TRUSTING God with my most minute details in my life has been one that has challenged me thru life. In 2011, there were times when I felt rather dry, merely going thru the motions of spending time reading my devotions but not actually feeling like I have even gone into a deep time of contemplation and conversation with God. Then I feel that my prayers were becoming more of a ritual rather than a actually engaging n my meaningful time of ADORATION, INTERCESSION & THANKSGIVING. What else can I do? Where's my FIRE, where's my passion to WANT to know Him more and OBEY Him more?

How can I grow DEEPER in my relationship with Christ & continue to discover the plans that God has for me.? What is His will for me and how do I walk in that direction. With regards to my commitments, my passion for missions, my future family, my future career, how do all these pieces form up to honour my Lord and Savior.

Thru my words, thru my actions and thru my thoughts, am I pleasing God?

and the list goes on and on

and i know this is the same feeling of immense feeling of loss and missinng like every other trip but i can't help it

I really thank God for the opportunity to be part of His mighty plan over at MOZAMBIQUE, AFRICA, even if it was just a short period of 2 weeks ish. He is working in the lives of people and these things will grow. Just as the people dig furrows to get ready to plant, then sow seeds to get ready to harvest.. then when the time is ripe, they reap the harvest, God is working and slowly but surely, the people's hearts will be ready.. And to be part of that big plan, i feel privileged :D I see the potential in each child, how shy, or how noisy, how innocent or how cheeky each child may be, I see the church leaders in them.. Though language may have been an initial barrier and susequent obstacle to further interaction, but i really enjoyed the times where the children sang along with me and taught me numbers from 1 to 10 and body parts in Yao :DDD Ung, Dosh, Thrash, Wathrru, Sigu, Sehshi, Sehteh, Oi-ey-tu, Norveh, Dehshi! and Head and shoulders knees and toes = Duay Digoyo Dilungo Yala and other variations like Duay Mawiwi Lubula Mehno = Head and ears and nose and teeth & Duay Umbo Mehrro Vakamua = Head and Hair and eyes and mouth! :P HAHA

A few songs that they taught me: (My favourite!)

Ar-jey-umuay-guendeh

Maniamuay

Ar-jey-umuay-guendeh

Maniamuay

Argungagunaburia

Roosh-golagajia-ula

Numbo-gutehga-udimbo

Numbo-gutehga-ha-oh-leh

:DDDD

Basically this song is about a grandfather asking the children to go to school, but they refuse.. they wanna catch birds! HAHA CUTE.

Arguangudi-ar-bang-duay ka

Arguangudi-ar-bang-duay

Arsi-Arsi Gumula

Arsi Gumula Lone-gee

& a song that Abel liked and learnt first:

Shina Maria Shina Maria

Kushiya Maria

Ar-eh Shina Maria

Shigorongorro, Shigorongorro..

Isaguna Isaguna Ars..

...

And when they have finished singing ABC with me, I'll say "Very good!" with thumbs up :) and when i mastered their song they lift 2 thumbsup and said "Muey-tu-bor" - Very Good in portuguese :P HAHA.. our little friendship. Children and me :D

Now that I'm back in reality, there are anxieties, there are worries, what will Uni life be like, will even get into any? haha but I need to trust in God even with the smallest details of my life..

I’m tired, I’m weary

Rejuvenated in Mozambique, in the village

Now it’s back to Singapore, time to flip the page

Drawing strength from God and Him alone

My Creator, Redeemer

Once like a parched bone,

But now refreshed because of Him – Jesus, My saviour

p.s for minor details, my pictures onFacebook track my every move :P

INCOMPLETE - TO BE COMPLETED ASAP :P wait up! :P

dun ask

2011-01-22T00:07:00.002+08:00

let me tell you about how my life is some othertime. about my work some other time.when i'm in the mood

i'm sorry, all i can think of is to write, to spill. to ..be sad. haha. okay sorryfor the emo post :P erm. okay honestly, of all my 18 years on this earth, who are my friends? this word has caused me much heartbreak, as well as brought me much joy, and yet, caused so much hurt too. Who are they? who? have i wasted my life not having made friends who can be there for me when i need them? when i cry, will there ever be that friend to feel itfrom miles away? to embrace me when tears cannot stop flowing? To actually be interested about my life? i wanna be that friend. okay but maybe i fail. Am i just too idealistic? people i always thought were gonna be my friends for life, who have been my friends all my life, who have overcome challenges and recovered with me, yet now i feel this friendship slipping away. i dun wanna try anymore, cos the more i put in, the harder i fall. I am not_____ though it may seem to be.

i'm hurt.

thought the end will never come

hOrrible HORRIBLE dreams. go AWAY

2010-11-22T10:17:00.006+08:00

I just woke up
I'm soooo exhausted.
URGH the horrors of A levels.
I have no idea why it's affecting me so much, the stress, the pressure...

the night before:
Dreamt that i got back my results. In my dream i felt soo bad, but that feeling, if i think about it now, it's irrational. felt unsettled and uncomfortable. [made me feel like that the whole day until i watch Disney Channel ~ 16 Wishes :P] okay anyways, in my dreams, most of the results were good, in fact way past expectations, but i totally ignored those and focused on the really bad one-GP. sighh, wasn't that i failed or anything, just felt.. really awful. the nagging feeling won't go away.. then i was called to watch like movie from a library computer screen, like it was supposed to be a whole class thing, when i went, there were like only 2 ppl :O yeah, and we could EAT in the library. how weird, the library was certainly different from my school real one but i knew it was the school library. strange and STRANGE. and alot of other disjointed dreams that seemed to link. everything must be very messy in my confused brain.

the most recent(morning i guess):
I dreamt that i was somewhere, then Anjney called saying that lit consultation was NOW! iwas far from school. consultation supposed to start at 10am, it was 10:20am :O scary! i panicked. no one told me the change in date! was lit consultation today ALR? somehow i appeared at school in like the next moment, i wasn't even prepared for lit consultation. I imagined the worst consequences, but Miss K merely said, arrange another date, just me and her. that was kinda a relief but then, it's like there were snide undertones to it.i was like maybe it's a good thing that i meet her one to one, then i'll dare to ask more boldly instead of in a big group. Then my dream transitted [frankly i dunno which came first anyway] i was kinda like in a hotel/chalet-ish setting. Isaac did something wrong, i brought him away to wash his hands, down the aisle, can't really remember details..... faith and me, together with a big group, going for a swim down a long stretch of water, to reach a destination of some mountain top? then i was hald-decided on whether i should change to contacts(what if it dropped out! i'll only start wearing a new pair after As, now still one week early-kinda) so weird, As like not over i'm like on some holiday. grrr strangee like x100000..

I guess i'm just feeling all stressed up over... my results and last 2 exams? i'll trusted it all into God's hands, or so i thought. dreams reflect an inner, unconscious being within me, am i still feeling hopeless? yes, econs paper 1 indeed made me feel super demoralized like i dun think i can write any good econs essay alr. but still, many ppl found it tough, why am i still so affected and keep thinking of those negative thoughts, everything is in good hands. but i feel so scared. argh how come i could surrender my all to God during Os, why am i like that. These dreams are distressing nd definitely tiring. i need to chill, be calm and STUDY!.. it will certainly affect me doin my last 2 papers to the best of my abilities. it's so easy to tell ppl dun worry after they have faced with difficult papers(bell curve to the rescue!) but so difficult to convince myself. grrrr...

STRUGGLES. Help Dear Lord. Help me to TRUST in You...

love DISTRACTIONS and digressions

2010-11-18T10:02:00.009+08:00

Heartbreaking to get over…

2010-04-14T20:41:00.009+08:00

Have we ever looked at a child and become so filled with compassion? On the surface, they look so contented with all that they have in life, no hint of being burdened by the realities of this world which often bogs us down, impeding our way to true happiness. Well, that look of pureness and innocence in their eyes can easily melt our hearts. Their smiles fill us with a sense of warmth and fulfillment and yet, we do not see the things that these young children have to experience at home…

Some of these children have been through even more emotional hardship and heartbreaks at home. This Childcare Centre(prefer to remain un-named) has a mission to curb delinquency among disadvantaged young people and their families and to move them beyond their problems, they want to develop young people who respect the law, value education and seek to become responsible persons. It has been proven that the first 6 years of a child’s life are the most formative ones and with this Centre’s constant guiding and teaching, children are taught to how to integrate into society as good and law-abiding citizens who contribute to society as they live their life. These children may face a whole load of emotional baggage and burden that their parents carry and all these on impressionable children and they watch and learn the adults around them. Values get ingrained into these children and if they do not get the opportunity to learn right from wrong, they may very well be deprived of that chance to live their lives right. It is therefore pivotal for them to receive an education disregarding their financial status.

I believe that empathy comes through experience and many of us have never actually been through the hardships that these children have experienced so as much as we may try to, we never will comprehend. That is a hard reality to accept. It also results in a painful end to let go. Although we set out with the deep desire to serve the community, how much can we actually do? Sure, we can share the love and joy and bring a smile on their faces, but on a deeper level, are we able to determine a bright future for them? Have we done enough? “If they needed someone to hold them to feel safe in somebody’s arms, why can’t I do that? I want to let them feel secure, I want to protect them from the harshness of reality…” What is the point of Service Learning when all we can contribute is so seemingly insignificant? These were the resonating thoughts and questions etched in my heart even as we left.

Service Learning is always the time when I witness the deeply etched passion in 09A05. Each and every single one of us puts in our best effort, we do our very best, we set our hearts and minds hard at work, and we certainly have our hearts filled with compassion and love for these children. Such eagerness can be seen through the intensity and efforts that each one of us puts in. What strikes me the most is that when it came down to this, we were serious and yet, enjoying the moments that only last for that moment. These moments are short-lived, yet, we take every opportunity to do all that we can, we strive to bring joy into these children’s lives, each and every one of them, not wanting to leave any out, for they all deserve a meaningful and fulfilled childhood, all of them do.

Indeed, Service Learning 2010 has allowed many of us to reflect upon the things of our society and certainly brought about a much deeper desire to serve and i believe that our contribution to society will definitely not end here. Each of us will strive to do so much more, with our limited capabilities, we will each contribute a little to make Singapore a better place to live in, a better society for individuals to integrate into, despite their background.

In dedication..

2010-03-25T18:58:00.003+08:00

With all my heart, I dedicate this to my Grandfather in Heaven…

What can I say? Where do I start? It’s been a whole 6 days since the demise of my Beloved Grandfather and I still need comfort, I still miss you O so much. There are just sooo many things I want to do with you Gong Gong. I wanted to go to China with you! I Wanted to experience a holiday with you! I wanted to spend more quality time with you Gong Gong! I couldn’t wait for the end of the A levels, and yet, I can’t now. Though I’m really happy that you’re in heaven now, safe in God’s hands, I still miss you and my heart’s greatest regret is still not being able to go to China with you, how I imagine it to be, it will never be. I still wanted to go to your house to visit you and Po Po and I wanted to drive you around despite the fact that you can already drive. I wanted you to be at my wedding, be there when I have my first child. I know all these are indeed impossible. I’m still grateful that you lived till a ripe old age and are surely still very much healthy! I really look up to you, your patience and sacrificial love towards people amazes me. It keeps me going. I know you wanted me to continue to study Chinese because it is important and certainly relevant in the future, I will not fail you, I’m going to do my very best in my Chinese paper and do you proud. I must do that much for you Gong Gong.

The evoked sense of loss cuts deep but somehow, the pain is lifted because I know that God is near. The assurance that you are looking down on me from above and awaiting my arrival comforts my grieving heart. God has faithfully shown His grace and mercy through this period and though the sense of loss still lingers, I have this heart filled with confidence and faith, knowing that You love me all the same.

I thank God for the peaceful and swift deliverance in the way that you left us. That you suffered no pain or agony when you departed brings us much consolation. Indeed, “If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.” 2 Tim 2:13 for each and every one of us lacked the assurance that Gong Gong was safe in God’s hands. Uncle Michael prayed. I prayed. I believed the whole family prayed for God to show us that Gong Gong is really safe in His arms, to some extent, doubting that Gong Gong’s simple faith will grant him eternity in Heaven, we were wrong to be so faithless after the relentless prayers but God so compassionately showed us His assurance, that we need not fear. God showed to us, through different ways and methods, that He is with us and Gong Gong is safe in His hands. It is not by coincidence that Uncle Michael prayed for a sign and it was given. It was not by coincidence that Mummy prayed for assurance and it was given to her by the constant appearance of the number 18, Gong Gong’s name, the 18th of March, departing time 1844, and the constant appearing of the number 18. W.O.W. It is certainly not by coincidence that I felt that nagging feeling when I almost couldn’t make it for the last reunion dinner on the last day of CNY, then made the decision to just go. And not only that, it was not by coincidence that I sat beside Gong Gong and enjoyed the time wholeheartedly. Even before that night, I believe that God gave me so many opportunities to really just sit down with him just to talk. He shared with me about his past. How he came to Singapore and the things that he did. Yes, he was an amazing Grandfather, certainly not one whom memories will be forgotten. The little but thoughtful things that he has done for the family are indeed remarkable. He may be quiet but through his silence, he speaks volumes. From him, I have learnt humility, service and a heart to love others. A living example lived for me to witness, I am WOW-ed.

Honestly, I’m in awe of God’s timing. For these past 2 years, my family has been able to make for the New Year’s Eve dinner with my maternal family which we haven’t been able to for previous years because it always clashes with my paternal reunion. I’m glad we could, I’m sure Mummy was happy too. Also, I was THAT close to giving the last reunion dinner a miss because I was at camp and it was almost impossible for me to get out of camp. I’m sooo glad I did eventually with Mummy’s reminder that it was Gong Gong’s treat and that he was already getting older and older each year. I has this nagging feeling that I would really regret if this was indeed the last reunion dinner I ever had with him so I resolved to go. WOW. And indeed, though hard to believe, it was the last. I can’t emphasize how CLOSE I was to giving it a miss, taking such reunion dinners for granted. And that reunion dinner, I do not believe that it was by coincidence that I decided to take the seat right beside Gong Gong when I saw it vacant. [Usually, the children sit at one table while the adults sat at another] It was my first time ever that I sat beside Gong Gong during a reunion dinner as far as I can remember. I just had that yearning. I have no regrets. Thank You Lord. My heart was prepared slowly but surely by God. It was no coincidence that there was an increased number of wakes that I attended and attending them really made me aware of how time passes so quickly we should treasure our loved ones with the time we have NOW. I have learnt the importance of spending time with the family and not having any regrets because, if we haven’t realized, death happens unexpectedly and at any time at all. It just happens, at a blink of an eye, a snap of the finger. The time is NOW.
Oh, and talking about time, I’m really glad it happened in the midst of my Block Tests 1, surprising? No. It was the perfect time. It really challenged me to place my ultimate trust in God. Results can be good or bad, but most importantly, family ties are important. More important than results. Well, I believe that I will have a heart full of thankfulness even if this is the first time I fail all my exams and have to face the consequences, I’m ready. God will lead me through. When I come to the bridge, God will be there to hold my hand, I’m sure of that. God has assured us time and again, there is no need to fear or lose faith. Faith, is truly, believing in what we do not see. Words cannot describe the amount of comfort that washes over me each time I see Uncle Kee Ching, Auntie Wai Leng, Uncle Michael, Auntie Elsie, Auntie Jasmine, Uncle Keat Kheng, Timothy, Natalie and Samuel and not to mention my family. Each time I see us together, I feel like we CAN overcome, we WILL spur each other on towards the faith. I believe that God has chosen us as His people and so we will walk faithfully and cling on to the hope we profess. We MUST. It’s a consolation to see the bondage among us, the unity that we have that is so strong there is nothing we cannot overcome together. The power of WE.

Too amazed by God’s intervention I really have no words to express. On Monday, it was the day of my economics examination, but more importantly, it was the day that we collected Gong Gong’s ashes from Mandai Crematorium. I felt that I should go. I ended school at 10am.  It was the least I could do because I loved Gong Gong Oh so much. Though Mummy and Daddy said it was going to be just the adults and I felt slightly guilty about not studying when my exams were just the next day. However, it was literature the next day and I believed my exam timetable was arranged in a way such that I was not stressed up by my Tuesday and Thursday paper, it being lit papers. So I still decided to go, though I may possible be the only child there, I felt that I should. I needed the closure. On the contrary, when we reached, I saw Tim there, and that was comforting, to know that he, like me, wanted to go. When we were picking Gong Gong’s bones, it was assuring to hear that Gong Gong was indeed still very much healthy. His bones were pure white, which is equivalent to a baby’s healthy bones. WOW. Gong Gong was so healthy, I’m glad he left us healthy and happy. The clouds at that time were looming, but no raindrop fell. As we left Mandai Crematorium heading towards Garden Of Remembrance, I noticed that we were moving out of the aread where the clouds were looming and into the area where the sun was brightly shining and the clouds were a bright white and the sky a beautiful blue. It was beautiful. It was like God’s comfort to me, that we come out of the darkness and into the light. “Mummy, look at the skies, it’s beautiful…” and somewhat symbolic from my point of view. I was amazed. Simple, yet impactful. When we reached the Garden of Remembrance, the weather was fine, we headed out of our cars and headed to where they put the ashes, Gong Gong’s niche. It started drizzling. While it was installed, we took photos, reminisce over the good old times and when all was done, we crowded in a circle around Gong Gong’s niche and began to sing three beautiful songs of praise unto God. Great is Thy Faithfulness, … and … Just as we began to sing, the rain grew heavier and heavier and with each verse we sang, there was great thunder and lightning we could hardly hear anything except our voices and the rain, coming down so hard onto the Earth, God opened the heavens unto us just as we were singing praise to Him and crying out our hearts’ desire to honour and worship Him through the grief that we bore. Heaven orchestrated the time of worship, it was magnificent and indeed spectacular and awe-inspiring. God had been there with us, and I believe that Gong Gong was also pleased with his children and grandchildren. The moments of worship touched each and every single one of us and filled us with the immense joy and reassurance to renew our faith and adoration unto His name. It was like His love poured down on us, I have never heard such loud thunder before and the amazing thing was that my uncle, standing nearest to the ledge, had not a single rain drop upon his head, all the rain we may have felt were on our feet, how could that be possible without a Mighty God who was there with us. Then we had a time of prayer where each of us really poured out what were on our minds and prayed and prayed. To me, that was inspirational, God’s hand is at work in each and every one of His children and He has chosen us, once lost and now found in His embrace..

Now that you’ve seen what I’ve gone through, surely, God’s work is that great, unlimited by anything on this earth, so, are you ready to trust that Great God, who loved us so much, He gave His Son as a sacrifice to atone for our sins. Are you ready to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, He has done so much for our family I trust that He will do much in yours. The time is indeed NOW.

bERLin. GERMANY. the cool.

2009-12-04T23:01:00.005+08:00

I love BERLIN.

HAHAS. must be because it was a SCHOOL trip :P so, it was days filled with walks and talks and museums. All around Berlin, sure there was repetition at times but overall, i think, only 45% went into my knowledge? hahas..

I went to the airport feelin' quite sick. i almost did not feel like going, after the months of waiting! Really felt like throwing up, plus the aches i got from the sunday stress and vacation bible camp(i feel i did not give it my all this year and i regret. cos i was feeling quite unwell most of the time. sobs) but after all that, i still headed to the airport, i think i felt better outdoors, could be the excitement though :P

plane ride was TERRIBLE. felt so URGHH. 1+13 hours of TORTURE. pffttt.

SO SO. we reached the airport and...

on the bus ride around GERMANY lunch here :] next dayy :] BREAKFAST!
@ the school! performances! chats! IT WAS FANTASTIC! :D at another museum :] with esther next morning SUNRISE :] prettyy :P

i really wanna say that life has been a bed of roses.

CHRISTian united

2009-06-12T10:25:00.005+08:00

I LOVE YOU LORD AND I WANT TO SERVE YOU.

SAJC's first CHRISTIAN UNITED camp!!!!!!! goin by faith, i did not know what to expect. hmm, why did i even sign up? i guess i was excited about a christian camp with fellow saints! like WHOA.. out of my common group of GEFC friends, my comfort christian group but now, a camp with people i dun even know yet! by the sound of the name, i inferred that it would be a camp that would start the bonds between christians in school and then we will be sent out there, influencing our sphere of friends. Yeah, thats it. sounds interesting. i was excited. and then, i was scared. "wat if it doesn't turn out well? won't i be more discouraged about school?" i took the leap of faith.

BUT NOOOOOO.. God had bigger plans! =P we did not have sermons, but, we had ENVISIONING, we had MINISTRY WORKSHOPS, and of course, GAMEEEEESS =P hahas! 5 ministries: worship. fellowship. evangelism. ministry(serving). prayer. anyways, it was a tough decision. i did not know where i was called to go. so i went along with the most comfortable: worship! hahas. then i thot bout' it. "no. this is what i have alot of exposure in GEFC. already in the worship team and learning so much from the worship team and pastor andrew. ok change." then i headed over to fellowship! hahas. "easy. i lovee having fun and enjoying the bonds with fellow christians and be surrounded by company,friends and just having fun. then again, no. i could do this easily. it's my nature. i had so many ideas already! ok, change." rahhhh.. dunno where to go alr!

next day, mentor matthew was discussing with us the different spiritual gifts we each have. guess guess! me?

number 1: Hospitality, i like making new comers feel welcome. (well, a teensy bit true i guess, but i dun tink i'm nice by nature.. muahahahas =P)
number 2: (got 3!) Faith, Showing mercy and Encouraging/Exhorting. COOL. HAHAS. never thot i would be merciful(muahahahas), and show faith? heeheex =P the rest, is for you to interpret in whatever way you want to.. =P

yepps. then Matthew went on to say that no one actually signed up for the evangelism ministry. i.. thot about it. EVANGELISM. hahas. hmmm.. thats like one of my weaker aspect. And, it's my name's meaning, my intended purpose on earth! DRAMA abit =P hahas. pardon me.. eh heh.. but still, my name eh. cannot be meaningless.. my parents wanted me to spread the love, spread the gospel. okokies. next STEP OF FAITH. evangelism, here i comeee... wahahahs.. so i went up to rachel and said "erm.. can i change to evangelism. hahas"

so on foreign grounds i treaded. hahas =P during lunch, vincent asked who was goin to join evangelism. hahas. a lonely soul raised up her hand =P hahahas.. yea yea.. cool lah =P i din feel lonely, hahas, surprisingly.. when he asked again, 5 hands shot up. WHOAAAAAA.. the influence of EVANGELINE pulling the crowd. hahas! okokies, nahh, not my power, but the power of God's prompting. still, it was cool.

i've learnt so much thru the session! we were shown 2 videos, 'Cultivating compassion for the lost',one about a fireman who watched a family of 5 burn in a burning building but did nothing and shocked many. And then it says that by not spreading the gospel, we are doing very much the same, allowing others to burn in hell and not bothering to show a concern by spreading the gospel.that was a scary truth(:O)and the other video is 'Hell's best kept secret'. WOW. these videos really opened my eyes to so many fresh insights. On one of the evangelistic events in the states, about 284 000++ (can't remember the exact figures) received Christ. But the sad fact was that when checked, only about that 84 000 were regularly attending a bible study group, thats's over 200 000 backsliders! they lost so many. the thing is that in most evangelistic events, the people are always promised all the good things- love, joy, peace, happiness, forgiveness,"Salvation is free","God loves you"...... but they fail to let the people know that by receiving Christ, the amount of life's challenges and obstacles still exist, God did not promise a smooth sailing life. Hence, we looked at the bible, the story where the prince approached Jesus and asked, "what do i have to do to receive salvation? and go to heaven." And Jesus said, that he has to obey all 10 commandments and the prince replied that he had done his best. Then Jesus said, "now, sell all that you have and follow me" and the prince walked away, disappointed. jesus did not offer all the good things despite knowing that He would have lost the young man. Because, the gospel comes with BEARING the cross. And then, the video went on to show us the approach, that prevents us to be too offensive when sharing the gospel.

okies, other than that, i made many new friends! and the FOOOOD was GOOOOD =P hahahahaas! buffet on the last night. and we watched so many movies: Facing the Giants, and so many more on the last night =P heh heh.. although i fell asleep at parts of it. i love our bunks, super spacious and the air con was shiok to the max =P hahas. and and, worship was fun. the people were funny, i gotta find fun ppl each with their special gifts. yea yea. i lovee Anette's voice!! i get mesmorized.. hahahas.. love it =P oh oh, the floor we slept on was hard though and on the first nightm din sleep very well, but doesn't matter, thats the fun of camps. i more trtured, the more fun. hahas. tokin bout torture. We had to do push-ups as punishments even after we broke camp(10:30am)! hahas. but i found it as a good opportunity to realise that the journey may be tough, but we have to serve each other, help one another out, it's all part of being in the body of Christ. CHRISTIAN UNITED. united we stand, together we soar. reflects that even after this camp, we gotta continue the united spirit and team spirit and hold on tightly to the dream of the gospel coming thru in SAJC. thats our goal, touching lives.

after the camp, some of us headed down to Terminal 3 and had POPEYES for lunch!! more fellowship and even fewer of us headed to Starbucks to get a drink, i went cos i had the promise of a car ride home.. wahahahs =P and so, sat there till 3+. it was fun, crapping and learning more about each mentor. they are a fun group of people and looking at their passion for God, i am inspired. joke joke jokes. =P hahas.. yeah, so thats bout it for camp.. looks like quite a journey eh? :P

Well, i could have been in Germany enjoying myself. i could be in Germany absorbing in the breath-taking scenery. i could be in Germany bonding with the Youth Ambassadors! but noooooooo.. because of the cancellation of this trip, i'm able to attend both the CHRISTIANS UNITED camp AND church camp!! notice the trend. =P hahas. Definitely more fruitful and it has opened my eyes to the ma ny possibilities to serve God even when i enter university. no matter what my future holds, i want to TRUST in God, let Him take the lead and i humbly obey. It's a lesson of placing my pride down, rid myself of myself and let the Spirit consume me.

This is my dream in life, this is who i want to be, i want to make full use of my youth for God alone, for it is the most meaningful way of life. Then in the future, i can look back without regrets. yeahhhh.. way to go.

hols are sweeeeeeeeeeet!

2008-09-02T16:28:00.014+08:00

friday!! teacher's day celebration! fun!

the day was full of it's prezzies to different special teacher's, the performances of gymnastis and dances, and to end off, a pathetic class party? guess we've all lost the enthusiam, compared to the sec 2 and 3s.. just look at their class spirit.. in sec 4, most of us just pon school on such a day or don't get passionately involved.. sighs.. still, quite fun! planned to meet up with LIZA and still had some time to kill, so, felicia and i hopped down to tiong.. to.. walk walk! hahas though the time was short, i enjoyed it! =DD

met up with LIZA, she brought her bf.. felt kinda weird, but then, got used to it in a while.. well, when we first arranged to meet, i was filled with anxiety, excitement and suspense all at once! i din know wat to expect and most of all how it would all turn out! it was scary.. but i did not wan to miss this rare opportunity.. and.. i'm glad i went!! there was so much familiarity between us that i felt we were still in the same school, guess i kinda went back in time to when we were as close as close could be.. we caught up on each others' life and really just toked and toked like there was no tomorro.. hahahahahahs, it was HILARIOUS AND EXCITING! we toked over lunch(though we din eat, only her bf did) hahahs, and over tea at coffee bean(now, it was liza eating) =P we chatted bout the past, the times we spent.. and the quarrels we got into(which was quite often for the 4 of us) and the present, how we were coping with the stresses of o levels and even bout clara and yun wei! we decided it would be great if the 4 of us met up after the O's!! lets hope we'll be able to! well, to mark the exciting occasion, we went to take neoprints!! here they are! >>

later on, i decided to go and join simin and laurentia on their dress hunt shopping spree! hahas, for prom.. laurentia gotta wear a dress! or something formal.. i was excited! (smiles cheekily) =P i know they needed me and so, i flew to their aid! hahahs, they needed my opinions and my chirpiness to cheer them up! hey, shopping could be extremely draining and so, eVaNgELiNe to the rescue!! hahas, i know they were happy to see me k, just that their words did not do their heartfelt feelings justice.. hahahhaahah!when i saw them, they were on a bench and kinda knocked out.. hahahs.. and so, i was there to boost their enery! soon after munching on some leftover chips and sprite, we were off! and imagine my enthusiam!! hahahahs, i only like to help others shop and give my views on wat they are trying on, never will they see me trying on anything! seriously! hahahahas

there were a few shops tat we went into and browsed thru.. it was quite a challenge to find something that laurentia like, cos she gotta step out of her comfort zone.. and i know how difficult that could..

when our poor feet could no longer bear the strain, we decided to chill at coffee bean! ooh lala! hahas, now, i was hungry, haven't really eaten a proper meal the whole day! (for the record, i did not eat a proper meal that whole day! and boy was i hungry the next day- planting event)

anyways, i kinda copied and pasted from si min's blog so, pardon me for the repetition and simin, thanx! hahahs

Guinea pig #1: hmmm, smells innnteeeerrreessstttiinnnggg *twitches eyebrow*

Guinea pig #2: ugh, my nose ain't functioning...i shall use my detective mouth to sniff it out instead. :D

Guinea pig #3: hey hey!! you left me outttt! D:

Heart to heart talk with Si Min as we walked home. never knew we actually went thru the same experience! my EXACT sentiments the way u seem to have gone thru it.. if only we knew and shared..

den made a slow and reluctant trip to church.. sighs, been feelin quite left out in church? guess everyone feels like dis once in a while.. haha.

still, i tried to offer help as best as i could.. soon, i tink i caught on the the excitement-finally! and started out on a signboard namely, the KRAZY KUISINE.. and since rachel and i were unable to complete it, we had to come back the next morning! well, tat sorta pushed me on to actually coming for the event, the hard decision was finally made, i can't leave my creation to be completed by someone else, i'll be letting myself down if it din look nice..

this is just spilling into the next day, i set my alarm and woke up.. that was the crucial period.. to go or not to go, tat was the question..=P and so, i wiped out my devotions book for God to lead me thru, even though i knew where He wanted me.. where i can grow spiritually and where the fellow christians are.. i struggled but ultimately, needless to say, God won.. Acts 2:42-47 devotion:a story which says.. one may feel uncomfortable in a youth group at times, but God wants us to grow and grow in the right path - to do so, we gotta be surrounded by God's people as they are a source of strength as well.. and so, i went!

WOW, yea there were times i still felt funny but when the people came.. i blended right in.. the games were fun, the friends that came were fun! oh, everything just fitted nicely and now, i no longer feel that pang of loneliness.. i was super touched firstly when Atticus(my cousin) dedicated a song to me.. i mean, really, small acts but it went a long way! secondly, it was great to have JIE NI AND PETRINA there.. long time no see petrina, but it still felt like we saw each other everyday! Jie Ni, although we got close on msn, i felt that we were like best friens thru the years alr! amazing how God works in my life! And so, with this, the day ran smoothly, all the way till night time, i thot with the sudden lack of activities, i would break down again at night.. but no.. thru the way with joel, smses from lester and ivan, it was fun chats all the way till sleeping time! fun!! fun!! FUN! (:*END*

completion of our masterpiece

we're playing taboo!! whoots

we're playing saboteur!!

I LOVE YOU ALL- THOSE THAT I'VE MENTIONED

times to try despite the outcome

2008-07-04T19:48:00.009+08:00

hey, just wanted to cheer u up but i guess i shouldn't say it out right, becos of the facades ppl put on? and u never know who is real.. hmm, being genuine here: i leave it up to you.. just know tat i am willing to listen even without details.. just bad u feel.. i believe that if u share, i will also share my weakest point so that we create this kind of 'secrecy code' or something.. rest assure that i will keep in confident things tat u pour out.. :)))

know tat we may not seem to be TAT close and go all silly together thru those few and limited interactions.. but i really want to be if u permit.. :D dun feel discouraged when these things happen becos they are part of life, just learn, grow and move on.. not hide in a shell, nopes, not healthy.. find someone who is really MORE trustworthy.. ;)

**sometimes.. ppl, those that look like they are most accepted, don't feel they are.. so don't tink that someone else is living a more comfortable life than you are. be happy with wat u r given.. and try to understand that everyone has their times of depression and sorrows.. don't be surprised when u know wat they are REALLY feeling.. cos, believe me, 9 out of 10 people u see that are smiling, something is bothering them.. show em some concern if u can and be sensitive.. =D it's nice to know if people can sense ur loneliness and heavyness of heart and just gives u a pat on the back as an encouragement.. i know! cos of personal experience.. i wanna do that for others.. if u trust me enough.. i am more to wat meets the eye

here i am

2008-06-10T00:55:00.002+08:00

first things first.. a little on sundae: at first, it was a little different kind of service we went to at xin jie's church for the whole purpose to attend her family's commissioning.. it was all in chinese but i tried my best to pay attention and even digest what they had to say.. it was on how we should go about to announce the good news of Jesus.. haha.. wow, i understood! and even tried to sing some of the songs.. yes, i tink we will miss u as a part of out forest!! i'm sorry tat we've failed to make this friendship bloom..

anyways, after kaleo and fastforward till after lunch..some of the young adults decided to go to vivo and i was actually quite reluctant but i never regretted that i went, if not (the hurt that you've caused would have hit me so much harder!!) we kinda went window shopping to like 4 shops? haha.. su lynn was there, as well as both alicia(s), jian shin, peng hock, terence, daniel choo, ernest, lawrence and jamie.. hahas.. tze bin and Daniel(ernest's brother now) came later to join us to coffee break.. i ate apple pie with ice cream!! yum!! haha.. i din spend on lunch, so heart not so pain.. heex! and some of them bought the rubics cube and so they were trying to figure it out.. at this point in time, i received the first sms to all the problems tat were to come..haiz..

den we slowly made the decision to go to daniel's house for dinner! haha, it's like lunch, then tea break, then dinner.. hahahaha.. eat eat eat..went to giant to but some stuff to cook first then we proceeded to carribean!! yays, dinner at dan and ernest's house!! and they are cookin!! hoho, wat should i expect..

at their house, i tried to complete some of my homework but i continued to receive more of the smses that bugged me real bad.. (dis is why without a phone is so much better.. den i could escape all these problems/conflicts)-technology! tsk! found out.. and yes, i ______.. i was super hurt and felt so cheated la.. lies..

anyways, daniel spotted me in dis kinda scenario again! so awkward! haha, but he din bother to 'investigate' and probe.. haha *phew*.. but i thing it was good that i was distracted by all the jokes and laughter tat surrounded me.. and we watched some videos on youtube.. funny!

amazingly, i managed to clear the mess and keep myself feelin better before i went to sleep.. and for once, i was seriously lookin forward to mondae!

oops, i kinda crossed what i set out to do.. write ONE paragraph for sundae and more bout to todae.. haha.. oops.. anyways, today is the first day of my'efl'? doesn't even seem like it.. it is mission week for us.. i really miss sec1/2/3 EFL ALOT.. yea.. but it's okie.. some ppl toked to us bout religion and den we got a break den we proceeded to tok bout boy-girl and girl-girl relationships.. haha.. den lunch.. tats bout it.. but we sat down for such long hours i felt so uncomfortable and leg keep cramming up.. haha, food wasn't up to expectations like i heard from some others.. hope it will be more fun tomoro.. please! hahaha.. tats bout it for now..

God's love for me

2008-02-24T21:19:00.004+08:00

todae was THE dae.. haha i sang solo for offertory and noe wat? i messed up and i bet everyone noticed.. haha, was super affected and discouraged and demoralised till many came to encourage me in a very unexpected way! haha..

THANK YOU RACHEL, AUNTIE ANJU AND TZE BIN.. and atticus too.. hahaz was so touched by wat auntie anju said and yes i believe that dis is a lesson God is placing me thru.. dump my pride/attitude/selfish wants and put all focus on God and His love.. i am really reminded that i have nothin, it is God who made me wat i am and gave me wat i have.. the gift to sing is not my own but wat God want me to praise Him with.. Thank u Lord..

den went for lunch, had a yummy ramli burger and strawberri milkshake!! ooh shiok! haha.. and toked with marcus and atticus and joshua cos we were at the same table.. haha and it was fun.. wanted to back to church to play or something but they were playin risk, which is borin to me.. haha, in the end, i joined marcus as he studied.. soon after, mummy said we could go out and yays!! haha.. we went to caTHay.. bought tickets for fool's gold.. did not really have high expectations for it but it was a comedy so may not be that bad..

all in all, i had my share of fun.. and till now, 21:29, i have yet to touch my homework.. haha, oops, so i gotta run!

later, down to church i'll go.. lalala.. i had great plans for today but looks like i have neither the time nor the energy.. heh, wanted to come home.. den maybe go out with faith to watch a movie, buy some presents.. walk walk, shop shop.. den slowly make my way to church.. but.. cannot.. due to quite a number of reasons la, i was just fantasizing.. haha, {daydreams}

anyways, got my e and a math results today.. we could have gotten it yesterday but mrs fung wanted all our files and so, din want to release it.. it was so so only.. compared to my class.. (wat has happened to my math standard?!)

tats bout it.. i've learnt that life without my handphone and the use of the com can be tough and will cause strong reactions but once i came to accept it, it's really a very carefree life! really! no worries! haha.., i enjoyed it and learnt how to let go.. and forgive.. and put down my pride.. yes.. lessons of my life! now.. the responsibilities return and i will not take it for granted.. teehee!

byebyes for now!

FUN!! YUMMY FOOD!! and my tedious savings kinda went down the hill.. haha

ok, dis week has been so-so.. haha, same old thing, chinese mock exam again. i really dun like ltt leh, i tink she is biased lor, haha.. she doesn't even bother to ask why i'm doin so bady but blames me for not doin it in her format and style.. i mean, shouldn't a teacher find out the 'limiting factor' of the student?! haiz.. i'm sorry to say she sucks.. haha, i seriously do not understand a single word she utters.. it's all greek to me.. haha

other than tat, the rest of the dae was smooth.. teachers have been droning the fact that we have to wake up NOW if we have yet to do so.. haha, yea, ever since the release of GCE O level results yesterday.. [i dun wanna regret..] during bio class, we kinda watched the disection of an ox's eye as it is our topic now.. so grossed out lah. haha, black and gooey thingy, yep.. wan more info? neh! anyways.. math was as normal.. quite slack, i totally understand, hope i wont lag in time to come.. heh

came home.. slacked.. and prepared for bs.. i dunno if i should have felt so inferior but i did.. haiz, EVANGELINE! must have confidence in urself! pull urself together, dun let wat ppl tink of u affect anything..

for the last 3 daes

2008-01-07T15:54:00.000+08:00

okies, a short blog on fridae night, it went quite well, but i din really enjoy the pizza not becos it was not good, but becos i ate something b4 i went for it... stupid u may tink but no... haha, mummy was on leave and she came home and brought me to eat yummy western food at Ema's Dinners!! yum.. at least i prefer that to pizza.. haha, but i still ate a little anyway, hope i din grow fatter.. haha, anyways, it was a night of sharing of our life for the past 2 months or so, and thanksgiving..yups, fun! it was long time no see! haha, i mean as a group..
sundae was good too.. forest gals had to prepare refreshments for kaleo that dae and amanda prepared alot! and i mean alot!! haha, and it was all yummy~! she prepared this flat oval like pasta(made up of potato and starch) which was to be eaten with spegetti sauce.. yum! and mash potato with spicy tuna in it, also yum! and she prepared drinks.. which is a sprite and lime kinda drink with crunchy apple bits in it... yum yum!! haha, cool eh?

after kaleo, we went for lunch and some of us came back to play seafarers of the catan.. exciting, as usual, with all the noise.. haha.. den Peng Hock, Daniel and Ernest and me proceeded to find dinner.. haha, sounds close to lunch? well not really, seafarers is a long game, and we even stayed back for quite a while becos some were still doin their work and others were planning for kaleo. We went on to Clementi food centre or something like that to eat, wasn't feeling very hungry but ate prawn noodles anyway.. haha,we toked and laughed.. after that, we sent Daniel and Ernest home.. Carribean!! tats where uncle kee ching has a house which he rents out!! haha, i was quite surprised.. we took a leisure walk around and the night breeze was really soothing, with the dock and the sea view, it was shiok shiok.. haha, den we visited their house and left.. Peng Hock sent me home.. yays!! i enjoy car rides home.. and we chatted bout certain stuffs.. haha, it has been an eventful dae..
wat about todae?? well, had PE for the first 2 periods! and took height and weight, which used to be my most dreaded time of the year.. and i tink that applies to many girls in my school.. haha, to face the truth of their height and weight..well, guess.. did i grow??
hmmm... YUPS.. i grew 1cm.. haha, ok la, and lost bout 2kg.. i'm happy, hey, but sometimes i dun like my height so those ppl who wan to be taller, u may wanna tink twice bout that becos i'm warning u, it's not good at all! i mean, who wans to stand out? i would rather blend in.. haha, but i'm contented with who i am.. after the whole thing, ms quek discussed bout some pe stuff and we proceeded to play freeze and melt and just after a minute, we were all panting.. haha, may be due to the two months of slack and gluttony.. hahahahahaha, okies, the game wasn't for nothing, it was to sorta train us up to dodge.. so can u guess wat's the next sprt we are goona learn? Touch Rugby!! we had a few exercises b4 the period ended..
The rest of the dae was fine.. and all was well.. haha, school ended at 1:50pm todae, which is the earliest of all my other daes.. den i had to go and meet my bowling teacher.. haiz.. training start tomoro.. and i dun even know if i'll get to take part in the b division competition.. i guess i'm not yet up to standard haiz.. it's an expensive sport and i dun have the opportunities to go for my own games so what to do?? nevermind, i'll just do my best and try to get in, al things will fall in place.. yups, i believe..

first few days of school

2008-01-03T20:51:00.000+08:00

first dae in school was quite slack... haha, got bout 4 free periods cos of settling admin stuff and gettin the temporary timetable goin for us... our school periods have changed to a 35 min per lesson, yays! i prefer it dis way, so tat not so draggy(previously 45 min per lesson), sadly, even recess was shortened.. no good!! haha, met up with friens! and saw some tat i made during the nov/dec holiday, from OBS and OCIP philippines... haha, fun! so many friens... kinda luv life now, not bad la... still dun have chinese in my timetable yet, so quite carefree and happy! (wait till it comes... haiz, terror!!) school ended at 3:35pm yesterday and i had to rush for LL, but i enjoyed it... dunno y, i like LL(The Learning Lab)!! tink it's the teacher..

haha... as for today, it was shorter.. ended at 2:25pm, earlier! it's a relief! haha.. den i went for lunch/dinner(around 4:30) at Seoul Garden and went for an impromptu dentist visit before that, changed my braces colour to blue and green!! cool colours! haha

2008-01-01T20:51:00.000+08:00

ooh!!! 2008 IS FINALLY HERE!!! hahahaha, hope that dis year will go smoothly, (which is kinda impossible when o levels are here).. slept over at lindy's last night, it was exciting and i slept at 5+am... and woke up at 11am... haha, we played worms!!! and it was fun! den as a sleepyhead, i went to bed first!! haha... anyways, school's startin and i'm totally not prepared, but here.... goes...... nothing! i'm gonna embark on it anyways, do i have a choice? haha
This year's resolution:
1. work very hard and do well in exams and finally o levels!
2. exercise more! keep fit and eat less
3. be more patient and understanding
okies, tats all for now, dun tink i can manage but i'll try... haha, all the best to me! I need strength and perseverance and hopefully, the support from friends and family!!! yups, thats all for now, let's see how school goes tomoro......

*since some need a larger font... here it is!

wats up in hols 4 me?

2007-12-17T21:36:00.000+08:00

i noe i have not been on task and blogging for quite awhile... sorry, heh... anyways i have been very busy with overseas cip, camps, activities and MORE activities!!! so ya, and i have been journaling on my notebook instead, lazy to write again on blog... haha
after the long kunming trip, the next day have to go to philippines... wah, couldn't take the stress and was emotionally weak... haha, but during the trip, i found someone who was also troubled with something and we shared, i felt better after that, got friend's support le.
although there was much stress and challenges, i manged to survive! i think this kinda things help me to mix and adapt well, with all types of people... haha
Kaleo camp was really FUN!!! i made many new friends...yay! haha, den right after that again, it was OBS, like whoa, it was tough la, somemore rainy season den everything stinks... the weight load that we had to bear, to me, was unbearable!!! haha... i'm weak, bleah! and to add on, kayaking was non stop 7 hours!!! and i had the worst position - the sweeper. have to be last boat, it was irritating at time becos people behind expext us to wait for them and when we are at the back with no energy at all, they dun even care to look back... i admit: i was a little grumpy due to the irritation around. i have learnt, that during a camp, we have to be selfless and not take on the normal singaporean attitude, being kiasu. It was terrible when everyone was just lookin to their own needs and not thinking about others... my group even has outcasts,that was a little difficult to handle... No one wanted to be open minded after certain incidences... haiz, i'm just glad that i'm done with it.. to be honest, i din enjoy it... haha
Now, i'm in a christmas MOOD! and ready to buy prezzies! haha... but with all the new friens, i got more presents to buy, let's just hope i wont go broke after it all... i hope for the best christmas ever!!! yea...

The end of my sec 3 life

2007-10-19T20:57:00.000+08:00

hello... it's been a while eh? haha... i have been busy with e trips that i would be goin to at e end of the year even after e exams... now... results!! oh no... hee hee
i got back my english, chinese, social studies, biology and chemistry...i kinda did badly for chinese letter writing, english summary and social studies part 1... haiz... but i was in for a surprise for chemistry! i passed leh... and not barely... it was a B3, it may sound like a so-so mark but i improved from a F9 mark leh! so quite an accomplishment... and biology got A1!! haha firth time... teehee
i'm kinda worried for my maths and lit, hope i can do just as well, or better... anyway, what am i busy with now? This: OCIP trainings and preparations... Kunming trip preparations and all e packing i gotta do! i'm still cracking my brain on how i'm goin to cope with e continuous trips... i'll be goin for e kunming trip on e 4th to e 13th and 14th, i'm leaving again, to philippines this time... i'll be goin to a rubbish dumpsite, Payatas, Quizon City... to help e ppl there? who cant see further than life in a rubbish dump...
hmmm... i will blog more bout it when i return and of course e pics as well...

Also, i've been thinking of what i have been like and who am i, actually? my true identity... i have realised that i have been moulding myself to be what others want me to be... i seem to be living for others more than for myself? am i living life just to impress? or is it e real me? can i really be accepted for my true self? why am i different all over e place?? i want to discover e real me.... sometimes, i just get confused...

mummy's dae '07

2007-09-03T22:25:00.001+08:00

aiys, todae is e 3rd of sept and guess wat, it's mummy's birthdae!!! haha... faith and i woke up in the morning at around 10+ and decided to go to orchard road to buy mummy's birthdae present... haha, so last minute rite. so anyway, we went as mummy was at work(she took half day)

so, we shopped and looked and wondered around OG... wat did mummy need? actually, nothin much but she seemed to lack in handbags as wat ladies need most, so we looked around that area, impressive! expensive too... soon we found some suitable ones and they were of appropriate prices too... but still, we walked over to centrepoint to see if we could find any better deals, haha, typical 'kiasu singaporean'? not quite la, had to or else may be too impulsive... must see market rate first ma... it was around the same so we decided to buy the one in OG, yups, din look around that much, decision was quite swift...

after buying, we looked outside and it was raining cats and dogs... oh no... we were hungry and tired, to top it off, OG was just a department mall by itself and there was no food to be found! we had no umbrella, every time i see rain and need an umbrella, i would tink of my couz, gave him an umbrella as he said that smart people carried umbrella and i would feel it... haiz

it's ok, we waited a little and it began to clear up, soon, it was drizzling and we just chiong ah! (run for it!) ate at macs, the only place that had places to seat... and yum yum... den went to newton and got picked up to head towards the airport- to fetch daddy...

[fast forward to the dinner part] we headed towards raffles hotel and to the restaurant Bar and Billiard... it had a certain exquisite atmosphere! oOh, so excitin! haha we began to dig in! scallops! prawns! unagi! sashimi! delicious! and for desserts... fruits! ice cream! cheesecakes! chocolate fondue! chocolate pieces! pastries! yumyum... and there was this funny indian waiter who keep on speaking chinese to us, and faith din dare to move a muscle when he spoke... haha

we talked and joked and shared many stuff... faith ate till she was stuffed and spoke as if she was a pregnant women and mummy laughed till she was red in the face, witnessing that, i laughed as well... later i demontrated the disection of the pig's heart in a very exaggerated manner and we all laughed as well... hahaha, let's just say i enjoyed myself a whole bunch! teehee...

DISECTION! of a pig's heart

2007-08-30T21:32:00.000+08:00

Hey, today was interesting! but quite a disappointment too... haha, in a way... firstly, e day was goin on as usual, i was super hungry and refused to eat e cake i brought for e army safti trip later on in the day, and i resisted the temptation!!! but for nothin, in the end, i still forgot to take it along for the excursion... haiz... nevermind, i din go hungry, still had stuff to eat... oya, before we went for the trip, we had bio class so sad, when bio is interestin, it has to be cut short... anyway, we cut open the pig's heart to see the relevant valves, arteries and veins... haha, i was quite scared to touch it at first but i slowly opened up and tried, it was okie la... haha, i saw all e links in the heart and felt that wow, God is really so marvellous, he create things with much detail and i stood in awe of how complicated of how our human body is. Yes, our God is so great!
Yups, so anyway, we sat and waited for bout an hour for the bus to leave, haha so long? not really compared to how much time we spent waitin throughout the experience. we then left and since it was a rainy day, e air was moist and humid which is really not a good feelin and the muddy floor was squishy! ewww... haha, we waited like 1.5 hours to go for the real expedition... we sat, stood, moved and sat again for like for continually five times, so lame rite, if u were there, u would understand, it's like 'out of the world'!!! er... den we were on our way, yea excited as can be, we enthusiastically went up the next coach to be on our way... how excitin...(not really) when we reached, it looked like a carnival, mostly filled with little green people, from the view as we got off the bus... haha, we were only 15 mins to look around, how diao rite, all e waitin for 15 mins of the real thing! erh... waste my time, caused me much trouble... on the journey back, there was a traffic jam, as usual as it was peak hour alr... (just wat we needed after this redundant trip!) it's ok, i had a nice break and just indulged in my own world, admiring the wet scenery outside... reached school at bout 7:00pm and it's just not my day as the sole of my shoe came out, haiz... i surprised myself cos i did not get irritated or angry any part of it... i believe it was a test on my patience, resilliance, perseverance and determination... reflects quite a lot on my personality...
So, as a summary, e whole trip took up bout 5 hours which from it, we only enjoyed 15mins, it was a rainy day,had to miss today's replacement class and change it to a day during the holiday!(noooooooo......) and my sole came off! wow, what a day!!!! den a teacher explained tat there were this group of scouts that turned up without informing the organisation which this frenzy... haha... tok bout irresponsibility! it's okie... i had quite a lot of fun...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's nice to have someone just beside you,
a warm soul... breathing with you...
Heart... pumping... along with yours...
Can you feel this? can you understand?
To have this warm voice... echoeing beside,
and the presence of this person is heartwarming...
just the time spent together with you...
brightens your dae...
Knowing that there is love overwhelming, makes one contented,
it is this kind of love that makes us the human creatures of this earth, both, meant for each other... right from the start...

2007-03-11T21:02:00.000+08:00

heLoz! i'm back... missed me? haha [jkjk] anyways, it was great fun... i had to wake up at 5am in e mornin! and go to school to meet, i was very excited... haha. It was a fun bus journey... just jokin with friends, laughing together, playing cards and eatin snacks was already a great start to my trip... this would be a trip i will never forget...
1st day - we reached e cave complex and we had a briefing (lucky for us, we had newly renovated toilets!) haha.den, we settled into our tents, each tent had 4 ppl... our tent had air fresheners and mosquito repellent becos one of us was well prepared!) This was a great start for me... finally, dinner time, food wasn't so bad u noe? after dinner, we waited for e sky to turn dark b4 we could start on our night walk. we had to walk 2 km! in groups of 8, we had to make our own way back! without any torchlights leh... a bit scary la, i have to admit.Stars were shinin very brightly in e sky... but i dun realli like them becos they look like scars on the dark blue sky...But i survived e walk without any occurences with snakes! and we could go to bed... shhh...
2nd dae - woke up...prepared for abseiling! ooh... 1st time leh... wow, first sight down to where i will be goin was scary due to e height, it was very steep and stony. but when i slow made my way down, i got used to it... it was fun but actually painful on the back... well, maybe i was restricting and pullin on the rope too hard...there were others who cried but class unity was there and we encouraged one another... it was a heartwarming sight... den, lunch time... we had to use mass tins to cook our own food, we had maggie noodles, sardines,an egg and a sausage... haha! my cooked food was a success while si min's one was a total failure! muahaha... yumyum...after lunch, it was time to go caving! din noe wat to expect(thot it was using something to hit some cave down haha!) but, it was just climbing through e small holes in the cave and walking thru bat shit! but it was very fun in all. the time spent with friends and the things we experienced will never be forgotten... after tis, we moved to tekam to stay in dorms...
3rd dae - by tis time, we were alr nicely fitted into our dorms... fortunately, i was placed in the biggest dorm, made other in different dorms wan to come over all e time. i actually anticipated that dis camp would be strenuous and there would be activities after activities, but i was wrong... we had a lot of free time! on dis dae, we went for a tekam plantation day tour, it was borin at first becos of a ot of tokin and i almost nodded off. den, we had an opportunity to see rubber trees and cocoa trees... we saw how they collected rubber and even tried cocoa fruit! yum! it din taste like chocolate at all, tasted like soursop!
4th dae - dis is e supposedly most fun but most tirin day... we went to Taman Negara! trekked up the mountain and saw a beautiful sight(but cannot compare to Mount Panti)! walk walk walk...eat eat eat... clim climb climb...den we came to the rivers and we stayed there to eat packed lunch. now, time for RAPID SHOOTING!!! we speeded down and splashed one another... haha so fun! drenched, we sat in e bus and e journey was 1.5h long... so cold! brrr...
10.00am : we had an hour of free time and we took e time to take some last minute photos...(i will add e photos when i have downloaded them) play and play again... i tink ms Koh was veri nice, she bought us chips and jelly and marshmallows! must have spent a lot of money, sometimes, we realli take her for granted.
11.30pm : all packed up, we make our way to e train station. the people there were creepy, they were weird and teachers warned us agaist them becos they are reali desperate.
2.30am : train arrives... i fall asleep on it...
