Power packed weekends left me weary but grinning very widely indeed (:

It started on Friday. The mad class outing I had. 5 of us, one kbox room, endless laughter and entertainment. Finally, got to go out with the girls after missing out so much of action during my two years in NJ. It was really good to be around them, just having fun, joking around and enjoying each other's presence.

Then it was off to Secret Recipe with michelle for some indulgence (:

Dear Michie, how I truly wish that we can meet up more often. Sigh, but we have to be caught in the mundane working world that eats up our time and drains us. Boohoo. Now suddenly A levels and canoeing trainings(with mr yong) looks so much bearable than it had looked to us before. Gosh, it was definitely better having you around! Someone like you. So loving and kind, so helpful and I know that no matter what I do, you always sees the best in me and will never ever judge me.

After parting with Michelle, I did something that I haven't done in such a long time.

I took the wrong bus from Chinatown and end up futher from home. How very smart. In the end I reached home so late and the next day I woke up late for my Jap lesson. -_-" What a repercussion.

I went to have dinner/supper with Peishan at Newton Circus on saturday night after church. How cool is that! haha. We had stingray and I was quite proud of myself eating the spicy food.

To dear Peishan, you know that feat you saw that night is really very amazing for me. To not tear while consuming that stingray which is soaked in chilli, I think I'm beginning to get better. We went home after that because we couldn't think of what to do. Anyway I pointed to ps that whenever I go out with her, my clothes will stink. Not that she stinks or what but we are always going places that have smoke that will stink our clothes. Oh well, just a random thought (:

Did I say I fell in love with stingray after that night? hahas.

P6 cell on sunday was very fun and enjoyable! Those kids, they really made my day. The boys were so happy busy telling me what they had learned during service yesterday. I think they had a very good time last night. During Word, they had another very good time laughing at me after playing a trick on me. What is this thing about the food chain arrow in primary school science? Does pointing the arrow towards a subject means it's been eaten by the former subject? Or not? Anyway apparently they succeeded in confusing me but I hope everyone had fun (: Later, it was off to Mac for lunch. I really think that there is nothing else to eat except Mac when eating with the kids. They are responsible for turning me into a fast food junkie. =x

Had adult fellowship later the evening. More stingray!! Yay!(: Oh Sean, your stingray+chicken wings really rocks. I had better say that in case I am accused of being very mean to you which I am still figuring if I really am.

It was a really cool+great time of fellowship. I talked to people that I really hardly talk to and I realise that it wasn't so hard to talk to people afterall. Icebreaker was really hilarious. The soccer guys should have been there earlier! You will really have stitches from laughing at everyone. I think the best partnership goes to Jeremy and Jonathan. Both of them are really classic, they made a simple game super enjoyable.

Thank God for that evening. Blessed me a lot a lot. (: The event ended quite late and when I reached home, I knocked out. 10 hours of sleep in two days drained me. So the next day.. I woke up late for my much awaited appointment again -_-" Gosh, I am starting to see the pattern..

MONDAY! (: blading at east coast with jasmin, ps, chit and lp.

I would let the pictures do the talking. On a side note, only me and ps knew how to blade a bit, so teaching the remaining three was really hilarious and erm, FUN. HAHA.

More about that later. Ciaoz for now people! (:

What can you do on a nice saturday night besides watching a mid-night show?

Anyway, that can come later. Having class outing later at cityhall and I really can't wait! Throughout the two years of my jc life, class fellowship has always been compromise due to canoeing. Today, I'm going to have a proper class outing and I hope it turns out great. (:

Monday! Time to get some sun, and sea breeze. I just hope East Coast Park wouldn't be too crowded. Sigh, if we could afford, I would suggest we go eat seafood after that. Hahaha, I am dreaming again -_-"



hey you know drinking wouldn't solve your problem. but anyway, beer has a lousy alcohol content of 4%, you can't get drunk drinking that.
hey you know that it's time to grow up and rise up to the ocassion.
hey you know that you will have to do this alone. I did it all alone.

hey you know, you know what. you need God.

Joanne is so cute. Hahas.

I was just telling her that I should be going NTU and she asked me down for canoe polo training already. CANOE POLO! Gosh, I can't remember the last time I play the game. So as I was on my way home from work today, I thought about canoe polo.

I thought about my first canoe polo game in year one. Unforgettable game I tell you. Probably the only game I remembers. I remembered being such a klutz and totally immobile in the boat. I remembered the oversized helmet and the smelly life vest. I remembered getting scolded like mad by the seniors because I was a lousy goalie. :( I remembered the mad changeover and the salty pool water taste. Hahas. Those were the times man. (:

You know next to the basketball court in NJ, the next place where the most tempers flared and most heated arguments are exchanged, is probably the canoe polo pool in Big Splash. Let's not talk about the guys because they are always so hot-headed wherever they are(HAHA!). The canoe polo pool witnessed a lot of drama from us. Endless shoutings(from me, van and peishan), senseless whining(from those who got scolded) and mindless grumbling(from all of us). There is just so much action from everybody that it is impossible to let your guard down in the pool for a second!

I kind of miss the canoe polo games with the seniors. I don't know why. Maybe cause I miss their presence(some of them) and I miss going home with Joanne and Yihui. Hey, I really do alright. And I terribly miss canoe polo games with the girls!!!!! I miss chiteng being the super reliable goalie, peishan the irreplaceable pace-setter and van the speed boat. Hahas, there is really so much fun(and training!) during canoe polo. The more I think about it, the more I miss the game.

It was a waste that we didn't get to play in any competition in year 2. :( Somehow we couldn't. And we were just thinking it could be real fun if our girls team could take part. Yet we went through year 2 without much action from canoe polo. Aw, I would love to be on peishan's team for once! I never, ever got the chance/priviledge :( Haha peishan! we should go and play canoe polo someday. Rent the boats or something.

As I miss canoe polo, I thought that maybe the rest of the girls team wouldn't miss it as much. Haha and I thought one of the reason why they wouldn't miss the game as much is because of me. Dear girls, I hereby solemnly apologise for making your canoe polo training time unenjoyable because of my bad temper. :( thanks for putting up with me. Especially Shumin! Haha, sorry for always shouting at you man, I know I am so prone to that. Really a big, big sorry. Ha but I want to let you know that I really appreciate you for putting up with me.. (:

I miss Boujor pandan bread.. and going home with joanne, yihui and shumin. and .... just so many things. I think I got thursday blues. No wait, I think this always happen when I take long bus ride and did not fall asleep. 3 out of 5 times I will take a nap. The remaining 2 times I will start thinking about things that I don't really want to think about. Then it gets embarrassing because I have a very high tendancy to tear(badly) when I think about things that I don't want to think about.

I need to start exercising soon, the tummy is getting atrocious.

Thank God that I remembers my Katakana. (:

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves!

You know, you should really feedback to me about my posts.

This gives me more material to blog about. Because my life is boring and mundane, more material for blogging is a very good thing for me. I don't want my posts to turn out like :

Hey! Today I had a great day at work. I did what I usually does and there were a lot of patients today! Then after that I went to _______ to have a very good dinner! The waiter is super cute! Then I went home to watch vcds! Then I slept! Then I woke up for work again! Then I...

Oh man that will be really cruel. Hahas. I really don't want what I eat for dinner to be the highlight of my day. I mean, food is good but there has got to be more than this right??

I digressed.

Anyway, Charmaine was asking me about what incandescence means. Here it goes.

in·can·des·cence
1.The emission of visible light by a hot object.
2.The light emitted by an incandescent object.
3.A high degree of emotion, intensity, or brilliance

Okay okay I know option 2 is kind of meaningless. hahah. Why I chose this name because I thought about Jesus being the light of the world. I'm sure He was an incandescent light, one of intensity and brillance, and one that made everyone sees. He was so bright that He drew people to Himself. (:

I watched Eight Below on saturday. I think it's called Eight Below right? I can't really recall. Anyway that's the show about the eight sled dogs. It is generally a movie that I like because the subject of the story was the 8 siberian huskies and I am an animal-lover, so everything goes.

The researchers on the antarctica abandoned the eight dogs that saved their lives and went back to US themselves. Their devastated trainer went back there six months later to find 6 surviving dogs, much to his joy and elation. And the movie showed how the dogs survived on their own eating (poor)birds and fighting against the leopard seal.

Allow me to digress, if anyone of you could, please tell me more about leopard seal okay? I have never heard of such thing and the creature looks really disgusting and monstrous. It gave me a big shock(that kind of woke me up) when it suddenly appear of nowhere and started hissing at the poor dog. Well, it was the Antarctica.

There was team spirit among the dogs and it really warms my heart seeing them protecting each other. aww, so sweet. I think this overprotectivesness is really innate in all dogs. Take my silly chihuahua for example. I think she is the most protective living thing over me. Humans can't be bothered. HAHA, no la. Whenever anyone tries to beat me, she will do her best to bark and bite the person so as to chase her off. She can't really do much as she is so tiny in size but she wants to do it nonetheless. She has no qualms about standing up for me. (:

Okay the cute and innocent dogs aside. The human part of the show is less impressive I guess. Paul Walker is cute and all that but this seems like a low-budget film. Like Cellular. Low budget but good movie nonetheless.

He said something about 'sometimes you have to lower your expectation of people'. I couldnt help but nodded my head when he said that. There's this thing about the lower the expectation, the smaller the disappointment. People fail you all the time. I know this may sound a tad offending but it is a lot easier to be happier around my dog rather than humans. But don't get me wrong, I AM happy around my friends and my team.

Well, of course there are exceptional humans like :














Rain! Haha I can't seem to get enough of him since Full House. Bad bad bad.
But any rainy days with him seems like a sunny day.
... so cheesy I know. Haha

Okay shall crap no more! Hope everyone is having good days! (:

One thing you should never tell your patients in hospital is 'Thank you. See you again.'

They find it VERY offending. hahahas.

Oh. I heard about the controversial talk show that 10 very daring youths had with MM Lee Kuan Yew.

My conclusion is do not oppose for the sake of opposing. It makes you look ridiculously funny.

I shan't say more about the content of the dialogue but I thought the candidates should be smart enough to show due respect to MM Lee. Not because being rude is politically dangerous but because MM Lee deserves it. I heard they said something about PAP being tyranny or something.

You want to see my mother? She is THE monarchy.

Haha okay not much of a link here BUT my point is really, to not see everything in a bad light. And give thanks to God for blessing us with sensible political parties here that do not throw punches at each other literally in the parliment.

For me, I don't know much about the politics man. I don't know much at all. But whatever, GE is coming whether you like it or not. I reserved my opinion that it is going to be very interesting (:

Oh Oh! Man Utd vs Chelsea this sat.
Very interesting too.

NTU Chem engineering that's it.

FULL HOUSE (:

Cannot understand my addiction for the show? Let me tell you why.

I love funny+sweet love story like that. Bang in a good cast, great soundtrack and foreign language, you have a winner. Rain is really irresistable, Song Hye Gyo is like how pretty+cute and the two others, whom I promptly forgotten their names, are very good-looking as well. They just make the whole screen pretty, and I like to see a scene full of pretty people. I tell you after the show, you will be searching for the soundtrack. The songs are catchy(besides the fact that you don't understand what are they singing.) and they always play them at the right scenes. Now I am actually lamenting about learning Jap and not Korean! Haha, fickle-minded me.

Well, beside the superficial things..

I like the show, really. I like the progression of things. The length of show is just right, not too long and not too short. Enough to put the point across and enough for the cast's characters development. I like the progression of the relationship between Young Jae(Rain) and Ji Eun(Song Hye Gyo). From bickering accuqaintances that converse in the most rude ways to each other to a sweet couple, who is well,just plain sweet. They really make people want to fall in love (: You will see for yourself the flow of storyline, how they always argue with each other, and getting angry with the things the other party did. Slowly they will care for each other, a lot of scenes forcus on the girl waiting for the guy at home and vice versa. How they started to feel and how they started to hurt because of the other party. I really like this progression.

I like the way they tried to deny each other too. Ji Eun will try to distance herself from Young Jae because she finds herself falling for him which she knew was wrong. How she made him talk to the fridge because she didn't want to have any conversation with him. It's funny but it tugs your heart. Then the later part, Young Jae would be the one trying to deny his love for Ji Eun. He started being mean(again) to her, calling her names, telling her that she meant nothing to him. He will try to ignore her and make their relationship seems insignificant and nil. This gets a bit heart-wrenching because denying a love is always heart-wrenching.

I like the way the show tickles me. You should see how childish Young Jae gets when he is protective towards Ji Eun. The things that he did, they were so funny that they became a tad ridiculous. How he lied to Ji Eun about a ghost calling him on the phone in a bid to destroy Ji Eun's date with Min Hyun. I laughed. Or how he wanted her to pretend she is pregnant, how he showed off about their wedding photo to Min Hyun. You will laugh. They have their funny times. Those times that just want to make you go 'Bwahahah!'

I like the sweet and loving parts of the show. I like how they went for the honeymoon. Or when they clean up the house together, eat together, went to skate together. How he bought her a birthday present and how she got upset when she lost it. OH! and I absolutely love the part when they started drawing on each other hands!! (: Young Jae lost his wedding ring and Ji Eun drew one for him using marker. The next day he washed his hands meticulously because he didn't want to wash away the 'wedding ring' drawn by Ji Eun. How sweet is that, you tell me! How about the part where he gave her so many baskets of flowers to encourage her? It's so sweet that it puts a smile across your face. (: -grin widely and stupidly-

Need I say more? Great storyline, super charming cast and (my) excellent review. Are you tempted to watch it? haha, I've watched and re-watched and I will re-re-watch it until I get sick of it which I think will be a long time from now. I think memorise the lines already, hahah.
















Now everyone says ' Awwwwwwwwwwwwww' (:

Rain is sooooooooo cute lar. Haha.

Okay Shiyun will disagree. =p

DISCLAIMER : The following post is really boring and it means nothing. Nobody will want to know because the facts are uninteresting and I'm just doing this because I can THINK OF NOTHING TO WRITE. This is sorely due to the fact that my life is very boring and I haven't been doing much these days. A lack of interesting activities creates a lack of updates. This vicious cycle doesn't seem to stop and I'm getting used to it soon. SEE! The proof of a mundane life is the uncontrolled rambling and ranting in a blog.

GREAT.
but anyway.

10 (un)INTRESTING FACTS ABOUT ME!

1. I gag very easily. Like swallowing a pill or when brushing teeth. OR WHEN I SEE YEW LEEPENG. gosh, it's hard to control.

2. I really, really, really dislike eating food that requires the use of my bare hands. For example, seafood like crabs or KFC is what I will like to avoid if possible. But when I eat KFC, I will peel all the meat off the chicken first, then I will wash my hands then start eating the meat with a fork. Don't ask me why the trouble, I just like. Haha.

3. I wear my watch on the hand that I writes, which is my right hand. Never mind that the watch often gets in my way during writing. I don't have a watch now anyway. Some of you will remember me throwing it down to the ground during last year's Regatta and spoiling it. wahaha.

4. I am a rice person. Like totally. Bento over Ramen. I'm for rice as much as I'm for Coke than Pepsi.

5. Oh I like to eat rice with my chopsticks. I like using chopsticks! I don't think it's a fetish but yeah, if allowed, I only use chopsticks for my meals. When the soup comes in then it's a different thing. Haha.

6. I write like a primary six kid. Or so I am told. My friends say that my handwriting is too boring/ugly/squarish/un-professional/kiddish/neat. Okay so only the latter is actually a positive thing but HEY! What's wrong with type-written handwriting? And to my dear leaders' camp com, my handwriting is not small for goodness's sake! You all should see my captain's handwriting, I wonder how many teachers actually became short-sighted after trying to read her words. So... don't complain. Hahah.

7. I have an extremely soft spot for people crying in front of me. When I say extremely I really meant the extreme. I remember when I was in Primary Three, this clumsy classmate of mine broke her specs and she started crying. Then I also started crying(I don't know why!). In the end I cried louder then her and she was trying to console me for her damaged specs. *ahem* I would like to think of me having compassion rather than me being a crybaby. I know what you guys are going to drive at!

8. My level of adaptability is really very low. I think it correlates to my low EQ. Three months is the minimum amount of time I need to get comfortable with a new group of people or environment. Just ask my colleagues or my classmates. Hahah.

9. I am actually a very warm person despite my fierce look. REALLY! IM SERIOUS! hahaha, I can't remember the number of people that comes to me and say,'At first I thought you very fierce cause you looked so dao, but now when I got to know you then I know you full of rubbish.' Yes, I'm nice and kind. So talk to me. (:

10. I am very childish. When you hit me once, I would like to hit you back. If you don't let me hit you back, then I don't want to friend you anymore. HAHAHAHAHAHA ! :P
I mean, actually, I'm very much still a child at heart no matter how wise I try to be. It's just a false front, people! Cartoon Network is still my favourite channel and nothing beats MacDonald's Happy meal!
............. right.

Why would anyone, just anyone want to live their life without God?

Saturday, April 15, 2006

This story is so heart-wrenching, I had to cry.

At the Garden of Gethsemane, he had to cry. He had to fall on his knees and grieved. He saw what was going to happen to him, he had to ask. He had to ask God to take the cup away from him. But he had also asked for God's will to be done.

In front of Pilate, they had to judge him. He was innocent! 'Crucify him!', the crowd had to demand that. They had to choose Barabbas over him. They had to crucify him, for the truth that he spoke.

Jesus had to die so you and I can be alive. Today as we live the life that we thought was right for us, we had to forget the heart-wrenching tale about the man who gave his life for us.
Why do you deny him?

Why do people always do things that they will regret?

We agree that humans are created to have dominance over the animals and plants and everything that God gave us. Why is it that we don't seem to be very wise and competent ourselves? Is it something in our genetics that causes us to contradict ourselves all the time?

I love paradox but I dislike contradiction.

Why do we always do things that we know are wrong? We plunge into relationships that eats us away. We commit to a responsibility that is hard to fulfill. Isn't that just plain ridiculous?

Sometimes you don't know how much I want to laugh at myself.

I've got my philosophy.

Was just returning to Sophie's World and I'm already ready to take a break from the book again. Once too many times I find myself running through the paragraphs repeatedly, trying to grasp the ideas and thoughts of the various philosophers.

It is a mega brain-exhuaster.

I think it is worse than trying to do Sudoku in a noisy room, or trying to hold a proper conversation with Leepeng. I think reading this book top my list of energy draining activity(don't worry lp you are still in Top 3 :). I confessed that sometimes I really don't know what Alberto is trying to tell Sophie that I will just give up trying to understand. And after a few days of reading the book, I am finding myself going through the ideas of the philosophers again and again. It's disturbing my train of thoughts and I am finding it increasingly hard to organise what I want to say or write. This will explain the lack of updates of the blog(it is not an excuse).

Now when I am stoning, Democritus or Spinoza will come into my mind. Then I will try to refute Hume and his ideas. Dangerous book, eh?

Eugene was just telling me that I must be careful when I read philosophy books, they might shake your faith.

I guess you just have to be extra careful. Reading about Immanuel Kant and Descrates may even strengthened your faith! How very interesting...

What will be your philosophy?
