whee... 4 days of holidays!..

had a jc class dinner on friday night at Seoul garden followed by sleepover at Pom's house
hm it s the usual people again.. turn out for the guys is awesome(5/8) while girls side is like 4/19?.. -_-..
nonetheless it was good food and great company... pom is a wonderful host and it s a real wonder how the guys are still as funny(read: lame) as ever... it was really as if time had never passed and we re still in JC =)... i think i might have developed some abs from laughing so hard the whole time...
anw 2 mahjong tables were promptly set up and we played mahjong till like 4am in the morning.. then we played this "-_-" card game called "in-between".. and i fell asleep on eeyore's lap 15mins into the game.. and while i was in a semi-conscious state i heard the guys telling eeyore that she ll prob need to amputate her leg after this.. but (luckily for the guys) i was too zonked out to make to make a retaliation

and i slept through the WHOLE sermon in church cos i was just so tired... ok la kinda caught the gist of it.. i ll just pay extra attention during part 2 next week =p..

went to shop last min for new yr clothes... didnt find any but bought a nice yellow top for school that was on sale! i love sales =)
haha poor eeyore was so tired.. yet i didnt want to go home yet and dragged her ard PS till there were no more shops left open for us to go into
reminds me of Goob from Meet the Robinsons

Stuck:
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you

im supposed to be studying for dph test on friday....
but yea..

so much for cabbing home... to surf the net and blog (abt mundane stuff)!

by the way im horrified at the rate im squandering my money on cabs..
since monday.. i have spent a grand total of 53 bucks on cab.. -_-..
i have been leaving the lab at like 11pm every night n cabbing home...
n on tues morning.. just cos i didnt feel like going to school.... didnt feel like walking all the way out to take a bus... didnt feel like standing squashed like a sardine on the bus... i took a cab..
n it cost a freaking 23bucks..
trust me.. i feel immensely guilty for splurging like that.. i guess i will have to wear old clothes for new yr.. ( since the money im spending is what im supposed to use for buying new yr clothes!)
and thankfully neither my parents nor my grandma will be reading this..

anw i was just surfing ard n reading various blogs.. and it just struck me that everyone's lives is so different - pursuing diverse dreams, having different worries and difficulties, having different kinds of friends and hanging out at different places ...
and somehow i just felt struck with a bolt of blue.. (or is that a green shade of envy )
like im missing out on some things in life..
i see photos and i wish im inside some of them (no it s not that im a camwhore -_-)
i read testimonies and i wish im included in them..
yadayada
and then for some friends.. you wish you dont need to read their blog to find out how they are doing.. you wish you can have a firsthand account... you wish you're a closer part of their lives..

oh well.. i guess we cant all be everywhere for everyone at every one time

ok i ve a confession to make... i feel so bad every time i think back abt it..
i think i was being really mean.. to this REALLY mean person who s also self centred and terrible and despicable...
ok anw i think i had no right to say what i ve said or to imply what i was implying.. it s not like im perfect or beyond reproach myself...
i think i ll find a chance to apologise to him.. (even though he didnt seem to have comprehended the implication behind my words.. or seem the least bit affected..)

anw this totally reminded me of John 8
""Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." when Jesus was speaking to the crowd when the question was raised as to whether or not to stone an adulterous woman to death


it s in your eyes

(somehow this kylie minogue song is stuck in my head...haha added in for blog effects..)

hmm i have a real urge to try baking pineapple tarts... but it really seem like it needs a lot of work..(it really does) n currently im feeling q drained from sch... but but but the pineapples sitting near brownie's house, given by some neighbours, seem to be calling out to me..

like even for cg refreshments tmr.. i wasnt feeling too enthusiastic abt it...where i usu feel quite happy preparing food for my beloved friends..
but anw the most difficult part is over.. that is finding a recipe that s viable and within budget n should accomodate to most ppl s taste, though curiously not mine...
ham and potato soup... hmm im not a soup person.. esp not creamy soup.. n not a potato person too.. haha.. now u (my wonderful readers who are not tagging on my pathetic tagboard) must be wondering why im making it right... ok cos it s viable n within budget...
n im not..NOT! looking forward to dealing with the potatoes tmr.... (read the earlier post..)

right now im wondering if i should sleep early to prepare the pineapple jam tmr..
but i have not bathed... actually i have not left my place on the couch since i stepped home at abt 10.30pm.. n i ate macs for dinner too.. supper to be more exact...
im rambling again

i cant believe i lugged home abt 1.5litres of chicken broth, 1 kg potatoes...200g ham.. and 2. something kg of timothy hay pellets and 800g of "cumi indoor nature" supplementary food... along with my 2kg laptop.. and my macs dinner...and my bag (rambling rambling rambling)

anw i was just thinking at the petshop today when i was buying food... that whenever im in a busy period n kind of neglect brownie .. that s when i splurge the most on his food, no matter how broke i am.. like buying those supplementary food with high nutritional contents... dried pineapple cubes... raspberry biscuits n various other snacks..
reminded me of what we used to write in chinese or gp essays about parents making up for their absence at home by spoiling the kids with lotsa pocket money n material stuff..

last night i finally sat down to plan how im going to complete my schedule for the rest of the term n also complete my patients' treatments... n the reality check was ... petrifying..
i couldnt get to sleep after that..
sigh...

i just gotta do my best i guess... n let God do the rest...

i think i blog about the pettiest things anyone can think of... haha
(no wonder no tags.... - _ - ) sorry guys but my life is pretty much like i dont have one

on second thoughts... that s not really really true since technically i did did some shopping on sunday and tues and went out for supper on wed...

im so happy with this green cardigan i bought at a GG>5 outlet store at this ulu shopping centre(i forgot its name) in chinatown which ws brought me to.. the colour is so nice...
n though i have absolutely nothing in my wardrobe to match it with.. i just have to buy it cos it was such a steal!.. like 70%... so i only paid 17bucks.. =)))

although i ve said this many times... that i hate the lab...
and though i always sleep in the lab (with all the acrylic powder and stone dust flying)...
i really never mean it as much as i do right now...

i hate the lab....

♥ ( 1:00 AM ) ♥


there goes first week of school... and it almost seemed like i was never on a 4wk hiatus...

it was terrible waking up every morning... somehow there s this smell in the air that makes me feel sick inside... REALLY !

Watched Seven Pounds with eve and michael today... it is really nice but sad too... MUST watch

"2 good friends are made up of 2 good forgivers"... how true

i love friday nights... love.. why cant everyday be fridays?

i bought new asics track shoes in m'sia.. and they are so pretty.. and i cant wait to go running in them.. but i cant seem to find the time to unless i go running at 11pm
ok i know there are such things in the world as "morning runs" but that dont exist in my world..( dont worry evelyn.. ppl from different planets can still be great friends =p)

by the way i really cannot remember the last time i went running... May08? *gasp*

blogging at this kind of time usu means an emo post..
but after slogging in school for one whole week...
i really crave to be snuggled up under the covers now

so tata

hmm im finding the background green increasingly nauseating...

but i still love it

yea tata

no words can describe how i feel now...


time to hit the prayer closet....

♥ ( 11:53 PM ) ♥


back from KL...
didnt really seem like i have been away though, most of what i remember of the trip is the travelling on the coach(super long!) and the time in the hotel room

i guess the thing i missed most was the time spent with evelyn in the hotel room.. talking and sharing while lying down before we drift off to sleep

and strangely the time when we went to Starbucks just an hour before we were supposed to check out of the hotel.. sitting down drinking nice coffee and playing Jenga and daidee..

dont ask me why but i feel these are the times i felt most relaxed and on a holiday mood.. just chill n relax
not rushing for time... not being in dirty crowded places...

AND i didnt get to go to the Themepark... =( = ( = (

what happened was we travelled up to Genting on the 2nd day.. but the weather was bad so many of the rides were closed.. hence it was not worth spending the money to go in..
i really wanted to cry as i stood outside the grand entrance of the themepark and had to walk away without going in... and also when we went to buy tickets for the cable car trip down Genting

i wish we have really gone to stay in Genting instead.. it ll be much more relaxing and cooling..
and there ll be not much unhappiness with regards to modes of transportation and the itinery since (yes i agree) there s not much to do in Genting anyway.. (more time to fellowship!)
so even though i wont get to shop like i did in KL(which is not much too btw), and even if it s 'much' more expensive in Genting.. i ll still opt to go Genting for a relaxing trip

oh i forgot to add one more thing that s rather unforgettable from the trip..
the terrible 1/2 hr massage i had which caused me to have bruises all along my shoulders...and on my arms and along my spine...i still feel angry thinking abt it man.. it s like paying ppl to abuse myself..- _ - i think i ll just stick to thai massage from now on

sorry if i sound so unhappy abt the trip... guess it s prob cos school is starting soon that affected my holiday mood...
but i really did have fun fellowshipping with my cellgrp mates on the trip too =)
shopping with evelyn n laughing at our indecisiveness
irritating alan and trying not to be irritated when he irritates me
making fun of sam sam(the new spendthrift in the block!)
understanding wei2 more

anw did i mention school is starting soon.....

hmm so many ppl blogged abt how 2008 was like for them... made me feel like penning down some stuff too... but that shall be for another day!.. maybe after i ve gotten down my new yr resolutions heh

♥ ( 1:08 AM ) ♥


yay.. new skin! i think it s pretty lovely (except i think i should figure out how to change the font)

anw.. it s a brand new year...
i really like the sermon ps kong did on the last service of 2008
so for those of you who missed it.. here s a really short summary off my head
so there are no bible verses quoted =p

Remember Lot's wife
who became a pillar of salt because she turned to look back as God destroyed the immoral city she used to live in

Similarly, there are 4 things we should not look back on as we step into the new year

1) Old sins - when God forgives, He forgets! trust in God's redeeming power that in Him, all things are made new. Do not feel guilty nor condemned anymore

2) Old defeats - Have you not achieved any resolutions or goals u ve set last yr? how about failures and unfulfilled dreams? do not let that hinder or hold you back this yr. All things work towards good for those who love Him and walk according to His purpose.

3) Old conflicts - For as God has forgiven us even though we re so unworthy of it, so must we forgive others... and forget as well!
it is prob quite difficult but let s pray for God to give us our Manasseh (forgetfulness) to help us do that.
Anger, hatred, bitterness you harbour may or may not harm your enemies..
but they MOST CERTAINLY will hurt you

4) Old victories - dont get complacent and rest on your laurels! =).. we should always go from glory to glory and not be satisfied with what we ve achieved already
( actually i kinda dozed off halfway through this point.. but i guess it s quite self explanatory =p)


ok i really loved it when pastor gave us all each a piece of paper where we wrote down the above 4 categories of stuff of 2008.. then we crushed the paper... threw it on the floor, stepped on it and kicked it away!
but i felt we could have used more time praying because even as i was kicking the paper away already.. i somehow didnt feel very ready to let go of some things...
guess i should continue praying abt these things and for my Manasseh =)

it s kinda a quiet countdown to 2009 for me this yr... (oh gosh is it really the new yr already?)
feels kinda surreal as i watch the fireworks on tv

anw tcc has a really nice dish "beef mozza tofu"
seems quite easy to make actually.. maybe i should try one day heh
quite a random outing today with a jepalang grp consisting of a representative each from my jc class, my uni class and my church friend
prolly a result from my impulsive smsing last night after a drop too much of vodka at timbre
which is a really nice place i must add

ok im rambling already... and i have to get out of my house in about 4 hrs time to go to KL and Genting! time to go prepare some hard boiled eggs to make sandwiches!
will be back on sat...
