ahhh (: today was the last day spent at church.. and yeah it was great! we went for a run in the morning.. me, eunice, bang, james and clem. hahaha. i met clem at my bus stop and i couldnt see him cos he was lying on the bench waiting for me and so i took my own sweet time to walk across the bridge and stuff and made all of us late. but it didnt matter. hahhaa. anyway. then me eunice and bang ran like 3.8 ks.. it was like totally strenuous! >.< but i had to start anyway. cross trg is starting soon!



went to church after and had service and sunday school. OMG todays topic was HOW AWKWARD! haha. it was about BGR and the thing about our class is that its so big that we're all like cliquey so we dont really share stuff with the whole class. but it would have been cool if we were that close though. oh well. but the whole thing was so funny! hahhahah. learnt things about certain pple. hehheh.


went to waffle town - an attempt to study. but then half way through the calc epw (extra piece of work) i realise i didnt understand certain stuff and i got stuck. bleagh. so i gave up and tried starting on my chem notes but then i got into such a lousy mood..


went back to church after for games.. and i felt too lazy for games. so i watched the guys play soccer instead. although i was prolly stoning half the time cos i was so tired. haha. must have been the run. and eunice was crazy enough to suggest running another round. anyway talked abit to everyone today and i took loads of photos before i left church. SARAH! i havent talked to you yet.. ): silly girl. 3 whole sundays in church and i didnt get to talk to you. blahhh. doesnt matter. 10 weeks more! then we can have a party! hahaha.


anyways. just came back from visiting the love mg people in school! diaper band was practicing for their love mg stint and they're good for beginners. they're a really enthu bunch of sec 3s. (: thats good! that they have the heart to serve and all. glad to see them so excited. haha. although not about the prata part. hahhaa. :P poor joce has to send them to eat prata for their midnight feast. when they just had my goodbye cake! ): they're so sweet. huihui got me cake! hahahha. just that i couldnt eat cos i was on a cake fast. and boy is it gonna be hard when school reopens cos we get cake EVERYDAY! i'm uber dead ): GOD GRANT ME THE STRENGTH TO RESIST!


anyway.i'm leaving in like aproximately 9 hours. (its 12.10 now btw.) and boohooo. i dont wanna wear the winter uniform. but man. school's gonna be ultra cool this term. (: quite exciting term.. :D as ive been saying.


oh well. good luck and all the best to the sec 4s who are busy mugging for midyrs! :D to the rest! stay out of trouble! james and dean.. you two ah. ahem. and kaye! ;D you take care! with your umbrella! thats the way to keep them under control! like me and my metal water bottle!! haha. (: cya everyone in july! :D

gahh. this song's stuck in my head!!! i cant get it out.


anyway. today was yet another awesome day spent with the EIGHT! woots. :D or rather 6 cos mey and minty are at chiang mai for OEP (which by the way stands for overseas education programme where they get the opportunity to fly to such cool countries for an entire week as part of their curriculum) and they only come back tmr night so there is NO way that we'll be able to meet. unfortch. but i had a fun time with the rest anyways. took neoprints and drew mey and minty in.. had loads of fun catching up with jiajia, abi, xwoox and laura.. (claire i see you TOO MUCH already la. hahhaa.) yepp. i really miss the crazy times we had in class in school. i cant believe we're all over the place! in np, ib, acjc, nafa, oz.. its like. woah ): we should have a class party IN SCHOOL one day! that would be HEEHEE. cool! esp in our dear old 4b1 class room :D although now they have those little desks for the pri school kids.. but thats alright! i'm sure we can squeeze into those miniscule one-butt-cheek chairs! hmm. although i think clara probably can fit. haa. and with miss tan and her drumstick and mr yeo.. :D oooh!! and having recess in the canteen! :D :D :D :D :D and we use to have like a WHOLE table for the 8 of us.. (plus the occasional appearance of clara and yinling when they do have recess or when they decide to sit with us.) HOW FUN WAS THAT! RARRRRHHH. i miss secondary school life. now everyone just doesnt have time ):


and HEY! i saw YOU BRYAN BONG today!!!! :D :D :D :D :D hahahah. that was hell cool! hahaha. i thought i saw someone familiar and it was YOUR DAD! funny.. and you were beside him so yeah. you should have just passed the picture to him instead of passing it to me to pass to him when i get back. but OH WELLS (:

do you ever get the feeling that when you ask for something because you really want it bad, and when you do eventually get it you find that its not as great as you expect it to be? maybe its because you expected too much and it never met your expectations. or maybe, it wasnt meant for you in the beginning.


sometimes in perth i wish i was home, and sometimes in sg i wish i was elsewhere.

Cry Out To Jesus - Third Day
To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye


And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right


There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus


For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough


For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering


When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus


To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

ahh. dilemma bilemma. bleagurrhhhhh. i cant fill up my application form becos i dont know what to write. its like i wanna write to impress yet at the same time be humble. HOW ON EARTH DO I DO THAT. i want them to think i'm witty, smart, intelligent, good at math, interested in econs, have a future as an accountant so that my chances of getting the scholarship (or even be shortlisted for the interview if possible) will be bigger, BUT I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING TO WRITE! gah.


oh well. so now i'm letting my brain take a break from thinking too much about the scholarship.


anyway. went to acjc to watch the rugby/footie match. it was quite funny cos i didnt know what the game was about and the rules of the game and how you play it and the tactics and stuff. i just watched. it was amusing how all these guys just ran after this odd shaped ball and got dirty in clay-ey mud.. it was ultimately gross. but it was fun. and boy were there heaps of people at the stand. i just miss the ac/mg school spirit. i guess thats whats so different between st marys and ac/mg. but in a way i guess i'm not really letting go and giving st marys a chance. same for church. sigh. i guess i should open myself to perth instead of holding it all up inside. so much for letting God work in me. sometimes i get so confused and wonder whats wrong with me. i'm so blessed already. i've got everything i want. everything i could ever ask for. sigh. and yet i ask God for so much more instead of being content and letting God use me instead. sometimes all i just need is to let go of my pride and exchange it for humility. but each time i try, its just too hard. maybe i cant even call it trying. cos i dont even want to try sometimes. sigh. this is hard alright.


anyway. i digress.


but i cant bother commenting on the game. maybe tmr.


cell tmr. maybe i'll get some answers. too much on my mind.

i cant believe i'm applying for a scholarship. to UNI !!!! thats hell fast. i just cant imagine myself in uni. at least not for next year. man. seems so quick. and it was just yesterday when i just got into primary school. time passes so quickly. and now i'm 17 going on 18. at least next year i'll be eighteen. NOOoo. too fast. i cant take this. and i didnt get enough play. BAh.


and i cant believe i'm getting into uni same time as the J3 girls and the J4 (if there is even a classification) guys. and i'll be going into uni before zhenyang and joel tan and bryan wong does. poofie. that feeling is just. overwhelming.


and i feel so stressed.


i cant wait for the year to be over and then i can go for youth camp. seriously. thats the ONLY thing i'm looking forward to. and then it'll be hardcore playing for 3 whole months. and then i'm going away. again. sigh.


and all i wanted was to be a tai tai. bleaghhh.


quoting scrooge (and mind you i'm feeling a tad bit like scrooge now, old and bitter) "bah, HUMBUG!"


and bryan quek is bored. he's irritating me with so many emoticons that i wonder if he's feel emo today. probably. i feel too bad to tell him to stop it. only he'll probably find out since i'm blogging about it. HAHA.


jeannie! someone's hitting on you. LOL.


i'm bored. and i should be practicing the piece that jas gave me for i/h singing. just that.. sigh. i dont really feel like it.

today was a greatttt day! (: visited heaps of people.. and it really really really feels uber great to be home (:


went to mg in the wee hours of the morning to go for chapel. woot. it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! i so miss mg chapel. and it was cool cos the lovemg team was there to publicise for the car decals.. it was nice meeting up with them.. and the teachers. ms ho's reaction was the funniest. she was stunned for a split sec and then she started to smile this hee-uge grin. yep. was definitely glad to be back in mg. i miss our culture, our values, the friendships, the teachers, and the stress of it but the fun that came out of it cos we were all in this big happy family together. ahh. sweet memories. i cant believe 10 years of mg went and is gone like that. bleah. but at least i still have the happy memories (:


then i had to leave COS of my stupid dental appt, where the doc refused to have my braces removed. gah. i was so hoping for my braces to go by this term break. but NOooo. she just had to let me suffer for ANOTHER term. oh well. i better put my lackeys on this round. otherwise it's never going to come off.


met heaps of people at ac after. and then bang, james, maurice bryan q, and me all went out for dinner after at holland v. and i felt quite bad cos they have a gp test tmr but oh well. it was fun anws. claire chong! second time you PANG SEH me ah.

yes! i'm home. i feel awesome. though a little tired.. havent had a proper sleep since sat night. haha. but i'm loving it!


touched down at 8.50 ytd, and when i got out of the arrival gate i saw these 3 idiots (dean, james and prash) laughing and pointing at me. but it was great to see everyone - abi, mey, weixin, claire, sam, dean, james, prash, ken lee, joseph. went for the sleepover after that. though i kinda regret it now. stupid dean for suggesting.i didnt get to sleep till 3.45am and we had to get up at like 4 to arrange chairs. thankfully the BB boys did it for us. so i could get some sleep for another 2 hours before having to drag myself from jon wong's sleeping bag and cheryl's nice soft pillow. bah. sunrise svc was really really cool tho. (although i felt really lethargic during the svc and i didnt really pay attention to the sermon) it was really pretty seeing the sun rise and remembering that Jesus rose again on easter sunday. it was really really beautiful.


8.30 youth just felt so good. it was just awesome to be feeling right at home and back with my friends and stuff. i just couldnt stop smiling inside. (although i was also cringing at my sticky disgusting self which really really needed a cold shower) went out for lunch with heaps of people.. kaye, maurice, bang, beng, prash, dean, joseph, ken.. (SEE CLAIRE! you are missing out!) and then they started talking about their band. haii. if only they would just commit the whole problem to God before they actually start talking about it. in a way going to aust was really good for my spiritual growth - it taught me to depend more on God instead of on myself to make things better than the crap it is sometimes. and it always feels so good to just leave everything in his hands to solve it. and yeah guys. keep praying about it and listen to what everyone has to say and improve on it. everyone has important points and just work out your differences and you'll be okay. (: trust God. and he'll do all the work.


anyway. then i met bryan and his bald head. hehe.. it was nice catching up with him since i havent seen him or heard from him in a while. although i must say maurice and prash and ken were being such irritants who kept clearing their throats to remind me of the time. so i couldnt help being my violent self and i threw my sleeping bag at the nearest guy which happened to be maurice. ahh. it was so silly. but it was nice talking to bryan.. i guess we're kinda both in the same boat. thrown into another country which is so foreign and having to cope with it. but in a way its a testing from God as well. to remind us to keep looking toward him for help. yeah. its been a great term. and God has shown me so much. its been good for me.


fell asleep during games though. and i woke up grumpy. haha. then i kept whining at dean to go home. i must have been pretty irritating eh. oh well thats what you get for lack of sleep :/ and dean. thanks for going home on the bus with me. although the bus uncle was freaking an irritant. he didnt give me a ticket. thank God that the bus attendant didnt come up otherwise i'd DIE. seriously.


so now i'm here at my grandparents house. and i dont really feel like talking cos i'm grumpy.. i just want to sleep. and i'm going to die in this weather. its too hot and I CANT TAKE IT! O.o how humid can it get? sometimes i'm just so thankful for going to perth to study. heehee. i love the cold cold weather in WA. wahoo. okayokay. this is an ultra long entry. i should stop before you all get bored reading my blog.

this weekend was spectacular. haha. my mom came down to perth on friday, it was quite good it see her, just that sometimes i get a bit frustrated when we dont see eye to eye and then i get grumpy, but after a while i get cheery again and then everything is okay. its just that sometimes we both want our way (even if hers makes more sense and is more practical) and end up quarrelling for a bit, but i must say my mom's patience grew alot from before, so we at least can talk better now. and i'm glad that we do. talked to her for a long while about stuff on friday night.. which was good cos we caught up abit. we kinda decided that i was going to try out for the scholarship to accounting school at sydney for uni. which is good cos my aunt is there and she can look after me as well. to those people in melb, if i do get in, at least i'm closer now than before! ahahha. so yeah (: then when there's a long weekend then i can maybe drive down (when i do ever get my lisence) or take a train down or something to go and see you guys.. cool?


then on sat we went shopping. got heaps of stuff for myself from harbourtown, and we spent alot of money! the shopping was good though, cos they were having a bit of a sale, and getting rid of summer stock, so i got stuff for quite cheap.. i got a scarf, trackkie bottoms, a sweater, new slippers, skirt and earrings, while my mom got herself a sweater and some nice shoes. and that was quite an injection to perth's economy ay. but according to the 5-sector circular flow model, we'll eventually get our money back. hopefully.


we bused to church on sunday. it was quite funny, cos it was the first time i bused to church so i didnt know how to get there from the city; only knew how to get from church to the city. well, it wasnt that hard after all - its just the reverse. thankfully, we got to church relatively early (i didnt really want to disappoint God and ps Daniel, because he spoke to us last sunday abt it) and the sermon was really good. this american pastor shared her life testimony, and how God uses each of us to bless others and in return he blesses you as well. and i learnt lots of stuff. and that day was a happy day. we went to visit aunty amy and alissa, amelyn and amanda after, and it was great catching up with them. i havent really seen them in a really long while. and all this time at perth, i didnt even visit them. how strange.


anyway. the night was the funniest part tho. we got lost while trying to figure out how to come back to school, cos from the stirling train station we took a bus to karrinyup road (which is a really really long road) and it made a different turn from where we were supposed to go, just that we didnt know. and we got confused. and we got stranded. but Thank God for modern technology. i called for a cab and i got back to school safe and sound.


school today. was great. i cant believe term is ending already. it just seemed like ytd when term just started. results for cross country came out today, and i'm happy. 11th place in my yr, and i got into the cross team! :D training starts next term.. and there are so many things to do before school closes. i've got my english assignment due, i've got to clean and clear up stuff in my room, pack stuff to bring home, clear my locker, get my winter uniform, buy timtams for ms tan, and GUESS WHAT! its the HALE BALL tmr! hip hurray. its exciting ay. i love getting ready and looking pretty.. haha. or maybe some of you will say, TRYING to look pretty. but all the same, its fun (: i cant wait..


ah well. i shall enjoy whats left of my time in perth (: and in 5 days time, I'M HOME! (:

i was sitting around a table of year 12ves today during the easter dinner in the boarding house, and my eyes were opened the vast difference in the culture of our two different countries. australia - a more open society, where stories of teenage sex and drugs are as common as table salt, while singapore, although hearing about the occasional scandal, is more conservative and held back about openly disclosing his/her physical relationship with the opposite gender. although the table of 12ves was of a multicultural lot, with indonesians, south africans, thai, singaporeans, and of course aussies, they were still joinning in the conversation and happily chatting about their sexual experiences with their counterparts. and i was of course astonished (partly because i dont eat with the yr 12 boarders during meal times) to hear all these gossips. i wasnt really pay attention what they were saying at first (i was concentrating on my tangerine cheesecake) then suddenly someone exclaimed, "OH MY GOD, he's like your f**k partner!" in reply to the aussie who was relating her story on her latest fling to the rest of the table. i blinked in surprise, not because of the vulgarities, but because it was unbelievable to even suggest that that was even possible. of course, i then realised that things like these were normal over here (as the drug dealing incident) and i just wasnt exposed to it before, thats why i was stunned. after about an hour of thinking, i went back to my cardboard tasting cheesecake. (trust me, it was THAT BAD - the food i mean)


this incident led me to think about the way we choose to lead our lives. in a way, we all tend to want to impress and have others to look up to us, because we all have our pride. the decisions and choices that we make; they all show others what kind of person we actually are. and this can either go two ways, firstly, people think that we're cool and we become their role models and recieve their praise - which of course, is what we all want and desire for. on the otherhand, you would reflect a negative impression on others. sadly, especially so with the younger kids, people tend to follow blindly without stopping to think, just because everyone else is doing it and hence i should follow. not that i'm saying that you people have loose morals, its just that maybe you guys should reevaluate what values are important thats all. unfortunately, the media is not doing anything to salvage the situation but instead they are spurring these kids on. no, not that i'm saying that watching the OC is bad, because i do love watching the OC, its just people should be more discerning to whats morally correct and if you are able to say that i'm not disappointing myself (not forgetting parents and all those who love you).


anyway, enough of that, before i get thrashed by people who are against what i have to say.. its almost the school holidays eh? cant wait for it to come, just another 1 more week and a few days more and i'll be home! not that i'll be able to have hardcore play time or anything, i have exams 4 weeks into next term! i'm so gonna die.. ): have so much to study, especially chemistry and econs. we had an exhausting lesson during chemistry today. i still dont understand the difference between dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces, even after having andrea try to explain them to me. i dont see how we cant just use forces of attraction to describe the forces holding simple covalent molecules together. who knew chemistry was so brain damaging? but i guess i enjoy depleting my brain cells, so all is well.


how exciting - my mom's coming up tmr. which reminds me of how i havent seen everyone in such a long time.. dont gasp when you see how much fatter i've grown. i cant believe coming here has made my pant size increase! and oh my gosh, what will happen to me in winter? this isnt good at all. bah.


i should stop lazing around.

(i actually wrote a really good entry but then for some reason or other i got signed out of blogger and now i have to use the recover post button to revive my entry and only half of it was saved. HENCE, now my thought proccess is really disrupted and i'll try my best to fill in what they didnt save - which is gonna be really difficult. gahs.)


so many things happened today.. ran this morning with esha and we had a good catchup.. havent talked that much since the last beach trip ): which was actually quite long ago and we cant go to the beach anymore because the weather now is too cold. bahh. its like freezing now. everyone's got both their jumpers and blazers on. and guess what i wore to school today. i just wore the pe polo and shorts to school because i had my first pe lesson today. :D (we went SAILING at mill point! cool eh! :D compared to what you guys at acjc are doing now.. tough luck to you guys! heehee. no army drills for me. wahaha.) and boy was i freezing. we couldnt wear the leavers one with the PE uniform and i didnt buy the sports jumper and i forgot that we could wear the sports jacket, SO.. i was cold the whole day. at least until interhouse cross during lunch.. i was warmed up pretty much under the HOT sun. (strange climate here. as long as you're in the sun you dont feel cold although its bad for your skin because you could get skin cancer if you're not careful) though i thought i was going to faint because of the lack of food i ate in the whole day (i didnt have breakfast or recess and i/h was DURING lunch) but i managed to survive (amazingly) the whole 2km and proceeded to stuff my face after with half an ice lolly and 2 and a half sandwiches. good eh. :D


and the top headlines of this term? well, a year 9 (thats like, 14 yrs old) was expelled and another suspended from school. why? because they were silly enough to deal drugs (weed) in school. and COME ON! they were ONLY year 9s.. -sighs- i feel disappointed knowing that they would actually do such a thing, but apparently over here its no biggie that these are happening. i wonder if they're actually ignorant of the consequences that this incident could bring or if they dont care or if they are looking for attention, be it in the right crowd or not. ridiculously, i overheard a yr 9 boarder complaining about how dreadful it was that her friend (the expulsed) recieve such punishment and she was actually crying over it. if i were her, i would be crying too, but not because of my friend leaving me alone in this school, its because i feel mortified that my friend would actually be doing this sort of thing without me trying to stop her before all this could happened. she also mentioned how her teacher sent her out of class for trying to defend her friend, which i thought the teacher should have try to explain the possible dire consequences this could bring to her friend in future, instead of immediately blaring at her which resulted in the poor boarder wanting to oppose the teacher's originally good intention of trying to educate her on the apropriateness of drug dealing at such a young age, or even at all. but who are we to judge?


my food for thought? all the more we should try to nuture and encourage the younger ones because the next lot of younger kids will be looking up to these current ones in the near future. and instead of berating them on the right way to living life, we should teach them about values and morals leaving them to think and set standards for themselves. as ps daniel said (as well as the guys who spoke on KODOH) the best way to reach out to any individual is by building and cultivating relationships. only then do they open their hearts and ears to what we have to tell them. and they might end up listening to our advice because they trust us enough. but at the same time also remember that the person at work here isnt you, it's God because his hand is in the situation, blessing you so that you can in turn bless your friends and family. be humble with what God has given you, because God can easily take it away as easily as he gave it to you if you choose to abuse His gift.

powerhouse on friday was really awesome.. i mean it was like the first time i've actually been to a healing svc after hearing about it for so long and Reverend Teo from malaysia came to preach and heal... and like there was this really freaky moment where someone started crying out in tongues as if some demon was inside her and everyone was just really quiet and stunned. or at least i was. it was scary. really scary. i felt really hesitant about going up forward to get healed, but i ended up going in front cos flic encouraged me i was praying really really hard then.. and i just felt like God was telling me to let everything go but i didnt want to. even when Rev Teo came up to me i still felt like i shouldnt be there. when she lay her hands on me i started rocking back and forth trying to resist, but in the end i gave in and suddenly everything just felt light and before i knew it, i was lying down on the floor. it was strange to know that everything was suddenly so calm compared to before when my brain was just so heavy and clouded (and the funny thing was that i didnt even know what i was thinking about.). so that was an experience.


sat was april's birthday and we went to northbridge for karaoke. just reminded me of the time when the 8 went to kbox after the last prelim (was it?) paper.. and i just felt a wave of homesickness there. i miss the 8 so much. ): had like a major overdose of bubble tea though. i bought 2 cups for myself and drank some of april's and lisa's and i was really full so i decided to not have dinner with them and head back for home/hui's house cos it was really starting to get dark and i was scared that there wont be any bus service so i ran all the way along william st from north bridge thinking i'd get to the bus port at the end of the road but guess what, it was the train station! so i decided to call ernest to see if he could come pick me up instead. (HEH HEH. i felt too lazy to walk to the bus port anyways and i was barefoot cos my shoes were too painful to walk in. and the bus wasnt gonna come for another half hour) so ernest kindly came and picked me up and drove me back to his house where i got msn for a bit. (HURRAY!) then me and his house mates went for dinner where i stuffed myself silly until i couldnt walk (i only had like a bowl of hor fun!) and i got a bit of advice for what course to pick up for uni, which was wayyy cool..


had hui's birthday party today and was helping her set up stuff and all so i didnt get to go to the sch fair.. ): but its okay. (: i had fun anyways.. we had WHITE GOLD MUDCAKE! kita! your cake! the very same one. :D yummm. i had like ONE slice guys! i wasnt binge eating on cake like i always do in school.. HEHHEH. so that was good. thought the cake was really rich tho.
