the innocence of a child in heels

if u're wondering how the title came about look at the photos and u'll understand. today after service went to tm wif serene and Bjorn. went to watch inkheart. quite cool la. it's the kind of show that i like fantasy. like whatever he reads comes to life so he's called a silver tongue.y not gold. gold more valuable. after service it was like so hot so we like cabbed there la. like all of us were like sweating like mad. cos actually we wanted to eat ashton but it wasn't open so we decided to go tm cos both serene and I wanted to watch tat show. so while waiting for ashton to open we went to parkway to print photos those instant kind. yupp so after all that walking we were all sweating like pigs. the cab was so much cooler in comfort man. haha lolx he pay if not we also won't cab there. haha lolx we went to get tickets and had lunch at pasta mania. i tried some tomato base wif bacon and mushroom not bad something diff not the usual cream base la. then we went to the take photos at the foutain and the playground. haha lolx the playground was fun la. the spinning thing and the slide. i miss the swings man. deprived childhood. i still remember the old telok kuara park so fun la. the swings were good. then after tat went shopping. long time never go tm liao. got quite a lot of new and interesting shops. finally bought a really pretty top that i like from FOX and it was on discount. haha lolx so happy but sounds a bit aunty la. but i'm sure all of us wants the best price right.

cny

haha lolx just finished my reunion steamboat dinner nice. must enjoy and chill and relax during CNY cos after that is work work work and more work so must be mentally prepared. cny performance was ok la played a few notes wrong got lost a bit and it was too fast but it was ok i guess. at least it sounded melodious. i love dance. the dancers were dope man. everything went ok la. but i would much rather b less stress and just enjoy the concert and join in the bai nian competition. i want to go visiting man. cny this year i guess will b as usual but i think will be quite boring la. like no mood nothing much to do kinda thing. just eat. i'm like falling sick my voice very hoarse before i even eat anything la. wat the crap. dun care. eat then drink water lor. i think gathering with friends more fun leh. met up wif piggies at tm pizza hut after bio lecture after cny celebrations la. like crap la totally no mood man and i dun understand half the thing that she's teaching like so fast and like chimology. we just sat there like from 2- 5.30 like tat and just talk. great time of catching up. haiz i dunno how cny will b this year cos my aunty suspected dengue warded in hospital then another 1 is in thailand. for my dad's side like 2 of my aunty not coming over. so there'll be a lot less ppl. haiz

life goes on...

it's now the 2nd week of school so fast right. cny coming yay.angbaos but i dun like family gatherings. guitar is preforming for the CNY concert but 1 thing i dun like about performing arts the late rehearsals timing and u go home feeling so drained and end up achieving nothing. haha lolx i know year 2 is going to be a really challenging year. must be mentally prepared la.like the teachers are like got so much more to cover and in so little time. more test and exams. the scheme of work is really quite scary. the teachers are really serious. no play play. come into class stright away take out tutorial. no time to lose i dunno wat the future holds but i guess i just have to leave it in his hands and pray that God will give me wisdom and the strength to guide me through this period. i remembered feeling quite inspired by all the quotes la on the 1st day of school then in the end after the MSA results came out i was totally discouraged. now all my hopes are on Chem. but bio was the most stun dio one, the paper totally like huh ? maths also la. the thing i dun like about maths is so tedious so many steps then 1 step in your working wrong your answers wrong so irritating la.

there has been some changes in school this year the worst part is the timetable. my timetable has an odd and even week. like have to stay in school until like 5.30p.m. like i wanna go home la pls. so dead already still ask me to study. i think we are very blessed, all our teachers this year not bad la. all can teach quite well. mrs tan is much nicer this year and super funny with her blog and her baby photos. mr nah is still him loud as usual enthu and passionate. ms su is good she explains things well like the chiral carbon thingy i was like crystal clear man. she's going to focus on organic chem man. my favourite man. i'm like inspired by her to do well 4 Chem man. if i don't do well . i'm like letting her down. ms ong is she talks a bit slow a bit blur at times,but at least she explains wat she's doing la.she's nice and she pleasant looking. she like going fashion show everyday la always wear until so nice and her shoes are like wow. ms yeo is nice la not bad so far haven't done any tutorial with her yet. but i think J2 the bio topics more interesting. the lab sessions is quite cool like micropipette and extracting DNA. she's quite cute she sent us the email to motivate us so sweet of her la. i hope i'll b able to be more motivated to work harder this year. make use of my time to study and to have discipline to study hard and resist temptations. be focused. maintain a positive attitude towards learning and to persevere on even though it may be hard. fighting

reflections

2008 has indeed been an eventful year for me. the people that i met all have made a difference in my life and i thank them. schhol has been quite meaningful i thank god 4 putting me in SA. i still remember the days of orientation. i was quite lost cos i didn't know anybody there. had to go throught the process of making friends again like u removed from your comfort zone then have to mix with people that u're totally unfamiliar with. i'm glad that i have found friends with simliar interest. i thank God for the poeple he brought into my life. haha lolx shu ying's classic blurness and laggyness and randomness and ( feng) really brought a lot of laughter into out lives. kit's seriousness and her guai self. mrs tan favourite student. not forgetting the class service learning and the trip to the national museum learnt loads about the greek culture. not forgetting too the many concerts that i attended all enriched me in one way or another.

with regard to school life i'm just glad that i'm promoted yay. i survived 1 year of JC. i guess the highlights of the year are my trips. most memorable unforgettable. the experience was really wonderful. wat was quite painful was also PW. the sleepless night fighting the sleeping bug the stress and deadlines. i'm just glad it's all over. studies was as usual. paying attention in lectures which was really quite hard cos it's a much bigger group and very easy get restless. i guess i come to love chem even more dun like maths even more. ok with bio n econs. i kinda like cons
something diff from sci. but molecular bio is still like. bleh. taking test and exams.

with regards to CCA i guess i love my CCA man. woohoo guitar rocks. haha lolx i'm glad i had my own freedom to choose my own cca and my passion for music too. i always wanted to learn the
guitar even though i'm not very pro but still i enjoy making music. even though like the guitar concert was tiring but we had fun and it was a good time of bonding too man. the farewell too was quite hasty but in the end it still turned out ok. the jazz concert let me see any side of the guys. haha lolx

i stand in awe

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaimingIndescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to it's light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and
You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and
You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and
You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
