human feelings are a complex thing that is so dynamic and ever-changing. i'm a living example. in the morning, i was irritated with my dad telling me how mass comm isn't as good as accountancy. gosh, i've heard it a million times frm him. it's the same old story and rationale for them encouraging me to take accountancy. for goodness sake, i already am in accountancy and i'm not planning to take mass comm! ahhhh..... i almost suffocated in the car seat having to hear this yet again. God bless my eardrums. usually i take a stance to support mass comm and that choice of study shouldn't be for practical commercial-value reasons but for the essence of personal learning. funny how i believe in all these but yet i took accountancy in the beginning with not much personal enthusiasm. but whatever it is, the debate with my dad lasted until i reached CS block (thank goodness it only started at the junction before NTU, so it wasn't such a long long ride, tho i would hope it was much shorter)
along came my work with photoshop. again. bleah. i hate it! so here's the mix of feelings. altho my 'dream' is to take comm studies, but everytime i do those tedious work in CS, i really see no point to all those detailed work that takes hours at one go just to achieve something that looks a teeny weeny bit different from the original. that's when i really hate CS and am totally averse to it. yucks! how can someone sit in front of a computer all day just to do some menial job editing? i'm only doing pictures. how about those doing videos or sound editing? gosh, it's so inefficient! knowing the impatient side of me, i can't take it when we keep editing some minor thing that doesn't seem to make a difference because it is impossible (or at least unachieveable to a person who isn't trained in such photoshop or whatever stuff) and i thot we were done with all the photoshop issues. they keep diggin up new things to do with photoshop when we have already settled and accepted whatever that was done.
bleah, my mood is horrible now and i hope meeting the ruggrats will make my day. supposed to drop by sim lim again to change my thumb drive, but i'm not sure if i can make it now. then again, should i even go? was the problem i experienced with my sleek looking thumb drive a real prob or just my com? i really like how it looks, but really, looks are deceiving. it doesn't really match up in features. hurmph, too bad i'm not able to afford the sony, imation or iomega version that looks all-so-cool. but anyway thanks qinlei for accompanying me there! if you weren't there, i'd probably be lost at sim lim tower, haven't even reach sim lim square. hohoho...

haven't been blogging for ages. just had enuff of computers. anyway christmas was ok. finally got transferred frm the chinese to english congregation. it's been 5years since i was baptised. guess chinese congregation was just for my grandparents to witness the baptism. totally no connection with the chinese congregation. so together with uncle richard and another thai guy, we were transferred. yeah! oh that also means i've gotta attend EOGM next time. bleah..
haven't been moving my muscles throughout the entire holiday. i'm turning into a blob of fats, full of lethargy. esp my ever growing belly. yucks!
went to kbox with my uncle, aunt, grandma and mom yesterday. gosh, it was all the oldies! hahah.. not like i'm an avid singer, but i can recall tunes in my head. so it was a session of learning oldies and having my goosebumps stand at the sight of the awful so called mtvs. who would ever wanna take a mtv with a couple posing around the ancient village in sentosa?? check out those fake 'ooo look into my eyes' type of face. hahaha hilarious! i'll go for original mtvs anytime. but yeah, my mom's side of the family loves to sing. it's a common thing they do. so the boys just go gaming in the meantime. and i'm stuck (again). ron suggested that i pick up counter strike so that i can join em. hahhaah that's a big joke man. how can i play cs? i'm so retarded when it comes to such strategy computer games. well, for now. i don't mind sitting in the room and laughing at those ugly mtvs..

computers slice both ways. it can make your life a breeze, and at the same time wreck it just cause we're all so dependent on it. unless you're a real urban hermit, it's unlikely that you don't need some IT in your life. for tech idiots like me (IT for dummies totally don't help) anytime your 'trustie' computer burns, you're suffering frm worse burns than the comp. i'm already having 3rd degree burns frm being stripped of a working computer. what i'm having now is a totally substandard one. i just bought the comp like less than a yr ago. darn compaq!
the other day, my mom was mentioning that she saw this sony robot on tv (whatever name it's called) and it could move almost like a human! call it some big step in human invention, but the truth is it's also a sign that we're a step closer to having robots so human like that bicentenial man might not be fiction anymore. scary thought. i wouldn't wanna interact with a robot in that manner. i'm old fashioned in this sense. i like real human contact.

went to evan's granny's wake yesterday with uncle richard and my dad. ellie, i really admire your gramps. he's one fiercely independent senior. if i've got a hat on now, i'll tip it to him (too bad i'm not into hats. i look odd in it) uncle richard's still driving at his age (think he's 80), taking photos, looking after himself and reading the Bible without any glasses!!! and little hannah mok treats uncle richard as a gd friend. hahha ain't it so cute?

thought of my jc mates when i was listening to the cd wei kit burned for me on my way to sch today. really wonder how everyone's doing. guess we were not exactly a very close knit bunch. weiliang, lyris, joce, zhimin, ruth, jac, wei kit, wai mun. ruth's back, so it'll be nice to catch up with the whole lot together. ruth, so msg me when u're free k? i bet everyone's queuing up to go out with u since u're back frm aussie. hahah.. and don't tell me you're getting fat again. u always look the same anyway. hee..

have been wanting to post pictures on the blog. but knowing my very limited knowledge of tech stuff, i doubt it'll be up. oh well, i'll just stick to the traditional way of having them in copies for my album. it's more nostalgic this way also. can't imagine myself having to 'flip' my album on a computer. seems so harsh and unpersonal. till i figure out how to do web hosting for photos, my blog is entirely words. boring rite.
it's back to work soon. bleah. i hope stella's pretest goes fine and i didn't ruin anything for her. ops..

it's been tiring the past couple of days. learnt how to use photoshop when i was editing stuff for stella. taught by louis. he's kinda irritating at times, but ok lah. attention seeker, so he can get on ppl's nerves a bit. his saving grace is tt he taught me photoshop. haha, i sound so practical.
anyway just watched band aid twenty's "do they know it's christmas" nice song with a star studded band. what's more touching is the purpose for this band aid twenty formation. doing something for the famine in ethiopia. we live in such an unbalanced world. some countries are fighting the battle against the flabs, while others are fight the war on malnutrition and famine. it's a sorrowful state that our world is so unfair. it kind of boils down to where you were born into. if you're living in upstate manhattan or paris, good for you. but what if you're born in the rural states of africa? sometimes i wonder why God allows such things to happen. it's definitely for a purpose. the question is what purpose is it? a lesson for the world? a punishment for the wrongs done by their forefathers? we won't actually know till we ask God personally.
i'm not really all that garang, but sometimes i do have off the track dreams. serving as a youth on dulos, travelling to africa to help build schools. some of my dreams. wonder if i'll ever muster the courage to step out of my comfort zone to get there now. it's ok, i'm contented to have them rest in my mind as an illusive dream.

camp was fabulous. the camp comm was great! boy it's really nice to be a camper. refreshing change. God was great. He held the clouds and provided the sun and nice weather. but my lousy skin didn't pick up any tan. sorry me. sorta got used to it (altho i hate to admit tt i can never get a sunburn)
my grp was interesting. had a nice time talking to charles and druce. finally signs of druce growing up. probably he has already grown up, just tt we never realized it till now. or at least for me. charles is a smart ass. very mature for his age. but what strikes me most is his understanding of profound truths even when he ain't from a christian family. amazing eh?
well bday fell during camp and as expected i got dunked. actually i didn't really expect it to come cuz it happened at night, and i thought i was gonna be spared of any tricks. haha.. but silly me didn't realize tt as long as the day hadn't ended, there was still a chance of being tua. kena dunked into the salty waters of sentosa and ate the super delicious cake in my wet clothes. anyway, thanks to everyone man! esp pkg and the girls. *muack* i'm still trying to fit into the sandals. but chances are tt i can't make any progress making my feet smaller, so i've gotta change the size soon. nonetheless, thanks peeps!
i'm a total wuss when it comes to night trails. my biggest fears combined: to be alone in the dark, and it's in the forrest. oh man! i was already freaked out before it all started. pride got the better of me and i thought i might as well give it a shot to overcome my fear. so i went unpaired down tt scary trail. eee... goosebumps... way before the trail, i already had some little taste of being in the dark. was in the toilet bathing with the girls just before midnight. we were happily bathing and chatting when THE LIGHTS WENT OFF! shiwei and i just screamed our lungs out. ahh, how to bathe in the dark?? what happened? hurriedly try to wash any soap off and got out of the toilet asap. never in my life have i bathed so quickly. hair still damp with some conditioner and dashed out. conclusion: don't bathe at the toilet near tanjong beach after midnight, lights are off automatically.
back to night trail. by the middle of the stretch, i was almost a wreck. this sounds so silly and lousy, but i almost cried. luckily i was so slow in walking that ivan caught up with me. with my new night walk mate, we stumbled our way down. in the midst, we bumped into each other and also the stupid rubbish bin that was right smack in our paths. don't ever ever walk the dragon trail at night. it really gives you the creeps. you can see those white fake bones sticking out of the ground. esp the skull and ribcage. gross. when we came to the skull, ivan and i stopped momentarily. staring at it and stuck to the ground. for that split second i almost ran forward at 100km/h. eks!
night trail really made me think abt how much i relied on God. suye offered to pray for me before i started. but i was so caught up with my fear that i wanted to get it over and done with quickly. didn't pray with her then. my first mistake. down the path, all my mind was thinking of was "shit, why did i let myself do this?", "how on earth am i gonna finish this?", "what the??!! how come the journey takes so long? longer than the 15mins we were told" you get the idea. should have prayed and covered my ears to listen to my humming of praise songs. my second mistake. i've got vivid imagination, so it was so easy to picture a thousand things in my mind. instead of keeping my mind focused on God's help to lead me out, i fed my mind with those stupid thoughts. my thrid mistake.
i was so awed at my brother's comment for the night trail. he's also afraid of the dark, but it's the most memorable thing for him throughout the camp. he keeps saying how happy he is to know that God gave all of us night vision to help us get out of such lightless situations. he totally enjoyed it even though he completed half of the thing all alone (after cx3 left him halfway) sometimes the greatest lessons and enlightenment come from people you least expect. but i'm really happy my brother enjoyed the camp and learnt from these experiences. hope he finds some more friends among the older guys to stay in YZ. praying for a good DGL for him.
the camp held many firsts for me. first time setting up a tent (could hav done it in crescent but i can't rem, so i'll just take this as my first) first time walking alone in the dark (my own mini lifetime achievement award). first time getting scratches and blisters just for playing beach volley and beach touch at palawan. now my feet are in a sorry state. blisters, scratch marks etc. never used to have such serious consequences from playing at the beach. goes to show how coarse the sand at palawan is. not sure how i got my bruises on my leg either. hmm.. funny.
end of the day, camp was fun. zargo, iera, quigma & chee chee wa wa = survivors with the Saviour.

singapore idol. interesting and exciting watch. never thought singapore would be so enthusiastic and swept over by the fever. guess singaporeans are stereotyped to be so logical and uninterested in such idol worship. still, it was a great watch.
TAUFIK'S THE MAN!! versatile like a chameleon. wacks any genre dissed in his face so well. so much better than sly. don't really fancy his style. rocker's cool but it's just that. he can't do ballads and stuff. guess yesterday's show wasn't abt the vocals anymore. no questions that each have strengths in their unique voices, it was how they moved the crowd with the performance. man, i will wanna hear taufik sing with oli. ok i'm a little whammed up with the craze like some teen (oo i'm turning 20! quite sad cuz i'm out of my 10s, but yeah another phase of life again)
kind of guilty for not attending prayer service even after david personally asked us to go. torn between watching idol and corporate prayer. guess i flipped and chose idol watching. honestly, i'd be yearning to watch idol even if i was at prayer service. God, pls don't shoot me down with lightning for saying this.
anyway, it's camp later! woohooo!! i'm so looking forward to be a camper after being in the organising committee for like 3 yrs straight. it's nice to be a camper at times. just chill and enjoy. so here it goes! gabe, ur games better be fun yah. can't wait to get a tan. pls pls pls let me be burnt. i dn mind. never had a sun burn in my life anyway.
oh so update on the europe trip. wah calling all peeps who wanna go to europe in say 2006/7? still quite tentative abt the date. wensi wants to do it with her exchange in smu, which is after i graduate. meaning i'm already working. so kind of tricky how i can take 1mth leave. it was a tossup between US and europe for xiao, but i'm so bent on europe. so ended up persuading her to take her europe exchange. so anyone wanna come along? shoestring budget trip. so chill abt the cash. i'm ultra broke too. saving up in bits, but it seems such a long way to go.

i just had to blog this. I'VE GOT MY HAVIANAS!!!! and it's a cool gold. can anyone beat tt? never imagine tt i'd wear sth like this. it's was a bday present frm two dearies: ROU AND VIEN! *MUACK MUACK* yeah so there was this little funny episode when rou came along with the slippers saying "princess, here's your golden slippers" boy, guess it was meant as a joke and we just tried for fun. hahha, it turned out to be the nicest pair there. yay!!! but i must say it's a tad expensive. kind of frivolous spending. so thanks a lot girls! i know it ain't cheap. feel kinda bad too.
met the crescent girls yest, so today i'm gonna meet my nj bunch. wensi, i'm coming soon! i won't be late. will leave after i blog this. see you raisin!
a bit of publicity: my youth camp's gonna be in sentosa frm 2-5dec. hey if you think zoukout's too cheesy and overly publicized, come for the camp! it'll be a head-banging time. a clean fun type of head-banging of course. we're leaving church on thurs at 1pm. so drop me a msg if you wanna come k? i'm going!

being disconnected frm the world is bad. my comp has been in and out of the house and it's terribly irritating for me. have to specially come to school to use the net. pathetic state. had in mind things to blog abt but i'll just skip them again. grr..
neville tan was fabulous! solid message man! too bad, he had to speak to the sermon topic. i would really wanna hear abt his life. it'll beat reading the book. oh btw, you guys should buy it. even if you're not a believer, it's a great read.
it's really funny how the same topic of marriage came up like 3 times during a week. funny how it came up when hello, i'm still in the club. hahha.. but funny lah. it's sucha distant idea. first we talked abt it during bible study, then again with pastor CH and i forgot how the 3rd time came about. it was funny hearing frm among my friends what we hope to see in the ideal other half. only have a vague idea of what i'm looking for. but eh, shan't say more. it's weird hearing this from me anyway. but for the records, i hope i don't hav the gift of celibacy. sounds so cheapening, but it's the truth. chor ing is also so worried abt tt gift. hahah... high five girl!
scarry how genesis says that the female should submit wholeheartedly to the man. i'm stubborn, so submission is a great struggle for me. i asked xian (during our bs) how can a female submit to a guy when he's a whimp? or a wo1 nang4? the unanimous reply frm all of them was, oh then do you think tt chap will even be in your choice list? hmm yah, it's true. so poor guys, you better be good. i can guarantee tt all girls will want the other half to be more superior. and with girls getting more power, it's tough to be a guy. luckily i'm not one. back to submission. gosh, what a difficult concept to grasp. seriously, end of the day we'll all submit and be tt xiao1 nu2 ren2. oh man, so difficult. nevermind, not for me a the moment.
take it easy and enjoy life first. i'm off now... buzz!
neville tan was fabulous! solid message man! too bad, he had to speak to the sermon topic. i would really wanna hear abt his life. it'll beat reading the book. oh btw, you guys should buy it. even if you're not a believer, it's a great read.
it's really funny how the same topic of marriage came up like 3 times during a week. funny how it came up when hello, i'm still in the club. hahha.. but funny lah. it's sucha distant idea. first we talked abt it during bible study, then again with pastor CH and i forgot how the 3rd time came about. it was funny hearing frm among my friends what we hope to see in the ideal other half. only have a vague idea of what i'm looking for. but eh, shan't say more. it's weird hearing this from me anyway. but for the records, i hope i don't hav the gift of celibacy. sounds so cheapening, but it's the truth. chor ing is also so worried abt tt gift. hahah... high five girl!

Wednesday, November 24
this is such an exciting day for me. first i sprained my right ankle again. think it'll go totally loose by now. everytime also kena the same ankle. how i sprained it? i was merely playing a harmless game of lazy badminton with my bros. then i didn't realise that the floor was uneven. and silly me fell and twisted my ankle. never in my life had i experienced such searing pain in my ankle. the worst sprain ever. i just jumped on my left leg, wincing and whining in pain. for a moment, i just blacked out and sat down. unable to maintain my balance in my head, it was spinning. gosh i was a wreck at tt point. sat there and tried to calm my heart as i was recovering frm the darn pain. that was my pitiful ankle in the early afternoon.
went home after badminton hoping to rest before heading for the chinese guy to rub my ankle. better not let it go untreated after i sprained it the last time. after resting and thinking of going out to the medical hall near my place, my bro screamed that he saw black smoke coming from our window. thought he was talking rubbish again so i just went to see for fun. oh boy, i've never seen black smoke billowing frm my windows before! it was black!! panicked for a moment before regaining my composure and asking everyone to get outta the house. i thot the house below us was on fire! wow, the whole lobby outside my house was smoky and we walked down the stairs (remember tt i sprained my ankle and i live on the damnned 15th and highest floor of my block!) ok so nevermind, limp down and saw my neighbours. the stairway was like a collection centre for all neighbours.
frm 15 i managed to tahan my pain all the way to the 5th floor. it got smokier, darker and way hotter. the stairway railings were hot to the touch. and by the time i got to 5th floor, i was coughing like mad. choking on the smoke. and the police screamed at us to all go back up. dammit! the thought of going back up was both for my life and tearing my ankle. but whatever, just bite my teeth and walk up! guess i was so scared and cldn't really remember the pain.
the whole thing took like the whole afternoon. the 4th floor of my blocked was seared to bits. everything was black. we all stank of smoke and our homes were smoky. like what you smell when you stand near to a heavy smoker. gross.. end of the day, i didn't get to see the chinese physician. had to meet my friend at jurong pt. the lift was stripped of the electricity. so darn it, how can i ever walk down 15 floors and back up again? thank God man, the electricity was back on just before i left home. so i took the lift wearily down and i saw the 4th floor lobby that was all tar black. it's blacker than a blangah. wah..
guess what dad said was rite. to pray and thank God that He preserved our lives. that the fire didn't occur near our floor, or we'd have to escape to the rooftop. it's this kind of brushes with real accidents that make you realise that what you see on news of burns that scare you. ok i wasn't really scared cuz the fire engine came like real fast. but i can't imagine if i lived near those levels. lesson of the day: now your drills in case of any emergency and never dump unnecessary furniture along the corridor that can catch fire. think of the possible consequences to yourself and neighbours. life's fragile. thank goodness no one was hurt (maybe some were sent to hospital for checks for inhalation of smoke)

my comp's down and it's darn irritating. it's like i'm disconnected frm the world. cant access my email, cant chat. urgh. and i've gotta come to sch to use it. darn.. had so many things to blog. guess i'll give it a miss then. bleah.
everyday's passing so quickly. the hols seem to be zooming past me and it's horrid. it's nice not to hav anything to do (apart frm stella's stuff) but so far it's nice and relaxed. so i'm waiting for next week to watch incredibles and go for camp! maybe i shld snip my hair b4 the camp. it'll be so hot at sentosa all day man. hope it's sunny and not rainy. or cloudy. i've got not much affinity with the sun tho. rain rain go away....

went for baptism class yesterdy. argh i didn't know that transferees are also required to share their testimonies. strange how come jason got away with it. ah, and we're gonna be scheduled to share em infront of the entire congregation soon! shucks.. i'll probably cower behind my testimonial and read everything verbatim. groan... pastor cheng huat didn't give me chance when i asked him if i also need to share. he just smile and said "why not? you have to share" that's the judgement. bless me God, how to speak in front of those old uncles and aunties who have already watched me grow up man?
some new word i picked up during class. koinonia=sth to do with relating to people around you. fellowship i guess. but doesn't it really ring a bell with nokia? maybe that's where their tagline connecting people came from. interesting. so koinonia sounds like koi (a jap fish) nokia! ok this is quite lame but i thot it was funny. i better stop lest i blaspheme the word of God and kena struck dead when i go out. hahah, what i always tell shiwei when she starts talking cock.
shucks, i haven't preped for bible study later on. hope my girls aren't reading this entry, or they'll stab me. haha. cute bunch of girls. they're so eager to have bs after exams that i feel so guilty for not starting it earlier becuz of exams. sorry dearies. we'll hang out later on. ok i better go now and prep the study on parables. it's interesting so you guys shld do it too.
oh this is a major announcement: neivelle (however you spell his funny name. maybe i shld ask weiliang since it was his icq nick) tan aka the iron man is coming to my church on 28nov! hey i'm opening this invitation to everyone. so yeah, drop me a msg. this is super duper cool guy who was like singapore's most wanted criminal at the age of 15 i think. got thrown into jail a couple of times before he was converted in the prison cell. read his book. it's super short but a gd read. chock, coming?? anyway it's rare that we get to hear him speak, so just come along lah. i'll ask ryan and qinlei as well. so anyway for the rest, do think abt it and come k!

i really can't wait for the hols to really start. though i've kinda given myself an unofficial break since wed. it's so tempting to just chill and relax all the way since it's a public holiday weekend. and yeah i'm so weak in my flesh. i succumb to these temptations easily. so here i am, waiting eagerly for the hols, my mind's not even on com law. bad sign cuz my law is in shambles.
and there's the champion! oh gosh, i haven't really watched much of it. and it's ending! my goodness, why does it have to end b4 the exams??? ok nvm, actually i'm juz envious of their tanned skin. maybe it's time to go sentosa. anyone?? can we play beach volley? i'm not good at it, but it's an easy way to get tan and have fun. hahah apart from swimming.

it's been a great week slacking. maybe a tad too much cuz i'm so hooked on slacking tt i can't bear the idea of hitting the books again. and it's company law, which equates to lotsa reading of absolutely long sentences that never seem to end. when you reach some rare comma, you've long forgotten what's the last phrase you juz read. kudos to all practicing and budding lawyers-t0-be (like yam yam).
great message from bernard lee (navigators chap) in church yesterday. same topic on worship, but he really captured the true essences of worship. nice! so ministered by it. at the same time, it sounded like God was picking on my little dark parts and illuminating it for me to see and feel sorry about it.
the whole duty of man in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing. Whether it is good or whether it is evil.

this is so cool! my friend's getting pregnant! hahah both herself n her husband are estatic. and so are we! this will be the 2nd baby arrival. hahha maybe it'll be nice to hav a girl since amy ong already had axios. so a girl frm amy chan would be nice! heh heh..
oh but it also means we can't go to her place so often anymore. the mommy needs some rest. bleah. but hey it's cool to see ur friends hav their kids. hahah little monsters but angels when they are happy.
when i saw her sms, i read the text again n again, thinking tt i could hav misread it. how can it be so coincidental? among's axios was juz a month old like juz a blink of an eye ago, and here we hav the second couple (who got married in the same year as amy and aurelius) having theirs as well. hahaha how funny it can be. exciting.. finally, the mpv in the tan's house will be put to use. instead of ferrying all the oldies like nat and xian. hahah ops nat, time to stick to your own little red car.
so happy (their dog) will be kinda overlooked i guess. now tt the grandparents will be cooing over the baby to come. xian, think it's going to be ur job to look after happy. anyway she loves you. so you can carry on buying those meat sticks for her. hahha..

gosh, this is going to be a terrible wk. huge premonition about tt. yest's paper was horrid, i had nothing to write for those heavy weight questions. today's worse. i woke up with a sty (however you spell it) in my eye! oh my goodness... my eyes are really the weaklings. they either get infected with bacteria or somethings juz happen to em. gosh! so now, here i am wearing my nerdy specs. probably stuck with them for the next two papers. yuck! anyway, i'm praying it miraculously disappears overnite. not asking too much by saying it be well by this afternoon. but argh, get lost you irritating little thing in my eye! i can't blink normally. bleah.. i'm going to visit my beloved doc in sch later on. by now, my record card probably only shows visits regarding this silly pathetic girl's eyes. i'm their record holder for buying most eye drops. bless me..
