Calls for a Double Celebration. /// 1:18 PM

BAPTISED ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

a different but peaceful feeling. anw, Jesus was one-day old today! :)

was so darn crazy for the past two days.
i remembered on sat night, during the bus ride, some of us were singing in the shuttlebus, singing songs ranging from disney songs to hillsongs to love songs like My heart will go on, to nursery rhymes like Baa Baa Black Sheep and Red Little Indians. hee.

Carolling was fun too. the christmas spirit was really in the air, and wrapping everyone into the christmasy mood. All it lacked was a huge Santa.

sang in church yest. i think im slowly overcoming my stage fright... :D yes!

appetite increases. ate two plates of fried rice and two bowls of udong for dinner today!

went to play pool and cs today.. cs was real fun, esp the last map (cs_italy). i used to hate the map alot cuz im worst at it, but today, it got different. hoo. nice nice.

-Thank You, Lord, for christmas presents. -

Saddest Movie - Kingkong. /// 2:14 PM

the saddest movie award goes to... 'KING KONG'.

i expected it to be some thrilling 'jurassic park' kind of movie with sudden scary appearances and heart-thumping background sounds. But no. instead, i watched a three-hour show filled with suspense, gruesome scenes and love, love so great it caused me to cry. And i mean the red nose, puffy cheeks syndrome.

There's this intense overwhelming feeling that shocked me. It clinged on to me stubbornly even after the movie. It's really strange. i was lost in emotions i've never felt before. It's kind of scary.

This is the first movie which made me look like Rudolph. this might sound crazy but i cried not because King Kong or the dinosaurs died. but it's because i can somehow feel the love of King Kong for Ann. A creature like King Kong which could provide protection to an extent of sacrificing his life touched me deeply. It loves Ann so much nothing would stop it from getting closer to her. i dun know how to describe how i felt la.
anw, the captain is kind of hot! :)


Im addicted to pool!! too bad the hols are coming to an end...

-Thank You, Lord, for creating love so deep. -

My happiness is only temporary. /// 1:11 PM

Wild Wild Wet was fun. went there yest. the weather was perfect, not too sunny and it's cloudy.
there was even a santaclaus in the 'shiok river'. he tried to dunk me into the water when i was lazing on the float!! haha real cool. bought the photo taken on the 'Ulala' ride or watever it's called.. it's nice :)

i cant sing high notes anymore, ever since i had that awful sorethroat. everytime i try to reach the notes, nothing but air came out. It's damn frustrating.

looking forward to the busy week ahead. going to play cs tml and watch movie, chalet from tuesday to thursday, celebrating christmas with friends on fri, sat- carolling, sunday CHRISTMAS!!!

AND then, school starts for me again. HAIZ.

-Thank You, Lord, for the treat of a lifetime. -

I've Gone Bankrupt. /// 2:15 PM

went to Lao Pa Sat for the first time yesterday.. it's really really cool. there were many older ladies line-dancing, shaking their butts, swaying their hips, dancing to the beat. oldies songs were played throughout the whole place. it's real sweet.

i saw the most incredible thing just now. the tallest man i've ever seen in my entire life. i barely reached his shoulders. :) he's really gigantic... i wonder how he feels about his height? does he count it as a blessing or a curse???

was disgusted with a salesgirl too. when i refused to buy a skirt from the shop cuz it's too short, she kept taking my hand,and put her face in it saying ' Mai la Mai la'. it's totally sick. :~(

anw, i've gone bankrupt. went out with Esther and her family today. spent a bomb on (2 tops - $52, skirt-$39.90, a pair of jeans - forgot how much, a bag and other small little stuff). total them up and im a goner.
i've got to control myself. i've got to control myself. nvm, this will be the last time... i hope. :)

-THank You, Lord, for kind and friendly doctors. -

I've Grown NUMB. /// 11:50 AM

i realised i can't stop thinking of you. But i know that one day, i'll succeed. Soon maybe.

denim skirt. dark green shirt. 2 pairs of earrings.
for once, i found it tireless going shopping unlike the past few days.. maybe my pitiful legs have grown used to the countless hours of walking. was really thankful for all the laughter and the smiles and their presence. it made me forget things for a minute.

had a fun time watching people walk past while waiting.
long vintage skirts. halters. denim miniskirts. cut-off jeans. baggy pants. gigantic shirts which looked like those i wear to sleep. tank tops.
it's really interesting! :)

going to the doctor later.

I've grown NUMB.

NIGHTMARE. /// 1:10 PM

Perhaps the truth im trying to avoid is right in front of my face and it just hit me with a silent 'BAM'...

I Simply Cant believe It. /// 1:02 PM

ifeellikelaughingreally...
still couldnt believe what i had known...
on the surface, i pretended that it's all right, i need not care if i want to.

But to be honest, im still shocked..


what have i gotten myself into???

-THank YOu, Lord, for that beautiful white dress. -

Rejoicing n Giving. /// 12:40 PM

CHRISTMAS is coming!!! The most meaningful festival. It's a season of giving, a time of rejoicing and singing Christmas Carols. It's gonna be a significant one :)

Realised that i've grown very fond of Daniel's hamsters... they were four cute little things, the kinds which everyone would adore.
The hamster, whom i dote on the most, sad to say have only one arm. even though it lacks the use of one arm, it amazes me to see how fast it could still do daily activites... such a sweet little creature :)

i've been having a bad sorethroat for the past few days... currently preventing myself from eating fried stuff which is really hard for me. Guess i needed the healing powers of sleep to cure my throat... Or maybe not.

Just needed the healing powers of God. Hopefully, i'm still able to sing for carolling and church stuff...

-THank You, Lord, for gigantic CHRISTMAS TREES. -

Another deep thought of the day. /// 2:20 PM

i've decided to sing 'With all I am' for church during christmas cuz i feel it is really a LOVELY song. makes me think alot about my relationship with God and i wanna share it with everyone!!
i just lack in one thing, courage...

oh ya, im gonna be BAPTISED at the end of this year. yeah, another leap of faith!!!
WICKED!

read this in a book:
The world is such a crazy place. Half the population's desperately trying to find enough food to keep themselves alive, while the other half stuff their faces with all the food that should be shared around... and then they spend a fortune on diets to stop themselves from dying from obesity. It's a shame we cant feed the very fat ones to the very thin ones. :)

-Thank You, Lord, for sending Jesus Christ into this world to save us. -

With all I am. /// 3:14 PM

spent the day in Marcus' house with some classmates...

learnt how to play mahjong.. realised that it is actually quite fun, but the tactics are hard to grasp. As usual, i kept losing.. lost many rounds of mahjong, bridge also lost, table soccer also lost, dont even want to talk about the game of table tennis between Marcus and me which is damn pathetic... but nevertheless, i had a fun time today.. :)

took the train back home with Mesy just now.. tok about some of the stuff going on in our lives. were surprised that both of us were in the same situation. At least someone else knows how it is to feel in one crazy world...

-Thank You, Lord, for the song ' With all I am'. -
