Keep those digestive systems workin' /// 11:58 PM
The holidays flew past in a blur.
Didnt dare to weigh self anymore. Growing obviously fatter. Like for yesterday, ate like 5 plates of beehoon and 6-8 bowls of sharks' fin for lunch and dinner. Felt like i was on cloud nine, with my feet fluttering in the air. Heavenly!
Steamboats are always the best! Went for 3 reunion dinners this CNY and they just got my stomach expanding like a pufferfish. One is super salty but the best, the other is super healthy and tasty and the last, as usual, super nice. :) Caught up with my cousins too and i really love my aunts! They are like so lame and comical.
One really hilarious incident that occurred on the 1st day of CNY is that we went to visit the wrong house! goodness me. Upon arrival, we went to the entrance of the house and called out "Xiao gu po" and everyone turned to look out at the door. Suddenly, my aunt shouted "Wrong house" and all of us simply took off to our heels. Like how dramatic. Couldnt stop laughing. :D
Mum wasnt in the pink of health during CNY. There was one night that it got so bad i almost sent her to the hospital. She went for an x-ray and ultrasound today and the doctor said it wasnt cervival cancer (thank you Lord!) however, they had to take her blood sample as she might have lost too much blood. :(
Stayed over at Marc's house on the second night of CNY where together with his brothers, we watched "Shaolingirl" and "Norbit" during the wee hours. Norbit is sickeningly weird as we could not make sense of what language they were even speaking. Say NO to NOrbit.
Well sis' going for her Wisdom Tooth Op tmr at SGH. Having both of her lower teeth extracted and thus, going on the drip. She's scared stiff now.
Next on the list of wobbly legs will be me. Mine will be on the 23rd of Feb - one week before my mid-terms. :S
Today, mum surprised me by pulling out 2 dresses, 1 top and a bag from her shopping bags. Said that they are my birthday gifts (which btw isnt anytime near) and worse still, i didnt really like them. Also, whatever happened to her determination to control her spendings???
School has started again and im so lagging behind in my readings. Got to prioritise and spend my time wisely!
My 2009 New Year Resolutions:
1. Be a faithful disciple of Christ Jesus
2. Be a filial daughter to mum and a good example to sis

Grant me a prayer. /// 10:48 PM
Im angry at myself for being so weak.
Having a bad headache but i dont wanna miss lectures anymore! :(
Led a healthy lifestyle during the weekends! Played tennis, squash and badminton but i totally sucked at both tennis and squash. Though there was a short time where i played squash in jc, it was as if i've never played it in my entire life. Badminton wasnt good either.
Sad life.
My family has always had the blood of a sportsman running in their veins:
Dad was a marathoner who participated in many competitions and usually came first or second.
Mum
broke her sch's record for long jump.
Jean
broke her sch's record for standingboard jump.
And me?
I only know how to
break cups.
Or rather, heads - Sang
Nao Jing.
Hello to all the muscles(if any) in my body
Please do your job, thank you.
-Thank You, Lord, for the most self-sacrificial mum. -

First post in year 2009 /// 11:45 PM
School is starting tmr and as usual, im not looking forward to it. Well, who is?
The hols have been really fantastic and i feel so blessed! Will be uploading some of the pics taken pretty soon.
Well, during the hols, i have been reading a brillant book titled "Rachel Tears", which is a bibliography of a christian who was shot during the Columbine Killing many years ago, due to her faith. It's a really inspiring book which causes me to reflect on my spiritual walk with Christ.
Hmm. I've to share something which has been ringing constantly in my head for a couple of days and im going to be totally honest with myself. During the hols, i've to make some difficult decisions. One of which is the decision to balance both my social life and spend an equal amount of time at home as well. Realised that most of the time, i wasnt at home, helping with the household chores. In the end, my mum had to do the washing and the folding of clothes even after coming home from a busy day at work, and even hired people to iron the mount-everest-pile of clothes for us. oh gosh. i have been so unfilial and insensitive. :(((
Made it up to her by spending the entire day packing the room, washing the toilets and sweeping the floor, till my hands started trembling for no reason. Perhaps it's due to the overdose of detergent???
Another is to put a standstill to clubbing. Even though im not a frequent clubber,
personally i feel that places like these are not one which God wants me to be in. I used to think that it is okay for christians to club once in a while, as long as they dont do anything silly. But all i just did was to ignore the warning sign which has been flashing continuously at the back of my mind from the time i started going to these music-blasting places. It is places like these which girls
usually tend to let their guards down and even good guys
may relax their moral standards. Having
experience the temptations of a night life, i realised that my relationship with God will deterioriate if i do not put a complete stop to it. I really really enjoy dancing and last week, i almost succumbed to temptation. However, im glad that on that very day itself, both my wisdom teeth started hurting again and it made me realise that the pain was actually a reminder sent by God to give me another opportunity to make the right decision. :)
This year, i've decided to commit myself to walk the talk. Youth's election was yesterday and I have decided to step down from my previous responsibilities. Have prayed hard about it and i feel that this year, God wants me to spend more time serving in the music ministry instead.
Dear Lord, i trust in You. I trust that You will equip me with the wisdom and knowledge especially when building Your kingdom. Also, teach me to be contented. May everything I do, glorify You. :)-Thank You, Lord, for Nicholas' O level results :) -
