I want to be a time traveller. /// 11:16 AM

Today is officially the start of recess week since yesterday was a public holiday.

Been catching movies the past 2 weeks,
ketch-ing up with friends whom i've not seen in months
keeping fit and of course,
drowning myself in my studies as well.

On Sat morning, caught Time Traveller's Wife with Marcus. It's pretty touching especially during the last 20 seconds of the show. Helped his brother in his studies after that and met up with the usual jc clique @ walawala. I really miss those times in 2006-2007. Can we travel back time as well?

Sunday morning is devoted to church where i led in Worship and though it wasnt the first time, i still feel nervous everytime i stand behind the podium. I've to overcome my fear of stage fright. Gave tuition to Joyce after that who till now, consistently bombards me with her cold jokes. Met cheryl and gang at Cathay to catch a gory, head-slicing Inglorious Basterds which gave me goosebumps. Walked to Timbre Substation which was packed like sardines and ended up chilling at Orchard till 1 plus. By the way, the cheesecake in shokudo is yummylicious! Great time there as well:)

If anyone is down in the dumps, Proposal is joy-inducing. It can soften those tense edges and return the smile you vaguely remember:)

Well, this is random but,

I love my mum!
She's the sweetest person God has blessed me with. :)

- Thank You, Lord, for the fact that we can worship openly. -

Time away. /// 7:47 PM

JB = good food + shopping

It's my first time to Malaysia for just a day and i'd say it's a fab opportunity to relax and let down my hair esp when heaps of readings have been piling up and suffocating me.

Stats test this wednesday
Group presentation tmr morning

Note to self: Take it easy.




I send my love to you and hope that somewhere out there, at this exact moment, you're gazing at the stars and thinking of me too.

Thoughts of you constantly fill my mind /// 11:43 PM

Will be driving down to Malaysia with my godmother and her family tomorrow morning! :) Images of yummy delicacies are swimming in my mind and i can almost taste the milk in Chendol and also, the saltiness of seawater. Hmmm. Hopefully we'll have some time to relax on the beaches there as well.

Unfortunately, my godmother now wants to introduce me to her second nephew, who is the older brother of the previous person she introduced, and is supposedly coming back from Canada.

Well, that shouldnt be anytime soon.

Anyway, Facing the Giants is my all-time favourite movie!

Though it's not as thrilling as Transformers, as hilarious as White Chicks, neither is it as lovey-dovey like A Cinderella Story, nor is it as touching as A Walk to Remember,

it is life-tranforming.

Impacted my life in a way none of the movies did. :)

The giants in my life:
Lazyness, fear, possessions, priorities, Me. Im my own giant.



Bottom line:
Joy, you gotta change your philosophy of life.

Harder. /// 11:07 PM

Something interesting:

Was matchmade (past tense of matchmake??) with a 21-year-old last Friday evening.

IT WAS JUST PLAIN WEIRD.

Im not sure whether it was planned all along but somehow, the relatives got my family seated and started chatting like it was the good o days. Didnt even realise what was happening until in the midst of the conversations...

"Why dont you bring him around NUS these few days?" (cuz he is currently studying in a shanghai university for an exchange programme, though his place of residence is in canada and has taken a few days' leave to fly to singapore) Well that attempt was tried numerous times by his mum, and his dad would nod in agreement and add in a few sentences in that businesslike voice of his, encouraging him to compare the differences between the schools. Later, another kind of attempt was made. "You can learn some piano skills from him" (cuz he has like a level 10 in music or sth). Couldnt hide the smile from creeping up. What could be more obvious than that.

And everytime his dad asked me a question in his uber proficient chinese, my heart would automatically start racing and my brain juices, squeezing to pop out a few coherent chinese words, which was further accelerated by the persistent nudges of my mum sitting by my side and in the end, all that came out was either a "Shi" or a "Bu Shi". And then, i could almost feel an invisible slap across the head given by mum, who i bet, would be glaring at me from behind.

I guess it's just what adults like to do huh.



Well, but throughout the entire session, there was only one person who was in my mind the entire time. So, please dont take it to heart. <3
