This semester finds myself here, more frequent than baseline, penning down and reflecting more, despite the fact that the height of workload is soaring towards Neverland. A break from the stress perhaps?
Why does it still matter? To me?

Gummy Bears for Sale /// 11:17 PM
Just the way you are
The harmony is awesome! Reminds me of the times Wanting and I tried to harmonise to the tune of "i believe i can fly" during our jc days:) though it's something i've always found really difficult.
Thanks for cooking delectable fried rice with ham, turkey and fishball when you knew i had yet to have dinner! I'm sure my tastebuds agreed with me:)
- Thank You, Lord, for a mode of communication. -

Hang in there /// 11:27 PM
Been busy during the weekend with assignments and projects. Thankfully, it doesnt end there.
I'll let the photos do the talking.
A sunset-themed birthday
Ruiqi is her name
Psyc Majors
Fun shot of those who attended
Learnt that red wine + 7 -up = great mix
Aunt Xiu Min's wedding
Beautiful Crowne Plaza
Mummy and I
I'm sorry, but you are too irresistible
Not a fan of prawns (dont like the way their eyes are placed)
The videos featured were pretty touching :)
Besides the fact that I dont eat ducks, this doesnt make it any better
Yummylicious dessert from Imperial
I'm proud of my cousin (right) who came despite having to sit for his Os the next day
Mummy and I (Jean: I would have photoshopped you in if i have known how to)
Closest Aunt (who also happens to be my accountability partner)
A final shot with Mum before leaving
Ji-ah-hao and I
Mum insisted that we take a final shot too before leaving
:)
Anyway, Mum told me that we'll be driving out from Brisbane to Sunshine Coast to stay for a few days. Googled Sunshine Coast and findings showed that it's a realm of tranquil hinterland whereby beaches are aplenty, markets and boutiques a common sight, and it's loaded with many places of interest. Oh boy!
Note to self: if you wanna honour God with your studies, you have to get out of this temporary unmotivated state that hits you once every 2-3 days:(
- Thank You, Lord, for opportunities to serve. -

something's not... /// 9:25 PM
For fun, laughter, peace and joy:)
Hmmmm /// 9:13 PM
Sometimes, I cant help but think that my mum's expectations of me is incredibly high.
She wants me to be really understanding, to put myself in her shoes all the time. But I cant. However hard i tried, i cant.
Or have i not tried hard enough?
Dear Lord, please grant me wisdom.

Whenever A sees B, A will run.
When will A stop running?

Monday blues tmr? /// 11:08 PM
Went for a shopping spree with mum after church today and i chanced upon an opportunity to witness something new about her.
As Mum was leaving Marks and Spencer @ Centrepoint, she was lifting her hands and waving goodbye to all the sales assistants (even calling them by their names) and the store supervisor, like a superstar (no kidding). Was just standing next to her, watching this phenomenon unravel before my very eyes, and i started thinking "Has she bought that many pieces of clothing???"
What's even more astonishing is that she's even friends with the security guards of the store (one of whom she says is friendlier than the other and has advised her once before "not to buy so many clothes" upon seeing her)!
What a cutie pie!
And something which i found out today after htht with her, Mum only knew my dad for 2 days before dating him for 6 years and tying the knot thereafter.
- Thank You, Lord, quality time with Mum. -
Jam packed schedule /// 12:46 AM
The weekends of this month are packed with a trip to Night Safari to be spooked (to support Xinlei and her team of event planners), a band concert, Aunt Xiu Min's wedding (finally!), Ruiqi's birthday party + having to squeeze in several meetups!
Anyway,
Lets hit the goal coast.
Aunt msc (who passed her driving test today) and xui min (whose wedding is at the end of the month), jean, jenny jie jie
She sells seashells on the seashore
The reason why i'm putting photos of Australia online is because,
I will be flying off to visit my dearest baby sister after the exams! Mum had initially wanted to leave the day after my papers (3oth Nov) which got me really excited but we still gotta spend some time enjoying the festive mood in Singapore before eloping. haha. Perhaps some time later during the first week of December then. The decision was made a few days ago but i only revealed the plans to Jean Bean this afternoon and she was over the moon:) Yay, we'll be reunited!
Australia, here i come!
- Thank You, Lord, for answering prayers. -

Fingers go tap tap tap /// 4:21 PM
Had 2 meals for lunch today! Ate a western meal consisting of chicken cutlet, pasta, baked beans and mashed potato AND despite being very full, was still contemplating on whether to consume the kimchi meal just cuz i've yet to try it and had an irresistible urge to. Went for the kill and yeah, left the eatery with the membrane of my stomach stretched to its max. Was glad i didnt tumble over and land on my stomach after my meals, given the sudden difference in mass.
Anyway, it's been 6 hours since i'm here and i've only completed 16 pages of a reading. Was and am still distracted by jiahao's iphone 4's camera application:)
Pls. I miss wanling and chialing! :(
- Thank You, Lord, for the coming e-learning week! -
