truth is, i don't blog. and when i do, they come in chunks. the term's almost over. and though i always seem to, i didn't MIA. i think i have a photographic memory because i can remember quite explicitly how i spent each day. (these posts will be edited once i have some pictures) brace up, long lonnnng entry coming atcha
Saturday, 4 February 2006 went back church for group leader's meeting to go through the Bible Study materials for Sunday. then went for baby joaquin's wake. it's very heartwarming especially when there are so many questions of why, that we've no answers to. yet in all seeming gloom, Sis. Angeline and her husband still trust God unconditionally cos it's true, the safest place where your child can ever be, is to be with Him, where we'll all be ultimately anyways.
Sunday, 5 February 2006 after church, cabbed back to school for ecd project. it's quite weird cos after a long while then the driver realised it's 3.30 and not 2.30 (changing shifts time) and she dropped me off at bukit timah road without charging me :) then i took another cab to school.
rahh went off at 4plus for church and came back with chicken rice from gab's uncle's shop at holland v and it's rahhingly delish :)
we did our ecd at the atrium until like 10plus or 11plus lahh. until like i'm almost gone man. and we all cabbed home, me in a Mers cab. yay the little, irrelevant details, i remember most
Monday, 6 February 2006 ecd presentation screwed up. first the sound wire (whatever you call that) is not long enough, then the video couldn't show on the screen. NEXT, the laptop hibernated halfway. :/
side note: jayrius' IS group selling sausages and sandwiches at the bazaar and cuttlefish wore sleeveless. no, no hidden meaning
we got back our ecd results. i thought i failed! until rah says it's upon 60. as you can tell, im not about to disclose my shameful marks haha.
Tuesday, 7 February 2006 all of us ponned hrm to go jonman's house to do blaw. me, rah, jayrius, jonman. had lunch at don't know where and we bought this desert thing for sarahannkhoochuting cos IT'S HER BIRTHDAY and though it's a lil late now i shall still scream a HAPPY 20th RAHHH! i hope we'll still be in the same class next sem :(
on the way to jonman's house, which is damn far, we had to weaved through a series of heartland shops and that's when i acquired my ELEVENTH BEADCOUNT :) :) i love my newest acquisition!
i say the rest of the afternoon was quite fun with our spastic video, GTA, cards, and food. and angbao haha.
anyways we all forgot to call thehong cos we forgot that he's in our group. and we didnt reply him when he sent all of us the same msg cos we thought maybe the hrm tutor asked him to msg us. so he was quite pissed. haha. anyways he came after hrm and became the main joke of our vid as the towel-wigged judge.
Wednesday, 8 February 2006 blaw presentation, then ponned fmgt to go home and sleep. slept all the way till tuition time. then dinner at pek kio with shao, hong, meiling, weiling, marcus, weiwu, uncle timothy & my sister. songled before prayer meeting.
Thursday, 9 February 2006 no school. IS's over. no more tan hock guan.
stoned at
home while
waiting for
the cue
to leave
the house
met yauting at toapayoh for her to zap her financial plannig notes while i munch some choco rotiboy. made our way down to suntec carl's jr and met mel, mikael, jonman, jenn, and kian. basically, i missed the fireworks argh, and missed my 10 o'clock show (double argh) and we didn't really do anything constructive cept sit at esplanade talking cock while jon and jenn coldwarred. goodness
Friday, 10 February 2006 rah me went taka foodcourt after school cos she was craving for za yu ban mian since the day before. anyways geri took a looong time to come, but i wasn't angry at all. since the other day i made her wait damn long also haha. i i i ate a hell lot the whole day. ipoh horfun, almost the entire pack of lizard meat, then when geri came, we went crystal jade express for chicken wings. after we shopped for awhile, we went wisma foodcourt for drinks (carrot juice is damn filling too k). so i won't spare you the details? fat bouncy tummeh.
went Braddell to meet jiam so we can cab to Woodleigh Park together for the Singapore Power Club CNY Dinner and i stoned in the cold from 6.15 - 7.30 without flaring up should i or should i not be crowned the most patient and understanding girl of the year? though i did shoot off in sarcasm aimed at the driver and he understood english so he was quite pissed oh i don't care! jiam's cab probably went around the island 3 times lahh and met with a mini accident (the car behind bumped him, see, too slow uncle) before finally turning onto Braddell Lorong 2 thanks.
anyways we totally had no intention of participating whatsoever other than eating dish after dish after dish since the whole event was like for Singapore Power employees, and we were surrounded by adults, and the comperes were so not funny, and the games were like too lame blah blah BUT when the comperes were looking for participants in a game, of course we were like what business is it of ours so we were happily eating cept for jiam who tried to be funny and kept pointing at us (me and her friend, michelle) until the mc suddenly went like, "can i have the lady with the green cap please."
Saturday, 11 February 2006 went geri's house after i woke up, which is like 2:30 heh. i had to go up myself cos she was cooking. when people tell me that they're cooking, i would think it's maggie mee. so i watched tv myself for awhile, then i got bored and went into the kitchen to disturb and to my horror, she was on her way to whip out.. tempura prawns, minced pork, scrambled eggs (this one simple), and fried cabbage. WOW
i missed Sidlow Baxter (2nd time already) oops and went with her to Sengkang Methodist church at 7 for singspiration and sermonette (on the heart of King David). twas quite good. went for supper at Compasspoint kfc. and we had good talks, good laughs for the whole day. good company i say.
that's my prayer answered man. since mowl, whom i kinda lost the spiritual connection to all the whatnots that influenced her in the US, which is damn sad especially when i remember the time when my mum was suspected of having colon cancer and she was there all the way telling me to trust God, rendering prayer support, sending chains of msgs to get me to face the trial brave. probably the only friend i have who can tell me these things and gimme this kinda solid support. but yeah so i was damn sad lahh and i asked God to please gimme another friend who can support me spiritually and is IN the kinda social makeup that i'm in, oh hi there (:
still, i know one day she'll be back on track again because God, never, lets His own go.
well well, good for you, the long-winded author is finally tired of her own ranting. time to hit the sack. ciao
truth forever
on the scaffold,
wrong forever
on the throne.
yet the scaffold
sways the future,
and behind
the dim unknown,
standeth God
within the shadow,
keeping watch,
above His own.
| verse of the day
| beautiful, i just want you to know, you are my favourite girls
not what my hands have done
can save my guilty soul
not what my toiling flesh has borne
can make my spirit whole
not what i feel or do
can give me peace with God
not all my prayers & sighs & tears
can bear my awful load
Your work alone, O Christ
can ease this weight of sin
Your blood alone, O Lamb of God
can give me peace within
Your love to me, O God
not mine, O Lord, to thee
can rid me of this dark unrest
& set my spirit free
Your grace alone, O God
to me can pardon speak
Your power alone, O Son of God
can this sore bondage break
no other work, save thine
no other blood will do
no strength, save that which is divine
can bear me safely through
i bless the Christ of God
i rest on love divine & with unfaltering lip & heart
i call this Saviour mine
His cross dispels each doubt
i bury in His tomb
each thought of unbelief & fear
each lingering shade of gloom
i praise the God of grace
i trust His truth & might
He calls me His, i call Him mine
my God, my joy, me light
'tis He who saveth me
& freely pardon gives
i love because He loveth me
i live because He lives (:
