Does it ever cross your mind

Venue: My apartment
Listening to: Crush by David Archuleta
Mood: Stoned

I’m super stone. It is so true that one sleeps lesser after one’s exams. Sigh.

Anyway, instead of stoning for the past 10mins, I was actually thinking…

So yeah… just had to pen down my random thought…

You know how our hands are like such normal things and there’s nothing secret about them. We treat our hands so rubbishly sometimes although they are like so important. We use them so much, and sometimes we destroy them with all the washing, picking trash and whatnot. And sometimes, they get so dry and we’re still too whatever to moisturise them. Like yesterday, I spent like 30mins cleaning up my entire kitchen and my hands got all red and swollen.

We also use our hands when we hold each other when we pray in unity at times and the action of our hands indicate many things. Like we point at stuff, we use it to tell people what we’ve ordered at restaurants etc.

But why is it that there’s just something so sacred about our hands? We don’t hold other people hands- only couples do it cause it’s you know! A couple thing to do and like there’s intimacy in holding that other person’s hand. Or we hold our parents hands etc. When someone accidentally touches your hand as you hold the pole in a tram, it’s like a total reflex action to pull your hand away.

We give hugs and kisses to family and friends. And sometimes, especially in this culture, to acquaintances. HUGS! Something which involve like erm. the contact of your entire body. But we just don’t hold hands or whatever. And don’t say it’s because hugs are a couple of seconds, and holding hands are forever. That’s rubbish. Sometimes, when we grab someone’s hand, he/she just backs off.

Okay, why is it that I can write like a 300 word paragraph on hands in like a few mins and not on like supply/demand. Sigh.

I’m really sleepyyyy. And it’s like 10:30pm only. I want to sleep! But I’m going to move stuff to Trinity first =)

Excited about YLSS ‘09 =)

Okayy. Kenneth is coming in like 15mins. So I’ve gotta run now!

Toodles world!

So firm on His promise I’ll stand

Venue: My apartment
Listening to: Desert Song by Hillsong
Mood: Happy =)

And so I was doing my QT in the morning when I woke up. Well, not really morning, more like late afternoon [It's my summer holidays!!]. It’s not everyday that I blog about my QT. So here we go…

The Lord’s servant must gently teach those who disagree. Then maybe God will let them change their minds so they can accept the truth. And they may wake up and escape from the trap of the devil, who catches them to do what he wants.
2 Tim 2:25-26

Just some food for thought =) I think the word gently caught my attention the most! So don’t be discouraged people =) Just keep praying, believing and um. talking.

My weekend has been fun =) That’s why today is my don’t-go-out day. But I need to go safeway later to buy stuff for Urbanlife this Weds =)

Friday night: I had my YLSS mentor meeting, then sanne, diane and I went to san churros and we met ben, wx, tim and mx for dessert. That was good =) Sarah woo popped by later too!

Sat night: This was like the highlight of my weekend! Ben, Mx, Tim, Colin, Diane and I went to Box Hill to visit Sheena. So much fun =)) We had like the best-est steamboat ever!! So yumm. Then we went to this HK cafe for desset. I’ve missed Sheena heaps!

Church yesterday was off the dial! Then we went to Smith Street for dinner. I went to Old Raffles for the first time. I finally had my black carrot cake craving satisfied. No where near the Singapore standard though =( Can’t wait to go home and eatttt!

Yayers =)

So that’s all for now people =)

There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how

Venue: My apartment
Listening to: Wonderwall by Oasis
Mood: Happy =)

I really really really want to eat the black carrot cake now.

I haven’t been home for a year and all I can think about is local food and my lovely house. And of course, it’ll be horrible if I say I don’t miss my family and friends.

Xinhui and I had a very amusing conversation over skype/msn just now. I miss my homies! Bahh.

And of course Mother Dearest- I need to go shopping. And of course, she needs me to go to the doctor with her.

So many things to do in that 2.5 weeks!! I’m going back in July- so stop shooting me!

I want to spend as much dinners as possible with my family- so I really gotta plan my 16 days properly! So people, start fixing dates! Important, you know!

I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.

But of course, I can’t wait to come back in Summer for my summer semester. I know it’ll be so hot that I’ll totally be like crying and wishing that I was back in my aircon room in Singapore. Sighh. The things I do! And when I go back in July next year, I’d be in that whole I-miss-winter-mode.

It’ll be exciting.

Ahhh. I’m starving now just thinking about all the local food!! Shucks.

I shall just go sleep now.

Toodles world!

‘Cause we got much further than I thought we’d get tonight

Venue: Ming Xian’s apartment
Listening to: If I never see your face again by Maroon 5 feat Rihanna
Mood: Fulfilled =)

Yesterday was what I called a fulfilling day- it kinda reminded me of CIP though. Hee.

So I went to vic mart with mx to buy groceries and then we went to town in the afternoon to get some stuff and like went safeway and all that.

And we started cooking diner at 5:30pm for like 2 hours for 12 people! And then we packed them and sent them to Frank Tate =) Yay us! For once, Ming Xian was my sous-chef! Hee.

Then I taught math for another 5 hours at night.

I was so so tired when I ended my day. But it was so much fun!

I know I haven’t been updating much. Hee. But there isn’t much.

Exams were over last Friday. I’ve been watching shows and more shows eversince. Haha.

So yes, dear and faithful readers, I’m terribly sorry that I haven’t blogged! I will write again when uh. I’m inspired! Haha.

Oh and summer prison starts next sat- can’t wait =))

Toodles world!

We are all lovers and takers breaking hearts to make the papers

Venue: My apartment
Listening to: Love Love Love by Tristan Prettyman
Mood: Sleepyy. HOT HOT HOT- Can’t stand it!

I had my ATA paper today. To be honest, it was really bad cause it was a really difficult paper. But I reckon I was the most optimistic out of the 4 of us.

I don’t know how to explan this… But let me try.

During the paper, I was just flipping through and I totally blanked out cause well, of the sheer amount of blanks I left. And the amount of figures that didn’t tally was appalling!

But all through the paper, there was this voice within me that kept going “It’s going to be okay, It’s going to be okay.” Funny how the Holy Spirit really speaks to you during the most chaotic time [this was the worst paper larr.] Heehee.

It’s time to know who You are in Christ, people!

I know I studied my backside off and He certainly knows that- duh, He’s God you know.

So everything will be okay =)

Oh, the amount of swear words you can hear at the REB after an exam is quite amazing…

And this is the time of the year when you see people you didn’t even know exist in Melb Uni. Hee.

LESS THAN 20HOURS TO FREEDOMMMMMM!

I think we should all seriously consider praying and fasting for good weather in Melb.

I’m definitely feeling under the weather because of the weather. Pfft.

Okay, anyhow, enough slacking and being traumatised by ATA.

BPA calls yo! Funny how we use so many acronyms which are seriously -.-” Hee

Toodles world!

Your distance is keeping my interest

Listening to: Shy That Way by Tristan Prettyman and Jason Mraz
Mood: Refreshed!

This morning, Litening, Audrey and I went for our PBL exam.

AND WE GOT ANNOYED.

Sigh. There were some issues with the computers and hence, our exams got pushed back by an hour. So we went to the cafe and stoned- cause we were so darn tired.

Last night was like the first time I slept so late before a paper cause I had an incredible amount to read through- which I flipping didn’t remember a thing today during the paper. Sigh.

So I came home after my exam and slept for 2 hours. I couldn’t sleep from 1pm-2pm cause of the coffee I had in the morning I think- not a good idea. I was so stoned and sleepy during my paper that all I thought about was ‘finish it, go home, sleep.’ Not good at all. So I woke up at 4pm =)) Happy happy. But I had heaps of weird dreams during my sleep. Hmm… I can’t even really remember them.

Ah whatever. I need to go study for my ATA paper- which is tomorrow. Sigh again.

But the joy of the Lord is with me despite all those hiccups.

Toodles world!

So if you must falter, be wise

Mood: …

I’M FREAKING SLEEPY.

I NEED TO WAKE UP.

I’VE GOT AN EXAM IN AN HOUR’S TIME.

SERIOUSLY!

I knew I shouldn’t have left the reading of exam papers to today but I’ve been so zonked.

So after econs, I’ll be cionging back to study law. Oh lord.

I woke up at 10:30am today and I slept at 2:30am yesterday. IT’S 8 HOURS. WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!

I wish I could snooze exams. PFFT.

Ohhh. Go google “interesting alarm clocks”. It’s super funny!! I think the one with the wheels will help me heaps- but no! I DON’T WANT AN ALARM CLOCK. Hee.

Actually, I think I’d like an alarm clock that turns on the radio when I’m supposed to wake up. I think that would be awesome! I think Pam has an alarm clock like that.

Awesome Possum!! Today’s the 1st day of my exams! And Friday’s the last- how scarily fast right! Sighhh.

First year of uni like zoomed past like the wind!

Ohhh. And Zai showed me this the other day! It’s the coolest thing ever!

Okay. Gotta pack my stuff and head of to the REB. I hope it burns down. Actually, no, not really, that’s really politically incorrect- my apologies.

Toodles world!

I will love you until my dying day

Venue: My apartment
Listening to: Come What May by Nicole Kidman & Ewan Mcgregor
Mood: SIAN 0.5

Hello hello!

I’m so sian of studying. Like super duper. Econs is making me go all =S

I can’t believe I’m going to finish 1 year of uni already! Fainted.

I’m still reading my textbook and discovering new things about Introductory Macroeconomics. This is so not good. God! Please multiply my time!! It is very very much needed!!

I so need to remember everything I’m studying cause they just slip off my mind so easily.

It’s amazing how I remember what people wear and when their birthdays are and what they say more than stuff that I’ve read a zillion times in my textbook. Sighh.

I’m just going to read as much as I can. And by 9ish, I’m going to start studying the past year papers. Yes, study past year papers, as weird as that sounds. Hee.

You know what turns me off? When people act like their know-it-alls. I’m so not interested in that. I can’t stand it when people give that snobbish “i know!” tone. Like wow! You know some long lost secret of a lost dying child. Sigh. Don’t ever ever christianise gossip as being concerned. That can kill- literally and figuratively. And sometimes, the higher you go, the easier it becomes it.

And no doubt sometimes it hurts when people give you fake promises, especially when it’s in His name. But you just gotta deal with it and let it go. And I know it’s difficult when you push and push for someone and you help someone pull through everything and you get nothing in return. But this doesn’t mean that you stop pushing through the crowd for your friend! That’s what the devil wants! We must be willing to carry our friends on the stretcher too!

I was talking to someone the other day [can't remember who... sigh. memory failing me AGAIN]. I want an accountability sister too!

I guess we don’t just want to trust people, we want to be trusted, we want to feel trusted- that’s the real core issue that is hard larr. More often than not, what we know isn’t what we feel- that is hard too.

AHHH. IT’S GOING TO BE 8PM

8pm is like my magical panic hour or something. Silly, I know.

So… Shiyou, WHY ARE YOU STILL BLOGGING? GET OFF NOW!!!!!!!

Ohhh mx and I got H1 for my second ATA assignment. Yay God =)

Ah well, back to econs!

Toodles world!
