:)

monday was a terrible day for me, with lotsa dissappointments like bad grades for my written assignment, less than expected grades for my report and a terrible presentation. i'm not angry at my grp mates for being slack, but i'm angry at myself for having known that fact and not making more of an effort to vet through the final slides. in the end, everything was sub-standard, lotsa missing or wrong points...what a great way to end my final sem. :(

was incredibly moody the entire day but i'm thankful that at the end of the day, i didn't hafta go home and mope myself to sleep...i greatly appreciate those who were there to comfort me that day. thank you for bearing my "back face"...thank you for the listening ears.

and today when i thought everything was gonna be fine, i lost my ez-link on the bus! really felt like a dark cloud just passed over my head and shot bolts of lightning directy at me...but God is good, He sends angels down to help you when you feel like you can't go on. This time it was in the form of my ID teacher. He was really nice and started showing me funny animation clips. And at the end of the lesson, he was super nice to draw out a map of how i could get a straight bus back from one of the busstops nearby rather than take the long train and bus route which i usually take back from my design school. He even walked me out to show the direction to walk and asked me if i had enough coins to take a bus. Even though i said i did, he immediatey thrusted a buncha coins into my hands. It was really alot and he didn't even bother to count them. I was really touched at the little gesture of kindness. I used to think he was a bit of a queer but now he is a v nice, queer but kind ol' man. lolx.

Recently, I've been inspired by someone to count my blessings. That if i record every miracle or blessing that God has brought into my life, i'd be able to look back during troubled times and see that God is faithful and kind and that He has blessed me in so many ways that i can have faith that whatever it is, He will lead me through. God is good :) No matter what problems i may face, He has always strengthened me to fight the circumstances. I feel like i'm starting to appreciate the litte things in life and become a much happier and free person.

mission seek audrey

Mission Seek Audrey!

agents estelle, sandra& wp goes on mission to hunt down the elusive audrey.

time of expected sighting: 9.30pm

location: ulu cc

amidst the suspense and intense waiting, we top secret agents decided to take a break and cool down. and...ermmm...cam-whore.

Target Spotted!!! Mission Accomplished! We MISS YA!!!

it has been a fruitful week!

i've done plentiful this week and last! Went out for HOTPOT CULTURE with my primary school friend, kx(who was my school bus mate back when we were young and puny. miraculously, we met again in uni and we both share a love for tax!)! Watched "The Tale of Despereaux" with estelle and wp, develop closer ties with my design mate(this really pretty viet gal whose super talented in baking, drawing, etc) over Ah Chew's dessert, met many people, went for late night suppers and finished up many reports! I am truly grateful that the tough run is finaly coming to an end, the work load is starting to lessen and my tax module is coming to an end! woots! it has certainly been a fantastic week.

I've never been happier(not really, but close, lol). and the irresponsible grp mates who i complained so incessantly about have miraculously become such a fun buncha people. i realised you've just gotta learn to work with their working style, they're a fun loving bunch who don't necessarily take initiative to do work but they do the work they are given. And they are absolutely the most hilarious group mates i've ever had, gosh, and a tad bit unruly cause they're so loud and reckless and love joking around with the prof and people. Amazingly, just recently, the v slack grp mate whom i couldn't tolerate actually volunteered to help out with my parts for our main report submission. i was really shocked but v grateful for the rare gesture.

i've been feeling this overwhelming sense of happiness recently. i'm feeling more empowered and you know, GOD IS TRULY GOOD. i'm not the most godly person if you know me well, but recently i've been starting to feel the goodness of God all over again through a few particular people. it's nice to see people who are so enthusiastic about the Lord and are always thanking the Lord no matter what the circumstances. i want to be able to openly thank the Lord in daily things too. i've never been the affectionate sort but i really wanna work on it, i wanna thank the Lord openly when He's blessed me, i wanna be someone who's encouraging and who can impact others. i want to be a BIG person with a BIG heart.

-------------

And i wanna take a little time to really thank Myrna, a good friend and spiritual leader, whose birthday we celebrated today (with 12cups of her fave tom yam noodles and 12 other tom yam related food, and of corz her fave ed hardy t-shirts!).

I've known her for 5 years now and she's really grown into a more empowered and spiritual person who can impact others in ways that few can. she loves people abundantly and really takes time out to care for others. i really wanna be like her, to be more openly affectionate and so deeply in love with God and all his goodness.

i've seen her really grow up these past few years and there's now an inner confidence and self-fulfilment exuding from her compared to 5 years ago. i think she is destined for greatness and to be a market leader in whatever she decides to venture to because of her strong character and her sincere love for people. now that she's become a cell group leader, i can tell that she really leads by example(using examples from her personal experiences) and is constantly encouraging towards all her cell group members, bringing them up for greater things.

Myrna, you're definitely an inspiration and role model to me! Thank you for all your encouragement and for the years of friendship. I've never been more grateful for such a good friend and now, spiritual leader! May you continue shining so brightly for the Lord!

our "tom yam" hamper for Myrna!

Ed Hardy Shirt! Woots! Totally suits Myrna and her penchant for the word "Rawrr!" lolx.

And there's our happy girl with her hamper, which she was kinda shocked at receiving at first, cause we pretended it was the only gift we were getting her. lolx.

fond of hats

Jason Mraz live at Indoor Stadium!! Woots!

absolute highlight of my week, of my year! lolx.

seriously. as rachel zoe would say, "i'd die" (slang for "i'd die if if i didn't go/have it")


He was fantastic as usual. Once again, i'm stilled stunned and awe-struck by his jaw-dropping vocal range and musical diversity. His falsetto in the song "Clockwatching" is crazy. He could totally be the next Andrea Bocelli(Famous tenor) if he wanted to, but omg. please don't. he is like the best, bestest(if there was ever such a word) folk-pop musician in the world right now. The reason why i love his live performances is because he's also a born-entertainer, he knows how to work the crowd and he is sooo funny in his own geeky way, without trying too hard. i love the way he's so laid back and the way he wears cotton t-shirts, jean and slippers on stage without caring what other people think. i wanna be like that too, i wanna be geeky but cool at the same time.



Sorry for the positively cheesy and goosebump inducing admiration and gushing. i'm almost suffering from withdrawal symptoms now. lol. and it's been barely a day or 2 since i saw his performance.

gosh. i wish he wasn't so famous now, i prefer it when he was less well-known and could hold his concert in smaller settings like the esplanade where he had the opportunity to actually converse with the crowd. he didn't really get to have much interaction with the crowd this time round (he almost sounded drunk some of the time cause he was slurring half the time) but he worked the crowd with his incredible vocal techniques.

anyway, i bought the jason mraz tee!! yay! i was rather upset when the stall outside didn't have any s sizes for the shirt i wanted but i managed to get it at the stall at the north entrance. Thank you God!

Char and I were very excited and we kept taking sooo many pictures and i recorded quite alot of voice recordings of the performance, haha. not very good quality though, too much screaming from adoring fans(that could highly mean me included :S). Oh! and i saw Marc and his sis too! They got free tickets to the show! Argh. and they got front facing seats, which were probably better than our side-viewing ones! why don't i get free tickets too?! jealous!









I am elated. and satisfied! whee! next up, rachel yamagata! lolx, not sure if i can afford though. oh well, 1 concert is good enough for me :)

and my bro just got 7 distinctions for his Alvls!!! out of 9 crazy subjects!! (i didn't even do 7 subjects for alvls!!! :S) we are sooooo proud of him!! The principal announced his name and he got on stage to receive his result slip! Must have been the proudest moment of his life, or maybe not, since he probably already went up a couple of times by now. The irritating part is......HE STUDIES LESS THAN I DO!!! wth.

anyway, my parents were so excited discussing over the many possibilities for him. like what scholarships he should apply for. whether he should go for medical school. i guess they're pretty excited over being able to discuss this kinda things because they never got the opportunity with me. :(

"kk, you go relax for 2 days first, relax then later think about what u want.must rest the mind" -dad said to my bro

"why didn't you tell me to relax when i got my alvl results back?" - me

"Cause he more excited mah, so must relax first. you not so excited. so don't need to relax" - dad

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
