with my dearest lil' sis.

camwhoring while on the way to church.

Gathering with the SAJC peeps.

it's been a long while since we all met up. it was a nostalgic moment as we reminisced about the times in JC and all the nasty/weird teachers. pretty amazing to see how we've all grown up and now have careers of our own, how we once studied together and yet, now take entirely different paths in life. some going into banks, teaching, engineering, bioscience, etc.

random thought: yue xiang has gotta be the coolest gf i know, she shaved her head for cancer.

i would do it but i lack the guts.

SOT 2011 GRADUATION

Congrats Daniel!!! You finally did it! 6 months of intensive bible theology! it must have been an awesome experience, to be able to live, sleep and feed on the word of God. i wish God could make a way for me to also attend SOT! I'm praying for a greater breakthrough in my walk with God...been feeling very stagnant in my growth with God lately and i hope that somehow i can relive that spark that i first felt when i accepted Christ.

Mad about Garlic with Beatrice, my long-time pal since primary school days!

yums. love the food there. always had the impression mad for garlic was some cafe targetted at the younger crowd. was quite surprised to see that the interior decor was quite exquisite, like that of a fine dining restaurant.

my best friend in primary school. haha. when i was younger, we used to hang out at her playground and hog the swings as though we owned them.

 ahh. those days seem aeons ago. when i was a weee' lil primary school kid.

garlic ice-cream. we decided to try this purely for fun. it tasted not bad actually. hahaha. but then again, i am an ice-cream fan. :)

Thanks beat for the pair of nude heels! love it lots, it's so easy to match!

Watched Rise of the Planet Apes.

surprisingly it turned out quite good albeit the sudden ending. always thought the show was some movie about apes and nothing else. Being not much of an animal lover, i thought it'd be a retarded show but was surprised to find that it was actually quite gripping from start to end. the character buildup of Casear the ape was good and i ended up feeling for him/it. so yeps, 3.5/5 popcorns. haha.

BUT

 the scriptwriter ought to be shot for the terrible ending.

.

we then took a stroll along the bridge linking Sentosa to the main island. managed to catch some pretty fireworks while walking :)

when i'm bored or i need a breather from the hectic life, i like to surf youtube and check out my fave youtube musicians. 


i know i've said this a million times already.


but thank God for youtube.





love this cover of bruno mars' lazy song. the pair of them are sooo cute.



this is good too! love the beat boxing :)

Shape Run - 24 July 2011

Nett time: 1hr 07mins

it was really a breakthrough for me!

 from a girl who hated running, barely passed every 2.4km runs back in secondary, jc days to where i am now! super running nymph, lol. kidding. far from it. 

ranking 751 out of possibly 3000 particpants is not exactly an achievement. >.<

but it's good enough for me!

feel inspired to run 21 km now.

posing with our medals!

i think i'm gloating too much on this. but it feels good to be the "fastest" Sandra in the race. haha. and mind you, there weren't just 2 or 3 "Sandras", there were....ahem....*drumroll*...

6 (for the 10km category)!

haha. okay. feel rather stupid now that i think about it.

oh well, purely for humour sake.

Jo's virgin performance @ timbre substation

so proud of her!

my ex-roomie won a timbre music academy contest and got to hold a 30min solo act at Timbre.

she sang a total of 4 cover songs and 2 originals.

all of which were really good.

"just the way you are", "my girl", "lazy song",etc.

all my current fave songs! :) 

if only i was good at the guitar too! i've always secretly dreamt of becoming a singer-songwriter (think Fiona Apple, Michelle Branch, Liz Phair, A Fine Frenzy, Priscilla Ahn)!

with my JC peeps, Jo, Yan Ping & Sarah :)

this buncha gals are by far my most independent, gung-ho group of gfs, anything that involves risking your life, i would know who to call....lol.

Pretty hall mates, Lynette & Yanni.

Farewell celebration for the interns 

Jiaxin and i

One thing i like about working for my firm is that it constantly takes in fresh new faces. It's good to see more young people joining the firm. The office always seem more vibrant and fun with the interns and juniors around. Somehow it seems that the longer people work, energy just gets zapped out of them and people just become a bit more lethargic, a bit less talkative, a bit more serious....

rawr. i MUST NOT succumb to the the evils of work.

Firsthand Orientation @ House of Joy

it's been 1+ year since i've served in this wonderful ministry and it's been an enriching experience cause of the heart-wrenching/touching/life-changing life experiences heard and friends made.
