a little bit of inspiration
there was an extremely beautiful sight in dull aj today. on one side, the sky was dark and overcast. on the other side, the sky was bright and clear. while walking past aj square, i realised that although aj square was enveloped in darkness, there seemed to be a beam of light shining forth. i looked up into the direction of the beam and i imagined St Peter there, holding the Book of Life[?], standing in front of the pearly gates of Heaven. behind those majestic gates, i could feel that there was eternal peace and a sense of relief after finally coming home after a long and strenuous journey.

i hope im in that Book of Life when i meet St Peter up there:)

[although i would argue that "Heaven" is more of a being rather than a place where you can sip martinis and never get drunk...]

"Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life? For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done." "
Matthew 16:24-27

those lines were part of this week's scripture. i particularly like this quote:)

bathtubs in the open
the pictures will do the talking today....

Singapore truly lives up to her name as a Garden City.

Spotlight sells really WEIRD fabrics.

ZIPPIDEE-DOO-DAH!

why are these things still around?!

the bathtub is so cool! and i love the way the rooms are laid out:)

wenzie's oreo frappe.

iced mocha float. i agree with wenzie that we need to find a day where everybody is free. the coffee was yummy. we all need a coffee fix:)

depressing days exist so that happy days will be even more happier!
i count my lucky stars that i'll be able to send dad off when he goes overseas next saturday. thank goodness his flight is at night. i wont be able to make it during the day as i have ocip camp.

the weekends are here! im going to zzz soon. already dozing in front of com but my hair is still wet >_<

#jOyZ flyin' in the sky at 22:23

*******

if i dont look after myself, who will?
i shall attempt to sound happy.

high point(s) this week:
1. making my own earrings for the first time!

weird things i learnt this week:
1. that we shouldnt eat sweets to prevent ourself from falling asleep as we will fall asleep halfway while eating the sweet, choke and die:)
2. that it is better for girls to expose our undies, than the shorts that we wear under our skirts
number three is weird

low points this week:
i dont really wanna start >_<

gee. will add more if i think of anything. im too tired and my brain is not functioning properly.
later. maybe.

:(
i blame myself for getting into a shitload of activities. im so tired that when i reach home at seven, i quickly have dinner, shower and go to zzz. then after that i wake up in the wee hours to do some work. im so tired, each day feels like a dream nightmare. each day feels foggy/dreamy [like the days of our lives shows] and i cant think clearly. like today when mrs tan was talking to me, i just said ok all the way. it took me a few minutes to realise that i have to do:
1) crystal trophy thingy design for mr tan
2) design for ajc open houes
3) redo handbook design for notes page [this is a group work tho]
... all by next monday.

why the fuck did i get involved in so many things?! i think its retribution. [but then again the other half of my brain will argue that its all this concept of "free choice" that i remember learning in catheism class before my confirmation. more on that another time i guess:)]

wait.. the other half of the brain... gee. split personality... WHICH IS SO DAMN COOL!

sorry, i just love Beast In View so much. glad it was one of our lit text.

anyways, dont get me wrong. i really love VA and the stuff we do. i rather make dolls, then play sports or take photos or erm, play any instrument [except maybe guitar] Visual Arts is really fun where u can slack and still make really cool things. i dont regret my job as a VP. but i absolutely DETEST those endless meetings the school calls for that geri kang [my prez:)] and i have to go attend. mr lim kim thye [total idiot!] was saying that it will only be once a month. at first, i thought once a month meetings are more than enough to settle admin matters. but no! this friday will be the third freaking one we have to attend in august! gee. if there's one thing i learn about AJC is that the A in AJC stands for [love for] ADMINSTRATION. isnt there a more effective way of disseminating information than endless meetings over and over again?! AJ IS RETARDED. oops, dont even get me started on the courses we have to PAY for and attend on SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

then there's OCIP [Overseas CIP] im really excited with the idea of going to Nan, Thailand to go help and teach Thai kids. and i think its a really good experience to see how other people live in other poorer countries. and i think its a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend the holidays instead of bumming around all day. but again, there's endless meetings to attend. endless list of things to prepare for the trip. however in this case, im more willing to help out 'cause its not as pointless as those CCA heads meeting. there's actually a need for all the meetings. so im ok in giving up my time to attend them and work on them. and that includes the overnight camp on the 2nd-3rd Sept.

then there's the other thing of being class leader. but hey, i dont do much thanks to meryl and gary. whee! u guys are great!:)

so the term "my own free time" does not exist in my dictionary anymore. bleaugh. i wanna drop some stuff. i have to focus on my studies. i cant get retained. not this year. all this talk in my house about entering uni and the courses i would take [due to my brother in uni now...] i absolutely have to get promoted. i dont even dare entertain the thought of being retained. in fact, i shouldnt even talk about studies when im strugging to keep up with homework.

bleaugh. i think this is called stress.

men and their retarded football
to be fair, i shall say people and their addiction to football.

dad and i just came into conflict. we didnt yell at each other or anything. im just pissed with him and he's just pissed with me.

was waiting for dad to cook dinner. so i told him i was hungry and he asked me to go prepare. so i went to set the table and all. while waiting for him to handle the hot food, i found him glued to some EPL highlights on tv. i was irritated and gave him a little attitude then he buay song and whee we exchanged some er, not very nice words. im like wtf, he spent the entire weekend glued to the bloody tv watching football. i have nothing against that. but now, he is watching something, he has already watched. and here i am having really bad gastric pains and dying to eat. i was fed up and just started eating without him. so he buay song i give him attitude. and now i want to take the tv and throw it out of the window if i could actually lift it up.

bleaugh. its not that i hate football. its just the addiction to it.

football is the bane of my life.

ok now my dad is being nice and trying to tell me something about mars being closest to earth during this sat. i know im retarded and all and this is a small issue, but i think my biggest problem is that i cant forgive and forget easily.

late night craving
mmmm, i just ate prata. i usually stop eating anything from 9pm onwards [my stomach closes shop then;)] it was yummy. greasy. fattening. guilty. im pretty sure i gained weight. but hey, i dont care. the prata was damn good lar! and tomorrow morning im going to wake up with a very bad stomachache and have numerous trips to the toilet cuz i got sensitive stomach and i cant take oily food.

but you know what? i simply dont care:) now, im craving for a milo dinosaur.... *drools*

i was talking with my stupid brother over the prata. note: "my stupid brother" is an oxymoron in itself, cuz my brother is well, in my opinion rather smart but he's extremely lazy [sounds like 3505] that brainy idiot [another oxymoron] was rubbing it in that his lessons for the week finishes at 12pm on a THURSDAY and he finishes at 10am on even school days. like wtf man, nus sure doesnt sound like a studying place anymore.

ok, im trying to making my own earrings. later:)

btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACLYN:) its been a while since somebody called me "pip pip" [actually wan lin just shouted that through my phone ytd.lol.] or call me "car". i miss those days! i miss this crazy loud funny TOMATO who grows immediatly red in the face at any joke. hope you see this and i hope you had a very special day today and the days to come!:)

14 hour marathon
my brains are fried. today was so tiring. my brains have been gathering information since the start of school at 7.45am all the way to 10pm. extra history lecture only ended at 6.35pm of which i chionged home and then out again for tuition from 8-10pm. im so freaking tired. my brains are fried. have i said that before? i cant remember.

dozing off in front of com. gotta wait for my group to finish their parts [cuz i finished mine early! heh! they were rather skimpy though] so erm, my brains are fried.

im hungry. i suddenly crave for gelare waffles. ok wait, i've been craving for it since tuesday. or brownies.

this is the most unfocus entry ever. im just typing whatever comes to mind.

erm, daniel seng is weird. thats nothing new though. he somehow reminds me of mr ong when he says "rrrrrrrrrubber" and his tin jokes >_< mr ong was damn lame lar, and he was super funny everytime he comes to 4/2. he always say, "four-two! class of cca leaders! [yada yada]" i miss 4/2.

i hope i dream of eating delicious yummy food when i sleep..

and i hope that when i wake up, my pillow is still there. for im afraid im going to eat it in my hunger. grrr...

last night, as i was waiting for my zen micro to be fully charged, i started sifting through my files. [im running out of space] i got into my received files folder and there were so many photos/videos since the beginning of the year. i have been avoiding feeling nostalgic if not theres no way to move on. but i cant help it as i was viewing [and deleting] the photos/videos, a wave of nostalgia, sadness, joy and guilt hit me. i cant help but smile at the stupid videos that we took, tear at the photos that brought back so much guilt and sadness. it seems like all these memories were only a dream. like it never happen cuz it was so beautiful.

sigh. if only i had a time turner.

it belongs to me but its not mine
no pirate ships last night.

i dreamt that i got 2 huge, fluffy cats. they were white except for one stripe on their backs. [yip says it reminds her of skunks. i cant help but agree] i really dislike cats and im extremely allergic to fur. but in my dream, i was actually quite fond of these two cats. and i wasnt scratching/sniffing/sneezing when i hugged them. all seems well until i realise i do not have any cat food so i fed them bread. yip says cats dont eat bread. lol. the dream kinda ended here.

i have really weird dreams. and i wonder what my dream meant. lol. i need a dream catcher, i really want to have a good night's sleep but its really impossible with all these dreams. its ironic that im always giving people dream catchers but i dont have one myself.

well, life is full of ironies.

oxymorons
oxymorons are funnnn! been thinking about oxymorons the whole day during lectures and tutorials. lol. and i hate literary devices.

the ugliness of beauty. i can think of so so so many things to describe this. but nah, i dont want my blog to turn into a bitching blog:)

so anyways, i was checking out the sites of the universities in Singapore. SIM is offering a BA in psychology with sociology. I WANT TO DO! but applicants need to be 21 years and above. gee. i wonder why? wenzie and i were talking about the limited courses in local Us. like she wants to do anthropology and i want to do archaelogy or history of ancient civilisations. dad thinks that its a dead course cuz there isnt anything new to discover about the past. BUT I DISAGREE! hmph. lol. so now im stuck with either psychology or sociology. i dont think i wanna do anything else.

OH! i wanna study on the history of christianity! theology! ooooo. the only way i can is to be a nun i think. religious orders? not on my mind as of now;)

gonna zzz. i had this dreamless sleep last night. wow, i havnt had one in ages. i usually get weird dreams like being stuck on a pirate [????] ship... or the falling dream, where i just fall into nothingness for the whole duration of my sleep. my dreams are weird >_<

a new defence parameter
wow. my parents. tag-team champions in my house. my dad reached a personal best by sounding as loud as my mom. got nagged for practically an hour for lazing around and refusing to bathe cuz i was uploading photos of that jap guy >_< [u guys better feel guilty for getting me in trouble]

nahhhhh, im quite amused actually. the image of mom and dad in wrestle gear was enough to make me grin widely. i found out that the best way to ward off all this unpleasantnes is just to do the exact opposite of whats expected: dad thought i was pissed as i was just ignoring them and remain quiet so he said [/provoked]:
"i say too much then u become angry." [then he still say?!;)]
so i looked him full in the face, grinned widely and said:
"no actually dad, im quite amused" and stepped into the bathroom leaving him looking immensely puzzled. i ignored him when he shouted through the door and demanded what i meant.

heh. next time, i'll just ignore what my parents say and think of the most ridiculous thing ever to make me feel better. with his royal highness gone, its not easy to win this handicapped match.

btw, my favourite tag-team was the hardy boys. fav wrestler: lita and undertaker. im not sure if all this people are still around. aunty very long never watch wrestling le;)
