I GOT INTO ACJC SCI! hahaha.ok im not excatly feeling anything right now.

After Os it was shoppingggg with the best people in the world, class chalet, and what now.haha i havent been with anyone from 4E since the start of december! except wenfang of course.

VIP started on the 2nd, not to bad, met really nice people from anywhere and everywhere. Had fun working together, but to the extreme of meeting everyday,haha.i think we're crazy.

ohwells it has been a enjoyable time and we'll all book in tonight! looking forward to it, but i guess i'll be really drained out after that, with church camp going on right after vip. I can do it! hahaha

till then, it'll be christmas and i need a 4E dosage! we better go out and partyyy =)

2006-12-08T21:55:00.000+08:00

SUP PEOPLE.

carissa here.

chanel's pretty busy with VIP and all that jazz, so i'll take the liberty and help her update :]

AFTER THE O LEVELS AT ESSENTIAL BREWS:

ok, taht's all, tune in for more.

BYE KIDS.

2006-11-02T21:11:00.000+08:00

Thanks to carissa,till now, im still rather amazed by the password she set for this blog.haha, you little wimp.

Its bye to literature today, on a sad note though. well the paper was suppose to be easy but i guess something went wrong.oh wells at least its over, no more krishna and his jasmine =)
was feeling so down after the paper, cause it seems like from the start of the first practical paper, everything was so, adljkfsdkgjasgg.urgh.
finally made up my mind to join vip last week, and now i realize it clashes with church camp.
was so irritated with everything and then my phone started to play the song.

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His word will still remain
He will do something new today.

He is so amazing, and i simply have to trust that all is in his hands =)

Back at home just now, i guess my parents could tell that i was feeling quite upset and my dad decided to cheer me up with chocolates and he went on babbling nonsense to make me smile.

hahah.ALL THINGS ARE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL! =)

2006-10-30T09:55:00.000+08:00

just happened to look at photos that were taken some time ago and i found it so amusing now.haha

my dad!
he deliberatly posed and asked me to take this

my dearest mom who has no idea why she married my dad.haha

brandon is still as retarded as ever.by the way wenfang it was you behind him.you're not much better!haha

evil people.haha

more evil acts

first aid case study

the good old days outside the rc room.haha

and my beloved friendddds! =)

2006-10-26T21:21:00.000+08:00

Still

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are god

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

Human emotions are so unpredictable.
For a moment i can be sad and for another i cant be any happier.haha oh wells.
Not that im facing any major difficulties or anything, maybe its just hormones and its doings =)

Was just listening to this song and the lyrics moved me so deeply. GOD has hes reasons for everything that is happening around us and we simply have to trust in his plans. So even as we complete one paper after another, and sometimes things dont get too well, just forget abt it! do your best and leave the rest to him =)

Anyways, had a pretty interesting conversation with my pretty interesting classmates today.
the guys were going
--girls are so two sided. so unpredictable or maybe even..i dont know.whatever guys call it.

tall.dark.handsome.mature.cute.
for a moment girls go for this, and the other that.
im so not referring to all girls =)

yea.to a certain extent i do agree that guys are alot more simpler than girls.
but then again, we'll never know.haha
and there we go, girls defending themselves and giving crash courses on
"how to treat and please your girlfriend"
wahaha.lets see if brandon and joshua really practice all that we said =)

whatever it is, i thank God for him, for the relationship.
you're such a wonderful gift from God that i would truely treasure =)

2006-10-25T08:45:00.000+08:00

"this, christians, is what you must do. you must stay upon the Lord; and come what may - winds, waves, cross, seas, thunder, lightning, frowning rocks, roaring breakers - no matter what, you must hold fast your confidence in God's faithfulness and His everlasting love in Chirst Jesus"

The secret of peace is to give every anxious care to God.

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, becuase he trusts in you
-Isaiah 26:3

Shern shared this with us on sunday, from the daily bread, oct20. At that time it didnt really struck me just as much, till i did my quiet time a few days later, and He said

"in this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer greif in all kinds of trials"

Peter was writing about the temporary tough times that come into our lives even though we haven't chose them, and he indicated that they can have lasting benefits. (1 peter 1:3-9)
we rejoice during our trials, not for the frial itself but for the glory and honor, which is permanent.

Tough ties can bring pain and sadness, and they dont seem to promise any good news at all. But, look ahead to the forever joy that is promised - a joy that will help us understand the temporary tough times.

We can endure this life's trials because of the next life's joys

So to all that are mugging away for the Os and the As, may you find joy in doing so for the glory of the Lord. From a casual conversation i had yesterday " you cannot pray and not study, you cannot study and not pray"

And isnt it so true.in Him, nothing is impossible. its only about 3 weeks more before the Os come to an end, so even as you study, remember what these tough times can bring us =)

2006-10-22T17:39:00.000+08:00

haha.im bored.im bored.and im boredddd

2006-10-21T11:42:00.000+08:00

helllooooooo =)
anyways, days are getting better and better knowing that bigbig Os is coming,and ending very soon.horray! and it'll be the arrival of lovely christmas.wahaha

have been studying in school for the past few days, doing work and of course, catching up with my dear friends. dropped by redcross training yesterday. nice to see them again! it was indeed heart-warming to see some of them growing and changing for the better, putting in their best in everything that they do even though they might not like it. looking at them simply urge me to go back to help the unit after the Os. wells, we'll just see what happens then.haha

actaully this whole study period isnt as bad as i thought it would be! im acutally beginning to find the joy and satisfaction in it.hahaha. with the strength from the Lord, the encouragement from him, friends being there,haha nothing could be better. love you all!! =)

wenfangs needs it the most, dont you think so.hahaha

2006-10-11T21:21:00.000+08:00

Sometimes when things just dont go your way or if you're feeling down, i think its always nice to turn back, and see your family being always there for you. Havent been feeling too well these days, but my parents sure make me smile. Too much nonsense from them might get a little irritating, but still, i think my parents are simply so cute.haha

Got back our report book today. And i realize, from sec3 term one onwards, every single on of my comments were about cca,red cross, leadership, and the need to prioritize. As usual the comments this term was the same. redcross. But this time was alot more encouraging.So thank you mr chan =)

I got my mummy to sign it when she was sleeping. So basically she didnt really read it carefully.haha but my dad got rather excited and he woke up to examine it.

daddy: are you sure this is yours
me: stares in disgust
Mr Lim's comments: Go for L1R5 less than 8!
daddy: wha crazy he think very easy ah.haha.
turns off the lights.doze off.

that's why i say they're so cute <3

2006-10-09T18:00:00.000+08:00

ok so time really flies, 4 more days left in school. i still remembered how i was screaming for joy when i knew i got into 3E cause almost every single one of my friends got in there too. from both sec1 and 2 classes, from rc, everyone. and now, 4E is just extraordinarily fantastic.
awesome. =)

2006-10-07T09:53:00.000+08:00

These are supposedly actual signs that have appeared at various locations

At my University's Student center Bathrooms: "If you see four feet instead of two under the bathroom door, please notify it immediately to the University Police."

Road sign in Roosevelt, Utah: "Rest Area Next Right" - the next right leads a person right into to a cemetery.

Sign in a cafeteria: "Shoes are required to eat in the cafeteria. In pencil beneath the sign: Socks can eat anyplace they want."

Billboard facing the road in front of a funeral home: "Drive carefully. We'll wait."

Seen in a State Park in California: "Weather Station (A large sign with a Rock hanging on a rope) Check the Rock. If it's wet, it's raining. If it's moving, it's windy. If you can't see it, it's foggy. If rock is gone, it's a tornado."

Notice in a field: THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES

Sign on a repair shop door: We can repair anything. (but please knock hard, the bell dosent work)

it was just yesterday that i caused so much touble at home.opps.haha
beware of where your leg goes when you watch tv people.

i was lying on the sofa and my leg happen to reach out for the tea table.and somehow i started spinning it and i was so amazed that the glass could turn.just like that about 15mins passed and i was still happily spinning it. and suddenly, whooo.there it goes, down onto the floor into a million pieces.

surprisingly my dad didnt kill me,and he cleaned up the entire living room willingly.hahaha

ohwells.3 more days of papers before the horrible terrible awful detestble prelims come to and end.before we know it, we'll be hitting the streets before another round of mugging starts again =)

Selene

2006-09-16T09:22:00.000+08:00

There are a thousand and one ways to studying literature =)

It was a journey of pain, and a series of losses, for the students locked in the classroom that tried to take after the times of Shakespeare.
Krishia, sitting on the high-up and almighty chair, held a position of authority, over us, students, all ready to catch the pearls dropping off her mouth.
A pleasant class --what we wished for. Reality states otherwise.

Krishia's duty had been admonishing, cajoling and browbeating the handful of innocent boys and girls.

N-olas: "H..O..N...O..R..S"
Krishia stares in disgust.

Then came from afar, the groans from a victim of the classroom.
"a long dip in this river, or a finger poked into a snake hold... there are two thousand ways of ending this misery" says Karisa. "Oh, God, send me to those flames at once, how am i going to continue like this, what am i going to do?!"

The old and wise Jwashua heard the ear-piercing cry from Karisa. " oh! if you do not know what you are going to do or not do, who else can? "

At the other end of the room, Sulene could take all these no longer. Being "cowed" by the superior force of Krishia, she fell ill.
" Oh no, its typhoiddd!!!" cried Juane.

"i like tyhoid" Izuak made a ridiculous remark. " shes going to be alright"

Days went on, with all of us monitoring Sulene's condition.
Each time we took her temperature, we watched the mercury rise with a beating heart. Heights of contentment were reached if any good progress was shown. The depths of misery were touched, if he condition showed otherwise,

"oohhhh, its nothing. just apply ice" said Izuak

This went on, and finally, the fateful day arrived.
Krishia drew the blanket over sulene, and placed her on the floor facing the east.

Jwashua cried out in misery "SULENEEEE!!"

After her death, days aquired a perciliar blankness and emptyness. Death and its associate, after the initial shock, produce callousness.

Still, we stayed in the classroom, mugging up shakespeare for the sake of doing so.
Soon we began to realize, life is just but a series of losses and seperation. From the moment we were born, we were seperated from our mother's womb.
We continued with our life, and on the day we were released, it was a moment of rare, immurtalbe joy-- a moment for which everyone feels grateful to life and death, and even grateful to Krishia.

To all those lit-ty people out there, have fun swallowing the book! hahaha
by the way, it was Sulene's birthday yesterday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! =)

2006-09-14T18:59:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I feel like giving up, just throwing in the towel,
When all I feel is pain and doubt, and start to wonder how
I'll ever make it through the day, and through the long, dark night.
But somehow, Lord, You come along, and make everything all right.

No, you don't always remove the pain, but You give me strength to endure.
When I feel Your presence near me, it makes me know for sure
That no matter what may come my way, somehow we'll get through it.
I just lean on You, and do my part, the only way I know to do it.

If I'm grounded in Your Word, Lord, I can see how you've helped others:
For Job, Paul, David and Noah are all my Christian brothers.
Lord, You helped them out, when things looked bleak and dark.
Somehow, they came out better, though they did bear the mark.

The mark that You place on Your servants' hearts, to show we're Yours.
Our having gotten through our trial, show Your strength endures.
It gives us the chance to witness to those who would never hear
The story of how You died for us, despite and sins and fear.

it's been almost one week since the exams started, which means there's only a week left! haha.
study hard everyone and God bless youu! =)

2006-09-12T17:03:00.000+08:00

im happy that social studies is over.everone say yay
i think its stupid that they allocated amaths paper with biology
i hate bunsen burners
the bunsen burner work during bio and chem practicals
carissa is not sitting next to me anymore.you wont see our names on the irregularity-stupid-whiteboard-thing
im starting to like chemisty
my table is messy, messy and really messy

wenfang is a loner
wenfang is violent.she strangled me today,it hurts,mind you
carissa digs out her physics practicals from the toilet bowl
i lost my ruler
im really bored
carissa is irritating
selene's birthday is coming soon
carissa cant draw,but she thinks she can
wenfang promised me that she'll make sushi for me
oh i found my ruler =)

mornings are incomplete without you guys =)
but the ones on my left and right have bad breath
i smell it when they smile

2006-09-10T17:47:00.000+08:00

"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you've collected a lot of empty yesterdays"
-to all that procrastinates =)

the day is near.is coming.is tomorrow.haha

i think we're all too used to having exams and studying that we dont even feel anything now.some time back we realize that before the exams starts,we no longer have the habit of wishing each other "all the best" oh wells we used to do that last time.alot of that in fact.haha.

a few days back i had a dream.we were having physics exam in the hall but we were all copying.so quite alot of our names ended up on the board for that irregularity report thing.huifang and yongzhi made it super obvious, they both popped their heads out of their tables and started discussing. somehow the male examiner was trying to start a video but it didnt work.so i went to the toilet, and when im back i found myself sitting at selene's seat but her paper was on the floor.it was so embarrassing that i had to squirm back to my own seat and pretend that nothing happened. (dont know where selene was)
that was it.after that i went shopping.wahaha

ok that was pretty out of point.anyway tmr's ss, and im so glad its going to be over soon.
chanel: give me 10 reasons why are we studying ss
carissa: i cant even give you two

nonetheless, im sure we'll all do our best! haha =)

time for some interesting features:

*/fangs_ i see a bigger picture_ says:
hey fag! my blog's updated.
*/fangs_ i see a bigger picture_ says:
hahahas. toodles!

do we care? im afraid not, wenfang =)

haha.enough of unsightly names.
another quote i saw to spur you guys on:
"a big shot is a little shot that kept shotting"
no worries,all hard work will be paid off!! =)

smile.

2006-09-09T15:48:00.000+08:00

statement for the day

SOCIAL STUDIES IS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME

dont you agree
urgh.it sucks.

2006-09-07T22:11:00.000+08:00

"The light at the end of the tunnel is the head lamp of an oncoming train"
-quoted from my tutor's msn nickname

haha.no idea why he wrote that,but i've been staring at this sentence for quite some time. dosen't really apply to me actually. still,i guess some situations in life are just like that.

stop the train, get on it =)

come to think of it his wife has been tutoring me since sec1, and him,sec2.haha.with tutors like them, and joa around, it all makes the difference.somehow we always eat and drink alot? and sometimes it might be 4hrs straight,maths after science or the other way round.even so,its still pretty much enjoyable.haha
i guess they've been really patient with us, such impossible students.
so, THANK YOU!! hahaha.

today's mugging session was productive,i must say. too bad the starbucks at holland was like,totally hacked down? haha oh wells.theres still essential brew surviving there.

there's so much that i want to do,yet im feeling so bored and restless now.

anyway,i realize something.im really scared of the cold.haha

and and and..i love my friends =)
what would i do without you guys! wahaha.

hilarious.

2006-09-06T18:35:00.000+08:00

wahaha

all thanks to carissa.that lil "GIRL"
she thought of everything and trust me, the password couldnt have been better.
(carissa you must be gleaming with joy when you read this,right? i know you too well :D )

this whole 4E blogging community's pretty cool i must say.haha.oh wells,everyone needs a life.

i guess it goes the same for everyone,life is simply the-same-all-the-time now,with prelims and Os approaching. haha,still, im pretty much enjoying myself,taking a break once in a while,chilling out with my ever so wonderful friends.
(and carissa says"yea im one of them!" and claims credits to herself)

haha.i think having friends around just makes a whole lot of difference.we're going through the same situation,having fun out of anything and everything.and of course, my family and loved ones! haha.its all going to be over before we know it,and I CANT WAIT.wahaha.

hitting the streets with selene,naomi,and (fill in the blank ,carissa)
nothing could be better =)

meanwhile,its back to reality.its ok,im still happy! wahaha

hmms.went back for bio lessons today,and dropped by rc accred camp with carissa wenfang and nirma. what more can i say,i really missed those days we had in redcross,with the juniors seniors and one another.As i watched the cadets going through the things that i had in the past,there was this indescribable feeling in me.how i wished i could be there with them too. ohwells =)
hope the camp will run smoothly, i'll pray for you guys! have fun! =)

tmr shall be a day of mugging with naomi and carissa.wait and see what happens with carissa-who-brings-nothing-but-disaster around with us.

p.s. carissa! arent you honoured! i mentioned your name like,6 times? hahaha.stop laughing,close your mouth.you have bad breath (in case you didnt know)

2006-09-06T17:28:00.000+08:00
