*|Rain
It's rather late now... just past 2am. Raining outside. Love it when it rains at night. The soft pit patting of raindrops, the smell of damp air due to rain, the silence of the night. If only I can see the round moon from my bedroom window that be great. Haha... Just love it a lot. Very peaceful. Ought to go sleep now but don't feel like sleeping. Wanna chat with friends but of course they are all sleeping liao.

*|Jia You!
I read Sarah's blog. It's really sad and I cried. I really hoped that when the day come when my parents passed away (well, everyone will meet that day, just a matter of time), they are already christians because I can't bear the thought of them dying and not knowing God and being seperated from them eternally. I love my parents but I am not close to them at all. I can't seem to be able to say a thing about Jesus to them. It is really amazing how sometimes you can speak about Jesus and all that to friends but to parents whom you are with all your life, you can't seem to say a word.
I am glad Sarah is brave. If it was me, I be depressed and be crying the whole day. To rely on God and stand up again will be tough if it was me. Treasured your friends and family while they are here because you might lose them anytime. Live life to its fullest in a way that God will like only then I guess is the best way to thank Him for this gift of life. Sarah, don't really know what to tell you except this, JIA YOU and rely on God always. He be there for you and your family always!

*|A ringtone that adult cannot hear
I just read "Digital Life" and saw this article about a high pitched ringtone that adults cannot hear. The technology was first used to drive kids away from stores if they linger for too long but it has been turned into a ringtone that can be used in school that is too high pitched for teachers to detect. Really interesting. Doubt, the adults can't hear, I don't think I really like that ring tone. Goodness it is so high pitched and irritating to the ears. To those who want the ringtone go to this webpage
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/12/technology/12ring.html?ex=1307764800&en=2a80d150770df0df&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss Just click on this link. One thing, it does not work on Nokia 6230. Sad case, when played on the phone, the pitch is lowered somemore. But it does on Samsung, on my brother's hp. Tried that on my mum and it works. Haha

*|Silly stomach
I dunno what's wrong with my tummy. It always ache around 2am plus if I am still awake. I got a feeling it's gastric. That is why I always end up eating late at night if I am still not asleep. I can't think of ay other explanation other than that. If I sleep early, nothing will happen. I won't wake up late in the night because of tummy ache. Sigh... Almost 4am now, stomach growling and very much in pain. Shall go sleep, hopefully the pain goes away. Dun get it, I had such a heavy dinner today and still my stomach is calling for food. Ridiculous. I will not eat junk food! No more eating at night. It's not good. Silly stomach. Why can't it behave properly. Sigh...

*|Birthdays... Spring cleaning
Met up with Yun, Yan, Pit, San and Xiu today. Was celebrating Yun's, Yan's, Pit's and San's belated birthday. Glad they like their presents. Phew... Xiu and me quite stressed. Buying 4 presents not easy. Haha... Think it is best to have a birthday wish list. In that way, your friends will have an easier time shopping for presents but not only that they get to buy something that you really want. Erm... Let me see what do I really want for my birthday. Actually come to think of it, what I really want is really impossible for my friends to buy for me. Haha... Birthday wish (1) Learn ballet (2) Learn hip hop dance (3) Learn piano (4) Learn ice skating (5) See meteor shower (6) Tour the world. Haha... Ok like me think of something buyable erm... "Take the lead" DVD, beautiful jigsaw puzzle, more clothes. Oh... One thing, we went to the Balcony at Hereen, dun ever go there, LOUSY SERVICE!
Spring cleaning my room now. My room really really really in need of a massive clean up. And lots of my stuffs are collecting dust and I meant that literally. Really quite slack at home. But I like it, can relax and all that :p Better continue cleaning.

*|Huay Hok Mission Trip - insects!!!
Ting say I didn't really blog much about my trip and she is right, I didn't. I can't seem to get to blogspot website so I am now typing here in Microsoft words first, later then copy and paste. Haha. Anyway, all I did talk about was the food and talkshow. One thing, we always feed Adidas (a black and white dog which we adopted for that stay in Huay Hok only) with bones. Adidas is really cute. Wish I had a dog.
Anyway I remember my first night there, I was so scared so the insects, keep hearing something fluttering at the area with the plastic bags which is only less than 1m from my feet. I was so scared that I zipped myself up in the sleeping bag. Heard from Li Hui next morning that each time an insect sound is heard, it be accompanied by the zipping of the sleeping bag sound. Haha... But it got real hot and in the middle of the night, I unzipped the sleeping bag. Oh I got woken up by this really strange loud noise that is really very much unbearable. It is so loud like someone blasted the tv and it is really very piercing. I thought it sounded like a razor blade or something but of course I knew it was the sound of AN... shall emphasize again... AN (just one only) insect. I heard Jia Ling waking up and asking Li Hui if it was an insect cos she thought it sounded like someone is using the chain saw. It is really that bad, can't believe that an insect can actually make that type of sound and it is probably above us flying about judging from the crazy loudness.
Through out the whole trip, I jumped about well it is because of insects. The funny thing about daddy long legs is that they absolutely love going to Pei Shi's sleeping bag, dunno why. As for me, my sleeping bag area is like a dead insect cemetery. Guess cos the mosquito coil is placed just above my pillor on the floor so any insect that comes near die of smoke ON MY SLEEPING BAG. GROSS! Every morning had to flick my sleeping bag.
Another insect incident happened during church worship in the evening. The pastor wife said she to Li Hui that she wanted to give her something but Li Hui asked after a while if it was an insect and indeed it is. A FIREFLY without wings. In the end, Zi Xuan took it and its butt is still glowing. Really pretty, too bad it is an inset dun dare to touch it at all. Oh and another thing happened when we were there but on a different day, we were halfway through praise and worship I think or was it a sermon when this really really huge bug landed on me. I was so freaked out, I flicked it off my leg immediately but never did I thought I flicked it by accident to Zi Xuan and it started crawling on her pants. It took her quite a while to flick it off her pants to the floor. It is disgustingly huge but we can't really do much then cos it is a church service and so there should not be any disturbances. I was so scared but good thing the lady behind us saw how scared I was and kicked the insect away to another area of the floor far away from me. IT'S SO SCARY. It is damn huge and oval, about the size of a NOKIA 6230 keypad area.
Anyway we found out tat the really super loud insect that we heard on the first day is some kind of insect that the people living there in Huay Hok eat during winter time. That is if the information I heard is not wrong. I can't imagine myself eating it. Anyway, there was this time when we were in our room and this really big bug came flying in. Good thing the pastor's brother was there in our room. You know what he did, he took his guitar, aim at the insect. The insect fainted and landed on Hwee Min's bed. After which he took hold of it, bring it outside of our room and whacked it dead with the slippers. It was then thrown on the ground. Well, guess what I saw the next morning, the chickens feeding on it. Free and easy meal. Haha. This whole trip, the insects are a big problem to me because I really am scare of them but I thank God for helping me make it through. Now I am not as scare of them as I was before.
Oh I forget one thing, this really big cricket like insect invaded our room and crawled on Jia Ling I think. And good thing Jia Ling felt it and so it was captured and brought outside. Oh and on the last morning, Zi Xuan and I we found a squashed daddy long legs in our bed, below our sleeping bag. We shared one twin mattress. Anyway the spider is squashed, it looked really funny. You could have used it for a bookmark. Basically it looks like a small flattened ball with long untra thin sticks (legs) sticking out of the round black body. Haha. Just on insect alone got so much thing to write.
Oh I almost forget about my encounter with the ants. We were climbing the mountains with children and one of the girl when to get this flower for me but the thing is that flower is wrapped up and when u peeled the "petals" open, OH MY GOSH, you see a swarm of black ants crawling all over the white flower. But the kids they didn't bother, they just hit and shake the flower till the ants are all on the ground and so that is what the girl did. But she forgot one thing, she pulled the stem down to get the flower and after she plucked the flower she released the stem and cos of that sudden motion, the ants fell from the branch on ME! I had to jump about wildly to shake off all the ants. Good thing it wasn't a lot of ants but still I rather they not fall on me. I am sure you get what I mean.
For now, this is all I can remember of my insect moments, shall write more when I remember. But for now, I shall stop blogging here. This entry is just way too long for me to continue any further. Haha. NIGHT!
