*|Posters
Jing Ting's mum told me something and I am really happy about it. I did posters for her a few months ago and well... it went really well and guess what, they are hiring me for the next poster job. Woo Hoo... She already told me to get ready for next job... Now she is looking for the information and stuff like that. But what makes me happier is that someone else, dunno it is a client or patient or whoever it is saw my work and asked Jing Ting's mum who did it. The person is interested in getting my contact but Jing Ting's mum didn't give cos she doesn't know if I mind a not. Actually I am busy with school work so I don't really wanna do posters or wadsoever now but the fact that someone else wants to hire me... I am very happy :D
I better go practice my piano now. Lots of homework to do recently and I better do my QT. Staying oernight in school and stuff somehow always distracts me from doing QT. I dun wanna drift away from God. Must always come back to him. Keeping on track wth Jesus in good times and bad is the only way to finish life and face eternity with few regrets. I want to live my life for God and if it means having to give up certain stuffs for Him, so be it. God is mroe important than anything else.

*|Poem
On Sunday, Wei Zong shared this small poem during Oikos and I really like it. Here is how it goes...
People are often unreasonable,
Illogical and self-centred;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
You will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
Some could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Be good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
And it will never be enough;
Give the world the best you're got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It is never between you and them anyway.
Really love this poem. I dun wanna talk about it now. Really tired... It's like 219am and I have to wake at 645am. Better go sleep now. Night!

*|Recently...
So many things happen recently (can't believe what I typed... I initially typed Some many things recently happened... whoa what type of English is that??? SUPER BROKEN!). Have been staying overnight in school at lot just to do homework. Actually I kinda like doing homework in school because in the middle of the night can climb up the rooftop garden and lie down on the stars and watch the stars and it's really beautiful. I did that yesterday and I feel aslept on the grass for a few minutes. It's so cooling and quiet up there. Love it!
Recently I boughta cd and a book. Cd is Stream of praise vol 10. Really like the songs in there and I got myself a book that I saw. You wouldn't have believed me if I told you where I found the book. It was under the children's storybook section at Borders and I found this book "Children's letters to God". The things the kids wrote to God... are really funny. Can tell some of them are really innocent and some are really mature for such a young age. Really love this book. Had a great laugh on each page. I think I wanna go share it with my friends in church. Hee hee. This book really reminds me of my god niece and god nephews. Went over to my godmother house today and Ah Xiang was so cute. He came running to me and flung himself on me and hugged me. AR... SO CUTE!!! Haha did some helicopter lifts or wadever it is called, basically I swing him around many times. He find it fun but at the end of it, I find my back aching! HE IS HEAVY!!! Haha and I am getting older. LOL... Ah Xiang and Yi Xuan never fail to make my day with just a smile. Haha
I like school. SO FUN! and yet so stressful but at least I am doing something that I like. Was so tired today after staying overnight for 2 nights that I didn't go for the ice skating welcome tea. Too tired to go. Have to practice on my keyboard too since tomorrow got piano lesson and my teacher she is good at telling whether one has practice anot so I ended up practicing like crazy just now. can't blame me, there is no piano in sch for me to use and practice on. Sigh... I better go do conceptual design homework. Fell so bad not doing a single thing about it cos I was doing animation homework all the time. Got to go do homework liao!
Oh I lose my water bottle again at canteen 2 I think.Sigh... doubt I be able to get it back :( Jing Ting is going away to Canada this coming Tuesday. I am going to miss her badly. Jing Ting, TAKE CARE!!! Don't forget your good friend here who is stuck in Singapore. Haha... God take care of Jing Ting for us! :D

*|Phew... wasn't injured. Thank God!
Thank God I didn't injure myself. If I did, I would have to send myself to the hospital and my parents would have been worried and angry over the incident. Well, I was looking through all the equipments at home and well I was holding on to a scissors. It's not a pair of normal scissors, those light type. It is those heavy metal type and the blade is kinda rusty. I dropped it and thank God, really have to thank God, I was alert and my immediate reaction when it dropped was to move my right feet backwards up and away. If I didn't do that, the scissors would have gone through my feet. Goodness, I really should be more careful around all these stuffs especially since I am always playing with wire and wire cutters and all those sharp equipment. Very accident prone. Really have to thank God for this. Phew!
At home right now, looking for materials for my stop motion. I am going to love building the set. haha... so fun!!! My home has a lot of ridiculous but rather useful stuff. That is cos I keep them in secret place without my mother knowing. If she knew she would have made me throw them away. Haha... time to bring out my hidden "treasures". I love climbing high and low, digging through cupboards. Use to do that when I was a little kid. I would wake up in the morning at around 7-8am plus while everyone is still sleeping and take the chair from the store room and look at the contents in the cupboards. Or I do that when my mum takes a nap in the afternoon. You wouldn't have believed what I found... lots of old old photos and some really old toys, decoration stuff etc. Hee hee... till now my parents don't that I did that. But I no longer do that. Well, that's cos the contents in those cupboards are still about the same. Can't chat, time to go find fabric! Hee hee... I LOVE THE PEACFUL AFTERNOON!!! I LOVE MY LIFE! I LOVE MY FRIENDS! And I am going crazy liao. Haha

*|BBQ OUTING WITH CHURCH FRENS!
Last Sunday, went out with my church friends. We went to Sembawang park. It has been a really really long time since all of us went out together. Haha... We had our BBQ all day long. Shao Cheng's chicken wing is FANTASTIC! Yummy!!! Oh and I help make our BBQ speciality - hot melted chocolate and marshmellows with banana. LOVE IT! SUPER SUPER GOOD! I can't remember when was the first time I ate it. Think it was Pei Shi who first let me tried it but no matter what, it's really great and I mean it and the thing is, it's easy to do! Through out the whole BBQ, both the Jing Tings are sitting there, ended up serving them food! Aiyo both of them lazy pigs!!! They are lucky I don't mind serving people at all. In fact, I love doing it.
We played captain ball after that. IT WAS SO FUN! Haha I was the slacker... didn't do much running except only when I have to. Haha... Good thing was the opponent team, well, no one was marking me so I was always open and the ball came my way! WOO HOO! Free to run about. It's a really great game and my team won with the help of the tree. I can't help but laughed just thinking about it. All the ridiculous things that happened during the game and yet the ball was caught by the catched. LOL! I think I am pretty much out of shape, need to exercise more but with the time I spend in school, hardly have time to exercise.
And then at night, Zhou and Chen and Sia family stayed back late. Haha basically it means, Min, Shan, Sheng, Qian, Min's fren, my brother and I stayed till late at night and we played some of our childhood games. Oh and we got xiao wei, xiao guang, yi ping and shao cheng too... nearly forgot these adults. They did join us in the game and it was a blast. I suck at one game... totally suck at it. This chinese game where ur fren beside you will say 3 chinese words and then you will have to say it frim back to front. I super cannot make it in that game. Haha
Oh and through out the whole BBQ, I was playing with Goofy, the dog on my msn display picture. I reminds me of the dogs that I used to play it when I was really young like 3 years old or sth. 6 in total, really cute. I always dream of uniting with them one day. Haha but what are the odds that they are still alive and if they are alive... How would they recognise me and me recognise them after like over 10 years.
ARGH!!! Super late... oh well 12 midnight liao but I have to go sleep. Think I am going to fall ill soon because I didn't rest enough and drink enough water and I hardly eat. Busy until didn't eat. I really need someone to drag me away from work and stuff for meals. Sigh... Think I might get a fever soon. Saw the redness of my cheeks and it's not the usual redness. Is always redder when I am about to fall ill. Sigh... ahll stop blogging and go practice on my keyboard then sleep or maybe I skip practicing. early day tml! yawn! I think I go sleep instead. NIGHT!
(P.S. Bao Juan welcome back to Singapore. Miss you a lot!)

*|Fireworks
Anyway I have finally watched all the fireworks of the firework festival 2006. Let me see... the one chereographed by Italy is really not bad. I watched it after the Ubin trip. I remembered it being really dynamic and loud. The finale of it was FANTASTIC! It's like a really big waterfall and instead of fading away, the sparks or wadever it is continue to drift down for quite a long long while. Really great! But the fireworks done by Singapore team. I think its really really messy!!! Especially the finale... They just starting throwing out all the fireworks that they have. Not really a good ending. Anyway went to watch the one done by New Caledonia and WOW I LOVE IT! It really had that tranquil feeling... rather serene. Especially the part with those mini waterfalls. As for today, it's not bad too. Haha I am really bad at describing fireworks. You just have to be there to see it. I can't blog anymore, have to go sleep. It's almost 340am and I got church later in the morning.

*|Pulau Ubin!
I havn't been blogging lately since school started.as really busy even though it is the first week of school. Anyway I went with my friends to Ubin. Lets see, there was Ellen, Jasmine, Jit, Jeff, Jot, Royston, Keat Hock (dunno how to spell his name) and me. Really had a wonderful time in Ubin. I really love it there. But I think everytime I go cycling there, I become a danger to those around me. Oops... I don't really control my bicycle. I dunno why but the gear I am at seems too easy to ride on. Dun feel myself straining to keep the bicycle going. And I don't like it when vechicles come up or behind me cos I will always start to panic a bit then I will start to lose control over it. Almost got into an accident once at Ubin, not the time when I was with Ellen they all. It was with my church frens. They probably dunno this cos they didn't see it I think. I nearly collide into the van coming up front buy manage to stop at the side of the road for it to pass. If I had not try to calm myself down, I would have just hit the van straight ahead. I really am a danger when I am on a bicycle.
Anyway was riding through the forest when we came across some monkeys plucking durians!!! They threw the durians on the floor and we took one. It was really really good. Nice, warm, rich and creamy! YUMMY! Of course we had to watch out for flying durians. People usually say durians have eyes but somehow I don't think monkeys have them. I don't mean that literally. The monkeys won't bother to look who is standing below before throwing. So glad none of the monkeys came after us for taking their durians. Phew!
Our second round of durians came when the guys passed by this area and they smelled durians! LOL Thier nose must be really sensitive. I only smelt it when I walked into the forest and not while I was on the road. And so we had another round of yummy durian at this temple.
And Ellen brought us to this special part of the quarry and it was amazing! The water is so turquiose! The rocks and trees and all that... It was amazing! I love it a lot. It's like walking through some forest in some European country. Really really beautiful. It's God's creation so of course it is such a wonder. I wanna show Ophe the place before she goes overseas to study for 6 years. It be long and I miss her. 6 years of not seeing her, it's going to be hard. Guess I can always email her but it be weird not getting to see her every Sunday. Oops very off topic liao. Anyway, I was going to say if you look hard enough, you will find that Singapore is really a beautiful country to live in. Maybe it is does not have mountains or splendid forests or waterfall, but it sure does have its own beauty. :D Love Ubin a lot!

*|Scared
Church frens, if you are reading this. Please do not say it out. Please don't tell anyone what happen. My godmother would not like it if her incident is being spreaded around church.
I was so scared just now. Had a call from my god sister in law that my godmother fainted. At that time I was still working in school. It was only when I got a call from my mother that they are sending my godmother to hospital that I started getting really worried.
God gave me peace in my heart and I knew that nothing bad will happen. But the thought of losing someone so important in my life made me break down in tears. When I told Ellen that I was not joining them for dinner and that I was going to hospital instead, I nearly broke down but I had to control my tears. I can't break down in front of them. Guess that was why I really wanna catch the 199 bus. I suddenly just ran across the road but of course, I did checked that there was no incoming vehicle but I missed the bus. Think back now, I didn't even say goodbye to them before running off to the 179 bus stop. Kinda relieved that I have done that because I could no longer hold back my tears. I really wanted a shoulder to cry on but part of me knew it was better that I didn't have any, it will only made me weaker and cry even harder and longer.
My godmother is too important to me. Since the day when I was 1 years old, she was the one looking after me from morning to night. The only time I saw my parents was when they bring me back home to bed. I am very blessed to have 2 mothers. If I were to lose any of them, I be sad but will be ok eventually cos I know I see them in heaven someday. Well not them, only my godmother. My mother still does not believe in Jesus and I praying that she will one day. I don't wanna lose my mother for eternity. As for my godmother, it wasn't her first time she fainted. This was her second. The first time she fainted, her heart stop twice while she was in the ambulance. Thank God they were able to bring her back.
While I was there, I saw this family. They were sad and cried and I guess that their mother was in a really serious condition. Then they were called into the counselling room and this time the whole family including the relatives were in tears. Their sorrow, their tears, their cries, really broke my heart and I almost teared along with them. As for my godmother, she is ok for now. The doctors still can't tell wad's wrong. She must have fainted and vomitted for a reason and that's why they are doing a blood test now. The doctor say the results will be significant and it will take 2hrs around 12 midnight. God, please heal my godmother. Please do. Thank you for the peace you placed in my heart.

*|Memories...
Today went to work in school and it was a blast. work is only fun when it is combined with play. Haha... We had to clear the boxes from the 3rd floor open mac lab and we ended up piling them up and pushing to the staircases. After that, we just pushed the whole lot down the stairs and watched it tumbled down before we start kicking at those boxes that are caught along the stairs railing. It was really fun! It was tiring... imagine from 3rd floor to basement one but wow it was a blast actually. Love it. I am ok with school but ADM is the one and only school I am always excited about. I guess it is because of friends there and it is really what I love and what God wants me to study. One big thanks to God for putting me there.
Anyway went to pick Jia Hui up at airport and she was talking about her Mongolia trip and when she showed us the letter that a girl wrote to her, it reminded me of Li Jun, a girl from Huay Hok village who I met during the mission trip. In her letter she told me that she will miss me and will not forget me and that she believes in God. Though I remembering saying that I go Huay Hok next May/June, but with all the stuff going in school, I wonder if next year hols, I will have time for a mission trip. But I guess no matter whether I go there again a not, I definitely be able to meet those kids up in heaven one day because we are all children of God. And one day, we be up there in our Father's home. I be waiting for that day. Guess while I am still here on Earth, I wanna make as many memories as I can, keep them in my heart cos they are things that will last forever.
Grins... ok now shall go sleep. Still feeling a little giddy but it's getting better. Had been a bit giddy since late evening. Think I really should go sleep. Can't wait for school to start :D NIGHT!

*|Drowsy
I wasted my whole afternoon by sleeping. Not that I can help it, it's cos of the stupid medicine. It made me drowsy and it is not 1 tablet that has drowsy effect but 2! I have 2 different medicine that have drowsy effect. I just ate my medicine about an hr ago. And well now though I am blogging, I am kinda spacing out at the same time, getting drowsy again. Half asleep, half awake. can't remember why I came here to blog in the first place.
I wanna change my blog... so boring but don't feel like doing it. Cos it's tedious!!! Dun like to go through all the HTML code and now it's so not the right time, wif me being drowsy and all that. Just saw my wishlist and well, one down. I did watch the sunrise! Saw it at Huay Hok and it was the best sunrise ever! I was above the clouds and I mean it literally. From where I was standing when I was watching the sunrise, the clouds were way below me and then the sun rise up bit by bit. Thw whole sky changed colour gradually and it was really mesmerising. From a reall dark blue to a rich colour of orange, red, pink and purple. It was just so amazing. I love God's creation a lot. They are so filled with beauty and God's love. That sunrise was my very first sunrise and the most beautiful of all.
Guess I really should stop here, very drowsy!!!
