i don't know if its coincidence or what, the song You Raise Me Up just started playing on my media player.
i was feeling really crappy
seconds minutes hours earlier.
i don't know why this song made me feel slightly better.
i guess life will have mountains and stormy seas.
i still want to cry though.
and no ballad songs for me, they make me feel worse.

I haven't blogged here for really really long.
i don't know, managing 2 blogs seemed harder than i imagined.
anyway went out for dinner tonight with my cell group at Holland Village.
We had dinner over at Burger King's, before moving on to Cold Rock for icecream.
Melissa treated for desert, thanks (:
rented games, played Pictionary and Taboo.
Had loads of fun laughing, guessing, getting hyper.
and after Galvin came, we played abit more before chatting.
The chat was... interesting. lol.
anyway took bus back on my own.
actually i was kinda in a mood to walk back, cause its been really windy these days.
ahhh...i like the breeze (:

just wondering..
how do you tolerate noisy neighbours?
i understand its Christmas and all, but its 3AM.
PEOPLE WANT TO SLEEP.
So would it kill you to not blast your mega hi-5 sound system?
goshhh. its freaking noisy.
and to think people complain about a little noise after 10.30pm, whats 3am then?

I went for candlelight service in church tonight.
As Samantha Leong, Nerine and Tim were involved with Children's Ministry Stuff, and most of my cell group had other plans, it was left with only me and JunBin.
So yeah, we sat together for the service.
Anyway watching the little kids carolling, we started thinking back about the last time we did carolling.
Which happened to be like, back in P6, which was like 7 years ago.
We were even singing most of the same songs.
And that year, it was the last christmas celebration in the old church building.
7 years.
we graduated primary school, secondary school, entered jc and poly, and for Junbin, graduated jc and entered army.
But yet those 7 years seemed not so long ago.
I cant remember everything fully, i can only remember bits and pieces.
and looking back, it only shows how time has flown by so fast, and how we're getting older and older.
Would it hurt to be a kid again.. just for one day?

i just realised i blogged briefly on livejournal, but i never really blogged here about my trip to Malaysia. lol.
THURSDAY. 18th.I left home in the afternoon with my mom and sister, we took a cab to Harbour Front where we were supposed to board the coach. Got our tickets, ate at Yoshinoya, before finally boarding the bus at 1.30pm. Took us about 1 hour to get to Singapore customs, managed to clear both sides really quickly. Then boarded the bus again, and they served the food and stuff. The fish was nice, and so was the veggies. I didn't really like the BeeHoon though. too tasteless. lol. After that slept for most of the journey while listening to the mp3.
5 hours later, we reached KL. and there was a traffic jam. Anyway Uncle Peter picked us up outside Corus Hotel, and drove us to his house. More traffic jams again, before we finally reached his house in Subang Jaya. Its really pretty and nice. He also has a dog called Prince, its a golden retriever puppy which is really adorable and hyper. lol. Aunty Julie and Mary Anne welcomed us, we put down our stuff before driving to a nearby coffee shop for dinner. The food was really nice too. After dinner we drove back to the house, showered, and chatted while watching tv, then went to sleep.
FRIDAY. 19th.I managed to sleep pretty well, unlike my mom and sister. Anyway the next morning we got up, and Uncle Peter took us to somewhere nearby for breakfast, before dropping Mary Anne at a relative's place and delivering some documents for a client. After that, he dropped us at 1utama shopping centre, before going off to work.
we shopped for the whole day until my legs wanted to break. I brought a tee, a checkered blouse, and a checkered dress. i like the dress, its really pretty. Maybe i'll wear it for Chinese New Year. Then went to a chinese restaurant for dinner, before heading back to Uncle Peter's house. Was watching 101 dalmations downstairs until it was really late, then we went upstairs to sleep.
SATURDAY. 20th.Saturday morning, kinda wanted to sleep in a little. Anyway got woken up by my mom who went downstairs early. Apparently prince (the dog), tried to squeeze in through the gate, and ate my mom's tissue on the floor. she was calling Auntie Julie to come down and get the dog out. lol.
Auntie Julie took us nearby for prata, before driving us to Sunway to shop. Didn't buy much today, there wasn't alot of variety. Plus, i was pretty knocked out, complained alot. At the end of the day, we sat down at delifrance for a drink before Auntie Julie drove down to pick us up.
Went back to the house, and played with prince for awhile. He playfully bit my arm -.-
and i noticed, he'll come up to you, lick you, then bite. lol. afterawhile i had enough of him biting me so i decided to go in the house. He's so energetic, keeps running around non-stop.
drove out to a peranakan (sp?) restaurant for dinner. Had loads of food, i really liked their butter prawns. if only Singapore had. lol.
after dinner drove back to the house, bathed and while everyone was watching tv downstairs, i went upstairs and knocked out. When my sis came up, she said i was snoring away >< whatever, i dont snore. lol.
SUNDAY. 21st.Woke up early, Uncle Peter drove us to the bus pick up point. Waited awhile for the bus, then boarded and said goodbye to uncle Peter.
i managed to get a bit of sleep at first, then breakfast was served, so i woke up to eat. After finishing the drinks and everything, i went back to sleep again.
about 4hrs later, reached Malaysia customs. Cleared, went to SG customs. Since we used the express lane, we ended up being the first few on board the bus. Waited for the rest before reading back.
About 1hr later reached harbour front, met daddy, then went for lunch. And daddy drove us home. lol. but yeah, loads of unpacking to do, and unpacking isn't one thing i like.
i wanna go up to Genting next! Any friends wanna go up together?

i am back from church camp.
left earlier than planned, due to the last minute trip to KL.
I scraped my nail polish while setting up games yesterday, and now i have to redo them.
sianess, i have no idea if i can make it even again.
but games went quite okay, except they lasted shorter than i expected?
God really does work miracles, provided you ask him.
Last night, while praying with Sam, i asked him to let me be able to bond with my students, especially the guys.
The IMM trip really gave me a good opportunity.
They maybe cheeky and all, but they're really sweet.
As for the girls, they're sweeter. and its easier to chat with them cause we always seem to have the same topics to talk about.
i really hope that the camp made some kinda impact for them? Cause it sure did for me. Its too bad i couldn't stay until the end.
Anyway tomorrow i'm heading for KL until the weekend's over, mostly to visit relatives and shop. Eheheh im planning to buy LOADS of stuff, until my baggage is full. Its only half full at the moment anyway.
so yeah, i guess i'll blog on the trip after i get back (:

i should watch where i click, i almost posted this on the BA_COMM blog by accident.
anyway exams are finally over!
but with all the post exam activities, my bank account is suffering badly.
after our SoM paper on Tuesday, me, daniel, jacinta, siow suan, zhixing, erica officially declared post exam mood and went to Daniel's house to eat and play. I kinda made a spur of the moment decision and decided to sign up for BTT. So yeah got my test book and a date on 22nd Jan. Like that, about 15bucks gone.
Thursday, post exam i went out with the TB32 people to Seoul Garden for a buffet lunch. Ate until i was super full and wound up with indigestion, spent like 12+bucks on the food. Then went to esplanade rooftop to take photos, and shop at marina. Got myself a chain, another 12+ bucks. And i later realised i got the wrong chain too. but im not planning on getting a new one any longer, im seriously out of cash.
Friday, or today. went out with stella, weichen, puiki and samantha leong to catch bolt. one movie later, 6 bucks gone. The movie was nice and sweet though, i really liked it. Then headed down to faith for practice, before going out for dinner with Tim, Samantha, Nerine, Bon and Lynette at Cafe Cartel. Ate until quite late and wound up spending 13bucks cabbing home from town. Thankfully, no midnight charge yet or gg to me.
Anyway good news, my application for IBSM is successful, but i only know 1 or 2 people that were accepted inside. And to think i was freaking out when i didn't get the call. Still deciding whether to accept the offer or withdraw out, i haven't told my parents yet. On top of that, i passed my ief common test! can say im safe since she didnt send me the 2nd email. ahahah.
But bad news, my external hard drive got some errors and screwed up. Now i have to send it for servicing. damn.
