anyway debbie is a really special person to me. we were from the same sec sch, we share the same humour (great plus point for me heh), we're ard the same height, great sense of humour, lovable smile, mature when needed....etc etc... :) 'okokokok let's play blind mice!', 'get into the car robin!' , ' OK!' , ''convertible' bus' etc etc.......................

i am here for i am sad. but whatever, it's time wasting to be sad man :( and energy zapping.

i'll try my best nvr to be late again. not for trg, for outings, for meeting with friends, nothing!

anw i dreamt abt someone really unexpectedly ,sad dream. and when i woke up, things went back to normal .but then i felt tears roll down when i blinked. it was scary man...but it felt nice.... =/

in some sense. maybe because crying is a sign of sadness. sadness is an emotion. i've been void of real emotions for a long time.

happyness is an emotion, and i'm glad God gave us such an emotion, that i've experienced.but it isnt like...sincerely happy? i rmb going to tanglin one night w daddy and rach and ryan and slping jan! cos daddy wanted to show ryan the 'snow' (foam in sg). but by e time we went there, the snow stopped its productions. so then we just played with the remains for a while, washed our feet then went back. daddy kena sa-man. hahaha. i was happy that night.cos daddy then drove us to orchard and we walked along....... the fountain place in orchard. ha i cant rmb the name now.but it's somewhat like 'Suntec City'. i'll edit that later. but anw there were many performances, lights :D, and all things fun. and the best part, i knew no one! so i became really annoying:D and janell piggybacked me!!! hehheh.it was really fun. i pgb her too so it was fair and sq.i like such random family outings. i'd love it more if she came willingly and played along with us stupidly too.

yup, okay the place is Takashimaya. =p . such is the life man...not one of rushing from one activity to the next, like how my life is now.

and btw, i'm trying to find my fit in religion again. okay not really religion. but more of relationship with God. they say christianity aint religion but a relationship yes? yup, so that.... i'm finding no rush though =x just praying and asking Him to do it in His time. (somehow i feel like i'm distorting His words. ah well.. running tmr)

Title : All I Want For Christmas Is Us
-----------------
what to get the girl who has everything
all i want for christmas is you
heres my list i checked it twice
wasnt good wasnt bad
i was naughty & nice
i've had my eye on you all year long
now i know for sure
wouldn't even have to try you on
no need for gift return

it's gonna be a cold winter
but i wont need the heat to keep me warm
as long as you wrap yourself around me
on christmas morning
and weather its now or later
as long as its before you go
my love is always in your favour
and now you know that all i want for christmas

sweet like a candy cane hanging from the tree
i will stripe you red & green
when you hit me like a sugar rush
dont care for the other stuff
this season, you're all that i need
they say that wishing for you
is like wishing for snow in california
but you know that i could prove them all wrong
cause my love is true i simply adore ya

it's gonna be a cold winter
but i wont need the heat to keep me warm
as long as you wrap yourself around me
on christmas morning
and weather its now or later
as long as its before you go
my love is always in your favour
and now you know that all i want for christmas

i can say that ive been good all year
im makin' resolutions to get you here
and if it means being better than whatever no sweat
well i bet my halls that i deck for the cause
& santa clause, he knows what my intentions are
even dismissin' misletoe so i can get to know ya
first of all we're singing oh my god
you're the reason that i decorate my yard

it's gonna be a cold winter
but i wont need the heat to keep me warm
as long as you wrap yourself around me
on christmas morning
and weather its now or later
as long as its before you go no
my love is always in your favour
now you know that all i want for christmas
all i want for christmas is us

:):):):) aww i love their voices and the way they sing.....

blessed christmas everyone!

and happy happy birthday to daddy :)thanks churchies for coming over to celebrate bday with daddy.i dont know if my dad's happy cos real men like daddy dont show feelings so freely.but i feel so pleasantly surprised and touched and O.O this cant be for me!for my daddy when he walked in from the kitchen and was greeted by his kids' church friends singing bday song for him.

happy bday weeteck and natalie too!

go watch prettyman and mraz sing that song !

:) when i dont think abt the blacks but abt the whites, all i can do is smile :)

i want to be a good and happy girl next yr.

i heard this from somewhere... about great achievements, great love, great passion, great etc , they all require great effort . and what else ?icant rmb hahaha. i'm going to debbie's for christmas party ! kevin's. derek's. renee's. i'm going to (aunt) renee's for christmas party! oh my next time i shld totally organise a party and pple can say ,' i'm going to tiffany's for dinner'.

Love is when-

When my mom makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.

When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more.

I stood,
and then I went back.
Is this what I want it to be?
Is this meant to be?

I danced the tango, I skipped to the beat.
I was happy, satisfied-
until you came into my life.
You threw the rope at me, you spun me around, you tripped me.

Anxious, surprised, I quicken my steps
Aroused, startled, I moved with you.
No, i could not have stopped
for the show has to go on,
the show has to go on...

Is this what I want it to be,
is this meant to be?

I stretched, I shouted, I breathe.
I am happy, I don't believe it.
I am happy; I feel happier.
I screamed for joy, you stood there
miles away and smiled in content

That smile...so enchanting
it left me desiring to see more of it
But the crowd calls for us,
They cheer, they call for encores
A good show put up indeed

To you i look at, Hey there
In white and a hat
I took a step back,
Your soul, to me you bare

Lack of amibition and drive
Am i prepared to go the distance?
To forgo my tea?
Oh, sir, i wish you never left...
I wish I stood up for what my childhood's dreams were

Is this what I want it to be?
is this meant to be?
No, she's right.
It's eventually for me,
to put it properly-

For His Kingdom's cause
When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.

it's 12 now. took that long to write this thinggamini.and they dont mean anything .just random phrases plucked from the lit-deprived mind, inspired by random prose read throughout the night, put down to words things.

Spoken to her, she is fine with, but she list 2 conditions:

- must be grand, as this is her 80 birthday.

on my grandma's 80th bday ,1st jan (so cool right :D) i love her so much. we're like buddies now! last time i was scared of her.

okay so anyways. i'm leaving for genting tmr to fri with family.and ahma and wai po.okay that's it. i'm going crazy tonight.

went to pasir ris shopping mall tdy.quite an interesting place. thanks =p and i ran at kallang tdy. OH MY GOODNESS YES. well, so from e last incident(like 12mths ago or so), i've started looking down a lot more agn when i run. and this time.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. IT WAS like this ko-mo-do dragon thing.or isit lizard? it was huge. but it's in the shape of a lizard. THE HEAD.was freaking cut off or sth. damn grossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. grosser than stepping in mud. no not cut off. like, sliced off but not entirely so the head is connected to the body by the last bit of meat.blood. stray strings (or maybe you call it arteries or whtever). sick. and i was actly looking at the natl stadium at that time. thankfully i saw the thing, move away and not let beautiful shoes touch them. this thing is 2 times worse than e dead bat .

okay i'm gonna end off here. i think i know why i'm feeling so jittery and trying to do everything now like it's the last day of my life !cos i'm very scared i wont make it back to sg. it's this really strong feeling, predominant. maybe cos of thad. ah whatever. till then !

Life and A Cup Of Coffee

Hi

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar......and the coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them intothe jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf ball are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else--the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18 holes.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a cup of coffee with ur friend."

just finished Three weeks with my brother by nicholas sparks. hes truly one very admirable man. i dont know if i wanna recommend this book... to people that feel that their lives are so screwed up and meaningless and all that, if you read this book, my you'd be so ashamed at yourself because what you're going through is nothing compared to what nicholas went through!(at least for myself)

then theres the other spectrum, people who read it that gets affected easily..or if you just do have a conscious really. you feel really sad for nicholas and his brother, micah. feel so sad that they have to go through so much and maybe cant help it but cry.

it's painful to hear how much someone has to go through.

am talking with nicole (on, hear this, msn) and wow, shes such an optimistic girl really. she's looking forward to christmas cos it's coming--her tone just says it all... i was thinking, but no i'm not looking forward to it. heck, im not even looking forward to each day. because that'll mean one day nearer to start of hols, one day nearer to a levels.i'm not ready for that. but time just goes no matter what you're feeling and hey might as well just go with the flow ay? oh well, no point staying upset yeah man, shes right, no point dreading a new day. since time won't go against science and days will just roll by, might as well be happy and live it to the best !

let me share with y'all sth. mg prefect 06 created some yahoo acct for easy communications. and now that its 07, i guess the acct is kinda forsaken.but recently, i've been receiving a lot of mails from that acct. apparently there are users in mgpb06 like Lovely Kurdi and Mad Girl (or sth) and they keep sending us random emails. just like that story i pasted above.. and it's rather cool so i read all of those emails though they spam my inbox. one email can be on some cool art, another on some life lesson etc. just serves as a reminder to my rather busy life. these lessons actly tie in (more or less lah... here and there) with some christian teachings so yes, it's cool.

so in response to what i've just learnt from nicole, i cant wait for camp! :)

this is a milestone in my life. 281107 went to the dentist by self . rather eventful i must say

it was raining cats, dogs and rats, it was raining reallllly heavily. no umbrella in possession so had to run from one shelter to the next. my journey there was splattered with random sparks of bright light that blinded my vision then thunders so loud that had a lasting ringing sound in my head. twas scary man...dude i was alone!thought thunder monster was gonna strike me while i was all alone to fend for myself. ( i sound like i hate being alone. no not true. i rather be alone than with pple i dont feel comfortable with ) like resonance like that since sound is vibration ay ?okay no connection.

well anyway i was really cool abt it lah. walked into the centre, left my shoe bag on a chair then proceeded to the toilet to dry up myself. so anyyywaaay everything changed when the dentist took one of the machinery from her set of varieties, pressed some button and made the 'whiiiiirirrr' sound. she almost killed me. okay not that bad, i just kept focusing on the very fascinating light on top of me. really, why are lights so interesting? the way it illuminates and brightens the whole room/ but there was the occasional jab and OW damn it that hurt! but no i didnt cry. i could feel tear(s) forming up at the side of my eyes but no, not enough to roll down and concede to Dr. Evil. so hurray for that!

before that i went to do easy run (a little less than 40min) with rjcross. but only weiwen ,norman and ruiyong was there. i feel good ;) i KEPT UP with 3 guys tdy!hahahha. i'm so fit! kidding, i bet they slowed down for me. but weiwen talked to me anyway so paced slowed down a lot at 2nd 1/2. "so hows yellow flower?" HAHA! wow the change in his expression was priceless.

then met tricia at turf city! today was a really fun day thus the recount :D we toured giant ,bought some stuff to busy ourselves with then went to walk the route. tricia took many many pics which is so pointless!doh every pic looks the same, trees all over the place. BUT to the crosser's eyes, every single picture has its significance. ah, the majesty of it all. God's wonderful creations. i didnt use my liverpool cap in the end cos of stupid reasons. my relationship with tricia is rather the same.. she does most of the talking, gives the weirdest comments (:P:P), etc etc. but of course i'm talking more now( i dontknow why i felt theneedtosay that)

i lost my slippers to a battle against mud. eeeeeeeeee twas sad :( but i didnt bother to try salvaging my slippers. didnt feel sad when it happened actually HAHA. ditching them was the only thing in mind. maybe because 1 leave my mark 2 can buy new slippers 3 not mine, fang's :P (nah i'm kidding abt this i love you rachie) 4 i wanted to walk barefooted. so there i just left my slippers and started on a new journey to the finish line. tricia said ,during e stoney parts, it's like having foot reflexology session. but darn it hurt like mad! the muddy areas were a comfort to my feet but it was soooo gross. i dont know how to describe that feeling.when your feet just sinks into the mud and gets overwhelmed by mud crocodiles. the grassy areas were another terrain i travelled on. ah, the best ones :) tricia said they were really high grasses. i didnt care. they brought comfort to thy feet. God rewarded them with lots of water after. oh triciahey! realise it only started pouring like crazy after we left turfc???? :D:D:D yay thank God !

we picked teo up from acjc then i left for dentist.

so that concludes my day basically. seems like i was more occupied by my surroundings than e people i was w no? they were too XP hahaha kidding:)

marie's going back home tmr :(

i dont like pple making use of me.

i dont like falling into pple's tricks.

i like prison break, i love watching races, i like watching sports competitions, i like watching stuff that make you think yet i also like watching stupid bimbotic shows that make you laugh at stupid things.

just watched this ironman tri race documentary...maaaad. in sg, it was blazing hot. and they had to cycle up sheares bridge!pure torture. it was so nice seeing the pple cross the line one by one. but obviously there were sad moments like when those dudes collasped from dehydration or cramp etc.

i shall do what i used to do;post stuff frm msn convos.

gdnight

have you heard of the phrase, round table of knights?or STH like that. so anyway, there was a filming for such a scene and there was a lot of crap being
thrown on the ground and i caught one line and it's the only line i rmb.


...
'hahaha and i know my table is rounder than yours! hahaha...'


hahahahha

when things and circumstances make you feel blue and tired and dejected...take a little time off...and then tell yourself that you will not allow that to happen...deep breath and then go out there to do things...running...studying...to your best...and it is only by seizing the moment...each moment...and do your best that you will slowly find yourself moving in the>right direction...

i've been meaning to say my thanks to you but i keep forgetting. thanks really for lending me your ears during that short period of time though it isn't impt to you. and i wasn't fine because the first time i raised it up, you changed course so quickly it hurt me, deep.

you know at different phases of your life, you'll face different challenges, you'll have to deal with different issues... right now, mine is to learn how to do as italic ised, set my priorities right and be a mary, not a martha. i have a book and it says 'if you're passionate about God, you can be sure abt your passions' .

yup, and i'm reading The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks now. my all time favourite writer ;) ignoring the fact that i dont really know the other writers .jan thinks hes good too

i miss you a lot too. anyway, following your footsteps, i've taken a step too out of the way, sorry for spoiling the image. yesss cant wait for you to come back! theres rj j2 farewell on 26th dec btw!!! and maybe there might be sec4 farewell too ;p hahahha i get to see you if you go for any yay :) my stamina is superrr low now man...

28 Oct 07, 21:47
Ruiyong: m sure this is called skill... if i miraculously pass my chinese 'o's on wed, THAT would be skill =P gd luck for tmr!
28 Oct 07, 21:46
Ruiyong: haha

passing chinese is like. um natural for you lah chinese high boy

it's a sad day. but anyways, i received an email which taught me to view things in a good better nice more positive perspective!i'll paste some quotes here

I AM GRATEFUL...
FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME

FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.

yup, i'm very encouraged by that. have you met as such pple in life? one who seems to speak the absolute truth always. one that can quote from what you said a long time ago to judge your actions. one that can do those quote things and question your actions now? i have, twice in fact. or maybe more actually.. but they dont create this big an impact or rather distress on me

"If you find a perfect church don't join it: You'd spoil it." - Billy Graham


hahahah that's funny.

this week has been eventful. (i'm getting results back tmr_

monday. hari raya holiday, so nicole and aunt angie* organised this little get together for a few of us and thadd's family.
*when e xers and thadd's family saw each other a lot more during that period of time, the family was known as thadd's daddy, thadd's mummy and thomas. but nicole said, after 4mths, she's now known as aunt angie. the way nicole said it was so cute :P*
we all met at school then aunt angie (aunt a) picked us up. during the course of the journey, nic was saying that she felt like shes in a sch bus.so funny. the car's a six seater,with some room for pple to sit on the floor. i was sitting right at the back and rmbed a scene when thad was still ard. clarissa tan and thomas**** were occupying one seat each at the back. thad was sitting in the middle of them.and as usual, two of them were quarrelling (abt some really redundant stuff) then after a while, it got so noisy thad covered his ears and bent down. hahahaa it was really funny.
so anyway (i feel the most boring posts are recounts but TOO BAD) when aunt a showed us this furniture that thad wanted to buy. (they bought it) a lot of thad's stuff were put there. then there was this random green turtle on one of the candles.presumably found in thad's locker. aunt a said when mr t opened the locker, there was only that one turtle there. hahahaha. then we went to see pics. thomas is rreallllllly cute. i was talking abt how goodlooking he'll be when he grows up ,since he alr is. i saw him looking at me when i looked at him,' i'll pretend i didnt hear that' aahhh so cute :P the pics were really cool. tasmania. i wanna go there one day =p ***so anw then thomas showed us A LOT of magics tricks. i'm very impressed. then we went to visit thaddeus. its a very peaceful place down there.i'm referring to the room btw. then we had lunch at pepper express (i think that's its name) then...i went to east coast to cycle w churchpple.

***OHYES. aunt a also showed us two videos made for thad. OHMYGOODNESSGRACIOUSMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. i've totally seen thaddeus before! i recognised one of the photos. it was taken during one of the AIMS competition. thad is from serangoon gardens, one of the 4 participating clubs. eeeeeeeeeeeeeee i was super distracted when i saw that pic that i couldnt conc on the next few. i dont know how to describe how i felt. can you imagine, you visit a friend's place after he has passed away, watch a video and recognise a photo. take note, i did not notice that picture from some random photo i saw in a magazine or whatever, i recognised that 'picture'. i recognised seeing that 'scene', the 12 big guys squeezing on the podium(some give up trying to get up and stand on the floor) receiving their team relay prizes. it was... whoa =/ i dont know what to say !

****maverick is another really cute one :)

tuesday, ran out of school halfway, skipped lecture TO CHECK MY EMAIL. that's indespicable! =p heck. (i'm a good girl, skipping lessons is a big NO NO to me)

sat, mws flag day. as always, flag days are very memorable experiences :) maybe cos you meet a lot of pple in a period of time. people are very interesting creatures.

sunday, ran great eastern run this morn 10k. i was running with mummy. oh my it's a really cool race. before the event, the top runners , from kenya!!!!!!! and dont know where else, were introduced to the whole crowd and asked to step up on some stage thing. it was really cool. cos you see the runners, step up, smile a little, wave a little then go back down. it's like, they deserve such attention but they're humble people. plus they're nervous abt the race.or at least i think they are.i always am before races. it's really cool how I FELT i could connect w them, though i'm nowhere as fast. 33min!!! crazy. then i saw a lot of pple and clarisse. clarisse got 2nd for under19 man!'fun run' =.= eeee shes so pro :D so anw, the kenyans were so pro. when i was at the 2k mark, they were alr coming back (6k). (the route is a u-turn kinda thing) it was so ...........awesome seeing them fly. ah, glorious sight. the first two pple were a kenyan and australian ( ithink). then the 3rd kenyan. it's really hard for the 3rd runner i think, you're like top but not and are running alone.sucks.

after the run, mummmy and i went ard getting drinks, bananas, cereals, tshirts, icecream (no more :( ), pink flowers, pink balloons. such a pretty sight. all girls ard. mummy's really so aunty i tell you. it was really funny though.seeing her aunty instincts. then after satisfying her aunty instincts, we rushed to the front to watch prize presentation. oh my, the champ looked so happy. smiling, waving her hands ard. and top 3 gets a plaque from tiff&co. 0.o glitters. hahaha ;p the winners were really...glamarous. it's like, wow, they can do ANYTHING they want. scream, jump on the podium...anything! you're the winner you can DO ANYTHING YOU WANT. you're given all credibility. (obviously w/o being so arrogant. but xers are not arrogant... ... just like liverpoolies)

i was so in awe. then, my realistic inspiration came.2nd placing. my classmate clarisse yong. ohyea before e run i mentioned to mummy that she's janell's role model. mummy's response, "wow". and i was thinking, ohyea man..wow. can you imagine having a sec2 girl looking up to you as a role model? it's not a 'for fun' thing here. when janell talks abt her, wow. even if i dont know her, i'd be quite impressed with this senior that my sister talks abt occasionally.

so combining the effects of a suspended runner watching top runners step up the platform to humbly greet the crowd, to running pass her, to collecting their prizes with a big satisfied grin...suspended runner is even more so fired. i've decided, i'll go back to competitive running starting nov.

thanks for the ...i dont know, fuel ?

i
didn't think i'll ever miss him. and oh my, i think i'm starting to.

fast and relax.it's been a long time since i heard that phrase man.

i'm going for a uni survey thing tmr.and i was reminded of mr ng's offer to go to canada to study so then he, renuka and i can go for runs tgt. aw smucks :(

Why start something you have no intention of finishing?

if you're one of the people at natalie's house, you'll probably know i got that quote frm the book i'm reading now, True Believer(which seems like a christian book to them). or maybe not. those people are too ***** XP. putting relationships on the strain just because of an insignificant third party. PLEASE! ... ;D

but i think it's quite true . TB meant it in the relational way fyi; in that, why get so close to each other when you know that it wont last because you're leaving town?kinda sad. thinking further, i thought abt my crosscountry career.(we had cca leader conference so i was labelled crossrunner .:.recounts of cross exp came back)

ah, it's sad.

so anyway, it's maverick's bday today. HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY MAVIE ;) let me tell you all about this little boy maverick here. maverick leong. wei peng...right? ha ha i dont know lah but the way you say your chinese name is so cute. on to that c word, maverick is now 14yrs old standing, tall and skinny and like a big boy. okay not big boy, but a less small boy. is it irritating for a boy at 14yrs to have 17yr old girls calling you cute? cos that was the first thing i said to him when i saw him today. oh my, like totally. him in his too small shorts, and yellow shirt. maverick looks so cute in his sch u. :P but all cutes and stuff, hes a very understanding boy. matured when need be, saw it so during... publicity for youth sunday this yr. one responsible boy. yet, he can brighten up the lives of people's around him just with the toothy grin of his. his actions to 'With Christ in the vessel we can Smile at the storm' song. awwwww :) and i rmb him em-ceeing with TiffanyAng for finale night last yr. two of them are so cute. my "twin". well, it's been close to two yrs since i met this adorable boy here.and i sang him the birthday song 14 times :) not very eventful lah. i shld have, like, called him at 11.59am and sing the song in 1 min or sth. but it's too late :P okay excuses. whatever heh. i feel blessed knowing maverick :) happy 14th again!

under circumstances, i was counting how many months has it been since thadd left. mentally, i was going "july..august..sept.. oct" .... ," about 3 1/2 mths". and somehow when i was counting, my heart sank, sank real deep. like when you're on the top of a rollar coaster and it falls down to the pits, your heart feels like it's in vacuum or smth.that 'weightlessness' feeling. yeah, that feeling. it s incomprehendable. it was somewhat, scary. lost. you know, suddenly the qns like what am i doing on earth? why is life so fragile? why did he have to go at 17? came. esp since earlier, i saw this lady running all over the streets, presumably looking for a child of hers that has gone missing. aiyah, the accummulation of feelings derived from the two situations stated earlier is a...fearful feeling.

so it comes down to this huh. promos ended 3 days ago...ended today for others. so what's up next in the calender one asks? well here it is for me:

1) planning of youth camp! 18-22nd dec. (if you're interested tell me)
2) CHINESE A LEVELS ON THE 29th oct i heard
2a)coach said we MIGHT (might only :( ) be resuming trg after chi!
3) pw
4) CLEAN MY ROOM
--> i've a confession to make. last yr, there was a surprise bday held for yuliang bev and myself. a lot of church people turned up and i received many many gifts :) as it was during my pre o levels period, i read all the cards, opened all the gifts, smiled, thought abt how much effort was put into it and put it into a bag. i said i'll unpack everything after o's. well, a yr and 2days have passed and the bag is still at that corner.
5) REPLY ALL BDAY MSGES. yup.. i've not replied everyone who sent me birthday msg yet :( and i see some along the streets of rjc and amc...and i tell them :" sry i'm intending to reply all tonight" or smth. well....yeah i've not done it. sry.
6) catch up on my sleeep!!!!
7) visit thad's family :) this i cant wait.

so what was life like before promos?
1) study
2) be the least concerned abt youth camp and what shawn's sharing abt it
3) ...maybe other stuff which have slipped off my mind

but the thing is, i feel more ...busy than before promos. okay maybe more... splitted up. in the sense that. my mind is occupied with more things.and it aint nice. okay of e 6 stuff i mentioned above...those are obligations and im fine with it. i can live with them, i dont mind them. but much as i value faithfulness a lot, i find that i dont really like responsibilities.because it comes along with accountability, time, effort and commitment. ah, a big word.commitment. the thing that comes to my mind when ppl talk abt commitment is marriage. and hey, the idea of marriage appeals to me. yet, i really dont like being tied down by something (or things in this case) i prefer to be freelance -ing ard with nothing whatsoever to care abt. you know, like a wild horse in the vast greenery.

okay i shld give a usual bday post. so here goes:

i turned 17 yrs two days ago! so i'm 17 and 2 days years old now on children's day! :) life has lots of ups and downs. and because of these downs, life has it's ups really high and dangerous. but hey we only live life once ;) thank you to everyone who has made my life hell ,to those too who stuck through it with me and to those who planted flower seeds and watered it with me. it's amazing. i pray that my creator will cont to use me for His plans. i've helped in the making of His plans now and then...and wow it's great ! thanks minyi and benedict for calling me to sing birthday song personally :) so touching. as a wl said of me ,' blessed to have such friends'. i agree! thanks daddymummyjanrachryan for waking up SO EARLY to sing bday song and shoving cake in front of me at 6.45.twas really really sweet. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who sent me bday sms! there're so many i just dont feel it's enough to just list them down!it'll make them feel so insignificant cos their name is just one out of a list;and they mean SO MUCH more to me. thanks for the bday presents all of you!espespesp ben for the liverpool SCARF. eeeeeeeeee :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D thanks kor and shawn for the books.i will read them. thanks nat for the elmo and card :) thanks youthphoria for the notebook. thankyou mummy for the bag and necklaces. thanks waye2jie2 for e shirt. thanks gor poh for e precious moments toy. thanks annabel for the card. thank you jesse for the drawing.you're really talented ! thanks ern for e cookies. thanks alvintheone for the squish ball :P thanks xcountry for the card!it's so beautiful. thanks Father for e past 17 yrs.

i heard a good joke recently!;;.

oscars award man..
(sry for any typos etc)

nooooooooooooo. what a wrong way to end the post.especially with promos looming ahead

okay okay, raffles aint that bad actly :) known some really good people.made some really good friends. appreciate my old friends more. and i'm sure much better days are coming ahead.trust. and there's a reason i'm in rj. yes there is. aiyah raffles is good. the compound is big. the food quite good. the photocopy shop auntie was nice to me ytd. (when i went in and said ,' hello!' she 'hello' me back ;) and no i didnt do anything out of the normal. har har) there are .. nice teachers in sch. (did you know that at 6am everyday, the radio plays marikita? =p) hmm what else. it makes you more independent. you've more credibility being in raffles junior college...........................it's straining my head trying to think of more reasons. oh yea, and the people there are either very good in sports/music/studies/leadership/articulation(presentation wise ) etc.. it opens my eyes as to how 'imbalance' (cant think of any other word =/) people can be

there's this song that gives me the 'WHOOOOOA' feeling. it's one of those rather quiet, serene, emotional songs that slowly build up and when it's the chorus, its as if the soundwaves are rushing andjostling to come out of the instruments. but when it comes out, it 's beautiful and glamorous.adrenaline pumping.you've to listen to it to know what i mean !
here's the chorus:
"...
forget yesterday
we'll make a better day
...
...today"
i was trying to hear for the words. I THINK the radio deejay said that the title is 'boys like girls' not sure

if only i could create a bubble around me and just focus on promos. and God

but can't you please just leave me alone.
please?
what a cry...aint mine. but it struck me when i read it, because it was a cry to her sub-consciousness not to any concrete person/thing etc. how very terrifying.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee liverpool drew w porto. or whoever the other team is >:( the stupid bunch of manu arsenal fans in class are gonna gloat.. but no, we're not living on 'past glories'. aiya then agn, you dont support a team just because they are winning. that's my take on why there're so many manu fans in raffles.ha.. HAHA! i just remembered wj asking me after one recess period ,"why do you support liverpool...! support arsenal lah ...!" in a whiny tone. haahaha. sounded so exasperated. arsenal

ytd, while walking to the bus stop with ruiyong, one of his qns kept me subconsciously thinking a lot. ohmy, i realise that whenever i see him, i always have an urge to ask 'why did you transfer from chihigh to ri ?!??!' but have to surpress it as i've asked him a thousand times. and he will always ask me some methodist(in sch terms) related qn.

ytd, he asked me, "do you regret not going to ac?"
well, now's not a time to be having regrets. goodness, i'm gonna take my promos in 6days. but honestly, i've thought a few times how life might be for me (whenever i think abt it) if i went to ac

hey, i wanna be right with you again man. sorry for locking the door. where's the key??where did i kept it?where did i last saw it?! ah yes.back in the room where the pile of my unwanted posessions are. why am i telling you this? i'm sure you know that, you saw me chuck it there. ha.. time and time again, you peer over and see me fumbling through the pile... only to see me give up halfway when the key is just under that last scrape. but hey. this evening, i searched thoroughly,intently, unintentionally.

i found it. here, take a look! it's here. i'm going to unlock the door. and , please do come in. i'm want to put you charge of this house. i'm gonna pass you the key... here you go. and here's my wallet,papers,handphone, shoes...oh and how could i forget, my watch. be careful! i had a lot of trouble trying to juggle them man. but my what huge hands you have, i'm sure you'll be able to hold them for me right? you can even juggle them like how i see the clowns in carnivals juggle 6 balls. just remember to catch my stuff okay?unless you want me to forgo them..well, it's up to you!they are yours now.everything i have.just take it. being in your presence, having you as the house master..i'm satisfied enough with that. in fact, i'd rather you took charge of this place since it was built! what a sorry state this is in now...do whatever repairations that needs to be done, is that fine? i'll absorb the costs. oh my. please please, how could i forget. have a sit and have something to quench your thirst as well. it must have been frustrating standing outside for ages. i'm so sorry to keep you waiting. well, pls do drink up in response to my sincerity. here's to a better tomorrow!

I CANT BELIEVE THIS. HAHAHAHA AND NEITHER CAN ANY OF YOU NINIS! the day to be reckoned. the day the old sheds. the day the new arises. the day i take my rightful position. I'M GETTING A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH! my goodness, i sound so gong. so 'unglam' to quote someone. and...yes, so goofy. whatever they want to say, whatever the world thinks. i AM gonna be a grown up woman. ha..ha.. it's gonna be so grown up sounding an email man ;) email me! trackatiff@gmail.com hahahaa..nvm if you dont get the play of words. i just hope i dont forget this mail cos i forgot my yahoo one. i'm so excited. i just my first mail~ from gmail team. aww so touched ;) ha ha.. whats wrong w me...haha. well, i guess i'm just glad i fulfilled one of my 'must dos' i formulated in my mind during one boring o level study session:to create a new email create a new appearance,one of maturity, stature etc etc to create a new look when i come to rj. well now it's done! hahaha. yeah, my blog spots are so 'frivolous' sounding now.to me that is. but it's good enough an effort ;) i cant wait to see e mg gang after promos. as in after pw, after chinese,before we start whacking for a's. so then NO ONE has an excuse to 'take out laptop and do pw' or take out notes and recite them to us. yay. sch tmr so exciting zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Push Pocket in KL


I am sure you all have heard of " pick pocket". A new trend " push pocket".
Read on?. Is for your own good.

A new type of crime has surfaced in town. It goes something like this:-

Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket, sometimes it could be just a wallet with an identity card and a few ringgit.

A few minutes later, the 'owner' comes up and confronts you, the 'thief '. He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.

You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the 'owner' for a settlement you are intimidated and threatened that if you do not pay up the police will be brought in. If you pay up, this 'owner' lets you go.

Another strange thing is that there always seems to be a 'witness' to the your 'theft'.

I am told this often happen to foreigners at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or even at LRT trains. Given that you're 'guilty until proven innocent' as far as the Malaysian police are concerned, I understand some poor people are in jail for these 'offences'.

At the KLIA, the 'owner' throws his hand-phone and wallet with the few ringgit notes into the luggage trolley of a just arrived passenger. The drama unfolds a few minutes later. The real culprit has easily convinced the Malaysian police to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the 'settlement' demand).

This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight. They are disgusting criminals who will do anything to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole scenario is that unless you pay the "quoted settlement" money, they will put you in real trouble by calling the police.

The real culprit gets back his hand-phone and wallet but the real victim (i.e. could be any one of us) is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.

So do be very careful, otherwise you may end up as a "thief" as you have no way to prove your innocence.

Pass it on..... let more people be aware of such things around them.

ha ha..smth very random to sum up my past few hols(btw, it's nth gotta do w anything bad. the above prose is fyi, and for me..smth to reminisce abt of my sept hols. but but, no i didnt steal anything or anything.and i'm not trying to act bad or anything. it's from a family email)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3JKKl95Ttrc

today is a very memorable day. it's not a big bam boom! event that took place. no nth of that sort. just a quiet ceremony that didnt mean more than an obligation to me initially. but after reading an email (from andre), smth struck me and hey, i shld be taking this seriously.

so, what is it? well, to cut the long story short, this morning was the handover of...sv leading or whatever you call it. anabel passed the baton of leading sv to weixian and myself. very quiet affair. anabel went up, talked a bit and said that weixian and i will be leading next, then got everyone to pray with her for two of us. it was empowering...(though i admit i wasnt listening very muggeringly) halfway during the prayer, i felt a hand on my shoulder. realised it was weixian. that touch was...so sincere ,so heartfelt. every christian do have a responsibility to be vessels of the Good news. but, then, it dawned upon me that now the responsibility of making an impact in this secular school is much greater. and were you kinda 'pushing me to the task' Lord? ha..sorry. i must learn to trust more. i really pray that i'll be able to accept my task requirements though. andre and i have the same views on this.heh. and the mg senior i talked to a few times in school.

i was rather...sian diao tdy. plus i got vip invitation. -.- rachel sent a very encouraging sms though.was v touched. then during break, raechelle, candy and i had quite a...deep talk. very extremely grateful for that :) i enjoyed it.the sincerity and trust that is.. ha. talking abt rachelle, she said she found my blog.but nvr tag. haiyoh.

after sch,yingfen,angel and i studied.(oh my what am i doing?!why am i recounting my day) miss them man. hahaha.. introed them to cat and edward. hahaha...screwed up. and that wongli can squirt water!so fascinating. but not on me.zzz.

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY! to the 3rd guy

before i left for home i saw cat with meily. saw 6D class photo. hahahahha why do all the class photos i've seen so far have at least one siao ding dong. so wasted lah. meily said thad was away on some phillipines or indonesia trip. i feel v bad for putting these two countries tgt.explanation will not be offered.

i'm prob doing that cos i wanna acknowledge my rj friends....?hmmm probably..realised i havent done that before.i thinik. ohwells, i've done my fair share of blogging.

wait! junlong just reminded me. rj\s new overhead bridge is finally constructed! done, furnished and very pretty :) i was so excited while crossing it. even while climbing the THREE flights of stairs.had this extra energy and spring in my steps hehee.

ok NOW i am done. i'm quite excited for tmr. gonna run at mrr!!after so long. with edward. he's trg for sub9 by nextyr.that crazy freako. but i must be supporting as a FRIEND. i thought of whether i shld bring him to e crazy 10k route.hahahaha..but after much deliberate thought, i realised that i doubt i myself can do it now.

yo c, i wish you'd talk to me abt what you talked to her abt man. rmb that night?you said we'd be there for each other. maybe you dont feel comfortable telling me such things...but hey, the love for my, no our, team is there. and my purpose is meant to be there for you.to support you in whatever decision you make. and personally.i want to know your thoughts.i want to be there to be your emotional, physical and esp (as you said) spiritual support. i wldnt dare to tell any of these to you.but i wish you;d know how i feel as well.

today. i'm rather...moody upset whatever as i told chris. and i think it's more than partially due to the sudden realisation, actually more subtly than suddenly, that expressing myself through words, through a wide range(or of whatever i had then) of vocab is becoming like maggimee. ah...this is gonna be my first post since that incident without mentioning thaddeus! oops i just did ._.

(i was talking with someone just now abt him..for a v brief moment.and hey twas not tht bad. life is unpredictable...that's true. but that'sonly from a human's perspective)

so yes back to wallowing in self distress. i cannot express myself adequately and properly anymore! so sad. just now chris talked to me online and said something like 'hello i decided to pop by :)' i wanted to give a witty reply but my goodness, nth came to mind. that is how out of tune i am with myself!or w whoever. ah well liverpool's playing tonight against chelsea. and it's more exciting this time cos i just made a chelsea friend.

hmmm, i read a very meaningful quote just now. "Life is like a pencil without an eraser." i wanted to start blogging again.. get my writing instincts flowing from scratch but. aiyah it's 11pm. so maybe i'll prac again another day.

btw nngi, what does nngi mean? and whatever it is i've done that's bothered you, yes we wont talk for another time soon but when we do again, please let me know?..thanks. btw, a short update on my life, i've abt 36days to promos.. your exams shld be abt now right..all the best man..

caijing, it'll take abt 5 yrs of friendship to get a drift of what friend is saying...yet it'll take more than 5yrs to know what friend means. ha.. :) hope preparations for a levels been good :)

sat,sun...two good days i look forward to. no it doenst give me the energy supply to last the week like they used to but rather the peace that i need.\

God's presence, faith, peace, promise. the 4 anchors.
Faith doesnt argue against reason, faith brings you beyond reason.

hey thad. i'm almost gonna solve the rubiks cube leh.i left the last row only! man. the feeling's good. hahahhaa i dont dare to touch it anymore in fear of messing the whole thing .because of you ah........i've spent much precious time doing that rather than studying! and it's also because i refuse to check out the soln from the internet. because you said ' next time you come over again i'll cont teach you.' so yes.how can i rely on the net?on the cheat method =p jk.zy seems to get pissed when i say that.

eh i'm super happy :) i'm so proud of myself. arent you???thad??? you better be :P

if i had a camera i'll take a picture of it and post it here

(i'm having super bad gastric pains now.ayyy.... i had a 'proper' dinner... :(crap. hurts like anything man. i cant walk.)

sorry jan. i threw my phone cos i was pissed.sorry.

(i had so much fun tdy. x chalet.norman,grace,nic,alvin,ruiyong,aud,melvin came.then they left and i went to retire 4 e night.while listening to alvin&ry talk abt runners and all.i enjoy listening to running stuff.in e morn everyone left and i went to airport w ernest to attempt study.a malay uncle talked to him on e way there.he's so open.i felt so warm listening to their conversation.e uncle's so friendly,so trusting,so chatty...no hint of scheming-ness.he was so real.pure.innocent to a certain extent.the world has a great lack of such pple.then i went back to pasirrispark to play sandcastle w youthphoria.now we know that daniel's(e 19yrs guy not daddy) is e pro at smokin =p but that grp's sandcastle is really nice. after that we reached church, ray suggested watching movie.so we went to vivo.ended up eating at a 'restaurant' w v nice staff.then to GJ for drinks.19 pple went for e outing man!i was felt such great.teamspirit. hahaha.whatthepenguin. we went high lah.why!but nvm.i was laughing e dinner out of me.)

then i came home.and i dont know why. i had a resolution to sit down and finally 'discuss' about thaddeus cheong. when i reached home, i talked a bit to jan abt him. but she was really tired from a super long day.further more she had trg in the morn; she suddenly said,'let's stop talking.we shld sleep.' i felt so.dejected and hurt. yeah so jan, when you went out, fine, i threw the phone against the wardrobe. sorry for scaring you man. but when you suddenly said that and walked out of my room, i was so shocked and overwhelmed that i didnt know what to do. and then almost instantaneously i felt so angry at myself. i realise that i've not come to terms with what happened abt 1mth ago.

i was reminded of the phone call shortly after church service. clar blatantly told me what happened. two words. i was reminded of e first time i saw him lying there. his father saying when we (x girls) walked in 'thad...you cant go out and play pool with your friends anymore ah'.

i was reminded of being next to him during his last 'mugging' session on that fri@bishan library.iwas laughing silently to myself.i looked at him;he was staring at his econs notes. after a while i look up agn,his eyes are half closed.i then told him my philosophy;sleep for 1/2hr,wake up v energized then can study properly.his agreement and totalsupporting look on his face made my day la.he 'yayaya. i agree'which is total bull to e others cos mugging is their passion.

that one trg i decided to go up to do exercise,only to see him and clarisse there too.that day i decided to try an exercise taught by clarisse.so i was rather noob.then thad was like 'lower..lower....okay' 'ah damn pain' 'of course la!' ...

that one time i stayed back in sch till abt 7plus in the canteen.i was waiting for time to pass so i took out my work to attempt. then he came by, talk a bit to me..talked to some pple ard me.. then after getting inspired by me dragged his feet to get his bag and take out his notes.but he nvr study la.only for show. but whoa, he's one hella pro at crapping. his econs is super good.he seemed like he knew his stuff really well

him asking me whether i knew abt 'the fan club'. he didnt want to cont when i said no.

him askingme to go eat after a particular trg when mummy alr was waiting for me

that super sms reply he gave. 'c 1st la...' so beng. ha ha...

e room that mr t brought aud clar and i to. the rebellion i had twds the 'counsellor' or whatever he/she's called. i stubbornly refused to cry in front of him/her.that was a really painful 10min or so.

seeing him leaning against the railing when i went out to get my bag. seeing him after he walked out of thad's place, during his funeral...

the grand 'ceremony' to commemorate thadd's life

the yellow band that so many people wear.now when i see any1 w e yellow band, i auto assume they're related to thadd. that's fine right?

the first time i saw thad.

it's no use whining but i don't understand...why?
sry i'm not being very coherent.but this needs an update

http://xiawubei.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/in-loving-memory-of-thaddeus-chong/

almost everything i want to say is in that link.
it's so touching to see even those who don't know him personally inspired by him. eg, my sister, her mgxcountry mates etc...

"One thing for sure. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all athletes out there."

amen.

but, as a friend of his, i shld write all those down again, personalise it, pen it in my own words and yeah.maybe bring abt a new perspective. but no, not yet. i'm not ready. maybe next time..when i can think about him in his exact form and smile back at e image of his goofy smile. (since cj mentioned me once;) as i told caijing, i dont feel adequate enough to write abt him, about the memories i have of him. i dont feel like i'd be doing him justice if i shld just write an entry abt it.
reading e other crossers' blog entries abt him amazes me..how they can so nicely pen their thoughts and memories of him into words.then again, maybe not. such memories can nvr be fathom by mere words. but nonetheless,10yrs down the road if someone, or myself even, do come back to here, at least i'd be able to revive e memories i hold so dear to my heart.

"...you’re truly one sportsman worthy a role model. You’ll be my inspiration to not give up for my track and field championships"

mgx junior (sec3): hey tifft. i stumbled upon your blog & just wanted to say, i really miss those trngs too. you know what? you were a GREAT capt. seriously. haha... a reunion would be fantastic but hard, agreed. anyway, just keep relying on God's strength. keep close to Him & you'll be fine. it must be really hard in trngs nowadays.. rj seems very stressful. but God will be there for you always, & you're very courageous in evangelising in rj! don't give up! you're awesome, yes(: byebye.

hello my dear junior. thankyou so much for your encouragements. really means a lot, a lot to me esp now. and thanks for the reminder.to always lean on God and God's strength alone. and hey, rj ain't that stressful lah..stress is just a perspective thing no? ;) danielle's coming over you heard? and honestly, i've not been a very good witness of the Lord's in rj.but yea, 'dont give up!' :) thanks dear. btw you are????
