a big HELLO from NZ!! haha anyway, i'm in this place called Dunedin now, and i just walked up Baldwin Street! the world's steepest street! =) here's a pic to prove it! haha


haha, yes that's me! and look at how small the houses at the bottom are =P

i'll post more photos when i get back to spore! =) cos the internet connection here's very bad! haha

i'll be in NZ till 1 jan haha..

ahhh, i'll miss everyone! see u all next yr! =)

argh! i've been tagged twice.. so here goes.. (shall finish this before i leave for nz)

Rules of the game:
1. Post 5 weird/random stuff about yourself.
2. At the end, list the names of 5 people whom you want next to do this, and leave a comment "YOU ARE TAGGED!" in their blog and tell them to read your blog for rules.

1. i love to watch chinese drama serials (yes, those channel 8 or channel u nonsense).. though my chinese standard isn't a reflection of how much chinese drama serials i watch, as many ppl can testify to that! =P haha okok, it's cos i always end up reading e subtitles! =P

2. i'm really afraid of insects that fly!! like stupid beetles, cockroaches and what-not =/

3. recently, i like to just sit in my room at night, playing away on the guitar (a new skill i acquired).. though i'm still rather bad at it..

4. and many ppl say that i can't cook/bake/whatever.. haha well, maybe that's true =P

5. YAY! my last one.. hmmmm.. oh! ppl say that i'm very fun to tease! HA HA! =/


i don't feel like tagging anyone! haha

pride and prejudice was reaally reaally nice! and it's a must-watch! it isn't the really fast-paced action packed show, yet, there's enough suspense in the show to not put someone to sleep =) and it does help that most things about the show are really gd! the scenery, the old english etc etc.. and of cos, keira knightley! =) didn't regret watching the show one bit!!

and i'm done xmas shopping! i think =P still haven't got my dad anything yet tho.. it's difficult haha

realised that i'll be away in nz for 10 or 11 days.. and not 8 days.. haha =(

movies that i want to watch:
memoirs of a geisha
chronicles of narnia
the family stone
wallace and gromit

so many movies, no money =P

haha went swimming today! haven't swam in ages! and the feeling of getting into the water is really great! =P haha and i went bowling after that.. was really terrible on the first few frames.. kept gutter-ing the stupid balls.. but i got better! =)

i did so many things today.. met up with quite a few people today..
talked.dinner.movie. yes, i'm happy! =)
haha and i got treated to a pure vanilla ice blended at coffee bean! =)

and i also watched the promise.. haha the ending was quite terrible.. but the starting was ok-ish la.. the whole story is understandable only at the ending part.. but the ending wasn't great.. haha i dunno what i'm talking.. just want to say that the show isn't great =P haha

i got a crumpler from my uncle as a xmas gift! =) haha feel happy again!

i'm looking forward to my new zealand trip! get to spend time with my family, do all the fun stuff there is to do in new zealand.. but on the otherhand, i'll not be able to see my friends =( then again, it's only for 8 days.. i can take it =) haha! looking forward to an enjoyable family holiday come thurs!

tired from christmas shopping today.. and i'm not even done shopping for stuff =P haha sigh my aim to settle all christmas presents failed! =/ it's sooo difficult to buy stuff for guys (incl. my bros!!) bleah haha


Centre of my Life
You are the Centre of it all
The universe declares in awe
Your Majesty, I surrender all
I make You the Centre of my life
Lord I respond with all I am
You placed in me the song
Of Heaven's melody
Your Majesty, I live to sing Your song

i went onto the roads during my driving lesson today! and it was FUN! =) haha very different than driving in the circuit.. wow! i'm addicted to driving on the roads! and i really want to get my license soon! but sigh, it won't be soon (considering that today's only my 3rd lessons =/ ) haha such is the slow rate that i'm progressing with lessons..

after a nice morn of driving, it was squash!! =)

haha had a really fun time playing squash with marc ian ks xq! and they're reaally gd! esp marc and xq, who can whack the ball soo hard and fast, that it was soo hard to return the ball! =/ haha so the only ppl i can play squash with now are ian and ks =P not that u all are lousy la, just that it's more fun playing with u all.. cos when i was playing against marc, he gave a lot of chance =P haha but oh well.. aiyah, guys have super gd ball sense la!! i'm jealous! =P but it was fun la.. the 4 of them realised, only today, that squash is fun! =) heh!

it was town next! seoul garden.. where me ian xq fried like ice cream, chin chow, ice jelly, nata de coco, "sperm balls" (actually i don't think they're called that, it's actually the jelly-like-tadpole-shaped stuff).. haha frying the ice jelly kind of disintegrated it quite immediately, while chin chow and nata de coco took some time to become black.. but what was amazing were the "sperm balls"!! they didn't disintegrate at all la! amazing! =P hahaha!

oh after we came out of seoul garden, we met like soo many ppl in a span of half an hr! i met my church friend (my bro's friend actually) and he did this weird hand-shake thing, which i thought was very amusing =P then met hon, yvonne and hazel! so many ppl =) haha but that's not the point.. after seoul garden, our shirts smelt baaadd! so we walked into body shop, and pretended to look at their stuff, and i sprayed tonnes of white musk on my shirt! and then xq decided to be smart and spray some stuff on my shirt too, but ended up getting quite a bit of the spray stuff in my mouth!! =/ dumb! haha

oh no! so much for such a nonsense day and evening..

quote of the day.. from ian, the chinese pro: "xin quan xin tong!" after xq's phone went bouncing down the escalotor =/

God answers prayers =)

today was a stay-home day.. and it was nice slacking! =)

ahh watched quite a few episodes of bleach (some anime) today.. and slept alot also.. and watched a lot of tv.. as usual =)

oh watched chicken little yesterday, and it was quite ok e show! haha chicken little is ok-ish cute la.. but he was quite poor thing throughout the whole show.. always getting bullied by others.. and his own dad doesn't even trust him at first..
but as in a kid's show, everything was well in the end, with a war-of-the-worlds-like alien invasion haha..

yay! going to play squash tmr =)

and my fingers are itching to play the guitar soon again.. but i need to buy one first =P haha!

church camp just ended!

i must say that throughout e days that i was at camp, it's been an emotional and spiritual roller coaster for me.. but God was there! and He made me realise all e secret places that i have hidden in my heart and now, thanx to the camp, my spiritual life is ok now! and i'm really happy abt that!! i hope it'll continue to be ok as the months and years pass by..

but it's been a camp of mixed feelings.. but i don't think i shd mention any details on this blog =) yup, but well, it wasn't easy dealing with it.. and everytime i tell God that i'll lay my problem at His feet and not worry abt it and not be bothered by it, the same problem keeps coming back to me.. oh well.. camp's over, and i won't have to face that problem anymore (i think!!) haha

ok it's been a tiring camp.. having little sleep and waking up early to pray! but all's been worth it! i've never prayed so much at one go before this camp.. and it was a great feeling to be in the presence of God =)

k sorry for not updating in ages!

i'm in the middle of camp (but am out tonight cos i have stooopid frs and pdp tmr!) sigh.. the thought of going to sch tmr is very sucky!

camp has been great so far! e speaker session was quite gd.. the pastor was Benjamin Chew and spoke abt the secret places in our hearts, like hurts, sins, future.. today's topic focused on secret places and our destiny..

each and everyone of us as a purpose.. Jeremiah 1:5 says that "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.." God created each and everyone of us with a unique plan for us! and that is our destiny.. so as long as we are willing to give up whatever we have, and follow Jesus, we can accomplish the purpose that God has for our lives..

it is when our hearts are full of these secret places, full of anger, hate, jealousy etc etc etc that we can fail to achieve what God wants us to do!

our lives are like a race.. we have to run with perseverance, the race that the Lord has set out for us! and the secret places in our hearts serve as an obstacle, a hindrance, in that race of life to fulfil our purpose, our destiny..

realise that there are reaaallly tonnes of bitchy ppl ard! (it's nothing personal, just a sudden realisation)

can't stand those kind of ppl!

haha don't worry, i'm not pissed w anyone or anything..

it's just sth that i just realise!

it's nice to slack! and lie on the floor and just watch random tv =)

anyway, here are like photos of my anat grp that we took on e last day that bay taught us =(


anat grp.. tog with chicken little! haha



anat grp!!! tog w bay!! i'm really going to miss bay =(



hahaha look at ks =P

hmm so it ends.. our 6 (i think) weeks with bay..
we're moving on to.. dinesh kumar!! haha hope he's gd! =/ and entertaining or sth!
ahhhhh..

haha here's a quote for e day..
(with reference to the barley grains in the cheng ting dessert)
*innocent look* "is this popcorn??"
(and no! this wasn't said by me =P)
