i was tired so i talked nonsense and played crap. haha.
ooh and we ate apple strudel!
my dad told me to get the full one, so YAY. (:

so that was the only time i could spend with him before he books in again.
ohwell. but i'm contented. (:

our skit was great. thank God for that.
i'm so proud of all of us.
we're the group who had the least help from teachers.
yeah it was totally minimal.

wow. (second wow of the post)
i really gotta count my blessings man. (:
and i shall sign off with this bible verse that enlightened and touched me during timothy and velma's wedding.


"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."

gosh i didn't know filming was so tough!
it's not as glam as i thought it was.

helped out with my brother's project yesterday.
filmed two scenes at the munch cafe.
he's the director!
and i was the field log cum umbrella girl.
funny la i had to shield the camera from the rain,
while getting drenched myself.
i was the wettest member on the set!
thank God i didn't catch a flu.

stayed on set till early morning.
reached home at 3am.
woah damn tiring can.
i'm only a field log and i'm complaining.
i wonder how my brother and his team can stand it.

i think i was the youngest person there.
at least i met friendly people like sheryl jeff and hussin.
plus some of the cast and crew.
jeff's going to SADAM next year!
if by God's grace i get in, we'll be batchmates cool.
i'm gonna miss sheryl.
i'll probably never see her again. =(

was really laden with fatigue man.
we had a rehearsal for our esther skit today.
i was supposed to wake up at 10am.
but woke up at 1137 instead.
ahhhh so pissed by myself.
rushed down and found them doing nothing yet.
the clothes + props were still in the cupboard, untouched.
doubly pissed.
tried to remain optimistic.
but i can't deny i was in a BAD mood.

happy first anniversary!

you were right, we have indeed come a long way. but i'm so glad we managed to pull through and overcome all odds together. what really amazes me most, is your high tolerance level and patience for an unreasonable and bossy person like me.

so here i am, typing away while you're sound asleep in tekong. haha. we've gotten over the fact that we're just not meant to see each other on this special day. instead of a lavish celebration, i guess it's time for reflection of the eventful year that has passed. it's like christmas! (:

and i'm contended hearing your voice every night.
if i would to use a gun to shoot you, i will never hit you man.
rawr. missing my botak boy. the love's getting stronger by day.

*

anyway, i played card games with churchmates from 3-7pm at the esplanade roof terrace today. boy, for one round all my daidee cards were picture cards except for two dees! IMBA RIGHT. yeah and i was the king most of the time. the last game of bridge, mujia and i won 9 sets, thanks to my 3spades. haha the feeling of winning the other two pros were YAY.

ooh i've gotten a good progress award. 200bucks yayy!
i'm one step closer to buying my own instrument. (:

ahhhh can't believe shioks is leaving tmr.
hey scandal.
i'm gonna miss you alotalotalotALOT okay.
you better miss us, or else.....
hehh.

sigh. why is everyone leaving? =((
life's getting more and more unpredictable.
life's creating more unexpectable twists and turns.
so many choices, so many uncertainties of the future.
and i'm not looking forward to poon's enlistment.
those jc days hanging out in school were GONE.

ohwell. reality is cruel.
but i'm not going to wallow in self-pity.
it's time to be more independent,
and to venture into a new phase of our lives!
YEAH MAN!!
