Tsunami
It's been tiring, but it's been fun. Especially yesterday.

For the last 2 days, i've been heading to church after school for the Youth Leaders' Retreat. And although i wasn't there for the whole thing, it was still a really good time spent with God.

On Monday, we watched Passion of Christ, not the whole show but juz the part where Jesus was already caught till His crucifixion. The first time when they were playing it.. i went to the toilet.. den i read my book. The second time when they showed it to everyone at nite. I started crying when the crowd was asked which prisoner they wanted release. And when it came to the gory part, i juz couldn't look. I closed my eyes, prayed and cried.

And to think i like to watch bloody shows. Wuss i am. If you tink of me tat way. I can watch any other show but juz not this and the Jesus movie because it's really upsetting to see the way He had to suffer BECAUSE OF US and FOR US.

God, You're s'wonderful. Thank you.

Tuesday, headed back down juz in time for lunch and helped to set up for the games while the younger ones went up for their session. Think everyone was quite high cos we were all doin stupid things and laughing and laughing and laughing and... haha yeah then we played the games among ourselves for a while (AmBer, Ryan, Ralph, Denver, Marcus, Alvin n I). And again we were laughing.. Good way to relieve stress and worries bout school man. :)

After the games, everyone headed back up for the last session b4 closing off the retreat. I wasn't really paying much attention at the end because i was worried about smth else. But all i can do now is pray.

On another note, it's really upsetting to see so many people dead and suffering 'cos of the Tsunami.. Right now the numbers are at 68,000 and still counting.. Yesterday when i saw the Straits Times, i was quite disturbed and saddened at the pictures. So many innocent lives lost. But i thank God that Singapore wasn't affected. It's really by His grace that we are safe and still here. Imagine, so many places around us were hit but we weren't, we are indeed blessed.

I'm glad that they are people in Singapore who are doing what they can to help the victims. And today, I realised that I'm glad to have found a friend in Wendy. It is seldom that i see my friends speak with so much ardor on helping people who are less fortunate than us. She is definitely one of the smartest and strongest person i noe.

Lord, thank You for keeping Singapore safe from the disaster. I pray for the families of the victims that they be strong and take comfort in You. Amen.

Work...
I've been up till ungodly hours these last few days.. and waking up early.. last nite i only had 2 hrs of slp.. and 2nite.. i'll be getting about 4 and half hrs i guess... too much work.. too little time.. i have said this b4 haven't i? sheesh.. i feel like the projects are sucking life out of me... i shd be enjoying my holiday.. y in the world do i have to do tis? sheesh!

Was at the retreat and was tinking of the project. And i had to borrow Joshua's com to email some stuff.. my gdness how can school be so inhuman to us humans?? argh!!

But i'm quite proud of myself.. i managed to push myself to stay up till now to finish the storyboard and do the law tutorial (though i dunno how to answer half of the qns...). i'm surprised i can even last tis long considering the lack of slp for the past few nites... which averages out to a nice 4 hours everyday since tuesday. But of cos it's not juz me pushing myself. Thank You Lord, what would i do without you?

Well.. i'll be going off now.. to slp.. but i NEED to do this...

To ALL my Small Grp members (whether you read this or not) and to my wonderful Bro and Partner-in-Crap, Gab, you guys have been so encouraging and supportive this past yr that i can't believe our grp is no more next yr. It doesn't even feel like one year. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

P/s: Thanx for the plaque and card you guys.. so touched.. tears almost flowed when Meixi and Jess were up there thanking us... Really means a lot to me :)


Will post up pics when i get more time to do tat... until den.. toodle-loo

X'mas
A Christmas like no other.

Eve of X'mas - School. Friends. Family Dinner.
But I'm glad this year i got to hang out with friends for a while :) "AMELIA OTHMAN" Haha so fun to disturb u lah Ame ;p Thanx Leya for the Gingerbread Man!! And everyone who gave me cards.. a big THANK YOU!! i love to get cards.. especially those wif msgs.. :)

And for once in a long long time, i stayed home this X'mas eve to have a dinner with my relatives from my dad's side. I've been out caroling for so many years. Although i dun really like all of them it was gd juz sitting and chilling and toking. I tot it was gona be quite boring but i was wrong. A simple family dinner. Hanging out with my cousins(whom i dun normally tok to) for a while watching the beginning of Incredibles. They are so cute! And i mean my cousins.. (but yeah the cartoon is cute too.. haha) Den i left them to tok to my aunts and catch up. For once after so many years of my life that i've known my relatives i realised that a few of them do care, and note A FEW. Can you believe i have an uncle who doesn't even remember my name. Thanx ah.. i'm H's daughter. Like sheesh! And he's supposedly one of the closer ones to the family.

My closest aunt stayed overnite. Slept wif me. We toked so much i tell u.. i miss her so.. she used to stay over all the time when i was young.. But she's my inspiration, she's already 60+ but u noe wat? she jogged 3km everyday for the last 3 wks. And did 120 of those beam lifts too. Like woah! i gota get my fat butt to the gym and start running and swimming. But of cos it's not only cos of tis. She's a very strong woman. Her husband passed away when she was young.. i never met him except in photos. She lives alone, she's still working but not for the money, and she is wat i call a true woman of God. She toks to Him about anyting and everything and teaches me lots of tings she learns from the Bible. I thank God for her. In fact i thank God for all my relatives, although i may not really like some of them..

X'mas - Opening Presents. Church. Lunch. Phone Call. Old School Games.
The first present i opened for X'mas. My present from Alvin. My new Digicam!! Did i mention I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND? Cos I DO LOVE HIM. Not only cos he bought me the cam of cos.. It's for everything he's been to me.. :) He stayed overnite too. Slept wif Gzerrel. My mum said they were hugging each other when she went to the room to off the aircon this morning. haha. so cute rite..

Anyways tok bout my Digicam.. no i didn't get the Canon Ixus i. I got the i5 instead!! haha y? cos of a major mistake made by my dad's friend who owns the shop. He gave my dad the i5 instead of the i. And no one realised it!! Haha so i got the i5 at the price of the i. Actually not me.. Alvin cos he bought it. heh But yeah.. no one realised it until i opened it and i was like. "aye how come it's an i5?!?" Haha i'm really blessed :)
Look at my cam! :)


Headed for church service, which was really short but good sermon bout X'mas. And then the horror started.. giving out presents and cards. My gdness it was so messy! I only managed to give a few. But i've packed the rest properly to make it easier for me to give out 2ml. And i love the present Bro & Dawn got for me and Alvin. Aquapets! Haha they're so irriratingly cute!! :) Thank you both so much!! Lunch was with the 2 of them, Eug, Josh and Marcus. Toked rubbish as usual.

Eveline invited a few of us over to her place for lunch actually. But i didn't go. Called Yanz and we had great laughs on the fone. Rite? haha pity i didn't get to record cos Alvin and my bro didn't want to sing again. but i tink i remember the lyrics.

Song for Yanz:
Yan the great
Drink the grape
Eat the bread
Go to bed

Song for Disa:
Disa Disa
You look like Mona Lisa
Disa Disa
Order some pizza pizza


Haha how nice rite? But noting is as good as the real ting. rite Yanz n Disa? haha

After tat Gzerrel, Alvin and I played some really really old games that were hiding in my bro's cupboard for soooo long. Was fun!

This was indeed a Christmas like no other. Somehow the atmosphere of this yr's X'mas is really really different for me. But i can't poinpoint what it is.

I shd be aslp now. Gota wake up early for church. Long day ahead...

Will post up pics soon. Wished this weekend was longer.

Nite.
