Moving

Moving

I will be moving to a new blog, mainly because I'm moving house so I felt that I should move my blog too to start this new chapter in my life =.=

hahas, no lahs -.-"

Seriously, it's because I realised that I really enjoy typing. (Yahz mass comm student with their MacBook Pros) & it'd definitely help my own spiritual walk by journalling online because I don't like having to change my Devotions book. Sorry, nothing against writing on paper, but packing has made me realise that what is kept online lasts forever [Like my old blog full of emo posts HAHAS]

& Wordpress allows me to lock entries/ to make them visible only to me. YAY for privacy~! ^^

Here's the new address: http://chloechristabella.wordpress.com

I'm still trying to figure out Wordpress -.-" UGH it drives me insane sometimes but it's ok, I will figure it out (:

Goodbye, chloe-xiaowen.blogspot.com (; *waves*

Before I leave you here suspended in cyberspace, I would like to explain the name of this current blog & why it's the Start of Something New.

My first blog was full of extremely depressed & juvenile posts. Okies, maybe not all, some of them were child-like faith-filled.

Start of Something New means the first mile of my walk with God & a life not bounded by my desires to find a life partner so early in life.

ChloeChristabella signifies my growth as a child of God. It's no longer a new start, I am maturing & understanding more of my faith & as I do, I pray that I will be come like the name Christabella. (My soon to be water baptism name in September next year right after my 21st birthday)

Christabella means to be more Christ-like in joy, love, faith, peace, patience.

Bella means devoted to God, beautiful & intelligent.

If you knew me before I came to know Him, I was very insecure about my physical appearance and I felt that nobody really loved me because I was seriously very ugly. Yes, even when I type this I feel abit incredulous at how on earth I could sincerely believe that! O.o

Therefore, this name holds much significance to me because I am a belle in Christ, & to Him, I am His beloved, beautiful & His creation, made in His image.

If you don't know, Chloe means abundance, verdant & blooming.

So put Chloe+Christabella together means more of what Christabella represents.

[Yeah I know, I'm just so shamelessly greedy when it comes to spiritual things HAHAS]

So concludes the last entry of this blog (:

Love, Chloe

Uni camp is in 2 days

2 days...

Uni camp Plugged In 2010 is in 2 days. I can't believe the speed at which things are happening. Next week is my WKWSCI FOC! O.o Just last year, I was excited about going there as a freshman & getting to know people & make new friends.

HAHAS Long gone are the days when I cried in camp (Primary school & Sec 1). & long gone are the days I find it hard to make friends with strangers. Besides maturing, God had a big part to play (:

I am taking a well-deserved break from banner painting (uni camp comm), blasting songs (sshhh, it's a special activity), chionging HopeSem project (due next Tues during my WKWFOC), HopeSem reading (90+ more pages to go AAAHHH also due on next Tues), YOG research (YOG practicum), brushing up my skills on video editing, photography & post-production (for future use in school & for many other purposes) tomorrow before gearing up to serve God & His people in Plugged In.

I am *drum rolls* going for a date with my sis to Nihon Mura buffet tomorrow. Student price $19.90, 2:30-5:30pm. I am going to eat non-stop. Have planned not to eat udon or don. Sorry, no carbs & all meat! This is my first time trying it, hope it's worth it & they give you enough variety @_@

Then there's practice & must sleep early for Friday because we are going early to hang the banners at the camp site.

Whoo...

But I am so excited for my 1st full uni camp [I wasn't there for the full camp last year cause I was still in youth]

Despicable Me is better in 3D (: Seriously. & oh yes, it is really heart-warming because deep down I pray for the day my parents can be more outward in showing their love for us.

The yellow cutie minions are just unbeatably adorable!! See what I mean? (x

It was great spending time with Sihui, Kah Yee & Zhiqiang. Good food at Astons, heartwarming movie, chillaxing with coffee/tea & kaya toast with great people. What more could you ask for? Stella & Ruixia joined us at Ya Kun when we were snacking (;

& after that I still ate a full Pon Tian Wanton Mee meal @_@ AAAHHH I am gona become fat. But oh well, I will lose it all over the 9 consecutive days of camps starting Friday.

On a sidenote, I watched Eclipse. It was alright, I'd say better than New Moon, but I still don't like the Edward portrayed by Robert Pattinson. Ugh oh well~I'd like the movie's Bella more if she didn't always look like she was forever in agony, even in scenes that were supposed to convey happiness -.-"

Stem cell research debate

I have been staring at the computer since 12plus working on our HopeSem project. Our group, consisting of the crazy Luke, sensible Wenwei, talkative but really on fire for this topic Louis, have decided to explore whether stem cell research (using embryonic stem cells & killing the embryo) is ethical in the Christian point of view.

There are many grey areas to this topic & I think I understand why Louis strongly suggested this topic.

WAH

Genesis 18:14

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

Why do I always chiong to do things & my to-do list is never ending -.-" Chloe, stop!! Let me stand back & revere the majesty of the Lord

Most hated thing about moving house: PACKING TT____TT

My parents have been nagging me non-stop so I decided that rather than incur their wrath, I shall stay at home & finish packing by 4pm then go out onto the streets with Beloved to take random photos & for the outing with dear "Clique 10" later :D instead of going to Punggol for a photog expedition

I am going to be VERY VERY ruthless with my things

Cause our house is uber small & there's not much space to keep stuff.
Goodbye encouragement cards, decorative items, birthday presents I haven't had the heart to throw~

*waves in misery*

Failed plans for 2 GER-PEs

OH NO

AAAHHH 1 of the 2 GER-PE STS I planned to take is mutually exclusive with a core module that I cleared last sem ): Oh no, I think STARS won't allow me to add it -.-" SAD. There goes my plan to score an A for that module because I took it before TT____TT

Oh no now I have to shift my GER-PE backwards to Year 4 [."] & now my timetable for this sem is a little stuck.

1 Core

3 PEs

1 GER-PE STS

Total: 19AUs

But it's so core-intensive! O.o & there goes my plan to take TV Practicum this semester [."]
