at sixes and sevens
this post is not gonna be in chronological order because my mind can't function in that order.
last day of school at fajar left me with all the rubbish i've accumulated over the wks.
my 2T2 students were simply sweet with songs on guitars. i'm jus gonna flaunt till i get sick of it even though they don't sound excellent. ha
all my barang barang from fajar was chucked everywhere in the room.
it was totally messy. amazingly, i managed to survive in this mess for a few days before i decided to do a total cleaning and packing.
start time: 8pm 080909
end time: 1am 090909
(i haven finish packing my wardrobe but i've decided to give up that part of packing)
dead beat! but somehow i can't sleep now.
stood at the car at my hse with wenjun and yuhang to talk for 1 and a half hours.
we're incredible right! ha
Just replied to Mr. 12 years old's email.
feels weird emailing (to get to know a person) someone who's a cycle older than me.
oh wells. just befriending a new person! tt's what many had advised.
wenjun mentioned that she don't understand why people are trying to get me off my shelf. neither do i.
i'm at the state of equilibrium right now. not ready for any shifts or changes.
massage and seafood at malaysia with a few church ppl were good!
the lady who did massage for me left me with a few bruise spots. supposedly to loosen the "jin".
wenta timbre with 9 other yf ppl.
disclaimer: we're there to listen to the band and not to drink.
walked from orchard central to timbre with wenjun and yuhang who in the end did not join us.
pictures taken on the way.
that was the very first time i tried the roasted duck pizza thou i've been there quite a few times. yummy!
i'm BROKE! TOTALLY!
and i don't like indian food!
had lunch at Go India at Vivo with the nie gang to listen to story.
one of my friend quit! she had a lousy CT and she quit! so sad!
if she stayed on, i'd think she'll be a very good and influential teacher!
in any case, the choice was hers.

goin nuts.
i've finally decided to be back for awhile.
1 more week to end of practicum. goin back to nie (my honeymoon place). =)
my students are gonna play their guitar for me on my last day! ha
went for an indian wedding for my very first time. interesting cultural difference.
the thing that's making me nuts is my mum's friend is trying to MATCHMAKE me to someone!
i'm totally lost for words. i could only shake head and sigh.
she's quite serious about it. passed the guy's and his family's photos to my mum and gave me a whole summary of his background.
WHY AM I IN SUCH A SITUATION?
i would laugh at people on shows goin for matchmaking sessions and now!!! i'm being match made. roar!
i'm suddenly afraid of my future in terms of marriage.
i'm can't seem to find someone else whom i really liked after my first.
(disclaimer esp. for liying: this is not a love declaration. its talkin bout HISTORY! ha)
sometimes i do think that i am weirdly but wonderfully made by God. ha
OUT OF POINT!

hongkong 4+7.
4 days in HK brings me 7 days of LOA (leave of absence).
today is day 3 of LOA.
i was dying for the past 2 days.
suppose to start school today but i'm stuck home.
i know i have loads of things to do the moment i step back to school but i can't do anything now.
i think stayin at home for 7 days not being able to go anywhere makes u feel even more unwell.
but come to think of it, this 7 days came quite timely thou i've been complaining.
i've been rushing and rushing, thru' mission trip and yf camp, then to hk.
God is forcing me to REST with this LOA i think.
i mentioned bout being tired - physically, mentally and spiritually.
this is probably the time to find REST in HIM.
i'm lazy to upload pics but will try to do soon la.

one litre of tears.
honestly i dunno how many gallons of tears i've generated this june.
i'm also unsure why i become so emotional.
i suddenly feel like i'm an egg. it feels hard on the outside but its brittle.
where has the strong girl (at least to me) gone?
june is like a month of tears collection for me.
it wasn't intended to be so.
it shld be a fun month because i have no school. its holidays.
but i felt tired, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
i've been praying to experience Him daily but its like roller coaster rides.
i go up and i come down.
i think this is a process of serving. i need to learn to overcome all these.
God please remove all the tears.
i've cried enough.
no more tears please.
i want to be joyful, enjoying every little step u've prepared for me.
i don't want to be just doing THINGS.
i wanna LOVE like how You first LOVED us.
give me back the first love i had for You!
"brokenness, disappointment, confusion
give them all to the God of restoration..."
sorry la. emo. month.
kai will recover soon! =)

family.
i was touched by this reply from my sis.
"dear sis, thanks for your sharing of God's words! it definitely encourages..."
it was mere sharing of a verse to encourage my sis as she'd been bogged down by work since march.
this made me realize, we're always so generous in encouraging friends but when it comes to family, we're stingy.
in fact, everyone needs to feel loved, including our family members.
they are actually the people who tolerate all our nonsenses and still love us for who we are. therefore, cherish!
i'm learning to be more open to sharing at home. i hope anyone who reads this will try too. =)

self-worth.
sometimes i wonder...
who exactly is kaien.
i have conflicting minds many times.
i only know i'm a child of God.
but what constitutes to my personality, character, anything?
at times, i realized i may not be as strong as i wanna be.
i think i am actually quite an egoistic person.
i can't be totally vulnerable to others.
i can't appear emotional to others.
i may also be quite defensive at times.
what am i?
who am i?
decided to listen to WHO AM I by CASTING CROWNS.
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours...
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

spin.
i am feeling nausea now.
an unplanned 'road trip' from the west to the east for 2 hours in the searching for sze's precious car.
we spinned up and down carparks, drive along alleys, searching high and low for her toyota axio but to no avail.
my dear friend woke up from her dream only now.
said to be once bitten twice shy, but apparently this case its twice bitten trice shy.
she could have save this trip if she hadn't gone back to that irritating guy.
soft-heart is to be blamed.
my head's still spinning from the ride around.
sze's friend drives at crazy speed!

exciting sunday.
sundays are especially long for me.
i'll usually serve in the morning service, stay out with the yf ppl and go back for evening service.
so far, i still find it enjoyable though at times a lil' tiring.
this sunday was exciting man.
i didn't manage to recover my slp for night cycling on sat.
played left 4 dead after yf. (i've always wondered why the guys are so addicted to LAN and now i know)
i had to play the keys for chinese service.
eunice and i had to lead bible study for our church's bible class on the book of judges.
i had to lead worship for evening service.
so many things in just a day. exciting right?
bible study came to an end.
a picture for our victory. ha.
went to oriole for the first time after hearing much from zhiyuan and eugene.
i'm not a coffee lover and hence i can't tell how fantastic the coffee was.
the coffee did not attract me but the nice ambience did.
i'm definitely goin there again. prob bring sam mama there. she's a sucker for coffee. ha
leading worship in ECS was quite good.
everyone did really well and i saw the congregation really worshipping God.
it was so beautiful!

more than 24 hrs friday.
had brunch at riders cafe.
non-airconditioned place with smell of horses.
quite a nice place thou.
food's not bad too, but a lil' expensive.
looking at all the Caucasians there, enjoying their tea, chit chatting. what a relax and enjoyable afternoon to have spent there. i want it too ;(
the exciting night came - night cycling.
17 people in total.
all of us were excited and ready for the long journey ahead.
but along the way there were quite a few 'accidents'.
some's chain came off, some fell and my bike's paddle came off.
some of the brothers became the repairmen, attempting to fix the bike.
we were way behind time due to the hiccups reaching east coast park's mac only at 2am.
we all started whining and complaining bout our aching butts and legs.
despite all the complaining, we managed to reach our final destination - KAP's mac much earlier than planned.
everyone was so relieved that we could finally rest our butts and feet.
each time we'll complain bout the long and disgusting journey of night cycling but we'll somehow still join it whenever there's one! ironical.

neverending.
work never cease to come.
i have assignments after assignments, tests after tests, presentations after presentations.
and most importantly, i am a PROCRASTINATOR!
tomorrow's good friday.
is it true that we'll only remember how Jesus died for our sins once a year?
have we been living lives that totally forgot that our lives are redeemed by the blood of Christ?

老地方.
040409. the day where 8990 came up to yf officially.
yf originated from 8586. then came 8788. now 8990.
老地方 was the theme cus we were once together in jyf and yf now should be a place of familiarity.
the worship set was led by the coolie boys.
the coolie boys existed because of the dresscode - 70's.
after worship was mass taboo.
everyone went hysterical.
the crux of the programme was the careboard.
its finally revived.
we hope to bring back the culture of writing care notes and caring for one another.
the lovely 8990s who came up.
some were absent, but of course not forgotten.
the yf - now! huge ya.
the individual groups:
ahava - love.
renava - joy.
tikvah - hope.
the prog ended with dinner at buddy hoagies.
and finally...
the organizers of 老地方.

lang gah.
wednesday wasn't a good day for me.
first. i forgot my wallet to school.
second. my family went aussie WITHOUT me!
third. i knocked into a TAXI. yes. of all vehicle...TAXI.
hefty sum. for the first time i had a ROAD accident and for the first time i am paying full amount on my own.
thanks to all the brothers who came down all the way from wherever to help.
i would be damn helpless, honestly.
the accident made me realise one thing.
we're usually drawn back to God when things happen.
i felt the peace from Him today during presentation though the accident case were very much unsettled.
anyway, genxian's a damn good 'scolder'.
credits to him for me being able to settle this issue fast.
sunset grill on thurs went on with another gang because of the accident. level 2 wings.
ubin seafood's steak. treat to probably 'cheer the sad girl up'.
anyway its really good.

mistake.
one mistake led to another.
reluctant to spend 8 bucks, i asked my sis to cut my fringe for me.
it was a mistake cus she can't cut STRAIGHT!
i had to straighten the line for her before doing the thinning.
the thinning part sounded professional.
okie. so i went out for class and all.
came back home and my niece & nephew greeted me with "yiyi, why you cut hair?"
after that statement came "i also wanna cut my hair" said my niece.
so my not so professional hairdress at home aka my sis cut my niece's fringe as well.
tada. the result!

lovely.
a few episodes of my birthday:
episode 1:
dinner/chill with zhiyuan. we counted the no. of years we've been friends and its been a DECADE.
we also concluded that he's a bad company cus he's always bringing me to places to CHILL. ha
wenta timbre at old school. a quieter timbre as compared to substation. nice still.
thank you for being such a wonderful friend who entertains my rubbish. =)
episode 2:
dinner at tonkichi (suntec - suppose to be famous for their katsu) with my family. not too bad.
you have to grind your own sesame for your katsu. smells damn good.
i think i wun be back there again cus the price's quite steep.
episode 3:
dinner at fish and co (west coast plaza) with yf after fellowship. celebrated ellery's and my birthday together.
why fish and co right?
i should have rejected and kept my stand right from the start.
its like stepping into a mine field with full knowledge that it'll kill you.
karma i guess. watched quite a few ppl on the chair and now its my turn.
the consolation is that i have 4 other people with me:
ellery - the birthday boy
liying - the girl who 'flaunted' that her tution kid got the highest in class.
yile and yixiang - the couple supposed to be sabo-ed in place of ellery and myself
episode 4:
my birthday day started with 6hrs straight of lessons.
had a muffin (my birthday cake replacement) from one of my classmate.
its like 'xue zhong song tan' cus i was hungry in the midst of the lessons.
birthday wishes from friends in school whom i haven really known was really heart warming.
episode 5:
dinner at keat hong with my dear AHAVA. i love my group. i love yf.
it was really sweet of them to get me a guitar i've always wanted.
i'm gonna learn hard! =) thanks to all for contributing a part of the guitar.
i was, still am, sooo excited though i dun really seem so when i took over my pressie from them.
episode 6:
cake cutting at home on my actual birth-day is a tradition.
as usual, i did.
but the candles were blown by my nephew.
he was so quick that my niece and i had no chance at all.
before the candles were lit, my nephew said, "yiyi, i want to blow the candles okie?" and he looked at me innocently.
episodes to be continued when i meet up with the others.
simple birthday yet lovely.

paradox.
here i am, seated in a lecture hall blogging away.
i'm jus bored and i've been wanting to say something.
at this point in life, i'm seeking for security.
paradoxically, i'm comfortable with insecurity.
oh. today's my birthday. 24 and still counting.
woah. twenty four. when was eighteen? far behind.
birthday updates later.
am grateful for all the wishes in any form. felt so loved. =)

school trauma.
today's the commencement of my full 5-day week.
had 6 hrs straight of lessons. brain-half-dead.
student teachers are taught to teach in an engaging way
ironically, lessons are boring in nie.
1 hr of class seems like 10 hrs and 1 hr of leisure seems like a min.
how can we switch this around?
i needa tune back to school again.
stabbed a prof and jumped off the building.
this is first in ntu's history i think.
traumatizing.
i was so glad this din happen last yr.
chances of me witnessing the incident's much higher.
there may be things that really pushes you to the edge
but ending your life doesn't solve anything.

beautiful.
the sight in front of me awed me.
eunice, esther and i stepped out of my condo after a swim and we saw a beautifully arc-ed rainbow.
i really marvel at God's wonderful creation.
it became every more beautiful when the second multi-colored arc appear.
the covenant of the rainbow. 彩虹下的约定.
与祢有约，是永恒的约
彩虹为证，千古不变
我要高歌，为生命喜悦
万物歌颂祢的慈爱
大地诉说你的恩典

skepticism.
its 2.55am. 'group time' jus ended with mario kart and supper at al ameen.
stupid baby mario. kept winning.
despite all the crazy and fun, we prayed too.
prayed for a few of them with exams, interviews etc.
nice right.
i can't really remember when was the last time i was drawn to someone.
i can't seem to settle down.
its nice to have one but when i fear to commit.
i'm skeptical.
who's the one to break my skepticism?
i found out something about something. ha
can't really say cus it confidential.
it actually does feel weird knowing about it. i agree now.
ASSIGNMENTS. argh.
my 2-day week's coming to a closure.
here comes 5-day. i guess i'll feel more like a student.

procrastination.
i suddenly realised i have loads of things to do.
u can totally take back ur jealousy of my 2-day week.
i'd rather be in school everyday. at least work will be done more effectively.
no school = staying at home slacking + running errands not relevant to school + pampering myself.
kickboxing was fun yesterday. its gonna be a weekly affair with huiwen! exciting right?!
math test's coming up this sat. i'm soooooooo not ready for it. rusty.
stop me from procrastinating if you can!
