did u realise i havent been online for about a week? haha.. my modem was down!! i couldn't come online. but xuehan (my cousin) was telling me it's the best time for my internet to be down cos my prelims are coming up in 2 weeks. i had my chem pract last fri. and it was super draining! felt so tired after that. and it's actually the 1st time in my jc life to complete 3 experiments so fast! anyway i got my whole 2nd qn wrong cos i drew the wrong graph. argh! and i realised i wrote carboxyl group, when i actually meant carbonyl. shucks.. wonder how many marks that's gonna cost me. cos those 2 words mean different things.

taking a look back at my past week, i was really smittened by 2 guys. one is boonsak ponsana! he's this cute badminton player from thailand who plays well and loses graciously! the guy who won susilo and was later defeated by 2 indonesians. btw he's on olympic scholarship. another guy is david yeo! the ah beng from singapore idol. haha! actually i noticed him long ago, but after his makeover on wed night, he looked even better! :) and u know wad the coincidence is?? both these guys r law students and 22 years of age! hahaha! not that i've got a liking for lawyers.. hahaha...

well.. now really got to get deep into books. i've been failing all my mocks and i dunno wad to do. quite a few things are happening, and of cos it's not very encouraging for me. sometimes i do wonder where God is taking me. gotta stay faithful and keep running with endurance. on a lighter note, peilin came back to church yesterday! happy for her!

i'll spread my wings and i'll learn how to fly. i'll do what it takes til i touch the sky.. make a wish, take a chance, make a change..

i feel so tired. been having tests on sat so often. and right now my stomach is giving me some problems...

athens fever is in the air! sigh.. li jiawei lost to the north korean woman! she actually started very well.. even won one set 11-0!! the north korean woman was so irritating.. she kept shouting throughout the match. anyway hope jiawei gets bronze so she can win prize $$$ to marry susilo. haha.. :)

i was just going thru some old spiritual diaries i wrote to teacher michael when i was in pri5 & 6. really thank God for someone like him, who spends time reading thru untidy handwritings and replying notes of encouragement to his kids. notes which speak personally to every person. he has invested a lot of time and energy to guiding children and leading them in the ways of the Lord. he is such a great man of God! he wrote me many many things, urging me to have a heart for nations, to see myself rising up, to be a prayer warrior, and all the promises of God for my life. which i have failed to keep up after i left cc. however, these i shall claim back now. i shall move on and not look back, although i do regret slipping away from His presence for the past 4 years in sec sch. now i feel driven to do my best in everything He has placed in my hands! and one day, i wanna be like teacher michael, to love and impact people like he does. i have only one life. live it.

Habakkuk 2:3 'For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come. It will not tarry.'

ronald susilo lost to thailand's boonsak ponsana! 1st set 10-15, 2nd set 1-15!!! wad a disappointing defeat. rather saddening...

today was an eye opener for me. after school, delvina stayed with me to wait for photo taking. in the end it was cancelled. and i waited 1hr plus for it! nobody informed me until i saw yuerui outside the library.
so i headed down to nus to meet huifang and the others. in the bus i caught the badminton quat finals! cos guen told me it's at 2pm, so i was rather sad abt missing it. so exciting.. but no susilo. there was a cute danish guy though. haha..

del and i got down at the wrong bus stop. we decided to walk to nus art blk cos it looked just round the corner. haha.. quite a long walk actually. then we managed to locate the canteen which is called THE DECK. i figured that was the canteen cos i saw a fork and knife. nus's food is real cheap!! and much better than cj's. they even have genki sushi. later after huifang finished her food we went to nuh. via the mortuary side. so creepy.

hospitals always carry a gloom. we went to the children's ward cos jianting hasn't turned 16. wad a joke for a big guy to be there. haha! i felt so sad for this little kid i saw who had to walk around with a drip. and there was a 1 wk old babe who had high fever. the baby was such a bundle of joy! i felt so much love swelling up inside me as i looked at it... sigh.. anyway had a 'good' time sitting in the bus on the way home also. del and i took it from the wrong side and it went one loop round nus before going to the mrt. i appreciated her company today. :)

o ye of little faith! today fang actually asked me to pray for jt. but i was hesistant cos i felt inadequete. so i came up with excuses. del said if her cgl gave her the chance she'd definitely go ahead. nvm.. gotta work on my confidence.

time for amazing race!!

wad a weekend! i've got so much things to say. firstly, the fireworks i caught were really awesome! although it lasted only for awhile. can't be compared to may day's one. i went kayaking with some cg friends too. supposed to be only a few of us but in the end so many people! it was quite a disaster cos of some technical problems. my brother's and ben lim's boat capsized in the middle of the sea. quite far from shore. then me and jason went over to save them, and in the process jason's boat capsized. but we managed to empty the water, however when ben was getting onto the kayak my boat wasn't stabalized so i capsized too. even huifang and jeanie who thought they could escape eventually had their kayaks turned over by the guys. wad a day! i think everyone had their turns at capsizing! haha..

just had students ic meeting at my place led by terrence. i'm quite inspired by him cos he leads praise and worship so exuberantly! it was so good! although there were only 8 of us.. but i can say it was a time of refreshing and restoring lost visions.

do u know wad! i saw veroy on singapore idol yesterday and he was humiliated by the judges. poor boy! and i saw on the shots another female singer from children's church. hope she fared well. haha! this is so amusing.

today was quite an enjoyable day, despite getting my ezlink confiscated by michael tan for socks. anyway he came into our class to do this impromtu spot check, and i was among some of those who got caught. so after pe, mitch, cheryl and i went to see MT and he brought us to the hall and asked us to move chairs out and back in again. ridiculous rite, there were so many rows. mitch very funny, she said must ask clara they all to help so we can move faster. but he was just scaring us la. i kinda knew he wont get us to do such a stupid thing.

ellien came back today. so she and liangyi, gladys, cheryl, shiaoen went out to eat. then mitch also joined them. she asked me to walk out together with them and i ended up going to makan with them! haha. quite fun! i enjoyed myself talking nonsense to those people. there's a different side to those whom i view as studious kids. haha! we went to this place at TP, i cant remember the name, to eat those jap rice boxes thingy. i drank 2 bowls of miso soup! (gladys gave me hers) so nice. =) . yup the food was not bad too. so good of mitch to introduce us to that place. then we chatted for awhile and laughed and laughed. had really a nice time. i feel that our class is more united now! different cliques starting to mix around. and i'm starting to really love being in 2T29, when i've only got 3 months left in cjc. haha. better late than never!

tofu miso soup! my latest craze.

Miso Soup(with tofu and green onion)

3 tbsp miso paste
1/4 cup chopped green onion

How to Cook:

2. Cut tofu into small cubes and add them to the soup.
3. Scoop out some soup stock from the pan and dissolve miso paste in it.
4. Return the soup in the pan.
5. Stop the heat and add chopped green onion.

i just got home from school.. studied a little with delvina (actually not her only) today. the library was freezing! in fact the whole day i felt cold. anyway today during econ remedial, we sat around nathan. he din have jun'01 ppr so he jus asked us for qns to clarify. suddenly that sean loke asked abt privatisation, and i dunno why, i was quite tickled by his qn so i started giggling. then it seemed like something triggered off and more ppl started giggling. haha! and nathan asked 'am i funny?' which made me wanna laugh more. the whole time i couldnt look at his face or sean's face else i'd start laughing out loud. sean was using his tie to cover his suppressed smile. hahaha..

alright after econ i had to wait 2 lessons for del. so i was thinking there's nobody to stay with me, but sean stayed back awhile to teach me complex 3, in the end i took mana's ppr. then daphne came when sean was abt to leave. then siang hong came. so i was quite glad for the unplanned company. oh! that jeremy's really FON. yest he went down during svc for prayers, then when no one attended to him after he stood in front for awhile, he went up again. FON! and he's super lame la.. 'wads the park that links bishan to amk? linkin park. wads gingerbreadman without legs? limp bizkit.' del's smart idea of jokes also.

ok time to continue with my math. i seem to be having mock tests every wk.
