My Sunday!!!

Been a long time since I've blogged...

Anyway had such an exciting Sunday that I have to blog about it...

1.  Jamie, Chloe and I went to buy balloons to surprise my brother and sister when they came back from malaysia... we bought a lot a lot of balloons!!

  Then we stuffed it all into Jamie's car... it was really an incredible sight.. every one looked at our car as we drove around... 

  Here's a picture of chloe and all the balloons... she said she was choking on the smell of aluminium..

more photos...

The final surprise... 

2.  We went to saddle club and saw horses...

it was such a surreal place.. quaint and pleasant

Didn't seem like singapore

3.  We went to Orchard Central..

The new shopping centre... didn't have much... was a horrible carpark.  I got dizzy driving up. 

found Pastor's fav. sandwich place there... Quizno... a new outlet opened there... we ate a sandwich on 50% discount... :)

Bumped into a coffee bean man... 

We were going up and down the escalator to catch the lights at the right colour... 

4. I went back home and cooked dinner for my family when they came back...

Was Happy Father's Day...

Steak with mushrooms and boiled broccoli 

Asparagus wrapped with bacon

Portobello mushroomed baked with bacon and mozzarella cheese

Was a nice dinner... 

My Sister and brother were very happy to see the balloons... My sister came to hug me after that... Aww.... 

that's all... =) see you soon!

can't wait for pastors and rinnah to be back this friday. 

happy chinese new year

It's the year of the Ox... so just want to wish every one a very Happy "Nui" Year

It's a very different new year this year... I'm in Cebu ... 

That might mean less Ang Baos for me.  Ha ha...

Every year now is very significant because i don't have many more years of collections... 

But anyway after this break I really hope to come back more recharged and energised to continue to "chiong" and do more things. 

I realised that as we grow up we will be faced with more and more grown up issues in life.  Life's sometimes not as straight forward and simple.  But I guess these things can't be avoided and we just have to grow and deal with them when they come. But as we grow up there are many things that make us happy too... and I'm happy to grow up. 

I also thank God that we are born in a 1st world nation.  Looking at the people in the Phillipines, I can't imagine living in such conditions and lifestyles.  Despite us still having problems etc, I think all of us born in Singapore should thank God and count our blessings.  Life may not be perfect... but we are already very fortunate.  

Anyway... no starfish yet...

Can't wait to be back... 1.5 more days!!! =) Miss being back in Singapore... 

In Cebu

Hi everyone...

Happy Chinese New Year!  Every one seems to be overseas ...

Some are in Australia, some in KL and I'm in Cebu, Philippines... 

Just arrived here today, the flight was about 3 hours plus.  Do really miss being back in Singapore.  But at least Pastors and Rinnah are here together with me.  

Anyway, things are quite boring for now... went swimming for a while today with my siblings.  Food is quite nice though.  

I realised that technology is such a cool thing.  It links people up all over the world.  i can't imagine how centuries ago, people had to write snail mail to each other and it would have taken months to reach the other party.  Now we have instant email, sms, skype, "pin"ing for Blackberry... everything is so instantaneous.  So though we are all so far apart we still are very much connected and in tune with each other's lives.  Thank God for technology!

But technology can be irritating too... Pst Lia's blackberry Pin has some problem, so she can't ping people.  So let's keep her phone in prayer. 

Things I plan to do in Cebu... 

1. Do my internship report ... if not I can't graduate... 

2. Catch up on my BRP

3. Rest... sleep... 

4. Spend time with my family... 

5. Reply emails

6. Exercise?

7. Shopping... 

Maybe catch a tan... and maybe a starfish too... ha ha.. 

But honestly I can't wait to be back... 

i'm back... school's back ... but it will be out soon...

It's 9 am and I'm in school again, in a very boring class about intelligent organization...

On my left is tay weili, on my right is daniel goh... great to have them in the same class.  it makes a very boring lesson a bit more tolerable. but anyway it's my last semester in school... hurray! 

Good things about leaving school...

- no more exams

- no more school fees

- no more boring classes

- no more horrible SMU food

- no more 8.30am classes

- I get a degree

- It's finally over! 

- New phase in life

- Most of all more time to do more in church

Bad things about leaving school...

- less opportunities to make new friends

- no more student concessions and student price!!! argh...

- less time to blog... 

- No more allowance

- Makes me feel older

but overall i guess it's great to be finally graduate... 

but need to finish my internship report and comm service hours...
