easter 2005 =D jesus you truely rock man. it's not just a easter day or holiday but a victory won forever. there won't be any calender, christmas or salvation =D wow... seeing new faces in heaven when we pass on, i think it's a truely wonderful gift that you gave us. holy, worthy, glory majesty...

i want to thank my image team. jaron jinqi and alicia, you all came down without complains of arriving early just to prepare or the waiting time of waiting aimlessly just for the next person to come up. good and faithful helpers!!! there will be a retreat as soon as jinqi prepares it... throw eggs at her if things are not done well hahahah oops =p but hey image team, we're all a team, we go through tough times (waking up early, getting hands dirty) together and enjoy the fruits (people looking presentable on stage) together too... really, without you all, there won't be image team also =)

di2!!! appreciate my sowed on 9 peeps at one go cl and perd... shelby chua!!! hard work pays off!!! don't see her small in size and pale in colour hahaha she is one tough cookie (milk cookie cos pale mah... not funny meh -_-) , really learn a lot from her especially on washing plates hahaha but ahem back to business, we're seeing more people in nafa liao, birthing out cg soon okie!!! di 6 is ours muahahahaha!!!

neng li, yokes and pecks. all of you never know this but i really really admire and i am learning this from you 3, the simple childlike nature you all 3 possess, the simple things that makes you all laugh like hyenas and the obedient spirit you all has... and lets rub shoulders more ok, make me tear my hair out more often ok and in turn i make u all cry more muahahahah =p

went for dmm and got so ministered and somehow stuff just overwhelmed me, tears just literally drop... somehow got really tired of being a smiley in class, even though how bad my day was but still joke around... tough mask, i'm gonna throw it away!!! and those short outburst of anger from irritating peer pressure of keeping up with everyone... it's tiring... i choose god anytime man... sometimes when i see this particular classmate of mine being bullied in class, i always have this urge to help her out of it but somehow, i'm always holding back and i don't know why... but i can't stand it when people take advantage of others... hmmm... not knowledgeable enough, not eloquent enough, mince words and stammer, speaks with cheena singlish accent so on... i put my security in god. not you, not him, not her, not anyone.

after dmm, went home and called yokes and nengs. nengs was in sleep land as usual heh heh paiseh ah... then while chatting with yokes i was thinking how come i'm swaying and how come the curtains are swaying, it is my fits are coming back? then i looked around to see my key chain swaying also... quake tremours!!! within minutes, sis, pop, me and oscar were running down the steps. from 25th floor to ground floor... call it midnight workout... even halfway down the building, can see that the plants were swaying also... anyways, it was caused by a 8.5 measure richter scale quake in sumatra... scary... was thinking about what if i die now. but i don't want to. what will happen next? why now? it's funny how human can react to circumstances when in dangerous scene... then this came... when you have to die, you can't run away. it's god's plan. ahhhh at least i get to experience life in heaven first heh heh he

going to school later and gosh, homework again and even thought i didnt turn up for any fashion shows or get any free magazines or any interships, i know where my real rewards are. cos i know that this life time doesn't last long and exactly how many boyfriends can you have while you can, how much money can you earn? how high can your status rise? how many branded goods can you have? they all have an expiry date dears...

i'm satisfied with i'm going to received in the future.

thinking: lunch... nutella spread? w/wo bread? hee
song: did you feel the mountains tremble... (can you my fats are shaking) kidding!!!

yoke ling's 1st cg!!! alright!!! even though only 3 of us were there but hey, it was quality time spent well!!! alrights!!! more nafa-ians!!! i really enjoy the cg today... =D

today is the day when my 1st seizure happened, exactly one year ago, on good friday... interestingly, when it happened, someone mistook it as demon possessed... -_-; anyways, thank god when my second relapse happened, i was with my close friends =) yup, epilepsy, a term which used to be alien to me now became a word i use frequently... used to be so touchy about talking about it and now hee opened up =) looking back one year ago, the people in church (junhuang esp for clearing the air about demon possess hahaha) and the rest of the drama people, you guys rock. in the midst of stunned looks and blank minds, you all still manage to keep your cool and help. even though i couldn't remember what you guys did (though i remembered shirley from east telling me her maths problem =p and susi singing) and gloria, for keeping clear minded =) and your shirt to stuff inside my mouth =p but seriously speaking, i don't know what might happened if you all weren't there and justin, sorry about drooling on your jacket when it was used as a pillow...

to clear the air...

epilepsy: a condition characterized by recurrent seizures that are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. seizures can occur for many reasons, including damage to the brain due to infection, injury, birth trauma, tumor, stroke, drug intoxication, and chemical imbalance. epilepsy is usually treated with antiepileptic drugs to control the seizures.

seizure: a seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain that usually affects how a person feels or acts for a short time. some seizures are hardly noticeable, perhaps like the feeling of pins and needles in one thumb for a shorrt time orother seizures might cause the person to become unconscious, fall to the floor, jerk violently for a few minutes. between these extremes is an astonishing range of feelings and actions.

yup in case anything happen to me, just let me lie on my side, don't stuff anything into my mouth and don't panic...

hahaha thinking back i think god let this thing happen to me for a reason... couldn't understand and was quite bitter about it but hee everything's fine now =D hopefully i still can find the pics which pearls, joanne, jaime, ray, benjamin and jon lee took with me which they came down after 2004 easter =) it's funny how i'm being restricted to some stuff like drinking stuff with caffaine, alcohol, driving, no camp fires for me, no cooking unsupervised... ahahaha no fret, i'll just drink tea, sparkling juice, take public transport and hire a maid... bleah but i still have 2 more years to finish those pills!!!

thinking: going for shepherding race tmr and visit pearls forfree tiramisu ice cream...muahaha
song: inuyasha's theme song

went for dmm just now and learnt about god's characters... compassionate is one real thing that i want to see myself having more of it. with unloving people or should i say it's easier to see the faults of others than in ourselves... anyways, compassionate, be it anyone, or even those close to me... i want to love them, not only in speech but also in actions... remember, empathy, not sympathy =)

read this somewhere and i think it's absolutely hilarious - cinderella must be written by a man because a woman will never leave her shoes behind. how true and i'm sure all of us females have a little imelda marcos spirit in us hee hahaha =p and oh yes, once i earn my bucks, manolos, choos and louboutin will soon conquer my future show cabinet... though this friday hopefully ah jane and ah bee will stay overnight at my house and heh, will the heels theme be on?but bee, i
will still tower over you... whahahahaha =p

was thinking about some incidents involving my loved one, with her searching for love (human love) yet she got hung up high and dry time and time again... i really hope that she can find love in god cos it's everlasting... seeing how bad her life was, i kinda feel afraid of my own married life in the future... this thought came when meimei asked me what kinda plans do i have for marriage... hahaha certainly not now but much much later... so my jiwei, 10 more months to go okie, try beating pastor jeff and claudia's 9 months courtship =p

thinking: tired
song: forget me not water? hahaha

on saturday morning at blk 35 toa payoh carpark - 7 cars got broken into. 2 of them belonging to us... sheesh... because of the cash cards... actually i think this serves as a lesson for not taking out the cash card... though we don't have to pay for the damages, AIA taking care of that but still... -_-;

going to school later on, tons of projects and our teacher is very f-u-n-n-y. suddenly pushing us for projects within 2 weeks just for her module when we still have eeks, other 9 modules left! i might as well camp in school since there's hotel 88 opp. gosh i really need some good time managment. and it's crazy when most of my cg peeps timing is nuts... sow and contacts... urgh kinda driving me nuts, most can't be reached and timing also buay zoon... kulabashante =) god is still in control and i can do it! sleep late and wake up earlier loh =p

wanted to buy salted bird eye peas on saturday at carrefour, but looking at the queue wha very long sia so we ended up tasting peanut butter for free and playing with ice and looking at knitted wear... bee and mine's top wanted list item esprit $80 knitted sweater... hohoho expensive sia...

i can't see the calmness of god if i keep on ranting about my piling projects and time managment. *relax, god's in charge*as the pass it on message card on my table shows.

Little drummer boy draws the crowds

WHEN he was two years old, little Ethan Ong started hunting around the house for Milo tins, Tupperware and a pair of chopsticks to bang them with. Not satisfied with that, he arranged sofa cushions around himself to construct a make-believe drum set. Whenever that happened, his family members could not move the cushions.If they tried, his father, Mr Bernard Ong, said, 'he would get quite upset'. The 31-year-old operations manager and his wife Christina, also 31, decided to buy the boy a child's drum set - at least the family could sit down then. Thrilled with his little set, Ethan would drum away by himself for hours, accompanied by gospel tunes on the family's stereo. Now five, the boy not only has his very own $1,000 five-piece drum set, but is also possibly the youngest busker in Singapore. Since receiving his endorsement letter from the National Arts Council in December, the kindergarten pupil has pulled in crowds of up to 80 at a time outside Takashimaya and Metro Paragon.

So far he has performed six times, though his appearances cannot be scheduled.His mother said: 'He decides when he wants to play, like a true artist with a temperamental streak.'When The Straits Times visited Ethan at his house in Holland Road, the boy peeked out from behind a swivelling leather chair and said he wanted to busk 'because I feel good and I want to share my talent'.Then he skipped to his drum set for a demonstration. For the next few minutes, the drumsticks flicking in his hands were a blur, while his right foot rode the bass drum pedal in time to a gospel tune. The Ongs, who also have a two-year-old son, said they engaged a professional drummer three weeks ago to give Ethan formal training and would happily support him if he wanted to become a professional himself. For now, though, Ethan has more ambitious goals. Holding his Pokemon cards and Mighty Beanz toy, he said: 'I want to be a race car driver.

at my previous church cotl, i was pretty stunned by this little boy that jaime took care of and he was like this tiny 3 year old toddler-but when he climbed onto stage and start to play my redeemer lives. wow. my jaws dropped. esp the solo drums part... of cos with his legs a tad too short to step on the bass drum but everything was like wow to me... i really couldn't believe my eyes then... and now, playing forever and a day his current favourite... wow...

thinking: easter dresscode... funky funky~(hendra's accent)
song: my reedemer lives =D

just a personal thought...

what is attractive to you? in terms of outer appearances. skinny? pretty? handsome? i believe beauty in the eyes of the beholder. what seems attractive to me might not be so for you. so how come all women have a common topic to relate to - losing weight. if you're slightly overweight and you need to trim down to be careful of your health is perfectly understandable but what about already reed thin people and they still think they need to lose weight is kinda far fetch to me... it's no wonder why beauty salons and slimming salons are earning big bucks and not to mention, the rising % of men's salons and make up lines for men are quite common too. are we getting more vain or are we just getting more conscious of how we look. though it puzzles me even up till now who are we dressing up for.

for you? for me? for her? for him?
dressing attractively or dressing to attract?
you ponder and maybe tell me =)

but for now, i think looking clean and simple is the way to go. stick to do whats right and what's good for you and your health. remeber, being whatever size you're made to be, live with it and be happy cos you're being made like that for a reason. =)

thinking: more homework and drama =)
song: centre of my life *melts*

i'm broke but i'm happy
i'm poor but i'm kind
i'm tall but i'm healthy, yeah
i'm high but i'm grounded
i'm sane but i'm overwhelmed
i'm lost but i'm hopeful baby
what it all comes down to
is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
cos i've got one hand in my pocket
and the other one is giving a high five *piak*

yeah, a funny day i had today, miscomms especially... =p anyways, i felt good today, cos i helped my dad out when he challenged me to clear the stall's floor (filled with innards and fish heads with eyes looking at you and oh yeah, blood too haha) he laughed at me and said no lah it's ok, i'll clean it later on, but still, i love my papa, so i cleared for him. yeah!!! but gross sia hahaha

played bball today, fun day and i think it's been ages since i play bball ever since school started and when i see the people there playing guitars, discussing about drama, chatting basically sharing life together even though we're all in diff units and from all walks of life but we're united in our hearts because we have god in us =) simple game that brings people together, dinner that we all enjoyed, a chat or two breaks the ice and a smile that brings a smile to everyone. pnl was quite nice esp the chix but i have to say, i got so thirsty i just kept drinking the soya bean and thus, i couldn't finish my rice... hahaha went home with jaime and wanted to play mahjong later on but study comes first so the game was axed -_-...

anyways my pop is darn funny, apparently he's been using this funny hair gel and it dried up thus causing him to have some flakes in his hair when he ruffles his hair... and then he ask me, eh my hair can snow one. yao kan mah*actions* hahahahahaha but eh how ah can cure or not...

thinking: rotiboy is nice when you bite to the bottom of it, thats when you can taste the butter... ooohhh mama
song: ray charles' version of... the so sad song... very sad indeed

just got home and spent like 60 bucks on printing papers alone and that excludes the many many many A3 size papers and binding... and that's for one proj only =) so still has many more to go =( hahaha i'm going broke and crazy... but's it's okie, my rewards are in heaven...

argh, wasn't too pleased with my teacher's comments about my own drawings. it's funny how 80% of the class copied her template and got good marks and we (ming john and me) didn't. and i'm confirmed that she said, go home and either use mine or your own... (and i thought fashion students are encouraged to have a free mind) comment of the day, your model eat pills to grow hair ah. heh, maybe she did have too much hair but seriously speaking, being a melocholic, i want my work to be the best i can give and i don't want anything to go wrong. but when i kept on thinking about the negative side (that includes how much we used to dislike her back in yr 2, adding on to the dislike part), complaining to poor john... ooohhh

this struck me, being leaders, we all should take harsh critics in the right way and not store up bitterness, we should take the content of the critic and not the person, maybe i didn't do something right, maybe i should stop blaming my poor teacher and start to do it even better this time =)

doing some calling later on, really have no time for a lot of sow let alone homework but i still must do my best in everything i can. cos if moses can part the red sea then i guess this little homework problem cant do much to me =)

haha i better smile more cos i think i look too fierce... this is not the 1st time i'm hearing about that image girl, the very fierce one -_- gentleness =D

sometimes i really really REALLY wonder, one of the things i would really want to ask god is... is pms for real or just an excuse for losing own's temper?

thinking: AI ZAI!!!
song: french kiss soundtrack

wow, yesterday's third ss was great, the atmosphere, the pnw... everything =) really thank god for the people who are doing their best at serving god and us. kudos to all of you *claps* lets cont to have a consistant level of excellence alrights? =D

the mime was particulary funny with amy acting all bratty and eugene's scene of putting the paper bag over amy's head is priceless. veron, you rock too with your flipping of hair =)

oh, for my 2 very dedicated readers like perd and sheep (j) i bet both your eyes were wide open throughout ss right? snigger* aha, next time when i plan the dresscode, i might hint you so that you ALL can wear alike. uniform attire ok mah? =P

going to finish my product developement proj. ciao =)

thinking: LOTR (leafy and pearls... i want to have a date with you guys again...)
song: everybody praise ( this song rocks)

hmmm, the haze's been pretty bad lately, plus the smell of it irritates my nose a lot... tonight nafa is officially open with our president gracing the event =)

went shepherding today but it became a shopping trip instead cos both bee and me were forced to by my sis (kidding)...

while my sis was driving, she blast kokomo along the highway, it felt like i was in kokomo with the blue sky, clear waters, and HDB flats... hahaha

been praying about the same weakness over and over again, i'm starting to overcome it more and more =D yipee!!! more weaknesses to overcome!!!

Q: what kind of fish has armpit hair?
A: mermaid

availability is not going to stop me anymore.

thinking: 3rd ss
song: fly me to the moon (yvonne kwek's singlish version)

busy busy busy... but i like being busy. making full use of my time to serve, work and play... okie the play part is a fantasy... time management is very important =D before school, i prayed while traveling because i know that this week is crammed with projects week so there will not be any sow fixed, let alone calling because most of the time i'll be in school even after school time because my comp is super laggy (loading into jpeg takes 1 hour and i've got tons of things to do on photoshop), i prayed for me to meet my nafa contacts in school (by faith!!!) and guess what?! i met natalie!!! and we chatted and hahaha of all places i met her in her visual arts school =D

dad was funny, he let go of the 3 luo hans at home into macritchie reserviour and then he said he saw a lot of people jogging so he decided to join them too =) funny pops

missed dmm yesterday because of a plate of nasi lemak... that plate of nasi lemak was so darn oily, as in literally OILY... and then for the rest of the day, i just want to vomit, felt nauseous and giddy... went home and stoned, headache for the rest of the night... eeewww no more nasi lemak for me... =p

pls guess the answer and tag me. if you know the answer, pls be selfish and keep it to yourself.
