with me always

Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, doesn't have a swelled head, doesn't force itself on others, isn't always "me first."

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, THE MESSAGE






pingy

dear God I must confess
that sometimes You seem far away
sometimes i forget about
how i stand because of grace

but Lord there's been a change in me
a change i hope will stay
for this is my prayer today

the preety maid... lol | 1:05 AM
wuahahahaha.

wad a day.
i was sitting at the bus stop, and suddenly someone tapped me real hard from the back.
so the first thought that came to mind was that it was a friend.
but when i turned, i saw this lady which i totally don't know and she was speaking something i couldn't make out of cos i had my earphones on. so i just figured she might me one of those crazy ppl hanging around in the bus stop. but i took out my earphones anyway. den she asked...

"YOU FILIPINO?"

and i.. "er... no..."

den she,

"INDONESIAN?"

"er... no..."

"oh... sorry sorry"

at first i was really puzzled when she asked the first question. den when the second question came, it dawned upon me that i looked like a maid and that she just needed someone to talk to.
oh my goodness.
my sister would be gloating if she heard this. cos she ALWAYS say i look like a maid.

i want to piao bai! wo tai hei le. hahaha. wei he!

okay.. den i went for a swim and i told lowell that i dun want to be any darker..
den we both said..
"indian?" at the same time. pretty hillary.

after swimming i met some zph ppl at one of vera's place for cell, den we went for dinner at carls junior. oh my. super full. i added tooooo much sugar syrup to my drink and the chicken in the burger was so dry and the burger was so big. so i'm like really full now and all the effort at swimming is all gone! ahhhhhhhh. i wasted one day. anyway. they had a really good time laughing at my maid encounter. they kept filipino-ing me the whole night. thanks ah.

jeremy stays just like 200-300 meters away from me now. a friend in the neighbourhood. pretty cool man. alright. going off. so tired from swimming and eating. haha.

X-linked recessive inheritance | 4:48 AM

X-linked inherited diseases occur far more frequently in males because they only have one X chromosome. Females must receive a copy of the gene from both parents to have such a recessive disease. However, they will still be carriers if they receive one copy of the gene. Recessive genes on the X chromosome that cause serious diseases are usually passed from female carriers to their ill sons and carrier daughters. This is because males, who always have the disease and are not just carriers, would have to father a daughter to pass on the gene. This is unlikely because severe genetic diseases often cause death in childhood or early adulthood. Even those males who survive childhood are unlikely to father children because a sickly male will be less likely to find a mate. However, if the disease shows up late in life, or is not severe, he will pass the gene to all of his daughters. He can not pass it to his sons because a male receives his X chromosome from his mother. A mother with one copy of the gene has a 50% chance of passing it to her children of both sexes, but her daughters will just be carriers of the gene unless their father has it, too.

- wiki

pretty interesting DNA, genes and all. my sis did mention this to me once. i think cos after u get married, couples wld have to do medical check-ups together. maybe to check for aids or i don't know wad. and the doc told them bout the x-linked thingy. maybe that's what's part of what the check up is too. to see the chances of having a affected child. kinda scary actually.

what got me researching into these was becos of the recent news that one of the singaporean actor has Muscular dystrophy. which got me thinking whether that is the same disease as in the story, 'one litre of tears'. apparently its not. the other one is Spinocerebellar atrophy. but both has this hereditary thingy. which got me into the whole DNA thing.

yup. at 4am in the morning. pretty crazy i know. but hey, i learnt something new.
oh boy. life itself is just amazing.

tamiya | 1:08 AM
so this is what i've been doing on a sunday night.

before

after

woohoo. haha.
once i turn the switch on, it runs like crazy. there's no control or anything. which is pretty much what i need ain't it? for my project? actually i'm not too sure. i just like the process of fixing it up. let's hope i get to use it. cos i thought legos were too expensive even tho they are like oh so pretty.

let's see what other constructive thing i can do for the coming week... i think i'll try writing my CV so i can get my attachment.

alright. time to sleep. splitting headache. don't know why. nighty.

what about | 11:30 PM
a friend of mine has a friend that was diagnosed with cancer after coming back from a sports competition overseas.

it was the suddenness of it that scares us.
can u imagine being healthy and sporty and normal.. studying in school like any other 20 year old kid, and suddenly its like there's a big comma in your life.
your whole womb is taken out, you have to go through painful therapies and you have to stop school for awhile. suddenly you can't have babies anymore and you don't know what lies ahead.

i had a good cry just trying to put myself in her shoes. just too scary.

that probably made everyone around her appreciate life so much more right now.
what is panicking about school about?
what is whining about how hard life is about?


In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored

wah | 6:31 PM
its still amazing when i see the planes fly.
there must be people sacrificing their lives when the first plane flew.
and the distance that it can cover.. WAH.

sq's thai green curry chicken was my first meal. den i had chocolates. milk and ice-cream on the plane. the hostress had to specially run eslewhere to get me my milk cos i was craving for it. aha. milk never tasted so good. really. i have really learnt to appreciate everything i eat now. with every bite i bask in its taste. awwhh.. so good.

there are like leg massage machines situated every few hundred metres in the arrival hall. WAH.
the golf range was like still opened at 10plus. WAH.
shelters are build from the bus stop along the pavement outside my house. WAH.

singapore's pretty amazing with the amount of things in here. they just keep building and importing. flooded with stuff, food and people man.

den i just thought of the numerous things i can thank God for. the list goes on forever. even the bad stuff. becos everything eventually work out to become good.

another round of getting used to again. today i keyed in the aussie pin for my sgp bank card. den i exclaimed "eh. wrong!" den i smiled opps-ingly and the woman said it was ok. haha. so stupid.

and i think i got cheated! haha. i traded my nokia 6288 for $60. it was worth about $100 actually. i should have done my research first. but i did it after. too rash too rash. ahhhh. could have used that extra money to get more pro legos. aha. its okay. its okay. the phone was free anyway.

right. this reminds me i should stop whining and sulking at things i cannot change. do remind me when i happen to do it yah.

i should bathe. i feel so sticky.

goody | 12:40 AM
21 days came and went.
never understood the meaning until i've done it.
i feel the change and its good.
it was a good 21 days.
but it could have been better.
i think i wld continue it with something else from today.
maybe i shld restrict myself to 2 hours of internet per day. hmmmm.. sounds good. den i can make use of that time to read and do other more constructive stuff.. yeahh

now its time for some awesome mama food!
chicken, beef, fish, chocolate, chips, instant noodles, cereal, milk, bread, cookies, cheese.
God's creation is oh so wonderful.
i think i'm gona do some cooking back home too.
muahaha.

beef on 4 legs. haha. many of them on the way and back up north. what a way to describe cows.
now i'm so black and my face is like corrupted. even my legs has some funny itchy rashes. i think its the effect of the sun. so bad. so so bad. but it'll all go away soon.

holidays!
