music calming me now : Lovers, Secrets and Lies - Peter Cincotti

just back from a YUMMY dinner!! went to tung lok at paramount with family. 33.80+++ per person for the ala carte buffet which is not too ex and the food was really really good. oh then we got a box of mooncakes too! i never knew mooncakes were so expensive. one piece about 8plus? and it's so small and the ingredients are so... simple. my dad says it's like eating gold. haha. hmm.. speaking of gold. heard they have golden mooncakes now. eeeks. they are just getting weirder by the year.

i really really really wanna go watch the eagles in concert!!!! i love them! but the tix are waaaaaaaaaay expensive. do i love them enuf to fork out at least $99? and tt's just to see their backview. but then again, maybe they have nice butts? haha. anyways, doubt i'd find anyone who'd be interested in the eagles. anyone? no? shall ask my brother.

oh. another thing i wanna watch... sesame street at downtown east!! hahaha. ahem. anyone?

something really weird happened at mass today. i think they err... forgot to do the 2nd reading!?! after the psalm, everyone was still sitting down.. then the commentator said pls stand for gospel...!! and we did the acclaimation blah blah. i was like "???" hmmmm.

met gerald n sh for dinner. at Big O. NYDC's better. gerald started feeling old. lol. yeah.. happy 20th gerald. welcome to da club. suddenly talked abt bowling and how we don't go anymore cos er... we're only free on weekends now and we can't just hop on the bus after sch and go bowl. and weekends are so expensive. yah. so tt's why we don't go anymore. cos we're OLD. bah.

i miss my life.

yay

my fringe is finally long enuf to be clipped up! ewen says it looks so much better now.. and that the last time he saw me it was really horrible. hahaha. bad hair's gone! whoohoo! i finally look normal. in fact, i quite like my fringe now.

so we went to the beach today. as expected.. they were all late!! like one hour can! to think i almost cabbed down cos i was late. sheesh. too bad ben had to leave early. haven't seen or spoken to him in a long time. and eileen pang seh-ed me! bleah. so in the end it was just dary, ewen, gerald, jeannette and I. the weather was nice. sunny but not that hot. we ate, cycled, then left. so bo liao! so difficult for me to get there and we left so early. and dint get to blade cos someone had a blister. oh well, let's go beaching again soon!

went to the hospital after that. godma's ok i think. but i was so sad when i saw her. she was like just sitting there. hm. at least i didn't cry or wat. heh. i feel like working in a hospital. haha.. i dono why.

oh yah. saw alot of cute dogs at the beach! there was one white one which was like hopping/ bounding up n down. so CUTE!!! can't wait till dary gets his dog. hehheh. can't wait till I get a dog! haha.. and tt will not be anytime soon...

ok shall go. bye.

To Heaven I Go?

if what they say is true.. that one hour of work= one hour of prayer, then i think after getting thru this week, i'm going to heaven for sure. spent dono how many hrs doing work this week!! argh.. thank God it's over! can take a breather. Godma went for an op today... the whole week i've just been worried abt this. so sian. had 2 essays n 1 presentation to do somemore. well, thank God she's ok now.. i hope.

oh. think i pai seh-ed myself during mass. haha. did prayers of the faithful and couldn't really see the words on the screen clearly... bad angle plus bad eyesight! haha. so i kept stumbling over my words. hahaha... and some parts of the sentences had like gaps? don't think my eyesight's that bad.. there really were gaps.. i think. gosh.. think i read like some kid who's just learning to read. hahaha. oh well.. was quite funny.

went to town wif mel n weng after mass. shopped abit... went to starbucks for a drink. before we knew it, twas 11. in the mrt station mel got hit by a sudden wave of nostalgia.. haha. sigh. i miss those days. i really do. even town looks so different now. sigh.

k lah. shall stop rambling.. nite.

Interesting...

went to SVDP for mass today wif godfolks. after goin there so many times i only just realised how much i like that church. it has the nice churchy feel. haha.

after tt, we went into some chinese temple near bugis area. haha! go church den go temple. lol. no no, we're not changing religion or wat. hah. i was just curious cos i'd never been into a temple before and we happened to be there so just went in to look see look see. the place was really crowded and i couldn't stand the smell of all the burning jossticks n all. haha. ppl were kneeling in fronta the altar praying fervently. anyways.. i felt pretty weird being in there.. yet intrigued at the same time. felt like i was in some foreign land.. like a tourist. haha. i mean.. i've never seen sucha sight before. that whole street was so .. un-singapore! loadsa ppl selling flowers outside the temple n fortune tellers n shops selling chinese herbs n stuff. oh and ppl touching the statue of buddha all over. rubbin his nose. haha. i'm a lousy singaporean. don't even noe my own country other than orchard road.

oh and wanted to go into the hindu temple beside the chinese one.. but decided not to. haha. i thought it was quite funny that chinese prayed at the hindu temple too. temple hopping?? pray to every god.. kiasu. haha. first to chinese temple.. den to hindu temple.. next.. to novena! haha.. there really are ppl who do that..

hello ppl! just an announcement... everyone shd go check out Renee Olstead's music!! she has an amazing range! and her voice's quite soothing heh.. it's no wonder she sings jazzy stuff. go listen to A love that will last and check out her version of Summertime too. i like it. if u guys like norah jones, i think you'd like her too.

oh best part is, she's only FOURTEEN. hah yeap. take that ashlee simpson and all u other cheesy teeny boppers. this girl's waaaay better than all u crap.

How to Get Pink Ants

leave can of bandung on table for approximately an hour. wait for ants to come. look closely. the ants are pink. i assume the ants were black but turned pink from taking in the bandung, and that the ants were not really pink ants to begin with. ok u get my point. oh, by the way, they look really scary.

Help!

next week's gonna be one helluva busy week. got 2 freakin essays due and i just realised tt i haf a presentation as well!! sigh

did real badly for my film and hist essay. got a "tick minus - you're a Pete Best". bah. i dun wanna be a pete best aka the loser drummer who got kicked out of The Beatles!!! i wanna be a john lennon! hahaha... oh well.. at least pete best was good looking, whereas lennon looked like crap and not to mention, he's dead now.

i'm all prepared to get a C for this module. shall have to do well for other mods then... which is hardly possible cos they are even more difficult?! sigh. my CAP is goin down this sem... just when i managed to get it up a little. i think this settles it then.. not gonna do honours. which means i'm gonna do shared major. ladeedum...

life's a bitch.

And there was light......

Doggie Land!

went for dog show at the expo with dary n weng! there were SO many cute dogs! many golden retrievers and labs and huskies. plus this HUGE malamute which was so cute... in the big sense. many dogs dressed up as well. haha.. funny. best was this MALE husky (or was it malamute?) dressed as a FAIRY. had on his owners clothes. hilarious la! bet the poor dog was embarassed as hell. haha. ahhh... sigh. i want a goldie. they are so extremely lovable.

went for dinner at the airport. swensens.. got a tub of ice cream for dessert and we were like struggling to finish it. i'm surprised. haha. had fun talking.. or shd i say bitching? haha.. had a few laughs talkin abt guys and girls. also mused abt the demise of gentlemanly guys.. sigh. haha. twas fun.

Er.. No Thanks.

went to meet my folks in suntec after mass today. the moment i stepped in, this woman looked at me and i was like "oh-oh. she's gonna ask me something". true enuf, she approached me and started talking in chinese (yes, they recog the cheena in me)! i tot maybe she wanted directions or wat.. but i thnk she was saying sth like don't worry.. cant rem wat. den another woman nearby came n was like.. don't be scared blah blah.. in chinese. well obviously i was like "wat the hell?!" and i cldn't understand half of wat they were saying.. i kept huh-ing. well somehow i managed to get wat they wanted.. which is...

TO GO TO THEIR CHURCH!!

geeeeeeez. so of course i kept saying no.. wanted to walk away but the woman kept talking. so finally i just said, "i'm catholic" (in english. how do u say tt in chinese anyway??) in the hope that that wud make them let me go. haha.. i thnk the woman's face changed la.. look of disappointment maybe. she was like "oh." haha. you will not have me!! muahaha.

anyway.. i still cldn't get away! cos then ANOTHER woman came and just rambled on. so the THREE of them were like talking to me. asked me which church i go to n all. i said holy trinity and one woman nodded "ohhhh.." i seriously doubt she noes it. den one asked "so u go to church since young?" yah. "so now u don't go anymore?" i do. anyhow assume tt i don't! said stuff like now students stress blah blah come join us... along those lines lah. i was very civil thruout. haha. smiling n all. i even asked them back "so which church are u all from?" central christian church or sth... unheard of..

can u imagine.. they were staking out at the entrance of suntec! waiting for their targets.. students like me. on one hand, i admire their courage for being able to approach random strangers to evangelise like that. on the other.. i think.. it's not very effective?? i mean. three women old enuf to be my mother.. comin up to me like that.. talking abt sch n all.. asking me to join them oldies? if i were someone who didn't know christ, i think i'd be damn scared? and intimidated.. or more likely, PISSED! i wasnt' pissed... their hearts were in the right place... just er.. the approach was wrong?

in the end i told them i wasn't interested.. got my own church man.. hmm... wat an interesting encounter. later i realised should've asked them to come check out our catholic church instead. good chance to let em christians noe more abt us. hah. think that wud haf scared THEM away. yes.. that's wat i'd do.. if there's a next time.

It's Over!

our term in Candle that is. today was AGM so yeah now we have a new comm. was kinda weird for me... as in.. i almost wanted to be in comm again. was feeling uneasy abt not joining.. maybe even guilty since we were short of ppl. but i was afraid.. cos i remembered how tired of Candle i was. how i didn't wanna write anymore. and i rem how for the last few issues we were kinda running out of ideas. i didn't really feel like i could contribute anymore to Candle. if i look at my old blog posts, i'd find alot abt being happy to be ending my term in candle. haha. don't mind helping out though. so decided to offer my lousy service to help in layout. hahaaha.. me? doing layout? computer work? HAH. but i'm sian of editing.. so i'd rather try something new. no harm learning right? as long as i don't screw up our layout and become more of a hindrance than help.. hehheh.

everytime i go for AGMs i get the feeling that i shd join. like during arts agm.. ppl asked why i wasn't running for comm. and 'don't feel like it' doesn't really count for a good reason. and during TM as well.. when u see that they are really in need of comm members.. u can't help but feel.. uneasy n guilty?? like u shd be doing something... that maybe it's wat He wants u to do. but how can u be sure anyway? i just keep telling myself 'i don't wanna'. cos i'm scared of the commitment.. cos i'm scared that i'd wanna give up halfway.. scared tt i wldn't be gd enuf. i dono.. just lazy and gutless perhaps. haha.

we had a talk by anthony who was in the first candle comm! one of the founders.. he brgt up some interesting points. he said sth that particularly struck me.. sth abt serving where you're needed. ahhh i can't rem wat he said! damn.

anyway.. wats the point of this post? i dono. gnite.
