how privileged i am

When I was in need, I needed a friend
I was alone, I needed a hand
I was going down, but someone rescued me
My God cares too much to say, His mercies are new every day
I get down to pray and then help is on it's way

I walk by faith, And not by sight
If things go wrong, It'll be alright
'Cause someone greater is watching over me
My God cares too much to say, His mercies are new every day
I get down to pray and then help is on it's way

Now in faith I believe, I've got everything I need
I walk by faith and not by what I see
I've got friends in high places
I've got someone I can call
I've got someone watching over me

today i learnt that J-O-Y means Jesus first, Yourself last, Others before you. being happy and being joyful is two different things. being happy is affected by what happens around you, But being joyful is what is within you. I want to be able to find my joy in the Lord, i want to be able to find something comical, something new, something wonderful about God even in bad experiences and heartaches.

This is all my hope and peace, Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow, That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

believe.

a picture speaks a thousand words

our friendship was like this. at times unobvious, but has always been there. appreciate the every little bit that you were there. im thankful that deb is getting in wheelock too. i just hoping that we'll be in the same class. i bad adapting to changes. meehan not in the picture because she ponned.

last photo in NP. love each and every one to bits. i still don't feel graduation, but i feel separation.

But i'm grateful, that God placed me in this course, in this class. everyone has been a great form of encouragement in one way or another. He has blessed me abundantly with friendships, and i witness His grace time and time again through the projects and especially during attachment. These three years in ECH have really been tough years. many times i find myself breathless and on the verge of giving up, but God kept me through.

yups. and CNY has been pretty usually boring. hahas. same routine every year. visited both my grandmothers and sit at the house the entire day. and like every year, there'll be steamboat at my dad's side on CNY eve, and on CNY we'll head to my mom's side for homecooked meal. and i truly look forward to it every year=) simple dishes, but lots of love and sincerity.

this is love. =)

and this year's CNY's dressing! deon has been a sweetheart and bought me a dress for CNY. something we came across during one of the random days which i commented looks pretty interesting. ahhas i've always wanted to wear a cheongsum, and the flowery design reminded me a little of the chinese style. and he went back another day and got it for me=) hahas and we spent many occasions shopping for a pair of shoes. i have extremely tiny feet=.= and its super hard to find size 34. and our efforts paid off when we finally found this pair with a strap! =) thankyou=)

now you see where i get my nemo eyes genes from=)

haha and today, i finally got around to visit uncle goh at renci. and which i discoverd that POPEYES has new outlets! at ang mo kio jubilee and toa payoh entertainment centre. hahas and theres new outlets opening at novena and bugis=) so JULIE, you dont have to go all the way to changi anymore =)

and, i've gotten a job. my childcare called me up again so im heading back on monday. as far as i know, im taking the toddler class. no more being an assistant teacher. im a teacher now. but i thank God for the job, because if i have to work somewhere, i would really rather head back to my attachment centre. and i believe that God really blessed me with the job offer, so im taking it up. though im rather sad that i have to start working so soon.. but i wouldnt want to miss this blessing of God.

If He brings me to it, He will bring me through it.

i want to always remember

i want to always remember how it feels like sitting in the lecture theatre in the comfort of macy, julie, quek, jess, and deb around me. knowing that doti, nicole, hazels, janelle, liting,ana, qiuling, yanling and shelby are in the row in front and behind me. with leonice, priya, shikin, siti, nadiah, abidah somewhere near me.

i want to always remember how it feels like singing "i have a dream" during AYC, how we became closer as a class with a class hug, i want to always remember the chalet and the nights we spent just talking.

i want to always remember those bustrips with doti just talking, sleeping, complaining. i want to always remember the place at esplanade, where we sat talking, and the pyramid i tried climbing and quek laughing. i want to always remember the friends who were there when there were tears, and those who gave their listening ears.

i want to always remember these three years. yes, ECH may not have been the first choice for many of them, but to be in the same course, the same class, i believe it was not by chance. we have all helped each other to grow, built each other's confidence, gave each other precious memories. though we may be unhappy with each other at times during projects, ultimately these were the only friends who truly understand the stress of being in ECH, the unending projects, learning corners, lesson plans, and these were the friends who stood by all the way till the end.

my first experience of being in an all girls class,

i want to always remember being in this class, with these bunch of girls.

awesome pretties, awesome girls.

sigh.. im feeling graduation now.

graduate

I have unofficially graduated.

goodbye HMS.
goodbye ECH.

graduation came quite gradual with each submission of project, that it didnt really hit me when the last tutorial ended last week. and somehow, it still hasnt hit me yet. perhaps, friday?

we did a farewell song during philip's graduation party on monday. if we weren't ECH-ers, we could make an awesome choir

not the whole class was there that day. hope everyone will be there on friday's EOP thingy.

one last multi-shot please.
i'll miss this great bunch great lots.

zoo!

i went to the zoooo today!

i skipped lecture today to go visit the zoo with deon, gab and amanda. since gab is entering NS tmr and this is the last week for lecture, i finally decided to pon class today=) the last time that i went zoo was 8 years ago and it's rare to find people who will actually want to go to the zoo at my age=P haha though it was a little disappointing that there were very little animals, and i didnt get to see any owls=( but it was still an interesting trip i guess=) took lots of photos, but gonna post a few.

after visiting, i've decided that i want to have a penguine as a pet=) i've always been fascinated at how they can bob around in water and toddle around on penguine feet. they look so cute and gentle i think i'll have lots of fun playing with them.

I wouldn't mind a polar bear as a pet too=) its look extremely huggable and they looks pretty innocent=) all i need is to feed them fish everyday.
or, i could have a pony or horse! somehow, they give me the feeling that they're carefree and gentle creatures. sometimes i do wish that i could have a simple life, horse, field, farm. it would be nice being able to gallop on a horse through the green fields after a hectic day.


and i was so proud of ourselves for walking the whole place=) bt of course there's one place i'll never never never step into. MUAHAHAs. at least i went as close as the entrance okay! i'm terrified of snakes=( there's no way i will enter that place=)
but the most interesting parts of the trips are definitely the animal shows and feeding! hahas we got to feed the kangaroo=) but i didnt get to see any kangaroo with the pouch and the baby kangaroo.
feeding kangaroo is kinda fun i guess although i was pretty freaked out at first.

and of course, deon being deon and gabriel being gabriel, they just had to pose weird stuff


lol=) and me being me just has to post their unglams=D
