'Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You'
Psalm 56:3
a simple verse that speaks a whole lot, that means a whole lot.
Though the context is different, since according to my bible this psalm was written by king David when the philistines captured him in gath, but this declaration of faith, is truly an encouragement.
"whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You." =)

Times like this when u're going home after a long day in school and I meet unitians on my way home like how I met siulung (who was on his way to bet on soccer) just a moment ago makes my day=)
School is tough, but I'm still joyful. I think i'm adapting well now. Thanks mark for ur encouraging words=)
Oh and did I give credit to Julie? She's more reliable than google=)

Understanding
Despite all the brain damages tdy I am satisfied because i and we like FINALLY understand 'understanding'.
like isn't 'understanding' just understanding? Trust me, it's not. And we have two chapters in the book on 'understanding understanding' and the facets of understanding. I think I need to download dictionary into my iPhone like deb has, and place it beside me when I do the readings.
Yay to you UNDERSTANDING. I conquered you today *smiles* now I just need enduring understanding of understanding=)
thank you God for wisdom to understand and make sense.

I can't believe that east coast park was just one week ago.
It's Thursday, third day of my intensive 6weeks lectures and I'm already staying up past midnight to get the following day's task done. Haha I feel that wee bit unprepared eveyday going to school. All those readings I wonder if they're in my brain. Reflections, reflections, reflections.
Eeks this lack of confidence.
But of it all, I'm thankful.

Survive
It's the first day of school, first day of the week,
and I'm dead beat already.
Reading those texts are like words just drifting in and out of mind. I'm bad with accents. Spending half my focus trying to figure what the lecturer is saying and the other trying to stay focus and not drift away to lala land.
Break time was weird without Macy Julie Quek. It's so weird not having them around. I have problems adjusting to new things. But thank God for hazel ng and liting.
And yes, thank God for helpful hazelnutty and shikin=)
thank you HB for waiting tdy. For the movie=)

goodbye freedom
before i begin school, i thought i should come here for abit of update first. SO OKAY. i have been enjoying holidays pretty much. had my time of drama, books, pampered myself. met up with people i havent met since donkey years. spent a great day at east coast and watching soccer on the couch.
met up with fiona on tuesday, went to town before we went to bugis street. did my pedicure there which made my ugly feet look presentable for now. and at least i didnt get cheated at bugis manicure/pedicure this time round. and it was nice meeting nana again after sooo long! did a huge lot of catching up.. and especially since i dont have a facebook, there's so much i do miss out about my friends! but its alright=) it makes catching up altogether more fun!
met ben for supper on saturday and today, i coincidentally met siulung at the busstop, and though it was short, it was a good short catch up too. i love friends like these whom even after not meeting up for sooo long but im still able to chit-chat so much with=)
oh but before that on monday, i met up with a long lost awesome bunch of TRUCKS!=) everyone has either passed driving/amirah is going to take her test real soon, that it got me thinking about learning driving again! but, it's not that practical considering that i do not have a family car anyway. plus, it's always nicer to be driven around=D so anyway, haoning picked me and peien up at simei and she drove to downtown east. we went to 'Hei Sushi', as it is the only halal converyor belt sushi buffet in singapore!but for amirah's sake, it's worth the distance=) P2 ma'am came to join us as well=)
it's nice to see how everyone has grown, especially bingxi! he used to be that small boy that we used to bully alot back then, but now he's like so much more reliable and grown up=) haahs bingxi drove me after the gathering too, and it's so cool that everyone is driving=) and it's so nice knowing this bunch of them, 5 years ago we went Japan Iwate together, survived soo much together, i wish we can do that again!
and, yesterday had a rather impromtu trip to east coast with deon. wanted to do something fulfiling before school torture starts, and since it was one of our rare quality time days, we finally decided to head to ecp=) i prayed for God's favour and God was so wonderful! i caught one bus after another and reached slightly only more than an hour and it was sunshine all the way until we return our bikes=) God loves us so much=)
firstly, deon brought me to this place which he used to go when he was still in vjc (near it as well). we tried their fried rice which was good, hor fun which i didnt really like because it tasted burnt, broccoli with crab meat (i lovee broccoli!), and the delicious highly recommended by deon butter squid! butter squid was love!
though the butter squid looks unappetising, trust me, it's good=) we cleared everything
and then it was to ecp! didnt take much photos since we were busy cycling. we managed to cycle from ECP till the back of changi airport. it was a wonderful feeling watching the planes flying pass above. i really want to get on one soon. i love the smell of changi airport too! haha=) and i love slow paced moments like these. random pictures 
and now it's back to insanity. seniors warned us late nights, sleepless nights, 100 cover sheets.
quick ask me am i excited about school

vaio for school
im feeling random so my thoughts will hop around too!
today i found a new love! =) muahaha it's pink! you should have seen that look on the salesgirl face when deon told him that he wants the "hotpink one". i think she seriously thought he was gay so i very nicely told her that it's for me, before she gave a "OH.." smile=)
i'm actually still in shock spending my buck$ on a laptop/netbook. but i think it's a good deal for a vaio comp? and it came with this super chio baby pink mouse. im resuming my "pink days" again (the kids in my church calls me pinky).
sp yups. it was an impromtu trip to IT Fair. met deon for lunch at novena and finally we had a nice day to ourselves. after walking around for awhile, decided to head down to IT fair (thanks to julie who told me that it was on today). I can never survive such fairs without julie/deon. im seriously noob at such IT stuffs, and i practically left all the questionings and calculations to deon. called nicenice frederick who offered his nicenice help as well before i decided to get the vaio one instead of this futjisu one.
PLEASE DONT TELL ME FUTJISU IS BETTER. the previous time i AFTER i bought my acer then everyone came to tell me that acer is bad=( and yups. within three years i had it serviced five times. please please be nice to me pink vaio. im depending very much on you in wheelock. so yups, i guess it's not an implusive buy (self-comfort). i need a much lighter and smaller lappy to carry around so i'll feel happier doing my projects. and my acer warranty is way over already i dont wanna risk carrying it out and having bluescreen again. so yups this one is 10.1 inches, 1.4 kg=) happy me for now.
and today, i had my rare classic moment. me and deon were at udders and i was sampling some ice-cream. then then then i somehow dont-know-why unintentionally threw the used spoons into the namecard holder=.= it was so embarrassing when i realised. and evil deon just went "err.. isnt that HAHAH.."
another 6 days more before my impending doom. 8 textbooks 350 bucks. recieved the modules details and if calculations arent wrong, my first project will be due on 30june. so sad please. but on a sidenote im finally gonna meet up with bingxi, ning, pau, amirah & peien after like SO LONG. so exciting!
im starting to feel weird knowing that school no longer comprises macy quek and julie. i think i've grew dependent on julie in many ways, i'll miss quek's sense of humor, and my forever partner macy. im a cliquish person. i need cliques to feel secure. at least one person. so i thank thank thank God for at least giving me deborah=) school will make me all grouchy and busy again, so you've got to bear with me again HB.
did i mention, im dreading school? =(

random quotes.
"Do you know what hurts so very much?
It's love.
Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain.
There are two things we can do when this happens.
We can kill that love so that it stops hurting.
But then of course part of us dies, too.
Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel."
— Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place)
"I have faith that God will show you the answer.
But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do.
That's how it often is.
God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper,
and you have to listen very carefully to hear it.
But other times, in those rarest of moments,
the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Last Song)

第一時間
the other day i went to page one in search of a book. i came across the shelf full of nicholas sparks book and i was just looking through some covers and i saw one with this man. and i was randomly thinking to myself "what a weird guy to be used as a model for the back cover." THEN, i realised that nicholas sparks is a guy. a man. =.= i have always always always thought nicholas sparks was a girl. a woman. i mean, the stories are such heart-warming, sweet romance and tearful ones, i didnt expect it to come from a man author. okay. i should stop stereotyping. man can be surprisingly sweet, sensitive and emotional too. *inserts wide smile*
SO,finally met up with michy for dinner yesterday and it was a good few hours chatting, catching up and eating=) i really need moments like these with old friends. time is flying pass so fast, i feel that im letting things and friends fly by me too often. but the amazing thing is that how certain friends, despite not meeting for a long time, makes you talk and feel like the gap time hasnt been long ago. so im thinking about friends whom i've not meet for a real long time.. huix, gel, yel, baoxiang, dallas, siulung, aaron, wenjin, mark, nana, basically units. i miss chalet, night cycling (even in the rain)
TRUCKS(try and spot me HAHA)
friendships.. are so precious. with growing up, people grow apart. different priorities, different values. but i remember how i use to depend so much on my friends because they're like the cocoon that wraps around me. =) i miss my friends. the best words to describe my feelings now have to be F4's 第一時間 =) and i dont know how many unitians still read my blog, afterall, this blog was created by mark, to make sure that I (this lousy person who always disappear) do not lose contact with my friends.
so especially for gel, whose birthday is tmr, for huix, whose birthday celebration i missed, 你们这两个高级华文的同党，一定要读下面这一段歌词， 我把这首献给你们=)

累了不要见外,把我挖起来， 吐个痛快
看不惯朋友有难, 谁还冷冷的围观
我的手心为你握起来
烦了不要见外, 把我找出来, 陪你负担
续杯咖啡的温暖, 一直暖到你想开
你心情的坑洞让我来填满
昨天会被今天明天来取代, 动心的感情不会淘汰
关心常在
就算你我再热闹喧哗中走散, 友情会在第一时间赶来
让跳乱的心情平躺下来
重新的呼吸简单
深深的满满的
朋友只要你被孤单压的叫不出来, 我第一时间送出关怀
热热的眼神陪你看开
找回那片大自然
为着你抱紧你相信你
mgjs should meet up soon with zhang lao.

princess hour
i lead a boring life these day. but im enjoying them=) it's a real treat being able to have a break like this, that im really dreading school more and more. saw my class list already, THANK GOD I HAVE DEB IN MY CLASS. yes yes at least someone from my clique im so so glad. trust me, i can be really anit-social. and textbooks are just oh-so expensive again=.=
but school aside! in a week, i've covered three dramas! so proud of myself *pats* the thing about watching such dramas is that sometimes, they remind me of things i have forgotten. and they bring me through a roller coaster ride of frustration, joy and tears. and i just finished goong=)

it's the kind of drama you can watch repeatedly and not get bored of it. and i am just so crushing on joo ji hoon who is prince shin (2nd frm left). maybe i like the silent serious kinda of guy. HAHA or maybe not. HMM=) or maybe rather i like that character in the story and i think he portrayed it really well. but but being attached doesnt mean that i cant have tiny crushes on my drama men right=))) but i conclude that i still like jap drama better because the episodes are shorter and i can finish within a day. the 24 epd goong is like torturous.. watching till 3am and bearing with the suspense. baaa
so, satisfied me with the happy ending shall embark on searching for a new drama to watch tmr. =D
"if there was no me… would it really be boring? "
"it'll be empty."
"why are you afraid of being bored again?"
"because i can feel happiness when i'm with you"
"it'll be empty."
"why are you afraid of being bored again?"
"because i can feel happiness when i'm with you"

end of work.
oh yay~ oh yay~
i cant believe it's june already=X time's passing so fast. baaa
anyway, yesterday was the last day at work, it felt kinda weird saying goodbye. sadly, i didnt have my full class of toddlers yesterday. so i took photos with just those that were present. i wish i can post up the photos of these adorable ones, but for privacy sake, i cant=(
and as a form of respect for the small ones, i just told them that "from tmr onwards, teacher eileen will be coming back to teach you. Ms neo will be going back to school to study, just like you. so because today is ms neo's last day, i have something for you." then suddenly a boy started crying (the one who told me he loves me) ohoh. i think i broke his heart=X felt so bad. another few looked all teary, but i was actually extrememly surprised because i didnt think that three years old would know what i meant. BUT THEN being kids, the moment i took out the goodie bags,*BLINK* eyes lit up immediately. LOL really.
it was a great experience teaching at GP, my toddler class. im a very affectionate person so i enjoy giving my kids hugs and carrying them around when i have to. i enjoy tickling them, making them laugh and smile and i adore the way they always make me smile. but toddlers being toddlers, they'll forget me pretty fast. but at least i know i've made a good part in them.and i truly enjoyed working with the people there=) my chinese teacher and i really has good chemistry, the teachers are really helpful and all=) and i had a great mentor and principal=) God has really blessed me.
so as of today, i have 17 rottish day at home. but im not complaining, im enjoying a well-deserved break. just that OH how i wish i could travel overseas.
