finalllyyyy~ *phew*

and its not over yet...

but all my project are turned in~! its been totally utterly crazy u have no idea.=(
almost a straight week of meetings that last about 12 hours and can go until 2/3 am in the engineering library.. gosh i've never been so stretched before.. and i'm amazed i'm still in tact and alive.. its God's miracle really.. Hannah was right, its only when u leap in faith, that ur faith will grow! andddd He will never give us anything we can't handle.. He knows us inside out~!

Nevertheless, there's still more to come.. 3 more finals.. then its off to hawaii to meet mommie and daddie and jie and kale and MEREDITH~!!! *beams* and the -new- upcoming addition to the family. peanut#2=) yay~

congratulations once again~! baby clothes galore... here i come once again=)

my world is currently enchantified~! i HAD to go do something that doesn't involve engineering, math, and brains. and i'm absolutely glad i did..
yay.. the movie has kinda rekindled some of that spark i lost. some may scorn at that but i dun care. life is much sweeter when i view things that way...

in loooveee with the songs.. particularly this one...

You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close togehter

And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far
We are
So close...

Oh, how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
Though we know we are
So close
So close, and still
So far...


thank you.. so very much~


enjoyyyy

she can say a-da-a-da and babble and she can walk on her own and she sways to music and likes the piano and likes to dance and she can remove the battery cover of the remote control (which isn't tt good, but she's smart enough to do that! with her little index finger =P ) and we celebrated her first bday here last last saturday.. =) her actual first bday.. and she had duckie bday cake that cost a bomb. and i made her a ferris wheel tt is falling apart but i'll haf to fix *sad* no probs i promise a lifetime guarantee anyways. haha

one more month and then its back to aa again..

ps. hi sha~! i updated! haha

more than i could ask for~

hello~!
haven't ben blogging for a long while since i've been interning and have no energy to type anything by the time i get back, and we took off on a family holiday to perth just e week before last for a week or so...

but i just wanted to say a big thank you to all who made my 21st on of the most memorable days of my life~! =) *beams*
it was more than i could ask for, far more beautiful than i ever planned for or imagined.. it was meant to be something simple, but turned out all the more beautiful somehow. =) the little blessings that fell into place... *thankful*

the decorations were lovely, thanx to anna and hwying for coming over and folding roses and sitcking then to lights, and al and jem for coming over the nite before to help put them up and settle the lighting effects and visualise the deco in the function room...

most of all to daddie and mommie for putting the whole thing together, for suggesting the party when i didnt really think bout it, booking the room moving tables, getting e cake and food, the lovely wine from daddie and the wine glasses (amazingly everyobe could have their own glasses~! didn't noe we had that many wine glasses.. =P)

the food and cake were delicious, the cake's frosting and wording turned out so simple and sweet and it literally mealted in my mouth..
and the surprise mommie and jie planned to have kenneth over to singa nd play guitar! thank u soo soo much it topped the whole thing of so nicely and it was so beautiful to listen to! =)

i guess there;s much more to say and i'm not v good wih putting everything into words.. just so thankul to everyone, those who came down, those who messaged me, the wonderful presents and cards and notes..

it was so wonderful to see all of u..
too bad i lost a lot of my old frens' numbers and didn't manage to invite everyone i wanted to... but they're def not forgotten..
every single one has been a part of my life and all these people haf given me the experiences and memories that make me who i am, all these past 21 years~

okies, enough rambling.. i told u i'm not too good with words.. i shall let pictures do the talking~! =)
many are stil in other cameras~ (do send them to me~! *excited*)

meanwhile here's a little glimpse...
not in chronoligical order, and so many more, but i'll try to put up later..
*sleepy*

interning~

bleah i wrote a long post about starting my internship and for no reason my explorer screen shut itself down without saving my draft. *sighs*

too lazy to write the whole thing again..

basically.. i started interning 3 days ago.. learning lots lots about aircrafts..and and seeing them right downstairs.=P

and i met up with hwying anna and yl today~

internship starting on monday.. and i guess i'm pretty excited.. *jump jump*
not so excited about the waking up in the wee hours of the morning ( i'll be working from 8 to 5.30) and about the looooong journey to work (i finallt moved to the west and now i'll be working in e east *scrunch face*) oh wells~! =P

see the transition in skin color? haha
these pics are totally not giving enough credit to the trip~ =P

*yawns*

*yawns and rubs eyes*

i'm tired..
i feel like i've been studying and think i've covered almost all the things i need to on the two exams.. but i can't help but worry that i might have missed even one thing that i should have covered but i didn't... all it takes is that -one- thing to come out in the exam... =S and i have one more day to figure out and cover those things.. *Worried*

i think i'm worrying myself too much.
*bleah*

got a list of admin stuff to settle after exams before i go off to florida and eventually back home.. including going to sos, settling insurance, settling phone plan suspension, ...

happy thing that happened today.. got a new bear-bear~! =) i think i need a better name than bear-bear, cos i have another baby bear that's called bear-bear. hms. randomness.
ok ignore the last paragraph. heh.

can't believe i have one mroe year of college only.. and already half (possibly 2/3rd) of my overseas stint is over.. still remember the day i left and how each time i do i feel as if i'm never coming back...
life just flies by faster and faster.

muggingg~

been studying heat transfer and heat transfer alone the past day or two.. and i think its time to move onto controls.. hms.. got both exams on monday.. and since i've finishde up my cheat sheet for the entire heat transfer and i just have to look hru a few more problems and reinforce my concepts, i better start on my controls, which i haven't been studying at all...

sighs. why am i putting in so muhc effort into heat transfer when i need a 100% on my last paper in order to get a borderline 90% grade? bleah.

oh wells, do my best and leave the rest to God i guess.. feel like i've been drifting away tho.. seems like the studying itself is taking over.. =(

need to remind myself grades aren't everything and that there's so much more to life.

go blue~! (mini style)

soooo cutttteeeee~!!!!!

haha couldn't resist stealing these from my jiejie's blog..
yay she can finally wear tt nice outfit~! =)
*beams*
