Little Red Flowers. Sunday, September 28, 2008 Little Red Flowers. Pluggin' into: I'm Yours by The Script Omg. I'm in love with The Script. Thanks wing!!! :) :) :) I'm so distracted. I've got test on Fri and Sat, but I'm so unfocused. After all, I'm blogging! HAHA. Sigh a sigh. Happy 21st birthday Meryl!!! :) Thanks for having us over - your home and mee siam and kueh pie tee rocks!! :D Today's homily was quite funny. Father talked about how we have to be more intentional, rather than work on routine. You know how in mass, the priest goes "the Lord be with you", and the congregation replies "and also with you"? He then told us a joke, about how one day, this priest was saying mass, during which the microphone broke, Priest: "There's something wrong with this mic." People: "And also with you!" HAHA :P I'm watching this art central show now. Little Red Flowers. I think it's about small children and kindergarten school in China. Man.. it does say something about education. My word. Thanks liv :) http://artscentral.mediacorptv.sg/WhatShowing/Sunday/index.htm "Qiang is a four-year-old little rebel, possessed of a pair of luminous eyes and a precociously indomitable will. His father deposits him at a well-appointed residential kindergarten in post-1949 Beijing, since his parents are often away. Life at the kindergarten appears rich and colourful, made up of a variety of cheerfully sunny rituals and games meant to train these children to be good members of society. But it's not so easy for Qiang to adapt to this kind of carefully organized, minutely scrutinized collective life. A fierce individualist in miniature, he tries but fails to conform to the model his teachers enforce. Yet he still craves the reward that the other students win: the little red flowers awarded each day as tokens for good behaviour." Argh. Readings are draining my energy. Noooooo... This was today's responsarial psalm. I thought it was quite thought-provoking. Psalm 25 (or 24?). Remember your mercy Lord. Teach Me Your Paths[1] Of David.25:1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord; 6 Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, Tissue jenga :P Friday, September 26, 2008 Tissue jenga :P Pluggin' into: Hurt Before by the Corrs I just came back from lunch with Mum. It was a cool morning, so we walked down, did some errands, had steamboat for lunch and took a bus back. We had an amusing time at Guardian - Mum wanted tissue, but only the blue packets. Since the tissue packets were stacked up, we 2 plus the guardian person were basically trying to get 6 packs out, Jenga style, rofl. The 3 of us were laughing the entire time la, lol. I felt like we were playing Uno stacko, rofl :P All in all, very simple.. and I loved it. It always feels good hanging out with Mum (: I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt that I was plucking a guitar and playing a really touching sweet song. I can't remember to who, nor the tune, but I remember feeling contentment. Very very strange. It is motivating and encouraging though - I do wanna learn how to play like that someday. After all.. music is beautiful :) Discoveries: I have hidden talents! :D Apparently, I have a knack for taking unglam photos, rofl!! I'm quite sure many can testify, kekez :P Also, I have discovered my creative flair, heh heh (: I was so proud, I took photos! Shall show them some other time ;) Re-discoveries: It's confirmed. I still suck at teaching *faints* Happy 21st Birthday Jojo! :) On that fateful day, an angel on earth was born ;) *hugsness!* I want my choc-chip scones & lava cake! Sunday, September 21, 2008 I want my choc-chip scones & lava cake! Plugging into: I'm Yours by Jason Mraz This is one addictive song la, seriously.. :P I haven't blogged for a while. I've been busy. A lot of schoolwork. I'm so behind my readings. It's recess week, but it's a pseudo-holiday. At this moment, I'm trying to finish a reading on meritocracy, which I started yesterday. Sigh. and to top it all off.. i'm broke. yes, again. damn a damn la, seriously. I've been eating ravenously these few days. It's terrible. I dun think it's stress.. prolly that time of the month again or something. Gah. So much for my exercise regime -_- I must revive it really soon. Most of all.. I crave my chocolate chip scone with strawberry cream cheese from Tea party :( It sucks to crave it and be poor at the same time. And I realise.. all these irritating touch-screen phones are popping like daisies. Man.. it makes it too easy to steal fingerprints, rofl! Oops.. i meant.. eh.. annoy people ;) *cheeky grinz* I want to try making a lava cake. Been looking at it for quite a few days, and I'm quite confident I can do it. It's my most favourite dessert in the whole wide world.. top it off with vanilla ice cream.. my gosh, it's taste heaven. Just need.. funds. Someone sponsor me! ;D I think I'll try to follow Friends on Starworld. It's Season 3 now, which is where I stopped (I borrowed season 1 and 2 from video-ezy a few months ago). Then again.. I don't even know if I have time for TV. but then again.. Friends is so much more appealing than meritocracy, hike ;) I met with quite a few friends since I last blogged. Going out, museums, coffee, scones & tea (i want more scones :P) venturing to 'new lands', catching last trains, failed wake-up calls, laughs.. loads of memories to add on and treasure. That makes Sarah a very happy girl (: Brudder, here you go (: "PIING!" Tuesday, September 09, 2008 "PIING!" Thanks to Hong Kong Milk Tea, I feel wide awake. As "PIIING! as can be, to be specific. It's energising and worrying. Especially since I've class from 10am onwards and I'll only be home by night. My oh my. Warning: This post is so gonna be random :) Despite a new month, I'm still having trouble to save. I think the HK milk tea that keeps me wide awake now, and the thick toast with jam and peanut butter which I left unfinished, are painful reminders of the spendthrift I am when it comes to food. Wastage too manz, GAH. One of my pet peeves is that I must have my plate empty and clean after I'm done with it. That's how I learnt to eat tomatoes - it was the only thing destroying that 'clean plate effect' whenever I ate Western meals, rofl. On the other hand.. I was glad that I came out to have supper with Vincent and Pamela. It was good catching up with Pam and hearing her holiday stories, as well as having discussion about a tinge of philo, school and church band with Vinc. It may sound real weird.. but somehow.. tonight, it feels that God's prompting. With regards to our church band, is to keep Him in mind in all that we do. and.. for me, to reach out to people. It's scary. I only hope I'm not interpreting wrongly and that it doesn't backfire. Faith. Also.. it made me reflect.. on how much I miss my friends. There are so many friends I want to catch up with, but my wallet tugs on my pocket reminding me of the nightmare of the previous month. August: The Month of Poverty. shudder. It's a delicate balance I must learn to master and accept. Friends, I miss you so!! *BIGGEST HUGS IN THE WORLD!* :) [ok, I prolly sound like I'm high on tea, but i'm not :P wait.. actually I am.. but I'm saying this cos I really do miss you all, not because of the caffeine. Ok I shall stop now :P] On the bright side, as a result of my poverty, I've been doing some exercising. I've made Monday Gym day, and I'm trying to run everyday whenever I can. A few days ago, Livia crashed my place for dinner, guitar hero and project discussion. She's really my socio buddy this term manz, lol! :D I watched Wall-E with my sister yesterday. the way she always tries to muffle my laughter never ceases to amuse me, rofl :P On Sat, I met up with Selina. 'twas great to just hang out with her, and laugh, and just engage in the most nonsensical things ever. we have to go back to paragon, HAHA :P Looking forward to the museum! Then I met jojo and dong for a short while. My darling escorts to the train station, rofl :P Thanks babes - Gan dong!! :D To you, my scribble endurer, my sweet masterrr and dear friend, whose messages always brings a smile to my face, lifts my spirits and warms my soul :) loves you lots dear! *HUGS* :) and don't worry.. genie's still saying little prayers for you, in addition to granting wishes ;) I love scones and badminton with my brudder :) Thanks hot stuff.. you really do make NUS a much happier place.. at least, for me, HAHA :P  I've got photos too ;) Remember.. "I love yoooo!!" :D P.S. Legion people!! WE MUST MEET UP SOON!!! :) P.P.S IJ BUDDIES!! Miss you loads!!!!! ;) An Ethnographic experience. Tuesday, September 02, 2008 An Ethnographic experience. I'm up this late after listening to audio cast lecture. Sometimes, those things are real effective manz. Anywayz, I'm still rather alive, so I thought I'll blog about Electrico, Baybeats@Esplanade.  Electrico. (L to R) Desmond, David, Amanda, William HL and I met up in Toa Payoh first, for some C&G (cheap & good) dinner, before proceeding to take a train down to city hall mrt and walking to esplanade. Initially there was a huge crowd. I thought we had to stand at the back, but a confident Hui Luan went, "No la! Sure can go in front! This sorta thing, must enter from the side. Follow me!" True enough, we made it halfway. Then.. we realised, it was this Filipino band called Faspitch playing. Thanks to my misinformation [still NOT my fault!], we were half an hour early *faints* Anyway, when it was intermission, HL decided that we should stand in front! She proclaimed it was her "ethnographic experience" and that she was going to be a true ethnographer! HA.  Lead vocals David Tan. I tried to get the others, but those of Amanda and Desmond were quite dark, and I couldn't even see the drummer William -_- The view was great. The music was fantastic (: What we didn't expect was the moshing. All of a sudden, young guys started throwing themselves at each other! and omg.. it got pretty rough manz. And yes.. we were victims, cos it turns out we were right next to that group that started it all! *faints* On the brighter side, we also saw bodysurfing close-up. That was rather rad :D  body-surfing!  Superman, HAHA. After the performance, we met up with Jojo and Selina for a drink at coffee bean. A very relaxing time of chilling and laughter, in the middle of the night in town, rofl :P  My "Levis Vintage", as Selina & Jojo call them, rofl :P Yes.. that was how bad the moshing was, lol.  The ethnocentric ethnographer who got more than what she bargained for :P Thanks for coming with me babe (: | |
