huloo!
i only stopped blogging for a few days and it feels like i've abandoned squatsquat for ages!
oh no!
haha. anyways... i've been out for family outings! hehe
guess what!! i finally went rollerblading! for the first time in my life!
ahahah its really quite similar to iceskating. but i think its more scary..
cuz its like ice skating on bumpy ice since the ground's covered in leaves, twigs, stones and what-have-yous.
and the nights.... hehehe. I HAVE BEEN GOONG-ing.gong-ing. princess hour-ing.
hahha
the show's so cute! and i think lu(imagine 2 dots on top of the letter u) IS SO CUTE!
he has a baby face. ahaa *drools* so cute so cute!
ok i shall talk bout today.
WELCOME P6s to SF!!!!!
i know u guys may be sad to leave the er tong bu, but be open enough to accept us so u will enjoy urselves more ok?? =))
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION: talk to sec ones and bond with them. =D
ahhahaha guess what... I CANT WAIT FOR NXT YR'S SF CAMP!! HEEHEEHEE!
k.now.. what else. oh yeah. time really flies.. it seemed just like ytd when i was a tiny little girl in pink flowery dresses who needs to be carried everywhere (i was being lazy)... but now im 16! ok 16plus. hahah SO FAST! and many of my cousins are at that age where the aunts and parents start reminding them that they dont have much time.. they need to get married they need to produce a baby... hahah. and it feels just like ytd when we were sitting in a circle making friendship bands and flicking coins.
and now, its our turn to join 1724. i only just got to know the SF ppl... i feel a bit.. yi yi bu she u know? but on the other hand, im lookin forward to 1724 where we reunite with the "former SF".. when we were just sec ones and SF was still small and growing.
i like both i guess. the old sf and the new sf. like how i like life in singapore as much as life in perth.
back to today... we went to j8 to visit qinyi after church!
wenzhen daryl augustine and me.
mingfeng laoshi drove us there (thank you thank you)
then we went to scare qinyi. hehhee. she look like she really very scared.
then i saw that guy that she had to stare at for the past 3 days.
hmm.. ok la. not too torturous. actually not bad. hahaha.
to show our support for our dear friend, we made some purchases...
wenzhen bought a bottle of prawn rolls, i bought a pack of tomyumyummy seaweed, daryl bought a piece of bak kwa. haha so funny. one piece 2.70 leh.
what does that tell u?
next time must buy bak kwa from bee cheng hiang in j8 b1, one box. not one piece understand?
and take care of that cute little girl with the name tag that says "trainee" instead of "qinyi" who's givin out sample. OKOK??!
OH MY GOODNESS. i just remembered... ITS NEW YEAR'S EVE TODAY!
i told you time flies! its freaky...
i was talking to prissyfu on the phone just now to tell her im not goin to her house countdown.
then when we were goin to hang up she said "see you nxt yr"
i was like..HUH? WHY SO LONG! ahahhaha after that i got the joke.. and i laughed.
nxt yr is just tomorrow! hahaha

let me start writing down my new yr resolutions...
1. stop judging people

SF camp 2006
18-21st dec was my long awaited SF camp!
seriously, i dont understand why some of them had to be forced to go by their parents!
i'd rather go for camp than go overseas for holidays! haha
maybe cuz i havent seen SF for ages and thought i could use that as bonding time.
i did bond with my friends, but what im more glad about is that i bonded with the younger sec ppl =) very very happy to get to know them better! and they are a big part of the reason i enjoyed my time at camp too!
day1

we reported to church, played icebreakers, had lunch, collected our camp tee, had briefing, HOPPED onto the bus to the ulu ulu campsite in OLD choa chu kang.

MY GROUP: HUMANS: leader titus.asst leader dorcas.daryl.xuanxin.deborah.lydia.justin.me!

my goodness i tell u the house was like heaven. ahha. CHANDELIERS! i forgot to take photo of that but yeah i was expecting some old camping-y sort of dirty house.

played double whacko while the comm members helped to clean up and set up.. those ppl have such weird reactions its super hilarious. i was laughiing like mad..then we got to move our stuff into the rooms. nice nice rooms =) then daryl, xuanxin and i went to practise for worship.

after dinner we had worship. i tell you, i almost fainted. good thing dorcas was there to help me, if not i really wud hav fainted from stage fright without even having to stand on a stage. haha lets just say my talent lies in the other fields. anything but leading worship. hehe.

sermon was on TEAM SPIRIT. VIPCPU. VisionImmersionPassionCommitmentParticipationUareimportant.

eh qinyi, a little gift frm me to you: xuanxin thinks commitment is the most impt. (if u wanna know. =p)

that night, we were still high and lively and we were told to go to sleep at i think 9 or 10+ while the comm had meeting. everyone in my room was in the comm except for beibei and i. all the hps were confiscated except for those of the comm members.TORTURE! anyway, beibei n i were the first to go to bed and the last to fall asleep. at like 2 plus. and we sang the night away. haha.

ok its getting abit boring so i'll just mention some activities.

brekkie competition, water games, movie, fear factor, baimiaobung, H2O, steamboat, take the lead, cemetry walk, appreciation activity.

silly and memorable stuff... qinyi the "molested"(by accident), qinqin the bride wannabe, qinyi the xuanxin fan, lydia shimin deborah the childcare helpers,zhi xi the superking, beibei the bellbell and my singsong friend, dotdot chairman the christmas teeth girl, zhijing the boyboy who thinks my name is goonie, zefeng the small bully, yihan is also the childcare helper, daryl the accidental molester, xuanxin the "qinyi's idol"

ze feng my camera hogger hogged my cam the whole of the last night and took lotsa pics of daryl, augustine, jia le and bla... so funny la. and he took the video of qinqin planning her wedding in four yrs time... I ENJOYED CAMP A LOT!

suntan- i wanna get a nice tan so i can wear a lime green gown for my yr 12 ball
heehee yeah im thinking far.

anyway i was just thinking...
many people can say oh im academically inclined or im musically inclined or wadeva..
i cant seem to find my inclination! and THAT IS WHY im rather undecided about my courses for uni. its only the yr after nxt but its still coming and it'll come faster than i expect it to..
remember how i used to complain that im not gonna be a teacher?
im thinking that its not all that bad now. haha like a kindie teacher or pri school teacher..
kids are so adorable!
ok what i think i might not mind doing as jobs..
tour guide
psychologist
teacher?hhee
some music stuff maybe
photographer

ok im on the phone with my sis now.
i'll update tmr =)
nites!

today is officially the last school day of year 11!
yipee!
now... exams.. yr 11 week, HOLIDAYS!
muahaha.
yay.
looking back at this year,
i think i've changed quite a lot...
i think i have become more mature (although i've always been =p)
i have become more independent
i've become more musical (believe it or not)
and i've become taller =D (nah. i didnt grow upwards actually.)
but i also regret when i think of things i could have done but didnt.
i could have enjoyed and cherished the first few weeks instead of complaining.
i could have been outspoken instead of being so silent
i could have spoken up for ppl being gossiped about
i could have gone to talk to the new and lonely people
i could have done so much more but its too late to be upset now.
i'll start doing them now =D

exams exams. its quite quick actually. didn expect it to come so quickly.
im gonna keep my nose stuck in textbooks, assignments, past year papers and all sorts of things that make u smart.

at night, i'll sleep with some exam guides on my face to let diffusion take place.

haha that reminds me of silly yurica. hahaha
we were doing some silly IPW project. or wassit studying for exams..
and she just plopped a book onto her face and lay on the ground
"i'll let the information diffuse into my brain!"
sigh. the good old days.
not that its bad now, but i cant say its the better new days.
you just cant compare it that way.

every moment in life spent is just so precious =)

guess what!! i had like 4 band practices and 1 choir practice in this week!
in 5 days... gosh that sounds crazy...
monday after school -cantate (choir)
tuesday night- band 1
wednesday morning- assembly band
thurs morning- jazz band
fri morning assembly band (we ended up not doin anything. BUT I STILL WOKE UP EARLY!)
speaking of which.. heh. i was going to be late and i had a million things on my to-do-list..
1. dorm slip
2. pack bag
3. empty bin
4. tidy up the room
5. wake kristi up
6. brush teeth
7. brekkie
8. bring bag to locker
9. get drum sticks outta the locker

so i RAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN like some marathon runner to the locker to get stuff,
SPRINTED all the way to the Performing Arts Centre. it is SO far away esp when u are in a hurry and you are late...
and i reached there panting like some weird dog, got the drum kit up to set up for band practice.
then when i wheeled the kit into the room, mr moore was like 'forget it. we dont need it.'
*FAINTED* haha i gave a weak grin and a faint surprised silly sound and wheeled the thing back. and all the running made my brekkie in my tummy jump here and there and gave me a tummyache.
AND I POO-ED BEFORE BREAKFAST! so i like poo-ed twice in the morning...
and once at night. hahaha what a good digestive system....

OKAY! TIME TO STUDY!!!!
hey the Os ppl! you're finishing soon!!! how exciting!!
and those having prom/grad night wadeva u call them... HAVE FUN!!
IM EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!! take photos! lots of them!

sometimes i can be such a hypocrite.
to my friends, i can give them all the patience in the world.
at home, im that annoying spoilt brat who thinks the world revolves around her.
I FOUND MY CAMERA!
details not that important. haha
exams are coming! peee-eew! x(

13th nov monday- music practical
15th nov wednesday- physical science
17th nov friday- english
21st nov tuesday- music
22nd nov wednesday- math
24th nov friday- media

its a pretty good timetable. but my studying timetable has gone haywire!
i've been busy with assignments that i cant get started with revision!
WHAT AM I DOING HERE!?
relaxing time. haha i need to take time off from slacking u noe.
nah. this is the post of the week. precious kay!

"Do unto others what you want them to do unto you."
i used to think this meant do good to others, so you can expect them to do good to you.
but i was thinking about it one day... what if they dont do it in return? then i realised it meant to put yourself in their shoes.
"if i were her, would i want that done to me?" instead of "if i want her to do that to me, i should do that to her first."

discipleship with kristi and glennabanana this week made me think of my life journey.
how obvious that God has been planning every single thing, never forsaking me.
moulding me, exposing me to new experiences and sending beautiful people into my life.
im so thankful for everything. how blessed x)

went to KENNY ARONOFF's drum clinic.
he's on his tour around the world and he went to singapore for one of them too! how cool.
anyway my drum teacher found out that their using our school's beautiful fantastic performing arts centre. "so you can just say that he's coming to your 'house'!" (because i live in the school boarding house)
haha apparently he is one of the world's greatest drummer!
haha HOW COOL IS THAT!
http://www.kennyaronoff.com/
he plays for lots of famous people but i only recognised one song...
MY HAPPY ENDING by avril lavigne. haha
anyway he was so cool!
and i was going deaf by the time we left.

BAND! rmbr how i told u i didnt really like band?
its getting better now (phew)
but only because i brought a pencil to the practise to write out alphabets above the notes.
i learnt to differentiate glocks,xylophones, marimbas, vibraphones.
do u know that xylophones are actually wooden??
well i always thought they were metallic until a few weeks ago. haha
oh and cus i joined HALE ST MARYS BAND 1,
mr harrison asked me to join ST MARYS BIG BAND (its a jazz band and its not big.at all.)
and cus i joined big band, mr moore asked me to join ASSEMBLY BAND!
and its not cus they heard me play. well if they did hear me play they may think twice abt getting me to play for them.
they are incredibly short of percussionists in school after the yr 12s have graduated.
so now they resort to taking in beginners. hehe.
well at least its worth the try. the most they can do to me is sack me. hehe

tonight, im going to a richard clayderman concert.
some fundraising thing by the church.

oh and to all those doin their Os,
KAMPATEII!!! JIA YOU JIAYOU!
ALL THE BEST!
I'LL BE PRAYING! i have been. =D

I LOST MY CAMERA!

"oh.. then now u cant take pictures of your beautiful feet anymore!" val
YES I KNOW! HOW DEPRESSING! =(
oh wells. its not good to be attached to materialistic things. so..
=) YAY I LOST MY CAMERA. -.-

this week is the yr12's last week! =/
im sure gonna miss them...
some of them. a few of them. hahah i dont know many of them.
imagine next year when its my turn...
gosh.. i still feel like a newbie.
im like the most silent person on earth when im in school.
and im gonna be a leaver nxt yr.... YAY?
heh. i think kristi might be blogging bout today so u can go read hers for what happened today.
hers is more exciting cuz i was having lessons while she was happily dancing in her pjs and bananas in pj frens.
BUT I'VE GOT NO PICS CUZ I LOST MY CAM. so sorry...

anyway... have u ever felt lonely? like u were not fitting in and u were never meant to?
or have u always been surrounded by many friends? always busy talking and laughing, never noticing the lonely ppl ard, cus u've been too comfy and too caught up with your own world?
i've had a taste of both worlds. now it makes me feel guilty.
i've been too busy making myself happy to stop and think for others.
i've been too selfish to spare some of my time to those who need friends.
i've been too judgemental, letting gossips get to me, affecting my impression of ppl.
i've been too insensitive, ignorant to a crying soul.
i've been too proud, thinking that the world revolves around me.

i've got to stop being selfish, judgemental, insensitive, ignorant, proud and attention seeking.
i've got nothing to boast about.

i want to bring joy to those sorrowful souls
i want to be a friend to the friendless
i want to be tolerant and love each and every person for who they are
i want to make people's days
i want to bring smiles to faces
i want to add colour to people's lives.

i dont want them to feel lonely and left out. i want them to be loved and feel loved.
because i know how it feels to be alone too.

when u feel like a stranger. when u feel invisible, unwanted, unwelcomed.
when u know u can talk to them but u are too tired to try, cuz they'll just think their too cool for you. actually u know they're not THAT cool. they just seem cool because they talk loud, they laugh loud, they think they're cool being loud. and they think they're so cool to talk behind ppl's back. that...cool? nah. not cool. who's cool? i think those that smile at you even if they dont know you, they talk to you and make u feel welcome, they love you for who you are, they dont judge you, and they do the same to everybody. they are the cool ones from my point of view =)
not the clothes, not the shoes, not the make up, not the hair, not the accessories, but the heart that glows and overflows with love for everyone.
<3>

hello hello squattie!
since school started, my life's been boring.
its so painful to have to look at books and assignments its killing me.
haha
i got thru band audition! YAY!
haha yay my foot la yay.
my first band rehearsal was such a nightmare.
gosh. i almost fainted. percussion. i was so lost and i didnt know what to do!
trust me choir is so so so much easier. no one hears u when u sing wrongly
but in percussion, actually in band.. esp when its ur first day...
every single wrong note can be heard so clearly!
haha
but it will get better!
i still dont know whats the diff between xylophone and marimba and glocks and vibraphone but it will get better! haha
(yeah i know... why so many of the same type of instruments???!)

for those havin Os,
all the best! you can do it! it'll be the hols after that so yay! =D
i'll pray for u guys! x))

i saw a purple tree outside church today. so pretty!
its a normal coloured tree with some leaves and many purple flowers. haha.
beeeeooooooteeeful. xD
love!

saturday sunday monday..MONDAY!!!
NOOOOO!!! *faints*
its back to school time...
time to hypnotise myself into the mood for school..
a new beginning! x)
summer dresses out.
the silly light low quality but unbelievably expensive flowy thing that flies in every tiny breath of wind!
its that day i dread.. gah..
but that also means im one step closer to december!
singapore! vivocity! hehehe. of course my loved ones too x)
but now, let me pull up my socks, stick up my chin, breathe in the fresh air and..
embrace the new term!
its gonna pass quick but its gonna be good =)
nothing can crush me down with God by my side!
I WILL SURVIVE! oooooooooooohhhhhhhhh... I WILL SURVIVE!
and that also means im gonna blog a million times less. so miss me okay!
uhuh.. that wasnt a question.. ;)

ozzie ozzie ozzie...

everytime i look back and think about how far i've come,
i really thank God for making this wonderful choice.
sending me to perth. =)
where i take a leap to independence.
but i wasnt thrown to the deep end like others.
my dad's here. which is good in a way..
im so much luckier than the other boarders.
i have someone to drive me around,
someone to bring me to places with nice food
someone to bring me to ballet lessons and bible studies.
someone to bring me out on weekends, where i can taste some real authentic asian food.
someone to teach me driving
and of course many more.. too much to list down.
coming to Perth has given me many new challenges and experiences.
like entering a world of animosity; you are an alien in this strange land.
but God has given me courage to step out of my little bubble,
to mingle with new people, forming new friendships..
at the beginning, it felt so weird mixing around with the uni people seriously speaking..
all my life, i've been spending all my time around ppl my age..
my schoolmates, balletmates, churchmates...
but putting me in this new environment has taught me that...
THOSE UNI STUDENTS ARE STILL VERY CHILDISH
hahaha. ok not very childish. young at heart ok? heehee
and the Ozzies... well what can i say..
mozzies do bite but ozzies dont.
in general the ozzies are more...sociable.
they dont get too caught up with their own lives..
they smile they wave and ask u how you doing.
placing me, and asian, here in perth,
means that im a minority in school.
i've learnt many things from it too...
i've learnt to feel how the newbies must feel.. apprehensive? nervous? frightened?
i've learnt to feel how the lonely ones must feel.. unnaccepted? unloved? different?
i've learnt to feel how it feels to be different.. being an asian in a western world..
i've learnt to feel how it is being away from home..
now when i think about my life in cedar back home,
i have been pretty selfish, too comfy and too caught up with my own life to stop and think for others.
' are the china PRC scholars settling alright? do they enjoy school? do they need help with anything?' ' should i have recess with that girl sitting alone over there?' 'maybe i should mix around more with the malays and indians as well...'
if i ever go back to sec school or jc in singapore now, these thoughts may probably come to me. just because i've been in their situation.
if i've never been put here, will i ever spare a thought for how they feel?
will i even know that people out there need more attention and love?
coming here also allowed me to discover my interests and brush up on skills.
like... actually, cooking is fun!
i never really enjoyed home ec. maybe it was the fierce teacher.. maybe it was too theoratical.
but i've been cooking almost everyday this holiday..
i will make a very fine wife i tell you. HEHE
i also like photography and music!
where did that i-hate-going-for-piano-lessons-and-music-lessons-jeannie go?
i dunno.. haha. i still hate piano lessons.
i took up piano lessons for my own enjoyment, in the end it killed my interests bcuz it seemed like im learning so i can pass piano exams.. NO THANKS.
anyway, coming here opened doors for me to perform, not only as a group, but individually as well.
just standing in front of many many eyes already freaks me out.
but God gave me chances to accompany aliya's singing by playing the piano with my half-way-there skills, to sing in large audiences with my barely-audible-silent-whispers
what is there to boast about those 'skills'? nothing at all. embarrassing moments.
they cant even be called skills really. hobby maybe. but im glad im not good.
im thankful for my half-way-there skills.. for if they were perfect and all,
what would i be? bigheaded, complacent, thinking i am the best...forgetting about God?
so im glad that while im still immature in spirit, God has given me plenty and plenty of room for improvement, that i may remain humbled and know that He is the ultimate in charge.

i remember the first few weeks i was here, i kept telling myself..
'God has a reason for placing you here. You may not know it yet, but u will know it some time.'
He has placed me here to mould me and refine me in all kinds of ways, so that from that worthless looking piece of carbon, i'll become more and more like Him, that shiny precious gem. =D

fishy bookmark from OCF just now. it says

' Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish. JOHN 6:9'

remember this: although what you have to offer may seem small, in the hands of the almighty God, it becomes big. like the boy's five small barley loaves and two small fish, in Christ's hands, fed thousands of people till they were full, and 12 baskets of leftovers mind you!

AMAZING. simply amazing x)

i love OCF. i love the people in OCF. it's like home... listening to singlish gives me a sense of homeliness. i wonder what OCF would be like when im in uni and all the old people have graduated and gone back home.. =( i'll be the old one then. x(( that means i've got to cherish the time when im young. HEHEHE. bully the old people more! haha no la. i never bully you guys rite...*bats eyelids and tries to look innocent*

JAMES 2:1-7

1My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?

<------for those who have watched "it started with a kiss/ e zuo ju zhi wen" , does this remind you of WAN ZI waving to jiang zhishu desperately? HAHA (but thats vicky)

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

REJOICE IN THE LORD! OLEH OLEH

hello squattie!
just came back from OCF.
learnt lotsa things today..
topic: holiness
holiness is easily related to fear
cus of God's holiness, we fear His wrath esp when we feel unholy
when we sin, do things against God's will, we fear His punishment.
so we do things out of fear.
but dont forget, our God is also a God of love
the CROSS is where God's love and holiness meet.
because God is holy, we are all sinners and our penalty is death.
but for God so loved the world, He sent His one and only son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross ,
in order that we be saved and receive eternal life.
but if God loves His son, why did He let him die?
that is..HOLY LOVE
notice the focus is on love instead of holiness?
God wants the relationship to be of love, not fear.
i hope i got this whole thing rite..
hehe
and i also learnt that LOVE knows no fears.
(can someone please tell me which bible verse is that??)
i ought to have written it down... but i thought i have a wonderful memory
and it didnt even last for like 2 hrs! gosh...
anyway i'll find out soon

i also learnt that we need to reach out to include ppl that are lonely.
we need to love people of all sorts
we should not take things for granted.
esp things/ppl that are closest to us that they've become unappreciatated and taken for granted.

i cooked dinner today again!
went to vicky's to stayover last night
watched 'the devil wears prada'
cool show
i like it. =)
its about not letting ur job change who you are and spoil ur relationships with ur loved ones.
watched e zuo ju zhi wen
vincent made up a part to the say that u love me song:
say that u love me, say that u care, SAY THAT YOU DO THINGS WITH MY HAIR
??!! yeah i know it doesn make sense
thats y it sticks to my head like superglue plus magnet.

HEHLOH!
2nd post of the day but oh well.
i have an exciting life. haha.
i think im a natural born fast learner.
hah u know.. those kinda geniuses that learn stuff quick and do them well..
yeah that sounds like me. ahahah
except for when im piano-ing, ballet-ing, driving..
but anyway...
that's cuz i cooked CHICKEN RICE TODAY!
its not just ANY chicken rice kay..
its HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE!
it tastes like the one auntie adelina cooked last time.
hehehe. AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME
my dad was like.. hmm we can invite people over to eat next time
then u can cook chicken rice.
if my cookin was bad he wouldn bother sayin such a thing rite?
so... hehe. WHO WANTS TO EAT MY COOKING?
im good at cooking chicken kebabs too. hahah.
why everything chicken?
my nickname (often used by dinedineteo and rambutan):nieniepok.
pok? pok what? pokpokkeh! (im related to shushudanielle the bigbird in a way)
so yeah. im good at cookin pokpokkehs!

im a natural. MUAHAHAHHAHAH!!

today.
daddy woke me up at 7plus in the morning!
gah.. asked me to pack my room cus it looked like an earthquake affected area.
and we had house inspection so yeh.
packed.. waited for 11.30,
went to the city to meet
shona, lucie, francis, mandy, alison, jess, lynne, claire, gladys, clara.
i think thats it.
im not close to them. just shona shah.
but their mostly asians.
and their really nice.
just that some are too obsessed with games and cd stuff while i was more interested in all the clothes hanging everywhr so i got bored alot in the cd shops
plus i have sore legs frm monday's jogging and ytd's walking-for-half-a-daay
so i was tired and sleepy and yawny and hungry.
hehe. but lunch was great. lunch is one of my favourite part of the day.
i get to eat! hahai sound so deprived.
so i embarked on a journey in search of healthy lunch with miss shah beside me chanting 'chips chips chips chips'
we decided to have kebabs. yum.
do u think of meat whenever u think of kebabs?
thats what i always thot it was. i thot kebab=meat on a stick.
but shona, vegetarian, asked if we should go get kebabs!
i was like.. for us, meat on a stick. for vegetarians.. no meat...on a stick?
what goes on the stick then?
and i realised, its a wrap. haha i got garlic sauce and mushroom topping.
YUMMEH! slurp gulp burp.fantastic.
we spent most of the time walking i realised.
and we went to HIT STUDIO for karaoke.
that's when i got hi..
hehe i saw hot guys on the screen.. WESTLIFE!
i haven heard many of their songs for ages and i havent seen them since forever..
so i was like..AAHHH WESTLIFE!!! WESTLIFE!!
those people who are thinking: eew westlife sucks/westlife is so yesterday
hmm u cant be my friend anymore.
AHHAHA JUST KIDDING.
karaoke was great fun.

city, floreat forum, harbourtown, my ballet place..
i think thats it. haha but still...
ITS A BIG DEAL OK! =D

Thursday
Finally I can say.. IT’S THE HOLIDAYS TOMORROW!!!!
Haha. Gosh. This week has passed sooooo slowly!
Anyway.. I learnt so much today…
During pe we went for ice skating.
On the bus ride to the rink, I was trying hard to sleep but I couldn’t..
Shona, who was sitting next to me started talking to *lisa

I’ve always had an impression that *lisa was really stuck up since the first time I saw her.
I think its because she seems quite negative and straightforward,
And maybe because she’s different from what I see as normal.
She was talking about her family ( she’s the only child)
She refuses to call her cousins and aunts “family” because they are quite indecent so yeah. Carrying on, she was talking about how her mum got pregnant with her when she was only 16.. and they used to be really poor that they lived in a caravan… for her to get into a private school was kind of a blessing when her dad found a good job and got rather successful in comparison to how they used to live back then. So things started to get busy with work and stuff and one day while driving home feeling stressed up and all, *lisa’s dad sort of broke down and his car crashed. *lisa’s mum was apparently clinically dead, but came back alive again. And *lisa used to work a lot to pay for stuff and all too. Now they’re all living happily and own 2 houses.

I feel really happy for her that she’s living a smooth, peaceful life now
I feel guilty for judging her
I really respect her for being so strong after going through so much
I feel guilty that while she’s so thankful for being in st marys, im not cherishing every single second I spend here.. and I even procrastinate at times.

So yeah. But I’ve never like been cold to her or anything. I talk to her but I think she’s different. Well she is different but it doesn’t matter anymore. SHE IS MY FRIEND =D.

Next… its been a challenge surviving as a Christian here. Well not that bad actually. But its been a challenge having to get into the Aussie lifestyle and mix with them well while setting a good example as a Christian over here. Yeah that’s what I mean. Ahhaha. I’ve worked out the reason as to why have I been so silent the whole year. Well.. people enjoy bitching about everyone and anyone… not everyone does that though… but yeah.. their good friends, ppl they dislike, ppl that are different, ppl they don’t even know personally.. they are all the victims of bitchism. I don’t know if I’ve been bitched about but that’s beside the point. The point here is, there’s no way as a Christian trying to set a good example that I join in and add fuel to the fire. Maybe I can try to stop them by changing the subject or try to change their thinking and point of view of the person. But what have I been doing? Well guess what.. jeannie the scaredy cat decided she shall remain silent as she always has instead of speaking up for others. I always get so pissed with myself. What difference does it make if I just shut up and stare? No difference at all! But im scared to cut in… firstly, since I’ve always been silent, I don’t see myself to be involved in the conversation. Secondly, I’m not close to those ppl.. and im scared of them to a certain extent. Hehe yes I am very timid.. thirdly, I am too self conscious. I am afraid I will be disliked by the ppl and be the next victim of their bitching if I open my mouth to speak. Well well… that’s wonderful<-sarcastic tone!

HOWEVER, I believe that as long as I keep on praying and asking for courage, one fine day, when the sun shines brightly on the mountain tops, I WILL BE BRAVE! Yes I will! xD then I’ll be able to speak up for those innocent victims subjected to the ruthless bitching of their so-called friends. If I put in a good word or two, it might be able to alter their viewpoint on that person and might even start to like them.. and soon enough, bitching will extinct and everyone will live lovingly in peace and harmony. =) that’s awesome. Although it seems impossible, every action done will help towards that utopian environment! And it is worth it!

Ok on to the holidays. Yayness.
Im staying in perth this holiday and I plan to…
shop: buy bathers
buy deodorant

my life here has IMPROVED(not really a good word to use but i cant think of the right one)
hahahha... i think i talked bout this before..ohwell.
coming here has been quite an exciting experience.
it has opened many new opportunities for me..
i get to do stuff i dont get to do in singapore..
i have time for myself. relax, do sports music dance and still have time..
yeah.
meeting more people.
I FEEL SO BLESSED!
i think im a person who dislikes changes.
i can adapt quite quickly.
once i've settled and adapted, i feel all comfy and dont wanna change the routine.
im stubborn in that way.
so now im adapting to the life here.
of course there's stuff that i miss in singapore..
my family, friends, shopping, FOOD!, school, transport..
but this place has its pros too..
my family(daddy), friends, nice weather, friendly ppl, school..
i think its just a matter of getting used to stuff..
speaking about that..
after having kristi out with me for the past few.. i mean past MANY weekends,
it does feel kinda weird not having her around.
(she's in the boarding hse studying for mocks)
i cant imagine nxt yr!
half the time i spend in the boarding hse is in her room!
talktalktalktalk.
sigh.
i hope she stays in perth for uni. =D
anyway, im quite excited for nxt yr tho.
geraldine goh rhui min is coming! (my cousin la)
yay yay. so exciting.
and kristi's brother is coming too.
so funny.. kristi and i were talking about guy best friends.
then kristi was joking that when her bro comes he can be my guy best friend
then everytime we mention him,
i'll be like..YEAH HE'S GOING TO BE MY GUY BEST FRIEND!
when i dont even know him.
then she told him that he's going to be my best friend, he was so scared!
haha..i was laughing so much i had stomachache.
continuing with my list..
i heard a girl from rgs will be coming too.
how exciting..YAY!
im going to make friends with all of the newcomers nxt yr..=D
so they wont have to feel helpless and shy and lonely like me when i first came.
i'll punch ppl who bully them (in my dreams.. u noe.. im quite timid when im not dreaming)
but u get what i mean..
so that they'll be able to adapt as fast as possible to enjoy the life here!
its such a waste of time to be sad and moody when there's so many nice things around you to admire.
oh anth thing i like bout this place..
they have nice pretty flowers everywhere..
the egg flower, the purple egg flower...
and the pretty skies with nice puffy clouds.
the super sunsets (i used the word 'super' to show that its nicer than just 'NICE')
they have pretty sceneries..
haha.. ooh. i feel so close to nature.. haha
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE LIKE POCAHONTAS!
(i used to be so proud of myself when i could spell POCAHONTAS. i was 5 or 6 ok!)

kristi's been reading so much lately its so scary..
just looking at her blog scares me.
her chim chim big words splattered here there everywhere makes me feel so lousy.
maybe i should start reading chim books like her soon.
THEN I WILL COME AND SCARE YOU!
i've been reading mangas u see.. ( ''anime is the cartoon. manga is the book''kristi)
it helps me become animated and energetic. hahha.
since i've got that animated and energetic side of me established,
i've got to sprinkle some chimmy chimchims in my brain.
off for dinner!
GOD LOVES YOU!

HELLO SQUATTIE! =D

thinking back about my first days in perth..
it surely has improved heaps now..

sometimes shy and quiet, sometimes loud and tingtong
a bit more balanced i guess..
i used to be SUPER SILENT
at least now i talk
at least now i know ppl
at least now my good friend is my silly roommate!
a few days back her wardrobe door collapsed! hahha
it was detached from the hinges!
and she had to use my mirror. GOSH
haha. and she has to make extra effort to keep her wardrobe tidy cus it'll be easily seen by the housees(housemothers.)
yeah as i was saying..
at least i enjoy stuff i do now

oh ya! i forgot to bring my school shoe for tomorrow's choir performance. haha
so funny..
then i asked someone to bring it for me cuz i left it in the boarding hse.
so malu. and i dont know her that well somemore. hehe
OH WELLS. i'll get to know her/

WHAT I LEARNT FROM FRIDAY BIBLE STUDY:
exodus3-4
God heard the Israelites' cries and asked Moses to go talk to Pharoah.
BURNING BUSH THAT DID NOT BURN!
haha
anyway..IMPORTANT POINT: dont think you are not good enough to do some stuff God wants you to do. ok.. you may have your inadequacies. BUT GOD IS IN CONTROL! HE WILL EQUIP YOU! so dont worry!
lets see moses..he was apprehensive,doubtful of his ability, incompetent,just like you and me!
BUT GOD SAID:"who gave man his mouth?who makes him deaf or mute? who gives him sight or makes him blind? is it not I, the Lord?"

INDEED IT IS! xD
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEE!YAY!

today.
ballet:
carried on with pointe and choreography..
i was so happy i could think of steps to do.
we're doing alice in wonderland as a class item..
its so cute! hahah. and funny too.
as usual, my toes are crying out in pain!
I AM CRYING OUT IN PAIN!

driving:
yeap i learnt to drive today.
daddy was so annoying..
i was like.. umm.. whr's the hole for the key?
he pointed to some place on the left of the steering wheel..
i touched about and couldnt find a keyhole!
AND I REALISED IT WAS ON MY RIGHT!
grr. how annoying.. then i have this habit on stepping on things with a lot of strength..
hahah. i did that to the brakes and accelerator.
when i did that on the brakes, my dad nearly flew out of the car.. at 10km/hr
(it was goin so slow i thot it was 1km/hr)
that's when we realised we dont have our seatbelts on!
when i did the same thing on the accelerator, nth happened cuz it was on parked mode..
so there was just a VROOOOMM sound. which was rili cool. haha.
my dad's car sounds like a motorbike!
anyway.. it was a stressful hour for me.
it was an EMPTY carpark. that was good tho.
cuz i forgot that when carparks have cars you dont have much space to move about.
bleah.

dinner,
to vicky's home:
had coffee made by their funky coffee machine.
listened to victoria's funny story..
its actually a sentence long but she took forever to say it..
cuz she would start 'one day i was rollerblading in singapore and then this indian girl on her bicycle..HAHAHHAHAHHA!!'
and then she starts over again and does exactly the same thing over and over again.
so her dad asked her to start from indian girl instead..
so she was like 'the indian girl..HAHAHHAHA!'
so what wassit??
'one day i was rollerblading in singapore and this indian girl on her bicycle behind me banged into my arse.'
i could imagine.. haha

my life plan..(sort of)
im going to get married in my early twenties [20/22]
have my first child at ard 24
i think i want to have a son first then after that a daughter.
haha.
then i should date that person as long as possible so.. 3-4 yrs.
THAT MEANS..i only have 1-2yrs to find a husband!
oh no!
haha.
i'll go make another plan then.
