"DELETE"

weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Ps 30:5

Nobody else knows.
but God, u know.
My disobedience has caused enough grief over the years.
I'm so amazed on how You never give up on me.
Regardless of the million times i've tried to run and hide from you.
I heared You this time.
Crystal clear.
and i choose to listen this time.

my Joy comes from none other than You.
i trust in you.

8th May 2008

i still recall how you'd be soooooooo annoyed when we kept calling you this in std 1
and yes, who can ever forget the memorable experience of having an unintentional shower in
std one while we had to beratur in front of the kedai buku next to the wall with the nice painting.
sorry lar...
its been 15 years dei..

you've always been the sweetest one in our group.
even up to today, u still live up to the title "the cutest and sweetest one"
we've all grown so much la..
i'm so glad we're still in touch.
happy 22nd bday zel :)
missing u from here

stole the pic from jinn's blog.. hence the fonts...
aw.. looks like we never really grew..
i always feel like we're still in std 1 around u guys :)

we breathe................ gases...... urgh

i was bored ok.
so i ended up looking up flatulence on wikipedia.LOL
for those who wonder what the pleasant sounding jargon above means,
it simple means fart.
Yes, the thing your brother does like all day long.
and the occasional whiffs of odd smells you get when mum and dad just feasted on durian..
ring any bells.
uhuh, yup, exactly what ur thinking right now.

so yea i looked it up. and really, i found it so hilarious!!!!!!
i was literally chuckling and throwing my head back laughing to myself reading it.

Seriously farting must be totally funny to me.
or maybe the writer who wrote that article bout it on wiki is just one joker.

Depending upon the relative state of the sphinter (relaxed/tense) and the positions of the buttocks, this often results in a crackling or trumpeting sound, but gas can also be passed quietly.

Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how descriptive :p

And then it goes on to explain the various gasses in a fart
i couldn't stop my curious mind from going,
"means they kumpul the gas from someone's bum and test ar???"
EEEEUUUUUUU
but hey, i'm sure that's what they HAD to do at some point to find that out...
the sacrifices ppl make for science..

and the highlight of the article...

Flatulence is often blamed as a significant source of greenhouse gases owing to the erroneous belief that the methane released by livestock is in the flatus. While livestock account for around 20% of global methane emissions, 90-95% of that is released by exhaling or burping This means only 1–2% of global methane emissions come from livestock flatus.

ok i'm getting a feeling that i'm the ONLY one who finds this funny.
and that EVERYONE else is totally grossed out..

but yea.. one day when ur having a bad bad day..
go have a laugh!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatulence

ok sorry!!!
i won't talk bout flatulence ever again!
not on my blog!

i love :)

the awesome worship team of oxygen..
everyone looks so happy..
except wee li.. with his xylophone
er, maybe that's how he expresses his happiness.
i think i blocked abel. oops.
all the guys wanna stand behind me, when they KNOW i'm taller..
kiasu ar.. hehe
i miss camp!!!!!!!

extreme makeover

ok maybe the title is a little exaggerated

check out my acne last year.

now lets have an uncensored view of how bad my acne was in 2007

seriously acne is anything but fun.
Not only does it hurt and that it's such a hassle (skincare etc)
it made me feel really dirty and frustrated as well.
even sarah looks disgusted in the pic..
like "uurrrgghh~!! why the pimple face so near mine!! spread to me how!!??"
lol

but hey, one year from then...

things are looking a little brighter :)
check out the pic below..
right after i got up from my beauty sleep..
that's when my skin feels the best.. smoother, i must say..
ignore the messy hair and the messy room and the bathroom behind me..
and just observe the SKIN.
must agree with me that its better hey?
not perfect.. but better..??


well the pic above is a lil decieving tho..
looks fairer from the sunlight coming thru my bedroom window..
so decided to try another pic under the influence of white light in the bathroom..
yes.. i combed my hair.. but i still look extremely sleepy though..
well, the scars are still all over the cheeks.. with some red and black spots here and there..
but its SOOOOOO much better than last year..
i'm so so so so relieved!!!!
the agony and diligence abiding to my skin care routine has finally paid off!!


so it's all smiles!!!
lets hope it continues to get better over the next many years!!!
and one day i will get to experience smooth skin with no bumps like most others do :)
can't wait for that day to come : )

thank you mummy and daddy for helping me deal with this.
and taking the trouble to shuttle me to and fro for treatment.

i shall leave u with siew ghee's signature show-all-your-teeth smile!!
seriously!!
the SKIN!!!!
yippeee : )

ain't life great?? :)

nostalgia

aw.... good times....
came across this vid of jon and ka fai randomly jamming
they're so awesome la
even crappy just for fun playing always sound phenomenal :)
miss our band heaps :(

thaddeus is back!!!!

yes the title says it all!!
Thadduesssssssssss is back in adelaide!!
How cool is that!!! like so cool!!
can't wait to meet up with him and lucas.
and go play badminton!!
or swim!!
or makan!!
or anything!!!!!

last night while i was wasting my life away on msn,
it was the very first time i was actually chatting with ALL 3 of the Lee brothers at the same time.
Thaddeus and Lucas who are in adelaide, and small fart matt back home in Malaysia.
i totally absolutely LOVE the 3 brothers. they rock my world.
lol dun ask me why i'm mentioning all this.
its just totally random.

been sleeping heaps for the past couple of days.
blame it on the weather!!
its so cold its threating to turn my toes gangrenous and just drop off one by one.
but 3 layers of clothings and a nice snuggle under the sheets on my 2meter high bed does the trick.

my sister told me she's gonna be running her company on her own now as she and her businesss partner have decided to go their own ways.
hope it all goes well from now though.
its not a very easy task to run a company on your own really.
although its just a small company, its been blessed with overwhelming projects and whatever u call it and its really been growing over the past 2 years.
aiyah... sure ok one la.
my annoying sister has the DNA of a champion.
and i have the DNA of a loser.
i work my butt off but she always sails through better than me.
don't i just hate her. grrrrr.
*winks*

my phone is totally bongkers
the lights don't go on when i slide it..
so yea.. if you text me at night.. there's a 50% chance i won't reply coz i can't see anything on the screen!!!
especially if i'm already nicely hibernating under my comforter in mid air..
as in my bed..

i went for a swim on monday..
it was such a cold day and plunging into the heated pool was just.... wow
but the moment i got out.. goodness... shiver shiver..
and worse.. they left the door like wide open!!
nonsense!!
it was like 10 degrees outside..
i ran like a naked kid from the pool to the shower!!
COLD K!!!

i'm such a bad swimmer.
never been a good one.
still remember those days when the group 5 boys can swim faster than me when i was already in group 1. LOL.
but oh well, it was good fun and hey it did benefit my fitness level for my other sports.
i should go for another swim today.
Got 5 swims to finish by the 13th of may or it'll all just be wasted.

gotta go to the library in a while.
got some partner work to do for the electives.
my results for the final exams won't be out till the 2nd week of may.
i hope it all goes good.

sometimes i think i can be absolutely selfish.
and inconsiderate. and the list goes on and on.
apparently i'm a good friend. puhleaaassseee.... pfft.

alrights! time for a shower and then its off to school!!
sorry for the boring post..
not being very creative with my words now.
oh well.

i need clean hands and a pure heart.

Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life.. proverbs 4:23

panjang

For the past couple of days i've constantly been finding myself thinking that maybe God made me taller and huger than most average girls (or shall i say all) so that i could be someone others could literally lean on when times get rough..


how random

but that's a really nice thought i must say

:)

well done boys. and the 2 girls.

9 of us went to tatachilla to set up for tmrw's camp earlier today
The boys: Ben, Zie, Yong Ling, Don, Abel, Yong, Ah Boon
The girls: Su Ling and myself

Setting up is NOT easy..
and these boys ( and many others) do this EVERY SINGLE WEEK
all i did was the deco..
which was NOTHING compared to setting up the stage, the spotlights, the amps, the chairs, the funny wires and testing the sound system..

*salutes*
well done boys

........

i'm at the verge of tears.

i just finished my exams yesterday.

it had been such a terrible sem.

i've never felt this stressed ever.

plus the need to juggle the pressure with so many other commitments threatened to send me off the boundaries of sanity.

just when i thought the exams were over for a while.

and that i could finally get some rest physically, emotionally and most importantly spiritually from the non stop pressure since placement in january...

plus the whole excitement of going to camp.

our first oxygen camp which we've all worked so so hard towards..

what more, i've committed myself to dance, worship and games at camp............

camp is on the 23rd, 24th and 25th...

and here's my timetable for electives which start next monday..

Revision tutorial on epidemiology:

Thursday 24 April 10AM-12PM

Lectures on biomedical research methods:

Thursday 24 April 1-3PM

there goes camp...

as though we haven't had enough exams..

30 min written test (Assessment #1):

Monday, 28 April 2008

oh GOd.... i so need this camp............

a break from the books

one paper down.
One more to go.
i really thank God for his peace and strength to get through yesterday's paper.
And thanks to all the wishes and prayers from everyone!!!
It really helped me get a grip!!

What would i do without God and all you lovely peeps around me
*muacks*

neway.. camp is like a week away!!!!
BOY AM I EXCITED!!!
i must commend the publicity team for coming up with such awesome vids for the camp
and the skid at mamak night was like OOOOYYYOOOHHH
cekap

while i go back to my books..
enjoy another vid by the publicity team..
and be inspired to come for camp!!!!



i wonder how many times yong ling fell off the bed while trying to climb with the bag on his head.
see u tmrw after AP400 is done!!!

toodles!!
ps: this is all your fault wei jin

cats galore

cracks me up to think bout mum.
SHE'S OBSESSED with cats..
and no.. not those sleek persian cats which cost like more than my education to own..
but those scrawny little street cats that make my back lane their home

SERIOUSLY JOLENE, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

if she never picked that pest tyrande from pelangi court, there wouldn't be 3 felines snuggling on my bed back home right now

YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT

THREE!
TIGA!

no joke wei..
tyrande even collects ang paus on my behalf!! ooyoh!!
it the past year, FIVE cats have made my house its home..
and it so happens to be that i've been away in adelaide for that whole time

first there was tyrande..

and then rusty came along.
and then she died an a tragic car accident which sent the whole house crying.
then goldie, rusty's sister was taken in
and she died too.. by accidentally snacking on rat poison in the neighbour's garden.
poor little thing.
then patches took over her place..
and recently, in comes fluffly!!!

awww.... maybe mum misses me too much


lol, neway.. welcome to the new home fluffy..

so yea.. now we have goldie, fluffy and the king of the house, tyrande..

i won't be surprised if i see this when i come back next jan


finals are next week!!!
monday : Ethics paper at 2pm
Wednesday : Ap paper at 10am

goiung thru a whole rollercoaster ride with exams, camp, emotional nonsense and the list goes on and on and on...

but hey, i know i'll survive.
why?
coz Jesus is on my side

Life is good, and has never been better!!

pictures of the rugby sevens...... next week after exams!!!

inspired by Wee Li: REGISTER FOR OXYGEN CAMP!!!

i miss...

dear matt and shermayne... (if you're reading this)

sometimes i wish we were still kids in school..
and not young adults like we are right now..
why?
coz when we were kids we were so inseparable..
we did everything together
we shared our lives, literally
but things have changed so much over the past 5 years
we're all in different locations..
far far away from each other..
living different lives
seeing each other only a couple of times a year
i must admit sometimes i'm guilty of not taking the trouble to keep us glued together..
but there are also times where i really really feel the effects of not seeing ur faces everyday like i used to..

i miss the both of you very very much
life is really different without you

hip hip hoorrraaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!

after the many years tears and fears and joy and pain..........



FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!



congrats to all of you!!!

such a happy day
everyone looks absolutely gorgeous with nothing but smiles on their faces

tmrw will be gracie's turn
*winks*

in the meantime..
GET READY FOR ADELAIDE SEVENS!!!!!

OOOOO!!!!

finally

It felt like eternity

but i've finally received the answer to so many doubts and questions i've had in my heart for the past couple of years..


For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil- 1 peter 3:17

Amen to that.

= )

come one come all!!!

claiming the promises

Its getting harder day after day.
Scares me to think that i can fumble anytime throughout this 4th year.
How am i to do this on my own without God.
Like a child, i just wanna run back to You remembering that i cannot do this on my own.
I thank God for everything, really.
How He has brought me through the past 3 years of hard times.
One more year.
I know I'll get through with Him by my side.

I trust You Jesus.


"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" Philippians 1:6

agony

never dance barefooted on carpet when u know ur up for intensive practice.
WEAR SOCKS!!



looks like i'll be limping down the streets of adelaide in the scorching merciless UV rays and constantly forced to catch the unreliable connector to school for the next couple of weeks till this hole gives me less pain.

what's with my feet since i came to adelaide really!!!


marabelle's so gonna kill me for being my own podiatrist.

but hey i think i did a lovely job with the bandaging. hehe.
