We can do it. [May. 3rd, 2009|06:12 pm]

But its this feeling of being busy all the time that's keeping me on my toes and pushing me forward, harder.

It's just mere weeks away till the event, and I'm crossing my fingers so tightly we don't have to postpone it cos of the H1N1.
If it really happens, we really can just take a good break now, but its so fustrating to have to face that option when we're so close to our event date. Its going to burn us out, defintely, but I believe all of us want to do this if not we wouldn't have stuck it out for so long already.

I'm proud being part of this. That I actually am capable of being part of something so big that most people my age would never come across. Ever since this started, I learnt there was no room for self doubt or pity, only sheer faith and gungho-ness. and the lessons that I've taken with me will always be things I will remember.

We will prove to whoever's looking, that instead of falling like they are hoping to see, that our determination and teamwork is what that will pull us through the end.

But for now, while I'm still crossing my fingers that nothing happens, it's time to work hard for the Race Info Sheet for the Race Expo!

days [Mar. 4th, 2009|03:18 pm]

I can't walk properly now.

But yeah, it sure was worth the effort! (:
The route's U-turn points are finally, FINALLY up!
Felt like screaming to the entire world when James clicked the last 'enter' on his calculator.
ALL that cycling X.X

This is more tiring than work work but its something I'd definitely choose over everything else.
The OT we work till is going to make me look more of a zombie but I'll be a very happy and satisfied zombie. (:

I'm totally grateful for the chance to be learning from the best!
Guess its the kind of drive I saw in him that made me want to give my best to do things well. Plus, I'm learning so much!

Can't wait for next next Monday.
Would be exciting.
HURHUR.

I'm starting like my random titles. Weird.

I'm undecided between ranting my heart and mind out or to reassure myself here that I'm not losing my mind.

Is it that bad a choice of mine wanting to go to NIE? I'm really confused cos to me its just doing something that I want to do in the future. Yeah, all the 'you're too young to know what you want' and 'you can't be anything else with that degree and whats going to happen when you do not want to be a teacher' talk.

Sigh. Big fat sigh.

Still, it's a pretty much confirmed choice for me. Thank you to the people who encouraged me about it. Together with all the advice. Grateful. Really.

Nothing in life will ever be easy, and as much as we try to manipulate the people, situations and circumstances around us, we sometimes fail to realise that you can change nothing, but yourself. Just like how I had foolishly, and still am, thinking that people I care about will see where I'm coming from as long as I give in real effort, emotions and concern. Things don't work that way. Its heartbreaking to see what eventually becomes of your care; totally ignored and stepped upon. I'd probably asked for it, anyway. I felt absolutely bitter about it, blaming myself for the evident lack and need of self-protection (in that sense), and even made up my mind to become this cold and unfeeling and cold and unfeeling person. The thought of being like that scared the hell out of me. I ask myself, why care so much about people who probably are only using you, or who don't even realize you're a breathing human, with feelings. In the end, I gave up. My jar would probably be empty by the time it comes to the right one.

Is it so difficult? To find someone who accepts me for who I am? Someone I can look at and smile from within because I know that even when we're out leading our lives, we will still come home to each other? Someone you can share and build a future together with.

The future's totally unknown. Even for this Friday. This Friday. THIS Friday.

LAST Friday was awesome. James thought we didn't do much because half the time was spent on travelling but it's still quite a feat!
Rushing down to a secluded shop in Upp Paya Lebar and stopping the uncle just as he was about to close the gate, asking a rather shocked boss at a printing press if his pet spider will be fed to his arowana, cycling through ECP to measure the route and ending up with a swollen hand and arm because it was so damn bumpy and I had to use all my strength, having breakfast at this hideaway coffeeshop, staring at Rod's and Clarence's equipment and their ability to earn 700bucks for a 30sec recording, getting stuck in the cafe in PA HQ trying to edit a 8hrs long video to a 27secs ad and stuffing ourselves silly over lunch with Janisca and Ee Cheah. The best part would really just be talking with James (all the nonsense). And despite him insisting half-heartedly that there is one, there really isn't any generation gap, cos either he's damn young, or I'm super old.

I've got a minute for Friday's meeting to rush which I actually don't have to. Partly because I already broke the record for not sending in the minutes on the very day of the meeting itself, which ERMHEM is an accomplishment given the time I'm sent home after the meetings. And also partly because of the excuse that my hand and arm were hurting me. Hah. And also partly (3 parts already!) James probably wouldn't know that I didn't send him the minutes!

can you hear me [Aug. 27th, 2008|07:19 pm]

I'm feeling so confused
All my roads are leading to you
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
It's even harder to let go of you

Day after day, I get more and more discouraged. I don't want to look foolish running after you but yet at the same time, I'm afraid that if i don't, you would have traveled so far ahead I can no longer see you. I no longer know what's keeping me alive. is it determination or is it merely self-deceit?

vantage point [Aug. 17th, 2008|08:41 pm]
this is amusing

In Singapore , the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (HDB), and most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (PAP).

Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (PUB).

If that’s not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD)and get more from you.

So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (MOE)?

With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS), you are forced to
Pay the Sum Ahead (PSA),Which will leave some people Permanently Owing Some Banks (POSB).

And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always (LTA) system.When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital (MOH),

You might be able to use your Cash Prior to Funeral (CPF)fund.

If you are out of luck, you may meet doctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) to treat you, and you will be Sure to Give up Hope (SGH).

To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway (COE).

If that doesn’t help, they can always Eternally Raise Prices (ERP)on the roads.

If you don’t own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT), OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side (SBS ).

Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can relax, not even the good old place we used to go because it has become So Expensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA)!!!

found it off somebody else's blog

went studying on sat and sun!
with cjj and yonghao! yah i still owe you money lol
funniest joke. yonghao thought minyang's name was MIAN YANG. HAHA!

went for service at hogc. hit me right where it was hurting
have been trying to evade it for a long long time by i guess God wants me to face it square in the face
its really difficult; all the emotions pouring down like torrential rain.
its like im at the ITCZ, where theres low pressure and the formation of cumulonimbus clouds but yet at the same time im feeling so dry.like the subtropical high pressure zone.
HAHA see i know my geog.

im still trying my hardest.
i know that no matter what happens, You are not here to take away my pain.
You will just be there to see that i dont break apart
I feel comforted yet im so afraid.

peace [Aug. 1st, 2008|11:12 pm]
im really thankful for the opportunities that He can given to me, and that when i take a step back and let go, things get much much clearer.
its the darkest moments when i felt that the Lord was really far away from me, but today i know for sure that when i saw only one pair of footprints left behind, it was when my Father carried me.
it goes way beyond the description of words, the love and grace You've showed me.

Praise the Lord, for He is sovereign. :)

im was feeling slightly thrown off course when SIM got back to me telling me that they no longer offered the degree conversion in the course i wanted.
sigh.
then ps rick seaward said today that that obstacles and things like that do not make a failed dream, for if its God's dream for you, then it hasn't ended.
cheered me up alot (:

starting to re-evaluate choices.
4 more mths to go!

long long long [Jul. 7th, 2008|09:02 pm]

i didnt go for College Day(night) because it was a waste of time.

the day part was boring, i guess.
okay lah. its me lah, the person whos totally with no school spirit.
the biggest joke was that i didnt bring my coupons! :/
but its okay, the money's going to a good cause.
it better be.

ytd's service was, enlightening.
i feel that God is giving me an answer, 
from sr ps to the 40day prayer thing to even a random blog post d showed me.
its amazing, really.

i was really nervous the day before
my heart was thumping so hard i felt it was going to fall out 
ahh!
we shared (okay you taught, i shared) the same thing (:

everything turned out pretty okay for me, i guess.
the 40day prayer and fast book hit me like bullets
(not curved bullets though. i like that show!)

i asked somebody ytd why didnt he take the book, he was like. for what? i dont even do it. just read bible can alr.
im not in any position to comment but still, it was o.O okayyyyy
im not saying everybody must take the book if not they will die or smth :/
okay i dont even know what im saying now.

pretty weather today, so i went out for some time with my awesome God alone.
found some random cafe and spent the entire day there.
it was so comforting to just sit still and to listen to Him, shutting off all distractions irl and in my head.
i dont know if its just me but even sometimes when im talking to Him, i digress to a thousand other topics and forget about what i was saying way before that. either that or so many thoughts jump into my mind like monsters, roaring their way around my head.

i have like 10 pieces of paper full of my reflections and prayers and doodles from today, and no, nobody gets to see it.
so no point talking about it here hah.
10 double sided pieces of papers is even more than what i write in exams! haha!
but yeah, most of it was about life and my future and things along those lines.

the timetable's out!
tuesday and wednesdays are (imagine a noose round my neck)
except for those little breaks here and there which im so thankful for.
going to make good use of the breaks, haha like rewards you know, after studying so hard?
its so going to work that way.
the breaks AND the studying part.

somebody asked me why i love children so much?
haha (insert cliche answer aka cause they are so cute!)
no way.
its so endearing the way they come to you, without being fake and bah
other than your parents, the only people who tell you they love you and mean it ALL the time are probably children.
caps-ed the 'all' word so ppl wont get me wrong :x
like how we are children of God no matter if we are 10 years old or a 100,
its because we can be who we really are infront of the Lord and He sees our heart,
not the weather-beaten exterior, painted over and again to protect ourselves
yeah, children are like that. special (:
they are who they appear to you, they mean what they say and sometimes, i ask myself why cant we all be children again?

that day i scolded my cat for upsetting the garbage at home,
and yet apologized to him later and talked to him nicely (yes i talk to my cats)
my mom asked me why did i do that and i told her that if i was the one who messed up the house and created a wreck, she should still love me (i hope) cos im her kid. its the same thing.
i think she told my dad cos he told me to give full and complete answers with explanations to my mom the next time cos he thinks she thinks that ive got a baby hidden somewhere.
mad.

my mom's kinda cute cos she doesnt love us, i dont know, the usual way?
she's that kind of person who would be thinking and planning our lives ahead of us (without telling us), making sure we would be comfortable and eating our vegetables.
she has scary ways of making us eat them. i think my sis got the worst one. it was bad, believe it x.x
she freaks out on minor things i tell her and thinks that my suggestions and said-out thoughts are decisions and freaks out again.
she used to tell me she will stop giving me my allowance, and cut my phone bill when it exploded more than a hundred times, but never once did. :)
the reason i can speak mandarin is cos when i was little, she TOTALLY ignored me on purpose when i spoke to her in english. my dad cant speak mandarin at all. no hope. gone. hahhaha.
she insults me like mad (hello im your daughter!) when we go out shopping. 'no, wear that and you look like a slut'. mom, it was a full-length dress. and yet empties her wardrobe and goodies to me at home. 
i think she doesnt mean what she says all the time :)
have the feeling she's scared i will run off or smth and she'll never get her daughter back again. 
i wont and cant stay dependant on her for the rest of my life but i'll never run away, even if i killed someone.
cant bear the thought about my mom being sad.
mommy i love you. alot.

daddy i love you too.
haha its not like you read this. either way, i hope you never do.
:/

thanksgiving [Jun. 25th, 2008|02:25 pm]
im trying to revive my lj again after neglecting it for so long.
its the dreaded BTs now and im so so dead.
but still, despite all that im going through right now, i still want to give thanks to God who has kept me safe all this while.

its hard to see where people are coming from, and you have to use different ways to face different people.
tiring, really. i dont like having to screen my thoughts before they become words.
it feels really good to be with Him, where i know nothing can bring me down for He stands sovereign over all my circumstances.

He has taught me time and again to let go of my situations, situations where i stubbornly resisted Him.
my heart wasnt able to keep any peace, it was like rolling waves and storms and threatening to jump out and run away.
yeah, its that feeling. but yet i continued deny Him, telling myself that things will be fine soon and that i was capable to solving it alone.

and as i tried so desperately to find back something to calm myself down, i left Him behind.
during morning worship on tuesday, i was still foolishly thinking that God wasnt with me at all.
it was then that God reminded me of His presence, of His power and love.
i felt so insignificant i wanted to disappear.
cried out to Him, to leave everything behind and just follow Him.

till now, i remain standing in awe in His mighty presence. im so thankful for His ever loving grace and for the very fact that He has never once given up on me.
i count every blessing He's given me and i never want to take any for granted.
like what pris has said, when God seems to be taking something away from you, he will give you back smth. and that smth will be far better and greater than before.
its true, isn't it.

did you know?
i am happy and truly myself when with you.
(:

im alive [Apr. 27th, 2008|05:32 pm]
im in an amazingly good mood to post something today after a thousand years.

ministerial visit today was good, everything went well and nobody went missing.
awesome!
had so much fun working with the 3i people and i really enjoy every bit of it (:
i think james and i made soonlong die today with our 'attack' HEE
hahaha way to go you! start taking our advice okay, before she talks to yee more again LOL
aww. dont be sad. its time for me to impart skills to you! 

saucony in another month's time, lets go! :D

settled, or at least tried to settle things with andrew and eddie.
still not thinking about joining yec yet, prolly after a's and if i feel like it.
don't really want to be an observer; trivial things like seeing how the team is like and whether you can adapt should not be factors in deciding if you want to join the comittee and to serve the people. adaptability is always up to the person himself/herself so don't give me that bullshit.
haha anybody wants to join 3i, james wants people! lol

anw, i still have to look for volunteers for kassandra. 6 of them, actually. 
not really sure about the cip hours or whatever benefits that people come for but im the volunteer co-coordinator so HEHE
but im partial okay, don't expect to work 3 hours and make me give you 7 hours.
3 hours=3 hours (:
so i mean if you read this and is willing to commit time on the 8th june then msg me or smth and i'll get back to you.
there's only 6 ah.

i should be able to take more than that for parts of the race such as road marshals, water point marshals etc etc.
so you guys can msg me as well. 
but the last thing i want is people to fly my aeroplane so dont msg me unless you're really sure about it.
8th june. from 6am. at ecp.

we wont starve you to death, btw.
theres breakfast, and a shirt.
though i think you guys will only want the shirt. TSKTSK.

AND OMG JAMES.
THE NEW SHIRT YOU GAVE ME IS SUPER COOL :D

can we pretty please go for the debrief cause i want to see them real bad?
stop procrastinating and just go!
didn't want to look at the cards the moment i got them cos it will just cue the word 'drama'
its really really pretty :)

and oi you! screw off lah.
he annoyed me to the point of wanting to yell at him and poke his face
like seriously! don't give me that attitude like you couldn't care less when i'm talking about serious matters
and with you assuming that people do grassroots work for a post makes me start to wonder what your true intentions are.
anyway, i told to eric about it.
they all laughed.

really had enough of your 'come la come la' 'eeyer last time say want to come also nvr' 'you come i confirm you a post' talk
you don't even know what i can do, have done or am capable of doing!
zzzzzzzzz. yes i know im ranting.

I NEED TO GO SHOPPING!
realize i use the word 'need'.
normally its for people who use shopping to destress and stuff, but i seriously need to shop.
or i will probably find myself in really bad situations.
I CAN SHOP NEXT WEEK yippee yay!

decided to change my fasting from lunch to tv. didn't want to stress my mum out by telling her i'm fasting lunch.

i actually read my china studies. my favorite book.

hahaha yesterday was awesome :)
even though the rain sucked.
why cant all weathers be nice; breezy and cooling?!
btw people, we are actually living on a SPECK.
haha! im totally high now!

next week
-shop
-watch spiderwick (cos melissawong says its good)
-look forward to thursday
-and i want to try soup spoon! ahahahaha :D

die die next week also must go for mps. i am so not giving up.

which i wont. duh.

i got called a crazy evil(!) during econs. 
hey i didnt even know how to play risk okay! and still got bullied by you guys :(
hahahaha! theres like 5 evils now all with different names but basically the point is, we're evil.
im probably the only one left with goodness in me :D
come to think of it, im actually rather destructive. HEH.

okok i ve got tonnes of things to do, do the dishes, take out the trash, hang up the clothes, water the plants a.k.a feed mosquitoes, feed the cat(s).
