Singapore National Day

Today is Singapore National Day. I went to the church with friends like normal except there was another two M'sia freshies joining us. Father Richard's homily was pretty interesting and funny as usual,haha...he is the only one which you won't get bored with his preaching; inspiring and educating. He always makes us laugh and normally he brings in real-life experiences in connection how God works in everyone of us. This morning he taught us how to receive eucharist in a proper way. Before receiving, it is crucial to make a bow first as we are receiving the Christ. He mentioned some people make a cross sign after receiving the eucharist which is unnecessary. He said:" You scared will be possessed by devil or what?"That's real funny as I have seen people doing that. After that, I went to Sakura for sushi buffet with my another girl friend. This idea was suggested by me :P It would be pretty bored if I had stayed in the hostel for Sun since I got nothing to do except watching dramas and movies. It turned out not as good as I would expect. The food was so so only but there's quite a lot of varieties I should say. My stomach was blotted already when I ate the third round. To feel that my money was worthwhile paying, I went for the next round. By the time I finished, I had stomach upset and I told my friend I need to go to the washroom. I guessed it was the sashimi which caused the problem.
Then, we went to IMM to buy some groceries before going back. Tomorrow will be my very last day of hols as National Day falls on Sun,which is today. I need to get back to my study mode again :P Tata, all the best to those who are studying.

P/S : Feeling of changing my blog layout because I think it's too dull and simple.

Before My Hols End

I m blogging in my new room. Guess what?I am staying in Residence 5 AGAIN this academic year. I knew when I first checked in just now when the officer was finding my transponder in Block 21. My heart pondered, 'So, I m in Residence 5 again'. I told him was there anyway to change to another room but he said there's no special permission from management so I will be stuck in R5 again. Anyway, he added if I find my room is too warm again, they will provide a standing fan for me.
Okay, I can't say much right since I haven't seen my room yet. My new room is facing Super Snack where you can buy your supper there. I am surrounded by other blocks which I think I won't be getting much wind since it is blocked by buildings. However, I am staying next to the fire exit. Unlike previous sems, I had 'befriended' with the cluster gate for 2 years. Now, I can sleep with peace without hearing people chit-chatting near the lift or someone banging at the cluster gate suddenly in the middle of the night.
So, I had been to JB with Clarence last Thurs for a day trip. Okay, I have to mention this here (Sorry, Clarence). Initially, we planned to meet up at Kranji at 10am but changed to 930am at last instead. He was the one who suggested to meet up at 930am but I have waited for him about an hour there. Sitting at the bus stop alone and about to finish reading my Teen magazine which I bought at the station. So, next time I have to depart one hour later if I am going anywhere with him again.
So we went to shop at City Square. Wah, the walkway from M'sia immigration to City Square was very long. Senior citizen are strongly encouraged not to go JB by coach. 走死你! Went to Kim Gary for lunch later.
After that, we headed to Jusco and UTM. Hostels at UTM are far bigger than NUS. I like it so much. The size of the room is doubled the room here.
Ok, I need to go and take a nap. Bye.

My long waited hols,yay!!

My long waited hols finally is finally here..today is my second day of hols. Had been spending the past weeks like mad dog, chionging for reports, projects and finals. However, didn't really feel good after my last paper cz I have a 101% confidence that I am going to fail the paper!! I thought I would be doing fine after trying past year questions, spending the whole night without sleep jz to prepare for that module but in the end it turned out to be %*&!#$%@. I surely have to retake next semester :(
Haiya!don't wanna think so much anymore...if really I need to take 6 modules next semester, I will have to accept with open heart, be tough girl!Anyway, I will be going back on next Thurs to Kuching with my mum. Finally can go out for shopping for the whole day without worrying when do I need to come back to study and do my assignment. Life had been so miserable if all the things piled up right in front of you at the same time. I feel like I was rushing because of quantity but not quality. I can't multi-tasking. I have to learn to do things faster, time is chasing me.
I can't stand PGP food anymore. Imagine you are eating the same thing everyday, ewe....so disgusting...okay, I don't mean the food is not nice, it's just that there are not much varieties. Luckily now is Swine not Bird, or else I have to become a vegetarian.
Looking forward how I am going to spend my 3-months hols in Kuching. I want to go food hunting, anyone in Kuching wants to join me? :) and Penang, wait for me!!

Hi all, had been a while that I didn't update my blog. I am pretty lazy to type actually but since I have nothing to do now, I will spend some time on blogging. Hm...I was back on last Sat. Had been spending my hols in Kuching. Haha...staying at home is the sweetest thing ever cz I do not have to worry about my studies, food, etc...Really, I can't believe I am going into Year 2 Sem 2 which means there will be 1 year left if I am not studying for honors. Hopefully 2010 will be a better year so that I will be able to find a job. School started on Mon and I am taking 2 electives this sem. It's gonna be a hectic semester as my schedule is quite packed but one thing good is I do not have any 8am lecture. At least I can spend more time sleeping on bed(better than sleeping in lecture hall,right?)hehe...
Being addicted to watching movies online recently until my laptop got infected by virus,sigh...but it gets better lar since I can still open the webpage but once a while virus can still be detected. I guess it's time for me to reformat my laptop. I went to IMM yesterday and ate prosperity burger for the first which cost me $7.40 (meal) with curly fries. Hm...not too bad but I am not a fan of beef and the pepper sauce was too spicy. I heard there's chicken too but I think it's not sold in McDonald here. I will be back for CNY this Fri, can't wait to hear the sound of fire crackers and
see how happening is CNY in Kuching :)

Is your hut burning?

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do things to me!" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. " We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It it easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground-it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Recent Me

Hello my friends out there! I know I have not been blogging since..ages ago? Haha...yeaps, I just feel lazy to blog. This is going to be the fifth week of my Year 2 Sem 1. Hm...what have I been doing for the past few weeks? Well, the first week here was busying going for Welcome Teas. It just a kind of 'gateway' in order to sign up for your desirable clubs. This academic year I am joining Rotaract and NVAC where both are community service organisations and also NUSPE (PE stands for Piano Ensemble just in case you are curious to know, I will explain later why I join this since I don't have piano background). I joined community service purely because it is easy to get CCA points where you do not need to have any past experience. However after I went a few sessions, it's more than what I have expected. Even though it's tiring but it's worthwhile to just spend some time with either the kids or elderly. Sometimes, I really find it is quite hard to get along with them. For example, I do not know how to interact with them at first and also the main problem: I do not know how to speak dialect. However, as you go on, I find they will just appreciate the little thing that volunteers do. When you started to talk to them, they will go on bla bla bla...talking non-stop. At times, I just feel like want to laugh because they are speaking dialect and I don't quite understand what they are trying to convey. They feel very happy even a little gift or food from us. How appreciative they are compared to us?
I am enjoying my life here though I know it's getting tougher and the workload is like...can't be explained because I haven't started studying. Everytime I pass by the reading rooms, I can see people studying and I think it's a sign to remind me to start doing so too. Anyway, I am enjoying my life now probably because I do not have any test before the break. I have spent my time watching Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea dramas. I have to start studying during my recess week liao, Amelia, jia you ba!
O ya, I join NUSPE because of CCA points too and I don't understand a single thing they are talking about piano. Most of the time I just being bored there.
Okay, I find this entry seems to be plain because no photos uploaded. I will try to upload some if I get interesting pictures next time. This is all about recent me, bye2.

眼泪笑了
作曲:郑楠 作词:蓝小邪 严云农 制作人:吕祯晃



比想象中更痛
你真的没回头
我命令眼泪不许失控
回忆不跟你走
都挤在我心中
我就有责任让它值得被珍重
谢谢你曾让我难过
谢谢我没有想太多
当爱情左盼右顾的时候

* 我眼泪都笑了 谁还想哭呢
再勇敢的站着 找回光和热
面对你的时候 我不会舍不得
因为你已是过客 因为路有些曲折是美的

我眼泪都笑了 谁还会哭呢
来不及完美的 就唱首骊歌
想起你的时候 我不是卑微的
反而我没有遗憾 因为我已爱过你 深深的 *

心碎成了沙漠 就快开凿绿洲
我没有时间不知所措
你温柔的双手 本就不属于我
又何必在乎它以后属于谁呢
