终于了了。知道了，不是你。
才归来24小时。就恢复了懒散的个性。
我睡了13个小时。看了宫心计4个小时...

忘了我离开时，留下的一大堆要收拾的东西。现在就有如雪球一般...越滚越大。
it's time to start cracking.
stop planning and start penning things down.

running 10k in 5 months.
of all that i learnt in this trip. the most precious that i think i can directly carry on in my life is probably reflections everyday.
probably i will see more blog posts.
probably i will start a physical private journal.
probably i will have someone to share my thoughts with... probably not.
but anyhow, reflecting really helps me stay on focus. or find out what is it tugging at me making me feel uneasy...

Labels: simple happyness, updates, vacation

wow. maybe this comes with age.
but i really already am missing my home and room and stuff.
perhaps as we grow older. we get more comfortable with the discomforts of this world. being more blinded and even enjoying these imperfections.

long gone are the hopes and adventures and dreams.
and perhaps greater the craving for stability.

离开起点，却又回到原始. is there any irony greater than this.

somehow the people i miss are less.
but knowing that i miss them much more.
but some how to be always with these people i can't always be me. :(

Hope something wakes up my idea.
i don't even know what exactly is wrong with me in this year.
只有心中隐隐作痛的伤口，溃烂的伤疤，还有永远于事无补的胶布。

Labels: :(, sillythings, vacation, 叹

yeah, thank GOD for it all.. up to this day.

Well, loads have happened since my last update.. and today I have a little bit of time on my hand so I could update my blog :)


my simple happyness

Well,as Clara Fu had said while I was constipated paddling in the sea... My 21st celebration is self-torture. Friday cell group had a humongous Bakerzin Cake for me, truly the largest I had in yearrrs. it was good although I brought half the cake home.
Then Monday I went cycling from ECP to Bedok Reservoir to climb trees. and my birthday cake got thrased by the sudden downpour. So I didn't have to eat cake again. but we stuck a candle and sang the song anyway. :)
Tuesday went canoeing with Joycelyn and Clara. so wonderful. although I screwed up by forgetting my 2 star cert and the super heavy rain. wanted to go round ubin kayak but only got to paddle from changi to pasir ris beach (read: HIGH MICROBIAL LEVELS FROM LEAKING SEWAGE PIPES)

MAF2009!
super screwed! the light ups that is! but we had fun dancing wild wild west and set on you (:
Bernardos I miss you! :) I can't get over the fact that I missed dancing set on you with him last year, just to see a not nice eye candy of GREEN EVIL PIXIE!:(
anyway, this year I think they secretly want to poison us with CO gas.
It was great having my birthday cake and singing the song at the 78 class bench, going to the READING ROOM to see the vandal we did in 23.11.2006 still there..and talking to Mrs Cheng and playing with Samuel - Mrs Koh's new son. okay not so new - like 1.5 years old.


and we went to Ying's house to eat a lot of nice food and do what 78ers are good at doing! MUGGG together. BOOMz Ris Low is entertainingly STUPID.


ACADEMIA
Everything is so tiring with school. with tests.
and always trying so hard and falling short so much.
thank God anyway for great E learning week where I shall be deep in my books and hibernate in them. I will work hard and one day I will 出人头地! just like the times I mug my ass off in HC and suddenly got my name in the top 30s for bio! :)

Thank God even for the Provider He has always been.
my Bank Account has been dwindling at an exponential rate as I signed up for an OCIP
and a Photography class.
and my tuition kid MIA. so I practically have expenses > income for quite some time now.
but lately he gave me a 2 week assignment with relatively good pay, one bus stop away from NUS and pays almost the amount I need to pay for my OCIP.

and my pierced ears refused to heal.
it closes up like super fast.
yesterday as I woke up in th emonring, my earrings fell off (the one that 78 bought for me, I had put them on the previous night) and I went for lecture, in a hurry without earrings. 2.5h after that, I returned home and my ear holes were closed totally. wa lao. i poke like 1.5h with painful endurance and finally got them back in :(
I think they are gonna stay for the next month again.

I'm now lazing in my couch watching the Perfect Storm. :)
thank God for E learning week. I need to work on my discipline! :)
LOYAL ENDURANCE

今天庆幸能与两位大号人物共进午餐。
虽然三人已疲惫不堪，虽然说话时不时被周遭的事物打断、淹没。
但是还是在平凡中安享了午后时光。

拒绝了音乐会，也拒绝了烧烤会的邀请，
我独自一人在困倦之中选择了到邻里的购物商场兜个圈儿。
就这么兜一兜，买了老牵挂在心上的一些开学必需品。

又要成为个学生了。
这12周，过的十分仓促...但其中的几个目标也算达成了。
前6周的休息，有满足有失望。
后6周的工作，有学习有劳累。

最失望的是我前6周的主要目的完全没有达成。
最满足的是我前6周真的是睡够本man!
学习到了许多课本学不到的知识，吸取了不少宝贵经验。
但是却苦了我的双脚。
它们俩今天已经能穿上我平时觉得太formal太不舒服的那双鞋，走遍整个购物商场。
当然，没有比工作穿的那双鞋痛苦。
也更没有高根鞋来得折磨人。

我爱，今天的平静。
无声无息中，把今日该完成之事顺利的完成。

omg. this is like the most successful birthday celebration since I don't know when.
it's like the funnest and the most comfortable and happiest one :)

although its not my birthday, but I still got to enjoy it with the dearest dearest sisters in my life forever. :)
we went to escape theme park and I was so reminded of ang chieh! the other time I was with her, just the 2 of us, on the viking... on a early saturday morning. and I was like screaming beyond myself, to the point that I could only vibrate about a fixed position. and she was like totally enjoying it. we obviously sat at one end of the viking...and I rmb I started screaming when nobody (if they were on it) would have felt it being scary.

age makes you cowardly.

or maybe not. Meiyi was commenting about the scenery when I was sitting with her -.-
I was much better this time because I obviously refused to sit the higher ends of the viking.

then we blind folded her, and had a very interstingly co-operative taxi uncle that kept trying ways to help us not to reveal the location of our dinner. we promised to split the ransom with him, because we were like kidnappers. LOL.
ended up we went to PINCH OF SALT cafe @ tanjong katong road. it totally rocks.
the staff was great, the food was excellent, and they played the happy birthday song while Ren Wen came in. haha.. I love that place!
We were so full and satisfied after a rushed lunch and a whole tired day. but very fun.
it almost didn't feel like a normal sunday.

which is quite sad. last time sundays were to me the happiest day of the week.
now its only happy when I am off-duty and get to sit alone in my own world during service, with only God the Holy Spirit talking to me. and after that everybody would still be on duty and so I will just go back to the cheaper westerlies for my lunch alone :/

if only every sunday was filled with friends, fun, laughter & quality fellowship.
instead of outreach for the plain sake of it.

my throat feels sore now from screaming.
my heart feels happy now from the outing.

Labels: updates, vacation, yay

okay holiday resumes for one week :)
I know my preceptor is silently envious of us..
my darling lab buddy has been confirmed H1N1. and we pharmacy batch 2 ppl went to have lunch tgt.
We shared food at pasta mania, but heng buddy didn't eat, she just stare at us. lol.

Thanks to that, i got to sleep from 4pm to 10pm :)
YAYYNESS.

that's why HCPs should always protect ourselves when serving our patients!

Well, that's probably the end of my 6 week sabbaticals.
I can't say I have fully utilised it all.
But I have to gear up to the challenges ahead for the rest of the year.

I'm already year 3 and up next is my preceptorship and probably a mini birthday celebration?
Well, birthday for a purpose. just for close friends & family i guess :)
I must say that God is amazing, through this all. Sometimes maturity & growth comes through trials and situations, instead of simply willing oneself to grow up.

Simple happiness. is still a quest, a desire, and very much part of me.

In all His mercies, my terrible grades & health problems, and even in the tension within splash... I see the hand of God looking back. I'm not fully out of the tunnel. But definitely closer to the end than I was. At least now I appreciate why I had to go through all that. For the benefit of myself as well as others.
Church camp was fantastic. awesome. and now i sound totally American.

but it was really apt. the timing of the issues touched upon, for my personal life.
so was the random sermons I decided to listen to on Podcast :)
Even the scriptures like Zechariah 9:11-14 and Hosea 2 were evidently repeated through the Sermons in Chinese ministry's side, church camp, the random sermons i selected.

神造万物都按他的时间
成为美好成为完全！

Dinner with Yangying was great last night :)
We have indeed grown to be budget consicous exploited interns. At least she has.. I'm gonna start next week.

after Church camp, I settled 2 major issues weighing down upon my heart for the longest time ever. Total surrender and total forgiveness.

我们都是独翼的天使，只有并肩才能翱翔。

Well, there goes half, exactly half of my holidays.
It's a quarter for everybody but not for me.

Results are out and I really am disappointed.
I guess no matter how bad, I always hate myself for any deprovement.

Have been home almost everyday, only leaving the house to church/ neighbourhood and not going out at all. This has been my life since the reading week. People may think I'm weird. and I didn't even go for class outing today.

I have been praying, perhaps to make up for the time I lost this academic year, for the past almost a month. and truly, time spent with God puts yourself in the right perspective, and some how the struggles you go through...they seem lessened.
I guess being refilled by the Holy Spirit really does give one strength. :)

I have learnt so much in knowledge and been complaining that my head is full of truth but my heart is void of love. I realise now that knowing must be coupled with spending time with God for the heart to be transformed into acceptance.

I have never read Dr. Bailey's book for less than 6 months before I finished it. But I just completed one in the past week. I am amazed too! Plus two other books - 几迷's 失乐园series.
以前，没有那个闲情逸致，停下脚步来思考，来阅读。这几个礼拜却拿起了搁放许久的书籍，重新审查了自己。

叉叉熊好厉害！
叉叉熊从小就被虐待，如果你问他，哪里最痛，他会轻轻地摸着他的心。
我想，前一段日子，我的心就是如此。
但是叉叉熊坚持 － 最痛的地方，要用最美丽的方式包扎。

我想，最使我痛苦的人，我也要以最美丽的方式处理。
虽然称不上好朋友了，但也要为我们曾经友好的关系，画上美丽的据点。
遗憾，抛开....给未来一个盼望、一个发展的余地。

The Dr. Bailey's book - on the Kings of Judah. Well, it just elaborates greatly on the verse "耶和华的意念是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念。 ”
Many times when a King turns away from the Lord, he goes through wars and diseases and what man sees to be retribution from God.
But truly, God desires the difficult cirucmstance to turn the King's focus back onto Him. That in dire circumstance, without one's strength we look back to Him. But many fail to do so and seek not the Lord.
I guess, no I believe, this is the case for my studies.

I told my friend I came to terms with my rebellion because I coudln't come to terms with obedience. I knew what I was to do. and I even DID what I knew was right, but it was so difficult and so sorrowful I never wanted to do it again.
and to another friend, I said "I just want to canoe polo my life away" because I felt so terrible at the conflict my divied loyalty brought me into. and seemingly cp was that which gave joy.

Truly, truly, it's not the case.
I cannot forget what God told me when I told Him "I think I found what Passion is" (referring to cp) and when God speaks there is nothing you can argue with. ppl might find me an argumentative person, always having a point to make... but with God you just go quiet. I mean,you know inside out, that that's the truth. Totally.

I guess He gave me a really good reason to save me out of my own mess. for me to stop all my nonsense. Afterall, I am first a student then a player. Better to be a fool in the eyes of the world than wise in my own.
The only quesiton now is when.

Gonna spend more time with God to find out.

I've got a world waiting for me.
But its that what I want to go into and become?

hey~
I just bought my new foldable bike.
so happy so happy. I'd be using it to go to work in the next few months...

I won't need to walk an agonising 20min to the nearest MRT anymore!
Neither do I need to walk 10min to the bus stop to wait for another 10min to wait for the bus just to take 2 stops of bus to the MRT :)
yayys
but weather's really hot and cycling makes you smelly..
I hope they install deodouriser in the MRT aircons... maybe something that can stick right under your arms HA!

虽然又是一结束考试就到教会，但是这次比往常不一样了。
这次为的是真正的祝福到人，不是仅仅完成工作而已。
今天，顺利的把一些要处理的事情作好了，剩下一些些，15日再继续。
一切顺心。还吃了好久没吃到的西餐:)
心中分外感恩。

算了结了心中一些问题，
顾虑的事情总算是听到牧者的心意了。
至少，我现在知道朝往的方向，晓得大致上该如何使用我宝贵的6周。

and when I was getting out the station, to polo training, i told myself, perhaps I would get the bus just when I arrive at the bus stop. So there's no need to keep my ezlink card. Since I was runnign late, I was praying that God'd give me a bus.
And truly, the moment I got of the last flight steps of stairs from the MRT walkover linkway.. I saw the bus and ran for it like I haven't ran in 9998632187 years.
And the bus waited for me.
And I was the only one on the bus.
And there was no other passengers along the way to SRC.
I think Dad sent a chauffeur with a six-wheeled mega vehicle to pick me up.

And I got a seat on the peak hour MRT train again.
The person right in front of me stood up again.

一天内，能吃到爱吃的。能享受所做的，能完成所预定的目标，也能蒙受上帝奇妙的爱，能了结心中的苦闷与迷惑，能找着自己短期内的目标，能意识到自己没有在错误的方向钻牛角尖。
心中没有分外的兴奋，只有满腔的安慰与平安。
持久的、淡淡的、简单的喜乐。

说配得，我什么都不是。
最近又属灵不到哪里去 ...呵呵。却你还依然如此。
永不改变。

I have taken this monday as a day to clear up pack up and be in tune.
I guess for the past half of the semester I have been so down and disorientated.
and my room usually reflects it very obviously.

I slept 5pm yesterday to 10am this morning.
waking up briefly at 12 midnight to eat my subway dinner :D
talk about slacking!

I will have to wash my clothes and hang them, fold them, iron them today
and to pack up my room, clean up the dirt
and re-organise my finances.
THANK GOD FOR GST OFFSET PACKAGE!

It's time to set things in order and maybe start planning on the rest of my recess week
things to do include the 1000001 projects and reports. deadlines will pour in at an exponential rate after this week and I will be drowned..
not to mention SRRR coming up and all that...

i have been neglecting/ wanting to neglect something that has been part of my life since 2006. simply because there's an apathy virus going around that puts me off. really really puts me off. but new comers have been really encouraging and stretching me just as I try to pull away from this entire cold blooded gang of people (okay, not all.. but that's quite generally the mood), there comes these people who really need attention. and i really need passion renewed.

I don't agree with our leader that it's a growing up process. seriously.
sometimes i think she's just being nice.

i really wonder why do people complain about being ROSTERed to do things without being ASKED. tsk. who's the king?

sometimes I question the purpose and meaning of all this gathering to act cool together.
but sometimes I push myself for the sake of those who really need it.
and the effort is damped and less effective with the "I am so cool" gang

you know.."Let's just do it" and "together" is more cool. really.
I'm sure there is some of us that don't want this apathy going on forever.
but it is also getting to us. me included.

I hope something changes for good.
I hope we all try together, as we are supposed to..
because one man's strength is hardly enough.
because we all do need each other

My to-do list was NEVER embarked on.
now I have more to do
but I also feel I have more in me to go on:D

BIG THANK YOU to my Lord :)
who refreshed me during the retreat.

wasn't having much personal time but was still manageable within comfortable levels.
though I would need so 自闭time these few days.
I wonder how, with the work I need to do:D

spending the nights facing the sea and sorting out my thoughts was great.
some issues have to be settled.
some breaking has to be done.
i love You


most of the time we just fellowship-ed in the resort
playing uno and saboteur and reading books (some others sleeping)

baby sitting was fun.
here's my 小朋友what i appreciate most about the camp?
I don't think Banana Boat was high on the list but I so so wanted to go on it, so there were 6 others who just accompanied this other little one and went on the Banana Boat :) Thanks. :')

with a long to-do list for the next 4 days.
I'm going to my all-time favourite 阳光沙滩海洋 kindda places...in Malaysia.

oh the very thought of recess break coming perks me up
to pen down this very stimulating thought of the century

just came back from canoe polo

i am very excited.
i dont know why
maybe its because i wont have 8am lectures for one week
and no dreaded thursdays with 8am to 5pm lessons

i am very busy
i dont know why
its supposed to be holdiays
and i was supposed to have diving trip to tioman to get my advanced open water diving license course

now i have outing with my Thai class to go eat Thai food with our ?aacaan (teacher)
and to go play mahjong. i wonder if ?aacaan can play mahjong

now i have training during recess (YAYs)
now maybe i will go for some pharmacy workshop too

now i have tuitions X 3 as usual
and the ACS(I) IP syllabus is not very practical for the normally intelligent student.
it's catered to the crazily intelligent kind.
I have two ACS(I) Students.
luckily one is just sec two so i still dont need to refer to anything
everything he needs to know i have in my head permanently already.

None of my students are from the NORMAL government school.
they are either IP or international school

why am i still feeling happy while typing all these.

oh and i am finally going to have discipleship again.
it's been ages.
i miss it. and i wanna go for 4th service too! :D

by the way, the comic strip a few entries ago was posted with a sense of humour.
i am not unhappy about my birthday
though i am about other stuff(s). :(

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY GUYS!

last year national day i was at malaysia fishing.
this year national day i never left the sea.
sentosa with feng sheng people, volleyball, fresbie, swimming.. was great :)

i got scorched!
like really. my face a bit pain.. im so glad!
I so hope that i will get a tan that STAYS.
one week even would be quite an achievement.

Thursday Night was chiong night:
work at katong area - chiong to lessons - chiong home to do some personal stuff - then chiong ot pulau NTU Hall 9 @ 12am
and can that stupid huiwen says go straight, very first bus stop on the right turn in.

i passed at least 5 bustops.
her math sucks. and my father was bewildered that i have such friends.
what a embarrassing moment.

and we started doing the lamest thing on earth - facebook mindjolt games
and then The Impossible Quiz.
it's seriously impossible lah. lol.. and the last question is a super spoiler! :S

then we played photo hunt also. noobie nanyang girl said she was good at it. but no match for RVians. we top the charts at JEC all the time. esp the RV Scouts. those were the days..when the whole squad can squeeze in front of a machine for an hour. everyone with a finger in place.

slept at 4.30am after watching robinsons.
awakened by those infrequent inconstructive dialogue between ang chieh and huiwen.
speaking super loudly cos they had earphones on.

Friday:
7 early 8 early in the morning go all the way until Newton to play badminton.
super tired. but amazed that we managed to continue playing and playing for like 1.5h straight.
slack to moderate strenuous.

then after that, since i was wearing NJC t-shirt. we went Curry wok to eat! :D yums yums.
and by default we have student set meal served.
just that when i entered the place i was surrounded by people who momentarily stared at me, all wearing the same AQUA shirt as me :S

reached home and slept for 2h.
went for juhui :)
my last one before school starts. how tired also must go and get a dose of spiritual food :)
i love it when i have no duty and just need to turn up and listen.

watched 40min of Olympics opening ceremony - Impressed at the precision of execution.
Impressed at the multitude of people. Disapproving of the money spent.

slept at 1.30am

Saturday:
7 early 8 early wake up go sentosa AGAIN.
just went to go recee and class chalet the other week.
$3 $3 $3 they sure know how to make money

played volleyball volley ball volley ball fresbie waterfresbie water polo water monkey
from 10am to 2pm - 4h :D
and during the hottest period of the day.
my feet soles got cooked in the sand.
Beggar soles (modified version of Beggar Chicken)..yum yum

Eat @ Vivo and came home and switched on the TV.
NDP Just started.
watch watch watch.
parachute singsong PARADE!! and aerodynamics display.
then i fell asleep!

i usually dont like the middle mass displays anyway.
but oh darn. i only got to see the GOH contingent march out or something.
didnt managed to watch finish how the mass display come on and the transitions.

then i woke up just at the last mass display and the fireworks came on.
nothing missed:)
and i totally had no idea i was sleeping.
think my mind was kindda still active..
but my eyelids wavered and crumbled.

fireworks nice. new NDP song gross. fast version of new NDP song even worse.
not nice lah..

now online trying to get some things done.
i fell asleep in the MRT again.
last time i did that was cos i need to work office hours every day :S
and this was worse. as in much more tired kind.

oh wells.
tmr is another 7 early 8 early day.
and we're going to eat POPEYES @ Singapore Flyer tmr :p

School's monday.
and monday is one lecture
followed by 2h of badminton with Pharmers:D

It's like school havnet started.
only after teh first week will the reality set in.

till then, i may not blog as often.

Saturday night: 2.30am to 5.30am
Sunday night: intermittent sleep amongst sandy feet - 3.30am to 7am
Monday: 12pm to 7pm.

I didn't really feel very tired. And intended only to sleep for 2h and get back to working.
Who knows i woke up to find the grey blue sky of 7pm.

Sleep overs, chalets.
It has been a fantastic July 2008, and there won't be again.
2008 is a special year of 07-08 countdowns, 5th July 2008 (05/07/08) outing, July 2008(07/08) Birthday chalets. :)

with most people at least turning up for one of the events, and a whole bunch turning up for all of them:) - except Lam Guang Feng.. lol

pictures should be on facebook by others, i didnt bring mine.. due to the sheer amount of things i had to bring.
never again will time turn back.
as age slowly creep into our lives, we find less energy for such sleep overs, less energy to take the bus and walk a long distance into chalets, that we might all resort to driving cars and just having late night outs instead of sleep overs.

Girls' talk was super funny, with the boys haunting us periodically.. trying to eavesdrop.
I think alcohol really made some people more high, and more fun. Fighting to make sense admist battling a disobedient motor system, made every attempt extremely amusing.

all the RVians came! although huiwen tried to snatch my Facebook girlfriend, to no avail:)
I'm so in love with the very class of the very school i didnt want to be in.

Labels: updates, vacation, yay

I SOO SOO SOO miss sleep overs at ying's place:)
and yesterday was great!
with super fun wii-ing with tan huiwen's wii console..

and whipping up a typical fried rice for dinner,
having fruits,
playing bridge,
two good movies - Ahkeela and the Bee & Stepford Wives (Quite sick though)

loads of crapping
huiwen sucks. but we are great pals at wii-ing.
a good RVian Combo can win anything

MUAHAHA, even chuan yuan came! :)
Perfect RVian gathering, with Chieh Hwee.. Pity kimbo couldnt come.
if not she cld have offset the bullying chieh hwee aka cui hua got from us :P

This season, many people are having fever.
so are we.
we are having .. hot pot fever!

today was celebration for my beloved 好姐妹 's birthday :D
and we went to 巴蜀人家 like last year.
it's superrr nicee. China-style hot pot. Singapore style is just plain bland and tasteless. Everything tastes the same. But the Chinese hot pot is seriously good.
In the year, my tastebud has gone hihgly immune to chilli oil and spiciness.

I think my Trpv1 receptors on my tongue have gone desensitised. or maybe my nerves just rapidly fire causing the inhibition of my other relay neurones already..

for the less scientifically developed sub-species of homosapiens, it simply means that im super numb to chilli. and so the 麻辣火锅 was like totally not 辣 to me at all.
last year i shuddered at the thought of eating anything from the pot.
and only ate one piece of luncheon meat.
This year it was not spicy AT ALL.

But it was stil nice.
Everything was relatively fresh, yummy and FREE FLOW.
yum yum

Initially we wanted to go swimming, but since we couldn't because of many feminine woes, we decided to 喷水still, but on land.
and 老妈 actually even brought a spray (that people use for gardening or ironing clothes that kind) to spray wen.
Turns out it become a facial spray to cool us down from hot pot heat stroke.
Was so hot!!

oh, i rmb happy also went to this place last year.
when he was in his mother's womb. hahah.
this year was just the 4 of us:)
