Hello people!
I'm intending to buy another set of color pencils.I've bought two sets previously for the past year,and they're all breaking.They've done well in coloring pictures I draw though.
I'm supposed to help Ah Xuan graffiti her name on a piece of paper,but I suddenly had an urge to post something.All well,I'm still going to complete it anyways.
Rachel Tan has her Crasins now.Good,she's not going to nag at me anymore about it.Crasins Cherry flavored are her addiction,and whining is another thing she's super good at.And you people know I can't really stand whining.
I'm still coughing,but it's getting better since I've been taking my medication.Unlike last time where every time I cough my throat seems as if it's exploding.Painful,in other words (:
The dentist just finished doing a filling for my teeth.Now I can finally book an appointment for braces.RAWR.I don't want braces.Tiny,painful,expensive metal square things pushing your teeth about.But the end result is good though,you get straight teeth.But that's in probably a few years time.
I don't bother about how I look really.I actually really bother about the cost.$5000+ is probably not just a bomb,but an ATOMIC bomb.I'm really thanking my parents that she allows me to put them on,I think it must be painful for them to spend so much money too.
I love my parents.I remember what Sheena(my net leader) said,you honor not your NICE parents,not your GOOD-LOOKING parents,not your FUN parents,but YOUR parents.As long as they are YOUR parents,you honor them and love them,no matter how good or bad they seem.
When I went to cut my hair I eventually got dragged along to shop with my mom.This time she remembers me,and I see her make the effort to at least get me interested in something since I don't like shopping.Luckily being 14 now I can buy things where my mom shops.At least better than the last time,when I'm a lot younger and can't even buy products for women,don't even understand them.Despite that I still don't like shopping.
So that's how I ended up with a brown top and blue jacket.I did feel tired after that as usual,it was probably more than 30 minutes spent.But yeah,I appreciate it.My mom was wondering if I needed a drink or anything xD.
I learnt to not always think too much for myself since last year where my mom wanted to go to Vivo City and I refused.A tired day,the VERY VERY LAST thing I wanted was a shopping trip at a shopping mall.And if I don't go,my mom can't either because my parents and I are at my parent's working area and they'd be off after work,and they can't leave me alone nor for me to go home alone,it's pretty late.
My mom seemed disappointed when I refused to go.My dad then came over,and he said a few words to me, 'Make your mom happy,would you?'.Then I remembered that my dad didn't like shopping either.He's like me,the type that'd sit by the couches in the stores and just watch the others do their shopping.But the reason why he'd go with my mom to every shopping trip she wanted him to go along with is because he loves her.And if I wanted to show love to my mom,I should think for her and want her to be happy too,even if it's to my discomfort.
Eventually then I agreed to go along.Extremely tiring for me,after all it IS Vivo city,the largest shopping mall in Singapore.But at the same time I was able to find a small form of enjoyment since I like interior design,and Vivo at least has good architecture xD.No regrets that night.Haha.
My brother's coming back home tonight!God bless,people.

Hello!
I need to take my medication for me voice soon,before my grandma starts nagging at me again.For nagging,she's really really good at it,since she makes it SO annoying of which you'll want to hurry up and just finish what she wants you to do so that she'll stop.But I guess she's sparing us a thought too,so I'll just keep quiet.
Well then,I did this during the Project Work Period,which was actually more of a free period since Project Work lessons has been postponed due to the Mid Year Examinations.So I decided to do a fake wound again,just an lot more creative version.It's actually sorta fun,in a sense. This looks a little more fake due to it's funny shape,and it looks more real to me in reality.My camera is just couldn't focus properly,Heh heh.
Then after,I decided to do some drawing!However this one's face didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to be though. Though I do admit that the hair is nice.Haha.Copyrighted by me once again,and yeah the camera didn't work too well on this.Heh.
Well well,anyways after school I decided to be Arty Farty.again and take some pictures of a pot fake flowers in my house.I just suddenly thought the arrangement of flowers was nice xD.Very Chinese New Year-like,lol. The best thing about it is,the background is WHITE.So therefore making the flowers sorta stand out more.
Yeah,I did say I was going to talk more on the message by Mike Servello yesterday didn't I?So yup,here you go.
I thought what he said about forgiveness is really true.If we don't forgive,why would God forgive us?Indeed we do forget how much we've been forgiven by God,he has been so merciful,so loving,even though when we have done so many wrongs in our lives.We probably sin everyday even,but YET,God still forgives us when we ask him for it.How about us then?Maybe someone just didn't do good towards us for just once or a few times,and we don't forgive them.How unfair is that?
This is why I loved Jesus parable about the Master and his servant who owed him a huge debt,because the meaning behind it is so real,so correct,something we should truly learn.Well,basically,the servant owed the Master a debt SO HUGE that it was practically impossible for him to repay the Master.However,after pleading with the Master,his Master showed compassion,forgave him and let him go.Take note,this sum of debt is really,really huge,and to just let someone go like that without paying back is actually very difficult thing to do.
Then when the servant went out on the streets,he saw another guy who owed him pretty much lesser than what he owed the Master,and he GRABBED him by his throat and demanded for the guy to repay him every penny he owed.The guy pleads with the servant,but the servant only threw him into prison until the guy owed him could repay back every penny he owed.
When the Master found out about this,he was absolutely FURIOUS.I mean after all,he DID let the servant go with such and huge debt,and what the guy owed him was so little compared to how much the servant owed the Master.And so,the Master called the servant back,and threw him into prison as well,until he could repay every penny he owed the Master.
God represents the Master,the debt represents the wrongs done,and we represent the servant in the story,we the ungrateful things.Like the Master,God shows compassion on us when we ask him to forgive us for our wrongs(which are a LOT),and he does forgive us.We are happy that he has forgiven of course,but how about us?When we walk down the street and see someone whom has done little wrong to us,do we forgive him,or are we like the ungrateful servant who doesn't forgive despite how much he have been forgiven?Likewise,why should God forgive us if we don't forgive?
Think about the people you haven't forgave in your lives.Forgive them.They may have wronged you terribly,but always remember,you have wronged God A LOT MORE,no matter how much more you think they have wronged you.And God forgave you,he really did.How about you?Will you forgive?
I know it can get difficult.I've been through it,trying to forgive.Say it out loud if you must,I admit it helps.'XXXX I forgive you'.Keep saying it until you think it helps.It sorta does for me (: It's another key to be closer in relationship to God,and being happier.
Haha,LONG post today.And so,to end off,I dedicate this picture to my brother in N.S. KUMA-CHAN MISSES YOU BROTHER!So do I.Haha.Strive hard in N.S,we'll always be there for you!
God bless you people (:

Hair Messing.
Hellooooooo!
Haha,to start off,yes I was busy for the past weekend,and I'm really looking forward to the NEXT weekend!I spend time with God,and I meet friends who are genuine,of better influence,and fun (:
Saturday first,and yeap,mom got me a brown top she wants me to wear for Amos's(My 3 year old cousin) birthday.But I didn't take a picture of myself in it.Heh.I had a lot of fun,and frankly speaking it's sorta like a family reunion huh.Yup so here are the pictures.
My sis and Amos!He's so cute luh,carrying a great big toy car.Haha. My sis with a REALLY TINY car(xD) and Amos,seemingly clenching his fist in joy.I don't know what english I just used,xD This is Amos!What happened here was super funny,my older cousin Hong Rui was pretending to shoot Amos with a small toy black pistol for fun,and Amos ran out of the room and came back in with this HUGE toy gun you see in the picture and started *shooting* us.We laughed like crazy lol. And this was his Birthday Cake.Cute huh.I remember those times when my birthday cake was like that,LONG LONG ago xD.
Then Sunday came,and God's presence was really strong in morning service.I just closed my eyes and enjoyed his presence,and when worship was over I was like 'Aww'.I wanted to enjoy his presence more.God I love you!
Then there was afternoon outreach!They had a manicure (which I don't want to and never will go for anyways,my nails are too short xD) and a Lego building competition,which I thought was quite interesting.I wanted to help someone manicure though.Even though I don't like manicures I'm pretty good at doing them.Haha.
For Lego building,the teams were supposed to do up a house and give an explanation for it.There were 3 teams,and team 3 (Noah and Gabriel) won! Their house cute lor,they built a 'House of God'.
Yup,this was the winner of the Lego building competition.Haha. Cute and neat.
This is Nicholas(sec4) and his friend's creation.A fortress they say,haha.
Then in the wait for evening service,I decided to MUG.I didn't mug a lot still since while I was doing so my region 1/2 friends came.Pretty hard to concentrate with them around,such a whole load of fun and tao poking(for the guys).In the end in order to mug I had to plug in BOTH my ear phones and blast the music.Fine,not really blast,but loud enough to stop any distraction.Haha.
So yup,I sneaked a picture of them. Checking out each other's phones they were.(=
Oh yes,Pastor Mike Servello is a GREAT speaker.He talked about forgiveness and the destruction the tongue can do,and how we should use it properly.I really think he spoke really well,and I'll talk more about his message tomorrow (:
After service,ONCE AGAIN LIKE ALWAYS,Daniel and Timothy were messing each other's hair.But this shot's a lot clearer,and Daniel wasn't very willing to pose therefore covering his face.Timothy is smarter this time round,never wax his hair.Next time Daniel if that happens cover your hand with wax and start messing.Then you'll be equal.Haha.
I love God,and I love my friends! Thanks for all the great times really,I appreciate them a lot (: God bless!

Spam.
Hello!I am going to spam this post with pictures!Enjoy (:
My hamster is TOO cute.It sleeps in some of the cutest positions I tell ya xD Front view.... Left view. Cuteness. My hamster seems like it's saying 'LEMME OUTTA HERE!'
Ok enough of hamsters.Next up is the BBQ at Sembawang!
Yeah I took this while they were preparing the water slide.They were really creative,and we had a lot of fun(: These were the Otahs Sam and I were making. Rachel and Huimin.They were supposedly 'mesmerized' by the lights.HAHA. Uh.Timothy after the water slide. The moon was BEAUTIFUL that night!However I couldn't zoom in luh.Oops. What's a BBQ without food? Yeap,this was what I ate there ^^
The next day at evening service Daniel and Timothy were messing each other's hair again... I can't resist posting it up lol.It's too funny xD
Time for some artistic shots I took when I was bored! Taken at Cheng Siew's house when my team were filming. I like this shot.Taken at CCK's coffee corner. Scenery at the BBQ. I drew this!Copyrighted.
And to end off,I shall post a picture of a trick that everyone got so worried about. I drew this on my hand,and apparently everyone thought it was real lol.
Hello!
GOOD MORNING!!!
Picture credits to http://elementality.deviantart.com/! I decided to use red today and energize my day! Red was my very first favorite color after all (: (and it still is!)
Ho ho ho my brother's coming back from N.S after 2 weeks! 2 weeks no brother huh.Haha,well a BOTAK,TANNED,and STRONG brother is coming back today!Welcome back bro,I'm pretty hefty sure that lots and lots of people will come asking you about N.S. Haha. ^^
I am going to feel quite uncomfortable since I'm wearing something rather formal today,because I'm going for my cousin's birthday,and my mom requested that I wear it.Not that I don't like what I'm wearing,but the point is,it's actually quite rare to see me wearing formal things.
For example,than a dress,sometimes I think I'd rather wear a tuxedo.The one that looks more for girls,I'm not wearing the guy one.Haha,not a butch,it's just that I'm not used to wearing dresses.Other than my school uniform,if I wear any other dresses,Joy chua will scream (in surprise and delight,she's been wanting me to be more feminine for sometime now) and Daniel will FAINT.Comparison of my guy best friend and girl best friend.Am I right or am I right?Haha.
Anyways,it's still early now,10.05 am.It's a SATURDAY,why on earth am I up so early? I should be sleeping ehs.
I have one interesting body alarm clock,and there's frankly speaking a time set for each day.On weekdays,my body will automatically wake up at somewhere around 4.30 am,and seeing that it's so early I'll go back to sleep,until my handphone alarm wakes me up later at 6am for school.
For weekends,I wake up after 8am for sure on Saturdays.No disturbance,from last night all the way until 8am+ in the morning. For Sundays however,I'll wake up somewhere around 7 to 9 am for church.Surely.But my handphone alarm will be on still,JUST in case I don't wake up.I often do though.Hehe.
Ok,I needa go take my medicine for cough now,and then get some rest.(:

CUTTED! Whoot.
Hello!
I have cut/chopped my hair! And I like it SO much.I feel a lot lighter,and now I don't need to worry about so much tangles.It's shoulder length and comfortable,YAY.I haven't got a good hair cut for long.I don't need to worry about my hair anymore for time,^^.
Net later at Sheena's place!And I hope I can figure out my way there,I've only been there once.I should be able to,I'm not THAT stm.Haha.
Mid year exams today,and I gotta a testimony!Well yesterday while mugging I gave myself a practice,and I decided that I would choose a topic to write on.And while randomly selecting a topic,I choose one particular topic and wrote with such emotion,and I thought it was actually pretty good.AND TODAY,the exact same topic came out.I started smiling straight away when I got hold of the question sheet,and wrote out all I can.I felt that what I did today was better than what I drafted,DEFINITELY.
Well thank God very much for today! I certainly hope that I can score well :)
Thursday, April 24, 2008 / 6:21 PM
Emotion-FULL. HAH.
Hello people!
Picture credits to http://swaroop.deviantart.com/ for the picture!My theme for my scrap book in D.O.T that Coach Xavier asked us to do is pretty much rainbow-ish.But rainbows are beautiful,aren't they?
I'm reading up lots and lots of compositions,the BEST ones I can find.And re-reading some chapters of 'Twilight' and 'Red Sky in the Morning' to get some tips for colorful writing and unusual but terrific descriptions!Basically impress the teachers with the most colorful piece of work you can produce,and obviously,a good story with truckloads of emotion.
And why I'm doing this?Tomorrow's my mid year examination,English paper.And being someone good in languages I am going to try my UTMOST BEST to score it with flying colors.I'm trying to aim higher than what I got last year for my composition,21/30.Not bad,but still not good enough.I'll tell you what impresses me,24-26/30.You can do it Ah Ming,your brain just needs time to think.I just wish that I can think of brilliant ideas quick,write quick(but CORRECTLY),and finish quick.I just received my English report writing graded assignment,and I got a pretty good 23/30.But Mr Teng said that he was generous with the marking and scoring.Yeah,that made me go rawr again.And there you go,RAWR.
I believe I can do well.I just need a whole lot more of ideas and colorful language in my mind.Not like I don't have a lot already,but I guess it isn't enough for my examination.My family often tell me,if only my skills in work were as good as my drawings.Yeah,I wish they were both as good too.
God,help me to do well in my exams tomorrow,and may there be no distractions and may I ESPECIALLY NOT FALL SICK.Thank you dear Lord for all you've blessed me with! Amen.
WAIT A MINUTE,WHY AM I BLOGGING?I should be MUGGING and studying now.Haha,I will pray lots and also study lots.God Bless people,wish me luck!
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 / 9:07 PM
I'm scared of you.Stop it.Stop trying.It's only going to drive me away.
Girly whirly.
Hellooooooooo!
Thank God I didn't sneeze today.When I do 70% of my energy is sucked from me.Energy that I NEED.
There's inter-class debates tomorrow!GAH,I haven't discussed much yet.But I shall have faith in God to help me amen? (=
Today was overall pretty brilliant,and after I finish my homework it is going to be great day!This morning was a little emotional for me,and it's the once in a blue moon moment where you catch me being girly.
On the ride to school I was listening to the radio (Chinese language) as usual with my dad,and for the April series they're interviewing people who are out on the streets homeless.Then after they played a really touching song lol.And yeah,I sorta shed several tears.Girly right.I can't imagine myself actually crying over a song.But I did.NEH.I'm not going to do that again.
Because I was super amazing to sleep from 6.30pm all the way to 5.30am this morning,I obviously kept awake in all the lessons today.That's good,about 12 hours.COOL.Never ever slept that much on a day where there was school on the next day.I gotta admit,I'm super amazing at times like this.
So so,Miss Tan (science,Biology) is pretty good at marking fast.We took the test yesterday,and today already she returned us the paper.I got 13/20 (that's a B3).Not good enough!Must around 15 then I'm contented ^^.The highest was 15.5/20,my Chinese class partner Jocelyn! Heh Heh,Jocelyn is known to be SMART ok.She can get like full marks for a certain question in Chinese comprehension by thinking of and writing around 10 words,and I write 40 words.LOL,like I'm wasting my own time huh.But yup,she's smart!
Mid years are coming on FRIDAY!RAWR.Lotsa mugging to do I guess? Haha.
God bless!

Katjes!
You Should Live in the Suburbs
Like many people, you like the city - but you don't want to live in it.
For you, the suburbs is the perfect compromise.
You can enjoy the city as much as you want, but you have a quiet, safe neighborhood to come home to.
I almost slept in science class.Yes Daniel,AGAIN.Someone help me keep awake please,shock me,electrify me,do SOMETHING.I just want to keep awake.
I've been feeling like a child again.No,I'm not being childish,I've just been eating and finding lots of things I used to like as a child.Loads of them.I wish they'd continue to exist forever,I still love them (: Music I loved as a child,sweets I loved as a child,games I loved as a child.
So I'm chewing something delightfully sweet now.Katjes Berry dessert.Berry creamy!Haha.
I'm a physically sick girl today.Flu and flu and flu.Sort of like a sneeze machine ehs.I have like a lot of friends asking me 'Eh Gin Ming you ok anot?' and LOTS of 'Bless You!'.Thanks people (: I'm alright now.
Today when I looked at myself in the mirror my reaction was:
'Aiyoh'.
Guess what I spotted?Two HUGE DARK eye backs underneath my eyes.If I was as white as david I'll look like a vampire.LOL,like Edward Cullen from the book 'Twilight'.I need lots of sleep huh,or some eye masks.I look weaker and more fragile with eyebacks,though I'm really not,I'm pretty strong.
Need more sleep!Everyday still seems happy by God's grace,and I really thank him for it.Today I was able to brighten someone's day a little,and as you know,every effort counts!Love is what keeps the world going and happy!And showing it is more than my pleasure.Reach out to the lost,the cold and unloved.They need to know that someone loves them to the maximum!Jesus Christ amen? I try to love em too,as since God loves them,why shouldn't I?I have no excuse to not love them.
I should take a quick nap now.Sleep is needed!Haha.
God bless your day people!Even when you don't think so,God really does love you a lot.

The Joy of the Lord!
Hello people!
Come to think of it,I have been pretty busy.Oh yeah,and this is my hamster (called Kit Kat) drinking water.My sis took it.
Oh yeah,regarding Max's tag,I didn't know certain stones have medicinal properties.I mean yeah,stones are usually just you know,STONES.Haha.I guess I can't underestimate stones then.
Ah yes,I had a great weekend.BBQ at Sembawang on Saturday was GREAT! So was morning and evening service the following day,Sunday.
Now that I have a phone,I will be able to catch more things and take more photos!Including the BBQ.We all utterly had lots and lots of fun on that day,and the water slide was terrific,even though it was just lots and lots of soap water on a long piece of plastic,firmly held down with some car tyres,and some strong big buckets(or cylinder)and mattresses at the end for cushioning.The people who were at the top of the slide made it even more fun by splashing huge buckets of water down people they want to sabotage.Positively sabotaged.Made it fun for us and the victims even.I gotta agree,sometimes,it's really great getting wet.
I have a video of Nicholas,Rachel(Dass),Adilia and Timothy sliding.Look for me if you wanna see them.It's a pity I didn't go on the slide though,I wasn't properly dressed.
I'll upload the photos once I'm able to get them into the computer.I can't find the cable or the plug or whatever it's called for it.Neh.Needa ask someone.
Yes yes,I felt loads and loads of love on Sunday morning.The sudden love of the Holy Spirit?I don't know,I just suddenly felt like I should show lots of love to my friends.I just turned to Hannah (who was crying because she was touched by God) and gave her a cuddle,and I said in a friendly tone 'I love ya!'.I didn't say it disgustingly though.Haha.The friend to friend way.Hannah was like (through her tears) 'Haha,I love you too'.Then I decided that I give Huimin a hug too.The result of lots of love people.Hah.
Evening service was great as well since Pastor Danny Han gave an absolutely BRILLIANT message on 'Passion for God in the Last Days'.He was really good,and after the sermon I really felt like having an even greater passion for God.At the song before we were dismissed,I really jumped for God and felt the joy of the Lord in me,how great that was.Amen.
God bless you people!Remember,God is always always there for you.
Saturday, April 19, 2008 / 12:15 AM
Just try saying that again.
Hello!
Forgive me,I'm seriously,seriously bored and I wanna kill time.So doing some quizzes shall do the trick.And these particular two are strangely,quite accurate.
What Your Front Door Says
You are fun, outgoing, and incredibly cheerful.
Life is an choose-your-own adventure for you.
And there's no way you're choosing the beaten path.
You have a warm personality. At times, you feel in love with the whole world.
Quite a few bits of this is true.The day dreaming part is ESPECIALLY TRUE.Haha.
Well well,I haven blogged for a few days since I got busy.And frankly speaking it's around 12.30 am+ now in the morning.Good Morning,Good Morning,to you and you and YOUUUUU!!!!Haha,I'm going a little musical,and as you can tell the Good Morning song's from the fantastic musical 'Singing in the rain'.I want the DVD lol.Those people in the past are ridiculously talented,really.
Something funny today happened,which I felt was really a pity as my mind didn't react fast enough to think of something ridiculously dumb.But the more I think of it,the funnier and stranger it seems.
For a HUGE birthday card project(as a surprise for a friend),I went down to popular bookstore to buy some items and stationery.And after a LONG LONG brainstorm in the store on what to buy in my budget I finally got my items,and took the walk back home.And while walking on the slope to Blk 5,around 4-6 meters away from me were two guys walking my direction,average looking,one had shoulder length hair and looked highly modern,another looked modern but with short and a little spiked waxed hair,wearing spectacles.
And the moment I saw the long haired one holding a cigarette my first reaction is to hold my breath.I don't like the smell of cigarettes obviously.But it wasn't JUST that,the two of them were smiling at me.Not lecherously,but more of friendly and fun.This clicked to me immediately:
'Oh BOY.'
And before I walked past them,I tilted my head to not face the smell of the cigarette.The climax of this entire thing is,the long haired guy while walking SUDDENLY held out his hand and said in a boyish tone 'HI!'.But at my surprisingly fast walking speed for a girl I practically ducked the hand from smashing my face and walked away.I pretty regretted it though,I should have walked slower and used the Tulasi style of greeting them back:
'YOOOOOOO!!!!!!'
That would have been funny and surprising for the guys,but you see,that's the main point of me wanting to say 'YOOOOOO!'.The two seemed quite young,in their early twenties maybe?They sounded younger than they seemed.But their voices didn't seem like a attitude problem nor a very rebellious type,but in a sense,it more of seemed to me like they're actually fun and friendly.But I know I can't be correct for sure.
I didn't know what got into them anyways,but all well.
THANK YOU JESUS!I wanna say that REALLY LOUD.

HELLO!!!!
I saw bestie today I saw bestie today I saw bestie today I saw bestie today!!!!
JOY CHUA I MISS YOU!When I saw her at the bus stop today I shouted 'JOY CHUA!!!!!!'And both of us were so shocked and happy that we just ran and hugged each other.I miss that girl.
The weather feels nice today!Today morning especially.I stretched my arms at the corridor during recess and waved them,breathed in deep.The air's a little misty,and the sunlight came in faded rays.Perfect,and cooling.It's these simple pleasures like enjoying nice weather that can make me happy,and I do thank God for it.
The skit went well,thank God that I didn't stammer.Haha.But really,for my skit to go well with my team mates forgetting some lines is really amazing.
Not much to post today.But I truly thank God for everything he's done for me today,it went great.It's surprisingly,a good Wednesday.Haha.
Amen.

checkmate.
Hello!
I don't need to mention how much I love checkered things,I use them quite a lot in my designs.Picture credits to http://angelreich.deviantart.com/.This artist's really good.
I said something SO random yesterday that it made Rachel Tan stare at me like I was insane.And what I said was:
'China people seemingly used to sleep on ceramic pillows way back in the past in TV dramas shown in Singapore.'
Heh.I said it at assembly yesterday after singing the school song,with no one talking or mentioning about TV dramas,China people,the past,sleeping,or ceramic pillows.I even I think it's random.But still it was an interesting topic to think about eh?I'm not sure whether China people really slept on ceramic pillows in the past,but whenever I see some of the dramas on TV featuring the past,some pillows sure seem like they're made of ceramic.
Randomness is amazingly amusing isn't it?That's why Hannah and I can have such amazingly weird random conversations,out of the box or in it.But I admit,sometimes being random truly is fun.
Good news!I got a 44/50 for my Chinese test!That's an 88% for the test.I'm happy about it,and I wanna thank God for it obviously,for always helping me do mostly well in my languages,and helping me catch up in my Mathematics.And too,it's about time I handed in my Chinese holiday homework in 2007,it's part of my CA marks in Chinese.Oh man,this is really one very badly procrastinated piece of work.Orh Hor ah ming...
Random thought number 2 today.For almost a year already,or come to think of it a year coming to two years there has been different people giving out fliers,but all with the same message.Wanting to buy a house SPECIFICALLY in my block.It's been going on ever since I was primary 6,12 years old,and the flier comes pretty regularly.And I'm going to be 14 this year.And the message picturing in my mind from the flier is:
'SELL YOUR HOUSE TO ME.'
That got me pretty annoyed,frankly speaking.And having to put up with it for more than a year really IS all the more annoying.I understand that they want a house,but since everyone isn't willing to sell for so long already,why so persistent?And I am definitely not wanting to sell the house.Neither is anyone in my family.
And when I got the flier today at my door again,I crushed it up and left it in the bin.And suddenly I got a snappy thought.Out of the random again.
The thought is pretty silly actually,but it's going to be delightfully hilarious for me and 'Malu' for the person passing out the fliers to each door,wanting to buy a house.And the thought is,paste a message on my door that says:
'Want to buy a house?Too bad,I'm not selling.'
OR,
'Not for sale.Especially not to you.THIS HOUSE IS MINE MINE MINE.'
The point is to make it sound stupid or childish.I don't need the message to sound mature,the point is to make the person malu.It'll be even more hilarious if the entire block did it.MALU to the max.
I've thought of taking the flier,enlarging it by a meter or two,and then sticking it next to the lifts.I know I'm not supposed to do so of course,it's probably illegal or something.But woah,if it really DOES happen,I will laugh insanely I tell you.Then next time the person comes to pass out fliers again,it's going to look like some super hilarious joke.Or else,write 'This block is not willing to sell any houses.When we want to,we'll tell you.'
I just love thinking and cooing up silly ideas.It's too fun.But not all of them are feasible,sadly.Thank you God,for letting me be happy everyday(:
Every child in Africa is yours.

Peanuts.NUTS.
You Are A Peanut
You are popular, even with people who tend to have picky taste.
Kids love you, as do dogs. From rednecks to snobs, most people have a place for you in their hearts.
As popular as you are, there are some people who can't be near you.
Don't take it too personally. There's just a few people you rub the wrong way.
In one of my crazy moods today I decided to take some funny quiz again.And yes,I don't really like peanuts.Pistachio is NICE.^^
Hello!
MONDAY IS OVER!So there shall not be any more Monday blues,seeing that teachers really make us dread Mondays.Triple period of almost EVERYTHING.Except I.H and recess.As usual I guess?At least Monday is over,heh.Head on strong at the rest of the week ah ming.
I felt ESPECIALLY weak and tired this morning somehow someway.The last time I felt like that was back in term one where I tried really hard to stay awake in Ms Ng's Physics and Chemistry class because of lack of sleep the night before.Wasn't just her class,there were I.H classes too,because they were all so early in the morning,I felt tired then.
So yup,for today it was Ms Tan's Biology class.Hey,I really really wanted to stay awake ok.But having eyelids which seemingly have iron attached on them,my eyes felt super duper heavy and kept closing despite my hard efforts trying to keep them open.I remember try to jerk and slap myself awake.Ouch,but it didn't work.So eventually I decided the least I could do while struggling to keep awake was to listen to what Ms Tan had to teach for the lesson.And I did.She talked a lot about the different types of osmosis.Pushing my hand I wrote them down.Good,at least now I have something to revise.Eh,I better get some good sleep today and be not sleepy tomorrow.Being sleepy in literature class will mean a struggle to not get scolded and to grab some ideas and revision for the upcoming literature test later.
I just received my math test results.Yes,THEY SUCKED LIKE CRAZY.But I managed to grip a few points though.I expected a 0.No really,I really mean that I expected a 0 for this paper.
But amazingly,I didn't feel sad.Though obviously I was disappointed at the scores,I knew that I would have done better since when the test was set I was still very very muddled about Factorisation,Expansion,and Simplification.And after quite a number of Mock exam papers based on them given to me by Miss Chan and with the help of Sophia and Zemaine,I got better at the topic.Thanks a lot people.I appreciate the help.And if I redone the paper,I would have gotten a whole lot of marks more.I would have passed with flying colors in fact.
So I didn't do very well for this test,it's going to pull down my overall mathematics marks insanely.So I'm going to try my utmost best in the Mid year exams!4 A1s,I hope.And you know the good thing?Jesus is faithful and always willing to help and bless!With his help and my effort,I'm sure I can still manage alright the examination.
Thank you Jesus (:

I got a phone!!!
Hello people!
I have officially got a phone firm and proper!It's functioning well and all...and it's sony ericsson.Obviously it looks good as well xD
And I have an amazing display picture!Heh,it's my own drawing.Alright,who wants my number ask me on msn.Joy Chua!I know you want it.Come online asap ok?I miss talking to you.YY you sure seem excited about it,haha.
Yeap,it was the Edge today,and I got into a on the spot inter-regional game on the spot with Rachel Dass and Nicholas.A feeding game.I got the job of the FEEDER!Haha,and I'm supposed to be blindfolded along with Rachel,who's the one that's supposed to be fed by me,with Nicholas guiding.And what are we feeding?Ice cream.At least it's not frozen mayonnaise *thinking of youth camp 2007*
And yes.It ended up a messy job,with me being too hurried and accidentally scooping extremely BIG scoops.Nic was like 'Relax!'.Heh.I the ice cream's too hard,that's why.I remember using a lot of force to scoop up some scoops.
In the end we ended it,and it was supposed to be a game to celebrate someone's birthday!So nice right they.But it was a fun game.^^
Then the message.It was interesting and good!It brought me to a new perspective,and I sure learnt a lot from the story where Jesus calmed the storm.From now on,I am going to try have much and BIG faith in the Lord!No matter what happens,even when the harshest storm comes.
Thank you Jesus,for letting me survive the day happy!Really,I thank God for making me happy and jumpy everyday.Without him and looking at my surroundings at weekdays(which are more than weekends),I would probably have been some moody lunatic that's an emotionally unstable idiot all the time.Oh my word ah ming being emo,can't imagine it.I'm too happy and positive because I have Jesus,and it's truly impossible for me to be emotionally unstable.
Remember people,JESUS LOVES YOU TO THE EXTREME MAX!That's a reason to be happy,and think of yourself to be the happiest person on earth.I feel like that all the time.
Jump for joy,Jesus is alive and loves you so much! (:

Laugh.
Hello!
I laughed SO HARD at this.Funny things make my day.
I got a phone!Or at least I think.Now all I need to do is figure out where to slot the SIMcard in.lol.
I'm not so phone smart,nor am I fast at texting,and nor am I good at using dictionary.Heh,I need to take sometime adjusting myself to the phone.
Tolley House did really well for the international friendship day dance!We got second place.Though I thought we really deserved first.^^ Haha,well done Tolley,be proud of yourself.
Recently I decided that I'd try listening to another band.So I pick the 'Jonas Brothers',I heard they're good from my friends.And they aren't wrong,they are really pretty good.I've heard 'The Academy is' as well.Not bad,Willian Beckett's voice is capable of going up and down,which is quite interesting in a sense.And yes,he's really skinny.REALLY REALLY SKINNY.
But they made a really cool music video.Check out the green Birthday cake somewhere at the start especially.That's really cool.
That's about it for today.God bless!

Keep your inner child alive.
Hello!
Well well,today's pretty jumpy and yet at the same time tiring and long.But overall,I survived the day happy like a ah ming should.^^
Must be Steven Curtis Chapman's song,'We are the Children of God' that got me drawing again.Some idea just twisted out and I'm happy with my work now.All it needs is a background and color BY ME.I drew a jumpy girl!But it's not me,haha.I'm a lot jumpier.WAY jumpier.
The theme,I have two.'Inner Child' is one,'Child of God' is another.Maybe I can figure out a way to combine both ^^.
But yes on the other hand,today I decided I'd talk about inner children.How nice were you to your inner child today?I'm nice to mine everyday,you can tell.
I see some people,way too stuffy and grown up.All day they nag about politics,work,and somehow,it seems like they forget how to have fun,how to be happy.Negative all the time,so upright,so frowny.No different from strangling your inner child.
Not just adults actually.Students do it too.Trying to act grown up,emotionally unstable,moody,sour.These are inner child killers.Going insanely emo is obviously a inner child killer since children do not slash themselves.The point of it,you're supposed to be happy positively.Looking brightly and jump for joy by the fact you're here on earth.
The sun's shining,let's go out and play.

oh yes,I do love you.
Hello!
The true meaning of Tao Pok? THIS >>>
Haha,it was taken at youth camp with some of my region's boys.Tao poking is now pretty common in my region,especially with Daniel and David.Haha.
When I said that I'd like to see how it feels to be tao poked,I was told that it's really horrible.Sometimes you can't even breathe,and start coughing and tearing.But I guess the guys are just too used to it huh.xD So I guess I'll never be tao poked,until my younger cousins request to play the game 'sandwich'.^^
Well then,today I'd like to say something that I've always been wanting to,and this time really out loud!I HAVE THE BEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD,AND I LOVE THEM A WHOLE STINKING LOT.
At least they're the best parents in the world to me.
I love my Dad.You know,it isn't easy for him to drive me to school every morning.It's like robbing him of sleep sometimes,and he works so hard for the family,so tired but so loving.And he could have just insisted that I'd go by myself by the public transport every morning,he has all the authority,every reason,but he didn't.He took time off his sleep to send me to school.Sometimes I see him so tired,and a little sick sometimes,and he is still willing.He asks me what time I slept the night before,and concerned about my sleep.Yeah,I do sleep very late sometimes because of a whole load of homework fluttered at me,and my eye backs really are huge.They're only shocking when I ask you to notice them though,other than that,they aren't something to notice much.
I love my mom too of course.I can't ever imagine myself like her.Waking up so early everyday,and sleeping so late.And for what?Waking me up and some early housework.And she spends sometime talking to us (My siblings and I),making sure our bond is still close.She does a lot of house work.And when I mean a lot I really do mean A LOT.Though I do help her sometimes.But overall,she still does A LOT.And she is willing to pay if I ever get braces.Which I most probably will,those expensive,disgusting tiny metal square things that straightens your teeth.I mean,come on,it's really tad expensive,around $2000 to $4000++ ehs.And I find it super irritating,paying so much for small,colorful metal square things on your teeth.And she's willing too.She cares for me a lot too,when I'm sick and stuff.
AH.I love them a whole load.And Brilliant Parents deserve brilliant children.Fine,maybe I'm not that Brilliant,but still,I gotta try being a good daughter,and try scoring my ultimate best in the MYEs (Mid-Year-Examination).
I thank you God,for blessing me with such amazing parents.
The last day of my brother's comfort!See ya soon bro,and serve well in N.S!

FLY!FLY!FLY!
What Your City Walk Means
You are unique and philosophical. You have your own way of living life, and you relish your independence.
You are generally confident and friendly with strangers. You are well mannered and sociable.
Money is not important to you at all. In fact, you tend to reject material concerns.
You are curious about ideas. If you had the means, you'd like to explore the whole world.
Happy little city walk ehs?Haha.After school,I admit that I got bored again.
Hello!
Today has been good,despite the fact that I've been in school.I'm really happy when dismissal comes,always (:
I remembered something that I should be happy about today...Oh yes.My group got the highest along with Sophia's group for our presentation in Project work.And Mr Goh seemed like he think that we'll do pretty badly for our presentation today,seeing the tone that he talked to my group in last week.But yes we proved him wrong.9/10 for our presentation.I have rushing good work skills up my sleeves.Heh heh,I'm kidding.It's just effort,what else can I say?
I thank God once again for keeping me awake in school.It's been difficult of course,I've been yawning and yawning until tears are dripping from my eyes and I looks so sickly.It only happens in school though,surprisingly.Not anywhere else.Rise and shine ah ming,you have to tah han this for a few more years to come!
It's nice talking to Yvonne yesterday,she gave really really good advice for life at my age,for my Christian life too.Thank you Yvonne!Parlay.Heh heh.
Nothing much to talk about,so let's just enjoy the delightfully breezy weather,and think of all the beautiful blessings God has blessed you with,no matter how small,they make a impact on your life (:
Monday, April 7, 2008 / 3:42 PM
We are!
Hey people!
I hate Mondays!AH.
Well,today's post is about yesterday and our youth activity on Saturday.Which very little amount of people showed up,*pouts*.
Heh heh,the activity was still fun though.We played captain's ball,BUT ALAS,with a coconut as a ball.And me as the goalie.I play best as a goalie,I can't throw nor catch properly in the field.Especially not a coconut.Haha.
My team had a disadvantage.Since we used benches directly opposite each other for goals,My team had a tree in front of the goalie.Making it difficult for us to score.But it's alright,we could still score (:
Haha,but obviously the coconut can't withstand so much flying about,hitting the ground.It broke.And we broke two coconuts before we decided to use Matthew's soccer ball to play.
Next game is pretty interesting,garbage bag jumping.But the garbage bag was to short xD.But ah,who cares really,we just played.Nic was the winner!Haha.
Lastly,we had soccer.The second time in my life I played soccer,and dehydrating as usual,but moreover,still fun.And soon after,we met Grace and David that came after all the games.Haha,Jie Jie Grace and uncle David,you all very early ahs?Hehe.So decided for the last game of the day,climbing the pyramid.
Met region 9/10 on the way to lunch at Mcdonalds.They had their regional games too (: After lunch,all of us headed down to The Edge,except a few who had something on.And there at edge,had something brilliant for us(see last post).
Thanks to all those who supported the games! (:

Out of that coffin you go!
Hello people!
A splendiferous testimony and sharing today!Haha.
I really thank God for today,the sermon is by all means BRILLIANT AND GOOD.I thought what Pastor Jeremy Seaward talked about today is really very true,about being trapped inside a coffin,dead.
In Luke Chapter 7:11,it talks about Jesus raising a Widow's one and only son which was dead.Jesus was walking with his disciples to a city gate,where they were carrying the son of the widow's dead body out,weeping and mourning for him.But then Jesus showed compassion.Jesus told the widow :'Don't cry'.And he reached out to the coffin and asked the body of her son to arise.And immediately,the young boy,once dead rose from the coffin and started talking.Everyone there was scared of course,except Jesus.But of course,the boy's alive,and they all were glorifying Jesus (: Amen.
But yes,Pastor Jeremy talked on the point that I've never thought of,of the picture of us like this with God.
You see,we are all like the dead boy in the coffin,without Christ.No matter how much we claim ourselves to be Christians or good,without Christ,and we meddle with sin,we are still,DEAD.No different from just a dead person walking.
But Jesus comes,he reaches out to you,asks you to arise form the coffin.And there,we make a decision.Whether we choose to listen to him arise, or not listen and not arise.Arise,meaning choosing to accept him and leave your sinful ways,being alive.Not arise,meaning choosing to continue our sinful ways and staying in the coffin,dead.
And as you all know,for the wages of sin is death.But Jesus came to restore connection for us with our most MIGHTY AND LOVING FATHER in heaven,that we can now be once again be with God,and not separated.
Are we dead inside?What do you choose?Arise,or not?
But one more thing to keep in mind.Yes,you might want to arise.But remember,arise NOT JUST because you don't want to be dead.Of course we want to be alive.But the point is,don't do it because you HAVE to,to prevent yourself from dying.Do it because you want to,and because you love God.
Also,another point Pastor Jeremy made was that ONLY JESUS among his disciples showed compassion upon the widow and the boy.Are we like the disciples who didn't bother and see the dead continue being dead?Or are we like Jesus,who showed compassion and saved the dead.
Today when there was a alter call for going back to God and arising from our *coffins* and be truly alive again,I went for it.I know there are still things in my life that are still sinful.I know that somehow,I'm sorta dead too.How I'm like the disciples,to continue seeing some of my friends continue being dead spiritually.And how I am also sinful in some of my habits,God has shown me.And I realized.I really,well,am dead.
I didn't cry.But still God is truly love.I was really touched,but I just didn't cry.He told me,how he's not angry at me,but all the more he loves me really so much.And I'm sure,he forgived me.That I am truly grateful,and love him.
And then I talked to God about my sinful ways.Yes,sin is death in disguise.Sin might seem alright,comfortable,but it still leads to death.I remember God asking me 'Are you truly willing to leave your sinful ways and follow me out of love?Or are you just doing it because you want to be alive,because you HAVE to?'.
And after thinking long about it,from deep down in my heart,I replied him 'Yes,I am truly willing to leave my old ways for you God.'But yes,I can't keep from sin alone.I will ask and seek God for help.Sure I will slip once in awhile,I'm not perfect.But with God's help,surely I can do according to his will.
Too,I'm sure God will help me with communication with my friends about the gospel.I've been rejected,yes.Many many many times.But one day I'm sure I can succeed!Nothing is too difficult for my God,he is great and almighty.
He held me today,on my left.My right side,hand and leg was cold and trembling,but my left side,hand and leg was warm,and as still as a stone.Oh,I really want to just really love him and do what he wants me to,and live according to his will.There was so much love in me later on,I just want to go about giving hugs.And now at home,I'm hugging a teddy bear that I did when I was really really young,it's about 3-5 years older than me I think.
God I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU.Thank you,for making me alive again.

Soaked and drenched ah ming.
What Your Little Black Dress Says About You
You are lively and outgoing. You are naturally friendly.
You enjoy meeting new people and making new connections.
Your style is whimsical and unique. You're good at putting together interesting outfits.
If you were a shoe, you would be: High heeled boots
I was thinking about posting that the rain is friendly today while watching it from my school bus stop.UNTIL,I got unto the bus and like as if there was a flood draining down above the skies,there were like loads and gallons of rainwater that came falling insanely from the grey sky.Goodness,it could have killed me.But yeah,it was fun.
And of course I got seriously drenched.And I mean pinafore,hair,skin,file,bag.All of it was wet.And basically meaning ah ming is badly drenched.But I couldn't stop laughing when I was walking pass the road.It's flooding there and around ankle high. And I was like 'Oh this is just TERRIFIC'.I didn't mean it sarcastically.I really meant it.Rain from the sky I tell you,IS TERRIFIC.I just strangely like wet weathers.Haha.
I just went through my mom's make up segment of her wardrobe.No I wasn't playing with the irritating mixture.I was examining them out of pure boredom.And I admit to frowning at some of them,and some made me sneeze too.Oh and one thing,Lipstick sorta has a funny smell to it.
Goodness,how do women survive with this on their face.But I know I'll probably have to put it too on my wedding day,or probably when I grow a little older.I tried putting make-up on during the make-up session at the post activity,and I really hated the foundation.I did it too for the SYF photo taking.ARGH.Foundation,powder,eyeliner,and eye shadow,lipstick and stuff.OH ME WORD.I really wonder how I actually survived then.And the sponge thing you use to put foundation on,I hate the feeling.Not that I think make up should be banned,I just don't like make up,and I'm not going to destroy every make up shop in town.It's just me.The most feminine thing I'm ever willing to do is wear a mini skirt and wear 2-3 inch heels,though I'd rather choose not to.That's it.
But yes,I know I would be wearing a dress anytime soon.Haha,then you people can't tell that it's me anymore,I wear jeans so often.Though I did wear a dress around 8-10 years ago.Hah,I sound so old!When I was a little child of 6 years old and below maybe.
FRIDAY TOMORROW!I look forward to a great rest on the weekends (:
Wednesday, April 2, 2008 / 6:30 PM
Happy and bouncy.
Hello people!
Picture credits to http://lovelybat.deviantart.com/
I'm going jumpy again.Because I have officially finished my coursework report!YES YES YES.The report has taken me weeks coming to almost a month of hard work,design,and sleeping late to finish.Now that it's done I have removed a stone from the top of my head and can jump higher in bounciness ^^
Strangely,my muscles are getting in shape.Though it is a little fat still.But overall,there's quite a muscular shape to it and it feels hard when I contract.I'm not used to the feeling of having muscles,but all well,there they are.
My NAPFA tests up next week!I can score right for almost everything,except for inclined pull ups.My strength isn't the problem actually.I can hold up myself and down properly.The problem for me doing inclined pull ups are really strange actually.It's due to how I'm supposed to grip the pole and up myself up.It hurts my hands a lot,and presses my flesh tightly there,and all it does is get tighter and tighter.And usually after 7-12 pull ups I give up.The pinching pain is just too much ehs.
Well,for today's post I want to say something important.Don't discriminate people and truly (as in really really) hurting their feelings on purpose for your own laughs TOO MUCH.Especially when you've already been told.I hate it when people do that,makes me feel like screaming straight in their face 'SHUT UP'.
I say,it's just so mean to do so,and detested.Some think it's cool,funny,or even something to make yourselves more popular.Eh,NO,it's NOT?It's sucky to do so.It's a sucky,annoying,and degrading behavior.And slowly it makes you stupid in the head.
I scold people for their own good when they are doing something really dumb.But seriously,so what if the person's fat?So what if the person makes a few mistakes now and then?Why suck up all their ugly points and form them into one whole bob of an ugly character?Some people have their really nice sides,but yet JUST because you don't like them,you just keep hurting their feelings.
It doesn't make you any different from a tactless brainer.So do think before doing anything.Some people can turn out really nice,if you make the effort to be their friend (:

Roses for insanes.
Hello!
HAHA.This is the dish I cooked for my Home Economics Practical test,looks pretty interesting ehs?Simple though.The menu card's amazing though,loads and loads of effort put in by me,and staying up late just to finish it up,make it stand and all that.It turned out well,at least.
However,I admit one thing...the lettuce at the side is totally,completely RAW.So yes if eaten I guess the person would have puked on the lettuce.We just added it last minute to make it seem healthier xD oops.Thank goodness we aren't judged on tasting for that.We're judged on appearance and healthiness of the dish.
Anyways I had fun,so I look forward to the next time I lay my hands on cooking equipment in the cookery!
I wanna cut my hair.I'm bored of letting it be,its so LONG.Though Rachel Tan gives me a REALLY hard smack on the shoulder whenever I mention of cutting my hair.She likes my hair the way it is,being the fact that it's in such a funny and unique shape.It sorta bends downwards and then curves in all directions at the tips.It's annoying when my fringe curls upwards too.It looks good when it's a little straight down.
Well my hair makes decisions too.It can decide to look good on one day,bad on another.
Haha,enough of hair.I cut it and that's all.
Oh yes,I'm a Panda now.My eye backs are getting super obvious,and somehow it's difficult to get rid of them.The fact that I have bad eye backs makes me even more tired.But you know,eye backs are an very interesting physical form to study.
Well then,first of all,skin there is a little wrinkled,depending on how bad they are.Next,the eye back skin is a lot stretchier,and it's amazing how they stay so dark.Like a bruise,and like how vampires would look like.Also,skin there is extremely thin and feels rather pathetic,but yet unbreakable.
