Little accidents.
Hello people!
My right eye hurts today.And ANOTHER birthday's coming uppy!So another gift xDAnd before I forget....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL DASS!!!!!!!Have a blessed Birthday,God loves you,and I love ya loads too!(:
Anyways,in a few hours time I'm leaving the house with my sister to my parent's area again,my sis is going off to Sydney for the Hillsong Conference,for around 2 weeks.Going to be alone again!Haha...with my Grandma at least.She's going with a few church people,and thus my parents and I and a few others are going to send them off.At terminal 3!Going to take loads of pictures today,uploading them tomorrow!
But yup yup,there shouldn't be anymore Monday blues since the timetable has officially made Monday a more slack day,compared to last term where I have triple periods of almost everything.Tomorrow for Tuesday is then a more hardworking day,we have triple periods of math and Home econs,with P.W(NOOOO),and fencing.I might not look forward so much to this week's fencing since I might have a temporary coach who will rotate with Wei Wen every week.And I've been under that temporary coach before,he's SO BORING.Wei Wen's a good coach cos he makes us laugh,and does teach us very affective skills.Like the tactics session we had with him last week.That was a really good training session.
Well well,my time plan tomorrow evening after fencing would be either...
1.Go to the CCK building and pack up the avians(or however you spell that)in sound ministry for the corporate morning service this week.
2.Ask my parents whether they can take me to BTP's popular,and get the book 'Eclipse' and all the stuff I need for ________'s birthday.
Yup yup.I'll inform who I needa inform when I make up my mind on where to go.Hmm,MAYBE BOTH!LOL...
Today we did a science experiment,and I created three little accidents.
1.I touched a glass rod of which just came from being held above a switched on bunsen burner with ethanol on it.Finger was burning later on.
2.Broke the glass rod which was being held over the bunsen burner with ethanol.my excuse was the bunsen burner was the cause of it.I'm not lying,the bunsen burner caused the glass rod to have very nice cracks.
3.While walking I knocked over a rubbish bin full of glass and all sorts of rubbish you can find in a Chemistry Lab.Almost got a tongue lashing from the Lab auntie,but she then realized that it was just the rubbish bin so she didn't care so much.
Well done ah ming clumsy fingers.Be careful next time!xD
And some pretty pictures again!



Cya'all people,have a great week and God bless!

Mingers.
Hello people!
Today I felt REALLY BLESSED!But yeah I haven't updated for a few days due to sleeping too much on Friday and busy-ness on the weekends.So so I'm gonna update on all these few days.About 19 or less pictures in total.
I don't have much to talk about on Friday except that once I came home,bathed,watched half a dvd show and and went to sleep...until 7.39.And Net's at 7.40.Imagine how I rushed lol!But yeah,net was good,Jason Oon taught.Oh yeah,HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERINA!I love ya loads,and I wanna let you know that you're special!
Yup yup,Saturday came,and I was robbed of my sleep for a moment there.Thanks to pet-a-thon.It wasn't THAT fun,but I won't say it's that bad either.So after,I got home,changed and met uppy with Nicolette to go to westmall.
We didn't have much of any idea what to do really.So I decided that the first most interesting place that we should go would be popular book and stationery stall. And going out with Nicolette will always mean that Nicolette WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS spot something SUPER interesting.And what did she spot this time?
A HUGE edition of Captain Underpants story book.And we're both 14 years old.BUT WHO CARES,we took the book down anyways and read the whole of it.It's thick and big alright,and yeap,heavy too.But we stood there reading the the book all the time,laughing and commenting how witty and funny the book is.
After that,both of us got our own little snacks,I got my all time favorite tu-tu kuehs and Nicolette got a bubble tea with peppermint contents(:...so after holding the book for a ridiculously long time we went to mos burger and sat there and talked.We do love talking yes?

Met Charis,Caleb and Qian Hui later on and we all went to edge together by the church bus(after a really long time of not taking the church bus!Haha)And so,caught some lovely sights on the way.


The sky's so PRETTY.God's really so creative!
Service was good,I liked the Buzz Light year analogy that Pastor Jeremy gave.Haha,I'll elaborate on it tomorrow(:But overall,I met God that night and it felt so good(:
The night was ended off with dinner at 'Buckaroo' to celebrate Eric Loh's birthday.People present:Eric,Angeline,Nigel,Nigel's girlfriend,Joash,Pamela,Caleb,Bro Martin,Sis Karen,Dillen(or is it Dillon?),Deisha,Shannon,Callista and I.



Deisha and Joash.So cute right?Haha.

Oo-la-la 'Buckaroo' is sure an expensive eating place,$3.20 for drinks.And by the way,these drinks aren't like some 'Super mango mix durian smoothie' or something like that,but normal everyday drinks,like 100 plus,root beer and stuff.However,plain water's free so we all drank plain water except a few who ordered Root beer and a fruit punch.

This is ONE AMAZING DISH.Onion rings,the first starter food I saw on the table.Creative ain't it?I was like 'WOAH' when the waiter first came to my table with it.But THERE'S REALLY ONIONS in them.It's nice though (:

The SUPER HUGE pork ribs that Joash,Pamela,Caleb and I shared.I finally understand why Buckaroo is so expensive now.The food's good,and they come in HUMONGOUS portions.My my.

Time for MY main course.A huge bowl of lasagna,which I loved because it was so chewy with cheese!And I love cheese.I could finish 3/4 of it(surprisingly,I thought I'd be full by the time I reached half)and thank goodness there's Caleb and Joash to help me finish up.They didn't mind,being guys they do have bigger appetites and the food is good.Thank you so much guys!
After the food we went out to have some fresh air before coming back to wish Eric happy birthday with a nice chocolate cake.

And happy birthday to Eric!I'm glad he liked the cake.And of course,thank the very friendly waiters who helped refrigerate the cake and also sang the birthday song to Eric.

The cake!Looks pretty good huh?

Nigel suggested that I'd take this because when he saw me taking the picture of the cake he was like 'Eh don't need to take the cake must take the birthday boy better,since it's his birthday.'So yup I took Angeline and Eric (they're a couple btw).Aww,so sweet ain't they.
And yes,I had to eat the cake,since they already sliced it for me.I was REALLY filled then,but ah wells,I took it in anyways.But it's alright,the cake was really nice!(:
Bro Martin and his family sent me home later on,TO MY ESTATE.Very nice of them right!I was really thankful to him and his family who offered to send me all the way home.Usually some people just send me to like the closest MRT station,bus stop or stuff...so to have a ride all the way to my doorstep would be really nice!Thank you all so much!
This morning,woke up early whirly for Sound duty.I had other plans at first but they got canceled in the end.So sound ministry it is.Sound was alright today in the morning,I could slack a little bit since Sis Wendy asked me to pass my walkie talkie to Bro Roy instead.Usually I need to be VERY attentive to the walkie talkie in case the video people need anything from us sound ministry people.I'm going to miss Bro Roy's 'Strategy for living' lessons!Last lesson with him today.
Afternoon outreach was a GREAT SUCESS!!!!! It was really by God's grace,I prayed with a lot of passion and faith when Jidi asked me to pray for the media team (sound,GP) and listed out all the problems that the sound crew and GP had and really prayed against all those problems.Looky then,today's afternoon outreach was a lot better than the last 3 weeks!Accept for very very little flicks.I did keep my eyes peeled today.Praise the Lord!
Next week's gonna be a rush since service is at expo hall 2 instead of CCK,so region 2 and everyone on duty has to rush insanely back to CCK to prepare for afternoon outreach.But yeap,PRAISE THE LORD!
Birthday gifts to be issued today to Jerina and Rachel Dass.Rachel was a litte uncomfortable waiting for her gift since I keep asking her to close her eyes whenever I wanted someone to write a nice message for her.But I really put in a lot of effort into her gift as I wrote and designed around 8-10 pages of A5 paper,and every page had an encouragement or something to smile about.The card showed a lot of love.Or should I say,BOOKLET.I handed it to her saying 'Happy birthday love!' in the friendship way (:
After she finished reading the card,her reaction was A LOT more than I expected.I expected maybe a 'Thank you,it's really nice of you!' but NOPE,she couldn't stop saying 'I love you!','Thank you so much!','I love you Gin Ming!','This is the best and most awesome card I've ever received!'.And yeah,what's more,it comes with hugs!^^...I didn't know my gift was THAT impacting,but I'm really glad she loved it,and I'm sure it would be a blessing unto her(: Recently for all my gifts I want to bring across this at least:
God loves you.We love you.I love you.I gave Jerina a photoframe of lots of tiny and meaningful messages written by the most of us.She didn't open the gift infront of me so I don't know what she thinks of it yet,but when I handed her the gift I said:
'JERINAAAAAA!Hey this is your gift for your birthday,happy birthday to you and I want to let you know that I really think you're special,and I love you a lot!Happy Birthday!'
I practically jumped infront of her and THEN yelled 'JERINAAAAA!!!' Shows how high I am.But yea we're going into a series of blessing and the speakers who spoke about blessings have all touched deep into my heart and pulled out the part of me that LOVES to bless,and made it grow stronger.So I've decided to bless with all I can.First up,I'm going to make it a habit to tell my parents that I love them every night before they go to sleep or at least once a day.I hope they realize that I really mean it when I say 'I love you',though there are some other children that just say 'I love you' and don't mean anything much,but when I say it,99 percent of the time I REALLY MEAN I LOVE YOU.
Dinner,and I met Sis Jane from Region 9/10 and had a nice talk with her about ministries and lots of other meaningful stuff.Another blessing for the day amen?(:
I shall be off to sleep soon!Haha,God bless you all people.

Tired....and glorifying.

Hello loves!
It's cool having to see a stall that has your name.Ok this isn't my exact real name,but my 'Gin Ming's 'Ming' is this one.
Anyways....
Yup,God has once again blessed today.Though I am physically drained due to fencing training.Haha.A few things to thank God for:
~I'm made Captain of the Sec 2 Epee team.
~ I learnt A LOT from Coach Wei Wen's tactic fencing session today.
~I won 2 bouts!(:
Amen right?I really thank God for everything really,I LOVE HIM!All the work,the fencing,the exercises,the bruises,I really think it's worth it.I feel like I've improved.Oh yeah,Nicole take care,remember to bring your suit the next time!(:
It's really annoying to take the bus home after fencing training.First of all,all the stuff you have to carry back,they're really heavy!Secondly,the bus is super crowded since fencing ends late,and the buses are usually really crowded at that timing.Therefore with huge and heavy things to carry,you board the crowded bus and have to really try and keep your balance.
Thirdly,getting stares since you're holding a blade.Really,a girl in polka dots,with a huge bag full of fencing equipment,and a BLADE.Very funny right.What makes it worse is that my hair is all over (thanks to the mask that I pull my head out off after every bout).Nanyang girls REALLY STARE,haha.And finally,SQUEEZING out of the CROWDED bus.Doesn't feel nice to keep on saying 'excuse me' and have your huge bag push though everyone.Which is why,get as close to the bus exit as possible when you board the bus.And try your best to not have your bag slam into someone.
So tired after I got home,having to carry your huge bag all the way back home,and when I did get home and got ready to bathe,a huge red patch was at my right shoulder due to carrying the fencing bag.Ouch.And the hit dawn delivered to my right arm in fencing has left a bruise(it's ok though (:,I've had worse experiences),double ouch.
After I bathed,I sunk into my grandmother's bed(it's the closest one) and just stayed still there for several minutes.Later on after I decided that I had have enough of lying there,I stretched and wriggled all my exhausted little toes(yeah,toes can be exhausted too)and went for dinner.And here I am,blogging now.(:
Over all I really thank God for blessing today!Praise him forever more,and I'm sure he'll bless tomorrow as well!
Amen.

Steph the Donut.
Hello!
Going to spam today's post with pictures.Learning Journey today,and it's off to the Bukit Merah hawker center we go!
So started off with being in school.Listened to 'Cinderella' by Steven Curtis Chapman 1/4 of the trip.Heh heh.
So on the way there on the bus...


Iggy,Nicole and Steph.

The morning sun is BEAUTIFUL. (:

Haha,so as we got there we were allowed to get some breakfast from Mcdonalds for 1/2 an hour.And it was time to secretly take pictures.Victim selected,STEPHANIE.

Such a pity that she covered her face.I'm SUPER tempted to put up a photo of her REAL face ALONE,but I'm super sure she'd kill me.So yeah I'm gonna be nice this time...but on my birthday,I'm going to show it!WHAHAHAHAHA.

.jpg)
The SUPER DUPER nice auntie we managed to interview for the project.The dumplings her store sells are really nice,we ordered 5 take-aways!Go visit sometime,bet you'll like it too!She's also really friendly(:

The very hardworking Sophia and Cheng Siew.This two are super quick note takers,and they took notes for me while I interviewed all I could from the Auntie.Thanks guys!

My voice recorders and source of joy in the team.Ok luh,everyone in my team is a source of joy!Nicole,Stephanie,and Rachel Tan.

My team!But without me in the picture despite being group leader xD
.jpg)
A very happy Nicole smiling at the camera,the rest...

My favorite picture of the day!The only picture where you'll see me in it.Me,Sophia,Cheng Siew,Nicole and Stephanie refusing to look at the camera.As you all can see,I'm poking Steph's head.^^


Mr Teng the allowed us to go to KFC and take a break while waiting for the bus to come pick us back to school.And in the second picture there you have Cheng Siew,Nicole and Stephanie(ONCE AGAIN,refusing to look at the camera)
Alas,we went back to school and did all our discussions,surveys and blah.But time went pretty fast,though YES,I did get bored in between.It's alright,I really appreciate you team!Love ya guys (:
At the school bus stop,I saw some pretty clouds again.

So Nicolette,Nicole and I went off to BTP to have lunch and buy stuff from popular.I need to make ______'s gift.Haha,I'll keep it a surprise!But yup,I enjoyed myself today.Thanks!And Thank God especially for blessing it.Really,God loves to bless!

Aren't you just so glad that God created the Sun?How it keeps us warm and alive,but yet also such beauty comes from it.
Amen,PRAISE THE LORD!

And she'll be gone.
Hello!
Well well,for the recent duty roster for sound ministry,I got a certain message to me.
Hi Ren Ming,
Welcome on board the Sound Ministry. You are encouraged to observe sound every sunday's morning services and afternoon outreaches. Please feel free to tell boss Martin if you could not attend.Haha,Hui Juan wrote this in the email.Thanks,I do love the sound ministry.
So so,second day of school,three more to go!But tomorrow's learning journey,so not exactly studying huh...make it two days!Though the Pet-A-Ton(Thon?) is still going to be compulsory for me to go to on Saturday.Dang,from 8am-12.30pm,I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING!My 'wake-up-late' day is on Saturday since I wake up early on Sundays to go Church for duty.Though I enjoy them.(:
So anyways,I started to dread today at first especially since it's such a LONG day,with 3 periods of math,3 periods of Home Economics,a Common test,and PROJECTWORK.Oh Boy.But God has truly blessed today again!Really,God NEVER FAILS,and whenever I ask him to bless the next day every night,he really does!
I woke up early,and a lot less tired than last term,where I would sleep and doze off on the car ride to school.Now I wake up and practically spring out of bed,all alert. And that happened today morning,I'm glad!
Next up,since my original math teacher is leaving,I get a new math teacher.OH MY WORD,HE'S SO SOFT!He has quite a nasal voice,and he talks really nicely and gently.Not that that's bad,but somehow,his authority of a teacher just doesn't appear so strong to me.No worries,we didn't cause a havoc in class,we were pretty good.But I thank God for one thing,he can teach,and with his personality I should have no problem studying without fear.Amen.
Home Economics class next.Despite 3 periods and me forgetting to bring my workbooks and file,the teacher didn't require the use of workbooks or file today!And we did a recap on nutrients and all that,what I enjoy about HE,the nutrient stuff.And the 3 periods passed so quickly,I enjoyed my H.E lesson!
Common test.English composition personal recount of a natural disaster and how you practiced resilience.Didn't go so badly,I had ideas!Though more time would have been good...but praise the Lord anyways!(:
Projectwork.The super miracle was,the teacher was 30 minutes LATE!So had a lot of free time...haha.AMEN!!!And Chinese class Mr Lee had a medical appointment thus equals to LOADS OF FREE TIME!But had a worksheet to do,but it was rather easy so I finished it in around 15 minutes (:
Fencing next,and thanks Nicole,for lending me your P.E shirt!I really loved today's session,Wei Wen was coaching and we all did loads of tiring and weird things,though it trains us superbly.Muscles very much involved,as well as brain thinking.I think I have stronger muscles now though.Haha.
Yes,one funny thing that happened today was glove fencing with priority.So I paired up with Nicole.Rules go like this...
The person with priority has only a maximum of 3 steps(forward the opponent) to move to hit his opponent.His opponent stops moving(backwards) when the person with priority stops to attack.Priority of the person exchanges after attack is done,meaning once attack is done the priority changes immediately,even if 3 steps aren't taken yet.When someone successfully hits his opponent he scores a point and is winner of that round,and his opponent who lost now has the priority to start the next match.
And yes,coach wanted us to pair by pair come up and 'glove fence'.My match with Nicole was...FUNNY.That girl ah,I hit her already she by accident hit back...and the glove missed my head...but her KNUCKLES DIDN'T.Why it landed on my head was partially my fault too since I leaned forward too much to hit her.Total it up and make it simple,she basically accidentally punched my head.Haha,it's ok Nicole,I forgive you.I'm glad I glove fenced you anyways,it was fun!Tiring experience though...
So yup,thank God for today!I praise Jesus forever more.
I love the song 'Cinderella' by Steven Curtis Chapman.It's so beautiful.
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
Monday, June 23, 2008 / 6:44 PM
Donuts vs World Domination.
Hiya people!
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!! RAWR.
Actually it's really not THAT bad,but I shall talk about it later,alrighty?Haha.
Anyways,let's start of with Saturday...SULINN'S WEDDING!Sulinn looked absolutely beautiful,her dress was really pretty!Though it was REALLY long and the bridesmaid had to keep holding up her dress so so could walk properly without her dress sweeping the floor...but yeah,she and Phinehas(Phin for short)would really be a cute and great couple together!May God bless their marriage really,I'm once again really happy for them!

Haha this was when Sis Sandy and her interpreter giving a message of LOOOVVEEE.

And their communion together...
Alright I don't blame you guys at all if you can't see anything except people.We arrived late so we all sat at the back,and thus my zoom-less phone camera cannot take any close-up shots...don't worry,I'll try to kop from someone who was at the wedding of the nicer close up shots! Haha...
And I'm NOT showing you what I wore.WHAHAHAHAHA *evil grins*...nothing about it anyways,it's casual/formal wear.BACK TO CASUAL ALL THE WAY THIS WEEK!Enough of formal clothes.Wearing them twice a month is already a record!XD But my sis wore a really pretty and elegant black dress,so pretty luh.But she had to change at the edge,there's NO WAY she's going to wear a dress for the whole day.Hohoho.
I really thought Pastor Jeremy's message on 'GROW' was really good.About how we can grow spiritually,and how we may try to cover up,but still,GOD KNOWS!Yup,never hide anything from God,show him what you're going through.He will help!And he will still love you.Amen?
So after that it was our Region's duty for cleaning up the edge.So I swept the floor (though only very briefly since it was so crowded and nearly impossible to sweep the floor properly)and helped a little bit with pushing the vacuum cleaner around,as well as putting the trash bag in the big bin.All wells,had a great time anyways,despite being in rather formal attire.
Dinner later with the youths,but I was with Rachel Dass,Nic and Brian only.Talked about coiling wires and all the media ministries,funny.Come to think of it I really love my ministry.And I love doing my ministry in evening service most!Somehow I enjoy doing duty for evenings.But I enjoy the afternoon and mornings too of course (: I wonder if I'm going to be on duty for the combined service,I wanna try.But it's alright if not,I'm sure I'll get my chance someday (:
Sunday.Woke up a little late so late by a few minutes for duty.Oops.All well,I do praise God for the really rainy weather,it felt refreshing to walk out of the house with a slight drizzle from the clouds.Thank God the cab came fast to bring me quick quicky to church.Service was well in the morning,though some talking was done over the walkie-talkie,and something was said that I was able to be seen through the camera doing something...though I didn't know what,I was either smiling at my neighbors or asking Hui Juan or Bro Martin something.Ah,all wells.
Afternoon outreach was an A LOT better success than the previous two weeks!Finally the mikes didn't flick so much and I gotta say,REGION 3 was SUPERB!The acting of crying was really great,I wanted to praise the guy who acted as the son,he did a really really great job!Though I didn't get the chance,they all left so early...Praise the Lord once again!Amen (:
Evening service was good,Bro Paul Lim came ALL the way from the Region 3 area to be live at CCK and he shared a great message of being a blessing to others.I must bless!
Dinner with Jocelyn,Esther Foong,Joy,Matthew,Nic and Gabriel.Had a VERY FILLING meal.And a lot of moaning from Nic and I that school's starting the next day.More of complaints actually.But yea,nothing we can do about it yet.So the other older youths went to watch a movie,me and Nic went home...and there,I spend packing my stuff for the next day!
ALRIGHT.I was super duper high today.Start of school luh,whadaya expect.Haha.After the long break going back to school seems like such a chore,but now that it's started I feel so normal school day again.I have my amazing friends whom I love dearly,and I look forward to that instead (: I love ya guys,and one more thing,HELLO RACHEL MING,WE'RE PARTNERS FOR THIS TERM AGAIN!LOL.
But yeah,overall school isn't so bad today,I just hope tomorrow will go well,it's gonna be a LONG day.Maths 1 and a 1/2 hour some more.Can faint luh!But yeah,I gotta finish my claymation background by today.Oh yeah,KFC with Nicole,Iggy,Nicolette,Pamela,and Rebekah today.Had a SUPERB time talking!Thanks for everything guys,I look forward to the time we spend together out of school once again!
Just a few pictures of the beauty of God again (:



I like this one ESPECIALLY!Such a lovely shade of orange.The three pictures above were all taken on the way to Net on Friday.

This one was taken today.Ain't it pretty?
God bless ya all!
Friday, June 20, 2008 / 12:21 PM
a ah ming day.

Hello people!
I do intend to finish my math worksheet by today,if it wasn't for the fact that I can't do so many questions!All the more,shows how sucky in math I am.Hohoho.All wells,I have to figure out a way to attempt to finish them anyways.Think ah ming think.
Enough about maths,the fact is that whenever I see a chunk of numbers,brackets,squares,square roots,and alphabets all together,I'm extremely scared of it.And in my mind it'll scream one word: WHYYYYYYY!?!?!.Haha,now you know what goes through my mind during math exams and tests.
It's a SUNNY day today,Praise the Lord!Listening to 'Unfailing love' by Chris Tomlin. A really beautiful song,describes of God's amazing love,how unfailing and lovely it is.After all,no one can really ever truly exactly describe how great God's love is.It is just THAT great,THAT amazing.
My child.This is my child,whom I love.I remember that time when Bro Jonathan prayed for me and Rachel at the alter call.He prayed for quite a number of things,but what I remember the most of what he said was:
Your father says to you I AM PROUD OF YOU,MY DAUGHTERS.There then,I almost broke out in tears(though I didn't).Actually,the words 'PROUD OF YOU' was very impacting,I suppose Bro Jonathan said that part especially out loud.You know,I really think at that time God was speaking through Bro Jonathan.I was really shocked at it,after all,I haven't done anything really THAT glorifying,like bringing souls to be saved(I did try),or giving spiritual advice to someone,and yet,God is still proud of me.My question was,'God,what have I done that you are proud of?'.
I don't think I got a very detailed answer of what I did exactly,but I think I got a bit of what God said.Well,you don't need to be some full time minister,pastor or very spiritually mature person to make God proud of you.Still,God loves all of you remember?God appreciates every tiny action you do for him.Every time you try to bring souls,every time do or even try to do something for God,something to either further your relationship together or please him,he appreciates them and is proud of you for trying!It's alright to be rejected when you try bringing people to be saved,keep trying,God is by your side.Amen?
Everything you hold in your hand,
Yet you make time for me,I can't understand.
Praise you God of earth and sky,
how beautiful is your unfailing love,
unfailing love.
And you never change God you remain,
the holy one,and my unfailing love.Praise the Lord!(:
Thursday, June 19, 2008 / 5:04 PM
Calm your trembling hands in mine.

Hiyas!
Hohoho,Nicolette I have news!!!I got a very magnificent and pretty 5/15 for the algebra online test!WHAHAHAHAHA...well I expected it anyways,being someone who is super sucky at math. LOL.
Sulinn's wedding in two more days!I think I'm going to wear brown.And all I know from my brother is that he's going to wear jeans.Top,no idea yet.I don't even know what my sis is gonna wear.
Heh heh,anyways...
After not going to weddings for years,suddenly two weddings pop up!Definitely in a very wedding-ish mood now.
Not a lot to blog today,unless about homework is counted...yuck.So being stuck with homework,I intend to finish them all by tomorrow so I can nicely enjoy my weekends! I'm fast in homework completion at times.Though deadlines are super duper distracting.I love working without deadlines!
When I go back to school,I trust that Jesus is with me,and he will help me to enjoy school...SOMEHOW.And take away my fears of grouping up(I'm especially afraid of grouping up in school),and I will not fall sick in school,not fall asleep during devotion sessions (especially by...),and exalt his name every single day!Haha...
One more super important thing...WAKE UP ON TIME.Haha....
Enough about school,I should still enjoy the ending of my holidays while I can.Haha.
Right,back to homework!Later people,God bless ya!
Wednesday, June 18, 2008 / 11:40 PM
random.
I feel super honoured now.
I just realized that both Rachel Dass and Huimin's friendster display pictures HAVE ME IN THEM.
Haha...random!Anyways,feel so touched luh xD LOL...love ya guys anyways.^^
Nights!
Botanical Gardens!
Hello people!
Youth activity yesterday was definitely very nature-ish.Tiring,but it was very fun too!(:
So so,started off with meeting my fellow region people at the bus interchange.Listening to music and talking to Huimin the entire time.HAHA.
My surprise was,before heading towards Botanical Gardens Sheena needed to pick up some batteries...from GLENEAGLES HOSPITAL.Oh man.Now that I think of it,I haven't been there for the past 13 years and 6 months.Meaning since I was born.OH MAH WORD THAT IS SUPER DUPER LONG!!The place really changed,the faintest memory I had of it when I was born,is:
Glass window.White walls.Pinkish white blankets.Now that I step in not a lot of white walls to be seen.And why is the floor so glossy!?Haha,I bet it wasn't like that when I was born.The memory of the glass window,white walls and pinkish white blankets are the few things I remembered when I was born.Not bad,I can still remember them.


Well well,after all that nostalgia time to go to the botanical gardens!Second last region to arrive.Hohoho.But still,I did group with Carmen,Joel,Huimin,BJ,Ryan,Sheena and Franklin.In group 5 ^^
So one worksheet full of questions about the botanical gardens was given to us,and we have to run around and around the botanical gardens finding the answers.And in some activities,do cheers and and take zany photos.But over all,pretty fun!But at the same time,exhausting heh heh.

I remember this place was near swan lake and called the 'iron'-something.But yeap,beautiful as it is.

The 'Backstand'?STM in work again,I remember this called something-'stand'....Quite a number of couples take their wedding photos here!

This is the statue called 'Girl on a swing'.And if you look closely,this is one super strong statue since it's balancing it's entire body on the tips of the dress.After all,the ropes are hanging from nowhere.

This is cool!The marble ball is turning and turning with water,looks really interesting.

The sundial.Though sadly,it's a little bit inaccurate!But yeah,I haven't seen a sundial in a really long time...

My group took an amazingly LONG time to find this.Simple as it looks,but not easy to find!Haha.

Francel and I!Pardon my hair,I was sweating xD
And with two more clues,here we end our hunt!And my team was first lol.YAY.
After the game,we went off to town with Huimin,my brother,Caleb,Sheena and Jocelyn!For dinner and a short walk.Went to McCafe first,then I found something.

Must be the 3-quarter jeans that somehow gave me a blister on the side of my knee cap.Ouch.Declan joined us later,and we decided to make our way to pastacafe to see what we could have for dinner.
The trip there for me was definitely painful.Not because of the blister,but...
1.Scratched on the calf by the escalator
2.Tripped over something
3.Banged into some handle
4.Someone dashed past me,and his/her file scratched me on the left arm(the mark's still there!)
ARGHHH!Lots of minor accidents yesterday.
Alas,comfort upon reaching pastacafe!AMEN.


Huimin is the only one alert enough to notice me taking a photo here xD

So there ya have it,Huimin and I!Haha.
After that,suddenly everyone decided to eat at N.Y.D.C instead.But you know,it's a little weird to leave the area just like that,with the waitress whom already laid out the utensils and drinks.So we left a little by little,Huimin and I left first...and Sheena was the last.But yeah the waitress didn't seem to mind so much since Sheena already explained that we had a change of plans.We definitely did a thick-skin thing,Hah.
Off to N.Y.D.C we go!Where it was,I haven't been there since around p3?That is long!But yeah,the architecture is as cool as ever!


The architect of this area I admit,IS A GENIUS!lol...
N.Y.D.C toys are cute.And one of them is a teddy bear!My brother and I love teddy bears,and Jocelyn liked the toy moose.Therefore...

Cute huh?



I really think N.Y.D.C has the cutest menu ever.And it's main character which is some white dog is really cute!

Huimin and I again!Haha,we take photos of each other in most of the places we go.

I shared this with Sheena!'The three amigos' this dish is called.Very yummeh.^^

The 'Big O cheescake'.Rather sweet,but I loved it.Also shared with Sheena ^^

Declan's dessert.Not a Cheesecake,but something else chocolatey and I suppose a lot sweeter...
So,after a very lovely meal we went to the 'Borders' book stall to find something interesting to look at.The girls were in the wedding mood since 3 couples are getting married in this two months!A lot huh.And us the girls looked through 2 thick magazines on bridal dresses and weddings,while the guys browsed whatever there is OTHER THAN WEDDINGS.Haha.
And before we went to borders we saw this interesting sign outside a shoe shop.

Yeah.RUN RUN RUN!
After everything it's time to go off!And many thanks to the people who went for dinner,we all had loads of fun!Sheena,Jason Oon,Colleen,Declan,Huimin,Grace,Jocelyn,Caleb My brother and me!We really enjoyed ourselves(:
Many thanks to Jason who drove some of us back!(:And to end off,my brother and Shrek ears.Fits him perfectly now that he's Botak.Haha.

Dear Lord,I thank you so much for yesterday!Amen(:
God bless you all.
