Why is it that.
Sometimes you just want to cry all day.
But nothing ever comes out.
& it's all choked up inside.
& sometimes you just feel like you can't breathe.
Yet somehow.
You still manage to breathe.

But, I will trust.
Psa 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

& I will learn to seek shelter & comfort in You.

会有那么一天 - JJ LIN

一九四三世界大战
阿嬷年轻的时候
爷爷爱他那么多
他们感情很深
但是爷爷身负重任
就在离乡的那夜
给了阿嬷一个吻
轻声说道

我要离去别再哭泣
不要伤心请你相信我
要等待我的爱
陪你永不离开
因为会有那么一天
我们牵著手在草原
听鸟儿歌唱的声音
听我说声我爱你

夕阳西下鸟儿回家
阿嬷躺在病床上
呼吸有一点散漫
眼神却很温柔
看著爷爷湿透的眼
握著他粗糙的手
阿嬷的泪水开始流
轻声说道

我要离去别再哭泣
不要伤心请你相信我
要等待我的爱
陪你永不离开
因为会有那么一天
我们牵著手在草原
听鸟儿歌唱的声音
听我说声我爱你

我爱你

Sweet love song. <3 I'm totally hooked onto it! HAHA <3

Last Sunday, 15 Nov, was AWESOME! Hahaha. It was lovely spending the night with Germaise & Lyana. Well... Since Germ requested I shall update on what THEY did to me (: haha.

Church in the morning & then HQ. Thank God for a successful sharing & meeting up for HQ every week so far! :D

Met Lyana in the late afternoon to just shop around town before we went to redhill MRT to wait for Germ. It was nice just catching up; sharing about life with Lyana, just the two of us at Redhill.

Germ finally came (: & we bus-ed down to somewhere quiet. They blindfolded me in the bus! & it was DID in real life! They linked my arms & walked me down to streets, cross roads, making me guess where we were. Haha. Well, we finally arrived at this place where I heard some laughters, a relatively soothing background. There was some light music, & they told me we were near a pub. Interesting eh. Apparently we had to wait for our turn. We waited for quite a while, & finally! They started to lead me to a short platform of stairs. I then had to sit on a weird seat, and then a person started strapping me! I was shocked, even though I actually guessed where we were already but they refused to tell me. So I asked.

Me: Where are we? Why must strap?!?!
Person: Oh we're going for a boat tour, you don't know?
Me: HUH WHAT BOAT TOUR?!
Person: Hippo boat tour!

Shock of my life!!! I was seriously trying to feel for the breeze & feel for water splashes. & hear for water & motor sounds. Seriouslyyy!!! Eventually they took off the blind folds. & I found myself staring back at a crowd of people, & Germ on my right & Lyana on my left. & as I blinked to get my eyes adjusted to the scene, the person who bluffed me pointed to somewhere in the middle & said, "The camera's in the middle!" Oh & I saw the spherical thing & YES GUESS WHERE WERE WE!!!

SINGAPORE'S G-MAXXX!!!!

YES HAHAHA OH MY GOODNESS LAH I WAS SO SO SO EXCITED!!! But germ was nottt! She was screaming like mad before the thing even took off! HAHAHA. But the scene from up in the sky was beautiful! :D &&& they sang me a birthday song up there. HAHA. Thank you loves! Ohohoh. & when I came down, it was only then that I realised the camera was right in front of me, 'cause I was in the center! D: HAHA. But it was super fun nonetheless. & sitting it with 2 besties made it all the more EXCITING & MEMORABLE! <333!

Thank you two, for making my 18th really sweet & memorable, so exciting & it was so ex! I feel the pinch for you two :/// & I'm really really really thankful that I've two awesome friends whom I wouldn't trade for anybody else in the world! Thank you two, for remembering my birthday, for planning the surprise, for taking the time & effort & wearing a dress with me & for everything everything. Not just this birthday surprise (:

Thank you two, for being there for me, for encouraging me when I was down, for giving me hugs & shoulders to lean & cry on, for all the random love sms-es & the late night phone calls from time to time, & simply, just for all the love you've showered upon me. I know I can share just about anything & everything with you two & it'll be safe <3

I promise, 10 years down the road, let's go & take the thrilling rides again! :DDD

<3 youuu twoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I'M A SUPERRR HAPPY GIRL! :DDD

Made a lot of decisions this week. (: God's been showing me pretty clearly what He wants for me, yet I've been holding on, stubbornly, foolishly. But I'm glad I've decided to let go, once and for all. I really dread each Tuesday & Thursday, each time I think about having to go. Each time wondering if the other girls were going, if they were staying. & I always feel guilty about saying I'll be going yet, never turning up because I back out at the very last minute. Part of me still wants to train, still wants to go. So I suppose I'll go if only the other girls are really going, but no pressure. I'm not gonna pressure/stress myself out all over again. No more of that, it's been taking such a toll on me. No more (:

In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, it's fencing.

Hahaha yes, people are asking me to update already. Anyway, I'm finally EIGHTEEN!

YES. E-I-G-H-T-E-E-N! :DDD

To all who wished me & gave me cards, notes, presents... thank you all <3! Haha, & to all who put in that extra special effort to make my birthday a memorable one, thank you <3 too! :DDD

Well, basically what happened on Tuesday was this.
In the morning, Sheena pretended to not know that it was my birthday! So she asked me, "Why today wear so nice?" How was I to answer! I just said 'cause I was going out for dinner. When I reached school, I saw Salad & Grace lighting up a mini cake for me! Thank you to you three! :D HAHA. It's been awesome, having QT sessions with the 2 food monsters, Sheryl & Sheena! Then, Siti & Latifah made me wear this sash proclaiming that it's my 18th birthday during EA lecture! HAHAHA. Then they did this to me during lunch in the middle of canteen 3!

Yeah well, courtesy of CHONGTAK who uploaded it. So basically I looked like that from lunch time till about 6plus when Jia wen came round & kindly helped me to wash off the make up. Oh yeah & I had pink hair, the BZSE guys happened to have pink dye with them, so they dyed my hair pink too! D: Every year on my birthday I have to look like a clown! Last year too!
Played a round of Sardine that day! :D & KY lost. Haha. Righty, so we went to Bukit Timah Plaza's Pizza Hut for dinner :D WE WERE LIKE PIGS, SERIOUSLY. 5 of us, me, Chongtak, KY, Jamie (Daphne) & JasmineAh, shared a large pizza. & on top of that, we had a Hut's platter, & an individual pasta! WOAH. At the end of it, I was about to die from all that food! HAHAHA. & Madd once again spoiled part of the birthday surprise. Haha, Xiao Long Bao was whispering & asking her where something was. & she replied, "With Fiona, with Fiona." So I turned & said, what thing with Fiona? & she happily replied, "The cake." HAHAHA. Cute little dong dong blur queen lah this girl! :D So I knew about the cake.

After eating at Pizza Hut's, we hang around, played silly nonsense & waited for the CYA people to come from their meeting. After they came, they sang me a birthday cake & Ronny brought the cake to me. Thank you all for the birthday surprise! & that was not all. They blindfolded me & made me eat a spoonful of cake that was piled with cheese & chilli powder & tobasco sauce! I took a mini bite & spit it out! D: HAHA. Then they made KY eat the remaining cake as his forfeit. (The scandal with him has to stop please. D:) Anyway, they proceeded to surprise me with this huge board of post it notes of wishes from LAC people! (: & they appeared outside the window!!! Happiest shock of my life! SUPER COOL LAH! :DDD












Madd's super cute present! :DDD <3 this silly girl to bits! :D

Haha & Jeanie, Amelia, Ruthie, Zhang Shuo, Hock Cai & Trevor came over to celebrate my birthday too (: Thank you friends! It was awesome & I'm so glad you all remembered my birthday! (: Headed to KAP to find LAC people (theymoved there) & we did a flashmob there. FUNNY! HAHAHA the manager was quite stunned that no one bothered about him when he told us to keep quiet 'cause we were already in the midst of the flashmob! :D

HAHAHA. YES. ANYWAY. THANK YOU ALL!!! <3

Been online shopping quite a bit. Saw a few things I really really really. D: & Very few things catch my eye when I go shopping!



Super CUTE RIGHT! :DDD Wt's friend has it! D: 16 bucks. Should I...? :///



I'll be ABSOLUTELY HAPPY EVERY SINGLE DAY WEARING THIS PAIR OF SLIPPERS!!! <333 12 bucks. SHOULD I? D:



I REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS SUPER CHEERY DRESS!!! D: 15 bucks. SHOULD I? :/// I'm quite scared buying online clothes! D:

Oh wells. Let me post some HMS holiday pictures! :D <3 the times with the EXCO :D











I was seriously super entertained & fascinated by the HUGE LEAF! :DDD

<3 THE LEAF!

JASMINEAH'S SUNGLASSES! <3 HAHAHA. I kinda miss my swing-y hair a little! :D

That's all for tonight folks! I've got 3 lesson plans to rush. & Philip Koh's my field supervisor! More stress! D: I hope I survive through 2 Dec! :D

Learn To Fly - A1
When you feel the dream is over
Feel the world is on your shoulders
And you lost the strength to carry on
Even though the walls may crumble
And you find you always stumble through
Remember never to surrender to the dark
Cuz if you turn another page
You will see that’s not the way
The story has to end

And if you need to find a way back
Feel you’re on the wrong track
Give it time, you’ll learn to fly
Tomorrow is a new day
And you will find your own way
You’ll be stronger with each day that you cry
Then you’ll learn to fly

In your head, so many questions
The truth is your possession
The answer lies within your heart (within your heart)
You will see the doors are open
If you only dare to hope
And you will find a way to fight
The fears that kept you down
Cuz if you turn another page
You will see that’s not the way
The story has to end

And if you need to find a way back
Feel you’re on the wrong track
Give it time, you’ll learn to fly
Tomorrow is a new day
And you will find your own way
You’ll be stronger with each day that you cry
Then you’ll learn to fly

Looking at your situation
There’s so much that you can do
Now’s the time to make your stand
This is just an observation
In the end it’s up to you
The future’s in your hands

And if you need to find a way back
Feel you’re on the wrong track
Give it time, you’ll learn to fly
Tomorrow is a new day
And you will find your own way
You’ll be stronger with each day that you cry
Then you’ll learn to fly

Give it time
Then you’ll learn to fly

God, I'll depend on You, on Your wings to bring me higher, each time You break me down. & I know Father, Your strength is endless. & that's where I'll draw my strength from, from You & no one else.

I'm finally free to blog. HAHAHA. Past few days have been a craze again! But I thank God for sustaining me, His grace is more than sufficient. &&&. Jasmine says I should upload pictures! I'll try okay! (: Used to upload, but I got kinda lazy. Heehee.

Tuesday was fun. Until about 6. Haha lunch was awesome, all the LAC people were just chope-ing seats in makan place! & Fangxiu was the best. Seriously auntie! Haha but cute lah (: &&& Sardine after class! It was fun playing at Blk 52, I really hope this Sardine meeting can go on and on every Tuesday. It really bonds the LAC people together. At 6, I was seriously thinking whether I should go for training a not. It has been a question that I've been asking myself & the people around me, over & over again. Skipped it that night & emo-ed a lot D: Fencing's really affecting me a lot. But I suppose, I'm gonna give it another try, the fact that I'm thinking so much is prolly 'cause I still want to fence. Still want to master fencing. Still have that bit of passion in me for fencing. Sabre <3

Wednesday was awesome! Watched My Sister's Keeper in the early afternoon with Latifah, Yvonne, Daphne & Tammie. The movie was seriously <3. It was a heart wrenching movie, yet there were quite a number of parts where I could only smile and cry at the family love, the sister's love of all. I shouldn't spoil the movie for those who haven't watched it yet, but seriously, go catch it. & remember to bring a box of tissues along! (: IT'LL HELP I PROMISE. An almost 2hours show, I think I cried for an hour plus? But it was worth it, every tear. The emotions evoked in me were so strong, partially I suppose 'cause it brings me to wonder about the love between my own sisters & I. But other than that, the theme of love could be felt, I love the twist at the back. Watching the movie has made me more determined to go for Hair For Hope, next year if possible. I suppose watching how Kate, the girl with cancer, struggled so much with her outer appearances has impacted me even more on how there are so many youths, kids & even adults who are bothered about the loss of hair. How they probably struggle with accepting themselves & ignoring society's looks... All the more I want to tell them, please, embrace your identity not as a cancer person, but simply as a person with cancer, & you, like all others, have so much more within you than just looks. Being bald is nothing, it's just a different hairstyle. Hang in there, all the people with cancer, you're very very very brave people! <3

After my sister's keeper, I went to donate blood in school! :D I was supposed to go with Sheryl, Kay Yong, Ronny & Juo Wi! But Juo Wi pang sei 'cause we accidentally left him behind & the queue was super duper ultra long! & Ronny couldn't get past the temperature check, 37.6! Oh mann. Haha FINALLY! Sheryl & I got past all the check ups! :D KY also! But his friend didn't. Haha so the 3 of us queued for super long before it was our turn. KY was super comical lah, 'cause he was so scared! Haha. He was super talkative & nervous. Sheryl & I wanted to die listening to him talk & talk & talk! He tried to scare us into being scared for the blood donation. But I was super excited! :D :D :D The nurses were pretty nice & all, & I was sooo happy I could finally donate blood! We then had some biscuits (my favourite blueberry ones!) and a drink. KY took super long 'cause he was too nervous, his blood went haywire & he felt giddy! They had to lift his legs! Haha. OHOHOH. I got a yellow bandage! :D With bumblebee prints! :DDD Super cool!


Yeah KY & me. HAHAHA. 'Cause of the stupid scandal! WHY. Why did I play with him! D:















&&& they give you a cert for donating blood too! COOL OR COOL! :D I picked the "No chicken Award" 'cause it was so cute! But the one Sheryl picked was cooler. Haha. But I like the chicken one! :D

Had HMSS meeting at night & that's why I found out that my eyes were red. Felt that they were itching & a little painful. Found out my eyes were swollen too! D: I suspected that I had an eye infection D:

Thursday
I skipped the morning class to go see a doctor. D: Eye infection, I had to go see an eye specialist on Saturday. Anyway, rushed to school for PEC discussion. It was kinda weird, partially 'cause the table was so wide, I felt so far away from my group mates :/ <3 PEC tutorials, we had a debate! My side: For full inclusion... & WE WON! By 2 points. :D It was mainly Priscilla & I who were talking. :/ Oh wells. I love debates anyway :D Skipped training 'cause of my eyes. They were hurting like mad D: Met Lucy Quek, course manager, for a talk about my FP 2.1 grades. Nothing can be done anyway. I'm kinda, resigned. Not exactly happy with my grades, but God's teaching me that He knows what's best for me. Went home & chionged the LINK. D: Slept for a couple of hours only. D:

Friday
POS! Pledge of Silence. I die die also wanted to go to school. HAHAHA. Must take part & try out! Was forced to talk & answer the lecturers in class D: They refused to allow me to write my answers out. Oh wells. So other than lesson times, I didn't speak. Decided to try out for the 24hours on my own! :D Didn't talk till the next day, 9am! :D Even when I woke up I didn't speak too! Haha. But had to speak to the doctor the next day lah. But I went into a silent arguement with my sister 'cause she thought I was being retarded. ): I was quite upset. ):

Saturday
Went to the eye specialist in the morning D: Had 3 spots of eye infection in my left eye. Have to go back on Monday for a review D: Rushed to Vivo & met up with some people there before we shopped around & hung out for awhile! & I have decided! I wanna get a bikini! HAHAHA. Reasons later. Anyway, LAC outing to Sentosa was pretty fun :D I wanted to go into the sea! But couldn't! D: Oh wells. Had a couple of HTHT sessions :D Awesome mann! &&& so many people are joining Hi club! Can practise my signing skills already :D ohoh! Hahaha I want to buy a bikini to go shower! Then can shower in the girls' open shower, wayyy more convenient than queuing for the cubicles D: It took eons before it was mine turn! The guys were chasing us like mad D: Haha. Had dinner at Vivo, we all da bao food from all over Vivo & sat at the stage area to eat like a big family! <3 & we even had random campfire songs singing session & then! We did a flashmob at Vivo! HAHAHA. Just queued up in 2 lines & stand still. I didn't hear any of the comments but apparently they were super funny! :D <3 LAC people!

Sunday
Rest & relax day. Came home straight after church to just rest, take a breather, try to organize my stuff for the upcoming weeks of school... I need Jelly to send me the assignment deadline time line soon! Need to stop playing & start working already. But I really thank God for the rest time I had today, no need to use brain so much! :D

P.S. Ever since Xuan started bringing her camera to school everyday, I've been camwhoring! Here are a couple of my recent SUPER COOLIOS PICTURES :D


Jing & I wore couple shorts without asking each other to! <3 :DDD No wonder we got married right from 1st semester! <3
















MR PRINGLES! <3 HAHAHA I bought that moustache for Pris! :D































Thank You God, for blessing me with this lovely sister, who's always so caring & loving :D <3 you Xuan! & don't let people bully you okay! I will stand up for you! :D <3 you!








My brightest photo yet! HAHAHA. Hair super messy lah please! :D
















&... My best photo yet, as yesterday was Halloween... Let me scare you all a little! HAHAHA! :D

HAHAHA SUPER SCARY RIGHT! This was during a 2 day 1 night camp you know! Oh wells. HAHAHA. Nights people, have a good week ahead! :D
