for the loonie brother of mine .....

Managed to do some studying with this brother of mine.

45 more days to your BIG Os!!

Hang in there! You can do it dude!

and you'll have a blast after the 20th : )

loveeyouus.

insanity strikes.

1.9 k to recover data.

i hate toshibaaaaaaa! Never invest in Toshiba laptops.
pointless, learn to let go?

i gotta face it.

my heart just feels so heavy at the thought of my laptop.

Why? i don't understand how these tech gadgets/information can affect one so deeply.

i figure i just need to rant.

current fav: snow petrol- chasing cars

the missing link

What I’m trying to do at the moment is not let the horror going on in my heart interfere with my life as I’m living it. This is incredibly hard, and I think that sometimes not acting on my feelings makes the feelings worse. It’s easier to do when I’m busy, or when I’m with people and when im in peace with the one above.

my heart still does flipflops.

prolly give Butter fac/zouk a miss tonight, chia & ryan. feeling sick-ish. haha
u enjoy with ur friends ok doks?

BUT
tues group was : )
comforting & inspirational at least.

All this aside, check out the lil one below, worthy of adoration.










Moo-moo Zac

charge with faith

For all out there:

Nothing's impossible I have found

For when my chin is on the ground

I pick myself up, dust myself off, start all over again

Don't lose your confidence if you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip

And pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again

Work like a soul inspired till the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired but you'll be a man my son

Don't you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again?

They picked themselves up, dust themselves off and started all over again

-Diana Krall

Sipping my tea
browsing thru my notes,
Searching for Weber's theories for my socio project tmr.
trying to relate them to the question given.
Till now, no progress.

Nonetheless, i felt really good this morning,
finally put an end to my procrastinations.
approached uncle Dom about my interest in being a cathecist.
exchanged some thoughts and he said he'll keep me informed on their next meeting : )

Mothership in the stable, its been a long time since we last had one.
sharings that lasted for an hour or so.
an informative one by jem, that re-iterated many good points.

Dinner was at Aunt Lu's place
followed by the surprise for mr.see.

MESSAGE:
Happy 21st burth-dey buddy Chris.
ready for ur indulgences? your big fat pocket?
ur moolah will bring you thru your hefty stylish expenses.
Happy shopping mister.metro : )
haha.

i'm glad u were supersurprised at our 'lubchews deepdeep' & lameass bday song.
Follow your dreams and showcase your many talents & potentials for you have so much in youuu.
Continue serving the lord in your splendid ways dude!

Mac's creations, dun freak out.

will upload the rest in due course.

it's taking real long.

a lifestyle makeover.

Lets indulge in personal time:

# treat youself to a foot-massage
# take a mental vacation ( visualize and take a ride)
# Meditations ( take a few deep breaths)
# start a journal
# soak in a hot tub
# stretch and don't jump out of bed!!
# exercise
# pray

For those stress-junkies out there, try the above!
Preferably, i like mental vacations : )
and most often, i end up stoning. haha

By giving our stress-addicted side permission to receive care, we establish what we were after all along: a sanctuary where our wounds can heal and we can hear the voice of our true self. We tend to become calmer. A force for peace
instead of panic?

What i got out of Oprah's.
simple serenity : )

Review Mymonday

Brekkies@Breekos with Cheryl. IFM Reads. collected my lenses. groceryshopping.supper @ ahmei with Lyn&Chris. agonizing over my laptop.

A good week ahead

cheerios

june.

memoir one for the day.

my fingers drifted to this picture.
the professional attachment season.

it kept me rooted for a long while.
miss those days.

a great dismay

still in mental rejection
i'm so annoyed at TOSHIBA
my hard-drive's in a fix once again.
1) spillage
2) faulty HD
what's next man? i fear to think.
i have no fate with laptops.

i hope it'll be revived once again like my old fujitsu
ryan!! ur mac is still better la. arghh
*i need ke-trillion prayers.

Flo called and she told me a story.
the process and the attitude that forms the outcome.
it's so true florydory, it really is.
thanks for that encouragement.
u call at the right time, n let me emphasise, you always do!
loveee.
embrace the struggle at work and utilise ur fav phrase 'rejoice'!! @ all times dearie.

surprise visits.

exceptionally jubilant.
past two days were filled with visitors. haha
bestie dropped by on Wednesday.
Lyn & Chris surprised me the following day.
Too bad i moved into a new block and thus, their plans were somewhat foiled.
But, really appreciate their thoughts, for taking the time out to come down and visit.
The lowly & lonely me, the stressed-out soul of mine was certainly cushioned after their visits.

Yes, agree largely that ministry life should not be forsaken babe.
the constant reminders, concerns & repairs have been ringing in my head alr.
grateful indeed for their friendships, so blessed : )

I find myself just filling my time

With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind

I`m doing fine and I plan to keep it that way

You can call me if you find that you have something to say

Where`d you go?

I miss you so

Seems like its been forever that you`ve been gone

anxiety and fear is just stirring up in me
when u find out what you would rather not.
when everything just seems so foreign to you?
too much of rest makes one lose the motivation n drive.
i dun wanna over-rest. but i feel as though that's the path im falling into right now.
someone, pls get me out!

i know i cant complain.
there are people out there suffering even more.
bestie dear, i know you're really having it bad now but be assured that i will be there ok?
so many issues that ure battling with, i know its not easy but i pray that things will eventually turn out fine,
dun lose that glimmer of hope ok? god will provide.
we've gotta embrace this struggle tog.

Just received a call from the lil' loon brother of mine.
he called to ask me how i was doing.
how swwweeeet right. so rare!
he's not that hard hearted after all huh. haha.
n the amazing thing is that, he called at the right time, when i'm feeling so lousy.
thanks bro : ) all e best for your prelims. study hard!!
work towards ur goal and dream, singapore poly awaits you!!

going for lunch now then off to my ifm seminar n fyp thereafter.
anticipate a real long day.
wish me luck.

Stunning Babies

a gushy move.

fri night

drove daddy-o to the airport.
off to nagoya : ))
Japan's one of the places i have yet to traverse too.
Due to A-levels, i had to forgo tt sea odyssey with my family.

headed for supper with Jem & Daniel @ ahmei thereafter.
bumped into Anthony with his 'weird' friend and gang. haha
the night seemed really long for me. could not get to sleep one bit.
chit chatted with lil' lyn in the wee hours of the morning, talking about a lil bit of everything.
will miss that babe when she goes over to the land of the aussie's man!
talked about the future, adversities and my changing aspirations that brought my contentment. hohoho
i would love to go to the land of the 'maori's, to prolly further my studies though.
is the grass really greener on the other side? ratrace Singapore, i dislike.
ah well, that would be like 2 yrs later or so i presume.
At this point in time, i'm glad i kinda sorted out where and what i would be heading into.
gotta discern about it too. :) to get a clear direction.

Dozed off at about 5-odd after delving into some past memoirs.
a sudden flashback tt must have caused my insomnia.
so foolish of me to have sent that message.
back into the human self, when ur heart rules ur head for that moment. argh.

My Fry-day afternoon was spent with my fypmates.
Ntuc income to interview the loans dept mgr, a rather fulfillling session i must say.
walked thru SMU, met Adriel for a while and bumped into some familiar faces.
a pity i did not manage to meet my UBS friends.
Met Peishi for a while, got a 'warehouse' white top at this secluded bazzaar in ngee ann city
for a good 9 bucks. (90% sale). A quick stop at far east to pluck my 'bushy' brows then headed home early on a Fri.
Mum just came back from Perth and thus, dinner was prepared for us.
5 tops were in store for me. For once, mum's taste improved tremendously. *love
she's into polka dots. how cute!

chic faves for the moment:

Opal/peach eyeshadow from bobbibrown

faith journey with the roommate

the walk of faith : )
It has been a long time since i had a meaningful quiet time with the roommate in particular.
our long talks & whims on the importance of spirituality as one of the spokes of life in a 'wheel'.
And so, we finally managed to read the word and to engage in personal sharings tog. how we depend so much on our lord only when things go wrong?
how despicable of us? then again, is it denial that causes us to rely on him for every single thing? escapism?


After much thoughts, we agreed that it's the immense faith that keeps one going.
The faithfulness that no one can ever replace.
We must extol him in our ups & downs;
the one that has greater plans for us.
the one that turns failures & curses into blessings.
the unconditional love.
the sufficient grace.

It's great to be able to find myself back into this path, the neverending walk of faith.
hope to keep to this regime on top of our fitness regime babe! hohoho

Extending a BIG warm HUG to bestie dearest who is feeling rather lowly now.
I'm sure things would naturally fall into place and have faith that all will work out well.
fret not & be strong.

Also, thanks for coming over on Mon with Cher, been eons since we hung out at my place,lazing ard, trying to do work, bitching, cher's 1st attempt at prata, friendster-ing & the list goes on.

Happy Birthday to Jem & Val !! It has been a blessing to have known the both of you.
Cheers to our friendship!

indolence, indecisions & delays are parents of failures.

a piece of sophistication

its true. aint it?

a long entry

Characteristics of Singaporeans:

1. kiasu
2. singlish
3. geeks
4. food fanatics
5. career-minded
6. conformist (NUTS syndrome) No U-TURN syndrome.
7. unhelpful
8. unhappy
9. short-sightedness
10. pragmatic

Do common experiences define who we are? i guess this 10 points depicts the culture we have,something that cannot be documented. The multiple identities we have. In reality, we all share certain similarities.The ideas in our minds come from the instituitions in society. Some domains are promoted whilst some are undermined. If one asks, ' who are you '? You answer, ' i am you'. The cause of the direct influence of our state. haha

Singapore society in transition, the very suggestive and insightful socio elective : ) Considering my ignorance level, this module is definitely of great use to me! Gives a wider and social perspective to things.

Thurs: 31st AUGUST- Waani Waan's 21st birthday.

Paradise on Earth @ Poh Seng Road. Happy birthday my dearest thai babe!! It was great bonding with all of them. After the long-awaited reconciliation of Ryan & WH. haha. i'm glad all turned out fine. The tension, hurts and outbursts all resolved. You should have seen how elated i was, even happier than the both of them! Prayers do work miracles indeed. Finally, we can plan a grad trip together. Farms or vineyards of Perth, Dubai's exotic Arabic touch, Ryan's Penang suggestion, beautiful beaches, India, Travis's homeland, Tibet, Soccery-Brazil,Mexico and the list goes on. As poor students, we do have financial constraints. haha. So let us just dream & continue thinking freely. Hopefully, one of this places would be fulfilled and traversed to after graduation : )

Paid a visit to Peng aik's room in hall 16!!!! That lucky ass has a splendid single room. Proceeded to Waan's hall thereafter. Helped to dye her hair,watched 'the devil wears prada'. i like the show : )) exaggerated insights into the fashion industry and the choices that one can make.

Seems like time's been eating the most outta me. i must study!!!! Bestie & Cher Loh, travel to the far west to study with me ok? hohoho

Pictures to be posted sooooon!

Cheerios.
