moving on

and so the school is moving next week from claymore to whitley while it undergoes renovation till the end of the year.

my first thought when i heard about our moving: whitley = CJC = a pile of memories

5years have passed! as cliche as it sounds, time really do fly dont they?

to many, it may not have been a big deal.
(now i think it was pretty ridiculous of me) but for awhile, i really couldnt face this school. and for months or probably years, i will try my best not to take any bus that will pass by that blue thingy and if i do pass by there, i will look the other way - i just didnt want to face the school! at that time, just looking at it brought me a whole deal of shame and condemnation. and did i mentioned, i hated blue for years!

but now thinking back, it must have been a love-hate relationship thing.

that place defined tired stressed even more tired and stressful
that place made me look like a sick stricken-with-some-disease bruised person
that place left me studying like some A* chiongster
that place made me realised choosing a school because of its uniform is a pretty lame reason
that place gave me muscles (PE was torture!)
that place made me cringed at the sight of a catholic brother
that place made me fell the hardest

if it wasnt for CJ, my first taste of His faithfulness would probably have been a different story
if it wasnt for CJ, i might have never knew huiling
if it wasnt for CJ, berd and rachael would not have been a part of my life
if it wasnt for CJ, i will never have knew how negativity literally kill
if it wasnt for CJ, i will never have seen how people can genuinely care and love
if it wasnt for CJ, the power of believing in someone else will never have been so vivid
if it wasnt for CJ, i will probably learn through an even harder way that failure is never fatal

through it all, i have learnt it can never be dark all the time and there is only this low you can fall, so if there's no more way down, the only way left is up.

and it showed me, failure is not because we are weak or incapable
it only meant we failed to trust Him in that area.

and so now, im pretty excited to revisit the 105 times!

i dream i can fly

recently i have a new found dream, or rather is like an 'add-on' to my already existing dream.
and everyday i will spend afew hours researching on it
and the more i read about it, the more excited i get over it!


the power of dream or rather a goal, does wonders.
im trying not to let my hopes get too high, just in case it falls short eventually and i think i will be very disappointed because I REALLY WANT IT!
haha anws, if it all happens its only going to actualise in almost 2years time.

so meanwhile its just hoping dreaming praying preaparing seeing reading all about it!

and finally

I AM FREE FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE DREADFUL EXAMS!

duno if its me turning old or what, this semester exam's revision was particularly draining. found it so hard to get all the theories into that brain.. but amazingly, i managed to verbally vomit out avg of 3pgs of ans for each question for each subject! Hope that verbal vomit will amount to something.... distinction perhaps? Hahaha

THIS IS IT with the mother the sisters the mkxh.
for a non comedy, no storyline or plot or suspense movie, i would say this was a pretty good show. Seen how he was dedicated to his own success, but the success of the entire team and his committment to give his best to his fans!

"IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE "- MJ. He must have been real confident as a big time mega star to be able to share his stage with someone else..

halfway through beat it, i accidentally fell aslp (its a 0010 show!) and guess what, i wasnt dreaming bout MJ or his songs.. I was dreaming about the market research concepts that i memorised for the morning paper!

Power of the thoughts that goes through our mind ah!

*wipes away cobwebs*

this is going to be so very random.

the world in the land of a&w and indomee must be spinning faster than sunny island.
two years ago:
the attached was attached
the single was single

two years later,
the attached got married and they are now happy papa and mama
the single got attached got married
the single got attached and getting married

all these in the span of two years! is that fast or what..

after hitting the 2-mark, life really seems to accelerate...
seeing friends getting married, being mothers
hearing friends talked about balloting for her future nest
discussing hen's night where to hold what to sabo what not to do that night
seeing den's wedding plans, i feel so excited! haha
not as if im the bride but still its eeeeggggcccitinggg!
all these makes me feel a tad old.

and ******** *****G robbed my joyyyyy =/
no more 8th and 13th november!
all my happy plans for post exams crushed.
pack me in your luggage if not im going to bury you in silkygirl and biiiiggggg meatballs.

till then, its back to the books!

JONAH AND THE FISH!

being angry, only made me realised how unreserved Your love is
being frustrated, only made me realised how patient You have been with me

i think with Him, i should stop learning to ask why.
ive not learnt as much as i did the past 18 months..
and im seeing the good out of it all.

realised sometimes as we grow older, we start putting the simple things aside.
the simple child like faith
the simple heart of a servant
the simple trust in people
the simple love for Him
the simple nothing-is-too-hard

as i start growing older, im beginning to understand more and more what it meant by "not letting the cares of this world choked us up", "in everything, give Him praise", "seek Him first and all we need will be added onto us", "with Him nothing is impossible"...

going back to the simple things
going back to just being me

after almost a year and a half in SIM, i finally realised the beauty of its library.
it is pretty condusive!

Shing was saying just yesterday during project meeting"WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS!" and for me "WAKE ME UP WHEN NOVEMBER COMES!"

when EXAMS ARE FINALLYYYY OVVVERRR!

gosh, september has been a really long month..
it feels like it has begun long ago, but im only in the middle of it!
four assignments due in the next two weeks.... man!

september must also have been the month of discipline

discipline to wake up for early morning lectures when my body wants to snooze all the way
discipline to save up so that goodfriends get good presents
discipline to spend less so that goodfriends can get good birthday presents
discipline to sit down focus and get my assignments done
discipline to come to school to get my research done even if it means ive to come alone
discipline to be faithful in the little
discipline to go to work and school all five days straight
discipline to manage my time wisely so that nothing gets compromise

and now, time for lecture,
so long farewell!

september september september - the month of many good friends' birthday.

CONGRATS MARGK DEN WEITING DAPH KANGW for running the past 5months well!!

dentist dentist dentist go or not go? i silently pray and wish the ache will go off on its own.

the msg bible says it so straight to the point;
"the world of the generous gets bigger, the world of the stingy gets smaller"

learning how to apply this principle in life.
realise i havent really been very much of a giver...
need to learn how to willingly give generously...

may not have all the riches millionaire has
may not have all the money a billionaire has
may not be earning as much as a full timer
but with the little i have, i can still be a blessing and a giver!

i never knew the wonders of my Sakura's camera functions!

this makes project meetings so much more fuunnnnnn (:
