// starsearch 2007

gosh. jerry and priscilla got into top20 for starseach 2007!


jerry! amazing lah.. hahha. no wonder i hvn heard from him for a long time. the intro titled him as "the unlikely star" but i think his talents gonna prove them wrong man. honestly, i din know he could act or was interested in actin.. i only knew he had big dreams in the entertainment circle, esp singin. (and he really can sing okay.)


i dont think pris can recognise me if we were to each other on the streets. she was ma secondary sch senior back then. (and i think i looked v diff then too.) but i actually gotta know her thru prefectorial board. (siewmei, patricia's batch) woo. she surely changed alot!

haha. no wonder i've been seein pictures of them together in jerry's f/s. so this explains why. all the best! (:

// i hope i am being over-sensitive

we're driftin..

the telepathy's gone.
the mutual understandin's gone.

i suddenly felt like i dont really know you afterall.
when i shared ma burdens with you;
you never wanted to share any with me,
not knowin i was constantly @ standby mode for you.


sustainin a relationship. is it supposed to be like the vicious cycle as illustrated below?

phase 1: strangers
phase 2: the usual HIs and BYEs
phase 3: friends
phase 4: hang-out mates
phase 5: "chopsticks" (ppl feel smthg's amiss when either one of them is missin)


and slowly, as this pair of buddies get so used to each other's presence, they started takin things for granted, forgettin how they first got bonded together; the tears shed, the warm hugs, the sunshine smiles, the upliftin encouragements.. where did that spirit of togetherness go to?


maybe its just me. im not used to your glum face, not used to the way you talk, not used to your negligence, not used to your casualness. i dont know, call me sensitive. i never liked guessin games, so if smthg's goin wrong, pls feel free to talk to me.


to a person so dear to me, i can only tell you that i'd always be here for you. God bless.

// its okay, God's with you.


ma favourited sunshine jing.


two brothers of mine. (:


in their own worlds.


splishy splashed feets..


sandy smiley sun by ma feet.


kids are bigger camwhorers than me!


just some pics frm yesterday's outin with church youths. fellowship was excellent. (:


cycled @ eastcoast park. sang praises. telematches. sandy play by the beach. SIA club-ed; gym, pool, badminton! BBQ-ed dinner @ seabreeze road thereafter. how could i ask for more? :P


***

i din really had a smooth-sailin day today. struggles are inevitable, yet they are tough to handle at times. but like what i said to maself: "its okay, God's with you."


its true. cryin heals. cryin releases. cryin is a God-given ablity! i found the answer to why im so proned to tears; i realised God was ma answer to love, to a new life, to a farewell of brokenhearted teenagehood. in sad memories, i find no sorrows. in sad memories, i only feel God's comfort and see God's glory.


thus, i wanna be continually strengthened by Him!



"As you focus your time and thoughts on God, it becomes clear what He wants you to do. The confusion doesnt seem so great because He is the God of order and peace. Life is less confusing when you realise He truly is in control. How wonderful to know that when you are confused, God has the answer. Just ask."

// just some self-introspection

work is so monotonous and i absolutely dread it. ):


the monday, tuesday to mustafa. and the wed, thurs, fri to raffles. tuition lessons, dental job, bible class, makeup classes. (hair class and A&P class is comin!) i think im losin the stamina.. sigh. i wan the contract to end soon. and i wanna get a higher-pay parttime job till jan next yr!


btw, i'll prolly go for the international certification for professional makeup artistry. which is why i still intend to do parttime till i officially complete ma education pursuit in makeup.


rahh. from the time i graduated frm tp till now. i grew to learn more abt maself, and lessons in life:

- i dont like sales job (but i have to take them cos they're too readily available)
- i like doin makeup on ppl
- i need to train greater patience
- practisin greater faith
- avoidin gossips (in an "all-aunties" environment)
- sayin only whats necessary
- plannin finances (esp when im jugglin with so many commitments at the same time)


i so wanna go states with ma church ppl. its a once in a lifetime opportunity. but honestly, i rather seek for God's will to be done. if its a yes from Him, i pray that He'd not let me face any lack. if its a no, i know that there'd be better plans for me ahead.


meanwhile, i really pray for a career path that would really allow me to uphold ma service towards God, rewarded by a comfortable band of income to feed ma dad and contribute to the home's monthly finances. and of course, one job that brings abt tremendous self-satisfaction.


tho i still dont really know whats ahead of me now.. i believe God has already gotten the pathway laid for me! :D and havin said that would mean, "practisin greater faith!"



its so good to be in the Lord..

// happy birthday derek! :)

haha! i've just incorporated interestin links at the very end of the right column. do drop by if they interest you. (dont worry, i dont have a tracker to track who visited..)


p/s: the first link has attractive deals. and the facelift one is very cool.


been feelin lethargic these days. guess its the lack of slp.. but to be honest, it was a choice made not to turn in so early. if only i could have dinner as early as 6pm everyday. then i prolly wouldnt have this problem; i just cant fall aslp after a meal thats 3-4 hrs before bedtime.


strange, i know. thats one of the main reasons why i dont supper. i would be like so awake physically, yet feelin sleepy mentally because everyone else is slpin! UNLESSSS. im super tired. :D


some random photos!



>> snapped in may. a display @ one of the puzzle shops.. aww. cute.



>> hehe! doudou in jun. time flies man. its august now!



>> it really wasnt me havin fetish for green. but i guess cute stuff always just so happen to be in green!



>> hahaha. yummy smiley.


bahh. im thinkin of puttin on braces when i have the money.. NOT for vanity sake (because i quite like my smile.) but for better maintanance when i get older next time. some may think havin crooked teeth is cute.. but.. you know unreachable gaps are easy residential places for plaque? :(




aiya. its just somethin that came on and off ma mind these few weeks lah. of course! bottomline is, i still dont have the financial means (course fees and exam fees are drivin me nuts!) AND i am very much afraid of the pain. wisdom tooth extraction awaits.. :( :( :(


like as tho ma face isnt fat enough.



i think im lookin older! *chants im only 20!*


hola its 1st august!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DWARFIE DEREK! :D
enjoy your day.. and im sorry i cant be at your party! smile k, cos kazumi still remembers!
