profile Walking by faith is something easy to say, but hard to do especially when things don't go as planned. But we try all the same, and I'm no exception. This blog is in some ways cathartic, in others a means for me to pen my thoughts and struggles as I walk this life and learn to trust God more with each passing day. tag archives May 2004 June 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 October 2004 November 2004 December 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 friends and credits skin by: Jane |

PMS No no it's not that pms I'm suffering from. It's POST MATH SYNDROME. Urgh. Stupid and pointless as it may sound, I regret (wholeheartedly) not flipping through my curves notes, not giving normal distribution a closer look, not doing... more. And I so feel like killing myself (alright not really) for forgetting the meaning of 'hitherto' when it came out AGAIN today at the vocabulary section in the GP paper. Again does not equal the second time, because I swear I've seen the word in exams close to, what, four times?!! Live with no regrets - it's easy to say, but so hard to do. I know it's over, I shouldn't think about it, yadda yadda there's no point, but I can't help it! Cross my heart that I'll get over this by tomorrow. Friday, June 23, 2006 @ 11:48 PM
cycles You know those cycles we used to learn in primary school? Stern cycles with 90 degree - arrows and pictures of the egg to the worm to the larvae to the whatever? Ah. Now I present to you - my life cycle.  Isn't it marvellous??!! The question mark makes the whole cycle so much more tantalizing, doesn't it! Well it represents a series of activities, namely stoning/watching a bit of teevee/doing some jumping jacks/opening the fridge for fun - you catch my drift. Hur. So much for dripping sarcasm. I'm really not complaining. I don't mind the vast increase in brain activity the past few weeks, but I just resent this monotony. Maybe I'm like Tom in The Glass Menagerie, always inching for adventure, in another sense - not the dying-to-leave-my-family-to-see-the-world sense, but the dying-to-leave-my-study-table-and-have-fun sense. Am I talking sense? I'd better do so. Two more days and I'll be writing a lot of sense on full scap with my school's big grey name on top. I hope! Mug hard, dragon babies. =) Saturday, June 17, 2006 @ 11:16 PM
stinkopoop hello mavis here! :) laoda(nickname given to her by choirmates) is feeling lazy and she is so lazy that she doesnt want to update her own blog! you beeg stinkopoop! we're both leading a no-life life. that's the reason why she's got nothing to update about, and why i'm doing it. oh today we were audience for the 3 a cappella groups performing at bpcc. laoda was so evil! she coerced me into meeting her at bukit panjang lrt station to walk to the cc with her. the cc is at pending lrt station. what kind of name is pending? it sounds stupid lah. and guess what. when i reached bp(by bus) laoda complained about the scorching sun and we took the lrt instead! zzz. and we found out that pending is pronounced as pern-ding. disappointingly, the performances were kinda sub-standard. i reckon it's the mics system. like 4 people sharing one mic. basically we could only hear the soloist and vocal percussionist and almost nothing from the harmony people. too bad i guess, but that gives that a reason to perform again during farewell! :) then we went laoda's house! and turned it upside down by singing, playing her piano, playing roy's guitar and blasting her computer speakers all at the same time. and she served us some GRAY soyabean which looks disgusting but tastes good. hahaha!

the force. Unlike the legion of football fanatics that are currently living the time of their lives, I remain the xiaohui that flips to the sports pages of the Straits Times more often, and whose ears perk up more when the telly shows a green mass with people kicking ball and fans screaming in euphoria. I'm not a football fogey if that's what you're thinking! If matches were telecasted before midnight I'd watch them. Serious. But my priority of things at the moment is as follows: 1. Sleep/eat 2. Mugging 3. Everything else So no matter how riveting some of the matches get ( they are always riveting, I know. sheet.), I'll have forgo them for... a greater good. But if you ask which team I'm rooting for, it's ITALY and GERMANY! The former because I'm still pbs-ing (post bardolino syndrome), and the latter because they are the hosts, some octos are there on the exchange trip, and perhaps due to this german choir we got to know in Verona...  I love their jolli-ness, their love for singing - and maybe that translated to football. Far-fetched translation but oh well. Football is such a force. I really think so.

The mental universe Ah. I could get used to this. Awaking when the sun's up, being able to eat breakfast without having to pack my bag and wear my watch and tie my shoelaces simultaneously, leafing through lecture notes and tys-es on my favourite table at home, watching a bit of tv and doing a bit of msn. Is this... true happiness? OH MY I sound like a career woman turned housewife. =) Well, I am a full-time student turned homebody now... And I admit it, wholeheartedly, that I love being at home most of the time. I embrace socialising out of it too, but there's just something about home that draws me unconsciously to it. At extra lit lessons today, we talked about 'the mental universe' - where each of us, being a microcosm of the universe, single-handedly constructs the world that we live in. There is no one reality, because in each of our minds, reality presents itself differently. Like a thumbprint, my reality is definitely not the same as yours, or anyone else's. My reality now, therefore, is a June that will be spent largely on my four subjects, at home - ironically, I think I share the same reality as thousands in nj, and possibly thousands more in other jcs who are having their exams once school reopens. It's funny, how true 'the mental universe' applies to life, yet students in Singapore like me and you share this same reality, this same mental universe of going through dozens of tutorials and lectures and exams, wanting to do well in the end, well enough to enter a higher institute of education. Will I ever have my own mental universe before I enter adulthood, especially in this small country where study seems to fill every void of reality in a student's life? Perhaps the idea of the mental universe just doesn't work for me, just yet. Sunday, June 04, 2006 @ 7:32 PM
photoboard. Here are the eight people/things/happenings in pictures that are filling my mind right this instant! (in no order of merit)  Us year twos, taken during our last choir practice, where we had a heart-to-heart evaluation with Miss Lim of our choir experience the past one year - it was emotional, yet heartwarming, and really memorable.  Juniors, you people sure know how to melt our hearts. =)  These two girls are my everything in choir. I sound wrong! But oh well, since its true, I don't mind! =D  'Flamingo Sing' keeps replaying in my mind, and it is all ttbb's fault.  Nana. I talked to her on the phone for a loooong time the day before, and I miss her lots.  We're having a circle of trust dinner sometime this week - being the 'tangent', I get to go too!  Isn't this absolutely pretty. I didn't put a question mark because I am very convinced it is. ahhh so pretty!  Creme Brulee - FINALLY I know its name after eating it in Verona, then seeing it again today at the lunch buffet with my family. yumm. end! |
