profile

At twenty and one-point-six-three/four/two (can't remember) tall, I am a girl who loves many things, and detests a few. Not very fond of setting out a whole list of 'about me's, so... just read on. :)

Jerry Maguire

Jerry (voice wrought with emotion) : I love you. You complete me. You -

Dorothy: Shut up. Just shut up. (tears well up) You had me at hello... you had me at hello.

(They run to each other, and embrace.)




Melt, heart, melt. This is the sweetest dialogue I've ever heard in a movie! (must watch the movie then you'll agree too)

Speaking of sweet, there are like three ants on my table now. I am starting to freak out. Yesterday a moth the size of my fingernail decided to take a rest on where the mouse laid (how convenient) and I hovered around the table for awhile thinking of the best way to make it go away and I did it! Thanks to a pile of clothes lying close by for my usage.

Okay I digressed. Anyway, I love romantic movies! They make me feel all dreamy and happy. =) Love is something powerful really. But too many romantic movies and I might become idealistic, so STOP ME NOW! I have an urge to rent 50 first dates, Just like heaven, The Lighthouse and every romantic title available at the vcd rental downstairs lol.

Someone help me step back onto earth please.

FTB

Not FBT - that one I have a lot in my cupboard. ;) FTB stands for Freshmen Teambuilding Camp, and no prizes for guessing, it was packed full of teambuilding activities, from raft building to spiderwebs to stepping on bricks to get across an impossible distance in OBS East Coast.

I belonged to ZS (Zaki's Sparrows - inspiration from Jack Sparrow cos our section was Pirates) and our cheer was a combination of cliched mottos and the diudiudiu game hahaha. Great people I met, each having no qualms about sharing ideas and poking fun at one another.




































Wouldn't say this camp was pure fun, but it was fulfilling in a way; the rush of adrenaline that comes when you manage to complete a seemingly impossible task as a team is really something worth experiencing. And the serious debriefs after each activity were quite funny to think of them now - after awhile the things discussed become similar and we were all thinking of just writing the ditto signs on our notebooks whenever Zaki (our faci) asked us to reflect. shhhh.

Gahhh the pics for sports camp are taking eons! In the meantime I shall say...

HARRY POTTER, I LOVE YOU!

The last book is amazing. =)

jump if you're from SMU!



Still waiting for pictures from camps! This I koped from google.

I'M BACK! Almost ten shades darker, regretfully. But filled with a lot more love for my university. =)

I'll post an entry about how the camps went (in summary they went great!) when I get those pictures, but for now I shall say again for the umpteenth time that I'm feeling very thankful to God for everything, the good and the bad.

whee! *jumps*

heigh-ho

I don't know why, but the song the seven dwarfs sang as they crossed the stream keeps playing in my mind. heigh ho, heigh ho, it's all the way we go... (is that right haaha)

I'll be off for 2 camps (freshmen and sports) from tomorrow till thursday, with a break on monday which will be dedicated to my beloved bed, sooo...

Right now I feel excited, worried, sleepy and a bit hungry.

And a bit sad.

While out with Mel and Shuqi today I couldn't help but feel emo at the thought of Mel leaving for the uk. And she's not even leaving soon, what's the matter with me!

Okay I better sleep now. I've to wake at an ungodly hour tomorrow; something I haven't done for the longest time.

YAY!



This feels surreal. I am actually going to pursue my dream.

YAY!

=)

After matriculation (all the payment and registering) at the school yesterday I was thinking about the stuff I registered for, and the fact that I am going for 4 camps started to sink in, to both my horror and excitement. Horror because two of them are almost consecutive (how to pack?? how to sleep??) , and excitement because, well, they're camps! And camps are always fun - well, most of the time.

Suddenly the 20km march we did at nj's student council elect camp comes to mind. Not saying that wasn't fun, but its not the kind of fun I'd like to have most days. Haha.

Then there was a talk on volunteerism held by this lady whose passion for community service was so evident, she had my respect and admiration. 80 hours of community service is mandatory in SMU, which is great because I want to do so much more of that. Honestly, I've done peanuts in giving back to the community in the 12 years I've been in school, the reason being 'I have no time', which to think of it now, is quite rubbish.

On a bimbotic note, the official colour for the School of Law in SMU is... *drumroll*

PURPLE!

YAY!

If I go on I might start squealing. out!

because He first loved me.

the path was blurry
lined with half-baked theories
my heart
dwelled in creaky altars
a bright countenance
for dimmer reasons

then You came
knocking at the door
will you let Me in?
i wondered
were You real?

many worship
hands lifted
tears running down
will you let Me in?
trembling
my mind resisting
a gentle voice resounds
I love you, My child.

will you love Me too?

the door opens

and like a dove
You flew into the room
joy.
joy.
joy!

the path is clear
lined with Your truth
my heart
dwells in the altar of glory
and finally
i am filled.

thank You.

the heart of a woman

isn't as complicated as you think. This pretty book I'm reading (the cover is gorgeous - there is a silhouette of a tall lady walking across a beautiful landscape) entitled 'Captivating' by John and Stasi Eldredge says that there are three things a woman's heart longs for...

1. To be romanced

' When we are young, we want to be precious to someone - especially Daddy. As we grow older, the desire matures into a longing to be pursued, desired, wanted as a woman... maybe deep within, perhaps hidden or buried in her heart, every woman wants to be seen, wanted, and pursued... '

When I read this, I frowned and thought, so are we that desperate? Will we really wither without romance? But I realised that this longing does exist in most of us... and it isn't something that should be deemed as desperate-ness, but as something quite beautiful. I can't explain why, though.

2. An irreplaceable role in a great adventure

' There is something fierce in the heart of a woman... Women love adventures of all sorts... (but) we do not want the adventure merely for adventure's sake but for what it requires of us for others. We don't want to be alone in it; we want to be in it with others.'

This is a bit difficult to grasp. But yeah! When I watched Pirates and Harry Potter I did wish that I could be Elizabeth or Hermione (haha quite bhb hor bleah). But if Jack and Will and Harry and Ron didn't exist in the adventure, and neither did anybody else, I wouldn't even think about it.

3. Beauty to unveil

' And it's not just the desire for an outward beauty, but more - a desire to be captivating in the depths of who you are... We desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt; beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil...'

*nods vehemently at this*

And so I was left slightly flabbergasted after reading this part of the book - so that's all, just three things we long for, so simple meh? Then I asked my heart what it longed for and what do you know - all the replies stemmed from the three.

So am I a woman already? Somehow I feel like I will be a girl forever. Or maybe I feel like the girl part of me will never diminish... a big part of me wants to dwell in innocence, purity and child-like faith. Hmmm not that all of these will disappear once I become a woman, perhaps they just become less prominent. I think I'm not a girl, not yet a woman (does this ring a bell *coughbritneycough*). Hahaha.

Girl or woman (or halfway), it's quite amazing how we're made, to somehow have our hearts longing for three simple things, most of the time. =)

we multiplied...

into three!





And this is the cell group I'll be in - W452. Four-five-two... I have to get used to this.

Friends come and go, but for this bunch of people... they are special, because they are my spiritual family. Especially the 'pg gang' - playground gang, named so because they meet up all the time at a humble playground in Jalan Bt Merah. =) They remind me of my playground days, and their presence adds a kind of, I don't know... child-like faith atmosphere in cell group meetings - always excited, bouncy and cheery for God.

I'll miss all of them so.



But I am, as with all new beginnings, excited. This is really a year of new things! I feel like I'm walking in a maze waiting to be surprised with every step I take.
