yet another interesting discovery.
i learn new things EVERYDAY!

that aside,
a fun interesting day in school.

first was going round the school taking photos, we were given 45mins so of cos we took the opportunity to EAT & take photos, of ourselves that is.

second was BUTTER MAKING! wooooooo so interesting pleaseeee! butter's rather easy to make. just a lil' more ex than buying butter itself. and haha we ate bread & butter for lunch - AWESOME!

third was effective communication - coool vidS! (: and the suuuper what-i-think-about-you post its. cooools!

& to end of, the most artistic photo of the day:

smiles!
life IS exciting when im holding YOUR hand:)

okay seriously i need to change to wordpress.
so i can paste my pictures & not trouble myself to upload.

if you're clever, go find the site.
if you're not, nudge me and ask me.

byebye!

2008-10-23T01:04:00.002+08:00

i dont know why i bother.

mel's church is suuuper friendly,
AND small! but it's good cos it aint intimidating..

im so tempted to miss meeting tomorrow night and go for her service again! & there's a natural tendency to compare bmc vs her church. the people & the feeling of a newcomer. so so so different.

i've been dreaming so much. of so many things. it's clouding my mind. my subconscious mind playing over and over again. & i cant help it. i want it to stop. things im running away from, staring right at me at night.

okay i got it
got to do someting about it
need some time okay

it's a thanksgiving day for my family!
& it's evident that Jesus really lives.
PRAISE THE LORD.

He is God & there's NO doubt!

2008-10-21T18:13:00.001+08:00

im xXxcited!

2008-10-20T22:15:00.002+08:00

while i have to smell the same lecture theatres, see the same school, walk the same path everyday, climb the same hill, exbestfriend gets to study at SENTOSA everyday. im xXxtremely Jealous of him. should have gone to tp tourism HAHA.

mel & i had a good sharing about churchies stuff & i really thank God:) im praying about joining her church speaker session this wed/thur/fri/sat/sun!

y'know, God has perfect timings!

was quite upset about something this morning but when i received a reply from 7yee about the recce yesterday, HAHA! it totally totally MADE MY DAY. & i asked her about it last night but she only replied me after that one upset moment. so the whole day i was just thanking God.

YAM CAMP IS IN M'SIA
SOOO XXXXXCITING!

cosier than church.
definitely more fun.
out of the country.
& God ROCKS.

UPCOMING: 16+ assignments.
TEXTBOOKS: $100++

if you could see me now.

2008-10-19T22:11:00.002+08:00

TEACH ME HOW.

i was just thinking,

how everyone has good points.
& i should really start looking at that
rather than judging their bad points.

im gonna start making my own "the WHITE book"!
:: the opposite of "the BLACK book" in mean girls.
but who am i to judge others?

character check.
im just trying to learn.

the past two days have been ~ super HIGh.

saturday was JB m'sia with church.

new friends, old faces.
but lots of fun.
especially in the bus.

not.enough.shopping!
one & a half hours ONLY.
rush rush rush rush rush!
stressful dinner.

but the boat ride was awesome.
i LOVE boat rides!
makes me SO SO SO HAPPY.

thank God i know some friends taking powerboat license!

CHURCH ANNIVERSARY + CM CARNIVAL.

daryl, julian, cuteboy & 7yee in the brainless station.
really tiring but FUN!
rowdy & crazy station mates.
rowdy & crazy kids.

lunch. TEAM, LET'S GO!

the A somebody has an ipod for her birthday from her godparents & im praying for godparents like them too - hahahaa! that A somebody was even zouking last night with free tickets at VIP lounge. whatttttt. sweeet havoc so not cool. hahahahha.

amazing amazing world news!
& i was TOTALLY freaking out.
hardly believing it!
sooooooooooooooo happy.
yet soooooooooooo scary.

figured.

split personality

this morning i saw her a shy quiet dao girl who doesnt like to play games. this afternoon/evening i saw her a crazy laugh-nonstop clown-like hyena.

seriously.

here's how people learn from mistakes:

she says,
statue of PUBERTY (liberty).

she says,
i knocked my head, i think i have a CONCLUSION (concussion)

she says,
wah you so CONFIDENTIAL (confident) of winning ah.

and she laughs at herself.
entertaining!

lead me, walk beside me.

A DEEP BREATH.
HERE I GO AGAIN.

2008-10-17T23:51:00.003+08:00

A NEW LIFE.
for my fujitsu.

& soon i'm leaving on a jet bus.

catch president star charity about 1hr after the show starts.
the encore telecast is tomorrow i think.
darren, gurmit singh & tay ping hui are soooo entertaining!
i could almost watch it a million times. sorta.

JUST A SMILE.
remember that smile.

2008-10-16T01:34:00.002+08:00

everyone on my 2C02 list is not online!
that's cos tomorrow we have an 8am class + the longest day of the week! furthermore the 8am class lecturer is strict so we have to be there ON time!

i really pray i wont have to run up the hill again tomorrow. should really learn & get it into my head that if class starts at 8, i have to be at the school bus stop by 7.50 to allow time for a nice slow walk to class.

today's sleep-till-12noon was awesome! the thought of dragging myself up in the morning for the next whole month just makes me soooo sian!

i cant wait for friday,
& saturday!
& sunday.

**thankyou to those of you who supportively bought the shirts from me:)

we're too stubborn to lose, but either way we lose.

2008-10-14T23:07:00.001+08:00

i survived TWO days of school.
seems like TWO whole weeks!

& im SOOO glad i can sleep in tomorrow!

:)

2008-10-12T00:06:00.002+08:00

school starts on monday.
well, tomorrow.

& with the responsibilities i've taken up.
i hope i can cope with everything.

especially since i really want to work part-time at a swimming pool so i wont waste my BM + CPR + LS123 certs.

but i'd probably not.
not till next year.

i guess when the holiday all sums up.
it's natural to have the tendency to look back
and ask, WHAt HAVe I DONE!

but no matter what,
i thank God for each day.
each person i helped.
each new person i met.
each old friend i caught up with.
& everything i've done.
whether a success or a failure.

packing my room's an example of a FAILURE:)
i really need professional help.
i've been packing my room since forever!

& korkor says when he dies, one of his dying wishes will be for me to pack my room - like the 9pm show. haha sweet - not!

so like a new year, i start school again.
im so tempted to make a new year resolution wish. cos ever since i entered poly, new year doesnt seem like new year.

but i wont.

i just pray for joy overflowing & for Jesus to be with me:)

2008-10-07T17:27:00.001+08:00

yesterday i went to HORT PARK with my GB clique =)) TT PLACE IS SERIOUSLY COOL AND NICE LA! ^^

1st stop, a room full of photos
the wall outside has small little tiles which match up to 1 picture of trees

inside displays all the photos taken by professional photographer. really nice and artistic haha =)

2nd stop a "house"
there is this glass house, inside is decorated by all the different types of plants
In the living room

In the kitchen

on the walls...

between the living room and the room

In the study room, A POT OF BIG ORCHID

small little garden outside the study room

linking to the bed room

3rd stop TOILET haha! coz... Geena sae the next toilet will be quite far away...
outside the toilet there is this big space with tables, later at nite den i realise it is used by the restaurant
Nice Views...

on our way out, Geena, our tour guide for the day showed us 1 cool plant, the under layer of the leaf is furry, haha, nice to touch!

saw the closed up leaf, it is the new leaf =)

jus cool looking flower, haha!

next we went to the place for meditation... oum.... ^^

u are suppose to go inside with a problem in mind, den u walk along the circle lines and when u reach the middle, u are suppose to think deep, ask ur self questions on the problem. when u are ready, u den walk out of the space and u are suppose to think of distracting things so that u will not think of the problem again. haha! sounds weird? i wonder if it works... SO IF U REALLY CANT SOLVE A PROBLEM, go there! den let me noe if it works =P

nice place...

our next stop, to the theme garden, there are a few gradens with a theme, lyk fruits garden, recycling garden, blah blah
taken in the recycling garden

a cone reversed to plant flowers

OK! Qn: which tree/plant is dragon fruit from?
ANS: CACTUS

on our way to the glass house

big tree, cool tree =D

sun is setting...

so... BREAK TIME! ya, all snacks, mostly SEAWEED! haha! weedy weedy

5-6pm sky... NICE?! ^^

orchids can be found everywhere along the path la! but all the white ones

nite falls, so.. IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE COOL BRIDGE!

this bridge will change colour every 20MINS, sad tt we couldnt get to see it change colour.. =(

anyway, the track is serious very scary, we are dunno how many metres ABOVE THE GROUND, and the tracks are really long. 1 is the stairs where u can take straight down to the bus stop, another is a long track sloping down to the bus stop, another leads to somewhere... haha!

after the trip, we took bus back to vivo for light dinner. we ordered dim sum and...

JUMBO ICE KACHANG!
and we manage to finish it! ^^ *yummy*

Hort Park
5 October 2008

the place for photography.

the place for fun & bonding.

2008-10-05T01:30:00.002+08:00

exactly a week.

suddenly,

the many weeks became a week left.

and i dont like the thought of:

-taking a 1hr bus ride every day

-forcing myself to get out of bed

-dreading the next day of school

-being too tired for weekends

-busing with the peak hour crowd

-my free time is everyone's free time

-no more badmintoning till forever

i'd rather school at night and then do whatever i want in the day. i want to be different.

+ my holiday list aint fulfilled

i hardly watched any dramas

i didnt go wakeboarding

i hardly earned any money

lifesaving cert was useless

i should quickly get the part time job @ safra tampines so i can earn as i school. quick, before the assignments start piling in.

but im so excited for upcoming camps + trips!

minus the part when everyone else is free from As, going out and having fun while im still schooling. booooooo.

HORT PARK! wooohooo~

MAKE GOOD USE OF WHAT'S LEFT.

the pressure to enjoy.

a friend stabs you at the back
a boyfriend stabs you at the heart

a true friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone believed the smile on your face

6 September 2008

TVDY night @ New York New York.

long story for my own keepsakes:

korkor & i ate at the same place. he met his sec sch friends while i met mine so it was like a gm gathering haha we ate at the same place same time coincidentally. so we went back together. BUT it was one of the days korkor felt crazy and didnt want to go home so we went to shangrila hotel where daddy and mummy were having a wedding dinner. (MaeShan's) so we took a train and a bus and a cab from dont know where and finally reached. we explored shangrila and eventually found our way to the wedding area which was where we worked with jake & amanda sometime ago under 7yee's supervison. anyway, daddy came out while we were sitting outside and he brought us into the corner of the ballroom where they were seated. it was sooooo sneakily embarrassing because of all the 'where did you come from' and 'why are you here' and fingers pointing at us from far far away tables. HAHAHA. especially susanna. tsk. that sbs made me take home her extra tea heart-shaped spoon thingy because she had too many. feeling awkward, we went back out. outside, korkor & i counted the number of people coming out of this particular door. females - he gets a point, males - i get a point. we had so much boring fun we didnt want to stop counting. of cos he won, more women than men out of that door. we were saying how terrible were those who 'escaped' through the side door in order to take a shortcut and skip the queue of shaking the host couple & family's hands. and then our parents came by the shortcut too. boooya. 7yee drove home cos daddy had too much wine.

at home, i convinced mummy to pose for the camera and whoever knows her, please dont tell her i posted it up on my blog or she'll really kill me or sabotage me in one way or another sooner or later. somewhat like how jackson & his dad on HANNAH MONTANA pranked each other throughout one whole episode of hannah montana. yes, my brothers and i are faithful watchers of hannah montana & zack and cody on kids central - nevver miss an episode though sometimes it's just so stupid and zack and cody's hair are getting grosser each episode. removed the photo.

8 September 2008

met yc & mel - didnt photo :( and then mel & i went to valene's chalet. three of us are CANON girls please. val has a canon 950IS, i have an 850IS, i think mel's is IXUS 85? whatever. just all canon. too bad we couldnt stay for the bbq to meet the other b5 guys who were going! i had to collect my certs okay, mel. happy birthday val & darren anyway!

9 September 2008

packing my room & suffocating the dust mites & dead skin cells from my bed mates. it's really disgusting, somewhat like vacuumed frozen meat.

2008-09-13T20:43:00.000+08:00

"Its worse than losing a boyfriend..." Quoted by Deborah NOT-SO-DEMURE Lam, currently mourning the loss of her camera...

- TAY, S.J. AUDREY

i miss my camera already! IT IS WORST THAN LOSING A BOYFRIEND. not like i know how it feels like hahahaha!

XOXOX deborah demure lam.

2008-09-13T20:39:00.003+08:00

i tell you my cousins are crazyyyyyyy!

someone came up with the idea: "we just pick any guy up tomorrow and three of us take photo with the guys we picked up." so we were coming up with the possibilities and it's crazily hilarious. we're even drunk before we can HE XI JIU.

okay confidential information.

LOL.

2008-09-13T05:55:00.002+08:00

this week:

wed: 0930hrs - 1830hrs [9hrs]
thurs: 1000hrs - 0200hrs [16hrs]
fri: 2100 hrs - 0600hrs [9hrs]

9 + 16 +9 = 34hrs.

$250/34 = $7.30/hour

okay thats good pay i guess.
i realised i counted it wrongly yesterday.

but now since i've gotten the hang of it and i need the money so I AM PERSEVERING and praying that other places will NOT be like cck. this dislike for cck will probably haunt me for the rest of my life and i'll probably never ever go to cck ever again.

adriel, it's really not that bad.
just take the job:)

2008-09-12T20:37:00.003+08:00

i havent ran since like forever and today i ran 2.4km in 25 minutes HAHAHAHAHAHA. so malu.

and and...........im so emotionally attached to my camera, i cried after the CANON people told me that i'd probably have to get another camera.

it's a bad bad week.

still, i pray and pray and pray, i'll bug God and ask and ask that my camera will be fine and that i dont have to pay anything. pray with me if you will. i love my camera alot alot alot and daddy will not buy me a fourth camera because if this cam dies, it'll be the third that didnt last for more than a year. SUCKS that we spent another 100bucks on warranty if i have to buy a new one.

with love and care and hope and prayer,
DEBORAH.

i tell you, choa chu kang is the worst place to stay.
HOW DO PEOPLE THERE TRAVEL BY BUS?!
inaccessible, ulu, and out of nowhere.

from 10AM - 2AM [16hours] i've been sitting doing the whole 'easy' job thing and it's only HALF the job im going to do next week! not even worth the money im getting.

tomorrow i'll have to spend another ~5HRS doing.
yesterday i was at CCK from 0930hrs - 1830hrs [9hours].

this week:

total = 16+5+9 = 20hrs.

$250/20 = $12.50/hour. this week.

next week:

20 x 2 = 40hrs.
40hrs - 4 hrs (efficiency) = 36hrs

$250/36 = $6.90/hour.

even doing cpr on someone with bad breath pays more. and i mean, what are the chances. (that i'll save someone, not the bad breath part)

LOL(lots of love), deborah.

if you looked out of the mrt train at tanah merah station last sunday evening, you might feel some tremors, smell some bbq chicken wings & bbq stingray, see a father throwing his kid into the water, spot two grandmothers geleking in the pool and a family full of laughter.

my winning picture! :)
awesome camera skills!
and because im so proud of it, i watermarked it!

it all started when jie and i displayed the fun-ner forms of exercising.

when the fathers tried to tip us how to do it the right way and we were like YOU DO LAH and they did. HAHA! if jie's face could be seen, it would be another winning picture!

the older kids showing the younger boys that playing the psp is not always the fun-nest thing to do.

slowly one by one the boys agreed and joined in - we finally had a full force lam cousins jumping picture! =D too bad the lighting aint as awesome.

the brothers think their way of jumping is the best.

2008-08-18T01:27:00.003+08:00

if one day you ever get the chance to read my 20 books of journals.

im really relaxed considering the fact it's 0130hrs on the day of my exam. i have less than 10 hours to cram a whole sem's work into my small head but big brain and it's amazing how im still reading my present book of journal AND here blogging.

for the past hour i've been journalling, praising, laughing & reflecting. and im still smiling - the love of Jesus is really really awesome. and even though since i started school, my life hasnt been like awesomely wonderful, high and up, neither has it been the lowest point of my life. maybe socially but i finally know the meaning of the downs and the reason for the ups.

at least now im genuinely ~~happy~~ joyful!

happiness depends on happenings,
joy depends on JESUS!

im secretly waiting for survivor on teevee at 0230hrs.

good news, God finally finally gave me a word to GO AHEAD and i earned an air ticket to CAMBODIA! it's really amazing how he works, how little it may seem to others but how BIG it is to me. and when im regretting, wishing im in Singapore, at least i know God wants me there and where's a better place than the place you know God wants you to be? now, im still waiting for the green ticket to thailand.

start studying.

im beginning to love ~~SUNDAY SCHOOL~~ care group more and more and MORE. i absolutely love my original cg girls:) but today, i exceptionally thank God for putting the two groups together cos really, the discussions and getting deeper and and and im really excited that we're going SOMEWHERE now. thank God!

start studying.

i have alot of aims/plans for the holidays:) *winks-

start studying.

2008-08-17T00:10:00.002+08:00

for as long as i remember,
i've been having disturbed nights.

dreams after dreams after dreams.
each a different story,
each an adventure.
each recognises different fears,
each with a different interpretation.

i woke up this morning with swollen eyes.
i dont know if i cried all night,
or it was just the dust from the carpet.

i wonder what i will dream of tonight.
and i wonder if all my dreams have a meaning.

somewhat like Pharoah in Genesis 41.
im waiting for the mystery of my dreams to be revealed to me.

maybe it's about the decisions i have to make now.
and about the issues im running away from.
or desires i've been hiding and it's showing.
could it be the unrealisable goals deep within?

God im having exams,
why these dreams to disturb my rest?

Genesis 41

15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

16 "I cannot do it," Joseph replied to Pharaoh, "but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires."

Daniel 2

22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.

27 - 29
Daniel replied, "No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you lay on your bed are these:

"As you were lying there, O king, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen. As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than other living men, but so that you, O king, may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind."

may there be mysteries,
so that i may have a story.

2008-08-15T19:39:00.002+08:00

...and this poster got us an A+!

thank God:)

one down one to go =*)

2008-08-12T20:04:00.002+08:00

the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
- parental guidance.

i've not been to a funeral since my grandfather passed away ten years ago. the wake last night and the funeral this afternoon was really sad and touching. it was like, somewhere between a dream and a nightmare.

so many people popped up in my mind during the wake + funeral.

stop taking people for granted.

death may pop up anywhere. but after death there is life and i like how they state in the newspaper - 'went home to be in the safe arms of Jesus'.

even though i dont know the deceased, from these two days i know she was such a bubbly, caring, lovable, brave and someone who loves Jesus very much. she lived life to the fullest, had a wonderful family, an awesome core group of friends, touched many kids' life, made an impact on many people...

it must be tough to lose someone you love.
a best friend, a sister, a auntie, a daughter, etc.

her life has inspired me to live life to the fullest.
and to treasure who and what i have.

cliche.

2008-08-11T17:02:00.004+08:00

another death on 080808.

and another birth - clay aiken has a son, born on 0808hrs on 08/08/2008. so cool. but he's 29 and the woman is 50. and they claim to be not romantically linked. what.a.joke.

for the wind.

I AM OFFICIALLY A LIFESAVER! =D

yesterday was madness madness madnessssss.

we didnt even warm-up & had our test. in 3mins 15secs we're supposed to swim 50metres and tow someone for 50metres. all of us had cramp after coming up. was crazily pain! i came in barely making the time at 3mins06secs. and the guys could do it as fast as 2mins11secs. i can never take part in the olympics HAHA.

really really thank God i passed - left church reluctantly, was so worried about it and prayed hard for thunderstorm, broke the record of the shortest time spent at ikea, got intimidated by so many people taking the test, struggled through theory, and went to the pool hesitantly. but still, i passed. and seriously all kinds of people were taking the test. there's fat & thin, tall & short, old & young, nerd & beng + the oldest was like MY DAD'S AGE - 49 Y/O. omg omg. the tester was wearing this disturbing shorts and he made all of us read his name after the whole theory test. zzz so weirdly farney.

special thanks to: wan hsuan's sis & hilary for being my victim, zarra for the goggles in exchange for coach's laopok one and yvonee for revising with me everything! smiles.

whoa, four days to my exam.
please please please pray for me!

today, look at things differently.

~~i'll worry about that(cbd) and that(mc) and THAT(fd) later.~~

2008-08-09T10:12:00.004+08:00

the scrooge?

seriously i hate decisions i hate choices. i hate asking questions and i hate not being able to be part of things i feel i should be part of. but really, what is more important? what will God smile at? which will make a bigger positive impact on my life and on others? which will cause more pain and suffering? who needs me more?

either way, i have to get out of this safe zone i've worked hard to create. this safe zone i've been keeping for years and months and days.

behind closed doors.

There's a voice in the silence,
piercing the darkness of my own selfish soul
There's a cry deep within me, a yearning to feel you
I look to you, Lord

I can pretend I don't run from the feelings
I'm trying to hide
Must get the focus of me and my problems
I look to the cross

You are my Rock
On You I stand
Safe from the storms that surround me
You're my only Rock, In you I can
Don't have to rely on my own strength.

- You are My Rock.

sometimes i think im not 'christian' enough. my faith grows and shrinks, comes and goes. with faith so strong im willing to jump down from the seventh floor and land without a sratch. with faith so small, i just want to close my eyes and sleep forever and ever AMEn.

and everytime i ask mummy, to advise me on a decision, she'll say ASK GOD. WHAT DOES GOD TELL YOU? HAS GOD GIVEN YOU A WORD? I STAND ONLY ON GOD'S WORD. IF HE SAYS GO, I SAY GO.

sometimes it's nice to have a mother who's so rooted in God's word but reallllyyyy, it just intimidates me at times and boils me up. im like, i need the answer NOW! how do i listen for his voice? i wish i could just dial a number and speak to him. sometimes i just want to ask my mother, why cant you be more human and make a decision for me, disallow me to go to cambodia, make me stay in singapore. she wont. it's good and it's bad. and no matter what i dont know how to decide. how now brown cow.

TWO MORE EXAMS.

im starting to feel the holiday mood but really, i've nothing much to do. i've started on the watching shows already yaay:) HAHA!

studeeeeee studeeeee studeeeeeeee.

2008-08-05T00:14:00.002+08:00

i happened to read this today from yam's website - http://bmcyam.wordpress.com/ and it is thought-provoking.

How much is God worth to you?

One very sad recurring problem in Christianity is that we sing on Sundays, about how much we need God. And then on Mondays, we substitute Him the very second something else comes up.

Let me illustrate: a new job comes up, and we sideline serving God over the week in a church ministry. We transit from college to varsity and the schoolwork piles up, and guess who gets the cut - God. A business deal comes along, and when weighed against coming to the worship service or fulfill our responsibility in terms of ministry- and guess who gets cancelled more often than not.

It is telling that when life’s schedules beckon, that serving God takes the first cut.
Our jobs matter over ministry. Now do not get me wrong, if we actively minister through our jobs and share the gospel and reach out to hurting Christians in our work- that’s fine. But I’ve seen, that in most cases, people treat jobs as jobs and God doesn’t figure very much in their daily plans at work.

How much is God worth to you?
And what have your decisions in serving God through His ministry been saying about that?

It’s between you and God.
But remember, if God can get cancelled for a TV show, an exam coming up, a new job, a heavy work week, then what makes you think that you can stand when the end comes, and persecution heavier than the abovementioned distractions, comes our way?

One who cannot lift a 1kg weight, should not hope to be able to lift a 10kg one when it matters.

In Him,
Rev Joel Yang

and talking about YAM (Young Adult's Ministry).. someone mentioned casually on sunday that my age-group people will disappear soon after we 'graduate' from Frontliners (youth group). and i know it's true, but i really hope that person & i are wrong.

anyway i happened to go to jolene's blog too and found this link: http://www.charleneyl.blogspot.com/ it's clifton's girlfriend's blog.

i did a search on him (though i ought to start studying for fm test which is 10hours from now) and i found alot of blog posts about him. he shares the same surname as me - it made me feel goosebumps all over. it reminded me of alson - whom i dont really know but his death did affect me somehow. it also occurred to me that as we grow older, we would hear about more and more deaths - accdental or intentional. and closer and closer death gets to you.

it's funny how on earth we bear grudges and see the weaknesses of others more than we see their strengths. it's funny how just a little phrase or moment gets you to stop talking to another. and when that person is gone, you only remember all the good times, even miss the bad. people remember the strengths of that person and even remember their weakness with a smile. they regret not saying sorry - suddenly everything becomes their fault and not the fault of the dead person.

it's really easy to feel all sad and thoughtful, wanting to patch up all broken relationships and treasure everyone around them. but really, when i get out of this feel and this moment, i know i wont take the effort to do anything.

dry and wooden.
is it time to open the door?

2008-08-03T23:53:00.002+08:00

someone is ridiculously talking about dreading her birthday when her birthday is in september. hello FRIEND, mine's in two days! and wow i didnt know it was THAT close. even though i already celebrated once on sunday, it really doesnt feel special. like i hoped it would be cos eighteen is such a LOVELY number. but because of the piles of assignments and working late into the night with lack of sleeep, im so exhausted to even bother about my birthday.

i can imagine just me sleeping in the day and having a good dinner at night and the end of the eighteenth hahahaha. loser. but im sleepier. =*)

i just got a low attendance notice! HAHAHAH. i was actually waiting for it. just pray hard i wont be debarred from any modules or it'll just totally make me want to quit school again.

thirty three.

0310hrs.

im quite proud of my taxi & hopefully i wont spoil it tomorrow when i spray paint it. alot more work to do. + i ddont even know what im doing for my lesson plan tomorrow..... WHATEVER mannn. im just going to randomly come up with a plann tomorrow when i wake up from my three hours nap!

i am an ice cube. i like the COLD.
i dislike the SUN, it makes me feel weak all over.
my dream is to be, THE COOLEST EVER! :)

2008-07-14T14:26:00.009+08:00

2008-07-13T01:35:00.004+08:00

wow have you seen a wHOLE entire group of KC runners ranging from p6-sec2?! -wow- it's madness and crazy and mostly, NOISY. and i thought my cousins were bad....

THIS, was MY changi chalet.
it had an extreme makeover.
and now there's no more 'feel'.
like a 5 star resort now.
bet we wont find anymore rats there.

flat screen tv, 3 floors, an attic.
a suntanning area outside.
spoilt chairs and rocks,
replaced with wooden suntanning chairs.
rock tables & chairs,
replaced with a pavillion.
one whole chalet,
became two.

i remember that last night.
my eyes filled up with tears.
knowing that something you once had.
wasnt going to be yours anymore.
wasnt even going to be there at all.

well, it wAS home to us, ONCE.
what's left is memories.
so close to our hearts.

my teardrops on the sand.
my blood in the sea.
my DNA on the bedsheets.
my fingerprints on the tv.
the fibre of my clothes on the rocks.
my strands of hair in the toilet.

a big piece of my childhood buried underneath.
where the family ties strengthened.
where my heart softened.
where i spent time with my Father.
where i broke while i spoke.
where my burdens were washed away.
where the stars took my breath away.

just sweet memories. =*)

mostly, i missed the beach.
and the times i spent thinking.
and loving and smiling.

not many people have this privilege in life.
and instead of regretting that it's gone,
im thanking God i once enjoyed so much there.

SMILE!

mood: sentimental & thankful.

2008-07-11T03:57:00.003+08:00

i guess though groupwork gives you high blood pressure, it does make me want to do better than my best because it's not about 'me' anymore, it's about 'us'.

so anyway.
0400hrs.

im going to take a bath and go to sleep,
wake up in an hour and go to school for speech!

38days, 12 hours.

4 presentations,
2 group works,
2 individuals,
2 tests,
2 exams.

just three weeks and i'll be able to have some time of enjoyment before the real exams and then i'll have the buffet of life.

oh did i mention i passed LIFESAVING 1, 2 & 3? hahahha:) after my cPR & bM which is tougher cos it's not coach assessing, im going to be an official lifeguard mann how cool is that. i mean, how cool is just sitting down and observing people? HOT!

if God brings you to it,
He'll bring you through it.

i am finally beginning to understand the true meaning of that awesome phrase.

2008-07-09T17:49:00.002+08:00

i hate it when one comes right after i've finished the other.

i desperately want to sleeep.

please let me be,
please go away,
i am not going to get up today.

you can print it in the papers.
spread the news over town.
but nothing's going to get me up.
today i'm staying down.

- dr. suess book.

im so exhausted i want to sleep for the whole month of august after my exams. and it's only fair to my eyes & body & head that i do that.

off to swimming.
pray for me.
not to sleep.
in the pool.

if i really do, see you in heaven.
that's where i'll be,
definitely.

and i'd rather be there.
just for now.

2008-07-09T03:16:00.003+08:00

it's mad + CRAZY.

im turning eighteen.
and the future is so much closer.

we've got to start applying for uni soon if we want to go. (which i definitely want to)

my new obsession is art therapy.
and it's CRAZY.

cos if i study local, there's only one place.
LASELLE.

i have to take a bachelor degree in visual arts or psychology first.
and that sucks.

cos i cant do visual arts,
and psychology is CRAZILY popular now.

+ diploma is as CRAZY as it is.
i reckon degree wont be easier.

and masters in art therapy?

can i survive.
what if i die before that.
touchwood.

overseas?

i dont know if i can bear the discrimination.

it's aussieland like everyone.
or UK like no one.

definitely not taiwan or china,
language barrier.

so here i am.

trying to find the best route of life.
wishing again i had a remote control to life.

diploma.
bachelor.
masters.

what are these in God's eyes?

achievements,
or distractions?
or a tool for His glory?

what about the real meaning of life?

okay pooof!
burst that dream bubble.

back to music & movement.

sleeping hours screwed up.
slept 7pm - 1am.

it's 4am.
i still want to sleep,
at 6am - 7am.

before i set off to the ~~zoo.~~
to teach music & movement.

cant wait to end this line.

as a graduate in early childhood diploma,
what will i be? a zookeeper or a roadsweeper?

toodles.

im yawning till im crying.

I grew this heart into a drifter
I never felt the roots I bare
I sold my sight, oh brother, sister
For a mountain of fool's gold, it's gone
Only God knows, God knows where

it's going to be a long night.

listless.

Take me to the place lord
Where there’s nothing else but me and you
Longing for your presence
I know that you are calling me to you

only you Father, only you.

2008-07-06T03:34:00.001+08:00

i once asked yvonee & those others still serving in gb - WHAT DO YOU DO IT FOR? sock teng replied, "you go and see for yourself lah."

today i realise.
it's the passion.
and the fun.
and the joy.
of seeing change happen.
changes for the better.

my girls are so grown-up now! =*)

i heart gb!

Track and field prospect Jannah Wong wins 80m hurdles gold
July 3, 2008

Story and pictures by Leslie Tan

Bishan Stadium, Thursday, July 3, 2008 - Jannah Wong of Katong Convent Primary won the 80m hurdles this afternoon in 14 seconds flat with a 3-step hurdling technique, a rare technical achievement for a primary school track and field athlete. The technique is seen regularly only among secondary-level athletes while most of the primary-level hurdlers were taking at least four to five steps between hurdles.

“My coach, Mr Lim, taught me the technique. It was hard to learn it,” said Jannah after the prize giving ceremony at the National Inter-Primary Track and Field Championships. ” I only started doing the hurdles this year and it is stressful and painful!” said the Primary 6 student whose personal best is 13.53s for the event which she achieved in the heats.

“She’s very dedicated,” said Mr Lim Tiang Quee, her coach, who used to hold the national long jump record and has been involved in coaching since 1956. “And her parents are supportive too which is important. She’s willing to work 4-5 times a week. Up to now, this is the first time in 50 years of coaching that I have seen a primary school hurdler do the 3-step technique.”

Jannah is an exciting prospect because she is one of the rare few at primary level who is able to take only three steps between hurdles.

how could this be the same crazy girl who drooled on me?

hahaha SO COOL PLEASE.
im so absolutely proud of my cousin!

one day my entire clan is going to be at the olympics cheering for her mann:)

2008-07-04T02:13:00.002+08:00

aww come on!

for the past two hours i've been wasting time trying to coax my printer. it has really lousy mood swings and i hate it when it happens at the wrong time.

im sooooo tired.

there's test & attachment tmr & i havent come up with the music lesson. i dont like music, not much. i dont know what's the difference between beat & rhythm! and. i. cant. be. bothered. i remember how deb started playing drums in cm & all of us went to learn. but out of about 4-5 of us, she's probably the only one still drumming! HAHAHA not my cup of tea.

fixing my printer.

MS word hung about 5 times + restarted com 3 times +

why is this happening to me?
it's not the printer it should be.
i've waited for so long,
for that time to come.
the time i get to print.

2008-07-03T17:29:00.003+08:00

i really feel nauseous doing fm.

if darius' tuition teacher is right, P&L is screwed.
but im not gonna change it, to complicate matters.

i hate groupwork.
one word to describe teamwork: compromise.

nothing wrong with teammates.
just that different people have different views.
and i have to learn to accept that.

in every group it happens.

whether you argue or laugh it off.
you just have to voice your views,
and listen to other people's perspectives.

we'll just wait & see the results then!

so who's right and who's wrong.
we'll only know at the end.

but when we know what's wrong,
we wont know what's right.
and when we know what's right,
we wont know if the other was better.

so if what we did was wrong, what else can we do?
nothing else but blame.

blaming is merely shifting the responsiblity,
and self-consolation, to make another feel guilty.
i wont want to be in either spot,
it's a lose-lose situation.

but if you were sure you were better,
why dont you speak up. oh right, nobody hears.
i want a remote control in life.

if i do this, FORWARD to see what happens.
eww no good, REWIND.
try another option. FORWARD.
better but may not be the best, REWIND.
try again. FORWARD.
no good, let's do option 2 then!

if life was that way,
everyone would be perfect.
at least stupid decisions wont be made.
and absolutely no regrets at all.

God make imperfection.
He made me.

i guess that's how he reminds us time and time again that WE NEED GOD.

-frustration-

2008-06-30T21:16:00.004+08:00

im signing up for all the one year memberships before im 18 cos it's cheaper! HAHAHA. cheap thrill.

my list is getting longer and longer and longer. im really greeeedy!

2008-06-30T01:09:00.003+08:00

so dead.
0109am.
i need to do aw.

no sleep tonight.

i realised my bathing time has increased over the past 2weeks. from half an hour to one hour. it means my thinking has doubled. i think so much more now. and thats bad.

it'll be funny if you see someone you know in your friend's photo background.

i've been sending out alot of random email to random people. not personal email kind but official emails kind.

i want to be a lawyer. or a doctor. or a nurse. forensic officer. i want to take up interior design and design on it's own. i want to do mass com. i want to be a photographer. i want to be a beautician. i want to be an artist. i want to set up my own business.

i really do.

it's been a long time since i took part in any competitions. and i miss competing, and winning. i want to specialise in something. and compete, and win. something that showcases my talents. but really, what talents do i have?

i miss the feeling of winning. and the determination to do better after losing.

i want to learn figure-skating. or do well in rockclimbing. or be a wakeboarding star.

people dream at night. i dream all day and all night.

mummy says "jack of all trades and master of none" will get nowhere. but im not convinced. i think that the 'jack of all trades' has many backup plans and thats what i love.

im commitment-phobic.

look below my tagboard!
did anyone notice my holiday list at the side after my tagboard?
and the countdown to the holidays?

everyday i add to my list of things i want to do during holidays.
and wow i sure want to do alot of things during my 2 months...
and i think im almost packed already!

im already looking for jobs:)

i learnt some html today while helping taikuku with her webby.

anyone you know who has reading or writing disabilities?
http://helpinliteracy.weebly.com/

wah and that day jess showed me a tuition assignment of two p1 & p2 boys living in bedok reservoir AND guess what, i suspect it's the two boys i was tuitioning! HAHAHA. i cant imagine how paiseh i would be if i took up that assignment and realise it's the same parents i told that i have no time to tuition their kids. i'd probably hide in a hole and just not face the world.

anyway im thnking if i should volunteer at Children's Cancer Society.
http://ccf.org.sg/volunteers/vol_role_direct.html
i dont know if i am emotionally prepared to see children i know passing away.

i really should learn to sleep early.

sun 0230
mon 0230
tues 0330
wed 0130
thur 0430
fri 0300
sat 0200
sunday (29/06) - ~~0300~~ 0500hrs

my timing has changed so much that the day i sleep = the same date i wake up. i can even change my good nights to good mornings and "im tired, i think i'll sleep early ~~tonight~~ tomorrow". i bathe in the middle of the night i think im gonna get rheumatism soon.

change change change!

2008-06-27T08:44:00.001+08:00

2008-06-26T23:54:00.002+08:00

because the whole week has been about cca & cca points

i pray hard the cca points will come rolling in soon for:
- 60hrs of Skill.
- 40hrs for Physical (swimming).
- 20hrs of Service.

what's left for NYAA Gold:
- 40hrs of Service.
- 4days 3nights in tent.
- Residential Project. (in cambodia)

CCA points in the future:
- 1 for NAPFA hahaha.
- 4 for NYAA Gold.
- lifesaving?

is cca points reallly that important?

like melisa & friends, they volunteer at red cross without expecting anything. i need to learn that. to go for the ultimate prize and not just the worldly ones.

points i never got:
- art therapy.
- puppetry.
- art of love.
- awwa fsc.

im volunteering at CCS because it's sooooo exciting! of course the points are an incentive, but definitely not the sole reason for voluntary work! right, HOPEi'en?

WOW!

2008-06-23T21:45:00.002+08:00

HO Pei'En gave me HOPE!

art therapy?
no just mayc for now.

2008-06-22T23:49:00.005+08:00

if i had a dog, i'll name it peek-a-boo. so i can really say the line "it's just me and you and my dog named boo." cool eh. i think it is, really.

i thought of that when i thought of uncle j. since vbc'06 'WHO AM I', he's been asking me if i still design & draw stuff. he's the only one who recognises my artistic talents! and that camp was just after my olevels; oh ya and prom night at the same time as camp.

anyway i was not in any groups, just a 'calafair' so i wasnt really listening to the sessions (oops!) and was drawing... SO, i happened to feel nice and all sentimental so i drew something for almost everybody. and uncle j who was sitting beside me, asked me to draw one for him. i did, and he told me it's still at his office's table! seriously, it feels good that someone appreciates what you do so much that after a year plus he still keeps it - office desk some more. wow! it's just like how my bro keeps nikki's drawing of his name behind his psp cos it's super nice, and how i still keep tanya's photoframe on my messy table. HAHAHA.

today he asked me again "are you still drawing all your nice pieces?" i remember last year he asked me if i went to a design course. i said no, and kept thinking if i was in the wrong course the whole of that night. yes, so tonight i am wondering again. im so sick of regretting and with my fickle-mindedness, i foresee a future with me changing jobs ever so often. oh now you know why i dont have a boyfriend, i cant decide which guy to choose. hahaha JOKING okay.

and after reflecting, i feel bad. cos cos cos i sort of ignored him, didnt give him eye contact today, answered him with a single no. im sick of telling people im in ech. nothing to be proud of really. see the faces of the people you tell, nothing to be proud of. their face falls from interest in what course you're in to oh okay thanks for telling me, gross, bye. or some just tries to make me feel better by saying nice things. appreciated, but i still feel bad about being in ech. maybe that will change in the future when i proudly say I AM FROM NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC IN THE FAR FAR AWAY LAND CALLED CLEMENTI , SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES, EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, WOOHOOO~! YAAY ME THIS ROCKS! okay that was so fake.

but you know, certain talents arent meant to be nurtured. not yet at least. i can do that when im free from education. oh, that would mean when im old. maybe when im (2/3 x 81) 54 years old i'll do what i really love. that'll be to stay in australia, shake leg, go to work for an hour, get bored and go home to shake the other leg, watch teevee while shaking my jaws with food in it, eating subway for dinner before all the shops close at 6pm. woohoo~ coolios. maybe i'll change the destination over time, but the routine will more or less be the same. anyway seriously, today i met S and even though she's awesome at artsy fatsy stuff, she specialises in something else..and she's happy happy happy happy!

ech is so broad. i could be a businesswoman, a nanny, an advisor, a teacher, a banker, an accountant, a superviser, a health officer, a nurse, a doctor, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a person who escorts kids who travel alone, a play therapist, a speech therapist, a senior security manager of the richest kids in the world, a bodyguard, a promoter, a journalist, an editor, a researcher, a personal assistant, a maid, anything in the world. even a rich taitai. oh mann so cool im starting to love it a teeny weeny bit (except the maid part)! maybe that's why im even more uncertain yet excited about what God is going to use me for.

im imperfect, that's why i know God will use me.

and if i dont stop blogging and talking to myself now, i'll probably have even more imperfections. on my face that is. did i mention i have the awesomest pimple party on my forehead? it really looks like they're having fun there cos IT'S NOT GOING OFF. and the twin eye bags below my eyes, it's in love with my cheeks and if i keep being lack of sleep, they'll soon have a 喜临门 (double happiness) chin-dian reunion dinner. what an abstract thought. wow im even artistic in thinking!

....and i really wanted to blog about a childhood memory playback in bmck :(

today is such a random unique day - with pepper lunch and subway. i hope it will pay when i chiong all the way, till the 20 august day, where i'll drift far far away, have fun in the bay eating sakae. that's so gay, it's no longer may. but i think i'll be okay, though it's too early to say.

you know it's not me when i rhyme but someone else with time. remember what i said about dime and getting old in the crime? when the sign comes with a lime, you know it's the prime. just go and dont whine, say goodbye in the line.

do YOU know what the real spelling for 'calafair' is?

enjoy school.

-whatanoxymoron-

2008-06-22T22:36:00.001+08:00

u are the one contestants - the twins - they have the same birthday as me just that they are one year older! hahahaha. okay so random.

let's start the partaye!

2008-06-21T17:43:00.004+08:00

BMC FAMILY CAMP '08

1-14: the advanced party:) tays + lams!
15: bats in the hotel, that one we named batbat it's so cute but it died soon after.
16: my grandmothers playing card fishing.

taken from the swimming pool:)

more swimming pool shots courtesy of leslie's awesomely cool underwater OLYMPUS camera! but i still support CANON cos it's the bestest:)

comparison of cameras. sidetrack a little, i used to not even consider canon for their cameras cos they're superbly ugly but i must say it's improving and i so dont regret having a canon cam! wooohooo~ if you want to buy a cam, BUY CANON! olympus for underwater is special, but taikuku's is super lousy. 7yee's nikon is not bad but it takes blur pics so often..and whenever we take the same pictures, mine always looks nicer! panasonic, the one i had before, i hated the flash cos everything became bright instead of dark. and without the flash, it's rather blur. but it's okayyyy. exilim, love the effects like the double face thing but i tried to look for it, seems like there is very little of that effect left and though abby, seikuku like casio exilim, i think the quality is okay only lah. they should just concentrate on their watches though! haha fine im biased! GO FOR CANON!

pool table which we cheated alot by putting cups in the hole so we wont have to add credit in again. and the balls are only red & yellow, so unprofessional! hahaha. the nice room from 7yee's room where i slept for 2/4 nights! and my roommate 7yee & lydia:)

leslie's niece who's oh-so-chubbily cute! reminds me of me when i was young hahaha SO PUI. and taikuku always tell me when i was an infant she couldnt bring herself to say so cute so she'll just go: "so....chuchuchu." hahahaha!

some of the youths on the last day!

1: phoebe i asked her if she remembered me playing with her when she was younger and she doesnt remember! :( but at least we're friends now!
2: lucas & darren the cute and noisy boys whom 7yee has to look after!
3: natalie my good friend with a cute brother and very nice parents.
4: TJ only wants to take a picture when i am in it! so i had to take with my grandmother and him!
6: smiles.
7: roommies!
8: TJ
9: laughs.

the nice scenery..
(mostly taken while waiting for the super long lift!)

2008-06-20T12:19:00.005+08:00

im sick and i have to do my MAYC lesson later with super high kids i dont feel like teaching anymore. sian my mood has been really bad these days and it doesnt help that the parents are going on their anniversary honeymoon. first sangklaburi, then church camp which i didnt see them often cos i was staying a floor down and then now they're off to batam again. thatsucks really. i feel like a neglected kid with separation anxiety even though i am eighteen in a month. BLEH. i just want to stay home and sulk. i want to quit being a student but i know i cant and i wont. im tired of all the nonsensical regrets. regret comes only when it is too late. i always tell myself there is no use regretting but i still regret. gross. but i know even if i had taken the other route i would regret not coming into this route. that sucks. cos i would be looking for other options and i'll still end up in this route, just two years later. the grass is always greener at the other side. im the quiet study, do-it-myself type of person. i dont want to do projects, i dont want to work with people and mostly, i dont want to teach. whats the point of putting in so much effort? i'll be getting a meagre pay and parents will just keep complaining and the kids wont even remember you. i just want to study and get good grades like in secondary school but that's all in the past isnt it. rahhhhhhhhhh. i wish i had gone to jc, at least that's where everyone is. and even though i would study and go mad, i probably would care much more. stupid diploma. i want to go overseas, to the far far away land. where there's no sucky education system. well at least in heaven there are no assignments and i dont have to make choices. there'll be no time constraints and no clock ticking every second to remind you of datelines. can i please please please please give up? GOD! faints i have a fever.

2008-06-17T23:31:00.002+08:00

im getting sick of all the lifesaving techniques but i'll hang on cos i need the kaching$ for renovating my messy room.

i need to take a cold bath.
it's HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT.

back to school next week, i think im not the only one who turned dark over just 2weeks!

im so tired but i need to get started with work. tomorrow, yes tomorrow. fm tomorrow with the girllls..i pray we'll get over and done with that proj! after that im gonna be studying, working & doing assignments the whole of thursday! yuppppp. call me diligent deborah:)

after 3 attempts of looking for a proper place to pierce my ear, i think i'll go bits & pieces. tskkkk! and all the ppl i want to pierce with are so hesitant lah hahaha! damn sad please. couz-A-square have to wait till As are over. rachh and i couldnt find a decent place! oh i cut my hair today but nobody realises i did! it's $10 only lah..

swimming today:
calorie intake > calories burnt

we should swim more next time lah yvonee!

oh and i met exbestfriend today AGAIN. shopping with TWO girls!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHH HONGX!

*hugs-

super whatever post.

2008-06-16T18:33:00.002+08:00

im quite sian cos there aint much of the holidays left. and my first week was spent at church camp. i dont regret going but i should have done something there at least. instead of being in the swimming pool getting a tan and caming in the pool. hahaha. yes. but i had fun and an awesome time catching up with my cousins aud & manda!

i slept most of today away, until like 4pm though i was supposed to go swimming at 9am. i feel super bad but then i was really tired. swimming tomorrow? maybe. maybe not. im packed this whole week and planned it such a way that i'll have my attachment & lessonplan on thursday BUT just now i called and they said they're going on an outing on thursday so i have to find another day! tomorrow is so out cos i have an appt to cut my hair and pierce my ear with my couz and i probably have swimming too plus im not prepared! wednesday im doing my projects with the girls for the whole day. and friday im supposed to go for b5 outing which i really really wanna go! looks like i cannot go now ): and im super upset about that.

what kind of holiday is this mann.

i was reading my past journal cos i was looking for something. joanne asked me to join a ministry yday and i said i'll pray about it. special proj ministry. when i was bathing i was thinking abt it and i remembered writing in my journal, telling God that i'll join a ministry in june'08. i was looking for it in my journal, which is quite hard to look for that one line cos my journal is FULL OF NONSENSE, RANTINGS, LOVE, PRAYERS, ETC. it could be anywhere! to cut the story short, i found it and true enough it was stated there. "God, give me until JUNE'08" on 19feb entry. it IS june'08 but i still wanna run away from the responsibilities and commitments. still praying about it though..

im waiting for august hols so many things i wanna do. im so sleepy & drained now though i slept for 14hrs straight! dinner tonight at lam's resaurant located at little east india. hahaha.

time management,
God, please help!
