woah, finally after a loooong week i could update..! =]
last week fri, cellgrp mtg was held at vivo..it was not a cgm actualli, its a more of a fellowship outing.. went to "GALLERY" wiv chormay n vincent b4 mtg xue en.
saw alot of interesting stuff at national geographic at vivo! i saw alot of furniture dat i love!
tis was sold ad more than 10k, if im not wrong..9k plus? forgotten! im sure alot of ppl hav seen this at vivo. if i cn afford it, i will put it outside my gate to scare off burglars!
(does this look giangantic too?)
(actualli it is onli this small!)
if i were to deco my room, i want my future room to look artistic yet sophisticated at the same time! probably white walls wiv alittle deco. eg....
(wallpapers like artistically taken photos..)
(wooden "natural feel" bench-sofa.) looks quite hard to jump on =x
(soft but solid-looking pepples cushion) its nice to squeeze u noe!
(this is my fav! i've always wanted a retro looking cabinet instead of a all-pinkish-girly one!) i realli lvoe it! its so sweet..all my treasure gonna goes in!
(the design is realli hand-drawn n painted! that's wad made it special!) btw it cost 4k 0r 40k.. i forgot! its jus a veri exaggerated cost!
( this is one of my fav too! i hav always wanted to own a telescope! den i cn zoom in frm my room n look at the stars! hopefulli planets too! maybe this shall be my nxt bday wish! bt it's gonna cost alot to get a gd one..)
last sunday went for strikeforce AMAZING RACE and dinner..its kinda fun actualli, starts to love this ministry even more! im so glad that becus of this ministry, my sister and cg member is getting more stable in church! now i find that i nid not find a reason animroe to persuade her to church.. qiyin and eugenia loves strikeforce drumming training! n i love it too =]
although it all starts wiv the basics, but we still enjoy it. got to know alot of new frens in SF too! now my sis n qiyin and mi have more common church frens! this gives us no excus not to fellowship. i think SF is cool, not onli does it pull my relationship wiv my sis n member closer, but also develop common interest! that's great! now easier to get my sis n qiyin down to mtgs at riverwalk and ymca, as they r getting use to my smses and easier to relate. xD
we realli enjoyed the outings n stuff, n often talk about it. hopefulli n prayfulli this excitement and common interest will last!
none of us has actualli perform during NDP, n this shall be a gd chance to join in the drumming in strikeforce to perform. more gigs coming up, i guess this means that our r/s will grow stronger! a ministry realli root ppl to church..
some pics taken during strikeforce amazing race.
(one of the challeng: form sth interesting wiv ur ic cards n take a pic of it) SNAP!
CHALLENGE 2: pose a funni or creative pic. (obviousli this failed..the jump shot is blurry!)
due to bad effects of the burry jump shot, RED, one of our team member came up wiv a terricfic plan to pose.. he pretended he was falling dwn frm storey 2! n some of us pretended to hook him up, n some of the others pretended to be sabotaging, pulling him dwn. my sis say she thought Red is a girl becus the pic depicted him quite girlishly. he's a REAL man! angmoh wiv really cool reddish-orangey hair. he sudies in lasselle.
ok, this is pretty cute. human alphabets! we are actualli forming the word HEART. but due to shortage of members, we can only do a panaromic shot. so we combine all the 4 shots tght to form the letters bit by bit to HEART! pretty creative huh.. i didnt thought it will wotk out well. although the letetrs r not that obvious, but we had fun.
HEART
this is another creative shot.. drew, ah drew.. so ke lian! he's the lightest! so he is often carried! (acting n pretendign to be smashing his head to a door!)
last few days, i came across a tv show featuring reali old shows.. n this is very interesting and caught my attention! i rmb i watch this when i was arnd 6 yrs old! these boys in the shows were older than mi that time when i was watching the show! they should be older than i am now! wonder how they look like now..lotsa memories
after training on this monday, was cheered up by this scene. the sky was purplish-pink at dawn! pretty sweet. its alrdy 7plus nearing 8pm. was tired after lessons yet 5.45pm still got training,lucki its not a harsh one.. reached home arnd 8 plus. nearing 9pm. my day jus ended like tat!
it was crosscountry nationals this wed! frm now on, i heard that nationals timings will be altered to morning. last time it use to start at noon. i rmb last yr rained heavily which was held at botanic garden, NUS. this yr held at bedok reservoir, TP. lots of VS ns VJC guys came dwn to support. as usual, VS and VJC won alot of medals. st nic girls too! i tink dey got almost the whole level of sec3 dwn! it seems like it..LOL

today is a happy day overall! went to riverwalk again for dev zone mtg.. Dev gave bible study and some talks from pastor ck. thought they are laying hands today, maybe its tomorow. =]quite stress recently..usually when im stress i flare up easily and get into fights with my parents..felt quite stupid for flaring up! urgh..gave in to the devil and started shouting AGAIN! when i thought i was ending a day quite fruitfully as i finally got myself to revise and do my econs assignments,in the end when i went home, got into a "for nth" arguement wiv my mom again! hais! regreted that.. dunoe tmr still got pocket money or not hahas~!tmr training day again. missed 2 trainings this week! woke up late and stuff.. im lazi! giving myself excuses that im "sick" must be from the DEVIL! hais!!! i alrdy run so slow still laze arnd and dont even buck up! aiyoyo! =/i have alot of dreams and "need to do"s not fufilled!be a fashion designerbring in a cluster of innovians to churchrun 10min for 2.4kmrun below 24mins for 5kmgo for another triathlonbe a drummerget at least 75% for econsmt up wiv sec sku frensown a catstart serving the elderly in churchown a big hse to shelter over the poor and my family clear my room receive a revelation on evangelism..gotta work hard on tat! i miss alot of ppl who were part of my life last yr n dat dey are now gone frm my life..if u r reading this and u are not in my life now, YES! IM TALKIN ABT U! i miss violet alot too.. always want to contact her in the end too busi.. busi is just an excuse.. i miss the time we chat and laugh tgt! now she completely disapear frm my life T.T i felt veri sad abt this..i miss weetong too! always want to call and chat wiv her, in the end onli view her blog to see her postings cus of "busi" again.. i miss chunheng when he was still hanging out wiv violet and mi.. i miss zhi peng,jupri,sean! rmb the days tat we still joke abt ppl's bad habits..i miss my sec4 1st half of yr! alot happen to mi then.. i miss the days dat im so fortunate to have true frens! miss some of my church frens hu were once part of my life but now "gone" frm mi..some backslided. i cant explain how i feel now when i start to rmb how fortunate i was once. i should had treasured those days if i've known all these will be taken away from mi wivout my control and notice..but life still hav to move on. i hav to pretend to move on even though im not, sometimes.. when i listen to some songs,memories of my dearest fren came to mi.another thing that troubled mi seriousli is my grandparents. they had YET been saved, but i know eventually they will. but sometimes becus of waiting for a miracle, i grew tired and almost felt like giving up. someone once told mi if my granparent have stepped into church, they cant possibly run away from salvation anymore. it will eventually come unto them. i know when im saved, my whole household will be saved! but im desperate to see my grandparents get saved right this minute! despite having to study,i will make an effort to visit my grandparents at least once a week,thats not enough for mi.. i love them so much. just last week, when i was sitting dwn after dinner at their hse, suddenli i felt that God look thru my eyes completely. i dunoe how to explain this but it seems like im in the shoe of another and i suddenly woke up and see my grandparents,uncles,aunties,cousins, walking around mi,doing their daily routine..and salvation has not come upon them,i suddenli visualise not seeing them in heaven, how does that feel.. that felt utterly depressing! seeing my grandpa walk past mi,imagining him not in heaven,imagining him in...i felt so depressed and started feeling a burden to bring them to christ. i cried on the spot while siting dwn,watching them walking past mi to and fro doing their own stuff. i hide my tears and pretend nth happen. if i were to tell them wad i was thinking, they would hav said i am crazi. i held my tears and ran home. i couldnt stop crying, the more i think abt it, the more i let it out. i wanted to tell my sister eugenia wad i felt then but she was busi using her lappy. i just burst into tears infront of her uncontrollably,bearing the depressing thoughts in my mind.she scolded mi as i couldnt bring myself to tell her how i felt as i couldnt even speak properly. the next day, the same feeling came to mi again, everywhere i walk, i see ppl wiv no aims,some has yet to receive christ,some are quite old and not much time left to get in contact with the gospel. i felt a heavy burden upon mi.. i wanted to tell someone how i felt,but nobody was there to listen to mi. and whenever i felt that feeling, i feel like breaking dwn. i noe crying cant help the situation, but its just a way of releasing my feelings and stress.
well that feeling lasted in mi still, i felt quite helpless to get my grandparents to church..i suddenly realise they are old! they hav grown old! =[ wad made mi burst into tears is tat when joy saw mi crying,she ask mi why i cry. den i tell her y,thinking that she wouldnt know wad im tinking abt. den she told mi dat my grandma told her dat she is dying soon. it hurt my heart so badly.. y would my grandma suddenli tell a 7 yr old girl abt her death? i ask my sister joy y my grandma suddenli said this. and she answered that becus my ah ma want to tell her that when she is not arnd,we must learn to cook ourselves and buy our own food becus she canot be arnd to cook for us. it hurt my heart so badly! pls pray for my grandparents to receive salvation too. i love them alot but sometimes dunoe how to express my love to them..

looong POST
I CANT BREATHE! so busi wiv sku work..cca,projects,mtgs..haven updated my blog for 2 whole week! hahas..finally a time to reflect in blog!last last saturday was great! it was my grandfather birthday! my ah gong is 70 now! so fast.. i dun wan my ah ma ah gong grow old..i love them alot and i dun wan them to be old! my ah ma is turning 63 this yr. as usual, we went to book 2 tables at the coffee shop. its so fun to gather with all my family members. =] my uncle so funi! to save some cost, instead of ordering drinks at the coffee shop dat is sold at $1+, he bought can drinks (50cents each ) in bulk at a convenient store nearby and hide it under our tables..! so when the drink server is not there, we will just take out 1 can drink and put on out table to make it seems dat we ordered frm them. cus we r not allowed to bring in outside drinks LOL.. gosh, we almost forget that some brands of the drinks r not sold at the coffeeshop, so we look arnd other tables to see wad brand of drinks they had ordered. then we realise they onli sell seasons and F and N brand instead of yeos, so we pour our drink into the cups and throw back the cans into our plastic bag. SO FUNNI!! it was the fun of the hiding of cans dat i enjoyed,instead of the satisfaction dat i get from the drink surprisingly! (table 1)
(table 2)
(eugenia sis with ah gong and ah ma)
(joy and zayne wiv mi. i tink i look like a mother LOL =X)
took alot of pics wiv my ah ma and ah gong dat day..and we bought a fishing rod for ah gong as birthday gift. he seems to like it alot! and the next day, joyjoy begged
ah gong to bring him to go fishing ,as my mom also bought a beginner fishing rod for her too =D
(pic of joy sis holding on to her new fishing rod. LAUGHS! she use my ukelili bag to store her stuff. dun u tink she look like a musician on a street begging for money?) 
after eating dinner, we went back to grandpa's hse to chat and took more pics!
(me, eugenia sis, ah ma, cousin. i tink my ah ma so cute! i like the way she laugh and smile! xD) 
(AH GONG and her grandaughters)
(cousins pic)
(ah gong so shy!)
(say cheese! ah ma bogay! =x)
The next day, sunday, i woke up at 7am plus to meet up with church members to go and do community work and serve the elderly at tiong bahru CC, as there is a health screening project there. its quite enjoyable actualli. i enjoyed chatting with them. i tink i realli like to do it n hope to do it more often! even if i cant help them much, but i want them to feel that they are not alone. alot of them have families and i pray that their families don't neglect their needs, as i dun see alot of people accompanying their mother or grandmother down to take the health test.. =/
the whole of my weekdays were spent in school as usual, ccas trainings, staying back for projects, studying, lectures, tutorials, homework.. i am so disappointed in myself for sleeping so much.. i cant control myself but to sleep and neglect my homework and revision! however i did study for my test.. but realli last minute.. failed econs test,geog surprise test! T.T awfully sad... i realise i have to change, and for my last test dat i took, i took 2 and a half hours to revise. pray that i will at least score 75% for it! I PRAY THAT I CAN SURVIVE WITH LESS SLEEP,AND REVISE MORE! hahas!
last sat, instead of studying, i decided to take a break to breathe some fresh air after completing my projects.. but still hav alot of assignments to do and lots of lecture notes to revise before lesson! anyway, went to sizzler with my mom and sisters to enjoy buffet! yea.. i love sizzler and swensens! cus i love buffets alot! took some pics wiv my sistas and mom. everytime my mom take photo wiv us, she look like our big sister, dun look like our mother! lols! (proud dat my mom is so young!}
(eugenia,me,mom,gladys)
my dad joined us at sizzler after he knocked off frm work. as he is resting......(continue beloW)
joyjoy tried to snap a pic of him resting! 
den my papa found out and caught her red handed! hahas.. and he laughs..( ps: my dad veri fit right! so proud of him dat he realise his dream of becoming a california gym instructor!)
finally now i cn talk about my most recent week, which is this week..!
this recent tues, sth worthy to be happy about took place! my mom bought a bunny for joyjoy! now our family has an extra member! yeah! we had always wanted another younger sister or younger brother, but my mom factory closed (ligation)... my mom love baby alot, and my dad like animal too. so i tink getting a bunny is sth we all rejoiced about! esp joy! she love small and cute animals! at first we wanted to get a puppy seriously,but after much consideration, we bought a bunny instead. not that it is much cheaper, it is that we cant take care and train the puppy often as our whole family will be out working and studying in the afternoon. bunny is much convenient as we need not spend as much time on it compared to a puppy.
today is the 5th day that our new family member jus moved in with us.. we still loved it alot. everyday i come home, it will jus jump up to the front of it's cage and look at me with those big and sparkling eyes! as though it is greeting me and welcoming me back home. hahs! whenever i see it looking at me,i stroke its head and saiyung it. so cute! its so small!
my mom treat the bunny very good! she every night rch home,1st thing she do is say " baby! mommy come home alrdy!" my mom will jus carry the bunny up and start to clear the cage and add some food for it. she will then talk to it and stroke it.. so sweet right? sometimes she will say " see , da jie is here.. " to the bunny. (ps; da jie is me) my mom loves the bunny alot, she's not the only one who talks to the bunny, everyone in the house does except my papa. he is a kinda shy person.. when my mom first time ask my dad to carry the bunny, my dad say that he don't want. but deep down, i know he wants to carry it very much as he loves cats and animals. so my mom just squeezed the bunny into my dad arms and let my dad try carrying it even though he says "no'! lols! i can tell that my dad likes the feeling of stroking it.. hahas, he seems to care for the bunny too! he even thought of making a wire gauze in the cage for convenience of my mom clearing the bunny's waste. haahs!
joy names the bunny "BABY"
(gladys carrying the baby bunny!)
(joyjoy loves Baby)
the rest of this recent week i didnt did much.. so not much to talk about.. oh yea! my leg is still sore, but i am glad dat i am getting use to the sore! i had made up my mind to perservere on for running even though im not improving very fast. i will try my best! this wed during training did some run around the hall when it rain for 30 mins..i ran really really slow..hope to catch up soon. thurs we had pe, which means running again.. ran for 1.6km arnd our sku nearby "teletubby hill" and took timing, after dat did some shuttle runs. friday ran alttle again for house mtg. our tchr in charge allow us to play the ODAC game! so cool.. its a container, and we are suppose to wear helmet and go into the container and find our way out. its realli dark in there dat i cant even see my hands even if i put it infront of my eyes. it was like im blind! inside was the container were made of conrete and stoney surroundings. we were made to crawl and climb as the hole was too small for us to stand to find out way out of the container trap. there were cc tv inside to monitor us! so hot inside, but realli fun! like OBS like dat! i hold on to shu rou and rachel lead the way out as she was the first to get in. there were some traps in there! if we drop in one of the hole, we will lost our way and have to climb back up again blindly.. its fun! so i did it the second time, and this time i know the way so i feel my way thru and lead jasree as she is playing it for the 1st time. had great fun in the small and dark container! yeah! saturday which is today, i went for TRYATHLON! my time has come! i hav long waited for this! i woke up at arnd 5 plus this morning and went off to meet my frens and went tgt to sentosa. on the way, saw alot..i meant ALOT of ppl hu r wearing the milo tee for the triathlon. woah..so mani ppl woke up as earli as we did to get rdy!( waiting for mrt to harbour front )
we took some pics and rushed off to pick up our rented bike and park it at the picking up point. we forgot to print our E-ticket to claim our bikes so we did not know wad to do.. thx God, the person in charge keyed in our data record for our sku and recognized that we did placed a rental for the bikes so we do no t need to present our E-ticket to claim bikes! hahs! took pics wiv everyone from individual category before we start swimming. everyone in swimming suits. =] i know we look really weird and not very groomed up.we didnt realli care about our appearance then as we know that in the end our hair is gonna be in a mess after wearing the swimming cap! 
due to the rain and contrast of the camera, the pic taken were all so brightly contrasted. looks like we were in a jungle rite?!
when we rch sentosa, its alrdy raining quite heavily..and while claiming our bike, its drizzling heavily..woah, everyone were wet even before the swim.. den we got rdy and change. then pei qi and qi min realise the bike were too high for them to cycle! oh yar, we were the 2nd batch to set off for our triathlon as each time there can onli be up to 30 ppl setting off. i do not noe how to swim freestyle so i did frogstyle and made my way thru the sea to the shore. i was panting, but lucki only 300m which was quite short and fast. at first i couldint touch the ground and started panickin, luckily one of the J2 guy dat i just knew, joseph,accompany me on my way thru, so that i can hold on to him if i felt i cant touch the shallow bed of the sea. my mom was right! i cant swim dat well! so i ke pt to the shore.in the end i lost joseph! i didnt know he was behind me all the way. on my way swimming, i started talking to one guy which i thought was joseph! so akward when he ask mi for my name and i realise he was not joseph! lols so i was following the wrong person, but gladly i increase my speed and tried to squard and walk when i was at the shallower sea.. hahs! such a joke dat i end up following the wrong person! (cus i was not wearing my spects).after arriving at the shore, i looked behind to look for my friends but i cant see them so i ran and continued. i changed into my running shoes and then put on the milo jersey. finally was i allowed to take off the ugly swimming cap.. only after i changed, my friends just arrived at the bike pick up point. i decided to wait for them.. after they started pushing their bike out, i started pushing my bike too, to the peddling point. upon rching the peddling point, i jumped on to my bike and put on the helmet and set my way off peddling. i could feel the wind blowing against my way! it felt great! so i started increasing my speed. it was great.. den i realise i have to cycle for 3 laps total of 12km! aniway, it better than running.. i enjoyed the cycling part.finally i finished my 12 km and began to embark on my 3 km run.. woah, the 3 km seems longer than that! it felt like 5km.. i ran for 3 laps.. and den boom! i sprint alitle towards the end. peiqi was before me 1 or 2 secs, then qi min and joseph managed to finally finished it too! yeah grats to everyone hu completed the triathlon! xD HAHAS!a wonderful experience! GUESS WAD! EVERYONE GET A MEDAL FOR COMPLETING THE TRIATHLON! AND THE MEDAL IS.......
THIS TIN OF MILO POWDER! laughoutloud! can u see the silver winner small badge printed over there? quite creative..indeed they saved alot of money to award us with real medals! when my papa saw thetin of milo, he asked " hu put this here hah?" lols, he thought i brought my house milo tin and put it on the table instead of the kitchen.. o i explain to him dat this was my medal lols! he laughed and say, "bo iao ah, canot go and buy ur own tin meh, why must got for the triathlon!" hahs! he then ask me how i did for the running, swimming and cycling. xD
yeah! another number tag to collect! my 13th!
