Abba Father, have Your way.

Whatever it is, please Lord, show me the way.

Let me hold on stronger, tighter to You, right now.

2011-06-24T13:16:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow, this time, I will be on a SQ flight, heading for Seoul.

I have many hopes and dreams for this trip.

1. Learn loads of stuff (:

2. Make loads of good friends hahaha because people last!

3. Have fun!! without bursting the budget.

4. Try that makgeolli with kimchi! aka FOOOOOOOD

5. WALKING CLOSE WITH GOD; my friend and I are endeavoring to attend church every weekend!! Praying that it would be an insightful and spiritually inspiring time. This is the most important, out of all.

I love y'all, take care, toodles. <3

Sometimes I think I was born in a past life as a princess..
but then, I don't believe in past/future lives :P

So yeah, the bottom line is that I'm a brat who thinks she's a princess.
Kinda hard to change this thinking but I'm glad that God has been working through me (:

2011-05-29T00:37:00.003+08:00

I wish my Dad would stop growing older :(

2011-05-27T00:23:00.002+08:00

I have felt in this year of disasters — from tsunamis to hurricanes to earthquakes — that surely God must be speaking, reminding us urgently of truths we daily forget. That material goods aren't as important as we think they are. That life can change in an instant. That none of us will live forever. That now is the time to seek him.

It sounds good in theory, but what does it mean in practical terms? What does it mean when you have yelled at your siblings for the umpteenth time, as I did this morning? Or when you are party to a messy divorce? Or when you are struggling with an addiction? Or when you have just lost your job? What does it mean when you are weary, frustrated, and confused? It means that you take whatever mess you are in and bring it to straight to Jesus, desperately praying for his mercy.

It means you open your soul to his healing, cleansing grace. It means that you count on him because you cannot count on yourself. Join me today in yielding to God's Spirit, who is at work to rehabilitate the image of Christ within us. Remember that your soul is the only indestructible thing about you. Everything else is fragile, temporary, passing. Then pray for the first five people you meet today, that God will open their eyes to what really matters in this world.

I LOVE MY FRIENDS.

especially my best friends, most awesome people ever.

thank you, Lord!

2011-05-25T22:54:00.002+08:00

I am shocked and appalled that someone could be whipped, tortured or disowned after conversion into Christianity.

Why the drastic measures??

I cannot understand.

There really are people still prosecuted these days for their faith.

On one hand, I am truly grateful for my circumstances!

On the other hand, I endeavor to remember these people in prayer, for surely God sees their plight and He always protects His people!

2011-05-25T00:36:00.003+08:00

I KNOW THAT YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED <3

Hello whoever, anybody, whatever, gigabits, air, space, universe,

so my last post on this page was on Jan 14th.

Wow, it's been a while, blogger!

I've decided to return to you because tumblr isn't exactly useful to express personal thought-provoking knowledge but it is good for information dissemination because of the nature of the system and such.

How is life? Life is good, though I have my moments.

Life is good because Jesus is good (:

But He knows my failings, of which are aplenty - but by His grace, I shall conquer! ;)

So, you see, like any typical elder sister, I love my siblings very much.

My sister is pretty much settled, since she's going to the same university as I am and I have upmost faith in her brain and her ability to socialise (regardless of what I might say sometimes).

My little brother, on the other hand, is a little of a worry.

I have no idea how to teach him the methods of study of which is basically rudimentary to me.

As Sherlock would say, "Elementary, my dear Watson", many of the subjects he falters on are really elementary to me.

At most I can give vaguely helpful advice such as, "It's memory work", "Just read", "Meaning is implied, look between the lines."

This is why I cannot be a teacher, even though I can be patient.

But honestly, what is so difficult to understand about literature, geography, social studies??

Granted I have always been exemplary (I say this knowing that it sounds pompous which is something I get a lot but believe me, I say this with upmost humility, honest) in the arts of humanities, but I think with hard work, one can get a least a pass?

He's not slow. He's actually rather intelligent (I have actually tested him on some IQ-ish stuff) so I can only conclude that it is due to pure apathy.

Let me admit, first of all, that I am a minor control freak.

I get angry when my plans are screwed and I always have to know that everything important (note; I define what is important) is in my control.

It was more serious before I came to Christ.

But since living in the light (if I may say so), God has repeatedly shown me that even when I think I am in control, I'm not really so.

When I say repeatedly, I mean REPEATEDLY.

It was so obvious that He was sending me all the lessons,, to make good my confession to surrender to Him all things because even though I prayed it, said it, I never really practiced it.

And I didn't even know it! (He needed to teach me that quite a number of times.) God's lessons which revealed to me the crumbs in my spiritual life. Trials are God's ways to reveal the weaknesses in our relationship with Him! How amazing is our God.

That honestly, because we aren't in control, we need to let go and let God.

One of the major bible phrases I really live by is:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

Lean not on your own understanding because God's ways are higher, much higher than ours.

We cannot understand it, fathom it, imagine it.

I know this by heart now; that He is the one who is sovereign and above all, my Father God who loves so passionately and is righteous and holy.

Anyway, my point is! I will continue to pray for my brother who is not a believer but I believe that God has plans for him that I cannot see (:

(And continue teaching him what I can teach! Trusting God for patience and perseverance.)

But I'm not perfect.

I used to have a mega huge temper, especially when things DO NOT go my way.

My sister used to call it princess-ism. I think I still have a bit of it.

But hey, I'm a princess who serves others, just like how Jesus came to earth to serve (:

Yes, my life revolves around the throne of God.

A good change from the me of 4-5 years ago? (:

I'm praying for you, reader, if you're an unbeliever in Christ, that you will come to see how wonderful and beautiful is the love of Christ. If you're a believer, hellooooo my fellow brother/sister!!!

Jesus died for you and me. He loved and saw you before you were formed in the world. He washes all your sins, past, present and future, white as snow. He sees your trials and your burdens and desires to reconcile you to Him. And yes, Jesus is God alone, who lowered Himself into Man to die for the sins of His children, such that whoever believes shall not perish but have eternal life in the holy of holies.

“I and the Father are one” (John 10:30)

God has already placed the cup of salvation in your hands. It is your choice to drink of it.

Praying for you, my friend!

Alrighty.

This certainly is a mighty long post.

It's amazing how the words just flow out of me.

I've missed writing (:

2011-01-14T02:05:00.003+08:00

Only 3 more posts to 500.

Well, I must say, it's not bad for a blog of mine to have lasted this long.

2010-11-14T16:20:00.002+08:00

Unfailingly, I am human.

I'm not perfect but You are perfect in me.

Exam week - headache headache headache headache

Lord, give me strength!!!!

2010-11-03T23:00:00.002+08:00

Oh no, You never let go.

Let their be no doubt, Lord,

that You are Lord over all creation.

Your glory shines bright every single morning

Even in the darkness, the skies glow with the diamonds that You placed

Your light is light everlasting

Let us be salt and light of the earth, let the world see Your love in us

Your light is light everlasting.

Father, You are King.

Who am I, that You are aware of me?

I am Yours, O Lord, until the end of days and the end of nights.

2010-11-01T23:56:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I just need reminders that I am not alone.

Sometimes I just need to recall that all I have is by Your grace.

Sometimes I just need someone by my side.

And always I need to remind myself that Your presence is my double portion.

Always and forever.

Life is hard and people are difficult.

Just want to spend a day in Your spirit, pondering how great Your love is, that You love all.

It seems like it is impossible for ordinary humans but I pray that I will one day have a fragment of Your love unto the world. I think that will be enough.

Sometimes I just wish to disappear into the ground,

but I remind myself that I'm doing something worthwhile.

Father, am I doing something worthwhile？

2010-10-27T22:04:00.000+08:00

And if today was the best day of my life, it's only the beginning.

2010-10-26T17:42:00.002+08:00

Even when I look for you, you're never around.

And if ever you look for me, I won't be here.

We're two ends of the pole and can never be.

And when you appear so bloody quietly,

I see but no words can describe how far away you seem to be.

2010-10-18T17:49:00.002+08:00

What part of missing is missing?

The part where you realize it's almost a miracle,

To be missing reciprocated.

I see garang in you.

So if I could just stretch out my hands,

and capture that cloud,

wouldn't that be almost beautiful?

I see fragile in me,

there is no longer the imminent boldness of yore.

Where life is always a mystery,

God prevails.

But if I only desire a part of the truth,

then, are there shortcuts to the treasure?

If you are the my triple M,

what kind of sillies would help?

Threads? Or smiles?

Or perhaps, cocoon?

Green-eyed monster,

oh why won't you stay in the books?

2010-08-28T16:40:00.002+08:00

Stop being a pompous bitch, Cherie

Everyone struggles and I think I do more than most

But all things are possible, all

For He is in me, greater is He in me,

than he who trounces upon earthly dirt.

No time for naysayers and all their cray shit

Life's a speeding bullet towards the red bull's eye

It's all about whether you live, or you die

So many believe in selfish carnal satisfaction

I beg to differ; open your hearts to the whisper

For the true essence of the universe, is not in the mere physical.

There was a silver lining between heaven and hell

He broke the veil, rang the bell

I am coming; no corner of the world will be blind to my light

No sinner too sinless to be free

Only those who surrendered to the gift;

the insurmountable Gift:

it cannot be earned - the only impossibility of being.

Listen,

the morning rays proclaim His glory,

everyday.

2010-07-21T02:28:00.002+08:00

My blogger title is actually, step into the sky.

YES CHERIE JYS, YOU CAN DO IT, YOU ALWAYS HAVE

Life changes, things change

I change. People change.

It's moments like these when I catch myself and say 'whoaaaaa, hold on a bit wth?'

Then, I let go, because letting go is love.

You need to smile more, girl, and remember that His Word is Final.

2010-06-27T15:57:00.002+08:00

You don't have to bleed to make it hurt..

Its moments like these that make me wonder abt - everything.

Its when you're singing a hymn when you know that you're not alone.

Its when the shiver of the cold is staunched by the silent shift of an angel's wing.

Its when you're curlled up and in prayer - its when you know the true essence of the world isn't in the physical.

So I will be still, and know that You are God.

2010-06-12T22:46:00.001+08:00

And I can't force these eyes to see the end.

I believe.

2010-05-21T18:15:00.004+08:00

I hope the situation in Thailand lets up soon.
The red shirts are getting insane.
I am glad that my relatives there have flown out of Thailand yesterday.
I've always believed Thais were business people first, but it seems that I was wrong...

Tres excite!
明日試験は終わりますよ。♥ あっさて夏まつはかいし、わたしとてもうれし！
Translation: I end my exams tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the start of summer holidays and I'm extremely happy about it!

By the way, I had my Japanese exam today and um, I finished like right at the dot, like
when the sensei said to put your pens down, I was at my last maru.
LOL. I am so slow.
The girl next to me was on composition long before I even started on comprehension. Gah.

I think therefore I am.

I like me.
And I also like Zara and pretty shoes.
And straight As and a little bit of prestige.
I want all the good things in life and I want them for everyone too.

I reminsce.
I think of why we werent such good friends before.
I think of why Im here and
why my room is now painted peach.
I miss a lot of people but
I resign myself to forgetting them.

I used to want to migrate.
But now I think Im lazy to move.
I love London,
because its not Singapore and
I miss winter and spring and white-washed snow.
We dont have that here.

I've moved on.
Thank you all for
making me a fighter
making me a better person than I could ever be.

I love God
and I trust in Him wholefully.
But Im not perfect,
but He is perfect in me.

I want to go!!!!!!!

Goodbye March 2010.

This morning I flipped the fridge open:
Too many things in there reminscent of Britain.
Maybe cause Aunt Taisee just returned last week.

987 drama!
Seriously hope its all a complete joke.
Ris Low is nothing but a complete fool but in some ways I do pity her;
she moves like a lost soul finding a foothold in life,
vulnerable.

Easter week!
All praise to the Lord <3

I am going to the States in June. Hurrah me.(:
Cant wait.

2010-03-21T00:55:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I look back on my past and wonder if it can be better done.
flotsam and jetsam

Today was my favourite cousin's officer comissioning parade at SAFTI (OCS).
Was pretty much an awesome event; Jia and I got to bond a lot and I really like the whole graduating feel with a hint of stepping into the real world.
I don't have a lot of a male friends (or I dont really keep in contact w the ones I have) so it was a pretty good eye-opener for me and sort of served as fodder for me to reflect on what I have been doing all this while.
Yeah, yeah, still an undergraduate, doing my thing~~

I really like the fact that I get an insane amount of things done and pass them off w acceptable results;
I also really like the fact that I'm good at staying low profile.
Is that a good thing really?
Argh I don't know and I don't particularly care.
It seems like I need to be a lot more vocal, sometimes.

I think joining a sorority would be a supremely awesome thing;
why dont we have them in NUS?
Plus, the whole haze and initiation process of a sorority,
HAH, I DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE GONE THRU THEM,
under the pretext of another organisation.
So yeah, I'd probably survive in a sorority (:

I really miss you.

2010-03-14T15:40:00.002+08:00

What's somebody like you, doing in a place like this~~
Say what's your name, what's you drinking,
what's somebody like you, doing in a place like this~~
-Tim ft Katy Perry

Yesterday a bunch of friends and I drove past Butter Factory, looks sorta high HAHAHA
(psst, to be honest, was not me driving!)
We had a strange sense of superiority being citizens in a personal moving vehicle ;p
I got home and updated my 2010 to do list:
GET A DRIVING LICENSE!

If I can break out of the precious daughter mould,
there will be nothing in the world that I can't do.

I might actually be going to London. <3

2010-03-10T17:42:00.003+08:00

Bwa. Look at the crazzzzzy. Singaporean fangirls are polite! Proud of them :D
And HONGKI-NIM NEVER SEEMS TO STOP NOMMING; are you really bored or somewht!?
I'd be bored too :/

I like the 'hi'.
Okay, I have to confess, my favourite part is when Seunghyun turns to look at the cameraaaaaa after he boards the van HAHAHAHA.

(psst) I am actually very diligently doing my Japanese homework.
Really!!

2010-03-10T16:55:00.002+08:00

YoutubeでパソコンでFTIのChoiJonghunのMnet Scandalをみました。
おもしろですが、Jonghunはかなしいです。

Hm, I watched Mnet Scandal for my study breaks, on Youtube.
Hongki's one last week and Jonghun's one, just.
I didn't finish Hongki's show so I don't know but Jonghun's one is pretty sad,
somewhat.
There's are times I totally had this omg-playboy feeling from him,
like, maybe more than 5 times.
But it was interesting, still.
Good show.

I'm just dreading the day when its Seunghyun's turn.
I think I might just turn into a crazy fangirl, if it ever occurs.
;p

2010-03-07T22:28:00.002+08:00

Time to run 20 rounds, study more than 10 hours a day
and make sure I get my daily dose of Seunghyun dongseng, hahaha.

My life came for a brief 15 minutes today,
while I was chatting with the bestie.

2010-03-06T22:44:00.002+08:00

Hm.

I'm comtemplating.
Sometimes I wish I had more than 24 hours in a day.
But nope, I don't. (rhetoric much ==)
My favourite cousin left for Shanghai for an internship yesterday.
When she spoke to me on MSN yesterday I was really worried,
because,
1. She was wearing leggings and a dress in 1 degree weather. Wth girl!!
2. Her companions are 3 other guys whom she has barely known for a mth.
3. She hasn't got permanent housing yet and she'd be there for 6 mths.

SO YAH BEING THE EVER WORRYWART AND DA JIE DA,
I WAS EXTREMELY WORRIED.
BUT SHE'S A STRONG BABE, SHE'D BE FINE.
(im still worried though)

Speaking of overseas jaunts,
a dear friend of mine went over to Aus for her undergrad studies!
Thinking back on the past, I kinda miss her like x1000.
In addition, I realised that a lot of my cliqusy friends dont have facebook!
But they tweet.
Hmph what up guys.
Haha, alright, I miss everyone and I miss my life, please come back soon!
xD

So, OMTD had this to share:

So. Freaking. Right.
I lol-ed like no other lan-gamer when I saw this post thing, like
GARGHHHH NO WAY THEY'RE GONNA FIT 3000 PPLE IN THERE.
NO WAY.

Maybe on that day my mum might decide to go shopping there...

2010-03-03T23:17:00.000+08:00

Just saw a vid with Seunghyun acting weird.
Maybe I'd take back my words, lol.

2010-03-03T22:35:00.004+08:00

I was one of F.T Island's first fans. When their first album, Cheerful Sensibility,
was released, I replayed and replayed their debut song over and over until even
my mum knew how to hum along to the song.
I got side-tracked along the way (I probably fell for Arashi around this period)
and recently, I've been listening and noticing FT again.
(Also probably due to the fact that I have more kpop friends and OMTD does alot of posts on them!)
It's good, since before I never could recognise any of their members 'cept Hongki, due to the fact that I thought he strongly resembled a girl.
Apparently, some dude called Won Bin(?) was replaced by Seunghyun (above picture).
I was (quite) surprised when I realised he wasn't part of the original FT because I freaking adore him, even though he's like my いもうと's age!
HAHAHAHA.

A google done on Seunghyun showed posts about how a Singaporean fan 'attacked' him.
I.e she pulled his hair and started giggling like a moron.
:(( Some people can be such twerds, darn them.
Anyways,　せうんｇひゅんさらんｇへえよお！

Confusion never stops,
closing walls and ticking clocks.

Sums up the dismal picture of university life.
The odd thing is I actually understood everything today,
except what the turf is p hat?

I have mid-terms on Friday.

I was planning my modules yesterday.
If I cram everything, I will be completing my level three Micro and Macro like..
year 2 sem 2. I don't intend to take level 4, unless I die die have to.=.=
I need to get an average of A- this sem.

I am really itching to play Sims 3!
Control control control control!
I have a mid-term on Friday and a presentation on Wed,
small stuff but significant nonetheless.

I WILL PLAY WA ON CNY BREAK MUAHAHAHA.

My faculty (the walkway at least) has been transformed into
some Valentines' Day tribute. Sweet, but the arches are really blocking
my way, hence the increased lunchhour jam.
I took 15 minutes to walk to AS4 !

I am often out without eyeliner nowdays;
is good. (:

Welcome to http://mononplus.blogspot.com (:

It's going to be here a while, so enjoy!
(btw;)
because I reactivated my archives,
here is what I found from Oct 2007:

I understood a lot of things from this camp;
realised the standard I should uphold and the things I want to get done,
realised I kept too many things within myself,
realised I'm afraid of confrontation,
realised that the free spirit that I was has become this person so afraid of the world,
so much so that I hate myself,
hate the person I have become, the fear that I have,
I think I'm losing it.

That was an abstract from one of the very emofic posts I wrote,
but reading them over, I felt I wrote more prolifically in the past, compared to nao. T.T
I won't look back, but only to the impending future!

2010-02-02T23:54:00.004+08:00

Today was a shitzxs day. =.=
But was productive:
1. Finally decided to change blog address title
2. Fell asleep on bus from school (found faster bus home, yayness is me)
3. Social Psych text is f-ing expensive!!! But benefit exceeds cost, therefore is economical &efficent zz. (I read one paragr so far)
4. Had one hour chat with the best friend, our first in 2010
5. Had one hour chat about why we're best friends
6. Prayed (:

So yes, effective indeed.

Bye.

P.S This sem is infinitely more productive than last sem. :D
P.S.S I love Kesha's Tik Tok! Awesome song.!

2010-01-13T14:42:00.003+08:00

2010 to me,
is a year of possibilities.
It's a year of less coercion and more inspiration,
more perseverance and less pessimism.
It'd be a year of greater things and wonderous discovery,
because when the roof over my eyes caved in and the truth came out,
I saw that there was so much beauty in being number 1.
It'd be a year of more spiritual didactism,
and when I look back on my days, I'd cry in the knowledge
of having had so many beautiful days.

Where You'd be, there I'd be also.

For youth is only but a fleeting corner of our lives,
and when we conquer the weeping howler of bad vibes,
we become

so yet unknown.

I am well traumatized by how awkward I looked in JC.
Someone please kill me zz.

2009-11-16T17:07:00.003+08:00

So while I sit here, studying yet again for the next
(yet again) all-encompassingly significant examinations
(now wonderously called the finals) and listening to Pixie Lott's
THE FALL (TURN IT UP) - awesome song btw -
while all the idiotic JC1s and High Sch kids below 16 run around me,
(I extend my empathising out to all JC2s who are currently in the midst of e A'S),
the family has to embark on the annual unsavory tradition:
~~spring~~ winter-cleaning.

It is the unavoidable dump-out before the biannual trip to a
cold-as-hell country. Three yrs back it was to the gorgeous UK,
two yrs back it was to friendly Xian (for me), pretty Japan (for everyone else) &
last year (dum dum dum - Singapore! XD)
This year due to many unexpected circumstances and many dallying, we're finally
going to a place close to heart.
( I stocked up on pretty winter paraphernalia before the month rolled by because I had
no idea whr we were going ! )
Yes, Iwill be going to the home of my ancestors - dum dum dum,
duh, CHINA!
It'd be great, I know it :D

I am indeed studying (and cursing at the thickness of textbooks as usual)
while the chaos of the world goes around me.
Much cheer :/

2009-11-10T17:04:00.001+08:00

SOS - i'm calling out again!

Yes that.
Uni life is so not a breeze!
BITE THE CRUNCH

2009-11-02T23:08:00.002+08:00

Change is inevitable but the sense of loss and unrootedness is quite ineffable.
To me at least.
The notion of time affirms the role of change - without it we will never achieve progress.
But there are some things one doesn't want to change,
and these are the things I fear I will lose over the horizon.

2009-10-27T13:20:00.000+08:00

It's hard to find the way home
when you don't know which way's the right way.

2009-10-25T12:29:00.002+08:00

What do you do when it feels like
you've lost your identity and you cant find it anywhere here?
What if things don't have to be this way,
what will you do?

I've had these bouts of nostalgia and
time and time again I have always dismissed them.
It's difficult. But Im trying.

2009-10-23T21:55:00.002+08:00

Gossip Girl makes you bitchy, like literally.
Guess who's my favourite character?
Blair Waldorf :D
Only the bitchest, richest, classiest girl on the Upper East Side hahaha.
I can see how anyone would get sucked into that lifestyle.

School's been pretty cool.
Just not cool enough HAHA.

Only the best and the brightest. LAUGH-

090827 2NE1 - I Don't Care Remix on M! Countdown

2009-09-25T13:03:00.001+08:00

CL - you go girl!
2ne1's fierce, arent they? :D My favourite Korean girl-group!

I Don't Care is a song about how a boy cheats on his girlfriend all the time
to the point where they say "I don't care about what you do anymore."
I love this song! 2NE1 does it with such panache, its awesome!
And CL's rap section? THE BOMB. ISNT SHE JUST THE COOLEST??

2009-09-24T16:23:00.001+08:00

Your image overwhelms my brain!

I had a lot of fun this week.
Not a lot of work done though.
Drat, gotta pull myself down to reality!
SIGH

2009-09-17T00:48:00.002+08:00

so would you be my best friend

There are some things that hurt more than others.
Its kinda like you don't know why they hurt because omfg they shouldnt, but they do.
Isn't that kinda melancholic in an ironic sort of way?
Im feeling upset and I don't know why?
Awful isnt it.
I keep a tight rein on my emotions most of the time and its times like these where I go fuck it why should I be someone Im not?

Im still trying to understand.

2009-09-15T00:32:00.002+08:00

HELLO WORLD! or what's left of it, HAHAHA.
school's been great AND horrifying. I know now that procrasinators like me were never made for university life.
High school/pre-university days - cramming WAS THE NORM.
In NUS, when you cram, you're the freaking ODD OUT, y'kno?
Oh god. I'm picking after my pieces BECAUSE IM AWESOME LIKE THAT.
like real; ugh, haha!
cramming - sigh, i will miss you.

Anyways, I've been thinking alot. As usual.
And yeah, I'm a silent thinker. I think a lot of people think Im an air-head cause I've said a lot of stupid things in tutorials this entire week (and the last).
But well I thought they were worth contributing. Gotta get thicker skin for m'self! :D
And sometimes I do think of you. The proverbial prodigy who is crawling his way to salvation.
And I'd like to remember you in better days; the ones which I care to remember, the days where we kept love in our hearts and our smiles.
Its really hard, because I don't forgive easy but I think I'd like to. I'd need divine strength for that and I pray that God does help me with some.
I keep your messages; the better ones, because I really have not completely left that part of life aside. It's difficult because accumulatively I felt like I've spent a lifetime with you.
But that again, is not true of course.
My entire lifetime would have been wasted on you; honestly.
I loved you. There's a fine line between love and hate, isn't it?
And I think I'm ready to tear this line apart because there's no part for you in my life anymore.
But I'm really glad you've picked yourself up when I could not do it for you.
My brother in Christ, He who is closer to you than your very breath has found you. I do hope you don't stray anymore.
Maybe its time to change your label as 'the F-ing Asshole' to something more gentle, hey?
I'm happy now and so are you.
God truly works in wondrous ways.

When I ask myself what I'm here,
I can always rely on my girlfriends to give me a satisfactory answer, haha!
Everyone else just bombs.
Yeah, I'm here to make something out of my life.
Cheers :D

2009-08-15T22:43:00.000+08:00

I havent really realised in a while how illness can screw you up and hang you upside down and you dont even know.
Yeah.
The other day, I was crossing the darn road and you know how roads have traffic lights and road crossing lights and what not. Oh yeah and they sometimes face each other too.
So here I was feeling a little goggy and giddy and staring at nothing in particular when bing! Green light catches my eye, so I start to walk.
HORNBANGSMASH*! Oh, green light for a lot of speeding cars not slow sick pedestrians like me.
And here concludes the fateful event that almost secured a kick to the bucket.
Brilliant.
Im glad my mother grounded me. You never know when I might cluelessly try to kill myself again.

AND ANYWAYS, I BOUGHT A LAPTOP WITH A S3 CHROME GRPHICS CARD.
YOU MEAN I DIDNT NOTICE WHEN I SCANNED THE SPECS???!
Oh yes you did not. Puck man.
Sigh. Never mind, no graphic heavy games for this baby then.

The other day when I met up with the best friend, I had a sudden revelation why she's my best friend.
She can spot my ex boyfriends from a mile away, haha!
Nah, the real reason is this: the truth sets you free. (:

Illness really does gives you such a semi-conscious view of the world.

2009-07-26T23:12:00.003+08:00

There's probably a lot in life
I let slip by
Loopholes I try to snatch, they're really rife
It's the louche hopelessness, I say and cry
Words of another time and place, cripes,
Why did I forget about something called a lie!
It stings like the edge of a serrated knife
Ludicrous debauchery, some curious design
Would have won first place for I've-
A-Life-Story-And-Its-Real-Asinine.
Hahaha, we trade shoulder bumps with finds
of some customarily line
Lost in the list of just another sign
Life's Like That, Shall We Dine?

I'd skip the useless commentary pluck
(If) all in the end it was just eminent
Rotary Crap. Pachak pachak pachak
(Detour) People's words can be rotund-ant
Poison, self-fulfilling prophecy without a-luck
Don't forget, you're not Harry Potty.

2009-07-18T21:49:00.002+08:00

Ambition is good.
:D

Don't stop for anyone.

Paparazzi by Lady Gaga is smashing!
(promise i'd be kind,
but i wont stop until
that boy is
mine.)

Yeah. WHEN I SAY UPHEAVAL,
ACTUALLY I DO MEAN EARTHQUAKE.
dnkw if you dont know this,
my drinks are all on YOUGUYS hahahahahaa.

2009-07-18T14:36:00.002+08:00

Something whispers in my ear and says.

How should I say this,
upheaval?
Yup upheaval.
I suppose its good. Im a bit tired of routine.
I remember something Eth told me once, "The sky isn't the limit. The UNIVERSE is."
Heh. You're so right, Ethlee! :X

I suppose a lot of change is in order. :D

2009-07-13T17:37:00.002+08:00

So dont let anyone scare you-

I know, I know, I know.
I know how it feels.
Kelsey by Metro Station!:D
Someone dedicated this song to me a few days ago because I was feeling EMO>>><<<<
Booooo, ehehe. THANK YOU MUNCHIES I LOVE YOU -blowskiss-
Aw my friends are awesome, really!
Im a thinker so I linger alot! But I know when to let go when it was never mine to keep!
Everyone's been so nice lately.
Except someone.
Oh I do wonder where Im going next!

Was reading Pandora's and Caroline Engman's blogs, they're awesome people!
I loveeeeee the pictures, somebody teach me photography please?:P
-looks at Yvaine- :X

Thanks first and foremost the BFF, I mean YOU'RE THE GREATEST! Thank you for really listening to me it made me feel oooodles better seriously!
Thank you Ethan for the longggggg prep talk, if you werent my guy forever friend I think I will fall in love with you! HAHAHAHA OMG NIGHTMARE HAHAHA.
Thank you Bryan Png for subst for Nat, lol!
Thank you Henry for calling me from Taiwan when I was teary and all! It was a bit of a shock but it was very nice, thank you!
And no girlfriend, I did not forget you! You've been with me through the WHOLE WAY and you have no idea how much that means to me, you're like the person I cant live without right now hahahas and the reason why you're last because your writeup is the longest!:D

I need a credit card!
And Im okay!~ -sings-

2009-07-08T00:50:00.002+08:00

Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins.
- 21 guns, Green Day

AWESOME SONG.

My faith walks on broken glass.
You cant convince me - are they just lies?
I always thought love was simple,
but I guess not.
-
Oh man, school is starting in a bit and
Im still a lost soul!
Spunk babe spunk! HAHA
What's a little setback to you come on its nothing.
NOTHING AT ALL.
iffy

2009-07-01T14:54:00.002+08:00

...

I do this quite often these days, the dot dot dot thing.
Sometimes when God doesnt answer, those are the scariest moments in life.
And I feel scared.

2009-06-30T08:43:00.001+08:00

D;
i was right about fireworks.
i feel like just brushing this off.
like i've done so many times befre.

2009-06-28T13:45:00.002+08:00

We've got a match you
need me to save
Love huh -
just resonates with fear
to me But -
God says you
are the one.

Im keeping myself on a psyche balance sheet.
Stuff of dreams, you keep me smiling until i close my eyes.
If you'd always been in my life since forever,
my memories wont be streaked with tears.
SMILE

2009-06-22T21:17:00.001+08:00

I love this song! David Archuleta's Touch My Hand!
Awesome song.:D:D

I think ever since I graduated from school life's been in a lot of ways, more lively,
but in others, a little different really.
But I've been happier than I've been in a dozen years.
So yeah, life's just awesome now!
:D

In a sea of people
There is only you
I never knew what this song was about
But suddenly now I do.

2009-06-13T01:06:00.004+08:00

contradictions. procrasination. pride. arrogance. wide. sky.
empty places. white roses. empty hearts. fire. moon. dance.
dark stares. broken glasses. young&unoriginal. backstab. front scream.
romance. lost. crossroads. waiting. alone. quiet reminscing.
disappointments. failure. hurt. anger. frustration. restless.
cool like fire. hot like balloons. pink. black. blue. fit. why.
beautiful smiles. red hair. black polo tees. love.
yellow words. talk.

Something about the look in your eyes.

2009-06-10T15:13:00.002+08:00

I chopped off my hair last Monday, haha :D
It's pretty different but hm, I kinda like it, sometimes haha.
:D

Too many things have occurred in such a short span of time.
And suddenly I'm not in control.
It feels a little absurd and I feel a little angry but hm, life doesn't conform to your will.
Even so, the only will I will ever conform to is God's.
"The Lord will withhold no good things from those who do things right."
- Psalm 84:10-11

Black Eyed Peas' new song is great :D
Its the kind of song that you can dance to forever :D
gotta get get booom~

Ugh I think my desktop finally diedddd on me UGH
I hate things that are disgustingly unreliable.
Disgusting.

I'm going on a long holiday.

2009-05-31T13:38:00.004+08:00

Wrote this sometime ago, like end of 2008 i think, a level period.
i dont know what struck me to write this free-verse poem, but evidently something did.

Walking down Memory's

milestone-d lane. Looking

left and looking right;

stumped with cuts, like

broken fabric in chinose skin.

Still, we raise our

hands in glee, as if

proud to claim this

as a moment

or a fling,

ours, ours, never

deflowered, never discovered.

Take knives and hide them

in your backs, stab

when irises aren't aware.

We're pretty good at

this: like it's all a play's

play, a parody of what

should be.

maybe one of you can guess what its about?

typing it out made me realise what the subject was about:

the same as the plethora of other random poems ive wrote in my diary.

words do heal wounds.

2009-05-28T23:17:00.002+08:00

There's so much of the world out there.

When I think about adventure, the phrase above often rolls into my mind.
:D

So its the (almost) end of the school term for the high school kids.
i.e for sister & baby brother.
Which means they'd be fighting with me for all the recreative stuff lying around the house.
MOST UPSETTINGLY, THE 360 STALLED. I can't believe it. I was so looking forward to finishing up Lost Odyssey and starting on the Last Remnant!
In any case, the end of their school term indicates an end to the sleep late wake late schedule that I have because of the new job im embarking on.
Strive, Cherie, strive. For the extra moolah, you have to =.=
I think I'm going to develop eye bags like the panda.

Im on a withdrawal from Facebook and MSN, HAHA.
it wasn't planned, just happened out of the blue, like there was some spontaneous combustion somewhr that I should know about but don't.
I think I subconsciously knew I had to stop, so I did.
A friend exploded upon hearing the news, "What??! Which rock did you hide under then?"
I rolled my eyes and laughed. A bit.
A rock called reality, perhaps?
Anyway, I think it's nice to sit down with a good old-fashioned PENCIL and a blank book in one hand and scribble some thoughts down, maybe plans for the future, or even a line out of some ancient poetry book.
It's a little romantic and whimsical at the same time.
But it calms me down; definitely.
In a way that neither Facebook nor MSN can.

I want a Macbook.
Or an iMac. Whichever. Dual core processors attract me. Really.
And the spiffy design does eradicate quite a bit of the quagmire I face in IT.

East or West? Which would you prefer to go to?
Honestly, I've thought of educating myself in less favoured places like South Korea or Japan.
But knowing my parents, they'd point right at places like France and demand a reason why I would choose somewhere Asian to go instead of Europe.
I can't decide.
Never mind.
-
I like Korean food though. Right down to the weird-tasting kimchi.
Anw, the best friend and I were at this really tucked away Crystal Jade Korean restaurant for some good BOF-esque food! (HAHA, as if they ate the weird stuff we did!)
Fiona Xie (know her? she's pretty well known around these parts) was at the next table, just right next to us.
She's alright; she didn't sound as snobbish as some people I know made her out to be.
She was normal, human, except that she had on some pretty cool heels because when she walked away with her male friend she actually looked tall, haha.
ANYWAY: korean food was fab, really. The bbq was the highlight really!
I had an insane urge to ski after eating bbq meat HAHAHA.
Totally reminds me of the time it was like -10 degrees in South Korea and I was huddled into this hot, delicious-smelling korean bbq restaurant! I think it was with my twinnie, Liw, in Sec 3 when we went on the school trip. Remember? :D
SIGH.
I WANT TO SKI.
-
CROSSROADDDDDDS.
Need to make a decision on which NUS camp to attend! =.=
I wish Jo and Yongxin will make up their minds soon too!
I think we're going to have so much fun together:D

2009-05-08T09:32:00.004+08:00

I think someone just tried to break into my house.
Rather stupidly too - because my maid was just around the door and he ran away when he saw her.
FUCKING DUMB.
Like omg. -rolls eyes-
I went out and walked around my corridor walkway for a while, but I didnt see him so maybe he'd run away.
Well, that's smart.
Don't let me get you, I'd make sure you'd get your stint in jail and MORE.
And maybe a chopper aimed at your head too.
HAH.

We should seriously consider relocating to somewhere with a 24 hours security guard.

2009-05-05T00:12:00.002+08:00

I've decided that my goal this month, (and forever more:D)
is not to get upset over things beyond my control!
OH YEAH:D

Right now, it feels like life can swing either way,
and what I would really like is for it to swing MY WAY,
but y'know, life hardly works the way you want it to(:
It's like our lives are marionettes being manipulated through invisible strings
but I know that's not really the case(:
Marionettes have no private lives or will of their own but we do.
So I guess marionettes arent an apt description of life HAHA.

I HAD FUN TODAY I LOVE Y'ALL. HONESTLY :D
EVEN IF I WAS A MARIONETTE, IM GLAD THERE ARE FELLOW MARIONETTES PLAYING OUT THE GAME OF LIFE WITH ME :D
LOVE YOU.

2009-05-04T00:09:00.004+08:00

THE SIMS 3 IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER IN SINGAPORE!
LIKE, WHAT??! OMG DANDELIONS! :D:D:D
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DECIDE FOR THREE MONTHS WHETHER I SHOULD JUST KILL THE CARD AND ORDER THE PRICY PRICY (LE) SIMS 3 ONLINE AND AM I GLAD I WAITED! (they sent me an email btw)
GOOD TIMING, EA ;)
I want that INVITATION TO THE PRE-ORDER PARTTTTTY.

this is the only thing in my life worth updating about,
hahahaha. besides the fact that hyunjoong is totally spazzzingly hot -dies-
arghh, ji hoo ji hoo! HAHA.
:D

2009-04-14T15:40:00.003+08:00

そう明日は今日と違う風が吹くだろう?
That's right, a wind different from yesterday's will blow today, won't it?

In these few days that I haven't blogged, a plethora of events have taken place.
And a lot of them aren't good, at all. UGH.
Although none of them are personal but you know, I tend to take people's problems on as my own. This explains the sudden morose demeanors, people. D:
When the BFF says I put a long face, she's not exaggerating.
I really have to find a middle ground with regards to being upset by issues that do not involve me!
I do hope most of the time it can be like en passant -pouts-
I pray though for God's blessings and grace to be on them!

Actually there has been good things, give praise where they are due, right?:D
Oh yeah, all the personal things that have occurred to me have been to my advantage.
So yes, the Lord is faithful(:
And He gives in a hundred fold, a thousand fold(":

Somehow, today, which was originally packed with tuition assignments, has been
miraculously cleared of jobbsss. I mean, God really answers prayers doesnt He?!
I've been so tired this week and although, I'm going on some luxurious (snorts*) cruise on Wed,
I'm glad that I have some free time to relax before I officially can hahaha.
Aw, glorious redeemer, You reign.. :D
You go where I can never even touch and You make all things possible
such that all my fears turn into elation and praise.
I can do all things through Him(:

I really want to master Japanese soon!:(
I think the amount of hiragana I can remember can be counted on one hand.
enfant terrible!
I think I have the same problems as Obama hahaha, trying to handle too many things at once.
There was a point where I was learning French along with Japanese. Totally drove me nuts!
French is considerably easier than Japanese though. I think that definitely shows the disparity between the two fluent languages I know.

By the way, The Birthday Massacre is absolutely awesome, no? HAHAHA.
No idea if anyone shares an in interest in their music:D
And I'm starting to think that Jin is cute. Omg, somebody shoot me /.______.\
I think I can be a labelled as a Johnny's fan now.
Barghh.

2009-04-10T21:53:00.005+08:00

And God so loved the world
that he sent his only Son to die on the Cross
for our sins.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Amen.

Happy Easter!<3

2009-04-10T00:38:00.002+08:00

I'm falling out with a few of my closest friends, aw darn.
Y'know, having too many cliques really isnt ideal.
It kinda eats up your time and even though you REALLY want to spend time with them all, the core clique kinda butts in and sits on your tummy of time and refuses to budge.
HAHAHA. Bad analogy but yeah, you get it, dont ya? :D

Life is good, I can't complain
I mean I do, but no one's listening
And your image sticks in my brain
And it feels good

EASTER'S TOMORROW.
Oh yeah, proof of the living God(:
Rejoice all ye who hear, as it was and it will be, since before time immemorial your God lives!
HAHAHAHA :D
And it's true.

And OMG, I'm going on cruise next week with BFF.
It's a personal achievemt because the slowbies rule the fasties for once.
HAHAH. you know who you are :x
balcony views! cant wait!

Teaching tuition is both mentally tiring and just that teeny weeny little bit annoying.
But y'know. I need the cash. O.O and its quite substantial, honestly, for those little hours that i actually am teaching.
Plus, it's a new experience!
Never rule out new experiences (; you'd never know what you'd get(:

Oh yeah, God's faithful(;
and He's NEVER failed me.

like whoa

2009-04-06T23:26:00.002+08:00

I don't think I'm a person that tolerates nonsense, generally.
I tend to lose my patience and genial demeanor with regard to seriously ridiculous mistakes.
I don't know if its a bad thing but I don't think it's WRONG. Nope, not at all.
For a long while now, I've kept quiet about issues I deemed inexcusable or downright disgusting. Sadly, I've also made excuses for myself with regards to impermissable points of contention, but I do not believe it is a subject I am likely to fault on, again.
Aw gawd, I can feel the wheels of change moving in me.

I'm suddenly in love with cooking. Before, the idea of even touching a flying pan was revolting.
I adore independency. I kinda like doing stuff on my own now. AND NO, I do not need people to chauffeur me around, I can very well take the bus, thanks.
Just a few examples but hm, little things like doing the bed after I've gotten up is truly a testament to my OMG-YES-WE-CAN state of mind.
And more lamentations to how badly and horribly spoilt I was before. Honestly. D:
I never really was aware of being literally spoon-fed all the time, but I dunno, like some switch just turned itself on and TADA, I was completely befuddled by how adsurd I really was.
REALLY, a few things I did in the past were absolutely preposterous.
Oh dear.
Sigh.
But hm, LOVE SELF-REFLECTIONS. they're totally like mini-epiphanies for me, HAHAHA.

On a side-note:
Told my maid off today for being absolutely intolerable.
She went off w/o informing anyone and I was totally locked out of my house for being key-less. And she didn't lock the main door and the main windows. Who wouldn't agree with me that that warrants a good telling-to? This is my house and quite apparently, I do treasure it a lot more than she does so I was decidedly and unexpectedly FURIOUS.
And why do I need a maid anyway? If you don't watch it, you're gonna be out of a job like a lot of people out there. And soon.
-does a rude gesture-

Another side-note:
Confessions of a Shopaholic is WORTH EVERY PENNY. Awesome show, awesomely concised storyline and awesome male lead. And there's brand name stuff shown in there i.e YSL!
I needn't say more, do I?
Plus, male lead's my total dream guy hahahaha. Smart!, cute and hot (:D), down-to-earth, speaks Prada but doesnt live in it and eloquent in the right ways(:
Aw, awesome. Was squealing away in the cinema :D

Additional side-note:
I never knew I had a cute and hot neighbour. O.O HAHA!

Last side-note:
I CANNOT WAIT FOR EASTER! :DDDDDDDD

Dear God,
I'm sorry!

2009-03-31T23:08:00.008+08:00

OMGOMGOMGOMG NATH IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!
My sugar-highs are always a little scary.
Was at ACJ band concert today!
HAHAHA MY SISTER IS TINY, SHE WAS LIKE DWARFED BY EVERYONE ELSE HAHAHA LOL.
BUT I STILL LOVE YOU, TINNY.
And omg Glen why did you transfer to CJ! HAHAHAH.
I was there like 2007 one week hahaha. It's a real cool school tho.

even if i didnt feel like i was drowning 24/7
is this rescue going to be enough?

2009-03-29T22:59:00.002+08:00

I don't wanna cry on.
And we'd survive.
Into space, lost in the race

There's this person in my life.
I suppose I owe him.
Though he's perpetually annoying and really competitive, if I lost this person in my life it might be lonelier than hell.
We race. But we also share too many similarities and too many differences.
Our paths have always diverged and will continue to diverge but I'm glad that in reverse we've grown closer to each other.
You still annoy me but I've got a bunch load of affection for you because life's just weird like that.
Thanks for all the chilling outs and the never going overboard-ness.
It's a little late but I think I finally do appreciate it.
Listen,
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. So just do it.

There are always people here and there
They remind me that the world's a beautiful place
There's a reason for no fear
There's a place for fragile hearts
And there's angels with wide open wings

Life's weirded out like that.
But I think God has plans for all of us, really.
He does.

MAC's gel eyeliner in BlackTrack RULES THE MARKET. Honestly.

2009-03-26T09:48:00.003+08:00

Honestly,
I'M TIRED OF THE COLLEGE WAITING GAME.
already!
Hm, you know I always wanted to go to Princeton, or Dartmouth or UC but anywhere but the US's fine for me too, if I can study what I love to over thr and if the school isn't like top 200 or something.
LSE accepts AAB students like me for Law! Everyone else has requirements of AAA for Law, even relatively unknown schools in the UK.
But it doesnt mention anything about H1 subjects, so I figure that's a lesser point of contention?
That's where I'm putting my money on for an overseas 2009/2010 entrance.
Maybe I should really take a gap year since late applications like mine are only considered if there's places in the course.
And I've been dragging my feet on local applications, because I've been thinking that it's a waste of my money since the only school in town I really want to go to is NUS and just NUS.
I haven't done the SMU app yet because their freaking website is a pain and asdf$#!
Argh.
I'm going to the British Council on Friday to check out some UCAS stuff.
Sigh, why do I feel like I have so little faith?

I am really gonna get the SIMS3 right when it hits our shores.
And then I'm gonna bug my dad for a new desktop.
This one doesn't fit its requirements, like its probably 1.9 GHz only but I need 2.4GHz for the sims3 to play like a dream.
Even the Sims2 crashes often on this DELL DESKTOP.
Never get Dell. Unless you're a computer whiz that's good at manually upgrading ram and stuff.
Anyone can rec a good desktop brand out there? I'm thinking MAC but it'd be inconvenient for many of my Intel programs if I use the Apple built-in programs only.
Sooo yeah.

Hereby concludes the two vanmost issues that are seriously bugging me, at present moment.
This does feel like a quagmire that's going to be a pricky subject for LONG.
Please bear with me.
:D

2009-03-23T23:31:00.003+08:00

Ah, a few new things to rave about:
THE SIMS 3!

Yeah, the above. Official Cover ART by EA.
OHMYGOD, Icannotwait!
Honestly once I getthis game in myhands (hopefully on a Friday!) I'd just slap it into the disc drive and let it rip hahaha :D
No DRM or SecuRom for me though; hope this game's like 'clean'~
AND IT'S MAC-ENABLED: MORE REASON TO GET THAT 24-INCH HAHAHA.
In all circumstances, parry Sims-related issues, it shall be good to remain frugal, my dears(:
AND IT'S SHIPPING JUNE2, TOO CLOSE TO FALL ENROLMENT NOOOOOOOOO~
Ah, I hope good things happen in succession, really.

And I want Dragon Age: Origins when its released in Q3 :(
Really really want it.

Ah yes, frugal frugal.

Rave also for Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength nail polish and Sennheiser earphones!
AWESOME STUFF!

AND TO B WHO GOT ACCEPTED AT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, OMG CONGRATTTTS!!!
Sigh. I have to wait a while.
Good luck guys!!

GOD IS FAITHFUL! :D

2009-03-16T20:01:00.001+08:00

Remember those walls I build?
Well, baby they are tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

I can see your halo.
Life's hitting me bad.
Why would I be afraid?

2009-03-08T02:06:00.002+08:00

Cherie Anne doesn't know what to say.
Her A Levels results are pretty decent but aren't excellent.
She hates her Bs and adores her As but wishes she doesn't have any Bs at all.
She cried enough tears on results day.
She believes that if that girl can make it, she can too, a TRILLION TIMES BETTER.
She wants a scholarship that can bring her to the world.
She wants a future that is brighter than the stars.
She wants a rock-solid conviction that she's going to do law.
She's still going to apply for NUS Law School.
She doesn't believe in impossible.
She believes in God.

thank you to my lovelies.
i want to hug you all and squish you all in one big marshmallow.
i love you guys very much.
thank you for always having faith in me.
thank you for staunching my tears.
thank you for never not being there with me.
my greatest blessing from God was always the unshakable friendships and the unbreakable pillars of support and comfort.
i love you all.
thank you.

2009-03-05T20:55:00.003+08:00

When you walk into the room,
we're spinning with the stars above.
Ooh, baby do you know what that's worth?
They say in heaven love comes first,
ooh heaven is a place on earth.

God You are indeed faithful.
I have repented and I too have been faithful Lord.
To You, I will do Your Will and Answer Your Word.
I have faith.
I will not be afraid because there is nothing to fear.
Thank You Lord.

2009-02-09T22:47:00.005+08:00

the future is ours to find;

can you see it?

I want to find it; that elusive dream in my life,
Yeah, so its pretty tough sometimes.
I've even thought it's impossible, it's never gonna happen, it's too far away.
Too many times I've regretted one decision or another; but then again, epiphanies happen to me and they tell me, trust in the the decision that you've made in the past.
And the truth is: to falter is to fall and to hesitate is to say, "Hold on."
I pray I'm never going to say to life, "Hey, hold on just a minute."
There's no minute to hold on to; Time holds on for no one.
Just like how dreams hold on for no one; it's right up there for you to catch it out of the sky.
Before we run out of time.

keep on running!

2009-02-05T23:51:00.004+08:00

i can't remember,
but its alright, I'M ALRIGHT.
keep it cool: just jam XD

-
-
really tired these days.
HAHAHA, my friends say I've been using a lot of expletives!
Really? OMG HOW DEMEANING OF ME
but its alright. its just the way I let off steam.

Ethan laughed at me today. DX
Hate you! HAHAHA
How I wish I had been in your school so We would have so much more fun tgr before.
Strangely, I really miss you.
Ergh, that just sounds really gross, hahaha!
Thanks for running down from your place after I complained about my claustrophobia.

I miss Vicky too! and I miss Mel! and Jiajia and Xijing and dadadadaa
and Joy, and Zaid, and Deepa and sigh. loads.
I even miss my old orientation group mates from over 2 years back.. YEAH I DO.
On a good note, I met QIXUAN while walking down to my busstop today!
Was really elated to see her; miss her loads too!

FREAKING TIRED.
loads of birthdays coming up soon.
EXAMPLE: ..... okay just a lot of examples. like SIHUA's, MEL's, MONICA's, ANDREW's etc

-
know what?
I've been realising how horribly pampered and privileged I've been in my life.
I've never even had to go hungry, ever, in my life.
I've never been denied anything I really want.
My dad relents after two short lectures about my bad habits and he's always really so nice to me.
My mum nags alot but she's very affectionate in reality; she organised like 3 18th birthday parties for me.
I know why my parents often lose their tempers at me and I would cry and say horrible things like I hate them or I wish they would just disappear.
I've thought about all these things I've said in the midst of temper tantrums and anger out-bursts. and I've come to the conclusion that I'm a spoiled braatt - sigh.
I've never been one to rein in my anger for long!
Yeayh, yeayh, so I dont really get angry with people I don't know but they're always diverted to people I know well - zzzz.
But I'm gonna try to get less angry - sigh.
Thr's always a ton of ridiculous things that happen that really turns my anger valve like ON: my brother not doing his homework for one. zzz.
Although I haven't really argued with my parents since I turned 18, I'm really gonna try to see things their way, really.
-sigh. AND WHY THE HELL AM I SIGHING. Puck.
I think its due to the smashing headache I have.
I got it from claustrophobia after staying in my tutee's place for more than 1 hour.
Apologies! But I really cannot tolerate small places for too long. DX
Another thing I will try to resolve - sigh!

I will be going down for a job interview at Ngee Ann City tmr morning.
Contrary to Nath's crazy ideas about Chanel, Prada and wahtshitz, I am quite sure it is none of the above.

My dad asked me if I finally know how hard it is to earn money.
My very unsatisfactory answer was, "Uh...NO?"
HAHAHA.
Does suffering from a headache count?

Okay, love to all.
Headache's killing me.

SOMEBODY BRING TO JAPAN AND JUST LET ME CHILL THERE, FOR LIKE FIVE MONTHS, SMISPLEASH? ireallywannaski.
Madness, it's like spring in seasonal countries already.
I'm really scared for A Levels. *_*
side note: I'm taking SATS in May, in ACJ. yeyy, my sister can like show me where I'm supposed to go.
I really wanna run away with just the money in my pocket.

side-sidenote: MELODY AMANDA'S 18TH BDAY IN LIKE 2 DAYS, OMG! HAHAHA!

2009-01-19T22:04:00.003+08:00

OH EM GEE.
is life hard to live or what.

i've been doing reviewing, reading, thinking, trying to remain uber optimistic,
advising, going to more parties, planning parties, trying to wake up early,
and all sorts of uninteresting things like that.
oh, i forgot to include shopping. Yeah, and that.
&scaring people with my unpredictable temper.
stay away from my best friends, you unsavory people!
HAHA.

Is it always like this?
When there's no goal in your life, its like///nada, zilch, bing-no?
GEEZ.
But I know what I want to do.
I'm just.. waiting, I guess?
People've asking me: zomg what you gonna do with your life omg you?
LIVE? I know what I want to do.
I want to live in the name of all that's just and good.
I want to keep this naivety just a little bit longer.
I'm not all that lost.

....tada.
Another miracle in the making: CL num.2
My sister is.. my sister, HAHAHA.
She's the epitome of everything I am not & I'm the epitome of everything she's not and that just makes everything so much fun-er.
The most ironic thing is that she knows me so well and that makes me (just a little) irritated.
Even so, she's my baby sister so she's the one I'd trade the world for, even if she did bite me when she was 2.
I know you're gonna get into NJ so stop squirming in your seat.
:D -squashes her-

My cousins rule!
It's a fact. Funny people I lurbxzx you much much munchies~
My friends rock!
All of you never fail to bring out more giggles&fun&laughter.
I will NEVER trade any of you for anything, not even for $100 million!
And it's so much fun meeting up with old friends you havent seen in a million yrs and exchanging little notes about our lives, its just like -snapwe'rebacktotheolddays-
People around me are just so cool, seriously.

Right. So I should do someth cool too right?
Haha but besides 校长, I'm next best at studying in our little globs of cliques.
I guess that's the coolest thing I can contribute to our globby globs.

Am I making sense?

Who cares. xP

To B:
piss me off, I dare you.
Haha, I tell you, dempsey hill siriously siriously dark!
Wooowoot!

P.S Happy NINETEEN, BEST FRIEND! I'M SORRY I FORGOT TO HIT YOU 19 TIMES BUT I KNOW YOU ENJOYED THE SUPER SUPER FUNNY&SURPRISING&COOL BIRTHDAY PARTY WE ORGANISED FOR YOU AND MY SUPER COOL PRESENT RIGHT? Haha! I knew it xDDDD
-let's stay besties forevarhhh until Mars drops down on us.

I'm walking on, never gonna regress, never gonna regret!

2009-01-03T15:14:00.004+08:00

i've been corrupted!!
i'm listening to KAT-TUN's music. oh golly.

haha, before I forget: happy 2009 everyone!
2008 has been a humbling and a joyous way (in more way than one really):
-
things that have changed and those that hasnt!
,
I've grown as a person; these looms of fate that have wound around me have opened my eyes to the world and I really would like to believe that my life is going the way I want it to.
Although i'm still the same uncertain, eccentric person, i know i've gotten some sliver of grown-up-ness, hahahah.
I still don't enjoy frivolous things but I do make an effort for my friends. You know who you are(:
I still write (in secret though). How cool would it be to release a book one day!
2008 has made me into a hardcore gamer because of the insane amounts of pressure &very annoying peer pressure. & i still think that Viva Pinata is the coolest game ever! HAHAHA (don't slap me, ethan)
My best friend is still LHQ! AND MY BEST friend(s) still all belong to 7seven, rofl.
I hang out more with the Louisa and co now. I'm also stuck to the hip with F!:P
I fight more with Dnkew than with HQ. truly ironic! (&its all ethan's fault)
I LOVE MY COUSINS!!! Shout out to Mel, Jia & XJ.
GG was developed. on New Year's Day at Esplanade.
I realised that Life is more about choices than about what people THINK YOU SHOULD DO.
I fell in love with Robert Pattinson. HAHAHA.
Still do not know how to pool and drive. Does not care about the former but is deeply interested in the latter.
I still hate drunks so I avoid pubs with people in depressionz & Clarke Quay!
Have not gotten drunk, ever. -smug smile-
I don't hate you anymore A. You're completely forgiven!
-
things that should change!
,
Get a bloody job. NOW>>!
My life. Once my results are out, my road is set.
My surroundings. I'm planning to take a gap year (working; omg the horror!) and (hopefully) be in UK as an intnl student in 2010.
My wardrode. Throwing out A LOT of old basics that I don't wear anymore!
My spending habits. Time to grow up girl!
Go to less parties. But go to more of best friend's parties!
Buy more books than clothes. Read more more more more. I WILL NOT BE A WORLD IDIOT.(i.e someone who has no inclination to understand the world)
Be a more devoted Christian!!
Less frivolous stuff like _________.
The world economic outlook!
-

I do hope 2009 is the funn-est year ever. I'm still 18 anyway!:D:D:D
Thank you to all who have made 2008's fun and joy possible.
Thank you to 7seven, Lo&co, Dnkew, cousins and more for always brightening up my days!
Thank you for the love, the craze, the girls'sch screaming and the telepathic understandings!!

WURVE. GOD BLESS. ARRIVEDERCI 2008. CIAO 2009.
May Singapore's STI go up up up and growth expectations to improve by leaps&bounds!
May there be world peace and more love, less hate in macroscale~~~~

Let's all have more fun&joy&laughter&love&.

Aman, Desmy and I:DDDDDD

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
With glows, down below
The jewels in the past
Scintillating mashimmering
It's a long route to the future
A long and dark road
Our feelings lend us protection
But I don't wanna be a soldier
And we've -
We've got to keep walking
Keep flying never stopping
Spreading our dreams
To greet Daedalus on his waxed wings
Stepping into the sky
Ahoy captain!
You're not too late to steer the wheel
We take our dreams to,
seventh Heaven.

There we sat in snow,
Encasing our lives in temporal white crystals
Of gold.

2008-12-04T01:50:00.003+08:00

how does one say, i don't give a damn, in less than five words?
haha. like, sod off?
hmm. interesting.

If Ethan will just shut up already.....
I happen to be blogging.
I know, I know, I know...
pictures right? Some people just want the purdyyy silverlined ions ..
Sorry. You ain't gonna get it. not today anyway.
Procrasinating.. again.

So I look around, and I see skinny people.
I watch 90210 and I see more skinny people.
It really makes me want to be bulimic and copy .. someone else.
Okay, so whatever.

There's so many things I have to do that isn't done yet:
Take SATs, practice piano(!!), study more interesting stuff, pay up my library fines, catch up with friends, GET A JOB, catch up with more friends, get skinny.
God.
Am I perpetually busy or what?

Argh, whatever.

2008-12-01T14:37:00.003+08:00

People! PROM DAY:D today!

I don't know, maybe I'm moving away from this whole blogging thing.
-shrug.
HAHA, like Hannah said, it's called growing up man!

Maybe I've changed too much...
but I'd still try to be the same old familiar me, okay?

OMG, I love Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve! Go listen to it, people!
adds a whole lot of panache into your life, me feels.

2008-10-25T13:12:00.004+08:00

HIATUS
im ready to run

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient

Waiting

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

stop
turn/rewind/pause
the world's right at your feet.

2008-08-29T20:03:00.006+08:00

HELLO.

It's not 21st November yet but I'm back(:
I really really missd this blog, HRMM, how should I say it?
It's like, a friend that I've always been talking to, but because of circumstances, gone.
There's that emptiness that is really hard to describe.

Through this prelim period, I've really thought about many things.
I've thought about my family, about how I really really love them but its at the crucial moments that they always disappoint me, but that's no matter, because your family will always be what its function is supposed to be, yes? Family.

I've thought about friends, there has been the irreplacable and the lost.
That's really how I split them up, groups, yeah I know, straight to the chase.
There's really no need to differenciate all friends, because that's what they all are: they're either your friends or they're not your friends.
Sometimes, its hard to tell. But I know who are those who have been with me through the tough times and those who weather down after the rain.
Oh well, this is life isn't it.
I'm really grateful to my JC, because of it, I've learnt so many things that I wouldn't have learnt otherwise. I mean it; it has made me stronger, more determined, tougher and most of all, I have learnt that status isn't everything, yes?
So, I have thrown away the shallow me in the past and realised that I don't fight for others, I fight for myself.
It would have been really stupid to have carried on in the way I did in the past but I'm glad this school has woken me up.
So yes, school and friends: they're not caused by each other but correlated definitely(:

I've been so much more braver to stand up for what I want; despite the setbacks.
I know my parents have different expectations of me; I know them and I want to live up to them; those expectations that have piled so high, climbing over them will be difficult.
I know my friends have expectations too. But I am glad for one group of friends, from which they accepted my every flaw, even when I was unreasonable and detestable; you know who you are, hontoni arigato.
In reality, without doubt, the person holding the highest expectations of all was I.
I was always in a delusion that the pressure is everyone else's fault except my own, until one day my best friend had enough and hollered at me, "Can't you see that you're the one piling on the pressure!"
True enough, she was right.
to be honest, this stress is what I need to keep me going or I'd won't do nuts.
So it has come to be a part of me, indeed....

After saying so much, what is it really that I want to say?
HMMMM.
Those invisible strings that have pulled me one way or another;
I'm grateful to them because they have shaped me.
I know now that I want to live my life, without regrets, as much as I can.
After all we all only have one life, ne?

After all that wondering, struggling and frustration, at last, I have
found it. The interest that has followed me all the way from elementary school,
LAW.

I think its great to have a goal;
despite all my finickering around and fingering with the idea of doing
economics, journalism, translation, politics,
i've flushed them down the drain.
there will only one and there will always be one goal for me, and for now, this is all that matters.

After all this going around in circles,
I would add: gambatte to all those people who think you can't make it and are on the verge of giving up or those who already know you're going to make it and that this will be your moment in the limelight, all the same, DON'T GIVE UP!

It is the last last last absolute thing anything anyone should ever do.

BECAUSE IM NOT GONNA LOSE and you aren't either:D

Goodbye for real now.

&I know what truly matters.

Lastly; watch Hana Yori Dango because it's the one thing that rocks my world every single time and again:D
The movie's coming out September 4th!
It would be the best best best super pre-advanced birthday present over.
LOVES.

2008-07-20T13:02:00.002+08:00

The minute I held the key,
the world seemed closed to me.

HELLO!

Everyone, go listen to Coldplay's new album.
It really is awesome.:D

My last last post, HAHAHA.

I will miss this space for sure because regardless, I've been blogging for a while and its already a natural part of me to type and whine! :P
So, that's one forum gone.
Right now, I'm VERY VERY VERY BUSY with prelim preparations AND a level studies.
My MATH is very very very BAD but regardless, I will get an A!
So everyone, let my optimism be somewhat of an encouragement to all you who are in the same boat as I am!
LET'S WORK HARD TOGETHER!

Ciao.
See you after December 21st.

2008-07-06T14:16:00.006+08:00

I swear my cousins are a bucket full of fun.
They overflow all the time, though.
In between trying to strangle Xijing and watching LOTR, Mel and I trawled friendster and gossiped. Muahahah.
Met who I should not have met but met before at the carpark.
Zzz.
Being very silly, I also had to run up and get my phone which I chucked at Xijing and forgot to retrieve.
My red satin shoes are the best, ever.

Ingrid Betancourt has to be the most courageous woman ever.
After having been kidnapped by FARC rebels, the last 6 years of captivity must have been both dispiriting and melancholic. .
Six and a half years of captivity has not diminished her ambition and vision, not one bit.
The strength of her character is astounding.
To me, the depth of her determination is both encouraging and illustrious, despite my inability to imagine the length and depth of her despair at the hands of the rebels.
Not knowing if she'd ever see her family again, not knowing the future for her, whether the next day be it one she would see with physical eyes or through the transience of a soul, it must have been a torturous thing.

She's just amazing.
My respect for her is unbounded!

Therefore, for us
who live in such peaceful times
is it not at great mortification
when we give up
when it seems
there is no solution to
the catastrophe?

HELLO

this blog would most probably be empty for quite some time.
because
of a levels.

I'm back to listening to Arashi.
And the spattering of Japanese.

I love British stand-up comedies!
It never fails to make me laugh:D
live at apollo!
American guest speaker: "58% of Americans think that George Bush is a good president. I don't know a single f--king neighbour who thinks that our President is good for anything!"
VEH VEH VEH FUNNY.
only if you get it. lol.
Especially the crack joke about Birmingers.
Which I can't remember. :O
Stand-up comedies in general are good stress-relievers !
I am in great need of the above.

Don't sue me please.
I quoted.
BBC Entertainment if you really must know.

Watched a crazy psychologist play Russian Roulette with his victim.
Entertaining, to say the least.
My mum was screaming for my dad to turn the tv off as subject in show put the gun to his head.
It wasn't scary, not really anyway.

Missed out on a movie date with friends today.
Was kinda bummed but urg, I HAD SCHOOL.
Don't we all.
I tried not to get my knickers all hitched over bummer-ing.
Feeling dazed of late; and JADED.
dazzed .
Oh God.

When my seniors petted my back and said, "Go for it Cherie! A levels will probably be the toughest examination you'd go through,"
Hoo boy.
Never took them seriously.
They were damn right.

My cousin's going to Harvard for his Masters.
I promptly lost my appetite after hearing the news.
GEEZ.
Nobody's putting the pressure but I take it upon myself I suppose.

Bloody Harvard.

I DONT KNOW WHY MY HIMITSU NO ARASHI 004 KEEPS DISFIRING ON ME.
GRRRR.
This system's going to the pits.

Bye, mug.

ps. I will be at Cousin Jia's place if anyone happens to make a social call(:

So!
Yesterday was my second cousin's wedding at the Hilton Singapore.
I haven't seen her in ages cos she's much older than I am, haha.
So it was different seeing her in a wedding gown.
It was gorgeous btw! It was satin white, with intricate silver and black crystals all over, especially on the train.
And their wedding photo book; very professional and beautiful!
Mel, Jia and I kept aww-ing over it, teehee :D
Everyone looked great, all decked in their diamonds and heels! especially the adults(:

And I saw my grand aunt for the first time.
Everyone had to go family by family to greet her.
She was pretty friendly though:D

Jia wore a dress. !!! LOL.

And I wore my 4-inch gladiator heels:D
Finally, an opportunity to wear 'em.

Bride and groom walk-in was totally awesome!
Because cousin-in-law is an officer in the army, he got some of his colleagues/friends to do a army march in so it was completely mind-boggling. For me(:
And I think he looks really good in his officer formal wear! Matches Huey Choo-jie's white dress(:
As tradition deemed necessary, they had to go through three obstacles to reach the wedding stage.
Pretty simple; 2 glasses of alcohol, 5 kisses at various parts of the body, groom has to carry bride up to the stage.
Still, pretty interesting!
For the yam sheng session, Ross ran up to the stage to represent his dad cos he was in the washroom!
Mel and I groaned because we thought it would be apparent that he wasn't a senior.. LOL.

AND
Hilton's function room sound system suck balllls.
Seriously. I don't think anyone at the corner could hear them.
Honestly. Because its Hilton, I thought their sound system would be so much more awesome.
But unfortunately, it wasn't to be.

I think my maternal family is really cool!
Not that my fraternal side's not :D
Cousins were the only ones being interesting so camera-man skitted around us a lot:D
The other tables were really really contained.
My silly brother downed a whole cup of wine after my irksome cousins, Ross and Xijing, convinced him that it was juice.
GEEZ. !!
And Cousin Xiaodi, being the oldest among us (Us as in the ones making the ruckus) was not setting a good example by egging them on!!
GRRRR. So, I went over to reprimand the big boys.
And all denied involvement. Right. That's all fine and dandy because lil bro isn't drinking and driving anyway(:
But Xiaodi-ge has to drive and he drank!!! Many many cups.
I think he got his dad to drive for him afterwards.
Before that, everyone was giving poor Xijie many many cups of alcohol and challenging him to go at it, bottoms up. He finished all of them, all 5 cups, wine, beer, brandy, whatever.
Haha, go Xijie!
He looked drunk at the end of it tho. ROFL.
Mel, Xijie and Xijing were all being photog freaks; trying to beat the camera-man out of his job? HAHAHA.

Oh and my brother got drunk!
Well, there's a first time for everything.

Cousin Ross looks like this senior in my school called Yihao.
LOL.
I never noticed the resemblance before! Haha.

Maybe I'd post pictures when Mel and the camera-man gets them to me (:

I LOVE MY FAMILY!:DD

Congratulations to Cousin Huey Choo and Cousin-in-law Heng Tiong!:D
