Work in the Lord! Both of you guys (: Have a sweet 14th! :D
Stewpid diva song is stuck in ma head. Hhnnnhhhgh. can't wait for church. Hamzah's so nice.
Bought Hershey's BBG for us. Haha. Whooo. There's a bug going on in class.
This is a potential photo post. Will upload when i have time OMG I CAN'T FIND THE PHOTO OF ME IN THE VISUALISER.
Some time last week, Nat suddenly dragged me into the class room, and then they had turned the visualiser directly at me, and they froze the image. So my face was on the projection screen, and they took a photo. I CAN'T FIND IT ):
That's so sad. It was unglammo, i need more photos like that. I'm so not for the posing posing photos anymore. Unless i'm in a cool costume, or with churchies, or in a cool place, with lots of space to jumpshot or somethang. Or a really significant event.
K in other words, means i don't want photos like theees, they're too amateur! I need like candid shots!
AMATEUR! (No offence intended to people in photos, im inside anyway)
Photos like theeees, Big yes.

Wednesday, February 25, 2009 Mothers.
Just going to post my mum's Serangoon Garden story, cuz i think its really cool. My mum's brilliant! :D
Montages of Home
Change can be so imperceptible that it creeps along, becoming interwoven into the fabric of time that one sometimes has to stop and think “now what was there before”?
The winds of Change sometimes sweep away whole physical monuments such that memories etched upon one’s conscience are all that are left.
Back then , there wasn’t a Serangoon Gardens “village” ; it was just known as “gardens”, and everyone knew what or where that was. There was no need to elevate it to the “elite pretentiousness” a.k.a. “Holland V”. Because that is what Serangoon Gardens is NOT.
Back then, you told the taxi driver to drive you to“ Ang Sar Li” (red zinc roofs) when you have missedbus 101, 102, 104, or 105 and drop you off at the circus, (which doubled up as the bus terminus where the said buses are all parked, shiny, in a row) so that you could buy an ice kachang to slake your parched throat. Ice Kachang from stalls that clustered together, under makeshift canvas roofs that dripped rain water ; the wonton mee, the char kuay teow, all jostling for space with the buses backing into bus bays, that became makeshift stages for wayang shows come the ghost month. All these stalls, eventually, crossing the road to become the present day Chomp Chomp. Change…change and evolution.
The iconic circus, probably one of the few left in Singapore, allowing traffic to flow, though not as seamlessly as before with the coming (hiccup) of traffic lights. I remember a thrill of childhood days, riding in an old jalopy convertible, going round and round the circus, with the wind in our hair and the dogs’ tongues hanging over the edge. Life was simpler then!
Life was simpler then, where neighbours could sit on the parapets outside each “ang moh chu” ( a throw- back to the British army who housed their men and their families in these mostly single story houses; the original Serangoon Garden houses with their quaint English street names this side of the equator) to pass the time of day. The parapets also served as a launching pad when one needed to get into the monsoon drain to catch guppies and as a foothold to haul oneself up again. Alas these handy benches have been demolished in the name of modernization to cover the drains and create footpaths. (In typical fashion, the residents have used these plots next to the paths as their extended flower beds, adding vibrancy and colour. Pedestrians still have to walk on the streets!)
Entertainment was simple then too: a major weekend treat was going to THE cinema, Paramount. I have vague memories of watching Bambi and perhaps Dr Zhivago in a cavernous, dark theatre; in those days where it was $1.50 for the seats downstairs and heavens! $3.00 for the circle seats limited to the rich kids and courting couples- a princely sum to pay because after all it was still the same show, wasn’t it?
Another weekly treat was a trip to the second hand bookshop. With sweaty palms holding on to the week’s pocket money in those days when pennies were precious, we would thumb through the war comics and the Beanos and Dandys, weekly magazineswith serialised stories which sometimes had to be read in a piecemeal fashion ( cos someone else had borrowed that copy you wanted!) But no matter, the ritual will be repeated the following week.
Before the proliferation of fancy eateries there were the street hawkers: the ‘kok kok’ announcing the arrival of the “noodle-man” and folks would come out with their own bowls to hold the steaming soup; or how about the cries of “wah gor kueh” (steamed rice cakes that seem to have disappeared in these modern times). I can still see the myriad colours of the cakes, the purples, beiges, gaudy pink, with steam rising from the bamboo steamers, to be dipped into coconut and brown sugar. Though be warned; we never touched the tow suan. This came out from two steaming pots , which was all well and good till one day we saw the hawker pouring in the remains from half-eaten bowls.
And every afternoon, the ice-cream man would come by on his bicycle with the familiar ting-a-ting. No fancy Movenpick or Ben and Jerry’s but reliable Magnolia. Vanilla tucked between biscuit wafers. Chocolate wrapped inside a thick slice of sweet bread. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I saw this familiar ice cream man, peddling his wares, looking exactly the same, not a day older?
And every night, the mobile mama shop on wheels would appear at the corner where we lived. We would watch the man pump and light up his kerosene lamp, recording transactions in his 555 notebook, his pencil tucked behind his ear.
Fast forward the years- where coming home after a hectic week staying in the university hostel, it was a comforting sight to see boys playing football in the wide open fields where the country club now sits. Coming home entailed crossing a wooden bridge and a walk through the shortcut, with grass on one side and a nursery on the other. (Where the underpass is now. Ever wondered why this “cuts” the country club into “two”? Before the club was built, there were plans to obliterate this thoroughfare. A group of plucky residents campaigned against this and actually lost. The turning point came when this case was picked up by a prominent lawyer. “The land of Serangoon Gardens had been given for the enjoyment and benefit of the children of Serangoon gardens.” The short-cut remained open; albeit in a different form.)
So don’t give me a “pub- hub” or karoke lounges. The old days cannot return but the gentle legacy should live on.
The memories of provision shops with shopkeepers who wore pyjama pants and white t shirts, who took your orders of Ma Ling luncheon meat and half pound of sugar and gave you change from a tin suspended from the ceiling with rubber bands( the red kind)
The familiarity of the genteel living in a kampong. Where else would you find the aunty who sells porridge, call you “ah Muay”, though one is pushing fifty, and remembers your father and how her husband used to cut your brother’s hair? Or how “ Botak” sells a good “chye Png” , value- for- money, or “Ah Tee” who always remembers your peculiar, individualised cup of coffee?
And the people; generations who have lived here, seemingly rooted in time, passing on a timelessness to their children’s children.
Shows how quickly life may change. When you have kids you'll probably well... they'll be asking, what? Chicken rice used to cost $1.50? What? What's an elephant? You used to use things call bicycles? What are fans?

I'm so insulted. Yep. I guess everyone's feeling dreary, but that's still no excuse to put anyone down. So much for thinking before you act? But i guess none of you guys actually bother to pay attention in class now, do you.
So what if I can't stand the silence. I'm not sweet talking anybody. Its called responding. Let's see you try shall we. Yeah. They say i have to earn your respect, but don't I deserve the same? God please, work in these people.
The oblivious.
Is it a crime? No, i beg to differ.

Sunday, February 22, 2009 Every tribe and every tongue
Took some more cell pictures. Sarah misses out ALOT. Sigh. =/
Tuition was okay. Koon Wen and Justin are... I don't see how they're going to pass chinese. Went for fusion quite late, haha. Or so I thought. Justin's obsessing over prawns. And dad over oranges.
Some people totally went for Fusion for the wrong reasons. More of for the Planetshakers(they're awesome by the way), and for the socialising. Mm. But if they really thought about it, the messages was REALLY good.
So many February babies! i'm broke omg. Shucks.
Cez...
YYour's Truly9:56 PM
Hello (:
Its been a long time. Okay so i'll just rattle out the technical parts of my days, 20th February, 21st February.
20th Feb, Friday
IMMA JUDGE IMMA JUDGE :D whoohoo. Gin Yin and i are judges for the geog debate, which means we can sit on our laurels and observe :D Yeahh. Okay, well today was really, not much. Got back our test results for geog. I did pretty well, which was quite a surprise, really. Was one of the top few in class. Stayed back during recess for math :D I lurbs Mrs Wong. (Happy thinking day, guides!)
had drama with Mr Armstrong. Kaela didnt come... Yep then during drama, Charmaine helped me to french braid my hair, while Erin did the other side. Erin's one was loose and horribly done, so i undid it and tied my normal ponytail. Then Mr Armstrong walked in. And so my screwed up hair, one braided, one not.
"Are you trying to start a new trend? Why is your hair so special? Please pick one hairstyle!"
Yay. Haha.
Take me deeper, than I've been before Take me further, Lord I long for more Take me higher, than I've been before
Fusion baby baby FUSION :D First time going for stuff like it. The reflective bit's on sophisticaited yeah. Went for tuition in the morning. Alison and i were one of the first 500, and we got free fusion tees. Which were OVERSIZED. HAHAH :D even bigger than camp shirt! Got in, talked awhile, took ONE picture (: Saw Amos, Joann, Joaquim,David and Nat Koh. Only 7 TNG-ers! Prayed for Eunice and Kristen from SCGS? Really cool k.
Alex Fong was there after band and tuition, stayed only for two songs. You didn't tell me lor! HAHA. Saw Laura ong, Rachel Yap... Janella? Mmm. Zach, Song Xuan and Joel Lee too. Was pretty cool. Apparently Sarah, as in family friend sarah was there. Didn't see her. Hmm. Took pics. yay.
Pr Matt Fielder (loved the donald duck impersonation) "I wouldn't want to be standing there in heaven, being judged by God, with one of the clueless beside me, being judged on his life, while being oblivious, while I am here, knowing about Jesus all my life, and this guy besides me going "You knew about Him and you didn't tell me?"
Because its unfair for the oblivious, you know God feels like he loses a loved one. And his heart is broken. I just can't imagine doing that. Just imagine meeting someone, imagine standing next to someone whom you bypassed on earth. Imagine the look on their face, when they found out that the truth was so near, but yet, they were clueless.
Just imagine.
More of you,
More of you, Jesus
More of you,
I need more of you

Thursday, February 19, 2009 Praise you in this storm
For you my love, cheer up, right, her soul will rest in peace.
I was sure by now God, You would have reached down And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with You" And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away
CHORUS I'll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am Every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry You raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can't find You
As the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with You" And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away
CHORUS
I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The Maker of Heaven and Earth (repeat)
CHORUS Though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm

Ange's going to try to quit AEP. My, did i make a wrong choice, and join art...? I don't think so, cuz i'm at least, good at theory. But I wonder how good I'll be when Ms Low won't teach us anymore. Art was cool today, sketched Tiffanie sleeping, and made her face look super dirty.
Sigh. Sova was good. Mmm. I love Ashley. Nicole Lau, Cassandra, Erin and Kaela made me super high today. I was feeling vertigo in the morning la. it was UGH. Couldn't balance, couldn't see, couldn't concentrate. Hmm. Seriously. my head's so blocked I dunno what's going on now.

Yesterday was truly a lesson on me, giving up.
If I hadn't given up swimming, or piano, or... you know. other stuff. OH BALLET. Yeah, if I hadn't quit that stuff, I'd be a much more talented, versatile person now.
)):
I'm so sad. I wish I had continued. After a million years of Porpor's teachings, since I was 4, I was taught to read music, play music, and now i've forgotten everything.
Sigh. I could have actually been good at it. ):
And swimming. All those ex losers are surpassing me now. Sigh.
(And If I had just turned to God earlier...)
Seriously, i cannnot express all the regret I feel, before I turned to God.
David was telling me about all the past junior camps, connecTiNG, etc etc. And i felt that I'd missed so many things out ):
Sigh.
Went to plaza sing and bought quite a bit of stuff. (: Productivity.

Saturday, 14 Feb
Naomi's birthday, studied, made more cards, went to J8 with reuben, Ugh, terrapins ): After tuition, studied science for awhile. And then went to accompany my mum who was accompanying reuben and jus to Bishan Park 2, to go fish (sighhh) Made my valentine's day cards, and now my hand is going to break off. Sigh. Yep, the boys caught terrapins. Ugh. Then went to J8 (ughhh), for dinner.
When we got back to the car, the terrapins crawled out of the plastic baag, and mum and I were shrieking, cuz they were under the seat. Boys. Sigh. -.- Then reuben was telling us that when Rachel comes home late, their mum would wake all three boys to go fetch her from the alley bus stop. Haha. Super funny.
"Sometimes my brother carries a stick" "Which brother?" "You think la!" "?!" "Obviously the respectable figure doesn't carry a stick."
Fine laar. Kept on quoting me. Haha. Then went to Reuben's house to put the terrapins into a fish tank. Uncle William was home. haha. reuben chased me around with the terrapins and put one on my shoulder. Sigh. None of the others were home. (Tsk tsk tsk, wonder what they were doing out at 9.30 pm on Valentine's) Went home and packed cookies like mad.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAOMI KANEKO! :D love you girl. Keep dancing hard, working hard.

Err. Chinese was. Fine really, didn't do much. Our Mad about English project was a success! Despite us only having one practice, which was right before her lesson. We did fine! Kudos :D There was this weird, decomposing brinjal semi liquid shape thing in the class today. Gross lar.
I forgot to bring the Audacity of hope ): Read some cool Greek Mythology book called Apollo's son. Didn't get to finish it. Then we had OM. Most unproductive. Rah ): Stupid togas.
Class Comm training was like cool or something. Haha. It was super funny, though jane was falling asleep :D Tessa became so black, could barely recognise her! Yeah. Class commers(: I'm sure we can do this thannng.
Can one. :D Let's go hit the nail in the head alright? (: We played this super funny game, where we lined up in silence and wrote words on a paper, supposedly to make up a story. OURS WAS THE BEST OKAY! IT WAS THE BEST, AND MADE THE MOST SENSE.
It was super funny when Mr. Kenneth Yong (OMG LIKE HAMZAH OKAY) read it out. His expression was super funny.
"Hello! This is my friend llama, a camel. Who is that? Why is that small baby llama crying and burping? Why, because it is very young and allergic to something like apples and money. It is weird. What does it say? It says Happy New Year! Yay! What does it like to eat? Stuff. Like holy poo on toast. Meaning it likes nothing! What?! How is that possible? Its a robot! German robot ... Oh... Weirdness! *Boom!* It exploded. Bang! It collapsed. Then evolved into Donkey Kong. A dinosaur! Whee! -End-
Wweeeeeiiiii Pinnnnnggg. Jewerrrrrrlll.

Pardon me If I've been acting strange I haven't been myself lately What you see Is a person rearranged Someone affected me greatly And I've got so much to say Ever since Jesus looked my way
CHORUS Gonna raise my voice like thunder And leave the world in wonder of the change The change inside of me And I will never stop believing That you are the reason for this change The change inside of me
Everyday I'm taking in the view Of His glory around me I'm awake And I have been made new By the One who has found me Words just can't say enough When all I can feel is love

Dance was okay. Bonded with Bel, Jo and Jia Her.
Lunch was funny. Julvian was eating a honeydew, then she suddenly spit out this hard thing, PHOOEY! and it was her tooth! And some dancers were there, laughing a hell lot, then when some more dancers joined us, we were like. look carefully, guess what this is. Then they'd look at it... and then suddenly SHRIEEEKKK!

Aaah. So apparently, there was dance today, because of a surprise CIP performance come Saturday. so i had to go to Dance in a blouse. Uhhh. Me and maria were super loosers or something, lol! (:
We got blocking for the performance Saturday, then practiced Vantage Zazo with the Kaela and Maria for a little while. And we were just hanging around the dance studio, my admiration for my seniors never cease to increase. Jocel is just so open to learning new things. And Su and Marie also so sporting. They're so entertaining!
Su : Mat- SOFT, Floor - HARD.
HAHA, that was while Joce was trying to stand on her head and flip or something. They were all trying to be gymmers or sumdin. HAHA! Ru, Maria, Lesley FTW!(: Ex gymnasts pwn la. My legs were PIIIAAAN i tell yoooz. Splits yowza YOUCH. I like my flens. Danceeers. I lovvve you Estelle (: And Nut!(: And Joce and Su And Mars (: and Kaela (: and Les and Maria(for walking me home)
Went to the canteen, and annoyed Wen Jin with the dancers. Hahaha. Arielle : AA! :D Arts alivvvvvvve. Whoo! I make new flen leh. I got an sms from rachel, so i'm doing worship for cell on sunday. I hope jie can make it. Nicole Seow was SEOW okay. yucks she's just crazy.
GENEVIEVE CHIAM! Corny jokes and narcissistic comments aside, you're a very nice person (:
Just a picture post because i've said enough, and I've barely got any energy left.
Spiritual, emotional and physical rollercoaster ride.
"but also, i feel some people are just too enthusiastic. they get so caught up with ensuring their future, they forget what potential's in the present. and the present cannot even be defined by time, it's an infinitely small flick, not a second. like when i think about it, i'm pretty sure many of the stuff i'm learning now would not play an important role in the future."

Wednesday, February 04, 2009 Does anybody hear me
Glenn said its going to be a difficult journey.
Guess what. I'm embarking on it now.
Gotta remember though,
I've got my memories Always inside of me But I can't go back Back to how it was
I believe now I've come too far No I can't go back Back to how it was
Created for a place I've never known
Chorus: This is home Now I'm finally Where I belong Where I belong Yeah, this is home I've been searching For a place of my own Now I've found it Maybe this is home Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery I've seen the enemy And I won't go back Back to how it was
And I got my heart Set on What happens next I got my eyes wide It's not over yet We are miracles And we're not alone Yeah
(Chorus)
And now after all My searching After all my questions I'm gonna call it home I got a brand new mindset I can finally see The sunset I'm gonna call it home Home
(Chorus)
Now I know Yeah, this is home
I've come too far And I won't go back Yeah, this is home
Yes God, in your courts is where I belong. Now i've found you. If i could, I would, but I can't. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me (and them), I'd be ever so grateful, and if you can't, I don't blame you. I never meant for this to happen, I tried, i did. So a million times, sorry. I'm sorry you have to feel this way, I'm sorry that either way i choose I'm going to end up nowhere. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
More than words can say.
I think I'll go read Glenn or Ryan's blog. They're such inspiring people and the ones that I can relate to, reading their wise words really help me alot. At least I know who my friends are. In church, basically everyone. I won't turn my back on you. Its just a really confusing time in life right now. "Mid life crisis" as Erin refers to it as.

Sunday, February 01, 2009 Let our spirits never die
Heal the World is in my head. Thanks ALOT justin. Yesterday was damn coool okay! I actually had a real good BLAST at Anette and Andrea's houze!
K first, in the morning, went for tuition! and i saw Sarah Quek at the bus stop, wow she lives very near me. :D Omg my aunty is at the airport, and she called my mum, she's going on the plane now, and she's saying that she URGENTLY needs to know the score of the Australia open tennis final, Nadel vs. Federer. OMG fanatics.
Yeah so I was on my way, Chris was calling me on the phone, and talked to her until we saw each other at the traffic light. Yeah chinese was GOOD today, i actually understood. Mmm, kitkat :D Yep, then after tuition, Chris came home with me cuz she was bored. Showed her some guitar chords. Uhhh, then after she went for drums, i dressed up for the reunion dinner. Slept on the sofa, yay i got more ang paos. heh. Ee Ee Jannifer is getting married on the 14th of march whoo!
(Person A dreamt that Person B got kicked out of her family in a hotel in America)
Knyway. We had a real good lou hei, I didn't eat it(its gross) but it was fun mashing and mixing, and my family's chinese is laughable. Wheeheehee. "Aiyaa... Tian Tian Kai Xin la"
Yup then we took family photo(One in a mil) and we rushed over to The Loks' house. It was about 9. CROWDEDDD. Didn't know half the people there. Yeah then i hung out with the girls, Whoo! (: We went to their room, and they had this free tampon thing, and hazel's brother, bazel(?) didn't know what it was, so i was like OOH. Its very conventional, its lipstick right, with a cotton wool holder, so you twist it out, put lipstick, and if you smudge you can wipe it off right away! :D
HAHAHA -.-
Then we wanted to gamble. Er but didn't work out. Went to the park as usual and swung swung swung. I have yet to get pictures on the swings. =/ Urrm. then we went to play captain's ball, guys have no clue how to block, and dont know that they can't travel with the ball. -.-
haiyee. Then they played sparklers and made gigantic puffballs of smoke. Anette and i chose to get away from there, so she taught me her SYF dance, also by Zaki, I swear the moves are identical or something. Rawr. just hope they don't put IJ and MG like consecutively.
Heh. =/ haha i only managed to learn an eight. Yep then Irwyn cut his toe on a rock, he's super cute, still! I think P5 already but he's still so cute! It'll be sooo weeeeirrrrd when they all grow up and mature ): aw.. better make the most of what i've got now.
Yeah i had a good talk with the gals, and apparently the Loks are cousins with Julianna. Went home at like 12.30! Yeah i finally got my first pictures(yeah there's a first for everything) at the Loks' plus Hazel. :D Whoo.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEOPLE (:
