I <3 family gatherings.

CNY this year is a little quiet, and I got sick again during CNY. UGH. But, this doesn’t mean that I did not enjoy myself!

Among the 9 of us, the three of us are the closest because of age and the fact that we grew up together! I thank God that we are still close with one another.

Digressed. Seriously I don’t understand why do I always fall sick just few days before CNY. Anyway, I went for the pre-employment medical check-up today and I was really really afraid of the blood test (and the assistant said there IS a blood test to be done). So I went into the consultation room and the doctor was checking my pulse and stuff and he asked, ” Are you very nervous? Your heart is beating very fast.” Well, of course I confessed and told him I really am afraid of the blood test. He laughed!! WTH. This is so embarrassing. Anyway, they made a mistake and so NO blood test required. Hahahaha.

When CNY is drawing near.

It’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. NYE was well-spent with Nicole and Voyage de la vie was awesome! Following was the beginning of a new semester and of course it no longer aint my business anymore, but I’d like to wish those who are still fighting for the last round to strive on!

Of course I wouldn’t leave out the past 2 months of job hunting.

It was really demoralising when everyone was becoming aware of the bad economy. I could see worried looks on some of my friends’ faces already. Well I was worried too, admittedly, but I prayed everyday for the job that I wanted and remained positive about it even after the interview. There wasn’t any news about the interview results for almost a month but I thank God that I’ve received good news yesterday! I praise God for answering my prayers. He indeed is the provider of my needs and wants, and He gave me more than I’ve expected. I got the job, and received a salary more than I expected! Praise God! I really am appreciative to Maisie and my cell leader as well, who had prayed for me too.

So for the past 2 or 3 weeks of Jan I’ve been slacking… though really aint slacking since I’ve been taking some ad-hoc jobs. Being a relief teacher at a student care centre was a total new experience for me. Some kids were terrible (devilish seems to be a better word but oh well..) but most of them were cute! If you are able to withstand the noise level that reaches at about 12746473839 decibels (Apparently I exaggerated, but you get what I mean), you should be able to survive there and find that kids are actually better to deal with as compared to adults. Haha. KT and I also took up a surveyor job which we both felt that the whole promotion thing is a scam. Sorry, I dun wanna disclose any more info. Period.

CNY’s coming soon! Dad bought 4 large boxes of pineapple tarts!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas everyone! And yes, I’m nua-ing at home at this time cos’ I simply wanna type this post and then head back to sleep. Everyone was almost drunk yesterday and some of us drank tea and chin chow to get rid of those alcoholic stuff in our stomach! Uncle Marius was just as “generous” as usual. LOL. But I must say I kind of like Bailey’s because of the caramel! Quite nice. But.. not very nice after that, if you know what I mean. hahaha. I was little drunk but I cannot sleep cos’ I drank coffee and tea! The feeling was terrible, and I woke up early for the morning service just now. The play was much better than I expected! Anyway, these were the presents I got from the family ystd.

Took this in the rush, so ignore the book at the top right hand corner. San yi bought Pastor Prince’s book for me! Saw it at Times but didn’t buy it cos’ it was kind of expensive for a book. haha.

Closed-up picture. Notice that I’m STILL a KID.  haha! Thanks Uncle David!

And not forgetting this bear. I EARNED it after doing a freaking embarrassing forfeit. Too embarrassing to even mention it here. UGH.

Happy Christmas everyone, and enjoy this festive season!!

A brand new beginning. :)

So like finally, I ended the really final final paper of my life in nus! I was having one of those typical “rojak” feeling when I left school on sat. I was really glad that I’m out of everything, but a part of me was uncertain because I don’t know what am I going to do for the next part of my life. I think I’m gonna rest for a week or so before going on job hunting. After so much chionging the past sem (and seriously I felt it was the worst semester among all), I think I deserve some rest!

The past semester was really hectic because of the non-exam modules and mom’s condition. My life changed too within a period of less than 2 months, and I believe I have made the right decision to follow Him. Things change, and they do make people change. It’s something that I never dare thought of, and never will I expect dad to agree with the decision that Mom and I made. I think dad saw the change too, but he just aint willing to admit it.

And I’m gonna pray hard that I will get that job I wanted.

On the verge of breaking down.

You know that when a rubber band is over-stretched, it snaps. That’s exactly what I’m feeling right now. I seriously felt I was some kind of superwoman the past one week, running in and out of the hospital, school, and doing household chores.  I mean I’m not blaming anyone or any person; definitely not mom because none of us would expect and want such things to happen. I thought that everything would be much better after her op, but things seem to turn out otherwise. I don’t know what’s wrong, and that idiotic doc refused to explain anything further. Study so much for what when you don’t even know the basic ethics of putting your patient as your priority.

I really feel like I’m a rubber band that is about to snap at any time. Nothing is worst than the emotional stress I’m feeling right now. I wish that people could stop asking me if I’m okay because apparently I am not. I have no idea how to answer them.

With Love.

I need the oomph to carry on.

I think I’m lacking some kind of drive to deal with stuff lately. Not in particular school stuff, but just everything in my life. What’s wrong? I need the oomph to carry on.

Side-tracked. KT and I finally had the chance to sit down and talk about some stuff (definitely NOT school stuff), and I think she’s right. I should probably just try. There might be little harm, and which I really do not know until the moment I try. UGH. Okay, I guess I’ve already made a decision so I should prolly just try, and then pray and pray that nothing goes wrong.

One week break :)

My one week break starts today! But… since a majority of my modules are non-examinable, I don’t think it really is a break. Hahaha. Anyway, I met them for dinner at MS today!:) It was a pretty short meet-up cos’ I have work to do and Erica has work the next day. But it was wonderful to be with them! They brighten up my mood.

Anyway, despite the workload, school has been rather fun the past weeks since I’m always with that group of “38″ mates who practically are able to crack some jokes at any moment. And I still am laughing when I thought of the extremely crazy reaction that so -and-so had when she saw someone. HAHAHA!

Nice!

And I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance.

This rocks, really!

Teeny weeny stuff brings joy too.

Wang Wang, the family carpet. The only difference is that this carpet never shrinks, but gets bigger and wider. LOL. I brought him for a walk yesterday because apparently Elena & Elisha were out so no one wants to bring him down! So ke lian. Seriously, I had the feeling that I wasn’t walking the dog, but he was leading me! It took me some effort to control his leash, and mind you, he always gets a bit crazy and excited the moment he step out of the lift!

Random. Words. Thoughts.

And who am I to judge you, on what you say or do?

But through the insecurity, some tenderness survives.
