2010: it was good i guess. very very eventful, and i think i've done things that i regretted. and it keeps taunting me (many incidents sigh) every time i think of it but guess what's done is done and i should just move on. of course there's crazy happy moments.. especially knowing that the year wasn't all that bad despite the whole new change of environment - switching to a new school. and at least i travelled - phuket haha. it was great, has been so so long since the last time i travelled (no, excluding msia please), so yay :) it's not like i hated 2010, but it hasn't been a fantastic year. and nothing's going to change magically just because the clock strikes midnight today. got to work it.

2011 resolutions:
1. set it right with God (john 3:30)
2. keep good bible reading habits (and not let studies take priority)
3. be less judgemental
4. shop less, save more
5. complete every single tutorial (on time) and try utmost to pull my ridiculously low gpa up

2011's going to be a good one. though it's going to be helluva busy. especially in year 2 when there's 5 core modules like wow much. i'm not sure how i'm going to handle that.. but i guess it's going to be a time when i learn to trust that big guy up above even more :) going to learn so much in 2011. God will light my way :)

me with my very first paycheck:




zomg i'm insanely happy right now!! just got my pay and wow jerry gave me extra and he just smiled when i asked him why. i mean, i'm already super thankful 'cause my job's pretty slacky and all? like.. i get to play my phone, read my book, read my bible.. and sort of whatever i want to do. and i get free lunch like everyday!! so yupp, being paid pretty reasonably for such a relaxing job was good enough, and jerry still gave me a 'bonus'??

i'm feeling beyond blessed right now!! :)


hope you're enjoying bkk hun! love you (L)(K)




i just had a really great day :') with weird people giving "what's wrong with them" stares at the 3 most awesome people alive. sigh people, deal with it. hahaha kidding, but honestly i've no idea why they were staring at us. honestly?

and there was this bunch of ladies at b&j that were laughing at us :/ gah, so annoying, pshhh.


Oh yayyyyy!! Today's the second last day of work ha ha ha, okay it's only the fourth day but no one cares!!

Happy thought: no more dust & flies infesting my wallet.



I'm going to meet some of my girls (what the pancakes i've no idea why i typed glies at first.. too much thought on flies??) later so yay mega excited!! bee if you're reading this, bring your dino along please please please HAHAHAHA :)

Hmm, so it means i'm going to spend money on expensive food again but ah whatever, holidays are ending which means i get to start having pocket money again!! YES!

I think because i've so much free time during work, i'm reading my bible more often. I hope i get to maintain good bible reading habits when school reopens. Haha, God's love letter <3



OMG SOMEONE SAVE ME. Their figures are like TO DIE FOR. Someone tell me why am i not born tall!! >: And watching them being the epitomes of perfect, people can no longer tell you about models being photoshopped. Unless, the screen was digitally edited in a way i do not know how. THEY'RE DAMN HOT OMG.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show makes you go for unrealistic and unattainable dreams. It's impossible, i can't magically become taller by like WHOLE 30cm suddenly. OH EM GEE It's not fair that i'm born short.






Hi, meet Zexy, my new pet zebra. She's from South Africa. As of 27 Decemeber 2010, she's going to be a permanent resident here in Singapore, under my sweet loving care :) haha no people, don't ridicule.

yay i like how my friends know i like zebras, and that they tag me on animal photos.. especially on a zebra!!



This totally cheered me up. How can it not? I love you G :)










Just reached home after a good (and long) walk home from Upper Thomson :)

Feels splendid to walk home from somewhere pretty far. Okay it only took me about an hour and a half to reach home, but it was still incredible.

Walking home instead of taking a bus is sort of an escape from the hustle and bustle, an escape from this fast-paced society we're living in. And there's stars tonight, so it tops the walk up. Has been long since i've seen stars in Singapore. Good good feeling :)

While walking, i suddenly found myself humming to 'you'll come' and wow, it's been so long since i've sang that song. (SMILES) God has his own way of reminding me of him. So i just started talking to God and all and yayyyy feels awesome!

I should walk home more often :) Life's better when it's slower.

to ken and manda:
hope you both like your presents!!



Just finished reading Genesis 4-9 of the bible. I'm reading from the beginning again because i sort of think i have to. To get my bible reading right, to read it with understanding and not like last time, when i read for the sake of reading.

Things to learn from Noah:
1. He trusted 100% in God (he didn't even know what an ark was but yet he still listened!)
2. He had complete obedience (such a big task and yet he stayed faithful!!)

BE LIKE NOAH :)






It's 3:36 right now and i'm done with my simple christmas lunch. Moma even made the logcake herself, she's simply ah-mazing.

Season of giving!!


I think this is soo.. idk, i can't find the right word for it. But i like the lyrics a lot, i really do. What an original, what a girl, what a voice! Please listen alright! (L)



I've Got You - @PenoMenoWelo




Christmas Cantata was fine, God's grace is great :') Looking at the squeezy and packed altar was shows how amazing God's touch is.. how amazing God's mercy is.. Yes, Jesus is indeed the real reason behind this very season.



Went for cantata yesterday with clarice, yammy & kairong. It has been sooooo long since i've laughed so terribly hard omgee, gotta love 'em buds!

TELETUBBY JOKE. How can i not thank God for such friends? :') HAHAHAHAHA ZOMG. No one gets what i'm saying, it's okay. My friends deemed me as a terribly lousy story teller. No big deal.

Had an incredible dinner at hongkong cafe hahaha (@11pm wow) and we laughed even more yay! Healthy day. Laughing's the best medicine right? (Y)

A little sneak peek? (nawh i just have to wait for yammy to upload more pictures hehe)






p/s yes i dyed my hair yay!








Shopping at town today was suf-fo-ca-ting.

Everywhere was sooooo packed i could barely breathe. And no, it's not because i'm short haha. Got more gifts for my loved ones yayyyy good night out :) Going to deliver prez again this year, it's going to be so exciting!! I'm quite stoked about playing santa again :) But then again, pretty lazy to travel about singapore. HOPEFULLY i can reach my friends' places by bus! That way, it's free.. sort of. Concession ftw? :)

Yupp, cantata tomorrow. God's going to work through the crew :)


I'm at bishan library studying with kai and yammy now. They were supposed to tutor me (sort of..) organic chem but we realised we were learning almost completely different things so yupp, i'm on my own now. Called bokang to ask a question that got us debating with each other for like zomg half an hour? YAY SAVIOUR.

So.. we're going to head down to taka later to get some gifts and yipee i get to use my cash vouchers. Been waiting so eagerly to spend them and now i can!! Finally!!

I'm hungry.. but i'm fasting today since i forgot to fast yesterday. Oh, kai and yammy agreed to come for christmas cantata yay praise the Lord :) hehehe good buddies (L)

Can't wait for them to finish some of em' tutorials so we can head to town soon. Pretty lights on the street, here we come.. soon-ish.



I woke up at specifically 8:14am today.. which is considerably late compared to the other days where i wake up at 7 odd, and maybe even about 6 :)

But it's okay, i slept at midnight yesterday oh em gee i was so tired haha. It's been so long since i've stayed up late!

Shall wrap more presents and write more cards, Christmas is coming y'all!!

p/s i honestly don't know what my hand was doing.










all-time favourite omgee :')







In such a whirl of emotions right now.

Today was such a good day, hanging out with the best people alive - Chloe, May and Kairong. But yet, disappointment sets in when the news were broken. I don't need to mention it here, it's nothing glorious anyway.

And really, God i don't know what's your plans for me. It's definitely bigger and greater than mine. But sometimes, it's like i want to be in control. Do things my way and try to rely on my own strength 'cause keeping faith up is not as easy as it seems. It's not just going to church every Saturday, it's not as simple as it looks like.

Sigh God, and if it means i've to mess up my GPA again this semester to learn something from you, then i suppose it's worth the sacrifice. But i hope not, i obviously want to do well. You'll make a way, right? I don't know Lord.. It's getting tougher and unbearable.

Many a times i want to do well and glorify your name, but maybe i'm just not working hard enough. Or then again, maybe i'm not surrendering enough.

Let me learn. Amen.




on a totally irrelevant and random note, i like exercising :)

A MUST-READ STORY..

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: ‘How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?’ The surgeon said, ‘I’m sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn’t make it.’ Sally said, ‘Why do little children get cancer? Doesn’t God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?’ The surgeon asked, ‘Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he’s transported to the university.’ Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. ‘Would you like a lock of his hair?’ the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy’s hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, ‘It was Jimmy’s idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. ‘I said no at first, but Jimmy said, ‘Mom, I won’t be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.’ She went on, ‘My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.’ Sally walked out of Children’s Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy’s belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy’s belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son’s room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said: ‘Dear Mom, I know you’re going to miss me; but don’t think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just ‘cause I’m not around to say ‘I Love You’. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day.. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won’t be so lonely, that’s okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn’t like the same things us boys do. You’ll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don’t be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn’t look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God’s knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That’s when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn’t allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own perso nal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him ‘where was He when I needed him?’ ‘God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I’ve written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn’t that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I’m sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don’t hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I’m glad because I couldn’t stand that pain anymore and God couldn’t stand to see me hurt so much, either. That’s when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that? Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me. (Let’s see Satan stop this one.) Take 60 seconds and repost this, within the hour, you will have caused a multitude of believers to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves ‘When you’re down to nothing, God is up to something.’

:')



Easy. Refreshing. But yet, unsatisfying.

The 2.4km jog i had a while ago was such a breeze. The weather was so cooling, my first drop of perspiration appeared only at the 2km mark. It was the most relaxing and comfortable jog i ever had i guess. It's pleasant, sort of, because i enjoyed it a lot. But the fact that i didn't sweat much makes me a little (okay maybe a wee bit more than just a lil') disgruntled :/ What's exercise without perspiring? Right?

Still, i can thank God a million times and it's never enough. Thank Him for holding back the rain, that it only drizzle after i completed my run. Thank Him for holding back the rain, that it started pouring only after i reached home.

And daddy accompanied me :)

Gonna jog again tomorrow! Sounds good a plan, yay :>

Oh yeah, i was running against the wind, so i guess it's not as easy peasy as i made it sound like hahaha!! And.. my face had frost bite (that's what daddy claims) after the jog because it felt so prickly and all. Yupp, but still, a great fun jog :)



I drank a lot today.

By 1pm, i've already drunk 2 glasses of milk, 2 glasses of barley, and 2 glasses of well, boring plain water (which is of course very healthy!).

And by 3pm, all i've ever done is to play sims.. and pee, pee, pee, excreting out whatever excess water my body doesn't need to retain.

I've family dinner later. Woohoo to good food, but it means i got to wake up darn horribly early tomorrow. Hmm.. worth it.

YUPP and i've been playing sims 3. I've 3 kids yo. I make a good moma.


i've this strong urge to revamp my entire blog again. it's always at this time of the year, and i don't get why HAHAHA. and i'd actually change the link of my blog, but i don't want my friends to go through the trouble of re-linking and all, so yeah.

was thinking of deleting all my posts like what i did last year, but i won't. because i regretted so so much, no one gets it. so yupp, contemplating on what to do with this space now. hopefully it's something good by the new year yes? :) or even better, by CHRISTMAS :D



are you kidding me? f21? justin bieber's calender?
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :/

okay i've nothing against jb. it's just.. why on earth does f21 wanna sell his calender!! :O



i enjoy sleeping in early and waking up early.

it's now 7:50 and i just had breakfast (hahaha it's just milk). i've about 15 hours ahead of me to spend it good and yay it's better because today's a saturday and saturday's like my sabbath :)

this evening, should i head down to by havaianas? haha i'm quite broke though.. broke + holidays = torture. gotta get a loan from moma/daddy.. haha i don't like the idea, but it beats being dough-less!!




they'll get back together someday, i'm not losing hope.

beautiful couple :')



ZOMG MY LIFE HAHAHAHA <3



arrival of menses, not a joyous thing, but there are things i'm still grateful about.

i want to thank God for several things (the time period of my menses)
1. it came after exams
2. it won't clash with Christmas
3. it won't clash with amazing race

wow God.

and today, though there were unwanted sores at unwated areas for the very first time (and that it really felt painful and uncomfortable).. at least there wasn't cramps. and i want to thank God a million times for that because if there were cramps.. i'd have fainted (probably) because i didn't bring my pills along.

what a season to learn how timely God is :)



back from a productive study session with cammy, hun and bobo :)

had cmb paper this morning and it was total crap. gahhhhh never felt like such a failure after a paper before. such a strong gut feeling that i'll probably just flunk it bad, which is a pity considering i really did study hard for this test.

still trying to find out how God's going to work through me.. it'll take time.

but yupp!! am going to strive to do well for obc and that's it.

LAST PAPER TOMORROW BABYYYYY GOOD YEAH FREEDOM.

can't wait! <3


WHERE WAS GOD DURING 9/11?

Have you ever thought, “Where was God on 9/11 when the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked?” Well, I know where my God was on the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!

He was discouraging people from taking those four flights. Together they could accommodate more than 1,000 passengers, yet there were only 266 aboard. He was on those four flights giving the terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the people who was called by a loved one on one of the hijacked planes mentioned that passengers were panicked, nor was there any screaming in the background. And on one of the flights, God gave strength to the passengers to overcome the hijackers.

God was also busy creating obstacles to prevent people who worked in the WTC from getting to work on time. The work day had begun, more than 50,000 people worked in the two towers, yet only 20,000 were at their desks. On that beautiful morning, God created scores of unexpected traffic delays, subway delays, and commuter train delays. A PATH train packed with commuters was stopped at a signal just short of the WTC and was able to return to Jersey City. And far more meetings were scheduled elsewhere than was usual.

God held up each of the two mighty towers for a half hour so that the people on the lower floors could get out. And when He finally let go, He caused the towers to fall inward rather than to topple over, which would have killed so many more people. The foundations of six surrounding buildings were demolished by the fall of the towers, but God held them up for many hours until all the occupants were safely evacuated.

And when the WTC and Pentagon buildings went down, my God picked up almost 3,500 of His children and carried them to their home for all eternity. He also sat down and cried that 19 of His children could have so much hate in their hearts, that they did not choose him, but another god that doesn’t exist, and now they are lost forever.

He sent people trained in dealing with earthly disasters to save those that were injured. And he sent in thousands of others to help in any way they were needed. And He brought people together across the world in a way that moved thousands to tears and hundreds of thousands to prayer—and caused millions to turn to the one true living God.

He still isn’t finished. Every day He comforts those who lost loved ones. He is encouraging others to reach out to those who don’t know Him or believe in Him. He is giving the leaders of our great nation the strength and conviction to do the right thing, to follow His will, not a popular poll.

So if anyone ever asks, “Where was your God on 9/11?” you can say, “He was everywhere! And, in fact, he is everywhere today and every day.” Without a doubt, this was the worst catastrophe most of us have ever seen. I can’t imagine getting through such a difficult time without God at my side. Without God, life would be hopeless.



with these,
my room will be purrrrfecccttttttt.


woke up at about 9 today and i started studying immediately. what is life?

but it was good, at least now i've a wee bit more time to play around.. like blogging. i think i should be able to complete cmb by today. actually, i have to lol. i might just be fighting a losing battle confidently, if you get what i mean. i'm not a bio person.

what was i about to say? lololol, senile.

uhm.. it's okay. i can't remember.

but hey, exams are ending in 2 more days!! (excl today) yahoo much.

okay back to studying.

p/s i don't want to know how much weight i've gained during this study period. mug = binge. it comes together.. for me at least.

/edit
it's now 3:13, i finally recalled what i wanted to post. hehe. so i took a nap from like 1-2 and wow in the dream, i dreamt of myself sleeping too. the exact same scene. just that i kept waking up, realising that the clock's ticking away.. 4pm.. 5pm.. 6pm.. and finally, 7pm. that was when i panicked and decided to get up and study. so when i actually woke up from the dream, i saw that it was only 2.30ish and i was like huh? my clock's spoilt? so i checked my phone and oh, okay i was dreaming. maybe my brain's trying to wake me up to study. imagine if i really did wake up at only 7 instead, my grades would have be in danger. grave danger.

the end.




stoked for christmas yo!






bee let's do this!



inph paper was OKAY.. it was manageable, but after knowing how many wrongs i've gotten, i'm feeling quite disappointed with myself now haha. i mean, maybe because inph is a relatively module to score. at least compared to the other 2.

oh well.

i just spend my entire afternoon sleeping.. very productive, i know. so if i mess up the other 2 papers, i've only myself to blame. gahhhhhhhhhhh.

i'll start at 430. yes! procrastination!


i think i'm spending way too much on food.

on friday.. 21 at cafe cartel.
on saturday.. 10 at hans (okay maybe this isn't that bad)
on sunday (today!!).. 19 at swensens, 7.50 at starbucks.

gahhhhh i'm in such bad need of moolah now, and holidays are coming!

p/s my mighty long (one & only!!) strand of white hair has fallen. depressing.



to pull me through CTs,
"LET GO & LET GOD."



my dear sera,

just in case you've forgotten, i'm here to remind you. you have an extremely important paper to take tomorrow, and of course, you're not supposed to be on the lappy playing miniclip games (esp bubble trouble). you're not supposed to be lying on the couch watching hongkong dramas for the entire morning. you're not supposed to be daydreaming about having the world's supply on kinder bueno in your room.

instead, you're supposed to be revising.

do you get that? and when you head down to changi later, you're prohibited to get distracted. it's illegal for you to be playing games on your handphone. you're only permitted to face the books and memorise whatever you have to for your exams. because well, that's only right.

and if you don't mind messing up your GPA once again like what you did in the previous semester, you can jolly well continue fooling around. but remember, don't regret after that.

that's all i've to say.

with love and hope,
sera.





God, your plans are wonderful. and it still amazes me :)

thank you Clarice,
thank you God :)

had dinner with sweetheart at hans today, mhmm. good dinner = fattening dinner. but it was pretty healthy 'cause it was dory fish! walked around church and wowwww, it's really beautiful at night. all the pretty lights and all, God's temple is so mesmerising :)

bought a new student bible!! all set to get it right with God. (sweetheart got the same one!!)


p/s we both like the book of Psalms!! <3



indeed.




i can still feel my heart thumping.


Sera Cheng says

zomgggggggg :)




this video makes so much sense. and i can't wait for christmas cantata!!

and wow i completed inph a lot faster than i thought i would! which is good because i really want to thank God for providing. just this morning, i was thinking to myself, how will i ever complete studying since i still have a pile of work left uncompleted which i ALSO have to hand in tomorrow.

1. cmb practical
2. obc reflection

so yupp!! and i was just praying to God to make a way, 'cause this quiz was really important to me. and God was so miraculous. he made today's practically really short. so we ended at 230 instead of the usual 4.

amen!

feeling utterly blessed right now. thank you Lord, for providing :)



i haven't posted at all today. and i'll make this quick, since i've only have 4 min left before i face my inph notes again. hahaha.. more like slam and throw a temper 'cause i don't get a thing it's saying.

what up with today? i don't quite remember actually.

oh yeah! i had cmb practical and it's more microscope again. i'm all ready to hand in my lab logbook to dr nevil! yesssss finally a homework and i've FULLY completed, that might actually be acceptably finished in teachers' point of view. okay good, i've accomplished something this week.. or this semester.

tomorrow's going to be a good day because i might be studying with dawn hun! and saturday's church.. sunday i'm studying out.. which means this weekend might actually be fun!! not the studying.. the studying OUT part haha :)

and then ct will start.. and after that, it's freedom babyyyyyy!

i'm actually surprised at how much i've typed in this short period, lol. that's what years of blogging do to you.

to think of it, should i mass delete my posts again? i'll probably regret though.

it's now 4:44.. i took 3min to type this load of crap out ha ha ha i'm amazed. oh look 4:45, bye guys!





ij was short today.. which is good i guess. i don't like brainstorming anyway. so yupp, it was only an hour long (Y) had s&w and we served a lot. i mean it. and that's when i realised my service sort of dropped in standard by quite a bit.

it's okay, i don't serve anyway.
libero ftw?

chatted with eileen a little before s&w began. short, but it was a good talk haha :)

i'm missing vball more and more each time.. oh yeah, should i join alumni cup? bee are you reading this?? tell me if you are ok!! :)


this was my hair this morning. couldn't deal with it.
