New cure for coughing individuals! Drink coke. Serious!
Most of you will know that I've been coughing badly ever since I came back from Indonesia.
No, I didn't go to the doctor cos' I don't want my parents to spend so much money on me.
I keep going out, so each time I do that I'll need to spend money.
Taking money like this makes me feel guilty.
So I just told them that the doc would give the same kind of medicine which we still have at home. Those black coloured liquid which causes drowsiness.
But I wasn't consistent in taking the med.. and the cough persisted for almost a month.
On Saturday night, however, I drank a HUGE cup of coke at the cinema.
And ta-da, I'm healed! hahaha... God heals in strange ways.
I slept like a log on Saturday night. Or rather, Sunday morning.
You'll never guess what I dreamed of.
Well, part of that dream came true. It was freaky.
I dreamed that I had menses and I stained both the front and back of my shorts.
Then when I woke up and went to relieve myself in the morning, I saw blood -___-
Yesterday afternoon was like hell for me.
I went to church in the morning, and was fine.
I went for lunch with my family plus grandparents, and was fine.
I went to Sheng Siong with them, pushed the trolley, was damn sian, and was (still) fine.
I took a nap upon stepping into the house... dunno why I was that tired.
Then I woke up quite suddenly with a strong urge to go and shit.
this post is going to be gross. you've been warned.
So I went to the toilet and tried to shit. Ok, I did shit.
I had constipation la.
There was an excruciating pain in my stomach.. and nothing I did could ease that pain.
I tried sitting in different positions, leaning on the wall to my right, leaning back, grabbing my dad's trousers which was hanging on the wall (and dropped afterwards), shifted my legs here and there but to no avail.
I tried praying, but all I could say was "Lord, help me..." in desperation.
It was so terrible, I couldn't even say a proper prayer.
The song we sang for ministry in church that morning was on repeat mode in my head though.
"Through it all, I know my God is in control"
and I held on to that though it seemed I was going to die just by sitting on the toilet bowl
The pain seared for a long time.. was just... tormenting.
which left me drenched in perspiration.
I clutched my stomach the whole time. It was so painful, I was close to tears.
Ah I dunno how else to describe.
Then the moment I feared arrived. I wanted to puke.
I vomited my lunch out.. it felt horrible, could see the chicken rice there...
Maybe that's how God helped me, because after puking, I felt a lot better.
All the energy was drained out though. I was dead beat after the battle with my digestive system in the toilet.
This sucks especially when you're having your 'time of the month'.
As if the cramps help at all...
After what felt like hell in the toilet, I managed to drag myself to my bag to get my phone. haha.
It was THAT bad.
Replied msges... there was one from a blur Timothy (happy birthday, boy!) that read
"Ahh wait. Im confused. I was msging my cousin ur msgs and msging u my cousin's. Both ur numbers so similar." Lol, so cute, I couldn't resist putting this up here.
I didn't take my dinner that night, for fear of vomiting.
I only ate some sweets and some oreo cookies later in the night.
Feeling better now, that's why I'm online blogging and conferencing with Jia Yan and Kenneth on the phone.
Watcnight service, watchnight service!

As 2007 comes to an end, i will take only fond memories with me, leaving unpleasant ones behind.
I will release regrets and guilt I still cling on to.
Thank You Lord for seeing me through the year, for it has been a year of ups and downs.
The common tests, exams, SYF, Japan trip, handbell performances, prelims, O levels, church events, mission trip ... ... ...
God saw me "through the seasons".
Glad to say that my faith has been strengthened.
The road ahead is narrow
The way is sometimes steep
And only the committed claim the prize
But standing at the finish
With arms outstretched to greet us
Is the One who has endured the race
And paid the final prize
Dare to run
With our eyes fixed on Jesus
Following the footsteps
of the One who's gone before us
Dare to run
In the power of the spirit
Born to be victors
in the race already won
Dare to run
With that, I'd say I'm ready for 2008

ok, i know my testimony's overdue.
i'm still working on it. just taking a break by blogging.
at first i thought that i wouldn't be able to produce one.
but how can one go on a mission trip saying they don't have a testimony? it's ridiculous.
haha.
so yea i dragged myself and started a new word document.
and everything just flowed quite nicely.
it's 3 pages and counting.
i dunno how to reduce it to 1 page later.
i'm taking SO freaking long to complete ONE testimony. lol.
that's funny.. to think that i actually thought i would only write half a page.
kinda underestimating myself... or rather, God's blessings.
it's like writing an essay!!!
uncle Dong's chasing for the CP data, but Beatrice has yet to send out the template..
how to key in?
i just sent Bea and Stacia the scribing journal which lacked info and yet was overloaded with details. contradicting huh. it was 10 pages long la -.-
now there's the testimony which i'm rushing to complete...
and next there's the CP data, still awaiting the template! roar.
school's starting next week leh. so fast.
now i'm not sure i'm looking forward to it. SRJC. hmm.
went to clarke quay and bugis with yi jia on monday. spend money spend money $_$
bought clothes lor. and caught up with her.. never see her for awhile.
then went to fiona's party at her house. turnout wasn't that fantastic but we enjoyed ourselves la, with the movies and food and countdown.
we created a din there. no other household seemed to be counting down to christmas!
and of course, the sms lines were jammed.
tuesday.. i stayed home to pack my room (i tried, really!)
and watch tv :) i love mediacorp.
andrew asked if i wanted to go out but i was a good kid, i stayed at home. haha.
conferenced with 4 other people until about 4.45am.
wednesday... went to church to help out for the notice board.
there was a power failure halfway and shoutss of "aiya wo de work mei you save leh!" were heard around the office. super funny.
some of us slected and printed out all the pictures and captions. yeong worked on the summary.
time did not permit us to work on the notice board itself, we only got most of the materials for the board ready.
church office is a cool place.
thursday was clique outing. er, slightly more than half the clique.
we went to vivo. i tell you ah,
EVERYWHERE ALSO SALE.
i couldn't resist the temptation and bought a top which was on offer.
like it a lot, you see. even had to borrow money from lai theng.
then we watched I am Legend without popcorn =(
brilliant show, i almost grabbed LT when those zombies suddenly jump out. i'd say it should be rated for gore instead of violence! very sad when the doggie died.
friday.. spent the whole day packing my room. looks a lot neater now.
i pasted the sec 1 to sec 4 class photos and peer lite photos on my bed frame.
so every time i walk in, it's like an influx of PL lites staring back at me. haha.
couldn't go out with char seow and fiona cos' i've been going out a lot. no money sia.
anyway they watched I am Legend. if i went with them, they'd have to watch another movie.
later on, going to lunch at home, go to macs to meet the sec 2s and 4s from the mission team '07 and eat SHAKER FRIES =P, go to church to do the board, go for youth service, go to marina south for steamboat with the SYF team =D, then midnight movie with ling ying and ethel.
Lord please hold back the cumulonimbus clouds!
whoo!

I went to Malacca with my family a few days ago.
Omg la, I LOVE the food!! Good food, good shopping, ... ...
What's more, it's safer than JB where crime rates are high.
My parents bought me 2 pairs of jeans (total RM 89.90), a bag (42), a pair of flats (29.90), pair of slippers (25.90 minus 20%), belt (15), skirt (109 minus 10%), shorts (79 minus 50%).
Haha.
I heard from the cell that they didn't go for midnight movie cos' "don't have Joyce's father to send (them) home" -___-
Next year la next year. We can also go on the 1st Jan after watchnight service =)
Conferencing is fun! *winks at newly-formed midnight gang*
I got to know Kara's cell a lot better. I. Think..
After giving out the presents on her behalf. Though I still can't remember most of their names.
Jia Yan has chicken pox. Lai Theng just recovered. Fiona has stomach flu and is on the road to recovery. My mum has fever. I'm still having a bad cough.
Wah, what is this?! Attack of the viruses or what...
Love Actually rocked. The drama team was really good, their acting can get them a place in MediaCorp la. hahah.
Food was good too. Ok I dunno what else to blog about... XY i updated =)

Old times
God has blessed little Singapore
1) by crowning Hady Mirza as the Asian Idol
2) with 43 gold medals (if i'm not wrong) at the recent 24th SEA games
(1) really caught me by surprise. When I saw it on the cover of The Straits Times, I was like "WHAT?! Hady????" It was totally unexpected, considering what I read another day about Sg Idol judge Ken Lim saying there's not enough support coming from Singapore. But I am nevertheless thrilled and proud to say that Singapore may be small, but she does have very talented citizens =)
43 golds may seem like nothing compared to the mighty Thailand which won i-don't-know-how-many golds, but it's certainly SOMETHING especially since we have a much smaller population and land area as compared to the other south-east Asian nations. Haha. (by the way, KENDRICK LEE ROCKS) The government is spending a lot on developing sporting youth talents. I see a bright future ahead of Singapore =) Man, I AM proud to be a Singaporean!
I came across my sec 2 cell's blog.
At first I thought, we even had a blog in the first place? Wow!
Well that's how pathetic it is. We were called iteens. Something which I don't even remember until I read somewhere inside the one blog posts.
It was last posted by Ivan Ong, one of our cell leaders then.
This is what it contained
And there Ivan said, "You are going into the mission fields & do things unseen & unheard of before... and shake the world ..." which some of us just did this December.
Sigh... I miss those times! I wanna cry already la...
I've kinda forgotten how it was like back then when we were in P6, sec 1 and sec 2.
I'm getting old! If that's the case, cell leaders are growing oldER! lol..

Hey!
Honesty when i read your posts and comments i really felt like crying, it may sound silly but i really love you guys(and gals!)... all of you! When i first started i was going through a reall rough patch due to a broken relationship and i was really considering if i should continue serving in teenz. During those early times, i really felt under certain & sometimes i would be really demoralized by the times when during cell discussion nothing would be said. Times like that really made me consider quitting and left me de-moralized but everytime i wanted to quit, God always made something good happen in cell and would remind me about all of you & that he always come through and that things would be even better then i could imagine... and look we are now! So different from how we started!
I'm really thankfully for each one of you.. you've all brightened my life up alot!(and im sure wan hui & joanne would agree.. haha) I think our cell has really changed alot since we've first started & now everyweek i look forward to seeing you guys at service! :)
I've really enjoyed the bondings & great times that we had.. (like waiting in the sun for hours to see hillsongs at FOP?)haha.. continue to grow in the lord & never lose sight of him okie? Draw nearer to him and be his good friend! :) I belive that you guys can do great things for God! Dont be afraid to dream BIG! During our last worship in the chapel i felt God saying that you(your generation of young people) are gonna do great works. You are going into the mission fields & do things unseen & unheard of before... and shake the world ...
I believe with all my heart that you guys will be able to do that, and do great miracles, heal the sick, raise the dead etc.. do things & go to places that we(my generation) have never been before... Amen! So never lose sight of God but instead always run to him when you are in trouble or tempted... lastly...
1 Timothy 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
Continue to shine for God!
Iv@n

Rain Camp
Dear Lord, I am ever so thankful... for everything that happened since December 1st.. You showed me so much within a short span of 11 days, You helped me to control my feelings a lot better, and my faith has also been strengthened by heaps. Thank You Daddy for loving me so much. Thank You for sending so many nice people who shower me with words of encouragement. Thank You for helping me to look at the bright side of things... The list goes on and on, Lord. Really, I can never thank You enough.
Now, where, and how to start?
I think I'll just put up the Microsoft Word document on the scribing from the Aceh trip up here for download when I'm done with it. It's freaking long.
RAIN camp saw a strength of about 250 campers from kids as young as 11 years old, all the way to, hmm, 30 plus I suppose. As expected, Pastor Glenn was superb.. His preaching made an impact on many of us. He made the Word of God seem fun to read, adding in many bits of funny things for us to go -_-|| over or laugh our hair out ('laugh our heads off' is too common).
What really got me to my senses was how much Christ suffered and went through for a sinner like me. Like us. I've been hearing so much of "Jesus died for you" until I kinda took it for granted. *rush of guilt* But after watching that scene from the Passion of the Christ which was Mel Gibson's interpretation of how Christ was treated before and during crucifixion, I was struck dumb and reminded that this was how the King of kings willingly gave up His life for us. He did not just die like this, he was tortured, so gruesomely... all out of love.
A church camp is never complete without salvations..........
FIONA TAN do I see your hand up? Lol seriously, no regrets getting Fiona and Xi Ying to go for camp! I think God was a lot more real to them. Imagine my joy when Fio said the bible is a cool book, and when XY said she received the gift of tongues! =D =D
It suddenly dawned upon me that the psalm which I thought of on the first day of camp,“For you created my innermost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well“. Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV)
was linked to Pastor Glenn's message that very day. He had talked about how there are SO many galaxies in this universe, and how small pluto is.
Even so, "He determines the number of the stars; and calls them each by name." Psalm 147:4 (NIV), something Quek was telling me on the istimewa team's first night at Layeun (He, Guo Sheng and I were at the seaside staring at the starry sky then). This was mentioned by Pst Glenn.
Also, I was just pondering over how the bible says, "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" in Luke 12:24... which was later (also) mentioned by the pastor.
Imagine, us, so many of us humans, so much smaller and seemingly, more insignificant than pluto... yet God crafts each and everyone of us so carefully when the nucleus of the ovum and sperm fuses together. Haha, the study of biology and geography have made me appreciate God's works a lot more.
I don't think the entry of these verses into my tiny head was anything like a coincidence. More like God telling me "hey, this is how much I treasure you..."
We need the Lord, but these days there are too many substitutes out there eh?
"Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare."
Isaiah 55:2
Likewise... the pleasures of the world are only temporary! It's eternal life after death that really counts. Lol.
Night games on the first day was omg. Haha.
I didn't play the ice-cream game whereby everyone in the group had to lie down and feed each other ice-cream. Cos' I was coughing. I'm STILL coughing actually.
The caterpillar game got my butt scratched by the grass... Mind you, we did it on the muddy field. The 'best' thing was I was wearing FBTs. The one uncle Dong describes as "banana shorts". So you get the picture. I hope I didn't expose too much.
The cobweb game is the one we almost always play at camps. To get every group member across without touching any of the strings. Each hole can only be used once. But we didn't complete it la.. They were carrying me through it and Evan shouted "support her butt!". -.-
Ok there were a lot of stations... and I don't want to describe everything.
Hehe. I slept like a log that night. Stacia told me she slept well.. We're trained already la, after Aceh, sleeping there was like whooooo, shiok.
For session 2 worship on the first day, I thought my cough would kill me and prevent me from singing. But it didn't. I even felt better la haha.
Session 3 worship was another story. During worship practice, I just stopped suddenly cos' all the phlegm was clogging up inside, and my --urgh-- singing would affect the rest of the team.
So yeah I went to sit down on the chair and watch the rest. This time it was so bad I thought, later don't need to sing already la, should have stayed with my camp group instead of leaving early for prac.
During the break I kope-d Fisherman's Friend from Melody, water chestnut from Abigail, lemon barely from Melody again, and then Pearlyn passed me a strepsil from Quek.
[was also during the break that I was described as Quek's "trump card"... which made me think of how the leaders in the worship team (and also out of the team la) never fail to keep on encouraging me]
It was like, prayers were answered! With the help of God and these people's lozenges and "magic drinks", I was alright during the worship itself =D It's a miracle, I was like transformed from a tenor to an alto within an hour! HAHA. Well yea... that shows how good my Daddy is.
I left halfway for my uncle's wedding dinner. He's someone I'm so NOT close to. I think I'm neither close to my aunts nor uncles from my mum's side.
Anyway the dinner was held at some restaurant near the campsite. After the dinner I called Wan Hui and she said they were still at church, and will only leave in 20 to 30 minutes. My dad then drove me all the way back. Along the way, I was actually quite worried that he can't drive back there on time.. But there was a still small voice which told me to trust God and be calm. True enough, the roads were smoother than usual, the traffic lights were mostly green (lol). Yeah then when I reached, everyone was getting up the buses, preparing to leave. Haha, this shows how God is faithful and just that little faith which I clung on to at that time can be magnified. So now I feel that I can trust Him even more.
On Monday, it poured when I was having lunch with Jace, XY and Fio. We wanted to go home. It was a bit difficult for XY and I cos' we had to cross the road. I thought, never mind la, just cross and get wet. However when we walked to the bus stop, ready to cross the road, the rain seemed to stop! It became a VERY slight drizzle so we happily walked across the road. It was only after that that it started to pour again. Another example of how God cares so much for me (us), even the slightest thing like letting us cross the road without getting too wet.
Lord, I'm truly amazed by You!
Now, where, and how to start?
I think I'll just put up the Microsoft Word document on the scribing from the Aceh trip up here for download when I'm done with it. It's freaking long.
RAIN camp saw a strength of about 250 campers from kids as young as 11 years old, all the way to, hmm, 30 plus I suppose. As expected, Pastor Glenn was superb.. His preaching made an impact on many of us. He made the Word of God seem fun to read, adding in many bits of funny things for us to go -_-|| over or laugh our hair out ('laugh our heads off' is too common).
What really got me to my senses was how much Christ suffered and went through for a sinner like me. Like us. I've been hearing so much of "Jesus died for you" until I kinda took it for granted. *rush of guilt* But after watching that scene from the Passion of the Christ which was Mel Gibson's interpretation of how Christ was treated before and during crucifixion, I was struck dumb and reminded that this was how the King of kings willingly gave up His life for us. He did not just die like this, he was tortured, so gruesomely... all out of love.
A church camp is never complete without salvations..........
FIONA TAN do I see your hand up? Lol seriously, no regrets getting Fiona and Xi Ying to go for camp! I think God was a lot more real to them. Imagine my joy when Fio said the bible is a cool book, and when XY said she received the gift of tongues! =D =D
It suddenly dawned upon me that the psalm which I thought of on the first day of camp,“For you created my innermost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well“. Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV)
was linked to Pastor Glenn's message that very day. He had talked about how there are SO many galaxies in this universe, and how small pluto is.
Even so, "He determines the number of the stars; and calls them each by name." Psalm 147:4 (NIV), something Quek was telling me on the istimewa team's first night at Layeun (He, Guo Sheng and I were at the seaside staring at the starry sky then). This was mentioned by Pst Glenn.
Also, I was just pondering over how the bible says, "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" in Luke 12:24... which was later (also) mentioned by the pastor.
Imagine, us, so many of us humans, so much smaller and seemingly, more insignificant than pluto... yet God crafts each and everyone of us so carefully when the nucleus of the ovum and sperm fuses together. Haha, the study of biology and geography have made me appreciate God's works a lot more.
I don't think the entry of these verses into my tiny head was anything like a coincidence. More like God telling me "hey, this is how much I treasure you..."
We need the Lord, but these days there are too many substitutes out there eh?
"Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare."
Isaiah 55:2
Likewise... the pleasures of the world are only temporary! It's eternal life after death that really counts. Lol.
Night games on the first day was omg. Haha.
I didn't play the ice-cream game whereby everyone in the group had to lie down and feed each other ice-cream. Cos' I was coughing. I'm STILL coughing actually.
The caterpillar game got my butt scratched by the grass... Mind you, we did it on the muddy field. The 'best' thing was I was wearing FBTs. The one uncle Dong describes as "banana shorts". So you get the picture. I hope I didn't expose too much.
The cobweb game is the one we almost always play at camps. To get every group member across without touching any of the strings. Each hole can only be used once. But we didn't complete it la.. They were carrying me through it and Evan shouted "support her butt!". -.-
Ok there were a lot of stations... and I don't want to describe everything.
Hehe. I slept like a log that night. Stacia told me she slept well.. We're trained already la, after Aceh, sleeping there was like whooooo, shiok.
For session 2 worship on the first day, I thought my cough would kill me and prevent me from singing. But it didn't. I even felt better la haha.
Session 3 worship was another story. During worship practice, I just stopped suddenly cos' all the phlegm was clogging up inside, and my --urgh-- singing would affect the rest of the team.
So yeah I went to sit down on the chair and watch the rest. This time it was so bad I thought, later don't need to sing already la, should have stayed with my camp group instead of leaving early for prac.
During the break I kope-d Fisherman's Friend from Melody, water chestnut from Abigail, lemon barely from Melody again, and then Pearlyn passed me a strepsil from Quek.
[was also during the break that I was described as Quek's "trump card"... which made me think of how the leaders in the worship team (and also out of the team la) never fail to keep on encouraging me]
It was like, prayers were answered! With the help of God and these people's lozenges and "magic drinks", I was alright during the worship itself =D It's a miracle, I was like transformed from a tenor to an alto within an hour! HAHA. Well yea... that shows how good my Daddy is.
I left halfway for my uncle's wedding dinner. He's someone I'm so NOT close to. I think I'm neither close to my aunts nor uncles from my mum's side.
Anyway the dinner was held at some restaurant near the campsite. After the dinner I called Wan Hui and she said they were still at church, and will only leave in 20 to 30 minutes. My dad then drove me all the way back. Along the way, I was actually quite worried that he can't drive back there on time.. But there was a still small voice which told me to trust God and be calm. True enough, the roads were smoother than usual, the traffic lights were mostly green (lol). Yeah then when I reached, everyone was getting up the buses, preparing to leave. Haha, this shows how God is faithful and just that little faith which I clung on to at that time can be magnified. So now I feel that I can trust Him even more.
On Monday, it poured when I was having lunch with Jace, XY and Fio. We wanted to go home. It was a bit difficult for XY and I cos' we had to cross the road. I thought, never mind la, just cross and get wet. However when we walked to the bus stop, ready to cross the road, the rain seemed to stop! It became a VERY slight drizzle so we happily walked across the road. It was only after that that it started to pour again. Another example of how God cares so much for me (us), even the slightest thing like letting us cross the road without getting too wet.
Lord, I'm truly amazed by You!

mission trip
The YPM mission troopers are back!
SO much has happened... so many events which I as the scribe failed to record omg. But still a lot la. Layeun Village is a beautiful [but (land) polluted] place.
This is weird, but my dad is having prata now with Uncle Dong, Freddy, Augustina and the unknown guy who shared a cab with Sheila (Tan) Beatrice and I.
I didn't want to go though I'd very much like to have prata too.
Do what there la, sit, stone and listen to them talk? How awkward.
Anyway I will not post about the mission trip today.
All I can say is, OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!! Amen? =)
Really loved the trip.

Cambridge Dinner and Preparations
I feel as if I haven't posted a proper blog entry since forever.
I've sorta lost touch with blogging.... NOT!! That will not happen! I will not allow that! Ahahaha.. Well for this post, we'll let the pictures do the talking, shall we? With some captions, of course.
Mission trip is only 2 days away. That's really fast!
Time flies. First we had prom shopping........... Hi Xi Ying!
It was both fun and headache for the Bishan Gang as we walked around for days, for hours, trying on dress after dress, heel after heel (for me la).
Oh, how we would moan and groan about not having enough time to shop. Recall, all that last minute shopping on prom day itself! Absolutely hilarious, if you ask me. All that havoc and panic.. and finally getting everything done. Dress, accessories, heels, makeup, hair, clutch,.
Our only problem was S + 1 = $. Cash flow. Well, duh, after making a dent in our parents' as well as our own pockets. Here's my prom expenses.
Prom ticket (actually there was no ticket) -- $75
Transport to and from Swissotel (estimated) -- $5.50
Nail polish (Missha) -- $2.90
Dress (Far East Plaza, Urban Mix) -- $66
Shawl (Far East Plaza, Urban Mix) -- $17
Heels (U.R.S. inc, from Merto) -- $29
Clutch (BHG Bugis) -- $21.50
Hair and makeup -- $40
Total: $256.90
Then we had it. The Cambridge Dinner, otherwise known as prom for our school.
I won't ever forget the dilemma I was put in.. I almost could not go for this dinner.
Thus I'm forever grateful to my Daddy in heaven who postponed the Mission Trip and made it possible for me to make my presence at Swissotel.
I've uploaded most of the photos to Friendster. But no matter, I shall put them here again.
Here we have Chelsie, unique name yea, who stays at Kovan Melody with Fiona.
Wen Yi and Pearlyn
Apart from the worm found in Wen Yi's plate of vegetables, the food was good. I liked everything from the first course (cold dish) to the dessert. Easily satisfied? Nah. That's partly because I didn't have my breakfast and lunch. We shared the table with some sec 5s whom I would say, were quite friendly. Anyway here's the clique without Wen Qin... who paid $75 and didn't turn up. I koped this from LT's blog.
Music Class of 2007 in the next 2 photos. We're like the most bonded class in the entire school.
It was a night to remember, as camera flashes were seen throughout the night. The constant chattering of girls... a distinct trait of an average PL-lite. TALK. haha I wonder why Ms Gan and Mr Tang weren't there.
I think it's a tradition, to sing a school theme song at school events. It was heartwarming to see everyone singing with pride, arms around one another. The last major school event for us all. When will we sing songs like this together again? Singing is part of PL's culture, since we have singspiration every morning...
However. The singing of the school anthem was ??!?!?!?! Why is this so? This question remains unanswered. Hey Lai Theng I think I look better here than in your blog leh. 
Omg Ethel Sim! Same shawl! At the background you see people taking class photos. 
And guess what, they played the MARCH as background music. That definitely got everyone laughing and saying "what the hell", also giving the -_-" face. It was rather cute though. The march is heard every morning as a signal for us to assemble at the assembly area.. Sitting next to 4C2 in for morning assemblies, is 4C1. Cheryl is one of them. Note the people making funny poses behind her. Haha no offence okay.
Class photo (Pei . Neither Mrs Ong nor Mrs Chong is inside. They didn't go for the Cambridge Dinner =( While every other class had their form teachers in their class photos, ours had neither form teacher nor co-tutor. That's just, sad. But Miss Kok, my favourite maths teacher, put herself into our class photo so at least we won't look as though we're teacher-less. She's so darn nice. I love Miss Kok! In the photo, we have our very own Tania Soh (Filch) who won the title of MISS CHARISMATIC!!!!!!! Tania we're so proud of you =)
Sharon... Together we AIM to get into ACJC. But whether we do get in or not, that's another thing altogether.
This is Sheila, class position 1/29. I wonder why her partner turns out to be so mental?
(her partner = me)
The one who neighs... my neighbour, the pretty horse.
Pearlyn and Ling Jia
Ok I'm getting tired of loading photos. So lets just jump to the end. The night ended with more photo-taking and Mr Lim chasing everyone out of the freaking ballroom.
Walked the loooooong way to the MRT station (City Hall if I'm not wrong), our feet aching from the killer heels, and continued to cam-whore in the train =D
That night the 3 of us slept in Jia Yan's room. Xi Ying slept first, then Kenneth called Jia Yan and she put him on loudspeaker and we talked until 4 plus, then I fell asleep halfway and Jia and K continued to talk until who-knows-what-time. Power sia.
The next day, which was yesterday, we had mission trip preparations.
It's the 2nd round of prep for the week. I missed the 1st round because of prom haha.
I'm tired so I'll just cut what I want to say and post the photos. I'll edit the post to add in more stuff tomorrow. If there's time.
The 2 Joshuas... one working, one slacking!
Jacelyn ar! You ok or not?!

one day to prom
This is freaking me out...
This year alone, 2 o level students met with accidents.
The holy innocents' guy was Iris' ex-classmate.
The victoria guy was Andrew's friend.
oh. my. gosh.
And just yesterday, one of the five missing (now found) dragon boaters in Cambodia, Stephen, was Priscilla's cousin.
I used the right tense, right?
Pris I know this is very hard for you to take, at least now we know your cousin is safe in God's hands.. we're all very proud of him, and the others, for representing Singapore... it was most unfortunate that something like this has to happen. I really hope your family and your relatives will not be too affected by it.. we're all deeply saddened by the news, we as a nation =(

some quizzes/surveys
OK. Here's what I put for PAE, in order of choices.
I'll end up in SR, I just know it. What with my kind of results haha. SR, HERE I COME! I only put AC as first and second choices cos' my heart is with AC (this sounds so fake HAHA). Lol I think it's just cos' PL's affiliated and I like the culture there and their performing arts pwn other JCs. YJ doesn't seem too bad, they got an academic value-added (gold) for the A level results, and they have flexible subject combinations. They offer music too =D

after O's
2441/0236's life ends here.
I'm back!
Thank You Lord for seeing us through O's....
And now can someone explain why I'm not feeling glad? It's like, over.
One whole month of intensive studying and headaches, and now there's nothing.
I'm at a loss. 3/4 of me wants to go back to study. What's the point of studying now????
=(
Bishan library gang / OLM people were of a great support during that period.
Dear God, I pray that you will help the remaining treblers to handle the notes well....
Can someone explain, again, why I dread handbell practice tomorrow?
I used to love the practices. (I still love the bells) It's totally different now.
Is it because 1) I got 24 freaking points for CCA and am not happy with an A2
or 2) Only 3 out of 5 in my section will be playing?
Charlene is going to Sarawak I think, and apparently Ling Ying has dental appointment. (... ...)
It's no easy feat. I don't know how the $!#*!$%)@$ are we going to manage everything.
I've lost the 'feel' of the SYF pieces. Mood and feeling are factors which make up a good performance, and now that I lack these, I think I'll only make things worse for everyone.
Gosh I feel terrible.
God will make a way I guess.
I'm back!

one more paper
Went to Vivo with Xi Ying yesterday,
went there again today with XY, Fio and Hil.
We had a Merlionster from Ben & Jerry's today.
I was reminded of last year...
I've had B&J's with a number of people now, but none can replace them I guess.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3: 12-14
Philippians 3: 12-14
Because of this, I know I should not let my (sucky) performance in the other papers affect my upcoming exams -- maths paper 2, chinese paper 1 and 2, poa paper 2, science bio paper ??, ss, science paper 1, elec lit, geog paper 1, music listening paper, poa paper 1 -- for after everything I know I can say without regret,
"I have done my best."
Help me to run this last lap, give me strength Lord.. I commit all my papers into your hands... I will do whatever I can, and Father I know You'll take over from there..

when i was in sec 1, i would look at the sec 4s and think, woah, they have no life. whole day study.
when i was in sec 2, i said... still got time. thank God i'm not in sec 4.
when i was in sec 3, i told myself.. there is still time... but you'll suffer like them next year.
now that i'm in sec 4, ............... it's like omg, what did i do for the past three-and-a-half years? rejoice and celebrate youthfulness? play my secondary school life away? o's are here. i'm almost halfway through it. it's so freaking fast, don't even have time to eat and sleep. ok i'm exaggerating.
years later, when i look back at my old entries (i hope blogger wont close down), i know i'll laugh and say, "those were the days...".
random random random stuff...

Almost
I was on the verge of erupting... the oceanic and continental plate collided and there were earthquakes at the subduction zone...
I came online, and the first thing I see is an MSN conversation window started by Nd Quek. Someone I least expect to talk to (dunno why) unless it's about worship. I copied the first part of the convo.
"juz suddenly felt like praying for u.."
It's like, woah, perfect timing... God knows me inside out. My every problem and anxiety. So he sent Nd to pray for me. God knows me so well, it's scary. This prayer means so much...
also thanks to your smses, they made me feel alot more relaxed =)

the time is drawing nearer...
So, mission trip, or prom?
I am about to make the decision.....
People say, your secondary school prom is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You are only a secondary four student once. You can always go for the mission trip again next year.
I say, I have already missed this year's church camp for the Japan trip. What if, next year this time, another event like this crops up and clashes again? Am I going to keep saying 'yes' to school, 'no' to church, though both are optional?
Pastor Jenny and the youth leaders say, put God first. Give priority to Jesus. Just as He always gives priority to us, and we are never at the back of His mind.
God says... (well actually I haven't got a clue.)
My parents tell me, "up to you", something which (I'm sure) others would want their parents to say to them.
I choose..................................................

bishan library
oh
my
gosh
Seriously, the cat high sec 4s at bishan library are just %!#*@&$(*%U#%!!!!
According to Jia Yan who was there early at nine plus before the library opened, they were there already, waiting for the doors to open.
And they ran for the tables. Literally. All the way to the top floor to reserve all the tables.
They stay there from 10am to 9pm, the library's opening hours.
How do we know? We were there from 10 to 9 too.
(fine, not me... i had tuition in the morning. the rest of the OLM bishan gang came early. we went yesterday too, but left early.)
WAH BEST. BEST. Plus it's half of AARON's class. Yes, BFC's Aaron.
I feel like murdering him this Saturday. But his birthday coming so must resist.
Okay I am quite lazy to blog in more detail about our horrendous studying experience and I shouldn't be blogging in the first place... because the O LEVELS HAVE ALREADY STARTED. SHOULD BE MUGGING INSTEAD.
Study leave is good. We don't have to wake up so early.
------
I found this here, very funny and good description of the morning scene outside bishan library.

Today acompanied Rachel to study. Went to Bishan library. Saw the Catholic High Sch nerds.They so KIASU loh. 10am library open, they arrived early just to stand in front of the door.You know why?
Besides chopping seats,they gotta make their 100m sprint! Wa,once the door is opened, they LITERALLY SPRINTED up to the top floor to chop seats. I was caught surprised by their kiasu-ness sial. I've not seen any nerds so enthu about studying for O levels sial. Knn. Catholic High nerds.

staying up but not for long
Random thoughts...
1) From now until the end of O's, I will be known as 2441/0236 =)
2) When I tag at tagboards, it's ALWAYS "joyce" with a small "j". Always. Except for now when I'm using my index number.
I quote from Timothy...

So yes, hang in there, cos' we have Jesus! =)everyone else is studying so that it will get them good results.
it's something they must do, or else they'll fail. right?
not you.
you study because its the process of getting your good results.here's a scenario:
you, bought by Jesus' blood, blessed tremendously cos' of your Daddy.
the world, still lost and without the blessings you have.
to get the great results, you need to the bus ticket.
Jesus already bought it for you, even overpaying for it.
the world, needs to buy the ticket through crazy studying.
so since you already have the ticket, you study because you know you're already on the bus to great results.
You already have the Ticket. The World doesn't.
relax and know that you're on the bus to victory. :)

end of 10 years
That's it.
Gone. 10 years of education at PLMGS.
That's the end of our daily morning assembly with devotion and singspiration, announcements and silent reading. And of course the times when we had to stand and sit so many times.
I don't have to visit the General Office every morning to write my name in that small book anymore, because I don't have an EZ-link card and am thus unable to clock in via the electronic system thingy. Mdm Toh and Ms Orin (receptionists) can still see me everyday as long as they don't take down the school mission and vision thing in the office, cos' got my face there (handbell syf team treblers 07)
Daily routine? Not anymore.
We got our report books on Thursday. My music marks were entered wrongly, thanks to Mr Ng. Mrs Ong very kindly stayed back to make amendments to it, got Mrs Lee to acknowledge it, and returned it to me at 5 plus. My percentage and class position went up by one mark/notch. Had OLM bonding again at Compass Point.
Is the school biased? Many would say yes.
I'm not making my stand here because this is the Internet, the WWW.. once a teacher finds out and reports it, I'll risk having my testimonial forfeited.
Example 1: only photographs of the GwH music groups this year were featured in the General Office this year, among many others such as the debate team and..?
Example 2: Founder's Day service. The school announced that the sec 4E/5N had the privilege of sitting in the concert hall for the service (for obvious reasons). On the day itself, they told the supposedly stupider classes that they were to sit at the canteen to make way for guests. The affected classes voiced their displeasure, only to be turned away flatly. [they had the sense to shift everyone back to the concert hall in the end. though they didn't see the tears shed when we were chased down to the canteen/basement. don't the teachers know how much this service will means to graduating students?]
I think I'm going to sit on the fence.

O level Music Practical
OLM bonding makes me happy!
What is this now la... a daily affair??
A lot of people have been asking me how was my practical. So my reply will be "go and read my blog"
Basically they gave us a FANTASTICALLY FANTASTIC piano to practice at the reporting room...
Tone touch pedal sound and everything was perfect, like the best upright piano one could ever touch.
BUT in the exam room... omg. We get a sucky piano. The keys on the higher octaves were so soft and loud and nice and everything, a sharp contrast to the lower keys.
The pedals? Hard to press =/
Oh and guess what?
I keep getting flashbacks of the wonderful mistakes I made during the exam.
For example...
I had to play 9 consecutive THICK chords at ff (super loud) but I banged on the first 6 chords wrongly for my Clementi piece.
Best right?
Still have more. But I want to stop thinking about it!
I was supposed to play at 1655 HOWEVER, the examiners dragged everything and I ended up playing at around 1730! Damn tiring ok! Plus I went into the same room 3 times in total... Twice before my own (supposedly) arranged time. But by the time it came to my turn, I sat outside the room feeling so physically and mentally exhausted, I didn't even feel nervous.
What's the use? Still made mistakes like nobody's business.
Anyway... I think all the PL girls who took the exam yesterday didn't play well la. Right?
Today's better. Charmaine Hilary and Grace.
THANK YOU CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE *AHEM* PIANO. THANKS A LOT MAN.

BibleGateway.com's verse of the day, a reminder of how we should stand up for Christ =)
Putting everything in a nutshell now.
Friday (28/9) morning was spent in the home economics room in school.. Thank God I did not dream of walnuts or brownies that night. Can die ok. Just baking them can make one's tummy full. Don't ask how.
Saturday (29/9) was the day we all looked forward to. THE fair. That's the first time I saw PL so packed with people. My non-school friends all came at the same time. Haha and some half of BFC came which was quite a surprise =)
I spent the day with friends in and out of PL, working with different classmates, helping when it wasn't my shift (peak period), shouting like a mad woman ("brownie with ice-cream $2!!!"), serving customers, panicking when we ran out of cups and spoons, ......
Had a roaring good time with BFC girls for dinner. hahah
Sunday (30/9) chinese and maths tuition. study with some girls
Today (1/9) Mrs Lee declared it a holiday BUT we the mighty OLM girls went down to CHS to test their piano... all I can say is this ----> I LOVE PL.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Friday (28/9) morning was spent in the home economics room in school.. Thank God I did not dream of walnuts or brownies that night. Can die ok. Just baking them can make one's tummy full. Don't ask how.
Saturday (29/9) was the day we all looked forward to. THE fair. That's the first time I saw PL so packed with people. My non-school friends all came at the same time. Haha and some half of BFC came which was quite a surprise =)
I spent the day with friends in and out of PL, working with different classmates, helping when it wasn't my shift (peak period), shouting like a mad woman ("brownie with ice-cream $2!!!"), serving customers, panicking when we ran out of cups and spoons, ......
Had a roaring good time with BFC girls for dinner. hahah
Sunday (30/9) chinese and maths tuition. study with some girls
Today (1/9) Mrs Lee declared it a holiday BUT we the mighty OLM girls went down to CHS to test their piano... all I can say is this ----> I LOVE PL.

Her heart sank as she fixed her eyes on the numbers that determined her grade on her examination script.
"My fault again... Why didn't I give my best?" she muttered under her breath.
Regret took its place in her, invading her, overwhelming her, diffusing into every part of her. She failed to understand why she had, time and again, allowed distractions to obstruct her path to success.
She sat helplessly at her desk, staring blankly at her school mates whose eyes reflected joy that she thought she will never be able to have.

youth ablaze worship
Good job Team 2 vocalists! We did it! Whenever Nd leads, it spells d-i-e for his backup singers because I think he's a counter-tenor. The keys are ALWAYS very high.
Yesterday's Rain Down and Holy is the Lord really stretched us but we didn't kill chickens!
Christel and Nd even said we handled the high notes well hahahah yay praise the Lord.
Addicted to Sonata Op. 13 "Pathetique" 2nd movement

post-preliminary exams
Yucks I hate the colour here why can't they have a nicer one!
4c2's informal photo
DISC profiling ---> I'm a peacemaker! hahaha it's so true.
At least that's what I think. I'm not a dominating kind of person.
Stayed back in school with Hilary (Tan) and Charmaine (Seow), the D ppl.
Wah they were debating and arguing over small matters.. -.-
And I found myself trying to shut them up. Just like what the report says.
OH it also states that I can be a social worker and police officer and teacher ... ...
Don't have accountant or musician leh sad.
I wanna complain about my music teacher.
For CA3 practical, he wrote LONNNNNG comments for my entire music class except for me.
I got a 2-line comment. Like hello how am I going to improve if you only write 2 lines?
For my O level music composition, same thing, tell everyone how they can improve, but when he heard mine, guess what he said?
"Mmm. Yours is ok. Good."
And he walked to another girl. Wahlao. I'm not perfect lor he could have just helped me but no, never. The rest of the class got a different treatment.
For prelim, practical, SAME THING. He commented on everyone else's playing, but not mine.
I asked if there was anything I can improve on, asked him to talk about mine, but he just gave the same lame excuse that he couldn't focus/couldn't remember much because there are many students. "It was ok," again.
...
wth?? hey can you not always do this to me?
Lastly. He has the whole class' contact numbers. I know this because I received an SMS from him, ONCE.
After that I never got anything.
There was once he sent a msg regarding some extra lesson.. and I didn't get it.
I only discovered there was an extra lesson when I think Fiona asked me if I was going.
I thought he had simply missed my name.
I thought only.
Today Hil, Jia Yan, Xi Ying, Fiona and Char all received the same msg from him, and I got nothing.
If not for them, I would have been kept in the dark about the returning of our prelim paper.
Missed my name? right....
I know I shouldn't be thinking this way, it's very negative.
I shouldn't bear grudges too. However I can't help but notice I'm treated differently from the rest you know. Urgh, ok, whatever. Looks like I really have to depend a lot on self-studying for music.
Got a huge problem now...
Prom (27 Nov) clashes with the mission trip to Aceh (27 Nov to 1 Dec).
I really want to go for BOTH
BUT, I've already paid for the prom! $60 you know..
Lord, where do You want me to go?
It's my last year in PL. This graduation dinner means a lot to most of us.
I don't want to miss the mission trip either,
HOw how how how????
It's hard to say that I'll do whatever the Lord leads me to.
Very difficult.
But look at Abraham... He was willing to give up his son, "whom (he) love(s)".
Am I giving up the graduation dinner which marks the end of my journey in PLMGS, or the opportunity to work with the less fortunate...?
(The Potter's Hand is playing on my iTunes now... know what Darlene is singing? "Take me, mould me, use me, fill me. I give my life to the Potter's Hand". Haiz this feels like a test. Btw my iTunes is on shuffle.)

perfect day to chill out (not)
I can do it, but I choose not to.
Not weak but meek you see...
Obedience isn't a sign of weakness.
Learned a lot from Saturday's youth service =)
Hmm that morning, Horse, Joanne, Madeline and I went for the ACJC open house.
Saw a few familiar faces - Gerdine who's in band, Charlotte (tht's her name right?) in strings, Hillary's good friend (crap forgot her name) in table tennis, Johanna from ???, Nicole Mao's face on the student council board...
Aaaaah their performing arts.....!! Saw their CO playing, and their dance (I was too awed to take a photo)
They lowered the cut-off point.. I think I can forget about going there haha.
Late 3 times = 1 demerit point! Journey there takes more than an hour, am I willing to sacrifice that kind of time to travel all the way there?
Wait a minute. I can't even get below 15 points -.- maybe poly is a better choice?
Plus, there's no PE! wahahahs
Sunday - went back to school for duet practice with Fiona and Jia Yan.
Our concert hall/auditorium was being used for some musical.
I've got no comments about Monday's elective lit. Neither do I have anything to say about yesterday's ss. Just gotta manage my time better and memorise the correct facts. Maths? Better not say anything until the results are out.
The examination hall looks intimidating, really.
Ohohoh the SAF vocal ensemble is freaking cool!
Melody says the reason for my early ______ is because of stress.
I think so too. My skin is rebeling as well.
Running the race.. keeping the faith?
Wonder how it's like to be crooked (as in not straight) uh,never exactly thought of that before.

blogging my life away
My current state of mind is one that reflects millions of question marks.
Can you see them emerging from the shadows?
It wasn’t what I thought had turned out to be.
I’m in no position to judge, but it appears that it is taking a u-turn…?
Maybe she's right. I have given some thought to her words lately.
Apparently... the stronger ones will not do things against their better judgment.
Let our old robes sit easier than our new indeed!
Reminder to self: I don't have the right to judge others; therefore I will remain neutral on the surface. Surface only. But here, and deep inside… it spells c-o-n-f-u-s-i-o-n
I need to pray more and read the Bible more, I need God more than ever...
"I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and it's all about You.. all about You, Jesus"
Inside is a thirst so desperate to be quenched. So empty, so helpless without the Saviour.
Of course this is definitely not the time to get all screwed and emotional, neither is it the time to go in-depth thinking about stuff.
As people always tell me, “don’t think so much.”
Hello, preliminary examinations.
This will bore you so don’t read.
I think I won’t be able to go far as a solo performer. I’ll do much better with a performing arts group. Ensemble, for example. Hehe I’ve already made up my mind about which CCA to join in poly/JC. My only concern is, will I be taken in if I have music background (grade 8 piano/music O level/grade 2 violin/handbell ringer in a well-known ensemble) but no prior knowledge or rather, very minimal knowledge about the this particular CCA I want to seal myself in? Usually when I start to have an interest in a particular music group, I’ll do almost anything within my means to be part of it.
I remember those days, back when I was in P6. I knew I was going to PL Sec. And I made up my mind, JOIN HANDBELLS, which was my first choice. Harp was 2nd choice, guzheng 3rd. The latter wanted to take me in but I hesitated and turned down their offer (on the day of the audition), why? Because if I got into PLHB, good. If I didn’t, I’d end up in
Horse and I saw Paul Twohill at Macs just now!!!!
The one at Kovan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg omg omg
I know his hair sucks but still...!
