Fun-O-Rama XX

Went back to AC yesterday for Fun-O-Rama!! And armed with $50 worth of coupons -_-

Before that, Victoria, Pei Yan, Amelia and myself had dim sum lunch at Chinatown :D Which I'd say was pretty worth the money since the food was good and our tummies were really stretched after the meal...

There were A LOT of JC students at Buona Vista MRT for who-knows-what reason. I don't think they were all going/had gone for Fun-O-Rama, though. But there was a LONG trail of people walking towards the school, along the stretch of (currently in construction) condos. Or at least it seemed like the whole world was heading to ACJC. hahaha.

Once there, we met up with Jenisse Sheena and Tong. But then split up again cos' PY and I happened to see Jin Lin there, who ended up tagging along with us for the rest of the afternoon. We didn't play any games (PY & I refused to). Spent all our coupons on AC merchandise and food! Sat at LT3 - SCONE's cafe for the day - for a long time too, watching the performances :) But mainly to catch PY's classmates Chee and Lester's item.

What I bought:
1. 2 cups of Swensen's ice-cream (choc and strawberry, omg right)
2. Wanton
3. some mixed fruit drink
4. AC UMBRELLA!!! (really needed a new umbrella! after mine got overturned...)
5. cool mouse which lights up
6. 3 loaves of Gardenia bread for $2 (Jin Lin kept laughing at me and he told Brian abt this who joined in to laugh at me too. Why cannot buy cheap bread?!!)
7. (donated $5)

Hahah okay didn't really buy a lot of food cos' of the full dim sum lunch. It was, well, just like any other carnival. Hot, noisy, crowded, squeeze like mad at the void deck and outside the hall and near the walkway to the canteen. And lots of familiar faces of course :) Ms Too (CCA teacher) said the staff room is open for open house every 2 years HAHA. Cos' of all the Old Boys and Girls walking in and out with/looking for their teachers. I didn't manage to talk to Mdm Tham (my bio teacher who gave weekly consultations) cos' she was being swarmed with ex-students.

I'm a happy girl cos' I got a new umbrella and mouse and said hi to numerous friends today and (together with PY) managed to drag Jin Lin into playing for Encore this year!

How can Jerviel not be at 18/3 Hotel IP??? He's Event OIC! I will die under the other OIC who's gonna stand-in for him!!!!!! Omg ttm.

): ): ): ): ): ): ):

Watch yourself.

You're getting on my nerves. Don't test me.

A level results - the aftermath

Dear Lord,
Please show me the way.

--
I'm thankful for my colleagues - mainly the perm staff - who were there to offer their support just before I left the office yesterday, and after the collection of the slip.

I'm really thankful for my current cell group; they're all very nice and encouraging about the results. I felt so crushed I thought I'd need deliverance or something. I'd still be mega depressed now if not for their prayers and encouragements and advice from their own life stories. It does help that they've been through this and can offer their own experiences and learning points to help the fresh A levelers and would-be undergraduates. Of course I"m thankful for my ex-leaders who, I believe, were praying for us too.

It just makes me wonder...

In times like this, do students turn to religion to deceive themselves in the hope of thinking that everything would be fine (somewhat like running away from reality) or because they truly believe in what their god can or would do for them? In short, is it faith that pulls them through...or are they merely psychoing themselves?

Some pray harder, make more offerings, do more good deeds, etc. I think doing these will ease their minds, make them feel better about themselves.

I can't really think coherently now, and am thus unable to generate a decent blog post/essay.

I'm not ruling out psychology as a major, though. Yay, arts/humanities/social sciences.

This feels like a test of my faith.
When I don't get my desired results, will I still continue to trust God wholeheartedly, and seek His counsel, follow the path He has laid out for me? (default answer: yes)
As of now, I can't see the future at all. It's a blur and I don't see no path. Yet.

Please be more understanding if I do not reply tags/messages/answer calls, as stated on my current MSN PM. :)

You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name

Doomz day soon

I've said this before, but can never emphasise this enough.

Time flies.

My heart is racing, my forehead is wrinkled. I can't stop frowning. I want time to stop so that I will never have to receive my A level results.

*rolls eyes*. How childish, to think that way.

But sometimes that's what I really just want to do. Yeah, I know, life goes on, but, !@#$%^&*( oh man I just wanna sleep and never wake up. Dream dream dream and never stop dreaming. Don't wake up so that I can keep swimming in my little perfect world.

I'm not making any sense. I need to sleep.

The battle has been won, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Whatever I see before me tomorrow will be the product of my (non-existing) hard work in 2008-2009.
