hello
another rough day.
i wonder if it's just me complaining or what.
but anyway, had a long 3 hr meeting with ben and janice regarding our group today
to be honest, was quite upset during the meeting. it was a mixture of anger and disbelieve.
struggling to cope with negative emotions recently. just havent been feeling happy :/
went to my uncle's jap eatery yesterday.
the food there is NICEEEEEEE
good quality! (:
me likes. the sushi is much better than those at sakae sushi
and the saba, teriyaki salmon, fried chicken are awesome too. wheeee!!
then at night, went to Aaron's house with my mom. mom had to leave early as she had to attend to some stuff. so i chose to stayed on.
turns out to be a DIY karaoke session. haha. his relatives like to sing.
so we sang christmas carols and oldies.
i know i like some old songs, but some of the songs they sang were seriously old! haha. dont think i was born when those songs were popular.
hahaha it was fun listening tho.
TILL I HAD TO SING A SONG.
say whhhuuttttt?!??!?!?!
no escaping. so i sang some lame song ):
so embarrassing. and i dont know why i kept coughing after that. tsk tsk.
eye opening experience. haha.
in some way, it felt special cuz never really 'celebrate' christmas the way they do unlike in my family. cuz my extended families are not christians.
at most we eat.
like today.
we went to onedegree15 AGAIN! FOR THE 1OOTH TIME!
getting sick of that place.
but the roast pork there was SUPERB. the only time i eat the fats on the roast porkyy
wooooo. but i think it's like $9 for 9 small square pieces?
but yea. all my uncles were there.
and guess what. the last time one of my uncles went to sentosa was 14 years ago.
YES. FOURTEEN.
hahaha. he must have been living under a rock.
during dinner i casually asked my grandfather if he could lend me his car as he is gg to china in january.
and i think he almost choked. HAHA. okay. still no luck in putting my driving skills to use. SAD
anyway, ate till i almost exploded.
came back and ate ice cream log cake.
YUMZ!
leaving for aust in 2 days. currently taking orders for slippers. lol.

worried about my group and stuff. but also excited that the youths wld be able to do so much more next year.
after i got back home, napped and headed out to meet germs, sheryl and wendalyn at holland.
had everything with fries and drinks at wala wala.
the waiter had tatoos all over his arms. so we thought he was gnna be real scary.
turns out he spoke really softly and gently.
haha.
and AFTER we had ordered our alcoholic drinks and were already 1/3 into having them,
he came over to ask us if we were 18. like hello?
a bit late. haha. but alright.
had a jagerbomb. me likes! love redbull.
listened to germaine's love stories and then headed home. HAHA.
it's christmas eve tomorrow.
and honestly, it doesnt feel at all to me.
i dont have the mood to 'celebrate' christmas somehow.
my mind is still somewhere, nowhere.
everything has just been a mad rush and im just moving with the crowd right now.
so i hope everything wld b able to settle down before the year ends.
just brain dead again.

but we did bond quite well.
we played really bizzare games.

i paired up with ben
and he rubbed the soap on his legs.
and when he passed the soap to me, it was covered with his leg hair.

hello all,
so now that exams are over, my brain is fried. I CANNOT THINK.
it's like i have never used my brain SO MUCH IN MY LIFE.
ugh. feel like dying.
havent caught up on my sleep at the moment.
tmr is the start of the week where i would have my 2 retreats
i am not prepared but i pray that God will speak to me still.
in the next few weeks, i hope to clear my room.
pack this messy to the max table.
and clear out my wardrobe.
so many ugly and useless things
i just wnna get away and rest. cant wait to go overseas.
tho there wont be much shopping :/
things i want for christmas
-postsecret book. haha.
-ipod nano. RED. but i feel this is kinda redundant. but i still want it.
-the sephora make up palette. but this one is like for fun. cuz i dont exactly wear make up. but it seems so worth it!
- A NICE BAG.
-new shoes. the last time i bought shoes was before school started.
this list is just for fun tho. doubt i can get anything. too busy to even think about christmas.
exams really just killed me. but thank God he pulled me through. but i felt i was being dragged.
haha. thankful for Desmond who studied with me all through the 1week or so. it was fun.
kinda weird cuz we dont exactly have any common friends and not exactly common interest. so if next sem i dont have same classes as him i will be a loner. HAHA. like seriously. oh wells. feel like taking up more things next sem. need to value-add my uni life.
alright. it's about time to get started with exercise again. but ever since exams ended yesterday (felt like last week. that's how tired i am) i keep craving for lots of food. paradise dynasty with mom and sister next week! okay. i could go on and on. but I HAVE NOT FINISHED PREPARING FOR PRAYER TMR and it's 1.30. i just feel like nuahing and not doing anything.
u know that feeling?
haha. okay. bye

1-3 A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek;
I want to drink God,
deep draughts of God.
I'm thirsty for God-alive.
I wonder, "Will I ever make it—
arrive and drink in God's presence?"
I'm on a diet of tears—
tears for breakfast, tears for supper.
All day long
people knock at my door,
Pestering,
"Where is this God of yours?"
4 These are the things I go over and over,
emptying out the pockets of my life.
I was always at the head of the worshiping crowd,
right out in front,
Leading them all,
eager to arrive and worship,
Shouting praises, singing thanksgiving—
celebrating, all of us, God's feast!
5 Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God—
soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face.
He's my God.
6-8 When my soul is in the dumps, I rehearse
everything I know of you,
From Jordan depths to Hermon heights,
including Mount Mizar.
Chaos calls to chaos,
to the tune of whitewater rapids.
Your breaking surf, your thundering breakers
crash and crush me.
Then God promises to love me all day,
sing songs all through the night!
My life is God's prayer.
9-10 Sometimes I ask God, my rock-solid God,
"Why did you let me down?
Why am I walking around in tears,
harassed by enemies?"
They're out for the kill, these
tormentors with their obscenities,
Taunting day after day,
"Where is this God of yours?"
11 Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God—
soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face.
He's my God.
Psalm 42 -The Message
A story is told about a family that went on a picnic by a lake. At one point, their 5-year-old son waded into the lake, stepped into deep water, and sank out of sight. None of the adults in the family knew how to swim, so they ran up and down the shore in panic while the child bobbed up and down and screamed for help. Just then, a man happened by who sized up the situation, leaped into the lake, and rescued the boy. He climbed out on the bank with the child, who was frightened but unharmed, only to hear the mother ask with irritation, “Where’s Johnny’s cap?”
So often we focus on small disappointments that cause us to grumble and complain rather than focusing on the wonderful things God has brought into our lives, not the least of which is His everlasting love and eternal salvation. When we complain about the small dissatisfactions of life, we’re asking, in effect, “Where’s Johnny’s cap?”
Paul wrote, “In everything give thanks” (1 Thess. 5:18). We may not be thankful for everything that comes our way, but we can give thanks in everything. It may be difficult to be grateful when we lose our job or our health fails, but we can be thankful for the good that God has brought to us in this life and grateful for the life to come.
As endless as God’s blessings are,
So should my praises be
For all His daily goodnesses
That flow unceasingly! —Adams
Instead of being preoccupied with our problems,
let’s praise the Lord for His blessings.
-OUR DAILY BREAD
