Christmas eve pics

i havent been feeling myself recently.
short-tempered and easily irritated.
annoyed by my closest ppl.
what is happening to me????!!!!

i don't mean to get annoyed so easily but i just can't seem to control. i have to constantly remind myself not flare up over little little things. I blame others for making mistakes but never thinking that it's my fault and always take ppl around me for granted like they have owed me. i really deserve a good scolding.

i'm gonna stay up the whole night

i think my heart has swooped place, to my right tummy.
i keep feeling my heartbeat there instead of feeling it on my left chest.
omg. it's quite scary.

earlier,
i was busy rushing my Jap e-learning assignments and i got stuck cos i cannot write jap words using my com. and so i have to think of a way to explain it to my teacher. i must be insane to go around telling ppl how fun jap is in the past. i was struggling like nobody's business, going like a... ni... wa... no... ha (or isit ba).. and i go on and on like an idiot who can't read. sometimes i really wonder how we actually pick up a language when we were so young and being able to read it so casually though not very fluently.

Christmas is over as well as the holidays. School is starting and so are assignments pouring in. I can't help but to think of all these. gosh. this rat race never ends.


JOYCE! i received your card! thanks so much. continue to stay in contact yea?

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!

this year's Christmas didn't disappoint me at all!
once you get the true meaning of it, everything just falls in place.
i got really am not the kind who can watch something that horrifies me! i'm too timid. Emily rose, i think i'm not the only one who can't take it la. right?
pictures will be up the next time when i get to blog at home.

another christmas party coming up. since it's a belated one, i shall take it as a good gathering for fellow kayakers (:
as it's gonna be a "bring your own food if not then stone alone" gathering, jelly, joce and i are making JELLIES! hahah. i'm sure you all will like it 'cause you will feel the warmth in each jelly. HAHA! and i just tried the jelly. omg! it's superb! those who get to eat it will definitely LOVE it!

many thanks to those who gave me presents too. especially the soap and everything that has effort placed into giving it to me. the soap has this fragrance that will make me float in the air. hahah.

tonight is overnight at joce's yay!


bye!

class outing, trainings and towning

there's so much to jot down now and it's really random so i shall do it slowly...

Jelly is back and we are on T2 after a month. gosh. it's so frustrating to row in a T2 although the feeling of MOVING is there unlike rowing in T1 which takes a century to finish. very ironical. had training again today and since Jelly wasn't fit to row so i went myself. aha! guess what, 12 rounds was like "WHAT!" it's a sunday! we thought it's going to be 8 rounds but Mr Patrick Fong wants us to go for 12 rounds which is far from 8, really. anyway there is no point complaining so we rowed. but fortunately for some of us, we were spared and only had 10 rounds. when they ask me to row back, you can really see the :D on my face! HAHA! it's an ULTRA BIG smile, i promise.
when i was keeping the T1, it slipped off my hand and dropped on my foot! and there is a bump. during the break, liling and i went on K2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! i was shaking so much like as if i'm vibrating. we managed to move out at least. but still, we capsized. and as EK saved us, i got cut by the wire and a big bump on my leg by the cock pit. never mind, pain is temporary (:

had towning with diana and cherie right after training today and i M.I.A-ed from 3.30 till 5 before meeting them. paiseh arh. so it was shopping in orchard, to somerset then we went all the way to Marina square and met the church guys there. when i reach home, i found my foot bleeding and my shoe is stained with blood ))):

anw, thanks for the ride home Ken (:

oh yes oh yes
i'm watching some taiwanese show on CHEERLEADING! mann, i miss it terribly especially this few days during the holidays ):

last friday we had our class outing in sentosa! gosh, the SUN was SCARY! we were hiding under the shelter most of the time until i'm forced to go into the sea. and i learnt not to be cocky anymore or else i will be THROWN into the sea again and again. while playing the games, i knock my foot on the rock and now there is a bump.


as stated above, i've dropped, hit, bumped, cut my foot. and it's all on the left foot.
but no point complaining 'cause nobody will really bother about your complains if you don't produce results anyway. only if you show results then will ppl bother to listen to your cries. it's cruel society.

after yesterday's training, i had christmas celebration with my relatives. it's been so long since we last met. it was a really great time of catching up about life and all. hope to meet up more often not only on festive seasons.

cherie bought this really cute mr sneeze jacket from Zara (italy) and we went to Zara (singapore) today.

C*: yay they nv sell my jacket here
(after walking around)
C*: oh no! they sell it here too. but never mind, mine is cheaper.
Me (thinking) : she is trying to console herself. HAHA!


time to end now. bye!

christmas shopping

cherie is back from italy! and the first thing she came back was to jio us out for christmas shopping. such enthusiasm la. we're supposed to shop tmr but i have class outing thus a last minute change to today. met her for some towning, and we managed to get some christmas gifts plus got really squashed in taka. it's really squeezy that you can hardly feel that you are moving sometimes. haha. anyway, it was only cherie and i who went shopping cos joce was with someone else. as we were waiting for the nike shirt that cherie is getting, we saw joce and ben. and she gave a really amusing reaction when she saw us.

Cherie: hello! *gesturing to joce*
mel: yang!
cherie: HELLO!
mel: she can't hear us!
*Ben turns ard and saw us*
joce: SHIT!

she left immediately after asking us why we were there. HAHAH!
hence, we went our own ways and continue our own shopping. I'm almost done with my shopping already but i realise that i can't attend the christmas celebration 'cause i have training on the eve of Christmas )):

oh wells. cherie cabbed home (as usual) and i MRT home.


WSC meeting tmr. Thus no sentosa in the morning but will be meeting the rest at a later time then it's boilboating :D

Land training at last

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!

sorry that we weren't able to attend your BBQ but nonetheless, hope that you will have better years ahead and that you have enjoyed your 17th day on earth!

Land training at last.
what else can i say other than SHIOK! the last time i land trained was 3 weeks ago which explains why i feel so good after perspiring. Sea training tmr!

Joanna! thank you so so so so much for the songs! i've been looking up and down for them and now i'm addicted to them! i cannot stop listening to them! hahah. so cute!!!!!
only youuuuu~
(the singing chipmunks are damn addictive)




Oooh... Oooh... Ohhh..
No matter what you say about love,
I keep coming back for more,
My head in the fire,
Sooner or later I get what i'm asking for
No matter what you say about life,
I learn every time I bleed.
The truth is a stranger
My soul is in danger,
I gotta let my spirit be free to,
Admit that I was wrong and then change my mind.
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind.

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Lived every second like it was my last one.
Don't look back got a new direction
Loved you once, needed protection.
You're still a part of everything I do, you're on my heart just like a tattoo,
Just like a tatto, I'll always have you.

I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking ties.
When I look in the mirror,
Didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind.
[ Tatoo lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Sorry but I gotta be strong and leave you behind

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Lived every second like it was my last one.
Don't look back got a new direction
Loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do, you're on my heart just like a tattoo, I'll always have you.

If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
Still a part of me and you.
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do.

I can't waste time so give me the moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Lived every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction
Loved you once, needed protection.
You're still a part of everything I do, you're on my heart just like a tattoo.
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you.

(Repeat chorus)












alright, gotta rest soon. bye!

SATAN's EVIL plan!

SATAN'S MEETING:

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,

'We can't keep Christians from going to church.'
'We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth.'
'We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour.'
'Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.'

'So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ..'
'This is what I want you to do,' said the devil:

'Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!'

'How shall we do this?' his demons shouted.

'Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,' he answered.
'Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.'

'Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles.'

'Keep them from spending time with their children.'

'As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!'

'Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice.'

'Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive.' To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly.'

'This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.'

'Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers.'

'Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.'

'Invade their driving moments with billboards.'

'Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes..'

'Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. '

'Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night.'

'Give them headaches too!'

'If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere.'
'That will fragment their families quickly!'
'Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas.'

'Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death.'

'Even in their recreation, let them be excessive.'
'Have them return from their recreation exhausted.'

'Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead.'
'Keep them busy, busy, busy!'

'And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences.'

'Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus.'

'Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause.'

'It will work!'

'It will work!'

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does 'BUSY' mean:
B-eing
U-nder

S-atan's
Y-oke?

pretty sunday

at last i had training yesterday. it didn't go as well as what i've expected. Right from the run i was panting like mad and it was damn HIGH rowing in the yellow T1; it gives you the thrill of capsizing every moment. It was 11 big rounds and i'm sure it will increase gradually. 3 weeks of no training and now i have to go round and round all alone. trust me, it doesn't feel good. i can literally feel my eyes shutting while i row. I may have the mental power but definitely not the physical energy to finish it well. i don't even feel that i'm aching on my trunks instead it's my shoulders and biceps which says how terribly i actually rowed. oh wells, it just proves that i have to work even harder. for the great enthusiasm i had the night before, i shall not blame myself further for not putting in much effort this time.



as for today i managed to jump out of bed for service! after service, i just went straight home.
and i was really hoping that they will receive my call but that stupid phone is always busy. argh..
maybe God just don't want me to have it.




oh yes! HUAT ARH! i'm going to slaughter you when i see you! i'm going to skin you alive and feed to the DOGS!!!! this is the result for elfing me. WAHAHAHA!







it's just a boring rest of the sunday until the star awards later.
if i don't find myself a job soon, i'm going to complain again.

anyways,
after the movie, it's just window shopping around orchard and dinner at newton circle.
though not very fruitful, it was still a really great day of chit chatting, talking nonsense, screaming like nobody's business in the car and of course to laugh till you can hardly even BREATH!
it's after 1 and a 1/2 sem later that our WHOLE clique finally went out tgt!
other than tt time when we watched simpsons which daryl didn't go.

just another monday

i've had enough of Fs for sem 2 already.
it's really not the melissa who used to aim for As and Bs.
i've been getting Fs.
and i'm tired of it.

so,

i should,
STUDY; PRACTISE; MUG; THRASH THE PAPERS!! (like what joce said)

nobody likes to repeat modules unless, that lecturer is really charming
anyways, i don't think that i have such charming ones for this sem so i DONT WANT TO REPEAT!!!!!!!

POLITE is over, YC'07 has successfully come to an end last night.
so, there is really no excuse to laze!
I MUST STUDY HARD, HARD, HARD!!




okay, i MUST be as motivated as how motivated i was for POLITE.
I CAN DO IT!!



side track (1):
Yc'07 was indeed enjoyable. Especially during the worships and SPECIAL NIGHT. the skit is impressive and entertaining. You must be there to experience it.
worship was really good for we have a really great team of leaders and musicians and of course, i'm very proud to be able to praise the LORD!
the shirt is nice too! thanks to cherie who designed it.
last but not least, i really want to thank everyone be it the committee or the campers, they are the ones who made this camp really successful! PRAISE THE LORD!


side track (2):
luckily i ran only 10Km for standard chartered. if i had been to the 42.195Km, i wouldn't be able to walk today.
good job to those who went for the 42.195 km :D



on track:
i'm in ELP to spend a good time to blog and to wait for EMAB (((((:
although i don't really like my tutor/lecturer,
i still like EMAB (((:
'cos it's math!


if only there is a diploma in "only maths" and i had more hair (so that i can pull when i'm too stressed).
oh wells, no point hoping for more. Just "BY FAITH" (haha) and hardwork, i'm sure i can do well in my course too! 'cause i still LOVE CPT!
