Holidays? Not much. ________________________________________________________________
Haiyo, it's the bloody holidays but why do i still have so many things to do?!

Many many interviews and stories to write up this week. Pretty much packed up my week.

Met up with an old friend i havent seen in 2 yrs today! It's nice when you haven't seen a friend in eons and then still be able to enjoy a nice night out together without any awkwardness. :) In fact, the outing was pretty enjoyable. Coffee spread to dinner and dinner to dessert.

Posted some pictures from a couple of weeks back. A day when dearie and i went sentosa, enjoy!

Worried. ________________________________________________________________
I am starting to worry. About school, about grades, about my freaking FYP.

We haven't done anything, and i mean anything. All we did was discussion, no seeking out of people yet, no interviews, nothing. And my group mates being away in nepal for a precious holiday week just doesn't make things any better. Anyway, i am going to start next week so we can have some form of contacts before they come back. Urghhh.

So unsettling.

Had a spontaneous night at Jalan Kayu with boon. Been a long time since we had the luxury of sitting down and just catching up on each others' lives. Took a nice long cool walk home from the prata place. Enjoyed it :)

BUT

I am still worried about my fyp.

too many things!

The countdown. ________________________________________________________________
Time Check. 2.23am, 20th Sept.

Goodness. My sis is officially getting married in less than a month's time.

Weird mix of emotions. Very very weird.

Happiness because having a wedding in the family is a big grand thing, extremely festive. Sadness because soon, i won't have someone to fight for the toilet with, squabble about whose turn is it to wash the dishes with and most importantly, someone next room to talk to when i need a listening ear.

For my whole life you've been there, and now i have to cope with being alone.

It's natural that you start to take people for granted when they're there for you everyday of your lives. Think your parents, and now, my sister.

Gosh. I hope i don't cry at the wedding.

Anyway, the pictures we took are out! The nicer ones i didnt post because the file sizes were too huge! So these are some i have with me.

Please try and ignore my prominent belly and just focus on my sister's gorgeous face. For monce, i will graciously let her take centre stage because 1) it's her big day 2) she looks really pretty in the photos!

So, enjoy the pictures and join in the festivity!

And finally, one weird picture. I don't like it because of my obvious tummy, forgetting to take off my watch and my boob-lessness compared to sis. But, i think we look genuinely happy!

Back to the Future. ________________________________________________________________
Yawn yawn. I am home alone on a sunday evening.

Grandma's staying with us for the week but still i am at home alone. Mom brought her out, and sis' out busy getting stuff for her new home. Everyone's engaged in some form of festivity thanks to the wedding. But i am stuck at home reading media law.

Midterm tomorrow. Media law.

Being a lawyer would mean reading alot of small little black words on crisp white sheets. I bet not a single lawyer doesnt wear glasses.

Lack of sleep lately. Eyebags.

Lack of motivation for exercises lately. Wobbly belly.

Think i am at a point whereby i am so sick of dieting. Ok, i ain't exactly dieting because i have reached my ideal weight but i am trying HARD to maintain.

At an all time exercising morale low. And, at an old time eating high.

Food Food Food. I love waking up in the morning because i get to eat. I love dinner time cause i get to eat. I love living because i can eat! Haiyo.

I bet you, with those crazily smart scientists this world is breeding, the next generation wouldn't have a problem with getting fat. They probably get a compulsory jab in pri six ( like our bcg) and then they dont ever grow fat, no matter how much they eat.

Probable conversation between 2 bimbos of year 2100.

Bimbo 1: You know, people get fat last time when they eat!

Bimbo 2: Are you trying to sound smart? What's meaning of fat? I've never heard it.

Bimbo 1: Fat's like not being perfectly skinny like us! Like they have wobbly bits i think?

Bimbo 2: Are you sure??? How can people ever get fat? It's just so hard!

Bimbo 1: I don't know, i heard that the people had to run and jog and swim to prevent themselves from getting fat!

Bimbo 2: Oh man. That's just so sad. I pity them. Running's like so last season.

Bimbo 1: Yea i agree. thankfully we got our jab when when we were 12. Can u imagine running around sweating????

Bimbo 1 and 2 together: -ewwwl- Yucks.

That's my little tidbit of the future. haha.

Balancing Act. ________________________________________________________________
Time Time Time. It's just not enough.

So many things on my hands. I didn't realise till i actually wrote them down one by one on paper. The scary thing is, alot of it doesn't involve school.

Afraid i ain't getting my priorities right. Am i? But oppurtunities really don't just come knocking on your door everyday.

I choose to believe i am one of those people who can accomplish everything they want and still come out glorious.

Darn. Who am i trying to kid.

But then again,

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Guide me lord. Gimme strength, energy, light!

* my eyes hurt.

To dearie, with love. ________________________________________________________________
* may cause goosebumps, those faint hearted ones are encouraged to skip this post.

It's been 9 month dearie!

Guessed both of us are surprised at how far along we've come. 9 months on the 9th of September. That's really something, hurhur.

I don't know how those couples can stay together for 10 years and i dont know how others can even stay married forever. But at 9months, i am feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. It's a long way for us :)

The early months were rocky. I was an emotional rollarcoaster, not knowing what i want and who i wanted it with. But you held on and stayed faithful by my side.

Now, 9months on, i really don't have much to say.

Other than:

I find myself more in love with you everyday.

Bad times will still come, i will still be the irritating me, i will still have unreasonable demands, i will still give you the cold shoulder, i will still insists that u wear lenses, i will still sulk when you don't msg me, i will still be pms-sy every month end. BUT. you should know me well enough by now, to know that there's always a rainbow behind everyone of my dark clouds.

So, let's pray for many more happy months to come!

Happy 9th month anniversary. I did a little photo recap, to thank you for all the wonderful memories you've given me.

Luv,
your hon*y p*e

Escaped the jagged jaws, stung by a ray. ________________________________________________________________

If you were on msn yesterday, you probably saw a whole bunch of nicks headed by some cute turtle emoticons. I thought it was some new emoticon msn came up with and somehow everyone went crazy and thought that it was really cool so they all decided to put it right next to their cool nicks.

But then i was thinking, the cute emoticon didn't exactly fit some of my less cute-sy friends' nicks.

Eg.:

nick 1: zh - Killer. - cute turtle icon -
nick 2: I really love food!!! - cute turtle icon-
nick 3: sprained my ankle - cute turtle icon -

Yep. So while nick 1 implied that he wanted to kill the turtle, nick 2 implied that she wanted to eat the turtle and of course nick 3 blamed his sprained ankle on the turtle. I thought he probably sprained his ankle when he accidentally kicked a turtle.

Then i was enlightened.

It was in memory of mr crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin. For those of you who haven't heard (i think you went to pluto or something, though pluto is no longer a planet, but then you probably didn't hear abt that too cause you were too busy eating a mars bar), mr crocodile was killed yesterday by a stingray.

Yes, sad but true.

Though i've never ever been really into crocodiles, i always thought your passion for them was inspiring and well, funny. I'm sure god will make you head of his crocodile farm in heaven.

On a more serious note: My deepest condolence to SI's family.

----

I officially eat supper EVERY night.

Due to my weird sleeping hours. I tend to eat a small snack between 2-3am every morning. Sometimes i am really a little hungry but most of the time, i am just craving for a bite. So, i satisfy myself with some lemon biscuits or bread or orange or sara lee before i spend the next half an hour doing hula hoop. How ironic.

Anyways, it's hula time. Yawn yawn.

Oh yah, a webcam is so fun! haha. I've never showed so many people my room! haha.

27th August - The Big Plunge. ________________________________________________________________
And so, finally got my baptism pictures posted!

It was a big day for me. The third time i tried getting myself baptised. The first time round, my parents objected because i was only 17, the second time round, my grandma passed away on the weekend i was to be baptised. This time round, everything went PERFECT! Looking back now, it was perhaps God's plan. If i got baptised at 17, i'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't understand and support my decision. Now, they even came down to support me on my big day! Double happiness.

I was alittle nervous during praise and worship before the baptism began. It was a big step of faith and a declaration too. No turning back now, it's a covenant with God, you just can't break it. It felt like a big step, especially for someone like me who doesn't really like making big decisions. But when we started praying, his peace came upon me and i knew it was the right thing to do. An act of obedience i should have done long ago.

No words can truely describe the experience. I was basically super high the entire day...and night. It was like running on turbo. Charged and fresh, anew.

Wonderful.

No regrets.

Thank you lord.

Now finally.....you get to check out the pictures!

Lyric of the month

Travis - Flowers in the Window

There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.

Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
