plastic heart with emotions

And i want to ditch A's and play in the rain.

Almost almost halfway done with A's. Not a single paper has gone well thus far and as much as i'm fearful, i'll keep telling myself to look forward. Just like the picture above 'I'm determined to love each day more than I'm afraid of it'

I'm waiting for the rain to stop so that i can hop over to vivo starbucks. Staying at home trying to do math is too much. I need my cup of ice toffee nut latte. The weighing scale says that i've lost 1kg since the last time i weighed myself, which is surprising because i feel so much fatter now than before. Maybe for this i can treat myself to blueberry muffin as my lunch. now that sounds like a good reward. (=

Ok, i shall do math while waiting for the rain to stop. Hang in there my dearest friends! The end is in sight!

As much as i'm really drained and burden by things (not just academics), what mr lee said during tuition today is true.

"There's no marginal benefits to worrying and panicking now. Doing all that only incurs marginal costs. Every second you spend worrying is a second lost to studying/resting and relaxing. I need you guys to rest well, take care of yourself and just stay focus during the paper"

"Be that superhero who can unleash your powers at the most crucial time to save the day"

So here you go my fellow warriors, whatever life throws at you, put up your bravest front and meet it face on. We can do this! <3

till the time i feel like talking and updating this thing again.
But for the upcoming A's, i need to shut up and study.

Jiayou my lovely friends!

Koped the title off choop's facebook album. hehe, hope you dont mind!

Last day of school today was actually pretty happy. ( I cant decide if this is a good or bad thing) but in any case farewell assembly was totally off what i thought would constitute a farewell assembly. Imagine going through rankings, extrapolation of expected A level grades, totally uninspiring speech, 'service with honour' when ziffy and i chanted in unison 'courtesy, generosity and sincerity', a video made up of last minute ndc 2009 shots which more often then not didnt include any SH2s, flooding of IP photos in the video (it's not that i have anything against IP because i have gotten to know pretty amazing people from there...but you get my point...), and a video which didnt make me feel touched at all. I dont mean to compare but i definitely miss crescent's definition of farewell assembly where you can feel the warmth from the teachers and that they're all behind you no matter what. Still remember the symbolic passing of light from teachers to students and slowly down the rows till everyone has a lighted candle of their own. It was not only a pretty sight but there was so much more meaning to it. And how the teachers sang for us, how each class contributed a video special to ourselves, all the cheering (from the bottom of our hearts), the tradition of give me a C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T cheer etc etc. I was looking at SA's farewell assembly and i got reminded of mrs lee's iconic famous amos cookies. Gosh, i do miss such a wonderful principal like her. No doubt she drives both the teachers and students mad with her mock exams etc, but at the very least she cares, and she's inspiring. Ok enough of comparison. The class made the day better!

Stayed in school today for the AEP exhibition and as usual im in total awe of the art pieces. I doubt i truly understand them, but one thing is for sure, that is the pride they have of their works and all the time that went into it. Wish i could put of photos but not now since the works are still under assessment etc. This time round, it was more special because i know 4 art students personally and i feel so proud of them when i see their works.

My mummy just read off the papers

一个人并不寂寞，想一个人才是寂寞。

Daddy says he cannot fully comprehand the phrase, i say that i understand yet i dont understand.

Haha.

Life sucks at this moment because i have gp mock tomorrow, phy geog consultation tomorrow and math tuition.
what sucks is that im totally unprepared for all 3 things. I wish i have 48 hours tonight. I am armed with a nescafe 'late' as jam would put it. Oh gosh...the week ahead is packed. )=

on a happier note, i am a proud owner of an itouch! (= Though it's passed down from my older brother, it's only 3 months old, and that im going to be sharing it with my younger brother. but it's better than nothing right!

I was sure by now
God, You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

-Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns

Posted this and again im posting it to remind myself that God knows and that i should have the faith in Him to say 'Bring on the storm' because i will not be afraid.

( Loves! )
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone

Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth and mom was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest. War was only a card game. And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up.

True to a certain extent no?

Be mindful what you toss away, be careful who you push away, and think hard before walking away.

amidst crazy mugging which im starting to slow down and pant along, i squeezed out time for my best friend and her belated birthday. the photos shall do the talking, more will be up on facebook after prelims. For now, these should suffice. (=

( you and i, we make one )

Gah, tell me how does one take such pretty polaroid pictures? )=

I love the soft tone and whimsical feel to it.

When i was immensely stress this afternoon, i took a shower, picked up my bible and tried to find some solace. It came. But i'm mighty touch by sheryl's reply when i msged her 'please tell me a verse to make me feel better and remind me that God is with me through this'

Here was her reply (It's from a song)
I raise my hand and praise the God who gives and takes away
And I'll praise you in this storm.
And i'll lift my hands for You are who You are.
No matter where I am,
and every tear i've cried, You hold in Your hand.
You never left my side and though my heart is torn,
I'll praise you in this storm...

My strength is almost gone,
how can i carry on if i can't find you.
And as the thunder rolls,
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"

Thank you God, my comfort and shelter in the storm, my green pasture.

(thank you sheryl)

and for those we need a smile/laugh:
Mr Tan sent me this sms: Remember, the paper is NOT HARD ok, quite soft one, can fold.

Lincoln Brewster/ Today Is The Day

I'm casting my cares aside
I'm leaving my past behind
I'm setting my heart and mind on You, Jesus

I'm reaching my hand to Yours
Believing there's so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good, is good

Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
And I won't worry about tomorrow
I'm trusting in what You say
Today is the day

I'm putting my fears aside
I'm leaving my doubts behind
I'm giving my hopes and dreams to You, Jesus

I'm reaching my hand to Yours
Believing there's so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good, is good

Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
And I won't worry about tomorrow
I'm trusting in what You say
Today is the day

I will stand upon You truth (I will stand upon Your truth)
And all my days I'll live for You (And all my days I'll live for You)

Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
And I won't worry about tomorrow
I'm giving You my fears and sorrows
Where You lead me I will follow
I'm trusting in what You say
Today is the day

I need  this amount of faith, everyday, ever second and not just for that moment.

Ok a quick one.

Pictures of what we gave our teachers. (= Not bad considering we only came up with the idea yesterday and had a few hours to put everything together today.




I'm very proud of my heart for miss ling! I spent 45mins on it last night when my eyes were closing. Didnt manage to squeeze in everything i want to say but the gist of it is written. The most important sentence 'I'm sorry that i havent been an easy student to teach and my results are not a reflection of all the work you've done for us'.


credits to yingying for designing and drawing!




drawing the girl with crossed eyes...




Miss Ting flashed her rare smile when we gave it to her in the library. The group of girls having consultation with her are lucky since she's in a good mood now. (=

Thank you laura for the letterings!



(now i think my phone camera is actually quite good! haha)

Amidst crazy mugging and an overload of information on my puny brain,
zx's present was a pleasant surprise, thank you!


when someone gives you a mug, it either means you're a mugger or you should work harder at being one. The latter would be my case.


as much as i dont drink green tea, it was a good attempt at coordinating everything to green cause it's 'good for the eyes'.


the best part was...I didnt even notice the note rolled up inside the bubble tea straw... now i'm even slower than mylene. \=

Anyway, thank you! (=

Pretty pretty pictures! (This is my motivation when i keep going on and on about wanting to take up photography after A's. Anyone wants to join me?)


what do you see? I didnt see it correctly till choops pointed it out to me. haha




I think that tattoo is super cool, but no. I'm not doing it on myself unless you count using a black pen to draw it.


Haha, i just have to add this in.

These photos are taken off everywhere which i really cant remember but if you do know the sources, leave a comment and i'll def credit

Photography! (But i think i'll suck at editting the photos)

didnt know till choops told me. haha

If you're already at the bottom, you can't go any lower than that. So it's your choice as to whether you want to go up, and in the process dont lose anything, or to stay at the bottom (and lose everything else)?


Keep going my dearest friends! (as much as i need this encouragement to myself)

Credits to edwin! But i took some shots while playing around with his DSLR.


pretty girls (=








wonderful wonderful 08a02!

My first school celebrations in NJ as an audience. The feeling is different and i'm just glad i have my class to spend it with me. (=

I am a complete failure,

because of all the words from all of you.

人生已经有太多风雨。。。别再为自己添上一片乌云。。。用一颗宽容的心去接受周围所有的不如意。。。已一张笑容带走不愉快。不要感到气馁，我们都身心疲惫，但一定要坚持下去。无论多难，多累，多不开心，相信主，向他祷告，他会带你经过一切。
