Surprise!

Finally i'm done with the card for ze birthday girl!

*huge grin*

I'm satisfied with it.

Hope YOU like it :D

Awesome possome!

Here are some of the pics i took at the MV Explorer.

Well how i ended up there is quite a story.

Few weeks back i received an invitation email from NUS to visit the ship.

Somehow, i was quite keen on going.

But i tried to sign up but some error came up and i got abit frustrated and thought of suan le ba since the deadline is that day.

After trying to submit the form 4 or 5 times i gave up la and wrote an email to the person in charged to ask about it.

I didn't expect the person to reply but someone actually replied!

It's a sign for me to go!

SO i submitted my details through email and tadaaa! i'm there today!

At first, i was quite lazy, contemplating to go or not.

But c'mon la, it's your free day and how often do you get this experience? Not like the ship comes here every week.

So yea, i went haha.

The brochure Debbie (the coordinator) gave us.

Very interesting stuff inside.

I can 望酶止渴.

But the the semester cost a bomb.

23,000 USD per semester.

I can buy a CAR.

Even debbie was very frank and told us it's very expensive.

I can see why it's so expensive.

Nice cosy rooms with your own bathroom (sharing with another person though).

Stewards to clean your room everyday, help you change your towel.

This is more like a hotel!

You have sauna,

beauty salon,

jacuzzi..

and i think i heard manicure, pedicure??

That's eric, our tourguide, together with hannah.

All the students went out to singapore to look around but they have to stay to bring us around.

And the ship is only staying in Singapore for a day.

So i guess they won't get to see Singapore much.

The pool.

A very small pool.

Overlooking sentosa.

The top deck.

Hannah was telling us there was one night the captain switched off all the lights on the deck for a star gazing session.

Ahhh, niceee.

The library.

The lounge.

They have quite a number of lounges where students hang around between classes or to study.

Spot the grand piano.

Dining room?

Don't let this picture deceive you, the dining room is actually veryy nice.

No picture haha.

Another lounge i guess?

I'm glad i went la.

It's more like getting the experience.

haha.

So cool!! (let me jakun abit)

this is for you

Someone is getting jealous, hence this post :D

To my 9 years church bestie:

DIANA ONG YU-MEI

(who always ignore my text msg when i start to get lame. yea, that's YOU. haha.)

I was looking for pictures of the both of us.

But i can't find any D:

The best i can get (and it's from fb) is this.

Sad ah.

And this is like, 2 or 3 years ago!

We need more picturessssssssss.

I changed my specs, i don't wear that shirt anymore, i have longer hair now.

That pic is so long ago.

When our dear lucy is still here.

I still remember, it's her farewell :p

From vbs helpers in form 1, sleeping in the conference room, talking about MM ( do you still remember? haha!)

Until now, counting down the days before you leave for UK.

Sigh. 1 less friend in malaysia land.

And i guess you'll be staying there for good.

Setting up your B&B :D

I'll see you in the nursing home, chasing you around with the walking stick.

hehe!

you wouldn't know

you know, i always enjoyed having dinner with you.

Though it's only once a week.

But i always look forward to it :D

laughing over nonsense,

complaining over similar problems (cacated notes, terrible naps.. .. k not really complaining la) haha.

I think i'll miss your presence when you go for exchange.

:(

have to pick up the momentum.

work through me.

:3

p.s flower from the ok-quite-thoughtful guys from my course during v day. haha. very nice of them to give flowers to all the girls. So if you do the math, one guy needs to contribute around 15 flowers. (cuz there's only 3 guys! hah. )

Praise God man!

:)

Stats results didn't turn out too bad!

I'm already expecting for the worse, preparing it to be below average.

BUT it didn't! it's within the average, though i think half the people will be full marks for it.

Yups so all my sorrow for my mistakes was unnecessary. hehe.

Moral of the lesson: there's always h.o.p.e. AND STILL, READ THE WHOLE QUESTION BEFORE ANSWERING!

Anyways, enjoyed the sermon last sunday, very insightful of God's love towards each and everyone of us, scripture taken from Hebrews 10:1-18.

A few points to share:

1. God send His only child to die for each and everyone of us only because He treats us equally precious, or even more precious than Jesus.

This is something new to me cuz i never thought of it this way, like having the same 'precious-ness' as Jesus.

2. Being in a performance basis society, we always strive to perform to gain approval. However, this is not true in God's eyes. He doesn't need our performance because He IS proud of each of us cuz of who we are.

Yups, this thought came in timely cuz lately i feel quite dissapoint with myself for not being able to share like how others can during cell group or devotion. Feeling very frustrated for not being as eloquent as others. This is like trying to perform well to satisfy myself. I realised that why do i worry about all these. If i can't say well, so be it, don't have to be pressured by others when sharing time is the time to listen, share honestly and not about faking up a good speech.

Well, there are still some others but i'll stop here cuz i can't really remember the others. These are the 2 that left the most impression on me. hehe.

Sermon was great, though at one point i dozed off for that one second but it has been quite awhile since the last time i actually enjoyed a sermon. Overwhelmed. and teared abit too. hoho. Something that probably won't happen back in my home church. lol.

It's getting late, i need to get back my momentum in studiesssssssss.

... ... ...

So, i guess it's time for some updates.

Been feeling quite stressed up, seriouslyidunnowhy.

Cuz it's mid term week? But i doubt so cuz i couldn't recall having such situation last semester. Maybe no up til THIS extent.

Symptoms:

Pressure in my head.

This gets worse when i strain my brain.

It's like the more i try to figure out something, the more the pressure comes.

It's like a clogged pipe, the more water trying to flow thru the more it clogs up. until it explodes. BOOM! *water shooting up*

Teeth tightly clamped. (k i know this is weird!!)

I think i do this unconsciously. due to pressure again??

Sometimes i'll find myself biting hard against my teeth.

Then i'll do the :O :| :\ :/ :O :p :[ mouth exercise to loosen up the muscle around.

Waking up at 4 plus.

By my bladder. lol. I tried this before so it's nothing new.

So i'm hoping my quality sleep can come back!

So annoying. Tried to sleep back but can't really. toss turn toss turn until oh it's 6am time to wake up.

Today is the first time i woke up by my alarm since dunno how long. although it's 4.30am but cuz i slept early so i decide to wake up early to finish my help sheet (some call it cheat sheet) for my test today.

Talking about my test today.

*hides in the corner* ashamed by my careless mistake.

I'd rather i not spot it.

Since spotting it won't make any difference since it was after the lecturer announced time is up.

It only makes me feel more helpless, thinking whether to change or not to. If change, then how? While still thinking furiously... the paper was collected. sigh.

It's just a small mistakes la but this test was actually quite easy and easy test can be a bad thing here. Small mistakes can cost alot.

K enough of ramblings. What's over is OVER. Get OVER it man!

Note to self: read the WHOLE sentence next time, not half of it :/

Anyways, i'm feeling ok now. not bad :)

Cooked instant porridge (so salty), had canned gui ling gao ( kla got satisfy my taste buds abit) while fb-ing, checking out kinkybluefairy. yes, i think i'm addicted to her blog .__.

Pray for me la if you can.

I'll try to take things easy. No worries i won't go crazy.
