hello!
Second day of school. Sigh...boring! Can't wait for holidays again...haha... Anyway, for the rest of the term, I'll probably be under pure torture...Still got to finish up leftover holiday homework...then there's projects which are choking me terribly, and of course, tests that drop before me just when I start getting used to school again...sigh...
However, I'm going into this battlefield differently this time. After all that moaning, it's time for me to prepare for the real battle. I must overcome all these overloading obstacles and then focus on the spiritual battle, that's even more lethal and threatening than the above. If the devil wants me to be miserable, I shall purposely get joy from God and put a huge smile on my face. If he tries to tear me down, I'll get strength from the Lord and stand up strong before him. If he breaks my heart, I'll find comfort from God and my friends and continue to fight against him. If he tries to attack me, I'll put on the armour of God and shield myself from all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Sounds hard...but nothing is impossible with God :) Luke 1:37
Dear God,
Help me to survive through this term and come out even stronger because of you. Be with me every single step of the way and let me show the world who I really am: your child.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen

*.* I'm 16!!!! *.*
I am officially 16! hahaha...
I want to thank the really really nice people who made this birthday very sweet :)
First of all, my choir juniors tried to secretly buy me a present when we were in Malaysia, but their acting...wasn't very professional lah...haha...so I found out. But thank you Xin Yi, Gloria, Jacqueline and Ying Ting :)
On Sunday, I was feeling better (still got a lot of phlegm though) and then the party took place :P Who came... Steph, Joce, Joan, Nicky, Tim Han, Tim Soh, June, Mark, Joel, Andy (jie fu to-be..haha). Of course my parents and Cheri and Cheryl were there. Chermaine came back later. Yup...so it was a nice bunch of people. We had great food cooked by my family members :P haha... you'll only know if you were here. heehee...And we had games! We played the messy one first: Water bomb Monkey. I think everyone got wet...haha...hmm...but the older people (YAG) didn't want to play...I wonder why...haha... The game was a lot of fun anyway...
Later on...after getting dry, I was ushered to my room secretly by Cheryl to get the present from her, Andy and Joel. Yes, I already guessed what they were going to give me: feminine clothes. Sigh... but anyway I went to bathe first, quickly dried my hair (couldn't be that quick lah..my hair so long...) then I put on the blouse and skirt, let down my hair and blah blah blah... then Cheryl insisted on escorting me back to the place where everyone was gathered and made this funny "official announcement" of my arrival...haha. But that was a bad idea! Amidst some gasps, and some clapping, some people took out cameras. AH! And quite impossible to run away lah...but after the super embarassing moment, we went on to play Taboo...guys vs girls. Guess who won? Of course the girls lah! hahahahahaha... I think they had 20 and we had 37 so it was pretty cool :) Oh ya...in between all the games and all were of course the food...eat non-stop I think...haha. Anyway, for the final game, we hit the pinata-which contained loads of sweets- blindfolded, and tried to knock all the sweets out. After many failed attempts, Mark just helped us whack the outside repeatedly with no blindfold. I think he was quite violent lah...so eventually all the layers of paper ripped and sweets came flying out...haha.. quite a sweet affair. While they were picking the sweets though, I had to go in to prepare the cake. Ah! It was so cute! heehee...I purposely chose the kiddy sort this yr. Water (blue cream) with sea creatures (icing sugar) on top. Then they sang the birthday song in English and I asked them to sing in Chinese too (only some of them could lah..haha) and we ate the cake lor :)
Oh ya, at the start of the party, I made all of them wear party hats for a while and take photo. Then they gave me presents. Joan and June gave me a book each, Mark and Nicky purposely gave me this card meant for the 50th birthday, and this transformer toy (meant for guys)...lame! The rest shared a concordence(I think very ex..) and a blouse (feminine stuff, again...) I really liked all. Thank you :) After the party, Joel, Andy and June stayed behind (they're older)...and we had balloon fights plus we played very silly games till about 9+...I really enjoyed the day :)
Ok, now for other birthday wishes...Yvonne on my tagboard....Ian also...For smses, at 11.50pm, Joel wished me again. At 12 am on June 13, Hongzhou, Jacqueline at 1.29am, Jocelyn at 3.11am, oh! And Mc Donalds at 9.01am!haha...Joan at 10.01am, Harry at 10.43am, steph at 1.23om (even though she was just beside me!), Yan Yin at 10.57pm, and Sophia at 12.09am on 15 June. haha...and some of the girls in the room during the retreat also sang me a birthday song. Joycely, Sylvianne, Dorea and Cheri. haha...very sweet...Oh! And Isaac volunteered to buy me a cake on my birthday and smash it into my face :) Why do you think I said no need ? :P
Well, I'll blog more about the retreat either tonight or tomorrow. Got school later :( See ya!

*.* 2days... *.*
ah! Saturday! 2 days to my birthday! haha...ok that's quite lame! haha... but in this gloomy and bleak life, it's nice to have something nice to look forward to :)
Tomorrow's my party! yay! Sofar,I think only Jonathan can't come...but that's quite sad still lah. Still, it should be fantastic, I hope. Except for one part which I'm not exceptionally looking forward to...sigh. I think Cheryl knows what that is. But that won't ruin my mood! haha...in fact, I've got something up my sleeve too :P as usual...
Hmm...on Monday, I won't be "celebrating" any birthday because I'll be at the worship committee retreat! haha... yay! so fun! And wait till it comes to the games...haha... because I'm one of the masterminds behind them:) butmore of tuesday's games lah: the spiritual andmore meaningful one. Monday's games will be senseless and plain fun...heehee...not to mention dirty!!!!!!!!! haha...whee! honestly, I feel the standard of games match up to our SSS camp ones. haha...hope they'll enjoy them:)
Me blogged @ | 5:24 AM
Hey! For those of you who still don't know, I'm back! haha... Anyway, I fell sick after coming back. Usual stuff lah..haha...tonsilitis, cough, flu...but the thing is, I was allergic to my medicine so my upper eyelids swelled quite terribly :( According to my mum, I looked like a frog. And also according to Chermaine, I looked worse than a frog :( Ok fine, I looked terrible! haha...
But I went back to change medicine, so the swelling's 98% gone, thankfully :) I'm on my way to recovery! yay!
Anyway, I want to thank Joel for taking me to the beach today. You're a very very very very nice person....hahaha...Anyway, the beach trip gave me a whole hour to think and er...finish memorising the last part of the Sermon on the Mount. I'll be ready on Sunday to be drilled by Teng Ngan :) And of course, I'm testing him too..hahaha...
hmm...I know a particular person is feeling very sad now, so cheer up! And ya...happy birthday :)

*.* I'm leaving *.*
Hello! I'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so I guess just want to say goodbye. I don't know why but I feel pretty paranoid about this trip...Don't exactly feel safe, and I think Steph, Joce and Joan might know why I'm a little apprehensive. Something to do with the last days of me being 15...
Honestly, I'm quite scared. Worried. But I guess it'll teach me A LOT about faith. I need to trust...and go in peace.
But just in case...argh! Talk about lack of faith...but anyway, thank you everyone. It is still my only wish that everyone I know will get to know the God who is my Father, Brother and Friend; I believe my brothers and sisters in Christ will continue sharing the love God gave us with others...And no matter what happens, I'll meet all of you in a beacutiful place :)
Please don't start smsing me or tagging and asking me if I'm ok...haha...I'm fine. Really. (Then again, no one ever believes me when I say I'm ok. Fine, you're right half the time...haha)
Well, I hope to see most of you on Sunday. Shucks! Andy and Joel...I know, I know...you're going to force me to look pretty on that day. ONE DAY ONLY! And never again :) And steph, joce and joan, please...no more feminine stuff! Ahh! Last year you already did so...no need anymore :p, please...
Anyway, talking about feminine stuff, Cheryl lent me her make up for the malaysia trip. (for performances only!) eek! She kept asking me, "do you want anymore?" and then she suggested things like glitter powder and lip gloss and stuff...aiyo...super feminine! She has this whole plastic bag full of make-up stuff...scary...
Well, I've packed...er...halfway :) Will continue later, I guess. Not much lah. Hopefully I don't forget anything. hmm...guess that's all I have to say. Have a great weekend :P God bless..
