My first day of school started spicy.

Thinking it would be too hot to walk to sch today, i've decided to get a ride. But amazingly, it was so cooling and breezy, such a wonderful weather, how can i not walk to school right? so i did.


this is my road to school. if you stare at it near, you can see UWA's bell tower.
hint: beside the second lampost.

off to school to geography building. halfway thru out the lecture, the thunder and lightning like blasted until the building blacked out, the siren rang, the clocked stuck 11 when it was 1030 a minute ago. the lecturer looked at us in like "what was that?" look.

then lecture continued on, with her words getting faster and faster. super funny. was suppose to pay sch fees today, but apparently, the admin system is down.

being a little up too early than usual, i forgot to bring my file and brolly to sch. so yeah, when the storm came, i was like shivering, uber cold and like just waiting for the perfect timing to do my 100m dash to the next block and the next block and finally to the bus stop.

droplets were pretty big and heavy like it would cause a blueblack when it hits the arm. after getting off the bus stop, was frantically calling my hommies, but i couldn't get them at all. So as i waited at the bus-stop, the rain got heavier, lightning seem to get bigger and nearer. i ended up standing on the seats and still got drenched by the oncoming traffic. it funny how people just keep driving at fast speed when it's raining madly. prayed for light rain & at the perfect timing, no cars on both sides, light rain, brave girl runs home for shelter.

now that i'm blogging, it shows i'm fine. heh. the storm has stopped, the sun is out. yay. it's time to play. it's gonna be a splendid exciting week ahead. ooohlala.

had our timor gatherin at uncle sam's humongous home by perception. To uncle sam it was a fairly small house, to us was like BIG la. And well, he said it was done by perception. we'll like ok, he perceive his house to be small. but in actual fact, the agent that did up the house was called perception. it is funny.

i super love his living room, it's so cosy yet in a classy glam way, like the ones in princess diaries. huge living room with vintage queen chairs, huge kitchen area, huge bar, huge gym, huge swimming pool. oooh, i love it. now, i regret not taking photos of the house. simply stunning!

okay, i was practically like stonning the whole day cause i couldn't sleeep and was out since 9am(perth) in the morning. oh man! while having dinner, my eyes were really heavy and couldn't keep it up.

Now that i've finally finish unpacking, it's all good. i think i'm falling sick. well, i will be all alive and kicking in a few good days time and i'll so adapt to the busy challenging units i'm taking this sem.

Every semester is a learning journey. And this time, besides all the challenging law & finance units. It's gonna be learning how to enjoy & appreciate doll & bai, my hommies.

today, i dropped by eunice & shirley's place.. and guess what caught my eye?

oooh. i can't be more than happy to see this. i love dopey! i wonder where she gotten the seven dwarfs. i love it. my house next time will have it. whahahaha.

this is Faith Community Church at willeton. It's a really cosy church which i love love love. It's a family-like church and like 20mins drive away from home. This is where i spend my sundays!

look at the clouds, it's looks so bouncy! it reminds me of super mario where you can jump from one cloud to another. uber cool. well, marcus explain to me some interesting facts about clouds. like how clouds that are higher up contains less water particles and alot of ice, hence planes that go thru it can't come out cuz it get frozen. And alot alot more stuff. yeah. it's good to have a pilot friend, it makes admiring God's wonders in a different light each time.

my thoughts about it: everything seem to have a good and bad part to it, some may only see the good part, others may see only the bad part, but some others may see both but choose to appreciate only the good part.

like how clouds may seem to be so nice and comfy, it actually is quite dangerous for a plane. But everytime i look up at it, instead of thinking of how bad it affects planes, i stand in awe at the clouds. Everyday, the sky is a different blue. It's a pictureque.

Somehow, being something that humans have no control over makes it perfect that it often comforts me and brings a smile to my face. Its beyond description, it's just so amazing, don't you think?

{.Your love is extravagant.}




i can't sleeeeep!

{.Your love is extravagant.}




it feels weirdly funny to be in a strangely familiar place.

At times, a little distasteful.

For the record, i suffered a little cultural shock at the petrol kiosk, seeing a sudden influx of change in colour skin. Anyhow, i'm sunburnt just from the ride airport-home.

alright, i miss lydia long, cheryl, jerline and euniceeee! Now that everyone has moved out to their own little spaces. It's so near yet so far.

so much for being home alone, all of a sudden, everything seems to become a little more to adapt. like how i forgot to moisturise myself after a bath, and how i forgot to drink more water to prevent dehydration. It's all the little things I once knew, but somehow i forgot.

The obviously silence during the night suddenly dawns upon me, it's perth, hello? yea, of cause it's quiet.

After the massive unpacking (of which there is still 4 boxes & a luggage left - i don't know where to put my stuff) and cleaning up of portland street, i declare to my tired self, it's time to rest!

my hommiez are not back yet, hopefully they manage to wake me up later or else they are locked out. heh. i'm tired. yawns.

goodnight world.

{.Your love is extravagant.}

you see that white yuan.de. on the right? yeah. that's the thing i broke with a loud clang. it's totally hilarious. somehow it didn't really seem to matter when everyone stared at clumsy me, cause i probably was in a world of my own. having so much fun! hahaha.

okay.. tha funny thing was that.. i was playing heart attack. haha. that's how the plate broke. anyhow, the plate cost us $59.90. don't know why what yuan.de. things keeps getting me so sway. please don't come up to me and say yuan.de.bu.nen.na. super sway.

Shalom Girls Day Out!

peilee & me

on the 3rd day of cny.. i think it should become a tradition that every year we have a potluck picnic yea?

thank God for the awesome weather that gave us the breeze when we needed it and the sun when we tried to tan. the caterpillars were a 'great' company. super gross.

Family Day Out

we had like 5 tickets all joined together. 2 tickets for protege and 3 tickets for just follow law, both at 3.40pm. it's my first time seeing tickets from different show join together la. goondu i know. it's the little things that amuses me. ha.

protege is quite enriching, louis koo looks like a dog in the film. the show is about drugs and its addicts. so why do people take drugs? it is because of the emptiness they feel inside. So is drugs worse of emptiness worse?

Something i learnt today..

F.A.I.T.H - Forsaking All, I Trust Him.

Faith is like a muscle that grows stronger through exercise.
And the exercise that builds a vibrant faith is the stress of facing daily trials with confidence in God.

i'm slowly getting it word by word & literally feeling the stress. But somehow, it isn't all that bad, cause it's everything good ahead. at the road less travelled, that is where the nicest shells can be found. =)


Something re-emphasized & magnified..

The truth is that if God did nothing else for us except sacrifice His Son so that we wouldn't have to go to hell, He would still be worthy of our worship.

But the Lord doesn't stop there.

His Word tells us: "He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?" (Romans 8:32 AMP)

I challenge you today to believe that God wants to bless you even more than you want to be blessed, and to begin worshiping Him in advance for all of the good things He has in store for you!

how true it is. how marvellous He is! isn't it all way cool, all that is needed is for you to believe. simply does it.

my handytrax turntable.

my mama! i found it! i found it! it cost $200. Not too bad for vintage style stereos right? haha. now now, i can play my vinyl records of nat king cole and elvis presley.

alright, before i start daydreaming.. i have to convince mum! heh. wanting thinks i'm crazy to be like actually buying decor stuff for my new house which apparently isn't ready yet. ermmmm... if you ask me, i prefer buying interior decor then to clothes hands down! wooooot!

p.s. i've bought new three-tier tableware for tea & a candlelight set for ambience setting, uber cool salt & pepper condiment set & other nice stuff. heh.

To the new house! *big wide grin*

but God has invited you to the most amazing feast ever.

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper

happy love love day everyone! spread the love.

{.Your love is extravagant.}




yay yay yay!

i got all the timor photos.

finally. YAY!!!!

daddy's birthday today, get to eat yummmmmy cookies and creme ice cream cake! yay!

one sucky thing happen today, i bought durian puff from savoury fare & it was sour. super gross. anyways, it sucks when u need a cab but can't get one, especially when there is no proper reasoning why i can't get one. unhired cabs don't wanna stop, hired cabs obviously don't stop, and when cabs do stop, they don't wanna drive you where you wanna go. raaaah. especially on a hot day like this, when my cake & i are melting terribly. it sucks.

tell self: never take cab from 430pm to 5pm cause taxi uncles all changing shifts.

but wadeva it is, today rocks la. haha. one reason being, just because He made it, and i had a great walk with Him. i love walks/runs especially when i know He is there beside me & when i have alot alot of things to tell Him. Jesus rocks my socks, as always.

the first reunion dinner of the yearrr.

glorious foood!




well, quite narcissistic la, but not from my camera. anyways, pearl river restaurant at suntec is a fabulous place for reunion, we had the a la carte buffet. just imagine salmon sashimi 5 plates, prawns cooked in different sauces and different ways, scallops unlimited. whoa ho! it's like yummy till u start drolling your plate full. yeah. and massive array of dessert. for the first time, i tried the buddha jump over the wall. i still don't understand why is it given such a name. anyone care to explain?

anyways right, it's yummy la, and it's like everyone on my mum's side was there enjoying the good food, and we're like so close to each other. that's one thing i really enjoy about reunion dinners and christmas dinners. is not that we only gather once a year during cny but it's just one of the refreshing good times without any squabbles where everyone just ENJOY.

cheeers to a brand new lunar new year, everybody! yum seng people!

{.Your love is extravagant.}






had cell retreat at coasta sands during the weekend. despite not having everyone there, we had lotsa fun playing snorta and munchkins. Such memorable times really brighten up the moments of life where everyone just come together and be yourself but yet feel so comfortable with each other, sharing our lives and doing things together - which includes making stupid sounds. squeak-a-dee! oinks-snort-oinks. troooo-oooh. woof. meow. orh-ee-yore. eh-eh-ehh goes the rooster. maaaa-maaa.

if only everyone came and did their part and just enjoyed the celebration of life together, that would be so awesome, indeed. but i guess people do have other stuff to do too.

yea. the pictures taken above was when i drove the guys over to pasir ris park to play by the beach. This was then i realize that the skies in Singapore is as photoshopped as perth's. haha. photoshopped meaning up to perfection/flawless. it's the wonderous beauty, i'm so captivated by it. just as we were soaking up the sun, a few guys on jet ski went by... oh man! i sooo wanna be on that lean-mean machine.

oh anyways, we had our old-school ice cream from the ring-a-bell uncle on scooter thingy, and we played on the massive extended spider web, that sameul kept jumping on it.. rahh. haha. it was fun. and i love love driving that car which gives you the G-force thrill. hahaha.

{.Your love is extravagant.}

bears to the glamourous ball, with playboy at its feet and love is all around cause it makes the world go round. yay. haha. lil sista & i baked a couple of stuff last week & cookies were just one of those. for today, it's probably gonna be brownies. yay!

i learnt something new today..

that being in a relationship is to love selflessly, which is the unconditional love that God has demostrated by sending His one and only begotten son, Jesus to die on the cross for us, which means to say that only be in a relationship if you think you can offer something worthwhile to the other person.

in other words,

to love is to learn to give of yourself, and everything you are, to bring out the best in him.

straight from the heart,
yours truly.

{.Your love is extravagant.}




Pounced upon it from dalkeith cell. The full essence of waiting and truly, His ways are so amazing, so up and up and above our ways, His thoughts are far greater than ours. So great and mighty He is but yet He loves me, this unworthy soul. Can you believe it. He loves me. No matter where I am, it is an honour to be able to praise You in the storm. My help comes from You alone and salvation belongs to You. Victory is in You.

the utmost heartfelt words that melted my pinky heart this day. below is an excerpt from this book 'gift-wrapped by God'. i'm so gonna get the book. read on my dearest friends, may it encourage you to perserve on like it inspired me to, even more so if you wanna know the depths of His great love.



the most wonderful passage i've ever read that captures the true satisfaction of knowing God. so simple but yet often overlooked. i will perserve on, God please grant me the strength to keep going till the day i see Your face. But for this moment till then, may my eyes be turned to be filled in awe by your amazing artistry across the horizon and be filled with hope, love and joy to be dwelling in Your presence evermore. evermore.

{.Your love is extravagant.}

Don't need to wait for the sun to shine

Don't need to wait for the clouds to clear

Don't need to wait for the waves to still

Don't need to wait for the storms to calm

I'll still sing

I know that my God You're so good.

yay!

i misss yoooooooou , sweet selsel!

pain
pain
pain.
excruciating pain.

always read the warning!

In some people mefloquine can cause psychiatric side effects such as mood or behaviour changes, anxiety, depression, feelings of persecution, crying, aggression, forgetfulness, agitation, confusion or hallucinations. If affected you should stop taking this medicine and consult a doctor immediately. In 75 per cent of cases such side effects appear by the third dose if they are going to affect you. For this reason, if taking mefloquine to prevent malaria it is recommended you start taking it 3 weeks before travel, so that if affected you can be prescribed an alternative preventative medicine.
This medicine may cause various side effects that could impair your mental or physical ability to safely drive or operate machinary. You should be aware of how you react to this medicine before driving or operating machinary.
To prevent malaria it is important that you take this medicine regularly and try not to forget a dose. You should still take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitos, such as using mosquito repellants and sleeping under mosquito nets. This is particularly important if you have vomiting or diarrhoea. If you fall ill within one year of your return, and especially if within three months of your return, you should consult your doctor immediately and let him know that you have visited a country where malaria is endemic.
To prevent malaria this medicine should be taken once weekly, on the same day each week, as directed by your doctor. It should be started at least one week, but preferably two to three weeks before travelling to the malarious area (see above). It should be taken regularly thoughout the stay and continued for four weeks after leaving the malarious area.
This medicine is not recommended for children aged under three months or weighing less than five kilograms.
Women of child-bearing age who are taking this medicine for malaria prevention or treatment are advised to use effective contraception to prevent pregnancy, both during treatment and for three months after stopping treatment. This is because the safety of the medicine during pregnancy has not been established. Seek further medical advice from your doctor.

but well.. the warning doesn't say burps or gastric or breathing difficulties or chest pains... aaahh. what is happening to meeee?

{.Your love is extravagant.}

hungry for fresh seafoood?
how about trying your hands at getting it yourself at the fishing village.

haha. not trying to promote it la, not that the food all that great either, nor the service efficient. but hey hey, just check this out, the view of it so so awesome. i love it, it reminds me of bali. it rocks totally la.

ok, if ya wondering where it is, well, it's somewhere in sembawang, bottle tree park nearby. yepps. the most memorable moment for me was the rocking bench where my bro, myself and sista sat on it and it collapse. it's hilarious.

no, it's not a one-seater bench. it's those long wooden planks with metal legs and handles supporting it. can u believe it.

kosketa minua

{.Your love is extravagant.}




long are the sleepless nights. i am so tired. i'm irritated, so irritated. ugh. is not that i'm not tired, but i am and i can't sleep cause i keep burping until it ends then i get to sleep. I tried avoiding everything i have to avoid taking, and obviously the medicine is not working. it suks when i'm hungry but i can't eat anything that is laid on the dinner table. my gullet is hurting alot alot. i'm afraid it won't hold out any much longer. but i still have two more weeks of malaria pills to be taken. arghhhh. i'm defintely not regretting about going forth on the trip, that's out of the question. it's just that i'm feeling so uncomfy, i wanna sleep, i wanna eat. And it's not like i don't wanna shaddup, i wanna stop burping, but its uncontrollable. alright, alright, i shall stop eating everything and have nothing to eat. having gastric is much better anyways. what happens in a human body is so uncomprehensible like why in the world did my diaphragm shrink.. aaah, wadeva. i got no more energy to fight with u, the burp.
