happy new year everyone! :) im watching e countdown prog on tv now. they showed e scenes in lamkwaifong, tsimshatsui, n tonglorwan, this truly is a crowded country! haha n i saw fireworkS! :) yes we've finally crossed over to 2006 whether you like it anot.. but i really encourage all of you to look back on 2005 n give thanks for all e good/bad you've gone thru, esp for e bad, give thanks cos indeed God has led you thru even e worst of e year! :) n thankew jingmin for giving me inspiration for this entry.
of course, give thanks for e a's.. look back on 2005 n imagine it as a long n winding road. what i see for 3/4 of e rocky paths is time spent studying for e a's, time spent crying/getting worried for e a's, sacrifices made for e a's, times when God's footprints become so clear cos of e a's, time spent cooped up all alone, cold n hungry in e library cos of e a's, time/money spent on tuition for e a's, time tt should've been spent on e a's but had gone to waste.. yes i acknowledge for majority of e j2's tt e a's has practically been our life.
ynoe indeed christmas is a time of giving, n reminiscing on e pain Jesus bore e min He was born.. even you n i were born in hospitals, w good docs/facilities. but imagine e King born in a manger! n now as we step into a new year, its time to think back n give thanks! for e grace/mercy God has shown, tt today, becos of e birth of JesusChrist, we can sit here n testify to His love! i guess theres a reason why christmas is just 5days before e end of e year..
i wanna thank God for my family! who've been so caring/understanding n giving me all e support/encouragement i've needed during e preparation for e a's!
i wanna thank God for crosslink comm members! now tt im gonna stepdown frm e comm, i think i really havent been showing enuff gratitude to my fellow comm members. you've no idea what a huge part of my life crosslink has been! say in a week, 5/6 of our time is spent in sch, e last 6th would be shared bet church n home! besides tt, im amazed at what God can do w e small lil 7 of us! encounter 1, 2, 3, FIRE!, music camp, crosslink leaders summit, church camp, all e progs we've done for church.. no not by might, nor by power, but by e spirit of God!
i wanna thank God for sd2 of course! i love you guys alot, you're e best class i've ever had! even as i look back n see how cliques have changed, such tt we all noe each other so much better than before. i regret not getting to noe some better, n i remain thankful for e frenships i've shared all, some closer than others, some i may have lost along e way, but it'll always be smthg close to me.. n im sorry for e times i havent been pleasant co, or i havent been a good testimony, but thankew guys for being patient w me anyway! :)
thank God for saralowshuli! shes my bestest fren in e whole wide world! even though we're not as close as in secondary sch [probably cos we dun see each other so often, but we also argue much less now haha], you n i noe we'll always remain dear to each other! im sorry for e times i've made you sad, but please noe tt i never meant for it to happen n i really love you alot! i noe how much you've done for me, n tt you really mean e words you say, i just wanna thank God for e sincere you whos always on my side! muah* my love to you, my one n only girliebestfren.
thank God for my decision to come to acjc, n for everything we had to go thru before i actually knew e real moseslimdaoyi! :) n its amazing how God arranged for everything to happen, for me to step into his life at e right time, for him to step into mine at a terrific time.. :)
thank God for weiren! my bro-in-Christ, esp during my sleepless nights! you're my magical sleeping potion! e days before my prelims n a's when i couldnt fall asleep! n somehow talking to you always made me sleep! for e times you've prayed for/W me, n im never shy to ask you to pray w me over e phone. for sharing w me what you dun share w others, n for being e person i can share what i dun share w others! for e right words given at e right times.. :)
thank God for jas n doreen, e happy threesome in acjc. :) my going-home pals, people who helped me fit into acjc, my exercising frens, gymming pals.. i'll always remember e trips to e pines, n they must carry on!

hongkong i love youu! :) hahaha. ynoe i've always wanted to stay in hongkong since young! haha.. n my love for hongkong has been rekindled today after spending a day of trueblue hongkong lifestyle. woke up during noon, went to a nice restaurant for tea [yumcha] andden went SHOPPING! haha i finally found nice clothes! n e weather today was so warm, i was only wearing one layer! tt made shopping alot easier! i went to several shops lookin for a pair of jeans n ended up not buying anything.. haha aah i cant find a pair which i like more than gstar! what is wrong w me?! yepp then a veh heavy dinner after tt which has made me into e fatpig i am now. theres this shop in hongkong called appleshop, which is some denim shop.. i was trying on jeans n i kept complaining i looked fat in their jeans [just so i could get away cos e lady kept throwing jeans over for me to try] n e lady was giving such ridiculous comments HAHA.
okay anyway im really having alotta fun in hongkong, i dun wanna go back to china haha.. i remember in p6, after my onemonth stay in hongkong, when i got back to s'pore, i cried myself to sleep every night! cos i missed e fun in hongkong sooo much! haha okay crazygirl. anyway have a happy new year everyone! :) hope you guys are having fun at e party! [aah i cant believe im missing it!] :):)

n yes i received an sms frm weiren just now, reminding me to thank God for e solitude i have while im in china.. now tt i recollect, indeed these 2weeks have been a good 2weeks, not tt im a loner n i dun like to have frens around. but really, taking 30/365days aint too much n it really is a good time to spend w your family, spending more time w God n genuinely have undisturbed qt's done.. although i do start thinking abt e a's again now andden! sighh alright g2g! bye :)

im in HONGKONG! okay how exciting. haha.. its soo much warmer here in hongkong! yes i really hope to go to disneyland, if time permits n i find co. but i wont be tt disappointed even if i dun get to go i guess.. n my hairs getting better i suppose. :( haha hopefully it'd be fine by e time i get back, n i think i kinda noe whatta do w it now.. yep i cant wait to get back! n use all my new clothes/accessories! haha. i really miss everyone! please dun have too much fun without me around! :( haha.. i'll be back in abt 2weeks time! please get e christmas pressies ready thankew hahaha. n people please go visit moses' cafe! hahaha. wallace said e fries are good btw.. hee. bye! :):)

i just permed my hair! okay i think look ultimate WEIRD! aah howw?? im veh sad la. i miss my old hair.. sigh i think i should just let it grow out, maybe it'd look better? meanwhile i must find ways to make it look more norm when i got out. grr it was supposedta be done by some famous hairdresser at a DISCOUNTED price of 400yuan! [=s$80!!!] im so pissed..

yesterday we watched e korean show - a moment to remember, it was kwite boring at first, but i heard e class girls talk abt e show before so i persisted, n i ended up crying like mad! its really veh sad, though e show was abit too slow moving for me, but i must say e whole plot was well done n well shot!
sorry abt not replying smses okay? cos i dunno howmuch it costs, but just to let you guys noe i've received them n thankew for all e belated burfday/merry christmas messages! miss you. :)

ohmy i needta stop this habit of sleeping till e afternoons!! i havent woken up to see e morning in days! its a habit i always end up acquiring during e hols. n its not like i go to bed veh late, like one am? ie i just end up sleeping like a pig.. w no exercise done, im disgusted at my lifestyle!! i think sch lifes actually much healthier for all of us! anyway, my burfday dinners been shifted to fri 16/12! haha sorry girls! for all e changes.
so i went to moses' church yesterday! n ohmy my first anglican serv in my lifetime n.. haha i saw people in e congregation falling asleep! okay i shall stop here. haha i dun think i should attempt sitting thru another anglican serv again.. restless me would cause much disruption to e people around haha.

we had dessert at food republic last night, i love e chingteng there! haha. then childish us started racing down all e escalators in wisma [which stopped functioning alr cos it was pretty late] only to find e exit to e underpass closed! so we hadta climb up all e escalators again n exit frm e outside.. it was a night of climbing alotta escalators n walking veh quickly back to e car to make sure it wasnt clamped haha.
im flying off this saturday alr.. :( how soon, n i'll be gone for a month! i hope this blog wont be abandoned for a month again! haha.

aah stupid me! i slept for like 13h on fri night, thus e insomnia last night. i only fell asleep at like 3+am last night i think.. had a good chat on msn w majun before tt cos hes in china now. we havent talked since like i dunno how many months ago i think n he was practically nonexistent during e a's.. so anyway after going to bed at 3+ i obviously couldnt wake up for church! which was utterly horrible cos i pangseh'd shangwei n my mum hadta bring all my camping bags home for me frm church. so i think i'll go to moses' church in e late afternoon. im gonna collect my prom photos later! okay having a digi cam makes collecting photos less exciting, unlike last time when we used film, n you wouldnt noe how you looked until you collected e photos frm e developing shop! people please start activating my tagboard!! haha. :):) enjoy your hols..
