today we celebrated the july babies' birthdays after service! then we had lunch at church. then we chilled until the van came to send us back. :) OH in the van we came to the subject of childbirth and labor and aunty janet was telling me it felt like hopeless constipation ! MANN.. but at the time i was gagging and laughing at her description so i didn't really find it that horrifying. women who've gone through it are superwomen lah. GO MUMS!

shooting rubber bands in the teens room. so unintelligent right? what to do.. boys what! (jk lah)

jieyi in deep thought. mom singing away.

woke up despite the wonderful good-for-sleeping weather to study for the quiz. after some time sis. yunli came because she had some free time. waited for 10:40 to come and went down to wait for the van. waited at the void deck for quite a while, but it was okay lah, because it was SO COOOOOOL i didn't mind waiting at all. teens club went great with ROY & GEIL. had lunch with them, s.yunli and YL before going to clean church. mopped and scrubbed like a mad woman -- my exercise for the day. :)

tuesday was my mom's birthday! made a nice nice card for her.

>today we all went out together to holland V for lunch with my aunt and the weather was BURNINGG HOTT. had a great Vietnamese lunch (was stuffed) and went to walk walk abit after that. then we went to SGH to see granny. she's good and cheeky and lively and all... laughing at other patients and downing mouthfuls of water when the nurses turn around (she's not supposed to do that...) pestering the nurses for dinner and complaining about how itchy the drip thing is. she'll be home tomorrow. :) thank God. some pics from today. oh i saw bro. roy's house too, while my aunt was running an errand at a house nearby. the houses around there are bigger than huge. they're like palaces or ... country houses, seriously unimaginable. olympic sized pools (literally, not figure of speech) and underground carparks. tim and i were like "BWAAAAA. BWWWAAAAAAAAHH!" as if we transamorgafied into another country suddenly. then on the way out this impatient lambourgini driver zoomed in and out of lanes like nobody's business... it's interesting watching how these people live the high life. it's so... different. anyway tim went for the wedding rehearsal and the rest of us went for dinner.

some cobbler at holland V. i like the smiley there. :)

tim excited over a real live lawn mower at the house.

me apologizing for almost hitting someone.

trying out parallel parking.

ice kachang at SGH. a real craving.

granny abserving other grannies.

casurina dinner. mmMMmmm.

I HAVA PHONE so contact me as you wish. same number lah. :)

today's my daddy's birthday. :) made him a card after he went to sleep last night.

tomorrow, we're gonna try to celebrate JX's bday. if it's just jieyi and tim and me then SO BE IT LAH, we will celebrate our hearts out in pathetic number. :D hope he enjoys it. haven't been talking to him much, so just want him to know that the abm people care TOO.

today, i feel worse than yesterday. got up with a swelling headache and a baaaaad mood. maybe it's a brain tumor or something scary like that. WHAT TO DO, it's so ridiculous to take another MC so i just carried on and tried to do schoolwork lor. SOSIANLAH. my face is in a mess too.

welcome to earth reuben goh...

i am still handphoneless and helplesssssss. ah, the agony!

been quite sick since monday, but today i'm much much bettah! (yay) totally conked out for almost the whole day yesterday and i couldn't even do schoolwork! imagine that, a homeschooler taking MC. anyway i was really sick and my throat was grosse looking and infected with PUS. but now i'm fine. just coughing and spitting alot. i still look horrid, but at least i feel better.




timmy sent me this spazzy stupid looking fotoooooooooh and it sums up pretty much what me and jieyi did during VBS. GAHAHA no lah, kidding. somebody took this pic while we were being targets for the kindies during waterbombs. NO, i wasn't trying to sit on jieyi while she was unaware, although that sounds fun too.. look at joy in the background, staring hopelessly on at the rice harvester and the idiot she has as teachers. :) I LOV VBS.

Psalms 117:1-2 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

thank God that He's merciful and doesn't just strike us dead when we sin.

click! ---> A WATERBOMB VID WITH MY SCREAMING AS THE SOUNDTRACK (sorry lah i tried to control.) scroll down and look for "teens playing waterbombs". it's just one of the many vids tim took.[yayyy.] bJ was the guy who won it for the other team LOR. and when it was time to just bomb anybody jake bombed me, daph helped me bomb him and scold him, and i got really mad with him and scolded him too, all in the good spirit of games. :) why he must go and trifle with us? we his own team one LEH.

some games pics i got from timmy. he didn't really take many and there are more with sYunli but anyways, enjoy the lame captions.

blogged on the teens blog yesterday. so nervous lah, like what if i say something wrong or misspell stuff? go read the blog and those who are members, BLOG! click here---> :)

I WILL BLOG PICS when i get them from tim after he finishes doing something on his comp. pics of teeeeeeeeens camp ! :) the theme was dare to be different and it was a really nice camp, not in the way people may think nice camps should be, e.g. many people, fun games, lots of workers, but it was nice because everyone there was so nice, and eager, and wanted to learn something. during the peak there were 8 teens, and everytime else there were 4 to 5. not a big group at all huh? :) when jacob wasn't around, tim was the only guy. poor tim. go tim!
so, on the first day [friday] we met for lunch and went to telipok where we waited for everyone else to come. bJ was late [i think] so we started with icebreakers and songs first. played cherades, winloseordraw, and sound effects. we had the opening message [short short one] when bJ arrived, and then went for games. the games were funny LAH. weird paperplate handphone running memorizing squatting games. they made my thighs ache -- until now! our dear PE t'cher miss. tay lah, so genius. went back to church for dinner and SG with everyone else that usually comes. filmed our salvation testimonies [HAHAHAHA] and went for night games! before we left we freeeaked out over beetles and a huggge flying cockroach. night games were at bottle tree! WE WALKED IN LEH. played with lightsticks and acted spastic while walking. :Dwent back home, bathed, i ate cup noodles and slept at about 4. :(
next day we got up, had devotions, breakfast, and morning worship. for teens team time [bJ came up with that] we painted the teens room abit and washed two vans. [teen labour..] after lunch we had the FUNNY FUNNY QUIZ unofficially called WAN, OR DOWAN, by me. it's something like deal or no deal. heee. for games, we had capt's ball, blindfold game, and water bombbbbbs. i really felt like a kid and i screamed alot, too much. got really angry with jacob for making me so ruthlessly wet and there's a little video clip of me screaming at him which i just watched! funnyness. daphne told him he was cruel to me too. oh yes, my team [moses] consisted of jacob, daphne, me, and sometimes bJ. went back, had dinner, had night worship, and reflection and ice cream time :) slept really well after that but woke up tired and struggled to stay awake during the message. stayed for lunch and debrief, then came home. took a nap and am now having a headache. :(

I GO EAT PANADOL, BYE!

MY HANDPHONE'S S-P-O-I-L-E-D ! antenna spoiled, button spoiled, now charger thing spoiled. *weeps* if you gotta tell me something call my house or tim or something.

leaving for camp soon. heard there'll be night games till early in the morning. i'm very sleepy now leh, how how how. anyway, hope this'll be a good camp. bonding lah, bonding. *winks.*

ANYANG! che ga mon jo kah keh. X)

i had a weird dream last night. can't really remember the details but i was a fugitive again somehow, with belinda lee and my cousin. we were in some hotel in china and we knew some information that made people wanna hunt us down, and within the building we were being chased, so we kept running up and down stairs and squeezing into small attics and weird secret passages. super exciting lah, wish i could tape my dreams or something. also right, after my cousin and i got out of the hotel, we went to a place like little india, only thing everything was korean! so i shall call it little korea. we were looking at all the cool stuff there and we stopped at a stationary shop with all these unbelievably cute mousepads and stickers [my dream very detailed right??] and we were choosing them to buy as SOUVENIRS. on the run still can think of souvenirs.. haha. as we were choosing stuff these two korean guys came up beside us and called us china girls in korean, and i got mad so i started speaking in korean very loud! [no, only in the dream can i speak korean, not in real life, sadly.] from there i can't remember anything anymore. so, the end.

maybe can continue part 2 tonight! HEEHEE..

today someone came by to my HOUSE and gave me a huge flower! none other than dear sistah yunli. *big smile. :)* flowers are almost instant happiness to me. i cannot help smiling when i recieve flowers one. heeheee, THANKS MISS TAYYYY.

i love sunflowers ...

teens camp this friday to sunday! remember sleeping bags and toothbrushes ah! sounds kinda' exciting. maybe its because it's the first ABM teens camp i'm going to. :D

i don't really like the weather today. but in everything have to give thanks LEH! so, thank God that ........ there are no hailstones? i think that counts.

i'm happy i managed to pay good attention 90% of the time during the preachings yesterday. :) after church i went to meet RAYCHER!! wah, very happy we finally fixed a date. it's almost unbelievable. hahar, exaggerating lah. i wanted sushi and she wanted long johns, SO we ate some of both and talked and talked until it was like, 3+. so guess what we did after lunch? GO TO MAKE-UP SHOPS AND BROWSE BROWSE BROWSE. heehee.. i missed doing that with her. oh, we were looking at the shelves when i spotted this weird product labled: eye and lip remover. and i was like, woah, raye, look! we laughed like crazy for a while and the sales ladies just stared at us. LOL. also, i forbade her touch the perfume bottles due to past experiences. hazardous girl.. =D i had fun. came home and ZZZZZZZed.

i'm putting on weight every two weeks or so YOU KNOW! :) i just hope it all goes to the right areas and not just the face or something inproportionate like that!

wonder how's sher and geil. if you're reading, HULLO! *big smile* souvenirs! HAH, kidding luh.

AZAAAAA.

woke up at 5 today to send geil and family off at the airport. =) they'll be there for three weeks. didn't really know how to get to the pickup point so tim said, "just wake me up tomorrow i walk you there lah." and so he escorted me to shop and save and then to the pick up point. got BBQ chips and mentos from shop and save, essentials for a sleepy day. went into the budget terminal for the first time and had a great time of fellowship with everyone, eating lovely HANS chicken pie. i couldn't help it. chicken pie is ultimate tastebud-joy for me. keehee.. then i ate another sandwich nobody wanted to eat. sent them off, and w\headed to changi village to get some breakfast for those who hadn't eaten. came home and ZZZZZZZZed. :)

now my daddy's attending a wedding and tim's out practicing piano with b. Mike. that leaves my sleeping-beauty mommy, bran, and me at home. i hope my daddy's okay. he's not been feeling good lately.

i want the sms mens quartet and christy galkin CD ! :) hope our church will reach that level of choir standard one day. HEEE..

bJohnny has this great question sheet thing where you can write any (sincere) question on it anonymously and he'll answer it until we understand it. SO, any questions you're too paiseh to ask him yourself, email me and i'll write it down for you. :) guess he wants to make sure we all know why we're doing what we're doing, or for that matter, not doing what others are doing.

common questions teens ask:

what's wrong with anything else other than hymns and classics?
what's the diff between charasmatic churches and our church?
why shouldn't girls wear pants? (haha.)
what's wrong with BGR?
what's wrong with going to the movies?
blah blah the list is endless. ASK if you sincerely wanna know because there is an answer for every one of these questions. sometimes we avoid these questions or argue with carnal reasoning because we DON'T WANNA FOLLOW.

Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

and sometimes we just follow what the pastor says for the sake of 'face' or not getting into trouble.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
2 Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

AZA~

today's a really hot day! i don like...

well anyway, happy anniversary to my parents ! =)

after SG yesterday some of us went for supper near my place. more bonding time. :) had a good time of praying with the girls during SG. each of us are facing different things daily, and it's great that we can come together, encourage, and be encouraged. the only time i don't really like sharing problems is when it becomes a oh-pity-poor-me session, so, must be careful too and check our motives! :) i shared some lame thing about my granny spilling oils on the floor and making my room really slippery. haha, it was the first thing that came to my mind.

anyways, today's children's outing was fun and fun-ny! timmy and my games were weird and the kids weren't that crazy about them. nevermind, just gaining experience. :| jieyi, jacob, YL, geil and roy were there too. once we reached there we went berserk with the waterbombs trying to fill all of them up in a frenzy. we did la, in the end. jacob led the songs! too bad we weren't there to 'support' him as we were berserk-ing away with the bombs. i got eaten up by mosquitoes. :( so we played the games and at the end of everything was the FREESTYLING TIME, when all the kids just went mad and bombed anybody. WHAT'S UP WITH THE BOYS?? they were charging at poor me and hurling many many bombs at me all at once LAH, PAIN LEH! i didn't know it, but i was screaming very very crazily saying weird chinese, malay, and english phrases unconsciously. very sad you know! i was aiming to go home dry as possible. somemore i was having a stomach ache while they were bombarding me LORRR. EEYER! then when we were all walking towards the toilet i could hear them boys whispering, "later she change finish oredy then we BOMB her again!"

and thanks, geil, for the towel. oh and sorry i gave it back to you all smelly and sweaty. heh.

had lunch with a few people and tadah, i'm home.

just got a card from joel wong. :)) so sweeeeet.

Ephesians 6:13-18 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

listened to a sermon on this passage today and one thing that struck me was the helmet of salvation. helmets are to protect heads. and so our salvation protects our heads. most of the time when christians are attacked it's through the mind. we start questioning and doubting, and with no salvation there's nothing more to think about. but when we know there was a time when we chose God over sin and asked Him to cleanse us and be our King (a.k.a. we got saved), we just have to refocus and obey whatever He says. anyway, it was a great message in which I DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP! =D global phenomenon huh? really, you should hear it too, although the preacher's irish and his accent takes getting used to. ask timmy for the address. HEH.

my freakish headache is subsiding, but i really don't understand why it won't go away. panadol after panadol, i think i'm gonna be transformed into one giant walking panadol LOR. trying not to make a big fuss out of it but it feels like there's a BIG ball barring rolling around in my head, bouncing off my small brain, and hitting my skull. but no worries, it's subsiding so i expect it to vanish soon. =) and hor, pimples are sprouting out all over my collarbones! disaster right? must be the weather.

helped peel and chop veggies just now so my hands reek or garlic and it's spreading to my keyboard. hats off to chefs.

the choice is really simple, GOD or SIN. it's the decision that's difficult, and so we complicate things with rationales and excuses and blameshift here and there. in the end, there's no running away from God. if you're saved, you go to heaven. if you're not, you go to hell. if you're saved and lived on your toes loving God and obeying Him, you get rewards. if you're saved but lived in sin, every word and deed will be under the microscope and questioned. there are no excuses or blameshifting there, and every secret thing will be brought out.

God promised christians strength and power. it's all about whether we're willing to accept it and reject sin or not. daily struggle, but overcomable.

i'm realllly tired over some issue. but hey, everything happens for a reason and God is in control. :) no self-victimizing and wallowing ! AZA!

STILL having the killer headache! IT'S BEEN CHREE DAYS. aaaaaaaaaah pain. :(

the faithful wounds of a friend will never be well taken or readily received, but a friend is born for adversity, and we are to bear each others' burdens. i guess being a christian really isn't all about yourself. there're so many other burdens we help carry for each other. when victories are won, it's a joy. when struggles seem endless, we weep and pray for each other. the christian life's really ironic. we're happy in sadness, we work when we're tired, we can smile as we cry, and we turn the other cheek when someone slaps us. totally not what an abundant life seems like, but it is.

anyway, i'm eating dinner now. it's 11! late dinner. =) i realize how little i've been praying lately. maybe that's why so many things are falling apart! i'll pick it up again! i'm making it sound like a hobby. rephrase, i will pray more!

thank God for all the bros and sis's in church who are so KAYPO and caring. :) my church family.

get well soon raye! eat more sher! [you're not fat lah.]

OH oh, i put on weight again! YIPEEE~

some people requested the link for my 'compo' [haha] generally touching on my socialization so here it is. please don't make mean comments! heh. :)

yesterday daddy and i walked to telipok for SG. tim was gonna go there from somewhere so it wasn't worth taking a cab, and we ended up walking. wanted to see how fast we could reach there on foot. took about 40 mins, not too bad lah. :P everyone was kinda weird or solemn at SG. i think we're all going through our own rough times, but i'm glad we still made time to meet and be encouraged. went to bed quite late and STILL my granny didn't wanna sleep yet. she didn't directly or purposely disturb me lah, but she's deaf so she can't hear the noisy things she does. i admit, i was realllly angry. sounds so not-agnes right? agnes is supposed to be patient and smiley and nice to old folks. i turn into a meanie when it comes to sleep issues. :(

played badminton from 10.30 to 12.30 today, and went to bishan to watch HLC's presentation thing. more so to meet sher lah. bJ dropped me off at yishun mrt and i squeeeeezed into the packed train beside these china guys, from some province, you know, the slang makes it sound almost thai or vietnamese or sth. anyway i think i was kinda smelly from sweating. funny. reached bishan and saw bMike and family and some other kids' families. waited for pickup, reached, and found sher. met a girl called bella there too. fussed around, smiled around, ate food, helped pack up, and went home at.. 6 thereabouts. when i reached home i had this horrible headache which is still kinda bothering me. took panadol and TRIED to sleep but i couldn't. tried to eat but my tummy felt so bloated and undependable i felt like barfing. tried to sleep again, got fed up, got up, and made a nice hot pot of udon to eat, which had made me feel a whole lot better. the flu bug's floating around ... gotta build up immunity. :)

granny HAS to wear pampers now, regardless of whether she likes it anot ! then again even with pampers, someone has to change them for her. :( GAAAAAAAH -- I CAN DOO ITT !!

tomorroh i MUST meet the girls. i will siam everything i can if anything crops up.

Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

the thought of my life and thoughts being 'taped down' and shown to everyone is super freaky. you really start to live life differently when you realize you're accountable to someone and there's no escaping it. :|

my mom's at the doc's now. i don't even know why. got to chat abit to geil yesterday, and i was hoping jieyi'd be online but in the end she wasn't. it's okay. :)

i retook that maths test and passed. finally.

granny's getting weaker each time she comes to stay so i'm doing more and more and more stuff for her. i feel like a private nurse! lol. shall not go into details cause it's quite disgusting. FIGHTING! i can do all things through Christ. philippians something something.

badminton game tomorroh, try to make it pweese.

YAY my blogger dashboard is back to normal so i can post like siao now! been quite busy of late. feeling the stress, which i haven't felt in a while due to simple lazy humanhood. emotionally been in a turmoil. it's not even like a rollercoaster ride lah, it's a bungee. anyways, i hate wallowing in self pity. i have so much to be thankful for, so TARRY ON! won't die one. :) made a birthday card for ah meng two weeks ago, everyone please write on sunday. let's see what's new these few weeks. UM, i failed a math test. got three cards from church people [whee. reap and sow!] went to pasir ris park to celebrate mothers day with my ah mah and got to pet smelly horses. i realllly miss my fellow musketeers and i feel horrible for bailing out on them. i feel realllly bad. SORRY. dono what to say oredy. :(

the posting page in blogger is weird, or issit just my comp? =( waiting for my face mask to dry now.

well, i'm not very sure about the whole card-website thing. i doubt i'll have time to really make and sell properly. as of now i hardly make cards and if i do i have to use them up real quick. SEE HOW LAH. :)

i wonder, if i walked all day in high high heels, would that make my calve muscles grow? hmm. okay, i'm always finding shortcuts. LAZY ME. stress your muscles AND look good at the same time, clever. ARGH, there's some guy/girl upstairs smoking and totally filling my room up with bad stuff!

i want fotos from the tuesday outing! anybody who has them or know of someone who does pleeeeese send them to me, kumapta!

got back into my card-making 'angine' [malay.] or mood yesterday as i made jamie's and des'
birthday cards, so just now i made three of the same cards that are so ADORABLE. they're for sale. i'll keep them in case anybody wants to buy them in emergency situations when they need cards real quick that're cheap. hehh. they're reallly cute. really. i'll bring them to church to show my loyal customer jieyi. :) should make her a membership card for her loyalty to my half past six business. HAHA, can get a 2% discount. aye, she's always paying me in rounded up sums. THANKS JIEYEE !

man, i pity my track shoes. they're neglected. i always wear my kayaking shoes out and leave them in the dark shoe cabinet all alone. i think i'll wear them on saturday. can't bear to see them sit there uselessly any longer. SORRY TRACK SHOES! SORRY CHAO DA GRASS IN LOMBONG!

i LOVE the clothes my aunt gave me yesterday. the great thing is, i was just complaining about not having bought new clothes for the last eon yesterday, and yesterday my aunt bought me two pieces of clothing. although it's just two pieces, it's better than nothing right? :D God even gives me stuff when i'm bad and complain instead of asking Him. :|

my tummy is growing fatter and fatter and there's nothing i can do about it. why? well because of my bad back, my mom forbids me do any sit-ups. i MUST do sit-ups or i will turn into an in proportionate blob that resembles a snowman, skinny limbs and huge tummy. GAH noooo. i want to be FIT !

i had a dream and it was very funny, but i forgot what it was about. :( oh well. AZAA, and do your homework for tomorrow's BTI.

YAHHHHHHH i'm so freaked out and my hairs are still standing. shall relate my horror story to all my fellow freaked-out-by-roaches friends. :) it's a short story lah. i was gonna make cards with watercolor paint and i remember my dad reserving a jar for my painting purposes. so i was walking through the kitchen to get it when i saw this baby ka-zhua lying half-dead on the floor. my dad was changing the gas under the stove and he crawled out so my dad killed him. it. whatever. so i said out loud to myself, EEEEEEWWW and continued walking. then in a split second i visualized my jar and asked myself, what if there's a ka-zhua inside and i pick it up? so i laughed to myself imagining how i'd react and how idiotic i'd look. AND i reached for the jar below the sink AND lo and behold there was a HUMONGOUS ka-zhua staring through the paint stains right into my very eyes ! GAAAAAAAAH. i closed my eyes, shouted YEEEEEEEEEWWWW!! and ran away to find my papa/ pest buster. then i told him how i thought about this happening and it really happening and how i may have some mental future-telling powers, but i think he thought i made it up. :| oh well. it's true, i promise, i really thought of the scene before it happened. weird huh? vleh, now my jar has a roachie in it. gotta use some other glass. :( my daddy'd drowning the fella. HEHH.

happpppy birfday to jamie. :)

AYE, spent may day with the ABMers. we had an outing to lower pierce. now, timmy was asked to be the games master and the day before the outing he and i were crrrracking our brains out trying to think of games to play. thankfully we made up some games and everything went smoothly. this is how my labor day went: we left the house at 8.30, met jieyi at the interchange, took 855 and reached at 9.30. then we saw jamie, des and bro. mike and family at the play ground. tim and i were excited to see a merry go round and rushed there only to have our hopes of a good spin dashed by a huge green spider that had thoroughly webbed the entire merry go round. :( so i saw the flying fox a few meters away and skipped over, hung on, pushed off the ground, and got a face full of spider webs AND A SPIDER on my body. i started freaking out and asking jieyi to flick the spider off but she just said EEE GREEN GREEN ONE. i went into spasms, as you can imagine. anyway, soon all the rest of the people came and we proceeded to the field where we had icebreakers and a sun tan at the same time. learned quite a few new things about some people from the ice breakers. :) bro. johnny then gave a short exhortation and invitation, and we had refreshments that were made with love but kinda squashed too. not long after, we continued playing GAMES! i shan't bother explain how the game goes lah, but it involved blindfolds, colorful balls, locks and keys. heh heh heh. i couldn't play since i arranged all the balls and keys and knew where everything was, so i became camera man and cheer leader. shouted till my throat was/is soooore. so after that everyone continued to play rounders using a log my dad found as a bat. a log. how weird is that? anyway it started drizzling and we all went to makan. most of the girls didn't eat cause we weren't hungry but the guys did [needless to say lah.] said bye and went home in the van, where conversational topics ranged from ponies to lamas to riding camels. came home and napped cause my back was quite painful. don't know what's wrong with it, but it can reallly hurt at times. oh well. :|

what's the diff between a llama and a camel? llamas don't have humps. see? but don't believe all that evolving rubbish of course.
a mare is a matured female horse.
a stallion is, well. an uncastrated male horse.
a baby horse is a foal.

tadah. AZAA must studdy studdy already.

alright, my team lost the quiz today. by 3 points, which is one question's worth of points. i wonder what the winners get. at least we didn't lose miserably, HAHA.

tim had to practice the piano for tomorrow so i had lunch with yunli. she was having a headache and i was just bearing with my throat. we ate and talked and then aunty alice walked by and sat down. she was in the area. so we continued eating and talking until tim came to da bao food. after that we all headed home. aunty alice was talking about my skin being very fair and teochew and stuff. haha, i remember when i used to wanna be tan like everyone else. now i'm fine with anything. being fair isn't that bad what. don't have to waste money on those whitening products and sob over pigment problems. =) OH, one day right, i asked my mom a random question in hopes of seeing her stutter answerlessly. "mommy, am i pretty?" you know what she said? "no." logically i made alotta noise and she continued. "you're not pretty. in fact you look funny. but you're charming. like me. hahaha~" moms hava way with words..

if you could wish for one thing, what would you wish for? i'd wish for an infinite amount of wishes. haha, cliche huh? :P

yay, i woke up earlier than usual. it's 8! haha, usually i can't get up on this particular day of the week. =) john 8-16 john 8-16 john 8-16. jiayou!

on a sad note, i woke up with a sore throat and it's bugging me now. must have been all that fried food and chilli i had last night. :(

just came back from suppppper! just now at BTI bJohnny went through how to share the Gospel and stuff, then daph, jieyi, joanna and me prayed together. my hair was wet and i bunned it up so i was having a serious headache throughout the whole thing, but it was tahan-able lah. ^^ THEN we all went for supper in sembawang! a bunch of us had really expensive and not worth nasi lemak and ate off those who didn't have nasi lemak. chatted and stuff and came home. i found out that this blog actually DOES have readers! [wheee.] jacob was totally making fun of my beetle chronicles and imitating me and stuff. ARGH! and jieyi said she can't eat and read my blog at the same time. okay lah that's understandable. HEH.

been having a lower back ache for quite some time. doesn't feel right and i think i pulled something. :(

hokay, big finale teens club quiz thing tomorroh so i'm gonna try and wake up to read. GOOOODNIGHTEY.

today i remembered a funny and true story starring timmy. he used to be fat when he was in primary school, and he was also a monitor in lower primary? i think la. anyway he got so fed up one day of his noisy companions who were tumbling around uncontrollably and screaming their lungs out, that he wrote two big words on the board and stood back proudly hoping the class would take note of the huge memo. suddenly everyone started laughing and pointing at the words and then someone shouted," HAHA. HE SAY KEEP QUIT !" timohtay, you so funny luh.

ho-kay, those who are going for the BTI (Bible training and intercession) this friday, remember to:
memorize- 2 tim 2:22-26, ecclesiastes 7:29, isaiah 53:6, and romans 3:23. as much as possible try lah.
also, read- genesis 1-3 and romans 1-3.
and, think about these questions- what is the gospel? what are the main points from unsaved to saint?

John 8:31-36 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

yesterday we learned about the beatitudes in sunday bible hour. finally understand what they're all about, although bJohnny hasn't covered them all yet. they are my new criteria for true happiness, since each verse starts, "blessed are they that...". :) in the worship service we learned about the second coming of Christ. it's seriously complicated and SCARY stuff lah, and we as christians ahould be watching, waiting, and serving.

after service i was feeling lazy and the weather was horrib, so i didn't really wanna go meet the girls. then jieyi was saying, don't skip lah, wait they angry. and i was like, in a dilemma. dillema. in a quandary lah. in the end when i asked sher and raye if we could skip that day sher replied me, we're already eating. -_-"

anyway last night i couldn't really sleep and today i woke up with a sore throat ! NNOOOOOOOO. man, i hate being sick lah. now my eyes are puffy and i'm sneezing. NOT GOOD GAN JUE. *cries*

i hope this week'll be a productive one. :|

go to the abm webbie to see some recent pics!

tim had a bad experience with this beetle and lizard who ganged up to freak him out. i correct myself, i said in the heading it was a spider and a lizard? it wasn't a spider, it was a beetle! so tim was looking out for that spider i mentioned in an earlier post and he went to use the bathroom lah. then suddenly while he was, um, busy doing business, this beetle came flying in noisily, flapping around and everything. so he was, how to say. kallangkabot-ing away trying to smack it and in the end i think he took a hose and pulverized it. how to spell pulverized ah? polverise?? whatever. it was half dead and while he was reaching for a towel, he pulled it and a lizard dropped out, giving him another heart attack and random spastic convulsions and twitchings. ah so funny luh. i was laughing like mad when he told me what happened and i was GLAD IT WASN'T ME THAT HAD TO FACE THEM. :|

today at teens club daph brought a friend. she's nice. played cherades, and you know what i had to act out? "she went to the post office to eat jelly for lunch." this bJohnny super lah, how he come up with this kind of thing one? anyway i did it. YAY. sang songs, had a lesson on worshiping God properly, and had the quiz, which i wasn't really prepared for. must try harder to read the passage leh, i always last minute one. GRR, lazybumm. had lunch with yunli and now i'm here complaining about the weather, which i just realized is also God- given. okay lah maybe it's not so bad. know what happened to the israelites when they complained? they got struck dead my a plague ...... i think.

thank God for: the website is up [abm web]
fairly good complexion of late. [yay lah. finally.]
my dog's eating properly. for a while he starved himself. no idea why.
the breeze of wind that just came in.
the new girl today.
everything lah. ^^

Psalms 119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

how do we let go of our old, bad ways? by obeying what God says. hey that rhymes! cool. i didn't copy that from anywhere okay, i made it up myself.

AZA AZA FIGHTING!

tadah, new drawings! *beams* i like the second one from the top best. it's the most recent one and it's not finished [thus the lack of hair.]. the second last drawing is the roughest. the last one has a weird ear, but oh wells. :)

i'm thinking of making money [pocket money: i need it.] and i'm wondering if drawing portraits will work. doing test ones for my family [of course i cannot charge them la. also not they want me to draw one.] to see if it'll turn out looking like them. if i'm good, i'll offer to draw for anyone for a cheap price. NOT LIVE PORTRAIT AH, drawing from photo. i'm not that pro yet. i have problems drawing asian faces lah, ang moh faces can but not asian faces, cause they lack enough depth for my shading and, well we're tanner. must TRY. see how lah.

click on the drawings to see them in detail ! it looks much nicer up close, although the resolution is super.

YIPEE.

boring days. recently the days have been split into half, first it's sunny and horribly hot, the kind that makes you wanna tear your hair out, and then it's humid and rainy. weird huh?

there's a spider terrorizing the kitchen bathroom users and i don't like it cause i'm a kitchen bathroom user. [sorry, i feel like being long winded today.] it pops up here and there in the weirdest places and it just won't drown. i've tried to smack it dead several times, but i think it's a mutant or something. no offense, charlotte's web lovers. this spider is nothing like charlotte. it isn't grey, smart, pretty, and doesn't have the voice of julia roberts, although it might be female.

paranoia sets in. i have no idea why i'm going on and on about my hate for spiders.
-_-"

titus and phoebe gave me cards when i wasn't feeling too good and didn't go for SG. so cute right? then on sunday phoebe came to me and said, i gave u a card u know?. then i said, yeah. thanks phoebe! but she continued to stare at me with a smile and huge eyes. until i finally said, i'll give you one back next week, ya? LOL. then she ran off contentedly. SO CUTE.

for today's hour of preaching from that irish guy again, i learned about ezekiel. [yes, ezekiel again.] that God called him to warn the jews and tell them to repent, and then told ezekiel that nobody was gonna listen to him, but to still go and warn them anyway. so sometimes God wants us to do things not for the result we may have in mind using our logic, but for higher purposes that may seem abstract to us. tadah, i managed to learn something before falling asleep AGAIN. i think my mom's quite mad with me for doing that. but i really couldn't help it! i look at the verses, close my eyes, and next thing i know i'm on some weird position on the floor and my butt's numb. SORRY LA, BOSS. :|

gotta go do some school work [ =( ] BYEBYE and read your bibles!

yesterday afternoon my mom got me and tim to sit down and listen to a sermon by an irish preacher. FYI i can get really sleepy in the afternoon. so anyway, i tried my best not to doze off but i think i did, here and there. :| i did, however, manage to learn some things from whatever i did hear. the message was on ezekiel and the jews and how the jews thought God would never punish them, because they were his chosen people. although it was true that they were chosen, they forgot that didn't mean they could sin all they wanted. i think the point is, don't let God's promises numb you from your sin. good lesson for me. :)

ah, another school day. AZA!

Y-A-Y. finnnnnnnally got to eat a proper meal with raye and sher la. been so long! ate at sunplaza cause we were super starved. when we were ordering right, we took the opened-wallet opportunity to pay back each other's debts and whatever we owed each other. then we were like, hey i owe u this this this right? oh no i paid u aredy. eh? eh got anot ah? and the wearied cashier just stared on. after 3 minutes or so we ordered our food and sat down. talked and shot DUMB DUMB [two for emphasis] vids, ate, made fun of food that looked like mucus, and left. walked around and tried on funny clothes at this fashion and left. reached home at around 330 and NAPPED!

there goes my sunnyday. gotta go have some SUPPER now!
muah~

went for the piano concert thing on tuesday. i found it nice lah, even though i'm just staring at talented people who can do things with the piano that i can't. the music was okay and the atmosphere was nice. :) jo and jieyi were laughing at something during the concert [i think they just caught the laffing bug. they didn't even know what they were laughing at.] but the only think that cracked me up during the performance and made me suppress my gag-like laugh was this guy who looked quite young, and while he was playing he was like, i think supposed to be showing emotion, so when he held down notes he kind of made this tormented face, you know, how musicians look absorbed in their music, but to me he looked like he had to sneeze and was constipated at the same time. realllly luh, it was like, his would lift up his nose while pressing the keys ... then crumple up his face like when a person says aaAAAAAHH then ready to CHOO!, very very hilarious. i was just, gagging and convulsing away in my seat. ah so mean right..

so in the end there was no kayaking today, sadly. had teens club and the exodus 19-20 quiz. my team tried to catch up a lil with the other team. then ying liang did something with the mac book with tim and i walked around playing with my silly-ly braided hair. then poor uncle jacob was vacuuming the place all alone [his duty today.] before that he asked me if i wanted to help then i said NO, and he showed this very angry serious i-so-dun-like-you-mean-person face. so in the end i helped him la, call me soft hearted. NO, KIND hearted. hahaha. later tim joined him and helped wash the porch and back. THEN the uncle jacob didn't wanna wash the toilets, which is part of the duty, but tim and i persuaded him. HAHA, and tim and him washed them, while i supervised and gave eye power. after everything was done we were so super tired and sticky so we chilled in the teens room and made good use of the new air con. soon bJohnny came and then bought us lunch in appreciation of our work. reached home at around 3:45. TADAH, there goes my saturday.

pumped out a few pretty drawings this week, and i'm verry happy about them. no camera now so i can't post them up. :(

FIGHTING! must do better in schooooool !

at today's meeting bJohnny preached on what people are saying in hell and what it's like there, from what the bible tells us lah. scary stuff, and a good reminder to christians not to take our salvation lightly. freaks me out to think of going to hell. *shudders* oh sher dropped by too, from her mini holiday [shall not explicerate.] was nice to see her and chat and stuff, although she suddenly ganged up with my two other freinds and became a MEANIE. lol, make me angry ah, one day i take live lizard put into your bags ah! MUAHAHA, kidding laa.

and some people insist i dyed my hair. i didn't. it's all naturale! whoo~ ^^

Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

haha, Jesus even gave us a promise at the end. guess He knows we're humanly face-conscious scaredy cats. praying for the ev. meetings tomorroh, that some soul will be saved and doors will open. frankly right, i'm quite nervous about sharing the gospel. DONO WHY LEH, but honestly lah. i think if i do, i'd freak out half way when the person asks a difficult question and call bjohnny to answer it. HAHA. tsktsk. may God give us all extra fluency and intelligence to share his Word tomorrow. :) A-ZA !

of late i'm learning that as christians in this world, God holds us accountable for the souls around us , the people we have the chance to tell of God's gift. one day God will ask us why we didn't seize opportunities, or praise us for when we did. it's a freaky thought, especially for those people who have like, lots of friends. what are we really doing for the soul of the person beside us who is heading towards hell? something i'm chewing on and struggling with.

now, are there dogs in heaven?? or any animal for that matter?

see, this is totally why i don't feel like getting braces. if it were pain free or really fast or something then i'd do it lah. poor timmy..

timmy and me may be going for some free concerts. i repeat, FREE. :D msg him for details.

OH, i had a cool dream, that i went backpacking with some people in korea. HAHA very fun leh! then we played uno [i think tt's subconsciously my favourite game or sth.] and i could speak korean and i was boasting and stuff. AW, it was just a dream. AND i bought spoons and chopsticks [those metal ones la.] as souvenirs! so fun, the kind of dreams you wanna continue, like hoping for part two. heee.

my mommy says i'm about 6kg underweight? 6 KAYGEES? relly meh.. i seriously stuff myself everyday you know. oh, fact= bjohnny met me for the first time when i was 4. tim and i were playing at the void deck. great, i was probably doing something super-spastic. i was very spastic when i was little you know? i have vids of me DANCING. very funnnyyyy, my thorax was unusually longer than my legs [which were stunted like whad.]. i'm glad they grew. :| or i'd look like a hobbit or something. other funny things i did were ... writing lots of alphabet letters mirror image, wear tim's sandals on my hands, and basically copy whatever tim did. AND I'D SCOLD HIM TOO. one time i said, see what you've done? huh? and i was only 2 !! i wish i had a mei mei like me..

alright, enough dumb self-glorying baby stories [but they're all true okay!]. i shall go do something more worthwhile. heh. ^^ byebye la.

my cute little bran bran doesn't look like this anymore! he got a seasonal shave and is now B-A-L-D. heehee. funny looking creature. speaking of which, the pet shop near my house sells dog food at pretty neat prices, so if you wanna buy dog food so check it out. :) then maybe i can get commission. [rrright.]

oh, yesterday yunli came over to practice her violin with tim and eat dinner with us. dad was out surveying so it was nice to have company. played, ate and talked and laughed and she repaired my on-loan violin string and laughed somemore and talked about MARRIAGE [cute right? i added in my salt and pepper. KAHAHA] and she went back.

tadah.

my school work is not doing well. i'm SAD. must AZA. *pounds hand on table* AZAAAAAAAAH!

ev. meetings coming up. hope to see raye there. now gonna watch some documentary tim's bugging me to watch.
BYE.
