i spent the 25th at church and at my aunt's. :) nothing very exciting, but it was nice. yesterday was evacuation day for my family and neighbours. people came to hack down the corridoor cement floor so that it could be replaced and it's super loud. so we fled to eat lunch outside and then went up to the hill. we brought bran along, of course. on the way out i saw my neighbour taking her dog out too. today the hacking continues, but it's not right outside our house so it's not that unbearable.

it's xmas eve people! i've gotten three presents. one from mommy and two from aunts. ^-^ the singing yesterday was fine, although attendance was a little low. i was feeling seriously tired after service so i came home and napped, but when i woke up i had this pounding headache on my left side, so so disabling. today i feel much better lah. went down for breakfast with parents and came back first to read bible, blog, and do work. i don't wanna waste xmas eve idling away.
a note on the use of the word XMAS. people always say, "don't X Christ out of christmas!" well i say christmas isn't a christian word in the first place. christ + mass = mass of christ. UM, i'm not catholic so i don't do masses. Christ wasn't born on the 25th too, someone was just very misleading and made everyone think so. besides, the whole 'spirit' of christmas nowadays amongst the general public has nothing to do with God or Christ or His birth or the purpose of His coming. it's become a materialistic eat drink and be merry holiday where you kiss under funny plants and be good for ulterior motives [santa]. i find it ironic that people 'die die' want to put Christ's name in a holiday that now has so littttle to do with Him, and if you study the origin of christmas you would even be more reluctant to do so. but anyhow, i'm not saying you should or shouldn't call christmas christmas. i'm saying there is no point forming convictions on this trivial matter because it would hardly make a difference in the end. i use xmas because i want to save typing/writing energy, not for the sake of being a rebel or what not. i kind of had to explain all this to people a few times, so i thought i'd just throw everything out here and ask people to read it if they asked me why i used the word xmas.
i shall go wash off my face mask now. :D

YAY i have gotten my comp back [thank GOD!] and carol's back too! :D today some of us went to play captain's ball. at first they played at a court near my house, but it started raining so everyone went to the semb mart void deck and i joined them. the way we play very funny one lor! got screaming and falling down and cheating [sort of la.] funfunfun. after that we went for lunch near northpoint. shared porridge with geil and i just realized i forgot to pay s. weichern back [AIYOH]. a very happening morning!
christmas is coming. i know it's some worldly holiday and all, but the festive air is so refreshing. there're sales and good buys and starbuckz at NP is even giving away sample drinks in nice big cups, so much so it's as good as a free drink! when else does that happen?? :D i think i'm getting carried away. change subject.
lets remember to pray for people. the number of things to pray for is really overwhelming, but we should still give it a shot right? pray for people who are finding it tough running the race, people who are doing right, people who are not.
goodnight everybody. sleep well. :)

i am so sad. my comp is down, and no it wasn't my doing. some male in my family used it to test something and tadah, now it's spoiled. anyway now i gotta use tim's comp. keyboard so funny one, tsk. this week's my mom's leave week so we're trying to spend time together.
last night i ate and ate until i was so bloated that i had to turn to tiger balm for help. i think i'm suffering from indigestion. :( so if you see me these few days, just know that i'm not actually that fat. it feels awful.
on monday my mom and i went to eat with geil to celebrate her being born day! roy was having a haircut so we invited him along. BTW he's botak now [so cuuuute] LOL.

reached home from church camp on saturday evening! aiyoh, there's so much to tell about the camp i seriously dunno where to start lah. let me generalize everything. the messages were great and i will remember them. the weather was awesome, thanks to God. the people were super funny and nice and family-like. the facilities were quite run down but i guess everything else made up for that. =) the theme was pressing on! hebrews 12:1,2. we went to a waterfall and went crazy there, we saw an injured horse, we tried out archery and went back again cause it was too fun, we hunted for tarantulas, we played captain's ball in the rain, scrabbled and unoed, and made idiots of ourselves during charades. FUN RIGHT? my roommate was GEIL; we both got freaked out by scary bugs and stayed awake for hours. i bunked in a room with her, and in the other rooms of our apartment were the bornays, a very cute family. sometimes i felt like i was in the philippines when geil and everyone spoke tagalog, but that's fine. ;) the bus rides were okay and pretty funny OTHER THAN when the ride up the mountain starts. the way up was alright but the ride down was seriously pukey and like, 3 ppl puked in the bus. i almost did but i held it in by crouching into a ball in the seat beside roy. when we were down from the mt. i went back to my seat beside u. roland and jake.
alright, there are some weird ideas going on now because i sat beside jacob and was laughing like a mad person there. clarification: i was actually sitting with geil and planned to spend the whole ride with her. then we played uno and aunty janet, who was sitting beside her son in the backest row, told me to change seats with her so it'd be easier. geil sat with roy and i promptly sat one seat away from jake. then we played that micro-scrabble with jerry and i moved beside him. on the ride back, my dear buddy geil was already sitting beside my bro so i just sat beside u. roland, who was beside jake. later i changes places with u. roland. and all the laughing was just lame stuff. the END. no, i don't like jacob, there are no sparks flying or anything, please stop speculating. i will be more reserved next time.
anyways, when i was sitting beside u. roland on the ride home, i said i was hungry and he pulled out 2 cinnamon buns out of his pocket. FYI i love cinnamon stuff. so i ate the chocolate one and when i came to the plain one i realized it was full of huge black ants. so i can proudly say i have eaten ants before! [ unconsciously] some of us were supposed to go shopping at JB but in the end it was too late. reached home around 8. at 11 the lows came to get their dog. LOL.

i came back from church yesterday and CRASSSHED until about 8. yesterday was the last day of VBS! oh yes, i taught on the second day right? and it was successful, just the lesson part, but everything else was crazy-out-of-control. kids just love storybooks lah. you start telling the story and suddenly all the kids hush and look. amazing. so THANK GOD even if they were wild the rest of day, at least they payed attention to the lesson. that's like the most important part. =)
sis. weichern took the third day lesson where we acted out some funny skit. i was delilah, a clever bully, and isa was mary, a good christian. my character [i say it like i'm some big shot actress HAHAHA] can dance ballet, sing, and knows taekwando. she also likes to bully christians. in the end she gets saved and her life changes. that was the main point.. a change of life. :)
and finally, yesterday isa shared the gospel to the kids that could come. they're really young but they all said they wanted Jesus to save them from their sins and they said they believed in Him. ^^ may God keep them and their faith safe as they grow up.
NOWW, church camp! i'm overly excited, as usual lah. i need more casual dresses to wear over jeans and i need track pants. but there's no time/money to buy them now so WHO CARES. isa is quite sick, so please pray for her! i really want her to go. =| it's supposedly very cold there so i'm bringing some long sleeved stuff. the bus ride is very long too so i'm bringing dumb stuff like eye masks and uno. i may write or draw too. if roy brings his dvd player then problem solved. =D AAAH i hope i don't puke.
my kayaking shoes spoiled. =( so sentimental.

WAHWAHWAH vbs is tough stuff! the first day was alright, i suppose. honestly i think this vbs is the one with the most hiccups i've ever seen. my mom kept reminding me to focus on the important things like giving the message to the children and depending on God. so that's what i plan to try to do today.
funny things about yesterday: half the kids in my kindies class are foreign. a bit of a language problem there. one boy is unimaginably hyper. i think he eats jet fuel or something. one boy is heart-wrenchingly sweeeeet. one girl doesn't wanna play anything or do art and craft. one girl basically is in her own world and does whatever she wants e.g. strangle and slap her friend and run around screaming. also, along with the kids come a group of helpers and moms. for art and craft we made sunglasses which are so sooooo cute. thanks geil for helping!!
today is scary. isa and sis. maria won't be there, so it's just sis. weichern and me, unexperienced me. AND I'M TEACHING LAH. i made a giant story book. the lesson's about the boy who gave 5 loaves & 2 fishes. AZA! pray for me. :) must depend on God. *chants*
pray for:
mememe. hah.
tim & games.
safety of kids.
strength for all workers.
kids to understand lesson.
kids to be good.
daddy & the bus.
parents to be nice.
kids to know Christ!

Proverbs 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

WEDDING CARD that is sold! actually it's a custom made one for jamie. her friend's getting married on a boat [SO SUPER COOL LAH. i wanna copy them next time also. XD] and i tried to think of something related and made this in the end. i still have to add some words/ a word on the left but i'm still thinking what to write. :\
i'm not feeling so good in spirits because i made a terrrrrible mistake ignorantly and may be in for some serious chiding. :( it's one of those times you wish you could turn back time. i have a big cloud over my head. (very sad face)

the message yesterday was on the blessed hope [Christ's second coming]. it was encouraging and a great reminder on how we should live life. :) thank God daphne, geil, and chianyi came. i haven't seen chianyi in a long time! she looks the same i think. i wonder if she remembers me. :\ i remember hanging around her and jessie and weiting alot and i was kinda like the younger odd one. that was long ago. i'm sure we're all very different now. =) uncle Ro gave us some funky SUNGLASSES! HAHAHA i will use them to look cool while kayaking or jogging. now i have reasons to go into the sun, HEHEH. 
oh, just now my dad brought P. chantha and his wife susan to our humble abode to ... rest? i was a little zhao ji [that means panicky right?] because this abode was more like a pigsty and i scrambled to tidy it up. they're travelling through SE asia to have a look around and see where God wants them to do stuff. bran was all cuddly. my dad took them out for lunch after a while. =) tim was sleeping, which was too bad. he would have gotten along very well with P. chantha 'cause he's a media guy too.
aza! i have 3 more weeks and 11 paces!
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
tim and i found the secret agents in us. *winks*

today's the day! congrats, alamon family! i know it's really dumb, but I AM SUPER EXCITED. i'm not even blood related to the baby but i'm so excited. on sunday i asked sis. Gema if i could put my hand on her tummy [weird, i know. i'm so thickskinned] and it was like a WATERBALLOOON. she said it was "very heavy", well i'll say! can't imagine carrying that around for 6 months. anyway, thank God the baby and mommy and entire family is fine and bro. Bob didn't faint of happiness or anything. [HAHAR]
my granny takes note of people when she goes to church, and she names them according to their quirks or features. E.G.: s. Gema is the pregnant one, des is the black one, june is the skinny one, and s. suwei is the one with many kids. so one day she asked if the baby was a boy or a girl and i told her it's a girl. she doesn't get the whole scanning and knowing in advance thing so she took my statement as a bet, and she bet it's a boy. [seriously i tried to explain to her that it was confirmed a girl] so today i triumphantly announced to her that the baby was born, and that it was a girl. hahh. now she thinks i'm somehow talented at predicting the genders of unborn babes.
well anyway, i'm gonna go to the hospital later to accompany geil and over-excitedly congratulate everyone. :)
school work's better this week. 12 more paces to go. i see finishing up this year's work as running up hill. it's not fun and it's super tiring but it's quite satisfying.
OH i painted my mommy and it was rainey yesterday. so a huge wind blew through my room and FLONGGG, by foam plate of paint FLEW OUT THE WINDOW LAH. so wasted. i took it as some sign that i wasn't supposed to be painting then and went to read my bible. [LOL]

i am now officially, truly, seriously (etc) stressed with my work because i'm not so confident that i can finish it by november anymore. [!] i think that's why my face is suddenly infested with zits and other weird things. worst of all, i can't really sleep well because my grandmother decided to go nocturnal. =|
went for bible training yesterday. the stuff that was brought up was tricky. geil and i prayed together. =)
Proverbs 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
Proverbs 9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Proverbs 26:12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
the wise man in proverbs is really almost perfect. he does everything right, so he's definitely someone to learn from. the fool, on the other hand, is for us to check ourselves. :D
oh another thing that happened this week is i cleaned out my room and found the hmon* bible cover they gave me and the BRACELET we taught the kids to make according to the wordless book. WAH, i tell you, i was so happy to find those things. they reminded me if the things i should remember from the trip. man, that seems so long ago.

boo! i haven't posted in a while. UMM, on saturday i came home after teens club because i had some backlag test and art projects that i didn't finish in friday. =( but before that jake treated a few of us to lunch. [yay! free meeeeal.]
then on sunday everything was normal. and yesterday after school tim and i went to the wedding rehearsal. i'm supposed to film the behind the scenes section... a good use of my thick skin personality, i guess. it was really draggy, but nobody's to be blamed. and there was another free meeeeal, so, i'm appeased. HAHAA. i hope i got good footage. the lighting was laoya. :\

Proverbs 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
today's the 9th, so i read prov 9. :) i'm still trying to be faithful in Bible reading. EVERYONE READ ALSO OKAY? X)

i spent an hour or so of last night lying in my bunk bed listening helplessly to granny ranting very loudly about her stay at the hospital. she has that habit of sleeping in the day and staying up in the night, and another habit of TALKING TO NOBODY, probably just to get things off her chest. i can't blame her, but i really don't like my panda eyes. so today i'll make sure she stays awake while the sun is shining and get her to talk as much as she can. :) she's talking even now, about her stools. WOW. now she's complaining how the nurses didn't give her food, but that's because you can't eat before a surgery. haha. AIYOH mama ah....
my right ear is infected and it HURTS. I DONO WHY LEH. how how? will i go deaf? will it spread to my brain? :O IS THERE A BUG INSIDE MAKING A NESTT?? *faints*
i want to cut my hair hair. aza!

granny is coming home today. heard her stitching is quite grosse. aggie fact: my feet get tingly when i see bloody stuff or even talk about blood or grosse medical procedures. somehow that's always a hot topic in my house, given that my mom's a nurse and tim's a sci-am reader.
i'm feeling a little fed-up now, but of course i won't spread it out all over my blog. this is why blogs aren't personal to me. you can't really tell the whole story. :\ boo lah.
i have 15 more PACES to go and three more weeks left to do them. add oil add oil.
i don't like my art pace. it keeps telling me to get pictures from magazines, and tim gets mad when i rip pics off his nat geos, so i'm left with -- FRUSTRATION. then no color printer so cannot use pics from the net. GAAAAAAAAAAAHHH !
but it rained today so i'm happy.

granny is in hospital. mommy brought her there yesterday and she was warded to have her OP today, you know, for her arm and all. it's called an angioplasty, topping the list of chim words i know, next to conjunctivitis and the full term for DNA. i wonder how she's doing. old people are people you really can't take forgranted. PRAY FOR HER LEH, as in, pray long long. [hahaha.] hope she can come home soon.
things i have learned from granny:
the peranakan language. HA.
that mind is really over body.
that there are things in life that we just gotta leave to God instead of drop hair over.
that life comes from God
that yellow gold is better than white.
that zambuk heals everything
that a simple faith can make the way much clearer.
that real women don't need drugs while giving birth.
that you can be happy even in alot of pain.
sweet huh? she's one of a kind. remind me to be more patient with her please. X)
went for the rehearsal thing at pemimpin yesterday. took a cab there. got to catch the wonkies and the gohs and LTL too so i passed him his present there. :) jemy waved to meeeee.. and my heart melted, HAHA. they're sweet kids. the onkies too, i mean, the ongsters. tim practiced his filming while i filmed the behind the scenes whatevery thing. i'll do a better job next week i promise. yes, i'm going again next week! maybe we can rush faster so i can catch more people. i was some stand in bridesmaid too so i walked in with the flower girls during the procession practice. i was a fake bridesmaid for a day. :| b.Dan offered us a ride back. end of sunday's activities.
tim asks me every now and then whether i'd get married in a studio. NO LAH. if i get married it would either be in a church or outdoors. i really like the outdoor idea but singapore is so tropical, not a very good idea unless i have alot of money. if i have alot of money, then i'll hire timmy to invent a bubble over singapore so i can air con the whole island, then i can hold my wedding outdoors. i think church is better. or any other very nice building. and i will design my own gown because i hate all those gowns everyone seems to be wearing and designer gowns are too expensive, that is, unless i've gotta lotta money. this is confusing. :\
