tadah, lee family excluding our 24/7 camera boy. i like the color of the sky. guess where we were. BOTTLE TREE! nice to walk there, it's super clean. :)

yesterday my daddy went with tim and me for SG. usually after singing and sharing and stuff we all number off and split up into two groups to study a verse from proverbs, and then come back together and one representative from each group will share what they learned. so we numbered off and tim, me and my dad ended up as one group. -_-" bJohnny said it's family devotions. lol. THEN actually i didn't have a problem with the arrangement lah, but bJohnny asked jacob to switch place with tim? so my group, in the end, was -- daddy, jacob, jery, jireh, me. nice.. :) so, bJohnny was talking to my daddy about the meaning of a word in the verse when i heard this rumbling, funny sound coming from beside me. i thought it was jacob's stomach la, so i asked him what that sound was. then he explained," i'm growling."

??!
was that my queue to start meowing? lols. SCARY LA.
everyone prayed abit and went homesweethome. dee and.

now doing all my designing LAST MINUTE. got the songbook cover to design? jieyi's stuff to draw, and i'm helping sis. Suwei draw something too. my table is really messy and full of paint from ... two days ago. :| I DON LIKE CLEANING UPP!

bran keeps peeing in my room. something's wrong with him. yesterday he didn't wanna pee, and now he's doing it in my room. some crazy bladder problem. SIGHS..

aza aza! fighting!!

DIDN'T meet my MBCian sisters today. :( one got sth on and one put her phone on silent. lols.

gonna make my IC tomorroh! so exciting right? RIGHT, have to travel so far and pay $10.
oh, and my eyebags are getting huger and huger! i need MEDICAL help.

i think my voice is coming back! heee, i have a 24hr pianist at home to help me. aza!

alright, goodnight, sleep, um.. well. why do people say sleep tight? it's uncomfortable to sleep tight in singapore, it's too hot.

OKAY, i'm doing a survey. please tag how old i look to you. then i'll average it out, because ... i'm bored. :)

oh, and today i didn't like how my sleeves looked cause they were too weirdly puffy, so i sewed them anyhow, and they turned out seriously funny looking and UNEVEN. but cannot really tell lah, nowadays the fashion so abstract one.

OKOK seriously goodnight. :|

had teens club today. didn't really read the passage for the quiz, so our team didn't really do as well as usual, but it's okay. :) practiced some songs and went for lunch.

my lips are seriously cracked and peeling and OUCH-FUL. pain like what lah. :( boohoooooo ...

everyone knows i haven't sung properly [as in, for specials in church] for a long long time. my voice kinda ... broke? like i can't hit the high notes anymore and it's SAD. i want my voice back. i sound like a crow now. lalalaAAKKKKAAAGHHH cough cough cough. WHY LIDDAT?? anyway, evangelistic meetings coming up soon and bJohnny suggested i started conditioning my voice back to sing with the teens and stuff. i will! i will do scales everyday and drink H2O like a maniac to get my good voice back. i love you, my neighbours who are putting up with me.

AZA AZA fighting! [someone wrote that in my birthday card?!]

the weather is crazy crazy. one moment it's baking hot and the next it's raining. on a happy happy note, i got my birthday card from my MBC family yesterday! :)) ah, miss y'all soso much. and the earrings from clara are beyootiful. THANKS AH. hee...

recently there've been lots of down people, down physically and spiritually. :( everywhere i turn [in church la] there are people going through all sorts of stuff, unpleasant stuff. press on, people. aza aza! God's promises don't fail. i myself am trying to keep faithful in.. the faith. [okayy that sounded stupid.] really lar. it's like running a marathon, although many people treat the christian life like a sprint. it's easier to run a marathon when you see people you know beside you, encouraging you, pressing on with you. but when they start to fall away or lag behind you feel less motivated and a whole lot more lonely. still, is that a valid excuse to stop running? who am i really running this marathon for? where do i get my strength from? am i getting it from myself, or from the Source that never fails? every once in a while i find myself needing to go back to these questions to get me back in the right state of mind. sometimes i have lots of 'biblical head knowledge', but if i don't believe what i know, what good is it to my soul? i want to believe God's promises. they keep me steadfast in a crazy world. :)

i should write a book EH? hahahaha. lor soh me.
OEI musketeers, lunch this sunday ah!

OHOH i watched some hmong vids today.. short segments that timmy still has. AH MEMORIESS LUH~ me and my fringe. me raye sher making a hoohah in the backest back seat. i wanna go back...

randomly, aggie the lampost.

two days ago my family, excluding my working mum, and my aunt's family went to celebrate my cousin's birthday. [cousin=aunt's son.] had dinner at swensenss! *beams* ate till my tummy almost exploded with ice cream and fish and chips and yummy yummy stuff. :) three waitresses came with the ice cream cake and they sang this super-en2 happy birthday song really really loud to my 24 year old cousin who was, i suspect, also very embarrassed at the time.

happy birfday to yoo, happy birfday to yoo, happy birfday my dear frennn, happy birfday to yoo.

then at the end they added, repeating the tune of the last line,

WELCUMM TO SWENSENS. *smile smile act sincere walk away.*

so that was benben's birthday dinner.

THEN when i came home and attempted to bathe, there was a grosse creature lurking in the bathroom, ambushing me. i already 'tuo' everything lah, then closed the shower screen, but as i slid it shut this noisy brown shelled THING came swooping into the shower room.
"YAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!" <-- me.
"DADDYYYYY DADDYYYY BEETLEEEEEE!!!!!" <-- super freaked out me.
*takes old laundry and flings it at ugly beetle* MISSED, and it flies again, to my dismay! bo bian, wrap a huge towel around and run out twitching and swiping hoping the beetle wasn't ON me. so my dad caught the beetle despite his longsightedness and threw it out the window. GUESS WHAT? IT FLEW BACK INN. like, what're the chances of that happening right? my daddy throw got 'li' one leh, how he fly back in?! so i [who was watching] freaked out again and got my dad to catch it again, and this time i made him KILL IT. he plucked out the head and i bathed successfully.

dee and. so drama huh? grinns.

Proverbs 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

read proverbs 19 just now and thought this verse was super applicable to me. many times i think i know so much, or i think i know what's right and wrong, or i think there is no right and wrong. i can think whatever i want, but ultimately only what God says is true and will prevail. there's no running away from God's standard, as a christian. you either fight it and struggle, or you yield and obey slowly, and enjoy God's promises and blessings.

the ground and steadfastness you can find in the bible is so assuring in the midst of this crazy, everchanging world.

lala. i sound so spiritual. =| BREAKFAST HERE I COME!
aza aza is a secret, joanna.

after church today, all of us went to sembawang park to wittness the baptism of a lady called sis. jocelyn. she and her husband have joined abm, one by baptism and one by transfer. cool huh. =)

the weather is seriously against me.

bye birthday, hello school.

how did the teens conference go yesterday? i shall briefly summarize the order of events.

timmy went real early while i woke up late and awaited bJohnny's transport. he called and said,"taxi's here!" and i felt abit bad, haha, that his van was kinda like my FREE taxi. thanks to bJohnny for painstakingly fetching people here and there! anyway, he fetched me and sis. yunli and went to telipok, where we met timmy and jacob, whom timmy dragged there early. daphne brought a bunch of friends, two guys and a girl, and jieyi brought caifa. hao chuan & ying liang came later. bJohnny planned 6 mini-lessons, each about 30-45 mins with breaks in between, all about one central theme -- the next step. lots of teens are going into new schools and institutions OR the army, so this conference was catered to that need. everyone was going through a transition except -- me. well, i was turning 15 lah, does tt count? [haha] so in between lessons we all got to talk abit. during one break, bJohnny had to go out and buy fishballs so some of us made salad for the dinner later and played uno. then the final two lessons started again when bJohnny returned. in between the final two lessons mr. tianlong told me he was coming for a while, so i met him at SSC to make sure he didn't get lost. he gave me a book for my birthday. =) after the last lesson he and another girl left and the rest of us stayed on for the dinner and prayer meeting and BBQ to come. we played uno until dinner, ate dinner, and the prayer meeting started. the message for the prayed meeting was from psalm 90, the birthday chapter, and my name was frequently mentioned. [but i don't mind. :)] prayed with jieyi about some things bothering us. :) aunty janet came with lucky and gave me presents from herself and tim. i got --- a decorative piece and a box of design pencils! [yayyayyay] i got cards and a necklace from the tans too! the cake cutting process was done during the BBQ and we all went home after a long longg day.

I HAVE NO PICS so anybody who does, pleeese send them to me.

sis. yunli also gave me a very early present a few weeks ago ... a bracelet. :)

photos from thursday, courtesy of timmy. THANK YOO, EVERYONE WHO MADE ME SMILE. keeheehee.

lovelay cake.

lovelay cake top view.

the press.

YAY!

i don't have pics of the last few days but i'll post them up when i get them FROM TIMMY. today i opened my present from mommy and daddy and timmy and it was ... a wallet! =) just what i need. it was a set from carlo rino, wallet and keypurse. YAY.

now gonna head on for the teens conference. i've a feeling i'm dressed too formally? but it's fine with me. *heehee*. today is my official, actual, real birthday day. i'll be 15 when it hits 1 o'clock. 15! thank God for so many years.

NOW I CAN MAKE IC! MUAHAHAHAHA. like finally...

BIRTHDAY DINNER FOR ME on wednesday was okay. :) i guess it was just sweet to get together with my aunt and some cousins and ... eat. heh, BUT the food wasn't really good at all and neither was the service. timmy says no naming of the place, so. ASK ME WHEN YOU SEE MEE. anyways, liddat lor. still okay lah, there was the procession of lighting the cake, singing the song and wishing and blowing. it's always funny when the song's being sung and you totally don't know what facial expression to make and the candle light's just blinding you out and you're awkward -- but still kinda happy. happens to me all the time when people sing the birthday song to me. heehee. got really full-bloated and went home.

TOODAY is thursday. well actually it's 12.30 so it's friday, but. met up with my raye and sher to just ... spend time together? met sher first and we circled causeway abit, then FINALLY met miss. lateness and scalled causeway only to end up at the neoprint shop. :) buggered around there for a while and come out with TOTALLY STUPID LOOKING PICS which are so top secret to me now. paiseh lahhh, argh! on the bright side, bad photos make things more memorable. if only i owned my own neoprint shop with no countdown things that make your hands jitter and spasm about. so after lamenting over the pics, we went down to meet big bro JX and had dinner. i was totally paranoid the whole day about people organizing surprises and stuff. came home with the group to find a cake sitting on my dining table, from sweet sher and JX, and of course made partially by sis. Suwei lah. :) sand the song and did the whole thing, then jieyi came. they stayed around abit and then JX left, then the girls left after some chatting and chicken nuggets.

thanks to mommy and daddy and timmy for the present i haven't opened yet!
thanks to E-E for the dinner and ang pao!
thanks to sis. Suwei and JX and sher for the awesome cake!
thanks to raye for the taiwanese present!
thanks to jieyi for my art stuff!

yayyyyy. happy birthday to me. saeng-il chuk-ah ham-ni-daaaa.

had dinner at my dad's sister's place on monday, no special occasion. it's rare we have dinners there. actually i think it's the first time. anyways, i guess it was a good time of just being together and eating whatever we wanted. [hehhh.] pics for yooo~

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

that verse was in my devotions today. :)

wasn't feeling very well at church today. :( don't try and speculate. anyways, after the services jieyi, esther and i started updating the photo board with kayaking photos. we went for lunch and tadah, i'm home. i think everyone hates the heat, and it's making me feel like.. i'm melting. march is here, alright. march is always hot.

aza aza nomatter what!

THANK GOD THE TOILET IS FIXED. story -->initially it was funny, like not flushing properly, but i thought it would still flush if i pushed the flush more times. so i did a super smelly bomb [excuse frankness.] and realized-- CANNOT FLUSH. so i closed the lid [heee.] and told my mom. she told tim and tim said in the morning it flushed non stop so he turned off the mains [to my relief.]. anyway now it's working properly and my lethal weapon has been flushed. mission accomplished.

i have no idea how i wanna celebrate my day of birth! how? HOW? it's on friday and my mom starts work [night shift] on thursday. so we either gotta celebrate with dinner on wednesday, with lunch on thursday, or with breakfast on friday. funny right? asians like to celebrate with meals mah, and ang mohs also what, actually? bleh bleh. we'll see lah. okay, the list of things i WOULD LIKE.

any pair of white footwear from charles and keith [size 6.. or 7. which one ah?]
any clothes that look 'me'. OH i need tees. :)
sketchbooks. stationary of sorts. anything you think an artist could use. OIL PAINT AND CANVASES! my dream gift is a humongous bag of stationary, fyi.
hairbands of all kinds. big small thick thin bright bling.
nice sports bag. this one expensive lah, but i don't have one leh.
sports cap. i don't have one either. i lost my only cap while kayaking, SAD RIGHT?
don't give me bracelets or chocolates.
don't give me alarm clocks, they'll end up being smashed.
AH! cereal, those not so healthy ones like fruit loops and honey stars and coco crunch. i will make good use of those. MUAHAHA.

that's all-- all the things i would really like. :D

and if you don't get me anything QWENCHANA [it's alright.] :) just wish me! or get me vouchers HAHAHAHAHAHA. kidding. gah i sound so greedy.

hava great week and don't spatter me with eggs and flour when you see me. what goes around comes around. *evil faceeee.*

got sick of stupid blogskin problems so i shall just use blogger's templates for the time being. :)

i shall talk about FUJI, the dog we found on tuesday. well, my mom and aunt found him lah, in the middle of the road downstairs acting all dumb like he'd never seen a car before. so they brought him to the void deck and then up to my house. [my aunt's an animal lover too. she has 6 cats and a dog staying at her house. just a point of information, hee.] he had a collar but no ID, so we just called him boy. he's a shetland sheepdog [like a smaller lassie], male, young, and quite obese. he is also SUPER DUPER friendly and nice and obedient and a BOTTOMLESS PIT when it comes to food. funny dog lah, makes you laugh and laugh. BUT, mr. bran got really depressed after a while. it's his character, jealous, self-victimizing and antisocial. my dad scouted around to find posters for lost dogs and tried to get the dog to find his house to no avail. so fuji slept over, and in the morning he gave us all a huge present. clue=it's big and brown. DINO-POOP. i was still asleep so i didn't see it, HAHA. but my mom and dad did and they freaked out. [takes time to lol.] anyway, my dad took him down again and this time he led my dad to a house and started turning round and round and getting all excited, so my dad slipped a note under the door with his contact and stuff. soon a lady called and identified the breed of the dog. she picked him up and brought him home. *sad face.* bye bye fujii. the owner was kinda gonna give us a reward but she didn't upright give it to us, she kinda asked if we wanted it, so my dad and mom said it was okay and we were just thinking for the animal. so, bran is back to normal and life goes on. pics for yooo..

HULALALA, teens club is on today. there's the Mark 9-16 quiz, and i'm reading it NOW. tsk tsk, last minute aggie? *slapslap*

yesterday i was gonna bathe when i saw this huge red ant in the bathroom. how'd it get in? one ant means a nest right?? those kinds of ants can only be found, like in fields leh. howhowhow?!
imagining myself brushing my teeth one morning and suddenly being overwhelmed by a sea of ants that ... AMBUSHED ME. why? revenge! i killed that ant i saw yesterday. :|
