BIG BIG NEWS! yes, great news! i've reached my goal! i actually did it!



i can touch my toes. hee~

PRAY FOR GRANNY LEH. the tubey thing in her arm has complications. short explanation: her kidneys failed long ago so she can't expel toxins by peeing so she goes for dialysis where they suck her blood out from her arm, filter it with an imitation kidney, and pump it back in. they fitted a rubber thingy in her arm so they could poke it and sick the blood out from there every time instead of poking her actual vein. the rubber thingy is spoiled [i think] and her arm has a bulbous lump on it now but apparently she can still continue dialysis. she went to SGH just now. her next appointment is this sunday. they may need to replace/repair that thing, which they just did IN JULY or sometime recent like that. anyway granny is kinda clueless and making up her own simpler theories regarding the bulge. most importantly i hope she fights on like always. :) it helps when she's optimistic. she'd be busier fighting with the nurses rather than obsessing with death, like some old people do when they're sick.

sorry, that explanation wasn't exactly short. heh.

Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

it's never fun to get scolded or told off by older people, but sometimes it's worse coming from people our own age. still, if constructive correction is given in love, it's good to remember this verse and swallow it in. on the other hand, if a friend just wants to quarrel with you all the time over silly things, that's a different story. another thing i got from the vesre is that if your so called friend is always patting you on the back saying it's okay when you're not doing right, well then he's actually your enemy.

i kinda realized that those faithful wounds only come about when people are close or know each other very well. like, we never confront hi-bye friends about their faults or wrongdoings. so i think it's safe to say, that verse is a test of true friendship. quote from mommy who quoted someone else," familiarity brings contempt."

aza. fighting!

I WENT TO GEIL'S HOUSE LEH. think the parents wanted to talk about homeschooling, so while they did that, we children just chilled in the rooms. there are like tons of photos there [compared to my house] and we looked at them and talked about them and somehow the conversation topics varied to some totally unrelated stuff. but it was fun. :) and they saved pizza for us! and roy actually SPOKE! haha. X) marc was cute lah, adding salt and pepper in our conversations.

pray for sis. Gema. she's very pregnant!

today bran puked on the sofa and ate it back up. that's good but grosse. and i woke up with a sore throat. =( somebody invent a vaccine for sore throats can?

aye, today was nice. not that other days aren't, just saying...
the message in church was about SINNNNNN. yes i do have some things to work on. =( anyway i went to meet rachel. it's been like what, 3 weeks? in MBC i'd never not seen raye for 3 weeks. now it's normality. sad, but i can't really do anything about it! holidays are coming, so maybe that will bring a change. maybe we can both save some money and have a proper outing where we actually buy things. we got to talk ALOT [to me] about all sorts of stuff. hmong reminiscence was hilarious. we ate at BK and walked around NP for fun, plus it's become our tradition. saw some nice things but i was out of money.
sher is in china still (i think?). don't dare to message her for fear of phone bills, that is, if she's still there.
raye is a nice person. she didn't laugh at me when i sounded weird talking about salvation and stuff. she also remembers everything about hmong [man that was funny.]. she didn't blind me with propelled perfume. <3
oh and i met jieyi and jo too. that was nice. :)

i think i'm going to geil's house later. i think. [YAY. better than staying home.]

been having this feeling like time's passing by SO FAST. it's sunday, then suddenly it's sunday again! i must seriously use my time properly.

thank God two tracting contacts came today! hope they understood what they heard. =) SO ENCOURAGING LAAA.

YATTA !

HAAAAAPPY is aggie today because she got her PAY! made lots of cards and gift tags and put them in a box for my aunt's friend, and today my pay came! so satisfying. :) thank God.

"enjoy the day" is $1.60
"happy birthday" is $1.50

"thanking God for you... and the many ways you share His love"
$2.00 each.

on a painful note, i'm having tummy issues. =(
HAPPY BIRFDAY YL!

found a photo on the net... thought i would paint a guy for a change. noticed the photo looked kind of good, nice bushy eyebrows. tadah, this is the painting.

GAHAHA okay seriously, this is timmy! it's a breakthrough for me because two out of three people recognized it as him right off the bat! dad and tim could tell, but granny couldn't, but she's half blind so she doesn't really count. =D after i told her who it was then she started laughing and staring at it. klarka lah. good good, this will be tim's belated present once it dries. =) his eyes are really big when he takes off his specs.

getting timmy to send me those pictures from yesterday. we had pizza for dinner and ice cream as the cake. [haagen dazs yeah. good stuff.] THEN we, the lee family, went crazy taking family photos. it's our tradition, my birthday, tim's, mom's or dad's. we arrange ourselves in front of that tripod thing and sweat it out and quarrel about lighting. won't post up ALL our pics, just some. :)

confession: i didn't take any photos of pizza dinner. i was busy eating.

:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMMY!

TIMMY! HIS BIRTHDAY IS COMING. it's tomorrow. YAAAAAAAAHH. pizza day, i love pizza. remember to wish him, everybody. :) he's 17! so OLDDD. he even has a mustache. [i just had to say that] hope tomorrow will be a nice day. will post pics. wohoo~

i'm doing a painting according to psalms 126:5. :) hopefully it'll turn out nice so i can give it to someone. but to a very conservative person (art-wise) it'd look strange and maybe scary. anyways, if it doesn't look very nice then i'll just stick it up on my wall along with my other prized works. the verse means alot. maybe i'll frame it up. or give it to my mommy or daddy. using oil paint and i only have the primary colors which i bought from china's carrefour in beijing last year, which consist of red, blue, white, black, and yellow ONLY, like a little kid's paint, not even a green! in other words it's hard to get colors like skin color which i use alot since i paint faces. so, when i've saved up enough money, i'll get a full range of oil paint and some nice canvasses! that is, if i haven't spent it all on clothes or shoes. XD

and i'm totally boring you all out. but IT'S OKAY. haha, i'm crazing out. must be overdose of pimple medication...

Psalms 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

SATURDAY was a full day! i didn't really get to laze around, but i guess that's a good thing! after teens club we had song practice, then lunch, then daph, s.yunli and i went back to church to wait for tracting. ah, tracting. i realised i wasn't the only one who was rusty at it AND excited about it at the same time. really really thank God for everyone who is super-enthusiastic about sharing the gospel with total strangers. when i was younger, i admit, i was very reluctant to go tracting. the way people look at you like you're a fool with blind faith, the doors slamming and worse of all, the questions you can't answer.. i just hated it. but i was a small girl with the wrong perspective about it all. :) maybe now i really see how much people need the truth. plus, i love my tracting buddy whose chinese is superb. HEEHEE.

thank God for not letting my mind go blank once someone opened the door, and for protecting us from ridiculously ferocious dogs who guard the doors, and for helping us not get discouraged when an angry man scolded us and told us to advertise the gospel in the newspaper [??], and for keeping us safe when weird men in boxers opened the door, but most of all, for the contacts we made who were willing to come to church and even accept Christ! people are so filled with their own opinions today that when someone actually accepts Christ, it's like a miracle, a phenomenon. :)
granny is talking to nobody again. LOL..

I FEEL SICK, as in literally. but the thermometer says i'm not, so perhaps it's a psychological thing. =( wah, the weather is so HOT. i'm sweating pints by the minute. =((

i'm such a complain queen...

today my dad went through my english, some stuff he has to mark, and he says my essays were very good! i don't really know if that's true or not though. i must go and check out the standards today. anyway, it occurred to me that i love writing alot, thus i have jotted down JOURNALISM as one of my possibles pursuits, although i don't know a dime's worth about it at all. haha. follow jamie follow jamie! taking WRITING as one of my subjects next year, yes, the whole subject on writing alone, so either i'll like it alot or i'll hate it in the end. i'm crazy. i chose greek as an elective too. just had that same loss of sanity as when i chose french last year. :) maybe i'm overestimating myself. won't die one lah. :D

i realize i'm a coward. i only like doing things i can do very well. if i'm lousy at it then i don't enjoy it. what a flaw.

aiyah it's so hot today lah. when i buy my own house i'll buy a bathtub and aircon! AAAAAAAAAH!

card selling doing well for now. thank God. =)

GRANNY GRANNY. she can't stop talking! but it's okay, i'm not irritated or anything. look! that's her after church asking me to buy rojak.

yesterday i found my favourite blue esprit shirt spotted with black spots because of mixed washing and i was fuming, FUMING mad because people spoke like it was okay and it's just a shirt and i can wear it in the house. * WHAAAAATTTT?!!* if only they said the same thing when i spoiled their stuff that cost quite alot of money. =( anyway, i managed to control my fiery mouth by going somewhere else and pulling my hair out. figure of speech. sighs... guess i'll just hope the colored bleach thing works. HEART PAIN LAAAAA like waste money liddat. i shall not carry on on the subject, it's taking years off my life.

geil made me a huge pink card. THANK YOO LAH. =D
