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.

tim and i found the secret agents in us. *winks*

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.

BABY PHOTOSSS. everybody, here is the cutest baby i've ever seen, next to timmy when he was a baby. this is geselle. *clapclapclap* she is loud and has a full head of hair. don't mess around with this girl! i took this pic when we went to visit the alamons the day she was born. the happy daddy. his face was beaming in real life. :)

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 working hard. =) taking a break now. my weekend was kind of strange and sad but the new week so far has been good. sometimes in the midst of unpleasant things i really wonder what God has planned or purposed. it's confusing too, not knowing if it's trials or some punishment.
aza!

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 went out with mommy today, to AMK hub. we haven't been out together like that for a long time. my shopping stamina has gone down, surprisingly. it was nice. :) thanks mommy.

i'm STILL making cards, so if anybody wants some just sms me. ;)

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. :\

work time! byebyebye.

why doesn't anyone like this kind of design? empire cut, NICE WHAT. lol.

three pretty cards for sale! i'll probably use them up if they don't sell. :(
going for $6 altogether. they've got jewels on them leh.
the yellow yellow part is the floor, not a part of the card.
"just to say..."

"happy birthday. may beautiful things come your way"

"sometimes a simple thank you seems to say it best."

i wonder how granny is.

once again it's friday [not that you don't already know] and the week has just, whizzzed by me [i don't like that.] i really really wish saturdays were longer so i could do stuff with my parents, esp my mommy. the weekends are so filled it's kinda frustrating [to me lah.] *big big :( face* on sundays she has to take care of granny after church and by the time lunch is over, it's like 2.30.
i don like i don liiiike. :|

anyway, weekdays are super mundane for me. trying to finish off my school work for the year asap so i can have holidays, but the problem is that i'm a lazy person. HAHA, no lah, these few weeks have been good. i'm working hard! to the point i'm sitting down so much i've grown a huge belly. [i have to present some kind of proof..] :D BASHIAAAAA!!!

hey peepol tag leh. last time got alot of people tag how come now nobody tag one? if you visit my bloggie then TAG! it will somehow make me happier. ahem. :)

I FOUND MY SCRAPBOOOOOOOK [good thing] ! look lah, this is us and uncle samuel. =D he was our super good friend and we used to stay over at his place for fun. haven't seen him in uh, A FEW YEARS. that's kinda sad huh? oh wait, i saw him. but we didn't really talk or anything. oh well! i don't think he reads my blog. if you are then HULLO! [don't know what else to say]

oh man~ look at timmy.

okay, geil, this is proof that i really looked like you in time past,
only thing i had small slitty eyes. -_-"

cute huh? this is why i want a didi.this is also why i wanna didi.

i was a stunted kid with stubby limbs. amazing.

AT SENTOSAAAAAA.

everyone mistook me for a boy. and tim was a greedy baby.

tim and my mom's dad, gong gong. tim's cakes
are always fancier than mine, pfft...

THE END LAH. X)
