daddy came straight from somewhere so he was cleaning in like, formal clothing! poor dad.

aggie with NO MAKEUP :O
using the sunlight to my advantage. oh man where did my nose come from.

was our turn to do church-cleaning duty on saturday. i woke up late and was feeling so bloaty and.. bloaty. anyway we got the job done and went for lunch. mom and i went to daiso at SSC after that. thought i'd try out the pore-packs from there cause they're so cheap. they're alright.. just seriously strong pore packs. like skin-rippingly strong. ALOT of trash came out of my face, so.. happy lah. hah. when you see the stuff stuck on the strip you get this shiok feeling in your gut lor. go try for yourself lah. :P

fotos from this week!

blandy! he's so cute i can't stand himmm.

stupid-naughty face.

aha, happy to go home after a long day of visiting. i jumped so many times for this photo.

took this last night. camera-shake! rarrh.

i had another sandwich. it's the cheapest thing there next to cake.^^

korean class was okay yesterday. went to SSC earlier to buy chelsea some super cute PIGGY BEDROOM SLIPPERS.. just nice, she's born in the year of the pig. hah. samuel and i split it half half. i feel like buying the monkey one for myself... :D

came home earlier cause i was feeling SO tired. fighting the flu! =( post-CNY syndrome. FIGHTAAAAANGGGG!!~

EE's birthday is coming soon! i made her card already. heehee.. it's really pretty!

yesterday we went to see mama before heading to my aunt's. it was a last minute thing cause we had to wait for the home to call and inform us that she was back inside. (my uncle brought her out to the beach) so we went and she was happier this time round. =) we're still in a fix as to her return, though. it's quite complicated...

couldn't go see her today cause she had dialysis all the way until evening. went for the ABM visitation. had to miss the last house to go to another aunt's place, stayed there for a few hours, then went to EE olga's place. heard some interesting stories about my dad's family while at his sister's house.. really like a chinese drama! his dad had three wives and his grandfather had more than one too. heard about how the three wives fought and how the siblings took care of each other and stuff. had a good dinner at EE's.. did the chinese salad thing and none of us spoke good chinese (peranakan thing) so we just blurted out whatever wishes or whatever sounded close to the chinese phrases. funny.

face suddenly got 7 pimples popping out at once. (!!!!!!!) a sign that i need to LELAX~

gotta go to SSC to buy something i saw at popular the other day.. then i'll probably go straight to the library and then to KOREAN CLASS! not sure whether to continue taking lessons after the basic course finishes...

HAVE SOME FIGHTING IN YOU EVERYBODY!!!! and have a good week. ^^

gran didn't come back. uncle sent her to old folks' home. =(

we went to see her yesterday. she's doing alright but she was crying because she was so sad. CNY is a big thing for old people so, i guess she hates spending it there. i was trying to imagine being her, being stuck there, waking up there, lying there all day, dying people everywhere, no family, nurses flipping you here and there, stuffing you with food you don't like. for some time yesterday i was really, really mad with the people who had a part in her staying there... just after seeing her so sad. we (my aunt and my family) brought food there to eat with her. so happened my uncle came by (we already told him we were going) and things got a bit messy. that visitation ended on a very sour note and my mom was super upset on the way to reunion dinner after that. after reunion dinner we stopped by my parents' friends' place and then came home at about 1. was almost braindead.

today we're trying to go there after my uncle leaves the home. then we're gonna go to my dad's sis' place for another dinner. i'm not really liking CNY this year.

i shall take a day off today to do a couple of things:
1) care for my sore throat.
2) prepare for mama's possible-but-not-confirmed return.
3) clean up my room
4) draw. i miss drawing so much!

yesterday i had to say bye bye to one of my drawings (aka one of my babies) and i was SO SAD. spent so much time choosing which one to let go of. my dad wanted to submit one in as an extra thing for my art. or something like that. =( *wails*

mama's gonna be discharged and might be coming back today. it all depends on my uncle. i hope she comes back here and not go back to those lousy old folks homes.

i heart sandwich.

that was dinner yesterday before ko-class. it was so big i cut it in half and gave half to a guy called samuel. we met up to cross-refer our compos. chelsea didn't write anything. no time. (we understand, m'dear...) samuel has an eng-ko dictionary (no fair) and he got his ko-friends to proofread/correct his compo (cheat). mine was google translate (also cheat but can be considered independent learning or something). anyways the teacher wrote our works on the board (!!!!!) and corrected them in front of everyone. mine got plenty plenty mistakes ya, embarrassing. for the lesson we learned how to buy things and bargain. nice~

chit chatted a bit at the coffeeshop and went home to watch 2days 1night with timmy! ahaha..

gran is so far so good. well, not good but just stable. at least she's not ripping anything else out of her neck anymore. my parents are seeing her every single day.. they're pretty tired. =(

fighting~!

just came back from hospital. wah, the travelling itself is so draining. gran was in a really BAD state just now but when tim and i got there she was already much better. because the wound on her chest kept bleeding her BP just dropped and my parents thought she wouldn't hold on for long so they called us to go over. before we got there the surgeon stitched up the wound and her BP rose back, so when we reached she was totally different from described. my unpredictable gran.. haha. the weirdest (good weird) thing is that her mind is pretty much normal now. she recognizes everyone and talks sense. just, all of a sudden. thank God. =)

i'm feeling quite tired out now. irritating headache and stuff, rarrh!

so, gran might not have sepsis. (-_-") it's still unsure what she actually has, but it's affecting her brain. she's still in her own world, but at least now she's eating a little and she's overall happier. one thing that's bugging my mom is how fearful she is of everything. anyways, thanks to all the lovely people who've been keeping her in prayer and showing concern and stuff. thanks alot! =) oh, for those who didn't hear, my granma yanked out the dialysis tube thing that was implanted in her neck.. dunno why she did that but there was blood all over according to my parents. i saw some blood splattered on the wall when i got there. i think she bled alot. tsk tsk. later she didn't even know what she did and she said someone else pulled it out. poor mama. so that's how she is now.

another school week is starting AAAH. on top of that i still have to figure out how to write the 2 paragraph compo for our korean assignment thing. the title-- MY DREAM (ambition). gaha~

a quick post before i continue my schoolwork. gran hasn't been doing well these few days. suffering from sepsis now.. she's in SGH. she's gone bersek, so she's just talking nonsense and she's in her own world.. doesn't recognize anyone at all. very weak too.

parents going through a hard time trying to work things out with my uncle and coping with gran's situation. their health isn't good either. mommy took mc and went to the polyclinic yesterday. daddy just can't seem to get well from that flu that began a few weeks ago! dad's immunity system isn't strong anymore...
age. what a bugger.

back to school now. aza!

some random pictures of 2009 stuff so far. lost the blogging momentum.. must start posting regularly again. tsk. hereyago~

korean dictation. it's the third dictation i think. looook the guy who marked my paper wrote one "hao" down there so cute!

bran bran sitting on my schoolbooks. timmy put him on the table cause he was mopping the floor. ha.

lunch with des and jamie. :D

after our eye check. daddy zoning out because of the light.

mama at SGH.

MRT lighting is pretty good leh. makes your skin glow. how come both my parents got big eyes but mine came out so tiny?? they both got double-eyelids somemore. rrrrh~ gaga my lohan yu forehead is emerging again.

mama at old folks' home. she is an artist. face art. i am her apprentice.

this was last year! geil's birthdayyyy. she accompanied me for like an hour after that cause i had to kill time. aw, thanks hun.

that card is obviously for you. aha.

wah, been doing work for hours and hours. hoping to keep this pace up throughout the year. today the o-ppl got their results right? sher was so sweet to call me up lah. she's going to some jc this year.. just like everyone my age. makes me fired up to finish my ACE so i can m-o-v-e o-n. i'm taking a different route from her. she's going to jc, then poly, cause she wants the jc poly life. i wanna go to uni straight.. no interest in taking a longer route. haha. so typical, we've had this difference since we were small! anyway, we were just laughing about it yesterday at the park. it's so so strange, this growing-up-talking-about-the-past-we're-both-big-now feeling. :) aza! maybe in 10 years time one of us might be married or something. AAAAAAAAH!!! LOL. future freaky.

i feel like this year is going to be very serious for me, since i'm aiming to finish up homeschooling. like all the things people have said about whether or not i'll make it in the future getting into uni's and blending in.. all boils down to this year or the next. to some extent it feels like i have alot to prove, but i guess i shouldn't care about that right? study for God.

it feels good to have body and age slowly merge together too, if you know what i mean. like when i was 13 people used to think i was 16, when i was 14 they thought i was 18. now i look just about right. *big smile* i am 16 going on 17. ah old old hahaha.

fighting!~

nowadays the bat/bats are frequent visitors in our kitchen. there was also a wasp building its house in MY WADROBE. (!!!) daddy broke the house up and we found many spiders and bugs that the wasp stored for its babies. felt bad for the wasp, but who told him to build his nest there?! hah.

tim went for his root canal today to get all the bad stuff out of his gums. he looks fine now.

yesterday there was a new student in korean class, and i think he's from china so he had a bit of an accent. on the way back home while talking to him i discovered that he used ACE too. (!!!!!) small world moment lah! three cheers for homeschooling~

came back and watched 2days 1night with tim while eating supper. it-was-so-funny ! we were laughing like madd. perfect de-stress show. 2DAYS 1NIGHT jjang!

this week has been brain-draining and i think my life is getting shorter and shorter. (it's fine with me. i don't really wanna live that long.) i got the full load of my 8 subjects this week and it's no fun at all. =( rarrh~

the whole family went to the eye center early this morning for daddy and me to get our eyes checked. i have to wear my dad's specs now to see close cause the eyedrops they gave me for the tests make my pupils dilate, and the effect lasts for about 2 days! my eyes are pretty sensitive too. in aggie-terms, my eye muscles are paralysed and they can't focus.. due to the drops.

after our checkup we went to visit mama, then mom and i went to SSC! was really, really zoned out cause i couldn't see properly. i hope it'll go away by the time i wake up tomorrow.

i look like daddyyyyy. HAHARR.

HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRR.
welcome, 2009!

the year started alright for me. not very enjoyable, or enjoyable at all for that matter, but oh well.

went for watchnight after the korean lesson. learned about seasons and tenses. :) the mentally disabled lady wanted to sit beside me, so i bo bian. before the lesson started chelsea and i were trying to revise and the lady kept telling me about some doctor who fell in love with her. (???) right. rushed off right after class and had to stand the whole train ride. dunno why there were ALOT of foreign workers in the train.. some alight more board. my head was throbbing in the train... felt horrible. (i got the fluuuu~) reached church around 1020. =)

yesterday wasn't a very nice day so i shan't talk about it.

oh yah, gran is in hospital again for fever. =( please pray for her. dunno what God has in mind for her.

last day of the year, everybody! going for watchnight after korean class later. (raye's not going. roar!) still kinda sick with the cough and stuff.. sighs. my throat feels horrible.

have a good end to 2008 everyone. =) fighting!

today was the last day of choir singing. thank God, it went alright. :) my korean teacher came too. (LOL) i think i forgot to tell everyone that he is very young. they sorta expected an older person, so they got a little bit of a shock. um, he's just my teacher. just a teacher! thanks to everyone too who were so friendly and warm towards him. it's good to have such a warm church family. ^^ he followed us all the way to the beach to see kenny's baptism. (congratulations to kenny!)

after the baptism we dropped son seng nim at yishun MRT and came home to change up and leave for my aunt's house. the dinner there was fantastico~ there was even a korean dish... felt like it was just for moi. hah. came home after a cozy christmas dinner.

my tummy isn't feeling very good now. oh yah, thank God so much that tim's gum is almost totally back to normal, no more deformed beaver! now there's just his viral infection/ fungus thing to deal with. tsk tsk.

last night there was a bat flying in our living room AGAIN. goodness, bat... i freaked out and it flew away eventually.

tim's really suffering now cause he has a huge infection in his gum and he looks like a deformed beaver, or some marsupial with a very protruding mouth. went to the dents and she was quite worried for him, made him take an xray and gave him some strong combination antibiotics and strong painkillers. i think he couldn't sleep last night because of the pain, so my mom gave him double dose of painkillers. if the anitibotics don't help then he has to go under the knife! drainage lah. drain all the pus out. ackk~ he looks really weird now. looks like i punched him or something.

on top of all that his fungus this is totally getting worse. poor timmy.

i found them! the laughing-fit photos! RAWR! i think they really couldn't help it. off tune people can sound realllllly funny. here is the story in a nutshell:

daddy lost his voice. bro. richie didn't know the tune to the song. daddy sang fireworks (think of the sound fireworks make) and bro richie followed. too funny, couldn't take it, burst out in laughter, couldn't stop, spread to me, stopped singing. switched places with mommy and began our special all over. they laughed, mommy laughed, DISASTER and everyone in front laughing at us also.

sighhhhh.

i realise i look skinnnnny in these pics, eh?

just came back from the polyclinic. tim, dad and i went together at around 2, finished around 4. tim got his body fungus checked out and daddy and i got our referral letters to the eye center. dad needs that glaucoma check that tim went for last time and i need to get a specialist's opinion of my eye.. spasms. i think i told some of you already, my eyes suddenly dart all over when i'm concentrating sometimes, just for a split second. i sorta got used to it so i continue with whatever i'm doing (usually drawing or writing) but when mommy heard about it she really wanted me to go for a check. i also have this ringing in my ear pretty often and i think my eyesight has deteriorated, so, to the eye center! i hope it's nothing serious, like some brain problem or something. =|

after school i had lunch with birthday girl geil yesterday. =) pretty disastrous, but it's the effort that made it sweet. heh. went to swensens for ice cream after eating. yummay!

reached jurong early and went to the library to revise with raye. our korean is slowly improving, slowly. left for class at 6. the teacher told us to go early for extra lesson time but in the end he was late so we waited and waited. at least now we've 'bonded' with the other students and alot of the ice is broken. the lesson went on alright, but there's this older lady in our class that's mentally disabled in some way, and she kept interrupting the teacher. anyway, we had our first dictation too. (whoooo so exciting luh.) i did alright. hah.
took the train back with this girl called chelsea and the teacher again. found out the teacher has a few jobs here? or something like that. his teaching us is like an on-the-side thing. he is very very shy. he's so shy that he didn't dare to sit beside me, he just stood right in front of the seat until i told him to just sit down. am i scary? lol. nevermind don't answer. we talked about dok boki until he reached yew tee, leaving me to my long and lonesome ride.

end of wednesday. brain tired.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEIL !! whooo~ today is your day!

see you later! sorry i can't find the advertisement! will continue searching for it.

jajjang~! revised korean with miss raye again today. managed to bank some useful phrases into our vocab list. will try to put them to use with each other. we went to the jap foodcourt after buying our in-food -- dok boki! we realized that asian food is super healthy, especially her bento set. rice, salmon, egg tofu, and long beans. who could grow fat on that kind of food?! go asia. :)

geil's birthday is technically tomorrow since it's past 12. whooooo~ haaaaaapy birthday to you, ah cannot sing yet! kekekeke.

came back from our 5-day church camp yesterday. the camp was good, themed waiting on God. =)

suffering from some fungus now.. all over my thighs. horrible feeling. as long as it doesn't spread to my face i'll be fine. =|

met up with ray to revise our korean and eat dok buki! some spicy rice cake street food. ^^ racheol fighting~!

ah my brain's tired.

tomorrow's the last day of VBS whaaaaaaaaa! i always get the feeling of missing the children when it comes to an end. hope they remember the lessons. :) i love the kindies, inspite of the tantrums and whining.

the jingle took off too, thank God. i was afraid it would be a total disaster and that it was too wordy and difficult, but phew~. ^^ the skits we prepared were so good! but the performance today especially was, soso. hahah. still, today in the toilet one kid yelled from inside a cubicle, captain agnes the show was so nice leh the show was so nice! wah, i almost cried lah. little responses like that from the kids are so moving. :) jaaaaamie you should have heard the way she said it man.

*tune*
we are the sailors in God's navy
we have His treasure
#1 is the Bible where we learn about God
#2 is Jesus Who died for us
#3 is the power to live for Christ!
*tune*

aza aza fightiiiiiiiiiiiing~!!

today was the first day of VBS and WAHHHHHHH, it's draining. i really like my class. thank God they were good today.

yesterday was the second korean class. the people in our class are pretty cold and anti-bonding except a nice few. managed to make some friends by being thickskinned and talking first. got to take MRT with the teacher and some other korean teachers too (so cool lahhhh~) and asked alot of questions, more about the teacher than the korean. my teacher (son seng nim) only studied english for about 2 months lah! *jaw drops* in two months, i must be as good in korean as he is in english.

=) fighting!

i just made the boat and puzzles and tails for tomorrow's VBS day. the boat has things to hang the paddles on, very very cute. keke~

super super sad to miss ko class next week because camp starts on tuesdayyyyyy ahhhhhhh~ ! money fly away. the lesson looks more difficult. tsk. will try to meet up with raye raye on monday to practice talking and maybe go to that sol-mart in novena. =) monnndayyyy come soooonnnn.

i think it's about time i blogged the old news. i'm not working on the book anymore.

SO
DI
SA
PP
OI
NT
ED.

turns out after adrain met with the publisher he realized the book needed alot more work than he'd thought, and i can't afford to give all my time and effort to it so i dropped out. sighs.

there are some problems with gran's housing too. mom and uncle really not on good terms now. complicated.

vbs is coming! rarrh~ went to bugis with jamie on monday to buy our art stuff. made some really cute props for our kindies class! =) i think she's coming over today to rehearse what we planned for the kids.

oh oh another thing is korean lessons started! last week, yes so happy lah. today's the second lesson. so glad i'm learning with miss raye. but hor, the teacher pronounces my name as ag-er-nes. =( might just change it so it's easier for him and less embarrassing for me. T.T"

fighting!

just came back from seeing gran at the dialysis center. she lost alot of weight. 10kg? she's skinny. the first thing she wailed when she saw me was.." i diarrhea diarrhea!!" =( poor gran.

other than that she was pretty cheerful. bought carrot cake for her since she wanted it. probably will go see her again on saturday. i have the feeling her time is limited.

fighting~

the book and my schoolwork are keeping me busy, thus the absence of new posts. (soz!) so far, i've drawn the second draft for the pictures. gonna pass it to adrian tomorrow so he can show it to the publisher. we're still trying to get the book out by december. yeow~

thank God, korean classes start next week. it got shifted back cause the teacher's schedule got messed up. so i don't have one more thing to clog my mind up-- yet. now there's VBS to plan for too, so, my brain is tired.

goodnight. rarr i'm hungry.

i can't sleep so i decided to blog some poems that i find nice. :D Poems help me fall asleep.

What Can The Dying Man Do?
What can the dying man do for himself?
In the form of a bill, in the shape of a coin.
All he has worked for cannot mend his health;
He has spent his life toiling, only to die.
His family and loved ones he all pushed aside;
He gave up what mattered for money, for pride.
But silver nor gold no power doth hold
When it comes to the wrath of God.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Hard Road
Everybody's leaving; the world is in dismay.
Still I am a'cleaving to this Bible, to this way.
Friends bid me farewell as I continue down this road.
Sometimes as I watch them pass I feel this heavy load--

Load of sadness, load of angst.
I know I should be giving thanks.
It's so hard to bear this load, to walk this road.
Like that man of constant sorrow,
I wonder if that bright tomorrow
Will ever come, will ever be.

Yes, God said it
And I believe.
---------------------------------------------
-Untitled-
Long are the days when people cry
Far are the roads that people trudge
Loud are the whispers of a sigh
Bound are the ones who hold a grudge
Things we have done and can't undo
Hold our minds in stern regret
Wishing we'd thought it through and through
Daring not let ourselves forget
-------------------------------------------
Oh Souls Around Me
O Sad Soul,
Rejoice evermore.
You are awaiting
For the heaven's more
That was promised you
In the Old Book of Faith.
Gather your patience,
Just a while more wait.

O Doubtful Soul,
Childlike heart all up-grown.
Now for all things
Evidence must be shown.
And if there is none,
Then you will not believe.
To earthly logic
You hang and you cleave.

O Weary soul,
Is this race far too long?
Can't but look back
At the times you were strong.
Out is the fire
That once burned in your eyes.
Winded and wounded,
Know God hears your cries.
---------------------------------------
Upon This Train
Today upon this train i sit
Awaiting when i shall return
To my dear husband, 'ma, and kid
And tell them all what I have learned

Upon this train I sing my song
And wonder at the echo's ring
For this train ride must be so long
And I'll be bored if i don't sing

I met some people, kind but grave
Who feared the train would never reach
I could not stand their panicked state
So I got the Reverend to stand and preach

I write to you, dear ones at home
With pen in hand and tear in eye
I miss you so, oh you must know
That you are in this heart of mine

And if I die upon this train
Then I state: I have no regret
For God's own Son for me was slain
And on dear Jesus my mind is set

-----------------------------------------

the last one is kinda sweet isn't it? can imagine that lady in the train writing. it's a little funny too, the panicked state part.

goodnightey~

RARRRH this month is gonna be exciting. hokay, i wasn't sure whether or not i could spill the beans but adrian said i could --- ADRIAN'S WRITING A KIDS' BOOK! and i'm the illustrator wahhhhh! he's doing it for a project and i get a feeling it's some personal milestone thing too, but anyways, it's too exciting! we're taking it really seriously, it HAS to go through. it should be published in december! just came back from our first meeting where we discussed the shape of the book, tones, drawings, settings, ages, layouts, message of the story, etc. i'm really smiling right now, really. art is the only thing i can be stressed out and happy about at the same time.

now, i have to draw like siao.
5 more days to korean class. asalabeeya~!

the title is
A Very Old Stone
or is it The Very Old Stone..
adrian !

saturday was a little happier than usual for me. after teens club i met up with raye at jurong to SIGN UP FOR KOREAN CLASS AHHHHH! we went to the wrong block first (due to her bad memory) but we managed find the school easily after that. timmy lent me his card to pay first, so brotherly right? anyway, raye and i were on the moon. we've been waiting for this year end for so long. thank God it's working out! i hope i don't mess this opportunity up. =|

after talking for a while she went for job training and i went home. end of happy day. ^^

on sunday nobody sat beside me *CRIES*. geil come back now~! during lunch i was sitting with aunties janet and alice. i think i became an aunty for a while there. geil come back now~!

geil came by our place after i finished my schoolwork yesterday, since we didn't have a proper farewell on sunday. she left this morning for the phils, and i'll only see her IN DECEMBER ACKK~ have a good trip, girl.

after geil left we went to SGH to see gran, and surprisingly she looks much better! (than when she was admitted.) she still can't breathe well but she was stitting up and eating and fairly happy. thank God. :) for those who don't know what's going on with her, um, i think her heart is very weak and she's retaining alot of water which is pressing against her lungs ...... or something like that. anyways, her body is getting weaker every week. she may look livelier on some days but it's only fact that her organs can't really get better from here on.

aza~

HAPPY BIRFDAY GERLYNN DID I SPELL YOUR NAME RIGHT ?
heh~

wasn't really in a blogging mood last week so i didn't post anything up. very brief description of the week:
on monday we all went to the peranakan museum. found out it was open house time now so free free! took quite alot of pics there but they're all with tim.
mom and i went to IMM daiso on tuesday but got a call while shopping halfway saying gran was admitted to GH again because she couldn't breathe. mom and dad rushed down and tim and i went home. (tim and dad were somewhere else in jurong.) dad bought a wheelchair from cash converters for gran so tim and i had to bring that back.
i spent wednesday to friday being down with stomach flu, which i passed on to tim. the end!

my tummy's still in bad shape now. having gastritis (pain!). mom says it happens sometimes after stomach flu because the germs are attacking the stomach wall. she simplifies everything for me. keehee~

AZA AZA FIGHTING!!!!

many people were sniffing and coughing at church today. it's in the air people, take care of yerselves!

went to BV to see gran after lunch just now with my family and EE. EE bought KFC since gran's mad about chicken. when we got there we realized the center DOES NOT SERVE MEAT cause it's founded by a buddhist guy or something. we just brought her down in a wheelchair quietly and let her eat anyway. ;D the place is alright and gran was in a fantastically talkative mood. will post pics when i get them.

GET WELL QUICK GEIL. hope you'll feel better soon. check the envelope when you recover okay?

yesterday EE brought me to a PERANAKAN PLAY which was so so so cool i'm seriously loving having peranakan blood in me now. gah! it was funny and gave a thorough picture of our culture. they spoke in peranakan so i only understood 50% of it but there were subs projected too. acting wasn't fantastic but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. the songs were so cute! i thought of my gran when i heard the songs cause she sings just like that. my EE and mom tell me that my grandpa was a part of that association and used to act and sing in the plays too. too bad i didn't get to watch. if i get to go to melaka i'll save for a baju kebaya of my own. heehee.. :D

relaking with rice face mask on. rejuvinationnnnn~

gran has moved into brightvision rehab! thank God, it's nearer than that other st. andrews place (which rejected her.) :) she has a month there so i hope she gets back on her feet during that time, so we can take care of her at home after that. we all went to see her during the week, bringing chicken soup and rojak. she looked great that day. ^^ go mama!



loving the rain now.. it's like the aircon we never had! oh, daddy's gonna let me shop for art stuff next week. i'm zooming in on oil painting. also returning the 6hr (!!!!) dvd CH lent me. watched it in double speed. heh, cheat.

sunnyday evening's vienna boys choir concert! i give them four out of five stars. :) the singing was fantastic, but some arrangements were a bit disappointing, especially 'arirang', since i like that song so much. anyway, photo! yes, one only. didn't really get to take any since we left quite quickly.

TIM IS EIGHTEEEEN. had a pizza celebration at e2 olga's house on saturday. cozy! :) he likes my present alot. =D i let him open it the day before so he could wear it on his birthday. i think he's been wearing it for three days straight. ew.

saturday started with teens club at sembawang park. had the lesson and played captain's ball, then went to sun plaza to eat. i think we went there mainly for the aircon. i shared beef rice with geil. went for choir and headed home to bathe and have dinner at my aunt's.
before going back to church for choir s.yunli, geil and i went to the thrift shop near church to take a peek. it's really mysterious there cause of the many rooms and two cute old people tending to the place. quite alot of old stuff there. saw this pair of leather shoes that had potential so i tried them on and they were a perfecto fit! and i have adopted them. KEEHEE.. ^^ couldn't let them rot there all alone, and the price was really good. s.yunli and geil were laughing at me cause i was browsing through other items with the shoes on in the shop. my inner karung guni came out as i dug through all the clothes and bags.. rarh! but i didn't buy anything else. after choir i brought the shoes back, cleaned them up and put leather conditioner on them.

$3 ! are you kidding me?

thrift shop jjang lah, jjang!

this weekend i also finished up the drawing for mommy. taza!

looks like the baby's playing rock paper scissors right? LOL.

getting back to making cards since my aunt and sher want some. :D i'm looking out for good stickers, no kind in particular, to make cards with.

drew a picture just now and i'm giving it to mommy! i know i don't usually post up drawings on this blog, but i really like this one. i saw it on a nat geo cover while i was looking for pics for my schoolwork. in case it's not figure-outable, it's a picture of a mom lying down with her baby in her arms. sweet huh? you know how i usually settle with imagining the hair so as not to waste pencil lead? well, i had to draw the hair for this one. couldn't bear leaving the mom botak. :) as you can see, it's not finished yet.

the baby is SO HARD TO DRAW. puffy eyes and folded skin all over! but he's SO CUTE TOO.


aza!

MY PRECIOUS PRINTED HOODIE WAS STAINED BEYOND REPAIR BY A RED BAG I WORE AHH I'M SO ANGRY AT THE.. BAG !

*freaks and bangs head on wall then proceeds to throw away bad bag*

it's my only printed hoodie, c'mon. :(
i'm so wary of red bags now.

gran just must make a funny face when i take her photo! went to see her on saturday morning. shan't elaborate, but according to mommy she looks better than on previous days cause that day she was her chatty self again. saw her wound cause gran insisted i took a look at it while the nurse was doing dressing. good thing mom described it to me beforehand a few days back so i was mentally prepared. it isn't as bad as i thought, but it is grosse. it's like meat after you stuff it, and you sew it up with wide stitches diagonally, only thing her arm's flatter now that the junk inside's been removed. the neck tube's been moved to her chest too. oh, gran you strong old soul!

i think the monsoon season has finally arrived! tim began his army training today. daddy's making sure he gets real tired. (evil laugh) but it's good that tim's willing to go through daddy's exhausting schedule, so at least daddy doesn't have to force him. wah, i see them exercise i also feel like joining lor! gahaha. i was telling tim it wouldn't be such a bad thing if we switched duties.. he studied and i worked out. he thought so too. :D

OH LOVELY RAIN! i like, i like!

timmy was a sweety today and gave us a treat at toa payoh! LALALA i am there when there is a treat you know me~ it's not like he's very rich but he still wanted to share some love. thanks timmy, i feel so...... full. HAHAH.

this picture is titled: agnes is crazy. yeah, i kinda overloaded on the salad.

better eat your money's worth, tim.

see, all greens. guiltless meal. ^^

moi plate.

i'm so happy for you timon, says the plate.

and i couldn't leave brannie out so i came home and took a picture with him. keke.

end of happy tuesday.

if i got it right, gran went for the op to put back the dialysis thing in her arm last night. poor gran has gotta put up with one thing after another. :\

tim finishes work at KK today! woots~ now it's exercise exercise exercise until he goes crazy. i did note to my daddy to bring his inhaler along. safety first. *winks* i MAY join them while they workout, definitely not in the mornings but in the night. heh heh. my family is noticing my spare tire(s). :O

i was thinking about how i always regret not making my parents put me in a ballet class, and i think it was actually a good thing they didn't. if i did start feeding the interest i'd be having a hard time stopping it now because I LOVE BALLET SO MUCH. so i guess it was a good thing they didn't let me dance. yes when i was a kiddy i wanted to be a ballerina, you din know right right? hah. imagine agnes in a tutu.

today we sang that sky high song, but i sang the alto part since i have an uncooperative throat. UMM, we could've used more time to practice the alto part lah, but OH WELL what to do? we'll just do better for the next song. :) although i can't help but wince when i think about it. i don't think we sounded nice! but anyway that's just my opinion, and like bro. bob says, it's the heart that counts since we're singing for God. i hope God liked it. :\

after church, had lunch and went home with timmy. oh, and the pizza i blogged about the other day wasn't from him? i dunno, heard later that my dad bought it. confusion.

i think something's wrong with my head, i've been having headaches alot more these days. you know the kind where, if you move your head it feels like there's a metal ball inside rolling around and hitting the sides of your skull? maybe i have some tumor inside, or maybe i'm just plain paranoid. :D

ahhh, it's the lovely weekends. this week went by pretty fast, maybe because of that holiday in the middle. :)

this sunday we're gonna sing a really difficult song, and i really don't know if we can, but oh well. please don't be mad at me if i lipsynch some parts because i CANNOT HIT THE NOTES! nope, can't. tried and failed. eh-heh. :\ gonna practice tomorrow. we'll see how it goes.

have a nice weekend everybody. aza!

gran is still pretty down, according to mommy. tried to talk to her on the phone yesterday, but HAHA she couldn't hear very well even though i was shouting my lungs out. she only caught the vowels so she pushed the phone back to my mom saying i was talking nonsense. -_-"
she must be so sian in hospital for so long. :(

anyway i thought i'd elaborate on what geil and i did yesterday. i went to popular after lunch to get the vouchers for jeremiah. her parents went home to ZZZ but geil stayed with me. after a while we found ourselves at the DICTIONARY section (!!!). no lah we not so studious lah, i was looking for an english-korean dictionary and geil was mesmerized with all things french. well, not all things, now that i think about it, just the language, heh. so we stood there for a long time reading those phrase books for tourists and trying to pronounce the phrases. XD funnay. bought wrapping paper for her mom and headed to the house.

waited for her parents but they were real tired, so geil and i went to the party first. the end.

oh, and popular doesn't even have english-korean dictionaries?? pfft. got thai, jap, german, french, no korean. *_*

the baptisms and birthday celebration went really well! today, jeremiah, ed, and uncle ro. became part of our church OFFICIALLE. =) three cheers to them~

was pretty tired and i had a nagging headache so i knocked out just now.

some pics i ripped off the abm webb. was browsing through the pics.. funnyness.

me being teacherly and policewomanly. the small girl is totally looking up to me. ack i feel old! look i got the ah mah hair.

the way they wore their sashes so style lah! that's me mummified. for the record, i love waterbombs.

people peaceful why you come and disturb? HUH?

YOU SPLASH ME?!

RAWRR, my fury unleashed. funny, it doesn't look very painful. jake's just smiling.

apple crumble. my manna.
how embarrassed can i be right? it's just a picture..
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKK ! the deal is, i lent tim low that phone, and i left some pics behind which i SHOULD HAVE DELETED. *hammers forehead with fist*
------------------------------------------------------
