haha. okay. this one is a bit back dated...
cooked hainan chicken rice in march when i had so friends over...
lol. this one is the short-cut one.
sauce condiments, stock, etc etc all from prima taste! heh.

ok, so after boiling chicken for 45 mins,

had to cool it in ice water!!

rice, in chicken stock about to be cooked!

hainan chicken!! :)
lol. my chopping skills arent that fantastic lar huh...

ta-da!!
end product!! :)

the next one is more recent.

hmm. in fact, i think i only made it last week! hah.

as it's winter (COLD!!!), decided to make something nice and warm!!

hence, i made potato & corn & mushroom chowder!!

here are the ingredients...
i just realised that the main ingredient is milk!
lol. very healthy. :)

and when everything's in the pot...

frying the ham...

and all ready to be served!! :)

it was quite good, if i do say so myself.

haha.

i have found my new comfort food!! :)

LOVES!

haha. okay. last one! this one i made today! :)

it's garlic chicken noodles! lol. so asian.

once again, the ingredients...

haha. forced van to eat capsicum!

she isnt a big fan of them.

but too bad!! lol. :)

and after frying, etc etc,

ta-da!!

doesnt look that nice,

but it does taste good!! :)

lol.

but as van says, it's very capsicumy!

lol! i did go overboard with them.

cause they were starting to rot. haha. opps.

haha. i've learned how to u-turn, go around round abouts (WHICH I HATE), and etc etc!
but other than that, it's been good.
my instructor is lovely too. very patient. heh. :)

part of conversation just now with mum:

van: HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA.

fishing trip!!!

2010-04-27T22:53:00.002+09:30

haha. recently i seem to be going through a fishing craze!!
which is super weird cause i use to hate fishing,
and laughed at people who did cause it was such a boring thing to do!
but now... hmm. i actually can understand why people fish!
the excitement and exhilaration when you catch something,
and the disappointment and all when you dont...
i actually woke up at 4.30am yesterday to go fishing with a few church friends!!
SHOCKING. I KNOW.
i've got like fishing kakis now. LOL.
they came to get me at like 5.30 am.
i was barely awake... well. neither were they. :)
so we drove to Noarlunga, which is about an hour away.
and we fished. or at least tried to.
the first 2 spots we went to was just sad. nothing. not even a bite.
but our last destination was brighton beach and we managed to catch some fishes there!!
haha. but they were too small and we had to return them back to the ocean. :)
so eventhough we didnt get to bring back anything,
i had a wonderful time! :)
and well, i never thought i'd say this,
but i LIKE fishing!

updates...

2010-04-23T18:05:00.003+09:30

haha. wahh. one term just flew past like that! :)

and well, i'm at the end of my holidays too!!

so the first week was spent in my assignment,

though i did cycle to the beach with some of the youths from church!

it was a 6 hour round trip- including lunch and breaks.

BUT IT WAS PAINFUL. the next day my butt hurt so much it was ridiculous, and my whole body was just sore!

but it was worth it. :)

and then on wednesday a group of us went to victor harbour!

haha. just a 2 day get away. :)

there were 7 of us, and it was heaps fun!

cindy, lydia and i reached at about 11am.

the rest came at about dinner time.

so we went to granite island where we just walked about.

and apparently, climbed trees. :)

after dinner, we went night fishing!!

AND!!! I CAUGHT A FISH!!! :)

haha. feeling pleased with myself.

by the time we went to bed it was 1am!

but, 4 of us woke up at 6am to go cockling!

apparently, cockles are one of the best baits around!

so here we are, on goolwa beach, cockling. :)

in the afternoon, we just lazed about on hindmarsh island.

we were so tired that all 7 of us just 'collapsed' under a shady tree and slept for an hour!

haha. it really was a getaway.

oh well. this was just at the pier we visited.

and then, we went to hallet cove (another beach) before heading home.

i was so tired i went to bed at 10.30 and woke up at 10 this morning. heh. :)

holidays mah. :)

OH. and guess what??

i took my driving theory test today.

and i PASSED! :)

WOOTS.

all in a day's work.

ELAINE! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!! :)

2010-03-29T21:47:00.002+10:30

haha. just got back from dinner with my grandparents and uncle and aunty and cousins!
they're here cause my uncle is graduating tmr with a phd!!
how cool is that?! haha. :)
well, it was a good dinner and good time together as well!
:) it just feels weird seeing my grandparents and relatives here in adelaide.
haha. ALMOST feels as if we're back home in singapore...
oh and thanks daddy and mummy for the little packages!! :)
LOVE YOU GUYS HEAPS!!! :D
haha. okay. back to studies. gotta test coming up on wednesday and assignments due on thurs!
and then, it's easter camp from friday-sunday!! woots!

2010-03-14T15:20:00.002+10:30

woah. it's been 2 weeks. since i got back.
quite a few events, but just didnt have the time to write down my thoughts. or in this case, type. hah.
1) well, to all a levelers: i thank God for all your results!! :) dont fret! He has a plan for your life!! trust Him! (i'm sure you've heard this so many times, so i shant nag any further! >.<)
2) we (YAF) had a fantastic day at the beach on the 6th! God really, REALLY answers prayer!! before that, on wed, when we checked the weather forecast, it was forecasted to rain on sat! like for the WHOLE day!! and so, we PRAYED! and guess what? on saturday, there was not a rain cloud in sight! it was nice and sunny! a little tad windy, but still! no rain! oh, and the games were fun, the food was good, everything worked to plan! God is GOOD!!!
3) i'm starting to feel okay about my course now. i mean, before this week, i was totally freaking out, cause it's like year 2 uni, workload is mad, so many assignments/tests and exams. i was feeling so overwhelmed. but now, i'm feeling alright. doesnt feel that bad. it's like "meh. i'll get through it." haha. well. with God that is. :)
4) I TAUGHT MY FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS TODAY!!!! i'm a sunday school teacher for the toddlers class!! haha. today's lesson was: God loves me! haha. and well, it wasnt too bad. :) i think it went quite alright, thank God! children really are precious gifts from God. :)

I'M 19!!!!

2010-02-22T01:29:00.005+10:30

haha! i'm FINALLY 19!!!

and visiting of my grand aunts,

went home for a family celebration!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THIS LOVELY PREZZIE!!!

haha. the crazy things we do....

time flies.

2010-02-21T00:38:00.001+10:30

where did all the time go?!
i think it gets harder every year to leave singapore and go back to adelaide.
sigh.

randomness...

2010-02-19T16:06:00.002+10:30

while walking at bedok reservoir with my family...

mum: where do you all wanna go tomorrow?
van & i: ehhh.
dad: we go Omnitheater lar!
van & i: wah. that's random!
dad: huh? Now showing 'Random'?!
van and i: -.-'''

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

2010-02-16T19:26:00.002+10:30

i love my chinese new years...
not only cause of the ang baos lar!
but also cause i get to see my cousins!!
we see each other once a year,
cause they're all in malaysia!
this year was no different!
so there we were! all 29 of us!
we even had to break up into little 'shifts' to eat our reunion dinner!
:) haha. it was really a good 4 days.
just lots of eating, laughing and just relaxing.
away from all the technology and city life.
haha. yes. i spent 4 days in a kampong.
along with chickens, cows and goats.
BUT, i wouldnt have it any other way! :)

happiness is...

2010-02-05T21:08:00.002+10:30

- spending time with loved ones.
- being able to spend time thinking, reading and praying.
- when your baking comes out the way you want it to. =)
- having a good hair day! =D
- not having to worry about studying!!! WAHAHAHA.
- waking up to a BEAUTIFUL day. :)

haha. simple pleasures. :)
really thank God for every single moment He has given me to spend time with my family and friends. :)
haha. time flies!! 3 weeks left! :(

2010-02-02T19:33:00.002+10:30

well. trip to the dentist was alright....
not exactly pleasant, but bearable.
got tummy aches cause i was stressing out over it...
burned a hole in daddy's pocket...
BUT on the bright side,
i have a toothy, white smile to last me the year!

my teeth.

2010-01-31T23:06:00.002+10:30

ughh. the dreaded annual dental check-up is tomorrow!!
=( i simply DETEST going to the dentist!!!
it brings to mind my painful past experiences AND that EVIL dentist in primary school,
who seemed to thrive on our every squirm and whimpers of pain!
sigh. well. ready or not, here i come!

bleah.

2010-01-27T13:01:00.002+10:30

yesterday was very painful. =(
started with a sorethroat when i woke up.
then the migraine seeped in at noon.
after which was followed by tummy cramps at 1.
and the feelings of nausea came flooding after.
and so i slept the whole day away.
well. at least i tried to.
and viola! i feel much better today!! =D
though i still feel tired and grumpy... >.<
maybe i should give today's activities a miss...
=(

baking experiment 3 (22/01)

2010-01-24T19:56:00.003+10:30

okay. this time, it's chocolate cheesecake brownie!!!
ingredients!!!

the brownie batter...

the cheesecake batter!!

mixed together, and ready to bake!!

and tada!!! =)

a cheesecake brownie/cake type thing!

learn something new everyday...

2010-01-21T13:50:00.006+10:30

hmm. yesterday i realised something about myself.
i need space. lots of it.
and no, i dont mean physically! -.-'''
but in friendships or relationships. that kind of space.
i cant survive if everyone starts crowding into my life, asking me many questions.
it scares me and at the same time suffocates me.
i'm not the person who is able to pour out my whole heart to the world.
i'm not the kind to be able to carry long conversations for days.
i just am not capable of doing that.
i try, but i struggle so much, i get annoyed with myself.
sometimes i say one thing and people think i mean another.
most of the times, i just have nothing to say!!
so i just keep quiet.
but then that leads to much misunderstanding...
i guess that's why i kinda lost it last night.
and to the person involved, i'm sorry.
i may not be the perfect person, and i dont want to be one, but at least i'm real. 100%

baking experiment 2!

2010-01-20T23:35:00.004+10:30

okay. so today's aim was this: double chocolate cookies!!
well, first to gather the ingredients...

after much mixing and stirring,

they're FINALLY ready to be put into the oven!!

and here's the result!!!

well. i think they look happy!! =D

happy baking!!

2010-01-11T21:35:00.003+10:30

well, what's baking without a good recipe??

updates.

2009-12-28T23:30:00.002+10:30

haha. it has been AGES since i last updated. my bad. heh.
but it has been a busy month!
first up was children's camp, which was tiring, but enjoyable.
and seeing so many young hearts wanting to learn more about God made it all the more worth it.
then came youth camp, which was VERY insightful.
though it was different, it was definitely a fruitful one and it cleared many of my questions/doubts on friendships as well as relationships. haha.
then was a short kukup trip, in which was a good time of fellowship and eating!!
haha. and i learned to play SO many new games lar. it was totally hilarious.
then i had a family trip to cameron highlands. the hotel was so-so but the time spent with family and relatives was priceless. definitely had a GREAT time. =)
and now? it's been a month after a got back from australia. *gasp*
TIME FLIES TOO FAST!!!! =(

i really need to stop being so naive. it's time to grow up.

HOME SWEET HOME. =D

2009-11-27T16:24:00.002+10:30

yay. happiness.

definitely couldnt have done it without Him.
=) thank you Lord!!!

POINT OF CLARIFICATION: VAN AND I WILL BE BACK FOR CAMPS!!! -.-'''

seeking to know His goodness.

2009-10-17T22:22:00.002+10:30

started the day off wonderfully with a good devotion today.
it was basically about waiting on the Lord and i found it speaking directly to me.
many a times we set our hearts solely on God's blessings,
often wondering why it takes so long for it to come or whether it will come at all.
it isnt that God wants us to be left stranded, only able to depend on ourself.
no! He wants to manifest His goodness in us!
and for this reason, He often holds them back so that He is able to get our total adoration, our total love.
not only when we receive the gift or blessing,
but even while waiting for it to come, even when it never comes.
just to show us that He is worth the wait.
and to enable us to be able to wait continually on the Lord. not just in times of need. but as a habit, as a desire to do so.
what we really need is more OF God and NOT needing something more THAN God.
like what Jim Berg said, God is MORE than enough for me.

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul who seeks Him.
Lamentations 3:25

countdowns.

2009-10-11T14:52:00.002+10:30

hmm. getting a bit bored and well, stressed.
so let's come up with a count down list!
get some motivation of sorts! =)

3 weeks till to EO 'test' and the dateline of 5 psychology essays.
4 weeks of uni left.
4 weeks till my 2 week study break. during which, 3 assignments are due.
7 weeks till my exam.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

HMM. STRESSED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

term break.

2009-10-05T16:57:00.002+10:30

my two weeks term break just flew past like that!! =(
it wasnt what i would call a holiday because i had sooooo many assignments due DURING the two weeks, it was just so bleah.
but i holidayed for one day- today. it's labour day here. =D
i have never spent so much time in uni during my hols before.
-.-''' but i must say, being in uni makes me do my work.
hah. how sad.
oh well, but i did do fun stuff too!
like going to harbour town with van (got a pair of jeans for like $10!!!), eating ikea meatballs, photoshoot of sorts, friend's birthday party, dim sum with church people & hiking (today), VERY fun gym lessons :) and just lots of baking...
uni starts again tmr- sobs.
but after 5 more weeks of uni, study break and then exam!!
haha! only one exam- 23rd nov.
but 1 test, 1 presentation and 4 assignments are due.
no complaints from me though.
because all of the assignments are workbook tasks that have to be completed each week...
sigh.
it's october. means its spend lots of money month.
because of a certain SOMEBODY...
=P

eh?

2009-09-17T15:11:00.001+09:30

does anyone have any idea how to remove the joke link from the skin??

jason and tab's wedding!

2009-09-15T18:11:00.005+09:30

well, this is gonna be a photo post.
it was the wedding of a church couple over the weekend.
it was so beautiful and well, i'll just let the pictures do the talking.
:)

after church wedding with the beautiful bride! with the lovely couple!

our failed attempt of looking cool...

our 'pensive' look...

silly faces...

our failed jump shot.

*my dress was flying, hence my pose.*

girls...

with musical min yen!

girls again.....

with vanny!!

with mayboo, a VERY funny friend.

our act cool pose.

ROYAL ADELAIDE SHOW!!!

2009-09-10T23:35:00.003+09:30

once again, i went to the royal adelaide show!!
=D haha. i spent so much money on the show bags and carnival food- again!
LOL. totally enjoyed myself! the food, the animals, the shows, the rides & the fireworks!!
TOTALLY LOVE THEM!!! =D
too bad i couldnt have gone on the last day- saturday. =(
but still! it was still enjoyable!
but now, back to my books...
assignments due soon.
sigh. yup. it's THAT time of the term again. =(

loving OT

2009-08-20T18:13:00.002+09:30

haha. just completed my placement at The Memorial Hospital- Rehabilitation.
and i must say, i am really glad i took OT.
seeing what the OTs do in action,
seeing how they applied what i learned in uni is really cool!
now after seeing what i 'can' do in the future,
it's motivating me even more!
through the week, i've seen many cases,
and i've learnt to be more grateful,
more compassionate, more loving and even more giving.
'though i am only one person, i believe i can make a difference.'
haha. my supervisor's belief.
and a good one at that i think!
one thing i cannot get my head around- politics.
but then again, which workplace doesnt have it?

thank God for the path He has led me too. =)
He really knows what's best for me! =D

why?

2009-08-20T17:57:00.008+09:30

many questions still unanswered.
many doubts still present.
i guess it's still quite hard to accept the fact that some of your friends are no longer there.
maybe it's just self denial.
or unbelief even.
and that just because people believe in different things and are no longer near each other, your non-christian friends have different beliefs ! and you're still friends with them!
they distance themselves and pretend that the friendship never existed?
the irony of it! isnt God meant to be love?
i still ask myself why things ended like that,
and it still bewilders me.

Lord, You promised comfort when i am distressed,
You promised hope when i am giving up,
You promised strength when i am weak,
You promised faith when i am unbelieving.
Lord, i need all that and so much more.
Lord, You give grace to the humble.
teach me to be humble.

placement!!

2009-08-14T17:14:00.002+09:30

haha. so exciting!! going on my first placement next week!!
it's at a neuro and ortheopedic rehab hospital!!
so i'll be able to meet people with stuff like stroke, hip replacements, alzhemirs (dont know how to spell that...) and fractures! sounds real exciting!!
i cant wait!! one whole week at that place!!
FINALLY get to sees OTs at work in Australia!!

on another note, today's lecture was a complete waste of time.
spent 45 mins learning how to wash my hands,
why i should wash my hands and when to wash my hands.
-.-'''

good times over

2009-08-08T15:36:00.001+09:30

awww. both dad and mom have gone back to singapore.
back to my books!
i miss them already!!
i wanna go home. =(

mega chat!

2009-07-25T22:34:00.002+09:30

haha. wow. last night was amazing!
12-15 of us, primary school mates (most of whom have not spoken for 5 years) were all chatting away in one HUGE convo on msn!
IT WAS CRAZILY FUN!!!
it all began because 2 girls wanted to organise a combined get together for 5 classes.
and then they added us with the intention of asking if we would be interested,
in the end, we never did answer that question!
we were all talking about everything but!
and i didnt get to crawl into bed until 4 am.
amazingly, i survived today on 4 hours sleep!- working bee (church clean up), old folk's home visitation and attended an acrobatic performance!
thank God! He gave me the strength.
on normal days, i probably wouldnt have been able to open my eyes i think.
ohh. daddy and mommy are coming over SOON!
SO EXCITING!!!!!!

RESULTS.

2009-07-21T19:29:00.002+09:30

haha. finally got back my first semester's uni results.
and i am HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!
haha. got 1 HD, 1 D & 2 Cs.
GPA of 5.66 (is this good of bad? van wasnt of much use. her ans was 'i dunno GPA'. -.-''')
but anyway, praise the Lord!
it wasnt say my smoothest semester,
but i am PLEASED with the results God has given me.
*BIG, SILLY GRIN.*
and oh, van and i are officially gym members. haha.
surprising? haha. we decided that it was time to get into shape.
lol. >.<
the lessons are fantastic and the trainers are wonderful!
the only thing that i hate is the muscle aches.
but i guess the saying is true,
no pain, no gain!

Let's Go Fly a Kite From Mary Poppins

2009-07-12T23:21:00.001+09:30

With tuppence for paper and strings

You can have your own set of wings

With your feet on the ground

You're a bird in a flight

With your fist holding tight

To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh! Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite!

When you send it flyin' up there

All at once you're lighter than air

You can dance on the breeze

Over 'ouses and trees

With your first 'olding tight

To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh!Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Let's go fly a kite!

my poor green cup cracked yst night.
i was making green tea and when i poured the hot water in,
i heard a sickening 'pop' sound.
i checked my cup and true enough,
there was a huge crack from top to bottom and it was leaking.
BLEAH.
on another note, i am truely tired after a week at VBS!!
but i felt that it was time well spent.
listening to missionary stories and messages about the Lord's prayer.
one thing i like about listening to messages meant for children is that it's simple.
it highlights the plain truths that we sometimes tend to overlook.

secrets... secrets...

2009-07-02T23:22:00.002+09:30

ever had that overwhelming feeling??
when you hold many secrets, both yours and other people's...
you worry if they will keep your secrets or blurt them out.
you worry if you can keep their secrets or you will blurt them out.
or when you hear something unexpected that kinda cuts your heart.
especially when it concerns someone close.
but what else can you do?
i mean sure, you can just hope for the best,
but will that give you rest?
i find it just so hard to leave it all to God,
cuz all you can do then is pray.
and it's not in our human nature to willingly do that.
we want to be in control.
we want to be able to say: 'I changed the outcome. I did something good.'
the big, fat I.
boy, it's just so hard to swallow that bit of human pride,
and learn to let God take control.
i'm still learning to do so. still struggling to do so.

Its Me O Lord Standing In The Need Of Prayer

Chorus:

It's me, it's me, oh Lord

Standing in the need of prayer;

It's me, it's me, oh Lord

Standing in the need of prayer.

Not my mother, not my father

But it's me, oh Lord

Standing in the need of prayer.

Chorus

Not my brother, not my sister

But it's me, oh Lord

Standing in the need of prayer.

Chorus

(just an excerpt)

work work work...

2009-07-01T10:52:00.002+09:30

well, into my second week of work!! =)
and i must say, i'm really enjoying myself!!
the people there are very nice and they make me laugh so much! >.<
this week, i have been 'upgraded' to be allowed to take orders...
i always get so nervous and scared when i do so...
so scared that i write the wrong order,
or even worse, collect the wrong amount of money!
according to me lady boss, 'collect more, it's ok. collect less, not ok!'
bleah. just my luck.
i've been memorising the menu for a week now,
and when i do it at home, it's alright.
but once i take orders, my mind goes blank!
BLEAH.
on a side note,
apparently, the people there find me hilarious cuz i'm soft spoken.
>.<

>.< haha. well, my exam is over (saturday) and now,
all that is left is one assignment due this week (which is why i'm in uni...)

i think i've made good progress today...

haha. which is why i'm 'rewarding' myself with a little distraction. =)

AND. i've got a job!!

it's a waiteressing job and it goes from 12pm-3pm.

i really hope i get the job... >.<

erm, let me get back to you after i finish reading the manual! heh.

WOOHOO!

2009-06-19T11:52:00.002+09:30

2009-06-16T23:01:00.003+09:30

well. one assignment and one exam down.
one more exam and one more assignment to go.
cant wait for the 26th of june!!!
that's when i hand up my assignment and start my holidays!!
though i ddo plan to finish that up before the 26th...
haha, we'll see how it goes...

well, this is how my room looks like now...

just a LITTLE messy.

haha, mum, please dont kill me!

haha. and this is my green trackies.
i got it for one dollar!!

i've managed to switch my placement time!!

it's now in mid august!!
YAY!!!
Praise God!! was praying for this outcome... =)

little ponders.

2009-06-13T17:27:00.002+09:30

hmm, ot has been really demanding this last few weeks,
not that i'm complaining, i really love what i'm doing now!
it's just that with all the assignments and exams coming up,
it's just really scary and busy.
it's like VROOM! and another day is gone!
with everything being in your face,
it's really hard to be disciplined and get what you need to do, done.
and with everything piling up, it's just so easy to lose focus.
so easy to put God aside and say, "wait God, these things are more important."
that's scary.
i need to manage my time better and learn to trust in Him more.
when trials come and threaten to swallow you whole,
it's then you have to trust that God is in control.

pain...

2009-06-12T18:06:00.002+09:30

irony in your face

2009-04-08T20:08:00.002+09:30

saw something i thought was ironic today...
this guy was walking infront of me,
he was smoking.
when he was done with it,
he threw the cigarette butt away and....
started jogging (exercising)!!
i nearly laughed at him right there and then!
why do people do such things??
why?

australia!!

2009-03-29T23:51:00.002+10:30

my aunt's dog
snowboarding days

melb train station.

AWWWW

uni life

2009-03-24T19:27:00.002+10:30

haha. one thing i LOVE about uni is the holidays (about 6 months in total!)
and the fact that whenever our lectures or tutorials end early, we get to go home! (which is about 99% of the time!)

update!

2009-03-17T17:13:00.002+10:30

haha. okay, i havent blogged for AGES!
sorry yeah! but i have nothing to blog about lei.
being australia isnt very exciting.
i mean, i just live normally lor...
haha. okay, but today, i've got something to say!
WE DISSECTED A KANGAROO'S SHOULDER IN HUMAN ANATOMY CLASS TODAY!!!!
it was an EXTREMELY DISGUSTING AND SMELLY experience!!
i mean seriously! there was still blood, and oh, the smell...
it stank to the high heavens!!!
thank goodness i didnt have lunch before that!
if not i would probably have vomited all over the place!
but that aside, it was a cool experience- in a sick kinda way.
ughh....
that will probably put me off anything resembling what i did just now for quite some time...
*turns green*

eventful week over!

2009-02-26T20:58:00.003+10:30

okay, sorry for the lack of updates...
been pretty busy this week with orientation...
but since today is the last day... =D
i think the more i learn about OT,
the happier i am about chosing to do this course!
well, basically, there are 75 of us.
7 of them are males. so if you do the math, 68 are females.
the ratio is like 10:1!!
oh and only 4 of us are 'true asians',
the rest have grown up in australia!
i spend on average about 14 hours a week in uni,
and the rest is study time!
oh oh oh! and the best part is that i only have 1 exam in july!!
cuz my other 3 subjects are assignment based!
WAHAHA. oh and there is something cool/gross about the anatomy course i'm doing!
we get to dissect a kangaroo's shoulder!
but the lesson isnt compulsory! which is good news for me!!
because i dont think my stomach can take it...
>.<

my 18th birthday...

2009-02-21T23:38:00.003+10:30

ok, so i'm 18 today.

actually, when i woke up today,

i forgot that it was my birthday.

then, sis lydia called me.

haha. i then realised that it was the 21st today.
=) oh well, i was still pretty groggy when i woke up at 12.30 pm. >.>
well, 18... dont really feel like it.

i still feel... well, like a kid.

haha, i will grow up soon lar.

just not for now...

out goes my candles. goodnight world.

i detests dentist vists!!!

2009-02-17T19:23:00.002+10:30

hurr, today has re-inforced the reason why i dont like dentists.
hurr hurr. i cant eat hard food for the next 24 hours.
blah. my mouth is sore.
i wanna sleep it off. =X

less than a week

2009-02-15T00:34:00.003+10:30

in less than a week, i'll be gone.
off to adelaide again...
a part of me cant bear to leave,
esp since there's so much to be done,
and there's family and friends,
and yet there is a part of me that just wants
to go back and just leave all the nonsense behind.
well, i guess you cant have the best of both worlds hey?

Handle it with Prayer

2009-02-10T01:50:00.001+10:30

When trouble overwhelms our hearts,

There's hope for our despair,

For we can cope with confidence,

If we handle it with prayer.

When gladness overflows our souls,

It's something we should share;

We show our praise and gratitude,

If we handle it with prayer.

- Jill Wolf

prayer moves the hand of God?

2009-02-09T02:19:00.001+10:30

well, one thing i've certainly learnt is that...
prayer changes things.
it may be the environment,
the people involved,
the situation,
and what nots.
but most importantly,
prayer changes me.

student attachment.

2009-02-05T23:11:00.002+10:30

so my two day attachment with changi general hospital has come to an end.
and i must say, it was a real eye-opener.
i truly enjoyed myself and i have learned much from it.
okay, i also have a better understanding to what an occupational therapist does.
i can actually see myself in that role,
and my interest has been deepened!
hmmm. i think i'm beginning to see why God placed me OT.

baking experiment 2!

2009-02-02T20:33:00.004+10:30

okay, i made Rich Chocolate Layer Cake! haha. it was fun!!
and the cake tasted good!!
if i do say so myself. lol!

these are the ingredients!!
the process of mixing...
this is my new toy!!! =D

and tada! the final product!

Lord. hear me

2009-02-02T01:03:00.000+10:30

Lord, the struggles within are too much to bear.
help me please.

i thought wrong.

2009-02-02T00:31:00.002+10:30

okay. apparently i'm pretty slow.
but somehow i wish i never knew.
i think sometimes the ignorance really is bliss.
there's so much i would give up for just to experience the childlike innocence of the past,
to play with friends just like last time without having a care in the world.
sigh. i guess once it's gone, it really is gone.
just have to learn how to move on.

...

2009-01-28T23:52:00.002+10:30

chinese new year in malaysia is THE best!
get to meet up with cousins you havent seen for ages,
eat good food cooked by grandma dearest,
and get lots of ang baos cuz families are huge...
sigh. cny was just fantastic.
=)

everything is in God's hands right?
everything happens for a reason right?
then why do i feel so insecure?

interviews interviews interviews.

2009-01-22T00:22:00.002+10:30

oh boy oh boy!
this friday this friday!!
first interview!!
and i'm really nervous!!
like what if i dont know what to say?
what if i just blank out?
or worse still, what if i say something stupid?!
ekkks. God said that His grace is sufficient for all our needs right?
He has also said that we are not to be anxious for anything...
well, i certainly know all that,
but somehow, i'm just not applying it.
arghh.
pray. yes, i need to pray.
Lord, HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

one month!

2009-01-20T01:11:00.002+10:30

today is officially the first month i'm back since ages!!
haha. my my. how time flies...
another month more and i'd be flying back to adelaide!
ekks. very fast... very fast...
too fast... too fast...
well, anyway, while on the long train ride to and fro to bugis today,
i was contemplating...
the 10 things i'd really like to accomplish before i die...
1) i'd like to be a better cook.
2) actually lose some weight!
3) learn to rollerblade properly.
4) not work or study for one year and just read books.
5) learn how to iceskate.
6) to be able to walk closely with the Lord in every aspect of my life.
7) to be able to truely show agape love.
8) to learn how to drive SAFELY.
9) to actually tone down my temper...
10) not a must, but i'd actually like to have kids. haha. adopted or biological, i dont mind!
haha. completely random, but apparently, this is what i do when i'm pretty idle...
which is not very good...
(the idle part, not the thinking part.)

baking experiment 1!

2009-01-12T23:57:00.003+10:30

ok, so i decided to put my 'baking skills' to the test today!
as in serious baking...
my aim: to bake a Rich Marbled Chocolate Cake for van's belated 21st bdae.
haha. it was, well... interesting.
whether or not it was good,
that you'll have to ask my family!
i had no idea that it required over 2 hours to bake a cake!
but maybe cuz i'm a 'newbie'...
but anyway, i'll let the pics do the talking!

gathering and preparation of ingredients...
before the cake was baked....

AFTER it was baked...

preparing the icing...

dark and white chocolate!

the final product!!!

haha. wanna know the secret behind all the beautiful swirls??

chopsticks!! =D

blading madness with mabel!!

2009-01-06T23:37:00.004+10:30

the message was relevant and no one was seriously hurt...
heh. no photos to embarrass myself! =D

brian, rachel and me!!

me and sandy!
cathy and i!

me and josheel's silly face!

trevor- he's an amazing piano player!

me and darren!

kristine and i!

one thing i'll never understand...

2008-11-12T16:24:00.002+10:30

yes, that one thing is: why do people kill each other??
i was walking home today when i saw, not one, not two but SIX police cars zoom past me.
this was followed by 2 ambulances.
i thought it was just some major accident,
and i did what most kiasu singaporeans do,
run to the scene.
just that this was NOT an accident scene.
there was that yellow tape surrounding the area and a guy was rolled out of a shop on a stretcher thingy. ya know the one with wheels?
minutes later, another one was rolled out.
just that this one was covered with a white cloth.
and you know what that means, somebody died.
instantly, i felt sick in the stomach.
somebody's childwas just murdered. somebody's sibling. somebody's friend.
just what gives the right to people to kill others?!
doesnt it say in the bible, love your neighbour as thyself?
even God asks us to love our enemies!
so if we wouldnt kill ourself,
why should we go about killing others?
since when were we fit to play God?!
has our society degraded so much?
:(

this is my beloved!

2008-11-08T17:45:00.002+10:30

i'm about to reveal a secret!
today, i'll show you all my beloved!
we've been together since june,
and no worries!
my family knows about it!
i got parental consent first!
arent i an obedient girl!
i remembered what mummy said,
"Must look carefully!
Choose the right one...
You sure or not?
Don't give up halfway hor!"
And yes, those sound advice did help me make the right choice...
i've always wanted to take a photo of my beloved,
and i finally got down to it today!
ready??
.
.
.
.
.
.
TADA!

sigh, isnt it gorgeous?!

thanks mummy and daddy!!

i dont what to do about you. honestly.
make a decision and keep it please.
and dont try to act innocent.
you know very well what you did.
sometimes, i think that i may even be hating you.
i just cant do this anymore.
either you're in or you're out.
no fence sitting.
make up your mind.
now.
i really dont get it.

of all things...

2008-10-29T17:23:00.002+10:30

sigh. of all times, of all things,
this just had to happen today.

i hope he pulls through just fine...
there's like smth wrong with a valve in his heart...
=( sigh.

i dont know who you are anymore...

GUESS WHAT?!

2008-10-25T17:05:00.002+10:30

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!
I GOT A CONDITIONAL OFFER FROM ONE OF THE UNIs HERE TO DO OCCUPATIONAL THERAPHY NEXT YEAR!!!
i only need to satisfy one condition.
that is to get 79.44 for my average scores.
hmmm. gotta work hard!
thank God! i was worrying over it over the past few weeks!
but God is good!
when i got the offer by email, immediately i 'heard' this...
"O ye of little faith!"
hehe. but yes. another lesson in trusting God.
another disappointment, another pain.

vanny's bdae!

2008-10-23T16:10:00.004+10:30

haha. this post is a lil late...

but yes, celebrated van's bdae on the 19th and 20th!

haha. no pics from the 19th one lar.

but in short, we organised a surprise birthday party for her!

=D it was super funny. we blindfolded van and brought her to a friend's house.

then she kept asking so many questions and making so much noise!

we told her she was at a restaurant! =X

at least she was surprised, and did enjoy herself! *whew!*

on the 20th, van and i went for lunch at a jap store called "Maki Maki".

super good food and resonably priced!

as i was cooking a birthday dinner for her and sis lydia,

i warned her NOT to go to the freezer and microwave.

i hope she did not. i wont know even if she did lar.

so got back from school at abt 5:15 pm.

locked van in her room and i started cooking!

2 hours later, this was what came out...

fish & chips and salad!

whew. thank God it all came out alright!
after dinner, sis lydia brought us out for desert.
super funny lar. we were meant to go to a chocolate place,
but when we got there, it was closed!
then she brought us to a place which supposedly had A LOT of cafes.
got there, it was all closed too!
in the end, we went to a gelati parlour in the city.
2 streets from our house.
and we took an hour to finally get there.
=.= it was hilarious.

this is what van got.
it was ALL chocolate!!

this is mine.
i got some berries thingy.
strawberry, forest berry and chocolate.
haha. i changed the last flavour.
it was meant to be raspberry i think.

this is me being greedy. XP

by the time we got home, it was 11 plus.
and i was feeling really stuffed. *burp*
haha. i love birthdays!
even those which arent mine! =D

hmmm.

2008-10-16T20:30:00.002+10:30

well, as december draws nearer,
i suddenly feel as if it's february all over again.
i just so wanna go home right now...
it's almost ridiculous.
the teachers are starting to scare us with all the horror stories of students not making it to uni, or not completing the course.
haha. it's pretty effective i guess.
i'm pretty scared now! hah!
well, they had to evacuate the whole building last night!
some silly person burnt the food and created so much smoke that the fire alarm went off.
suddenly, the voice was blaring "please proceed to the nearest exit and evacuate the builing in a calm and orderly manner."
i went out to see if anyone was actually going out,
so since there were, i went out too.
in my shorts and t-shirt.
not very nice esp since it was 8 degrees outside.
so yes, i was standing downstairs in the wind.
in the end, there wasnt any fire. just lots of smoke.
sigh, will people never learn?!
watch your food when you're cooking lar!!

boredom

2008-10-15T16:51:00.003+10:30

i am bored. gah.
just a short update to let people know i'm stilll alive.
arghh. started the week with a bio test.
how depressing. first day of school...
there's a psychology test tmr!
ughh. ok. better study and do work!
but first! destress a little with my violin... =)
probably one of the few things that keep me sane lar.
too many things to do.
too little time.
it just had to be you to be the fool.

holidays are gone!

2008-10-12T21:15:00.002+10:30

my! in the blink of an eye,
two weeks have gone by!
haha. i am actually raring to go back to school tmr!
though there is that dreaded bio test...
and that 10 assignments to pass up...
but imagine! 6 weeks of school left!
then study break!
then exams!
then HOME!
yes yes, i probably sound like a broken recorder,
repeating what i have said before...
BUT YOU KNOW!! =D
i have the joy that passeth all understanding down in my heart,
where? DOWN IN MY HEART!
just another smile for all the world to see.

2008-10-07T21:54:00.002+10:30

well, second week of my break.
finally started on my assignments! =)
heh. last week was just slacking + resting...
i better stop sleeping at 1 a.m. and waking up at 11 a.m.
hehe... yes, i should start sleeping earlier.
if not when i get back to school,
i'm gonna have a really hard time waking up!
ughh, 6 more weeks of school, 7 weeks to study break,
and 8 weeks to exams!
never thought i'd say this, but...
EXAMS FASTER COME LAR!!!

weird...

2008-10-02T17:02:00.002+09:30

hmm. i had the wierdest series of dreams last night.
my first one was:
i was riding a horse, when i rested, i got off it.
it then got stolen by the pastor's son in my church.
i found my horse and the guy who stole my horse bought my a bag of clothes to say sorry.
i woke up, and went to sleep again.
the second dream:
i was in this school building, when a bomber was sighted.
suddenly all hell broke loose,
and everyone was shooting everyone! even me! O.O
then my school friend went bersek cuz his gifrlfriend broke up with him,
so he started shooting everywhere.
in the end, i caught the bomber, and i woke up again.
the last dream i had was:
my family and i were at toa payoh swimming complex.
suddenly, a bus landed in the middle of the pool and caught fire!!
after the fire was put out, my family walked back to the car.
there was a mouse in the car and my mom killed it with newspapers.
she asked me to throw it away, when i used a tissue to pick it up,
she asked,"why dont you just use your hand?"
i replied,"eeyer! dont want! so dirty!"
with that, i woke up finally, feeling even tireder than when i went to bed.
=.= why am i so creative at night?!
i'll take it one step at a time please.

I Know God Makes No Mistakes.

2008-09-30T22:51:00.002+09:30

hmm, i dunno why things turned out this way,
but i know that God makes no mistakes.
i may not understand what good there is in this,
but i know that God will be with me,
every baby step of the way.
i withdraw myself from your life.
