hi guys. today's the first day of the third week of sem 2. i'm already so drained after only 2 weeks of school and i'm frankly very much dead. there's so many reports, so many projects, so many tutorials - okay, i'm simply overloaded with assignments. it's crazy, and soul sucking.

really need the strength to carry on. isaiah 40:31. just 6 more weeks!! i can do this, YES.

positive thought: my birthday is in a week (GRINS)

Photobooth fun.

i had the craziest time with my two lovely mandahs on friday. we had THE BEST bar chor mee at upper thomson, followed by ice kimo, which was overflowing with goodness. we talked about the happiest topics and i laughed so much that i was too full to finish my ice cream. absolutely love them<3

i love fridays. today is sunday. tomorrow is school day.

hi dear earthlings!

i got an amazing job opportunity last sunday thanks to dawn hun. working at the new punggol waterway thingy. IT IS BEAUTIFUL, i love it. new hang out spot, serious!

so, i was in charge of this inflatable pool thing where kids paddle water boats in it (PEDO MODE ON). it was crazy fun! and the people i work with were extremely funny!! proud to say i have toned arms now!! hahaha kidding, but my muscles ache from carrying the kids off and onto the boats. i love kids nevertheless! the sun was totally merciless that day so i'm more sunburnt now, again. i better not peel again. school has started and i'm not going to class with uneven skin shade! yes okay picture time!

because it was the opening of the new waterway, they had fireworks!! pardon my lousy phone quality but really, this is the best i could take.

and the view of it at night is just spectacular. i can totally imagine myself stargazing.. and just chilling out here with a few of my best buds, doing nothing much but talk about our lives. it's like an escape from our busy schedules.

okay bye guys! i'm 70 bucks richer by the way!! #justsaying

service impacted me so much today. the presence of God was immense. it was so strong i kept crying and crying i don't even know why. and everything brother kahf said seemed to be directed at me. and worship min is having auditions in nov. serve serve serve. i need to stop being so mindful of......... i don't even know what's holding me back. but i really want to do more for God.

courage. i need courage. and confidence.

anyway we celebrated dear sarah, nat and gabs birthday today!! had such a great time making all of their cards @ coro starbucks with dezzy, albeit extremely early in the morning. my wonderful sister sent me there:)

had dinner at lewu and YESSSSSS PAD THAI IS AS DELICIOUS AS ALWAYS. i love food. i love food too much to go on a diet. no matter how hard i try i always fail. sigh temptations.

okay yes so that's my saturday. working tmr!! definitely need the moolah.

p/s to sign up or not to sign up.

the first week of school is coming to an end! have i been hardworking? compared to last sem.. or any other sem, yes. but was it enough? probably not. dr ghandi told me that day that if i felt like the work load was too heavy for me to handle, i should drop a module. because it's better than passing immuno, but yet fail 2 other modules. after all the original modules for this sem is already a lot tougher than the previous sem, plus i've one extra.

i guess failing immuo was a huge wake up call.

i wonder how long i can keep this nerd mode up. it ain't easy:( next week onwards, i'll study at esquare whenever need be. i know i concentrate a lot better when i'm not home. i got to do what i got to do. i don't want to fail any module again. it's a terrible feeling.

but yes, thank God it's friday tomorrow!!:)

p/s i think ngee ann is so sweet to me. the decisions they make.. the teachers they have.. they make me try a little harder.

happy first day of school!!

school was draining.. but it went well i guess:) finally met some of my classmates after what seemed like forever. best perk? i get full allowance again. YES! but then again.. i cabbed home today which means my saving plans didn't go as fine as i thought it'd be.

school ends at 1 tomorrow because immuno is cancelled!! great or great? i hope i'll be able to conquer all modules this sem. i really don't want to disappoint anyone anymore.. and i should not waste my parents' money. poly school fees are so expensive.

on the fun side, mandah and i have been discussing about our post grad trips!! we're thinking between uk or albany in west australia!! that means we got to work our butts off for quite some time to get enough moolah to travel but whatev', i'm sure being able to travel makes all these "work" worth it. can't wait!!

bye guys, this was a quick update.

p/s thank you dear friend for this special gift, love it!!<3

words - you can either build someone up, or tear someone down. sometimes i wonder if people nowadays are even sensitive enough to choose the words they use, to choose what they want to say.. instead of just bluntly saying whatever they think is "funny". do people even think before they speak anymore? those statements you made can be a joke.. but you can't push it too far. people have feelings, people get hurt.

and people get tired of trying to love.

MESMERISED.

such charming voices.. such gorgeous looks..

this is so cute i feel like crying just looking at it.

dawn hun and i were discussing about how i should celebrate my birthday this year. after all, it's the big 18th. had some pretty cool ideas (which i'm not gonna reveal right now! hehe) that i'm stoked about!! but i'm still feeling a little bummed out that my few closer friends probably can't celebrate it with me because their A levels are coming right up.

stepping into another milestone in life in less than a month's time.

i had such a good time shopping with dezzy today. and the bargains i got, UNBELIEVABLE. so many pretty bags, so many pretty clothes.. and a pair of pretty shoe. i overused pretty, but i'm too happy to think of a better word to use hehe.

didn't realise how broke i was until i checked my balance using the atm machine about an hour ago. so pathetically poor right now. can't wait for school to start. not that i enjoy studying, i just need moolah. and i HAVE to save up. i'm going to limit myself to say.. $40 a week? i try, i try. and if i can keep it going for the entire semester, I'LL BE RICH 8)

hopefully my online loot will come soon!! i love receiving packages;)

ps i'm so happy yingz is back, can't wait to meet her soon!!
pps kel is coming back soon!!

note to self: sera it's your own walk. no one else is responsible, capiche?

i miss running in the rain.. esp in my school uniform. more exciting you know? hahaha. running to the next shelter for the fun of it. not because we don't have a brolly. running in the rain makes you feel lighthearted and carefree. getting so much joy even though we were all thoroughly soaked, but yet still focused on how much a blast we were having.. than to bother about how people looked at us. not that we didn't know people were scrutinising and judging us.. sneering at us.. labeling us.. but back then, thrill and fun mattered more than pride and image.

we would go up the bus freezing.. and all the adults will just STARE at us.. literally. they wouldn't even shift their eyes off us. just blatantly staring as if we don't know they're talking bad about us. but doesn't matter, we were not alone.

i miss my wilder days hahaha. thinking about all these because i'm turning 18 soon, which means i've to start taking responsibility for my own actions. no more privilege of getting off scott free because i'm no longer a kid. in public eyes, i'm mature enough to make wise, settled and cultured decisions.

which means less fun. or maybe it's just me. i'm just more aware and conscious about what people think of me, as compared to last time.. hahahahaha OH WELL.

so badly sunburnt but you probably can't tell from the picture above. feeling like a snake with my face flaking and peeling and honestly, this is my first time experiencing something like that. quite exciting i must say hahaahha.

BUT THANKFULLY IT IS NOT PAINFUL. everyone complains about the aftermath of being out in the sun without applying sunblock. never experienced it before, and neither do i want to.

missed service today to do a little furniture shopping at ikea but my goodness it was a total flop:( they didn't have the drawers i want, and the loft bed i wanted was gone from display - probably sold out. bought barely anything so the next time i'm going to do any proper revamping will be next feb.. which is 6 months from now.. which is a long long wait.

perk: at least their meatballs were good!!:)
2ndperk: i'm getting my room painted in a few days' time!!:)

this little girl is too precious, and the surprise above is exactly what i'll do to my daughter next time. i can't wait to grow up, i can't wait to have kids.

but i need money to support them. BAH. so i can't just drop out and be a zookeeper just because i want to. UNLESS of course i get to marry a rich husband;)

anyway, yesterday was a whole lot of fun. playing ball @ beach, soaking in the what-zhehao-calls-pool, chilling at macs, more ball, dinner @ superdog, MAJOR SURPRISE when i was about to leave, MORE SURPRISE when may called me, (so much love in air~~~), david's place, chill with cell, home!!

i'm so terribly sunburnt but i really love days like these. and there's really absolutely nothing that can ever ruin that ecstasy.

:')

eriel ronquillo,

my favourite female youtube singer since years back<3

i even have her on facebook ha ha ha stalker much. #fangirl

IS THIS GLARINGGGGGGGG?

i really need to do something about my hair. i'm like bringing frizziness to whole new level hahaha.

anyway!! i think i'm more or less done ridding rubbish off my room. my room looks a lot cleaner now, but i haven't been sleeping on my bed because i insist that the room is still incredibly dusty. i shall only move back in when every other furniture that needs to be replaced, is replaced, and, when the entire room is vacuumed!!

i want to get fairy lights and beanbags.

delightful thought: sentosa w/ s&w mates + cell bbq tmr!!

i miss serving:(

this boy's got talent, for sure.

anyway guys, it's official!! i'm going to revamp my room. i've to decide on what colour my walls should be.. how i'll want my bed to be like (to remain the same or to bring it higher).. and i'm getting new drawers for my study table!! GOOD. i definitely need more storage spaces.

used nippon icolour to help me decide what would be a good colour combination for my room. opinions? of course just look at the walls.. the beds and everything are preset.

so much packing to do!! burying myself in dust recently.

oh well till next time,
ciaoz!!
