in a twinkling of an eye, another week has passed. time seriously flies by so quickly. this week has been a rather unfruitful week because of all the mock papers that has disrupted my study plans. why give mock papers when you're not done with revision. mock papers are meant to be a gauge for you to see where you stand after all that revision and not meant for those who are not done with revision. the mock papers start like in the late afternoon and ends like 6 plus 7. so by the time i reach home, it'll be like 7 plus 8. and it's really draining to come back from school so late everyday. why can't the teachers think?

don't i look cool in the shades...

slacking at the sports carnival

vroom vroom. sat in daddy's new car. the car is huge. slighly bigger than the previous one. and the seat are really cool. the centre seats are like 'individualised'. somewhat like the airplane seats where you can bring your own seat down. and the car now has a tv. toally fabulous!

and today is the start of the week. it's going to be a scary week. there is going to be mock papers everyday except for tue. phew. and today's math paper was a killer to us students. but the teacher said it was a manageable. this has been a total wake up call for all of us.

prelims are in 3 weeks time. gotta go study. tata!

today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!

mon 8/8 - had national day celebration cum sports carnival in sch. what a way to celebrate. anyway, the highlight of the day was watching Charlie and the chocalate factory. it was Mz tan's treat. a rare occasion indeed. sanne, aren't you jealous? haha. it was soo soo funny. could practically laugh from the start to the end of the show. the atmosphere in the cinema was so lively. and the kids were laughing and talking so loudly. willy wonka, willy wonka...

sun 7-8 - even with only a few hours of sleep, i felt so energetic and hyper. it was definitely by God's grace! and i brought the spirit of worship from FOP back to church. worship was totally magnificent!

sat 6/8 - went to Festival of Praise starring Delirious and Hillsong. the night was TOTALLY AWESOME, FATASTIC, AMAZING & UNFORGETTABLE!!!! the stadium was filled to the max. praise God for everyone of them. got front seats and the view was superb! we rocked the stadium with our praise and worship all because we love God. sang my heart out praising and worshipping God. almost lost my voice. but i couldn't care less because all i wanted to do was to stay in His presence, praising Him just as i am.
message by Rev Colin Dye was good! "Not just to know Him, but to make Him known."
Lord Jesus, You're everything i need. in Your presence, i'm changed.

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as i am
Empty handed, but alive in Your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever i am changed by Your love
In Your presence of Your Majesty

~ Majesty by Delirious

sanne and i

me, christine, sabby, sanne

what have i been doing for the past few days.

sat - finally all 8 of us actually managed to catch up with one another. it felt so complete, unlike the past few times when not everyone turned up. the bbq at sanne's place was one of our unique dinners. food is being placed on the table and we get to eat in comfort. never will you find such an ambience!

sun - the morning started with a heavy downpour. went to church as usual. pastor was like talking about overcoming fear. we need not fear because 'He that is in me is greater than he who is of this world'.

mon & tue - raining. raining. and raining. the weather is so perfect to snuggle up in our quilts and sleep. why can't the hols just arrive. lol.

enjoy the week everyone!

why does one shrink their responsibility when something goes wrong? but gains credit when everything is smooth sailing. life is simply unfair.

finally..the weekend arrived!

went out with my mg darlings yesterday after eons. went to nydc in holland village for dinner and the food was simply delicious! after that we went to coffee club for desserts. i must say, the desserts there are superb! it was so so chocolaty..yummy!! while eating, we were chatting about those days we had in mg and laughing about the things we did in class. and how 'naughty' or 'guai' we were. haha. we totally had a great time together. =)

went back to mg today. met up with miss tan and mrs choo. chatted for a while because they had to rush off for some meeting. and the school was still in the midst of construction with the quandrangle being extended. the primary school toilets looking nicer. the new block, where all the science labs and lecture theatres were, looks like a condo. the classrooms were bigger too. and the list goes on.. why couldn't we enjoy the new facilities? hmm.. but at least we didn't have to go through the noisy and dusty construction.

then sanne and i went to coro for lunch. had the yummy lemon chicken rice and bubble tea. and it was decided last min that we met up with alicia and mel in little india. and because sanne gave the wrong instruction on where to find alish and mel, we ended up walking through the tekka market. but they were actually in tekka mall. haha. felt a tour guide bringing the tourists - alish, mel and sanne to buy bangles. after that we went to chinatown. walked through a street of shops where they bought some stuff. and i was trying to remember where was the shop that sold cheap cds. finally after turning left and right, we found the shop.

after a whole day out, i finally returned home with a ache on the shoulder. so sad. but it was enjoyable touring around the heritage places of singapore. lol.

HAPPY YOUTH DAY!

yesterday was youth sunday. church's worship was really good! there is power in expectancy! all things are possible to Him who believes!

and our youth present from the church was to have a bbq at night. it was decided totally last minute after service. the food was great and we all had fun! the guys were the chefs cooking the food, and the girls were just in charge of eating. =)

and i learnt how to play the...violin! my first song was twinkle twinkle little star. it was pretty easy. but to someone new to the instrument, your neck will ache after some time. whatever the case, learning how to play a song within a night gives you total satisfaction. must be wondering why was there a violin at a bbq. well, it's because someone had her violin lesson before the bbq.

at first, there were plans of watching a movie with my friends. but it was cancelled in the end. so i ended going out for lunch with my sister and 2 church friends. and studying for the rest of the day. =>

finally! our whole mid-yr exams are over with the gp paper being today. paper 1 was rather tricky. had a difficult time choosing which question to write about. paper 2 was more of a literary passage. but overall paper was do-able, but at times challenging.

weeeeeee...time zooms past you and before you know it, it's FRIDAY! thank God for weekends. one week passed, nine more weeks to go before the sep hols and then the prelims.

i must say that this week's been a rather easy going week, compared to the weeks before. suppose it's because most of the teachers have completed their syllabus except for econs and human geography. oh well. got to start revision soon..

nitez!

Majesty, power and love,
holiness, peace from above,
with me in mind,
Lord You took the blame,
Jesus there is power in Your Name

~ Power in the Name

despite the mc, i still went to school. there were too many things that couldn't be missed. and the teachers all began their lesson by telling us that there was only a term to revise all that we learnt. time flies really fast. it's already the 2nd semester. and there seriously isn't much time before the A's..

this means..more work and less time for play..

today is the last day of the school holidays. school is starting tmr. monday blues....=( and to make things worse, i woke up today with a sore eye. the doctor said that it was because there were some virus that were from my nose that travelled to the eye, thus the sore eye. this is some complicated medical stuff. he prescribed some eyedrop and cream for me plus 2 days of mc.

the most depressing news today was that i couldn't attend church service because of this sore eye..i was couped up at home to recuperate. but nonetheless, after half a day, the sore eye was practically almost gone. the doctor said that it'll take about 3 to 4 days before the sore eye would subside. i must definitely give thanks to God for healing me! and also with the help of the medication.

gotta go finish the ending stack of homework..tata for now!

ooo-hoo..spent half a day shopping at orchard with my aunt and sis yesterday. there were sales everywhere. duh, it's the great singapore sale. aniwae, the first stop of the day was at mango. it was really crowded, but i still managed to get some clothes. then i spotted huimin and agnes at isetan. such a pity that i didn't buy anything from there. so we decided to head back to far east. and this time i did buy...more clothes. haha. and the last stop for the day was at tangs. i decided that since i had already bought so many clothes in one day, i shall resist myself from buying anything at tangs. and i did. aren't i good girl?! yesterday was totally my day! and before i left orchard, i saw miss wee aka serene, olt and adel. what a small world!

at night, there was the worship team gathering. we had so much fun - laughing, eating, playing a short "game" and discussing about stuff. though the gathering ended later than expected, but who cares?! what is important is that everyone had a fantastic time! after the gathering it was worship practice for sunday. and the practice was really good because God was present. could feel His presence there with us. by the time we left the church office, it was already one in the morning. but i did not feel tired at all , considering being out all day.

...my soul is restored Lord
my mind is renewed
there's no greater blessing
then being with You...

sanne at my place

yay! sanne finally came home! and sanne was so mean, she wanted to bluff us on her blog. she decided to arrived almost an hour early. so all 5 of us, were late in picking her up. what we saw instead was an empty belt.

then sanne had to come all the way back to the airport to pick us up.
afterwhich we went to eat chicken rice and now we all can fly!

sanne spent the 1st day after her arrival with me. felt so honoured. the first time that sanne ever stepped into my magical room. after exploring my room, we went to have lunch and then sanne cut her hair. when we came back, she helped me with my blog. thank you sanne! lastly, we watched Ice Princess before she left for home. a disney classic that will inspire you to learn how to ice-skate. what a happy day! =)
