Been watching pretty cool movies of late, not the most conventional and all, but... different, I guess.
The male lead is uber hot. And so is Penelope Cruz, but Scarlet Johansson was annoying.
This, I thought, was disturbing. But good all the same!
I felt really sad watching this. |

Like why am I awake right? Roar my body clock is screwed to the max and I haven't even left the country yet this is so wrong :/
I like Christmas because they always mean meeting up with friends! :D
FG Sleepover was super fun!!!!! Bernice said I had the cannot-cook-or-bake face I am vvv sad ): I can okay! D: We had yummy food and plenty of sushi. Kinda felt weird without the whole bunch but oh well, must make do. AVATAR 3D AT NIGHT WAS GOOOOOOD! I was totally against watching it when it first came out but after1. XY and Andy insisted it'd be damn good, like, n number of times, where n tends to infinity;
2. XY told me how the movie-makers may never recoup the amount they spent on making the film (yes, pity marks);
3. Sarah and SherylS wanted to watch ALVIN AND THE (freaking) CHIPMUNKS SQUEQUEL instead. Who watches such a movie as a midnight movie?! (Evidently plenty, because there were SO MANY midnight show times for that movie) I knew I had to watch Avatar. And yes I got over my fear of the slightly mutated adult Smurfs. Don't laugh ): They really are scary when you first see them ):
Walking back to Sarah's was fun! I like Orchard at night, so peaceful breezy and pretty, not like in the day when it seems like everyone's just snatching air from one another ): None of our Disney Princesses DVDs worked so we watched random shows on StarHub. ANDDD! I somehow managed to wake up at 10 even though I only slept at 8! Was so impressed by myself. Went for ballet but was soooo zoned out. 2h sleep + ballet = BAD. Sigh. Went home and spent the rest of the day baking a new batch of Weihnachtsplätzchen. Post-Christmas Pre-NY gathering at Eugene's was superbly fun; heehee I like :D And my Weihnachtsplätzchen were well-received despite Huiting's doubts about my capabilities! Hip hip hooray! :D Today was probably my 2nd time watching Singapore Idol (all how-ever-many seasons) and it is decided: Singapore Idol REALLY sucks. Sigh. No further comments.
The rest of this post is pointless so you can stop here. Dahngooooo.
Schon wieder einen. Wann lernen sie endlich dass ich kein Interesse daran habe? Ich meine, doch, ich fühl mich geschmeichelt, aber sonst nichts. Ich wiederhole mich immer, bin nicht interessiert bin nicht interessiert bin nicht interessiert, und werde immer verwundert angeschaut. Ich bin doch nicht die Einzige - es gibt bestimmt anderen, die so wie ich sind, oder? Mann ich will wirklich keinen Freund verloren. Wegen all dieser Scheiße ist schon viel Unbehaglichkeit entstanden, mehr will ich nicht. Was nun?! |

i think i've just become MJ's biggest fan second to my mother, but he doesn't need to know that. else it would be very very awkward should i see him in person again.
must... resist... soft spot... for singing and strumming boys..... D:
I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see

UPDATINGGG :)
So in the past few days/weeks... I finally went to the zoo with 6++ buddies! In case you didn't know, i had a sudden craze over elephants some time last year, and really wanted to go to the zoo but nobody wanted to go (from aye12 i mean) and then i found out the tickets were rather expensive (it actually wasn't but i thought it was then!) and started a "Send sessy to meet the elephants" fund. After a mere collection of 2dollars and something, the fund was forgotten and so was my trip. Fortunately,
the month of dec 2009 was the month of elephants and my beloved 6++ decided that since they wanted to go to the zoo we could all go together and I can personally satisfy my long-awaited urge to witness the elephants! So one sunny day, we set out to the Singapore Zoo @ Mandai Road and did a little birthday celebration for the two Js too (: more photos on FB but here are some to spice up my lj which ive actually abandonned for some time other than peeping on others' posts.
 
6++ | Insanely happy self with elephants walking right past me, returning to their abode after the Asian Elephants show :)
 
such awesome close-up shots of really handsome, and pretty animals. I mean really, just look at them!
Other than the fantabulous zoo trip, there was also the 08AYE12 PICNIC @ Marina Barrage!
 
 
Then also the recent ketchup session with BB! Gosh, time flew and we're just talking like mad aunties!
 OMG it is the last week of 2009!!

Heh, no free internet at shanghai either. I walked out of the airport to catch some fresh air, very cold but super refreshing! :) Actually, beijing airport > shanghai airport. Anyway, it smells like piss and cigarette in this place because I'm sitting in this small waiting area and there's a toilet and smoking room. Within the past few minutes shanghai's sky turned from a dark, menacing shade of grey to a friendly hue of blue. It's the only nice part of sitting here - watching the sun paint the sky. I'm so excited to see my granny and gramps! And also my mother. Oh yes and my cousin who's getting her nose job today!! Hmm I still have like 2 hours to go before the plane flies. I'm so bloody thirsty but I don't have any rmb w me, can't buy anything. Oh and omg my chinese damn fail. I couldn't understand the food they were serving, and the steward couldn't speak english so he opened up both to show me. Oh yes! About the plane, china eastern = the most cheapskate plane ever :( Utensils are all plastic and the plane itself is :X (instead of having an emergency exit/door, they have this outline on the outside of the plane labelled 'cut here for emergency'
/
Arrived in busan!! :) It's not very cold here. It's like 6C today, which is really quite warm. But from tomorrow the temperature's gonna drop and maybe it'll snow! Omg I really really hope it does. White christmas :D For once I want to have faith in the weather broadcast girl.

I bought them ugg boots! :) And, I saw my cousin. She looks kinda scary but in a few days' time all the bandages and stitches will be gone, so hopefully she'll look beautiful! |

i'm looking at my christmas wishlist and i can't help but feel disgusted at my materialistic needs. as Ps Alvin said during camp, we don't know just how grossly materialistic we are till we compare ourselves with the less fortunate.
after all, christmas isn't just about the presents and the good food and the fun. i've got the greatest gift to have ever been given, and that's salvation in the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
have a good holiday, y'all. |

Hihi I am at terminal 3, I came in way too early for my flight. Which is only at 12.55 and... I'll be in Shanghai in about 5 hrs 15 mins? Meh I hope it's gonna be better than the beijing one. For the past hour I've been cruising around all the DFS shops and brand shops, picking up every single thing that caught my eye and trying on all the stuff like I'll be able to afford them in no time haha. I felt rather bored/sad after that so I went to times to look at some books and there are just too many I want to buy! :( But I still have so many at home that I haven't read since like what, the start of this year? (I WILL READ MORE) Omg it has been a hell busy year.. although I really have no clue what I've accomplished. For some reason, so many people are talking about how this year has been like fuck for them - that includes me too but I am beginning to realise (yes, with a week left to conclude the year) how much protection, love, (financial) comfort, joy, tangible possession I have been blessed and showered with. It is because of these, that I am sheltered from so much worse things that could have happened, or I could have felt. (One of)The only regret I have right now is how I didn't stay close to God, how I chose not to seek him at most (if not, all) times. But you know what? I still have a week! This year is not over and that is why I can stop being sad and be awesome instead! Merry christmas, everyone! Happy birthday to baby Jesus :) |

3 days to Christmas :)
I love this time of the year. The Christmas songs (Jason Mraz is awesome btw), Christmas cheer, Orchard road lighting, Parties, Dressing up, Food, Candles, Christmas cards (more of a card person than a gift person)... Christmas/baby Jesus ftw!
& unlike past years, I know what I want for Christmas this year: His Peace. Could use a lot of that. It's like i'm waging a mind war every day; trying to fend off those negative thoughts and fears. Pastor Lewis reminded us that Christmas represents God's everlasting peace; the birth of Jesus; Salvation. & I guess I really need that this year.

I'm back, after a long hiatus away at another online diary. I guess I really needed a break from everything and everyone, especially with the lot of drama going on in my life at that point in time. Now that things are alot better I figured I'd come back cos... strangely enough, I write better at lj. Not significantly better or anything, but my thoughts seem more... coherent. Mm.
Anyway, Dr. Freddy Boey preached about the Holy Spirit at camp. He said that there are 4 images that represent it. The first is the dove, followed by fire, wind, and finally, Jesus Christ.
At the end of camp, after camp comm cleared out of the ops room, we stood at the porch of the Singapore Sports School waiting for the church van to come by to send us back to church. And the sky then was of a radiant shade of blue. Quite a refreshing sight in comparison to the 3 days of rain we'd previously experienced. All of a sudden, out of the stillness of the humid Singaporean atmosphere, the wind blew, really really hard, and a cool refreshing wind engulfed my entire being. It was only for a while before it died down and all was still again.
Call me hypersensitive, crazy, whatever you will - but at that very moment I knew it was God. It was God in the wind, caressing me and telling me that He was happy with the work that the camp comm has done, and that He would always be around, in our hearts.
What can I say? I love my God. |

Most of us went to YM camp expecting to meet God in a mind-blowing manner, I'm sure we were expecting an altar call with alot of crying and slaining of the spirit. But camp was, for lackthereof a better word, different, this year. Many youths were probably puzzled and disappointed at how there was no emotional hype to set the mood for the presence of the Holy Spirit, and were also probably struggling to seek God in the stark silence that flooded the auditorium.
I suppose it's because most of us think of silence as a void that we constantly need to fill up - whether it be the silence that is interpreted as awkwardness between friends, or the silence in the vivacity of our lives that make us want to go out and seek certain kinds of entertainment to replace the silence. And because of that we don't know how to find God, because we're expecting that silence is necessarily awkward, we conclude that the absence of any form of noise would not make the arrival of the Holy Spirit possible.
But time, and time again, we forget that the Lord is the Almighty, and the Most High, and that He can make anything happen at will. And I think that God has been very gracious to us by teaching us this important lesson, that we should not place expectations on how the Lord will come to us, and we shouldn't limit the Holy Spirit's ability to work in our lives under any situation. God is God, and we are not. |
