ah, it has been long.

these days, there are so many thoughts that i can't seem to keep track of them!

1) happy birthday to my mommydearest!! yay! =)

2) happy 1st anniversary to me and my alter ego. we have been in this for a year. the mentality of being a teacher. i know theoritically i am not functioning as one but hey, some things won't change for the moment.

3) J is nice. =)

4) oh miah's pic is on funkygrad! haha.. i think he's freaking funny..

5) there's socio test and i havent finish revising 2 topics. i take it as done esp with today's tute.

6) i seem to be getting acquianted with many (to be) lawyers these days...

7) today in vivien's class, i became the single female who wanted to adopt a baby. how nice.

8) and at doug's class, i'm the interesting question person and he refuse to give me the answer. how nice.

9) and i just found out, my pic's also on funky grad! nice.

10) mr tan peng cheng's arguing about culture with an anthropologist. that's so insulting!

11) blogging seemed to be a way of articulating thoughts, but before the existence of blogs, what happpened to my thoughts? the good old diary. it's time to write instead of blog. and with that, there's alot to say but i rather not say. makes me think too much and i resolve not to think too much. well, at least for now when the workload is piling.

12) one last thought before i close, while waiting for brother at A n E, (he had viral infection), i came across this article about cancer and how this guy overcame it. i felt so overwhelmed. because to tell u the truth, someone was ill and chances of relapse is there. okay, that doesn't matter.

because perfect love cast out all fears.

i'm red now!

sunday was Sun Day! and being in comm, we were in the sun for almost 4 hours. then just now windsurfing was a full day thing and boy, i'm red and burnt! windsurfing's fun but tiring. i feel so tired now!

met one of your seniors who's in year 3 now. and he happens to be your superstar's batch. fancy that! i thought it was quite funny. oh wells. actually, thank God for guys during the course, otherwise i'm at my wits' end! ( for the first time, i'm affirming guys...)

recently, my eye got infected. well, my cornea that is. fancy that, i might have turned blind last week. thank God He preserved my sight. well, need to consult doc tmr to make sure nothing wrong will happen anymore. the price to pay hur. i wish i don't need to wear specs. it's so troublesome (and studious looking..)

i feel as if i am floating now...

i'm craving for rasins now..

dinner with the far side makes me understand and realise i really think too much. but soon after, he talked to me. it was neutral though. but nice all the same. i like=)

I CANNOT stand male chauvinists.

No, I'm not a full-blown feminist although I may behave like one at times. I still believe men are to be the head of the household and wives ought to submit to their husbands.

BUT, don't you ever say women are troublesome, a waste of your time, money and energy.

I am offended on the behalf of my fellow female species.

well, i'm really not sure what this feeling is. but it feels good to be able to study together. i can't describe it.

i don't care what fredo and ws said. all rubbish. i hope he was not affected.

he's so different from the others. that makes him so different from them. more reserved and shy but nevertheless, a good encourager and listener, and he even offered to do my homework for me coz i really don't know how to do. And mind you, his schedule is super packed. Of course, i'm not asking him to do my work for me. I can do them myself..

but it was sweet of him to offer right? and he didn't have to walk me back home, but he did! coz it was dark and my bag was too heavy. haha..

he's a gentleman. and i beseech all boys to learn from my friend.

valentines day

i suspect i outgrew this nonsense eversince i got out of college. last year this time, we finished walking wm's dog and then went for dinner at 11pm and it was great.

this yr, i went to charissa's place to watch vcds. a lot like love and the prince & me. oh yea, cheesy love shows. because we both are bored. no no no, we are not lonely, just happliy alone, oh wait, she's attached haha.

anyway, the bottom line is, it's a change after 4 years. some peace and quiet instead of the noisy orchard road.

i like it, especially to laze around charissa's place.

and yea, we got the 40th storey. gosh.

i'm kinda apprehensive about tmr. socio lect.

but well, shouldn't be that bad i guess. but i look forward to studying with jh tmr. coz i know he'll motivate me.

ok, happy valentines day everyone. here's a valentines' day msg from the Someone who got a crush on you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." - John 3:16

i'm determind to be a "new" person this week forth.

more veg, more long jogs, more time to talk to my girls, more time in the lib, more bible study ideas and the list goes.

ly asked me to preach this sat for cell.

woohoo!! but so many times, i get so exhausted myself. thank God for today's message that spoke right to my heart. i want to be found near the Fountain of Living Waters, to be refreshed and nourished by the One who truly satisfies.

have you felt unsatisfied before? like when u try to fill ur life with things but somehow they don't seem to satisfy and u don't understand why. worse still, some just make you so dry and disillusioned.

i went through that. but now i know He satisfies. =)

***
dad and mom's going to buy a new apartment across the street. fancy that! i'll never get out of this place unless i marry someone from the east, of which ly said she'll make sure of that. haha, indeed. the odds are high but not high enough right now.

hopefully we get 4oth storey. haha, then i'll invite everyone to my housewarming. but that's in 3-4 years' time so do get too hopeful now. who knows? i might not stay at that new house for long?

***
i need to learn how to move around with time...

for the record, this is the second post of the day.

because today's a long day! well, very in fact. i had school from 8am to 6pm, with 2 hours in between.

but that's not the point. (ok, i'm hearing M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E on American Idol???)

was on the way home(recovering from my shock and thoughts of chomp chomp stingray..) the far side called and i rerouted to ginza for dinner. it was great to see her! and it was simply great to catch up and talk about things happening in her life and my uni life.

it's times like this we get to learn.

and i told her my secret of wanting to get married at 22. yea yea yea, mad and all. it's just a thought for many reasons. firstly i don't think i can manage a family as yet. oh well, that's another entry altogether. there's many things we talked about but well, we'll just leave it as it is.

was on my way home and i saw some nan hua boys prancing around the playground. lo and behold, i recognised one of them.

and i know i don't need to embarrasse him here, right hcy the great?( of which i couldnt figure who conferred that title to you.)

i can go on saying how much i miss teaching and all. but right now, i'm happy with my uni life now. it's not all so smooth-sailing but i'm happy.

contentment is great gain.

this is going to be a very short post.

i saw him.

the guy whom i spent vday with 3 yrs ago.

freaky is the word.

i havent seen him for half a yr. the last time was at this place the far side bought berlin and i to. (u noe where hurhur? and rem that guy who came and said hi, yea, THAT one.)

3 yrs ago, he looks fine.

3 yrs later, he's doesnt shave, dresses sloppish, as such he looks younger.

but wait, he looks old and ugly. i abhor guys who look nold and ugly, esp when they don't shave!!!!!!!

okay, before that, let me explain.

he's a friend of mine whom i havent seen for a long time and never bothered to keep in touch. we used to be closer la.

and i havent seen him for a long time.

and now i realised he's doing math(!!) and taking the same socio module as i.

i'm still freaking out. my hands are still shaking.

the ghost of the past.

3 yrs ago, i was naive enough to hang out with him. to be so "charmed" by him.

3 yrs later, i'm smarter and more discerning.

it's so FREAKY, especially vday's in a week's time.

has almost been a week since i updated, lots of thoughts but no time to sit down properly to sort them. and conversation with my unofficial math tutor of college days (whom i got to catch up after so LONG!) made me realised how important it is to reflect.

don't you feel that this post a a little formal? i think i've warmed up to the many readings that i have to do. that's why i urge all of you to improve your languages by reading. it helps, really.

well, that's not the point that i'm blogging.

the teaching award application has opened, that's more important for now.

i hesitate to apply for a few reasons.

no, i'm sure i want to teach. but right now, i'm not sure whether i should do elang.

i'm still very much inclined to english literature, especially after today's lexicongraphy. i thoroughly enjoyed today's elang lect!!

phew, thank God i'm getting the momentum of studying and rushing work and all, but of course there's more to it.

ok, this post is getting a little dry bacause there's still alot of thoughts in my head. that includes yesterday's good soup, "religious convenience" ow i just saw on tv yada yada.

the mind's bursting with articles.
