2009 IS ENDING!!!

It's scary how a year can just zoom pass so quickly. The year started off really great because As ended and I got an admin job at ST Electronics, which is only 5mins bus ride away from my home. I was really lucky and even luckier to be working with graciemoonie! :D We really had a hard time working there for five months because admin work is seriously not our cup of tea but somehow we survived it with the help of some really nice colleagues! :) I'm so thankful for them. And I miss them!

I also went for cell group, like finally, after many many years and it was really awesome! The cell group is like family. :) It's exciting to learn from one another and grow together in Christ. Conquering some personal challenges felt really good too and having a closer walk with God is something I never regretted. Some times cell group was so impactful that I got so excited and shared bits and pieces with my family. That's how life was then.

Exciting taiwan and hk trip with my two good buddies, duqian and stella, was very fun too! :D It was an experience I'll never forget. Whenever I look back at the photos we took, I never fail to smile at the various jokes and silly things we did. XBL/PARTYGIRLS, I love you two deep deep! :)

Orientation camps kicked in, ROVERS, FWOC, SOW(which i only went for half a day). A whole lot of fun and I made new friends! Uni sounds exciting huh. :) It was and still is. Then things got really busy, lectures, tutorials, assignments, lab, quizzes, midterms, finals along with hall activities. I struggled to balance work, family, God and fun in hall. It still is a struggle.

Applied maths is hard and very competitive. I struggled, I fell, I stood up and tried again and the process repeats itself. But i still love maths nevertheless. Weekends were well spent with my family most of the time. I appreciate them a lot more! :) God disappeared from my life more and more, lesser quiet time, no more cell group, naps during service. I was dry spiritually and very tired physically because of the endless hall activities. But I'm so thankful for clarice and tb for meeting up with me weekly (we try to!). They helped me a great deal. I'm not saying hall is bad. No, I learnt a lot from hall and made some really awesome friends. :) I've opened my eyes to more things and tried new stuffs. I'm glad the freshies are so enthusiastic and we've got really fantastic seniors. A block is love, not forgetting ABC. :)

Results came out. I cried. I had a hard time accepting it. I struggled to thank God. I question. I scolded myself. I was upset. But through it all I've learnt a lot more. I think God is really awesome. Somehow, even though my dreams were dashed, eg the thought of going for exchange, I sensed that God wants me to know that I can have dreams, big dreams, but if it wasn't God's dream for me, nothing will happen.

The cell is stepping up, rising up. I'm so excited for them all. Seeing everyone blossoming into leaders I feel so happy for them all :) I have never imagined that so much could have changed in just a year. It's exciting you know. Sometimes I wonder what God has installed for me too. Anyway, I just want to say I'm thankful for 2009. It has been great! I'm thankful for a whole bunch of good friends that I'm still in contact with, the new friends that I've made that made this whole year a great one for me. Wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling 2010! :)

-across the universe

It's 1am now in LA, equivalent to 5pm in singapore. My family's asleep :) We drove to barstow today to shop! My family is such a shopaholic! The guys are great shoppers I tell you. Better than us girls! HAHA. I thank God for this holiday, even though sometimes I get really annoyed with my family, somehow things worked out and I really got to know them a whole lot more. Guess it's really great bonding time for us since I've been in hall for quite some time. It's really precious time spent with them. :)

The year draws to an end in a couple of days. It's time to do some serious reflection and set some goals and resolutions for 2010. I've been thinking quite a bit, especially during the long road trips in US. Been seeking God quite a bit too. It never fails to amaze me how small I feel in this world and it makes me feel soooo thankful that God actually bothers about me. I'm facing quite a fair bit of struggle now, and I'm really quite upset about what has happened. I need some time to get over it, pick myself up and be positive cause right now, fear and insecuritiy is making me doubt myself. Then again, it's not about me, it's the about the power of God in me. But do I have the faith to believe it? :/

I'll be back! Soon!

I must believe it'll only make me stronger and for the better!

Praying for a safe trip most importantly! :) Will be missing everyone a lot a lot when I'm over there! :( Will be back probably on the 30th and hopefully I make it in time for chingay dance prac. :) See how everything goes!

Cellobass gathering today was pretty fun! At least we did quite a bit of catching up! There were just too many of us that I didn't have enough time to talk to each and everyone properly! But I've finally stepped foot into orchard central and somerset313! YAY! :) And it was funny how ding jie and jinxian tried explaining to us that they were the beef patty! :D HAHA! Nice try! :D

-YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL

HELLO ALL! Had a awesome time today with my favourite xiang ba laos! :) Lunch at jap foodcourt then sang k at party world! Four hours long of singing and we are very very versatile singers okay! We sang a WIDE range and variety of songs, from english to chinese to korean ones, opera-like to cheerful to emo songs! :D Hahaha! Nobody was the funniest! Made us so high that we ended up bouncing on the sofa and doing the nobody dance!! I was so drained after two rounds of that but was really fun ttm! :D Chingay dance prac this week back in hall was fun! But it made my entire body ache, especially my thighs! I think it's due to the crazy stretching exercises! ABC meeting was pretty good as well, I'm excited for our first ever BWOC in kr! :D Teehee.

And I'm really suffering from very serious withdrawal symptoms! :( HELP ME!!! :( I completed You're beautiful in three days omg it's super niceeee! Withdrawal symptoms are as bad as when BOF's ended! I feel it! My whole brain is just filled with Hyung-nim!!! It doesn't help when my alarm and message ringtones are You're beautiful OST songs. This feeling is terrible!! :( Everyone please go watch You're beautiful if you're very free now, besides it's the holidays!!! I really want to do things that I enjoy very much this holidays because when next sem starts, it's going to be another crazy sem (I've mentioned this so many times) and I'll really miss my dramas till we reunite again after finals in may! AW.

Results will be out on 22nd Dec. I'm scared! :/ How not to be. I'll be checking my results once I arrive in US. I need to make sure I SU whatever modules I need to.

I will still choose to thank God!

-RAMBLES.

I'm definitely enjoying my holidays! :D i love to nuaaaaaa and just slack around and finally!! like finally! i'm watching tv shows and online videos! haven't gotten a chance to sit down with my family and relax and enjoy tv shows ever since uni started! holidays are the best! :D anyway i think i've been watching gong xin ji way too fast, so i shall put it to a stop for now and continue tonight! dad signed me up for EOS 500D canon complimentary course since i'm the only one who's free today :/ i'm a bit scared though. i'm quite a loser when it comes to things like this so i really hope i won't embarrass myself later.

i'm really excited about US trip! :) flying for 17hours in the sky! I CAN'T WAIT!!! :D but for now, i think i need to accomplish some stuffs before leaving like packing up my damn messy room, meeting up with friends and planning my timetable for next sem! i want a nice timetable! :D hopefully it won't be as screwed up as this sem's! haha i'm still thinking if i should minor in econs and i'm wondering if 3 core modules + 2 econs modules will be damn stressful a not. HOWWW! And maybe I should start clearing up my gem modules! so much to think about. i'm not looking forward to next sem though, school + cca + hall. Oh my tian I'm not sure if i can handle it.

This is such a redundant post! Oh wells.

i'm not a child but my heart can still dream!

Feel so accomplished now! :D We must really play hard this dec holidays because next sem will be another crazy sem and I do not wish to think about it! Monday I met up with ah jia and we had super yummy dinner at aji teh! :) Lots of catching up woohoo I think that's great! Tuesday I caught two movies! Mulan with dudu, stella and jieying and we bumped into fern and you know who. Mulan was niceeee even though I'm not a zhao wei fan but she acted really well in the show and I was so sad when xiao hu died! :( Watched 2012 with block people after eating at chomp chomp! :D ME LOVE CHOMP CHOMP TTM!!! Stingray was absolutely satisfying! 2012 was damn scary and sad! I think tammy and I freaked out the most while the others laughed during the movie! How is that even possible!? Wednesday was funnn! ABC went to ikea for christmas shopping after our meeting! We even skyped with ziyi! OMG high tech leh! :D Hahaha. And ziyi's expression was damn funny! Ikea shopping was fun too I laughed so so so hard at this uncle who helped us take a group photo! He's damn funny! Dinner at Mr Curry wheee it was nice but not worth the money really. Portion was so small but I managed to bump into shangfei at clarke quay! :) SO YOU YUAN! While the rest of them went to club, the remaining four of us camwhored at clarke quay and orchard! :D IT WAS SUPER FUN!!! :D And it's free! Hahahaha. We really zi high-ed all the way but I love the photos and the company that night! Dim Sum supper after that. Free car ride back but joseph is a violent driver! Our lives were at risk but definitely thrilling! Dudu came back on thurs, almost the same time as me! Met up with kahyan and graciemoonie and we had crystal jade porridge! I LOVE THEIR PORRIDGE! So schweet! :D Haha. Shopping trip with sissypok on fri and talked till 6am. :) Co camp on sat but I only went for a few hours, I had quite a bit of fun during ice breakers! :) Then I moved out at 3pm.
