I know if I tag other people they will brush it off as an immature act of bloggers. But I like doing tags. Makes me feel self-centered.

I wish peace and love to be upon you for the year ahead.

Overboard

I've found my calling in life! To be Justin Timberlakes' personal assistant.

So. How was your Christmas? Mine was okay. Very glittery and red, if you know what I mean. I got lots of presents which made me very happy. I gave some cards to some people too. It was a rush job really.
If you think we celebrate Christmas for the snow and Santa Claus, we don't. We celebrate Christmas as the day God sent a Saviour to the world, that he die 33 years later for all of us so that whoever believes in Him can and will receive eternal life in paradise. Oh, call it typical of a Christian if you want, but that is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth that we say-that if you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you, you'd go to Heaven.
Christmas was joyful this year.

We had a slumber party the other night. What we didn't know was that the invitees were automatically the comittee for next year's big girls-only event. No, it's not Be That Girl (it's not on for next year I heard). It's.....Royalty!!! The all-girl event you, yes, you girl, should look forward to next year. (Okay, so it's not actually called Royalty, but I like that song, sue me).


Your assignment for today, before 2007 ends is to write a sentence or two (and post in comments) with the following phrase:
"O how we acted like kids"


Before the lines get jammed I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year for 2008!

Colossians 1:16-17
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

NS update Ep. 1

Khadijah says:
anyway, iona called this morning
Sha says:
what'd she say?
Khadijah says:
nothing really.
Khadijah says:
the camp sucks.
Khadijah says:
the people suck
Khadijah says:
the food suck
Khadijah says:
the bathroom suck
Khadijah says:
the schedule suck
Sha says:
serious?
Khadijah says:
and no cute guys.
Khadijah says:
uh, sort of.
Khadijah says:
but mostly she said the people there suck la.
Sha says:
she didnt make any friends?
Khadijah says:
she's having a hard time making friends with people.
Sha says:
gosh how come?
Khadijah says:
she's a banana. and chineses there speak chinese.
Sha says:
oh come on
Khadijah says:
the one that could speak the best english, speaks with a broken grammar
Khadijah says:
she found 3 friends,
Khadijah says:
but the 'authorities' separate them in different dorms.
Khadijah says:
and she tried making friends with the malays,
Khadijah says:
but she told me, "no wonder the malays 'pulaukan' you, khadi"
Khadijah says:
"that's because they
Khadijah says:
are so close-minded and hypocritical"
Khadijah says:
and she said she really felt alone there.
Sha says:
ohmygoodness
Sha says:
why are they like that?
Khadijah says:
because malays that don't mix with other races unlike *cough*me*cough* memang like that.
Khadijah says:
they just stick to their kind.
Sha says:
waaaah serious ah i didnt know that
Khadijah says:
and she said the blankets have HOLES IN IT.
Khadijah says:
LOL
Khadijah says:
She told me, " What sort of blanket has holes in it???"
Khadijah says:
and the food seriously sucks that for once, EVER, she didn't have the appetite to eat.
Khadijah says:
the 'fried rice' was plain white rice with ONE green pea in it.
Sha says:
already sounds bad...but i'm sure it'd get better...tho shannon's fren also told her that it sucks
Sha says:
hahahaha funny fried rice
Khadijah says:
more to disgusting.
Khadijah says:
haha!

Oh, and if you do kena NS, don't try entering the communal bathroom with a towel because the people are going to laugh at you. That's what she told me. Go naked and have fun bathing with other naked girls.

I do think that everything is what you make it to be. If you go to NS with the "NS sucks" attitude, you'd only give yourself a hard time the first week or so.

And I also believe that if you expect NS to be tonnes of fun and try your very best to make at least one close friend there, it will be very fun.

Khadijah says:
i tell you, those people who says NS rawks,
Khadijah says:
it's either they're lying
Khadijah says:
or they don't have a real life back home.
Khadijah says:
like maybe he's a geek or something.
Khadijah says:
because it's not fun and so not close to being so 'rock' as they claimed it to be.
Sha says:
come on lah
Sha says:
at the end of the camp i assure you iona will cry cos she doesn't want to go homw
Sha says:
home

Iona, I assure you, on March 11 you will be crying your girly eyes out, wailing, "Why NS so short wan?!!!"

It's all in the mind. The first day is always the hardest and the suckiest but after you get a hang of it, you will enjoy it very much, minus the waking up at the crack of dawn part.

after enchanted, everyone burst into "i've been dreaming of a true love's kiss"

I have to be the last person on this immediate blogshpere to watch Enchanted and the first to be looking forward to the combination of Capt. Jack Sparrow, Prof. Snape, Corpse Bride, Peter Pettigrew and Borat in a new movie. Eight words: Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Enchanted
The beginning was too fast for me-it was all woosh woosh wooosh sing song woosh wooosh wooosh get married but yeah, I guess it's supposed to be woooosh woooosh wooosh judging by how Giselle and Edward got married.

Giselle: Oh, it's you.
Prince Edward: Yes, it's me. And you are?
Giselle: Giselle.
Prince Edward: Oh, Giselle! We shall be married in the morning!

The storyline is good and predictable, very enjoyable due to the potrayal of the actors, especially Amy Adams-hahahaha she's so perky and sing-song all the time it's just so LOL.

I do think some parts were very laggy though-like the King and Queen's Ball. Some parts were too short, like the animation part at the beginning. I wonder who was Giselle wearing at the ball.
My favourite scene is the musical in the park-oh man it looked like a scene from a Bollywood movie, no?
Here'a a picture of the scene from http://www.flickr.com/photos/tammimarie/ :


The whole movie had a lot of references to Disney movies-Snow White, Sound of Music, etc.
The costumes are lovely. Too bad the aunty sitting behind us had to point it out loudly everytime Giselle wears a new dress. You know, for the benefit of those who don't have the sense of appreciation to realize that these dresses:

are pretty. Uh-HUH. I turned around a few times to "SSSssshh!" the ongoing conversations and to ask the lady behind me if she'd kindly stop kicking the back of my chair.

By the way I had a career counselling session with my parent's friends the other day and found out that this certain dentist makes 300k per month judging by her schedule. Also, if you take risk management in UK or Australia and get hired by a bank upon graduation, you will earn lots of money in the future.

Yes, money is tempting. Yes, we need money to survive. But life is not all about money. Money cannot generate the warmth that you need that love can.

Luke 12:15
Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

I want my life to be fulfilling...and I don't think money can do it. Memories, love, family, friends, anything can fill it but not money. Please! But that doesn't mean I'm not considering SAM.

Merry christmas, to those who INSIST that they be wished upon visiting this blog. Yes, that means YOU.
1 John 4:9-10
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

frus-tu-ra-ted

I took 74 pictures with my phone in the last two weeks and guess what? Out of the 74 beautiful detailed 2MP pictures I could have gotten, I only have 3 2MP pictures. The rest are in VGA. AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very frus lah! I took SO MANY pretty pictures I was planning to load on Flickr and blog about, but since they are in VGA I don't think I'll do that. AIYOH GERAM MENGGILA MAN!!!! Shortchanged lah.

I hope the idiot that changed my phone's camera resolution to VGA wasn't me.

Anyway. Hm. Iona's going off to NS this Saturday, so I can't read any more of her funny blog posts for 3 months.

(Sing along to the tune of Hey There Delilah)
Hey there Iona
What's it like in Hornbill city?
Girl today you must be sweaty
And we're not there to see you use the M-16
Thank God for that or we'll get hurt
Oh yes we will
Chorus:
Oh why you kena pick(x4)

Okay. So my cousin had a wedding dinner the other day. Sorry lah, I never knew her. You know how it's like in Chinese families-one from this side and another from the other.
There were 5 photo albums on the reception table-ranging from extremely big to notebook size. Mom said the cost for all of that was RM 10K. Laugh your butts off. RM 10K. That can sponsor my education for a good year or two.

Anyway. The qualities of the pictures are seriously good, maybe because the bride worked in the photo shop and the groom is a photographer. I know, what a great combo right? There was a picture which had apples and a black background mimicking that Japanese anime which I will not mention the name due to certain reasons. There was also a collection of pictures shot at the beachside-all very nice and tastefully done, almost F4 like.

The photos so far are the best I've seen-very interesting and captured every moment nicely. There were even videotapers (lol) at the entrance to tape every guest entering and exiting. My cousin: (After looking through all the pictures) I want to get married also!

saturday

You expect me to believe that? Eh tolonglah, even I'm not that gullible. You're the one with the brains right, use it lah. Seriously!

Colossians 3:12-Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.



Today's Christmas party at YE was really really fun. Actually I wasn't supposed to attend it, but by God's grace I did, yay.

There were food, laughter, gift-wrapping, gift-snatching and even a big dancing bunny to celebrate Christmas. I must say the people behind the party did a great job-from the lights to the dangling ornaments hanging from the ceiling, especially the lonely-looking snowman at the corner with a fake carrot nose. The cupboard area was covered with mahjong paper to create a snowy atmosphere but it didn't work 'cos vandals wrote and drew stuff on it.
I saw Shannon there-her hair's all straight and brownish gold now. Very fatt.


Don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, or the day after, but

Christmas in four days-

To: You

Some things I don't understand
Like why do you need a man
To fix your broken dreams
When he doesn't have the means?

He is not your Superman
So stand, woman, stand
So that you may decide
The ultimate choice that is right

I'd trade my favourite purple pumps
To not see your emotions clumped
Over a guy you just met
Who, with words, had made you sad

He will go on to explain
Why he did that, again and again
But it's up to you to believe
And the truth you'll have to sieve.


For the record, I do not own purple pumps. I do not like pumps. I think they are overrated comebacks from the seventies which found its way back into this new era along side the oversized oval glasses and hippy loose polka and psychadelic patterned clothes which have now dominated the streets all over Klang.

Oh yes, sure, they look nice when you've got that seevnties hairstyle to go along with it, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing lah.

But yes, they look more presentable than the emo goths, punks and lalas of the town. I still think that the seventies look makes a person look waay older than she is supposed to be. Matured, yes, older, definitely.

Jeans and t-shirts are timeless. Like certain forms of music. *cough*

If you ever take me out to eat, I will eat and not complain about my weight

What do you think of Nickelback's Saving Me?

Into The Night (Santana and Chad Kroeger)
Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angles sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

Hahaha no more chatbox. I don't know how to put it back and don't think I will-it's such an unnecessary necessity. Comment only lah.

This holidays are not so fun for me. So many things lined up everyday-like the past few days I've been waking up at the ungodly holidays hour of 7am to put on make up. Gaaaaahhhh I dislike make up.

Shannon, you went to the same edu fair as I did on Sunday! Did you see Cerdwin there? I didn't see you lah, but I saw her...And Su Ling, when I gave my handphone number to your college, I thought they'd be like other colleges-not calling, etc, but mana tau the other day I was on the KTM a girl rang me up! She was like "So have you made your choice yet?" as if anyone could make a future-altering choice of deciding what to do after SPM that easily! I mean, you need, at the very least, two weeks to consider all your options!

And I don't know if she was being friendly or promotional, but she kept asking me when I was free so that I could go down to KDU to check out the campus. Gosh. That was WEIRD. And too friendly lah. Sorry to say. After reading all of your blog posts on KDU, Su Ling, I've decided not to consider KDU too deeply.

Taylor's as usual went all out with their artsy fartsy stuff to draw more rich students there. I mean, their booth, though it stood out, stood out like an unhumble sore thumb. I avoided it at all cost.

However, at the fair (Which I went with three other friends), I also noticed many things. Like, the XPAX booth had pretty girls with long, 3 feet hair wearing itsy bitsy little teeny weeny white mini skirts. That was just plain exploitation of women. Anyway. Daryl, Khadi and I went to the booth and signed up for the free SIM pack. We (or rather, I) complained loudly (but no too loud) about the lack of cute guys at that particular telco booth. I mean, seriously! If there's cute girls to attract guys, what's stopping Celcom from hiring extremely cute guys to attract girls?

On another note, when I went home that day, my mom told me the free SIM pack plus the RM5 talktime was just a marketing ploy, which I already knew, but what I didn't know was that you'd be BILLED for subscription fees every month after you activate it. Boo the purple telco which tries to cheat unsuspecting teenagers!!!! Booo!!!!

I do have two colleges which drew my interest-Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA-Hahahaha) and Raffles Design Institute. MIA offers all arts stuff-design, music, fine art, etc. Raffles-well, I only know it because it was the place where they shot Project Runway Malaysia. I didn't know Felix came from that institute!



Take care everybody!

Phil 4:8-Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Follow Him

"They think it's special. What's behind your back?"

It's a place where they sell pasta, chicken and mushroom gourmet pie, a coffee called vienna, club sandwich, roasted beef sandwich, salads, etc. There's also shakes and iced drinks, and for the kids, "Fluffy Koala" and "Squashed Frog". So far I've not tasted any caffeine beverages yet.

Anyway. I saw some stuff in Rock Corner that I'd like to spend my money on, but I know I've got to be wise and not splurge on the things which will not give benefits nor interests to me. It's still fun mentioning those things though.

First of course is Justin Timberlake's deluxe edition of Futuresex/Lovesounds, available at RM 49.90.

However I am now having second thoughts after I read the reviews on Amazon.com where it only got a measly 2 out of 5 stars. Maybe the next item?

Then we have the absolutely worth-it-at-such-a-price Coldplay CD box set at RM 83.90. (It's called a gift box-just checked with amazon.com)

This box set contains Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head along with a bonus concert DVD. It contains two music CDs and a DVD. Come on, let me hear you say it, "Bargain!".
I'd like to see the concert DVD 'cos apparently, Coldplay are known for being great live performers. I mean, their Singapore concert was sold out lah, and do you know how many citizens are there in Singapore?

Sometimes, after a few days, I have to imagine all of my belongings perishing and destroying in a fire. It's not sadistic.
I mean, all that we have now will dissapear sooner or later, and I don't want to be the emotionally challenged one when something is gone from my grasp. I don't want to bawl my lungs out and cry till my tear ducts are dry when some object is missing. I will never want to be the person who's so attached to a material that my life depends on it, you know what I mean?
It's like, if my life depends on that one thing so much and I know that it'll never get me anywhere, why bother having it in the first place, you know?

Anyway. Imagining all the things that I have gone forever-I have to pray I can stand that. I mean, can YOU stand it? Everything gone just like that?

Everything's not lost when your stuff is gone. I know for a fact I have somewhere and someone else I can go to no matter what the circumstances may be.

Luke 9:23-25
The Jesus said to all the people:
If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself.
You must take up your cross each day and follow me.
If you want to save your life, you will destroy it.
But if you give up your life for me, you will save it.
What will you gain if you own the whole world but destroy or waste your life?

Here's emo looking perky!

take up your cross

It was raining all the way before Hydrowar began. The mountains in the distance were shrouded with a layer of gauze-like clouds and the rain did not look like it was going to stop. Oh, the dissapointment could be felt in the air.
Bernice called for everyone's attention for a short prayer.

We all hung around some more before the rain turned into a drizzle and was no more! Hydrowar is on.

(If planning to use, link me back)
This is the tag from Elmo's World. Elmo stands for Every Lord-loving Man's Opportunity. Yes, at the camp, Elmo was a Christian. So was Spongebob. And aliens. And Cinderella's children.


This one is from Christmas Skyland. They had to wear that all the time and it was quite popular too, at least 3 groups were using it for their skit.


This is part of their banner. X'mas sock for each member, how cute is that?


This is No Name Country's name tag.


Guess who won first place for the tag competition? (Jian Quin and Andy's) Hand colored and each strap braided lovingly. Haha.


Dunkin Donuts? Big Apple Donut n Coffee? Krispy Kreme?


No, it's Kampung Bikini (Obscene) Donut! They used a pillow as the donut filling. haha.


And this is Joannes' and my group...we won 2nd place btw. Tied with Elmo's World. It's not the full name tag...the chain is not on...


A new currency, Grace Dollar was introduced to replace GY Euro due to the war (Hydrowar). The value of GY Euro went down after that, so lots of people were looking for Dollars. The 500 Dollar note is hard to come by (hence the "Now You're talking!" by Pastor Henry on the note) so when I got it I was very ectastic.


The next day, it was announced that due to the war, the GY Euro has been an antique, so 25% is added to its original value when you bank it in. Talk about drama, eh?


Last day of camp
Who's who? (Suba junior and Suba senior)


This is part of the 300+ campers. Janielle is taking a picture.


Just to show you how brightly colored the flowers are at Tanah Rata...




And this guy (http://littlebabymandarins.blogspot.com) described praise and worship aptly. Here's an excerpt:

The bands totaly rocked the crowd with all their songs. I could tell that people would go crazy for Majesty by Planet Shakers. Understandable. It was such a cool tune! Oh, and the I Am A Friend Of God song was really fun and it got the whole crowd jumping and going crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzy!!! After taking a more serious tone, the crowd really got into worshipping Him with all their heart and soul. When Pastor Henry moved around to cast the annointing of His name, I fell on the ground for the very first time in my life. It was so emotional and amazing. I began shedding tears non-stop. The effects of encountering the Lord on such a spiritual level. I even went on my knees during worship because I just wanted to get closer to him and I got lost in His presence. =) I love You, God. Muaaxx! Haha, I know You love me too. XD

I never wanted the P & W to end. Oh well. Like Ps. John said in camp, "All good things must come to an end." But not so fast la, right? =S.. haha

deny yourself

Heard at Grace Youth camp 2007:

"When you drink alcohol, you cannot stand properly, you cannot walk properly, you cannot talk properly. Do you think you can have sex properly?"-Ps. Henry

So many things to talk about the camp. Well, the weather up at Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands was FREAKING cold but lovely at the same time. There's no need for air-cons nor fans and the walls are cold everytime, just like the water.

I thought I had appendititis (that appendix thing) on the last night of camp. I jumped a lot and screamed even more after eating my dinner which was a bad idea, maybe. It was so terrifyingly painful, like punches or a screw turning around in my intestines. Lasted for about one hour during the service. I couldn't even laugh to Pastor Henry's jokes (un-tung-ke-tak-un-tung) without gasping from the pain. Sitting straight, hunched or normally was also bad for my intestines. Goodness it was horrible. Thank God for Cynthia next to me.

The whole time during the sermon I was thinking of the possibilities that could happen: I've been diagnosed with that appendix disease and will have to undergo an operation to take it out. Then I thought about the anaesthesia and the scars after the operation at some random surgery in Cameron.

Then Pastor Henry said "God is always with you. And He will never leave you, even in your worst moments,". I thought, "Does this qualify as a bad moment?"
It still hurt at the end of Pastor's sermon and hurt even when I stood up. However, something happened in that few minutes when Pastor Henry lead us all into a time of prayer for the touch of the Holy Spirit. The pain did not immediately dissapear, though I did not give up asking God to take it away.
I felt something working in my body, and when Pastor Henry prayed for me, I fell. True enough, God is merciful and loving and took the pain away from me when I asked.

Like any other last night at any camp, that last night changed lots of our lives.


Here's the news for the first day.
"Anyway, wouldn't it be weird if guys had implants and everybody just watch it and...touch it? Eeeeww!"

I was laughing the whole time I watched this.
Mmmmm......donuts.

The Christmas deco is up at the church!

Day 6

Today I got the news that my younger sister won 2 tickets to the My Chemical Romance concert. I'm going to rope in her talents to win me some Justin Timberlake tickets next.
Hitz FM is holding this MCR contestlah-and the smart sister has been keeping her ears on that channel since last week.
When I asked her if she prayed for the win, she said :"Since July!" XD God is good, no?
I do not like MCR and I think they are seriously a bad influence for teenagers but well, it's her life and she won the tickets. And no, she's not taking me along to the concert-it's during GY camp lah, a bigger concert than MCR.

Anyway....yup, just wanted to tell you all that. MY GOODNESS the total net amount of prizes she's won in this two years already over exceeds mine in like 5 years! Teenagers can really make the best out of their years. I just hope and pray that it's for the right reasons.

God bless.

Sikit lagi lah...It's very obvious wan! Hai yoh. I promise I won't be emo, or at least too emo. Although...

Doesn't Nemo look like that guy from Panic! At the Disco?


(the recent posts are down there. scroll downlah!)

Kenneth was saying this about the thing: "Why is it so interesting to girls anyway? It doesn't even glow!" (OK, if you think we were talking about the thing that you think we are talking about, well, it's not.)

Do you know who Shannon looks like? Scarlett Johanssen (?). The actress from The Girl With a Pearl Earring. Yeah, the one who looks like Izzie from Grey's Anatomy.

Shannon


Scarlett


Izzie

Which reminds me. You know the prom dress Izzie wore on the finale? Apparently it was designed by this designer called Amsale who was on Oprah. Here's the website: amsale.com

The dress was apparently a white wedding gown, but the people of G.Anatomy wanted it in scarlet (lol) so Amsale & her team had to make the same one in scarlet a.s.a.p.

Now I know why some guys like to blog about cars and football. It's like why girls like me like to blog about sappy soap operas and fashion.

d.i.e. lah d.i.e. lah

Okay today's post will be a photography post.
By using the daylight white balance on the camera phone, you will get a picture like this on a nice sunny day:

I think it looks kind of fluoroscent-ish and very bold.
But if you use the cloudy setting, it will look much prettier, warmer and more 80s-ish.

This is my secret: even indoors I still use the cloudy setting to make everything look rusty and warm.
Here are some other pictures I took with the cloudy setting:




Khadi's mum made these^. Fuish, amazingly sweet and clumpy, like how a chocolate mascara would taste like!

Thank you very much for hosting the party Cher! Cher's mum made this, which was adorable 'cos there were little orange slices in them:


1 John 4:11-12 (I like this scripture a lot-very easy to understand)
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Complete the love by loving me! I mean us!

Oh menyusahkan betul! Kalaulah pertolongan saudari Yin Xian diberi pada kes ini, sudah tentu saya tidak akan berada di sini, memblogging dengan bodohnya. Tidak mengapa! Kerana saya tahu semuanya boleh 'sap sap sui' punya.

I've been reading Kenangan2 Seorang Geisha. I read it faster in BM. Not planning to re-read the thing in English. Very emo lah when it's in BM.

Amatlah memanaskan cuaca hari ini. Jika saudari mempunyai masalah dengan kata-kataku yang jujur, silakan saudari menghembus nafas dengan perlahan-lahan agar segala kekusutan di minda saudari dapat dihilangkan.

Dan jika saudari Nana sedang membaca, saya amatlah berterima kasih jika saudari boleh meninggalkan 'link' saudari di chatbox saya agar saya dapat me'link' balik kepada blog saudari.

Pada pendapat saya, blog saudari Su Ling amatlah menarik untuk dibaca kerana ia serupa dengan diari seseorang remaja. Kadang kala post-postnya begitu kelakar sehingga saya ketawa lebih daripada blog Kenny Sia.

There was this one time in our pre-teen lives I'm sure, my closest friends and I lived on the song Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson. You know that song? Yah...that one.
We thought it was all about no-boyfriends stuff. Whatever.
I still think Kelly Clarkson is a great singer.
But at the end of Ms I, she got a guy.

Fast forward two years later...Miss Independent told her guy to Walkaway! All the preteen singletons rejoiced. Dang right they did, preteens are NOT supposed to couple up. Even teens for that matter. Don't tell me that crap that we need experience before going into the world.
You get your only one heart broken after every heartbreak, and you tell me it's to make you stronger? Who are you, Kanye West? Your heart will break so many times you will end up without a heart at the end of the day. I don't see the LURVE in that.

And even better. Kelly Clarkson came up with Never Again, the ultimate emoish break up song (to me lah) of 2007! I thought that would at LEAST KNOCK some sense into my friends' minds to control themselves from getting a bf/gf at their school year, but NOOO....Look who had to couple up during the SPM trials.

Say goodbye to your freedom! Say it! SAY IT!

There are SO MANY more fishes in the big blue sea. Don't trap yourself to just the fishes you see now.


Today's post was inspired by a quote I heard in church. Sue me!

December 1 was World AIDS Day. Did you know that?

Here are some facts from UNICEF:
HIV is not transmitted by everyday contact.
HIV is not transmitted by: hugging, shaking hands; casual, everyday contact; using swimming pools, toilet seats; sharing bed linens, eating utensils, food; mosquito and other insect bites; coughing, sneezing.

Everyone deserves compassion and support.
Discriminating against people who are infected with HIV or anyone thought to be at risk of infection violates individual human rights and endangers public health.
Everyone infected with and affected by HIV and AIDS deserves compassion and support. (Article 2 of the Convention on the rights of the child).




GAAAAAHHH I've felt 32 kinds of stress in the last two days. 32! That is a new record.
Well. I went to pre-camp. The powers that be said that they were extra hard working this year, having cybercops and all to watch what we were doing. I bet they used the Google blogs. (I use it all the time HAHAHA)

Tuesday is the last paper then I will be off with a minimal amount of cash to look for crucial objects I might need for this one week or two. Hmm. Today's the 2nd. Anybody put their Xmas tree up yet?

The news that I kena came to me about 25 minutes before the meeting started.
Was I angry? Yes. Some were informed during VBS itself, so obviously being the person that I am, I do feel left out. Why is it that they know earlier? Why couldn't everyone be notified at the same time?
By them being notified DAYS earlier, they had a BIG headstart and could've even started on the tags already. Goodness.
This is so sad. I need a free canvas. And some free Swarvoski diamonds. HAHAHA.

I will be off to D.I.E!!! with many other people.
And Sam, if you're wondering, yes, I AM mad at you. In a good way. Deep down inside I am asking myself, "Since when did your friends become more important than God?".

God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of Christ Jesus.-Galatians 6:14
