I had the weirdest dream ever.

Rulin was on a stage similar to the one I remembered from Hillsong Conference.
She was playing a guitar and worship-leading at the same time. Like Brook Fraser.

That was part 1.

I was supposed to meet Grace, Ah Neh, Lucas and Wayne to head to Malaysia for dinner.
I ended up going somewhere else with Audrey and another person to have waffles buffet that had kueh pai tee and something else.
Then I went to some Chinese New Year festival garden that was massively crowded with fun rides and people and Chinese New Year statues.
Took this train ride which made me stuck under some tunnel.
Then somehow I got out of the tunnel and I met Grace. I was more than 2 hours late or something.

That was part 2.

BUT ANYWAY. I did go to Malaysia for real. With the same people.
Fantastic food. At a much cheaper price.
And we each bought a balloon kinda thingy. And ended up giving to random kids. Feels nice to be a saint. Haha.

The really funny thing was the difference between the Malay and Chinese parents' reactions.
The Malay parents - Cautious initially, walked away for a bit, then smiled and asked the kids to say thank you and take the balloon after we insisted for like a minute.
The Chinese parents - The first question, "Need to pay or free?". The second question, "Can we take 2?"

OMG. Seriously.

Anyhoo. I realised all the Christmas photos I took show the extra weight I've put on. Yuck.
TIME FOR A RUN.

Anyhoo anyhoo. Happy new year to all! 2009 is gonna be another great year. :):):)
Faith in the living God takes away the fear in the living.

Smiles.

I'm satisfied with my results. FOR ONCE. :):):):)
And I can finally tell my mom how well I really did for my exams.
And my cap went up pretty drastically. Still third class. BUT. I'm happy. At least I see positive increment.

Thank You God. So muchos love.
Just hope Wayne's parents won't kick up a fuss about his grades. Sigh.

These few days were fun. Hanging out and shopping and manicure-ing.
I don't want school to start. NOOOOOOOOOO...

Results.

Gonna be out in a few hours. I'm scared. BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

ANYWAY.
I wished I brought a camera to meet Liting and the rest earlier.
Man was it fun. Haha. Got high on lemon tea, while the rest beer-ed. Felt like a kid who's not allowed to drink. :)

Now I don't know when I should just stop abstaining from alcohol. Want to ask God for a sign. But I don't even know if I should do that.

Resolution no. 1 for 2009. Finish reading the Mike Pilavachi book.
Resolution no. 2. Save up for Down Under trip. (This is the do or die resolution.)

More to come. I think. :)

Another fantabulously good guy got snagged (is that the word?). Conan is attached. Oh my gawd. Not that it's a surprise; he has a fan club. But anyway, happeeeee for you Conan. :):):)

Patrick.

Seeing Patrick again in the photos. Cute.
But somehow, I feel uncomfortable looking through the pictures.
I'm glad that you're doing well though.
Despite the fact that you dislike/hate me. From the last time I checked.

Anyway.
Conan's back! Liting's coming back soon too! Woohoo. :)
And Wayne's in Bangkok. I'm utterly jealous.

This year's Christmas seems more special. Last year's Christmas was a little shiat-ified. With the quarrels and fights and tears. Blah.
Thank You God.

The sudden urge.

To jam with the TWW peeps.
I miss them. Especially Liting and Conan.
Sigh.

Christmas!

Another eventful year passed. One of the best years I've had so far, despite a little shiat here and there.

Things I want to do before the year ends:

• Have dinner with Grace (with Lucas and Ah Neh too, if they're not mad at me for MIA).
• Have a decent meal with the family before dad goes back.
• Have another decent meal with the CG.
• Have yet another meal/party/meet-up with Liting, Daphne etc.

It's all about food. :)

But yes, there are other things I want to do before the year ends:

• Replace the battery in the $5 chinese red watch which I absolutely love.
• Buy a watch from Muji with is absolutely simple and nerdy-ish-classy.
• Buy a lock-and-lock tupperware for Rup's absolutely precious recorder.
• Find a couple who's interested in a holiday in Australia in July. Absolutely unlikely though.
• Play more squash and badminton to lose some pounds, which will absolutely boost my self-esteem.

and lastly,

• Buy more presents for the right people to make them feel loved this Christmas.

I hope I get many many presents. :)

Wee Lee.

Interesting time at Wee Lee. And half the time there I had no clue what the heck I was playing. Like chords with diminished stuff here and there. So that's how they do it. Screw a chord up with sharps here and flats there. Cool.

Yet again. It's going to be a boring Friday. UGH. All my fridays are exceedingly monotonous and boring. Which somehow makes the weekend look bleak.

A little update. Don't think I'm getting the cool moo-la job. Argh.
How disappointing.

A tribute to Muffin.

You were the fiercest hamster I've ever seen.
You shat everywhere; you even built a mini shit-nest.
You drink loads of water; peed a few times in the food-dish.

But you were the most active hamster I've ever seen.
You became toilet-trained and you love the toilet so much that you bathe in it sometimes.
The way you bathe in the bathing sand dish always makes me go 'aww'.
Your fur has the nicest shade of grey and brown.

I'm sorry I wasn't around during your last few hours, Muffin.
And I miss you already.

IKEA.

Today we're gonna have a short trip to IKEA to check out furniture and things we need to recreate Wayne's room. I may not be as creative as the architecture students, BUT we thought out this really cool layout for the room. Too bad there isn't enough space for Guitar Hero. Or is there?

Went to Youth Camp last night. Saw many young people; don't know the majority of them. Which is a good sign. This year felt a little different. Which is also a good sign. Kudos to the camp commitee. And God of course.

The prayer room works wonders.

An hour in the room.
Silent air-con running.
Silence.
Singing.
Praying.

That was the best alone time I got this year.

Please pray for me, cause I may landing a tuition job which will be a massively ka-ching success. Alright, not literally massive. But it'll majorly help the financial situation for the Down Under trip.

And if I don't get it, I'm quite screwed.
God help me.
