Happy Birthday July 17, 2009

So last night I started blogging and obviously forgot why I logged in in the first place! So even though its one day late, I know my best friend will forgive me:D

Way better than boogey monsters

Happy birthday best friend(: I can’t believe how long we’ve been friends, since Pri3 which is like, 10 YEARS. WOWWWW. scary much? We’ve gone through so much together, and even though I’ve done so many silly things, you’ve forgiven me each and every time. I thank God for you each and every time I think about you because I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re absolutely amazing, crazy fun, wild, weird, not afraid of being yourself, comfortable in your own skin, silly, funny, crazy, I can’t think of any more adjectives that describe what I’m trying to say. But, Sim Yin Hui, I LOVE YOU TO BITS. You’re always there for me and telling me what I need to hear, and not what I want to hear. Honesty! That’s what I forgot. And trustworthy and kind and generous and sweet and absolutely crazy. We’ll have a crazy sleepover soon okay! The one last night DOESN’T COUNT. I wasn’t there and Jacinth’s too far away. We’ll do one next sem, and when Jacinth comes over!(: OH OH! WHEN WE’RE ALL BACK IN SINGAPORE. Yes! But anyways, boogey monster, I love you so much and I’d let you drive me anywhere:D Provided you pass your driving first and I want to sit in front. There are airbags. heh.

I love you, the best friend who’s always there and doesn’t pick up my INTERNATIONAL birthday calls just because you’re watching a movie. (:

xoxo

Freedom is here July 8, 2009

The future comes alive
You speak Your word and I
I’m running into Your hope
Because I’ve seen Your light
You bring my world to life
I’m coming after Your love

I’m not shaken
I’m not letting go

And everything comes alive
In my life as we lift You higher
Let Your freedom arise
In our lives as we lift You up
Sing it out
Sing it out
Your freedom is here

So take the limits off
No matter what the cost
I’m running after Your call
And I will run this race
See You face to face
So let Your power overflow

I will not fear
I will not hide Your love
Your love
All of my life
I cannot deny Your love
Your love

So take the limits off
No matter what the cost
I’m running after Your call
And I will run this race
See You face to face
So let Your power overflow

’cause they were all yellow. June 29, 2009

Hello from singapore!:D its hot and humid, and electricity is expensive. i had yummy food the past few days though, and i’m pretty satisfied for the time being. Other than that, loving the fact that the stove is now gas and not electric! Cooked lunch for mom and myself and now I’m going to load up on disney channel. My room has changed, ALOT. My nice big old table has been thrown away and now i’ve got the tiny ikea table and billy the bookcase. Also, I’ve now got an alcove to read my books! which is pretty awesome. My room is huge! as compared to the one in melb which is taken up by like the queen size bed.

It feels so good to finally be back in singapore and staying in my own room. Heard that the melbourne weather is nice and sunny and cooling. I like being back home, its comfortable being around things that you’ve known your entire life. back to familiarity. can’t wait for tues, lunch with the melb people! Okay, disney channel and korean dramas are calling me. bye:D

we are living to lift your name high June 24, 2009

2 days til exams are over, 3 til I’m only that flight home. I’m so over these stupid exams what with people starting after, ending and leaving before me! Just slightly jealous that you guys get to go out and have fun whilst I’ve to stay at home and study for some silly paper which I don’t even want to go for. No way am I taking math again next semester. I’d like to take a fun subject for once, and not something that people will stare and go, ‘Huh? You’re taking calculus? Vector Calculus?’ But, its my last paper and it was fun learning it. So I must say that as much as I hate this stupid subject, it was fun, to a certain extent. I hope they decide to cancel exams at the last minute, this way I can get my grade from my assignments alone.

Honestly speaking, I’m actually quite afraid of this last paper. I don’t know half of what my lecturer was talking about whilst he was teaching, and I have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t remember any formulas or the application of formulas. Math isn’t about remembering formulas and methods, its about understanding the concept behind the formula, and then when it comes to the question, its the simple application of the concepts. Problem: I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS! I love the feeling of solving a problem, and knowing that you did it correctly. Math is the only subject that you can get full marks for, and the only subject that isn’t dependent on how you phrase your opinion. If you know what I mean. Or rather, at least for simple math it is, engineering is a different story altogether!

I shall now stress out over a question, and then get that sense of satisfaction and happiness when I finally solve it and get the correct answer. Oh dear, I think I’m gonna do math next semester again.

sugar cookies June 17, 2009

I will make cookies tomorrow. I’m already dreaming about the smell of them when they come out of the oven. That sweet sweet aroma. I wonder what God’s favorite smell is. Oh gosh, its 4! Where did my 3 hours go to?!

Tomorrow’s exam is going to go so very well, I can just feel it(:

Faith June 10, 2009

You know how the enemy is always like there, tempting you and telling you stupid lies? I’m picking up my sword of the Spirit and I’m gonna fight against the enemy, swinging it left right and centre until he understands that he can’t come near me.

Today’s urbs was super good, as usual:D And the thing is that like I guess it was something that I needed too. Like, seriously, faith is so extremely important and no one can live without it. Trust too! Even the slightest bit of faith is all you need, and that’s it. Honestly, I’ve had so many of these like lonely nights, like the feeling that I don’t have any friends and all that jazz. The feeling that I can’t do this, I can’t carry on. But the thing is that all you need to do is to tell the enemy to go away. The other night I was feeling exceptionally down for some reason or another and then I told the enemy to go out of my room, out of my apartment and like straight away, that feeling went away. It was seriously, the most awesome feeling ever.

I have no idea what’s gonna happen next, but I know that God will always be there. No matter what. He never leaves my side.

To everyone who’s got exams: Relax and trust God, He always provides. And, like seriously, He was the one that came up with the concept of econs, cost management, OB, psych, chem, physics, engineering etc so don’t you think you should go and ask Him for the answers? Love ya’ll larr. :D

No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

cao nai cha with pearls June 7, 2009

I carry your heart with me.
I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it.
Anywhere I go, you go, my dear.
And whatever is done by only me, is your doing, my darling.
I fear no fate,
for you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world.
For beautiful, you are my world… my true.
Here is the deepest secret no one knows.
Here is the root of the root
And the bud of the bud.
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life
Which grows higher than the soul can hope
Or mine can hide.
It’s the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart.
I carry it in my heart.

aren’t poems just the sweetest things? I haven’t finished reading my book of letters from great men, but so far its been really good. I should have finished it long ago, but yet, I have not.

Australia has reached 1000 cases of swine flu, with Victoria having 800+. In case you didn’t know, Australia has 6 states and 2 territories. Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory. Just some general knowledge. Melbourne, is in Victoria. Its the city.

So two of my friends are going to Perth for further studies, silly idea since Perth is like, quiet. But, they’re gonna have heaps of fun:D for sure!

Seriously, its so dry to listen to lecturers go on and on and on. In future, will start listening to ilectures earlier.
