thank God that He provided me with a job which i can have quite flexible timing. though it's telemarketing, the job scope is only to update the profile of companies. (: yea... there will be rude people, but i pray that i will be able to handle it. (:
i went to cityhall with regina for lunch and halfway, we saw G2000-blu having sale! a top for $6! woah! the cheapest shirts u can ever find. i bought 2 tops and then went for lunch. wanted to help pravin to sign up for his gym thing but we couldn't find his company so we decided to go off. i rushed down to MI and saw that they're going to have a camp in march. (: but i couldn't go anymore because of my job. (: but if they need me, i'll still be there!! :D
i decided to go to guna lao shi's house for cny visitation. reached at about 8 plus and the dinner and desert was great. i should learn how to cook those dishes. their neighbour helped them though. ahaha.
we watched the lutheran reformation. though i know the story quite well, there are afew reminders for me that as christians, we should live our faith solely by the Word of God. we should also learn to discern the truth because we could now read the bible. there's is still much more to learn when it comes to discerning the truth and we ought to be more careful as things put forward to one is more subtle now. i hope i could borrow it so that i can let GAP see it and learn it too. (:

something interesting i thought i would like to share. i went on visitations on monday and i asked my parents how many siblings does my grandfather has because for all i know, there are only 4 siblings in my grandparents heritage. then i realise something REALLY interesting. my dad said my grandfather has about 12-13 siblings! wow!!! due to circumstances at that era, great grandparents had to give them away because they couldn't support 13-14 children financially. so yes-- James Ow could most probably be my cousin. wanna check DNA? ;)

i'm beginning to get lazy to update because everyday is almost the same except for some minor details. unless it's reallly interesting. :/ oh wells. can't find a job though it has been a long time that i signed up for bring a private tutor. so... i'm thinking of changing job. telemarketing??? it has never cross my mind before. i shall give it a try then. that's the best job so far that has flexible enough timing. so with this job, i have to sacrifice helping AKE for some days and doing contact work. not that i wont be able to serve GAP, but i think wai ling would be angry. but still, it's better to have a job than not to have one. it keeps me occupied. (:

hayppy lunar new year eve!! yea! went to church today and brought the shawls that i bought from chinatown yest to give yuan and wen ling. i'm glad they like it. service was short today and we manage to go to aunty Wee Lee's house to help make jiao zi- chinese dumplings. (: i've learnt yet another skill though i still need more practice to attain that perfection.
we're finally talking but i dun know if u are still angry with me. maybe this "new friendship" of ours will never be the same again.
nice hair- you! very "cool" indeed. (:
i'm now in my cousin's house for reunion dinner! it's the time for gathering! :) and i learnt how to cook chilli crab. wahaha. i need more practice to cook it myself. (: yay! way to go!
1/25/2009 06:26:00 PM
i went for dinner with my family and relatives today. (: the food was great and my appetite was small because of the class gathering just now. oh wells. went to chinatown to walk anyways. it's super squeezy. it's no different from bugis street. then i went home and my mom went to buy lilies! i can smell it from here. (: i love lilies. lol. no hint.
thank God that there's hope. my hope is fulfilled and my prayers are answered again. (: yay! just keep talking... just keep talking...

supposed to wake up early today to go marketing and get a flu jab. but then i overslept. oh wells. met up with the rest in 06S3. glad that we get together again. (: then i went with chu ting to buy presents in compass point. oh wells.
i'm glad things are okay on your side. i thought u came back having to do what u were supposed to do but u didn't. i guess u hate me well enough to even not talk to me. i was hoping that things would be like what cheryl said about friendship but i guess not for your case because i know how things are like in your case because i know your character too well. maybe u had made a grave mistake for letting me know your top agent secret because u didn't know that i was like that. i'll still be praying for u though, that maybe your condition may be better?? i don't know. not that i dun believe that He can't work miracles. i guess that's all about it already. no more friendship, no more friend. leave it as it is, or someday, u will change your mind and perhaps even forgive me. perhaps...
1/24/2009 06:51:00 PM
yay! i woke up pretty early today and cooked my 2nd and 3rd dish... much more to learn! got to wake up early tml and go market with my mom. i feel so aunty... lol. nevertheless, it's a skill for life. (:
so after all the hassles in the house, i left to meet mandy and meiwen for shopping cos mandy is in need of a top! yes... stop disturbing me!! grr... u are forgiven though, becase i know u were just teasing me. (:
went off to church to help out in the cooking. (: it's nice to know liu lei and Yao qi better as we cook with the other girls like gloria, jasmine and xiao hong. (: alrights... i hope to find job soon so that i dun have to rely so much on my parents. it's time to grow up.

went for T7 today. i almost cannot wake up. my mom had to call home. :P anyways, i woke up tired!! and i ate lunch myself in ananas cafe near aljunied mrt station. then i went to MI to help ake.
i boarded 941 and i chose the 3rd last seat. i wasn't looking at people. then i heard my name. and i thought i was halluncinating. i didn't respond. then someone tapped me. guess who?? it's Muhammad. haha! i realised that he was going back to help the soccer team! (: the open house for MI was changed from this saturday to today. oh no... this means that my results would be out soon. :(
surprise, surprise... there was no security guard. lol. walked in and shirley and Christina shouted from the second floor. "MEILING!!!" christina almost jumped off. lol. 2 new yr 1s came today. (: nice knowing them. they'll have to work a little harder for SYF! (: La Cumparsita- Argentine Tango is nice! (: but they need to master their notes faster!! i hope i can go down on friday if i'm free. (: did a card for Galaxy. (: turned out nicer than i expected it to be. (: thank God. lol. after which i rushed down to church for prayer meet. (:
my brother asked me to go down to his school for relief teaching. hmm... i'll have to really consider i guess. (:

went to look for jobs with mei wen today but to no avail. oh wells. as we went to walk around, time passed so quickly that it's 4pm! and i was supposed to meet miss Alicia to collect the new score for AKE.
i rushed down to GAP afterwards and then i get to see those whom i havent meet for along time after GAP camp 2008. haha. seeing the kids (oops) going back to school brought back memories of myself being in MI. ahaha. things had changed so fast, so quickly... nevetheless, i'll stil be back to help out. (:

went to town with lil clique on sat. bought a dress. (: yay! i found found a dress to wear on chinese new year. ( had diploma today for t10 today. i managed to invite wang qin over to the reunion dinner in aunty Wee Lee's place on the 25th. i hope she'll be able to come! (:
i need to get to know her better! (: and i hope that i can share the gospel to her. (: but when it comes to apologetics, i think i may not be able to answer her well enough as my mother tongue is not so good. but nevertheless, i will do my best through God's grace. (: cheers!~

it's friday!! no.. sat already. but then, had syfc's connections event for O'level students who were waiting for their results. the games were fun! when we're returing back to orchard road presbytarian church, i saw jasmine!! woa... saw her put makeup! (: afterwhich i rushed down to church for bible study and learnt alot on spiritual maturity. i felt that today's lesson is an answer from God. (: and i am so encouraged by it. (: gambatte!!
tml i'll be meeting my lil clique! shopping! i really hope i can find something to wear for the new year. i'm so going to be broke again. lol. oh wells. gotta go catch my sleep. so tired. nights!
today is a tiring day!!! oh wells. 1st i had dip lessons for T7. thought that the lesson would roughly be the same but it's a little different! and T7 is challenging. he quite some jokes which were said in T10, but he said other jokes that made me laugh quite often like "you must practice new new new new questions so that when a questions comes out, it's new to everybody but u wont feel so tense... just take a deep breath and read the question again." lol. so funny. oh wells. the good thing is, there is no article to read in T7, but there are questions to do!! x_X ahaha. almost slept in the second half of the lesson.
met james and Liying in causeway point. ate lunch and shopped around. (: i need to get a GC for Jia Xin and james need me to help him to return new moon to yuan. ahaha. after that, i was soo tired that i went home to sleep for about 2 hrs. =_=Zzz lol. then after that i went to prayer meet.
i've learnt a lesson on ministry!! doing God's work is not like how we do it on earth/ humanly. it takes time for one to pray to see where one is guided to serve. afterwhich, one might volunteer to serve. (: it's not a job at all, and no one snatches it from you as stereotypes shouldn't exist. all Christians have something to serve, it's just a matter of where do one think one'll be serving in. (:
so yes, i'll continue praying if there is something more for me to serve, and be content in areas that i am serving currently. (:

heh... i got nothing much today except to settle groceries and to cook lunch. the groceries are heavy and i broke 3 out of 30 eggs on the way home. :s lol. so yes. Jia Xin came over and i gave her my chemistry and maths notes. explaining some chem topics from 12 all the way to 4 plus. got to know how's doing also. (: afterwhich i gotta rush down to for GAP committee meeting. then i went off with regina to IKEA to buy stuff to revamp her house. her dad is real funny. i couldn't stop laughing when i was with them. lol. the next thing i realised that regina inherited the talking-non-stop genes from her dad. but at least what they say were meaningful and encouraging. (: so it's ok i guess. (:

today's the 1st lesson on T7. hmm... i was early by half an hour!! when the class was mostly full, i realised that 90% of them are from China. i think this is such an obvious call!! i hope i can bring someone to church. haha. :P i met this woman, in her forties. her name is Wang Qin. got to know each other during break time. claas wasn't as fearful as i thought. i was fearful because i failed this module before. i'm thankful, on the other hand, that things were taught slower and i can start all over again as if i had never learn it. of course, i'd remember bits and pieces of what i've learnt and it's more of an advantage as i know it before. ahaha. i hope i do better this time! the shocking thing i found today is that a full time student is quite similar to an A'level student. just that the load is MUCH lesser. and guess what?? i have an assignment of pre-reading for next week's lesson!! have to read the articles he gave from pg7-40!! x_X oh wells. i make sure i gotta do better! put in the hard work. lol. i think next lesson on t7 would be roughly the same. i didn't know Mr Manek knows Mr Ben Lee. :S thinking of Ben Lee gives me the creeps. i dun like the way he talks.

just when i thought that i was insignificant, u called my name. that gave me great assurance i guess.
just when i thought i grew up quite well spiritually, u told me i'm still an infant. i felt that i dun belong here when others out there see me grow actually.
i guess i'm different from the others. i dun think anyone sees that. not a single one except God. if only someone could do that... maybe it's God's plan that it doesn't happen.
