a quick update
the past week has been nothing much.
though on
monday my dearest sweetest ade had this dinner for me and conned me.
wee lied to me!! he was supposed to meet kenny after dropping me off with ade.
that little girl blindfolded me and made me walk around rail mall with her looking like someone who's willing to get kidnapped. and every step i took i had to say "i love ade" lest she wouldn't move and i'd be stuck there forever.
she brought me round and round. making me cross the roads. up and down the stairs. into grass patches. up and down slopes. but when i reached the destination (at long last) the smell totally gave the dining place away! haha. i have my nose to my favourite ITALIAN FOOD!! (: the smell of the olive. the ham. the mushrooms. the cakes. i knew it was there.
and guessing the right place isn't enough. she just had to make me guess who's who.
so it was gene on my right. wee on my left. &tim the italian ang moh in front of me.
kenny was working. helmi was fasting. clement's grandmama's birthday was then.
i had spinach flan with baked salmon (: it was superb.
group photo!!
THANKYOU - ade. tim. gene. wee!! (:
turning 18 really is great. you get to have your friends and family celebrating it with you.
though i put on weight throughout my birthday period cos i got a total of 4 birthday cakes with excellent food.
thankyou all.
the rest of the days were boring. mundane. nothing but attempting to study and resting a little.
yesterday was my dad's birthday and my mummy&daddy's 27th wedding anniversary.
i got my dad a whole lot of his favourite snacks from chocolates, marshmallows, some crackers, chips with chilli etc.
wee&i baked together (: baked my parents a chocolate cake.
after school i went to buy the ingredients and i got a chocolate bar to melt into the cake.
haha. the cake's taste was good but there was something wrong with the texture.
but i'll try harder next time.
had dinner at east coast area cos my brother just booked out from the army camp there.
had pasta fresca. the pizza serving was huge.
had 3 deserts yesterday. haha.
a crepe that was disappointing actually. a peach sundae. &a free tiramisu cake from the boss of the chain of restaurants cos he found out it was my dad's birthday.
nice of him ain't it? (:
& it was my chinese birthday yesterday too. haha.
so i ate up the cake since daddy was too full.
ate the cake i baked when we got home.
it's no wonder why i'm putting on weight.
but it's a good sign (:
after all the play and whatnot. i should start getting back to my books.
my prelim results are not totally out yet. but i'm just hoping for the best.
grocery shopping and study with winsome later on.

(:
the past few days have been awesome!! (:
after the prelims i went to get my hair cut and went home for yummylicious dinner.
on
friday. i decided to spend some time alone. just by myself. walk around. people watch. shop. buying all sorts of cakes to eat. simply doing the things i like to do.
on my own i got 3 tops. one green. one multi-coloured. one white.
met wee after that cos he went skating with his friends. headed to marina square in search on my jeans. but no luck.
though he did get a pair of jeans. a jacket. a pair of slippers. a bag.
but i got nothing from marina square :(
had carl's junior for dinner! &the burgers are so ginormous that i couldn't fit it in my mouth. haha. i had to squish the burger first. but it was delicious!! (:
on
saturday. wee&i went to snow city for one hour of freezing and playing with the snowtube (that's what they call it)
went to science centre. haha. wanted to watch the deep sea by the omni theatre. looked inspiring. but the timing was off. so we went to sit the stimulation rides which was a total waste of money.
had buffet with his mummy&daddy. thankyou aunty&uncle for the treat (:
i had loads of steamed egg. all the sushis. the tempuras. satays. grilled fish etc.
but the oreo cheesecake was adorable. too bad i didnt take a photo of it. haha.
headed to town after that cos i was in desperate need of bottoms cos i can't fit into any of mine except one!
i got another top and eventually i got one white shorts. my dark blue denims. and a khaki skirt.
that's enough bottoms to last me i hope.
the two days of shopping absolutely burnt a hole in our pockets.
plus all the playing and other expenses.
but it was worthwhile. i could always save up again.
on
sunday. i met tann rachel and chah for lunch and chill out and catch up session (: damn fun! as usual rachel was late again. haha. we had italian pasta at amici and the food was great. the soup was lovely. and the pasta was yummy. though the serving was quite huge.
walked over to haagen dazs after that. haha. i was too full cos i ate up all the pasta (and they didn't) so i ordered a one scoop though it would be a waste to do so.
i had one scoop vanilla caramel brownie.
chah had one scoop of cookies&cream and one scoop of vanilla caramel brownie with chocolate chip toppings on top.
rachel had one scoop of strawberry cheesecake, one scoop of green tea and another scoop of raspberry with banana toppings and something else on the other side.
after which we headed to breko for more finger food. haha.
through this 7 hours or so spent with them we talked about EVERYTHING! from shampoo. to the ideal girl for boys. to clothes. to eating food. to people dieting getting ourselves worried for friends who are so ultra skinny yet are still on the victoria beckham diet. to just what's happening in school. to literally EVERYTHING.
i left at 7 cos i had dinner at home. my grandmama cooks for the extended family too every sunday.
singapore idol!! (: i admit hady can sing well. but i still prefer jonathan. and i love his voice (:
going to do a little tiny bit for math today before heading out for my doctor's appointment and meeting ade for dinner around 6plus that i have no idea where we're going or what we're going to do. she's so secretive!

a quickie
a quick update.
my brother got the guitalele that i wanted to get for him for christmas :(
but it's alright. i can always get something else for him.
today, for the first time in so many years i can surely say that i felt the presence of God in church.
the feeling was (speechless) i can't describe it.
i cried. it was just overwhelming.
i guess one reason was cos for the first time in this church for 12years, i've heard the congregation sing so loudly when the worship leader stopped singing.
it was just amazing. the atmosphere of praise was there.
it was during the song "you raised me up" by josh groban.
(would type the lyrics here but i ain't got no time. the prelims are tomorrow)
the words indeed can carry me through all the ups and downs that i can face.
so i know that God's always around me.
i guess i have backslid for quite some time and God's probably thinking it's time for Him to get pull me back to His embrace again.
HALLELUJAH! (: praise the Lord!
i've been eating quite a lot.
though my appetite's really running low.
i have to eat to survive. at least to maintain my weight.
i don't wanna lose anymore.
the exams are here.
the A's will be next.
haitus till next thursday.
(i'll be 18 soon)

lessons learnt
i love going to church and bringing back something useful.
i'm losing my temper quite frequently of late.
so today PEW was talking about the lessons learnt from the book of esther.
lessons learnt.
1. believe in what you believe in, stand firm to that belief.
2. 2ways to live - get angry (&kill all the red blood cells that will take time to replenish) or let go.
3. God is always around, no matter how we think otherwise.
i was in fact touched today.
my temper has gotten in the way. i learn to let go.
forgive & God will forgive me.
he told us a story about a small tiny little incident that happened to him but he chose to let go.
he was drinking his wife's car which had the windscreen wipers and the signals totally opposite from his car.
& he accidentally turned the windscreen wiper on with the spray on it.
the water droplets hit a woman's shirt and she glared at him.
even though the water was dried, she continued to stare while he plucked the parking coupons.
2 ways. he could get out of the car and say "why are you staring at me? it's not as if it's sweetened drinks or anything?" or he could simply say "sorry".
which did he chose? isn't it obvious?
it's all these little things that add up.
he once told me that going to church does not automatically make you a christian, live life the way you think Jesus would. forget about what people think that what the society deem is right. be firm in your belief. everybody's different in their own unique way. people have different perspectives of things. beauty is in the eye of the beholder & maybe the world isn't just about outer beauty, wearing the nicest clothes, being able to afford the best the world has to offer. one day, the world will see you as you are. &some will leave, some will stay. forget those that go, love&treasure those that stay by you.
(: (:
&happy belated birthday my dear latifah*
lots of love.

nothing's perfect in this world.
had a swensens date with aby before the movie.
lovely. the calamari was good, chicken bake rice was excellent, fish&chips were yummy and the service was exceptional!! (:
haven't got such good food and service at swensens before.
went to the library and read on how to counter stress.
the perfect answer? SLEEP A LOT. and HAVE A BALANCED DIET.
