sing acs forever more..

important things in life..

1) see no evil, hear no evil, do no evil


2) always fight for what you want. never give up.

AND:
3) smile, smile, and smile always ((:

something made me miss AC alot today.
pangs of sentimentalism that arose for no apparent reason dictates an urgent need for chocolate.
maybe im juz tired after intensive retail therapy. haha but at least i've got my new year clothes all settled (:

the art of disneyland

the art of photography is something i wanna master, and perhaps, have yet to do so.
i visited melody's blog yesterday, and read her post on her recent disneyland visit
which included vivid pictures of the famous fireworks display at mickey's castle. (or was it cinderella?)

and i was amazed.
this was one of her shots of the fireworks:



whereas for my shot during my delighted visit, disneyland looked as if..
1) it was on fire



2) a science experiment in the castle exploded


OR

3) there was an incoming tsunami


(aka: a disaster)

i could always blame it on the camera for giving me additional (unwanted) special effects for my shots
or, i could just sign up for photography classes right now.

BUT, to give myself some credit, heres one that looked rather okay and nice (:



so there.
-

abel: hahaha mm the mark-x was my car! yeah of course its gd its markx its a JDC no less lol. the altis was also mine but my friend was driving. wna hitch a ride? just give me a call i'll pick u up anytime muahaha

my waly waly

guesswat! i finally got the johnrutter CD that i've wanted for a verryy long time ((:
comfortably shipped in by dearly beloved Amazon.com, and also its buyer the boyfriend ((:
most of the pieces in the CD are based on choral pieces, folk songs and hymns - all my favorites.
andandand, it also feature suite for strings haha. a much more pro version of what we slaughtered at SYF, kronos, and our various open house performances respectively.
i never knew classical music could make me so delighted (:

anyway. highlights of today read lide's blog.
ECP today aftn saw two tetesterone-charged vehicles (one mark-x, one altis) cruising at high speeds to east coast park for lunch after church
because the riders were soo hungry
i saw my, again, dearly beloved breakwater number 7. hahaha.
i promise you, one day, i'll sit on you and watch sunrise like i've promised 3 years ago haha


mac quick get the car!!

meine Deutsche ist nicht gut

today i had my personal chauffer come pick me up in a nice black cifero car after german class

there you are..
too bad you're not long enough to floor the accelerator and look where you're going all at one time. we would have had a glorious time shanghai-ing the car..

so after german class today, i decided that my german was appallingly and frightfully bad
(or any other superlative worse than what ive described)
that juliet and i have decided to start speaking to each other in Deutsch from now on
any suggestions at how to rescue this seemingly unrescueable state of mine is graciously welcomed
i have about 4 months more to pick up german enough for me to live and survive in the country for 3 whole weeks with a german host family, and about less than 3 months for me to memorize vocabs and grammar enough for me to pass my LAG2201 module finals.

for starters, heres a happy birthday song to samuel:
zum Geburtstag viel Glück
zum Geburtstag viel Glück
zum Geburtstag liebe Samuel
zum Geburtstag viel Glück
((:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMSKY ((:

the beginning

"Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" -Hebrews 12: 1 -3

too many thoughts that flood out any trace of sleepiness that i felt earlier.
a faith that needs strengthening, only to be answered by his words

"Never will i leave you,
never will I forsake you"
..

so powerful and so strong is His presence.
perhaps a reminder. that wherever we are, he'll always be with us. with me.
its been a long drought. dried of faith, water, and his love. i've almost forgotten how it feels like.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for,
and certain of what we do not see.." -Hebrews 11:1


heres to a new beginning ((: i'll start anew in you.
"help me find the way, bring me back to you"

one glimpse

guess what i saw at jurong pt life bookshop today?

hurhur. its a sign.. haha.
i would have bought it, except it cost $157.
soonsoon ((:

always beautiful


pink roses. symbols of grace and elegance. to convey admiration, appreciation, and joyfulness ((:
(i ripped that off the internet btw)
but im a happy gurl ((:

dinner was at La Zesto, where they were serving one-for-one for their three course meals.
they pretty much marketed themselves upon caricatural images of fine dining and good food
(although that came in rather small portions even i could finish all of it)
but overall the ambience was pretty nice and dark and cozy, and i have no qualms about returning ((:

i cant get my mind off pan's labyrinth. the cinematography blew my mind.
so did the story, although the plot only came to light wayy after the show.
its rly beautiful how the story intertwined reality and imagination, but the story was so dark and heavy that i feel like im still stuck in the story even now.
so much emotions and feelings were drawn that i cant seem to retract all of them and just clip them close together with the ending of the show.
its one of those movies where you exit, and still feel the tremendous poundings of your heart, and you still think of the scenes even after you get home.

a must-watch.. (:

mountain of god

ernest, aaron, isaac and mac came over for badminton and swimming exercise today ((:
(infact, they just left)
i feel like i havent worked out in about 135866243 years. my stamina's low, my strength's low, my score's low, but not my spirits ((:
because.. we had my mom's homemade spagetti carbonara by the pool, basking in the cool moonlit night straight after swimming
im telling you.. it was heavenly.
after so much exercise, the appetite we worked up was so huge that 4 guys 1 girl finished one whole tub of carbonara, and was left wanting for more food
or at least, the guys were.

on a less optimistic tone, i seem to be undoing whatever great effort i have put in to lose some calories, because now im doing the PPP (pods popping problem) again
it doesnt help that i've just received 2 new boxes of pods from evynn ((: (whom i swear wants me fat cuz he keeps buying me goodies)

anyway. yesterday i went to mac's place with the full intention of studying.
but in the end, when i got there, and opened my book, i realized i knew almost 80% of the readings i was supposed to do because it was just JC stuff.
so, we ended up just chilling, and went to SAFRA yishun to play bowling ((:
and omgg the rock walls there looks pretty delicious i cant wait to get my hands and legs on them

to end off the post, a few pictures from mac's new phone hehehe.
a few pictures in church..

and one at mac's place with his niece's reinder tiara ((:


for some reason im not looking forward to school this week.
maybe cuz tutorials are starting. GAH.

dream a little dream

yeah baby...


school for scoundrels is really about scoundrels - men.
but it turned out to be a rather funny show, and the main lead guy can look kinda cute when he dresses up and closes his mouth once in a while
that being said, he looks like a dope the other 70% of the time

what was intended to be a night out at the beach was replaced by a spectacular night of star-gazing
there was an amazing count of stars in the sky yesterday night, given the amount of air and light pollution
its nights like these where you can talk till the depths of midnight, and still feel like you wanna talk some more
words seem to come easier under the moonlight and stars, encouraged only by the cool night breeze that seem to whisper "i love you"
it was nice (:

anyhow. project "laptop bag" has officially been completed ((:
ive had itchy fingers ever since i finished sewing mac's christmas cushion
so since my teeny laptop doesnt seem to have a laptop case made for its dimensions i decided on making on myself.
maybe i'll put up a picture or two for those who have requested it haha.

it's all gooooodd ((:

oh yes, and happy birthday to sheila eng and auntie ping!! my fellow "januar kinder" hahaha

from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
