Jesus- The Same Yesterday, Today and Forever

about: my life
FEVER!!!
when i woke up earlier yesterday, my throat hurt! to e extent tat i dun wan to swallow anything... it hurts... but i thot sorethroat only! no big deal!
met michelle for lunch at ps pastamania... eeee, tat place.... bet tat Ben is a soccer fan... make his staff wear jersey... *yea! i'm biased towards e top management of Pastamania... LAF pple will understand y... anyway caught up with her... discovered an exciting news abt vivien... so proud of her... i'm going to support her! felice coming back 26june-3july, but e dates clashes with my cambodia trip... so left with 3rd only... hopefully i will at least get to meet her... i miss her so much...
then a quick errand to staff serice at bugis to return my timesheet... May, so cute, came out and tok and tok and tok to me... telling me how dangerous cambodia is, how come my mum allow me to go blah blah blah... a nice lady to tok to though... known to everyone as very bubbly and gan-kiong... tats my beloved job consultant for u...
then met up with shanice and pc for some window shopping and took lots of photos... i just kept clicking and clicking her camera until "memory full".... u need skill to reach tat point... haha... as of today, shanice is my "oldest" friend & pc is my "bestest" friend... *puns intended... we go a long way back...
during these period of time, i was feeling more & more uncomfortable... spoke less and less... to e point i was shivering just walking along marine square shopping center...
but hack! i still made my way down... by tat time, my fever came! hehe... wah! he bought cheng teng for me... cold, yet so refreshing... and sour sour mango sago... then headed to e chinese medical store to get bitter drink... for e sake of my upcoming trip, i need to get well soon... so i force e whole yucky bottle of drink down my throat... i almost vomitted... then to e park and chilled on e swing... not many stars though... but still nice, relaxing n i didnt have much strength to even swing myself high enough... by tat time, i really going to "faint" liao... so decided to just take a taxi home... while he has to book in again... flagging e taxi indeed was 'exciting'... haha... and guess wat, before i left, i got a lovely surprise! =)
in e dark taxi, i carefully unwrapped the so nicely wrapped gift... tada! presenting... my 1st precious moments figurine!!! =)
its a little girl bending down along a sandy beach spelling the word "JESUS"...
i love it! so sweet hor... i mean both e figurine and him... hehe... =)
apparently, he told me, he took 3 days to chose... so much for always saying i'm e indecisive one... wahahaha... but of course, i appreciate it... =p... and this is his 2nd choice... his favourite was out-of-stock... now, i'm curious to find out wat were his other choices...
well, i often like to enter the precious moment store and slowly admire all the figurines on e shelves... *enough to make me smile... each figurine has a character of its own... e names to each of them are so meaningful and approperate... i like them all...
i thot to myself, i want a collection of my own too...

i'm back! back from MALACCA, M'sia!
spent 4 days 3 nights at BaBa House...
my "past"... my "hometown"
i'm a perankan!
so how was my trip?
i'm glad i'm a singaporean & live in singapore
*haha...
well, i had a good time with dad, mum, sis, steve & mama =)
We were there on free & easy... not much pre-trip preparation... so we just found our way around e place... reading pamplets & maps & asking ard
despite so, i've seen many parts of malacca & learnt lotz! their history, lifestyle etc
i tasted e most traditional and yummy food!
like chendol, chicken rice ball (fishball look-a-like), nonya dishes, wantan mee, kueh, different types of durian, roti canal.........
Shopping was easy on e pocket... things seem to be 'half-priced'!
Msia police is doing a good job, cause i couldnt find a place tat sells 'copied' vcds *hehe
i'm slowly learning to understand the Malay language!
i watched my 1st completed world cup live match at a roadside pub *nice though... and half of e so-exciting brazil-australia match due to some circumstances =(
While watching, i took my 1st try at guiness beer *neh, i dun like it!
Bought so much gula melaka sugar! i intend to attempt to make chendol soon.
so presenting... MALACCA... =)

about: my life
i've been running errands e past few days- tues, wed, thur, today- in e mids of my other activities
mainly is to settle my mission trip stuff, e 'gift', got my 'new look', bought for my mum a chinese-english bible
no doubt, e 'shopping list' was more or less listed, but wanting to get e specific stuff seems to be such a challenge...
*i do like challenge though, at times
its like, just when u want to get sth, u just cant find it... so u keep walking here there everywhere in search... but on other times, u keep bumping into it...
then things happen tat just seem to go against u...
for eg, i got a vcd for e kids... came home to see wats in it... and i have to be tat lucky one to grab onto e one in a million faulty disc...
another eg, just when u actually only need to use 3/4 sheets of e already quite expensive transfer paper, i end up using all 4 sheets... when u actually need one top, i end up travelling down to get another one...
wah! wat an advanture!
but of course, e
"i'm not giving up" me, didnt fall into any of these 'failure'... *hehe... and of course i'm proud of myself... i got them all eventually. ok! maybe not all, but most... *good enough...
at e end of e day, when all these "misfortunes" are overcomed by myself... e sense of satisfaction is so so so great & rewarding... =)
after looking for mum's bible only to find out tat it has been out-of-stock in e many christian store i went... in e end i bought e bible at a price $18 cheapers... i'm not kidding... i asked e sales lady myself, y there is such a huge price different, she doesnt know too! *blessing in disguise
after slowly dealing with e 'mistakes'... quite a headache though... something tat i initially thought was so easy to do, but i was totally wrong, instead i spend quite a long time on it... but now i'm a pro at it! e final product is so nice!!! i love it!!! so proud of it... everything else was worth it! and opps! i forgot to take a photo of it... haizzz... but i still have e "rejected" version with me *hehe...
maybe only when i'm this free, tat i bother & have e time, tat such things will happened... *hehe
well, all these caught me thinking...
even if one dun succeed on his 1st try, he shldnt give up or be dishearten... alright at times i was dishearten myself...
but to continue being hopeful and strive for what he wants...
even if one dun succeed on his 2nd, 3rd, 4th...times... still dun give up... who knows, e 5th time may be e success time... wont it be such a waste if one just give up at this 4th chance? esp after putting in so much?
yea! i know, all these are easier said than done!
*i agree too... =p
*y do i like to contridict myself? oh well..
~~~
yesterday went pasir ris park cycling with shanice, while pc was blading...
didnt like e bicycle... i wont go to tat store again... e uncle there so stingy too!
so pple, dun go to e bicycle kiosk at pasir ris park carpark D...

about: my life
i didnt know just wanting to get a soccer jersey can take up quite a bit of time and consideration and analysis... *hehe
about more than a week ago, in e newest adidas store in singapore, out of e blue, me and my crazy idea of "lets make a soccer jersey... very easy! just decide on a colour & brand... then iron-on our names and numbers! tada! its done!"- world cup fever!
surprisingly, wow! e others were onz for my crazy idea too... haha...
so our world cup conversation started...
but up till now, we havent really settled on it... despite making a intensional trip to queensway shopping center... *haha.. but still a worthwhile one...
guo an... e world cup "expert" in his own way... was teaching and telling us stuff... wat has been happening... which team possibly will make it... and y... e team players... black horse... their tactics... blah blah blah...
indeed it has been an eye-opener for me... i learn something new everyday! in fact a lot... *i like intellectual topics...
now world cup isnt just able 22 guys running after a small ball on a green patch of land with thousands of pple screaming... betting on e games isnt just able gambling... its about strategic planning and anaysis... lots of thinking and calculation... maybe just a bit a bit to do with luck though...
there are some who just watch e matches for e thrill & fun & entertainment... some other die-heart soccer fan who play soccer themself watch with very sharp eyes & knowledgeable minds... some even learn some of e players tactics and style...
this season is indeed a time for pple, esp e guys to bond together... pple come together with chips, beer, nuts, home-delivery pizza/mac... late nights... coffee shops...
i'll put it as an intellectual & strategic game... for both e players and viewers... its not as simple as it looks...
there's just so so so much into this international recognised sports...
as of now, we're come out with 3 colours... based on our predictions of each match and round... and highly prob one... but shhh~~~ i'm not telling u... at least, not yet... *hehe...
so its more analysis for now...
e worst part is, i dun have cable... =(
~~~
i remember my time during acjc pe... when e guys kept playing soccer... i will just sit at e grand stand... or just acting busy... or doing my more hated ang's yellow thingie jumping!!! but observing e guys play their soccer... e same few tactics and tricks each of them have... their individual style etc... then there was one particular pe session... it was with e same few of them, e guys were teaching me some of their tricks... so i learnt and then applied while playing with them... obviously they knew wat tricks i'll be using... but they did give in... how nice of them... hehe... of course, with my occasional screams... and times when i'll be e goal-keeper... e trick is, i'll place the 2 cones so close to each other... of course, e ball can hardly get in... haha... those were e days! =
~~~
i realised something... my blog posts been rather long... but wat to do.. having survived a year in nus arts course... thousand of words & pages of essay seems to be nothing anymore...
*so pls pardan my "longness"

on our journey back, we have a very funny and interesting conversation abt relationship... how to 'score' points... many lame comments too... shhh~~~ not suppose to spread outside e 4 doors...
but tokking abt it... i think to myself *wats going on...
thur and fri was Singtel SME BizFair at Raffles City Convention Centre... as compared to pc show... this is so so so so so much more slack... but e more slack it gets, e more boring and e more tiring it can get...
well, since its at a 4-star hotel, we got good service and good food! u'll b amazed by e treatment we get... at times, it doesnt feel we're working... and e best part is, we get paid...
chatted with few of e perm staff... enjoyable...
Jackee, my i/c, was teaching us quite a bit abt Singtel, her job, e process of planning this etc... we tokked abt competitors... looking ard... seriously, u dun see e colour orange and green at site... *sensitive colours... and i was suppose to watch out for competitor spy... unfortunately, i didnt manage to spot any...
*enriching...
got to meet all kinds of big shot pple... directors after directors... MDs after MDs... *smile and be poliet* is very impt!
and guess wat, i met Mr SingTel VP, Mr Wong... he looks friendly and pleased with us... which is wat tat matters... apart from e sales figures... i guess in e working world, it is very much impt to be able to please ur boss to succeed...
