colour change, words added.. to our bedroom

wohoo!!!! Finally! Finally! i get to write/ paint on my bedroom wall one of our fave bible verse! taken from Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own undertanding... but! due to space constraint, i only wrote "Prov 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart". actually, last night, i got home only at 4.10am in the morning. went to Logan's birthday celebration at AMK hub's Nebo club. thereafter, a grp of us headed down to Dbl O. Cuz there was a long queue. so we headed down to the Arena instead. and club till like 3.30am? i was super tired.. then this morning, i woke up at 8.30am. started by clearing the stuff from my room, the beds, the table, the cupboard etc.. till my friend, Jin Cong came at ard 9.15am? and wen yang came about 11am to get us lunch too! :) Jin Cong and wen yang are really, really helpful and generous for their time, which i really thank god for. Jin cong and i and sis have been friends ever since we join the Young adults' zone 3 years ago. He was my cell grp's team leader. He said that since nowadays, he'd got a lot of time to spare, therefore, he volunteered to help my sisters and i with the painting of our room, and even helped us search for a bible verse to paint on our wall! that was my idea (writing the verse on the wall). we started the painting job at about 10am? and it ended at about 5-ish plus. All well done. i was so so so glad that everything's done without much hiccups. despite the fact that i wrote a letter wrongly. "Prov" became, "Prob". so Jin cong had to paint a few coats of orange over, then after it'd dried up, i wrote the "V" over it. tsk tsk.. only i am capable to make such silly mistakes.. :P

anyway, after the whole thing, i've got another surprise! both Jin cong and i opened up our christmas prezzies which we'd exchanged with each other and guess wad?! he bought for me my Elmer's wallet which i'd always wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you Jin cong!!!! and i too, bought him a wallet.. shared tog with my sisters. :) anyway, i'm really really tired now.. here are some pics we took using Jin cong's cam. rather, he was the photographer lah.. :)

regrets?

i was reading the past entries of my blog just now, and it suddenly struck me that as much as i do not want to care or give a damn abt the RSAF guys anymore, be it if they still want to befriend us anymore, i still felt a tinge of regret. alot had happened throughout the weeks after Ricky's birthday party which was like a month or 2 ago? apparently, there was a pretty huge fight (verbal) between ming ren, yee+me. but! the stupid thing is tt, it was all but a stupid misunderstanding! but Ming ren just wouldnt listen to our explanation. and i've aldy apologised (despite the fact tt i didnt do anything wrong, besides saying smth not true abt ming ren on fb, but! i've aldy apologised can?!) but he (ming ren) is still ignoring us. why la why? it's so frustrating to be malign by someone who used to be such good friend of ours and refused to hear us out. and it's frustrating that here we are trying to salvage the friendship, and there he is ignoring us for like the longest time. and it's so damn not fair that after knowing us for quite some time, just because of one sms, he concluded tt my sis and i are the kind who went all out to know guys/pilots and he said tt he will not entertain such thoughts. oh please! we're not tt sort can?! and that thought has NEVER come across OUR MINDS. arghh... frankly speaking, thou we didnt do much, rather, we've only met a few times on diff occasions such as birthday parties and such, but, i really enjoyed their company and listen to them talk. basically, if i could turn back time, i would have think twice before saying anything. now, it's all nth but history. friends made, and gone. over. anyway, they'll be leaving for Aussie soon. as much as i want to see them off, but i think it is totally impossible, and i may not have the time. all i can do now is to pray for a miracle and hope tt ming ren will forgive us lor. and the rest of the guys? i suppose, to them, sis and i are just like one of the acquaintances they made and i have never regretted knowing them. all the best guys. should there be a day when our paths crossed again, i just hope we will not be ignored like "who are u?" kind. bye.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK..

yes.. as the title suggest, for the whole of last month.. till last wed, i was waiting for it. the local play production by W!ld Rice production-- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is definitely an excellent production. the backbone of snow white's storyline is still the same-- snow white ate the poison apple and died. but was revived by the prince from a far away kingdom and they lived happily ever after. BUT! if this is it, would i pay so much to watch it?! the answer is NO! But of cuz, that wasnt the case. Hossan Leong, the director, put a little twist to the story and the whole play was very entertaining, engaging, and funny. They talked a little about the singapore's government, a little about china's olympic, the Melamine milk powder scare, and so forth. But of cuz, my friends and i came to a conclusion that cuz Hossan Leong himself is a christian. therefore, during some parts of the play, the songs which they sang, including the opening theme song. if u're a believer, and u play close attention to the lyrics, u'll understand. i dunnoe wad's the title of the song thou, but i decided to give it a title- Welcome to the Kingdom. and in this case, the Kingdom refers to the Heavenly Kingdom from above. when i manage to get the soundtrack/ lyrics, i'll definitely post it up. and u'll know what i mean. :) right.. i'm one person who's not very good with words or explaining stuff.. i'll copy and paste the play's synopsis, and u go read it for urself. :)

SYNOPSIS

Once upon a time in the Eternal Kingdom, there lived a Queen who wanted everything and everyone to be perfect. So, when her subjects turn 18, they are sent for “Enhancement”— a programme to correct their flaws.The Queen holds a beauty pageant every year where she crowns herself as the winner. One day, her Magic Mirror, who cannot lie without literally cracking up, reveals to her that a new beauty has come of age—her own step-daughter Snow White. Poor Snow White is ordered to undergo a nip-tuck by the creepy Royal Surgeon. But she runs away to the Outer Limits, where she encounters junk, vermin and the rapping, breakdancing Seven Dwarfs—outcasts banished from the Kingdom for falling short of the Queen’s standards.Will Snow White escape from the Queen’s manicured clutches? Will her Prince Charming recognise true love in her bad hair state? And will the Queen ever stop coming up with new titles for herself and finally retire?

W!LD RICE's new pantomime is a hilarious, heart-warming musical comedy about keeping it real. With side-splitting gags, snazzy song and dance routines, and sumptuous sets and costumes, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs is the “perfect” show to put you and your loved ones in an enchanted mood this Christmas. Make your appointment now for a holiday-enhancing experience that will put a grin on your face, a spring in your step, and a song in your heart!

Empty Me by Chris Sligh

This is a song which i like very much and i happen to hear it from my cousin's blog, and so i decided to share it with u guys. enjoy! :)

Empty Me by Chris Sligh

I've had just enough
Of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
I've tasted my share
Of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds onto
Lord, empty me of me so
I can be Filled with You

I've seen just enough
Of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds onto
Lord, empty me of me so I can be
Filled with You

Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You
Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, so I surrender all

updates..

right.. looking back at my last entry.. woah! it was a good one month ago.. sorry manz.. was quite busy recently.. birthday parties to attend, going out with friends, children's church's drama rehearsals, and grandma's back in hospital again.. so many things have been happening recently.. wanted to blog it down.. but there's no time and i also dunnoe where to begin with.. as usual, i guess i'll just title them and write down the details of each event..

Car rental

yee got to know a friend recently, who's dad owns a car rental company. hee.. so what happen was, since mum's birthday was just around the corner as of last, last week, my sisters and i decided to rent the car from 2 weeks ago's wed all the way to last monday. so on thursday night, we drove our mum out to chomp chomp for dinner, thereafter, drove over to my aunt's place at jalan kayu's area, one of those private housing estate so that we can visit our grandma as well. however, tt night when we were in my grandma's room, she was aldy not feeling too good. so we told my aunt and she said she'll bring her to the doc's soon. however, not long after, grandma said she's tired, and want to sleep. so we left her room and went out to the living room and sat there while chatting with our relatives. throughout the week of enjoying the luxury of having a car to drive ourselves ard, we drove to places such as east coast park, parkway parade, bukit timah, bukit panjang, sungei gedong (to pick wen yang up from his camp) and to church! hee.. at least my driving skill have improved tremendously and we could drive to places such as bukit timah and east coast without having to keep asking for directions aldy. :)

Grandma ('ma ma' in cantonese)
This happened 2 weeks ago. It was a sunday when my parents, sisters, wenyang (yee's bf) and i were on our way (i was driving on our rented car) to upper bukit timah road for dinner to celebrate mum's birthday. thou it was a belated celebration, but we wanted to do it tt sunday cuz dad's back in singapore and the whole family was able to celebrate with her. However, when we reached upper bukit timah, and were looking for parking lots, my dad's sis, aunty rachel called my san's hp and urgently asked for my dad. after my dad put down the phone, he told us tt his mum, our grandma's admitted into NUH and aunty rachel was crying and asking us to go down to NUH immediately. so i looked at my dad and asked him to drive instead. when i switched over to the front passenger seat, tears was rolling down my face. i was so afraid tt we might lose my grandma that night. and my dad.. woah! he was driving super fast.. thank god we rented car tt week. thank god we were in bukit timah area.. thank god we were still looking for parking lots.. anyway.. when we reached the hospital, almost the whole family were there.. some were crying and i thought grandma's dead.. but phew! nope.. they were still checking her and were adjusting her oxygen mask. i was fighting back my tears and walked out of the ward a few times as i didnt want my grandma to see me crying. now she's still in the high dependency ward. just went to visit her yesterday. cuz only 2 person can enter at a time, so san and i went to visit her together. we, especially me, i chatted with my grandma for about an hour. hee.. i can tell that she's a lot better aldy and she definitely enjoyed our company although maybe sometimes, i think she dun understand what was i talking about. i just rattle on and on.. well.. guess she just wants to see us and enjoyed the time we spent with her. she told us that she should be able to transfer out of the high dependency ward to a normal ward next week on. so i'm looking forward to the day she gets discharged.
