GivesMeHope

A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, "everyone should die happy. or at least with a full stomach." We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month. GMH.

I was recently working at a nursery school where I saw a 3 year old girl wearing tights on her head. One of my colleagues told me it was because some of the children had been making fun of her bald head. She had had chemotherapy. I later saw one young boy of about 4 go over to her, tell her she was beautiful and remove the tights. GMH

I'm 16 and am about to have a baby. I work a minimum wage job with about 15 other people who are just barely making it. My boss told me that me being pregnant was making him look bad and that I need to quit. I did. So did everyone else working there.

I was sitting on the bench outside of work one day trying to fix my make up. An elderly man walked passed me with his groceries heading towards his car in the huge Walmart parking lot. He then returned back a minute or so later to tell me "you're beautiful without all that stuff, and you don't need it." Groceries still in hand. GMH

awesome.

a post dedicated to you all. thank you for making today a fantabulous one. (: waaaadup!

pauline: known you for the longest among them all. and yes, you know me best. the embarrassing moments, the times i gushed over cute guys, how only you understand the charm of usher boy, how you know not to push my buttons, how you seem to understand my every thought. i really appreciate our early sunday yakuns and late night ramly. thank you for every little moment that makes my life more interesting. love you tonnnes! (:

honey, gucci girl! you prolly take more photos than anyone else i know. and prolly my most affectionate and touchy friend around. thank you for being part of my life and putting in all the effort to make my day. i've really enjoyed our dinners and pool and lan and movie sessions. i'm so glad that we have grown closer over these few months and i really do hope we'll keep this friendship going. i love you tonnes and thank you so much hun! (:

lixin! haha, youre like the dad in our group, always dishing out your theories on women and men issues, nagging at us about going home late, giving advice about every single thing, listening to us rant. ohhhhh, will miss you when you go to botak camp. no more refreshments after cg, no more free cab rides home, no one to rant to. HAHHA, but more than just that, i'll have one less to have intellectual debates with, one less to laugh with, one less to fight with. thank you for everything today and have fun! (:

jonah nah nah. it amazes me still how we've known each other for almost 4 years yet we've only been close this year. even though i know how you dont mean it when you call me hot babe, but it still makes me happy nevertheless. and no, i do not wanna be cute. heeeee, but i still wanna thank you for being a part of my life with your cheeky smiles and crazy impersonations of me. though i may always smack you, you know i dont mean it! HAHAHHAHAHA, okay, maybe sometimes i do. BUT youre an awesomeeeee friend i really treasure! (:

chinssssss! stop bugging me to blog faster. these are my heartfelt thoughts okay. and thank you for sacrificing your image to be my present (though a Chanel might be better). hahah, i do not like how you always call me hot pig, but that may be a smokescreen to disguise your great appreciation of my beauty. i know that deep down, you think i'm cute but i'm sorry i have to reject your kindness. anyways, youve been one great friend and i do treasure our times together! (:jedi! my bridge and studying partner. i tell you, we are the ultimate contract bridge partners. brain text do work! and though you constantly make fun of me, i shall be magnanimous to forgive you. thank you for sharing your food during study sessions and bringing your card for our bridge. heeeee, i do hope we keep our bridge sessions. and yes, thank you for making my day such an awesome one. i must say, i am touched, from the bottomest of my heart.

and yes, though i may not say it, i love all of you and really appreciate all the effort. this cancels out all the teasing youve ever done. (((((:

At this moment, there are 6 billion people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good. Some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people, six billion souls and sometimes,

all you need is ONE.

I hate the way you talk to me.
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots.
And the way your read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick -
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh -
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around.
And the fact that you didnt call.
But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you -
Not even close

Not even a little bit

Not even at all.

my mum is a perfectionist. to her, if you wanna do smth, you have to do it to the best of your ability. she always expects nothing less than the best from me and my siblings. many times when she admonishes me, i argue back silently in my heart knowing it is not right. most of the worst scoldings ive endured through came from my mum. yet i know at the bottomest of her heart, nothing pains her more than to not see me mature. and as today is mother's day, i remember the many special daughter-mom moments that made my life seem complete.

the times she used to bring my brothers and i to her office to play when we were little while she worked through the night. the times she brought us on our annual christmas shopping. the times she would hold our tiny hands and walked through orchard road to see the pretty christmas lights. the time my little pet hamster died and she told me it went to heaven and now God will look after it. the times when we had such severe asthma we had to be admitted to the hospital and she kept vigil by our bedside. the times when she, as the sole breadwinner of our family, had to make painful decisions between us and work. the times she would worry when i came home late even when i am turnng 19. the times she would sleep at the office so i could rush my project. the times she would say 'NO!' but relent at the end.

it must have been tough on her raising 3 kids single-handedly, juggling work and family, playing the role of mum and dad. she's not superwoman, but simply a loving mother and my greatest friend on earth.

havent blogged in like a million years. countless empty promises to update yet i left it dead. I AM EVIL.

ASTONISHING FACT #1:
MY ELDER BROTHER WATCHES GOSSIP GIRL. HE READS GOSSIP GIRL.

to add on that, he also watches ugly betty. interesting convo i had with him the other day.
bro: eh, i'm going to get a book today.
me (not interested cause i was catching up on my ugly betty eps): okay, what book?
bro: should i get confessions of a shopaholic or gossip girl?
ME(still in utter state of shock): YOU SERIOUS?!
i highly suspect the sexuality of my brother.

yups, okay. i only have one astonishing fact i am dying to share.

2008-08-23T00:04:00.002+08:00

okay, interesting conversation i had with charms the other day. we (okay, maybe just me) apologize if anyone is offended by it.

charms (listening to my ipod-no air was playing):hey, did you watch the video for no air?
me:yeah, HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! DID YOU SEE JORDIN SPARKS?
charms: yah, shes super fat lah. (okay, it didnt really stop here. we went on about her being slightly rounder than others)

THEN!!

charms: we're really evil, you know. lightning will strike us lah.
me: no, lightning will make us fat.

2008-08-09T00:20:00.006+08:00

oh man, my longest hiatus ever i suppose. looking back, i realised God has been so amazing to me. throughout school life, i realised i always had friends, not just mere acquaintances but friends whom i would consider fairly dear to my heart. and yes, for that, i wanna appreciate all my friends! (:

Charmant

the new braces girl. one of my closest friends. i must say poly life have taken away much of our time and we barely even meet for coffee. but yeah, going through Perth together when we're barely 18 is really cool. there were days when i was moody and some times you were grumpy, but we've got the happy moments too. remember our grocery shopping, the times we walked to innaloo and back, the times we went to the playground to play on the swing, the time when the china girl flagged our bus away, the times when it was so dark and we had to walk home. yeah, every single moment of Perth, i do cherish them. and yes, thank you for being a part of my life. when can i meet you at your workplace man? (:

Tessa

the bath-time reminder. another closest friend. wessy's prolly the only one who can get me off the laptop to go bathe. and i so love annoying you, wessy! i get this secret thrill out of it. everytime i think of tessywessy, i think of the times we were class buddies! how we used to do EVERYTHING together. going to the toilet, laughing at ronald, poking daryl with the pen, recess, going home together on 61, skipping down the corridors, guffawing in mr wong's class. and yes, you are probably the only one who starts a conversation with me on msn with have you bathed, audrey. HAHAHA, and if i havent, then the chasing me off part begins. and yepps, i missed you too wessy! shall we go visit the charmcat together? (:

Limmos

havent seen her like in like eons. she used to be the braces girl before charms took over. well, limmos! we have to have a charmantessaudreying gathering like really soon. well, i missed our snorting,our galloping in school and laughing at spaghetti in the hair. looking back, i think you were the one who sparked off all the craziness in me and tessywessy. okay, i need to meet up with you really soon cause i havent laughed till i snorted in ages. LOL!

LiMing

okay, for once, will you stop asking me to spin? i so dont owe you 20 spins anymore. i'm gonna sue you for battery! yeah, this is the one who keeps buying all the dumb dumbs,i'm so going to flick your dumbdumbs. yeah, i love coffee bean with you after law lessons, and giving nicknames to everyone we see, laughing at silly incidents, 'studying' with you, reading tabloids in the school com lab. yeah, school became fun cause of you! (:

shuhui

firstly, i've gotta thank you for running 5 floors for me just to hand in bese assignment. and oh yeah, to cut the pictures for me. youre now like the official LARS gathering organizer and yeah, i do miss our year one days. the days when we did project till like 10pm, the times we laughed at how slow you are. but yeah, i must admit you do take care of me and help me do stuff. thanks man! (:

raisin

oh man, i missed going to school together with you and how you remind me to meet at 8 bus-stop at 8.15am. its been lonely going to school without you. but yeah, i still do enjoy bumping into you at school. its hilarious how you constantly disallow your boyfriend to speak a word to us and how you whack him and how you say 'chicken' and how you laugh at my chinese. and for your information, i think my mandarin speaking skills had improved. we should try conversing in mandarin man. will xia dao ni. LOL!

alrightey, as usual. i'm too tired now man. will continue tmr! (:
p.s. those not mentioned, your turn's soon! (:

and wessy, i bathed already.

i miss grocery shopping. and cheap yummy yoghurt. AND TO MY BROTHER WHO WOULD NEVER READ THIS. stop stealing my yoghurt while i'm out at school. be nice to influenza patients.

2008-04-20T00:51:00.002+08:00

the fastest two months are probably the two months of holidays. in a twinkle of an eye, you go from post-exam joy to starting school blues. i hardly know anyone from my new class. do hope they're nice too. will miss LARS alot. we were such a perfect clique in school. okay, not much to update. MORE COMING UP WHEN SCHOOL BEGINS!

YAY YAY!

2007-07-08T14:34:00.000+08:00

oh look, maddox the young punk.

2007-05-21T20:25:00.001+08:00

i learnt that i should stop laughing at ppl. the last time i laughed, i tripped in the lecture hall and fell. LOL. anyways, poly life has been fabfab. BUT I STILL MISS CHARMS, TESS AND LIMMOS. okay.

10 things about my poly life.
1. i have a friend called ruisin. and i call her raisin.
2. i named many ppl in my lecture class. (e.g. little boy, little girl, fat boy, model girl, mary and the little lamb). cause i dont know their names yet.
3. i think little boy is cute. as in he really looks like a little boy.
4. and no, i dont have a crush on him.
5. i wear slippers to school everyday though it's not allowed. (half, no, 3/4 of the school wear slippers too.)
6. i have ice cream at least once a week. (PADDLE POP!)
7. i visit the toilet much more frequently than ever. thanks to liming.
8. i see yinzhou, jialing, yvonee and the 4/3 ppl like nearly everyday. not the same ones though.
9. my break time is no longer 35mins. it's been extended to 3HOURS.
10. i'm in hospitality and tourism, for those who still dont know.

now there you go. a summary.

2007-03-16T14:21:00.000+08:00

YAYS! i'm back from phuket. everything was awesome. glorious sun, silky sand, finger-lickin' good food AND hot caucasians. tonnes and tonnes down the street at night. night life at phuket (patong beach) is comparable night life at clarke quay. the whole trip was just fabulous. OH OH OH. one misconception to clear though. not EVERYTHING is dirt cheap in thailand. the thing about it is knowing the right tactics to haggle, never be afraid to slice the price and make your stand. and yes, the prices at the shops along patong beach are jacked up like crazy. yeah, this is what happens when a place becomes too occupied by tourists. nevertheless, if you havent been to phuket, it's time you should see what the world has to offer.

my new favourite song!

Our God Reigns -- Delirious?
40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage,
It’s a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
If this is a human right then why aren’t we free?
The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

100 million faces, staring at the sky,
Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by.
The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug,
But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone’s drugs.

Our God reigns, Our God reigns
,Forever your kingdom reigns.

The west has found a gun and it’s loaded with ‘unsure’
Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure.
Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime,
God didn’t screw up when he made you,
He’s a father who loves to parade you.

Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign,
For there is only one true God,
But we’ve lost the reins on this world,
Forgive us all, forgive us please,
As we fight for this broken world on our knees.

2006-12-08T00:51:00.000+08:00
