just came back from dinner at the botanical gardens. went to KAP in the early afternoon for lunch and chit chat with lydia. i always learn alot from her and i mean alot for a 2 hour session. today, we talked about daniel's dreams, king nebuchadnezzar's dream, different views regarding israel, faith, holiness and so so much more. wonderful. if only we had more time :)

i've been eating so much this past week that during my afternoon nap today, i started dreaming of food. haha. i dreamt that i was feasting on pig's organ soup, pig's liver soup, a bowl of rice, mrs fields brownies with ice cream, famous amos cookies, california handroll and sugar cane juice in my kitchen. YUMMY. i don't see how some people can go on those diets that last for weeks and months.

GP was tough. now, i'm just hoping to pass. i felt my essay wasn't solid enough. the comprehension was easy to understand but it was tough putting it down into words plus we had to rephrase it. aye. i really hope i pass.

after school, almost the entire class went to waffletown for the last lunch with suzy. uploaded the pictures we took under the szu's farewell lunch folder. went down town and was hoping to catch a movie but the timings weren't too suitable. going for cell soon.

the holidays are finally here!!! YAY. happy holidays! i'm so happy.

took off my little bandage today because i decided that it's was time to wash my finger (which, by the way, haven't even touched water for 8 days!)yes, i know i'm disgusting and dirty. can't wait to do the GP paper tomorrow. i hope i get a B!

no school tomorrow! :) we're all supposed to stay home and study for the GP exam on friday. haha. went to coffee club for coffee after school today with aveline, celestine, sebestian, michelle and bobby. talked, talked, talked and talked till we left at 8. hmm. didn't realize i didn't know so many things.

went to gelare after school for waffles with suzy, ben, claire and terence. tomorrow's suzy's last day in school unless i'm able to meet her again before she leaves. aye. i hate farewells.

went back to school today. by the second period i was all tired and it didn't help that miss ng told me that i had to do the geog test. great. how am i supposed to finish studying lectures 10-13 by tonight?

the whole weekend was spent celebrating birthdays and sleeping. on saturday night, we went to chef chan's to celebrate my aunt's 50th birthday. sunday afternoon, went over to holland village with jonong, michelle, edward and alex and then headed over to my cousin's birthday party at raffles town club. just realized i might not have enough time to study for the mid years. if i'm going for S&S, that'll be 4 days, then family vacation for another 5 days. that in total would be 9 days. so if i have 4 weeks to study for the mid years, that'll leave me with 19 days only! 19 days to finish the whole syllabus for econs, the 6 core topics for geography and stats for math! hah. don't think i'm going to make it for the mid years.

just came back from school! went back for like half an hour to collect my class jersey and notes from sarah. thanks sarah :) i hate to say this. but i miss school. i miss the preparations and fussing around for sports day tomorrow. i know i was telling joseph a few days back i didn't want to be in cheerleading because i had 2 left feet (that's why he thinks my dressed up finger is a hoax) but right now, i'll rather do cheerleading than sit at home or visit the doctor. i'll rather do cheerleading and swim because the performance/race is just one very small part of the entire experience and it doesn't matter if i have 2 left feet.

there'll be so much i'll be missing out! the screaming my lungs out and going home all tired, the sweating it out and jumping all around, the final swimming preparations. the bonding with classmates. the 4X50M swimming race tomorrow. the cheerleading. the whole atmosphere! i'll be missing all that out! and i want to swim! i want to cheer! i want to be involved! it's my last year, my last sports day. but no, i'll have to see the doctor again tomorrow morning for redressing and observation simply because the 72hours after the incision is critical.

great. i feel like a left out in my class. oh well. all negativity aside, i'm already glad to be part of a winning class even though i might not be participating and i'm sure we'll win cheerleading again!! definitely! i haven't seen any class with our kind of spirit. we're already sweeping most of the track medals. i'm sure swimming and J-Stick won't disappoint! :) so, all the best T9!! all the best!

and while everyone's having fun under the sun tomorrow, i'll be visiting Dr. Tan and then coming home to tiramisu, chocolates, ice cream and muffins. yummy. my mother sure knows how to pamper me. haha.

whee! just came back from the doctors! it was scary and painful yet super cool at the same time! haha. i had like 259413874 butterflies in my stomach while waiting outside the room and it's not even a normal room. they call it the "minor operating theatre". the room was freezing!

the doctor gave me 2 injections to numb the entire finger and it was super painful. haha. after that, everything else he did was super cool! he took out this knife, (which looked like a butter knife), made a slit about 1cm long and drained out everything stuck inside. the yellowly thick pus started oozing out and got his gloves all stained, then thick red blood started flowing out, further staining his gloves. wahah. imagine yellow pus and red blood. haha. the slicing part was super cool! they called the entire process "incision and drainage". got the wound dressed up and i've to go back again tomorrow morning to redress it! so i've got 2 days MC! yay!

shall go off now. it's very weird typing. uploaded the swollen finger pictures in the random folder. haha. i just realized i won't need to take my geog and math test tomorrow! double yay considering i haven't even started revising for geog.

got off from school at 8.45AM and went to see the doctor. i had to make a slit on my finger since it's badly swollen and infected but since there was no empty slot in the morning for the surgery room, my finger can only be opened up at 3 later. argh! i'm super scared. the doctor said he has to inject on both sides of my finger then use a needle to poke it. great! don't know if i can swim on friday.

i believe that you have the power to decide how you want your day to turn out. if you wake up and you decide to be all grouchy and you start snapping at people and pulling a long face simply because you're tired, people are going to stay clear. when people stay clear, you start asking yourself why people stay clear and you assume it's because they have a problem with you or they don't want to friend you when in fact they don't. similarly, if something happens during the day, you have the power to choose whether you want to let if affect you or not and the power to decide whether you want to be unhappy or not.

nobody wants to wake up early. everybody has problems with school work, with relationships. everybody faces all sorts of crap every single day. it's not just you. why don't you just try to make the day more bearable?

went to the country club today and guess who i saw at the eighteen hole? our prime minister Goh Chok Tong. haha.

Saturday, May 15, 2004 11:05 a.m.

didn't go to school for the econs test today. my finger's swollen plus i woke up at 7.33AM. haha. so mommy brought me to the doctor. found out that it's an infection. i hope the lump goes down by monday or else i'll have to go back and get the doctors to make a slit. took a blood test too to see if i need to get my hep A&B jabs.

went out for breakfast after daddy came and joined us. haha. oh! and daddy came back yesterday and he got me 3 tops from germany of which one is green! i got shower items from italy and champagne truffles from zurich. yummy! :)

phaty fatty bomb. the verbal section of the SATs was so difficult and there simply wasn't enough time to complete everything, i left out so many questions. phat. oh my. i don't think i ever want to do the SATs anymore. i sat down at my table for like 4 and a half hours! that's simply because the examiners wait till majority of the people are here and then they start plus all those short and useless breaks in between the different sections. bleah. very inefficient. the way the SATs is structured is also crap. i don't see why they can't just give us the whole paper and do it all within 3 hours instead of having those 10min short break. i just hope i do decently well.

anyway, after the SATs, went down to far east to eat chicken rice with sarah, terence and sebastian before sarah and myself went to zara and got a skirt each. yay :) the much needed retail therapy. was supposed to get a mother's day present but couldn't find any. maybe i'll just make mommy breakfast tomorrow.

decided not to go to school because my heel really hurts and it makes walking painful. so i'll stay at home instead and happily continue the reading of Genesis and my storybook! but i don't want to take the SATS tomorrow. i don't want. i don't want! aye.

have you ever realized how delicious rice is? we had a guest come over for dinner tonight and as she took a mouthful of rice, she commented that the rice was very good, and not dry at all. i was wondering how she could even tell whether the rice was good or not. i mean, sure if it was extremely hard and dry or super wet, we could all tell the difference. but how did she tell it was good?

so i started paying more attention to the rice. and i realized too, the rice was good! it wasn't just because the amount of water was just right, it was that the rice itself was good. the grains weren't breaking and all and it even tasted wow on its own. not at all hard or dry.

then i thought about how i've totally forgotten how good rice tastes. to those people living in poverty, it's probably a little taste of heaven. but it made me realize that the reason why she managed to tell how good the rice was simply because she was paying attention to the small stuff. she was paying attention to the small details.

i'm reminded of how at times, many of us, myself included, brush away someone who needs help, or someone who is lonely and needs a friend. how many times, many of us, just simply don't entertain those that are not "popular" or "eye-catching". or how often, in our own chase, we neglect those in need, or those condemned undesirable by us.

Jesus sure didn't abandon or forget about those people that were known as "undesirables" in the society. he stopped by the roadside and gave sight to the two blind men even though the crowd was rebuking the blind men. he healed the man with leprosy even though he had striken with a disease. he sure didn't shun anyone of them.

we'll probably won't understand how it'll feel like to be neglected, to be friendless if we're forever surrounded by friends. but it'll probably suck to be in that position. go that extra mile. be a friend to those unpopular, be a friend to the "undesirables." be a friend to the lonely and unloved.

"heavenly father, teach me to be a friend to those "undesirables". let me never shun them because they're different. thank you for the many friends you gave me. let me be a good friend to them. amen."

To keep your lovely face
ever before my eyes
this is my prayer
make is my strong desire
that in my secret heart
no other love competes
no rival throne survives
and i serve only you.

i've realized the difference between a smart person and a stupid girl. let's assume both finish school early and reach home at 2.30PM.

the stupid girl eats and sleeps from 3.30 till 5.30 while the smart person eats and showers by 3.30 and do a GP paper or something productive during that 3.30-5.30 window.

i'm the stupid girl. i think i should stop taking such long naps. i mean, the reason why school ends early is so that we can go back and study right?
