Miracles Happen

miracles happen once in a while
when you believe
you showed me dreams come to live
that taking a chance was right

when you believe.

confused.
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
surprisingly these few days, I've been at peace. until, Mrs Loh said she'll be calling my parents. like SIGH. mids got me thinking quite abit... and strangely enough after that one time, it was as if the storm was over. not that sunshine is out and shining scorchingly everyday, but it's been pretty fair weather. sometimes I wonder when I speak in riddles, when I grow up and look back at such entries, will I know what I was talking about back then. it makes me wonder...

it's officially the 2nd week of lessons, and honestly I dislike going to school. somehow, it's ironic that as you learn more, you also find yourself being dissatisfied more. what then becomes the purpose of life? life is supposedly something whole...yet often, we find ourselves going around in circles, pushed about by what we unconsciously allow ourselves to, and in the end we don't know what we really want. it's confusing right? I'm confused too.

today I came up with this conclusion that my brain has started to degenerate. my mind is slow, my memory is literally non-existent. this goes in line with what my granny told me about soy bean speeding up brain degeneration aka me.

studying is like the dreadful 2.4km to me- tiring, exhausting and there's barely any sense of direction in that. you just go round and round and round so that you can make the grade. then after that, it's as if you didn't do it. so how does it affect our work life in the future? is failure ever accepted?

Sunday Morning

The most pitiful thing that could befall a person: having sight without vision

The fastest way to start dying: when you stop dreaming

The purpose of the meaning of life: restoring broken hearts, broken dreams, broken hope

The division within religion: cats & dogs

The challenge for faith: the audacity to make decisions which are consistent with faith, not fear

The work of Man must come to an end, before the work of God can begin

in battle
Friday, July 11, 2008
I wish I never knew you,
I wish I never had to care.
I wished for you to disappear,
I wished you would be fair.
But you wouldn't let me have my way,
you wouldn't let me see,
Until I chose that very day,
You ran away from me.

this is officially the first week of school for me after all the exams and well enjoyed break. I guess I haven't been able to adapt to it yet since I catch myself feeling tired after a few hours of being bored. school + results stink. if only things could be like what my dad said 'students shouldn't have to go to school. attend tuition enough already. should just burn the school down'. watching everyone around me improve from the common test is really great. I think I'll be seeing the principal soon. fabulous. anyways, this is just some redundant rambling. what I really want to say is below:



Make-up is a woman's tool.

It is like an armour for battle.

Done properly, you achieve beauty.

Yet, at the slightest emotion, the consequences are drastic.

I am now in battle.

a day out
Sunday, July 6, 2008
I'm tired to talk too much. so I'll let pictures do the talking and just narrate along.


fri- met SG10 for some charity concert at hci...wasn't so bad. haha. but omg, the jam was so bad that the cab meter was like overflowing with joy. took a bus to kap to eat before I met sher. the night out with sher was FUN TO THE MAX :) literally surreal. but it was really interesting...

this is what happens when you have a lousy camera phone and no light. you resort to the little things.




sat-MG DANCE NITE '08
went with wen. quickly left before we decided to be sociable and toured the school a little before realising how much we really missed our times in MG. compared to MG, whatever schools we are in, pales in comparison. took a bus over to the the food centre to have dessert before heading home. met val, serena and emery at the bustop. OMG, their high-pitched shrilly voices have not changed. the old times rock.

where the labs are...science no longer applies to me :)

sun-church, town, bugis, funan

church: today, children's ministry was so busy! we were outta helping hands. then some girl had a missing part in her craft, and so she wanted me to help her find it. and so you know talking to little kids you have to bend down right, omg...this boy totally upskirted me from behind la. he lifted my skirt, lucky I wore shorts...natural born perve. thank gdness he's still a kid, if not I would have given him a well rewarded slap across his face. ah, but kids are adorable after all. snj didn't come today, so looking forward to having them again.

town: in a futile attempt to look for that flea market, we wound up going to hollywood secrets to have wen's brows done...we were really tired after lunch so we kinda decided to leave after buying sweet talk.

bugis/funan: met kenny and mum to go sim lim to look for his laptop...and omg. I ABSOLUTELY DISLIKE SIMLIM. it's like walking aimlessly round and round each level and going into every single shop to look at the exact same thing. it's like..gosh...how do guys even stand looking at the same things and actually remembering every single information. while my brother was staring at all the info, my mum and I were like 'oh! this one's $999!'

note: girls look at prices, guys look at substance.


with love,
