But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6: 33-34
this morning prayer session was awesome, it was like..God reassuring me and anointing Esther's and Johnson's lips. My greatest fear is that I'm dreamless, that I lack aspiration and I live day to day, so I worry about my career and my future. It often ends without conclusion and ERGHH SCREW THIS I'M GOING TO SLEEP moments, which just completely sucks to the core. I haven't been able to leave it all up to God, though I know that He has plans to prosper me, and has a path in store for me. So ah wells I guess it's time to do so.
am also feeling very thankful, cos in retrospect, the path I took was the best that it could ever get.
I'm constantly bogged down by things that I'm too lazy to do, which sucks, cos it imposes on people, makes their routine less routiney and all. :x
Oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0oh moving on, yesterday was spent with my clique/ three bodyguards HAHA (ie the 1 tall one and 3 short ones) (the autistic and the 3 caretakers) (or simply put yu li, jevon, ruiyi and glen). and it's damn stupid cos we are all frigging retarded. -.-
at 7-11 "glen's vodka" on the shelf. glen: EH LOOK! yu li: ooh glen's vodka. jevon and ruiyi observe for a while price tags below the items: 21.90 60.00 jevon: eh it's the 20 DOLLARS ONE! HAHAHHAHA. glen: ... fine.
and all my spontaneous "eh don't disturb my fats my fats will get angry"
AND I SWEAR JEVON AND GLEN EACH HAVE NINE LIVES. we went to climb glen's roof which was scary cos i'm scared of heights. and guess what glen and jevon slided down the white concrete side of the roof! i mean yehh the chances of skidding off or being unable to stop in time and end up very majestically on the 1st floor are very low, BUT STILL!!!! :/ :/
anyway the nerve wrecking scene goes like this. glen sits at the top while jevon went "whooo" and slided. ruiyi and i cringed in fear while glen goes "WTF?! I DON'T EVEN DARE TO TRY THAT!" meanwhile when we thought jevon was going to die and collapse from weak heart or extreme fear he pops out from the other corner excitedly saying "ehh omg i want to try again it's damn fun!" :S
but glen is a blessed lucky kid cos he has a nice house. very glass-y and it looks as if it will fit very well into some mr and mrs smith thriller let's-attack-each-other-shoot-and-shatter-all-the-glass scene.
finally we ended up making orange/lemon sorbet with his maid and the ice cream maker cos we are very easily self amused kids who are potential domestic housemakers. nah kidding.
tuesday, ruiyi glen and i went to holland v for lunch, which was super random and.. uhm telepathic? and ended up watching BE KIND REWIND in town, which i agreed to on the pretext that it's super troublesome to get home from holland v. :D be kind rewind was good by the way, it's actually not those hilarious movies that you laugh till your sides hurt but forget about it the moment you step out of the theatre.
random conversations.
glen: eh tissue. ruiyi: eh you are like walking maid. - i passed tissue. yu li: hmm but all maids walk which is going to be a joke for the rest of our lives.
got a list of things to do now, which i can choose to go online and forget all about it and then scamper to practise piano and be distracted while doing so, or i shall just start from showering first. haha and i choose the latter so aww too bad (:
New skin, to the lyrics of hands on deck by waking ashland. AND I KNOW POKS(think vanessa leong) ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN IT'S MAF TO CLICK TO NAVIGATE AND SIMPLY NOT READ MY BLOG ):
Waking Ashland was one of my favourite bands some time back (before the hush sound came along, haha), despite people dissing them as too boring, too common, and I still listen to them now cos of my fetish for piano introduction. hands on deck was one of my favourite songs, albeit the fact that it's very emotional, and saddening somehow, NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WITH EMOTIONS THAT FLUCTUATE LIKE THE SINE CURVE. (:
sunday is here and it's going to go like the wind, along with some people's hairs (haha) and today is going to be tomorrow's yesterday, so on and so forth. today's going to be another day when I'll attempt to study AND I REALLY WILL, because there's no more tomorrow to procrastinate. i guess i'll try to read the bible for a while, get some physics revision done, complete econs tutorial , and finally practise my abandoned piano.
on a totally different note, my brother is on for this xphysics thing which includes something as eggciting as absailing down the shaw tower or something. haha. ok fine no one cares. -.-
yesterday was lunch with the autistic +revising concepts; self-study at esplanade (which was more constructive than i foresaw) and mosaic festival with val, jevon, bryan; pool crash course with friendly friends which failed miserably..again.
ooh there was this session with olivia ong at the singapore art cafe, which i saw too, so ahh all is good.
-- Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord - Matthew 21:9
alot of things happened this week if i go day by day this post will end up shit long but ah wells. :/ I'll give it a go.
but the most euphoric thing about this week is that
WE GET TO HAVE A DAY OFF ON 26 MARCH 2008 DUE TO THE EXCEEDINGLY IMPRESSIVE RESULTS ATTAINED BY HC CLASS OF 2007! (: yay at least we get a day off, and now i feel good giving a day off to my juniors for good results achieved by mg class of 2007. instead of feeling undignified sfjkl;ksfd'lak haha.
and zomg this year 90% of the cohort got a for pw which is really just... freaking disgustingly insane. haha and 90% of the people said my new phone is pretty too haha. lol.
wah la la vany visited me this week on tuesday, she laughed like a vanessa at my uniform, gloated and boasted about her acjc uniform like a vanessa, insisted that we take a tons of photos to make sure it captured only her good side like a vanessa, and finally screwed up sandra tan's drawstrings like how a vanessa does. what's new leong hui qin (x
ilp presentation today where i laughed like a retard at all the hilarious videos (JEVON'S CLASS = JOKER CLASS). and all those out there who says that i'm ah lian I'M NOT i'm just really retarded and ah beng if you want to comment on the way i sit o0
finally there was popololo! haha. which is like a cross between apollo and pohpiah. it's cool to make pohpiahs for yourself cos you can just dump a whole handful of the crunchy crispy thing (which by the way isnt peanuts -.-), stuff yourself silly and save dinner money. choe visited me today too but i was running all over the place. and the autistic made me make one while he has training when i was almost running late for piano. -.-
oh i got an E for chemistry! believe it or not HAHA yes i got an E! and no do not console me by trying to say "ay hc paper hard right." cos sandra got a B hahah. AND SANDRA TAN I'M COMFORTABLE WITH MY CLASS AND MY CLASS'S STANDARD DO NOT TRY TO MAKE ME STRESSED OUT BY SMSING YOUR MARKS AFTER YOU GET BACK A TEST. -.-
When you are discouraged by all the bad news, cry out for God’s help. Then bask in the confidence of His assurance. Three thousand years after David, God is still, and always will be, in control.
I used this excerpt at least 4 times, but I like it alot so ah wells. It's cool to know that when you are on earth living this life, going through the whole cycle, you most probably aren't alone, because up there in heaven there is a divine, holy, stronger being who wields absolute control over your life, if you would just leave it up to Him. Life may get rocky, but you know that those are trials and tribulations placed in your life simply for the purpose of making you stronger, firmer and mature. That being said, you know it's ok to screw up, because everything is already accounted for, and everything is part of God's plan.
"Three thousand years after David, God is still, and always will be, in control."
Moving on to posting results, I can't be more thankful that all MG girls cleared the mark, and Bena and Jialin are back together with 6Q and class dynamics isn't going to change. (: But ahhhh apart from whatever that's happening within HC.. I'm completely clueless about turnover and movement of people from one JC to another. UPDATE ME SOMEONE!
CO is getting better and for some reason the conductor has been exceptionally kind to me seeing I'm a newbie..NOT BAD AT ALL, it boosts my confidence. (:
ILP IS FREAKING GETTING ON MY NERVES I NEED TO TEAR IT UP RAHHH. damn.
i've got alot of things to learn and a long way to go.. but i know life's just good the way it is (:
CNY has been pretty fun! (: just that after the 1st visitation i crashed onto my bed and now I don't know how much I collected for hongbao money, or even where they are now. T.T
and my brother flew my aeroplane for visitations cos he is currently a slave for money and is working in the zoo (LIKE HAHA RIGHT) from 8-6 for a measly 100 dollars and 60 dollars tmr. but ah wells i forgive him since he will get the zoo pass which means i can visit polar bears and raccoons without having to pay 20 dollars to the zoological ripoff garden.
yay (x
on a side note, i won money in black jack on the first day! and lost like 2 dollars on the 2nd day. but 2nd day was super sian cos my capital was 6 dollars, which fell to 4 dollars, 2, then 4,6,2,4 AT LEAST LIKE LET ME LOSE EVERYTHING THEN I SURRENDER OR LET ME GO TO 8 RIGHT. so i gave up and went to sleep zzz. and i sleep for at least half an hour at every relative's house which is really quite rude cos i sprawl over the couch heh heh oops.
and i taught my cousin a bit of amath but omg they are actually learning circles' equations which i just learnt 2 weeks ago. AND LUCKILY i learnt it already, or ah wells i'll end up getting mocked. >< but yeh amath is hard now. bleh LUCKY I GRADUATED ALR HAHA.
the very pretty hanging thingy that i see the councillors slogging their guts out for. like seriously "left pull you pull!" and the rightest banner on the 2nd floor is our banner!
AND OMG TODAY I REALISED FOR THE PAST 5 ODD WEEKS, I MIXED UP LEFT WING AND RIGHT WING. like ><'' our class's production! haha ah wells, i'm damn sick of coke now. :x anyway the thing was that we needed the coke cans to make the fire crackers thing, so lichan brought this whole big box of coke to school. on monday and tuesday we had to go around peddling coke at 60 and 50 cents (cheap k) on the condition that the drinker is to return the can after drinking. and coke is just so freaking gassy it's quite :/ :/
we got sponsored 3 yushengs per senior/junior class and since like half our people disappeared we had pretty large portions for each person. :D
after everyone scooted off to high school, secondary school, primary school, etc etc we the remnants of 6Q + arte adjourned to island creamery to indulge in 2 tubs of ice cream. fun (: AND YES I FOUND PEOPLE WHO ARE ANTI _______ YAY! this is mean, but oops we were insinuating/making comments about them pretty loudly at island creamery so boo to that. :x
brownies baking yesterday! this is such a happy picture (:(:
yep so it was brownie selling and coke selling, HAHA OMG EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS SCAMMING PEOPLE. cos what i did was with my gift of the gap i coerced all the potential consumers until i won them hands down. haha and friends were just like "omg scam scam scam." under their breaths. haha. but ah wells my class fund's pocket is burnt.
i've got 6 pictures of lichan BUT no i wasn't stalking him i set my camera on speed mode to take him and the mini m&m. which. failed. haha.
STJ at fish and co glass house yesterday! (5 classes x 2 had stj there btw -.-) pretty fun, i guess. ah wells just that i sat out for games, cos well that's what i always do when i'm tired. sort of. until the second i realised oops yu li that's just too anti-social for your own good. talking makes me realise there's usually more than meet the eye to a person, no? people have deep thoughts k.
and even though i was wearing footsies (you know the semi translucent sock like thing that you wear in shoes) it didn't spare me from the pain i suffered from after walking damn alot. but it saved me from blisters though!
shijun zhonghan bena kevin are just crazy funny people. haha. and my sense of humour and degree of lameness can never rival theirs.
wow people think i look weird wearing contacts ah wells too bad i DO wear contacts. and i think shijun looks like bart simpson HAHA NO OFFENCE.
on a side note I MISS MG! especially chapel (which never seemed as empowering as on 24th jan) and school song. and speaking of school song, i have absolutely no idea how to sing the HC school song, not even the english one. that's not something to be proud of is it -.-
YES I THINK I'M ON TASK TODAY WHEE HOO. Okie i need to research for econs so toodles world (:
YOU KNOW I ACTUALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR CNY AND VALENTINE'S DAY. and since vday isnt exactly a large thing in hc.. i think i'll look like a retard carrying all my bakegoods (i think!) chocolates and flowers! but i like daisies. get me daisies for vday. (:
we had pe today, which in my opinion sucks. haha. vera's disappearance from school today seems to be attributed to it as well YES VERA I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU HIGH AND LOW IN SCHOOL TODAY.
"ok people go run 1 round" and there was this innocent me, secretly snickering thinking "alright 1 round around the track, that's not so bad!"
but apparently, pe teachers and students have completely different ideas about ONE round. the cold hard truth of 1 round was: ok you take the college entrance as the starting point, then you run towards the centre gate, upslope, across the high school section, downslope, and exit through the poolside gate, and run towards the college door, and if that wasn't enough, throw in another 5 inclined pullups for females.
and there's 2.4 trial next week, some one just kill me please. but i was smart enough to offer myself for the cross country official job, better known as the useless marshall who self-amuses herself/himself while gloating at the people running. (:
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! and happy birthday sannn (: i didn't send new year greetings this 2007-2008 cos Jane, Jevon, Bryan, later Joel and I were taking a walk. Distance-wise from Jane's house to Lakeside and back again; duration-wise say 3hours plus. And knowing the klutz I am, if i tried to sms you guys on the walk I'll most probably trip and fall and tumble into the Jurong Lake.
taboo yesterday at (the eleven - 2) + 1 yu li gathering was quite fun!
word: teacher me: miss -cough- is ____? lisa: horrible! a tyrant! evil!
Went to Jeannette's Church thing, pretty interesting, empowering, I teared abit. haha ok it was embarrassing, rather.
And we met Mr Loh omg like SERIOUSLY what's with me and chemistry teachers I met Mrs Tan in Orchard when Vany and I went to watch The Golden Compass; Mrs MM Lim ( sec 2 chem teacher) when I was at Bugis. It's quite creepy come to think of it.
Christmas, New Year and then 2nd Jan -crosses fingers. I'm looking towards school generally, not so much on the part of making friends, orientation and sticking out in a sea of beige and..solid white. On a side note, a certain cough cough refuses to wake up until 7 to go to school early. -_- Sleep owns Excitement. Seriously. I shake my index finger.
I interrupt myself to give myself some time to blog about the birthday kidnap which happened on a sunny afternoon exactly a week ago. (:
Story conversation style. Looking at the photos kind of make me laugh uncontrollably haha.
"HELLO YU LI" Vera greets me with a very conniving smile and swiftly draped wx's emo grey jacket over me giving me no time to react. And look where's Vera's hand? I wanted to pull the jacket but she pushed it back -_-
Ok i was really scared this time around cos I couldn't see a thing! Like I mean in LTC and whatever camps we always cheat cos if you look down you can see something though you are blindfolded? Wx's amazing emo jacket completely obscured my vision la! And I was screaming super loudly " STEP STEP I BET THERE'S A STEP" out of fear that I'll tumble down the steps and embarass myself crazy. o0
Bernice armed with a camera says " SMILE YU LI!" like. for what. -_-
This is the cake. and this is the very happy and surprised yu li. Surprises are coolio man. (:
Bread talk cakes, which eventually ended up in my stomach and converted into adipose tissues under my skin.
PHOTOS STOLEN FROM SHERILYN ON THECITYSONG.LIVEJOURNAL.COM (:
oh on saturday i saw these at aljunied mrt, where they were having major reconstruction.
"not design for human load." "out of ordeer" "please mine your head."
wow apparently there isnt such a problem in the construction sector, but they ought to do some quality control on the output of the english department.
bleh sometimes i feel unappreciated. ):
OH OH THANK YOU TO THOSE WHOEVER WHO WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY! on my blog, a shoutout, sms, friendster etc etc. thank you thank you (:
thank you sherilyn, jevon, val, wini and wx & brother, vera, elaine, bernice for 2 birthday companies!
haha i remembered how i taught vera how to address wx and her brother!
vera: wx.... wx's brother.... me: why dont you try wx's brother's sister.
not exactly very heavy, but you can imagine the agony of lugging these bags up back home.
you thought that your t-shirts and pullovers will never come through right! but nah uh it's here already no backing out guys NOW PAY ME MARNEH BEFORE I BECOME BANKRUPT AND GROW VIOLENT. (sorry i know the collar of the pullover is a bit ugly. take it as a design la.)
and wow the uncle drives a bmw??!!! and everytime i go there he's like ayy we dont make money la super poor. what bull man.
TWO AND THREE: i received elaine's and manda's cards (: thank you dudes. ah everyone's so early it's quite scary.
FOUR: i received the ESIP letter! (: (:
and uh i got a photo from my cousin's wedding. some random shot.
i think i actually look skinny here, that's my founder's dress and tubes make a person look fat. notice my brother's squirrel hair!
GOLDEN COMPASS SUCKED 7 DOLLARS OUT OF MY NON-EXISTANT POCKET.
Golden Compass sucked 7 dollars out of my non-existant pocket. seriously, i think it was really horrible for a movie-of-the-year cum rival of narnia (not that i actually watched narnia) Fang, Vany and I were super lost throughout the show and we were speculating and we were like "ok I think the witch is her mother." and "what on earth is dust?"
answers to all the above: wait for the next installation.
anyhows today we went walked around and I think I was acting like a zara obsessed person when there's nothing to buy in zara. I was like "go zara go zara." and it was quite funny that we tailed an 60-70 plus plus old man cos we wanted to see his t-shirt. I saw that he was wearing an acsi polo tee and it said something like "'75" which i simply assumed was class of 75. maybe it's his son's shirt!
haha stonewashed heineken tshirts are selling at 10 dollars at cine you know that don't you i need new clothes LIKE REALLY REALLY.
I went for my cousin's wedding plus dinner yesterday! decided last minute to go in my daniel yam black dress which i wore to founder's after some goading from my cousins and if i dont wear it it'll go to waste. VERY SAD. VERY VERY VERY. AND FURTHERMORE I WAS DOING RECEPTION. (: but very cold brr.
"HM BOTH OF YOU SERIOUSLY STOP FOOLING AROUND BEFORE YOU BREAK YOUR LIMBS." "HAHA break bones then we both go for the wedding in wheelchairs." "HAHAHAHA"
i got photos! but very very random photos. I cant help it la I'm short, not camera friendly and my camera is sony.
this week is packed packed packed for me! t-shirt printing later (sorry world), primary school gathering tomorrow and golden compass with vany and gang and watching vany buy the cursed t shirt that i have 5 dollars cheaper. ):
i took a some snapshots in sims wanting to blog it, but heck they are so uninteresting so i just a choice few. that is a passing penguin, who happened to see my incomplete snowman and started conversing with the inanimate object.
yesterday was fun (: wishing jevon happy birthday in the morning eventually culminated in a celebration at fish and co at imm, and the 16th year old boy had to stand on a chair while the fish and co staff sang his birthday song. like, haha.
no photos cos i was armed with only a water bottle, wallet and hand phone.
and wini change piano tutor la! -.-
me: haha you seriously cannot teach. jevon: eh i can ok. do you think i'm a good teacher? wini's sister: no. -shakes head jevon: -.- -.-
can you feel it feel it feel it feel it! i'm scared but people out there are wayyy more scared than me cos they dont update their blogs ):
and anyway i've been taking the whiteboard marker and scribbling notes on any possible panes found in my house and sticking mahjong paper all over the house. ok byebye k thanks just so you know see ya have fun i'll find you on 13th november and bern ellie vera elain and me shall go eat sashimi. and vera elaine bern ellie can take turns to drink the soy sauce while i feast on the fresh fish goodness. just kidding nyeh hyeh hyeh hyeh.
my mom bought cadbury hot chocolate it's 18 packets of 3 in 1 for 5+ please it's expensive but it's more worth it than the diluted milo you buy from canteen drink stall and i vow you'll die from its richness. (:
