One Fine Day

Today was really a really nice day, hehehe. It all started off with helping cheryl move her things from home to hostel. This time round there was not much to carry, jus one cycle with me cheryl and her dad moving the things. Phew. Thought i had to huff and puff again. After the moving we cleaned up the really dirty room and we even cleaned the venetian blinds, using toilet paper to wipe off the dust off each and every blind. Hehe but it was worth it in the end when a nice off white clean looking blinds appeared in front of us juxtaposed with the filthy and black one that it was earlier on. After that we went to orchard to have lunch before my church. Was craving for Northern Indian food but then we ended up eating at wisma atria's food republic. After lunch, it was off to church.

The experience in church was great today as I saw how the children begin to treat worship more seriously. Everytime when i stand infront and see the look of concentration and happiness on the childrens' faces it really gives me the joy and motivation to carry on serving the Lord. Today's lesson was on the Lord's prayer, which is actually an instruction from God himself how to pray and it actually contains many powerful messages behind it.

Furthermore, after church today went to watch the movie "conversations with God" with cheryl. Wat a movie it was, and it really touched my heart. The phrase that i would take away from the movie is, "To Stop making a living and start making a life." The message is simple, we are all created for a specific purpose in this life and we should not be consumed and engrossed in making our living the centrepiece of our life. Already in the Lord's prayer, we pray for God to give us our daily bread, indeed it will be given unto us. Moreover, the book of matthew in chap 6 tell us not to worry about wat to eat and wat to wear, as even creatures in the animal kingdom do not worry about such things, why would God want us to worry. The only worry i feel stems from the fact that we are all pressurised to achieve high grades, high salaries and all the jazz. No doubt material stuff is important, and it is our duty to earn our own living but then we should also focus on making our life a life worth living. That day my mum was making a comment that when an employee dies, all the company does is to send the usual condolences and immediately find a replacement for the deceased employee, so it would be no use to slog so hard for such an unfeeling employee. However, when God is the employer, things are different. Every job would be a bundle of joy, and every day would be a step closer to felicity or eternal happiness. But it is jus so hard for many of us to put everything down and put aside our selfish nature to follow our heart. To me the message of christianity is simple, it is all abt freedom, the use of that freedom, and loving God and neighbour. But the application of the message is difficult and continues to be a daily challenge. And I am so thankful to have Cheryl beside me when i face all these challenges and the unending support that i get. Love you so much dear. Ok i think i better sleep already, tomolo is another long day.

Norman's once in a blue moon post

Heheh this is my once in a blue moon post and i better do it before Cheryl makes complaints that i never contribute to this blog. Anyway the past few months have been great, except for the fact that the school work is piling up and stress is starting to creep in. But nevertheless we are still happy. Hehehe now is like 134am in the morning and i am damn hungry. Sitting in the yard now happily typing away on the laptop and guess what two indian peeps have to come and sit down beside me with nice smelling pita bread and thosai with superb and deliciously looking dal curry and some vegetable curry. Ultimate torture. But never mind think i shall go and satisfy my Indian food craving tomolo in the morning when i go for breakfast. Shall eat my fave paper thosai for breakfast yum yum.

Anyway, think the past month have been alot abt food, movies and even a nice walk with Cheryl. And i think me and cheryl are addicted to THAI FOOD> I cannot get enough of tom yum gong and she cannot get enough of phad thai. And i still cannot get enough of mango or papaya salad with the tongue numbing sauce that is oh so delicious. Hmmmph but i still got no chance to share the nice eminent plaza wanton mee with cheryl yet, and also the nice fei fei wanton mee at joo chiat road, the peanut ice kacang at tiong bahru food centre, the nice xiao long bao at tanjong pagar, the nice japanese food at golden shoe car park, the nice japanese ramen at robertson walk, the nice tau hui at selegie road, the nice ice cream at river valley road, and many more tat i cannot remember offhand. Perhaps we should do a kennysia by posting pictures of the nice food that we would be eating. hehehe.

That is all for now. Toodles

grrrr

i is pissed.
i is angry.

i went to school at 10am for a 11am lecture!!!!!!
i is sleepy!!!
roarrrrrrr..
-_-"""""""
i need my beauty sleep.
soduku time. roar.

beating the lazy bug

ugh. into the 3rd week of school and i'm feeling as lazy as ever.
supposed to write some guest lectures but i'm too darn lazy even though it's only 1 page worth of words per lecture.
room has been messy and packing has stopped cos :~
- whenever i get home, i am so friggin tired.
- there's other distractions like the internet and soduku!!! <- yes i just learnt that from sasa

ugh. hate. mess.
so unmotivated. yikes. which reminds me i have to hand in my year out form tmr. the horrors of entering the workforce. i feel so old. drats.

*_*_*_*_*_*

it's kinda freaky the man and i are able to anticipate each other's questions during a conversation and tend to answer it before any of us has the opportunity to ask. hurhur.
zoinks. and like how i'm thinking of something and the man sms-es me exactly what i'm thinking.

then again, this isnt new, but just kinda amusing how we're so in tune with each other. haha.

and we're behaving like twins now. same watch. same necklace pendant. same cylindrical piece of metal. almost same specs. same polos ( well who doesnt own couple-y shirts?) but i tend to disagree on the man's taste for female clothing *heehee* but the ones he spots are really good too *at times* :) same bag. same what else?? well i'm glad we dont share the same panties. haha. else i'd be wearing the equivalent of grannies underpants. whoops!!! :P

well we were born in the same hospital, almost same psle aggregate. same jc. same shitass position in the same cca in sec sch (we went to diff schs of course), same subjects in jc.

well of course we're different in many ways. i'm bloody impatient, while he isnt. i'm easily angered while he isnt. etc... so hehe i guess it's a good balance of similarities and differences. sorry i think i just made u guys feel pukey...


*_*_*__*_*_*_*_*_*_*

selling stuff online has been rather ridiculous, i only sold a pair of slippers and my mum decided she liked one of my bags. the other FIFTEEN interested people have never replied me since. BAH. shitheads.
neh mind. i shall try again. got loads more stuff to sell online, but i dont have the time to take peektures.

in light of previous pictureless posts, i shall try to alleviate your boredom with a picture of muffin on the 'Hong Kong Express'. :D it was pretty good. but then again, i was starving..
fug blogger!!!!!!!!!!! -_____-""""""

the combination of sour sweat and axe oil is a good substitute for chloroform.

X____X""""

booohoooo!!!!
the baggie i was eyeing has been sold out online!!!!
:...(

i'm such a bimbo.. :(
budden.. i made a decision to only buy it if it was still available after the weekend.
aiyah. that was hoping against hope.
but at least (!!) i hab monies to buys my watch. :)
back to more readings..

selling stuff online - u get to meet the most kiam people.
aiyohhhhh.. how liddat?!?!
anyway i had 6 interested buyers in the time span of like a few hours. yay!!! haha

a phuketing we will go~~

phuket from 5-8jan '07 and it was a fun little getaway..
heehee.. just some pics i promised..
top left - norm and i enjoying some road side bbq food.. the papaya salad, bbq catfish and chicken were fantastic!! only 100bht for 3 dishes!!!
top right - some overly sweet iced milk tea.. eeyuk. it was an orangey colour when it first came and some aussie tourist beside me didnt believe it was milk tea either.. hahahha
bottom left - 'MONday night! MONday night! MONday night! TOmorrow NIGHT! TOmorrow NIGHT! TOmorrow NIGHT!!' damn was it irritating.. some muay thai advertisement with inbuilt loud hailers. argh!!! and it was touring patong beach so that every 15mins or so u hear it blasting away.. man on top was simulating a fight. hahah..

blah blah blah. so i am too lazy to blog about phuket :P

going for baptism classes in may.. missed the first few lessons for the current cycle.. so the next best time is in may..
eeks!! i is nervous!! i havent submitted my form yet though..

finished a rather intensive weeklong project and i spent the previous 15 hours snoozing away till mr teo messaged me.. "bling!!!!" and i first thought it was the alarm clock..

stupid swatch watch broke on a boat from phiphi to phuket. bahh.. now have to waste money.. saw a puma one for 178 but the man said it was overpriced.. my swatches have never lasted me more than 3 years.. and i dunno what to get!! saw a fossil one at 155.. very nice but a little too classy for now.
i need an all round watch.. sporty yet classy yet rather manly. yah i have very specific tastes.. and most of all, it must be affordable.. hahaha.. where to find?!?!?!
anyhow, it must have the the needles and stuff, chronograph issit? plus!! all the minutes must be marked, and preferably have a date thingy as well..
yes.. i is so fussies. :P bleh. now i is tempted to surf for watches and get some ideas.
i love white watches.. heehee..
*hint hint*
no lah!! i'd rather get my OWN watch by myself!! :P
fuss pot saying tata for now!!

heeheee..
came back from phuket at the wee hours of 2am~
flight was extremely turbulent throughout the whole duration but luckily the entire flight was 1.5 hours only. .
great fun at phuket, just spending quality time with norman, like 'dou1 feng1' on a rented scooter, picky shopping for singlets, snorkelling at phiphi island where the moorish idols were machiam free, spotting a dunno-what sea snake ( sea snake = sea snake = sea snake), a f***ing big trigger, squirming behind the man when the yellow angelfish things were swimming towards us.. ack!!!! wearing our straw hats and being very touristy, snacking on street side barbeque and papaya salad, mimicking the thai salespeople "lookie lookie lookie, i gib u cheep cheep, morning ply(price), i hab your sai ( i have your size), munching on tom-yum ikan bilis, etc etc etc..

:D

he did all the bargaining, i did all the *ahem* well ALMOST all the shopping. heehee

first day of school = tiring
this barcelona chief urban planner came and i was straining to keep awake and understand his heavily - accented english..
everyone was clueless about everything and it was rather funny.. like "what's going on man?"

aiyah pictures later lah. i is lasies as usuals.

funniest thing that happened today..
"hello?"
"aye very noisy leh, what's it?"
"do u want minnie mouse hairband? i'm at eurodisney now!!!"
"for what!! aiyoh dont want lah!"
" but you'll look cute in it!! hahahaha.. and i'll get a mickey one for norman so u can wear it together ( or something like that)"
"ok lor.. your money mah.. haha"

o_0""""""
i expect someone has too much money and decides to be a kid once again at disneyland.. hahah..
but i is touched.. :P
minnie mouse hairband for sale anyone??? hahahaha.. just kidding :P

it's gg to be an intensive first week. and it feels strange that the others arent back from exchange. boo. :X
well i gotta surf some sites for now..
taaa!!!!

happy 2007!!

it's 1.58am in the morning and i can't get to sleep.
must be the horribly long nap i took in the afternoon.
boo.
i've run out of websites to surf, and nothing online really catches my eye. haha.
well, i did spot a gucci bag, but i'll try to find something similar in phuket.
however, i've spotted quite a few people toting it around, so i'll reconsider :P
anyway. love the fact that woven straw bags have made a comeback. heehee.
i heart mulberry's bayswater too.. though charles and keith has a rip-off version but not in any colour that i really love..

internet's still rather laggy, but better than before..
rather shocked by all the earthquakes, horrible weather, sinking ferries, missing planes, coups, bombings,etc that have been happening lately..
seems as if each year has its share of 'memorable' moments that everyone prefers not to remember.
can't remember which year that everyone famous was dying, another year where the word 'terrorism' and all the other words associated with it was a fad, etc..
so what will 2007 be like? hmmmm....

i feel that mr teo and i have stepped up to another level of our relationship (well i realised that was some time ago, but i feel it more than ever now that i'm back from the land of shopping)

looking at 'younger' couples, i've realised that we've grown a lot since we've started nearly 5.5 years ago, and its rather funny that their behaviour's rather deja vu of yesteryears. hahhaha.
and it makes me feel more mature too. :P
i'm really excited for our first holiday in phuket :P and we're gonna record it down with a photo-scrapbook thing.. he's really excited about it. haha :P
he's terribly inspired by the movie "the notebook" hee.. :D
and we're gonna start on a little book project together.. heeheeehee.. so excitings...

gonna take tiger airways.. *ack* but luckily it's only 3 hours..
a therepeutic 'treatment' at strip tmr~ yay!! and i'll soon be ready for thailand..
:P

my aunties have been 'complaining' that i've lost so much weight.
but the max i've lost is 2kg. and my actual weight fluctuates all the time.
but damn that one of my aunties mentioned that "luckily your face hasnt lost weight" 0_o""""
darn those cheeks.
but fug it. worse is that my boobs have dropped by a full size. damn!!!!
despite the weight loss, it isnt due to exercising nor really eating right..
so the man has got me started on a healthy regime..
and his place has a little gym so it makes working out all the more convenient...
tho i can't help pigging out on nutella and the stash of ice cream in the freezer.. heehee..
but at least i've done 2 workouts since i've come back.. :P
but nothing compared to his marathon-like training sessions... eeks!!
we'll see how it goes :P

it's darn boring w/o pictures i know.
but the camera's lying hidden somewhere in the house, and i can't be bothered to dig it out :P
i'd better get my butt back to my room..
something smells dead in here.. and that's rather freaky..
egad!! it's 2.26am now..
bed! pronto!
