home sweet home

attended a wedding today at the old parliament house. that whole area was road-blocked coz of the ndp preview so we had to make one big round to get inside the building. you seldom hear of people getting married inside the parliament house do you...haha me too! it was so different. but i'd definitely still want to get married in my church next time, no matter how exotic wedding locations can get. heh.

so glad to be home now... plus it's a cold night so it should make for a good sleep later. :) saturday night tv is pretty bad, did you ever notice that btw? haha... just a thought.

oh last night i had my p6 reunion and it was so so cool. it was definitely one of our best reunions. plus our teacher could make it!! we had a great time reminiscing and laughing like mad... thank God for a night like that.

to ming'en: WELCOME HOME!!! missed you.

edit -

i don't understand why my double spacing is missing! like suddenly it went on strike. :( it makes reading so much harder, doesn't it? does anyone have the same problem? can anyone tell me how to fix it?

so many things on my mind

what a week it has been!! i'm exhausted from all the work coz it's the last week of the term so the deadlines decided to all appear at the same time suddenly. like so many things clouding my mind and giving me a perpetual headache. things in year 2 sure are different!! but i don't want to complain so i shall move on...

bigger things have happened. first, the IOC. i think it was really cool that it took place right here! but i think all the action was somewhere in the city; i didn't feel affected at all here in my little west coast, so i just followed the papers closely... it was really interesting. and i was rooting for PARIS! erica and i were so disappointed. we so wanted it to win!! and it has tried THREE times already!! they should let it win!! :( our second choice was madrid. at least these two cities had the spirit!

but oh man poor london! poor poor london! the shock and sadness of it all just gripped me there and then and, call me apathetic or what, but i can't really bear to follow the news coz it's just too sad... i remember when the tsunami happened i couldn't bear to know what was happening too... and all the other sad things that happened over the years. i think singapore is really blessed. well and another thing that hit me was that last time when such tragedies took place, it would make me think, "people are suffering over there, and here i am in school having to be concerned about HOMEWORK and GRADES??" that was one of the reasons why i wasn't happy in school. but i think now i'm in a better situation, in poly and all, so i feel like my life is not so unmeaningful anymore. well something like that lah. i don't really know how to express my feelings.

though school has been tough recently, it ended on a pretty good note for me today coz i can see that my friends are making an effort to curb their use of vulgarities. thank God for that!! i'm really thankful to God, my Saviour and my Provider. My refuge and strength.

and how true!

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

fullerton chocolate buffet

ok the chocolate buffet was pretty nice at the start. the ambience was super good... everywhere was dimly lit, and we sat on these amazingly comfy couches, not chairs. there was this chocolate fountain thing, where you put your fruits and stuff in and get them all chocolatey. i tried that first. and then i ate a chocolate tart and some other small chocolates. i also tried the fullerton chocolate cake. and that was it. i was gone by one and a half rounds. i couldn't even finish the cakes on my second plate!! i was feeling sick and i was seriously missing my bar chor mee by then. hehe ok so i think it's not very wise to bring me to a chocolate buffet... though i DID enjoy it in the general sense... like lazing around and leaning back on the couch and just talking... it felt very holiday-ish. oh what would i give to live in fullerton for one night... hahaha.

i just thought...

maybe i should blog. since i'm kinda tired of always seeing the same old post here. haha. time flies and i'll be having my term break in a week's time. life seems so great during term break... i can just imagine all the rest i'll take, the DVDs i'll rent, the shopping i'll do... but until then, it is sad. :( nobody likes deadlines. haha but aiyah in the end everything will turn out ok lah, as it always does. i'm not so worried about things, i'm just sian about the work i have to do. but having God beside you is a real comfort. in Your presence, that's where I am strong. i just have to focus on Him and not let worry take over me. the things of this world seem so small compared to You, O God. God is in control!! how wonderful is that. :)

some of my primary school classmates are coming back from overseas and we're gonna have a reunion! looking forward to that. and tonight i'm going to fullerton for chocolate buffet with some of my sec 4 friends. pay $28 to GET FAT! tsk. haha. but i'm quite excited about going inside fullerton, and of course meeting up with my friends. ok back to work.
