While changing the featured quote on my Addicted to FRIENDS Facebook application, I found the origin of our name!!!

"First name Crap, last name Bag" - Mike Hannigan

I don't know who Mike Hannigan is, but he's cool. :)

MGS REJOICE

2009-03-09T11:03:00.003+08:00

Hey friends!
As some of you know, some of us are helping to organise LoveMGS 2009! This year's theme is called MGS REJOICE. It's a special year because it's not only the 10th anniversary of LoveMGS, but it's also being handled by a brand new committee!

Chairperson: Debbie Wong
Admin: Cassandra Yeap (05)
Publicity: Kelly Kwan
Worship and Logistics: Crystal Wong
Prayer: Charmaine Poh
Hospitality: Mun Weilin
Follow up: Charmaine Poh and Mun Weilin

As with any God-centred worship event, lots of prayer is needed. Hence, we're looking for prayer warriors for this year's event. If God compels you to be part of this team, please reply to this post on the tagboard and we'll promptly add you to our list. You'll be consistently updated on the progress of LoveMGS, and will also be informed of any prayer meetings or walks.

Our team needs much guidance and direction; after all, the entire event is meant to glorify God's name. And we ought to glorify it in the way He wants it to be glorified, no? He has promised, countless times in the Bible, that if we search for Him we will find Him. So let's claim this promise, and believe that this year's event will be a life-changing one for many of the MG girls. :)

In His love,
Char (on behalf of the entire LoveMGS comm)

tagboard back!

2008-11-19T18:02:00.002+08:00

so its down to BIO MCQ tomorrow and i cant concentrate on revising anything at ALL.

hahaha i sort of packed all my notes away after bio 3 ended anw. how was exams for you all! i think i screwed up econs and bio 2 BAD. haha oh and gp too i think. bleaahh. but ohwell i'm trusting God to work the miracle somehow. to get me into a course that i want (which i dont even know).

sighh i've been thinking abt doing law but i dunno if i can cope with it. so much critical thinking and analysis is needed and if a passage/subject doesnt interest me my mind will drift to something else. i suppose accountancy will be safer for me over law cause i think multi-tasking is still possible while you're trying to get figures to balance. whereas in LAW you cant multi-task! hmm. okay that's a bad example of my reservations about choosing law.

SEE i cant give good examples either hahaha.

i just drafted my personal statement to apply for law in the uk and it sounds cheesy. (HAHA and i cant believe i called my blog cheesy-grin in sec2. thank goodness it's not alive anymore. i hope.)

anyway, random interjection: my math teacher was suggesting that if we(girls) study local, we shld go to the medicine faculty everyday to eat lunch and hopefully make nice SMART guy friends who will secure a good job in the future so we dont have to work. hahaha.

okay i should really go do some bio now. i've been practically doing nothing the whole day. cant wait till tmr!

all the best to all you peeps doing lit! hang in there!

LOVE

cheryl

2008-10-08T21:48:00.003+08:00

i don't know about all of you, but i'll miss my school.

i was thinking of going on at length about things like not having to divide a one hour and forty minute break into 3 portions (forty for eating and talking to people, forty for IS rehearsal and twenty for inevitably wasting time) to maximise productivity, or not having to whine about how we fell asleep at 9 pm the day before and didn't do gp cos dance rehearsal was so exhausting, or... i am contradicting myself, aren't i.

so perhaps some of the things i've just mentioned don't sound particularly worth missing, but.. they are. at the expense of sounding sadistic there is some kind of collective joy in trials. i guess this only comes to pass when you've got a community around you who is going through the same situation, and who cares. i'm glad to have found that here, in ac. of course i don't mean my two years spent here have been nothing but trial after trial. there have been irreplaceable, joyous moments as well.

i guess the thing that makes leaving jc different from leaving mg is that this time, we know that the path ahead is no one else's but our own. apart from some of us who might end up in nus or ntu or smu together, the rest will find ourselves in different parts of the globe. and this time, there is no retreating into our comfortable cliques anymore. we're really growing up guys.

that said, it shouldn't scare us. we know the path ahead holds euphoria and disappointment in the same breath, but we also know that we are able to emerge victorious. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope an a future." Jeremiah 29:11. Our God is able, He is mighty, He is faithful. :)

see you friday guys!

- char.

2008-09-20T21:53:00.002+08:00

hello all!!

yay we're finally meeting this friday:D

anyway my point of blogging again is because of this inspirational testimony i heard today. it left me quite in awe so i shall share my awe with you all(:

a few years back i met this girl who was working in SYFC..okay it wasnt a girl it was a young woman of 20 plus who was going to get married already haha. when she was 19, she was offered this super prestigious music scholarship to study in some uni in London (cant rmbr which). it was fully paid for and encompassed everything she could want. music was her interest, her talent, her passion, and the music scholarship was a total dream come true. plus, her family wasnt very well off either.

BUT after much consideration, she turned it down.

her reasons: 1. she was afraid the scholarship would get to her head and she'd become proud about it.

2. she was afraid music would become her idol

3. she wanted to serve in SYFC and if she went overseas she wouldnt have that opportunity.

so she declined the offer and went to study sociology in NUS.

anyway during that period of time when she could have been overseas, something happened in her family that needed her help. if she hadnt, um i dont exactly know what would have happened, but she was glad she was in singapore to be with her family.

so that testimony struck chords in my heart today and the echoes of it are still reverberating. i mean, the music scholarship was everything she could ever want yet she turned it down because she didnt want anything to tempt her from her relationship with God.

FAITH.

she didnt want to take up the offer because she was afraid she'd become proud.

HUMILITY.

she didnt regret not taking up the scholarship because she'd rather be serving God in SYFC and be with her family.

SACRIFICE.

i'm just awed by her decisions. cause apparently everyone around her that time was like WHAT you didnt take up that scholarship! it may have been foolishness in the eyes of the world, but it sure wasnt in God's eyes. today she's happily married, a full-time mom and expecting her second kid((:

i'm glad for her.

that testimony left me thinking about my priorities- do i strive to please God or to gain accomplishments for myself? its so hard to do the former, especially when the world will point fingers at you and label you as foolish/unconventional/irrational/stupid.

but i guess ultimately, what the world thinks of you shouldnt bother you at all..

"for has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" (1 Cor 1:20) &

"the wisdom of the world is foolishness in God's sight." (1 Cor 3:19)

well i hope this testimony will be an inspiration to you guys as much as it was to me- evidence that God DOES bless those who step out in faith,holding on to nothing else but Him; that God will seem even more real to us if only we are willing we take the first leap.

i really admire that girl.

anyway i hope all your prelim results were okay? even if they arent, dont worry cause you've got an empathizer here whose prelim results arent gonna be! hahaha so anytime you wanna rant about how you could have done better, call me cause i can rant with you and we'll rant until we're satisfied(:

hahaha alright liverpool's playing stoke city right now i'm off to watch! :D

SEE YOU ALL FRIDAY!

love

cheryl

2008-09-18T09:06:00.002+08:00

CHERYL! IM FREE FOR A DATE!!! hahaha.

and omg my sentiments exactly. i hate how im so complacent because i always tell myself ib exams have no kick, dont need to study and still can do relatively well and stuff but then i know i have to study but this stupid pride of mine gets to me all the time and then when i finally decide to study i start stressing. i barely make sense i know, but then again, did i ever make that much sense? haha.

and yeah, i don't talk to any of my classmates bout God either.. its kinda. strange. and i'm really guilty of pushing God away, almost the entire year or more so Cheryl i'm in a much worse situation than you. how do you ever get out of this 'my walk with God is so crappy i wanna live a life of worship but i just sit around and not do anything bout it save for some days when i decide that maybe i should try harder' cycle?! somebody help): which reminds me, lets have another crapbag cell meeting!

okay i should be studying for chem now.. got a paper tmr, my last paper! but great, i've gotta go to the doctor for this blood clot in my toe thats been there for more than 1 half months and it didnt bug me till this week when it started hurting and lo-and-behold i cant walk properly now. great.

SEE YOU ALL SOON, and if you guys want dinner, you're more than welcome to come over and i'll ask my mommy to cook something realllyyy nice! if she doesnt mind of course. haha

<3 dee

2008-09-17T21:53:00.002+08:00

hello!!!

my prelims just ended yesterday and they were BAD. seriously. i'd never felt so bad after an exam in my life especially for math! i read this qns wrongly and got 10 marks minused straightaway:( plus i made a ton of mistakes i could have avoided. it doesnt help either that math is my best subject and best hope of doing well. sigh.

i think God's trying to tell me something. how i shouldnt be proud and over-confident and trusting in myself so much. i'm not proud of this, but i marginalised God throughout prelims. sort of pushed Him out of the picture. and i'm not sure what my motivations for studying are anymore. it seems so long ago that i once used to think about doing well for His glory..

haha you know what.i think i have a love-hate relationship with myself. i'm so self-centred, yet there are so many things i wanna change about myself. and i miss the days when i was closer to God. i hate the way i dont seem to have much faith in Him anymore.

oh oh and i MISS YOU GUYS.

hahaha i realised this entry is just random spurts of whatever's running through my head now. i'm seriously stuck as to which course to apply to in uni. i cant really imagine myself in any course in uni. haha which is worrying right? i guess i really wont mind doing law cause it seems interesting, but i dont think i have the caliba for it..i think i'll most likely end up in the banking/finance/accountancy/management sector. unless i go overseas to do occupational therapy or something.

rawr i dontknow!! and i need to know soon cause i need to start applying for overseas unis in case i dont get into anything here.

sighh i'm confused.

and as stuck as mud:/

i really miss talking to you guys. i dont really talk to my classmates about deep stuff i.e. things that really concern me cause it'll be linked to spiritual stuff which they dont know about:/

so why arent you doing anything about it cheryl?

i cant answer that): i suck i know.

on a lighter note, i'm happy cause today there was no school and i spent the whole day downloading nice songs and videos into my ipod((: i've got gymnastics videoclips of nastia liukin and shawn johnson(: woots! and a fernando torres song which cracked me up when i first heard it. hahaha.

hope to see you guys SOON! i've got no school next tuesday who's free for a date?? haha.

take care and dont burn yourselves out studying k!

to nana dee tessa and april, PRESS ON(:

love

cheryl

<3

2008-09-16T17:50:00.002+08:00

hello everyone!
just as liza, said, i miss all of you guys):
PLEASE we MUST meet up next week OKAY?

anyway, i'm still in the midst of papers and it's not been going great thanks to worrying bout uni applications while having papers.. but i just paused and reflected on how all of us are really blessed by God. Be it in our grades, being superwoman like kelly, we've all really got so much to be thankful for even if things in life arent going great.. and just as i lay in bed last night thinking, the lyrics of this song suddenly came to my mind out of no where, so just read it as a reminder of God's grace, God's love, God's faithfulness and how He truly deserves everything we can offer to him in worship for all that He has seen us through. Even when we're down, guess we still have things to give thanks for, even the simplest things of a roof over our heads!

You are the peace that guards my heart
My help in times of need
You are the hope that leads me on
And brings me to my knees
For there I find You waiting
And there I find release
So with all my heart I’ll worship
And unto You I’ll sing

For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we worship and adore You
Father we long to see Your face
For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we love You
And we worship You this day.

and if you guys got time, go to godtube and search '99 balloons' and watch.. some video my cell leader shared with us last week. really touching.

dee(:

2008-09-12T20:57:00.002+08:00

hello friends. i have not seen you all for the longest longest time, even though some of you exist studying in the same school as i! haha. anyway, after the rj, hwachong, ib and whatever other school people finish their prelim papers, we all go out to dinner okay! i think nana finishes last, on the 22nd, so we can have dinner that weekend or something okay! i miss you guys :(

to the ac people: hope results went okay today
to the rest of the people still taking exams: ALL THE BEST FRIENDS (: may God guide you through, and give you strength even to finish this lap!

2008-07-23T17:05:00.002+08:00

hello everybody!

i was actually gonna go off to study but when i popped by here i decided to blog!

dee are you alright, cheer up. :/ i guess things do get screwed up, that's the way life is, but in the larger scheme of things all these temporal troubles like stupid music teachers don't matter. it is important, no doubt, but God is in control and whatever happens will be alright. He knows what He's doing. you know, i only came across this phrase recently - He knows what He's doing - but i realised it does make so much sense. we always talk about how God is in control and He has good plans for us and sometimes we get desensitized because its been said so often, but when i heard that phrase i found that it captures the wisdom and grandness of God. He is sure of how He works, although we aren't. He is the boss and the world is his company. He knows how to run it and how things should go, so we should just trust the boss cos we're mere staff. (: so dee, take heart. (: every time i see you i get reminded of how you aren't always doing well, but its so hard to ask you and get to the real heart of it all. but its okay, i'll pray... (: take care!

as time has gone on i've realised that i am completely satisfied with just those couple of people who are my pillars. they're enough for me. (: sometimes people get so caught up in being popular or having a wide social circle they fail to realise that the measure of friendship isn't found in the quantity, but the quality. the depth of love far outweighs the sparse but broad affection seen in so many relationships. i would go to the ends of the earth for those i love. (: but i guess why i even bother to reach out to others is cos i feel like God wants me to show them His love. cos we are called to be salt and light to the world, like cities on a hill, like stars in the sky that cannot help but shine His light unto others. so in the end, just be yourself. (: keep those who matter close, and only use God's love to reach out to the rest. otherwise you'll feel tired or it'll be for the wrong reasons. but hey, that's just me.

i have prelimsssss to study for. so i shall be off! sorry if i talked so much nonsense, i hope it somehow helps someone.

ok byebye!

love,

char.

2008-07-22T23:52:00.003+08:00

i wish i were in acjc. i hate my school): the school's just got a serious problem.. first my EE gets screwed over then today i find out that my practical recording 2 months ago was never recorded cause of the teachers' absentmindedness and the settings of the recorder were wrong.. he even said just yesterday that i dont have to worry bout my practical cause its all done and recorded and he gave me 20/20 for my mid years. then i was bitching bout it to my other music teacher who told me to ask him infront of her and his responses were just retarded and she's like 'i pity you' and i havent prac piano in 2 months and im probably gonna hevt o record it next week cause if i drag it on its gonna clash with my lit oral exam. how's that my fault): its really. frustrating and depressing and im suddenly so stressed my prelims are in 6 or 7 weeks i think and i havent even started studying and ive barely started studying for my lit exam too):

remember how i used to complain last year like how i was such a loner in school and stuff and how badly school sucks. i think im back to that state again. just way worse. bleh. im in such a ihatetheworldeveryonejustscrewoffanddontdisturbme mood maybe thats why im ranting here because i dont even know where else to rant im going mad ): pah.

okay my next post shall be happier. i promise. if its sad i wont post it. ha. okay study hard people. dont be like me and just give up on everything this year. not the smartest thing to do after 11 years of education.

The broken clock is a comfort,
it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting
though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best,
like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart,
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning
you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded,
I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose,
they're still looking for life

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on
to the words you say
You said that I will be ok

MURIEL GRACES THIS BLOG WITH HER MAGNIFICENT PRESENCE!(:

2008-07-20T09:13:00.002+08:00

hello everybody!!!!!!
muriel here!
i haven't written here for so long, i thought i'd forget the username and pw. ARENT YOU PROUD OF ME THAT I REMEMBERED?!(: anyway i must be mad, i'm updating this at 9.14am. i hope i work up the resolve to actually GO to church later. haha. i'm cramping): dee passed her deesease to me.

anyway! i suppose i must talk about prelims since they are imminent right. (nureen, google it if you dont know what it means.) all the best to everybodayy(: i'm quite sure you'll pull through, and even if your results arent stellar, fear not for there's still the final one which is A'S!! i remember o's, when we were all there together in the same place, pushing each other on and, especially for me, helping each other out. i must say i benefitted very much from this, for i was daft and didn't know anything at all. (not that now i know alot still. hahaha) anyway, i think my point is that, though physically we may no longer be in the same school and all that, you are the one's whom i'll always think of and pray for during exam times. i don't think you're ever really far away, coz at least you're always in my <3.>

okay so anyhows. do work hard everyone, and don't give up(: i love you all truckloads. let's have a get together soon! i think it might be wise to wait till prelims are over though. but we'll have a nice happy fun day with loads of junk food (and cucumber sticks for the anorexic ones coughvoncough) and we'll ketchup then yea? till next time,

MUCHMUCHMUCHMUCH<3<3<3
and
GOD BLESS(:

2008-07-13T19:58:00.003+08:00

hello friends! how have you all been doing??
i know i've kinda been missing in action recently, but it's not my fault! with frisbee like bout 4 times a week, it's no wonder that i don't even have time to study much less catch up with you friends! but i promise, after prelims, i will be back in action, and you all will be able to enjoy my company once again! (:
you know my throat feels terrible right now. my sister says it's some lympnox thing or something that sounds like that. somebody who does bio go check it out! it hurts to even swallow water maybe. ah well.

hope everyone's not too stressed studying for prelims and all. i know i am. but well. another milestone to go then we'd all be in uni and on the path to our careers! haha. which reminds me i've yet to know what i want to study. but i know that i'd probably just want to marry some rich guy and start my own business. like a cafe or something! haha. but ethel's classmates were talking, and they think that i'd end up being some power career woman, who doesn't want to marry my boyfriend because i want to focus on my career, and i wouldn't want kids because they'd just be a distraction and interfere with everything. haha oh well.

anyway have fun friends. i must go do tutorials.

pictures!

2008-07-12T22:39:00.005+08:00

this is mainly cos of nureen, cos i don't like facebook and have been ignoring her reminders. haha! was thinking of updating about my life but perhaps another day. haha. procrastinator extraordinaire

2008-07-08T18:54:00.003+08:00

HELLO FRIENDS(:

i havent seen some of you in the looooonngest time): ELIZA AND CRYS where have you guys gone! haha we just finished block tests last wk so i'm taking a well-deserved(i think) break before starting to mug for prelims. blocks went fine i guess? bio was surprisingly manageable hahaha i think my school's bio dept finally decided to be more humane.

anyway i went for the psc career fair on sat and saw denise tessa debbie and mich yeo(: i think i might be interested in MOE/MOH/MCYS/MFA? grahh i dunno. but i eliminated the monetary authority of singapore and PUB and NParks and SAF and URA. at least its a start!

i like being a student. you dont have to care about money matters or people backstabbing you or getting bonuses/promotions or whether or not you'll be fired tomorrow or smth. compared with the stress of workload school stress is a mere fraction! hahaha i'm talking like i'm 60. whoa cheryl dont age too soon. but i wish i could stay a student forever! i was just thinking the other day what my greatest ambition in life is, and here's what i thought of: (it's a multi-step process hehe)

1. working as a teacher of any sort for a while

2. getting married to a guy who earns substantial income when i'm 24/25 (aha dont ask me what substantial means)

3. having 3 kids

4. retiring as a teacher and becoming a stayathome mom

5. giving part-time tuition/piano lessons

6. spend the rest of my life catching up with friends, raising my kids and doing things i love:D

ahhhhhhh.

LIFE IS GOOD(:

hmmm i was just contemplating whether or not to publish this post but i decided i should since nobody else reads this blog except us right? i hope. alright i'm off now! all the best mugging for prelims!!!

LOVE

cheryl

to mu and nic,
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU 2!!!! (: YOU GUYS WERE AWESOMMEEEE (yes esp with your weird noise making abilities haha!) it was a really great concert, hope you guys had lots of fun doing it

love, dee who once again revives the blog.
WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO!

2008-06-22T16:59:00.002+08:00

why is our blog terribly dead):

well okay this hols kinda sucked for me, esp when i practically met up with none of you, save for li mu and crys (but cause i see crys at cell).. anyway. are we going for love mg together? nu wanted to go right!(:

sigh i've got exams tmr, (Thanks to whoever wrote the last post) and yes, be shocked, but i have not been studying.. started on fri night at 1130 pm heh. i guess that's why i'm posting this. to just tell you guys to keep on going no matter how sucky school may seem, how busy you may get, how monotonous the student life may be.. we've got each other, but more importantly we've got God!

really, take it from me, my walk totally went down the past 6 months and i've been in a huge ditch or worse this bottomless pit the entire past 6 months. trying to get out to no avail so much so i gave up but im trying to get back out at least. so i hope since most of you are in ac and see eacho ther more often you'd be able to help each other along and encourage each other yeah(:

i really miss the days we had worship and prayer everyday together in sec 4. it feels reaalllyyy long ago doesnt it. remember last year we had a crapbag prayer/worship gathering? lets do that sometime again soon(:

till then, hope all of you will endure the gruelling 6 months ahead, with work and more work and more work and applications and CVs and all those kinda stuff.. dont forget to celebrate birthdays! almost half of us arent 18 yet hahaha.

oh oh guess what. i went to mambo that day hahahaha. we should all go clubbing one day (although its really not very fun) but we can do our stupid own cool crapbag thing and heck what the world thinks! btw i think out of all of you, i can imagine crys at mambo the most. doing her own dance moves going high on the dance floor even without a sip of alcohol. haha.

love you guys!
denise

life lessons

2008-05-15T21:16:00.003+08:00

hello all! my classmate forwarded an email to me and i seldom read such stuff but i just felt like checking it out and it's really funny so im putting it up for you all to have a look and destress! (:

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up hershower, when the doorbell rings.The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked infront of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?''It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift.She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.The priest nearly had an accident.After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide upher leg again.The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. Itsaid, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a greatopportunity.

Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunchwhen they find an antique oil lamp.They rub it and a Genie comes out.The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.''Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas ,driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'Puff! She's gone.'Me next! Me next!' says the sal es rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxingon the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladasand the love of my life.'Puff! He's gone.'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'Moral of the story:Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and donothing?'The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of asudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey,'but I haven't got the energy.''Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull.They're packed with nutrients.'T he turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enoughstrength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was pr oudly perched at the top ofthe tree.He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

Lesson 6A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird frozeand fell to the ground into a large field.While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realizehow warm he was.The dung was actually thawing him out!He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung,and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

cheryl is HAPPY(:

block tests are over and we've got a day off today cause our seniors did well for a's! and school's so slack this week cause friday's council elections so no lessons for the first 6 periods, which effectively leaves me with half an hour of econs lecture for the day. YAYY!

2008-02-26T02:38:00.002+08:00

hello everybody! in case you didnt get my mail, tessa deb and i have a concert coming up!
Wish upon a star
8th march Saturday
630 pm in acsi!
5 bucks only(: its a fundraising concert for a little girl named celine who is under the Make a wish singapore thinggum and she's terminally ill with some spine muscle disorder so do show your support and get a ticket now!

think kelly and char are getting from tessa or something, butbutbut you see, tessa has never ending supply of tickets cause shes in council! so you should get from me to help me clear): haha. but whatever it is, thats not the important part important thing is that you come and support us in this good cause!(:

please let me know soon okay??? thanks lovelies(:

and im posting this at 241 in the morning cause let me tell you a stupid story. i fell asleep at 915 and set my alarm at 1010. told my friend to make sure im awake at 1015. and i woke up at 12 to find that i had alot of missed calls:\ hahaha. and i just finished my tok essay (which is actually overdue its my first draft and the final draft was due yesterday ahahha)

OHOH GUESS WHAT PEOPLE. i joined squash! HAHA. dont laugh at me. my school doesnt expect to win (duh) but at least beat the other neighborhood jcs.. hahaha. arent you all so proud of me ahahaha. i just randomly went for trials last monday with minimal squash experience and managed to make it to top 5.. and NO THERE ARENT JUST FIVE PEOPLE. there are like. 10. but im fifth so oh well hahaha. WATCH OUT PEOPLE I NOW HAVE A NEW WEAPON! my squash racket!! but ah well busybusybusy! squash 3 times a week and theres touch and piano. but you know what? it drives me! haha. i think im nuts. without being busy i feel like im so unproductive and wasting my life away and i cant focus on ANYTHING. i think i need to learn to really just. relax... which may only be possible if theres absolutely no homework!

who wants to go queensway with me super soon? i need new black shoes for school, court shoes for squash, and running shoes. LET ME KNOW(:

darn, im so high now my powernap was too powerful. and there's no one to talk to at this hour.well duh. i seem to recall that human beings are seldom nocturnal. MAN I CANT WAIT TO LEARN TO DRIVE! gonna learn soon soon soon soon sooooooooon! mu and liza wanna sign up together? haha.

okay i'll shut up. ALL THE BEST FOR TERMS YOU ALL! be glad you have terms, ib doesnt but we have mid years after june hols then prelims at the end of term 3 so its chaotic.

that's when i love you,
dee

2008-02-17T21:34:00.000+08:00

hihi!
ooh its the start of a new week again. i cant help thinking how mundane school can get sometimes. but well. i rather be a student than a working adult anytime. so i should cherish school while i can! haha. i was talking to my dad today about jobs and i realised i dont have any inclination as to what i like and what i want to be. ahh. being a student rocks in a way. you dont have to worry about earning a living(:
anyway, i agree with what denise said in her previous post..friendships are one of the most important things in life and we should catch up more often(:
i feel a bit sad i'm drifting from some people already..cause friendships really mean a lot to me. and each friendship is unique, so each of you guys cant be replaced by anybody else.i guess i've made good friends in hc, but not close ones..partly cause most of them have their sec sch cliques in hc and partly cause i cant click with some (eg the ones who rant about jay chou and i dont understand a thing they talk about). although i do have considerate classmates who make the effort to sing chinese songs to me.
haha.oops i'm making hc sound so cheena. its actually not so bad! just that a lot like chinese pop and speak more chinese. but its not much of a culture shock, really.
alright i'm off to do econs now:/

LOVE
cheryl

2008-02-13T22:31:00.001+08:00

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE(:
XOXO with much love,dee

2008-02-09T23:23:00.000+08:00

hello everyone!

hows everyone been(: well anyway. just so you know if you are really slow and havent heard, i broke up with james..for slightly more than a month already..but im okay! im happier infact(: so yep.

anyway, we should meet up soon k. its kinda sad thinking bout how we all cant even have a free day to meet up.. we should just set one date like amonth in advance and EVERYONE has to turn up. no reasons like homework or tests and everything. i was just thinking bout it i mean, grades wont get us anywhere without friendship right. yes i can be deep. hahaha.

but really, i'm so glad i met up with mu li and sarah today. talking nonsense to serious stuff, all in all it felt good(: thanks guys. and here's the pics we took!

the rest turned out really blur so i didnt upload them.. catch up soon yeah. happy cny(:

God will bring us through.
love you always. (:

- char.

2008-01-27T00:16:00.000+08:00

hello all.
i know how you feel cheryl. im always so happy when the weekend arrives. :) you know i've been sick for the past three weeks? im only just starting to get better. i took a blood test on monday. it was painful :( but quite fun.
anyway, school has been really really tiring and stressing this year. alot alot ALOT of things are on my mind these days. but good news is, i've been sleeping quite well cos of all the pills and whatnots ive been taking. im also quite unfit now cos i havent had PE since like last YEAR. haha. and my class is having swim PE now. yucks.
anyway. alot of people seem really stressed now. which is worrying. i hope you guys are doing fine. dont like burn out or anything k? yes i should try telling myself that sometimes. HAHA. alright. im going to bed. goodnight!

PS. nureen, your kids may be cute.. but my KID. will be HOTT stuff. :)

Love, Sarah!

2008-01-20T21:12:00.000+08:00

hey((:
how's everyone been!
i hope school's not stressful yet..its only been a month since the year started! i cant wait for CNY. (: or rather any break from school. haha. i've been coming back at six-ish everyday except for thursday..i guess it makes me more appreciative when weekends come though.
i miss you guys:/ especially people like nureen and yvonne who didnt come for the last crapbag gathering and whom i havent seen for AGES. actually i havent seen all of you for ages. except for zhiwei(: sigh. i hope we all stay close for a longlong time. even when we enter uni, get married and have kids in the future, we must always meet up regularly! and our kids must meet each other! we can form a playgroup called crapbag juniors! hahaha.
the future's so uncertain that often old friends are the ones you turn to for support and a sense of comfort. i dunno how you all feel about the crapbaggang anymore but i still feel that you guys have been and will always be the group closest to my heart(:
i really hope to keep in touch with each of you guys individually even though we hardly see each other anymore..you all each mean something special to me and i thank God so much for every crapbag who's touched my life in a different way!
please know that whenever you guys need someone to talk to or vent your frustrations on or complain about life, i'll be here for you, and you'll never be a bother.
take care people:D

LOVE
cheryl

2008-01-17T22:53:00.001+08:00

WORSHIP UNDER THE STARS

after the frequent practices that lasted 4-5 hours each, i'm really quite excited for WUTS(:

COME ON DOWN GUYS!

2008-01-13T13:19:00.000+08:00

Why hello, everyone! :D
i love that photo char! its so classic. i still remember the day we took it. Haha, i think we had to to yell for zhiwei and everyone else to come. that must have been funny. Anyway, i still cant believe its been more than a year since we left MG. It still doesnt feel like it. I know we havent been meeting that much these days, but its really hard to right? i know it is for me. Not that council has taken over my life.. it hasnt.. (no matter how hard kelly and crystal SLAVE DRIVE ME).. i think its more of the homework and the stresses of JC life. Yes.
I've been sick for the past few weeks actually. Kinda like an on off thing. Oh speaking of.. i cant wait for MY BIRTHDAY. yes i know its in about five months. but STILL. countdowns have to start from somewhere. Plus this year is the leap year.. so one stinking more day to wait. gah.
i think my brithday should be a public holiday. HAHAH. you know i wish that for once, just ONCE. my birthday will fall on a school day. it sucks that its in June. NO ONE REMEMBERS. i think people who ahve their birthdays at the start of the year are such lucky pigs! yes, that's you eliza soh tian ern. Everyone gets super hardowrking at the start of the year, with new year resolutions and all.. they remember! to do something.
Oh well. actually i dont really like birthdays. but people insist on celebrating them. WHY.

-sarah

2008-01-12T23:52:00.000+08:00

yeah.

i guess what holds all these friendships together now must be because of individual effort.. we can't rely on the frequency of seeing each other anymore. and mg really was quite long ago. the past isn't for us to remain in, but for us to be encouraged and feel grateful in knowing that God really really provided. (: but of course, these friendships don't have to be part of the past. i know its hard to keep in touch, but nothing can be done without trying. i'll be right here for all of you. love ya'll so much. and i'll be praying. (:

i wish you sunrays and saturdays
perfect starry nights
sweet dreams and moonbeams
and a love that's warm and bright
i wish you sunrays and saturdays
friendships strong and true
oceans of blue and a room with a view
to live the life you choose.

- char.

2008-01-12T22:57:00.000+08:00

i miss you guys): everyone just seems so distant..the blog even kinda died..

-dee

and cheryl, thanks for dropping me msgs here and there, i rarely reply and sorry bout that, but your msgs are always encouraging and i appreciate them alot(: thanks dear!

2008-01-08T19:58:00.000+08:00

hey guys!

this is about the arabian nights tickets. i paid for some of you but i haven't gotten all the money back yet. they are 25 dollars each. if you know i paid first and you haven't paid for it yet, PLEASE pass the money to me as soon as possible okay? sorry to be so anal about this but its been 2 mths and i borrowed the money from my dad so the folks have been very naggy recently. about 5 people owe me money so if you know who you are, the next time you see me, PLEASE pay.
thanks.

love!
char.

2007-12-27T13:58:00.000+08:00

yayy nz rocked! (:
the lifestyle there's just so much more relaxing and slow-paced and stress-free I LOVE IT :D
the school there's pretty cool too. my friend enjoys going to school! haha but from what i heard it's not surprising that she does.
i ate lots of icecream in nz. almost everyday! i bet i've gained weight. while we were staying in auckland with my cousins a meal could comprise of beef, chicken, fish, pork and lamb. plus vegetables tofu rice soup and dessert. faints. i know i've gained weight. hahaha. the icecream there's really good though! ive got no regrets(: hehe
oh there was quite a big earthquake while we were at my friend's house in masterton! we felt the tremors but thankfully not the full effect of it. THANK GOD. cause we had toured the north island for 8 days before driving southward to masterton. and we reached masterton one day before the earthquake struck! 0.0 if we had arrived one day late (which we had planned to do so previously but changed our plans) we would have felt the major impacts of the earthquake!
that sounds awfully like something out of a movie but God's grace is for real(:
nz was awesome. it really opened my eyes to what david experienced when he wrote the psalms. we saw 2 lost sheep on the beach! yeah the beach. it was pretty amusing but i immediately thought of what Jesus said about Him wanting all His lost sheep found. the beach is beautiful, like this world is, but it's no place for sheep..just like how christians dont belong to this earth.
i've learnt quite a lot of other things in nz..the trip gave me a broader perspective on life and the bible. im grateful for that(:
my friend's mom invited me back to her house in nz next year after my a's. haha i want to go there to learn driving cause i wont be eligible for it in spore. they can drive there at 15 and a half! i was supposed to take lessons from my friend but due to time constraint i only got to drive the lawn mower. hahah there's lots more about nz but i shall stop my ranting here.
i hope you all had a very merry christmas! cant wait for cbg gathering on sunday!!!!

LOVE

deeeeeeeeee

2007-11-27T21:47:00.000+08:00

i had a wonderful birthday!! thanks a whole lot guys!
i'm touched.
(`:
i know over the past year there's a lot more stuff i could have done to be a better friend to you all..like being more in touch with your lives, and i'm sorry for the times i've let any of you down or discouraged any of you with my insensitive words or actions ):
but you guys have been the greatest friends on earth and i'm reaaaallly blessed to have you all in my life(:

anyway, my piano exam wasnt too good:/ i had so many regrets after coming out of the exam room! hahaha

regret #1: playing without the score- STUPID MISTAKE. you dont need to play without the score but my teacher wanted me to..but i could have just opened the book and put it in front of me!!! so each time i got distracted i forgot bits of the music and ended up either making up notes or playing just the right hand.
(note i said each time. it happened more than once)

regret #2: telling the examiner i was 17 instead of 16. it was only after i came out of the exam room when i remembered that the very reason i wanted to take my exam before my bday was precisely so that i could say that i was 16! apparently the younger you are, the more impressed the examiner will be, and possibly be more lenient? sighh. stupid me.

regret #3: stalling when the examiner asks what i want to do in the future. denise take note: the politically correct answer is i would love to do music! actually i think anybody in the right state of mind would give that answer. but i didn't! i just went 'uhhhhh....i'm not really sure yet.' examiner: 'so is music going to play a part in your future?' me: 'uhh. i haven't really decided.'
ohhhh didn't i wish to slap myself after that!

sigh. but i wasnt really thinking then. i guess after my playing i was just rather shaken about my mistakes. ohwell. but God was such a comfort after my exam. i was so scared i wouldn't pass (and still am) but He reminded me through Jeremiah 17:7 to put my confidence in Him and not my playing(:
i hope i'll never forget this exam experience though..how i've never depended on Him so much before, and how He just provided every single thing i needed!
relearning 3 pieces 3 days before my exam was no doubt traumatic, but thank God i managed to get it done! and my programme notes- i'm really thankful for such a supportive mom and a photoshop-savvy bro!
Jehovah Jireh, my Provider(:
oh the exam room was super cold. SUPER COLD. at least i went there for studio practise twice so i was prepared. i wore four layers of clothes! haha. and i brought a heat pack to keep my fingers warm. hehe.
but yay i'm just relieved my exam's over((:
all the best dee!! i wont be in spore to wish you on the day of your exam, but ive confidence that you'll do well! really.
alrightt i shall end my post here. happy holidays to you all-enjoy it we all deserve a break!! :D

LOVE LOTS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERYL!

we love you! :) :) :)

2007-11-19T17:48:00.000+08:00

i'm so dead for my piano exam ):
you see my bach piece wasnt in syllabus so i had to write to the exam board in london to get my programme approved..then after it was approved about 6 months back, i just discovered 3 weeks ago that my programme was overtime!
and you get penalised for overtime which is about (dunno how many marks) but it still can distinguish between a pass and a fail!
so anyway, i assumed since the five movements of bach i submitted was all approved, i could take out 3 mvts and just play the other 2.
and THEN
shock shock horror horror i just called the piano guy TODAY three days before my exam, and realised that i can't anyhow change my programme!
he said it's approved as a whole thing and you can't take out anything you like! so i'm left with no choice but to play everything and get penalised for overtime (not to mention bad playing)
i've been desperately practising my other 3 mvts today which i've abandoned rather long ago. sighhh. and i'm really unprepared for the rest of my pieces too..
please pray for my exam k i really dont wanna waste my parents' money ):):):
its this thurs 5.20pm.
VERY SORRY CHAR i cant make it for arabian nights ): but all the best and i'll be praying for you!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -Phil 4:13
please grant me the faith to believe!

missing you guys,

INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS IS WHAT I'VE GOT!

good news is i know whats wrong, and its not THAT severe
bad news is THERE IS NO CURE so pray my body can fight it off.
worse news is BLOOD TEST AGAIN ON MONDAY): if my liver screws up more than double then yes i cannot run from the hospital anymore cause the specialist IS at the hospital. poo.

but its quite funny you know what its called? KISSING DISEASE HAHAHA. cause its passed through saliva. so i do hope none of you took my food at crys's house. through sharing food and drinks and if i cough and sneeze and my 'mucus/saliva gets suspended in the air and you inhale my infected saliva/mucus' then may Lord have mercy on you and grant you a speedy recovery.

but im fine i think!(: (: (: i dont even look sick really. my classmate lucy came that day and said 'you dont look sick la'. so please visit me im homebound for another week or so. if youre healthy and well and unafraid of my virus. hahahaha.

thanks for the prayers(:

love you guys byeee

read more about it on http://www.medicinenet.com/infectious_mononucleosis/article.htm (:

2007-11-14T20:58:00.000+08:00

hello everyone!

I'M PROBABLY GOING INTO THE HOSPITAL TMR OR FRIDAY SO PLEASE VISIT ME!
its not confirmed yet just pray really hard that my bloodtests (again) have better results..

i've had high fever that comes on and off every few hours for 7 whole days already!!! hits like 38 plus and sometimes goes beyond 39..

anyway did you know that doctors always lie? when they did the finger blood tests they said it wasnt gonna be painful and so i didnt expect it to be painful then suddenly the mechanism makes a sound and then it stings badly and then ahhhh finger blood ah thats my finger!

then the arm one is super scary but thankfully i have a doctor whos super good and experienced so he made it super not painful for me but it was so scary seeing so much blood and a needle up my arm my dad had to stand next to me and hold my hand sigh needle/blood phobia.

i dont have dengue at least. the blood test for dengue was negative but its not always 100% accurate of course. then my platelet count is 97 and the desired range is above 140! by right i should have been hospitalised on mon when they found out my platelet count was so low. but my doc's so nice he let me stay home since if i go hospital they cant do anything besides take my temp to monitor my fever and take blood tests which my doc can do.

if i go into hospital they'll take blood from me everyday=( (on the bright side i'll lose weight hahahah okay kidding). but my blood tests show my liver's a bit wonky like some SGPT reading was 77 and the desired range is 8-54 and the SGOT reading was so bad mine was 82 and desired is 16-40 (the 54 and 40 are for like those SUPER HUGE GIMONGOUS people!!)

so yes friends from the looks of it i have to go in! i would like nice food too(: i have no diet restrictions dont worry! haha.

just pray that i'll be okay yeah. and thanks for those who msg to check up on me sorry if i dont reply cause half the time im sleeping.. or too tired to reply and then it slips my mind. its my 6th hour awake right now today, imagine that.haha.

so yes, see you when i see you! sorry for a super long posts bout sickly dee.

HOCK SENG!

my piano exam is in less than a month
I AM SOOOOOOOO DEAD
seriously. i've never felt such a sense of urgency/desperation before than when i received my exam date in the mail just now.
i'm so unprepared!! programme notes undone, pieces not memorised, and what more my teacher seems so inconsistent in her teaching- one week she tells me one thing, the next week she tells me another, depending on her mood.
ARGH
and then there's other stuff to settle too..like PW and my class shirt which i'm still trying to do on photoshop. ive gotta get it done by next week before school closes.
sigh
i hate piano exams. or any performance exams. no matter how much you prepare, it all bogs down to THAT day, whether you do well or screw up.
i guess that's where trust comes in...........but i still hate piano exams:/

Lord, in Your grace, i trust that You'll cause all things to work out for my good..even though i haven't been the best daughter around lately.

i am so sleeepy im going to bed soon. it's 10.30 and yeah its early for most of you but not for me! my brain shuts off at around 10 so doing anything after that are usually brainless activities.
NOT that blogging is brainless but it requires less brain cells compared to doing my I&R.
we have spring cleaning tmr! sighh dont feel like going but i've not much of a choice- my ct is rather strict about attendance. ahh see the halo on cheryl's head and the guilt-stricken faces of some reading this blog.
hahaha
comments about my promos? OH WELL.

okay its 10.40 now. did i just spend 10 mins typing this short entry? wow i think i'm more tired than i thought.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!!!!

hows exams for everyone? im not done but did i tell you about my retarded time table? in ib right everyone has 3HLs which are really alot to study and then 3 SLs. then most people's HLs are rather spaced out AND MIND WAS CRAMMED INTO 2 DAYS! i died! i couldnt do any of them properly. and im gonna fail english how sad is that okay not english but lit cause i wrote soooo super out of point. oh well.

its good i guess everyone's still mugging but im done and free and im going out later! think im watching balls of fury and shopping with my classmates.

and remember how i used to moan and groan bout being a loner in school. okay not really but being like the only girl and all. got used to it and actually am very thankful cause i hang out with like the same few guys and theyre all really nice people!

one's liza's church friend lucy who is really funny. one's nana's dance friend's boyfriend tee and he's really funny too. and one's char/kelly/grace/von's church friend ian and he's really funny too too. hahahaha. and he comes to this blog so HELLO IAN!

what a small world! its a small world after all lalalallaa. but. somehow i havent seen any of you in so long so its not so small a world anymore:(

OHOH! im planning a concert as part of a contra arrangement with singapore art museum, its a small concert on 17th dec at the SAM audi itself so if you guys are around please support! debbie's performing and michelle yeo too and im not sure if i am. but its half christmas half classical ---> christmas classics!

God bless everyone with their results and let's meet up soon! i didnt even see zai. ZAI I WANNA MEET UP WITH YOU WHY ARE YOU AND KELLY ON A PRIVATE DATE TODAY WITHOUT EVERYONE ELSE):

BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEe.

much love, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA

2007-09-28T22:02:00.000+08:00

Guess who?? I'm back. And with yet another anecdote of yet another injury i have sustained to amuse you all in this time of stress! So go ahead, take pleasure in my pain. You officially have my permission to do so.

So tonight, after dinner, i was being nice and decided to bring my plate to the kitchen. However, the dear chair decided it hadn't caused me pain for a rather long time, (It usually does this every other day at least, so having refrained from doing so for about an entire half-week, is considered a quite an achievement) and felt it time to revert to its routine. I guess again, that you can guess what happened! But with encouragement from mu, i have decided to share my tragic experience with you. So, very predictably, i walked into the chair. Interestingly, i did not get any cut or bruise from this. But this, in turn, (i conclude) upset the chair, and so it became determined to cause me some misery. It toppled onto my poor toe! At first, it was kind of numb but after a while, the pain started to come and i started screaming and screaming! It was SOOO painful, i tell you. And this was the sharp edge of the chair, mind you. So much for being responsible and bringing my plate to the kitchen! Subsequent to my screaming, of course, as usual, nobody came to my rescue as they all think i'm crying wolf again! Huh! But they started to believe me when a pool of blood accumulated on my toe. I repeat, a POOL!! It was gigantic, almost the size of a five-cent coin! Yuck. And because so much blood was oozing out, it turned from light pink to light red to dark red to darker red, and eventually to an almost black! This was seriously gross. I would have fainted if i wasn't so experienced and used to the sight of my poor self bleeding (thanks to countless wounds, cuts, gashes, lacerations i have chalked up over the years).

After this, my mother, with good intentions of course, came and started dabbing it with a tissue. This sent me into immense agony. I shall kindly spare you the gory details. Next, i waited quite a long time and endured much pain, so that a clot would form or something, and after a while, i examined it, and deemed it time for me to start moving around again. BUT, as i started climbing the stairs, i hit the injured part of my toe on the edge of the stairs!! (The stairs again! Refer to previous traumatic post, regarding the ankle) What luck, you say! Yes i agree completely! Needless to say, the rather fragile clot, or whatever it's called, over the cut was broken and there was blood all over the stairs. Double gross. Okay, you get the picture. I shan't paint it all explicitly for you, or you'll all probably faint! (You're not as experienced as me, you see) And so i have obviously pulled through my hour of trauma with resilience and survived to finally hobble here to tell this little tale of my great misfortune tonight. See, i just provided you all with many reasons to be happy! 1) I'm not nicole. 2) I don't get injured like nicole. 3) Pieces of furniture and stairs don't hate me like they hate nicole. Oh, these are but three! Well, i guess you're all in luck, because i've got to go figure out a way to shower now, in order to suffer the least possible pain, and can't rant on and on and on and on and on...

Till next (traumatic) time,
Cheerio!
nic

PS. DID I SAY IT WAS THE SAME SIDE OF ME AS MY ANKLE?!!

TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA

2007-09-19T10:59:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!

Hasn't it just been eons since i last wrote something here! Anyway, the reason I'm doing this now at this weird hour is because i'm at home! No, crystal, i'm not skipping Chinese again. I have turned over a new leaf! Actually, I'm at home because yesterday i sprained my ankle in school!! Oh the trauma! Let me amuse you (and maybe evoke a little sympathy) by recounting my terrible experience. It was this stupid lit classmate's fault, who i will kindly decline to name, because he was saying something at the top of the steps at the North Lodge and i was looking at him, instead of where i was going! I concede that perhaps i am a tad uncoordinated, but still! He should know better than to talk to somebody when they're going down a rather steep filght of steps, no?! So i guess you can guess what happened? I missed a step and, quite unglamourously, might i add, twisted my ankle! We're talking seriously twisted here. As in, I had the absolute horror of hearing my ankle bone crack! Please bear in mind, I am not exaggerating, although some of you are probably quite skeptical at this point. I promise you, it went C-R-A-C-K! I can't tell you how freaked out i was! Can you imagine, considering how my poor ankles are all the way down there and my poor ears are all the way up here, how terribly distraught i must have been to hear such a loud crack?? It was louder than any other bone crack i have heard throughout my 17 years of existence. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

However, very unfortunately, nicole's misery did not end there! Oh no, it was not to be! Even after twisting my ankle, and hobbling very awkwardly for quite a distance, my dear good classmates still believed that i had sustained no injury whatsoever! Preposterous i say!! They called me the girl who cries wolf!! It was only after lit, and i said it really really hurt, that they started to have the slightest, remotest idea that maybe i AM injured! So one of my classmates, being ever so helpful, thought he was some exotic bone healer or whatever, and took it upon himself to fix my ankle. He took my foot and began pressing it at all places! This had, to his surprise (for he genuinely thought he was a professional), and my extreme unsurprise, aggravated it. So poor me was left to limp around school in agony for the rest of the day until my mum came to pick me up. Even then, i was not to be left alone to wallow in self-pity! My mother brushed it off like it was nothing at all and said it was a 'simple sprain'. Well, i don't know what's so simple about nicole (her only daughter, mind you) in pain! And the icing on my cake? My dad was laughing at my new way of walking and hopping around. Oh wait, there's a cherry on top! I was in the doctor's office for TWO short minutes, after which he concluded that it was nothing serious. I'll tell you about serious. Being stuck awake the whole night in bed, because you can't find a suitably comfortable position to fall asleep in! That's serious. Did i mention that i can't even move it now?

Okay i shall stop boring you with graphic details of my anguish. Moral of the story: nicole in the North Lodge is like a bull in a china shop. I just realised i wrote two huge chunks. It's like an essay. I bet i now hold the record for longest post! At least something good came out of it! Well, what do you expect me to do having noone to talk to all day except the maid, when i'm stuck at home? Actually, to be precise, i'm stuck in my chair since i can hardly go anywhere, thanks to my distressed ankle. If you've made it this far, you're either really concerned about me, or you take pleasure in my pain. Let's hope, for my sake and yours, it's the former. And if it is, heaven forbid, the latter, at least i've cheered you up! But then again, you all probably didn't make it till here. Anyway, i've got to go read Great Expectations now. See you guys!

Lots of love,
nic

i have smart friends!

2007-09-14T00:15:00.000+08:00

eh sarah! howd you know, that i won't be the famous one when you grow up! there's time yet! hahahaha!
okay right, its more likely that i'll be famous for toppling over the campbells mushroom soup pyramid in cold storage than for anything credible like acting. however, i know MING MIGHT BE FAMOUS TOO! today she had her piano exam, oh, what a prodigy! haha. i don't know why though, but her examiners were trying to gouge each others eyes out with a blanko halfway through her piece hahaahha. okay anyway my point is, CONGRATS CHARRRRRRRRR! i'm so proud of you! which is more than i can say for myself, seeing that i topped math for the level, FROM THE BOTTOM! (probably)
moving on, LETS STUDY TOGETHERRRRRRRRR!:D:D:D somebody organize pls. and pick a day when nicole's not free, if not, nobody will get any studying done. hahaha, just kidding nic. you know we love you.
ITS ALWAYS BETTER WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER((O:
much love, mu
ps: YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT MING'S NEPHEW ONE DAY!! SOOOOOOO CUTE! be warned though. he tends to puke, when you least expect it.

2007-09-12T21:05:00.000+08:00

WOW an A! CHARR!!! youre too prola
i always knew i'd grow old to know someone famous.. that would be YOU char! inventio was great by the way even though i was really sleepy and tired. good value for money. ten dollars to watch a STARRR perform!

hey guys. wow no one has posted for so long.

anyway, i miss you guys. so much, you know. ): i just studied with debbie and jessie yesterday, and the fact that i was just hanging out with them made me so happy. when debbie was in the void deck and jessie eliza rachel wang ethel were all together for a while and i suddenly felt this surge of joy. cos.. its so rare for all of us, or even some of us, to be together. that makes me sad. thanks for coming for Inventio.. i hope you guys had a good time together. you guys must treasure these times okay.. exams are coming, and well i hope that we can use this to spend time together again. even if its just studying. i loved studying with ya'll last year. (: i remember how we'd stay in the canteen till late, or study in random places like Venezia or people's houses or something. and it was fun.. well i don't know about you, but whenever i think about the prelim/o level studying period, i remember it being fun. its like when i'm with you guys, i don't have to try, you know? i can be the most boring person in the world, i don't have to try and be interesting. and i can be quite boring hahaha ok but that's not the point. you know what. i think my favourite textbook from last year would be my bio book. haha. i spent so long on that book, trying to remember everything. wahlao. but anyway, its not cos i love bio, but cos in it there are so many scribbles from you guys. haha. they're all retarded. but i love them. (:

i know we all have new friends and stuff.. but we shouldn't forget each other and we should try. to me you guys still feel like home. i don't know if you guys want to try.. but i want to try. i hope some of you even come here, and read this.. and do something about it. but oh well. i give up our friendship to God. God does work. like for Inventio and my IS. (Individual Skill for DEP, we all need to have one for A levels.) my teacher, Mrs Creffield, told me i would do very well if i did straight (pure) acting. yup so i didn't have to be worried over whether i was good enough, or well i just didn't have to worry much about it, cos God gave me an answer before i needed to panic. and Inventio went well, i got an A! so that's almost like a guaranteed A for promos. so God will do His stuff.. and God will do something for us. like i said, i really miss you guys. i love you.

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving

Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here?
And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing
It's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at them stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression i was somewhere in between
With only two, Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now

Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
There is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together

IT'S AUGUST ALREADY.
sighh time flies.
makes you think whether how you're living is really worthwhile sometimes.
many times i just dont feel that i'm living purposefully-im just living day by day with temporal goals in mind, hardly seeing the eternal.
i am a flower quickly fading
here today and gone tomorrow.
if i were to die tomorrow i dont think i'll have much treasure stored up in heaven:/ yet it seems so logical to focus on temporal stuff since like WR and EOM and econs test and promos..and you're not even sure if you're gonna die tomorrow, so why focus on eternity? (if you dont hand up EOM, you also die. but its another type of death so its not counted)
we're like half living in this temporal world and half in eternity..but God says we're supposed to live for eternity right.
"Set your hearts on things above, not on earthly things." -Col 3:2
i guess that's where faith comes in to believe that if you 'seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well'. BUT its really not easy. especially in the competitive world we live in today. boohoo.
all these things:
1) God-given wisdom you need to study to do well
2) ability to get into a good university
3) ability to find a secure job
4) a stable income
5)
6)
i'm sure there's lots more but i cant think of anymore now..
anyway hope to see you all soon!!!
teachers day YAY(:
but hc's celebrations are on friday and thursday's a normal school day for us):
booo.

have a nice day everybody.

GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TODAY <3

your guardian angel was stuck in my head too! my favourite line is "i'll be there for you through it all", not the others, cos when i thought about the lyrics "i will never let you fall, i'll stand up with you forever" i realised that well sometimes we have to fall. we gotta fall so that we can learn to stand up again. and we will inevitably fall time and time again, because life is never always peachy.

God never promised that He will never let us fall, cos He does. He lets us fall for a variety of reasons, which all aim to draw us closer to Him. He did promise, however, to never leave us nor forsake us, and that He will be our comfort, our strength, and our solid rock. He never promised we wouldn't fall, but He promised He'd pick us up! in our weakness, He is strong. it is at our most vulnerable moments that we can look up and marvel at how awesomely powerful our God is in comparision. we become strong by leaning on Him, not by standing up on our own.

ironic, isn't it. (:

i've fallen many times, especially this year. but i've learnt from each scrape or bruise, and i can say that i've become stronger. so although those times weren't the best, i'm not looking back with bitterness, but with the knowledge that He carried me through, and that all He did was for a purpose, which is slowly unravelling itself. its quite cool when you abide in Him and see His plan for you unfold before your eyes, and amazing to see His hand guide you in your every step. God will never give us more than we can bear. He is forever faithful. so take heart, all you guys who don't seem to see any light at the end of this dark long gloomy tunnel that you see yourself in. you Will be fine. God says so. (:

i'm so thankful for you guys. i thank God that us being friends was in His plan for my life. you guys are so special, i'm so proud of you, in your own special way. see you soon!

like a new born baby, don't be afraid to crawl. and remember when you walk, sometimes we fall. so fall on Jesus, and live.

even if saving you sends me to heaven

2007-08-04T08:16:00.000+08:00

When I see your smile tears run down my face I can't replace and now that I'm stronger I've figured out how this world turns cold and breaks through my soul and I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven it's ok. It's ok. It's ok. Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and stars are falling all for us days grow longer and nights grow shorter I can show you I'll be the one I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you sends me to heaven cause you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart Please don't throw that away cause I'm here for you please don't walk away, please tell me you'll stay, stay..use me as you will pull my strings just for a thrill and I know I'll be ok though my skies are turning gray I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven..

i love this song..

please kindly pray for 1. me to let God be present in my life again 2. strenght to get by everyday 3.for strength to take in all the hurt and still be happy

guess none of you really know what it's like being in a relationship (unless you evil meevils never told the crapbags bout your boyfriend). but here's dee with some advice! hoorah.

love isn't always a pleasant thing, you get up you get down you get hurt beyond hurt you get crushed you get so frustrated and you even feel like you should just quit on life.. but deep inside you know it's worth it all.. when you're happy it's probably one of the happiest times in your life so that keeps you going. just make sure you pick someone who wont give up on you no matter how much shit happens.

it's like God's love. he probably gets hurt when things with him suck. and really glad when our faith is strong and burning. yet he'll never leave us no matter how far we stray away or how much hurt we might cause him as his child.

so pray you can learn to love like God does. not just with some guy you're with but with each other. then maybe the crapbaggang can be a happy crapbaggang again.

you- be strong. it'll be okay. love you(:

the other you- change back to your old self please. dont let jc life ruin who you were. love you too.

2007-07-30T22:31:00.000+08:00

CAN JAMES BE A CRAPBAG??????

just kidding. just realised he knows most of you. haha. and talks to you all more than i do): he can be my substitute. wow. haha. love you guys.

-i will never let you fall
i'll stand up with you forever
i'll be there for you through it all
even if saving you sends me to heaven

happy seventeeth birthday kelly cowy kwan!

top one reason (i don't need more than one to justify my cause) why muriel is mean to james:

it was in self defence.

much love, mu

10 reasons muriel is mean to james

2007-07-21T23:17:00.000+08:00

1. she splattered black sauce on him and told him he needs white sauce to get whiter.
2. she calls him a cockroach
3. she draws on him
4. she says james is obligated as the best friend's boyfriend to buy rabbit sweet for her
5. she calls me knowing i'm on the phone with james when she sees him in school to interrupt our call.
6. she makes james help her in gp after jacking him so much
7. she pokes james with her whole bunch of zig markers which hurt him=(
8. she laughs at james after he gets barbered and is very sad.
9. she accuses james of breaking her little green thinggy when the beads were already falling out and he was trying to help her fix it back. ingrate.
10. she not only is mean to james alone, but has reinforcements. e.g. getting liza to help draw on him

sigh.i guess she just is that way.
muriel ruth manning you better be nicer to him from now on.
but its okay i still love you(:

haha this is rather funny(: not that i'm implying anything bad but yeah. erm. it's funny!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRISON AND WORK:

IN PRISON...you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.
AT WORK... you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.

IN PRISON...you get three meals a day.
AT WORK...you only get a break for one meal and you pay for it.

IN PRISON...you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK...you get more work for good behavior.

IN PRISON...the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK...you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself.

IN PRISON...you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK...you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK...you can't even speak to your family.

IN PRISON...all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required.
AT WORK...you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON...you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK...you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

IN PRISON...you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK...they are called managers.

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!!!

HELLO

2007-07-01T23:59:00.001+08:00

hey guys!
guess what?
i bumped into nic at vivo today! haha how cool right. and i met liselle also , if you remember her

anyway, i feel so distant from you guys of late. i'm slow, i know, because i'm never around i should have realized this eons ago, but i guess it sunk in properly only recently.

thanks for all the kind emails and words of concern you guys left at my journal, i really genuinely appreciate them ; they surprisingly made me feel stronger and simply put, better, i guess.

i know i hardly put in conspicuous effort to keep in touch and do all that shimmy buddy stuff and sometimes when people take a stab at catching up i sound like a bucket of insoucience; stoic, spasmodic and detached. admittedly i sometimes am passive (sorry), but it is not because i disregard your efforts or our friendship or am pmsing because i am bleeding from my gina but merely because i more often than not am consumed with weariness and would prefer to mope around in my own world of doldrums and listless ennui.

either way, i will try my best to find a balance with everything, and cope with all the muddling issues of life from studies to love to rowing in a boat and be around, if you want me to be, and not be so detached from my friends.

in other news, nationals are coming up in a week so maybe this will take effect from after the 13th of july

sorry i am a sucky friend

much love friends

ps: WELCOME BACK ZAI!

I NEED HELP!!!

I have just eaten a silica gel ball thing by accident! You know those things that keep the food dry? I really hope i don't die! It was in my broccoli and i suddenly bit into something crispy! I know it's that because they were two other of the round things in my dish! HOW! I thought it was salt because my parents use the seawater salt so it kind of is crispy too! Oh My Gosh! Help me! I don't know how many i ate! Just know i love you all very much should something untoward happen to me. I am serious. Really, i'm not joking.

2007-06-06T22:03:00.001+08:00

oh heaven help me!

i've caught the shopping bug!!

yesterday alone i bought 3 tops and a pair of pants! coz they were on sale. so it was a waste to not get them you know?

and then today! IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR I TELL YOU! i found my wonderful accessorize bag had dropped from 83 to 58 BUCKS! HOW GOOD A DEAL IS THAT?! so i bought it! haahha. then i had to shove it into my bag (which, incidentally, is zai's crumpler) so that my mom wouldnt find out i just bought yet another bag. hahaha.

I NEED TO SAVE MONEY NOW. i only have 8 bucks to call my own.

i think nana is like a sponge. she only comes here to READ and drop RANDOM TAGS and then she disappears again. no update one! i am sad. NANA YOU SUCKSSSSS.

omg i must tell you how the stupid john little's cheated me!
ok i went there to stock up on nice underwear right.
and i found this WONDERFUL DEAL, in which you can buy 3 UNDERWEARS FOR 6 BUCKS!!! how cheap is that?! it's cheaper than the la mien i ate today lor.
anyway.
THEN THE STUPID CASHIER WENT TO ENTER IN 8 BUCKS OK! then i was like EHHH.
so i had to walk ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE UNDERWEAR SECTION, AND CHECK THAT REALLY IT WAS 6 BUCKS AND MY EYES WERENT DECEIVING ME, THEN I WENT BACK TO THE COUNTER TO ANNOUNCE THE TRUE BLUE PRICE.
ugh.
and then! another one was, they had this misleading tag on the underwear which said 9 dollars, and another sign above the shelf saying buy 2 get 1 free, then my sis was like WAH 9 DOLLARS FOR 3! then without thinking i also say WAH, BUY LAH! but in the end it was 9 DOLLARS EACH! ahahahhaha. but i don't regret buying them coz they're really very nice. hahaha.

ok i'm going to eat purple jelly now. later!

much love, mu!
