the weather in school these days has been, well, refreshing.

i do remember cold mornings last year, but not cold, windy mornings like this past week. or gale-y lunch breaks and afternoons. even at 3pm it feels cooling (unless you're sweating in the sun. duh)

kinda reminds me of taiwan. of how my school, on top of a hill, always had those mountain breezes the whole day everyday, and it'd be chilly from dawn to dusk. and how, on one particular day, the poor girls in our group who had to wear their own school uniform (for that day) were all trying to huddle together to keep warm because they were wearing their own school skirts. and every time the wind blew they'd all say in their shrilly voices, "so cccoooollllddd!" ha. wear skirt wear so short lah. lucky we boys had pants. =P

and no, i'm not getting emo about taiwan again. i'm just making an observation.

i went to order fried dumpling noodles from the noodle stall at the food court.

i could've sworn, out of the 4 people who ordered bak chor mee before me, at least 2 of them said they didn't want pig liver.

mb, i think you influence singapore more than you know.

...so singapore beat malaysia in the cup (albeit on penalties). hooray!

still, england could take a tip or two from our strikers. at least we don't aim for aeroplanes.

anyway, i wonder if there's going to be any celebration/holiday if we win the cup?

probably not, unless it was the world cup.

LOL.

blogthings!

disclaimer: i do not believe in such things, but i'm just putting them up for fun.

out of immense boredom.

Your Birthdate: January 2

You may watch someone from afar before you finally decide to make your move. It takes a long time for you to develop an attraction to someone. Generally, you prefer to pick who you love. Anyone who tries to rush you is in for some heartache. Number of True Loves You'll Have: 3 Number of Times You'll Have Your Heart Broken: 4 You are most compatible with people born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, and 29th of the month.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean For Your Love Life?

rriigghhtt... but maybe the part about people trying to rush me is probably true.

You Are Iceman

You tried to live a normal life, but it just wasn't possible A bit of a slacker, you rather tell jokes than cultivate your powers Powers: turning self and others into ice, making ice weapons, becoming nearly invisible

Which of the X-Men Are You?

it's true! except that my weapons are cold jokes instead. the invisible part.... if i shut up the whole day in school, then maybe.

You Are 14 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

funny. i was almost sure my "age" would be less than 10. oh well, guess i'm growing up.

Jesus My Lord My Life

You take my hand
Lead me to Your side
Your warm embrace
Sets my heart on fire

You are my shelter
God of all wonders
You are the hero of my life

I live for You
Saviour of my life
Your love for me
Is wider than the skies

You are my shelter
God of all wonders
You are the hero of my life

You came for me
Your life for mine
When I couldn’t save myself

You bore my pain
My sins, my shame
Jesus my Lord my life





(i dunno much abt the vid, but this is the only place i could find the song online)

a conversation with a friend today sparked off memories about taiwan. again.

away from the hustle and bustle of school life, where lessons are already in full swing, in no small part due to me taking my a levels this year, taiwan seems like a really good place to escape to, if only mentally.

i think you must realise by now, if you haven't, that taiwan was indeed full of fond memories. maybe my first posts after i came back were a bit emo and all, but to say that it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience wouldn't be too far from the truth.

occasionally, seeing yongchun again, seeing the bus the 20 hcians were on again, seeing the places we went to again, seeing the places those of us in the yongchun group went, if all only in my mind, is enough to bring back the sweetness of the trip.

i suppose no amount of description could truly do the experience justice. like i said before, sometimes it's just better to relive them myself, even if it's to give myself temporary solace and escape from school life and homework.



but, having said that, there are new people to meet this year, new friendships to build on, new angel and mortal to write to, new topics to study for each subject, and above all, a whole new year of wonderful experiences to go through. i believe (not cynically, but sincerely) that a levels will be one of the more memorable occasions this year. or, at least, the end of it would be memorable.

in the meantime, let's just enjoy each day this year brings.

The Sweetest Name Of All

Jesus, You're the sweetest name of all
Jesus, You always hear me when I call
Oh Jesus, You pick me up each time I fall
You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all

Jesus, how I love to praise Your name
Jesus, You're the first, the last, the same
Oh Jesus, You died and took away my shame
You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all

Jesus, You're the soon and coming King
Jesus, we need the love that You can bring
Oh Jesus, we lift our voices up and sing
You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all

alright. first blog entry in 2007!

must say i was rather surprised that so many people knew when my birthday was this year. here are the people i have to thank for making it such a wonderful 18th birthday, even though there was no actual partying and the like.

mum & dad - for the special lunch we had in that really cool restaurant, and bringing me out for a break from doing gp.

liang wei, edmund, kai keat - for trying to come and celebrate with me on the actual day, even though we ended up cancelling the whole thing. thanks anyway, my brudders. :) oh and thank you for the... "card" too!

claire, li ru, ai zhen - for the josh groban cd! omg i was quite shocked that you guys'd bother to actually buy something for me on my birthday. a simple "happy belated birthday" would have been great, but you guys went the extra mile. thank you so much.

TIPpers - for the wonderful day we had on new year's eve! (actually this doesn't really fall under birthday thanks, but since it's only a day apart) you guys even knew it was my birthday! i don't know why, but you guys are one of the very few groups of people i really feel at ease with.

everyone else, who wished me happy birthday, belated or not, via sms or msn, or just a simple "happy birthday", whether from qbc, 06s7b, TIP, or even ex-classmates: Thank you all! your well-wishes made it a really enjoyable birthday. it even made me feel like it was my birthday for 2 straight days! :D






and thank You Jesus, for blessing me with wonderful friends, and for the wonderful year of Your blessings, favour and love ahead.
