Faith has a passive element: 'Let go and let God.'

This is caught in a famour prayer Reinhold Niebuhr:

'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things that I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.'

in school from 12 thru 330 for fom, ggt and pacc. bought bubble tea (as requested by my lil girl) & went tuition. i dont know why, maybe because it's children's day, i was feeling cheeky & cooped up alot of nonsense that sent us laughing off our lesson! ha, so yeah.. we had quite some fun.

although i left at around 635, i only managed to reach home aft 8! ahhh, the peak hour jam at clementi is really such a dread! well well. thankfully, i had seats on board both buses :)

okay okay, it's children's day! and it's stella's cheeky day! so, i spent 2 hours in front of the TV with my sisters & woah, we had alot alot alot of fights! ha, fights. :)

just now, i opened up a link in my emails & was asked to design a pig. so, i designed a pig:


Adora! by Stella

unknowingly, i was actually taking some personality/character test. amazingly, i identify with most of the statements except the obvious, of course! ha, for fun:

Your choice of background shows that you are loyal, responsible and trustworthy but sometimes doubt yourself and feel the need to question everything.

The direction your pig is facing indicates you being traditional and friendly, you have a great memory for birthdays and important dates. (this is especially true..)

The amount of detail in your pig means you are analytical, cautious and sometimes suspicious.

Because your pig has four legs, some may say you are stuck in your ways but actually this reflects your strong beliefs and your stubbornness in defending them. :D

The larger the pig's ears, the better listener you are.

The longer your pig's tail, the better your sex life – need we say more! errr..

one week of school (1st wk of sch reopen) just passed me by  & my weekend is passing by even faster!

going back to school means being busy & tired! but nonethess, life is still filled with excitement! heh everything is just so so fun & interesting.. but! the moment anything gets boring / when im alone (say, travelling), off i go into the zZ mode. haha. ah, im taking 8 modules this semester:

principles of accounting (2nd sem)
statistics (likewise)
critical reasoning skills (outgoing tutor we've got!)
IDEAs - Innovation, Design and Enterprise in Action (oh, i just rmb im supposed to email our tutor! =x)
geography of global tourism (hot fav! we've got two rly humourous lecturer & tutor!)
fundamental of marketing (okay.. this makes me go into zZ mode..)
organizational management (same motherly woman for lecturer & tutor who speeds like the bullet train)
and of course, my GEM, real estate marketing (i like it! pretty interesting. best of all? open-book test! :))

cca wise, im currently a full-fledged member in SMART and SP Red Cross (going for first aid course rly soon! :)), and i just joined SP Navigators on wed. it's a really interesting club! ha, it's a Christian club and they organize activities ilke sports & dinner, and outings etc etc.. just having fun, fun, & more fun! they welcome non-members & non-Christians to join the activities too! cool, right? ;)

Especially for XIA NING & 4/1..

our beloved classmate & really sweet friend, xianing, left for CANADA to further her studies on FRIDAY, AUG 24. we gathered at THE MIND CAFE a day before her departure to bid her a fond farewell. RASHMINDER, WEIQIAN and MYSELF are the 3 steady ones who spent a memorable afternoon with her :)

xianing was caught up with some unsettled stuff at the bank, and weiqian was LATE (as usual).. so rashminder and i proceeded to TMC first, ordered 2 beef lasagne and settled down with an intellectual game called Balloon Cup.. and here is the loser... =P



just as the game ended, xianing arrived! and we played with this deck of really pretty cards called the Sleeping Queens. following on is going to be dozens of photographs.. but badly taken since im not too much of a photographer..

The Sleeping Queens who were supposed to be woken up by the Kings:



The beginning..



Xia Ning's Creamy Chicken Pasta:



The Bubble Gum King and the Pancake Queen:



The winner who captured 4 Queens first:



The Queens..



The Starfish Queen & the Turtle King:



The Cookie King & the Pancake Queen:



The Kings and the Queens..



XN's favourite.. The Turtle King!



Rashminder's favourite, the Pancake Queen! (Also my fav at 1st..)



A close-up of the Turtle King..



..and ta-dah! My favourite! Somehow she enticed me..



okay, it must have been dizzy looking through the photos, yet not knowing how to play right? honestly, we only played once and it was pretty lame.. oh btw, i gave xianing the title of the ultimate loser =P okay, at the start of the game, everyone is supposed to draw 5 cards which are either power cards or magic cards. power cards are just numbered cards you use to draw more cards, one for one, or a pair for two, or an equation (i.e. 1+8=9) for three. if you draw a King, you can use it to wake a Queen up & it's yours. however, there are Knights! who can steal your Queens. One Knight for one Queen, of course. Then, you  have the Dragons! who can frighten off the Knights and thus, you can keep your Queens. THEN, you have the Magic Wand which can zap the Dragon! and of course, the dragon faints from being electrocuted and you get to keep the Queen. Ah-ha! That isn't all! THEN, you have the MAGIC POTION which can put the any Queen back to sleep. Every magic card can only be utilized once against another magic card. Oh, and there is a Clown card which allows you draw a card from the deck; if you get a magic card, you keep it. Otherwise, count the number that is on the power card & the player gets to pick a Queen. The objective of the game is to be the first to capture 4 Queens and win.

After more than 1.5 hours, WQ finally arrived.. and boy, he really trained our abs!

The first game, The Monkey Game.. notice the monkeys clustered at the upper layer?..



End of 1st round.. I emerged winner! =P



XN's attempt to drown monkeys in Ice Peach Tea..



WQ the VERY late-comer!



Okay, XN, we know you got the rules wrong & vyed for the Best Hunter Award instead. Congrats! You got it!



Next, we played this really fun game called Express it! Guess it! You pick of one those dozens of cards bearing a certain emotion which you've gotta express either through charading, drawing, or reading a text, depending on the face(s) of the dice. You bet we'd a great deal of laughter playing it!

3 of us together, leaving WQ behind =P..



A previous Art student's illustration of an Annoyed look..


..he is none other than WQ!

End of 1st round..



Needless to say, we girls emerged winners! =P



The Loser! hahha..



We played another round, giving WQ the privilege to start 1st, and even, change his Playing Face.. but despite all that..


..he still lost. lol

After a game of Ugly! Ugly! Ugly!..



The left one was snatched, and in the process, crushed, by Rash!



The four of us :)..


..taken by Caroline! who sat right beside our sofa! with her company of friends. Surprise surprise! :D

Snapped a shot with her..



XN insisted that we play TABOO! because WQ was around.. and WAHAHA! we couldnt stop laughing!

HIGHLIGHT: WQ MISTAKEN 'SCANDAL' FOR 'SANDALS', AND POM! HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE TABLE!

the next moment, XN and I just flung back onto our seats & started laughing till our guts threatened to be coughed out!



FINALLY, we had a game of First Hands, another round of laughter, paid the bill, had one last conversation with her in Singapore, and bid her farewell at the train station.

ALL THE BEST to YOU, Sweetheart!
Your presence will be very much MISSED by 4/1!
We will meet again - very soon! :D

it's been raining for hours..
and my granny keeps asking me to eat, eat, and eat!
haha. she's lovely :)

*back from kitchen..

apparently, she cooked a plate of tow gay - beansprout - for my lunch.
i like the way it's cooked - thorough, soft, yet crunchy!
every bite releases the taste of tow gay! awesome!
as much as i like to eat it..
however, i really dislike those that are cooked not long enough, and thus give a very raw taste! yikes!
bought such a plate during last sunday's lunch.. and we couldnt help but, left it aside

*finished up my lunch..

last night, i had a rather bizzare dream
in the dream, i was at a train station
it seemed that i alighted at the wrong station but decided to continue my journey from there anyway
(note: in real life, id actually missed the bus stop i was supposed to alight at at 7plus!)
then, i met delene, and we made our way to her place.
we dropped our stuff there & went to buy some snacks
on our return, it was nightfall already (it was daylight all the while till then..)
suddenly, delene began to have a worried look on her face
in front of us was a plank of wood that we had to cross to get to the other side
there was nothing below the plank of wood except clouds against the bright blue sky (it's night, though..)
i turned back and looked at her. now, beads of perspiration formed & flowed down her face
daringly, she tossed the the little blue bag of snacks into my arms & went forward, saying,
'aiya! nvm la! die, die la! no matter what, still have to cross over!'
then.. i woke up. *laughs

although id screwed up the first two papers, pacc and econs (and im still quite upset about it), im quite glad that they are over and the last paper - pth - is on thurs, aug 23. apparently, we, students, have a lack of materials to study.. well, i'll do my own revision! studying throughout the day on monday and wednesday, and doing revision here and there for the other days. yay! im going to watch fireworks tonight at marina bay! :) long awaited event! before that, will be meeting christina for shopping at tecman, and we will meet sharlene for dinner at thai express!

peace. :)

#1: Buttercup - it just keeps you wanting to take yet another bite!

#2: Prima Deli @ KK Hospital - it's really special.

#3: The rest of Prima Deli outlets & Cake History outlets

The Daily Scoopz, and other shops like Gelare, also offer tasty (or rather, tastier) waffles, but, of course, at higher costs. I think Buttercup is good enough to satisfy my tastebuds and yet, at the same time, not burn a hole in my pocket :)
