'Let go and let God.'
Nov. 13th, 2007 | 08:48 pm
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.'

Christine met up with me at our classroom after accounts paper. boy, i had a TUMMYACHE halfway through! >< nonetheless, seems like ive done it well! yay!! :) we walked to the Vanda Room which is above the staff centre. haha, apparently, i was off-duty and asked to donate blood instead.. yeah, so, christine and i went through several stations before finally giving our blood! id say, it's a really much more pleasant experience than id expected. yeah, it was painful. but, not as bad as id feared. 1st experienced pain when the nurse pricked my middle finger for lab test. then, the second was the injection of anaesthetic. then, it was just numbness and you couldnt feel the big needle at all. while waiting for the nurse, a very sweet girl sat beside me and constantly encouraged me! boy, she's soo sweet. :)

tubes of blood.. my blood! 6 in all. lol

transfusion taking place..

almost done!

the armband. it's green

give blood.

after 4 hours of wearing that GREEN thing.
overall, it's a pretty pleasant experience. the nurses are very friendly & nice! first, the head of staff nurse did some blood pressure thing & kept asking me if i was okay cuz i was looking pale. assured her like 10 times over & then, another indian nurse took over & started using the needles.. ouch ouch. just a bit & no more! haha. the transfusion probably took less than 7 minutes. then, i rested for about 5 mins and mr ang kk who seemed to be the in-charge came over & dressed my arm for me. they were all very warm and encouraging. they just made you feel so at ease & joyful in giving! :) oh, and Christine is joining us at SP Red Cross too! wheee! :)
upcoming..

*very looking forward to cell@wenfu's new place tmr, diwali cel@shamala's place tmr, & END of MST week! heh :D

Happy Children's Day!
Oct. 2nd, 2007 | 12:13 am
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..

amazingly, they were dismissed in less than an hour! lect/tut was supposed to be 2 hours long! i was released about 40 mins before schedule too. met up with them at fc 5 where hey! gorgeous was held. pl snapped a shot for kx & i with nat ho (i didnt know his name at first):

..okay, i know i looked darn funny. and, no, i didnt do it on purpose! pl said there was smth wrong & that kinda shocked me.. (nat ho told us to take a quick snap cuz he was abt to go on stage) so, yah.
nevertheless, i still snapped one before he went up! =P

im short lah.. and quite obviously, so he automatically bent a little. hah. we zhao immediately & pl & i went botak jones @ clementi for fish & chips:

after we'd finished eating, pl was obsessed with the cube! but the sun wasn't too kind with its light shining down on us, and the auntie winding up the cover. thus, we made a move opp! to clementi's mac's! teehee. determined to solve the cube by that day, pl sat there practising the steps i told her:

we left at around 5. took bus svc 105 together and i alighted first & went to my mum's pl while she contd on to go home. i rmb we had a good laugh watching My Sassy Neighbour. hah. spent some time with my sisters (who contracted a horrible virus) & unfortunately.. mum was working OT & couldnt hv dinner together. ah, well.. dont know why the last few times i visited, my parents wld be working OT.
met up with tw to try some japanese restaurant. BUT, ah, the place was bursting & fully packed with ppl! what's more? we made a reservation. ah, the service was really bad. but, tw insists that the food is superb, good & fresh! i saw some food being served and a couple (who seemed quite class) was willing to wait for seats at 9pm, so i guess it's really worth the try. then again, the service was really really bad.
walked over to another jap rest to try our luck (as a way of saying..) and ended up in an Australian (i guess) restaurant called Aerin's. they serve really good stuff! *slurrrpps!

hitch fizzy

prawn poppers served with a really nice sauce & fresh veg

fillet of snapper. tw's.. wasn't cleared though. ha

yakiniku cod! trust me, it's really amazing! i'd never ever tasted such good mashed potato! to go with my fav cod (it's so fresh it melts in your mouth!), served in a tasty sauce & topped with fresh chewies & satueed tomato (ah, i love this too)!

best mashed potato i've ever tasted

it melts in your mouth. literally.

the skin

i ate it up too! wiped the whole plate clean!

baked apple and rhubarb pie (their signature dish).

really good stuff! probably my first experience eating melted (or rather, hot!) ice cream

open-concept dining
passed by an art gallery & snapped pics of some interesting art pieces..

if you realized.. that's actually a replica of mao ze dong

how did the artist paint this?

freakily funny fatso. ha it's ART.
WARNING: Please DO NOT scroll down any further if you are eating now or anytime soon!

i told ya! ;)

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)

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? ;)

didnt eat any good stuff today
Sep. 29th, 2007 | 11:09 pm
ha.. waited for a while & was then strapped to the dental chair for an awful 20 mins experience
DR CHNG did some horrible thing to my horrible tooth (or stupid tooth, as named by him) so as to straighten it
he said that once this is done, we're done & off my braces will go! ha
after doing some stuff at home, i packed my books along with my laptop (maybe i should name it?) & went to sinong's place to.. study! haha. slacked & studied. repaired my spss software & did some spss revision. heh got stuck on this 3 marks qn for damn damn long before i got some help. ha then, sinong was going out with her parents so i made a move back home.
took a bath, ate some of my ah ma's meesiam (1st try) & off i went to clarke quay to meet up with rx & co. spent two hours there.. had a chat with this very sweet chinese girl called yuanyuan. heh yup.. and headed back home then.
reached home around 10pm.. i snoozed throughout the journey. heh, woke up & it's bp already. i still rmb my head swinging around in all directions! haha. oh, bp has PASAR MALAM now! haha it's quite different from those in the past.. you have some turkish food selling at 5 bucks! i rmb buying them & was shocked when i gave a $10 note and didnt rcv any change.


in my opinion, it's really quite tasty & fills up your stomach. probably worth three bucks or at most, a four. i ate it when i was already quite full.. and so, uh.. was struggling to finish it up cux at the same time, couldnt bear to waste food (taught by my parents) & money (heart pain lah.. 5 bucks leh!).. do try it out yourself & tell me about it! =)
