* Wednesday, June 29, 2005 * haven't been blogging much... starting to get kinda tired of putting everything that happened down. would rather talk now. weird me. but anyway i was supposed to be busy... supposed to start studying for my tests, supposed to get going with my projects.... so can't blog as much as i would want to. sigh. today wasn't a too bad day except for some small little episodes. forget it. don't want to bring it up again. went for physiotherapy today... zinee wasn't around so i got another therapist. she's kinda "bo chap" in a sense.... didn't really care what i was doing.... not really interested to teach me how to use the new machines... didn't care that i started exercising without proper warm-ups... she is just so different from zinee... hope she'll be back by the time i go for physio again. now my foot kinda hurts, have a feeling that the screws are pressing against the metal plate... and it's getting heated! agrh... friction? i hope not. went for german film fest on saturday (or so they said that it's the opening film for french film fest... eh. whatever.) it was really amazing. except for the parts when the boomer is visible! entitled "walk on water", setting is in israel... main theme evolves around how the younger generations of jews are still unable to forget about the evil deeds of the nazi during the world war... interesting topic i thought... mise en scene was way cool. complete with the beautiful sceneries of famous places like the sea of galilee where peter was told to walk on water... think that was how the movie title came about... after the movie, the 8 of us headed home... but on the way, our dear short mistooken someone else as the director of "super size me" (morgan spurlock)!!! heh. to think that we actually followed her to 'stalk' the poor guy... hee. guess what? we watched "super size me" during intro to film lecture on monday! we almost laughed our heads off... but it was really grouse. the experiments that he did... those of you who watched it should know what i'm talking about... morgan bought food like fillet-o-fish, big mac, fries from macs and placed them into jars... at the same time, he bought regular fresh burgers made of real meat patty and regular fries and placed them all into different jars... day after day, week after week... all the food starts to mould in some way or another. big mac took a much longer time to start showing signs of decomposition but wait... the fries have not even started to grow moulds after weeks!!! after 8 weeks, the smell of all the burgers were getting unbearable but the fries still looks as if it was bought the day before! what's wrong with the fries??? why doesn't it break down??? i don't think i wanna know man. disgusting. normal people would just stop eating macs forever. but me and my friends... we're crazy. we went to eat macs right after we watched it! doesn't hurt to eat it once in a blue moon i guess. haven't had them since before i fell... that's a looooong time. and i don't think i'll eat it again anytime soon. had a tiny break on sunday... got away a little in the afternoon. went to watch them play badminton. wish that i can play but well... i can't. but watching them play was good enough... at least i don't have to be buried under my piles of films/things to do! objections were overruled. i just went ahead despite of objections. felt bad after that... but am still happy that i went. dinner that night was a torture... or was it a pleasure in disguise? the food was good but i had too much. could hardly bend down after eating! alrights... think that's too much updates at a go... but well. hee... this coming sunday is youth sunday... will be backup singing for both 730 and 930 service. wait... i've to sing in choir too. eh... willl work it out somehow. we, the youths, will be performing "give them all"... oh yah... was approached to work for some trading company... not really sure how it will work out... have to find out more before i make any promises. don't want to over-commit and find myself struggling again. rushing for time all the time. sigh. see how. ok... should sleep soon. massive headache. till then.

* Friday, June 24, 2005 * my eyelids are heavy... head feels as though it's spinning... i need to sleep. but i'm still working on my presentation report. it's due tomorrow but i'm less than half done! oh no... the researching is killing me... used to be able to stay up late without any problems - but now. sigh... yawning so much till the tears well up... can't really see what i'm typing. TV studio production workshop today was real fun... had a change of teacher. a more experienced lecturer who just came back from HK! not everyone in my tutorial group like the change but i'm pretty ok at it. she's stern but she knows what she's doing... unlike the previous lecturer, not sure about everything... making us unsure too. did 2 exercises today (thurs)... the same thing twice. stressful. but super exciting! every second my heart beats faster... art test today went quite well... managed to answer all the questions without much difficulty. was among the first to hand in the paper. quite confident that i would score an A for it... *praying* agrh! i'm really too tired... but i'm not done. should try to go sleep for an hour before coming back here to slog... hopefully i'll wake up! zzzzzzz.......

admist my busy schedule, i took some time off to sit down and think... read an email from a friend. it was really encouraging... suddenly i was reminded where i'm heading to. she used the word "fantabulous" and it really spurned me on. i remembered how i love what i'm doing... that's what a little encouragement would do to a person... no matter how insignificant it may seem when we do it - it makes a great deal of difference to the person! i was very blessed by what she said... i think i think too much before i say anything... deliberate too long. way too loooooong...... it's the fear of the consequences. but some of these fears i have are actually non existent. i'm learning but my lessons come in a rather hard way. but anyhow, i'm glad that i'm managed to voice my views and thoughts. a bigger step forward. i now feel more responsible for what i'm supposed to do... and am greatly motivated! let's pray that this would last... alright, hafta go back to studying for tomorow's test... pray for wisdom and strength.

* Monday, June 20, 2005 * been in school since 8 in the morning... nearly 14 hours now. had lectures from 8-12 and 4-6... but the audio class after the 4 hours break was a disaster. felt asleep for almost half the time... don't really like audio especially when they took me out of photography for audio! heard that there will be a practical test in week 7... and what week is it now? 5!!! *agrh* feeling very tired... so many things waiting for me to do. deadlines are drawing near. but here i am blogging my time away... 1. song leading practice preparations (tues) 2. art test (thurs) 3. presentation written report (fri) 4. mission trip reflections/journal (sun) 5. film review "singin' in the rain" (next mon) and i haven't included the bible study, ongoing projects, never ending researchs, mountain-tall movies waiting to be watched... in times like this, i just feel like NOT doing anything at all. just feel like sitting down quietly with somebody and stone. i'm starting to be depressed again. the feeling of shutting myself from the world is invading my mind. starting to feel that it doesn't matter if i exist. feel like punching the wall with my fist.

* Sunday, June 19, 2005 * i'm doing things i know i should not do... i tried. but i did it again. not talk. felt like hitting myself in the head, felt like screaming in my own ear "talk!". i hate this feeling. they call it verbal constipation. there are so many things i wanna say... so many thoughts that want to be made known... so many feelings that i want to show... but. *agrrrrrh* help... i hate myself.

* Friday, June 17, 2005 * canadians flew off today... can't send them off cos of school. but i've been spending time with them the past 2 days. met them in suntec on wed afternoon then we went to SKS (apparently ps ks's favourite hideout) *hee* and we went on to sentosa at night. saw the merlion and the musical fountain... when was the last time i went to sentosa for tourist stuff? can't remember. it was quite exciting though. had school yesterday so met them later in the evening at lot 1 for dinner... andrea and i shared this super BIG murtabak... mind you. it was really huge. bigger than my head i think. woo... super stuffed after that. then we went to night safari... it's my second time there! so cool... haven't been there since i was in primary school! how long ago was that?! the only thing i could remember was the giant turtle... and it's not even there anymore! *gosh* it was really enjoyable... an unforgettable period of time we spent together. gonna miss them... we would probabaly not meet anymore. but well, at least we have memories... and pictures! last night was lock-in nite... didn't go. *agrh* wanted to. but was out with canadians plus i have a presentation this afternoon... can't afford to not sleep. ironically, i didn't sleep because of the presentation. had diarrhoea this morning and missed morning lessons... *sigh* good thing the presentation is in the afternoon! talking about the presentation... it went on good... or so i think! my tutor didn't bombard me with questions like she did to my other tutorial mates... *phew* now it's time to work on the written report! *stressed* so many things due next week! it's crazy... presentation on mission trip, reflections/journal on mission trip, written report, film evaluation... help!!! am suddenly reminded of the rainbow we saw in Don Kor... when we were building the church, the weather was perfect... it rained and the it was breezy. then when we looked out into the field ahead of the church, there was a rainbow... a full rainbow that stretched from end to end... i've never seen a rainbow that actually looks like a bridge with a perfect arch. only in storybooks of course... what's more? there were 2 of them! although it was very faint, we could see 2 full rainbows that stretched from end to end! what can be more rewarding than this? God is really amazing... He made all things beautiful. how did He even come up with the concept for rainbows? it's simply incredible... that image is imprinted in my mind and i'm constantly reminded of God's promises.

* Tuesday, June 14, 2005 * came back yesterday afternoon... should have blogged yesterday but i was too tired. i even fell asleep while unpacking last night! anyways, wish i'm still there. miss the food and the people... it has been a good trip, despite of all the little hiccups on the way. there's so much i wanna say but i needa get my thoughts straighten up... *sigh* God has taught me a lot of stuff on this trip.... stuff i thought i knew, stuff i never knew, stuff i don't know etc... have always wanted to make a difference to them, helping them with my abilities.... and on this trip, i feel so much more blessed than i could ever bless the thais. always thought i can accomplished a lot of things with my own strength but how wrong was i. the power of prayer was the main teaching point God put in place for me. i have never experienced such wonderful examples. it's amazing how through small mandate things God has taught me GREAT BIG principles! the trip went on too quickly... can't believe that i actually went and came back already! my mind's not registering... feels super unreal. felt as though i never left. a great big part of me longs to stay in thailand... so many things happened... it's almost impossible to state it all down here! HIGHLIGHTS: (the flight back) 1. met 2 ex teachers... on the same flight. (apparently they got married after they left my sec sch!) and one of them is teaching in j's school now! super weird. and yes... i don't like them. 2. donut hazards... a flight attendant approached alex when he saw alex put a box of dunkin donuts in the overhead compartment. he spoke to alex with a straight face "i'm sorry sir but you can't bring food up the plane unless you share it with the cabin crew." both of us were stunned at his comment. he repeated that comment. didn't really think much and we argued that we weren't going to eat it... then he revealed that he was just joking. oh man. he was laughing at us for being so serious. dodo. 3. explosion.... boo! when we were in mid air, we heard an explosion. oh no... realising that it couldn't be wine bottles or champange bottles, alex immediately stood up and looked into his luggage. relieved that it isn't his can of coke... phew. when we got off, i looked into the my bag full of seaweed potato chips... wahlah! they are all opened! agrh. they exploded. sharks. 4. amazing race... olivia made us lost 1 million dollars! heh. went to the airport to 'receive'/'fetch'/'get' m... agrh. what's that word? basically "jie ji" if you understand chinese... wanna to "jie" the canadians also but i realised that i didn't know their flight no when i reached the airport. stupid me. will blog more another time... simply too many things to say! hee.
