Classical music!

2007-08-14T14:03:00.000+08:00

They're playing classical music at Holland V Starbucks! :) That's awesome. Just got ultra thick coursepack for one of my sociology modules. It looks like 2 encyclopedias combined. And that's only ONE module. Can't imagine the other 3. Looks like it's going to be reading madness this semester, and the next probably. Waiting for CA team meeting to start. Would be exciting to hear from one another

Prayer in the Father’s Honor

. . . that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God —Luke 1:35 (From The Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers) If the Son of God has been born into my human flesh, then am I allowing His holy innocence, simplicity, and oneness with the Father the opportunity to exhibit itself in me? What was true of the Virgin Mary in the history of the Son of God’s birth on earth is true of

There, 10 years of music making. Kudos to the teachers, who've truly been an inspiration as I walk through this musical journey in JC, and even till today. MEP Batch of 2003. :) Still loving music. I had no idea how we did the Grainger in 3 weeks or less. Was amazing, and all thanks to Mr Ku's volunteer work, and all the encouragement we got. Thanks

Priorities

2007-07-19T21:56:00.000+08:00

God, I need to spend more time with You. Feeling like You're not so far away, but also not so near. Can't seem to communicate properly these days, sometimes I wish people could read my mind. Set aside more time intentionally to talk to You, to worship You, to read Your word. I know even if I don't say it out, You'll know what I'm thinking and all. So I'm really thankful for that. Still got to

22nd for real!

2007-07-05T22:12:00.000+08:00

So on the real birthday, 4th July was at Settler's playing "Ugly Ugly Ugly" and "Jungle Speed". Jungle Speed was crazy because the patterns were so confusing! And "Ugly Ugly Ugly" was just stupendously fun cos we were just randomly screaming that and grabbing cards at the same time. Definitely fun to play in big groups! It was awesome seeing the AC people again, makes me really miss AC! Even

Times like these...

2007-06-30T21:09:00.000+08:00

Thanks puss-in-boots for hearing me out. It's times like these where I wish I had someone sitting before me, to be praying together with me, but it seemed unlikely that you were going to be the one. Staring at the mess in front of me makes me tired, really tired. All the TKGS, ACJC yearbooks, all the lecture notes from previous NUS semesters, all the classical CDs, Christian CDs, classic novels,

Refreshed, but...

2007-06-29T18:46:00.000+08:00

With the vacuum cleaner blasting in the background, it kind of describes how I'm feeling right now. Like in God's serenity, there'll always be something that is noisy. Like how I'm still learning to surrender ALL, and say, God, I trust You, take my life and let it be. There's a way to block out the vacuum cleaner, that is to wholly surrender. It's been a wow-derful journey from my mission trip

Biblical methodologies come and go, but God’s word remains for humanity, the soil on which they spring up, flourish and die, each in its own season, till God’s plan for creation reaches its intended fulfilment (cf. Isa 10-11).Came across this as I did my essay. The essay's quite painful to do though, but at least I've learnt quite a lot in the process of doing it.

It's been a loooong, but enjoyable day. Maybe except for the time I broke down without knowing why. Shirley and Gail was saying there must be a reason for this, but I really do not know what. So on the way home I was just thinking to myself, what is it, God, that You want me to learn from this? Is there something You want to surface out of this? Because I'm someone who can't stop crying when I

Today in school, in the attempt of wanting to do research for the bible paper, downloaded loads of journals to read. Very excited about Music Missions to Japan! And how we can bless the Japanese! Reaaaally excited about how finally I can use the gifts God has given me to bless others through missions. =)

What a LOUSY week, BUT...Got back religion essay and was terribly disappointed, expected myself to do better because this is something I've done before in Soci of Religion. Looks like it didn't turn out well at all. We went as a group to collect the papers, and all of us got like low Bs and Cs, so you can imagine how it felt like the sky just dropped on me when I saw my grade. Then marathon of

Hmmm... Yesterday at Jimmy and Monika's place, as we were just talking and sharing... this was something that struck me. Don’t insist on changing one another, but allow God to change you, to grow you first, before you encourage, help and complement one another. ... with regards to Jon and I. I guess this is really how the triangle analogy translates into words.

huge load off my shouldersWhat a day. Thank God for a fruitful tutorial though. After analysing the poems and all for race tutorial, I kinda felt dizzy. And had a paper to edit to submit at 3pm. After submitting the paper, I'm still seeing stars. I think my brain's totally fried. Can't really think anymore. And I didn't really stay up late to finish up my race paper. In fact, I slept and woke up

Yea we cooked! :)So we thought cooking was pretty de-stressing, so we cooked! :) Pasta in alfredo, with salmon and garlic herb sausages. With mushroom simmered with spices. Being busy kinda stresses the both of us up, so it's a good way to unwind. There's just so many things to think about. Especially after seeing the 2 couples in our pre-marital counselling going through so much preparation for

I'm just so tired. So tired I wish I could just sleep through everything. God, I try to run on Your strength, but why does it still seem so tiring?I feel like I don't really know myself. I feel like

The Search for the Malay Aunties

The Search for the Malay AuntiesToday I went around hunting for the Malay Aunties who work as cleaners in NUS. Be it in the library, along AS3 (as Derek recommended) or at the corner. Today the Malay Aunties all are nowhere to be found! And, when you do not want to deliberately look for them, they're all over the place! Cleaning toilets when I want to use them, sweeping underneath the benches

I guess sometimes it's good to not have any expectations. Then I won't be disappointed. Approaches to study of religion presentation tmr.

I thought wrong. But, HK was a good break though it was short. Poor Jon fell sick over the last 2 days there, after having lunch with Pak Kei. So that was kinda like a good rest for me, after waking up at 6am

Do you drive the car or do you let the car drive you?Something I read from "Making Jesus Lord" by Loren Cunningham. It seems that us, Christians already have the call, but sometimes we don't seem to respond to it, and always claim that God hasn't called us. But the fact IS, that we're called. Called to His purpose, to expand the kingdom of God. "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to

new addition

2005-11-16T14:07:00.000+08:00

New AdditionJust snugly slotted in a new addition into my music certificates file. YAY! =)Praise the Lord for blessing me with such results! You can't imagine the anxiety that was within me as I went up the super old lift to the 3rd floor. And I was handed an envelope with a cardboard backing. Now I know the difference, paper backing or cardboard backing. There's really a difference. But

Upset

2005-10-09T23:05:00.000+08:00

UpsetIt's just kind of strange that I really am upset about stuff, but I don't want to show it for fear that it will snowball into something bad. But it really sucks to keep it all inside me. Really. It's like I want to be frank and vent it all out, but I'm afraid of it having negative effects. So everything is just kept within me. Seems like a vicious cycle. It's just not helping that I'm sooo

It's over!

2005-09-16T17:13:00.000+08:00

It's over! But I'm gonna miss it. FINALLY, it's over. DipABRSM. Piano. Performing. I can still recall how I was doing up the cover page for my prog notes. Now I don't have to see msn nicks that go "YAY! My exam's over!" and feel sad for myself! Cos like most people took their exams one week before mine, and I was one of the last to take it! But nevertheless I still forced myself to persevere on.

Joce and Em's BdayThis post is about one week late. Apologies for being late! Had to settle down in school, prepare for students' exam, my own exam. Getting calls bout NUSPE, answering the same question ten thousand times via email, sms. Nevermind the work, just hope they'll all join after gaining so much information about us. It's really quite tiring. Pretty stressful this week even though there

School Starting

2005-08-05T17:27:00.000+08:00

School StartingThis starting of school and all just doesn't feel that good to me. Makes me feel like I've got a thousand and one things on my hands to do. It's like I can't breathe. My school timetable isn't all that busy actually but it just seems like I've got soooo many things to do, crusade, teaching, etc. I feel like stopping the music lessons in Orchard. Feels like I've got too many

German Kids!Joined Jon's cousins for dinner to celebrate their baby's 1st month! Soooo cute the baby! Big eyes! And Jon's nieces and nephews joined in too. Was quite fun with the kids around, though they were pretty hyper active. The German siblings were spouting bits of German - sounds really nice! That's a start for me as I'm gonna do German this semester. The kids were really running all over

Last Day of Teen-dom

2005-07-03T22:56:00.000+08:00

Last Hour of Teen-domSuddenly I just feel quite old. But I shall tell myself I'm not. Well, I'm really not! It's only turning 20. No big deal. The jump from 19 to 20 does sound pretty big though. Oh well... I have enjoyed enough of teen-dom. Perhaps it's time to realise that I really should grow up and be somewhat independent. But, to a certain extent, I'm pretty much independent other than my

Island Trip and Uncle Ed's BirthdayWas at St.John's over the last weekend. It was pretty fun getting to know the YAG people over at the island.

Makes me laugh my head off! haha!The girls near my bunk! They were the people I

2005-06-10T16:49:00.000+08:00

I'm happy where I am (part II)And so the journey continues. I think the 'indigenous people' there are living in their own world, because the Chinese there are NORMAL. I wanted to buy lunch from this stall, but this uncle refuses to bother with me no matter how long I stand there. Then other 'same breed' came along and ordered, he served them immediately. It doesn't matter how many times I called

2005-06-06T23:43:00.000+08:00

I'm happy where I amMust really thank God for placing me in Singapore. It really doesn't matter whether the weather here is scorching, people a little kiasu, education a tad over-emphasised, country a little too small, entertainment a little limited (and expensive) or living expenses a tad too high, I'm still really glad that I live here. And I'm proud to say that. Nope, I ain't writing for any

The TWO Reunions!

2005-06-03T10:47:00.000+08:00

The TWO Reunions!Meeting up with long lost friends have never been better. Actually, it wasn't really long lost friends, just that we never really take the effort to meet up, gather and just hang out together. I'm really glad these gatherings actually took place, I'm sure we did a lot of catching up! =)The Teachers' Reunion! (without xuan...)We went to Ichiban and decided that the sushi there had

This hols, everyone's like busier than me. (That is truly rare!) And everyone I asked is either sick, or busy. Count the odds of that!Therefore I declare myself to go on a shopping spree right now! By myself! Which could be quite fun I

Fishing!

2005-05-19T18:58:00.000+08:00

FISHING!!!Went fishing in the big big sea yesterday! It was fun, other than the after fishing syndrome, of which when I got on land, I still felt like I was in the boat, swaying to and fro. Quite a queer feeling. Well, at least I didn't get seasick! First time fishing, like Joel, but all the beginner's luck went to him!!! =P Came back like a lobster (the NUSPE ppl can attest to that!), Benji boo

The Day I lost my PINK sweaterThose of you who know me for a long time will know that I possess a pink sweater that's real comfy and cosy. This fateful day, I was so engrossed in the natural environment I was placed in that I DROPPED my sweater. And that place was, yes, a birding paradise. So that's in the West. Like EXTREME WEST. And only when I reached the east, then I started to frantically

What a Week...

2005-04-06T02:15:00.000+08:00

WHAT A WEEK!!!!!Last Thurs was like the most exciting day of the year - so far. Well, yes, my life isn't that exciting but there IS a highlight nevertheless! =) It was the Chamber Music Festival, and T.H.E Quartet was very honoured to have a masterclass with the Australian String Quartet. They're such dynamic ppl, you never want the masterclass to end. We were alright on stage, but you should

Week 8 is disgustingly terrible!

2005-03-09T01:52:00.000+08:00

Week 8 is disgustingly terrible!Urgh! I decided to vent it all out here..Tomorrow's the concert, my item's more or less prepared I guess. Mr Ku said Allan and I sounded like we've played with one another for years. I was like "huh? You gotta be kidding me!". But as of now, I'll take it as a kinda compliment and swallow it down.Concert tomorrow, or rather, today. Rehearsal just now, or rather,

Testing my faithGetting back to school after ALL the breaks, holidays is like BAD. BBBAAAAAAAADDD!!! I can't seem to orientate myself again, confusing myself between what week this is - odd or even. This semester is like seriously NO FLOW! It's like I can't settle down in school at all. It's end of week 6, yet it feels like week 3. This is bad. Like reeeeaaalllyyy bad. This is the time of project

The Age of Marriages Got an angbao from my cousin who just got married mid last year. And I'm gonna be an auntie in August. How fast time flies. This year, the brother of my that cousin who's to-be-a-dad soon is also getting married. Witnessed like a zillion weddings last year. So many people getting married. What's SDU for? =p Then of course reunion dinner aunties will pop the question, "Got

What's up?

2005-02-08T01:42:00.000+08:00

What's Up? The Ceiling... Right! Ok, anyway, this week doesn't even feel like school at all cos my lecturers cancelled the classes. Realised that school's pretty slack for me. Doesn't feel too good when school doesn't even feel like school. But then it means that I'll have lots of time for other stuff. =) like going shopping and meeting up with my dear teacher buddies! Besides that, shopping

What a hectic week!

2005-01-18T13:53:00.000+08:00

What a hectic week ahead! This week's gonna be lots of running here and there. I really wish this week would pass ASAP! Tomorrow I'll need to go down to Clementi Yamaha to practise with my duo partner at 10am! 10am! Then I'll need to head back to the east to give a girl tuition at 3.30pm! At 6pm I need to be at Ang Mo Kio Bethesda Church for a wedding rehearsal! Allow me to vent some anger on

It ain't so bad after all...

2005-01-11T22:41:00.000+08:00

It ain't so bad after all... So, school started with a bang and a wham today. The first creatures I saw in school today were two beings dressed up gothic style. Massive, big, outrageous hairdos. I was like Wow! Where on earth did they find the time to do that? Definitely attention seeking-they were incredibly successful in doing that. All eyes on them! Not a very pleasant way to make me feel

Starting School

2005-01-11T14:00:00.000+08:00

Starting School... School's starting in 2 hours time! Then I'll b sitting in a lecture theatre, listening to the lecturer, looking up on the projected screen and writing things that I think are important. Or so I hope that school IS really like that. In actual fact, of course I do not want school to be like that cos that would be ultimately sooooo boring! But then again, isn't that the only
