Chapters of my life:
I started this blog as a place to share my life and testimony.
We all walk this road with Christ, but we are not meant to walk it alone.
I pray that my words here will encourage and uplift you even as they reflect the One who is the author and finisher of my faith.
The blog address is taken from one of my favourite songs "Above All".

Who I Am
Heya!! In school now, mels is sitting next to me on the left...drish and nat have just left now..having a deep convo with mels now..haha...sighs.. listening to Jessica Andrews' "Who I am" and enjoying the songs that Daphne downloaded for me!! ^_^ haha...I wrote people testimonials to keep myself happy!! haiz...soap operas are complicated...yes..they are..and if you're in the middle of one-as the secret bearer, it's even worse..sighs...Happy Birthday Kristi and Kathi!! *muackz..okok...check out the lyrics of this song..this is dedicated to Mels..for listening to me and understanding..this is her song..
WHO I AM
If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alrightIf I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
Cause I know exactly who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The splitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
So when I make a big mistake
And when I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowing I will be just fine
Cause nothing changes who I am
I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser; I'm a winner
I am steady and unstable
I'm young, but I am able
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The splitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
That's who I am
love loads, wll write again soon!!

The Happy Song
The title of my post was going to be great expectations due to unexpected circumstances, but then I'm officially happy now.. ^_^ The cause of my happiness: Mels, Pen, Sugi came home!!! hahaha... well...now to document the chronicles of great expectations..
Once upon a time, a group of people who expected the level of singapore's hotels to be of reasonable standard, stumbled upon-horror of horrors one that didn't match the image in their minds..due to the fact that the ppl there were advertising it as a "resort"..
1) the carpet leading up to toilet was mouldy
2) dead moths and beetles on the carpet
3) the buffet "spread" was two main dishes -_-"
4) the curtain-blinds had fallen and were not replaced
5) two staff looked after the concierge
6) you had to pull your luggage to your room (3rd floor)
7) there was one lift that sounded like a generator was dying each time someone used it and it was outside my room
8) the air conditioning was on at 17 degrees celsius but the room felt like a sauna
9) no cable!!!! no internet!!!! [sighs]
10) the door: a) was soooo thin you could hear EVERYTHING outside b) had a lock that was half-ripped off from the wall c) had a door lock that was jammed all the time
So...the people from singapore had an interesting experience in an island resort that looked dilapidated and old and run down.. (felt that it was xing teng[heartache]..sighs) and the musical fountain was a wasted opportunity..the sound system was so horrid..sighs..
But, when everyone came home (meaning mels, penny, sugi, kathi, kristi, nic, marcus, debbie, yaan neng and esther lee) it made things all better!!! ^_^ love!!! will write soon.

Kiss of Heaven
Hi again!! I found out that I like blogging!! haha.. today was fun!!
It started off as a hectic morning..my dad called me and asked me for the slide of song lyrics...turned out he was searching for the wrong song title.Then casually checked my smses after his phone call and found that Daphne sent me one in the morning telling me that physics class started at 9 instead of 11 like we thought. Which brought to my mind that the fact that we (mels and I) had arranged to have lunch at 1pm (which is when we thought the class would end) so...I had to emergency-call Mels up and tell her that we had to rush off..but, 5 minutes before that, I was on the phone with Kenneth about O level english paper results, and so I had to juggle between phones. Then, as I was trying to figure out how to get to school in ten minutes (as Kai said that that was when Sugi's extra class would finish...) Mels called and asked me if I needed a ride..THANK GOD!! :D
Then we stopped off and went to Cold Storage-where while in search of 3-in-1 coffee, we bumped into Kai and Sugi..haha..very surprised. And then I became very happy when I realised I was wearing my Disneyland tee. ^-^ After leaving cold storage, we proceeded to stand around Holland V shopping centre deciding what to do with our lives..haha..Mel and I had the I-just-woke-up-dun-feel-like-eating syndrome for a while, so we walked around for a while and the guys decided to walk into SASA in search of a present for Lix..we scrapped make-up off the list and concentrated soon after on playing with perfume..haha.."Lacoste-Touch of Pink", "Britney Spears" , "Anna Sui" and etc..I quote Kai "you mean she's a walking fruit salad?" haha..then we decided to walk over to SPIZZA for lunch, but a beautiful Steph Ann opened the NYDC door and that's where I ended up eating "Three Amigos". We were served by a waitress named Lydia and Sugi said (to Mels) " you're mean" (and then to me) "but she's evil" muahaha..sounds like me huh? We joined Alex, Kenneth (a different one) and Mich in addition to Steph.
After much laughter and being tormented by Alex eating a very rich-looking chocolate ice-cream cake, we decided to leave. (Both Kai and Sugi were stoning) Mel: "Sugi why are you stoning?" Kai: " Hey Sugi! You stole my emotions!" We (now in addition with Hughlyn and Iain) stood blocking the pavement outside Crystal Jade deliberating where to go and that's where I saw that Channel 8 actress...Yvonne something..haha.. Anyway, we went to the taxi stand and took two cabs to Cine..while in cab, saw Denise Keller walk by..^-^ Kai, Mels and Alex went home.
Arrived at Cine and went to play in arcade..met Gillian and Qi Hui, watched them dance for a while, watched Iain, Hugh and Sugi play air hockey and then me, Steph and Mich went competitive driving..pai seh larh..this senior is lousy at driving..haha..Steph and Mich won..haha..Steph and Mich went killing people soon after and then...we raced for a while more..I still sucked at it..and then we brisk walked to Plaza Singapura..where we got tickets for Star Wars Episode Three:Revenge of the Sith.It was going to start at 4, so went down to Yamaha where Hugh played with $5300 drumset and I went to check out the $1000 guitars...sighs...nice,nice guitars..oh..then we rushed up to buy food/ go to the toilet and then into the theatre..the loudness of the sound rattled me for a while, but then I adjusted after that.
The movie was fine..but they killed all the romantic scenes..sighs..so cliched and Natalie Portman looked bad in them. I came away from the movie with two things..how hate can transform you into a non-thinking person and how being possesive/obsessed even for whatever "right" reasons would not allow reason and judgement in. Much like being obssessed with something/anything/anyone would not allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives. Then we left (freezing!!!) and I walked around a bit more- I now know where Swensens is and the toilets and the taxi stand..haha..
Came home for dinner..bathed, watched CSI, talked to Mels, did Laundry, locked up the house and finally-blogged...Yessie, Jon and Sugi called and my phone refused to conference yessie and Jon, so someone always got cut off..sighs..and then, I realised I have Bio at 9am tml...and am getting back my Bio test results...*trembling* Mum, Dad, Peter and Ju coming home tomorrow...Am listening to "Kiss of Heaven" Darlene Zchech's album and am thinking of logging off now..gdnite!!! ^_^
