If You Can Dream- Original Voices of the Disney Princesses

hee. I just had to post this video. It's just sweet and cool that they got all the voices to sing in it. Pocahontas' (Judy Kuhn) and Belle's (Paige O Hara) voices are very distinct. Twinny's leaving. :( 76 days. The countdown has started. sighs.. oh well. He had fun...tts what's important [remember NOvember Twinny...omg...now it's stuck in my head..lol]

Church tonight was very good. There was a powerful presence of the Holy Spirit in the place. Pastor Rita spoke and we had a very good time of worship. I enjoyed tt. Then came home to watch a bit of lady and the tramp. ^_^ Ohohoh...I want to watch THUMBELINA now. Will go rent it tml. LOL. in one of them moods. Love twinny! Once Upon a December. God Bless all!

Tell the World

100TH POST! And guess who has the honour of being blogged about? "Only enough for one bird" Hughlyn Tan CH. lol. Twinny's going home tomorrow so I need to dedicate this space and my time to talking about him. HUGHLYN and I happen to be TANs and we both happen to enjoy the privilege of being born on the same day (WOO JAE...lol..)

But yeah. Hughlyn helped chapel rock today. ^_^ I woke up exceedingly early and beat Sean to school. lol. Miles and Evan rock too! good job, good job. I'll send you guys the recording when I get it from Mr Bruno. How cool is that? The worship team is very family-ish. We pray before and after, debrief, sing, make fun of each other, and most importantly, we praise God. We did Who Am I, Tell the World and Everyday... much laughter ensues backstage over the most randomest of talk items after that. Elenea is such a funky person. Yeah. Then Mr Toyne gave us a talk about "making our mark" and I could hear nat, drish, penny and other ppl talking about one bird and such. lol. Had Geog and got back my paper. I got an A. A really low one. oh well. A levels...A levels..

Lol... I love the little library room at the back of the library. It's soooo nice to sleep in. Caught a bit of scrubs and family guy with hugh before we got chased out. hee hee. By the time it was 1.45, I was totally wiped out. Stupid meds. I was goneee, speech started slurring, cannot stand straight etc..so sarina (who was sick) and I beat a hasty retreat to go home at 1.55. Sighs. I got home and slept-solid...missed quite a few phone calls... lol..sorry. And that meant that I cut short my time to spend with Hugh. :(

So yes, ok..back to the important person that he is... *wink wink* (cover one eye...lol) In the two weeks that you were here, I bet you helped everybody- You gave everybody such fun memories, incredible moments of friendship and many hours of laughter. You also neglected to say that you are highly skilled in the air guitar. haha. I probably can't sum up your trip back here, I doubt if anyone person can, but...I think this will do it... hugh, hugh..."IT'S ONLY ENOUGH FOR ONE BIRD!!!" You will always find a place with us. You know that, ACS Intl family 4-lyfe. [which can also be broken down into various subsets] I love you twinny and so does everyone else.

Everyday

hahaha... just read sugi's blog. FREELOADER! iain has taught you too well. Oh...and since he wants to be "famous" (notorious more likely) I will add to another silly sugi moment.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE... (thanks Hugh)

Silly Sugi Moments: Part 4 (part 3 was on mel's blog)

*esther (wondering where sugi was) calls him* eh? where are you?

*sugi* I'm not coming already, too late.

*esther (shocked and exasperated)* WHAT!?! You can't just do that! You need to tell people in advance, say you're sorry....

*sugi* yarh, but it's too late..

*esther (hyperventilates)*

*sugi (bursts out into laughter at sick esther's expense)* NO LAH! I'm on my way... (laughs somemore)

*esther* The next time you see me, a vase will connect with your skull.

TIME ELAPSES.

*esther(messages)* OEI. You're making ppl wait for you. Where are you?

*sugi (in ACTUAL MESSAGE)* OMG! THE STUPID CAB DRIVER BROUGHT ME TO NGEE ANN POLY WHEN I SAID NGEE ANN GIRLS!

*esther (in hysterical laughter with everyone else)* HELLO!?! NAN YANG GIRLS HIGH, not ngee ann girls...excuse me!?!

[WHO'S GOT THE BETTER OF WHO NOW HUH SUGI!?! GO COVER YOUR EYES LAH. I think the sunshine is making you mad. ]

LOL. Hope you laughed at that. No matter which side you were on.

Anyway, an update on my status. (still single...hahahaha..ok no) erm, I had two days of incredible 15 hour drug-induced sleep. haha... That coupled with a LOT of water, gave me back my voice (and sanity...haha...sorry chris, you won't see me do anything stupid other than walk into doors)

Went to mel's house last night for dinner with her family, iain, sugi and hugh. Brie and paddy are so cute together. I arrived to watch iain and mel do cupcakes...hahaha...icing union. ^_^ Anyway, then we all sat around waiting for SUGI and hugh to arrive. And I got out the vase.. lol. anyway... we had dinner and everyone poked fun at everyone. It was so funny...stories ranged from "the amazing ticker tape adventures of teh-o" to "spectrum blindness" hahaha... Then we had a little sing-a-long with the piano and guitar. Before I had to leave for home.

*SLEEP*

Today, I came back to school. Thank God for Thursdays. It was a soft start cause I was still soo drowsy. I slept in the library (FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR!) next to mel while iain played his game boy and manav read... wai leong, nat and alex were somewhere there too. Then I had lit...where we laughed at RAPANZEL and BRUW lol. Mr Goh, Mr Goh, what would we do without you? After school, I sat around talking with Joel, Bjorn and Sugi for a bit, before Hugh came and we went to set up for chapel. Chapel practice was so chaotic today, but it's not our fault (right evan?) lol. Came home to dinner after sending the "one bird" off. ^_^ Am about to bed again. Need my rest for my voice and welfare. AND GUESS WHAT!?! I missed graduation planning meeting. sighs. was so disorientated. sheesh. anyway. Love you all peeps. After this week, I'm aiming for my As! WATCH ME DO THIS! oh and pray for me too! *mwah* God Bless. Nite!

Silly Songs with Larry

OMG. I just woke up. The meds are awesome. Talk about knockout. I took them at 6pm and thought it would work about half an hour later. But while I was reaching out to get my handphone, I fell asleep. LOL. And woke up now. With a subsiding fever and a bit of my voice back. ^_^ oh and orange called! HI!!! hee. Love daphne! help me get the corrections! merci!

I feel giddy though...like a tornado is ripping through my brain... sheesh and I can't stand still. LOL. *tips over* haahahaha... cue silly songs with Larry.

*Everybody's got a water buffalo, yours is fast but mine is slow.. oh everybody's got a water buffaloooooo..... I took my buffalo to the store got it's head stuck in the door....oh everybody's got a water buffaloooo...* (veggietales)

Being sick is funny. ok...time for an update on (big voiceover like in the funny movies)

SILLY SUGI MOMENTS: PART TWO

*esther (casually)* hey! is that a mosquito bite on your face?

*sugi (fingers everywhere but spot)* where?

*esther (shakes head)* there!

*sugi (finds spot)* oh.... I didn't even know!

silence, time elapses

*sugi (scratching)* eh, now that you mentioned it, it's itchy leh*

silence... TABLE BURSTS OUT INTO LAUGHTER (again)

=_=" aiyo. lol. ok...woozy... going directly to bed again. This stuff is strong man. My head is spinning already. Goodnight. Just adding this picture that KATHI likes better. (i agree) love dear! of course I'll miss you when we leave too!

Emotional

HAHA..LOOK at the song title. First thing I did when I came home (besides, walking into my door) was to hear this song. lol. So I had an okay day today. Got a C-E-C for bio which brings my grade to an impressive....D. But I predicted it for prelims. Going for the A in A levels. Got a B for lit. Not that bad. Again, A for A levels... just watch me. sighs. Left Geog tommorrow-but I'm on MC. fever, cough, runny nose, etc. Dr Norman Koh laughed at me. lol.

ACK. oh and mummy said that if I don't get well I'm not allowed out on wednesday too. Which means bye bye dinner party if my immune reaction doesn't kick in. Ohohoh! Diva if you read this, we confirm the songs ok? Always and forever, Now that you're near and Who am I. Amazing grace we've done too many times. Please help me ask mr bruno whether he wants to play bass for us. Mr Teh is on stand by liao. Go print song lyrics and chords with him. Thanks much.

Haha. so anyway, I went on a cupcake hunt with penny, drishti, daphne, sugi, mel and iain after school. No success. LOL. I forgot the address. Then I went to silver cross. hee. wah piang eh. waited 35 minutes to see him for 5. =_=" haiz. then went to foodcourt. Oh, I'm supposed to post this as part of a series of "sugi" events. (refer to mel/iain/sugi for rest)

SILLY SUGI MOMENTS: PART ONE.

*mel to sugi who was staring at the lights on the ceiling* Sugi what are you trying to do? Replace your sunshine with artificial light?

*sugi (looks shocked) to mel* no, and what makes you think I'm thinking of her? And anyway, you wun know what I'm thinking about.

*sugi looks back at light intently with swift, diva like expression and attitude*

TABLE BURSTS OUT INTO LAUGHTER...

haiz. some people. boats la ok? boats. Only sean can do the diva well. hahaha. pray for my swift recovery ok people? Daddy's in orlando now. Love to all. cya wednesday (hopefully) schoolmates! Oh, nat-pls call me when you read this. Thanks. Oh and thinks she sooo sexay that she wants to slap herself for taking this picture with me...she's nuts. I agree though. lol. love you! SHOUTOUT TO KENNETH (TAN) hahaha. you just realised that we clear chinese in year 1? LOL.

Hannah Montana-Who Said

This is a really cool song. It's so upbeat. It's making me happy. lol. Keep in mind that she's only 13. Her voice is huuuuggggeeee... lol. her dad rocks too.

Adonai

LOL. oh hope you like your photos people! chatted with chris just now-we'll catch up soon again! anyway, this is keeping me entertained in between dozing off and waking up.

Things I want to say to various people: (everyone else has done this, so-now's my turn)"List the things you want to say to different people in no particular order. Do not state who these people are."-watch me try! lol

1) I love You and You mean the world to me. You have been through it all with me. Every single step of the way. You are my very bestest bestest best friend. And my reason for living.

2) I miss you now that you're away. I love how we can just sit together for hours singing praises to God and how you are always there for me. I'm sorry I caused you so much hurt and pain all those times. But you are one of my best friends too and I have just been too slow to say it. I love you.

3) They say I'm a reflection of you. I guess I am, but I love how we can laugh about anything under the sun (including at you, haha) I admire your strength and courage and your willingness to sacrifice for us. I love you- you need to know.

4) Living with a mess like me ain't exactly easy. lol. trips, talking, crying, laughing, clothes, shoes, makeup, hair. You are my first reference, first line of defence and my "mirror buddy" (yes, yes ok I admit it) You will also always be my first sister and best friend [sad right? haha] There is so much strength of character within you that I admire. You are my asherite and joy bringer. Blue skies, blue skies. Love you.
5) haha... I love you just because you are you. You bring me so much happiness when we spend time just sitting together and talking about the most random things like... porsche turbo 911, soccer, rugby, helicopters...you get the idea. I will always be proud of you. And remember you promised to be my best friend always, no matter what. *mwah* [im posting even though you may not read this]

6) To the "family" who I've always felt a part of. 4th year anniversary coming up! You always know how to cheer me up. Ah pa, ah ma, di and mei, you are the most awesome ungamers in the world. I love every single minute of my time I spend with you. You are people I can always count on no matter what the situation or circumstances. Love you all so much!

7) Bestest best. RelationSHIPs have another meaning for you. lol. I love how you can make me laugh anytime, anywhere. (clapping huh?) I can't believe my crying made you cry "it's not going to end. we should stop this now" lol. It's been an amazing 2 years we've been through, and although sometimes we appear to have drifted apart, please know that you'll always hold a special place in my heart. You were my first real friend (you know it) here and the one I can always talk to [just pick up the darn phone, though] ^_^ I thank God he placed you in my life. People just can't see how mature you are, especially in the Lord. You are such a real blessing to me and will continue to be. Your life and experiences make living for Jesus all worthwhile. Gambate!

8) sister I love you. We've been through rough patches. And the whole class probably knows about it, but like I said. I will always remember. I will remember waiting with you til 4 am for hawaii. Making the dress in your house. All the singing, laughing, crying, talking and plain making ourselves look silly. I will remember your heart of servitude to God. I remember your energy and how you've turned into such a beautiful woman. Thank you for being my pillar of support. My source of hugs, my high buddy. We still do get high over the most random of things. My theme song with you will always be "home" cause you accepted me as me and made me feel like I was always at home.

9) HA HA HA HA HA. You, I have the most fun with. Really. I don't know why but we seem to be able to laugh very easily. and shuddup about stretch marks already. You're brilliant, have a caring heart, are a good friend and have the best possible sense of humour. (your appetite makes mine look miniscule) I love you for that. *watch the ego, watch it....* I understand why girls are such good friends with you.. (hahaha... gay!!!!) hee. YOU ALWAYS SAY THE RIGHT THINGS. We've been through some times too eh? the weather...my gosh... becoming a regular geographer now. Thanks for everything. I know, I know $50. :D

10) My equatorial low. I AM NOT CALLING YOU SHORT OR FAT! lol. I love you a lot for being there for me through the hurricane seasons (geddit geddit?) LOL. You bring damage control to a whole new level. You're an absolutely gorgeous NATural beauty. haha...pun! pun! (people would agree) You rock my world off the richter scale. You are also the weird source of dane cook/kings of convenience. *I was in the kitchen, doing this dish, when I heard it. Yes officer I can testify in court that I heard it happen. In the kitchen, while I was doing the dishes* Geographer's Bar LUB LUB LUB.

11) Marplat. Subtropical high. With you around, we are reverse peanut butter and chocolate oreos. HAHA. You I love cause you're so funny. You also have insights from a different angle and are the support/ cheer leading section. Thank God we became tight before we left man. We were the ones who came up with the original geog jokes ok? grass, weed, speed, ice, pot...HAHAHAHA... LSD... ROFL. Nowadays I feel lost without you *awwwwww... LUB CHIEW!

12) Love of my life and sister. Yes, EVEN THOUGH I stood infront of you in the dressing room, it does not give you the right to grope me in public. LOL. You are my fosters buddy, shopping consultant, mother-gripeing, pun spewing, zoo loving person and I will always love you. Because you were the first person in school who was really nice to me. You talked to me like we were old friends on day one- I will never forget you. Nor your random acts of kindness. Nor the fact that I owe my flower covered bra to you. LOL. I really love you dear one.

13) HAHAHAHAHHA. what can I say? "over the mountains and the seas" you have a rocking cool blog. Isn't it amazing that God brought us together after all these years? *woot* You give the best possible practical advice and bring the most fun into our lives. I will never forget the fact that you KEPT ME AWAKE during camp! lol...talking. I had the most fun with you. love you.

14) My dearest one. My bio buddy. I am grateful to God every single day for your existence in my life. You I know are a faithful praying person. I can entrust my burdens to you and you will cover me in prayer. Love you. Even though we don't spend a lot of time together nowadays. I am totally able to feel God's love from you each time we meet. That's precious. Keep it alive always.

15) neighbour, sister, first real friend outside my class, confidant. God works in such mysterious ways. He threw us together on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. when the two of us dodos were trying to figure our way around. same group somemore! lol. Essential brew, long walks, bus-ing, talking, parties, orientation camp... every single moment I spend with you is cherished. I will miss seeing you every morning.

Oh and complaining. That is something you know. That and corn soup. lol. So pathetic. LOL. In some weird way I'm going to miss GMSS because of the memories it holds of you and the motley crew of prefects/ leaders running around doing stuff for chew and chua. God Bless.

23) hahahaha... I owe you confidence in myself. And the ability to push my limits. You have been the very best "doctor" and gentle shove that anyone could get. You are also one hot dancer. I love you so much.

I'm so glad you're back!

Tag if you read (please!) Or you can do what iain did and posted about me! haha.. ego..lol.. God Bless!

Testify to love

PICTURE POST! hahaha.

In Christ Alone

When I told you to watch this space, you really gotta. I told you I was hoping for my miracle. Sarina can give testimony to the fact that I could barely talk this morning, mel (and the history-geogers) can attest to the fact that I was hacking and coughing away like crazy in the audi during paper. Came home and checked temperature-had a fever. Ugh. Tried to sleep, couldn't, so woke up, bathed, changed and left for school. Amazing things God does. I sang. I sang through the sore throat. I sang through the coughing. I sang tonight at the methodist pastors thing. Miss Ling, Sean and Mr West are my witnesses. ^_^ To God Be The Glory!

Anyway, what do you do when the room lights are still on and you've come home feeling sick and nauseous... haha... blog! I went to Jeri's party after that. It was darn funny, sean came home with us to change-reach by 8.30 huh sean? lol. posting pics of party ASAP. Met hugh, couz, lix (and everybody else) there. Jeri looked gorgeous. Her setting was also gorgeous. ACT 1 is beautiful-especially with the fairy lights on. The food was good as well. I sat with cara, lix, mel, iain, sugi and sean. Then couz came (cue photo)and we chatted outside-laughing at his choice of casual wear. Everyone looked so glam tonight. ^_^ I had a good time jeri! (Kane you are a genius!)

Hmmm... pensive mood. I can tell you that people ain't all what they seem. (speaking of myself too, whenever I type about these things) Like I saw absolute adoration to the point of emasculation, lust, greed, debauchery all around me and it made me reflect- is it worth it? I mean looking at certain people, there are standards that have been set and expected to be upheld. But most of the time, you'll never see those standards reached. [daddy you're right, too high expectations and too harsh on self] That's why I zero-rised my expectations of people. Because they (and myself) let you down too often. I think to a certain extent I was sick because of this realisation as well as having just recovered. Sighs. You're right, nobody's perfect. But as new creatures in christ shouldn't we at least try to be the standard bearer? And... it's all those people that you don't seem to pay much attention to that seem to be able to reach out and touch you about God. "In Christ Alone I place my trust" I think that's a pretty good statement to live by.

Another thing I realised about myself is how unready I am to be involved in a boy-girl relationship, hahaha... seriously. Like I don't think one would succeed now (if you want to try...ROFL) I've been experiencing enough through the lives of my friends around me and nothing's impressed me about puppy love. "Even the best fall down sometimes.." yeah, I've had friends in relationships where I thought would last til they get married-but it's all unpredictable. Nothing's cast in stone unless it's " MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN" lol. so emo. But yeah. I guess we all get moods like this. But it's true, when you get this kind of mood and agree with me, tag ok? I'll be glad to hear from you.

Sighs, shoutout to joel: hope you're ok dude. shoutout to daphne: huggles.

Love to all. esp kristi's ******. He's really very nice, I really like him as a person and keep him close to you! ^_^ God Bless! I am recovering! Yay!

Trust in the Lord

Phew I survived. Barely. Prelims are over-now starts the real work. I have to really put in effort for my As. Have a feeling my prelims are gonna suck real bad. Just read daddy's email to me. I miss him. He's in USA (AHHH!!!) and I was telling him about my tough time with the prelims. Oh well, it's over. SHOUTOUT TO CHRIS: okok...you can email me about the zany ongoings of NZ uni undergrads now. lol. Cafe: we can meet! woot! love you ppl. hmm... see my title? Guess what? I have to live it out today. I just came home from exams where I was coughing and choking like anything. (along with manav and chris blowing nose-thank God for tissue paper boxes) Wrote 8 essays in 3 hours... GEOGRAPHER'S BAR REPRESENT! lol. sheesh. Woke up with no voice. Puked like crazy last night and was thinking of winging Geog paper. I miss the 5 4-lyfers together. Okay, that was random. Anyway, I have to sing tonight. I have to believe in a miracle for my voice to come back. ^_^ But then again, I do believe in miracles and God has never failed me before. Watch this space for an update! lol. I then have jeri's party to rush to. Happy Birthday (party) dear! *mwah* Keep me in prayer bros and sisters! Thank You for all your love and support.

*refer to below

Beautiful- Thank You- Home-Vincent- More Than Words- Torn- I'm all out of love- Kiss Me- Take my photo off the wall- The day you went away-Bad Day-The way you look tonight

Okay, so these were the songs I heard in island creamery today. (YES MIKEY..Island Creamery. I din know they had bandung ice cream with white chocolate chips...yummy) ^_^ anyhoo, studied a n c and GT. urgh. exams-I wish you to be over.

ROFL. so random. EXAMS TOMORROW! ALL THE WAY TIL FRIDAY. sheesh. wun see you guys til then. Pray for me and God Bless ya'll!

Cover The Earth

I tell you. It was like the morning of the living dead. I tried to sleep friday night so that I could go meet hughlyn and ended up not sleeping at all. Advantage-majorly high first 5 minutes of seeing hugh. Major disadvantage: CRASH AND BURN for the rest. It was a miracle I survived church and am blogging now. A miracle. haha. WELCOME B(E)ACK HUGHLYN TAN. Warning to friends: if you ever come back home at such unearthly hours again...I will kill you when you see me. LOL. ok.. it wasn't so bad. we crashed his place-opposite waterside and watched white chicks over a macs breakfast. Natkweemingyi is the most awesome dead log I've ever seen. She is really DEAD to the world. Drishti is a hyper energizer bunny. OMG. My head hurts. The light hurts. I am going to sleep. I salute the rest of the troopers who came today. It was fun. I am tired. Give me a call if anything-hahahaha...just expect a pretty grumpy esther T (represent) on da phone. Shoutout to brie quek and family. Nite.

Follow Me- Uncle Kracker

Hey ya'll! Just got home from a prayer meeting at someone's house. darn tired! First off: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SWETA JAIN (a bit late I knw) and to CHRISTOPHER CHEW YUE HAN! lol. (refer to below pictures-I still am in love with NZ! dun complain ppl, sadly I only have 2 photos with chris, so you'll just have to be content with me reusing photos.)
So anyway, I went to school to study again with nat and drish. This resulted in a weird combination of studies and bad singing. lol. Made a sound clip for kong lam-of the bad singing that is.(follow me...) haha.. then had a short time of rehearsals with sean, miss ling and the string ensemble. Daddy picked me up and we headed off to chatsworth for dinner and time of prayer. so there was my day. ohh...kl likes the soundclip. She posted about it. haaaa.. and nat posted about her. So i'm posting about them. Lol. posting pics of the weird faces we made today. SHOUTOUT TO MY CAFE FAMILY: WE NEED TO MEET UP! Still love you... (4 year anniversary coming up!)

Love love love...to the threesome too ok? pictures are as follows.

ROFL. so that is the chronicles of my day. Yawnz...good night! ohohoh...extract!

Fingerprints of God

Cause Hugh asked me to listen to this song-which he already sent me last year...(in GP class nonetheless) I will post it. T-MINUS 2 DAYS!!!! love all (again) read the post before this.

Fingerprints of God-Steven Curtis Chapman

I can see the tears filling your eyes

And I know where theyre coming from

They're coming from a heart thats broken in two

By what you dont see

The person in the mirror

Doesnt look like the magazine

Oh but when I look at you its clear to me that

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know its true

You're a masterpiece

That all creation quietly applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again

Will there be another you

Fashioned by God's hand

And perfectly planned

To be just who you are

And what he's been creating

Since the first beat of your heart

Is a living breathing priceless work of art and

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know it's true

You're a masterpiece that all creation quietly applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

Just look at you

You're a wonder in the making

Oh and God's not through no

In fact hes just getting started and

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know it's true

You're a masterpiece that all creation quietly

applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

You are covered with the fingerprints of God

Stars are blind (and deaf too)

Hi! ^_^ I'm home from school. hee. Studied in school today with nat. At 3 plus. Lol. INITIAL target time was 10am. Whoo boy. Lol. so anyway was up at 9am, took my morning shower, etc... had breakfast, watched a bit of tv with younger bro. Started on bio and geog. Called sugi for a bit of entertainment- hah. And then waited for pickup. LOL. had lunch at CJ.(thanks alex!!) darnit. Holland V is not good news for my tummy (which resurrected during this exam period...ahhhh) so anyway, wandered back to school to study. Ended at 5.50pm? Yeah and then we backtracked to KATONG LAKSA (mai hum...heehee) to get 2 packets back for family. So I feel accomplished. I did GT today. I laughed, I did geog, bio and lit. ^_^ OHOHOH! today's episode of Justice League was so cool. Bruce Wayne and Terry McGinnis. WOOT. (father-son links-TIED INTO GENETICS!) And I looove chatting to joel and sean. (oh and I saw rafael today! emo guitar dude) They make my day! LOL. Oh, not so high point-tennis coach called me fat (under his breath, I heard) LOL. Dear daphne's reaction "if i had absolute no restraints and there was no law, i might just attack him.. from afar.. to ensure his death or something similar, but since i'm like.. puny sized and not that strong.." ROFL. dun worry, I'm ok. It's my size (and shape) that's allowing me to ROLL on the floor with laughter in the first place, right sugi and joel? hahaha...

But on a serious note: to all the girls who keep cross examining themselves to see if they fit society's version of beautiful, this is for you. PSALM 139: 13-14

"For You have created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

This is the only person's approval you will ever need. [I am telling myself this too- CONSTANTLY.] It's just that encouraging friends (like mine) who tell you you're beautiful no matter what some other people think or that you're made for a purpose, or that you are loved just the way you are... are major pluses. They have made me rethink the way other people think about me...and what I (most important) think about me. This is always an ongoing issue with girls, so guys-please don't tell your girl she's fat or whatever things in your vocab you use. (unmentionables) They are created in the image of God-for God's purposes and timings. Who knows? The unpolished gem you have next to you will one day be a beautiful diamond- don't let it slip away.

I leave you with a beautiful story about the love of God. It explains why we feel "scarred" after going through a trial.

THE SCARS OF LIFE

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore.

His father working in the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could. Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him.

From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go.

A farmer who happened to drive by, heard his screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator. Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father's fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.

The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show her his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because! my Dad wouldn't let go."

You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been there holding on to you.

God loves you. You are a child of God. He wants to protect you and provide for you in every way But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars of His love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go.

Love you all much. God Bless!

Show Me Your Glory

PEOPLE. They populate and propagate. All around you. A lot of them will make you cry. Break your heart, hope to die, fight, scream, shout.... you get the idea. But I will remember the ones that make me laugh, went out of their way to make me smile, went camping with me, taught me life's little important lessons, cried with me, went shopping with me, kept my spirits up, listened to me, talked to me, helped me out... You know who you are. And I'm grateful. Because where would I be-without PEOPLE?

to the penpenny-lol...not sad dear. Typically emo. But more happy emo than sad emo. *mwah*

to mel- I know. And I love you too. Things just do work out in that way-the everything's okay part. *hugs*

to sugi: thank you. you mean a lot to me.

to agamemnon: hah! I wanna be in NZ.. the weather's mighty enticing. ^_^

to iain: laksa! laksa...laksa! :P LOL.

to hughlyn: T-minus 3 days!

to mummy and daddy: I love you.

To Jesus who walked on this earth as a person, in the midst of all the people {and still does so today}: I love you. Without you, where would I have learnt about faith, hope and love?

P.S: Notice how the song in my blog has ended up with testify to love again? It started this way too! Lol. I just like this version better. Thanks to Iain who sent it to me and to shinjuu for hosting it (I AM SOOO NOT CALLING YOU FAT)lol. This version was from the cry-worthy episode of Touched By an Angel.

Love Remains

I'm sitting here and typing. And just crying. Just when I thought that all my hope has died. Really felt low. Just when I was about to give up on everything. ( A lot has been happening) I clicked on a random song search and found this song. I can't believe God is at work in my life again. I don't know how he does it. Nat, read the song lyrics. Omg. Look. I'm really just sitting here crying. Abba Father You know me. "You always let me know everything's okay." Hope this song ministers to you just as much as it has me. Please keep me in prayer. I need God's intervention.

Love Remains-Andy Chrisman

With all the changes in my world

You're still the same

When all my hope has gone away

I still see You

Everywhere around me

In every way I've found

You still remain
All the words that I could say

They're not enough

To tell You just how much I love

How I see You

In everything around me

In every way I've found

Your love remains
You have been my Abba Father

When You've held me in Your arms

The touch of Your hand

The smile on Your face

Always lets me know

Everything's okay
So I will never let one moment go by

That I forget Your gift of grace

Or share the love

You've given in abundance

And pour it out

Till nothing else remains
The day will come when I will take a final breath

And leave behind all that I've known

When all that's left

Are memories of a lifetime

And pictures of a love

That will remain
Cause You have been my Abba Father

When You've held me in Your arms

The touch of Your hand

A smile on Your face

Always lets me know

Everything's okay

Everything's okay

You have been my Abba Father
When there's nothing left to say

No more to do

The hands of time have lost their way

I will find my destiny inside You

Forever in a love that will remain
You have been my Abba Father

When You've held me in Your arms

The touch of Your hand

The smile on Your face

Always lets me know

Always lets me know

Everything's okay

No prevalent song running through my head. "someday we'll know" is a close one (HAPPY EMO KAI!) lol. pen asked me to post her creation as a banner. Can't accept me as a giant blown up thingy yet. Lol...really think I look horrible. She dun think so-that's why she's my friend. ^_^ I'll still post it here though. And I'm tired. Studying is making me feel... ugh.. Welcome to Singapore, welcome to my life.

Remind Me Dear Lord

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,

HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,

SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP

AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,

BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.

SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY."

Dear Lord,

This is my letter to You. I'm sorry for not always listening to Your soft whisper and to Your promptings. I'm sorry for not spending time with You. For not checking in. I need Your help to remember always. And I thank You for everything You've done in my life.

Lotsa Love,

Your beloved daughter, Esther

"Strong Enough"- Stacie Orrico

As I rest against this cold, hard wall

Will you pass me by?

Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?

I had fought so hard and thought

that all my battles had been won

Only to find the war has just begun

Is He not strong enough?

Is He not pure enough?

To break me, pour me out, and start again

Is He not brave enough?

To take one chance on me

Please can I have one chance to start again?

Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime?

Is there anyway to be made whole again?

If I'm healed,renewed, and find forgiveness

find the strength I've never had

Will my scars forever ruin all God's plan?

Is He not strong enough?

Is He not pure enough?

To break me, pour me out, and start again

Is He not brave enough?

To take one chance on me

Please can I have one chance to start again?

He took my life into his hands and it turned it all around

In my most desperate circumstance

It's there I've finally found

That You are strong enough

That You are pure enough

To break me, pour me out and start again

That You are brave enough

To take one chance on me

Oh Thank You for my chance to start again

Be Thou My Vision (Gaelic)

I liked today. It gave me all the right sort of feelings. And even though I slept late and was feeling tired throughout day. Thanks to daphne for song I'm currently listening to. HI GAVIN! haha.. was supposed to meet at HV BK for study group at 11am..guess what? We ended up meeting a full 2 hours later. I woke up at 11 on the dot and had a shower, etc...called iain-din pick up. Lazed around reading for a bit and tried again, he din pick up. So I thought I'd give Sugi a wake up call...he din pick up either (US Opens are harmful to your health ppl-they mess up your natural ability to wake up..lol) so at 11. 45 I called mel and she picked up sounding all sleepy. hee. So we met at 1pm in HV at the Pet Lovers Centre. THE COCKER SPANIEL AND SAMOYED are sooooo cuuuuteee!!! (like my baby pics! lol) Had lunch at food junction with mel, iain and penny before sugi showed up and I started on anti-biotic resistance of bacteria. [can I borrow your egg? ROFL. inside joke] anyway... then we headed to TCC for drinks. [peach me up, mighty joe young, raspberry freeze and oreo milkshake-go match the people to the drinks, lol.] went to church-daddy preached, very good time of worship and a good message on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Then we went to Funan. LOL. That was funny-went to challenger to replace our ink cartridge. HUGH!!! THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE WAS ONE YEAR AGO! WITH YOU! anyway, I tried looking for Life Bookshop to see if there are any other new cds and to see if I could buy a "Luke" gift. lol...but it was closed. awwww... hmm.. anyway, I bought myself a wallet! hee...been spending money on myself lately but it's cause you never hear me EVER doing so. lol. I know. well...all the stuff I got these 2 days were good bargains anyways. then we had dinner and a good time laughing-I love my family.. we laugh a lot and very easily. LOL. Keeps us sane I hear. lol. [or insane if you're watching us] haha... time to sleep now. Good night/morning if you're online at this hour.

Ama Credi E Vai (Because We Believe)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IVAN- cousin dearest! (I wished you yesterday, but I'm publicly doing it here and now) LOL... I had a good day today. Slept late watching Grease, so woke up late. haha.. and then I spent time with mum today-went to Queensway Shopping Centre to photocopy vast amounts of dad's materials...and we walked around-bought two necklaces for sis. ^_^ Had lunch at Anchor Point-JAP FOOD! hee. ohohoh...we happened to walk past a Factory Outlet store and I saw a cute jacket...it was $8-bought that. Headed to town after that. LOL. had fun shopping. But you know I have really good taste-so everything I picked was over our budget. LOL. (some I could wear but others I couldn't, you get the pic la) guess what...now clothes aren't the issue-SHOES are..well, they always have been la. One pair that fit was $79.90 and I thought it wasn't worth it..saving up for prom instead. So anyway, we walked around and talked. And I picked another top that was $89.90...=_=" [but it looked good... ] put that back on the shelf. lol. hmm.. fussy me. so I ended today with the following items:

1. the 2 necklaces I got for sis

2. the green jacket I got for me (hee)

3. 1 black shrug for sis

4. 1 top for me (mum forbids me to wear it unless it's a formal.lol.)

5. one casual black top ($9.90! I loooovvveeee sales!)

Not bad considering that they all added up to be $89.90 which was the price of that one top I liked (still do) ^_^

Came home and rested for a bit, thought through things-one of them days. Then we went to Furama for dinner to celebrate daddy's complete healing. GOOD FOOD. Oh boy, here we go-upping the workout routine to 300 crunches. There went my waistline for tonight. Lol. I get what Iain meant about his "appearing and disappearing six pack" now. hahahaha... THANKS NAT FOR THE PICS! Pennypajamas called me twice today! muackz. erm..let's see, talking to mel and yessie online now. *hugs* [to yessie-*cough*therewasthiscuteguyalso *cough*] ROFL. Gavin's such a gem, out of the blue he just messaged me that he wishes I will enjoy my holidays and that he's glad that he got to know me over these GHK practices. ^_^ God really brings people into your life that encourage you at the right time. [and say the right things] I'm really grateful to God for such people. Thanks Gavin! lol. ohohohoh.. and... don't worry I'll study soft, the hard way's sorta stressing me out too much...ROFL. [omg, GHK ppl are so corny-yarh mel, we are.] Love ya'll, call me/talk/chat with me now if you want-I'm currently in a good mood-take advantage of it. LOL. God Bless (really, he does) and take care!
