HELLO! hahha. i have finally returned from the land of procrastination when it comes to blogging. and honestly, i'm not ascertain to how long this may prolong or even if this cuts even shorter!:D normally i'd have pictures and funny tales to tell but i'm just so tired today!:)
happily tired. *GRINS*
but i'd like to just mention a few people who are important in my life! *a long long list to go, maybe next time!* HAHAHAHA.
have you ever wondered how some people can be so perfect?:) they seem to have everything you ever wanted , the looks, the character, the family and all. sometimes, what we do not know is, THEY do envy us too. there are things they hope they got from us. there are things they want. dreams untapped, hopes unfulfilled, like how the dark skies longs for the stars. what i'm trying to say is, the grass is always greener on the other side. so perhaps it's good to start shifting your thoughts from "wow, how i wish..." to "wow, i'm so happy i have..." you get my point. :)
lastly, i'd like to say, THANK YOU GOD for giving me such a pleasant journey! i just love my friends so much, my heart's so full of joy. :) i cou;dn't ask for more!haha.
SWEETEST DREAMS DEAR READERS! love you all! 1:40 AM // Out of the darkness and into the sun
i actually want to go back in time.
If only I could turn back time If only I had said what I still hide If only I could turn back time I would stay for the night.
when you're sick, things get a little nastier.

one thing i do.
" Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting these things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." Philipians 3:13
making informed choices. choices are based on our values, we can only make clear choices when we have strong/clear values isn't it?
the example was explained using a comparison. would you take $5 or $10? $1 mil or $10k? the choice is quite obvious to many of us. moving on... would you take AUS 10 or US 10? AUS 10 or SG10? okay, this was slightly tougher but still manageable, moving on... so now we see as the values get less clear, it is harder for us to make obvious choices isn't it?
let's say today you receive a million bucks, and the price is to never sing the praises of God ever again. would you take it? honestly would you? in life, there are many ill-managed choices we've managed to not think about [ or to bury deep in our hearts ] because we know it's not morally right to make such choices. but today let us post a challenge to ourselves, bring it up, and face it. make the right and informed choice.
our choice makes up our destiny. we have the power to change. God will be the pillar of strength we'll ever need. 11:35 PM // Out of the darkness and into the sun
it was a really cool class gathering! :D
okay so after lamenting over the topic that I HAVE BEEN SO BORED, i finally got to spend time with my awesome friends! :D
so it was a really... unexpected night. the string of events that happened were not pre-planned or anything so it came kinda hard on me. truly, it was. but then yue wen and jenny were really sweet, they were there for me while we idly also waited upon YAPYAP's arrival! gosh i tell you, yue wen jenny and i seemed so like his fanclub leh! :( we're like his groupies, his entourage. how how! fortunately his mummy didn't think we were in love with him! so.. gerold suffered during those 14 days of his stay in taiwan! tough life! glad he came back safely! you know i'm really proud of myself -- being able to spot YAPYAP whose amongst the vast crowds of... ARMY GUYS! the satisfaction comes from, i could tell it was him first even though, they all hard the same hairstyle and similar built! :D gosh, good eyesight ;)
then there was a 4r3 class gathering yesterday! pretty awesome! so the whole group of us [about 20 people] had some really great catchup session at bugis fish n co! everyone's pretty much the same old self in terms of personality but oh boy, everyone sure gets better looking everytime i see them! :D and then like half or more of the cohort of guys there are like "little-short-haired". i was really touched that we were still able to have a gathering even though we haven't had one for like a couple of years! AND OH YES, I SAW MR CHENG LEH! HAHAA. he forgot my name! he was like,"ALICIA?MELISSA?" okok, at least you got that 3 syllabus thingy right!
ok, so after that we headed over to YAPYAP's place where he steadily fell asleep and i was super commisioned to wake him up cos i wanna go home and sleep! so i did like a whole lot of stupid stuff to him like stuffing tissues into his nostrils, tickling his toes, plucking his hair, pulling his ears. shaking his bed and yelling [rather softly] "EARTHQUAKE!" this truly sparked off yue wen and jenny's series of unfortunate events while gerold was sleeping! =x
i took a really good rest and i got home. i kept popping the panadol while i was out. great rest. home sweet home.
and i've really like to thank gerold yue wen and jenny for being there. :) for me. 10:17 PM // Out of the darkness and into the sun

I was watching star world just now and i stumbled upon this really cool/cute advert for Fathers' Day!:) so i tried searching for it online, hoping to upload it onto my blog to share with the world wide web. and as i was doing so, i found this really cute advert for FD also!
gosh, this is so hilarious. the ads in the wrong places! had a fun time looking thru various funny webpages!
this is such a beautiful accident that i stumbled upon such interesting web feeds for my joy and laughter!
to top it off, one last one. have you ever wondered about your computer's gender? look what the panel of experts have got to say!:D
Computer Gender Joke
A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
''House'' for instance, is feminine: ''la casa.'' ''Pencil,'' however, is masculine: "el lapiz.''
A student asked, ''What gender is 'computer'?'' Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether ''computer'' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender (''la computadora''), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (''el computador''), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

samsung omnia! :)
i just bought a new phone, namely SAMSUNG OMNIA! :D:D yes i bought it! though i borrowed from mummy first.
it looks so pretty. gosh. it's really pretty. it's the red one. i didn't choose the black one because i thought i wanted another colour for a change though the black one exudes elegance. i prefer hippy and playful red. it makes me feel...young! HAHAHA! :D
i finally did the presentation in front of my dear parents, with many help from my friend! it feels good/cool and fun somehow. my parents gave me certain feedback, honest and helpful in building me up. :) thanks for taking the time to watch the demo.
and after so long, i'm starting to miss my long hair days. i think i look less funny with it. GOSH. HAIR PLEASE GROW, GROWTH IS GOOD. i really have no measure of how long my hair takes to grow back to the 'long hair' length and i'm looking forward to it. maybe when it grows to become long once again, i will decide to go for a refreshing new trend and snip it off all over. hahah!
