goodbye 06

hello everyone.
i suppose this will be the last post of 2006.how sad :( haha. i revived my blog after last year youth camp upon some coaxing. before that i murdered it.yes.haha. and before before that i had a blog, one those not from youth wldnt know about. 2006 has been a really trying year for me. i feel time has passed so quickly, and i'm growing up so fast this year. more duties, more responsibilities, less time, less play, more work. i've gone through so much : sbc, dance night, syf pracitices, ballet exam, classes twice a week, piano, theory, guit, swim meet, china, the recent accident, countless tests, eoys, intense mugging, unhealthy diets, the worst schedules, followup with beryl, new friendships, broken friendships, lost friendships, strengthened friendships, and best of all, i've come to know God much better. the time and quality of time spent with God this year was so much better than the previous. i would like to thank each and everyone of you whom i have interacted with this year, maybe we only spoke once, maybe we're close friends, all of you have played a part in making me the me i am right now.

to some special people :
sam : i really cant thank you enough for our friendship. it was fun knowing you during vbc last year.haha.i really enjoy this friendship. its like.so true. we've had a good share of quarrels, times when we drifted and times when we drifted back. but i suppose that's what makes the quality of friendship even better.thanks for being there for me to talk.i know you'll continue to bring your hc friends to r-age. jia you!(:

jessie : ahh. i really like your style of dressing. even though it revolves around. ahem. your denim skirt and long sleeve tops and your halter bra.LOL. hahaha. it's always nice to hear that you're in cf and you lead devotions in sch and such.it's encouraging(: i hope you've been encouraged by me (x and that you'll encourage others around you as well. it's been great having you around, i know i can share any thoughts on my mind, my feelings with you.even though we're not in the same cell next year, we're still in the same region, so its not that bad. and anyway, our cms want to combine cell.haha so maybe it'll work out(:

amanda : amanda! you're really fun to be around, with all your nonsense, randomstuffs, singing and high-ness. thanks for all that. i know that under all those uh, crap, ahem. there's a spiritual side of you. a side that seeks after the Lord. it's great to have a balance! haha. however, know what to put first yea? and ohoh. dont go for ***, trust me **** is better. at least he's serving. rmb what cx said, find a guy to serve with(x LOL. haha. thanks dear, for touching me.

abby : hey! thanks for being such a great friend, and honestly sharing your stuff with me. i'm always glad when i see you worshipping in church or camps. i pray you'll grow stronger in Christ as the new year comes around, and build good friendships. God bless(:

sharon : i like talking to you. i really like talking to you. it's like, i can just tell you my dreams or hurt, and not be afraid to be laughed at or feel lousy. thanks(: i hope you'll be more consistent in going for cell. i know you love the Lord, i pray you'll love the Lord even more!(:

TOH: thanks for just being you(: for putting up with all my uh. rubbish, especially with the latest one. i'm sure you know which. haha. and i know you dont really mean it evertime you insult me :D LOL. i'm sure. i prefer it when you're nice. but then again, if you're too sweet, it won't be the real you ya. haha. it's not like you to not suan people. anyhow, i hope we'll grow closer next year and i know you'll be a good cm. have fun in ac, and set a good example for your boys. and i realise im in no position to say i can drive:(

lanz : mm i dont know you as well, but really, thanks loads for your advice on that matter. it was a great help. i'm sure you'll be a fine cm next year. you have a fabulous capacity of leadership. use it for His glory. lead the boys, and lead your sister(: and well. don't be so accident prone. i know you beat me hands down getting into accidents but try not to get into so many ya? you dont want to land in hospital (touchwood) haha.

davidchoo : CHOOOOOOOO. your surnames so cute. haha i've only known you for quite a short period of time but i cant tell you have plenty of passion for the Lord. dont run out of passion yes? burn for Him, and spread the passion around! and thanks for putting up with my choo-ing.haha.

nicole : haha sorry for all those times we've teased you about being short! hahahaha. thanks lots for praying for me during rhema. it really touched me(: i pray you'll grow stronger in the coming year, and you'll enjoy school, however much you dislike hw and all(x haha

hoho : thanks for all the help in the homework! haha xD it's nice to see someone so enthu about philo.haha. i hope you'll use apologetics to bring more people to know christ! and you're always such a help to others, you're a blessing, you know? [:

caleb: thanks for all the care, and the guidance. you've helped me through in my spiritual journey. you're always ready to help others, and thats good. however, dont let the things of the world keep you away from God. you drum really well too. use it for the Lord! and teach others to drum as well (x

emelia : haha. i love all the crappy times we've had together. i like your earnest-y. i pray you'll have a desire to want to know God more. dont just be content with being a christian by name k? love Him, love Him with all you've got. and all the best for the ballet exam(: haha

michelle wee: thanks for all the bimbo-ing. haha. it was fun. and thanks for always listening to all my whines. and i'll always be here to listen to your troubles. haha. i like your fire for God. i like the way you seek Him. thanks for always praying for me(: it's been a great encouragement. i hope you'll soon get over apple, and know what God has really prepared for your life. loves(:

happy new year's eve everyone. and God bless.

second time blogging.

i just realised that my posts are rather wordy. haha.
if anyone has got comments about anything about my blog, do feel free to tell me, tagboard or msn's fine.
however, if it's negative, please tell me really really gently, tactfully and diplomatically.
do not upset princess janice or the consequences will definitely be too heavy to bear.
unless you're samuel tan.
i think he's mastered the skill of bearing the consequences.
LOL.
oh yea and whilst making your comments, no vulgarities, please?
vulgarities will be strictly dealt with. way worse than not telling me your ugly comments nicely. let's see. utterers of vulgarities will suffer. well. you'll be judged by God.
and God, if you're reading my blog,
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME! :D
i know you're reading this even as i blog(:

for those who don't know about my Daddy up there and would like to, feel free to tag it. or ask me on msn. i would only be happier than happy to tell you more.

JESUS' MY HERO!

new skkin

this post has been edited.

oh yeah!
i finally got a new skin.haha. i hope it's way easier to read now. i miss the old skin though, it was lovely(:
well went to the driving range today. it turned out i'm not as bad at golf as i thought i would be after not playing for TWO YEARS.haha.

went to malaysia wednesday to thurs. drove a buggy at their golf course and didnt swerve in time at a turn, hit the curb, i thought it would stop then. but no it didnt. the buggy went OVER the curb and went down this uber uber steep slope about five metres down and landed in muddy water. about knee deep only.the ride down was freaky. it was so fast i only saw green(the earth) rushing past me. i guess my hands were on the steering wheel. my mom and sis saw it and screamed. i somehow somehow didnt. i think i was too shocked.i somehow miraculously landed on my feet in the water when we landed. the entire seat cover was thrown out the buggy to the other side of the buggy. camera and water bottle etc etc were floating down the river. everything was retrieved. first thing i did was shout 'I'M OKAY!' after recovering from 5 seconds of shock. i was really so scared and panicking. i mean, janice soon doesnt get into this sort of accidents. well, DIDNT. now i do. really miraculously, i was safe and not much hurt. the lit book i was reading and had put on the seat beside me to drive was on the floor, more or less dry. hp keys and watch were safely on the buggy. everything else flew out. it was really a miracle from God! the song 'how great thou art' kept ringing in my head after that.
it was really hard to climb back up, really really steep. i clutched on to the veins and stuffs on the ground but they all started breaking.but well, i got up in the end.
it was really an encounter with. i dont know. death was possible. i mean, it was entirely God's work that the buggy did not overturn. i was so sure it would once it went over the curb.
thank God, thank God.
i'm fine with a few minor injuries.
three patches of scrapes on my left knee. those are quite bad cos i was limping for some time and it hurt to bend or straighten my knee. i had trouble bathing last night luh. this big gross blood clot under my chin. and the rest of the underneath of my chin is swollen. and one bruise on my right arm, that ones hardly noticable unless i hit it. and this really small cut on my right leg which doesnt really matter.
so overall, i'm fine(:
thank God!
of course, all prayers for speedy recovery of my injuries are welcome :D
and i even managed to go for SYF dance prac this morning! haha i managed to dance like normal on the whole. except for some strains. or some parts i just didnt do it so sharply i guess.

oh yes, and i forgot to mention, in all the panic, shock racing down the slope and lousy driving, the ohsogreat- janice soon, did NOT press the break.
someone scream at me.


I LOVE THE WOLRD :D
sorry, but I LOVE GOD MORE!xD

MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.
i'm sorry i don't feel like blogging about anything.
okay time to tell the funny funny story about the mrt and david. and me of course.
so one fine day ps cuixian asked me to go down to church to help out with rhema ceedeees. so i agreed.and called jessie and elizabeth to go along too. so i took the train there. and it so happened that there was leaders training too. which she was taking. so i was at the train station waiting to board. before i boarded, i turned around and LO AND BEHOLD. it was david choo like two metres away. so we went into the train, turned around and faced the door. he was standing right in front of me. like thirty cm away kindof RIGHT INFRONT. okay so standstand stand. then at this stop more ppl had to get in, so we moved to make space. i stepped back and to the side, he stepped back and to the other side. so we were standing side by side. stand stand stand in silence. i didnt dare to talk to him. haha cos if he doesnt know who i am he'll think im some weirdo? so yeahh we stood in silence and after we got off the train, walked to church in silence. hahaha. turned out he knew who i was and he lives in jurong too.
ohwells.
and i'm PRINCESS JANICE. or so everyone addressed me in christmas cards.
i feel so loved(:

CAMY :DD and christmas party

there are two things which i must absolutely post about right now, even though i'm supposed to be doing chem hw =x
oh and i think the word absolute is duper cool, its just so .. absolute. its like, there. okay nvm. and anyway, that wasnt one of the two things.

oh yes and sam and sheryl tan are in korea right now. (also not one of the two things)

alright, FIRST THING:
we had a christmas party on tuesday, for 1t people only xD (we're elitist) it was a tiff's house. her house is really really nice. like huge. on cluny hill. haha when i asked her for her add she said ** cluny hill (pronounced clue-nee) LOL! okay anyways, her house has like her private swimming pool, jacuzzi, koi fish? , cabanya, foyer/ lobby, home theater system, wine cellar ( with aLOT of expensive wine) and the list goes on and on and on. so we went there, and we sat down and talk talk talk first, then we went to the living room ( which happens to be the only place in the house with OUT a teevee set, and even the kitchen has one so.. yeah) which is next to the pool. so chris changed into her swimsuit and jumped in. only her and bea brought their swimsuit. i was supposed to. tiff and bea told me to but, i guess im growing old. forgot all about it. haha. tiff lent me a swimsuit. she has alot. i borrowed a GREEN one :D the water was freezing cos it was drizzling and yea we didnt really swim much. just talk and talk and talk. then after that bathed then played polar bear. it was quite amusing cos we were eating biscuits so we wanted to keep on eating during the game then the game master ( jess) said we can only eat during the day time. haha. i guess everyone was hungry. then after that we went to eat dinner. it was ham ham ham and tempura. and kebabs? alot of meat. meat balls. and on and on. quite nice. then we went to watch SHE'S THE MAN :DDDD haha bea was going on about how hot channing tatum was. halfway through the show i kept going 'he's so hot!' haha. but jess and chris had not watched it yet so we cldnt reveal the plot to them yet. it was funny as usual. yeps.haha. third time i watched it.
then we went back up to eat tissue prata[: eat eat eat, then we went home(:
it was great, and after finding out that most of my classmates have done less of the hw than me, i feel more assured (x hahahahahaha. oh yes and of course there was gift exchange, and cherry gave all of us candy canes, and chris gave us honey from australia(:
thanks for the party tiff!

thing number TWO:
i, miss janice soon have passed.
I GOT INTO CAMY ! : DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
YAYS, THANK GOD(:
i was like uberly nervous. see, i was talking to kerpal on the phone on monday and telling him about how i asked sam about camy results but she said she cldnt tell me and i had to ask joel tay instead but joel tay wasnt at service somehow so i cldnt ask him. so kerpal helped me sms him on monday night but joel didnt reply. and neither did he on tuesday. so caleb knew about this and last night(wednesday) they had camy rehearsal and so he helped me asked joel and he said i passed. and he also said he saw kerpals msg but didnt reply. blehs~

okay that's all. i think i seriously have to go do chem now. and i have to bake coooookies soon. LALALA.
MY GOD IS GOOD, all THE TIME, RAIN OR SHINE!

rhema!

hello people i'm back from rhema and my blog's dying.
i think the intro of 'our God is an awesome God' is like a peace giver, even though it's in the minor key. its just so heartening [: and indeed, our God is awesome! actually, God is better than awesome, He's indescribable. which brings me back to a conversation i had with caleb some time ago. it was on msn and we were just talking and got to the song, indescribable. and after sharing some stuffs, each 'stuff' we shared brought us back to the fact that God truly is indescribable.

alright so rhema.
rhema was good. the everyday's events were mostly devotions, breakfast, morning worship, rhema workshops, lunch, rhema rush(which i didnt go for), dinner, night service. sleep.
so the psixes and sec ones cld stay overnight, and the sec one cms too. we had games apart from all the other stuff, which the sec twos and above did not get. what i enjoyed most about rhema was the worship. i think the worship was really really good. the bands were like full and big everynight. 3-4 vocalists, 1-2 keyboardists, acoustic, electric, bass, drums. that makes ten people on stage? wow. worship was long, and great. i believe many people had fresh encounters with God during worship. the guest speaker monty hipp was funny. i think he has a thing for telling stories xD honestly i feel rhema wasnt as good as upward bound. i think the sec twos and above didnt get in a sense 'enough'. they didnt get anywhere as much as what we received in upward bound, they didnt get as much as us during rhema. yea so i feel they've been under-given? which i feel isnt really fair to them but the conference as has been explained to me is directed at psixes at sec ones so 'naturally' we get more and they get less. sigh. then i'll probably feel malnourished next year? hope not.
anyways, cliqued with jessie abby and gladys during the whole camp mostly. and sometimes gabrielle wai joined us, or we went with psixes. anyways, i love the new batch of psixes. glad tht i knew most of them before camp, so it was much easier to connect with them during the camp.and we bought the black princess shirt.
royalty is so cool.
everyone, listen up! JANICE IS ROYALTY :DDDD 1 peter 2:9 says for we have called to be a blahblahblah, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD! so right, if we're a royal priesthood, if God is a King, if God is my Father, that makes me a princess! YAYNESS. ( dont i sound like amanda?)
i know this reasoning sounds warped, but see nownow, i shall be addressed as princess janice.
yea, in my dreams perhaps (x

went out with amanda nicole phuisee alex debs tiff eunice today. we went to fareast. we brought the psixes to the chicken rice stall! haha. and we ate and ate and ate. glad i talked to amanda today. we havent talked like one to one for 10 mins straight for a few weeks now.
BTW AMANDA, JUST GIVE *** UP AND GO FOR ****. wo zhi chi ni! and so will nicole luh! :D
and we brought tiff and eunice to the turkish icecream. super super funny. we made tiff go first! hahaha. then went shopping. i brought nicole and amanda to the shop from which they needed to buy lanz's christmas present from. the p sixes were like giving us that 'look'. hahahhahaa. so they went off to walk first while we stood there laughing laughing laughing. it was hilarious luhh. then it was time for all of us to go home after walking more and more. everyone took mrt but i stayed at fareast cos i realised the rest of my family went there afterwards too.
so they made me walk around myself cos they were buying christmas present for me i think. my sister. i felt so loner luh.grah.haha. but i felt so glam wearing what i wore today.with my hair and earrings and shoes and nicenice nails and all.hahahahaha. sry, jan is vain-ing! for those who dont know, my toenails are painted black and my fingernails are painted white(with white nail polish, not liquid paper for nuts sake) on the outer part. you know the part the grows long, above where the blood is. the part that sticks out. yeahh.haha.
and and i suddenly felt like going to this shop but i cldnt find it cos its like those shops upstairs thats super behind and super hard to find so i spent like half an hr finding it and i was super satisfied when i found it cos i rmbed that shop and i think theres smth in there i can get for jtoh for christmas which will be just perfect for him. but first, i shall go check if hes getting me anything. cos that thing is quite ex. haha.

oh and yesterday michelle and i went to UCC to watch 'Jesus take the wheel' some christmas musical by Queenstown Baptist church. suaty(my classmate) was performing and she gave me free tickets! (fifty bucks each!) yeahh so we went to watch michelle convinced me to wear a long skirt. third time im wearing the (same) long skirt in public.haha.the musical was not bad. michelle gave me a mini tiara from hong kong.its really really sweet. but i dont know when i can wear it.haha. i mean no one wears a tiara to church, and not even to wedding dinners. sigh. maybe on my wedding day luh.hahaha.i bought her a flower but i left it in the car. then i wanted to give them (i bought two) to church ppl today but i only realised that i forgot when i got home just now.haha. i put them in a vase and they're blooming really really really beautifully now(:
i bought a pinkish-red rose and a white one.i like white roses(: but i have no idea what they signify.haha.

oh yes and i dont think i'll ever transfer my china reflections onto here.oh wells.haha.
and i bought quite alot of christmas presents alr, there're plenty in my room. but none have been wrapped.but i havent bought for sam and abby and emelia and like almost all of my close friends. except for jessie and michelle and sharon.haha.

i love receiving, really! i guess i have to learn to love to give now.

and anyways, i've starting writing the actual xiaoshuo. i'm so pleased with myself! haha.

when, oh when, am i changing blogskin?

GRAH. thats it for now.

toodles(:

mixed feelings

whoa.
i've been lazy to blog in a really really long time (x
lots and lots of things happen and i tell myself i want to blog about this and this later but i somehow never get round to doing it.bleh.i like this place as its a platform for me to voice out anything i want, and talk the daylights out of myself. but i more than half the time im lazy to blog and also, there are quite some stuffs which im not comfortable with to post it in such a open place.afterall, anyone can access it and if i want to get emo or show my weak side or breakdown, i can't exactly do it here. washing dirty linen in public.

i read sam's blog just now and realised that he analysed his character at some point. and i was thinking just now and started to 'analyse' myself too. i've discovered that at times i dislike being around alot of new people, despite being seemingly so overly loud, outspoken and scarily friendly. seriously. and i think i know why. when all the 'new' people know each other and i dont know anyone of them say maybe two or three 'old' people who all know the 'new', i'm not in control. i like to be in control of things, of what happens to me. i dont like to just 'let nature take its course' . i want to steer it.
which sometimes, of course, is not possible. and this stubborn dominant character of mine is a possible roadblock in my relationship with God. because i have to let God take control.

i dont feel like completing that subject >.< i want to change subject.haha. when i got to the control part, i thought of the perfect and permissive will, which lead my thoughts to brother david's lesson.

two [thousand] long long years ago, long before all your times, there lived a girl in singapore, in the province of jurong, a girl named janice.
sorry. lousy imitation of moses lim. i have failed as a comedian. i have no intention of being one anyway.haha. oh just curious.
DOES ANYONE OUT THERE IN THE HUGE WIDE WORLD THINK IM FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING?

okay so two years ago, when i was in children's church, one of my two wonderful sunday school/children's church teachers was brother (doctor)(professor!) david. (he's actually eunice, the sec one cm's daddy! xP) so there was one particular lesson he taught one particular sunday that i remember veryvery clearly up to this day. i think it was a good lesson. the catch line was
