updates on my ohsoexciting life.

hellohellohellohellohellohello.
aiya, blogging is so tiresome. blah.
okay wed was fine dining/personal grooming workshop. i don't want to talk about it. i've told most people about it already anyway. but if you don't know and are interested, ask me. i'd be glad to tell you. just don't want to type everything down here.

mm friday was ms kon's farewell. so sad!
she's like. the most amazing principal i've ever known. okay i've only known three in my life before. but really, she is the utter embodiment of protocol and decorum and she carries herself with such grace and dignity and she's really a woman of God who practices godliness, excellence and love. and she speaks well too(: she is one amazing woman. really. its been a great two years with her. and she's served the school so well the last thirty years.
so anyway, we sang the full school song for her farewell. most people sang (normally only 2/5 the sch sings). i'm so proud of ms kon. and during assembly we were only supposed to sing the first verse as usual but the PA people played the full song version so halfway through the second verse they cut of the song. but most of us still continued singing anyway. i was so happy to hear everyone sing.
and jess was like. looking at me every two minutes waiting for me to cry -.- cause on thursday we watched this hongkong show which was soooo sad. even though there were many horny moments but the storyline is very sad. but the directing is super lousy. and every two minutes she would go 'this show is so spastic' and i would be down there crying. haha.
yeah so anyway we watched this video too on friday during the crime prevention talk and it was about this girl who went to jail and then while she's in jail eating her bread for breakfast there was a flashback on how her mother would buy her beehoon from the market every morning and she would complain about how she had to eat the same food everyday. and i started crying at that part too. i mean. its soo sad.
and then jess went' janice! why are you crying!' and made everyone turn around and stare at me =x
ahh. haha okay nvm.

played this weekend. amanda led us this week though. same team, diff WL.
we did shout of the king. i love love love love love that song! its so. cool. groovy. its like. okay i don't know how to describe it. haha.
anyway, it was fun playing this weekend. i learnt alot on my own playing this week actually.

and we had camy dg today.
went downstairs for chicken rice lunch. then we set off to clean lvl three hall and chapel. we were divded into two groups and the bigger group (2/3) cleaned the chapel cause it was bigger. i was at lvl three hall. so we swept, mopped, cleaned all the chairs, glass windows they keyboards, the stands, the pulpit, and samantha even cleaned the toilet. it was a good experience(: haha. joel was trying to teach us the concept of 'leading by serving'. pretty good way to bring the msg across i'd say. haha(:
then.
the camy exco washed our feet. wow. haha. felt a little embarrassed (did i spell that correctly?) having hann wash my feet =x haha. then after that he prayed for me. cool. haha.
yeah then went home.

going back to sch next week on mon wed and thurs to teach mainstream girls math. haha. think i'll learn smth from that.

(:

DONE.
that was long.
was going through this old book of old christian songs last night. i love all the old songs. i love old songs! i wish we still sang them. i mean they are all so super nice.
like 'i've got a home in gloryland (that outshines the sun) and walking in the light (walking with Jesus walking everyday, walking all the way) and 'His love is warmer' and soooo many more. all so beautiful. and forgotten unfortunately. even. 'give me oil in my lamp' 'the sweetest name of all'
soooo beautiful. wish we sang them before. these songs are so pure, so true so direct. they just openly declare God's love and all. contemporary christian songs are great too, don't get me wrong but i just wish sometimes we'd stick to what was old. old doesn't always have to be replaced by new. sigh.

His love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
softer than a sigh
His love is deeper than the deepest ocean
higher than the skies
His love is brighter than the brightest stars that shine everynight above
and there is nothing in this world that can ever change His love.

love that song.
okay a few things i want to share.
1. my results are horrible. beyond horrible actually. i'm so dissapointed in myself. and history. and my results. GRAH.
2. i was eating dinner the other day and talking to God, just kinda having a conversation and it suddenly struck me i was talking to a King and its so wonderful we can talk to Him like that and even sit and eat in the presence of a King. and not just any other king for that matter. truly, God as torn the veil seperating us from the Holy of Holies when Christ died. how wonderful it is(:
3.my week.
from sunday.
went to artfriend and got stuff with jessie. for christmas. hahaha. yes we already planned everything when we went out last week.
then had dinner with tiff and kenneth. and conclusion : i'm nice and kenneth is mean.no kidding(:
monday. went to east coast park class outing. pretty fun. i got a tan in the front. not at the back though. cause i was sharing a tandon bike with amanda and she sat behind and blocked out all the sun(my reasoning)
then went to amanda's house. all six of us :D watched half of freaky friday, went swimming. played games, dunked each other. played monkey for quite awhile. it was really fun(:
tuesday wed thurs: get back results. lets not talk about it.
friday. inter class soccer. some classes didn't really play fair. but ohwell. we know two tee played with honour and integrity and we played well and would have won if not for. oh nevermind.
then we watched the mayoh challenge shield debate. and when the floor was open while the judges were deciding the results i somehow got the nerve to stand up and say my piece. haha.
see right, the motion statement was : men are the weakest link in singapore's defence.
the proposition's third speaker, a sec one sbc girl, and quite an embarressment if you ask me, was a very weak speaker and presented a case brimming with fallacies.
she said. women are amiable. just take a look around you (in mg) if you don't believe me.
that is total rubbish. i mean personally while i agree that some are, many arent. besides. many guys are amiable too.
that statement on women being amiable is firstly a personal opinion. secondly, it is A GENERALISATION, OVERGENERALISATION, AND ASSUMPTION. built on what? baseless and a mindless mind. no empirical evidence. the example of mgs girls is not evidence. first of all, who says all mg girls are amiable? thats an opinion. secondly, you can't say that because there are no guys in mg so how do you know guys are not more amiable than girls.
then she gave some stupid answer which i can't rmb. then i stood up again and said.
'in what way does this play a part in singapore's defence?'
and anyway, women playing a part in singapores defence DOES NOT SHOW THAT MEN ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. argh. rubbish. fallacious.
anyway i'm glad i stood up. many thanks to all the two tee girls sitting front back left and right of me who encouraged me to stand up and say it. i mean i don't have that much guts cos its in front of the whole sch. and i'm an sbc girl, which means i have to be very careful about what i say in front of the sch. but anyway in the end i couldnt take it so i said it. and as my classmates say, its a once in a lifetime experience(:

over.

over.
over.
it's over.

OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER

you have no idea how free i feel. in fact, i feel almost too free.

ended with hcl listening compre (which i think(i hope) i managed to get a perfect score on(sorry it sounds so ego=x). it was pretty easy. and then hcl paper two.
i'm certain. we all are, that laoshi didnt want us to fail so she gave us this compreclose that is way below her standard. haha probably because we fail all her tests.
then
OH MAN I DIDN'T FINISH THE STUPID PAPER.
last qn was THIRTEEN MARKS. THIRTEENMARKS!
but i was left with a bit of the last qn.
probably got three marks gone. if not two. depends on her marking scheme.
SO PISSED. PISSED.
ahhhh.

okay anyway yay. exams ended. i feel so free. no more late night studying, cramming during breaks, mugging, mugging and mugging.

so we, like eleven of us went to marina square jacks place and then ate ate ate. super filling. and super nice. then seven of us watched balls of fury.
ITS THE MOST FUNNY+ LAME SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN.
seriously, its stupid. but super super super super super funny.haha.

then walked around alot alot alot with cherry. we took so long to get to certain shops we wanted to go to cos we kept stopping along the way. getting home was hard to cos we would go 'ooohh i wanna go in there' and then take super long so we ended up in the mrt at almost seven crammed with all the working people. and it was CITY HALL MRT. ohdear. anyway. we went to diva and bought ourselves stuff. hahaha. and we bought bea's and sam's christmas present too.
oh and i met sam on the bus on the way to marina. and just listened to him 'insult' me the whole way till he got off.so much for meeting him.

anyway, i love diva. diva rocks. and sasa tooo! and we took super long to go to dorothy perkins. at least half an hr. cos we kept walking into shops, and we couldnt really find it anyway. ohoh and we passed by han's and i saw that the apple crumble pie was only TWO DOLLARS. TWO DOLLARS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. yeah so we sat down and had one slice each. i mean, at keppel (country club) its 6.80 -.- haha. at anderson's its 5.20 i think.
anyway, i need to get over my cake craze. but i don't want to. I LOVE CAKE. CAKES ARE THE BEST EVER.
anyway, one of the greatest joy's in life, is eating. no doubt about that.
haha.

oh i had lots cake last friday. cos cher told me on the way home that cafe cartel sold cakes at half price after nine o clock EVERY DAY. and when i got home i realised that there was a cafecartel at the new extended part of IMM so i made my parents drive me there(and pay for the cake) and i got jamica banna rum (which is delicious. just melts in your mouth) and oreo cheesecake (i finished most of that myself) actually i finished like 4/5 of the cake we bought. LOL. well it was my idea and i was the one interested in cake. and tiramisu (ate the whole thing myself)
ALL THE FATS.
hahahahahahahah.

okay i have two announcements(:
1. I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO CUT MY HAIR.
partly cos of the comments that everyone so nicely and generously gave on my tagboard(thanks guys, now i know people actually read my blog.haha.) and also because i spent time thinking during assembly. about my hair. yes about my hair. haha.
anyway i decided it would be a waste to cut it after growing it long since may. and oh well. i'll just go layer my hair during the hols. thats all. and the next time i get a major haircut change will be after april 2008. well thats a long time. haha.

okay two.
our dearly beloved principal of mgs of 14 years, ms kon mei leen, is retiring. it's official.
AHHH.
i can't believe it.
she's been with mg for 30 years. taught hear before she became principal. she is an incredible representative of mg! she's the utter embodiment of protocol and decorum. i can't imagine what mg would be like if not for her. and really, she's one amazing woman. and she speaks well too. very very well.
the new principal will be the current principal of bukitpanjang govt high, mrs shirleen ong. she used to teach in mg in the early 1990s. she'd better speak well. anyone in mg would know that the girls cant take a principal who can't speak well. we have a living vp example.
ohwell, enough of that.

i cancelled plans to go out today because my mum told me i was too vain and i shldnt be doing my eyebrows, and i had also planned on getting a haircut today. but since im not, so i decided not to do my eyebrows today. so i'm staying at home, and am superly bored.

WHOOOHOOOO.
HELLO EVERYONE.
haven't blogged in a SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER long time. i think i'm a little high right now. i wonder why. i think this is going to be a long blog post. so be prepared to read it(: haha.

okay first things first. papers so far have been. alright lah. i'm watching fu man ren jian now. wok of life. this super old channel eight show. like five to ten years ago. haha. its really nice. first week im watching it on sat though. bea reccomended it to me.haha. and we've been discussing the nine o clock chinese show every day. its so nice! hahaha. a must-watch.

my eyes have been opened today(: spread out this big world map on the floor cos i was looking for smth. and i realised that the world is huge. really really big. there are so many million countries i've never even heard of before. and that hawaii and company arent the only islands in the middle of the pacific. there are SOOOO many islands there. like groups and scatters of islands that form countries like federation of micronesia, or kiributri. or smth like that. haha. very very very interesting. and so many other ountries in south america i've never heard of. and i just realised that russia is HUGE. i mean i always knew it was big but now i realise how amazingly huge it is. and there's like kazakhstan which is so big too. never realised it was THAT big. and now china suddenly looks puny. and i can't wait to get to iceland. i want to travel! but not to countries like uk and italy and paris and those countries everyone dreams of. i mean i do want to go there. but i want to see places. like angola. like iceland. i seriously want to go to iceland. i imagine it to be a beautiful and wonderful place. i mean, its isolated. their blood's very pure you know? hardly mixed with other countries'. and then it occurs to me that there are so many types of people, so many cultures i have yet to see. i wonder what they all live like. and greenland is just the english version of this word. like some weird language. i dont even know what the speak. i suddenly feel so insular. and then there are SOOO many other types of dance yet to be danced. i really really want to explore these cultures. they're so. i dont know they draw me(:
God must be a wonderful God. to create things like that. the world is so diverse. now i feel like i live under a rock. haha.

and God is as gracious God. last sunday i was crying and sad-ing and thank God for someone to talk to me and give me confidence again and i just thank God for friends. friends who love me, friends whom i love, friends who care, friends who know me, friends who think they know me, friends who are true, friends who are 'friends', friends forgotten, friends drifted. or even friends turned strangers. i thank God for friends. i thank God for people. people are the most complicated yet awesome creatures.

think about your sight. don't you think being able to see is awesome? probably not. not many realise how wonderfully and fearfully we were made. don't you think it amazing, that we are able see. somehow. with just two small thingies in our face and somehow we can capture images and somehow we are able to see. i don't know how to explain it. but sight is just so amazing. i'm dumbfounded. hearing, touch, smell, taste. it's simply amazing. don't you think God is amazing?

oh right back to my last weekend's sad stuff. so over the next few days several 'messages' came to me.
'God has a plan for me. everything that happens is part of His plan'
'His grace is sufficient'
'He that is in me is greater than He that is in the world'
'He holds my future.'

and really, God is in control. why worry?(:

one last thing.
i would like to uhh. open this up for debate. haha.
'SHOULD I CUT MY HAIR?'
short. i mean short. like above shoulder. like uhhh. amanda ong from church. smth like that. but a little different.should i should i? please comment! i want i want! haha but i'm not sure if i should. like i like my long hair. and yesterday i was like asking half the class. alot of people said my hair's nice the way it is:D haha. some people say cut. if you want tocut, cut. i want to, but i'm afraid i'll regret it. and i like my hair like this. but i also wouldnt mind changing my hairstyle.
PLEASE COMMENT:D
