Can you believe it !?

I missed three buses today when i was on my way to school. First, came 184, 154 and 52. I don't understand why the sudden crowd, i just couldn't get onto the bus! Managed to get onto the fourth bus. Thankfully. And i saw my "enemy" from OG1, who is also taking the night bridging class..

Anyhow, had a sudden craving for macdonalds'. I seriously wonder why.. I haven't had my dinner anyway so i decided that i wanna call for mac at about 11plus, and the operator told me over the phone that it would take about 1hr 15 mins to arrive.

1 hr 15 minutes!! That's an uber long time can. I'm so hungry and craving for the fries already.. And sadly, the macdonalds at Clementi Central closed down already, and the nearest Macs would be either KAP or at West Coast. So i decided to drive out to get my dinner/supper. haha. the crazy thing to do. Am glad that there's something called Drive-thru so i didnt have to get out of the car..

today's so boring. i wanna go wakeboarding!

what why what ... !

Exams are coming soon. Will start studying like really soooooon. Trying to start the engine.. hmm..
I think OG2's the best OG ever. Like we're organising activities like .. joining the SMRT challenge, having mj sessions, bowling, gg johor for seafood? Haha! I totally dig it. It's so fun coming home everyday to check your mails now, something will be there. Seems like we've changed from mass conversations to sending emails. Amusing. =)

Anyway, went to Ben's place for his Bday celebration. The big boy is turning 21. Though not the actual day... but HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, BEN!

I love the balloons ...

The lightings made the ambience so cool...

With the bday boy ...

Doing a makeover for him ....

and it resulted in this. (Doesnt it remind you of the joker in dark knight? heh)

Big baby needs his milk! (erm, red wine you mean?)

Drinking gleefully. (Like real!)

Good boy finished his "milk".

and that's about it.. i'm so sure he must be so drunk at the end of the day. haha.

OG 2 outing on tuesday was great !

was supposed to be OG 2's outing, but somehow we've more people joining us. But its alright. Still fun anyhow... hurhur.

We met at 7pm at Clarke Quay Station ...

Santono (aka Ms ubin)

On our way to Waraku .. !
They must have felt so happy/overloaded with work. because apparently, we've booked seats for 20 people but because there's also other ogs joining in.. so we need more than 20 seats. Plus, that day was the SRC bash so there's also the SRC gang too.

The restaurant's quite full. and Noisy, with our presence. Odac took up a row of almost 10 tables, while SRC took up another row of .. i dont know how many tables.

With some of the seniors...

Oh, and ... and ... ! Guess what?! I saw keelin.. he's working at the branch that we went to... ! So... after our meal, and we were really full by then, he served us desserts to share ! I didn't take the drink he gave us though. but it's really nice...

Girls in the toilet, as usual.

OG 2 with seniors.

Headed over to Brewerkz while some of them went to butter factory for the SRC bash. Ordered four towers.. and played games...

and we have Santono (Ms Ubin) with his punishment. Bottoms up!

after brewerkz, some of us went over to Rocher for beancurd. hurhur.. and i saw Christina! SMU's having their orientation camp and they took turns to go for beancurd. heh.

i'm back from camp at ubin! It's totally fun, and i didn't regret going for it.

Initially was all nervous cos i'm going there alone without knowing anyone .. but so glad that my OG's such a bunch of lovely people. We're known to the other OGs as the quietest OG on the first day, but we've emerged the top OG at the end of the camp.

and each of us got a bottle of perfume/cologne as the prize for that.

OG 2!

i saw this somewhere and thought that i'd share this ...

Years ago I asked God to send me a wife, for the Bible says “you have not because you ask not“. I told the Lord not just that I wanted a wife but even explained to him the kind of wife I was looking for.

I told him I wanted someone who is kind, tender, gentle, compassionate, loving, sincere, peaceful, generous, affectionate, understanding, passionate, warm, intelligent, humorous, sensual, and trustful. I even mentioned things I wanted her to be physically. And as time passed, I would add more things to this list of my heart desire for a wife.

Then one night in prayer God spoke to my heart and said... “Son I can not give you what you've asked me for.“ I said, “Why not Lord?“ He replied, “For I am a just God and a God of righteousness and all I do is just and right.“ I said, “Lord, I don't understand why I cannot have what I have asked you for.“

He replied, “Then I will explain. It would not be just and right for me to grant to you your wish for I cannot give unto you something that you are not yourself. It would not be fair for me to grant unto you a person that is loving if you can sometimes be hateful, or someone that is kind if you can also be mean, someone that is a forgiver and yet you can still carry a grudge, someone that is sensitive and you are yet so insensitive... etc.

He said unto me, “Instead of wasting time trying to find someone or hoping that I will give you someone with all these qualities you seek, you should rather allow me to take this time to allow you to become all it is that you are looking for. For I cannot give to you that which you are not.“

“And if you allow me to work up on your spirit and to shape and mold your heart as I choose then when you see the one I have for you, you will be able to say like Adam said... “She is bone of my bone and she is flesh of my flesh“ for you will see yourself in her for you both will be one flesh.“

Keep this in mind.
This is for all:
the recently married;
the ones who have been married;
the soon to get married;
and the ones that are still looking.

God made woman from man's rib --
not from his head to top him,
nor from his feet to be walked upon;
but from his side to be his partner in life,
from under his arm to be protected by him,
and from near his heart to be loved by him.

Whether or not you believe in God, much of the above still applies.

If you recall, my 3 years in poly was .. as plain as water, save for some activities i joined to make poly life more interesting.

So today, i was supposed to go for orientation but i didn't. Heard from someone else yesterday who attended the orientation, its just all about ice breakers and all. haha. Woke up at about 1plus and decided that i'll make a trip down to SIM to take a look at the CCAs available.

Just wanted to see what each cca offers. Was deciding between Windsurfing and ODAC but ended up, i joined ODAC. although it isnt a very commitment-requiring cca. Signed up for their orientation camp at Pulau Ubin. Saw the packing list..

1.5 litre water bottles, track shoes, sleeping back, insect repellant ... etc etc. It all seemed so familiar yet all so strange. Used to love all these outdoor stuffs when i was in sec school.. girlguides camp, outdoor activities blah blah. I feel so out of touch suddenly, with the outdoors. LOL.

I don't want my next two years to be boring. Hopefully, it's where i'll enjoy myself the most. * hopes...*

Oh sheesh.

I've been putting on the calories. I have indeed lived by my own philosophy of eating first, decide later. Yet, i have not been living out the other philosophy of as long as i exercise, i still can eat what i like to eat.

The reason? I realised from the pictures that i've grown horizontally. You may say that "ah no la, you so thin can afford to be fat" Oh but no, it doesn't work exactly this way. I might even have to up a size when buying clothes! ha. just kidding, i have YET to. (:

To further prove this, i met up with my once-in-a-while meetup friend for my dinner/supper after class.

Friend: Eh seriously, i think you have grown fatter.
Me: * shocked over that sentence, despite the fact that i already know it * mm ya la! have been eating alot..

actually i really didn't mind hearing that from my friend's mouth. At least it's the truth luhh. And it's a known fact to me. People who see me often could probably not tell, less observant to it but ... It's such a terrible fact.

I need to get on my feet, and get my butt out onto that track! Which reminds me of this time Nat and i were supposed to go jogging. She didn't want to run the usual route which is by the canal, while i wanted to. We played three rounds of scissors paper stone, and i lost. So we are going to run along the pavements by the road.

I suggested this route, from clementi round SP and back. Well, we completed the journey, and taking twice the time we should have took because we literally walked the entire journey.

With respect to an entirely different matter, Special thanks to Denny! Because he listened/read my grandma story.. =D I think i just needed somewhere to rant.. At least now i kind of feel that the stone's been lifted up in my heart.. I know there's still the wonderful and fun-filled uni days ahead of me. No worries, no worries...
