Many people enter our lives for a reason. Some people come, some people go. your best mates at pre-school will probably be the most unfamiliar strangers in a couple of years' time. So many people step in & out of our lives. sometimes i wunder, whu will really stay?? n who will really go?

God allows our experiences to mould us, 2 shape us. alot of times when we r going thru tough times, we get upset with God & ask: why me? but God has greater plans.

sometimes we might forget tat we land up in tat situation becos in d first place we have failed to recognise his still small voice.

some things that grip u so tightly now, 5 years later when u think back, u might just laugh abt it. 10 years later, u probably forgotten wad led u to the anger or frustration.

its just how we deal with that moment. that moment when we feel shattered & painful. how do i get rid of the pain?

we have to admit at times, we really just feel that we cun go beyond this pt. but learning 2 cope with our emotions & ourpain is a process of growing & renewal.

i know wadever pain i have, God will heal mine. how abt u?

another week has just passed like tat.. so fast!

yesterdae was both a good & bad day for me. i went out with casey & yinglan to watch sky captain! it was great... so film noir. excellent stuff though nt the best i have seen but i liked it! din waste my $7.50 at all.

dere r a few movies i wanna watch...

1. wimbledon (wanna catch kirsten dunst! but prob not..cos no $$)
2. maria full of grace
3. shark tale (this is a must!! i prob watch with spencer. he loves such stuff n we just talk n-stop abt it! )

then we went mos burger to eat. i thought the chicken was not 2 bad but after eatting it, i had a terrible headache. well, call it a migraine. that lasted almost 5-6 hrs. & well, i had to catch a performance at sgh so i cldnt go home yet.

after i had a shower, i thought it'd be arite. then it came back again. i had no idea. i guess it was d weather. cold weathers make me feel sick sometimes.

aniwae i finally managed to sleep at 1am after taking 2 panadols. din really wanna take panadols cos its not good 2take painkillers 2 often but really had no choice.

i woke up this morning. gt a bit of shock seeing my sister at my table. scary. ha. she just came back from working night shift.

dere we go again, repeating my daily events in my blog.

just came back from sentosa today.

went with mich lim 2 recee the place for her event. we had fun.. haa. took silly fotos & looking out for places for her event.

abit tired now.

tomorrow kayaking! haa.. another outdoor day. so unlike me. but well.... its good to do some workout. i seriously need 2 lose weight.

watched ren wo ao you again today. seriously speaking, i think d other lifeguard(d one who acted in heartlanders) is much cuter than toro lor. if i were fiona xie, i'd choose him lorz.

but then again, its a drama. n according to my dad, youngsters like "toro that kind of pattern more."

huh? then wad.. i am nt a youngster?

If I Ain't Got You
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things define what’s within
And I been there before but that life’s a bore, so full of the superficial

Chorus: Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I ain't got you, yeah

Some people search for a fountain
The promise is forever young (You know)
Some people need three dozen roses
And that’s the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share with, no one who truly cares for me

Chorus: Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I ain't got you, yeah
If ain't got you with me baby, ohh, ooo
Say nothing in this whole wide world don’t mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby x2

Barter trade
you guys wun believe it but i think i am gonna appear on tv for the barter trade thing!! the wu wu da qiao huan show.. haa. sounds silly right? actually cos my fren celine went & she asked me go, so i thought only go and see her. in d end, i accompanied her and we entered d 2nd round but we were not good enuff to enter the last round to exchange all d goodies :( but it was a good experience for me to see how they do a outdoor shoot production.

k boz...
then after that celine n i went for dinner & suddenli as we were talking, i wanted 2 go ktv.. like in how many months i haven gone.. aniwae we went & i feel so bad cos she was actually rather tired but aniwae we had fun and i am so glad she taught me how to sing better. i alwas felt my singing was very airy but din noe how to change it but she guided me as we sang.. so i din use the falsettos.. but really feel my voice is very low.. and low & weird!! cos i can sing all d guys parts!! but aniwae i am glad to have met up with her..i really need 2 work on maintaining more of my frenships with pple

chat
had a good chat with my buddy michelle. its alwas one of the best things to do even though we were talking serious stuff lah.. but she's like teh one who understands me the most. its just so amazing how i even brought her to my church, and got her involved in my church etc. But i noe i wasnt teh one behind all these. It was certainly GOD. n mich is such a blessing to everyone! whoever marries her is so blessed, becos she can do cross-stitch, cook and play piano!! wow...

*carmen blows off the cob webs on blogger.

yoz everyone i am back on blogger!!! well, actually i am at my cousin's house now... heh..but my home internet has been down.. well, its a long story but i heard from my sista everything is fixed areadi but i probably sleep when i get home.

well, we had yellowstone tech run today. qt interesting lah i was like running arnd doing alot of stuff , not so much of moving props but buying stuff haa.. moving wires and blah blah. well, but it is a good exposure for many of us. dun care so much abt the pay though.. heh

sunday is my church's 21st anniversary! time realli flies... i have been attending FIBC since i was 8 or 9? but in between i din attend for a while.. but its kinda like a place i grew up in. Things have changed, people have left & joined us but yet God's spirit is still within his house. We thank God that he has been preserving us even though we are such a small church. But i kinda like the small cosy feeling where everyone noes each other.

Well, this hols has been so far so good. I mean without pressing deadlines, everything is good!! haa.. had time to rest, helped mychurch youths with their work, did some planning for my church camp as well. I hope to meet up and go out with my frens as well, i mean dun waste this great opportunity rite?

so yah, as u can see i am not working except for the yellowstone thing. but i dun tink i am the only one not working rite?? haa.. well, my mum did nagged at me about working but i really wanted to serve God as much as i can & i figured out if i took on some 9-5 job everyday, i cant realli do that wholeheartedly.

i gotta go.. till then spidey says enjoy your holidaesss
