Heyo.

I'm sick :( I don't even know why, i just had a terrible night on sunday, like on the 1st day of chinese new year. I had a super bad sore throat to start with always and then all the cough and running nose, watery eyes come in after that. Hm, and its during common tests too! :(

Ytd was quite fun at jiu ma and jiu gong's house, cos of my aunts! They're young not the 30plus kind, they sang karoke and i watched :) They kept saying that my mouth was moving and i wanted to sing -.- but i didn't want to! I was too exhausted to sing pleasantly. I just laid at the couch with one of them and slacked. Haha, fun! And and omg, nicole is soooo cute. She knows how to do that sorry sorry sorry thing. Not that i know much about that song but its 'cool' huh! Ate dinner there and home-ed :)

I'm at home now, daddy and mummy and brother went to da gu ma's house for the last gathering for cny but i'm not going cos i'm studying and i have too bad cramps to even move about much. Save me.

I have 5 more papers and killer ones too, Lord i'm committing them into your hands now! :) Campus changemaker panelists are going to get busy in March, excel fest is gonna make me busy too after exams, installation drawing near as well.

My valentine's day presents are going out tmr, haha late!

<3

That feeling comes again.

I'm putting my fears aside
Leaving my doubts behind
I'm giving my hopes and dreams to you Jesus

<3

Common tests is in a week's time!
So i'll be stopping here :)
Please pray!

Hwa Chong invest this coming wed, excited!

Time flies like aeroplanes :)

Its like one week after i fell, exactly. Lots of homework, great experience at Chapel, prayer cell and dorcas/esther training. This week was more like a spiritual week and a good touch with God :) I learnt a lot of Mrs Koh, she shared with us till she cried, omg. I'm so blessed to have a form teacher like her.

I had cca today, but couldn't play cos i had very bad skin allergy, enzema so stayed in the harp room to do my homework. After that, cos we ended early, Joanne, Athelia, Beatrice, Charmaine, and I stayed back awhile to have heart to heart talks. Haha, we talk about harp and lots of stuff, it was good to pour out our views :) Looks like this year is gonna be exciting for my batch! :)

I went back at 5plus, then realise that Cheh XiaoJun was having a bad headache so we did not have cell  :(  I'm like trying to finish my homework and studying cos i have 5 tests next week! Omg, I'll pray for you friends! Don't worry, sherie STOP stressing rmb what i said :)

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."

I held the screen today during assembly, great experience no?

<3

School has been exciting! :)
Haha, i actually enjoy going to school just not liking an entire day full of lessons without pe and all.

God:
Please heal Eunice, Cheryl, Iris, Alison, Angelyn, Tricia and all those who are sick that i know of :)
Also, give Vanessa the strength to overcome her difficulties in math
Give rachel strength and good rest :)
Be with YenPing, and provide a comforting shoulder.

In JESUS name i pray, Amen! :)

Installation has been postponed,
i fell ytd :(

<3

It was the best 3 days ever!

I finally took some time to get on the computer, i was so busy and sometimes i don't even know what i'm doing -.-

Sec 1s had a great time, and camp comm learnt even more than they had expected. After the camp, Ms Ng and Mr Pang treated us to macs in the AVA, we poured out our learning experiences and self improvements, shared our difficulties and cried, laughed so much.

I really never experienced anything like that before! Nothing like the friendships, nothing like the fear that came over me when i first stepped on stage, nothing like the passion to use my talents to serve Him, nothing like the joy in seeing the sec1s enjoying themselves, nothing like the satisfaction you get out of your hard work when you see the smiles on their faces.

Alesha was super enthu, haha i saw and observed :)

I thank God for camp comm, you've been there for me 24/7! :) Love you guys.
I grew closer to deb too, we were the ones that were walking around finding things to do when there was class time :) Deborah followed me to the dorm early on the 2nd night when i was having a bad headache, followed me to the toilet to bathe cos i was scared, helped me arrange the chairs so that i can sleep, helped me off the lights, haha. It really meant a lot, love you deb! :)

I went for the JG picnic at botanical gardens after cca fair, a good time of bonding, had fun! :)
Sherades :)

Its just the stress that comes over you when you've realised that you've got piles of homework waiting for you after camp. That's the reason why i chose not to go for the Christmas cast thanksgiving lunch. Today, we had a dance debrief, we're gonna build up a permanent dance ministry! I'm excited, but i'm still gonna conside joining it :) It'll be fun.

Installation's coming up!

<3

Day 1 was WHOAHHH :)
Haha, i don't know how to describe it but i just felt that i was totally different from the last 2 years. So 3A4 took 3B1's classroom, its quite nice and its near the toilet! :) We got Mrs Koh Si Ping as our form teacher and Mrs Tay as co. I was really happy cos both of them were very nice! :) Like super nice, Mrs Koh gave us her wedding gift some sweet with both her and her husband's names on it. Aww, she just got married in dec. Mrs Tay is just a sweet old lady!

1 more day, and Sec 1 camp. I hope i don't miss too many lessons!

Lord's goodness is faithful! :)

Lots of people say, "Omg, 2009 passed really fast. I didn't expect it! " Haha, but i expected it though. 2008 was fast too, but i guess 2009 was just faster. I just finished my evaluation for year 2009 :) I wrote it in my new spiritual journal/diary! Haha, i realised i acomplished many of the things i've put down while some other things just didn't work out. Joanne, let's take a step at a time :)

Overall, i did quite well for my studies and work side of school this year. I guess that's the reason that i got my desired subject combination, life in the board had its ups and downs but i'm glad its settled now. It really taught me so much and inspired that change in me, and i felt good when i heard those words from Ms Gan :) Relationships were managable, but they sure have space for improvements! :)

Old New resolutions:
1. Get what i want done! (Of course, it must be achievable)
2. Be a minister in my own marketplace (I have people in mind :) )
3. Pray for those that i don't love, don't like
4. Be a better JG, get the SG together!
5. Be the best best friend to Rachel Koh
6. Give the basic respect and find the time to communicate with daddy and mummy
7. Patience with my brother
8. Be committed to the board, need dedication.
9. Be more caring to the people around
10. Handle friendships, stress, work, harp,duties with God's help!
11. Just be what God has created me to be (And not anything else from the world)
12. Be more accountable to Mentor :) (Tell her more things!)
13. Open up, have more courage
14.Have less fear and more confidence in what i'm doing ('O' level music & pure lit)
15. Bond and get to know my juniors
16. Treasure what  i have
17. Do the right thing in relationships (Omg, Joanne just do it when you hear God's voice)
18. Continue doing quiet time everyday :) (Make an effort to write down thoughts)
19. Grow in prayer for others and not self
20.. Gain favour with God and Man through faithfulness and love

Baptism verse: Proverbs 3:3-4 "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man."

i thank God for everything that has happened in the week, PB retreat, Sec 1 dry run for 2 days till today afternoon :) It all went smoothly, i'm glad i'm a game marshall for night games and sentosa one! :) I just hope the camp would be the best ever. Those that are under stress, I'll be praying for you k! You have my love and support :)

Bye 2-3, hello 3A4.

It really felt like Christmas this year :) God gave me wonderful blessings, and lots of joy in what i was doing and receiving. Thank you Jolene for being there the entire time for me :) You were really patient, love ya!

So we had full dress on thurs after technical run? I was 1 and a half hours late because i had to stay back to clean up the pb room on christmas eve! But i thought it was rather satisfying :) Cos we really worked hard, we wore masks :) Haha, i felt super tired when i reached church, like really have no energy. It was better after awhile, the stage and all that were setup already :) After everything, i went to meet daddy mummy at tm. I saw cheh angela at the traffic light, then she waited for me :) So we went there together. Home-ed.

Friday was the actual thing! :) i was late, haha. Cos i stayed up to do the christmas cards and presents so was quite tired :( We had one full run and went to do our makeup after that.

Me! Haha, the makeup helper/artist was super nice :) They helped out like professionals!

Jolene was a pretty girl too on that day :)

We had lunch, then went to change into our costumes and we were on :) The first show, Jolene and I were super blur. Ashley scared me by asking me where are the perfume testers when we were backstage, so i ran out to get.  Then after that, Jolene remembered that we had to bring our wallets, so we both ran our to get :) Haha, they made 3 crosses for us to strip and change into our shopper's clothes :) It was effective!

2nd show was the best :) I enjoyed it a lot, haha. But Yong Siang punched me in the eye just before we went on stage :( Omg, it hurt quite badly. So i went on stage so blur. But it was accidental so its alright :) We took many pictures in between so it was quite fun!

All the dancers, Joanne loves you :) (We all looking at Jeremy's camera, not this one.)


Santerinas! :) Haha, all of them were really pretty :)


Cheh angela! :)

I'll upload more, together with caroling pictures next weekend :)
I actually met the 2nd batch Harp president :) Omg, haha she was actually from my church! I really didn't know it, until Jasmine told her that i'm in PL and in PL Cherubs. Haha, omgg i was so excited when she came to talk to me cos i'm like in her footsteps. I shared with Cheh Michelle some things, she was really supportive :) It  would be great to get to know her more, can give advice :) She's like my senior senior senior senior!! Haha. And she from the board! Like in the exco somemore, she did super well in school :) Thanks for the prayer :) Andrea, thanks for the support and prayer too k :)

Off to pack my bag for PB retreat! And dry run after that for 2 days :(

<3

PS:/ What's your purpose is all that? Something for me?

Haha, ah=surprise :)

Yup, so for the past week there were 2 more birthday surprises? It was really great! A year that i had the most surprises on/after my birthday :) So, on friday, i met Eunice and Laeticia at Ion to get some things but ended eating and getting our legs tired. We sat at the Orchard mrt platform for half an hour taking pictures when it was less crowded, then we took a train to meet the rest!

 
I concluded that Laeticia wasn't that good at taking photos :)

We decided to eat at Sakae Sushi, and actually i was quite broke but God gave me money! Cos Ruoting, Deb, Laeticia, Eunice and Rachel treated me! :) They were really nice, like they were all paying me after that -.- After eating, Rachel and Laeticia went toilet. I was playing deb's guitar hero thingy, it was quite fun. Then suddenly Bff and Laeticia came carrying a starbucks paper bag, and Laeticia was singing on her own -.- Haha, it was really funny i was super shocked! Cos i really didn't figure anything out, the video's on facebook! Laeticia was really funny, it made me laugh :)Uh huh, then they used the coffee stirrer as the candle :)

 

We paid and walked to Victoria Concert Hall, it brought back memories of being in SSO :) Took pictures!

 
Group Photos! I love my clique lots lots lots <3 (Everyone's in 3A4 except Lala :( )

 
I finally took a proper picture with my awesome frienddd :) THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTT! :D

 
I love you deb! <3 (I'm sure we're gonna get closer next 2 years :) )

Overall, I'm really very thankful. I love you deborah! I love you rachel! I love you Eunice! I love you Ruoting! I love you Laeticia! :D We went to see Vanessa, gave her a hug!

Ness dances ballet really well, you rock. She was very pretty, duh ~

 
I love you ness too! :) I will always there to support you in what you do! :)

On saturday, i had caroling in the evening. I can't believe i'm so blur again. We went to Gabriel's house to gather. After awhile, Gor Jackie and Gabriel went out, then i asked them where they were going, Gor Jackie said buy something. Then i never say anything. When they came back, i also didn't see them although the door was open, when they came out of the lift, beatrice was like isn't that Jackie? Then Benedict was like "No, its just someone that looks like him." Beatrice was like "But its really him! " Just after that, he came in with the cake singing happy birthday :) Aww, i was like is it for me? Haha, :) Took pictures, and left for the 1st house. I went to meet mummy and daddy at J8 after everything, long journey :( Home-ed.

I had full dress on Sunday, i had fun with that orange overall :)

Ytd, i went to bff's house to discuss and prepare the things for the Sec1 camp board for registration! We had our fun, and left for White Sands to get the materials. I accompanied her to tampines mall for her movie, but she met her friend on the way. Haha, then went to get my christmas presents! I'm not done buying :(

Iwent to school today to do up the board and other Sec1 Registration things. Thank you ruoting for your birthday present! Had singpiration prac after, deb gave me a hug! :) Haha, i needed it. Thank you!

I just wanna thank rachel for everything :) You've been really nice this past week, i don't know you were great talking to about everything under the sun! You know, the sun. Yeah, i love you deep deep, long long, wide wide :) Haha, it just means i love you a lot! :D
