Welcome Home Elliot!=)
say hello to Elliot!=) the CAIRN TERRIER from the SPCA. after searching for soo long.managed to set my eyes on Elliot.=)
went to the SPCA on Saturday, the place was packed.public holiday crowd.haha.walked around to see the dogs available. set my eyes on Elliot.strange, no one stopped by his cage to look.i guess everyone else was fixed on a maltease and 2 shitzhus.haha.Elliot saw me, started to lick my fingers. He was really tame and gentle. i asked the person in charge what happened to him and they said he was a lost dog.poor thing. the minute i saw him, i fell in love with him. my dad said ok as well.and all we had to do was to bring my mum down the next day to finish up the adoption procedure.
Sunday( Today) came. i excitedly left church for SPCA. finished up the paperwork, and headed down to Pet Lovers Centre to give Elliot a haircut and nail trim!haha.he was pretty well behaved in the car, in the shopping centre and in the groomers as well. i had to carry him in VIVO with curious stares from all the shoppers. and my gosh.HE IS HEAVY. I would say he is about 7-10kg?haha.i carried him for about 5 minutes and my arms felt like it was about to break off from my shoulder socket!bought Elliot a new leash and harness!combs and one big bag of food!maintaining a dog seriously aint cheap man.spent about 200 in total in one day!
Elliot came home. as usual, sniffed all around. and not once did he make trouble.cept for the time he sneakily climbed up the stairs though we told him NO.haha. very very gentle and tame. he did not give us trouble SO FAR=).
Elliot the lazy dog.
had a simple home cooked dinner today, coz we celebrated Mother's day last saturday alr where the whole extended family could make it.GUESS WHAT MUM MADE!!
you guessed it!CRABS
=)
haha.kudos to mum's chilli crabs.made my mouth water non stop!and yes. i was the only one in the family to polish the crabs off!everyone else was too full.haha.
thick juicy meat,with slight spicyness and the "everymouth got egg" feeling ROCKS!
today was a good day!and i am very thankful for it!thankful for Elliot, for my parents in going through all the trouble to get me this dog and thankful for my mum and her superb culinary skills=)

CRAB CRAB CRAB.
1 week has passed really fast. and i have effectively "enjoyed" my first week of the holidays.haha.while some people have just started theirs.ok.i am not GLOATING HERE!but yea.the drawback of ending the exams earlier than everyone else is u got no friends to go out with!ahaha.but nothing beats sleeping in LATE=)
did alot of climbing this week.getting back my strength.slowly.and praise the Lord.my pulley injury doesnt hurt as much as before BUT my middle finger's knuckle is pretty inflammed.so inflammed that i cannot straighten it=(but yea.thats the price to pay for climbing.but that will not stop me!
had dinner with reg,jud and ely at Thai Express last night.jansen backed out.he sensed a "girls outing" at work.haha.had my all time favourite soft shell curried crab.but the portion was not only SMALL.but the curry gravy was so little the whole meal tasted DRY.sigh.thai express is clearly losing their standard.
I HAD CHILLI CRAB FOR DINNER TODAY!jansen and i went into some ulu area.yio chu kang or yishun i cannot remember!hahha.some famous seafood restaurant (Ban Leong).saw the BIG CRAB SIGN!asked for the price of the crabs.past our budget!=(i gave a sad look.haha.but we went ahead to order our ordinary fried rice and bee hoon.we were almost through with our food.all around me.people were eating crabs.i couldnt take it.i gave a sad and pathetic face to jansen and asked if we can order a small crab.i didnt mind paying for it.the craving was too strong.haha.he relented!i grinned from ear to ear.and ordered the famous CHILLI CRAB!
IT FINALLY CAME....and guess what.the chilli was really chilli crab!i though it would be more sweet than spicy.i took one mouth and almost died.but i knew i couldnt give up!haha.jansen kept laughin at me.but yes.i did enjoy the crab.cant wait to eat crabs again!.
had a good day out with him today.holidays rock.
and good news.my attachment to the prison has been postponed to 18 may instead of 11 may!yay!1 more week of holiday!haha
I LOVE CRABS.

Praise the Lord=)
yay!guess what is my first topic for my blog!
YOU GUESSED IT.
I am So done for the semester year of 2008/2009!woohoo.ended my exams yesterday at 7pm.didnt rejoice outwardly i guess.haha.coz it was an open book exam..so i kinda rejoiced on Monday, when i ended my second last paper.lets just say SW3201 was kinda easy till it became hard to do.if you guys out there know what i mean=)haha.OPEN BOOK+straightforward questions=recipe for disaster because you want to write everything in, yet no enough time.boo
ok.enough abt exams otherwise the other poor people who still have 2 or 3 more papers will come after me.haha.
Celebrated my Grandmother's birthday at Paris Restaurant, and since Mother's day is always after my grandma's birthday, the whole family have always celebrated it together.haha.so this year it was at Paris.
went there with high expectations, coz the buffet per person is supposed to be pretty ex.and the first thing i saw was OYSTERS!yummy,my favourite food of the day.followed by SALMON SASHIMI!mmmm.and then the crabs which got snatched up everytime a newplatter was displayed.which reminds me. i need to complain of the ugliness of the Singaporean attitude towards a buffet
it disgusted me so much, swarms of people flew to the poor pathetic crab platter with all the aunties rushing in to snatch up the crabs.i was queuing up and i got pushed out of the queue.i was pissed. thank God for my long hands. i used another set of thongs from the next dish to scoop some crabs onto my plate.without disturbing anyone. there was this particular aunty who barged in, said SORRY ARH!TOOK A WHOLE PLATE OF CRABS and passed the thong onto the next person.THE NEXT BEST THING SHE DID:"excuse me, can you help me grab the nutcracker?"the one used to crack the crab shell.not only did she CUT QUEUE, but she made others take stuff for her when she could have gone round to the other side, which was only 5cm away?gosh.such sights are better kept at home.seriously.
i broke a plate. some woman bumped into me, she was rushing for food.as if the food would run away.but then again, yes.food does run, and the people are the ones "taking them out for the run".ok.its ok if u dont get the joke.haha=)the plate fell out of my hand and landed right infront of my cousin's feet.it shattered into a million pieces.thank God my cousin didnt get any cuts. i was so embarrassed. and yea.thank God it was my cousin whom the plate fell onto.if it was on some uncle or aunty. i think i would have been dead.
but amidst the gross behaviour of these people, heres wishing my grandma HAPPY BIRTHDAY!=)
went to climb asia after lunch.climbed with suemay,adriel and chris.and of course, in CLimb Asia, you will never get bored.every climber knows each other.and everyone is friendly.did some crazy routes.ok.maybe not crazy to everyone.but crazy for me.considering that i have not climbed for almost 3 weeks!haha.with a pulley injury still on the road to recovery.and my forever swollen and inflammed middle finger knuckle=(sighh.
i always thought the more you work out, the fitter and healthier you are.so why am i getting all the aches,back pain,swollen joints,etc when i work out.haha.tell me tell me.somebody.i guess thats the drawback when you push your body too much.but yes.i do feel a lil,just a lil stronger after today's climb.i realised my skin on my hand is kinda thin.less than 2 hours of boulderin and i felt as if every tile i held was a sharp knife piercing into my fingers!it was really that bad=(booo.
time to moisturise my hands less.haha.but i still want smooth hands!and still climb well.can i?=)
ok.i shall stop here.im nursing a very strained neck.not sure if it was how i slept last night.i cannot turn to my right.gota turn my whole body. i was kinda worried when i drove my dad's car today. i was afraid i couldnt turn my head to check my blind spot.thank God for mirrors,and the relative empty roads today.hahaha.
AND YES.ALL THE BEST TO ALL WHO ARE STILL MUGGING HARD FOR YOUR EXAMS.jia you=)and that includes u jansen.stop beast waring!haha.=)

REMIND ME NEVER TO EAT A MCSPICY EVER AGAIN!~
This is one big major reminder for me not to ever eat MCSPICY ever agaiN!
had it for lunch before my Perfume and Cosmetics paper.i teared through the whole meal while studyin for my paper.LAST MINUTE AS USUAL.and yes, not very enjoyable at all.
did horribly for my paper.
i guessed almost all of my 80 MCQ questions!
smoked my way through for the 40 short question fill in the blanks
and finally i crapped for the 2 short essay questions
Result: FAIL.or let me get a minimum C so i can S/U!pls pls pls
after the paper, went to disturb jansen.haha.we watched ong bak 2 in vincent's beautiful air conditioned room in PGP. watched abit of BEAST WARS!??!?!?!(according to Jansen, it is part of transformers. it amused me quite a bit to see a rat,scorpion, king kong, t-rex,etc as part of the transformers gang).haha.and once again, it proved my point that CARTOONS ARENT MEANT FOR CHILDREN!the words they use are not meant for kids to understand.seriously. wondering if its possible for kids to write their own script for cartoons.ahha.it would probably be
Spongebob: "yo patrick!"
Patrick:" yo spongebob"
Spongebob:"what do you feel like doing today?"
Patrick:"duhhhh.i want to eat ice cream NOW!"
Spongebob:"lets look for the ice cream man!"
Spongebob's mother:"Spongebob!Patrick!dont run about!otherwise the GARANG GUNI MAN will catch you!"
Spongebob:" but mum, we want ice cream!!!"
Spongebob's mother:" eat after you have finished your homework!"
ok.that sounded boring!see.my point.let kids do their own cartoons and let them entertain their own peers=)
anw, after dinner, thats when all the trouble started, my tummy started hurting. i told jansen i wanted to poop at the central lib where the toilets are air conditioned.haha.but too late. had to do it in PGP. HOT and Gross PGP. i got the sitting cubicle. while halfway through my business, a girl entered the cubicle beside me and complained to herself :"gosh, its freaking hot."MY SENTIMENTS.
managed to survive the 1 hour long journey on 151. had to stop at a bus stop opposite toapayoh, while waiting for 139, the dreaded tummy pain came again. i panicked. all around me was concrete jungle and PIE. how to do it!?!!?i called my dad and begged him to pick me up. he agreed. i walked to a car park, with each step in excruciating pain.clutching my tummy, my mind went wild. imagine i had to do it in the carpark.where can i go!?!,my eyes darting left and right, my bag was weighing me down. no one was around. but i told myself to hang on!!!
finally, after what seemed like eternity, my dad came.i ran to the car.opened the door and told him to speed away. he kept asking if i was alright.i let out a weak "ok".i called my mum, told her to prepare the door, for it to be wide opened.
i reached the block. ran up as fast as i could. THANK GOD I LIVE ON THE 2ND FLOOR!rushed in and sat on "HEAVEN'S CHAIR". or so it seemed to me at that crucial point.haha.and yes.i am ok right now.FOR NOW.
cant wait for thur to come!im down to MY LAST PAPER!
and i am looking forward to my pathetic 11 day break before i start my attachment at the SIngapore prison on 11 may.booo.kind of looking forward to it, but yet, dreading the early start of my attachment=(
okies.im taking a break from all the horrible papers so far. am gona relax my eyes.indulge in some f4 meteor garden drama!hahaha.i realised i have watched this series almost every sem at least once. and it is always during my exams.i wonder why=)

Thank You for the cross Lord.
whoa.i see virtual cobwebs collecting on its own once again.
fear not.fel the hero is here to clean it up!or maybe fel the cleaner.haha.
anyways, its the break for the exams right now. started studying alr.DUH!i dont want my CAP to sink any lower. like what jia wei said, its like worms in the toilet bowl?struggling to crawl out?haha.nvm that. 2 papers this sat, one on mon, and on wed and IM DONE!by the 30 april!this is probably my earliest that i end my exams. usually, im always the last few to end. but this time, among most of my friends, im one of the earliest!YAY!cant wait.
this morning, Rev Abel Thomas came to speak in my service. he touched on a very common topic for all christians. on How much time are we giving God and how can we give him more time that he deserves.
i liked the quote he said"
WE MUST HEAR GOD IN QUIET TIMES (in our own bedrooms, when we do our quiet time) BEFORE WE CAN HEAR GOD IN THE SYMPHONY OF LIFE.
this is so true. many a times, we expect to be able to hear God speaking to us when we are so busy in our lives. how can we expect to hear God to speak to us, when we do not even hear him when we do our quiet time with HIM?=)
Rev Thomas named 8 distractions that we should try to overcome:
1)stop being busy.
2)stop having messed up priorities
3)stop the desire to climb the ladder of success.
(i liked it when he said only 1 person can be number 1, someone has to be number 2,3,4,etc. so why be number 1 in the world when you can be number 1 in your race for God=).haha.i admit, i never like being number 1, maybe coz i was shy to receive the prize.really!no kidding.haha.i remember when i was about 6 years old. i won an art contest for some national day theme drawing. i got 1st!but i was so shy that i ran home and cried. i didnt dare to receive the prize at all. my mum had to go home to drag me back to the prize presentation place. teary- eyed i went to take my trohpy. my first gold trophy and the best part was i got a whole set of legos. AIRPORT theme. with cool looking lego men, airplanes and runway track!haha.i preferred that to the trophy.)
4)stop hungering and thirsting for things that do not feed our soul.
5)stop disbelieving.
6)we do have the lack of examples around us. good christians to lead the way. few there are. but we must perservere=) it takes guts to say no to what everyone else in the world is doing.
7)stop being more self- reliant than dependent on God when faced with a problem. God is definitely bigger than us and the problem so why worry when he can worry for us=)
8)did we forget our first love?that is Jesus Christ? if we have, think of how God sacrificed his first love to die for our sins.
and yes, we have to overcome these 8 distractions. with prayer, encouragement from friends as well as God's strength, we can walk close with God.
"Dear Lord, i pray that each day as i overcome these distractions, i pray that you be my guide and my source of strength when i am too tired to carry on. i pray that i will be a testimony to all my friends out there that you have made a difference in my life and they can experience it for themselves once they have You in their lives. Thank you for loving me first. In Jesus's name i pray. AMEN"
ok.random time. i am very very sad because while running for the stupid bus 124 outside wisma today, i dropped my coach scarf!!!!!=(i only realised it when i had boarded the bus and the bus uncle was driving off alr.siighhh.it was a birthday present from Aunty Doreen. i am very very sad. why did i not tie the scarf tighter. why did i have to run for the bus.why did i shop in wisma for so long that when i came out, i had to run for the bus. why did i even have money in my wallet to shop in the first place.haha.ok.i shall stop here. bye.
and all the best to all studying for the finals=)JIA YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME=)
im finally 21 21 21 21 21 21!
gosh, i have been looking forward to this day since i was born?but now when the day has finally arrived. i wonder why all the hype over becoming 21.because i absolutely do not feel older or younger. was it just a facade that i've been disillusioned with all my life?that when i become 21, i can do everything and anything i like.and like how my life will suddenly be transformed?my foot!haha.maybe transformed by the wrinkly and saggy fairy.they always say once u turn 21, the rest of your years zoom past you.and yes, with old age comes great wrinkles and sag!
okies.abit gloomy for a newly turned 21 year old!haha.shall write a little about my past parties!yes, i had 2 parties to celebrate my birthday.the first was with my church. together with rachel and germaine. it was great!the "loot"(presents) was shiok!haha.i loved all my presents!and the amazing thing was i received a total of 5 different bags!i know i like bags. but i didnt expect a total of 5 different bags!now i can safely use one bag for everyday!hahaha.yes.i adore bags,shoes and clothes.
