This is really cute!
It's 7 more days to Chinese New Year, i can't wait for it to come! Not really because of the food, but because of the break! I need a break seriously.
Count down! 7 more days!
I just read Grace's blog. hahaha she blogged about how Stella and her are dying out of hunger, how come it seems everyone is dying of starvation??hah today i met Kelly and she told me duirng her lab yesterday, she was so hungry that she was hallucinating while doing her experiment..She saw a sticker which has a picture of sandwich and she started imagining things already. Lol..We have no break since 10am until 4pm when we went down to the canteen to ate our LUNCH. can u believe it? Truly a hungry woman is an angry woman. Afte our lecture today, Grace and I chiong to the canteen to eat yong tau fu. We were satisfied. I've never found proper meals are so precious until this sem. Thank God for proper food. i can't stand eating curry puffs, waffles, kuee during lectures already.. During my 6 hours lectures, i always have the urge to da-bao my curry mee or lor mee into the LT.. But i think it will be so embarrassing..so better not.
We need to eat proper food!! credit to Grace, no headlines with UNDERGRAD FAINTED IN SCHOOL COZ OF STARVATION!
Chinese New Year, come quickly.. will u??

Hunger strikes!

Today is the xiong day. i had 6 hours of lectures straight. By the time i was at my 3rd lecture, i couldn't take it already. I was so hungry. I mean, i ate bak chaor mee for breakfast, waffle and curry puff for snacks, but i just felt as if my hunger is taking over me! I was telling darice marie that i want to eat LOR MEE!! and that darice even said that NUS is national university of STARVATION!! coz we never get to eat our proper meal ! After whining, and time passes slowly, we end school le! at 4pm. They all went back and I rushed to the canteen to buy bread to stuff myself. i stayed in school to wait for Gabriel, Meiqi and Weiqi to go for a meeting. I went to the library, wanting to do some revision as MQ and WQ only ended at 6pm. So i thought i would just stay in library till 6pm! But then..once again..Hunger took over me! I didn't have money with me at that time. SO! I smsed Gabriel, ask if he end school already, and indeed he has. haha so i smsed him, "meet me 525pm sharp at canteen! I need your help, urgent! It's just a gap between life and death!" So at 525pm, gabriel came and was like, "Myrna, what thing?? between life and death somemore!" Then i said, " I'm so hungry but i got no money now, can lend me first?? It's really between life and death! " then he's like "OKaaayyy..i still wanted to rush to library to borrow a book on CPR for u lo!!" -_- heh.

Anyways! after that we meet up with MQ WQ and Yuantai and we talked a lot of random stuffs..our fragrant shoes shi4 jian4. I bet yuantai was like -_- shake head. LOL.

By the way, i just felt that sometimes we just take people for granted. I mean, everyone of us know that we shouldn't take people for granted. But how many of us have actually internalised that? Like for me, a very simple example will be, every morning, my mum will wake up before me and when i am preparing to go to school, i really need an assistant to help me. Okay, i know some of u feel like stoning me. But really haha, i really need help or not i will forever late! My mum will always be the one helping me with the random stuffs, like "mummy, can u help me take tissue paper? can you help me take my that book? can u help me fill my water bottle pls??" When Marie knows that my mum actually helped me fill my water bottle every day, she gave me that "!!!!!" look. lOl..okay i know..i'm like a primary school kid. But realy, till now, my mum still helps me do that. I mean..at times i will get so immune to it that i think it's natural. But...!! When my mum was away in Msia, i will feel so lost!

We shouldn't take people for granted. But on the other hand, if we are the ones who felt as if we are being taken for granted, let's not lose heart :) People may think that we've not done enough, not good enough, not caring enough, not this enough and that enough, but as long as we know in our hearts that we've done the best, that's enough. Most importantly, God knows that we've done our best, that's enough :) At times i will feel that way too, but let's not burden ourselves or care too much about what people thinks. i mean surely we'll be affected by what people say, BUT, we are the ones to accept or to discard the things they say from our lives!

Come on, the world is still beautiful, full of beautiful people!! Like you and me! :) MUAHAHAH

My 2nd week!

The second of week has been good! Even though it is only the 2nd week of school, but it has been busy and fulfilling! Hmm..busy, i don't think it's about school work coz not much to catch up too. Like on monday, we all, the Nus peepz had gone to Settler's at Holland Village to chill, or rather, to blast the whole cafe. LOL. After my lessons in school, I met up with with Grace, gab, Dan, QH for lunch. okies. it's subway again. I think it's a periodic kinda of thing. I used to love Lor Mee so much during my days in SOT that so many people recognised and called me Lor Mee Girl, even those whom I don't know. After that, when school starts last Aug, i fall in love with MegaBites! ( it sells western food) Poor Deborah and Grace. Even time after our Computing or Science of Music lecture, i will drag them to Megabites and eat! And it's so unhealthy. Mostly fried food! And Poor Grace, if I ask her to eat MegaBites now, i bet she will disown me! haha and she's so glad that i've ditched MegaBites and fall madly in love with Subway! :) Oh yah, so after my lessons in sch, i went for piano lessons and after which, i met up with Grace, Gab and Sm again. Applause to SM who went to find out how to go to Settlers! it's quite a ulu place actually. haha it's at the void deck of a block! We went in, and i'm really tired, so i chioing to the nearest sofa and sat down. Then we looked around, how come the rest of the people are not there yet? are we too early?? The waiter was like, "Did you all made reservation??" I was "yah, we did." He asked, "under whose name?" I still replied happily, "Oh! booked by the Nus people. We're from nus!" Grace and Gabriel gave me the "WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT MYRNA who cares whether we're from nus or not???" so dui lian! Then he realized that we're the ones who have booked the upper room! No wonder we didn't see anyone coz all of them were upstairs!! -_-

When we went up, a lot of people are there already, we played some games and ate our food. I tell u, for the last game, i really could not concentrate hahaha there are so much screams and shouts from the rest of the tables! REally, even the waiter was so annoyed that he covers his ears! haha! And for our table, we played STRATEGIC GAME! can you imagine?? hahaha when Issac and Gabriel was explaining, i could not really take in anything. Firstly, i was too distracted. Secondly, i was so hungry. Thirdly, i could not switch on my brain at that time. haha Wells, We really thank God that the food came eventually! lalala

Some random thoughts..
On monday too, i saw a little boy, around 9,10 years old selling stickers outside BoonLay interchange. I saw him when i was on bus, turning into the interchange. i was so curious. He was asking the passerby whether they wanna buy his stickers or not. Then, after alighting from the bus, i went to look for the boy. He was wearing his singlet and his short pants. He was very polite too, i went up to him and asked him how much he sells for 1 sheet and i striked a conversation with him. He came out to earn pocket money for himself and they told me a bit about his family. i was like.."wwahh...admiration.." I was thinking, what was i doing when i was 9 years old?? Playing catching with my friends in the field, running around with my dog at home etc.

Today, is considered one of my xiong day. I had lecture from 10-12pm and had lab immediately after that. It is supposed to be from 12 to 6pm. Darice and Huijuan are really tired :) We had our lab and i really thank God my lab partner, Audrey is nice! haha I prayed to God for a few nights to bless me with a nice lab partner and He's faithful! During the 1 hour break when our DNA are in incubation, Huijuan darice and i went for lunch. We went.. to...Where???

MEGABITES!!!

hahaha we ordered our set meal and halfway eating, 3 of us were like...FULL and struggling to finish our food. We have stuffed ourselves with bread during our lectures as we thought we wun have time to eat, but we had this 1 hour break actually. We ended early aroundn 430pm and i headed home. I wait for my bus for more than 3o minutes in the middle of the expressway. 10++ buses passed by me, but my bus is yet to come! i was like ok..READ MY NOVEL. i shall learn to divert my impatience to my book.

These few weeks, i learnt that, whenever we are so busy with everything, assuming it is meaningful too, we wish to have a good rest, just to laze around, or watch tv. But when we are really lazing around and watching tv, we wish that we're busy with everything instead of doing nothing. Hence, in everything we do, let's just enjoy every moment! When we're so busy, let's enjoy the buziness, when we are lazing around and resting, let's really relax to the max! But I would rather i be busy. I'll get depressed if i stay home the whole day more than 1 day. So in order to not get depressed, i think i'd be better off doing something!

Let's enjoy everything that we're doing now! :)

First week of school,thank God!

First week of school has passed! It has been great :) My timetable..i don't whether it's good or bad. i had 5 days week. 2 days with 6 hours straight of lectures, 1 day with 8 hours straight of lect+ lab but 2 days with 2 hours of lectures. I don't have breaks in between the 6-8 hours of lectures. Luckily we haven't start lab this week, so still quite fine. But i had the 2 days of 6 hours straight of lectures. i tell you..it's very distracting! from 10-4pm, no breaks. Hence i always store a lot of food in my bag. At least 3 snacks. lol. Like today, i ate 1 egg tart, 1 soon kwek and 1 curry puff during the lectures. Marie took exactly the same elective and core as me so we all sat throughout the 6 hours. I turned to her, she's not hungry at all, asked her whether want to buy anything to eat, she said no need, still so cool. In my heart i was like, "YOU WIN" haha

And i started exercising since last week! I wrote down in my SMARTER goal setting card that i must exercise at least once a week. oh man, i think even the angels in heaven and on earth are like applausing for me :) I don't know when is the last time i ran. And for a person who don't like to exercise and has started exercising, i got to say, excercise is really good :) I feel much refreshed and i don't feel sleepy and lethargic that much. So come on, people! Let's exercise!

Last Sat, i wasn't feeling too good about myself. Sometimes, we all do feel that. I went to the void deck and sat down and cried for 1 hour alone. It was raining so heavily, and there are thunders and lightning! i dun like thunders and lightnings! =X Anyways, i'm not afraid to let people know that i cry but i don't like people to see me cry, it's like so dui lian. Coz when i cry, i really cry like a little girl. When i laugh, i really laugh as if i roars! When i eat, i really eat till my stomach cannot take it! So..that time, i was like, so frustrated and upset with myself. A few of the aunties and bangala who walked past were like starring at me, as if i've be ditched by someone and mourning over it. I sat at the table there and i was telling God "God! I won't leave this place until you tell me something". 15 mins passed..30 mins passed..45 mins passed..My friends called n msged, asked me if i'm alright.. I didn't want to answer any one of them, because i want to hear from God first. At around 45 mins, "Jos 1:8" flashed in my mind. I flipped to the page and i read from v 6 to v 10. God says "Be strong and courageous!" and He said it 3 times in 3 verses! And continue saying " Do not be terrifed, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." The verses spoke exactly to how I was feeling at that time and this really encourages me.. I felt as if the burden in my heart is being taken away and i'm so relieved.

At times, we may think God is so far away, God is the Almighty God, would He care about every single thing that we go through??? Yes! He does..He's so close to us and He understands everything that we are going through...As we wait and call a upon His Name, He will be there.. :) God is Almighty yet He is a gentle, tender and loving Father..Really thank God for showing me how true He is :) The one who never abandon, the one who never leave.. A word from heaven is better than a thousand words from elsewhere..Thank you Jesus.. :)

Today!

Today's service is simply awesome! Pastor preached about forgiveness and when he gave a 5 questions quizz, i got 1 F and 4 T. 5T is the worst..coz it means that you have a wrong perception of forgiveness that is not in line with the bible. And i got 4/5 T!! Anyway, it doesn't matter now, because after the preaching, i really get to know what real forgiveness is!

Real forgiveness is unconditional.
Forgiveness doesn't minimize the seriousness of the offense.
Forgiveness isn't resuming a r/s without a change.
Forgiving isn't forgetting what has happened.
And lastly, forgiveness isn't my right when i wasn't the one hurt!

I guess, no matter who are we, there will be times when we're hurt by what has happened; a cirumstance, or even what people speak. On the other hand, there are times when we are the one hurting others. Forgive if we're the victim, and for the offender, please geninuely seek forgiveness..never ever say, "I didn't mean what I say." Because if you don't mean it, then don't say it out in the first place. haha okay...it sounds so serious now.

After service today, we all went to have lunch and went to Mind's Cafe. It is my first time going to Mind's Cafe. I have to say it's quite fun! haha but expensive! Every minute we spend there is being charged! After an hour or so, Dwayne Liangwei and I left first. Then we all went to the National library to retrieve Dwayne's childhood memory lol..the last time he went to borrow books was when he is sec.1!!! haha after Dwayne went home, left Liangwei and I. As we have our own appointments later in the evening, we hung out together until it's time for us to leave. We went to starbucks. And it's real hot. We were really quite tired. and we just sat on the sofa, facing each other and STONE. LOL. really. i think our brains are not working practically, we don't know what we are talking already. I cannot stand the atmosphere, so I asked if he's hungry ( but we just had our lunch) haha and he said YES. and so am I. So we went to eat at foodcourt and thank God! after consuming his indo chicken rice and my beef noodle, our brains started working once again! hahaha we talked about so much things that we nearly forget the time to leave! He went to his ah ma's place and i went to Changi Airport to meet my friends.

My Nus friend, Deborah is leaving for Netherland for exchange. haha so after waiting for some time, I met up with Rachel, Grace and Joseph and we all came and talked to Deborah for a while. She has a lot of friends coming to send her off!!! Really a lot. hahaha the place is like so packed because so many of us are there. As there are too many friends, she went to each group to talk to them, end up for quite a while, the 4 of us are faded into the background hahaha so we decided to take photos of ourselves and having fun on our own haha anyway, i will certainly miss deborah. :) She's really a very genuine, sincere and caring friend. Someone who is so gentle-spirited.

Okays! here we are, Rachel, grace, Deborah, me and Joseph



This is Chris! Our friend. haha i did a southeast asia project with Deborah him and he's really nice! i stil remember there's this day where 3 of us are squashed inside a .05mx1.2m ( i think so!) cubic! * the cage at central library where people go in to pick up call. the 3 of us mo4 mo4 de sit inside there for 4 hours! I was like "HELP!" but none of us dare to say it LOL..

It has been such a LONG time since we had a complete outing with everyone present! haha we met at IMM. supposed to meet at 630pm but i thought is 7pm. I still took my time to prepare..take bus which goes to the longer router, until 640, Grace called me and say everyone is there already and waiting for me.




Okay, here's twinniez! Grace and me haha You know what, to take pictures with smaller and sharper face, you must tilt 45 degrees downwards and the camera must be placed higher :) We are satistfied with the 45 degrees tilt!




This is my hot plate! It looks real messy haha it taste quite okok only..




haha this is taken by our dear Mayling! Her finger has created an artistic effect..lol..





OKay..once again..the 2 crazy girls at the back! haha the rest of the 6 of them look so sane compared to the 2 insane.




haha Grace and i looked so extra at the back! protuding out of nowhere! like 2 passerby stopping by to take a picture. lol





Okays! finally! this is the pic that we want. We took like 20 mins to get a right picture! We took like 10+ pics on this alone!




This is Mayling and Peifen!





My beloved Grace!!!




Grace Yuanyu and I! Yuanyu is one of the sweetest girl i ever met! hahaa she always make little gifts for us! i love her lots!





hahaha as if we're at some beauty pageant.

Contestants: Yuanyu, Wendy, Shimin, Mayling, Zhixian, Peifen, Grace and I


haha i love all of them! I've known each one of them for 4 years already! Ever since at sajc :) They are the ones who've seen all my ugly moments. We planned and organized camp, activities for our CCA. And poor Grace, i can never remember how i slept with her during camp..but we slept with my head facing her leg and my leg facing her head. haha and my legs keep hitting on her head. When she tried to move away from me in the midst of my sleep, my legs also unknowingly followed her head!
And how I've scared her with my hair while i was sitting down in the middle of the night. That time, my hair is super long and straight and she was like freaked out!
And how both of us woke up with anxiety as we we realized we haven't prepare our games and we were so stressed that we throw tantrums hahaha..at who?? ourselves! Zhixian they all were too lazy to be bothered with us anyways LOL.
haha how we were angry with our juniors during a BBQ on that stormy, rainy night with all winds and thunders, Grace and I bbq-ed the food and took all the food to one corner and gouge ourselves with it! haha now thinking back, it's so childish! and once again, Zhixian they all can't be bothered with us hahahaha coz they know we're the most childish amongst the 8, and they just let us be. Grace and i were like "LET's FINISH EATING ALL SO THAT they all dun have anything to eat anymore!!" Lol..
Now i remember Zhixian yuanyu Grace and i stayed up till 4am just to talk. That is when i realized, Zhixian has talked to MOST! haha we always tot she's the "talk little, do more" kind..haha I love Zhixian!!
And how i occupied Mayling's sleeping bag by unknowingly spreading my whole body on the entire sheet when i'm supposed to share with her, end up she has to sleep on the canteen bench! hahaha okay mayling, i'm really sorry abt that!
So many anecedotes to talk about, they are the girls i love! :) How we grow up together..from being childish to now..less childish. heh..

Happy 21st Bday to WENDY N YANPING!!

Today is real fun! i went for two 21st birthday celebration! haha SEE! how time flies..

After service, most of us went to an Indo restaurant at Plaza Singapura there to have our birthday cum farewell lunch with Yanping! She's leaving for Canada 2 days later for SEP. I will miss her! And we're celebrating her 21st bday as well! haha I know Yanping for almost 4 years, every since my jc days. She's really very smart, pretty and sporty! As in she really plays a lot of sports. haha Guys, please quene up and pay ur registration fees to me first! :)


Then, around 10 of us went to watch the movie called "Over the Universe". 1 word to describe it.."DIAO" or after being translated, means sth like "STUNNED".

Only under 2 circumstances should u watch it.

1) You have so much money that you dunno where to spend and hence, rather spurge ur money on this movie

2) You are having a high fever that day.


I don't know which category i'm in. haha anyway..this movie is ...a bit queer??? It's like a musical..lotsa songs and random stuffs. All the songs are rather pleasant to the ears..but..all of them sound the same. i can only remember 2 songs specifically, "Hey Jude" and the "strawberry" song. I was rather bored then..so I look to my left. Yanghong is already sleeping very soundly. I was like WAh! haha and my giggles woke him up. then I turn to my left, WAh! JO is also sleeping too lol..Oh man..And really, got a lot a lot of random scenes..Not that it is a low cost production..but it's the storyline and the random scenes that have left us in bewilderment. Okay..i seldom comment so much on movies...but yah...really..WEIRD movie. After the movie, all of us were like "?????" haha but nevermind, we had fun anyway!




After the movie, I went to Westmall, to meet Wendy and the rest coz it's WEndy's 21st birthday too!! i'm supposed to meet my little friend, Wee Shan, nicknamed by me, called Xiao Bai Cai. Xiao Bai Cai is my dearie, Liling's younger sister. I know XBC since she was 6 years old..hahaha..now that she's 14 years old..can tell how long i've known her sister!! I reached earlier so i went to the library there just to sit down and read my stuffs. then when XBC comes, i was like WOAH! u just came from a camp is it??? she's carrying a super super big and solid bag! She told me when she went up on bus, the bus uncle kept starring at her bag, as if she's carry some unidentified articles LOl..Then yah, this is the bag that all of us shared to give Wendy! And in the bag, there are 20 gifts contributed by 13 of us :) This includes soft toy, nail polish, mascara, 4 bottles of coke, accessories, chocoloate t shirt,etc etc! These are all the things that she like. lOl..Then, when the rest came, we ate at this chinese restaurant, i was really very full to the max alr! the gifts idea are from Liling they all, really creative and i think Wendy is really very happy with her gifts! haha i bought her a rebonded lion head pencil and earrings LOL..



This is the Birthday gir, wendy with her big black bag full of presents!


This is us! Liling, wenyi, yuqing, wendy, me and meishi



:) 1 more week to school reopening!

Random

I have stayed home 3 days this week! It's so weird. I felt as if i'm some wandering soul in my house. Praise God my mum is at home too! haha at least i have someone to talk crap, have fun with. I'm either sleeping, eating or watching tv. Honestly, i can't really stand it..Of course, having to wake up at any time that i can is really a bliss but really, it doesn't feel good. I was talking to Meiqi yesterday when we went out, and we concluded that staying at home for too long, like more than 1 day, will make us depressed. haha i agree totally.

I looked at a few of my friend's blog and i'm really happy for them that they did really very well in their studies! They posted their result slips and i was like "WOAH!" fantastic! haha i was thinking to myself, if i were to get their kinda results next sems, i will certainly post my results on my blog too! and i will make it a full page big! muahaaha by faith, that day will come!

Some random thoughts.
Since i was young, i had so many dreams and ambitions. haha but most of them were periodical. I remember once i watched a tv drama and it's all about firemen, and i wanted to become a firewoman!Braving the fire and save many lives. So many to be named. But for the most memorable ambitions i had and has is to become a doctor, pastor, musican, pastor's wife, air stewardess, supermodel and a nobelprized winner lOl. it sounds weird. nobel prized winner, how many are there in the whole of history? that day i did a check, there's only like 700+ for the past 100 years (If i'm not wrong) , it looks sOOoo far away from me now..but in bible, it says, there's hope in Christ for those who believed in Him. haha, so, Myrna and friends! u can do it!

School is starting soon! in 10 days time! Welcome back, Nus :)
