yummyy

My mini trip to Malacca a few weeks ago had brought back sooooooooo much Pre-U memories. The Malacca campus has changed SOOOOO much and it looks really GRAND compared to 5 years ago...How I miss Uni life!!! Malacca's been a part of me eventhough I spent only 1 year studying there. Ahh....the food! the PEOPLE!!!!!! Night safari???? I never knew it existed...

And while Emerald Park was where I stayed for a year......this is the NOW! where my friends stay..wah..so unfair lor. I cram with 9 students in the same unit...and with this new condo, only 4?? And having the unit facing the swimming pool......SO UNFAIR lor...I'm SOOOOOOO JEALOUS! I wish I could go back in time...

THIS THIS!! Condoliciosly georgeos environment

And of course......besides walking down memory lane...malacca's all about GOOD FOOD! All we look forward to everyday...........We gorged ourselves with FOOD, with the help of some local students. Thanks Mr Sam & Billy for loaning your house and car and bringing us around..hehe

if you ever drop by malacca, you have to COME HERE! coffee's slurpeee!

Just a glimpse of what we had in Malacca..ahh..heavenly!

silly me

OH i feel so silly......SILLY SILLY SILLY-Ly Stupid
I think God is sometimes funny

Sooooooooooo SILLY that I can't stop laughing about the incident....
In a way...it took away all nervousness
I was in "stone-ness.." that I didn't know how to react
oh...how silly...SILLY SILLY Silly-LY BLUR.

a layer of toxic

This picture was taken in Manila during our missions trip. It brought to my attention that our lives are sometimes like this picture. The clear bright sky filled with amazing clouds, only where birds can soar, where dreams could be build? And yet..a layer of polluted toxic covering the city which in reality, makes it ugly. So does it apply to our very own being. The issues at heart, the dirt, the unforgiveness, the bitterness, the pride, the selfishness, the self pity, the attitude problem, the anger, the struggles. Do we allow these circumstances to dominate us?

We allow these impureness to be drowned in our own little island, and not addressing the matter taking appropriate actions to deal with it. Only if these contaminated toxic could disappear..life could be better. But, I came to accept that God allows it to happen, so that we can grow, and get our lives right with God. That is if we CHOOSE to do our part. AND God will keep His covenant with us. After all, God is in control of our lives.

It is very easy to talk but not act upon it. We all struggle in bad times. It's easy to come to God and praise Him, give glory, thank Him when all's well. But when it comes to one of those "seasons", would we still stand firm in our faith? Letting God walk through us side by side or do we wish to be isolated. Well, honestly, I'm still learning. I don't have all the answers, I try to hold on. Rebuilding is the word.

Until the layer of pollution is lifted off, we'll still have that "ugly" side in us. Deal with it. Do something about it. Let's stop pollution, in other words, ACT upon these issues for He will give us the assurance.

Loved this song, thought I'll just share. This song was written by Ps Ollie Sebastian (Paradise Community Chrurch) taken from the Paradise Live - Set Me Free album.

Assuredly Yours

All that I am is in You

All that I seek is to follow You

I run to Your side when You call

There is the hope I am longing for

Just to be by your side

There is hope in my life

There is no greater freedom I'll find

Chorus

Take my life

And all that I have to give

Take my world

Just inhabit all of it

Take my dreams

Make me assuredly Yours

singapore idol fanatic

Hmm...been thrashing myself lately with singapore shows and therefore, singapore idol. Last night, Paul Twohill got voted OUT! Not exactly my favourite..well, honestly, I don't fancy any of the above. For me, I think Jonathan has the best voice...his sexy and jazzy, deep voice makes him sexy. haha.

It was pretty shocking for me to see young teenage girls crying buckets when Paul got voted out. Quite a scene...how emotionally involved they are.

But of course, I preferred this one..the first singapore idol

Or maybe.........This ONE!....You have to check this out!!Mua favourite!

attack of the hives

It's day 4 of ITCH attack...

and....the battle continues.........

a fragile life

Couldn't believe it when I first heard the breaking news about the ever famous Australian "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin killed by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Rief. More news here.

It cought me by surprise as well because it always catches my attention whenever he appears on tv and i just enjoy his documentaries. It's such a great loss. While having so much passion for the wild, endangering his own life, he cheats death most of the time. Unfortunately, not this time.
:( Leaving behind a legend. I'm sure gonna miss watching his shows. *sobs*

Which proves that our lives are fragile. Make full use of it.

ARGGHHHHHHH

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!

I'M DYING OF ITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just got back from the hospital..i got another 2 jabs...one straight into the vain the other on the arm...........and it hurts....and more medications.........wah lau eh..this is so suffering....

hives

I think I got myself into this allergy....

Hives are raised red welts of various size on the surface of the skin, often itchy, which come and go. Also called uticaria, hives is usually part of an allergic reaction to drugs or food. (I think for me, it was some insect bite or dust). The term "dermatitis" describes an inflammatory response of the skin, caused by contact with allergens or irritants, exposure to sunlight, or by poor circulation, even stress. AVOID SCRATCHING. (sorry it was TOO late...i scratched merely for 3 hours straight before getting another jab from the doctor at 2am........) Scratching the rash may spread the inflammation, lead to infection and even leave scars. (Tell me about it....:( )

One hallmark of hives is their tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.( disturbing my sleep due to the itchiness....) An outbreak that looks impressive, even alarming, first thing in the morning can be completely gone by noon, only to be back in full force later in the day. ( I pray i don't get it later...) Very few, if any other skin diseases occur and then resolve so rapidly.

Many substances can trigger hives
- Medications
- shellfish, fish, nuts, eggs, milk, and other foods
- Pollen
- Animal dander (especially cats)
- Insect bites

Hives may also develop from:
- Infections like mononucleosis or illness (including lupus, other autoimmune diseases, and leukemia)
- Emotional stress ( hahahahah.....MAYBE it was due to STRESS)
- Extreme cold or sun exposure
- Excessive perspiration

Conclusion...it's far worse then you can imagine..literally, you're scaratching every second...for me i tried to tahan for 3 hours..and i couldnt..finally, went to the doctor at 2am for a jab. At least I was not as afraid as before..hehe. Butt STING again! This time, left butt cheek. Healing took place instantaneous. I fell asleep right after the jab.

And this morning...the red patches begin to reappear again....................not as itchy...but it looks really bad. I've gotten myself an itch disease.......ughhhhhhhhhhhhh...........someone HELP ME!

sin jia poh

i finally made a day trip to our neighbouring country, singapore. I willingly made through and passed as the official driver for my dad. haha. first time driving in spore..ain't that bad! The only downside to it, is that i didn't manage much to scout around for chics and hunks. I had to be courteous of course..and looking out for pedestrians at zebra crossings..bla bla..Speed limit averaged at 90km/hr.. cannot wei!! TOO SLOW!

The purpose for the trip was to head down to queensway shopping centre..why? because 2 years back, when i was down south for sonicfest 2004, keng and hock brought me to their "indy" place to shop..and i found a shop seemed like heaven to me. *bling bling* EARRINGS! ever since, i've always wanted to go back to the same shop, but failed.

at last, from suntec city, me and my mum took a cab all the way to queensway. it was pouring and i wondered if it was worth the effort going through the EXPENSIVE cab fare..it costs me S$8.30!! Oh well, pretty disappointed as the shop has changed its settings and, not as many earrings as i looked forward too. But at least i had a cuppa coffee with mr marko tan who stays at queesntown. :) something eventful! haha

Headed back to great world city and went grocery shopping with my parents!!!!!! I'm so in love with singapore supermarts! Goodness gracious! i like ah! almost everything you see has a lil of diet ingredients..all for the sake of fitness. That's not exactly what i like, but it's the variety of imported things..well, you have banana gardenia breads..raisin gardenia..you have Ben & Jerrys...woohoo! you have pork knuckles..and the list goes on and on......*drools*

the best of it all is............... bus ads with my favourite, FIONA XIE on em...nose bleed! I just love her smile, love the way she looks, love her bubbly-ness! From the english local drama "Growing up" to the chinese sitcom "My genie" ....ahhhhhh....cannot help it! *melts* and oh..she's only 24?

Which always reminds me of one of my good friends who's away in spore with SIA now... don't you think they look alike? missing you Lynn!

Singapore was pretty fun..and who knows, someday I might just end up employed there. :)

Besides sunny singapore, I got another JAB today................my aunt sez, I looked too pale. I need more nutrition...ouch another sting on the butt.
