Posted by Philothea` @ Wednesday, June 29, 2005 | heal my wounds, oh Lord.
The monster is back again!
It's driving us crazy.
It's hurting us deeply.
It's twisting facts
and spinning stories.
It belongs to the asylum.
YET.

Posted by Philothea` @ Tuesday, June 28, 2005 | Astoria really baked cookies for me today, yay! So sweet of her (:
I like cookies and brownies, yummy!
This evening,
Dharni and I behaved like innocent children who were highly thrilled at the sight of candies, as we sat down at Jupiter Cafe and consumed almost a whole packet of sugar jelly. I stand a higher chance of contracting diabetes now.
had meatballs spaghetti for dinner (I miss my swedish meatballs!)
while Dharni's mother gave me a lift to ToaPayoh (whr Dharni had his vocal lessons) since it's nearer for me to get home frm there.
I'm done wif Jap presentation yesterday! phew`
but,
I'm still worried sick for my InMa1 and DiEss.
IMDP2, TV Pro, Jap listening test are not getting anywhr better.

Posted by Philothea` @ Friday, June 24, 2005 | It feels totally good to be home after such a long day.
These days, I'm extremely busy.
There's so much to do;
deadlines; presentation; assignments; submission;
I wanna sneak away and catch a movie.
Even if you date me out, I can't possibly agree cos'
I'm pathetically penniless.
Though money would be rolling in next week when I get my pay,
after settling all the bills, I'd only enjoy an empty pocket AGAIN.
I was filled with sorrow this afternoon;
felt so lousy and tired.
had to borrow the video equipment and
carried them home for filming the next day.
it's heavy and it makes me clumsy.
Just when I tot my bus had finally arrived,
I couldn't stretch my hands in time to flag for it,
it went ahead without me.
The driver kinda realised my presence and the bus came to a halt slightly outta the bus stop. Then, the equipment slipped off my hands and fell off to the ground. It's weird how the bus driver ignored me thereafter and really drove off this time. Oh, I've to wait another 30mins for 966. I know this sounds really silly, but I was actually driven to tears. Guess I was really feeling down. Fuji's call was my consolation. Sometimes, it's really useful talking to someone. This morning, I realised how it made my day when I bumped into a friend which I haven't seen for a long time. Even simple greetings can make me smile (:
On a brighter note,
I was attentive in DiEss class 2dae and completed my work fast.
had my first official YS CG at NE's hq whr everyone is present this time.
fun games; laughter; gave thanks; phototaking; food; presents; Celebrated Shuz's bdae! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, shuz! You're kinda adorable! heez.
My day has only just began.
I seem to have interesting dreams almost everyday.
think I shall write a bk entitled "My philolicious dreams".
Anyway, I'd like to give thanks
to the Holy one
Give thanks
bcos he's given Jesus Christ, his son
And now let the weak say I'm strong
Let the poor say I'm rich
bcos of what the Lord had done for us
Give thanks...
this hymm is trapped in my mind.
Not a bad thing at all.
By the way, thnks Emme, for ya belated birthday treat at sakae sushi.
Had fun with you and shiyi. yepps, dun forget our next buffet date and perhaps, Amore days ahead. Cheerios!

Posted by Philothea` @ Sunday, June 19, 2005 | I must blog something which i tot it's really humorous before I go to bed.
Had lunch with my cg at ISLE cafe this afternoon.
Ee voon started sharing:
Ee Voon: do you know sth funny abt the store i ordered food frm?
Us: What? What! What's with it?
Ee voon: Wheneva there's any dish on the menu that's nt avaliable, there'll be a sign beside it that says ON LEAVE. It has been that way for one year till the manager realised his diction.
Us: Wahahaha Lol.
we're not trying to put down the store managers for their poor english,
but can you imagine with me,
the food saying that you can't order it today cos I'm ON LEAVE.
yes. ON LEAVE. it tickles my tummy and I can't stop LOL wheneva I think of it.
thank God it has changed to NOT AVALIABLE.
gosh. sth horrible happened also.
was feeling so exhaused on the way home today.
actually fell aslp when I'm on the escalator down from the MRT.
lend forward without holding on to the side and fell a step down.
I must be dreaming or some sorta.
Thank God I didn't lose my balance totally or I'll be tumbling down the escalator.
I was too tired and shocked at myself,
to realise I was in such an embarrassing state.
I hurried home,
only to recall the incident now.

Posted by Philothea` @ Saturday, June 18, 2005 | I'm procrastinating right now, AGAIN!
still haf plenty of work to do, but I'm still a faithful blogger afterall.
Anyway it seems like alot peeps are back frm their church camps.
for the past two weeks, I had two church camps in a row.
9-12 June Family Church Camp @JB, Garden Eden Hotel
12-14 June Youth Church Camp @NUS, Kent Ridge Hall
and I've tons of pics to upload. at least 500 of them.
Apart from that, I've been such a workaholic for the past weeks.
Stress, gone without sleep, irregular meals, earlier arrival of my menstruation, and worst of all, pimples outbreak! :(
but I've battled them all and I promised myself beauty sleep ahead. All the hardwork had not been in vain. Results may not be as tangible right now, but I know exactly what I'm doing and I enjoyed almost every single bit of it. I've gotten to know so many wonderful peeps in just one week and their lives are reflections of such humble, generous, sacrificial, energetic and enduring spirits.
Thanks Jeryln, Edwin, ShuZhen, XinYi, Ee Voon, Michael, the youth camp volunteers and all the other superheros behind the scenes including sherli and shung who slogged the entire day for baking more than 200brownies for the fundraising efforts! You guys have enabled me to learn and appreciate much more through your lives :)
So many details, I don't even know where to begin.
All the excitement began on 10 June 2005
rushed home straight after digital essentials,
picked my youngest bro up,
with all the baggages and luggages,
met up with mummy to travel across the causeway,
only to realise mummy had left her passport at home!
frustration doesn't amt to any solutions,
called caleb JW to bring it down,
finally,took bus, took cab,
arrived at JB, Garden Eden Hotel. oh yay!
FIR was holding an outdoor concert beside it.
groans after registration,
dinner had been cleared away,
oh thank God there was a shopping centre right beside the hotel.
Marybrown and delifrance were the main options left.
even the foodcourt was closed! it was only 8pm. Oh yes,that was not singpore.
delifrance at malaysia aren't cheap at all, pathetic half of the menu is avaliable,
no utensils displayed except a few knifes and forks, horrible service,
and I'll save you from the rest of my complaints.
Stayed at Mutiara Hotel for the 2 nights, shared room wif mummy and my youngest bro, it's way betta den New York Hotel (stayed there last yr). Mummy did her shopping, JH spent the camp wif his own cg. JJ participated in the Hope Kids programme and I went on with my oh so sweet new cg.
Like every other church camp, it was awesome!
God's presence so evident among congregation,
revival; refreshed heart; renewed mind; genuine fellowship;
rarely there's such an great opportunity for the family grp, working adults, young adults, tertiary, youth and kids to gather together as 2000+ unified body of Christ. It's simply so heartwarming to witness how God is moving among the different grps!
Talent night blew my mind away! Talents unleashed in the most fascinating fashion; various performance that sparkled with so much humour kept me LOL all the way.
When they showed the entries of My Church, My home, it just melts my heart away.
okies, i've to pause here for now. I can't stop blinking and yawning. looks like sleeping is more impt rite nw. brb tmr! :x

Posted by Philothea` @ Sunday, June 05, 2005 | I know this may sound kinda childish, but I want the giant helium frisbee! My bro said it's called the 'hover disc'. Anyway, I received my SnowCity work pay today! That makes me $56 richer. Haha. It's a pretty decent amt for just a day, 7 hours , huh? I enjoyed working there! It's quite fun and relaxing. I'm still wondering when's my next working day, why wld they take so long to plan our work schedule.
Today's my last church service with NF and I'm probably be attending the 2nd service in future. It doesn't seem to make much different to me right now, but I'm certain that I'd really be missing those North darlings, soon, very much. Thanks, dearies, for all your sweet letters. Actually, I feel good about this transfer. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be eager to bid you guys farewell. I do appreciate all your love for me but sumhow, I don't feel it as much. Maybe I've shut the door of my heart, concealing my true tots and supressed my emotions. Maybe. Afterall, it was my own initiative to leave. Could I've fallen into the permissible plans of God? Puns, Irony, Foolishness, Stubborness. A mere facet? I'm no angel, saint or wadeva. I've struggles, I fall, I fail at times. If you can't identify with me, at least, don't be too quick to judge me. I promised that I'd move on and remain in Him.
Random tots engulfed my entire being.
But one thing, for sure,
I wanna start afresh with you, oh Lord, everyday of my life; to walk with you, in the good and the strifle. You're my friend, you're my father for all times. Nothing can keep us apart. You're the lover of my heart. It's in You that I've the faith; to stand up and be strong. Thank you, God, for your immeasurable love that drives me to believe, to envision hope and dreams. I walk by faith, and not by sight.
My TMR
dance class;
my first YS CG;
PC fair;
projects, assignments, homework
and the list goes on.

Posted by Philothea` @ Thursday, June 02, 2005 | bring in the fuji apples,
and the original strawberry pocky sticks
if only you knew how much difference lil things would create;
if only you knew how to make my day.
i need to smile;
or maybe even laugh.
how i yearn for a break
even so,
would you read to me
charlie and the chocolate factory
and gently tug me to bed?
would you be there for me even when i fall?
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up right
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me Wanting to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

Posted by Philothea` @ Wednesday, June 01, 2005 | I like to blog occasionally, so don't expect to see new updates everyday.
Today was probably my last cg wif NF1 at himyi's house.
This sunday, I'd meet up with my new cg members. I've heard of their names and see them ard but I still haven't got to know them personally.
Had to rush straight to sch for IMDP2. Left after leading Sermon Discussons and I turned out to be early for class.
I just recalled of last friday's MCG. It was kinda hilarious. Received a last min confirmation that Karen's maid cldn't help with the food preparations so Carmen and I had to deal with it. It was nt that serious. We just have to work out in the kitchen. But for two complete iderts like us, things were a lil messy. We had no problem with the sausages and hashbrowns. But when it came to the bee hoon, we really had some difficulties. That was the first time I tried cooking fried bee hoon without any supervision!I don't really haf an idea how it's supposed to do done exactly. We tried to make use of wadeva we had...limited resources avaliable in the kitchen! Beat the eggs, slice the sausages, a lil ginger and onions...went unto the pan and fried them all. We dumped the bee hoon on the wok after soaking it in cold water, started twisting and tossing them, mixed with dark soya sauce. It was a tiring hand exercise! Gosh, it turned out to be a dry and tasteless lump! Then, we realised that we were supposed to soak the bee hoon in boiled water first, not any cold water. We threw the crappy lump away and we finally succeeded on our second attempt. It turned out quite delicious, or at least 100% edible. Nobody who ate it had stomachache nor diarrhoea. Haha (:
IMD P2 was a breeze today and we didn't had to present anything! phew` if not I would have stumbled over all my words, I wasn't even clear of my concept. It's great to have Sharon as my lecturer.
I gave the IMD bbq a miss since class ended earlier than expected, couldn't be bothered to wait for at least another 50mins and I was really hungry already. Off to town with my fuji for takashimaya's OMU RICE! Yummy! Also dropped by MeowMoo's booth to see how they were doing and did a lil shopping.
30 May 2005 Yesterday,
Language Of Film: Alfie taught Cinematography. It didn't occur to me that watching movies could be so intensive! We watched excerpts from a few movies and analysed the lightings. My eyes were weary. Still gotta do a write up for Edward's scissorshands.
& Jap class: Suzuki Yayoi sensei is so kawaii! My topic for the upcoming presentation is on Japanese Animations. I wished I had gotten Japanese films instead. Will start on my research soon.
Dinner and shopping with aunt Dorothy, cousins, Mummy and my bros after sch. Aunt Dorothy got mummy a new phone and Mummy was overwhelmed with joy cos she finally got rid of her pathetic 3310.
My house's constantly in a shambles with my bros fooling ard. Holidays for them and more disturbance for me. Oh wells, at least i can have more excuses to skip some household chores and leave them to fulfil their responsibilities.
