According to my stats there are STILL people coming here, as recent as today. Hi stalkers thanks for visiting, don't know what entertainment you derive from my lack of updates but I'm flattered anyway.

This week I joined a new family. There are really only two kinds of people in this world: those who have been to WKWSCI FOC, and those who haven't. Came back from camp on friday and so many people have asked me how it was. And after trying so many times to give a good answer I kinda gave up. No matter how many times I say it was AWESOME or EPIC or MINDBLOWING, all these adjectives just don't cut it. Finally I settled on, "Cannot describe in words la. You just had to be there" Haha but my heart still feels super GEK after telling people that because I want them to understand just how _____________ (don't know what word to use here) it was....haha but words really don't cut it.

Just came back from service and worship was especially good today. Felt awesome to be back in the house of God cos it somehow feels like I've been away for very long (even though all I missed during camp was one care group) Thought about the three wishes we made at the start of the year, and out of the three two have already come true. #1, I got the results I wanted. And FOC fulfilled #2 - to find a faculty that I can truly call home. 2 out of 3 and it's only July. God is good indeed.

Maybe I'll be back, maybe I won't. Dear stalkers you may follow me at tttttami.tumblr.com though the things I reblog are all quite pointless ;)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi to the two people who actually still come here. It's been a long time since the last time, just as it has been a long month for me. 

General updates:
One, a certain big dream crashed and burned. But out of this I'm beginning to see how what I've been given instead is going to turn out to be such a God-given gift and an overflow of grace. It might be kind of hard to see it sometimes, but I know it's there.

Two, it's been a tough month emotionally. I've been forced to rely so much more on my Father who's always there for me, and I see many things a lot differently now.

Three, I love my job even though sometimes after lunch I fall asleep at my desk.

Four, KL IN EIGHT DAYS. Camp is going to be mindblowingly life-changing.

Five, regarding the thing coming this Fri: my loyalties, as always, lie with
DIE MANNSCHAFT

Psalm 20:4

May is going to be pretty big. Turning 19, ending my time at a familiar place, then starting my time at an unfamiliar place, and finally getting an idea of where I'm going to enrol come August and thus the general direction my life is going to head in. I started April hoping that my time spent at attachment will confirm that what I applied for is truly what I want for the rest of my life, and after one month, I still like what I've seen and I guess now I want it more than ever. I know that God has put this in my heart for a reason...and whatever comes out of it will be nothing but a blessing whether it turns out to be an acceptance or rejection. Just knowing this has kept me feeling pretty sane and restful as the weeks of reckoning draw closer and closer. If I get it, praise God and I know He will bring me thorough all the times when "the shit hits the fan" (wise words from a wise anaesthetist), and if I don't, well I admit it will bite but I know it means that I'm meant to prosper somewhere else. At least I won't be still studying for exams when I'm 30. More wise words from the same wise anaesthetist: Many years from now, you will look back and realise that many things that you didn't want to happen but happened will turn out to be blessings in disguise.

Until then...fingers crossed and praying hard!!!

Only 2 words I can use to describe results: God's grace!!! Undeserved unearned unmerited favour x100000000 till now when I think about it all I feel is, WOW.

One year ago, while watching the seniors come back to school to collect their results I remember telling my friends all about how when it's my turn I won't be able to eat and sleep for the entire week leading up to results...hahaha what a joke actually. The night before 5th march I had a real good sleep and woke up after 10 and happily had a very carb-filled pasta lunch plus yoghurt after :D Amazing what prayer can do to your heart (and your appetite) huh

On the way to lunch on friday I went to collect my phone from repairs ($116 bucks btw THATS MORE THAN ONE DAY OF WORK. ALMOST TWO. x_x) and the very first sms I got once I turned it on was from Dawn luv of my life and it was the most awesome sms ever about how God was planting signs that everything could only turn out to be good right in the middle of Popular, of all places. Heh Dawn that's an sms I'll save for a long long time aren't you honoured!!!

Right now I have alot of thinking to do, and after a pretty srs talk with my mum last night I realised that maybe decision-making for uni isn't so simple after all. But trusting that God will only bring me places where He will prosper me, so I'll just do alot of application spammage these couple of weeks and see where I end up :)

Only complaint I have right now is...maybe I shld've studied a little harder for Chinese. 7 is the number of perfection after all ;)

Kidding!! I already have all that I ever ever EVER could've asked for.

Hello everybody as of right now prelims books together with all the written work I did in preparation for the exams are still lying around my desk, my entry proof is still in its plastic folder, and my registration slip is still pinned to my board as if I still need it to remind me of my exam schedule. I'm such a total sloth lol bet everyone else has already long thrown away/sold/packed all their A lvl shit.

But anyway today I finally did something about it, but only because I'm going to give alot of my notes away to my cousin. And as crazy as this sounds, despite all the pain all these sheets of paper have caused me over the past 2 years I'm kinda reluctant to give it away!!! 2 years of my blood sweat and tears after all. Ok I lie. Not 2 years, maybe like 9 months ha ha because everyone knows no one puts in blood sweat and tears in J1 (omg my cousin is going to see all my test papers with Unbelievable and Superb grades hahaha talk about embarassing)

So I decided to take a last flip through my notes because after all I was totally dating them for that entire period of time. I'll ttly miss them!! And I found so much hidden nonsense between the pages I just had to remember:

Omg I know this is so abandoned but we all know that the number of times you do inane things like blog or tweet is proportional to the amount of actual work you have to do. Amazing how it's only been 2 months and a day since the day sweet freedom came and since the last time I actually, really used my brain. Realised that my brain isn't that mouldy after all - managed to explan anaerobic respiration to my brother the other day and it all came back to me in a rush - but I also took about half an hr to solve a sec 2 algebra question. But then again you know me and math....

Anw this month I'm kinda taking a break from work and trying to get hired somewhere else, preferably somewhere I get to use my brain everyday, get to wear nice office clothes and shoes, and get to hang around shenton way and feel important. It's been tough though, no one really wants to hire me after they find out about my attachment in apr ): Guess I'll continue trying my luck after april - will be restful about it and trust that it will all work out. Dream job as of now would either be to secure an internship somewhere in the print media industry (Cheryl knows I'm aiming for STYLE MEN) or in the church office for the media comms ministry - which would be great, serving God doing what I know and love best. Right now I am living from paycheck to paycheck (wake up everyday counting down to payday - 40 HOURS AS OF NOW) and holymoly in march I will have no $$$ to spend!!! A month of paying adult fare already and I still haven't stopped swearing in my head everytime I tap out

Hi everyone meet current wallpaper and love of my life James Franco. Okay not only love of my life, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the other one (Did you know he makes damn sexy music???) Ha ha as you can tell post A levels without a proper 9 to 5 job has made my brain mouldy. On days I'm not working I spend hours trawling the net for links to all the James Franco/JRM movies in history and while waiting for those to load I catch up on Ugly Betty and Glee (which is rly awesome btw). So many illegally uploaded videos, so little time.

Anyway, after 1214923598235032 days of procrastination, I have finally submitted my app sooooo....all in God's hands now. Only thing left is to mail over all my supporting documents and omg I don't know if I have to send ALL of them, like including those for cts cos ct2 was so embarassing. Maybe I'll just conveniently leave that one out haha

I'm officially financially independent now btw :D Must say it is pretty damn awesome although damn painful because the real world is an expensive place. First thought that runs through my head whenever I tap out of the bus or train is 'WTH OMG WHY SO EX' but I'm getting better, I'm just learning not to look anymore whenever I tap out. I thought being financially independent means I could go crazy shopping...guess not. Many more paychecks to go before that happens. No idea how happy I am that my mother paid for my new year clothes. Everything takes on a whole new meaning when the trip from Khatib to Bishan costs ONE THIRTY

Didn't post an end-of-2009 post like I usually do, but figured one to mark the start of 2010 was a must. Even though I'm here alot less these days, guess it's because there's alot less things in my life to complain about right now heehee

Looking back on 2009, all I remember is the library, common tests, lugging prelim books everywhere, the library, conquering prelims, back to the library, being best friends with my gc, prelim paper after prelim paper after prelim paper, raffles discovery being one of my most visited sites, raffles discovery being a bitch and constantly going under maintenance, more time in the library, data booklet and mf15 almost disintegrating after so much use, counting down to november 10 and finally finally making it to december 3.

Would be kinda hard to make resolutions for 2010 because I have no idea what's going to happen for me this year. School life was always easy to make resolutions for: Do all my homework, ace the exams, train hard, win the gold, stay awake all the time, be a nicer friend. Even though the future for this year is kinda foggy, I'm excited it's that way. Srsly up till now, some days I can't believe just how FREEEE I am and how I don't have to start and end the day with a prelim paper or something. Amazing feeling.

10 best pictures of 2009 )

Glad the year is over, and I made it through the entire A level process with my brain and sanity still intact. Many things will change alot over this year, without school to spend time with the people I'm most familiar with. Guess it's inevitable that many relationships will change and people will drift apart, but I firmly believe the friends I'm meant to keep in the long term will continue to stay in my life. Gna submit my apps soon and after that I'll just leave what happens next up to God :)
