HELLO 2009!

2008 is ending soon and in no time, *poof* 2009 is here.

2008 had definitely enriched my life abundantly, be it Friendship, Leadership, Studies, Relationship with God, my life is nearly turned 180 degrees for the better. The year 2008 had shown me the true friends I'm blessed with, the "art" of leading the school and the student leaders, the tedious O levels and most importantly, the wonders and miracles of the Lord.
2008 is probably the best year dated in my life yet. I can't simply just pen down ALL that had happened but it certainly was a great year. Thank you ALL that had made my year a wonderful one!

This was something i was telling Vanessa in the first half of this year:
Everything has it's way to fall in place nicely

There's a second part to it(i just added):
because the Lord has His hands in it.

This is going to be my motivation and encouragement for the year 2009! Hope it will be yours too! :D

Packed Packed Packed!

haha, there are 2 meaning to that title. One was that i packed the WHOLE cupboard of past year textbooks and worksheets, the second, my week was/had been packed, (:

Packing textbooks in my brother's room was a mean feat! but i did it anyway. I managed to clear half the cupboard, throwing away my PRIMARY 4, 5, 6, SECONDARY 1 & 2 worksheets/textbooks and my brother's SECONDARY 2, 3 & 4 Worksheets/textbooks. Mind you, it's tons and tons of them! The rag-and-bone man is going to earn alot from us, haha. Spent approximately 4 hours to look through what was needed, what was not, what can be used again, what cannot be used again, what can be donated and what can't be donated. Wow, I didn't know how i managed to survive that tedious ordeal. Next time, if you want to keep your textbooks and worksheets, think again. Wow, i make it sound really bad. :/

For the PAST week I had been out almost everyday. :/

I was just browsing through my photos that I managed to salvage and i chanced upon the Kaleidoscope album. Memories just flooded back while the video of our 2 SYF pieces played! Fond recollections overload! Those were the days. I MISS THOSE DAYS! :( But I somehow believe, God will plant more wonderful and fonder memories in years to come! Give Thanks to the Lord! (:

Oooho! Tmr's another BBQ with the Tribe at my place! How much fun we'll have! Anyway, it's potluck cum BBQ so there will be loads of food (:

Oh, such a long post.

Thursday - Walk with Dad

Had an enjoyable time with my Dad on the Kent Ridge trail. Walked about 6km? Yup, got to see the Hort Park and the Henderson Bridge that was so nice! But the walk was held up by a huge downpour with lightning and thunder midway. Actually we had not embarked on the trail proper. We stayed under the Pavilion waiting for the rain to subside before we started again. Good thing we prepared ponchos. If not we'll be drenched! :/

Friday - Day out with Limxi

Went to Central with Xixi to the Japanese mart! they sell everything from sweets to cooking ingredients! They have the Calpis drink (drool Jill! haha!). Still feeling the Japan Fever after our trip (: We were slightly disappointed at the Japanese Souvenir store cause we were expecting something better though. But boy, Central mall has many cute stuff! They made Limxi and i pulling out our purse to buy them! We bought some cute handicraft sets to kill time during the next week (: Then we headed for Plaza for lunch and caught a movie! (: Had such a great time (:

P.S Can't upload the photos ):

HOKKAIDO/TAIPEI

Back! couple of days ago :X

How i wish i can go back to Japan! The weather's great, scenery are wonderful, the food's fantastic! what more can you ask for right? But on the downside, i gained weight! Sigh, all the irresistible delights, just makes your mouth water, literally. That arm of yours just can't fight the temptation.

You eat, you grow fat. Sigh. But but they are all happy fats... haha, am i making sense? Anyway, Japan and Taiwan are the best places to pig out.

Some photos that marked my journey to Hokkaido and Taipei (:
