guys i'm back. haaa... gary told me i haven't blogged for quite long... but it's only like 2 days! hehe. the 'professional blogger' syndrome i guess.
these days have been busy, well it's good cos i'm busy serving in the cellgroup. and no one is going to stop me. i know what i want and i know that God is going to give me a great destiny, amen? this sunday the guitar class is gonna start! my members [esp the brothers] are really excited and it makes me feel so excited about teaching them. last night sister sherling shared with me that our cellgroup vision is to multiply in april and then again, we'll go into 4 cellgroups again. i was like... 4 cellgroups? wah! praise God but that also means i have to play for 4 cellgroups, which is quite impossible. i won't mind playing 4 times but i don't tink i can squeeze that time out. ya, and that's exactly what my leader thinks too. i need to raise up guitarists for her by then! well, gary, cedric, jon, ryan, gwyn, peijing, venus and paulina, if u're reading this u know what i mean ya? *luffs. get ur guit out and start practicing! *LOL
i couldn't sleep last night. i went to bed at 2am after i finished settling my cellgroup things [i sleep around that time everynight, so if i tell u i have alot of cellgroup things to do (which includes planning, praying, tinking, calling up etc) I AM NOT KIDDING YOU. well, if i say i don't have time to go out with you, please let me off okay?] ok back to story, i was nearly drifting into dreamland when my phone rang. from den, i couldn't sleep at all. and i am not amused, cos it's not an urgent call at all.
today i took halfday leave, so i'd be joining my cellgroup members to do friendship evangelism at bishan. den will be going out with jon and gary. so today, i'd be with my members! *excited. *luffs. wunder if jon and gary with bring their guitars... which is highly impossible, cos they're going to school. should i bring mine den?? *ponders. not sure.

left the place at 11.15pm cos i wanted to catch the last bus back to punggol.
now i need to plan out my guitar class schedule, cos now yun,na and zhen wanna join my class too. now i have like 3 groups of students... hmm. tink i can afford to squeeze out at most 2 slots. 3 is realli too much for me le. i dun wanna lose my focus on cellgroup ministry.

went to davis today! jon bought the fina 2003... it's nice. tempted to get it too, but i must be focused on getting a plug in guitar. ryan also bought a fina, but another model. cedric will be buying tomoro and gary on friday. i bumped into shaokun at davis. so coincidental, everytime i bring my members to buy guitar, will bump into him liddat. the previous time i bumped into him was at luther. carter dropped by at about 7pm... after my members bought the guitars, they went home... shaokun, cart and i went to mac.
the guitar lesson will start this sunday! finally...
hmm, nothing much to blog today.

Don't look at me
Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom, ooh
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone
Ain't that the way it is
'Cause you are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Ohh no
'Cause you are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(The sun will always, always, shine)
And tomorrow we might awake
On the other side
'Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down
Ohh no
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today
Ooh, ohh
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down, ooh
Today

today is the first cellgroup meeting of the year! i met up with the marsiling students before the discipleship to practise for the friendship evangelism workshop. it was really fun... i think all of them are really good actors and actresses! i didn't attend much of the discipleship cos stanley and brother vic came and i had to practise praise with stanley at the kitchen. the whole place was packed! cos we combined with brother vic's cellgroup and i tink there were at least 40 people there. it was sooooo hot! after i played guitar for praise, i was perspiring like crazy... i led worship today and we sang 'one desire' [my fave song!].
after cellgroup, sis sher and i went to orchard to buy new year clothes... me met sis meiyi at admiralty to go down together. we met bro jincai and bro tony at orchard. it's sooooo crowded! usually i'd not shop if there's so mani ppl, but i have no choice cos time is running out and i need new clothes! bro eugene and sis pei'en joined us sometime later. i was so tired, but thank God i managed to buy 2 new tops. i tink i need jeans, but i was too tired to think, so i didn't buy. think i must go and buy tmr. i need a new bag and a new pair of shoes also. how? don't tink i have enuff money.
i'm so tired now... i tink i must go and sleep le. nitey

hmm... tiring day! think i must exercise more *haaa... cos recently get tired very easily... and there's so many things to do, so i muz keep myself strong and healthy so that i can continue to serve God ya?
today is peijing's birthday so we celebrated for her! we had alot of fun at the riviera and since we had no meeting or discipleship after that, we all went off... the younger ones went home. carter asked me to go far east with him, audrey and veroy... and since his friend is driving, so i decided to go down. *haaa. his friend dropped us at bishan so we had to take train down... i was super hungry when i reached far east! we went to some ramen restaurant(which plays techno...) to eat. today is the first time i went out with veroy, he's a nice frenly funky guy! i was pretty tired today so i didn't talk much... actualli i talk alot one k... *haaa. i didn't really shop, cos i was on the fone most of the time, szehui and jingyi called me to conference chat, and here and there i was thinking of cellgroup stuff. tmr i muz really get my shopping done... going to far east (again!) after cellgroup.
i want to practice my guitar! but now cannot le... too late liaoz. before my neighbours come after me with a chopper, my mum would be scolding me already. hah. mayb i should get a guitar room that's totally sound proof? ya... dream on.
just now during service, i suddenly thought of alot of immediate goals that i wanna set for myself. more prayer time, more guitar time, and more SLEEP time! hehe. can i ask for 8hours of sleep everyday? 8hours of sleep + 9hours of work + 2 hours of travelling time + 2hours of guitar time + 1 hour of prayer time + 1hour of followup time + 2hours of miscellaneous time [which includes bathing, washing up, changing, makeup etc]+ 1hour of internet time = 26hours. hmm... so, i should cut down on my sleep time?

it's 1.06am... i'm so tired *collapsing
recently have been really busy with cellgroup and it's really my heart's desire that more helpers rise up! it's really fantastic to see so many friends coming every week, but we also need laborers to contain the harvest. suddenly i feel that 24hrs a day is not enuff... *panting. but it's great to know that the time i spent is on God and His people.
when i got home this evening, i decided to take an hour's rest... in the end, i overslept and i woke up in shock. the first thing i did was jump out of bed, take my phone out and started calling and calling... and eating my dinner in the midst. my mum must be wondering what i am busy with these days. well, i'm busy tending the business of God! i haven't finished some of the calling yet... gotta continue tomoro after work i guess... so should i go for the choir practice tomoro? hmm... i need to, cos i didn't learn my part well... on the other hand i need the time to call up some people too. God, gimme like 26hours tmr? *hehe
i better go and rest now... *backache. *eyes closing. *skin on my nose peeling [due to dehydration]. *sobz
p/s: thanx to all of u who came and visited my blog. so cool to see new people coming to see... :)

i'm at home now! was home like an hour ago, after my interview at Yishun Family Service Centre. I was pretty nervous i guess, cos i didn't even know whether i should smile or not, and if i had nodded my head too many times while the lady was interviewing me... but no worries! cos God is with me and i know if the job is for me, it'd be MINE~hehe. later i'd be going to work le.. cos i only took half day's leave.
tomoro there's another interview at CDC at 5pm. gotta leave early from work. but the interview place is @ Toa Payoh, so near my current work place (SPH,Braddell) .
last night i went for choir practice... all my zone choir members not going 'cept for me! *argh. and i forgot to bring my tape recorder cos i need to record down the parts... (my memory's very bad..). thank God i met up with Fifi and Bibi to go together and got to know a new friend called Tracy! *nice. we went to the coffee shop for dinner and regina came and look for me. den gotta rush and buy carter's Zinger cos he's late i guess. we learnt 2 new songs! during the practice got to know another girl from SVC 5, Ivy. i seem to know more choir members from SVC 5 den my own SVC...
after practice, Brother J auditioned some of us for Children's Church singer... dunno will be selected or not? Brother J also said that Bibi and i look alike... *O_o is she really my long-lost sis? why like everyone say we look alike? after we told Brother J our names, he got mixed up again and he asked like 3 times who is who... *haha
Fifi, Bibi and I decided to take cab home cos we're really tired *yawnz.
when i got home, i called sis sher and we talked for very very long. initially was about cellgroup and den she told me that i had been selected for the leadership interview. *hmm. hope it goes well... (recently like alot of interviews leh..)
after that i shared alot of things with her and i really enjoyed talking to her.
ohya, this sunday having combine cellgroup with e254. initially i was supposed to lead praise, but now stanley will lead and i can lead wOrsHip! *yippee. heh... will be singing 'we lift up our eyes above the troubles' and 'one desire'.

yesterday, rena and i were choosing middle names for ourselves.
in the bible, the people's names are all very significant, and somehow or rather, they'd become like their names or, they're just like what their names imply. yesterday was reading the bible and there's this guy named Nabal and it means 'fool'! well indeed, he's a foolish guy and he ended up dead due to his folly.
so i guess, i must choose a good name for myself!
'clarise' mean 'clear and bright'.
so i decided to have a name that means 'star'! so that my name will mean 'clear and bright star'. isn't that kewl? *hee
i searched on the net and i found this french name which means star... Etoile.
it's pronounced as 'at-twa-l'. sounds abit weird but it's french and it's cool! *haha
my cellgroup member, grace, and my french friend, by, helped me on the pronounciation... thanx!
should i use etoile? rena and joseph says that stella(also means star) is nice. i feel that it's nice and simple to remember... and pronounceable...
but i like etoile too! which one?

yeah, today is pretty blue for me. was quite tired still in the morning, pulled myself up and went to wash up.. still very tired. *lack of sleep.
i walked to the mrt station and felt better. on the train, i fell asleep and i felt terrible. the feeling of lethargy. i was thinking whether i should take the day off to rest... i haven't been sleeping well at all for the past week, cos i always have piles of work to do at night... *yawnz
nevertheless, i went to work and i felt quite sick... feel very giddy and just not myself. i finished off my work for the first half of the day and told my boss, jason, that i need the day off. he said ok and i left after lunching with jean.
i took the train and i dropped off at orchard to do some quick new year shopping, cos i guess i'd have no time to shop at all... if i dun do it today. [i've gotta go home everynight after work to do calling, wednesday might have choir prac (even if there isn't, i'd be going home to do calling again)... thursday visitation and friday calling too. saturday discipleship, bible studies and service... sunday gotta play for 2 cellgroups and after that gotta meet cheeboon to settle our handphone things, cos my phone number is under his name and vice versa. gotta settle it soon or else, it's gotta be so troublesome in future.]
i bought 2 pants from Giordano [i went to alot of shops, but none of the cuttings suit me and none of the materials i like, i always always end up in giordano... most of my casual pants are from there], a purple top from far east [it's cool, might be going back to get another top from there], a pair of earrings and a bracelet from mtv and nail polish from sasa. think that's about all. i was almost about to collapse when i was done. i thought i was going to have fever again... felt very tired and hot. went home quickly and hit the bed. ~dreamland again.
carter called me and woke me up. *argh. he wanted to go and makan, i told him i've got loads of stuff to do... not today, unless he come to punggol and meet me and fifi and bibi. he agreed *surprised. but he only came like 9.30pm cos he took the wrong bus. hahaha. the 3 of them ate, but i disciplined myself...hahaha. i drank green tea. *thumbsup!
tmr is CCNight... yay. stay tuned guys.

yo guys! the weekend had been busy yet fun and fulfilling... right now, i'm at work, but i am so sleepy... i didn't have enough sleep last night... *yawn. but thank God i managed to wake up on time to go to work! *yay
saturday, e168 had our reunion dinner at sis sher's place and then we went for sun's concert @ indoor stadium. sis sher made spaghetti for us, with crab meat and sausage and mushrooms! *yummy. howe finished the final lot of the food. *big-eater!
we were slightly late for the concert, cos we had to settle the payment for the lightstix and shuttle bus. and also becos some of the people were late... but thank God when we went in, the concert was only just about to start.
the concert was fantastic! sun's costumes are all so nice, i loved the first one she wore, she looks like a really hip angel! and i also love the blue gown she wore, so fluffy and sweet, she looks like a princess! and also the gold sparkling suit she wore, looks very smart and stylo! joseph took photos, must get from him!
the concert ended quite late.. like 11pm? my cellgroup members had to run to the bus, cos the bus uncle had waited for quite long already. but thank God the uncle was nice and he waited until like 11.30pm for everyone to board the bus. lewis and his friends saw us and he boarded the bus too cos he's heading that area too (woodlands).
after that, i had a big problem. it's 11.30pm, how to go home?? i was very sad when shuzhen told me that they're taking cab and they had enough people already. i didn't have enuff cash to take cab and they're abandoning me??? how could they do that? but after that, they decided not to take cab too cos they're tight on cash too. so we walked to the bus stop and we took number 10 to tampines for supper. *i was famished! shared a bowl of hot and spicy ramen with shuzhen... den i took cab home. *tired.
sunday. woke up at 8.40am... i rushed and rushed like crazy. and when i stepped out of the house, it was running!!! oh no.. not at this time? i'm running late! i rushed to the econ minimart to buy some sweets for the new friends who're coming and den i wanted to take bus to paya lebar and change cab to indoor stadium. but guess what? i took the wrong bus and it took me to punggol interchange. oh no! of all places, there? there're no cabs there. i had to call a cab and guess what? it came 20min later! what's the point of calling cab den? *luffs. well well, sometimes things just go wrong, but they'd end up right with God ya? that's exactly the point. i got on the cab, rushed to SIS (cab fare was.... $15. *murder!) i ran up the stairs and saw a L.O.N.G queue. wow. when i got in, i R.A.N to the west side and i tried looking for A32. and i saw Ian Lim.. and he pointed to me the wrong direction! *argh. thank God i was sharp and i turned back like 5 seconds later and R.A.N again! finally saw my beloved karen and charlotte there. we got quite good seats! but not enough for the whole cellgroup. the other 20 odd people had to seat elsewhere... after the svc started like a few minutes, sis sher got me, cheekiong and sylvia to sit at the second row with the church staff. i saw sun walk past, wooo so pretty! *keke.
it was a great service, the praise and worship was so GRAND! we used centrestage, and imagine 10 singers on stage with the worship leader in the middle... cool cool cool. it was just so happening. really hope we can be at SIS again. it's so great to see so many ppl!
after the service, we had announcements and we gave out the gifts and cards to the friends and members... den... guess what? raining again! how to walk back? we were contemplating whether to take cab anot, so we walked to the cab area and guess what? it's really a blessing in disguise, cos then we realised that there' re actually shuttle buses. i've never knew there'd be buses to send us back to kallang! cool. things always work together for GOOD for those who love God!
gwyn and i had to rush to suntec cos we're catching the 4pm movie. we're so anxious, cos when we reached the cinema, it's like 3.50pm and we didn't have cash! the atm queue was sooooo LONG. we still had to Q anyway. we ran to the cinema after that, i bought hotdogs and she bought the tix. thank God when we went in, show not started yet. and really thank God that we were not too late, cos not long after we sat down, the lights went off n it was the darkest cinema i've ever been into. *the hotdog very niceeee!!
after the movie, we went to cafe cartel (suntec) for dinner. the service was lousy. very lousy. if u wanna go cafe cartel, please don't go to the one at suntec k. dhoby ghaut and tampines ones are good! i ate breaded chicken, gwyn ate the hawaiian pork chop. *so filling! we ate alot of bread... hehe. gwyn is a good bread-eating partner. hehe. both of us ate alomost one whole loaf.. the butter's yummy! *luffs
we went home after dinner and i was so full, i decided to walk home. when i reached home, i worshipped for awhile. i love the new song that we sang in church recently "one desire". it's my fave song. it's not really a new song, just that church recently started to sing. i've heard it months back and i fell in love with it immediately... i planned cellgroup stuff and sent email to my helpers about events this week and i couldn't take the exhaustion anymore and slipped into dreamland at 1.30am...

i started this day well by waking up on time! yippee! dunno if u'd understand how i felt then... it's a feeling of pride and satisfaction. it's like i had made a first step in discipling myself to wake up! i used to have to take cab to work a few times in a week... *sigh. i stay in punggol and my workplace is at braddell... can't imagine the distance? well, the cab fare is around $12. i've learnt my lesson well.
work is getting boring-er by the day...
every morning i reach my office, i'd tell myself that it's gonna be a great day! but once i start work, doing the website things, i wanna sleep... so boring!! boring-ness makes me sleepy. and when i am sleepy, i am only motivated to do one thing... of cos to sleep la.
looking forward to lunch is a great motivator. the one hour before lunch is probably the most productive for me. and of cos lunch hour is the most energetic time of my working time.
anyway, i just got back from lunch. and after lunch, the time really crawls abit faster. haha. ohya, just now jasmine, jean and i went out to walk... saw some really nice cakes in a cake shop.. later must buy some home for mummy. hiakz.
i haven't buy new year clothes leh, how. no motivation to go shopping at all. seems like everywhere is crowded with people and it really freaks me out.
tmr is sun's concert, what should i wear? mayb later after work i'd go and buy some clothes...

oh no, i woke up late again this morning... 7.18am! late for work too... *sad
hmm, last night, i went for prayer meeting @ church. sis sher, szehui and i had dinner @ riviera (guys, this is the right spelling! i've checked it out, so dun spell it as rivera or riveria anymore k...). sis sher brought home-cooked food...so sweet! she offered a prawn and some bean sprouts to me... hehe, so funny, cos i dun eat both. so i gave it so szehui. the prayer meeting is only one hour, so rena and i decided to go to Cafe Cartel for supper. initially i oni wanted to drink something and eat the nice bread (not to mention it's free...haha) there. hmm, just to clarify that i am not a yao gui okie... if they make me pay for the bread and butter i definitely will pay... cos it's soooo Nice with a capital N! hehe. well, ahem, i'm a bread lover, unlike my good fren shuzhen. and ohyes, rena and i are similar, we both dun like seafood, but she is more extreme. and for me, i puke at the taste or smell of honey dew. and of cos, i dun eat weird veggies like bean sprouts, ladies' fingers or the yucky brinjal.
rena and i reached Cafe Cartel at 10.30pm... shuzhen didn't turn up and when we called her, she didn't pick up the phone. hmm, tot something happened to her. and when she finally answered my call, she said that her colleague poured coffee on her head and she had to go home and bathe first. weird colleagues.
while she made her way to CC, we ordered a big bowl of ice-cream (for 4 persons...so sinful!), rena ordered some coffee-ed drink for herself. of cos, ahem, i helped myself to the bread and butter! *hiakz.
shuzhen came and she ordered a Breaded Chicken... something like chicken cutlet lor, served with wedggies and baby carrots and some weird vege, which at the sight of it, u wouldn't want to even touch it.
so full!! we fellowshipped until like 11.45pm and we had to go. the waitress came and asked if she could clear the plates, and she asked if she could clear the bread too (cos rena took too much...haha)... shuzhen sabo-ed na by saying "no, she(rena) still want to eat"... hahaha. of cos rena didn't eat the bread and when we finally made our way to the door, i sabo-ed na by saying "eh, i tot u said u wanted to tabao the bread?".
i took a cab home and guess what, the cab driver very pro, the fare was oni $6! cheapest ever from tampines to punggol.
there's no choir prac this week :( and no need to sing for service too :((
*sad.

yay, went for interview this morning... got to sleep for an extra 1.5hr.. hehe. usually have to wake up at 6.30am to get ready to go to work but today the interview at 9.40am so i slept more.
but dunno y this morning woke up with a headache... felt sick. but i pulled myself together and went to wash up and change. felt better after that.
i was late cos i estimated the time wrongly. i had wanted to get there like 15min earlier but i ended up 5 min late. hmm... was pretty worried on the way there, was praying hard that the interviewer will be late too... haha.
anyway, i reached tiong bahru and i hurried to take the lift to the ninth floor. the place is really neat and cosy. nice people too. i filled in a form and went in for interview, was interviewed by a gentleman and a lady named Geraldine. i was quite relaxed, thank God! but i wasn't very prepared and my voice! argh... i should have warmed up my voice in the morning. this morning i didn't speak at all until i went in for the interview. and guess wat?? my voice croaked out. yucks! they asked me questions like how come i am only looking for a job now tho i graduated like months ago, what made me wanna be social worker and why children's society?? *sigh. i answered the first 2 well, but the third i think i flung. hehe. i told them, 'no particular reason why i chose children's society'. BAD answer. they asked me abt strengths and weaknesses, typical interview question-- PREPARED FOR IT!
when i left the place, i happened to see the interview list.. guess what? i saw a list of at least 20 names. wah! so mani people applying. i felt very down. i tot i am not going to make it.
was brooding over it the next few hours after the interview... *haiz
but i told myself that i gotta trust God. if it's for me, it'd be for me! if not, God will have something better for me.
@3pm, someone from children's society called me and asked me for a 2nd interview! yay! i do not know how it'd go, but i know that God will pave the way for me. i just need to get prepared and really trust His heart. pra

heh!
u know what's mighty beans??? it's some racing beans that's pretty 'in' these days... erm... i tink 'in' among the kids? haha. i got to know about them thru my colleague Muikiang. she bought some for her son for christmas, she even bought a race track that costs 20 over bucks!
from the left.. Ms BattleAx Bean, Rooster Bean, Hooligan Bean and Marathon Bean
well, i was going to work just now after the interview at children's society... suddenly, i felt an urge to walk in2 the shop inside Braddel MRT... i walked in and i saw Mighty Beans! i wanted to buy some a long time ago... but i didn't have extra cash for toys... i got my ERS like yesterday and i got my paycheck today! so i was inside the shop for like 10min, thinking which to buy.. cos they have a pack of 2 beans for $3.90, pack of 4 beans for $6.90 and a set of one bean plus one small track for $6.90. i couldn't decide... in the end i chose the 4-bean pack. heh, i got a Miss BattleAx Bean, a Rooster Bean, a Hooligan Bean and a Marathon Bean. Miss BattleAx and Rooster are the slowest beans (50mmp), Marathon is faster (100mmp) and Hooligan is the fastest (150mmp). there're also some rare glow in the dark beans that's 300mmp... hmm, hope i can get hold of some (cos u can't see which bean u get, u gotta pay, open, den u know)! but there're some beans which i really like... Baby Seat Bean, Sumo Bean, Galah Bean, Pig Bean, Sheep Bean, Ninja Bean.... hehe. i guess one of my members, grace, would love the Black Belt Bean! heheeh...
muikiang says tomoro she'd bring the race track

alrightey, time to set goals for this new year! actually, i've set my goals even before the year ended, and after much thoughts and prayers, i've come up with a yummy list! *haa. i'd share some that can be shared.... *hee. those personal ones probably oni God,me, sis sher and my very close buddies will know.
1. pray more, worship more, read the bible twice this yr
2. guitar skills to move on to another level (able to lead a dynamic praise while playing!... i tink i can lead worship pretty well, but i still need alot of practice for praise... leading is ok, playing is ok, but when both happens at the same time... hmmm)
3. better relationship with my family members, spend more time with them.
4. be financially independent (need to get a stable job first), so that i can have financial freedom and thus be able to help and bless others whenever i want to!
5. become a pcgl by end of the year.
6. be a BV (backup vocalist)!
7. to develop better social and communication skills.
8. become wiser and more mature
9. become a very effective discipler and counsellor.
10. be very very very very Disciplined (with a capital D!)
think that's all i'd share. hee.. i'm on my way to become a highly successful person cos i have planned and written down my goals! hallelujah!

juz came home from carter's bbq...
today is new year's eve! initially i was intending to rest at home, have a really long quiet time with God, write my new year resolutions and write my appreciation cards for my members and den go buy food with QS and Cart for the bbq...
later, sis sherling told me that we're invited to dream center's appreciation cellgroup, so we went and after that we (the helpers) had a really long meeting at woodlands... when i reached carter's house, it was already
the appreciation cellgroup was at 1plus at yio chu kang... i waited at home for sis sher and karen to come in a cab and pick me up. but i waited until like 2pm, they're not here yet! around 2plus, they came and they had to get off the cab cos the cab driver refused to go more than one place... *argh
so we hailed another cab and we went to pick gwyn up at amk before going to yck. the appreciation cellgroup was at a condominium called grande vista. when we went in, they were just finishing off their performance and going into preaching. after which they had appreciation for one another. at 4pm, we had to leave cos we're having helpers' meeting at woodlands.
the helpers' meeting started at 4.30pm and ended off at 10pm. wow.
i quickly rushed to tampines to meet shuzhen and we took a cab to carter's place. shuzhen only ate some spaghetti and she had to take cab to woodlands to meet xiaoyun they all for movie. i was left at carter's place... i was realli tired and bored! most of the time, i was sitting with lewis at the computer watching him play games... *yawn. i left with fifi and bibi @ 2.30am... *sleepy...
