i'm addicted to...

caffeine.
gosh.

"If you are particularly affected by caffeine, you will find that the quantity and quality of your sleep will be greatly reduced. This can set off a vicious cycle, where you feel so tired all the next day that you drink a lot more coffee just to try to feel awake.

If this is happening to you, cut back on the amount of coffee you consume each day."

- Buzzle.com

i seriously think i probably am guilty of this.
eeks.

been drinking about 4 to 5 cups of tea/coffee for the past 2 days.
with a minimum of 2 cups a day.
oh man.
do i really have to kick this addiction?


then again, who can resist a cute cup of tea?

*disclaimer - ultra random post

a sneak peek

here's what my room looks like at the moment.
havent really fully unpack in a sense.
which means i've got more than what is being seen here.
just that they are at a corner hidden from the camera.
haha.

first time moving house in my life.
haha.
moved hall before.
but today was the first.
and i'm tired.
haha.
but at least looking at the room now gives a bit of satisfaction.
hehe.
shall be posting pictures soon when i'm less tired.
and when i've organised things better.

a new place.
more in store.
hehe.

how can i not be stressed

when i just cant seem to get it right.

a few more days.
yet so little time.
argh.

Lord, i need wisdom.

thank you!

thank you dinner 2007.
marks the celebration of 2006/07 work year for the committee.
for the whole club also.
hehe.
spent quite some hours rehearsing and slacking and phototaking before the actual dinner started.
haha.
i ought to have put the time to better use. maybe. hehe. :)

as usual, shall let the photos do most of the talking.


thank you 12th comm!
it's been a great year.
though some of us have been though a really hectic year.
but things wouldnt have been the same if we didnt take up the roles.
it has been really nice knowing all of you!
special thanks to my bosses for tolerating my sharp comments.
thanks to the entire comm to have to bear with my loud voice.
haha. thanks to everyone for all the fun and laughter.
we had fun song-signing didnt we?
although it was REALLY a BIG challenge.
haha.
at least it was better than chicky dance!


click on the picture for a larger version!
thank you dinner 2007.

hehe. dada and me!
thanks girl for being such a great partner to work with.
hehe. sry that you've always got to clear up quite a few things when i dont have time to handle.

once again, happy birthday babe!

time flies.
the week came and is soon about to be gone.
got to make better use of my time to finish up revision for the quiz!
zhien ganbatte ne!

day 1 of my mid-sem break

decided that i shall just post sthg since i'm online.
shall be trying to cut down on online time.
cos the lappie is a major distraction.
and i need to MUG.
what an agenda to set for my break.
haha.

oh well.
just a bit about my weekend and today.
else nothing much generally to update.

saturday went to peishan's bday celebration.
hehe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
adult le wor.
haha.
welcome to the club!
older and more domesticated?
haha.
well. in a flash.
we've known each other for 2/3 of our lives!
at her bday celebration.
didnt know that many ppl.
but just sat down and talk.
and got to know some of her other ntu friends.
hehe.
and then talked to her mum and brother.
i probably know them better compared to the other ppl present!
how honored to take the photo with her family together!
*grins*
hehe.
shall post the pics when i get them from her.


got treated to home-made mooncakes on sunday during lts!
joan and michelle actually made mooncakes themselves.
oh man.
i wonder if i ever really put into good use what i've learnt during home economics.
haha.
they actually made nice mooncakes!
and they are younger girls than me.
oops.


this is what i really feel like blogging.
haha.
there's that bit of excitement about moving.
yet there's also that bit of stress about moving at this time.
hehe. i wonder if it's me just thinking too much.
but there's the need to unpack so that i'm organised enough for school since it's going to be an over the weekend thing.
oh well.
at least there's a really nice place!
the living room is cool isnt it?
hehe.


went on a walk down memory lane today.
haha.
had to settle some due bills.
so went ghim moh area.
the area hasn't changed much since i last went.
but it has changed quite a fair bit since i graduated from jc.
haha.
but still.
there's the all-time favourite jiu jiang.
bought waffle to eat while i was there.
and then walked home.
haha. was reminded how 'hardworking' i was then.
walking to and fro school just to save some money on transport.
hehe.


but i guess i'm more 'hardworking' today.
look at the weather.
very clear sky right?
haha.
it was so hot!
to walk back home was quite a hot experience.
haha.

oh well.
shall stop blogging for now.
dont have much to say liao.
i need to MUG hard already.

feeling.
weird.
dont know how to put it also.
just weird.

closing in to mid-semester

one more week of school before a break.

having been updating for quite some time.

wont be a really long entry i suppose.
since i dont think i can really recall every single thing that has happened.
shall just blog about the significant few.


one of the rewarding things of being a teacher.
got this on sunday. and it really made me smile.
hehe. :)

celebrated mum's birthday too.
ate so much until i was so so so bloated.
haha. had so much ice cream.
saw this really cute winnie the pooh ice cream mooncake.
rather ex though. hehe.
but it was a great dinner.


thanks to ying. got a donut treat.
though not from the perpetual long queue donut factory.
it was still a really sweet treat.
hehe.
welcome to the donut craze.


had a crazy thursday last week churning out the group report.
many thanks to linda and chiewlin who ignored the growls of their hungry stomachs.
just to wait for me for dinner.
it was a splendid simple dinner at ah fang.
hehe.
i miss the days in hall.
eating at ah fang seem such a rare thing now.


went to do some cleaning up over at the new place recently.
my room has got all the furniture in.
so it's just left with really clearing up my stuff over here.
and waiting for the move.
thanks to sis for all the effort in settling all the issues required.
thanks to mum who generously forked out the money to get the stuff that we wanted.
it was more of a want than a need, in a way.
there's just that kind of mixed feeling associated with moving.
the excitement of moving for the first time in my life.
yet the anxiety of having to pack properly despite being in the midst of heavy school workload.


just on sunday.
got to eat goodwood park's durian snowskin mooncake.
woolala.
it's real good stuff.
the smell can simply make one drool.
but then again. eating the whole of it at one go can be something really damaging to the body.
how heaty.
hehe.
ate half and gave the other half away.
well i'm satisfied with a simple treat.
sometimes i just have to reward myself.
once in a while.
hehe.

nothing much that i can really recall.
so i shall just abruptly end this off.
doubt i'm really thinking much now.
i'm rather worn out.
havent been getting much rest.
definitely less than 5 hours each day. it's just how much lesser.
bleh. even now i feel a bit sick.

so much that i dont seem to know how to handle.
yet i know God is faithful.
the only thing i know i ought to hold on tight to.
is just Him and Him alone.
some things are tough.
but nothing's impossible for my God.
the only thing to do is trust.
i'm learning. to be thankful always.

into week 4 - je suis fatigue

though i'm quite worn out already.
i just thought i need to blog.
so that i dont pile up more things.
and treating this as some form of destress for the time being.

i only got home at 12 midnight just now.
sounds cinderella-ish.
but well. i forsee a really crazy week ahead.

just a bit about my last week.
nothing much in fact.
school's really busy.
and it's not getting any less busier.
in fact. my workload is piling up.
there doesnt seem to be much net movement in my in&out-trays.

last monday. meeting.
enough said.
i'm thankful i got a ride back.

last tuesday. class. tuition.
my student's ca.
seems like she made some improvement.
i'm glad.
missed the bgr workshop because of that.
so i'm going to attend trainer nic's class.
someday.
haha.

last wednesday. a long day of class then to the long-awaited cell group.
wednesdays are crazy in terms of classes.
still. cell group is the greatest consolation mid-way in the week.
though seemingly small in number for now.
but there's hope. God will surely do something. He already am i believe.

last thursday. rot 5 hours away at the election booth.
just passing people forms to fill in so that they can vote.
i ought to have done sthg more constructive.
sigh.
then headed for co for counselor's briefing.
mandarin. i've got to familiarise myself with it.
so out of touch. i think i sound china-ish.
agape healing rally coming soon.
praying for a change.
praying for a what-seems-impossible-but-is-always-possible-for-God miracle.
pray with me!

last friday. hosted welcome tea.
which resulted in having to miss prayer meeting.
and i felt really odd.
sigh.


last saturday. a whole load of fun at pasir ris park.
my only form of workout for the week.
cant believe i was that packed in my schedule.
or should i say cant believe i nua my week through.
the tertiary ministry had an oikos at pasir ris park.
had some simple team games.
before the bbq.
took some photos with my rather-limited phone camera.
which i think is scenic.
i love the beach!
time to start saving up for a good camera.
while waiting for the food to cook.
played captain's ball. so i got my workout.
haha. i had fun.

sunday. the Lord's day.
what else can i say?
it's good to be found in the house of God. :)
then went watching a french movie with michael at night.
quite a silly french comedy.
the dialogue was in french.
i kind of dont understand.
only managed to catch a few phrases.
good thing there were subtitles.
else i'd probably have dashed out of the place with my head swelling.
someday i should visit france.
j'aime le francais!

anyhow.
today i'm tired.
counting down to 3 more days.
well a little less than 3 days.
and then that's about it.


oh well. time to hit the books again!
mugger zhien heading out.

Jesus take the wheel

take it from my hands

'cos i can't do this on my own

i'm letting go

so give me one more chance

save me from this road i'm on

Jesus take the wheel

- Jesus take the wheel by carrie underwood

and somehow. i think something's very wrong.
hmmm. i need to look into this.
something's wrong. somehow.
