yeah..after the prac..i still had to rush down to work..was a total waste of my time man..haiz..shan't elaborate much.had a talk with matt over some stuff..still unsolved,unclear..but...cool...

Brise De Joie opened on thursday...biz tt day was horrible..but thankfully..it picked up on Friday.yay!!yup..was pretty much tired...darn..now i have to like make sure i look presentable enuff before i set off.seriously,i HATE dressing up.i wished..i was born with the looks and all..ah well...no one's perfect..i shld be thankful for everything..in everything give thanks,for this is the will of God.(yeah right!)...somethings..i feel...definitely isn't the will of God.many things i'm pretty much upset with with the ldrship in COS..now..is tt the will of God too?well....once u offend someone up there....u've blown everything man.
badminton was...initially boring...yupyup...but the Crazy gals has done it once again!!hahaha....made life crazier!!!Yes..matt has called us the crazy gals cos everytime we're together,we nv seem to be soft...we're always loud,crazy and AS!!tt's what made us unique.so happy to know em.heh!!
Wanted to scream out and complain abt alot of stuff during CS rehearsal today...but ever since we started CS rehearsal,many pple have been unhappy,many pple have been complianing,me included.but i was sick of hearing the complains..so sick of hearing upset pple just getting pissed.and what spoke to me..is tt God loves a cheerful giver.giving doesn't mean just monetary terms...it also means serving God.i've chosen to serve him thru dance.if i wanna dance for Him,i shld give it my best..even if i was pissed or even if it's just a rehearsal..cos every dance is a dance for God.and everytime i get pissed with the com,i'm reminded of the cheerful giver.hence,it helped me to smile better.i mean..the committee has enuff problems of their own,they've so many things to oversee,cannot expect em to make sure everyone's happy.Kudos to the lighting and sound crew for coming earlier and going back later den many of us - dancers,choir singers,worship ldrs.You guys do all the back end jobs,no center stage,do more den us and yet...u nv complain.Thk u!!God loves humble pple!!!Even the musicians deserve a pat on their backs..having to play for sooo many songs,they've to remember the chords,listen to every single musician and make sure they're blending..and they even have to remember for which song comes a repeat,which song has a transpose,and which ones got to repeat verse den chorus,chorus den verse etc..well done!!Let's all give our best not for the audience but for our Father who's pleased with our work!!!God bless!!
after tt...we were craving for desserts..didn't get to eat the peanut paste i wanted to eat..so settled for peanut ice kachang..not too bad la...quite nice..since we still had time,we went to CCHS and wanted to just support the pple..haha.but ended up playing floorball cos there was a need/shortage of female players.it was fun.yeah!!i managed to score a last goal for the team.it's all team work man.if estee had missed tt ball,and i missed tt,i wldn't have scored too.was fun!!played bare footed..and now,i'm suffering the consequences...floorball was fun.plaed it when i was in secondary sch.back den,we called it street bandy.haha...and i was super ons den cos of the cute bb boys...really brought back memories.well..it was fun!
boy was i high today...super super high...dunno why also..maybe cos i saw him..den very happy!!hahah..oops oops!!i've nv acted high in front of my parents but today..they saw the other side.haha...luffed the whole night..had great fellowship,was a great walk back from the sch to the church.yupyup...it was so fun..i hope such opportunities arise again!!now...i've to go to bed...pimples are popping out...and i'm gettinbg darker eye rings by the day...it's time to get low..and rest for the day!!..
p/s:my new blogskin nice??hehe..

haha...hmm...suddenly miss him..quite alot..i dunno why..it's coming back...yeah..i miss..2 of em in fact...why am i suddenly feeling this way again??i dunno...
anyway..like my new blogskin??heh..i designed it one hor!!of cos..someone helped me with the codes!!heh..and this song..i really love it..made me very toucehd..very encouraged.do tag more kk??Hugz!!!
and why am i so considering slimming centres??well..why not??if it's gonna boost my self esteem when i've lost the wt?there's no harm giving it a try...if it doesn't work..well..it was worth the investment..at least i tried.why do i so desperately wanna lose wt??cos it so sucks to be one of the fattest dancer...and someone accidentally.(this person wasn't trying to be mean...but unknowingly,the remark made,made me feel worse,hurt alot)...said something..when we were doing the fan dance.God..i dun blame tt person...but it does hurt...to be fat...it wasn't a choice...so..yes!slimming centres....2 opposite the shop!!hahaha....spoilt for choice.let's see if they do work ok???
well..i'm really tired....i saw him just now...been seeing him often...dunno why suddenly like...just have a thing for him all over again..i know i'm so not ready for a r/s cos No. 1,i'm still a very fickle minded gal...i really dunno who i like.No 2,it's due to insecurity tt i'm just looking out for my other half. No. 3....there're no guys going after me..tt i'll definitely say yes to!!haha...No. 4...i've not been able to put God 1st..it'll be worse if i'm attached.wldn't it?
yeah..i guess they are good enuff reasons to say no to commitments now!!woohoo..single's fun la..at times...but seriously..when i saw him with another gal today..haha..my heart sank.yes..i was so afraid tt he'll say it's his gf...or even his gal fren.thankfully...she isn't!!so kinda relief.hehehe....alright..gonna watch tv now..before 'hittin' the bed.
Charlie and the Choc Factory tom!!yaya!!all the chocs i'm gonna consume!!hahaa...TUDI!!i promise u..i wun gain wt!!haha..i wun..really.i wun.heh..
and after hanging out there for awhile...had to quickly take a cab down to Indoor stadium.thank God,i made it in time!!(thank God for the blessings too!someone blessed with the cab fare!!)....
But i was rather disappointed.FOP is no longer the FOP tt i always looked forward too.somehow,i felt super distracted today..why??cld it be cos i had so much on my mind??i dunno...it just was so difficult trying to draw near to God.nevertheless,i gave it all tt i cld worshipping him.Colin DYE? will be in church today!yay!!...
and gals..i hope u like the earrings!!will bring more back every time i go back to china!!haha...den really can open my very own...DING DANG jewellery.haha..if u dunno why i named it ding dang..come ask me k??hehe...nitez to all!!
yup..although it's been fun..and tiring having to shop for hours everyday, the most exciting moment wld be seeing happy customers buying what u chose.yup.Grace and i both agreed.
was lying on my bed the whole night yesterday...thinking bout loads of stuff..the trip..the store...and even frens...pretty much upset bout some stuff...but shan't let it affect me...but what i realised tt ever since my best fren and i got into different classes in pri sch..the relationship was nv the same as before..but the most amazing thing is tt after we graduated from secondary...and a few yrs later...God brought this friendship back together..i can't believe how thru one's bday..a friendship can be so different.and just by being there for her...is all tt matters..even if we've not seen each other for yrs..or we dun meet up as often...friendship...there's so much more to it...and i've always been yearning for a best fren...(yes..i have)..yet..i've nv found one..until yesterday..while lying on my bed..did i realise...tt best frens..need not be of the same age or ard the age at all.My bestest fren...i realise....is married,has a child...and yet..we get along so well..yup..she's grace!!i can't believe how we can get along so well..even tho we do have our differences and at times...our thinkings,our tastes clash..yet...thru USANA,COFFEENEWS,EXMEG and now BRISE DE JOIE, this friendship has been thru alot.she's frank with me(tt's wat i really appreciate) and we luff at the same kinda joke...i can share everything to her..yeah..she and peter's like my mentor,advisor..and the bestest fren i can ever have.Peter's funny..and his integrity is something really worth learning from.yeah..dunno why i'm typing all these..but i realised..good frens do realise ur good points even when the bad points sometimes seem more obvious,more hurting den the good.she's seen both sides of me,she's stood by me,and she's been honest with me.i guess tt's what brought this friendship to a higher level. Grace,thks for always being there for me!!haha..and i'll nv forget how u and Peter will go 'shopping' with me (an impromptu decision) everytime u guys know i'll be going alone.it's been funny!Perry's been our CEO..and he's such a blessing!!yay!!!
yes yes..back to china...fun..HK...crowded,,hot but fashionable...well..shld be going HK as well the next time we shop for clothes..woah!!i can't wait.things there are like..super cheap..esp in China.....can't wait for the opening of Brise De joie...it's our Joy...will tell ya guys more of my shopping expereiences if u guys ask me..
