What more can i ask for? Ive got a happy life, really. Thank God He's blessed me with so much. Family, boyf, close friends, people who love and care for me. I enjoy my meals everyday, can do shopping, ive got a place to stay, a school with many friends. I am contented. Imagine & look arnd you, the old uncles & aunties cleaning the canteen, or picking up old cans from the bins by the bus stops. Or even, the paralyzed sitting by the bridge selling tissue papers. I sympathize with them, just cant imagine myself being in their shoes, let alone, at such an old age.
Life, let's live it well, cherish it. Dont complain & be contented with what we have.

Today. i slacked at home the whole day, pencil was supposed to come over today and i was supposed to meet xiyao, wj and the rest for weeting's farewell surprise. but i was snuggled up in bed cus of the rainy weather. SLEEP (: Oh! the most exciting thing was, i drove frm hillview to dover (to pick some stuff) and then fetched my aunt back to serangoon then back to hillview. Was good overall, but gotta keep practising. I must admit, my parking is horrendous. My godmum was my instructor for the day! hee, driving's just so fun.

Peek-A-Boo !

Mummy's Birthday
Daddy's so sweet, 88 roses. haha, big bouquets as always.
Dinner w/o me cus i was busy mugging :(
It's Love <3
My 1st time parking, jo's parents car. No correction at all, tyco. But with the help my sister is, outside NPClubhouse.


he bought a miniature wooden paddle at his last Penang race.

& my cute lil cousin made a paper boat and stuck the paddle in when i wasnt home :D Our fav past time: Whipping up yummy yum yum dinner. This was after my last paper :D

I'M A HAPPY GIRL! (: Goodnight.

i miss you <3

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.
- John Churton Collins

The quote's so very true, isn't it? True friends vs Friends who veils up. How scary this world is, you'll never know who'll come round and stab you at the back. It came upon me when i thought who'll be by my side when im down and out, who'll listen to my sorrows and pains, who are the ones whom i can share all my joys and happiness with? Aint easy finding true, sincere friends whom you know would be with u till the very end. Ive got a few, countable with my fingers. But im happy enough cus i know they are the ones i can rely on anytime. Cherished, always. I thank God for you all (:

Alright, was just reflecting back upon my life. Met up with little miss jolene to study. As usual, with her, my stomach's always blessed with lotsa food. haha, being the forgetful me, i rushed out of the house without my atm, ezlink and cardkey. But phew~ i had sufficient money to last me through the day. Met her after church at holland v, had hawker food, headed to bk to study so she had ice lemon tea & i was obliged to buy something, Hershey's sundae pie. So we wont seem like we're taking up space for nothing. lol. After our rather fulfilling study, we went on exploring holland v cus she stays in Farland (Serangoon) and only came here recently. Walked to Chip Bee gardens, had beautiful shops, cafes & restaurants! Went Dolci, Da Paolo for some heavenly looking/tasting mango cheesecake and berries crumble pie. Straight after, Coffeebean to continue studying. Reg Pure Choc & Belgian Hot Choc.

Moral of my day:
Fats gained x 1000000.
832732409 Calories.
i better start running.

hahaha! nah, kidding. Chit-chatting, nonsensical laughters, jokes, heartfelt talks, food & more food, study session just made my day. Yayness, meeting Tuesday again!

Church message today:
To submit, be yielded and led by Christ. Having the fullness of His Spirit.

(: cant wait for tmr!





Goodnight, World.
