*.* Life in construction site *.*

Working in construction site is like living in a 3rd world country, a living hell. Fatality rate is high and hygiene level is at freezing point. Blood spurting everywhere on the ground and they are live trace.

I have never seen toilet clogged with urine and stink the whole canteen. Yup, the loo was closed for 2 days for a major clean up. Having seen them clean the toilet also makes me sick. The same mob that was used to clean the floor was conveniently used to clean the toilet bowls too.

Dust is flying everywhere. My desk never seem to be dust-free no matter how much I clear. My laptop always has this layer of dust that protects the screen. The smell of dirt and mud seems to stay forever.

I look like a lunatic trying to chase them off. Flies are flying around to irritate and pissing me off. Yup I killed a few and they died tragically in my hands.. Ha ha ha..

I'm getting out of this place soon. Real soon. I'm in for a new thing, new explorations for my career path. MCYS has taken me in as a rehabilitation officer in Singapore Girls' Home. Yes I am going to impact lives and talk the girls out (I hope). People are missing me here already and I'm glad I made some new friends and heard many of their life experiences.

I survived well for 6 months.. =)

*.* 1st ever OPSS Alumni Dinner *.*

Last Sunday I attended the very first ever OPSS Alumni Dinner. I can't believe Sec 1 was 10 years ago! We were all so green and innocent. And of course along the way we grow up, learn new things and we established new friendship. WooHoo!! 10 years of friendship!! Still counting!

I'm so glad that the juniors really grown up and are doing well in their school. So glad to see all the teachers who taught me in my secondary school days. Except the younger teachers who left much earlier and didn't teach in OPSS anymore. Our 4A1 mummy is 58 this year and she is going to retire in a few years time! Yes that's how old the teachers are already. Grey hair and had fatigue shown on their faces.

It all started off with the 'as usual' school song. Yes that was pretty classic. The only thing that left me with a little disappointed was our principal didn't turn up for the dinner. He did a video to address us and he was the virtual Guest-of-Honour. But his words were personal and friendly. Reminded me of my days in OPSS.

I miss school so much now.

*.* Unspoken Expectations *.*

It had been a couple of roller coaster weeks.

It has probably been too much of unspoken expectations that I had of you. I'm sorry to EXPECT you to be perfect (at least to my standard). I'm sorry that I EXPECT you to know. I EXPECT you to be what I want you to be.

I don't know what is going through your mind. I EXPECT you to tell me the least when I ask.

It probably did not come across to me that all this has added stress to you and causing you some distress.

I am currently reading a book and I quite agree with what the author said. He said that many times we treat strangers better than our family members. When a stranger step on our toes accidentally, we are more forgiving than our family member who does that to us. When our family member does that we probably would exclaim if they have watch where they are going.

It's relatively true even in a relationship because two has come so close to regard as family. Even best friend has to go through this process, inevitably.

I guess I probably step into this process, unknowingly. It's time to be more forgiving and loving

*.* Welcome 2010! *.*

Count down party at Chervons last night. It was quite fun though the food really sucks. Ben and I had fun taking photos and having fun with his friends. We had like hundreds of poppers and we 'poped' non-stop for a good 5 minutes! We welcome 2010 with noise, laughter and a kiss! I can't wait for what God has installed for us in year 2010. It's a new beginning!

*.* Bye 2009! *.*

2009 is finally coming to an end.

I want to thank God for the transition into cell. It was really tough but it eventually turn out pretty good. I made really good friends who are really supportive.

Thank God for Project P in July where I was asked to play in a RAYS concert. It was amazing how God used us. I was greatly blessed because of the people I met and heard their stories far worst than mine. God reminded me He is greater than anything and anyone else.

I got a chance to lead worship in cell too in December. It waws exciting! All that I wanted for and I finally got a chance. Something so familiar and I love doing it again!

I got a new job. Yes, for better pay and at least I can ease my mind a little with my school fees. Tough job. I certainly know why God puts me here for the very reason to train my patience and learn to trust Him. Very tiring to work in crazy and stressful timeline and studying at the same time. I can't wait to graduate! Yes I'm looking for better opportunity next year to do what I really want to do. God please open the door.

And Christmas! It was fun. So many of us got together and celebrate Christmas and just to have fun. I'm so glad people whom I haven't seen for ages finally met up and Emmie please come back next year! We're really missing you and the fun!

I'm very glad Ben and I have moved on to a higher heights. Thank you dear for being so supportive and so loving. I want to share our special moments together. For better or for worse! I love you! Thank God for you. You're the sweetest and the best.

For year 2010, I pray for the better and more to come..

Count down party starts now!

*.* Photos.. *.*

I'm so happy that Penguin Daddy (that's what I call it) has ended. I love happy ending. How I wish I have such a dad too.. Unlike my use_ _ _ _ dad and my hope_ _ _ _ mom.

Anyway, I've just uploaded Ben's 21 birthday photo on facebook. So tired from tagging the photos with so many small faces.
I'm going to post some of my zuzu photos.. She's so cute.

It's her 2nd birthday!

She's enjoying her cake!

Can you spot the furry 'toy'?

Her greedy look.. Aiming for the egg salad...

My clever dog studying for psychology module. So hardworking.

Sleeping.. Sshh..

She looks like she's going to swallow the giant burger!

*.* Uuuppdates of the old ones and new ones! *.*

It's been a long time since I last blogged. I have no idea where to start.

Been really busy with work and school and now is the crazy exam period. I'm mugging! I just came back from somewhere, been out with my course mate to mug.

OH I celebrate my dog's birthday today! Will upload the photos when I find my card reader. I think it's misplaced somewhere.

Something I've learnt in Psychology so far and come to a great revolution! Now I finally understand why Jesus told us not to be conform to this world. This is because conformity is a great influence and many times it is caused by peer pressure. There is an experiment that shows how 6 people are put in a room to do a test (the 5 knows each other and find 1 other person somewhere). Simply asking individual to check which card shows the correct answers in the picture and after a few rounds of right answers, everyone started giving the wrong answer. Though the outsider gave the correct answer, he was uncertain after a few rounds of 'wrong' answers (because the other 5 gave the wrong answers), the outsider naturally followed the group! Conformity is contagious!

I just watched 2012 with my darling. I think I should just put a disclaimer first. Whatever I'm going to write in here are based solely on my emotions and thoughts. It bears no consequences of anything. Everything said here is pure coincidental and it involves purely my own emotions. This is not an entry to promote neither is it an advertisement.

Allow me to give my 2 cents worth of critics. To make this a balance argument, I recognised that I need to give both the good and bad side. =)

Firstly, this is a propaganda shows to show the good side of one big country of how the leader had chose to stay behind to let the world know about the end of the world. Very noble action but shows some biasness.

Secondly, I would say the society is learning about culture imperialism because I'm seeing more black people on big screen now than before. This is good because there is less stereotyping! There is also hidden meaning because -you should know-. Unless you don't, do call me. I have learnt that blogging is not safe. I may be charged for everything that I type here. I study mass media too..

Thirdly, it shows the good side of humanity in the society. Though there will be people who are against this, it takes a lot of courage to stand by one's decision, ethically and morally. We can't just let people die in vain right?

Fourthly, I feel the need to cherish and treasure with what we have now. We need to live life what never before. Go tell the world about Jesus! He is our HOPE!

Last but not least, it's quite a good show. Should go catch it and that's provided you don't like political stuffs.
