hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

today marks the last official caregroup i hold in northeast.
after one year of being a careleader, its time to say tata to NE and my group.

today's worship i felt like i touched heaven's clouds,
today's caregroup was one of the most flop ones,
today's attendance was full. (:

this one year of taking care of the group has obviously not been easy.
taking care of any people wont be. but i am proud to say i feel that my efforts havent gone down the drain. i am thankful i filled up my life busying in His kingdom, because i am waiting to see the results. maybe i dont see the visible quantitive growth result now, but i am still waiting for the girls to fulfill their part of the promise.

but i do see growth in every individual that was sitting there in the group and singing to the same God i worship. the feeling is... indescribable. try it, invest in a life man. lol.

it's been a ride.

the mind is rather saturated now.

(oh yaya, crumbs arrived friday night 1115pm in a really unglam brown box with the free gifts in a red ugly plastic bag. but slice open the cardboard box, is the apple packaging. apple never fails to amaze me with their neat&sleek packaging. guess the thrill is lessened since i've used mac for some time in school, but nevertheless, its MY macbook. yay.)

today started with gamescom meeting. rather unfruitful one today because its early morning and everyone was halfdead, besides the usual sane jess.. and, we had a hiccup in the morning due to miscom, but it was rather funny :X oh, the com abused my crocpiak.

service was good.
though people may be more physically there than the big guy upstairs, that guy can never be shaken, my strong fotress..
i thought that the ending must have made eelee rather proud, the fruits of her labour.. when she was taking care of northeast, i was still a disobedient unconnected believer who happened to be at camp. she prayed for me to get holyspirit bapted! (: investment in lives of people in the kingdom, hmm.

got kidnapped alongside with tian and peng to rc first since buffet guy was there already.

there were tears.
but there i see a strong people who treasure one another.

there are unspoken regrets deep within me, things i felt i could have done better, things i wish i could see to completion, things i wish to see be done..
but i guess its normal.. so i will do what i can now.
theres much to think through, much to fulfill, hence the saturated mind.

went to tiamo with zionites!
in the wave of my mixed emotions, i gobbled down an icecream waffle and three chicken wings... rather binge eating since i ate w.o stopping, lol.

theres bound to be emotions, missing one another, unfamiliar changes, scary situations.
but we will all go through them, in hope that the kingdom come soon, and we will go back to our fellowshipping in heaven.

hohoho.
im scared, but i want. 0 comments

(the photo is a page in the book, i added in the words that are on the cover...)
finally bought the notebook from artbox today.
liked it since i saw it but thought its not really worth the moolah... and i got it today because i was... emotionally unstable.. but i like it. :D

i feel felt defeated, like a loser.

oh yah, at artbox also, theres these series of diaries which i cant rmb the name of. (then cannot go their website, @#$%) but anw, those diaries are so so so nice, i looked through them and my legs go weak, lol. every single page is different and made up of mixedmedia? like photog and illustration blended on papers printed with texture. woah, super hot.
hot price too- 40bucks for one, complete with mothly/weekly/wants planner and many pages to journal.

you will be mine next year...

and i realise i adore adore illustrations now. must be the drawing in ideation classes.
illustrations are truly powerful...

oh wells.
my whole day was spent in amk, meeting up tian/sarah/teng and teaching rachel/weilun chinese. (yea, this is a joke.) then had impromptu shepherding with yihui. thankyou shepherd.
today she is highly annoited i think, LOL.
the analogies were cool...

and and and
Crumbs is moving in tomorrow :D i am a happy girl.

OH, forgot to announce:

and, thanks pamyeo!

i have a sudden urge to blog, though i have yet to write my 2minute presentation speech, but...

LIFE IN TDS, 300407-220507
ONE

expensive.
these copic markers cost $4.90 each. (and they are all not mine, i only got the black one. LOL) oh, but they rock, i finally understand why jonquek likes them. and, i have spent loads on materials like the acid free paper (3 times the price of normal paper) which we eventually got after much discussion (we kiasu), gouache paint, which is actually watercolour ._. (we kena bluff, we n0obs), folders etc. you get the drift.

TWO.

sleepless nights.
this is just a screenshot that i happen to catch before going offline one of those nights. just thought its interesting. there are nights where people dont sleep at all (:
msn windows with long list of green men under the TDS contacts keep all of us going togther.
we are all in this together, lalalala.

i have never been so serious about work my whole academic life. nor have i been this hardworking. good peer influence? everyone in class works hard.

THREE

deadlines ring in your head.
this is a random photo of an ant randomly squashed in my comdi lecture notes. what a sad way to die, on a citations page. this is like a continuation from the previous point. :P

FOUR.

sharing the joy.
this is half the class after our first comdi presentation. this is year one first sem standard of "formal wear". lol. it's time for me to go shopping... i have talented classmates, it's great to see their works man. but i dont have photo of the other half of the clas.. hmm...

FIVE

taking random photos anywhere, anytime.
look at the guys hiding behind us.

yea, i dont camwhore one. only when people wants to take lor. :P
got other shots, i cannot post here. or that green one next to me will kill me. ^^

SIX

TDS is like Appleville or smthg, all the computers use Mac. and we have iMac labs that can be used for free. shiok. not to mention the macbooks, macbook pros everywhere that everyone uses. my class right now have three macbook owners already. my crumbs is on its way! (:

SEVEN

western food.
this is fish and chips from jupiter cafe, im amused they take the effort to do that. i have been eating chickenchop/cutlet/beefsteak/fishnchips almost everyday. somehow i have yet to discover nicer food. ): been snacking alot cause we only have 20 minutes break due to our dear 9-3 timetables. but i still love ending sch at 3 (:
but this means i ought to exercise right. eating this kind of unhealthy stuff everyday ._.

EIGHT

care!
my class sold hamsters for campuscareday- which is a day where the diff schs will have funfair to raise funds for the needy students. thats my hand and thats fluffball. sold him eventually T_T some lucky people got to bring home some unsold hamsters. (: i took many many many photos of them and played with them the whole day but lazy to upload...

NINE

sharing first experiences!

went for my first ever photoshoot with them!
went to the nearby pasir ris park, nearby from school i mean..
was rather eventful and memorable, especially with worm... there was this freaky worm who floats in midair. only our brave giant looks at it and "so cute..." the rest? scream, lah. we girls mah.

TEN

never a dull moment!
im proud of this shot! took it during the photoshoot tyco-ly. haha, the cat is cute and tame though.

so far this is it.
till i discover more in the coming weeks/blocks/sems/years...

i guess its niceness at first.

gradually you see the selfishness lurk. it freaks me out sometimes. but i thank God i got reliable friends, who wount dump you for their interests.

i guess its reality, this is what happens out there, isnt it? 0 comments

i didnt want to leave it unfinished
i didnt want to leave it uncertain
i didnt want to leave it open
i didnt want to leave it bitter

i dont want to leave it unhappy. 0 comments

*clears away the thick layers of cobwebs.

haha, i have mia-ed from blogger for a rather long time, even the past few entries have been rather nonsensical.

just done with the grp discussion for our final presentation tomorrow and am blogging from the iMac room : D

wanted to blog yesterday night but due to sleeping for 1.5 hours for the previous night (was painting like tens of guitars for my gift wrap design), i zonked out at nine pm yesterday night. never slept so early before. ._/.

my holidays are starting on thursday!
after 15 sessions of both modules.
this few weeks have been fun overall, despite severe lack of sleep on certain days...

been drawing, sketching, painting (i cant paint... i cant paint.), cutting and collaging for my first module... and doing presentations for the second module. tds has block teaching system so we do two modules per block which is like a few weeks.

hoho, shall upload photos later on... or maybe some other day :X

rawr. i miss my friends and social life... haha...
can go out during hols already (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((: 0 comments

it must be sleeping too little...
actually the giant is laughing at my emoticon >:(

got to be in school in six hours time... 0 comments

haha, i have been slacking, and im a little behind the stuff i ought to do. so a quick post.

yesterday night was awesome, had a meeting at debbies place complete with lame youtube vids, our diy gogofranks and baconcheesething which i dont know is called what ._." and a really good teaching by bill hybels.

...

i guess i need to ponder and plan.

after i deal with my 2500 essays :/

eat a chill pill... 0 comments

i am feeling sleeeeeepy.
but woah, haven't been so relaxed for a long time, feels like a long time anyway.

this week has been CHIONG, (put that on marquee, lol).

this is a stark contrast with my lifestlye the past few weeks, when i had all the time i need since i had no school, and was stoning life away. now i am too busy... first week and it's so hiong already.
but, i am enjoying myself lah, the homework beats anything in sec sch, though i sleep 4 hours per day now.

so i need more strength and more time management, and a laptop so i can work outside with human beings. i realise i dont fancy solitude so much anymore. but haha, this life is like the one i have imagined...

too sleepy to type coherently.
had a simple but fruitful dinner with fong while the rest macs-ed at serangoon after pm today.
and there's school tomorrow before service... some session that makes me feel like it is cme...

it's time to learn how to make up and conceal those eyebags and dark eye rings. 0 comments

i just took my ipod out from the fridge.

hahahaha! this is how disoriented i am nowadays. went to take my little cake treat out from the fridge, and realised my ipod is in the same plastic bag, omg... thank God it still works.

i heard my fair share of tales from GLs and some other DES seniors that chionging can be fun, especially when everyone is still online together, working together in the same spirit, in cyberspace... i admit it is fun, but i am just shocked to realise my chionging has started, and this is my third day of official school ._.

slept at 1am plus yesterday night gathering information for my design icon and making a collage. oh yaaaa, my design icon is LEGO. :D haha! wanted to do Apple or Levi's but there are other people in the class doing and no point doing self a disfavour. so many Apple fans around aye...

life has been rather hectic.. and definitely physically demanding.

i was late for school for the first time in my life yesterday morning. ):
stupid rain cause my bus to jam like 20 minutes longer than usual? and i was standing and falling asleep. then chionged down to amk after school to meet the zionites, and i was carsick. omg, first time. due to drawing on the upper deck and looking up once every 2mins to check if the bus is heading the right direction. was super nauseous and dizzy.. was supposed to meet everyone from nea1, but only met up with teng and tian and disturbed them while they mug :X met panghuishan and joannetng and they went to eat lunch with me! :D hung around with the zionites and went back home to chiong..

oh, smrt realised i have been posing as a jc student and recently my student fare has been cut off and im finally using adults fees.
oh my go$h ):
will probably get Crumbs only a month later. but i really see the need and convenience it's gonna bring man.

OH, tp design sch campus care day on 18th may/friday!
smthg like a funfair to raise fund$ for our needy students.
interested?

i am beginning to understand why sometimes jiancong lacks enthusiasm in finishing his wonderful homework. dont get me wrong, i dont regret going to TDS at all, despite the shitty busrides. the environment is really challenging and squeezes all yr creativity juice to its max..

you stayed till the end of this ranting entry... so
some snapshots of some works we have done:
all in grpwork...

the activity where the grp has to come up with 100 diff kind of lines:

and zooming in to the interesting bits:

an activity in COMdi where we have to come up with a funny comic strip then narrate a story while learning narrative writing.

oh and forgot to post this up.
ANDERSEN'S ICE CREAM FAMILY FONDUE.
gigi treated us on sunday at amkhub (:

totally awesome lor, the best fondue i ever had.. thankyou gi!
