Photos tell stories~

I was just looking at some random photos, I posted them up on facebook, smiled, then I had this sudden jolt. "I've got an idea for my new blog update!"

These random photos are up here as well, and as I said, photos have stories written all over them, whether good or bad, each story shimmers with life. A photo is just a stationary object, but look inside and you can find a billion fascinating things that move and paint pictures in our minds.

This will remain one of my best memories (: The photo was taken on the night where I went to Universal Studios for the 3rd time. That's right, its an Oscar. Well, not a real one, but one that still glows underneath light and glimmers when I look at it. Though the "gold" on it actually peels, that's not stopping me from giving it a good polish everyday. The words "World's greatest daughter" give me a kick start every morning. (: When I look at it, I feel all nice inside.

These 5 boxes of sweets aren't just ordinary sweets, they're Profresh boxes. (: Though these boxes are empty, in my eyes, they're full of love. (: Each box is like a member of the Dyt fc, sweet, caring, they're people who light a flame that never dies, people who make you laugh till you tear, people who make a deep mark in you. And like the sweet itself, the taste just remains in your mouth forever, like the friendship they give. (:

Thank you Jies, and Shevy and Charlotte for making Dyt fc the greatest fan club to be in.

Thank you photos, for doing such a great job telling my stories.

Never tired~

I never grow tired of having fun, I never grow tired of watching this one show, I never grow tired of doing the things I love (:

Just yesterday, I went to Universal Studios for the 4th time. People reading or hearing me talk about it will go, "Whatt? Again?" Well. I just never grow sick of it. At around 2 p.m. yesterday, under the sunny skies and breezy air, Shev and I were holding on to our passes, which glowed in the sunlight, and we were ready to step in to have fun. Although the weather was a bit unbearable for some, I chose to look at it in a different light. God was just happy.

The usual glorious music played at the entrance while before us was the Universal globe, which was standing there and proudly spinning, letting me once again feel, "I'm in Hollywood." (: Its quite a usual sight for me now, but not one that I would get sick of.

The first attraction we went to was Lights, Camera, Action! which was the place that I wouldn't miss out. Ever. For me, when I do stuff at theme parks, I'll sit or stand at the best spot to soak in the full effect. I've been like this observant park hunter who hunts for the best seats and spots. (:

One thing that I did not forget to go on that afternoon was The Revenge Of The Mummy ride. I went on it twice that day, making my total 10 times. How I love it. The dark, the mummies wrapped in bandages, gold plated jewelry and scarab beetles, all these make me feel like I really am in Ancient Egypt. And what more can I say about the roller coaster itself? Its just awesome.

Did I mention that we had an awesome time doing luge as well?? Hee.










Though June hols are coming to an end, I'll continue to work hard for yet another trip to Universal. (:

Daddy day~

Its really late now, but who cares anyway. (: Oh my eyes do. I've been getting dark circles lately. =P But I'm itching to blog right now. Ready, set, gooo! (:

Today was daddy's day, and I had a great time out with dad, king of the day. Mom was out working so we played guides to dad and brought him around doing stuff. We had a great buffet lunch at Amirah's grill. The place was fascinating. I felt like I was somewhere in Ancient Egypt, and somehow, I could picture myself in a mummy's tomb. Arabic tunes filled the restaurant which was like a ghost town due to our early arrival. 11:15 a.m. by the way. (Hehe, after church.)

The food was only okay, but the good thing was that they served AUTHENTIC Turkish and middle east cuisine. I loved my beef and veggie soup! Those were the best. I think I spent most of my time there getting second helpings. Hee hee (:

We headed to Bugis Junction after that to catch Karate Kid. I should've brought man sized tissues for Dad. He was sobbing away! After the movie, he spent the 5 mins on the escalator down to the car park telling us how the show was "Morale boosting". Haha. Personally, I think its a great movie for all ages (: Inspirational and "morale boosting." Haha. We three were practically spending the whole afternoon talking about it non-stop!

No wonder mom seemed a little envious. Oh well. (: Today was still a great day anyway. (:
Although its past 12 already, I still wanna wish all daddies a Happy Fathers' Day! (:

Surprisingly sweet~

I love the feeling you get when its your birthday, you think nobody remembers, and you come home, switch on the lights, and a dozen people scream, "SURPRISE!" 

But no, today wasn't my birthday or anything, it was just the eve of father's day. I went to dinner trying to put on my best fake smile, but what the heck. I come out that happy-go-lucky girl again. I guess its what family gives you. I bought the cake for everyone, and they polished it off. It satisfied me and made my stomach feel this warmth, a warmth that nobody else but family can give you.

Today's dinner was just as typical as any other dinner celebration, but God made it especially different for me. In the rest of the family's eyes, its just like any other ordinary Christmas where shoes crowd the doorsteps and screams and laughter fill the playroom, but for me, it gave me indescribable comfort. It was like as though God was telling me, "Its not so bad isn't it? Missing the DYT event didn't hurt you at all." 

Now I agree with God. And I'll triumphantly give a big shout out to all daddies out there right now. Although its not father's day yet, missing 10 minutes ain't so bad. I wish all the big daddies, small daddies, plump daddies, smart daddies, and even daddies-to-be Happy. Fathers. Day. (:

On this day, God wants me to know~

~ that today you can help a thousand people see God's light. Feel God's light shining within you and take a step to inspire someone else to shine. As you share this vision today with just one soul, that reaches ten lives that touch a thousand.


Reading this, I kind of see a light in my path. A light that shines on what I'm supposed to do in life. So, I'm supposed to share God's word with many people? I hear ya lord, but how? I can do it but I need to know how.
I live to inspire, but I have a few questions that are left unanswered.

But I feel relieved in a way. I finally found out God's purpose for me. I get the feeling that he showed me the way, I get the feeling that I see a light heading in a good direction, where I'll never get lost.
Thank you so much lord, for calling out to me.

The only thing I need now is, a way. What's the one step I can take to get closer to your purpose for me?

Songs fit your mood~

Right now, I'm listening to "dropping rain"(The first song on my mixpod) while typing this and my mood isn't that good. I find it so amazing that some songs do fit your mood. Like this song I'm listening to. It's a heart breaker. The singer's voice is beautifully crafted, but it can make you shed some tears.

Things happen, and sometimes I get so annoyed at how two important events clash. Saturday's the date of one important event originally - The SCAPE launch festival at which Dai Yang Tian will be making an appearance at. I was really looking forward to it, like how a baby looks forward to cuddling a bolster and falling asleep in mommy's arms. Baby squeaks, reaches out for mommy, and smiles. Its that simple. But not for me.

Sunday is father's day, where I have to attend two dinners, one on my mom's side and one on my dad's. Obviously I'm being torn apart between two decisions. Nevermind. My mom made an effort to postpone the dinner to another day, but guess what? News arrives, and plop! there it goes. The dinner is now on saturday, clashing with the scape event.

How I wish that effort made could've been a little more useful. Being a grandchild of old grandparents who don't have much time to live, I'm practically caught in a net - I'll never dare to break grandparents' hearts but its so rare that I get a chance to do any DYT things.

That's why I know why songs can fit my mood. The song dropping rain is a cry, and so is this post. I just hope I can confide in God to show me the way. I'm not saying that I don't know what the right thing is. I just need support.

Thank you lord~

Chocolate~

I have to seriously cut down on the amount of chocolate I'm eating. To me, chocolate's like a guilty pleasure, its sinful, its sweet and its my favourite. Call me chocoholic, but I ate a warm chocolate cake yesterday, oozing with chocolate lava, which was warm, sweet and real delicious. I couldn't take my eyes off the prize. The best part - Hershey's chocolate syrup smeared all over the petite cake, making it practically irresistible. (I sound like a food critic now!)

To go with it was delicious vanilla ice-cream. (: Darn, I should have took a pic of it. But seriously, all this chocolate eating is giving me pimple breakouts. I really should cut down. I'm gonna miss my chocolate, and....

I contradict myself. -.-

The little things that make you happy~

Its amazing how the little stuff I do with my buds can make a big difference in my life. (: Like for example, today's outing with the Dainamics was just a simple tea break at white dog cafe scape. But it somehow brings us much closer.

I find it so enlightening when I realise that within that short 2 and a half hours, we can become much closer. And this type of close I'm talking about makes you feel so comfortable no matter how close. Talking, laughing, lazing around, these are the best things to do when I'm with my best buddies.

The things we talk about are so refreshingly funny. I love it when we can actually sit in our seats at the lonely cafe for an hour or so, and just talk, laugh, stare at an incredibly large portion on fish and chips, laugh, and laugh again. Haha. I feel like laughing now.

Thank you to Hui Shi jie, Evon jie and Carmen jie for making a simple outing like that stay one of my best memories with friends. I hope this saturday can be just as great (:

After the outing, I had to take a 50 min train ride home from Somerset. Its always so dreadful to take the train from orchard, because its always sooooo crowded, but in the end, I realised that it sucks when you're on the train alone, and that its actually really okay when you're with your friends on that train. Thank you Charlotte and Shevonne, for making the train a livelier place than just a crowded cabin full of BO, working bags, and noisy kids.

Thank you guys for a wonderful afternoon. :D

I woke up at 11:45~

I woke up at 11:45 a.m. today, and its been getting later ever since I've had my late nights (: But I really do love late nights.

I'm really excited for today, but seeing the pitter patter on the windows, the heavy rain flooding the pool, something tells me that today's gonna be real wet. True enough, I clicked on this link Evon gave me and I was really shocked. My jaw literally dropped.












Disappointed is how I feel :( Nevermind. I hope it'll clear out. If God thinks we deserve it to be cleared out, he'll make it happen. I'd rather smile in the morning. (:

Late Nights~

The past few nights were significant and weird in good ways. The nights were cold and a little chilly , wind blew in the house all the time (wind is blowing in right now), that we had to close the windows. Trust me, it isn't the least bit stuffy. And I've been staying awake till around this time to laze around the com. But I never broke my record yet (: Its 5 A.M.

Sunday was one of the best days. In three random words, I would describe it as..cheerful, funny, great(with a whole lot of meaning). Me and Shev stayed up all night watching movies. Movie watching started at around 5 and dragged all the way to 1:30.

I just realised why I loved all these nights. Cos Dad wasn't there to scold us doing anything. Wheeeee! Thank you world cup 2010. On second thought, I take my darn thank you back. Twitter has been over capacitating like mad. :( I couldn't tweet for an agonising 4 hours!

My Best Memories (:

Written all over in the pictures~

Lessons learnt ~

Lessons learnt ~

June is ending soon.. just two more weeks till school reopens. Just two more weeks till I have to carry a heavy bag, walk up to the 4th floor and listen during classes. But I think this June has been a really unique one for me. This June was like a crazy roller coaster ride - I had thrills, fun, laughter, but there were points of time when I learnt lessons. These lessons were learnt through much tears and sorrow. But in the end, the dark sky turned into a rainbow. I wanna thank so many people for letting me see the light. Those people have to be God, My Jie, Shev, Sean and many besties(:

Thanks to you guys, I've learnt the most important lesson. Pray when you feel down, when you're lost, and God will direct your path.

Life's like a road. Every road will have obstacles. We have to cross the obstacles in order to make what we want happen. (:
