Never to for[get] [Wednesday the 21st ] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | Side 2- Dressy Bessy ] How my birthday became so memorable was when.. 1. I got a phone call at 1 plus am, telling me to open my door. I opened it only to be surprised by the coolest bunch of people who cooked my favourite scrambled eggs and gave me my favourite ice milo. 2. I could bring Glenn to church before he had to leave to Cameron Highlands that night with his family. He insisted that he wanted to follow me wherever I went. 3. Peiying, Iman, Joey and Mariah all lined up to hug me and give me their presents in nicely wrapped boxes and bags. <3 4. Pastor Kong was preaching in our church! Seeing him give Pastor How a hug was like.. D: 5. My family had a nice home-cooked meal rather than the usual restaurant visit. 6. The CG gave me a beautiful drawing block thing with their messages. 7. I read Fungqi's and Silly's smses. 8. Cheryl gave me a cake which she baked herself. I baked the PSLE kids a horrible strawberry cake that Tuesday before and she wanted to make one for me! 9. Fiorina handed me 2 tupperwares of cookies that she took time to make too. 10. Uncle Gilbert and Aunty Ning Jer thanked me for taking care of all the kids that they brought to church. 11. I simply had supper with my favourite going-home friend. Thank you! 1 + saved the best for last + +

Barrage+ [Thursday the 15th ] [ mood | impressed ] [ music | Xin Yu- Jay Chou ] Marina Barrage with the P6 kids was simply awesome. It is moments spent with the kids in such a relax environment that you truly get to kick back and hang out and go crazy with them. (: Glenn and Dexter became my good buddies after the outing. I told them that we'll go out again next Wednesday and they have already started helping me think of where we should go and what we should do. Dexter's so excited about meeting for breakfast on Saturday and Glenn's coming to do BMI with me tomorrow! D: Peiying is amazing too. Fung and I were just talking about her today and we realised how much she has changed. One year ago, Peiying was still playing at Nee Soon East Park, refusing to come to church with us. Now she is someone who raises her hands and worships God, brings her friends to church, a leader in the house of God. Every single friend that she brings to church is so good and open because she has already incubated them. A person of prayer. And when her friends come, they always say that they want to carry the burden with Peiying as well, they're going to invite their friends too. That is the spirit of evangelism that she passes down. Fiorina is another prayer warrior! PSLE's over, she's praying every day for her friends to come and making use of every opportunity to invite her classmates, cousins.. Most of all, behind this whole outing- Wei Min, Yvonne and Fung Qi. They're the ones who made it happen. Wei Min's first time planning an outing like this, but it was so sucessful! The kids loved it, they were so happy and every one went mad together. Yvonne, being her normal usual crazy self, built atmosphere and made sure the outing ran smoothly. Fung Qi had Mindgym but still brought the kids down, administrated the whole thing and supervised. The team of teachers in Three Hundred never fail to blow me away. 0 + saved the best for last + +

Locks back please [Sunday the 4th ] [ mood | optimistic ] [ music | God of This City- Chris Tomlin ] I miss long hair much much. C'mon Yo. Persevere! You can resist the temptation of walking into a hair salon and sitting down for a rashly-made decision of cutting hair! So anyway, it's Building Fund. So it's a good time to save money and stop cutting. Amen! D: I like it. Grow hair, grow. 2 + saved the best for last + +

Suor-sdei [Sunday the 13th ] [ mood | contemplative ] [ music | The Man Who Can't Be Moved- The Script ] Big,,, Today on the MRT to church, I thought about you and all the things that are happening in your life right now. I've only got one sister. And that's you. I've grown up with you all 20 years of my life. (How unfortunate. Ha ha! Kidding!) And even though I don't see you every day, you have a big big space in my heart. I've looked up to you all the time. I just wanted to be like you in every way. Remember that story I told you before about the two brothers? I really feel like the younger brother sometimes. And I'm just following in your footsteps. (: You're the cooler one, the smarter one, the prettier one. You should be in Cambodia in a few weeks actually. But on Mummy's birthday, you told us about how you're delaying the trip for one year because you gave that money you saved for Building Fund. I have to be honest, I'm very happy that you're staying.. When you first told me about heading to Cambodia to volunteer, I know I'm supposed to be happy for you. And I guess for a while there, I was really happy. Yea mann! I get to bring my friends over, talk loudly without getting any smses from you to ask me to lower my volume, I can borrow your clothes! But after thinking more about it, I got pretty sad. I think I still am. I know that this time next year, I'll really be missing you. We would all be at the airport sending you off. I feel like I lost you to Siem Reap. Ha ha. I know, you'll be back to visit and all. But I just really want you to know that I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you a lot a lot. I definitely support you going over there. But please don't forget that you have a sister back in Singapore. Aiyoh. This entry machiam like you going off already. But, I just thought I'll tell you how much you really mean to me because I don't express that much. So, for this one year left, I'm going to hang out more with you! "An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too." --- Pam Brown Thank you for being my sister (although it's not like you have any choice) and always being there. I'm glad that you're going to be around to celebrate one more birthday of mine. Hey. I love you, Jiejie. D: 1 + saved the best for last + +

Check my air [Monday the 31st ] [ mood | calm ] [ music | Vienna- Billy Joel ] "She brought you something special when she came here, didn't she? That's what you hold onto. That's how you keep her alive." --- Bridge to Terabithia. It's amazing how when we sat down and talked about you, all the thoughts we had were so God-given. Her dream about being reminded that you'll always be a child of God, and mine about you encouraging me to pray and have boldness. That chat alone made me even more in awe of God. Seeing them back must have made you ecstatic. Somehow, I enjoyed myself tremendously talking to them. It was very much like family. Ah, and after so much, I'm still missing you. Thank you for just, being around. 0 + saved the best for last + +

I'll miss you so,, [Saturday the 29th ] [ mood | thoughtful ] [ music | Love And Memories- O.A.R ] I thought my last day would be one filled with joy. I mean, I have been filled with anticipation for this day to arrive. But when I walked into the centre, I felt so sad looking at all the good friends I have made for the past 3 months. I talked to my principal that day about what I want to do when I graduate. She shared with me that she used to work at a desk job. But she felt that "there was a lack of colour". When she hopped on the early childhood bandwagon, she "discovered that colour". I nodded my head in agreement then but my mind was thinking how different it can be. That understanding found me today when I sat in those tiny chairs meant for the kids, looking at them. Yolanda: (Admires Aloysius' drawing.) Hey, Aloysius, you know, next time when you grow up, you can be a cartoonist! Aloysius: What's a cartunis? Yolanda: Cartoonist. Someone that draws cartoons. You draw very very well! Aloysius: (Smiles sheepishly.) Yolanda: But tell me, what do you want to be when you grow up? Aloysius: Teacher Yo, I want to be like you. 6 + saved the best for last + +

Of a million years. [Friday the 21st ] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Ooh La La- Goldfrapp ] I burst out laughing when I saw this tagged on my Facebook. It's really funny. But at the same time, I thought it was pretty amazing. (: Sort of the same feeling when you step out of the aeroplane and realise you're walking on air. I can't wait for 10th Anniversary. What's more, August is the month when I first came to church. So that'll make 11 years of being home. <3 1 + saved the best for last + +
