The Gift Of Love.

1:34 AM

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; then I became an adult, I put and end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

awwww (:
this was what the pastor read yesterday at miss cheong's wedding!

slice of my life 2

10:55 AM

Quick update before i go back to doing xmas gift stuff!

okay here's what ive been doing for the past week or so.

(ok actually my routine was: tuition in the morning, followed by job-hunting ):

last pic: it shld be the first one! haha. cycling at east coast park with mummy, norman, kevin, kg. hahha kevin wore his NS specs. damn funny. okay sorry. anyway it was an enjoyable day (: aft that we went to play xbox at the grand cathay. daddy joined us! (: the game topspin 2 is DAMN funnnn. i love using roger federer.:D hes the best!

1st 3 pics: went on a shopping cum pig-out session with yeowlin! when 2 ppl who are too free go out tgt, they do dumb stuff. for example, go frm wisma to PS to bugis and BACK to PS again HAHA. it's damn lame. oh he brought me to this dessert shop in bugis. the black sesame paste with peanut paste is surprisingly good! :D and the mango sago is great too. must try!

next 2 pics: my tutee's little cousin!!! he's ADORABLE. he kept calling me ah-yi (auntie) at first and i was so sad lol. do i look old?? ok i think i do. recently i keep wearing corporate attire cuz i need to go to interviews.. speaking about interviews i have an appointment with the director of redwoods advance this wednesday! i think im probably gonna be a promoter BUT it's such a lowly position why does the director have to meet me? it's weird.. but anyways wish me luck! :D

ok the pic after the cousin is my tutee! she was real well-behaved at first but recently she's getting on my nerves! oh well. i promised to sketch a portrait of a ballerina for her and i did so yesterday. realised that i really cant draw people as well as i draw objects. have to work on it. sigh. so anyway this tuition job is cheap labour. the agency takes away 50% of my pay as commission! (albeit for the first month only) BUT im only working for 2 weeks -_- so that means i get 135 instead of 270! qian bu hao zhuan..

pic 6: daddy invited mummy and i to her company's (prudential) fun nite! hahah it was REAL awkward at first cuz we didnt know anyone but there was great food and.. sour wine. =/ i really prefer sweeter wine.

pic 7 and 8: i learnt how to dance chacha! it was hilarious at first cuz im someone with practically no dance sense! peishan's boss taught me the basic steps AHHA. so paiseh.

pic 9&10: we took a pic in front of the nice mirror! yay. and jiali helped us take polaroids:D my first polaroid! it's damn pretty. thinking of getting a polaroid for myself in uni. after i earn lots of money (hopefully)

pics 11-13: aft the party we went cafe cartel cuz it was 50% off cakes! :D yum. i think the cheesecake and the mango cake were the best. the bitter fudge was a bit too chocolatey for our liking.

pics 14&15: was supposed to go music clinic openhouse with zijie but when we went in, the people said the openhouse was on the next day -_- man, it was damn malu. he remembered the wrong date lah! dots. so we went to eat instead! curry chicken noodles at chinatown. BEST! it was my first time trying curry chicken noodles. (eat it with the thick kind of beehoon) it's kinda like laksa! i love the way the taupok soaks up the curry. it's not thick curry it's more soupy so it's damn delicious! the queue's perpetually long. i just wish the chicken would have less bones..

sigh! my digicam's spoilt. it's damn weird. the first photo you take when you turn on the camera is okay. but after that, all the photos become overly bright and blur. =/

ive sent it for repairs.. which means, NO CAMERA FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS ): dang.. it's supposed to be party season!

oh wells. shall try to borrow a cam frm my dad.

YY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! (:

everything seems so perfect from far away.

2:10 AM

because i liked the view,
when there was me and you.

my first sketch! (:
i got 2 other sketches which i'll put up later on. recently im so into sketching..

but i cant set myself down to sketch people.
i think they look worse than picasso's paintings.
im not saying picasso's paintings look weird. im saying the people in my sketches look distorted. HAHA.
it turns out kinda like
cubism. (which is a bad thing, for sketching!)

life has been okay..
my applicaton for the teaching internship was REJECTED!
i mean, hello MOE you are BLIND.
i shall not be bothered with you people from now on.

-sulks-

oh well, onward to other better jobs!

of contentment and loneliness.

2:10 AM

my blessings far outweigh my problems.
HA HA HA. (listen to my jovial laughter!)
i feel damn happy every day.
i think i'm a super carefree person.
i mean, what can worry me?
I've got a perfect life!
great friends..
great food at home for me to eat..
loving parents..
what more can i ask for?
what position am i in to ask for more?

------------------------

man, i just love writing this kind of entries.
i think i sound like a retard, but i don't care.
no, really, i can't remember the last time i could recite the above words like i meant it.

is contentment.. really that hard to achieve?
we're always hankering for more more more things in life..
more new toys.. more gadgets.. more money..
higher social status.. greater success in careers..
more love..

and when do you stop?

i think imma classic extrovert. i draw my energy from people..
when it's late at night and im all alone i suddenly feel like im this empty shell.
especially now.. when my guy friends are going into army 1 by 1..
the emptiness sets in.

it becomes even more obvious when it's late at night..
when nobody can hear you cry..

then you know you're really alone.

belle memoire and my boring life now.

3:18 PM

Belle Memoire has finally ended! haha i don't know why i don't like to call it "Prom".
maybe it's the french that attracts me.

okay, apart from the lousy food and my badly mutilated feet, it was a great night (:
seeing everyone dressed to their best was certainly a treat.

alrighttt i shall post some pics! tonnes of collages. if yall wanna see the full sized ones pls go to my facebook photo albums! :D if yall want the pics in full resolution i'll send them to yall on msn! :D

HERE GOES!

my junior asked me how i maintain the same smile in ALL the pics.
HAHA. shucks. must train one.

im so bored at home every day. SO BORED. i need something to do.
xinyi, if you see this, YOU'RE in charge of organising the baking session at jo's house! :D
tifen, im still in the midst of giving birth to money! i will find a job and we'll go pig out!
in the meantime, talk to me on msn if you see me online!! :D

slice of my life

11:02 AM

life had been hectic for the past few days.

finally had a chance to chill at shan's house. watched the movie "7" which stars brad pitt and morgan freeman whom we addressed affectionally as BP and MF throughout the whole show.

we were quite lame, shouting "omg run! BP run!! aiyah MF so slow! ahhhh! noooo don't go!"

the movie was not bad (: damn exciting hahaha

then we watched "the 40-year-old virgin" -_-

oh man that was a BAD decision. please DON'T watch it.

pigged out at chomp chomp.. stuffed myself with snacks..

i don't dare to weigh myself now hahaha. man, why did i stuff myself with food just a few days before prom.

people change..
feelings change.
who do you trust?

some random pics:

(finally i have pics with dad and mum!)

although we do have disagreements now and then, they're the most supportive parents ever.
