i think this is funny~ hurhur.

juz had my lunch. nothing to do in the afternoon..mayb i should start dismantling the e-drumset.
mum is whining..i mean complaining about it for quite some time ler
she doesn't like the idea of me playing drums. well..
wad's new..

time to shift it to andrew's house if lil' wans it..
or mayb i'll leave it at zhong's house for the time being.
*shrugs

now that reginald has to rest at home..oso not sure if he's going for youth camp..
i feel as though the camp com is 'crippled'; it's the same feeling like the beginning when three of them left..
this must be one of the times where we are taking up multiple roles again.

God..i ask of Your strength to be upon us

cross stitch.
bought a small one and wanted to do it for dear's bday. started a little on mon night and i super over-estimated myself.
happily thought that i could get it done today morning and early afternoon since he'll be away for his army medical check up.
well well..
i did finish of cos.. but i skipped some of the stitches! haha.
was rushing to catch 'master and commander'..

hmmm..
show was pretty weird in the beginning. couldn't understand until i think the second half! haha.
but a couple of gross scenes.. esp when the doc amputated someone's arm using a chopper!
and when the doc got shot in his rib cage area..the stand-by doc was kinda useless. he was asked to remove the bullet and he replied "i can do it. but i would need to read thru the medical manuals and see a couple of pictures first!"
so dumb!
but well, in the end, the injured doc did it himself with the help of a pathetic seaman holding a mirror in front of him.
must be the funniest scene in the entire show..

had cell today. juz the five of us but it facilitates sharing.
im glad i shared. reali.
and i learnt a very important and essential lesson today.
-- the importance of having your boyfriend/girlfriend serving whole-heartedly and maintaining an intimate relationship with God.

i guess i never did ponder on how this will affect me until juz now during the sharing with sabrina and arlene.
the journey of a christian is never an easy one..neither is it a smooth-sailing one.
to get yourself attached to someone who doesn't maintain an intimate relationship with God is going to drag you down..and far from God.
no one there to encourage you..to urge you..to tug and nudge you along..
the result: increasing distance from Him.

so i thank God for zhongfa who continually reminds me to spend quality time with Him..to spend time worshipping Him..to always initiate a time of prayer together from time to time.

i think im so blessed today.
although cell was without praise & worship but nonetheless, He revealed something so real and close to my heart.
some things are still bothering me but i know it's going to be alright..
sabrina is right.
december, a time of reconcilation and renewal of relationships.

met up with my fyp mates this afternoon for lunch at cck mac.
tried the mc dippers at last! haha. it's okie lah.. fish nuggets as dear calls it.

reached dear's place around 3 plus..and he was blogging so he ignored me! Boo..
after that, slacked a while.. gave him his bday brownie.
was kinda hard by today..haha. but he ate it still.

went to shop a little at plaza sing.. and he bought himself a drumstix.
and i was telling him.. seems like he buys drumstix every birthdays. he bought a pair for me on my birthday and now..for himself on his birthday!
had dinner at fish & co, glasshouse.
waited quite a while and that place is so freezing cold.
the food turned cold in like 5 mins? brrrr..
and i think i ate a lot! no... we ordered a lot. and so we ate a lot! haha.

though a little drizzle by the time we are done.. still went to the 'blue-star' place.
haven been there for such a long time. and im so glad we went today. hehz.
din go to the usual place cos it was wet so we stayed under the 'blue-star'.
and then after a while, came a few kids playing soccer. wonder where they came from anyway..

yep..that marks the end of my hari raya puasa! haha. =)

*blessed birthday dear!

okie.. im back from my second last paper.
the first section was okie. the second section wasn't.
qns were rather vague so all our answers actually differ.
but wad the heck.. it's over!

after that, we started talking about where to go after exams.
cos before that, we wanted to go for buffet.
den someone suggested merchant court int'l buffet so i guess we'll be going there.
gonna book soon.. it's 30++
ex eh?


and then we started estimating our grades.
i was telling them my best best best shots would be ABBC and a B for elective
and my worst worst worst would be BCCD and a C for elective..
and my frens were telling me that i was being so positive in saying my worst is BCCD..

hmm.. not sure how they really feel.. but i guess i wun do very badly bahz.

today's paper was a disaster! haha.
basically, i din know how to answer 2 qns, which made up half of the paper.
the qns went like
"what is sex and how is it distinct from sexuality?"..
"why is relationship considered a basic part of human nature?"..

....

how i know?? *scratch head
okie, maybe it's in the notes but i just can't really recall anything.


now now.. im slacking again!
i got 5 chpts to go before finishing my revision for wed's paper.
i'll finish one by tonight so that i have 4 tmr.

and i feel so no life now! haiz.

i think im in trouble.
i got 8 more chapters to go for wed's morning paper.
and 8 more for fri's afternoon paper.

which means, i gotta finish 8 chpts on mon evening (cos i got paper in the afternoon) and tues itself. then wed morning is the paper

and then i need to rush 8 chpts on wed afternoon and thurs itself!


the reason why i think im in trouble becos my rate is only around 3 chpts a day!

//posted by ivy @ 22:57//

Oh no..
Oh No...
OH NO....

zhong is leading for youth tmr. and im playing drums.
OH NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo..

today was such a wet day.
started pouring like mad when i was making my way to the exams hall.. and i got myself real drenched by the time i reached my venue.
worse still, my finger got cut by my fren's umbrella. was careless when i was opening her umbrella.. so part of my finger got clipped together with the metal thingy u pressed to open up the umbrella.
*ouch.

it hurts manz.. the flesh was literally dangling..
was juz a few mins from exams.. thank God i had plasters in my wallet.. took out and pasted.. and i was off to the exams hall all wet and 'bloody'--my finger!

it was so cold the entire paper.. i was half shivering, half trying to write out my essay within the short time.

paper ended.. i headed for sabby's house. was lazy to go back home and out again. rained again!
so i was a little wet when i got there..

had a fantastic time in cell today. we shared on what impacted us most from the 'mind of Christ' series and had a time of sharings and prayers. i prayed with yvon and sabby. well, we spent the time talking and then when everyone else is done, we started praying!

after that.. as usual is makan time. but some of us stayed back a bit more.. and i think we had a great time of 'tai-tai' session, on top of bullying reginald too! hahaha.
and guess what?
when i was making my way home... it started raining again!
and so.. i was wet when i reached home too.
oh manz.. it's such a wet day today!

i feel like sleeping now. i feel like eating supper too!
which shld i choose?

acctg paper was a breeze..
sure score high high..
as easy as ABC..

LIKE REAL!!..
sigh..it's a bad paper.
i wasted so much time on a qn which i still ended up writing rubbish.
wad a waste of my previous one week trying to study accts when most of the qns are weirdos!


anyway, juz came back from dinner with dear.
went over his house to study for my elective.. but he gotta help his dad with some stuffs and had to go down to chinatown. so im left alone in his room with his little bro who is ever so notti and cheeky.
after a while, his mum was so nice. poured me a warm glass of chrysanthemum tea and asked me to study hard. hahaz. i was so tempted to tell her to tell her son that! =)

and finally..dear came back. den we went for dinner.
now now.. im behaving as thou my exams are officially over when in fact, im only done with 1/5 of it!

i got back half my acctg in-class marks.
Accts quiz (8%) : A
Accts spreadsheet (5%) : A
Accts case study (12%) : B

currently waiting for class participation (10%) and proj (15%)..
and all these 5 components make up 50% of my final exam.
scary.
and i got no confidence in my final paper.
two more chpts to go before declaring full-stop to accts..
but its not that beneficial cos i merely read thru all the allocated chpts.. but din practice.
so i doubt i can do well.. and of cos, i dun think i can remb much by mon.

well well.. time to bathe and leave the house.
