Rambles..

Let me start my wishing everyone a Blessed Easter! It's my prayer, as well as that of many others i am sure, that people will come to know the real meaning behind why we commemorate easter.. no, it's not cos we get a long weekend and lots of chocs and easter bunnies! We're celebrating something much greater and more important then that.. we're celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.. He willingly died on the cross for our sins. yes, for yours and mine, even before we were born He died for us! and then on the 3rd day, He rose again. It would have been amazing enough in itself that someone could love us so much that He was willing to die for us; but when He rose again on the 3rd day, made it a miracle! and that is why we live today! cos of His love and mercy for us, we have eternal life.. and for that i thank Him!!!

on another note, friday marked the start of my holidays.. i'm on 2 week's break.. and i have no idea what to do! haha.. i've written out a list of stuff i need to do, and i'm looking forward to crossing stuff off asap.. i've sorta gotten started, and i plan to complete most of my assignments that are due all the way up until june.. that will mean that i will have less assignments to do once school re-opens.. i think i should get a job! i have so much time on my hands that it's starting to fustrate me.. i hate wasting time, although i sit around and do absolutely nothing most of the time anyway! haha.. i miss my friends who've gone away! Noelle, Xin Hui, Mao, Jon, Chris and Ern Chee.. faster come back leh guys!! Chris, come back to Aussie land la!! marry shell and bring here back here.. then i can see you more often!!!

it's the first time i've dreaded a holiday.. back in s'pore i used to have fun hanging out with my girlfriends.. we used to have sleepovers and shopping trips.. the sleepovers have stopped since we've grown up though. :( abbie, i miss staying at your place! we used to have a blast! and we caused so much havoc.. we were little monsters!! haha..

i spent all my holidays with Leo last year, but this year's different.. i know you want me to be there, but i'm sorry, i can't.. you'll have fun anyway.. you've got so many parties to attend.. :) and you've got spider and grass hopper! ;)

yup, so i'm probably spend my holidays doing assignments, catching up on my revision, doing even more housework, and working out in the gym! haha.. well that's the plan at least..

i read abbie's blog and this is what she wrote:

[FridayApril 6th, 2007]
I read Emma's blog and this almost made me cry:
"oh! and my darling abbie told me she almost got knocked down by a lorry a few days ago.. thank you God for watching over her and keeping her safe.. i wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to her.. well, for starters i would get on the next flight back to s'pore.. i love abbie so so so much! she's like a sister to me! she's my best friend and has been since we met in primary 1.. i was taller than her then, but now she's taller than me! by 1cm!! but she weighs over 10kg less than me! i know you eat a lot hun, but maybe you should try to eat even more! haha.. thanks for always being there for me girl.. love you truck loads gorgeous!! so glad you are safe and sound.. don't jay-walk anymore!!!"

I love you Emma! I miss you so much ): "

haha.. feels weird copying from her blog what she copied from mine! lol.. but i miss you and love you even more beef!!! come visit me soon ok?

hmm.. so what else has been going on? oh ya! i went out with some friends on thursday.. we went to karaoke.. it was fun although i didn't sing.. not into the mic at least! but it was fun! was nice meeting the girls.. they're really nice and fun! and i met Ze-Ho-Bo.. that's Sarah's new stuffed toy! oh!!! and i got to have AB's for dinner again! thanks Jon!! we had the one from the blue and white shop last time, so we decided to try it from the red and white shop this time instead.. the blue and white shop one wins hands down.. it's soooo much better.. so if any of you guys are in north adelaide for ABs, go to the blue and white shop.. it's like a dollar or two more expensive, but it's sooo much better and totally worth the money!

went shopping yesterday and got some really good buys.. i think there's gonna be an after easter sale or something.. so that'll be good! haha.. will probably be going down to harbour town with Xiao Wei and the girls this week.. i wonder if they know Xin Hui, cos they're both from VJC.. hmm.. shall ask them..

Barlow girls are really good.. their songs are not only meaningful, but talk about things we go through in everyday life.. go check them out or something yea? here's one of the songs that i feel a lot of people can identify with.. so often we allow the opinions of others to dictate the way we think and feel about ourselves.. and sometimes we just think and feel so negatively about ourselves cos we don't like who we see in the mirror.. but you know, even when we can't find it within us to love ourselves, God loves us - just the way we are! with our uncombed hair and less then perfect complexion! Cos He created us and meant for us to be that way, and He would have us any different! So instead of looking in the mirror and criticising everything we see that we dont like, why not we try and look at ourselves through God's eyes, maybe we'll see things differently! i know what it feels like to dread looking into the mirror; to want to look into the mirror and see something other than what we see, but i thank God for my mum, Leo and my friends (Abbie, Manda, Sterls, my Jie, Shell, Alicia, Chris and Derek and others.. ). Thank you guys for loving me when i found it hard to love my pimpled face self! haha.. thank you especially to Leo.. when other guys may have found the idea of going out with someone who had pimples all over her face unthinkable, you not only loved me, but you were still proud of me and showed me off to your friends.. you loved me and accepted me when i had no make-up on to cover the spots - not that the make-up really helped! so thank you for that! :)

anyway.. enough mushy stuff! haha.. here's the lyrics to Mirror, by Barlow Girl.. have a great week people!

Mirror LyricsArtist(Band):Barlow Girl

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry you won't define me
Sorry you don't own me

(chorus)
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, No, no, no I won't try

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me

(Chorus)
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, Nooo I won't try

You don't define me,
You don't define me,
You don't define me,
You don't define maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, Nooo I won't try

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, Yeah
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, Nooo I won't try
