i fixed some of my heels at the cobblers! yay!

hmm it's been sometime since i last blogged.. things have just been really busy these past few months.. i cant believe that i'm actually coming to the end of my third semester! time really flies. despite that i feel like i've experienced so much!

i've experienced the pains and joys of losing and winning volleyball matches.. and funnily enough though the disappointment of lost games was a very bitter pill to swallow, i found myself growing and learning more than i would have if we'd won all our games =) and i'm so happy that God blessed us with enough wins to secure 3rd place =D (we were 6th and last place last year) we were really the underdogs in this competition! and now i'm so pumped up to improve my skills and push our standing to 1st place next year!

i've earned a recurrent sprain in my right hand in the process though! hahahhaha

i thank God for being there for me at every class test. even more amazing is that He ensured i did not fail any one of my tests =D and He even gave me an A for one of my tests! this really just gives me more and more confidence in my ability in Christ. when i started off at IMU, i was getting B-s and Cs and i actually failed one of my final papers! now i'm getting B+s and occasional As. looking back, i'm able to see how God is just building me up from a the depressed state i was in, to becoming a stronger woman. and i plan on excelling in this course whether or not this is my forte or the fact that this isnt what i originally wanted to study. i just really want to enjoy my studies and achieve excellence in the process =)

ok i should really get back to my assignments. i just thought i'd drop an update of how i've been doing lately =)

how come Disney didnt take on Rapunzel?

 hahhaha i've always wondered about that.. the only thing i remember is 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel.. Let down your hair.."

anyways i was thinking.. i really like my hair curled.. 
so curly?? or straight??
but mummy says wait till sem 3 is over.. that's like in 4 months -.-
guess i'll just have to use that time to grow out my hair longer


oh gosh, patho test is tomorrow and i'm blogging.. sigh cant seem to concentrate today.. ok back to the grind..

trying not to let myself wallow in self-pity

i just realise something.. it's so hard to get out of disappointment and hurt, but it's much easier to switch from a happy day/occasion into gloomy/sour day.. i dont want that to be true for me..

sigh, i feel like i may be trying too hard to keep my friends.. i have this fear that i lose my friends or i lose that closeness with them because of who i am.. or that i just dont have an attractive or rather good enough character or personality for them to see me as someone they would want to be close with.. i dont want keep thinking that i cant do anything about.. if it's character then i want to build it.. i'm not gonna let this get me down..

gonna keep smiling =)

i've got 'Forever reign' stuck in my head..

hmm so it's been really long since i updated.. things were really busy lately.. so what have i been up to?
1. i worked in IMU for about a week
2. started my 3rd semester (which is kinda a killer sem)
3. danced and 'catwalked' for orientation
4. plan an illustration with jas for Jcworks for one sunday
5. help with prep for chris and angel's wedding =D
6. spent time with some very special people =) (am so glad you guys are back!)

yeah so anyways this semester is really tough.. have been trying to plan and strategise so i wont end up failing any papers and i am determine to either maintain my CGPA or increase it! yes so i am going to excel in this semester despite it being difficult! and i know i have Jesus so that's my comfort =D

sigh, part of me wants to quickly finish this course, because i know what's waiting for me when i finish my studies.. and yet i want to enjoy this moment in my life being with my friends in uni and enjoying the life of a student and being young and free from certain responsibilities yet.. i count the days to when i'm done but i feel so reluctant to let this go yet.. i wonder too whether i could be a good dietitian/nutritionist.. i would want to be the best at what i do so i dont wanna disappoint myself at all..

pics from the finale night in which i catwalked.. it was themed masquerade

two days before the finale. this was variety night. we danced that night =)

our N&D lab =) where we cook! =D

starting anew to start anew (title contributed by jian shen)

is it alright to be irritated at what one might deem as something small? sigh, because i really am irritated right now.. i told myself, Just ignore it.. guess it's funny when it's not you huh? and you dont exactly have the right to tell that person off because sometimes, lets admit it, we do some things for humour at the expense of others.. i'll let this experience remind me to be more mindful of others the next time i think of doing something funny at the someone else's expense..

on another note, i realise i shouldnt say 'crap' anymore so i'm not going to.. if you ever hear that word escape my lips, please pinch me =)


so what have i been up to now that exams are over? well, i've been back at uni practicing for a dance we're gonna perform for orientation.. it's been the most tiring days these past few days.. and man, do my muscles ache! oooh! but it was so gratifying =D we manage to finish getting the choreography all on our own within two days and today, we were able to sync all the girls so that was pretty awesome =) i think we're getting there =) i have faith in my groupmates and we make a good group.. hahahha you should hear the amount of laughter that comes from the dance room when we get together =) OH OH!!! and i must tell you.. i managed to do a handstand!! hahahha well for like a second BUT STILL!!! it was the awesomest thing ever!!! you're probably wondering why i need to do a handstand.. so, becuase i'm too lazy to post up the vid of the dance we're doing, i'll give you this link =)

OH OH OH!!! and i recently joined cheerleading (dont judge me!) and i manage to 'fly'!!! hahahah in other  words i became the flyer =D hahahha it was the most nerve-wrecking, heart-stopping, on-top-of-the-world feeling ever! period. hahahahah and jess and mun teng managed to 'fly' too!! it's so great to be able to share such an experience with them =) aaahh..

this is the 'elavator'. we did this one =)

a new skin!

i finally decided on a new look =)

tadaa!!!

anyways, just thought i'd post up some craftsy stuff i made not too long ago =)

some were made waay back, like a few months ago.. some made few weeks ago =)

different

was just browsing through channels on the telly when i came across Jamie Cullum's version of Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music.

it's definitely different from the usual electronic beats.

have yet to decide whether i like it better than the original one or not since i'm not really a big fan of Jamie Cullum's voice. but neither do i find Rihanna's voice a pleasure to my ears.

what do you think?

=D
