While I was uploading the photos from my camera, I saw 12 extra pics from my camera!! The WIERD-NESS about this is that I don't even know who are those people in these pics, neither do I remember taking photos of these people and the places in them. When I checked the properties of these files, I found out that they were taken in 2004. OH my Goodness!! Where did these pics came to my camera? Or did some error take place during my uploading of pics, since I was online?? I really wonder....

:: Musical Instrument, An Instrument of Distraction ::
Last 2 weeks? I've been relying on the guitar during worship. However, lately I feel that this musical instrument is becoming an instrument of distraction throughout the whole course of worship. I then decided to plug in my earplugs and do acappella, which was awesome! No disturbance, no what-so-ever.
Alright. I'm busy looking for jobs now. Someone said I should have applied before my exams, because the Accounts and Banking industries are very HOT ones. Most positions have been taken up, especially those at the better companies. However, whatever the situation might seem, it doesn't mean God can't do anything now! He will still provide for His children. He is in control, no matter how this silly search seems like. I'm trusting and praying for it.
OK, lets look into an interesting topic that should be mentioned to whom you'd understand.
This is for me to know and for you to die to find out. Sounds familiar? It's Adrain Pang's lines. No plagarism.
Now take alook at this and try to figure out what this means. However, I'm afraid to let you know that there are no prizes for the guesses. It's OTOH.

:: What Happens On Sundays? ::
Our Warming-Up session before we get on stage for EQ. Yes, it's early in the morning at 7.30am, and we are all still a little sleepy (Hwee is especially sleepy). But Sandie is fully away (centre), who still smiles at the camera, while HweeSan who is camera-"shy" just looked down.
HweeSan-jie has to contact all those singers who were either late or couldn't make it, but didn't inform her. See she's holding her hp, with her stressed-out look.
Then here we go onto the stage. The singers stand on these carpeted-steps. Nice? Notice the holds in between the 2sections, it's where singers' foot were trapped before.
Here's the drum set, with Drum Shield now! (with KaiPing playing the drums..haha!) It's this drumset that I got my ear-plugs for. Since we have drummers who snare really hard, so ear-plugs are a necessity for Sundays to protect our ears. However, it helps our pitching as well. hehe..
This is Candice and ME. She went over to Celebration-Hosting after singing for the 1st service. Someone said she sounds like Jasmine, and I really agree to that.
Here's us, singers, doing nonsense during the break before 2nd service. That was Ginny with that "I-can-reach-the-mountain" pose. KT and Kala at the back.
Here's me with the 2 of them. haha..
This are the guys, Samuel and Hwee.

:: I am Amazed ::
God's song for me this morning was "I am amazed, at Your love. I am amazed at Your mercy". So I went into that direction during worship. I am actually amazed how God has provided me constant privacy these days as I did my reading of the Word and worshipping. Actually, there was plenty of opportunities in the past that I didn't take notice or didn't take it up. Progressive 15mins to 30mins. I guess I didn't bother about the time after all. Just wanted to spent quality time with the Lord. I am amazed how He speaks and how solo-worshipping is so ministering. I didn't start that without any musical instrument, but I used my guitar. Then I realised there are times where I wanted silence from that guitar and engage into worship. I went from strumming to plucking then to silence. Not pure silence yet. I want pure silence, just me and You.
Tomorrow's my last paper!! I'm gonna go down to Orchard all by myself after that paper in the evening. Cuz everybody else isn't available. I wanted the experience anyway; to walk down the aisle of Orchard in the moonlight and gaze the beauty from nature to lights to people. Resting in the Lord, speaking to Him. Amazing!! I'll do that tomorrow.
Guess what I did to prepare for this paper? Yes, I'm a copy-cat. I followed sb's.

PEOPLE NEED THE LORD
Watch this video. It made me teared. To see how many people of another side of the world lived in the very conditions. It made my heart break. I hope and want to reach out to these people when I do missions after my uni, or when God gives me the opportunity.
Hope this video will touch your hearts.
Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eye;
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where.
On they go through private pain,
Living fear to fear;
Laughter hides the silent cries
Only Jesus hears.
People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
At the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door.
People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
When will we realize
People need the Lord.
We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong is right;
What could be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who's lost?
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear;
They must hear the Words of Life
Only we can share.
People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
At the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door.
People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
When will we realize
That we must give our lives,
For people need the Lord.
People need the Lord.

:: New Song ::
Perhaps some of you would not have heard Power Of Your Love in this version, but it's cool that you can even choregraph a dance to it. haha!! I'm having my LAST PAPER this Thursday. It's my finance paper.
It's getting ironically-easier? I somehow don't understand, because I started of knowing nuts about Finance. However, I always end up doing this: When I was in secondary school, I heard people giving remarks that Econs is difficult. So I decided to take Econs when I was in JC. I got As and Bs in the first year, then went to Ds in the final year. How absurb? *Next scenario* When I was in JC, I heard some uni students commenting that Finance was tough. Hence, I doing Finance now in uni!! Haha..am I purposely trying to challenge myself??
Anyway, my Principles of Banking & Finance started of like GREEK to me. That's why I spent a whole lot of time on it during the sem. I did things I never thought I'd do so for a unit. I gathered textbooks photocopied notes, going through investopedia, surfing the MAS webby and many other stocks and finance related webby to gather more info. All info gathered were equally GREEKY. However, it seems easier these days. Am I getting sluggish or am I improving? I hope it's the latter.
God will grant me wisdom. He has also brought several ppl whom I can speak to. haha.. I never knew I'd discuss these stuff with Aileen, Sandie, Pris, Samuel and Charlotte. Wahhaha.. I also realised the stuff I'm doing is equally relevant to the reality-reports. All the time you'd think what I do in school will not be applicable to work, but it's a whole different now. I feel very motivated to pursue further.
Each time I speak to people, I would feel a new energy within me that will pull me further into the subject. haha!! I usually do better for the topics I speak to people about. It applies for all subjects. It has always been like this since I was in secondary school. Each time I'd come home telling my mum, "Mummy, do you know..............?" haha!! That started when I took chem and biochem in sec.
alrightey, Wed's prac. Paul said he'd release me earlier. So nice..becoz I've got a paper the next day. yay!! People Need The Lord, perhaps for next Communion. Oldies..muz be from P.Dom.

:: What did I do this whole time of exams? ::
When I was reading Louise's blog, who said she spent 50pounds on stationary. Haha..I think I did that too. Looking at the amount of highlighters of different brands, coloured pens with 3 of the same *color*, the amount of waterproof dark blue and black pens, from inked to ball-point, & from various brands, and a pile of fullscrap papers just for writing notes and doing past papers. How EXPENSIVE my exam already is, with such additional Ridiculous stuff above these. The Nonsense did not stop just there. The whole craze of buying titbits, snacks, daily products, and energy-booster drinks added alot more to just stationaries.
Anyway, today I did the challenge I mentioned yesterday. 30minutes of reading then worshipping this morning. It started quite still, no movements, till I yearn more and more for Him to come, and found Him. I want to do that all the days. However I realised how inconvenience can interrupt my work. I would try to work on the environment to bring convenience and appropriateness.
Recently I'm looking for Cheddar Cheese. I remember Singapore Art Cafe serves Nachos with melted cheese. I want them!! Where can I find them??? Anybody please tell me. NTUC and Liberty both I can't find there. Then I found this on the net, and wonder is this the right one the cafe used?? I wonder if it's even in S'pore.

:: I Hope This will be Posted ::
Please ignore those blank blog entries previously. THose were vanished into thin air due to javascript error.
Anyway, I've been wanting to blog about this new season of alignment and pursuit of God's first love, annointing, dependence on Him, etc. I tried doing things differently lately, and even last week, after pastor's message. He said something today, which I would want to challenge myself to. I want to set a time everyday, in a room, with only my Bible and no other musical instrument except myself, and to let God speak in His manner.
As I was sharing this at the combined cell today, Paul mentioned something which I feel that it's very appropriate- Take baby-steps first to move towards a goal. Perhaps increase my time spent from 15mins to 20mins, and increase bit by bit. He gave this scenario which will sound very funny, but it's very realistic. He said that it's not really possible to say I want to eat 10drumsticks of chicken now, when you haven't eaten that amount before. So take bit by bit, perhaps start with one chicken wing.
Make the goals realistic to be motivational; sounds like Budgeting, haha. I did the budgeting question for today's accounting paper. I like it! haha.
Furthermore, I also would want to work on the area of total dependence. Not 95% but full percentage. Work on work on. Also to refrain from acts that are displeasing to God. I would want to come to a point that I need not worry that I would ever fall into doing something God hates me to do it. However, there maybe a different way to rephrase this. Next most important issue, is about pride. Who says I am better than who-who, they-they, she-she, or he-he? So what if I entered CMs before he-he, they-they did? So what I am an older Christian? Did God ever used such factors to create a formulae to compare betterness? NO-NO. So...work on work on.
I do admit that I'm quite tired to handle certain issues. However, someone said this before "Friends never get tired of helping another friend". I guess I need alot of moulding in order it's my turn to say that. Takes alot of growth and maturity.
On my last day of exam, I intend to bring down my camera and snap pictures of the BIG sheet of paper to tell us our desk no, the GIGANTIC crowd of people crossing the zebra crossing after the exams, the GIGANTIC hall, the commander-looking Chief Examiner, the LONGGGGG queues at the toilets, the PACKEDDDD mrt trains down to Tanah Merah, etc. haha!! Would be fun!
Before today's paper begin, as usual I sat at the airport-looking windows by the flowers and grass, in the air-con foyer. I saw many navy-officers from Pakistan walking to and fro from exhibitions. Then followed by many aunties carrying big sales bags from METRO. Yes, METRO sales is on at Expo, at such a time as this! So exam-non-conducive. I just rested my legs and eyes, before I started hearing the usual groans and moans and appathetic-discussions before the paper. The paper was quite tough, as cute Mr.Danny has said. However, still overall manageable. A pass is definite, a B is by God's grace, an A will be a Hallejulah. haha..
I'm thankful that the Lord gives me a new song every morning when I wake up. I'm thankful that I see a new packet of camomile tea when I didn't complain when it was finished. I'm thankful for the refills of Brand Essence Chicken when I haven't even said I took the last bottle and I needed one more for my last paper. I'm thankful that there's somebody who will steal time to fetch me from Expo after my papers, because I stay in Jurong West. I'm thankful for the kind askings after my papers on how was it. I'm thankful for the titbits and the goodies along the way. I'm a princess during exams. haha!! Also after exams, =)

Oh man..why is my Blogger.com still in this manner. It's transcated all over. I've now all those fonts and stuff I can't use any longer. Argh.
ANyway, I decided to head to the library to have a day camp there. Bcoz the weather is unbearable. Scientists have also proven that the brain functions better at a lower temperature. I headed there 5mins before it was opened (it opens at 10am). Guess what? Many students, from the private institutions to the secondary schools were standing outside the different leves, already waiting for the sliding down to be pulled up. Then the moment came. When we all heard that the auto-door was opened, everyone crowded to the entrance. When it was already half-opened, the front few people bend forward to get in. All were moving as quickly as their legs could, and within 10seconds, all tables were occupied. haha!
I being the 800m walk champion, lived up to my name. I got a table to myself too, within that 10seconds.
Somewhat 20mins later, this lady came over and asked if she could share the table with me. It was totally impossible to find any other tables now. I happily let her share. I then realised she was doing her ACCA. haha! I'm also doing sth similar. I'm doing my degree in Accounting and Finance, but I need not do ACCA. I've just to complete the required modules to meet CPA and my degree's units, and then signed up for CPA. After 3years of working in the accounting industry, I'll be a certified Accountant. ACCA isn't really easy: 7modules a year, and each to be repeated if you don't pass.
In the afternoon, my sis came to join me. haha! We all had to escape from the heat of Global Warming. Terrible, bcoz some....didn't sign some contract.
After some 8 hours of studying in the cold oozy library. We headed for Popular at Jurong Point. Fill up our stationary bucket to the brim again, before we went home.
I'm so thankful that Charlotte called me up in the middle of my studies just to pray for me and see how I was doing. And she'll be praying for me during those hours of my 1st Econs paper tomorrow. It's gonna be 3hrs, 10am to 1pm. It's really important to have prayer coverage during the doing of your papers. I really appreciate all effort of those who are gonna be praying! COffee and Tea on all of you after all my papers.

What's wrong with MY BLOG??
Everything here looks transcated. Wonder if what I typed will appear properly.
Anyway, I've an amazing discovery today. I choregraphed my studies into a dance, haha. It seems like from the formula to the theories, it all fit into the dance. I can remember them so much clearer then merely sitting down to memorize them. Perhaps it's also because I've already grasped the concept earlier, so I'm just happily putting everything together. Actually I'm feeling really relaxed today, it isn't so terrible afterall.
Also another new discovery, taught by my somebody: do a recording of ur notes onto ur MP3, and listen to it on the bus, and also to sleep. haha!! Surely it'll get it right into ur head!

Bushed...
Tired after studying into the wee-hours everyday, and struggle to wake up at 10am the next mornings. Have I done enough? haha. I feel I've grasped most of the topics already. However, why do I still not see As, and I'm just getting Bs for those modules I worked on most. Ridiculous.
I got a job offer today. From Joy and ZiYu. It's a 3-day music day camp and it's $8 per hour. I'll be an assistant there to the pri sch kids, do dancing and music-ing. haha!! I feel blessed.
After that week, I'll get a full-time temp job. By the way, I've found out from dear Sandie about those silly CPAs and ACCAs. Well, seems like I'm heading the right way towards CPA. However, I've got to find out which modules will enable me there. Way to CPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!
alright, getting back to books.

ROCH..Sounds Like ROCE
ROCH means Return Of the Condor Heroes, while ROCE means Return Of Capital Employed. Haha.. When I was searching for songs of "long-long-ago", from Fann and I found this..ROCH. ahaha!! Fann's songs for the various legendary serials were really great. Songs these days are getting alittle "dead". I'm listening from ROCH to Xiao Ao Jiang Hu to Wo Lai Ye. haha.. Imeem.com is really a great site to serve my sudden-urge for the "oldies".
Those songs brought me through my last year of Primary 6. I could remember so vividly how I idolised Fann in the past. I will pester my mum to bring me to Suntec again and again, cuz I heard she'll be there for promotion of her series (and it news from last week). *dished. I would also cut out all photos I could find in the papers, magazines, etc. The photos sorta came to life then. How silly?? When I finally got to speak to her over the phone through Yes93.3FM, it felt "nothing". She was as human as I am, but perhaps spoke more than I do then. (I'm more talkative now..haha!)
I can't imagine I did this in school today. (actually that's very me lar). My friends and I were frozen from the cold LT during our last revision class. When it was break time, to snack on the cakes provided, two of us started doing hip-hop outside the LT. OMG... To our horror, we saw spectators over the other block. We were just feeling cold dear... We didn't do much, but just a little moves of legs and hands. Well, that's enough to AA.
I'm thicked up here now. Must take time for the brain molecules to consolidate all I've input into its tissues. That's why I'm here. Do I even need to explain in the first place??

He Understands
He Understands
Walking down the aimless path
Many knew when we were through
The looks in their eyes
The thoughts in their minds
Somewhere we can't run
To long for what seems to be a Star
An eagle to bring us from this peak
Fly through the wind
Pass through the storm
Into the green of life
This life, a piece of paper
Written on, and trampled on
The life that I messed it up
Now they want it torn down
The fears, the guilt and my shame
I can't bear no more
And strengthless I run
There Jesus, He stopped me
He came down to reach me
He bent down to give me
And I went all speechless
How could He have done it
Isn't wrong in me
He didn't condemn me
What is this
It makes my heart break free
I cannot comprehend
Here's this He said
To be my friend
Come and find in Him
He understands
- a song I wrote to comprehend a similar situation of Mary Magdalene.
