Philly, Philly!

Haven't been blogging for a couple of weeks, have I? Time to revive this blog then! Well, mission trip to Manilla was, priceless. Did not have a chance to blog about it due to a mountain of homeworks and examination week right after i got back. Stress gila.

Promise to blog about my experience and encounter with God in Manilla with loads of awesome pictures real soon! Cannot believe that I manage to survive a week in this place right? I just did! Here I am alive and well XD. No, I didn't die, Bryan.

Did I mention shopping in Philly was fabulous? To the funky, friendly and warm people who went for the trip and the youth in Philly, miss you much. Oh, anyone misses me back here? Anyone? XD.

This is Mad.

Mom: *comes out from bathroom after 5minutes* (seriously.)

Me: Oy, why so fast?

Mom: When you're in Philly you don't bathe so long okay? Must think of other people.

Me: But, but so fast you! Yer, never bathe properly! You go smell your armpit and see.Smell. Can pass out anytime!

Mom: Then you? Bathe so long also no use! Smell your armpit can get into coma.

Now, this bomb is worse than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why? Cuz it's my mom.

Gosh, why that topic in the first place. Haha.

3AM.

Mission trip in 8 hours time! Well, i'm departing home by 3am, so imagine what time i've got to wake up. SO EARLY! Slept at 3 in the morning before, but never in my life i have to wake up at 3am. How?

Anyways, will be off to mission trip for the first time, leaving my friends and family for a week for the first time. *Exhales* God Bless Me!

Thing is, the one whose going to miss me the most is, haha. You wouldn't believe this. My bro. Seriously, he's gonna miss argueing with me and having nonsensical competetions while i'm gone. Plus, Evelyn doesn't bother and just keeps quiet when he tries to cari pasal. Good for you, lil brotha! *jumps for joy*

Well, see you guys in a week and will be back with lots of experience, stories, blessings, and sunburn? Oh, and by the way did i tell you packing is uber crazy? Leceh.

Beauty Sleep

Gosh. I don't care really, what it takes. I wanna blog about sleeps because i haven't got any sufficient ones. For a month that is! Reasons why i didn't get enough sleep?

#1 Silly, lousy, long-winded homeworks which apparently never ends. So even if you stay up late a few days you'll end up having another pile of works the very next day. Yawn. I rather sleep and continue piling it up? Haha. I want to, really.

#2 My sister just bought a new pillow all the way from the Gardens, so to match hers i have to buy one for myself too. The pillow was superbly high, hard and not fluffy that hurts my neck. End up having neck-aches. Stick with your old pillows, the best way.

#3 You know research says that 8hours of deep sleep is advisable for everyone? How can you have deep sleeps when you have multiple dreams the whole time? Sigh, REMs.

#4 School starts at seven and i have to wake up at 5.30! Distance, distance. Sometimes i even doze off in dad's car and one day a friend from church went, "Eh, you know my bus always passby your car on the way to school, and every morning i saw you dozing off like some drunken person. So funny!" Ish, embarassingnyer.

Well, i thank God i got 10 hours to sleep today, at last. Phew. Leaving for Manilla in 2 days! Guess what, sleeping issues again. I have to wake up at 2 in the morning! Unbelievable.
Gonna miss my school friends for a week. See you guys=D

Random: Jessica has the lamest jokes ever! Apparently, we still laugh at her lame jokes. Why ah?

One Day At A Time

Solutions to problems is not from fixing the complexity of a problem but is looking up to the simplicity of God's answer.

Let's just take one day at a time, better?

That message apparently made my day today. Thanks=)

Complicated.

Things seem to be getting more complicated by now.

Like it or not, we still have to face this.

I thank God for great caring friends who are there to keep me back on track and i hope you'll spare me some time to make things right.

I gotta trust, i know.

-out-

Light of Difference, We Are.

I can tell you that MGS Christian Union is definitely growing rapidly!

*jumps for joy*

Well, today was our launching of CU and guess what, 65 members turned up and it's awesome to see how God works miraculously in our life. (I counted like four times just to make sure I didn't recount the same person okay). Continue to help us pray that CU will grow stronger and trust me, it's gonna be happening this year! Check out our CU blogspot to see how HUGE our CU is, people.

For I know the plans I have for you,

plans to prosper you and not to harm you;

plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

Replay.

You know sometimes when you witness something really unpleasant and that scene starts to replay in your head over and over again?
Gosh, i just can't stand people throwing up in public in front of my eye and the situation just replays in my friggin head a gazillion times. (Yoke Pei, you saw it, no?) Thank goodness I still get to enjoy my decent lunch with Pei. Otherwise, I'll hyperventilate.
Sorry, cannot tahan.

Challenged

I'm challenged by the pressure that poured on me, and it's still pouring in.

Who says i'm not up for it?

Thanks. for. caring.

Philippians4:7 says;

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,

will guard our hearts and minds.

Back to Government Prison, that is.

This would be my last, first day of school.

Wheeee! XD

Wait, i'm sensing pressure already. Yikes.

Satisfaction.

Not satisfied with your life?

Well, start making a change.

Then Again..

Nik has no sense of taste.
Three elongated cactuses. What does it brings about?
So much for a new year's gift eh?

HAHAHA! This is the funniest gift i ever received for new year. Oh well, hopefully it manage to survive for a year. xD

Thanks Nik. XD

A New Road Ahead.

But i'm not finished with 2008!

Anyways,

HAPPY friggin NEW YEAR!

Here's down to memory lane last year. I had the best experience ever, be it friends, family and all my loved ones. Thanks for a fun and exciting journey.

This year, I..

Met great loving friends.. (more to come)

Met a gigantic fella.. Sit also look so huge. How like that?

Received a whole loads of prezzies on Christmas..
(not to mention quite weird also most of the gift i got. Come on, a shampoo for christmas?)

A gift from my sis, FOR THE FIRST TIME! A card as a bonus.

I've taught her well. So proud. xD

Received a bracelet from my HTHC partner! Love you so much..

Received the most weird/insulting give ever! Lol. A double eyelid tape.

I know la, i got no double eyelid. Don't need to rub it on my face so directly, no? Haha.

A beanie from Wee Yen. Sorry it's suffocating there. =/

Received something nice and simple from Nik..

I didn't know he has taste. Hmm..

Received loads of cards and notes..

Shopped like nobody's business (cuz got sales xD)
and tried out some freaky guy-like tops..


Went to a place where you will learn how to appreciate what you have..

Babysitted an uber cute lil cousin. She does sopranos!

And discovered a place to serve Him as a team..

God gives us the power to be, thankful! I'm truly am.

This is Crucial.

What do you get when you put Shannon and I together?

A friggin weird convo! Love you la Shannon! Haha.

Shannon: Hey Shirlynn. Do you know anyone by the name of Chris Cheong?

Me: Err, no. Why?

Shannon: Apparently Sarah told me that he's your boyfriend.

Me: What? I don't even know his name, never heard of him before, never seen his face!

Gosh, so random, no? I just think its funny in a way that people are connected in different ways that causes-well, in the end, a heck of a confusion.

Kablooie!

Gycamp aftershock, mind you.

Don't wanna miss saying that my group did a real awesome job this year! Every single one of them were working together full-heartedly in games, skit, and of course, Hydrowar! weeehoo!

Also, special thanks to Ogustian for giving me the courage to continue to lead my group after day one, he made sure everyone stay together without just depending on me and my assistant leader and have encouraged teamwork. I thank God for you, Ogustian! I also thank God for Zack Chin, he did a great job sharing in devotion and stuff like like that;Amanda Yip for the skit; Daniel Pang for that oh-so-great acting skills (you really should see him act), May, my advisor and Jonathan for being so spontaneous!

Here's Jonathan from my group. He's a chinese but has a canadian accent, and his accent- real heavy. I really thank God that He had touch Jon's heart because i can truly see a change in him after day One in gycamp. First day he was all shy, quiet and homesick. But after that, he was superb spontaneous and all hyped up! You can see the look on that hydrowar pic, rite. Uber cute. Okay, i really like that accent in him lah. =D

The brighter side of Matthew xD

HTHC partner! Glad she tag along=D She even did a video clip on how messy and disorganize my place in the dorm. Clothes were all over the place, blanket not fold, purse was hanging on the locker just like that, handphone was all over the bed, Pei and Yan Teng got fed up they decided they should show people that video clip. Gosh, so friggin funnay!

Sorry for posting this late, but yeah, this year's a blast!

Christmas pics coming up!
