Renew.

Some of my links aren't working anymore cuz they are outdated. I don't really have much time to blog these days, much less tinker with my templates so I just have to put up with it for awhile.

Attachment kept me busy but it was fun. Not going to say too much to protect the identity of the staffs and patients at my workplace.

My mind is cluttered with a lot of things to say just like there is a lot of rubbish in my computer I need to clear. You can see for yourself how disorganize this entry is.

My friend was telling me about how frustrating to make friends and only to know that they are not your type of people. "They could not understand you, they are insercure, they always think so big about themselves."

So I tell her, "I have made many friends and I have let go many too. For the same reasons as you."

Friends come and go. As I get on with my life, I realise that most of the friends I made are not permanent. In fact, some of the closest friends I have are the ones who hurt me the most. The fact when something like this happen, it is almost not possible to try to be "like in the old days" anymore. There is a lack of trust though there is forgiveness.

What are some of the things that my ex-friends used to do?

Backstab me, spread rumours about me, irritates me, think too big about themselves, treat me unfairly, and a couple of them downright treat me as non-existant by not bothering to sms or reply and blame me for things I never done.

Yup. Come to think about it, it is scary. But nonetheless, there are still friends who will care about me and friends whom I can truly trust.

"Why didn't you try to make friends with people who will not hurt you then?"

Because there is no where to avoid hurts. Even your best friends can hurt you.

"Why didn't you choose your friends wisely then?"

Because you never know who a person is really like until you get to know them as a friend.

"Why are you still making friends then?"

Are you CRAZY? Of course I am still making friends for the fact that all of us need friends. Good ones will support you, bad ones will betray you. But on one can ever make it on their own. That is the irony of life.

To fail doesn't means you are a failure. To lose a battle doesn't means you lose the war.

The only people who don't need anyone anymore are six feet underground.

So to say, there is nothing wrong, to be friends with someone today, and on longer friends tomorrow. It is just part and parcel of life. The fact there we are all alive and moving on with life. That we keep making friends believing that there is someone better out there.

For God is my friend forever and ever, and He never lets me down.

Many things are indeed meaningless without God.

GOD IS GOOD. :)

BLOOD...

Went to donate blood at Assyafaah Mosque with my CG member, Alex, Desmond, Elton, Meihui, Peifang, Yiquan, Yixuan and a new friend, Meiling.

I wonder if it is because I didn't sleep much the day before or was it because of the blood donation, I felt really tired after donating blood yesterday. Hahaha. Apparently I am not the only one, so is Alex, Yiquan and Desmond who also donated blood. We were struggling to keep ourselves awake during service. Hahaha.

Saw Cinthia and Weisheng at the blood donation drive too. Haven't seen her for a long long time but she hasn't changed much. Hahaha.

Also saw Sister Irene and a few Copers helping out there. It was quite fun seeing familiar faces that I don't get to see other than during some special events.

Here is a video I took and edited during the blood donation. Hahaha. Look out for the guy lying down. As if like having a last rite. :p

MoST! Fun Day!

Today is most FUN!!! Okok. MoST stands for Museum of Shanghai Toys! Hahaha.

Today happen to be the only day I will be free for the next 3 weeks as my attachment will be starting next Monday. Went out with Alvin, Chloe and Xueting to Little India. We shop around at Mustafa a little.

Here's a few photos we took over at the Children's section.

Chloe having a little fun...


Chloe pigging around.


Pirate Chloe! Yup. No doubt she is the most playful among us.


Pirate Snow! Hahaha.


After that, we went to Bersar (dunno how to spell) food centre and had dinner. We had Turtle Soup, Stew Frog and the only thing that seems normal was the Roast Meat. It was very delicious! Thou Xueting almost freak out when we made her ate turtle meat. Hahaha.


We were on our way to the MRT when we chance upon this Museum of Shanghai Toys. Suppose to go home but we ended up spending more than an hour there! Hahaha. We took a lot of photos, had lots of laugh and was really amaze that we found such an interesting place! The toys were all from olden days China; some from as early as the Late Ming Dynasty! Wow! Hahaha.

Here's a video we took at the museum. (Pause the video and allow it to download fully for smooth viewing.)




Here's some of the photos.

An old signboard of an old toy shop in Shanghai.


Alvin. Nope, he wasn't sitting on it.


Chloe, with sword in hand!


Xueting.


Xueting. With one big doll.


That's me, trying to look 'dead' here to pose with that doll-in-coffin. Hahaha.


Xueting and Chloe, trying to pose like Mickey Mouse. Apparently... Hahaha.


Me and Alvin, trying to pose like revolutionay militant. Hahaha.


Our photo together with our admission tickets.


We are together again...


Yup. Really enjoyed ourselves. Hahaha.


Before we left, the shop owner gave each of us a BIG gift! Each of us received a tin toy that cost more than $60!!! Wow! I guess we really made a lot of noise there and enjoyed ourselves so much that the owner really loved us. Hahaha. He even autographed on the toys for us. :)

Gotta get Alvin to bring us to other places to eat. He knows a lot of "Makan" places. Hahaha.

Last Paper Tomorrow.

Yesterday, I attended prayer meeting at Jurong West for the first time ever since church moved to Expo. It was fantastic! The presence and the power of God filled the auditorium and many people were ministered at the end of the meeting. In fact, I could feel the anointing so strongly the I was really 'drunk' halfway through the meeting. I wasn't really much sober after the meeting ended. Hahaha.

Nothing special today. Mugging for my Bioscience paper now. Tomorrow will be the last paper. Yeah!!!

Cooked dinner in the afternoon. Decided to prepare Fried Noodle, the way my maternal grandmother will cook. This dish is cooked with egg noodle, it is made to taste a little blend yet not too blend, with a little saltiness to enhance the frangrace and sweetness of the egg noodle. It is dry so that it can tingle your taste bud, stimulating the production of saliva to make the noodle taste sweet. Hahaha. I like to call it Cantonese Noodle because my maternal grandmother is Cantonese.

Anyway, after tasting my noodle, I feel it is pretty satisfactory, at least 90% like my grandmother's noodle. Hahaha. My mum really enjoyed it, Cantonese Noodle is her favourite. Hahaha.

Ok. Wish me all the best for my exams.

GOD IS GOOD. :)

One Down and Two more to go!

Completed one of the three papers for my semestral exams on Friday. Yeah! Was in quite a good mood so I went to pick up my brother at the child care centre and brought him to McDonald's for dinner after exams.

Quite a good experience. Perhaps, I will put aside more time to accompany my two grandparents and my brother now. Yup.

Went for service today but... I dressed up a little different today. Hahaha. I wore the new, faded-dark jeans with the chain and the long-sleeve shirt with vertical silver stripes. OK, look pretty hip, punk, City-Harvest. That is the comments I got from the people. Apparently, my CG tend to dress this way too. Many people commented that my CG really know how to dress up. Hahaha.

OK... a revelation I wanna share but will leave it for a later date when my brain is in a better working condition.

Oh ya, all the best to XUETING who will be taking her English proficiency test on 10th April for her NIE entry.

GOD IS GOOD. :)
