COOKIES~
Went out with Jun and Liang yesterday. Liang went off this morning, so yesterday was like the last day out with him. Don't know when will I get the chance to meet him again. Perhaps in Dec at Indo. Hopefully he'll get a job here in S'pore. Hehehe. Anyway....Took neoprint with them but I've yet scanned it. I'm nt gonna publish it here anyway :D

Baked some cookies in the evening. So enjoyable :) The next time I bake it again, I'mma add my own additional ingredients inside. Hope it'd taste even tastier.

Stage 1: Mix the dough and place them in the black ungreased sheets.


Stage 2: Baked and let it cool.


Stage 3: Taken off the sheets and the result was...plate full of cookies :D

RUBBISH FEEDER
Woken up due to my dad's angry tone on the other end of the phone. I got scolded for something I didn't do. I'm full of flaws in my parents' eyes. He scolded me for not doing the things he asked me to do from a long time. Yeah right...He only sms-ed me yesterday and he claims that he had sms-ed me since last time.

Have been tolerating my parents' nonsense for so long now. That I can't bear it anymore. They're good, can't deny that. But they're not good parents. They're just good people. Even good people are full of craps sometimes. I can't blame them. But why do they always get unreasonable towards their own kids? Children are also human beings with feelings, with their own lives to lead, with own problems and burdens to carry on their shoulders. Why can't they try to make the kids love them naturally? When we act unfilial just a tiny bit, they make a big fuss and think a lot bout it (after which, some extra ingredients will be added to their gossips). But what they fail to think of is how their attitude is towards the children that make even the most patient kid out of the 5, running wild with teary eyes that are slowly filled with hatred.

Staying a lil longer in S'pore, doesn't mean that parents are not important anymore. Doesn't mean that I'm putting my friends above them. Doesn't mean that I'm crazy over guys. Get that right ok? These are the words I really wish I could scream unto my mom's ears. But sadly, I can't. Coz even when I make a slow and soft remark, she's gonna get even more furious at me. She's just so unreasonable!

Friends are important, as much as parents are to me. When you're living overseas, without family members around, friends become a part of family. Guess you guys don't know how it feels huh, mom, dad? Perhaps you should try. Then you'll know how I feel. You expect me to get favours from my friends when I'm in need of something. But tried to get me to abandon my friends when I'm invited to their important event. SHUT UP, I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT.

I feel like screaming now. I just feel like turning 180 degrees from the person I am now. To show them that I've changed. To them, to the bad. But to me, I'd say that it's for the better. I'm growing, each day. I've learned to be more mature. Why can't they accept that reality? Stop treating me like I'm 15 years old. I'm already a young adult. I can even get married tomorrow even without my parents being present at the ROM. So what's the big deal with me going out often with my friends, huh? Why should they get angry when I'm not even spending much money when I go out? It's not like I'm some rich pampered daughter who can easily swipe the card in some boutique. No...I'm already like one of the poor daughter who have to think lotsa times before purchasing even a bag. So, please....I don't think I deserve the scoldings.

I know I've my limits too. I don't do things when I know it's wrong. Why can't they just be grateful for the few things that us, the kids, restrain from doing? While many other kids have fall so deeply into those prohibited activities. Why are your eyes blinded by the good appearance of other people, without knowing their backs? Try living together with them for some time...Then you'll see that they're not as good as you claim them to be. You said that you're unlucky to have us as your kids. Then it's not really our luck to have you as our parent too.

But in spite of all these craps, I learn a lot of things. So I'm grateful. I would learn hard enough not to be the same mom as her when I've my own family. I've learned to grow stronger even when you scold me for no good reason. I know that I haven't done anything wrong, so I won't be defeated by your mean words that spread as quickly as SARs virus. But hey, your mean words is the natural killer. So, indirectly, you've murdered me.

Belle's 21st Celebration Day
Lemme start this entry by saying this..... I super like this Tim Tam biscuits! I bought it to try out of curiosity. Who wld've guessed it turned out to be super yummylicious!


Went to have a cell grp steamboat yesterday. Bt I haven't get any pics from anybody yet. So I shall publish them next time.

This afternoon was Annabelle's 21st b'day party! It was marvellous. The Vis-a-Vis French Restaurant was superb. It was a good choice, Belle :D We were served with plain water, fruit punch, bread with butter at 1st. Afterwhich came the starter, wholemeal bread covered with creamy mushrooms. We were given 3 choices for our main course, steak, fish, or spaghetti. I had fish and it was served with mashed potato n some boiled carrot n cucumber. Nice! I tried the steak chosen by JY and it was so tender. Everything is delicious. After the main course, Belle cut her b'day cake 1st. I 4gt wad cake was it...I know there's some pistachio inside. The cake was so spongy. Nice! Hehehe. Then there was still dessert served by the restaurant. Some kind of pancake topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and orange peel syrup. Lastly, tea or coffee for every guests :)

Everything was good! The food, the service, the ambiance.

The above sunflowers were 1 of JY's b'day gift for Belle. It was pretty and was bought at a good bargain :D

After the party ended, we headed to svc. Ps. Phil Pringle painted the last supper during the preaching. It was somehow funny to see him do his art work. I still can't figure out why these kind of cant-be-understood art pieces could cost bombs! I guess only ppl who appreciates art can understand and accept the expensive stuff for even the ugliest piece.

After svc, as usual we fellowshipped at Expo Hall 2. Took some pics tonight :) That's my narcism side kicking in.

Love her cheeky n vain pose :D

The photos below were taken while we were waiting for bus to go to my house.

Overly candid

THE COMING DEPARTURE
Called dad a few moments ago. Talked to him about my departure. He sounded like he's in high-spirit. So glad to hear him that way :D Anyways...I told 'em that I wanna go back on the 28th of Nov but he asked me to settle the biz with my friends faster and come back earlier. And stay at Indo longer than 24th Dec. I told 'em that the air tickets after 25th would be more expensive. Bt he didn't mind. He said that a lil bit more expensive is a'ight.

So surprising! I told him that the difference in price is quite a lot. Bt he said...Nvm..stay here longer. Wow~ Wad's gotten into them? Suddenly I feel like I'm so wanted there. Hahaha. Even my older bro asked me to stay longer. In a way... I oso wanna stay longer. I don't think a mth is gonna be enough for me to enjoy. But there are some things that made me don't wanna stay too long. There are things in S'pore which hold me back.

Gosh I dunno what am I supposed to do. I can't come back here earlier if my dad wishes me to stay there longer anyway. There goes my plan for X'mas. I thot I cld come to the x'mas svcs for all the 4 days. Now it's nt gonna happen *Sigh* I can't remember when was the last time I spend my X'mas here. Indo is so boring. X'mas is nothing for them. It's just known as another day where the churches will be filled with many of the church members whose cars would fill up even the road, causing traffic jams. Then my mom would grumble coz of the way they park their cars. The roads are not even decorated. In s'pore it's so lively. Orchard road is lighted up so brightly and beautifully. At Indo, it's as dull as any other day. Grahhhhhh! Can't stand it *Loud sigh*

Guess as parents get older, they wld love the kids to gather more often together. Hahaha.

PHOTOS
Took some photos with Yun and Wilbert when they came. Had fun! Bt they came at wrong timing. I was gonna prepare for my exams! Nonetheless, I still manage to juggle between accompanying them while struggling for my revision. Teeheehee~


Was rather disappointed when Yun didn't come for the svc which the cg was going to celebrate my b'day. Bt she surprised me after the svc had ended. She collaborated with Joyce to give me the surprise. She was waiting at Foyer 3 with a b'day cake! Hahaha! So touched! The cake was nice. Thx alot, my love~

Uweeeeeeeeee~~~~~~
Finally exams are officially OVER and done with! MWAHAHAHHA! Anyway I'm still lazy to upload the overdue pics. I shall post them next time. In the meantime, I wanna publish 2 things I wrote after my Finance paper, while waiting for JY and Jul to finish their marketing paper. The 1st 1 was coz I was disappointed and worried over my finance test. The 2nd was something I created myself... Wasn't referring to anyone. I just felt like writing for the sake of writing. LOL! When I finished the 2nd piece, I felt like I was a producer of some Indo movie or something. Coz it sounds quite mushy. Hahaha. So here goes...

--------------------------------------------------------------------
When you feel that you can't hold on
Everything seems to tumble down on you
Don't give up, don't look down
Embrace yourself up and see the world in another angle

Nothing can pull you down low enough
Just remember all the good things in your life
Keep that smile on your face
That can brighten up days even in their darkest moments

Life's too beautiful to be given up
Hang on tight...
Everything will be over before you know it
Move towards your dream and remember I'll always be here

Don't cover yourself up, don't hide yourself away
Show the world what you've got, what you're made of
There's a hero in every single one of us...
Waiting to be awaken

So don't belittle yourself
'Coz you're big on the inside
'Coz you might've impacted someone's life even without you knowing
'Coz you're one of the sunshine in this world
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Aku kangen sama kamu. Aku sayang sama kamu. Kamu sangat penting bagiku. Apakah kamu tau itu? Apakah kamu dapat merasakannya? Kamu adalah harta bagiku. Aku tidak bisa minta lebih daripada kamu yang sekarang ini, karna kamu yang sekarang sudah cukup. Kamu baik, kamu lucu, kamu sabar, kamu pengertian. Yang paling penting adalah kamu penuh cinta. Segalanya tentangmu adalah cinta. Tingkah lakumu yang bisa membuatku tersenyum. Caramu menyayangiku, mencintaiku...Membuatku mencintai hidupku dengan lebih lagi. Kamu bisa membuatku merindukanmu setiap saat. Apakah kamupun merasa begitu? Ataukah kuhanya bertepuk sebelah tangan?

Dapatkah kamu merasakan cintaku kepadamu? Apakah kamu tau kalau kamu selalu berada di dalam benakku? Ingin rasanya aku nyanyikan semua lagu cinta yang ada di dunia ini. Ingin aku memberikan semua yang terbaik daripadaku untukmu.

Sudikah kamu menerimaku apa adanya? Sudikah kamu menjagaku sampai akhir hayat? Sudikah kamu untuk selalu berada dekat di sisiku?

SUFFOCATION
2 papers down....2 more papers left. Gawddd I just feel like burning all the lecture notes. Send them all to hell. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for Monday to come and get over it fast. Afterwhich I'd just have to struggle a lil bit more for the Friday paper.

Studying for my Biz Finance is gonna make me age quicker than I'm supposed to.

I'm super in need of grace, wisdom and understanding. With Him by my side, nothing is impossible. Like the Adidas motto "Impossible is Nothing". Nth in this world cant be overcomed. I shall persevere now for the longer period of joy in the future :D

Will be back with more colours of life next week after all my papers are done. Ciao~
