[ mood | happy ]
[ music | say it again-marie digby ]

yay,got it changed to acjc!
now no more selangor sightseeing for me! =DDD

and just when i made the decision to stop procrastinating and making excuses and join cell grp/arrow actively and not go twice a year, they announce that cg meetings will stick to j1s/j2s in college itself!
dang,so much for commiting my self totally to church,especially now jane joined.
now i have to wait till august to join the nus cell.i cant help but feel a lil sad.cos i was finally ready to commit to this cell group.

oh well,but i'll count my blessings,no more selangor!=D

and tmr,10th may,starts my studying for SATs.like really set aside 2/3hrs a day to study.God's grace on that! i dont want it to be a repeat of the preparation for the A's. 


so please God,grant me determination,brilliance and stamina,thanks!

and next post will be about cookie,she's grown so cute,but unbearably annoying.haha.

not so deep shit [May 07 2008 1:01pm]
[ mood | calm ]
[ music | nine in the afternoon ]

okay,i think the selangor thing is quite funny now. i mean its not that big a problem.i just have to wait till friday,when my dad gets back fr kl,use his phone to call the cust service in us,which means i have to do an 11pm call.and then calmly explain to them my dire situation,and then if all else fails,beg them to let me sit for it in singapore,i dun care anywhere,as long as its in singapore.
and to think i thought ajc was way too far away for me to travel.
i told my mum abt it,but carefully ommitted the test centre change fee. so right now she thinks she just has a not-very-bright daughter.thank God she doesnt know its a not-very-bright daughter whos gonna be $30 poorer because of a really silly mistake.though i still think its collegeboard's fault.because as usual,its not my fault.HAHA
so moral of the story?
 distance is relative.nowhere in singapore is EVER too far to travel to.

and i still really want to study in Hawaii.please God,just this one wish?

deep shit [May 06 2008 5:05pm]
[ mood | distressed ]

oh crappppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp.
i cld like just die right now.
i just registered online for SATs,
put my 1st choice test centre as AJC,2nd choice as st francis sch yest.
today when i checked they said st.francis' full,so i had to select another choice,and only choice left was ajc.so i clicked it as 2nd choice.
and they said sorry 1st and 2nd choice must be different. so fine i try leaving it as st francis,they said i must make a valid second choice.
SO,I had the bright idea of selecting Selangor as my 2nd choice,since you know,malaysia's the next closest.
But,OF COURSE, i wldnt get my 2nd choice rite?i HAD to get my 1st choice.

so i happily click submit.
AND BLOODY HELL, SELANGOR'S MY TEST CENTRE!
i cld just scream or die.
or do both.
im paying for my test out of my chng kee paycheck,and i cant afford to pay the us21 bucks for test centre change plus the long distance calling.oh why oh why do stupid things like this happen!
and i definately am not going to waste my time going all the way to selangor just to stay for a 3-4 hr test.
aaarrrggghhhhhh shit. x100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

[ mood | ecstatic ]
[ music | Salvation is Here- Hillsongs United ]

yay, woohoo!
i got into NUS' faculty of SCIENCE!!
yayyayYAY!! all glory to God, =P to all those at the nus science booth who said i wouldn't get a place with my grades or even with my discretionary admission!hah! havent they heard of miracles and grace?
okay enough of gloating,cos honestly,its by the grace of God,that evrything for the local unis just fell into place!
and i cant believe i'm saying this,but im torn between going to nus or ntu life sciences!
imagine that,i thought i wouldnt get into any sciences=DDD
so praise the Lord!!!!!!!!
yay im so happy!!!!!
i rmb praying aft the A's,that if God wanted me to fosake my vet dream,that i wldnt get into ntu's biological sciences n instead get into my 2nd choice of wkw comm, n go into journalism instead.
and so now im thankful one career dilemma's settled =)
my mum's really happy, but i think my dad's worried,cos he has to undertake a 2nd bank loan. =/
now i dont even know whether to apply for murdoch...
oh well,anyway all glory to God!=))

 God above all the world in motion,
God above all my hopes and fears,
Well I don't care what the world throws at me now,

Cause I know my God saved the day,
And I know His word never fails,
And I know my God made a way for me,

fly away [April 30 2008 5:15pm]
[ mood | wistful ]
[ music | panic at the disco ]

blahhh,im sick at home with tonsils.it sucks cos im not allowed to eat anything besides soups,non-spicy and non-fried stuff,leaving me with bread and bland soup.
im beginning to think i'll never be able to turn vegetarian by the time i turn 19.
and im still contemplating whether to take my sats...hmmm.ive no idea if i'll ever use it.

anyway tmr's 1st may,i think its the 10 or 11th death anniversary of my paternal grandpa, Papa Charlie.
we're supposed to go visit his grave tmr,but now due to complicated family politics (which freaking annoys me,why cant everyone just get along and stop gossiping!), we're not sure if everyone's going,or if we're going.i hope we do,and that my tonsils are better by tmr.

i still do miss papa charlie sometimes,though its more like i see something n it reminds me off him. whenever i see a tall-ish skinny indian man with white hair,i think of him. and i really am proud of him,lemme tell you abt him,and boast on his behalf!so family history time!
he was a sailor,who sailed(partly to get away from his strict dad). when the japanese occupation came,he joined the underground foces against the japs,but unfortunately was captured and sent to burma and slogged over the burmese railway. thank God he survived, he came back married my grandma when she was 16,he 31.and then proceeded to live a very very simple quiet life,rarely venturing out of the house.
i wished he was still alive,so i could ask him to tell me all his war stories and sea adventures.im a sucker for any older person armed with their life stories to tell me.
my mum said he told them to all his children and their spouses so many times they got bored and eventually tuned out when he told them abt it. funny how it is huh. u never do appreciate what's you have,when someone else would be more than thrilled to take ur place. 
n he was a great grandpa,nice to the fault n really gentle. though i heard he was a boxer,thats how my dad n his brothers learnt to fight.haha..

everyone says he was a simple man,he definately wasn't worldly,and probably could never quote me socrates. or debate religion with anyone,nor could he effectively run a business, but all that didnt matter. cos he was gentle, kind, devoted and loving, and thats more than enough to me,cos he was a perfect grandpa, and i loved him in that short time i got to know him.i wished he was ard longer,but he was 82,so i guess thats a ripe old age to have lived to.
okay before i sound overly sappy,i just wished grandpa,granny and papa charlie were still ard. tmr's also gonna be the 2nd mth since granny's gone,though it still feels more recent than that.
and you know,i hope and pray,there really is a heaven and not purgatory,just so that they 3 would be there happy and at peace.

twilight [April 27 2008 4:00pm]
[ mood | hopeful ]
[ music | what if you by joshua radin ]

WARNING: LONG RAMBLING POST AHEAD.

    oh my gosh, ive just read twilight.i cant believe ive waited this long,and i can't stop gushing abt it like a lovestruck fool.
    i think im in love with edward cullen,but then again who wouldn't be? he's perfect,and more. first of all he's beautiful, sophisticated, sexy, brilliant, a musical genius, witty, funny, awesomely strong, sweet, romantic, mysterious, charasmatic, brave, fast, gorgeous, alluring and even rich,though that kinda pales in comparison with his other qualities.haha.
    oh man,i mean for heaven's sake,he literally sparkles, what more could you ask for?
    I am so in love with him,im only too aware of the reality i'll eventually have to settle for less, cos he's only a chracter in a book n all,sigh. but the fact he's a vampire adds on to the charm and the phantasm edward is.

    anyway it all got me thinking, about love and relationships. i think the reason i loved the book so much, was because,unlike other lame ass teenage trashy romance novels around (which are still btw one of my favourite genres), it was a intense raw romance ignited by passion-filled chemistry, that transcended time, space, barriers, prejudices. okay wait,i think i just made it sound like a cheap second rate flick.haha, butyou kinda get what i mean right? like a classic romeo n juliet story,though this one's more of a happier ending,and at least edward and bella have more personality and quirks to make them feel way more relatable than romeo n juliet ever was, because honestly i felt romeo n juliet was just abt two hormone crazed teens,using flowery prose to sugarcoat their actual intention of jumping into each others' pants. (i guess you can tell i'm no great fan of shakesphere) 

   
and it makes me wonder, does passion fade with age? do these intense romances only belong to teenagers,capable of loving someone way too much,ur willing to risk anything? will they ever last?
    looking at my parents yest,when we were out for dinner,it struck me,what if they weren't each other soulmates?and then it made me sad. i wld never want the guy i marry to be second best,the one that wasnt meant for me, but what if u did, and you knew it?

    and it also got me thinking.i've never dated,nor had a boyfriend,and i can honestly tell you i've never regretted being single. i cld never bring myself to go out with someone i could never see myself with,and i thought that was a wonderful theory to go by. but now that im reaching 19,the last year of being a teen,it makes me sad sometimes,that i'll never get to experience that rush and joy of falling completely in love with someone,with the full fledged naivety that he loves you back unconditionally, and making all those mistakes you wld without any truly dire consequences,simply because you unknowingly have a safety net of family and friends,who will be there to catch you,when the boy fails you.you dun have responsibilities to level your judgement,u can act based on pure emotion alone and then u can blame it all on raging estrogen. and through it all, you mature and realise that you actually will survive and grow stronger,and congratulations! ur a step  further on your path to self discovery and independence. unless of course you found mr right,and then continue to be with him for say the next 80 yrs.

    so dont get me wrong,i definately don't regret never being into the dating scene and all,if there ever was any regret,it wld be because i'm afraid i'll never have that raw passionate romances i read and hear about. i'm hoping those still exist when im 30,and when i find whoever it is meant for me,and im meant for,i hope that same passion still lasts till im 92,when he'll still buy me flowers just cos he thinks i look beautiful on that day. 

 
   at the moment,i definately think im more in love with the idea of love more than i'll ever be with the person himself, but its kinda weird to tell this to others aka older family and friends,when they ask why i don't have a boyfriend. so i just say u noe,high standards n all,prob won't find one any time soon, and then i smile brightly to throw them off track and say "but kim has a boyfriend,ask her abt him." or to the extremely kpoh ones,i say i actually have 5,but couldnt decide which one to bring today,that normally shuts them up.haha!
and i know by now you may think im a hopeless romantic,but honestly i rather wait than give a little of my heart to each boy i call a boyfriend,even if it means sacrificing that teenage whirlwind romance thats so attractive, because eventually when my edward cullen comes a-knocking,i'll be so glad i waited,with my whole heart for him
.

    okay i think thats enough of my long windedness!im gonna collect my pay tmr,and also try to get a job at eastpoint's vet.God's grace on that. this limbo period sucks,especially since i dun have a job,every tiny speck of a problem is easily magnified into a crisis,im that bored! and its still kinda unclear abt my uni plans.ive no idea where i'll end up. its the financial part thats making everything so unclear,i wld go overseas to embark on my vet dream if i only my parents could truly tell me they could send me,and still live comfortably.but right now,thats obviously out. but today in church, because of miracle seed sunday,this guy &his company was cleared of a usd 41 million bankdebt,thats like EIGHT freaking digits,and i only need six for my overseas education! so its def not too big a problem for God to just let that money drop out of the sky for me,right?or in any other more plausible way.
i just need to have some faith.

  i also realised you know what,i wld love to be like jeff corwin,have my own show abt endangered animals in asia,and the horrible illegal wildlife trade prospering here.i wld be saving animals,i wld be making a difference,and all glory would still be God's. so maybe a science degree from nus wouldnt be too bad an option to seriously consider.hmmm.

[ mood | grateful ]

 oh n i forgot,i got a letter today from ntu,got accepted into biological sciences!
all glory to God,cos an ACD is def not the best grades.
but then again detractors say,there prob wasnt many ppl who applied for that course this year,n science is like the reject sch,blah blah.
whatever, okay.
at least now im cleared,cos a dilemma was deciding between going into media,find a niche in wildlife journalism.but thats out of the qn,since i got into my 1st choice.
so anyway,praise the Lord!
now ,i wait for nus.
