IF ONLY i loved running and all that stuff (which, if u know me, i don't)..i'd totally join the army! seriously. it's like my dream. isn't it so cool??? to be one of the few tough girls able to fire a rifle n stuff.. but now i can't even be bothered to walk to the DC for meals sometimes, so..think this dream oughta be abandoned.
IF ONLY i could cook...i'd be a pro chef. but i can't cook even if my life depended on it.. which is really saddening. cuz i've been watching the next food network star, and it's amazing how they can whip up all these yummilicious dishes! being a pro chef would be awesome..creating all these artistic, beautiful dishes..so much fun!
IF ONLY i could do stats. hahaha. i'd be a psychologist. the stuff we're learning in class now is actually really interesting! learnt so much about memory, how genes affect our personality, etc. plus our professor does outside counselling, so he meets all these fascinating pple with fascinating problems..and he gets to help them, which is really cool.
IF ONLY i were more disciplined in practising my music so i'll improve..maybe i can actually be a professional musician. which is really tough cuz there are so many other musicians out there better than me and still not discovered. aahhh..imagine the lights, sounds, pple out in front of u..singing the songs YOU wrote. nothing could be more amazing than that. except maybe pple singing the songs u wrote FOR God. that would be the best thing i could ever do with my life.

tons of fun~
that's what today was...fun! :) woke up early to go to upland community church. went for their contemporary service, which.. wasn't very contemporary. haha. kinda slow. but really short. way less than 2 hrs. walked there n back in the pouring rain with some girls frm my dorm. sermon was about 'when God prompts u, just DO it!' was pretty gd :)
lunch was exactly the same as every sunday. potatoes, pasta, bread. ughhh. went for gospel choir prac again! our last before the actual thing tmr. pretty excited!!! was fun! the pastor from some church came and hyped us up. his voice was...one word:power!!! and he himself overpowered all 30+ of us. sang lots of gospel songs..got to move and dance like a gospel choir. i love how unpredictable gospel is..like whatever the pastor feels like doing, he just leads us into it and we spontaneously follow.
this song rocks
~take the shackles off my feet so i can praise You
i just wanna praise You, i just wanna praise You
You broke the chains now i can lift my hands
and i'm gonna praise You, i'm gonna praise You~
at night went for berto ramon's concert at the union. was simply AWESOME! haha. they're frm chicago, but never heard of them before, so wasn't really excited. but once they started playing and got everyone to stand in front of the stage, the atmosphere was hyped up!! pple were dancing n getting all excited..their style was pretty cool. hiphop-reggae-funk. bought their cd!! haha. had such a great time dancing! like, heck with the LTC and the rule about no dancing. u can't NOT move when there's music this great! felt like it was clubbing minus the smoke and dim lights. yup, it was pretty much awesome. we should do this everyday. :)

the fray concert!
lead singer of the opening act. some unknown band with unique instruments like some distorted electric guitar thingy. he had some majorly cool moves. like this one.
me and sung ah all excited :)
the fray! with cool lighting. we had awesome 5th row tix thanks to my fren who knew the fray! they went to her church :)
fuzzi wuzzie
slack :)
that describes today. woke up at 1.30pm!! SUCH a gd rest. went for The Fray concert in the evening at purdue university..2hrs drive away from here. it was a pretty cool uni. huge! and their music hall (where the concert was held) was awesomely majestic! amazing. the concert was pretty good. they're great live. but not so much the energy from the crowd. everyone was pretty dead. dunno why!
anw the looonng drive there and back made me think. why on earth did God put me in taylor university??? it's such a ulu place. surrounded by ulu-ness. i always thought the college experience would be the best years of my life - having fun n doing crazy stuff n all, but...here i am in the middle of nowhere with cornfields. not that it isn't fun here. it is! and i've met so many great pple.
but it's just..different from what i expected. wondering if i should transfer...i don't know...not as if my parents would let me anyway. but we really do live in the 'taylor bubble' despite arguments to the contrary. we're just stuck in this little world all by our own, so sheltered and protected from the 'real world'. then what happens when we do finally go out into the world to work..won't we be shocked by all the stuff that's goin on because we're too used to being surrounded by christians and good pple? feel like i need to go out into the world and experience stuff!! but at the same time..the world's pretty scary and part of me likes being protected here. plus there are all these wonderful ministry opportunities here that would be hard to obtain elsewhere.
so..i realize i'm probably being selfish. wanting to have fun and do what i want instead of obeying God's call for me to be here at taylor and do what He wants. sigh. it's just hard i guess. still not really used to living in surburbia america. so much more boring than s'pore could ever be.

tingles in my toes
random title. haha. this wk's been...slowwww so far. so slow! class is so slow and boring. well the stuff we're learning is pretty interesting..all those experiments on animals and children. so poor thing. but 2 1/2 hrs of class everyday! ugh. that can make even the best class tiring. but should be pretty easy to ace. all we have to go is turn up and hand in hw everyday and automatically we get 300/500 pts. coolness. plus the quizzes aren't all that bad.
watched the devil wears prada..pretty cool movie! learnt how to write a cheque (dun laugh!) to pay my overdue credit card bills. haha. i'm becoming independent! proud of me :) tried to grind out a schedule to go workout, but...the gym's just too far away! and it's too cold to go anywhere but my room. the wind blew today and i thought my ears were gonna drop off. u know how in movies they always show pple who freeze in cold temperatures and their ears turn black and fall off? so freaky. thought that would happen to me. so i tried to cover my ears with my hands. but then they turned numb. so that didn't work out so well. haha. should learn to cover up more. sweating buckets under an overabundance of layers is a much preferred option to shivering intensely under insufficient layers. :)
anw i did spend a few hours in the music room yesterday. therapeutic time for myself and God. and my guit :)
today went for gospel choir prac! for martin luther king jr day, which is..coming up soon i think. my first MLK day. haha. not even a holiday can! at least not for my class. sad. but we're gonna be singing for chapel. yay! quite fun..never been in a choir before!!! but it's so unbelievably hard. i'm supposed to sing alto but then i hear the tenor voices beside me and the next thing i know, i'm happily and obliviously singing tenor with them too. haha. and then i affect people next to me, and it spreads like the plague. so the alto voices disappear even though there are more altos than others.
~give me one pure and holy passion
give me one magnificent obsession
give me one glorious ambition for my life
to know and follow hard after YOU~

thanksgiving for 2006
Dear Lord,
What can I say, besides a heartfelt thank You
for the ups and downs You've brought me through
This last year was an incredible experience of joy, hope, faith, love
Breaking out with help from Your hand above.
In You I found
Perseverance
Determination
Inspiration
In You I found
The strength that lifted me when I was down.
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see
When Your love, Your touch, Your presence was lost to me.
In pieces
I surrendered all to You.
All my fears, struggles, burdens and pain
You simply washed them away like the rain
Comforting me in Your tight embrace.
I can never understand the purpose of Your ways
Why certain things cause tears streaming down my face everyday
Why certain people fill me with hurt and doubt at what they say
It's been an overwhelming journey
And through it all, You've been with me
Given me an amazing, supportive, loving family.
My hands, my heart, my life, my all
I continue to offer unto You as I answer Your call
With all I am, to love You
With all I have, to serve You
You're all that I live for
Your unconditional love wraps around me - I couldn't ask for more
To start this year right, my life is Yours for the taking.
All praise and glory be to our awesome God! :)

end of week one!
so fast..one wk has flown by! s'pore seems so far away again..had my first quiz on fri. got 8/10 not bad! haha. but the one tmr's gonna be a killer. for me at least. the stuff is so boring! something about brains and neurons and all that. plus i've nv taken bio before, so..i'm hoping i get to learn about crazy people and get into the minds of terrorists soon. haha.
went to walmart twice this weekend! got lots of stuff! mum - be proud of me! i got healthy foods!! totally resisted the urge to buy chocolate or cookies or any of that evil stuff. didn't even buy ONE bar! can u tell i'm bursting with pride and joy at my strong and determined will!! only got like fruits, yogurt, granola bars..and they are pretty yummy! :) plus i got a hotpot (american for 'kettle') and yay!
more maggi mee/ramen. haha. i didn't know it was possible, but i think DC food actually got worse. it's soggy and greasy and mushy all at the same time. ughhh. anw u should see the huge pile of food behind me now. don't know how i'm ever gonna finish it.
it's been raining alot. really cold and wet. can hear the mud squishing beneath my boots. which by the way i think looks manly! sad. but yesterday's weather was awesome! i took a step outside and was blown away by the fresh air and lovely cold-but-not-so-cold temperature! it smelled wonderful too..like disneyland. haha. so..yesterday i helped cook korean food for a couple of pple in this really nice professor's house. so yummy! except for the raw squid!! think my clothes are gonna perpetually smell like oil. watched a movie aft that. really tired now. think my flu's starting to act up again. need to get sleep!
kay..one last thing. SUPER duper excited to go to NEW YORK for interterm break! which is from 26jan to 30jan. heh. not very long, but still! NYC here i come! so cool! cuz my parents are on some matchmaking conference there..plus cartoon's coming with me! yayy! shopping! broadway!!! :)

the guys were entertaining though. some guy dressed up as a fairy n flapped his wings everytime the other team tried to score. he distracted them for a while. but it didn't work mostly. haha. got really tired. haven't got much sleep this wk. having trouble sleeping. dunno why. but didn't get to bed till like 2+ cuz watched beauty n the beast w cartoon arnd midnight. heh.

got back to campus n managed to watch the last part of the ~joys of christmas~ concert. the jazz ensemble was pretty cool. i wanna learn drums for jazz!! so..was planning to study when i got back to my room. but somehow..cartoon came over n we had an impromptu dance party. ahahaha. just the two of us. was hilarious.

yayy again!
yay so happy! realized in exactly ONE WEEK i'll be on a plane HOMEEEEE!aaahhh.
can't believe it's so fast. i've said this 1001 times but i still can't believe it!!
4+months have flown by since i left s'pore. seems short but feels fast.so excited abt goin home i keep beaming every few seconds. or smiling secretly to myself. haha. hope pple don't think i'm mad. but i am! mad abt goin home! yayyy again!!
ystdy a grp in class gave a speech on aliens existing. haha. was pretty funny. can't wait for fri so my grp speech can be over!! dunno if i've said this b4 but we're doin on music. i love music~
had gerig open hse..i didn't really do much to help out with the deco.heh.went over to english to see their open hse. was really cool. different wings had different themes..like candyland..nightmare before christmas..and of cuz they had plenty of cookies! i love christmas cookies!
went back to gerig. my suite was doin this nail n massage salon spa thingy..so i painted pple's nails. n there was this guy who was super funny! like he knew more abt beauty n nails n everything more than the girls..haha. was really amusing.
then at 11 we had this eggnog contest in the lounge. was pretty hyped up. alot of pple came. had like 8 contestants..and they kept downing eggnog until they puked. that was the only way to get outta the contest - by puking. so gross can!!
so we got to see every single one of them puke. was gross but entertaining. hahahha.
some pple nearly puked just by watching them puke. i've nv tried eggnog but after this i dun wanna try it. ever. the winner downed like 23 cups. ew.
today was our last foundations of christian thought test!yay!it was a pretty boring class, but i learnt quite abit.abt the different worldviews. like some completely stupid ones like pantheism - everything is an illusion. this keyboard tt i'm typing on doesn't actually exist. suffering dun exist. we're all one with the universe. altogether now - ommmmm...

yay! all better!
thanks for all ur prayers! i'm feelin much better now! :) had a horrid headache ystdy. the weird thing is, i feel sick-ish when i'm in my room, but once i go out into the cold air n talk to pple i feel much better. heh. anw the sore throat's gone, so that's gd.
this wk's so full of stuff! esp open houses. that's like when all the dorms are open for anyone to go see..so like guys can go to girls' dorms n vice versa. some dorms had pretty sweet decorations. penthouse was like the best. they must've spent days on it!! cuz they transformed the whole hallway into like this medieval theme thingy..with dragons and castle walls and shields and even a well in the middle of nowhere. was really cool. not christmas-y, but still cool.
ooh and i started wearing my thicker jacket nowadays..cuz it's been snowing. the sidewalks are all frosted over. super duper cold. esp when the wind blows all the snow flurries into ur face. ugh. totally stinging. so anw i look really poofyy!!! like a big huge ball with so many layers. hahah. but whatever. i'd rather be ugly n warm than look nice n freeze to death.
too much stuff to do this wk. final presentation for public speaking..ughhhh. really want it to be over soon!! and have to re-do my expos paper cuz the teacher said i plagiarized!! what an insult! well..actually it's probably true. i mostly copied and pasted lotsa stuff. haha. was just hoping she wouldn't find out. sighh. now have to go thru it again. i hate the topic of child abuse. i've read everything about it TO DEATH. so sick of it! really wanting next thur to come..cuz that means all the finals are over n i get to go home! still need to find a ride to the airport, though. can't believe time flies by so fast. feels like just yesterday we were having orientation. now the semester's almost over! and i actually haven't seen my family n friends n abt 5 months! whoaaa.
anw..ILOVECHRISTMAS!~

...
ok so i realized my blog's gettin kinda annoyingly big n slow..so deleted some pics since pple have alrdy seen them..
anw..this wk's been slow.and yet fast.really really cant wait for christmas!! haven't got much sleep this wk even though i dun have much hw.guess why???been watching tv shows on youtube. like america's next top model! and one tree hill! haha.
next wk's gonna suck..2 grp presentations..a few papers due n a test. ugh. but whatever. can't wait to go hommmeee!!!! :))))
ystdy we had this christmas banquet thingy..pple were all dressed up n stuff. but i didn't really care. my cramps was bugging me to death. first time since i've been here that it hurts so bad. sighhh. and i thought it was gone. sometimes i just dun understand why God lets me go through so much pain every single month. why me..so unfair. especially when most other pple i know never even experience this kinda pain before. this time was especially bad. got all nauseated n giddy n everything. ugh.
but..took a pill. it helped. feel like an escapist though. dun usually take the pills. but just didn't wanna be in pain the whole day.
so...went to see taylor chorale perform last nite..was ok. kinda fell asleep. heh.
