Haha Dionne told me yesterday that 'ganbatte' is actually pronounced as 'ganmbatte'

GANBATTEHHHH YUQING

Oh no, this reminds me of Yoshi, Yudai, Gen and Tomi :( I still miss them!

Anyway, first exams are in about 20 hours time and I don't feel extremely prepared yet. The papers are English Paper 2 and HCL Paper 1, which I'm not very good at. I know that I'll do bao zhang bao dao no matter what, but I think that they'll set a 'cuo shi' question for us, which I don't really like. Gotta learn new terms, new words, new paragraphs.

As for English Paper 2, I'm really nervous about it, as my compre skills and summary skills aren't very good. It's kinda obvious from this post that I always make my sentences awfully long. Oh well, I've been practicing, so I hope that tomorrow's paper will be okay.

All the best everyone!
Jia you!

It's 12.40am now, almost a week from the farewell dinner we had for IESO 2009. I don't have enough time to express all the heartfelt sadness now but I really really want to say:

I miss all of ya!

It was awesome knowing so many people from so many different countries, and not just as normal acquaintences, but as true friends who know that whenever someone is in need, we'll try our best to help each other.

Term 4 starts tomorrow. Well, this marks the start of my EOY HIATUS.
Reduced blogging
Reduced smsing
Reduced internet time

Unless the net or the phone is required for necessary and sufficient work for the preservation of exam results.

JIAYOU JIAYOU yuqing, because you know that whatever happens, you cannot do badly in exams.

i'll work hard, try my very best and pray very hard that i won't be distracted by facebook!

Somehow, there's an anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I don't know why, but I can't seem to be a good testimony as a Christian to others around me. I try my very best, but sometimes I just succumb to the temptation and take part in uber-worldly activities ;[

I'm afraid that people will call me a hypocrite behind my back, saying that I talk about Christian values blah, but I still break the ten commandments. It's really hard to tell myself that: HEY this world is only temporal, you have to focus on the higher things (literally) and make yourself pleasing to God.

It's really hard to be a cool teenager and a devout Christian at the same time. Okay, it's hard for me. I look at Wanhui, at Chisin and at Joan, they're all able to be pleasing in the eyes of men and in the eyes of the Lord, but I can't seem to be able to do it. Jesus, during His time on earth as the Son of Man, he wasn't an (quote) antisocial religious freak (quote). Rather, he was pleasing to men and pleased His Father as well.

Dear Heavenly Father, please teach my Thy ways and help me to be more like you. I want to walk in Your footsteps. Please help me.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.

Had the weirdest dream last night, woke up today with a throbbing headache! gah.

Haha okay here's how it went: Dreamt that we were celebrating my ahma's birthday at wild wild wet. It's her birthday this weekend, but what are we doing celebrating it in downtown east? haha. anyway, all the cousins were playing hide and seek and running about, chasing each other among the slides. so, I run to catch corryne, but when I turn past the next water slide, I suddenly see yangyi and yangtong step up.

me: wha-what are you doing here?
yangyi: we're actually you're longlost cousins.

what???

of course the next part of the dream is where everyone acknowledges the yangs as part of the thng family, which is extremely funny, as it involves my ahgong kissing and hugging his dad, and my da-gu dancing around,but that's not the point. In my dream I was still figuring out why it had to be yangyi and not some other person. well, at least it's not mr A.

haha then here comes the next weird part. yangyi suddenly asks me: 'do you want to know who my girlfriend is?' (;o) AND HE TAKES OUT HIS HANDPHONE AND shows me who smses him regularly. WHAT? what are we doing checking his regular chat buddies?

and all of sudden, his handphone rings. guess who's calling? my kindergarten buddy, Joan. she's getting married! and she wants me to be her bridesmaid. of course that' good, but why does she have yangyi's contacts? ...

help!! what am I doing having such a weird dream? tsk. gotta blame lingyue and elaine for talking about his girlfriend. the mysterious girl who nobody knows about. tcha. what if it's all a hoax? ahhaaaha yangyi's going to keel me now.

okay finally got it off my chest. hope mr yang doesn't see this!

Just felt like typing today.
Holidays are supposed to make you feel more relaxed right? WRONG. The government gave us school holidays, but I can't seem to slow down! Everytime I want to watch TV, or facebook, or read, there's this nagging feeling in the back of my head reminding me about unfinished stuff, like packing for Taiwan, or meeting up with Finance. GAH.

But then, at least there are two class outings tomorrow :D

Flying off to Taiwan in 4 days time! Nervous and yet excited at the same time. I have been reading up for the competition, but I still feel like I'm lacking the sufficient knowledge. :( Jonathan says to go to Alishan to look at the sunset/sunrise, but haha we can't even go to the night market.

At least it's in Taiwannnnn:) My first time to Taipei and my first trip without my parents. Can't wait to see what it's like! Hope I manage to spot some Taiwan celebrities, or eat their famous food! Haha someone told me to eat their chou dou fu, but I think I'ld rather pass. Can't wait to meet the other international delegates as well! Lanqiao says that there's a French delegate. Bonjour, j'mapelle Yuqing, et tu? Hahahaha. Thankfully Shinny is going too, and we're rooming together. It's nice to have a 309er around! Somemore it's ShinHuoy. Haha.

Okay I doubt anyone who reads this will know what I'm babbling about. Thankfully everyone thinks my blog is dead!

I'm back from Phuket!

It was a family reunion for my mother's side (the Ng family) (yeah haha my dad is thNG and my mom is Ng. They were made for each other) and so all my cousins were there. It was kinda cool, being the eldest there. I'm 15, my sister is 13 and the next oldest cousin is 7. I'm not the type who goes gaga over little children, I don't coo over them, but I think playing and talking to little kids are cool. They tell you interesting stuff. :D

One thing I learnt from staying with so many babies is that don't restrict the number of people your baby interacts with. It just makes them scared of people. Not good.

I hope that I don't sound like a self-righteous person, always going on about God.
You see, I want to be the kind of person who inspires others to look to God through her actions, and not like a Pharisee.

I want to be something like Chi Sin. A quiet but respected person who walks in the footsteps of the Lord. He seems so peaceful!

I don't want to be someone who people whisper about and call her a hypocrite. Not that I've heard anyone call me that yet. Just that I just read about a preacher who was so self-pompous that in the end everyone just ignored him.

Hopefully, I am showing others that I am a true Christian and bringing others to God.

Today, my day was really good. You know, the kind of days where at the end of the day you end up humming.

Morning: Practiced the songs I had to play for YF later on in the night. Not very good, almost became frustrated because I was nervous that I would play wrongly later on.

1pm: Went for table tennis. Saw Celine, Amanda, Elaine and others from fencing. I think Elaine wasn't too happy to see me. Played quite well for table tennis, felt energised!

3.30-4.40pm: Had physics tuition.. Still don't get moments though.

5-10pm: Went for YF. Today was great. I think the message really applied to me, because it talked about not forsaking the Sabbath day just because of exams. Sometimes my mind is on the upcoming tests, so I may not concentrate fully during church, but this message served as a wakeup call for me.
and Mr A talked to me:) ahaha I hope yangyi sees this because only he knows what I'm talking about! He talked to me! loads! And smiled at me! Flying already.

10.30pm: Came home and Dad told me that he had bought a laptop for me! :D So surprising! You see, I'm flying off to Taiwan in a week's time, and during that time, we're encouraged to bring our personal computers so that we can email our teachers and check our progress etc etc. So, I tried to use this as another reason why I should have a laptop. I didn't know that my parents would actually relent! It was a surprise to reward me for doing well in the term 3 exams.

Sometimes, we all moan and groan about how sad and tiring our lives are. Some things that weren't that bad could be exaggerated to become huge storm clouds over our heads when we feel like grumbling. But then, if you choose to look for that silver lining, what comes after that terrible storm could be one the most beautiful rainbows you could ever see. Praise the Lord.

Happy birthday 309! Haha I know I'm posting this on 05-09-2009, but anyway, a late post is better than nothing at all :)

I think that 309 is really awesome, and I mean it. Somehow, there haven't been any major catfights in our class yet, which is really good. Somemore we were all from different sec 2 classes and yet we managed to do so well!

That said, I really hope that in time to come, we will take more initiative to foster the class spirit. Right now, no one is ra-ra about our class. We're all quite calm. No extremists yet.

Joy!maria!shuwen!shinhuoy!yinxin!samhalim!sarah!christabel!smrithi!sownd!chenyin!wenqi!kelly!seeyoon!pj!ankhue!aurelia!mingze!ruolei!claudiatong!amanda!peixuan!claudiachew!averill!samc!charmaine!siying!grace!jiayi! <3

What kind of superpower would I choose to have?

Actually, I'm kinda stuck between loads of different cool powers. I mean, everyone has really cool superpowers right? Here's my TOP FIVE SUPERPOWERS list:

#5
The ability to morph
Haha you know that blue lady in X-men? The one who can assume any physical physique? Okay fine I know it won't really help in any scenario (unless you want me to turn into Barack Obama)but I think it'll be really cool if I could control my physical self. You know how I keep ranting about how fat I am.

#4
The ability to transportate
This power I'm not 100% sure yet. Is it useful? But it'll be cool :)

#3
The ability to heal
Hmm, not only self-healing, like the cheerleader in Heroes, but to also heal others, like the little boy in Heroes who can fix everything he lays his hands on. Wouldn't it be great if we could just heal ourselves after a heartbreak? But I think the most important thing is to heal others. I keep going on about wanting to become a doctor, but haha with this power, I can immediately graduate, go to Africa and heal the AIDS victims. Or just stay here and give the other doctors a run for their money.

#2
The ability to control emotions
Like Jasper!Have there been times where you just feel like making everyone less dao and snapping them back to life? Wanting them to be happier? Or less tense? If only we could control the mood in a room, like the temperature of the air-con. This way, the international delegates would stop fighting and Bush wouldn't have attacked Iraq.

#1
The ability to read and control minds
I don't want to just stop at the level of Edward, but I want to reach the stage of JEAN GREY/GRAY.Edward can only read people's minds, and he can't even control when he wants to listen. On the other hand, Jean Grey can probe right into her targets' minds, reaching into their past. She can also mindcontrol objects and levitate them! Wouldn't it be mindboggling to be able to 'push' people into thinking what you want them to think about?

What would your chosen superpower be?

An Ode to My Slippers:

Oh what great slippers ye are
I still remember when I first saw ye
And knew ye were rare

It was the day
Of the table tenniseth competition
And MZ had droppeth the drain on meh (may)

I had broken me toe
And needed slippers for me cast
So I went shoppingeth with woe

Luckily I saw ye in the shop
And went in to buy
And you weren't too pop

So I bought ye
And had you for five years
Ye are still not too small for me

Ye are not OP
Nor Reebok nor Adidas
Ye are some random bop

But I still love ye
with all me heart
So I wish I would not dirty ye.
