today was crazy chocked full saturday. and i was telling zhu en to have a wonderful and happy saturday this morning and said "i'm off to have mine!"

9am, mentoring (which effectively started at 10; late as usual hehe)
1pm, captain's ball meeting
4pm, cg
6pm, wamm meeting (but was postponed to tomorrow thank goodness..phew)

so much for a wonderful and happy saturday haha. but the night rounded up nicely with a nice dinner at spaggedies with my dear woggers! and ivan bobz josh and matt. no pictures for that tho. too lazy haha.

tomorrow will be a happy and wonderful sunday..God's promise yay!

just got back from arts bash 2 not too long ago.

my voice is bad, very bad. it's more hoarse than when i shouted after the entire oweek. its VERY BAD. im VERY WORRIED. i really think i SPOILT MY VOCAL CHORDS this time round by shouting the wrong way.

dear God, please heal Your child.

a picture that swi sent me from arts camp haha.

so this is how a typical classic case of crazy gina looks like when she's trying to lead the house in doing cheers. now i know.



JUST FOR LAUGHS

this morning, i woke up crying.

i was crying so hard in the dream, the sadness overwhelmed me till i woke up, and realised that it was but a nightmare. immense sense of relief upon realization of reality.

i dreamt that i lost my mum. without ever having told her about God's salvation for her. one of my greatest nightmare.

i pray this never comes true.

here are some picts from owk

most likely going to retire as a house ic already heh. but it has been a great journey that i'll never forget! :)


so fast and the first week of school is over! pretty slack, only attended school 3days this week. some of the modules i'm taking are proving to be quite challenging..am rather worried now, what with taking 6modules and driving classes as well.

but God's grace overflows inside of me! i am going to do even better for my cap this sem! so that i have a chance of doing honours next yr. and also, i am going to pass my driving test! hahah

just got back from ivan chenie's birthday celebration awhile ago. everyone wish him happy birthday! he old man sia, 24 already haha. but we still love you iban! :)

too many celebrations/parties, they're overwhelming me man. i need some chillllout time by myself. so badly.

the time is now. :)

*postedit:i had a fantastically wonderful friday 2 days ago. 2 lectures in school coupled with a mini campus tour (who knows what does RBR stand for?!) and bumping into swi after that! the day couldn't have been better..until i met swi and jiet for longbaos@crystal jade with weida after shopping for iban's pressie with mary and matt. oh and a mini shopping spree of a top and a skirt. it was dirtcheap considering they were from topshop and zara so, yups :) fridays with gina is right back on track! IM HAPPY TOOO SWI :):):) oh and i had like the BEST DREAM EVER last night, woke up all smiley and feeling at peace with the world hehe

first and foremost today is 17August everyone! it's c.o.t.'s 1st anniversary! yay how cool is this..first anniversary sia hahah. i don't care i want a celebration listen up henghuat and weiqiang!


secondly..i hate my skin..it's deteriorating like nobody's business. esp after i went to this facialist recommended by my mum. good recommendation ah mummy. i used to go to another one previously. altho' expensive, its money's worth. this current one is cheap, but i don't see my face improving at all! it's just going from bad to worst..hate it hate it. and furthermore her products stink man..i miss my previous facialist. rarrrr i wish i had better skin and took better care of it last time. too late for any regrets..i'm giving that woman one last chance. if i don't see any marked improvements within this month i am quitting on her!


PUI!

went for my first ever driving class today! cool shit man..feels like i'm driving a bigger real life sized daytona hahah. bitingpoint! shift gears! release clutch pedal and depress accelerator! learnt how to move the car and turn at bends today..damn fun! i'm like how zai HAHAHA.

anyways last week the day before singapore's birthday was yanhan's birthday. attended her 21st celebration at her condo which i thought was really quite nice. her ntu friends..oh my gosh. so many of them, and so noisy haha. esp von's bf chunpoo whom i thought was a really really funny guy and not what i expected him to be like in real life. anyways my dear bbrs, i'm sure if we were there we would be able to drown out the ntu people! haha sorry didn't meet you guys on national day was too tired.

wsa great seeing the odacians! and thanks nigel for sending us home. supper at chomps soon! and anyway, chester is really the ahbeng lor. he's damn funny la, i think he's deluded. one of our conversations went like this:

me: chester you really very ah beng leh!

chester: what ah beng! i am a WO DI (undercover cop) ok!

me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nonstop. you think you wu jian dao ah! LAUGH SOMEMORE.

haha so stupid..and xuanyu went on to make some funny comments which i can't remember. just recalled that it was REALLY FUNNY la haha.

sparkly world


more driving tomorrow! can't wait to pass and get my license (super impatient) haha. okay i'm out nights world :)

sorry for my outburst of self-pitying moment haha. i PUI at that. haha pls forgive me. there are also times when my hyperactiveness is taken over by depressing thoughts. but i am so over that.


first day of school was pretty aiight. met a few people here and there. got a new kah kia (sidekick) for myself hahah. met people that i REALLY WANTED TO MEET. HAHAHA. EFACTOR SWI, EFACTOR.

tutorial balloting is such a drag. but Jehovah Jireh is so gonna provide.


you know, there are some girls out there who look very pretty, but in actual fact they are really made up: their hair, their faces, their dressing. without dolling themselves up they are actually really plain and MAYBE quite hideous.

i told myself i never want to become one of these girls. the beauty should be shining out from within me and not being put on as a masquerade on myself to the people around me. so what if i have lousy/ugly hair, so what if i suck at putting makeup and inept at hiding my blemishes, so what if i dont have the "perfect" body defined by society and so what if my dressing amuses people?

with God's love and blessings overflowing inside of me, i will be one of the most beautiful people on this earth. au natural. within me, not outside of me.

in 1 corinthians 13:4-8a it says..

"love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

"love never fails."


dear Lord please teach me how to love.

char said that this oweek was one of my best house ic moments ever. swi said that i have made this oweek a memorable one for the freshies and councillors.

honestly? i don't agree a single bit. i have never felt lousier. although i might seem like i did good, but on the micro level, i didn't succeed. shitloads of regrets, but what help can it do? oweek is over. and there's nothing i can do about it.

if there are any freshies/councillors reading this, i have something to say which i forgot to during the finale night. i'm sorry if i haven't been up to standards of a good house ic. nevertheless, i still hope that you had at least abit of fun at some points of time during oweek. and well..try to be friendly and say hi to me in school ok? i do not guarantee that i will remember your name but i promise to say hi back! :)

are some things better left unsaid?


reds are not cool people. ambers are even more not cool. greens are the coolest! yay!

please, if you're a red and you enjoy being red, please stay red. don't go and get yourself turning into a red+amber. that is like totally NOT COOL. ever heard of the word FAITHFULNESS you dope.

and ambers..please make up your mind. as i've said, ambers are the least cool people around.

as for greens, WE ARE COOL. stay cool..until the right person comes along. :) and btw, greens, please don't go and get yourselves involved with the reds. there's a term for such people and it's not a nice one.


this post isn't aimed for anyone in particular. a trend i see around me which is kinda disappointing. i am so tired from oweek. will update more soon.

some things..never fail to amaze me hohoho.

sentosa day tomorrow! how exciting..can't wait to see my freshies and rahrah with them. (now that sounds totally crazy but yes!)

happy happy things in life make me a happy happy girl. from here on, things will ONLY GET BETTER.


HEY PEOPLE DO THAT DANCE LET ME SEE YOU CLAP YOUR HANDS! :):):)

this is kinda overdue but better late than never! celebrated matt's 22nd at chijmes last monday night. was kinda spacey..for some reason. but nevertheless, spacey or not, there's bound to be photo-whoring!

bobby rubino's was too expensive for broke me so i didn't order anything there. got so hungry after that i jio-ed zhu en out for supper, after which euwin jio-ed me out for supper, so in the end the 3 of us went to punggol nasi lemak hehh. was fun, although the whole night those 2 boys had the time of their life ganging up together to suan me.


4days of oweek are over, 2more days left before rag. got a minor throat infection due to the lack of sleep and water. throat hurts so bad but it's ok! anything for my dear freshies haha. thinking back on the past 4days, it really ain't easy trying to rahrah a group of at least 40 people staring at you with blank faces. i remember at some points during owk i just felt so low cos everyone is like so unresponsive. but after some thinking, this is going to be my last owk after all so as i told mary, i might as well give it my all and make it a good one for everyone.

i did. i tried my best and hardest. the reactions i got were really heartwarming. it really is nice to have the whole house cheering with you, and also to see freshies being enthu and leading the house instead of always the seniors doing it. and we did a little introduction of everyone in the house which i felt was a wise move haha. all in all, oweek so far has been great. looking forward to even more fun the coming 2 days.


HAPPY NATIONAL DAY everyone! haha nights

all things nice and beautiful..

speaking of yesterday..i really da4 chu1 xue3. inital plan was to stay home and rest and psyche myself up for owk but the night before jui suddenly jio-ed me out. cos he said he took mc and he doesn't wanna stay home. seeing that he was depressedboy85 last sunday over his attachment, i decided to go out with him la. so managed to jio yu along as well. and within the first hour, i spent close to a 100bucks..SCARY. i gotta stop spending like this.

well, it was great fun, just shopping about, talking nonsense, and chilling at billy bomber's with milkshake and cheesefries. YUM!


jui, me and yu!

xian came to join us for awhile before heading for his piano lessons at suntec. btw he has AMAZING musical talents okay..SO JEALOUS! yup we walked from wisma to taka to cine to heeren before heading to church for yf. haven't been there for quite some time and apparently i became a rare guest haha. great time, great food, great friends :) so what if life's a bitch right? :)

oh i tried on this dress from stussy!

ya think this dress is nice? (disregarding the fact that i'm posing like a pregnant woman) hahah 85 buckeroos.



what i bought yesterday: a top and belt/scarf thingy from forever 21, a skirt from rip curl, beaded bracelets from topshop & a pair of shoes from levi's. cool shit. but so broke now my pay is gone haha.

anyway everyone say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister! she turns 19 today :)
