I'm back to an emo self again. I guess it's coz of the much hyper week I had, which was totally not the usual week.


Lack of sleep = tired = running wild imaginations

----------------

I kept thinking of many things today, feeling emo over things which I shouldn't be now. And I don't know why I'm worrying about it! Maybe I have figured out somethings that I really want in life. It's just uncertain. Even the things that I was affirmative about just got me all wavering again.

One of it was going Europe with nooschoir.

I was sure and confirmed that I do not want to go. But that a few weeks ago.

Today, I feel like I want to be with them. Am I feeling this way after having so much fun with them over the week that I really do not want to miss out on it again? Or is it coz of someone/people/other reason that I'm thinking that way?

I already told myself that I can't go! And I should just STOP thinking about it!
1. No money (~$2.5k) And my parents are definitely not going to support me with the finances. They already told me that when I wanted to go Hangzhou this July. I paid for almost the full expenses of HZ (~$1.5k).

2. Time is not a factor. If I want, I definitely can juggle just as how I did this summer hols. But there are other factors branching out from here.
- Internship. I really want to do another intern. Esp HR side. Would I be able to find a company so accommodating that i can take leave in between in June?
- Hall. There's lots of planning to do for 30th events!
- Travelling. I dread travelling back to school for practices :( sadly to say...

3. Family. I wanted to keep the europe experience to be with them...

4. Meetings. I would still be in the comm and have to attend all those late night meetings. I don't want. I want to JUST SING!

And would I waver again if people tell me they want me to go? I don't know what is my deciding factor this time. To even think about it means I haven't closed the case in my own mind. I'm still giving myself a chance I guess.

But I really love singing and performing! And competing of course. Travelling with choir this time would probably be my last since I may not be able to travel when I start working...And it's the people who are going...

I'm torn.

And why am I thinking about this now?? Closing date is in Jan coz paper work and all has to be settled. But I definitely can't make a decision by then!
- Where am I going to get the money?
- Can I find a company by then for my intern??
- Would I regret going/not going?

Darn..I hate being in such a situation..someone tell me how :(

----------------

And I'm getting really bitchy while writing my reflection paper for one of the modules. I write as though the person is very bad. I shall be nice and cut down on it. So much for being honest.

Will continue writing the reflection paper tmr. Oh yah..and even so, I have to be politically correct for that paper...

-----------------

Gab sent us the music files from Chambers' Concert last week. O Nata Lux by Morten Lauridsen is on my iTunes repeat! Lovely :)

Love this sem's Chamber Singers and I'm missing them now :(

This is the best module I've ever taken and I'm so glad we can be "alumni" for it :)



-----------------

I guess I'll be blogging more for the next few days :) Shall be updating the surprise parties soon :) And many other things!

-----------------
I should be studying :X

Leaving you with a pic which I'm using for all my profiles :)

Thanks to JoelYeo for his good photog skills :)

Surprise 2: Shazana's 21st birthday surprise!
7 Nov 2009, her place
Setup: 8-10pm
Actual: 10-11pm

Shaz was suppose to have her 21st birthday party! However, her mum was injured and the party was cancelled.

Zhen called me up that night while I was at grandparent's place and asked if I was keen to go and surprise Shaz! Of course lah!! Best friend leh :) And it was so exciting!

I met zhen at Geylang East Library after Dad dropped me off there. And we went SHOPPING! I left house with only my phone coz grandparent's place only! So had to borrow money and ez-link from mum! :X

Zhen and I went shopping for candles and decorations! Dianne was to get the flowers. But while shopping, we saw flower seeds! I told Zhen "why don't we just give her the flower seeds! It'll last her a very long time! Coz I don't think she'll grow them :X"

But well, of course we didn't :)

We headed off to Shaz's place. She was suppose to be home after 9+pm when the visiting hours at SGH was over. So we safely thought no one was at home.

Zhen and I started to decorate, play with the blue streamers we bought and took photos. We talked at our normal voice! Then Zhen said she heard noises from inside the house, but quite softly. We ignored.

We went to the staircase landing to place the candles onto the Renaldo's Strudel we bought as the cake. Normal cakes would melt by the time we reached Shaz's place.

I called Shaz as a decoy. Like to just ask how is she, what is she doing, where was she. And she was at home watching National Treasure! That means whatever we were doing outside just now, she may have heard! We were so worried that she would suddenly open the door coz we already put the streamers on it!

Dianne and Kenneth came soon after and blew balloons! Before that, little boys ran up and down the stairs and a family came down. They "shhhh"ed the ang mo guy that was with them as he was saying "oh wow! A surprise!" And yes, Shaz could almost hear!

We were ready! And put balloons at her doorstep.


Coz the wind was blowing so great and the streamers were too hard to take off (actually its just that Shaz has no skill :X), so she blew her candles from behind the door!

Surprised she was :)

Oh yes, her sister and her heard the noise that zhen and I made while decorating and saw the flash from the camera but thought it was lightning and she was lazy to go out to check. So thank goodness you didn't!! If not, the surprise wouldn't have been a surprise anymore :D

And the lovely girl had many pics :)

It's been ages since we last met and I'm so glad we could be there for your 21st :)

Happy Birthday Shaz :)

Surprise 1: Joel's early 22nd birthday surprise!


5 Nov 2009, CFA
Actual: 10-11pm
Happy Birthday Masketeer!

He's so lucky to have such a lovely girlfriend who masterminded the birthday surprise with michyyeoh! The idea of appearing from behind the whiteboard after the birthday song was just an ingenious idea! Just that the guy was slow and only saw her name on the whiteboard and didn't realise she was there! Surprise! Coz he wasn't expecting her :)

Lovely Heartshaped balloons that didn't blow to look like them :)
Lovely birthday cake baked by the girlfriend!
Lovely people who stayed to celebrate his very early birthday!

The above song lyrics just make my heart melt! Especially the chorus.

It's the little things that we share, the love and joy that's in the air

I'm really thankful for friends, family and all who love me! Just this week alone, from last Thurs, to this Thurs, I was part of 4 very special surprise birthday parties! And I felt natural happiness from it :)

I really want to record it all down and play it when I'm old and show my grandchildren how happy my life is with so many lovely people! And how haps my life was :)

It's 245am now. And I'm suppose to be sleeping. but of course, feelings come at very weird times of the day!! And always when I'm supposed to be doing something else, especially sleeping. I'm waiting for Peimin's birthday videos to be loaded to facebook :) Already loaded 4 and waiting for the last 2 to be up! Somehow, it's faster at this time. Of course, when everyone else is sleeping!

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following surprised people - Joel, Shaz and Peimin :) You all are loved and treasured by me :) And the rest of course!

I'm suppose to be doing my script for tmr's (rather, later at 3pm) OB presentation. Done with the ppt :) SO HAPPY! I love doing ppts and that it looks presentable enough :) Don't like doing content though. Anyway, it's with Chantal now so, staying awake to keep her company as she does the last edits.


Anyway, I'm sure there's time to fork out to write this little note :)

--------------------

Thank you Willy for the very loving and heartwarming lesson this morning during bible class :)

He taught from Ps 142. And about how David didn't have a friend when he was in the time of need. We should be a friend to someone and show them love and care. Even when they are not seen often around us.

When he said, you should have everyone's email add, hp, facebook etc. Any little way that can connect with the rest of the class is good. And yet, I realised I don't even have Debra's (who sits beside me every week) contact details! :(

He said he wanted everyone in class to do something different during service:
- Sit with someone you never, or haven't sat with for a long time
- Talk to someone you haven't spoken to in a long while
- SMS someone to ask how is he/she
- Send your love

And I think it's just God-send. God has it all planned out for us!

I was telling Dad at dinner about what Willy taught and what he told us to do. Dad was appalled and I guess God is just all around us! :)

- I sat with someone I really did not know previously and never spoke to her before. She is Pauline, Ruiqi's cousin. Even though I couldn't teach her much, but I made friends with her :) I hope she comes back again! :)

- I was to meet OB group mates - Hf, Sara, Kevin, Chantal and Wenjie at Raffles Place MRT. And I casually asked Ben (benjamin) after class if he was going back to SMU for project. And he was! So dad and mum gave us a lift to the MRT after service (without lunch :X). And we took the train. Having company for the train ride was so much better! No hunger too! :) Really caught up much with him! He's going France SEP for 7 months next year :( Gonna miss you Ben!

- Just as Willy said, In a world of technology, all of us have the most basic form of communication - the Cell phone. Immediately, I got an SMS from my dearest friend Lawrence who was in the same classroom as i was just probably a metre away..."how are you????" but that's nice enough :)

- Sent my love to:
Willy - Thanking him for the lesson today!
Dinah - For missing her.

Thank God for friends and showering His many blessings on me! :)

--------------------

When I got off the train at Raffles Place, I was really hungry :X and so I took a walk around Raffles Place MRT to find the nearest Macs. But I detoured a bit knowing I won't get there yet. Oh i reached there at 1pm when my meeting was at 2pm. So lots of time to walk around. I walked to One Raffles Quay and One Marina Boulevard - Mostly offices so it was deserted! Just for some cleaners and security guards.

After much walking, I gave up. Went to grab Mr Bean. That was the only thing opened! Besides 7-11. And casually asked the cashier where the nearest Macs was. She directed me and TADA! I was at the Clarke Quay Riverside Macs!

I went up and sat down. It was nice and cozy :) Really a great place to study! just that I can't use my laptop coz there's no powerplug :(

Soon my group mates came and we migrated away from the window I was looking out earlier.

Ben and I were constantly msg-ing each other, chatting about our group mates and how I couldn't find the macs etc. He was doing his project rehearsal too! But the group was just not agreeing. And I thought my OB group was worse. Oh well, for once, I didn't quarrel with Kevin today! So not too bad...But when they said we got to write the conclusion together, I almost fainted :x more wasting time!

I jokingly replied Ben - Save me!

And this was our conversation:
Ben: I come fetch you la haha.
Me: Huh! You at proj meeting also leh! No need lah!!
Ben: No la I can leave school then come find u. Nt very far. Half hour? Haha want or not?
Me: Hahahha!! If you want :) I don't mind!
Ben: K set coming now haha
Me: No no!! no need lah!! really!!
Ben: Haha I serious lei anyway i leaving school already so if u want its no problem
Me: And then do what??
Ben: Take u out of e meeting la haha. Then go home lor
Me: Aiyo no need no need! you go home lah!
Ben: Lol okay if you say so haha its at your loss!

And of coz I didn't want him to come!! inconvenience him only... but i just thought the conversation was so funny!! wonder if I said ok, would he really come? :))

-----------------------

Thank God for everything so far! Life has been good and I'm loving it! macs :)

One more presentation and Chambers' concert on wed and I'm done :) RELAX :)
