hehheh. YAY my exams are finally over, i went to the salon to do my hair, and i bought a handphone cover! (:

but with the end of exams, there's alot of homework to do. GOODNESS.

and i've decided that i won't be going for the foodtrail. i feel quite bad about it; especially since the way miss ang apparently said it to the new exco sounded like i WAS going. rather, contrary to popular beliefs, i'm not. there's too much homework that nj is pumping us with, how to! :/

mm let's see:

1) Chapters 1-13 of Painless Vocabulary

the way that she just suddenly gave us this homework seems like vocabulary is going to be painful instead of painless.

2) Diversity and Evolution tutorial

3) Video Questions

4) Group VII tutorial

5) Group II Assignment Question

6) Atomic Structure, Physical Periodicity, and Chemical Bonding Revision Package Questions

7) Sampling tutorial

8) SAJC 2007 Prelims Physical Geog (DRQ i think)

LOOK AT THE LIST MAN! &&& I've only done (3) and (4). D:

i'm halfway through (1) though, and i've read the notes for (5).

&! i need to do all except (6) by TOMORROW. :S

goodness gracious me.

on a side note, the KSA people that come this year seem to look better than those who came last year. heh.

(: YOOHOO. it's finally the end of the week!

i have around 1 hour, or rather 51 minutes to the sisc briefing, and so i shall type a short post here.

alright.
1) YAYYYYY I FINALLY COMPLETED MY HUMAN GEOG ESSAY ON GAP INC! :) i'm really pleased about it; at least it's over and done with. grr i've got so many things to do, and homework is piling up up up ):

2) we just had low kwee peng for chem lesson! it was a real surprise because we were told that marcus yip was coming to teach us, and well, we were really dreading it. mr low was really good. like he teaches at a good pace, he gives us tips on what to write for the exams and what not to, and he isn't boring. so that's good!

3) NEXT WEEK IS ISSF AND MY KOREAN FRIEND IS COMING OVER! really really pleased about that :) haha i seem pleased about many things. but it's kinda cool. we haven't met each other for like almost two years! yeah, so both of us are looking forward to meeting each other (: but on a side note, i was looking at their timetable, and i have not much of an idea how we are going to do that, but well, i will think of a way.

okay, that's all i can think of at the moment.
i should go look at my SISC stuff that i'm gonna brief the people later about (:
oh, anybody keen to go for the ISSF's cultural night? O: text me or something if you are, cause i'm contemplating the idea!

alright, i'm about to start on my gp homework, which is to write 2 paragraphs based on either question 6 or 7 of the lecture test, or the singapore topic. in any case of whichever option we choose, we still have to write an essay on the other - which is the option that we didn't choose to write the 2 paragraphs with. and.. i really hope, that i don't fall asleep whilst doing the 2 paragraphs. this homework was meant to be done very long ago; infact, i attempted to do it the very day i came home with that homework, which is last friday. note the word "attempted". what happened is that i fell asleep while doing it both on friday and on saturday o_____o ohwells. i think it is really hard to get inspiration to write it, because of the fact that i plainly didn't choose such a topic to answer to during the test.

sigh, okay, here i embark. i think i'll leave random remarks as i make my way through the writing of the wheel and the 2 paragraphs, so as to ensure that i won't fall asleep. (:

oh! and remind me to tell you what happened during youth today later! it sure was hilarious :D

i think writing an essay about how the investment of rich countries in developing countries will bring problems to them is easy to write as a geography essay, but definitely not as a general paper essay ):

it was said by Mahmood Hasan Khan, the professor of economics at simon fraser university that "poverty is not only a state of existence but also a process with many dimensions and complexities." O: apparently poverty isn't as simple as it seems!

and DID YOU KNOW, 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water, and 2.6 billion people lack basic sanitation!

my introductory paragraph has 289 words. is that alot, or just nice?

and my first point is 356 words long. heh.

some excerpts of songs which i heard from the online Christian radio whilst doing my work:

Lord, life becomes more simple, when all I seek is You.

count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done! (:

in the sweet, by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. (this reminds me of Rev Clement's passing away. indeed, it is sad news, but let us rest comfort that we'll see him in heaven one day.)

Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all. He is my strength from day to day, without Him I will fall. (:

yay i'm finally done with my 2 paragraphs of GP. i shall just complete my post then, before heading to do another homework.

today's youth message was on euthanasia. to give you a brief about it, euthanasia actually comes from 2 greek words, eu and thanatos, which means an easy death. i wanted to write the words in greek, but i can't find them on the net, and my dad's already sleeping D: dn lek was the preacher, and i think the message was quite substance filled. the gist of the message was that euthanasia is not biblical, as it is playing God. God is our creator; all of us are made in the image of God, therefore who are we to play God and decide to shorten the person's life. If it's God will for the person to go, He will take the person's life, we are in no way supposed to do the task instead. yeah, the person may be suffering really badly, and it may hurt us to see the person suffering, but that is no excuse for us to take the person's life. furthermore, if God meant this to happen to the person, He will enable the person to go through it, like what He said in His word. you'll never know what God has in mind. He may even use the person to be an encouragement to the many around!

thereafter, it was group time after the meeting. it turned out to be a roller-blading session, whereby those who had blades brought it along. but i'll say that it wasn't an activity that everyone enjoys, so it didn't really turn up that much of a group time. esther and i, as well as joseph, weren't keen on roller-blading cos we had bad memories of it, so we just hung around. esther and i were accompanying simone, who was learning how to skate from ji en. i didn't know that justin was also a roller-blading instructor! O: GASPS. haha anyway, later karen and ross decided to kaypoh our group's activity, and somehow or rather, karen started talking about taking driving (motorbike) lessons. and she turned to ask me if i was going to learn driving, of which i said yes to. in the end, she ended up telling ji en that i was going to take up driving lessons for motorbike too! haha and i was saying how i wanted to take up driving lessons for car, but my mommy was suggesting me to take up lessons for bike instead cause it's more practical. AND JUSTIN AND JI EN WERE SUPER SHOCKED! they were saying that those parents that they didn't expect to allow, ended up allowing their children to go for driving lessons instead! (: and that my mom's super cool. LOL. then they started talking about what bike i should get, of which ji en said that i shouldn't get a vespa cause my daddy has one already. but justin told me this statement which was quite amusing. "eh actually, you don't look like those type who would go and learn driving for motorbike!" and he said it in a really innocent way, so obviously there was so sarcasm involved. HAHAHA DO I LOOK THAT GU NIANG?! maybe i just look too guai (: i think i must have had alot of KIMGEK virtues! lol don't you know that still waters run deep? (8

2009-03-14T00:07:00.005+08:00

okay the NUS Open House is tomorrow!

i was supposed to go with liesel, but guess what! she suddenly realised that there was the ntu open house which is only for 1 day, and she DECIDED TO PANGSEH ME O: horrible horrible liesel.

EEE. and mufeng has econs seminar till 4.45pm, x.x

ross is off for geog field trip,

ken is going with his friend & i don't dare ask him,

samuel and jonah are most probably going to ntu open house,

tessa is going with some guy, o.o

so who else to go with ):

and so i need to think of someone to go with me! not as if i can't go myself, but going with friends is so much better (:

i've thus decided that i will go with yanyao, who's apparently going with her mommy. and i'll meet hung there, after he has his H3 test. ohwells. it's all liesel's fault. UP TILL NOWWWW, she's still unsure whether she's going to nus or ntu. grumps.

hm, i was surfing the web just now, and i realised that the nus open house is not just all about talks. there's this hall where there'll be booths of the various faculties, and another showcasing student activities too! let's see. i'm pretty ambitious, and so, i'm planning to see alot of faculties actually.

mm faculty of arts and social sciences,

faculty of law,

faculty of science,

nus business school,

yongloolin school of medicine & alicelee centre for nursing studies,

and faculty of dentistry.

shhh, not everyone is supposed to hear that. not that i'm kiasu, but i just want to have a wider range of options to choose from, in the case that i can't get into the faculty of my choice. heh. shall see how it goes tomorrow then. i have a gut feeling i'll see alot of my sc friends, so that's YAY! :D

there's also the Christian Family Seminar tomorrow, from 3-7pm, so i guess i'll head for church right after i'm done with my viewing of the stuff at nus :) ahh, there's so many stuff to do, right from the start of holidays, and one entire stack of homework, bio chem maths geog gp. i'm actually kinda glad i'm not going for the geog field trip. because, if you think about it properly, how much time will you have left after you come back? O: goodnessknows. plus SPARKS! i think i'd have become mad if i went for it.

so anyway, they are leaving in like five hours and 22 minutes time, or rather, they have to meet in nj at 6.30am. boo. anyway, have fun everybody, with your poles and oranges! :) and have an AWESOME TINGGGG TIME! i will have fun in good ole singapore (:

His Love.

2009-03-03T01:05:00.004+08:00

His love is warmer than the warmest sunshine,
Softer than a sigh,
His love is deeper than the deepest ocean,
Wider than the sky,
His love is brighter than the brightest star that
Shines every night above,
And there is nothing in this world that can ever
Change His love.

Once I thought that love was meant for everyone else but me,
Once I thought that no one knew the way
Now that only goes to show how wrong we all can be
'Cos now it seems He loves me more each day.

Something happened to my heart the day that I met Him
Something that I never felt before
And that something is that He has buried all my sins,
And everyday I know He loves me more.

was just listening to the recording of this song in my phone, that i recorded the other day during youth. and i kept looping the song, cos somehow or rather, the song was nice, or it was infiltrating in. but indeed, the lyrics are nice. it just serves nothing but a reminder of how great God's love is for us. it is unmeasurable. and to think that "'Cos now it seems He loves me more each day."; it's really heartwarming to be reminded of that (:

in return, what more can we give to Him except our lives, and to emulate His example, to love others just as He did.

O Lord our God, how marvellous are Thy works and Thy ways. It is beyond my understanding and comprehension.

i haven't been blogging anything at my blog at blogspot for sometime, and i decided to return to blogging here once again! these few months, i've been roaming around different blog sites, like xanga and livejournal. albeit, i decided to come back to my dear old blogspot, which explains my presence here.

anyway, in case you're really wondering what's with the perculiar username that you cannot find it anywhere in the dictionary, well, here's how it originated:

this word comes from the film reel, and yes, you can say that it's a word i created myself. it's what i metaphor my life to be, that of a film reel, so there! (:

if you asked me to describe myself, i'd tell you i'm a film reel. different pictures flash by, some, glimpses from an unfinished story, nothing concrete. others, scenes of accomplishment and successes. memories too, of great friendships; friendships that were forged. snapshots of events; everything that's happened so far, both good or bad, also of bonds created that can never be destroyed.
