THANK YOU TO ALL who made my 19th birthday so memorable! :)
Thank you colleagues & bosses for the bday surprise - your presence, the pizzas, party poppers AND EDWIN'S SCOLDING haha. It was the 1st & prolly the best birthday surprise i've ever had. Who would have expected their colleagues & bosses (especially) to celebrate their birthdays? especially when I'm a newbie in the company? I'm really touched. :]
Thank you zarina for your bday prezzie - notebook from Precious Thots. It's v useful.. for MEETINGS!!!
Thank you mama for the sushi treat.
Thank you Jody for the bday cake you've baked for me. You are the first person to bake a bday cake for me. I don't even know how to bake! uh hum :/ (Btw jody is only 9 years old & she's the kid I'm giving tuition to since last december)
Thank you px for agreeing to give me a treat/s. I'm seriously looking forward to it haha. I assume it will be a really generous treat since your total salary is more than mine! haha i'm just kiddin.. i don't mind anything. It's the thought that counts right! :D Anw both of us r super bz w work now so we'll see! :)
Thank you FRIENDSSSSS for your birthday wishes via sms & facebook. Yall made my handphone inbox & facebook account come alive haha.. I'm really glad to receive EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE of your wishes. It meant a lot to me even if it's just 2 words, seriously.
I really appreciate it :D
I realise that I've been blindly celebrating my birthday for the past eighteen years :O (or sometimes i didnt even bother to celebrate it at all..) Today, on my birth day in the year of 2010, I've finally found meaning in celebrating this day, the day I was brought to this world. I'm thankful for that. If not for that, I'll not be able to experience such a wonderful LIFE filled with all sorts of experiences.
I PRAY that: 1) my family & I will be healthy AND that 2) I'll experience greater personal growth so that I'll be able to impact other people's lives!
& last but not least, thank you God.

After watching Michael Jackson's concert on TV, my mama and I were really touched by him and his songs. Some of his songs are very meaningful and I think that touched a lot of people all over the world. It's really a pity that he has left all of us. I never thought I would regard him as my idol, but now I do.
He has so many nice songs, such as Billie Jean, Beat It and Black or White. Heal The World & We Are The World are the more meaningful ones..
Heal The World
We Are The World
Black Or White
Michael Jackson will always live in my heart, and in many people's hearts too.

HAPPY BELATED NATIONAL DAY!
Wonder who's this guy with a pink-and-white ribbon on his head?
...
...
...
...
...
Alright, He's my cousin.
[P.S. Although he looks rather gay with that ribbon, HE'S NOT GAY K! Haha I shall make it clear that he's 101% straight. ]
Yupp, my family went out for a gathering today at Hougang mall. & out of boredom, my younger cousins & I decided to play with his hair haha.
It's been a long while since my relatives and I get together. The gathering was really great to catch up with each other on all the small happenings. How I wish I can have more memorable moments like this these days...
BUT PRELIMS (& THE EXAMS AFTER THAT) ARE COMING!!!
mugmug.

My first day riding to school.
Whee~
Yupp, I got my motorcycle 2B license already, on 16th July. :)
It was really a relief tho! Cos I accumulated 18 demerit points for my Traffic Police Test on that day! Fyi, one cannot accumulate more than 18 demerit points in order to pass the test. So, I WAS REALLY LUCKY! I certainly would not want to go for a re-test and go back to the driving centre for more practices!
But on a side note, I think my effort really paid off. Besides being serious and focused during the motorcycle practical lessons, I used to practise on my mama's bike at my housing estate's carpark sometimes (ooops this is kind of illegal.. but I just rode rounds & rounds in the carpark & it did help to boost my confidence!). Practice makes perfect. Hm.
Anw I remembered after we were told that we passed the test, we had to take a pledge. & it ends with something like this... "We will ride safely and stay alive. " Although it may sound quite funny to some at first, the message brought across is serious. Speeding kills.
Although I'm still an inexperienced rider, I'll try to be as alert as I can at all times on the roads.
I will ride safely and stay alive. I mean it.
Psst, for those who intend to go for a motorcycle 2B license, I could offer you some useful tips!

I received this video from a friend. It is a parody of Wonder Girls' "Nobody" by mrbrown. Haha it's hilarious!
Yay we won in the Inter-school Girls' Water Polo Finals today! :D We scored 4-2 against SAJC. All the trainings and strategising have really paid off:) & I'm also extremely thankful for my strained ligaments, which got better ~1 month before the competition! Thank God:) Haha our team was sooo fun! I'll never forget this wonderful experience:)
Anthea & I @ celebration dinner
Champs! :D
Double champs! :D
Team lunch after training
Love this trophy<3

Today is the celebration of my church's 20th Anniversary @ Singapore Expo. One of the performances showcased was called the Hands Of Love &... I was part of it! We've been rehearsing hard for the past one month or so! It might seem simple & easy, but it really requires quite an amount of arm strength, flexibility of the fingers & PERSEVERANCE. Try holding your hands in the air for a few minutes & you'll understand! Anyway, our performance was based on the very meaningful song called We Were The Reason. Although the images shown were mostly repetitive, but hope that you'll enjoy it 'cos we really put in a lot of effort in practising and synchronising our actions! Take note of the lyrics!
Here's a video of our performance: (I'm 3rd from your left in the 2nd row)
Yup JESUS LOVES YOU! <3
Btw, here's a video of the trip that the OSL juniors went last year. The trip was in partnership with Nguyen Tri Phuong Junior High School (NTP), Hue, Vietnam from 13/3/2008 to 21/3/2008.
...& the SGS Service Learning trip to Sok Ann High School, Takeo Province, Cambodia. November 30 to December 14, 2008. Hm apparently the SGS team went to the same place (Sok Ann High School) as the RGS OSL team.. The High School's basketball court finally has a flat cemented ground for their basketball court, which was previously covered by grass patches when my batch went there in 2007! Those in lime green shirts are the OSL juniors!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!
TODAY is the day I've always been looking forward to every year!
Go to this link and listen to the "Christmas Ain't Christmas Anymore" song: http://ymiblogging.org/the-joy-of-christmas/the-joy-of-christmas-gallery/ I think it's a nice song and it tells about the real significance of celebrating Christmas! Christmas is not just a special day to receive and give gifts, but most importantly, it is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Saviour! :)
Here are a few photos I've taken recently:
Me wearing a x'mas hat (x'mas prezzie from my mum).
I came across this CocaCola pyramid @ Orchard Road last week & thought it was quite cool.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS! <3
Here's a touching video showing that Jesus was born to die for us. Everything in the video was taken from the movie: Passion Of The Christ. Watch the whole movie if you have the chance!
[NOTE: The sight of Jesus dying on the cross is quite bloody.]
Thank you Jesus for all that you've done for us. As we're celebrating Christmas, let us not forget that Jesus is the reason for this season. Jesus is the greatest gift to all of us!
GOD BLESS!

I'M BACK IN SINGAPORE !
Like the previous Service Learning trips I've had before, two weeks have passed in a blink of eye. Sigh I MISS LIJIANG VERY MUCH and the memorable times spent with my team members! The food, mountains, cold weather, everything! I think all ISLE China team members are suffering from post-trip withdrawal symptoms now.. :(
I MISS ALL MY LIJIANG FRIENDS TOO!! - lin ping, lin qiang, zheng xiang, zhang mei, xue min, xiao pang, si qiang, sam, zhao yong, blue, penrose and many many others!
I thought my last day (during R&R period) in Lijiang was the most memorable time I've ever had with my Lijiang friends because we went to climb the elephant mountain together! The feeling was just GREAT sitting on the ROOFTOP of the pavilion at the peak of the mountain! I could see the top view of Lijiang city and that was really amazing. :D THANKS to those Lijiang friends who came specially to accompany Yinqi and I to climb the mountain. I really appreciate it a lot. :)
I will definitely go back to Lijiang again in future when I grow up. It is a very beautiful place indeed, filled with many wonderful memories..
Here are some pictures taken during our trip:
Kat & I @ Chengdu's Sim's Cosy lodge :)
Ahhh so squeezy!!!
Si Jia & I in our 宾馆 - the only 2 ex-OSL members in our ISLE team! :)
Ying Ching, Chels, Nicole, Me, Sara, Xiao Bai & Jie Ying as facilitators of Year 1 Class 1
Madhu, me, Ms Hor and Sara @ Changi Airport before we left for Lijiang:)
Anyway, here's an update on America's Next Top Model Cycle 11. The winner of the competition is... McKey!!! I think she really has what it takes to be an outstanding model. Not only does she has the body of a model and pretty, outstanding facial features, she has a good personality as well! On the other hand, I feel that Analeigh and Marjorie, who both got into the final four, have also what it takes to be a model.
Here're a few of McKey's photos taken during the competition:
At her last photoshoot for a CoverGirl commercial.
At the photoshoot in Episode 3.
