is currently an undergraduate student, and coping with her overwhelming commitments. I like long walks in solitude, cosy chats, usually sleep like a log, and beg your patience in tolerating my versatile humour

Amazingly this has got to be one of those really euphoric moments in my lifetime - I rarely feel happy so this is like striking Toto. I guess it's really God's work at play here, and CG today really got me thinking about Faith and Prayer. Okay, so I guess I'm not really a holymoley person even though people seemed to think like that - cos of CA and saying grace and the youth group. So I can't really say that I have an active Prayer life. Maybe I had one, or I used to have one, but I know now that I definitely don't. They say Prayer is a relationship with God, so by that logic, I wouldn't have one with Him right now. Right? Left! I don't think so le. I may not Pray, but I do see God in many situations today even in school. God doesn't have to manifest His presence in flamboyant tadaa moments. In fact for me He likes to touch my life in the forms of Angels in Disguise (Fuel credit) - when I was stuck on my essays, or when I need a break from all the hulabaloo. It's simply quite amazing how coincidental things can be, whenever I feel so tired that I need a timeout, that my tutoring is magically rescheduled. Or like how today during CG I kept fantazing about food HAHA sorry super duper hungry, and guess what? We had a mini international spread of delightful mooncakes, indian sweets, black sesame pie, sticky rice crackers and bubble gum lollipop! (: I was so happy just looking at all the food I gave thanks to God. Then as I was waiting for the shuttle home, Mr Foo so coincidentally called so talktalktalk the entire ride home! It was just a good day I feel, those days when everything just falls into place no matter how rough it was at first, and you feel so grateful you want to sing and shout praise.
I guess that means even though I lack in Prayer, I still have Faith. They said P should be a platform on which F can be furthered. But if you keep praying without any faith, then no point in that also right? But okay la, also quite bad if you keep having all the Faith you have, but you don't credit it with Prayer. Also I don't think Prayer should be all about Requests but also Thanksgiving. After having my share of major crisis last year, I think I should be grateful for it because it put so much of perspective in my life and made me see the same old things with new eyes. So to think that everything happens for a reason, is also Faith in itself. And to say Prayers believing in them? Faith too.
I'm so spiritually high right now I could just neglect my readings for tomorrow, in fact I don't even feel anxious about anything right now because I've placed all my worries now in Him.
Let go, Let God.

My friends, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure. Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all. But when you pray, you must believe and not a doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind. If you are like that, unable to make up your mind and undecided in all you do, you must not think that you will receive anything from the Lord.

There's really not much to update right now, contrary to popular belief recess week isn't exactly a yaygome break but more so a breather to catch up on work and finish up the damn assignments. Procrastination is driving me crazy, I gotta have more resolve when it comes to discipline, it's freaking Thursday and I'm Mode Unproductive 101 Good Gosh Help Me. The week has been so-so lor, time passes by really fast when you want it to slow down.
Public holiday was really good catchup time, first virgin experience at Ben&Jerry's haha shoot me I know right I have a 2 year lag compared to others. Good to catch up with the Scribes and Besty, then tutored before reaching home.
Seren's farewell was a melancholic affair; alot of memories of our IJ and JC PW/seating partner days - the airport is really an emo place nowadays, way too many people leaving. Makes you wonder whether they'd be a part of your life ever again :/
Visited the dear old junior college (: Sigh, I really know I shouldn't dwell on the past too much but gosh how I miss my dear CJC. Wearing the pale blue uniform, sitting at canteen benches (must always be high high), talking to bookshop aunty, charming the librarian... the memories feel so faded and distant now. Sigh, even the fish soup today turned out different and the lady isn't there ): instead, replacement of this super efficient lady haha. Talking to the teachers was good - Mr Tan, Ms Yang, Mrs Leong. I wish I could grow younger!
I am particularly emo this week, gah Joel must have passed me his melon coli. I dropped a CCA in the end ): Oh yes, tribute to all the wonderful people who helped me with PS when I nearly gave up hope. Thankew(:


Just to recap, this week has been a pretty stressful one, what with my screwing up of my EN and PS test, I can't believe I actually know how to do it, but just strayed away and talked rubbish oh my gah what the pong. It's been quite a breezy time in the evenings, because I dropped one kid! (: Not literally haha, but at least now I have more time to do work. But it's so strange because I'M NOT USED TO COMING BACK SO EARLY HAHA. I went for my first CG this week so proud of myself! The company was not bad, and I made a new senior friend who invited me for Holy Spirit bible study.

I am also grateful for having such a wonderful OG like Romeo/Reggae, who never fail to brighten up my day with their presence (: Yes I don't get to see them pretty often, obscure modules have that effect - but I heart going for lectures with them, or eating lunch, or doing my EL homework at the benches after hastily asking all the Monday tutorial people.

Friday was a pretty good day for me, albeit missing Fuel :/ I felt a bit cheated because I rushed through The Bluest Eye and turned out my classmates aren't even done aiyo. I also know what to do for SE report (: And EL presentation was good good. And serene during Malay was super the hilarious, check FB for status update lol. I went for my first ever concert at the Esplanade! We got the best seats yeah man, and it was Mahler's Ressurection divided into 4 movements, without intermission. The sopranoes were really good, but you know how a symphony makes you experience all sorts of emotions within that 80 minute performance so we came out feeling confused haha. Then walked along the River and saw the night street circuit which was SO AWESOME. And dinnered along the Quay before heading home.

Recess week is here! (: I'm sort of relived I'm done with half my exams, but also need to get down to completing all the others as well. I have plans plans plans, the days are slowly being taken up with sweet meet ups (: Joce is a happy girl.
Until next time!

Saturday flew past really fast, I am rather annoyed because next week is a super mentally draining week with:
Lit Test
PS Test
Draft for SE
EL Presentation

Am I screwed or am I screwed. GG.com to the max please! ): Malay test was epic fail, nothing I studied came out. And basically I wasted my Friday and Saturday, albeit the good time I had today though.
Slept in and woke up just in time to meet small girl, beauty queen and finding nemo for lunch at Hooters lol. Second time we are going there, for the food only mind you. Not as filling this time, partly cos I stayed away from the carbs and drank too much iced tea. Then we yakked and amused ourselves with small girl's dramatic stories and beauty queen's fits of giggles (jokes that only she understands) before we walked around aimlessly at Central
Evening was spent at Seren's place, met up with Becks first and stuffed myself silly with beautiful FOOD and playing with her dog and tinkling the ivories with my rusty fingers lol. Had a lift home.

Shit, this means that I gotta study everything Sunday. NUS workload, you are like an uninvited guest, always overstaying and never taking any hint. Sigh.

Public transport is super unreliable. I swear there used to be a shuttle at 930 and now it's only arriving at 940 = just in time for lecture no-o-o ): This means I gotta leave my house even earlier. Bah, would some nice kind soul who lives in the North decide to carpool?
Today I was in the spirit of Adventure, if I may borrow the quote - exceptionally jumpy and excited during PS, even though I found today was even slower than ever. I am aware most of my entries revolve around meetups and goingouts, but you do understand dear reader that Joce here hardly gets out much, so she makes the most of it. Met Clare today and we crashed Cherie's place! (: We woke the poor girl up haha, but I'm really inspired to apply for hall next sem - apart from the temptation to oversleep and late night suppers, it seems like an exciting experience. Then we had random conversations about animations and were introduced to Fishball and Nugget HA. Fishsouped for lunch which was horribly garlicky vampires will hate us to death. Then went to watch UP yes yes super the late I know, but timings for the Proposal was only in the evenings bahhh. Walked about town alot, I think the last time I walked the entire stretch was during Fripps' surprise brought back some memories about our failed romantic htht haha. I need to get a wardrobe ohno crisis running out of things to wear already. Sometimes I wish I were a boy, at least sloppiness isn't frowned upon that much, and I would always look good in a nice shirt and berms (of course, broad shoulders and nice arms being a prerequisite and it can pull off any look!). Sigh, sadly as a girl, I am thus burdened with the pain of being creative and nor recycling clothes too often.
On a separate note, I used to think I was quite a strange girl because I think I am rather detached from alot of mainstream things, you could say I'm an odd offbeat because I have not much interest in movies/pop culture/outings/music and thus run out of things to say to friends. But today I learnt that eheh it is used as a form of distraction for the proletariat :O Which means that we have a false sense of reality because we are blocking out what we don't want to know. Scary how true this is!However I think I am lately consumeristic so shucks, I'm not helping myself lol.
On a separate separate note, I was completely annoyed by two incidents:
1) Person who hogged the search engine at the library for like almost 30 minutes while I was standing behind her, even though I was making it VERY OBVIOUS that I was waiting for her. In the end, I got so fed up I tapped her and said I only needed to browse for ONE book and may I use it please tyvm. Personally I was quite amazed/surprised that I actually had enough guts to do that, normally I would have just walked off in a huff. I guess this shows that I'm no longer bottling up things like I used to.
2) Person who does not do homework at all! >:( and at the way things are going, might be ending up as project/group mates oh no oh no. It's not as though person iscompletely lost, I clearly remember how person went around to confirm with everybody else how they knew of the work, and then the next week, lo and behold, didn't do nothing and clamoured to scribble all the answers during discussions. Hmph! Not that I should be overly concerned since it's a personal choice, but honestly, pay attention to your work than your clothes can!

Shucks, I have a Malay test tomorrow and I should not even be online just felt a need to rant and as always blogger satisfies. Hope I don't screw up! Time is flying oh my Friday come quick! (:

So, I'm not exactly the best time management girl around, and my jammed packed weeks haven't been helping either. In the blink of an eye, Monday and Tuesday disappeared even though I left them right, over, here! ): Hectichectic, tutorials + lectures + tutoring and then today it was ushering + frisbee = GG.com
I need to watch my spending. Blew half my pay on a cab ride today omg, all in the name of printing my notes before lecture. Thank goodness there was enough $ left in the card. Uncle was pretty amusing though, he had alot to say and I didn't even trigger anything in the first place, so I was all "hmms" and "yaya" and "aiyo". It would have been mega ironic if I had turned up late (according to a friend, I'm apparently always late not true k) seeing as how I was in school half an hour earlier already.
Travelling is the bane of my existence. Seriously. It's such a major waste of my time omg, I read almost half of the bluest eye on the 151 which CRAWLS to school irritated ttm!


What I really want to do right now, is to get a bicycle and go night cycling around the whole of my estate. Alone, or with a trusty friend. And right smack in the middle of the PIE. How fun aye.

Readings await. Ciao to you Tuesday, that was gone like the wind.

I am feeling refreshed after my much needed sleep-in and a good IndianIndian lunch! (: Fridays are particularly the most exhuasting days of the week, but also the most fufilling yay. Honestly I thought I was going to be mega screwed for Friday's homework dues, seeing as how I got home pretty late from church meet. Well apart fromt the fact that I was late again for Lit, Eng presentation wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Friday tutorials are fun, unlike overwhelming PS and idkwhatimdoing SE haha.
I also had a mini adventure getting almost lost around campus with Marie. Goes to show how well informed we are about shuttles HA. I am so going to get a directory embedded in my brain just so I can save wasted time travellingling. On the bright side, I explored Kent Vale and Engin, and also the Biz library and the shortcut to Arts. A bit disappointed at third failed attempt at BDD, maybe I should consider saving lives in another way instead- but at least I peer pressured two others to donate so I saved 6 lives technically smug face.
Finally fuelled after an absence of a month and totally happy that Nic could join us for the session - even though, admittedly it was more for the confirmants. Totally exhuasted though.
Friday started off on an unexpectedly good note that leaves me grinning, I like chance encounters alotlot.

Oh! I cleared the interview to be a student usher now yay yay. On the downside, I sort of have 3 CCAs now so I gotta make some decisions quick. Workload is actually maneagable IF there's consistency, let's hope I maintain the way things are now ohmygah. I miss the OG people though, my obscure modules deny me much contact time sadded.

I feel very alive (:
