Princess Checklist
Tonight i dream..
nO more Uncle RaymOnd!
Really really thank God for His blessing in this. The tester was so kind to me, was quite steady in the circuit and all until i reached a junction at Teck Wye, should have waited until the 2 predestrians cross finish than i turn, dunno wat got into me, ended up stopping right in front of them and block the on coming road fortunately no cars at that moment. My tester went" Oh Oh..." and i was like 'shit....'
Scenario 1: Arranging for 1st lesson over the phone.
U.R: Raymond here ah, driving instructor, raymond. Listen ah, very important. First lesson bring ic, pdl, $150. 3rd June, 9 to 11 am. 2 hours. Remember ah, ic, pdl, $150. 3rd June, 9 to 11 am. Ok, so see you on 3rd June, don’t forget 3rd June 9 to 11. 不要忘记啊. Bye bye. (Click)
Me: …
Scenario 2: Me asking him about safety checks for the test.
U.R: "你觉得很好笑 hor，做这些 cartoon cartoon 的东西就可以 pass 咯。。。"
*You feel very funny hor, but do all these cartoon cartoon things sure can pass lor...*
Me: …
Scenario 3: Backing into Directional parking (this one quite power).
Me: "Need to keep looking behind ah? "
U.R: "Now u doctor (ref to my phd) right? Next time u stay big big house. wait one day u drive in ah, ur children run out “mummy mummy!” u never look behind. PONG! No more children. How many children u have oso not enough lo..”

U.R: "你要闯死那个小女孩阿!"
*You want to kill the little girl ah!*

Scenario 7: 2 way lane, traffic light ahead. All cars proceed to stop. Poor space judgement on my part, squeeze ahead, not enough space, stop right over a hump.
U.R: (turns head and stares with beady eyes) “十分” *10 points*
(turns away)
Me: …
Scenario 8: I pointed out that a lot of drivers on the road were not signaling before changing lanes.
U.R: 你现在只是learner, learner是下等人， 什么都不可以乱乱来。上等人要做什么就做什么，不用看别人脸色咯。
*Now you only learner, learner is low class people, everything also cannot do. High class people can do whatever they want lor.*
Me:??...
Scenario 9: Uncle Raymond teaching clutch control, demonstrating how slow the car should go in the circuit.
U.R: “有没有看到那个bird bird? (points to a nearby birdie hopping on the road) 要像它一样慢慢的hor. 慢慢一点，一点。。。

Me: "... Bye Bye!"
Funny guy right... If you fancy some laughs whilst driving, you can surely look for him..
Distance
Wiki defines Distance as" a numerical description of how far apart objects are at any given moment in time. In physics or everyday discussion, distance may refer to a physical length, a period of time, or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over")..."
Can it be real than? That You are so near but yet so far...
Why i want my own doggie
Why I want my own doggie...
Clutter
The clutter in my life, the clutter in my mind, the clutter in my heart.
I think i get ahead of myself too much lately. I want to do things fast. My way.
So i get impatient and worry excessively. And often say things that hurt the people i love, I think, when i'm this way, i hurt God too. I forget to let Him take control, i neglect His soft gentle voice, i ignore His guidance and will for my life. Father, forgive me, i need to meet you at calvary again... Remind me, that I cannot live without You.
Decluttering 101:
Declutter my life (Things I must absolutely do)
1. Confirmation report by 23rd April (Sigh)
2. Prepare for Qualifiers (Double sigh)
3. Get Driving License on 26th April (no more uncle raymond)
4. Start packing for new house (pui, i hate packing)
Declutter my mind (Things I can do)
1. Work out regularly
2. Take a walk with God (my all time favorite)
3. Hang out with friends i can be completely myself with
Declutter my heart (Find a time for stillness everyday)
1. Smell the smell of fresh grass in the morning; it always perks me up
2. Feel a gentle breeze brushing on my face; it reminds me of God's tangible presence
3. Lounge in my deckchair and watch the stars when everyone's asleep; it quietens me and makes me feel special, like the sky was lited just for me
4. Watch "My Best Friend's Wedding" for the millionth time; it always triggers the romantic in me
Things I would like to do for no reason at all
1. Dance under the moonlight to "The way you look tonight"; not the Buble version. The Frank Sinatra one. That's the way i imagined it.
2. Walk a dog; no one around me wants to let me have my own doggie...
3. Make creme brule; a French dessert that's simply magical
4. Rock climb; I like a physical challenge
5. Tae Kwon Do/Kendo; I always wanted to learn how to fight, very unprincessy i know.
Wah.. so many things to do, getting right to it than.
Gloria, outs.
Moments
A smile that's thrown your way,
A hug that's close at bay,
A love that never strays,
How long then will they stay...
The smile that's far from gay,
The hug that's miles away,
The love that fades at the end of the day,
Its all a dream, its what i would say...

Here's to a fresh new year ahead! Time to make some new year resolutions:
1. Healthy lifestyle 101- Exercise regularly and keep fit!
2. Pass confirmation exam
3. Attend MRS conference in San Fran cum April
4. 2 publications
5. Prayer walk in the office
6. Prayer walk once a week around ZOUK (*youk youk* me and michelle have a pact to pray that God will close down ZOUK this year in the most dramatic way ever. Even better if they build a YMCA there after it's shut down. Join me in praying for what may be the greatest testimony yet!)
7. 5 salvations!
8. See God raise up the NTU cell and our ministry
9. Be more supportive for Chris and see our relationship grow stronger
10. Spend more time with my family
Perfect 10! May this year be a fantastic one for all of us :)
Happy Birthday!!!
Yikes, i just turned 24. The realization of that has officially hit in. Actually, i'm taking it pretty well, cos i don't exactly feel my age. I suppose we age in thoughts, and responsiblities. But inside, we remain the same- i'm still the child i was years ago. I still cherish the same things, family, friends, passion in living life. A friend mentioned that december babies are romantics at heart. I cannot agree more on that. So, happy birthday to all december lovefools!
Me and dear have the exact birthdate! This year, we celebrated at the JEWELBOX atop Mt Faber. Dinner was great, and the view was fantastic. To top it off, there was snow! (achm, artificial foam no less, but hey, wat to expect... close enough la) Than we took the cable car, which chris has not been on for at least a decade :p Its quite creepy riding in it at night le, but that was alright. Thanks for the lovely night sweetie!
Put everything in the Lord's hand, and eventually you will see the Lord's hand in everything.
MEN
Alrighty, i was told by my near-perfect boyfriend to post more of my thoughts and feelings here. After excluding out all thoughts related to science (and more science), (still science...), who am i kidding! i'm not THAT dorky! Anyways, i came across an interesting article, and i'd like to dedicate the following post, to my dearest darling, Chris. And, can i say, that i do believe you fall under the "CONFIDENT" category of Singaporean men. But they forgot "PRAGMATIC" and "CYNICAL"...
Smarter, richer – but not taller, please
TODAY, WEDNESDAY, DEC 06, 2006
WOMEN can be more educated 
and wealthier than their partners,
but preferably not taller.
This was one of the findings
in a survey of about 800 men between
25 and 59 years old, by
Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of
Business and Accountancy.
It found that 34 per cent of
the men had no reservations
about marrying a woman who
was better educated, earned
more, or came from a wealthier
family.
But if the woman was taller
than them, this percentage
dropped to 22 per cent.
And when it comes to the
trickiest dating question of all —
who makes the first move — six
in 10 men said it’s up to them, as
is footing the bill.
The survey also offered other
insights into the male psyche, including
some double standards.
For instance, half the men would
not marry a woman who smoked,
yet 28 per cent of the men surveyed
were regular smokers.
Twelve per cent of men found
it “forgivable” if a husband has an
affair, compared to only 8 per
cent who were willing to forgive
a wife who strays.
Twenty-one per cent said they
would not marry someone who is
not a virgin, but 31 per cent said
they were “okay” with pre-marital
sex.
Another interesting finding:
19 per cent would pay for sex,
and another 31 per cent were
agreeable to using sex toys to
enhance their sexual relationships.
The survey classified men
by their values and attitudes,
grouping men into four types —
Liberals, Chauvinists, the Confident,
and the Anxious (see box).
Said lead researcher Henry
Koh: “Most studies in the past
looked at the population as a
whole. This time we are going
for a holistic view of men’s values,
lifestyle and activities.”
The survey is the seventh
such annual survey on various
consumer groups by the polytechnic.
Oh! and i do think you are taller than me by a tad...
Well.. that should work out fine than..

What I Want From You
to be friendly, open and enthusiastic, you want to know who I am, your actions follow your words, openness and honesty, acceptance, praise
Understanding your personality can help you find out what makes you tick. Itaccomplishes 3 things:
1. Recognizing the implications of our identity in Christ and His life in us in the context of personality,
2. Recognizing that personality analysis is not putting someone in a box, but rather helping them to fully mature and grow in their personality identity, and
3. Distinguishing personality from flesh (personality is God designed and flesh is an orchestration of Satan and personal self-effort).
I guess there's alot of flesh that God wants to bring my attention to. I just thank Him that He cares enough for me to discipline me.

Hmmmm.... O well, maybe.
Colourgenics: my profile
You have a vivid imagination and this is good. Great inventors, explorers all had inventive, imaginative minds. Your friends and acquaintances may consider you over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. So what ? this is a part of your character and charm.You are lazy - you dream of a peaceful, calm, uncluttered and uncomplicated life. Your ideal would be to share a permanent base with some person or persons who would be able to demonstrate on-going love, peace and security.Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!
