spanglesplat's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time to say goodbye. I've MOVED! I dont know why I moved, but I've moved. HAHA. I got converted by wendaye. Hmm and I dont know, I still might use this one, cos Im quite attached to it, but I just wanted to try something new! Anyway most of my entries will PROBABLY be on FRIENDS ONLY entry, so if you really love reading all my entries that much then I guess you'll have to signup for a lj.. AHURHUR (: Nah my life isn't that interesting! See you over the other side! Haha (: 20:57 - 03.04.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ! and JUDITH! and MEIXI! AND ROX! AND JULIUS! AND ZHAO! AND WEIYING! ohmy thats four days worth of birthday wishes. haha (: today liz told me that her younger brother in j1 told her that J1S (OR MAYBE THE WHOLE SCHOOL BY NOW) HAVE BEEN USING MY LOGIN ACCOUNT FOR SCHOOL COMPUTERS. hahahaha i think its absolutely hilarious! and extremely amusing. now everyone knows my IC number :O haha. so thursdays devotions went okay. the school looks really dead from the stage though. such a contrast from before and after assembly! yay and thanks to all the people who encouraged me after that (: meant alot. mm i was choosing btw sharing about thanksgiving and choosing love - both so so important and something i want to share with my friends. but in the end i chose to talk abt thanksgiving, especially cos of term exam results. results. sigh :( ;
I was sure by now
I lift my eyes unto the hills
22:38 - 31.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lets write an ending that fits. today during lit s class, mr woolhead told us that his son's new favourite word is "RANDOM." and we all just burst out laughing, exchanging amused and knowing looks! hahaha that boy belongs to ac. :D ; results are returning to us, slowly. im apprehensive and i dont know what to think if im asked to drop lit s. i dont really know what i'm aiming for now; i've more or less stopped entertaining any thought of a scholarship - i just wana get into NUS and pursue my dream of making the world a better place. sounds so simple huh? the in betweens are just going to kill me :( i dont know what to feel now, when i get back my results. the only worry i actually honestly have, is breaking the news to my parents. i've always wished deep inside that i had some really wonderful news to tell them, so that i can make them proud. ;
someday i'll fly trust&obey. 20:55 - 28.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you're my miracle drug. i need to once again learn how to take one day at a time, and focus on the blessings of today. when i think and worry about tomorrow or the future, i take away the blessings that God has prepared for me today. deep breaths. maybe deep inside im quite a scaredy cat after all. one day at a time. ; yesterday i got my younger bro to pick the lock to my drawer, that had been locked for really long cos i lost the key! haha and inside was all of my diaries/prayer journals or letters that i'd kept since primary four. amazing. my primary school records were just full of nonsense haha its amazing how uber childish i was last time. i started prayer journalling from about end of sec1 i think, till about now. wow. i was kinda shocked at how i managed to sort of chart my entire teenage years in all that ink and paper. i guess these are the things that i would never let anyone else read - the things that i would say only to God; and therefore makes all the contents super personal. re reading and browsing through all of them brought back so so much. it was almost as if i was reliving my sec2, sec3 days again. it really reminded me of things and events that i had clearly forgotten. but reminding me of them sorta unclasped the jar of my memories that was sealed on so tightly, and let things flow. and by the end of it when i read the last few entries, i felt a clutch at my heart. i felt the surge and the grip inside. then i took up a pen and starting writing.
20:29 - 27.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nobody said it was easy. so i finally managed to catch V for Vendetta today! with my mom! haha spending wayy too much family time these few days - the whole day on saturday and today as well. mm but as nat says, parents are good for health! and yes ok i believe him. i do i do (: V was a really, well, shocking show! i think most of the show i had my hand over my mouth to like cover my ARHS! and OHMYS! and EGARDS! haha. but it definitely lived up to my expectations after hearing everyone go mad over the show. natalie portman is good stuff. and so is the voice of hugo weaving! sexy. haha i think fish can replace him next time. hurhur (: ; and because nat reminded me and i forgot - here's the really good sermon that happened last week! please take some time and effort to read it, cos i think it will make you and me better people (: no one's perfect, but we can all try. i'm very certain that God recognizes efforts over results. Call To Love Humanity flourishes in love, and God has called us to love. The first greatest commandment was to Love God, and the second, to Love Your Neighbour. God wants us to set an example for people, so that we, as Christians, can be different for Him. "Love one another, as I have loved you; by this will all men know that you are my disciples."
Love seperates us from the world. What to Avoid if we want to love better?
01. Judging/ Labelling
02. Hypocrisy/Lack of Sincerity "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them." What to Do Well to love others better?
01. Encourage In the final analysis, love is sacrifical. in order to love those who are unlovable, the only way is to humble yourself, never consider ourselves better than others.
"Christ made Himself nothing, Self centredness is without a doubt at the core of our being. But we have a choice.
Love is sacrificial action. I will not give God what costs me nothing. 22:10 - 27.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hello beautiful stranger. the most wonderful feeling in the world, take care you. 21:54 - 26.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love is a many splendoured thing
Love is nature's way of giving
Then your fingers touched my silent
heart
Once on a high and windy hill
18:39 - 25.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
here are some pictures from my birthday awhile ago! just got them from cheryl. and i like cheryls camera cos everyone looks very good in all the pictures. HURHUR (:
![]() every nanyang girl a respectable member of society (: 17:14 - 25.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

01. What do you think of me, iTunes?
02. Will I have a happy life?
03. What do my friends really think of me?
04. Do people secretly lust after me?
05. How can I make myself happy?
06. What should I do with my life?
07. Why must life be so full of pain?
08. Will I ever have children?
09. Will I die happy?
10. Can you give me some advice? wah. although this totally doesnt make sense, the answers are really interesting!! hahahahaha and im highly highly amused (: 22:50 - 25.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- forever young. went for a short swim today after school at temasek club. new way of therapy. cos it was a weekday so there wasnt anyone in the pool so i had THE WHOLE THING TO MYSELF :D haha and my dad was reading newspaper. so i just swam by myself, a relaxing 20 laps. and while i was swimming laps, i was just thinking about stuff in my head, and sorta like talking to God at the same time. it felt real good at the end (: i think i shall do this more often. ; i think im turning into a material girl because i keep having this craving to go shopping! which i know, is bad. whenever i ask my mom if we can go out to shop, then she's like what for? do you need anything.. then im like uh. no. DANG. haha. oh well. the woes of being a kid with no income. one day, some day! haha. mm and ive been pondering alot about post-A activities as well. how absolutely EXCITING. i believe it will be one of the most exciting times of my life - even more exciting than post-Os! but then i realise that in between theres alot of shizzer going on :( A levels, A levels. SIGH. ; one of the random thoughts i had while swimming today was how time passes so fast. its really shocking. and how when time has passed, you look back on it and realised that not alot of time has passed after all. until you realise the sequence of events and how much you've grown up - how much everyone has grown up. i dont know if you know what i mean, but i guess it just struck me as amazingly typical of LIFE. the unpredictable nature of it. and then i guess it emphasized how much lack of control (at all whatsoever) we have over our own lives. God is above it all. mm but reminiscing about the past really does things to you. i remember totally random events from the past; such as when there was once in primary school assembly that yunzhi told me the 'what sport doesnt make you sweat?' riddle and i thought the answer was INGENIOUSLY brilliant. (the ans was swimming btw, and obviously to my childlike brain then i didnt realise that the sweat actually went into the pool) mm all these strange things. haha. i've glad i've had so many good experiences through my life though. and so many good friends to see me through it. i guess after all, it is the company and the memories that will bring you through and that that you will look back on and smile. and wish you were back there again, right back at that moment, to relive every second of it. as much as i hate hate hate to acknowledge it, acjc is going to end soon. i dont think ive ever felt so much sadness about leaving a school - ever. and somehow, somehow i just know that when i graduate, i'll be one of the ex students that will keep coming back to school; as if never wanting or never having to graduate, and wishing to stay entrapped in the walls of the school forever, hoping that time had stood still during these perfect years, only to know deep down inside that things have to move on.
if i had the choice but the spirit remains. 20:25 - 24.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i cant take the distance. i cant seem to find my camera wire which means that i cant upload pictures! :( which i have not done in awhile. i realised the dilemma of a camera phone is that now you dont know which one to use to take pictures, since your hp is usually the one thats at your fingertips. and soon when my mom gets the connecting wire, i'll be able to upload my camera pics into the com! :O and my old camera might (gasp!) become obsolete. oh dear :( term exams are over. surprisingly the old sense of freedom and gallavanting and prancing around happily has yet to overwhelm me since the moment the econs paper ended. i think its because its A LEVEL YEAR, and A's are approaching surely and steadily - and although its still a distance away, its always at the back of your mind. if today i had sat down to study, i wouldnt have found it crazy at all. maybe studying is slowly gona become a way of life. HEAVEN FORBID. gah. but anyway, yesterday the NON-MATH people went out after econs paper. chek, thng, miche, ethel & abel. yay. we watched yours mine ours, which was a superly funny show! it was hilarious we were like the only ones in the huge cinema and we were just laughing like crazy. and it was touching too, i actually nearly cried at the cliche ending. ahurhur :D before the show started we watched the trailer for mad hot ballroom dancing - and decided we were gona watch that too. HAHA so an hour after the first movie ended we watched another movie! it was sorta like a documentary but it was SO cool watching the young kids dance. and wilson! with super pretty eyes. hearts <3 after that we bummed around at borders looking at SUPER PRETTY STATIONARY and music. ohdear everytime i go to borders i sorta go mad cos paperchase is so pretty but i dunch have money :( :( SADNESS. oh well we all want alot of thing in life. boo. ; school's starting again tmr! havent had proper school for almost two whole weeks now, i think im beginning to miss it. i love assembly! and i love our balcony seat, NOT because we can sleep, haha but because it has a really good view of the rest of the school (: yay. and im looking forward to monday chapel nxt week too. i miss chapel. ; had a long overseas phone conversation with my second brother today! (: (: haha its nice talking to him and being retarded and just catching up. im quite jealous cos hes gona get to fly to many places with his friends and do fun stuff. and also cos he has money to buy stuff that he wants. haha but i like talking to my brother. even though he's a million miles away and we're in two teeny weeny seperate parts of the world; its amazing how talking on the phone connects you in that few hours. thank God for technology! :D anyway my bro's gona be coming back in may. yay thats something to look forward to! ; mm i suddenly miss denzyl. i feel like calling him out to meet downstairs and then sit on the steps and talk. but he's a million miles away too! OH SIGH. ; there are too many people that mean alot to me that are far away right now :( maybe not all of them are overseas, but far away all the same. ;
i still believe in feelings i wish that i could carry your smile in my heart. 19:24 - 23.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- every beautiful thing. ![]()
What a beautiful dream At least while it can last. our walk. 00:20 - 24.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i miss somebody right now. 21:55 - 22.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
love is what makes you smile when you're tired (: 21:51 - 22.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oh lets go back to the start. Come up to meet you
I had to find you
Tell me your secrets
Nobody said it was easy
I was just guessing
Questions of science
Tell me you love me ; mm classic classic.
studying today. tash bev thng. orange and green. chicken FAN-TASTIC. ooooorrrrrrrr-chard. venezia <3 simply bread. talking. studying. history tmr, econs the day after. its times like these that you feel like running away to somewhere where things that actually matter, matter. i had alot of things to blog about, they're all swimming around in my head somewhere, lost amidst nuclear arms treaties and decolonization processes and bonds and interest rates; i do hope i remember them after the exams end cos i know they are important. one was the sermon on sunday. ; you win some, you lose some. it was a bad march holidays because of the looming term exams and the studying we had to do, alongside SIMUN (which really wasnt such a bad thing actually), and the fact that the holiday wasnt a holiday at all. but on the flipside it was good and i never wanted it to end. somewhat surreal, somewhat hard to grasp, somewhat elusive. but then you really were there. and you'd never know, you were the reason why i was awfully cheerful. (: 19:43 - 21.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work hard whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is unconceivable that you should have it part. Because this is what love is... Love is not breathless; it is not excitement; it is not a desire to make every second of the day, lying awake at night, imagining he is kissing every part of our body. That is just being in love which any of us can commit in. Love itself is what is left over when being in love is burned away. ; In the friendship which I am talking about, souls are mingled and confounded in so universal a blending that they efface the seam which joins them together so that it cannot be found. If you press me to say why I love him, I feel that it cannot be expressed except by replying, "Because it was him; because it was me." Meditating this union, there was - beyond all reasoning, beyond all that I can say specifically about it, some inexplicable force of destiny. ; A true understanding and humble estimate of oneself is the highest and most valuable of all lessons. To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection. Should you see another person openly doing evil, or carrying out a wicked purpose, do not on that account consider yourself better than him. For you cannot tell how long you will remain in a state of grace. We are all frail. Consider none more frail than yourself. ;
and i see you standing there 21:50 - 18.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a broken heart can't be that bad. you're waiting for someone
to put you together ; i'm getting into my lyricish mood again. was reading ron's blog, past entries and everything - its amazing how the songs can speak so much to us. they can actually articulate exactly how we feel. amazingness. ; SIMUN has been taking a toll on all of us. not saying that its a total waste of time; i guess i did find it pretty interesting from time to time (ITS ALL ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE! MAKING FRIENDS!) hurhur. sooo glad i got siyou in my commitee though, we just stuck to each other like glue! but of cos we met new people (: haha. there's UKGUY, finella with the uber cool accent, 14 year old small scared looking girl, mr. GREECE who talks like mattchek, waterpolo eyeballer, PONNER sean and so on. we were sorta all forced to go up and speak in front of our committees and all, and i guess it was good, if not i guess most of us wouldve ended up stoning. tmr's the last day. gotta wake up early again. doesnt feel like friday going on to saturday AT ALL. ugh. feels like, a holiday. haha. but its coming to an end and yesterday while i was thinking about it i realised that im really quite screwed for my terms. even though i only have 2 papers left, so actually i shdnt be complaining cos i have one less sub to study, but honestly honestly, im really scared that i do badly. the consequences i do not want to predict for myself. they'll probably turn out much worse. egad. ; the week is ending, and i think almost everyone is back! reuben's back! and i think debator's are coming back tonight. hurrah. we can never get the best of both worlds, can we? they're back but we all got to study. life is unfair. ;
cos its you&me i like the thought of you&me. 19:37 - 17.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- baby this is all we ever could be. ![]() icecream, walking, seveneleven, talking, blisters. but the blisters were worth it. so were the consequences. mm i dont know how to go about pinpointing the feeling; it wasnt the fluttering of the heart or anything like that - it just was. i dont know how to describe it. i guess it was more of like spending time with a long lost friend than anything else. still special, somewhat, somehow.
i loved you then and i love you still 22:10 - 17.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- amazing love. NAT! I FOUND IT! :D :D :D
The love of God is greater far 17:28 - 15.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to be beautiful 21:18 - 14.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the goodbye girl. spent the whole day studying at venezia by myself today. SOLO! no distractions. except for watching people that were going in and out. mm. venezia has NEW flavours! cherry mania and whiskey cream. yums. ive decided that out of ben&jerrys, island cremery & venezia, venezia wins hand down! haha. they have WONDERFUL flavours. i have rekindled my love for ice cream. gelato rocks (: reached there at about 1130, had a bruschetta casalinga (HEAVEN!) then got down to studying. studied history the whole day, barely left the place except to go to the washroom. so at the end of the day - i think i left at about 7 plus - i had a bad headache cos i was in the aircon for so long. brr. the most interesting thing about studying in venezia is the people that you observe and the conversations that you overhear. hahaha. of course when i was studying i had my ipod on and i couldnt hear a thing, but when i was like taking a break and stoning, it was really fascinating hearing other people's conversations. :O :O haha. AND watching scandalous couples. hmm. SO MANY. lets just take one school for example, lets call it School H. haha so there was a couple from this school who was sitting directly opposite me at the far corner.. and at first it was fine. but after a while, too much mush came out. like the guy gave the girl his jacket and helped her wear it.. then they sorta held hands and talked, then the girl leaned on the guys shoulder and the guy leaned on the girls head. AIYO MA. it started off normal and then it got a little bit GETAROOM! for me. mmmm.. hahaha. but despite all the mush, i guess it sorta struck me that it didnt matter what other people thought of them because they looked truly happy. and i guess thats what matters the most in relationships. i guess we all wish that we could find that someone that belongs to us. the someone who can always always make you happy. 20:29 - 14.03.06 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY RESPONSES NOW
I TRY: to choose love MY RESPONSES THEN (2003)
I TRY: to look on the bright side of life spot the similarities and the differences. so interesting :O 22:16 - 13.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the queen of hearts. gerrard and nat came to my block after redbluegold and brought ben&jerrys! and um. aloe vera juice! and then we sat downstairs and talked. mm. apparently everyone seemed weird today at rbg. whywhy. i guess its a good thing i didnt go! :O haha it was nice chat. just sitting there and chilling. gerrard is HILARIOUS :D and we saw a rat. ohmygoodyness i nearly freaked out. and many ants. because they spilt the icecream. AIYOMA. ;
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Now it seems to me, some fine things
it may be raining ;
maybe we're behaving more like friends now. 00:53 - 13.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you're irresistable. i just realised that IM BREAKING OUT. ohmygoodness. its horrendous. the woes of being an adolescent. which brings me to GP. haha. we had gp and lit today, in between a bunch of us went to xlb to eat and talk nonsense (so whats new) then we chionged back to school. gp was UH. lit was ohmy. i didnt come out feeling particulary good about myself, and after i asked everyone what their intepretation was they gave different answers so now im pretty much hanging in the balance. this doesnt look good. ; so after the exam, nat and i took 74, with very honest intentions of alighting at the usual stop and going home. we met nat's classmate esther chua on the bus, and we started talking. we missed our stop, esther alighted at macritchie, and we stayed on the bus. and the bus just kept going. and the two of us just took the bus ride aimlessly to nowhere. it was pretty exciting! soon we found ourselves in places we'd never seen before. like angmokio, bishan, potong pasir, and finally hougang. so we literally took 74 to the terminal at hougang.. then we decided that how bout we take mrt to the airport to go send the debators off! brilliant idea. so off we went. took mrt from hougang to changi :D
![]() 02. headless us 03. the final destination haha so nat and i realised that we were actually dead broke and only had 10 bucks to share between both of us, so in the end we had a BK student's meal and SHARED IT. and we felt extremely sad and pathetic. haha i think it was a low point in our lives. SIGH.
![]() haha then we met up with the debators and slacked with them for awhile before they went in. SO JEALOUS! :( we were superly jealous la. but im quite excited for them.
![]()
; today was a really interesting day. i really love wasting time with nat. and wasting time has good connotations in this case. its like, seems like its a waste but its not! haha (: i believe we talked non stop from like 5plus all the way to 9plus. thats really crazy. haha. we talked about everything and anything under the sun and beyond. we did damn random things. taking 74 and deciding not to get off, throwing things into the bus window next door, listening to nat speak tamil, a certain someone on loudspeaker, people staring at the mrt, bhangras, lady who stared at my badge, going OHHH at little kids, mario spotting, nearly missing all our interchange stops at the mrt, being non-mrt savvy, taking the skytrain, feeling poor and pathetic, sharing a 3.95 meal, people spotting on the mrt & at bk (sting, terminator/-ed, paperbagladies, criminal man), reading daily bread, eye communication, not being able to take pictures properly, thng's rejection of parental love, competing with thng with comebacks, people at other tables staring, hiew's openness about the special relationship, parent analyzing, BEING JEALOUS, sending them into the departure gates, getting sent home by cheks parents :O NAT! we had quite an adventure ah. and we took (almost) all forms of transport! bus, mrt, skytrain, car! we are just short of taxi and probably lrt. hahaha we shall do it like after a levels or something. and poor darroch. umm postpone postpone! :D 00:52 - 13.03.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
