I've been busy

watching boys before flower. :D but the ending was such a disappointment! it was a happy ending, yes, but i wanted to see them get married, and see ji hoo meet someone to replace jan di. ahh well. but it's still a good show nonetheless :D

work has started at kinderart/redart (the company structure is confusing -.-), and i'm to help in the application of redart as a training provider with wda. they want to offer training programmes for people to become art teachers. so there, i've been navigating the wda website everyday. working from home today, but the earlier part of the day was spent finishing boys before flower. so now i'll have to work doubly quick. band prac tonight, and i'll get started on reading romeo and juliet to help renjie w lit. sigh. i can't believe i need to read shakespeare again!

anyways, i'm really glad for this holiday. i have time to do what i want to! like shopping with kailin after at least half a year since i last saw her, swimming w shi en (actually we always start off w a one-hour-at-least chatting session), helping my xiao zu girls w their hw, serving in church, n of course, watching korean drama :D

ahh but my irritating cough won't go away, so the one thing i can't do now is eat ice cream. i actually survived looking at my dg girls eat ben n jerry's ok! n yest kailin was eating hokkaido ice cream. n i settled for hot dessert at ah chew's instead. i can't wait for this cough to go away so i can eat ice cream! strawberry cheesecake at ben n jerry's!

n the whole of my xiao zu will be turning up for the church sports day this fri!

i can't wait for the mission trips in june and august as well. exciting!

n i can't wait for dabestclique to end their exams so we can all go out!

this is like a very excited blogpost huh. this is weird. kailin was just saying that she was emo after watching boys before flower. i thought i'll be too, but the ending just spoilt it. no emo-ness. the rest of the show was pretty emo tho. very emotionally wrenching, made me tear couple of times. that's what all korean drama do i think. make the audience tear. n make the female audience all wish they had a gu jun pyo or yoon ji hoo in their life. haha. but the show was good. quite funny!

yesterday i was smiling to myself as i walked from the kinderart studio back to the office. cos one of my colleagues is leaving kinderart in dec to pursue his dream to become a jazz singer n be his own boss :D so exciting! haha. he said he'll give me free tix to his gig :D

it seems like i've been smiling to myself a lot since the exams ended. haha. i'm gg kuku!

alright now i should get started on writing that proposal. sigh. i can't imagine myself working at this kind of thing for the rest of my life. proposals, projects, sigh.

aja aja fighting!

very happy day!

:D

first it was boys before flowers in the day. the guys in F4 in this show are actually cute!! :D the huazelei equivalent is about 100x more charming than zai zai. hehs. Then, met the beloved ftb gang of whee!dad, ellen n ahkar for jap food. (sorry wheedad!!) everytime we get together there's tons of laughter (today, over bad channel 8 drama, terrible interviews, & atas smu pple.) n i realised that wheedad n ahkar possibly know more about channel 8 drama than Ellen and I!

then, 2 hours of quality time with dear lanfang over msn webcam :) need i say more? :) the miles between us doesn't put any distance in our hearts. (so cheesy hor! but so true)

:D

grinning

all the way back home. especially when songs like one night in beijing, some track from hairspray, and wang li hong came up on ipod shuffle :D i think strangers thought I was crazy :D

had crusade 3-year anniversary celebration right after the last paper. what better way to mark the end of exams than to celebrate God's faithfulness and blessing over smucrusade. from just 5 pple, we have grown so much. even from the year i was freshman till now. it's exciting and heartening to see God working in our campus. :)

then there was valuable time spent w adora n lulu :D Thank God for such faithful sisters in school. they're a source of comfort and blessing! school is so much easier when i know they've got my back covered :)

*happy sigh*

hiak hiak hiak. now it's gg to be korean drama, dvds, going out, n doing nothing! yay! at least for this week before i start work. :) my dg girls said boys before flowers is good. n i can finally read non acadmic stuff!

菠萝包

This blog started off as a way to update fang in faraway beijing, but increasingly it's becoming an avenue to record the lil things in life, a collection of words that will pull out precious memories.

a while ago,

二哥：你饿吗？
我：饿！
二哥：有菠萝包leh，我拿给你

Since I was little, I've always been a little 'maid' to this brother. bringing him the cordless phone, waking him at specific time, bringing him a glass of ribena, giving him massage by walking on his back (i was little and very light back then yea).

but tonight was different. i don't know how, but different. maybe cos he seldom serves me food? i don't know!

I'm 21, but somehow i felt like i was a little girl. do big brothers always have such an effect on their little sisters?

i found work!

Today 10am, I emailed Ranae (from Kinderart) telling her that I"ll be available to work for a month starting 27April.

(I've been going back to Kinderart now and then to help out)

Today 11am, I received an email from Ms Sit (boss of Kinderart and a formidable woman), asking me to join her team for a new project for a month.

WOOHOO! Ms Sit is a boss with very high standards. and she's harsh in her words, and she screams at us through emails. and she really works her staff. Working on Rock It with her was the most tiring period in my life.

But yet, I've learnt so much through working in Kinderart before SMU and through Rock It that I am really excited to work with her again, though i have no idea what this project is about.

I'm really blessed that I joined Kinderart in its early days, and I got to interact directly with Ms Sit. From then on, she has given me much more responsibility than my experience would have allowed me to take on in a company. And she trusts and values me in her company. Thank God for her willingness to train me up and to give me opportunities to work with her.

It's going to be challenging working for her, but I'm excited cos I know I'll learn much. :D

Right, now I've to shower in 5 mins and get to church for prayer meet. my excitement took over logic and i blogged instead of getting ready for church. but well, yay!

i like my google homepage :)

It changes image image at different times of the day :) I like the evening one more actually. the girl holds a lollipop! and the eyes (those two circles in the centre, not those of the girl) follow my cursor. heh heh.

a huge sigh of relief

not that i've done well (I've got no idea how i did man), but that the worst papers are over. the accounting mods are over! i have two more papers to go, business process and ethics, both on monday. and after that, muahahahahahaha I WILL BE FREE!

too free, in fact. i haven't gotten an internship cos it clashes with the mission trip that i want to go with church. not allowed to take leave in internships, and internships are all from april-aug, but mission trip's in june. i prolly should go and work before june. maybe kinderart will take me in again :) and hopefully there'll be 1/1.5-month internships that come up after june.

oh well, i can't wait for exams to end! so many things that i want to do! badminton with ling, shopping, KOREAN DRAMA!!, slumgdog dvd, kbox, finally start jogging again after a whole sem of inactivity, reading, resume drums lessons etc etc.

神所赐出人意外的平安，我感受到了 :) unexplainable peace that replaced the anxiety, when I was most stressed.

and thank God for putting wonderful pple in my life. message from ling that made me laugh and comforted me much. n all the encouragement i got from the brothers n sisters in christ. i think i gave off extra-stress-vibes this time round. because in the past i never received that much encouragement from the same bro n sis. hmm. or maybe they've grown to be more caring. hmm. n my sis in law too. there should be a special sis in law day to appreciate them! :) my parents weren't around, so she took care of all things household, and cooked maggi mee for me when i had no time to go buy food. (or rather, too stressed to think abt food -.-)

but anyway, I've come to know that family is not defined by blood alone. :) my er ge+wife+daughter have been staying with my parents and I for about 4 yrs now. Thank God that the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law/sister-in-law drama that happens in tv don't appear in my home :D

anyway, the worst is over. tho i still need to study, the two papers on mon are at least more manageable. the kind that if i study, i know i will do reasonably ok. (so unlike the other two! but they're over, so i shall not think abt it.)

OH GOSH!

I'm attempting the past sem paper for management accounting now. the exam is in abt 12 hrs' time. there're 29 questions in the paper, to be done in 3 hours. I'm taking like half an hour for one question, with reference to the tb, in order to arrive at the right answer. RAHH!!! don't know to cry or to laugh lah! GRRRR

and management accounting is like peanuts compared to corporate reporting, which is 24 hrs after management accounting. n i didn't even do half as much work for corp rep. i don't think i was thinking right when i chose business/finance. i think i'd have done much better in arts. the fact that i'm even blogging shows that one, i'm more or less resigned to the fact that i suck at accounting mods, and two, this is such a ridiculous situation that i want to pen it down.

thank God i didn't choose accounting. imagine gg through this the whole of uni life. that will be downright depressing! i better go check how many more accounting mods i've to clear so as to brace myself.

gosh, it'll be super clear that it's a work of God aka miracle if i even scrap a B for both these mods. I don't even want to think about gpa now. not that i don't want to trust, but looking at the facts, how to have faith that i'll do well?! if faith that of a mustard seed can move the mountains, i sure hope what i have is enough to move my brain into thinking of the right answers.

studying

my first paper is this saturday. :(
we start so much earlier than nus and ntu! first it was the proj craze, now it's the exam phase. i can't wait for summer hols!

my parents are going to korea from tmr to next tues. sigh. no home cooked food for a week.. good thing we live with my er ge, er sao and niece. :) so there'll still be people at home. only no good food. n i must remember to feed my father's fishes. hmm

did i ever mention that i suck in accounting mods? after managerial accounting is corporate reporting. financial reports, and FRS are gg to haunt me.

the day after exams, 21 april. can't wait! heart to heart sharing and catching up with the dearest mates in school. :)

n i'm learning to keep certain thoughts to myself. i've been too direct in the past. being direct crosses into being harsh oftentimes. learning, learning. keep your mouth shut, bekah.

sigh coughing again. again. grr. so many things that i can't eat :( i was asking my mother 妈咪我可以吃旺旺的吗？
her response: *摇头*你望望就可以
diaos~
