The weather was pretty nice. There was no sun though. I kind of want to get darker, but then again, say NO to skin cancer! Played stuff like ultimate frisbee(and I'm TERRIBLE at catching the frisbee). It was so embarrassing. ): Every time I dropped the frisbee I'd see Joshua's pained look, because he took so much effort to get the frisbee. Haha!
We dunked each other into the sea again. Uhm, STUPID RYAN TAY.
Then we played captains ball and dog and bone and volleyball! The guys took out their shirts for the last game. EYESORE! Haha okay not really larh, but it was no tops(guys) vs tops(girls) lol. We got thrashed so badly.
Camwhored. Tried taking pictures of us lying down on the sand in the form of LTF'07, but kinda failed and ended up looking like dead people.
We found a spit-like thingie and swam to it! Pretty cool. (: I suck at swimming so darn badly.
Went to Cola's today. Watched Waterboys, which is reallyyyy worth watching if you are easily entertained by gay boys. But they're good. Koped songs too! Thanks Cola. (: Cola's dog bathed today. He's extremely HEAVY. I got stepped on countless times and he even sat on me. His ass was on my foot. Bleh.
I'm enjoying my holidays a lot. Then again, it's time for serious business now. 3 days at Kota Tinggi, 5 days at Ltf camp, 9 days at Cambodia. I hope to gain much learning experience. Leading dorm devotion might not be a big thing to most people but truthfully, I'm treating it as something important and big. I'm not the sort that can speak well publicly so I'm not feeling as confident as I should be. At least I know God will be with me. I'd prefer to lead now than later anyway.
Then comes Cambodia. Shucks. Sharing the gospel...Twice. Not really my thing but I'm so excited to visit Cambodia, I'd do anything to help the people there. (: I'll share my experiences when I come back! Haha, long while more though.
Okay, meeting tomorrow. I'll make sure I'm confident after the meeting. God will do the rest.

When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you,
And the way you look tonight
1:06:00 AM
Rai has an alarm system in her house. It was cool. Mil's leg was just going to touch the floor when the first alarm set off... And Raina jumped down half a flight of stairs(and fell) and rushed to the door to turn off the alarm before the cool loud alarm rang. ):
We went to eat prata. Prata for supper rocks. (: Prata for breakfast rocks. (: Prata rocks! We took the long way back home, and Mil stepped on a snail and had a bee chase after her, and she was terrified of a rat that she didn't see.
She stepped on another snail the next day...
We were supposed to stay up the whole night, but I think after a lot of 'fighting' and whatsoever, we succumbed to sleep in the end. Anyway in the morning, there was more jumping and torturous acts. Man, Mil's crazy.
I feel kinda sad. I don't know when's the next time we'll ever meet up again. I don't even know who I'm whining to because 3 of them don't read this blog. Zzz. I miss you guys.

A baby's hug
high chair and noticed everyone was quietly sitting and talking.
Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and said, 'Hi.' He pounded his fat
baby hands on the high chair tray. His eyes were crinkled in laughter
and his mouth was bared in a toothless grin, as he wriggled and giggled
with merriment.
I looked around and saw the source of his merriment. It was a man whose
pants were baggy with a zipper at half-mast and his toes poked out of
would-be shoes. His shirt was dirty and his hair was uncombed and
unwashed. His whiskers were too short to be called a beard and his nose
was so varicose it looked like a road map.
We were too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled. His hands
waved and flapped on loose wrists. 'Hi there, baby; hi there, big boy. I
see ya, buster,' the man said to Erik.
My husband and I exchanged looks, 'What do we do?'
Erik continued to laugh and answer, 'Hi.'
Everyone in the restaurant noticed and looked at us and then at the man.
The old geezer was creating a nuisance with my beautiful baby. Our meal
came and the man began shouting from across the room, 'Do ya patty cake?
Do you know peek-a-boo? Hey, look, he knows peek- a-boo.'
Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was obviously drunk.
My husband and I were embarrassed. We ate in silence; all except for
Erik, who was running through his repertoire for the admiring skid-row
bum, who in turn, reciprocated with his cute comments.
We finally got through the meal and headed for the door. My husband went
to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man
sat poised between me and the door. 'Lord, just let me out of here
before he speaks to me or Erik,' I prayed. As I drew closer to the man,
I turned my back trying to sidestep him and avoid any air he might be
breathing. As I did, Erik leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in
a baby's 'pick-me-up' position. Before I could stop him, Erik had
propelled himself from my arms to the man.
Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their
love and kinship. Erik in an act of total trust, love, and submission
laid his tiny head upon the man's ragged shoulder. The man's eyes
closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged hands full of
grime, pain, and hard labor, cradled my baby's bottom and stroked his
back. No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time.
I stood awestruck. The old man rocked and cradled Erik in his arms and
his eyes opened and set squarely on mine. He said in a firm commanding
voice, 'You take care of this baby.'
Somehow I managed, 'I will,' from a throat that contained a stone.
He pried Erik from his chest, lovingly and longingly, as though he were
in pain. I received my baby, and the man said, 'God bless you, ma'am,
you've given me my Christmas gift.'
I said nothing more than a muttered thanks. With Erik in my arms, I ran
for the car. My husband was wondering why I was crying and holding Erik
so tightly, and why I was saying, 'My God, my God, forgive me.'
I had just witnessed Christ's love shown through the innocence of a tiny
child who saw no sin, who made no judgment; a child who saw a soul, and
a mother who saw a suit of clothes. I was a Christian who was blind,
holding a child who was not. I felt it was God asking, 'Are you willing
to share your son for a moment?' when He shared His for all eternity.
The ragged old man, unwittingly, had reminded me, 'To enter the Kingdom
of God, we must become as little children.'
If this has blessed you, please bless others by sending it on.
Sometimes, it takes a child to remind us of what is really important. We
must always remember who we are, where we came from and, most
importantly, how we feel about others. The clothes on your back or the
car that you drive or the house that you live in does not define you at
all; it is how you treat your fellow man that identifies who you are.
This one is a keeper.
'It is better to be liked for the true you, than to be loved for who
people think you are......'

I want to feel happy
There was one part when they visited an orphanage. The kids were there not because their parents died, but because they were abandoned... Quite sad right. Anyway, about 30 kids greeted my parents cheerfully and sang them songs... For the first time I've heard, my mum actually shed tears(haha) and my dad said that he was really touched. They were treated like VIPS by these orphans, and despite being abandoned, their spirits were not dampened but instead they were filled with happiness and warmth.
Before my parents left, the children told them that they would keep them in prayer so as to have a safe journey back home...
My sis then asked my dad a question(concerning a family problem) and my dad replied, 'If these kids can live life happily day by day, then I can too.'
It's a very simple answer... To live life happily day by day. Maybe you'll find that it's obvious we should be doing that. But somewhat everyone always seems to be so sad. Perhaps other people are not living up to their own expectations, perhaps they're not getting what they want. Perhaps, like me, they seem to find that everything they want is not going their way.
I don't know, I can't seem to find my right mood... I've been shunning some people today and it kinda sucks because I don't want to. I couldn't wake up for Sunday School today because I was doing something stupid last night. Something not worth doing to skip church.
Maybe I'll feel better when I see my friends tomorrow.
Oh, I also wanna go to Cambodia to get a different experience.
...At least San's going with me this time...

I still like this song
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
Ah. It's sweet.
Went out with the 91ers today. Ate beef noodles(how expected) and then went to the arcade... What a waste of money! But it's such a fun place lah! I totally love that shooting game in that container thingie. We were screaming at the first part because spiders kept crashing into the screen. And I was a total loser at Daytona. I wouldn't have been that far off from the rest if I didn't overturn at the last 5 seconds!!! ): Paiseh. Raina's pro at all these games. How unfair.
Walked over to Wen's really really near condo. She has really tiny poker cards!!! I want... ): And then we went to Bishan Park to rollerblade. We saw the cutest bear-dog ever!!! It was so freaking cute and it attracted everybody's attention haha. It was brown, small, and basically, bear-like!
The sky was so nice today. It was really blue with tiny white fluffy clouds. We saw a rainbow too! It was so pretty...
I wish more school people lived in Bishan. But I shall be satisfied! Just need a few people to make my day. :D
Met up with Ry and San for dinner too.(No Wen, not my boyfriend) =.= So much for studying... :D Tomorrow I'll prepare for Chem!
Thanks for the company all of you. (:
12:13:00 AM
I'm loving it
I run to Macritchie and take a bus back.
I almost died. DIED. First time I ran since 6 months ago. I took 40 minutes to reach Macritchie. Well, that was including crossing two overhead bridges and KINDA getting lost? :P
Went to Sentosa for the first time in.. Probably a year. It was quite fun! Played Frisbee, Monkey, Handball.. And in the sea. I had to change my shirt twice. I WONDER WHY.
Missing out a lot of details but I'm lazy to type them all out. Just thankful for being able to fellowship with these people. Now, this is what I call Lively Teens Fellowship. Just that only a small number of us turned up. ):
I'm aching like crazy. Normally it takes a day for my aches to arrive, but I'm experiencing them already. And I'm loving it. Haven't ached since like training? :D
^_^
11:07:00 PM
And then I told Joei that I would sit at the back, so I didn't need to navigate. Then I rushed towards the back seat so that Joei had to sit in front. And my sisters were looking at me like I was crazy because...
"Uhm... Sarah.. That's not our car.."
Haiz.
I went to bed at 12am but ended up sleeping at 130am.. It's the first time in weeks that I couldn't sleep 5 minutes after I laid in bed. Sucks.
You know, I LOVE THE JAPANESE!!! Went to Youtube to look for the Japanese clip that Mr Loh let us watch during his 'fun stuff' sessions. Go watch!!
First up is the Human tetris. It's a game, hope you'll understand.
Second, pranks!!! Quite embarrassing larh the people were naked lol!
I'll look up for more stuff later, but right now, IT'S RUNNING TIME.
7:42:00 AM
I wanted ice cream today. ): But my own 'clique' abandoned me today haha how sad. Eg, some stupid person by the name of M___A__ wanted to go home and study because O's are not over yet. )):
Anyhow! Cola saved my life. So did a few others(Breakfast gang or whatever). Followed Cola home first and her really really cool Auntie was at home. She was the sort who bought Cola lots of things and (quote)'treat Cola like a 5 year old girl, not 16!'
How embarrassingly cute! :D
Caught Macs breakfast just in time, watched The Game Plan! It's funny! But somebody just wouldn't stop calling the movie cheesy and boring. Stupid!
I knocked my head really hard onto a low gate and walked into a pillar at Cathay today. At this rate I'm going to be dumb(Don't say I'm already dumb) by the time I gotta sit for Chem and Bio Paper1.. Aiyoh..
Holidays are not exactly here yet but gosh, today was fun. :D
Tired though. Couldn't last a disc of Samurai Champloo. Ahwelll.....
I might just die tomorrow.
