Just a little bit more...

and my weekend will be here!!! :)

Yesterday morning, watched this in class. The Blind Side. A very touching and heart-warming movie. :) The little kid, Sean Junior is super funny in this movie. This movie also speaks faith, courage, love and more. Well, the task is to write a review on it. I wanted to start writing it but my head just went blank. So i thought this may be a lil warm up to do before i start typing the review. But right now, i still can't really think of anything to write. sigh. Help! Maybe some of the brain cells got burnt yesterday. =/ Aiyo, crack my head!! What to write! Lecturer doesn't want a summary of the story. It's for my assignment which due next week. I plan to finish it by this week so that i could enjoy this weekend. I'm really trying hard to give myself time to enjoy.

You see, i have driven myself to the max until my body collapsed. Actually i was starting to feel very ill in class yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat and that almost killed me. How suffering it was to have a sore throat! Moreover, my discomfort was worsened by the air-cond! Ah goodness. I just hate it. However, told myself to endure the whole morning class and rest in the afternoon. So i skipped the afternoon class. That's also when my fever started. I had sore throat, bones ache, flu and fever at one go. JACKPOT! I wanted to rest in that afternoon, but only slept for an hour.

Then i woke up, feeling nothing better. I started to work on my recordings. And it's when i discovered that i have talents in acting! LOL! I was finding suitable songs to match the scenes in my drama, and i tested them myself. So basically, i played the song, said the lines of many many characters and recorded it. My voice sound awfully sick in the recording. X( haha. But the feeling is there! Woot! Wuiseh! It's so funny when i played back my recording. It's totally NOT agnes who was speaking! Anyways, I really hope that the drama would turn out really good. It's my first production and i really want it good!!! By the way, i'm learning ballroom dance now. And my partner is a funny guy. :)

sick egg. O_O

Owkay, actually i planned not to tell my parents about the fever. Daddy called and found out i'm sick. Later in the evening, mom called and forced me to clinic. =.= Heh. (Well, you know me, i don't want to go to the doctor.) But in the end, i went. Obedient. :D My blood pressure was 92/57 mmHg. O.O whereas the normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. Goodness. I was also given many types of drugs. T.T i looked at the names, and thought of something i used to do whenever i received drugs. And now, i think i hid my drug book. Anyways, drugs, yeap. I slept early last night. :D Good girl hor, Geral. :)

This morning, i woke up early. Wanted to sleep longer but i had work to do so yeah. It's a Gerko day, therefore no lectures, but there's softball, which i skipped. Yeepiee! I used the whole morning to edit my speech, make another graphic organization, edit my research paper and I was about to start with my next coursework, that's when i got stuck. X( Sigh. Afternoon, i went home to continue my work but had a nap just now. I set the alarm at 230pm but i snoozed it everytime it rang. So in the end, i woke up an hour later. =.= Then had my first bath, was having fever so couldn't bath. Feel so good and refreshing after that. :)

Then received message saying that we have sudden extra work to hand in tomorrow. Crazy! Reflection report on the Language Week. T.T MORE WORK. I'm still sick ok? After written quite a long post, i still feel empty in my brain. I'm still in the ill mode.

"Take me to your heart, take me to your soul, show me what a guardian star is..." Oooo~ suddenly this song is playing in my mind. :)

OK! Agnes, Jia you!! Just a little bit more...

seeing something different.

Run towards your dream!

Went to a camp, learnt a lot of things!! :) I feel like i have grown a little. :D Praise Lord! Hmm, i actually wanted to type out a lot of things regarding on the camp, it taught me a lot of things. First time cried in a camp listening to real life stories; first time sleeping on a bunk bed (was sleeping on the top alone, very scary i tell you! i didn't know which side to turn to at night. empty beds besides me.); first time shared on photography experience with some adults (they are really nice people); first time had my sand fight (the enemy was ah wei stupid boy who gets jealous easily.); first time took bath with *euuurrrk* erm, water which looked like coffee; first time praising people so many times in four days! Lot's of new things. It was a good try! :)

Good thing, good thing.... here comes the BAD THING! I got bitten by those super poisonous wild insects. The bites are swollen now. Sobs. They are very irritating, itchy, and painful when you touch them. Not again not again not again.

big SIGH.

I learnt to be patient, learnt to praise, learnt to appreciate... And the most important thing i learnt from this camp is about dream. It is always a sensitive issue which will stir my feelings up. However, after this, i think i am going to face it with a stronger heart. I can't just stay like this forever. It's time to change my mindset.

每一个梦想都一定会经过考验。
不要为了盲目地追求自己的梦想而伤害爱你的人。

How true. Eric's sharing touched me a lot, i cried and i realized how self-centered i was. Then, from one of the game in Team Building, there's one game where the whole group had to cross over a string, hand in hand. The sharing and the game were like a wake up knock. They might be wrong at killing me dream, or snatching it away from me. BUT i was even wrong for doing all the things i have done, for saying all the words which hurt them. :(

梦想，梦想。如果到最后弄到其他的人受伤，爱你的人为你心痛，大家都不开心 - - 那么那个梦想到底有什么用啊？曾经很自私地认为所有的人都很坏，不过到最后，自己应该才是那个不迁就别人的人吧？

[I will upload the photos soon in Facebook, maybe next week.]

Holidays are over. SO FAST! It wasn't a holiday anyway. Yesterday went out with Pastor, Ah Wei, Lanny after church to The Hills shopping mall for lunch. After that went out with Amy to watch Alice in the Wonderland 3D!!! It turned out to be a continuation of the story of Alice after she had grown up. I like the last part where there was a modern dance by the hatter.

Alice in the Wonderland

Too bad the time was really not enough, only managed to watch a movie then walked around for awhile. Then Amy's daddy sent me home. I like her daddy. So "young", so funny... hehe. He asked me already got boyfriend or not. I replied 'no' then he said must be daring to look for the one i love, don't wait for him to make the move. If not, the guy will go away. LOL!!! He said now the world has changed; the girls can go after the boys. :) And he says to find the true love, must pray specifically. :) What kinda boy you want - smart, handsome, bla bla...

Anyways, now i'm sooooo busy with things. My life. My studies. Well, i got no time. I have tried, but i think i can't. So, yeah. I dunno if the things i am doing now are giving the wrong signals or what, but just wanna clarify that i'm not planning on anything right now. I just like the time i spent together with you all. Laughing and fooling around. Text you when i am bored. Well, but i still believe in waiting. :) If you want the answer, ask again on my birthday this year. Perhaps I will answer you honestly this year.*

Ooh, and i just got my phone back. Hmm, lost ALL the messages. Well, perhaps, it is an indication, an indication that i should move on and start all over again with nothing. :) Feeling good for this, though i miss the time in the past, though i still want to hold on to the memories. But no no no, i'm gonna let them go, one by one, or all at once. I don't want to be entangled in the past. anymore.

Two exams papers are given back. Kinda disappointed. Will talk about it more after i have gotten all the papers back. Gonna be super busy this week. Lots of things to do, lots of activities, lots of preparation to be done. HEADACHE!

In JUNE holiday, i just want to sit at home, doing nothing, starring aimlessly at the ceiling, asking myself, "what should i do?" :p or perhaps, if i really can't stand the state where i have nothing to do, i will just find something i enjoy doing. Currently have one plan in mind. :D

Next movie...

How to train your dragon :D

A new start.
Goodbye, you!

I survived! :)

ONE MORE WEEK!!!

Hiya! :) Feels like it has been ages since i last updated. Really updated my blog, i mean. Whoosh! Life has been really packed. and BUSY. really busy.

CRAZILY INSANELY RIDICULOUSLY BUSY!!!

Despite my busy schedules, i still try to find some time for you guys, to talk to you guys, keep in touch, join you guys. You guys are lucky huh. But still, i couldn't make it for all. ERIC!!! I'm so so so terribly sorry! :( I really wanted to meet up but was busy. sigh. Jane said next week Eric is gonna go back to NZ. So soon! Gotta meet up somehow, but i'm really afraid in the end, i would be the one saying "sorry, i can't" again. :(

So, what was i so busy with? Drama script, emcee audition, banner design, handball training and practices, ES full paper test, handball closed tournament... GOSH! I didn't know, and didn't expect my life would turn sooooo BUSY. Okay, i enjoy being busy, but maybe not this much. It's driving me crazy! I'm starting to lose all my good mood, and get irritated so easily. I have never expected it to become like this! This is so way different and worse than the one i used to picture before. And yeah, one thing - i just hate (dislike, loathe) rainy mornings! Feels like my good feeling for a brand new day is showered away by the rain. Just, don't like it. =/

Preparing for test...Wednesday, after Softball, took a refreshing bath and went to school library. I wanted to finish reading the poems. I was alone too at that time (sounds pathetic? a little. :P) prefer to study alone :) Erm, a not-so-talkative companion would be great though. hehe. So yeah, plus that was an afternoon, after weeks of packed activities, i barely had enough sleep. And that afternoon, i just couldn't run away from sleepiness. I was really tired. So, i guess i didn't really study much too, just managed to read all. I was so sleepy that i kept yawning and dozing off. Until...i saw a CCTV just right in front of me, on the top. Oh hoh. Friday, after YA, came back to hostel (cuz Saturday we had test and Handball tournament) to study. That night was...terrible. Fighting with sleepiness, drank a cup of rich coffee, trying my best to stay awake. X( Argh! I love ES so i really wanted to do well in it. But,

It's this thick, how do you expect me to finish reading everything? Okay, reading everything, i can do that, but what about understanding and remembering them? No way! (Those are all my precious notes btw :D)

I just hate it, when...

sickening thing like this happened! My book! :'(

Luckily, my week wasn't so bad cuz once in a while, daddy will bring some home-cook food for me, knowing that i am super allergic to the cafe food. :p

mama's fried rice! With prawns, but they are just too tiny, if not, i could kek someone. :( hahahahaha.

and some sweet, cute and colourful cupcake from Jacq. :)

Thursday night, after tiring and energy draining handball practice, i made this with the help of Fiona. First time making. NOt so bad. :p haha. Then we went to rooms after rooms to deliver the drink. :)

just to finish up the limes mama gave me. :)

Saturday, ES FULL PAPER TEST. Tried to study the night before but was too tired, so gave up and went to bed. Woke up 330am to resume the study, which didn't really work (and never will work well for me!) NOt a morning person. =/

I took one of this powerful weapon from home but still...couldn't help much. Brain was totally dead. X( NOt functioning. And i didn't know that i was that panic till i couldn't remember a thing i learnt before. Kantoi! (LOL! First saw this word from Mun and the other day, Myli, my classmate from Penang said it again. So i learnt it. Penang language ey?) Anyways, it was really bad. Screwed it up. Sigh. It's just a pre-mock test, and it's already that difficult. What more to say if it's my mock? or the FINAL?

(Oh btw, the cat case behind, very cute isn't it? :D it's especially for me to keep wires. :P)

Saturday evening, Handball Closed Tournament. 1st team, and we're fighting against our seniors. Scary enough. We lost! hohoho. Scored one point, at least. :p hehe. It was fun, but rather rough. My arm was pulled, and my perfectly- beautiful-shot-to-be was being hit away from the back! :( so sad. If not, it would be a perfect and beautiful shot. haih.

* * *

Designing the banner for Recreational Sports Programme was really really tiring! :( Owing to the extra large scale which i used, my Photoshop ran so slow that i almost gone crazy by just waiting for it to save the changes.

and the final design:
Those are the photos which i took. Look at the pink tent, it was the camp we set up last year. And that yellow bag, was actually mine! :p The cooking, which caused me to have a real bad tummy ache last year.

Today, we watched... FREEDOM WRITERS!

Must watch must watch! It's indeed an inspiring and enlightening movie! (especially for teachers) I've written the summary and reflection (review) on it so i really feel lazy to retype. :p In this story, the teacher, Erin Gruwell shines as the epitome of a dedicated teacher who gives selfless love , care and sacrifices to her students. Basically, it's all about how Erin dealt with her students' problems, changed their lives, touched their lives, while coping with problems and conflicts between her colleagues and her husband. A very noble job i must agree, after watching. Anyways, feel so sad leh, her husband, Scott, just didn't understand Erin. He blamed Erin for paying less attention on him and in the end, their wonderful marriage came to a divorce. Aiyoyo. Lousy and terrible husband! Tsk Tsk. I pray this won't happen to my husband! :p He should be the one supporting me in whatever i do. I think i would break down too if even my spouse himself is not standing on my side and helping me to pull through. Listen here ah, whoever you are. :p

MISS director in action! :p Mdm Angie didn't come to class today, so we used the time to discuss our dramatization. I'm very pleased everyone is giving their cooperation. Hopefully there won't be any conflicts and inner fights amongst us. :) Happy working, people! Gonna put full force in it after our Mock. :)

songs selected for drama. :D

erm, just some random thing on the white board, by me. :)

* * *

OKAY! i know it took me really long, to actually finish this novel. =/ It's a birthday gift from Bert. :D Thanks! The story is just magical, sweet and wonderful. :) I really really enjoy reading it. I wasn't keen on finishing it at first because i was quite busy, you know that. So yeah, left it there for quite sometime but in the end, told myself i gotta finish it last week. So i read it every night, after i had done with my thing. (Sometimes, i chose to read it first.) Till the last few chapters of it, i started reading it so eagerly cuz i really want to know what would happen in the end. I'll try to summarize it later. It's a good book to read. Aww! Cecelia Ahern's book, a modern fairy tale. :)

Alright, here comes the summary!

"How can you know someone you’ve never met?

Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn’t. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair.

Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and meets an attractive doctor, who persuades him to donate blood. It’s the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time.

When Joyce leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, she moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of déjà vu is overwhelming her and she can’t figure out why …" (Cecelia Ahern's website)

"déjà vu" is a cool term you know. I had this kinda experience before but never really known what is it called. And yeah, the story plots go on pretty well. Especially the last few parts. Justin and Joyce started to find out about each other, especially Joyce, who wanted to know so much what's happening inside of her. She wanted to find out why was she suddenly speaking Latin, eating meat, seeing images of buildings and historical places in her mind which she never did or seen before. And why was she somehow felt connected when she saw Justin? They had met quite a couple of times, and Justin found himself strangely attracted to her but he didn't know he saved her before. In the end, they get to know each other, Joyce found out Justin was the donor of the blood, and thanked him secretly using muffin cakes. (which i find it so cute, i wish there would be secret people dropping me muffins, hiring a taxi for me. haha. It will prompt me to dig out of this person more! Em em em... 14th Feb is near. :D It's either you give me presents or you give me ang paos. LOL) And the last one which Joyce did was giving him two tickets for an opera through the driver of the taxi which she hired for him. He returned the envelope. Joyce was dejected so she handed the tix to her dad, wanting her dad to spend the tix with his friends. But when her dad opened the envelope, it's only one ticket lef! And at the back, it was written:

"Accompany me? Justin."

AWWWW sooo sweet right! Justin took the other one, left one for her. I know my smile crept onto my face at the moment i read it. "Accompany me." I love this phrase. So these two people were busy preparing to meet each other for the 'first' time; Justin as the saver while Joyce the one who wanted to thank him. But they bumped into each other in a grocery store and Justin's sister-in-law asked Joyce out for a dinner on behalf of Justin. While JOyce's friends said yes for Joyce too. So now, they have two places to go, opera, or dinner. And the stupid missing-out-on-each-other happened here lo! Joyce chose to go to the opera, thinking that Justin would consider that as important; Justin chose to go to the dinner, thinking that it's finally the chance to go out with JOyce. Justin actually chose both "JOyce". So, you see! Missed out on each other lo. Very sickening right... :( I felt like tearing the book reading that part. (sorry, rather emotional :p) Plus, Cecelia described it in a way that i really felt that you know! Which means, she is extremely an excellent writer! :D A high praise for Cecelia Ahern once again! Whee! Then, in the end, Justin found out who the real Joyce was, and who the real secret person who had been thanking him was - they were both Joyce! He phoned Joyce and asked for explanation. But Joyce's explanation about the déjà vu sounded too ridiculous for him that he scolded her very badly. Joyce knew about him cuz she had the memories of him, but Justin scolded her a stalker! (So bad!) One month later, they met up, and Justin sincerely apologized, they were together. HAPPY ENDING! :)

yeah. Job done. :)

Thanks, that's better :)

Barbie Movies~

WASTED. I've tried again though i said i'm tired. And it's useless. Feel stupid for doing that. Guess it would be better if i have not done anything. K lah, enough for all that, gonna let go one day. hahahahaha. Oh yea, watched two Barbie movies after coming back from work!!! Guess what, they got quote! Inspiring!

There may be miracles awaiting,
They may be closer than we know when we have love to guide us as we go.
-Barbie-

If I could wish for one thing,
I take the smile that you bring.


Aaaahhh, it's raining. It always comes at the right time huh? Guess it will be a cold night. I'm already feeling coldddd. Legs hurt. :( Tomorrow is gonna be another loooongg day for the final rehearsal for Christmas Night this coming Sat. Gotta recharge myself. Not sure if my body could endure till the end of all this. I'm starting to feel sick. Having headache everyday. Didn't have enough sleep everyday. Today i went for work, it was soooo tiring!! But wait, speaking of this, there's a cute guy there at the center! xD Mixed blood, man!!! And you know mostly mixed blood guys are so handsome cool, girls are so pretty. And he has the look of Edward Cullen!! Wow...i get along with them (him and her younger sis) quite well. I remember there's one time i was marking his thick worksheets, after i was done, his sis passed me hers. I told her to hand in to the other markers. The brother joked, "She has been marking mine until she got fed up. Too bad for you." LOL! He joked! haha. Then i said to the sister, "Aww, so sorry. Blame him!" haha. That was the fun part, talking to students, it's a bonus if he's a shuai one. xD hahaha. I kinda like the sister, she's so warm and friendly. May be we could be good friends. Well, if i could stay longer there.

Oh ya, before i forget, my church will be having a big Christmas Celebration at RPR Hall this Saturday night, 730pm. HOME - LOVE. I hope you could go, anyone of you! Well, if you have time, please just go, don't miss the blessings. :) It's free admission, just costs you some petrol. But it will be worth it for the things you will gain that night. I sincerely wish you could be there. For more information, please contact me. Don't miss the chance, it's really too good to be missed!

Movie on my list: AVATAR

I Still Believe

Lyrics | Hayden Panettiere lyrics - I Still Believe lyrics

a song in Cinderella 3 - i love the lyrics, and of course the whole song. :) Enjoy!

Know what, recently i'm so into Fairy Tales. Been watching Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella 3 and some Barbie movies lately. Don't laugh!! You were once like that before. Not Fairy Tales perhaps, but what about Power Rangers, Pokemon or Ultraman? hohoho. Don't know why, feel like going back to childhood again. Found lots of lovely songs with meaningful lyrics and beautiful rhythm. Last night was watching Barbie when i realized i only have the first part of it. :( I want to finish it! Barbie and the Diamond Castle. The songs are niceeeee! I'll upload more soon.

Wanna intro, if anyone of you who has not watched Cinderella 3, try it! Really. Aiyah, don't need to care how old you are now, Fairy Tales are meant for everyone, regardless of your age. It's really a funny and romantic story. Cinderella's fairy God mother's magic wand being snatched by the evil stepmother and her two step sisters (if you still remember them). So the stepmother used the wand to make everything go back to before, before the ball where Cinderella met her Prince Charming. Her stepmother even put a spell on the prince so that he will forget who he had danced with. But then..... "You will know that you love that person, by the touch of your hands." something like that, can't really remember. The ending....i'll leave it for you to watch! haha. Try it, not bad. :) and i looove the last sentence. "they lived happily ever after...again!"
