Saturday hello world, woke up at 1pm and it wasn't any goodie. ahaha.

anywho, went to CHC today for service after.. a while, and then I met people who gave me the "FINALLY" speech LUL. i never promised anyway :P haha. it was great seeing Fiona, Pete, Jeff, Yan Hao and the rest of the group. So in service we learnt about "To Serve, To Give", and there was this pretty nice worship song about having faith in God, and though our flesh may fail, our God doesn't. As service ended, we went to pick Celine up and then headed to Sunway Pyramid for dinner with the rest of the CHC gang.

Went home, chilled and lazed around, then chatting with Shafie and came up with G.E.Y.S, hahah super foul. It was so fun chatting :D heehee hahaha. #bestbuddy, always so nice and lame, ish. and then Herbert and his tribe came, and we went out to chat and had some fun laughing away till midnight ish. They did the Fiction dance, and laughed at really silly jokes. Then showered, and then chatted with Celine till... till....... 4AM IN THE MORNING O.O aiks. it was interesting tho :D heehee

Sunday so woke up at 8 and got ready for Service at Homes! It was so interesting. Okla, when I say so interesting, it doesn't mean that something mindblowing happened okay, it's just another way of me saying it's all good :) Jade picked me up, as we headed to Evan's place. Worship was great! Saw Joyce. And then came the word, Parable of the Talents. It talked about utilizing our abilities, and how talents can be grown and expanded - for the glory of God. Evan started with posing a question to all of us, asking us to think of the most important question we've thought about all week. Mine was about deciding which church to settle down with. Oh! Prayer sessions were pretty good, mine was about good circle of friends, and decision making, :) so excited.. dk for what. lul. had lil chats with Jade along the way back to Suriamas abt ^decision shizzles, interesting..

will be back about Bloom..

blooming away...

owhanana :)


So it's my partner's birthday today. I came upon the notion of gathering photos of familiar faces a few days before the big day, and I had so much fun doing so, honestly. The fun came in along the way, unintended, but it sure was fun. and i love love loved Charly's drawing! though I have no idea at all why i got so fat. hahah I was on the photo collage till 3am in the morning geez :O I really don't like to sleep late cuz I have a hard time waking up in the morning. But then he replied with a "ohmygod" "u r insane" "u really are", so i guess that 's okay. hahaha. in the morning he called, and it was a good wake up call cuz i would have had a terrible time doing that usually. the phone rang, expecting it to be the alarm, it turned out to be him haha. i was soooo tired, like i dreaded a bit while talking. then yeah. it was interesting. he said he's skinnier now and i said he should eat. all in all it was a warm morning. and i felt happy also because it was the first time in forever where i woke up this early, by the good kind of alarm clock :) smiles smiles. hehe.

had Bible study today for the first time in Uni. and slept at the library till it was time for Chill n Grill.
it was alright. :) Flavia came with me. and cracked some jokes where we were in our little corner by saying she's not attractive enough // accidental joke on Samuel's forehead :X woops. // Ronald took us home while we went to pick Celine up // 

saw Derrick, and it was really interesting because he told me about his stuff with his ex-gf just like that, and that he was so open about it LOL, ya know how unexpected things can get :) and then this time I got home, took a shower or two, and we sat down to talk about religion. It went up till about 2am or so, LOL, so rare, but feeling #adventurous weee!!!, as I shared with him my perspective on Christianity, and my journey of faith with Jesus. I shared with him about 'Ps Yoong', and how I find it plainly impossible to not believe that there's a God. Though backed with less than substantial facts, (i honestly feel bad), I hope he managed to understand at the very least, where I am coming from. The fact that he's inclined to know more about God just encourages me and moves me so much. He opened up to me about his life, his heart and his leg. And it's interesting how a guy who left a tainted first impression was opening his life to me during our 2nd/3rd impromptu meeting. Sounds like a story book don't cha think :D hehe. 

He asked me questions which I failed to provide a clear answer, because I didn't know enough to tell him about it - to which I feel terrible about as well. When he said, "So... you're there, and I'm stuck... here" when he shared with me his troubles of sleeping at night, faced with a question every single day for close to 3 years. I seriously can't imagine it myself not being able to live with peace for so long, not even a week. Just when that sentence was posed upon me, feeling so helpless atm, yay, Meeah came back and I got him to chat with D about it. I was really delighted. They had a chat or two, then decided that it seemed best for D to just stay over LOL (extreme much :P), they continued to play Dota while I slept, and then got up the next afternoon for Dota and then Bible Study sesh 1 :D 

all is good, all is well, praise the Lord :)

happy birthday hanna, me love you gusta very mucho.

God is the strength of my heart

Psalms 73
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
 24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever

Your breakthrough may not have arrived yet.
Don't compare with others.
Don't give up.
God has a plan for you.

Uncle Lim's Fried Chicken

So I met up with Yvonne for lunch today. She picked me up and we headed to SS 15 to makan ^^Uncle Lim's Fried Chicken =) It was pretty interesting, as we caught up about life and uni and all those things. I shared with her about "ze good things" (Ps Yoong), and as we were chatting, we realised again how similar we both are. It's pretty cool actually :) And I told her how uni has been busy, and tiring at times, till I actually skipped classes yesterday cuz I just wasn't feeling fit enough to go for tutorials when I haven't prepared for the questions. I just wasn't mentally ready. I remember the sleep through the night was so uneasy, and in the morning when i woke up, i dreaded to get up and I could feel the stress taking its toll on my head. aiks. haha. just a lengthy elaboration, but it's passed so it's all goodie now =)

So I was sharing with her how I always feel so busy, not having enough time to spend all the time. And I decided to write down what I have been doing, to keep track of where my time has gone to because most of the time we'd be spending time on trivial things that actually do not require as much attention, and preciously, our time. I've decided to turn over a new leaf, and try my best in everything. I'm feeling really pumped up, with good vibes and inexplicable elements that are activating them good vibes, thanks Yvonne! #peace

I know that God has a plan for me, and God sees me now even though I don't usually feel that way permanently. So I am precious, and I should always do my best and not belittle myself, ever. :)

Oooooh and upon Yvonne's arrangement, as well as Jade's invitation, I attended Homes at Nathaniel's yesterday. :) His place was so pretty!!! So homey, and cosey, I loved it. Went to Homes and met a bunch of new people :) hopefully these friendships are here to stay. Homes was interesting. It's an interesting place to gather with people of the same purpose - to serve and praise and honour God. I was reminded of the importance of consistency. :)

Acts is having a mission trip at the end of the year to different countries and I'm just a lil bit sad I can't go cuz I really wanna go and I can't cuz I'll be having exams :'( Excited for Mini Bloom that's coming up next weekend, and also for meeting Dad next week, and also for going home in October, and also for going to church tomorrow, and also for experiencing God's awesome wonders more and more throughout next week :)

I pray that God will place a good circle of friends around me in Uni, and may His will for me unfold during my time in uni. I know You are watching over me Daddy God, and I know that You'll always be with me all the time, and I know that You love me and that You maneuver my life. Amen.

As Clara prayed,

God, I pray that you will grant her a good circle of friends Oh Lord, that You will handpick these people to be around her, friends of which will support one another throughout assignments, throughout life.

Herrow :)

So far, uni has been busy. I'm not too sure what I've been doing everyday, but it just always seems that I don't have enough time. Sleep has never felt so demanded, and good, and a tee bit stressful, but I suppose once I settle into the momentum, I will be okay, back in one intact piece of me.

Throughout orientation and classes, I found that the lecturers are so passionate at what they do. They appear to have an avid interest in the subject itself, and really, it shows when they teach. It shows because it is distinct from all the previous teachers that have taught me before. I love it! (their enthusiasm). Like Ms Puteri who could explain what a case is about without taking too much time to ponder about it, and Ms Deepa who told us that, "I can assure you one thing. By doing law, you'll definitely be able to touch so many lives in the future," yayerzz! Mr Lai, who seems to be the coolest so far. He's been constantly reminding us that law isn't easy. One time, he got everyone to share why we're doing law. He said that the law journey is gonna be tough, but just remember why you're here, and hopefully that'll be able to keep you strong and pull you through. Ms Haema is known as the motherly one :) I also like how the Law School is actually teaching us to be cooperative and help one another out, instead of pursuing individualism.

The law knowledge so far seems pretty intriguing, and it seems like a good start, a good platform for me to achieve my future goals. I find law knowledge very valuable, and it will definitely be useful in the future.

I'm actually pretty excited about my future. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds, how in the end, what I'm actually utilizing my knowledge for. I can't wait to travel! I really want to go to America, and other western countries, and experience and learn the western culture for a bit. I actually can't wait to be a mother as well XD haha. Anyway, carpe diem right? I gotta calm them party poppers and seize the day =)

toodles~!

another chapter unfolds

For if it's not meant to be, it if it's not God's will for you, God will close doors.

For God closed doors, I am here now.
And as according to God's will, He wants me here.
Amazing things will happen here.
My life will be changed.

Amen.

harrow

These few days spent at Cassy's have been splendid - I am so grateful. She's been the best company, so genuine and her bubbly cousin was lovely as well.

I miss so many people. I miss lala, timun and so many others. And some times moments of insecurity hit again, and it's terrible. Anywho, I just gotta have faith. I'm thankful for so many things - people around me, life given, family, who I really am.

moving into Suriamas tomorrow - wish me luck!! haha. I'm pretty excited.

Goodnight world. Cheers, to new beginnings! < 3

happy birthday Michelle Teo! :)

What an eventful week!

Went to have Prefects' Lunch on Monday, with the gang.

Tuesday stayed home cuz of cramps, while preparing my heart to go back to KL, while figuring things out with accomdation in KL.

Wednesday went rock-climbing with Nic Tan, CYC, Tim. Had dinner at Maple. And didn't manage to get Just Berrys :( Great dinner nevertheless. Had fish head noodles and fried wet noodles? Haha.

Thursday went to do IC, and went out with the mooters :) i've missed em so much. Charly ma lil boy, Rav and Viv. was struck with headache at night :( bummer, wanted to go out with timon.

Friday, went to Parkson with the mother, then BAH KUT TEH < 3 ahhh so so so good. Stayed home to do Maths at night - brought back so much memories, and packed the old clothes for Sat's activity.

Saturday, woke up at 6 am (so damn difficult >.<) had maggi with prawns, went to Bub's hse. Went with Jaclyn's car, mistaken her as having a lil sis (just like my mum) and saw James too. Jaclyn's so lovely! Upon arriving san damiano girls hostel kiulu, I puked a bit of maggie and I decided for the 3rd time maybe to not ever have maggi again, it's so unhealthy and uncomfortable O.O Had light breakfast then moved on to teach the girls Maths. Some were really smart and sharp, the rest would do well with proper guidance and much more exercise :) great expereince neverhteless! Had lunch, saw Uncle Callistus. They were like, "Oh, it's Annabelle Yap's sister!!!" okay. Went home, bonded with bub :) and jac, then Aunty sent me home. Turned on the air-con and had the best nap ever till 5.15pm, showered then went to church but arrived only at 6pm, mom wasn't happy. My eyes were so red idk why.  I wore glasses. Chlo and Lau didn't go, but Fiona did :D

Then at 7.10, timon called lol, then we went to makan KFC (food was bad :( ), and then bought a neckpillow for Choon Ying, and timon said his was a bit girly, but it's nice haha. I was a bit sad, just a little bad, but felt more awkward and disappointed overall. It was funny. Then Hercules for the second time but at RM 12, then home :))

love ya, mwah

i'll figure this out in a bit

Went for my review at Dr Melinda's today. She said I am on the right track, and expects me to be flawless in Dec. Damn, I've just spent another big bulk of kachings which sums up to 1k already. It better be good. Haha.

So abs accompanied me to spend some time, before joining Yau, Pete and Ham for brekky. Dad came to pick me up and told me that he's just settled a deal with CYC's parents. I was so excited,  cuz CYC is such a niceeeee lad! This brings mr back to the fond memories I have from high school, from J3. 

During the first week of school, I was being my usual self laughing like a mad woman, and getting hyped up with my friends like SK, Celine, Nic Tan, ah Heng maybe?, Leong and CYC. I asked, "What do u want to do in the future?" "做警察吧。。" "这样就要好好读书!" and I think I said something that goes along, "做警察就要保护我” “你要好好读书,要做警察保护我ah,不是meh?" That's how sparks flew LOL. I sat with him once, and I'll always rmb his demeanor. He always has his left hand supporting his head that he often tilts downwards, and his eyes would swing around and occasionally left, to check someone out. Haha. And I rmb sitting really close to the edge of the table cuz he was just sooo close to me. Haha. And whenever my stationery fell to the floor, he'd be the first to reach for them, and quickly returned them to me. Haha. Once in a while, I'd pick them up and he would too, and there'd be accidental skinship, LOL (hahahah), and then I would cringe and go backwards, and I'd be like "OK, wo lai na zhe ge, ok?"and then he'd be ''ah, ok, ok."hahahaha.

Another one that makes it through to my memory bank, was the time he decided to tell me how he felt about someone. So, me being the usual loud and weird me, was weirding my day away. Throughtout the day, slowly news came to my ears saying, "Hey, did you know that he's plannig to tell you today?" I was like "Ö.O, WHOA."He usually reaches school really early in the morning, whereas I, later. And I saw him sitting in one of the chairs, having one of his arm crossing over his chest and another supporting his hand which creasing his forehead all day long. Haha, it was really evident. So initially I didn't know, but slowly news spread I guess, and more and more people came to tell me about it - but I don't think he realised cuz he was too engrossed in his ''plan". And so the bell came close to rinigng signalling school's end, and I remember seeing him standing somewhere around the classroom, (  i think it was next to the whiteboard, close to the door - pls excuse such random position if you think it is, cuz my class was so rowdy, everyone's just everywhere, most of the time') with the same position (hand rubbing his forehead), and my heart palpitated quickly. I usually laze around and take my sweetest time while packing my books, and usually leave only around 3.45 or later, just when most of everyone has left, then I leave the classroom slowly, strolling my way through. That day, I remember shoving most of my textbooks quickly into the blue Adidas bag Anna got me (from her forum trip in Lahad Datu), and then he started going, "Christabelle!" And I went "Sylvia!" So it was like "Christabelle!""Sylvia!""Christabelle! Christabelle!""Sylvia! Sylvia! Sylvia!"and then I ran away quickly and left him in the class room.

Sylvia reprimanded me for not allowing him to do it, because I heard he's been very stressed about it, and thought about it for a veryyy long time. And that he was smoking his stress away, dayem, I felt so bad. Then a few days later during Moral Class, while I was frolicking my way through to the teacher's desk to hand in some work, as I turned around, he was in front of my face with his ears all red and his head down. Then he rubbed his right ear and said, "Christabelle ah, 我其实想要跟你讲一样东西了很久“ I decided to hear him out, feeling all nervous inside. Then I was like, "Ah, 讲啦讲啦" "其实我已经喜欢你了很久,不过我希望我们还可以继续做好朋友啦" Then I think I said, "Oh, dang ran dang ran."And then I think I said thank you and shook his hand and walked away to, supposedly to my girlfriends. Haha. And from what I've heard, vaguely, I think even though it didn't work out, but he was happy and relieved that he did it. =D

This reminds me of sometimes (if I'm not mistaken) if I skip recesses and decide to stay in class, he'd stay back too from his group of bros to accompany me, I think la. Haha. And once when we were doing this project on Geography or something, while deciding the group member's list, there was only one spot left open. And Lelong and him were pushing it to one another, "OH you can have it" "Oh you can have it, cuz I've spent enough time with her on **something else** or cuz I've been in the same group with her on another project ady. HAHA. :P ANd this also happened once where we went to watch a movie in Growball with Celine, Sylvia them all, and Celine shoved me to be in between em both, but I ended up sitting in between the girls, also because I can't hear if I sit on the left, so I felt it would've been awkward if I couldn't hear whichever of em were talking to me. Haha. I rmb CYC's gaze each time he talks to me, he pays full attention haha, he's such a nice chap.

He's got this natural sense of humour, and he's always got the nicest stories to tell. I rmb him telling me and Sylvia how he spends time with his cat, and he sleeps with it, and sometimes the cat pees at home or on his bed, and he ought to clean it. and how his cat scratched him. and how his car almost flew out of the car, and he tried to save it. Not sure to believe it or not, but it sent me and SK cracking up like madness. And also, since CYC is so chinese, hahah there was once I should be explaining where my sister was studying, it's Goldcoast abut he said 'huang jin hai an' instead, and i couldn't understand him nor could he understand me. It was till a third party came in and joined our convo baru told me that they're the same =.=

I remember feeling odd and a lil sad inside cuz he seemed to stop talking to me and ignored me during PMR or UEC time. However, a year later, I still hear people saying that he still has a crush on me, but I thought it was barely plausible since he doesn't even talk to me. I rmb on Valentine's Day 2012, I foundt his box of Belgian Seashell Chocolates in my desk. I looked around, wondered who it belonged to or who it was from since there was no note. I rmb being extra cautious, because previously I found smth really creepy in my desk - smth with a note attached which told me to follow what it says or smth creepy like a bomb will happen or smth. Anywho, I was just really generous and gave it all away and finished it that period itself. It was only till this year's V'Day when me, Nat, Alvin and Roland were otw to Chee Ren's open house, that I realised from Alvin it's from him. After 2 years of mystery XDXD haha


#goodvibes  < 3

I know it's not the best idea that I'm feeling excited while chatting with you. And that I continously wear that smile whenever my phone vibrates. But I'm so glad I got to know you better this time. :) cheers
