Hi Daddy...

Long time now... :) I haven't spoken to you, nor heard from you...

Looked at my old blog posts... I guess I miss you... I miss you so darn much... it hurt :)

But it's ok :) I'm coming home... I'll meet you there... with arms wide open :)

I love you Daddy :)

Trying out Liese Hair dye

2009-09-30T09:37:00.000-07:00

Trying out Liese Hair dye...

After being influenced by my piggy cousin, I decided to go and try the Liese Hair dye...

Basically it's a DIY hair dye, which foams and you just apply it like shampooing ur hair.

The verdict?

1) It gives a pretty colour!!! I chose Mocha Orange, it wasn't as light as I thought it'd be but good enough. I like it!

2) Though it is quite pretty, you have to be really careful, do rub it into the roots as well, as there is the risk that the colour will come out unevenly. That's what happened to mine.

3) Really really easy to use. And I mean idiotproof. Mix 2 solutions, wear gloves, rub in, wait 20 min and dang! U've got hair of different colour :)

What do I say about this colour?

I like it and WILL definitely use it again!!!

There you go! it's ur call on this one :)

God...

I don't understand why this is all happening

I don't understand why my mummy had to have cancer 12 years ago

I don't understand why she had to fight so hard and yet still die at the end

I don't understand how your plans work

But all I can do is trust.

God....

I feel hurt

I feel hurt that my prayers didn't work

I feel hurt that miracles didn't happen

I feel hurt that mummy didn't say the sinners prayer before she died

But all I can do is trust.

God...

Even though I feel hurt, lost and I can't understand, I know you have it all in control. I love you

Things that make me smile

There are 10 things that make me smile

1) GOD - If not for him, I'd still be lost. I'd be bitter. I'd be the un-confident me that I was 5 years ago. I wouldn't know how to smile, I wouldn't be strong like I am right now. Yes, I Yes, I have experienced pain, hardships, heartwrenching, heart breaking moments. BUT it is for him that I stand proudly and say that I'm daddy's girl.

2) MY FAMILY - We are a unique bunch of people. Couldn't have stood stronger than I am now if not for mummy's influence. Couldn't have been the happy, bubbly self I am now if not for da jie jie and jack. Couldn't have learnt to love if not for wei and er jie jie and keat and everyone at home. I am blessed. I have a home. I call it mine :)

3) JEREMY - What can I say? He just makes me smile. When I'm upset, he lends me his shoulder. When I cry, he's there to soothe me. When I go silly we both laugh together. He complements me :) He really does. Am blessed because of him. 6 months on... And I still feel like I'm the luckiest girl ever :)

4) BEST FRIENDS - They make me smile, listen to my woes, and cry with me... Tho some of them cry even before I do... BUT I truly am blessed, because you have blessed me :)

Lin, Xin, Seng, Tim... Thank you...

AND OF COURSE

5) BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS WHICH BRIGHTEN UP MY DAY

6) 2-YEAR-OLD BLOG POSTS WHICH SOUND REALLY GAY

7) CUSTOMERS AT WORK WHO MAKE ME SMILE

8) COLLEAGUES WHO ARE SWEET

9) MUSIC LESSONS

10) BABIES

I love my life... It's beautiful...

All God given... GLory to HIM

2009-09-22T11:35:00.000-07:00

Thank you... :)

This is probably the very last one U'd see... I know you prob won't see this, BUT I still have to say it... Thank you...

Regardless of all the hurts, all the pain that I've experienced due to our "unusual" friendship in the past, I am still blessed by you...

I was reading my previous blog posts, and I realised that how much I'm focussing now on the hurt that has been caused. I truly dislike you... (or rather disliked)... Forgetting on the good that you've brought, the joy that you have brought, and focussing on the hurts caused by a friendship gone wrong...

Thank you :)

God has not promised Skies always blue,

flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God has promised strength for the day,
rest for the labor, light for the way,
grace for the trials, help from above,
unfailing sympathy, undying love.

By Annie Johnson Flint

Yes... My skies aren't always blue, my road hasn't always been a bed of roses. I haven't been joyful without first feeling sorrow, neither have I felt peace before pain.

BUT yes, My GOD gives me the strength to go through the day. Strength to smile, to love, to rest, to believe again...

He has given me strength to love again, to trust again...

Loving my God :)

"Princess, look out of the window... Welcome to Genovia, your home"

This statement was made by the butler (Josef) in Princess Diaries...

Maybe... Just maybe... one day I will hear the same words...

"Princess, look out of the window... Welcome to Heaven, your home"

And my daddy in heaven will be smiling down at me :)

Tomorrow we're gonna watch the Olympics together at Lynn's house...

Suddenly the excitement is getting to me...

可能是因为听了MV过后吧。。。突然觉得自己身为华人，真的真的非常非常幸运。。。有共同的语言，共同的肤色。。。身上流着共同的血。。。

不知大家会不会跟我有共同的想法？庆幸自己是华人，不是别种肤色的人。。。庆幸自己会说华语。。。可能因为如此，自己非常鄙视会说中文，但又坚持不说，还坚持"chinese is a stupid language" 的人。。。星期六遇上了一个那么样的人，把我气得。。。差那么一点就在他脸上刻下一个疤了。。。

argh... how I dislike these kind of ppl...

2008-08-03T09:41:00.000-07:00

小公主为买车而烦了。。。

Insurance... bargains... argh...

似乎觉得自己长大了。。。不再需要依靠任何人。。。我想，当你开始为生活琐碎的东西烦的时候，你已经长大了。。。

Look at this vid by d way...

Very touching...

Yes... This song spoke volumes to me... Deeply to me... Brought up every hurt I have been through, which I thought I had forgotten...

Esp when Ps Joyce was sharing how she chose to worship during times of distress... I can't count the number of times I chose to worship while I was hurt... Times God just hugged me, and it felt like an immeasurable amount of love surrounded me... Times I cried so so much I thought I was gonna be dehydrated, and yet God made himself so close to me... Times He just loved me irregardless of the sinner me, the cowardly me, the me who breaks his heart because His heart just breaks for me...

I am just so blessed...

I know that God will heal my family too~! :) amen

2008-07-22T08:03:00.001-07:00

LOL...

Feel like leaving Perth for a long long holiday right now... Going to a place where no one knows me or recognises me... (Can only blame myself for "knowing half of Perth"- according to mummy)... Even budget airlines would be good~!!!!! It'd be a nice change to go somewhere to refresh, relax, and come back knowing that everything else will wait for me...

Too bad time waits for no man... and it'll never go back to where it used to be...

Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Ever felt like you missed your mum so much??? Was watching Mamma Mia!, and this part really touched me... couldn't help crying... I guess time just passes so fast... And before you know it... You're 22... and all that you can do to remember the memories is look at photographs...

I wonder if my mum felt the same... when I left for Australia... That I was slipping through her fingers... (No wonder they refused to give me a key for my 21st birthday...)

Sigh... I guess there are times where a girl feels alone... and all... and I guess this is a time where I want my mummy :'( U know how mums have that special ability to kiss you when you fall down and make it better??? And they just smell so good of roses and talcum powder... and their cuddles just make everything better??? Mums just look at you with those eyes that say "I understand" (maybe mine will only laugh) but... yeah... I wish my mummy was here... BUT... she'll only laugh at my plight :P

陪我看日出 - 蔡淳佳 
    曲︰BEGLIN
    詞︰梁文福

    雨的氣息是回家的小路
    路上有我追著你的腳步
    腳下邊保存著昨天的溫度
    你抱著我就像溫暖的大樹

  ＊雨下了走好路　這句話我記住
    風再大吹不走囑咐
    雨過了就有路　像那年看日出
    你牽著我穿過了霧
    叫我看希望就在黑夜的盡處

    哭過的眼看歲月更清楚
    想一個人閃著淚光是一種幸福
    又回到我離開家的小步
    你送著我滿天燕子都在飛舞

    重唱　＊,＊

    雖然一個人　我並不孤獨
    在心中你陪我看每一個日出


What a beautiful song...

虽然一个人， 我并不孤独， 在心中祢陪我看每一个日出。。。

2008-06-06T09:37:00.001-07:00

But I'm not gonna let you down... Darling wait and see... But between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you, love, me...

So nice... :) And mine and mine alone :)

Good night~!!!! The princess has gone berserk... I realised I sound drunk when I am totally tired to the max...

2008-05-30T02:33:00.000-07:00

"Stay Beautiful"

Sunday morning at the door
You were coming back for more
We were kicking it all around
I was looking in your eyes
You thought it was justified
You said, m m m m more

[Chorus]
Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
One life, Today, You're irresistible
Get up, Get out, Stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful

Poison kisses in the rain you were calling out my name
Laughing like the joke was on me

Singin.....
Ba da da ba da da
Ba da da ba da da
Ba ba ba ba da

[Chorus]

Post cards, throwing darts, side kicks and super marts
Break dance, second chance, I will run to you
Sideways, back and forth, wake up, hit the floor
Oh no, where'd you go, I will come to you
One more, day like this
One more, poison kiss
One more, hand to fist
I will run to you
Always, first in line
Always, on my mind
Always, doing fine
I will come to you

Ba da da ba da da
Ba da da ba da da
Ba ba ba ba da

Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
One life, Today, Your irresistible
Get up, Get out, Stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you

Don't stop, don't change, stay beautiful
One life, today, your irresistible
Get up, get out, stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
Don't stop, don't change, stay beautiful

Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
One life, Today, Is undeniable
Get up, Get out, Stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
All this time is waiting for you

I like this song... First time I heard this song... I'm in love with it already... :)

1 month...

2008-05-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how 1 month can change your life so much...

:)

1 month can bring you to the top of the world, and yet bring you to the depths of the valleys... 1 month can make you so much stronger, and can break you...

1 month can make you cry... 1 month can make you laugh...

1 month can make you feel so blessed... and yet make you feel so down...

1 month... can really change your life so... :) Yet make you so certain... that what you have decided on is something so awesome... that you will never give anything to trade it away...

Thank God for 1 month(s) :)

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...

Those were the numbers chorusing in my head last night, when I was standing at Burswood watching the fireworks. 1 word to describe, spectacular. However, was just a teeny weeny bit disappointed because I couldn't hear the countdown at Gloucesters Park(ok I'm just kidding. I was very disappointed).

In a way, it didn't really rollover to the new year for me because, seriously speaking, what's a new year without a countdown? Yet in a way, I was really glad.

Was really looking forward to the new year. New beginnings.

THIS PART HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO THE WRITER FEELING THAT SHE WAS WRITING THAT OUT OF SELF PITY

So... What do I thank God for in 2007???

1) My family

You really did... Teach me, show me... all these new stuff

3) My besties

Lin, Ke Xin, Sha, Pris... Crying with me... Praying for me... Teaching me how to stand strong... Encouraging me on my beauty... Making me feel like a princess... Making me feel like I am worth it... Thank you girls... My tears were made precious because of you...

That marks the end of my 4 year course... 4 years... It was a struggle... BUT looking back, it was worth it afterall... Still can't believe that I've finally graduated... And got a job at the BIGGEST Pharmacy group in Western Australia... Had a talk with my boss today... Guaranteed a job after I register... Am a truly blessed girl... Looking back, there were tears, joy and happiness... Happy whenever I pass each year, Sad and blue when I get supplementary papers, Teary when I study... BUT the experience has trained me up to become a better person... And I am so blessed because of it all...

I'm so tired... Went to the blue duck at Cottlesloe for dinner yesterday... Then went to the movies... Watched the Heartbreak Kid... Got home at like 11:50??? BUT it was worth it... Great time catching up...

Dinner at the Blue Duck...

View from Cottlesloe... It was raining at Rottnest Island...

Movies to watch before End of 2007

1. Enchanted 26/12/07

A classic Disney animated fairy tale meets with the modern, live-action romantic comedy in Walt Disney Pictures’ ENCHANTED. Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (AMY ADAMS) as she is banished by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn’t operate on a “happily ever after” basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment.

But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY) who has come to her aid -- even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (JAMES MARSDEN) back home – she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

ENCHANTED is directed by Kevin Lima (“Tarzan,” “Eloise At Christmastime”) from a screenplay written by Bill Kelly (“Blast From the Past”) and will feature original songs from the reunited team of acclaimed composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz (“Pocahontas,” “Hunchback of Notre Dame”).

2. P.S. I love you - 25/12/2007 (From one of my favourite books by Cecilia Ahern)

Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life – a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry’s life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it’s a good thing he planned ahead.

Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly’s 30th birthday in the form of a cake and, to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to order her to get out and “celebrate herself”. In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way P.S. I Love You.

Holly’s mother (Kathy Bates) and best friends, Sharon (Gina Gershon) and Denise (Lisa Kudrow), begin to worry that Gerry’s letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future.

With Gerry’s words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into new beginning of life.

Shows to watch in Jan 2008

1. 27 Dresses - 10/1/2008

Jane is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless--a perennial bridesmaid whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane's boss--with whom she is secretly in love--Jane begins to reexamine her "always-a-bridesmaid..." lifestyle.

Any takers???

Music and lyrics

2007-12-08T06:51:00.000-08:00

As per Drew Barrymore in the movie...

Music is the initial attraction that someone experiences when he/she meets that person for the first time

Lyrics are when you get to know someone deeper... It's the soul of the person...

This is too beautiful to miss...

Kaiting~!!!! Make up your mind~!!!!

2007-12-05T03:57:00.000-08:00

Gosh... I'm sooooo indecisive...

1st thing I went in to Hollywood today, my pharmacist said "My pants feel so loose on me because I've lost weight."

The first thing I said was "wowwwww how did U lose weight?"

And my pharmacist said "I was sick, and so I lost weight"

She fell really sick because she was down with the flu. And I mean THE flu, not just A common cold.

Then I said "man... I want to fall sick too" <-- for obvious reasons --> to lose weight~!!!!!

Then later in the day, I looked at her eyelash extensions, and then realised...

I WANT EYELASH EXTENSIONS~!!!! I SO DEARLY WANT EYELASH EXTENSIONS I CAN CRY BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THEM~!!!!!

(Ok I'm just kidding)

Long, thick, black eyelashes, don't have to apply mascara... Lasts for SIX weeks...

I WANT eyelash extensions~!!!! I sooooooooo want them~!!!!!

Costs $85 at this shop called Jasmin in the city...

Whoever gives me eyelash extensions for christmas... I promise you I'll marry you... (That is IF I accept the offer)

GriNZ...

I WANT EYELASH EXTENSIONS...

*So now... make up your mind, Kaiting... do U want to be sick or do U want eyelash extensions*

Sigh... Can I have both???

2007-12-02T02:13:00.000-08:00

Went to Karaoke just now with Kexin, Lynn, Darren and Jimmy...

Sang this song, this was the last song...

We sang till we felt like crying...

1 sentence really spoke to my heart

当烦恼越来越多，玻璃丹珠越来越少，我知道我已慢慢地长大了。。。

Yep that's true... when you grow older, so many things change... and then you realise that 岁月不留人，or time waits for no man...

This song is a real classic...

Other songs we sang... which is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, (You'd say... yeah I heard that before)

对你爱不完

爱不怕

We had so much fun... Well maybe except for Darren... cuz he's only 17... and I think he didn't really know the songs we were singing... Generation gap...

Letter to my teacher...

I'm amazed that I'm still able to write an e-mail in chinese...

YET I'm appalled by how much the standard has dropped by... Though it's not as bad as tai4 bei3...

sigh... I'm becoming a *gasp* banana

' 我觉得能够跟学生“讲道理 ” 是一件好事。看到了访问，我不禁叹息，后悔自己之前没有好好学华语。更何况来到了柏斯，华语退步了~！自己更是没机会写华文。我更是不能够容忍会说华语但是“死”都不肯说华语的人。

老师，我已经毕业了，年尾就开工了。感觉似乎不太一样，进入“成年人”的社会，我感觉我自己似乎“老”了。我有时也都还会看回以前在中正的日子，自己还满怀念的。

真的，中正在我生命里做出了很大的影响。

谢谢你。

今年可能没什么机会回中正了。我从7/1 到14/1 都会在马来西亚。因为二姐结婚，所以大部分时间都会在槟城。16号就会来柏斯了。但是，如果时间应许，我一定会去中正见你们。

非常想念你们'

Scold me for having too much free time on my hands...

The English did invent the English Language, but they cannot use it effectively when communicating their intentions. Just compare these few common phrases that S'poreans and Britons use to say the same thing:

When all has been sold out...
Britons: I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.
S'poreans: No Stock!

Returning a Call...
Britons: Hello, this is John Travolta. Did anyone page for me a few moments ago?
S'poreans: Hello, who page? or Siang Ka Pager?

When someone is in the way...
Britons: Excuse me, I'd like to get by. Would you please make way?
Singaporeans: Lai, siam! or Siam ji bi! or S'kius!(excuse)

When someone offers to pay...
Britons: Hey, put your wallet away, this drink is on me.
Singaporeans: No need.

When asking for permission...
Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?
Singaporeans: (while pointing at door) Can or Not?

When asking to be excused...
Britons: If you would excuse me for a moment, I have to go to the gents/ladies. Please carry on without me, it would only take a moment.
Singaporeans: Le tan, Wa ke pang jio! (wait while I visit the washroom) or Wah, buay ta han, ai choot liao! (cannot stand it anymore, have to relief myself)

When entertaining...
Britons: Please make yourself right at home.
Singaporeans: Don't shy, leh!

When doubting someone...
Britons: I don't recall you giving me the money.
Singaporeans: Where got?

When declining an offer...
Britons: I'd prefer no to do that, if you don't mind.
Singaporeans: Dowan, lah. (don't want)

When deciding on a plan of action...
Britons: What do you propose we do now that the movie's sold out and all the restaurants are closed?
Singaporeans: Then how?

When disagreeing on a topic of discussion...
Britons: Err. Tom, I have to stop you there. I understand where you're coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said.
Singaporeans: Le siow, ah? (are you crazy?)

When asking someone to lower their voice...
Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice, I'm trying to concentrate over here.
Singaporeans: Mai kao beh, kao bu!

When asking someone if he/she knows you...
Britons: Excuse me, but I noticed you staring at me for some time. Do I know you?
Singaporeans: Kua si mi? (What are you looking at)

At the sports arena...
Briton: I say old chap, this really isn't cricket. The umpire's really hard on him today.
S'porean: Leflea (referee) KAYU!

When asking girls...
Briton: Would you go out with me?
S'porean: Ai gia steady mai? (Be my girlfriend)

2007-11-29T01:09:00.000-08:00

Was talking to Lynn yesterday, and she was telling me how David was telling someone "You cao4 cao3 do this"

And she was like "wahhhhhh.... super long never hear this"

haha... So I decided to go online to check for "you know you are singaporean when..."

And they came up with this list for angmohs... which said "You know you've been in Singapore too long when..."

You know why this list needs the following disclaimer: "This list is intended only as an amusing, light-hearted, and exaggerated look at life in Singapore and is not meant to be taken seriously. There is no intention on the part of the authors of this list to make any untrue, misleading, or defamatory statements concerning any person in particular, nor to make any statement intended to cause offense. If any such offense has been caused, the author apologizes and retracts the offending statement. In any event, the author's NOT WORTH SUING, so don't trouble yourself."

You don't just know what "kiasu" means, you have become it!
You think that corn and beans are dessert foods.
You would cross the entire country all day to find the places that make the perfect fried noodles, or roti prata, or ice kacang,or chili crab. And none of these places would be close to each other.
You have a high tolerance for nagging.
Most or all of these acronyms make sense to you: NUS; NTU; ERP; SDU; PAP; MRT; LKY; GCT; PRC; TIBS; SBS; SMS; JB; JBJ; AMK; AYE; PIE; ECP; CTE; BKE; ISD; ISA; 5 C's; CPF; CHIJMES; SPG; CWO; LTA; URA; MOM; SIR; COE; EP; IRAS; EDB; CBD.

You wear winter clothes indoors and summer clothes outdoors.

You think that skinny girls and guys are the most attractive of all. (How did they get so skinny in the first place?? Do you know how much oil is in nasi lemak, char kuay teow, duck rice, and your average curry.)

You're sure that the best way to change social behavior is through consistent and comprehensive government-sponsored campaigns that permeate as many aspects of daily life as possible. And when they don't work, you never speak of them again.

You start to realise that despite trying a new pub/club/bar every weekend, you're never going to actually find one that's really what you're after.
You empty the whole platter of prawns onto your plate at the buffet lunch.
you think it's perfectly acceptable to drink beer out of a pint glass.
you think it's perfectly acceptable for men to drink alcopops.
You dont wear you England shirt to the game because you know that displaying flags other than singapore's in public is illegal.
You arrive at work early, and then go for an hour long breakfast.
You actually get bored of moaning and pointing out the differences between Singapore and your home country, as you've done it so many times you've lost count....
You think nothing is wrong when the staff at the Cold Storage put each article you bought in a seperate plastic bag.
You accept that 1 hour after you've taken up a Starhub mobile phone subscription someone from another company calls you trying to sell you something.
You think it's "normal" to need a passport to go to the next city.
You think it is perfectly acceptable for kids to run around on a moving MRT & whack an old lady in the face with an umbrella…in front of their parents.
You actually LIKE the Martell Cognac commercials.
You think Nash Bridges is a cool TV show.
You have forgotten what those concrete things between the road & grass are for & think it is better to walk on the street with cars passing within inches of you.
You think it is all right to stop your car & park in the middle of a lane, even better when it is only 1 lane each way & you are blocking traffic flow.
You can guiltlessly pick your nose, burp or pass gas in public.
You think the long fingernail on the little finger is not only the most useful hygiene implement, but it is also a fashion statement.
When you pass speed cameras, you slow down to 20 km BELOW the posted speed limit…just in case!
It is normal to stop at a red light 2 lanes over from a police car & both of you sit & watch as a 3rd car speeds through the red light nearly causing an accident.
You think it is ok to block off an entire "straight" lane of traffic, turning it into your own turning lane…just as long as YOU aren't inconvenienced.
You no longer think it is silly to decorate you car with stuffed animals & lace doilies or plaster bumper stickers all over it. In fact, you have been eyeing that teddy bear collection on your daughter's bedroom.
You no longer shake your head when you watch a movie that has had all the gratuitous violence edited out & the next morning see a bloody, dead body on the front page of the Straits Times.
You think Scream, Scream 2 & I Know What You Did Last Summer are all just really bad comedies.
You eat AROUND the cockroach in your curry just because it is from your favorite hawker stall.
You no longer say excuse me when you bump into someone.
When you see 2 men riding on a motorcycle together, you no longer refer to the passenger as "riding bi*ch".
Cell phones are now hand phones.
You are resigned to the fact that if you or a family member has a medical emergency, you will get to the hospital faster if you call a taxi than an ambulance.
You drive like a 4-year-old colors: outside the lines.
You no longer think outside the box.
You have reached OCBC Bank:

Your daily life revolves around this website.
You enjoy cold milk tea with bubbles. You know what bubbles and pearls are.
You have forgotten what coffee with real milk tastes like, or worse, condensed milk or powder whitener are preferred.
You think nothing of riding in a taxi along a freeway with no seatbelt on, whilst your child romps around the backseat unrestrained, when in your own country you freak out if the kids aren't buckled up to drive out of the driveway.
You feel obliged to contribute $50 to the wreath of the tea lady's 100 year old grandfather who died, because the contributions are documented on a piece of paper that circulates around the office, and you must 'save face'.
Paying $8.90 for a pint of strawberries is cheap!
Paying $10 for your favorite cereal is normal. Hitting a sale when it only costs $9.85 is your lucky day!
Any movie with Eric Roberts or Dolf Lundgren is considered a classic.
Music popular in the US when you were in high school is considered cutting edge here!
You grow your pinkie fingernail so long it could perforate your eardrum if you're not careful.
You know all the answers when you watch Singapore Wheel of Fortune. And you think it's great that Singapore finally has such a quality, home-grown TV show.
When a cabbie goes down the wrong way, you don't say, "Excuse me, I think you're mistaken." Instead, you say "Why you go that way, hah? You stoopid, what?"
You never tip anyone, even if they've gone out of their way for you.
You pay thousands of dollars on a handbag, but whinge if there isn't enough chicken in your $3 chicken rice.
Same, really - spend $200K on a new Merc, but park by the road till 9 am rather than pay $1.50 ERP.
You no longer wonder how drivers get to the kleenex housed in the decorative box covers way.....in the BACK of the car window.
You watch 'Who wants to be a millionaire ?'.... ...the MANDARIN version......
You know that when you locate your seats for a movie and they are aisle seats, that you will spend the first 15 mins of the movie moving your feet for late comers. The rest of the seats in your row are always empty when the movie starts.
You bring a blanket/ pullover to the movies because you know that you will freeze to death if you don't.You quite got around to wearing earplugs - though you know that you should.
You expect to suffer hearing loss if you are in the vicinity of any activity involving a PDA system/ sound system microphone/loudspeaker. (see movies above)
You can spot tourists a mile away and you recognise/remember/ relate to the look that they can get when they are desperately looking for the exit in Takishimaya. You know to escort them to the exit. Directions won't do it.
You no longer ask for directions, because you know that people will nod and point even though they have not understood what you have asked.
You know that if you must ask for directions to keep the key information required in the first 3-4 words. Second halves of sentences are not heard.
If there is more than one assistant in a shop, it pays to ask all of them the same question. The first may tell you that it is not stocked, the second or third will take you to where it is on the shelf - often in front of where the one who told you it is not stocked is standing.
You are not surprised that in the space of a day, because of a law change, taxi drivers have switched from looking mortally wounded, deeply offended and sometimes telling you off for buckling up,(a vote of no confidence in their driving and "bringing bad luck with bad thoughts") to barking at you, before you have even had a chance to sit down, to put on your seatbelt.
You know that if you are at a Food Court or Hawkers Stall and you have requested no sauce on your meal, you must hover vigilently so that you can stop them in time as they go to put the sauce on anyway.
Even as a shop assistant is nodding their head in response to what you have said, you are already formulating a simplified/Singlish version of what you have just said, because you know that the nodding means nothing and that it would be a miracle to be understood first time out. If you really want something until you see the light go on in their eyes. No light, noo outcome.
When talking about equipment you say "off it" or "on it", instead of "turn it off" or "turn it on".
When walking along the steet and a man puts the finger along his nose and snots on the path in front of you, rather than register disgust and nausea, you instead just make a mental note just to walk around it.
You know that if you need anything fixed in your appartment that it will mean a visit from at least 6 people and only one of them will actually be doing anything.

• Two workers - one who does the work and the other who hands him things and watches.

• A supervisor to oversee the two workers.

• A representative from the management committee to oversee what it happening and keep the committee informed

• An assistant to the representative from the management committee - just in case he needs something.
you know your passport number by heart
You understand everything on this list!!

Am watching this show... called Romantic Princess (公主小妹)

After watching this show, my first response is... 白痴啊~!!!!!!!

Cuz there was this scene where the rich guys (公子哥儿们) wanted to leave the rich palace they were living in to start their own career... without the help of their rich grandfather...

BUT 天啊~！世界上怎么会有那么白痴的人呢?~

How can they still expect to go stay at a 6 star hotel after telling their grandfather that they wanna start their own career using HIS money and HIS credit card?~!!!!!!

Really dumb... Sorry... but 公子哥儿们 just are too HIM-botic for me...

Gosh... these guys are really silly la... and the girl...

Imagine going out to look for house and look for people to borrow money from... WEARING high heels...

That is real murder~!!!! When I was in Melbourne, walking 8 hours on a pair of high heels almost killed me...

大小姐又怎么能够顶得了这种痛呢????

对不起，还是忍不住想要骂一声... 白痴啦~！！！！！！

Outing with my favourite girlssssss

Congratulations to my ardent blog fan aka Marcus Cheong (Just Kidding) for the completion of his exams~!!!!

Went to the city today with a few of my favourite girls... Jaclyn, Cheahyen, and SuErn... and Su Ern's friend (Phoebe) who was visiting from Singapore...

First we went to buy some stuff from Woolworths... For Jac's parents... and Cheah yen's parents... Then met up with Su Ern and Phoebe, then we went to Supre~

Tried on some really cute clothes, which, according to Jac, has interesting writing...

Su Ern's sooooo lovely la.... "That's major"

I'm too pretty for homework~!!!! AMEN~!!!!!!

Says Kiss and Tell... Unfortunately I can only get the "Kiss"...

Jaclyn and I~!!!!! In a funny hat~!!!! Really blessed to have you :)

Then we progressed to white hats which looked slightly nicer~ Still I realised that Asians can't pull off hats/caps well...

We tried on hairbands just before the shop closed... :) Though you can't see much of it, BUT they were really pretty hairbands, tho pretty expensive... Like $13.95

Camwhoring with Cheah Yen~

Camwhoring again~! Jac, Cheahyen and I

At the end of the day, we were slugging around with really painful feet and tired souls... Yet was a fruitful day~ I was becoming more and more manja, like a blueberry cheesecake...

But all in all...

Love you girls... :)

2007-11-20T05:54:00.000-08:00

Guy hurts girl...

Guy asks girl... will this experience make you lose trust in guys in the future?

Girl: Duh... it's like cutting off someone's hand and ask "oei... pain or not"

Haha... just thought that was funny...

This dog is awesome~!!!!!!! Haha... She's sooooo cute... imagine a super hyperactive dog running in my house... gosh... it's gonna be soooo adorable~!!!!!

*Gushes* Can't wait for a dog... can't wait for my own house... Can't wait for my multimillionaire to appear~!!!!!!

2007-11-19T07:35:00.000-08:00

I am super excited~!!!!! OK... Xuande, my bimbotic self is surfacing again...

Ppl who know me well know that I go extremely crazy over eye make up... I mean... that's the only thing I do to my face~ OK I'm lying... Because I do put lip gloss as well... That's about it all...

Every Sunday... procedure

1) Pull down eyelids and put eye liner on inner lid... (People find that this hurts their eyes... BUT I really really love putting eyeliner on my inner lid... It makes your eyes look bigger... It really does~!)

2) Curl eye lashes

3) Put mascara on my extremely ugly and short and sparse asian eyelashes... I agree with Xia Xue on this point... Chinese have extremely ugly, short and sparse eyelashes... AND I always have hope that the mascara lengthens my eyelashes... AND I have 3-4 coats of mascara each time... BIG BIG fan of mascara...

4) Curl eye lashes again

5) Compare eyes... haha and go "wow what a good job"

6) Skip step 5, I was just kidding... do up the other eye and put eyeshadow according to colour of clothes worn...

AND I always had problems putting on fake eyelashes~!!!! Thanks to this... I can put on nice eyelashes now... and hopefully look nice...

Pray that this day comes :)

2007-11-19T00:37:00.000-08:00

Finished the last exam of my school life... IF I securely pass this paper, I'd have graduated... Ask me how I feel??? I really don't know... The feeling of not having to go back to uni anymore, going into the workforce... It scares me... The uncertainty of the future... What's next??? Pharmacy 777 Maylands... Then??? Singapore??? Melbourne??? Maybe not Perth... Maybe UK??? The uncertainty...

BUT I'm not worried, cuz I know God will make a way... For me...

Was walking all alone at uni yesterday... Walking from EJ to Building 408... And it struck me. This will be the last time I'll walk all alone in uni... This is going to be the last time that I'll be studying at uni... And this will be the last time I see the people I see at uni... It was serene, and quiet... That walk... Really cuz it was a Sunday... But it really struck me that it was going to be the last time I do something like that...

How many times have I walked alone in uni, just appreciating the surroundings??? None... The fast paced walk to lectures have overtaken the time I took off to appreciate my surroundings... I have been so blessed, yet I do not know...

After exams I went to meet up with Keith and Jin Chuan... This is the last time I'll see Keith in Perth... Maybe??? Gonna miss him heaps~!!!!! We've known each other for 5 yrs now... and all I can say is, I've been so so blessed... Though we had that misunderstanding in Canning College, I must really say that your friendship has blessed me so so much... Thank you for being a big brother to me, and always remembering my birthday... I've been so blessed... Sharing with me... even though we might be on wrong frequencies... Teaching me so much... Am soooo gonna miss you...

With Jin Chuan and Keith

At church... Xin Rui's going back home too... soon... Gonna miss you girl...

2007-11-18T04:42:00.000-08:00

Really really annoy me...

Mark Schultz - Walking Her Home Lyrics

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you'll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground

(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son

His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes

And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night

(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side

A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out

But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

2007-11-13T17:22:00.000-08:00

Dad messaged me on Sunday night

"Dear please sleep early tonight and have enough energy for your exams tomorrow, daddy and mummy always with you"

It put a tear in my eyes... My daddy and mummy are the 2 ppl who love me most on earth...

And it put a thought to my mind...

Why is it that to them I am treated like a princess, yet I allow myself to be stepped over, treated like dirt by SOME people around me? They will never break my heart, instead I break theirs... Yet SOME people just treat my heart like dirt... At least my daddy and mummy know how important I am to them...

And so does God...

So what right do SOME people have to treat me like a piece of dirt? I seriously don't know, and all I can do is to ask them to reconsider that... I am a princess oK??? IN the LEONG kingdom, and in the GOD kingdom...

Because from today onward, Kaiting will NOT be a plank for people to walk over...

From today onward, I will be strong. Focussing on His kingdom. From today onward, I will NOT be a pushover. Tough luck those who think I'm gonna be easy to bully. Because guess what?

It's over

And to my dear dear cousin *HugZ* U looking prettier and prettier... I'm serious~!!!! I think it just runs in the family la... hehe... Continue to seek God and He will give you the plans that He revealed for you to be. And I believe he'll map out your God given destiny for you... Dear girl, I Know that you will emerge stronger... with wings more beautiful than the most beautiful butterfly on earth. Always know that God has great plans for you... and that He has never never ever let you go... Take your relationship a further step, Fall more and more in love with Him. Learn to lean on Him and worship him. Because that is what He yearns to have with you... Be led by the spirit. Then you will experience fullness of life and abundant joy... I love you my dear...

I really do...

2007-11-11T07:58:00.000-08:00

I am tired of being a nice girl

That's it...

No more being a nice girl...

No more trying to please people...

2007-11-04T08:30:00.000-08:00

如果想哭我自己会找地方
你不必担心我会弄湿你肩膀
走在街上到处是寂寞的人
我想谁都不要同情的眼光

受一点伤并不是可怕的事
人就是这样才会愈来愈坚强
谁叫男人永远比女人清楚
爱情它何时该收何时该放

你走吧我不哭无论多痛苦
你走吧我不哭就算会迷路

明天一个人的我依然会微笑
虽然它或许也是伤心的开始
爱情的轮回总是一次又一次
是悲是喜终将都变成往事

明天一个人的我依然会微笑
那怕早已没有人记得我名字
别问我为何执迷不悟的尝试
女人生来就多这么一点痴

This is such a nice song~!!!!! BUT I don't have it... :(

2007-11-01T02:58:00.000-07:00

Once again this has shown me how blessed I am :)

Anyway, no point talking about something that has already passed... :) so we'll talk about what she asked me...

Sorry for those who can't read chinese~!!!!!

1）

湖面上有五只天鹅在游泳。
忽然之间，四只不见。

猜句成语

2）

周杰伦驾着一辆van
在动物园驾着，载了许多动物。
唯有一只他死都不肯载。
请问是哪儿一只动物

hint: 答案在他的歌龙卷风的chorus

3)

周杰伦去你家偷了一只鸽子
请问他回家过后
藏在屋子里的哪儿一个角落

hint: 答案在他的歌屋顶的chorus

In life you have 2 choices

1 is to be bitter

2 is to be better

I choose 2

2007-10-17T06:23:00.000-07:00

Would you laugh at me if I told you I love you???

Would you deny me from loving you at all???

BUT... I do love you...

Every single one of you :)

And you, and you, and you, and you~! all of you~!

Uh huh... and you and you and you too :)

Crazy times... taken by Crazee Cindy :) Thanks

Let's break up.

It's over.

I never want to see you again.

It was a mistake from the start.

Good bye.

She slams the door, he walks away.

Tears roll down her cheeks, he slams the car door and hits the steering wheel.

Hearts with anguish.

With a sweep of her hand, she sweeps everything that's on the table onto the floor.

With a heart of brokenness she burns up his photos, and tears up all the love letters he gave to her.

She deletes his number

He deletes her number

She takes out her drinks.

He goes to a bar.

She calls up her friends.

He calls up his mates.

She goes her way.

He goes his way.

That's life nowadays. Just a thought, because that's what we see in movies, in life. A lady I know argued with her husband and the first thing that came to mind - That's it. I cannot be with you. Let's break up. Why plan a wedding so hard, and then decide to break up? Why jump into a relationship when you know that in the end you are still going to break up?

What's marriage to you? What's marriage to the world?

I really don't know what it has become.

Indeed, like Pastor Joyce said, the world's become disposable.

2007-09-05T08:01:00.000-07:00

I've got a job. I've got a job. I've got a job. I've got a job.

A permanent job.

Woweeeeeeee....

At Pharmacy 777 in Maylands~!!!!!!!!!

For my 2000 hours... Looks like Perth, it's another year of staying here and living up to expectations~!!!!!

I suddenly found a little more direction... That's what's keeping me goin...

Thank you Lord

Just posting up a few of my favourite faces...

Nil, Kaiting, Mama...

When we decided to look cute...

The "sombong" face~!!!! Don't know if i spelt it correctly... It means dao...

I love this photo~!!!!! Don't annoy me... I don't just bite... BUT I kill...
Seriously, I do love this photo... hehe...
Can you imagine me as a professional killer??? That was one of my ambitions when I was little...

Jaclyn shared something very interesting at cell group 2 weeks ago...

Chemistry: Jesus turned water into wine
Biology: Jesus was born of a virgin
Physics: Jesus defied the laws of gravity and ascended into heaven
History: Jesus is the beginning and the end

(somewhere along the lines)-- I might have muddled it up a little...

And I'd like to add something else to the list

Referencing: The bible teaches us how to reference properly

Imagine : "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish BUT have everlasting life"
vs
John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish BUT have everlasting life"

Seng and I were having a decent conversation. And the topic came to dogs, because e dog came into the house and was sitting beside the heater. (Poor dog, it must be cold)

S: So do you ever let your dog lick your face?
T: *duh* of course la
S: Gosh can't stand it... I mean licking my hands and feet are OK, but licking my face, that's just gross...
T: How about lips?
S: Are you crazy? That's like making out with your dog~!!!!
T: LOL

Seriously... I think I laughed for bout 1 min... and I still can't get over it... Gosh... I wouldn't exactly describe my dog licking me as making out with it...

GrinZ... THAT was a funny statement

The importance in the role of pharmacists

2007-08-21T10:01:00.000-07:00

For decades, pharmacists have been shunned upon. Words have been said which demean them just because they are not given the license to prescribe, or even change doses given by doctors.

This includes "What would you know? You're just a pharmacist."

This further includes all the crap and rudeness pharmacists have to endure while patiently telling doctors that they have written the wrong dose, or there has been an interaction.

BUT

Let me further highlight the importance of the role of pharmacists.

Pharmacists are involved in checking for dosages, checking for adverse drug reactions, understanding your profile, helping you change your lifestyle management so that you are able to get the maximum advantage from your treatment.

Let me give an example of a patient who is now in hospital, and she is dear to me.

Mrs X, 83 yrs old. NO case of High blood pressure, BP 130/85. Went to a doctor, Doctor put her on Norvasc 2.5mg (which is a tablet for high blood pressure). Mrs X is a paranoid old lady. She loves taking tablets even though there's nothing wrong with her. Went to another doctor. Spoke to the doctor about it, and the doctor, even though seeing her on Norvasc, put her on ANOTHER blood pressure medication, called Natrilix, which is a diuretic.

Now... The threshold for High Blood Pressure is 140/90? or something like that.

Still, Mrs X is old.

Doctor, knowing that it is a new drug, didn't let her know more about the drug. Didn't let her know that the drug has the potential to cause electrolyte disturbances. 2 days into the medication, Mrs X started feeling nauseous and throwing up. 3 days later she started feeling faint, dizzy, and had to lie down. 4 days later she started hallucinating, seeing ants around etc. 5 days later she fell down 4 times in a day.

All signs of electolyte disturbance.

She has since been admitted to hospital since yesterday.

NOW... If it was done by a pharmacist, pharmacist would
1) Ask the patient for a BP reading
2) Check for previous medications
3) Realised that patient is put on 2 blood pressure medications, ask the patient why so
4) Counselled a patient on how to take it, the relevant side effects.
5) Given the patient a Consumer Medical Information to bring home to read, which will give her the side effects, and given her directions on how to use them.

After this incident, I have realised the worth of pharmacists. Yes, I totally felt beforehand that what I was doing was a crap job. NOT only is the pay low for a professional, there's no where to go, no ladder to climb. NOT only do we have to accept crap from doctors, we have to deal with them and learn to adjust our expectations. Also there's LITTLE social respect from people, from customers who expect things and yell at us.

True, I am not able to prescribe medications, BUT I can diagnose.
True, all I can do is dispense, BUT I can counsel.

However, eventually I can give the best treatment regime to the patient to the best of my ability, and help out my patients to the best I can. In order to prevent these possibilities that happened to Mrs X. I can make a difference to society. I realised that no matter what people say, pharmacists do make a huge difference to society.

Am NOT gonna let society get me down. Neither am I going to let this incident that happened to Mrs X get me down.

Because God has put me in this position, and I am determined to live up to it.

Guys... (And girls of course) please help me out with this...

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Where in the Nursery Rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg...? and also how come we always think it broke its head???

Hehe... Please use the comment function not the tag board...

Love
Kaiting

Anyway just side tracking... How come everyone around me are getting attached???? hehe... Huiyi and I were saying we're gonna be the only "lao3 gu1 po2" left on the Earth... But don't get me wrong... am happy for all of you~!!!!!!

Sha, Me and Jason were on the way to Emma's seafood to buy stuff for her steamboat dinner on Friday...

And in an attempt to help Jase, I spilled Superglue all over my fingers, and my bag. There was 1 spot on my jeans too.

Difference between a guy and a girl?

Jase: "Aaaaaaaaaaa Your hands!!!!!"

Me: "Aaaaaaaaaaaa My BAG!!!!!!!"

2007-08-06T08:19:00.001-07:00

Everyone around me are finding jobs...

Most of my close friends have secured their 2000 hour positions...

I have to admit...

I...

AM...

SCARED...

Scared of the possibility of not finding a job, even more scared of the impending possibility of not getting a job, not getting PR, having to go back to Malaysia, and my life becoming 不三不四... as a result of not getting my registration... Not getting a PR...

I am scared... I really am...

Do Not Worry

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[a]?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

This song is beautiful... Listen and reflect on the lyrics... :)

You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
You may feel you're far from home
BUT home is where he is
He'll be there down EVERY road...
You will never walk alone...

Message from one of my friends...

"昨天和你谈天的时候看得出你有心事。原来咱们家的小公主想家了。明天就是你爸的生日了，记得打电话回家吧！保重。记得和耶稣谈天啊！"

So touched when I received this... really really... esp. when it's in Chinese...

You know who you are...

Thank you...

Am truly blessed

当你开始对皮毛小事担心的时候，你就发现你已经长大了。。。

当你发现因为钱不够用而不能放弃工作时，你长大了。。。

当你开始为自己的将来打算时，你长大了。。。

梁凯婷发现。。。她长大了。。。

2007-07-29T10:21:00.000-07:00

想回到过去。。。

好想好想。。。

Go back to the days where things were simpler and not so complicated... Maybe like when I was 5???

家。。。

世上只有妈妈好．．．

that's the truth... ONLY mummy (and maybe daddy and maybe da jie jie, er jie jie and ah wei) will be nice to me...

爱情抗体．．．

妈妈我爱你．．．*当离开了你想说给你听,哦妈妈我爱你*

明天也要作伴．．．

我们怎么了．．．*我搞不懂, 我们到底怎么了?*

幸福背后... *越是幸福越害怕, 怕它会结束*

好多好多歌曲都在形容我的感想...

SOS... 慧怡你在哪里?????? I need some tender hugs and warm fuzzies... :'(　

2007-07-29T07:58:00.001-07:00

Was in the car back from Zion Food Fest with Jon and Iris...

突然讲起933。。。

and we came up with these catch phrases from 933...

"我喜欢试穿牛仔裤五次的你。我喜欢这么多，这么多的你，你又会把我放在心里的哪里呢？" Guess what programme?

“933 最新频道”

“今天是你的生日，让我为你唱一首歌，陪你渡过美丽的时刻。　播不停的音乐，　唱不完的好歌，九三三最新频道，祝你生日快乐”

林灵芝，陈丽仪，周重庆... our well known D-Js... :)

Miss home... Miss 933... Tuesday's Daddy's birthday... wish I could go back to surprise him...

BUT so many things coming up... How to go home...???

Job search still going on... yawn... Keep me in your prayers k????

2007-07-26T09:38:00.000-07:00

Thank God for the results I got for my oral exam...

Didn't deserve them... BUT He still gave it to me...

Am SOOOOO blessed... NO supp paper, NO fail...

Was super discouraged on Tuesday, after I left the examination room... Cuz I couldn't diagnose the OTC case (It was scabies)... Neither did I give correct answer when Jenny asked me about the mode of action of Diabex... GOSH I even thought it was a sulfonylurea, when it was obviously the bi-guanite Metformin... (Sorry bout the jargon here guys)... I almost cried~ I couldn't even answer properly how to dispense medication for an emergency doctors bag supply for a doctor I couldn't recognise...

AND so I went for a little bit of retail therapy ;)

AND got this bag... A black A4 size bag to put all my stuff...

Man never knew that when a girl buys on impulse... SHE REALLY BUYS HER WAY THROUGH... It is NOT NOT NOT funny... I was so tempted to buy all the bags I saw... 1 red one, 1 black one... and this bag... Took me so much effort to restrain myself~!!!!!

Am so totally in the mood for A4 sized bags now...

:)

缺氧

春天慢慢一点点发芽
快乐开始都有了想像
旋转木马前那个广场
爱情开始滋长
想你有时会缺氧
嘴角不自觉上扬
这是不是幸福的症状
不知不觉又缺氧
无法移动的梦想
就算没有人鼓掌
我也不会受伤
不会稀释的信仰
心穿越砖墙
在你的身旁
想你有时会缺氧
嘴角不自觉上扬
这是不是幸福的症状
胸口微微得发烫
不知不觉又缺氧

2007-07-16T08:09:00.000-07:00

I am so amazed by this...

I wish I had learnt about it before Max went back to Singapore... Then I'd have asked him to help me get "anything" and "whatever"

http://www.marketing-interactive.com/news/1505

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anything_and_Whatever_(soft_drinks)

Suits girls like me... who can't make up their mind about what to eat and what to drink~!!!!!

The next time before you say "anything" lor or "whatever" lor... Remember to think twice~!

My 2nd sister got Carbonated Green tea before~

haha...

Anything lor...

2007-07-15T07:49:00.000-07:00

This is funny... very funny...

BUT... while I was thinking of what Bishop TD Jake preached... I thought of this...

Love

2007-07-15T00:51:00.000-07:00

Was going to delete my previous post... due to increasing amount of blog readers... :P Who come up after church to talk abt my post :P

BUT after seeing the comment from Adz... Decided not to cuz it's so precious to me... Thanks my dear... I am learning... :)

Pastors brought back this DVD from Hillsongs... and it was by Bishop TD Jakes... Played during church today...

I was touched... God really really spoke to me... Like how people are always standing on a lower level cuz they are never daring to go up to a higher level...

He put the number 100 in a new perspective

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10
11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20
21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30

Yep indeed 100 is just a series of 10s on a higher level... Why do we stay on 10s on the lower level, never daring to go to 1s on the higher level??? That is why people stay stagnant...

It really spoke to me... Learn how to let go of the 10s on your lower level and start small from your higher level again... God was awesome... He was telling me to let go... of things in my life...

Then Bishop Jakes brought up this story of this eagle which was killed... Because it had picked up a weaver for lunch, but the weaver was biting into its chest and it refused to let go... So it died...

Learning how to let go... is hard... BUT if I don't let go... I'll die... spiritually and emotionally...

It was awesome... It spoke deep into my heart... And after church... Marcus came and said "Don't harden your heart... let go"<-- tho in a joking manner (I think)

But it was really what I wanted to hear...

Thank God for awesome speakers... and awesome friends...

2007-07-14T08:48:00.000-07:00

Do not put your hope in man, but instead put your trust in God... cuz man will disappoint you, but God will never...

Kexin's nickname on MSN: I have been learning

haha... I have to learn too...

First year here... A good guy friend of mine suddenly ignored me... Weird... we were talking on the phone, talking at school everyday... and suddenly ignored me... It passed... Time passed... I grew up... I cried...

4th year here... A good guy friend of mine, smsed me everyday... And one day he just stopped... He didn't stop caring, he just stopped sms-ing me... I cried...

5th year here... A good guy friend of mine stopped sms-ing me too~ He stopped caring? Maybe he did...

Maybe should learn how to stop being such good friends with guys...

It is time to grow up...

Remembering the bible verse in my heart... Maybe it is time I harden my heart...

Happy birthday Iris and Chin Seng~!!!!!

2007-07-12T07:42:00.001-07:00

对你有感觉
江美琪vs光良

我曾深刻体会对爱感到胆怯
还好有懂我的你给我安慰
看你失落的脸又再为爱憔悴
我心痛的感觉竟如此的强烈
眼角的泪它给过谁
伤透了心也无所谓
我会愿意静静地陪在你身边
如果说爱已不可为
那我宁愿藏心里面
其实我害怕会失去你的感觉
怎么会开始对你有了感觉
又深怕朋友默契转身不见
矛盾着犹豫不决
没准备跨越爱的界线
怎么会开始对你(你)有了感觉
深陷朋友恋人之间的危险
进与退被爱包围谁犯规都狼狈
谁能解围让一切完美
怎么会开始对你(你)有了感觉
深陷朋友恋人之间的危险
你和我拥抱瞬间不后悔这暧昧
星光唯美把爱放心里面
把爱放心里面
把爱放心里面
把爱放心里面

The princess turns 21...

2007-06-19T03:45:00.000-07:00

All fairytales will contain a ball... Cinderella went to the ball... Sleeping Beauty and Snow white both had balls at her wedding...

Same for my fairytale... NOT so much a ball... BUT close enough...

Of course U might wonder what kind of fairytale I'm talking about... BUT I believe in God... So He's the writer of my life... and so that makes my life a fairytale... :)

My birthday has been full of surprises... Pleasant surprises...

15/06

My darlings surprised me~!!!!!!!!! U know how blessed I was???? VERY~!!!!! Were supposed to meet them for dinner... and they bought a cake, hid it from me, and they surprised me with a bouquet of flowers~!!!!!!! Am doubly blessed~!!!!! I love you guys... :)

This is from them :)

16/06

Dinner with Daniel... Went to this really posh restaurant in Mosman Park... I was fidgiting non stop cuz it was too posh for my liking...

But anyway, this is my present from him~!!!!

It's a photo frame

17/06

Morning... Cell members made me cry...

Not in a bad way... BUT a good one...

It's a photo album, made by Pia, customised by cell members' messages towards me...

One page made me cry...

It said "Just a few lives you've impacted"...
Beautiful to know that your efforts have been appreciated... esp from people working closest to you... have been very very blessed...

Then... later at night...

Got home from work... Really tired, cuz I've been working non-stop for 14 days... (And the days carry on... Cuz I get to rest 1 day in 21 days...) And anyway, my sister stopped me from showering... Cuz she said I had to eat dinner first... and so I did... Ate dinner... and me being the fast eater, was done by about 10... and sis made me wash the dishes... Didn't mind cuz I like to wash dishes... So I finished washing and went to shower... so I could watch a movie at 10:30...

So whilst showering my faithful pal was barking outside... warning me of the inadvertent disaster that was coming...

After showering I had a short chat with Da jie jie regarding Marjorie and Meredith, All about Brian(I think) and Greys Anatomy... Cuz I still can't get head or tail if Marjorie is from Greys Anatomy or Meredith...

Anyway I burst out "Gosh why did she go back to that loser~!!!!!!"

Opened my room door...

And screamed...

Cuz they decided to give me a surprise... Turned off my room light... and prepared a birthday cake... Man I thought I saw ghosts in my room~!!!!! It took me some time to get over the shock...

Pre-ordered Cinderella cake... Thanks girl... I said it just for fun... and U really remembered it~!!!!! I can't believe that I have to turn 21 before it's the first time I get a cartoon character cake in my whole life...

Self explanatory. In my room

Ling... Ting... Xin...

My musical frog from Priscilla... Gosh... U know how amazing??? I've always wanted a wind up musical thing for this birthday... I only told Iris... and Tim... NO ONE else knew about it... and she bought it for me... It's awesome...

People who surprised me... Plus my musical frog...
Back: Seng, Jack, Wei Yue, Lawrence, (Don't Wei Yue and Lawrence look alike here) Jimmy, Lewis

心动

有多久没见你
以为你在那里
原来就住在我的心底
陪伴着我的呼吸

有多远的距离
以为闻不到你的气息
谁知道你背影这么长
回头就看到你

过去让它过去
来不及
从头喜欢你
白云缠绕着蓝天
如果
不能够永远都在一起
也至少给我们
怀念的勇气
拥抱的权利
好让你明白
我心动的痕迹

过去让它过去
来不及
从头喜欢你
白云缠绕着蓝天
如果
不能够永远都在一起
也至少给我们
怀念的勇气
拥抱的权利
好让你明白
我心动的痕迹
总是想再见你
还试着打探你的消息
原来
你就住在我的身体
守护我的回忆

2007-06-05T08:34:00.000-07:00

For my birthday...

I want a

House... with a lane that leads to the front door... and toadstools growing around... with little fairies playing in the grass...

For my birthday... I want a car...

My best impression of a mini cooper~!!!!! Sorry I think I got an F for art...

So if U can't buy me neither... Don't get me a birthday present...

Because...

Words can't express how blessed I am to know you... :)

Oh U are allowed to get me flowers tho... drown me in lilies~!!!!! hehe kidding la...

BUT... everyone... I want to take this chance to say...

I love you :)

2007-06-05T08:20:00.000-07:00

Realised that everyone's been laughing at my secondary school photos... hehe let me now upload some more for U guys to laugh at...

Wei and I on our first trip to Perth... at Freo

Mummy, I, da jie jie, wei and papa... U guys can see how much I've grown since 11... :)

Wei and I at the Pinnacles in June 1997

Wei, da jie jie, Jenny and I on exactly 5 days before my 11th birthday

Me... on my 10th birthday... 18/6/1996

Day 3... How blessed I was

2007-06-03T19:54:00.000-07:00

Headed up to Busselton before heading for home...

all I can say is...

WOW...

Wow... the scenery was breath-taking...

Wow... The walk on the jetty was LONG but refreshing...

Wow... I was so blessed...

Busselton beach

Busselton Jetty... Look at the long long long long jetty...

We walked to the end~!!!!!!! 2km of exercise :)

The vast ocean(or sea????)

I was blessed because it was sunny... fine weather...

I was blessed because of the ocean that I love... the clear waters really blew my mind...

I was blessed because I saw people catch sotong...

I was blessed because... I saw my favourite animals in the wild~!!!!!! Dolphins~!!!!! They were just swimming around and I saw them swimming cuz the water was so clear... Saw their fins... saw them come up to get some air... Saw them swim randomly...

I am a girl... who as been blessed...

BY A GREAT GOD

:)

Day 2... Headed up to Dunsborough

2007-05-31T04:14:00.001-07:00

Day 2~!!!!

We headed for the cascades...

Beautiful beautiful limestones with water running down the stones... Wish I could say the scenery was breathtaking... Sorry but no... it could do with some maintenance... BUT the water was coldddddd

Then we drove on and saw...

Persimmon trees~!!!!!!! Jack's mum was very excited... :)

Then we went to the Beethelup falls... Don't know why I didn't take a photo of the water... maybe cuz I wasn't standing at a good angle...

BUT...

2 beautiful girls standing beside the falls...

Then... we drove on to a winery called the Voyager Estate...

Had lunch there... The scenery was breathtaking...

That's where I want to have a date.... That's where I want to hold my wedding... That's where all beautiful things start and end... (Well I'm just kidding) But seriously... It's a nice place to have a date...

Then we headed for Dunsborough beach...

The sea was beautiful... clear water... :)

I must say that I didn't actually think that Australia had chalets... BUT they do...

In Dunsborough...

It was a 1.5 storey house, with 1 decent master bedroom, and the "attic" had 4 single beds with very very very ward comforter...

The fireplace... Wowwwww... this is the first time I've actually seen a fireplace in my entire life... :)

The Master Bedroom... This was actually taken on day 3, when all the facilities had already been fully utilised...

Just came back from a trip from down south... With Jack, Da Jie Jie, his parents and his nephew...

Lots of interesting incidents happened along the way...

Day 1

We set off at 8:00am and drove on... After 2 hours we got to Bunbury... then we drove on for a further... 2 hours? and we stopped at a place called Manjimup Chinese restaurant for lunch, cuz Jack's dad insisted on having chinese.

What are your first thought??? When I saw it I thought it wasn't open... cuz the curtains were all drawn... until I saw the open sign...

Went in, sat down, ate a plate of fried noodles and fried chow meehoon...

They provided a super super huge portion of noodles BUT it tasted horrible... the fried bee hoon had no salt (NO TASTE) and the noodles were too salty~!!!!!!!

That was all we had and guess what the bill turned out to be???

Da Jie Jie: $41
Jack's Nephew (Let's call him man zai) : $65-75
Kaiting: $35

Your guess???

$74.50 for 6 people...

OUCH~!~!!!!! We were very unhappy though... Firstly... we didn't ask for a 1.5 portion, they just took it into their own hands to do 1.5 portion for everyone... and who on earth charges $2 for a cup of chinese tea???? That's just crazy~!!!!!!

So the moral of the story??? NEVER go to manjimup chinese restaurant for food...

Then we went to this place called the diamond tree... the 3rd(I think) highest look out place... U could climb all the way up... it was SCARY... Imagine climbing 52m above ground and looking down... Sorry it's just not for me... I only climbed like 10 steps??? Max 20... and I already couldn't take it... Don't blame me for being scared of heights~!!!! haha...

I admit I do have a big butt

Looking up~!!!!!!! Does it make u nauseous??? hehe

Next we drove on to Pemberton...

WE checked into a quaint little cottage house with 3 bed rooms, 2 having 1 double bed each and 1 having a double deck bed and 1 single bed... I absolutely adore the house even tho it doesn't have very nice bathroom and toilet... (Maybe cuz the tiles were green and the water had no pressure coming out of the shower head) BUT...

Where do you find a chalet with electric blankets in bed, a nice kitchen (mind you with utensils provided and stove, microwave and fridge... and even salt and pepper lest you needed to cook), a fireplace, TV and DVD player, plus towels and face towels and even hangers included...?????

They even had a backyard and bbq stove included~!!!!! The surrounding nature was beautiful... Lush green grass with chickens, sheep, dogs, and even a lop eared rabbit that I affectionately call bit bit (In my mind)

And saw a robin~!!!!!

nuff said :)

We headed down to a trout pond where we fished for trout...

Trouts jumping in water~!!!!! (Wish I could have gotten a shot of that)

And what did we get???

Yummy trout...

Headed home... :)

George and I~!!!!!! I remember the first day I met him... I spoke... a little... and then assumed every guy standing behind the post counter was George~!!!!! Then the next day I went in to work, I called the next postman (who ended up being someone else) George... it was EMBARASSING...

Break my heart for what breaks yours...

Frances brought up this point... Really really touched me...

Break my heart for what breaks yours, daddy...

:)

By the way, did I tell you guys how touched I am by my cell members????

Due to mysterious reasons, I cried after church yesterday... (AND the reasons are really mysterious, not many know, only probably 1/2 of the whole church do)

And after that Lewis comes up to me... with a really really concerned look on his face...

"KT, are you OK???"

And me, being me, obviously goes "Ya... I'm OK"

And everytime he looks at me, he's got this really really concerned face, which makes me want to hug him (with sisterly love, cuz he looks like this adorable little kid), mixed with worry... which makes me really thankful that I've got a cell member like that~

After baptism, Lewis came up to me and goes "Kaiting, can I pray for you???"

SO SWEET CAN?????? And I was so touched~!!!!!!!!!

And at night, Frances msges me and goes "Kaiting are you oK????"

Gosh... Really really really, my heart just melted... :) Am really blessed by my cell members...

And am really blessed that at church there was my sister to cry with me...

:) BUT... as I promised myself, and God... I will learn to be stronger... Like grasp on tightly and not let go... and yet not be a cry baby anymore...
