Don't mind me, I'm actually having a fun time blogging, because I've not written in my journal/ diary for a long time too!
1.Just had a fun time with XL. haha. my starbucks partner in crime. Starbucks had a promotion today. Buy one frappe get one free. And then there's the stuff we bought from daisol. calorie guilty trips.
2. Tab's party was yesterday. It's nice to be able to play childhood games with my girls. haha. a bunch of 21 year olds with two 18 year olds and one 15 year old playing AEIOU and mr wolf is hilarious. Plus all the jumping shots which unfortunately failed.
3. Met up with Jia Min and Becca. Wasn't a proper meet up, but nevertheless, we still had time to catch up. We must meet up again soon! oh, and Daniel too. He was 5 minutes late.
4. Conference- i shall spare the details. But staying in school with my groupie practicing was memorable.
5. Watched Inkheart a few weeks ago with YH. Its a great to meet up with long lost friends. But the poor chap is back in sydney.
So, just for record sake, I need to remember. Need to repeatedly retrieve and encode it into my LTM.
7 weeks and it's finally over. I have been rejoicing openly. But I owe thank yous.
I thought that the last 7 weeks were one of the hardest I went through. Could be that I'm not mature enough, not smart enough, not resilient enough. Compared to what many others in the world go through, i guess this wouldn't be much. In fact, probably many would give up just to be in my place, to have some form of occupation, to be studying and not worrying about finances I had to keep reminding myself that suffering produces perserverance, and that perserverance must finish its work so that i will be mature and complete, not be lacking anything (James 1: 2-4) But try as i might, it was hard to keep my own spirits upbeat, to keep myself from crying week after week. Literally, I don't ever think I've cried so much in my life. Don't even think I've cried as much in the past 2 years as I have in 6 weeks. Thank you mummy and sis for being there for me, for drying my tears each time they came and for letting me cry. For all the lovely smses too my mother sent. It's funny, cause my mum just learnt to sms not to long ago. And my dad, who makes the effort to send me when he's back in Singapore. It's sooo awfully far Thank you too, to all my friends who've encouraged me in their small ways. Mag and Jia xuan for telling me to jia you every morning Mag, Kinny, Ness and Nac for sending me everything related to hands Val, Cher, Khad, Dexter, Jess, Becca, King, Zhen and others if i've forgotten for sending me lovely smses. Val and Dexter esp for coming all the way down to have lunch with me. (anyway, the avacado smootie wasn't all that nice :( ) My cell girls and the church prayer group for praying, for being consistent in meeting up. I looked forward to cell and bible study every single week! It meant that i got through the week. hahaha Cheryl for meeting me, and knowing that you were working hard too or every harder helped.
Strangely enough, I'm thankful to my supervisors. They are nice people. The reason why I had such a hard time would be simply cause I can't measure up. Not their fault at all.
Finally, thankful to God. It was amazing that on one night, I was feeling really down and yet i had to stay up to do my lit review, prepare slides and script for FYP/conference but I wasn't tired at all. I found this source of renewed strength. I managed to stay up all the way till 4.30. And the many times after crying, somehow there was that strength to keep going on, and not to throw in the towel despite thoughts of giving up running through my head. Really- I know that it's not my own strength that has brought me through.
The extra week, though has brought a sense of closure. The room tidying has resulted in the massive tearing of 7 weeks worth of documentation. My room needs further tidying. I need to punch holes and file them proper. ahahah. I hope the neat freak in me comes out again. It has stayed dormant for more than a decade. And please, goad me to exercise like mad, to rest like mad and to not damage my sleep deprived calorie laden body further.

i think i'm going back to sleep. wake me up when i'm 30. I think that will make up for all the lack of sleep. It'll heal my body and heart from the lack of sleep, the improper meals and all the hard work.
Every year they stand at the track area outside the LT to take a photo of them looking so formal and pretty. I'm glad i wasn't there to spoil it all. funny that on the last day of official school i had to hide in the toilet.
25 random things about sarah. I wonder why everyone is doing it, but ah, it should be fun.
1. I am random. (that's why i'm doing it) 2. I like to ask random questions 3. If anything, I prefer train rides to long bus rides. Riding on the bus alone makes me emo. 4. I kill spiders. ahahha. they are dangerous creatures. They take revenge 5. I like to go on adventure trips 6. Purposive shopping for clothes makes me tired and grumpy. I prefer buying clothes when i happen to see something nice, instead of constantly looking for something nice 7. I have about 7-8 pairs of shoes, and they serve me well. Almost. 8. My stuffed rabbit, Peter, is at least 17 years old. It's that old. 9. My secondary school ambition was to be a dishwasher. I like washing dishes. It's therapeutic. And i wanted to make a million bucks out of dishwashing. Have no idea how though 10. My junior and me meet twice a year. I'm glad God made us friends 11. I have a love hate relationship with my youth group. love them lots, and hate to lose any of them. 12. Me and XL have gone to starbucks for 100% of our dates. that's a record worth keeping. 13. Jia min and me did quiet time together for 14 days:) i think. We were always almost the earliest to wake up during our mission trip. 14. I miss KM, all the people i met and the sights i saw 15. I would like to be a housekid currently. Don't want to be a housewife, cause won't ever make a good wife. But i'd like to be able to stay at home to do housework soon. 16. I drool in my sleep, when i'm so very very tired 17. Me and my sister have sister talks often 18. I like rum and raisin ice cream and rum and raisin chocolate. In fact, i love chocolate. It makes me happy 19. Running makes me happy too, and i haven't run in 5 weeks. Which explains why... 20. I look forward to girls cell and bible study every week currently. I figure that if i can make it there, i would have passed the week more or less. 21. Liru is my guitar teacher. haha. I bet she has a hard time teaching a run-away student like me. 22. Everyone tells me to smile more often. can't, cause my first baby photo shows that i already learnt to frown then. 23. secondary school were the fun-est times. 24. I wake up every morning with a song in my head. 25. I love God. it's that simple. I figured that no one else would love me that much, so i should reciprocate.
Rules: It's harder than it looks! Copy to your own note, erase my answers, enter yours, and tag ten people. Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real...nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
