Like some of the short films, before the film begins, they'll have that 10,9.... and the past starts on the reel. While i was bathing, something that happened 5 months ago flashed back in my mind. The scene was in the art room, and i was doodling ON THE TABLE. :) During which, i randomly asked emme, "what if i want to be an artist?" The response i got wasn't that positive. So i returned to my doodlings.
Today, i want to ask the same question "What if i want to be an artist?"

Speaking of which, i miss the doodles on the table. :( I remember i drew a man, and wrote "hi! you are?" then someone else came in, drew a man and responded, "i'm your father". wahah. Managed to fill up half the table consequently.

Anyway, i managed to catch SIFF. It wasn't brilliant. Out of the 7, i thought 'My Home, My Heaven' and 'Wet Seasons' were not too bad. All in all, i was pretty excited because it was my first time attending SIFF and being a minority, which brings me to my next point.

After weeks of death note, each week being different as we touch on different issues that are very real in our lives. To top it off, the speakers are different every week, so it was a very refreshing change. :) With every week being a new and different experience, do i get this adrenaline rush, with my heart pumping with excitement?

Few years back i took my FIRST rollercoaster ride. Yes, it was only a few years back because i used to be too short. As i was waiting in line, i was all hyped up that i could feel my heart pumping till my ribcage was about to burst, and in my heart i was telling myself how i would scream myself hoarse. One more thing... i prayed that i won't die of a heart attack from this scary ride!!!! Likewise, when we plan and prepare for events, in the course of inviting frends, persuading them to join us in the fun and discovery, how excited are we? Are we stale? Do we prepare ourselves mentally how we would like to share with others, to converse with them?
Should i be pushed onto a roller coaster without warning this instant, my heart would stop beating. Seriously.
How then have I been preparing myself as each Saturday draws? What about you?







This is such a belated post but i must still blog about my brilliant friends that have really been a blessing in my life.

Day before my birthday, after prayer, i was presented with A MOLEY card from beloved S&P. it was the most hilarious card i've ever received. :)
After leaders' meeting, spent an afternoon with my dear helmet whom i have not met since results day, monster, and crankylostdonut at MAAD. Personally fel that some of the things were over priced but i really admire their creativity and just presenting it. Well, there was a particular painting which caught my eye and i can still vividly remember how it looks like-bright splashes of paint bursting with energy. Whoo! Then there was this funky top which made me smile but thought it was too pricey.

What i appreciated and enjoyed most that afternoon wasn't MAAD, but the company that i was with in a small cafe as we catch up with one another, helmet sharing about how God has used her as an instrument to do His work on the streets and at NUS. Hearing her talk so fervently with such joy really warmed my heart and encouraged me greatly :) The 3 of them presented me with cheesecake with straw candles, a magazine with a rather strange looking boy on the cover. SO HILARIOUS. And The Giving Tree card inside the magazine!! Whoo.. books!!! BOOKS!!! More books!!!!!

Dinner with the Marks, and my 3 dear friends was rather awkward and terribly embarassing. All i wanted to do at that moment was drown myself in the river. The same topic always recur and poor me have to bear with it. In retrospective, i think i really did some rather silly things in JC and so yes, i ought to be laughed at. Is it any surprise that i find myself laughing at myself now?
Pillowman. Stated in my previous post. Worth every cent.

Art. Lit. =)

Had the company of my art friends popping by my house early in the morning on my birthday when i was still in bed! Was still whoozy when i opened the door for them as i went to bed like 3 hours ago. STILL, i appreciated EVERYTHING that they made-from the gifts to the cake. Lovely. It is such a joy that although we are doing different courses now, made new friends, hardly even meet up, but yet, they spent time to plan, to do things for me to tell me that they remember. :')
Although school can be such a horrible dread but God has richly blessed me with friends who have been my cheer leaders, my prayer warriors.

Evening was brilliant-as usual. Dinner at Stone's Grill which didn't impress me because we had to cook the meat!!! When the meat came, my first impression was, 'man, that's really rare!'. Where's the service?? My dears were kind enough to cook it for me... and had all the smoke coming to me!!! Interrogation, Q&A was hilarious and it is such a joy that i can share with my friends so comfortably about my dark secret. They planned a route which eventually led to the beach, and their sense of direction was terribly amusing that i eventually led the way. Rely on my instincts and you won't get lost(dazz can testify to that). It was the first time i had a birthday song with army boys in the background singing their funny little song!!! Haha.. Every year it changes. (i remember last year i had a birthday ice cream on a lorry!!!)


If i could play back the past 2 days, i wouldn't.
Every moment was precious and gave me much joy.
They are God's blessings to me
and there's nothing more i ask
Thank you for wanting to journey with me my 19th
If only you know the joy i have
i would want to share it with you
because i love each one of you.




Speaking of which, i am in the midst of a new project! :D
