ThouGHTs.
Today my day was up n running. Got up early n went to Victoria Markets, then shopping in Melbourne City.. then went to Chadstone Mall to shop again. Melbourne is the Best place to go shopping!!!! I really recommend you visit this place.
I also got to spend some quality time with my mom n grandma, mostly my mother. yeah.. I see the path she has chosen for herself, and she has no regrets... 4 kids that love her, a great husband, a great Job.. God has indeed blessed her so much.
I don't know what path I'll choose, this will affect how I live the rest of my days out on the earth.. sounds deep hey.. its what I stay awake sometimes at night n ponder to myself.. what on earth will my life turn out to be??
How do I want my life to go?? for the next 30 years.. What do I want to become? What do I want to be known for and others to see me as?? Good?? Awesome? Stubborn?? What will I choose? Money or Happiness? To live a life of service? To dedicate myself to earning money? To be a Worship Pastor? To be a stockbroker? To be WHAT????? I mean... so many options for me to choose. The worst thing is, when I come to the end of my life, what will it mean for me? Will I have any regrets??
GOd i wanna serve you. I don't care what I do. I want to give up my life n commit it into your hand. I wanna love others n be loved. I wanna exsist just to do that.. breathe n live just for YOu.. I want to become a pastor.. maybe even a worship paastor.. if You're willing..if not i wanna just lead worship the rest of my whole life (if you're willing again)... I don't care if i just push chairs or clean toilets the rest of my life.. if I'm just doing it for yOU n YOUr HOuse.
bUT where's the security in doing that?? What will I live on? Love?? Air?? I know you say to trst u, but HOW can i take that step of faith? HOw can?? ARGGHH.

FinallY!!! in Melbourne!!
Hey pple.. i am finally in melbourne. For those that read my blog faithfully, i guess you would want to know what really happened yesterday in Adelaide Airport... so here's the full story.
Well.. when we got there to check in at around 11.30am, cos we had to return the rented car by 12, and our flight leaves at 1plus (i think). Then we got told that Melbourne Airport was closed due to a gas leak in one of VirginBlue's terminals, and staff weren't sure what was happening and when the airport was going to be reopened.. we were told to wait for further news. So yeah. We waited from 12plus till 3.30pm. Then we looked up.. n noticed our flight had been cancelled. $#$%#$^...
There also was an announcement for us to go to the front desk where we stood in line for another one half hours to get our flights rescheduled. So we went HOME in the end about 5 plus. One whole BlarDy Day wasted at the Adelaide Airport doing NOTHING. AND, apparently Virginblue is not compensating any of us for anything because they claim that the gas leak in the airport wasnt their fault, and they have classified it down to a natural disaster. WALAo1??
So today we caught the 10am flight n thankfully made it in one piece to Melbourne. So now we are going back on Friday arvo. Can't wait.

STUCK!!
Hey Everyone.. Sorry I haven't been updating my bloggie but this is like, this first time I actually have nothing to do AND I'm pretty much stuck at the Adelaide Airport cos our flight to Melbourne is delayed. I've only got 8 minutes to type my blog.. so YEAH.
SO firstly I wanna say a big thankyou to all you guys that actually came to send me off. and, I DIDNT CRY. hahaha.. So, here's just a quick update on what happened since I've touched down in good oLd Adelaide...
Wednesday..
Went home and basically slept the Whole day away. cos All of us were jet lagged. The flight was alright I suppose. We rented a car from the airport. Then I met Josh for the first time since 2 half months!! YAy!! that was the best part of the day. And!! Riana told him when I was coming back so my coming back wasn't really a surprise at all. BleAH. Then I went to Leader's meeting, n met up with Sam, Kim Ting, Kim Chan, Karen.. they all.
Thursday...
Umm.. Can't really remember what we did.. too bad OH YEAH.. Josh's family took us out to eat... i mean it wasn;t too bad, Sam n Aaron were also there.. We went to a restaurant called My YEn. Josh told me how much the dinner cost later, n i almost blanched. Josh's parents are so nice to my mom n grandma. Its like.. Unbelievable. N Mom thinks that Josh is TOO nice to me. I mean Come on lah.. how can he be too nice to me?????? thats for you to go n think about.
Friday..
Went for GRIP service. It's good to be back, but I still miss Singapore heaps.
Saturday
My Uncle took us to the Adelaide Hills.. Uraidla and Harndorf. Uraidla was having it's yearly fair.. so like.. sheep n horses and dogs were EVery Where. Harndorf was just ONE street. Seriously. One Street. but it was chocablock full of lolly shops n nice things to eat.. hahaha I know..Then we went to a strawberry farm.. but it was windy so we just went to the shop. Not to pick berries. The last time my family went (I didn't go) Jeremy n Sam started a strawberry picking cum fight cum war.
Sunday
Went to church. Had dinner with Uncle Alan n Uncle Ken n their families.. it wasnt too bad..
Today..
SO here I am.. typing my blog in the Airport, in this dodgy "World Net Kiosk". Its so annoying, I keep making mistakes. BUT..
I miss u guys.. HEAPS. N HEAPS. yeah.. I'll try to keep you updated. Right now I don;t have a phoneline at home n thus my internet can't be connected SUCKS. Byebye for now.. sob.

Today my mom woke me up by sitting on my bed n knudging me awake. Then we went to my grandmother's place for a last Family lunch n "Lo Hay!!" .. actually my grandma just wanted to use up all her "lo Hay" ingrediants only so thats why.. but her laksa is the best in the world (that's what we had for lunch). Then we went to church for music practice. I'll spare u all the gory details haha Then I went out with Jame to go to orchard n her place to bum.
OK.. now is the part I wanna record down forever hahaha. I went to buy one year supply of contact lense at ToaPayoh Central.. then me n Jamie were talking to the seller.. haha firstly, he speaks chinese.. even though we talk to him in English, he answers us in CHinese!!! I mean.. That alone was frustrating.. imagine 2 blur blur women.. one chinese fail, the other one chinese never talk in a damn long time.... trying to understand him. Secondly... he talk damn fast.. walao.... pls loh.. cut us some slack lah. Ok. NeverMIND. WE still could tahan ABIT. haha then.. ok. He told us one box has 3 pairs of contact lenses.. so for one year we need to buy 4 boxes. Then I was like.. My degree in both eyes are different u know.. one eye is 350 deg. and the other is 300 deg. So how much would it be for a full year's supply?? Then, he kept on repeating himself and told us that OK.. nevermind.. just buy 2 boxes can already... then We were like.. No.. 4 boxes will last us only half a year.. so HOW MUCH WILL ONE YEARS SUPPLY COST US?? Then he KEPT ON REPEATING HIMSELF. We were like.. Walao... StOOpID GUy.. DOesnt he do MATH??
This exchange went on for about 5 minutes.. haha me n jame were getting pretty pissed. hahaHAHA. THEN. It finally hit us.. he says that there are 3 PAIRS of contact lenses in ONE BOX. Therefore, ONE BOX CONTAINS 6 CONTACT LENSES. Walao... 1 6 lenses then SAY 6 LENSES LAH.. no need to say 3 PAIRS OF LENSES... #$@%#$@.... haha then afterwards walking back from the shop... both jame n me were damn paiseh.. hahaha i supposed it served us right.. but really loh.. 6 lenses in one box say until so CHIM...walao that guy asking for trouble or wad....
hAHA afterwhich we went to Jame's house to bum.. then her family n me went to Aunty Matilda's house to eat dinner. Then came home. SO was my day. haha

Oranges
Today, we went visitng all our relatives. We left at approximately 9.30am.. maybe that's why i felt so lethargic the WHOLE day. Even when I was driving. haha. ANyhow, we made it there in one complete piece so there.
Why do we give Oranges?? Why not give apples?? Or mangosteens? Or say even Pears?? I was told by my dear brother that oranges are given cos they are orange in colour, and they represent prosperity. They are given in pairs to signift good luck. I mean.. why not give a pair of red apples instead?? Red is an auspicious colour also mah.. ANd the thing that irks me is.. you take the trouble to bring like a whole bag of oranges whereever you go, and at the end of the day.. you bring the SAME bag of oranges home too. Man.. I mean.. WHY BOTHER?? cos you lug 2 oranges in hand when you go "bai nian" at pple's houses.. u go to them and hand them over saying Happy New Year... then, they HAND THEM BACK TO YOU. Please loh.. why bother to do that then??
ANyway... went so many places today.. sigh.. couldn't wait to go home and count hongbaos.. hahaha then afterwards I'm gonna catch "Seoul Raiders" with my cousins Elgin n Janice and my brother. I KNOW!! dunneed to say ANYTHING. hahaha its a lame movie.. but it's all that's playing when we're convienent. I say, W. (haha ZQ taught me shortform) (ie W = Whateva).

Happy CNY to all of you!
In case some pple don't know, CNY stands for Chinese New Year!! haha Happy days n Hongbaos are here again!! haha tonight is actually CNY eve (correct me if I'm wrong).. but yeah got reunion DInner @ GePeh's house. Didnt do much today...
Slept at like 4 plus yesterday night.. but got rudely awakened by the phone at 9.30 this mornin.. couldn't really go back to sleep but lazed around in bed till 11.30.. then went with my dad n becca to fetch Jeremy from the Army and my mother from work at Pasir Ris.. walao so FAR away man.. but ok lah.. can practise my driving. Then we had lunch down the hill there.. then dropped my brother off at amk mrt, and then went to pick my sister(sam) up at Bishan mrt.. walao right?? im turnin into the driver. haha then went with my mom to Thompson Plaza.. for some shopping. Then went home.
Its so quite nice.. when i was there with my family i couldn't help pondering that this will be one of the last times that i will get to sit down and eat a meal with them till next year. Damnit.. why must leaving Singapore be so hard?? Everytime i leave a place i get so attached to the pple, and the FOOD, and the whole being of the place. I will miss SIngapore so much.. and all its pple. (that i know).. not the road hoggers n stoopid other people.
I'm sorry i acted like such a jerk to you. Even if im not happy that's not the way to express to you how I feel right?? it was like I'm bashing u up inside.. emotional blackmail. ANd also what do u want my opinion for, if your just gonna go ahead with it.. yeah I got the damn email (Worship meeting minutes) today.. funny they DIDN'T even CHANGE the position NAME hey. Damn. Are u that blind, deaf or dumb?? Wait a second - you can't even answer this question can you??
call it what u want, its still the same old thing. Fine. From now on I will NOT tell you how i feel on this matter. Bloody Hell. Cos if I do it'll end like last night. And it's not like you read my blogs anyway cos u think blogging is stupid. so PUI to you.
