CHRISTmas
Christmas is here! YAY
shopping
presents
food
candy cane
lights
christmas tree
carols
santa claus
fake snow
doesn't Christmas just rocks big time?! haha
hmmmm
but i guess to me, Christmas isn't just all that.
it's more like
CHRIST - mas
without Christ. There is no Christmas anymore.
i know that lots of people are saying that 25 dec isn't really the actual day when Christ was born. but hey, does it really matter when the exact date is?
what matters to me is that He were born more that 2000 years ago, so that He could die in order to save my life.
haha so in a nutshell, that's what christmas is for me. what does christmas mean to you?

By the way, please remember to pray for my sis on Boxing Day (26/12/2007) because she is going for her radiation surgery at 4pm sg time/9pm nz time at SGH.
(:
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Just went to the supermarket to say hi to Michelle and buy mango and passion juice. But somehow, its aftertaste is like vomit?! EWWWW can someone please try it and tell me that i'm not just imagining it? haha

and i need you like a heart needs a beat;
It was the first day of work today!!!
Well, I don't actually want to blog about work just yet, because I'm afraid that whatever I write about will only be based on assumptions and might not truly reflect something or someone haha. So I guess, I will do a review about work only by the end of the week. (i think? haha)
But so far, I can say that the people were really nice and helpful to me XD
And...
*DRUM ROLLS*
I'm getting 13 bucks per hour!! Working full-time, 40 hours a week. WHEEEEEE~
I can treat you guys to lunch! XD
p.s. I love the song Apologize by Timbaland (feat. One Republic)!
Okay that was real random.
BUHBYE~

a summer job;
I GOT A SUMMER JOB!!!
haha and its not those jobs which pay you the minimum wage or make you work your butt off just to get the money you deserve.
Its an AIR-CONDITIONED job, where all i have to do is type stuff into the computer (i think?) LOL
*
Hmmmm
I guess this week has been quite enjoyable for me, since I am finally released from school's chains!! Haha I have been shopping!! It's like my favourite pastime! But I can't believe that I have ignored it for soooo long! Like more than half a year?!
But it's back to practising the art of shopping again!! WHEEEEE
So, I bought a really nice tote bag from justjeans, a really retro top and a pair of black skinny jeans (which looked rather emo-ish? No offence though!) well...maybe I should take a picture of those stuff haha
But I guess, shopping isn't the highlight for this week.
NEVER underestimate the power of prayer.
I think that was what I actually learnt this week. That prayers should never be underestimated.
Monday:
Alys txted me early in the morning telling me she didn't have anything to wear to My Chemical Romance concert and that she was really broke. I was quite concerned for her because she seem rather in a panic.
So I thought I should pray for her. When she came over to my house a few hours later, she told me her mum gave her 120 bucks! WOW! We went for a shopping spree that day!!
Wednesday:
My birthday! Well I thanked God for keeping me alive for 17 years. Anyway I had a party that night, and before that it started raining ): And that party is like a bbq at the beach, so if it rains everything will be ruined. I prayed, and an hour before the party, it stopped raining! (: Oh oh, but the amazing thing was when we were all safely into the hall after the bbq, it actually started raining again! But by then, it was quite alright.
Well, unfortunately the party got a little wild and the cops came. I got a little scared and wanted to go home. But it was like 1am in the morning and the only way I could go home was by a taxi. Which would cost 20 bucks. And I was a little paranoid about taking a taxi home on my own at 1am in the morning. I started praying again and decided to just booked the taxi anyway. But a minute after we booked the taxi, my mum txted me asking me if I ready to go home. I was like soooo happy! She was still awake!! Haha so we cancelled the taxi (although the lady was like super annoyed at us) and I managed to get safely home.
Thursday:
On Wednesday, I kind of prayed that this someone would stop giving me the cold shoulder and talk to me again. And surprisingly, after almost half of year of not talking, that someone talked to me again on thursday hahaha
Friday:
This morning, I prayed that God would help me with my interview at Crean, so that I can get the job. The interview went quite well, and I wasn't nervous at all. haha I know I shouldn't be that fussy about jobs, but I thought that the lady who interviewed me was kind of rude and I didn't like her that much. When her subordinate told her that I had arrived, not only did she not acknowledge me, but she made me wait for soooo long as she typed stuff, without asking me to have a seat first.
I thought that was a tad rude. Another downside about this job is that it's in the middle of nowhere, which means there is no public transport and quite secluded and quiet. Anyway I thought I should not think too much and wait till next week to know if I actually got the job.
But guess what! After lunch today, this lady from PowerCo (my dad's office) called me asking me if I wanted a data entry job for 6 weeks. Well, when I first applied for this job my parents and I didn't actually think they will call me because PowerCo is a really big and established company and they can find older and better people. But NO! They actually called me!!! Wheeee haha
Well, that lady asked me about my data entry skills and if I could type fast. I told her that my typing skills are mostly trained by using online chats hahaha She laughed. Then I decided I should be more serious, so I told her that I did computer skills in school last year.
Her next question was, "So, can you start at 9am on Monday?" I was like "YES!!" hahaha So I got the job without even an interview or a CV. WOW!! I got more than I prayed for hahaha
*
Amazing eh? I find it hard to believe that everything is just pure coincidence haha Anyway, I just thought I should share this. I'm still amazed at how great my God is.
(:

happy birthday alyssa
Hey blog!
Guess what! I'm blogging through microsoft word! Isn't that uber COOL??! That's something good about windows vista i guess haha
*
I just came back from a really interesting university talk at Alys' church haha. Can you believe it?! In less than 3 months time i would be in another city, on my own going to uni! WOW!!!
T'was different listening to real uni students telling us about their experience and how they cope in uni though. Because like you hear about how uni is going 2 be so wicked, with all the parties, drinking n freedom. But u don't really hear about the other side about uni, the "harsher reality" of uni i think.
I met some cool people and got their contacts. So now, I kind of know some people in Wellington already! Haha I have been quite worried about uni actually, especially about my hostel. I don't think I know anyone from my school who will be going 2 the same hostel as me! ): That's kind of scary i guess. It's scary too because i'm on my own, stepping onto new ground and out of my comfort zone.
But, well God is good; he knows my needs. At least now, I have some contacts in Wellington (:
*
Anyway, this guy (i forgot his name?) was talking about studying and why we study.
Why we study? This is exactly the question I have been subconsciously asking myself all my life as a student i guess haha I think lots of people ask themselves that right?
I guess we all study for our own reasons.
But I think today, I kind of came 2 a conclusion to why I study. It's not because my parents want me to, or because of the satisfaction when i get good grades (although, i think they do somehow play a part though).
For me, I've come to learnt that studying is a gift. Not everyone can study. Not everyone is fortunate enough to study. I know most of us hate studying. But I've heard people in third world countries who are dying just to study. I guess they are just so amazed at how much information there is in the universe, and all they want is just to share in a bit of it haha
Personally, studying also has another reason for me. I seriously hope that somehow what I've studied would benefit someone in the future. Like... this is my little secret for doing law in uni okay: I really hope that if i become a lawyer in the future i can help to fight cases for the abolishing of unfair laws against humanity (eg. Child slavery in third world countries).
Haha i guess its a little far-fetched. But we will see (:
Errr...i think i sound like a geek. Well, just to let u know, i'm not that obsessed about studying ok haha

Anyway it's my sis birthday today.
So, Alyssa this one's for you:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Have fun in Singapore! (but remember 2 buy my prezzies too!!)
