We were doing word-gender discrimination during English today so we had to match words according to gender stereotype. One of the words that appeared was 'lazy'.

"Oh, definitely guy!" the girls chorused and burst out laughing.

Without missing a beat, Vincent loudly commented (while still hunched over his paper), "Your mother lah!"

Jie and I have been talking about God's blessings and being thankful for a while now. Honestly, sometimes it's difficult to be thankful for anything during the day, but I've really been so blessed. I'm (very) slowly getting used to the hang of things and.. things could be worse. But they are not, so I'm grateful to God and breathing easier.

I found this blog which inspired me (to pray). I think it's time for me not to be inward-looking and start giving of myself, esp. in the area of prayer. I'm not a prayerful person but I wanna grow in this aspect. Of faith, of thanksgiving, of petition, of Your will.

I think this year's going to be so different. Excited for all that God's going to do! :D

Philippians 4:14

I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.

*Itchy fingers want her hair*
Hahaha everytime there's a picspam review of each episode, there would definitely be a picture/gif about Kahlan's EPIC HAIR. Her hair dances along with her as she attacks D'haran soldiers.

"What's today's date?"
"It's 3rd Feb. BRIDGET REGAN'S BIRTHDAY! :D"

Yep, it's gorgeous Bridget Regan's birthday today! Heh :D
For someone who has only started acting on TV in 2006, she's pretty darn amazing to get a main role in LOTS in 2008. Plus, she is so pretty! I think she looks even better now with her new LOTS outfit and make-up.

Anyway, today's date is interesting. 3/2/10!

Laughed when I heard the song used for this vid. But it's still an awesome video by fyeahtabrettbethell!

Happy birthday Bridget Regan!

Two of my fav actresses :D

Today was supposed to be a good day (normal, at the very least) but I didnt know what got into me. And one thing snowballed into another.. so it was just a really bad morning :/

Hearts madea, ken, xy, g, kx, mei, xue er :)

Hopefully the rest of the week will be better. No humanities except for lit.

For someone who is trained to be in control of her emotions, Cara is thrown off guard this time round. For once, she is caught in a situation whereby she didn't know what to do so she tries to push these feelings away :/ I think it just kills her to not be able to tell Leo how she really felt while he was alive and that she hurt him when she lied that she didn't care. She didn't know how to handle someone actually loving her, not because she tortured him into so but because he genuinely cares.

Leo: So, what kind of bird would you wanna be?
Cara: What difference does it make?
Leo: I'm curious.
Cara: A blue-tailed sea hawk.
Leo: That's a noble animal.
Cara: One that attacks without warning. Nothing escapes its claws.
Leo: Do you know what kind of bird I'd be?
Cara: A parrot that doesn't know when to stop talking?
Leo: A banded falcon. They're the only birds that blue-tailed sea hawks will fly with.

Life has been good albeit tiring. Other than the exhaustion, I've been feeling pretty good about myself. I think it's God's way to encouraging me to press on. I've been so stressed recently that I am susceptible to tears. I was a total maniac on the train today (so embarrassing.. everyone was staring at me). Jermaine couldn't stop laughing when I told her about it. If I'm this tensed up for CTs, I can't imagine how I'd be like come 'O' Levels. But nonetheless, God has been good, really sustained me through this past few weeks (but I won't push it, I will sleep as much as possible when CT ends!). Not only the strength, but He's renewed hope and confidence. Finally, I see that what I've been working so hard for come to pass. There's this sense of, "Wow, maybe I will have a chance. Maybe I can actually do it." when before it was just, "Hopefully (yet not so hopeful), I can."

Maybe the dreams that I used to hold on so tightly will just come true.

Faith.

Anyway, happy birthday to the best twin ever! <3 you babe. Can't wait till things get more or less settled down and then we can go out. Eat ice-cream, drink stabucks, grow fat :P

Need. To. Study!
(Can't wait for CTs to be over! Four more to go!)

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection; a freckle on the nose of life's complexion; the cinder or the shiny apple of its eye, I gotta fly once, I gotta try once, Only can die once, right, sir? I gotta have my bite, sir! Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.

- Don't Rain On My Parade (lyrics)

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Cara: Something wrong?
Kahlan: *shakes head and wipes away tear* I miss Richard.
Cara: Why?*
Kahlan: Because I love him. I'm not used to being apart from him.
Cara: It's not necessary to feel pain over his absence.
Kahlan: Don't you feel anything?*
*Cara looks confused*
Cara: Mord'siths believe emotions must be governed. Sadness, remorse, love. These feelings make you weak. But anger, loyalty, pride.. These feelings make you powerful. I can teach you how to control these emotions, if you like.
Kahlan: I'm not sure love makes a person weak, Cara.
Cara: Then why are you sitting on the ground, weeping over a sword!*
*Kahlan laughs*
Kahlan: Thank you for your advice but I think I'd be alright.
(all the lines with * are the ones that cracked me up)

Cara's facial expressions tickle me. Esp her 'Errr..' look. I don't think it's the kind of look you should expect from a Mord'sith, so she's obviously learning from Kahlan. I love Kahlan+Cara's r/s. Wasn't terribly healthy at first but y'know, they're both learning to respect and care for each other, esp. Cara.

Anyway, CARA AND LEO LOOK SOOOO CUTE TOGETHER :D Hahaha I can't wait to see the development of their r/s. LEO MADE HER LAUGH. Yes, that is a big deal. Bytheway, he's quite lame, but awfully sweet. Didn't get scared by Cara's taunts and kept trying to reach out to her. And they keep smiling whenever they see each other. Awwwwww.
Kahlan: *smiles teasingly* I've never heard you laugh before.
Cara: *tries to think of a witty reply* Aren't you supposed to be asleep?

Cara's hilarious. Even her relationship with others/the way she interacts with people makes me laugh. She ROLLED her eyes when Zedd said that Leo was the new Seeker and flippantly apologising for knocking him out. Hahahaha.

Kahlan still rocks. Love what she said about love. I really admire her. Losing someone you love isn't easy but she still remained so strong (doubly hard). You can tell that she's so aware of Richard's absence and it breaks her heart :/ Zedd looked at her as though she was in denial when she told Leo that Richard was still alive (yes, he still is). Your heart cannot not break with Kahlan's.

So yuuuuuup. I think Season 2 is getting better and better. LOTS rocks! (Esp. Kahlan and Cara :D)

I think she's beautiful.

Thank God that this week has been relatively good. Homework and stuff are piling up rapidly but other than that, things have been fine. Time seems to be passing slowly, especially when I'm trying not to fall asleep during lessons. Don't think it'd last for long 'cos school's starting to pick up speed. Sis and I agreed that we should have a long weekend alternate weeks so that we can catch up on sleep (and still can finish up what we have to do).

Was finally able to attend prayer group on Thursday. Just the core, but God's presence was there. Like what Pastor Wee shared on Tuesday, thirsty but not realising it. Exactly what I was. I want more of God :) For the first time this week, I actually felt like I'm not alone. And can I say just how proud I am of the Sec3s? :)

Anyway-CTs-and-class-test-next-week-need-to-study.

Feel weird and disconnected nowadays.
& no more sitting on the fence.

Breakthru oeiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :)

Camp was awesome. All the activities, sessions and MASS DANCE! 
Orange house rocks my socks! Whoohoo, I love my leaders and house mates :) We have won the war!

I GOT A PRETTY POUCH FROM QIU JIN YAYYYYY! Everything else that happened today isn't important, hahahaha.

It’s only the first week of the year and I don’t quite like the person I’m turning out to be. She’s really, really horrible.
