i know i will miss mummy.

Bloggio. orange's mood today isn't great.

this morning orange got awaken by the hostel fire alarm. as usual... its technical failure. and NO ONE did anything. Perhaps due to the fact that there was really no one around. =.= this term break really end fast. orange can feel the school stress coming back very soon. Projects.. Assignments.. Reports.. Labs.

woke up... found my nose bleeding. how great.
orange need nutrients.. lots of it. but none can be found in ntu.
so fast is friday tmr. dun wanna face it.
mummy is leaving..to korea..with Dajie. Thats wat i'm worried about.
Thank God got Cousin Jenny with them. Cousin Jenny had been to some many places.. hard to imagine if they would get lost out there with her around.
But still, i'm sad.. worried. very depress.

dunno what would happen. dunno what can happen. God... pls protect all 3 of them.
Let my Dajie experience this overseas travelling can? She already haven't step out of singapore for so long. Pray that she will not last min change her mind.

wish i can eat mummy's cooking before she leaves.
today she called me.. requested some help from me.
i immediately pause my stuff and did hers first.
this week she had been busy.. i guessed. never call me at all.
wanted to tell her so much that i wanna eat her cooking and won't get to taste it all the way until she is back from korea.
this whole week already didn't get to eat.. still must wait next week she comes back only by then i'll be back at ntu another week before i go back! =.=

as usual.. my mummy sometimes snap at me. =.=
whenever i give a slower-than-her reply.
so in the end i didn't say out. she definitely will snap at me for being so childish.
i also fear that she will lose her cool.. i hate it when she lose her cool on hp. i wanted to explain myself but won't get a chance at all.

on hp then she suddenly ask me: will u be coming back home to eat lunch?

i got tongue-tied for a while. then i laugh... of cos don't have la.. its impossible!
there goes my reply.. FOS.. without much thinking.
oh well. orange pls wake up. u are 23 years old already. be more sensible can! u can always eat when she comes back!

at home, i feel like i'm the eldest. actions or words. i have to be independent. my Dajie... forget it.. if she is happy in life, i'm already very glad.

argh. i dunno y.. i'm just feeling depressed. i just need a nice cry.

C.H.I.L.D.H.O.O.D

Before I begin.. don't say i didn't warn u. This is a LONG Blog.

The best time of my life.

My childhood was really.. bittersweet.
Life was so simple. Enjoyed reading story books.. especially written by Enid Blyton. There were unlimitless opportunities for me to do the things i wanted.. to watch tv shows.. disney cartoons were an all time favourite..

Everytime after school.. would walk this very long stretch of route back home.. doubly fast.. triple good time. HAHAS.. there was this gal.. who thought I wanna compete with her in walking.. wahahas.. orange was INNOCENT! but since she thought tat way, orange don't mind playing with her. heh.. and everytime orange won. HAHAS.

Holidays was always bitter sweet too. how come? Bitter cos orange got to do LOTs of homework from school and LOTS of writings from HOME. Hahas.. that trained my handwriting ah. Never regretted a least bit. Sweet cos orange get to go to my aunt's place (Dad's sister) at there, get to teach some Math or Chinese to my cousins! Xiao xuan and Xiao wei! Hahas.. then stay there for a good 1 ~ 2weeks! Hahas.. everytime leaving their place, back to mine was always TEARFUL Separation for us...

Going to church was just a past time to me when I was in Primary School. Wasn't at all serious with God. Going to church was only an On Off thingy.. Then i entered Secondary School. I was in secondary 1. It was only when this very same church put out a banner saying: Free 3 months Guitar Lessons for beginners. Cool. That brought light to my eyes. Told Daddy about it. He was 100% in consent. Wow. I can play guitar now!

3 mths guitar was hard. When practising uncle's guitar (from Daddy's friend) at home (haven't got my own yet).. i remembered that i was strumming so much until one of the string just BROKE! OMG... I was so shock la. Guitar was a BIG thing to me.. aiyo... I got this phobia then.. i worried that the string will snap anytime. Hahas. Thank God, the passion in me overcame that phobia.

The same uncle then brought me a classical guitar. I was SO HAPPY! of cos it wasn't a gift. My daddy bought it for me thru him.. hahas.. thats not the point. Yamaha C-60 then became my instument.. my very own Guitar. I took great care of it since then. But the story doesn't ends here. Shortly after the 3 months ended... the guitar was chucked at one of the corner in my bedroom.

At secondary school.. no primary school friends.. nobody i know of at all. I was clueless of everything. Wasn't close to my dajie at home, seldom see her at home too. Youngest sister at that time was only 8 yrs of age. Hahas. Middle child crisis!

Sports then became my everything in secondary. My newly discovered passion, Running, then birthforthed. My brain was suddenly like a dry sponge... eagarly absorb knowledge from sch everyday. I'm not ashamed of my secondary school at all. Serangoon Secondary School. A school tat is notorious for its Ah Bengs and Ah Lians. Nobody thought good about this school. All my 6 choices of Secondary was not chosen at all due to my 'Good' PSLE results. HAHAS. and I was miraculously 'thrown' into this school.

The amazing moments in school.. I was appointed as a school prefect shortly.. have to manage LOTS things.. school work.. prefect's duties.. librarian duties, girl guide stuff.. and things at home. There wasn't any time for myself. Church? Hahas. yesh.. it was still at the BACK of my head. Going out to orchard road was always a breeze for me when approached by Christians to tell me about God.

Oh yes... I know all these. U see, i attended sunday school when I was young. Hahas. Yup, its alrights... save the detail for someone else. - This was what I told them. YES. Straight in the face. Save everyone's time.

Then secondary 2.. My classmate, Chen Ting... she invited me to her church! Hahas.. we were running kakis too.. but we represented different houses. Hahahs. So of cos i agreed. OMG.. guess wat? she took me to the very church which i stopped going! After so many yrs.. *gosh* Amazing.

Began to attend the church on a regular basis since then. But wasn't very committed still then. So many things to do... Until things began to happen.. I could no longer tahan. I was really in need of strength. I begun to take God seriously. There was nothing else to believe in. Seriously.. my family tried everything.

Once again.. I began to take out my guitar. Then I sang. I played till my fingers were kinda bruised. I strummed.. sang.. and cried. Nothing could take my pain away.. Then I prayed. Then I heard Him. (oh pls, its not hallucinating!) Believe it or not, this was my experience. The calmness soothes my hard mind immediately.

Since then... I love to play guitar. My guitar was the greatest asset to me. I did not have the chance to learn things compared to my other 2 sisters when young. Deep in my heart I wanted to learn martial arts. Hahas. But i was then in my teens.. TOO LATE!

Finally I got baptised after my O-levels. Changed alot spiritually. The physical me was still very much the same old me.. wasn't too rebellion before and so not much interesting news to share... HAHAS.

Yup.. Thats my CHILDHOOD. Hows THAT? Bittersweet. INDEED it was.

*DaRK CHOCOLATED*

T.H.A.N.K.F.U.L

*BLINK* *BLINK*

O R A N G E is BACK! ^^



*DEEP B R E A T H..*

AAAHHHHHhhhhhh......



Orange SIMPLY LOVES the feeling of completing something... I call it.. SATISFACTION


BUT. without Start, there will never be any.. completion. Obviously then.. no satisfaction.

Now.. Starting something... is not easy.
HMM. Let's talk about some examples...

STARTING...

1. A Day
Normally the moment when Orange open her eyes in the morning, its always so...BRIGHT! But to KickStart a day.. the Bright morning suddenly don't seems so bright to me anymore.. One needs to have the ENERGY to kickSTART. Hahas.. just like driving a car. No Petrol.. No ride! SO.. ORANGE, u better ZZ EARLY LOTS.

2. A Meal
HMM. Orange always gobble up her food in SCHOOL. Believe me. Even the MOST GORGEOUS guy sit in front of me in school, I'll still do TAT. How COME? HAHAS.. My time is precious! wahahahas.. i think i had frightened away many guys le.. So, starting a meal.. heh, no real satisfaction actually..

3. A Tutorial
*pengs* Tutorials somehow seems more and more difficult nowadays.. as a result..Orange's bad habit. Doing tutorials during tutorials SEEMS a NORM nowadays... HAHAHAS.. However, sometimes if the tutor is GOOD, the SATISFACTION will be always THERE. ^^

4. A Bank Account
AHH! This ah.. of cos its not easy to start an account! first, u need to have a mindset and a HEART to SAVE $$.. next..MUST HAVE $$$ then find a Good Bank.. then MUST maintain the CASH FLOW in la! Producer and Consumer problem will never occur here.. there won't be any TOO MUCH CASH flow in...its ALWAYS TOO MUCH CASH flow OUT! wahahahas... this ALL must take note la! Orange always believed in SAVING for RAINY DAYS. YES. when u save $, the satisfaction is ALWAYS there. Somehow.. the satisfaction for saving $ is HIGHER than spending $. How COME? hehe...cos u know u save more THEN u can spend MORE... HAHAHAHAS.. ^^

5. A Sport
Orange is a person who finds it hard to accept changes. Yet I'm always SURROUNDED by changes... oh WELL.. U know I always wanted to play volleyball since sec sch? Hahas.. but out of parent's concern that I might injured my eyes.. i dropped the idea.. so since sec sch I've been RUNNING... oh BOY... Track and Field.. oh BOY.. LONG DISTANCE... oh BOY... LOVE IT LA! dunno y... the adrenaline rush in me.. whenever I overtake someone during long distance running... heh.. cross the FINISH line.. *SMILES* Finally in NTU, God gave me the opportunity in my Year 1. Got a great roomie who is really good player. Her name is YUHONG! hehe.. Thank You SO MUCH for teaching me.. I'm a GOOD student RIGHT? *SMILE* COS I GOT a GOOD COACH! ^^ Starting a complete new sport for me ain't easy.. its HARD WORK. and its PURE SATISFYING experience for ORANGE.

6. A BLOG
Woot! Starting a blog for me.. is not easy too. its after SUPER DUPER long when Orange starts to see a need to blog down her thoughts. Hehe.. initial the response from ALL her close friends is.. *gosh* shiyi have a blog?! she got write blog one meh?! WAHAHAHAS... but I had never regret since then. Sad, Good, Juicy, Yummy news... hahas... all are my desires and complains! Satisfaction? 10/10 ^^

7. A Relationship
This is a hard one for me. hahas.. for the very least, its not an easy thing off the shelf for me to say yes and agree with confidence. Orange don't really know how to LOVE a person.. to be EXACT, to LOVE A MAN. Hahas.. to think that babies were born OUT of LOVE. oh orange.. BUT thats myself.. my problem. Different people have different problems i guess. Heh.. then on top of MY own problem.. IS GOD! To believe in something is hard.. but once it is believed, it will be forever. To start a relationship.. Both side's belief is important. Thats when Unity starts and not diversity. Hence.. Satisfaction for now? 100% relationship with God.

8. A Career
*SMILE* for this.. i really got say...'THANK YOU LORD!' He guided me... without that career exhibition... I'm won't be in NTU now. Well.. come to think of it.. Orange went to the exhibition alone.. not with friends.. it wasn't any peer influence at all. It was out of a pure heart of interest..who wish to try out a different career whereby not most women will be keen and not all who are keen will be chosen. I guess.. God guided me to it. His plan was flawless.. I didn't plan so much for myself actually. In addition, with great power comes great responsibility. Whether my career will last or not is not the utmost importance. Its the challenges I can foresee which will really force me to mould my personality and character. Satisfaction? 120%

9. A Business
Wahahahas... Orange shall let in a BIT of my dream. A cafe of FAMILY feel... right in New Zealand. Satisfaction N.A for the moment. Wait for another 10 years? WAHAHAS..

10.A Family
HMM. this ADDS on the RELATIONSHIP.. this really needs pure committment and love and GOD. Heheh... GOD knows what I'm thinking.. tsk tsk... No need to say anything... Jesus is smiling right now.. Hahas.. oh WELL. Orange says... God knows everything le la. So if have, no matter how much Orange enjoys running..she'll never be able to RUN away FROM! Hehe.. i'll finished it with the ARMY way.. CONFIRM PLUS CHOP! ^^

Wahahas... Orange is amazing ah? all these things just came right into my mind..less than few seconds.. out on SCREEN! ^^

OK... Now.. Orange hasn't been running this week YET! eeks.. feel bad. I'll ZZ tonight early i hope, then tmr will be FRIDAY! Orange MUST run tmr morning.. lets see.. first lesson starts 1030. YAY! means can sleep more and still sweat out a bit b4 going to SCHOOL! *applause* hehe...

Dinner TMR WILL BE OUT OF SCHOOL! YAY! Finally AH. hehe...

OK... gotta BATH!

*SPLASH*

RAINED - Ran for Run For Hope - RAINED

Hostel is a JUICE BAR. WHY? Cos Orange always get brain juiced everytime back here.. =.= My Brain... MY POOR BRAIN! x.x

I hope everyday is a FRIDAY THEN SATURDAY THEN SUNDAY THEN BACK TO FRIDAY!!! wahahahahahas...!

===Friday===

Alrights...Friday was Raining WHOLE day... during morning lessons, Orange was pondering.. how to run with SQ later? The ground is COMPLETELY wet.. and its gonna be SUPER DUPER wet. HMM. Orange thinks MOST prob she'll suggest GYM training to Coach SQ..OR he might even suggest it.

THEN! Close to 3.30pm...HAHAS.. SQ msg me! He said might change to gym training! ^^ Eh ba...!!! Wooot! My guess CORRECT leh.... ^^

So we met at usual place, went to SRC GYM... OMG.. that time i tot nobody should be there... BUT end up EVERYBODY was there. =.=" How's TAT?

hehe... then Coach SQ took charge then said maybe we can go to another gym? HMM.. as far as Orange is concern, is there another Gym? How can I possibly NOT KNOW that there is another gym? my past 2 years staying in sch... gone where le...?

INDEED THERE IS another gym. and its ALSO in SRC. OMG... SQ proved me wrong again. =.= U WIN! Just as I was thinking that if SQ knows about this another gym, other pple will know too...how can it possibly be no one there? HMM. I was proved wrong again. =.= There was like only 2 person working out when we entered into another but this time..older Gym.

WA SEI... i see weights lying all over the gym... *pengs.. how can Orange work out there? work out my muscles? HMM. From feedbacks of my dear sista... she say my arms NEED to tone up. HMM. Now its flabby... YAR. but its BIG already. IF i start to work out my arms muscles... HMM. I think I might feel shy about wearing sleeveless tops... y? hehe... cos my arm muscles will be bigger than most of the guys around me.. ESPECIALLY in church... *gosh*

WELL. WHO CARES? *Bleah* hehehe... since now the other position is not taken up.. Orange needs to be strong to take care of herself and things... alrights...BACK TO GYM.

So we went off to run outside track for 2 rounds outermost track.. it was light drizzling tat time.. wah.. the feeling of running in light rain was really nice. As we ran faster, we were eventually drenched la. HAHAS.. dunno is soaked in sweat or rain! Heiz.. then we went back to Gym, Coach SQ tot me so many things la.. doing lunges with weight, then leg press thingy...to do in sets of 10, 8, 6.. wow. Then arms training.. *pengs* my arms CMI la... I can't even lift my own weight properly! =.=" oh BOY.. this means Orange really needs to do lots training on my arms... looks like I've been running so much lately and had neglected my poor arms..

Then we did the steps up and down too.. then we walked up 2 steps at a time at the super long stairs just outside SRC. Thats for the dragonboaters to train... HAHAS... my legs turned into JELLY instantly after tat... Finally its 6pm.. hehe.. then Orange can go town! WAHAHHAS... super long time never go town le...

I miss the fun...the night... the ambience..and the booze. hehe... Orange is only social drinker OK... not a hard core drinker.. and will NEVER BE. think its super dumb to be drunk after all the hard and healthy trainings I had for my body. To get drunk is super irresponsible for our body... hahahs.. once in an ORANGE moon get a bit high is pretty harmless ya. But must be with the right company. ^^

But friday wasn't a night to get high. HAHAHAS... cos its SISTA nights OUT! *pengs...I ate super lots after training.. i guess as the training gets tougher, Orange gets muscular, digestive system got to work HARDER! WAHAHAHAS! ^^

===SATURDAY===

YAY! Saturday celebrated my DADDY and SISTA birthday! HAHAHAS... CAN U IMAGINE... 2 same birthdays in a family? ^^, and I'm the only PIGGY at home! ^^

Orange made reservations at Waraku Japanese Restaurant...hehe.. private room. Heiz.. then wanted to surprise daddy and huan with cake from the famous Awfully Chocolate Cake Shop. Then... WELL.. though already knew, but to make doubly sure, I asked them again the types of cakes they like.. then .. answer was STRAIGHT NO. *pengs* both of them don't like cakes at all la. =.=

Anyways! Dinner at Waraku was nice! have to control abit... cos next day got to run 9km! Heiz... then wanted to zz early.. but due to routine late nights, toss and turned on my King Koll..

===Sunday===

The time HAS COME! Finally.. after all the hard slopes that almost killed me in ntu... The Terry Fox Run! aka Run for Hope 2006. Met SQ at Outram Mrt then went to Harbourfront Terminal in a Bronze-Orange Honda! Super nice la.. colour is almost like my Bronze Orange Zen Neeon! ^^ Thanks to his mum for fetching us! Once reached, it started raining...and we are only at the harbourfront terminal! =.= Upon reaching Sentosa, rain already quite steady.. we quickly joined the 9km run which was flagged off shortly. oh BOY.. with people all over the route.. my mind was super focused to run clear them. Hahas.. Thank God for everything... the slopes..rain..and people.. and SQ's motivation! Orange clocked about slightly less than 1 hr.. hehe.. nice accomplishment for a first time runner of 9km without stopping! ^^

After the run, Orange downed 2 bananas and 500ml of water! Then we proceed back Harbourfront, SQ's mum came to fetch us. Dropped off at Outram once again, then MRT back to My Church! WA SEI... upon reaching tanah merah, sunny rain appeared.. I was pondering should i wait for bus 9 or walk to church? but it seems the bus had just left..and I'm kinda quite late le.. HOW?

Orange decided to RUN...again! since already drenched in 9km distance of rain, what is 1km of sunny rain to me? except that this time...additional burden..my bag! =.= so I run all the way...pass the flower garden.. turn into simpang bedok.. *pengs* really wanted to stop to walk.. but dunno y... just tot of not stopping for 9km... the mind is like over the body again! so... continue lo! all the way pass the smelly long kang..THEN CHURCH! ^^

Orange was super late la.. don't wanna stink the main hall but cos need to cool down from running.. no choice! After changed to clean clothes, the service kinda ended la.. =.="

Nvm... but got surprise wo... cos I didn't expect to see Andrew la! wAHAHAS! ^^,

Thank God for him la... Daddy couldn't fetch us home from church.. and SOO.. we got a ride on the PINK car again! wooot! hmmm...now i come to feel comfortable on it! hehe... today learnt that its 10 yrs OLD! WA SEI... considered I'm the prestigious lot who can sit on it! Anyways! Tonight's dinner was a mixture of feelings again... cos after dinner on sun is usually pack bag..

Hmm. but dinner was really nice la... braised duck... Lotus Root Soup... Veg.. and FISH!

Orange WANT MORE!!! =.=

Anyways! This weekend has been super nice. with all the running training... lab accomplishment.. and FOOD..and CHURCH!

looking at next following days to fri.. lots of tasks to do... arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

OK, complains will come from Orange still.. BUT... God will make a way for me. Just like past weeks! Amen!

Terry Fox Run

Bloggie... tell u something...

Orange is GOING TO RUN...

GOING TO RUN...

RUN WHAT???

TFR.

This Year.. The Organizer stated his intentions to rename this marathon as Singapore Cancer Society Race. And this Event is ON this SUNDAY. Woot! How is THAT?

^^

Sorry Bloogie that Orange had left you alone for quite sometime... this week really... BUSY! =.=

Finally completed my CSC302 Lab Assignment 1... Next is CSC304 Lab Assignment 1 due next week... HOW IS TAT? =.="

===Tuesday===

Orange started her cruel training with Coach Songqian... Lets call him SQ ok? hehe.. cos i'm gonna mention his name quite a few times in this BLOG! Normally Orange's running route is only like.. HMM.. 3 km? Then SQ msg me on Mon about TFR... He said the marathon is 9km.. wow.. tats a bit too incredible feat for Orange to run! Wahahas!!! ^^ BUT OF COS that got me EXCITED! Nice motivation for me to work hard on my lab to get it done well then got time to train ma!

SO! Orange met SQ on Tues afternoon for training! He passed me the registration form to fill up my particulars too... HMM.. Then Orange realised... I HAVE A CHOICE TO RUN 5KM or 9KM!!! Aiyo! =.= I tot I didn't have a choice...! SQ didn't state clearly in his SMS! =.= HMM... but long distance running for training..should always train for longer distance. SO.. Orange put the tick at the 9km lo! ^^

After all this marathon is not a competitive one.. NO additional STRESS! and its for a GOOD purpose... so WHY NOT? But i haven't finish yet... Registration Fee is $25 =.=

WELL.. i guess since is not like the Army Half Marathon which served only fitness purpose.. Charity is alright for Orange. Though I would have preferred to use the money for my own Church la.. hehe.. ^^

AND SO...after we discussed, we decided to give a try for 7KM that day! SO... off we ran! we start off with the ntu route.. the beginning of route was familiar to me.. so Orange WAS OK. THEN... WA SEI... the up slope to school of Biological Science ALMOST Killed ME. -.- No words can describe. You take bus 179 and tour around my school.. you will know where I mean.. -.- After the slope end, SQ said we just completed about 3km. =.=" Nope.. u didn't hear me wrong... its 3KM only! AIYO! then we branch off to OCS.. by then I was panting la.. and you know wat... Not even a slightest sound comes from SQ... the only sound is MY BREATHING. =.="

Tats Y.. i decided to call him Coach SQ from today onwards. WAHAHAS! Then we went OCS.. then hahahahahs.. we suddenly got the urge to go toilet! heiz... what a run. so we did our STUFF and then continued the run. by then...Orange was.. -.- SUPER TIRED. really feel like my whole body is super duper TIRED. really felt like stopping to walk... Coach SQ was still the forever Great Motivator.. Orange PRESSED ON. ahhh... Finally out of OCS.. SQ said we completed another 3KM! WoooooooT!

Okays.. no need to say la.. the remaining about 1 km was back in school ground.. still got slope somemore! but this time round.. as we approached the ENDING... SQ said SPRINT ALL THE WAY!

Orange this time no need any more motivation... I wanna STOP TO REST!!! SO... We sprinted! ^^ after running, i didn't really feel like eating dinner too soon.. even though before the run my stomach was already growling! Hahas.. think i really... really... super tired out. so we continue to walk on.. and guess wat? we found ourselves walking up all the way to the NTU President's Lodge! OMG... the scenery up there was FABULOUS. The wind... surrounding.. everything! so relaxing! hahas.. we hanged around there for sometime then we proceed for dinner!

Yay! My dinner was Big Bowl Fish Porridge with Raw Egg Beneath! My portion of PROTEIN! ^^

Wahahas... SO this was Orange's TUESDAY. Rest of the days was BUSY with lots of stuff. I think LWN Library has become my favourite hideout.. not to sleep there..but to do decent school work!

===Tomorrow===

Orange will meet up with Coach SQ again after school for another LONG run. this time...HMM.. think it will be longer than the one on tues. To prepare for Sun's 9km run... Not much of choice la.. but i guess its for my GOOD.. my body is also shaping up MAN! WOOOT! ^^

Yay! Also after run will go WheelLock Place to register for TFR together.. haha.. then Orange can choose the right size of the T-Shirt! (hope still got my size)

Yay! Also after that Orange will meet her precious SISTA for dinner! ^^ HOW'S TAT? To my Dearest Sista: Yinghuan... I knew you really put in much effort this week for prelims... Though u might feel bad after taking some papers, Gal.. it over. Don't use the word 'screw' COS U'RE NOT a Screwdriver BUT my DEAR SISTA! Focus on what you can do and not what you can't do. Remember that Erjie is always behind you. on top of it, God is LOOKING at YOU. ^^ He knows your effort and will give you the best according to His will. Though your prelims is yet over, Erjie also wanna give you a special boost to continue to PRESS ON till the prelims end! So tmr will be a special evening with ME! ^^, HOW'S TAT? (:

Okays... time to say Goodbye again.. Orange really.. need to go.

WEEKEND END.. BACK WEST END

I'm back.. where i came from 2 days ago... -.-

TODAY was AMAZINGLY interesting for the first half of the day... hmm.. subsequent hours of the day seems sad.

Life is good when you are back to where your heart is. I Guess So. Cos Orange feels this way.. and there is like no other way of thinking for me.

HEHE... a ride in a PINK CAR with TWO doors..hows that?



^^



Amazingly this is Orange's SECOND time on it! HAHAHAHAHAS...! Thank God tat Andrew manage to find his way to my church! HAHAS... HMM. think is his First time seeing this Orange as a Worship Leader. I wonder how did I fare today? Think introducing 3 new songs to the congregation was a bit of mistake.. HMM. Must ask God later. This is for Andrew: THANKS for being able to pump PETROL fast... and also fetched Yinghuan, Celine and ME to watch Maybellynn's baptism today at Changi beach... ON TIME! ^^

Hehe.. also must thank dear Celine for lending me her ORANGE rubberband to tie up my hair.. else think I'll end up with not just SCORCHED FEET (burnt my feet while being barefooted at Changi V's carpark) and MESSY HAIR with HIGH BODY TEMPERATURE!

Thank God for everything... I believe God is great to THOSE who LOVES HIM. ^^

===Back to Hostel===

Though I'm TIRED of THIS lifestyle...having to travel to and fro.. (kudos to Daddy) every Sunday to me is FUN for 1st half and SAD for 2nd half.. super low morale to enter back to my FOUR walls compartment.. BUT I believe studying is one thing which God has blessed me to have this opportunity to do so. Joining my career also. Even the things at home.. also has its effect to mould me into a better person.

AFTER ALL... Having a great relationship with God REALLY doesn't promise a smooth sailing journey.. BUT is there anything else that can? NOPE. For the Least that we can think of, is the cost that Jesus paid for us. Is that considered LEAST then?

HEH... i'd guessed. so long we never see with our own EYES.. whatever things that had been so TRUE.. can actually turn into wasted effort. thats how we use to measure things in the world. our current generation..we never experience Jesus physically doing miracles along Orchard Rd.. Pasir Ris.. Jurong.. Woodlands..and etc. But God is not sorry nor regretful for what He had done for us.. WHY? Because what he had done.. was out of... Great Love.

Faith is all you need to do things?


NAH.


YOU need Faith.. Hope.. And the GREATEST of ALL.. LOVE.

Plus bearing in mind the 10 commandments of God, the 9 fruits of Spirit(hehe..I'm just writing whatever that comes to my mind) 8 Virtues of Christ.. HMM. 7... er.. 7 what huh.. hehe.. Orange will find out the rest then tell Bloogie someday!

OH YAR... By the way... HMM. Orange was amazed by the motivation(s) given by this Mr Yew Chuen at TAGGIE BOARD. Interesting wo.. Kinda hard to see tat he can churn out motivations. hehe. THANKS. but hor.. HMM. Mr Yew Chuen...your english.. HMM. How to spell the word (MOTIVATION) wrongly for TWO consecutive times??

Hmm. amazing ah.. haha.. yar.. then he motivated me.. and then.. NEVER TURN UP FOR LAST GUITAR LESSON!

HMM. How amazing ah. Can see that my teaching of guitar kinda stressed u most ahh.. HMM. hehe.. WELL... Orange cannot deny..i do STRESS my students.. but hor still...everyone turned up except u wo.. HMM.

Meanwhile.. gotta BATH! though not very stinky.. hehe.. but a bit oily..eek! HAHAHAHAS!

BEFORE I GO... TO MY BELOVED SISTA AH HUAN, JIAYOU JIAYOU!!! Though TMR your prelims START... I'll be praying for you still... EVERYDAY! Set your hearts right. Don't be distracted. Stay FOCUS, Do Your BEST. This is NOT Your first time sitting for exams. U did it umpteen times. Results... is NOT wat u should think of now. BUT rather its how u can pen down the things u learnt. Calm and Confidence CAN make a difference to YOUR performance during exam. SO. Believe in GOD and Yourself. You can do it. Remember the song I sang this morning? (: Then you should say.. YES AND AMEN! ^^

Till then.. when READERS miss Orange... hehe.. just go kitchen and get one from the FRIDGE!

*SPLASH*

M.I.S.T.Y .H.A.Z.Y

YO!

-Boring-ORANGE- says BOO!

Hehe... today had a chat with my Algorithms Lecturer previously from my Yr2 Semester1.. HAHAS. He was the person who got so much passion in teaching his ALGORITHM last time! hehehe...he was devastated by my lack of enthusiasm when i straightforwardly told him... SIR.. I CMI. GOSH la.. Orange has absolutely NO...0% of any C-Math knowledge... and all the mathematics here in UNI is like.. HMM..

HAHAS... then he said I must try to plan my time. He said no matter what.. there should be definitely a way for me.. provided i must really put in EXTRA effort than the rest! considering the rest..mostly are from JCs.. they have the knowledge whereas i DON'T.

HEH..so the forever STRESSFUL-Orange began to really work hard.. HMM.. can't remember much of the stress i gave to myself.. but i DID work hard. and managed to CLEAR that module with a grade, C+

HMM.. NOW. DID orange work hard? YES. BUT is the grade good? HMM.. depends on how u look at it. ^^ Cos Orange really struggle between the DABAO line and the CLEAR line.. i was thinking i might flunk the paper straight after the exams... and to go THRU another SEMESTER with THAT module, ALgorithms.. ITS A NO NO...and a OH NO!!!

=.=" WELL... hehe..i recalled all this while chatting with him. HMM.. and so when he asked so HOWS EVERYTHING NOW? HAHAS.. i dunno how to reply.. i was tongue-tied for a moment... *sigh* How i wish i got go back to the good-o-days back in POLY... when Orange was ONCE a super ON and Hardworking Gal... with a right mind to STUDY =.=

Now come to think of it.. i wonder how life would be for me if i didn't went for the SUNTEC SAF Career Exhibition in 2003, and instead went for Queensland University of Technology where I got myself a place.. and even after tat 2004 I got myself a place in Monash University also. These were the things I gave up for.. I think things would be super different from now.

Time can't reverse...Nor will it stop for us. it's how well u maximise time to WORK for u..

I believe all things that happen really has its purpose from God. Even placing me in Serangoon Secondary.. when all the strange, weird, extraordinary things...hahas...u name it... can actually happen to me.. i wasn't a born runner u know.. HAHAS. God has been very gracious to me.. through education.. *gosh* my grades from PSLE wasn't shiny at all.. then in secondary things suddenly changed.. and now financially..

He has helped me to clear this money burden off from my family so whatever i spent won't add on to their burden and whatever i earn can ease their burden.

HMM.. am i gg philosophical again? WAHAHAHAHS.. sitting in front of this LCD monitor in LWN library can really allow my mind to flow freely after an entire's day of SCHOOL! ^^

Today didn't go swimming NOR running... cos think the weather isn't really good.. hehe.. or orange just making an excuse? ^^,

*growling* OOPS.. there goes.. my stomach is crying again! WELL.. CELINE said so! oh BOY.. this means orange should go for dinner now! HMM.. craving for a bowl of hot noodles soup now! then back HOSTEL! hehehe... how long orange took to write this BLOG? long ah.. cos hp smses.. check emails and stuff.. hahas!

According to my watch, now the time says 1940! ^^,

Need Motivation in BOTH S.T.U.D.Y and P.L.A.Y

OH boy bLOOGIE... AM i early!

HEHE... now 1st lesson of the day...its group work lab... HAHAS.. and now only one of my group mates came. Hahas... =.=" HMM.. actually also cannot blame them la.. this lab is an alternating one.. also not all of them stay in school.. hehe.. like me. so I guess... HAHAS...

now still waiting for our DEAR project manager to come! HEH.. so Orange got 101 reasons for telling bLOOgie all these!

HMM.. Orange thinking... should i go swimming later in the evening? ^^,

The weather here SEEMS fine.. but hor.. HMM.. i think this morning abit the... er.. HAZY.. making me feel a bit the... er.. LAZY.. HAHAHAHAHAS.

HMM.. NOW is like.. 2 Person and ME... waiting for... er... 5 more pple?


*Clock Ticking*


YAY! Project Manager is HERE! ^^

OK... *reading through compiled project plan* WAH... Project Manager so good la... He compile and even helped us to adjust our language.. u know there's a software thats free online and even helps u to convert current word document into PDF format? Hahas...our Project Manager uses that... Woot! Now the whole project plan looks SUPER impressive! ^^ HEHE..GOOD... THANK GOD!!! That's y i'm i this GROUP! WAHAHAHAS ^^,

OK... swimming or not, later will depends on Orange's MOOD after end of school today!

Till THEN! ^^,

M.O.T.I.V.A.T.I.O.N

Bloggie... by right i should feel moody and stressful.

But dunno why.. after the RUN yesterday... wah. everything seems OK. ^^,

I really wanna thank God for yesterday's evening weather cooling and fine... it just pops into my mind to msg Songqian to join me for run after school ends like.. 5.30pm? HAHAS... Didn't expect him to reply a YES la! YAY! Orange GOT a companion to RUN! ^^

This time round, he said we'll run a longer route than before... OMG... Its a surprise to me la.. we RAN from NTU to OCS! u hear me...? ITS OCS!!!

OMG... inside me feel like giving up.. but another half of me said do not stop... at most run slowly...HAHAS.. guess wat? Orange CHOSE the latter! The route was like a well blend of UPS and DOWNS.. reflecting on our ups and downs we faces in life.. hahas ...oh BOY.. i'm getting philosophical about things again!

We ran pass the bridge connecting from Pasir Laba side to OCS... then INTO OCS.. Down the memory lane.. i'll never forget this lane which i ran daily for every weekdays.. unless CAT 1 weather..FOR 1 YEAR!

from Basic Military Training... to Tri-Service Term.. to Midshipmen School (MIDS) Basic Naval Term... to MIDS Advance Naval Term.. Early every morning wake up, warm up and run at 0535 (hope i remembered correctly)... HAHAHAS... those days were stressful.. physically and mentally. =.=" Hahas.. our MIDS Wing was the WELL KNOWN Lighthouse of OCS.. the lights were never out.. nights after nights doing planning and charting stuff.. until next morning straight go for morning run WITHOUT a wink of SLEEP...now can u imagine...

After all the grueling training.. Thats y Orange still maintaining fitness now.. WAHAHAHAS! For the civilians..HMM, its DEFINITELY better than the wat.. Slimming Centres or Slim pills from pharmacy.. HAHAS.

I was looking at the Block of Sierra Wing when Songqian asked me if i want to pop into MIDS Wing to see if can meet any of our ex instructors from Navy.. OF COS i don't mind! So we ran into MIDS Wing.. the feeling cannot be expressed in words. every step leads to a set of old sweet memories..

SO, we ran in, and guess WHO saw us? Hahas.. Its Xueying's Boy Boy.. So Coincident la! He was driving into MIDS Wing..hehe then he even asked us whether we want a free ride! WAHAHAHAS...! Cannot la.. *pengs* so many temptations to stop la.. =.="

Cannot... Orange got a companion to run with her..its to MOTIVATE her. IF alone.. HEHE.. maybe can? ^^

HAHAS... so.. we ran like half of OCS then back to NTU. WAh.. the route is like.. LONG. Thank God I did my regular running for past weeks.. else.. i think CMI. Poor Songqian because of me cannot sprint to his usual pace.. and he still kept motivating me, pacing me and checking with me whether i OK or not.. HAHAS.. Songqian, THANKS! ^^

Met our MIDS batch, Zhi Wen when we were approaching the route end. Cos SO long never catch up with him le.. so we stopped! hehe.. finally stop! WELL.. i could continued to run de u know... but i guess its a super GOOD workout for me tat day already! ^^

We ended the exercise with the NICE porridge from Canteen 1! Hehe.. Its SUPER BIG BOWL of smooth yummy traditional Cantonese porridge... i ordered Fish with 1 EGG and he ordered Fish with CHICKEN! Gosh.. he can really eat. Hahas.. he even wanted to order dumpling noodles..but after he finished the porridge, he was GLAD that he didn't ordered..else he would have problem finishing! HAHAS.

HMM... now is like my 2 thighs are a bit aching..hehe.. but it reminded me tat i had a good workout!

HAHAS... WELL.. AFTER a long hard day of brain thinking for labs.. Met Songqian for dinner at CANTEEN 1 again! HAHAS.. time for him to try out whats NICE over HERE in CANTEEN 1! Canteen 2 always leave us with smelly clothes.. =.=" HAHAS.. ANYWAYS i also long time never try out the dumplings in CANTEEN 1.. Yummy!

See how's our schedule for next week... if can, we go try out the FAMOUS LONG QUEUE Noodles Stall at NIE! ^^

OK, orange needs to use some brain power again...
TILL THEN.. BLOOGIE.. Orange WILL MISS YOU..
