Hope

O Week officially starts tomorrow.

Thrilled?? Nervous?? Scared??

Haha don't know what to feel.
I WANNA MAKE FRIENDSSSS.

Maybe i should make myself a name tag going "HELLO my name is Joy" :x

I'm quite excited but again overwhelmed by all the activities! Hopefully everyone will be open to.new people and I can make fast friends :>

Also need to remember to be a good testimony hehehe

P.S: Giselle your landlord sounds like a nightmare :-( Stay safe!

Flaws

Written at Sunday, February 23, 2014

I'll put the question out there: are we always asked to love ourselves?

My answer is yes.
Not in an arrogant way, but a gentle self-confident way.
So that we won't be afraid of our own opinions, so we can stand our ground.

But sometimes, I really hate myself.
To be specific, my character-
I am so full of flaws that I know I have yet am too lazy to change.

Let's give a list of examples.
Who else is this disorganized?
Who else is always this late?
Who else is this dependent on others?

And it is the worst to know your flaws and try to accept constructive criticism but be too narrow minded to actually put them to use.

Sometimes it's horrible to be condescendingly labelled an xmm. (xiao mei mei)

"ARE you sure you can do xx or yy?"
Try to listen to that in an unhelpful voice and... It sorta puts my mood down.

Spurs me to do better though!

Also dislike it when others instantly assume i will bring over my bad habits to new things.

Can't you give me a chance to be a better person? I want to be neat too okay?! A little encouragement goes a long way.

But i have to remember to not retaliate harshly to people whom i ought to listen to.
Friday's YF message was on being a servant-leader!
A leader with humility.

i really need to walk with God every day
I wanna be closer to Him T^T

Monday timetabling woes

Written at Saturday, February 22, 2014

Why do you tell me-

That you will comeee

On a Saturday

When you don't work on weekendssss~

I feel so cheated,

And also have no internet:

Why why why

Do you do this to me

xxxrit Telecom~

I neeeeeed myyyy internet;

I'm surviving on 3G now~

You can put your own tune to these lyrics! :D

Up and down

Exercise gives you happy endorphins~~

Went for badminton with the churchies today at Monash!

It wasn't much of an exercise but I really enjoyed it.

I laughed so hard at all the funny actions and words from everyone!

E.g William being a "gentle swan", Keene bullying Huixian with drop shots, me missing the shuttlecocks HAHAHA

It was like unofficial jokester day.

I suppose the exercise did relax my stress from earlier in the day :>

(AAD- information overload and enrolment problems)

And I got to meet new people too!!!

I always say exercising is a happy pill but never actually get around to working out.

Hmm.

Anyway badminton drained my energy too and I become really really tireddd.

They drove to Glen Waverley afterwards for supper and my face was just (-u-) HAHA.

But I got tauhuey and red bean buns from the Asian shops there!!!

Speaking of tauhuey, I recently (yesterday) went to N2 to check out their Tofu Gelato.

Which is essentially tauhuey gelato.

In the end I didn't take it, but I did get a few scoops of it!

It's pretty nice and authentic :D

But since there aren't any other ingredients inside, it gets a little boring after a while...

HOWEVER IT'S REALLY SMOOTH!

I give it a 7.8/10 recommendation.

Right back to the topic.

On the way home being so sleepy I felt quite saaaad.

I had a lengthy sort of h2ht with William in the car!

I'm glad William's my friend heh.

I was sad about the dead shrub in my balcony

And Giselle leaving for UQ D:

It finally hit me that she's so far away

And I can only talk to her through technology.

I can't ever hug her till we meet physically! (And when will that be?!)

Giselle, all the best in UQ okay!

May the Lord guide you in whatever you do and make you a channel of blessing for others.

I'm sure you'll meet many new friends (don't lock yourself in your room!!)

So don't forget Palmie ok? Remember to send us photos of your river!

Haha.

Separation is tough.

But friendship is magic~*

First step?

AAD is tomorrow

(Academic Advice Day)

Frankly very overwhelmed by all the subjects in Science..

The handbook is bursting with detail!

But now I have so many things to consider, like pre-reqs for a major,

Or the equivalent of a GCE O Level grade.

Gyah I just pray that God will give me wisdom to choose subjects wisely that will lead down His grand plan for me!!

Sooo tired now I have to sleep or I'll fall asleep during the talks tomorrow.

Palmie memories

Written at Wednesday, February 19, 2014

[Wrote this last Saturday when I arrived in melb but didn't have internet to publish it!]

Back to Melbourne but it doesn't seem the same as last year...

Both literally and figuratively.

A few new cafes have popped up over the city area!

And of course the Palmie intake has changed.

Met a few of the new people when I went back to take some belongings

(and they are pretty quiet...)

It was such a great pleasure to see Minn again :') (missed Unni)

Reminded of the good ol' days again.

Ivon the caretaker UPGRADED EVERYTHING BY A MILE!!!

The chairs are these cute green chairs with proper backings,

The table is this nice white Ikea table,

There are potted plants all over!!

The tattered bookcase in the dining hall also became a cute squared nook bookcase.

The new kids have it so lucky.

And the auntie erased my House's whiteboard marker legacy from the fridge in House 5 :(((

(Mainly just random scribbles and drawings acquired over the year)

Oh oh and I met Elizabeth! Like finally!

Hahaha her mannerisms are really like David's.

Anyway I wanted to talk to her more but she had to go off to the museum :(

(Jetsetter all now😂)

I hope the Palmie/CS kids come back to Melb soon!!!

Missing them wherever I go.

Like they say, home is where the heart is ❤️

And Giselle Shona NSmen PANGSEH

Dang I really wanna make this into a poster

Attachment

Written at Friday, February 14, 2014

So much to blog but I don't have the words.

Really really dislike this feeling where you just have so much in your brain you want to spill out but your vocabulary and hands just SWITCH OFF and you're left going uhhhhh like a person that just woke up.

Anyway I think I'm gonna be "painting the town red" really soon, because boy have I been on a rollercoaster... Of feeeeels.

Excited,

Sad

Angry,

Brooding,

Happy..

You name it, I felt it.

One of the more important thoughts forefront in my mind definitely has to be flying back to Melbourne.

It's horrible and yet so NEW and EXCITING all at the same time.

I quote a friend: "How can a small heart the size of your fist feel so much at once?"

I'll get the stinky thoughts out of the way first so here goes-

I don't want to leave.

To be more specific, I don't wanna leave this vacation.

Leaving means the friends and family get left behind.

Friends- the people whom I forged stronger relationships when I came back, and

Family- the people who unknowingly have been there for me all the time.

The Palmie guys going to NS get a special category- they are melbourne friends HELLO

It sucks to be broken apart from Palmie in this heartless way :/

To add fuel to the fire, we didn't even take a proper group photo!!! Even at paintball!

(sah frustrated)

And of course I don't want to leave this pampered life!

The internet speeds... I'll miss them.

Hahaha ^_^

But I know if I get spoiled I'll lose drive so on to the EXCITING part!!

UNI

I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT TO DO WELL IN BUT UNI

AND MY OWN APARTMENT

It's just like a thrill of being *~independent~* and all that.

And yay LEGIT MELBOURNE FRIENDS from church!!

Oh oh and new friends from school!! Heh can't wait to join clubs or something so I can have a balanced life.

Even though Trinity is kind of like Uni but I'm determined to at least treat Uni life better than Trinity life.

To treat school like a job!!! Just watched a video on it and the message was really simple: BE FOCUSSED IN SCHOOL.

Treat uni like work!

Yes and living on my own...

Pretty darn excited about that even though I have to do everything on my own.

And apparently if I fry food the whole odour permeates the apartment.

BUT I get to cook my own food! That's bound to be exciting (and yeah I know the thrill will wear off)

I get to be my own nutritionist! :D

Oh I forgot the most important thing too!

Serving in CGF this year!!

Whoohoo, my debut everyone.

(Although it's just cleaning up but I'm grateful for any opportunity to serve God yeah yeah)

I'm just looking forward to being on my own and sorting out my own shit and being responsible for stuff

And subscribe to good newspapers hahaha

BECAUSE THAT IS THE WAY TO MATURE.

(Even though i wanna be Forever Young)

And I will end off with a quote from 987FM's new short Candle:

"Time is a candle's flame and what burns are the minutes we live."

We are epheremal indeed.

Oovoo fun

Missing them to bitssss

And my grandpa has oovoo!! How hip is he nyahaha

Think on godly things

Written at Sunday, February 09, 2014

"Finally, brethren,

whatsoever things are true,

whatsoever things are honest,

whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure,

whatsoever things are lovely,

whatsoever things are of good report,

if there be any virtue

and if there be any praise,

think on these things."

In times of trouble I need to reflect this in my life!

Not everything's been smooth sailing these past few days (especially in terms of mood)

Haven't been getting positive vibes from loved ones in a while T__T

I suppose I shall just concentrate on "thinking on these things" and everything will naturally fall in place.

Somehow when God's commandments are obeyed you can really feel the good difference in your life!

In somewhat related news I am rather excited about Palmie Day

Although not everyone can go for everything?

I really miss the whole Palmerston House family atmosphere.

(& went to Nook with Audrey on Thursday! It was an alternative to Carpenter And Cook which was closed on that day.)

A Bad Habit!!

Written at Wednesday, February 05, 2014

Flaky Friends- a song by Anna Akana
WATCH IT

WATCH IT

(But eh there are some f words!! D: Ignore them sigh why couldn't she have sung it without vulgarities)

(watching it a second time i realised WOW A LOT OF VULGARITIES T__T)

Aaaanyway. It describes me to a T please.
I always pangseh people on the day itself!!
I have to kick this very bad habit!

It's timing that always drags me down!
I always don't plan for delays, travelling time, procrastination and what not.
SO NOW I ALWAYS HAVE TO GIVE MYSELF TIME BUFFERS.
AND PACK MY BAGS IN ADVANCE.
AND MAKE SURE I LEAVE THE HOUSE ON TIME.

OH AND WHEN MEETING SOMEONE, BE AT LEAST 5 MINUTES EARLY!!

*pumps fist into air*

YEAH MOTIVATION!!!

A new resolution for 2014!

{To be punctual and not be a flaky friend}

P.S: I've found that for myself, if I'm feeling particularly lazy, I just have to yell out

"WILLPOWER!!!!"

Into the air and force myself to get up.

That usually does the trick for me :)

Note that I said FORCE! I am in no way such a responsible and mature person to actually volunteer to get up to do chores I don't like.

Huehuehue

Maybe one day I can go

"STUDY!!!!"

And I will! *o*

((Hahahaha what a faraway dream))

Popping my head in

Written at Tuesday, February 04, 2014

It's Tuesday!!!
Haven't posted since last Thursday (CNYE)
I'm so sorry...

Anyway blessed CNY everyone!
I hope y'all had fun strutting about in your new clothes and talking to your relatives and eating goodies and of course getting angbaos~

So as I said below, I was going to take photos with the relatives this CNY!
And I'm so glad I did.
It's not really a tradition in my family to take photos, probably because the family is quite old/traditional and we don't whip out cameras to document moments?
(Usually when we arrive, we exchange pleasantries and the greetings and the oranges, and just hang around to chat.)
Or perhaps we just don't feel our relatives dear enough to capture on film?!!

WELL.
Anyway I did use my camera during the bainians this year!!!
Good decision *pats self on back*
It was nice to gather round with the relatives to take a good photo :)
And it was so cute to see the older ones call their spouses for a photo!
"阿冠啊来拍照啊!!" (Ah Guan come to take a photo aah~!)

And old people are so squishy and nice to hug.
Whoops did I just type that out?? >~<

Haha this was a quick post, I have to run off now so enjoy this photo!
(But you don't know who they are RIGHT so probably not :()
See you soon! I wanna blog more about Chinese New Year :3
