The Melody of Christmas...
in my heart there rings a MELODY (:

well, today's another nice day... :P
nearly went crazy towards the end of the day wahhahax!
ok let's start it proper from the top...

-------------------------

8.32am, in church...
HUNTING for mimers!!
and well, started kind of late...
but had fun!

performed Prahat Khong Phracaw... and Firm Foundation...
well, some people couldnt stand the song...
LOL, but who cares... it is not against the law...
and it was not in the spirit of a hooligan...
so, i guess it is fine... haiz...
really hope trivial issues like this will arise no more...

well, had a LARGE sunday school class...
and had lunch and then choir...
ah, again... the choir times are ones of the most fun...
because we're like surrounded by music...
but somehow, everytime after warmups..
i feel like i gonna just go dead...
seriously, i never fail to turn giddy ahhhh!

and then Aunty Choy Peng treated us to veryvery nice little cake-treaties (:
they were YUMMIEX!! thank you!
and poor me, had to rush home...
because every minute longer in church means less chance of going to the Christmas dinner at Aunty Arlyn's house... !!

so, good thing i know how to talk my mum into it...
whahahx, racheal was grumbling siah...
and then spent the rest of the time chatting with mummy in diversification...
and painting my nails LOLx..

was late to meet up edith, alissa, joan...
well, and joan closed the car door on alissa's foot... OW!
well, i kena b4 too... felt like dying... wahhahx!
but then she still can run after bball...
so maybe she was faking LOL...

ok, so we played bball (a veryvery wet one indeed)
and then i helped out with some verse-finding (oh mann, im the wrong person to find! wahhax but i was too free...)
and then we had songs before a big feast of turkey and ham and meat and salad...
and there was a dozen rounds of arm wrestling (kinda interesting to watch people's faces go red or go 'swan' LOL and see how they react on the game!)

well, and we had that choir-song craze again...
and we had LOADS AND LOADS of fun...
if only carolling would be like that every year...
everyone singing in PARTS!!! (X

unfortunately, mummy dragged me home at 11pm...
soo sad!! but i reli did have fun..
and i'll probably recall back this few wonderful christmases i had!! (:
-> after mt ophir...
-> We Are The Reason
-> 2006 everything is special... (aunty persis house/choir/aunty arlyn house)

----------------------------

so just wanna thank God for the ability to share the joy of Christmas in fellowship and love and music.. (:
and to learn that every moment become HISTORY...

sorry larhx, but i said many times liaox...
since the time of the Chiangmai trip...
or trace back a whole time to 2004 where 2INTEGRITY ruled...
ive really learned the meaning of Treasuring (2004) and of History (2006)
but seriously, no matter how hard we treasure it all,
it still feels inadequate and as if it is slipping away? lolx
well, dunkaire... today im high, and let's just leave it as that! (X

*btw, this is like the first time i ate Turkey in YEARS!!! (: WHAHAX, i feel Deprived LOL!

carolling...

today we had carolling...
an annual must-have event...
and yep that fellowship was wonderful...

Racheal and I woke up at 10am...
and had a rushed breakie b4 reaching church on time...
BUT guess what... everyone else's LATE...
it is like only Yan Yi was there la! and Joan i thinkk...
so I went to find my 'best friend' LOL... (as usu)
had a great time at the minigrand...
and somehow lost track of time...

by the time i went back downstairs,
only few people were added to the mime pract counting on the songs played Lek Xuan's hp

so, i went up again until 11.30am...
felt kind of guilty for not following the plan even though people are late...
but i think it's better to be upstairs and surrounded in music rather than the crappx of others...
(u'll see what i mean later)

and then we practise a relireli short while before we set off to Elder Prasad's house...
dogs as usual... hahax and it reminded me of one carolling where mummy made us leave...
because we had to attend a wedding the next day... sad la, but im glad we finished through this year...
*at least i fulfilled my wish, to even finish through carolling once!*

well, so next is JuEng home...
it felt honestly pleasant to be back there...
hahax, it is been like so long since the last time ive been there...
and i like helping out because i reli can sense the practical way...
in which we are able to spread the joy in us... (:

*oh and here comes the crappy left-brainy part*
as usual, i hate it when impromptus are not put to the best effort...
like even the kin kin tia...
people just like 'anything oso can'...
haiz, it's just a disease in me ba...
the perfectionist part i guess...
well, dun like disorderliness and all that lorhx...

and then we went into small dangerous rds for big vehicles...
just to reach Uncle Ronnie Pang's house...
am i glad every house we went to this year had a piano!! :P
*at least ive a reason not to play crazy games with mad people*

and then we went to Uncle Mohan's house...
the game was like retarded...
ok the game itself is fine...
but for people like me, LOL hu hates forfeits... wahahax
and at least i dun like purposely laugh at others' plight...
or SABO people...
*well it is the 1st time that i officially eat WASABI*
other times were added in small amts to food, that i didnt actually know, so not counted
but seriously, it is not spicy... i just hate the SMELL...
ewww...

left the house at 10pm but ma pick us up like at 10.30pm!?!?
and well, just bathed and am kinda tired...
but again not sleepy...
whahax

----------------------------------

Not-so-good parts:

-> didnt like the way mad people play crazy games...
they play games that almost beat each other up!??!
(lucky i managed to refrain since Chiangmai... all thnks to the music talent God gave me (: )
and they shout and scream as if they were the only people hu had ears?!?!
(shouting and screaming is not wrong but i think they went overbored?)
forfeits that see people's plight? sick or what??
not that i purposely wanna make a fuss... but come on, it's not that interesting to see agony or test their endurance ba...

-> after mummy mentioned about how carolling used to be... i started to think...
the meaning of it was suppose to spread the gospel to unsaved relatives and the joy of sharing it...
not having fun ourselves and thinking about whether it's the best ever...
well, i dunno... not that this one is whatever...
as in seriously, can see the effort... and i think this one rather great!!
but i suddenly feel like experiencing what my mum means...
or maybe if the type of carolling she means come to pass in the future...
we might see our people get 'POSSESSED BY GOD' more often... LOLX

well... IM BORED..

well im relireli BORED...

i guess ive just missed the presence of a tight crazy schedule...
call me nuts... but im beginning to enjoy it! whahahax
well, its better to be occupied then to know that u got loads to do...
and not feel like doing any at all...

by the way... i slept another 14hours again...
and i reli dint expect it to happen a 2nd time...

and then had a real breakfast at 12pm...
*the 1st time i ate bread and peanut butter in months*
and it somehow felt yummy!

then was uploading the YF retreat fotos...
and unpacked camp stuff... because my mum was nagging like it wouldnt endd!
and then i went to practise the choir songs... dun wanna to go spoil the show...
hmmmz... and i did just that for like about 2hrs...
and NOW... i can play a simplified version of MY CHRISTMAS GIFT! and ROSE OF BETHELEHEM!!!
wahahax, it rox... i mean the songs... on pure piano... its like reli nice...
and the other thing is that... Rose of Bethelehem the ending of each verse...
has an identical tune to one other song...
*which ive cracked my brain thinking about it but still cannot recall its title*
it could be Princess Mononoke, but im not very sure AND it is should be part of a show from the animated series... (:

so later this evening...
i should be going to do the Christmas present...

and there's just one more thing...
the sad thing is that maybe we wont have a Christmas dinner at our house le...
oh mann, isnt that sadd lol...
maybe because we havent had one in ages...
but the main thing is that i wanted one, only with pure YFers...
only that i guess it is going to be kind of last minute...
and the actual date that marmi set, wasnt going to get full attendance whahahax!

ok whatever, so i shant crapp more in here...
hahax buaibuaiii!... (:

CAMP ROX!

hmmz... im just back from camp like about 45mins ago...
but it will probably be more than 45 by the time i post this haha...

well, yep YF camp retreat rox!
ok not that it's like perfect or whatsoever... (which isnt actually)
but more like we had a great time and meaningful bonds were made!
never felt better that's all...
AND once again, music ruled my time there... whahahx!

the weather nearly dampened our spirits...
but i should say that the camp comm. is able to accomodate it all.. (:
well, maybe after Chiangmai trip,
i kind of accept changes to plans better...
although i still dun like it LOL..

hmmx... it is like how i wish the sleeping times were later like Chiangmai...
and then we can sing into the night...
BUT at the same time, im relieved the nights ended sooner...
because somehow they didnt turn out as well...
i dunno la... it nearly drove me crazy...
and so, i didnt sleep as efficiently...
even though it is like 6hrs of sleep but it's truly sufficient time...

so we ended with a bbq...
wasnt as hungry...
but the roasting of marshmellows cooked my knuckles and 1st 2 fingers of each hand...
oh mann, i could even see the redness in the dim light at the bball court later... LOL

oh btw, we played bball in the rain...
an irresistable game of too many people in a half court and funny-comical-pro players...
whahax... plus the presence of people hu attack another who has the ball, rather ruthlessly...
LOL and it is true!

----------------------------------------------

well, so eh i actually got lotsa say...
after everything came crashing in my brain...
but since i got no access to blogging...
so i just typed everything in my hp...
ok, so ive got lotsa secrets there LOL, and have always been...

but the point is...
ok forget it, should spoil my mood tonight and total it up as another 3 bad nights...
so, let me just get a good night's rest...
and talk about it when i feel like it again...

*it is the same old siianx diaox feeling i mentioned before... which is more than just siiandiaox... HAIXXX*

-----------------------------------------

so i dun wanna loso here liaox...
im gonna sleep soon unless i suddenly feel like watching tv... whahax

but wait, i just remembered another thing...
throughout the whole camp...
i had quite only one motive...
to make it the best ever... and to devour every moment with joy...
to let it impact as a memory never to let go...
AND it is all because i had a permanent thought in mine....
cant say what and why...
but it is as if there's no tomorrow... and that's all i can say...

haiz, reli cant imagine if there wasnt...
but it makes me feel even sadder... hurmphx!

becca (: ♥ 8:39 PM


Sunday, December 17, 2006
hmmx...

well, its Sunday...
finally one Sunday that i can actually attend church/sunday sch/choir...

and Bel brought Sharmaine to church...

--------------------------------------------

hmmz... i dunno la...
but singing has a sort of numbing effect...
be it whatever the situation...
it just makes me feel like smiling... haha
well, thank God for that effect...

AND that's what made choir nice...!

except that i do feel reli guilty that i suddenly join at the last minute...
must learn the songs like siao and its like disrupt it la...
and i reli wanna sing for Christmas ma... hahax

--------------------------------------------

well, got the siian diaox feeling again...
frankly speaking in the thai trip, for 3 consecutive evenings...
i nearly died with that feeling... arghx...
but cant elaborate here... so let's just forget it alright...

hmmx, just too tired to deal with it la!

-----------------------------------------=-=-=-=

i gtg People's park NOW... and esp when i just returned home larhx!
its making me get sickkk!

HOME SWEET HOME

HOME SWEET HOME
the flavour of home...
scent of rareness...
atmosphere of none better...
memories captured aplenty...

hmmx...
im a happy gurl who just touched down at 12.46pm...
returning from Thailand, Chiang Mai...


----------------------------------------------------------=-=-=

well, so what now if i missed Grad...
wahhax, i experienced a wonderful encounter...
not close to the real hardship mission field...
but better than nothing...

working at God's right hand...
an honor of the opportunity...
the fellowship part was abundant...
and i guess we learned so much more about each other...

whahahx, but this trip is NOT AND NEVER wasted...
probablly not non-problemfull...
but definitely quite up to expectation..

SPELL SUCCESS... (:

-----------------------

i just did a at-least-30min photoessay speech for my dad...
(who didnt go along with us to Chiangmai)
and i dun like repeating...

so here's a few fotos...
and a short (ihope) summary..

Day 1:

Day 6:
->went to a Strawberry farm... that supplies royalty...
-> shopped at a big shopping centre that looked very CWP-like... (Central Airport Plaza)

ok im crapping...

---------------------------=-=-=

well, i dunno what to say...

but some things sometimes affect me quite a bit...
and maybe the things happen to fast whahahx...

WHATEVER...

----

well, so facts...

-> Christmas present... (shortage)
-> souveneirs... (only some people have, and i dun mean that i purposely left out people... but that i rmbr people by the things i see and who pops into my mind...!!)

-> the thai trip...

(crap, im getting sick of the PLANE!!) OK, not sick like bored or whatever, just the PRESSURE that causes head cramps!)
( its in 3 days, and still counting down! (: )

----

today was fun AND funny...
so i guess everything's gonna be great after all...

well, every day and hour and minute COUNTS...
and every one of us know that...

before and during the Mission...
sounds scary but its true i guess...

the pressure was on last Christmas play and will be back and stronger this time...
only that, hopefully this time we're stronger too (:

-----------------------------------=-=-=

tmr gonna go do recording with some others at Justin's house... aka Daddy's house...
(haiz, some Daddy i have mann... its like its more and more not like Daddy...)
i prefer the Daddy that's comical and smart and mature and GOOD...
sometimes i reli dunno when is he reli my Daddy... haiz...
(well, i dun feel good with Daddy not being so Daddy enough... but who am i to say...)


tmr tmr, last rehearsal to get stuff right for the mission trip... And the last 2 days to pack up...
tmr tmr tmr tmr, gonna go to airport by 4am? or maybe 6am,.?? i wanna SLEEPPPPP...

HAIZ... tight schedule ahead...

-----------------------------------=-=-=


i tink im finally ready to think about those sad stuff again...
and after putting it alll behind me while having my vacation in HK...
i think i have to finally face it..

but at the moment, i dun wanna see you and you...
and maybe, its the escape method...
but i reli think after awhile... i'll be better than ever...

anyway, i dun think i have to ever see you again unless in class gatherings or something...
and i've seen so much more this late november and december...
so i think i'll go on great.. (:

but reli THANKS for the STEPPING STONE into reality and the life i should lead as ME...
maybe, u were reli meant to be a 3yr stepping stone, and that's all...
i wonder how i manage to even say all this...

~ur image lingers but the dread is gone~
