tribute to Mediaworks.... 

Nothing else can be said. Nothing said can do anything.
All is lost. But why?
Tricia had only lived 3 years, she has not seen much in her short life?
What about jean lee? She is only 6. She was going to start a new school soon. Very soon she would be dressed in a primary school uniform. But she will never will now.
How I wish I could go there now. To Phuket. Even if I have no skills to contribute, let me comfort a child without a parent. Let me cry for those too young to understand. Let me be there with them to comfort their souls.
Life is unfair, but no one said devastating. Since the tsunami hit the shores of Sri Lanka, Aceh, Indonesia, Penang, India, Maldives, Myanmar, we feel we have meet the end. The numbers mean nothing to me; I’ve grown numb to them. Tens of thousands here, tens of thousands there. All I want for New Year now would be the peace in their souls and the survival of those missing.
Today is the last day of 2004. All I hope for is the world praying heart and soul to those lost. Nothing could prevent a disaster if it’s meant to be, all we can do is question. Instead of questioning, let’s put in our hearts and souls to pray to all the different Gods to be merciful. Even if they are by Lord’s side, let them had no pain when they passed on…

Sad Time...
So many lives lost...
So many children without parents no more...
So many parents without their children no more...
So many homes lost..
So many tears have fallen...
So many people are lost... In the present confusion....
Please help them.. Please, Lord, guide them back to their loved ones. Let their souls be in peace..

Christmas Eve! 

Can't believe it.. i bought a present for everyone as well as a bday gift to ducky... but ya have to get it next year.. 

We Wish You a Merry Christmas....

4 ErOm SyAd... better start preparine the IOUP slips (i owe you presents slips) 

It's the 20th !!!!!!
Oh my God! I'm still short of 3 christmas presents and one birthday present. Never mind if can't make it then a IOU will have to do.
Now there's a person over my shoulder looking at the screen. I always have a person peering over my shoulder. I don't always peer at what they do but they always do that. Think i may develop some psychological nut feeling of people looking over my shoulder. Kind of creepy actually. Wonder if a signboard can cure the problem.
This week there is a case of a maid throwing a 5 month old boy down the block. That is so scary as the reports seem to be a sudden change in the maid.

Condolences...
I not sure when exactly is the memorial service for Mr Lim and his wife but according to the newspaper, it's today.
Dear Lord, I pray to You Let their Souls find Peace in your Heaven
Dear Lord, I pray to You Deliver Pain away From the Families
Dear Lord, I pray to You Let their love and care continue to spread among all that know them
Amen.

Today is an exception. Tommorrow i'll put up 2 pictures instead. Hope all even those who don't know them, pray for them as well. I heard sucide and murder victims have to relive their deaths when they die according to belief. I'm not sure about accident victims, but if they are in the same limbo, pray they will leave it.

Winnie the Pooh Ain't it cute?
So it's now 9 days away....
So far I've bought my sister's and my guide sister's christmas present. Saw a ducky cup a few days ago but very heavy so didn't get it for you ducky. So far my headache is my brother. What he wants he won't ask, but everything I know he wants will drive my mum up the wall.( Namely games) Oh ya he made it to Faith 2-1. Maybe if he works harder he can be the only one in the family who touches biology. It's his dream to cut stuff up and I think since young the encouragement of being a doctor means you can save on medicine has adversely influenced him, as in he only aims to be one but heck cares about his present health. What to do?? Nothing. Stubborn mentality of his.

PS. If ya going to the funeral its at marine parade touch centre as stated in the newspaper obituarity section. They published the wedding photo.

10 more... but still sad...
Today the newspaper released a photo of my ex-pe teacher, Mr John Lim and his wife. For the first time, i can look at my teacher's picture and say beautiful. It was not the photo itself but the wide smiles on their faces. So serene and happy. Just like what they would have been today. However, the Lord has taken them to His side. The newpapers describe them as kind souls but i feel like its not enough. Actually there's no words that describe what teachers do for us and they were so described so helpful in church. They are like those people when you wanna question Him why they have to go first? It's so unfair! But no one can control the world's ways. All we can do is offer comfort to their families. Let's pray that they will gain peace within them nd step out of this unfortunate event.
I recall that most of my friends were not happy to be in NYJC. They said the place sucked, the teachers were rotten and the school was low rated. Never did they say it was because they did not do well enough to get in the top few. Never did they admit that the teachers actually helped them alot. Never did they mention the leniency on students vandalising the tables. I admit i was one of them. Leaving NYJC was sad for most of us because we thought that we may not be able to see our friends often. Now i realised something. We left and we were sad because we will not be able to meet in a warm enviroment which we have growed familar to its dusty floors, echoy container rooms, uncomfortable chairs and tables, green tiles on the concourse, flooding water between the canteen and school and the weird far canteen. We were sad because we were out in the world without the lame jokes and chit chats with our teachers who don't give up on us. Yes everyone must have meet a person who is just not a teacher in their lives but when we meet those that ARE teachers, we discriminate them into the same category the minute they step on our toes. However they never leave you. I realised that it's hardly the teachers that give up first, it's always us. The minute we say no, no takes over. Now in university the relationship between student teacher or student student is not as strong as those formed in primary, secondary or JC. We are always changing teachers, changing classmates. We no longer have to face the same people day in day out. Boy, I miss those days...

11 days more........
Yesterday i received a sms from my friend saying that one of my ex-pe teachers had died on his honeymoon in NZ. Both if us could not believe it. I checked with the newpapers online and a friend that went to his wedding. It was confirmed, they had died in NZ in a car accident. It's amazing that it seemed only recently that blessings were offered for their future and their future is so short-lived. It is sort of ironic too.I am thankful to him for being a very patient teacher. I could not reach my broad jump PFT silver standard. I forgot how many times i jumped, but i definitely reached the normal limit for most. I was nearly going to give up. Think it was nearly the last week to change my grade for PFT and way past lesson time. I think it was selena accompanying me( which kind of wrong person to find since she always nearly flies off the mat with 1 swing) or qt( think that time she injured her knee). I forgot that day i jumped how many times. However he still let me try again and continued giving me tips. In the end,( huang tian bu fu you xin ren), i managed to pass.
We want to thank teachers but we can't seem to do it. it seemed nothing can repay their patientance and guidance with us, their sacrifices to help us. They are not paid to chit chat with us, play along our silly games, stay back to help us, etc, after all they are human and they have their own lives. However they still do it, they still place importance on us students. (This of course expires with you reach university where the lecturers and tutors are like a bar from you. They strictly do what they are paid for. So what if they are paid higher?) Just like family and friends, no one is born with the job of listening to our whines,comforting our fears and sorrows, helping us think of ways, or putting up with our attitudes. We want to thank them but we can't seem to as we know family, friends and teachers are people who sacrifice to help us in our lives, and nothing can replace its value. Life is full of unexpectancies, no one can predict the future. The more we try to avoid, the more we will be facing it.

12 more days............. I have not bought anything or gone out... Frens out there! Please drag me out of my house or i'll really forget to buy presents.........

Jingle Bells jingle bells jingle all the way

Never knew Xmas can be stressful.... when it comes to buying presents, nothing seems to suit the person you are buying. The problem would be the people around me are generally satisfied ( maybe except for costs over my and their budget limits.)
The long awaited++Today'S phrase++ What is a second nowadays? It's a finger snap only.

Die Ah! I have not bought xmas cards. Note to self: Counting down to chrismas means need to start buying stuff.

Yesterday, they released news of the post merger effects on both companies. I really agree with my friend. It's not a merger but a takeover. One has 132 people retrenched, of a certain amount are artistes. Since the other won't take them in, where can they go to do their specialities? Especially the background crew. A lot of potential artisties are lost.( Although they are much better compared to some newbies in the other company, suppose business is not fair; personal grudges score more.) Okay so i'm a channel U supporter. However you can't disagree that the other channel lacks originality seriously and their drama serials are deproving. How i miss the old dramas like Ai yo yo Lao Shi and Hong Tou Jing. The present ones are made more or less for the newbies to be themselves and hardly any variety in character. Ai ya what am i to say? Afterall everything is settled. It's back to boring TV.

Think its about time to go buy xmas gifts already. And cards as well. So today's phrase would be.. ++Today's Phrase++ Time runs, we run with it. So value time!
Today i'm supposed to meet the bedok girls (this name is weird because 2 of don't even stay in areas with bedok-something on it) to swim but i already feel quite tired. Maybe its last night movie which i watched till 12 plus. Qt, the next time let's confirm a time and day to go. It will be interesting to watch the swimless duck finally taking on H2O.

Neat pic rite! I love it too. Okie what should i start first...
++Today's phrase of the day++
Life is made of many steps. Each steps lead to different destinations. Learn how to choose them.

Now i'm listening to Garth Gates' Spirit in The Sky. Thus song is real cute. It's about life after death, as in where you go. The song lyrics say go to the place that's the best. I also watched the second episode of Ling Lou. It's about a area between heaven and hell. It's where those who have equal good and bad in them are stuck in. Although the show has its ridiculous parts like the showgirls, it still has a pigment of believe. The belief of a level where people come to be when they are neither accepted in heaven nor hell. These people become wondering ghosts. Instead, this show gives them a chance to repent or degrade themselves.
Really wonder when we die, will we get the chance to repent? So many people die daily, do they all get chances? If we want to repent, shouldn't we do it now, when we are alive?
Now i understand why the chinese always say " Ji de"(collecting morals). It is like you do good things, you will have more and more opporunties to enter heaven.
So calling out to all! Do a good deed a day, keeps the devil away!
Just like my brownie's motto..Lah Lah Lah! (Do a good deed a day)

23 Days to Christmas...............
Yesterday was the singapore idol finals. Taufik won..Hooray( although i expected, hence the shock is less.) What would have been shocking would be that Slyvester wins with his mass appeal. Yesterday battle was more of a fight between power and appeal. Don't take mw wrong. Slyvester has his good points but there's something missing still. Some skills in his singing that oes not make different enough from the original singers. However he has improved too like Taufik. Perhaps just not enough. Anyway there are 4 recording contracts and artiste management offers going around. So the competition at the final should have been the fiercest. Afterall, who's out won't get a contract and will have the complete ash of hopes. It a competition for the title, but a title alone can't get you far if you don;t work hard. Just look at Ruben and Clay. he world saw Clay's album and know him more than Ruben and he is second. So many seasons, so many people. The only real idol would be the first--Kelly.
++Today's phrase++ let me think........Love is like a mirror, through it you will start to see the flaws of yourself through your lovers'.
**Neat rite! Actually i heard this one somewhere but can't recall....
