Went to Mr Ang WJ and Mr Kevin Ang's places today with some sixers.
Fun.
Weird to find out that your current history teacher was the good friend of your previous history teacher. And that your KI teacher is the brother-in-law of one of your favourite teachers in secondary school.
Linking Luther because he says so. :P
Few more days till results.
Excuse the morosity of this entry.
Marvin: It could've been worse.

The prospect of it is actually quite gross (who on God's green earth came up with an idea to make plushies out of those?!!) but hey, I can imagine pelting my doctor friends with it on their birthdays. Novel entreprenuring idea to make money. Imagine clutching Syphillis or HIV to sleep every night. o_O
Nyek.
Oh well.
I is wanting sleep. Sleep is what Lizzy shall get. Goodnight everyone.

Secret Garden - GreenwavesI remember a meadow one morning in May.
With a sky full of dreams that sailed in that day.
I was dancing through green waves of grass like the sea
For a moment in time I could feel I was free.
There are waves of forgiveness and waves of regret.
And the first waves of true love I’ll never forget.
In the meadow that morning as I wandered alone
There were green waves of yearning for life
still unknown.
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see.
Take me home to the meadow – we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can se.
Take me home to the meadow – we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
What I’d give to remember that heavenly state
Just a moment in time – all mine to create.
As I’m taking my last breath I know what I’ll see
There’ll be green waves forever out there waiting for me.
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can se.
Take me home to the meadow – we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
In case some of you find it familiar, yes, it probably is.
And so would this,
While though the tempest loudly roars
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
-Enya
There's this nonsensical whirlpool of words making alphabet soup in my head right now.
How did everyone's chu yi go?
Lots of ang bao and fabulous food I hope?
Endured the stuff I hate about CNY, like having to eat that utterly disgusting excuse for 'traditional food' at some random relative's place every year.. in case anyone else has to endure it, its some sort of mee sua drowned in logan red date tea with ginko nuts. Doesn't that already sound like a concoction for diarrhea?
Every year I hold my nose and down that entire bowl of gunk while my stomach suddenly turns into the most agile gymnast doing triple flips and multiple cartwheels accompanied by my intestines that knot into intricate curvatures to spell 'HELP'.
(...)
Okay Liz. Stop being a cynic. It is day one after all (though technically at press time, its day two).
Most of the day did pass pretty well. Good pineapple tarts and ba gua. Lots of bee hoon and curry. Thai Express dinner with my family eating mee sua the way it should be cooked.
Sold six fun-o-rama tickets. 14 more to go.
Details:
18th February 2006

BLESSED CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYBODAAAY. (:Hrmm.. Since we're at it, I might as well plug Ben's blog. Cause he takes the coolest pictures and they're absolutely gorgeous.
It astounds me how someone who never seems to stop talking long enough to breathe can have the patience to take such prettiful shots. He amazes me, really. Lol.
And he's a good actor as well. So there. Some people are just born eccentrically talented.
Okay. And now I'm being rudely interrupted by Sissy who wants me to watch Man in the Iron Mask.
Laters.

Finally. I've been so busy all week that despite the fact that every time I get oh-so-tempted to blog, my eyelids snap shut and my brain slips into a semi-comatose state of limbo.Its been quite an exhausting week peppered with enough rubbish to last three roller-coaster rides, the most poignant of which was my writing being dastardly critized by someone who was but a year my senior.
You know, I come to ACJC and they tell me I cannot speak well enough, I evidently do not act well enough, but the last straw is when you tell me I don't write well enough. I find it most offending that a JC2 student should deem himself important enough to tell me that he doesn't like my style of writing.
I assure you that I like any bit of your chauvinistic face as much as you like my linear, cliche excuse for an essay.
Results will be out in two weeks. At least when it does, I shall know. Every day I meet these Victorians and TJCians beckoning me back into my familiar land of the East.
It just comes smacking down on my head.
"There are two perfectly good Junior Colleges at your doorstep and you go all the way to ACJC?!"
"Why are you wasting your time there?"
"Are you MAD?"
Among other comments about how the teachers in other respectively Colleges are better at doing their jobs.
I came to ACJC expecting a lot from this school, maybe too much, on my part.
But... Stop. Liz. Every damn day you blog about school, and every entry flucuates between loving AC more than sleep and disliking the fact that AC still feels like a different world to you.
Its been four weeks and the thought of staying in this culture for two years just brings my mental stability to the brink of extermination.
I shall shut up about this tiring issue and blog about happier, jollier things like having dinner at Waraku tonight. :D
And have I mentioned that Ben is full of crap? *points to comments for the last entry*
There are cobwebs growing on my monitor. Must be proof of how much I've been neglecting it.
Oh yes. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JODINE AND MARSHA! (27/01/06) (:
Baah.
I know this isn't the best excuse for a blog entry I can give after 4 days of absence, but... I guess I could try and compensate by giving you a glimpse of 1AH?
And another here...
I miss TK so much. >___<
Miss the big clique... Sonia, Jo O, Jo W, Char, Shuwei, Zhao...
And Vonnie didn't come back. :(
And Mel didn't go out with us.
I love Chinese New Year. Its the one time in the the year I get to eat Kim Peng Hiang ba gua (no other ba gua will suffice), my aunt's special kueh lapis, and a whole range of cashew nut cookies.
Have a blessed Chinese New Year everyone. (:
Enjoy yourselves and may you escape as many embarassing questions from relatives as you possibly can.

yay!! another update to spam!!!!
^^
nah, juz kidding, no random stuff for once... *gasp*
can't believe it right? (good,^^ the suspense will kill u^^)
yah, well, it's becoming, like, DAMN BORING meeting only the j1's who are in syf...i wanna get to know everyone!!! so irritating!!! dumb 20 point thing... anyway, after CNY must go and slack with the rest of them again ok!!(leon, ellia and whoever...^^) then i can expound photographic knowledge on u^^and expound flashes on THEM when i actually DO bring my dumb cam...
and, by the way, do u have a camera in the first place? like, can u get your hand's on a start-up professional camera?
oh! and...
......
...
....
\(^00^)/
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
(u thought i was gonna randomize again right?^^made'cha look^^)
and yah, i agree with u're post!!!
quote~"And have I mentioned that Ben is full of crap?"
it's just SOOO nice to be known that way *practically salivates sarcasm*
...
and yah, i know how idiotic critics can be by "dastardly criticizing" u're much treasured works...like they could do better...
anyway, being so full of crap and everything... *hmph*
i'll stop the suspense right here and give u one hell of a big rabbit to chase\(^00^)/ happy cny!!
a man once killed himself in such an unbelievable way that it made news headlines all over britain about 30 years ago. apparently, he locked himself in a room, bolted the windows, and gassed himself to death...with his OWN gas... the investigators who worked on his case concluded that he had survived for about a week on canned baked beans during his isolation, whereas he then eventually ran out of oxygen and died from emphaceration of the lungs...having nothing but his own gas to breathe^^
I speak true.
cross my heart.
believe it.
...
even if u DO think that i'm full of crap. ;)
u know...u should try writing stuff and posting 'em^^ i'd love to read anything random that YOU can come up with^^
story-wise i mean
taaaggg~!
HAPPEH CHINESE NEW YEAR!
cya
okaaaaaaay...
that-*points to above comment*- is just SO random^^
*bleeds from overexcessive irony*
plus he spelt "happy" wrongly...
*dies from overexcessive tautological pleonasms of randomness in spelling errors*
did any of that make sense?

I love school more and more each day.And anyway Sir, I know you've found my blog. No one else would ever use the keywords "blogspot.com smoke and mirrors elizabeth lee" to accidentally stumble across my den of ceaseless mutterings.
*waves hi to Sir*
Went for Spectra today. I think its AC's version of a computer club. Basic Macromedia Flash. (The stuff Mr Lim used to teach us in lower sec and no one bothered to pay attention to. ) Lizzy was, admittably one of those students who always tried her best to listen but never remembered anything about frames because hey, Photoshop is way more dummy proof than Flash. My bad. Flash tends to be a mild headache, from Lizzy's slightly biased point of view (until the day she finally understands how to use it... and use it well).
I will master it one day. *nods head* Some day.
KI is the most interesting lesson my timetable has to offer to date. And of course, I'm not actually saying this for any... biased reasons whatsoever. Ahem. It really is rather entertaining, except for the bits where we have to watch a philosopher who looks like an uglier version of Mr. Tumnus rambling on about The Truth.
And the nice little project we've embarked on as we strive ahead for
world dominationgood will and peace to all men.DEP homework beckons like an angry elephant that has been dearly molested by six blind men.
The first
three monthssix weeks of school are passing oh-so-quickly.Assuming the fact that the probabilty of our results coming out betwee the 6th to the 10th of February are accurate.
Yay?

HEY!!!! this is your friendly neighborhood RANDOM DUDE!!!! also known as ben chow aka bbc aka the idiot who never stops talking and is eternally hyper after five in the evening!!!!
yah, anyway, NICE PLACE!! can u teach me how to create blog designs? so cool lah! lol!
AND LINK ME OK!!! i feel very ostracized with no msn *whimpers*
and here's another random thingy, the Television was actually openly and, in some cases, violently rejected when it was first put up to market. the arguement was that people would eventually get tired of staring at a black rectangular box for hours on end...
and u like pride and prejudice tooo!!!!!!!!!!!
WAAAAAAH!!! i LOVE it, girl!!!!! but the book trumps the movie ANyday though...
oh! i forgot to add something random for the above post!! *gasp*
ok here goes... the longest word EVER used by Shakespeare in one of his plays is "honourificabilitudinitatibus" meaning to be in the ability to recieve honours.;)
And by the way, juz so u know, some people have learnt NOT to give me blog adresses because i'm a frequent(and very effiecient)spammer!!^^
\(^00^)/
HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sure sign of insanity eh?) DON'T BE AN UNBELIEVER!!!!!!! all the abive are TRUE. swear to heaven and hell^^(then of course, you'll inevitably HAVE to ask yourself if he's phyching me...or using reverse phycology........and THEN you'll wonder WHY he emphetically pointed it out, and then consequently chase the rabbit again till you drop dead from sheer mental repudiation^^)
anyway, don't chase the rabbit just yet, cos i still want your mind to register the ensueing confirmation of your previously proposed switch in skillz^^ i dump photo tech on u...and u dump blog design stuff on me!! SET. ^^
and martysibediemsus is cool okie!!!
yah, well, here's your rabbit^^ have fun\(^00^)/
did u know that doctor suess(u know the green eggs and ham dude) actually became famous by drawing POLITICAL cartoons??
...
...
...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u know what?
i'm so bored, my mind just forced another random thingy to the surface^^ cool!!
here's your next rabbit:
the word "quiz" did not, i repeat, DID NOT exist 200 years ago. about 100something years ago, there was a bet between this random guy(can't remember the name...he's brit though) and an engllish schoolteacher. the bet was along the lines of "i bet u can't make a word that everyone will start using in a month" the schoolteacher agrees, goes to the board and writes Q.U.I.Z . he then reates it's definition and spreads it among the kids he teaches.
AND VOILA!!!!!!!!!! we ALL use it now!!!^^
i only wish i knew how much they betted on^^

Just got back a while ago from Tampines Mall. Went to watch Memoirs of a Geisha with Constance, Zheng Fu, Kitz and Cecilia. Its a good show, go catch it. I did however, not manage to catch the last bus home and ended up taking a cab. I guess $7.50 wasn't really that much to pay for a comfortably peaceful ride home from TM.First day of my formal timetable. Oh boy. Tiring.
My KI class officially has 5 people. 4 today though. AH and SCONE get along very well, methinks. :D
Or at least, I foresee that we would hohoho.. Had fun crapping with my KI classmates (technically, well yes, the four of us) during the two hour break that we had today.
I'm starting to adore my school more and more. Does anyone want an AC teddy bear? Haha. I think its $12 if I can find enough people to buy it. My class of 19 isn't particularly enthusiastic about 'em bears.
AND ALSO.
ACJC Fun-o-rama is on the 18th of February. Coupons are $10 each, buy from me! Thank you.
Really pretty tired right now, but there's just maybe one thing I'd like to < / rant > about..
You know, no matter what the teachers or other people say that you need a good testimonial to get into the uni, you need to secure good positions in the school so that you can get that good testimonial to begin with, regardless of whether that better-than-thou creature ever remembers my name, or how I do in my studies...
It is not my good grades, good testimonial or own merit thats going to determine my success in this life. My success is secure in the LORD. And that is why I will anticipate only the best, for hope does not disappoint, and the promises of God are yes and amen.
I'm not going to let myself get worried or despondent over a stupid piece of paper. My God is bigger than any piece of paper. I don't want to put my trust in it. I'd rather put my trust in the God who made it to begin with.
Alright, just needed to get that off my chest.
Nodding off again.. Its definitely time for some shut-eye.

Really sleepy. But feels like I haven't blogged properly for a while (a while being more than 48 hours in Lizzy's book).Random remark that Lizzy just feels (in)coherent enough to make:
Would those highly intelligent male members of what is sadly known as the human race from school stop calling me lizard!?
Okay.. Yes well.
Back to the more important issues in life other than XY specimens who exhibit such intense levels of maturity (or lack thereof).
Went for caregroup today. And by caregroup, I mean the one I have already dearly attached myself to - the MJ/TJ caregroup.
I've really missed caregroup. Felt like I hadn't gone for ages (which is true) and realized that the place where I'm fed the most and grow the most, is really during these Saturday sessions where the Word is broken down into these bite sized pieces that I can really chew and meditate upon.
Felt really refreshed and light in my heart as I left today, the people I really feel most comfortable with is them. Agnes shared from Isaiah 40,
"He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."
God has strength enough for me when it is strength that I lack.
And one of the most important things I learnt today was when she shared from the infamous story of Joseph, in Genesis 39 when he was sold by his brothers to be enslaved in Egypt.
Verse 2: The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Verse 5: So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
The Lord blessed Potiphar's dwelling for Joseph's sake.
Agnes was sharing, not for the first time, the question of whether there ever is, a Wrong Choice.
But God is greater than even our mistakes, even our wrong choices. It is true, the words that were shared today, that we limit God on our own. Sometimes we think that just because we did something wrong, went down the wrong path or made a wrong decision, God wouldn't bless us anymore. But that is not true. The Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake.
The Lord blessed school for Lizzy's sake.
God turns every situation for good for me. It is not a matter of my choices. It isn't even about whether the move I made was correct, but my Jesus is faithful to me. And regardless of choice, I am blessed. My road is blessed, its full of blessing, its full of favour, and only because of the simple fact that Jesus loves me.
Anyway... Reunion dinner. Migods, That Woman really didn't make any comments about various curvatures that I possess at all! In fact she was decent and I could actually have one of those fleeting, polite conversations you actually conduct with relatives that you speak to for the sake of the fact that you try to see them as little as possible throughout the course of the year.
Although I suppose it had something to do with my cousin's grades and my own, where in his own words, he had been 'totally pwnzed' by yours truly.
And said cousin has definitely grown since I last bothered to have anything to do with this side of the family for the past couple of years. Good gawd he looks, well, he looks like he'd fit into AC alright aye. Except for the fact that he's in MJ and he wants to go to TJ or SA after JAE.
The funniest bit of the entire evening was when my aunts came to a conclusion that I was 'sweet'. HAWHAWHAW. Lizzy. Sweet. Oh definitely radical duuude.
Since I'm falling asleep and its 12.15PM, I shall take my leave for now, and return when I'm not dozing off at my keyboard.
ZZZ..

Buggerit!I knew no matter how much I loved green and silver that I'd never end up a Slytherin. Buggerit.
You are a RAVENCLAW!
As a Ravenclaw and as an NFP, you value
imagination, ideas and intelligence. You are
probably somewhat of an individualist and avoid
conforming just for its own sake. You are
insightful and perceptive, and since you are
empathetic and value harmony, you usually try
to avoid conflict. Of course, you may enjoy
participating in heated debates, but only as
long as they remain on an intellectual level
and not a personal level. In general, you are
open-minded and curious, and set high standards
for yourself.

brought to you by Quizilla
A RAVENCLAW. Imagine that. (Somehow, Liz is pathetically unsurprised.)
Well, it does describe me most agreeably well. *raises a critical eyebrow*
Would love to blog more, but am due for an (really) early reunion dinner with my Dad's side of the fmaily tonight. Relations with that particular side of the family has long been rather.. strained. But grace grace lah huh? God, for tonight, let That Woman please just shut up and not make stupid comments about my academics or boobs. Or anything stupid in general.
TO EVERYONE who has messaged me lately and realized that I've taken 15 hours to reply, so terribly sorry. My phone has been in a perpetual state of dead silence and thats not very convenient when it comes to being contacted.
My humblest apologies.
Uptus, downtus, inandaboutus. Wigglo, gigglo.

I'm bawling my eyes out. Not because I'm having another one of my emo breakdowns, but because I just finished watching Tuesdays with Morrie on Hallmark.My God. Sometimes I feel like a turgid bag of tears waiting to expound onto the surface of existence.
"Learn how to die, and you learn how to live."
"Death is the end of a life, not a relationship."
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel."
"People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does. That what our economy does. Even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened because they worry about losing them. and when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture."
Feeling very poignant this late... evening.
I've only one lesson tomorrow. History in second period, Drama after school. Customary date with Clique after that.
Mm. AntM is bitchfest on teevee.
Wish I would stop having to attempt to cough my lungs out. Its terribly annoying that my throat itches so horribly that dry, violent coughs continue to thump forth from the deep crevases of my chest despite the fact that phelgm is evidently lacking in great quantities.
And when I try not to cough, my eyes start watering and my entire throat just seizes up. Either that or it results in a series of shuddering little noises escaping from my lips accompanied by a low, inhuman, gutteral honk. (Seriously, yes, a honk. I cannot find more suitable vocabulary to describe the sound.)
And I took an hour to cough myself to sleep last night. When I laid down, it felt like the phelgm that was present completely tried to backstroke up my oesophagus and swim its way into the cavern of my oral cavity.
RARRRH.
Okay. I'm going to sleep.
___ is really leaving. :(
I'm going to miss you!
But its your happiness afterall.
*hugs!*

There's a cry in my heart
For Your glory to fall
For Your presence to fill up my senses
There's a yearning again
A thirst for discipline
A hunger for things that are deeper
Could You take me beyond?
Could You carry me through?
If I open my heart?
Could I go there with You?
[For I've been here before]
[Yet I know there's still more]
[Oh Lord I need to know You]
For what do I have
if I don't have you Jesus?
What in this life
could mean anymore?
You are my rock
You are my glory
You are the lifter
of my head
Its a really beautiful song that Agnes sent out to the CG a couple of days ago. Its so true, the yearning that I feel in my spirit, for what do I have if I don't have Jesus? What in this life could mean more to me than that?
And in my weakest moments when I feel that I can no longer face the world, He is the lifter of my head.
For those who still do read my blog, well, welcome the daily musings of an individual who each day, faces the trying task of having her pride slowly ebb away into the endless void of cosmic space.
Its the little things. Many little things.
Got our classes today. 1AH has a grand total of 19 students. Only 2 of which are male.
ACSian Theatre. Night of Laughter. Hmmm.
You know, actually I think its a bad idea to attempt to blog when I'm in my current state of emotional (un)stability. Maybe later, if I feel decidedly more rational, calm and a little more perceptive about my situation.
I miss my Mom. She's in China on business again... It really doesn't happen all that often, but regularly enough to be somewhat disruptive. Especially now. I just really want her here with me. She's the greatest physical pillar of support I have in this mortal life.
The seniors of 2AH Red/Blue = Purple are really cool though. The prospect of having 54 (methinks) direct seniors to a junior class is actually quite amusing in a terrifying sort of way.
Small junior class, big senior batch.
Anyway, took the following from a site with rather nice inspirational stories.
Memo From God
From: God
To: All those who believe in me
Subject: Life's problems
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If the devil happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFJTD (something for Jesus to do) box. It will be addressed; in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it or remove it. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problem.
If it is a situation that you think you are capable of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure that it is the proper resolution. Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber, there is no need for you to loose any sleep.
Rest my child. If you need to contact me, I am only a prayer away.

Feels like there's so much to blog about tonight.Firstly....
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY NURBZ!!!! :)
Miss ya. X)
School today was alright, I'm just going to appreciate the fact that we've still loads of free periods before next week rolls along and I find myself with a full timetable, complete with chinese and PE.
Went down to Orchard with Seth on impulse after school. (Seth's a Victorian loyalist.)
Had an amusing time attempting to find my KI recommended texts in Kino. Bought Bill Bryson's A Short History of Everything. It was a book that I had been intending to get sometime in the next millenia anyway, so I bought it. And Sophie's World, the unattractive cover of which has put me off from reading it for long enough.
Had dinner with Jocelyn and Jane at Siglap Cartel in the evening. I love you two! =)
I thank God for the blessed friendship that He has placed for me in these two special individuals.
Victorian, TJCian, ACSian. z00t.
You know, I've been hearing so many stories, so much from everything regarding schools, and how each respectively individual wants to go stay/leave...
And all I have to say is, while I'm in ACJC, I'm going to give my all to ACJC. I'm going to trust God, because He is my today and my tomorrow. He sees my needs and He fills them.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
And because I know, I know He holds my future,
This life is worth the living, just because He lives.

Oh kay.Thanks to all for tagging.
No matter how my journey in ACJC goes, it is a road I am already on and cannot turn away from. God is my guide, and I am His beloved child. He never leaves me nor forsakes me, and this life that I have is His.
Regardless of where I am or what I'm doing, I dedicate everything that I am, everything that I have to Him.
The good bits of Lizzy, and the bad bits.
And the bits that Lizzy once thought of as good but have proven to be less than adequate.
I know my breakthrough is already forthcoming. And it is happening. It is taking place.
I choose to rejoice first in my Lord, for He is faithful to me. And I know that because He is, I can face tomorrow. I can walk down this road and know that the end of it would bring me not tears of anguish, but tears of joy and laughter.
My God will never disappoint me. I am not going to question my God. He has His ways, and His plans for me are always the best.
Yes, now I am merely short-sighted. I cannot see beyond the trials that each day sets forth in my path, but He knows what really lies for me at the end of this road. He sees the whole journey that He has set out for me to take. And you know what? I don't need to understand what they are, but they are definitely good.
So my praise I foremost give to my Daddy God. Because the breakthrough is mine, good things are about to happen, because regardless of whether I have begun to see it yet, I know it already belongs to me.
My faith is in my Jesus.
Because I know I cannot even begin to have faith in my own abilities (or lack thereof).
OKAY. Enough serious jumbo.
ONEMOREDAY to Baya's birthday!!! ((((:
Had a grand total of three lectures today. Its still a lecture-only week so there's still loads of time to do absolutely nothing. First TSD lesson of the year. Just a little taste of what is to come. Sweet. Its sorta like boot camp but with good music. Coldplay is love.
Did pumping, crunches, squats and a whole lot of other ballet-isque activities that were literally, the last things you'd have expected Lizzy to ever engage in. And we just did a little of it too. I can imagine when it goes full-fledge into the course. Woo. Wicked.
So far so fun. The physically gruelling bits will be new, but while I'm busy doing new things I might as well go all out and do it all. ^_^
Went over to Magz's house with Elia today, didn't do much there but she has a lovely house and a pretty room. (:
Then the two went back for SYF rehearsals. Congrats to all who did get into SYF! I have absolutely no idea if I got into anything, grace grace lah. Screwed up on Saturday, but God will take care of me.
Life is here for me to live and learn. Fall down and stand back up again.
ACJC has been a challenge. One where I constantly look down and find myself so tempted to let go. So many times I felt like giving up. I never thought it would be this hard, but it is! And at least it puts me in a position where I question if I'm going to give up again, like I always do everytime I fail, or am I going to get up again and keep moving forward.
I never thought I was weak, but it takes a situation that exposes your weaknesses to show you what you really are. ^_^
Learning point.
Certainly, I cannot speak for everyone who also walks down this road of transition after a comfortable secondary school life, but every journey is unique, and this is just specific to me.
This is my path, and my journey. And hey, as long as I can keep moving forward according to the strength of God, I will.
And now! For something nice and lovely to end my post with dramatic flourish.
I'm sure everyone's read it at some point in time, but timely reminders are something that I'm sure everyone doesn't mind living with.
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”

...........................................................BAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I've just duly noted the fact that it is the 15th of January already. Aron and I owe money for hosting. He's the one who does the bank transfers. Blank-space was officially 2 years old on 2nd January 2006. But it may not be around very much longer if we don't pay up soon. ^_^
I can't seem to shake off this oppression thats been weighing heavily on my mind. I feel like I'm being attacked by the devil and I'm allowing it to happen.
I've been wallowing in my own self-pity, letting the condemnation guilt me into depression, and not opening my mouth to claim my right as God's righteous, beloved child to whom no condemnation is imputed.
The accusatory whispers that sound in my head, telling me that every decision that I've made to date has been wrong, and making me regret my choices regardless of how much I tried to think them through.
I've stopped being rational about anything, the worry just plagues me like a bad headache.
I want to scream, I want to cry, and I know this person that I've been isn't the person that I am, but in fact satan trying to taunt me back into the place where I was as a lower secondary student.
Jesus, my pride is shattering, and that is a good thing, because as long as I think I can still handle this situation on my own, you can't help me no matter how much you want to.
Everything I've prided myself in, I have failed.
I was happy in my own little world back in TK. And my world has disintegrated badly.
Its a good thing, I know, even though I wish so fervently that the bubble of my fantastical existence hadn't been busted so early in my life. A tinge of longing fills me to return once more to the familiar comfort of a similiar environment.
I've gone from being the best to one who cannot even be considered a worthy opponent.
I'm tired of striving, and I'm not going to try anymore... Because all this time I've been so afraid of letting go. Fearing that if I did I would inevitably lose out and fade into the background, completely forgetting that my God is bigger than my attempts, that he is more than able to provide for me not just sufficiently, but so that I have more than enough for my days ahead.
Going for church now.
No matter how much you think you know as you grow up, there's always so much to learn. At 16, graduating from TKGS, I thought I had my whole life together.
19 days from my 17th birthday, I realize I don't.
*grins*
Oh well. Its never too late to stop learning. (:
And all will work out for good, because God's plans are always the most fabulous when it comes to the concept of Life.

HAAAHAHA. OMG this utterly pwnz. Like totally.Ten Top Trivia Tips about Lizzaeh!
ROFLMAO. I especially like Number 4, 5 and 7. LOL.
ANYWAY.
Shout out to 4e6'05. Miss ya guys lots, hope y'all enjoying JC life (for those of us in JC), crashing (for those of us who aren't) or working (for the slightly more diligent ones, applicable to all but Rene).
TKGSSB juniors. Hope you're practicing. >D
Krys.Schwa.Floss. Still alive y'all? *peers*
SBA. 2 days to Nurby's 17th birthday. She's the most ancient of the lot!
QUESTION. Is there a club in AC that does like, design?
AND by the way, either my counter's gone absolutely crazy, or someone just loves refreshing my blog. I'm thinking its the former though.
Funny point of the day, Maggie gave Drama dude a few bruised toes. Read her blog (link on right) for details. Hur hur. I have no idea how his name is spelt, so excuse me. But he has the scariest ability to stare and I felt so utterly scrutinized being held under that stony gaze.
HRM. Moving on.
Oh yes, do try the food at the newly renovated Marina Square foodcourt if you ever get the chance, its actually quite palatable and according to my friends, decently good.
Went for Campus today.
Pastor Darren preached on acceleration for the year 2006. And I believe its a year of fresh beginnings, of new blessings, and it'd definitely come to pass. For the word has been spoken and I know that my God is faithful.
My role is not to be a full-time student.
My life is not my own, my life is His, willingly given. He's in control, He knows what to do, and He loves me. I am never forsaken. His presence is always surrounding me.
I know things will be okay. Not just okay, but great. Not because I deserve it, because I don't.
Goodness...
Oh well, I know how undeserving I am, and that is why I am especially thankful for undeserved, unmerited favour that was bought for me. No condemnation.
Righteousness is mine only because of the finished work.
Christ and the cross, that is why I stand today. =)

yeah i'm alive. lol.
*glances at links section*. Wow, I suppose my idea of a webcomic on student life was already thought of, huh.
oh well =)

Soooo. I woke up early and got to school on time for Drama auditions at 9.45AM. In fact, I was thankfully early. For once.They gave us the script, and cutting a really long story short, I went in for my audition past 1.15PM.
Had to do some random climbing thing as well. The people in Drama still intimidate me. Because they're so talented. My ego just gets squashed a little more each day.
Liz has reached the point where she's in a mortified induced state of amnesia. She cannot remember if she was ever very much good at anything to begin with. :s
Everything she had valued as a student of TKGS and what she used to pride herself in has all unceremoniously been overshadowed by the apparent strengths of her fellow ACSians.
Lord, I know you can see how pathetic I feel at the moment. Lol.
There is no condemnation for me in Christ Jesus.
I am God's beloved.
And my mind is exhausted from trying to prove itself.
Jesus, have your way in me. Because I cannot go on trying to pursue my dreams on my own in my state of mind.
I let go the need to know to know why for YOU know better than I.

Yay. Alright its past twelve but lets play pretend and entertain Liz by holding on to the impression that it is, perhaps, still Friday night.Went out on Thursday with the CLIQUE. Vonniekins, Rene, Mel and Wy. Thai Express. Bad throat that night, came home with a fever and a throat as rough as a washing board.
BUT WE FINALLY MADE OUR RINGS. (:
Our initials are rubbish to work with. I wanted to use L for Lizzy and V for Von, but if we did, we would have no vowels at all whatsoever. So we ended using our full names.
We originally had them arranged as MEWSY. Which would have been just ghastly to try and explain to any friend who asks about said ring. So I tried arranging the letters differently. WEMSY was just as laughable, and SEMWY sounds like some sort of sewage company.
SO.
Lizzy, on a whimsical stroke of pure coincidental brilliance, came up with SEWMY.
It is not Sew-mee. It is pronouced: Sew-My. Sew My. Siew Mai. Geddit geddit? :D :D
Right okay. *braves the torrent of tomatoes that inevitably come crashing down on top of her along with a complementary set of crutches*
Realized a lot of things in school today (Friday). But first, I was late. Felt poorly in the morning and ended up leaving home at 7.00AM. ACJC is not TKGS. Leaving the house at 7.00AM does not get you to school before the bell goes at 7.25AM.
Got to school at 7.32AM and got sent for detention. Wow. I never received a single detention in TKGS (save for the class ones that we had to do with much gusto every time we failed a cleanliness check) during my four years there but I get one right into the second week of my JC life.
SO!
Did subject registration, and my dear, fickle mind was finally made up. Thank you Magz darl, for your valued opinion. Shall be taking History, Literature, Drama Elective and Knowledge and Inquiry, all at H2 level. Apparently some of the others did apply for 4H2s and 1H1 subject and got theirs approved. Still.. Guess I don't actually really want to do H1 Math since I already have KI to handle. Hope Laura can take KI after first 3 months, she does seem to want to take it badly..
Heard some of the other JCs aren't as strict about KI qualifications, but I guess AC has its policies for a reason and they ought to know what they're doing better than I can comprehend.
Its 12.30AM. Drama auditions tomorrow. Grace and favour Lord, for your child who in the physical needs the favour because she knows she is no genius herself.
I'm still facing the revalation that I'm living this life for God, and that I have is his.
Sometimes my pride likes to think that it can handle reality on its own.
But I'm glad that God has never forsaken me in any time of need, when I call, He answers. And He rescues me.
2006 is a year of favour. =)

Okay. It has been pretty long day here in ACJC.First of all, I was most surprised during assembly to find that I had received the Humanities Scholarship. Provisionally speaking.
History lecturer very cynical, most amusing, reminds me of dear Mr. K Ang but funnier. (Sorry Mr Ang, you're fabulous, really.)
Have to decide subject combination in less than 12 hours.
Went for KI diagnostics after school, only about 20 people (or less) turned up, MCQ was amusing, essay was quite fun, although I of course, specialized in producing 3 pages full of Lizzisque crap.
So. The scholarship says I have to take English Literature and two other Arts based subjects, which leaves me to strike out my Hist/Lit/KI/Math option since I am to have a grand total of three arts subjects.
Hist/Lit/DEP/KI?
Hist/Lit/Econs/KI?
Hist/Lit/DEP/Math?
Hist/Lit/Econs/Math?
Went for Debate trials, was quite hiliarious. If any AC debator reads this, I'm so sorry for having put you through that painful amount of crap. I am most ashamed to say that I got all my History facts completely garbled and only served to make myself look even more of a fool than I could possibly have under any circumstance. *wry grin*
Still, it was an experience, and Liz is glad that she had the chance to scare herself shitless.
Really grace grace that I managed to get the Scholarship given how I warbled that the February Revolution occured in 1819, cocked up some bull about the Weimar government and completely put my poor O' level History teacher to shame.
Much grace for my days ahead in ACJC. Since I'm sitting here humming and hawwing over what my subject combination should be.
Every day I learn something new in AC. Every day I'm faced with an opportunity to be humbled. AC really is filled with a great many talented people. =)
Gonna stop now because Cinderella needs to run away from the ball.
Going out with Gang tomorrow, will be quite funny. All in school uniform, except Rene I guess, but four different school badges. VJ, AC, TJ, MJ. Lol.
Thai Express.
Friends are love.

Been sleeping all afternoon. Great weather for sleeping. =)
Had introductory lectures all through yesterday, went for subject counselling and just got even more confused. I thought I had my plans laid out but apparently I don't. Now I'm between Math and KI. Planning to take 4 H2 subjects. There's KI diagnostics, debate trials and drama voice auditions going on at the same time tomorrow afternoon, deary deary me.
So, history, literature, DEP, KI, economics, math. I have to take history and literature, they're subjects I can't live without. But the other four are just rolling around indecisively in my mind. Its likely that I'd take DEP, at least for these three months since I've been presented with this opportunity and I might as well take it.
Don't think AC will let me take 4H2s and 1H1 like in TJ. I wanted to take History/ Literature/ DEP/ KI and H1 Math (you're welcomed to laugh at Lizzy's crazy academic ambitions but she isn't listening). They're quite hot on everyone just taking 3H2 and 1H1 subject, and that those intending to be good enough to take a H3 paper shouldn't over-tax themselves by going for 3H2s.
Fyuu. Oh well.
Oh yup, put up a links section (at last), since there really are some commendable, useful sites floating around on the Internet. ;D

WHEEEEEEEE~Results seem to be approaching earlier and earlier. Von said 6th February?
Quoting Susan Pevensie: Impossible!
Went for dinner at Coffee Club with Von, Rene and WY yesterday. Mudpie nice. Didn't have much of an appetite for food though.
Went back to school in the afternoon before that with Von, spoke to a few teachers, and Triple S as well. Who was of course, horrified beyond belief that I went to ACJC.
The next person who tells me I'm stupid for not going to VJ/TJ with my God-given six points will get a sock shoved down his/her throat.
Dadadadadaaaaaaaaadum~
Anyway, I'm so tired of thinking.
My brain was created for fun and enjoyable activities, not to worry over what subjects to take and what lies beyond the first 3 months of 2006.
And in any case, God is bigger than my worries, and He is more than capable of looking after them without me hovering around trying to be useful.
Drinking (saturated) honey water right now just to get my throat to stop screaming obscenities at me. (I hear you darling!)
I'm so glad for the friends that God has blessed me with.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. " Matthew 6: 33, 34

Alright thought I'd blog since its Sunday night and well, school starts once again TOMORROW!I love my OG. Lol what a bunch of fun, fabulous people.
Anyway nicked a couple of photos off an ACJC photographer (thank you whoever you are!)
Us frolicking in the mud, I told you it was no small joke having to throw my clothes away.
And Campfire night! Elf was most adorable. He looked like Zelda and was quite embarrassed by the getup. Pam was a pretty lil' mermaid. And Tim just looked like he outgrew his robes (though you can't really tell in the picture that it only came up to about, just below his knees).
Zoot, yeah.
Anyway, the message preached in church today really spoke to me. Agnes was a really great listener as well, and I'm glad that God placed me in the MJ/TJ caregroup in the first place. It was by no small chance that I found myself there.
Annointed fellowship, definitely.
Anyway, not going to say much, cause the word speaks for itself. Just going to quote some of the message that was published in this month's issue of Solid Rock.
"The sad thing about us human beings that we despise small things. We don't thank God for the small things because we want the big things. So we don't appreciate the small portions that are tokens of His grace.
By the way we receive these shafts of light - the little portions of God's grace - into our lives is by giving thanks for them. The way we receive more of God's grace is by acknowledging the grace of God that is already in our lives. That means we acknowledge every little thing we have."
Its so true right now for me, since I have proven to be quite impatient under current circumstances (by God's grace He grants me the patience I need. GRACE GRACE!) as I adjust to my new environment. And all I've been busy doing is worrying about the fact that I'm in a new school, regretting not having gone to a JC closer to home, and pining over the fact that I have lost TK.
I must reiterate that AC is a great place. I have nothing against the school, and it is merely a personal battle I am waging to come to terms with the fact that this is the choice that I have made.
By God's grace I know things will be swell, so Lord, I thank you for ACJC.
I thank you that I have the opportunity to attend a school that puts you first above all else.
I thank you for the chance to experience morning devotions.
I thank you that regardless of what goes on in my life, you never leave me nor forsake me. And because Your work is finished, no longer does condemnation follow in my footsteps.
I shall not look to my sin, but to the one who was sacrificed in my place.
I didn't get to go for midweek bible study, but Agnes shared something with me that I will definitely remember, especially all through this week.
"If you love me, honour my sacrifice."
"If you love me, accept the fact that there is no longer any condemnation for you because I bore it for you on the cross."
"If you love me, do not worry, cast all your fears onto me and rest."
"If you love me, take my word as the truth."
It is very true, Pastor shared as well today, that if you have a debt of say, $10 000, and someone else paid it for you, not just in full, but double the amount that you had owed, and you go up to the person and tell him that you do not believe that he has paid your debt and you go home worrying over how to get the money, you insult the very individual who has delivered you from those worries.
Its the same with Jesus. He has already saved me from condemnation. He has already saved me from the curse of the law. If I worry, if I feel condemned over my choices, I insult the very person who went through all that suffering on the cross in my place so that I may live a carefree life.
I'm just going to rest in my Jesus.
Not in my circumstances.
Not in my shortcomings.
Only in Him will I trust, for He loves me, He has already given me the best, how will He not also freely give me the rest?
Jesus I trust in you.

MY NEIGHBOURS ARE ABUSING THEIR HUSKIES.Wth evil bitch. *insert expletives here*
Okay so I don't normally curse and swear and whatnot but I HATE IT. I absolutely hate it when I see animals being ill-treated. And Huskies at that. HUSKIES.
Precious, beautiful dogs.
First of all, I woke up this morning to the shrieks and screams of said neighbour (opposite house) who was going on in Indonesian Malay about Godknowswhat. And the next thing I find the dogs locked out in a 1x2m narrow balcony walkway in the drizzle and rain thats been going on all afternoon with no food.
They've been out there for nearly TWELVE hours!
*is outraged*
WITH NO FOOD!
And they're merely puppies at that!
This neighbour has been such a nuisance since they've moved in, making nothing but more noise and disturbing the peace of my wonderful estate.
You don't keep two huskies and expect no trouble, especially if your lack of intellect fails to inform you that HUSKIES, big dogs, need to be trained.
In fact, not just big dogs. Its a dog, train it for goodness sake! Don't blame the dogs for making something 'dirty' and punishing them if you don't know how to look after them to begin with!
Animals are meant to be loved (and in the case of chicken and cows, eaten). If you want to keep a pet, especially two high-maintainance Siberian huskies, you jolly well be capable enough of looking after them.
Sis has called the SPCA, but I don't think they can do anything about it right now.
Its not like they're actually hitting the dogs or anything. But its been cold and wet all day. Those poor dogs should not be left out on that tiny excuse of a balcony in this damp weather with no food and water regardless of WHATEVER they've done.
That is not the way to treat ANIMALS.
The poor pups have been whigning all day. Stupid brainless imbeciles with no respect for canines whatsoever.
And she (the crazy screaming woman) and the maid keep repeatedly taunting the poor creatures throughout the entire day with a cane (not actually hitting them, just taunting them) and yelling at them to stop barking.
Why don't I leave you out on a 1x2m ledge in the wet, cold rain without food and water for 12 hours and see how you like it huh?
Excuse me, really. It takes quite a lot to annoy me save for when I see animals being treated like some lower form of life when those lousy excuse for homo sapiens themselves are better deserving of a good lashing.
Oh yeah, went back to TK for their campfire. After ACJC, everything else fails in comparison.
(sorry current batch of TK leaders!)
I LOVE AC CHEERS. Especially the Hokkien one and Warrior. :D Everyone was like doing their own school cheers and trying to incorporate the words 'TK' into it. Lol.
And poor Jod, Caroline and I were trying to outdo the rest but kinda difficult when there's so many V/T/Mjcians to outyell us. Ended up singing the school song together and that was about it. Lol.
WA NANG SI AC PA BUAY TOH AH. >D
Took a picture of all the J1s who went back, don't want to open Photoshop right now just to resize the image, so here's the link to it anyway. Don't mind the white, its just a pillar. :P
And oh, (no number) who called 3 times just now, SORRY. :x Whoever you are.
Signing out,
Lizzaaaaaaay.
MISS YOU. T_T

Okay, so I'm sitting here at 1.10pm on Saturday and I'm still tired from the Orientation ACSperience.There's the good, and there's the bad. I guess I should just start with the good.
The OGLs really made orientation fantastic for us J1s. There was never a dull moment in the time that the OGLs were handling things.
Played really dirty games and threw away two sets of clothes as a result of being caked from neck to toe in mud, soap and water. Mostly mud. This was honestly, the best orientation I have ever attended. Considering the ones I have was my own in sec1, and the one us sec4s organized last year for ours.
My OGLs have been great. Debbie, Sam and Matt.
My OG's a nice bunch of folks as well. It took us quite a bit of time to warm up to each other, but I'm glad we finally did. Maggie, Daryl, Ruth, Shu Jia, Eunice, Bernice, Ciyuan, Wee Siong, Wei Shen, Junwei, Hiu Tung, Kumar, Joan, Ivana, Michelle. (Hope I didn't miss out anyone.)
With the exception of Tuesday, where I reached home past 8.00PM, I have failed to reach home anytime before 11.00PM on the others. Wednesday was dinner with Skye at Holland V's Crystal Jade La Mian, Thursday was Swensens with the OG, and Friday was, of course, campfire night.
It was sort of deja vu that we had to have campfire in the badminton hall because of the rain. But the rain evidently failed to dampend the enthusiasm that sparkled madly in that hall.
Goodness.. its really been one helluva ride this past week. My muscles are screaming at me, I have spotty rashes all over my legs from the mud... Yet I have never encountered such fun in any school I have ever attended in these span of 16 years, almost 17 years that I've lived.
These people in AC really know what fun is. The OGLs have so much energy that I really fail to comprehend where their source comes from.
Mass dance was fun! It was very well choreographed. One can tell that a lot of effort went into making this week of orientation really fun. The videos, the banners, the games, the campfire...
And the fashion parade!! Tim looked fabulous in my Draco costume, admittably, better looking than I did. At least people thought he looked cool, so I'm happy. I did spend $300 making that thing and handsewing the guards after all. Didn't bring my Nimbus 2001, my Sadako broom (lol) cause I didn't want it to get destroyed. That broom was such a nightmare to make but it turned out really well.
Love my OG! And there are two people who read Pratchett in my OG itself, r0x0r. >D
I salute the 30th Student's Council, OGLs, teachers and students involved in having made the event such success. (:
Still, these past four days have been rather difficult for me. I've gone from being a somebody in TK, to a nobody in AC. (Yes, the bad bits commences now.)
I guess this is what it means to take me out of my comfort zone. I chose to take this path and I'm going to have to walk it. Its easier for the others, those who come from FMSS, Cresent and whatnot because tons of people from those schools make it to AC.
Here, there are 10, maybe 11 of us TKGians. And I don't stick to them either.
Somehow, I have never felt more insignificant in my life. (Or maybe I have, but these four days have been bloody lonely.) My pride is killing me. 6 points and I'm in AC because I chose to. So what? Six points doesn't make me anything, obviously.
The only time I felt truly happy was when I was with my OG. Narnia! (:
And its hard to spend time with them outside allocated OG time because they all have friends and well, I don't exactly fit into the TK gaggle.
I was wrong about so many things. I thought I would fit easily into AC, but the way things work, I'm not going to know my class until the third week of school because next week is a week full of introductory lectures. And said third week is a lecture only week. And coming from hearsay, the results will be out in mid February this year. How crazy is that?
Nyerrrrrrrgh.
I miss TK so much. I miss Von. I miss Rene. I miss Mel. I miss 4/6. I miss them so much that I'm crying. Pathetic. Its so painful to be in this place with 850 J1s and know that here, I no longer hold the same positions I held in TK. I no longer have the group of people I hold so dearly in my heart with me. I thought I would have been stronger, and AC really is very different from an environment that I'm comfortable with.
I'm not saying I don't like it. I love AC. Its a great place, but maybe its just not my place.
But I'm here, and it may be trying for me. But complaining isn't going to do any good. While I'm here I'm going to enjoy myself, because hey, nothing is going to get me down. I may be bawling my eyes out because I miss my comfort zone like shit and I've put myself in a place where I have to learn to step out of my cushion of familarity that I've grown so accustomed to, but I'm still going to go on, because firstly, my God is for me, none can be against me. Secondly, because I have Him, I can face tomorrow. No matter what tomorrow brings. Even if AC wasn't the best choice I could possibly have made, by His finished work on the cross I am blessed wherever I go. My God never leaves me nor forsakes me. I walk nowhere, I walk no road, alone.
He gives me strength to go to school next Monday.
And I may yet be wrong. Maybe I haven't even given AC a chance yet. *wane smile*
But this is the challenge I've posed to myself, what is a challenge without it being challenging?
I chose AC.
And I'm going to make the best out of it.
Got to go now.. Back to Haig Girls', for the first time in many months (heh) to receive my Edusave Scholarship.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
Psalms 23: 4-6

OMGWTHBBQ.I'm absolutely exhausted (again).
But its been a really, terrific day.
My legs feel like they're being weighed down by lead but mass dance is really fun!
Don't see how I'm going to keep much of my online life at the rate school is going.
Still, its only day two and I'd get used to it soon enough.
Need to pack some stuff before the old furniture makes its way here tomorrow (and the old gets unceremoniously kicked out after serving the family for as long as I have ever remembered).
Wants sleep.. @___@
My vocabulary has been reduced to some form of twisted gibber.
Snooze. May 5.45AM be long in coming.
Dear Lord please extend my time and give me strength for the days that are to come. For you are a good God. You are a God who can and will.
You are my glory and the lifter of my head.
JESUS. My rest is in you. Have your way in me, for I am way too weary to look after myself.
By your grace you give me rest, peace for my soul, and joy for the coming days ahead.

Someone's logged into my Blogger account. I know it.I am most sensitive to the subtle differences present.
First day today. I'm absolutely exhausted and just want to get to bed asap. And to think its only the first day of orientation!
I hearts Calahir.
Didn't really do much interaction as a group I guess, just a bit at the beginning. Did more games and dancing, which doesn't really give you much of an opportunity to interact. The dance is fabulous. But rather difficult (for me, after all since when I have ever been known for my wonderous dancing capabilities).
Group's pretty quiet, but guess we haven't really had the time to get to know each other very well as of yet.
AC's so very, very different from TK.
You can really feel the school spirit fizzin' in the air.
Its so different that I didn't feel like I actually fit in quite as yet.
I mean, I do get along okay with my OG mates.
I'm just not used to ACSian culture yet.
And the travelling. It made me wonder more than once whether I had made the right decision.
But I decided, I left my comfort zone because I wanted change. I wanted something different. I didn't want to go to another place that was TK all over again.
Gee. Don't think I want to talk too much about it.
I'd probably start talking nonsense.
Love the fact that AC does morning devotions and they start and end the day with a prayer.
And since I am in AC, and I do intend to stay beyond these first 3 months, I might as well thank God that my time here is going to be blessed.
And not worry about the What Ifs and If Only.
My God holds my tomorrow. He has gone ahead for me and prepared a good way for me. =)
I know my God is faithful. He can and He will look after His beloved.
And now, I'm seriously just too tired to go on about this anymore.
Hope everyone else had fun at your various orientations!

Someone just reminded me that its eight hours to school.Apparently I got the whole clan thing wrong and its so confusing but I suppose I'd get it tomorrow.
Went to the Times Bookfair today, the one where Floss gets all the books I want (and mostly, I don't).
Still managed to get a few David Baldacci and Jasper Fforde books.
JASPER FFORDE. You hear that Dotty and Floss? =X
Its not exactly Kino but since you, my dear friends, recommended him so, I shall trust that they'd prove to be interesting reads.
TK Campfire this coming Saturday. Maybe I'd go back and kaypoh a bit. After that whatever thing where I have to go back to my primary school, attend some award presentation thing to get.... an edusave scholarship.
Mumbles.
Okay, the government is giving me money. I appreciate it fully, I do! Really!
Don't really want to miss caregroup though. And its at the time caregroup starts as well. Buggerit.
Shall go watch the results show for Campus Superstar now.
Didn't get to hear Evonne. Evon. How on earth is her name spelt? I don't know.
Was at Ikea enjoying my Swedish meatballs.
The last girl and the first guy were not bad. I like 'em.
The RI guy was just.. an RI guy. =_= Dork alert. And he ruined Jay Chou.
Some of them seem to have a bit of a proununciation problem with words starting with 'T' and 'D'. Result of us being so totally angmoh-fied and whatnot, probably.
Nevertheless, may the best singer win! :D

BAH!This has to be the earliest I've woken up all week. *mumbles*
My Mom is a very truthful person. She never lies to me...
Except when she's trying to get me out of bed.
It takes quite a lot of skill to get me out of bed, it seems.
Poor Mom's working today. And its a public holiday at that.
At least Sis and I are having dinner with her.
Love is now within me, Emmanuel.
He is the reason, we celebrate and praise.
Love revealed his glory.
Grace came down, dwelt among us.
Gave His life to redeem us,
Brought eternal peace and joy,
Joy to the world.
Love's come down.
So beautiful. Sis is attempting to play it on the piano now. *lol*
I'm in one of my tiddly happy moods.
Praise Jesus.
He puts a song in my mouth and a sword in my hand.
My heart overflows with the goodness of the Lord. <3
OH goodness. I just realized why no one's comments appear on this page. Sorry Schwal and Sheep. Lol. Apparently I moderated them without knowing, everything should work fine now. XP

LOL.ROFLMAO.Never thought I'd see the day S gets courted. Always knew you had it in you girl. *attempts to avoid debris and miscellaneous rubble*
You're hilarious.
Church was good today. Went to NYDC with (a small portion of) the RJ/HC/AC caregroup after service. Charles didn't make it to AC. A pity, one less inidividual to have verbal sparring with. There's still Serene though, who appealed in from RJ Arts so she could take Science.
Had favour with the Bakin Boyz' employee today! Mom and I were buying some muffins and cookies, and he gave us an additional one free of charge. =) Grace grace!
Gave it to Cait, who was working (nearby) at the Pet Shop.
*hearts Cait*
Anyway, family had lunch/high-tea at Kuali today. Its this buffet place in the Convention Centre where you board the Duck Tour.
The variety was good and the food was definitely palatable. There was a wide selection of appitizers including a full salad bar and more importantly, salmon sashimi. (Quite important to Liz, in some respect.)
The chicken rice there is fantastic. As in, the chicken of course. Liz has never been fanatical about rice. The dessert passed, and dessert, is really, to Sissy and I, the most important part of a meal.
Its not bad really, 29+++ on a public holiday. Much nicer than the 35+++ we paid at Amara hotel the other day. Firstly, the food there was already horrible. And to add to that, I was most mortified to find they didn't even have watermelon.
At that point in time, Liz being so completely miffed over the lousy selection that the fruits ended up being the last straw. No watermelons!
Gah.
Just to note that Kuali is a good buffet place where the money'd be worth spending. (:
Schwal dear is telling me the most interesting things right now.
I never knew!
Anyway, *stares at comments on tagboard*
You've got to be kidding. There's a reason why I don't sing, because I entertain the highly likely possiblity that I would probably make it as far as Mr. Silent Whisper.
Two days to SCHOOL! (:
So exciting. Yeow An says I'm in her 'clan'. Celahir. Pronounced 'Ceh-ler-hay'. Apparently there are a few genres, and I'm in the Fantasy one. There's Lossehelin and Cansir (I think) as well, really, really uncommon bunch of fantasy names but hey, its my favourite genre so I ain't complaining.
Lossehelin's probably from the LotR universe, I know I've read it somewhere. Celahir sounds like someone's RPG name. .___.
When my OGL called all I managed to comprehend was 'Stellar-haze'. And my eyebrow just disappeared into my hairline as Rene and I stood outside Toy Room in Suntec.
Finally bought my shoes for school. My second pair of pink Nikes. Lovely.
Mom gave me an allowance raise for this year. Grace grace! Thank you Lord for favour.
Think I'd head down to the Times bookfair tomorrow. The one where Floss always seems to get the books I want while I don't. *glares*
I want more Pratchett.
And something interesting to blog about.
