reach for the stars

Really tired now. Still, I succumbed to the temptation of taking just a couple more photos before i head off for the bathroom ritual. ohh faith!!kaka..

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy. They just said it would be worth it.

Yesterday was filming for this variety show Her sense n i came on with salah dressing while guest stylist Trey was there to advise on what accesories can go with what clothes. But most of the show, it’s about the host n guest celebs talking about accesories. Do catch the show every mon, 10.30pm ch 8. Hosting the show is zhong qing jie n the guests this week were dawn, trey n ya hui.

给我们一点吃的吧! hehe.

By God’s grace, I have sailed through to the finals of Miss Singapore Sweetheart’08. Praise the Lord! Come down to Courts (who are our dear sponsors) this sat 5th Jul to see the Top 12 finalists at 1pm-3pm where the final 12 will vie for the crown. It is held at the big Courts Megastore in Tampines. Don’t go to the wrong one, it is not the one at Tampines Mall. But the one at Courts megastore. ;) Do come down to have some fun with us while we put up a great show for you guys. Much support is needed and very much appreciated! Most importantly, may God be there with me again for this.

Twas a very fun day filming with the crew at the crocodile house for my very first commercial experience. So at first i was thinking to myself, what on earth is this super cereal? Is it some cornflakes that has some SUPER ingredients inside or what. later on then i found out that it’s actually the SUPER brand, and it’s the cereal drink that u can take every morning that fills up your tummy and makes for a quick meal. *alamak gal* I really enjoyed my day n so gonna miss everyone esp my dear mama n stan. 

They’re really adorable. laugh until my cheeks pain nia..kakaka…

We escaped to escape theme park to scream our hearts out.

And wow its been so long since i last been there.

A couple of changes here and there, nothing much, they threw in a small haunted house n a new spaceship ride.

Not as heart-popping, blood pressure rising as i thought it would be.

But still, not bad.. brings back many sweet memories..

And yes.. i’m definately going to talk about the screaming frog incident.

*Grins*

I will try to recount everything as succintly n accurately as possible.

So we were at the beach, close to midnight, making our way back home.

It was pitch dark with just a couple of lamp posts every few metres apart.

We were walking across this long patch of grass, heading for the pavement which will lead us out of this ulu dark place back outside.

Just as our feets hit the white pavement for pedestrians, noi suddenly saw something which she told us was a blade of grass on her foot and attempted to flick it off.

So the thing fell to one side right in front of the 3 of us.

At that moment, we peered down hard in utmost concentration like any curious human being, trying to look at exactly at what’s that green thing that fell onto our dear friend’s foot.

There was this 3 secs of ultimate silence.

Long and hard stares, face bent closer to it.

the longest 3 secs pause ever.

What is that what is that.

*brain processing fast*

3 secs it took for our brains to finally make out that this GREEN BLADE OF GRASS as Noi claimed actually had eyes n slimey webbed feet.

Our reaction came at the exact same time.

ARGHHHHHGHHHH..WAHHHH!!! Waahhhhhharghhhhh..argggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Arms flapping wildly, not caring if we left anyone behind with the creature, we sprinted off in front of each other, extremely petrified.

It turns out that it was a very very ugly toad. 

The poor guy.

I think it was thinking that, not only these gals brought me out from my grass habitat, u still had to scream at me like banshees in the night.

Just my luck that i landed on her feet while hunting for supper!

But as if we hadn’t screamed enough for the day already. tsk.

As they say, curiousity kills the cat.

Luckily no one was in the vicinity to hear us screaming like that.. hahahaha 

Tapbaos oeiii..  TB: OEI…

Tapbaos Oeiiiiiiii!!  TB: OEIII…

Tapbaos OEIIIIIII!!!  TB: SUD SUD OEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

ps I love you guys. so very much too.

What doesn’t break you, makes you stronger. What doesn’t break you, makes you stronger. What doesn’t break you, makes you stronger.

It’s all in our mentality, to change the way we want to carry on living,  the way we think, the things we cherish in life.

Change is good.

To continue staying in this warped mentality of ours is useless, just wishful thinking on our part.

Many people going through heart aches, broken relationships, broken marriages, unrequited love etc

To them i say,

Hang in there.

Cos all will be fine.

Time heals all pain. 

When new memories enter our brain, old memories tend to get kicked out.

And we don’t exactly have a 10G memory.

1 yr to forget? 2 yrs? 200yrs?

bahhh..

Just believe..

Jiayou.. Aza aza fighting!

Really wanna thank God for the awesome service today.

Feeling real touched and rejuvenated…

I learnt something very interesting and scientific from the pastor. Something that concerns staying youthful

ok hold on a min, i’m getting there.

Note to self first, muz always put ALL of my trust in the lord even in the midst of a problem. Believe that God would solve our problems and not wait until u solve the problem then think that u deserve rest.

But rest first and wait on God, and he will make ur enemies(our problems) ur footstool. 

Also learnt that speaking in tongues when we face a situation, we can immediately feel the rest of God’s presence. And all our big problems would seem like a speck of dust.

I think sometimes it’s hard to entrust my problems totally to God especially when the problem is smack right in my face.

I tend to wanna handle it myself and not trust God enough to handle it for me. But practise makes perfect eh?

Alright, getting to the really interesting part.

Well, did you know?

Our DNA has a strip of plastic that protects it and holds it together. And when that strip of plastic breaks down and wears off, it will cause us to age and that will inevitably make us look older. And look here, the thing that wears down this strip of plastic is actually STRESS.

Stress is the thing that makes us age!!!! Proven scientifically by the doctors.

Arggg!! STRESS!!

How can?!!!

I thought maybe it was some other thing, er i don’t knw really, say the SUN??!!!

TSK.

So it’s actually u stress….

So i suppose now no point stressing over every small little thing. (for starters, the sun gal)

Must always stay calm and cool. and be rested. in God’s presence.

Always always always!

Missing my dear friends and loved ones right now……. missing everybody…… :/

I reckon i should keep a record of the list of medicine that heals me the fastest.

Believe you me, doctors don’t know for sure whats the best prescribtion for u and they have to keep trying different drugs on you until they get the right one.

Each body is different, so the doctor can’t know for sure what type of drugs will not work on your body.

Considering there are like a gazillion type of drugs in this world. 

And since each time i am sick it’s always the same ol’ symptoms.

So instead of being a guinea pig and waiting like forever for the right drug to come along my way, i’m gonna remember them myself from now onwards.

Next time i will just tell the doc, eh plz give me this, this and this.. lol!

Last but not least, wishing everyone a happy chinese new year and an early happy valentine’s day.

I bid you now an early good night. Rest well. muackz.

My medicine list:

cantbelieveiamdoingthis

Fever: paracetamol 500g (Beacons)

Blocked Nose: triprolidine HCI 2.5mg, pseudoephedrine HCI 60mg (Fedac tablet)

Antibiotics: amoxycillin Trihydrate B.P. 500mg-AMYN 500 (Kopran)

Sore Throat: cofsils lozenges- orange flavour

Today shall mark the beginning of the new year, of my life and the beginning of a brand new day for me. Call me crazy but i just feel that sometimes it is a blessing in disguise to fall sick once in a while. cos once you get better, everything changes. Ur view towards life, urself n everything. And you start to really appreciate good health.

Ok la maybe i’m just slow and dumb to only realise that now, but better late than never right….. hahaha.

I admit to the long torment of being sick, the feeling of hopelessness, the depressed thoughts that you’re never gonna get better and u dread living on another day like this. It is all, but permanent, and just another day of the blues.

And once it is over, there is this renewed breath of life that comes back into me again, literally like i’ve only just realised that i am able-bodied and can do all sorts of things, and get back on the express bus. or train. 

I mean when u remember what u actually went through when you’re sick,when you’re healthy; u just feel like working real hard cos you’re healthy and ur just grateful u ain’t sick no more… arg i confused me. But of cos this doesn’t work for long if you have poor memory… like me. hahaha..

Trust me, it was depressing to be down and out on the first day of 2008. but hey, i survived. and really post sick period now and i’m feeling SO alive. I’ve learnt that without health, there really isn’t anything else.

PS I think u all know how very the LOH SOH i am right. once i start, i don’t think i can stop. Just so if you happen to fall asleep halfway and start drooling all ova ur brand new laptop, i’m sorry man.. ok i digressed.

And lest to say i’m starting to appreciate and feel so blessed to have a pair of hands, and legs, some lungs… heart, liver, some internal organs, cells n all of that…. to feel light headed cos my head is no longer clouded, skies are blue again..

to be able to jump up and touch my ceiling, to not walk around the house like a dead zombie n berate others for talking too much, when i can’t make out much of what they r saying but to be prancing around again…

to think straight and talk properly, n truly laugh because it’s funny and not that sickly urrhhz laugh for the sake of it, to retaliate at ppl’s bad jokes (ops) and *wash all the dirty dishes, All! EVERYTHING… I likee…

I actually find that last one very enjoyable…. haha… what. cannot isit? ok i merely just wanted to mark this day as a new n happy beginning of everything. whos to know why i ended up blabbing so much. alright… I’ll spare u.

i pray that God’s love, peace and guidiance be with each and everyone of u for the year 2008.

Until next time, happy new year!

Grabbed this video from dear yanjing.

It’s about Ella’s dog who just passed away and she made this song in dedication to him- qiang qiang.

Really tried to hold back my tears, but too hard to control.

As I watch the mv, it reminds me of boy boy and how much i dread to lose him.

I know i will miss him so much should he decide to go to heaven. =*

    Love u so much charlie boy!   

Treasure your pets. To you he maybe just a pet, but to him, you’re his everything.
