[ Quotes ]
All our lives we search for someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance the song of heartbreak and hope all the while,wondering if somewhere,somehow there is someone searching for us.
~~~
Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.
~~~
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

It's funny how God works.
Every night after i finish studying, I would exit my room and walk in the dark and enter my nanny's room(we share the same room). Now the room was tons brighter than the rest of the house because the curtains are opened and light was shining in. Many nights I wonder why is it so bright? Why is the sky always so red at night? Then I looked out and finally realised it was the street lamp which was producing the light which led me to bed. Also my neighbour's Buddism alter's lighting could be seen. I know it may sound really loser-ish, "how can someone not know there's a lamp right outside her house?". Doesn't this sound all so familiar? How long have we been walking in God's light without noticing it? Sometimes we think that we're leading such great lives because we earned it with our own might. Wrong. We're enjoying our lives because He allows our abilities to determine them. Or maybe even because, He gives us THOSE abilities. We should really stop taking God for granted, for with one word, our lives can be darkened.
Even that Buddism alter gave me light. Haha, who's ever known that God even uses people's idols for their benefits. Don't get me wrong now, don't go idolising unreal things because "Gerry told me so!".
I attend COOS' J21 concert. It was two days before my Geography Preliminary paper 2. (Just for info:I only passed one geog test this year.) I was really relunctant to go as I REALLY needed to study. But there was a persistant force that got my mind made up. I think it was Him. So i thought: 'okay, I must put God as my proirity. Maybe if i sacrifice my time, He'll reward me'. So i was just basically going to the service, awaiting my reward. Then, the speaker was talking about Jesus dying for us. How foolish was I to even think that sacrificing time was worth praise. How foolish of me.
Church's fun. Tracy and the rest of my cell planned for a surprise for me during cell, which was one day after my actual birthday. Streamers were hanging down from the ceiling. They entered the room after i did and started singing "Happy Birthday". What a great birthday. I love my cell.

Alright. So friday was Gerry's birthday.
On Tuesday, after Teachers' Day Celebration, Fang noticed a note on her table which read "LOOK UNDER YOUR DESK". So she did and found her cash and EZlink card, apparently her wallet was 'missing'. Knowing Gris has always been the pranker, Fang immediately accused Gris (now, Gris hates being accused). Boy, were they upset. Fang kept pointing her finger at Gris while Gris was just angry to the core. I told Fang to look for it in the PA room. So Gris and I were in class, both packing our stuff and said nothing. Fang came running back shouting even louder than before. Chessy also asked Gris again. Obviously, the 'innocent' girl was hurt and unjustified. There she went running into the toilet and coming back with tears all over. (Before I saw her crying, Fang and I went to look for Mrs Choo and told her what happened to the wallet.) Anyway, we went back. Fang was so pissed to see Gris cry and stuff. The netties wanted to take photos, so i rushed off to them. Ok, so that day was bad. WHY IN THE WORLD DID MY TWO BEST FRIENDS FIGHT 3 DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY????
Tuition that night was horrible. I was sitting between them. Mom was giving Fang dirty looks while Fang just sat quietly. After tuition, I walked mom to the bus stop.
On my birthday: Fang and I went to Ms Bong to report on her wallet. Good that two of them had made up a little, so celebrating the special was still possible. Unfortunately, Gris had a bad stomach ache before SS paper and suddenly had fever after that. Oh great, disappointment. (DID I MENTION HOW COINCIDENTAL IT WAS?AND WHY WAS EVERYONE SURROUNDING THE SICK GRIS IN FRONT OF ME?) Anyway, I was satisfied. The day in school was fantastic despite the two papers. Well, it was still my birthday right? Just treasure it to the end, you know. Fang and i went out to eat lunch at Sakae, in Orchard. I brought clothes to change because we wanted to play pool and go to the arcade. But i've forgotten my shoes! No way was i going to walk around in Orchard in outside clothes and SCHOOL SHOES. So our plan was ruined. The movie times were also not good. TEST: "Fang, since we've got nothing to do, let's just go back to my place and sleep, i'm exhausted." Ok, her face swelled up a little, she replied NAH. In the end, we went back to her place and played CS and slept. Gerry wondered: why does Fang have so many phone calls today?Hmmm.
At home: Fang wanted to sleep before dinner. HMMM.. Ok, so up we went. My nanny asked me if i wanted to eat. Naturally, i looked through the window, down the airwell. Well, spotted 4 pairs of legs in the dining room. (Now if I'm not wrong, i only have 1 nanny.) So i yelled "WALAO". How freaked they were. Gris, Chessy and Tiff came up and told me the fight between Gris and Fang was an act. "OH SH*T"-I exclaimed. Well, Gris ruined it more by saying "Hi, it's only the three of us here". HMM.. Haha. So down i went and had a heart attack.
Well, the whole class, Mrs Choo and Ms Bong played along. Fang's wallet was never stolen. Gris was slapping herself to cry and everyong was pressurizing her to(on tue). She was never sick. She just pretended to puke and Lijun was her alliance. She also used warm water to heat up her forehead. Chessy also knew what was going on and pointed her finger at Gris too.
The day in school was GREAT. Was greeted was hugs and birthday songs from so many people! Well, last birthday in MG did end off well.
THANKS TO: mom, fang, chessy and tiff for all the planning!
those who played along and came over: THE WHOLE CLASS, Bdiv netties 2004(including my dear debbie and Ms Tay), claire tay, kelly, luddy, janie, kay, KY, Mrs Choo and Ms Bong.Hope I didn't miss out anyone.
And also those who made my day.
It was unforgettable.
