dang dang dang DANG!
Congrats to Yasmine and Shaocai!!!! YOU'RE MARRIED!!! Yeah... yas' my 1st peer to get married!!! the closest before you would have been carlson, my then youth fellowship mentor... but though yas' a little older than i am, but she was a peer, colleague and friend - its BIG to me! haha... i was going to do my assignment, den saw billy's email and photos from the ceremony... so i got distracted instead... it all looks sooooo sweet.... :) *BIG SMILE*
speaking abt marriage - this was funny, y'day nite i ran into some frens at a cafe, 2 of them stays with another fren from church. den one heard from the church fren that she is planning to move out wif deborah, but the other heard that she was going to move out wif a newly wed couple... so, for some days they were quite shocked to "find out" that i was married! haha!!! yea, so i told them, "right, and the baby's coming in abt a year's time"... (for the record, me and that church fren were intending to move with a newly wed couple so that's 4 pple living together!)
yasmine i feel so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if anyone remember, the link on the side of this blog was "yasmine bride to be", now she's "yasmine married woman now"!! :D

sashimi story
Finally ate my sashimi today! wanted to eat it after i view apartment on saturday, but den ruth and kezia and jace decided to go ikea instead so since i havent been there... i went with them lor... anyway, its was nice to go ikea, see all MY furniture in the stores.. haha... i miss my tree of bags at home... ikea was basically the same as sg's one, prob more like the tampines one than the queenstown one... it was only until we reached the stocking area where u pick up ur packed furniture, wooo... tat was very huge and amazing... haha...
den i wanted to wake early to eat sashimi in the city before i went to wilston to attend bill's commissioning service but overslept so i could only eat a picnic bar and went straight to wilston presbyterian church. it was a small church, but quite cozy... all the qut-christians pple played music and lead worship, which was great cos we always only hav bible study, its the 1st time i actually congregationally worshipped with them. there was bass guitar, piano, cello, and flute! it kind of lacked the sounds of drums but i guess the bass guitar made up for that a bit... but anyway, its not about the music, its abt the worship!
den today wanted to wake early to go buy stamp and post letter and EAT SASHIMI but i overslept again! the assignments are making my sleeping hours so wrong and causing me to miss my mornings everyday! BUT tutorial ended at 4.45pm and i got till 6pm for the next lecture so i finally went to city to EAT SASHIMI!!! haha... after such a long wait... sashimi tasted sooooo good!
sashimi!
i finally had a taste of sashimi after months of being here... ate some sushi take-away in the city, like 3 or 4 days ago... wah, but it was genourous and good! normally the sushi take-aways i dun always see got sashimi, they always good weird cooked meat in it that i dun think goes at all... or maybe i've juz always passed by the lousy ones.. haha... but this one had raw salmon wrapped in seaweed and rice - fantastic!!
now i got BIG time craving!!! i must have some tmr!!!
the secret
"the secret" - heard of that? it's quite big in aussie - i think... i've seen it a common of times on tv... juz now there was a oprah talk show on the secret... i've seen it in the bookshops too.. dunno sg got this or not... anyway.. the secret is the law of attraction.. which basically see us, human beings, as engery... and when we focus on something, it gives vibration and attracts the things we focus on (something like tat?).. so, if u focus on you will be rich rather than how pathetically poor you are now, or if u focus on feeling good rather than "im very stressed and strugglying" now - you'll get the good things instead of the bad...
whatever...
this sounds exactly like the kind of crap my dad would like, and believe... the law of attraction - the ends of it is good, a person becomes more focused, more positive, lives happy! BUT the means of it is bad... it kicks God out of the picture... there's something goofy about it, but i think, yea, the main prob is it disregards God's involvement. "the bad things happen to us becos WE focus on the bad things, and the good things happens becos WE focus on the good thing." ends justify mean - telelogical ethic approach (haha, see i really do study my PR subjects) - but i dun think ends should justify means... it doesnt work that way, not in this case at least...
in anycase, the more you see the secret in a more objective way, the more u'll start to find it goofy too... so world, be aware and be curious! but safeguard your souls... ;)
spiderman, spiderman...
Yeah... I finally watched spiderman.. haha... i think i liked spidery 2 better, but this one's not bad too...

boxes
haha... one funny thing wif my ang mo group mate today... (bkgrd infor, the group consists of 1 angmo guy, 2 chinese gals including moi)
guy: got this jap test tmr, i gotta remember all these (shows us some cards wif chinese/jap characters with jap writings and eng translation)
ya, cos u know, some jap words are identical to chinese words, so we'd (me and the other chinese gal) know the meaning of the words but not how to pronounce it in japanese.
me: tell me what is this? (shows a card that has the word "口")
him: man, i dunno what is that....
me: it's a box! haha... no its "mouth".. haha...
me: what is is? (shows a card that has the word "回")
him: oh no, i dunno whats that too...
me and other gal: its 2 boxes!!!
all burst out laughing, and that guy can only shake his head in disbelief.. HAHA!
later that gal and i figured out that we could go up to 4 boxes! 3 boxes is "品", and 4 boxes could be "田"!!!!!
even later today while on my way home, when the sky was dark at 6pm... i saw this small thing crossing the road in the dark... it was probably like only 3 drawers high, got a head, 2 legs, and 2 hands sticking out... i thoughti saw a baby gorilla!! den as 'it' moved reacher and faster towards me... pew.... it's juz a kid with a thick hoodie on... HAHAHAHA!

went house viewing wif amelia and helen, saw cathedral place apts, small unit but the estate was really cool... but one thing was that the 2 bedrooms didnt have windows... one was better cos it has a huge balcony door, but the other bedroom juz had some fake window facing the living room.. haha... den met this other gal whom i might move in to... had coffee, actually i waited very long for her, she was super late... so i had the coffee myself and chatted wif her when she finally arrived over ice water... :s besides making me wait for so long, she seemed quite alrite... havent seen the apt that we might share yet, so im not decided abt whether i will move there yet... den unicell at nite, and more coffee after our cell group! haa... but this time i had ice chocolate too... yummz....
