hallelujah for everything.

haha the thing for the long absence is, no time to update. so busy this week that i only got time to watch 2 shows which is phenomenal! oops i dunno how to spell. looks wrong.

good things that have happened/will happen these few days:

clique outing a success! just as old times.

friday's family party was super fun! especially going through the birthday cards we made for each other when young.

tomorrow gonna fly kite at marina barrage!

yesterday was amabel's party! though you wont read this, i love you alot and im proud that youre 21!

spent more time with loved ones!

orientation and subject days rock!

gonna send neow yee off on wed! which is actually a sad thing but a good thing in a way too!

cca walkabout! we will ROCK vjc!

piano theory feels more prepared now! but better not say so early.

today's worship and sermon was awesome as always!

chinese new year = cookies are coming! *drools*

all i need is glee and chuck!

okay everyone should always count their blessings but now i feel like scrapping whatever is on top. its sounds too.. about me.

so whoever is reading this. take this as a self-absorbed anissa mindlessly ranting.

then think about how we can love and serve the people around us.

if we all did.

2009-11-09T18:25:00.001-08:00

turning seventeen is awesome!

i think birthdays are there to remember the people you love, and remember that they love you,

and the fact that you came out of your mother's womb in a disgusting sticky mess, isn't important at all.

thank you all! :D :D :D

anw, i was forced to pack my cupboard today which got quite fun in the end. and here's a count of the number of pants i have:

Home pants: 3

Pyjamas pants: 3

Sport shorts: 6

Jeans: 4

Long Pants: 2

Track Pants: 2

Shorts: 4

Trousers: 4

3/4 Pants: 5

Board shorts: 2

Total number of pants: 35

Total number of skirts: 2

HAHA. boyish-girly ratio is overwhelming.

2009-11-02T06:27:00.001-08:00

time now for an admittedly self-revolving post on the last 4 days which has been a blast!

haha.

friday was a random meeting with yy and jingwen!

super laughing session and im glad to see how we can still crap like never before, how circumstances just fell into place, that we could find a time to meet up at the last mo!

it's like we're living our separate lives together.

which doesnt make sense to me, but at the same time it makes sense.

the weekend was climb on! which is a bouldering carnival where you get to try different routes all day long. gahhh.

EXCELLENT team bonding, cant wait for next year's. promise myself to climb more and spend less time at the playground. haha.

i feel that the team is at last coming together again, after the endless fits of laughter.

the kind where you really cannot breathe

and spit out food

and stomach damn pain kind.

and today was op-supply-shopping with eugenia and ashley!

left my phone at popular. almost died of heart attack.

then celebrate-end-of-chinese-a-levels lunch with euge, ash, hots bros and suzanna!

then watched my sisters keeper!

which i think the guys didnt really like cos it was like those cryingcrying kind.

so although there's still OP and a million other things to do. i thank God for the above.

WOOHOO.

2009-10-26T07:45:00.000-07:00

i don't know why but i feel so blessed for the friends i have today!

talk to self : no more ice kachang this month. spammed two bowls with wl today. 0_0

and and and wednesday before OP maybe i'll go east coast quiet time. so excited. spend time with God! if only i can bring guitar there too.

alright now be forewarned for some optimism ahead!

haha.

on a side thought, everyone has problems and we all go through the same things, so why complain? it's how you can take things positively and use it for your own good and others' good.

sounds.. generic, but i really believe so.

fun things dont need to happen for things to be enjoyed. Like, going to the toilet with Suzanna today was damn fun. don't ask. hahaha.

i guess,

we shouldn't just go through the motions of life, but live everyday with passion and know that wherever you are, you have been placed there to make a difference.

btw, tiffany, if you read this irregular blog, tag la. :D haha.

2009-10-25T01:24:00.000-07:00

And I'll be by your side

Wherever you fall

In the dead of night

Whenever you call

And please don't fight

These hands that are holding you.

sometimes i am at a loss at what to do. i want to be a better friend, i really do.

but i'm not sure if anything i say is of any use.

then maybe i try to react in apathy. but i do care, after all.

On a lighter note. this week is classified "fun".

class outings are awesome and so are neoprints. more on facebook. teeheehee.

xiaowen got baptised! truly a blessing and today's sermon really spoke to me.

wish that time wouldnt fly so fast cos i kinda am starting to get confused over what things happened on what days and what days will have what things.

2009-10-11T09:57:00.000-07:00

A choo choo train my thoughts awander.

Choo choo chugga chugga. choo choo chugga chugga. choo chooooooo.

Keno dais Eire Riche.

YAYAY.

"I don't want to write about climbing; I don't want to talk about it; I don't want to photograph it; I don't want to think about it; all I want to do is do it."

People recently talked about updating their blogs and people updated their blogs and I am a person therefore I update my blog. so i will write a piece of post.

Which sounds like a piece of toast, in all its peanut-butter honey dripping glory.

Anyway, I feel like my brain is going a thousand miles an hour. Which is equals to 447.04 m / s, which is equal to 1 609.344 km/h.

So if that were ever physically true, my brain, therefore, fueled by the madness of its thoughts,

and seeking to escape this asylum of a skull, would then be propelling itself forward,

cracking free of its calcified prison where it has mostly lain unused all these years.

As it drifts out of my head, it will think of all the things it will do, the people it will meet,

the adventures it would have.

it would be excited about the flight of freedom it has just embarked upon.

but only for a moment.

because then it will realize that brains don't have wings. (And never will, no matter what Red Bull says.)

and then it will dawn upon my brain that it should have just stayed in my head.

And it's last thought would probably be:

"Oh crap."

And I might not, probably won't, be alive.

Yes, I'm in a gory state of mind.

I love 09S43

2009-04-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

School is really really busy, i'm behind in homework.
the apple tree is part of the rose family. Holga cameras take really exquisite photos.
And God is good. :D

2009-03-04T05:35:00.000-08:00

Why does time fly so fast!!

it seems like awhile and its already been three weeks i think.
really enjoying jc life, what with the many recesses and really really amazing people. our class very bonded loh. and i have like thousands of laughing fits over the dumbest things. i mean really laugh until the whole chair will just vibrate and my stomach pain like siao. haha. Ah!

and rockclimbing rocks! i was born to climb! though i still need to develop strength, like i cant even do a single pullup, but i think im quite agile. ^^

haaha but in terms of studies, i dont think im doing so well. dont know wad teacher talking bout during chemistry. haiz.

and CRAP! because there are many people i support on today's american idol episode, and they only select three!

2009-02-13T01:05:00.000-08:00

FRIDAY THE 13TH!

cool yea. so end of one week and lessons have officially started. its been one week with my class too and i love my class already! its only been a few days but ive made some friends that i feel can last a life time. and many people in my class share my taste of music hehes.
and lessons are quite fun especially lit and mayb chem but then i get quite lost in math. :/

the class is quite quiet during lessons for now, but i dont think it will be once we become complacent or wadever haha!

oh and "friendship day" today didnt really have much going on. just the normal giving presents here and there.

bbq tonight. yumyum.

i also cant wait for dentist tmr where i will be extracting two more teeth.
also hoping that there will be a fourone gathering tmr.

also looking forward to eating the cookie im holding in my hand now.

2009-02-06T23:05:00.000-08:00

end of first week of orientation in vjc!

on the whole, it was really good. the first few days was okay, i mean the cheers and dances and games were fun, but didnt feel like i made any real friends in og.

But, as time passed, our og became more bonded as people (and i) opened up more!
our ogls were also very supportive and encouraging all the time, and it would have been nothing without them. and i realise my og people are funny and friendly people and SHIT most of us wont be going to the same class.

annd, mass dance at suntec ytd was super awesome!
although i missed cell group reunion dinner because of it but nvm. you cant have everything.

it was nice to have all the andersonians in vj get together like one family at the suntec fountain and i'm really glad they are all here. and im super happy minhui is in vj too. of course i miss our other classmates ALOT! and i think i lost my sanity last night. hahas.

ok this morning woke up with my lip swollen, really really swollen, i think cause of sunburn or allergy, anw doctor give me medicine so now not so scary liao.

2009-01-20T02:37:00.000-08:00

today went tree top walk with minhui bobby welson and jingkai.
it was really tiring, but well worth it. the view was super! but it was abit scary to look down directly cos i worry my specs will drop off. and it was not as crowded as the previous time when i went after it just opened.
then after that had prata and played truth or truth for very long until the curry all dry up liao. hahahahas. okk didnt really dry up la.

i think i need to be more disciplined. because i always procrastinate even though i dont want too. haha.
how come some people can be so selfmotivated leh.

2008-12-27T18:23:00.001-08:00

christmas was this week! and alot of things happened.

the crestere christmas party was a success i think! it went well, and i think everyone got along great even though some people didnt know each other. yeap, hallelujah! we played a few games, including murderer. and yiqin was murderer but she didnt kill anyone cos she wasnt good at winking. hahas. so in the end there were four murderers, but even then, hardly anyone got killed.

the food was good too. delphne's shepherd pie was snapped up in the matter of a few minutes.

went to kl last week too! some pictures for viewing pleasure then.

view from our hotel, which was the gardens hotel. and the toilet super nice cos got like rain shower.
and the hotel also linked to the shopping centre, so if we get tired, can just go up and rest.

my family and i at the garden outside kl twin towers.

this is the klcc shopping mall which has a super huge christmas tree which can hantam our singapore christmas trees anyday.

oh, and in kl, movies and popcorn is so freaking cheap! like half price compared to singapore.

i bought a large popcorn, only around 4 ringgit!! unfortunately, we lost more than half of our popcorn when it dropped on the floor. haha. we were like picking it up from the ground and putting it back in. XD

so yesterday, minhui yiying jingwen jingkai welson hanping clemence joshua and i went to snowcity+science centre!
at snow city we had this crazy snow fight, and when we came out of there, we were soaking wet and freezing too!

the 10 dollar photo. =/
which shows all of us going down the snowcity slope. except minhui cos she didnt go snowcity.

actually the slope thing very exhilarating, but then by the time you reach the bottom, snow will be in your face and coat and shoes and pants.
haha so can die la.
somebody kept smashing snow into my face, hahas. and the snow was very dirty cos when i wiped my face, got black stuff.
then, off to science centre, which was quite fun, and i learnt a few things too. :D

fish tanks are a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

reach out to your fellow man.

overall a nice day spent in good company!

and now, i'll be off to muar, for our church prayer retreat! first time going overseas with the tribe, so i'm very excited!
just packed my bag just now, and its so full until really gonna pok! if you open the zip, everything will fly out. haha.
just looking back at this week, i thank God for the family and friends He has blessed me with.

When the nations crumble
The word of the Lord will stay
Kings may rise and fall
His love will endure
Though the strong may stumble
The joy of the Lord is strength

cant wait for the new year.

2008-12-18T07:07:00.000-08:00

i like lists. specifically in making them, though i hardly complete them.

there is satisfaction in crossing something off a list, but then i get ambitious, so i add more stuff.
like one step forward, two steps back.

and i just finished packing for the kl trip which is the day after tomorrow. (and i'm moderately insanely excited about it) so i know that i'm packing way early, if not my grandma would rant to me about it.

also, i baked cakes and cookies with some friends today too, and our first cake was really really really awful, because it wasn't fully cooked and at some point we added the egg white wrongly.

And it was supposed to be yellow, but we experimented with blue food colouring and we got green.

And it was supposed to be a sponge cake, but it ended up like gooey kueh.

And there were many other 'supposes', but i suppose that's what you get when you don't read instructions.

2008-12-09T05:29:00.001-08:00

i realise now that my posts are quite frequent. woots. i shall include some pics today!

ok anw yesterday being a public holiday, my family had lunch at our house and my mum cooked a swedish/italian meal.

its swedish because of the meatballs.

and italian because of the pasta. Delizioso!

then!! we went to the ulu ulu choa chu kang there to visit some pottery place. er haha yea. and

then we went to the resort over there, but i dunno what its called. aiya but everyone heard of it before la.
and if you had your chalet there, it would be quite boring cos you can only wander around in the resort, unless you absolutely love mud and grass la.

people lost in a vast vase world!

my uncle locked us in this giant cage thingy for chickens or something. there's me trying to kick the door down, and my cousin being extremely frightened, supposedly. haha.

Thats one big fish!

drinking my ice cream between the Heinz Towers. this is not advertisement. i think melted icecream is damn nice!

heehee, and today in hiphop class someone in the class fell down because her knee suddenly cracked or popped or dunno what while we were also popping. then paramedic and ambulance come leh!! and while waiting, everyone keep sayin they hope the paramedic is a cute guy, then later the paramedic that came was really a guy! but i dunno if can say cute anot. haha.

anyway i suspect is maybe her knee pop out of her socket.

thats happened to me many times before when i turn in awkward angles without moving my feet. in fact yesterday got happen too, but then my knee will always pop back de. hope shes okay!

2008-12-05T22:17:00.000-08:00

many things have happened since the last post, but i may or may not type about it.

okay, maybe i will. HA!

i went to my cousin's house to stay with all my other cousins last week, and we had a blaaaaaaaaaaast.
we tried our hand at baking, but my batch of cookies turned out to be muffins because we added too much baking powder thanks to my cousin's clever calculations that we should add everything in fourfold if we want to have four times the cookies. anyway anyway, it was really tasty. especially the ones which were half-baked. really.

and we all laughed so loud in the playground downstairs that my uncle said he could distinctly hear us seven storeys up. hoho.

then this week i had the first ever hip-hop dance lesson in my life, with minhui too! the class was literally a-laugh-a-minute. i obviously really suck at dancing, but fortunately not everyone is very good either. hehe. except an amazing young teacher called "Nisa", my nickname too!! some people just have that natural groove in them, why!?!

haha then on wed, went kboxing plus gunshooting plus a lil shopping plus moviewatching with niantee yiying rebecca samantha and ivan! go see their updates la. haha.

thursday was badminton day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with me yiying minhui jingwen welson wenzhen melvic hanping joshua and bobby. ya alot of people! but i still managed to find a table of ten to house everyone during lunch! cos lucky i ran to the aunty cleaning the big table before anyone else got there. i think i played much better this week cos mayb i drank too much water during the breaks last week, or maybe i'm just thinking of an excuse.

i also think the mushrooms badminton skills have improved by leaps and bounds! especially evil mushroom. and teamwork between ninja and shuai-ge has also improved! NEHEHEHHE.

then i had to leave earlier cos had to catch carine's guitar ensemble concert which was very nice. music and all. carine sang nice!! and the guitar solos were heartwarming too. (not the rock kind la) and there was one little girl who had the voice of an angel. her control was damn good even though she is so young and not airy at all. i cannot believe it. what will happen when she grows up man. i dare not think about it.

but i didnt enjoy the journey to and fro acjc because from yck must take to jurong east. very far away!! and then must change train, then i changed wrong side. then must walk up and down escalator then people in mrts always stare around at each other weirdly. haha.

what a colourful week!

2008-11-25T00:28:00.000-08:00

once upon yesterday,
i went out with my primary school buddies to kallang/orchard/huiying house! hehe.

firstly we went to eat at plaza sing. at yoshinoya! then cannot finish the food cos they give so much rice. and then we saw our old primary school classmate joshua while we were there, and first he walk one way and wave, then walk back the other way and wave again. haha.

then we bus-ed to kallang we planned to go iceskating, but too many people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (especially small kids, so its also very dangerous)

so we went to watch the " beverly hills chihuahua " its dumb and everyone should go watch it.

while waiting for the movie to start, we played some "throw balls at the screen and earn points" game!! it was very fun and we got second in the highscores. :D

and before that we went to the toilet, and huiying, being a extremely violent person, broke the toilet lock of the cubicle i was doing my business in! it literally flew at me! but luckily the door didnt fly open. haha. anyway, by that time i was already pulling up my pants.

after that we simply walked to orchard with the intention to play nintendo wii, but the counter guy was behaving very very retardedly and talking to us like we were babies. he spoke real slow and i know it was deliberate cos he talked to his colleague normally. crazy la! i was honestly freaked out on the inside but i tried to act like an adult, speaking rationally and giving a serious look.

at the supermarket, april and i were behaving like fools cos we keep pushing each other to the exit or dustbin or into huiying. hahahas.
then i unexpectedly went to hy house and helped she and her bro set up the "new" hamster cage and clean the old one which was full of shit.

so that concludes my day yesterday. and the moral of the story is, life does not always go to plan, but embrace it with open arms and you will find that it is often better than what you could have imagined, though in this case it ended in shit.

rewinding to sunday, cell group celebrated delphne's and my birthday, making us do stupid stuff! hahahas.

then at home, my grandma told me about how she would like her ashes to be thrown into the ocean when she dies. and then i cried and told her i didnt like to hear her say that, and then she just laughed and said she was joking with me, and i cried somemore until i couldnt breathe, and then i said that i dont want her to die.and i know eventually when she goes, she will have gone on to a better place but i pray that day will never come. and i also know thats selfish thinking,
and then we started talking about normal things again but my eyes hurt for the rest of the night.

and i sound abit childish i think.

2008-11-20T04:40:00.000-08:00

yea prom was fun. and then today went to play badminton and eat stuff. so happy! i love tigger and banana. and cant wait for next week too. and atonement read until page 35 cos i keep reading from the start, about 5 times liao.

and went back visit choir and i miss all of them. and wanted to go their concert but no more tickets. and i need to buy paint.

2008-11-14T23:26:00.000-08:00

woohoo!
went shopping after the last paper, haha went my house first and manisha borrowed a dress which looks very nice on her.
shopping was fun and we accomplished alot! saw many others at far east, where else.
hahah.

and then friday went out with tution group, i thought there would be more girls but in the end only jiawen and i. we went to play pool, and we weren't that bad. :D and bla bla. on the way, patrick's slipper broke so he had to drag his slipper along like a lame dude/ walk barefoot on orchard road/ got carried by hansheng along orchard road too. hahas.

then we went rgs to support violet in her play. which was awesome! and very funni. hahas. her performance as a lecherous boy was super good. and we did so much walking that i have balahkus on my feet. dunno how to spell balahku leh.

then now i'm at home. have headache, but after i bathe it will be gone. and maybe later go look for a tv console. the one at home is a built in so got thousands of ants underneath.
i remember when i was younger, my maid, sister and i always put wangwang on the floor just beside the tv console to lure the ants all out. so when they come out we will spray them like xiao and kill them all!!

btw you may win this cool guitar if you watch spongebob on nickelodeon from 17 nov onwards!!!!!!!!!

but i dont have nickelodeon!!!!!! arghhh.

2008-11-11T20:26:00.000-08:00

isn't that how we all feel sometimes..
anyway i'm hungry!

YAY!! for tomorrow.

2008-09-04T01:28:00.000-07:00

strapped the cam to my hamster. this what i got.

okok i gotta fess up, no actual animals were used in the filming of this video, unless you count me in. my knees sure hurt after skidding around on the floor. and just so you know, the foot featured in the video was my grandma's, credits to her too!
anyway, my dear ol hamsters died like two years ago so let this be a tribute to them. rest in peace. amen. weeps.

2008-07-21T06:26:00.000-07:00

The Dark Knight is spectacular. it was totally riveting, made me think.

Heath Ledger is really such a pain for me to watch. to see his last work on the big screen. wow. amazing. and heartbreaking.

anyway it beats me how they are ever gonna come up with a better villian. before i launch into a full-fledged appraisal of the movie, i'll sttopp.

ok. racial harmony day. nothing more than an excuse for us to wear something other than our uniforms. but it was fun.

2008-07-18T22:21:00.001-07:00

chunling and i were talking about how our moods change as the week progresses. this is the graph i drew. hahas. intepret it yourself.

moody graph (subject to change)

AND a blink of an eye and the week is gone. and everyone rants on about the exams being just a few weeks away. reality just smashed me today, oww, how how how?

in love with this song. i've been singing it the whole day, and listening to it for the thousandth time. Regina Spektor's voice is amazing, the song is amazing, the lyrics are amazing, everything amazing.

It started out as a feeling

Which then grew into a hope

Which then turned into a quiet thought

Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder

'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back

When you call me

No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing

Doesn't mean it's never been this way before

All you can do is try to know who your friends are

As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon

And follow the light

You'll come back when it's over

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over

No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning

It's just a feeling and no one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too

Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say goodbye

2008-07-08T07:19:00.000-07:00

The past few days have been eventful, but firstly, school today was definitely fun. tuesdays are really awesome. pe pe pe pe pe pe pe pe! hehe i keep standing in the defender's position so they can't defend our captain!

I'm so glad mrs wallace isn't here, and actually comprehensions aren't that tough anyway so i dont mind. YAY.

went to the ndp preview on saturday. it was most exciting to find out what was in the fun pack! who doesn't love free stuff? or rather which singaporean? but mostly useless. the crowd was fairly enthusiastic at first but after a while, we didn't even respond to the hosts. their attempts to hoorah the crowd failed miserably.

still, it was heartening to see all 27000 of us stand up to sing the national anthem and wave our lil flags together. though i'm sure more than half of the audience were mouthing the nat anthem.

oh yea, and since it was a mock demonstration, only the fake lee hsien loong and sr nathan came. lee hsien loong was like 50 years younger and sr nathan lost a 100 pounds or something. everyone in the stadium was laughing. including me. heh.

And the boys beside us just threw their rubbish like that. it's not just them. can you imagine what the poor cleaner has to do? or maybe we use robots to clean up right.
got like thousands more pics, but whatever.

i've been having hiccups for the two hours. i like.
woohoo!

2008-07-04T08:18:00.000-07:00

waited one hour for the bus today. however time seemed to fly by because i was super-stoning. while the woman beside me kept making faces and fidgeting, being so fed up. after one hour, someone told us we would have to wait for another half hour cos the bus broke down.

most people walked home. i was laughing to myself cos we were like a flock of birds migrating. and everyone looked so black-faced.
while walking, i seemed to be silently competing with two boys, to see who was faster. for the first two bus stops, we kept overtaking each other. in the end the st. grabrielle's boy won by a small margin, i came in second, and the little boy lost terribly. he was already too far to be seen when i turned around. muahaha.

upon reaching my house's bus stop. the bus came tootling behind, as if to mock me and my weary feet.

if i could be an ant for one day, i will go alone to forage for food. this way, humans will less likely kill me if they see me, and allow me to escape with my delights.
after all, one would freak out and mass exterminate most probably only if they see me and a whole bunch of friends invading the peanut butter. yes.

i'll live in the kitchen where the humans hardly cook, so that i shan't have to worry about flames suddenly engulfing me if i were to be treading across the stove.

peanut butter would be my breakfast, lunch and dinner. maybe some fruits for dessert. i want to be a healthy ant. All this, IF i were actually an ant. however i am not an ant, but a human.

so. i am getting nowhere.

gotta go do homework now, how wonderful. i'll pollute the web with my insignificant thoughts next time.
