2009's coming to an end, and i shall do my reflection post now.

so many things have happened in 2009. God has been really great to me this year. he's just been awesome, watching over me lots. and so i'll just dedicate this post to him (:

so let me come up with a list of what i did in 2009:

2) i ran 16km in 1h 40mins
3) made change to friends lives
4) cam whored for the first time
5) survived sec 2 life
6) got into triple science
7) did not get attached, i'm serious. to the guys who think its immpossible, it is. so what if i know alot of girls
8) sent 3000 over messages in a month
9) passed chinese!
10) and of course, grown closer to God (:

2009 has just been an amazing year. with class 2a, it'd been great. it made me realise, that i shouldnt try to make friends, they'll make themselves.

as the songs of the academy is.. play, i've just been wondering, how did i get the person i am. well, its just by the grace of God, that i'm like that (:

so now with an injured arm, i cant really do much exercise, and perhaps its time to take a break.i injured it while playing soccer, when this pravier fell on me while trying to tackle him heh.

what else has 2009 done to me hmm.. i made new friends! closer relationships. its been great. during all those church camps, where i got to pray for lots of people to renew their commitment with God. it has just been amazing.

ohmygoodness jarrod said the lamest thing ever. i was like ' i'm doing my reflection post ' then he's like ' so you can see yourself in the post? '

with a click on facebook, my whole computer lags.

wow, thanks guys. like really. thanks lots for all the wishes. i had a wish come true this birthday, like people just singing a song for me, even though i dont know them that well. but the feeling was amazing, and i haven't smiled like that in years (: i'm sure mummy and daddy were really happy to see me like that haha

SO CHINA. hmmm, well.

for starters, the food really sucked. it was all so oily and salty! well, i guess thats because we're not used to it yet, so i guess its cool with the chinese eating that

hmmm, i went to six places, so i'll just talk about what i did there!

so first stop, was this place called dalian!

the lian is the number 2 sound so its not big face okay!

haha so what did i do at da lian hmmm, well i dont know. but the SNOOOOWWWW. haha i was so happy there was the snow there. but out of the 5 places i went, thisplace was supposed to be like the warmest, but it was so cold. the wind was horrendous. i dont mind low temperatures, but the wind's a killer D:

people who have been to winter countries understand what i mean haha. so yeap, wind was a killer.

oh yes did i mention, i spent 5 hours waiting for the other people in my tour group. their flight was like delayed for so long, stupid snow heh. bad timing, it was kinda horrible staying there, but fun i guess! i dont have the pictures, its all with daddy and joanne heh. man i cant remember what i did at dalian. nvm! next location :D

with about 6 hours on a bus, half a day's wasted. i think half the trip was wasted on travelling heh.

so next place! SHENYANG.

haha i thought the tour guide was really cool. the way she told us stories about the place was really awesome. like we went to this prison, where the POWs during WWII was hosted. it was really sad too, like thinking of it's kinda sad. so many people died, living it so harsh conditions. sigh.

oh well! haha i had a snow fight with joanne and joshann during then too! it was, kinda bad. cos when the snow goes into your shirt, it melts and then, you freeze D: HAHA. oh if you wanna know how snow's like? well. its frozen ice, being smashed up. soft and stuff like that. thats snow, really.

again, the food kinda sucked. it sucked all the way, i think!

so next location, JILIN!

nothing much there haha.like we were supposed to visit some temple sort of place, but it was really really cold. so it was kinda boring.

the skies were dark too. so yeah, cold place. in every place we were brought to places that sold ginseng, and stuff like that. i think that china people are, like really persistent. they'll try their best to make you buy their stuff, i guess its because of the commission, and one more thing - their pay's really low. its all cheap labour, so they're like sort of trying to make more money

its kinda sad i guess. oh well, that's china for them.

so hmmm, next place! CHANGCHUN.

oh wait i think it was changchun on second destination, or was it third? haha odnt know! well dont care :D

i think i skiied there, it was really really fun :D and i got to drive this buggy there haha. so thats how driving feels like. i was gonna do a 360 turn, but i decided to be nice to joanne, but you know what happened instead? she did a 360 turn to me instead. haha i think she's crazy. oh well!

so what else, oh huskies were made to pull us, i thought, that was kinda bad. sigh, dont know heh.

facebook's taking forever to load. facebook officially hates me.

i wanna like really thank the 90 over people personally wished my a happy birthday. its so much better like that. on the other hand, my facebook's taking forever to load.

so second last stop, harbin!

haha it was the best place, an icy world full of goodness. haha the ice sculptures were quite nice. its just amazing how they do it.

hmmm, i went to this sort of disney ice world thingy place, all ice sculptures and stuff haha.

i'm lazy to think D:

so next stop, beijing!

oh yes did i mention, on christmas i fell sick. was down with a flu, and had a cough. how great's that.

and on my birthday i climbed the great wall of china :D

oh you know something, when i woke up on up birthday do oyu know what my sister did to wish me? she took my hands and started to slap me and was like ' HAPPY BIRTHDAY '

and more slapping. what a way to wish me eh?

well, beijing food was kinda better i guess. oh i got this hoodie, so when you zip up all the way till it covers your face, its a monkey! those who're going to the watchnight service can see it :D

so this china. well, one thing's for sure, now winter countries for me. only autumn. winter's like so so cold. but the snow's great :D

alright, so thats my china for me! WATCHNIGHT SERVICE YAY.

i think i'm going crazy.

i've been watching too much drama these few days. first its cinderella man, but i stopped at episode 7 cos mysoju doesnt like me.

but boys over flowers is actually quite nice. oh wait, why do they put the drama as boys before flowers in mysoju? hmmm. does anyone know?

hey world

its just yet another day, of doing nothing.

i think my blog's gonna be dead soon. got to start posting more, a short post per day would do.

hmmm, life's going quite alright so far. went for a run today, a tiring 5.5km with lots of uphill and downhills, and the slope was so steep, in 30 mins. i would say that its kinda slow. cos i should be able to run faster. well, i guess its because of the many 2km runs i've been having my body's not used to it anymore.

think i'm gonna try run 10km, oh wait. its like a 12km run. i run to newton, then from newton run to King Albert Park. i'm so gonna die. hmmm, to run or not to run. i guess i'm gonna run it on wednesday, before the flight on thursday midnight.

oh did i mention, i'm going to china. leaving this coming thursday midnight. so let me try to remember the places that i'm going to. hmmm, first there's shen zhou i think, then there's da lian, then there's _____, then there's harbin, and lastly beijing!

i'd be away from the 18th to the 28th, so that means birthday and christmas would be spent there!

OH NO I'M TURNING FOURTEEN. you know what that means? i'm becoming older D: but its okay! 14 aint that old yet. but its really awesome, to know that its gonna be my birthday soon (:

CHRISTMAS. YAY CHRISTMAS! haha christmas is the most amazing time of the year.its gonna be so awesome. i was gonna buy like lots of people presents but, due to unforeseen circumstances, i couldnt get you guys your presents. nevertheless! its okay, cos next year's gonna be a blast.

FOURTEEN. i cant wait to be fifteen. its just so amazing haha. i cant wait to laugh at you oldies when you turn fifteen next year and i'm still fourteen (:

alex just asked me to analyse his piece of work. i must say that his poem, is one brilliant piece of poetry. its direct, but it sets the mind thinking.

alright, so i guess that'll do for today (:

here's a little something.

surely it's not happening.

the emo me's coming back. i've got to shun it.

it just seems that i'm much more vunerable now. i've been shedding more tears. i've been sad more often. and i'm not smiling as much as before.

why.

that question just keeps on coming. as the song of michael buble plays, i'm just thinking. why did i become like this.

maybe, its just mood swings. maybe its just like some andropause, and then it'd go away soon after. thats what i really hope that'd happen. shun the emoness!

haha cinderella man just seems so cool (: its an awesome show! go watch! really, trust me. its an awesome show. for the girls, yes. i'm watching a drama. so? what's so bad about guys watching dramas. its like girls reading manga.

michael buble seems really awesome. his music's actually quite nice, haha i'll go and showcase a song at the end of this post.

the sky's really beautiful today. it seems a good day for a run. i think i'll just let my body rest. on monday i'll start exercising again. i've been really tired these few days.

i just wished i could go out, i realised that i haven't been spending enough time with friends, and mummy insists that i've been going out too much. no logic.

well i just wanna spend time with church friends. thats just what i wanna do.

pokemon seems so addictive. haha!



enjoy :D

here i am, praising God for his goodness.

havent posted for a long time. so now, i commemorate my 414th post.

too many things have happened since i stopped posting. i've got to start posting more.

i'll just go on with the main highlights!

ONE.

church camp!

oh how awesome was that time. it was really tiring though.

camp, was just a truly amazing experience that i cant describe. even though many things happened during camp, with all that spiritual warfare and stuff, still there were many breakthroughs. i felt it, and it happened. amen to that!

the games were like really really cool. like with our awesome log skills, we managed to get some game going for the games com okay! SO GAMES COM PEOPLE BE GRATEFUL.

there's, just too many things going through my mind now.

i'm just, so grateful towards God. he's, just so amazing. he's just the God who saves. he managed to make me break down finally on the last day. indeed, he is God. He is amazing. he lives, and he loves me and i love him.

camp, was just such an amazing time with God. i was really praying with Chris for like lots of people. and until now, my spirit's still so tired. i better get an early night haha

so yeap! after camp was like really spending time with uncle, aunt, wengwai and wengyan! it was really fun playing with them, talking with them, going out with them and most importantly, the shopping!

i got 2 tops from topman, some crocodile pants and some pants from hangten. but hangten pants are really good.

i feel that stores like giordano, bossini, and hang ten are really losing out now. with they're uhm, not too nice designs not alot of people actually buy their things. i'm sure their sales figures are really going down right now. so what can they do, if the people doesnt like it?

well, my train of thoughts come to an end here, for now. i'll try my best to post tomorrow okay!
