Closeness……. Valued.

Dear dears,
Your unglamorous photos are safe with me. =DD

With love,
clarie

The Grace and the Peace that I so needed…

iT’S been a real hectic week at work and i found myself giving in to despair and miserable-ness( if there’s such a word).
Maybe its the work, maybe its me(REALLY).

bUT the Lord has given me good colleagues, good Assoc Dean, who shows me so much leniency.
Colleagues are always ready to render me help, whether its rushing aginst time in the printing and editing of posters, aligning dinner nameplates(i really did that to the point of miserable-ness(and then it wasn’t so hard afterall)), last-minutes meeting nameplates prep(they were all busy but all helped me!), lending me the comp(when mine hung), helping me collect stuff(when I’m off to collect sth else), encouraging me with just a smile and helping me know all my trials/suprise situations are a learning experience, not putting any blame on me in any way, helping me find stuff after office hours, and even a colleague waiting for me when i had to attend a meeting which ended past the working time! (Mandy waited 2 hours past the off-work time!)

SO touched.
Have I been giving myself selflessly just like how others have been for me?
FOOD FOR MY THOUGHT.

fEELING like i didn’t know how to continue, appraisal’s coming, deadlines to meet. How was I going to make everything become better??

qUESTIONS qns qns.

wORRY filled me even as i told the Lord everything I was going thru.

bUT the LORD is GOOD.
He made me feel better the very next day, put my things back on track.
Given me a path and plan I can work on.

aND FAMILY.
So supportive. Daddy/mummy always waking up in the early hours when Im up, making breakfast, driving down to Kovan as I took the bus(as bus would be faster cos driving needs a long time to u-turn to go to kovan) to make sure i caught my bus, asking me if I had worked late that day and fetching me home alll the way from NTU!

tHE most important, He filled me with His peace,
and let my heart be strengthened by His grace.

oNLY the Lord my God is able to do that.

aLSO, office politice is something that i DO NOT want to get myself into.
NEED GOD’S WISDOM.

i AM BLESSED,
because the Lord blessed me,
with this job and everything in it. :)

iT’S the weekend,
have rangers,
have work to do by Monday,
have my own things at home that I’ve neglected for far too long,
have people I wannna meet and spend time with,
and i know a GOOD WEEK ahead. :)

A little post after Another long time!

I think I should change my blog address to

forever.random.wordpress.com

-_-!

Especially after I was early for my bus this morning! Late NO MORE.
Haha okie although Im saying this too early but I hope I’ll be on time everyday. :)

Today’s my first day at work after such a long time.
Although my office is very far, practically at Pioneer, I’m happy to be there cos I know God blessed me with this job.
Colleagues there are nice, especially this lady who sits behind me.
She helps me with any enquiries, chats with me when she’s free and when the time was pressing 5.40 pm and I was still not done with what I had to do, she rushed and helped me so we were able to run and catch the bus home.
I’m really grateful for angels like her.
Furthermore, she knew I’m a Christian and told me she’s Christian too. :))

I almost puked on the bus today, I really almost did.
Thank God, really, I didnt.
Not the best thing to do first day of work, first time in his(the driver’s) bus.

Work today wasnt heavy.
In fact, I feel like I underperformed.
So, tomorrow, IM GONNA DO BETTER! :)

Its Elin’s first day of work today too and I think workload was really heavy for her.
I hope that they can be spread over the days to complete, its really quite alot!
Jiayou okie baby, we’ll work hard tgt! :)

Im happy that my family and friends are really supportive of me, I don’t wanna let them down.
Thanks for your boosters, your care and your joy for me. :))
Even Grandma, yes, I brought your bottle! :DD

To everyone else, continue to strive hard for what you really want and lets make success our destination!
:)

Meet soon, my lovelies! :))
God Bless <3

a little rest at last. I hope it lasts!

 

If you know me, finally the word “music” will not be hanging on my lips and dwelling on my mind everyday.
It’s time for a break, really!

I did put in effort, and try to hit the electone keys everyday, even if its for a while.
I’ll feel less guilty.
But I’m not sure if what I’ve done was enough.

 Today sure made me feel like i messed up an opportunity blessed by God.
Things were made easy for me, but I didn’t make full use of what I was given.

But nonetheless, its really a time for me to do something else other than music. 

Speaking of which, its been ages since i blogged!
And each time i return, I never fail to blog random posts, making no meaning whatsoever to my already dying blog.
(I wonder if this time is any different. Heh)

Ok lah, i shall just post up a few pictures then! :))

 In august, I went to Viet with my family for 5 days!
The city, Ho Chi Minh, was a little boring so we made our way up to Dalat, where it was cold, always raining, but cosy knowing we’re away from the bustling city life.
I have to say that our hotel (Blue Moon) is BEAUTIFUL!
I think the ambience and quality of service and cleanliness there rocks.
(as compared to umm the hotels/motels in the city)

Although this picture doesn’t contribute to anything that I described about the hotel, I still want to post it up!
Cos I still remember the coldness of the aircon and the joy of waking up in that hotel, smelling the hotel scent.

It really did feel nice. :))

Part of the hotel!

And what a world up there in Dalat!
They have man-made gardens like Dreaming Hill and the Valley of Love..

Their air, cool and tingling :))

Their pine trees fill the mountains.
That’s also one thing I admire about Dalat.
It gives me a feeling of forever Christmas/winter.
Though its not signified by Christmas presents or church celebrations there.

And they have pretty flowers that looks like…..

BUTTERFLIES! =D

Sis and I got to ride a horse! :))

Do I look like a zebra on the horse? ;D

right? :D

And they have beautiful lakes too!
All over Dalat!

Viet was influenced by the French during their stay there, thus they have the trademark of the seemingly unstructured look of houses built above and over each other on uneven land.
(i suppose)

We got to see the waterfall too!
They provide various activities like abseiling, rollercoaster, canoeing and more :))

And as if I have not said enough about the cool air there, there’s always a wind in your hair, running over your face :)

Mummy’s biggest dream : Waterfall! :D

To be specific,

NEXT to the waterfall itself!!
She really was happy :)))

I DID NOT PHOTOSHOP US IN!
(I dunno how to photoshop anyway hahahahah)

daddy’s head looks HUGE.
hehehe

And can you see mummy’s happiness? :))

:)

Haha this is disgusting!!

Mummy is drinking the water that Sis vomitted!
=x

On Dalat, we also got to eat beef noodles where the noodles are extremely tasty cos its not starchy,
drink SOLID Avocado shake and delicious pineapple juice,

visit their market,

(these are made out of flowers! On first sight i thought these were lollipops!)

(believe me, the market is actually pretty huge with stalls and peddlers. They have stalls selling sweets, dried beef, wine, clothes and more all at ONE stall!)

eat delicious Western/Italian/French food,

(Garfield’s Fav!)

have buffet around a campfire,

with yummy pumpkin soup (i never thought i would ever say that!!)

and see sunrise by the lake!! :)))

So beautiful, really! :))

Thanks mum n dad for bringing us to Dalat and making all these possible!

It was definitely worth the 8 hours up! :)))))

 

And finally, a little rest now! :)

 

 

POST-28MAY2009 :)

Some stuff  i’ve been up to since then! :)
Besides the immense amount of time i’ve been slacking, that is.
lalala

so please bear with my wordy post n try to

IMAGINE…..
:)

29 MAY 09
FRIDAY

I finally hit the gym.
My two lovelies were so lovely,
they put up with my lateness once again!
I ran to the gym from my house so before we started i was tired alr.
=/
Talk about being fit.
I think we spent more time taking leisure walks in the gym
than actually working out.
HAHA.
No lah, but besides the run/cycling+”the rowing/pulling thing”,
we were amusing each other with all kinds of workout we know
n spent more time competing who can stand up from lying position without using our hands
and all kinds of un-gym-ly behaviour. :D

(alot of weird stares from hunky men training their biceps n triceps)

I think the most embarrasing workout we had to do for the day was
CHAIR-VIN-SAYA
(HAHA DID I FINALLY GET THE NAME RIGHT!!) :D
which was introduced by………
ELIN WONG!
VERY EMBARRASSING.
Wait til i have the photos to show it. HEHEH

And the most difficult has gotta be the one introduced by WANG JIAMIN!!
lying on your back with your legs a little off the ground
keeping it straight
and kicking up and down!!
(HAha did i get it right!?)
it was so difficult!!

And i got a cramp doing one of my own routine.
=X

haha at least we exercised our stomach muscles with the laughing :)
so i suppose it was pretty fruitful!

We said we’ll do it regularly but its been…. more than 2 weeks since then?
HAHA! :D

Result: Aching legs n arms,
stomach (TERRIBLY!!)
and a desire to stay away from gym for a little while.

i spent the rest of the afternoon watchin LeeHom n then saturation n then supper. :)
*xiaolongbao rocks :)

IT IS A GET FAT OR DIE TRYING DAY!!

haha okie.
SEOUL GARDEN DAY!! :D

Seoul Garden always seems to be a post exam custom for us,
or when elin cant resist.
But im not going anywhere near there during sept!
Call me superstitious or whatever you like.

SUPER HOT.
Jiamin, you’re not even lookin at wherever you’re pointing!

And we shall betray you and take a nice photo:D

Muahahah.:D

Besides the usuals,
a new ingredient caught our attention that day!
Beansprouts!!
We were actually mocking Jiamin when he tried to cook it on the bbq pan
but we ended up conjuring up beansprout designed dishes as well!

Elin: you can tell she has absolutely no idea how to cook them.
HAHA
Her ingredients:

What she used/How she cooked:
OKAYY…..

The Result:

I shall not comment further.
(And you dare say my bento elin!!!)

Jiamin’s concoction is slightly more decent,
he used bbq meat..
But the beansprouts are hidden into the darkness forever…

And look at mine!
a masterpiece with an array of
beansprouts, tofu and prawn! :D
I win!! :D

And until now i have no idea why we had to do that.

RAW!! =?

That day my appetite was pretty huge i have no idea why!!
And i know where exactly are those creamy spaghetti and icecream going.
Wah very yummy!! :DD

If i’m not wrong, this is supposed to be a group pic.

HAHA.

There you go. :)

Jiamin shall not be the only big face here.

til next time,

MONDAY

BENTO DAY! :DDD

Met baby in the early afternoon to buy ingredients after
she went to shop for MORE bento stuff from DAISO!!! =O

We were gonna make sushi/japanese bento while her sis was making kaya bread bento.
Haha not bad lah her attempt! :D

A hard time opening the darn can.

Im sure there’s a SUPER easy way of doing it and i’ll be feeling so stupid if i ever find out.
Nevertheless, i still would want to know
and be a master of opening luncheon meat cans!! :D

We were super disorganised and fumbling all over the place
and everywhere was gettin messy,
the sushi roll turned out to be a chunk of rice with perhaps 10% (luncheon n crabmeat),
the rice uncooked(=sushi undone),
scallops unfried,
tamago unknown how to cook,
chicken uncut n unmarinated n uncooked,
fish fillet uncut n unmarinated n uncooked,
A TOTAL DIS-ORDER.
and the oil was nowhere to be found.

But!
With GOOD time management, we eventually got it done!! :)

Elin’s Good Luck Bento for Ah leong:

It really does taste as nice as it looks!
But you realise we totally lost our first intention.
A sushi bento.
HAHA!!

My bento!! :D

Dun laugh at me!
I was in a rush!
But its NOT that bad right!! :DD
Introducing 2 very cute tofu which is chipped off,
sushi man having a fever thus have a towel on his forehead,
with luncheon eyes n seaweed smile:)
(it has luncheon n crabmeat in it!
I learnt it from garvin, i still rem!!)
a very fu yan piece of lettuce which are leftovers,
a desperate attempt to make the normal crabmeat sushi,
delicious butter-fried tamago n scallops! :D

I was runnin late!
Meetin Jas for Pizzahut “sponsered” dinner! :))
Sorry again jas!
Harbourfront Pizzahut, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE!!! =O

Met Elin to watch 5 DVDS
(okie lah only… ONE)
n play with Abby–艾贝儿!!

She cut her hair, so she’s super neat now!! :)
Little rascal still though!
Growl growl growl..

She’s really very cute!
Playin Fetch n making her stand on 2 feet
stroking her n watchin her get sleepy
everything about her is CUTE!!! :))

We decided to bring her down for a walk,
and i think most of the time she’s walking us,
not the other way round as it should be!

I think we chalked up a distance of 2.4 KM.
HAHA!! :D

Cutie Abby with pink harness and leash:)
And she is definitely one massive KIDS MAGNET! :D

And after a while, the babies decided not to pat the dog.
They thought it was more fun to poke my thighs.
And giggled. :)
Okie thats cute too. :))
Baby was busy snappin away her “artistic” shots. HAHA

Abby good girl, she’s very 乖, she didnt bark at the babies and even kept very still! :D

She doesnt want Abby to leave!

Haha i think we’re more tired after the walk than the dog.
And oh yah Abby peed on the walkway lah!
And an ah pek just walked on it barefooted!
Im almost sure he DID step on it! =O

Afterwards,
clean Abby
dirty Us.

Jump thru fire rings okie baby!
:DD

***********************

or rather its early in the morning.
Unhealthy day for me YET AGAIN!! :(

Meetin fang for the vampire (pls let it not be scary!!)
and walkin with sis n look for pressies.
And may meet Jiamin too! :)
(PRESENT TIME HAHAHA!!)
okie okie must be discreet.
:DD

And need to pack for thurs camp.
I need time, need to physically, mentally n spiritually prep for the camp too!

Whirlwind schedule doesnt last that long.
After next week i’ll be slacking again!—

:DD

Say GOODBYE to “sms full, please delete some sms”!!!

Or as jas calls it: “One-msg-left-in-my-inbox”.wordpress.com!
:D

Yayy everybody,
i hereby announce:

CLAR HAS NO MORE REASON TO NOT RECEIVE YOUR SMS DUE TO THE OVERLOAD OF HER INBOX!!!

and i can foresee this is not necessarily a good thing.
I have no more excuses to be delayed(always being late) or replying slowly!
=O
sighs.

but on a happier note, i do have a new sexy & slim candybar phone!
*wheeets!

After being an m1 user for DONKEY years,
(a good long 7 years!!),
they finally offered me a $100 voucher off a new handset to stay with them!
I had wanted to wait for a good offer but the voucher was expiring on 7june. :x

So to fit in everyone’s plans that day,
i had to wake up early this mornin to prac music,
picking Grandma tgt for church at 9plus,
church,
Roundup camp meeting,
lunch,
speed to Compass to get the phone,
sis working at 4 at CP,
music lesson at 4plus,
dad’s badminton at 5plus
and mummy going to grandma’s house.
(im startin to feel tired lookin at this list.)

Anw we reached CP at 2plus,and takin a number only at 3,
dad and i waited for a good one hour plus and
IT STILL WASN’T OUR TURN YET!!! >_<

Everytime the beep sounded for a new customer to be served,
we turned our heads with a glimmer of  hope,
wishing our number appeared on the screen.
But alas, i didn’t even get to see my number!!
We saw some interesting customers though, and some taking far too long,
asking far too many unnecessary questions!!

Left with no choice,
cos my music teacher was gonna reach at 5,
mummy gma and i headed back first while daddy stayed to get the phone for me.
Even at the expense of maybe missing his game!!
:)))
And cos the phone i chose was $198,
he had to top up $98
and he didn’t let me pay him back..
;)))
feel bad, if i chose the $98 phone, he wouldn’t have to pay!
=/

But thank you daddy, i appreciate you so much!!
:D

I was choosing between Samsung Preston ($98)
&
Sony Ericsson C510 ($198)
and i had to weigh factors like cost, memory, outlook and all
and with my lightning-flash speed of making decisions,
i decided to get C510!!
(okie lah dad was psycho-ing me too=x)
It has:
Bigger memory(jus what i need) in the phone,
3.2 megapix,
face detector and what-not,
1 GB memorycard,
and its SLIM&SEXY!
AND its pretty prettyy.
;DD

Maybe it was also cos earlier on we witnessed 2 aunties getting the Preston.
HAHA

From the m1 website:

this beauty shall live with me for the next 2 years at least!
:)

Now that i have a new phone,
i actually think my samsung’s not that bad.Haha
I have to get used to using something new now.
:(

Music starts again for me,
i hope i’ll be disciplined to practise very often..
I hope i can make it this time round!

And before it gets too late,
i have a mountain of outdated stuff to blog about.
Which im still pondering whether or not to embark on that journey.
Haha post-exam too, and some other events coming up!

The question is:
Organ or computer???

;)

 

Today marks my day of Freedom!!!

Its FINALLY the end of exams!
FOR THREE YEARS!
How many times have i thought to myself while taking the paper in the exam hall..
In 4 more papers, thats the end..
In another week, i’ll be having my second last paper..
In 3 hours, i’ll be FREE!!!
:D
It never fails to excite me, then jerk me back to concentrate on my never-ending paper..
And the speed i do my exams, i think i’ve never been able to complete any exam paper!
So when they announced an extra 15 mins today, my heart heaved a sigh of relief and my paced slowed down once more..
While elin n jiamin heaved a sigh of disappointment.
They just wanted it to be over! HAHA!

Today we realized we’re the ONLY 3 students from MANAGEMENT taking that subj and its so funny lah!
I always thought its rare to take that subj, but i never thought we were SO RARE.
I wonder if we’re the ONLY MANAGEMENT students who ever took that subj ever in the whole of EOE history!
Our little mistake a year ago caused us to practically self-study for this subj!
Never forgetting to mention our useless lecturer and the only joy he ever gave us was for us to laugh at his accent!

LIKE:

Virjoy

lettuce

beartar too kept

air-lius

posituut

(and the list can go on and on)

Can you ever ever guess what he meant!!! =X

Anyway finally we have no more reason to study when we feel like doing a million other things,
forsaking our fav tv shows to read notes,
struggle to keep our eyes open when all we want is to sleep,
do a hundred million things to keep ourselves focused,
psycho-ing ourselves to do our best and give our best shot,
abstaining from food that MIGHT make us sick,
not resting when we ARE sick,
not indulging in psp and mobtv,
(OOPS ELIN YOU DIDNT!)
throwing tantrums at family members during this stressful period,
sketching and never doing the to-do list which gets longer and longer…
AND LONGER THE LIST GOES!

All i really hope now is that everything will hopefully go well,
we really dread the word that makes all this joy become smoke and mist.
I SO HOPE WE PASS EVERYTHING!!!
First class here we come!! :D
(HAHA obviously thats not happening since we only hope to pass)

F.I.S.H
was where we had our “celebratory” meal
and being pressured by the waitress who asks, “How’s the food?”
ever so often.
Jiamin you xian hai me ah!
Great. is not that great an answer loh!
And elin didnt manage to tell the waitress the food sucks.
Ah leong just cant be bothered.

Anyway when i reached home, mummy and daddy ask how my paper was.
And shortly after i realised sth terrible had happened to the car. :(
But daddy was still concerned about my paper, which warms my heart.
Had a pretty long talk with mummy too and she’s a woman of wisdom and love
and i appreciate the care and concern i have.

First and foremost really want to thank God.
He brought me through, He hears my prayers,
He comforts my heart, He knows my every worry.
And He always has a special way of dealing with me.
So many seemingly silly and small requests i put before him,
in worry or desperation.
And yet He takes them and never fails.

My family, they have given me utmost support.
Mummy, always asking me what i need,
always wanting to accompany me,
always cooking or making barley/green bean/chinchao/orange juice,
praying at my bed,
always telling me she wish she can do sth to make me happy
(cos i was always frowning and easily irritated),
and putting up with my bittergourd and black-as-thunder face and lousy attitude without any hint of  unhappiness
and many more!
Daddy, always msging to say all the best and that he’ll pray alongside,
troubling himself to do things,
asking me about the paper and listening to my disappointed reviews,
encouraging, fetching me to Changi Mac and the little details family will sacrifice for you..
Sis, she knows im busy but always spare some time to chat with me and msging me,
helping me with the pressie.
I know i havent been giving them much of my attention but i will now!
:)

Elin and Jiamin
3 years of fun and skipping lectures,
slogging last minute,
cracking jokes about everything in the world,
understanding and compromising each other,
all the msges to encourage each other to study hard and stay awake,
(im with you!! :))
panicking on the actual day of exam,
eating the same ole canteen food tgt,
psycho-ing each other to skip isorg,
(AND I WONDER WHO’S THAT!)
binge-ing SG and torturing each other with coffee meat,
and trying to come up with delicacies from cheapskate ingredients,
the two lovelies who stuck with me thru thick n thin
accompanying me for my POA,
and in one sentence,
making my SIM life happy and bonded by the suffering and friendship
that is precious til the end of time.

Jasie and Fang!
They are rooted in me even though we dont meet that often..
But that doesnt matter cos somehow they will always be there,
i feel their presence in me!
Msges, calls that encourage and adds sparkle to my life
and absolutely indispensible..
Thank you for wishing me and keeping me in mind too!!
And for spotchecking me, im always found guilty! *sheepish*

My aunt and Grandma!
They’re the sweetest!

And everyone else who has given me understanding and wishes thru this period..
I know you. :)

Haha i hope i wont have to give post exam thank-yous anymore!
But i will appreciate everyone of you who are so impt in my life even more!
Thank you for being in my life and making who i am today.
:)
Hearts you all FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.

The Top 8!

Adam is crazy,

Adam is hilarious,

Adam tears you apart .. *Mad World*

i wish he’s straight.

 

Danny is infectious, (PYT!! waving arms wildly)

Danny is true,

Danny can sing his soul out..

i wish he still has his wife with him.. :((

 

Kris is sweet,

Kris is endearing,

Kris can croon and Kris can make you smile.. :)))

i wish he’s MINE!!!

hahaha

BAH.

 

can someone tell me why am i doing this when my exam is in less than 3 weeks.

incorrigible.

how could he?

i dont understand how could he have done that.

how could he have borne the stripes for me?

how could he have been humiliated for me?

how could he have DIED for me?

just to take away my sins

he was blameless, he committed no sin

he loved and cared for the world

he loved and cared for ME

and today,

he DIED for me.

someone died for me today.

how could ANYONE do that?

he was human, he knew fear, he knew pain.

yet he was able to do that.

all because he loves me.

if i was there 2000 years ago, i would be in mourning today.

because someone whom i loved, and i respected, and loves me has given up his life for me, so that i could escape death.

he was betrayed, and yet he blamed no one.

he knew what he had to do.

it was his choice.

what a difficult road that must be for him.

to pray and plead with His Father.

it is so unimaginable, could he really have done it?

could it really have happened?

IT DID.

and his love is REAL, he loves every single one person on this earth.

and he died for every single one of us, so that we may be set free.

he is going to rise in 3 days and he has conquered death for all of us.

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON?

so many times we hear his name, yet we dont revere it enough.

we let it pass by us.

but if you know that this person, is so personal to each and every one of us, if we were living 2000 years ago, HOW MUCH we would love him, seeing him everyday, he is our God, and yet he suffered death for you and for me.

this name is not just any other name, not a name for us to reject, a name for us to think if we want to reject.

He is real, he is living, he is among us, and he bore the pain for us.

can we simply say no?

if our fren got hurt for us today, how guilty we would feel?

whats more GIVING UP HIS LIFE, when he did nothing wrong?

how much more tears we shall shed.

how much better should we live our lives?

did he die in vain?

we must remember how much he loves us.

and death has no power over us because God has given us the victory.

because he died and rose again.

to give us eternal life.

he’s right here in our lives, are we opening the door to him?

God is LOVE.

and he is JESUS.

i myself had a shock today.
i realised who Jesus really is, how he really lived.
He is there for me, He loves me so much, and how much have i loved Him in return?
How much have i done for Him?
The injuries and whippings on His body pained my heart and tore me to pieces.
How much have i valued my Lord Jesus?
I cannot express fully what i feel in my heart, i just had to let it out somewhere.
So much i feel inside, so much for me to ponder over.
But this is not telling me to be sad and downcast forever.
Because He has rose again! :D
He is alive!!
God raised Him up to be seated at His right hand, with Him in heaven.
How Great is our God, He is awesome and righteous, He is amazing and beyond what we can imagine.
Heavens and earth shall praise at His Holy name.
And angels will worship Him to eternity.
how much it means to me to just take a step back and look at who God really is, and what He is doing in my life.
so many times i have taken Him for granted, and just let the world eat me up.
Rejoice in the Lord today, because you are free and Satan has ABSOLUTELY NO HOLD on you!
Where your heart is, there your treasure will be.
Make God your treasure today! :D
