psychology revision

psychoanalysis:

dreams signify repressed memories and a psychoanalyst will analyze dreams and suggest its hidden meaning.

"oh my goodness i can't believe i'm studying this crap."
i think some of sigmund freud's ideas are just so full of crap. crap crap crap. like the oedipus complex where a little boy wants to have sex with his mother. YUCK.

rewind, start!

i slept so little the night before! i was talking to ching till 3 plus in the morning and only slept at 4ish. i laughed till i couldn't breathe when she kept insisting she was 60kg. hahahaha! i dont know why but it was just hilarious, the way she said it.

anyway, dong and i met up for 1samuel 19 just a bit ago.
i guess i feel really blessed to have a friend i can read and discuss such things with. it's like going on a journey together. this reminds me of daniel and his three good friends who seek God together with him in daniel chapter 2.

yupp this is good. lets keep this :)

makeover

create in me a clean heart
O God
and renew a right spirit within me

cast me not away from thy presence O Lord
take not thy Holy Spirit from me
restore unto me the joy of thy salvation
and renew a right spirit within me

mother mother mother.....

me: eh you don't want to talk to me already ah?
mummy: don't want
me: whyyyyy
mummy: talk to me on email la..
me: why don't you want to talk to meeee!
mummy: dont want la....
me: i don't go back ah?
mummy: go back where?
me: to singapore!
mummy: ok loh. somebody else support you loh. go get married.

and we both crack up. dong says i have a good mummy.

in the quiet place

i just looked at this picture again, and i thought to myself - it's sucha quiet picture, yet you seem to hear her saying singing words very very softly only for the sharpest of ears, the most attentive of listeners.

i just came back from liwei's 21st birthday celebration. he turned 21 on the 17th of last month but only held the celebration today because the past month was a way too busy one.

i can't say i know liwei well. we see each other every friday in ocf, and sunday at hobsons bay church, but other than the quick "hello how are you"s, we have never had a proper conversation before. but tonight i learnt a lot, not just about him, but FROM him. i can't exactly put a finger on what exactly i learnt. i suppose i'm not thinking a lot now, more of feeling.

liwei is busy preparing everything in the function room. he is talking to the people who have arrived, trying to get things started, making sure everything's ok. his mum and dad and little sister arrive. he pulls himself away, walks towards his mum and kisses her on the cheek before bringing the family in.

liwei had this list of things he wanted to go through, a list of songs, and a list of people who have things to saya about/to him. top of the list was no ALL-YOU-PEOPLE-LISTEN-TO-THIS-HAPPENING-SONG song. it was a humble hymn. he shared briefly from the bible. and you're there thinking "this is gonna be interesting.. doesn't feel like a party at all".

don't get me wrong, i wasn't the elast bit disappointed. in fact, i think it was really great, that everyone who went up would mention something about liwei's passion for God and his love towards the people around him. what can i say, this 21 year old is one impressive kid who still has yet to do his NS next year. no, correction. this 21 year old is a testimony of God's goodness.

it'd be great if i got the chance to know liwei better, to learn more from him. but hey, he's going to the army and im sure, and i pray, that he'd shine the Lord's light to more people back home in singapore.

and while i was lyrical about this guy, i suppose it all comes back to me and how i should respond, or YOU, how you would respond after reading this. am i challenged to grow in my walk as liwei has grown? will i go back to the quiet place everyday and whisper or sing in the softest voice to the sharpest of ears and most attentive of listeners..

where the sea breeze froze the penguins

MUMMY ASKED WHY I ALWAYS STICK OUT MY TONGUE. I THINK I LEARN FROM THE BEST.
seong taek (korean friend), jacob (from christine lim's cell group) and bernard (new to our cell.)
clockwise from brandon on the guitar, andy (andrew wong - current head of worship/prayer), daniel (peter chan's brother. oh my goodness you cannot believe my reaction when i found out he was peter chan's brother. we were in the car, i almost ripped the car apart. PETER CHANNNN!! i shall refrain from commenting further.) christine lim, and right in front's andrew.

more pictures for the wall :)

pay attention to detail

wow i didn't realise it's been a week since i last updated. 3 people have had their birthdays in the past two weeks. mandy's dinner was last week end, tiff's cocktail party was on sunday (i didn't touch the alcohol! still a good girl! hahaha! dong got me an OJ) and eddie's bithday dinner/sabo was on monday night.

shikes, eddie got dunked by daryl and kyle into a tub of ice water at the k house after having his hands and legs bound up with cable ties by me and tiff. hahaha it was hilarious to watch him uh.. (ok this sounds evil but..) shiver. the first thing eddie did when the chords were cut was dunk daryl into the bath tub. and watching them struggle was crazily funny. you could see one leg go in, then another, and as they continued struggling, daryl managed to prop himself ON the tub without touching the water only to end up in the tub not long after. kyle got the dunk too. dong was at comm meeting so.. unfortunately (or fortunately) he didn't make it. i would have loved to watch him get dunked into ice cold water though ;) heh!

anyway, someone was at the state library today. here's his locker receipt. he showed it to me and asked if i found anything interesting about it. i stared at it for half a minute but i didn't get what was so funny bout it. i was then told to turn around as he wrote sthg on it, folded it up and slipped it in the box of "hello panda" he handed me, telling me that i wasnt allowed to look at it till i got home.

this photo's been edited. heh i'm not posting the original with the writing on it. go figure!

singapore day and christmas shopping

on saturday morning 4th october, dong and elisa joined the long queue to enter sidney myer bowl for singapore day. they got in only after an hour, but nevertheless, waiting with good company is always considerably bearable. after queing up for freebies and lotsa free singapore food, the two finally decided to go back to melbourne, leaving about ten thousand other singaporeans to enjoy the local flavours.

seriously.

super singaporean worxXx. dong tak boleh tahan.

anyway, we left to shop for goodies to fill our christmas child box. oh see that red balloon? it's actually a heart-shaped balloon in a translucent balloon. the prettiest thing EVER!! (given to dong from OCF who gave it to me)

after that, we headed off for mandy's bithday dinner! yeah short post. im a girl of few words.

picnic pictures

hahahaha trust daryl to do that. this is just one of a gazillion shots of his head on the plate.
yes i think he loves this thingum.
SABBY THE PIRATE!

i think this is a really cute picture :) awwww yes i really like this picture!!

awhile

been awhile hasn't it - my last post was on sep26.

ever felt like your mind's been so cluttered with something you just can't put a finger to? that's kinda like how i'm feeling right now and no, it will NOT help if anyone comments on this post or asks me to chill or clear up my thoughts, or have any kind of response to this post. (might as well not post at all right?)
