Paintings!

:D

please dont laugh at me,
although traveling down to SIM after sch which started at 8am is really very tiring,

I am really looking forward to tomorrow's Lecture on David's and Friedrich's painting.

The tutor said one of them is the official painter for French Revolution.

Maybe because I'm a very visual person ba. :)

As of now, I've got no idea to do marking or reading up in prep for the lecture. :D

maybe I'll mark first then read ba.

:)

If you miss me, tell me k? ;)

Pst Sy Rogers

Was just listening to Pst Sy Roger's Sermon on his own life story - One Of the Boys.
Cant help but decide to post this up.
He is so drama.



"HUh! You're Sy Rogers I heard about you. There you were on the operating table and the doctor had the knife ready to cut. And then the angel of the Lord appeared and said "NO!"

:D
You should have seen his expression.

Scouts Camp

Saturday was at the Scouts camp.
Half recovering, half looking after the kids.
Thank God there were sufficient man power.





Look like some resort right? :D
The names the spoiler. :D




Doing the matrix :D

Yes Tents... have you ever slept in one?




Saga seeds. :D Have you collected them before?


Yes bugs... part and parcel of camp life. Dont complain


Getting ready to form the Horseshoe formation


The cook, yellow on yellow.


one of the trainners


A very important part of setting up a campfire, BLOW


Bunk bed. Nope, not for the kids.


THe cheering before eating...


One of my boys washing up


The chicken that gave me blisters...


It rained...

and from there I hopped onto a cab and rushed down for Pastor Phil's service.
:)

It was a good renewal!

Hallelujah!

back

Just saw a recent article on The New Paper,
it says Twitter is so last millennium in India. Simply because they talk out loud to communicate. So everyone's status is heard everywhere.

"They hear opinions even when they do not ask, receive advice they do not need, get a little love from everyone and a lot from no one."

:D

-

So tired of all the marking and assignments.
Realize again the need for blogging, that few moments of not working on work. :)

-

Learnt a very stark truth when I was on this blog break.
Learnt about difference in values of the church and the secular world.
Something so openly acceptable and talk about in the world that is on the other extreme end in my own spiritual walk.

-

Amanda wants a crystal studded...
HP? nope, it would be replaced about two years once.
Alarm Clock? nope, my phone is my alarm clock.
Camera? nope, I can be clumsy with it sometimes.
WaterBottle? Who on earth crystal stud their waterbottle...

Because it is so glam!
-

Oh, remind me to blog about Fergie and Will I Am and YesICan
-

Amanda is so depressed knowing that there is no comedy romance show in the theatres at the moment...
-

Could there be a possibility that for every trial we go through, we grow a little taller in stature?
COs I grew taller!!!
:D

-

A warrior.
One part brave, Three part fool.

-

Didnt have to serve this weekend,
Kinda miss putting on all those makeup stuff.
Saw the pretty faces on TV.
WoH!
I'm so gonna loss weight, shape up, slim down, build stamina, and be the envy of big bodies!

-

Dont understand why, still look forward to his messages.
Kinda like been pestering him since the day he gave his number.
Though I wasnt the one who initiated contact.
So much for saying its over.
So much for saying...
-

Is so wishing that the weekend is a little longer...
-

Shower, back to work.

Be Bless
Love

Saturday the 21st

Hi all,

I'm back finally to blog.
wah i think its like 2 days.

Anyway, its been a busy busy stretch, lets skip all the boring ones and go for some photos.
Super long saturday, totally exhausted. cos its a rolled on from the stretch of late night and early mornings.

Started with the Romance and Relationship Seminar of City Harvest Church at the Legends. Learnt alot through the seminar,
Steal the time during Lunch to walk up Fort Canning park and take photos.
The plants there were so Huge!


Any moment a Dinosaur would just pop its head out and *RoWR* at you :D





Feels as though walking up some stone steps to a castle in a faraway land...


Happen to notice the couple walking in-front of me, and saw them coming together to hold hands, :) reminds me

*Hand in hand, walking down the road with you.
Sings: "All I wanna do, is grow old with you..."


Long winding road.
It was a nice photo moment. :)

Continued walking and I saw this,

I was like "wOH"


:D

The taxi drove me to here and was kinda stuck at the gate, then I ask him, can we stop and get off here? He gladly obligated, I paid just as the car was allowed to pass through. SO he offered to drive me down . It was quite a distance, when we arrived, I insisted on giving him an addition dollar, he said "Dont Want, you very pretty, thats why I send you down" :D
Very Happy :D
Yes, woman like to be praised.

See More of Fort Canning Park.

That conference stretched into 2+ in the afternoon,
had the time so went over to say hi to Mr Droplet~
:) Donated blood


Then walked over to Central for lunch,
Hmm the foodcourt at Central still has the best view for Boat Quay


Then it was 5plus, headed over to Paya Lebar to go for a colleague's wedding. Cross Culture. Chinese married to an Indian





See More of Jac's wedding.

Too stone to tell you more about relating the indian wedding with the christian wedding. Perhaps blog more about it another time.

and of course, the very important person.

the photographer

I learnt something about myself that day, and its so not related to the actual event, or maybe it does. :D

anyway,
in an attempt to reduce the volume of my hair, avoid looking like a lion's mane,
I've rebonded my hair.
Pretty not?

kk, will take more glam pictures before comparing.

thats all for now

Im actually very interested to find out more.
But its not in this module.

Had no motivation to stay up and do, wanted to do make up for cellgroup instead, but leader prayed.
Must have been the prayers. :)

Dont count the hours you can sleep,
Make the hours count.

runaway!

O_O
Realized that I'm very prone to correcting people. :D Must have been the occupation.

cos theres this guy from a social networking website.
I organized an outing. I left my number, instructed to sms me if anyone is keen.
He private message me in the website, did not sms me.
So I dont have his number cant send confirmation to him.

After upteem times, he finally reply in the website with his number. not sms me.

I was so caught up with it.
Didnt follow my instruction!

:D

then last night send out sms to ask whether they are coming by mrt, if not it be silly to meet up at the MRT station.
and Till now, he still has yet to reply me.
*bugged*

The urge to poke him when I meet him later, is very very strong.

:D

oki,
I've got to get over it.

and I was just analysing my thoughts, wah~ just one act of disobedience, you've got no idea the chain of thoughts that got into my mind.

Haiyo!

Got to ask God for Grace, love him abit more.
Be more accepting.

This is life, look at it this way. I cant demand people to do things ur way *though I seem to be doing that everyday in my occupation*
Get over it. You are not dealing with children. its Adults. They have their way of life, the way they deal with people.
If you are not happy, thats your problem.
Dont make it their problem unless you are their superior.

Get over it.
Its like that.

:D

-

Went for a workshop the other day, went to get a drink,
then I saw the chain of adjectives used just to describe that noun in the drink's description.


"... is blended with seductive lemon flavours with Clean, Refreshing Cool Sensation and Energising Feel Good after taste. The great flavours make it best anywhere anytime. "

:D

-

I'm running away!
Today!
:D

no la,
as I mention outing in the evening,
then got a message the day before, go JB for A&W in the afternoon.
*first trip ever w/o my Daddy to malaysia though I live so near*

:D

Praise God for a literally no work Wednesday!
Yes,
I deserve it,
I need it!

:D

-

I finish my Gladiator Assignment!
Yeh!

I'm not satisfied with it though. But I got completely no idea what i can do to improve it. :D
Guess I'll read it again tonight.

Still got Psychology one to go.
-

Realize that I'm very good at overlooking the not so good things in life.
hmm... not tt its a good thing, so shall not talk about it.

-

Amanda is still tired...
hmm...

anyway

Amanda

BTP

Today's Saturday!
Its Blog Rot and Relax day. :D

Just realize, 3 of the 5 weekdays I dont have time for proper dinner.
I wonder if thats a good thing?
-

Was just watching Ellen on TV, the talkshow.
The interview was on Simon Baker,
so they were talking about this pair of spects that he wore for a very important award show. :D

then it came on to me.
"Get Old, Look Good and impress some people."
Some people. :D you cant impress all.
But still - Look Good. cos Get old will come to you like it or not. :D


Oh and he executed a "touch" very well. You know sometimes, a touch before making certain point can be very powerful. :) Oh, the one that he did. Caught me totally.

Think I'm much of a small detail person. :D

and oh ya, I like guys who are nice, fit, neat and meaty :D

*I'm so gonna watch Pride and Prejudice again*
-

Went to Sheng Siong today.
Saw a parent and her two daughter.
The girls were going "Mummy I wanna buy this." "Mummy I wanna buy that." Non-stop.
One is irritating enough, we have Two.
Mamma MiA!
I so know how I am going to deal with them if they are my children.
I need to ACQUIRE the patience that mom has.
-

Oh ya, Chris Brown has officially taken over Robbie William's position of Bad Boy of Pop! :D
Figuratively :D
-

Went for a welfare event today with the school staff.
Guess where is it!

Familiar?

A little bigger clue for u


:)
Its the Bottle Tree Park!


You know when you take the train from Khatib to Yishun,
You'll pass by this fishing village kind of place? :)
Thats it!

The children did Lokang fishing. Children of my colleagues. :D



:D think thats the result of extreme scratch.
"wheres my fish! wheres my fish!" *while furiously scrubbing the floor of the pond from the left to the right* :D

the adults on the other hand...


Prawning~

thats my 1st one. Ever. In my life. :D
Yup, Pink "crocs"

Oh and they have a lily pod pond there~


As usual, not very well maintained.



It was a great Saturday morning weather~
-

oh and heres a picture I caught on the way to cgm on friday 7.30pm+


I went home when the moon is high up in the sky for a good part of this week.

Realized I am so busy that I should be down and out by now.
But God is good. He provides.
-

Thats all for now,

Assignment due on Wednesday and Thursday. Full week ahead!
Thank God I have a busy life.

Side note,
was just evaluating a situation in my life.
must have been the starving. use to be a somewhat huge matter, so learnt not to feed it. Now it still occupies space in my heart, but not too big. Its kind of like small but heavy.
Came to the realization that its a struggle to let go.
and I kept telling myself "It aint over till I decide so."
But I know its over.

Love,
Amanda
