Hi guys,
i am back from Malaysia!!! Just came back from leaders' meeting and it was so good. Pastor shared a word and led us to pray and i just keep thanking God for all CG!! Love you guys so much for being part of my life (i know its NOT thanksgiving yet!!) but really, i think that every single one of you (YES! ALL of you) make up an important part of my life..i thank God for each one of you (dont need to name out right?? hehee..people like Vincent, Max, Jiahui, Li Yun, Xiu Yuan, Chloe, Edmond, Hong Kai, Wui An, Kenneth, Jia Wei, Wan Hong, Jia Cheng, Laurel, Cyra, Liwei, Alan and lots lots more- order not in any particular order...and i am so sleepy so not going to list out everyone larh!!) I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! so..i have to apologise that i dint managed to bring FOOD back for you guys from the trip- do read the post below for better understanding of why...
28-29 July 08
JB. Malacca. KL. Genting.
This trip started as Howard and Joseph would describe as "liwei making the announcement during the last day of The HAPPENING CAMP for a camp comm outing to JB* (*note that it is supposed to be JB). So, we went our separate ways and everyone sort of forgot about this till Liwei sms Changhan to see if its still on and Changhan say that he ok..so liwei started to sms everyone and the replies were as follows:
Joseph: memememememmememe!!
Howard: confirm not??
Jiji: I dont mind going.
and the rest replied to say that they cannot.
and my replies were:
to Joseph: Ok!! see you on Monday!
to Howard: confirm!! just make it happen larh!!
to Jiji: dont fly kite k? cos got no other girls le..
Then on sunday night due to the POOR forecast while Howard, Changhan and Joseph were playing "Roti Prata" at Selegie, they called me and Jiji and say that since so little people Joseph will drive (but not his BMW..hahahh) and we take a further trip to Malacca (*note that it is to Malacca).
So liwei is a happy girl cos the whole Holiday she wanted to go SOMEWHERE but havent been able to do it..so she is happy that can go MALAYSIA!! (just imagine how sad that is larh!)..So, she finished all that she was supposed to do so that can play the whole day on monday. Woke up at 10am to get ready cos was supposed to meet the rest at 11am. As 11am approached, she received an SMS from Changhan to say that meet Joseph 2omins later at the place we were supposed to meet- so she very free just went to read book while waiting..then she went to the MRT station- after about 30mins of waiting- she thought she got the wrong place and sms changhan and Joseph..to find out that Changhan's passport got problem need to go immigration to settle (which seriously liwei is super sian-ed cos she thought that maybe just going JB le..) so Changhan and Joseph asked her to go meet Jiji at Jurong east first and i did!!
So, Jiji and i went to eat dessert at JE and then walk to IMM and walk 3 rounds before the rest finally arrived in Joseph's 7-seater MVP. time check 3pm- we were supposed to meet at 11am!! gosh..whatever can go wrong already went wrong. Then we found out that Jiji gotta be back at 6plus for a wake- so we were debating that we shld just forget about Malacca and stay in JB. and the next thing we know, we are on our way to Malacca to eat. and after awhile Jiji realised that she would never be able to come back in time for the wake. Tsk-tsk.
On the expressway where Joseph was driving at about 180km/h..we saw this Famosa Chicken Rice Ball sign and we decided to go look for that- but we ended up at A' Famosa instead- but we still had chicken rice there. There, we decided that we will head to KL and also we decided that we shall just head to Genting and stayover for the night before coming back to Singapore again to attend leader's meeting. and that was it- one meal and we decide to do this crazy thing. With Changhand and Joseph not bringing even their bag and the rest of us with nothing to change into, we left the "deserted" A'Famosa and headed to KL.
the entrance of A' Famosa
The chicken rice that we ended up ordering.
Our drinks that we had with the meal.
First stop was to KLCC to shop for clothes to change into. We walked the whole place and we wanted to find something nice for changhan (for some reason that we no longer remember). After like 30mins we still dint manage to find anything suitable- though Joseph and Howard wanted to buy the Banana Republic notebook and the salesperson say cannot! lols. After wandering abit more, Joseph wanted to go to Ralph Lauren (his personal favourite and trusted brand!). At that time, Changhan received an sms and found a pressing need to settle some CMS matter and Howard also think that he should do CMS before we continue our adventure! So, we decided to go for a short trip to Ralph Lauren- which ended up to be a LONG trip with all of us getting something from the shop and me with my first ever Ralph Lauren top (ok larh..my wallet now BIG HOLE!!). After which we went to look for the internet place and while Changhan and Howard were there, the rest of us went to look around for Jiji's top (she is the only one who dint get anything from RL).
Thereafter, we left KLCC building as the shops are closing but before that, we called our family who thought we were crazy to call back and inform that we are staying overnight!! maddness!! everything seemed like a dream. anyway, so we went out and too many photos with the TWIN TOWER (its my FIRST time to KL!!!) - photos are mostly with Howard in his cam- will upload soon..and before we knew it its 11pm. So we left the beloved towers and headed for dinner. with limited cash in our wallets, we settled for KFC and the queue was LONG and slow but the ORIGINAL chicken there is Finger Lickin' Good!!
The Twin Tower captured by my phone.
After dinner/ supper, its almost 1am plus plus..we set out for Genting. We started Joseph's GPS phone and started to look for the expressway to head to Genting. We got lost a few rounds and went round and round there- thoughts of just driving back to Singapore crossed our mind but we decided to stick to our plans- to go to Genting. Then, the phone DIED (well, Joseph dint charge the phone - remember that this is supposed to be a day trip larh!) and we were left on our own- after getting lost again and seeking help from the polis we finally went on to the expressway to Genting which was only a 30min drive from KL. We went up and finally reached Genting at about 3am.
so Joseph and Howard went to get us a room at Resort Hotel only to find out that ALL the hotels at Genting are FULLY BOOKED cos of the MTV-Asia event this weekend.
This is the engine that did wonders.
The Lobi is in sight.
Entertaining ourselves while they settle the room
So, we contemplated of not getting a room and just sleep in the car but we sort of need to shower and clean up..so we decided to try another place and pray that God will provide a room. And God was good, we indeed got a room where we can rest our feet for the night. Initially, we wanted to go walk walk at the casino- cos yours truly being the youngest and most mountain turtle of the group has never had a chance to go into casino before. BUT we were too tired and we fell aslp after we called the reception 3 times wanting an extra bed and Joseph going down to talk to the duty manager but CANT!! so, we "tear" the bed apart into 2 so that the girls and the guys can take one bed each. Since we cant get extra bed, we called the housekeeping twice- once to get extra towers and to get extra pillow- and the next thing we knew is morning. (actually it was already morning.)
Plans of wanting to wake at 8am did NOT materialised. we ended up waking up at 9am when i woke up. then we took turns to bath and changed into our prized possession from Ralph Lauren (S) and that took us 2hours. and its already 11am when we finally put the bed back, took a photo in the room and head to check out the room. With the stuff put back in the car, we headed to the casino and the guy checked Joseph's passport thinking that he is only 18 (makes his day! lols..)
So, i was for the first time exposed to the world of gambling..lols..no larh..but its interesting to see the different games and to see all the UNCLES and AUNTIES sitting there gambling..we dint gamble but just walked around to look look see see..
After look see look see, we went to pizza hut for Breakfast (in case you havent realised that we have been having ALOT of fast food!!)seriously, the food is not that fantastic and the waitor spilled drinks on me- that i really got a shock and i JUMPED up from my seat- the rest were stunned!! anyway, after that we decided its really very late and we have got leaders' meeting so cant drag le..we headed for the car but saw starbucks and went to get coffee!!
After getting coffee and advance celebration of Joseph's birthday, we took a few photos and recorded a video for the "and i will fly, high above the CLOUDS" this is like real larh..we were walking and flying amongst the clouds. We went to the carpark, said a prayer over malaysia and also for NUS and NTU and headed down from Genting towards Singapore.
The return trip was rather peaceful, we had fun and we got a little rest and stopover at the A&W in Malacca for Root Beer Float and Waffle before heading back to JB to stop over at City Sqaure to pick out a gift and also for me to get food for the CG.
Just as you think that the journey is coming to an end, there is another exciting saga that happened in the remaining of the journey back. Halfway from the A&W and JB, we realised that we are a little low on petrol but thinking that we have more than enough petrol to make it back to JB before going to Shell instead of using some Pentax3 petrol we headed to JB. 5 mins after that, we saw the petrol tank arrow jumped to EMPTY and the EMPTY light lit up. The digital meter showing you how much km you can travel went dead, showing only 4 dashes. We knew that we were in some serious trouble if our car stall. We were worried and we began to pray and lay hands on the car, praying that God will bring us to the next petrol kiosk before our car died. Thoughts of impossibility raced through our mind as we continue the journey back without seeing any petrol station. But God is good, we travelled about 30plus km with supposedly NO petrol..We turned in to the nearest and first petro kiosk that we come into contact with and filled the supposedly 65l tank with almost 69l of petrol- could this mean that we are riding on the grace of God that we went NEGATIVE tank? Woah, God is good indeed.
Note the Petrol sign already went below the line and the digital meter is not showing how much more we can travel.
this is how it is supposed to look like when there is petrol- do a compare and contrast..
Topping up more than the capacity of the tank!! woah!
with 1.5 hours, we thought that we have ample time to get back to singapore for leaders' meeting. but we ended up getting caught in the jam and all reaching the leaders' meeting late. Gosh, and to top it up, we were escorted to a special room where they verified Changhan's document bwfore they let us go.
Its been a mad 24hours- we have one life to live and we want to live it to the fullest!!! that is what inspired this unplanned trip. But we really had fun!!!! :)
Thanks guys for being such a great company!!! :)
More photos and updates again tml..i am super tired now..
Out and over.

What is a camp without a group photo together at the very end of it. We drew to the close of the camp with this group picture that we took together in LT25 at NTU after Darren's sharing.
One of my few photos with the Norse gals- which i am the "honourary" member! hahah
Here is an attempt to act "cute" lols..check out the guys. wahahahhaha...
Norse!! we are.................................ZAI!!! the most ZAI OG in the entire camp- that i like to believe! :)The much awaited and anticipated camp of the year (well, at least for me) the NUS/NTU combined The Happening Camp. It came and it went and seriously it was a great camp.
I am thankful for all the wonderful friends that i made- so i have new people to have lunch with the new school term starting- not to forget new NTU friends- yeah!! i sounded like i very friendless, but it is always nice to make new friends.
i carefully avoided most cameras during the camp- so you dont really see me in pictures that are not posed! lols..which also explain the fact that i am the one taking most of the pictures despite them being different people camera- which really remind me of the fact that i need to go and get the camera that i have been saying that i want to get.
anyway back to the camp. It has been enriching, learning from the different ones who avail themselves to come down to the camp and help out though they might be busy and all. Through their lives, there are many things that i picked up and learn and everything that i go through with this camp make me realised that there are so many things and areas in my life that i need to work on- that is very true i am still a work in progress.
But one of the main person that i really want to thank is DARREN!! He shared 2 really great word during the 2nd and 3rd day of the camp that totally brought back the passion and the fire within me. Its been a long time since i have seen people cry and pray with this intensity- and for that spilt second, i asked myself what is wrong? shouldnt we always be praying and crying out with such passion- perhaps somewhere along the way, we left it behind. It really inspired me and not only that- i brought it back and i hoped that it had in a little way inspired the CG as well.
Some stuff that i carry with me through the sessions with darren and the service with Pst Derek this week:
1. Prayer builds intimacy.
2. You will only be close to the people that you pray for.
- this 2 things are so simple yet we always forget- pray for the people that you want to be close with.
3. Every generation have their own Goliath that they have to overcome- what's yours?
4. Is there a cause? Here I am, Send me- This is my calling.
- where is your mission field? where has God planted you? That is your calling.
5. Every radical change requires a radical pain.
- It is going to cost you something.
6. If you have the audacity to ask God for something, God has the audacity to give it to you.
(this one is from me actually. hahhaha)
Believing for great things in NUS in this last year in this campus. On top of that, believing in you guys in n397 for a revival in your schools as well. Let's do this together!
Alrights, its 5am- this is my promised post, i will post more when i am back from Malacca (YESH!! can you believe it??? finally i get to go away somewhere- though its NEAR but nevermind- better than nothing!! cant wait- going to rest and later we are setting off!!! coolness!!!)
CIAO!!

Mercies that rise with the new morn Set me apart as a new born
Each moment I live, by faith I believe
With You I'm never alone
Darkness may come, trials seem so long
You are the light I depend on
Through valleys and storms, Your word keeps me strong
My shelter, refuge and song
I trust in You
Everyday I live
I know You are my God
I lift my face and look to you my God
Even when the mountains tremble
And a thousand fall
I will stand with You
My Jesus
Take my all

Dark Knight is good- i am not a batman fan but this show is good, there are alot of things that you can really get out of this movie. All should go and catch it. Amidst all the darkness and evil, you will discover that goodness still triumph and that is something that the joker cannot stand. In fact, if you think about it..you will find something or someone that you can identify with.
Alot of times, we find it so easy to correct people, to judge people. Well, if you dont like the comments, just hear it and let it go. But if you think that the comments are helpful hold on to them and learn from there. However, as you begin to think that the people that you corrected are not making an effort to internalise your suggestions- maybe they dont want to, that is one of the possibility, the other is that person is already trying- just that you dont know that. Before we judge, let's examine our own life and if we have to comment or say something, let it be done out of love. Everyone has struggles (well..even batman..he too have emotions and feelings and he make wrong decisions at times..but well, he still remains a superhero despite his flaws) I guess that there is no one that is perfect (not counting God that is), if we spend our life trying to find fault with everyone, i think our lives will be miserable. Whatever has passed belonged to the past- if you keep holding on to it, you are merely holding and living in the ghost of your memories that are keeping tormented. If the world is a horrible place, instead of blaming others, perhaps we can do our part to make it a better place.
Kindness and goodness still triumph in the world today.
There is no bad seed on earth.
Know who you are, know your identity.

Lester asked me to do this:http://kts2.personalityzone.com
and here is my results- also cant gauge if its accurate! lols.
Custom Keirsey Temperament Report for Adalia
Your Keirsey Temperament Sorter Results indicate that your personality type is that of The GuardianTM.
All Guardians share the following core characteristics:
Guardians pride themselves on being dependable, helpful, and hard-working.
Guardians make loyal mates, responsible parents, and stabilizing leaders.
Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.
Guardians are concerned citizens who trust authority, join groups, seek security, prize gratitude, and dream of meting out justice.
Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply--and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.
Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there's a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly--they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.
Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails; working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap.
Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs the rest of us take for granted.

i just finished packing my room- a tiny part of my room- cleared all the papers that were to be thrown away and as usual, it added up to one whole bag full- i can finally see soms room on my table lols..which is used to place my laptop cos it just crashed and i just finished transferring all the music and photo files to the external then i am going to REFORMAT the whole laptop which means that the whole thing- everything will be GONE!! i got to reinstall and download everything from scratch!! Everyone tell me that it is probably time to get a new laptop- which i am really pondering should i get a laptop or get a desktop- cos after i graduate i dont really need a laptop that much. However, having said that, graduation is in ONE YEAR's time so that is really not an issue as of now. i have YET to receive my PAY!!!! for my tuition (cos i just started the new tuition), my INTERNSHIP!!! and my "freelance" assignment..plus i just got a phone and the attributes sales and tons of people's birthday so i am BROKE!!! so if you are reading this and you felt led to bless me (you are very welcome!!!) or if you belong to the other category of people- that is if you OWE me money- please feel led to return me money so that i can have money to eat..haix..very long never encounter situation like that already.
which is also why i started work again today after my hiatus of 2 weeks- which i have no idea where it went. It really need some adjustment- i am still not very used to the notion of going to work. But i think that i will get a hang of things and soon $$ will be coming in- i guess that is my only motivation at this point in time.
Having been through many and different kind of jobs, i know that i need to start planning for my future- i need to think of which industry and job that i want to go into. You think that there is a year to think but time pass faster than you can blink your eyes!! scary!!
***
Had the first leaders' meeting in 3 weeks. and i tell you it was great! Leaders' meeting is like the cell group meeting for the leaders where you recharge and go on again. Pastor is back this week with a great work and we hear about the many great things that we can learn from the Hillsong Conference and we watched the new DVD- if you have the cash- go and pre-order this week, its really good!! lols..but the meeting was great!! Glad for the touch once again to keep on keeping on!!
Ok! its 3am and there are tons of things that i need to do- such as to bring the laptop to the hospital and work and its gonna be a packed day with dry run and all!!
Thurs- THE DARK KNIGHT premier!! cant wait!!!

well, as i was "researching" for my name previously, i found THE ROSE show thing and i went to watch- its nice but its a little far too draggy so when i am at epi 11 i skipped all the way to the last epi where it was a happy ending where ella married Jerry and managed to slim down blah blah blah..but i got to say that Joe Cheng's acting is good in this show- but it also reminded me of his other roles- seems like the character that they casted for him are all quite similar. His role- Kui in THE ROSE is particularly similar to SummerXSummer's Lei. and there is a resemblance of that in It Started with a Kiss and They Kiss Again. When i have the patience to watch THE ROSE maybe i will finish up the reminding 15episodes..hahahhaha...Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it’s only seed
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken,
who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
But the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.
:: The Rose :: 阿桑 :: 蔷薇之恋电视原声带 ::
Well, the songs in this show are all duper SAD, EMO etc..its the kind that you listen to them and you will feel super got "feeling" kind of songs.
That day had supper with ZY and WJ and it ended up with trying to come up with sad, breakups and emotional love songs and you realised that alot of songs that you know of can somehow describe these feelings rather well and you feel like as if it is talking to you and about you!
Of cos, why is it that it reed up feeling from you is that you are probably feeling that way..ZY was singing 原谅我 by Jam.S and saying how it TOTALLY describe how he was feeling (begin to realised that the guys ard me recently are all rather emo..*dots* but well, let them be bah..hopefully they will all feel better and pick themselves up again soon!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN!! :)

Today's lesson: FLOWERS
琉璃苣Borage
The flower that 存稀 gave to 欣仪 when they met in Shanghai. They really look quite nice, here are a few pictures:



英文名 Borage
學名 Borago officinalis
科名 紫草科
原產地 地中海沿岸
【Story】
在希臘羅馬時代,琉璃苣又被稱作星花(Star Flower),據說當時的人們把琉璃苣加入杯中與酒共飲,相信它可以使人忘卻煩憂與悲傷,產生勇氣。[author's note: 所以他的花语是:勇气!!]
琉璃苣的莖葉與花萼上都披著粗糙絨毛,紫色的星狀花檃略微低垂,模樣十分惹人愛憐。
【苗】 育苗期為每年9~3月。
【播種】 9~3月。春天的播種期從3月到梅雨來臨前,秋天的播種期則從秋分開始到10月為止,由於琉璃苣屬植根性,很容易發芽,因此施行條狀播種即可。播種時間隔30~40cm就種3~4顆種子,再輕輕地覆蓋上一些土即可。
【花期】 2~5月
【發芽溫度】 15~20℃
【土壤】 種在排水良好的土壤中,耐貧瘠、乾燥,即使不特別要求土質,也能生長強健。
【日照】 全日照,喜好於陽光充足的場所生長。
【溫度】 耐寒。
【水份】 雖極耐乾燥,但過濕環境會不利生長,除夏季或非常乾燥時期外,幾乎沒有澆水的必要。
【修剪】 植株長到30cm之後,就可以摘取嫩葉使用。琉璃苣的花屬一日花,如果想要拿來醃糖,或是作押花的話,必須在花開的當天早上就摘下來。花從主枝的頂端開始長,因此花被摘掉之後要把主枝剪掉,好讓分枝得以伸展。莖被剪斷之後,切口最好保持乾燥,所以儘量不要在雨天摘採花朵。
【繁殖】 用自然掉落的種子即可繁殖。
【藥效】 具有發汗鎮靜的效果,並能利尿,使人強壯,具淨化血液的作用。
If you read up more about it- there are other medicinal values that the Borage has- not bad!! it is also known as the starflower becos of the way that it look like.
***
My favourite flower is Lily 百合, particularly 白百合.

i like the elegance and the beauty that it carries.
百合的花语是:伟大的爱
它也代表纯洁, 纯情
that day was just talking to the other liwei- from the english spelling my name is a very guyish name but if you want to truly understand what my name means, you got to look at the chinese characters: 莉薇 which came from 茉莉 and 蔷薇 --> which are both flowers! hahaha..
茉莉 which is actually Jasmine.

茉莉花素洁、浓郁、清芬、久远,它的花语表示爱情和友谊。
花以表达坚贞爱情。它也作为友谊之花,在人们中间传递。
For further read on this: HERE
then
蔷薇 which is actually in the Rose family. (you know like the Ella and Joe Cheng show-蔷薇之恋 The Rose?- and the irony is that Ella is called 百合 in the show so dont ask me why is it call 蔷薇之恋 cos i dont get it either! lols..cos i dint watch)

蔷薇的花语代表美好的爱情和爱的思念。
盛开的蔷薇给予人对爱情的憧憬,然而爱情不只是一场美丽的梦,花虽然会凋谢,心中的最爱却永不凋零,蔷薇就是恋的起始、爱的誓约。各种蔷薇花语有:红蔷薇代表热恋;粉蔷薇代表爱的誓言;白蔷薇代表纯洁的爱情;黄蔷薇代表永恒的微笑;深红蔷薇代表只想和你在一起;粉红蔷薇代表我要与你过一辈子;圣诞蔷薇代表追忆的爱情;野蔷薇代表浪漫的爱情;黑蔷薇代表绝望的爱等。
if you want to read more HERE is a link.
warning: both links are chinese sites.
so, my name is actually a rather girly name after all ok?? lols..
so why isnt my english name Jasmine or Rose or Lily for that matter??
THREE WORDS:
DONT BE CRAZY!!!
can you imagine calling me any of the three that were mentioned? i think we will all die laughing or rolling on the floor. But i do know that if i am not wrong the english name that my mom chose was originally meant purple flower or sth!! oh gosh! hahahha
ok larh..going to get some sleep! nights!

北京的深秋冷冰冰的双手
去年的 这时候 是你温暖我
为什么骗我
为什么要懦弱
我爱你 难道不值得放手一搏
朋友们搞笑装疯 我挤不出笑容
想起你 我还是哭了
死胡同 怎么走都不通
回忆包围着我
我受困在你甜蜜的笑容
死胡同 走不到你怀中
我在原地心痛
心痛也没有用 你不爱我
幸福总和我 完美擦身而过
有人说 那是我 潜意识犯错
所以你骗我 所以你要懦弱
::死胡同:: 刘力扬 ::
我在听这个专辑的时候在想这个"死胡同"究竟是什么意思!相信很多人也和我一样- 一头乌水!!但最后我找到了我要的答案!
死胡同:
死路(於台灣稱死巷子或死巷,中國北方稱死胡同,廣東話稱之為掘頭路、死巷、盡頭路)指一條其中一邊沒有出口的街道。
假若路人不熟悉道路,誤入死胡同會浪費時間,因為路有盡頭,非原路折返不可,所以不少死路都會在路口處好心地貼有單程路或此路不通等路標,以警告路人。
有一个图片可以微妙的解释"死胡同"这三个字:

***
A picture paints a thousand words right?? So, what it meant is a DEAD-END. This is one of my most well-like song in her album (which is generally quite GOOD!!)anyway it talks about how walking into this other person's life is like walking into a dead-end and no matter how, she cant seems to walk out of it. Yet, even though she felt that she has walked into a dead-end (cos he doesnt like her the way that she likes him) she still like the guy. Ok, you get the general idea of the whole story.
Never understood this- why in a generation who regard chinese as poison, i like chinese, maybe not the studying of it but i like the language, there are alot of things like the above phrase that you would be able to get the kind of usage in english. Notice that i am not referring to any other language cos i am only bilingual. hahha.

I am in the central library doing the assignment that i am doing for Yen, and its totally driving me nuts, i have here for the past 5 hours and i am only halfway through- this kind of thing must have mood one larh..so i am actually stoning now. Decided to come and drop a post! :)
***
My brain is full of PR terms and description and campaigns blah blah blah..not exactly tinking straight. Why am i in school in the first place? cos there is a recee for the NUS/NTU combined The Happening Camp which has been POSTPONED!!! please note that the new camp dates are: 21-23 JULY 2008.
anyway, cos i have an assignment to do and i am supposed to send it over tonight. Here i am trying to write my 2500 words essay!! oh my, i think that i havent been writing for too long and the words and the thoughts are just not flowing. MENTAL BLOCK!!
Its been almost one week since i ended my internship and i have yet to pack my room and do some of the things that i have set out to do! gosh! i definitely need to take some time to plan for my own life and for the CG and to spend sometime with myself doing some reflections.

Life is full of unexpected happenings and things that you dont know how to handle but as you walk out of it, you become better and stronger. There are people who have disappointed me and let me down but they are also the reason that i am stronger today. That day i posted the 品冠 song cos i had something to say (but i was too lazy to blog). it speaks of a friend (in the case of his song, its probably an ex-girlfriend i presume) who is no longer a good friend. What makes me think of that song? like i always say- you think that 偶像剧 came out of no where meh? of cos they came out of the life experiences that people went through. it is much more so for songs, i think that every song is a story, an experience. So, there will be certain songs that will bring to you certain memories. that song did- it reminded me of someone (sorry to disappoint- but it is not some guy nor ex-bf!) it reminded me of a friend, whom our relationship is a little strained and i dont know or cant comprehen the way that i am supposed to face it. Perhaps, it is not as strained as it feels but we'll see how larh!

Think i cannot waste anymore time le, i shall go and do what i am supposed to do and ponder at the same time!
ciaos!

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouthStill a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer
To me
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

Neighbour was singing this song last night and this morning- so it was a little stucked in my head.
I officially ended my One-month internship at Bates141 under Enfatico (a name that everyone is still trying to get used to) yesterday. There was a tinge of unwillingness- really larh!! though life there was not the best all the time but i got to know a group of interesting people who may sometimes scream at you but at other times quite nice to hang around with. I keep asking God if there is a reason that He has placed me in this internship- perhaps, this i will learn along the rest of my life. But one thing though, it did get me thinking if i still want to continue to walk and work in this line- Advertising. I guess that i would have about 9 months to think and ponder about this issue.
While i take a break from the past 2 months of working, it doesnt make me any slacker than usual. We had a NUS prayer meeting yesterday to pray for the upcoming NUS/NTU combined The Happening Camp that is coming up next Monday to Wednesday. and after that we had a discussion to discuss the games till 5am!! OMG!! then i went home and fell on the bed and fell dead! then i woke up this morning and i am back in school to collect my ISM paper and continue with the camp accoms and planning. Let's pray that everything will turn out ok though.
Got 2 tickets to The Dark Knight Movie Premier on the 17th July and Ping is going together with me. I guess this is one of the perks of working in the media industry. You get invited to launches and stuff which is pretty cool. looking forward to it!!
i have work for Yen that i have not really touched on it yet, so i tink that the next2 nights dont really need to sleep already. but it has to be done. and there is a publishing conference that is coming up and i am part of the student volunteer team- so there are briefing and all that need to attend. So, life without work still goes on and on.
But i am excited for the next half of the year, believing for greater breakthroughs in my own life and in the CG. Though it may not be easy, liwei you got to hang in there!!! before you get your breakthrough, you gotta work hard for it!

Bad news- some stuff at work cropped up!!! gosh, i hope that i dont get into trouble!!! haix.
