Randomly Checking In

I bore myself to death yesterday,
couldn't do anything productive!

I don't know what happened to me yesterday,
but today was the opposite :D

i feel better, energetic yet calm :)

I started doing PACE again today :p
and hopefully I work on my Christmas project for the church x_x (should be done by tomorrow! urgh)

Btw,
I'm thinking of doing several 'personal' projects that'll last for quite a few while..
Like maybe doing something for Christmas, or for New Year,
but starting from now..
Hmmm, any ideas, anyone?



Okay,
this post is totally random.

I'm going to stop 'talking' and continue my works!


CHEERS!

September 23, 2013 - Seventeen going on Eighteen

Hmph.
Am I really getting older?
I guess I am :)


People looked at me (or my pictures) with disbelief...
They can't believe that I am turning 17.
And I'm with them!
It's still hard to say that I am 17,
Again, I still want to stay 16 :(


But looking waaayyy back to years and years ago,
Every year God manages to always give me exciting things throughout..
So I guess I'll just have to wait faithfully for what He has in store for me in the next year :)


Anyway,
I wanted to thank all of my friends from TT, Krismit, and DI for always being there for me,
Always cheering me up when I need a bit of a lift :)
Love you guys so much; you guys are THE best! :D

Of course I also wanted to thank my family.
No family is perfect, I believe.
But then that's why we are a family, because we accept each other's strenghts and flaws..
You guys are awesome :)


Hmm, now the hard part,
Talking about birthday presents! :p
Honestly, the hardest question besides, "What's your favourite food?" is "What do you want for your birthday?"
Heck I want a lot of things!!!!!! :D:D
I want nice shoes, dresses, make up equipment *muahahahaha no.*
Books, guitars, more books, ukulele, some more books........ :p
So to that question I can only say, "Oh you don't have to give me anything."
It's not a lie though!
I want those things doesn't mean I need them to give me that :)
This year I got 2 beautiful watches,
A picture frame with my picts *duhhh*
and one more gift that I want to buy for myself hahaaa :p
Not sure yet but we'll see :)



If you ask me about this past year,
I can tell you lots and lots of amazing stuffs.
But if you ask me about the upcoming year, I can only answer with three words,
"I don't know."
I don't know yet where I'll be next year.
I could already be in college! :D or doing some missionary school-typething, or doing internships...
We'll see, i guess? :D

Hoping for another great great year,
This is me, now officially 17, out!


CHEERS!

22 September 2013 - Sad, Beautiful, Tragic

I'm so sad right now, it's not real.

I just had the most amazing day, actually..
But I realized, today is the last day of me being a 16yo girl! :O

Time flies so very quickly,
I can still imagine me dreaming about being a 16 y.o. girl, and now one year later I had to move on to be 17...

And I wonder, is being 17 going to be as fun?

I went to my first away trip to StudentConvention with my friends, and we had so much fun!
I passed my Paket C examination with a remarkably good result.
I had the trip of a lifetime to Aussie with my whole family.
I met so many new friends,
And yet manages to get even closer with my old ones..
I learned how to drive! Haha :)
I passed an IELTS Test with a good mark.
I was offered a HUGE Christmas project at Church :)
The future has been calling louder and clearer now :)
I had been learning so much about life, and having a blast living my life.


I'm not so sure 17yo is going to be as fun.
Plus, I feel like when you turn 17, you are somehow demanded to be mature in an instant click.
So not fun.
I mean, what's so special with the number '17'?

But time never stop ticking,
And i will have to go to sleep and face the reality that I will be 17 tomorrow, even i I dislike it so very much.
I just wish that the coming year is going to be better.
And I pray that in the next year I can become a better person :)


So,
This is me, being 16 for the last hour, Out!

CHEERS!

Life's good! :D

How's your life?

Mine's awesome :D


I had a few 'bored' moments throughout the week, but I had amazing moments as well ! :)
Last week, my dad celebrated his birthday and went to a little vacation with mum. Me and my sister were left, in our house, alone! :'( :'(
I missed them soooooo much, because they left us with tons of food in the fridge from the dinner party we had. Now, I love having food available in the fridge, ready to go at any time. But not that much!! Our fridge was never that full before, ever. What's worse, there was only 2 kinds of food, to eat as lunch, dinner, breakfast, for a few days straight.

ugh.

Anyway,
those horrible time of my life is now over! Mum and Dad are home now, yay!

But Dad's not the only one celebrating his birthday, I got a few friends celebrating their birthdays too last week, so happy birthday to you all! :D



Yesterday was exciting as well. I got offered a huge project for our church! And I can't wait!
This is my first time handling such project like this, and I'm excited to see it through.
Hint: it has something to do with Christmas
:D
I really hope that I can pull it off nicely though, since I love me my Christmas so very much :(


AANNNDD LASTLY!!! :D
Today I got my EILTS test result which I took a couple weeks ago.
And the results are pretty exciting. HAHA.


I don't really want to leave home, but can I just say,
man, I can't wait for college years.
Love and Peace.


CHEERS!

True Believer - At First Sight SPOILER ALERT

I am a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks' books. I love most of his book :D Even after writing a lot of novels, he manages to always bring up a new, fresh stories. Well, that's what writers do, after all :p

A few months ago (Or was it last year?) I bought True Believer. It's a really touching story about a journalist from New York named Jeremy Marsh, and he came to this small city Boone Creek, to investigate some strange shadows of fog in a cemetery. There, he met Lexie Darnell, and fell in love. The rest of the book then  tells how the feelings resolved etc.

I love this book! It manages to capture the small town feel, with the closeness of the city members. And it's a happy ending book! I love happy endings! I think most Nicholas Sparks' novels end happily and that's why I love them :p


Then, last week when I went to Singapore, as usual, we went book hunting in Kinokunia. I love the place, have been coming there for years. Starting from looking for comics or children story books, to now novels and cookbooks :p ( I love seeing the delicious food photos :p ) And even though I found several interesting novels, I didn't really want to purchase them just yet, they were not 'attracting' enough, which was a real bummer -- I really wanted to buy something! I hadn't bought a new book for months now, and the last books that I bought - hmm let's just say they weren't very nice.

Then, I saw on one of the shelves, Nicholas Sparks' novels! All waiting for me to buy the, :p hehee
So I bought then the sequel of True Believer, which is At First Sight. I wanted to buy the other novels, of course, but I wanted to finish this 'series' first. And when I hold the book,  I was like, "ooh yeah, this is what i want." So I went ahead and bought it :)

That night I couldn't sleep! I couldn't take my eyes off the book! I started reading it and I just couldn't stop.

The story began with Jeremy leaving New York to now live in Boone Creek. He had proposed to Lexie before, and we learned from the ending of True Believer that Lexie is pregnant. This book told the 9 months they shared together, preparing the wedding, being a married couple, and facing their future as parents as well as other difficulties.

This book (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!) has a sad ending, though :(:(:(
I was really sad after reading it :( It did have a strong conclusion though, and if it didn't end that way, it won't be strong enough, and it won't be Nicholas Sparks. But still, I wished it could be happier :')


I finished reading at around 00:30 :p
super late for me, as every body else were already sleeping :p

Do i regret buying the book? No, not really. I just much prefer the True Believer, for sure :)


Hmmm can't wait to buy another novel :p The Longest Ride, maybe :)

CHEERS!
