Sups my friends~~~ 3.5 more weeks till the end of the semester! I can't believe time is passing by so quickly, I'm already almost halfway into my poly life! :o

Well, I've had a pretty eventful week last week, productive I would say. Went to watch Lisa's showchoir performance 2 Sundays ago with games comm, it's like a Singapore Glee competition and kudos to everyone who performed :) And they had a photobooth there woohoo! I love photobooths and photographs so :-)

Watched Sound of Music last Sunday with my mum and Lisa, the children are so adorable and I really admire their acting! (Suddenly reminded of 1 Tim 4:12 - Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young... (just the first half of the verse) ) It's an awesome musical, not like the usual ones I watch, but it's worth the money and time to go catch it and it's even more 'relatable' if you grew up with it! :) The nuns singing and chanting almost put me to sleep though, you know how they sing and some parts are a little slow but yups that's Sound of Music for me :) And after that we had a 9.45pm dinner HAHAHA last customers of Ajisen Ramen that night!

Went for lunch with Boon on Saturday. Since I wanted to eat cheap food (which would mean at a coffeeshop), he brought me to this duck shop at Serangoon opposite Nex. I tell you, this is gonna be my favourite duck rice shop in Serangoon now. The portion is big (just look at the amount of rice they give..) and the duck is not hard everything is just yumssss! But you have to wait a short while because I think there'll be queues.. Oh and some nights I come back late and just tell my parents I'm not eating dinner at home. However I've discovered the joy of waiting till 8pm at AMK Hub for food. You see, when it comes to a certain time, some shops tend to discount their food in order to hurry clear it. It's a cheap thrill for me because I love food and there are discounts hahaha!

yucks idk why this photo is so blur but yum yum :)

Went skating on Monday with games comm and Ben and Lisa (no they weren't extras in case you thought that way haha, it's just easier to just call them games comm). It was an exhaustingly exciting day out! Go try skating with your friends, it's really enjoyable. All of them can skate so well and so fast, then there's me. And I fell down because I asked Joe to pull me more quickly and I ended up ramming into the wall HAHAH! Poor us also had to walk around JEM many times trying to find a place for lunch because there were queues everywhere! :( Finally settled for Sushi Express yum yum :) Headed to Jasmine's place and after her countless snapchats of her dog, we finally got to meet Heidi! She's super cute lah :) Well thanks for the amazing day guys! Can't wait for the next time we go out again! 

Went to develop my second batch of film last week too. Didn't turn out as what I desired it to be so kinda bumped about it :( Will be uploading it soon! Till then, see y'all around! :)

In Y2, there's no more "hell week" because every week is "hell week" so I guess I'm right to say we have "hell year" in Y2 right? Hahaha... I'm honestly exhausted from all the work already. There's at least 1 submission due every week, and I just really need strength!

Amidst the crazy school workload, I'm thankful for my Hipsters! Had my birthday lunch with them 2 weekends back and we had Lao Beijing buffet which was just awesome because we ordered like 15 trays of XLBs and sat there for a whole 2 hours just eating non-stop! And then I tried out my first real pool game, 2 bucks only at Cine cheap or what right hahaha! Then we just played arcade games till the sun set~~~ They surprised me this week on Monday by putting a pair of sneakers in my bag while I was gone and I'm really surprised with it, it's a Vans Beatles sneakers and the prints on the shoes are really really cute! And they made me a scrapbook filled with so many sweet messages and memories, I almost teared reading them! You tell me, am I blessed or am I blessed to have them in my life? I know you may think I'm crazy, talking about them almost in each of my post but you have no idea how grateful I am to them - they are the genuine ones I can rely on in this crazy hectic course and I really hope our friendship will withstand the test of time and we can all grow old together~~~ Yippee haha.

yups boon shaved his head during Hair for Hope!

Attended this tall guy's POP last Sunday and it was pretty enjoyable! Just watching the graduation ceremony itself was interesting but the human jam after that was horrible and I don't know why people say the smell will kill you but I thought it was alright, maybe my nose has problems haha! From being 'Joe's friend' to now like an elder brother to me, I thank God you've come into our lives! Yay looking forward to our Friday lunch :) Headed to Habitat Coffee with the twins after that, it was really a race against time because the cafes open only at 10.30am and church started at 11am so in the end, I had to take away my food and eat it in church :( But it's really nice! Can't wait to go Wheeler's Yard with them soon! :-)

Lisa's having a concert this Sunday and for the first time ever I'm gonna watch her perform on stage! This girl sure has the talent in singing and dancing and I'm sure she's gonna be a star during her performance! Not to mention her best friend Jasmine, and Joe and Nat, ok the entire games comm lol, are gonna watch her to! Exciting~~~

Okay, I think I shall stop here and go do my work now. I really need to get some work done :( Bye!

I haven't blogged for so long BOOOO :-( So, first week of school after the holidays is over! Hmm, guess it's pretty alright. I shared with my DG on how I have loads of work to do but I don't feel that pressured and I'm kinda slack about it, it's like I do my part but then I don't know if I'm too slack because even during this busy period, I'm going to sleep at like 10+ at night when my friends are sleeping way later... Oh well, this could be a good thing after all haha!

Anyway I haven't done a proper birthday post so here it goes~~~ Thank You Jesus for giving me 18 years! I think I'm truly blessed with the people in my life - Joe (love him for doing these mini surprises, like last year it was the balloon at my stairs & it happened during the intense haze period!!) who planned this really simple surprise during camp along with our families and my grandaunt+granduncle haha, and to my DG who are so sweet they gave me surprises during and after camp, as well as my other friends who wished me and all! Had a June lunch with the best pest, really thankful to have her in my life! I think sometimes we expect a lot for our birthdays, but I think the best birthdays are the simplest birthdays :)

Had camp comm dinner last Saturday and it was madness! We, as in the youths AND adults, played dance central HAHAHA! It was just hilarious watching the adults dance and see them really let loose as compared to their serious selves in church... Then the twins stayed over and we watched 2 tragic dog movies and let's just say real men cry lah heehee.

camp comm + games comm 2014 (missing Jasmine & Uncle Christmas!)

Really gonna try to blog more regularly from now onwards, or at least that's what I tell myself every time I blog hah! Oh oh! I'm heading to Cambodia in September woohooo~~~~ Going there for a Youth Expedition Programme under my school, but I don't know which district we're heading to. Great news, Geena is also going so it's like a Cambodia reunion! (We were buddies the entire trip so it'll be awesome going back there together once more!) And the entire Hipsters group will be going as well so I'm foreseeing it to be a crazy trip! But it'll be 2 weeks away from home, so I really don't know whether I'll get homesick.. Oh well, hang in there guys! We're about 2 months away from holiday! :-)

Hello guys! Haven't updated this space in quite sometime, and I'm finally done with all the camps this June! Being involved in both the retreats the past week was super fulfilling but now that's they are over, it feels so empty :( plus I think I'm gonna have major withdrawal symptoms from the camp games comm group haha!

Sisters' Retreat was last Friday to Saturday, yes it was only a 1 day 1 night retreat because we were super pressed for time this year. But well better to have a short retreat than to just scrap it right! Thank God everything went smoothly and the whole time we seemed to be eating haha! Thank God for the potluck dinner, everyone brought scrumptious food and I'm pretty sure I went into a food coma for a short while haha! The workshop by Amanda was awesome, really got me thinking about how I should love everyone even if it may be difficult. Really need God to help me with this :( Games went fine as well, a little sad the weather was kinda gloomy... But oh well, this was my first SR and also my first time being part of the SR comm! Good experience and I'm looking forward to next year's SR already!

 lol pumping air mattresses 

 potluck dinner~~~

burger king lunch~~~ so much eating i cannot take it

BSC Camp Encountering God 2014. I don't even know where to start! Ok, advance party. My family was part of the committee this year, so we had to go up first to settle refreshments and set up the place. This meant heading to the supermarket in Malacca and just piling the trolley with biscuit tins and lots of coffee tea milo haha! I think the Malaysians queueing behind us may have thought we were stalking up for the haze or something hahaha! Headed to Jonker Street at night for some chendol and shopping, was a really good experience with the advance party! Yeohs' and Wongs' and Aunty Louisa squeezed into a 3 bedroom apartment for one night, super crazy but so much fun as well!

 tangkak beef noodles!

 lift selfie with advance party! 

Well, to my camp games comm, or as we call ourselves Titer (the math symbol hahaha) - I really have withdrawal symptoms from you guys! I can't thank God enough for being in this year's games comm because we've all bonded over the span of the past 2 months ++ and throughout camp. The whole planning span has been a blast because we're just so crazy, always laughing and being retarded! Really proud all our games went as planned and to manage this huge camp group as compared to the other years is really a challenge! We can pat ourselves on our shoulders because this year's games were awesome (as heard from the feedback from the camp) and everyone had loads of fun laughing! Still feels kinda surreal that we've already ended camp and all our games meetings are no longer gonna happen :( But I'm really super proud of us and I can't ask for a better games comm! Plus all our inside jokes and secrets hehehehe ;) 

To my dearest DG, thanks for everything! It may not be full strength but glad that most of us could make it for camp! Really blessed to be part of this DG and I'm so thankful we are all comfortable with one another! Thank you for the mini surprise as well, since Thursday I've been filled with surprises from the pre-birthday celebration to coming to my room at midnight and at yf again! And to the youths, thanks for celebrating my 18th birthday with me at midnight! Sorry I was really tired and groggy, I couldn't take it I had to sleep haha but really touched that all of you came up and ate my birthday cake too hehe! And to my parents & Aunty Poh Suan & Uncle Richard & Grandaunty & Granduncle who came over as well to my room and buying the huge banana chocolate cake from Secret Recipe (which is like my favourite cake!!) I'm really touched :') It was a simple birthday celebration but the company was really warm and nice :) 

ian's face hahahaha

Well, this has been a really long post. I need to go and sleep now. I shall update this space tomorrow when I have the time again. Camp comm + Games comm gonna have dinner next Saturday I'm so excited! Looking forward to next Saturday. Plus, Jasmine and Joe are gonna stayover so yayyyy party time! Hehe ok goodnight :-)

hello friends! well, 7th week of sem 2.2 has ended and we're just a week away from the holidays!

i think the past week has really been challenging physically and emotionally. we had to submit our feature writing assignment and i felt that it was really difficult for me because i had some trouble coming up with captivating sentences.. however submitting it was obviously a huge burden off my chest! i also had a japanese test on Friday, and by the way japanese IS class is over! no more having to go to school on fridays anymore yay~~~ ok so for my test, the teacher only gave us the katakana chart the previous time and a lot of us failed. however for the last re-test, she gave us a hiragana chart as well which is like WHAT ALL ANSWERS MACHIAM GIVEN AWAY! plus, my jap oral test went awesome as well so friday was just 'blessed cheryl' day haha! thank You so much Jesus!

the weekend was spent in church yay! i love church so much :) can't remember if i mentioned this previously, but i find myself looking forward to church more as each week passes and it's just amazing! i'm believing that Jesus is working something in my life, something so mindblowing and that i'm just gonna be so richly blessed! spent the weekend tying up loose ends for the sisters' retreat as well as church camp games! really excited for next week, it's definitely gonna be an enjoyable week being with the whole church and just immersing in God's presence! :)

 hahaha i got a selfie stick!

super proud to be part of games comm

sunday night was spent with the hipsters (minus Daryl...) and it was a great start to another week of school! it was kinda like a belated birthday dinner for XJ and we headed to Saveur for dinner! it was so good, that's gonna be one of my favourite restaurants now on! had some duck main course, and all 4 of us had the same thing hah! well i think he was utterly shocked when we gave him the blazer because he didn't expect, his eyes were like o.o hahah! guess all of us are really really happy he loves the present because we spent like hours trying to find it.. and then yesterday when we passed him the CD, after casually asking him if the CD design was nice and when he flipped over to read the details of the CD cover he was super shocked again hahah! those eyes were once again like O.O but yup blessed birthday you 4 hao :-)

Spent my afternoon having lunch at SMU yay I love SMU pasta! It has been a good day, God is faithful, we're halfway through the week woohoo!~~~

Oh my goodness it's finally Friday and it's been an insane week! Haven't had the time to sit down and properly type out on entry. I need to complete 2 assignments next week so really hoping I have the motivation to just sit down and do my work.. Hope everyone's been hanging in there! Seems as though quite a few of us are falling sick but yay, I'm glad I got to bless 2 of my close friends this week with 凉茶 haha!

Anyway, happy happy 19th birthday you 4 hao! I think you were really surprised with our surprise and I know you absolutely love it as much as we loved preparing the board for you! I think that surprise was a good one for you while we were all in the midst of completing Teenvasion! Hipsters love you forever :-)

Really glad Mercy Min's 'Game of Life' went smoothly last Saturday, basically we played a live version of the board game 'Game of Life' and we kind of twisted it to raise the awareness of social issues locally and the role cards people had were certain roles people in Singapore are eg. a blind handicapped man or a high-flying pilot. I think it really got yfers thinking and it's my prayer that they will continue to want to lend a helping hand to those who need it or reach out to those who need to be reached in the community! 

The week has been kinda good I guess, with rough moments here and there like my occasional stress-break-out moments haha but I'm good :) Submitted my form for Cambodia today and guess what, everyone in Hipsters signed up! Wasn't expecting this so I'm really praying that we can all get through the interviews together then we can all go Cambodia together woohoo~~~ I'm looking forward to next Friday because it's finally my last Japanese class and I can't wait to get it over and done with! If I pass that module it's good enough because Japanese is tough to master within mere 6 lessons.. But yups, it's Friday night and I deserve a good break from this laptop so I shall go bond with my TV now goodbye hehe :) 

 1st time on the way home with deals! coincidental meet
