I Got Baptized!

Heyy….Good news! I got baptized on the 20th March!! It was the happiest day of my life, as I finally got baptized after waiting out millions of, years? No, months probably. Anyway, that day was pretty exciting. Guess what? I got baptized with my BFF!!! I am so happy. Most of my friends that were from my batch got baptized as well, at least I think so. From church, not school, I am closer to my church friends than I am with my school friends.

Confession time, I chose to wear a dress after baptism. It wasn’t that bad, but I still felt awkward wearing a long one. HEHE, most people just can’t imagine me in a dress, well, its mostly my fault, because I used to be very boyish and being feminine was quite alien to me.

On the whole, I am very happy that I obeyed God and got baptized.

Life, Not Exactly Like A Dream.

I have always secretly loved love stories. But they never come true. Unless we still lived in a village full of mayhem, where there is a castle, or maybe that could even be a fairytale. Thats where there is war over princesses, or the princess runs away from an arranged marriage, or the prince rebels against his father’s wishes and marries a village girl instead. Well, you get the idea. But it always has the “moonlit dancing spot” and the “best kiss that gets your head up in the clouds” part in the story. Well, in the first place, Singapore hardly actually has a deserted spot that is peaceful, so forget it.

Well, the people in the villages find a way to cope pretty well. That is, of course, if the kingdoms surrounding it somehow left it alone. Imagine, living in a rural village being cropped in by acres and acres of forests. Wonderful streams and valleys, waterfalls with a secret hideout behind it. Best of all, love relationships.

I have always been a practical girl, I never actually got so engrossed in gossips or rumors. The word ‘boyfriend’ or ‘BGR’ is hardly in my vocabulary. Only my close friends know that I can actually talk about it. The outside world hardly knows that I am thinking about it. Haha

Talking about that, the topic is barely discussed as one of our topics of interest. Why bother waste the time when there are no boys around to fantasize about? I’d rather do something else fruitful. School life is interesting, especially since I am doing mostly what I wanted to do all my life. Well, maybe most of my life. Music is emphasized upon!!! I love it! I am so glad to have a group of four girls, including me, to hang out with.

Secondary exams are hard though, but i’ll study hard.

__ A Very Tall Girl __

A Whole New World

Well, one year has passed and Tanjong Katong Girl’s School has started to make Primary School seem like a kindergarten. Haha, the pace here is intense, but I still like the pace, although, some teachers are really boring. When I mean really boring means that when the teacher’s back is turned, the amount of paper being thrown around the classroom to each other is enough to kill the environment. On the whole, school life is starting to be a beautiful picture being drawn out for me stroke by stroke. The colour is already etched wondrously across my mind, all that is left to do is to play  it in life, sometimes painting storm clouds across the sun, momentarily causing gloom to upset me. But in the end, it will be a beautiful scene to treasure.

However, it was not even the end of the first month when cat fights already came in. Crazy isn’t it? Its the hard truth. Its all about leadership crises. To top it off, my God family does not even treats me like a part of them, especially the sisters. Then people close to me starts to go through hard times. Then a girl in my class is really ‘retarded’, or maybe she has extreme mood swings thats really weird and sometimes scary. Especially when her dog died, but lets not go into that shall we? About the hard times my friends are going through is really unacceptable, and really hard to talk about, so don’t even make me write it down.

By the way, a few boys are starting to get interested in me and its puzzling!!! Whats so fascinating about me? Everywhere I go, there has to be at least one girl thats prettier than me! Whats going on in the boys’ minds is something I really don’t want to know. The scary part is that valentines is coming and believe it or not, I have received a few anonymous valentines before and I got really, really shocked. So, how the boys are going to plant the valentines now is hopefully impossible since I am in a girl’s school…Unless… Still weird. Usually boys like long haired girls, I have average long hair that looks crazy on me!!! And I don’t bother about makeup and whether I look neat or not… Wait, I don’t even know why I am so bothered by this, usually, I am not!! Last but not least, I am taller than almost everyone!! If I am short, well, maybe, but I am approximately 1.71 cm tall at the age of thirteen!

HAHA, a growing up girl. (Emotionally, I hope, not physically anymore)

The Songs I Sang in Megalife camp.

This is a song in Riverlife Church at Megalife camp Noise? and got attached to it… Enjoy!!!

Hosanna from Hillsong too.

At the Cross

Desert Song

The last song was Amazing Grace.

I Just Love… Love Stories

I had just watched Rapunzel a tangled tale recently, and I fell hard for it. Flynn Rider is just so charming! Here is a music video that they sang together in a boat.

Nice isn’t it? Beautiful! I am going to remember it for the rest of my life. It will make a really wondrous couple song that I would love to sing with my fiancée. There I go again, foreseeing the future… Haha.

Rapunzel totally made super long hair totally gorgeous for once. But on second thought, I would rather keep my hair at a reasonable length thats neither too long nor short. I am kind of regretting cutting my hair to shoulder length when my hair was pretty long. But on second thought, it was rather hot those few months so I should not regret too much.

Sometimes, maybe all the time, I truly wish that there is such thing as romantic dating. The part about living happily ever after is a really hopeful wish, that the world is not full of divorce-es and broken hearts but ever lasting love. And a true loves kiss is really hard to find.

But in the end, I really do wonder whether these things really did happen in the olden days of large scenery and wide open seas…

Family Penang Trip

As some of my friends know, I have just went and came back from Penang. We stayed at Hard Rock Hotel. All I knew was that there was noise almost everywhere I was. So classical music lovers or country rock music lovers like me will never come to appreciate that place. Practically its because I dont really like the constant noise. However, the swimming pool is totally awesome… I still need to work off that extra weight that I dont need… Haha

So Far, These Are the Things Happening.

I have decided that I will go to a GIRLS school and I hope that my first choice will be accepted immediately!!!

Learning how to compose a music score for the violin and piano and managed to complete a full set today! Hooray!

Hope that my best friend in church would like to try it… Thinking of inviting her over to my house again.

I just came back from Penang yesterday and I am totally excited about my coming church camp, Megalife!!!

Updates on my family trip to Penang will be on the next post.

Something Funny At Dinner

Usually, my brother would have a problem finishing his meals. Today we bought in our meals from the food court. There were many dishes and my brother set them aside, intending to leave them for the last and therefore consuming his rice first. However, half-way through the supposedly long meal, my brother sighed,” Mommy, I can’t finish it.”

Being the sister that I was, I immediately took away his side dishes and acted like I was about to eat them all up. He panicked and looked at mommy with pleading eyes. However,

“but if you can’t finish your rice, you would not be able tofinish your dishes!” exclaimed the mom.

“No! I would!” Replied the desperate boy, as he eye his dishes in the dangerous hands of the sister.

“But you have to finish your rice,” said mommy.

Sighing, my brother looked down at his rice and said,” Thousands of rice….”

Which of course, was met with laughter around the dining room.

I Just Don’t Like The Situation…

Things are getting a little complicated now.

Reuben is really, really getting rebellious these few weeks. The look of contempt is there most of the time and he is getting on my nerves. Ruth is really cranky since her rashes kick in with the contribution of the heat here in Singapore. She keeps screaming most of the time and it drives me nuts. She insists on getting her own way most of th e time! Their behavior is driving me to my grave and it seems that they are not helping the endless situation and non-stop cycle of depression and exhaustion.

Just need to concentrate on science PSLE tomorrow before I think anymore about it.
