i am such a mess. if only i cease to exist.





i hate...



i yelled and i screamed and i cried.



exchange anyone?

reply me!


i get highly IRRITATED when people dont reply my smses!!


if you can and you saw my message why cant you reply?!
causing unnecessary trouble only.




ahhhhhh!!
just ranting.

thebravearealwaysstubborn.


spent my xmas... sleeping. haha. ko-ed that for the first time, had 4 calls and i didnt wake.


woke up to delicious smell, sis bf cooked dinner.
pasta + cheesy garlic mussels + salad complete with discovery channel and family.
nice :)

sis bf thinks i'm a walking ghost. lollllll.



i'm a little sianed doing cards already. this year is like the most massive cards production ever. lollll. but wellll.. :)


been long since no cg before reporting time. heh. shall reward myself with pearly soya tmr. :)



i'm turning old, officially.
must be nights and nights of sleeplessness and all those, shoulders and back been hurting like crazy these past few days. this morning woke up with bad aches all over. not helping when i'm always carrying such heavy stuff on my shoulders. :(

felt as if i went for a workout or something. lol. need a massage badly!

merry xmas. :)


when pastor finished preaching, i teared.
hardened hearts, refusal... vs soft hearts...



"christmas is all about giving Jesus space in your heart"
---------------

after all the whinings, realised it is actually quite a good thing to be busy during xmas. :)




back to busyyyyy.

life as abandoned kids.


so my mum is in hongkong now for 7 days.and she abandoned 2 kids here in sg.


life kinda sucks without mama around.but its definitely x1000 more peaceful.and i'm enjoying it before she comes back (lol).



so that means.. now everyday i gotta do chores.

ytd i cleaned the floor, my sis laundry.
today i laundry, my sis floor.


i hate cleaning the floor. its my most hated chore ever. i would rather wash bowls.but i realise like that ah... alternating, wed+fri would be my turn, my sis only got thurs left before mama comes back. :(


thats kinda sad.

in the span of a few days,
tingting mopped the floor, changed my bedsheets, cleaned the toilet, did the laundry, going to wash my bedsheets and hang it to dry (eh queen size bedsheet okay very hard to hang please).



okay la. doesnt sound v wow. but then its alot for miss zhang tingting who is pretty much very pampered okay. lol.


and actually its pretty much exciting to see the house clean. lol.


i dont even want to start saying just how disappointed i am....






in liverpool..



sigh.

normalcy.


sometimes i think even i myself dont understand my thoughts and feelings.


just pray for some normalcy and simplicity now.



it is way beyond saturation...



... not good enough?

.................................................

stars vs coff


heh. i called changi airport starbucks at 6am in the morning to ask for the prices for 10 drinks. hahaha. i think its so funny.


looking at the mess in my room, realised what kinda person i am.
-did marketing, notes strewn all across my bed and floor.
-continued with cards making, materials occupy another half of bed n floor.
lol. ended up with a reallllll mess to clear up.


but happyyyyy! managed to accomplish my jobs.


running on very low sleep level now. slept only 0.5h ytd, now completely no have.



one more photog portfolio and done for half of the sem!
though it doesnt seem like there can be much rest, but!




----------------------

was a little disappointed with myself today actually. thought that i had already given up long before i tried, and its negative! if i could have been more positive abt it, it could have been better. but well. its a lesson learnt. reflected upon myself. i will do better next time!





now a cuppa starbucks would be good!

wong cek ark.


THANK YOU WONG KT. FOR THESE FEW NIGHTS OF SUPPORT.
THOUGH YOU ARE TIRED AND ALL.
AND EVEN THOUGH I ANYHOW REPLY YOU, YOU ARE STILL THERE!
AND WHEN I :( YOU PEI-ED ME.

haha. ohmy so touching.




k back to my world of marketing mix and branding strategies. :( sad stuff.
thank God i'm not in business course.

felt that i really got up on the wrong side of bed today.majorly.

felt so lang bei today out in the public.had one of the worst mornings ever.wanted so much to just stand there and cry..


runawayyyyyy.

Sigh.smile ting smileeeeee go and get your As today!

jitters


danny yeo's presentations ALWAYS give me the jitters.
i ALWAYS feel super nervous before my turn.
(especially for tmr..!)


dreadsssss..
can i not present tomorrow? :(



but its in a good way la i guess. his criteria and all always challenge me to get out of my comfort zone and try things that i normally dont do.




(prays that i do well tomorrow)

i'm doing anything but.

ivegotabackbonestrongerthanyours.


i think i have a serious serious problem.

remember the personality test did in class, "sees much but shares little".

but i think its really "don't know how to express" alot more.

so many times i have views and all, but i dont know how to express. and things come out incoherent.

so you'll need lots of patience talking to tingting.

lol. okkkk. still learning alright.

-----------------------------------

i think even as we all grow up, learning to take initiative and being responsible is so important.

because alot of times it is not about you anymore.

not just out of obligation, but a sincere initiative that you want to do something.

------------------------------------


the heart.
most important.


last lap of the race.


funny how the older we get, the more is required of us.
learning to add value, and be of use to anyone/anything.



last lap of the race.
thoughts of giving up, thoughts of doubts.
shall all go away when the finishing line is in view.


time for that last dash, last shot.
give it all we've got.
before results is decided and prizes given out.


that amazing last surge of energy and strength from somewhere.



we can do it!
last chance for 2009.

questions
doubts
reasonings...


kept asking myself.. why?


have no idea... i have no answer...

just keep going... keep going...


Well...

whines.

sometimes you just find friends in the most unusual way ever :)

-------------------------

i'm having a major major whiny mood now.

feet tired and sore cant find clothes dont know what to wear tmr my mum intrusive very tired very hungry still dont know what to wear tmr havent done a few things the week ahead looks scary enough dont wanna do alot of things still must do havent been to art friend wanna buy stuff but no time or too tired to go down dont know how still got very minute stuff to worry abt so this is why i cant stand myself sometimes dreads ... dreads .... dont know how dont know how need encouragement and a pat on the back would appreciate a nice warm hug now hai and i still dont know what to wear tmr



K ting stop it. Coming week will be great.

people move on.

had supper with them.


it was hilarioussssss as usual.


and while on the way home, i asked him,
what would happen to him if his car and all these were to disappear?


he replied,
i would cry and run to God.


and just when he was about to say something more, we were interrupted.



but well... it has been interesting so far to see his decisions in life and what he chases after.
but ultimately.. hmmm.. lol.





goodnighttttttt.

restored.

when i was faithless, You were ever so faithful.

when my heart gave out signals of breaking down, You were there to comfort, and made me whole again.

when no one else understands me, You were there. Your still small voice.

when i fail again and again, You picked me up and told me its alright, lets try again.

Truly blessed today. Touched.

letting go.

once again, i've proved myself wrong.

and reminded again of how important it is, what i've learnt in junwei's class.

i dont want to go through all of these again.
cannot let them get the better of me.

i am going to change. i'm not gonna let this affect me anymore. i've gotta stay strong and not go back to square one.

God, less of me. I'm sorry. I'm always failing. Hear me now...

wegrewuptogether.









my crazeh cousins with me. 19, 18, 13.

had housewarming with the relatives. really happy to have such cousins around.
grew up together, argued together, laughed together.
+ 2 other male cousins whom we are closer with.
though they are largely jap influenced now, but still thankful for them :)


sis ran 21km ytd.
the sight of her limping really cracks me up.


xmas soon.
gonna start on my massive cards production soon.



manyyyyyyyyyyy thoughts going thru my mind. sigh.

未来?

understanding.
empathy.



cos people are always too quick to judge.
cos all they want is to tell you what to do.
cos in their eyes, you dont know what to do.



alot of times, we know the solution to the problem.
but we just need someone there, to listen, to understand, to empathize.



not just on the surface, but wholeheartedly.


-----------------------------------

还没好好地感受 雪花绽放的气候
我们一起颤抖会更明白什么是温柔
还没跟你牵着手走过荒芜的沙丘
可能从此以后学会珍惜天长和地久

有时候有时候
我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候
没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候
宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透
也许你会陪我看细水长流



how pretty chinese is.

-----------------------------------

just what am i afraid of?

end.


is there a magic spell that i can cast?
so that theres more time..
so that my assignments and projects and all can instantly be done..

(i'm in a drag my words mood now.)

nightmares.

I have a habit of lying in bed and planning the next day properly before i sleep. Eg what to wear what time must i be at where etc.

But recently after i fall asleep, i've been getting the scariest nightmares ever. About all my plans being screwed up in the most drama way. Like all sorts of impossible stuff happening. And its more than a few times.

And then i'll wake up wondering if its true. How weird...

sees much but shares little.

today, perhaps the thing that i was most impacted by was this line:



“真正了解自己的人,可以让自己不偏向任何特性。”



hmmm? food for thought.


but its easier said than done?


interesting.

i dont know what to feel anymore....

:(

to the love of my life.


dearest beloved liverpool,


I have been the most ardent fan since 2002, when michael owen first won my heart over. since then, i have never looked back or regretted my decision of supporting the club. It has been bittersweet with lots of ups and downs, personal experiences that i doubt any one who isnt a fan will understand.

The nights when I still crawl out of bed to watch late 3.30am matches though i have school the next day at 7.20am. Nights when i fall asleep in front of the TV watching yet another goalless champions league match. Late at night when we won and I couldn't care less and screamed and shouted and jumped around my living room, even screaming out of my balcony once. All the roller coaster rides. No, no one will ever get what I mean unless you are a liverpool fan.

It was like a dream come true when i had the chance to fly to london and take a train to liverpool to visit the almighty Anfield and watch you guys playing live. You simply have no idea how i still cherish that very trip till now. And i have every intention of going back and experiencing it again.

So now, please tell me why, after 19 years of exile, we are still left waiting and wanting? Sometimes excuses can hold up for a while.. but it has been 19 years. It is 20 years soon. And yes, the mark of every liverpool fan is their faith and their support of the team through thick and thin. but the inner most desire.. the ultimate glory..

And great, we just crashed out of Champs League. the trophy we so gloriously won in 2005. so.. just tell me.. how can i keep my faith? that feeling is almost indescribable. that disappointment.. sigh.

Lastly, just dug out a quote that i found back in 2006: "Supporting Liverpool is glorying in umpteen trophies, savouring the memories of those you've seen won in the flesh, those you've only heard on a crackling radio, those you know will come again in time. If you want quick fix football, go and support Chelsea - they need it according to their own manager. If you want something you can feel part of, something that is truly the people's club, then hang on, by your fingernails sometimes, and wait for the results. They'll come, and I'll savour them all the more for the waiting."

oh, not to mention the constant mocking and laughing coming from other sides of the camp. those who belong to the ManUre and money-faced side. oh the day. when it finally comes, that we can finally proudly show off for once.

Bittersweet.

Please. It is only November. Let the remaining 6 months count.



Your truly disappointed, but still keeping on fan,
Tingting.

it is 2.41am now i really wanna sleeeeeeeep...


i am very sad because my internet every night also got problem and i just finished what i was supposed to finish a few hours ago. :(

i am also very sad because this week i seem to break my very good habit of sleeping early and waking up on time.


i feel so unsettled now.




k i shall go redeem my sleep now before i fall asleep in front of my faithful but super dirty mac.


superpowers.

Photobucket

haha. this was funny. made me laugh out loud.





had a long day.
lesson (it was good, own weakness n strengths..)
lunch (it was hilarious, and very interesting..)
botanic garden (way fun but tiring to the mxm, photography is chimology..)
town (darkcherry is quite yummy..)
wake


interesting with lots of little thought-provoking stuff in between.
thoughts that i'm too tired to think abt, so wrote it down to revisit them someday.


tomorrow's another long day.
seriously i have so many things i need to do..
finding myself needing to be at peace and prioritize well..




elearning is such a scam sometimes...



reallyyyyyyyy looking forward to monday - rest day. :)

oh yeah!




its a wonder how he can make me laugh/giggle/smile with myself at my macbook's screen.

he brings such joy into my life!



and its so funny how his lyrics actually doesnt really make sense most of the time. imagine someone telling you that she likes you. and you tell her you wanna listen to rock n roll and go protect the earth tgt. lol.



heeee. love him. :) :D


haaa in the end i'm blogging.


  • you've got issues.. seriously. time to take check and stop blaming everything else. let the walls come down. dont be afraid of being corrected.
  • balance. finding the balance.
  • cold rainy days = perfect for rainy day playlists.
  • how do i do this? how do i navigate?
  • have a serious case of missing black/blue pens. they ALWAYS go missing no matter how many times i restock them.
  • need to find time to clear my room and do up the walls.
  • 卢广仲 can cheer up the sianest/saddest day. fave playlist at the moment.

  • :( okay im going off now.

my heart was full.


went to the old folks today. (and this is when kt would come in to be v pro cos hes so good with aunties n uncles.)


it was kinda the first. and that feeling is sooooo good. felt so fulfilled.


left with nothing, it is the simplest things that can bring joy.
even one packet of biscuits or milo.
or simply singing songs together with us.


their smiles.. :)
my heart went out to them.


and in the end adriel asked if our hearts were full.
yesssss it was full. :)

2:53 a.m.

yadayadayadayada.


sometimes my mind and heart go yadayadayadayada.



but i'm learning to not give in and listen to them anymore.



because i no longer live for myself anymore... what with everything that happened. this truth dawned upon me even harder. dying to myself...



2009 is definitely not the sweetest or the easiest but its definitely experiential and beneficial. even when at times it doesnt seem so.


You.. i still choose You. thanks for putting such a great leader over my life. :)

these two made my otherwise :( night a little brighter! ichat with kt & LGZ's new album.. kt was doing his usual ichat effects stunt. haha. (ignore me)



i am reallyyyy nervous about tmr's presentation. gosh.

lying on my new queen sized bed=shiokness.

i have a few bruises on my leg which i have no idea where did they come from.


and it really rocks to have your own room huh?



okay i'm really tired. havent recovered fully from all the shebang moving stuff thing.


shall attempt to wake up early tmr morning to conquer the world again.
busy busy serious week ahead. good monday=good start.
jiayou ting!

new house. :)

wow..

today has been like super eventful from the moment i woke up till the end got like sooo many things happening.


so yes. now it is 1am and finally everything is settled down nice and proper. :)


i'm loving my new house.


my wardrobe is biggg though. and i categorized everything alr. currently the skirts section and the jackets/blazers section need more input. heee. and i need more dresses. (btw i'm v sad. because i have such a big wardrobe, all of them bully me and put all the winter clothes with me, so the last section is all taken up by ugly winter wear. :( )



i loveeeee my big mirror!


it has been so tiring that its unbelievable. moving house is like... erm. 1 weeks worth of gym or something. loll. and all the mopping, vacuuming, wiping, carrying, moving. wah man.


okayy my room is really pretty. :)


and i have a brown bed instead cos my mama forgot to buy black ones. :( so sad.


dont really know how am i feeling now..


but welllll... what you've said will sink in.


the ups and downs and ups and downs.




lifeeee and its complexitiessss.



if only everything was easy as 1, 2, 3.
and theres not much attached with anything.
and all those stuff all those lessons all those....
it seems like more than just 1, 2, 3,
there are like decimal points 1.2123/2.3435 and complicating maths attached to it.



but well. all will still be good in the end.
need a true friend.



goodnight.

笑忘歌




"....唱一首属于我们的歌
让我们的伤都慢慢慢的愈合
明天我又会是全新的 OH

青春是手牵手坐上了
都不回头的列车
总有一天我们都老了
不会遗憾就OK了

伤心的 都忘记了
只记得这首笑忘歌
那一天天空很高风很清澈
从头到脚趾都快乐

我和你 都约好了
要再唱这首笑忘歌
这一生只愿只要平凡快乐
谁说这样不伟大呢

自己和自己打一架了
想通想不通反正就是这样了
不会再流泪更多了

有多少错误重蹈覆辙
有多少苦痛还不是都过来了
想起来甚至还会笑呢 OH

青春是人生的实验课
错也错的很值得
就算某天唱起这首歌
眼眶会有一点湿了...."




只有自己,能还自己快乐。

grace.
even when all around us is a mess.





faith.
trust and keep walking.

zzzzz.

i am like reaping what i sowed last time.

Now no matter how early i sleep, i still feel so omgly tired in the morning/in class.

How. :(


there is a price to pay for everything. living a life for God takes much more courage than i ever know.. everytime when i feel like giving up.. it is doing things that seems absurd to people and you dont even know how to explain.. it is painfully and hurtfully cutting away every single thing that is not of God's but of our own... and that is probably what hurts the most. because its a decision we make ourselves that people cant decide for us. we choose our own paths. the narrow way.




at the end of the day, i know it will be worth it.
at the end of the day, Your love and grace.. is overflowing and more than enough for me..



i have been talking lesser and lesser. this is bad.. but still..


:)

i'm hungry.


sometimes good. sometimes bad.

sigh...





havent pack yet. though shifting in less than a week. my room is in a real mess. scary.

earlybird.

finished the 2nd week of school. and seriously its kinda the first time i ever felt so ?? during lessons. the stuff being taught and all..


chinese can be quite chim after all..


but stillllllll... after 2 weeks of discipline, i am VERY proud to say that...
i havent been late for class!! in fact, most of the time i was early by 10mins. theres once that i even reach at 8.35am. hahahaha.



:)


okayyyy i am slowly but surely changing okayyyyy.. :)



---------------

edit. just right after i blogged this, surina said this,

surina: how would i know how chim can your course be..
its chinese studies..
only tough part is the thousand word essay..
if not, what else?
hahahha


ifjoejfioqvmngqepoefqke.
DONT STEREOTYPE CHINESE!
we are very much part of Singapore's strategy for globalisation OKAY! lol!

did i mention how proud i am of zimu? he is so amazing with all those art stuff..! seen him drawing and all since sec 1 and hes really so talented. really looking forward to his solo exhibition in the future. :)

amazing huh. known him for 7 years alr. my ex-monitor together. he used to bully me ALL THE TIME. and i used to hate him so so much in lower sec. even cried before so many times. lol. and it fills me with so much joy seeing him doing what he is best at and doing it so well. :)


amazing how little efforts actually go a long way. :)




really glad too to have YDL and val around.. :)

19岁。


Photobucket

19岁,代表了什么?

今天看到一个小孩,熟睡在妈妈的怀里。可爱的脸,躺在妈妈的肩上。非常地安全... 我的心笑了。在他还小时,都一直会有妈妈撑腰,有妈妈的保护。


相差19岁的我,不再怎么可能拥有他的世界了。
成长意味着什么?


我的成长路上,是怎么样的?

很多路,是要自己走的。
很多时候,在最彷徨的时候,是不会有人在身边的。
很多的夜里,最深的痛,只有自己能明白。
很多的经验,是要彻彻底底地伤透了,才会体会到它可以给的力量。
在很多的泪水中,才会真正明白很多人生的道理。
在心里乱到极点时,真正的平静才能涌入。


前面一定还有很多未知的路,需要自己走的吧?



勇气,你每天都陪着我好吗?




(我没有在emo,不要乱想。只是情绪比较多而已。)

有些路啊,只能一个人走



我们拼命地学习如何成功冲刺一百米,但是没有人教过我们:你跌倒时,怎么跌得有尊严;你的膝盖破得血肉模糊时,怎么清洗伤口、怎么包扎;你痛得无法忍受时,用什么样的表情去面对别人;你一头栽下时,怎么治疗内心淌血的创伤,怎么获得心灵深层的平静,心像玻璃一样碎了一地时,怎么收拾?

谁教过我们,在跌倒时,怎么的勇敢才真正有用?怎样的智慧才能度过?跌倒,怎样可以变成行远的力量?失败,为什么往往是人生的修行?何以跌倒过的人,更深刻、更真诚?

我们没有学过。


.......

修行的路总是孤独的,因为智慧必然来自孤独。



----《目送》


huh?

life is like a combination of ??!?!?!?!, huh???, what!?, grrrrrrr sometimes.



just one of those days when i really dont feel like doing anything or talking to anyone.



咬紧牙关,忍。


but i still have an essay to complete.. :(


rantttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

2-0

i was totally on a high after the match...


:) :)

2-0 and i screamed like mad at home. lol.

and fb went crazy with all the man u vs liverpool thing. seriously funny. lol.




it has been a tiring dayyyy.

saturday night live.

had ktv with mum and uncle and aunt and cousin.


it was a seriously unique experience. me + cousin kept exchanging looks and giggling away. so our session consisted of loads of hokkien songs, veryyy old songs and all.

so i was very excitedly singing all my usual songs, and most of the time i couldnt even sing pass the 1st verse because it was too funny. my mum will always sing with me and she ALWAYS sing with those 老调 you know? and the songs all sound like some oldie! i was seriously loling away most of the time.

and they really aunties sia. go one ktv they brought two big bags of goodies. with beer, chrysanthemum, cans of drinks, peanuts, biscuits and all sorts of stuff. cos they wanna 'party' away. haha. seriously cracked me up.


and seriously, i think teo heng is like the best ktv around.






i've been sleeping before 1am for almost two weeks now. save for a few odd days. and of course today. but i still feel SO tired everyday. why?!

its really a riddle that i cant solve. i thought all mums say 早睡就会有精神? how come i feel the opposite?

but nonetheless, i am still gonna keep up the habit. i'm pretty proud of myself actually. those who know me, i've been sleeping at insane timings almost for like the past 3 years. so its a hugeeee change.


going to turn in now. :) nowadays it feels better to be asleep than being awake. lol.

1st.


i have never ever thought in my whole life i would experience this.





this is so so hard.

what if i cant do it?
what if my heart fails me?






"we shall come forth as gold."

remember.

i've had this little notebook of mine for a year now. used to just write all my feelings n emotions inside. and i stopped after a few entries.

Was flipping through it a few days ago and was quite wow but the stuff that i wrote before. and i decided to pick up this habit again.. writing down all my feelings n thoughts..

And i'm gonna try something new, hope that it works..!

monday!

up at 745am and snoozed till 820am before getting up. lol.


feels soooooo good to wake up so early to get some work done!



yayyyyy. i'm gonna finish some serious stuff today..!

the sunday before monday.

haizx. sometimes i think i'm too in my own world. that sometimes i just dont feel like talking.



anyways, i'm really quite excited for school to start tmr. haaaaaa.
challenges!

the only sian thing abt sch reopening is that need to think of what to wear everyday.
sianzzzzzzz.






tingtinggggggg! you got to grow up!

questions..

sometimes along the journey you feel as if you are all alone. things that only you yourself go through.

but you just got to trust even if you are doubtful.

and hear His voice in the midst of all.. the only thing that you can get you thru.





excited for the 'live broadcast' super happening cg later. :)

sticky.

Photobucket

i have a sudden craving for these rock candies in all the rainbow colours like right now. :( or like in pink and purple and all the bright happy colours.


been having headache/giddiness since after dinner and it feels like these candies will just do the trick.


one day i'll remember to pass by clarke quay.

sleeping with the light on.

theres seriously at least three houses under renovations now around my block. or at least i can constantly hear three drills drilling away freely. and one hammering away.


and i've been feeling so arghhh till just when i decided to just pop the pills.




ranting ranting ranting.



Along she came, with her picture,
Put it in a frame, so I won't miss her,
Got on a plane, from London; Heathrow,
It seems such a shame, yea..

I feel her. Slipping through my fingers,
Now she's gone, I'm sleeping with the light on,
And shocks went through my veins now, that she's gone,
I'm sleeping with the light on...


haha. this used to be my fave song back in busted days.
would replay the video the whole day and not get tired of it.
but i somehow lost my busted cd. :(
must be ard somewhere!
it was a bday present i requested from candy and the girls i think. lol.

highly irritated.

dear unit from above,


you've been drilling nonstop since 10am now. and thats almost 5 hours now with only 1 hour lunchbreak. i planned to have a quiet and nice and peaceful monday. but you kinda spoilt everything and i cant help but be VERY irritated now. it is my last week of holidays and i just wish that you would drill next week instead when i'm like in school at the faraway west when i cant hear your drills. and of all rooms, you got to drill the one right above my current room. i wanted to read but i cant concentrate. i wanted to watch my shows but i cant hear them talking and had to use earpiece. i wanted to pack my room but you are so noisy its driving me crazy. and of all days i dont feel like going out today! i would REALLY appreciate it if you would stop drilling and maybe like, paint the rooms instead or something. havent you guys heard of monday blues?! :( :( :(




from the very angry and disturbed and sad tingting.

God.

thoughts thoughts thoughts.



today was lying on my bed.. thinking hard.. reflecting.
those inner struggles..





. . . . . . . . .

hard.

control control.

withdraw withdraw.


sometimes you just need time.
and you'll realise how stupid everything sounded.



i really need you God.

objectives.

today i started off my day by sitting down and writing down my objectives for the day. and at the end of the day i sat down and was very happily ticking all of my objectives 'done'. happy. :)





同样一个妈妈生出来的, but woah.
i realised the stark difference in our strengths and weaknesses recently.

today was just sitting in the car gazing out of the window.
and i realised me and my sister are SO different.
different in ways i've not noticed before.
what i'm strong at, shes weaker at.
what shes strong at, i'm weaker at.
no wonder she cant stand me sometimes. lol.
cool man.


----------------------------

is it me?
i'm just not excited abt such stuff anymore.
hmmmmm.

the village.

so.. i officially finished 5 whole seasons of The Hills today. i'm NOT going to continue with the new episodes with kristin cavallari in it. i love lauren and kristin is just different. so without lauren = no more hills for me. i miss lauren though. :( i think she has got character.. out of all these drama mama in the show. she actually turned out good.

and i LOVE her hair for some reason. lol. kristin doesnt have such fab hair.

okay anyway. so i'm at The City now. its a spinoff from The Hills.
i LOVE erin's hair and bangs. seriously.

so i told caryn, and the convo went like this:

ting: now i'm at the city. its a spin off from the hills.
caryn: ooohhh hahaha got village a not?


NICE ONE LOR. lol!!! she cracks me up with really random stuff randomly!

depth.

the little talk with xt on sunday.. it was good.



"look for people with depth, the truth is that there are very few people with depth out there now."



yep. everybody and everyone can be all nice and good.
and they are not bad people.
but.. its rare to find people with depth.
people with substance.
people who think.



depth. wow.
i want to be one.

1h.

its crazy all these feelings i've felt recently.



that it makes my everyday long baths become almost therapeutic.

倔强

praying praying for you.


keep going keep going.

keep fighting.


stand strong stand strong!


there IS a light at the end of every tunnel.


最美的愿望一定最疯狂
就算失望不能绝望

growing up.



i am really so proud of my sister. she graduated with first class honours and all. so proud of her! :)

she really inspires me sometimes. not like all the time when shes being irritating. but yeah other times she is really quite inspiring. haha.

不知道不知道 & 20 kaya balls.


the bus is by far the most comfy i've ever sat in. totally enjoyed it with music in my ears and curling by the window seat seeing the night pass.


and FINALLY satisfied my soy chai latte craving.


one of my most traumatic experience for this trip. it took me more than 15-20mins to overcome my fear and get used to the fishes sucking at my feet.


i was really tense up.


xt say i always pose like this. hahaha.






satisfied our a&w craving! root beer + curly fries + waffles&ice cream. :)


this guy always always makes me laugh. hahahaha. everytime i see this photo i laugh! hahahaha.





kt: i have tingting withdrawal syndrome.

sweet huh. hahahahaha.


KL trip was funnnnnnnn. it was my first time ever being flung upside down in the air for so many times! it was traumatic as well! i always have this fear that my safety belt will suddenly give way and then i'll fall out and die. haha.


and i think i bought a nice bag. haha.

and i think the guys maximized their manhood. hahaha.

but i couldnt find my cardigan though. :(

hmmm.

new house.

therein lies new dreams, new hopes, new expectations for the future. time to grow up, time to take on more responsibilities, time to be more understanding. i dont know if its me, but everytime we move.. i feel alot. more than deciding the design etc.. it is about the change.. and the environment.. the people..

new insights.

spending alot of time with my mum and my sister recently. opened my eyes.. its not easy at all.. the sacrifices.. the love..



questions.. difficult.. can i?


alot of times.. i feel so disappointed. yep i do. many things.


but we all know that all things work together for good for those who love Him yeah?
i'll give you all my disappointments.. help me..

welcome to the world.

felt alot this afternoon.


i'm gonna be a better daughter, better student, better tingting.




after feeling so much.. watching the hills makes me really irritated by their problems. seriously.

如烟.

i didnt have internet for the past two days. and let me tell you.. its really bad.


i ended up doing mask.. and taking lonngggg baths to make up for it. and even sleeping earlier!


me and cousin were soooooo bored. that he suggested drinking. which i strongly resisted. then we started to throw pillows at each other.. and watched really senseless shows on tv.


------------------------------------------

bizarre.
out of the world.


------------------------------------------

have been meeting the contractor recently. am really excited for new house. gonna move 1st week of november.


first time i really get to design my own room. all of our rooms are gonna be platformed. and i'm SO gonna have a black bed/deep red bed. and sliding door wardrobe.


the contractor made the new house sounds really exciting. i'm really excited to see the end product. :)


i'm really thinking of painting my room pink.

"When you cant see His hand, trust His heart."
-PK.

ppr witht th vwls.

i really like The Hills opening. it kinda makes me v happy to watch it.
i really like Lauren and Whitney as well. i think they are soo prettyyyyyyyy. and they have nice clothessssssss.


after not watching GG for so long, i completely catch nothing.
but i am still very much in love with Serena's hair though. it all falls nicely just at all the right places.


and on monday, i'll have 3 new nail polish colours that sound exciting and happening. yay!

(no it doesnt sound bimbotic at all i know what you are thinking.)

does any of you can even guess what the title is about?? lol!
it kept me amused for quite some time of the day.



-----------------------------------------------------------------

i dont need popularity, i dont need to have alot alot alot of friends.
i dont need alot of attention, i dont need to talk alot.
i dont need to have a super happening life, i dont need to line my schedule up with parties and outings.


even as i realised things.. saw things..
these things irk me even more.. makes me even more repulsive.

no i dont need all that. thank you very much.

i'll be happy enough with a good book at home.
i'll be happy enough with a handful of real friends who'll stick with me thru thick and thin.
i'll be happy enough to just sit at the table laughing with my sister.

i'll be happy enough with God everyday of my life.

sianzxzzxxx.

siannzzzzz why am i feeling so sianzzzzx...



dont think dont think!!



不要想不要想!

hairily hair.

my bangs are obscuring half of my vision now. i see hair in front of me all the time.



but the other time when i attempted to trim it, it was so uneven that it was scary.


looking at the pictures that we took.. cant even make out my eyes seriously. it is just hair.



hmmmm.


i need to learn to sleep early.

feel the rain on your skin.

my day kinda starts at 12pm everyday.


have been watching The Hills lately. its really quite a bimbotic show. but well it is quite fun.

now i know why people like Lauren and no one likes Heidi and Spencer. lol.


and how the term 'Best Friend' is so overused and underrated in that show it makes me feel like barging in and re-act everything for them. but i feel so sad for Lauren. :( am only at season 2.









lovessss the feeling of finally having music while out alone. and being in my own world with my music again. :)
makes me happyyyyyy.


okay. today i'm gonna work hard hard k.

roads.

while waiting for the bunch of people. i had alot of time to spare. was at pasir ris. so just randomly thought of walking to my old house..


that feeling was funny though. you know when you are so used to a place, you'll create your own shortcuts and routes on how to walk home. so i was wandering through my own made up route back there..



saw that the bus stops had a new coat of blue paint..
those familiar passageways.. those familiar playgrounds.. familiar bridge..
but other than that.. nothing much changed.



walked through the whole park.. the canal.. saw the old apartment from a distance..




in life.. there are so many things we got to learn to let go.
it may seem hard at first. painful. very painful.

but when you get the chance to revisit that place, and that memory, and that same pathway..
you'll realise how much stronger you've grown.
nothing changed on the outside.
but something changed on the inside.


a nice half an hour spent with myself.

4D. :)

:)

life.

"that's life."


something that i read today which probably struck me in a way different from other times when i read it.


hmmmmm.

五月天。


《我》

还记得小时候

作文簿上的志愿

那天真的幻想

如今都到哪里躲藏


《生存以上生活以下》

小时候 只要看天空

枕著白云 就觉得全世界都拥有

长大了 拥有的更多

为何感觉 到越来越匮乏越贫穷



《一颗苹果》

我想到遥远遥远的以后会不会有人知道我

在这个寂寞的星球曾这样的活过

喔遥远遥远的以后天长和地久的尽头

应该没有人能抢走我永远的感动


《我心尚未崩坏的地方》

宁愿重伤也不愿悲伤

让伤痕变成了我的徽章

刺在我心脏 永远不忘



《如烟》

有没有那么一种永远 永远不改变 

拥抱过的美丽都 再也不破碎

让险峻岁月不能在脸上撒野 

让生离和死别都遥远 有谁能听见



《约翰蓝侬》

能不能暂时把你的梦想给我

在勇气快消失的时候

总有一天要人们叫我披头

最后没成功也作过最美的梦


《倔强》

当我和世界不一样

那就让我不一样


最美的愿望一定最疯狂



the songs arrangement was so deliberate and excellent. there is a story flow and you go through every emotion in the song.. to the max.



each concert, they have a certain theme.

that changes the world. that challenges the society. that gives our soul food for thought.


so this year.. it was the DNA theme.

“我好想复制一个新的自己,如果不行,那我要复制一个新的世界。”



一颗小红豆要挑战世界。 :)

you gotta give them credit for always bringing such positivity into this world. its not always that easy.



我在最后几首歌,还是落泪了。哈哈。


3h45min.

真希望每年都唱到那么爽。



i dont know how to say.. but.. i really really love mayday!


after the concert, went back to reread all the lyrics of the songs. and it gave me an even deeper insight.

always in amazement by that kinda songs that ahxin/mayday write.



looking forward to concert next year! though i dont know if i'll be in singapore or china. :( it'll be great if i can attend both side's though. haha.



(they sang ALL of my fave songs ever. including those that they dont normally sing! :):) )

lessons from a kid.

finally finally watched up. it was a really touching movie. so simple and straightforward but it contains so much truth in it.


and i'm really amazed at how JLYX can just ramble off after the movie ended about everything that he learnt and saw. and abt society abt the old man's feelings and all. seriously i was like thinking in my heart thats really something i cant do. lol! i always need to process, to think, and to put words into the feelings that i've felt. and thats why i kept quiet okay.. haha. not that i'm slow.




was reminded of some random blog that i read before, that when you are a child, your emotions and feelings, your moods, your ambitions, your wants and needs, get so amplified and loud in a sense. that everything is shown so clearly on the child's face or actions. and throughout the whole movie.. saw russell's innocence and sincerity through his moods and actions.

and sometimes.. dont you just envy a child? their world is still yet 'corrupted' and yet 'influenced'. so simple and so pure. every agenda and every intention is good from the bottom of his heart. and i think it speaks alot about most adults today. when we grow up, we allow different things all around to get us. and our insecurities start to act up. our confidence is challenged. etc etc. and sometimes you just need such innocence to remind you of this.



and also, about dreams. these few days had alot of input abt dreams stuff. esp after mayday's concert. lol. yep. and one thing that really got me. is that.. no matter how big or how ridiculous or how impossible your dream sounds.. how far will you actually go?

and even as we grow up.. those dreams that we dreamt when we were young. those dreams that are out of the world. dreams that were birthed forth by passion. where are they? do we still actively pursue it? or do we allow ourselves to sink into mediocrity?



and what jx blogged abt Up got me too.

quote: "sometimes it is the most boring stuff that i remember the most"-russell.


when he said that in the movie i totally smiled. sometimes really.. it is the simplest of things that can bring such contentment and satisfaction. like for him, counting the cars while sitting on the curb. cute right?

yes we are made for greatness. yes we should aim high. yes we dream big. but no.. dont forget the simple things. dont forget the little things. those things that money truly cant buy. that even by counting cars, eating ice cream sitting on the curb.. it can be such a happy and fulfilling time spent. (and i guess its something that Voldemort wont understand as well. lol!)

and i think my future husband needs to enjoy doing 'boring' stuff too. cos i totally enjoy them. haha.





you know sometimes, a little kid can actually teach a grown up so much stuff. interesting huh?





kkkkk i should be zzzzzz-ing. gotta wake at 645am. :( going to school on teachers' day while everyone else is having holidays is the most sianest thing ever.

but i still feel so .....


i'm not a little girl. i know...


but .....

8.30pm - 12.15am.



it has been a blast.




thoughts another day.

they make my heart flutter

tmr is the day. when i meet them once a year.



and i remember how at every concert, when my favourite song is being played, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
and i always gain something new after every concert.




and this is my itunes top 25 play count:
Photobucket

haha. some are quite insane i think. 9 of the songs are from them.




i'm so excited. :)

but sadly they wont be pelting out the songs till midnight like they did today though.

raindrops keep falling on my head.

Photobucket

i banged. lol.


okay i will keep the 'feelers' up alright. or else i m very ah lianed.

and also, my hair is brown now. not ah lian-ish brown. but noticeable brown. :)



cutting hair is like exciting la. but money ---- also. cos nowadays cut hair is like !!

one day, my hair is gonna be like this:

Photobucket
src783

i will dye + curl it this way. hahaha. what is life without ambitions?




i love the sound of rain. :)
the way it softly falls onto the ground. that sound of pattern.
so rhythmic and soothing.
that feeling of being surrounded with that sound, and raindrops. wherever you are.
kinda makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside huh?



and i shall learn to insert titles for my posts.

omg i just totally changed my blog template! haha. and i totally look like some freak who is super obsessed with her name. challenge: count the number of 'tingting's on this page. lol!

still left some stuff to change though. shall do it another day.

and i cant believe i actually stayed till 5am to do it.

okay gonna zzz now. tmr supposed to meet at 12 but i dont wanna be late cos we told ying its 11 cos shes normally late and we didnt tell her on purpose and i doubt she'll read this before meeting tmr so its okay hahaha. we are so evil.


okay goodnight. :)

olsen anonymous.


have been toying with cutting bangs for the longest of time.

but after seeing this pic my heart totally melted..

how gorgeous can they get?!

okay so for now my bangs impulse is halted.

saw this on laura's status a while ago.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”

- Mary Anne Radmacher

when i feel this way..
i will recoil and i will withdraw..



i think its better..

it seems really weird that i cant really articulate what i feel nowadays into words.
so let me blog in point form.



  • actually.. it didnt really matter that much anymore. and that itself is a really tiny but significant step forward.
  • today's service really touched me alot.
  • i really love serving on saturdays. we are just like a family who is always there to support. and i always enjoy serving on saturday more. because 1)we have ALOT of time spent together. 2)we make the most mistakes together. 3)we eat lunch and fellowship together. 4)we laugh and cry together. and everytime i step into the room, it just fills my heart with joy and i just smile from my heart. :) love these people. (and i cannot upload pic! argh.)
  • am really excited for you!
  • cant be more pleased to let loose and laugh at hk cafe just now with xt and dl.
  • need/want to be more organized.
  • inspired by a random blog. such simple but deep person.
  • sometimes really wonder how dumb can i be. but no! it serves as a lesson learnt. i will be smarter and i'll learn.
  • now that freedom seems so near.. got me thinking what i REALLY want to accomplish this holiday.
  • my life has always been a ---- story. i really need some +=\`"''/'. a daring step forward.
  • four months left to end of 2009. am seeing and working towards a change.
  • tingting is not someone who likes changes. but change is like the only constant thing. so i'll adapt.


  • and.. tampines is raining. and thundering. finally.

wow i didnt know i'm thinking of so many things in my mind until i just anyhow typed. lol.




M, if you are reading.. am praying for you. :) you are very loved and am supporting and cheering you on! :)



TOMORROW WILL BE AN EXCITINGGGGG DAYYYY.

i am really happy. :) haha.











and my answer was and is still a "yes, i would. everything. every single thing."

you know sometimes the world is soooo big.
sooo big that it overwhelms.

that sometimes you lose yourself along the way.
and you dont know who you are.
and the whole wide world is telling you who you should be.

and the universe-the rules. who made them?
makes it even harder for you to find a footing in this world.



but even as all the complexities of life take over,
you've got to stop.



and listen.
to your heart and that small voice inside of you.



the search... it continues on.



your love has seen me through all my days.. and it still will..

some heartwarming stuff.


bs mate graduated!


darren's team. with 3 of them graduating.


lovely lijun n desiree.


awesomeeeeee.


3 batches of anglicans. :)


:) 7 years of friendship.



新的开始 :)






(and finally blogger is working!)

i can hardly open my eyes now..



i am so stressed.. sooo stressed..


still must go on..



i havent been sleeping well...




worn out, tired, stressed out.

on the brink of giving up and another breakdown.

突然有个很莫名的感触..


成长..长大..




是个多神奇和美妙的过程。

那过程...是文字无法表达的..




生命是如此的离奇。


我们就是在这世上的小基因。
但这小基因,是为了更大的自己而存在的。

was talking to my sis today.. told me about the different politics going on. the different stories.. different views.. different conflicts..

as i was listening and registering what she've said, other than the incredulous feeling that wow my sis actually is sharing with me this kinda stuff, i felt so strongly..

that even as you grow up, it becomes harder and harder to stay true to yourself. it is so so easy to take on another identity, to take on something that others think is good. when you were young, it feels so easy to be who you wanna be.. and as you grow up.. it becomes something hard to hold on to.

have seen people who drifted away. seen people changed.

and it is the convictions and your beliefs.. that hold you back. that make you stay true.. if not.. it is so so hard to step out there and survive. because you'll get influenced instead..




actually that wasnt even the whole gist that my sis was talking about. haha.
-----------------------------------------------------------

caryn's 21st.
