went to the zoo with 3 classes of nursery kids on wednesday. i was initially quite afraid, since i am not exactly very good with kids. but my mom kept asking me to go down and help out.. so i went.

did not expect so many helpers and so many kids actually. but it was really nice to see the kids enjoy themselves and after awhile, when they kids warmed up to me, it was really fun. they'll come up and insist on holding your hands. i love the innocence that they have. i guess we are always attracted to what we have lost. these kids just believe everything they are told.. like how we bluff them that the horrible smell they are smelling was actually animal perfume.. hahaha so funny..

just a few photos to share..
the cutest girl in my class who kept sticking to me throughout the trip =) she isnt very photogenic though.


all the kids waiting for the bus to come


a boy with a cap too small for his head.. reminds me of joel actually.. hahaha


the cutest boy on the bus! and he is extremely talkative. he'll be sooo handsome when he grows up


teachers helping the kids up the bus


this indian boy was so funny. kept banging into things cos he was so mesmorized by his surroundings.


thats about all.. no photos of animals if you realize.. hahaha cos i did not have time to look at the animals.. keep my eyes off the kids and the next thing you know, they're either missing, or on the ground crying. haha

school is starting, and i am really not looking forward to CORS.

called up the school administrator a few weeks ago and i got scolded for being stupid. for those of you who still do not know, i made a mistake and chose 3 modules wrongly over the course of my first two years in university and i only realized my mistake in the middle of my 4th semester. so, after calling the administrator, i only have one way out: that is to do 6 modules for the next 3 semesters, and kill myself. cant believe i was so dumb.

this sem, CORS is going to drain me and suck me dry. i doubt i'll have any points to go into the next semester.

sometimes, things happen that are unexpected and i go all crazy and lose my bearings. this is really going to take time.

hello my dear, welcome back. we missed you.

i need a new pair of sports shoes.
i need goggles.
i need a new handphone.

i want sunglasses.
i want contact lenses.
i want to get an mp3 player for my mother.

i look at the 35% of my salary left and wonder which i should start saving up for first. haha

my life is in a mess again. it goes into a mess everytime i have a long and boring holiday. time to shake it up again.

i love daniel. yups you heard me. his is a life of perfection (or at least the bible did not mention any mistakes he made), but a life of persecution. he was surrounded by dumb leaders and dumb Jews (except for his three true friends). how i wish i can be like him. he does not have problems making decisions because his decisions are always clear cut: just do what God wants. and he has wonderful friends who have great faith like he does. they did not care about whether or not God saves them from the furnace; they just refused to bow down. but when i think again, i realize that my wish is dangerous. wanting to be like daniel would mean i have alot to give up.

i want Christ to come clean up my room, but i have things that i still do not want to throw away.

i know this post is pretty late, but hey.. lets just say i have been successfully avoiding the computer.

went out with annalisa and li fang last week. got reminded of how wonderful it is to have friends who last for a long time. strangely she was one of the rare few who noticed that i cut my hair (that is, before i cut it again).. haha and somehow, i did not feel weird when the two doctors-to-be talked in their medical language.. li fang and i managed to surprise annalisa for her birthday. i mean, come on.. she actually believed that i have forgotten about her birthday.. haha.. so ya, we surprised her with cakes at li fang's mom's cafe. haha. nice.

anna, you are so coming to my birthday party, if i have one. ;)

was very bored at home and tried looking for people to go out with, but no one i asked was free. and lo and behold, angela sms's me and asks if i wanna go out. haha talk about coincidence. so we went out and i managed to buy the skirt i wanted to buy. woohoo!

but the most interesting thing was this. angela was JUST talking about cutting her hair short, when this well dressed cute guy comes up to us. if it were up to me, i would have brushed the guy off without listening. but his company name caught angela's ear. Toni and Guy's. so ya they were offering free haircut, but that was all i could gather, since i could hardly understand his accent. haha so ya, we walked over and to my horror, the place was swarming with grown indian men. i am NOT racist actually, but it was really scary to see so many of them, especially when they come and stand behind you after you have taken your seat in front of the mirror. haha. yups. these men from India have just finished a course by Toni and Guy's so they needed "models" (more like dummies) to try their newly learnt skill. and angela and i signed up for this. oh well. the comforting thing was that the stylist was a professional. only the person cutting is a newbie. to be honest, i am ok with my new hairstyle, though i did not plan on cutting my hair again. third time this year, as compared to my normal frequency of three years once. haha now angela and i look like twins. wonderful.

anyhow, there are things waiting for me to deal with and the last thing i need now is to be childish and emotional. must put on humility and wisdom to fight this battle.
