i don't update my blog regularly. and honestly, i have thought of shutting it down many times. or just leaving it and not update it. but it's constantly on my list of frequently visited websites so i always see and and so i always end up going to my page. and then i'll tell myself it's time to blog. and then i'll think, but i have nothing to blog about/i have nothing interesting to say/can be said. and so i'll blog hop a bit to the regular bloggers' blogs and wish i had just an exciting life.
but now here it is, still alive nearly 5 years since its creation. not even a change of blog url, just many fickle changes in skin. i don't know, but though i don't update it regularly and it seems like i don't care abt it, i think somewhere i'm kinda attracted to this thing. or rather, i'm proud of myself having this last for so long when everything else that i've tried to keep going always seem to fail. and i guess once it's gone on long enough, you can't really let go even though it seems like the most reasonable rational and logical thing to do.
PATIENCE, yes i can.
a blog post about really nothing at all.

it's 9.30am, and i'm up! haha. plus my lecture only starts at 12 later. i think i'm still jet-lagged in a way. i go to sleep like at 11plus at night, and wake up at 9am. or either that, i'm just lazy and being a pig. oh oh in seattle we went to this market by the pier, coast, sea, whatever, and their mascot was a pig named rachel. haha. rachel the pig.
still trying to get used to the late classes that i have this sem. and by late i mean like 12noon and 2pm. i only have one day which my class starts at 10am so far, and thats the earliest. really different from last sem, when i had two 8am and one 9am out of 4 days. now i can like wake up and go like, hmm i have time to go online before i go to school! rather than, siann i need to brave traffic.
i just realised last night, as i was on my bed going to sleep, that i'll be turning big two zero this year! oh my gosh that's like so old. and yet there are still many many times i just want to be a kid and whine and throw tantrums and kick a fuss. haha, i think i still do!
i nearly died of boredom during my 4-hour break yesterday. my laptop batt died!

happy 2010! :D
back from the US on thursday night/friday morning. it was an eventful trip haha! but i think that was what made it exciting and memorable. running after every transport; train, bus, plane! nearly had to stay in hongkong for an additional night cos our flight got delayed, which meant we would miss our connecting flight which was the last flight of the day. but they bumped us to another airline which got us in about the same time as the original. and we have premium seats!
anyway, lots of things happened during the trip, and unexpected events that have cropped up, but really thank God that He was with us all the time; when we thought we would miss the train, we caught it. when we thought there would be no time, He made time. the trip was amazing, but tiring too cos we had to find transport all the time. still, saw many sights, experienced many things...SNOW! haha. it was all really cool. (:
2009 was a good year. many things fell into place. i got a job at haven which kinda gave me better insight as to what i wanted to do, got good enough results to get into NUS, school timetable and friends which all worked out great, a rollarcoaster ride with Him taught me (again!) to trust Him and Him alone, and not rush Him.
in 2oo9, i want to trust God.
specifically, with my life and the decisions that come along.
even more specifically, i want to trust Him with my results and the plan that He has for me. i don't know where i'll be going, what i'll be doing, but i want to trust that He knows and i will know in due time.
i want to trust Him with my friendships and relationships. that He'll be the Lord of it all.
i trust that He'll teach me and lead me to be a good leader, faithful disciple and earnest worshipper.
you may resolute at the beginning of the year, and half way through we always forget. but i think what's amazing is that despite that, He always brings you back.

haha okay haven't been here for 198919673+++ years...i was busy being a student!
exams was okay, hopefully. haha just took them one after another and getting used to the fact that after this i don't need most of the notes and readings anymore! throw throw throw them all away! or sell, heh.
so yup, trying to find stuff to do, and have a life aha. went for starbucks kettling yesterday afternoon with a bunch of the youth. haha what was supposed to be just me mel and dez at wisma turned out to be the three of us plus 5 more at tanglin mall. haha and it's really ironic, since tanglin mall is like, empty. there was no queue at all! haha it's like those b&j days kind of thing...go to the outlet with no human traffic, or that's ulu to the max, and you don't have to queue! haha cheryl said the outlet at city hall was crazy, she didn't even bother to queue even though she was studying at starbucks.
today, i'm displaced from my room. my parents decided to paint the house and so today it's my turn to get the room painted. i'm having it red and pink! haha classy. hope it turns out good. (:
couple of weeks more till the us trip. got a ton of stuff my mom's been nagging to do. pack my bags, get warm clothing, get the flu vaccination, make sure the visa's still valid...haha.
okay, hungry and time for lunch yay. :D

i suddenly felt to urge to study and to work today. i think it's the mixture of talking to yurong, and all the recent RP programs and surveys which talks asks about attitudes towards study and the psych module in particular. which leads me to feel guilty and super worried abt this module cos i cannot make it! speaking of that, its going to be RP-week this week seriously. i'm spamming and chiong-ing to finish all my credits this week. i stayed back til 2pm today just to do one, which by the way is only 1pt and we need to clear 12pts, i have another one for 3pts tmr, another on friday, and last one next monday. haha but i'm glad i managed to find and sign up enough to clear la. so i wont have negative hours, heh.
the rush of projects and essays and assignments are all more or less over for me. only left with one physics module grp project, and i'm like just a member, so i'm not too worried abt that.
i'm starting to see that uni is not so fun/easy anymore. how to achieve a cap of at least 4???
starting to do rentals to supplement my income now that psle is over. haha. it's becoming an nus-team pool of tech/rental pple now: me, david and guanyou, with the exception of mat and adriel. haha and cassandra seemed interested in coming down to see how its like.
it's week 11. 2 more weeks of school!
