Luv Cynthia

Who is KINDER BUENO???

Poor Bren Bren!!!! Hey dun be frustrated!!! Cynthia to the rescue!!!! the mystery commentor is non other than -> -> -> My cute cute boyfren!
Kinder bueno because he buys them occasionally from 7-11 for you (if you didn't run off too early) Rough paper because Jo needs them for exams & he always, somehow, managed find a stack for her :)

now really. who's the chap with all the funny names? it's always nice to have a visitor, but it'll be even nicer to know his/her name.

we've been talking a lot of love lately. not cynthia's sudden outburts of 'let's talk about boys!' (an unfortunate accident on my part) but true love, the type where you excercise when someone wrecks your most beloved mp3 or something. it's pretty tough to truly love someone i realise.

i for one thing, won't turn my other cheek to someone when they slap me. a classic example is when i tried to reconcile with an old classmate of mine. we shall call this person D. it started rather awkward for D happens to be a rather formal person in cyber chatting and got worse when D hit a raw nerve when a sensitive issue was raised somewhere in the coversation.

D was right of course, but i still got annoyed the way the way the issue was brought up. suddenly i wasn't too keen on reconcilation any more. for us, when sparks start to fly we start to fly away from the situation. but to truly love would be to embrace each others' mistakes and comprimise frequently. well, if jesus can love us, we have to excercise the same type of love too right? this is going to be hard, but apparently i'm going to try to talk to D again. i've been trying to connect with those i usually ignore, and i don't get very positive results. it's really important to treasure the friendship when it's still good man. spread the love!

in honour of our mystery commentor,
'pancake'

i know i'm mad to post two things in one day. but i receieved funny inspiration from cynthia and Ee jay (woah).

funny things to do(by my whole family)

1.talk while grinning all the way in a restaurant. especially to the waitresses. whoever opens their mouth first is the LOSER.

2.read out the descriptions of the menu while ordering. eg."hi can i have your muddy mud pie: ice cream packed with biscuit punch with delicious hot fudge enveloping it that will whet my appetite?"

3.go to an exotic restaurant and order the dishes with the hardest names. "can i have ajshkitedlooo?"

4.greet them with unusual enthusiasm and hesitate. eg." HELLO! can i have uh, uh, uh.....(let 5 minutes pass)"

5.book a hotel room with a huge bed. share all your jokes, laugh until you roll off the bed and go back up again. repeat till your tummy feels really painful (my mom)

6. question your parents on their love life. this turned out to be really entertaining for my family!

7.go into a lift with someone. hold the door open for a really long time before closing it. when it closes, turn to an empty space and ask"why albert, how rude. why keep us waiting?" (not original)

8. teach your dad new words. like when you say something rocks, it doesn't contain actual stones. emo is an emu, and an oxymoron is not used for scolding people like the word 'moron' (all of the above are my dad's resposnses to the following lingo lessons)

9.bring a camera along for camwhoring especially when your mom put on makeup. my mom purposely did so on our last family dinner. she went to the extent of doing an ah lian smile for us all.

10.share your ambitions. eg. my hilarious childhood friend kenneth. "my dream was to be a security guard. then i wanted to be a dishwasher." from that evolved my sister's dream to be a photocopier.

11.(special) imitate the jonas' brothers' songs. they are SO FUN to do. britney spears is good too, or even jay chou. my dad's favourite is jay chou, but my sister and i take jb, britney and miley cyrus plus other funny dudes anytime. who knew singing out of tune could be so fun.

all of the above was actually demonstrated by my family. try at your own risk, but it proves to be especially exhilrating when you're all on high.

haha.

Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan (anyone)?
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.

Hiiii all,
I went back to church yesterday, although I didn't see you guys (: I went for 1st service, and saw Cynthia. Just decided to drop a note.
Lately, this past year and last year was a turbulent one. I had no problem with 'friends' transition in Secondary school, which I am very thankful for. But I struggled a lot with my studies, and still do up to now. (so lousyyyyy)
I received stress and pressure from my family to do well, from my older sister telling me how everything was so easy, and that if I didn't do well it would just show that I was really stupid, to my parents reprimands when I scored B's. Sometimes although all they say is that they want my best, "best" is a tall order. I'M A VERY LAZY PERSON, AND I DO NOT LIKE TO STUDY AND NEITHER DO I HAVE A FLAIR FOR IT. I struggled with my studies last year.
In addition to that, towards the third quarter of the year, Ps Khong had approached my father and asked him to take on a second portfolio- to be the Operations Manager of Gateway Enterprises.
Actually, this wouldn't have affected our life at all, as no pay rise no yada yada shit whatever, but it consumed all of my father's time, and that left no time for family. He would hold a 9 to 5 job on weekdays, and be in church over the weekend. Naturally, I struggled with this too. My father who had always been available for me to talk through problems with was no longer there, he was always out or too busy to even sit down for a chat with me. When my grades were dropping, and without anyone to talk to, everything just kept going downhill. (Jack and Jill went up the hill blahblah)
I don't know how to bring across the ending without sounding bitter or cynical, but it's weird, maybe? Beginning of this year was rough. Horrible results, yet again. (When will the plague of bad results leave me?! It started in P5, wahlaooo.) In short, everything changed.
Up till now, everything's still changing. I'll post the ending when it's confirmed ;)
Bear with me, I have my reasons for not going to church or cell or whatever.

Love you guys!
