So I'm writing this as I eat my onion rings at BK 45 minutes before work. 
My 3G isn't working, and my wifi at home isn't either- Singtel said to wait 1-2 hours. I think it's a service provider problem. 
As I sat eating dinner, I really literally didn't know what to do. I realised that sub consciously I'm using 3G all the time- even if I'm doing devotion on my phone, I need 3G for that, how ironic. 

So I was thinking, what did they do back at the time (which wasn't even that long ago) when there wasn't any Internet. They funny thing is that they seemed satisfied with their lives and didn't look crippled like we are nowadays.
For school, if they had to do research my guess is they had to go to the library and actually look for the book, something which we, or at least I rarely even do nowadays. 
I talk about hating e books but I read books on my phone anyway (hypocriteeeeeeeee) 

Basically, Internet has made me lazy. I can carry the Bible anywhere I go, it's barely even considered 'weight' but I don't. Why? Cause 'I have a Bible on my phone anyway.' And now that my 3G isn't working, I can't open the Bible AND my iPhone is useless. 

Somehow technology has made life easier yet at the same time some things were lost. 

 Oh well, thoughts over. Bye bye

SO EXCITED!!!!!

HALO EVERYBODY. I know i haven't blogged in 1223435 years and I'm pretty sure no one follows this anymore but I shall pretend I do have readers anyway.

I'm currently in the process of redecorating my room and its taking so much longer than expected- also I'm using my own pay to pay for the stuff but it isn't that bad. Everything put together would be around a 150 i guess? This is what my holiday job was for.

There used to be a mountain of boxes in my brother's room (and if you've been to my house you probably know what I'm talking about) and recently, it's finally cleared!
So i shifted my bed and table around and blah blah but its so boring so I just got the idea to get the room that i've always wanted.
Yes, I'm aware its my brother's room but he won't be back till next november.

I'm planning to paint part of my room this colour:
I know it's really blur cause i took a screenshot from the paint catalog hahaha 


Basically I'm just really really excited. I have so much stuff that I can't wait to put up, I just need to paint the wall first. 

But there's youth leaders retreat this friday till sunday so i probably won't be able to do it on Monday ughhhhh. 
I still need fairy lights and some pictures to frame, yes.

OKAY THAT IS ALL. Will maybe post some pictures when I'm done with it, hopefully by Tuesday :)
XOXO

Overwhelmed

So news just reported that Cory Monteith just died and I thought it was another hoax but no, he's really gone.
Doesn't it remind you how life is so fragile and how tomorrow is not certain for anyone?
I'm just so thankful to be alive right now, I kind of lost myself for a little while, but I'm glad I got back on my feet, thanks to my circumstances which were horrible at first but turned out to be a blessing.
I'm just feeling very overwhelmed by God's love right now, that how He knows everything before you know it. Just a day ago I was crying my eyes out cause I thought everything was horrible but it really turned out to be okay.

In class

Probably the only reason why I'm blogging cause I'm bored to death in class. 
Basically a list of things i've been doing: 

1)SCHOOL SCHOOL SCHOOL. 
Gotta get up at 6am for like 4 days in a row and blah, so much work, I don't even know where to start. 

2)Exercise 
Ian's calling me a fitness junkie but I really just want to get fit. All them muscles ;) 
My arms really hurt though :'( :'( :'( I literally can't raise them at all and it was only a ten minute arm workout. 

3)Thinking of what to wear for DMC Connect. 
It's this event that we have every year and this year's theme is Superstar. I have two dresses in mind but don't know HOW I'm gonna wear it. 


I really want to sleep right now, really really tired. Plus later I still have to run later for at least 5k later :( We're running to Woodlands Waterfront which is about 3k but i don't know, I feel like if i dont run for at least 4.5 every time I run its a useless run :( 
Okay enough of fitness talk. 

I'm confirmed going to the US in June (and hopefully by then my brother cant say im fat or chubby no more) so if you all want anything (that isnt heavy and isnt super expensive), I can buy it while im there! 

REALLY EXCITED about going to the US but definitely not about the 24 hour plane ride. I really think I'm gonna take pills so I just sleep all the way. 

Okay nothing more. 
TAH TAH :-)

USS (YAY)

Couldn't resist blogging about this since as of today, I have only 11 days till school and I'll probably get to busy to do a week summary and all that.
Went to USS with friends from church yesterday, took loads of photos and ate lots of unhealthy food (everything else was unreasonably overpriced)

Woke up at 6 yesterday, my goodness. One of those rare moments when you can convince pat to wake up at 6 HAHA. Thankful it didn't rain yesterday so we had a hot hot HOT day- we all smelled so bad by the end of the day.

Ended up taking a million photos before riding anything first though and here's a really retarded photo of us HAHAHA


And we met Bert the unibrow and of course, Elmo hehe. So adorable :) 

Though I noticed a distinct trend in all the pictures we took. Apparently I am really blur and can't listen to instructions when they decide what facial expression to use. 

EXAMPLE ONE

Stare stare stare SMILING 


EXAMPLE TWO 

Look away look away SMILING AGAIN. oops. 

I think I finally got the gist here HAHA
*pat on pat's back* 
Oh we were trying to be cool and do the 1D pose, with six people. 
Hannah: "We super step sia", pun intended. 


 GROUP PHOTO :) 

HAH this is really hilarious, see that red roller coaster? That was the first ride we took at USS. Of which during the ride I screamed my head off, braid came completely undone, almost died (well not really, I just thought I almost died) 
After that they wanted to take the blue one which has loops and all and after the first one...no way. I thought I could be brave and do it but no- at the entrance I ended up crying from fear. But it was the "tears stream down your face" kind not the "sob sob sob wail" kind, so at least the level of embarrassment wasn't that bad. I think. 
So me and Hannah [Hannah and I] (fourth from left in group photo in case you're wondering) just sat down while the rest took it three times, YES THREE TIMES :O 

After which Lloyd had to publicly announce on twitter of my little breakdown >:( 





Had a really good dinner though! We were all absolutely starving by 6 plus/7 and we went to eat Carls' Jr at Vivo and abused the refillable drinks. I had Chili Cheese fries- trust me, it's more filling than it looks in the picture.

After which we went up to the top floor and soaked our feet in the water/lay down on the wooden flooring/star gazed.
If Lloyd was right, we saw Orion's belt yesterday! Three stars aligned in a straight row, it was pretty cool :)
(Sorry iphone 5 isn't enough to capture stars if not i'd definitely post a picture)


We practically took every single ride there except the stupid train one which does nothing. 
It was a really good day though, I would even use the word awesome. The company and everything definitely made the trip to USS worthwhile :) 

Went to run this morning though, woke up at 630. I am not used to me being so...healthy. But you feel really good for the rest of the day (though tired). May actually continue doing this when school starts, if  I have the discipline and the motivation hahaha
Its thursday! TGIF tomorrow :) But technically Fridays are only a relief for people who have school (sorry JC people, you can rub it in when I have school and you're on holiday next time) 

Okay bye bye :-)

Good food, good company.


So Kim and I decided in Feb that we would do this called "Document Your Life", it's something that someone on tumblr created. Basically just putting videos (almost like a vlog) to document your month. And because I'm having holidays and also really bored, I actually did it but blogger won't upload it, so the link is here March :)  And it's unlisted on youtube so be honoured you get to see my boring month hehe. I literally didn't use any video editing skills so just imagine a bunch of random videos put together.
[oh and also cause i know i disappeared for the entire month here so you get a video hahaha]


I did forget to video some things though like Jollibeeeeeeeee :D 
Queued for one hour instead of three (which was apparently the average queuing time for everyone we asked) 
I actually woke up at six for jollibee, yup. I'm insane, I know. 
Finally went out to catch up with Janice though! It's been two/three years? She brought me to this little cozy place in Holland V with really really awesome food. You should be drooling by now. 



Brought the sec one CG out to Ikea, Tampines and played Hide and seek with them! So the three of us just hid in some "balcony" and then closed the curtains- they couldn't find us :p 
It looked like a partition from the outside so I would be impressed if they did anyway. 



The kids :) (half of them at least)

My ang moh cousins were here this week! Yes, we're really related. My aunt's (dad's side) husband is from Denmark. 
Side Note: they're both younger than me! (the one on my left's thirteen and the other sixteen) 

Went shopping with the younger cousin in the afternoon, I got pretty things yay :) 





Went to this cafe called "five and dime" and had pasta! A lot of the reviews said it was amazing and family said it was amazing but it's meh for me. I think you have to have an acquired taste to finish the entire thing.
(it was some mentaiko thing with cod fish roe)


I hope everyone's had a good March! I don't really feel like writing much today cause I'm really really tired today. The Air-con guys came this morning and I had to get up and my mum dragged me out to the smelly herbal hair place again. Probably the worst thing is that school starts in almost exactly two weeks :| nooooo. 

Okay bye :-)

Good morning people


Im actually awake before 12, I deserve some applause for that. 
So I quit work on Tuesday because one month is more than enough to be sitting in an office for eight hours everyday. I AM FREE AS A BIRD NOW- well except I can't really fly, but you get the point. 

Anyway, yesterday I was making up for lost sleep and I woke up at two thirty in the afternoon :D But today somehow I'm awake and it's only 11. I woke up twice before this at 8 and 1030- I think my body has conditioned itself to wake up early. AND IM NOT EVEN TIRED, wow. 

For once, I have no pictures to post- except this amazing ramen I had with Kim on my last day of work, but I'm too lazy to post it hahaha. 
My day now consists of chores, eating food, 2 broke girls and some reading, it's not bad at all. I literally spent 3/4 of my day yesterday sitting in bed. I can also hear your voice in my head saying "Wow pat you're such a sloth" HAHA 

I keep forgetting at this time normal JC people would be at school, oops. (and no, I'm not trying to rub it in your faces that I'm on holiday) 

Have a good day everyone! 
xoxo
(it looks cool so I'm gonna leave it there)
