WOOHOO~~
i'm feelin just relieved... in a weird way.. haha.. cos i'm NOT supposed to be feeling so slack... because my exams is coming up on THURS... I havent had exams in 3 years.. 3 LONG years.. and yet i'm having this cannot-b-bothered attitude.. It's been too long already.. i know that i'm just gonna start panicking on weds... and get all stressed up..
I had a SUPER stressful last week... i have night classes almost every night.. on monday, tuesday, thurs, fri and sat... had to do OT on the weds.. and my assignment was due on the saturday 6pm.. i was stressed till mad... i hate doing scientific assignments.. It's like i have the entire bunch of information in front of my face.. but i just can't start on it.. i just cant link them up.. Having classes everynight didnt help either.. cos i would be super tired once i reach home... I DUN HAVE TIME TO DO THEM!! and i get SUPER GROUCHY when i dun have enuff slp..
Saturday has FINALLY came and left.. hehe~ Woke up early on sat... to tie the loose strings of my assignment.. was done by 2pm... den... i drove out with my darling mommy.. we decided to go jalan jalan at ikea since it's so near my school.. Dropped by my school for a while.. den we drove to ikea... i'm SO eyeing on this beautiful study table... haha.. it's like antique... vintage-feel kinda table.. haha.. $299... hmm~~ i wanna get it!! but i got to clear my old cupboard and study table first.. hmm~~ when can i find the time.. .. .. .. me the procastinator... =x
As usual.. i love shopping at ikea.. there's always tonnes of stuff to look at.. and great ideas to decor ur home.. and i saw this BEAUTIFUL CHANDELIER!!! i like!!! but my room's ceiling is quite short so... nvm... ikea is just the best furniture shop there is.. hee~
Me and my mommy shopped ard for a while.. and i got myself a useless ice-cube <3 moulder.. so it makes ice cubes of heart-shapes!! it's just a silly buy.. =p and we were at the plants section for such a long time.. cos.. mommy was looking for CHEAP and pretty plant... Had a silly time there.. cos my mom tried to pull the plant out of the pretty plant pot.. den the ENTIRE plant came out.. together with the soil... wahahhaa... i'm like.. "MOMMY....~~~"
As we were leaving the shop.. i was on my way to get.. .. ..
CHEAPO HOTDOG... hahaha~
den.. den.. this lady came up to us.. and ask us to do a survey for ikea... in return.. i'll get a FREE hotdog and drink.. haha.. Even more cheapo.... hehehe.. *Thank God* though.. i saved $1.70.. hehe.. Hot pippin hotdog with TONNES of mustard and chilli.. yummy~
I just love hanging out with my mommy... haha..
p.s. i reallie salute IKEA abt their move to "NO PLASTIC BAGS"... i totally support their decision.. Plastic bags are bad for the environment.. they are non-biodegradable... can only be incinerated.. contributing to the carbon monoxide to the OZONE layer.. further enlarging the HOLE in the ozone layer.. creating more EL NINO effect.. making polar caps melt more.. increasing water level.. drowning out low-lying cities like SINGAPORE... creating havoc to the weather... you get the msg... ...
so pls.. BRING YOUR OWN BAGS!! Peace Out~

Sunday... God's day...
was in a dress up mood on Sunday.. so i decided to wear something a tad special for God.. haha.. Dumped my tee and jeans aside.. and i finally got to use my opaque black stocking!!
Hee.. my dress up for Sunday was..
White Giordano Tee
Houndstooth berms
Black stocking
Black Patent pointed pumps
Vintage boy kiss ger necklace..
Haha.. had nice comments abt my dressing... hehe.. ^^ It was kinda like i'm going on horseback riding.. haha.. machiam jockey style.. but i love the look.. Guess i'm gonna try experiment with more of my black stockings..
After service.. my parents headed to my ah-ma's hse... i'm supposed to go as well.. but ended up stayin at home instead as i felt i need to study rather then to laze ard at ah-ma's hse.. But i ended up lazing ard at home... LAZY me.. Gave tuition to my neighbour's kid whilst waiting for my parents to come back home..
After they came home... i went out to wash my car... it havent been washed for 2 weeks.. and i CANNOT stand the amount of DIRT accumlating on it.. just frustrates me... so i know i MUST wash it... and so i DID... and i also...WAXED MY ENTIRE CAR!!
WOOHOO~~
Major accomplishment for me.. haha..
from a CAR-IDIOT...
to a CAR-WASHING ger...
to a CAR-WAXING ger...
My very first attempt in waxing my car.. Quite a success i think.. ^^ darn PROUD of myself.. After consultation with the guys.. initial advice given was to wax only my bonnet and car roof for starters.. But i became addicted to waxing... haha.. the more i wax.. the more shiok sia.. Ended up waxing my entire ride... hehe.. so she's all pretty and shiny now... Spent a totally of 3 hrs on her..
Maybe i'm weird.. but i find car wash therapeutic.. it just makes me calm and relaxed after it.. It's good lah... at least i dun find it a chore to wash my car.. After sweating like a pig... it just feels great.. like a good workout..
Back to reality today... and i still havent started on my revision.. i MUST try to start by tonight... hee..
Ta-ta for now~
Why do men die first?
This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries...... but, now we know.
If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race...you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework...you're a pansy.
If you work too hard...there's never any time for her.
If you don't work enough...you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay...this is exploitation.
If you have aboring repetitive job with low pay.....you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her.....that is favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you......it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks......it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet..........it's male indifference.
If you cry............you're a wimp.
If you don't........you're an insensitive bastard.
If you make a decision without consulting her......... you're a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you...... she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy....... that's domination.
If SHE asks you.........it's a favor.
If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear...... you're a pervert.
If you don't..............you're gay.
If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape..............you're sexist.
If you don't.................you're unromantic.
If you try to keep yourself in shape................you're vain.
If you don't................you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers.............you're after something.
If you don't....................you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements........ you're full of yourself.
If you don't....................you're not ambitious.
If she has a headache............she's tired.
If you have a headache.............you don't love her anymore.
If you want it too often.........you're oversexed.
If you don't..........there must be someone else.
Men die first because they want to..
ROFL~~ hahaha... the joke made me smile.. ^^

Love's Most Amazing Story
(My delayed Easter Sunday post... hee.. do read it... pretty interestin...)
Karl Barth, famous though controversial, contemporary Swiss theologian, was a great thinker, a prolific writer, and a professor at several European universities.
On one occasion he was confronted by a reporter who wanted a brief summary of his twelve thick volumes on church dogmatics. Barth could have given an impressive intellectual reply, but didn't. Quoting from the popular child's hymn, he simply said, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
And there is no greater proof of this love than when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, gave his life for us.
It was Jesus who said, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." His own love, however, went much further than this. He laid down his life for his enemies as well as his friends.
Imagine the torturous agony Christ must have endured when nailed to the cross. This was the price he paid to die for our sins. Added to his physical suffering was his sense of utter rejection by being forsaken not only by his few remaining friends, but also by God. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Jesus cried out in utter despair from the cross.
God's love for us is never based on what we do – good or bad.
But so great was his love even for those who caused his excruciating pain—those who nailed him to the cross, thrust a spear into his side, mocked him, spat in his face—that in the midst of this inhuman torture he prayed, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing."
Referring to this prayer, Thomas Carlyle said, "The sublimed words that ever fell from human lips."
Human love is often conditional. If we are what others want us to be and do what they want us to do we are loved. If not, we are often rejected. Fortunately, God's love is never conditional. It is never based on who we are or what we do—good or bad. He loves us simply because we are his creation.
If God loves us unconditionally, why is he so vehemently opposed to our sin? Because sin is so completely destructive of human personality. It totally destroys what God loves—us. Nevertheless, God still loves the sinner. That's why he gave his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us. And now, through Christ's death God can save us from our self-destructive sin.
Sometimes we view God as a hard taskmaster running around with a "big stick" waiting to rap us on the knuckles if we break his commandments. In fact, one person I knew felt that if he committed certain sins, God would actually kill him.
This false view of God is usually formed in childhood. If, for example, we had a very punitive earthy father or mother, we tend to feel that God, the Heavenly Father, is exactly the same. But God isn't like that at all. In fact, we can totally ignore or reject him, and he will still keep loving us.
Sometimes we falsely see sin only as specific acts that God happens to oppose. But sin is much more than this. We tend to see only the external acts, but God sees the heart, too. He is just as concerned with sins of the spirit—pride, jealously, lust, greed, envy, hatred, false motives, emotional dishonesty, resentment and other super-charged negative emotions (including the ones we have repressed and consequently denied)—as he is with such things as murder, rape, and stealing. In fact, many of our external sins are the symptoms of our inner, hidden sins which are equally or even more destructive than the ones we can see.
In his excellent book, The Art of Understanding Yourself, Dr. Cecil Osborne writes, "It is extremely naive to think of sin simply as an isolated act—a lie, a theft, immorality, dishonesty, etcetera—for sin is all that is less than perfection. It is rejecting God—‘falling short' of the perfection which God envisioned for us. Sin is being impaired, not simply performing a wicked act. It is having impaired relationships and attitudes. It is being less than whole. It is having mixed motives. Sin is the clever rationalization by which we seek to escape from facing ourselves. It can consist in responding to a set of rigid moralistic 'oughts' rather than obeying the spirit of God which dwells within us," and then feeling very self-righteous about our pious attitude and behavior.
Sin is our damaged inner condition and results in our wrong or sinful acts. Our sinful nature contaminates everything we do. It not only shows itself in external acts, but also twists our motives and damages our emotions. It is behind every broken home, every empty life, every sorrow and grief. The disease of sin weakens nations, produces sick societies, and causes physical, mental and spiritual suffering. It causes men and nations to fight, kill and destroy. And as the Bible says, its end result is death.
God is against whatever is destructive to us.
We need to understand that God is not opposed to nor outraged by our breaking his commandment for his sake, but primarily for our sake. As Osborne also says, "Adultery (or any other sin) is not wrong because it is forbidden in the Ten Commandments; it is forbidden in the Ten Commandments because it is destructive of human personality. God is against whatever is destructive to us. His love for us is so great that he cannot see us destroying ourselves without suffering himself. It is the suffering of God symbolized by the cross, which is involved in sin. We suffer in our sins. Christ suffered because of them. His suffering becomes redemption for us [when we confess our sinfulnesss to God]... with true contrition."
Because Christ himself was sinless, only he could die to pay the penalty for and thereby save us from our sins. We simply cannot save ourselves. No matter how good (or bad) we are, we are all afflicted with the terminal disease of sin for which Jesus Christ is the only cure.
I read about a drowning boy who was struggling frantically to save himself. On the bank his distraught mother pleaded with a man to save her son, but the man made no move. When the boy weakened and gave up the struggle to save himself, the man then jumped into the stream and rescued him.
"Why didn't you save my boy sooner?" the mother asked.
"I couldn't as long as he struggled," the man replied. "He would have dragged us both to death. When he gave up the struggle to save himself, it was easy to rescue him."
We, too, need to give up the struggle to save ourselves from our sin. Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can do that. As we admit and confess to God that we are sinners, believe in our heart that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for all our sins, and invite Jesus to come into our heart and life as our personal Savior asking God to forgive us for all our sins, God gives us his free pardon and the gift of eternal life. This he promised he would do.
Why not pray to ask Jesus Christ to do this for you today? The following prayer will help you do this:
"Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner and am sorry for all the wrongs that I have done. I believe that your Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me. I invite you, Jesus, to come into my heart and life as Lord and Savior. I commit and trust my life to you. Please give me the desire to be what you want me to be and to do what you want me to do. Thank you for dying for my sins, for your free pardon, for your gift of eternal life, and for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen."
Hope you enjoyed this article as much as i did... Adapted from Love's most amazing story..

(yes.. it's tat bad... i aint no IT expert.. and i dun wanna bring it down to some computer shop at sim lim all by myself.. ) =p My brother ABSOLUTELY refuse to find out wad's wrong with it cos he's happily using his own EXPENSIVE HP lappy... to be exact.. he doesnt even know the com's crashing... haha.. wad are brothers for sia.. haha.. But he's a nice bro lah.. haha..
Anyway... i've been intending to get a lappy for ages... but nvr knew which one is good...read tonnes of reviews... got feedback from ppl... some helpful.. some not so helpful... you know who you are... haha.. Was so bent on getting a fujitsu lifebook S7xxx series..
Den i stumbled upon a great offer given by singnet... FREE LAPPY!!
Come on... free lappy.. who doesnt want?? the catch is that i would have to re-contract with them on their 10mbp BB plan... hmm~ got to pay 83 bucks per month... Ex isnt it?? 83 bucks per month... but if i change my BB subscriber to starhub.. it would cost like 58 bucks per month? so it's like an additional of 20 bucks per month for a free lappy... Myself.. i considered hard hard on this thought... additional of 20bucks x 30months contract = 600bucks.. extra.. but i'll defintely be having a good internet speed.. *Trying to self-psycho myself*
Oh~ btw it's a lenovo lappy.. R60... Lenovo's from IBM... a pretty good company which makes sturdy lappies.. hopefully this one doesnt fail on me.. i upgraded mine to a Thinkpad T60!! An additional of 608 bucks... from 512RAM -> 1G RAM; 80GB->120GB; DVD-reader -> DVD writer.. I do think that this 608 bucks is worth it..
