of labels and boxes

i've decided that i want to start penning down all my ideas in coherent paragraphs here.. not merely allowing them to float around in my consciousness. by ideas i mean like. theories, thoughts. insights... opinions, observations... not just simple daily events or happenings. heavier stuff not just for entertainment.

why? cos i don't want to let the label of "science student" or "future business graduate" cripple myself. allowing myself to think that i won't be able to write as well as any journalist or GP teacher, just because i'm not formally trained in that area or am not engaged in that career. i will not make myself fit into boxes! or consciously embrace labels! haha. see, a result of lectures at SOT. it seriously screws with your mind (but i guess, ultimately for the better).

and also cos i've always thought that no one would want to read about my muses. the "cheem things". the wordy affairs. "readership" will decline, people would just skim through my posts and then think that they're wasting their time on my blog. haha. but i realised, why should i be adjusting my content to suit people? its what i want to write, what i want to express, and this blog will function according to how i purposed it. it'll be a challenge to myself not to care about what other people say - "think she's trying too hard, using all those fancy words and talking about idealistic things." at least i know i've tried, though i may flop terribly, make grammatical errors, use some words inappropriately.. i'll know i was willing to stretch myself and accomplish far more than i would have if i stayed in my comfort zone. and practise articulating my points clearly.. not just having them fuzzy and unrefined in my mind.

i thought of a million other reasons, but i can't remember now because im carrying out a discussion with samuel and farrell (eh maybe only farrell. sams not responding) on msn. hahaha. I WANNA LEARN HOW TO MULTITASK! boo.

anw, i'm really sorry for not blogging about my bday celebrations yet. its just that there's so much to write, i don't dare to start becos i'm afraid im gonna take the whole night, and thus feel guilty for blogging cos i hv an exam on monday. so i guess i'll blog about it after GP, i'll probably do so with more ease. but i must mention i'm ultra BLESSED and GRATEFUL for all my wonderful friends who cared and who made efforts to make it a special day for me :) thanks for the love yo. and not forgetting, thank You God for showing me the capacity, that love Man can give - and reminding me, how much more greater is Your love to me? :)

hog's breath cafe!

haha oh my gosh i haven't updated in sooo long!

hmm but nothing much been happening i guess, just my attempts to study hard and to stay close to God.

oh yeah national day. nee's bday. :) read frm his own blog!

went for Singapore Short Cuts at national museum today! was a great experience, first time in the museum and first time doing something arty for a change. haha. didn't regret it all! was looking forward to it and wasn't disappointed :) personally i liked fonzi the best, probably cos it was the most open to interpretation. and it had some content as well as technique. superDONG was hilarious, the gallery was laughing for most parts of that film :) learnt what a 8mm film meant, the saturation of colours and feeling of timelessness. lol. good time good time!

hmm we had fellowship at hog's breath cafe at chijmes! 11 of us, enjoyed myself man :) took sooo many photos. had the prime rib cut (dont really rmb the name), but its really gd, better than phin's steakhouse or surfnturf. really. but then again i think its cos i had a better cut. but i ate abby's and it still tasted better than those places. ok mayb phin's is comparable.

aaaanyway, the food is really not bad. heh. the waitress was realllly friendly and nice okay. serious. caroline braided my hair! haha. and then the cake came in. hahaha. thanks guys. :)

im kinda tired so dont feel like elaborating too much. after everythg jolyn and i braved the crowds to marina square, hung out for awhile, saw yewjin *ahem.* talked somemore, went home. teehee. let the PICTURES speak for themselves!

anyway, i'm really thankful for this bunch of ppl. AKUOU! i know that you all will always be there for me, celebrating with me in the joyful times and mourning with me when i'm down and out. i'm so thankful i have this group of friends in my life. knowing i'll never be alone. thanks for all the blessings and i pray i'll be as much as a blessing to all of you too! LOVEEE :) :)
