russ : hey bec..how do you spread your icecream so smoothly?

russ : oh. yours is a waffle. hahahaha.

sidenote : rebecca had chocolate ice cream on waffle. russell had caramel ice cream on CREPE with mangoes.

HENRY THE TURTLE!

sunday :
-in church-

me : i need wear an insole in my right shoe cos my right foot is half a size smaller than my left foot.
joy : your right foot is half a foot smaller huh..orhh..
me : no its half a SIZE not half a FOOT.
both of us started giggling for a good 2 mins.. [note giggling..cos it was during service]
joy : haha.if its half a foot..yar..buying shoes quite hard.
me : yar. i would have to buy one kid's size and another normal size.

i love joy. seriously.what would life be without my joyjoy.haha.

-at home-
after having a friendly banter..
drey : return the turtle!
mummy : huh? what turtle??
drey : yar. you dont know meh..we bought a turtle. its in the discus tank.
mummy : -walks over to the discus tank- where is it?? does your daddy know? the turtle cannot dirty the discus tank! where is the turtle???
me : -points to the filter- its behind the filter! daddy doesnt know.
mummy -starts panicking a lil-
drey : haha. go show mummy the turtle go.
me : -took the turtle from my room and showed it to mummy. much to her relief-
mummy : this one so much cuter la.



i love the people in my life.
haha.

my heart is in Your hands.
no matter how hard i struggle with You..please dont let it go.

ame told me once to commit all emotions to God.
and i am gonna trust in Him.
no no..andrea is not falling for anyone.
just thinking..cos everyone gets burnt by love..placing importance of immediate satisfaction..not seeing down further.
but its not easy being young and all.

i want to be found in Your embrace, let me lose myself in You and nothing else.

love unfailing, overtaking my heart, You take me in.
finding peace again, fear is lost in all You are.

yet another lazy afternoon yesterday.
made me miss the empty sports gymnasium in mg..after every training.
when the school is practically empty and silent and the sun sets behind us whilst we hull our tired bodies to the toliet..
to flood the whole area before heading to the canteen to have our tomyam noodles and orangina.
i miss the those days.
woke up thinking of stella..cos i suddenly remembered eugenia telling me that stella used to sing the stacy orico's song.
and i dont really remember stella much of a singing-often person.hmm.
i miss her. her optimism and her "nagging"..no no..motivational speeches..her "haiyah andrea!you know..." getting me to study and all.
and she is a super good persuader.cheryl usually gives in with a "ok la!ok la!"...or "STEELLAAA!!!"
you are missed miss-a-la-la-la-la-loong. =)

going through a somewhat pensive confused phase.
each time when i am alone or quiet..i feel as if i would go into silent mode for the rest of the day.
dont feel like talking much.
but the moment i am around people..i would go into this hyper-retarded random state.
i seriously do think i am retarded.argh.
running out of things to talk to people about too. i guess it boils down to my lack of general knowledge.
but one cant help it if one aint interested in stuff like that right?
i need to grow up. i know.
find me a neverland.

trust in the Lord's timing.
give Him your all.

isnt it funny how each time you feel like you've done so much for a person.
and yet the same cannot be reciprocated back to you. even just a listening ear.
the feeling is so frustrating. and yet..nothing can be done.
cos you still love the person too much to want to scold him/her.
and even if you do..you might end up just scolding what seems like a wall.
or worse..the wall will dig up all the past and throw it back in your face.
and it just doesnt seem justified. it just doesnt.

sometimes..
i wish i was less of a people person and find myself in seclusion more often.
i wish i was more vocal and outspoken when i need to be.
i wish i could open up to people easier than being on high guard.scared of getting hurt/betrayed.
i wish i would be less introspective and see the bigger picture.
i wish i didnt have emo days like this. when you feel like crying for no rhyme or reason.and the tears dont come.


hide me in the cleft of the Rock.
