more more Anntic stuff :D

i remember!!!

1) experiments on whether pick-up lines REALLY work hahaha (the conclusion is they do Not.)

2) pendulum water bottles and newton's law.

3) the (impromptu) metal rod versus the plastic-4-meter-long pipe war!!

yeah. it was fun. :)

and the part about "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Give to God what belongs to God." and while Jesus was saying that, he was holding up a coin that had Caesar's image on it.

So who has the image of God?

We do.

Give to God what belongs to God. Wow. :)

more AnnTic 2009 :D

yeah, my level of boredness is proportionate with the amount i blog i think. haha with there being no more timetable rulling my life (after AnnTic and exams and school), my brain is in a brainfreeze over what to do with ALL the HOMEWORK-LESS free time i have on my hands man.

totally.

i've been remembering random stuff about anntic haha. everytime i think about it i feel like laughing. maybe partly the boredom has to do with this "being in the same routine while enjoying yourself so much in the process that when the routine stops, you stop too." hmm.

1) We were so fascinated by our Chinese standard we tried to pray in Chinese for 1 prayer haha. needless to say, our enthu-ness didn't carry over to the prayer results and after the first sentence in chinese, joel reverted to english hahaha

2) there were ten thousand peace offerings going on for all the irritation that was caused -.- haha like a PIECE of sausage? a stalk of vege?!!!!! hahaha and then it got even bigger like an ice-cream cone and paying for lunch. they even felt so guilty that they initiated a "Be Nice To Jieying Day" oh my tian it was hilarious really. when is not going for star-gazing a crime?!! hahaha

3) the girls were apparently taking too long to bathe haha. we alrdy told the guys to start eating first then jem and i were waiting for liz in the chalet when voices started talking outside our chalet, REALLY loudly and REALLY deliberately slow.

"Eh, i WONDER how long the girls are going to take to bathe AH?"
"YEAH, like that we all DON'T NEED to eat dinner already."

and i was thinking when the first voice sounded, "Hey, that sounds like someone from my group." (i think it was only the 2nd day so i wasn't very familiar with their voices yet.) then the 2nd voice came in,  jem went to open the curtains to see who was outside. OH MY TIAN we almost died of laughter hahaha. joel hanyi and zhuneng la total jokers -.- BUT liz bathes really fast!! i took 20 min and it was alrdy a miracle for me! i dont know how they do it really.

4) there was this cold war going on when we were writing bookmarks for each other, which i was doing a very good job of keeping up until the Worst News Of The Century caused me to let out a scream of horror. haha. then after that obviously i lost the cold war. but Citadels after that was fun :D

5) oh and on the first day we just totally got lost at the m'sian checkpoint until we wound up where we started (which is BEFORE passing through immigration even though we'd ALREADY passed through and our passports were chopped) it was like "OH my tian, how now??!!" haha. and we weren't the only group!!! :\ haha

funny funny funny. okay see if i still rmb somemore in the following days haha.

i keep dreaming about anntic! and i dreamt of jerry the cat last night haha. aaaaaahhhhhhhh nostalgia. :)

AnnTic 2009 :)

aaaahhhhhh. i'm in total bliss after spending 6 days with the best people on earth :D haha camp was great. a great great time of refreshing and making new friends and worshipping and spending time learning new things about christianity :))

we do the craziest things. haha

1) the WINNERS of ice-breaking games get sabo-ed to do the forfeit?! (i totally anticipated it when i saw the numbers of "potential winners" dwindling and the game still went on man hahaha. and i thought, "they can't be making the WHOLE 100 over pple do a mass forfeit what!! it's gotta be the other way round." )

2) if i get a dollar for every time i roll my eyes at my group, and another dollar for when they use my copyrighted rolling eyes, i will be super rich. probably can pay for the next anntic alrdy haha.

3) THE. FOOD. WAS. AWESOME. TO. THE. MAX. it really can't get any better than that really really. it's better than the food my dad and grandma cooks!!!! and it's not even an old-person-who-has-gained-ten-thousand-years-of-cooking-experience cooking it!!!

4) the camp was split between pple who were willing to be dirty with the dogs, and pple who weren't. hahahahahahahahahahaha.

OH which reminds me, i have a haiku!!! :D

Fallen from the swing.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,
Ha ha ha. Ha ha.

(you must read it out aloud)

EET EES AY STROKE OF BRILLIANTES NO?
the second line is to convey the hysteric laughing that took over everyone after Someone (christians. no name-calling ) who was so sure he wouldn't fall off the swing (even after he saw a person in front of him fall off the swing) fell off. xD it's an ONOMATOPOEIA. :DDD haha (the lit. module wasn't wasted after all hahaha)
plus plus when you read it you start laughing too right???? so it PASSES the laughter on!! even if you weren't there to see him fall!!! it IS like TOTALLY a stroke of genius la just accept it. :D

5) my group brings out the worst in me. i am not an arguer!!! but the stuff we discussed really broadened everyone's horizons :) (when the few main "useless things" arguers --- i can't even rmb what we argued about. it was DAILY, WITHOUT FAIL arguments. --- weren't arguing about really dumb stuff and busy rolling eyes or raising single eyebrows.

6) actually i've fallen sick haha. i think it's the whole "sleep late at 2am almost everyday and 430am on the last day looking at (AWESOME) stars or playing Citadels and building totally based on the aestheticness of the building." :D and eating biscuits and milo for supper EVERYDAY.

OH I RMB ONE ARGUMENT!!! it was about how the names printed on the biscuit tin was the NAME of the biscuit not the FLAVOUR. "Don't think you're from law means you big!! How can FLORAL BISCUITS be the flavour of the biscuit?!!! it doesn'teven taste like FLOWER!! and flower's aren't included in the ingredients list!!!!" but i'm proud to say that in the end another law student supported me HAHAHA

and another argument was about whether the word "Yupi" from "Yupi gummy burgers" should be pronounced "YUUPI" or YUPPY. it's YUUPI right?!! and a MAJORITY who agrees on the wrong pronounciation shouldn't make it correct what!! if everyone agrees that eating humans is okay (like in cannibal tribes) that doesn't make it right what!! EVEN IF (pronounciation and meaning) of words ARE arbitrary. BUT the concept of right and wrong still stands right?!

7) 7 is the number of completion. therefore we have to walk 7 steps, or 7 miles, or 7 metres everytime to be with Jesus. And we cannot take public OR private transport because Jesus walked and didn't take the bus. HAHAHA deliberate mis-interpretation during IBS was funnn :D but they had 7 dogs!! 7 dogs (4 golden retrievers, 1 labrador, 1 dalmation and 1 st. bernard), 1 teenage kitten and 1 puppy makes everyone happy and i was totally in animal heaven when i was there!! haha

8) blue skies. hot sun. bleagh.
scattered constellations :)*
dogs licking your head.

HAHAHA *the smiley face counts as a word can? i wanted to say that when we were watching skies, joel/jeremy was the first sacrificial lamb when he said, "haiyah i don't care i'm lying down on the grass to watch the stars." then when were all concentrating on the sky, the st. bernard headed straight for joel's head and tried to lick it HAHAHA AND JOEL THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF US TRYING TO BE FUNNY!!! xD and the moment he saw the dog's face inches from him he LITERALLY jumped up and ran in the opposite direction!!! HAHAHAHA and we couldn't stop laughing haha.

the funniest thing is it happened again on the 2nd last night when the many arts pple were lying on cardboard on the grass watching the stars. and i suppose since there were so many pple instead of just joel, there must be an equal number of dogs. so the whole pack (minus the st. bernard) came onto the field with us and started attacking the "lying down" pple. and amidst all the screaming samuel thought it was a second shooting star and he was STILL lying down and going, "Where??" when the dog promptly attacked his head HAHAHA. okay i must be fair to the dogs. when i say attack, i mean they were just trying to lick human heads. but that ain't the full story either. they weren't attacking HUMANS per se, but attacking like the books/paper that we were holding in our hands (trying to save them from the dogs) so with (human) hands held high, the dogs were leaping up and it was quite scary. otherwise they would be play-fighting with each other and just be lost in their own world and CRASH into us and totally don't care that they were taking over "our territory" (ie. the cardboard) and making a BIG mess out of it. hahaha until we had to set up "human look-outs" to guard our fellow humans from the attacking dogs. "DOG ALERT!!!!!" and then everyone would shoot up into sitting positions xD

yarrrr i really enjoyed myself. :) loved my group mates haha - jem, mel, liz, johanna, joel, josh, zhihan, zhuneng, hanyi :D aahaha i just realised the number of girls and guys are the same!! being with pple from diff. facs opened my mind a LOT. everyday was a great day there, can't wait for the next anntic man!! :))))))

Dusty, Dusty.. MMM.

*dusts the heavy dust off*

*sneezes*

haha I'M BACK!! i need to stop repeating myself every post by saying i'm back hahaha but yayyy!! when i post means i have TIME :)) FREE TIME!! (seeing that today is hari rayah so it's a public holiday and this week is recess week so NO SCHOOL :DDD)

but actually this week is supposed to be used for studying la. nvm, we'll get to that........ sometime in the near future. haha i love uni life!! :D modules are fun, orchestra rocks and christian fellowship is great :) God Rocks man :DD

my favourite modules (are) THEATRE STUDIES AND ENGLISH!!! every lecture is either hilarious (for english) or interesting (for theatre studies) and theatre studies practicals are AWESOME!! we play games, and do tableaus (frozen scenes, but my spelling may be wrong), do dancing, project our voices and just really random stuff haha. seeing that I'M equally random, me and my module click very well :D

except for the night when i had to hand in my sociology assignment the next day (last minute: me again) and i slept at 2am.. :( which resulted in me not being able to remember lines cohenrently during theatre studies practical the next day, i've been getting adequate sleep!! :DD which makes me BRIGHT and CHEERY everyday haha PLUS PLUS i get to stone in Dudu's hall room every week!! :D can sleep in the afternoon. very fun :)))

PLUS THE FOOD ROCKS!! (if you know which stalls to go to. do NOT buy western, it's Atrocious.)

i love my life. i love my CCAs. i love my friends (old and new). have i said i love my life?? :DDD haha plus i still have ONE fish surviving!! i'm happy :DD until it passes away... then i will go into mourning :( what's the normal life-span for beta fishes (or longkang fishes) anyway? 6 months??)

today i got a very strong vibe in church during worship. - that we're Held In Infinity with God :)) like there's this horizonless expanse that's just turqiose-blue skies and creamy blue clouds and we're just floating in the middle of this infinite space. just us, and God. was a nice feeling :)

in case you don't check facebook, today i tried to make my fringe shorter (to save shampoo and water since i pin it up anyway, i don't need it so long) BUT due to my UTTER LACK of skills and whatnot, i ended up butchering it. hahaha. so now i REALLY have to pin it up. no more hairbands!! (cos my hair will just Flop over my eyes) :((( too short!! and i have this blister (from all my pizzing in the orchestra) that refuses to go away no matter what i do. it's interfering with my writing cos i can't hold my pencil properly!! so good la. will see what the outcome is man. esp. during mid-term exams hahaha.

=singing merrily off-key=  <--- is my favourite smiley hahaha neil gaiman is awesome!!!
