hahaa, my design education was tested, when a ladaye with her broken slipper stood fumbling in front of me. i offered her some masking tape, but of course she was apprehensive and doubted whether it'll work. and srsly, if you were to tape it down at the side and shove the strap back where it came from, the tape would have defintely peel off. well, instinctively, i stuck the strap; down to the platform, sealing it from the top. and it was so firm! She'll defintely be able to get to the office.

work was super duper busy. octkberfest' season brought in the crowd. eh, although all the staff including thoes in the kitchen was getting quite irritated, when the hungry crowd, were being pushy. one guest pulled me out to dance, the german spinning round thingy, which i got quite irritated abt too, i wouldn't have minded if it was a normal day. but yesterday was really busy, and it's not like i was standing around doing nuttin' and hurrr, hungry people aren't happy people alright. i didn't even get to stand around for a mintue. and drunk people are not happy people when it comes to billing to. and shiitykgop thoes tables that have to split cheques, and only want to pay for what they ate for, like how are we supposed to do that, when you've got 12 in one table, we have 100 over guest, how on earth are we supposed to remember what you eat. guish.

aiyee, then we got paid for ot, and only like the 1 or 2 hrs was real work, and after tidying up the place, we ordered lots of food from the kitchen. the sausages were yummy, and i must ssay the ocktoberfest beer is the best mongst' all the beer we ever had. it's the most drinkable at lest', then we played like a live band with the equipment the german folk band left behind. i played the keys, christen played drums, and pangyet sang. it sounded pretty good (: even the guest that was on his way to the gents was clapping and cheering for us (: hahaha.

ah well, am so tired now, got home at like 330. pffft.

aiyyee. it's ocktoberfest, i'm sick, and i have submissions ):

i am at the "i just want to design something for myself" phase again. but i can't, because there's so much school work. i have all these ideas exploding in m mind and it's killing me.

perhaps one day, when the sky is blue again.

i took my eos for a spin last sunday, and man, the colour brilliance is excellent.

i've come to a conclusion! if you can't give quality, then stuff it with quantity, it'll make you look like a hard working student at least.

dear 3rd YA SG,
fri 8pm church. aiyitte?

i filled in 4 weeks of work over the last two days, it's quite a whole lot, but im really hoping to put in more "inspiration" pages in, it's rather stale now, full of creative process & developmets, but none for the self. i want that class one for this, i think it's easily attainable for this.

work is cancelled for the rest of the week.
the closed the road we're on.

so go do your journal cheryl!

project week day was a waste of time. considering the fact, it was way too easy a project, the juniors didn't show, we did their share of work too, and still managed to finish earlier than the dateline. and it took away one day of "catch up time".

i love walking in the rain.
i love the way each drop trickles across your skin.
i love the way water splashes when you walk in puddles.

it's funny how you always regret later.
the rain was too long, too cold.
and i'm aching all over now.

You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality.

i love walt disney for this (:

hello, i went to flea markets today. and i recorded it in my journal! (: one at zouk and one at maad. no prizes for guessing what i got. earrings duh. and guess who i met? i met ginette chittick at zouk, she tried to poach me to her stall to buy some clothes, i greeted her and scooted off anyway, damn it's weird shopping at your lecturer's stall.

and claris finally got to eat her stingray for dinner, she hopes it's the one that killed steve irwin. i'm telling her it's irony, steve irwin was trying to protect the sting rays, and there she goes killing them. sigh, he died in vain.

Lol, i dont usually read chain mails. dino sent one, and mwhahhahaa what on earth.

OFFICE ARITHMETIC

she was like "didn't i get you some the other day"
and i said "yeah i finished it, i use tape really fast"

and she came home with an enitre bag of tape! like rolls and rolls of double sided tape in all sizes, scotch tape, uhu glue stick, and uhu glue.

hey boo!

weddings are such happy occasions. shopping for dresses is fun. gosh, all the embroidory and entricate beads and details, are wow wow. but as cole says "all dresses are nice, too bad, only one wedding".

you know, after hearing lydia and cole talk abt the superbly yummylicious ice cream from france, that you'll so want to eat even if it's freezing cold, from thoes 100 flavour shops. i just had to get some ice cream. i went down to venz and bought home a take away tub, so it's not from france, but it's still yuuuuum. and yay! ice cream high! and the rum and raisin all gone now ):

dear claris,

now, this is a real turtle.
and this, is the merdusa one.

get it?
get it?
and stop messing with my mind! you're the messed up one.

ephisians 4:17-32

alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. That is not the way you learned Christ! For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus. You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil. Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labor and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

perhaps it upsets me to see these new christian girls on the bus with such shallow understanding of what it means to go to church and to be a christian. but i can't blame them for they had such little exposure and understanding to a certain church they go to. i know im not in the position to judge, but i really can't agree with what this church teaches. you know how it is when you meet a christian, you just know he or she is one. leaving these girls aside, i really can't see how the people from this church really try and lead this life of a disciple of christ.

apart from school, there's so much that's been going on lately, just too tired to write. and all these weird dreams that seem so real, start to confuse me, it's weird having to find myself doing stuff in the middle of the day, remembering these incidences as if they were real, then having to spend some time to decide if it was real or not.

hey.

you know how it is when you meet a completely random stranger for the first time, and become aquaintances, and hit it off very well. i can think of at least 3 people over the last year that i very much enjoy getting to know and talking to. ha! and somehow all of them happen to be christians and design students! ha! and really, it's funny how well you can get along with someone you hardly know at all. (:
-

you know how it is when you find it hard to give certain perople the same respect you once did because of a big mistake they made. funny isn't it, how one incident can change your entire opinion of a person, and all those merits, arent even enough to amend it all. i guess it's comprimising your own values if you can't practise what you preach. but yeah we're all human, so shite happens. maybe we're just making too big a deal out of it, you hear it all the time, and it's almost everyone in your midst, so...

schooooool is buuusssssy. but cheryl isn't, which means she has to cut some slack.

i remember how it was in fs when we went with little sleep during subission weeks. and now it seems like almost every other week's workload is just like submission week, but we aren't as busy. perhaps we've all grown accustomed to this lifestyle and the kind of work, & have picked up the pace.
