Today's post is gonna be boring. It's about 3pm when Wasis called me to join him to the cinema to watch "One More Chance". I agreed since I had nothing better to do and I felt that staying at home really stoned me. I guess I have had enough of staying in front of the computer playing games and doing all the boring stuff such as checking mails or browsing. It was kind of puzzling though, as One More Chance was a local movie. I didn't know that Wasis actually put any interests in catching local productions.

Later on, I finally found out that I was the only girl around >.<. I used to hate this kind of situation though. I thought it was funny and uncomfortable for you, as the ONLY girl, being among 5 guys. But somehow, I felt quite alright. Hehe.

The movie was kinda hilarious, but not THAT hilarious. Lol. It's about the lives of 3 men in Changi Prison, and the lives after they were released from the jail as ex-convicts. The movie is meant to support the yellow ribbon project, a project created by the Singapore government (if i'm not mistaken), to give another chance for ex-convicts and accept them in our unforgiving society. However, to me, the ending of the story sucks! It really did spoil the entire thing.

There was a heavy rain after the movie, which 'jailed' us inside the Cineleisure building. We headed to Es Teler 77 to have some dessert, and planned to meet Esther and Kribo after that in Takashimaya. Meeting them, we chit chatted for some time in delifrance (note: the topic of the conversation was about homosexual. . . lol). After realising that time flew very fast, we decided to move our butts off to somewhere and do things that are much more interesting than just talking. As it was kinda late, we decided to play pool. I noticed that Yusrin masters pool very well, hmmm, does he play everyday? *wondering*

No. He does not. Hehe.
How do I know?
Well, simple, dudes and babes.


I..

ask..

him.


Chey.
Gosh, I dunno what else to write lah.. Haiyah.. Nothing to reflect about lor.. Sigh.

Xplore Singapore, Palm Terrace, The Legends, Fort Canning Park. Haha.. yeah. I got to know this event yesterday from my friend, Jenny. She was forming a team of 6 and she quickly sms-ed me to join the team. I was kinda lazy at 1st, remembering it was about a game, hence it must be a race! Furthermore, involving things such as exploring Singapore, i could imagine the exhaustion of panting around Singapore, running like crazy all over the island just for the sake of winning. And the terrible part is, after you spend so much of your energy, nobody can guarantee you of winning the race.

Walking towards the 27-storey building where I lived in, my other friend sms-ed. "Are you informed about the game tomorrow? Do you want to participate? I don't mind joining, as long as there are friends around.." Well, i also were kinda tempted, to be honest, as i have never joined such events! So, yeah, joining the team was my final decision.

So instead of a team of 6, we formed a team of 7: Jenny, Sylvia, Cuppi, Frida, Dodi, Wasis, and I. Because we couldn't go in a team of 7, therefore we seperated. Dodi and Wasis joined another group, while the 5 of us girls formed another group. Actually, some unpleasant things happened during the game, but I am just too lazy to write it all down here. It's about the irresponsible marshalls who left the required stations, causing all of us to wait for them for about more than half an hour in the station! And to top it all off, it was not only 1 station that had no marshalls, but 2, plus the gundu gate master in Jurong East MRT Station who had no idea that we were actually allowed to pass the gate without our EZ Link cards. He spent minutes calling the manager to ask about whether we were really permitted to pass the gate without paying, and so on and so forth. In the end, Wasis' group got the 3rd prize. Mine? Well, I guess it is obvious that we didn't win any prizes, we only brought home our goodie bags, t-shirts, $35 off gift voucher from Tony&Guy, and some small tokens. But it was fun though, and I was quite thankful that we didn't go home with empty hands. (:

No. No B. Sigh. This last two days had been such a mess. First, IISO exam. I studied the whole night but ended up doing a foolish thing of not carrying out the instructions given. Instead of choosing to do 3 questions, I did all 4! My goodness! I don't know how will the examiner(s) mark my paper, hopefully they will be merciful enough to mark all the 4 answers and choose the best 3. Sigh. However, I still thank Him anyway.

Day 2 is Business Accounting 1 paper. I have studied, yes, everyone knows it. But guess what? In the day itself, i forgot to bring my calculator!! Heaven and Earth know that calculators are very much needed in Accounting. Had no choice, I did mental calculation which slowed me down. Apart from that, there were MCQs and we were supposed to shade the OMR sheet. I again didn't have a 2b pencil with me, but luckily I took the correct mechanic pencil (I have 2 mechanic pencils, 1 with HB lead and 1 with 2b lead, and I took the 2b lead with me, phew~). The questions were enough to make my brain burst. I couldn't finish my paper (which was obvious, I had no calculator!) but well, I thank Him, anyway.

Tomorrow is Macroeconomics paper. It is not meant to be difficult. I have never felt that Econs paper is gonna be difficult. Everyone can easily Ace it if they study. The problem is: I have no mood to study!! OMG! Suddenly I had a very severe homesick, which caused my mind to keep on thinking about this 4-letter word: H-O-M-E! Oh no! It is such a waste to get a B in Econs!! Where is my mood to study? What on Earth is wrong with me??

Speaking of missing, I miss Jesus Christ. Yes, I prayed every single moment, but where is He? He seems so far away, I cannot feel His presence anymore. I miss Him. I miss the embrace of His hands, the hugs and the love. I want to have a deep kind of relationship, like Abraham's and Moses'. I want to have a victorious life with Him. But where is He? The last 2 days of exam were ended up screwed. Accounting was the worst. I didn't think it was difficult, but yet I have no confidence in getting an A. It is as if I have forgot Him when I did the paper. NO! I shouted for His help, I knew He would be there to help me out, I knew He was there. I wanted to be more than others. Hey, I am the head and not the tail! That is what the Bible says. I had done what God has taught me that I should not lean on my own understanding, instead I should trust in the Lord and acknowledge Him in all of my ways, and He will make my path straight. I have done the "ora et labora" thing, I believe I have done my part! But where is God? Where are you, God?

Just when I was about to post this blog, I remembered my days in O level. Sometimes I was over confident over something, but too chicken to think about big things in another things. I thought I was going to score a C in English, but ended up getting a B3. I thought I was going to get B for science, but ended up having an A. Hey, what you think is gonna be different with what He is going to give you. You might think that it is impossible now to score an A, but who knows? Nothing is impossible when you are walking with God. The faith that you sow will not grow and produce nothing. You will reap something that is worth it. Having a hope in God and trusting Him completely to handle the rest will not do you any harm. I have done my part, what is going to happen after this is beyond my control. Our God is able. It is the matter of faith. Do you trust Him completely?

Chris, chris.. I hear ya!! Haha.. Wanted to update the bloggie but too lazy to do so.. Lol.. Im sorry I didnt write a single word in the month of August.. :P:P

Neways.. here it is, my blog fans all over the universe! :D~

So.. i met my ex junior high school (SMP) classmate a month ago just before the YRC service. I was so surprised when i saw him walking towards the hyatt ballroom. As an usher, I approached him and shook his hand, at the same time, said hi and how are you and long time no see and all those similar things. He quickly looked at me and said his name. (Oh, i won't reveal his name here, as i think it is not very appropriate) When he introduced himself, i was like, huh? I mean, hello, we were classmates back then, of cors i noe ur name! U mean u don't remember me? I replied, "Yea i noe, i'm Louisa, hey! Your classmate in K7!" He showed this bewildered face, and soon i realised that he really did not remember me! I tried to dig out his memory but it came with no result. Well, nevermind. I was soo happy that day as a lot of people i knew in jakarta came to the YRC, one of them is Yenny. I have never imagined that we would meet each other in Singapore! hehe.. so fun, happy. So the case of this ex classmate thingy won't go my way! U forgot bout me, thats fine, mate!

And guess what? I met him (the forgetful ex-classmate) again in Indo Freshmen Nite 2005! With another ex classmates (Christa, my good friend back then). And guess again! The forgetful classmate forgot Christa!! Oh my my! Is your memory really that packed till you have to delete our names off your brain? Well well, try to remember your other classmates, my man. You really need to, seriously. It is not very nice when you forget your own classmates' names! Hehe.

Urm, talking aboit IFN'05.. Held in Bestway Building and targeted for Indonesian tertiary students, it was not really a blast after all. It invited Joy Tobing, the first Indonesian Idol. I asked my Indo frens in TP (and Kelly from RP) and some of them came, but the event was not quite similar to what i have told them to be, or to what i have pictured in my head. The food was far from nice, the games were.....erm, on the borderline, i should say. Perhaps a BBQ would be much nicer, or more games would do better. I understand the tight budget that the committee faced, but hey, do games really need those huge budgets? I mean, police and thief alone was not enuff! We love games, TP students love games. It is fine to play caterpillar or whatever lame games, we don't mind, really! *i send my deepest sorry to all of the committee, especially to Andri, the event planner. Well, i'm not criticising you coz i understand the situation. I'm just telling what i think, and what the others might think. =)*

TP Group with Joy Tobing

What else? Umm.. Oh, I met Klara, an Indonesian, in BSC camp. Woohoo! I always love to see Indonesians in TP. It creates a sense of belonging, that tells me that I am not alone. Since all my classmates are Singaporeans, it is always nice to meet Indonesians, don't u think? Hehe.

Lemme think of other stuff to write. Mm.. I went to East Coast Park to cycle with Surina and Nerissa. Hehe.. the environment was ok, we had quite a fun. Again, we met an Indonesian waiter in this Indonesian restaurant. Guess more and more Indonesians are going to stuff Singapore, yeah? Lol.

My grandma was hospitalised on the 20th of August which created a huge panic among all the family. My mum from Jakarta and my aunt from Canada flew over to Singapore just to see her and my other aunt from Germany who was in Singapore that moment and supposed to be back to Germany the next few days cancelled her flight. I was in the camp and wasn't around the day she was taken to the Hospital. I felt a little guilty but what is done is done. She is fine now, just need to be monitored each time. =)

On the 30th of August, I visited my secondary school (BMSS) with Kelly and Razeenah, my 2 ex-classmates who sat behind me. We chatted with the teachers there and met quite a number of other former students like us. It is nice to keep track on what they are up to, coz at least you know that they are alrite. The teachers seem to be grateful to see us, and some of them is going to retire soon. I was glad that I visited the school that day as I wont see some of the teachers if i visit the school again the next year.

I guess that is all from me. I am heading to study soon. The main exam is coming on monday and i guess i have to be fully equipped to face the paper. I always desparate to get a B at least, and hopefully an A, but since my projects are screwed, i think i should not dream too high on getting an A. Hehe. K. please pray hard for me, i really want to grab the B! Gbu!
