Natural Air-con

Today, the air-con people came to service my air-conditioner because a few nights ago, it was leaking, again. I guess it's going to be a monthly thing now as my air-con will always have this weak point of wanting to... leak. Anyway, I moved down to the dining table to continue with my Math when I realized how good it is to just stand at an open window and feel the wind. Usually, all the windows in my house are closed so it is always very stuffy. Just now, you only needed to open a window and you'll feel like there's proper ventilation in the house again. I love rainy days for its cooling effect. Yet it can be so annoying as well, especially at times when I need to leave the comforts of my house, like going to HIS Connection. Well, I arrived at HIS Connection with 7 stalks of sunflowers for the teachers there. I was so happy carrying it there and it made me even happier to see their surprised smiles when I gave them a sunflower each. Later, they placed all 7 flowers in a vas...

Amy & Eugene's 18th birthday Celebrations [LONG entry]

Image
Seeing that Amy is my best friend and Eugene's my cell mate and friend of whom I've known since P6(I think), I took up the job of being the "party planner". The 18-year-olds in my church always do it the normal, un-surprising way of buying a birthday cake at the last minute to celebrate, but I decided surprises are fantastic, as I've learnt from hanging out with One-Third, so I should share this joy and fun with the 18-year-olds in my church too. Therefore in this entry, you'll see snapshots of our preparations and finally the celebration of their birthdays. The other photos can be seen on my Shutterfly website. FRIDAY NIGHT We had cell group meeting at my house as per normal: We played DIY taboo as an ice-breaker and here's Simon trying to explain "trepidation" to his clueless group. We tried this layout for worship because lyrics weren't printed and I didn't have any OHP or projector at home so we resorted to this. Cool, right? ;) Anywa...

Cutting of Fringe Part 2: I succumbed

So I succumbed to peer pressure and Bella followed soon after... now I've an annoying fringe, and I've only just gotten it for a few hours. Had to blowdry my fringe and it's POOFY, like Jien's! OH dearie me. I'm uploading the photos now, so check out my sidebar for the latest updates as to when the photos will be available for viewing! :) FYI, upcoming photos include: 1) Cutting of fringe - It's an add-on to the "Cutting of fringe" album I already have on my Shutterfly website. 2) PE session - We played mini tennis, it was a 6-on-1 affair. One-Third minus Bella and Daniel against Mr Soh. 3) Dog photos! - I said in my previous entry that I'm making an effort to take more photos of my dog right? So here they are for your viewing pleasure! Please feel free to leave comments on how CUTE he is;) 4) Random One-Third photos - I'm making an effort to take more photos of us in school so that we'll have more memories in print!

Random thoughts

1) Poor Keller got his dinner three and a half hours late yesterday because my maid wasn't around to give him the food. When she called to say she won't be back until about 8pm, I asked her if she had fed Keller already, to which she said no. So I gave him his food at 5.30pm. This afternoon, my maid came to me at about 2pm and said she had fed Keller already so I didn't need to worry about him starving or something. I said, "So EARLY?! That's not dinner, it's like, lunch!" But my maid told me 2pm is his normal eating time actually. Oh dear, I feel bad... Well, I've been making extra effort to spend more time with him after dinner every night. Taking more photos too after discovering that my dad took many photos of Churchill when we first got him. 2) My dad said this just now while I was eating durians with him, "I think in this family, those who like durians have an interest in law." 3) Personal message to Birdy Thia: I've linked your blo...

Baby photos

One day, One-Third wanted to "exchange" baby photos. So I spent about half an hour on Thursday night flipping through many photo albums at home to find photos of myself as a baby. I didn't find alot but whatever I found, I just brought it to school. Here are a few that I thought I can "show off";) A photo of me when I was only 1 year old. My parents both tell me that I was a very bald, smiley baby. So I have hair here, but from certain angles I looked a little bit like a boy because of my lack of hair. At one photo, my dad thought I was my brother! This is a photo of the 2-year-old me with my first dog, Churchill. My dad's favourite breed of dog is the bulldog. So I guess he was so excited about getting Churchill. We have about 3 albums of him, while I still can't find a WHOLE album of myself as a baby. How sad is that! BUT, the point of this photo is to let you compare our sizes - I'm about the same size as Churchill! After seeing this shot, I'v...
