after 3 failed attempts to getting my singpass cos mum wants to know how much in cpf, i finally succeeded on the 4th attempt. and u know what's the reason? i should box mself for this.... i'm supposed to add a comma to my name! Soh XX XXX, Pamelia.
crap. i feel so silly. and the funniest thing is that, i didn't realise there's supposd to be a comma, because there's an ink mark on the comma on my ic, and yes, i thought its simply a pen mark.
oh well, next step is logging in. seems like internet dun like me. haha, will try again lar:)

orientation was silly, quite a waste of time if u honestly asked me. the theme was that we were stuck in tv world and had to surf through different channels to find our way out. the different channels were game stations. sigh, and the council pple kept laughing over some internal jokes, which really was irritating cos we didn't see how funny it could be. so, the point is, dun join council. tsk still ask us to join the ''most happening'' group. bah!
however, the fun part was when we won the fashion drag where we choose a girl and a guy from our group, then they dress up as the opposite sex. goodness, we won hands down!crude and quite disgusting...BUT WELL... starbucks vouchers which will be used for our next orientation outing. yippee! and some bash ticket at st james on 25 august. all included in our orientation fee of $17. quite ok i should say. thank God the lunch was great too! alright, besides that, i think it was worth coming, otherwise i wouldn't have made a few friends that would help when it's time to form project groups. and one guy was from tp bit 22 years old, his birthday is 7th may! so close to mine, i found that little bit of info interesting, and he is quite nice to talk to. at least i found a friend through that too! oh well, i think i should learn to talk more talkable stuff. i'm getting quite boring and the pple are not all that exciting as well but that's ok, things will be fine somehow haha.
for now, thinking of what cca to join. not really into committing but when anyone asked me what i was going to join, i said to join ALL that interests me, and then try out for a month or 2 before quitting all and stick with 1 or 2. haha, here goes the list: seasports, ODAC, christian fellowship, singing, dance, bowling, pool, dive club etc... well, singing is out after i heard the pple sing. they can sing OK, but they dun look like what i hear. not being mean but really, there is no balance between singing and looks, not very presentable as a cca leh. worse, some guy ruined some songs while on stage, the whole of SIM must have heard them cos i saw everyone cringe at the same time he tried to hit that high note. sigh, looks like he needs to go to Lee Wei Song himself instead of some other instructor.
lessons start next thursday, shall start getting my 2nd hand books soon. half price leh! haha, anw use for 1 sem only eh. everyone's going to korea! i want clothes and kimchi. thank u:)
oh thanks chris for the nice wetseal tee! i love wetseal:)

went back to work today, things have changed but pple stay the same. eg, they changed the saucers, plates and bowls to plastic ones, which means i dun have to carry all that heavy stuff anymore! haha. well, JE was sick so poor thing, she still shared her apple with me:) her bf was nice to finish cutting the apple i cut halfway to get him his drink. haha, anyway i do hope she really likes the fake gucci i got her! it's really just like mine except in black. oh and she wants to improve herself by looking for part time studies, will tell myself to rmbr and look hard for brochures and info that will help her. the others, still enjoy work but i know they feel bored and already have plans to move on. well well, i shall see where ben goes on to and follow him if the place is good. this kind of part time jobs never last, haha, its really the pay that makes the world of part timers go round. anw, today was slack because its a weekday and i got to eat kimchi soup made by kitchen pple. really tastes good except that it was so spicy i was tearing a little at the end of the meal.
oh, i also taught clara how to be nicer - when pple talk to u, even if u're not listening just show that u are - like saying ''i see'' or ''orh'' or ''yah'' or SOMETHING when that person goes on and on. it helps alot u know! of course, i'm sure if u are truely nice, somehow u will be listening at least to 50% lar, no matter what, i still think response is important, so get started if u realise u r guity of such an act. your friends will still love u:)
anw, tmr's orientation, can't wait, really. i want to have fun and make good friends who will be the best project group members and be good help when its needed. AMEN!
the idea of exchange, transfering to RMIT Melbourne, internship - looks so good!
will have to start working out again, for the upcoming races that debo signed us up for. not yet, but planning to and i'm glad to have found a friend in her, thanks debo for making me laugh with your laughter. haha, let's run!
ok, really have to sleep to get through the morning rush tmr.

soon, school will start. i'm scared, what if i can't cope after a year's long break i took from school? what if my uni life is as boring as my poly life? will the friends i make in school be nice? i don't know, but really just trust God for everything. I have no choice, if I don't trust God at this point, i'm just going to fail big time. and this time, uni is very important and crucial to me, and i dun want to 'breeze through' like i did in poly. they say one mistake leads on to another, this time no more mistakes. ah, i'll be pulling yeow yeow to go and study at the airport very often, i foresee...
b4 i get myself ready for school, i've been looking back in the past year - family, church, friends, they've all changed. my parents haven changed much, besides the usual quarrels abt the same things for the 'past 20 years' (as i quote my mum) and all kinds of businesses they venture in and out of, at least i feel that my relationship with my siblings have improved. i love my brother, for being irritating sometimes in such a smart way that i dunno how to answer him. and my sister, no choice lar, same room - everything also will know, somehow. church, moving powerfully, i do feel lagging behind. i know i am growing spiritually, as compared to the past, i can hear God. but as what pastor mentioned today, if i want to grow more, i have to go! of course, fear is always present, personally though i signed up for 100k, i still ask for strength from God to succeed. friends, made new ones, seen old ones and understood them better.....there's just no time to catch up with all!!! :( some, though we seldom meet, they still feel close to my heart. some, i used to think were pple i could share my heart too, now feel so faraway. like i was talking to my sis on the train abt pple in church we call 'friends', i sounded as if i didn't like them. it may sound as if it is the case, but what do u mean 'u like' and what do u mean by 'u don't like'? it's more like the things they do rather then the person. anyway, just feels like church friends are not as close as b4. i can't talk to them like i used to. i dun feel as comfortable as being with them, it all seems to be getting so cliquish. sigh, maybe its me who has changed more? hah, whatever the case, at least i know who i can call and that's most important to me, i guess.
i also thank God for the wonderful stint i had as a RT. was wonderful because I made new little 'friends' - wonder if we'll still keep in contact as they grow older. some are really so sweet! and i def understood more abt the whole system. colleagues were pleasant enough, and i do hope to hang out with some of them soon!
oh, i realised that i've bcome more sensitive and teary lately, when i'm both feeling down or glad, it just...happens lor. aiya, must be the korean dramas i've been watching. ha, ain't going to stop!
well well, whatever the case. i'm looking forward to orientation. oh God, pls pls pls make it fun! that i'll never forget - i want a happening uni life! haha:)
wanted to post photos but links not working properly. sigh, internet so lousy, hopefully school internet rawks. that's all for now, photos another day.
ohoh! welcome mr andrew khong back:):) we can't wait to go 'swimming' soon:)

came across a blog from my cousin's blog. it's about the couple who lost 3 children - it really touched me to know that God is still There for them despite their loss. Really serves as a reminder to treasure our lives and the people around us.

I just know the couple will continue to trust in the Lord and continue to be blessed. The Devil canot rob them because they are God's beloved. Bless them.
