ALAS.

its quite scary. ytd i was having the stomachflu feeling for almost the entire day. and it kinda worsened nearer the evening. and in essence, i only ate a gardenia sweetcorn bun, charis' leftover lunch, and 2 slices of whitebread. the KFC smell was totally killing me i almost puked.

VBS rehearsal was rather fun and at least we've got things more settled down. and i.. i'm supposed to act as the maidservant in luke 15 haha. indeed. we've got a good cast, and all we need to do is be able to bring the message across effectively. before rehearsal had a good time of prayer YEAH. :) thanks fellow comrades for praying for me!

returned home ytd, bathed, and went to bed at 11pm. but i couldn't fall asleep until muchmuch later and i realised i was having a fever. so the entire night i was in and out of sleep.

walked daniel to school at 815am, then came back and slept somemore.

had dinner at sakae today, dad's birthday celebration so called. haha. but mom and i couldn't eat much cos we're both down. so i ate like, chawanmushi and some greenpeas and a plate of crabsticksushi. yup!

countdown: 5 days

tomorrow gotta restrest must force myself to rest. will not do anyone good if i'm sick!

the hamlets have been growing and growing! though they're still small, they're not as tiny, and less red. and they can tumble out of their little house haha. got some videos of 'em in action in my phone uber cool! come look for me if you wanna see it! i'll miss seeing their growing journey during the week i'm in cambo. if my laptop's bluetooth was working, i'd post real pics here!

daniel's been sick since sunday so i havent been able to get out of the house. he puked like 9 times the entire sunday. but he's better now and going back to sch tmr.

the dengue phenomenon is back. and there has been a surge in the numbers of mosquitoes. i can literally feel it. my limbs are infested with gross bites which i can do nothing about. and today, we managed to kill a total of at least 17 mozzies in our house. and there are still some more that we missed. so, looking at the numbers and how much they're attracted to me, i'm really quite worried about getting dengue. bleah :( mom came home and announced that a certain someone from church just got admitted for dengue. on a sidenote, i'm on antimalaria pills for the cambo trip.

countdown: 7 days.

its all happening so fast! next week at this time, we'll be in cosi hopefully preparing for bed. and in the wink of another eye, we'll be back here again. things are looking better but everything's still rushy. but all the worrying doesn't stop me from looking forward to the trip! it'll be truly wonderful and fun, no doubt :)

tmr will be a packed day. meeting ALOOF at concourse at 1130am, then lunch & down to church to do more props! and rehearsal starts at 6pm. hope all goes smooth tmr. YEAH.

his strength is perfect when our strength is gone
he'll carry us when we can't carry on
raised in his power
the weak become strong
his strength is perfect
his strength is perfect

THIS IS EXCITING.

daniel's hamster gave birth to 5 pups last night (or perhaps they're called, hamlets?) haha :) the 5 tiny pups are truly so tiny! well they're like red and their limbs are so tiny. slightly bigger than kidney beans. usually, the mom's on them, literally, covering them up and warming them cos they ain't got no fur. but i managed to capture afew videos on my phone when the mom was away feeding herself. and haha i fed the mom kraft singles (yes, cheese) so she can lactate and feed her pups milk. so exciting!

you hardly can tell when the hamster's pregnant. just all of a sudden, small red moving things appear and you're like, she was pregnant! its just nice to sit there and watch the mom, and watch them. will be interesting to see how 'ey grow.

got this off the net, but they look exactly like that. not cute now, but will be in a coupla weeks!


prep for mission trip is heating up! rushrushrush. c'mon everyone, we can do it, together :)

i really wanna go shopping. man.

i'm an official slacker now haha. and for the next 3 months.

vcds, more vcds, jodi picoult. mission trip prep.

got my bum outta the house today, caught spidey3 with daniel. walked to tm, bought tics at 1145am, walked some shops, went to pick daniel, came home. went down to eat, and walked back to tm for the show at 230pm. hmm. i'm not much of a movie critique, but it was interesting. and this sequel kinda like reveals what actually happened during the first two episodes.

harry osbourne turned good, which is a good thing! because it'll be sucha waste if he remained bad. handsome people shouldn't remain bad (delusion in progress tho, because we all know that's not really true in reality but then again shows are to escape from reality)

just last night it occurred to me. its like 2 more weeks to the BIG TRIP! and there's really so much more to do. so many people still having exams and all, ain't that good either. BUT. we'll charge and chiong soon. the wheels have started turning. watchout people. obedient flock's hit the block.

meeting PS on saturday for lunch-like finally. like you say, partners need to meet up and share & pray for the ministry tog! cheers, to the start of our great walk together.

THE ANT STORY. is what i'm gonna share at the next OF meeting. inspired by the line of ants i see when i turn my head left. somehow, they've survived the baygon infestation. more resistant genes, i see. will the fittest survive?

that's it for now. but i hereby declare my need for
SHOPPING.
