Adventure in Kitchen
[info]chloeyeong
I failed my blood donation this time round AGAIN!
Not enough iron again!

- I need to be an 'IRON' woman! Haha!






Finally bought my swimming costume and slippers today.

Prepared Shepherd's Pie with my bro and sis!
Better than last time!
It's been sooooo long since we all went into the kitchen to prepare a dish together! Haha.

Before and after baking.


We decided that we should try something different every week, when everyone of us is at home.

Anyway, there's a special ingredient in this pie 'cos I bought something special! Haha.

More to come! :D

Off to bed!
Goodnig.... Morning!


Coo-kies.

Had a fun time baking cookies yesterday at Julia's house with Sam, Tatcha, Nisah, Suaidah, Ridho, Marcus, Raymond, GZ, and Sam's gf.
Seriously, didn't imagine we would be able to bake at least 600. 'Cos we only targeted 200 in the beginning!
Thanks to Julia! Nice mistake! Hahah!

As I was walking home from school today, I walked past my primary school, the basketball court I used to play at, the area where I used to hang out at.
It just reminded me of so many things.

Seriously, how I managed to spent my time and days then was such a waste.
Thinking back, I'm thankful that I found Him.


Things to accomplish man.
Yet, I don't have motivation to do it!



It's such a temptation.........    :S

(no subject)

It's been sooo long since I updated.
It's like there's so much I wanna share, but yet, I don't know how I should put it.
Haha.

My sis is at home with an injury.
It's such a 'funny' situation of how she got this injury.

She was in school for her CCA, and there is PT, and she sort of fell, 'cos her leg felt weak all of a sudden.
Thankfully it wasn't a fracture or the breaking of bone.
It's just tissue inflammation(?).

She was sent home by her teacher and 2 other CCA mates, on a wheelchair, and with clutches.
SCARE ME man.


Anyway, had a super, duper sweet dream.
That would have made me cried in real life, if such a situation does happen. HAHA.

If he's seriously like that, it's like............. :)
Haha.


Shall blog more the next time I'm back!


Wa-hoo~
[info]chloeyeong

Is it something we'll just have to go through?
Probably in this stage of life, it is.
I seriously got no clue to it, and I don't know.



Haha.

Anyway, funny situation in school.
One of Tatcha's CDS classmate is my churchmate, whom I sort of know 'cos we served together in Children's Church for one day.
And you know, it's also like sooooo long ago. Think I was in sec 3 only bah. Haha.

The funny thing is, he thought that I don't know him, and I thought that he don't know me!
Haha.
Super funny anyway.

And, Yun told me she saw S in her school. Like finally, they're from the same course somemore, just that they're in different year.

OMG. Funny people, funny situations.

Just a nice song I wanna share:
Wilber Pan 潘玮柏 -  无重力

:S

Was watching this midnight movie on Sat (which would be Sun morning already), called "我的失忆男友".
I had actually watched this movie before, but, since I didn't want to sleep so early, I watched it.

This movie simply talks about the sacrificing love the gf had for the bf. This bf would faint and lose his memory of his gf, whenever he feels the love from his gf, even from the simple things like eating cookies baked by his gf.
It's something like 'selective memory loss'.

----> What are you selecting to forget in your own memory?
- Something that caused you PAIN?
- Something that caused you to SACRIFICE?
- Something that caused you ANGER?
- Something that caused you SADNESS?
- etc.

Was listening to this song "最后一次" online, and indeed, simple but not bad song.
Listen with your heart, and pay attention to the lyrics.



Had been having dreams that are sooooo weird, soooo sweet, and sooooooooooooo scary!!!
And, I seriously can't believe it. Hopefully it'll all be gone.


I met an elderly this afternoon at the AXS machine. He looks sooo much like my late ah gong from the back, and we actually got to interact a little (It's really a litttttle.).
Though it's just a little, I seriously think it's a nice one.
This elderly is seriously cool! - He speaks english fluently, he has creditcards, he knows how to use an AXS machine, etc!!!!
Seriously earn my respect man!!!!!!

Think he's a little younger than my ah gong bah.
Haha.
Interesting.
 


P.S. I need a new swimming costume!
Super malu on Friday man!
Thank God my sis was with me!!!!

And, I can't believe that I walked to CPF building Tamp from school (Some more I got lost somewhere!) , then back home from there. And from home to Tamp swimming complex, and from Tamp swimming complex home again.
- Somemore it's under the hot, hot, hot sun!!!!

:D 


CONTROL YOURSELF, CHLOE!

WHAT I DID ON CHILDREN'S DAY:

Volunteering for Kids BREAKOUT.


The words made with the stars made by volunteers, and even by the kids who were there themselves! There were close to 700,000 stars!


With one of the kid's balloon sculpting.
 

A few kids actually grabbed hold of my camera, and were preparing to catch me coming out of the toilet cubicle! With them.


The volunteers of Bedok FSC. And the temporary tattoos we had. COOL yeah? 


The host of the event was Kim Walkerman (I guess that's the spelling?)
There were small little competition, like UNO stacko, Bursting the Balloons, etc.

Back to the FSC.
Group photo with the kids.
 


The KIDS! :D
He's seriously handsome. Charming.


He's cute! And he's the youngest. Haha.


Ah pang! He seriously perspire a lot! A sporty guy! The guy who represented our FSC to play the Bursting the Balloons game. :D



Went back to TP to help out in Magical Autumn.
Seriously, from this particular event, I felt something strongly.
And I think it's shame - Not being able to speak my own dialect!!!!




WHAT I DID TO CELEBRATE MOONCAKE FESTIVAL
Celebrated with Cell!  





MONDAY 05.10.09: 
Went out with Step and Acap to Orchard Area, caught the movie Surrogates!
WOW man. HAha.
Nice time spent with them anyway. :D 

06.10.09
Happy Birthday Li Yun!! :D 


Can you ppl that the first picture actually formed the number "18"?
Great birthday 'thingy' ah! HOPE YOU DID ENJOY THAT 'THING'! HAHA.
*Tried something new together with Yun.


Just thinking if I should go for the Bizen camp or not.
I'm having second thoughts, after knowing that SOOOO many people from my class's not going!!!! :S
HOW SHOULD I MAKE UP MY MIND.

 


Happy Children's Day!
[info]chloeyeong

Happy Children's Day to all the kids! 

A busy day today! :D 
Kids' Breakout at SP in the morning, followed by helping out for Magical Autumn in the afternoon and night!

Great time with Jia Hui and Joyce for dinner.
It's been long since we spent time talking deeply. HAHA.
Well, whatever that means to other people.

I don't understand why some people just couldn't tell me the truth about something,
In the end, cheated me to something.
Wasted my time.

Seriously, I thought she was really so sincere meeting me out to catch-up for all the time we'd lost for like 2 years.
In the end, it was all a scam!!


Shall go and rest now.
Bye.


COMFORTABLE or UNCOMFORTABLE?
[info]chloeyeong
Seriously, during the holidays, there's nothing very much, very much to blog about.

LOVE REVOLUTION.

I was thinking of this particular subject on "COMFORTABLE or UNCOMFORTABLE?" for a few days, before CGM which was two days ago.
And indeed, during CGM, this topic was spoken about.

Dreams, visions, ideas, thoughts, have we lost them?
Seek and find them back.

Don't wait anymore.
Time moves.

Met a group of youths while serving in Children's Church yesterday.


Didn't know we'd click so easily!
 

It wouldn't be a one-day friendship.

 

KAYA, KAYA,
BUN, BUN, BUN! :D


Having dinner with JiaHui!

Hair change + Feelings of volunteerism
[info]chloeyeong

Went to cut and dye my hair today.
Supposingly, the hair colour I wanted wasn't what I've intended to put actually, but well, it turned out ok eventually.
Show you two very kuku photos. Haha.

Quite another experience again. :D 




Well, just sharing some of my own thoughts and events for last week:

I was helping City Care for 2 events with Yun, first at All Saints Home last Wed, 02.09.09; and second at Canberra Primary for their New Singaporean Workshop on Thur, 03.09.09.

For the Wed event, I was simply amazed at the amount of strength I actually had, 'cos I only had a total of like about 5 hours of sleep for my whole three days of chalet. Upon reaching home, I wasn't able to sleep also, that's why I went to do my own manicure! HAHAA.

Helping out at All Saints Home with primary 1 & 2 kids (think they're from North View Primary, or North something Pri) enable me to see so much. It's not something that I can see just by what I'm doing currently. It requires the crossing over/cutting of a 'fence' (I would say). 
It isn't that hard to get through. You'd just need to step out, and cross over; or simply take that 'big scissors' and cut a big, big hole and squat-hop over it. Haha.

The kids are easy to handle, for they are young, and they'd actually quite follow your questions.
As for the old folks, some are them are quite happy-go-lucky kind, while some, you could tell, are those who are grouchy, grumpy.
They didn't like participating at all.

One of the funny incident that took place was, we were having this game - Passing the Parcel (where packets of "man tous" were inside it), where music is played, and the parcel is passed, whoever the parcel stopped at when the music is stopped, will be able to collect a packet of "man tous" from the parcel.
There was this uncle who was just taking a packet at almost every round. Seriously hilarious. Then another auntie was like scolding him with vulgar! Haha.



As for the event at Canberra Primary, I didn't really get to interact much with the kids, though we did have "yan shen jiao liu". HAHA! :D





NOW, I feel like tearing my throat apart!
The PAIN~!!!!!!!!
SORE THROAT, GO AWAY!


Funny video of 'older me'

I miss the old times man!
Haha.

You can find many more videos of the 'older us' over there!


And, I'm gonna dye and cut my hair tmr!

45 lessons of life.
[info]chloeyeong

This is something we should all read at least once a week!

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.  It is the most-requested column I've ever written.
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: "

1.   Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2.   When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3.   Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4.   Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5.   Pay off your credit cards every month.
6.   You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7.   Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8.   It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9.   Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10.  When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11.  Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12.  It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13.  Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14.  If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15.  Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16.  Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17.  Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18.  Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19.  It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20.  When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21.  Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22.  Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23.  Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24.  The most important sex organ is the brain.
25.  No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26.  Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27.  Always choose life.
28.  Forgive everyone everything.
29.  What other people think of you is none of your business.
30.  Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31.  However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32.  Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33.  Believe in miracles.
34.  God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35.  Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36.  Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37.  Your children get only one childhood.
38.  All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39.  Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40.  If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
41.  Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42.  The best is yet to come.
43.  No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44.  Yield.
45.  Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

WHAT A MODERN WOMAN WANTS
[info]chloeyeong

It's worthwhile taking 5 mins to read this essay. Have read this before and it is definitely worth having another read...

Singapore girl wins Commonwealth essay prize!
A 15-YEAR-OLD Singaporean, competing against 16- to 18-year-olds, has won the top prize in a writing contest that drew 5,300 entries from 52 countries...

In the annual Commonwealth Essay Competition, Amanda Chong of Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) chose to compete in the older category and won with a piece on the restlessness of modern life.

Her short story, titled What The Modern Woman Wants, focused on the conflict in values between an old lady and her independent-minded daughter.

'Through my story, I attempted to convey the unique East-versus-West struggles and generation gaps that I felt were characteristic of young people in my country,' said Amanda, who likes drama, history and literature and wants to become a lawyer and a politician.

Chief examiner Charles Kemp called her piece a 'powerfully moving and ironical critique of modern restlessness and its potentially cruel consequences'. The writing is fluent and assured, with excellent use of dialogue.

Amanda gets (S$1,590). A Singaporean last won the top prize in 2000, said Britain 's Royal Commonwealth Society, which has been organising the competition since 1883. Singaporeans also came in second in the 14- to 15-year-old category, and fourth in the under-12s. Other winners included students from Australia, Canada and South Africa.

4 ways to win her attention
[info]chloeyeong

Women of today are independent emotionally, mentally and financially. So do women really need men?

4 Ways To Win Her Attention

The answer is a resounding “Yes!”, and the reason why is simple. God made woman to be a helper of equal abilities, strength and character to man. And both man and woman need each other to live life to the fullest, to experience emotions that cannot be replaced by material goods, pets or the Internet.

It is indeed challenging to court a lady of today and to win her heart. But fret not: Here, we share with you the “be” attitudes of winning the hand of the fair maiden.

1) Be bold and secure

Women like men who are confident and secure about themselves. There is yet a fine thin line between confidence and boastfulness. Confidence never oversells while boastfulness is an attempt to sell something that is not entirely true. Respecting women for their abilities, while taking an initiative to protect and care for them is a skill many men lack today. So do invest your time in reading good books on relationships, and learn the differences between the thought patterns of man and woman, so you will know how to engage a woman without feeling like you’re walking on thin ice.

2) Be a gentleman and show generosity

Women like men to shower attention on them, especially so if the man is particularly attentive to her needs, likes and dislikes. So be observant. If you see a lady at a party that you are interested in, and you notice that she’s having trouble holding her wine glass and plate at the same time, be a gentleman and offer help. The “Ladies first” rule always works, particularly in every day situations like holding the lift door open and letting the ladies exit first. Such everyday situations sometimes lead you to the right woman.

Generosity leaves a good impression on anyone. Pay for her meal, drinks, and purchases once in a while. Women tend to think that stingy men are less likely to dote on them in future.

3) Be charming and conversational

Unfortunately for men, charm doesn’t come in a potion bottle. Instead, it is an innate ability to hold a decent conversation, maintain good eye contact and send vibes that you are genuinely listening and interested in the other party. Most women like men to take the initiative, to engage them in interesting conversation. While most men have a lasting first impression of how women looks, women often have a lasting first impression of a man who is friendly and who gave good conversation peppered with humor.

4 Ways To Win Her Attention

4) Be sincere

Sincerity is expressed beyond words, gifts and actions. It is a combination of it all and most importantly, it must be genuine. However, take note that you do not want to be “overly” sincere and give the wrong idea to women you have no intention of dating. Most men have a “hunter-prey” mentality. They will only focus on the woman they have identified as “prey” and ignore all other women. Such behavior is uncalled for because if things don’t work out with the “prey” then they switch attention to others, it could earn them a bad name — women talk, and they talk fast. Your reputation as a man is highly valuable. Hence, it is entirely possible to be on friendly terms with others without any ulterior motives. Be friendly but firm if you need to draw the line.

Decided
[info]chloeyeong
Well, it's been long since I last posted on LJ.
But well, this blog is just for me to post the random stuffs.
Probably, no one reads this blog at all.
Haha.

I was just thinking if I should post everything that's postive and happy at my blogspot blog, and all the sad and negative here?
RESULT  :  I would be too confused with what's going on in my life when I read through my blogs next time.

CONCLUSION  :  I will blog more on my life at blogspot blog, and as for livejournal, it'd be for random, lame, and probably just those stuffs that I 'kope' from the internet.
