1800-DIAL-A-PLUMBER

I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chatted all the way,
But she left me none the wiser,
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with sorrow,
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.
~Robert Browning Hamilton

no, i didn't write that piece:) though i wish i would have thought of it
it's quite deep and meaningful, eh?
but if i were to write it, i'd have been dead by now-.-

sonia says my posts are either lame, or emo.
I BEG TO DIFFER!
i'm just deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. thats all
i think a little bit more than most people,
and a LOT more than sonia:P

we're going to start chiong-ing as a choir again, soon.
CONGRATS HC CHOIR! you guys did misslim and singapore proud.
and though i can't say that we achieved the same results,
I know we did our best already,
and the circumstances were different for both.
so, there really is no point in comparing.
it will only result in negative feelings.
the important thing is to learn.
let every experience be a learning journey

haha. I sound so sophisticated:)
that only happens when i'm alone i realise.
when i'm with other people, it's as though my brain moves slower than my mouth
thats NOT because my brain is slow.
it's cause my mouth is faster;)

I'm doing CIP for National Day EVE
it's quite a pointless exercise, really.
150,000 plus students and volunteers holding hands around the north estate
it's suppose to be a shape of a heart.
but unfortunately, they were short of people,
so they SQUASHED the heart!!!!!!
how sad.
so now, we're standing in the shape of....
an unidentified stagnant object.

my nose is running like it has it's own agenda.
maybe thats it's idea of fun
it's certainly not amusing.
not to me at least.
grrr.it's flowing non-stop.
how frustrating.
i need a plumber, 1800-DIAL-A-PLUMBER.

i just had a random thought
it's strange how when you hang out often with a person,
you start adopting that person's lingo
and mannerisms
it's the monkey-see-monkey-do phenomenom
it's like we're trying to find a common ground.


i just had another random thought
could a person ever say the same thing too many times?
could a person ever count all the stars in the sky?
could a person ever count the teeth of an alligator?
could a person ever know how many more years a tree has left to live?
could a person ever know when the dead sea died?
If my nose keeps dripping, would i ever become dehydrated?
could a person ever ask too many questions?

how much is too much?



haha:) i'm inquisitive. i need to ask questions that i will never know the answers too.
and i need to answer them.

Living a Borrowed Life

i'm fascinated with bio:)


sometimes, it's just so amazing
about this life belonging to ME
this life that is made
from the dust and the dirt..

i'm feeling innocent and 天真

"蔬菜" is in the process of vegetating

there once was this little china girl
with XP -Xeroderma Pigmentosum-

it's a kind of condition that is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder of DNA repair in which the ability to repair damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light is deficient. This disorder leads to multiple basaliomas and other skin malignancies at a young age. In severe cases, it is necessary to avoid sunlight completely. The two most common causes of death for XP victims are metastatic malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

In case you didn't get the last paragraph, cause only bio students will probably understand,
It basically means theres been a mutation in her genes. For normal people, when our DNA is exposed to UV light it gets eroded. But we have proteins that are able to carry out DNA repair.
This mechanism is absent from the XP patients' cells.
It leads to growths and tumours and eventually---CANCER.

yeah. it was a pretty sad documentary. but no, i did not cry.
i'll just bet sonia would weep if she saw it:)
it's called
she has this huge tumour and growth on her face.
to cut the long story short,
by the time someone took pity on her and provided free medical treatment,
but by then it was too late.
while they made her more humanly recognisable,
they were unable to stop the cancer from spreading
6 months later, the cancer entered her lungs.
she died.

it's sad. but this is what stood out about her
she was optimistic and cheerful in spite of her situation
even when her classmates teased her mercilessly she still carried on living
and being the person she was.
her only hope and desire was this : that she could go to school and study

it made me think.
that living in Singapore, i'm priveleged and blessed.
to be in this place where i have GOd, my family and my friends by my side
to cheer me on during whatever dark periods i have
there is no reason to give up on life
i love this life that God has given me
i shall face the world with a bright smile on sunshine days and an even brighter one when the rainclouds threaten.

according to sonia, my posts have been depressing and sentimental and emo.
so i shall attempt to liven things up

OHHHH.
i just realised something.
i enjoy smiling to random strangers.
it makes me feel good, especially when they smile back at me.
and it makes me feel even better if they stare at me as though i'm an alien
cause it's unusual in today's society!
i'm extraordinary, and thats the way i live my life.

had PE with menon.
as usual, we exercised more by laughing and building abs than actually runnign around.
ehm. maybe it's caused i was the goal keeper... so... yeah
my team was strong la. so the ball never really reached my half of the court
in the meantime, i found ways to amuse myself.
i repaired the goal post.
i played with a dragonfly
i sang songs to myself.
i counted the number of clouds
i saved a few balls
i ducked when derek swung a hard ball at the goal

i laughed when nana kept calling me 蔬菜:)

eh. i wasn't stoning can?
look at all that i did:)

waiter waiter percolater!

yes yes. it's been a long while and this post is long overdue.
no, that previous post doesn't count because i didn't write it, so technically, i've been missing from the blog-o-sphere for a pretty long time.
many things been happening recently.
lousy CT results are but a small drop in the ocean.
no. actually, lousy CT results IS the ocean.
I've never felt so disappointed in my results before.
I guess i feel like this is it. this is the moment i confront myself with the thought that
"so, eunice, you're not that smart after all. you don't deserve to be where you are, among all the brains and the muggers. you shouldn't be here"

and like every sane person does, i SHOVE the thought out of my head.

and like every christian does, i replace it with prayer.

some people say that our class is too optimistic.
the same could be said for me. i'm way too optimistic
and that can be a bad thing.

i've been thinking quite a bit, and i've decided yes, this is time to reform.
i believe that i'm capable of more, and i will exploit my potential to the fullest
i'm not going to let myself down a second time, and i'm not going to let my parents down again either.

there was a brief moment when i feel super depressed.
for the briefest moment.
i felt like the person who wrote ecclesiastis.
everything is meaningless. a chase after the wind.
all this fuss about results.
what is the point?
and then the hugs and the 'cheer up's
reminded me of friends and family that would be behind me.
God's timely reminder of his presence and power in my life.

在天父家中
有许多房间
温暖甜蜜充满光和爱
但在他家外，还有多少人

i heard this song at peace chapel today.
yeah. the words were meaningful and powerful.
it's self-explanatory.
what i want to do about all the lost souls.







lead them back to the light.
