Fun = Aching (?)

Had a good Saturday. Went bladding again. (Yesss.. I know.. I am addicted!) Supposed to meet Claire & Geir as well to blade, but they would only meet us later. Yan and I were early when we got to East Coast Park again to blade (LiFen couldn't make it.. so only Yan & I.. once more.. I say.. Thanks for fetching me, Yan!), we decided to rent our blades from another shop. The rates are much cheaper, $6 = 2 hours, last week's rental from another shop was $10 per hour.


BUT the minute, I put on my blades.. I felt it was as if it had no friction at all and I was petrified. Yes. The word was petrified (+paranoid that I will end up in the sea cos the sea was just in front of the blades rental shop..)
Blade as usual and when I went to the SAME hump that (per my last entry I nearly fell.. thanks to Yan..) Again.. thanks to Mr. Yan Tze Shin, who was busy passing remarks to scare me before I reached that hump .. "Pris... Mt. Everest Hump... Sure U can pass it? Sure u can go pass it? Mt. Everest leh.. Rem the last time.. like last Monday? Today the rest not here to catch you.. ra ra ra ra.." Went over the hump *Eeeeeeekkss!* Wham! Landed hard on my butt. *Pris wails* Yan laughed and asked if my butt grew orchids not!!! (In mandarin, there's this saying about 'Pi Gu Kai Hua' Butt bloomed flowers from swelling..)


Rested my 'orchid' butt (skin the back of my thighs but no where else injured.. Thank God!!) for awhile.. we sat by the chairs by the beach and chat while waiting for Claire and Geir. Red Bull promotion girls on blades came pass and offered us free chilled red bulls.. hmm.. not bad.. free drink. Hehehe.. After almost an hour of resting.. continued bladding since we reckoned C&G would most probably not turned up already. Blade all the way to Old Fort Road, and blade our way back to the rental shop. Nearing Mt. Everest Hump, I declared I am not gonna fall down 4 times in a single day and took off my blades and walked barefooted back to the rental shop since it was quite near. (My birkenstocks were in the locker!) Yan joined me (He could have bladed back actually.. haha) and we were yelping from the blazking ground when walking barefooted.


After that Yan drove me to Tiong Bahru where I am supposed to meet Ink & TY and Gab & Merv for the great cookout! Went grocery shopping & I headed down to TY & Ink's with Gab when he saw me at Tiong Bahru.


We spent 3 hours in the kitchen cooking up Tandoori Chicken (Gab cooked this himself!! So Cool right? Another guy I know who is keen on cooking.. other than Paul who has potential to be a great chef.. this guy cooks DUCK can!! I am drolling at the thought of Paul's food..) And TY cooked delicious long beans, carrots & dried shrimps (I loved it!) and Broccoli Fried Rice (Yummylicious!!!) and we experimented on cooking Oyster Kailan and I cooked Stir Fry Sweet Chilli Chicken on glass noodles. So much food!!!!! But the food were tasty... I must say the Stir Fry Sweet Chilli Chicken is my FIRST ATTEMPT (and it turned out.. quite nice? U think, guys? Hahahaha fishing for compliments.. thick skin..if not, pls tell me so I can improve)

Bathed after dinner cos I was disheveled after bladding.. but TY & Gab say I dun look as if I had bladed..(Anyway check out the pics on Ink's --> http://www.pagesofink.com/) And felt so refreshed after bathing.. and we top off our dinner with Dark Chocolate & Tartufo Gelato with Alfred's Chocolate Swiss Roll Cake..* Pris feels as though she is in 7th heaven.. (Well actually yes.. cos Ink's place is on 7th floor) so nice!!! Junming joined us in time for dessert.. and we all played board games while TY & Jm played Zuma.

What a wonderful Saturday!!!! Enjoyed myself to the max though I fell 3 times and skin myself and I am aching right now like an old grandmother.. but it was all worth it.. Btw.. Gab is already thinking of what to cook on the next great cookout.. Anyone keen to join us? U can be our experimental guinea pigs if you dare.. :)

Locus of Control

Locus of Control Test Results
Internal Locus (59%) Individual believes that their life is defined more by their decisions and internal drive.
External Locus (41%) Individual believes that their life is defined more by genetics, environment, fate, or other external factors.
Take Free Locus of Control Test
personality tests by similarminds.com

Learned this during one of my modules, Leadership Management Style (LMS) this semester. It's basically about raising your own self awareness to be able to manage yourself as well as your suboardinates in an organisation. And one of the topics, well.. not topics but tools to use to increase your self-awareness is Locus of Control. (Okie, it's all coming back to me now .. esp after my exams..)

It's whether or not someone has stronger internal locus of control or external. The results above explained itself. But in our studies Locus of Control goes further to determine if in a situation where something goes wrong, if the individual tends to blame others more (external locus of control is high) or blame yourself for what went wrong (internal locus of control is high). Nothing to be judgemental of but just to increase your self-awareness and supposedly make you a better leader going forward.

Now I know why....

Hmmm.. was sharing with Khanh, my didi just now about God and the bible.. We were talking about the first alienation that caused a gap between Man and God which is why God had to send Jesus to bridge this gap.
Told didi about Adam and Eve, that the first alienation was in Genesis 3:8 where they hid from God after eating the forbidden fruit. Hid = Avoid = Gap formed.
Then we talked about Lucifer the fallen angel. And then it dawned on me.. *almost like God switching on my lightbulb* why does God dislike disobedience so much. Cos his first protocols (if I may call it) Adam and Eve and Lucifer who was supposedly to be close to Him betrayed his trust by disobeying Him. I don't know if I am right but it doesn't matter if I am right.. what does matter is that it makes me realise why obedience to God is crucial.
Imagine you are God and you got betrayed. How would you feel especially if its betrayal from those that are dear and close to you? Exactly how you feel.. was how God felt. Thank You, Lord for showing me why ... especially when I have a tendency to rebel.

Amazing Vesak!!

Amazing Vesak!!
Yessss!!!! I had an awesome, amazing, wonderful, fun, good, cool, great.. (ok.. U get the picture) holiday today!!!!


I truly enjoyed myself to the ultimate.


Woke up this morning (from sleeping at 2am.. lack of sleep here!!) as Yan called to say he will be at my place to pick me up in another 5mins time. *Pris Panicks.. have yet to decide what to wear, what to bring along to change, comb my hair... etc. Yes, I am a typical girl*


It was already nice of Yan to come fetch me though we were heading to East Coast Park and he is staying in the East side of Singapore. Am in Central Singapore. Sweet of him, right? ?He is Mr. Nice Guy and NOOO, I did not bully him to fetch me.. he volunteered.


Met Yan and we went to Eunos (For my didi, Khanh's sake.. its pronounced as "U-nos") to pick LiFen (*ahem*ahem* Yan is LiFen's potential.. wahaha..)


And before LiFen came, Yan & I went to had out breakfast at Eunos market since LiFen told Yan over the phone that she had a bun for breakfast already.


Afterwhich we went to the train station to pick LiFen up. I decided to sit at the back of Yan's car as I don't want LiFen to misunderstand that I am her *cough* rival.. Hahah.. U know how women are in such things. And Yan was chuckling away on how ridiculous I am for sitting at the back of the car while he drove to the station.


Reached East Coast Park and good grief!! The park was packed with lots and lots of people. Yikes! Feels as though I am in some hypermart grand sale and everyone's rushing. And oh yeah.. the weather was so humid and excruciatingly warm... less than 10 steps from the car and I felt myself melting.


Saw Claire and her beau Geir (He is getting taller??? Nah.. I think cos I am not wearing heels as compared to the usual times from office I saw Geir).


I was about to rent a bike to cycle when LiFen asked me if I would be roller blading.


*Gulps* Me? Erm.. I told LiFen that I do not know how to blade at all.
LiFen: Try La..
Pris: Erm.. I wearing shorts.. later I fall.. very malu (Embarrassing in malay?) and I dun wanna skin my legs..
LiFen: Can la... I also can't skate previously then learn already now can.. Try La..
Yan: Yah la.. Pris, try leh. U try..I try..
Pris: *Double gulps* Errrrr....
Yan & LiFen: Yah.. try la.. Pris.. C'mon.
LiFen: I am a slow skater.. I won't go far. Besides, Yan isn't fast anyway.
Pris: Riiight.
Claire & Geir: Are you bladding, Pris?
Pris: Ermm.. alright. Ok, I'll give it a shot.
LiFen: Yay!! You can hold onto Yan's hands and blade.
Pris eyes widen: Crazy!! Never!!!


So yes, instead of cycling. I went roller blading today. Rented a pair of skates and was wearing the necessary protective gears and the skates and surprisingly to myself, I was able to stand on my own. LiFen was sweet.


She held my hand, taught me how to blade for the next 15-20 mins and then she let go of me to let me blade on my own. Claire and Geir were the experts in roller blading, they zoomed passed with Noriza and Noriza's friend; June Ong on their bicycles.


Yan, LiFen and I were blading slowly. Yan & LiFen were nice as they orbited around me like a satelite to ensure I was fine. I did had a few (well more than a few) times I nearly fell and screamed for help..but Thank God I didn't fall.


LiFen taught me to manage my balance and to go over humps and because I had a wonderful and patient teacher, I was able to blade on my own throughout the rest of the rented time of almost 2 hours?


To the last part, when we were returning to the roller blades rental and there was this 1 hump, I was trying to get across but 'rolled back' and Yan tried to grab me but he himself had difficulty going over the hump and he let go of my hand..which is fine..
BUT he pushed me away as he himself was balancing and cos of his push, I nearly fell backwards... luckily for me.. Claire caught me from the back, I was about to fall though cos I lost my balance on my blades and LiFen tried to hold me but it made me lose my balance more and in the end, Geir and Claire had to catch hold of me as Geir lifted me up. Thanks, you guys!!!


*PHEW!!!* Thank God once more that I never fall and YAN TZE SHIN!!! U PUSHED ME LA.. IF I FALL BACKWARDS and LAND ON MY HEAD... U GOT ALOT OF PEOPLE TO ANSWER TOO!!! hahahaha.. *Trying to send him on guilty trip.. though he doesn't read my blog.. hahah.. will send it to him.. hahah*


At the rental, there was again another slope, the guy at the rental was nice, he pulled me up and I was busy chanting to him "Dun let go.. dun let go.. plsplspls... its a slope" And he was saying "Dun worry, I wont. I wont. " And he helped me took out my skates later.
When Yan saw that, what he say?
Yan: Wahh... Pris.. U got chance liao
Pris: Are you crazy???
Yan: He helped U up the slope, take off ur skates for you... how come he never take out for others?
Pris: So? He was being nice and I am not a cradle snatcher.. he is very young and doesn't mean I must marry him what. Lost your marbles ar?!
Yan sniggers.. Pris goes >.<


Too bad no pics.. if not it was really fun. We chilled out at Macdonald's at the open air area.. had our drinks, chat, and it started to rain. Dun know why, at that moment I felt as though all of us were in some cafe in Europe or out of Singapore and chilling out and having fun. Nice!


After that, Mr. Nice Yan sent me to Dhoby Ghaut MRT to meet my churchmates for Timothy class at KC's. LiFen and him went to plaza sing for lunch as well. *Hee hee... *


K.C's place was amazingly white in decor... his fluffy dog was also white and really resembled a Cotton ball .. his name is Cotton.


Cute, but I am not an animal lover.


After Timothy Class, we walked around here and there looking for a place for dinner. Finally settled at Funan and Gab pointed out that we walked for an hour already. (I was thinking in my head.. Yay!! More exercise!!! hahaha)


Anyway, I think I got hooked on bladding. Quite fun. Thinking of getting a pair of blades now after my Eurotrip and go bladding with these folks for it has been fun. Hmmm... blades? Yes.. I think I will!! Living in Singapore has another meaning now.. Another activity that I am keen. Hehe.


Came back home, bathed and felt sooooOo good.. refreshed, not sticky from today's exercise and humidity, and text didi to tell him my Amazing Vesak day today. Hehe.. Came online and he was also online. Cool. This is indeed a great day! Praise God!

16th - 22nd May 2005

Hello cupcakes!! One whole week of no blogging.. and I'm Baaacccckk. Hahha.. Well, actually I wanted to upload some pics here of my current new work station which is a.k.a fish tank to let some of you see why it's call a fish tank and as well as compare the difference between the previous work station. The pics are in Patrico's (a.k.a lil P) cam (Seeeee... Lil P, I do mention U on my blog ok.. so much so that my caregroup leader Ink also know ur name!).. and once he is able to find his USB .. he will send them to me. So cupcakes.. U gota be patient. hehe. (Goes the same for me as well.. dun know when Patrico will send me.. *HINT*HINT*)



There was nothing much going on from Monday to Thursday for me.. except Friday onwards. Friday 20th May 2005, had a firedrill - skipped it.. refused to go down for a silly firedrill (not from 26 floors ok, people!!!!) Was the only one holding the fort for my account on Friday (Feels like big shot, Grahame in Sydney, Lien on half day leave, Liz T. on leave, HB holidaying in HK.. so left MEEEEEEE). Anyway, today was also the Star Wars Episode 3 night.. free tix sponsored by the firm.




Speaking of Star Wars.. check out this hilarious blogspot webpage I found while surfing the net..


It is hilarious.. got so many versions of just ONE scene from star wars!!! Anyway.. as crazy as this sounds.. I went online to check out the databank of most of the star wars character. (Did I announce that I am NOT a Star Wars fan?) Well, I am like this.. I like to search on something to find out more about the characters.. (after the movie..hahah.. ironic..).


Interestingly, I found out amazing facts about Amidala.. and Yoda (He is only 0.66m tall for ur info.. shorter than ur 1 arms length..) So if you wanna know about star wars character.. check out this site.. pretty cool:


After movie, the usual gang went to play pool.. I was sooo tired.. my eyes could barely be kept open .. plus contact lenses were dry. But cos we paid for "pool buffet - $19.80 from 11pm onwards to 3am..as compared to $10 per hour?" so we played till 2:30am. Went back home .. eyes nearly popped and crawled to bed after washing up.


Sunday.. TODAY... went to church.. normal.. went to see Eirene who was at work today with Ang Guppy and had a good catch up with her. Glad to see her happy. Went home and prayed.. read the bible and was singing praises to Him for about 2 hours.. SO REJUVENATING. I admit, I have not been reading up on His word religiously since I passed my bible to my bro.. which was like I think almost 1 month back. (I can hear my CL and shepherd gasping already.. hehehe.. kiddin)
Its a no wonder I felt spiritually empty.. easily irritated by people who think that they are more superior than others.. irritated by people who put up a front to act oh so mature just cos they're afraid to show the real them .. afraid that people will not want to know them or befriend them when they be themselves and just hang loose for even a while..seriously.. i think even if they can't loosen up for just a wee bit.. i really wonder why do they impose that others behave and react and think like they do..I know I am irritated.. cos everytime I encounter such people.. I feel like screaming into their heads "HelloOo... No man is an island.. We're sharing this earth.. and pls be more selfless.." lack of patience (well.. I always lack of this but its even worst) and found myself rebellious as well. After I read up.. I really felt so much better... and I was thirsty for His word.. so much so that I found myself preparing for the Holy Communion that I was supposed to be in charge of.. in the week or weeks to come. Gonna read regularly.. I feel elated. :) Okie.. its late.. another long entry but too bad.. U guys know I dun care... hahaha.. Tomorrow am... heading to East Coast to cycle.. WooOhoOo.. I am so gonna ache all over.. especially my *patpat* (butt) but I love it!!! Aching means.. er.. I burned some calories? hahahaha... self-denial.


Looking forward to this coming Sat's cookout 2 at Ink's & Ty's.... whooppee!

Funfilled Sunday

Wow.. I realised I am indeed blogging with a frenzy since I got my comp back and since exams were over. (Like what Ink said!)


It was a funfilled Sunday. First off all... I am so proud of myself *pats my own head.. haha* cos I woke up early in the morning for church and actually WALKED to the train station for the first time EVER for church. *Applause!!!!* And was early in church as well!! *Double Applause!!* Hehehe...I have NEVER walked to the train station for church before. It was always bus or cab.


2ndly, after service we hung around at Marks & Spencer's cafe for a CG evaluation and then later on went to attend a talk with Ink, TY and Gab. It was a good talk about faith and I agreed that faith is a process. It's like from zero faith to mustard seed faith and the growing to "moving mountains" kind of faith and then to something much more. But to have faith, we must believe, trust and desire. Only then would the process grow. faith has been something I guess we all struggled with. But like what Donald said.. our faith is not consistent and finite, but know that God's faith is. That is something I find very re-assuring. My God is the same today and forever. Hallelujah!


After talk we initially wanted to watch "Million" and as the screening time was much later.. we decided to chill out at Ink & TY's before the movie. At their place, TY had a brilliant idea. She suggested that the gals cooked while the guys do their stuff (played LAN games) and we'll just have dinner and that's it. Movie was cancelled cos somehow or rather the online bookng could not be confirmed. Hahah... how queer.


Anyway, TY and I had a blast of a time in the kitchen. We had 4 dishes for dinner!! 1. Tandoori chicken & onions (Dun know how it is.. but everyone finished all the food.. so i think its either they were very hungry or they were being nice to the tandoori chicken TY and I cooked. (She cooked the rest.. I basically chopped alot of vege up for her.. heheh) 2. Stir fry brocolli, carrots and zuchinni (?) sausages [which I liked very much] 3. Stir fry Cabbage & carrot 4. Boiled quail eggs (TY say wanna finish them.. ). After a nice wonderful homecooked meal, Ink brought out.. GELATOOOOOOOOOO... Nice ar.. Dark Chocolate and hazelnut!!!!! *Yummy..* spoilt rotten!!


Annnd... would you believe that after dinner, Mervyn taught me how to play DOTA? or was it Warcraft? or Both? Aiyah.. u guys know la.. its a guy thing. And I was busy screaming away while playing whenever I was "attacked" by the er... scourges? cant recall the exact name. Ang Guppy & Mervyn were busy chuckling away at me screaming. I was going "Eeeeekkkss.... !! RUuuUun!!! GooO Awaay!! Arrrhhhh!!! Yiikkes!!!" I screamed so much that Ink who was in the kitchen came out saying "what happen what happen?" So ... switched game.. switched to what? Switched to U.T .. er.. unreal tournament? Or was it Unrealistic Tournament? I could never get it right. But it was fun.. much better than Warcraft. I didn't screamed that much. FUN!!! *Addictive ar!!!* played a few rounds and we decided to call it a day ..


Wanted to take a cab home but decided against it.. so I took the train and walked home from the train station. It was quite pitch dark tonight when I walked home but I was jumping with joy inside. So Fun! What a funfilled Sunday!!


We gota do this more often Ink, Merv, Gab and TY!!!! Btw.. .I suggested to TY.. next dish we try if possible would be gyozaaa....

Keys to my heart??? I wonder...

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

From Paul's website.. I tried it out.. HmmMm...interesting. I think quite true that I usually find myself attracted to mysterious people.. or should I say schizos? (Hot inside .. cold outside?) Haha.. kiddin..

Friday the 13th...

Friday, 13th May 2005. *Ta ta ta dum!!!!!* Rabbit's foot? Lucky charm? 4 leaf clover? Don't walk under ladder cos of bad luck? Anything that will go wrong will go even more wrong (? what am I talking about?!) on Friday the freaky, weird 13th?


Well.. sorry to disapppoint all of you .. my sweet ardent fans. I did not have a freaky, weird or 'everything went wrong' Friday. In fact, I had a S*U*P*E*R*B Friday everrrrrrrrr!! *Ahem clears throat.. ready for a long blog? No? Too bad for u.. I am.. Wahahahah*


Started my Friday at work (well I was late.. ) at 920pm (*everyone GASPPP!!*) okie thats not the point here, I went to work as usual.. switched on my comp and while it was loading.. I was spreading my peanut butter and jelly (what flavour? Grape!) on my hi-fibre white Gardenia bread (and this is where u goooo.. "like we care!!! just trying to make u guys picture my sandwich..) and was chanting under my breathe "pls not too many emails.. pls.. not too many emails" (I am covering for my supervisor, Lien who was away in Hong Kong.. *envious*) .


I was chanting and hoping I wont get alot of emails cos I wanna leave early and on time today for CG as I was one of the discussion leader for today's CG lesson and I was excited to serve God. When I saw my emails I was like .. hmm.. quite a lot.. but to cut grandma's story short.. the Lord was magnificent.. cos I managed to clear my emails (including those emails that I was finding out the answers to reply the expatriates.) down to .....*drum rolls* only 4 emails in my inbox.. ANDDDDDDDD taking into account the following considerations:
1. I was late for work.. so I started late.
2. I had quite a few calls today and I had not much time to reply emails
3. Grahame called a last minute dept. meeting to announced that Dom was leaving this weekend cos client wants him urgently back in London. So he had to fly this weekend and it meant this would be the last friday, we will see him. Though he is not my in-charge and we do not work on the same client.. Dom has been nice enough to buy us spinelli's coffees or teas on him most times he went for his teabreak (He's brit. no offence to u, didi!!)
4. We had another dept. meeting to have cakes as a farewell for Dom.
5. I went to Wisma Atria for lunch with colleagues and came back to work at 2pm... I know.. my bad!


*All of the above just sums up one thing: time wastage and YET, the almighty helped me clear my emails and work..* How?? Well.. I had a few calls.. from HR and though it meant that I would not be able to read and reply to emails and activate services for assignees, I got confirmations from HRs and with the answers and confirmations, I could reply the expatriates.. in which results in my emails diminishing from my inbox folder to archive.


One thing I wanted to mention was that .... Dom was really nice. As mentioned that this was his last day here in Singapore, he went around asking all of us if we wanted coffee..when it came to me.. I said can I? He said Sure! And asked me what I wanted.. told him Skinny latte (my fave..take note u guys!!haha) and asked what size I would prefer for my skinny latte. I said small and he said small was for kids and said he will order medium for me. When he returned.. He got me a LARGE cup and was nice enough to ask me if it was alright for me..if I can handle it.. if it was too much.. *Feels like a princess at this moment..* hahahaha.... I know.. I am spoilt by alot of people.. but I am not that spoilt la.. (am i?) Anyway.. i think its really sweet of Dom to have done that for all of us and I noticed that the rest had.. er.. Medium size cups? *Pris felt blessed*

*fast forward*


The day soon ended and I headed to TY & Ink's for CG. Arrived on the dot (according to my watch) and Weeleong was the chairperson.. he was a hilarious chairperson.. not in a goof up manner.. in a well done yet mischeivious manner.. Merv was the worship leader this round and I enjoyed his praise and worship.. Reina was in charge of holy communion and she never fails to amaze me .. her holy communion was cool.. like a pro. After that, we acted out a skit of one of the bible chracters - Jonah..We were picking names from a bag to determine who played what character and guess who was King of Nineveh??? No bonus points if u said Pris Tham ....
It was fun and after which I had my first discussion ever!!! Thank God that it was an in depth sharing.


Sis Ty said last night when we were running through the leader's notes to help discussion leaders that the first person you pick to answer or share the experience would set the depth of the discussion.. the members in my group were busy and did not had time to do their CG homework..but praise God.. (now that I am blogging and recalling back..it suddenly dawned on me) when I asked them to share on their experiences and everything.. they were quite shy so I started sharing first and the discussion and study on Jonah soon led to an in-depth sharing and learning as well. I am indeed thankful and encouraged by what was shared by the members in my group.. Yixi, Reina & Alfred.

Alfred was appointed to close the discussion in prayer and I was touched that he prayed for me and said that the discussion and sharing was in-depth.. actually right now as I blogged..
I still worry if the discussion was applicabel to them and if it was how God wanted it to be.. but I just give my best .. let my heavenly Father do the rest..(CL Ink, and CL wife TY, if you are reading this.. you may however wana do a more accurate feedback with the members of the discussion group).. hehhe.

Once more.. I wanna thank God for providing me with an opportunity to serve Him. Wanna thank my CL and Shepherd for giving me the chance as well as guiding me. I learned a lot and it is indeed a joy to serve God. Also, wanna thank my discussion members for being patient with me and also for trusting me enough.


After the caregroup session, we went over to Joel & Evelyn's which was nearby for Evelyn & Elaine's birthday celebration and had Haagen Daz coffee ice-cream.. Nice!
So here you go.. this is my Friday the 13th for you .. and I hope your Friday the 13th was superb too. :) Have a lovely weekend y'ol.

Hilarious...

Once more, I thought I had nothing much to blog today. Typical day.. and oh yeah.. thanks everyone for your care and concern. I am no longer peeved.. cheesed off.. angry over my broken spectacle lens. It is truly sweet of everyone (Credits go to: RY, Cheryl, Ink, Didi, Gab and Olivia) who asked me what happen to me cos my msn nick then was "Angry Pris".

Anyway, before I drift off to talk about something else. As I was saying that I thought I had nothing much to blog today.. (I can hear all of you go ... "YEeessSs..Pris. .you just mentioned that and we know... dun be such a nag cannn? Muaahahaha... like I care.. haha) I was searching for songs for the week where I am leading praise and worship during caregroup (still got sometime before the actual day but kiasu-ism = scared to lose, and as I had nothing to do and I am someone who likes to prepare before hand preferably..) when Mervyn said Yo to me online on msn.

We chat and talked about P&W (praise & worship) since he's gonna lead this week (U go bro!! Gambatte!!) and we were exchanging songs and chatting and Merv sent me this zip folder with alot of songs in it, to help me in my search for the songs I wanted.

I opened the zip file after receiving it and was scrolling down the list of 800 over chords and songs when my eyes O.O!!!!! chanced upon this song title:

"Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"
HUuuuUh??? What kind of praise and worship song was that?????? Bizaare!!! Decided to open the file and as I glanced through the lyrics I started giggling non-stop in front of my comp over the next 10mins. Here's the lyrics.. check it out:
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
walking home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
but as for me and grandpa we believe
She's been drinking too much egg nog
and we warned her not to go
but she forgot her medication
and she wandered out the door into the snow

When we found her Christmas morning at the scene of the attack
there were hoofprints on her foreheadand incriminating claw marks on her back

It's not Christmas without grandma
all the family's dressed in black and we just can't help but wonder
should we open up her gifts or send them back!

Now we're all so proud of grandpa, he's been taking this so well.
see him in there watching football, drinking beer and playing cards with cousin mel

Now the goose is on the table and the pudding made of fig
and the blue and silver candles that would just have matched the hair in grandma's wig

I've warned all my friends and neighbors, better watch out for yourselves
they should never give a licenseto a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves!

I say... how bizaare!! Imagine this song is chosen to sing during P&W!!! Lol!!!

Boiling...

I thought I would not have anything to blog about today. Ordinary day, left work early, work was easy and fine... Happy day!! Totally wrong when I arrived home.
Came home and did my usual routine stuff and when I took off my contact lenses to put on my spectacles.... and to my gasping horror.. the right lens of my spectacles were cracked!!!!
*Panting smoke....*
So boiling right now. I do not need to spend anymore unnecessary money before my Europe Trip! UUrrgghh.. and I'm hitting the roof cos I am totally clueless why it cracked. Not cos anyone sat on it, that's for sure. Frame's intact still just tat the lens cracked.
Boiling with venom right now.. *Pris screams...* Forget it.. I'll go vent my anger at ironing my clothes instead.. I bet the scheduled medical checkup with NKF at my office tomorrow would show that my blood pressure's high..

Internet's Up & Running!

Internet's up and running finally.. thanks to Dr. Ink Kwok who revived my notebook by "operating" on it to get rid of "Trojan HorseS" and all other malicious viruses... Dr. Ink even set up cool stuff on my notebook.. (a.k.a "My baby.. / Pudding79") that helps protect it even better.. My baby is reborn!!! WoOooHooOo!!! So cool right? Big Thank you here to Dr. Ink Kwok!! *APPLAUSE*


Anyway, I've been up since this morning for church service at 9am and then went for Timothy Class at 1ish in the afternoon and then rushed to membership class at 3pm and was there till like close to 8pm. That's almost 12 hours straight of contact lenses wearing for me!!!!!!!!! *I can hear my eyes gasping for air... time for me to save money for lasik big time man..*

Friend Bear
You are everyone's ideal friend because you are sincere and genuinely kind. Sometimes you worry about your friends' problems so much, you forget about your own responsibilities, which can get you into trouble. For you, it's the little things that really count. You also happen to be the main driver of the Cloud Car. No speeding!




Contented sigh... and with exams over... *pris smiles*.. this is life....again i say doing nothing (at the moment and though shortlived) is bliss.....
*Yawn....* Okie folks... Princess *oops* needs to turn in already.. Don't worry, I won't disappear without notification again.. and as my notebook's been cured, I have lotsa time now to blog blog and blog.. Wan An muffins!!!

Welcome Back Pris Tham!!!!!!

I am saying that to myself actually.. Wahahha.. I know.. sounds a little (alot actually!) eccentric.. but I'm just soOoo glad that my exams are O*V*E*R!!! WoOooHooOoo!!!!
Yes, people!!! I'mmmmmmm backkkkkkkk!!!!! Miss me??? (DUN U DARE SAY NO... ur head's on the chopping board.. hahahaha... ) So I am patting myself on my own back *Pat, Pat* that I've survived yet another semester of examinations. *Pris beams with pride* And I am like a bottle of bubbling champagne on getting my personal life back. Hahaha... it was truly tough concentrating for this semester's exams though I only had 2 papers as compared to the previous semester. BUT...I was soOo distracted by the horrendous bake-fried weather that it was truly excruciating to concentrate and stay focus!!
Anyway, all that's over and other than my internet that needs serious rescuing (am bloggin from office now cos our lotus notes server is not working.. ) as I am experiencing difficulty using the internet... I can't wait to chill out!!!!! Doing nothing is bliss.... and I am pretty sure my companions around me has heard enough proscratination from me about my exams... hehehe.. that their ears can have serenity once more. (Not for long as I still have another semester to go.. wahahaahaha.. ) I can't wait for May to be over as I am looking forward to... Euro Trip!!!
