olivia ♥ 250393' Everything I claim mine is yours, not a single thing on Earth did I deserve. The expressions and emotions from the depths of my heart. Take this life, I want to live for you. Let my life be a testimony- that speaks of the things that You've done for me. My life charted out in Your hands, written out before a single day had passed. and novels are my favorite things.

Bet you're wondering why I'm blogging again today. Yepp, blogging on consecutive days ain't the norm butbutbut, today's SPECIALLLL! Today, I'm feeling so SUNSHINEEEEEEEE HAPPYYYYYYY, all because of a big miracle that happened today! It may seem small to you all but it's a gigantic+enormous= GINORMOUS breakthrough for me. Tadaaaaa!((((((((: I could go on and on with the smiley and make it a mutiple-chinned smiley but I guess I'll spare you guys. x)

Well well, the day started off pretty bleak. Pard didn't come to school today. And I was sooo pathetically lonely. But on a brighter side, I paid more attention than I normally did, not that I don't listen during lessons. I was just MORE attentive. Period. Was dreading house meeting, kept glancing out the window, watching the primary kids skip out of school. Mann, I was so envious that they could go home at 12.30pm. Not that I dislike house meeting or anything, I'm a LOYAL ARCHER-ian ohkayy! Ask anyone. (: It's just that I've had some intimidating experiences. Headed to the gym to kill time. School ended at 2pm but house meeting only started at 3.30pm so yepp.

A couple of weeks ago, I was appointed level head for sec4/5. It was soo terrible. The attendance list was all chunked up together, all the classes, even last year's graduates were in the list. Imagine how chaotic it was! Messymessymessy. All of a sudden, someone shouted at me. It was a sec 5 I was unfamiliar with. Apparently, she was the girl everyone had warned me against, I didn't realise till later. She demanded the attendance list for me. She snatched it away from me and called me some hokkien vulgar word which is too inappropriate for me to mention. Woah, did I get a shock. No one had ever called me that, much less someone who didn't even know me well enough to judge me. Apparently, her name wasn't on the list, and she got crankier. But my mind was in too much a state of shock so I didn't say anything. Dumbfounded I was. At that moment, I wanted to dig up a hole and bury myself. Like seriously. On my way home that day, I was like in a sense, 'complaining' to God, pouring out all my woes. It was so frustrating. Unexpectedly, I started seeing her in a different point of view, looking past all her attitude and vulgaries. I started thinking stuff like, 'She must have a reason for being so defensive, I really don't think it's entirely her fault. From her looks, she looks like a real nice person.' Even I was shocked to hear my own thoughts, never in a million years could I have done it if not for God's grace that came upon me. From that day on, I kinda developed a phobia of house meeting. But at the same time, I kept praying for her, that God will use me as a vessel to show love to her and that bit by bit, God will remove all her hatred and heal her brokeness.

Well guess what? God came through for me today. She was extremely nice to me. When she passed the attendance list back to me, she said, "What's your name?" I tried to restrain the surge of shock and managed to say, "olivia". In the sweetest tone ever, she said,"Do you have the competitors namelist?" And I was like," Nope. But I'll help you check it out now." Apparently, there wasn't one so I asked if she participated in any event last year. But she couldn't remember. But I did help her to the best of my ability, so I was quite proud of myself. (:

Later on, I was asked to collect fine for those who weren't in archer shirt. When I came to her, I told her, "Hey, but could you help me collect the fine from your class for me?" She said," how much?" "1 dollar." "B******t" I said, "So sorry but yeah." The moment 'sorry' came out of my mouth, I only felt one thing- regret. I mean I didn't even do anything wrong! i was scolding myself in my head, "What's wrong with you?!' She exchanged a couple of words with her friends and later asked me to say they didn't have money to pay up. I was like, 'Alrighhtttttt.(in unsure tone)' As I moved on to collect the fine from other classes, I heard her say to her friend(if my ears heard rightly), "She's quite sweet(or was it 'nice') huh?" Her friend said something and then she was like, "She said sorry to me just now leh! Of course lah, she scared of me mah!" Happy feeling was gone. I was like, "Crap. Wrong move mann!" Oh well, it was a lil' slip of the tongue. But yeah, after today, I'm sure that underneath her intimidating appearance and attitude is a really really sweet person. (:

A total 180 degrees change in attidude. Isn't this a miracle or what? I can't tell you how my heart is overflowing with pure joy and how thankful I am to God!

Well, what can I say? I think I'm starting to see a whole new meaning of this year's theme for my church:

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR

Ohkay ohkay. UPDATE UPDATE! Mann, it's been quite hectic lately. Uhh, come to think of it, maybe it ain't that bad, but oh well I've just been pretty lazy to update my lil' bloggy and so yepp, it's growing moss. But oh well, I shall just make it quick. Laptop's bat is running out.
So, CNY celebration in school was awesomatedly FUNFUNFUN. The performances were GREAT, tons better than the the previous 3 years. :x I can't believe this is the first time Clara came for it. I had to practically FORCE her to come. Thank God that she's in class comm so she had to join me for the Bless The Community Project. If not for that, I don't think she'll even attend CNY throughout her four years in sec life. Oh mann, guzheng was especially entertaining. Woah, I had the sudden urge to take up guzheng after O's. I still have a wee bit of that urge. (: Clara, Eth, Charity, Sukanya and me went totally high. Well, actually the entire sec 4 cohort. We were like screaming and screaming cos of some competition among the levels. Cherades(?), just that it's in Chinese. HAHA!
Did quite some visiting on the first day of CNY. Woke up at 6.30am to go over Granny's house to help out with the cooking for guests cos Granny's leg was hurting pretty badly. Rushed home to change and off to mom's brother's house. Wasn't much to do there though cos we're closer to the cousins on Daddy's side. We only visit Mommy's side like twice to thrice a year so yeah. After that was off to grandaunt's house. Ate buffet for lunch. The brocoli was unusually sour. I thought they added lemon to the sauce to make it tastier so I gobbled it all done. When I was done, I heard grandaunty tell daddy not to eat the brocoli cos it had probably turned bad. And I was like 'What?! Ohmygosh. Why you never tell me earlier?!' Yepp, had a pretty bad tummyache last night.
Second day was so much better. People came to visit. Mommy's side. But cos we live quite near, we see them much more often so it was muchmuch better. G's got new hair. oli shock~ Haven't seen him in prolly 2 years, he doesn't really attend family functions so yepp. His hair is like Jap/Korean, dyed a lighter shade of brown, and a wee bit longish. Some people suit it, some don't but I guess it's alright. V's grown so much taller. He's my height already! (: He used to be bubbly and chatty but now he's sooo much quieter. Oh well, he's still friendly (: J and A are so cute as usual. Esp J, but he doesn't take much to me ): On the shy side I guess. For the rest of the day, I completed teachers' ang bao for us which unfortunately came in the form of tons of homework.
So, that pretty sums it all up. (; Sorry it's sooo rush but I gotta head to bed. Ayyeee, morning run tmr. Oh well, on the brighter side, we get to lose some weight from all those New Year goodies we've been gorging ourselves on (:
Nightnight, peeps!

Ohmygosh. The Hanazawa Rui craze is back! x) Hanazawa Rui (from Japanese drama Hana Yori Dango) is my favourite character in the show. Purely in fictional sense :D, I simply adore this character, and not only for his dreamy good looks and elegant attire. He is loyal, well-read, deep, very perceptive and to add to all this plays a violin like a virtuoso. But of course of of the key things is that he is permanently dressed in white which colour suits him amazingly well. And his hair in that drama is like trademark. Mel, Jean and me ADORE this character. We made a whole lot of noise in class today talking about him. And my plan to revise chinese was screwed :/ But oh well, I shall forgive myself. He is like <33333!!! But apparently, rachel thinks he looks like a Shih Tzu + a giraffe. I don't see why. She says we have a weird taste. The Japanese version beats Taiwanese and Korean version hands down. Even Mel admits so, despite the fact that she loves anything Korean. And another key thing is that Oguri Shun makes angst to be breathtakingly beautiful.
I was like sooo annoyed when Makino (female lead) chose Tsukushi(male lead) instead of Rui. I can't understand how a girl can chose a rude and violent guy over a nice and sensitive guy. I mean it's like "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" Maybe, you'll say I'm biased but oh well. I like this sort of guys. Loyal, deep, perspective, a slight introvert and who plays some sort of musical instrument. Wow.
Alright, alright. This whole post was just plain random. But ayyeeee, it was just a sudden urge. So pardon me. (: So I shall just leave you some pictures of him. (((:








Now tell me, in what way does he look like a shih tzu + giraffe? But everyone's entitled to their own opinion so yepp. (:
