It's2008! ohmygosh.
i still remember watching the countdown to the milenium,and it seemed that 2000 was just a yesteryear. time flies, no matter how we actually want it to just stop.

Berd's very famous quote" screw the person who invented the watch/clocks/stopwatch/timers/ cause if he/she didn't invent them,we won't have to follow any time at all".

2007 has been pretty interesting. school's been great, friends i've made are awesome, yet they keep bringing meback to God's love. thank God for so many fellow sisters in christ who are an encouragement, yet such a blessing.

teachers are really one of a kind too. who would have thought who would actually make friends with your teachers.

And the whole issue of God,christianity, church, worship leading had pretty much been buggingme the whole year.


i wasnt' 24/7 on my quiet time, i would have to say where was God for me this year? he did bless me much, but my walk with him was quite bad, i must say.
until december, i was still very unhappy with church and how the whole concept of sss is. i mean, the whole concept of making friends, hanging out with the cool kids is just wrong. i didn't like who the people seving in worship comm were labelled as popular and the rest didn't even have a chance to do anything or be accepted. thought of changing to nicholas' church. But i don't know, i pretty much woke up and had a feeling that perhaps 2008 will be different. i mean, trust God i guess.



worship leading's been another issue. i mean i thank God for letting me find my gift. many people go by through the years not finding out what their spiritual gift is. Much said, i've found my gift since end of sec 1/sec2. but it's been pretty much a journey.
it started out with me getting very conscious of whether i was singing on tune, on pitch. then it slowly developed to how i felt a a worship leader and how people were responding to worship. Of course, it's not up to me to see whether people were hyped up/ moved/ or even worshipping. i mean, God's in the presence and ultimately we are worshipping the audience of one. God will touch each of our hearts in a different way. but somehow i couldn't understand that point and i still get frustrated when i see people not worshipping, and i blame it on myself and my inability to lead. i think i still feel that way, though it's notwhat i'm supposed to be feeling.
we pretty much need a revival. no,i need a revival in my heart too,God.

but i mean, God works in miraculous ways. we just need to be steadfast in faith, and he will bless us. it's all in his time.

well, 20008 is gonna be a pretty interesting year for me.the big 0s are over, now it's the bigger than bigger As that are approaching in 10months. no wonder when i was taking Os. everyone just kept going," can one,As are so different". now i know how different. But hey, since i've got the Almighty to carry me through this year, why should i fear. And i know i've got friends and family to assure/encourage meevery step of the way.

As much as i want to focus on my studies, i want to focus on God equally, or even more than the emphasis that i place on my studies. this year, i yearn to grow so much deeper in love with God,and i want my faith to multiply and multiply.

NewYearResolutions made. Time to Fulfil them.
To a blessed 2008 my friends(:
God loves You, You & Yes YOU!

She can't stand the way she looks in her uniform.


Yesterday's lesson will always hold a special place in my heart. I will blog more about what we learnt, only after i finish reading the book of Job first.


Worship yesterday was well, interesting. Especially with the never before seen interruption of a cute old grandma, stopping me after the second song saying " sorry ah, i want to take the flower vase first (In Chinese).And she slowly made her way across the rooom. it was well, hilarious. And i had to force myself to stop laughing.
Second incident was before worship when i was gonna start, and here we see Uncle Roland climbing on the hair to change the wall's clock. So jonathan and i decided we should, wait for him to finish changing the battery.


Speaking of battery, i think i have this amazing power to suck out all the energy of the batteries in the microphones. 2times in a row during worship practice, the microphone will die on me. And cherlyn has to help me change the batteries, Everyone's sure, that my superpower is to suck out the powers of the batteries (:


This post is very random.


Yesterday we went to tungloke to celebrate parents' 19th anniversary. And we put in a picture that was taken in 1997. And i realise i have the same haircut.
YES JOYCELYN. stop saying i look like a kid!!!!


i'm not a bookbook person. i take forever to read a novel. yup, those brainless chick-flick novels that are supposed to be easy to read.



i think i'm just doing random crapping.


i studied today. it's not really an accomplishment cos i was supposed to start 2 weeks ago.


i watched THE JOYLUCK CLUB today. Lovely. i just have a thing for Chinese/HongKong based shows.


I ate so much today. YES JOYCELYN, STOP COMPARING ME TO SEC 2 AGAIN.


Joycelyn's name keeps surfacing in this post. i'm helping jher gain publicity, cos she refuses to update her blog.


Metting natalie, nicholas, and abi tomorrow! ahah. that ahbeng says he'll hear nicer tomorrow. (What a stupid way of trying to defend himself).


SEEEYOOOU.
I'M DOING ATOMIC STRUCTURE NOW. WHOOOOSH.

Too sensitive with a too-big a mouth.

I'll like to call it Pride.

i feel like i'm drowning in an ocean, somebody come and take me awayy.


I think i've been reduced to a sucker who goes around collecting all the stray 10cents that are lying around in the house. Last time, i would just vacuum them all up. You'll never ever know when you might need those coins.
:(

i'm thinking of going for the J1Bash. Got the clothes, prolly some random stuff. But i still wna save money. 12bucks may seem peanuts, but i need to save, save, save.

2Alevel subjects down. ManyManyMany more to come.

Training's been fun. Just that no more 2 rounds around the track. Now it's gone up to 8 or 6 rounds. And i had armpit cramps for 4 days.

I WILL ONLY BLOG PICTURES.
Pictures from last sunday, lastlast sunday & lastlastlast sundays.





(my room's finally done. off to plan for worship & see the Oliver E. RAT)

BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBEYEBYEBYEBYE.

Friends Only.

i've not blogged in a loong time.

tried out the livejournal thing yet again. But i failed, again.

i talked to LouisaTan for the loongest time today. well, not that loong, but since it was our second time talking to each other via msn, it was rather loong. It's funny how i always thought there was this invisible thin glass hindering us, but after a while (9months) to be exact, she's
actually one of the coolest friends ever.

PW's gotta be the worst project over. i just wish it'll be over sooon. And i don't ever wish to do another project of this scope, with my groupmates again. I just cannot ever seem to click with Jonas. Everyday there's gotta be this Sylvianne's fill in the blank - "thing" between me and him.

We kinda stopped going for chinese already. The only reason was because my Chinese teacher, or rather Hokkien Teacher refuses to teach chinese, wants us to learn Hokkien and lets us watch chinese fighting-kung fu movies w/o subtitles. That day, i told her, if there's no subtitles, i'll not watch it. So i whipped out my laptop and watched "I AM SAM".

Ms Rai met my parents on monday morning. Remember how i was complaining that i kept having arguments with my mum cos she wanted me to retain, she got over that phase soon enough. Apparently, she was still quite adamant about wanting me to retain. But she accidentally off-ed her phone (WHICH WAS MINE), she had to on it, and there was the welcome message which said "It is God's will for me to get promoted".

i don't know bout you, but God works in so many ways we can never ever see, and can never ever expect. remember after i got my Olevel results, i posted about how my welcome message on my phone was that i would get 10 points, i really did. Why am i only praising God only after i know the results? Why didn't i trust Him before, the doubts and uncertainity. And God only comes into the picture when i've got what i wanted. Faith, sylvianne Faith.

Ms Rai gave birth on tuesday morning (2am). that cool form teacher of mine was with our class till 520pm on monday and when she went up to the staff room, her water bag burst. But she cooly went home, changed before going to the hospital. She messaged the leaders at 8 saying that she just got admitted and at like 5 am? she messaged us saying that she's given birth. we visited her on wednesday and her baby boy is so cute.

church yesterday with poh to catch the screening of the video. it's amazing how a 30minute odd video actually took 4 years to produce.

Chinese As tomorrow. Scary Shit.

THIS IS TO BERD.

hey berd, this is supposed to be friends only, but stupid me don't know how to use the lj. so here goes, i understand whatever you're feeling.And i'm really sorry about it. I think i've been a really bad friend, and i often neglect you guys for my own random stuff. But you and Poh are my bestestestest friend, and i'll never trade you for anybody, so here's to our friendship, and i promisepromisepromise that i'll make the extra effort to catch up with you, and reply your smses.

love, syl.

i'm so lazy to blog.
BYEBYEBYE.

(jiayou vyllie!)
