Oh gosh, this blog has been updated since Sept 2009!
I guess its just a result of plain laziness.
And I think I would love to get back to the habit of updating, because every moment is precious.
And so! I am way past graduating from ACJC, but still a very proud ACSian indeed.
Got offered a place to study Economics at the Singapore Management University in 2011.
Tell me about the difference in tuition fees, as compared to NUS or NTU.
But hey! I prefer's SMU's pedagogy. Its just different.
Heard (I-choose-to-think-so) rumours about the huge amount of stress you get while studying in SMU.
Well, it kind of scares me in a way.. But no matter where you go, you'll definitely encounter it right?
And its how you manage it I guess. Prioritize your life, live it the way you want it to be.
And so, why Economics?
Mmm, its scary cuz I heard its quite different from A Levels?
Well, I can say that its gonna be really relevant to the the world we are living in.
You are able to understand why certain policies and what nots are done in a certain way..
I am also thinking about a career in teaching.
We'll see how it goes for my application for the Teaching Award.
Hopefully all goes well!
NS Updates!
I am left with... 264 days! Which also equates to 8 months plusss more.
Hurray to that! (:
I am really thankful for where I am now (Air Force).
The friends here, mostly, are quite amazing.
And duties are less dreadful as compared to guard duty!
My right knee is starting to hurt again after like running?
Sigh, I hope it doesn't get too bad.
I can't wait for my friends who are studying overseas to be back for their holidays!
Somewhere in May/June?
Time for some serious catching up and enjoying the company of one another (:
Fun-O-Rama is next week!
It just feels like ytd that we were busy preparing for it.
I WANNA GO FOR ANOTHER HOLIDAY!
Just got back from Taipei not too long ago, with Mummy and Sis.
Quite proud of myself, I planned the whole trip ((:
From the booking of air tickets, to reserving hotel stays and the moving around.
Its easy cuz we share a common tongue.
And plus the people there are really friendly in general.
Shopping there is quite cheap and food is quite yummy.
I SO MISS THE XXL CHICKEN CUTLET AT SHIHLIN NIGHT MARKET!!
It was so so so good!
And the Taiwanese people love to own small cute puppies.
You see them at every turn of the corner.
I wanna make a trip back there some time in the near future!
And so, next stop! I am thinking of... Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia?
We shall see..
And oh! Did I mention that I finally visited a club at the age of 19!
Lol. Sound quite noobish, I know.
Went to St James Power House with my NS friends.
Quite interesting I must say.
Its all about drinks, deafening music, dancing.
And I think more importantly, the company of friends.
I won't mind to go again!
Alright, time to go!
Why does Lady Gaga have lots of pimples? Because she "poke poke poke poke" her face, "poke poke" her face!
And who is responsible for the outbreak? Her mum. Because "poke poke poke poke" her face, "poke poke" her face, MAMA MAMA (:
I'm Yours by Jason Mraz
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment baby sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait
I'm sure
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

Oh boy, this coming week is gonna be bad.
I am just disliking my life in there more and more.
There's absolutely ZERO freedom.
Sigh..
I really have to motivate myself a lot.

No Boundaries by Adam Lambert/Kris Allen
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want
But how long can you wait
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you've lost your way
What if my chances were already gone
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you gave me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
So here I am still holding on
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going no where
Just when you almost gave up all your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
I fought to the limit you stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets
Don't know where the future's headed
But nothing's gonna bring me down
Jumped every bridge, I've run every line
I risk being safe, I always knew why
I always knew why
So here I am still holding on
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going no where
Just when you almost gave up all your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule cause there's nothing between you and your dreams
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going no where
Just when you almost gave up all your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
No boundaries
YEAH, THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES! (:

Awesome song sang by two singers, unique in their own ways.
So week one over!
Sigh, I don't know what to say..
I just am not enjoying myself in there. ):
I DON'T KNOW MAN.
Met up with Nathan, Yammy, Wye for dinner at Hong Kong Cafe, Cineleisure Orchard.
Weird friend and Alex came to meet us.
Service tmr morning followed by BMT Section Lunch, i think!
(:
Tears were shed, hearts broken, for some.
We lost that title to RIJC. But oh well!
The team was just AWESOME to begin with.
Their display of Passion, Integrity and Tenacity, simply amazing. (: 
Indeed, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him!
Secondary school clique gathering was great!
Dinner was literally finger licking good, at Timbre @ Substation. 
We shared the all famous pizza & buffalo wings.
I had the baby back ribs.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO, so good, so so good! ((:
Not surprising! I laughed a lot.
Its really nice to meet up with those guys after awhile.
We caught up, and sang along with the live band till close midnight!
Thank God we were just in time to catch the last train home.
Went for youth service yesterday with Grace, Joseph, Zephy, Evan, Clarissa & Pris!
Satisfied my 'roasted duck plus char siew rice' craving from Vista Point's food court. (:
After service, Joe drove Grace, Zeph and I to Holland Village!
Met Syahir and Eunice at Swensens for 2 Topless 5s.
And a 'sort of' belated birthday surprise for Zephy with the free b'day ice cream.
:/ So tmr will be the day I report to my new training unit.
Engineer Specialist? Jowell? I don't know if it fits.
But ah well, I'm placed to be there for a special reason and purpose.
Its just sooner or later that I will get to find out why.
So enjoy your last day of freedom Jowell!
I'm coming back to the heart of worship.
Cuz its all about You (:
TMR IS THE DAY!

I can't wait! Going back to the good ol' days of cheering as an OGL.
Darn cool. HAHAHAHA
Meeting Yihui and Lilin for lunch first.
Meeting my good old sec school friends for dinner after the match!
So yes! Yesterday and today were days to rest up!
Especially since I got aches (including my butt) from badminton. Lol
Met Jon Lee for lunch at J8's Subway today.
& accompanied him to find a good pair of shoes.
Just got to chat with Jerrold over MSN.
Really appreciate his listening ear (:
YES YES! Survivor was just over on Monday!
AHHHHHH, J.T won :D:D
Very nice! He totally deserved it, much more than Steven.
& American Idol!
I have to admit that I didn't have time to follow up with this season.
But watching the finals live, yesterday..
Mmm, I thought Adam Lambert was better?
I prefer Adam's rendition of "No Boundaries".
And "Mad World", which he sang to kick start the show was goodddddd!
Well, I'm still not tired of listening to it, even though Shawn keeps playing it over and over on his speakers in my army bunk!!
Anyway! Kris Allen got the title in the end.
Kudos to both!
I'll trust in You, with all my heart.
BSLC is overrrr guys!
Geeeesh!
8 weeks just flew past. (:
So now, I'm currently having my block leave for a week.
Got posted to become an Engineer Spec.
Don't really know what's in store for me, but God knows (:
OH OH OH ACJC CHOIR ACHIEVED GOLD WITH HONOURS!!
I'm so proud of my juniors :D:D:D
I'm sure it came with lots of hard work and perseverance.
So well done guys!
Met up with Yihui and Jack on Saturday.
Dinner at Ajisen Ramen and then chillout at Coffee Club!
(:
Miss the 2 of them so much and finally got to share our daily stories with each other.
Bought this book, The Kite Runner from Borders too.
Sunday is the day I got my own GUITAR :D
Gonna self-learn!
Met Shane and Michael on Monday, in town!
Went for lunch at Ayam Penyet, an Indonesian restaurant at Lucky Plaza!
Oh boy, the chilli was soooooooooooo hot!
But I still love it.
Then, I brought them to Wangwang's Ice shop at Far East.
:D Yummmm!
Shane left us to meet his gf, Mike and I went shopping!
Gosh, spent a bombbbbb on clothes!
Today was supposedly section outing! But only 7 turned up.
GOOD ENOUGH ((:
Played badminton at Bishan Sports Hall.
It feels good to just sweat it out.
Then lunch at Pastamania!
Everyday seems to be filled with so much spending!
Gotta start saving up.
Sigh! Uni offers and Teaching award outcome hasn't been bright.
I don't really know whats going on over at their side.
I am feeling quite insecure and scared of what's to come.
But I think it's a time where my faith is being put to the test!
Trust God, Jowell!
(:
