Congrats you're a TomBoy!You like to wear mostly boy clothes
and play lots of sports and mostly like to hang out with boys!
This is just some random quiz I took from Facebook, to be exact, it's called "What Type Of Girl Are You?" And Sam said it is super duper accurate. Now I have no options but to say yes to that opinion cuz Mand is really a tomboy but is turning femenine day by day. Actually if you've realised, the way I point at things now is so not me. Its like so gu- niang but so? I like it. I shall post up a pic of my hand pointing at things one day, it'd be probably after Cam trip. And! Yes! Talking about Cambodia, I'm leaviing in about 12 hrs and 45 mins time. This is really coming wayyyyyyy toooooo fastssttttt. I guessed it's because I didn't really spend my time wisely and just let the days went by. This is no good. Mand has got to learn to make the best use of her time on earth. Today was a good day.
The Cam GB girls spent our day at Ms Gan's house packing items for the trip and if Emma didn't point that out, I wouldn't know that we'd actually spent 7 hrs there. Well, 快乐的时光过得特别快, especially with GB girls. Spending time with the girls are certainly one of the best moments of my secondary school life hon. I can't believe that I even thought of quitting GB, dumb me. Laughters were heard all over the house and cranky jokes resurfaced again. And as usual, cranky laughters were broken out, thank God that Qian Ting isn't there man, but we had the imitation one, Van. This lady imitated QT so well that... yea she laughed like her. Thus, this shows one thing, wherever Vanessa Yong Hui Ming is, laughters will surely be heard, to be precise, crazy laughters actually. If you need an example, just put me beside her, be rest assured that I'll laugh all day long.
I've semi- packed for Cambodia and I'm praying really really hard that my lauggage won't exceed 20kg. I've forgotten to bring the unwanted clothes to Ms Gan's house cuz I was super late meeting the girls. My bad. :( Another late night last night. :D
I shall end my post for today. I'll leave you with something that I found recently and touched my heart from Ernie. "When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire."

Camp was gooooooddddddd!!! 4 days 3 nights spent with the girls were really good and awesome. We got back to our usual hilarious way of laughing at the random & funny stuff that happened during camp and we totally laughed our asses off. Random stuff that happened were really freaking funny & I can't say it out here cuz' you'd have to be there to laugh at them and also because Mand is really lazy to type them out. We are actually still laughing over them at lunch today. GB girls are really weird in a funny way, thats why we're GB girls. :D Cambodia in 4 days time. Time really flies boy. It was like yesterday I was having my chinese Os and wishing that time passes to the day I start work. And today's like 4 days to Cambodia. Life's like so fast but there's nothing I can do to stop it. Don't worry, I'm not depressed or what. It's just so true.
Sher told me something that even I got so touched when I was thinking about it when I woke up today. No problem Jiong! I don't even know if you'll read this but I wanna say something, thank you so much for telling me cuz I really didn't know I almost made you cry. I don't know why but when you told me, I could feel that our friendship is so very special to me. I just wanna say I really really love you so much and you really mean alot to me. Your pressence in my life has a really great impact on me and thank you for being my friend.
God, thank you for showing me.

This is a great video! It's a MUST- WATCH for those who are feeling low and dry in your walk with God. I pray that this will impact you like how it has impacted me. A whole new level of praising and worshipping Him for who He is.
Worship is not coming before the Lord when we feel like to,
but with a whole new attitude and gratitude.
Presenting to Him what He oughtfully and always deserves,
worship.

Announcements: Leong Yu Ling Mandy has finally got a waist, but sadly, her tummy is still bloating.
(Whatever reaction you may have, whoever you are, I'll let it go. Since I'm a good person.)
Let's see, Cambodia in 15 days time, Annual Camp in 7, INJECTION IN one DAY TIME!!!!
Odinary levels will officially end tomorrow, and FREEDOM REIGNS IN THIS PLACE. For the Sec 4s ya, but for me, it's in one year time for me. Laugh yea laugh. But I still prefer where I am now anyway. That's a very good thing. Actually I'm rather thankful for where God has planted me, not in the 4- year course but 5- year. If not, I wouldn't be as close to those friends that I am now. Or I wouldn't even know people like Janice at all. Maybe just HiBye friends and I don't want that man. If not, there'll be no fun, laughter, peace and joy. :( Yea smile Jan Jan smile. This year has been an eventful and memorable year for me personally. Both spiritually and emotionally. Well, someone's growing up. And I really wanna thank God for letting me go through those adversities that I'd never imagined I'd have the courage to go through, but in the end, I did, by the amazing grace of God. He's really a God of wonders and miracles. Why? Because my life is one such example. Turning the impossible into reality, He's the only one who can do this, I give you my word.
In conclusion, my God isn't a god whom you can know and understand with the understanding and knowledge of people, but He's one whom you have to personally experience His abounding love and grace yourself. You can know Him through conversations and services, but you can't truly know Him until you let Him touch you, like how He has touched my life.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind but now I see.
My chains are gone,
I've been set free.
My God, My Saviour has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy reigns.
Unending love, amazing grace.

Soon, I'm becoming a maid.
No la, a hip- and- happening one.
"Can help me to clean the house?"
"Help me to fold clothes please?"
Requests from my mom which I have chosen to carry out since I have nothing to do at all. Might as well right. My house is clean now, very clean actually. And guess what I had for lunch today, Spagetthi with Char Siew Sauce. Sounds nice huh? Tastes yucky. Oh well, maybe it's because the cook was me. I actually thought that it'd taste good you know, but it came out not nice.. :( But at least I've tried. :):) Went to Lavender to collect my renewed passport and how I love it man. It comes with the card in it, indicating all your particulars and stuff. Suaku you may say, but ya, I'm quite suaku actually. :D:D Came home and chatted with Bao and recieved a letter for my parents regarding Cambodia. And wtb! Juli isn't going! I'm sad. Someone come and comfort me. Preferbably Kenji please?
Laughter hides their silent cries, only Jesus knows.

Mandy, you really got to get down to serious work. Os is finishing in like 3 days time and you still weigh a frigging 48 KG! If you don't start now, forget about sun tanning with Jiong.
Ah yaya! True I got to really slim my tummy to a flat aeroplane runway and it's on the way. Just that on the way it's just bumpy for a little while. Yea I think that I've kindda slimmed, but not that obvious. I may not be able to suntan with you Jiong, but don't worry! I'll still wear a tank top showing off my muscular arms and not-so-fat thighs. Just that I can't wear a bikini just yet. :((
But conscious effort paids it off, I guarentee you, in less than a year, you'll see a slim, hot and okay la, not- so- sexy Mandy walking down the roads of Orchard. 我是走中性性感路线的！In direct translation, I'm walking the not-so- woman but also not-so- man sexy style one. Just minus off the sexy cuz sexy comes with that phrase. So I had no choice but to put "sexy" in. I don't want to be like someone called "Eliazabeth Choo". Don't ask me why but I just had the urge to post What I want to do list. Here it goes hon.
1. Slim down!
2. Have a sleepover.
3. Annual Camp to come quickly cuz I miss the girls tremendously!!!!!! To be exact, those who are of age 16. :D
4. Cambodia Cambodia Cambodia!
5. Jan Jan's birthday.
6. Date with Jiong! :D
7. I want to go out with Jazzlyn Tei Jie Ling!!!!!
8. BBQ on 18 Nov.
God is so good today.

I'm so sorry for my very late update. But patience is a very good virtue, a very good one indeed. So if you've not felt frustrated that I hadn't update my blog, you're very patient indeed. Anyway, work at Bakerzin was good, I wouldn't say great cuz it was my first day at work and first time working , so it was kindda screwd up. I'll give you an example, a Caucasian lady was asking me how long does it take for a pasta to be ready? And I thought she ordered a pasta, so I wanted to go to the kitchen and check it out. When I was about to move, she gave me this weird stare and asked one more time with a precise question asking "I mean, how long does it take for a pasta to be ready?" And I was thinking "Orh!" but I didn't know how long does it take. Thank God that the big big sized colleague came to my rescue. (BTW, he's a nice guy. :)) It was my fault but it's also my first day at work, so I didn't really blame myself. And I saw this really gorgeous lady and she had the perfect body, attitude and accent man! I so love her and she's so nice to me as a newbie. She's simply...great! She looks like Beatrice Richmond- Chia but she's prettier than Beatrice. I worked for six hours and on my way home, oh man! I was so tired from standing and it was peak hour, so as you'd expect, many people were waiting for the train. You should see those tired- of- this- routine faces man. That changed my mind of working on a regular 9- 6 working hours. But that will come to past only if I've earned enough money, then I'll change line. Hospitality is still what I'm so very interested in. God please show me if this is what you want me to do.
Laughing people pass me by.

Someone has complained that 本小姐 has not been updating my blog and it's very boring. I'd have to agree Chew! :D Alrighty here's my update for this Nov:
5 Nov: Chinese O and Heart of God church.
6 Nov: Starts work officially at Bakerzin.
21- 25 Nov: GB Annual Camp
29- 13 Dec: Cambodia trip.
Please keep the Cambodia mission trip in prayer cuz the riots in Cambodia are still on- going. Pray that by the time we reach there, things would have settled down and peaceful. Thanks guys.
Things have been smooth- sailing so far, so far so good. Be it my relationship with my Daddy God or school or church or family, I'm really thankful that things are not worse. Thinking back,giving up leaders for gb may not be the wisest choice of all, but I'm still content that I chose that decision. GB may not be what I'm really passionate for anymore but I guess it's the friends that I've made that changed my life thoroughly. And I believe that it wasn't the time for me to rise up as a leader cuz I was really very concerned about the number of people in my cell, when it was like about less than 5 people. Thus I wasn't really very enthusiastic being the assistant cell leader, yea I was very realistic. Furthermore I had to live up to people's expectations being what I am, so I was very depressed and stress at that period of time. Certainly it sounds good being called a leader and stuff but really doing what you're supposed to do can really tire me out. I don't like to live up to people's expectations but honestly speaking, what can i do? This is Leaders. I fell. I wasn't strong enough. I wasn't brave enough. I weren't up to God's expectations of me, I failed totally. Totally man. But that didn't stop God from continuing to lavish Him love on me, He continued to see me through my days, He continued to hear my prayers in times of need, He continued to give me a chance to wake up and experience His mercy and touching people's lives around me everyday till now. Most importantly, He led me out of the shadow of a sin that you'll never imagine that I had gone through. (Or maybe you knew.) I just wanna say that God is really God. He's so good to me, really good. He didn't give up on me when I've given up on myself. He's always there for me when I prayed to Him, though it was like talking to vacum and it really seemed stupid, but isn't that what faith is all about, believing in the unseen.
I wanna encourage those who're going through a tough time, be it in your spiritual walk with God or any other situations, or you feel very dry and lost inside, keep praying to God. Pour out all your troubles and confide in God. He'll see you through. Though God is God, and you may ask " Eh, He's God what? I thought He knows everything." Yes He's God, true, He knows everything. But He's also our friend. Try putting yourself in God's shoes, you love someone dearly, wouldn't you want that someone to confide in you when things go wrong even if you know that something is wrong? If he or she didn't tell you, would you feel very devestated and sad? It's the same for God too. He wants you to tell Him even though He knows. "He confides in those who're close to Him", as my bible says. "As you draw close to me, I'll draw close to you", "Cast all your anxieties on Him for He cares for you."- 1 Peter 5: 7.
Remember,God is not only God, He's also your friend, a friend that will never leave you in the lurch in times of trouble.
