Name: ying
Interests: i love running in areas that i think i know...exploring with a friend who doesnt mind stopping to look and take pics of silly things like peahens and at the same time, talk to them. haha. i play touch rugby, soccer, ultimate frisbee, hoopla, cranium, taboo. My new love is kickboxing (thanks Rob!) and i've found a love in camping in the outdoors in Australia...minus the cold please. ehe. i hate card games like bridge or taiti....however you spell it. i love singing in choir in GOd's house. but i hate it when i lose a note. i love jazz music, flipping through magazines, admiring dresses i'll never get my hands on, i love the beach and the sound of the waves crashing. i love full arched rainbows in the middle of a bad day...though i detest bad days. then again, it's subjective. i love sunsets, sunrises, daffodils and crowded champagne rose bushes. talking to friends at a cafe with coffee in the front and a great view...i'm thinking olio dome at wheelock and coffee club at taka, max brenne

| today was the final session of BSF, the Life of Moses. its richness throughout this entire year has been my saving grace. times when the frequent 4 letter word (QUIT) came up, and when i felt i couldnt breathe and live past the struggles of fitting back into the singaporean culture. gonna take up 2 star kayak course with Paddle Culture! Tasmania, i see you. | | |
| half marathon is in a month's time.
i've a month end report not yet in.
i've Sunday sch lesson to prepare for the next two weeks on Jonah.
i need to talk to one of my colleagues who sounds like she's gonna crash.
there are classes i need to project for starting next week.
it's never ending, these bits of life.
today i joined my first ever lyrical jazz class. kickboxing at uni helped. stopping my strength exercises, running intensively and touch rugby hasn't helped one bit! man, do i miss them. we danced to the first verse of Incompatible by Sarah Bedingfield. think lotsa ballet stances. a year ago, i'd never have thought dance was my thing.
James, a guy who just joined the YMCA under the international service programmes, started a prayer group in the department and we've been meeting three times now. While prayer seems like some holy person thing to do, i have to say, the broken and contrite spirit is what draws us to seek His face. It's humility at His feet He wants, not self seeking assurance that one is holy. Besides, none but Christ is holy. No one knows the depths of deceitfulness in human hearts and that i find terrifying.
i'm about to get myself a moleskine again and i wonder if it's indulgence.

| there's so much to say about an off day. i can actually hear my own typing while everything else is silent, as if waiting for me to break into a grand proclamation that i'm on leave today. *STARJUMPS* :)
so what has been on the menu hasnt been all that super get out of your seat excitement...i'm gonna go for a run after i'm done with my bible study homework (Romans) which i havent been able to be disciplined about. i'm getting back into strumming my guitar after inheriting some scores for worship songs. Weeks ago, someone spoke about talents, and then again at GROW (a devotion session at the YMCA every Tuesday). Since i'm convicted that my guitar playing must be at least half a talent, i'd better nurture and use it. and then it's a trip down to Novena to get my coach tickets. Road trip i say. aaaawwwesome stuff. i'm thinking sleepless nights of talking and singing cos one of the folks is a guitar star of sorts! YAY!!
Here's a shout out to all the gorgeous pple- Su En, Samuel Phua, (uncle)Byron, and Kelly Ye who are celebrating their birthdays!!!
TO Qing Long, Julie and Giselle, congrats on your new addition!! SHE'S definitely a gem!!!!! *swoons* now we can have our meet up. lol.
did i say i was on leave? i'm going to the water's edge. Albeit dirty cos it's near the shipyard, and sit on a swing. Eileen, you coming?

| i worked til 10.45pm today. what's up with that. too many things....too little simplicity. we've named our second cat. she's Hayley. she's crazy active...
i can hear the days of leave calling out to me. TAKE MEEE TAKE MEEE. i hear ye. i hear ye. TGIF. i spent the evening working out minutes of the board meeting. to tell you the truth, working when most have left the office pushes me into this bubble where my brain jerks to life and i feel this entire calm. It could very well have been music on the ipod.
met up with Yiteng and Allison and both of them had this lengthy chat about money, investments, housing, work, work, work...and then a little nostalgia from sec school. i'm hoping to stop talking about work. it has taken all my weekdays, i'm not budging if it wants to eat my weekends and after hours!!! dont we all say that any way. bleah.
Running camp games for 200 odd people with my sisters is a challenge. and i'm interested as to how i'd react when i'm intro-ed to the masses.
Trying to start an informal prayer session just after lunch which would prob run for 10 to 15 min. if anything or anyone can keep us sane, God can.

| like i said, there's feline mayhem at my residence now. we have acquired another stray. we have likened her to Dee Dee on Dexter's Laboratory also one of my favourite cartoons in my younger days (and perhaps even now! :P). We were tossing between Cookie, Wookie, Ginger Black and now, Dee Dee. BUT i sometimes call my dad D D (short for daddy) and my childhood friend Dillon, whom i also sometimes call Di. it's gonna confuse my name bank. for now, we're satisfied with 'the little one' and 'the other cat'. the sign tat Dad accepted new cat- he picked out a new feeding bowl for her from Daiso.
talking about daiso, i got new hairpins after losing most of the hot pink and purple ones we bought in the states about 5 years ago. incredible huh. daiso rocks. for sharons' curious sake, i also got a box of 2 spectacle cloths, a basin for handwashing clothes, and grape gummies.
Church mates and i played ultimate frisbee in the heat today. i burned and panted like a mad dog. Eugene (couz) did a nice flip into the water logged right side of the play area. talk about all out... woot. gonna plan to play every week to try to get fit with some track work and pool rehab the day after. need to get my act together. half mara in 7 weeks. *freak out*
Mel, work wise, i'm not doing that great. have been gritting my teeth through parts that i really dislike these 5 months now. things that keep me buoyant are cell group mates whom i hang out and laugh with over a meal or tea, and reading. TGIF never sounded so sweet to the ear til work began. might be searching for other work and when i do nail a job, i'll do the hop.
it's warm. period. hallo to Dan and Helen whom i've just added to the list of pple who know of my blog. :) i'd reckon this is the easiest way to keep in touch!!!! love to you both and Nat. he is one gorgeous bloke. kisskisshughug
here're some pics of the lantern festival that just passed. esp for Ammie who has yet to start up her facebook account. ;)
