HELLO!!!
THIS IS MY LAST POST HERE!!!
i’m running out of account space so im moving on to blogger! finally a real blog! this marks mt 102th post..after more than a year ;}
my blog from now on:
purplejan.blogspot.com
cya there folks.. 
praise God..i got back my results on friday..they were average on the whole compared to the rest of the cohort..but im happy..its much better than my terms n its enuf to keep me here in singapore..so i guess my frens will just have to bear with me for another year
not much happening…friday went to ACS Barker Road..wow..the school was easily the best designed i’ve ever seen..well not in terms of practicality maybe, but in aesthetic terms, yes..like a resort with classrooms instead of rooms =P
saturday went to school to help out with ocip..played a few games..basically we volountered to be guinea pigs..all the games played before ady..sien =P
today ar..wanted to help out in the food-a-thon..in fact i wanted to sooo badly lar..itll be so fun! get to meet juniors n travel! had pw meeting..oh well..cant complain i owe it to geyi..shes a great girl..
this marks my 101th post..n well..ive ran out of account space so i cnt post any more pics =( time i learnd html..

preparations day for AC open house! the guy second from my right is Ariel..mr annoying ;} heheh…
posers…having fun at v setting up the booth/living room
the board which we stole from mrs. ros’s room
our room setting =) wait…still incomplete..
sorry..friendster failing me..i’ll upload the rest some other time
wow…time flies..right now i think everyone is in the ‘i-cant-blv-one-year-has-passed-already’ mood..it seems as though we just got to know each other yesterday, yet it also seems as though i’ve know my friends here for a lifetime..
i know i’ve always used to make lemonade when life hands u a lemon, and true i still do that..but i think i’ve squeezed more juice out of lemons back in the mid year..now it just seems like the lemons in the basket are running out, so there seems to be a sense of limitation to the juice you can get..perhaps its time i start thinking of apple juice?
if u catch my drift…to be more specific, i used to throw myself into friendships here..invest all i could, let it grow to its fullest potential..but now..im thinking tht friendships in college arent the ones that would last a lifetime..or maybe they will just not at this degree of intimacy..so perhaps im caring less about my friends? is that the reason? or is it because now that i care for sumone much much more, that sort of eats up the time n ‘care quota’ i have..or is it because i’m so comfortable with my status quo here that i dont see the need to pursue friendships further anymore..watever it is, i feel i can give more to ppl..there is a sense of saticfaction u get in helping ppl..n seeing ppl be helpd..nothing much tops the feeling of seeing sumone cheer up because of u, or feel better, or resolve to change/improve..
but then again, i questions my intentions on why i help others..i dont want to be like some ppl i noe who help others for the sake of helping only, as if there is a minimum ‘point’ to be earned everyday in terms of caring..sort of until it becomes like a duty..i want to genuinely be concerned about the needs n troubles of others..somehow it seems like a calling? good! =D
also i need to lead a more righteous life..well its not what i do, more to its what i think..n life is shaped by thoughts..sometimes some critical or mean thought would pop into my mind..some selfich thought..some lustful thought..glad God shows me my flaws about my thinking though..then i can ’surrender every thought captive to the obedience of Christ’ =) i need to think about..well…wat He wants for me instead of wat i want for myself…
truly the path to happiness is found in answering God’s call..sure i do love retail therapy, but yesterday..somehow instead of going out as my wild side would usually do, i stayed home a cleared up the room..then there was just this sense of peace upon me..
so thats me now..after promos i was thinking of my next short-term goal..i cant possibly be ‘existing’ as rhordan calls it..sure i wont exist..im gonna improve myself..do more for others…growing slowly but surely daily =)
insights n reflections aside ;)..ahem..open house of my acjc just ended last saturday! loved it to the max! at the risk of sounding ‘vocabularically-challenged’, i must say everything is simple fab! amazing! the booth we set up was amazing! the whole day’s experience was amazing! the preparations was amazing! everything! anything! the buzz n excitement! i loved every moment of it..
weds n thurs was busy with ac games..well i was so ready to pon as games n run back on weds..but glad God helped me overcome temptation..altho thurs i did pon, but thats cause im not involved anymore..it was quite fun also lar..well everything i do seems to be fun..thats me ..in a way living for the moment n making the most of each moment such u cant imagine a better way to spend tht moment friday! preparations! woo hoo! morning set up the booth..the bustle of it..n the deco! phew..reminds me sooooo much of my old times in church where all of us would chip in to prepare for some event..there is a warmth in labouring together i guess..a bonding moment..n God’s hand was really with us..i think he directed the preparations, especially evident in setting up the booth..He just gave me idea after idea..n the whole setting jsut seemed to fall into place..the logistics of it also seemed to work out for the best.. =) the in the afternoon off to baking cookies for distribution on open house day! baked until 10pm! i must say, it was fun! never thought id b having tht much fun with tht group of ppl..which reminds me y i shld not depend to much on one person as my source of entertainment..den i can allow myself to enjoy to the max my experience with others! i find its more of a mental block thing..once u wish another person was there so it’d be more fun, automatically it becomes less fun in ur mind’s standards..n no matter how much fun u hv, it could always be ‘better’..so im staying single..n enjoying every moment possible i can with everyone!! =D anyway the day was AMAZING! haha..
next day saturday was amazing!!! first i had tour duty..ok altho i did complain ( which i think i shld hv done less of) i did enjoy it..making the most of the situation see? i rather adopt the optimistic-at-the-risk-of-being-naive approach to everything i had fun! maybe i love interacting with ppl n getting to know them! then it was hanging out at our booth..our booth had a living room setting so it was thoroughly cozy n warm..watching performances..even doing malay booth duty ( usually thought of as banishment from the fun) was enjoyable..thx to estha erwin n allen who kept me company clearing up was fun..ok basically it was a deviation from the normal saturday routine, so its automatically an AMAZING day..haha..
went to church later..glad i went
as i told my fren earlier, im very contented now..maybe its cause ive finally come to the knowledge that God is graceful! although i know this, you have to realise this…maybe cause im secure in my relationship enough to not feel guilty n distant even if i miss quiet time..i dont fall into that cycle of sin and guilt which the devil uses against you to make you doubt God grace towards you…thats why im so peaceful right now…lately..living in God grace =)
share with u my song/prayer:
take my heart,
take my whole life too,
i surrender all,
my desires to You.
all my desires, Lord…all my desires
God bless everyone! =D
our mooncake celebration!
sightings of the hungry ghost? ;}
okay..altho my official promos ended last fri, today is really the official day i end all test for the year! well..excluding project work n mother toungue that is..actually i realise i dont have time to slack. well, not slack too much lar..i should get started on the things i shld do. like my written report, n improving my malay..well..guess i cant push it all to the back of my mind like i used to.time to get down to business! buck up janene! hya hya hya! =P
well. i hv been struggling lately.growing for sure, but to grow u need to struggle right? 
kinda happy also..many things i hv to change about myself..things i cld improve..but thats a good thing..when u realise wat u need to improve i mean.better than being apathethis abt urself, thinking ur perfect n all..went to church yday n spent the whole day in church..kinda fun also lar..felt so homey there..can help myself to the coffee dere =P can take the instruments to play there..can lounge about on the sofas..n its nice to go with frens lar..especially good good frens..like those three stooges i went with..haha..had ben n jerry’s ice cream with them..hd fun with them..talk n share n laugh a bit..
day before..er..sunday..oh ya..went out with sumone i nvr ever thought i go out with..discovered esplanade..saturday..went for dim sum buffet..never knew dim sum cld taste so bad..haha..eat until sick of those few dishes only..then literally ‘mobile-rotted’ until time for church..lol..basically these few days really really enjoy..well..its always enjoyable when uv got great company =P
got me thinking about stuff..my future..my purpose in life..oh well..i surrender..i just know its gonna be so great ;} haha..
ok janene..time to live life to the fullest again! remember! do not look at things seen but things unseen for those are eternal instead.
wow!!!
so many things!! so much to say!! all forgot!!
haha..thats wat u get when u store sth at the back of ur mind, telling urself ull blog about it AFTER promos..
well its now AFTER PROMOS!! hooray! no morbid details about promos shall be given k..y dwell on such negative-vibe releasing things? haha..
soo..well..wat has happened? well i wldnt wanna sound too drama queen but..’ooooo so much has changed!!my life is sooooo different!’
lol..thats quite true..hmmm..if i can recall..samantha’s bday celebrations..this is definitely noteworthy..it was the night before exam week so i think all of us were in a ‘got-a-lot-of-tension-to-release’ mood..good! started of with a bang! well samantha, my senior, was blindfolded n made to walk around with her frens leading her for about..45mins! den she was led into a circle of us, n when she was un-blindfolded, gosh, she was super embarassed!! i can honestly say ive never seen a face such a vibrant red! haha..but she was sporting about it..then hor..i think her bday celebration was one of the best our lot has ever thrown, instead of getting her cake we got her brownies n ice cream..hey! half my idea! lol..this time there was enuf to go around..AND the guys had fun PLAYING with the ice cream. well..atlee was flinging ice cream bits at ronald while ronald tried to catch them with his mouth..haha..hilarious i tell u..those guys can be such clowns..well while atlee was grossly digging into the tub with his hands, i was also grossly digging into the tub with my hands! well..we had no spoons lar.so distributing melting ice cream was a prob..use hangs lor! funny sia! in the end all eating ettiqutte (right spelling?) was thrown out the window as we went back to primal methods of eating..dun like playing cream from cake..except this cream can be eaten =P
oh yes! during promos! God has been so graceful to me! =D
hmmm…during promos ive also learned a bit of guitar! dunnoe y suddenly i dun mind a bit of pain..persevere more to learn..was it cause i saw alex’s progress in guitar that night n was super impressed? super encouraged hence i also go learn! haha..den stress that time..release stress on the guitar..quiet times with the guitar accompaniment..when piano room all full, go to guitar..well..was it because i needed to release tension so much during promos? kinda improved DURING promos more than before..haha..
er wat else..besides carol staying behind n joinin church during exams that time..super fun lar to have her around! she is really an angel to me! super fun to hv her around =D wish she cld stay more often
oh oh OH recently..mooncake festival celebrations! at the hostel..wait let me say sth first..i m sick tired of mooncakes..! i never did like them in the first place, but since everyone’s eating i also eat lor..kinda regret cause now i really really dislike them =P hmmm..hostel had celebrations..this was the night i shall never forget..but i want to forget! the night i threw away my reputation n watever dignity in me in front of 200++ ppl!!! well..basically this hip hop dancer girl was challenging ppl to join her..right..so stupid allen stupidly dared me to go up saying he’d go if i did..n so STUPID ME! u can guess wat i did..n totally humiliated myself! argh!!! i dunnoe whether wat we did was stupid or brave!! ahhh..den the whole night thru i had to endure ‘promiscuous’ teasing with more ‘butt’ jokes..sigh…oh well at least playing lanterns with the gang was fun..as well as the sparklers…
the only thing that spoiled the night was the haze..awful awful haze is hiding the moon now..n well..PSI now i 145..FYI at 70+ we were already complining it being super unhealthy..n wondering y the gov set the unhealthy standards as 100..so now at 145 its more than super unhealthy..its deadly! lol..vision is awful..so is breathing..i got sorethroat..n sexy voice =P
hmm..wat else..oh ya ya YA..sth else..cant tell u ;}
sorry cant think of anything more..if i rmb ill update my blog asap this time..
ciauz ppl! spm ppl! study hard! last lap! jia you! promos-r-ovr-ppl lets party!!!
this is taken off my church’s blog:
Hi,
Every church needs a contact point with the community that the church is located. In our case, the church is located among Mandarin speaking people and being very patriotic, the community has never put any importance on English.
After much thought and trepidation, the church decided to start a community and charity project called Teaching English Tuition, and as a result, a bridge was built between the church and the community.
We anticipated a beginning class of 20+ children, because of our lack of trust in God, we bought only 8 tables each sitting 4. We had 40+ on our first day and it continued to increase every week for five consecutive week, until we had 70+.
Due to this bridge to the church, we also see a corresponding increase in the Sunday School and the Children’s Bible Class. For 5 weeks, the numbers kept on increasing from 30+, 50+, 70+, and then 105 children.
One of the Teachers told us that she repented before God because we tried to limit the number of children coming, while all the time, God was doing a sovereign work and supernatural work of bringing in the children and mothers to the church. (Amazing also because we did not spend a single cent to fetch the children, the non-christian parents send their children to church !) And God has not stopped doing this.
Let us not limit God and tell God enough. Like the woman with the vessels for oil, let us continue to bring more jars for God to fill, until the whole of Segamat hears of the mighty name of Jesus and the power of His Good News. His Good News is for families to be saved, healed, delivered, changed and transformed into Strong and Victorious People. God wants to bring in the Harvest, it is our duty to pray for more workers and to conserve the Harvest.
One Speaker said, we are Committed to Serve to See Lives Changed.
Today, our Speaker said, You Love God, You must Love Souls.
God Bless You.

It just hit me a while ago. Wednesday, Sept 13
Tht was the day i had my gp mock exam paper. The comprehension compartment dealt with, of all the topics to focus on, death.
The meaning of death, the epochs of death over the centuries, the irony andsignificance of ‘death giving meaning to life’…
It never struck me until just now, sept 13 is also the 1 year anniversary of a fren’s departure
Rest in peace - Samuel Anandam Richards. 1982-2005.
i owe this person a lot. If it wasnt for him, i probably wouldnt have started playing piano for church. He was always a yardstick against which i could measure my progress. He was the guy who set the high standards for playing. He was the guy who made classical style keyboarding work. He’s almost a one man band.
and he was a good friend.to me and my bro.
this coincidence of dates, still sends me into twilight zone. maybe its a divine reminder of, well, anand. perhaps i shld hv given the occasion more respect than i have. truly, how quickly we forget.
this is to the guy, who made, truly, a lasting impression, and in a way, plays a role in shaping who i am today.
this is to u, anand.
ahaha..finally a night i can relax a little..
wait a minute..what am i saying..? promos is in exactly 10days!!!! argh!!! u noe i wish i had more time to just study..ok..dun say i dun study lar cause i do a bit..but then when i dun do well ar, dun say im lazy k..im rushing for time to enjoy studying k..so not that i dun want to study..i just hv no time.. =P
