the more trash i hear and see, the more of God's promises i need to feed myself with.

心灰意冷。living day to day, day by day. now i suspect these feelings derived from one reason: i really miss my candy 언니. somehow i just wish everything would unravel into perfect condition and everything will be just fine. i wouldn't be as cynical and full of complaints as i have become now. she's so amazing at what she does and the way she is... alwasy smiling and so gentle. sometimes i wish i can be more like her, bcos i'm doing what she did yet i'm taking it all so differently. was it the circumstances that changed? or was it me? have i just turned inside out?


still, Jesus is the same. nothing is finished until Jesus is glorified. it's really rubber meets road. where every breath i take and any thing i do, i have to call on Jesus' name so i don't end up uttering something... bitter. Jesus, You be my shield and my glory.

ok this is an even later post... photos (from b4 i did my hair... my hair very nice now one. haha.)!

that's me and addy with the gorrilla crew - bboyz & ballerina, when they came to korea plaza for their showcase and fan meeting. notice how colour-coordinated we are. haha. their dancing is REALLY impressive, too bad i can't upload the video here. went to watch their show at the esplanade, and i think it's one of the best. they weren't as hot as the previous ones i saw "last for one - spin odyssey" though. anyways, i got myself a gorrilla crew shirt too! yayy! freebie!

it was also my manager, mr adrian kim's last day at KTO singapore office... ok lah quite miss him now. cos he's always the one who tries to matchmake me with hot oppas, like the bboyz... and also his sudden spout of mandarin "我的天啊!" when he has had too much soju or bombs (his concoction of soju + tiger beer)... well, it'd be quite interesting to see him again next time when i go to seoul!

ok this post is a bit late. bcos i wanted to test and see the "effects". so far so good. haha.

well, i've been wanting to do something to my hair. the last perm i did (the geum-soon episode) was last october... maybe it's like how they say, women 受到打击 then will go do something drastic. thank God it wasn't like some break-up or what... haha. just lotsa anger and emo going on. so i went and looked through the list of korean salons SO MANY TIMES. yeah i wanted a korean salon bcos i dun wanna end up looking common. oops. heh. i admit i am biased, but i wanna look like korean star (muahaha) and i think korean hairstylists just can give that kind of look that i like lah. i didn't want to go to the one i did for $400+ the first perm i did at jayun, thought i'd settle on another one, then changed my mind again.

then i came across this one - Hairdo at Peck Seah Street in Tanjong Pagar. i saw their info and shop front photos posted on snowsg.com, and i noticed this tiny detail - they close on sundays and they have this cross hanging behind their reception. so... they believe Jesus one! hahaha. immediately i called them up to make an appointment man. surely are annointed hands that will make my hair look nice! i am very paranoid about how my hair looks ok. must involve God.


so anyway i took a half day off on monday to do my hair... decided to straighten it out after hearing lots of opinions from "trusted and influential" pple. the salon is really nice, and the service is really awesome. you know how when you go to korean hair salons, they usually segregate the korean customers from the locals. when i arrived, there were a few koreans getting their hair done, but the lady manager was so friendly, and she speaks really good english! she did a scalp scan for me (the horror of horrors), then another korean lady (whom i later found out was the DIRECTOR) did the cutting and straightening for me.


actually... i had brought along lee hyori's picture (i.e. korea's sexiest female star) that i printed out from the internet to show them the look i wanted. BUT i chickened out. so paiseh can if i really did it. so i described to her that i wanted to cut to the shoulder and straighten my hair, but not flat (like those ah lians). koreans don't flat-rebond anyway, theirs is VOLUME-MAGIC-STRAIGHT, like what was done on mine... heehee. i like it that she was the one who took charge of my hair personally throughout, even if sometimes she asked the juniors to blow or wash my hair. she is REALLY GOOD, her skills are evident. much as i hate to share this good stuff, i would highly recommend her.


after 3 hours... i found out actually... hey! i still ended up with lee hyori's look! HAHAHAHA. cheyyyyyy. see here:



ok lah not EXACTLY. but everyone i know so far agree this is like my best hairdo ever. like, i've been disillusioned the times i decided to perm lah. tsk. though really, you have no idea what a RELIEF it is too have all the heavy locks chopped off and to feel the wind blowing through my hair! it's been 3 days now, i've been washing my hair and blowing it dry religiously... and it's still straight. heh heh. hopefully it will look so pretty till... forever lah. haha.

our yummy zi char dinner at bali seafood village (near villa bali) ydae, with a bunch of precious brothers - zixin, huilong, kester, paul, and one sister, ailing! i know the picture doesn't look very enticing, but the zi char is really good and cheap! we ordered marinated pork ribs, chicken and corn consomme, hotplate tofu, chilli kang kong and cereal prawns... 6 of us only paid $14.50 each! definitely worth the journey there, and nice chill ambience too. it's not very far out; we took a bus from vivo there and took a nice stroll up. will definitely bring other friends there again (when i have the time)! after that we went back to vivo and ate at haagen daaz! an unexpected treat by kungfu-panda-paul... heh. me and ailing shared a cookie crunch, and we all got to share zixin and paul's grand chocolate fondue! zixin said, "ice-cream is my comfort food, when i'm upset i will eat ice-cream." and i was like, hoi! same as me! haha... can never forget how he used to always buy me ice-cream last time. *wistful look* must change taste, now my oppa is the patbingsu-style liao... not ice-cream. heh heh ok out-of-point.


i think the whole gathering was much more than the great food... really was a much-needed timeout for me to hang out with NORMAL pple. plus these are my brothers and a sister who prayed with me, believed with me, played with me, cried with me and laughed with me during my growing-up years in cg. haven't met up like this in maybe more than a year, really missed such times. having gone thru such an emotional week, it was only last night that i truly laughed out loud so much again in a long time. the guys really crack me up with their random nonsense talk and oogling over pretty girls. -_-" but of course there is sharing of God's work in their lives too, to see them from then till now. what warmed my heart was how they took an interest in my life... when i shared about my difficulties now, i was so surprised and touched by the wise words they spoke to me (especially from kester! whom i really think is really wise, in a punk way haha). to hear from these guys about SUBMISSION to men... really takes Jesus in me to submit. if not for Jesus i think i would have gone mad. haha. thank God also for such friends who point me back to Jesus!
