Esther Tay's Facebook profile




i can't believe im sitting down and doing this. but im surfing the net, for once, looking through & browsing the various news forums & discussion boards. O.O (exactly the way how my father surfs the net. oh my gosh!) you can really see how that stupid somthing called the impromtu speech test is getting on me. RAHHHHHHH.

im sorry, i've got lots of things to update on. but there's not much time.

2007's suddenly closing in on me at such a dashing rate. all of a sudden, things are happening and there's so many thoughts on the mind.

1. 2007's ending. but deep in me, i feel im not ready for 2008 yet. i don't know why.

2. impromptu speech test's on first day of school, which is supposed to be a half day because its new's year eve. but no, we don't have the priviledge.

3. yeye left us last night. i hope all of us can handle it well. he left with such peace.. and i guess that is what's so comforting about. bye yeye.. i pray that you're happier now.

4. getting back the term test results. i hope im all prepared for it and no more heart attacks.

5. am i prepared for 2008?


but i think before i can really step into a new year, i've got to "wang le". like what pastor said today. forget all your past, angst, hurt, unforgiving thoughts, words/comments that ppl said & left wounds on you.. when you can put all these behind and let yourself be rid & clean of them, you're ready for the new year. okay, im going to try. i've only got one more day.

THE WORLD IS
NOT
JUST ABOUT
YOU AND YOU ALONE.


thank God for those all-time lovelies.
thanks yi & em. thank you.. so much.

right now, countless thoughts are running through the mind. there are a mountful that, finding a start for it will be a tough one. &, an attempt now to pen it down in words, is almost close to impossible. i greatly loathe this messed up feeling.

but anyway, the whole day didn't started out bad.

i must say i had a pleasant day out with just mum & sis. minus away the small bickerings in between & little frustations here and there, it was a good quality time spent together, just the 3 of us ladies. just a little inside peek, i love little gatherings. be it short or long, i love it when good quality time is spent, with others (:

hong kong cafe was the heart and highlight of the day. (despite the fact that i've been bingeing on good food almost everyday, in almost every meal :D + the fact that im growing outwards ) will upload the kiasu photos of my first meal at hongkong's on my next post. my sis thought i was SUAGU. XD but hey hoo ha! i was just having all the fun yoll (:

ok, guess what? i think i've just lighten my mood.

off with insignificance! who cares ok, i hate to think that i do. but, WHO CARES. it doesn't really matter whether im significant in others' eyes. all it matters is that i've always is and am, in His. tell yourself that, Esther. and all of you people who might, by chance, be harbouring insignificance thoughts in you right now, don't be. because in Him, you are who you are. always that special little darling.

and now, just thinking about impromptu speech test on the first day of school on monday's killing me. (sigh.) THREE examiners ohgay. and a FULL audience. no kiddin man. friends who've been with me will surely know that im not cut out for this kind of heart attack. MOMMAAYYY ):

IM BACK!
all black and tan.
&
scarred with mosquito bites.
eww.

okay. im all set for camp alr!

so, i'm going to self-declare a 3 days disappearance. and, please don miss me while im away. :D :D :D HAHA! (like any will.)

and yes! i'll be having breakfast first thing in the morning before going off. YAYYYYYY :D you might not know this but, breakfast never fails to make my day and kick off a real good mood :D so want me in a good mood? treat me to a hearty breakfast & voila! (:

come to think of it, i still quite can't get myself to believe that almost one year had passed by. and now, im going to have my annual youth camp tmrw! omg. this year's really a whirl. all the ups and downs. i've gone through all. & i can still remember that a few months back, i thought i won't be able to make it through the year. it got to a point that its so toilsome and so unbelievably hard to move another step forward, that i felt really lost. is lost the right word? i didn't know which way is the right way. i didn't know whether the choices i make are the right ones. (and sometimes, you know i can be really indecisive.)

but all i know now is that, the days when i see myself drowning in tears had been quite long forgotten. i mean, i don't cry as much now. okay, maybe not. not as much. but, when it comes to me handling some of life issues, it can still get me quite tangled up.

& now the issues that im currently facing, is abit too complicated. too complex that i don't know whether im even suppose to think about it. too complex that i don't know SHOULD i be even troubling over it. too complex that rahh, i'll just leave it to Daddy. (:

He'll see to it.
He'll know what's best for me.

*smiles.

okay, i guess i'll leave the rest of my thoughts unsaid.

one last thing,
DON'T MISS ME :D

(oh yes! i need to do alot of catching up with special people. rahhh more time please ): )

one week's gonna end in a woosh! OMG.

i've yet to done my small christmas shopping ):
and i've got youth camp this sat til monday. 22-24Dec.

& before i knew it, its CHRISTMAS!
(with no christmas tree again this year...
what a bummer!)

i shall draw one myself and paste it on the wall! grr.
LOL.

im supposed to post this up last night. but apparently, i got abit too sianED after all the picture uploading :D

this blogging urge is slowly drifting away. i have a million things to ramble on about but, the moment i got myself on the posting page, i'll just forget bout the idea of saying it out.

straight after my last paper on thursday, carole, fio & me were off to some job tour thingy that carole introduced :D both of them were gonna work & yes, earn something outta this fun tour but according to carole, i was only gonna leeched and just have fun :D i was so excited bout the whole thing on the day before, after hearing so many of carole's storytelling sessions about this tour job. i was excited bout the whole going out & having fun part, and not really the meeting up with the jap students part. :D BUT, it turned out to be so memorable and everyone had fun, with all the communication breakdown :D

here's our small little tour group,


i think his name's Katzu or something. LOL! but it goes, KAtzzzzzz :D


the Ninja/Samurai! apparently, his father's a well-known Samurai!


&.. i forgot his name! Sick boy. as in physically sick. :D


here's Shy boy :D


& lastly, Hentai Boy :D :D

Hentai cos he kept saying "i love you" to Fio XD AND, he wanted to go to Fio's house after asking her what is her favourite place. LOL!! it was hilarious! but yar, its a joke. :D

(PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM.)
the whole look of this photoshop edition is so, WOW. i like the black gadgets. and their sliding & focusing features. reminds me of DeJavu when they had to zoom in & out of a certain area. LOL.
here it is:



ok. i've yet to get a hang of it. but it doesn't have those normal tools that the normal photoshop have. like the blurring tool! ):

ok, can someone lend me their photoshop cd!!

_______________

arghhh, now im stuck at home, again. mum's sick & sis's lazy. and that equates to me dawdling away the day ):

facebook's application, Compare Me is one interesting stuff man. it actually do helps to keep you amused & occupied for awhile. :D



and look what i've found.






(fiona, let me smell you the next time i see you. LOL :D )


it was actually quite a "productive" day today, to think that i did so many things in one day.


1. Auditioned in the morning
2. Watched "Mo Nu You Xi"
3. Nap
4. Blogged.
5. Caught "De Javu" (like finally.)
6. & "The Golden Compass"
7. & blogging again.


how come it's not that productive when it comes to studying. TSK.



& my parents are out of town. ): for a little tiny moment just now, i thought i won't be able to sleep tonight. mummy-sick. LOL!


and i've been having really weird dreams lately. to think that im dreaming EVERY night, hmmmm. something's wrong. & people say that dreams are what you subconciously think of when you're awake. really? cos i don't remember me thinking bout them when im awake. RAH, oh wells.



can someone accompany me to do some serious christmas shopping ? ((:

im a happy girl now! :D

when you have all the world, all the time, all to yourself
who don't?? :D

i want to have some serious movie session!
im gonna cramp up this whole two weeks holiday,
and indulge in this freedom that's not gonna last, for long.


& CHRISTMAS!
i really can't wait!
:D

ok. since fiona shared something funny :D, im also going to share some real funny stuff that my sister stumbled upon yesterday.


just thinking bout it sends burst of laughters man.
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA XD

it's a good short destresser! :D




ok, this is a very excellent example of "building happiness on other's sorrows"
LOLLLERRS!
just look at how the news broadcasters can laugh over it so openly. XD

the rain & cold is making the mind wander.

wandering far far away..









get back here, mr mind!

i wanted to hear "Home" so badly in school today.

"I want to go home..
I just want to go home..
Let me come home"

the day was so bad that all i wanted to do, was to come home. i felt the pressure on me again.
plus, the gloomy weather din't help much.

no happy pills today too. ):

it came to a point that i wanted myself to get sick, like now. but i guess, if i really do, that'll be the most irkest thing ever for the week. because term tests are only 4 days away..

also, the demoralising thought of the returned quizzes nearly made me break down during hpi test today.

i think i seriously need to brace up myself alot more.
all of these disheartening thoughts will tear down the soul someday.
brace it up, girl!

He's with you.
