I'm now blogging from the computer in one of the NTU libraries. I've been bunking in with Joelle the last few days and she's really nice to me. I just came back from Kedah, Malaysia on Mon morning.

I've been really busy lately. Thank God the 1000 - 1500 words assignment due date is postponed till next Fri. I still have 400+ more pages of the book to read.

My laptop is now at the repair centre and I prob won't be getting it back till 1 to 2 weeks later. So I prob can't blog much. And neither can I show you pics here. Boo.

For the last one month plus since I stepped into SOT, I've been really living outside of my comfort zone. Physically and mentally, it's a stretch. But I do believe that greater things are installed for me.

I'm reminding myself that my character is more important than my comfort. So cheers to a better Wendy! =)

I love this pic! =) It is the work of Kingsley's friend, Andy! I want to bring that girl in pink home! Zah!

Grandmama

20 April, Sun @ Expo Hall 8.

Hee hee. :)

I want to see this girl grow!



20 April, Sun @ COSBT

Somebody gave me roses. :)

Not just a bouquet, I got 3.

NAH, they were my grandma's! =)

She was water baptised! PTL! =)

You know, in the most formative years of my childhood, it was my grandma who was there for me, taking care of me and bringing me up. I have a bond with her and I owe who I am today to her. Without her years of sowing into my life, I dunno what I would have become. I'm so glad that she came to know Jesus and experienced His peace and His healing power on her legs.

My grandma is in her eighties and the earlier part of her life was plagued with hardships. She had to hide in the mountains when the Japanese attacked S'pore in WWII. She married young to an abusive husband, later divorced and had to singlehandedly bring up 8 children. Not 1, not 2 but 8 children. Her pain, only God will understand. Just like some pain that you and I have to go through, no other human being will understand as much as God will. And He knows. He knows your every thought and hears every word you speak. He knows your pain, your suffering, your hopes, your dreams. He knows every single thing about you. Even the hairs on your head are numbered.

My grandma said no to God for eighty years. Finally, on one fateful day, she said yes. Yes to love, to peace, to healing for her every hurt, to a relationship with the one who knows her inside out. And I know one day it will be your turn.

I was on a photo-taking frenzy 2 Sats ago so here are the pics! These people make me look forward to my weekends everytime! =) The only sad thing was that I had to wear formal clothes which I didn't like at all. I so dun wanna get an office job! ;)

19 April, Sat @ Joseph's Condo

With Mark.

With Nian.

Close up with Hong Xiu.

With Yuling.

Goofy.

Debbie can pose like craaazy. Haha.

Buddha pose but I just want to look pretty! =P

Hello, we are the CNY bai nian gang. LOL.

Leader Zoe!


Leader Diana!

Bang bang bang!!! (u get the joke rite!? If not, aiyo, check out the fringe. ;))

I loved Elicia's black and pink outfit! ;)

I thought Liu Jing's bright green overalls (is that what it's called?) was nice. :)

I liked Val's outfit of the day too! Very cool and in trend. =)



19 April, Sat @ Expo Hall 8


My dear Eileen and shuai ge Elson. I haven seen them for some time!

With the fashionista.

I felt Janet's style was so Jap/Korean and cute!

Woo hoo, check out that hot babe there! Haha. :P



19 April, Sat @ Exclesior Hotel

We were in the Korean flow and went to a Korean BBQ restaurant located at Exclesior Hotel (near Funan IT Mall)! The food was yummy! First time in the 20 years of my life that I actually tasted Korean food! Their white rice is really one of a kind and I dun fancy kimchi of course. ;)

Korean fried rice with beef.

After eating to our heart's content, we celebrated Hui Yun and Terence's birthdays!

She's really a sweetie! :)


Her card is super nice. Jamie, I want a card like that for my 21st birthday too! Haha.

I was just at the usual bus stop this morning waiting for Ben to come pick me. I was experiencing some serious morning blues when lo and behold, came this super adorable little ang moh girl. She was with her mum and her older brother who was pretty handsome. I noticed her the moment she was near me. And when she stood in front of me, I smiled (the last thing I felt like doing) and said: " Hello, you're so cute! She looked at me and said, "Hello!" in a high-pitched voice. Moments later, she said to her mother, "Mama, are we taking bus 61"? and I tell you that was unbelievably cute. I chuckled. I had a huge urge to take a picture of her the moment I set my eyes on her. I was this close to whipping out my camera. She was pretty and had this beautiful pair of bluish-green eyes with blonde hair. Her bus came and this little ang moh girl that brought a smile to my face and brightened up my emo morning disappeared from my sight.

Suddenly, this thought crossed my mind: " I want to have such super duper adorable and charming ang moh children and in order for that to happen, I need to marry a ang moh husband. And maybe migrate to America." Hahaha. Now I know why many Asian girls dig ang mohs so much! :D

Cross-cultural marriage, what do you think?? My aunt married a Britain and one of my cousins married a Korean. Will Wendy marry a Chinese, her own race? Or will she break socially accepted norms and tradition and marry an American? And produce super adorable Caucasian offsprings that some Chinese can only wish they have?

P.S: Wendy is going to America in December. If she doesn't come back, you know why! :P

12 April 2008 @ East Coast Park's Hong Kong Cafe. :)

Sistas! =D

Chao Siew Mee that costs $6.50 but very delicious! =)

I miss all the cheap bling bling jewelry I can buy at Nu Ren Jie!

My fave photo of the day! :)

A nice yellow car that caught my attention! :)

Posing with Mark at the nice nice fountain.

I'm currently halfway through "What To Do Until Love Finds You" by Michelle Mckinney Hammond and the introduction is really mind-blowing information!

" Men are like buses . . . . You can passively wait - and perhaps miss the bus because you weren't prepared to get on. Or you can actively wait - poised at the curb with all your packages balanced, ready to make the leap when the bus arrives. How you wait is up to you. Are you waiting in doubt and resignation? Or are you waiting in anticipation of your mate's arrival? Who sits down on the bench when they think the bus is coming? " LIKE WOW huh?

Ok moving on! I was supposed to go for the bob haircut (think Victoria Beckham and Rihanna) but due to time constraint, the hairstylist decided not to do it in the end. But oh well, I was just getting comfortable with my new hairstyle anyway. He highlighted my hair though! Violetish red. Not a very significant change but special nonetheless because I never had a permanent hair color on my black mane for 20 years! :D He highlighted my hair in front of like 30 other hairstylists! A bit nervous initially but okay lah. :) He has 30 years of experience in the hair industry so I know I was in safe hands. He kept saying my hair is very very black and said I have very healthy and smooth hair. :)

Zah, I miss my hair already.

Dine was nice to let me hold her wand. :D

It was Geraldine's 21st celebration yesterday at Bottle Tree Park at Khatib. Quite an interesting and nice place. But I won't hold my birthday celebration there. It cost $1200 just to book the place and cater the food for 40 people. So ex! My 21st birthday party must be under $1000 and super super fun.

I finally deleted the smses that I held dear to. 534 of them. It took courage.The 11 months long affair has finally come to an end. A big thank you to all my dear friends who saw me through it, who heard my sorrows, my struggles, counseled and scolded me. I needed all that. LG & LG. ;) It wasn't easy at all of course, but it is not impossible either. I am living out Phil 3:13 - 14 in my life.

Goodbye!

SOT was fantastic today. Pst Ming taught and boy oh boy was he interesting and humorous. U really have to go for his BSs man and u'll know what I mean. ;)

I'm going for a free haircut tmr! I think it is gonna be a major change of hairstyle. Yikes, nervous. :)

With Janet's geeky specs! She is one bold and crazy girl when it comes to dressing up! Haha. Thanks Debbie dear for the pics! :)




Zah. What's a bestowed with perfect eyesight person like me doing with such a huge, nerdy specs!!? HAHA. =P

SOT classes started today and guess what!? I just got 2 good paying tuition assignments today in a couple of hours! Just like that with no extra effort of looking for them on my part! PTL! =) He is good! :) The POG attracts tuition assignments. Haha.

Orientation was yesterday and I saw many familiar faces in SOT! Perez,Joelle, Michelle, Huiling, Delvina, Jing, Jeremy, Carol, Kee Wei, Kelvin,Aaron from SMU, Theresa, Aaron from Dance. Did I miss out anyone!? Haha.

My team 16, combined with 25 for the orientation games and we won 2nd runner up for best team! :) The prize was $30 attributes voucher for each of us! :) Thinking of using it to buy a best-selling pink in colour book about singlehood which I saw the last time I was at Attributes. Haha.

My team has about 20 pple, like 5 just graduated from poly, 5 final year in Uni and the rest of them are working adults but almost everyone is in their 20s. =) Samuel Soo is my new best friend here! A sometimes lame, but makes-me-laugh-and-nice brother. ;) He's my competition for the Best SOT Student award. Hehe.


With my SOT tag, nice? :) And of course, my new hairstyle. Haha . I was bored of my previous hairstyle so I went for bangs which only cost me 5 bucks. :D It's like a new hairstyle to mark a new chapter of my life. Prettier now not? LOL.

Choir practice in an hour and sleeping over at Joelle's hostel tonight! :)

U would have noticed many smiley faces in this entry. That's because I am happy happy happy. =)

I saw Xiaxue and Fiona Xie outside Zouk yesterday! Xiaxue is really short in person. Fiona was wearing a cap and kind of secretive. Toooo bad that I didnt get to take pics with them. But I made new friends! Amanda, Erica, Daniel, Natalie, just to name a few! And I bumped into Gab Ho who will always shout chiongster! when he sees me there. LOL. But we both know who the real chiongster is. Kingsley said he'll Phuture with me when he comes back, yayness. =D

It's a night I wont forget. Smiles...

What Wendy Ang Means

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

The words in red dun sound like me! Haha.

'Step Up 2 the Streets' pales in comparison to the first movie. The lead characters have changed and the romance in this one is nothing compared to the previous. Nothing spectacular about the plot either. What was redeeming about the movie was of course the sleek, hot and way cool dance moves showcased, especially at the end. Might be worth your $6 but not your $10. Haha. So maybe u wanna catch it online instead. =P

The Leader

THE LEADER

'In Search of Excellence', calls the leader a 'social architect.' - Warren Bennis


The world changes from the top down not the bottom up.

If you're the leader, lead!

You can't lead from the rear.

You're out front. You go where others don't.

You take people where they don't want to go, but when you get them there, they kiss you!

The people aren't doing it because the leader hasn't led them into doing it. That's why you're the leader.

If the people aren't ready, it's because the leader hasn't prepared them.

Leaders change the world.

They don't leave the world the same way they found it.



Stepping out with you,
Phil Pringle

FINALLY gonna have classes tmr. My last module was in Dec can. Arts & Our World, here I come baby!

My 5th March

Constance Song Yi Fei called me today! If you have no idea who she is, click here. Well, it's the first time in 20 years of my life that a celebrity actually called me so I was excited, hehe. I always thought her voice is pretty unique and I got to hear it right before my ears myself, haha. I'm gonna give her sister tuition soon so she called to coordinate the timing. Constance's sis is my cousin's classmate. Haha. Singapore is a small world. And she actually didn't make her number private so I have her hp number and I'm saving it as Constance Song (celebrity!!!), lol. But yeah, I shall be professional at my tutoring nonetheless and I'm not gonna be an asshole and give her number away.

Anyways, I finally ventured out after cooping at home the past 2 days and had dinner with Evan, Vann, Yuling and Liu Jing!

Their presence makes me look forward to attending choir prac! =)

Then we headed on down to choir prac tgt. It was so enjoyable! =) We laughed so much during our ritualistic vocals training, here's why! :

Yeah we look retarded but we enjoyed ourselves so who cares! =D

Annabel said we need to improve in our vocal skills be it when it comes to rhythm or whatever we're weak in so yeah I gotta do that! I needa remember my parts and sing the right notes all the time! We rehearsed CCC's "Take a Hold of Me" and "You're Deserving". I love "Take a Hold of Me"! "God oh God, take a hold of me, turn me upside down, let's make history! Let yr power get inside me, show me all I can be!" Sing it out loud with all yr hearts this weekend pple! ;)

The passion for Choir is back again... I belong. =) I believe I'm here to stay. =)

My day was simple but yet it was full of joy and laughter. Just kept seeing things that made me smile and laugh. Robb Thompson said in his Daily Success Key today that "Everyday is a gift from God waiting to be unwrapped." Indeed it is so. May I always unwrap His gifts everyday and not leave them at a corner to collect dust! And my ear is not painful after we prayed for healing tgt during choir prac! =)

The left side of my face is swollen, no thanks to the bacterial infection in my left ear! Pain pain. =( I went to see the doc on Sun and he didn't give me any antibiotics. I went to get the antibiotics today at the clinic and it costs me $14 for ten pills. ('-')"' That's $1.40 for each pill... expensive leh!

Anyway, scroll all the way down to see all the new entries! My blog is best viewed with Internet Explorer 7.0, so if u're using IE 6.0, change already! Do let me know if you see any thing on my blog that doesn't look right.

I think the blogging momentum is coming back to me. Dear loyal blog readers, rejoice! Lol....

Something strange happened today. I dreamt that my friend went to a jap restaurant with 2 girls and I wasn't invited. I told my friend and he said that my dream happened. He did went to a jap restaurant two days ago with 2 girls. The thing is . . . I had absolutely no idea. He did not mention a word about it to me at all . . . so how on earth could I have dreamt about it?

And in my dream, I remembered one of the girls had long hair and that there was salmon on the table. And that was exactly what it was.

And you know I don't believe in concidence.

Any reasonable explanation for this anyone?

My first day of the month was anything but boring! It was awesome! =) And full of surprises too! ;P

First time I wore this outfit. =) So glad to bump into Evan at Bedok's hawker centre.

Haha. We wear so nice go hawker centre... The chicken hanging behind sort of acts as a contrast! And oh oh, you-know-who's bro is the guy in white behind! =D

Hmmm, Jamie said I looked nice with my hair tied-up and all the girls agreed in unison!

Lalala.
