I am ploughing through the texts and swimming around legal terms i haven't fully come to terms with (pardon the pun), i am trying to make connections that just about make sense to me, i am piecing them together in the most logical way i know how. i am a work in progress, as is the constitution of the UK.

this isn't like me, to go to bed every night with academic burdens heavy on my head, knowing that i could have read more/done more/studied more. nor is it any more like me to freak over minor unassessed essays that constitute(pardon the pun again) to nothing of my everything-grade.sitting square with my face is the phrase "PRESSURE TO GET THE GRADES"(IN CAPS MIND YOU) followed paradoxically with the passive aggressiveness most commonly found in academic brainwash "attending university is not just about gaining the end result of a grade but.. blah blah.. process." -- yar, right.

quite possibly, my years of producing sub-standard work and putting in mediocre effort has led to this overzealousness to make something of my final academic lap. or maybe it is just the accumulation of my subconscious that has culminated into a filial obligation. or maybe it is the lemony snicketness of things back home that have coerced me into this state where i pretend that i am swamped with work so that i don't have to deal-

whatever it is. i am just damn tired that my brain is thriving on the adrenaline from pleonastic and pretentious sentence construction

okok on a happier note! shiok worship at mosaic church today, they did 'shine' which brought me back to supernova and i couldn't help but smile. it reminded me of ben telling me that even though i'm faraway from them, that i'm really not at all because i have my God. and thank God for God.

hug

until very shiok

thanks to des, i have been enlightened that you don't only "chi de jin jin you wei" but you can also "sao de jin jin you wei".

jin jin you wei, is a cheng yu for every occasion where you feel that you can reach a point "until very shiok".

shioks.

the other day in lecture i caught myself stoning for a few mins when it hit that i'm actually studying law. that never in a million years would i have thought that i'd be on this career path. not that i think that it's a huge deal, you know, cuz apparently the law school in nus isn't part of nus itself but a disparate entity altogether (according to sources) but because on my part, due to my habitual lack of motivation and passion, that THIS is a huge deal for me.

how it took me an extra year to get here, that year and all it meant for me - to experience, to learn, to change. that year got me here, and has to follow me through the next 3. and those for life.

love from different parts of the world. some look at love as crazy over their head just like in taiwanese drama serials or PI LI HUO-esque brands of love. others just take love as a compulsory sex module. i suppose it is like there everywhere and even though i don't agree with it, i've learnt that when it comes to how others love it isn't my stand to take anyway

family. that i've subconsciously bore a lot of hate beneath what overtly felt like love, and loved subconsciously more than what i've hated. a lot of times i've wished for a complete family. i've never felt that i needed a perfect family, but i've always hoped for less than what it is. over summer, God showed me a family i need to pray fervently for, a family i need to love perseveringly

friends. some whom without which i feel handicapped, others whom without which make me feel that i have to work harder at being a better person.

which brings me back to leeds. that i'm here because it's where God wants me to be. that i'm studying law because of God's grace. that i'm living a second chance because God has a plan for me that's bigger than all of this.

and thankfully, a Godsent second family that supports me in spirit, loves me in spirit and keeps me afloat when i feel faraway. i missew v much.

now a pick-and-mix-ish assortment of pics

lj , me

nattie, me

ed, sarah, adeline, zuthur

we made it this time!!

somebody throw me some colour, yikes

visual of the day : ed doing her LOUD n*** re-enactment

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:49:10 GMT

3rd week in leeds and still no complaints, this new academic year has truly been a surprise. maybe i'm speaking too soon, maybe i'm just too caught up with ed's and my humble but beautiful abode. but leeds ain't doing too bad. and whilst i think that leeds is being good to me, in the words of ben 'rather, you are being good to leeds'.

been ticking things off my mental checklist:
-find church (pending)
-find cute angmoh of the sem(tick)
-make the house our own ( tick tick )
-never leave home without the holy spirit (tick tick tick!)

studying overseas is a limbo-tic experience. when you go back, you're on holiday from studying. when you're here, you're on holiday from every homeground obligation. your home is a luggage for the 3-4,5,1209381 years that you're away. your heart is a luggage, picking things up from here and there-

living with ed has been very homey. i attribute that to the list of reasons why i'm not homesick this time round. us breaking into our little skits, eating our pseudo-korean style meal, doing our own things sidebyside, making sure she doesnt paw at my laptop with her sweaty/dirty hands before a routine personal hygiene procedure, our smoothie + poached egg smoked salmon spinach with hollandaise sauce on english muffin breakfast, marketing, supermarketing, chinese supermarketing, morning notes, going home together, leaving home together (just to name a few)- all these little things which combined supersizes itself into a giant ball of happy edness. i love living with ed! thank you for putting up with my monicaness.

missew all back home

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:02:13 GMT

saw a picture of winn and immediately (& instinctively) missed her.

missew

sigh because i have to say 2 goodbyes

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 08:33:19 GMT

i'm back home. part of me is glad to be home - church, warmth, family. but part of me is still stuck in melbourne- city gate, cold, bron. so even though it's apparently my birthday, i'm sad. because being home, i think about how my mum is sad. and being home, i think about bron's teary eyes. so it's my party and i cry if i wanna!

but but, thanks be to God for everything. that even though i'm sad, i feel very thankful that i'm even alive. for God's revelations and His promises to me this past week. i couldn't have had a better present. so thank you Lord, you da best!

love u bronzy

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 01:09:59 GMT

more often than not, when i look back into my thoughts, my retrospective mind makes a connection with the past and i know that i am more myself now because of what God has done in me and less of myself in me because of what i have done for myself. but sometimes, some times, on mornings that i come home and it's too late to fall asleep again but too early to do anything other than "jab" at the computer, i think of how things have become for the past year and a half-

friends loved and lost, friends lost but found and now loved, upheaval of family past and present, refreshed dynamics of family relations, old secrets, new secrets, strangers who become friends, and friends who become family-
i forget things easily because a lot of things have become less important to me on the whole, the overwhelming inertia to leave the house when i have to go out and it's not to go to church, using hokkien terms to express myself better, using chinese to up my humour-factor and relational skills but at the same time using the queen's english to enforce the fact that i am as angmoh as any other person studying in the uk. i tell people not to say the f-word if they wish to glorify God yet i find myself constantly being reminded by others to work on the road rage tendencies.
despite all these things that i need to work on, it helps to know that all of us are mere works in progress. my God is here and as long as He stays in the equation of my life, then it doesn't really matter what happens cause no matter what, i'm gonna be ok.

the other day i found myself having to drive over multiple highways and filtering into a kazillion lines just so i could buy one bloody lightbulb from ikea that i'd overlooked when i bought the cheapo lamp for my techy-station. and to make the fuel-loss and carpark fee worth my while, my sis and i took to the restaurant where we ended up having swedish mitballs, seafood salad, chicken wings, root beer, curry puff, sausage, daim chocolate. theoretical indigestion potential aside, what led to real indigestion were the AA girls sitting 2 tables down-
curly haired dua eurasian girl: 50 cent scares me.
(thinking to myself she's referring to the rapper with hulky build)
curly haired dua eurasian girl: the coin is just so big!

straight haired skinny chinese girl:who did teri end up with, the plumber right
curly haired dua girl:MIKE, haha the plumber. haha omg lah OMG it's like you end up falling in love with like a plumber like OMG ARE YOU CRAZY

my sis stares over to look at what they were eating, as if to sniff her competition
sis: that girl (curly haired dua eurasian girl) shouldn't be eating those potatoes man
me: she's probably saying the same thing about us
sis: i didn't eat any of the potatoes with the mitballs, the mitballs are gross. the curry puff is damn good tho
me:eew no, the curry puff damn gross
sis:it's damn nice inside, all potatoes
(realising the extent of her potato-hypocrisy)
me:hehe

so after a while of tahan-ing the irritating sideshow at ikea, my sis cuts through their decibel-breaking laughs and their bimbo-wannabeness by shooting them a 'i'm older than you so shuddup' look:
me:wah lau, they're gonna bitch about us once we leave lah
sis: seriously, they need to bitch about themselves first before they bitch about us man

now i'm sleepy so i shall continue the recount of other adventures with supersis another time-

God will make a way

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 06:41:21 GMT

..when there seems to be no way. He works in ways you cannot see , He will make a way for me.

this morning as i was lying in the back of the car, letting the grog settle in my eyes, unexpectant in my hello-kitty pjs, my dad cuts the silence as he says

'boy boy sent me a text last night'.
'really!?'

after 3 months of not speaking to each other at all, boye finally sent my father a text for such a simple thing as to ask for a drill, but that one line made all the difference in the world to my dad.furthermore, my sister told me that she saw him studying when he came home saturday night and even in the car on sunday. i know this is all God's work without a doubt in my mind. Something clicks when God snaps His finger and reaches into our hearts and tells us 'I WANT YOU'.

all i can say is God really puts me in my place sometimes. with all the unbelief , double-mindedness i cover-up with forced relent , God says that through Him all things are possible. be it alex, my family, my studies, God REALLY does have a way for them and me and i only want to draw closer to His heart to the point it becomes my own. just like David i want to be that man after God's own heart', and just like the 4 lepers i want to be a person with selfless love and just like Jesus i want an unshakeable mountain-moving faith.

how do you exclude God from such a fallen world as this?

in other news, i can't believe that nicholas tse and cecilia cheung are married and she's expecting a child! and and, adriel is finally home! yippee hoorah hey!

and for those who wanted to know, if your PS2 is dusty, wash it.

Sat, 28 Jul 2007 06:20:56 GMT

haven't had anything to blog about, or if there was i've clean forgotten about it. so anyway, since there isn't anything that significant to talk about, let's just screen some videos of my current favourite band 'desperation band'!

ministry has been good, and God as always, has been super. Devotion with 'my utmost for His highest' has been convicting, revealing and cheem.

i've met more friends over the past week than i have over the last 2 months. i got my left wisdoms removed and post-surgery was practically painless and swell-free. i have a new favourite dentist : Dr Joel Leong

and on a totally out-of-point note, a quote from House:
Husband of house's ex-wife: what's going on here
House: it's not what it looks like. i know it looks like we're washing dishes, but we're actually having sex

ya, that kept me laughing for a good 7 seconds.

blessed saturday y'all

are you there God, it's me

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 16:54:41 GMT

Father God, where are You..i miss You, but i know You miss me more.

sigh

genius@work

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 04:13:34 GMT

yeah that's not me. i'm just pretending to be one..

sianness, ultimate sianness! and i promise it has nothing to do with work nor any other thing going in my life right now. i am sian for NO reason.

i watched 2 good movies in 2 consecutive days:
1.fantastic 4 that i was so skeptical about because jessica alba acts as a blonde and her tv-brother isn't even the same race as her

2.transformers that i had faint verging on no recollection of as a child but watched merely for shia le bouf

i know deb hates watching movies with me cause i'm damn bad at it. i didn't know movie-watching required skill! anyway i've come to a conclusion that i'm only bad at watching blockbusters and action movies cause of their excessive use of gibberish masked as cheem science terms that noone understands but manages to get away with it because of the multiple explosions that distract everyone from the underlying fact that everything doesn't actually make any sense.

(more later)

Your love is amazing

Sat, 30 Jun 2007 16:57:11 GMT

i don't know how to start off this entry because there are emotions that feel so out-of-body and an incredible hulk of a headache that feels like it aches everywhere. (my God is amazing)

i was truly touched by today's service and for awhile i wasn't sure why tears were rolling but i knew that God was holding. in my head i saw God putting his arms around me and i felt precious and loved beyond any love that i can even come close to comprehending. do you know how it feels like to close your eyes and feel like you're swimming in a sea of awe and reverence? or feel completely and abandonedly... safe? do you?

today i just felt Jesus grip my heart and tell me that He has called me out. i am His to change my family and to live a life that is going to make a true difference. i know it.

i'm really very scared because God's path is a promised but periled one.. but i cannot imagine living it any other way

you know, i really want to describe every ounce of this feeling. every single beat of my heart that is beating with Jesus. every part of consciousness that i've gradually abandoned to feel totally captured. i really want to use words to describe how Jesus has just been so amazing, but that song is in my heart and i hope everyone starts singing theirs soon

message in a bottle

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 08:22:27 GMT

today i received a very encouraging and definitely SURPRISING email from an sc friend who i never realised reads my blog

hey asha

haha sorry for such a random out-of-the-blue email. actually i dun even know if u still check this email haha but anyways. i've been reading ur blog, linked from thengs. just wanted to say its very enjoyable and encouraging to read your entries. so ya thanks for sharing your experiences with God with me n the rest of the people who read ur blog! hahah keep shining for Him =)

geri

and the fact that i even got hold of this HOTmail only goes to show that God is just so undeniably real. firstly, how often do i go to hotmail, secondly, how often do i READ hotmail, and thirdly, what are the chances that YOU haven't been spam-filtered.

so anyway, thank you geri (for being a secret cathysummers reader) and for actually bothering to send me a HOTmail to remind me that God doesn't just put people in your life only to forget them.

we are all so blessed

"this has elitism in it!"

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 20:32:34 GMT

i just woke up for no apparent reason so i decided to check campusweb and seriously, God has been so good. no more law foundation but rather, say hello to a full-fledged law degree course. I am now entitled to feel like legitimate university student and not just pretend to be one. in my heart, i know that none of this was me and it was all God. some people might say that with christians there are 2 scenarios:
1.when bad shit happens - its us
2.when good shit happens - its God
but we know that be it bad shit or good shit, it's all God. the godlessness of the wide and winding road i was taking allowed God to use that period for "suffering" and trial. who doesn't know that when shit happens, it happens all at once. anyway, God realised that for as long as i can remember, i wasn't banking on Him, but on the promises He had made me in a life that i was creating for myself. so anyway when i was the most down and out than i had ever been (who actually feels post Alevels for an entire year), that made me set my eyes back on Jesus because i had absolutely nothing else to hold me together.

no friends
no bf
no academic achievement
no choice

there was nothing else i could "hide" behind to make it seem as if my life was good. so even when i was serving God in the worship team at the time, i can still taste how it felt like to be so.... lost.

i feel kinda like one of those "chicken soup for the.. (whatever)" people, un-famous people with un-famous stories writing in a somewhat famous book that nobody reads anymore. it's kinda like the bible i think, many un-famous people with un-famous stories (discounting noah and moses) in a somewhat famous book (le bible). anyway my story is but one of the stories that hardly attest to God's divinity. but my story is just that, MY story and i cannot come close to even thanking him for attesting His divinity to me that He is no longer my garnish on the main course, but the main course itself while everything else is just garnish.

i know, several bad analogies!

anyway i was just thinking about how God-centric entries hardly give people anything to talk about. i mean, when it comes to crap like partying and boyfriendly love, everyone can easily relate and go 'wah you look damn happy' and 'i know what you mean, i know how you feel, boys are (fill in appropriate word)'.

sometimes i'm a little conscious when it comes to how people see me as now. some typical "brainwashed" 'Jesus freak' with no apparent mind or will of their own. lj is constantly calling me 'miss puritan' and i know it's true that i really don't have any friends apart from churchies and a handful of sc and sa people.
but this is what it is: it's not like i'm at the point where i can say all i need is God and i am immune to the world, but rather, all i am is God's, and therefore i am attune to His world.

yesterday ed asked me if clubbing was a sin cause ben made it sound like it was
imagine a commandment 'thou shalt not club'
Moses (the guy who according to kenneth, built the ark) would have been damn sjp lah
"what!? no clubbing. God, what is this man. i won't murder, i won't commit adultery, i won't use Your name in vain. but no clubbing! that's just pushing the envelope"

God doesn't give us a life of deprivation. rather, He fills our cup so much so that it overflows and we are left less needy for "things" in general. I still have the ability to make choices and am wholly responsible for the 'free-will'ed part of me. like how i know that i'm going to watch harry potter and some christians are like 'THAT'S A SIN!'. give me proof that jk rowling is satanic and my 7 bucks is going straight to her satanic tithing-

so anyway that day winn and i basically watched the first vcd of 'the prisoner of azkaban' at borders. we planted ourself as i explained some un-muggle terms and took pride in the fact that she's the most un-harry pottered person around! i mean, who doesn't know what a muggle is! (i must add tho that she did know that hagrid had a dragon). anyway at the end of the first vcd (that couldn't be flipped over so cannot continue watching), winn said something super un-winn 'ok, i go watch the other movies..'

some assumptions she had:
1.people in hogwarts don't need to study
2.hogwarts school term got no school break(after finding out that they need to study, she doesn't want them to have holidays)

"so at the end of it, you get a hogwarts degree"
"where the hell is that gonna get you man"

winn and i also formed a new theory: that when you like someone, you like to see them being stupid
this is what i call, the "spirulina(seaweed pill) effect". it was birthed when boye made the girl he liked eat a seaweed pill and after some time, made her look into the mirror to check out the entire green seaweed mouth he had given her.
only a person truly in "like" would say, "she's quite stupid herself"

Love used to be about inconvenience. now, it's just about stupidity.

that makes me a genius.

these 2 weeks are over and i'm feeling abit out of water, out of breath and out of it. it's really strange that although now things have come to a close, it is only now that i am excruciatingly exhausted and running on 'reserve battery power'. yet while i had those days on end, those 3 hour sleep nights and the mad rushes to art stores and driving tests and church meetings, it felt like the most awake i've been in..... ages! i just have to say that there is the MOST satisfying feeling in serving God that doesn't satisfy you actually but rather, makes you hungry for more of Him. i am so glad that i am God's.

Thank the Lord for SUPERNOVA! impact youth has totally changed and from mediocre evangelistic services (where it was practically only des bringing his friends), last saturday saw an essentially 20-30 strong congregation soar to a count of 86! PRAISE THE LORD! some of us really needed the number to start envisioning a greater purpose for our ministry. for all of us, at least for the ones who have held it together and seen the ministry crumble and pick up and crumble and pick up countless times, it was just soooo rewarding to see such a wonderful outcome. Christ really is devine.

but for now, most of us are exhausted from the stress and work that we just need a time of quietness and alonetime with God just to dwell in His presence and give thanks.

NEXT STOP, FOLLOWUPS!

continue to trust people, we are soul-set on the Holy Name!

ok now for some lame jokes courtesy of church

-des , ks and i talking abt some random things-
kenneth: you guys have issues man
(continuous chatter)
kenneth: WHAT! why you gimme tissue!
(ks and i start bursting out in laughter)
des: you asked for tissue what, SO I GIVE YOU LAH!
me: he said we have issues! not tissues!

-in life bookshop-
(i drop the planetshakers 'arise' cd)
me: des, pick it up please
ks: no, 'arise!' .. 'pick it up' is the other one!
(-_-)
ks:hahahaha, i think i'm damn funny

(saw the new 'saviour of the world' planetshakers cd)
me:walau, didn't 'never stop' just come out, how come got new cd so fast!
ks: cause the other cd said 'never stop', so they 'never stop' producing cds
(3-sweat)

(in the midst of telling ben ps peter's testimony)
me:.. so he had like 20 tubes sticking out of his body and head..
ben: oh man, x-men!
me: whaaaaat

(in the icecreamshop, i see the sign 'new flavour' next to 'crunchy almond'
me: new flavour...... whoa........ so, what does 'NEW' taste like!
bea: (stifling laughter).... ASH!
(des whispers to ks about the "embarrassing" comment)
so after des decides to ask the icecreamgirl for an icecream taster
me: EY! WHY YOU SO SHYYYYYY DES

shit, i think these jokes are either 'need to be there to find it funny' jokes, or u need to be.. us!

much love

yesterday we learnt that our friendly (and not to mention favourite) not-so-neighbourhood starbucks will be serving their last 'cuppa' next sunday. sad sad stuff, sad sad stuff. worst thing is that that means we'll have to find another starbucks or worser still, a new COFFEEHOUSE. what the! anyone up for signing the 'save the XXX starbucks' petition? it didn't work when 3 people tried to save paris hilton from being sent into the bighouse, but i'm sure with starbucks it's a totally different situation altogether.

anyway it's picture time!youtube is being very testy so no videos or now. the pics however have decided to be very impactyouthy apart from the single pic of bruno. i play favourites, i know!

i know i'm just adamant that diaryland is a dummies guide to customization of blog layouts and that lj is frickin kang kor. anyway thanks to winn's patience, and debs diligence,i finally have a layout i can be proud of. i can start blogging again.

first things first, all glory to God for the crazy enthusiastic and powerful service we all experienced yesterday! kudos to ben (another one of my favourite preachers) and the best worship team ever who created a synergy and an atmosphere that stirred something up in all our hearts. also thanks to the chinese ministry who came and gave impact youth service numbers! thanks to the loyal and faithful servants and congregation of impact youth who have pressed on, and pressed in and believed through the rutts and the highs. keep praying for our breakthrough you all! muchos muchos muchos thanks to our Heavenly Father who has been so faithful and so good to all of us! success rate of a commendable percentage with regards to the youth item for dad's day. MAJOR PHEW.

yesterday after encore worship ended, bea and i turned to each other and said 'wah....... that was....... damn shiok'!

stay tuned for pictures and videos to validate my enthusiasm!

when i'm out, it's too damn hot to go anywhere.. when i'm home,it's too damn boring to do anything.

now that my holidays seem 4 times longer than the normal, i am consciously wasting hours of being able to do productive things. for example, i haven't gone to use mum's free massage hours to get rid of the kink in my back , neither have i unpacked the rest of the clothes in my luggage. there is also a pile of bags in the cupboard meant for toiletries and sundries, and because of the pile, only the uppermost part of the pile are being used to match everything i wear. what else, i haven't updated my purse with local cards but instead make do with coins and loose cash. at the back of my head i know i've got loadsa things to do but i keep living on the ex-reason but present-suspicion that i am still jetlagged because of how i have adopted winnie's "indie" body clock-

i have pictures from manchester that i wanted to post ages ago! i didn't mention to anyone except that old trafford was a no-go because of FA CUP FINALS!

so the little adventure started with 2 non-fans (1 non-soccer fan, and 1 arsenal or is it chelsea-fan) here

and ended here

as people on diets make do with plastic-tasting flourless muffins, people locked out of old trafford make do with an almost-experience. here's what we manages

other pictures of manchester

i learnt from this lady that it is physically possible to coordinate your wardrobe with ANYTHING

this is the best moment of the day, when we finally got to sit down after hours of racing to shop and despite missing our train, i got to snap a pic of the dome.

as you can tell, i have been very lazy to take more recent pictures and therefore, i have to blog about outdated events that really aren't very interesting.

i'm still bored
