Finale, Was It That Grand?

Finally this is the day of Intel Idol Finals. Hot yet a fun day. Great experience to be performing in front of the crowd. Interesting to dress myself up in ways that I have never done before. Confusedly not understanding the results. Not because I am not the winner, but there are other contestants who did better than the top 3. Speechless and puzzled. Singing is a fun thing to do! Nothing much to blog about this competition for now...

'Bloody' Day

What are you thinking??? No, I am cursing my day!

I have another first encounter of my life today! Hee hee, I actually participated in a blood donation which was held in my company. Hmm, I guess the GH was quite desperate to get the blood... Well, you see, I was actually laughing in excitement when my blood pressure was measured. Hence, it showed a higher reading than usual (98/66), which was 103/68. Hmm, she said I am fit enough... well... I had to continue laughing to make my blood pressure higher throughout the whole process after that.

It wasn't a very good experience for me though. I can never forget how the nurse actually left a scissors clipping to the tube with a needle poked in my vein, and the pair of scissors was actually hanging in the air!!! OUCH!!! What a scary first time experience for me!!

Hmm, there are also some speculation on the consequences of donating blood.

1. Donor will gain weight after that!!! Oh boy... please don't let this happen to me.

2. Donor will get addicted to donating blood and has to do every 3 months. -.-:

3. Donor will get very very very weak. IMO, this could be true, and that's why I am taking plenty of fruits and supplements.

Ahh... perhaps I have to buy more chinese herbs like ginseng or 'patt chan' to rebuild my blood cells. Hehe...

My Graduation

YAY!!! It's my BIG day today!!! I managed to catch sufficient amount of sleep for the long day that I would have to go through. Cut it short, the convo ceremony started at 230pm, and all graduates were supposed to be seated by 220pm. Well, since my apt is just opposite USM, I thought I'd have loads of spare time by starting my journey there at 145pm. Boy, I was so wrong! We took the wrong turn in USM and ended up going in a loop which led to nowhere but the exit gate! Clock was ticking to 200...210...215... -.-" I was so so nervous thinking that I was surely missing the convo ceremony already! HF boldly took a narrow turn (because the road was blocked) to get to the convo hall no matter what, and fortunately it led to the convo hall. Phew, I ran towards it as fast as I could with my high heels (ouch!). It was such a relief to see so many graduates from my faculty still hanging around the lobby, taking pictures, etc. I knew I wasn't too late and could still make it! After much heart-thumping rush and help from my friends I occasionally bumped into, I managed to get the robe nicely worn, thank God! It was pleasant seeing all my coursemates again in the hall.

I am so glad that my parents came for the ceremony despite having to sit through the boring ceremony which lasted for 3 hours just to be able to watch me go on the stage to get my scroll. :-)

Bro, SIL (sis in-law), and Chloe were already waiting around 530pm. It was really wonderful to have them attending my convo to celebrate the joy with me, hehe. The convo wouldn't have meant so much without them, hehe. Bro truly gave immeasurable effort to be the 'cameraman' of the day (dedicated just for me :P) of taking almost 3 hours of pics with his geng chau nikon! I am truly blessed by all my family members' support and love! YEAH!! You'll get to see his masterpiece by the end of this post.

It was really sweet to be seeing my CG members (both from Hope and USM) being present for this memorable occasion. I also received plenty of gifts from them. My 'lil sis' also came, JUST FOR ME! Aww... I am truly touched by all their sincerity. :-)

The day continued with plenty of photoshoot with basically anyone I knew, HAHA! I had a satisying dinner with my family, not to mention the quench of thirst (PHEW!) that we all savoured after a few hours of dehydration! I believe not only me, but all my innocent family members also got caught in that situation... so cham... :-( More photoshoots after we got home. Ok, enough of story telling, here are the masterpiece as promised

Unbelievable!

Monday is here! This is the day of verdict. Remember the singing contest I was talking about last week? This is really unbelievable... HF and I both got into the finals! HAHAHA! Praise God!! We were both doing our own solos for semi-finals. I believe it is really by God's grace that we are in the finals, because the competition was really tight. God has blessed me so numerously this week. In fact, I am sure that He has always been faithful by blessing me lil by lil, yet sufficiently :) It's time to think of what song to sing for finals, better make it spectacular!

Great Game, Wonderful Outing!

Hallelujah! My church just had the best paintball game with one another ever! 60 of us including our friends participated, this was really a massive game. It was so exciting to see different teams playing with different strategies. I am very happy that this event has been very successful too. Thanks to everyone's effort of inviting their friends along, and of course the support from my church including our pastors. It was really wonderful to be able to get along with one another for this enjoyable time. I am still waiting for pictures from the cameramen/woman. Haha, all I can show you guys for now is this unforgettable wound that I got from this game. This is the worst out of the 9 bruises that I have, but I am sure it will be fine in a week time! ;-) I guess I was one of the main targets for most opponents, because I was wearing a bright colored T-shirt... as a consequence of not having my dark colored long-sleeved Ts in Pg. Kinda scary to be targetted by 3 opponents at the same time. Nevertheless, it is still a GREAT game! Praise God for this event!
