rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

HOHOHO! i'm finally back again! heehee yeah, i was too lazy to post up effie's commencement and grad pictures lately so that's why it's like, more than 2 weeks late #_# sorry! plus, i was actually experimenting with photoshop for those pictures that's why *ahhhhhh* haha! anyways! a little update before i move on with the pictures, (which i'm sure u've all been waiting anxiously to see!) WORK'S OVER!!!! at least the fulltime part is! i'll be returning next monday to help out after school...and i told them some other day next week but now i'm not sure...we'll see :D but hey that's not the point! WORK'S OVER MAN!!!! i'm so happy i don't have to go there at 830 everyday and dread the minutes as they pass anymore! and i get to go home WAAAAAAAY earlier! i can't describe the feeling of being able to reach home b4 6pm and just hang...sit here at my laptop with eggie sleeping next to me :D slacking off...and u know what? I CAN OFFICIALLY START COUNTING DOWN TO JAPAN NOW!!! (coz it really is coming close!) so...
14 MORE DAYS GUYS!!! (including today)
japanese classes started yesterday and even though i'm waking up even earlier now than if i have to work, school just makes me WANT to wake up u know what i mean? heehee! and that's a pretty big power if u ask me! :D i've been having so much fun just learning basic manners in japan and their cultures, what to say under what circumstances...it's great! and listening to japanese for 4 hours nonstop is somehow really soothing to me *haha* i mean, i don't exactly understand every single word she said but i usually get the gist of it...like i could probably understand like 3/4 of what she says anyways :D and yukari sensei's such an awesome teacher! she seriously goes out all the way to help us...and now that we're learning about the japanese cultures, she goes into details (like drawing out pictures of the ofurou in japan! haha!) and really shows us whatever she knows, i'm so glad she's our teacher for this trip! ^-^ really hope she'll be my teacher in 401 and 402, even if it's 2 years away!
heehee i've been making lots of lists lately: stuff to pack, stuff to buy before i go there, stuff to buy there, ppl to buy stuff for! haha! i guess i am really starting to get hyped up for japan! hopefully it'll be a great trip and my host family will be nice :D OH! and that they'll have a kid my age! and i really hope i'll get to know the ppl going for this trip better too! it's pretty cool so far ^-^
anyways! back to effie's grad again! it was fun dressing up and stuff before it began, started off at kristi's house (where i left like, a billion stuff there -_-") then moo drove us all to legislature where effie met up with her sch friends and we took pictures :D then it was off to sawmill! THE FOOD WAS AWESOME! and buffet too? like seriously man, it was so value for $$$! i think i took too much though *hee* sorry la, singaporean mah...LOL! but i didn't really left too much uneaten la...except i was so full i thought my dress was gonna rip! @.@ heehee! after that was the dance :D it was so crazy *haha!* coz jon, brian and i were out there going all out and doing all sorts of weird stuff on the dance floor, so hilarious! well...the dj wasn't exactly playing songs that we knew so we were just making up stupid little moves LOL! only thing was, my dress was too long so i kept almost tripping over myself! @.@ (ok if u wanna phrase it the other way, i was too short for my dress! haha! but hey it was 50bucks man! worth every single bit of it!) but yeah i had a great time :D wanna do something like this again *heehee!* we left around 1030 afterwards and went over to moo's house for our own little aftergrad *haha* (more like a drink-and-play-truth-or-dare thingy!) but yes, we drunk stuff...not very alcholic actually, but considering how we all aren't really drinkers...haha! cece got drunk after her first bottle and it was so cute!! she kept giggling to herself LOL! and amanda got really red too...then when ce, amanda and brian left, it was left me, effie, jon, wellson and david (who came out only after a bit) and *haha* that's when almost all the beans was split...we drank a lot more after they left and secrets started to get busted *haha* very interesting stuff though, i'd say! i guess after i got drunk we kinda decided to leave...i mean, i wasn't really really drunk coz i could still think straight and stuff hey? but i just couldn't walk straight and i felt like laughing at everything even though it wasn't funny LOL! but anyways, moo drove me and effie home after (he didn't drink at all coz he was sleeping! good moo!) and it was like, 3+ (freaky it was a good thing we called our parents to tell them way beforehand!) but yeah...it was a very interesting night :D anyways, so here are some of our pics! enjoy! :D
