Girl says Frog

Kids are just so innocent =D

Preparation for nx year

2009 was... a year of many changes! To me lah :D I dislike summarising a whole year's happening coz' it's impossible to fit everything in a page, just the important ones :

• My sista went to UK for studies (prepared my heart long time ago)


• Mr.Ghalib transferred to another school, best BM teacher (was, now)


• Jenning (my male best friend / my brain) transferred to CHS, shockingly.


• 3 new science subjects and Additional Maths in f4, struggling.


• Some relationships with people I knew were drawn closer / further

Everyone dislikes changes :) It takes pretty long time to adjust. Since kakak tua saya kat UK belajar hehe, I learnt much this year how to make my own decisions too- what shirt to wear, what shoe to buy, what haircut to cut, what colour to pick, what food to eat, what to do, what not to do bla bla, just like The Road Not Taken. Jie, you spoilt me alot hee nyahahaha :D But, still sometimes I'll ask Derrick for his opinion ;) Poor kid! (Esther, u'll know the feeling hehe)

So next year,
I'm gona be officially a 2010 SPM candidate soon!

My focus should be on God now, how to enjoy and be useful to God in my single hood, counted already, I may get married in 10 years time =D Anyway, I cut my hair today. No need to tie my hair AT ALL to school! =D I look like standard 2 now :) Goodbye long hair~

Can't do this for drama next year :)

It is You, Lord

It is You Lord, who made me
It is You Lord, who knows me by name
It is You Lord, the Redeemer
It is You Lord, the Planner

It is You Lord, my Resting Place
It is You Lord, I place my hopes in
It is You Lord, my Healer
It is You Lord, my Deliverer

My life is completed with You
To be my Life Coach, my Teacher
My life has regain new strength
To magnify Your glorious name

I believe in You, Lord
I hear You comforting me in my prayers
I am thankful that You always be my listening ear
I believe in You, Lord
You will take away my anxiety
You bring me through the darkest valley
Just as how You promise me.

Romantic

"WHAAT?" I asked my brother. "Do you know what's the meaning of romantic or not leh?"

We were sipping iced Ribena after dinner... Yea dadee, no cold water after dinner, indigestion, but it's not like he's gonna read this nyahahaha... once in a blue moon.

Then Derrick took another gulp and went, "Ahhh~ this is romantic~!".
(This is where I came in...)

Daphne : Romantic is when you are spending time with your loved one and only one.

Derrick : I know.

Daphne : Abuthen?! (maybe he meant me hee hee!)

Derrick : This is romantic coz I'm with my Ribena! (not you!)

This kid really knows how to talk!

Change of weapon

The Lord is my shepherd
He gives me everything that I need
He lets me lie down in fields of green grass
He leads me beside quiet waters
He gives me new strength
He guides me to the right path for the honour of His name.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid.
You are with me.
Your shepherd's rod and staff comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me in front of my enemies.
You pour oil on my head.
My cup runs over.
I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will live in the house of the Lord,
forever.

Psalm 23 I like!

Brr..... I never felt so pressured in my entire holidays before... This is will be my first and the last... In my prayers, God kept telling me,

" Tekh! Wrong weapon, wrong plan, wrong move!"

What went wrong? But I got it figured out. I'm using my own strength- a very useless weapon. God gave me His secret weapon- "depand on Me" God says, yet I declined subconsciously. Ok, right now, not much time left, dump my old weapon and use God's given weapon.

War time!

Morning Coffee

... Yuck man!

No hot water, no tea.

Lazy.

So the coffee made by my daddy.

Dreading myself to deep the "yao zha guai" into that thick black coffee, I had to force it down my pathetic throat. All I tasted was just bitter, bitter and more acid in my stomach.

No more coffee Daphne!

Nose bleed this morning too =(

Memory verse

Ecclesiastes 11:5

You don't know the path the wind takes. You don't know how a baby is formed inside a mother's womb. So, you can't understand how God works either. God made everything.

Ah finalleee~

I got my dreams! Yeah, dreams! I dreamt of it TWO times. It's kinda' ridiculous and nerdy to dream of...

TWICE!!

So buddies (u know who u are), Yuha (haha!) you can stop thinking of buying me a Stabilo set for me anymore :D

After the THREE long hours of Physic and Chemistry tuition EVERYDAY from 9am-12pm

shopping will help me to distress!

But, today's shopping was stressful...

My favourite shops weren't selling my favourites!

Gota' shop again in December.

Mum : " Wana shop? Eat more at home! "
Had Tai Ping Lang today for dinner.

Satisfied.

Bought a mother-daughter tank top too ;)

PS : I'm using your bed sheet and curtains now jie haha

Room looks sweeter :)

...coz' of laziness...

" Daphne, I think you're very lazy," Ma said to me today. She said very, why don't I get at least a quite...

Technically, I am lazy for now. After another hard year of school, I think I can be lazy for once. Anyway, I tried to finish up my f4 syllabus though. Physics, for example, but the temptation to watch Terminator again was overwhelming hehe...

Anyway, I did a few relaxing stuffs today coz' of laziness in studying. Blogging now... I :

• watched Terminator I and III (counted as relaxing?)
• baked again, this time, hehe... guess...?? did some hand-made bday cards for my bday friendies too :D

Oh yah, big fat Happy Birthday super duper to all my November Friendies :)

(If you're reading this...)

Angel Ooh~ Doreen Kwan~ Vivian Kwan~ (their sistas!) Sarah Chow~ and Auntie Rhema~!

Lastly, the big surprise! The MYFers celebrated a SURPRISE party at Shabu-Shabu for the Nov babies :) Too busy eating and grabbing whatever that came across our table =D But, we do camwore a little... Hehehe... More photos coming up from Angel's camera at FB.

That is all I need

Bee-zee holiday ppl! I'm not gona list down the thingss I gota' do, it'll haunt me whenever i read my blog. SO, after a looong deep breath, I sat down on my bed. Thinking of what to do, I flipped open "1o KEYS TO 10 A s- The Psychology of Top Achievers by HELP College". Interesting... Chapter 1- Am I a thermostat or a thermometer? 5 Tips on How to be Self-motivated Person, Develop Goals in Life etc. Hmm, closed the book, closed my eyes and crossed my hands to pray.

With a heavy head, it is not possible for me to think of something relaxing and beautiful. But then, a beautiful picture had came painting in my head. Marvelling at it, I saw Him in pure white cloth, as bright as the morning sunshine. He sat down, crossed legs on a kopitiam chair (oh yeah? Yeah), marble table. Resting His head on His left hand (He was facing at me), He looked at me with a smile, just a simple yet an assuring one. Inside me, I knew He was ready to be a listening ear. The air was calm, gentle and cooling with a little breeze. This is gona sound weird, but He plucked an apple for me to eat! Reddish-yellowish. Chill, I'm not in Snow White's position.

After the whole chat with God, I was ready again with new hope, and new strength! God has promised me to be my BFF, He was just reminding me again with His gracious smile. He always keeps His promise, never will He break. I know, I trust Him, that is all I need :)

Bro-No

At the end of this post, u'll know what Bro-No means lah hehe.

I love to play Uno card game. Playing Uno cards in school was, fun. Skip the loosing part. No joke, but I've never won Uno in my entire life before! Consider me the blurrest among all my friends, I wasn't paying much of attention where they cheated me many times (haha!) by switching power cards with the deck! Grr...ram! Coz' I was about to win, obviously, they WON'T allow it to happen! "Pakatan" la you all :D

Even at home! I tried to play with Derrick the Uno card game. Thinking of winning over the small guy, I actually lost to him, three games in a row!! He got me into a Draw-Twelve stage too!! Malunye!! This genius here, kecik-kecik cili padi. After playing Uno, we played Speed with the Uno cards (new game I've learnt from Yuha hehe).

Then, here comes the heart-to-heart talking. This is for you too, Esther ;)
We were playing this "Guess-what-Esther-is-doing-now" game (gahaha). She:

• Just got back home from work, talking to daddy and mummy about work
• Sits down and rumble with Derrick "Oh I'm gonna miss you! I'm gona miss you" (Before she left for UK)
• Asks "What's on the TV programe now?"
• Goes to the bathroom with the familiar door sound "Boom!" and "clicks" (haha!)
• Occupies the whole computer doing her kononnye assignment

But, not all are suppose to be disclose in my blog (only the siblings knew EVERYTHING nyahahaha). Then we came to a part where Derrick started saying he feels left out everytime in the car when me and Esther do all the talking. So, we better care for his feeling when you get back hehe.

So what's Bro-No?
It's not an Anti-Brothers blog post. It's a combination of Brother and Uno. Uno means One. I have only One brother, and One sister. And I love them very much ;)

You Never Change

Things have changed,
But God You never change.
Your love brings hope everyday.
Worry not, neither fear more,
Coz' God You are my rock for me to be strong.

Blessed is the man who always comes to the Lord
God's wisdom, power and His amazing ways will be shown
You will see a whole new life when Jesus' in You
Coz' God You are my wonderful strength~

Psalm 62:5

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.

:)

Two From Galilee

I went for the preview of Two From Galilee (TFG) yesterday! It's a wonderful musical production (with lotsa singing and drama, more on singing, duh musical...hehe) from The Canticle Singers (TCS). It's about from how Mary got engaged with Joseph, the carpenter, their love life that is under God's guiding hand, to the day where Jesus was born! The settings were fantastic and interesting! Each scene has different colour and taste of its own.



The three wise men were the funniest of all hee :D

Then this is the scene where the virgin Mary heard the message from God that she will bear a child by God's grace. It shows how God is so powerful and in control of everything.

If you haven't been to a play, then this is a must! =D Tickets are at RM38 and RM58.

They have 8 shows:

Tonight (23/10) 8.30pm

Saturday (24/10) 3pm and 8.30pm

Sunday (25/10) 3pm

Friday (30/10) 8.30pm

Saturday (31/10) 3pm and 8.30pm

Sunday (1/11) 8.30pm

Strong and beautiful

Before my finals, I was all stressed up to finish my f4 syllabus
During my finals, I was struggling to digest everything that I've studied.
After my finals, I am so lay back with everything. It's done!

But no!

My Quiet Time momentum with God is gradually decreasing. I've tried so hard to regain my momentum as I've used to experience the joy and peace without any distractions in my QT. Pfft, I've tried really so hard. It's totally unbearable. With quiet environment, I'd get distracted easily in my own world. So I flipped back the pages of Our Daily Journey, and found this title- Strong and Beautiful.

A Douglas fir tree has the quality of being strong and beautiful. But where does it get its beauty and strength? From its roots! The branches bear its fruit by drawing water and nutrients from the vine. "Jesus made the point that the secret to bearing fruit doesn't lie in the strength of our determination, but in our being grafted into the Source of life," by Poh Fang Chia.

In John 15:7, Jesus gives us this promise: "If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!" It is also not an open invitation to pursuit our own interest and selfish desires. But, it presents the truth that when we pray we draw from God the needed resources to produce- writer PFC.

I told Derrick that maybe I need to spend my QT in a not-so-quiet environment, like turning the radio on! In that way, I won't get easily distracted (Since I'm so used to study in a noisy environment). He answered me that 'Jesus wouldn't be happy! I should shut and locked the door when I do my QT.' True. But then I told him that what if I fell asleep? His answer? "Pray to Jesus and ask Him to wake you up laaar..."

You're right bro! I will close my door and do my QT, read the Bible and let the Word remain in me. Maybe, I don't need to try too hard after all.

Happy Birthday YX

Happy Birthday to my bestie, Yung Xin!!

Now we are equal in age, guess no more bullying you anymore. But,

we still have Yuhaaaahahaha~ haha.

Sorry bit retarded for this photo. Our surprise birthday photos for YX is on fb.

Hugs to my bestie, cheers~ :D

Pray specifically!

In short, I did my BM papers today. For paper 2 with all the Rumusan, Komsas, Tatabahasa and Novel, the ink of my new pen had gone down drastically!! So imagine the amount of perkataansss i wrote. Time was short. Before I start my paper 2, I prayed this prayer :

By the way, I was like this snail here today

"Dear Lord, I pray for Your wisdom to be upon me that I'll remember all the things I've studied. Help me to finish in time, so that I can check through."

The good Lord helped me to finish IN TIME. I thought I would have more time, but 5 minutes of speed checking????!?!? Wasn't enough laaa... hehe.

So, when the next paper came, I became smarter in my words.

"Dear Lord, ......... (in my own words) Help me to finish in time, so that I can check through, AND enough time for me to sleep~~ too"

I had extra ONE hour and fifteen minutes to sleep after checking my karangansss hehe :D

Drastic change!

The morning was full of mundane, cold and drowning. I dragged myself and my cousin, Adeline to wake up. Hurrying, we washed up as quickly as possible and off we drove to KLIA ( of course my father was on the wheels lol). It was a day full of Goodbyes to my dearest sister! She's flying off to UK for studies!

In a few hours more, I'll be telling her " Esther, u're flying off in an hour! " In those normal days, we used to laugh about it " Esther, u're flying off, like, in a year! ... then in a month! ... soon, tomorrow! ...now, NOW! " So, not funny at all seeing her walking down the escalator and lift and worse, the train! I can't believe it, she's going away from us NOW and I'll be here, without her ='(. I know, i know, skype, msn, emails, fb ... Don't mention them.

Before we departed from Home

Us :D

We met a couple of friends too lol.

Mom, bro, dad and grandma were watching their precious from here

She's already ahead of the escalator.

Before going in to the bye-bye train.

She was on the phone with us lol.

Off she went!

Phoebe and Woon Han ate their breakfast- homemade muffins and curry puffs with teh tarik by the glass window as we were watching Esther boarding her plane (as if we could haha!). Okie dokie. I'm so gona be Derrick's big sis now to look up to. Esther, we'll be praying for you loads here n missing you loads too~ Gota suck up my tears into my eyeballs (Yuha's line haha), and be prepared for my boot camp of being independent! I love u SESTHER!

Roadtrip and back

Sunburned!!

I'm currently suffering from intense pain on my skin. Face, hands, legs and neck! After a day of roadtrip with the Ooh's n Wee's, happy and contented. Tired but loads of fun =D Since Esther is flying off to UK this week (Ulu Klang? haha), it's our last trip together-gether this year.

I'm feeling just like Lava Girl now.
Ooooo, the pain!

PS- Photos coming up in facebook ;)

Calculator Bingo!

I've found out there's an interesting way to make calculator fun besides calculating numbers, or typing your initial and names on it hehe. Get a few people, 5-8 or 10. By the way, recomended calculator- Scientific calculator. I'm sure everybody has at least one. My friend, "claimed" to have "invented" this game taught us well.

For a start, any > 3 digit numbers will do. 369, for example is the first number you enter. Then we go from anti-clockwise and say a number. Christina says 7, but I don't have 7. So I multiply 7 to 369=2583. My number now is 2583. Next person to say is Yee Ling- "4". Again, I don't have the number!

2583x4=10332 (my number for now)

Yuha's turn- "3" Ah yes! I have 3. So, I minus then. (When you have the number, you minus)

10332-330=10002 (Get it? Cos I have two 3 digit numbers)

Now it's my turn to say "1" and I use 10002-10000=2

It so happened Yung Xin said "2" then I use my answer 2-2=0 and

BINGO!!

Of Blurness

The funny thing about starting school on Tuesday is I ALWAYS packed my bags with Monday schedule! Even my teacher, Pn.Suneeta knew my blur-ness since she, knew me the first day! (not taught me lol). So, better be clear for next week's first day at school-Tuesday.

It's our [student] culture on the first day after the holiday, we talked non-stop! We talked when we're on duty (we're all prefects), we talked during assembly, we talked in class before teacher comes in, we talked when teacher teaches ... Ah yeah, we talked too much and BM teacher called me as her target, again, to answer her question! Guess what, she's our Pengetua! Ehehe... Standing there rooted to the ground, I acted as if I knew what she was talking throughout our Komsas lesson. Pfft, my friends kept telling me the answer to her question but I kept getting confused with SO MANY of THEM!

"Kelas, siapa s'krang sama kategori dengan daphne???"

Obviously, I was the laughing stock again for the whole class.

Love coming back to school, following up with my mates, hearing all sorts of stories, most of it went "Ok lah my holiday..." or just "OK!". Good thing my school is just a walk away and loads of funny and embarrassing moment we've been through. Will blog about my mates soon ;)

Schedules and kidnappers, any resemblance?

I sorted out my September Schedule (again...) and wow, what a relief! Check out the difference.

Month of July+August=Another Deep Breath Schedule

Month of September=Preps For Finals Schedule 2009

Call me a freaaak, but I don't care hehe... There's just so so much much things to do in life. Better start organising my day and days ahead. But now, after Theory Finals and dropping BK, i managed to cut down some activities.

Oh, I ter-forgot to intro my kidnappers.

Partner-in-crime (haha!)

Those meanies kidnapped my camera for a night and perasanly reviewed their identity haha!
