i've been places, and i've done things. some i'm proud of, some i wish could be undone. but all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His will (Romans 8:28) and i know He's takin' me places.
PEEKABOO! and "lobster" is my new middle name. isn't it cool how we can keep changing our middle names? Grace Lobster Ke Xiao'en. TOTALLY unglam. but its okay, i got my tan! so that makes up for all the heinous name-calling :) yesterday's sentosa-ing has left me red as an over boiled lobster, with bloodshot eyes to boot. i sound like some psychopathic murderer from a scene out of some freakish sci-fi geek movie. oh well, i did want the tan..
2nd July was well spent (not academically, but well.) lots of chaos in the morning but the beach made up for it. my girls disappeared at the beach and left me to tan with dawnsy while they ran off digging (ugh.) holes and throwing people into the sea. i wonder where they get all that energy from. anyway, dawn and i tanned a little until some bengs nearby shouted "eh, baywatch". MORONS. so i grabbed dawn and we fled the scene of the bengs under the pretense that we've had enough sun.
so.. we volley balled, found a free volleyball, swam, got whistled at by the lifeguards for swimming to far off boundaries, flipped, fell, got hit by malls, screamed, tanned, slept, walked around, ate, drank, ogled at hot american guys who look alot like JS and other hot american celebrities rolled into a couple of hot dudes, ate overpriced B&Js, drank overpriced drinks.. ahh... summer bliss.
"we" refers to: me and my girls, jarrold and his boys, dawn and her boy, shenna and her girls and boy, char and ben and their kiddos, gaius and his boy, ian and his boys, ben, aiken, may, mich, hosea.. i think that's all of us, i'm not sure, there were about 40 of us?
bathing took about an hour cos of the hideously long toilet queues.. so dawn and i (due to our claustrophobic tendencies) bathed in the open then changed in the tiny, under-lighted cubicles. eek. but the cold water never felt so good! shiok ah! but there were massive women in too little triangular cloths called bikinis. (not like i have alot to show, but please la!) it was kinda disturbing so. ya. um. moving on..
we headed to vivo.. initially to hang out in a small bunch but met with isaac and the bunch of people, so there were alot of us.. dinner was Carl's JR. the perfect way to break fast. isaac and chuan were like "how the heck is grace going to finish her food?" but i got smart and ate fish and chips instead of a burger. the burgers were monstrously huge. really. and anyway, i almost finished my meal, save for some fries. so i'm doing good and SO NOT aneroxic. puh-lease.
colin and i had great nostalgic moments at the spot-the-difference machine at the lousy arcade with no motorcycle-games :) so fun la! we got really stressed and i was shrieking. alot of other churchies came to see what the commotion was about and they got hooked too. addictive eh? i love it la!
cabbed home and died on my bed :) a good day normally leaves me spent. and my day ended on quite a happy note too.
BUT terror, i woke up late today. haha. daddy was screaming for me to get up, and i'm like, shit it's 6.40 already? rushed to school in daddy's car for a slacker day in school. so wasted la. i should've stayed home and slept.
i'm hungry and sleepy and the weather sucks. hibernation for my right now.. but then there's that stupid debate to prepare for, plus all the studying and homeworks.. dang!
STUDY ON THURSDAY IN CHURCH OK STUDY PEOPLE? i love you! (you know who you guys are)
