// feeling :: great!
// prayer for :: hehz, Sis Cat.

Today is Sis Cat's birthday!! I came from school so I was wearin my sch u all the way. Anyway I managed to get somewhere after so long on my art. Hehz. I gave myself a target to finish up a particular part before I could go off to meet Belle and Mike.

They wanted to use my kitchen to cook Mike's supposedly "calamari rings", which turned out to be seafood rings! He smoked up the whole kitchen, and being a cooking noob, I forgot to close off the kitchen from the rest of the hse. Soooooo. The whole house got smoked up.

Belle and I used books, trying to fan the smoke out hahahahahah! It was so funny! We werent any help so we just let the electric fan do the work for us while we watched tv. In the end all of us smelled like smoke.

Bro Alvin came with a few of W229 members for some tuition, so the "unneeded" ones confined ourselves into my room. We played Monopoly, but it wasnt any fun without any shouting or what. I was uncomfortable sitting on my bed anyway. Haha.

The rest came soon after, and we did up Sis Cat's birthday present: a board with all our birthday wishes for her. Its so nice! I like it hehez.

First we had a Study Skills session, about how to deal with english essays and how to score for them. They are SO practical. Really. I can really use those for my english essays.

Speaking of essays, I got back most of my prelim papers. Dont ask about my results =/

Then we had fun and games. It was this unity game that required us to work together as a team in order to emerge as first and win. Our hands were tangled up and we just had ta untangle them and stand in a straight clean row. Our team didnt win in the end. Awww...But It was really very fun. One of the most fun games I ever played.

After that was P&W with Sis Cat and the Word with Brother Alvin. It was about our love language:

1. Words of affirmation aka words of encouragement
2. Quality time not quantity time!
3. Gift-giving
4. Physical touch like hugging

It made me ponder about how true my love for others is. Do I do these things? Or do I just love them without actions, thinking its alright?

Actually, these few days actually made me very aware about my own flaws. And I dont like them :( well, who does?

I always think of myself as more inferior than other ppl. My parents never really taught me on how to love myself and stuff like that. I had to learn it through church and friends. Sometimes I make the wrong type of friends, and everything would go downhill from there.

But I am glad I realized them now. Better late than never, huh? lol.

I'm embarrassed about my blog. Not its layout or what, just the happenings. I'm still contemplating if I should put up the tagboard again. See how.

Its midnight...

Happy Birthday,

YiSheng!
