The Bestie


Introducting .........JOANNA YAP HWEE EE!!!!
Who is she???? Ha...my bestie since secondary school. Actually we knew each other in primary school but she keeps insisting we didn't! But I forgive her because I'm pretty used to her left-much-to-be-desired memory! Hahaha

On hindsight, how we became fast friends and eventually best of pals is something quite amazing. We gradually became closer (as friends) and before I know it....zoooommm...its been almost 11 years leh!

We graduated from sec sch, then went on to different JCs and Uni (she did hers overseas @ Melbourne). At first we thought we'll lose touch when we're separated but no leh. But during the period of separation, we totally missed the calling of each other activity! Goodness, during our JC days, we'll talk on the phone like nobody's business. I don't even know how we can have so much to say to each other everyday! Even during our preparations for the 'As'! Ha...sometimes we wondered if we didn't talk to often, maybe we could have done better for our A-levels :)

Throughout the last decade, we hardly quarrelled. Seriously! Now that I think about it, its true. Yes we have our moments of irritation and misunderstandings but we don't stay angry with either one for too long. How blissful right? Maybe married couples or dating ones should consult us on how to keep a friendship going on and on and on....:)

I am thankful for this wonderful friendship. Its priceless. These days, people come and go but to be able to have a friend who truly stands with you through thick and thin is not easy to find. I'm sure Jonana feels the same way too! I know even when we get married and have our own families (IF IF IF), we will still remain besties!















These pictures must be archived! We took this after a LLLllllllllooooooooooooooooooooong time of procrastination! I felt we better capture our 'dates' as often as we can because now that both of us are working, we see each other less. And its so weird to have so little pics of bestie while i have tons of pictures with others! How can right???? Besides we r both foodie, so I should capture some yummy gourmet too! :)

Sitting down in front of the computer and listening to 'All The Earth' for the 10th time. Its Anais's off day and we have been trying to upload our pictures onto Facebook. I've got my Day 1 up but poor Ana, still trying to get hers up! Have been in Cambodia for 5 days and returning to Singapore on thursday. Previously, time seem to snail by but as I browsed through the pictures taken of the past few days, I realised that its not that slow after all. Coming to Cambodia this time was different. Was supposed to lead a team to LIA but ended up not because of lack of preparation time and inadequate response. Anyhow, I just felt I should make a personal trip up to see for myself the work at LIA and sense what God is doing in this land. Prior to the trip, I've been reading about Cambodia's news and they just appear everyday in the papers. Well it can't be more clear than this so I went. Followed Anais as she goes to and fro the b oys' & girls' home to t

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get

Eat....Laugh....Be Merry!

Anais and myself finally satisfied our craving for chilli crab...after 2 weeks! YESSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH.........:) happy happy! Together with Ben, Brian and my sis, we headed to Sembawang to indulge in some seafood delicacies that included huge cereal prawns and stingray. It was also a form of celebration for Anais who graduated not too long ago! You bet we were so stuffed after that! Anais still wanted ice-cream after the meal but we were already max. out in terms of stomach's space and capacity. Yummy food was of course the highlight but what was more memorable was the company. First time hanging out with Ben and Brian and it turned out to be a hilarious time! Good food eaten with 'happening' people makes it even more tasty. I treasured this time of fellowshipping as I got to see a different side of people and getting to know them better. More of such makan sessions is good for bonding! Singaporean leh..:) From left: Ben, Jasmine (sis), me, Anais and Brian Happy we went, tota
