That reminds me of my Primary 4 teacher Ms Jennifer Soon who always started with “first things first”.
Anywoots, first things first.
TP HOCKEY GIRLS FINALLY WON A FREAKING MEDAL FOR FREAKING TP.
Hope they’ll shove it to the management asses and let us have the hockey pitch equipped with floodlights. ;P
It was a bittersweet victory especially for the seniors who worked real hard for 3 years and finally a medal!

You know, sometimes I’d laugh at how sometimes we swore not do something ever again. But in the end, we’d let our guards down and we’re back to where we were.
And how sometimes, we’d settle for the second best because we don’t have enough faith to trust God for the bestest.
Weird huh.
Oh well,
Life’s always like that. Nobody ever gets out of it alive.
So just take it easy. Here’s Lyndel learning some life lessons. It’s never too good thinking too much. The more you know, the more you realise you don’t know. So might as well not know so much so I won’t know how much I don’t know.
On Wednesday, went to attend a Drum Clinic by this INSANE drummer called Kozo Suganuma aka Te-ka-zoh at Ngee Ann Auditorium with Joshua and another drum instructor called Thomas.
MAN! That guy is insane. His strokes are zoom zoom zoom. He’s so fast! It’s insane. Looking at the drums brochures makes me salivate. So delicious!
And the way he played the electronic drum looks so delicious too! The sound that it made was pretty real.
The DTXEXPLORER series removes my doubts and disapproval about electronic drums. I mean, there’s this feature where you can play the bass part only to play along with the songs in a virtual session. So you can just plug in your Ipod and play your favourite song!!
It’s OOOH SOME! i tell you!!!!!!!
*you know what you can get me for christmas* *wink wink*
And of course the acoustic All Birch Shell.
That’s Raspberry Metallic. OHHHHH. even the word ”Raspberry” makes me oooz. Look how sexy that mate is. Wait till I get my sexy sticks and feet all over you darling!

On another note, been watching the Hockey POLITE the past 2 weeks. As usual the guys’ games is more exciting than the girls’. My heart fell with them for that LAST minute goal by SP. They could have owned that last match that could get them a medal.
But I must hand it to the guys, they played well and fought hard.
GAH! I miss hitting and scoring.
TRAINING!! Now that I’m craving for one, the coach is not around.
Did I mention I miss getting bruises on my shin and everywhere else I never realised I got bumped.
I miss waking up the next day admiring the beautiful blue-black oocheh and the sensation I get when I rub them. NICE!
;p
And I shall mention about the ABN AMRO Hockey Champions Trophy. Anybody interested to travel to Melbourne airtix + game tix at less than S$700. Dec 1-Dec 7. MESSAGE ME AS SOON AS YOU SEE THIS!!
1. Lyndiejo has been pre-occupied with quite a few things lately. Stuff that she is supposed to be working on but due to distractions, she has not the motivation to start working on them.
Well, my week has been great. Thank God!
2. Went fishing today at Kallang in the evening and I was having a conversation with someone who married his girlfriend after 10 years. One thing that struck me most is his stress in saying, “Relationship really NEED effort. Marrying too early is not very good. And one thing about being together for so long is actually a test whether you can take it or not”.
This was something I was pondering a little yesterday when I overheard two men discussing about annulment. The Guy A separated from his wife before 3 years and informed his friend that it is not called a ‘divorce’ rather it is ‘annulment’. Guy B had a divorce and swore off ever getting married again.
It got me thinking how relationships are such weirdo stuff. People get intoxicated in the initial stage with all these lovey dovey crap. And when the crap is out, uh-oh Danger! Danger! *blinking in bright red light* Houston, we got a problem. Abandon ship!!
This is really something to consider when one embarks on one.
Ohoh!
And one thing I’m gonna swear I’ll change about myself is to stop thinking too much and just go with the flow!
So just take that I didn’t just write an entry about annulment and divorce. Cos I swore not to think too much. ;P
Anyho anyho!
3. On my way back yesterday from WWW, I felt this little smile coming up on my face. I wanted to run and skip. And do the jump and the two feet tap each other. Teehee.
I think I wanna be a dancer.
4. I’m so going to take up diving in the next 2 years. I want to indulge in water sports. Can’t believe I am missing out on the fun stuff in the water. I just discovered, I love water! haha.
This coming week’s I am going to be pretty occupied again with stuff to do.
5. GAH! I need to improve on my drums drums drums!! I hate it when I keep playing the same beat and the same fill ins. It has been 3 months I have yet to move to another Grade!!! PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE. I wanna be the next Cindy Blackman.
Pretty noisy but she’s insane!
Okay! That’s my diarrhea in my fingers. LALALALALALALALALA!!
1. The wonderful weather in the morning where I rolled out of bed to a nice cooling Friday.
2. Sam whom I can hang out with when I’m bored to tears. Thanks Sam for enduring my agonizing rants and “I miss you-know-who”. And talking on the phone and making me laugh with your antics. you know I hearts you very much despite my sarcasm yes? What’s better way to show endearment than a little teasing rite? =D
3. The awesome people at Macgyver Consultants during the BE Global Conference. Working from 7.30-6 was a breeze when you’re with nice understanding people.
4. Simple things that gets me excited and laugh.
`I want to be someone who can make people laugh and make them feel genuinely appreciated.
Although it was a short time, it felt like I have been away for ages.
The past three days got me thinking about putting my life in God’s hands. On the first day, we went to the theme park with all the roller coasters and stuff that brings your heart to your mouth.
Riding on a roller coaster is the same as living your life by faith. We know these rides are not going to be smooth. There’s going to be bumps along the way. There will be times when you are high and times when you are down. And sometimes, in life, it does happen like that. One moment, you are on top of the world, the next day you will be at the lowest pit. It may happen in a snap.
Living a life controlled by God is exciting. If I can be candid about it. At times, we would close our eyes when it plunges down. It is never easy living by faith. It is never easy taking that first step to sit on that roller coaster. We hold on tight. We close our eyes. We shout, we scream.
We know we are secure in the rides, seat belts, double seat belts, but we are still fearful. Likewise, God is our safety belt. He’ll never let us go through it without the safety belts. He even installed double seat belts to ease our minds. But we still worry that things may not go according to plan.
But you know what, at the end of the ride, everything turns out well. You had fun. You experienced it. The adrenaline rush. The fear. The euphoria.
I know this period of inertia for me is sort of like the part where the roller coaster starts. Slow and uncertain. I started from the low point and I am at the period of going up…slowly.
Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren’t as good, but easy.
So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
1. My little brother who willingly agreed to spend a late afternoon by the beach with his dear sister. It came to my realisation that he is growing up so fast. I’m afraid by the time I take notice of him, his voice will be broken, he’ll have mustache and all that. But I really Thank God for that time I spent with my little brother. Just him and I. I believe these moments will be etched in his mind as he grows up. I would really want to be a wonderful sister to him. Someone whom he can go to when he has problems.
2. This wonderful break that I am having now. I believe I am going through a season. A time of testing. I pray that at the end of this metamorphosis, I’ll be more grounded with my values and convictions.
3. The wonderful weather in the morning when it rains and I can roll out of bed late.
4. Surrounding me with people today. Cos I really hate being alone now.
I know life is worth living with such a God by my side.
As she looks out of her window, the engine from the cars and children’s voices at the playground made up a rather melancholic Friday afternoon. The sun’s intense brightness hurt her eyes and she put the blinds back. Chinese oldies from the radio being played by the shophouse was the maestro among the nuances of noise. It gave a lazy, relaxing feel.
She could not help but thank God for today. A nice relaxing day in her own room, sitting by her best companion,
oops!
she can’t continue this dramatic novel. cos she need to go out hang with her high school pals
she tells herself, this is the “last time. never again”
but she finds herself forgiving again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again….. yeah you get the drift.
First and foremost, thank you for the birthday wishes. thankyou thankyou.
