just to rush off a quick post, i'm still itching to do my arty-farty-crafty post but that sadly has been placed on the backburner because yous truly is now

EMPLOYED! hahaha. and the timing is so precisely specific that it's definitely God's hands guiding every moment of my life. and i'm so thankful! cause right as you know, i didnt want to jump into working so soon after the terror of As so turned down tip. didn't want to commit 9-5 for like 6 mths for an office job so there you go, i was happily hobnobbing around for 2 mths, having fun, going out, SUPPORTING THE ECONOMY. come to think of it, i had a job. i was the ECONOMY-SUPPORTER.

woots. and i didnt even need to take econs HAHA :D so yes then after 2 mths of being a sloth and generally abiding to my every whim and fancy, it all kinda got old. and sian. so registered with a few tuition agencies and thank God! the reply was so super fast so now i'm energised and raring to go, having slacked enough and now promptly and meaningfully occupied. yay!! so tuition 5 times a week now and later going down for interview with singapore children's society to help as a volunteer! i hope my schedule can fit their's though )):

so so thankful (: totally needn't have worried haha silly homo sapiens.

anyway! i cant take it i must post something to do with the crafts post, a sneak peek if you wish hahah.



this was totally cut out of paper. and peter callensen is a professional paper-cutter. how cool a profession is that! the intricate and delicate beauty of the entire paper structure is almost like prose shot through the heart to reveal poetry. love it love it. can view more of his works at http://www.petercallesen.com/index.html (:

yayyyy :D :D :D everything's multi-coloured again (:

Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

sorry for the teenage angst haha and thankewyous for caring (:

i'm going to do up a nice arty post soon on the many things that hands, heart and crafts can accomplish! yay! :D

-
i'll put a flower in your hair ((((:

you know i cant decide between a veryvery happy post about how spoiled i am wrt my extended birthday celebrations or a rawrish one because of what im feeling now.

okay i decided to go with the rawrish one cause i need to give words to what im feeling NAO and i dont have all the photos from bday celebs so yes. this is going to be a very linguistically-challenged post so stop here if you cant stand mindless drivel.

eh why you still reading!



you like mindless drivel ah?






dont bluff.






i know you're bluffing. stop it.







okay not funny hahahahhahahahah. that shook me out of my rawrishness abit yay very good HAHAHHAHHAH welldone joanne you are a good self-motivator.

anyway. i think i'm one of those people who totally needs ALONE TIME. me time to MYS EFL. away from every single thing/person. sorry i love everyone alotalotalotalot and i mean it from the bottom of my heart but i think i'm going to totally lose it if i dont get to hermitcrabise myself SOON. even away from my family yes i just want time to MYSELF. to not talk to anyone, ignore smses/calls from my phone/ be SUPER ANTISOCIAL. reminds me of how we were discussing this last yr after - witnessed my total teary breakdown with the too many-commitments-on-my-plate fiasco which seems to repeat itself sporadically.

sorry world i'm just very tired of you.

yay mosaics are so fun! :D i shall do another one soon with more pictures haha cause PEOPLEEE are hoarding photos! haha but not their fault im lazy to bring my camera out. but now! i shall whip out my trusty samsung f480, woohoo i'm no techie but yes my parents surprised me with a new phone! haha cause the old one was really quite cmi even though i refused to part with it for so long. you can go guess what colour it is :D

and these are purity camp's photos! finally the camp cd's out haha. row by row, from left to right:

row 1: grp shot before games, SUPER awkward position balancing on 2 bricks!, posing with the bricks after we completed the bricky game firstttt

row 2: sunflower and i cheering with our grp's signature pose, whole camp shot!, now, this is hard to explain. we were all blindfolded and without communicating, had to find our whole grp and use a rafia string to form designated shapes. so yes david was amusing himself in our circle while we all couldnt see him. TOO BAD NOW WE CAN HAHAHAH.

row 3: sama game making a star i think haha, on stage doing our rendition of 12 days of Christmas!, gift exchange

:D

"you've got to learn to be more impersonal jo. harden your heart or you won't make it. not everyone is a worthy recipient of warmth. dont love too readily"

really? but i like loving people. i like making little things for everybody and seeing when they're truly surprised and happy. but i understand now. there's special love which i'm saving and love to be shared freely. so i love you, with the love of Christ (:

OMG! i feel so dearly blessed (((: went to rj tdy even though it was RAINING and yoggi made me wait at ri for him to open the gate and made me get WET. and we whacked vectors for 2.5h. then 19 BALLOONS flooded the classroom and-

YOGGI: WAHPIANG! you all made me tank for 3 hours doing math la!
YOGGI: you do realise math tuition was supposed to be a scam right. you think i really do 3 qns in 3 hours ah? i was d*** distracted LA!

nette yen bao and yoggi are the love <3 joanne efron FTW and homemade cookiessss :D i'll never ever regret orientation no matter what HAHA REALLY HORH.

and mind cafe surprise too ((: and TOMORROW! and omg ffff scholarship interview and application on fri OMGGXXED and SATURDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :D :D :D :D i refuse to take photos on saturday HAHAHAHA and sundayyy too!! :D

everything happens for a reason. good, bad, a little inbetween. whether we understand why, how, who, what, WHYWHYWHYWHY whether we think we know better or not. we meet for a reason. we know each other for a reason. we live, we love, we cry, we hold each other for just a little more each time. we misread, we fall, we do silly things, we part, only to reunite again if and when we realise friends never do leave each others’ hearts.

it might not really make sense, but the person who can make you the happiest girl in the whole wide world, can also be the one who makes you feel the saddest. What should you do when this happens? Stop letting your feelings take control of you? 

i dont want it to be this way (too?)
