woah it's been quite some time since i've posted a proper post.
feeling kinda out of touch here.
i miss you anneri.blogspot!

anyway,
life's been pretty great so far.
with an overflowing of grace and love from God.
it's like receiving one blessing after another.
i can't stop thanking Him. (:

hmmm. updates!
if anyone's still reading this.

FIRSTLY,
it's been nearly three months since my first day as an intern in the curatorial and collections department of the singapore art museum!
(phew long sentence)
cool right?
i also think it's cool.
i'm helping out my boss (fellow Jay fan woohoo!) with this thingy called SGCOOL (Singapore Collections Online) & IMCMS (whatever that stands for).
i'm learning, but not that much anyway.
so i don't really feel that my pay's justified.
sorry i'm still feeling sore about it but there's nothing i can do.
i'll still continue to give thanks. (:
on the flipside, at least i get to do/see things i usually don't.
er.. like, meeting victor tan and getting to talk to him about his artworks?

SECONDLY,
i miss s15!
i still think it's really funny how my class bonded only after the farewell assembly. -.-
despite all our diverse personalities and the different little cliques.
still remember how i spent part of J1 wishing i was back at s14.
but now when i look back, i really thank God for blessing me with a happy and happening s15 and a couple of wonderful friends whose friendship i know i'll keep for life.



















THIRDLY,
i've gotten a new saxophone recently and i'm having lessons every week!
dad paid for the instrument.
haha if i'd to pay for it myself, it'd have been equivalent to SIX MONTHS of my pay.
but i reallyreally love it.
something i call my own.
i always get scolded for not practising enough.
my fault indeed; i shall aim to reach home earlier and practise more often.
and i'm loving my tone. (:

FOURTHLY,
i'm on my way to become an NTU student.
praise the Lord! (:
those who knew what was going on would know what a risk i took and how worried i was about horrible things that might have had happened.
like portfolio CD malfunctioning in the professors' comps or me kena knocked down by car on fac test day.
even i kinda regretted that little risk taken and wished i had a backup plan.
but all's well in the end.
and nothing (i mean, NOTHING) can express the joy, relief and gratitude (towards Him) in me.


















FIFTHLY,
i just turned 19 last wednesday!
i had a really fab birthday, thanks to alot of great people.
the day before my birthday (29th april) was the BEST day of the year.
work that day was super fun cos i helped out with the giacometti exhibition. plus i had the cheapest, fullest and longest lunchbreak that day thanks to ducky's sakae sushi treat and bnj's free cone day. and i also met up with my two favourite people and almost died laughing that night! it was also that night when i received THE confirmation letter.
it was the happiest day i had in a long long time. (:
thanks to all who remembered!

so many ups and downs this year.
not that the past years didn't have any.
they did, just that the ones this year were very different.
regarding friendships/love,
i've lost some, gained some, and maintained some.
but i'm awfully thankful for those who stuck by me through thick and thin, gave me such great advice and brought me so much joy and laughter.
you guys know who you are. (er... i hope?)
quoting esther, i'm a blessed girl indeed. (:


there she goes
