YAY!!! Holdays are here... who am i kidding. "Its a Study Berak, meaning a break to study" said my English teacher. Gee that souonds so depressing. Thanks to all my wonderful teachers, i have a tonne of homework to do. Especially English and Chemistry. To put the icing on the cake, the year 12 English issues oral is first day back!!! However, i will be having a semi-break at youth camp which is from the 2nd - 4th april!! I'm having high expectations from that. So yeah, thats about all thats happening in this term's holiday. Woo hoo!!

Leaving a Legacy & A letter to a friend.

Today I had the day off, cause we had parent teacher interviews the whole day. So, about that....it went surprisingly well. They said that i was motivated, and was trying hard in my subjects. However, there is always room for improvement, which i absolutely agree on. I could be doing so much better; which i will. One of the things that a teacher said was that i was leaving a legacy behind at school through the things i did, which was really very encouraging. I really do hope that i won't leave the school without being remembered for something. Sometimes we are so busy trying to survive life that we just get through it without leaving our mark. For so many years, I was commonly known at church or school as Daniel & Janice's daughter, or Jonathan's sister. However, when we went back to Malaysia at the start of this year, i was known as Joanne...for being a crazy, weird girl. But who cares!!! I know for a fact that i'm quite odd, & i am proud of it!!! I left my mark......WHAT ABOUT YOU?


TO: JASMINE WUAN

Hey Jas,
Since you wrote something to me on your blog, i thought i'd do the same too. hehe!!! I know that you want to come to Aus, & i can't wait for the day that you and Chris do come to visit me!!! About the question again, i forgot to say that you can count on me too. : ) However, you dont have to share EVERYTHING. Just the major things that you can't do alone. For those major things, i will always be here, even though i'm in a different country. There's the phone, msn, & prayer. So, we will always be connected. : ) Anyways, I just wanted to say that i really miss you & that i can't wait to go back. remember, keep studying hard, & i will do the same too. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Love you lots!!!!

Food Poisoning...


Well, today i had minor food poisoning, which really wasn't pleasant at all, cause i had to keep going to the toilet!!! to make things worse, i was at school most of the time. i had to leave the class so many times to go to the toilet, & by the end of the day, my butt was so soar!!! coincidentally, my mum had food poisoning too. we think that it was because only the 2 of us ate these curry puffs from a restaurant. hence why we got the food poisoning. i am officially sick of curry puffs and the toilet!!! however, i was able to rest for a while when i got back from school today. so, i'm feeling better now. yay!!!

Reminiscing on the past....

This video was taken at YC camp in Malaysia in 2007. Chris and I decided to race drinking our milo with a ridiculously small teaspoon, which was really designed for stirring. lets just say that i lost because i was too busy laughing at the whole process. enjoy the video. to all my dear, dear friends in Malaysia, especially Jas, Chris, Su Yi and Denise, i'll continue to study hard so that i can go back next year to see you!!! I miss you all so, so, so, so much, & i pray that God will keep you healthy and safe, & that he will bless you in every area of your life!!! i love you all so much!!!

Torture!!!


Oh my goodness!!! This morning, i got up at 7:30am to go for FUN RUN that's a fundraiser for Compassion Australia, and the Southern Cross Kids Camp. If it was not for a cause....I WOULD SO NOT HAVE GONE!!! it was a 5km walk/run. i know that 5 km isn't that far for most ppl, but its far for me...I"M SO NOT FIT!!! it took me 39 minutes to finish it. *sigh* so slow!!! thats so disgraceful. so many ppl went to this thing. i think this is the 3rd year i'm going. sadly i'm still as slow as i was 3 yers ago. OH, there was this dude who finished in 17 minutes!!!! how crazy is that?!?!? one old man over 65 yrs old finished it in 26 minutes. man...i feel like a slob. *sniff...sniff...* oh well, i'll get over it. that's going to be my exercise for the next few weeks. hehe...no wonder i'm so slow. moving on, I HAVE A PSYCH AND ENGLISH SAC TOMORROW!!! AHHHHHH!!!! "breathe Joanne, breathe."
