let the good times roll

Joween
25 & dreaming.

//carpe diem//

better known as joweeeeen. your typical singapore girl. searching for happiness. quite a sentimental person who appreciates cards and letters a lot. crazy at times and pretty emotional. has a contagious laughter and a twin too. older every 21 march. insecure, annoying and always overthinking. shy and quiet, or outgoing and loud. afraid to trust, but dare to dream. loves long hugs, heart to heart talks, sincere text messages and reading handwritten cards. imagining things that will never happen. always setting high hopes and getting disappointed in the end. figuring life out every single day.

9 June 2013, the best day of my life. Live like Jesus, live with Jesus and live for Jesus.
"For nothing is impossible with God."-Luke1:37♥

SAD
Saturday, 26 April 2014 || 10:27 am

From the title, you might think I'm sad or whatever but no hahaha. SAD stands for Sisters Appreciation Day, which happened last night, 25/4/14. :-) probably the best friday night in the month of April YAY! :)

School before church was pretty long and boring and tiring as it ended at like what, 4.40. And yeah we were super early, got starbucks and met Tricia for dinner first.

Well basically yeah all the brothers were in the room where we usually have our service while the sisters had to wait outside. That's one pretty obvious point that it's SAD. And the brothers who passed by us were wearing more formal than ever, and all dressed similarly like white shirt and black pants. That's another clue that it's SAD hahaha. So we were in church since 6.45 and we just hung around outside fellowshipping with sisters hahaha.

At like 8 sharp they finally let the sisters enter the room and sure enough, SISTERS APPRECIATION DAY. The song they played (i have no idea what the title is) is super nice and it was awkward walking into the room in my school uniform and school bag hahaha. But seeing the brothers dressed up for the occassion was like WOAH THERE. I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING. HAHAHA. So we sat there until most of the sisters have arrived (well cos all the brothers were already in church like since 6pm or maybe even earlier) hahaha. And yeah the emcees were Duncan and Gabriel so it was SUPER FUNNY with Duncan's very very very lame jokes. He can make a joke out of like anything. A really lame one in fact.

Yeah anyways the first segment was a skit like what will the word be without sisters something like that (HEY THERE) and the actors were Duncan, Jeremy, Jared, Nigel, Davis and Tianyi. Andddddd they acted pretty much a lot of stuffs. Like cards things, and punctuality and many many more. But main thing is, it was super funny and I laughed till my cheekbones hurt.

Second segment was the games. It was like who's that brother kind of thing where first, they showed one part of a brother and we had to guess who they were. IT WAS SUPER FUNNY like the pictures of brothers when they were young. AHAHA. Dylan's picture of probably when he was in preteens and NO ONE guessed that it was him. Neal's flower pose originated all the way from Cambodia (HAHAHAHA). Duncan's priceless picture from India credits to whoever who took the picture IT WAS REALLY FUNNY I'M NOT KIDDING everyone burst into laughters when they showed the picture. Nathan's really really cute picture when he was young. Hahahah. The game pretty well went on like that laughing at super epic photos HAHAHA.

Third segment was the video of the brothers' sharings. SO TOUCHED OK. I mean like woah just hearing what the brothers have to say because they're probably too shy to say it in real life (maybe that's why they made a video) was just aww much. Hahaha. All them sharings so touching and making us smile like omg. Hahaha I dont make sense but sisters you feel me yar. Very touching indeed very touching to have known that you probably have made a difference in someone's life. :)

Afterwards was food, fun and fellowship all the way! There was food. Yes, the brothers actually brought food. [And they didnt eat all] HAHAHA (if you get what i mean), and lots and lots of fun and fellowship! Because of my convo with Nathan on Sunday/Monday I brought my camera along today and it was of good use! Took pictures with random people like "HEY I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU" hahaha. And yeah just more talking and more laughing and more crazy camwhore sessions. (You know, brothers actually camwhore too) hahaha. And we also took a group picture! Woohoo! Super funny cos I asked Jeremy if can take picture, he shook his head but in the end still take hahaha SUPER CUTE OK. And then there's Nathan whose like "eh should we take this group picture" it was the ffl group and me and Joey were.... shocked. Hahaha. Okay just a bit surprised nothing much Nathan hahaha. :) We took half group selfie HAHAHA. andddd after much persuasion, we got Clement to take a picture with us! Didnt really take much pictures in the end though, but many opportunities to come  the night's fellowship was just plain crazy and awesome hahaha. The whole night ended with much laughter, fun and fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters.

TGIF♥ something encouraging to end off the week and kickstart the weekend. Thank you brothers for this wonderful night! Truly, I feel so blessed to be in the teens ministry having great friendships with all of you. Thank you brothers for planning Sisters Appreciation Day for us. It was an awesome friday night. The best midweek of April 2014. Yay! Here's to many more memories to be made in the teens ministry! P.s. pics are on facebook, only added some pictures below hehe ♥


Chingay 2014
Tuesday, 22 April 2014 || 9:22 pm

Okay so this post have been delayed for 2 months and anyways it's a summary of the last three days of my chingay experience //YAY!!//

From 6-8February, we had 3 consecutive days of Chingay. Thursday was rehearsal, Friday Parade 1 and Saturday was Parade 2.

Yup on Thursday after school, 6Feb, had a quick lunch with the clique before jihe-ing. So after jihe, I got my contacts in (YES I MANAGED TO PUT THEM IN) even though the contact lens for my left eye couldn't stick to my eye for a whole 15 minutes!!!!!! We wore house tee #coswecan and our house tee is white so we could wear it for our costume anyway. :D yup we got our makeup done and soon, we were on our way to the F1 pit. So we took photos in the bus like we normally do and when we reached, we took out our costumes and everything and SLACK TIME. LOL I used a bit of time to do my homework. The rest of the time was just camwhore and talk and laugh with fellow dancers YAY! Well at least we attempted to do our homework right. :-) and one super funny thing is while the nanhua dancers are seated then Brenda shouted across the field to Joeyer and talk about some stuffs and Jeremy (who was standing infront) and he told Brenda that one of us mentioned him on twitter (it's Joey actually) so Brenda was shouting across "JOEY WHAT'S THEIR NAME" and Joeyer replied "JOWEEN" and Brenda was like "HUH" cos I think the pronounciation is similar HAHAHA. Yup and Brenda shouted "HE SAY ONE OF YOU MENTION HIM ON TWITTER" LOL and he just stand down there and wave HAHA amd me being a nice person, I replied. Hahha. Anyways I think the rehearsal turned out alright. :D there were people there who watched and filmed us woohoo. (Can go see youtube we are the pegasus and royalties hahaha) yup and after our item was done, we went back to the holding area, got our stuff packed and brisk-walked to the bus bay. Another day of school tomorrow saighzxc.

7Feb, Friday. Had lunch with the clique at 7-11. Actually wanted to get starbucks but we decided otherwise. After jihe I succesfully (YES) got the contacts into my eyes this time I got them in much easier than yesterday and got our makeup and stuffs done. And when we were done, we camwhored doing splits and banjiao stuffs hahaha. Because we had a lot of time!!!!! And today we even spammed with Bryan's phone HAHAHA sorry my friend. Yup and then we were on our way to the F1 pit! Peicai and Balestier hill were already there like they always have been. And yup we did the normal stuff. And camwhore (again) (as always) (uhhuh) (sorry not sorry to the spammed phones) hahaha. We had free time to walk around so we walked around trying to find friends from other contingents to take photos with but couldn't find. Oh well. But we managed to take a picture with Peiciai's xiaoxiao! Hahah he was actually very shy but yup got a photo with him hahaha! So cute you mei you! Then Joeyer and Faith also wanted to a take a picture with Brenda... and Adriel. So Brenda called him over and he pointed to me and said "eh you're Joween right" then after a second he was like "wait you two are the twins" LOLOLOL. Then it was time to jihe. We did the nu li xiao xiao cheer and began putting on our costumes. First parade went well!!! :D yay us! Then after our item, as usual, we chionged to the bus bay anddddd epic ride back!

8Feb, Saturday. Sadly, it is the last day of chingay already. Which means it is our last public performance with CCHYID. :( CRYING. Anyways had lunch at admiralty and we were early so. We went to meet up with Yini Keting and Faith who were at the pet shop at Yishun interchange. I called Faith and her description of the shop was "black" LOL. Yup we spent like 15 minutes there just saying the same thing over and over again "omg so cute" HAHAH. And then we headed to school to jihe. We were early so we just slacked and yeah. :) managed to get those contacts in THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION. Hehe so the makeup session was the funniest of all time! Laughed a lot cos I was putting blusher with Xinru and we were telling the juniors not to go to each other's side HAHAHA and basically I laughed until I (almost) teared hahah. :P it was super funny lah I don't know how to describe. So at around 4.30, we headed to the F1 pit. Oh I'm gonna miss the epic bus rides with dancers♡ at the f1 pit again, we camwhored and slacked around and we were even given time to walk around so we took pictures. With dancers from different contingents like nanhua dancers and even korean dancers! Hehe. And time flew, it was time for the last chingay performance. We put on our costumes and said the nulixiaoxiao cheer and 爱我舞蹈 cheer led by yours truly. ;) and it was performance time. I felt so overwhelmed while performinh because this was our last public performance, our last time performing this item, the last time wearing such huge costumes. After the performance, we kept the costumes in the containers. This is really bidding farewell to our costumes LOL. And all of us dancers we RAN to the bus bay. This time we could run because our bags were light, no more costumes and basically I was laughing and running the whole time. Because Yini was singing "weeeeee are the championssss" while running HAHAHA. And I ask you, how not to laugh at Yini?! And yup soon we were on our way back to school... and Faith cried which almost made me cry. Her cry was super loud I swear and it almost made the people around her cry too. :( it was a quiet bus ride back I guess. And Joeyer said she cried just before the performance.

Sigh. Chingay 2014 have created so many memories for me with my fellow dancers. It's the sec4s last public performance in CCHY ID. I'm gonn miss my lil juniors so much when we step down!!!!♥

努力笑笑aye, 努力笑笑 whoosh!
爱我舞蹈,有我开始!♥

[Too lazy to post the 100000000 pictures taken]


Good friday
Saturday, 19 April 2014 || 3:18 pm

Hello guys! So yesterday (18/4/14) was Dayna's birthday and it was good friday too!! So YAY FOR LONG WEEKEND!!!!! Skipped 3 consecutive friday lessons hahaha.

Short dedication for Daynz:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAYNA my favourite banayna! Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me all these years just dealing with my nonsense and laughter and stuff hehe. So glad we had sleepovers and hangouts a lot these past years and I hope we have more in the future! (Probably after my O's) (and i go rjc) (just kidding). Stay smart and tall and loooooooove camels! Love you to the moon and back!!! ♥♥

And well last year's Good Friday, we had PROJECT ROSE aka BAD which stands for Brothers Appreciation Day HAHAHA I still remember we went to Venessa's house first with Theo and we headed to church early and had our faces painted so we look like tribes hahaha. Gosh I still remember the steps for "to be a man" HAHAHA. It was a really really great friday well firstly because i had fun and secondly it was kinda like an eyeopener cos its the first time we had BAD hahaha. Yay! :)

Got mccafe while the sis got starbucks before we headed to church hahah. BLOOD BROTHER SCREENING. It was my second time watching blood brother. So we brought Faith along and Bantzu brought two friends and Theo brought three friends and Celine brought NINE FRIENDS which was literally her village (eds). Hahaha. Yup we brought Faith around and to the rooftop ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I WENT TO THE ROOFTOP MAN. And yeah we fellowshiped around with a little awkwardness HAHHAHA. Jessie came and she brought friends and there was random Jay hahaha!! Before the movie we watched the director's something and ashort documentary about one of the kids and had one song for worship. Anyway Blood Brother. A movie documentaty about Rocky who moved from America Pittsburgh to Chennai India and basically lived there serving the kids in the HOPE AIDS orphanage which we visited last christmas in HYC. It got a lot of people emotional. It was like a reminder to me of how fragile life is and how useful our lives can be. After watching Blood Brother, I just miss India even more. Yeah afterwards we all fellowshiped around yay. :))) and outside the main hall was super funny because random conversations hahaha.
Joey (to the soccer guys): eh you all sec3 must study hor
Nick:*points to us and give us the number four*
Joey: if sec3 dont study then become like me already
^^ THAT WAS FUNNY OKAY Hahaha
And then there was Nigel getting bored while waiting for his sister HAHAHA.
Went to have dinner with Theo and her friends (Hiroshi, Jonathan, Deborah) and Robbie and Natalie and a guy and supposedly with Celine and her village hahaha what. Hiroshi and Jonathan were super funny LOLOL. I still remember one time we prank call Hiroshi over at Dayna's house and Dayna pretended to be fluffyponies xD and omg Deborah is in Advanced 1 in ballet that is omg omg i cant. Ok yup SUPER HILARIOUS bc of the two guys. We packed our food from KFC (YAY HI FATS) and sat on the floor at the stadium nearby and ate and laughed. Because the FMSS people were prank calling someone which made me laugh like crazy AAAHAHA. Tricia and Crish and Vanessa joined us afterwards. Then we went to some ulu ulu road area and took pictures and said bye to Celine's friends (apparently Celine had left earlier). Yeah and took a picture with Theo and her friends too before heading home!

A great great friday meeting many new friends and getting inspired by Rocky! Sadly, I didn't get to see him in real life in Chennai when he went to Scripture Union because I was sight seeing!!!!!!! Omg. Hahaha.

Hope ya'll had a great Good Friday!
