I Still Believe

Cinderella 3 A TWIST IN TIME












Somehow I know I will find a way
To a brighter day in the sun
Somewhere I know that he waits for me
Someday soon he'll see I'm the one

I won't give up on this feeling
And nothing could keep me away

Cause I still believe in destiny
That you and I were meant to be
I still wish on the star as they fall from above
Cause I still believe, believe in love

By Hayden Panettiere (Ending song of Cinderella 3)

Can you hear the Merlion Roar?

Life is never easy... ...
You can't always get what you want... ...
If you want something badly, die trying... ...

Opportunity lies in difficulties?
How true is that?
Does it apply in all cases? Or is there a specific range?

In this society which is, sadly, consumed by materialism, bearable to you?
Am I to blend into the pattern? Or there's a better route?
To enjoy life here when all is nothing but hectic rat race?

I should be grateful and appreciate all I have...
There are zillions of difficult situations...
and countless dilemmas to be in...

And it's just LiF3... ...

Food for Thoughts

Sorry for keeping u waiting......I apologize for my Garfield-like ways. But I think u should feel lucky to have sucha lazee but smart friend! I'm touched that Terence actually is concern about my bl0g. Hmmm...I think he should because he is my inspiration. ( Terence, I hope that u could help me inform Ghee Vui after u hv read this)......

#1: Yummy Sunday

I was touched last Sunday( 6/7/08), for my mom was suddenly enthusiastic in cooking. Perhaps you might say "LOL! What's so surprising of you mom cooking in the kitchen?"

Well, problem is my mom doesn't cook( except for instant noodles or fried eggs). I only her only dish few years back....it was chicken with plum sauce....I guess so. Can't really remember the details or flavours of the dish, because it was really a long time ago.

I really dunno why she suddenly wanted to cook dinner. I didn't ask her for I think
I could have guessed. I'm leaving ti singapore soon. Although it aint that far-away, I'm not quite sure if i will be back that soon. so I think she wanna make it memorable for me! Haa^^

Anyway, she had been busying herself with her cooking. I dare not step into the kitchen because she said she gotta concentrate and all distractions were to be eliminated. So I didn't get to see the process. But alas, miraculously( Yea, that's the perfect word, mind you, she hadn't cook for two decades!), she got things nicely done. I'm proud to say that she had prepared.....erm.....5 dishes and 1 soup!

Dishes: 1) TOfu with Porky ( Hmm....aint that word 'Porky' familiar to Terence?)
2) Chicky Wings ( It's fried, somehow one side of each piece is black)
3) Chopped Sprouts Vege Mix ( Rabbit food)
4) Fried Prawn ( I think thr's actually pork in the fried pieces too)
5) Nestum Buttered Prawn ( I personally like this dish best becoz of its fragrance......i just love butter!)

Soup: Sweet Corn Cream Soup ( When I say 'cream', it's really thick!)

Of course, I enjoyed the meal.....oops, forgot to mention that the rice is actually butter rice! Mom asked me to rate and I gave her full marks. Though dad actually pointed out her mistakes in every single dish! Reason is this is the 1st time in my life having my mom cook a proper dinner. I will be satisfied even if the pork is raw!

The First Step

To take the first step

Is a frightening thing.

To face the unknown

The uncertainty brings.

But like a child

Who is tired of crawling,

The first step sure is

The most important of all.



It expands your horizons,

You can see a new light.

The joy of discovery

Is like taking flight.

The first step you take

Will open all doors,

To see yourself as

You've Never seen yOu before.



And, like a child

Who gives it his all,

Sometimes he falters,

He will teeter and fAll.

But strong arms are there

To catch him and then,

They stand him back up

To start walking again.



The longest journey,

Takes one step at a time,

But once you get going

You'll do just fine.

Take my hand, friend

I'll help you along

I'll be right beside you...

Farewell with IS Science Department

Me, Ms Joanna( white tee), Ms Michelle

I'm leaving IS soon. Having been working here as a temporary lab asst for a few months, I got to know my lecturers more. Mdm Emily is very nice to everybody and always take care of her colleagues. Mr Chok is kind to me and he is always free to teach me stuff. Ahh...........too much to describe.


But Mdm Emily is so generous that she foot the bill for my farewell cum Mr Chok's Father's Day!!!

Venue: Sechuan Restaurant KK

Finally................................HOORAY!!!

Believe it or Not! I got the ASEAN Undergraduate Scholarship!!!

I am so damn lucky,

Just like what my Dad said,

' I have FAITH in you,

for you are a lucky person.

Be patience,

you will get it!'

I still remember,

that I don't have the confidence.

While the others kept telling me

that

I'm the one.

I did feel frustrated

because my letter of offer was late.

I was beyond worried,

my innerself enveloped by apprehension.

I couldn't 'Rest in Peace'

for I'm being asked,

the same single question everyday,

' Have you get it?'

Things get bitter

when I'm under pressure.

Can't they stop asking me,

the very question that drive me mad?

Losing patience and confidence,

I try to make myself believe

I really couldn't get it

' Wake up, Cass!

You will only have it in your dreams...'

But I couldn't do it,

for I'm optimistic.

No matter how confuse my feelings are,

I never let it rule.

My father believe in me,

why shouldn't I to myself?

Just pray and wait

for the very day to come.

When the fateful day crept in,

I was unaware of its arrival.

Mom is the very First,

who get to see my present.

Puzzled to see 7 misscalls,

I called to ask

' What's up?'

The rest is history.

HOORAY!!!

I DID IT!

Can you feel the Earth trembles?

Its earthquake! Not a harmless tremor! It's supposed to be a prospering year for China, as China is going to be the host for the prestigious Olympic Games 2008. Unfortunately, China has suffered a lot even though we haven't enter mid-year of 2008. In the beginning of the year, that's right before Chinese New Year, a serious snow storm had targetted China. Blizzards and avalanche had deliberately forced a large population of happy home-comers to be trapped at various stations. There were accidents and other troubles throughout the process of saving or freeing the people. At the end of the day, the whole world got to see that the China government really cares for its people, for things are done spontaneously and effectively.

Little do the epople know that another massive disaster will strike while everyone is focusing on the major event---Olympic Games 2008. Calamity left all of us in a shocking state. Sichuan is now a land of debris and dust, roamed by perhaps more than 50,000 souls and there are still millions of homeless survivors. Parents have lost their children ( most families have only one child). Of course, children have lost their parents. I have read of one news that showed a little girl managed to survive as her parents had sacrificed themselves for her.

There is also a 20-year-old girl who spent her birthday on a stretcher, with her rescuers singing a birthday song to her once she was freed from the ruins. The rescue parties are trying very hard to save as many lives as possible. What we could do here is to donate monay or help by any other means. At the mean time, we should pray together that the survivors will be strong enough to carry on with their lives, whereas the unfortunate to live in peace. What have happened have happened, we would just have to learn from this tragedy.

{ May their souls be strengthened...}

Unleash The Wizardry Inside You!!!

In fairy tales, witches are portrayed as ugly, malevolent and spooky. Thanks to J.k.Rowling that the virtual world of witchcraft is now widely acceptable, or should I say much appreciated? Im my childhood days, I always want to be the princess. In my teens, I switched my identity---the princess evolves into a witch! The title may have changed, but the heart never does. I appreciate that Rowling created a new image for those in the wizarding world. A witch or a wizard may choose to be good or evil. The same applies to Muggles. Are you wizardry-discriminated? For sure I'm not, coz I'm an enchantress......

Blog for FUN???

Yeah...I finally created a blog of my own...I really like Terence's blog. He inspired me ( ahem... as if he is that great, but somehow he is). Well, that's how The Enchantress' Touch exists. Now that I couldn't really decorate my blog. Shouldn't complain as I'm using the staffroom facilities. Wait till I have my own notebook, with a wave of my wand, The Enchantress' Touch will become a Cinderella!
