New Hair. New Confidence.

I LOVE HAIR CUTS. Because it gives me a new confidence of myself. No long hair to pull me down.

I’ve never kept long hair in my entire lifetime. And I never will. Mark my words.

Simply can’t wait for my next haircut.

From The Inside Out

All right, I’ve contracted another earworm. This time it’s titled “From the Inside Out” by Hillsongs.

Brilliantly composed.

From The Inside Out

A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Anyway, I finished this book one week ago, titled “Postcards from No Mans Land” by Aidan Chambers.

So intriguing it will keep you at the edge of your seat! It covers themes such as love, friendship between family members, homosexuality, sexuality, death.
A REALLY GOOD READ!
You will NEVER forget the story told.

Two craftily interwoven stories, separated by 50 years in time, make up this emotionally and intellectually challenging novel.

Trust Nat. Read it.

New School Bag, More pictures!

Yay! I’ve got a new school bag. Zinc has nice bags man. And cheap too! Plus, I bargained for my very good price! (:
From $43 to $__.

Here’s how the bag looks like. See the name tag on the bag?

Let’s have a closer look!

I’ve taken TONNES of photos for the past few days but I’ve yet share them with the world.

Friday, I was on my way to CSC for Amplify, and I saw this metroexual on the MRT. Haha, Metro SPOTTED! (:

Okay, so maybe he ain’t that cute….

Down for curia meeting on Saturday. Was a MAD rush I tell you. From choir, to curia, to CSC.
And after curia meeting, an OLD LADY gave me a ROSE (: So sweet of her.

Thanks Sean, for the picture.

And just yesterday (Sunday), I had my haircut at FarEast Supercuts. Haha, I think my hairstylist, Toshi, is cool. Although I did regret not going back to Andy at Cineleisure.
When I was getting my hair cut, I saw this balding man, and he was getting a RATHER EXPENSIVE haircut.
That’s what I call “BALDING WITH PRIDE”.

Oh yes, a RANDOM photograph from Risen Christ’s toilet. I just found it retarded. Like anyone would read it (I did!).

The NUS Catholic Students’ Society (CSS) organises a Catholic Awareness Week (CAW) in campus annually. The purpose of CAW is to spread an awareness of the Catholic faith to students on campus and also as a form of evangelisation to the student population.

This year’s CAW will be of a much larger scale as compared to the CAW of previous years, starting off with exhibitions within the university campus, mass and finally culminating with a a youth rally on the evening of 10th of Feb in Catholic Junior College Performing Arts Centre. This rally will not only be confined to NUS students, but also to the youths in Singapore as well.

The highlights of the Rally includes:

• Praise And Worship by Living Stones Campus Outreach (LSCO)
• Benediction
• Healing
• Homily
• Praying Over

His Grace, Archbishop Nicholas Chia, will be gracing the Rally together with Fr. Valerian Chong, Fr. Simon Pereira and other invited guests.
It is our aim to make the “Hearts on Fire!” Rally an annual event.

There’ll be limited seats, so please REGISTER! Because I’m going as well!

Hope to see you there!

Happy Confirmation

Happy Confirmation Ian, Eugene and JP.
I only hope that you will trust the Holy Spirit with all your heart.

Yay. Finally caught up with Rebecca today (:

Anyway. I keep thinking of ONE THING ever since I came back.

It’s THIS TIE! I want it! AHH. SHEEP! Cute sheepys not to mention.

Youth In the Spirit Seminar (YISS 2007)

GO FOR IT! It’s the BEST thing that can ever happen in your life. It has definitely changed my life for sure. I enjoyed it to the max. The perfect camp, because of God (:

It’s 14th to 17th June 2007, Catholic Spirituality Centre (Upper Serangoon Road).

For more details, you can approach me, and I’ll check out whatever details you wanna know (: (: (:

Nat = Unhappy FOR NOW.

Nat isn’t happy. Therefore Nat isn’t gonna be like her normal self (for a while). ):

But I do have some things I want to thank God for.
1. Everyone at Amplify.
2. The fact that I can juggle my work and studies real well.
3. And Him dying for us.

Point number two. I should consider myself on of the luckier students in life eh? Being able to study and do everything else fairly well. Yeah, I do feel lucky.
I just don’t feel appreciated. ):

I feel irritated over the fact that everytime I see my mother’s husband, he feels anger inside of him. AND THIS MAKES ME UNHAPPY. Why? Because all that comes out of that mouth of his is CRAP. Senseless. Nonsense.
Empty vessels make the most noise.

4th Saturday mass today at Catholic Spirituality Centre. Lectored. I thought I read FANTASTIC (:

I’M GONNA STAND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ONE DAY. AND JUST DIE.

The BROKEN Mercury Thermometer.

Chemistry practical today.
We had to measure to do Thermometric Titration.

Guess what? Miss Nat didn’t even know that I had broken a thermometer RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
I was recording the results, and the Mercury that leaked out of the thermometer had ‘rolled’ on to my piece of paper, AND I HAD NOT REALISED IT…
Until…

Mrs Pillai started walking around my area, and screamed: (points at my paper) “OH MY GOODNESS! What is that! Is that Mercury!! Did you know it’s poisonous?”

Me: “OH MY GOODNESS! REALLY?! AHH!” Sits there and I was still in contact with the Mercury)

Mrs Pillai: “Go away. It’s poisonous.” (Turns and talks to class now) “Girls, have you ever heard of this man who broke the thermometer and injected the mercury collected from it into his father’s bloodstream? His father became paralysed.”

Class: (gasps)

Well, yeah. I still sat there like an idiot, for nearly 5 minutes.
And Mrs Pillai said: “Nathalie! Don’t stand there and look so mournful, go to another empty table to do your work.”

Me: (pouts)

And towards the end of Chemistry lesson, Zinnia sang the song “You’re beautiful” by James Blunt, but she somehow changed the lyrics.

“You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, it’s true.
And I saw your face, in the Chemistry lab.
To save you from mercury.”

It’s Out-Of-Point!

Haha, guess I should have just swallowed that mercury right then right there.
Before anything like this happens again, I shall write my will (not that I’m of legal age or anything like that).
But if I ever do become full body paralysed, please conduct euthanasia on me! Will love you people for the rest of my life!

Anw, if any of you 4e6-ers in my Physics class are reading this! Please bring $3.50 tmr for the Physics notes! I’ve bargained, and got the best price for you guys already! You only have to pay $3.50 down from a $4! Imagine the amount of money the company is losing… $0.50*24=$21. ALOT OF MONEY PPLE!!

The End of ME.

Joy was singing “THE END OF ME” in class today, and it set me thinking.

What I am doing right now.

1. Eating as much as I can.
2. Thinking of ways to end my life.
3. Talking to Sean.
4. Thinking that I should plan to murder my entire family then myself. Wipe all of us out, so we dont need to live on this meagre pay which my mother’s husband think is sufficient. I so know there are others out there living a worse life than me. I SHOULDN’T BE COMPLAINING.
5. Thinking that I shouldn’t end my life, because I have God.

If I do end my life…
1. I’ll be sending those who care for me into a state of depression (or maybe not).
2. I can’t sit for my O’s and show my mother’s husband how smart I am.
3. I can’t do a lot of things.
4. I can’t find my love. Like who wants to spend the rest of their life with Nat Fern anyway.

You’ll most probably see me on the papers real sooon.
Obituaries.

Bye world. This is not the last post. So don’t worry.

Nat is out.

And here I am.

Each and everyday, I wake up asking myself “Why AM I STILL HERE?”
I’m not pessimistic. It’s just that I know it’s a sign for me to tell me that I’m not done with my work for God.

And here I am…

Just crying over some family that fights, that doesn’t know what PEACE is.
Just not bothering about everything that SHOULD matter.

And here I am…

Fighting for my own life, when I should have been gone a long time ago.
Just wanting to end everything as it should be now.

And here I am…

Just loving God, and thanking Him for all this that I’m going through now.

Here I am,
Trying my best to make the world I live in a better place.

Just stop fighting. Just stop it.
Don’t make me flare up. Don’t.

How to make breasts grow bigger.

Too many things are running through my mind right now. But I’ll blog about what comes to my mind.

Don’t mind me for speaking my mind.

But don’t you think that Asian women (in general) have really small breasts?
I think so, compared to the others from Africa, North and South America, Europe and Australia (I think I just mentioned all the continents with people living on them. Never really seen any
“Antarctica-ians”, so I don’t really know).

So, I did a little research FOR ASIAN WOMEN who are extremely unhappy about their breast sizes.
There are surgical and non-surgical methods of course. If it were me, I’d opt for the non-surgical methods. It would make me feel more REAL. (:

• Try to avoid most caffeine-infused products. This would include chocolate (although chocolate is not the biggest culprit), coffee, caffeinated sodas such as colas and darker colored sodas, tea, caffeine supplements such as diet aids, waking aids and other types of stimulating supplements with anything like guarana or kola nut in them. Caffeine and stimulants, when taken internally, can actually counteract the effects of natural breast enlarging supplements due to their diuretic (water ridding) nature, and the tendency to speed up the metabolism of nutrients and calories, which may hinder the very natural breast enahncement process that you are trying to achieve.
  
• Reducing stress by exercising moderately, getting plenty of sleep and eating the right foods that keep blood sugar stable is a must for keeping hormonal balance, which provides an excellent conduit to breast growth while on an oral breast enhancement supplement.
  
• For some reason, it has been found that oral breast enhancement supplements work best when consumed with higher protein meals and preparations such as protein shakes and egg white egg salad. Lean, pure protein will help you get the results you want, especially with a product like Bountiful Breast.
  
• Try to let your breasts be as free from constraints as possible at all times, even if this means wearing a looser bra, or no bra at all once in a while. This really is a good rule of thumb for breast health in general as many doctors will tell you, as well as a very beneficial practice for natural breast enlargement, as it will help faciliate making your breasts grow bigger since they are not constrained and the tissues is allowed to “expand” more easily on it’s own without any restrictions. Many doctors advocate going braless believe it or not, as even tight bra wearing has been implicated in causing breast cancers – believe it or not. Maybe we should all burn our bras anyways then
  
• Light to moderate breast massage will help stimulate making your breasts grow, especially when paired with one of the quality topical breast enhancing creams or serum specially formulated for breast growth stimulation. This method of faciliating natural breast growth and helping to make the body expand and grow your breasts naturally has been used for years in other cultures along with special herbal tinctures as an accepted method of natural breast beautification, and is just now starting to realize its merits here in the US.

Another source I got my information from:
http://www.mynippon.com/nao/pictures_2.htm
The FAQs here are GREAT.

Oh yes, if you’re a teenager worrying about your breast size. STOP WORRYING. Wait till you’re 18, then start worrying.

And if you decide to lose weight, chances are, you’ll lose your breasts too. Just a little info for dieters out there

Sorry males. I know this doesn’t relate to you. But have fun reading anyway.

Just type in “how to make breasts grow bigger” in Google/Yahoo search, and the results are ENDLESS. Have fun!

Confirmation

Today was Confirmation day for my juniors in Blessed Sacrament Church.
I wish them all the best in their journey with God.
I pray that they will experience the joy that God can and will give them.

Use your gifts wisely, and always remember that God gives to those who use their talents wisely.
Read Matthew 25:14.

My challenge to all the newly confirmed: Serve, and be Faithful. For it’s in small things where you do great things.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY PATRICIA, HANSEL AND JEREMY! (:
