Its official.MSN hates me.they refuse to let me check my email and i cant go online.ive got suuper important stuff to reply to and receive from and i cant go in.><

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN IVY!!!!sorry i forgot about it babe.I LOVE YOU!

im so pissed with msn.bleah.exasperation.it really sucks having to sit at home realising that your stupid computer has this virus that refuses to let you go into your email.school computers are always used, and im grounded anyway.

28th May is coming!!but then again, i dont feel scared, or worried.maybe because i know that nomater what happens, i will still need to retake anyway.i expect my best will be b4.if im that lucky.

yay.final l1r5 is 16 this term.with my kind of grades, ill probably end up in some ulu institute next year.sheesh.i just loove feeling this way.it makes me feel all happy.your parents forever nagging their butts off, relatives comparing you to their kids and going why arent you doing better than them?my only sibling ego-ing on the fact that his overall average was higher than mine.BIG DEAL.sometimes i wish i lived in this shell.

which reminds me.i had this dream in the bus two days back.i dreamt of a red pig with wings.it went oink oink and it was flapping its wings and bobbing up and down towards me.i sort of got a shock and woke up.what happened after that was COMPLETELY embarassing.so i shall spare the details.that night i went back to sleep trying to get myself to dream of it again because it was utterly cute.

i just wish the computer will just pop back into working condition again.then i dont have to blog illegally in school.under the watchful eyes of all the cameras and teachers.

DANCE ELECTIVE ASSIGNMENT!!SO IRRITATING.we havent even finalised all the details yet.and we need to dance tomorrow.ivy has successfully incorporated the happy dance into hers, but mine will look weird having that inside, cause its the shakey pumpy sort.i look like this clumsy elephant doing that.i just hope i pass.

legacy project.seriously, im so pissed that the school is giving us all these crap assignments just before chinese os.its so distracting.spca hasnt called us back yet.and we want to go there next tuesday!!so..we will be calling them later after school.i have a hunch they'll reject us.>< suck eggs.

ivy said not to say suck my eggs cause it sounds wrong.in a way, i guess it sorta does.ivy, if you hasnt said that, i would never have thought of that.

alright my dearies.i shall send my love and kisses if any of you need them.

<3 cassie (:

WHEEE..

ive had the most fantastic day.

awoke at 9am shrieking with joy that there was no school.sweet.thinking about the fact that people are busy writing furiously and freaking out over the exam questions made me gloat.left the home at 9.30 in a white polo tee and skirt.the adults were all staring at me like i had just ponteng school.well, who can blame them?XD

i was the second to arrive at vivo.the GV tickets are cute.as in the dinosaur.sadly they tear out and keep that part.so we dont get to have it.and thats like the thing i like about the ticket.then i thought of what my cute cute brother said to me."can i go?" "really?whatever you want.i know you love being around girls." "what?you mean its all girls?" "doi." "sheesh.forget about it then.you sure no guys will be there?" "they'll be in school." "oh.right.then i shall go comtemplate." "uh, ok." (next morning, which was today) "after much contemplation(an entire night's.LOL.)i have decided against it." "ok.as if you would go anyway." "byebye.have fun.please no intimate action hor.i want you to be straight." -.- ANYONE STILL THINK HE'S INNOCENT?JUST RAISE YOUR HAND.gosh.

spidey 3 wasnt that nice.i preferred 2 better.apparently ann and bah were crying away.au contraire, me and huiching were laughing away,cause some of the lines are just SO corny.sheesh."peter, tell me you love me." "i love you.i truly love you, mary-jane.i love you so much."*kiss* this is so..whatever.this time round was more comedy than thriller.the only sad thing was when harry died for pete.i was close to tears but considering the fact that i was laughing uncontrollably before that, i didnt.heh.on the other hand, the guys behind me kept kicking my chair.i was so irritated.

su ann paid 7 bucks for the movie but didnt watch it.cause she already watched it.and she bought a bottle of PLAIN water for 5 over bucks(!!!!!!!!) just to get a helium balloon which was free.later we realised we could get 5 without having to buy anything at all.so long as we kissed him and called him handsome.yes we were joking.it was fun playing with helium.whiney whiney.we had suicidal scenes, breaking up scenes, mum and child scenes.people were staring at us with profound interest.but oh wells, this is what you get when you put a group of tk girls together.as for me, it hardly worked, cause whenever i breathed it in i would just laugh out all the gas.pffft.my dad called me minnie mouse.bleah.

i wanted to buy a book.but i never really managed to in the end.i just got too engrossed.doing other stuff.

we went to the playground.the slippers i were wearing had poor grip and i ended up falling down a slope and once again landing gracefully on the side of my butt.this always hapens.my body is tuned in a way that i always land on the right side of my butt when i fall.strange.it felt weird too.

walked around the entire vivocity to look for food.we were indecisive and had to find halal food.ended up at ljs.was thinking of ben and jerry's, but then we realised one cone costs like $4.50 now.its SO overpriced, considering the fact that its one of the most fattening ice cream around.

FACTS OF VIVOCITY TO NOTE:

  • always wear shoes with good grip.
  • never wear heels.because you have to walk alot.
  • bring a sweater if you are going to the cinema.its freezing.
  • always decide on what you want to eat first then look for the restaurant.its much easier.
  • a directory is very important.so are the grid references.you can hone you geog map-reading skills there.(and just a thought, i wonder how many directories they must have, since the mall is so big.)
  • ljs's is a nice place to talk about how dubai is developing so quickly and the possibility that it might take over singapore.after all, they DO have the land and the oil.and hence the money.and they are focusing on the same economic sectors as us.and they have the palm, built entirely out of reclaimed land.and their underwater residential area.the largest shopping mall in the world.the tallest and best hotel in the world(7 stars.wooo....).AND their airport has also filled up singapore's space in terms of having the best airport.AND DUBAILAND!!i wouldnt mind living in dubai.only that id have to wear long sleeves in the hot sun everyday.that mght be a problem cause i pespire too easily.
  • the clothes there are expensive.
  • and so is the food at cold storage!maybe its cause they cater to the expatriates.
  • the atm's a good place to take funky photos.

later i went for mass.people were all staring at me cause of my orange helium balloon.hee.

sold flowers for mother's day in church yesterday.fun.

saturday was DA BOMB!minus the three hour chinese tuition in the morning.at might was dinner at morton's steakhouse.the entire bill came up to about ?$600 plus.the total food experience.OH YEAH!!!!!lobster bisque,lobster, alaskan king crab legs, crabcake,caesar salad,fries,2-inch thinck steak,BROCOLLI!!the best part about it is the menu.its a real life menu!on a tray!sweet.and the lobster they used was alive.my brother and i were saying that after so many rounds of customers, the poor lobster must be suffering from motion sickness.XDand the brocolli was so cute.i apparently made my dad lose face when i grabbed the thick chunky big big big big brocolli(the size that you find in cold storage) and started eating it in the same way you eat a chicken wing.((=power.i finished it by myself, cause i felt it was such a pity that we didnt eat it.that two brocolli that you can get for $1.50 sold for $15 and it was only steamed with no gravy or anything.just steamed.ten times the cost price.btw, the chepest steak costs $80, and though its at least two-inches thick, its only 3 inches wide.my perfect filet mignon.i like.

which statement is the catholic view?

  1. Salvation is dependent on faith alone.
  2. Salvation is dependent on both faith AND good works.

the answer is 1.Salvation is dependent on faith alone.and i never knew that till yesterday when auntie angela said it.when a person truly believes in Him, he/she will automatically perform good works so as to follow in his footsteps.(if you think about it, it basically comes as a free gift.like when you buy a television, the remote comes with it.sort of.heh.)if one only claims that he believes, but in his heart truely doesnt, then there is no faith.because proclaimation does not equal to belief.interesting.and to think i only managed to figure it out after 16 years of my life.

i love helum balloons.maybe i shoudl just get a helium tank to keep myself company.then id run out of oxygen in the blood and die.hehe.

nonono!!!!more papers tomorrow.i hope i do well.CROSS MY FINGERS AND HOPE TO DIE!!

XD

With a Knick-knack paddywhack,

This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played ten,
He played knick-knack once again;
with a Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.


nursery rhymes bring back god childhood memories.where life was so much easier.it was either im right and youre wrong, or youre wrong and im right.now as i grow older there seems to be more shades of grey, everyday, every hour, every minute and second.things just arent so clear cut anymore.bleah.wouldnt it be nice, travel back in time.revisit all those fun places, those times when everyone was happy.

i need info on our lady of fatima.

On May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to the three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, in the little village of Fatima, Portugal. Our Lady requested that the children come on the thirteenth of each month at the same hour and that in the month of October she would tell them who she is and what she wanted them to do. Our Lady appeared a total of six times. Her message from God was for every man, woman, and child of our century. Our Lady of Fatima promised that the whole world would be in peace, and that many souls would go to Heaven if her requests were listened to and obeyed.

According to Lúcia's account, Mary confided to the children three secrets, known as the Three Secrets of Fatima.Mary asked them to say the Rosary every day, reiterating many times that the Rosary was the key to personal and world peace.

First secret
The first secret was a vision of Hell:
Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear. The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant. How can we ever be grateful enough to our kind heavenly Mother, who had already prepared us by promising, in the first Apparition, to take us to heaven. Otherwise, I think we would have died of fear and terror.[2]

Second secret
The second secret is a statement that World War I would end and supposedly predicts the coming of World War II should God continue to be offended. The second half requests that Russia be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart:
You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light*, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.[3]

This secret's controversy is second only to the supposed final secret of Fatima, as it seemingly predicts both the all-encompassing World War II, the radical, bloody and extreme anti-religion ideology of the Soviet Union, and the proxy wars and limited direct confrontations that would be initiated between the Western Democracies and the Soviet Bloc. Some critics have noted that the "Prophecy" was not disclosed until August 1941, after World War II had already begun.[4] However, some supporters have also noted that to an observer in 1941, it appeared inevitable that the Soviet Union would fall before the armies of Nazi Germany and would not survive to dominate over Central and Eastern Europe as it did.[citation needed] Pope Pius XII subsequently consecrated Russia on July 7, 1952, not long before the death of Stalin and the subsequent destalinization campaigns of Khrushchev, and almost 40 years before the fall of Communism. [1]

Third secret
The third part of the secret was written down "by order of His Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and the Most Holy Mother ..." on 3 January 1944.[5] Bishop da Silva, visiting Lucia on September 15, 1943 while she was bedridden, first suggested that she write the third secret down to assure that it would be recorded in the event of her death. Lucia was hesitant to do so, however. Finally, in mid-October Bishop da Silva sent her a letter containing a direct order to record the secret, and Lucia obeyed. In June of 1944, the sealed envelope containing the third secret was delivered to da Silva, where it stayed until 1957, when it was finally delivered to Rome.[6]
It was announced on May 13, 2000, 83 years after the first apparition of the Lady to the children in the Cova da Iria, that the third secret would finally be released. The text was published on June 26, 2000:
J.M.J.
The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fatima, on 13 July 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.
Tuy-3-1-1944.[7]

Then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger published along with the text of the secret a theological commentary,[8] in which he states that:
"A careful reading of the text of the so-called third 'secret' of Fatima...will probably prove disappointing or surprising after all the speculation it has stirred. No great mystery is revealed; nor is the future unveiled."
After explaining the differences between public and private revelations, he cautions people not to see in the message a determined future event:
"The purpose of the vision is not to show a film of an irrevocably fixed future. Its meaning is exactly the opposite: it is meant to mobilize the forces of change in the right direction. Therefore we must totally discount fatalistic explanations of the “secret”, such as, for example, the claim that the would-be assassin of 13 May 1981 was merely an instrument of the divine plan guided by Providence and could not therefore have acted freely, or other similar ideas in circulation. Rather, the vision speaks of dangers and how we might be saved from them."
He then moves on to talk about the symbolic nature of the images, noting that:
"The concluding part of the 'secret' uses images which Lucia may have seen in devotional books and which draw their inspiration from long-standing intuitions of faith."
As for the meaning of the message:
"What remains was already evident when we began our reflections on the text of the 'secret': the exhortation to prayer as the path of 'salvation for souls' and, likewise, the summons to penance and conversion."

ok.its pointless putting all the info here.i cant copy and paste from my blog.

goodnight.
