hey guys, lately i have been worried about my chin last time, when i put her on my lap, she wont try to run away from be and she wont try to bite me but this time, she will. what should i do?

chins aren't the type of creature that likes to sit still for very long, so wanting her to sit on your lap for more than 2.5 seconds is probably a futile venture, lol.

are you sure it was an actual bite? chins will nibble. this is the way they groom each other, and if you have a bond with your chin, she will try to groom you.

how long have you had her?

well, ive had her for 3 months already, and the bite was painful....

Did she come from a pet store in Singapore? From what I've heard and read over the years, that's a pretty dismal place to come from. If you've only had her 3 months, then she's doing pretty well behavior wise. The mantra you need to remember is "time and patience." As noted above, chins are not cuddly, sit on your lap kinda animals. For one thing, they overheat easily when being mauled by their owners. They are more of a watching pet, where you interact on their terms, not yours.
