( Long Day @ 10:24 PM )

I had a really long day today and i'm back and quite exhausted. Last night we had core group meeting and i reached home at around 1.30am. This morning i had to wake up at 6.15 am and worked from 7am to 5.30pm. After that i had to travel all the way to woodlands for piano lesson and all the way back again. Can't imagine how relief i was when i actually reached my door step! And after watching tv and taking a nice cool bath, i'm finally sitting in front of my computer!:D

Core group meeting was kind of great. Leader shared on the 3Ps of how we can live a better life and work with God. 1. Praying- spending time and talking to God, complaining to him, telling him your needs and thanking him. 2. Partnership- partnership with the holy spirit is very important. Because indeed nothing will be impossible when you partner with God, well because he is God and nothing is impossible for him. Even if you feel that the section you just led was a total flop, as long as God is with you, the session is gonna be a ministering one. 3. Promise- hanging on to the promises of God. All these set me thinking and i think it really ministered to me. I realise i havent really been spending enough time with God, talking to him and singing his praises. When will i even start?

You know how it's horrible when you thought everything was going quite fine and then someone comes along and says he sense something is wrong. Then you have to go into deep thought and think why he say such a thing. After that you actually dig all these thought and feelings out and you realise that actually it really is something which has been bordering you, yet when it actually happened you choose to hide it deep inside you and choose to overlook it. You never knew it was actually a problem until that person mentions it and asks you to talk it over with him. Worst of all the next day you wake up feeling quite depressed and wondering if the thoughts and feelings that came out last night was a nightmare. I know this sounds kinda confusing because i didn't really add in the details. But i believe one day all will end well.

It's really funny how a single human can make one so happy, at the same time make one upset.
I guess we are all humans and God gave us emotions for a reason. I think i'm just going through this transition period now, where one can be so lost in thoughts and feelings that she does not know what she's doing. Or whether she's feeling happy or sad. New cell this friday, and i'm not really sure how i'm going to cope with it. I hope that i will find my purpose there and fulfill God's purpose for me when he placed me at Hased@Anchorvale.


Dear God, just prepare me for the things ahead, that i will be brave enough to overcome any challenges.

( Past Hurts @ 11:15 PM )

As i begin to view those photos, there's a sense of mixed feelings in me. Sense of unhappiness, anger, hate, disappointment, and perhaps a tinge of sadness. How can it be?! I kind of regret not responding to the alter call on saturday. Maybe i need to learn to forgive. I still don't understand, how can someone just leave behind a trail of betrayal and not do anything about it?! What a jerk and irresponsible bastard! I'm sorry i'm saying this, but i'm just expressing how i'm feeling right now. I read a poster that men tend to lie more than woman. Is that true? Why did God make men this way? I still don't understand why...





Dear God, please give me another chance to respond to you at the alter

( Weekly update @ 6:28 PM )

It's a new week! With exciting things for me to look forward to! (other than work) I'm going to watch dark knight, well it better be good cause it ain't really my kind of show. I'm also going out wif the MIT gals, and we'll most probably be going to St James after tat:) It's great to catch up with friends and to go out with new ones!


Had a talk with Stephen yesterday(my cell leader). Is what he said really true? Is he really that prophetic? I hope he's wrong this time round. I'm not ready to let go right now.




Dear God, please show me, give me the wisdom in deciding what's best for me.

( monday bluesc @ 10:41 PM )

Today, i had the worst monday blues i've ever had! Maybe beacuse i had been looking forward to a weekend which passed too quickly? Anyway when i went to school this monring i started tearing for no reason, lols maybe because i felt upset. Later on it became better until evening. Just as i was looking forward to going home, this had to happen. A father saw another boy hitting his son, so in a fit of anger he came into the classroom and slapped the boy on his face for hitting his son. By then i was too shocked to react and i didn't know what to say. The boy's father was obviously furious when he found out that his son was slapped by another man. He demanded to see the father tomorrow if not he'll call the police. Will a fight break out when they meet? Lols i do not know. Anyway i'm trying to stay very calm and relax. Whatever will be will be. There's nothing else i can do. I don't understand these parents! Why won't they think before they act? What's wrong with them? Anyway i'm looking forward to see what will happen tomorrow. Stay tuned.... :)


I watched the strangers yesterday. Well it was a show that had no storyline, and i don't really like shows like that. But the shocking parts scared me, lols! But thank God i had a arm to hold:) haha. Anyway will there be a second time? Hmmm i dunno... i'll wait and see.



Dear God, i want to believe that you are in charge of all situations in my life

( New Blog Skin @ 1:24 PM )

I changed my blog skin! And i am beginning to love it, especially the falling snowflakes:P

This morning my bro sent me a blog about a girl's bf who died suddenly while at army. As i was reading the blog, tears swelled up in my eyes. I could imagine the pain and sadness she was going through. It set me thinking how i am living my life without cherishing every moment spent with my loved ones. How i just take them for granted and expect them to be there for me always. It's a really scary thought to think what if one of them leaves me one day. Many times we don't realise the importance of someone until that someone is taken away from us. And we begin questioning why and blaming ourselves. So let's not wait till it happens, but rather start cherishing those around us this very moment.

This week seemed to pass very slowly, expecially friday! But i thank God it's saturday. I do not know why, but these few days i've been dragging myself to go to work. It's has been becoming more and more tough and i have been starting to lose my temper a lot lately. As i begin to sit down and talk to God, i start thinking and asking, what am i really made up to be? What are God plans for my future? Is this line really made for me? Am i placed in this place for a purpose? I'm still finding out more...


Dear God, please show me the path you have for me. Give me the joy in doing the things that you have set in place for me.

( Knowing you @ 6:51 PM )

在无数的黑夜里,
我用星星画出祢,
祢的恩典如晨星,
让我真实的见到祢。
在我的歌声里,
我用音符赞美祢,
祢的美好是我今生颂扬的。

这一生最美的祝福,
就是能认识主耶稣。
这一生最美的祝福,
就是能信靠主耶稣。

走在高山深谷,
他会伴我同行,
我知道,这是最美的祝福。


The greatest gift in my life is knowing you Lord, you're my Jesus, my Saviour, you're every thing to me.

( Levis! @ 12:23 AM )

Okayys, i do not know what got into me today. I was suppose to go to Raffles City today to buy donuts for cell. Then i reached there early and didn't really know what to do, so i was thinking, hmmm, perhaps i can go do some WINDOW SHOPPING first. So i decided to go into Levi's to take a look at the jeans which i was thinking of buying. As i had guessed, they didn't have my size, so i think that pair of jeans is out of my want list already. So i looked around and saw this nice pair of light blue jeans that they had. Wah! It's the exact colour that i have been looking for, but it's a bit beyond my budget though. But i told myself, never mind i try first and see how well it fits. I tried and immediately said ok, i'll buy it! On top of that, the person told me that if i bought a top i'll get $20 off that top, so (you know me always falling for these kind of sales strategy) i said ok. In the end, I bought a pair of light blue levi's jeans and a t-shirt. Total cost? $183. Haha, later on i kind of regretted it a little as i felt it was too hasty a decision, but it's too late i already bought it. It's quite nice actually, when my camera is ready i shall take a picture of me wearing it and post it for you guys to be jealous! LOLS!


Let's relook at my want list:

Item no. 1 is out! I think no more boots for me this month, but a new pair of heels would be fine:P
Item no. 2? It's definitely out too, since they do not have my size and won't be shipping in anymore
Item no. 3? Well, can still be considered since it's something which i can use for a few years. I might buy it if i see one which i like
Item no. 4? I've gotten it already!:D
Item no. 5? It's definitely IN! I'll be going vivo on monday and i'll definitely pop by forever 21 and see what's in store!
Item no. 6? Most probably, let me go down to MAC and look at it again, then i'll decide if i really need it, if not this item can wait:D

Okayys, i think i wanna add one more item!... ...


Item no. 7->
I want a bag like this! I've been looking around for one but can't seem to find one which i like. If u do see one similar to this, do tag me please:) That's all for now:P

( Money no enough? @ 10:25 PM )

Somehow this month i got my pay earlier than i should have. As usual, after getting my pay i get excited thinking that i can go shopping again. But as i sit down and minus off my expenses i realise that there's nothing much left, really. Furthermore this is the month of GSS, i have more reasons to spend right? Well, i guess i'll just have to draw out a teeny weeny bit from my savings, i'll save more next month when GSS is over;P (wrong thinking!) Lols, who cares?! Live life while you can! Heard of that? Well, but i think i should really cut down, afterall i got 10 new tops in a week? Lols~ Here's a list of things that i WANT to buy this month (whether i actually buy them or not, i'm not too sure)

Item no 1. Boots~ black maybe? (Not those shiny kind that getai singers wear on stage)
Cost- $70
Item no 2. Black pair of levi's jeans (Saw a really nice pair at raffles city outlet, but they didn't have my size)
Cost- $213? ard there i think
Item no 3. A new LG touch phone ( I wanted the prada one but it's out of stock so i have to look out for another one:( )
Cost- $500-$600?
Item no 4. A light blue pair of jeans ( I am still on the lookout for one, tell me if u know where i can get one)
Cost- $50-$60?
Item no 5. New tops from Forever 21~! ( Lols, it has suddenly become my fav shop)
Cost- $70-$100?
Item no 6. Make-up from mac ( I've been wanting the gel eye liner thanks to my fren!)
Cost- $28 (more if i find smth else i like:P)

Let's see, all these items added up, hmmm i think it'll need about 1k to spend? Well, lemme think abt it and if i ever get either of these i'll show it to you:P


Ok, now will somebody tell me, what will take a guy to ask a girl out? (Something me and my fren were talking abt) Here are some reasons:

1. He's not interested in her
2. He's not willing to put his pride down and ask her out
3. He's waiting for her to make the first move to show how interested she is in him?
4. He has no money
5. He's not really willing to pay for the things they will spending on on their date
6. He's not in the best of mood to ask her out
7. He feels he is not suai enough to ask her out? Lols.
8. He just can't find the correct time
9. He has no means of transport
10. You tell me why, i can't think of anymore

I know some of these reasons are quite lame, but they might be true. Perhaps? Lols!



Dear God, help me to be patient in waiting for your perfect timing.
