Thank you

Just want to thank all who have wished me and celebrated my 21st birthday for me. And for all the presents too. Yeah, I know I'm like so.. late. Hahah. I totally enjoyed myself and I love all the cards and presents many many. :D

I spent the longest time celebrating my birthday this year. It feels like as if everyday is my birthday. Ate tons of dinners, bbq food, cakes and sang happy birthday songs. Took zillion amount of photos too.

It feels kinda weird actually. But.. I really really enjoyed all the fellowships.

Really.

So.. thank you! (:

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need

I say love it is a flower
And you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring
Becomes the rose

I want to buy a Nikon camera soonnnn. I'm tired of borrowing and returning the camera reluctantly. :( Probably considering a second hand due to my own economic crisis. Let me know if you got any lobang okay. Thanks.

Life has been hectic. To add on to that hectic life, I experienced how assumptions and words can cause destruction. And especically an extra element is added in this time round. Which is: Distrust. It's disappointing to know that even people whom you trusted most are showing that element against you.

Everything was did out of faith. Probably I care too much of what people think of me. But seriously, tell me who don't?

Just wait till I get over this. It gonna boost my feedback immune system.
Whatever nonsense comments people gonna give, it will just be music to my ears. Sick of people who hallucinates and starts giving comments they deem so right that stabs you from the back. And now I kinda understand why there are kids who are not able to connect to their parents.

Okay enough of rants.

Weekends (:

Saturday

Met up with church mates for kfc dinner and headed down to a One Love Awakening prayer meeting. To be honest, I was expecting the whole thing to be either boring or maybe neutral initially. Yeah.. :l But I was so so so wrong. It's amazing when so many youth come together to praise and worship Him. (: There were more than 120 I think. Every youth was filled with passion and fire. His presence was so strong! All the shouts, praises, sharing, visions, prayers and tears really touched my heart.

http://onelove.sg/ Nothing inside yet.. BUT there's a facebook link there. Do check it out!

Sunday

Had a mass CNY celebration in church. Got to lou hei again! hahah.. I only like the crispy crackers. The rest of the sour stuff are quite errr... Weird.

After which it was Minds Cafe with many church mates. They had a promotion and everyone only spent 9.6 bux to play 5 hours with free flow of softdrinks with 2 orders of chips! Very worth it. Had a good fellowship with so much laughter. Played many games that cannot be found any where else. Screamed alot too. Haha.

Pictures will be up soon :) Or maybe I will choose to just upload to facebook.

I can't wait for God's plans to unfold in Y5. Excited yet feeling reserved. I really hope I can handle. In His strength! (:

2009-01-29T08:42:00.000+08:00

Mummy it's over! :(

Okay. Holis over.
Dragged myself back to work today.
Tons of stuff are waiting for me to do.

Time to get serious and FOCUS!

Empty me.

Happy Chinese New Year

Pull your ear okay? Ahh, randomness. Had a fabulous reunion dinner at granny's place just now. My granny is very old but super cute please! She was standing by the stove scooping out oil from the soup...

Me: I help you scoop can? You go and sit down.
Granny: Don't want. I know you just want to play with the soup.
Me: !?!

Hahah...

Stage

When the stage is bare tonight
There's no one else
Just You and me
When the curtains close behind
There's no pretense
I'm on my knees

Travel

Went to biopolis yesterday and today for a conference and a workshop. It has been so long since I traveled like this. The whole journey to and fro was so filled with thoughts.

2009-01-12T22:57:00.002+08:00

Fast pace

Open house was a mad rush! Everything was very disorganized, last minute and chaotic. Stayed back till 11pm when I hear the air-con shut off for several nights. And finally, it's over and done. I still had fun tho. Was in charge of the games room thus got to do some crafts and decorations. (:

The Atrium

My table was like that for almost 1 week. I eat my meals, snacks and even power nap on it. The orange thingy is a huge food pyramid. Only 1 banana was used for the food pyramid in the end. I ate some and distributed the rest out. I tied a white triangular bandage to make my chair more cool. Thought I can make it like some SIA seat but failed.

Tour guides leading visitors to the games room.

Secondary school kids who went to the games room. :)

Decorations by Year 1 & 2s. Reminds me of my poly days doing the paintings with my classmates for Open House.

Cosplay club member doing origami. These 2 clubs were just side by side. Anyway I like his hair! Advertising for gatsby? Haha. Not sure what character is this though..

Silat.

Collage of School of Chemical & Life Sciences photos. It's really big.

Bet nobody knows that the night view from nyp block Q level 7 can be like that. It's quite a relaxing location. The night breeze is awesome.

Some photos from Esplanade.

Reflections

2008 has gone with the wind. Like a breeze, it ended so fast!

I have been reflecting on my life for some time on random stuff probably at least hmm.. from 3 years back till now.

However, for this whole year I really thank God for
- every little blessing, seen and unseen that he have placed upon me.
- answering my prayers in His own most unique personal way
- my family
- my current job
- my churchmates & cell group
- my poly clique especially J, ling, wen and fionamyvalentine

and many more.

This year seems to have been a year of lesser knowledge/theory since there's no school (haha) but definitely more life-changing lessons than ever. I have earned lots of happy memories and of cos gone thru bad ones too. Made many good decisions and regret making some too. Not totally regretting though cos they have made me a stronger person. And now that I have gone thru my mistakes, hopefully I will not make the same ones again! and probably I can help others out some day :)

Seen a lot of the current world, the reality especially during my current job and the people around me then I realised how naive I'm. So 2009 shall be a year I learn to be a more non-naive person? Ahah. Yeah, and I would want to understand myself better in terms of my thoughts cos I can get quite confused by them. And then I will end up feeling rather strange and weird about myself. Got to learn to differentiate and interpret them (if that's even possible). Oh I need to be more patience, bold and tactful with my words too.

I did came up with a few more other conclusions which I'm not very sure if they are really conclusions. I tried to piece up the bits and pieces of many things together including my thoughts and feelings, and it only goes to show certain truth which I'm not sure if I have fabricated them up myself. Confused. I'm scared to face it and I'm choosing not to face it. I don't wanna make mistakes cos I'm afraid of losing things. I decided to put these unsure stuff aside, not gonna do anything. Time will resolve them, I hope. I'm an emo kid. Ha.

I pray that those thoughts, feelings and emotions that I should not have and does not belong to me to fade away. Cos I got to move on. (:

Alright anyways I still have a long way to run. Gonna be very busy in the preparation for open house. Need to be even more committed and excel in work. And I'm thinking of heading australia or london to further my studies though I hope I can stay in Singapore. Not sure if I should try applying ntu again cos I know chances are low. Hmm London is not bad choice eh! :D

2009 here I come. I'm so gonna live by faith and not by sight, clinging on to Your goodness and continue to grow in Your love! (:

My Sleeping Partner

My 10 years of sleeping partner was murdered by my mum yesterday! Ahhh 10 years of relationship is gone and I seriously cannot get use to it. Yesterday's night sleep is not as shiok any more. And I don't like my new sleeping partner. I really really really miss

my cotton pillow :( Haha. Sound like some mocca advertisement. But I really do miss hugging my pillow loads. It has been with me when I watch tv, revise for exams including O levels and poly, do projects/reports/presentations, zillions of sleeps, power naps and sometimes I even eat snacks with it. Serious.

---

I had a evening nap just now and had a strangely exciting dream. It goes like this..

I was in school (Not nyp please. getting sick of it haha) and I saw someone lying on the floor bleeding. So I ran as fast as I could to get a first aid kit. Then apparently school was under quite alot of renovations with many trucks filled with sand. I finally got my first aid kit and was running back frantically, suddenly a few trees fell along my way as I ran. I was glad I did not get wrecked by them.

So continue running then I was at this one way path where suddenly a pile of sand came crashing down infront of me. I moved back and another pile of sand came crashing down behind me. I am stucked! And the dream ended here cos' my mama shouted at me asking me to wake up. Ahh.. I have not save the person! I tried to go back and sleep to see if my dream can continue but could not.

Now that I think of it, I could have just call the ambulance then I would have save all the drama mama and my energy to run so much. Ahahah..

2008-12-24T21:08:00.002+08:00

All I want for Christmas is..

Super duper happy blessed merry Christmas my friends! :B

Had a mini christmas party in the afternoon with my colleagues and boss. Was really fun especially the designing of gingerbread man/woman/house. Haha. And we had gift exchange too. (: Oh, it's half day today! Woots.

Little santa deco

Designing my gingerbread kids

Weekend Mission Accomplished

I got it cleared already and I got over this weird/confused feeling. So you guys don't even think of taking this chance to kick me.

I lost my pair of Asics 2 weeks ago. Got stolen and this got me on my tears for some reason.

I lost my toe nail last week. Yeah, almost the whole piece was gone. Not sure what happened, found it dangling at the edge when I was struggling to get myself to sleep and I just pulled the whole thing off. Quite gross. I think I kicked the chair that night and then I was too tired to remember it.

So what's the next thing to lose this week?

---

Woke up at 6 plus, headed to school to open up level 6 and 7 lab doors for some maintenance people to do their thing. Went to church for service and headed back to school to open the doors again! Went back to church to join the youths for BBQ. And when I was about to leave to meet my secondary friends, one of my colleague msged me and asked me if I can go back to school to check out on the -80C freezers.

I almost fainted by the road side please. Did not go back to school again again though.

2008-12-19T11:20:00.006+08:00

Insane + Weird = Absurd

What was I thinking mann..? Makes me wants to arghh a zillion times when I think about it. In a state of emotional confusion and feeling real silly sia (ahh the best ending note to use now)

Please.

---Edited 2.30pm---

Alright, it's not that bad lah. After thinkingggg (and still thinking), I don't mind repeating everything again but maybe can consider skipping the second half. It was extreme awkwardness to the max. But then, a small part of it was interesting. I wouldn't want to miss that part I guess. (:

Mann, I'm so feeling the fatigue now. And confused too. Good thing it's quite a slack day today.

2008-12-15T23:20:00.000+08:00

Soup yum yum

Mann, I just love all the soups my mama cooked. De-li-cioouusss ~

2008-12-06T10:59:00.002+08:00

Doubts

I feel very self-conscious all of a sudden. What do people actually think of me? Maybe I should just shut up and talk less. I think that will be better.

Okay, shall be it.

2008-12-04T22:32:00.001+08:00

Was watching tv and I kinda put myself in their story. Somehow.

2008-12-01T00:33:00.003+08:00

Time, the limiting factor

Mann, its monday again. How I wish weekends can be extended. There are so many things to be accomplish from now to Christmas. I need more motivation and time!

Just as I thought I have more free time to do some housekeeping matters and those monthly reports, 4 ITE students came for attachment. They are being rotated among my colleagues including me. So I will be taking 3 weeks for each student. Seriously, I have no idea what I can teach. I'm only 7 months old! :l stressed. And very soon, I will be involve in some food science soon. I wonder what kind of training I will be going thru'. Hmm.

Church youth camp at Changi Coast adventure centre is coming soon! Dec 8 to 10! I'm looking forward to everything but yet racing against time.

Someone asked me yesterday if church is the reason why I'm tired and always sleeping so late. I replied, yeah in a way yes but I'm loving it. Cos I know in Him, I have overflowing Joy and sufficient strength for all things. (:

Ahh, I'm hungry, craving for night snacks now.. BUT I shall hold back and sleep this craving off!

2008-11-19T13:40:00.003+08:00

Flu monster

I'm back to work after 2 days of rest. Was down with fever, flu and cough on last friday. I'm like so s.l.o.w. and blind the whole morning. I wonder if it's because I slept too much for the past 2 days. bahh.. I better not make any stupid mistake =l

2008-11-12T20:59:00.003+08:00

Words

Have you ever thought about the impact our words have on us? I'm always amazed by how words can build someone up consciously and unconsciously. But yesterday, I'm even more amazed by how words can tear someone down in just one sentence. My minds picks up this negative signal again and again unconsciously till I felt so discouraged, depressed and all.

We cannot control our surroundings and we cannot constantly stay positive, but we definitely can make an effort to better use our own words and send out more positive, joyful, encouraging signals and energy. We decide how we want to talk, write and impact our surrounding.

This is not tearing me down any more. :) Instead it reminds me the importance of my speech and to watch every word that comes out from my mouth. I thank you for this reminder.

2008-11-03T22:02:00.001+08:00

Fund raising

Had fund raising for the upcoming youth camp in church yesterday. It was a blast! All thanks to all the adults for being so supportive. Many even ta bao back home! Sold chicken burger, fries, fried rice, fishballs, orange squash and coffee. Super exciting but exhausting. The humid weather made it worse. It's fun being in the service line especially when it comes to food:) Reached home and napped for 3 hours plus which felt like a 5 minutes power nap. If it's not for my mum's nags, I would have skipped my dinner and slept thru till next morning. Hope this coming sunday will be as good :)

-

Little did I expect myself to be drowning in all kinds of reports now. Okay, got to conquer them now.

2008-11-01T01:44:00.003+08:00

退后

天空灰得像哭过
离开你以后
並沒有更自由
酸酸的空氣
嗅出我们的距离
一幕锥心的结局
像呼吸般无法停息

抽屉泛黄的日记
榨乾了回憶
那笑容是夏季
你我的过去
被順時針的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情
粗心的眼泪是多余

我知道你我都没有错
只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给了承诺
却被时间扑了空

我知道我们都没有错
只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情回忆里待續

2008-10-25T23:04:00.001+08:00

Audit

Finally! Audit is over and nyp passed with flying colours. I almost got killed in the process, for the fact that I'm still quite a newbie. All the staying back late in the labs and office, all the ultimate mental stress, finally it did proved some worth. Praise God!

It has been a period of stretching myself mentally and physically; and a period of juggling between God, relationship, family, work and the people around. I can only say, it was not an easy task at all.

Let go totally, and let God. Easy said than done.. but I will learn to.

Give out Love

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll becomes too soft, but a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, 'Love is the only rational act.'

Love. Is. The. Only. Rational. Act.

2008-09-12T23:52:00.002+08:00

Culture

" So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

This is so true. Many times, we are so busy in the siren of our own life. We ought to ask and reflect if what we are doing now are of meaning and good purpose. Are we really spending quality time everyday? I must say that the culture in this century played such a big role in determining what we are doing now. An example would be, a never satisfied educational certificate seems enough to survive in this world now. We will get so distracted and bothered by this. Hmm, maybe not everybody but at least for me, I'm rather bothered in the past when I was told that I can only wash test tubes with a degree certificate. For all I know, it may not work this way at all. Yes, certificates are definitely important and valuable, however there are so many things in life that worth a lot more.

" The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."

The world have it's culture, what about your own culture?

2008-09-11T23:58:00.000+08:00

At times, I can get so emo, and I start to drown myself in my own feelings and emotions. Get suffocated in the thoughts which I don't know where they come from. Is ignoring really the best solution? Please tell me that sleep can cure it.

2008-09-10T23:47:00.001+08:00

The Tension of the Opposites

" Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted."

" A tension of opposites, like a pull in a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."

" Life is like a wrestling match."

" So which side wins?"

" Love wins. Love always wins."

2008-09-09T23:55:00.005+08:00

POP a champagne

Yay, happy POP to Aloy, Daniel, Alec, Nantha and Soon Aik! (: Happy enlisting to J too. Ahaha.. So coincidence that it's on the same day. Woke up super early at 5am, traveled down to CCK, met J then shuttled bus down to Home Team Academy. The whole presentation made police academy like a chalet to go, I really wonder if it's so OR are they just trying to please the parents there so that they will not worry too much and start asking a lot or complain. It's like you never know they might start torturing all of them after the parents leave. Haa.. So, the whole thing ended at around 12pm and I went to Pasir Ris to meet Huiling and Fiona. The journey was a dragggg and I was yawning my way thru.

Took the Penguin ferry and I had a 10 mins power nap. POP is quite interesting. The only bad thing is that they made the all the visitors wait for so long before the ceremony start and PLUS the weather is so screwingly humid. The only thing that made this trip totally worthwhile was seeing the guys so happy and most importantly healthy though most of them were down with cough and flu.

I'm so proud of them that they made it thru. :)

Sweet Affair

Happy one year anniversary, yesterday! [:] Went to career fair together at Suntec City in the afternoon. (Yeah, what a place to go I know) Haha.. But it was quite interesting tho. Super crowded and we were just following the crowd, grabbing whatever brochures that can be reached. I haven't even read any of it. Haa..

Had hotdog buns as tea break, went to play arcade and had Billy Bombers for dinner at Marina Square. I really wonder how much we spent on arcade already. It has been a while we have been paying visits to our new addiction. Quite a thrill okay! Ahaha.. :D

-

I lost my phone and a piss of ten dollar note few days back. $300 in total excluding all my priceless contacts, messages and photos. ): What a painful lesson! J told me it's alright, cause the phone might be a blessing to someone else. It does helps comforting me this way. (: Loves. Anyways, I made a police report but I don't think anything will happen. So please pardon me for asking for your identity. Thank you.

Photos!

Billy

Bombers

Lemonade float. Tasted quite weird. Their Root beer float is nicer.

This photo just make me smile (:

FOOD!

I love the way he eats the egg yoke! Haha.

The ribs were... Okay. Tony Roma's have got better ones. :D

Festival Of Praise

FOP never fails to bring me closer to God every year. This year, Parachute band was one of the worship leaders and I must say that I have never taken much notice of their songs until when I saw the lyrics and sang it from my heart. This particular song, 'Love It Leads Me' totally captured my heart and it just burrowed deep down into my head. One week passed, I still find myself singing at home, office, traveling and including all the toilet breaks!

"For your love will lead me, to the place where I can worship.. For your love will lead me, to that place.."

Truly, my heart was turned to worship no matter where I am.

Reuben Morgan from Hillsong was exceptionally good too. I think this fact is well-known by many. God's presence was pulled down so strongly and the whole of indoor stadium was so overwhelmed as every individual worship from within them. It's just so amazing how He works!

The word was given by Rev. Mark Conner. Summary of sermon:

1. The world will pass away, but our God is everlasting. So, love Him not the world. To love Him means not just believing but knowing him personally. You can tell others that your faith is in God but, faith without action = nothing.

1 John 2:17
' Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world, the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does comes not from the Father but from the world.The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. '

Goodness, this verse has been popping up before me so often these few weeks. Maybe I have been too much of a forgetful blur sotong, so God have to remind me over and over again. So sweet of Him.. Give thanks! :)

2. Love people, love your neighbour as yourself. Love last for eternity. Very often we tend to treat people according to their values and status, but He sees all the same. This includes His enemies too. We are to be like Him!

3. Investing your time, talent and resources doing His work. Think about the gifts He have placed in us and used them in the right place, in the right ministries. We are His workmanship to do GOOD THINGS, not watch tv, play PSP or party etc. Not saying we can't do things that we enjoy but they have to be done in balance. We have to break this selfish orientation in us and be a humble servant. Be a participant in building His kingdom and not a spectator. USE your talent!

Ephesians 2:10
' For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. '

-

Had a chat recently which felt a lil weird, but I'm truly amazed again by how He can teach us, His beloved children in such an unique and supernatural way. I'm blessed. Praise Him!

-

Your mercy saved me and made me whole. I will wait in patience for Your directions.

My sunflower. All died one week ago. ): They were infested with super tiny red insects which you have to look closely to see them moving and even pesticides can't whack them off my flowers. Grr..

July babies celebration and Aloy's army farewell at Newton circus. After which we went to Swensens for desserts. I hope the guys are doing fine in army now. (:

Daphne and me. Took on Esmond and Jingting's wedding. So coincidence that she is my colleague and sits just beside me in the office.

Loves (: I can't wait for next month to come!

Agar agar

I wonder if the MB students nowadays have dropped in standard or rather in common sense? Tell me about it.

Cos I saw glass slides in the biohazard bins instead of sharp bins, C-fold towels in the basins instead of normal waste bins, chemical waste stain everywhere instead of in the waste beakers, students sitting on the lab benches instead of on the chairs and students going to the toilet with their lab coats. -.-

I had a hard time doing those so called Sai-kang jobs today. Well, I guess I have to get use to it. Sigh..

Preparing hektoen enteric agar plates almost killed me today. The number of petri dishes I wasted is like WOW. Why is it so ugly and difficult to prepare?! Grr, and I have tons of plates to streak tmr.

The Z monster in me is acting up, need to catch some sleep now.

Z.

Steamboat

Today's sermon on Prosperity was very good! Especially the part when Pastor mentioned that what man can give to you is just a skin of water but what God can give is a well of water. Simply saying, man is limited but God is unlimited. We are meant to be rich in Jesus' name!

I'm richer everyday. Amen! (:

Had kfc for lunch at Kovan with Jt, Serene, Ruizhi, Zhiwei, Changputt, Kaiwen and J. Had so much nonsense that I laughed till I was literally tearing. There was this guy who pieced up a puzzle several times at different seats in the kfc. Weird. Anyway, Kaiwen and Serene left after lunch then the rest of us train to Jt's house at Sengkang, took her car to Joanne's house at Pasir ris for steamboat! Goodness, I went to so many places like as if its cny.. Bai nian. -.- Okay scrumptious meal we had anyways! (: All thanks to Joanne!

J bought me some korean snacks. CUTE! So cute till I can't bear to eat them up. Haha.

Sweet (:

Hohoho

It has been a week since I started working. I get to wear blue lanyard! And I remember during schooldays, all of us were so reluctant to wear that yellow lanyard but it's totally different feeling when it's blue.

That's because I'm paid to wear it. Hur hur.. :D

Staff lanyard

It's weird when I'm joining in as a DT but my job is actually a TSO ( Technical Support Officer). My work space is with the rest of the existing DTs which is like farawayyyy from the TSO office, I have to walk up and down all the time which can be quite annoying. But on a happier note, since I'm an (unofficial) TSO, most probably my contract is renewable. This is going to be good as I'm going to study part-time some time later. PSB Academy maybe?

It's already the 4th week according to school calendar and all the practicals are already running in the labs. So AK was like telling me that I have to pick up things real fast, wear my shoes and run. No time for me to learn to walk. Quite funny to explain to me like this. Haha.

Second thing, I have got a new phone! I must admit that I actually bought it on impulse because few days back, my old phone died like zillions times in a day. Emphasize: In A Day. There's once I had to retype a message for 5 times -.-! I got so pissed off and went down to trade away and buy W890i the next day. Felt a little Argh to have to spend that money but after exploring, I kinda love the phone now. Satisfied. (:

-

Yesterday's prayer meeting was great! Mel experienced the Holy laughter, and just by looking at her, I felt like laughing too. The joy of the Lord is that strong! (: Father, make me a prayer warrior!!

-

Was packing my cupboard and I found a long forgotten bookmark which made me smile. It says,

Lord, give me the faith, the strength and the hope to meet the challenges of each new day with a heart that's always filled with love and joy.

(: Amen!

Flies

Time flies. I'm starting working on the 28th of April.

Which. is. next. Monday. Boohoohoooo :(

I'm so going to miss loads and tons of things. New faces, new environment, new stuff to learn, more responsibilities, no more a student, less slacking time.. I can go on non-stop. Well, a small part of me is feeling excited though. (:

Dated Fiona just now. Had a fabulous meal at Cafe Cartel. All thanks to her! (: Walked around in Junction 8 and we spent most of the time in the kiddy's section in BHG with all the barbie dolls and transformers. Can't believe that some toys I saw I can't figure out how to play. -.- jialat. Fiona, I wanna go your house! When when?!

Anticipating what's going to happen next. Sigh..

2008-04-20T00:57:00.006+08:00

All glory to Him

I got the job in school! Like finally! Its a one year contract as a Development Technologist (DT). I'm thankful to Him for this job. (: All glory and praises unto Him! From the moment I decided to work first before continual of studies, I really saw how He had open ways and doors for me. The only one thing I did was just to have faith in Him. Of so many who applied for this job, and I can be the few who get chosen in the end, it's definitely God's grace! My dad actually passed me many copies of The Straits Times this few weeks but none that I flipped. Cos' I really believed that I will get this job. All my cries and prayers that I lifted to Him, He heard them all. The time and money that I gave to Him, He has blessed me back with so much more.

A few weeks ago, I took the faith on this particular sunday and emptied my wallet into the offering bag knowing that you will not have money to even eat for the coming week. Not to say shop which I'm so deprived off. It was really heart pain I tell you. BUT guess what? The next day I got the call for the second interview! (:

Through this, I have learnt an important lesson. Every cent that you placed into the offering bag, God sees it. The time that you used to serve Him, God sees it. Its not the quantity that matters but the attitude of your heart. All things belong to Him!! When you are willing to humble yourself before Him, take that leap of faith and give Him all that you have, He surely will bless you with much much more. Amen.

And thank you friends who have kept me in prayers and who have been showing concern! Loves to all.

Phillipians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I'm a mighty warrior

Shall post up some random photographs. Whoopee.

I tried to grow some sunflower dwarfs like few weeks ago. And I can't help to think about elves, fairies and fairy tales. -.- Finally after all the sunshine and rain, it grew to this:

Happy happy! (: I can't wait for these little sprouts to grow into this...

"A dwarf sunflower only two feet tall. Produces a single large flower head 10-12" in diameter. Yellow flowers with golden brown centers."

I tried to grow some chilli too. Hoho.. Gardening can get really addictive and fun can!

Wailing and I which we took on Easter Sunday. I'm missing those times at attachment.

Prawn fishing at Bishan. I'm a pro okay. Just kidding, but J was good! I wanna go again pleasey..

Daniel, the birthday boy. Clarke Quay, after dinner. Yum!

Yum yum! Super nice fish head soup I had with parents just now.

Indelible memories. loves.

The Lord is with you, mighty warrior!

Rain on me

The weather is getting so screwy recently. I'm going to fall ill if this continues.

Can nyp just call me and let me get the job? I'm running out of patience. OR just give me the letter of rejection.

I'm deprived of cash. Can someone set up a fund for me? Thank you!

Blogger is not allowing me to upload pictures. Grrr..

I love the word Assurance very much.

Very random. Goodnight.

The Word without Faith is of no value.

Furrrr

Before anything..

Happy Birthday Daniel !!

Okay, let me introduce. This is my sister's hamster, nameless yet. Its about 4 months old and has got long furry hair at the butt area where its shits always get stucked. Real cute!

Eat, sleep and play is a routine to this ball of fur.

J looks like he is trying to kill this thing. Haha.

Oh look, its sniffing out the camera! (:

2008-04-04T12:22:00.003+08:00

Fool

I went for the formal interview on April Fools' day. Hope I won't be fooled? Ha.

I thought it was a mountain to be overcome but it was actually just a grain of sand (Read on the song below) I even went to research on spectrometer and spectrophotometer for this interview. -.- Now that I come to think of it, I only have one word to describe: Silly. I could have spent the time on more purposeful things. Hahaha.. Anyway, it's over! The rest is upon God! Yayy.. (:

-

This song blew me away. Very meaningful. You got to listen and READ it! (:

So Small - Carrie Underwood

What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It's ok to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else seem
So small

Carrie Underwood's quote on So Small:

"So Small" is a feeling song on how people invest so much of their time and energy into things that aren't really important, and you don't really realize that until it's too late. We're all guilty of it, as I know I am, of just letting silly things get in the way. The smallest thing can almost ruin my day, and at some point, I realize, 'Good gracious, Carrie! What are you doing?' I have a great life, and we need to remember the things that are truly important.

2008-03-29T14:05:00.002+08:00

Reality

I'm relieved that poly life have come to an end but I'm dreading reality which will resume real soon. Sometimes I just wish life do not have to go on and I can just put away all the decision-making moments which can really make me pull all of my hairs off my head. Everyone is going on a different path now, the need of knowing what's independence makes me feel alone at times. Maybe I rely too much on others.

BUT.. I do know everything is in control. (:

I have decided to work for a year or two before resuming to studies. Yea, money money. Like the 9pm show I watched last night, Fiona Xie was like singing "money money" crazily -.-

Few weeks ago, I was called for an interview in school for the DT and TSO post. Heard that 5 of us were shortlisted and now I was called for the second formal interview with the directors. :S This time round 3/5 will be surviving. Hopefully, all goes well.

Yesterday

I heard from my sister and news that Bishan snowed. Coolios! Quite a number of my friends who live in Bishan surely would have experience it. Arghhh.. I wished it had snowed in Ang Mo Kio lah!!

Thursday

J came my house and we baked chocolate mint cookies. We realised the many differences on how we handle things. Yummy and fun (:

2008-03-23T23:01:00.001+08:00

Happy Easter Sunday! Yes, He has risen!

Glad that Wailing came today and all the nerve wrecking moments were finally over! Yay :) I think stage fright is quite impossible to be overcome, despite of the countless presentations I had in school. Sigh. I was shivering so badly. I guess I surely look totally retarded on the screen. Sigh.. Its a good experience tho.

Granny is hospitalised. Hope she get well soon! She is rather cute in some sense.

2008-03-19T19:12:00.005+08:00

I searched my name on dictionary.com and it says:

Lydia

An ancient country of west-central Asia Minor on the Aegean Sea in present-day northwest Turkey. Noted for its wealth and the magnificence of its capital, Sardis, it may have been the earliest kingdom to use minted coins (seventh century B.C.).

Ezek. 30:5 (Heb. Lud), a province in the west of Asia Minor, which derived its name from the fourth son of Shem (Gen. 10:22). It was bounded on the east by the greater Phrygia, and on the west by Ionia and the AEgean Sea.

A woman of Thyatira, a "seller of purple," who dwelt in Philippi (Acts 16:14, 15). She was not a Jewess but a proselyte. The Lord opened her heart as she heard the gospel from the lips of Paul (16:13). She thus became the first in Europe who embraced Christianity. She was a person apparently of considerable wealth, for she could afford to give a home to Paul and his companions.

A female given name.

-.-

Have you tried always being the one who ended up giving in? Even for those stupidly unreasonable things? It feels utterly bad to swallow these feelings up. Unappreciated.

2008-03-17T23:40:00.002+08:00

Bon Voyage friends! Have fun..

while I'm here dealing with flu and sorethroat. Grr.

Happy Birthday Yong Siang! (:

Monday

Celebrated my birthday with Jair. Caught The leap years. Quite a nice movie considering it a local one. At least something different from other locals. To be realistic, I don't think it will ever happen in real life? Li Ann (Li Lin) was very brave to have waited so long for Jeremy (Ananda). That requires so much faith! Communication is so important and yet they can talk just once a year. Goodness...

AND Jeremy committed adultery. I would have chosen KS (Yu Wu) if I was her. KS is a good husband material. Haha.. Oh, I had my cake instead of popcorns during the show. (: How nice! Loves!

Quoted from the movie:
"A person often meets his destiny on the way he took to avoid it."

Walked almost aimlessly everywhere in town then headed over to Marina Square. Had dinner at Pasta de Waraku. Its the most yummy one compared to the previous twice I went! (: This is how you really enjoy life heck caring about time when there's nothing much on your mind.

Clam Chowder soup

Bacon Oyster Carbonara

Ebi Scallops Pizza

Oreo Banana Ice Cream

YUM!!

(:

Tuesday

Celebrated March babies birthday with clique at Chompchomp. Loads of yummy food again and my first time eating PaperWrapChicken. Haha.. Alot of talks and laughters too (: Went to Liquid Kitchen and I had Hazelnut Martini which has a very interesting taste! But I got bored with it after a while -.- Got my present and I love it! Thanks friends and Fiona the host, who had a hard time organising it! (:

Here In My Life

I have never walked on water
Or felt the waves beneath my feet but
At your Word Lord
I receive your Faith to walk on oceans deep
And I remember how You found me
In the very same place
All my failings surely would have drowned me
Still you made a way

You are my freedom
Jesus you're the reason
I'm kneeling again at your throne
Where would I be without You
Here in my Life, Here in my Life

You have said that
All the heavens
Sing for joy at one who finds the
Way to freedom
Truth of Jesus
Brought from death into His life
And I remember how You saw me
Through the eyes of Your grace
All the cost was Your beloved before me
Still you made a way

This song just set me in awe. Sang it during the 3rd Synod Youth Ministry Leadership Camp. So enjoy and be blessed! (:

2008-03-08T23:23:00.007+08:00

Wanted to post these photos long ago. My Thailand trip during Feb (:

Had good food ALL my meals over there! Its either buffet or restaurant or seafood! YUM!

Their Sunday market is really hugeeee. The stalls are like our pasar malam. They even sell small animals.
I just love this baby orangutan! cute!

Most of the photos are of animals cos the Safari World in Thailand was extremely interesting! I got really up close to the animals and this is definitely something you can never experience in Singapore Zoo. And you don't have to walk under the hot sun in Safari World cos its like a drive-thru. You just have to sit in the comfy van, open the windows (with the air-con on hahaha) and the van will drive really slowly. How cool is that?! (:

2008-03-01T00:10:00.000+08:00

The Altar and the Door

Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong-way-travelin'-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner of my cold, cold heart

Lord, this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...

Cry, like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
I try but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door

Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
How could I ever falter
What You've shown me to be right

I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Jesus, I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me

Oh Lord, I

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Attachment

Attachment ended and I'm so glad I can SLACKSLACKSLACK and sleep late. Wheeeeee...... :D

All of a sudden, it feels so good to do nothing!

Memories.

Qiagen, lab maths, reports, lunches, people and The Bacchus, I will always remember (:

HAPPY BLESSED BIRTHDAY YASMINE CHEONG! :D

Joy

My head is so heavy now. It's falling off my neck.

Today's sermon was great. Knocked my head so hard that I realised how little I have done. I need to push myself out of the comfort zone and goooooooooooooo the extra mile for Him. Seriously.

I always tell myself that I will be blessed when I serve. But deep in me I know I'm still a little reluctant. Because it's so hard to go into the His presence during praise and worship at the back with so much distraction, needless to say during sermon too. Okay, partially its my fault cos I get distracted easily.

However, He showed me the positive side of it today. And that warmest Joy I ever felt as I serve was great! Now I'm more convinced that I can do a better job.

Ushering always seems like an insignificant and easy job. IT'S NOT OKAY.

-Purple flowers for Fiona. Just wanna thank you (:

A burden for people. How true is that?

2008-02-16T23:57:00.006+08:00

Happy sixth month (:
I realised things always don't turn out the way we want on this particular day.
But still, I love what you did for me especially that little surprise. loves.

要谢谢爱让我学会宽容,体谅,关怀.

2008-02-16T23:50:00.000+08:00

I should have controlled my feelings.
I should have explained myself in a nicer way.
I should have learn to appreciate more.
I should have been less selfish and more sensitive.
I shouldn't have think about it in the negative way.

Maybe I shouldn't have spoken at all.
I'm really really sorry.

2008-02-14T16:44:00.004+08:00

Happy Valentine's Day to all! (:

Everybody wants to feel special. That includes me. How about you?

2008-01-31T23:15:00.000+08:00

Try this.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

Lol.

Yesterday, I met a really nice female bus 95 driver in the morning. It was super overcrowded as usual and I was the last few to sardined thru. So I was standing at steps, Mdm Hoe (I managed to see her name tag wahaha) stood up and grabbed my hand, asked the passengers nearby to give a little more space for me to go up the steps and then place my hand to hold on a metal railing. Gasps for air.. Okayyy, behind me was a guy, so Mdm Hoe asked him to exchange place with a girl who was behind him because standing at the door is more dangerous? Most probably I guess. The door was about to close, 2 guys dashed to the door. Without hesitation, Mdm Hoe asked for their ezlink cards, tapped for them and asked them to enter thru the back door since typical singaporeans don't like to move to the rear even after much begging from her. As she drove pass the next stop, she gave an apologetic hand signal to the passengers waiting at the stop.

She really went the extra miles to do so many things in just 10 minutes. For a moment I feel like giving her a hug and tell her that she made my day! And no wonder she is a SENIOR bus captain (her name tag said so).

2008-01-28T21:58:00.000+08:00

Edited.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Okay finally! Still can be improved but I'm lazy.

Done with reference tho.

Off to catch Coffee prince!! (:(:

Saturday

During Pizzahut meal, Danielle and Yiting told me it's possible to stand-sleep in the train. Goodness. Maybe I should try that one day? But I think probably I will end up lying on the floor since when you sit-sleep, your head will unconsciously nods lower and lower till your head reaches your knees. Same logic applies when you stand-sleep isn't it?

Colossian 1:16,17

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

I found something interesting!!

The Anthropic Principle

The Anthropic Principle says that all the seemingly arbitrary and unrelated constants in physics have one strange thing in common - these are precisely the values you need if you want to have the universe capable of producing life. In essence, the anthropic principle came down to the observation that all the myriad laws of physics were fine-tuned from the very beginning of the universe for the creation of man - that the universe we inhabit appeared to be expressly designed for the emergence of human beings.

So some of the constants and values that must be precise for human life and on earth specifically are:

1. Oxygen comprises 21 percent of the atmosphere. If it were 25 percent, fires would erupt. If 15 percent, human beings would suffocate.

2. If the gravitational force were altered by one part in 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that should be 41 zeros :D), the sun would not exist, and our beautiful moon would either crash into the earth or sheer off into space.

3. Even a slight increase in the force of gravity would result in all stars being much more massive than our sun, with the effect that the sun would burn too rapidly and erratically to sustain life.

4. If the universe were expanding at a rate one-millionth (think about that!!), just one-millionth slower, the temperature on earth would be 10,000 degrees Celsius.

5. A slight variation in the speed of light would alter the other constants of physics and prevent the possibility of life on earth. (Currently the speed of light in vacuum is defined as 299,792,458 metres per second. Wikipedia)

6. If Jupiter were not in its current orbit, our humble planet would be bombarded with space material. Jupiter's gravitational field acts as a cosmic vacuum cleaner, attracting asteroids and comets that would otherwise strike earth. (to help you understand better :D Wikipedia)

7. If the rotation of the earth took longer than 24 hours, temperature differences would be too great between night and day. If the rotational period were shorter, atmospheric wind velocities would be too great.

So much for random chance?

Btw, all this mind-spinning information is not a recent discovery. All I can say is that the earth is designed just for us by an Intelligent Designer! Don't you feel special? (:

-

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?

Happy Blessed Birthday Mama! (:

Went to the newly opened Botak Jones near my house to eat just now. FABULOUS! Had large fish and chips, rosemary lamb chop and super big chicken hotdog set. It tasted so much better than the previous time I went with my classmates. This time, no hard rock cajun chicken ( you know rock?) and minced meat textured beef. *grins

Super full. Now I feel so fat.

Pictures!

30th December 2007

Edwin and Hanzhong in church (:

My bestie valentine! (Shout: Together, we build our home!)

Newton Circus after meal scene. Super duper yummy food! *Burps

Was too hungry that I forgotten to take a photo of the before meal.

The guys wanted to play that "1-99" game. Does this game have an english name?? Anyways, the girls didnt want to play because loser have to eat a spoonful of oily spicy chilli. Gosh..

So we got to choose the number for them to play. Haha..

Baocheng and his spoon.

Edwin thinking very hard..

He still lost in the end. Alec is smirking at him. Haha!

Now Edwin is grinning madly at Wilson..

THE MAN.

Now, Who still want to play?

We went Junction8 to slack around. My girlfriends! (: (: (:

Okay, not really.

My boss is just a few cm away from me only.
I feel like telling her:
"Can I have half day on Monday? Please?"

-.- okay, I'm thinking too much.

Rarrr..

It has been such a long time since I blogged or visited any blogs. Kinda miss blogging but am currently restricted by the amount of time I have everyday. Attachment really took up whole load of my freedom I used to have. I guess many of my classmates would have agree with this and I count myself very blessed because many need to work OT very often. More often than me.

Tiring, tough, taxing, strenuous, boring, unreasonable, overloaded blablabla attachment may be, I guess that's how working life is like. So I have learnt to look positively, tho at times I still complain (to relieve stress). Haha..

So far, I have learnt alot, regardless of I like or don't, relevant or not towards my course, they are everything which I didn't learn in school. So yea, I really give thanks for this (: They added some colours to my resume.

BUT... I really miss school alot. I miss sitting together with all my classmates, attending all the boring lectures, eating in the canteen and all the crap. I think I have said all these many times before. But I can't help but to say it all over again. (:

Psalm 100:4,5

Vision

The foundation of a church is the vision which God has given and the Holy Spirit speaks to each church individually. A vision keeps the church united and serve as a motivating force for its members to hold on to the vision in their hearts and unity in the church will become reality.

Unity does now simply mean that all are saved and have the Spirit of God. True unity is a working unity. Everyone needs to be committed and moving forward in the same direction, working towards a common goal. This is not about yourself. Instead, it involves every church members! Everyone has to be committed to the word God has given and wants nothing more than to see it fulfilled. It may take time but God never fails in his promises!

I'm starting to love the 1 and half hour of traveling time in the morning so so so much! (: Cos that's the time I receive so much from God through songs and a book! Loves!

Blogging from my work place now. I have nothing to do. -.- Or rather I didn't do much for the whole week already. Seems like everybody here is slacking too. They make me feel less guilty (:

I miss all my girlfriends in school! ):

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
And he who wins souls is wise.

2007-09-16T11:50:00.000+08:00

Lord, I just wanna say thank you! Because I love this day to bits. (:

2007-09-12T22:14:00.000+08:00

Obey

Obeying God means being committed to the word of God. Yes, sometimes it is just difficult to obey because no one is perfect. But it is His will that we obey. Thus when God speaks, we have to obey! Even if others dislike your obedience or the way in which you obey, you must still do it! You may try to explain to them as best as you can, but whether others listens to you or not, whether others obey or not, you have to set out regardless what!

Because in heaven, God will not ask, " What did everyone think of what I asked you to do? " but, " Did you do what I asked you? "

Lord, I give You my heart and my song!

Prayers and opportunities

How many times have we prayed for things and we felt that our prayer had not been answered? Have God not heard our prayers? Or was it us who have not taken time to understand and experience His touches he have placed upon us? Have we really understood the real purpose of prayers?

"God says:

Let me ask you something. If someone prayed for patience, do you think God gives him patience? Or does He gives him the opportunity to be patient?

If someone prayed for courage, does God give him courage? Or does He give him opportunities to be courageous?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps the family with warm fuzzy feelings? Or does He give them opportunities to love each other?"

-Quotation from Evan Almighty

Yes, let's ask ourselves this:

How many times have we seize and grab the opportunities God have given us and worked on it?

God has always been there! He listens to our every prayer and keeps us in His sight on everything that we are doing at every moment. He creates and place opportunities/trials for us to stretch our limits and deepen our faith. BUT it is us who have to be willing to take up the opportunities in order for God to work on us and develop us!

Matthew 7:7-8

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."

However, please note: This does not apply to selfish or sinful prayers, only good and truthful prayers will be entertained. Examine the motives of your heart!

James 4:2,3

"You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you did not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."

Psalm 67:17
"If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not listen."

- - - - -

I still can't get myself to accept the fact that I have to travel one and a half hour to get to my work place. Oh well... Shall skip that.

First day of attachment

My papa fetched Aloy from buona vista mrt station. We reported late due to the rain, traffic jam, could not find the place and we got stucked outside the company's door cos the doorbell was spoilt. Took quite some time to fill and sign various forms. Ended up taking them home and finish. We went for 3 levels of lab tours and helped to do some stocktaking. Was given a piece of paper full of inorganic chemistry questions to do! goodness -.- Met new friends! (: One from NTU, two from TP and a few of the staff there.

Second day of attachment

Didn't do much today. Was reading GLP, protocols and journals for the whole day. Okay, I did surf blogs and chat on msn too. Hahaha. I get to sit on chairs with rollers! Was so bored that I rolled about in the office, touch here and there. If not stare blankly into the air. Time just pass so slowlyyyy. The best part of the day was my dinner! (: loves!

God's answers are wiser than our prayers.

Five Loaves and Two Fishes - Corrinne May

A little boy of thirteen
was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing
and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening
to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom,
even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly
the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry
but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunch box
at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do
there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child
he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
to feed them all"

I often think about that boy
when I'm feeling small
and I worry that the work I do
means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry
is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face
I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small
I trust in you
I trust in you

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small

- - - - -

This song spoke my heart and everything that I wanna tell God but couldnt express myself in words. I cried as I relate myself to this song. As I think of my burdens and fears, I feel so small! The amount of faith I have is way too little compared to this boy. Have I not seen all the miracles in the Bible? Have I not seen miracles in people's lives? Have I not seen miracles happening right before my eyes? But yet I'm still lacking of so much faith.

All I need is just a little more faith.

Lord, reveal to me your calling.
Teach me to trust in You.

2007-09-02T23:44:00.000+08:00

I'm posted to ~~Allogenix~~ Attogenix Biosystems at Buona Vista for attachment along with Aloy, Elizabeth and Miao Hui. (: Tho its kinda far, but I know I'm posted there for a reason. Will be dealing with DNA , RNA extraction and all the PCRs. Sounds boring to me -.- cos I guess I will be doing the same routine stuff everyday.

Saturday
Went to west coast for a church youth outing and got myself burnt. My face and arms are so red and itchy now -.- Its fun! When I have Fiona and Edwin around, extra fun!! Didnt know that Fiona can climb the huge pyramid that fast and Edwin can play soccer so well. (:

Sunday
Went to ~~Yasmin's~~ Yasmine's School of Theology graduation in the morning. Its definitely an encouragement for me to see the fire and passion in each of the graduating SOT student. (: I want more fire! Thanks for the fabulous dinner, mummy!! May the power, grace and love of God con't and fill you every single day!

- - - - -

Sometimes it feels good not doing anything and walking aimlessly on the streets. Just merely enjoying the nature, breeze, moon and stars can really brighten up my day. (:

My 16 Ferrero Roses! (:

When you think that all that is good,
give your thanks to God.

Able to Forget?

One of the most precious gift God has given us is the ability to remember. There are plenty of hurts and disappointments in life that we should forget. But good memories become a treasure chest of priceless reminders of relationship shared and joys experienced.

Be like Paul in the Bible. His ability to remember his friends in Philippi brought him great comfort as he awaited trial in Rome, prompting him to joyfully pray for them. You could never have convinced him that comfort was found in being able to forget, because he rejoiced in being able to remember.

God gave us cherished memories. Cling to them when sorrows come. Never let today's burden erase yesterday's blessing.

Where is the heart that does not keep

Within its inmost store

Some fond remembrane hidden deep

Of days that are no more?

Phil 1:3

I thank my God everytime I remember you.

Give us the eyes of love

So we'll always see

The goodness in each other,

Secure us, Lord, in Thee.

2007-08-25T01:27:00.000+08:00

My angel tamagotchi died twice at 3 years old! This shows that I'm not a good owner cos I can't even take care of this non-living thing. Really wonder how the rest can keep until 7 years old. Haha! Anyway I'm lazy to reset. So for now, it will remain dead.

2 more papers to go! EVERYBODY CHIONG AHHHHH!-.-
I really can't wait for everything to be over. So deprived of sleep ):

Very soon I will know my attachment site and who I will partner with. I know God will put me in the right place, for the right job and for the right people. (:

Caedmon's Call - Love Grows Love

You said to “put on a happy face”
on a high school stage
but I read what you really meant
in your handwriting on a Bible page
you waited like you told me
though we knew it right away,
it took eight and a half more yearsto finally say

I fell in love with you
and that love became something new
it keeps getting stronger
than we ever could have longed
love keeps growing more love

when we got the news
we had to call our families
and start painting the room
a nice, bright blue

our vows they started breathing
and they took on flesh and blood
and we held them in our arms
and tasted God was good

I fell in love with you
and that love became something new
it added a name and it added a smile
it keeps getting bigger every further mile

there on your bended knee
we sewed the seeds of our history
they’re coming up stronger
than we ever could have longed
love keeps growing more love

if love is an echo of the heart
the heart is a canyon
that stretches wild and free
without an end
and breaks through every wall
that holds us in

I’m on the other side of the world
to see what changed you so
my heart breaks with the broken
and it dances with the hope
you told me I would find here
but I could not understand
until I’m walking here beside you
hand in hand

(: nice song!

- - - - -

Lord, please show us Your ways,
teach us Your paths,
guide us in Your truth.
for You are God our saviour,
and we place all our hopes in You.
Lord, teach us to love You
more than anything else.
Amen

Oh ya, something random.

Was suppose to be a baby angel?!!

Looked more like a worm to me. Haha.

After mutation. Now with wings!

I'm deprived of childhood -.-

2007-08-14T02:15:00.000+08:00

Last friday is the last day of school.
Not really last day tho. Cos we have to come back for exams.
Time flies.
Memories (:
I'm lazy to type..

Huiling is forever so happy. (:

The door is open for me.

Byee.

Slacking around outside lecture hall.

Thanks valentine, yet again!

I'm so so so blessed.

Give thanks!

2007-08-09T13:49:00.000+08:00

I went to FOP last friday. I know I'm very very slow to blog about this now. BUT.. IT'S STILL GREAT IN ANY WAYS!! :D

I was really not feeling well that day. The good thing was that school ended early. So I went to see the doctor after school, headed home, ate medicine and ~~forced to (:~~ sleep. Then went back to school to meet the rest and went down to the indoor stadium. The whole event plus the atmosphere was so magnificent and massive! Really enjoyed myself there tho I was coughing so badly like as if I am going to die any time... -.- I guess only Fiona will understand. Haha.

The whole time there made me felt like I have such a gigantic family. You can just go and talk to anybody sitting around you knowing that you will not be ignored. Not like you can do this in Orchard road right? LOL.

The stage.

My 2 sisters in Christ. (: (:

Edwin, Hanzhong, Huiling, fiona and me

All Praises to the Lord!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! (:

National Day Celebration in school yesterday! It was quite fun. At least better than last year. I'm so proud of Anwar and Nantha! (: More photos..

I think Huiling enjoyed the most that day. Super hyper. Hahaha. Only my class will understand why.

Dr How's son.

John is so cuteeee! I so wanna pinch his cheeks! Rarrrrrrr! (:

His daughter.

Faith is adorable and sweet! (: Another super hyper one.

My beloved girlfriends. I will never get enough of them. (:

Bye Auditorium.

I guess this will be the last time I sit in there.
Till graduation day?

- - - - - - - - - -

I deleted some stuff from my phone few days back. Hesitated for quite long before I actually do so. Glad that I managed to do it cos I guess it's time to let go of certain things and make space for collection of new memories. Everyone loves to collect good memories. Don't we?

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His LOVE endures forever.

Psalm 107:1

2007-08-02T22:04:00.000+08:00

YAYY.

Finally all the projects are gone forever and ever and and ever! I'm feeling much lighter now, at least. But I know this feeling definitely won't last long, cos 3 tests are already lined up next week, and exams will follow.

Oh, has been quite some time since i uploaded any photos from my phone.. Here they are! (:

Adorable sunday school kids reciting Bible verses in Church!

I did the same thing when I was young. Haha.

In tutorial room slacking around. Heh.

Unacceptable attire/appearance in nyp -.-

I seriously don't think any nyp student actually follows this. Haha.

Grape gummy.
Thanks, my apple pie valentine! (:

After Comm Skills, on our way to North canteen to lunch and to pretend we are students from business school. Haha. We were fascinated by something interesting. We played and laughed over this thing for a while before moving on :D

The end product. LOL!!

[:] With much JOY.

We will crown You, King forever!

LIFE IS JUST A TEST!

Life on earth is just a test. Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test. You are always being tested. When you understand that life is a test, you realise that nothing is insignificant in your life. Even the smallest incident has significant for your character development. Everyday is an important day and every second is a growth opportunity to deepen your character.

SO SMILE OKAYYY!? (:

- - - - -

Yes! I know that God will never allow those tests to be greater than the grace he gives me to handle them. (: He wants me to pass the tests of life! He keeps his promise and he will not allow me to be tested beyond my power to remain firm. He will give me strength to endure it and so provide me a way out. So I MUST smile! Hahaha.

Bless are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

This is so cool?! Found on deviantart. The owner drew it with a red ink pen. Yesss, just a normal most probably $0.90 red pen.

When you do something extraordinary.

I saw miracles today with my own eyes. All the healing of deafness, fractures and pain just disappeared when the word of wisdom was spoken. I'm so amazed.

- - - - -

There is nothing such as 'not enough' when you are standing in God's kingdom.
So put all the worldly stuff aside and know your priorities right.
(:

Happy Belated Birthday my apple pie valentine. Forgotten to add this in previously :l God loves you much and I love you much too! (:

Love is a Miracle.

2007-07-11T20:43:00.000+08:00

Will you slow dance with me?

Sometimes I really dislike life. It seems to force me to be always rushing to get somewhere, especially poly life. Sometimes, I don't even know what I'm rushing for. In this matter, I nearly lost my temper today. I really really need to learn to slow down my pace of life and enjoy the music before it ends. Life is short.

- - - -

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.

When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder,
"Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

I have nothing more to ask for.
I love, because You first loved me.
Give thanks (:

2007-07-05T01:34:00.000+08:00

I just love Wednesdays (:
It drains my energy physically but charges my energy spiritually!
I'm sooooooooo looking forward to Sunday!
Okay, I really miss my pillow now.
Gonna be a long day ahead.

直到世界尽头 (:
I'm truly thankful

Tell you a story.

A man was invited to the home of some friends for dinner. The food was superb except for the apple pie. Even so, he found something good to say about the pie.

Several weeks later, the man visited the friends again for dinner. This time, they had a cheery pie that was absolutely delicious. But the visitor didn't say one word about it. This bothered the hostess, so she finally blurted out," The last time you were here, I served you a pie that I was ashamed of, yet you were complimentary. Tonight I've served what I think is the best pie I've ever made, and you haven't said a word. Why?"

The man smiled and replied," The cheery pie tonight was fantastic, and the apple pie you served last time was not as good as this one. So you see, the apple pie needed more praise!"

Our relationships with people are like that - some need more encouragement than others. No matter how imperfect a person may seems or how poorly he performs, we should always try to find something to commend. All around us are discouraged people, perhaps even in our homes, who need "a good word" from us to cheer them up.

[I felt a little guilty after reading this. I could have been more encouragous alot of times (in school especially) but I failed to be. Nvm, I shall improve. Let's all look for ways to give those who needed some encouragement. (instead of all the gossip)]

Random..

A tiny grape that I admired for like 5 minutes before I ate it. You can see I even took a few photos of it. This is just one of the photos. WAHAA -.-

It was only a kindly word,
And a word that was lightly spoken,
Yet not in vain, for it stilled the pain
Of a heart that was nearly broken

2007-06-30T00:11:00.000+08:00

FINALLY I left one more to go. Cell Communication on Monday.
And after that I will be choked to death by all the project presentations.

Had NewYork NewYork at Hub for lunch. It was not bad, had 14 of us there. Had lotsa fun making the candy floss ourselves. We concluded that Huiling is not a very good candy floss maker. LOL! We asked her to turn the chopstick when collecting the floss like how u use a fork to eat spaghetti but she end up twisting her hand instead. Kinda cute tho :D

TRANSFORMERS is so uber exciting alright! Jiawen, Hanzhong, Aloy, Wilson and me went to watch it after lunch. CATCH IT YOU WONT REGRET! Heh, I like the name StarScream, especially in chinese. Its called 星星叫! I still can't get over it! It's really hilarious okay! I think of it and I can laugh at it all over again. That's how hilarious it is. The rest of the bad guys are Megatron, Barricade, Blackout and Frenzy (that punynoisyirritatingcunning fellow). The good ones are Bumble Bee (rocks!), Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide and Ratchet. The worldwideweb and ebay thingy is kinda funny too (:

Next, random topic.

Many times in relationships, you often think what's the purpose of your partner/boyfriend/girlfriend in your life such as what this person can do for you now and in the future, whether the this person has fulfilled or passed the 'criteria' to be your the other half, whether this person is handsome/pretty, trustworthy, humorous, caring, patient, forgiving etc enough or not.... But how many times do you think the other way round? What's the purpose of YOURSELF in his/her life? What can YOU do for him/her now and in the future? This is indeed a good question to ponder about. This is just one of the many things I learnt from church camp recently.

3 sentences and 1 verse carried me through the obstacles and those emotional setbacks that I faced recently. Give thanks (:

Use me again
Your mercies follow me
For all my days

John 11:40
Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the GLORY of God?"

More than meets the eye.

MY HEART JUST SCREAMED:

THE BATTLE IS YOURS!

I stand in one unshakeable kingdom. Passing events cannot shake me, for in You I am UNSHAKEABLE.. I am so deeply thankful. Really(:

2007-06-17T02:53:00.001+08:00

Okay great. A quick summary before I lose the mood to blog.
Went for a brother-in-christ's Commission Ball at Grand Hyatt Hotel just now. Real fun and cool! This place totally reminds me of my graduation night in secondary school. The most interesting part was that one of the guys actually proposed to his 3 years 9 months girlfriend right infront of everyone in the ballroom. How romantic... :D The plan was made known to everyone except for his gf (obviously) before the dinner started.

She was sabotaged to the stage to 'play' a game and being blindfolded.

As she was blindfolded and 'playing' the game, the guys quickly form the wordings on the floor just infront of the stage using light sticks. Lights went switched off. It was really a beautiful scene.. Everybody gathered around the stage, like a small indoor stadium. Haha.

Mok, who proposed, sang a song (专属天使) to her..

She heard it and took off her blindfold.

Mok knelt infront of her and said a speech of romantic stuff with the ring on his hand. As he say 'Will you marry me?', the other guys at the floor also knelt down and repeated 'Will you marry me?'.

The girl accepted! :D

However, Mok placed the ring on the right hand instead of the left. LOL
Too nervous I guess.

Everybody requested that they should kiss!

And they live happily ever after! (:

I guess the girl was too touched and stunned to say anything.

Cos she was so shy to even thank everybody. Haha..

Some other photos..

Group photo!

Eby & I outside the ballroom.

In the ballroom.

Okay, thats all. Sleepyness.

platonic friendship is rare (:

I was supposed to be in school today at 10am for tutorials but I woke up at 1045am. Realised that I was too tired yesterday night and fell asleep with my handphone in my hand. Went to school at 12 for another tutorial tho. Anyway, it was quite a waste of time :l I was feeling so sleepy throughout.

Some people came to me after tutorials and made some interesting comments. I thought it was quite funny especially the 'pluck rose' part said by Daniel. Creative thinking. haha..

I told myself that I must wake up at 5pm to revise my work before my afternoon nap jus now. But I woke up 630pm instead. Checked my phone and realised I set my alarm at 5am. How nice...

I kinda panicked for 5.467 seconds immediately after I woke up thinking that its already friday morning and spent another 3.723 seconds thinking whether am I late for tutorial again. Feel so retarded as I recall and that I actually blog this out. LOL

Oh btw, yanyan biscuit is nice.. But not the one with cheese cream [eeks]
I feel hungry again -._-

I must believe that I possess the supernatural power
at
all
times!!

It's rather difficult I realised ):

GOSH! ~~joshua~~ SHAYDEN IS SO SUPER DUPER UBER CUTE! :D This is one of Fiona's nephews if I never remember wrongly. She got too many little kids in her family, I can't remember who is who already. HAHA. Oh well, that's not the main point here.

~~joshua~~ Shayden IS CUTE (: This is the song occasionally I will sing in south canteen before lunch. Huiling and Fiona always refused to sing with me ): Shayden is smart! He knows when does the 'yum yum' comes in the song and when to say 'Amen'.

I'm looking forward to Wednesday (:

2007-06-07T10:56:00.000+08:00

Happy belated (oops) Birthday Yiting!
You love that dirty birthday surprise don't you?! LOL

Thanks for being such a great friend who always remembers me (: I miss pinching your cheeks! Don't forget to share with me your dirty little secret okay! heh heh...

Emerge! Youth Conference '07 - I CAN DO ALL THINGS

This is definitely the most exciting and fulfilling 4 days I enjoyed this year!
The preaching of the Word by Pastor Kong is sooo annointing, inspiring and encouraging! For the past 4 days, I have been waking up very early just to travel to Expo, meet my church mates, queue up together under the extremely warm weather, crack lame jokes, skipped proper meals, 'chiong' to get good seats and most importantly we worshipped and learnt alot together.

Before the whole conference, I actually only planned to go for 2 days because there are simply too many plans and school work to deal with. However after the first day, I was so touched and decided to just put all my plans and school work aside, slow down my pace of life and just enjoy the presence of the Lord for these 4 days. How much I wish I can have this kind of event everyday.. maybe just 1 hour daily would be enough :D

Thru out the 4 days, I'm so physically worn out (esp now), but I am so spiritually filled and satisfied. The experience I encountered through this conference is undescribleable with words.

I really hope that fire in me to serve God will continue and persist.

To 'boring' and 'valentine': I'm so touched by the 2 of you (: You guys are my prayer answered! God will surely bless both of you so abundantly and we shall pray together and impact those friends around us okay! You know who I mean la. Haha! For the Bible says in Matt 18:19-20 "Again, I tell you that if two of you agree on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

I wanna wanna wanna tell you guys what I have learnt! But my mana left 0.1%. I bet there are many grammer vocab mistakes above. haha but who cares?! :D

good night!

Who am I
That You would know me from the start
Set me apart
Who am I
That You would place eternity
Into my heart.

William Tell - Maybe Tonight

Sometimes you get what you want.
Sometimes you get what you need.
Sometimes you find everything in me.
There's times it doesn't make sense
And I can barely believe that you still find anything in me.

I'm coming apart.
I'm coming to you.
This game has pushed you so far.
Can you pull me through?

Maybe tonight,
Maybe tonight,
Maybe tonight well find a place between you and me.

The cost is selling you short.
The life, it gets in the way
I finally feel strong enough to brave
The words that I couldn't keep but always meant to say.
How can we find the time to fill this space?

I'm coming apart.
I'm coming to you.
This game has pushed you so far.
Can you pull me through?

Maybe tonight,
Maybe tonight,
Maybe tonight well find a way,
Maybe tonight well find a place between you and me.

We're so close, just make it stay.
I haven't lived to feel this way.
Its been down, but were not out.
This is all I need right now.

Sometimes you get what you want.
Sometimes you get what you need.
Sometimes you find everything in me.

Maybe tonight,
Maybe tonight,
Maybe tonight well find a way,
Maybe tonight well find a place between you and me.

Hmm.. have alot of stuff on my mind.
Well, good night still!

I sounded pathetic previously. So I decided to remove it and replace with this:

Projects! -.-
Drug Development : Fiona, Jiawen, Huiling, Alec and me
Proteomics : Fiona, Jiawen, Alec, Daniel, Edwin, Denglu and me
Comm Skills & PCT : Fiona, Jiawen, Huiling, Alec, Daniel, Denglu and me
Essential Business : Fiona, Jiawen, Huiling, Alec and me
SFG : Aloy, Alec, Daniel, Anwar and me

However, despite of what happened, it's truly a blessing in disguise I must say. There's so much to learn from this incident. Guess it was meant to happen so that I can learn. Thanks to friends who listened, gave advices and all. Prayers really can do miracles.

Our Almighty God listens to every prayer, keep his promises and expect us to keep ours too.

I have alot to say, but for some reason, I can't remember a single thing now. Maybe its getting late and my brain is dead. So let the photos do some talking then! (:

My new boyfriend.

Me, Mel and KK
