15th Day of CNY... The last day of celebration

Thank God that its a brand new day,
Thank God that each day is a new day!
I guess that are many things that contributed to make today a
WONDERFUL DAY!

First is God who came thru for me,
i mean there's a breakthrough for me.
I've been in a state of confusion of wat i wanna do;
I came here looking for something,
and getting that something,
but the one prob is...

I DUNNO WAT that something is.

As i had a breakfast talk with an associate,
the picture i had in me is still as clear as it is.
I'm no long like a drug addict in addiction,
constantly not knowing what is going on ard me.

The second thing was that i had fun today.
Coming here for so long,
this place is nothing but a boring retirement location.
But we found fun tdy,
we went BOWLING!!!
(Btw, I'm L).

Nice man who taught us how to bowl.

AND I WON!

I WON AGAIN!!

YES!!! I WON ALL 3 ROUNDS!!!

Then hor, this clubhse got alot things to play lor... The next thing we played was the basketball machine!!! But then we tied! So no pics to show... no winner, no picture lor...

The next challenge was the HOCKEY TABLE, which i sucked at it BIG TIME!

Its a 6:1 game... I got thrashed :*(

After all that exercise, very hungry u know... SO! Since its PURIM! We went to feast!!! SPAGATTIMS!

HIS! (He say taste so-so only)

MINE! (But I think not nice leh)

Just when i tot that its the end of our PURIM 2007,
another surprise awaits for me when i came online.

I been quite concern with you, and how you are coping.
And i felt bad rushing abt in Sg,
and yet not have time with you. It was all abt me,
how little time i had, and me tired, and sad,
and blah blah blah.

But THANK GOD for his faithfulness!
That u are walking out of your frame,
and into the light.

QW & I are your cheerleading team,
waving our invisible pom poms to cheer u on.
Though i know that even if i were with you physcially,
there is nothing i can do for you.
But i tot that the least i could offer u
was companionship for the moment.

Now being so far away,
God showed me that the only thing
and the best thing i can do for you is to pray.
And He also showed me that prayers
are far more powerful than me physically there.
Its of great comfort & encouragement to me.

So, 加油吧！
I believe many of your frens
and myself got you covered in prayers. ^_^

My Current Meow Hse

I guess since my last post abt me moving,
i have not been able to post any pics for u all to see.

Simply becos i have no camera,
and its also diffcult to borrow when i have shifted alittle too far,
than jus next door to my frens.

Now i think its a pretty good time to show u where i live and how my apartment looks like...

why???

Oh... cos i bought a new toy,
and this new toy has a camera which i can make do to show u all some pics...

See so many footwear rite?!!!

Sweet dreams

你说我们很甜蜜，
我真的觉得还好，
因为应该是我自己一人觉得爽吧。

我早已经放弃了；
对他任何的期望/奢望应该都是零。
因为希望/期望也可种压力，
让人不舒服的一种力量。

我想你应该知道我在说什么吧

所以现在的我只想尽情享受，
享受对别人有好感的感觉，
享受那种喜欢他的感觉，
享受那快乐的感觉，

CNY Dream - Part 01

Think my first day back in Sg really started off in the right foot,
*GRIN*
Cos the moment i turn on my mobile, within secs,
i rx a sms, asking me if i am back in Sg...
It was indeed a pleasant surprise,
so the sms conversation continued
and i grab the chance to pin point the date to meet up.

Voila! appt made lor... on nite of 19th Feb 2007,
but me the dumb dumb forgot to set time and venue to meet lor,
then in the 19th feb afternoon i changed mobile,
so dunno wat is his number then cannot call...

wait wait wait wait wait, until i think no hope,
decides to have dinner with a fren who happens to call,
i explained to her wat hap then happily we planned to go eat jap,
which is meeting in like abt 30mins or so...

Then SOMETHING GOT TO HAPPEN LOR!
He sms-ed and ask wat time meet,
and then i - . - lor...

Then after some silly discussion,
we decided to meet at 9pm where he will come pick me up,
and we shall go for drinks at harbourfront...
*sounds cool*

But then my fren how?!!
During dinner i told her everything,
but then i felt bad... i really felt guilty,
machaim i heavy color light fren lah...

So i decided to call him to tell him we 3 go ktv,
with much reluctance, he came and we went for ktv...
i know its really uncomfortable for him to be with ppl he dunno,
but i really appreciate tat he accommdated us for the ktv option.

It was fun for me, cos its been really long since i last step into a ktv room lor,
i canot help but keep suspecting my fren and him were both uncomfortable,
but then i also cannot do much,
so i try to pick songs he would noe and duets,
like tat he can join in and not zzz there lor...
can see he tired and close eyes rest.
(Ps. he came straight after duty watch - poor thing)

Then i would sing some songs with my frens also,
i tried lah, but i really enjoyed myself tat nite.

Why enjoy?
Cos sing song with him quite fun leh,
see he is also a dramatic fellow;
so hor when we sing duets,
we try to have eye contacts,
then he stretch out his hand,
then i also pei he him,
hold hand sing song....

hahahahha
u tell me fun anot ley.... kekekekekek

After tat, he sent my fren back,
then sent me back,
ok lar... the conversations were normal,
not like we trying hard to keep up the chat...

GREAT NITE!

Going Hm has nv been tis hard Part III

Finally, i heard the pilot welcoming us to SG,
Finally, HOME IS AT HAND!!!

Happily, i rush to the customs and i did something which i normally wont do;
i ignored the DFS and head for my luggage at the belt.
I saw a luggage opened, and i tot why the luggage looked familiar lor,
then i realized ITS MINE LUGGAGE LOR!!!!

When i checked in my luggage,
i also had a luggage belt with it;
in case the luggage burst open at least it can still be held together by the belt.
BUT mthe belt was missing lor,
and the luggage looked like it has been pryed opened!!!

sigh... Then i made my way to baggage control lor...
make report and etc etc etc

Then i went to take taxi lor,
then then then IT RAINED!!!
But i kana view rain as blessings now,
so not too bad... once i come back then it rain...
SG is blessed becos of me!!! heheheheheeh

Going Hm has nv been tis hard Part II

A sigh of relief is heard throughout the plane,
when we finally board the plane heading for Frankfurt...
We seriously tot, nothing else can go wrong now,
the only worry we had was that there aint no vancancy for us,
for the leg from Frankfurt to SG;
But we found out that we had confirmed seatings,
so still not too bad.... phew...

But when we got to Frankfurt,
we realized that the boarding gate had changed,
and we scrambled to find the counter to get our boarding passes.
We were directed from counter to counter,
cos apparently the transitting gate kept changing.

Finally, when we asked ard and the airport staff say its at xxx gate,
so everyone Q-ed...
But soon we realized that the plane parked behind the gate out is not SQ leh,
something was v. wrong lor...

We scouted ard again, and spotted a SQ plane,
then we confirmed with the SQ staff tis time,
and we were finally at the rite gate,
collected the correct boarding pass,
and mins later we boarded the CORRECT PLANE HM!!!

Going Hm has nv been tis hard Part I

The day has come and 15th Feb is my departure for hm,
time to go home for CNY!!!

A series of unfortunate events happened,
but it was not able to deter me from going hm!!!

Firsty, my flight back to sg was to be 15th Feb 2007 @ 1615hrs,
and we were all ready by 12 noon, then the cabby came at close to 1pm...
Think QW got sweat abit, cos his flight is 3pm and we need to check in 3 hrs b4 lor...

Then we all finally got to the airport,
checked in and claimed our VATs...
Makan Mac, cos nothing else was nice.

Then all our flights were delayed... *sian*
Then QW left to board the plane, and off to zurich.
Ours continued to be delayed...

The boarding time was suppose to be 4.15pm,
and still we see no plane leh...
Wait, wait wait wait.... counter say delay...
every 15mins say delay 15mins lor...
Then finally, at 5 plus the plane flew in...

Happily we tot we can still make it for the connecting flight in Frankfurt lor....
But they kept delaying the boarding...

All the way until 8 plus,
they announced that the plane has technical fault;
Lightning hit plane, plane got hole, cannot repair.
Therefore flight has to be cancelled.

PLS LOR!!!
plane got hole how to repair in 30mins de....
faint lor...

It was chaotic, and until 10pm they then made arrangement for us to rest at the hotel,
but v smart lor... they try to reschedule us for the 5am flight...
So hor u see... 10pm settle us, we reach the hotel at 11plus,
eat dinner and shower and then can leave hotel le...

Cos 5am flight means have to check in at 2am,
then plus travelling time is 30mins...

So stupid lor!!! They could have told us earlier and send us to the hotel earlier...
Everyone was tired and grumpy lor...

I HATE LUFTHANSA!!!!

14th Feb 2007

Oki... so u say u wanna read,
so i try to recall and backdate abit...

Think u all rem 14th Feb 2007 as Valentine's Day,
but for me its the eve of me going hm for CNY!!!
So hor, the meaning of tat day is got nothing to do with V for me lor....

But someone was really nice to send me a sms,
that brighten my day even more on the15th...
Aiya, cos my phone spoil, so cannot on,
so i also din bother to change phone and check.
Think it was really late over here,
and its already 2pm in Sg bah then i saw his sms.

It was a forward sms bah, with simple words that says
"This rose is for you, to tell you that i miss you."

So sweet... din know he is a mass sms forward guy,
but it still feels good to see tis sms from him.

CNY 2007

After a few waves,
plenty of initial unhappiness,
and alot of gratitude,
that i be coming home for the all impt CNY!

Hadnt been able to sleep last nite,
and was up till 3-4am before i really had to get some winks.
Maybe this is the longest i been away from hm,
and in these mths i find home to be an unreachable place,
only viable thru telephoney like the Internet to the fantasy world.

^_^

I'm just glad i'm going hm....

宫保鸡丁

一直以来，我都不太知道我能以什么方式来为自己减压；
能让自己在不伤害别人，不伤害自己的方式来发泄情绪。
来到了这里，我看我应该是有找到一两种方式。

第一是 praying in tongues。
这绝对是我最长用，对我来说是最有效的。

第二是 煮东西吧。。。
我也不知道，应该是纯粹想找东西来做，
让自己不再对不愉快的是一直转牛角尖。

结果今天的晚餐有：
1) 宫保鸡丁
2) 肉碎炒青菜
3）牛奶白菜
4）炖肉骨萝卜番薯汤

同事看了， 吓了一跳，
因为明明就两个人吃，
他说桌上的盘量是足以三四人份。。。

我不知道啦，现在我只知道，有点太饱了！

*BURP*

我爱你

每当我得为工作而出远门，
我都会很想家。
尤其是听到家人的声音，
甚至看到照片或任何电视电影的片段，
都会让我红了眼眶。

今天跟往常没什么两样，
一踏进住所, 手提就响了；
是我最亲爱的爸爸大人！

其实，他每一小段时间都会打电话给我。。。
是没什么好惊喜，
但每一次接到他的电话，
都会让我很感动，
很开心， 很温馨。
即使是都冷的天气，
我马上整个人就温暖起来了

哦！重点！！！
重点是放电话前，
他留了一句话，
“爸爸爱你。。。byebye！”
通常的我应该马上眼眶就红了，
但这次我没有，
还回句“爸，我也爱你！”

有进步吧？！！ ^_^

Dreams

Think many of you heard this before,
but i am still going to go ahead and write it.

There are no differentiating of good dreams or bad dreams
They can be big, or small...
You are the limitation of your dreams.
Go ahead and dream big dreams,
but dare to accept the challenge to fulfill it,
dare to take on the impossible,
and fight the good fight.

Pssst...
Wanna know the secret of fulfilling your dreams?

旅行的意义

因为看了只叶子青蛙的部落，
可爱水母猫咪也想在旅行这话题小写一下。。。

旅行的意义是什么？
为什么要旅行？
旅行因该是一个人的吗？

旅行是体验生活？
还是是轻轻松松地度假呢？
是为了增广见闻吗？

我想。。。
旅行是冲动，也是勇气；
它的背后主脑是好奇，
也是莫种理想/梦想的实现吧。

但现实是残酷的。
不是每个理想，
不是每个梦想，
都会完美地实现的。

最重要的是在旅途中得到了什么；

如果旅行的目的是放假充电，
那你有没有得到应有的休息？

如果旅行的目的是多了解这世界，
那你有没有敢于尝试各项事务呢？

如果旅行的目的是体验不一样的生活，
那你回家后有没有一颗感恩的心呢？

如果旅行的目的是逃避现实，
那你可能会很痛苦，
因为俗话说得好，
逃得了一时，逃不过一世

Garden of beanie sproutie!~

U know when we were in primary sch,

the science teacher asked us to grow our own plants,

and the easiest thing to grow is bean sprout.

I never really understand why everyone says that they are easy to grow,

cos mine was like diving under the cotton wool and hiding,

rather than it growing into something at all.

But now i know...

Pls. lor i only left them on the kitchen counter for like a fews days only lor then like tat liaoz... Just when i am ready to do my fried mee this has to happen!!!

*faint* Moral of story, no buy beanie any more!

Tis is FUNNY!

I love Sg 100%, but this is really funny...
No harm taking a look...

CNY Plans!!!

Hmm... i must do some basic planning for my CNY holiday,
only 2 weeks in SG, so much put into good use and
CANNOT UNDER UNTILZED!!!

I got my list of wanna dos and wanna meet le!!!

1. My family!!! ( And my grandma... AH MA!!!!)
2. Meet my primary sch (4-6), secondary sec (5) , Poly (2), UOP (3)...
3. Meet my church frens (Including cell grp ppl and Peggy).
4. QL + G,KHJ + WAH ppl + S_SG ppl.
5. Office ppl - Joyce jie, CJ, Lynn, Doris jie, etc...
6. Meet up with some misc frens (korkor & CWK & GL & SGH)
7. Ex-TCians (Esp. Yun jie, Ann, Laura, Wanglet, Vicky)
8. and you lor.... u lar.... u the fellow reading this lah!

So ppl, u all choose date and activities k...

As for the usual suspects, you guys know the choices...

• KTV
• EAT roti prata BOMB, chee cheong fun, puggol nasi lemak, BaoXing Chicken Rice, BBQ StingRay, Wanton Mee, Char Kway Tiao, Beef Kway Tiao, Congee, Salmon Sashimi, jap foodie, Steamboat, bak ku teh, etc etc etc etc

• Play Pool
• Maybe see a movie or something
• Go Hotel Lounge sit sit sip sip
• Cafes

Hse warming for a hse not my own

Hmm... organizing a hse warming is a brand new experience for me this time;
its not like i nv did a hse warming before,
but this was a totally new experience...

I had shifted in this new place for like a mth or so now,
we are nicely settled in with some technical issues;
but we are settled in.

I had suggested a hse warming party for the place for a few reasons;
To thank those who had helped us in getting this place,
To thank those we had helped to be our translator between our landlord and us,
To thank those who had helped us in one way or another since we arrived to this land.

I sort of dictator the whole thing, cos i was pretty excited abt it!
The only disappointing thing was like they seems to jus flow along,
i think neither of them were for the idea of hse-warming bah...
Or it could just be that i jus dictator everything?
Anyway, was quite upset, but then heck care in the end,
cos i figured if its something i wanna do then i go ahead and do... DUN COMPLAIN!

Firstly, the theme was sort of like a sandwich tea party, cos i know i dun really have the ability to provide a lunch or dinner meal to all... So sandwich party means the foodie all has to link to bread in one way or another...

1. Bread - Ordinary loaf of bread & some Pita Bread. (Pita was a great choice! But it must be served HOT!!!)
2. Spicy Tuna Fillings (The Spicy din come out, cos i forgot the chilli. Tried to salvaged by adding herbs/spices, but the spicy-ness still not there. *pout*)
3. Egg Mayo Fillings (Simple mashed hard boiled eggs with wasabe mayos andsweet paprika spices.)
4. Butter Mushroom in Cream (Something we tasted at the cafe restaurant, and succeeded in making it on our own. Good with bread and cheese then toast... yum...)
5. Soya Chicken (This is something which i jus saw my mum and grandma did at home, i came here anyhow hump-thumb wan... Great to hear everyone LOVED it! *Proud*)
6. Chips & Nachos (Nothing special, just buy from supermarts wan...)
7. Venetta Ice Cream (In the end forgot abt it and never serve... muahahahah)
8. Beer & Wine & Champ (Plenty left in our fridge for our own enjoyment!!! *happy&)
9. Soft drinks & Fruit Jucie
10. Homemade Barley Drink (All thanks to Uncle PC & Ivan)

As one of the hosts i know i shld be serving and entertianing our guests, but i was really busy preparing and cooking the food lar... Hey... not easy oki.... i started preparing the foodie the nite b4 until 3am plus in the morning, while my hse mate go chiong until 5am... winner... no one help me...

I admit i kinda like to not socialize cos i also dunno wat to say... really a big lesson on hospitality man... I did enjoy the cooking and i also did some entertaining lar... cos my kitchen is open concept one and can oversee to living room and dinning area. ^_^

I'm really glad all that is over, its good to celebrate that everyone left with a glass of champ and plenty of chicken wings and rest our feet on the coffee table! ^_^

Ps. You all think i super socialable some more, wow liew... now i know i am not lor... i also dunno why i become like dunno wat to say... then just use my mega watt smile @ them and go yar.. yar.. yar.. & more yar and more thanks and more yar......

Took for granted

Finally...
The morning that i woke up with the sunshine into my bedroom,
The sun brings such warmth and comfort that i've always taken for granted.

Back home,
The sun would be one of the reasons that i stay home all afternoon,
Then as evening approaches, so will my activities begin...

I always thought that i had improved on tis topic of taking things for granted,
and now i know that this is a vast land which i have to stretch my blankie to cover it;
I may be able to identify one area which i have taken it for granted and be conscience of it,
but on the other, if i am not conscience, i may take another thing in another area for granted in another aspect.

Complicated?

I havent been calling hm, and i decided to do so tdy.
And to my surprised, my granny came back to stay with us!
Cos the sch hols started and no one is hm to take care of her,
so the best choice is for her to stay @ my place.

She was so excited with she took over the phone,
i always tot i was the least noticeable grandchild,
ever since i started working...
ever since i stopped visiting her regularly...

I MUST BE HM in CNY!
I must go back and hug her,
and finish her pot of CNY speciality...
This pot of goodie was something i dread... once upon a time;
But now, its the first thing on my mind when i return to SG for CNY.
As of tdy, i will never take tat pot of red sauced rice mee for granted ever!


Ps. Strangely... why everything connected to food wan ley???

kekeke ^_^ kekeke

GoodBye 2006...

Looking forward to the New year of 2007?




I have no idea, i dun really have much time to think rite now.

COs i only got a few mins
b4 i gotta rush out of the hse to do the countdown at a saxaphone cafe...
in the cold air of 7 degree C....




Here's a quick blessing for u who are reading this post...

May you run like the wind, into the arms of the wonderous new year of 2007.





















May you be like David,
conquering the Goliath in your life.



























May you climb new heights in your personal lives, careers and spiritual life.


























May you rest in the peace and comfort that you will never be alone.



















May u always rest in the SHALOM PEACE of God!

Reflecting on 2006, preparing for 2007

It suddenly occurs to me that 2006 is going to close its doors on me!!!

Very soon, you'll hear ppl celebrating and greeting you,
" Happy New Year! Happy 2007!
May this NEW year be an exciting life change year ever!"

I started to reflect on what i had done in this past year;
time seems to be infinite,
yet it comes and goes so fast.

Looking back, i am amazed at where i stand tdy,
amazed at the decisions i made,
and simply amazed at the outcomes.

I never thought that i would have the courage,
to want to move out and explore wat life has in store for me.
I never thought that i will or can break out of that shell,
I never knew that there are things which i wanted that badly...
But i do know that i can trust God.

Looking back, i saw many things;
things that i like to remember,
things that i wish it never happened,
things which led me to see how wrong i was,
things that tell me more abt the ppl ard me,
Best of all, i can see God's love showering upon me.

God IS with you, no matter if you are conscience of it or not.

Mummy.... My tic is confirmed!!!

A New Living Experience

I have been putting off blogging,
cos time seems to be running out very fast for me each day.
Each day we return to tis hse cold and tired and hungry,
and all we look forward to is to fill our stomachs,
hop into the hot shower at the maximum heat the heater can give,
and jump into bed... snugging under the think and heavy blanket covers.

Oh, did i mention that now there is only have 1 Internet connection in this new place,with 2 ppl sharing 1 lappy...
There's a certain level of challenge to find some privacy and quietness to do the things i would like to do.

Things are completely different for me now;
i am not staying at home with my family,
but i am working somewhere far from home
and living with an associate and a fren cum colleague.

Initially, we din really have a good start;
I have to admit that i was kinda of hostile to tis new associate,
whom i did not know at all.
I did not volunteer but it was a request,
which i thought i couldnt refused.
Then for a short period of time,
a sense regret came over me and...
just take my word that i am hostile and mean for a period of time.

Living with strangers / non family member is very different,
there is alot more compromise than you would expect,
alot more patience and tolerance than you would have,
and definitely exposing your vulnerabilities and ugly Eve.

Its not comfortable,
and internally you are resisting...
After some time, you would realize that no amt of resisting would be any gd,
cos thats the way it is.
The only change is possible would be you or the other parties else is to move out and live alone.
It is impossible for me to move out and live alone,
so now you know that i am under training...
Training to be a better person to live with.

I hope everything will turn out well,
all the way till the end of the attachment at least.

NEW PLACE!!!

God has been really good to me,
and i have been keeping the good things He had done for me to myself,
i think its time to give God his due glories...

First of all, i wished in my heart secretly that i can move to a bigger and better and a cheaper place than the one i am in. But i did not even pray abt it.
next time i know, i had support to move and share a new apartment with another colleague.

So we decided that we shld start looking for places, but actually we didnt. At the care grp meeting, someone was saying that there are ppl leaving for hse, and their hses/apartments are available for rental. And of cos, I JUMPED! And that was how i manage to view the first apartment. As for the second place, another member told me that his landlord has 2 places to let out and would arrange for me to view.

So u see... i din go look for hse, but it actually came to me!
HALLELUJAH!!!

First hse, was actually a penthouse; Its actually just an apartment at the highest level with a balcony. Its really spacious to the one i am in now, it has 3 rooms with 3 toilets... one of the toilets even have a bathtub... nt bad rite! The location is really good with plenty of shops downstairs... gotta love it!

Second hse, was really a hse; Its located in a very quiet and private locations, somewhat like frankel ave type of place... Its quite a cool hse with 2 big balcony at the front and back of the 1st flr, then we can also go up to the roof where ppl can hold bbq or jus sun bath or look at the sea.

Yup, we finally settled down on choosing that one apartment. We actually prefer a place with conviences than a quiet and private environment.

God even brought us ppl to help communciate with the landlord, the nice lady really was a great help. We shld really get her a gift or a meal to show our gratitude.

I just finish packing 85% of the entire hse now, and i am beat...
I'm just glad that we can finally settle down... It was easy, really v easy when you have God on your side. ^_^

Abba, TODA! Thank You Very Much!!!

Today is just another day in your life?

Is Today just another day for u?
Is Today just another fridays in the 365 days of year 2006?

Its is another friday for me,
another friday for me in this foreign land...
This sacred but foreign land,
This land which God has chosen,
but not quite my home...

Eeks, write out of point again... kekekeke

Anyway, its another day for me,
but not JUST another day;
I'm somewhere out there living alone for awhile,
going to move to another rented place,
going to live under the same roof with another 2 human beings which are not my family members,
going to have gathering every sat nite at my new place, with me cooking dinner for all...

EEKS!!!! how to be JUST ANOTHER DAY?!!!

I'm in deep tots.... really deep tots...
So deep that i also dunno if its deep...
*Heheeheeeheheeheee*
Aiya... already say is deep tots liaoz mah...

I been seriously thinking if i wanna change my blog title,
To me... nonsensical is not exactly a good word that gives me good credentials or compliments... In simple words, its not a positive word to boost me morale lah.

The new title i been considering is "Under Construction!!!"
I m under construction, in instruction, under training and moulding...etc...
The idea came when someone shared that his cell grp leader used this term to described himself in a self introduction game.

And i guess its a good time to change my blog title,
signifying a new beginning to this new training of 8mths (Or maybe 12mths).

Anyway, its just a tot...

- Still thinking.......

怎么办

☆花漾少年少女电视原声带☆

怎么办 哦 怎么办
为什么 你 为什么
老是把空气全都吸光了

害得我 你 害得我
在你面前呼吸急促需要叫救护车

别看我 先 别看我
我的脸红就快要爆料了

没什么 哪 有什么
我是绝对不会承认我喜欢你了

怎么办感觉甜又酸
偷偷爱你快乐又孤单

怎么办爱却不能讲
你真讨厌不来帮我的忙
你怎么可以这样笑容打败太阳
甚至比我还要更好看

我虽然无力抵挡但是日子还长
总有一天换你为我疯狂

为什么 你 为什么
这样不讲理的就出现了

害得我 你 害得我
连仅有的一点矜持优雅全都毁了

靠近我 别 靠近我
到底离你多近比较好呢

完蛋了 我 完蛋了
我整个人眼看就快不是我的了

怎么办感觉甜又酸
偷偷爱你快乐又孤单
怎么办爱却不能讲
你真讨厌不来帮我的忙


你怎么可以这样笑容打败太阳
甚至比我还要更好看
我虽然无力抵挡但是日子还长
总有一天换你为我疯狂
为我疯狂

怎么办感觉甜又酸
偷偷爱你快乐又孤单
怎么办爱却不能讲
你真讨厌不来帮我的忙

怎么办感觉甜又酸
偷偷爱你快乐又孤单

怎么办 ？！！！

A FULL YEAR

Just received news that there will be a 4mth extension to my current job attachment, though there is no black and white confirmation yet, but according to my POC, its more of less firm...

All we got to do now is wait for another 1-2mths for the mgmt to confirm with the appropraite documentations/directives before i can say for sure i am going stay put until Sept 2007.

To be frank, i m really not worried abt it at all,
by the time i complete the 8 mths,
wat more would the extra 4 mths do to me???

Besides, this is not any good or bad news,
so long it is God leading me, its the way for me.
God knows best! ^_^

With this news, my buddy and i have decided to try look for another apartment,
a cheaper and more spacious and better quality apartment...
Dun say dun have... HAVE WAN!!!

i know Jesus has an apartment for me here...
the moment i hear the extension possiblity,
i know that i'm still in God's plan and HE is STILL IN CONTROL!!!
I am excited to see what place He has prepared for me...

Not to worry ppl... i'll still be coming back for CNY 2007,
and we are verifying with the company that we shld be having 2 return air tics for us or our family usage when we are to do a full year overseas attachement.
Then i will be back for CNY in Feb 2007,
and maybe June 2007 also come back for a break...
else i'll let my mum have the air tic to come visit me... ^_^

Do pray for me oki...
the more the merrier!!!

THanks!!! :'P

Amy Grant - It takes a little time

Hmm...
i just realized that one of the biggest reasons that i am blogging
is becos i need some tots sorting and encouragements.
Each time i blog, its almost like talking to myself,
and i guess i am the best person to know wat i am think and wat i need to hear.
And in the mean time, i do hope it encourages you...
Well, if not...
then hopefully it amuses u or entertain u alittle... ^_^


Here's a great song,
do take time to read the lyrics...
I love tis song ^_^


It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby youre not going down
It takes more than youve got right now
Give it time

Whats this walking thru my door
I know Ive seen the look before
Sometimes in faces on the street
Sometimes in the mirror looking back at me
You cant fix this pain with money
You cant rush a weary soul
You cant sweep it under the rug, now honey
It dont take a lot to know
(chorus)

Now it may not be over by morning
But rome wasnt built in a day
You can name this thing a thousand times
But it wont make it go away
Let me put my arms around you
And hold you while you weep
Weve been talking and talking
Im sick of this talk
And its nothing that wont keep
(chorus)

No you cant fix this pain with money
You cant rush a weary soul
You cant sweep it under the rug now honey
It dont take a lot to know
(chorus)

I’m tired and irritated…

I know that feeling tired is not a good reason to be rude and showing off my temper,
it may be a mixture of other things that add to the tiredness,
but I know that it still doesn’t give me the right to be raise my voice,
not to look or response to ppl when they are talking to me,
being rude or snapping at ppl with my words…

what do I do???

I think the impression of my co-workers is to avoid me as far as they can.

I’m really not an easy person to work, or even to hang out with.

GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!

Yes, Ladies and gentlemen... Its a great day...!!!
Good things are happening all over the place,
each day i look forward to give thanks to God for...
You are be surprise at all the things u can thank God for!

#1 Thank God for the laptop!
Yes!!! My laptop is here!!!
Some kind soul brought my laptop to me a few days back.
Though the irony is that i havent had the time to really use the lappy yet...
But still, Praise God and THANK GOD for the lappy...
Now i can comm with you guys more often,
i can reply email at the comfort and the time i have,
i can do some information surfing, etc...

Its really the undeserved favour of God that the kind soul has agreed to bring over the laptop for me and in such short notice.

#2 Thank God for fellow christians
I just returned from my first cell grp meeting here,
though we all are from diff churchs back in SG,
but its really like a warmth place to be.

Tdy, the grp is actually teaching on the methods that we can use to study the bible. maybe becos most of the ppl here are engineers,
so the methodology is a little chim to me...
But i am thankful cos there is so much that i wanna share abt from tdy;
not just the content, but there is someting else which really warmth my heart...
Will do a detail blog on it soon.

#3 Thank God for the expat church!!!
The ppl in the cell grp are actually attending a church here,
this is really exciting!!!
I will be joining them in the coming weekend.
Really thank God that there is a church we can attend here,
and there are plenty of SG christians here,
and also there is a regular cell grp meeting every wed...
with free dinner provided by the host... hhehehe YUM!!!

#4 THank God for showing me that i am where i am "suppose" to be.
I saw something at the cell grp gathering place,
and this something was really subtle...
And by no means its just a co-incidence...
Rem... Coincidence is God in anonymous.

#5 Thank God that i get my requested items with little waiting time.
As we are staying in a "service" apartment,
the landlord will provide most of the items we need here...
even to the little stuffs like can opener or pasta strainer...
Many of my frens here had to wait quite a few days before they get their requests.
But by the grace of God, i noticed that watever requests i made for,
gets delivered to my apartment on the next day or the day after.

!!!!!! Its really the favour of God!!!!!!!

#6 Thank GOd for Grace!!
Thank God that her op was a success,
Thank God that she is having a speedy recovery!!!

#7 Thank God for Teacher Chen
Thank God for her sms,
Thank God for her to update me on how she is, and the ppl ard her (esp. grace),
Thank God that she is enjoying herself in TNS,
Thank God for her blog and photos.

See!!! so much to thank God for!!!

i would really love to stay and write more and in more detail,
but i'm really beat...

Havent been sleeping well for the last few days,
its either i've been dreaming alot else i keep waking up hourly from 5am to 8am here.
Maybe its the pillow thats not comfory, cos i m having neck aches etc...
Just like these... its already wearing me out...
Think i really need to learn to R.E.S.T and learning to be still is still a challenge.

oki... really gtg rest... neck aching badly now...

Prayer requests:
1. Be able to have good nite sleep, sleep well... be well rested and no necking aching prob.
2. To be protect from the cold; No falling sick, no skin cracking, no nose problem (ie blood clot due to too cold)...

^_^


Nitey....

Living Out The Dream

Verse I
We said goodbye to family and friends
To journey places we had never been
So unsure of where the road would lead
With a solid faith that God would meet our needs
Sometimes we grew weary, tired and cold
But, we were called, and we knew we must go
God-given songs that we knew we must sing
What a joy it's been living out the dream

Chorus
Soon the voyage will be over and we'll cross that final span
The good and faithful shepherd will gather all his lambs
He will lead us to still waters and pastures oh so green
What a joy it's been living out the dream

Verse II
Like a traveling pilgrim with a destiny
Headed for a place we've never seen
We've made a host of dear friends on the way
A lot of tears and joy, many prayers we've prayed
One day we will reach our journey's end
We'll say goodbye to sorrow pain and sin
Though many miles yesterday it seems
That we set our sails living out the dream

Words and Music by Gerald Crabb

Relieved... Happy

Fren ah fren,
you really have no idea how happy i am,
how relieved i am to see u nudging me on msn,
and the chatting time we had on the phone.
For a long while, i was worrying that i have lost u this fren for good.

I dunno wat i can do for u,
or help u with the problem u have.
But i will pray for you,
cos i know i am helpless,
but my God is able.
He is able to help you.

*HUGZ*

String of events...

Its been 2 weeks or so since i'm here, and wat did i do?

#1 Found our way to another city in 1 1/2hr, when the locals only takes 30-40mins.

#2 Ignorance and miscomm with hotel staff, led to the horror of our car being towed into the car pound after an awkward dinner. End up paying NIS280 for the tow fee, in order to repossess the car to drive home.

#3 Completed our 1st National Park visitation... HAPA National Park!!!

#4 Failed in making herbal chicken, and end up with bland herbal soup.

#5 3 out of 4 wheels of our car got stolen when we awoke to a sunny bright morning. The thief did not left 1 wheel out of good will, its tat the tyre was stuck.

#5 Bland veggie curry... (Really nt my fault, the guys simply whipped out a fish curry paste and insist on using it to make veggie curry... TOO MUCH H20 AGAIN... Cos they think add milk is gross... -.-)

HALLELUJAH

ABBA! I thank you that your hand is upon us!
I thank you that only 3 out of the four wheels of our car is stolen,
I thank you that the car is not stolen or damaged in any way,
I thank you that this theft occured at our apartment's carpark,
I thank you that you send ppl to help us with making the police report,
I thank you that situations are not all tat hopeless!!!

I thank you that YOU ARE MY GOD,

into situations that bless us and favour us!
I thank you that your blessings are here for us now...

^_^

Hallelujah!!! Blessed be the Name of my Lord!!!

代价

做任何选哲都是有代价的，
代价的轻重只有当事人了解。
而我做出的莫选哲让我背上这辈子目前最大的遗憾，

我没有觉得工作或金钱比你或你生活里的点点滴滴重要，
我更没有要遗弃或背叛你的想法。
没能待在你最需要我的时候，是我的遗憾。
没能分享你的喜悦，是我的遗憾。
让你（伤心）失望， 是我最大的遗憾。

遗憾我放不开，也放不下；
因为我没敢要你原谅。。。
也因为心里的不安
所以一再的向你道歉，
对不起。

Herbal Chicken .... 1st attempt FAILED :*(

The date is 17th Oct 2006, somewhere in the +0600hrs region;
The attempt to cook herbal chicken = FAILED!

I very sad leh... i really v v v sad...
Cos it failed terribly lor...

First, the chicken we bought was big... too big for the biggest pot we have.
Secondly, i am a little confused with the instructions given.
Thirdly, i still not really sure which of the knobs on the electrical stoves were small or medium or hot or v hot or hot hot hot...

Then afer trying out the aluminium stunts to improvise steaming a chicken which was bigger than its pot, we end up dumping the whole chicken and its herbal stuffs and add water and let it boil... Plan B was Herbal Soup...

Though the guys said that the soup and the chicken was ok,
BUT HONESTLY LOR... really not nice lor...

I really do have to thank the guys for being nice and say its nice,
and they did finish quite abit of the soup...

Thanks 2 my fren, who had forsight, told me to get 2 packets of the herbal chicken ingredients... in case the 1 st attempt failed. Now, its really true lor...

Chicken no.2, You will be a success!!!! I dun care... MUST SUCCEED LOR!!!
COs i no more ingredients liaoz....


*Footnote: Wow liew... fancy getting upset over a failed herbal chicken... i cant believe myself... cant believe i feeling sad over it.. biang.... must be nuts...
Eeks! Time to collect laundry.....

My first time......

Thank God for HIS Divine protection,
Thank God for HIS Hand upon me,
Thank God for JESUS!!!

I just came back from my first experience in driving on the left hand drive;
Though i had been driving for some time now, but it was my first ever drive on a diff driving rule. Its strange, its unfamiliar, its really a all time low on my confidence. But THANK GOD that my fren and i travelled to and fro safely!!!

Guess wat... i will have to drive even more regularly a few mths time, when all my drivers are returning to SG to continue their part of their work, wheras i am staying put with a non-driver fren & colleague. A new item added to my trolley of things learnt... being able to drive on the left and right hand rules... sounds trivial? It sounds cool to me, cos i learnt something.... but better than nothing! ^_^

Another thing which i am doing now is learning to polish up my cooking skills, cooking normal boring veggie cum meaty cum soupy dishes are really not diff... so i tried my hand at cooking for the guys here, not to bad... THANK GOD they are not fussy or picky eaters, they actually find it ok. So, i'm going to try to turn that OK to V.GD!!!

Dun look with unbelieving eyes ok, i actually tried to do braised chicken wings... Its not a fabulous result, but the guys liked it... And it actually is really not to bad for a first time try at the dish with limited resources. I will do more and do better... and of cos first ppl i wanna cook for is my beloved family, my fantestic SengKang caregroup, and of cos my GREAT FRENS!!!...
(Maybe something exotic for me GREAT FRENS huh...
hehehehehe how bout braised hamster? hehehehehehehehehehe ^+^ )

One more thing... dunno if i mentioned it b4,
THANK GOD for his loving kindness...;
i made a request for a laptop to my boss,
and he approved it and and and and and...... the paperwork is underway for the purchase!

Then then then then then hor... My nice colleague brought me a new speaker with the normal power point plug for external power amplifcation, so now i can listent o my sermon CDs and the still waters CD!!!

Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy

Din know that i could use the comp, so dun really prepare with i wanna blog...
Anyway, wanted to put up something which i saw in a fren's blog...
A personality anaylsis...

You guys see its true abt me k? ^_^

Think i pretty much resign to my fate of not having a lappy and internet access,
i'm tired of nrunning to ppl's room and ask if i can have a moment with their comps,
and then worrying if i am annoying them and bothering them.

Think i am accepting the fact of being here and living here......
Maybe acustoming would be a better word.
Started to furnish this temp home of mine,
spent quite a bit of time cleaning the new pots and pans,
cleaning up the kitchening area... Its alot to do lor!!!

Still... it would be comforting for someone to be with me now......
Anyone......

My Studio Apartment

Tupidz makes a COMEBACK!!!
