GO???

its been pretty long time since i last attended church,
and the fact is i din wan to...
Not too sure why,
but in my heart i realli dun wanna go
and now since so long no go,
lagi dun wanna go...

Would i go to church if i were back in sg,
i dunno either,
but i do noe that the chances are much higher.
But thats only my guess...

Whats the diff here???

Distance?
I can drive there in half hr,
dun think distance is an issue...

Discomfort?
Ppl there are v nice and very friendly,
loved their warmth in the past... next...

Displacement...
Think i never regard this place as my church,
and i do feel lost.
People are humming and buzzing ard,
and i am often at a lost wat to do.
The sight of difference in language already switched on my bias mode,
i give up before even trying to speak or understand them.

When will i ever learn that worship and service to GOD can be applied any House of the Lord?
I dun get it...
not contributing to this place and just keep going back to satisfy my own need for God,
seems so... selfish...
wat difference is it from me going to a shopping centre just to get my shopping done?
Or is this just another excuse for not wanting to go?

Cannot stand straight...

Its been a pretty tiring and rough few days,
with the gastric and the insufficent zzz and the weights on my mind...
I'm just glad the weekend is here for me to rest.

With all the pain and discomforts,
i insisted on preparing a farewell dinner for the few closer frens i've made here...
The preparations started abt 1.5 wks ago,
where i think and plan on wat to cook, and wat i can cook without disaster.
The actual food prep started last evening;
marinating all the meat >>> Chicken wings, beef and minced pork

waking up early on a weekend is rare,
but i did jumped out with a limp,
cos the stomach felt like had a knot,
the moment i straight up the pain increase proportionally to the angle and time...
In anyway, got all the stuffs and cooked them...

Glad that they enjoyed the food,
and was very touched that they appreciated it...
Going to miss their company,
this hse will may not have tat many ppl coming over here for dinner again...

Dun wanna think le...
time to go rest me tired body,
bruised knuckles, aching feet, aching neck and shoulders and back...
Nitez!

(ps. now is 3.40am)

*WAVE!~~~*

Waves that beats on the shores endlessly...

I love the beach, to be more exact... i love the sea...
Its mysterious, unpredicable, filled with possiblities and there are loads of things u can do with it. Its calm, yet its undercurrents are like passion that runs deep... Its beyond measure, yet we still try to define it...

But last week, i had a different look at the sea... or rather the waves...
each day, every nite, the waves of the sea beat the shores of the beach,
endlessly... tirelessly...
it does not get bored, it does not stop, and it definitely will not give up.
The waves are like the troubles we have in our lives,
be it the same problems, or new problems
they come for sure, without ceasing without mercy...
Are you tired of it?

i am tired... i really am...

Thats why humans need a saviour,
Thats why i have a saviour!!!
His name is Jesus.

Losting touch... losing sight... losting it?

With all the tiredness and not feeling so well aka headaches/gastrics,
i seems to be comig to blog lesser,
or rather coming online lesser... at least when ppl are ard,
else it would be a 5 - 10mins touch and go,
can barely talk to any of u properly...

I do miss those times where i can jus sit at some cafe with anyone of u,
and then jus staring into space;
simply enjoying the company and occassional exchange of crap.

Slowly, i am learning not to feel lonely bah,
everything i do, wherever i go,
i bring u all with me... er... in tots...
I guess my hsemate is pretty - . -" most of the time,
cos i would say blah blah blah then one of you ppl's name...
hahahah...

Trying to keep up with how all of u are,
dun think i m doing a gd job...
Hope will have some improvement soon,
u all wait and see k ^_^

So losing sight... wat did i lost sight of???
losing sight the reason why i am here...
Of cos there is the working objective element,
and thats not going as smooth as we like it to be,
but... wat to do, i do wat i can and jus let be

Seems like i am slacking here,
all the objectives that i had meted out are slowly fizzing out,
cos also dunno why keep feeling tired,
else is the bloody migraine come back...
That day was in the polyclinic from 0830hrs to 1130hrs,
simply trying to get me something for the pain...
Finally sent me with an ex medication in form of nasal spray...
i am really saving that for the extreme pain bah...

I am beginning to wondering i will return hm and be the same me?
Will i bring anything back to Sg other than the technical training and experience gathering from these mths?
Will i be able to play the guitar properly when i get back?
Will i be able to at least have a proper X conversation with any locals here?
Will i have my stuffs all planned out by my de-posting?
Or is all these another dream that come and go...
and i am back to square 1?

Ps. Wat would u all thing think if i come back sg, quit my job then go do waitressing for a awhile... kekeke then maybe go go pasar malam stall... then i also dunno.... something non technical and wont kill my brain cells de.... ^_^ comments?

Visual Frenzy

Its been a drama movie frenzy...
I completed an old tw drama, and Transformer, and quite alot of other variety clips.
Next in the Q is 3 dramas to go...

Actually i dun really like the idea of watching drama,
especially over here where i have to watch it from my lappy,
and i have to make sure i download every eps regularly...
Such chores wears me out, wears my memory out as well...

I dunno why i got myself into the predictment to watch the next 3 serial drama,
but i guess i can always burn them and keep them.

I still prefer to read my books any time! ^_^

My fren asked me to quickly catch the Transformer movie,
cos she wanted to know wat i tot of the show.
And i did, i watched it with my hsemate...
with both of us being born in the same era,
we are v famliar with the cartoon/comic series.

We din really like the movie, here's why :
1) My hsemate thinks its too much like a war film, the feel is similar to Black Hawk Down; And i tot it was a Godzilla or Ultraman type movie.
2) There wasnt much storyline, even there was it was diff from the Transformer cartoon/comic.
3) The Autobots & Decepticons are not nice, the transformation process is not that impressive.

We were disappointed... maybe we expected too much...
We still prefer the last Transformer Movie (cartoon version),
graphics are better and they showed the Transformers we knew when we were kids.

My afterTOTs of the movie was...
There was so much destruction to the city, to the earth.
Even with the battle won, how long will it take to recover if it were to happen in real life?
And if the battle was won by the evil doer, wat good would it be for them, with a half wrecked earth? Wats so good abt ruling the earth, dominate the universe?

So wat if you are rich and powerful? Whats next when u achieve that?
Ppl sacrifice their time away from family to earn $ to give their famliy a better life;
SO wats a better life? To live happily...
But your family are usually more happy when u spend time with them.

The heck with OTs, just do your job when u are suppose to;
Then go enjoy yr family time.

Dun go one big round to get something when its already within yr reach.

SHORT SHORT SHORT!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....................................

I finally cut my hair SHORT!
Its very short lor!

For a person who has been having long hair for the last 12 yrs,
ITS REALLY REALLY SHORT!

I dunno if i am showing signs of regret,
i hope i am not...

But i realli woke up with a
不知所措 type of feeling,
the feeling is really intense when i looked into the mirror lor....

Hmm... i havent decided if i hate or like this short hair yet,
cos the UNBELIEVEABLE feeling is overwhelming...

All i can say is i dunno wat came over me to have the impulse,
but i havent felt the regret,
neither did i felt the joy yet...

So... i also dunno leh....

I'm just STUNNED!

Ps. i think ppl think not nice, but then i also dunno...
i will be wearing cap to work at least for the coming week,
but i hope its jus the coming wk...

I'll figure it out when i am no longer stunned by the shortness....

Another mth gone...

In a twinkle of an eye, the mth of June is abt to end;
And for some strange reason, this mth always flies past so quickly...

Other than work's been crazy, and me losing my head...
Thats all i rem for tis mth.

Let's see;
Work, OT, come hm cook dinner, eat dinner, bath, and zzz
Thats the routine here and now and hopefully not for the next few mths.

Think my best unwinding is cooking,
think wat to cook, wat can cook etc...

Mgmt came down, with news and bad news...
But comic relief was they say i have a "so-call" conspiracy
to make my hsemate rounder so i look smaller...

Muahahaa... not a bad idea,
maybe can working towards that...
kekekeke

Burnt a few weekends,
and maybe have to burn a few more
before i can find some time for myself.

Feeling like i'm back to my first few years with XSXA,
where i work no day no nite,
i have no connections with anyone,
i barely see my family too...

Guess the only diff now is i trying to stop struggling,
trying to stop fighting all these nonsenses;
But i am still not compromising,
if things be, let things be
if thing be, thing let be.......

Return Date

Received update in the last week abt my return date,
erm... there is no return date.

So long the final test is not successfully completed,
we will not be granted with a de-post date.

The target date of completion was in Sept 07, then Oct'07, then Nov'07 then Dec'07, then its MAYBE in Dec'07. Bottom line is, no complete no go home.

Sorry guys (gals), all the plans we made for Dec'07 will have to be fulfilled by God le,
i am nothing, and can do nothing......

I spoke to God abt it, i told God that i let him decide when i go back...

Let's wait and see wat good things will come to pass bah.

extra green ears, blue heart and black faces...

After the last post, i tot my next post would also be one with cheery smilez,
and the scent of joy in the air......

Yup, it was great fun with the presents,
and the story behind it was pretty interesting,
the gers who sent were CHAMPIONS!!! ^_^

I told my mentor the reason for rushing off on the dot from work,
and i promised to show him the stuffs i collected...
But i really did not expect an extra pair of green ears;
Anyway, for the spot of fun, i put it on in the office
and boy was he amused... i guessed i amused myself too...
It was a hard day and the ears did brought in comic relief!

Blue heart; was talking to a fren on msn and she seemed pretty moody...
becos i had to fetch my newly arrived to town colleagues to get water and some food supplies, i had to end the chat abruptly.

I know very very very well she was very upset abt a certain issue,
and i told her that i will call her awhile later when the shops are open,
cos i needed to get the international calling card.
But after a few hrs, the shops are still nt open...
And she called me, the moment i answered the call,
i knew something was wrong!

$#@$&^$@##@!!@$!$@#$%#@%@@$%#$^#%^$%^%^#%^#$^#^#$%#$%#$%#$#$%#$%&^$$!#@!@#!@$!#$@#%@%@%$!#$#%$@^%#^$%^^&@!#$!@$#%#$^#$@#$#@$%">#@$#@$&^$@##@!!@$!$@#$%#@%@@$%#$^#%^$%^%^#%^#$^#^#$%#$%#$%#$#$%#$%&^$$!#@!@#!@$!#$@#%@%@%$!#$#%$@^%#^$%^^&@!#$!@$#%#$^#$@#$#@$%


Being so far away, i tell myself not to think too much. If i dun see then dun go think and think, but now i dun think i can just push it aside any more......
I felt bad for not able to do anything,
i felt worse that i did not do anything...
Wont ur heart ache if u heard yr fren crying on the phone ?!!

I been telling myself that the best thing,
and the only thing i can do for her is to pray.
But why do i still feel so ............

Black faces; I see it everyday, including in the mirror,
cant help it, maybe becos its been a little stressful...
and i guess its even more stressful when u kept trying to control yrself,
its like a balloon, the more u wanna press down the balloon that is getting bigger,
the more the balloon will burst...
argh... dun like the feeling...

Sigh... sian...

Nvm, later go zzz after finish the report...
TMW IS ANOTHER DAY!
a good one i hope.

Once upon a time there was a box ......

有一个小声音告诉我，

“工作是永远做不完的。。。。。。”

于是，我决定要准时下班，

赶往在半小时内要关门的的邮局。

冲啊！！！！！！

HEY!!! CRUMPLER BAGS!!!

Nice magz;

Light At The End Of The Tunnel - Bryan White/Rebecca Lynn Howard

There is light at the end of the tunnel,
There is a place far away from all trouble
There's a light beyond the night,
shining for you and for me.

Knock knock

Hmm... the neighbour jus knock on my door,
with a heavy amercian accent he asked,
"Hi! I believe this is yours."

Dun think here got ppl by the name of AH MA

hmmm...... *scratch head*

Habakkuk 3:19

“The Sovereign LORD is my strength;

he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

he enables me to go on the heights.

For the director of music.

On my stringed instruments.”

- Habakkuk 3:19

work... AH BLEAH!!!

Eeks... the irriate fellow named stress seems to be stalking me,
its sidekicks called anger and aggression are beating up my buddy - patience.

Argh, swallows alot of swords though tempted to rebute the integration mgr;
its not professional to lose my temper at work,
regardless i am in the right or wrong.
But losing gripe is definitely wrong.

First, was a strange tiredness throughout the week,
then the demoralizing news,
and the cruel human reality,
and finally the accusations which evolved when it reached my head from my ears;
they turned into self doubt...

No lor, i am in pit deep lor...
Nothing is going to rob me of my joy!
So wat, this is work.. its only a part of my life...
so :P BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH to work!

This phrase is always in my head;
The main thing abt the main thing is the main thing,
the main point is the main point of the main point!!!
hahahaha....

So long i am learning keep my eyes on Christ,
and not lose sight of wats impt;
work dun define me,
appraisals does not define my worthiness,
ppl's perception dun define who i am or wat i am worth,
I am who i am, i am not some loser,
I AM A CHAMPION!
I make mistakes, and i may not know everything,
i cry and grumble and self pity,
but in the end i still pick up myself ,
ride through and over my hurdles,
and wack the lose board into pieces!

Be YOU! Be YOURSELF!
BE A CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!

I AM BLESS!!!

hi all...

not that i wanna brag, but i'm really feeling like the song -

"So bless that i cant contain it,
so much that i've got to give it away,
your love taught me to live now,
You are more than enuf for me! "

After a short chat with a fren, she commented that i have a certain blessing following me.
I was stumped for a moment... blessing?

Like i said many times, i dun really celebrate my birthday,
cos i also dunno how to celebrate, besides the credit is to my mum...
she's the one who painstakingly gave birth to me on tis day.

Anyway, looking back the last 5 yrs (at least)...
Ppls always rem my birthday, and they often celebrate for me.
Not to mention famliy and frens, church frens and colleagues has always been sweet to me.
I was told in offices, the birthday dude brings their own cake to the office to celebrate and share with others. But i have been blessed that, with each of my birthday in my company, they have always the culture to have birthday celebrations for each of the month babes. And i when it comes to y mth, the office usually happens that most of the colleagues will be ard. And not only my div ppl gave their best wishes, the hr and finance korkor and jiejies also know. ^_^

And this yr, in this foreign land, my mentor gave me a belated birthday celebration in the office last wed. He felt bad that he got the date one week late; but i was really touched. He and the rest of the team been really nice and family to me, especially my mentor.. He is like a big brother i nv had. He got me a big ice cream brithday cake, surprised me with it and the songs... ^ _^

Though tis is the yr i am far frm home, but this the love i have received is definitely no less than any of the past years.

Hmm.... at this rate... i think u ppl will be hearing abt me birthday stuffs for the whole of tis mth bah... muahahahaahahhahah

This yr 28, BUT never 38!

THANK YOU EVERYONE,

FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR

SO SPECIAL!!!

YOU ALL ARE

THE MOST LOVELY CREATURES

THAT GOD HAS EVER CREATED!!!

I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!

(Esp. My family!!!)

!!!!!!!Thanks again!!!!!!!

Ps. Wait for me to come back oki,

let me show U all

my APPRECIATION

oki?!!

Best Birthday Present EVER!!!

I really dun care wat other ppl think abt this card; maybe u think its childish, or u are jus sneering or jesting at this card... IT IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER!!!

Last week, my family asked me wat i wanted to have for me birthday, and they will get it and re-celebrate with me when i get back. But i told them to save on the present, i want them to send me at least a postcard. Whenever i have to travel for work, and for quite a period of time, i make it a point not to carry any family pics with me. Becos when i am out alone, looking at family pics is definitely going to bring me to tears.

Now i dun have anything from home, so i really look forward to getting the card from them. At least i have something from them, some words, some tots & effort in getting the card... the pure tot of it was heavenly. I just called hm today and my mum told me abt the card; she said that they did not buy a card for me, instead they made one for me. Hahaha.... WOAH!!! How many ppl will have their family do a birthday card for them at this age man... (My age is none of yr biz, 10q.) Anyway, they said they posted it on the 22nd and it may take 14 days to reach me. So i'm all lit up. Grin... and i started to check my mail box when i got back tdy...

AND VOILA!!!! I SAW AN ENVELOPE FROM SG!!!! When i opened it, its from them!!!!

Its from ME MUM, ME DAD, ME SIS!!! Err... no need to share the content of the card with u all, jus wanna share the JOY i have...

All the tiredness and no good stuffs all melt away, at the point of seeing this card.

I LOVE YOU MUMMY! I LOVE YOU DADDY! I LOVE SIS!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taking time off

Hmm... i noe i been feeling vexed for quite some time, and i guess i finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. I kept saying, or rather using the "excuse" that i'm not comfortable in this new arena of battle; i'm in somewhere strange, and not my own, and i know i wont be here for the rest of my life. All i have to do is to endure and it will be over when its over.

Until today, this was the only afternoon where i had time to myself. I finally got my butt off the chair, in front of the lappy, and also out of the nice air conditioning in the hse. I din really know where to go, jus a place where is plenty of space and air and sunshine. It din take me long to find somewhere to settle down, cos there aint many places that are open here on a sat afternoon.

I brought a few stuffs with me, cos i din really noe wat to do and i wanted to do something that i would do if i am alone back in sg. So i brought with me paperback notebook, pen, a book and my bible. It been a long time since i carry a notebook ard, especially when i got here. In Sg, i love to bring a notebook and my fav pen, and as and when i have any tots i would quickly jot them down. Cos if i dun, i will forget...

So tdy, i wrote my tots... rather than having them all cluttering my head and go crazy, i might as well write them down and see wats really bothering me. Now i know why my SG's care grp leader kept asking me if have settle in when i first got here... i was really wondering wats there to be settle in or not, cos i wont in tears and crying to go hm. Now i know...

Being here feels like being trapped; though i have total freedom but mentally i felt trapped. It does help to know that i will not trapped forever, but it does not help when the date of depost changes from june 07 to sept 07 to oct 07 and now to nov 07. For a moment, u will lose sight of ever going hm.

In times like these, u will start to have wild tots... Some time back i reallt freaked out after having some weird dreams. i dreamt of my family and grandparents, and the tots stayed in my head so persistantly that it scared me. i begin to call back to Sg and to check on my grandparents and family, talking to them gave me great relieve, but it also made my heart wept. I never like to talk or spent time with my grandparents, cos each time i see them my heart bled and my eyes would begin to water. Seeing them aging... and jus by looking at them, the helplessness is overwhelming. There is absolutely nothing i can do for them, even if i tell them i love them, would it mean anything to them now?

All i ask of the Lord is that He keeps them safe and happy, even if he must bring anyone to the heavenly home, pls let it happen after i have gone back. I know God will do that, cos He listened and He knows.

It really does help when u know u belong to God, and that u have someone who is more than ABLE to help u. Think most of u dun believe in God, and u might ask, "why dun tell yr God to bring u, or jus resign then yr God will help u wat."

I said it many times before and i still will say the same thing; I am here for "training", and i believe it is essential to me. Life is the same day after day, week after week, there's got to be more to life than work breathe and play. i believe i am here to be equipped to fulfill watever my life's purpose is to be, to do that i first have to believe that the dream i have in me is alive...

I have thrown my hands up in surrrender and gave up, and this is my second shot... its more like a thought shot, cos i'm not doing anything... BUT ITS STILL A SHOT! Its only natural that i cannot, cos i'm jus a wretch human being. It takes a GOD to break the natural, and i will have to depend on my GOD to do that for me.

no riddles, let those who has an ear hear, let those who has questions asks...
May God have mercy on those who disbelieve...

I am in the desert, i got answer... but... i understand???

A WORD WITH YOU By Ron Hutchcraft
#5313 - "Treasure in Your Desert"
Deuteronomy 8:2-4

We've driven some pretty desolate stretches of the U. S. For a guy who used to wait 'til the last minute to get gas, those stretches were life-changing. A couple of bad experiences and you become mister "fill up at half a tank." But America's desert and wilderness stretches take a back seat to some of the wilderness of the Middle East; especially some of the desert traversed by God's ancient people as they went from Egypt to the Promised Land. Recently, a writer named Bruce Feiler decided to physically retrace some of the geography of the first five books of the Bible. Including the still-challenging Sinai wilderness where God's people wandered for forty years. He spent time with the nomadic Bedouins who make that wilderness their home. He walked the hot sands and the daunting mountains of that wilderness. In the process, he found himself on an unanticipated journey of spiritual discovery. And he learned something about why God led His children through the desert - and why He still does. Here's what this author said: "In the desert, there's no such thing as independence - only dependence."

I think it started when we were little kids with words like these, "I can do it myself!" And we've been trying to do it ourselves ever since - even when it comes to totally trusting God. Oh, we believe in Him. We go to His meetings. We try to live by His commandments, but we want to drive. We're control freaks, especially when it comes to the things or people that really matter to us. We can make it happen. We can make it work. We can think of something. We can fix it.

Then comes the desert; a season in your life when the bottom drops out. Things and people that you've depended on either aren't there or aren't enough. It's dry. The heat is intense. You're worn out physically and emotionally, and there's no road to show you the way to go. Welcome to the wilderness. But before you give up or give in, remember the desert is part of the plan. It was for God's ancient people. It was for John the Baptist. It was for Paul. It was for the Son of God, and it is for you.

Here's what God says about the desert stretches; it's in Deuteronomy 8:2-4, our word for today from the Word of God. He says: "Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert ... to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor our fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord." God says He leads us into the desert to humble us; to bring us to a place where the Lord is all we have. Because that's when we learn that the Lord is all we need. "In the desert, there's no such thing as independence - only dependence." When you come to your Lord in total desperation, running on empty, you open yourself up to an experience of God's power and God's grace you can't get any other way.

And just in case you're not sure you can make it through this desert, listen to what your Heavenly Father will do for you there: "In the desert ... you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way" (Deuteronomy 1:31). And like any tired little child, you'll go much farther with your Father carrying you than you could ever go on your own. The desert may not be pleasant. It may stress you, it may strip you, but there's treasure you'll only find there. Because you'll find the treasure that is discovered only when God is all you've got.

Break Throughs

Just came back from my care grp session here,
hmm... can say i quite excited abt the topic bah...

Have u ever had those moments where u felt stuck in a moment and cant get out?
Have u ever suspected you were the character they referenced from the Groundhog Day movie?
Have u ever dreamed of being someone or doing something when u were young, but to forget when u have reached this age of "capabilities"???
Have u, have u, have u???

I have u noe, i have dreamt of doing alot of things but each time i get stuck; like wanted to be the youngest entrepreneur in the world, following my dad's footsteps... Or i wanted to be an ambassador...etc......etc......

There were many things which i missed out, or had not done... it was a pity, and i try not to regret cos i felt i did wat was the best choice among all the choices i had at that time. Though i had a shot at accomplishing the things i wanna do, but the final choice i made were usually the safe ones, the common ones where other ppl will nod their heads in approvals.

Just when i tot i had resigned myself in a life of non-excitement, this overseas assignment came for me. This was my breakthrough in life, the biggest and most impacting i ever had. It was worth the agony and distress in putting my foot down and executing this decision.

In today's caregrp, i remembered once again it was God who make out the path for me, he was the hand behind all the planning and arrangements. All i had to do was to make a decision, a choice... i have done nothing at all to have tis assignment, all i did was i told God i want something to happen in my life, i dun wan time and life to jus go me by... And God came through! As always....!!!

Becos of Christ, becos of God, i have experienced something different; seeing new things, learning new things, gaining a different perspective on issues, etc...... It is wonderful to have a God who loves you, takes care of you, protects you, blesses you... and at no cost to you.

All it takes is for us to believe that Christ Jesus died on the cross, in our place, that we may take his place; The beloved of God. Wat a great deal, jus believe and u get the whole package...... Nope, no catch... God IS that GREAT!

GIVE UP!

Argh! i give up le! This S.H.E craze is too much for me, i realized that i can no longer keep up with the news and clips and etc... so i going to stop it le... pekchek that there are simply too many files to download, pekchek that there are simply too many files which i missed out... dated from OCT 2007 lor... And also pekchek of the tupid bodoh idiot nitwit internet connection at home. AH! give up...

I guess i be depending on me fellow S.H.E fans frens to keep the clips, until i go back sg to view all... if i still have the mood... One shot see all S.H.E clips from Oct 2007 to watever date i depost is something to look forward for... *feeling better*

Hair Adventure

Woke up late today, and time was running short for me to complete my errands by 4pm. Nevertheless, i was hungry and had to make myself instant noodles with egg and sausages... i'm down to my last few packets, so i'm saving them for really strong craving days. Well, i figured that i was not willing to have a SGD$15 wanton mee here, then i shall substitue with Nissin instant noodles.

The next most impt thing to filling my stomache, is to fill my ears!!! S.H.E's new album is out! And i cant wait for get my ears lock on to their music... so much anticipation u noe!

After setting the thing to download, I rushed off to get fresh groceries, only to find that there are no celery and yam... so i decided to challenge myself and get leek instead. Never cook them b4, so here's the chance to try...

A quick look at my watch its going to be 3pm soon, so i gave up the idea to get the CDRs from a supermart store at the other end of tis town, before heading for the opposite end of town to get my hair trimmed... its going a season changing period, and summer is rite at the doorstep and i think i would be more cool with a trim... after all the hair's getting thick and heavy and i cant stand my split ends any more! Drove one big round to find the tupid hair salon, but then there were these bunch of kidsracing with their 4WD beach bikes... so annoying...

And i ended up at the salon just at my apartment, after all the merry-go-round. It was abt 4pm when i stepped into the place. Before i could say anything the hair salon ppl rally me to go in and sit at the sink... i din even had the chance to check if they speak english lor! ARGH! Then they started to give me hair wash le!

*slap forehead*

Now i have no way of escaping from the non speaking hair ppl, i begin to pray v hard... confessing God is GREAT and JESUS is ALMIGHTY to get me out of this lousy situaiont; praying real heard that they dun try anything funny that i would have to go for a second hair cut to reactify it, or had to wear a cap for the rest of my stay here... EVERYONE was tensed man! The lady kept giving me nervous smiles, and the other lady at the cash counter was like in stunned mode as she see her hairger service my hair...

In short... in the end, it turned not too bad, she did manage to snip off the ends and thin my hair alittle... only thing is that my hsemate couldnt tell i had a SGD$40 haircut at all... i can only console myself that guys usually cannot tell when others had a hair cut, unless the ger changes her hair style from really long to really short or from got hair to botak.

But i still THANK GOD for protecting me hair!!! Halleujah! Its was really HALLELUJAH!

AH KWA - froggie on a chairie



OH NO! - The half sibling of BoxBox...

Cheese Cake #1 vs Cheese Cake #2

Well, i was quite adamant abt learning new things,
i wanted to bring home new things when i depost.
And i dun mean my shopping trophies k......

Making a cheese cake wasnt in my plans at all,
cos i nv had a thing for cakes,
the only cakes i ever eat is probably cheese cake,
cos they dun taste like those conventional cakes.

Anyway, my colleagues emailed me a non-bake,
relatively easy to make cheese cake recipe.
So i decided to try, after all its only going to take abt 30mins,
and then the cooling in the fridge is abt 3hrs minimum.
The ingrediants all v simple and nt too ex.

Here's a pic of my cheese cake #2,
forgot to take pic for cheese cake #1,
cos i tot it failed.

Then actually both failed,
the poll results are out and its 2 votes for #1 and 1 vote for #2,
dunno if vote no. 4 will come in anot...
but then i think if both combine then it will be a decent cheese cake le.




Ps. Though i think the cheese cakes both failed, but they were v useful.
*GRIN* one slice from each batch of cheese cake "barter traded" for a guitar.
WOW RITE?!!! heheheeh

Forgot......

Its been abt a week, and actually i had alot to blog abt,
but now i cant recall...
Think 1 week of information is abit too much for my inbuilt RAM when most of the storage has been allocated to work family and frens related issues. ^_^

Cannot delete these informations lah!
These are the last of my sustaining comfort, no matter for the me who is overseas now or when i am back in sg.

Maybe there are some that i clutched too tightly, but its a process rite...
u will take time to learn which are to release...
slowly one by one u let go...
but then slowly more and more will come trying to take tat free slot...

Very hardworking @ promo huh

Think i feel abit better now. :~(

All grown up

Once upon a time i joined a tution centre, becos my frens were all there and it was fun hanging out together even in the weekends. Then we got to know tis tutor, and as the story goes, we the funloving bunch got along well with her. She was different, and we all enjoyed the time in her class. i cant rem how it evolve to the stage where we all had gatherings every now and then, rem in contact and etc etc etc...

I cant rem how long ago was the last gathering we had, but it was definitely more than 365 days ago. We tried to have a gathering annually, but somehow we all din make it last yr and this yr was a disaster cos i had to fly off the nite b4 the gathering. So i missed it and not many made it either.

But all in God's grace, she is here on this land where i am now. We gotten in touch and met up for dinner last nite. It was so strange; we din get a chance to meet up in Sg, but we met up and caught up here. I guess i gotten to know her alittle better, cos i nv realli like to ask abt ppl's job unless they share with me; Partially becos i dun like to talk abt my work.

As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a teacher... Till date i believe all of us still regard her as our teacher, not only in maths but also in approaching life and handling our careers. Even in addressing her, there are still many of us referring her as the tution teacher... including out families... *grin*

Each meeting up with her will always provoked me to think abt certain matters, this and that and etc... The same happened last nite. As i mentioned, i frequently have dreams since i came here to work. And last nite, after the dinner with the tots in my mind, something is clicking on the inside and i did dream... The only thing is i dun rem it.

But I do know one thing; with me yelling and screaming that i do not know wat i want, i do know wat i want and unconciously i am heading in that direction... jus that the course set is all deformed. Though my paths is all over the place, but when i look back... God has been pulling me back to track when i strayed too far off, even as i do not know wat i wan conciously, i rest in the comfort that the Holy Spirit is sterring me. ^_^

Thank you Lord!

S.H.E Fan

Ok... i admit, i really have to admit the fact that i am a S.H.E fan......

I tot that after some time, i would cool off from them,after all they are a phase of something different or excitement from having a grp of ppl with the same interest; just that this interest is a grp of 3 gals. But my mood and temper been pretty low and fast and sensitive since i saw the not-so-ideal issue. And tdy had been pretty uncool, cos of some minor mishaps, but it still bothered me enuff to lost my temper momentarily at the ppl ard. Dunno wat they think, but i guess its not someting good bah...

Anyway, coming hm tdy, i cannot resist, but look forward to see S.H.E's latest enews special. Thanks to frens who keep me updated and provided these clips for me to view, cos they provide instant remedies to me. Watching them on enews reminds me why i liked they so much, that i m willing to fork $ to support them, buying their albums. They bring me momentarily joy and laffs in those short clips, and lifts the heavy / moody spirit.

I know that the truth and true resolution is God and His word and... u know u know... But i believe that they are also God sent, to help the world in the worldly and temporaily joy. Cos after being so high on them, there's always an end to that high... and that drop and difference is equally depressing. ^_^

S.H.E is cool! But God rules!!!

Good news...

Good news #1:
I m whole again... no longer sick, whole enuff to go to the beach to have some fun!

Good news #2:
We no longer have to move, we are no longer hse-less from july 2007 onwards!!! Initially, the landlord wanted us to move out in july, and it is really a bad thing. Becos, july is the start of summer here, and that would mean all the apartments here are asking for higher rents... i heard from the oldies here that its common that the apartments here cost double the rent when come to summer. So, THANK GOD!!!

This is one great news; actually... when i heard that we had to find another place to stay, i prayed to the Lord that be it that He can help us to stay put where we are, or may He re-locate us to a bigger better apartment. And before we got tis news yesterday abt no need to move, we were offered a bigger apartment with a slightly higher rent and in the same area where we are staying now... So God is GOOD!!! He gave us option to stay or to move, no longer at the mercy of the landlord, but we can choose!!!

As u all know, the two of us are quite lazy ppl... moving hse would mean have to pack and unpack and move and etc... so tiring rite... then going to have another hsewarming party?!?!??! no way!!! too tiring!!! Especially now that there's only 2 of us, rather than the 3... So... WE ARE COOL!!!

Thank you Jesus!!!

病了

昨天和今天的我病了；
最讨厌工作没做完的我，竟然在下午两点多落跑了。
原本已为自己可以忍耐到工作完毕为止，
但试验一直拖到一点多才开始。。。

中午看到跟闻到食物的味道时，
我真的不行了， 让我反胃到一个不行。
就告知大家我先了。

就这样，我带着罪恶感回家了。

到了旁晚七点多吧，
我没办法要出外去接载一位没有驾照的人兄，
在我迷迷糊糊当中又接到一通电话，
还以为是催促我的电话。。。

原来是在地的工作伙伴， 打来慰问我的状况。
他的英语真的有点含糊不清，
让我在放下电话的几秒前才发觉，
他是打来关心的，而不是为了公事。

有点不好意思。。。 因为我一直在聊公事。
但放下电话后， 真的有感动。。。

朋友， 谢了。 ^_^

RESIGNATION

RESIGNATION

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hotsummer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes,but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So . . . here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements.

I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........

....."Tag! You're it."

Pass this to someone and brighten their day

by helping them to remember the Simple Things in Life.

Have You Taken Your Love Break Today?

These few days i been really cranky, i dunno if its the nt enuff zzz, or if its the disappointment i see in ppl, or watever... bottom line was i was feeling lousy. It came on and of, and on and off... when u think u got over 1 hurdle, another came... its jus wearing me out.

God always comes in timely and has the most soothing words, and this time is no difference. ^_^ Its been some time since i read the daily devotions i subscription from my church's webby,
and one came at the rite time with the right words.

Here's some extracts that i like to share with u:

In the workplace, it is common to take coffee breaks, lunch breaks, tea breaks and especially toilet breaks. Why not do the same in your spiritual life — take time out for love breaks?

What is a love break? It is the time you take to enjoy and feed on the love of Jesus for you. At any time during the day, wherever you are, find a quiet spot and feed on the love of Jesus. Just sit down and talk to Him. Say to Him, “Thank You, Jesus, for loving me. Nothing is going to happen to me that You don’t already know. Jesus, when I could not save myself, You died for me. You gave up Your life for me. What else will You not do for me!”

During the day, when you are hard at work, when busyness sets in, when problems pile up or when discouragement comes, just stop everything and take a love break with Jesus! Let Jesus love you. Let yourself enjoy being loved by Him. Lean on His bosom, abide in His love and be nourished by His love for you!

More Breakfast Bears!

The Try Anything Type

You're an exciting and excitable type who truly believes that variety is the spice of life. Routine is not your cup of tea. You savour adventure and relish the impromptu.
Nothing thrills you more than a buffet of choices, be they recreational, professional or gastronomical. You love to wander down an avenue of street fare and sample whatever entices you. If dessert comes before appetizers, no problem!
Would you try choc-coated witchety grubs? In a heartbeat!The opposite sex often finds your devil-may-care approach truly delicious. You'll try anything once, whether it's the fieriest salsa or salsa dancing. At the smorgasbord of life, you tend to gravitate towards the heady delights of the unknown.

The Passover

This whole travelling thing has definitely shown me a lot of things. Seeing new things, meeting ppl, exposed to different environment and stuffs are wat u get. One of the best is to make acquaintance with different ppl, for ppl like us, the main races we know are the Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians... But recently, i have the chance to meet ppl of a different race, from our everyday lives. And they are the Jews, they are the much read abt ppl in the bible, but i have nv made any acquaintance b4.

An opportunity came up for me to befriended ppl of the Jewish blood. And these nice ppl actually invited my fren and i to their Passover celebration.

* Time out - Passover is a memorial event of God delivering the Israelis from slavery in Egypt; Signs and wonders were performed in that time, by Moses, to the Pharaoh, in persuasion to release the Israelis. The last of the signs was the death of all first born in the land of Egypt, and God told his ppl to kill a lamb, and paint their doorposts with its blood. And the spirit of death will Passover the households with blood to other homes.*

To commemorate this release from slavery and the Passover of the spirit of death, the Jews have certain observance and practices that will last abt a week. Before the first day of Passover, all Jewish households have to get ride of all products made with yeast. So it means they will have to get rid of all their bread in the hse, unless its the unleavened bread.

On the first day of Passover, they will have a family dinner where a long table will be set for ALL family members to sit and dine together. Its something like the Chinese reunion dinner, its very elaborated & definitely a WOW factor for me when i stepped into their dinning area.

They also have a booklet, a guide on how the Passover is to be carried out. The nice ppl gave me one to bring back for memorial, and like a curious kitten, i took it and was quite fascinated by it. Everything in it, the instructions were precise and specific. The Jews are definitely detailed ppl, with much self discipline.

I dun think i be going into the details of the dinner, but i can tell u that the whole dinner, in its fast forward pace took 4 hrs to complete. It was a 3 course dinner; 1st course was mainly the fish dish, there was the fish cooked in 2 different ways. 2nd course was the meat dish, which were the chicken & ox tongue thingy. 3rd and last course was the dessert, which had lotsa of cakes & cookies, ice cream and pudding. Other than these dishes, there were the tapas and mini diff salads... and of cos not forgetting all the wine...

Believe me, it was a jaw dropping view… we were definitely stunned!

Eat bears for breakfast!~

Wanna eat a bear?!!!

With this!!!

U can eat bears for breakfast!

Tmw i will try make pancake bears and see how it goes...

(Ps. Moral of story is... when one is too bored... anything haps!)
