Mr Quang Ming,my little bowl headed darling from HopeKids lol! He got mistaken as my son OMG! Calls me Nosenose cuz he thinks my nose is sharp and keeps telling me 'you're my mother' Lol! ADORABLE! Haha bribed him with sweets the first time to get him to copy down the sermon points haha! Now he brings his own bible and doesn't need any bribing. Not bad not bad hahaha!






Funny face shot! :)
Kids,one of the things which brighten up your day no matter how tiring and bad it may have been. My silver lining :)
Another good thing which happened today! My long awaited Birthday/Christmas/New Year card from Mr SOH WEE KEONG. Took you long enough haha but since you put effort into making the card I forgive you haha! Kudos for the design but still can't believed you spelled Matthew wrongly tsk tsk...

The card and the 2 toy soldiers that camealong with it mistakenly. LOL PLUS B1!!!!!




B1!

B1 the hooded bear sleeping XD
Lol I picked him up at the NUS flea market. He cost me $8.90. Its a little ex but its for a good cause. He was crocheted by the disabled. By buying one of the creations, you are able to not only help the needy but also promote creative works :) Do visit http://www.teddythotz.com/ to support this cause :) You get something cute which is meaningful! Stop buying fast food and start buying one of these and blessing someone with it or you can buy it for yourself!
B1 is real comforting to have around haha actually all soft toys are. He is less eye catching than Zhangyushao so shall be bringing him to school instead. Try to spot him when you see me :) My superhero! Bian fu xiong!





Sweet Memories.




Thanks to all who who attempted to offer a listening ear in one way or another. I wonder if my emotions are that plain on my face lol. Just had someone ask me if I was feeling alright. I have almost gotten over the issue but I guess the remnants still linger on my face or perhaps its the dark eye circles.... BUT good things start happening when you try to have a positive outlook in life despite feeling in the dumps sometimes.

Had a fun lunch yesterday with weird topics of Lobotomy, Chemical Castration, Pills and Sprays and IMH people. Its amazing how we arrive at the topics and I have realised that I just can't understand some people sometimes. Lol! Jon Lim is the real alien who is not on the wavelength of normal humans. I think he needs to stop his verbal lingo or get lobotomy to get normal folk to understand what he is talking. Okay sign to start reading up more so that I can have intelligent talk over food. Don't have much of a appetite recently haha just a growing fondness of sweet stuff. Craving for Sweet talk and Bailey's n Bourbon ice cream almost everyday is a norm now.

Oh yeah about the good stuff. While walking home yesterday I passed by a loading area for good. I saw.... THE SECURITY GUARD ACTING OUT ULTRAMAN and trying to shoot his partner with imaginary energy discs. I guess its one sign that he is getting a little stressed. Its not everyday you have your 50 year old security guard acting this out in public. Thereafter, I arrived home and when I opened my brother's room. I saw.... HIS CLASSMATES HALF NAKED COMPARING MUSCLES..... Yeah. I was in shock for like 3 secs. Seriously I think the guys were stunned too cuz they froze and forgot to pull down their shirts. Guys...seriously...I think I saw their blush through the dark tans. Don't think they will come back for a visit again. Haha.

Another good things that happened. It was super random but my brother dropped by my room one night and gave me a packet of Famous Amos cookies. Woah!!! Haha shocked by the gesture cuz we don't really buy each other stuff. But touched nonetheless. Thanks. The cookies are in my bag now just as and when I need a sweet fix.

Thanks for everyone who has offered to help out in the issue :) You guys rock! I hope that God will see us through this matter and I am praying. Still am. Have 2 presentations lined up and this week doesn't seem very light after all haha! I need all the energy I can get so will be conserving my energy. Eating more sweet stuff would help. GOD you ROCK, or rather you ARE MY ROCK.

Oh went for my massage yesterday. XD The late night and carrying of my laptop gave me sore shoulders. Amazing, I must proclaim the greatest invention. The heated mattress thingy put on the massage bed. I wanna get it one day haha! Its oh so comfortable and comforting. Makes me wanna snuggle and sleep and not get up EVER! Other than physical therapy, I need to have spiritual therapy too haha! Solve the root of the issue.

As I have been going through this period of time, one song which has really perked my spirits up is the song 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus. The lyrics are really meaningful and encouraging.

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
What is the mountain(s) in your life you have to climb and where do you draw your strength forth from?
Love Kat
P.S. Will upload photos soon.
Got a new addition to my family of soft toys.
B1 will make its appearence soon :)

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Today was a real taxing day for me. These past few weeks have really been ones of mental turmoil which have really worn me out. Each and everyday I have been praying for something to happen for God to move.I have utmost trust that he will move,I am just hoping that he will do it soon. It was today that things took a turn for the worse and I really felt like giving up. Facing this issue with Victor and ZZ as we sat at Macs, got things off my chest, but the issue still remains.

That and other stuff made me further realize the truth about myself. I do not like people. I do not like being around people all the time. Shopping, eating or even spending the entire day by myself is perfectly fine by me. Some people may not be comfortable with the idea of doing that, but I have really enjoyed the alone moments. But the truth is, a Christian's life should not be spent alone. Sad but true. With each friendship you invest in sometimes, you are hurt or perhaps face rejection. Sometimes I wonder am I an IDIOT? A major MORON who has nothing else better to do? Why the heck am I still continuing on doing what I do?

Today I received a word. He is the potter and I am the clay and God is really putting me through the furnace now as he is moulding me. I hope that I do not break. I really don't want to. All the good things that have been happening lately keeps getting overshadowed by this issue and it really bugs me. How long? I often wonder. Is there no easier way out?

Kat is just tired. But hopeful nonetheless.

Been really tired lately but I think I have reached to new heights of productivity. Haha I don't know why but when you have more time, you tend to accomplish less. Procrastination suddenly becomes the new IN! Well, I hope that hectic weeks will come to an end soon. Its my 3rd Hectic week in a row now and the workload for each week is like a constant crescendo.


When I am tired and stressed, I tend to develop a liking for sweet stuff. Rewarding myself in food terms becomes a norm! Had Baileys and Bourbon at Udders again, before popping a doughnut from Raffles Shopping Centre. I simply love doughnuts which have loads of chocolate or cream on the outside and inside! Haha I can eat 6 without batting an eyelid. Yummy!


What would you do when things don't go your way, they don't turn out the way you expect and you wonder what the heck am I going to do now. Lol if I felt that I have done my best already, I will sleep on it and leave it up to the Big Man. Wake up and continue trudging down this never ending path.


I have suddenly developed a liking for neutral colours which I used to shun in the past. Have been filling my wardrobe and wearing my pieces of blacks, greys and whites. Haha! Going through another phase I suppose haha reflects my emotions now. Too tired to feel anything haha! I hope holidays come soon! I wanna go overseas and enjoy myself, temporarily putting away my responsibilities in Singapore.


My own personal retreat. I don't even mind travelling overseas alone haha! Perhaps I shall retreat to Hong Kong and shop all day! LOL! Wake up at 12pm and have half price dim sum at 2pm. Shop at my fav hangouts Mong Kok and Yuen Long. Eat steamboat buffet dinner till 1am then retreat back home to sleep. Haha the cool air there truly does your face some good. iI didn't even have a single outbreak over there, but it may be due to the low levels of stress I experience there all the same.


All you stressed out souls out there! Do remember to take a breather and give yourself some TLC. Remember "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Turn to the Big Man.


Kat is Tired (Squeezed Kat)

Looking at things from a Godly perspective. I shall magnify God and not my problems. With God all things are possible, so I don't have to worry so much :) What a great sermon today. Really spoke to me volumes. Enjoyed helping out at the Hopekids Ripple Conference after. I don't feel as tired as I thought I would be, I feel energized. but my dark eye circles are telling so I am off to sleep now :) Goodnight Folks!

Loving the Mickey Mouse modules on my braces XD

My dear friend. You have made me speechless. Its so discouraging sometimes. "I wonder if the work of my hands mean nothing at all..." How true, my sentiments exactly. Doesn't matter how much effort I make does it? Too tired to think about it at 12am. SERIOUSLY. SPEECHLESS.

Kat is very discouraged

Woohoo loads to report on! This is news on KatTV concerning a certain individual called Kat's life! Firstly... my masks I ordered online arrived!!!!! Woohoo I bought 5 white and 5 black Shiseido masks! Before you label me as a spendthrift, they are one dollar per pc only plus with 10 pieces I get free postage so actually I am smart shopper lol :) As I am typing, I am trying the black one now haha! Shall review it after I peel it off. It removes black heads, white heads, unwanted facial hair (hmm... what if you apply it on your eyebrows? Will they come off LOL XD). It lightens dark spots, pimple marks and scars on your face. That's what the product description says haha but we shall see.

The masks :)
Don't you miss Zhangyushao?






Second piece of news. My younger brother decided to go to church lol! Somehow or another both of my younger brothers have come to know Christ in 2009. Woohoo! God is great! Went to Bras Basah to help follow up Ming Xi today and I decided to buy the assessments for my brother which is long overdue. Although his math has been improving, got 21/30 for his last test. An admirable feat. ( guess who tutored him XD) His science grades leave much to be desired. So I took it upon myself to devote more time to his studies haha not my own lol! I find myself playing a dual role in my brothers' lives, as a sister with the responsibilities of a mother. Not that I am complaining, many valuable lessons and experiences I have gleaned. You grow up a lot faster. While waiting for Ming Xi and Guan Zhen, I saw Tecman and I thought why not? LOL got him a bible as a reward for his improvement in Math and a book for New Believers which would come later on. For those who think I don't manage my finances, haha this is where my money disappears to also okay! LOL! To bless people hahaha!


The bible I bought

A note to him

Great time talking to Guan Zhen and Ming Xi. When you put 3 normal girls together, the convo will never end lol! There is so much to talk about under the Sun, and I am not even counting God yet. Haa! Tonight's the night to complete a round up for my test on Science of Music tomorrow. O yeah and i got pink mickey mouse modules for braces today LOL! Amazing!




Kat was here :)

Sweet Memories.




Attempted to play some soothing music on the guitar with my fingers which are now non callused from lack of practice haha! My brother broke one string and had it restrung today. I think he is tone deaf lol! It was totally out of tune and he had apparently tuned it. I attempted to tune the guitar myself with my trust elec guitar tuner courtesy of Mr R. Thanks! Its still working fine even after 3 years haha!

The guitar was driving me insane as although it was tuned according to the tuner, it still sounded out of tune. It was quite depressing as this dragged on till 1am... Finally, I realised what the matter was. The tuner... I think my brother tinkered with it in an attempt to tune the guitar and he had changed the key of the tuner to F... After I changed it back to C, the issue was resolved. I finally mastered 'Blessed be the Name' Yippee! Bad music gets me depressed so haha playing the song made me real happy and I didn't sleep till 2am. I shall make it a note to keep to my New year resolution and start spending more time with the guitar of mine who has the initials C.M. XD Named after my fav Jap male singer.

Ooo and the masks I ordered online just arrived! Extra reasons to be happy! :)

Sweet Memories.




Yay I have finally cleared things up as a follow on to my previous post. Really glad to have been given the chance to talk it out with the person. I now realize the extent of a foul mood I can get into when factors all come into play. Tiredness, stress ... ... . Not a good result at all. I think that issues should be settled with the person himself, and not just brood and speculate about it. I believe tt's one of the pitfalls we all face in our lives, not clarifying but assuming. Thus one of the principles I have come to adopt is to hear the person out and give him a fair chance to defend himself/herself. However, I am really growing in this aspect too, because in certain incidents it is very difficult to go to the person and really talk openly, especially if we had previous conflicts, don't know each other very well or I simply don't know how to approach the topic. I will and must grow. Hopefully let lesser things bug me :) I shall stay positive with peace and joy flooding tis' soul o mine. Haha ever since I have taken to reading English literature, I feel like communicating in Old English too! XD


CG today was great, we had it at SMU. I really thank God or how much my CG has grown, in numbers, in maturity, spiritually, in openness in the family warmth. :) Too much to list and thank God. I really commit each and every single one of my dear brothers and sisters onto the hands of God. May each of their fears be put to rest by God, any issues at hand settled together with God and may they live each day with great joy, peace and the love for God!!!


I shared a verse during praise today

1 I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD;

let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me;

let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;

he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;

their faces are never covered with shame.

Psalms 34:1-5

We should always praise the Lord! Be it in good times or bad times, peaceful times or stressful times :) When we are able to praise the Lord even though circumstances may be against us, we will be able to find joy and persevere on through the tough times :) Seek him when you are sad or lost and he will be with you! I was greatly encouraged by this verse and even though my week is very hectic, I am still able to find joy. There may be hiccups here and there, but I will stay strong and rooted to the word!


After CG, we went to 'Screme (issit?!) in SMU too. The meat lover's pizza was fantastic! 2 thumbs up! The oreo milkshake was insane!!! 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream! Haha when i was waiting for my drink the guy at the bar offered me some beer lol. Its not like I am an alcoholic or anything but it was really good. Its a fruity type of beer imported from Germany and is selling at special price of 16 dollars for 2 bottles so do go grab them if you want a drink that is light and I think has very little alcoholic content. Toasted Gui Xiong and Johanna who got free samples too haha! Too good health I say! XD I am starting to love SMU lol! The eatery even had pool tables and wii! I attempted to conquer guitar hero with Johanna but sadly failed... I shall try again next time hahahaha!

Sweet Memories.

Yay for this post i really want to give thanks to God!!!

Note to God:

Dear God,
thank you for keeping me clear headed today during my presentation! It would not have gone so well without you :) Thank you for allowing my brain to program quickly to answer the tutor's questions. I simply loved the adrenaline rush of enjoying a presentation. Thank you for helping my brain to warm up and shake of the holiday mood. I was able to cover so much material today, finished studying for my mid term on Friday and loads of work.

Love Kat :)


Things were really looking great this afternoon. But as the night came I started lapsing into a state of frustration. I REALLY Really really dislike last minute stuff and lateness. It may be impatience or due to my personality, but can you honestly tell me you are perfectly okay with those two things above? I personally think once or twice is understandable due to traffic jams and stuff, but Almost ALL the time?! It is really getting out of hand, you are really telling me that you do not place much importance upon the issue. Are you telling me that the effort I am required to put in and the time spent is not worth much too? Show me some sincerity and change please. I am really getting very tired of it. Letting the bomb drop at 12am is truly the ultimatum (makes me feel like banging my head on my desktop). We are all students with tight schedules, if we plan our time well I sincerely, truly, honestly believe with all my heart that the matter would not have dragged till 12am or on a short notice. Be understanding ... good-spirited yes, please help me understand why are you doing things the way you do? Show me that you are attempting to change?


Kat is on a short fuse with lack of sleep and many things to settle...
May tomorrow be a better day.
Let tonight be filled with peace. Think positive.

Sweet Memories.



Tuesday, March 10, 2009

This is going to be a very very busy week. Pray that I might be able to remain sane. With 3 projects, one midterm up this week, ripple conference on Saturday and tuition on Sunday, the week sometime passes too quickly. The just slips out of your fingers and before you know it, another week has passed. I pray that I might stay focused and at the same time make the most out of the little time I have for leisure. Going for a movie 'Slumdog Millionare' (heard rave reviews for it, let's hope that its as good as they make it out to be. I need it. ) this wed with my sheeep. Looking forward to it. Would be a good chance to spend time and to rest a lil'. Feel that the stress is going to erode my weight again. Better watch my food and salt intake. :) I am going to stay calm this week and have peace and joy no matter what people say or how they act. My nerves are my own and no one is to get on them! XD





Verse of the day:

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23


Kat wants joy and peace. :)

This is a rainbow as many of you guys know, but do you know the significance of a rainbow? It first appeared in the bible after God sent a terrible flood to rid the world of the sinful human beings, leaving only Noah, his family and his ark which contained the world's animals. After the flood, Noah looked up to the sky and saw a rainbow. It was a symbol of God's covenant (promise) with us. That he would never allow such a catastrophe upon human kind ever again. For me when I saw it after service on Saturday, it was God's confirmation to me of his promises and all the things I have prayed for.


I received a word on Saturday loud and clear. "Submission". Questions fill my mind, but at the end of the day we have to submit to God given authority on earth. I have finally reached a con census with God and myself, which is really less stressful for me mentally. Even though I may disagree at times, get angry and impatient, I will still submit. that's my covenant with God. it will not be easy given my character, but with God all things are possible.

The rainbow :)



After service, with a strange and interesting turn of events, Me, Nettie and Bentay ended up fellowshipping the night away together on what I deem to be "Bentay's Night Safari Trip". First stop was Udders, next to United Square which i mentioned in my previous post. Again I had Bailey's and Bourbon. Fantastic stuff. I really liked the ambience there, so did the rest. Would love to have my own home in Novena too in the future if I should move out. :) Peaceful neighbourhood, just be cautious of dangerous banglas lurking behind your homes.... After we left Udders, we went to Bentay's house to collect his car! A car IS very useful and important so guys please go learn and you will be able to have interesting outings and send your fellow sisters home hahaha!


Bailey's and Bourbon

It is good!!! Ooops unglam pic of my sheep. Do tell me if you want me to crop you out Nettie!!!
It went crazy after Udders. We went to eat Bak Kut Teh at holland V (I think) haha I can feel myself increase in fat content lol! It wasn't as good as the one near my house, but the soup was not bad. On our way to Dempsey, Bentay's car kissed the one in front of him. I was super horrified before the cars had contact and when the cars touched, it was sorta like a bumper car feeling. please guys don't tailgate! The cost incurred is not worth it. Thank God that no one was hurt and Bentay's car was unscathed.
Now onward to Dempsey. Always wondered where the rich hung out! Haha it looks scary at night and we had fun talking to parrots, hunting toads and spying on a Girca Camp.(Is it spelt like that?) haha they sound like scary rambo warriors from what Nettie and Bentay described... Hope I don't ever meet one.

Hail Mao Zedong!

The intelligent parrots

Just a lil somthing for you readers haha! Its a lil loud so you might want to turn down your speakers. But then again you might not be able to hear the parrots talking. XD

After getting 4 hours of sleep, I dragged myself to Hopekids again. And I am now finally a registered volunteer at Hopekids!!! :) Look at my name tag!!!! Haha its a Hopekids Pod



Front
Back






Hopekids was great as usual today! Enjoyed praising God with the kidshaha! Actions are always fun! Met new and old kids today. Had a great time playing games with my CG and hearing how their week has been. :))) It was great!

I just had a lot of musings today:

Holy Discontentment VS Rebellious
Disagreement VS Disunity


Just had a Sub D meeting on thursday. I was really thinking to myself. Where the line was drawn between Disagreement and Disunity? I guess in both cases your motive may be pure but its how you present your views and the spirit you come with that determine which side of the line you fall into. Most of the time, my disagreements arise from a holy discontentment. Not trying to sound holy here or self righteous but sometimes. I don't understand how we can have a more laid back attitude with our ministry as compared to perhaps our school work. Not judging anyone here but I really wonder sometimes why do we treat the matters of the Kingdom of God lightly? I understand that things take time to change but you have to do something about it right? I don't want to seem rebellious. I really don't. Who wants to? Each time I feel this urge of discontentment I reflect and check my motives. Do I want things done because I feel it is the better way or because I believe that God's Kingdom will benefit more? I am doing it for God, I came to this concluson at the end of much reflection and self questioning.


'Words are cheap actions are deep'. I have no idea what direction we are heading towards. What is our vision? 'Without Vision man will fall.' I believe this with all my heart. So what is our vision? What are we working towards? Do we even feel excitement that matric is coming? The harvest is near. So how's our heart preparation? I yearn to really feel the fire of excitement to save more souls. To see changed lives, souls saved. I don't want to feel bitterness upon seeing no change, but it is all right to have a laid back attitude and just 'Let nature take its own course'? I am really worried.


I guess my stand for now is to remain positive (my current resolution). Pray that God will make a way. I don't think Holy discontentment is a bad thing. It is something that drives you on in your spiritual walk with God and allows you to grow to even greater height. I feel many lessons to learn from approaching. A time of pruning. It will be painful but I will get through. :) We are all able to be history makers!!! Let us not be restricted by any fear!!! Onward warriors!!! XD

I have been spamming myself with music all day, deciding the genre I should go with in my midi song composing. Orchestra? Too complex! Heavy Metal? The drum beats along will kill me, not to mention the elec guitar! I think I shall stick with something light and constantly add more instruments to find the perfect combination. I shall stick to the genre of haunting and enchanting music.

I have been able to spam myself with music with the aid of my trusty mp3 player. I have never been a fan of apple, never felt the need to buy apple products. They are too fragile for my tastes haha! I have dropped my samsung countless of times, but its still good. Not to mention its multifunctionality. I simply love products like these. It not only acts as a mp3 player, it is also equipped with a voice recorder, able to connect to a radio station and the greatest ability of all to store data. It has a USB at its end, makes it super convenient to plug into a computer. I love it!!! Haha just discovered its radio capabilities a while ago and I have it for already over 2 years lol! Yes! I know I am slow.

My new love: Samsung YP-U2 XD

Amidst my spamming of music via 98.7fm, I found many great songs! One that got stuck in my head was the song 'Unbeautiful' by Lesley Roy! Do listen to it for its honest lyrics, heartfelt singing and finally the great voic behind the song. Don't think I can create something like this just as yet haha! BUT! I shall try my best at creating my own music composition now. Do tell me if you have any expertise in his area. God knows I need the help! :)

Yay today marks the end of hell part 1. Haha its nearly the end of the week! Yay! But more tests presentations and projects and tutorials and reflections and programming and Hopekids to come lol! I am getting worried and scared even as I typed the whole jinggang of words just now. Nevermind its ok! God is with e lol!

All the best for the week ahead people!

What do you do when you are stress? You do meaningless things to fantasize that you are free from the clutches of work. Like for instance : doing a survey haha! Found this when I was blog surfing and it looked quite interesting.

The Five Love Languages

My primary love languages are probably
Acts of Service and Quality Time.

Complete set of results

Acts of Service: 7
Quality Time: 7
Words of Affirmation: 7
Receiving Gifts: 5
Physical Touch: 4


Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz


Interesting aint it? How we all have two eyes, one nose one mouth, 4 limbs etc etc... ... as my sheep has once said and yet we are all different and unique in our own ways. Our love of languages differ too haha and I guess that may play a role whether big or small when we build friendships and relationships. I guess God added this to spice up our lives a little and make his viewing from heaven more interesting.

Words of affirmation was my love language in the past haha but I guess I have come to realise and internalize the fact that 'Words are cheap and actions are deep'. Isn't it interesting how our character traits, habits, love languages or even spiritual giftings differ with circumstances and experiences we are put through? Each of our lives is like a show and its up to us whether we end up in a happy ending or tragedy. :)


Okay time to get back to work.

Sweet Memories.




It is 12am and I am not asleep yet. I am dead tired. I repeat DEAD TIRED. I still have assignments to rush. Zzzzzz... There are so many deadlines looming over me, so many responsibilities. I cannot wait to throw them off one by one... Projects, Tutorials, Mid Terms and Programming. Each takes a part of my time away. God save me!


Cast all your anxiety on god because he cares for you.

Amen.

Tuesday, March 03, 2009

This post is to commemorate the birthday of a loved one! Ms YUEH HUIYING (aka my spiritual buddy). We celebrated her 20th last friday. Haha you are the first to hit 20! Getting old eh? It will be my turn in like 8 more months! You better start looking around soon girl haha before you start panicking when you hit 25 lol!




We had 2 stops! First was Spizza at Balmoral Plaza! I am not a fan of pizza, rather have a leg of lamb or chicken. BUT! I may say that it is indeed one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The menu itself is interesting cuz all the dishes are named after ladies! Where they got the names from,I have no idea haha! Perhaps its random or the names of the ex-girlfriends the owner had haha! (Then it must be a lot! Haha Over 50+) Its 17 bucks for a medium sized pizza and 21 bucks for a large one. We ordered 3: Ursula, Tara and Sofia. The pizzas were FANTASTIC! Haha I think I can finish off 1 large pizza all by myself. My personal favorite is Tara! The meat and button mushrooms are very good combination. The salmon and spinach on Ursula tastes very refreshing and healthy! Sofia was just okay in my opinion.Hey when you are hungry everything would probably taste very good right?



Haha and on the menu I spied a pizza named 'Katerina' lol! (someone mentioned that it would taste bad... -_-) It has loads of meat in it and I hope to try it one day! Bet it would taste good!) Just in case you guys are interested, they offer home delivery service too and here is the link for the menu! I think the pizzas are worth its weight in gold.




I think Cai was doing something weird when I made this face.












The ambience there is not bad, my only complain is the heat in the outlet. It is housed in a open air concept, with fans and air cons to cool its patrons down but it was a tad too hot for my tastes on a humid night. There was a live performance by a guy lol singing and playing his guitar. Not bad haha but was sadly overtaken by an over enthusiastic kid from the crowd who sang and played on the piano beside him haha!



We got 6 mini cakes for Huiying yes you heard me right 6 CAKES!!!! It was really creative, kudos to Mavis and we had a good time eating the cakes.

The birthday girl and her cakes!


Our next stop was Udders located beside United Square. I must say that I am turning into quite an alcohol appreciator haha! I thought that the alcoholic creations were really good.Bailey's and Bourbon & Rum Rum Raisin are my personal favorites. Don't really like the Green Tea there, its too creamy and not bitter enough for my tastes. I really like the place cuz you get to leave your own mark in the shop. They put up black acrylic boards at one side of the shop for you to leave your msgs.






Group shot!

Haha I think I stood a tad too near to the camera









What you would look like if you are stoning or have your cheeks ful lat a buffet :)

This post marks a joyful day! Haha! Well it started from last night. Walked with Sher Li and nettie along Orchard Road chatting about random stuffs ahaha, was quite an interesting and funny talk that left me gasping for air in between fits of laughter. I think that having a sense of humor ( a good one mind you) is a gift and a blessing. The joy you bring to others amidst the laughter is something not as easily invoked by other matters. I think I read once in reader's digest that "Laughter is the best medicine". So true! I really love to laugh so please do joke with me once in a while. please let it be a good one mind you? Been hearing lots of bad jokes that made me roll my eyes to the back of my head haha!


Went to play L4D after the walk with my CG guys and Swee Leong and Wen Jiang! Cool stuff. Its strangely relaxing haha when you play the game killing stuff and all. :) yes its relaxing. Got to hear that the NS guys got a ban on LAN haha. Oh wells I shall be careful to play in moderation. Experienced the aftermath of getting addicted once so I won't do it again. Escapism haha! To another world devastated by an apocalypse. Hordes of zombies out for your life and you have health packs, bombs and ammo to fend yourselves against this horror. Its sure interesting haha.


Woke up early today at 7am cuz I have Hopekids duty. Haha stayed up till 2am last night preparing and completing other works so when i woke up I felt DEAD TIRED! But thank God for the cold, woke me up a bit haha! Its really great, the vibrancy and energy you encounter in different services. Really glad that I got the chance to experience different ministries. No comparison intended. Hopekids is really wild abandonment in praising god! Haha we sang We Wanna See Jesus Lifted High and I Am Free. LoL! We ran around on stage for the latter and had actions for both songs. It was really refreshing and it really was fun seeing the kids praising God too! It doesn't matter what age you are or how you praise him, but when you praise together you can really see the presence of god in each and every single one of their tiny beings. Wei wen was there to enjoy the moment with me haha!


I feel really honored when I reflect upon the knowledge that I am helping to groom my 5 kids (Bowen Stephen Josiah Michelle Nathalie) in my CG to be equipped with the Love for God and Word of God so that they might be able to use these in their daily lives. You have a lasting impact on the youths of today, they are still at the age where they can be easily moulded, all the more we should be careful and place more importance into this work. Really pray that I would be able to get to know them even better and offer them advice when they need it LOL! Haha we played two games for CG today and the kids are super amusing! Haha the guys are at the age where they don't want to care about anything or listen to anything haha! The stage of 'being irritating'. And sadly some around me haven't grown out of that stage yet lol! Its MUST be a GUY THING. But they do listen when you talk to them firmly so thank god. Haha one thing I learnt about boys (small kids) from my relief teaching and interaction with kids is that you have to be firm yet not overbearing, listen when they speak so that they would do likewise for you. You have to gain their trust and make them feel that you are 'all right' ( no other better phrase that fits this).


'Tis truly strange, the mind of a small boy. Haha! For the girls yes yes more sensitive and blah blah blahas people usually stereotype. They share easily and are quick to trust, but you have to really make sure that this trust does not break. Because if it does, haha you are halfway to making the relationship a goner. So haha I guess there are both pros and cons of handling children. I find it real interesting, so I had in mind the thought of becoming a teacher LOL! Shall think it through again...


Haha whenever I am in the presence of many kids I feel a great joy! XD I am like smiling 90% of the time in their presence lol! I met a super cute kid today he is called Thaddeus haha! From Hopekinders and is as cute as a button. It was real fun when I carried him and ran around lol! Haha it is a nice picture that is painted not a scary one so get whatever horrid thought you have outta your head!!! Yups its great to be serving in the kids ministry.


Went to visit Matthew Yong's grandma later with Wei Wen and Yili. She looks weaker and frailer than the last time I saw her. Poor grandma. Will be keeping her in prayers! :)


That concludes my day which is well spent doing meaningful things! Yay! Time to battle the exam monsters! Hope to eat some good food soon :(((((
