this is when i point at myself and laugh

OMG I couldn’t stop laughing coz the floorwork was really difficult OKAY. I had bruises from the practice and sue me not not having flexible or strong limbs to swing it across the floor as though it was peanuts. Notice how I lost my balance??? ROFL! -i just realised i saboed myself by saying that but owellz.

I think D makes a really good instructor and I really enjoy his classes so I can’t wait for the recital to come up and hopefully (praypraypray) I will be able to commit. Whee!

in her death I learnt.

“Dear Aunty ML, I’ve heard how awesome a person you were. I pray that you rest in peace and enjoy your days with the Lord. Love, Serene.”

These were the words I penned down for a woman I barely knew. “You don’t know how many people you impact on until you die” — I told G. It’s amazing - in a mere few hours that I was there, I can see just how close to heart this lady is to so many. I was told that even the cleaner uncles and aunties came down to pay their respect. And while I was at the collection table, we encountered this old man who pushed us a slip of paper with the address on it, and asked if “this is the place, I have been searching high and low”, and who then gave thirty bucks and left. I doubt anyone knew who he was.

This is a perfect example of an amazing woman with a big big heart.

Rest in peace.

it’s here!

This isn’t just some random CD. This is something really special to me - and it came real timely. I think it’s God’s way of cheering me up by sending me a gift of love because tonight as I walked home from work, things had been on my mind — but knowing that God loves me so much that He can heal me completely makes me feel so much better.

I got this CD because Mike’s story touched me immensely. I remember the times when Facebook announced prayers for him to be healed from cancer and I was eager to pass on the message. Because Mike is from Planetshakers and Planetshakers was where I came from. So when this edition included Healer in its tracks, I did not hesitate. And today, it arrived, as a timely and loving reminder. :)

So I became from a sad girl to a happy girl:

v i s i o n .

I’m not sure, but I do feel silently excited and very happy to see friends blessed with the starting/growing of a business at such a young age (and that I am gonna be a cafe girl!). And when 3 days ago I sent an email talking about “vision and consistency in the Lord”, the words never left my mind and in fact resounded even louder afterwards.

As Mark Conner asks, “Do you have a vision? Do you have a dream? Do you have a cause that you’re living for and working towards? What’s your vision? The writer of the book of Proverbs says this … ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish (KJV).’ “

Suddenly, this brought a whole new perspective to the words “career/employment” to me. As I was chatting with S earlier on today, I realise how much we have been brought down by the realities of life sometimes such that life becomes meaningless, especially in a place so focused on the economical development that money becomes a vice. I would admit, as much as I’d thought this job has been a God-given job, there have been times when I get so disappointed and tired that I lose the reason why I believed it was a God-given job in the first place. As I reflected on the things I’d told E over dinner, and to hear from her views on her own career, as well as after reading a friend’s entry, it began to dawn on me the real vision that God wanted me to have and more importantly, not to lose sight of it.

I’d immediately thought of the situation that befalls upon us and realise how important it is to have a company with people sharing the same vision; and when people start to shift their focus on themselves rather than to share the vision of the company, things fall apart, leaving the ones who stand strong in their beliefs… and even when things get tough, it is crucial not to let it blur our vision and to place the situation in God’s hands because with God, all things are possible.

It is so so so important to realise that we are not working for ourselves, but for God, to reach out for the good of mankind.

host gene.

No it’s not supposed to be anything scientific but I am experiencing an adrenaline rush arising from the fact that W is coming down from KL and I. cant. wait!! - I don’t know why but it seems as though I am even more excited than her a la tourist. I have done up an itinerary for her stretching from 10am all the way to late - and even threw in some romantic ideas for her and her beau!

Now I AM getting excited living in Singapore. harharhar.

Also, i’m thinking potlucks, parties, and how to keep my house occupied with guests when my parents are away….!!

Can’t wait for fondue tonight :)

This is what I call, wise and selective online shopping. WHEEE!

I heart Cedele :)

I’ve been eating tons lately. I need to watch my eating habits coz I usually overeat when things get yummy + I get to eat more than what equals to one serving. So, I get bloated and veryuncomfortable when it happens. Nevertheless, not having enough sleep plus eating too much the night before plus having breakfast when I am still bloated didnt stop me from eating much today. :P

Knowing that not many places actually serve pancakes for breakfast - all-day breakfast even! - makes me fall in love with Cedele. Oh fond memories of Australia times. :)

I love it when I can eat fluffier pancakes very unlike those at certain fastfood outlets and I could choose between savoury, sweet, and a mixture of both! Adding on to the fact that I heart German sausages, the lunch today was purrrrfect. On top of that, I got to have my favourite Rooibos tea with my meal! Not to mention, UOB lets me have discounts. :)

Can someone working in Cedele please read this and make me a spokesperson (and serve me free food)? harhar.

dance with me.

The night was great - girls and guys were equally dashing/gorgeous. We had great time teasing and cheering on couples; match-making the singles and making them blush. Everyone was having crazy fun learning the chacha in such a short time and with such fast tempo. The highlight of the event came when wedding vows were renewed - it melts my heart to see husband and wife look at each other in the eye and speak of the vows from the bottom of their heart. It. was. so. very. touching. Pastor also spoke of the 4 As afterwards, ways to rekindle romance in a marriage. So it was all a very meaningful event.

veryyummy. :)

6pm: my handphone rang to alert me of my after-work dessert date with the girls. I got meself a pair of shoes that hopefully holds me up well before the end of the event today… and when exhaustion finally kicked in from the lack of sleep, we got ourselves high on veryexpensivesugar.

But at least they were very very yummy. :)

racial harmony day!

It was very funny.

What turned out to be a good-willed attempt to head down to a birthday party “just for a while” turned out to be an overnight blast of fun - without a glimpse of the birthday boy. It’s just very nice to be able to enjoy urself with people of common interest without all that associated—. I ended up encountering people from all over: Burmese-SouthAfrican, Californian, Nigerians, Mexicans…. of course not to mention, lotsa Singaporeans and some pseudo-Aussies.

I am very tired at work today. But yay to Canele (in almost an hour’s time)!!
