Finally managed to upload photos taken at cafe delmar 2 weeks ago.
P/S : I did NOT drink hor...they are just making me hold the bottles of beer for fun. =P

Parents left for China 2 hours ago. This time somehow was different. Only my brother and I are left at home withot a maid. So...i have to wash his uniforms, iron for him, buy food for him and of course nag at him. haha.. So many things to do when they are away. New maid, get all things done and inform my colleagues before i go back to my studies next week. Kinda excited though...heh..

Today's service was a heart warming one for me. I did not expect this message as somehow or rather i've given all up and just live my life as it is.

Its so true that we get very tired with our routines lifestyle. We meet the same people everyday at work or in school. Wake up the same time everyday, struggling with the alarm clock. But God can make all these different when we seek Him daily and ask God to help us to accept what is there for us everyday and learn to get along well with the people we meet everyday.

"In response to giving, we must recieve. If not, it will never be yours." How often God wants to bless us, strengthen us. But we choose to ignore and turn our back towards the blessings of God. I use to be discouraged easily, and will even let it bothered me for a few days which i hated it so much. I thank God for today's message God promised that the discouragements that are brought to you by man will get strangely deam when we wait upon Him. We shall walk and not faint. I didn't expect a message to strengthen me or encourage me today, but it jus came as i ponder about what i've taught over the weeks. Is it a sign for me not to look right or left but look forward for His blessings? I'm happy. My faith is constantly being renewed. And that is why i'm glad to be found in Evangel.

Got my timetable yesturday. I have lessons on friday night in september. The whole of september. Haiz.... I really hope and pray that there will be a change in timetable so that i won't miss hof. Looking forward to school and also a new maid!! I'm tired of all the washings and cleaning that makes both my hands so rough. Anyway, parents will be leaving for china on wed...which means i hav to do everything myself. Hope the maid will come on wednesday. Praying hard =X

Had supper with huiyee and ying ying at west coast mac on friday. We were like those silly girls running around the playground. Haha..

I met up with my beautiful girls last nite for dinner at sakae. I miss them so much. We talked, encourage each other. I'm really happy to see that though we don't hang out often, we are still so close to heart. No matter what happens, i know they will be there for me and likewise i'll be there for them too. We may not have the same goal, perspective of life, but we'll still give one another our ultimate blessings right?

Feel so much better after talking to mayfen last night. I feel encouraged though i was the one doing all the talking, but i thank God that i began to realise how important our God is and how amazing He is in our lives. Though sometimes i may still feel uncomfortable or don't know why all these just happens, but i trust that i'll get a better picture of what He is intending for me in the near future.

I'm still doing fine without a maid. Just that sometimes its tired to do all the household chores after a long day.. Next i'll cook breakfast for my dad. I've been wanting to wake up at 7.30 but i failed. Hehe... I'll be a good daughter so that at least it helps to brighten up my day.. =) Cheers.

Finally got the chance to upload photos for the KL trip two weeks ago. Didn't realise we really took alot of pictures and some videos too. Heh.. Enjoy.




We spent our first day in Genting, hotel first world. Checked in at 2pm and off we go for the rides at the theme park. While kelvin and sharleen were more daring, jiahui and I just walk our way to those less "scary" rides. Heh... We had K-dinner that day.. And the management give us 1 hour free!! so nice..



Next day, we proceed to KL. Walked around at mid-valley as our hotel is just next to it. Then, we took a cab to chinatown to shopped. I was determined to visit their "night life", the "mama stall". We walked to Jalan Alork for supper.. The ice kachang there is different. Yummy...



Jiahui & sharleen love to take photos of the hotel. Heh... Well, stupid kelvin took videos too in the room. Too bad i don't know how 2 upload videos. We had a bath tub and a shower room. It speeds up our shower time too since there were 4 of us sharing a room.


The 3 photos were taken while jiahui & I were showering. haha.. We heard so much laughter behind the doors. They were doing pumping on the standing bed. Hehe.. They are not so strong...


We continue our shopping at SugeiWang Shopping centre. I bought quite alot and i believe the girls too. Thank God we had our Kelvin finance along..haha.. We went back there to shop on our last day and had a fulfilling dinner at Secret Recipe. Cheers.


Visited Twin Tower the 1st night. I think kelvin is a good camera man. Heh.. We did last minute shopping at KLCC before leaving for supper.

My mum and aunties from malaysia
my mum pretty?


Wedding preparation & photo taking



You may kiss the bride.

At Furama Centre


We sat at the VIP table. I love the flowers on the table. Heh... Mummy laugh at me when i was looking for another bouquet of flowers. Anyway, i manage to grab hold of a glass of red wine from my aunt. The settings of the hotel was good but the food was so-so. That happens to cooking in batches. =)

I had a busy weekend. Tired.. but i should say i did many things over the long weekend. Photos will be updated soon...when i have the time.

Over the weekends, my relatives came over to attend my cousin's wedding. We were busy since thursday night and imagine, i caught 3 hrs of slp each day for 2 days. I'm so tired on friday but i manage to complete what i need to accomplish. Kinda proud of myself. wahaha..

Met kelvin on saturday in town. Together with susan, chinying and friends. Now susan know kelvin.. think they can go clubbing together. They are trying to psyco me to MOS that night. Anyway great to meet up with jacia after some time. We went to cafe delmar to chill and they planned to go ausssie in nov. And i mean really planning and im really saving up. Had fun though i plainly eat ice cubes while they were drinking. I enjoy having my snapple and i mean it. DON'T LAUGH!!!

Sent my maid back yesturday. It was like within half an hour and she is out of the house and we fetched her to the agent's place. Now i have to do the household chores myself for 3 whole weeks without my mum. ArgHz.. i hate to do the washing, drying.. what to do...

Just got a news from my mum. My aunt had a relapse of her cancer. It was a shocking news as i jus talked to her 2 weeks ago at the wedding dinner and she even mentioned that she wants to do some accessories business which me and my mum were keen about doing it too. And we plan to source together.. But now..I don't really know how is she. I'm quite worried. What i can do is pray for her. Its terrible to go through the chemo, those scary treatments.

Life is just so unpredictable. You may see a glimpse of light infront of you but slowly turn into darkness. You may feel its a hope for you and later the door is closed so tightly that you may not even think it can be openned. I am quite close to this aunt. She came over to celebrate my birthday last year. I really hope she has the strength to go through.. May God be with her.

Life. We always rush and chase after things that do not belong to us. We are greedy, trying to earn as much as possible that we even let down all our integrity. Chasing after things that are temporary, worry about things that should not be worried. What can be compared to this, when you know you might even go very soon. Alot might say, therefore you must cherish what you have now. But how many people will really do that? Most people only truely feel the lost after their love ones are gone, but won't it be too late to regret. Do whatever you feel its right and don't regret. However, sometimes, you might not be given the opportunity to do certain things. Perhaps its just not meant to be.

Had quite a long chat with mayfen yesturday after church. I'm glad she feel better after the conversation but i hope you won't do anything silly ya? I can talk, i can relate, but how often can i do what i speak. I understand its not easy, but i'm trying to overcome all the trials, all the problems. Some say i'm being emotional, i agree with them. If not i wouldn't have let all small things affect me so deeply. Yet, again, i've said many times, I'm glad to have a God who listens and comfort me in times of need.

I hope she will be fine. Too many things happen. I don't want to lose another love one. May God use me to touch more lives and help her as she learn to lean unto You.

Huiyee and I went Amore last night after much pestering from me. Keke... Its been long since i exercise and i can feel my body aching this morning. Argh.. More of those lessons to come and i hope i can achieve something within this 6 months. Haha...

Met xinyi and hongyi for a movie last night. haha.. We're the few losers who have not watched pirates. wanted to catch oceans thirteen but xinyi say it was not good. Well.. shall see how. Can't wake up today and i was late for work. Went to buy flour for my "tang yuan". Need to cook them tomorrow. Probably i'll try some today and cook some for my frens tonite when i meet them for supper since i'm picking my mum up at 3am. So late....Think i'll take a nap before cell tonight.

I was feeling somehow lousy over the weekends when i found out something. But because of the grace of God, i'm picking myself up slowly and moving on. I thank God for friends whom make me laugh and spending time with me so that i won't have too much free time to think. However, there will be times when i was alone, walking home, that i wish i could have someone really close to heart, beside me, just beside me. My mum had been treating my cousin's gf rather nice recently. She'll invite her back for dinner, invite her for the coming wedding of my other female cousin. Some thoughts, perhaps if i have a bf now, he'll be invited to the wedding and also back for dinner occasionally. Sweet issn't?

Different stages of life need adaptations. Yee is flying to aussie in sept. How i wish i can join you....

I was talking to jiahui few days ago about how some people whom we are close to last time, no longer show interest in talking to us even during on MSN. MSN is actually very convenient for people whom they can seldom meet, to know about their lives or even some random chat. But we've found out, even if we initiate the conversation, the reply was "ok..... i see.... haha..." and thats it.

Though we have different schedules and lead our lives differently, but i think we can still engage a friendly conversation if we want to isst? Its not that we do not clique, if its so, we wouldn't even clique in the past.
The four years in sqs is memorable. I had lots of fun during the last 2 years in school as i'm more invoice in CCAS, spend more time in school due to our preparation for our O's. We crap alot in class with Mr Seah and also laugh out loud as and when we want in class. The "blur blur" me whom always "huh!?" in class, the waiting of 180 bus to school, the chatting in class and i also could remember how secretly admire my ex boyfriend for quite sometime before we really get together after graduating from sqs. Haha... Now we hardly talk... hardly contact with the class... and i heard Mr Seah is no longer that friendly anymore.

I use to give church people priority and spend lots of time hanging out with them. We use to be so close that we meet almost everyday. We can go shopping, watch movie or even bake cookies together during the festive seasons. I use to have a best friend in church. We talked everything under the sun, give each other encouragements or even share our joy & sorrow. I used to enjoy camps be it church camp or family camp. Those days are over.. However, i still enjoy serving in Evangel, though we're not that close anymore.

The days in Singapore Poly was not that enjoyable. I don't make alot of friends during poly but i still thank God for the last 2 years where i get to know my classmates better. The girls i did project with, like huishan nv fail to make me laugh during class. I remember once during valentines' day, jiahao and kelvin bought something for me. Jinquan whom was my good pal in poly gave me a ride home a few times when i was tired. Though now we don't contact much, but i guess we'll still have lots of things to talk about even when we meet. I appreciate them for coming to my 21st birthday, even those whom i seldom meet up like kelvin and jiahao.

Weiyuan's dad is my dad's classmate in the past. We got to know each other 2 years ago during our dad's annual gathering. It was rather cool when i got to know that actually we both have a few similar friends. We went out together with my primary sch friend guojin and now i've introduced him to huiyee and ying ying. We use to be close in 1 period of time when i start to bring him to church or even meeting up for coffee at night. we started to hang out with weijie also.. And they can really sing well.. haha..Talented young brothers. But we became to drift as we are busy with our own stuffs but i guess a few nice messages occasionally truely warm our hearts. Nice friends...

Its not a new thing anymore as it has been said in the past that friends do come and go. But i've never regretted making those friendships as they are really nice people and had impacted my life. Thank you so much.

Its Friday!!! Its time for church and chill after church. Its always the case but I've been out for coffee almost every night. Had a coffee session with the same old group as its our first meeting after the release of our results. There are encouragements and also advices but ultimately it will still be your choice right? Hope hongyi will be fine and make up his decision soon..

Had a wonderful time with God last night at exemplify. Its amazing how Pastor Vincent can relate so many times to us. The way he share the word, the examples can be so fun but true. Its a good cry last night. Our lives should always live for Jesus. If there is a time when i can really say "Follow me as i follow Christ", this will be the day that I've really made it. =)

Tonight is the last night and i really hope my friends are able to make it. Though we may not be a leader in church, but we are leaders to our friends, to our partners and our family members. Because our lives influence them.

I thank God for my results. Though i didn't do very well, but i'm glad that i've passed. Thank you Lord. However for those who didn't make it, try harder next sem ya?

Thinking about it, next sem will be a tough year. Lots of projects to be done and I'll have to work harder to achieve better results. Its not easy... But i've done my best. =)

Not working tomorrow. But i'll have to come back to office for awhile to ensure everything is smooth before i can go to school to collect my projects and proceed to ikea. Dad going overseas tomorrow... Have to wake up early to send him to the airport. HaIz...tiring...

AlrighTz, time to go church!!

I'm so scared!!!! so scared!!! Results will be out this evening. Lord, I pray that things will be smooth and I'm prepared to recieve what You want me to recieve.

Yesturday at the exemplify with Pastor Vincent Leow was indeed a good encouragement for all evangelites. Heard about his preaching on sunday which was powerful too. The providence was fill up to the brim. He shared about Zeal. I feel that sometimes even if we are on the right track, we as christians still need some reminder from the Lord. Remind us to always put Him first, to be enthusiastic. Pastor gave many examples on how we can be so passionate about other things such as a soccer match while we can drag our feet to church every week. He listed 10 points and it makes me wonder how much i'll score upon 10. I'm really happy to be found in a church that has pastors who preaches messages so close to my heart. Always, i can always cry out to the Lord and be myself. I no longer need to act a strong front infront of Him because He knows my heart. I'm glad to be myself. Thank you Lord.

Went to have coffee with the guys and jiahui after church. Huiyee called me 5 mins later. haha.. Too bad. I have to forgo Essential brews for $1 lemon barley since i've promised them. Yeah! Most probably Friday i won't be working. Might be going Simlim and Ikea on Friday b4 church. I need to get a mirror. Hehe...I'm happy with my TV console and my bed side table. =)

No mood to work now......=(

Went to meet up with the usual cliques yesturday at Orchard. Con, hongyi, susan, yen and jiss. Had mos burger for dinner before going to starbucks for coffee. Hehz.. We always have something to talk about ya? Stayed till ard 11 before we took bus back. So tired... Anyway i hav a new hobby now! Editting pictures. I'm addicted. Hehz....

Feeling so nervous. Results will be out tomorrow. People have been checking results these few days from RMIT website but its not out yet. So kan jiong.. Pray that i'll pass all. Hmmm.. Was thinking of taking a break on friday since i'm sending my dad to airport in the morning. Was thinking of trying to wakeboard.. but i'm still thinking cuz its EXPENSIVE! I'm so broke after my shopping trip in KL.

Should just share some pictures which i took with jiahui at Genting, while kelvin and sharlene were not with us or rather being our photographer. Keke....

Susan commented the pictures above very girly.... so i did another one.. Gosh, i did nothing but editting pictures...

I'm Back!!! spend so much time editting these pictures. I'm not an expert. Still trying very hard with photoshop before that stupid yee is willing to send me the program. Humph.. Had fun at KL with jiahui, sharlene and kelvin before meeting my family on friday. The dinner was quite bad i should say..but i guess i'll appreciate the dinner here in singapore on 15 June. Heh....


Photos will be updated once i get from Kelvin. HmMm..the trip was alright. The last few days in KL wasn't that good. I miss church. I really do. The only difference this time when i'm back is that I've no messages to read. I miss the "day 1, day 2" messages. Well.. I'll learn to live without it.


Had a good talk with jiahui this trip. We both didn't take those scary rides in genting.. Heh.. enjoyed the late nite talk in genting when the other 2 were watching "the saw". Hehe... Glad to be back at home. Thanks to those who said you miss me!! MuackZ.. It feels good to be missed issn't?
