The Final Lap - Last Entry of 2006
The regularity of my blogging has been greatly reduced. Not that my life has been less interesting..but i've been busier. Maybe ranting has greatly reduced...and i thank God for that.
This will be the LAST entry of 2006....Tomorrow is the last day of 2006, i dunno to be happy or sad. Though i initially tot that this year will be a horrible year, as i look back, i can only be full of praise and thanks to God. Of course, i was reminded that the Lord's ways are far higher and far more unimaginable than ours...that's why we can't see the big picture.
I've alot to thank God for, if i look into my calendar, everyday is a day to thank God for. i've seen more miracles this yr than any other years, i probably have been so blinded by my own insecurities that i didn't allow the Lord to minister to me the way He had wanted to. This year has been a great year, struggles were always there, but the Lord was faithful to carry me thru.
Today, will be leaving on a trip to Cameron Highlands. I thank God for this holiday, because i was the one who wanted most to go on this holiday. Thank God for precious friends who are always there and ready to give and help fulfill my dreams. This is probably betta than any birthday present. i really thank God for these 3 days that i can spend my quiet moments in Cameron, to end 2006, and start 2007.
Told some, i'm feeling very stressed, and insecure abt 2007, because it's filled with so much uncertainties. But i choose to trust God and be faithful in everything that i do. May He be my rock and my salvation..WHOM SHALL I FEAR?
Amen!
Xmas Weekend
It's been a long time since i blogged, it's probably because i've been so busy that i didn't even have time to sit down and puke my tots out.
This year's christmas was a very different one. Shopping and preparing gifts was really the last thing on my mind this yr. This year, pple who are closest to me are the pple who took that very place in my heart. Anyway, i had a good few days of shopping, shopping for myself haha..also quite dependant on a certain "company" i had....very comfortable to shop and shop till i drop.
Friday had a cell gathering at Chris' place. Short one but i guess our cell has evolved. But still i thank God for the opportunity. Had a long chat with two particular pple, i learnt how it was to listen and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to me and through me. Thank God for showing me that He has chosen to entrust me with things that are precious. It was a good chat, God can turn your nothingness into something worth.
Saturday, had to go back to church for worship pract and then went to PS for some shopping.
Sunday, Christmas eve, tiring but meaningful day. My wishes were fulfilled, very very thankful. It was a simple 3 hrs, but it was more than enough for me.
i woke up with sleepy eyes on Monday, obviously suffering from lack of sleep! Had lunch with half my family and then went to Shirley's place. Two pigs were trying to catch up with their sleep while Shirley was trying to be a good host as much as possible.
This year's Christmas was very simple. Usually i would request to go see christmas lightups and decorations. But this year, i was satisfied without them, and i was happy. Anyway, Canon Benson reminded us that Christmas is all about JESUS. He should be our focus above anything and everything else. If we're looking for anything else to bring in that joyful mood into our hearts, then we have just missed the point!
Thank You Lord for my weekend. I know u were in control, and u were faithful. Again, miracles that i can never understand, happened. All i can say, is THANK YOU LORD, and thank U!
A TRUE FRIEND......
A true friend goes thru with u thick and thin.
A true friend does the craziest thing in the middle of the night despite the extreme tiredness.
A true friend provides u a shoulder to lie on.
A true friend doesn't just leave you in the lurch.
A true friend loves u unconditionally.
A true friend always honours his/her word.
A true friend will always be there by your side, when u need him/her.
A true friend can stand the test of time.
What say u, a friend who comes knocking on your door at 2.30am, just to be there for u?
You're the BEST!! =)
THE WEEKEND - YOUTH CAMP 2006 - FIRST LOVE
It's finally time for me to get down to some serious reflections and afterthoughts abt the weekend that just passed.
It was indeed a blessed time and a privilege for me to gather with the body of christ in the youth congregation this dec to spend time with the Lord. No distractions, just in the secluded land of Sentosa. This is my 3rd time there, but each time i go there, it feels different. Each yr i thank God for providing the campsites for us, because there are thousand and one organizations planning camps during this period.
Proud of the 9-pple camp com this yr, they did a really fantastic job. It's their willingness to serve, as simple as that, and God simply used them. This yr's camp was not a "start" or "end" to anything...but i guess it's part of the process that the Lord has been bringing me thru this year. FIRST LOVE - Something simple but yet profound, because who can say that they fully understand the measure of God's Love? Even for myself, i began piecing together the pieces of jigsaw that the Lord placed in my heart.
i really thank God for my camp group, i guess each member was handpicked, and i've been blessed by everyone of them. The sessions were refreshing, i thank God that He ministered to me in a very different way as the previous years. I thank God for the presence of some pple in the camp, these pple really made the camp very different also for me personally....
Thank God that we had the chance to celebrate Shirl's bdae during the 2nd night...haha, too bad that i interrupted the worship session, but i wasn't gg to allow her to leave without the birthday song. Birthday cake compliments of Mel and myself. =)
This yr, the m'kkies are much more sedated than before. Most of us slept earlier than we would as compared to the last few yrs. i guess we're getting old....Nevertheless, we dun have many more yrs to attend camp. i guess it was really by God's divine strength that i could bring myself to rise up to that "madness" during the camp...."if u know what i mean..." Thank God for every opportunity spent with His pple, because that's where the Lord can use us to be a blessing and also a chance for us to bring honour and glory to His name.
One of the more meaningful time i had over the past few days was the day that we broke camp. Spent some time with the m'kk girls. It's been a long time. Thank God for everything, i guess, He knew that friendships had to be restored. Unity can be found in times where there is chaos. And right now, there's chaos somewhere, but when the pple of God stand together, we believe that we can overcome all things with the Lord!
Today, went to watch "The Holiday" with Shirl, been a long time since i caught a show, the last show was free. Thank God for the time spent. Every chance is a privilege.
God, u know better, pls do something, we believe u can turn the hardest heart of stone into a heart of flesh....we can only depend on You and You alone, otherwise we'll be trying "till the cows come home".
Today somebody has finally mentioned that i'm lagging in my updates....unfortunately yes, i've been lazy.
Monday was good, it was a stay-at-home-the whole-day. Been years since i really left my butt at home, but it felt really good, especially being in a positive and good mood all day made the stay all the better. The highlight was my planting of the Xmas tree in my house! Finally it's up, and it's 10 days late! After all that procrastinating...
Tues, supposed to be unable to join the guys for dinner initially, but God was good, He made all things possible in His time. Looking back again at what happened that evening, yeah, i realised that it was God's first ounce of miracle for me this wk...In the end, i made it there, enjoyed the fellowship with this usual gang that often hung out on fridays and sunday evenings last time.
Wednesday, it get kind of disturbing when i waste an entire day, doing nothing. Well, had dinner with Ms Sim bobo, and her other Sim-mmmy friends. All it takes is for a few pple of equal wavelength to sit together, and poof! U just laugh until u die. i guess yesterday i was quite restrained already. After last night, i am beginning to open myself to more "choices". Dinner was great, time together was great, food was great and i wished i had eaten more!!!!
Anyway, tmr gg for youth camp! Yippee!! i think i need this camp, to assist myself in preparing for the new year. A time, of renewed covenant with the Lord. It's gonna be a precious time for me.
Weekend (Fri-Sun)
Was a great weekend!
Friday, met Dals for a while, and then later met up with the rest of the cell. Went to Hark again, this time to celebrate Roy's birthday. A good number of us were there. Bout 16 or us. It was great time of catching up and fellowship. Also, the entertainment value of our "comedians" were quite high. Enjoyed ourselves.
Saturday, went to Sentosa for Oikos. Thanks Dallas for being there for me all day. My moral support, really. =) Enjoyed the time in Sentosa though i wish we played longer. Haven't been physically active for a while, feeling lazy all the time, the day at the beach was just what i needed! Managed to laze by the water for a while in the later part of the evening. Had dinner with 4 others at Pepper Lunch, IMM. Yeah, memories...2005...went to IMM after our oikos at sentosa too. By end of the day late at night, managed to reconcile with my thoughts, i became a happy girl again! =)
Sunday, woke up early for church. Long day in church, Youth band led worship today. Pastor's sermon was very apt today. Brought across many pointers worth considering and worth thinking abt. God really spoke into my heart today, was really touched...because again i was reminded abt God's goodness to me...and i couldn't help thinking abt how much God really cares abt me.
God reminded me that He desires for me to use the precious gifts that He has given me in my life to give him back the glory and praises, and that will fulfill His purpose for showering us with those gifts. i'm determined to allow only the Praises of God to flow from my lips in thanksgiving for my precious gift this year. i really thank God for my salvation, because without Him, i would have been reduced to a pulp by now.
God, keep my faith going strong, even in days of testing. I believe in You, and Your miracles. You have been faithful. Give me strength each day, to remain faithful to You. i desire excellence, nothing less. =)
After Worship Pract for camp, went to Pandan Reservoir. Spent some time in quietness and stillness, allowing the Lord to just rejuvenate me and prepare me for the week ahead. It's been a long time that i had my "Nature feeding". Thought of the upcoming year, 2 more wks only, and i'm feeling overwhelmed. I want a meaningful year, and that's why i'm afraid of stepping into the new year because i dun want to waste the year.
Bought my new lights, i'm ready to start my tree!
I'm looking forward to the new wk...God give me strength.
I need sleep now.
Wednesday
I'm feeling a sense of unrest in my heart now...even i dunno why...
Just came back from Cell Core mtg. Was a fruitful discussion with a lot to look forward to in 2007.
Spent the day shopping and chilling with C-na. Didn't have much time, but it was fruitful coz we spent $$. Hahaha.
Tmr is gonna be a long and busy day for me. Lord, give me strength to embrace tomorrow. i'll be lying if i say i'm looking forward to it.
Yippee! Mum and Jean are back! They bought so much stuff....yikes...but mostly food. Jean says she didn't get enough sleep the whole holiday. She would have enjoyed it more with more sleeptime. Anyway, now i've some activity going on in my house once again...
Eliza has declared that the living room is hers between 24th-25th of Dec. Yikes. She offered to share with me a portion of the room if i want (like one table space) or i can use my staircase or dining table if my friends want to come over. Thanks hor. i need to get my tree up soon! Otherwise, i'll skip it again.
Yesterday, went to church for QD. Then had supper with the usual al azhar peeps. C-na and i declared yesterday afternoon that we MISS INDIAN FOOD. Soon soon soon!!
i'll never choose anyone else over u again. Never.
'Cause it's a long, long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
It's a long, long journey
Till I find my way home to you
Sigh...i'm tired...had enough of hiding and all...can't i just be upfront and tell u in the face??? i dun need u to say "yes", i just want to tell u because it's something impt to me. Argh!!
Yesterday, i was at home all day, nursing a bad throat and a bad nose. i spent 75% of my day lying in bed. i think i'm falling ill. After a bus ride from home to vivo, i almost threw up. Good thing i could hold it all inside me, probably something wrong with my stomach too....sigh.
Anyway, dinner yesterday was yummy. Despite my bad throat, i still always hold on to the "yi du gong du" logic. After dinner, i felt MUCH betta. HAHA. Met the 'old auntie', Dexian...Chiman and JX. i think the dinner was a gd destresser for the two muggers who had to return to school after dinner to "mug". "Sad life"...as Chiman would usually put it....but nevertheless, a walk in Candy Empire was necessary to help her get back on track with her Candy World.
Probably the next meetup between the four of us, maybe five? will be next yr....by then i would have started school.....=)
Yesterday, i had a miracle delivered to me. The word to describe it is "m-a-d-n-e-s-s". All good things must come to an end....my miracle no.1 has come to past. i'm feeling better today...i think.
Constipated in my thoughts, coz haven't been blogging daily, super duper lazy!
It's been a great weekend. On friday, after meeting c-na and Syl for lunch, went to meet Shir..and we went to Alby, Integrity and Campus Crusade Sale. I bought till i dropped. Literally. CD discount at Integrity was fantastic. Bought about 10 cds, yes, in a day, from Integrity.
At night, wanted to go to Expo to visit my brother at the computer fair where he was working, but ended up, went to Sim Lim to pick up some stuff and then visited new Ikea. Don't ever drive there like anytime soon! You'd probably take half an hr to turn into the car park! Super pack! On the overall, the new ikea looks kinda cool. Has the factory kinda feel. Like "Slumberland".
Saturday, woke up early, after cell, worship pract, then headed for dinner. Went out with the PIC and Vincent to celebrate his birthday at Hark Music. Cool =) Yes, C-na likes that place too, the deco and all..
Sunday..a long long day. After svc, had lunch, then headed to climb the spider web in PP with Dals and C-na. Yes! i have completely overcome my fears of the web and today proved it all again! Anyway, this web wasn't that high, so yeah..i went up and down with no sweat. HAHA! Today is a special day for Vincent W. Got confirmed, and i thank God that i agreed to play for confirmation svc. I guess again, God is gd. He blessed me in His own special way.
I really thank God for the post confirmation svc dinner. The food was abundant! Thank God for the time we had, sitting down in that cool "garden" outside COA. Initially some wanted to go for comp fair, in the end, too late. Anyway, haven't laughed so hard for a long time...u guys were great company! Also, Cadbury Flakes to brighten my week. It's been a long time since i had that, i have been wanting to buy it, but i dun wanna finish it alone.....Thanks.
I thank God for this week that has just past. Mummy's away, i've been stable. Thank God for filling me with His spirit. Agree with someone who said that a mum is a mum, no one can fill mum's place in our hearts, coz it's a different love altogether. Apart from that, as i look back at the week, God was super nice to me, He sent my angel to me everyday! What more can i ask for??
Marching onwards to a new week, so much to look forward to...but i just dunno what yet.... Taking a step at a time, each step of the way. I pray that my wk will be a meaningful and impactful one, though i'm so gonna be deprived of what makes me happy...
but i believe in God.....
and His miracles.
Today is day 2. Home alone in the afternoon.....busily teaching all day, but managed to squeeze in some time to destress and play with my printer. Anyway, i was feeling quite okay today.....perhaps coz i already let "it" all out in the morning.
After my night teaching....an impromptu dinner appt plus another arranged "supper" appt at AL AMEEEEN. Now, that's my favourite Indian eating place from now on! Didn't know they have such cruisine. Food was yummy, not cheap, but ok la. Me and nana were mad, we were suddenly talking abt our Primary school days, and later the talk abt me being the pianist for our weekly school assembly came abt. Yes, i was the famous pianist who had to play weird songs every wk. Here's one of them..(for the sake of our dear friend who has never heard of this song b4......)
On Top of Spaghetti aka The Meatball Song
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.
Tmr, gg to meet c-na and Syl for lunch b4 heading to Alby and Integrity Warehouse Sale.
Am holding on tightly to Him....really tightly.....i can't survive on my own.....i really really can't......anymore...
The regularity of my blogging has been greatly reduced. Not that my life has been less interesting..but i've been busier. Maybe ranting has greatly reduced...and i thank God for that.
This will be the LAST entry of 2006....Tomorrow is the last day of 2006, i dunno to be happy or sad. Though i initially tot that this year will be a horrible year, as i look back, i can only be full of praise and thanks to God.

Yesterday, i had a miracle delivered to me. The word to describe it is "m-a-d-n-e-s-s". All good things must come to an end....my miracle no.1 has come to past. i'm feeling better today...i think.

It's been a great weekend. On friday, after meeting c-na and Syl for lunch, went to meet Shir..and we went to Alby, Integrity and Campus Crusade Sale. I bought till i dropped. Literally. CD discount at Integrity was fantastic. Bought about 10 cds, yes, in a day, from Integrity.
At night, wanted to go to Expo to visit my brother at the computer fair where he was working, but ended up, went to Sim Lim to pick up some stuff and then visited new Ikea. Don't ever drive there like anytime soon! You'd probably take half an hr to turn into the car park! Super pack! On the overall, the new ikea looks kinda cool. Has the factory kinda feel. Like "Slumberland".
Saturday, woke up early, after cell, worship pract, then headed for dinner. Went out with the PIC and Vincent to celebrate his birthday at Hark Music. Cool =) Yes, C-na likes that place too, the deco and all..
Sunday..a long long day. After svc, had lunch, then headed to climb the spider web in PP with Dals and C-na. Yes! i have completely overcome my fears of the web and today proved it all again! Anyway, this web wasn't that high, so yeah..i went up and down with no sweat. HAHA! Today is a special day for Vincent W. Got confirmed, and i thank God that i agreed to play for confirmation svc. I guess again, God is gd. He blessed me in His own special way.
I really thank God for the post confirmation svc dinner. The food was abundant! Thank God for the time we had, sitting down in that cool "garden" outside COA. Initially some wanted to go for comp fair, in the end, too late. Anyway, haven't laughed so hard for a long time...u guys were great company! Also, Cadbury Flakes to brighten my week. It's been a long time since i had that, i have been wanting to buy it, but i dun wanna finish it alone.....Thanks.
I thank God for this week that has just past. Mummy's away, i've been stable. Thank God for filling me with His spirit. Agree with someone who said that a mum is a mum, no one can fill mum's place in our hearts, coz it's a different love altogether. Apart from that, as i look back at the week, God was super nice to me, He sent my angel to me everyday! What more can i ask for??
Marching onwards to a new week, so much to look forward to...but i just dunno what yet.... Taking a step at a time, each step of the way. I pray that my wk will be a meaningful and impactful one, though i'm so gonna be deprived of what makes me happy...
but i believe in God.....
and His miracles.

After my night teaching....an impromptu dinner appt plus another arranged "supper" appt at AL AMEEEEN. Now, that's my favourite Indian eating place from now on! Didn't know they have such cruisine. Food was yummy, not cheap, but ok la. Me and nana were mad, we were suddenly talking abt our Primary school days, and later the talk abt me being the pianist for our weekly school assembly came abt. Yes, i was the famous pianist who had to play weird songs every wk. Here's one of them..(for the sake of our dear friend who has never heard of this song b4......)
On Top of Spaghetti aka The Meatball Song
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.
Tmr, gg to meet c-na and Syl for lunch b4 heading to Alby and Integrity Warehouse Sale.
Am holding on tightly to Him....really tightly.....i can't survive on my own.....i really really can't......anymore...
