Havent been blogging. Even the hols didnt feel quite like hols... But good, at least i get abit of rest here and there. Started reading again =D Doing both fiction and christian books. heh.. Fear of the Lord, i hope i dont take as long to finish it as i took to finish my previous book =( but this book is.... pretty good... I just read about how holy and great God is that the angels declare holy holy holy. And tonight during preayer meet, we actually sang 2 songs related to it. How cool =D Watch a night in the museum 2 with cheryl and phyllis. I like =) Really nice show, fun and interesting.. True happiness is when you are doing the things that you love. =D Did a survey which i wanted to do soooo lng ago. on spiritual gifts and turns out that my spiritual gifts are shepherding and serving. hehe! http://www.churchgrowth.org/cgi-cg/gifts.cgi Labels: A simple life, Serving God -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:55 AM
16 june 2008... i reported to school. Gosh, i am not a student, but a teacher!!!! Feeling kind of excited, yet apprehensive and nervous. Haha. Talked to ms goh for a while, catching up and sharing... =) Then... i went to colour my hair. my previous colour was a little to light and golden, so darken it. expensive... very... :( but it does feel good to have my hair shorten and thinned. smooth and straight. =) Still feeling.... excited, yet nervous... =D Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 12:35 AM
Went ITE simei... actually my views on ite has changed slowly after hearing and getting to know ITE students in 2004. But seeing the programme today made me feel... wow.. they are pretty good. =) No God's creation is forgotten. And the reason i wanna blog is... i had salmon's belly and fresh scallop for tea! joking... this isnt the highlight of the day. But they are still nice, and cheap at parkway basement, beside the cocoa tree. huihui hates fishy taste, so they are not. haha.... Ok... the reason to blog is... i went for prayer meeting and meet up with God! Met buddy and had a good time shopping, talking, laughing, eating... and prayer meet was good. I met up with God during worship and prayer. Just a very peaceful encounter, and it was sufficient to refresh and strengthen me. Just one moment... is more than enough for me. =) Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:18 AM
Updates! haha. Practicum has been ok, just a little tiring because i'm planning lesson every day. My friends at practicum are fun, enjoy myself with them. =) Now it's holiday, so i hope i can plan more lessons, then during the school term, i would have more time to mark, to hand in my lesson plans on time and to do other things. Dance had been good. We had been joining the adults to do ballet. Royston would lead super stretching warm up, sarah would lead cool circuit training, then kelvin will teach us ballet. Really like it. haha! i've learnt new skills, hopefully to apply them and improve my dance. Oh, and i lost weight. HAHA.... dance dance dance! Church is great too... Not like i am walking really strong in faith and woohoo kind. But i know that God is at work in our lives, dealing with issues of brokenness, intimacy, discipline... And pastor has been reminding us, that as we press on in this 40 days fast and a psalm a day, God is going to reward us. The sanctification weekend next week will just be a small taste of what it will be like. He is going to pour forth! question: are we standing in the direction of His flow? Reminded me of what pastor paul shared during one of the dance practices. He was having G12 on wed, and he saw a vision of a dam. A dam is used to generate electricity because the flow of the water will turn the turbines. And God is telling us, that He is going to pour through the dam and generate such great power and electricity. We are the dam, the turbines... if we stand in the flow of the Lord, He will pour onto us and give us suc great power! Don't stand at the side to watch, don't miss out, come and experience that power! Been trying to wake up early so that i can spend at least half an hour with the Lord in the morning. Not one hour, but it's a struggle because i'm not having enough sleep. haha. And i dont feel like wow wow kind.. just a peace that i am doing what God has called. Somehow i sense that God is testing me, wanting to train and discipline me, so that i can press on through this 40 days fast. Slowly, i only fasted from computer games, then past 2 weeks i'm trying to wake up earlier, havent really spend one hour everyday, but trying. Now i'm trying to fast breakfast. I'm not perfect and like doing everything well, but i hope i can please God and press on in what He wants me to do. Last thurdays was leaders' meeting. Pastor Eugene shared that to have a heart transformation, we need a heart that is tender, teachable and transparent. Unless God can transform me, He cannot use me to transform others. Pastor Julie shared that we need to set our minds and hearts to follow God's way, because when we have a made-up mind, we will have the power and determination to do God's things and follow His commands. Then Pastor Yang Cherng shared about courtship. HAHA. he is really funny please. =D Also celebrated pastor laifun's birthday. Happy Birthday grandma! I'm praying for Your will be done in my life. Lead me in Your ways Lord. =) Labels: A simple life, School, Sharing with you -The Princess Jesus Loves- 6:03 PM
Happy Chinese New Year!!!!! Time passed so quickly, it's already CNY... and i have a lot of assignments due after it. hehe. I'm trying to do them, not very efficiently though. =P Had RoLLED reunion dinner last fri. Had to sit alone after rearranging everyone to make sure the younger ones had people to take care of them. Me and min have to sacrifice. But i'm still ok, because i was sitting with ps eve's and ps lily's side. My table had no guys! HAHA. Girl power! and we won in the games ok. =) Got to know new people. And dear bel won the 2nd prize! blessed! Sun service, dancing on stage. Tiring... and i danced wrongly! And it was captured on camera! i laughed so hard when i saw it on online streaming. i was in diff direction as precious and case. HAHA. pai seh... =P But i enjoyed myself, dancing in the freedom of the Lord! Sermon was by ps eugene. Come!!! Spent the week packing my home, doing some work, playing games. haha. CNY was normal... dinner at uncle's place. Then visited on thurs again. My CNY is usu boring. Gonna visit pastors tmr. hehe.. baby reuel!!! And.... the biggest news for the week... is.... my.... posting for practicum! Was super jin zhang when min told me on wed, checked it out and poof! i'm posted to..... *drum rolls* _____ secondary! hehe. wanna know? i dont mind sakae. =) Was initially abit lost, and dont know how i'm feeling. But slowly, the results sank in, with my mum's and sis's comments. I'm slow reaction. Amazingly, i felt quite peaceful.. must be the reading of the psalms. Anyways, this will be a journey of learning for me, and i'm assured, God will be with me. He knows best. =) Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:50 AM
I have finished my chem micro teaching! haha. Quite ok, though i think i did better during the trial. But nevertheless, it's over.. and finished 1 presentation too. 1 more maths micro teaching, 3 essays, 2 lesson plans. haha... Was sis's birthday yesterday,so on wed night celebrated for her. Forgot to buy a cake, so i improvised. HAHA. used ice cream and pie for cake. Happy birthday sis! (as if she will see this, HAHA) Was casey's birthday too. Same day, month, year as my sis. and i have another friend who has the same birthday too. how coincidental. =) The dance team celebrated for him and philip. I like the mango cake.. yummilicious. Rehearsal for sun platform was great... ps rol led us to pray first. He said a man was asked what is grace, and the reply was God's richness given in Jesus' Christ. But somehow i heard another thing.. God's grace is me! Thought it sounds quite prideful and wrong. But God told me, His grace is really me, because it is by His grace that i am who i am, i have grown spiritually, i am changed and transformed. Yes, Jesus is God's grace given to us, but i am also God's grace amplified. =) Another thing that God spoke was... "I am in control."

whee... school has started today. haha. no more holidaying for me... First day of school is ok. 2tutorials.. First one in the morning, youth at risk. The tutor is pretty nice, very real w us, rich experience. She sounded like she sits in the juries of the juvenile court. Laughed abit, the class is also pretty nice, like not very competitive, just open to share and smiley. haha. maths, we are so comfortable with one another le. haha! just tt we had a new tutor. She's a little boring. oops.. but she's nice lah. tries to connect w us. probably too many admin on the first day. =) Sat.. Out whole day, G12 n open cell in the morning, pretty interesting to be meeting in the morning instead of night, having breakfast instead of dinner. haha.. then cell with my girls. They laughed alot, at me. haha.... and met cheryl's mum finally. She looks so young, and pretty, and nice. =) Then, dad fetched me and we went for dinner... HAHA... resting eh. Sun. Church.... served on platform. The funniest part must be when me n candy realised the dancers were on the cover page of the bulletin! so cool lah! Though i'm not inside, it's really nice to see the dancers on the front page, so vibrant and cool! =D Platform was cool too! Dont know why, but i just felt alot of joy on stage, not only from me, but from the others. Like.... smiling at one another, making mistakes and not feeling too bad about it, just continue and smile for God... it's within. haha.. and sermon was pretty fun too, maybe cos we were laughing at one another, or at the jokes... bouncing bladers.. transformers. =D Open cell, had a newcomer.. joyce who was TJ's Leo club's president, 2 yrs my senior.. haha. but i dont rmb her. Nvm.. it was still nice to gather and share. Celebration team appreciation dinner! highlight of the night..=) Was seated with familiar faces, ruixiang, vanessa seow, junyan, haoteng, jeremiah, allen, esther, kenneth, ps rol n laifun n reuel. Our table went mad first cos vanessa introduced a card game, asap.. like suppose to flip 2 cards and say a word in the category on one, starting with the alphabet on the other. eunice joined too and we were shouting out words.. but the best must be ps rol's joke which made us laugh till stomach cramp.. HAHA. And we had mass ice breakers, like charade, but they used lyrics of songs instead. haha... we got 1.. and it's really fun to like hold each other's hand and stand up together. Food was great! yummilicious! loved the laksa... and everything else. sadly, i didnt get to eat the mango pudding. :( appreciation night would not be appreciation night without appreciation. time of appreciating one another... =) nice to see the whole team coming together more. Ps julie also shared her thoughts.. her words for us were in line with what ps khong shared during sermon, for us to grow in our spiritual walk with God, so that when we worship, it comes from within us... and people around us cant help, but be inspired by our worship. God pointed this out to me during sermon, and further emphasized it during the dinner. So good right... we can teach, share, do together, lead, show, but the better way is to inspire...can u imagine when u stand beside someone, and when that person worship, u just feel that connection and it draws u to worship too... i felt before. i pray that person will be me soon! =) Ps eugene shared a word too.. his was that success is not equal to succession, but equal to multiplication. Succession means finding replacement, but multiplication means having more... and i guess it does link to ps julie's sharing, that when we inspire people, people who do what we do... that's multiplication... =) more dancers, worshippers.... and when more get inspired, more multiplication, the church will be set on fire cos everyone is inspired to inspire and worship. i'm getting excited. haha..=) Labels: A simple life, Event, School -The Princess Jesus Loves- 1:50 AM
How's your walk through the Psalms with God? HAHA. That must be the buzz among FCBC-ians now, cos we are all doing it together as one family! I'm like so happy to have the life application bible, cos it really discuss things that i didnt think of. Reading the NASB version is also diff from NIV. pretty cool! And i'm so blessed cos ps rol shared abit more during rehearsal today. Psalms of lamenting... but God will turn those mourning into dancing, those sorrow into joy! And vanessa is always starting to post on psalms. Learning alot from her sharing too. =) HAHA. And i have been posting my reflection on my cell's blog too. Hope my girls are reading and learning. Though i know some dont read blog tt often... really praying for them to learn and grow more. =) They are very important yah. HAHa. So if u wanna read my reflection, can go to my cell blog.. click on daughters on the right. but it's a humble sharing la, for leisure reading maybe. HAHA. Suddenly i realised i'm HAHA-ing alot. HAHA. not that there's any change in me ok... maybe.. just more joyful in the Lord? WOOHOO! And i'm sick! sneezing and coughing... must be the crackers i ate on tues night. And serving dance on sun cos only 5 could make it! I pray that i will be healed by sun, and i can breathe more, and have better stamina... yeah! Shall shall this lovely song, written by ben seow for his sis during her bday. The song is a song of grace, gratefulness, dedication and devotion. It is a conversation betweeen a daughter and her Father Ballerina Girl "Would you dance your best for me Would you dance your best for me? Little Ballerina Girl My little Ballerina Girl.. V1Darling as you take the stage just remember My grace, my saving grace And even as you dance away remember My love You know the crowd will roar and surely theyll adore you so.. Yet just listen to the voice of the Father Let My applause be the one that matters Dance, dance, just for me... C1Would you dance your best for me? Would you dance your best for me Little Ballerina Girl My little Ballerina Girl Save your best dance for me Save your best dance for me Little ballerina girl, My little Ballerina Girl.." V2"Daddy as I take the stage ill remember the faith, you had in me And would you mind if I sing for you too? Let this melody I bring be a sweet sweet sound, devoted to You Yet I know Youre not concerned with the tune.. All you want is a heart thats true to You Let me sing, sing, for You C2I will sing my best for You O I will sing my best for You Daddy do I make you proud? All that matters is make You proud My Best song is for You My Best song is for You Daddy do I make You proud? All I want is to make You proud.." So would You dance your best for me?

Dec is coming to an end.. means... 2008 is coming. gosh... haha. so fast. =) Have more dance practices now, since countdown party is only next mon. We are abit worried, cos the time is short and we are not dancing very well yet. Hmm.. need more practice. hehe. =) Watched warlords with dad n mum on sat after rehearsal. Ok lor. HAHA.. Andy lau's acting is getting better. :) jet li and jing chen wu are good too... haha esp jing chen wu, handsome leh. There were moments in the show i felt pretty emotional, in particular the war scenes. The ugly side of war, death, inhumane, sadness..... Sun... had ruth's tribe lunch. In the end only the older ones were there. The food was so-so... and the funny thing was the shop gave us a free dessert. Maybe they heard us singing happy birthday song to aikit? HAHA. But we were shocked la. Service was pretty nice... I love the snowing effect... and the song "O Holy Night" Super beautiful... My tears almost burst out. haha. "Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices. O night divine O night, When Christ was born." Sermon on christmas... christmas is a celebration of love and life. HAHA. i was writing christmas cards during sermon.. BUT i got listen... Christmas is really about the love of God for us, to give us life. Like the song goes, fall on our knees, in the presence of God, to hear Him talk to us, to receive the love and life. Thank you God =) Then had a small rehearsal before having dinner with the retreat com and group leaders. Had a small talk with vicki too.. Glad that she's slowly coming back. And hope she can find her place in the family and in God. Dinner was ok... listening to one another. It's a joy to see the 3 cell groups come together... and like what one of them shared. Something seems to have broken. =) Went to pick sis up on mon afternoon. HAHA. 3 of us at the viewing mall again to watch her plane move into lane. Then went for a wake at night. Shocking news, but praying for God's peace and comfort to be upon the family. Christmas... Happy Birthday Jesus.. =) Labels: A simple life, Event -The Princess Jesus Loves- 1:18 AM
The week passed so quickly. It's like mon again. HAHA. Had another presentation last week.. and did i mention, my tutor for tt module, classroom management, looks like grace ng? hehe. Anyway, everyday is like going to school, reach home at night, after dinner and some TV, do work.. can be quite tiring, lots of work to do as well. Glurp.. i see many DEAD lines. Look on the brighter side! =) Had G12 + open cell on fri night at pastor's place. I always look forward to fri. Grins.. reached earlier cos i wanted to tune my guitar. So blessed to have a chance to talk to pastor and catch up a little. And i felt baby reuel moved!!!! Always wanted to feel him, so will put my hand on pastor's tummy. HAHA. abit weird, n i dont usu feel him except once when i felt a tiny weeny movement. But now that he's bigger, can feel more. And i did! his hands.. like tiny bulges n waves of movement. =D so cute! His room is also getting ready. So excited for him to come... The rest came pretty soon, had dinner. Dear pastor cooked barley and soup for us. awww... so nice to gather round a table and eat while chatting. =) After that was sharing. Worship was good too.. Just that i was too focused on the chords and playing guit at the start. fingers were quite painful and i'm not used to the pick. i lost the other one.. sad....=( but after a while, i had to bring myself back to focus on God and yep.. He is always here. =) pastor also went on to share about inner peace and we shared what God is doing.. So good to hear from one another and see God moving in each one of our lives, building us up and moulding our characters. Our lives are in perfect hands. =) One bring-home lesson, speak in tongues and pray in the Spirit. Let the Spirit pray through us and groan, as we grow deeper and live by the Spirit. so cool if i am able to be so strong spiritually.. Wished we could sit by ah ma's feet and hear more. haha... ah ma jiang gu. Sat. PL funfair. Met Velma earlier at 1230 to bring her round PL. She's thinking of applying to PL for teaching. Then did my manicure while waiting for min n tng. But saw xiang first.. so we went around w lionel and nigel. It's pretty..... interesting! haha. joined by tng n min, and it's nice to walk around to see so many people, even friends like cailing, chuyun, sinyee, jingmei, jo, puaycher.. ex-girls... teachers.. of course ms goh n ms ng. HAHA. Ok lah, i have grown up. Just nice to see my fav teachers, ms gan, ms goh and ms ng. =D and ms ng rmb me ok. HAHA. just cant rmb my name... i'm always that girl who had short hair, wear specs.. and probably rmb me for the silly things i did. HAHA Didnt expect myself to spend so much time at PL. In the end, stayed till the end, cos was watching ms goh being dunk. HAHA. Told her she looked like a mermaid. And ended up talking to andrea, ms kok, tessa, sheryl. Had a lift from my dear neighbour again =) Sun. Church. The best news.. God hasnt forgotten PL and His promises.We did. Now the door is open again. So exciting!!! =D It's so nice to see the 3 cells gather, and we have grown! thank God.. Out of point.. but i suddenly think, i ate many chicken over the last 3 days. I ate:chicken rice and curry chicken katsu on fri, shared a BBQ chicken w my dad, which i ate 3/4 for dinner, had one chicken at soup restaurant with my mum, sis n her bf.. my gosh. i like chicken more than others, but like... wah. haha. ok time to go back to work. I will live through the deadlines! Labels: A simple life, Event -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:19 AM
Havent been bloggin cos there's so many things. Like i said, It's a road of no return... There;s assignments due ot tests every week, some week have 2/3. And GESL project is adding on to the work load... Busy busy till dec. And i'm always tired.. hmm.must try to have a healthy lifestyle. Sleep earlier and exercise!! Nothing really BIG happened. I'm enjoying the people around me more. Dance.. we went mad on last last thurs night. Spent an hr plus thinking of costume and played like crazy. I laughed till my abs pain. HAHA. Then last thurs, some of us met up with pastor laifun at her place. OH! we have pizza and chicken wings! super yummy!! pelican. I must buy it for my family. And we discussed vision, things learnt, recruitment... all the way till 1030. But good i guess, things are shapin up. Pastor rol has a nice fish tank in his studies! Wonder why he likes fishes so much... haha. He likes to rear fish, his wife likes to eat fish. =D G12 is greaaaat too. We always enjoy the friday coming together to talk and share. At least i enjoy.. i'm sure the rest too, right??? R7.. counting to R10. counting counting.... Cell. HAHA. Don't know why, but we started playing monopoly. So far shuwen has been consistently winning in terms of money. She keeps $5000. Bernice dethroned me to be the one with most no of houses. =) oh.. i shant share who's the one getting bankrupt. But it's nice to see us gel-ing more tog. =) Life is ok so far. just that i'm getting a little stress when i think of the work i need to do. Thank God pastor melvyn shared on sun.. the double-minded worries. I dont want to be double-minded. I want to be single-minded, to live to please Christ, to trust and believe in Him. So no worries.. He is in control. When i see how BIG God is, all the other things are small. =) Oh oh..gladys and shirley have given birth.. baby zhenying and baby asher. Looking forward to baby reuel! =) Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 12:26 AM
Had dance rehearsal on tues night. Was pretty drained cos of GESL meeting before that.. but once we got together to play, we went mad. HAHA, maybe out of tiredness. Cant believed it, we played, laughed and joked so much, till sometimes we were rolling on the floor. Really! Then had a cheap supper at Macs. Got a student filet-o-fish meal, upsized and sam got a nuggets happy meal, and i redeemed a Mc wings.. all for $9.95. haha... Then cab was cheap too, cos jiahui alighted at kovan n claimed taxi fare, so we only paid $3 each. =) wed.. had cell with my girls. Bernice, isobel, shiying and shuwen, shuwen brought justina too. So we played indian poker, plus truth n dare. They bullied me obviously... *pouts* Then went on to do activity on cards and word on Fruit of the Spirit. Let's live by the Spirit! =)Really very heartened to see them opening up to share bits n pieces of their lives, though not in depth, it is already a start. And i'm so excited to see what God is doing in their lives! (sounds familiar hor, xiang.... haha) Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:26 AM
Went to take pictures with my Uni friends on sat. Then watched the fireworks with mum at marina foodcourt. Gosh.. the food court was packed. Couldnt really see anything... then a couple moved out cos the son was scared, so we managed to move in a little. But the lady quarrelled with a guy cos he was pushing in. Like... it's only fireworks... dont need to get all unhappy right. Sun was miracle weekend. In the morning, nicole messaged to say she could come to church. So got her to take a cab n i hopped on. She brought her sister, natalie along. Isobel also brought zhihao and shiying brought yuzhi. Thank God for all these visitors. Pastor khong's word was on blessings.. very simple. To be blessed by God and to be a blessing. =) Nicole and natalie went forward to pray for blessings. They are christians, but raised their hands, so i processed with them... what they said touched my heart. Natalie said she raised her hand cos she felt tt last time she wasnt serious, now she really want to mean it, to invite Jesus into her life. Nicole said she really wants to stop sinning.. So got them to fill up the form, hope that they can be assimilated into the family and grow. Pastor Eugene did give the word for healing, for legs, knee pain. Immediately, i knew that word was for me. Knee has been aching abit... but cos i was praying for nicole, i couldnt really pray for myself. Well, God can heal everywhere right, so praying everyday tt my knees and ankles will be restored! =) "All things are possible with ME," God shouted so many times. "Yes, God. I heard... thank You."

Precious is complaining that i'm not blogging. HAHA. Well, fasting is over. But i still need to find time to blog. School has started and readings piling up. Oh dear... =P I cant believe myself. I have watched 3 movies within 1 week. My highest record! HAHA. Basically, i'm someone who tries not to spend money going into cinema. But this week i watched 3, got reasons one. First was "The Simpsons", with kit, dora n sheryl. Cos dora wanted to watch a movie. Oh, side track abit... N on that beautiful day... 4th August, gan ma's birthday, i bought my guitar! Takamine D series... i love it. =) Back on movies... Simpsons is a pure entertainment movie. Just go in and laugh, nothing much learnt, nothing much received. Ok. Then, went to watch Secret with family on 8 Aug. Cos bro is working at cathy, should have free tickets. But he didnt want to take free tickets on holidays, so he paidfor them, at a offer for staff. $8. Was mum's first time into cinema since like eons ago, think the same for dad. haha.. We were like VIPs, cos my bro n his friend served us food when the show was just starting. Free food. 2 BIG packs of popcorn, 5 cups of ice lemon tea, 2 cups of corn and 1 cheese hotdog (with bread kind) like picnic can. Secret is a nice show. The twist in the story was very good,i thought. Created suspense, mystery and then poof, the unexpected ending. I wanna learn how to play the piano! My gosh... you should see how jay chou and the girl's hand moved along the keys. Beautiful. Finally the last show, (hope you are not bored by now...) Transformers! My favourite. =) Heard alot of good comments on it, so like i super gian. Wanna watch. but no time... Sorry abby, watched it without you, cos my sister bought the 1-yr package with cathy, can get 11tickets in the yr for $80. N her bf wanted to watch the second time. So we went. It's really awesome! haha... i like bumblebee and optimus prime. =) Like so cool to see the vehicles transformed into huge robots. N to see the effects of them fighting, moving and to hear the "boom!" It's real cute to see the huge robots hide in the backyard of the guy. haha... and i almost cried when bumblebee was caught and sam was trying to stop the police from spraying the stuff on him. :_( Double thumbs up for a great movie with awesome effects and actions that shook up all my senses, a touching story of how the good robots built relationship with sam n mikaela, wanting to save mankind and beautifully planned and directed movie with every details looked into. I want to buy the VCD once it's out. heh... =) Autobots, transform! Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:56 AM
I know i havent been posting for a long long loooooonnnng time. Miss me? HAHA. OK.. anyway, not that my life is boring and there's nothing to post. On the contrary, my life is full of memories and exciting things going on. But havent been posting because i'm on internet fast. Only to do serious and necessary things. Esp computer games, which i love to play when i'm bored, want to stone or waiting for things to upload. But i'm here today because something happened.....ok.nothing very serious. Just that on my way back from NIE, (yes, i'm in NIE le...) a guy approached me n my friend to ask abt the train. He wants to go to outram. Boarded the same cabin as him.. He's a nice guy. Because he gave up his seat to an old lady after a few stops from boon lay. =) Then he asked me how many stops to outram. 7. N since he's a nice guy, i added that i'll let him know since i'm alighting too. I'm glad i did that. Could see he loosen up alot,not like tensed and keep looking at the map. So at outram, we alighted n he brought me to the map n pointed out that he wanted to go to farrer park. So walked him to NEL. Talked. He's from philippines, a sailor, just touched down in Singapore. But he's stopping his contract and going back to philippines. 30 this year n going to look for friends. called kenneth(i think) Surprising he's pretty open.. and good looking.. haha. Just when the train came and we were abt to board, he told me his ticket is to outram. Gosh.. So i walked him up to exit. Return the ticket and bought a new one to farrer park. Then went onto the next train. Taught him abit on the return trip.. hopefully he will make it back to boon lay. =) So left him at farrer park with directions to go to station control to ask for directions to mustafa. Well, i dont know that place well. HAHA. Really happy to be able to help him.. N he said he will never forget me. HAHA! maybe i'll meet him when i go to philippines, then he can help me. Happy, not that he wont forget me (i'm sure he will, soon), but happy that i helped someone and he appreciates it. N when he goes back, he will remember Singapore as a pleasant place. It's always such a blessing to be of help, with no strings attached, not even 100k. =) I wanna watch transformers... :( Labels: A simple life -The Princess Jesus Loves- 11:59 PM
This week was a week spent in the faraway land of boon lay, for registration, briefings and teacher preparatory programme. Haha.. Nothing much actually, but i did enjoy myself at TPP. My trainer, ms peck, is a really nice lady. She has alot of experience in teaching, principal-ing... She is an really interesting teacher, knew how to capture our attention and shared alot of tools, experience, methods with us. I really like her. =) Learnt sooo much. And one very important lesson i caught from her... dont think negative nor let the negative comments keep you down. Sometimes, we hear the negative comments about things and get worried and fearful of the things to do, but actually we can still find joy and fun doing things. Had cell on tues, at cheryl's place. Sam, jasmine, isobel and cheryl. Not too bad, shared about noah finding favor in God's eyes. Are you like noah, when God looks down from heaven, can He find you righteous and blameless? Finally saw orlie too.. haha. Met the hong kong trippers + zhongyu for dinner on wed night. HAHA. We are really one crazy bunch. Talked till 11 plus. Took cab again... But really enjoyed their company. =) Yes, hong kong trip, shall wait for the pictures so that i can post. haha.. Thurs dance was fun. Sorry ah sam, we were too naughty and cheeky. HAHA. Of course, i love dance.. But there is a nagging pain in my left knee. Praying for complete healing pls God. I want to dance forever for You. Had ruth's tribe congre mtg on fri night. Read pastor rol's email and after the sharing by xiang, i will be signing up for 100k. Jesus came for the poor and lost. the smile on the old lady's face is deeply etched in my mind.. I saw Jesus. =) Dont have to share the gospel, but by blessing the people, we are already bringing Jesus to them. Didnt Jesus came to heal, to bless and to give? By blessing them and praying so that their prayers are answered, we will be bringing the power of Jesus to them. =) No more fear, it's not about me. It's about Jesus. =) Was reading Ps YC's blog.. saw these 2 statements.. He who stops fighting (growing, overcoming) has begun to die - he may have life, but it is just draining out of him. Someone must die to himself / herself, then new life will have a chance to grow up properly. http://pascoaman.blogspot.com/ I must not stop fighting, even faced with disappointment and failures. God will bring me to the finishing line as a winner. Press on. I must die to myself, so that God can use me to be a channel of blessing to others. =) Labels: A simple life, Christ in me, Event -The Princess Jesus Loves- 12:33 AM
havent blog for some time.. Well, just some updates. Went for Global Day Of Prayer with isobel, because the rest couldnt make it. Was good though, spent some time with her, she can see her sister n i received from God too. =) It was just like last year.. Just that this year, the focus was on the family, reconciliation between the parents n children and the youth. Started off with praying for forgiveness from God for the sins of the world, of us.. 2 Chron 7:14. God, as we seek Your face n forgiveness, please hear n heal our land. Then was reconciliation between father n youths. So apt in the world today.. that the fathers would show more attention to the children n learn to be good fathers, and for the youths to honour their parents.. Mal 4:6.. The thing that caught my attention most should be the little boy who prayed for reconciliation. very simple, very real, very child-like... "Lord, let us be a generation who hear You...." 2 things, let us return to the child-like-ness n ask God to mould n live in us. That we can be a people who pleases Him. And let us all be walking close to God, the adults to be living examples because the youths learn through watching us. The youngs to be like the little boy, strong in prayer n rising up. The stadium was heated up towards the end with pastor Kong Hee dedicating the youths. God is really concern with this generation, a generation to see n hear Him! But what touches my heart most was not what went on in the stadium, it was what was happening outside n above us. Melvin showed us the weather forecast with his phone, it was raining heavily in the west. Ps Lawrence shared that he saw dark clouds all around the stadium, but none above us. and truly, throughout, i rose up my head to see, the dark clouds were circling the stadium, but the sky was clear above us! It may seems like a small thing, but what pastor lawrence said struck me. he said God's people are here, God will not let it rain.. it didnt. it rained in the west. And i felt God's pleasure in His people gathering to pray. It is not how well the event was planned, how many people were gathered, how loud we prayed... It's the gathering of His people, willing to seek Him n pray. =) Went for a retreat at desaru, haha.. was the "official" babysitter for nene. The first night was not too good.. haha. She saw her mum, cried really hard n loud. Maybe i look like i'm bullying her. So no choice, ps lily told me to go back to look for her mum. Sat beside ps eve while she de-briefed her group. Fed nene supper.. Was tired. The best part is there are 2 more "official" babysitters. So we shared room. HAHA. Started talking about the kids.. talking about zhi ye bing. Second day got better. She was beginning to get used to me. Well, how not to, when i have to change her diaper 3 times that day, stayed with her in the room, play and fed her when needed. But still parents are best at night. HAHA. They had leaders' night out, ps dan was theMC. I couldnt even stay at the area. She would cry for her dad. So we roamed around the lobby, up n down the stairs a couple of times, visited the playground... HA, the highlight must be me changing her diaper on the table. Well, not that i wanted. But she's grouchy and delay in changing will cause nappy rash. But tidbits were the answer.. By the way, she loves food. esp her mummy's bite. Weapon to keep her quiet n still. By third day, she was used to me. I could hold her hand to walk, carry her with her lying on my shoulders, feed her, change her clothes n diapers.. Much better. And she was ok with me at night, of course with the help of VCDs, her fav. Haha. I must say, after 3 days with her... i have grown to like her more. HAHA. Yes she is very cute, and everyone likes her. With the 3 days, though when she cries, i have to crack my brain to think of ways to pacify her, i must say i still enjoyed taking care of her. The cutest part must be her smiles, laughter, the way she lie on me n kissed me once. HAHA... i'm easily satisfied. =) Ok, time to sleep. One more camp coming up.. reporting in tmr. n i havent pack. Am quite excited.. =) cos i will get to be with my spiritual family, my dearest sisters n mum, my precious, my special grandpa n grandma, hopefully get to see nene too! =) Labels: A simple life, Christ in me, Event -The Princess Jesus Loves- 1:46 AM
Had cell n DG on fri. Not too bad i guess.. isobel, bernice, jasmine were there with their friend wan leng from another church. Quite distracting though, cos teachers walk by n waved to me, their friends walked by n waved to them. haha... Oh, and i talked to ms goh. hmm... praying. And she's thinking of roping me in for founder's day dinner planning.. HMM. And putting up an item. HMMMMMM... DG at tngsy's place. Her place is very cosy.. i like. =) And i like toti. i took 2 pictures with it. hee.. Xiang talked about choosing God's best, chap 6. We have homework. haha... to think about 4 questions. Didnt go supper cos the next day have sports tuition. Went home to rest. But i still slept at 130 and woke up at 8. Tuition started at... 8. Oopss. So i flew down in cab, but no sec 3/4 came. So sheryl n i spent the time talking. I did help priscilla with her chinese hw. read.. CHINESE. haha. After eons of not touching chinese except the occasional newspaper and readings. Ok. come the highlight... i went to watch spiderman 3 with precious after tuition! Finally, after so long saying we wanna watch. Got 4th row from the front. So very close to the screen, but not too bad. Oh my gosh.. i lub it. =) So exciting!! Like i was glued to the screen every minute cos i didnt wanna miss a scene. i love spidey wheezing through the city. So cool pls! If only i can.... Heard many things about it, too heavy a plot in 2 hrs, double-chin spidey, harry died.. hmm.. i think everything was nice, except the double-chin did caught my attention time to time. But i thought this time round, though spidey had a large piece of the cake, harry seems to be a bigger hero. He's handsome, charming with the way he smiles and he died for his friend. MJ's acting also looks abit stiff..hee. Both me n precious had the same conclusion aft the show. The old people spoke the most wise things. Aunt may:"Man must be able to put their wives before themselves." agrees... And regarding the sandman, she was also very wise. The lives of others are not determined by us, just like spidey cant kill sandman just for revenge. A wise woman... Uncle of spidey, told the sandman to go home. No fear in adversary, but thought about others.. Bernard, housekeeper of harry, who revealed that harry's dad was really killed himself, and told him to help his friends. Besides all the actions that dazzled n captivated me, the story did too. One, when spidey was so overwhelmed with his own achievements and neglected, even hurt MJ's feelings. Sometimes, we too, allow ourselves to be carried away by our own achievements, lives and pride, that we forget about the ppl around us and may hurt them in the process. Don't assume you understand how others are feeling, listen. Two, when harry, spidey and venom became to obessed with revenge, hatred, angry, jealousy and negativity, they hurt the ppl around them. In every circumstances, we can react in 2 ways, negative or postive. If we choose the former, we may be feeling happy, good, powerful and full of pride like spidey with his new power walking down the street, proud n crazy. But are we truly joyful inside, or is there even deeper emptiness. Like spidey, who woke up after hitting MJ, realising his true emotions. He was doing all these to spike MJ, was he happy? No. And in the process of doing so, we can hurt the ppl around, esp those who love us deeply. Three, like spidey, it may be painful to peel off the dark side. Maybe some of us may have even grown to like it, the power, fame and identity, and we don't wish to give up. But remember the dark will consume us, until we lose control of ourselves, in the worse, end up in destruction. Like venom, who was saved by spidey, but still jumped back in to be killed with the black stuff. (i was shocked when he did.. stupid.. but he lost control) Have we lost control? Time to give up the old ways... Four, oh, this is exciting.. the part when spidey and harry combined forces to fight the 2. Wow wee! So cool! Fly fly, zoom zoom, fight fight, esp when they flew to catch MJ and brought her to safety. Cool! And suddenly God spoke to me in the cinema. HAHA.. (God is everywhere eh.) It will be like when we partner with the holy spirit. How cool right! If we partner with Him, we will be able to fight the evil, save the lost and soar with victory! I want that. =) Five, have to be the part spidey told sandman, "i forgive you". Spidey forgiving sandman for killing his uncle. I killed Jesus with my sins, God says, "I forgive you." Six, dear handsome harry died and he called spidey, best friend. Can u, will u die for ur friend? harry did and still regarded spidey as his best friend regardless of all that had happened. i know my best friend did too. My Best Friend. HAHA. Can i not say it was a great show? Nope. It's fantastic! I got shocks in between the show.. Really bei xia dao. felt my whole body jerked. And i did tear at some parts.. when spiderman came out to save MJ and the whole town cheered. Their answered prayers.. (our answered prayers) When spiderman was crushed by sandman, when harry died... definitely worth the money. haha. i'm a happy girl. =D Labels: A simple life, Sharing with you -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:17 AM
