the new journey has started.

the separatery up the uncomfortable meter by 1.

the extraction up the meter by 5.
the injection which everyone else says is the most painful, is not. i consider the effect after the numbness wears off is the one that is extremely annoying. i never like extractionnnnn!
seriously, no pain, no gain.

c'mon please encourage me already.

i shouldn't worry ahead of time...

cause it will fall just in place at the right time, and whatever is given to me to say/do at that time, it's not me speaking but the Holy Spirit (mark 13:11)

i must say faith takes courage mans!

thank God for leading me step by step. it's tough, and i can't say i'm not anxious but in fact i'm terrified and at a lost, but i'm holding on. besides, how difficult can it ever get right, Big GOD, small problem.

so often i wish God would just show me the whole plan He had drawn up for me, but thank God He's wise enough to not do that. I would have fainted by the flooding of doubts in my head at all the marvellous things He wants me to do.

Just looking back, i think i've led an amazing life. So mnay things I've actually manage to do, could not be done without Him by my side, leading me. So this time, it's no different.
Thank you, Jesus for understanding me and knowing just what i need, and i believe I have Your favor and You'll lead me through this. I will have sweet dreams.

it's defintely a nice feeling.
a feeling of warmth
time rewind never felt this great before.

meeting up with nedlands. the four generations of nedlands, brought back great memories. it's like the feeling of reuniting with the family of love.

justin & belinda got wedd today. during the ceremony, this part of the message caught my attention.

The pastor left Justin with 3 pointers.
1. love your wife unconditionally (despite of what she said, what she's wearing and how she looks)
2. place her above everything and everyone else (friends, diving, golf, parents) but below God.
3. always be the one to be there for her.

then the 3 points for belinda.
1. to be submissive (not as a servant but as a helper/companion to run the race together)
2. to love the husband unconditionally
3. share his dreams

the final point: commitment and compromise.

yeah. yeah. just so i wont forget, i typed it all out. heh.

the wedding is way cool la, a different twist to the usual. anyway, so glad there isn't any of that yumseng bit, i guess the trend is dying down. btw, what was the yumseng bit all about?

there was a flower girl, who literally held a (sun)flower with the rings on its bed.
oh ya, i wanna have an ocs wedding, haha, i mean my husband to wear the ocs uniform for the wedding, in fact, i think it's way coool.

having just 1 serving of chocolate mudpie at mahattan fish market gives you a really really bad throat. seriously.

anyway, i'm glad we're almost done with our race track for tomorrow's festival of fun in church. it was a feat to get it done, but thank God for all the hands that help and the brains that thought of the designs and the pockets burnt to get our stuff!

alrighty, olivia's performing a musical tonight at bugis.

ciao.

this song is dedicated to all my friends, if you count yourself true, this song's for you. hugs a plenty! =)

thanks pam for sharing the song with me!
somehow, this song makes my heart warmth and my eyes watery. It's so true as i think back the struggles we've been through, our nights at med lib, the ups and downs with other people messing up our lives, the challenges that life brings, i thank God for sending me a friend like you to encourage & edify me, reminding me of His love, singing & dancing to the six songs, eating jap noodles in winter on the red kia's roof, playing table tennis at dentistry corner with ame, making mashies for dinner, and always poking me to buy tuna with the dolphin safe logo.

it's amazing as i look back and think of all the wonderful things that happen only because He knows what can make us smile again. you know what i'm talking about.. mat bay/dolphins/paddlepop sky.

love you babe.

He needed reinforcements to blow out his candles of his birthday cake. (as seen from picture)

/the three musketeers.


we used to not have eyebags and that tanned skin for someone, flabs for that someone too. anyway, we grew up happy as can be. wait till i show you our pictures taken when we were fourteen. but nonetheless, we grew up pampered and loved and happy as can be.

why not?

edited: when we were seventeen.


/fridae: my finale at the Special Projects Unit.


it was fun looking at models getting tired waiting for their turn, the makeup artist doodling on faces, cameramen with their tacky lenses and all that. it was wacky fun as it lasted. guess ya missing the healthy papayamelon intake in the morning, the doses of laughter during lunch and the talks of life and disturbing the maintenance fella over the aircon temp. =)
thanks guys - uncle tee, koropope marianne, winnie and jenn for all the lunches, help, fun and friendship!

/tuesday: our cultural fans.

yeah.. so which of these do you think is the nicest huh?

i slept with a heavyheart.
after spending some time quietly, sudden thoughts just flush my head, like as if the light of His word has shown into my life displaying all the hidden places of my heart. all my regrets, hurts and failures just surface itself like flashbacks before my eyes. i guess you're moulding me. i can't say it's pleasant, at the back of my mind something else is saying i'm dirty and undeserving, unworthy worthless wretched girl, everything that will make me bring myself down.

but i manage to sleep through the night like a baby in her mother's arms. peaceful.

i woke up and once again the thoughts came back. it's so easy to feel defeated, so easy to just say ya, it's all in my head. but i reckon the closer i am getting towards being with You, the more it will come to steal my soul. at least it shows i'm making some progress. I will face up to my fears and failures and regrets. I will not be down and out, not gonna lose myself to it.

I am worth the price You paid for me with Your blood on the cross.
I am loved by You.
I am a victor, not the victim.
I have Your mercy and faithfulness chasing after me everyday.
I have Your favor.
What more can I say?
I will choose to be excited about today.
Thank You Lord.

Like the desert
my soul thirsts for you.
Let your healing water flow.
I am broken at your feet
oh God
Father take everything in me

All I want is in you

Zach Neese - Alabaster Jar Lyrics

This alabaster jar
Is all i have of worth
I break it at your feet, lord
It's less than you deserve
You're far more beautiful
More precious than the oil
The sum of my desires
And the fullness of my joy!


Prechorus:
Like you spilled your blood,
I spill my heart as an offering
To my king
Here i am, take me
As an offering
Here i am, giving every heartbeat
For your glory take me

The time that i have left
Is all i have of worth
I lay it at your feet, lord
It's less than you deserve
And though i've little strength
And though my days are few,
You gave your life for me
So, i will live my life for you

Worthy, worthy
You are worthy
Worthy is the Lord

~this was one of the songs sang during CBTL last sunday. it's a pretty awesome song that shook whatever numbness i had within me, to humble and be broken. The days ahead are gonna be long and difficult as what i had interpreted from the dream (told version 0.0 about it), yeah, any thoughts about it?

but despite however tough the road is gonna be, Emmanuel. =)

i'm not scared as long as I'm with you, Daddy!
living by His grace

It’s amazing, O God, that although You know me better than anyone, You continue to love me, faults and all. I know I can’t earn Your love, Father, so let me learn to enjoy it, to embrace it, and reflect it to others.

whooopee! i got back my jap test paper and i got a distinction! =)

Entitled A Charmed Life by Rachel Annabelle Lum talks about an ectastic and positive side of life, of which many blessings are counted, somewhat maybe seem awkardly strange to some. But nonetheless, tales so funny, have a laugh!

Here it goes,

Rach woke up and discovered that once again a plane had not landed on her during the night. When Rach had a shower and did not run out of hot water, had two slices of nutella spreaded bread, fruits, nasi lemak and did not choke to death on a nut, put on a kettle and did not get electrocuted, made a cup of milo and did not get scald, left the house and did not skid on a stray banana skin, drove to work and did not have an unsignalled lorry colide into her.

She avoids contracting ear cancer from her trusty mobile phone, and goes for lunch without it. During lunch, she had a bowl of soupy noodles and did not scald herself. While blowing off the heat off the spoon, she escape pepper from intruding her eye. Chopsticks however, unfunctional, did not manage to injure her wrist.
While crossing the road back to the office, she did not accidentally fell into the drain nor did anyone else did. The motorcycles that went past did everything they could to focus on the driving. Her phone that she left on her desk, is still here.

What a breather! What a charmed life!
