Did something crazy last nite... Ken and I went prawning at abt 1 am last nite... Heh... Went to the one at jurong bird park... We stayed there til almost 5 before going home. The catch wasnt fantastic. Only caught 4 in the 4 hours. Then the uncle there also caught, then gave them to us, Ken took 3... Adding the total count to 7... On the way down, we were still saying maybe can catch 20... Haiz... Not even 10... So sad... Then we reached home n slept n slept. Ppl sleep at nite, we sleep in the day... Hahaha...

Then woke up n did some nursery stuff before going down to NUS to print them out. Just finished sorting them out. Am all ready and geared up for the packing on Sun... Expo Hall 8 here we come!!! Anyway, after that we went to meet Yan and then went to AV for dinner. I ate chicken cutlet. Ken ate fish soup with rice and Yan ate chicken rice... The western was nice, the fish was thick, quite nice, but thought the fishy taste was quite strong... Heh... We also took fruit juice. Totally regretted ordering from that store, sucky... Next time muz go back our usual store. The one nearer rong guang one... We thot just give this uncle a chance, but haiz... This store is same row as rong guang but on the other side... Muz order from the corner store of the guang rong section, the middle of the whole row... Hmmm... Next time u wanna go ask me la, like that very hard to describe...

Today started with a movie at Lido... Caught hot fuzz with isaac n yuanxing... Think they're the only 2 who not having sch or work and are free today??? The show abt 2 hours... Abt a policeman or should i say police officer? being postedto Stanford... I not sure why, missed that part cos of the 2 guys who were late la... Hahahaha... We just burst out laughing during parts of the show... Cos it's funny, and there were not a lot of ppl inside, only 5... So we form the majority.. Heh... Muz enjoy myself ma... I paid for it... Yep... Then we met laimeng for lunch at far east... Ate chicken rice... Heh... So ex... Hahahha... More ex than fast food lo... Yuanxing la... Dun wanna eat fast food... Heh... Then we ate ice-cream - Turkish one... Then bubble tea... Went to book shop - Borders to look at books... Then went Orchard Lib... I borrowed a book - talking abt stories of adoption of a child... From the different perspectives, the adopted child, the one who send their children for adoption, the 3rd party pt of views, all true stories... Quite touching...

then went hereen to look at clothes b4 heading back jurong to meet ken and then pei him back to ymca then took bus home then ate dinner then bathed and then here i am... Watched tv also... Yep, so today is somewhat coming to an end... Quite tired le... Heh... But still awake... Hoping can go prawning later... Ken said wanna go last nite then change of plan... Hmmm... I wanna go leh... Heee... I wanna learn lots of things this year. A sudden surge of urge to pick up lots of things. I realised that I've been placed in a position which makes it very easy for me to learn certain things but I've been stubborn, act blur, dun wanna go learn them cos ppl ard me already know how to do it... So there's no need for me to know it also... But God spoke to me to be an 'able' person... To have the skills n abilities... So I got out of my comfort and conquering my fears for this year... So I've started to acquire these skills, hope to be able to get them soon, maybe realistically by end of next year... Heh... Dear, you got to help me k? Remind me, encourage me, spur me on... Heee... And we got to do one more thing together... your 9 and my 7... Heh... So we do together kk???

One week leave officially starts today...

Yep... Was on leave since last fri but it was busy the whole day cos of ken la... doing the bs update... but the dinner was nice... Went Blooie's bar n grill at science park 2. Price was ok, slightly on the higher end for western food. But there was a man singing blues n jazz music, so not bad la...

then sat was busy... Woke up, went for holy mat then went to buy presents, svc then bday party... then sun serve and then went out with Ken til nite... Oh ya... then i reached home to find a cockroach on my table!!! I couldnt scream cos it was like 1am? And i cant wake my mom nor my bro up cos they gt work n sch today... So I used my small dustbin n tried to cover it but it ran!!! haiz... I wanted to sleep le, but my table was next to my bed... Then i wanted to spray insecticide n sleep in the living room but my bro was already asleep in the room... i chased it away... (It ran to under my table) and then i quickly went to shower, to make sure i'm clean n tried to make myself tired so that i'll sleep... Hahaha... It worked... Hope that later i go back it's not there le...

Anyway, today feels like the official start of my leave. Woke up at 9 plus then came over to ken's place to watch tv before going to suki sakura at clementi for buffet lunch... International buffet... $20/pax... The food was edible (for some) but the spread was there la.. Got cooked food, raw food, pizzas, dim sums, sushi, teppanyaki, ice-creams, cakes, desserts... Overall, the food was so so la, some not very nice, but we didnt expect much cos it's only $20... Quite cheap for this kind of spread... The ice-cream - nata de coco is nice.... the cake was not cold enough... the cooked food was not bad, as in edible. satay was nice too... But i didnt like their seafood... on the whole, we ate til we were very full... so $20 was lunch n dinner so really worth it la, in this sense... But we figured that we probably wont go back again cos the food was so so only... nothing which 'pulls' us back...

tml going movie with some guys... Hahaha... Think ken nt one of them... Wahahaha... Then wed... Hmmm.... maybe go NUS get some work done... then maybe bs at nite... Then thurs going church nursery to play with the kids... Then at nite go watch movie... fri nite got cg... week gone!!! Then back to office for 2 weeks of training le...

A disciple is a thoroughly trained worker with a great attitude.

We need to constantly hear from God, especially in the morning. Like Jesus, He seek the face of God b4 He went out to minister to the ppl, in allwisdom, all power... So similarly, to excel n constantly do the right things, we need to seek God 1st every morning and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in all that we do and say... :)

Ok, back to work le, need to finish up all the stuff b4 the day ends...

The Five Love Languages

Took this test from Yun's blog...

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Physical Touch
with a secondary love language being
Quality Time.

Complete set of results

Physical Touch:		10
Quality Time:		9
Acts of Service:		4
Words of Affirmation:		4
Receiving Gifts:		3

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Pride Of The Chinese - By Greenie Hsiao and Sharon Chew
Hong Kong (17 April 2007)—Entertainment magazine Kuai Zhou Kan reported that the crowd at Sun’s autograph session-cum-concert more than doubled the turnout for Stefanie Sun’s session. What’s more, the report hailed her as the “Light of the Chinese,” superseding Coco Lee because of her achievements in topping the American charts with her US dance singles.
The singer acknowledged that since winning “The Outstanding Young Person of the World Award” in 2003, her main focus has been to continue using her music to help hurting people. The report also featured the singer modeling some of the jewelry pieces she designed herself.
When asked about her plans for the Hong Kong market, Sun replied that she hopes to work with Sammi Cheng in the future.

Just got my Sun's ezlink!!! Hee... So happy...

Resol not very good cos taken with my hp now... Wahahaha...

Latest news abt Sun...

A Movie Collaboration - By Greenie Hsiao and Sharon Chew
Singapore (4 May 2007)—Local Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that homegrown singer, Sun Ho, is in talks with famed movie producer, Jack Neo, both of whom are planning to make a movie based on the singer’s childhood. The duo is collaborating on a storyline that will focus on Sun’s childhood. She was initially approached by the same movie producer to star in one of his earlier films, but their schedules could not meet.
Earlier this year, just before the release of her latest Mandarin album in March, a local tabloid revealed intimate details of the singer’s childhood abuse. The news created a furor among the local community and the recording artist was suddenly ushered into the spotlight. However, the counselor-singer disclosed that if her story could help more people, she would be very willing to share her life story and let it be used as a movie script. The singer also shared how she decided to take up singing as a full time career upon the encouragement of her recording company director as her main aim was to help others through her music.
The interview also included details of the singer’s miracle birth of her son, Dayan. Initially unaware that she was expecting, Sun continued to dance energetically in her concerts. When she finally went for a check-up and found out about her pregnancy, she was confined over the next four months in order to protect the baby. Having had two miscarriages before this, the devoted mother now takes her treasured son everywhere she goes.

All info was extracted from Sun's website... Do visit her website and keep urself in loop ya? Then can pray for her more specifically... http://www.heyaosun.com/default_eng.asp#

Influencer

Came across this game...

http://www.bored.com/boomshine/index.htm

As the ripples begin to found and more spots are exploded, I begin to see a msg which God is trying to tell me... Sometimes u will want the ripples to stay there a while more then 1 more spot can be exploded but it just doesnt and as a result, the spot is not exploded. Similarly in our reaching out. We are so close to integrating one more person then we think to ourselves, haiz, we've tried so long already... I think if he wants to respond, he would have done it and we withdraw our hand... Like the ripple disappearing and the spot will not explode... Cos the person no longer finds the hand reached out...

Dunno if u understand wat i saying... But anyway, just play the game as a challenge... I've completed it twice le... Wahahaha... Marks was 268 for both...

Then nothing much left to do, just waiting and pending for the things to get back so stone... Haiz... Ok, enough of sighing...

On the bright side, I have the meeting room to myself... I'm alone in the room, can do whatever I want... Can listen to music, can talk on the phone, can surf net... It's not that bad after all. I wanna do work but seems like nothing much of work need to be done today... I guess I should start planning what to do next week... Hee... Starting from friday... One more week of leave... But after that is work le... After next week's leave, I got to settle back to the working and piaing mood le... It'll be all the way from Jul to Sep... So need to rest now to gear myself up... Yeah... Yoyoyo... Wahahaha...

My Testimony...

Hahaha... Shared my testimony during the outreach on sat at the prawn fishing... For those who did not catch it... Hee...

Today, I’m here to share of God’s goodness in my life. I grew up as the eldest daughter in a traditional chinese family. In school, I had good academic results and get along well with my classmates. I have a cousin who is one year older than me and my dad will always compare me with him. So my aim at that time was to do well so that I can ‘win face’ for my dad. As such, my childhood has been a very striving one.

In sec school I got to know Kenneth. Towards the end of sec 4, he invited me to go for a Christmas celebration service. I agreed to go because he told me that it’ll be very fun. But the day before, I told my mom about it and she refused to let me go. So I told Ken that I can’t go. But Ken did not give up; he began sharing with me things and principles which he has learnt during service. He told me who Jesus was and that Jesus has taken my sins upon Himself and died on the cross for me so that I can be reconciled back to God, the Father. I was touched. I couldn’t imagine why and how someone would do it. This left an impression in my heart.

Then in 2000, I chose to go to SAJC with Ken and there I got to know God better through the chapel services. I remember that during the Easter drama in school, I was really touched by God. I wanted to be reconciled back to God but I didn’t dare to respond. That weekend, I accepted Ken’s invitation and went for City Harvest Church Easter service at indoor stadium and there I gave my heart to Jesus. From then on, life began to have a different goal. No longer do I study for my dad; but for God. I want to do well to be an influencer in my class so that they also want to be like me and I can bring them to church.

At the same time, I began to commit myself to church services and cell group meetings. It was tough in the beginning, but I remember that my cell group members will call me up during the week to share with me their revelations and pray with me. I used to go for makeup cell group every sat instead of thurs night as it’ll end late and I didn’t want my parents to know that I was attending cg meetings. Then I will attend the sat service so that I do not need to go out so early every sun morning. So every sat, Ken will always accompany me to the cg meeting and then for service, one of my cell group member will also accompany me for service. Soon I got used to it; until one day, my cell group leader challenged me to step out and trust God that I’ll be able to attend my own cell group meeting and service. So I began to attend cell group meeting and service with my cell group. I would tell my parents that I was studying outside til late on thurs nights and I was going out with Ken every Sun morning. Until one day my cell group member challenged me to tell them the truth. She called me on sat night and prayed with me for boldness. That night I told my mom that I’ll be going for church service the next morn and went to sleep immediately. The next day, I woke up super early and left home so that she will not have the chance to stop me. And indeed God is good, my parents didn’t whack me or scold me when I returned home on sun.

During my stay in SAJC, Ken, Wanyun and I will travel down from school to power house weekly (during that time, the church premise was opened for members to pray). So we usually meet on wed or thurs to pray together. It was during this time when we learnt to pray and seek God, read the bible and fellowshipped.

Indeed God is good, I managed to get AAB for my ‘A’ levels and got into accountancy course in Uni, the course of my dreams. After graduation, I managed to get into Deloitte, one of the Big Four accounting firms in Singapore. In the past one and half year, God has been with me. He gave me strength to go through the long days and nights during the peak period and also favour with man – my colleagues, superiors and clients. Up to date, I have not missed a single service nor cell group meeting because of my work or studies.

Friends, the goodness of God did not stop there. During this period of time, as I also gave sacrificially to the building fund; and God brought an increase to my salary. This increase was not just for me, but it was across the whole industry. Indeed God is a God who does exceedingly, abundantly, above what we can ever ask or imagine. As we give to Him, He blesses not only us but the people around us are blessed too (because of us).

I believe that as we seek first the kingdom of God, all the things that we need or want will be added to us. During the past 7 years, God has brought me from a timid and shy girl to a confident and outspoken woman. Holy Spirit is always with me, reminding me of the promises which God has made with me; encouraging me when I feel down or insecure. I believe that in the coming years, greater things will be accomplished in my life as I walk closer with Him. Hallelujah!

Ken n I are so different...

No, we didnt quarel, everything is still fine... We even went out on a date last nite... Hahaha... Went vivo to kan feng jing... Hahaha... So romantic huh? No lo, it's cos the movie we wanted to watch was sold out... Then he was feeling cold so wanted to go outdoors... So we stood there looking at the cruise Virgo (we were on board b4... A few years back, with Yun n his mom n my family... Hee...) then looking at Sentosa...

Oh, where was I? Ya, Ken n I are so different... Was just thinking abt morning person and night person... Ken is a morning person and I am a night person... I totally cannot make it in the morning... As the day passes, I'll 'wake up' and by nite, I'll usually be in a better mood... Can work le... Hahaha... Should work nite shift jobs huh? I can work til wee hours, just dun ask me to wake up early to work... I totally detest it...

On the other hand, Ken is a morning person... He will be bright and chirpy in the morning and at nite... Wa... Like a super grouchy person lo... Hahaha... Super cold, super sian-ed face... Hahaha... He cannot work late one, he sure doze off... But he can wake up early in the morning and do work and be super efficient...

There were a few occasions where we met to go for svc together, then he kept wanting to talk, wanting to share with me stuff, but I was so sleepy... So irritated by him... And by the end of day, say after service on the way home, he would have finished his 'quota' of words... And tired le... While I would have 'woken up' and I'll talk but he'll want to sleep... Haiz...

Well well... Hahaha... But it's interesting how people who are different are brought together... In this way, it ensures that one party is listening or rather we take turns to talk... Hmmmmm... Haha... Just a bo liao entry... But we realised that we sometimes do think alike... So scary... Hahaha... Just read his blog, he also talked abt morning people... His friend is not a morning person... Somehow i feel that there are not many morning ppl, more nite ppl... Hahahah... Am I rite or nt? Hmmmm... Nvr do any research... But i do know of colleagues who are morning ppl... I AM NOT!!! So hope that I wont need to go to office early early in the morning... Say 8am? 9am still ok... But 830 is already a struggle... God help me... Core training coming soon...

Don't take the last donut!!!

Reading this book now... Not now now but just started reading this book cos i thought the title looks interesting... Hee... Oh... I didnt buy the book... It's an e-book... Hee... I copied and pasted it in word so that I can read even when I offline... Oops... Shhhhhhhh....

Yep, so it talks abt business etiquette, what things to take note in telephone conversation, how to clinch business deals and attires and so on... Interesting... I always like this kind of thing, soft skills...

As I grow older, I really begin to see how ignorant I am and I desire to learn more... Even as I have left school, learning nvr stops, but the avenue has changed. I learn from various sources on my own, no more exams, no more pressure to complete the learning... But this requires much much more self-discipline. And motivation...

As I grow older, I learn that in order to progress on, I need to constantly challenge myself. Constantly push my limits in order to maximse my life, realise my potential... Easily said than done... But I choose to believe that the ppl ard me, even the non-christians are thinking of ways to upgrade themselves, what more God's ppl. We shld be the leaders and so we lead them... And we 1st need to be better equipped than them...

So get off ur couch!!! U think it's just me learning? Everyone shld be learning something new everyday!!!

Update...

Wow!!! Realised that I havent blogged for the past 14 days... been on leave and everyday i reach home, my siblings are either hogging the comp, playing or the comp is off, dun wanna switch it on...
