:: encouragement ::

healing from a heartbreak...

=x not v serious la, just a crush only... but v disappointed.. :S

saw this encouraging words in an email (i sign up for LOTSA enewsletters =P)


No man can ever claim you unless he claims you from me
I reserved a man for you who has my heart and loves me more than he'll love you
I won't give you unless he asks you from me
Soon you will know him, i have the perfect time
Your my princess, my daughter
Let no prince claim you unless unless he asks you from my hand
For i am your Father, the King of Kings..
You my princess, is worth loving...

:: missed out. ::

yeah missed out something in my update last night.

last ...tue i think. i was using my home comp halfway n then it hung on me. waited quite long n then i decided to press the Sleep button on my keyboard. then the screen went blank. pressed the reset button on my Barebone CPU but nothing happened. couldn't get it to even boot up. finally decided i was wasting too much time on trying n so i gave up. i rather slp earlier n try again the next day. wed tried again, but to no avail.

finally on thurs after praying hard, for wisdom to find out how to fix it, i opened up the covers n blasted the aircon at it. (i wore my super thick Baby Milo jacket cuz i'm super afraid of the cold.) prayed that God will allow my comp to work for even just one hour, so that i can backup my stuff n i will be v v thankful! and WOW! it managed to boot up! really not sure if it will fail me again or not, but i was desperately burning my files into DVDs to backup. u know the burner program will show a progress bar, show how many percent done. every 10% i thank God, until 100! after burning one dvd, the one hr i prayed for was up. but i decided to burn another dvd to test n c if still can work. yay! but after that it was bedtime, so i decided to give my pc a rest.

n sun night i was upset abt another thing as well. feel that my cell grp is losing members. =( must try hard to bring in friends.

mmm. can't rem what else i missed out.

:: HA. ::

whatever happened to the "i don't wanna miss out a day of my life" belief.

recently... quite a bit of stuff to update.

had a sectional potluck on 12th Jan. took a bus during the heavy rain. the journey was really.... argh.. makes me hate bukit timah during peak hours. took 2 hrs to reach Esther leong's place. even got lost. but managed to cool down before the guys came out to find me. was very very hungry on the bus, but got over it by the time i reached. the gift exchange part was quite cool. disorganised :P but some pple got really funny gifts! after that went for midnight movie with most of them at bukit batok.

15 Jan mon - after work went to dhoby ghaut to meet persis n gail to discuss abt tj balai plans for 2007. felt v weird for not going or doing anything abt tj balai for so long. managed to get some concrete plans out =) but too tired to type email by the time i reach home. walked around daiso. =)

thur - new colleague came. it's a guy. non-christian. very sad. after Jul leave there won't be anyone to hang out with me during lunch break n it's quite hard to talk crap with the guy. he's the 4th Terry i know. pray hard that i'll have another colleague - female n christian - SOON!

sat - went to serene's hse, prepared while we wait for the guys to arrive, then jac n i started to do facials for them while diana n aijia do shoulder massage, n cat n grace operate the foot massager n prepare the water to soak their feet). the guys were scared do let us do facial on them =( cheers to the guys who did! after that we had dinner.. yummy~! n the guys performed for us. hehe it was really fun~!

sun - went KTV with faith n weiyang after service n after lunch. it's been a few months since i last went, so it's ok. used to dread going ktv actually. but this time was fun. my singing was bad but just wanted to try the new songs i hear on radio esp since Jul only like 93.3FM. haha everytime i change the channel the next morning she'll change back to 93.3. heh.

after that went to shop for farewell gift for her. i dun have much time to shop one lor.. n when i need to get a gift for someone i tend to choose v carefully, n then end up not buying cuz i got not enough time or not sure if the item is worth the money. yah. well. anyway i was super pissed. with my phone. think it only happens to my phone anyway. for a few hours i dun receive any sms, but when i make a call or sms someone, then the sms-es start coming in. that was wad happened then. my dad said he kept calling me, but my phone seemed to be off. n i thought he would get off work at 9pm, so i took my time to shop for the gift. when i reached his workplace, there was no one around! i started to call him n then i started to receive 2 sms-es. 1 from my dad, sent at 8.10pm, telling me tt he's going home already. i was so angry with my phone that doesn't function as a phone n had the urge to smash it on the ground. .... thank God for self-control. but i was so angry i started to cry. yeah, in orchard road. but cannot take it anymore, cannot wait till i hide somewhere to let it out. now i'm okay. but i wanna change phone soon. been wanting to do so, but i can't bear to do so till i can download the pics i took with my phone. can't dl it except by cable. ...!!!

it's silly to get so angry with a phone.

:: wedding and a birthday ::

fri
went to chinatown food centre for dinner with my parents. always like visiting n trying food at new places. =)
food there OK only.

sat
woke up early, dressed up, go for Christine's wedding!! she was my NYP Campus Crusade DG leader. it was held at Tampines Lighthouse Evangelical church. concert style.. haha.. but one thing bad abt the place is, the aisles are at 2 sides..... usually the bride will walk down the centre while the people stand at the pews, watching her n applauding n cheering.. but this one not everyone could see her. n also the couple didn't go up the stage, but they stood at the front of the seats, so hardly anything to see. but the skit put up by their friends about them, the duet they sang... really a joyous occasion. i was even touched to tears.. =P

went home to get changed n get ready for cell grp. jac set up a few carnival games.. cool! had a time of reflection for 2006 and sharing for 2007. too bad i had to go off early. went home cuz i was expecting my new Singnet modem to be delivered. i had been using Jetpack ma, limited in volume. $19.95 for about 325MB per month. i've been exceeding the limit for a few months already, so decided to change to unlimited, shun bian get a wireless modem so that my laptop can also connect. after calculation, i think i made a good choice. =) the delivery came around 7pm. though i could have left cell grp later, still it's good to be prepared before the delivery man came. after all i was alone at home, gotta keep the underwear properly, closed the other room doors, sweep the floor... =P

after that i went to jinwen's bday party. went to get VCDs for him as bday present. think that award winning movies are good presents. hmm... so sorry i didn't get christmas presents for most of my friends... i do feel bad for not giving presents.. hmm.. those of u reading, got chance we go Candy Empire i let u choose anything u want k? *terms and conditions apply.

didn't know what to expect for his party.. just expected it to be a SDN DMD IM gathering. saw ze jian, darius, sab, valencis, esme, michelle. at first i couldn't recognise the crowd at the downstairs of j's block. just saw a lot of hiphoppers but not sure if that's his friends. didn't wear my glasses also. anyway. zj is still as crappy. the guys r in army now.. so when they meet up they sure talk abt army. then zj will say "ok la dun talk abt army. ... eh u know tekong...." (something like that) and he suan sab until v funny. "everything got exception." =P

reached home around 12am.

sun
woke up late for the Sunday Morning Teaching. =x
first service of the year. 2 electric guits today, somehow i really felt that it made an impact. encouraged me to worship God. =)
had lunch with my cell grp at marina sq, weiyang drove. v steady man. had bbq saba fish set meal, whoa! great man. weiyang kept praising the food. =x i had an exceptionally big fish. v happy. =D shopped around, but i didn't buy anything.. i guess i won't buy anything from shops like G2000, esprit, Dorothy Perkins, etc except in other countries where there is warehouse/outlet sale. *winks* in singapore, the shops i frequent would be This Fashion. =P

went to sentosa after that. have to reach before 5pm, to collect my membership card. well, since i was there, decided to take a walk at the beach. chose a good spot at Siloso beach... where the sun sets directly in my path. too bad i nv bring my camera out!! decided to take out my Bible to read a few chapters, to speed up the rate of completing my Bible reading plan. i really nv read thru it before. 2006 was the yr i finished reading thru Psalms, this yr is going to be exciting! it's good to start from Genesis la, where the tribes start. spent abt 2 hrs there, felt v refreshed by the sea breeze. had a good time thinking abt God and my plans for 2007, but somehow felt like i didn't get a conclusion.

after the sun set i wanted to quickly go toilet then go home. but when i reached Vivocity i saw an interesting ship docked behind and went closer to take a look. the guy said there was an exhibition in the shopping mall, so i went in. hmm, it's a Swedish ship. v interesting. the exhibition also displayed photos of Sweden... wah makes me v gian to visit Sweden! seems like a land of creativity (where IKEA came from) then after that i went downstairs to go MRT, n decided to go take a look in Candy Empire. wahhhhhhhh... i don't like chocolate, but lately been pigging out on Kinder Bueno.. =x the packaging design of the sweets and chocolates make me wanna own them! i think they will make good presents too. (hence my earlier suggestion) bought Arnott's butter shortbread. OK only.

v tired.

mon
woke up early cuz my dad was giving me a lift. had lunch at Haveli, where Paul (Liew) works. haha.. after lunch i decided to take a nap, n it felt like i took the whole afternoon of nap. dreamt that i woke up, went downstairs to get something, went back, found a comfortable position n immediately fell asleep again - in my dream. also dreamt that i saw a few pple in my office (there shld actually be only me n my colleague), as if it were bigger and had more rooms. when i woke up it felt like a few hrs of nap, but turns out only an hour. dunno if it's a good thing or not. then my colleague went out for interview. it was tempting to go back to slp, but by that time i had things to do.

grrr... CNY ecards. eeee. really no idea how to design CNY ecards. i dun want it to have anything to do with dragons/Chinese zodiac/religious objects, so my designs r mainly abt spring blossoms, wordplay. quite limited. then chat with my sis regarding holiday plans for Mar. hee..

had lunch with my mom at People's Park. shopped for toiletries.

:: keep on blogging ::

sometimes quite sian of having to blog.. yet i don't wanna miss out a day of my life? if one day i suffer amnesia, my blog would be the best way to help me understand what kinda life i led! =)

29 dec fri
half day of work. quite puzzled y my boss didn't inform me directly. is it because he knows my colleague will surely tell me? went to have lunch at People's Park. slightly further cuz we don't need to report back to office after lunch. took train with my colleague to tampines. fell asleep on the train all the way the EW line. hadn't rested enough even after my trip man. took the shuttle bus to Ikea -> Courts Megastore to find my parents. the interior of Ikea Tampines is somewhat like Ikea Alexandra. So i didn't feel unfamiliar. met some DMD juniors there. bought 4 big boxes. packed my stuff into the boxes. but i kept getting scratched against the edges of the cardboard. =(

30 dec
no cell grp today. stayed at home almost whole day. bia sectional training homework.. was even wondering if i shld go to church for PRC setup. in the end i did. i haven't got a reply from andr and roy, so i wondered if they were ok. but i had faith that God will protect them. nevertheless, i called them to find out how they were doing. glad that they're fine. went home to continue on my homework. halfway done but i was too tired to continue.

31 dec
wahh last day of the year!
went for service n passed some stuff to Agape from andr n roy. went for lunch with cell grp at kallang.. prawn noodles wor. the place we sat had a smell... like stinking beancurd...... :S
after lunch i went home to continue to work on my homework. finally submitted it n went to rest. tried to remove my contact lenses but it was v difficult. :( caused my eyes to go red. eeeee...
woke up n went out to meet singles' club. woohoo!~ long time no meet them! went to lau pa sat for dinner n then i took train to church. managed to get David to follow me.. if he go home he sure don't wanna go out again one sia. had a great time at the service, but my contact lenses kept giving me probs.
5,4,3,2,1!! weee!! i'm glad i celebrated countdown in church, not at some meaningless party. :)
half-guessed that my cell grp wld go chomp chomp after that. yay.. cuz later shun bian going nic's hse ma. had my egg beancurd n had fun with my cell grp. but too bad chomp chomp closing early that night man. then mic n wendy came n joined us. went to nic's hse n played mahjong till 6am, i bueh tahan liao.

1st jan 2007!
took bus home but didn't see my parents at home. packed my room till they came back. quite satisfied. =) my parents went to mustafa to buy a DVD recorder.. no more VCR~! =P watched the last episode of my fav hk serial =) now i can finally sleep early because the next 10pm channel U serial is not worth me staying up to watch.

2 jan
woke up quite late =P had brunch with my parents n walked around. then continued to pack my room. this time i caused a lot of dust to come out.. i kept sneezing n having runny nose the whole day =( but i'm satisfied with the clean look of my room =)
went fishing with my dad at punggol jetty. caught 2 fish!! =D but before we went back my dad told me to release them. =( mom cooked dinner.. errr... ok only la. but we were v happy with the CP honey wings. LOL.
andr n roy came back today. andr came to my place to exchange luggage.. around 12+am.. my nose was blocked n runny n i couldn't slp the whole night. =(

3 jan
went to work.. still with runny nose n i just don't feel well. after lunch i took a break n rested since i got no work coming in. thought i felt much better cuz at least i could breathe thru my nose. but instead of having runny nose i blew out phlegm. :S went out to buy ginger tea, but didn't seem to work.
nevertheless, praise God for the work today. it kept coming in and the workload was just enough to keep me occupied so i don't feel like i skived. =)

hope the dust settles.
