i got my first pay roll of the yr. and with a greatful heart i entered life! bookshop at TM.
to my disbelief, the shop assistant was there 'bitching' with her guyfren. felt she needed to be reprimanded with that kind of working attitude. I wonder how she got the job. sheesh. am i cynical towards her. and her guy fren who was there trying to explain smth that seems like MLM used the fark words dunno how many umpteen times. that sorta word doesn't seem to belong in this kinda bookshop. then again..who am i to judge... i almost wanna tell him to refine his words and at the same time lower down his volume...tell off the young lady to do her job...crap man..she was showing that guy some pictures from her phone...was bitching to him how her bf was such a busthird. how her rival is vying against her...trying to snatch her bf away from her...WHAT IS THISSSS.............why didn't i get the job when i applied!?!?
i noticed when females wear low-V-necked top (i dunno how else to describe it). It's the kind that shows off their cleavage ...yar... personally i think they look quite unpresentable whenever they try to pull up the 'v-thingy-...so nan kan..so ugly..they seem to do it when there are many guys around...what's with them...are they wearing to cover or show off their cleavage? ironic! if they wanna show off..stop adjusting and adjusting...the hands arh...very itchy...if they scare getting their modesty outraged or simply attracting unnecessary attention, THEN DUN WEAR those....
I also think students esp in sec and jc schools are carrying pseudo school bags..they are carrying more of shopping bags or a bigger version of a handbag to school...those u would see in town...where there's only shoppers, tourist and leisure-seekers...

Hooray! WhY! cos the gov will be generously bank in a sum of money into my account-more than the amount i'm expecting! in fact, it is the PROGRESS package that PM lEE announced on budget06...to share part of the surplus we have
With that amount, I can pay for the church camp with ease and still have enough left to save!
What a way to be encouraged after i learn to commit myself to regular tithing, i feel.
REally, to learn how to give a portion of what the Lord has given us is not easy.. parting with CASH leh..heh heh...i'm a poor student leh..jiong xue sheng...
thus in this case, all the young adults in church like evan, ruth, kennth, eve, andrew, jean, constance.. dun need to worry about the $$ factor!
then again, i'm pretty lucky to be >21 this yr..
have a test tmr...really sucky...REALLY! 50 MCQ questions...
very dry readings and terrible lecture notes...SW2103. aiyoh...
i wonder what i'll comment about this module and dr v.
prob am not touching it anymore! got back home at 12am as i stayed in school to mug till 10pm.
last night was my first time into a bridal gown shop. i nv witness pple testing gowns.. and poor sharon has to shed a few precious kilo so as to don her un-altered gown. bestman ed, sigh...u need to eat more..gain mass....too skinny le...saw juan in her lovely gowns...yar..
i ain't gonna get too worried about my test tmr....

Unknowingly I like to put my family picture for display. And whenever someone comments that I look like my father, I have this unspoken joy. They would usually say that we have the same kinda hair cut, same look…
Last time, when I was younger, he would say ‘off course ma, photocopy wan ma, that’s why look alike’.
I’m glad that we look alike…One look says it all. However I do not want to be so prosperous in size. less the bodily appearance. hee
Other than looking up to my dad on earth, I also wanna look up to my Heavenly Father, one who is perfect and full of grace, wise and full of love with absolute fear.
Another testimony for God:
He is perfect in His timing.
Minutes after I posted the blog with lyrics from “empower me”, a friend who hasn’t been joining us at church read it.
IF I had gone for the retreat, I guessed I wouldn’t ‘lament’ so much…IF I hadn’t lamented, I wouldn’t include the lyrics and she wouldn’t have read it to realize she couldn’t live without God in her life.
I am absolutely amazed by how God uses the missed opportunity I had and transformed into opportunity for her to come back to church.
well people.. that's me on the day of the mega scale wedding... since i hafen took a picture of myself alone... i decided to take one that day...
my sista and me!! she's grown into a lovely swan i must say
aren't they sweet..just had their 24th aniversary...
my two lovely aunties with my cousin, jeralyn
it is my desire for God to continue showering His love, grace and blessing on my family...thank God for my family...

how thrilled. i got thru the audition and is in the musical- the clown =)
this might mean i may not be involved in any yr-end church (e-presbystery) activities...
how exciting. i got never-ending assignments, projects, reviews, presentations in school - NUS
i wanna take one day at a time.
i wanna take pleasure in doing all these stuff cos it's ultimately not for Man..
i wanna be breathe and not be bogged down by works, resulting in spiritual suffocation...
i wanna stay comparison-free in this world that takes pride in image and reputation which one day will vanish. (refering to most of us, well...u might wanna argue that einstein, joan-of-arc, alex, the great, king mongkut, ben franklin have their names in encyclopedia...but think about it... Jesus's name is still Name above all Name)
pple need the Lord
last weekend's retreat was far far better than the previous we had last Oct.
Thank God for Ps Bernard who shared about the power of the Holy Spirit.
I am glad i CHOSE to leave my work aside and spend time with God and His pple.
we need more of these.
sorely misse
when the Spirit of the Lord come upon people in a place...
I shouldn't have left the retreat for a mega wedding on sat.
i shouldn't have exchanged the sessions of Bernard Chan deep sharing about the Holy Spirit and His Power with a 110-table mega wedding ( where even community club pple were invited ) BUT earthly event.
I learned that I shouldn't exchange such precious encounter with a dinner.
foolish indeed.
AHHHHHHH...maybe it's not my time to meet with the Holy Spirit with such immense power and realness.
there's a prayer i want U to know....
i feel so sad...feel like crying to God..the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.
" Empower me like a rushing river flowing to the sea
God send your Holy Spirit flowing down through
so I'm living as a child, so victorious and free
send the power of your love empower me"
now i sorta get a glimpse of the meanin of this song.
God, thx for using evan so tremendously. Thank you for using him to share with me what I had sorely missed.

And he asked the nurse: "How's the child?"
Nurse replied: "Still no change."
the good that pain can do
what might be the purpose of the daily bread that rbc distributes, inspired by writers who shares by writing their testimonies and knowledge?
ans: to show God's far-sightedness.
God is faithful to those who sorta lost him along the way
He is even more faithful to those who seek after His heart. He has ways to get to you, to remind u to abide in Him.
Daily bread on mar 9: 'It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.' - Psalm 119:71
and as the daily bread refers me to 1Peter 1-3, i got ministered by v11 instead.
11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.
another topic,
spiritual battle..
this is terrible. i am beginning to realise how real this is.
The Enemy surely love to test u, make things hard on u, play punk with u when u are doing God's work...
Auntie muifong once said that as soon as both auntie jenny and her prayed for an elderly woman who was open to the gospel and signs of her beginning to have faith in God, there was news of her child being involved in an accident and was admitted to the hospital.
While we are doing God's work, the enemy will wanna weaken our determination.
So it is impt to ALWAYS SAFEGUARD each others in prayers, it is even more impt to do God's work with the strength God provides.
This enemy knows how weak humans can be...he will strike u where it hurts...but ultimately ultimately ultimately we will win cos we hold the trump card.
For me, the week that is almost over is one that i find myself engaging and witnessing spiritual warfare.
'
it hurts so much to see u the way u are now.where are u standing exactly?do u love us or not?or are u filling us with beautiful lies and magical deceptions?it irks so much to see u the way u are now.what are u doing exactly?do u know who we are or not?or are u filling us with weariness and hurt?run, run awayrun to the pt when u will just stop.u can run , but not hide...not even in the darkest corner of ur lil world.cos he can find and he will find u in that placeand let His light shine.come, come backwun u just come back.lay them all down at the feetcling to him and not on earthly thingsu can cry, cry out loud and with his hands,he will one day lift u up like an eagle.'O God, let ur glorious plan unfold b4 me.
Q
All of us would line up in queues almost everyday. You queue to use the washroom, when buying food, to enter into cinema, and even to speak.
Today, I thought the bus drivers driving 96 was on strike cos nv have I seen such a long queue extending from the berth to the bus shelter linking the interchange and the train station. At least, that was my first impression. I was amused, really.
It’s not as though I am going for a 8am or 10am class, in fact it was 8.40am… Frequency of bus 96 is usually high so it was very queer.
Surely I wondered ‘the authority upped our tuition fee and we are queuing 50m – 70m to board a bus to school.’
A rare surprise, just like the hike.

I have a tough month ahead (have= main verb, have =transitive verb, ahead= adjunct)
