hair has grown a bit longer and the roots colour is turning my head ugly. decided to colour my hair at jantzen. past 2 experiences were good and wanted to make it my long term hair salon. danise was not around and sam coloured for me. the colour turned out to be slightly redder than expected and i think i have to colour it darker the next round. anyway, was a bit disappointed by the washing. the massage was lighter and faster than my first 2 washes. well, overall hair colouring experience was still ok but i would prefer danise to do my hair the next time.
helped fyfy and pat to lead their cg last friday. faith told me the house had just undergone a renovation and has a very beautiful bathroom. the whole house is well furnished and of cos its bathroom happened to be my favourite part of the house. look at the jacuzzi!
the house has a large marine aquarium! i would love to have a fresh water aquarium in my home too, probably a small to medium tank is good for me. hopefully my husband loves water creatures and can share this love with me. hee hee
yesterday’s message was too overwhelming. had a few vague thoughts, but one thing remained on my mind.
i felt prompted to count my blessings. looking back these past 10 months, i must say that God has been extremely good to me. just over the weekend, my blessings were mark and spencers eclairs from yin teen, macua express dinner from wendy, 2 bags of shoes and clothings from wendy again and having spent time with benny, carrie and raine.
truely my God loves me and has been very good to me.
have been chasing hk drame “heart of greed” and fell in love with this theme song. hope you’ll enjoy this music as much as i do.
my love will get you home
if you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
if you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
if you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.
if the bright lights blind your eyes, my love will get you home.
if your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
if you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.
if you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
when there’s only you to blame, my love will get you home.
if you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.
if you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.
tonight’s another night of encounter with God. it has been a long day. but i must blog so that this will never be forgotten.
- had encounters with God at various meeting locations. God gently reminded me that it’s not the venues that matter but Him.
- enlarging my faith. ending december 07, begining 07 with cell group of 20 and service of 25. wg to hit 200 for xmas.
- 5 years from now, i ..
- would have raised up 3 cgls
- will be helping wendy with her wedding planner business
- would have gone into rural parts of china, planting schools and teaching needy children
- married with 2 children
- will still be wendy’s armour bearer, as she leads her zone of 1000 people
- will love God more, pray more, fast more
there is no shortcut. the key to breakthrough is to keep loving God, pray and fast more.
yesterday was somewhat different from my usual sundays. instead of going church, i was at school at 10am, ate sunshine plaza’s fried wanton mee, did cb project from 3plus and then movie at marina square.
usually i would have made my way down to class after church. but as i have already missed saturday’s class, i got to be around for the second lesson. thankfully, feedback was that sunday’s lesson is more fruitful than saturday’s. had lunch with jowelle, anne and nas, then went back for second half of lesson.
after lesson, went to delifrance for the don’t-know-how-many times to do cb project due today. few of us had some miscommunication, but still managed to complete our parts. worked under the dim orange light as i was using my brother’s pc to do the assignment and he wanted to sleep.. oh well, that’s what brother is for.. slept at 3.30am and came to work in my red spectacles today.
daniel brought his super duper adorable daughter to do project with us:
watched brothers, after project at gv marina, 9.10pm, with wendy, karen, donny, zhi peng, wei ren, my buddy doreen and her boyfriend jasper. watching movie on sundays at just $7 is really a good deal, so why not? i need to wind down anyway.
gosh, michael mui jiu wai looked so suave can, especially at the last scene where he was shot. i grew up watching them starred in cantonese dramas and a wave of nostalgic feeling washed over me.
my emotions has been liken a roller coaster for the past 2 weeks. as i grow older, i realise it’s harder for me to control my emotions..
members have been receiving lots of financial blessings recently. they’re bringing friends. friends are in the midst of being integrated and i’m seeing their lives change before me.
last tuesday, zm at jenny’s house was fantastic. God refreshed me and i felt His presence, pure love, encouragement and assurance. i love hanging around with wendy and the leaders.
i have very interesting project mates this trimester in school. they’re smart, considerate, witty, absolutely fun bunch of people to be with. people whom have helped me with work related issues and i’m totally grateful to.
i have worked very hard in the past few weeks and coming salary is looking somewhat comforting.
cg this afternoon was great.
basically my life has been pretty blessed and i’m very thankful. except that.. i felt i’ve lost a part of me..
maybe i thought i was strong enough not to be affected by this game, but i’m so wrong.
there’s still so much i want to do. now i can only pray that there’s still chances for me to bring him to church, meet up for more dinners and coffee. just some more of those times, simple yet happy.
在朋友那兒聽說 知心的你曾回來過
想請他替我向你問候
只為了怕見了說不出口
你對以往的感觸還多不多
曾讓我心碎的你 我依然深愛著
在朋友那兒聽說 知心的你曾找過我
我要他幫我對你隱瞞
只是怕見了面會更難過
我對以往的感觸還那麼多
曾給我幸福的你 我依然深深愛著
有一種想見不敢見的傷痛
有一種愛還埋藏在我心中
我只能把你放在我的心中
這一種想見不能見的傷痛
讓我對你的思念越來越濃
我卻只能把你 把你放在我心中
對你的聲音 你的影 你的手
我發誓說我沒有忘記過
而關於你選擇了現在的他
我只能說我有些難過
我也真心真意的等過
of course, You never fail to show up in times like this. just when hopelessness feel me, You reminded me that one man can make a difference to another one’s life. for now, i will hold on tightly to this promise and continue to be a blessing and a sunshine. meanwhile, i got to let go.. let it go..
there is this tug-of-war inside of me now still. it’s almost impossible to imagine how could i be like Jesus, to step into the boat of fallen humanity and yet never compromise on the spiritual values.
i do not want to end up like many who have tasted the glory, yet still compromise and eventually gave up their salvation. i need greater measure of the fear of my Lord.
there are too much thing occupying my mind and i need a release desperately.
i’m still thinking of next week’s cgm and i’ve got class tomorrow. wish i can go church tomorrow and be soaked in Your presence and get some directions from You. but i’ve missed today’s intensive and i have to be around tomorrow.
gosh, whatever is going on with my life at this moment..
Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls. - pro 25:28
long weekend started on the eve of hari raya puasa.
had arranged dinner with claris and baobao, to celebrate 宝宝’s very belated birthday. after sherrie had her dress fitting, i walked from office to claris’ workplace. however, the bull run, organised by sgx, seperately claris and i since we were on opposite sides of the traffic, and we had to meet at raffles place mrt instead. 宝宝 came late, as usual, hence, claris and i went shopping around orchard instead. claris bought a very cute tee from hula & co and a dress which she didnt manage to try on as there was a super long queue to the fitting room. both of us decided to wait for 宝宝 at the coffee club express at paragon as our legs were sore from walking heh! 宝宝 reached almost at 9pm, which was almost 2 hours late. claris and i ordered the prawn salad with wasabi dressing, and i gave up very soon as the wasabi dressing was too much for me. i ordered a chicken pie which claris and 宝宝 enjoyed more than i do. my ice earl grey tea would taste better without the vanilla ice cream. both of them ordered some pasta, which i feel was not fantastic. so overall, dinner was just alright. i have decided to rule out eating at both coffee club and tcc.
after dinner, we went to chill out at the balcony. claris had a watermelon martini, 宝宝 had a chocolate and i had a jelly. i think mine tasted the best, which was the highlight of the night. lol! i had a fun time with claris and 宝宝. love hanging around with these 2 jokers kekekeke
next i met up with rachel, samuel and gang at mos. the club was far too loud for me and i didnt enjoy at all.. they left for zouk while i made my way home. steven played us out and didnt turn up.. guessed he must have slept like a log.. shouldn’t have asked him to go back to sleep.. mom was still awake, practicing her singing when i reached home. well, now i can say i’ve been to mos!
saturday was hari raya puasa and there was no label pasting! i slept in and woke up at 11am ~whee~ ate breakfast and left for cg. cg was great, except for wrong- beat- clappings.
being a public holiday, i went home after cg for dinner. i’m such a girl! after dinner, watched vcd hk drama “greed of heart”. it’s a very nice show!!
went church on on sunday alone.. benny had to reach church earlier that day. weiren was sitting behind me and he was being “bimbo”.. which i can’t helped but kept smiling and gigling to myself! after service, went parkway to meet yin teen for bs, then met wendy and joanna at ministry of food. the food was nice, and reasonably priced. shall re-visit that cafe again! watched “mr woodcock”, quite a funny show, but not worth for weekend price..
went home, washed up and watched a few more episode of “greed of heart”.
monday was off day, but woke up early for label pasting. cuticles were tearing and it hurts… shall avoid opening the boxed next time and just stick to label pasting and closing the boxes instead.
left at 11.30am and wanted to go for a swim. but it started to pour heavily when i reached home. stayed home, surf net, watched scv instead. went to fitness first and bumped into hilda. she looked exactly the same i first saw her 7 years back. backed home at 8plus… lazed around, watched scv, vcd slept!
back at work today and i’m looking forward to the next p.h.!
i usually look forward to tuesdays as God always moves spectacularly. tuesday is the day where i receive, get recharged and becomes ready to give for the rest of the week.
of cos, there’ll be some tuesdays when i feel otherwise, especially when i’m really tired. i’m depreived of sleep due to the recent tests and projects datelines. felt so distracted despite the fact the God’s presence was so tangible in the holy auditorium. i felt i’ve missed it totally.
during worship, my mind kept thinking about cg, finances, upcoming bf, studies, people, friends, future… i felt i need to breakaway, but to no avail
if there’s one thing i want God to help me more, it has to be in the area of song leading. it was only towards the last moment, when i felt God assuring me that even if the quality of my singing remains the same, it will still be the sweetest sound to Him. what a joy to hear from Him the Great in such a manner!
i guess the rest doesn’t really matter anymore. i trust in Him that everything is well taken care of.
