Finally caught up with Shermaine yesterday after her last paper ended. MRT-ed to City Hall, had Sushi Tei for lunch, walked in the rain to Peninsular Plaza, then the underpass link to the other mall where she bought her shirts, then MRT-ed again to Orchard, shopped at Ion, got tired, decided to sit down and eat something, ended up choosing tiramisu ice-cream, admitted that we were still hungry, queued for about half an hour for takos, finished it within 5 minutes, decided to leave the food hall before we indulge in some more food. Walked some more, bumped into Mag at Diva. So subsequently Shermaine & I decided to sit down again cos our legs were really tired. Took pictures, then she went home. Even though we didn't really buy anything, it was fun to talk to you again, after so long, and I'm glad we did! :) Can't wait for eating spree the next time @ ECP. That pretty much summed up my outing with Shermaine. Memorably fun, found someone who loves hawker food as much as me!! 

Met up with Mag, Zandra & Janice to celebrate J's birthday. After shopping and walking around, we went to the HUGE Christmas tree outside ION. It's extremely pretty! Christmas is FINALLY coming! Though it was raining, we had lots of fun posing with the blingbling Christmas tree with a huge star at the top. Had loads of fun, and the festive mood really got to everyone. Dinner was at Swensens. After which I went home, while they shopped some more. Overall it was an okay day, I suppose. 

Liberation feels like it just knocked at my door, yet it's gone again. But it's okay, because the thought of a snow-filled Christmas leaves me with more anticipation than ever. I can't wait to be sixteen. (:

意念 [Nov. 5th, 2009|04:07 pm]

突然觉得生活有点极端，思绪似乎乱透了。一直以来以为只要持之以恒就能有所成就，现在的信念却被压倒。我真的好想停止，可是我可以吗？ 我会一无所有吗？ 别人常说，路遥知马力，什么凹凸不平，蜿蜒曲折的路，只要怀着坚强的意志，就没有所谓的不可能。但我尝过了，可是为什么还是回到原点？ "失败不足为惧，但是由失败而失望，由失望而绝望，由绝望而失去自强不息，坚定不移的精神"。 人生成败的关键，在于意志的强弱。也许我真的属于意志弱的类型吧。我看我把自己置于万劫不复的境地，我一次又一次地尝试，希望会有奇迹。现在更明显了，的确不值得我耗费心思，努力拼搏。

就快结束了，我也迫不及待地在等。“人非圣贤孰能无过”，我也终于明白了这个意思。期待，盼望，让人生增添了不少色彩，也让人生充满无限的希望。有了目标，不会再觉得累，反而只想努力冲向终点。现在我的目标只有一个 － 寻找以前的自己。从未向挫折低头，每天为自己的未来奋斗，鞭策自己，不断地求上进。生命中地点点滴滴，让我保持现状，而微笑也不会离我而去。

Knowing you [Oct. 31st, 2009|09:26 pm]

Hello Magdalene Lee if you're reading this I miss you and I'm so sad I'm not gonna see you tomorrow :( I can't wait for the big doughnut to be over, then our plans can be put into action!!! If not for you my sanity would have long been gone. So glad for our few days of fantasizing about future stuff. Big thank you for praying constantly for my ever-fluctuating health. I'm entirely grateful for a best friend like you who goes crazy with me, who finishes my sentences and who remains her composure when I'm the overreacting one and the one who worries at every teeny thing. Throughout this terrible period where I literally whine everyday, I'm so thankful that you're the "don't worry so much!" person. See you next week!!!! I love you best friend forever forever forever. Haha, the right reaction after this post is to say "AWW!!!!".  Hehe :) 

A song for everyone out there: 
Lost in the darkness, I stumbled alone, 
Far from the sunlight of day.
Then Jesus found me and made me His own;
He drove my darkness away.

Before I loved Him, He loved me.
Before I found Him, He found me.
Before I sought Him, He sought for me.
Yes, Jesus cares for me.

Chilled in the shadows, I wandered in sin,
Far from the warmth of the light.
Then Jesus found me and changed me within,
Kindled His love in the night.

Before I loved Him, He loved me.
Before I found Him, He found me.
Before I sought Him, He sought for me.
Yes, Jesus cares for me.

Now in the sunlight I followed His word 
Thru ev'ry trial and test,
He is my Savior and He is my Lord:
Gladly I give Him my best.

Before I loved Him, He loved me.
Before I found Him, He found me.
Before I sought Him, He sought for me.
Yes, Jesus cares for me.

Father, hold me safe in Your arms;
Father keep me free from all harm.
I cast my care on You Just like a child should do
Trusting, loving all that You are.

Abba Father, I rest in You;
You're always faithful,
You're always true.
Abba, Father, You are my song
Though clouds are dark,
Though night is long.
I cry to You, Abba Father.

Father, help me lean on You more
Through each valley, through ev'ry storm
Help me when I can't see Your will is best for me;
Love me, hold me sheltered and warm.


Abba Father, I rest in You;
You're always faithful,
You're always true.
Abba, Father, You are my song
Though clouds are dark,
Though night is long.
I cry to You, Abba Father.

Father, mold me, make me like new,
Guide my footsteps, keep my heart true
So that the world may see your like-ness lives in me.
Break me, shape me, make me like You.


Abba Father, I rest in You;
You're always faithful,
You're always true.
Abba, Father, You are my song
Though clouds are dark,
Though night is long.
I cry to You, Abba Father.

Deep waters, dark nights. [Oct. 17th, 2009|10:23 pm]
[Current Mood | prayerful]
[Current Music |God will make a way - Don Moen]

I thought I'd share a quiet time entry for a change today, instead of my usual posts. This entry is taken from Our Daily Journey, and it did help me get through the week, even though it was really difficult and trying. Here goes:

In the film The Perfect Storm, a captain and crew head out for what they hope will be an uneventful fishing expedition. In their quest for a bountiful catch, they motor far past their normal fishing location. There they find great success, but as they turn for home they encounter the horrifying combination of two powerful weather fronts and a hurricane. The crew struggles as they attempt to cut through deep waters, a dark night, pounding waves, and shrieking winds. Ultimately, the fierce weather overwhelms them.

As the disciples made their way across the Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida, they too found themselves in a ferocious storm - experiencing turbulent, deep waters and a dark night. They struggled to sail through pounding waves and shrieking winds. (Mark 6:8). He saw their exhaustion, desperation, and even their lack of progress. Not only did He see them, He came to them in an unexpected and powerful way, walking on the water (v.48-49). When Jesus walked on the water, He gave them a glimpse of the unlimited power of God. Though they couldn't speak, Jesus spoke to them: " Don't be afraid... Take courage! I am here! " (v50). His words and presence gave them courage.

If you're experiencing deep waters and dark nights, remember three things.
1) When you can't see Jesus, Jesus sees you. He sees your hard work, exhaustion, sorrow, fear and your lack of progress, and He cares deeply for you.
2) When you can't come to Jesus, Jesus comes to you - in unexpected and powerful ways. His coming is not always to deliver us, but to remind us that He's still in control and will not let us be overwhelmed.
3) When we can't speak to Jesus, Jesus speaks to us. He will speak powerful words of assurance: "I am here!"

It's so true. When we're alone or tired or despondent, it's easy to feel like we've been left entirely to ourselves. But that's not true. For God is with us. God's love will never let us go, never leave us to ourselves. It will never wane, never run thin and will always - always be with us. God's bold words echo with hope and perfect clarity, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
