#1716 Time flies

 


Wow the last I came here is already in 2018, almost 3 years ago.
Really, time flies. Miss the past when I have the time to sit down and just journal random stuff here.
Felt like I wanted to jot down how 2020 has made such an impact to everyone's life with this virus situation that is still ongoing, covid-19.

2020 April onwards, we spent most time at home, online. How I miss the travelling times in the past.
All the travel plans made had to pause for now. 
We got to wear a mask whenever we head out.
There are times when we can't even dine out.
 
& I got my first vaccination on 19th June this year.
The procedure was quite fast, thank God my side effects were bearable.
When the needle went in, I only felt a little poke.
Felt sleepy when I got home, so I had a 2hr nap after shower.
Then my arm started to ache and couldn't lift it up, felt like a ton of weights are on it.
The next morning, it was even more intense, I couldnt use my left arm to reach out for things.
Experienced slight headache, took a panadol to bed. 
Glad that by 3rd day the pain was mostly gone.
2nd vaccine in Aug, hope it will be bearable too. ✌

Took a 3 days leave off work this week for online Genrev camp.
It's our 2nd year having it online since last year. 
Miss the camps in past year where we get to go Bintan and KL for camps.
Although the experience is different, I believe God's presence is still in everyone's home/ room while we all gather in Zoom. 
Look forward to see what is in store this year, to experience Jesus's love afresh since I haven't been to CG for awhile now. I've been catching online services but just felt online CG is not my kind of thing?
I still prefer the usual face to face interaction, hope we can do that again soon. 😊

Throughout the years, I have also picked up keyboard lesson again and manage to complete the courses. Glad to have the chance to serve in CG worship team although its only for a short while before the whole covid thing happen. It's like a little wishlist checked off. 
I've also started serving in Rock Kids in the beginning of 2020 and it came to a stop since March till now. Miss all the little children I get to spend time with on Sunday mornings, although I have to wake up as early as 6am on Sundays for the first service. HAHA. 

Recently into gardening and embroidery!
We have so much plants at our corridor now. Glad that my parents are enjoying it as well.
We visits nursery on weekends to look at plants and flowers that we can bring home. hehe.
Many years ago, I remember giving cross stitch a try. 
Chanced upon embroidery while browsing youtube and instagram and decided to give it a try since its Phase 2 Heightened alert this period with nowhere to go. 
It's addictive! Although it really train my level of patience to slowly stitch by stitch get the embroidery done up. 

Reaching the big 3, I also start to focus on personal well-being/ self care more. 
Whatever that interests me, I will give it a try. I always tell myself, 'if not now, when?'
Like sky diving in Melbourne too. Best decision ever, although it was quite scary.. 😜 
When I feel the burn out, I took off to spend some me-time even though we can't travel, or even to JB.
Staying at home or head out somewhere in SG is good enough to clear some headspace.
I don't want my life to just be about work. 
I think reaching this age, I also can't help but feel running out of time? 
Always praying that God renew my youths, so I can do much more, amen. 😅

Shall go prepare for tonight first camp service. 
Not sure when is my next post, but you know where to find me. 😁

#1715 You are here so it is well




Two months has passed for the year 2018. 
2 more weeks and I will be heading to Japan for the first time!
Hopefully I will share more about it when I'm back. But for now, still planning the itinerary and before we are even there, Jeanice and I have spent a big hole..
I am also in the midst of stepping out of my comfort zone in terms of career. As scary as it sounds, change is the only constant. Like what my boss say, change is only scary in the beginning. It was also my first time in these 2 years I broke down in front of my 2 bosses cause my heart cannot take it! Imagine 3 news hitting me on the same period of time. For a moment I felt stress and lost. More challenges and more expectation from now on but I'm leaning on God for His wisdom to get through this! An opportunity which I believe is an open door to do more and grow as well. 
Sharing a worship song that I heard last Sunday that speaks to me during this period..
//
I don’t want to be afraid
Every time I face the waves
I don’t want to fear the storm
Just because I hear it roar
Peace, be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can’t see
I will trust the voice that speaks
I’m not gonna be afraid
‘Cause these waves are only waves
I’m not gonna fear the storm
You are greater than its roar
Oh, I’m not gonna fear at all
//
You will stay true
Even in the chaos
Your Word remains truth
Even when my mind wreaks havoc
I will be still for I’ve known all along
My Jehovah Shalom

There’s a peace far beyond all understanding
May it ever set my heart at ease
Dare anxiety come I’ll remember
That peace is a promise You keep

You are peace to a restless soul
Peace when my thoughts wage war
Peace to the anxious heart
That’s who You are
You are peace when my fear takes hold
Peace when I feel enclosed
Peace when I lose control
That’s who You are
