soon it'll be 2005, looking back, yup, lots of happenings and lots of stuff going on, but you'll always see god's miracle wonders in our problematic lives and telling us no to certain stuff cos better stuff is on the way - his ultimate right way...
this year's countdown will be spent with both earthy and heavenly pop... it's actually the best way ( to me ) yup~
new year resolution? to achieve the resolutions. ha~ it's a secret... but again, this is one of them which never seemed to be achieved... grow long hair... guess i'll cont to be a mushroom =p
kinda worried for my loved one. felt the anguish of the hurt that was given to her... this is one event that i will find it hard to forget... i can only hope that she will find comfort in god...
arts central has made E decision. replacing inuyasha with hellsing. what were they thinking??!!!
to all: happy new year!!! live it to the fullest!!!

had meeting last night - fun and entertaining, websites with different flash webbies are soo soo cool... thank god for pearls who led the team yup~ we'll see a better website all revamp and all ready to spread to the rest! ps... livi can really eat... i mean REALLY EAT...
was pretty scared at the thought of losing mice, because, she loves sun, beach and sea, and she's in thailand. i couldn't get her on the phone no matter what, until this morning, and still, i couldn't get her nor the people around her. where did she go? what happened to her? is she okie? how come and whats... thank god, she's safe and sound...
woke up to an unpleasant news. i think, back then as a pre believer, i would have slap that person left and right and kicked him in the middle or maybe even stamp him in the face with my heels. but somehow, god made me realise, no matter how much i am disgusted with that person, i still have to forgive him. thoughts running through my mind, and now, it's only the beginning of the battle. i really don't know how i would react when i see him again... let's go through this mess together... you, me, the rest and mr Big Guy up there will carry us...
went to gombak to have perd treating me deep fried tofu in thai sauce... muahahaha it taste so yummy man... after that went to meet up with sheep! ate fries and mayo... wha~ burp... and i saw earrings! if i have dough on hand... i'll spend it all on earrings...
thinking: lets go through this together
song: third day - love song

it's going to be a new year, new resolutions, new people coming in and new things handle. i pray for more strength in a new envoirnment with strangers, better time and money managment and be a much more better child of yours.
when i woke up eruptly this morning because of a dream ( i dreamt that i scored all the 3 pointers against the brothers - ha! i wish... ) it suddenly dawned upon me that school is less than a week away and here i am sleeping soundly, comfy bed, fluffy pillows... and wait, where's oscar... he's outside, all snuggled up on the couch... time is drawing near to school reopen... wha~ sob... itsh okie! new contacts*woohoo~
as i walk to the living room table, i read the headlines about the tsunamis... 22,000 death toll rate and still counting... is armageddon on the way? wait, i should rephrase it, is the end of time drawing nearer? some thoughts came into me, i havent worked yet, i've not finished with my studies, i've havent got a boyfriend yet, i've never got kissed before, i've not done a lot of things, i haven't see my friends and family convert yet, there's no cg in nafa, my grandma and dad and nana, they havent convert yet... so many yets and uncountable havents... time seemed to be a lot less than usual... i looked on the computer table, there it is, purpose driven life with the sentence below, what on earth am i here for? if armpit hair is for reducing friction ( trust me i don't see a point but god place it there so i can't really argue ) and hair on our fingers and toes are for some funny reasons, then the more we should do something being that we have the word of god... so many people died because of the sudden tidal wave ( 50 feet = 20 metres = 10 story high ) and many who perished don't even know god... who knows, a tidal wave might suddenly occur in singapore and about half the population doesn't even know who jesus is might just be gone... just like that...
i hate geography and i have no inkling what those tsunamis do but it got me reading more on them and pondering, mother nature or mother earth or whatever you call it, does seem more scary than any osamas put together, because they don't have any plans, they don't film themselves and give warnings nor do they hide. it's just a sudden fart they gave out or a nudge when they feel uncomfortable between their mountain brothers... is god still in control? yes he is. ultimate one in control.
thinking: mushroom soup with croutons
song: norah jones - come away with me

christmas service rocks man~ really want to thank god for the people working backstage and front as well... i think they all deserve a good rest and lots of sleep... and lots of comfort food as well... thinking of log cakes and turkey sandwiches...
yeah! our cg has got 2 converts! ken and james!!! and there's this guy, walk in visitor eric, he also converted!!! muahahahaha~ man these are wonderful gifts that can take over any earthly prezzies anytime~ though i don't know how many people have converted in di alttogether but all i know is that all these cannot be done if not for god and a great team leader, meihwa... you have led the team well darls!
even though this year has been a series of highs and lows, happiness and tears, changes and stagnent circumstances, but i still want to thank god for such an eventful year. looking back on them, made me realise how stupid i was to handle things my own ways cos in the end, god is still ultimately in charge... god answered many prayers and often prayers that have been unanswered for a long time, were answered at the moment when i least expected it... proving this... yes no and wait...
people i want to thank god for...
image team: jinqi, jaron, shelby, giselle, alicia, huixian for helping me out in preparing the people for service. all of you are like my right hand men. especially my 3 oldest disciples jinqi, jaron and shelby. you three helped me the most when things are getting out of hand and yet you three can calm down and made me realise getting panicky doesnt help much ( heh heh must learn this hard ) and also to giselle, alicia and huixian, you three just came in but even though being unexperience, you guys still tried your best to give all... your rewards is in heaven!!!
di: there's too many people to be named here but in all, you guys rock! always doing their best for god and serving relentlessly and joyfully... we all have our inner battles to fight but we all shall remain a victor amen di-ians?! because god is with us, who can be against us?
perd: the card has been given... shall not say anything more if not the hair will grow more curly... and head bigger, then you'll have to go sideways through the door... -_-'
sheeps: wonderful people, though im sometimes very fierce or sometimes, grumpy looking or even expressionless, but nevertheless, everything i do is for the best for you. if there's anything that i can do for you, tell me and i will do it. not because of anything but because we live for god and others and lastly ourselves. so therefore yup, i put you secondly after god ( haha scully i type keroppi ) and also... love is just a word to me. talk is cheap, action is deep. i love you all.
jaime: hows it like celebrating xmas in thailand where the calendar date is 2354? misses seeing you and that silly grin on your face, quick come back to singapore and pass me that ring okie! love ya!
thinking: 1 week to school reopen! ack...

since young, besides the christmas carol - it came upon the midnight clear, which was my favourite another one is the 12 days of christmas which puzzled me for many years cos why on earth would people put a hen on a one pear tree or give 1o men leaping in the air away... you know... i just couldn't get it... until i came across this and everything came clear to me~ ah~
History records that from 1558 until 1829 Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol to make it easier to secretly school young Catholics. Beyond the literal words of the song is another level of meaning. Each element in the carol is a symbol to teach a spiritual truth.
The song's gifts are hidden meanings to the teachings of the faith. The "true love" mentioned in the song doesn't refer to an earthly suitor, it refers to God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every baptized person. The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge which feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestlings, much in memory of the expression of Christ's sadness over the fate of Jerusalem: "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! How often would I have sheltered thee under my wings, as a hen does her chicks, but thou wouldst not have it so..."
The other symbols mean the following:
2 Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens = Faith, Hope and Love
4 Calling Birds = the Four Gospels
5 Golden Rings = The first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace
6 Geese A-laying = the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments (represent the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: prophesy, serving, teaching, exhortation, contribution, leadership, and mercy
8 Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit ( love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control )
10 Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed
my own version soon perhaps?
went for image and drama shopping yesterday... my feet were so sore and flu came after diahorrea and fever came. darn... i thought i drank enough water and boy was i wrong... didn't turn up for cg last min due to some last minute dinner with sister before she fly to shanghai... she brought me to eat some really fancy nice spag ( fancy name scallopini and tenderloin - scallopini is actually pork... eh? ) but actually all the time she was telling me how nice the food was, i couldnt even taste it... even if there's wine inside i couldnt even guess it. but oh wells, spent quality time with her yup~ want to invite her for 23th's service yeah~
shopping is scary to me... especially when there's a lot of shoppers and the music played in different shops are like bomming loud... oh~ give me some serenity anytime ba~ didnt know topmen sell clothes that ladies can wear~ hohoho shall buy that stripe top next time perhaps if... if... if... and heh heh i saw really nice tops from far east... gold pics... wha~ bling bling

Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don't get discouraged and give up. We should help people whenever we can"
Galatians 6:9-10, Contemporary English Version

stuff that doesnt taste too good seems to be the best actually... i wonder what did my dad asked me to eat... it tasted sweet yet hot * as in mint hot* and salty... eeewww... now my tummy's churning~ hahaha it turns out to be some ginger sweet potato dessert and it taste like... *squirms*
anyways... finished war and beauty and i got my pop to join me and apparently he himself is hooked too haha~ oh wells, great script with great acting skills~ drama!!! thinking of something out of the box, if maybe we could have something different like some hokkian or canto drama man~ it'll be soo interesting~
right and wrong. which one are you choosing this time? to give up or not to give up. come on friend... choose the right path. the one that god has set for you...
thinking: time is running out for image... i need some anointing from big guy to find and to source out cheap yet good stuff...
song: jeremy camp (so cool!!!) you're worthy of my praise
