1. Putting my hair over my face for 10 secs

Wow! That was SOME hard time deciding my top 10. I just couldn't really decide which comes before which. Sometimes, I wanna just come up with some random questions and clear up my mind about them. haha!

Maybe that's what I will do when I'm out of job! But I kinda enjoy this lifestyle. Just going for tuition sessions with my kids, catching up with friends, making visits to play with little kids, reading books that I want to read without any stress, and sleeping till late! :)

I love being OUT OF JOB!

but not for too long...

If I have unlimited amount of money...

I'll give them away to all the orphanages.

I'll buy all the tissue packs from all the underprivileged.

I'll buy all the scrap booking materials from Made with Love.

I'll buy all my friends presents and treat them to good meals every day.

I'll buy a plot of land in Bugis and build a small cozy cottage for me and my family. There must be a small garden too.

I'll fly to USA to visit Weiying & Aussie to visit Rachel whenever I can.

and... I'll add more to the list when I think about it.

I was just bored, and I let my mind wonder around for a while. :)

I've grown...

It was a fulfilling and "tummy-filling" trip! :)

The coming days will be a time for exercise!

An act of kindness

An interesing feeling always lingers in my heart after reading Mitch Albom's books. A deeper part of me seems to surface and set me thinking about life, and death. It really is a little dash between life's 2 most important dates-birth date & death date. To make the best dash is not easy, but I hope my dash will be bolder increasingly. That would mean an increase in depth.

I just read "Have A Little Faith". It truly inspires me to be a woman of God, living according to God's purpose for me, and doing more things to impact others around me. I realise that as I past my 2nd decade in life, I grew and matured, looking past the facade of life and grasping the cruel truth that surrounds our society. I used to briskly walk past aunties and uncles who were trying to sell me a few packs of tissues for $2. Until one day, I brushed my shoulders against this "tissue Aunty" at Bugis. I instantly feel her sweat on my skin. But my disgust was transformed into a tint of compassion. "She must be standing there for the whole afternoon." Because I walked really fast, I was already halfway into Bugis village. Feeling a sense of guilt, I made a turn, jostled through the crowd to reach her. It was just a small act of kindness, which I almost didn't manage.

When we are serving others, we're actually serving Jesus. It might just be a small gesture of kindness. But I would never have known how much that would mean to that Aunty.

And I'm very proud to say that I did an act of kindness again today.
Perhaps, this kindness is more for myself than for her, to ease my unsettled heart. But I hope that one day I can reach out to the "tissue Aunty".

Y camp

Frankly, I was really having mixed feelings after the camp. And I was really confused by my own feelings. And I thought that was ridiculous, so I spent some time reflecting on what I should thank God for in this camp, instead of surrounding myself with all the negative thoughts.

Indeed, it's not easy taking care of them, trying to hold an intellectual conversation with them, getting to know their inner world, and etc. But looking through the curtain of hard work that's filled with sweat, frustrations, and complains, I saw their smiley faces. Not just the bennies, but also my fellow volunteers. :)

It was then that I know my greatest takeaway from this camp.

It's like a miracle

This is the skyline of Philadelphia.



This is the city hall and one liberty.

And I'm gonna meet them face-to-face in just 2 weeks time! Yes! I'm going to US, Philadelphia! "Philly"! "City of brotherly love"!

I've always enjoyed travelling but financially it's hard for me to do so. And this time, i'm so thankful to God that He gives me this chance to go with Junming and his mum. Junming's there on a biz trip, while me and jm's mum are there for sightseeing and shopping! And God is so good to allow my lecturers to permit me to join other tutorial slots. :)

God truly knows my inner desires.
And what's best is that He makes them happen!

Girls' outing!

It's been a long time since I had a girls' outing with my fellow church girls. I really had a good time with them.

Things we did:

1. Shopping aimlessly at city link.

2. Staring at some candy men making candy. Heard of the shop "Sticky"? I was quite amazed by the strength and effort that were required to make those rolls of candy. I didn't know how long we stood there. But I guess it was long enough till the staff thought we were not Singaporeans. Haha!

3. Dinning at Saizeriya, a really cheap and nice restaurant at Liang Court.

4. Playing "Truth & Truth"! All secrets must remain as secrets. :D

One of my to-do items for 2010: Spend more time with the girls! :)

I will miss all the potatoes!

I realise this sad truth about the favourtite thing in my life.

My favourite thing is potato.

And the sad truth is: I cannot eat it as often as I want now!

I told God that I want to have a healthy body this year. Away with all the cough, bad throat, and blocked nose. I had my fair share last Dec, during the festive season! :(

The main reason my throat inflammation haunted me again was because I ate too much potatoes. I was busy consuming potato chips & cheese fries right after my exams! I just rewarded myself too much.

That was when I realised that whenever I eat too much potatoes, my throat inflammation will visit me again, somehow.

Well, favourite things in life are not meant to be taken all in one go. I should savour them little by little. :)

Marching on to a healthy body! Hooray!

Eating too fast

I can only say that I have a really unique stomach.

I cannot eat too much. If not, I'll vomit.

And I cannot eat too fast. If not, I'll also vomit. And this was what happened yesterday. I ate my dinner in a rush, cuz I ignored all others' advices to eat earlier. So I ended up finishing my noodles in a rush. Nothing happen until I lie down on my bed. I can feel my stomach juices stirring within me. And I vomited in my toilet soon after.

It was such a bad experience. But now, I know my stomach so much better.
