this week has bn great! catching up w loads of ppl~hee
mon morning - met up with bernard, kar, juan, joe, han qin, FM & zong & had a sumptous tim sum brunch! haa.. we ordered so much food which came almost all at the same time & poor karene can't even see the person sitting opposite her! it was a great time 2 hang out together..
mon late afternoon - went to ze SJCp young entreprenuer shirleen yappies' waffletown stall in JJC - only to find her, liwei and friend tryg 2 mix up paper models~!
mon evening - met up with my aw cousins (faith, yang & heng) at their place, hasn't seen them for months! the last time when it was CNY.. it was good to just talk about our childhood~!
yang has this brain tumour which was discovered last nov.. i think he's holding strong, the kind of resilience is encouraging..he has been through chemo and the tumour has since shrunk from 3.3 cm to 2.something cm.. really encouraged by the kind of support which his parents & siblings are giving him.. crisis really binds pple 2gether..
this kinda reminded me of one of the lectures in pastoral care and counseling in TTC.. that in times whereby it seems that we have limited days to our life, it'll be so great to add more life to our days..
monday night - watched "50 1st dates" with Faith aw.. cool show, sadler and barrymore - really good to have some time with Faith.. think she has really blossomed to such a beautiful and fine young lady..
tues! met up with Evelyn at HV.. met at about 6:30pm and parted at 10:45pm.. haa..it was such a good time catching up at haagen diaz..we got the couch so we were lazing and chatting there for a almost 3 full hours..
wed - haa! had ps glenn over to share with us a 22min movie. "green grass" is based on his life, how his life was in a mess and how God cleared it up..some parts are really farnee - the still anxious mother.. the "dear ling ling, i want to proposal to you.. the "i want to go home because i can cook maggie mee".. )
to check out more please go to

i gathered some feedback from the girls, they really enjoyed it - a few shared with me that they're so amazed at how God can turn a life around..
.. i'm encouraged and thankful to God cos i could hear the girls singing during community praise.. there's also this particular class 3/7 who were really well-behaved.. God is at work
"I love you Lord, more than I love myself..."
(it's easy to sing but so hard to do it.. Lord pls help..)
thurs mon 1am - changi airport
went with bernard n mommy to send susan off to BAM (iran).. in all 6 ppl went as crisis relief worker to pack food (rice, sugar, onions etc) for 800 families (meaning 8000 pple)
lend my purple sweater n NASB bible to susan .. i'm glad that at least possessions reached BAM.. haaaaa.. they're more fortunate than me.
reached home at about 3am.. praise GOD that we got rides from boon sing n florence ho (to changi) and canon kuan n joe (back home)
one of the smss girls told me that her class has already set aside some money to give to the earthquake victims in BAM.. wow.. i'm impressed! Praise GOD..
was speaking to joanne about her trip to BAM - she said that she felt tremors for a few seconds.. gasps..

was doing my work and i met a young lady abt 14 years of age over msn who's totally ga-ga over michael buble. I met her last year during a bbq in st. james' haa.. adeline's her name!
so we were like 2 silly girls talking about his music.. haa.. it was so much fun..
okie.. back to serious business, met a cf gal who was also on msn - she send me her testimony which i asked her permission to publish in my blog. she's the same gal whom i spoke about yesterday .. here it goes..
______________________________________________
" I felt a breakthrough in my life after one special encounter i had with God. That night i felt this huge and heavy burden suddenly come upon me and that burden is to bring more and more souls to come to Christ.
I remembered this verse which was very special to me.
"You are the salt of the Earth;but if the salt loses its savour wherewith shall it be salted? It is thence good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under the foot of men.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill canot be hidden.Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand where it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your Light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and Glorify Your Father in Heaven.-Matthew 5:13-16
I felt that as a christian ,i wanted to let my light shine before the my friends so that they will know that Jesus Christ is the Truth. And then i thought,to be a light
I must first leave all my earthly treasures behind and be 100 % God-minded.
I thought of all the things i liked that belong to the world like all those songs i am used to...thinking about those songs make me feel disgusted now.
I admit it wasnt easy to make up my mind.But after a while,I finally i decided that i will leave all my earthly songs behind to follow Him.
The moment i decided that, I suddenly started crying (shhhh...dun tell anyone) , i really didnt know why but i believe God touched me.
I suddenly felt that wide gap that stopped me from connecting to God narrowed up.I felt closer to God much much closer.
I remembered what my church friend once told me...she said that it is always sin and temptation that blocks our relationship from God.
I Felt a Breakthrough then.
It was a thursday or something like that and on that day we had christian fellowship...but on that day i didnt go and Vanessa called me up.
She told me what that day's CF was about and she said it was about Bad Songs that pollute our mind.I was very surprised that it was the same topic as what i thought over the day before.
Yahui told me on Msn that she prayed for the Girls in CF that they will leave these worldly songs behind too.
I believe God is working and working through all the christians to make them a light to others as just nice i was also praying on the same day for the rest.
And i dont think it was just a coincidence!
God is Really Great and i thank Him for giving me this breakthrough.I now feel as though i have renewed my relationship with Him!

took a break from my assignments to blog.. just for a while..
i've been reading the book "how to go on living when someone you love dies?" it's for an assignment in TTC.. really aint easy - that's one thing i know.. still learning & exploring - God please help *smile*
hmm.. guess what? table's already getting messy! but then who cares? this means that there has been human movement which means that yahui got cho-gang.. haha~!
had quite a good time with the cf gals today.. all the first-timers who were involved in community praise (Sabby- drums,Ashley-CPL did well) did well..in my eyes i think they gave their best to the Lord! *yeah*
today had a conversation with auntie Eileen (one of the mentors) and both of us concluded that there's a good bunch of CF gals who have got real servants' heart. cool - praise God!
a SMSS gal lend me her very much treasured michael buble cd - woah.. been searching for one for the past few months.. hee.. well listening to it now *come fly with me, fly and fly and fly away* susan heard it too and she absolutely loves it! was telling her that i really wanna watch broadway live, at least once in my lifetime! so if anyone have any spare tickets, please remember me. hee.. hmm.. went into a movie rental shop the other day, hoping to find "42nd street" but it's N/A there.. well.. hope that i'll get to view it someday.. God is great!

felt pretty accomplished today, packed my table at the office - almost everybody who walked past were rather amazed - that they could actually see CLEAR space on my table. haa.. someone after commenting on the neatness, asked how long the neatness will last and i promptly said, it won't cos tmr's cf day and sun's LJOY day which means lotsa things will be left at the table after events.. haa.. i'm certainly not complaining, just real glad to be of service to the Lord and to see pple serving with me!
one of the gals, Labioui *name has been changed to maintain privacy of person - haa* recently told me that she has decided to put aside all the trashy music which she's pretty drawn into and to really concentrate on God. That evening b4, we were addressing about the dangers of music in CF. she wasn't there in the meeting but a cf gal told her about it..after some thoughts and talk with her dad, she decided to put the trashy music aside and set her heart to walk with God. wow! i think GOD really works beyond meetings, beyond time and touches ppl in a personal way. Lord, you really really marvel me
