As every year comes to a close, you would hear comments such as "This year passed so quickly!" and "Time went by so fast!" ...
And its a time of reflection ... of the year that just ... whizzes by. What were the good things that happened? What were the bad things that happened?
It would usually be only the good and the bad highlights of the year that stays in our minds.. i mean, who remembers the mediocre stuff right? haha
But always remember, to praise God for the good stuff!! And to give thanks for all He provided.
As for all the bad stuff, reflect and think on how God has brought you through it, what you've learnt and all the help that you've received from others...
"When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You above the storm. Father, You are King over the flood. I will be still, and know You are God." (by Hillsong)
Smile with Joy!

Heavenly Wisdom
i don't know what to do ... really need wisdom from above ...
Lord, please give me wisdom! As you said in Your word that those who lack wisdom should ask and You would give freely...
i resolved today to really just put in my best before i go. so things went better in today's meeting. i learnt, absorbed and understood better. praise God.
and He made it seem not so hard nor complicated. thank You Lord! but it is still really too much to do. can't take it. i have a headache today ...
anyway, back on track to the meaning of Christmas!
Number 2: The 2nd meaning of Christmas is dispelling the darkness!! Ever realise that the atmosphere around Christmas is so kira kira (sparkling) and a joyous occasion? The spiritual atmosphere is very important, as it's the time of giving and a time of joy!
So lets all join in to dispel the darkness!! *shoo! shoo! shoo!!* *stomp stomp*

High above my circumstances, I will bless You Lord ...
LOL just the post before is about administrative scriveners, and now i have to become one.
Marketing Executive: Leasing Administration, Tenancy Agreements, IRAS e-Stamping, Advertising Administration, Operations middleman, Finance GTOs, Counselling administration/seminars.. super underpaid ... and now they want to add administrative scrivener??? doumo, tamura desu.
Psalms 119 sums up how i feel right now ...
107 I have suffered much;
preserve my life, LORD, according to your word.
114 You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.
116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.
117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
I will always have regard for your decrees.
121 I have done what is righteous and just;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;
do not let the arrogant oppress me.
123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
looking for your righteous promise.
124 Deal with your servant according to your love
and teach me your decrees.
125 I am your servant; give me discernment
that I may understand your statutes.
126 It is time for you to act, LORD;
your law is being broken.
132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,
as you always do to those who love your name.
134 Redeem me from human oppression,
that I may obey your precepts.
135 Make your face shine on your servant
and teach me your decrees.
136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
for your law is not obeyed.
139 My zeal wears me out,
for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
and your servant loves them.
141 Though I am lowly and despised,
I do not forget your precepts.
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
but your commands give me delight.
144 Your statutes are always righteous;
give me understanding that I may live.
145 I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD,
and I will obey your decrees.
146 I call out to you; save me
and I will keep your statutes.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I have put my hope in your word.
148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.
153 Look on my suffering and deliver me,
for I have not forgotten your law.
154 Defend my cause and redeem me;
preserve my life according to your promise.
156 Your compassion, LORD, is great;
preserve my life according to your laws.
166 I wait for your salvation, LORD,
and I follow your commands.
169 May my cry come before you, LORD;
give me understanding according to your word.
170 May my supplication come before you;
deliver me according to your promise.
171 May my lips overflow with praise,
for you teach me your decrees.
172 May my tongue sing of your word,
for all your commands are righteous.
173 May your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.

Tokujo Kabachi
I really enjoyed this J-drama series by Sakurai Sho and Horikita Maki.
A good combi and good plot. Interesting cases that the administrative scriveners handle. The romance part at the end was so sweet but dang funny.
I went to TS to buy the dvd, but currently it is at $29.90 because it is a new release! even at 30% discount it would be $20.93. I shall wait till it becomes like the older dvds, $24.90 at 50% which is $12.45, or even the super sale ones at $7.90!! HAHAHA
but i would recommend this drama, out of the whole list of J-dramas i recommend LOL
*thumbs up*

Audacity & Tenacity
As pastor quoted the parable.. about the persistent widow and the unjust judge. basically, the judge is corrupt, and neither feared God nor cared what people think. however, this poor but persistent widow had a very good case. And she came everyday pleading and petitioning to the unjust judge to avenge her.
Now, of course the unjust judge ignored her at first. like hmph! why should i bother with you?! but the widow came everyday, hounding him and crying.. until one day the unjust judge says to himself.. even though i do not fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, i will see that she gets justice!!
(reference Luke 18)
So we as humans, know this principle of being thick skinned.. and keep hounding and asking people for things we want or things we want to get done. BUT!! we are always wishy washy in our prayers to God. How much more our heavenly Father who loves us so much, wants to bless us, even more than what we can imagine!!
So lets all ask the Lord audaciously (boldly) and tenaciously (persistently)! Not of selfish things, but in line with God's will and principle, to bless ourselves or to bless others. And dun be afraid of making God nervous or bored, because He is almighty and powerful, and He loves to hear us pray! :)
And to follow up the previous post, i shall break up the meaning of Christmas!!
Number 1: The meaning of Christmas is giving, a heart without hating or striving ^_^

Latest update?
Gosh... i realised that i have not updated my blog for like MONTHS!!! I realised it only after JS asked me the other day for my blog address.
My last update was on June 13th??? LOL my whole life has only been plastered on facebook XDDDD
O ma ga, so many things has happened since then!! My birthday passed, Massu's birthday passed, somewhere after that was Shige's birthday haha ...
And then it was National day, and then i have totally no recollection as to what i did in September... Oh NEWS LIVE Album came out and they held concerts which i could not go for sheesh...
And then i went to Japan for a holiday in October for ten days and came back!! After that awesome trip, found out that my salary would not be raised, so its job searching again ...
And now its November!! Even Ryou-chan's birthday has passed ... NEWS single Fighting Man has been released ... gosh time really flies ... then it would be tegoshi's birthday, then pri's birthday, then xq's bday, then js bday ...
Soon it will be the year 2011!! And i just got used to writing the year as TWO ZERO ONE ZERO!!! *shakes fist at time* but oh well ...
Everytime the end of the year approaches, everyone would go into a reflective mode. Like what did i achieve this year? how has my walk with the Lord grown? what does the Lord want me to achieve next year? so many questions and no answers LOL

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
Yes, as the title states ... May the Lord grant ah jia di and me lotsa strength, wisdom, joy and peace as we go about our working duties for the nights (and afternoons for ah jia di) for the next two weeks!!!
Like nee-chan reminded me, the power of choice!!! I shall look forward to the fellowships/concert, enjoy myself, be ministered to, and help towards creating an atmosphere for others to be touched and ministered to!! Amen :)
I really wonder what the Lord has in store for ah jia di and me... many questions run through my mind ... How much will our salaries increase after probation? How long does He want us to stay here? Where does He want us to move on to? When will our dream of a business come to fulfillment? ... As I do not have any answers to these questions yet, I have to continue seeking the Lord and trusting in His will.
I mean, the best thing to do in life is to live according to His will, because its the best for us! Sure, there will be trials and tests, but its for us to grow with Him ^_^ i definitely dun wanna make the mistake of deviating from His path!!
As the song "Oceans will part" by Hillsong says:
~ In my life ... Your will be done!! ~

Chibi Ryou!! XDDDDD
I was running late for work by a few minutes today ... so i practically zoomed to the maintenance lift which is much nearer to my office (and MUCH faster) ...
And i almost collided with a boy also waiting for the lift ... and to my surprise, he looked EXACTLY like chibi ryou-chan!!! I just couldn't stop staring at him XDDD whether from the side or front view, even his height and stature, really look EXACTLY like chibi ryou!! its like turning back the clock and seeing chibi ryou in real life LOL
when we entered the lift, i was hoping that he press the 8th level, which is where the Japanese school is... then i would immediately turn to him and say that he looks like Nishikido Ryou!!! XDDDDD zannen desu ga, he pressed the 9th level >_< *sigh*
Even though i'm not a diehard Ryou fan, i couldn't stop smiling as i left the lift ^_^

Who's that?
Konbachiwa!! Haha just trying to imitate Yamapi :P
Finished my work, but currently staying in office and surfing facebook. Because i am only meeting my girlfriends at 7pm! >_<
Anyway, really enjoyed the lunch with kuma yesterday! We went Hans cafe to eat the Beef Hor Fun. And surprisingly it was really really good!! especially with TONS of green chilli haha. i tried their sandwich and western food before, but i think the beef hor fun is da best!
Thought i would be alone for lunch again today and was even lamenting that i forgot to bring my storybook!! Then the Lord sent another colleague Zhen Hui to ask me go for lunch - and i never lunch with her before LOLz. In the end May joined us too! Then Elaiza joined us too!! We just left Victor to hold the fort hahahaha. Praise God for my colleagues ^_^
Anywayz, since tonight meeting my sista-besties, decided to wear my contacts and put on some makeup! Then usually office everyday i wear glasses, cause contacts the whole day + computer = super dry and tired eyes. So i brought my contacts and went to put them on at about 5plus coming to 6pm.
My colleague Elaiza lent me her mascara to put over mine, because mine is Hypercurl and hers is Lengthen! hahahaha the funny thing is when i went to return her the mascara and left, the finance manager Teddy turned to her and said "Who is that?" XDDDDD
Like hello, he makes me do work everyday lol. Elaiza called me to tell me that the mascara works because he couldn't recognize me LOL
Praise God for makeup that can enhance a woman's natural beauty ^_^

Then the Lord sent another colleague Zhen Hui to ask me go for lunch - and i never lunch with her before LOLz. In the end May joined us too! Then Elaiza joined us too!! We just left Victor to hold the fort hahahaha. Praise God for my colleagues ^_^
Anywayz, since tonight meeting my sista-besties, decided to wear my contacts and put on some makeup! Then usually office everyday i wear glasses, cause contacts the whole day + computer = super dry and tired eyes. So i brought my contacts and went to put them on at about 5plus coming to 6pm.
My colleague Elaiza lent me her mascara to put over mine, because mine is Hypercurl and hers is Lengthen! hahahaha the funny thing is when i went to return her the mascara and left, the finance manager Teddy turned to her and said "Who is that?" XDDDDD
Like hello, he makes me do work everyday lol. Elaiza called me to tell me that the mascara works because he couldn't recognize me LOL
Praise God for makeup that can enhance a woman's natural beauty ^_^

Meetups!
The Lord is so faithful. He knows i might feel a little lonely when my beloved sis is gone, so He sends many people to invite me out!! Me luv luv Jesus *hugz*
Sunday night went with my eldest aunt and dad to Lavender Food Square. I ate Big Prawn Mee, xiao long bao (or according to massu "shao long pao") and ice kachang woohoo!! Have not seen my kuma for such a long time, so it was good to catch up! And who says you can't eat in style on a budget? Singapore confirm can hahaha
Monday night met up with XQ and Ling for dinner. JS could not make it because she was down with fever!! The poor girl, heard that she was so busy that she doesn't even eat!! so naughty, i kindly reprimanded her through sms already to take good care of herself!! Health more important :)
Anyway, we went for some chicken with rice that wasn't very nice nor filling. So went to get one cup of "pao pao cha" (Pearl Milk tea) to share. Then we went to get one ice cream to share too! Really style on budget haha
Tuesday lunch i was thinking bleah, have to go by myself again... Then my colleague Elaiza suddenly impromptu ask me to go with her for lunch! It was nice to get to know her better, we chatted lotz!
Tonight going to grandma's place :) Then tomorrow my kuma will come have lunch with me after her exercise class! :)
Then fri night meeting up with ling, xq and js again!! hahaha i think we miss each other too much. And also JS leaving for NZ next week awwwwww. So we will be bingeing on a budget again, at old airport road! Then it will be off to XQ's place for a long awaited sleepover again!! Ling most prob wants Xq's sis to paint her toenails the poor girl hahahahaha XDDDD
Next week will be meeting with val for dinner too! Then after sending JS off at the airport on thurs, will be going with ling n xq to popeyes for dinner ... before picking my sis up an hour plus later at the airport LOL
One verse that really rings so true to me right now is Romans 8:28!!
~And we know that all things work together for good, to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose ~ Amen!!!!
I had a dream last night, i was waiting ... And a double decked bus came with the number 25 ... what on earth does it mean? or maybe i have been taking too much transportation recently LOL

Naughty Boy
LOL was just thinking of what to type in this next entry ...
When a naughty boy walked by ...
But he didn't just walk by normally... He was dragging along a yellow sign almost the same size as him!
You know those yellow signs that the cleaners place outside the toilet - "Caution! Wet Floor" with the image of a man falling down LOL
He placed it outside my unit, then he started knocking intermittently on my glass door!
I always find children cute, but this boy just got on my nerves when he kept knocking louder and louder each time.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and went out to tell him (nicely) to stop.
At first I thought it was one of the Japanese boys from the Japanese school in the unit next door, because they do knock on my door sometimes ... and I was even preparing my Japanese "speech" LOL
But, apparently the boy's parents were actually visiting the TCM clinic next door, so I spoke to him in english LOL. His dad was on the phone and apologized profusely as I replaced the offensive yellow sign LOL
As I left, he started scolding his son "See! how embarrassing!" XDDDD then after that repeated the whole story to his mum and grandmother when they came out of the clinic. LOL!
I have always thought the wise King Solomon was indeed wise when he wrote "Spare the rod and spoil the child"!!! BUT, never use your hand, use an instrument (like a cane), because our hands are supposed to bless others, create good work, or placed on others for to pray for healing :)

The influence of Johnnys
Whilst I was having lunch with my sis just now ...
Sis spotted a double decked SBS bus outside the Park Mall bus stop.
And guess what advertisement was plastered all over the bus?
Matsumoto Jun in blown up proportions, advertising for Fasio mascara LOL
Seriously dun understand why only Japanese guys advertise for women's products LOL
We found his hairstyle horrendous though, sis said that it looks like they twirled the mascara through his hair instead HAHAHAHAHA XDDDDDD
But it just goes to show how far the arm of Johnnys Entertainment can go!! All the way to Singapore!!
Last time the only form of Johnnys advertisements i've seen in Singapore is Kimura Takuya in Gatsby >_< Now we have Matsumoto Jun!!
Can't wait for AT LEAST Yamapi to be blown to huge proportions and plastered on buses HAHAHA somebody please contact Toshiba or Namacha (Yamapi's endorsements) to discuss with SBS Transit!! Wahaha
Soon we will have SMRT advertising the next TegoMass album and their upcoming concert to Singapore!! YES, I see it, I see it XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Imagination
Your imagination is important!
If you keep imagining the bad stuff and have lotsa negative thoughts of your future, it WILL affect your future!!
So imagine the good stuff and think positive. Even imagine the far-fetched goodness, because our God is a God of miracles, wonders and the impossible!
Because what is "imagining" the good stuff?? It is FAITH.
"For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen"

3) Computer
4) Fans/Aircons
5) Lights
6) Gas Stove
7) Fridge
8) Water Supply
9) Toilets

I found a job!
Praise the Lord!
I FINALLY found a job! :)
Deals with basically administration and events.
I will be starting work on Monday, quite looking forward to it!
I want to be like the tree mentioned in Jeremiah ...
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."
~ Jeremiah 17: 7-8 ~
Ganbatte!!!!!!!!!

Glossy dark brown
I dyed my hair!
Used the Liese bubble dye product thingy.
Bought it from NTUC at less than $20.
Its quite easy to use. Just like shampooing your hair with lotsa foam.
I quite like the result. Its not too obvious, but yet still can see ^_^

Well, feeling quite tired from vacuuming and mopping the floor. Usually I'm quite fine, but today was extra work because I had to vigorously scrub away the paint stains and brown sticky stains off the white floors!!! >_<
Anyway, here are some new recipe photos!!
Herbal Chicken with Sliced Button Mushrooms, Carrots and Szechuan Veggie!
Sliced Beef with Egg Tofu, Sliced Button Mushrooms and Szechuan Veggie!
No baking needed Oreo crumbs crust, Peanut butter filling and Chocolate topping that I attempted with sis!!

I. CAN'T. BREATHE.
Dun worry peeps, i'm still alive and kicking haha XD
Just that we are doing some mini renovations at our house. Basically just changing 6 of our super old everytimeyouopenorclosepaintwillfalloff doors. That was yesterday. Today is the painting of the new doors.
So i'm dying from the paint fumes. What happened to the sumo wrestler odourless paint advertisement on tv!?!?
Anyway, i enjoyed cooking lunch yesterday. Tried the herbal chicken for the first time. I used drums/wings, sliced button mushrooms and carrots, and some szechuan veggie. Steamed it for like almost 3 hours!! But praise the Lord it turned out so well!! The meat was like practically falling off the bones haha. Couldn't stop drinking the soup *yumz yumz* ^_^
I just want to say praise the Lord for creating something called food for us, His beloved, to enjoy!! And also need to thank the Lord that even though i'm like choking from the paint fumes, at least I have a sense of smell!!

You know better than I
I have finally attempted the Japanese Hayashi Rice recipe!! It turned out to be quite easy to cook, and really really really delicious!! *YUMZ YUMZ*
Here's a pic of it for ya to drool over ;)
Enjoyed the sisters' outing with ah jia di yesterday :) it's been awhile since we had some sisters' bonding *huggiez*
This song was stuck in my head in the wee hours this morning. Really thank the Lord for reminding me of it. Gave me lotsa peace because its totally what I'm thinking and going through right now! I love Jesus ^_^
"YOU KNOW BETTER THAN I" - BOBBY MICHAELS
I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don't know is part of getting through
I tried to do what's best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is to put my trust in You.
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You that taught that bird to fly
If I let You reach me
Will You teach me
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers You supply
You know better than I

I wonder what's in store for me :)
Well life recently has gotten a bit boring for me haha... But i can't wait for the job that the Lord has in store for me! I need to learn to be patient and not fret, and not jump into ANY job like I did previously LOL.
A day in my life ...
Wake up late, wash up/bathe (if i am not swimming) ...
Prepare some kind of sandwich or toast for lunch *yumz*
Do housework that needs to be done for the day - can be washing/hanging clothes, vacuum/mop, cleaning, clearing/ironing clothes etc etc
Applying for jobs ...
Then start doing something I like - altering my clothes, sewing, reading a book, surfing the net for NEWS videos on Youtube XDDD, watching Jdramas XDDD
Then I'll feel guilty for lazing around - so either I'll swim, run or take a walk!
Soon it will be dinner at ah ma house ... Bon Voyage kaka! although i think by now he reached already haha
Then more lazing around back home before turning in for the night close to midnight ... Read/study the bible, pray lotz lotz, pray in tongues lotz lotz, stay quiet before the Lord ...
zzzzzzzzzzz

NEWS Sakura Girl PV is out!!!
LOL i found the breakup scenes quite funny actually. i think only Tegoshi's one really made me feel sad ... cause of his tears i guess haha. Massu's, Shige's and Koyama's only made me go "Awwww", Yamapi's made me feel 不服气 for him, and Ryo's one made me go 「きた、きた！」, then LOL.
Anyway, here are the correct kanji lyrics taken from their Music Station performance! My previous attempt really fail, but i went back to correct it already :)

You were like a cherry blossom
Our romance was like spring

That breeze takes it away

We just said some random lines of dialog

I didn't know that so i guess there was nothing I could do

Interview ...
went for interview just now at a recruitment agency ... praying the the Lord opens doors! Good boss, good colleagues, good location, good pay, good office hours and good job satisfaction!! AMEN! i receive it! haha
anyway, just saw a promo pic in facebook in taken from some magazine in Japan. I think its super funny that the taiwan drama (by Jerry & Ella) is called 就想賴著妳 (Just want to rely on you) in Mandarin, Down with Love in English and 君には絶対恋してない in Japanese!! XDDD haha they are all like totally different meaning can!! but i like the Japanese one the best haha! because it really fits the whole meaning of the show ^_^
Apparently Jerry is quite popular in Japan - i mean hello, he is good looking. And i searched the title in Japanese, and the people are going crazy over his new show. So i wonder whether they are gonna dub over in Japanese?? haha that would be dang cool.

I love my sistas :)
Met up for dinner with ling, js and xq on tuesday night :)
We had a great time eating and talking non stop! And when i mean non stop, it also includes the eating part hahahaha. First we ate our starters and main course at Lenas in Bugis - tomato bruchetta, deep fried mussels n prawns with lime sauce, baked cream mushroom spaghetti, pepperoni pizza and iced mint lemon tea!
Then we headed to Sapores Italiano and ate some Bailey's ice cream concoction. Cheat our feelings! it was SUCH a small cup at $16 - because of the Bailey's we guessed. But next time we are ordering the $18 overflowing towering inferno of chocolate/hazelnut ice cream with fruits!!! >_<
We still decided that we were not full, so we headed to Mac for two packets of large fries and one large green tea to share. I think around that time then we felt quite full and satisfied wahaha! It was a great time of chatting and sharing of our lives throughout the whole process too :)
Then ling left us cause she had something on the next day *sobz*
Then xq's sister joined us for some karaoke at Katong!! We sang from 10pm to 1am non stop LOL. it was a fun and high time singing our hearts out!! Although js didn't manage to sing her 本来 oops!! We didn't even get to sing FIR or S.H.E. songs sobz sobz!!
Then xq's bf came to pick us up and we drove to bukit timah for some lovely supper!! There was prata, murtabak, naan bread and tissue YUMZ YUMZ DROOLZ
FINALLY, we headed to xq's house to sleep - where there was a short reprimand from xq's mum, who apparently set a new curfew at 12 midnight for them oops >_< ... then instead of sleeping - it was like about what, 3 am?? We ended up talking and talking hahaha. of course xq ended up sleeping first as usual hahaha.
The next day, i went home like half blind because i wore my daily contacts the previous day. And i didn't bring my glasses along because i didn't predict we were staying over hahaha. It was a funny experience when everything was a blur hahaha! If i had ignored some people that i know i also dunno wahaha! Good thing xq dropped me off at the mrt, cause if take bus not very sure whether i take the correct bus or stop correctly haha. Mrt got the person announcing the stations WAHAHA!! really blind bat - then dad picked me up from Simei haha.
All in all it was a great meaningful time spend with the girl friends whom i treasure so much :) ^_^ XD
And another good news that i found out yesterday is that Massu scraped his mop of a hair and changed it back to his previous hairstyle!! Cause he appeared in some variety show called telephone shocking i think, and it was on 2nd March wahaha.

NEW - Sakura Girl
Ahhhhhh!! I listened to the full preview of Sakura Girl by NEWS and it was AWESOME!!
It is officially my most favourite single out of all the NEWS singles!! And THAT'S saying something!! Because I really like their other singles too ... so i guess you can say its my favouritest of the favourites!! HAHA XD
The song itself is very catchy, upbeat and also with a nice piano introduction and great melody!! Love the numerous falsettos wahaha! And i must agree with what others say - NEWS singing has improved! They sound much better together as a group :) TegoMass of course has improved by leaps and bounds and are the best singers LOL ... But i would have to say that some of the other members really still cannot sing >_<
Anyway, the lyrics that i can find online are all in romaji ... of course if i search in Japanese sure have a lot of sites with kanji lyrics. But must practice my Japanese and try to improve with the help of Denshi Jisho! XDD So those that i am not sure i just leave it in hiragana *grinz*. Also please tell me if i made any mistakes and i will correct them asap!! Thank you!!! ^_^
Here's my attempt ...

*faints from exhaustion* WHEW!!
Enjoy the new NEWS single everyone!! Coming out 31 March 2010!! YEAH!!
Can't wait to see the PV too!! ＾＿＾
It is officially my most favourite single out of all the NEWS singles!! And THAT'S saying something!! Because I really like their other singles too ... so i guess you can say its my favouritest of the favourites!! HAHA XD
The song itself is very catchy, upbeat and also with a nice piano introduction and great melody!! Love the numerous falsettos wahaha! And i must agree with what others say - NEWS singing has improved! They sound much better together as a group :) TegoMass of course has improved by leaps and bounds and are the best singers LOL ... But i would have to say that some of the other members really still cannot sing >_<
Anyway, the lyrics that i can find online are all in romaji ... of course if i search in Japanese sure have a lot of sites with kanji lyrics. But must practice my Japanese and try to improve with the help of Denshi Jisho! XDD So those that i am not sure i just leave it in hiragana *grinz*. Also please tell me if i made any mistakes and i will correct them asap!! Thank you!!! ^_^
Here's my attempt ...

NATAS Fair Feb 2010
Thanks to cell group member dear Inez - i managed to enter the NATAS fair free of charge!!! wahaha! the queue was horrendous. Apparently, Inez said they were queuing since 9am >_< And i just waltzed through the entrance doors with a skip and a jump! PTL!
Anyway, Inez directed me through my hp STRAIGHT to the Yokoso! Japan booth which could be found right next to the entrance. As she would be joining me later, i just wondered around aimlessly looking at the STACKS of brochures they have and the lovely photos on their display boards :) i went in from the right, which was the osaka kansai region, then there was the hokkaido region etc etc
Then i saw some Tokyo brochures, so i headed in that direction to get more information for my trip in October! Then this funny cute Japanese guy approached me with tour brochures to the Kanto region, telling me that if i book today i will get good discounts!! haha i proceeded to ask him if he has any information on Hakone, because Hakone information from the web is not enough. So he went "Ah! Hakone! Wait wait" (in cute Japanese english accent) then went off to hantam his colleagues in rapid Japanese if they have Hakone information. LOL
So one cute young Japanese guy saw his chance and approached me to fill in a survey about Japan, promising free souvenirs LOL. I dun really go for such stuff but since he was so earnest (and cute), i took the clipboard and proceeded to fill in the survey >_< ... in the meantime some singaporean aunties started harassing the poor guy on why this souvenir pen no ink, why this why that. but he was so nice to them about it God bless him.
Then i realised it was a TWO page survey! I had a hard time trying to turn the page on the clipboard because of my Tokyo brochures, handbag etc. Then the nice guy realised he forgot to tell me that there were 2 pages and hurriedly took my stuff from me - so gentlemanly God bless his heart ^_^
So after breezing through the survey, he proceeded to show me the whole array of souvenirs that i can take - and he said "Choose two, choose two" (in cute Japanese english accent which i realise i have a fetish for XDDDD). I saw two little purple shell handphone chains so i just shyly said "Ah, these two, thank you *smile*". And he was a little taken aback that i was not the typical singaporean who would plough through the souvenirs LOL!! then he kept thanking me and bowing like i did him a HUGE favour for not being kiasu about the souvenirs and for doing a multiple choice survey o.O
In the meantime, the previous guy came back with a whole bunch of pamphlets and brochures with him. He proceeded to take all my stuff from the other guy to place it in this cute green plastic bag with a adorable cartoon horse on it LOL. While he was telling me he found the Hakone stuff and proceeded to place them into the bag, Inez called me! I quickly thanked him and picked up my phone. Inez asked me where i was - i said "ah i am at the yokoso japan booth". She was like "eh? i'm here too, but i dun see you" LOL. Then i was ilke "oh! i'm at the Kanto region" - here's when the helpful Japanese man who was busy stuffing my stuff into the bag, literally paused, looked at me, nodded and smiled at me and to himself like i just recited a whole essay in Japanese XDDDDD
So when Inez finally found me, he was very friendly and warm - asking "is this your friend?" and then proceeded to bombard Inez with more brochures and pamphlets. i tell you i have never seen someone who wants others to visit his country so much! After we left the Yokoso Japan booth, Inez gave me a tour of the whole NATAS fair, whilst searching for Japanese Tourism Board for info on the Japan Rail Pass. But sadly, we walked one round and couldn't find it!! So i suggested why don't we ask the Yokoso people, i mean should be their なかま right? LOL
So we went back and Inez asked the first guy at the Kanto booth:
Inez: "Excuse me ..."
Guy at booth: "Hai!!" (XDDD)
Inez: "Do you know where is the JTB booth?"
Guy at booth: "JTB, JTB ... chottomatte kudasai" (Dawn luvs this XDD)
Guy at booth (lets call him 1) turns to two other guys at booth:
Guy 1: "JTB はどこか？"
Guy 2: "え？JTB, JTB..."
Guy 3: "あ！JTB ..."
Guy 2: "JTB 入ってるか？"
Guy 3: "入って..入ってない、入ってない"
(Inez - *staring blankly* ???)
Dawn to Inez: "Oh don't have don't have"
All three guys turn to look at us in shock (HAHA XDDD)
So they proceeded to ask us what we were looking for because maybe they can help! So Inez said Japan Rail Pass. But they did not understand - so they hurriedly waved over a colleague who understood English and we said Japan Rail Pass again. She went "Oh!! JR Pass" and the three Japanese guys went "おお！JR パス" (Dawn XDDDD). So a helpful Japanese lady gave us some pamphlets on JR Pass. But she was advising us to only get it if we are traveling around Japan on 新幹線 shinkansen, if not it is not worth it. So we were asking her what about to Hakone? Then she told us just take the normal train from 新宿 Shinjuku station via the 小田急線 Odakyu Line to 小田原 Odawara Station. Inez and Dawn - O.O "Ohhhh".
Then one guy (he is singaporean) asked:
"JR パスはほうがいいですか？"
and the lady went
"いいえ、そんなじゃありません。JR パスは高いです。"
Dawn to Inez: "ohhh we just take the normal train lor. Very expensive leh!" *stares at the ridiculous rates*
Japanese lady: "Yes! it is very expensive!" *nods vehemently*
Then the Singaporean guy suggested that we take the day tours to Hakone, because he say if you do not speak a little Japanese, it will be hard if we go there ourselves. I just humbly nodded and decided not to say anything LOL XDD
So after thanking them furiously for their help, we were about to officially leave the Yokoso booth when i saw that they were giving out free premium green tea for people to try!! *glint in dawn's eyes* so i told Inez *glint in inez's eyes* and Inez went to ask them and they said to wait 10 minutes (whilst bowing and apologizing) cause its still brewing haha XD. So we hung around the booth - got Tokyo Disneyland brochures and info, walked around, resulting in more Japanese people pouncing on us to try the Kansai region which Inez said she has already been to.
So this funny Japanese guy introduced us to the Lake Biwa region - claiming that the lake is the same size as Singapore, pointing to the east saying "this will be changi airport" and to the west "and this will be tuas" and to the south centre "and this is orchard road!!" *grins* Inez and Dawn "BUAHAHAHAHA". He also claims "No tourists there!" and Inez played along saying "oh! so we will be the first Singaporeans there if we go?" - Japanese guy "Yes Yes!" *nods vehemently* BUAHAHAHA XDD
Later this lady approached us with our tea and APOLOGIZED for letting us wait >_< OMG i felt so bad LOL. She also proceeded to tell us that this is the number one tea in Japan, from the prefecture called Shizuoka and also told us about green tea's health properties. So we took a sip of it - OMG it was so fragrant, yet clear, not strong, yet not too light ... it was like drinking fresh spring water with green tea taste XDDDDDDDD. Inez and i could not stop gushing over it LOL.
So finally we reluctantly left the booth and had a hard time finding the exit because it was located WAY over the other side >_<
Thank you Jesus for this lovely experience at the NATAS fair! I love Japan! I love Japanese people! God please hurry up save them!!
Anyway, Inez directed me through my hp STRAIGHT to the Yokoso! Japan booth which could be found right next to the entrance.

MDIS sistas outing!
Ahhhh! today was a good day! :)
Met up with Pearlin and Melissa at The Big O Cafe at Wheelock Place for lunch first - Melissa n I had fish and Pearlin had pasta :)
Then we walked around ION first because Pearlin wanted to get her LG Lollipop handphone that Melissa already got haha. But to no avail, because her phone plans haven expire yet and in the end she decided that an upgrade to a Lollipop hp is not worth it hahaha. So since we were at the ION, we went to Topshop to pay Nicole a visit :)
After that, we walked alot around Orchard Road ... sightseeing at the superexpensiveonlyrichpeoplewillshop Mandarin Gallery, which had some nice stuff (that only can look), Japanese Tourism Board and comfy sofas haha.
Then we went to Cineleisure to take neoprints!! haha its been such a LONG time since i last took neoprints hehe. But this neoprint machine was so super stressful! The screen changed so quickly!! Melissa and I fumbled through with our mediocre Japanese and somehow managed to end up at the taking photos stage LOL. THEN! the photos were taken in like 3 seconds, so we had to rush like crazy to change places or think of poses! >_<
After that, we were unsure of what we wanted to do next ... First we went upstairs to the cinema to see if there were any movies worth watching at a suitable time, apparently not. Then we went up again to the arcade area to see if there were any DVDS worth renting a room to watch, apparently not. So we went one floor down to KBOX to check out if the karaoke rates were affordable, apparently not!
So we ended up walking to 313 Somerset Mall to check things out! Nothing much there too, so we decided to rest at Blue Mountain Cafe and have a drink :)
As it was getting late, we walked to Pearlin's bakery to collect her cakes then she gave us a lift home!! :)
Good day of fun and lotsa chatting!! Thank You Jesus! :)

探しましょう!
I had a good run yesterday :) Although my thigh muscles hurt a little, a bit stiff today haha! Have not been running seriously since ... hmmm ... i dun even remember!! hahaha!
But it felt really good! Like Tegoshi says 「ああ、いい汗出た！」, makes me feel really healthy LOL but the bad side is that i totally forgot the feeling when your lungs and chest totally hurt from lack of air! And then you need to take deep gulps of air to feel better muahaha. i shall work on it ... がんばります！
Its sad that we live in such a society that we need to go out and work. If i had lived during the prairie times maybe, i would just be contented to stay at home with my small vegetable garden, do sewing, clean the house, cook, visit the neighbours etc haha. BUT in this century we need to go out and work to earn money!! Not how to survive!?!
Yet i am at the crossroads, the same position the Melissa is in now. We just dun feel like dressing up in office wear to go for interviews after interviews again. And the thing is we dun even know WHAT we want to do, so interview what?? We both know we want to start our own business in the future. But in the meantime, what has the Lord in store for us?
So this is a period of waiting and seeking the Lord. Knowing myself, i am patient with people but very impatient for things to happen in my own life haha. So i really need to sit at the Lord's feet to find out what He wants me to do for the year 2010. And for the years to come ... 探しましょう！

Exercise is good for health!!
After attempting to run the day before yesterday, i feel like running again today! All thanks to Soukon! HAHAHA XD
Massu, Tegoshi, Koyama and Shige made me interested in running haha. They just made it seem so easy and yet so fun LOL. And somehow after watching Soukon, i realised what i like about running is that there is a starting point and a goal.
Now that i'm searching for my goal in life, i feel that running is a good practice for me! My favourite sport is swimming though, i LOVE swimming. But swimming alone, going back and forth in laps with just the sound of water around you can get quite boring ...
But with running, i can plug in my ipod and listen to wonderful worship songs or the angelic voices of TegoMass hahaha. AND!! I must set a goal and aim to finish my running course ;)
However, i solemnly know my limits and would NEVER attempt Soukon goals. Like the 10km in less than one hour. crazy celebrities tsk tsk. I'd probably take the whole day to run 10km - with rests, drinks and eating time in between wahahaha! Hmmm but i could probably attempt the Soukon 21m sprint WAHAHA!
" But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
- Isaiah 40:31 -

Recipes ...
It is the 3rd day of CNY!! Blessed Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone again!!!
Anyway, i have to start getting ready my flea market stock to sell! Mel and I would most probably be doing the one in March. Oops! by Mel i mean Melissa hahahaha.
And also, I would like to start trying some yummy wummy recipes by Jamie Oliver or Nigella Lawson!! And no, i would not be doing the Julie & Julia type of blog haha. Just try some recipes that interest me at my own pace and at my own time.
Most of the really delicious looking and sounding recipes needs an oven!! BAH those recipes would have to wait till i'm married and i have my own oven at home LOL
In the meantime, keeping myself healthy even though its slacking period, for the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! Did some running just now, feels real good to perspire and for the heart to beat fast ... spurred on by watching too much Soukon HAHAHA, later probably go for a nice swim once the sun is down :)
Today is the last day of the long sprint of public holidays ... so everyone enjoy yourself to the fullest, for its back to work or school tomorrow for most peeps!!
Verse of the day:
"Commit thy plans to the Lord, and your work will succeed." Proverbs 16:3 :)
Anyway, i have to start getting ready my flea market stock to sell! Mel and I would most probably be doing the one in March. Oops! by Mel i mean Melissa hahahaha.
And also, I would like to start trying some yummy wummy recipes by Jamie Oliver or Nigella Lawson!! And no, i would not be doing the Julie & Julia type of blog haha. Just try some recipes that interest me at my own pace and at my own time.
Most of the really delicious looking and sounding recipes needs an oven!! BAH those recipes would have to wait till i'm married and i have my own oven at home LOL
In the meantime, keeping myself healthy even though its slacking period, for the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! Did some running just now, feels real good to perspire and for the heart to beat fast ... spurred on by watching too much Soukon HAHAHA, later probably go for a nice swim once the sun is down :)
Today is the last day of the long sprint of public holidays ... so everyone enjoy yourself to the fullest, for its back to work or school tomorrow for most peeps!!

5 more working days!!!
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When sorrow walked with me.
-Robert Browning Hamilton
How true ...

9.5 more working days
I think it would be quite fun if i started counting down through my blog hahaha, gives me some kind of motivation LOL
Today was another eventful day ... by eventful - i was leaning towards the negative perspective ... seriously Singaporeans need to be educated again with that orange courtesy lion. EVERY day sure got not only one, but MANY people who either yell or shout, or be sarcastic, or scold you and the company, use vulgarities etc etc.
Dun treat call centre agents like that lah, its their job to listen to your problems yes, but they are there to help you! Angry at them for what?!? Its always the company that they are working for that sucks, with no proper processes and procedures, where nobody knows what they are doing, and most of the time work is not done. THAT'S why you have a problem and you give us a call.
Sheesh ... sometimes some of my colleagues become very fierce to customers or even turn into gangster-like mode hahahaha. i really thank the Lord for always being there with me at my work. Standing beside me and giving me the strength, lifting my burden and anger, and giving me lots of self control and patience :)
So its another day down and 9.5 more working days to go!! In the meantime i need to seek the Lord to find out what He wants me to do ... That's my current goal!!

Once the cell group chinese new year celebration dinner on 12 Feb arrives, I am OFFICIALLY free from my bondage!! I will seriously be super happy at that dinner haha. On that day, I will belt out the song - "My chains are gone, I've been set free! My God my Saviour, has ransomed me! And like a flood, His mercy rains. Unending love, amazing grace!"
Then I can really honestly enjoy my Chinese New Year with a light heart and joyful spirit :)
Then I need to seek the Lord!! For as Pastor Rony told Pastor Pacer and Tracey regarding their lives calling - "Find out what the Lord wants you to do and DO IT!"

Bondage
Three more weeks till I can be set free from this...
I should not have just jumped in at the first opportunity, blinded by my excitement because it was the best offered so far. Even when I read the contract, the terms were so obviously unfair, but I just happily signed it anyway...
But I do thank the Lord for this opportunity. At least I made some good friends through my colleagues and I learnt many things from this job. And also I could earn money for the past 3 months :)
I learnt my lesson, to wait on the Lord - for what He has prepared for me are plans that will prosper me, not to harm me, to give me hope and a future...
And everyone now advises me NOT to sign any bond with a company, which I SOOOOOoooo totally, heartily, vehemently agree. And I need to find out what I like doing, somewhere that I can excel using my talents and enjoy it. While searching, I will attempt the flea market with Melissa which seems like real fun, and take up temp jobs here and there to earn money.
The Lord said He would show me what He wants me to do, so in the meantime I need to pray lotz and really seek Him. For seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you!!
I pray that the 3 weeks past by REAL fast and that I come out of this depressing unhappy self. For the joy of the Lord is my strength!!

James 1:2-6; 13
Recently, I have been going through a trying time because of work and I have been really studying the Word of God to gain more insight and to know the mind of God.
Of course the verse that currently applies to me most is James 1:2-4. But when I went to read it again, I noticed that we should actually continue reading James 1:5-6 and verse 13 too.
The one that I find most difficult is the first part, where we have to "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds" - which is terribly difficult and almost impossible when you are feeling down, or basically not happy at all. Its funny because I have been through stuff in my life that made me really sad, that I told myself next time I will never ever feel like that again. But yet when trial comes, you just can't help it LOL. How do you have pure joy??
Then you read on and it says why, "because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." - which is very true, because after every trial in life I find that my faith has increased. Whether a little, or alot it does not matter. And I do find that yes, after persevering with God throughout the trial, I find myself a better and more mature person.
But it doesn't end at verse 4! The answer to how I can get pure joy and perseverance is in the next two verses. It says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." - Now isn't that obvious? Its just that we keep relying on our own strength! We need to rely on God, ask for His wisdom to pull through our trials and obtain the pure joy from Him!
Dun just ask blindly though! Because it says, "But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." - So dun just ask for fun, I need to seriously believe it from the bottom of my heart. Not easy *sniff*
And then finally, in verse 13 it says "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." - Now how cool is THAT!! God has already promised me the crown of life!! So whats that mere 3 weeks and 1.5 days more!?!? Its as small as a mustard seed!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

The Touch of the Master's Hand
'Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer
Thought it was scarcely worth his while
To waste much time on the old violin
But held it up with a smile.
"What am I bidden, good folks," he cried,
"Who'll start the bidding for me?
"A dollar, a dollar," then, two! Only two?
"Two dollars,and who'll make it three?"
"Three dollars, once, three dollars, twice;
Going for three..."
But no,
From the room, far back, a grey-haired man
Came forward and picked up the bow;
Then, wiping the dust from the old violin,
And tightening the loose strings,
He played a melody pure and sweet
As a caroling angel sings.
The music ceased, and the auctioneer,
With a voice that was quiet and low,
Said:"What am I bid for the old violin?"
And he held it up with the bow.
"A thousand dollars, and who'll make it two?
"Two thousand! And who'll make it three?"
Three thousand, once, three thousand, twice;
And going and gone," said he.
The people cheered, but some of them cried,
"We do not quite understand
What changes its worth?" Swift came the reply:
"The touch of the master's hand."
And many a man with life out of tune,
And battered and scarred with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd,
Much like the old violin.
A "mess of potage," a glass of wine;
A game--and he travels on.
He is "going" once, and "going" twice,
He's "going" and almost "gone."
But the Master comes and the foolish crowd
Never can quite understand
The worth of a soul and the change that's wrought
By the touch of the Master's hand.

Appearing on TV or the net?
Today my trainer/team leader "sabo" me to appear on Razor tv which would be shown this thursday on the internet!! AHHHHHH!
I was so shocked when he told me to prepare myself. Good thing i wore a nice top today, but I didn't put any make up!! They just filmed me doing my work and answering the calls. But I hope the cameraman filmed me real nice because he moved the camera too close for comfort!! And HELLO, I do not have Tegoshi's complexion LOL we shall see if I even appear haha
Oh well, like my sis says, praise the Lord! I was also thanking the Lord at that time, cause His favour is upon me :)
And my ticket has been approved!! Praise the Lord!! At first there was some problems with the redemption, but I prayed real hard and the Lord approved it for me! YAY!!
Ok better go rest for another day's work tomorrow!
Was complaining to the Lord that I am working for nothing, then I just flipped my Bible opened to start my quiet time ... And VOILA!! The Lord led me to this verse!
Isaiah 49:4
I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God.
How awesome is our God!!
