It is time ...

As the last 6 months of my teen life come to a close, all the looming independence and responsibilities surface ...

Ok that sounded depressing haha! Well it actually means I will turn two decades this June and adulthood is approaching ... like hot on my heels! Time to get job, be independent in every aspect and think wisely ...

I went for a job interview on Tuesday regarding the upcoming Singapore Airshow in February and praise the Lord I got the job! After a half an hour stressful interview haha but I'm glad I got the job ... it would be a really good exposure and experience for me.

It would be my first job in Singapore and it is related to my course of events management too! I would be one of the exhibitor personnel and its of course everything to do with customer service ... So my past hospitality work experience at a hotel and restaurant really helped. Its gonna be really professional, like all blazers-formal blouses-pants kinda professional haha.

Yea so anyway ... it is time for me to venture out into the working world, in Singapore that is ... I hope I would be able to work part time together with my schooling for this year. So i can earn money for the Thailand trip with Mel and friends, Taiwan trip with Melissa, Pearlin, Michelle, UK/France/Jersey trip for Sumei's wedding and finally Canada trip by myself to visit friends and family. As you can see ... most of my hard work and money will be flying away through this channel haha!

But anyway, still young! must travel and see the world! Even if i work part time and use my money on this i am perfectly alright with it. But of course must still save. Travel people! cause next time married have kids or work full time very hard to travel! Woohoo!

New Year Resolutions ...

Hey people!!

Pray tell, what are all your new year resolutions? I have heard from some of you all and they are really inspiring!!

I pray that everyone gets to fulfill their resolutions! Determination and Perseverance is the key people!

Praise the Lord! I received another exemption for a course in my module! Which is a course i am taking this semester regarding Conventions. There is a 3000 words proposal, a presentation which has to be video taped with no errors and a 35% exam at the end! So I really thank the Lord that I have this big burden of my shoulders! *whew*

Well ... I have only 2 courses this semester, followed by another two next semester, and just one the next next semester. So now i am looking and praying for a part time job. Pray with me k!!

Today's message by pastor is about Eternity!! Always keep your eyes on eternity and look towards the Rapture! *sighs happily* this thought always lifts my spirit up *dances around* 1 Corinthians 15 : 50-58!!

Last day of 2007 ...

First off ...



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIA SHIN!!!



Hope you enjoyed the sleepover and you like the presents! Enjoy yourself today! God bless!



It is officially the last day of the wonderful year of 2007 ... Any thoughts? feelings?



Tonight will be going for the Watchnight Service at LET. So cool! I never countdown in church before ... which apparently Yiling says is something she does every year haha. Really looking forward to it! *bounce bounce*



Weeellll ... usually today is a time of reflection over the past year. All the ups and downs. The problems and the blessings. And how the Lord has never left my side and helped me through! And of course ... the resolutions for the upcoming new year 2008. Things in your life that you want to change and you CAN change lol.



From my pastor's message ... "As far as your life is concerned, God has made you responsible for its welfare and fruitfulness. In His Word, He has already promised to bless you. So to a LARGE degree, you will have to decide how you want to fare this coming year."



"If you keep doing what you have been doing for years, you will always get what you have been getting all along."



"If you desire for a mroe meaningful and fulfilled new year, some changes in your life must be made."

Always remember: "CHARACTER, COMPETENCE & CONSISTENCY"


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (in advance teehee)

Christmas ...

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late!

Yuppers! thats the chipmunk song from the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks haha! I love it even though listen long already it gets irritating i admit LOL.

Christmas ... Christmas ... today at the speedlight Christmasie, Pastor Pacer asked the question "What does Christmas mean to you?" and then there was a short video asking ppl this question on Orchard road. But if you stop to think ... what does Christmas mean to you?

Of course the main reason is Jesus Christ, to celebrate his birth and the gift of salvation!

But if you think about your current life and the world as it is now ... What does Christmas really mean to you? Is it the gifts? the gatherings? the food? the decorations? the events? family? friends? shopping?

All these play a part of Christmas in our lives ... But they should not be what Christmas actually means ...

The meaning of Christmas is giving
A heart that is loving, forgiving
The meaning of Christmas is living in gladness
The meaning of Christmas is You

The joy of the season is making
A heart of deep sorrow, rejoicing
The meaning of Christmas is knowing God's goodness
The meaning of Christmas is You

Christmas tree and santa claus and jingle bells
They are only incidental things
God has given me His very best as you can tell
And what about the joy His precious love can bring

The meaning of Christmas is loving
A heart without hating or striving
The meaning of Christmas
Dispelling the darkness
The meaning of Christmas is You!!

My Sweet Jesus ...

You redeemed my life from the pit
Brought me from darkness into light
I have never been alone
And You will be with me always

I have found meaning in my life
A new purpose that leads to You
Your unfailing love surrounds me
Now I will sing to You always

Chorus:
My Lord and my Saviour
My Friend and my King
The Awesome and Holy One
My Sweet Jesus

Bridge:
His Words never fails
He is faithful and true
Look to His coming
And run to His open arms

My first attempt. Always wanted to try writing one ... And since the Lord put it in my spirit to try writing one, why not write about Him! He is my song after all :)
Anywayz ... Not fantastic I know haha! Any suggestions for improvement and constructive criticism will be humbly accepted!
But I really enjoyed it because the Lord kept suggesting phrases here and there while I was writing it. Felt really close to Him! So I'll keep writing!
Hopefully next time someone can help me put a tune in so I can sing it haha!
