Food Hotel Asia

Went to the Food Hotel Asia 2008 at Expo today! It was really nice of Pearlin's chef to give Pearlin some tickets and really kind of Pearlin to give us the tickets too! One ticket costs $80!!! *faints*

Anyway, i enjoyed myself at the exhibition :)

First, we went to the BEAUTIFUL cakes decor competition. And it was REALLy beautiful! Everything was so pretty, with different designs! And get this, everything ... i mean EVERYTHING ... is totally edible. *GASP!!*

Next, we all had lunch with Pearlin's chef and her colleague. Us meaning Kezia, Mark, Pearlin, Melissa and I haha! We ate at a quaint little la mian cafe with super diluted drinks haha.

Then Melissa, Kezia and I headed to the different halls to look around. I sampled the roast beef, which was cooked perfectly and it just melted in my mouth *gaaaaaah* Melissa tried the teriyaki chicken at the Japan counter which she said was a little salty haha. Then Melissa and I tried a gelato type of ice cream which was really good too! i ordered the cookies and cream one. Then Kezia went gaga over the wine section haha. Later Kezia and I tried a Japanese cocktail which was so good! We took the white grape peach flavour, and it was not too sweet and the alcohol taste was not strong at all. I think the ladies would love it :)

Below are links to all the pictures in my photobucket. Enjoy! And remember the old rule people, "Right click and save" hee hee

Hey friends! tomodachi!

How is everyone doing? I know lotsa uni people are currently having their exams period, so study hard and jia you!! you can do it!! It will be over soon!! ganbatte kudasai!!

As for the others, whether work or school ... Jia you too!!

I am currently still looking for a job LOL. I quit the admin job which i got, cause it was oh so totally horribly boring. lock me up in a room with no human interaction and frowning down at endless paperwork just drives me up the wall ... drives me crazy, insane and whatever adjective you can find haha!

And to quote my fellow classmates, we hospitality people need human interactions and we are SO not suited for admin jobs. I used to disagree with them and say "admin only what, very easy to do lah!" Yeah i told every single one of them after i quit my job that i admit i am wrong and that i officially join the "hospitality people can't do admin jobs club" hahahahaha

Anyway, I really enjoyed the Planetshakers concert that Rachel invited me to last week! Although i jumped for two hours and had to go for Miracle Service to pray for strained leg muscles hahaha. But praise the Lord i got healed! went up to testify too! Mel helped me to record teehee, but i was really nervous in front of the camera hee hee

Dawn over and out!

Holidays!!

Ah ... finally ... holidays for me!! well its only one week ... but its enough to sing ...

OH its a jolly holiday with dawnee!!
Dawnee makes the sun shines bright!!
When dawnee holds your hand
Your feel so grand!
You heart starts beating like a big brass band!
OH its a jolly holiday with dawnee!
No wonder that is dawnee that we love!!!

Wahahahahahaha ok that was so super lame and thick skin. But it was fun! From the Mary poppins movie. i was skipping and singing it yesterday after school ... Melissa and Kezia went into "ho-eee!?" and then "diao" mode hahaha

Anyway, i am hoping to enjoy my holidays with some time to myself finally! Rest and Relaxation here i come!!

不用再问为什么
不用再说些什么
了了懂了
我们都一直爱着

不用再担心什么
不用再害怕什么
累了睡了
牵着手一起入梦了

I really like this song by Tank!! Its a rather "genki" kinda song! YOSH!

Minna-san Ganbatte Kudasai!!!

It means ... Everyone "jia you!" and "you can do it!" and "all the best!"

Sometimes life gets quite taxing, tiring or wearing you down. But take heart! In the twinkling of any eye! We shall be raptured to be with the Lord anytime!

And also ... always remember this! "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened. And I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and my burden is light."

What a friend we have in Jesus! Are you weak or heavy laden? Cumbered with a load of care? Take it to the Lord in prayer!!!

It is kinda the turning point in my life now ... Moving on in life in a few aspects in my life! Really thank God my parents saga will be coming to an end very soon and we can all move on! And also other areas in life too! Yooooossshhh! Genki desu ne!

A really good song that speaks to me and puts my perspective of life right ... Please read the lyrics carefully and with an open heart!

Let my walk speak loud
And my words be true
Let my life be whole
With my eyes on you

Lord I'm stepping out
From the comfort zone
Letting go of me
Holding onto You
Freedom comes
When I call You Lord
You are Lord my God

(Chorus)
You are the centre of it all
The universe declares in awe
Your Majesty, I surrender all
I make you the centre of my life
Lord, I respond with all I am
You placed in me the song of heavens melody
Your Majesty, I live to sing Your song

I have found Your peace
It replaces any fear
You have done it all
I can trust in you

So I'm stepping out
From the comfort zone
Letting go of me
Holding onto you
Freedom comes
When I call You Lord
You are Lord my God (Chorus)

(Bridge)
This is your song not mine
It is your song that bring healing to this land
This is your song not mine
It is your song that brings freedom
Freedom comes
When I call You Lord
You are Lord my God (Chorus)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Centre of My Life - Hillsong

Your Majesty .... My life will sing ..... Your song ...

Life is good!

Well well! How is everyone? Good i hope!

I have not been faithfully updating my blog haha. But I'm trying to update it at least once a month!!

Basically the highlights for last month was Chinese New Year and my job at the Singapore Airshow which was really great! Pictures in my facebook album for both events hehehe lazy to post here LOL.

Now I have two classes a week only, so I am currently scouting for a job. Pray for me! So far I have applied for a few so we shall see :)

I watched the movie The Leap Years!! I thought it was so totally awesome. It was sweet, drama, touching and nice all at the same time. I was laughing one moment and sobbing the next. LOL recommended to watch!

A really nice song by Hagen Tan:

只要有你我就会快乐
只要有你我不会伤心
我的上帝你会是我的决定
我只想仰望你一个

只要有你我不会放弃
只要有你我会爱着你
只要有你的爱我会走下去
你会是我心中的上帝
唯一的上帝

Chinese New Year rocks!!

Hello!


How is everyone's Chinese New Year going? Its gonna be over soon! *sobz*


Anyway, even though Pearlin and Melissa were saying today that this year's "qi fen" or festive season for Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day is not good ... To someone who has been away for 2 years I think its EXTREMELY good hahahahaha! I guess going overseas lets you appreciate better and be contented with the little we have ... which is actually alot!! :)

Below are some pics of my reunion dinner with my family. First Lo Hei!! Followed by steamboat spread haha!

The first day of Chinese New Year was spent with family - photos in Melody's camera

The second day was spent at the Choo's place, playing with Tina, chatting with Laura, Uncle Seow Patt and Auntie Karen ... Then followed by a gathering at grandmother's place, where I found out some really distant relatives whom I never knew existed hahahaha ... Then we went to Uncle Pong Huat, Auntie Yvonne and Denise place to chat and play with their SIX dogs!! - Again all of the above photos in Melody's camera

Third day was my first time serving at Miracle Service at the counter! It was so exciting and I loved the experience - Photos in Mel's cammie.

Fourth day serving at the counter again woohoo! And I went for Double Feed ... So basically I learnt how to be a delight to my parents and about a God designed marriage :)

Fifth day was Events Exam, really thank the Lord the questions were exactly the same as the past paper that I studied!! Caught Apel and Ryan at Bugis haha, went with Pearlin to tcc followed by Japanese class.

Seventh day went "Bai Nian" with Yiling, Jia Shin and Xiao Qi. It was SOO fun! We took a photo at each of our houses ... haven't load up - in my camera haha. First they came to my house, talked for a long time ... Followed by Jia Shin's house where her mum cooked lunch for us - fried bee hoon, broccoli and fried fish - which was sooooooo good! Then we went to Yiling's house to eat somemore and drink vodka with sprite which i personally didn't like, prefer to go with juice haha. I popped out to go for Japanese class (where Pearlin gaped at my bright colourful dress). Then went to Xiao Qi's house where her mum cooked dinner for us - White carrot soup, broccoli, egg with prawns, lettuce with abalone, steamed fish - which was again sooooooo good!

And now today is Valentine's Day!! Happy V-day everyone!! In Canada, v-day was for everyone and not only couples. So I spend a wonderful day today with my family for lunch, went to Melissa's house for NPB and chatting, making a fool of ourselves with her huge teddy bears haha, trying to tune her guitar, and vandalising her bear! Later will be dinner at grandmother's house, followed by supper with XQ at bedok 85 followed by sleepover!

Really thank the Lord for this wonderful CNY and valentine's day! Love my family and friends! Those who are anti-V day people *stares pointedly* you know who you are haha! Appreciate the people around you!!!

*hugz to all*

CNY approaching soon!!

Alright people!! Pull up your socks, fold up your sleeves and get to work!! Its time for major springcleaning before Chinese New Year!! *hears mumbling and groaning*

Hahahahaha oh well, its nice to see the house spick and span once a year LOL! I can't wait for Chinese New Year, like seriously. Its been 2 years since I had a decent CNY. Let alone a reunion dinner with family, eating cny goodies and collecting the much awaited hongbaos. Or even just the festive mood everywhere, cny music, cny decorations and cny merchandise! RED RED RED!!

Somehow, since I came back, I've been looking forward to my first everything in 2 years haha. First Christmas, then New Year, now its Chinese New Year. Its so exciting!! Like OOOOOooooohhhh! Can't contain it! *dances around*

I guess this childlike innocence and expectation is quite rare over here in Singapore, cause everyone around me thinks the squirrels must be missing a nut in their winter store hahahaha!

Anyway, I wanna thank the Lord for this opportunity to spend time with family members over CNY, for the pending dinner and visitations, which would be extremely lovely. And all of my dear friends not to forget! This year would be the first time we will be going to each others' house for visitations woohoo! Both my best sec sch and uni frens. I still think its so totally awesome :)

Which means ... I so better start studying for my exams which are immediately after the cny celebrations!! Lord, please give me diligence and perseverance!! pwease pwease
