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

Are You Listening?

Listen to the Word
And do what it says
Listen to His voice
Like one being taught
You will be blessed in what you do

For the Lord says
If you listen, I know you
And you will follow me
I give you eternal life
And you shall never perish
I am speaking, are you listening?

Listen to His advice
Let it speak to your heart
Listen to His instructions
And you will be wise
He wants to have a relationship with you

Let the Spirit speak
To the core of your being
Filling that deep place within you
That no one else can reach ...

Fill me O Lord ...

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!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!! It is officially 2008!!

Abundant blessings to all!!

May you fulfill all your new year resolutions!!

God Bless! Love you all *hugz*

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)
