countdown 2010!:):)

OoH LaLa! its the time of the year again!:):) YAY! this time the celebration will be held in our church:D whOohooW! there is going to be fellowship. singing of praises. food. reflection. games. and counting down! haha. can't wait for it! can't miss it! and can't thank God enough for this year's life journey! its been a rollercoaster ride:D

vietnam fever!:D

its a world of a difference in singapore to ho chi minh city! :)) i'm delighted to be back but at the same time wishing that i had more time to explore the rich culture of vietnam:):) i'm happy that we met up with the other families just before christmas. remembering the reason for the season. and dedicated a praise & worship + sharing session to Him. :) everyone gave their humble opinion on their thoughts of vietnam and/or celebrating christmas there. :):) some shared of their regret and was remorseful. but all was well! as uncle shiguang said, this sharing was not coincidental. its God opening the hearts of people to share the load with the bros and sisters around you! for my sharing, i wanted to share abit more then i did but speaking to a group of parents overwhelmed my train of thoughts. therefore the words came out distorted. idea was to share of how caring the vietnamese were (i.e: taking care of the pedestrians) and how fortunate we were as people who are given the opportunity to travel and celebrate christmas overseas. its really saddening to see how their society have moulded them. fighting to earn a living. their despondent faces everytime a bargain made or a sale turned down. slowly but surely erupts into a desperation for sale. bitter and vexed. and multiply this by the number of cheapo customers who can probably afford 4 times more. its a pity. :(

backpacking in vietnam! shiok. and crazy..almost miss my flight back home. what do think? :D

operation anyhow! :):) viet.

my bag is packed and i'm, all ready to go~ :D this is gonna be a blast. straight into the unknown. seeing more of the world. enjoying one part of God's creation! :):) YAY!! and my partner in crime, as always, zee! hahaha! his really quite an ON person. i rmb the time when he was willing to be my first passenger when i didnt had the licence to drive:D oops! heehee. havoc sia. okay! gonna miss the people in Singapore:))

HERE I COME OPERATION ANYHOW!:):)

a song to share:)

On the Side of Me - Corrinne May :)

vibes!:)

here is a joy i would like to share! :) my dad went to the musical:) it was his first and willing one. just now while i was sitting on the beach reflecting, i thought of my family on how we have come a long way. a bitter past it was. and i thanked God for allowing me to know Him. to learn of His ways, to have good brothers and sisters to share my cares, to exercise sacrificial love and to be grateful and contented. if i didnt know Him, i would probably end up blaming the world, hate my father and self-destruct into a hooligan to derive pleasure from taking drugs.

but i cannot say that i'm 100% morphed into mr ideal after knowing Him. honestly how can one grow properly when there's no love between his parents. there's no one to look up to. no idea what a proper relationship is like. his mode of love has always been demonstration of love. actions. actions. actions. maximum thoughts into the actions. necessary words spoken. he doesnt say much in a group coz he believes that most of it is just surface. he enjoys one on one quality time..engaging in deeper conversations.

i'm sorry i give such vibes at times. i'm learning. :)

we're more than this. :) i know.

autobahn.

ever wonder how an elder sister would be like? :) i will tell you. they're usually long winded and naggy. but they offer the wisest of advice and moral encouragement when life's hurdles get in your way. i would like to thank my sister Grace for showing me how we're so easily absorbed into this fallen world and forget about how much we humans need God. thanks for the reminder! :) seek first His knowledge and wisdom. trust in His plans. that's what i'm going to do! ;)

today's preview --> two thumbs up! 5 stars! :D

enjoy this song by anberlin. one of my favourite:)

before tmr:)

phew! ultra ultra long rehearsal today. :S alright man! everything is going superbly well. the costumes, the set-ups, the singing, the lines..etc. the kids' segment was most interesting i think. :) thank God for making this musical a huge success! i do hope hearts will be touched and God's love to transcend amongst His people. my reflections on the musical thus far? hmm..it's been by God's grace that i can attend almost ALL (90percent) of all the rehearsals. i praise Him. organised. at times pressurising which sometimes making it less fun.

YAY! :) package delivered! :):) although the circumstances were kinda inappropriate, somehow words and actions came out naturally.

tuesday. :)

my tuesday's night. :D primary purpose was to go for my make-up rehearsal (if there's spare time) or help out with the shifting of the props here and there. when i was asked, "why you come today?" primary purpose came out only after 2 second of thought. why the delay? coz secondary purpose came up first in my mind. secondary purpose was to give her the present and talk talk with her! :D haha. managed to talk talk abit but didnt manage to give the present and card to her. haiz. it was like ... she's always busy. and me not knowing how to pass it to her. ARGH! i'm such a donkey. ee-aww! ee- aww!

dancing brings out the confidence in people. :D

sunday burnt again:(

what a week!:) the week's duration didnt seemed long even after last sunday's guard duty. :D expanded 1.5 days of my 4 days of OFF during the week. it was a bit of a dilemma whether to take or not...or rather whether it will be approved. thank God a decision was made and it was approved. :) today was my men's passing-out parade. walked 16km last night. i think my knees are going to crack anytime soon. haha. frankly. but it was heartwarming to see them grow and transit from civilian to military. :) oops! back to my offs. during my OFFs, i went for the christmas musical rehearsals! :) YAY! so happy that everything was smooth sailing and organised. thank you Lord! :):) today was the 1st full rehearsal. finally i get the full picture:D flashmob was power-der-ma! power-der-ma coz everyone was putting their heart and soul into it! felt guilty for not being able to rmb everything fully. sadd.

more sad would be tmr's COS duty. haiz..my 2nd sunday in a row burnt. couldnt be utter sadder. i guess i've to spend the time reading the bible on my own and mo4 dao3. and make a birthday card:) hopefully there is a chance to pass it. :x

p.s: i'm thinking something functional. useful. handy. and enjoyable. :) are you thinking what i'm thinking? :D

jeep!:)

POP loh! officially got my jeep licence:) whee! looking back, phew! 28days to learn something new isnt an easy feat especially for those without any prior knowledge about driving. congrats to those who have passed with me!:):) and for those who have not, i part you guys in good faith that you'll pass eventually. passing the test is only ceremonial, its the duty and responsibility thereafter that you uphold that matters! jeep!:D had jeep loads of fun learning. laughing non-stop thru-out the course. memoriable experience. :):) if only pictures could be taken to tell the story... haiz... ohh wells.

now that i've passed out, here comes disaster. the pile of workload and duties waiting for me to clear. plus duties are ON 2 consecutive SUNDAYS?!?!?! i couldnt be more disappointed. "its inevitable. unless you guys want to 'TA' holidays?" my boss said. we thumbed.

on the brighter side of things. i'm going for the youth celebration thingy tonight 7pm at st.john - st. marg! may our faithful Lord inspire us once again! and keep the faith burning!:):) happy picnicing! :) gonna miss ya again.

p.s: suppered last night with vic, aza and joanna. :)
