Being an events coordinator assistant is like being a very organised yet outward looking person. Lots of planning & admin & telesales. The real fun for me begins when I get to touch the best design works from the top creative directors, get inspired & also hear them speak at media/advertising events tt we organise. In fact, just this Tues after a company pub night event, an ang moh guy just suddenly wrapped his arm around me & said he is bias & liked me alot in front of my boss & a whole lots of other pple in the advertising industry and took photo with me. He paid me compliments for a job well done. ^^ I was unaware that I actually took photo with the D&AD (reowned in design world) president until my NYP junior (student volunteer) came to tell me after that! ahaha..

 

Still trying for that graphic designer job though!

 

The HUGE dream He placed in me to raise up a generation of designers still beats no matter how many times I try to ignore. It consumes my every being.

 

Our relationship with God is directly determined by how we view Him. It is impossible to know God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit outside of revelation. Matthew 11:27 "All things have been delivered to me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

 

 

We can attempt to develop this latter view of God just by acknowledging some facts and becoming familiar with a few scriptures that describe God as such. But it takes a revelation of God-the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit-in our spirit to change the way we live and minister. Miracles are not a big deal to the Lord, even though they might be to us. They are easy for Him, not difficult. Nothing is too difficult for the Lord.

 

How we view God and our relationship to Him will have a great influence over the anointing on us because the anointing is generated in our lives not by our own effort but by grace. When we know that God will move according to His grace, not according to our goodness or our efforts, then we are on solid ground for moving in the supernatural.

 

 

If we pretend something is happening when it isn't, people looking on will be aware that nothing is really happening. This can damage their faith because their expectations are unmet. God does heal. God does perform miracles. But it is He who does these things, not us. We are simply servants who release the power of God through the spoken Word and through the laying on of hands.

 

It really suddenly got my attention, kept reading it over & over again & cg msg sure coincided with it. Work today was SUPER productive & somehow I could keep the peace & have the wisdom to get boss to move over from a foul mood to a lighter mood so she could see the work from my perspective. That saves me from alot of unnecessary no-reason scolding from her too. Scored brownie points!* Hahaha..definitely His timing. :) 

 

 

OFF TO KL BUSINESS SEMINAR & KL EMERGE 2009!

I'M SO EXCITED AFTER PATRICK'S MAKE-UP CG MEETING THAT I CAN'T SLEEP NOW!!!

Counting down.....1Hour30mins...

Meeting Cheryl at Clementi mrt at 545am.

 

Last year I was helping out in Children Church, now attending as a member in KL Emerge 2009! haha..

  

   

 

Out of sight doesn't always mean out of mind.. How many times does one even consider the one who is out of sight? Or is one still so pre-occupied that can only see within themselves?

 

I choose to say nothing & confide in someone I trust...

I choose to say nothing, does not mean I am not angry. In fact I WAS. But at least, confiding in someone I trust helps me to see better & know I am loved for who I am, whether I did the right thing or not. At least I know I am loved. The rest, I GIVE UP. YOU SETTLE YOUR OWN STUFF.

-

 

All those tears, waiting, frustration & sowing were not in vain.

Some would say said that is so soulish & unspiritual. Well I know I have body, soul & spirit. WHAT HAVE YOU-body & spirit only?!?!?!? Man, if you think "she is so unspiritual", then you really need to breathe, smile more & take a look at yourself in the mirror. Question: Do you love yourself?

Right after w138 celebrated Elvis' bday, I rushed off to meet up with Shimin & Thomas, hoping to join my Sec. sch. classmates at OOSH cum lingerie fashion show event. Click on http://www.oosh.com.sg/ to view the place. Seems FUN!

 

But er..after catching up on our dinner which was treated by Thomas, my friends called me to tell me the bad news - IT'S NOT FREE ENTRY as stated on Facebook. Have to pay $49++ for entry free & unlimited drinks. 被骗。。。 ：/ but nvm, the 3 of us went somewhere else to chill on Halloween! My Sec. sch classmates went to chill over a cuppa coffee instead. Looks like my side here more chiongster than we look! haha..

Grace caught up with me at Expo! Heh.. I removed my blusher along the way to the mrt platform just so I could look more halloWEENN...

This is a crazy movie which I like to watch & disturb my neighbour because the main character Caroline is SO LIKE Shimin my neighbour!! :P

 

Heh..we didn't watch the show but we just wanted to pose for fun.

Jim Carrie, do you feel WARMER now with my bag of sweets in your hand?

 

With the babes at Xin Wang. I think hor... I'll be allergic to Xin Wang at least for months.

 

Dialect family celebrated Tris' "18th" birthday @ Minds Cafe, hahaa..woot!

Last week PK shared something powerful. This is just gonna be very brief.

 

1) A dream fits with GOD'S WILL 

Num13:1-2 "To know that God is on our side makes a BIG DIFFERENCE"

 

2 Chro 29:11-12 "God is the one who decides who achieves more and who is given strength."

 

Hmm, from what I encountered in my walk with Him previously, those doors that He opened for me & when I felt the green light (the peace) to just go ahead, everything just fell into place inspite of the difficulties. Just somehow I had more strength & faith to do it despite of the obstacles cos I know & I know deep down within He is WITH ME TO OVERCOME.

 

2) A good dream fits with YOUR TALENTS(S)

 

Joshua VS. Caleb

A man of action VS. A man full of the spirit & wisdom

*Start evaluating your dream with your talent.*

*God's blessings will always match with our talents.*

 

Rom 12:6 "God has gifted me for those things cos' He wants me to do well!"

*Reach for the highest potential in your gift!*

 

3) A good dream fits with PEOPLE'S NEEDS

Num 13: 27-30

 

Joshua 14:7, 10-12 "Caleb was 85 years old & still a man of action! When the time came to slay the giants, the people needed SOMEONE LIKE CALEB"

Joshua 15:14 "David killed 1 giant, Caleb drove 3 giants out of the Promised Land!"

 

Well I like to sing, I love art & design, culture, animals & nature alot! Since young, been always very drawn to these stuff & did whatever I could to learn about them. But now, it's time to step up on what I have learnt & done to another level! Not to forget, must remember not to ignore my health while pursuing them. I am trying my best not to ignore health. Remind me if I DO!

-

 

Last wkend, serving in choir for s2 was awesome but it was even more awesome when I served in Dialect Church last Sun. What an encounter. Each of the dialect BVs on stage encountered Him personally in a very special way.

 

*sings* He's smiling down upon me. He's breathing upon me. So warm, so real, embracing me for all I am. Yea yea yea... Everything not meant to be there falls away. I really can't help smiling! =)))))

 

 

THE REASON WHY I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY DIALECT BV FAMILY!!! :DDDDDDDDDD

 

 

Some people hit the road harder than others. Some seem to insist their road is straight despite all the obvious curves and bumps. Some seem to bounce back faster than others but may/may not help those slower or struggling mates depending on their mood. DO NOT COMPARE. Everyone has their own path in life to take. Inspite of all these, God must be a CONSTANT IMPORTANT FACTOR INCLUDED. Without Him, where would we be? Without Him, there is nothing much to celebrate even if we have gained the whole world. I will only go where He is going. Am glad for cg meeting last night. This whole week was fun, tiring and with alot of thorns too. Even at the last minute on my way to cg meeting, a "bomb" came. I had to defuse it somehow. Much needed an encounter with Him again so can re-focus and get a bigger perspective. Thank You Father!  And thanks Grace for your mum's dinner! YES I will bring my mum next week for cg meeting to meet your mum!  And thanks alot to Aloy the driver, Ah Jie, SB & Elvis for helping out in my transport last night. :) Yup managed to get the last train at potong pasir & catch night-rider. After that, peaceful all the way man. Just caught up on my sleep, feels great!

 

I was just talking over MSN with a friend whom I haven't talked to for a loooooong time. Realised that despite of all the storms I'm in, God's hand was always there. He saved me from my boss' mood so I won't get fired for nothing. Really thank God for His wisdom & boldness so I would not get "eaten up" haha... Thank God for sharpness and favour of man. People keep coming to me to solve their problems. I kept getting treats day in day out, plus an auntie sold her Indonesian bento to me with a free dessert for lunch. Jus $4.50.

 

Just to make a point: I miss You God... I need You more than ever so that I can be there for them. So that even when I cannot solve the problems, You are there for me.

 

 

1) Boss Jennifer suddenly treated me to an expensive coffeeshop at Amara Hotel. Mostly expats would dine there. The local food like chicken rice, hokkien mee, beef hor fun were tagged at a crazy price of $13.90!! WAH. I wonder if the chicken underwent some SPECIAL process compared to our good old $2.50/$3.00 chicken rice? =.=" The slightly more adventurous foods were the perenakan bento, etc, which my boss didn't allow me to take though at the same price as the EXPENSIVE chicken rice due to my recent diarrhea. Since boss insisted I order chicken rice cos she tried it & it was real good, of course I had to ask about the chilli too! No chilli, no kick man... AND YES, the expensive chicken rice was really GOOD like my boss recommended. All drumstick, ample meat, good soup stock, the rice could have been abit better, and the chilli was good but the one at JW is even more POWERFUL!! haha.. Had a very good talk with her whuch really ironed out some issues in our working relationship. :)

 

2) Choir was awesome!!!

 

 

 

More pimples popped out cos preparation for Hall of Fame Awards' Gala Night is intensifying, so are the demands of my 2nd job. Past two days been prepping myself up with strong coffee. Effective. Then Boss suddenly passed some cash to me. She said she wanted to bless me as she knows how it feels like in my situation as she and her family's been there before. Am so glad to know & hear of the similiar experiences of others. Greatly encouraged. But man I am in a singing mood!!! I sang while walking across my block's void deck, at the bus-stop, at my tuition kid's house, even when some people turned around to look at me, etc. hahahaa.. When I feel something in my spirit knowing something GOOD is gonna happen, I cannot help but keep on singing & smiling despite the stares!!!

 

To hear the song, click on the link below:

 

I'M NOT GONNA LIVE BY WHAT I SEE

I'M NOT GONNA LIVE BY WHAT I FEEL

 

DEEP DOWN I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE WITH ME

'CAUSE IT'S YOU WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

 

THROUGH YOU

BLIND EYES ARE OPENED

STRONGHOLDS ARE BROKEN

I AM LIVING BY FAITH

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!

 

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE IN YOU

 

If sufferings can come in many forms, shapes and fashion. So can love come in many forms, shapes and fashion too.

 

Thank you Ah Jie for suddenly treating me to dinner! It was definitely an answer to a prayer I made during svc just now. Love being with you guys at dinner. :)

 

Thank you for PK's msg today. Spoke to me in many ways. Condemnation & discouragement lifted. I feel the word LIBERATION totally!! ♥ ♥ ♥

 

Thank You Father for allowing me to serve in service choir today. *grateful* Today was a journey of memories of old encounters & new encounters. I remembered telling Vann my neighbour during pre-svc prac that I could totally agree with Meida that choir in Hollywood theatre back then rocked the house down! The balcony of the theatre shook too! I know it cos I was one of those people who stood there & clapped among the colourful tees & jeans of the CHC youth congregation. =) That was my 1st encounter with CHC when I came in. I was super happy to be in the presence of a group of people who yearned & love God with all their heart, soul & might..plus expressed it in vivid creative ways!! To end the prac before svc started, we prayed for one another's needs in 2 or 3s. My group had Gabriel, Charmaine & me. Lovely & dynamic! We spoke into one another's lives and that's called fruitful prayer! Woohoo! :)

 

Maybe many of us have never got to experience CHC in its purest forms when they were moving from place to place looking for a House of Worship. I never did too. I only joined during their last few weeks in Hollywood theatre. But it was enough to get me keep coming back for more.

 

Now I know what drew me causing me to want more. It was the CHC people's great love for God that made me see Him in them. The DNA of Christ in them that touched me and at times, dumbfounded me. It was this that made me want to know more about God, want to be more like them.

 

Sorry I could only find a pic taken during 2008 Asian Conference but this will suffice. :)

 

TODAY I get to see a glimpse of that 1st encounter. Now I am not one of those in the congregation singing but in choir as a helper, and clapping, singing, groovy jumping & cheering for God together with like-minded people - simply just loving Him in a vocal way. The presence of God was so awesomely beautiful. Indescribable. No, I think I can sum up today's choir during svc on 17.10.2009 in 4 words, SOLD OUT FOR HIM!!! :DD I really really hope to experience more of choir in this manner. Really. ;) Choir, JIAYOU JIAYOU!JIAYOU!!! Man, I'm hungry now..haha..

 

I want to be refined gold. Grow stronger & bigger through all of these. The good & bad shall waste not.

He loves me alot.

I shall remember Heb12:4-11 by heart.

 

(The Message Bible)

^4-11In this all-out match against sin, others have suffered far worse than you, to say nothing of what Jesus went through—all that bloodshed! So don't feel sorry for yourselves. Or have you forgotten how good parents treat children, and that God regards you as his children? My dear child, don't shrug off God's discipline, but don't be crushed by it either. It's the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects.

 

God is educating you; that's why you must never drop out. He's treating you as dear children. This trouble you're in isn't punishment; it's training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Would you prefer an irresponsible God? We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God's training so we can truly live? While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them. But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God's holy best. At the time, discipline isn't much fun. It always feels like it's going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it's the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God.

Last week had a chance to be wardrobe I/C for the dialect bv team that sang yesterday. I pondered over hats theme, fall season clothes, shades of pink yet chic.. But in the end, went with autumn clothes freestyle with or without a hat. I really wanted to wear my big cousin's Giordano orange sweater but upon REALISING EVERYONE ELSE ON THE TEAM is wearing brown, silver, black & white, decided I've to tone down if not I will look like a bright orange leaf in the midst of winter blings as you can see below.. LOL..

 

Stumbled upon this cool treasure trove website while brainstorming for dresscodes last week!! Always up-to-date (check the dates on the blog posts), thumbs up by professional fashion designers and fashion editors, & a good reference for fashion trends to wear in humid, hazy Singapore nowadays without looking like a fashion nerd.

 

Saw a cheaper alternative @ This Fashion ;)

Colourful print tights for Fall

Last Sat was a steamboat dinner with the whole dialect church family. 110 of us!! We umm..sang "Praise Him in the Sanctuary" over & over again IN THE RAIN until the rain STOPPED. :P Some of us took shelter under some unbrellas & continued to sing in public where all the strangers were eating their own steamboats. Crazy indeed! I like the gungho-ness & that raw childlike faith of it! Thank God for the hat I was wearing & some shelter here & there from temporary umbrellas to shelter my newly-rebonded hair too haha..

 

Mum & I <3<3<3

 

 

The dialect BV peepz who were there! :D

 

After that some of us went jalan jalan at Cineleisure & bumped into Hendri & JD. What a small world after all...Hhaahaha..

Just needed some time off. Realised how much I have forgotten to rest when caught up in the hurricane of busy-ness & putting out fires. Yesterday was a day to be loved, to laugh alot ALOT & be paid attention to. Am cooler. Things seem to get done in a breeze. Seriously like it. I love the whole dialect dinner & the after walks with Summer, Adam, Idy & my mum. Can vividly see the unity & power of covering for one another when help is needed. The encouragement & family support given lavishly when one is leading praise as a declaration that we will keep on singing "Praise Him in the Sanctuary" until the rain STOPS. Think we sang one praise song over & over again for around 20mins, LOL. And my mum was touched by the affections & unity in this family. Yup that's the reason why I wanted to bring her - to let her experience the lurrrve. :) I can't help gushing over them cos they have indeed won my heart. I am proud of my dialect family. With a family that loves loves loves. :)))

 

 

Oh, I woke up this morning with a new design. Not sure it's for Xmas or some other ocassion. Heh, He always has His own way. ;)

i'll take things slow. The pressure to stay focus even when those I thought that are with me are not really with me. For Him & Him alone, even when I feel alone in this race. Yes gambatte!!!~

 

Realised how silly I am today to try to psycho myself not to be nice & at least stay angry for a longer while. Make them know how it feels to be taken for granted & ignored or being some emotional sandbag for some people. I give up. I can't help being nice again & giving in. :/ Like Lou said, nvm, I have a big heart. But a big heart also means easy for SA Tan to "shoot darts" too! :( Guess love's in camp & all mooncakes are out for grabs too. Haha.. I'll prolly check Amara shopping centre for cheesecake "mooncakes" for cg who are always on mind whenever I see something nice.. Will buy if within my budget. :)

-

 

Happy Children's Day Darrion!! :) And to all who are young at heart!! ;)

Never knew how much fear came into me ever since I saw a very close loved one recently attempting suicide before my very eyes & me trying to push her away from the oncoming cab or myself almost dying in a near collision/accident. After that she hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe & I cried out at my uselessness. Just 2 days ago, a 1-day missing handphone episode happened. And now it's back at another place in my house where I TOTALLY know I have not left it. I feel very very harassed. All these is really making me paranoid and I've been actually numbing my pain & fear to other happy things. I'm trying so hard to be strong but they can't see. Those that know the happenings..well maybe it was too late or too troublesome to sincerely care? To make things worse, I'm bugged by my "family's" insensitivity. Thanks for Lou's & Sam's listening ears. I'm thankful for Psalms 62-68. Yes a good cry is all I need now. This pain needs to go.. A hug & a shoulder is all I need now....

Back from giving tuition. Yea I give tuition twice a week after my work ends. My current boss is rather impressed that I still have energy to go on like that. Hahaa.. Well I have a goal(s) to zoom into. I'm glad for a fruitful convo with her during lunch today. It touches my heart that people are still hungry for the supernatural and for God. Had an opportunity to share some things with her. :) And thanks HC for your endless jokes in the car & the promotion on iphone after hearing my "phone episode". LOL. Also thanks Zhong the driver for the ride home after your dinner ended although I couldn't be at dinner today due to tuition. For the extra mile, thanks guys!! :)

I have no time for such childish nonsense. Knowing I have done my part in being prompt upon knowing & you purposely gey gao without knowing the full story. Should I blame you for your lack of wisdom or the laggy network of M1 after they UN-suspended my hp line when I was abit free-er to use office phone to call during work? I shall do none. Time will tell.. :)

 

Like my FB status says: Silence is beautiful at times. I hear snip, snip, scribble, scribble @ my workplace. It's a BUSY season! :) Grumble grumble is just the sound of my stomach. :S

Hp is back, line still suspended cos too busy to call M1. But apparently now I have a phobia. I do not dare to let my hp out of my sight... My boss kinda sensed my traumatised aura in the morning.. She knew what it meant to have someone unfamiliar just going to my room to get my hp then place it in another place in the room. So after that, we buried ourselves in work cos today is SUPER BUSY. Of cos no thanks to a "1 day missing hp" which meant alot of time lost. We ate a very quick lunch that barely fufilled my criteria of breakfast. But yes, we are finally done with the recordings of entries!! YAY!!! And it's time for judging of entries! :D

 

Plus boss blessed me with a soft toy, some YAHOO souvenirs which are quirky stationaries, OCK curry puff, and 2 bottles of nectarine & white ginger body lotion. I was thinking of buying face cleanser & a good moisturiser. Instead received a free good cleanser near my workplace during lunchtime & purchased a very good moisturiser @ Jurong Point at a super low price, thrown in together with 3 free facial masks. Haha.. Save money indeed. :)

 

I'm happy that my mum & younger twin bros David & Jonathan are coming for steamboat @ Outram Park this coming sat night!! $5 per pax. I'll gladly pay for them!! But my bros wanna spend it with their own hard-earned money from their very 1st part-time job. So touched. :) Sat's outing is a team effort pulled in by my dialect bv family for the sake of good family fun & yes it's an outreach too. ;) People who do what they say are people that can be depended on. :) As for ECP cycling with cg & a stayover, hmm, time will tell? It was planned way before this ECP night cycling thing came along. If I'm not gonna be planned to be used as a dartboard for others' insecurities, then maybe I will consider to join after steamboat dinner. :)

 

Ok I'm finally done with my breakfast-lunch-dinner meal. Now not so faint le...

Today was even wierder. Spelt D-R-E-I-W. In the morning, my hp on the dining table was stolen while I was in the bathroom washing up to get ready to go to work. My siblings had taken for granted again that I would be alone sleeping at home & nothing would happen, so they went to work without locking the door. Not the first time already. My mum did suspect someone playing with our main electricity supply & stealing the newspaper delivered to our main door at random times. But in this case, whoever it was always seemed to choose the right time to strike - when I am ALONE at home. Actually I was panicking till my fainting spells came.  I check & checked every nook & cranny for my hp the whole day til 3pm, called M1 to suspend my hp line, then finally left home to meet SB, WX, etc to head for Lou's 21st bday party. Finally I am back home from Lou's awesome bday party.. :) And my hp & comb was left in a pair of shorts in a corner where I had combed several times but it wasn't there previously. Now I am totally clueless how did my phone went missing & came back on its own??? My boss said that I should thank God that nothing happened to me when I came out of the toilet, and only hp was stolen. FREAKY AND I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. Yes I am safe. Thank God for His protection.

 

Through this brief freak incident, I am more clear on who are the kissers & those who will be there when you really need them. Thanks Winnie Jie* for "scolding" the culprit on my behalf. :)

 

Seriously I didn't know church without walls meant sitting at a LONG table & mixing with just your own clique. Only when someone else is doing what others are supposed to be doing, suddenly it became a threat of status or whatever (I don't know cos I was never good at this game), all the masks came back on. OH WOW. Even if I feel hurt, I don't think anyone would care until the eleventh hour arrives. Actions always speak louder than words. So yea, please do not care. A friend is someone who is happy for you & celebrate your success and growth, even if they overtake you. I'm just glad I went for the party with a great attitude, didn't lose my hair over it or my hp, had fun with people who were unpretentious..and yea we had great fun at the poolside!! Lou's 21st bday party was a success!! Hope you enjoyed yourself dear. And the card & the present. ;)

Today was funny. Saw another Hall of Fame Awards advert, this time at Orchard mrt! Bumped into Justin, Suee and the gang @ X X X. They were shopping after S4 ended. I would say they were trying to scare me!! Haha, nice try guys. :) And.. Mostly anything that is with Michelle/Regina becomes a L-O-L affair.. :p Eh, today was kind of strangely wierd too. In one day, three people told me that I didn't look local...

1) A lady boss cum in-house designer thought I was a foreigner.

 

2) One of the subway guys stared long & hard at my face and bashfully said to me; "wow you are pretty". Of course, I was pleasantly surprised and thanked him. Next he asked me if I am Vietnamese. I was stunned & decided to look offended instead. I retorted back: WHY??!! After that, he told me his colleague over there (the guy who had taken my order & toasted the subway) is a Vietnamese. I looked over. Next thing I knew, his colleague turned around to give me his colgate smile and winked his eyes at me. Please lah, I'm not a 三岁小孩子.  What a way to try to matchmake his colleague with some random stranger (me), hahaha.. =.=" But yea, the vietnamese guy is 帅 de, haha.

 

3) A sales promoter lady thought I was taiwanese. =.="

 

So I thought to myself.. This ain't the 1st time I've been given such comments. With/without make-up, some people do think I look foreign. But three in one day? Ok, for the record, in the last 23 years, I have not done any major or minor constructive surgery on any parts of my body. I would be crazy to put myself through such physical pain & torture!! And I have the singaporean accent like anyone else, when I want to. I still like wearing my flip-flops/ballet flats on my off days and even on work days. I do bargain like an Ah Soh when I see a very good steal... Just that my bargaining skills have upgraded & comes with a touch of class so it makes me look good. *grin* I love laksa, chicken rice, rojak, prata, etc. I am a local product through & through. Which part of me looks UN-local???  What an interesting day, hahaha.

 

I have decided for tml:  orange, classic navy, black & gold!!!

Eversince PK spoke to the congregation again about his frustrations over the response towards the Celebrity Weekend before going into sharing his actual message that week, I felt something lifted. There was an atmosphere of BREAKTHROUGH but I believe what PK said changed many minds of CHC-ers' and Christians' perspective of the media & entertainment industry. For me, I felt like it was THE MOMENT that PK spoke on behalf of many of the artsy creative individuals, including myself. No I am not a big shot YET, haha.. But I will be as long as I continue to choose to courageously walk in His will and step into my destiny. He will honour those who honour Him. I actually teared during and after PK's speech. Finally, finally..someone does understand the heartaches, the "there goes another lost sheep" stares just because we are in this industry and everything else we had and have to go through just to shine for Him. Faith inside of me increased and the actions & words of people around me also changed. Words cannot express how grateful I am towards this release of "tension". Thank you PK for the very kind understanding and encouragement.  And really, my long-standing conviction to all is that YOU CAN BE CREATIVE EVEN IF YOU CANNOT DRAW STILL STANDS.

 

Work has been abit more busy than usual as Hall of Fame Awards event draws nearer. But it has been very fun to open up each and every entry! Then it's back to recording of the entries, cooking lunch with Jennifer my boss, and viewing of the many adverts. Btw, the Hall of Fame adverts are OUT already!! You can see it on the huge 4-sheeters and parapets at Bugis mrt station. Do go and check out at Bugis!! I'll take pictures of the place to show you guys soon!

 

Have been balancing my time with work, choir stuff, tuitions, design project, Friday's nights jamming session for a purpose and family. As some of you might know, my family and I have been going through some very tough inconvenient times since I entered SOT. Things are getting better although they may not see it as clear as I do. I just wish they could see that God is in control and that His hand is at work in our lives even if we cannot seem to see Him. IT'S TIME TO PRAISE GOD!!!! STOP SULKING!!! Which part of you worrying can lessen the pain or troubles? Might as well smile and brave through the "storms" with Him. Father, I am again believing for more miracles and expecting You to manifest Your glory again for Your Name's sake.

 

Finally I've narrowed down to 2 designs for the Xmas cards. Phew.. :) 

 

Anyways XL, Disciple, Olivia & I have been going out consistently for our weekly friday suppers for 3 weeks right after cg meeting ends. XL and his Carls Jr. Haha.. Now we are branded the East Coasters, cos we always head down to East Coast Park after supper to 吹吹风, have chit-chats and bury people "alive" like last night. Hiak hiak...

I <3 my beef chilli fries! D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!~

 

A conspiracy at brew.

To aim to take as many shots of Olivia to get back at her for all the mostly unglam shots she took of us!

The sian-ed look on XL face, ha!

 

:)

 

Elvis took this pic after dinner @ Gary's, Vivocity

Q-ing up for Sentosa tix

 

You want volleyball, I give you!! After a few rounds of playing.. And yea, I was the referee too. I support the blacks, woohoo! So much for being the referee haha..

 

This is to remind myself to go and do something to my hair next week. I have waited close to 1 year!! Grace looks nice here. :)

 

 

Sentosa is never complete without a sandcastle - W138's castle!!

 

Don't be deceived. What Elvis took may look like a 无底洞.. I'm just pretending to walk on water. Heh..

Winnie Jie* just passed to me a Robinsons voucher during this Tues choir prac! Woot, thank you! :)

 

Money from a recent ushering event just came in. It took one month of waiting and processing but nonetheless it came in at the right time, just when I needed to top up my EZ-link for an important errand tomorrow but had no financial means to do so. God is always on time. :)

 

My 1st pay from IAS (Institute of Advertising) will come in by next Mon/Tues. Why? Cos after dropping in the cheque after Olivia did, I prayed & laid hands on the cheque deposit box. LOL. Disciple also helped to proof-check many times that I am submitting in correctly. :)

 

Tuition fees will come in next week too. The best part is that my Darrion boy told me excitedly that his art drawing of Bugs Bunny was selected. His eyes grew big in amazement as he told me the story from beginning to end. *smiles* Ok, the truth is, I literally drew the bunny but made him colour it so he would feel like he had played a part too.  After many lessons, managed to teach him the proper way of colouring and the different methods to achieve different effects. It got selected as a 1st winner and is now displayed at the classroom toilet for all to see! Small beginnings, aye, but I'm happy! ^^ For all those curious ones, yes I teach art lessons too. 1.5hr of art mixed in with life lessons. But most of the time, Math, Science and English are taught too.

 

Man, like I told Michelle last night, I love to surprise myself!! :D When I have cash problems, it's nice to know that I have backup funds from previous working stints. It also helps that I am so busy with work & stuff that I forget all about it and money just pops up from nowhere. Praise God!!! Hee.. :)

If you have missed out on Sun's Live Video Chat on her Facebook last night at 11pm, like I did.. Hurhur.. I was at a cg member's house and stayed overnight la.. After driving here and there, have a light supper and jalan jalan at ECP with Olivia, Sam, & XL.. By the time Sam & I were at XL's house, it was 1am le... :( But it was FUN!! :D Morning gone case le.. It is definitely good to destress especially after a very close brush with death on the road just this Mon 12+am.. I'm happy to be alive and that my mum is better now. A defending of faith indeed. 1st week of work was good. Exciting to see the first few entries for Hall of Fame Awards!! =D Thank you to the 4 mentors in my life for hearing the shocking bad news and lifting me & my family up with your prayers. :)
