In reverend awe of my Maker
Meet Daniel, he is one of immense faith and courage. He had the favour of many kings, which also lead to many other people disliking him and are even jealous of him. Think about how we can be like Daniel, especially in today's society whereby there are so many idols that can take precedent over our lives?

My cousin gave birth a few days back on the 27th! Her daughter's name is Devonshyre. Wow honestly I've never heard of that name! But anyway I am really looking forward to seeing the baby gal :)

Late night movies with the family is becoming the norm. Tonight is another of such nights. No need to worry about safety when heading home nor ridiculously set curfews. We watched the next three days at vivocity. When alissa said the beginning was draggy, she didn't exaggerate at all. It was reaaaally boring at first with all the trial and error and precise planning. I really take my hat of to whomever this brainchild is. Breaking out from a prison is no easy feat (unless by the power of God; see paul & silas' story), and the plot is pretty simple yet rich. Amazing!

Time for bed, mumsy asked me why I had slept so early last night. Attempting to sleep duper early now onwards! God bless!

Swirl of happiness
milkshake dream

Milkshakes are one of my favourite comfort drinks. Avocado, banana, icecream shakes... You name it. I love the creamy texture and thickness of the drink, simply pleasurable. One of my favourite hangouts when I am out with Chari is Swensen's! We can spend hours chatting there over a glass of icecream shake/rootbeer float.

For some reasons I feel slightly disengaged about Sunday today. But one thing I definitely enjoyed was fellowship with my gals Cass & Rachie, and the short touch & go with Han Rong & his two good friends - Justin & Wilson. Didn't go for youth service today, told Stephen I couldn't be on duty as I had my final vocal lesson for the year today. I have certainly learnt much about breathing techniques and breathe management from Ms Karen Tay. It was especially refreshing to attend class today as she went through my favourite singing topic - harmony. I am extremely blessed to be able to harmonize naturally without much effort needed. Singing with Ms Karen was so surreal, especially when she harmonized with me. It was beautiful... though I would very much like to be singing the alto part instead.

Pleased with myself, I did vetting & editing for an important document last night. I will not divulge what that was for security purposes. I know my work will impact & help my friend. Instead of seeing it as a favour being done, I was actually really joyous and willing to do it. Praise the Lord.

I will be scooping icecream @ Island, Serene.
Yes I am going back to work, opening at the main outlet with Uncle Stan. Am kinda excited but nervous at the same time. Yeah it's ironic since I am one of the long service staff at Island. Oh well I pray everything will be fine & dandy tomorrow!!! :)

Maybe I'll ask my aunt if her office needs a part timer...

Han Rong's 2nd Bookout!
Taken in March 2009 @ Timbre The Substation

This boy is my polytechnic coursemate whose also one of my closer guy friends. He enlisted 8th November and today was his second book out. Today was also the very first time I saw him with his clean-shaven head. Very very adorable-cute!

Sakae Sushi ala carte at White Sands shopping centre & we bumped into Teck Hui and his gf Stephanie! My friendship with Teck Hui dates all the back to secondary school days when he was classmates with me from sec 1-4 :O *shudders* lol thankfully he wasn't in any of my classes in NP even though we were also coursemates. Teck Hui has certainly grown a lot in terms of maturity and size (ok he shrunk, becoming much fitter). Things the national service put you through. Han Rong has also became a lot more animated about his experience in BMT. Gosh I am kinda glad for the stuff he's going through in there but I pray for his safety! Field camp for the boys next week.

Anyway I bought my 2011 planner yesterday, I got fed up with the crazily inflated prices of my usual organizer so I decided to splurge a little more for a better quality one. Afterall the designs for the usual one I have are getting more ridiculous zzz!

Meet my red grandluxe monologue planner, it's 12.20SGD but so far I'm very pleased with it!

In contrast to my '10 planner

I have written birthdates in already and am eagerly awaiting 2011 to arrive.

Meanwhile, Christmas and New Year's first. Am really looking forward to the celebrations at church! :) Praise the Lord for my splendid 2010!!!!!

World Kindness Day
I played my little part in the World Kindness Movement.



The slogan for the campaign was to give the daisy away to make someone else's day, I was not aware of it until the end of the day when I stumbled upon the Facebook event!

Beautiful Yellow Daisy Gerbera (s)

Okay so here's what happened:
I was on the way to meet Charissa for tea when I saw a long line at the Singapore Kindness Movement booth at Toa Payoh Bus Interchange. Out of curiosity I went nearer, but before you accuse me of being kiasi, I walked past it partially because I needed to use the lavatory too!

Volunteers were giving out yellow gerbera daisies, and I decided to join the queue to get two for Chari and I. After receiving my flowers and doing my business, I headed over to Ion Orchard to meet the lady. She was waiting for me already. I passed her one stalk and kept the other for myself.

While we were walking around in Ion, we were stopped by a Caucasian who inquired about the flowers. Apparently we weren't the only ones seen carrying it. I offered him my stalk but he declined it. After explaining the reason, he gladly accepted my flower. It was my tiny gesture of kindness to this man and I am sure he was happy to be blessed by me. I, as the giver, also experienced exuberant joy for giving away a small part of my happiness!

Chari asked me why I gave him my only flower, I couldn't give her a concrete answer but that I would have made that man's day. Stranger or not, I am sure he was touched and I am praying he'll pass on the kindness to someone else too (doesn't have to be giving the flower away).

So people, I hope my short story inspired some to pay it forward. You don't have to receive first to give love. There is joy in giving abundantly and I can testify to that.

Well, of course there were some ugly behavior I found intolerable. A number of older folk & housewives were misusing the kindness act by queuing up over and over again to get many more daisies. I found that hugely unethical and pretty disgusting, that I will really label kiasu! Seriously, the more daisies you take, the more you're depriving someone else more needy! Afterall the many daisies you've collected will just end up in your flower pot and will rot someday soon, why not let the daisies please a far wider range of people? One is definitely enough happiness/kindness for you!

Aiya, this sort of intrinsic feeling cannot be measured nor put in words, some of you will disagree with me, but those words were spoken from my p.o.v.

Nonetheless, stay cheery everyone! A cheerful heart is good medicine! :) God bless!

Complete Hollywood (Abridged)

Meet my classmates! (L-R: Latashni, Rachel, Timolty, Amos, Danial & Ian)

Been on a 5 month self declared sabbatical. Pardon my absence, please.

I have refrained from blogging as I decided that my mundane activities were not worth recording here. Anyway just an update, I'm schooling at SMa doing a Murdoch University program. My degree is Communications, majoring in Public Relations (PR) and Communication & Media Studies. It's a double degree program.

I am doing well in school, my grades are all above credit & within the distinction/HD range. I really pray that I can keep up with such grades. Need to be consistent.

Been growing so much and by God's grace I am so thankful for all I've gone through. Memories, sweet or bitter, all play a part in nurturing who I am right now. I can safely say that I've matured.

I have a clearer picture of my goal in life, I know what I am looking for in my future and for my future. Now all I need is a focused heart and mind and perseverance to run the race with joy. Please pray alongside me, thank you! B)

In case you're wondering, the title of my post is a comedy I was treated to by another classmate. It was held on 3rd Nov, Wednesday, at Raffles Hotel Jubilee Hall. Just beside my school too! :P I brought my family along too. I really enjoyed the show, it was downright funny. Anyway, the picture above was taken after the show. I am actually the youngest, amongst the other girls who were born in 1990 too. The boys are range from the age of 21-25!

I am indeed very blessed!

B heh, sorry my reply came half a year late! :P
Pastor G haha yeah I wish I could say that, but thank God He gave me intellect! :)
Jedi Blogged, as you wish! See you tomorrow!

Vanny I don't have the BB service yet, but I'll give you my pin when I see you, ok?
