Fly to where you should be
Shooo, this verse spoke to me afew days back and unknowingly, it has been on my mind these while.
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in love, in faith and in purity."
1 Timothy4:12
And another thing that spoke to me this week would be that a hurried life would mean an unexamined life. And when self-examination is out of our lives, we tend to lose focus on our life's purpose or to put it simply, for whom we are living for. Last Sunday's speaker went on to say that Godliness is not just about holy behaviour but rather an inner devotion to God in which we should be man and woman after God's own heart. Is God the centre of your life, your family, your friends, workplace, school?
Last Saturday was the day where my emotions started to erupt for reasons I do not know. It just came and ruin my day and then it went away.
That's Gin, Christine, Sonia, Sze Ling and me. Actually I was thinking if I should be present for Sonia's bdae party. After sorting my thoughts, I decided not to go. But then again, after an hour or so, I made up my mind to go. This time round, S (not in picture) accompanied me!!! Thanks. It was a great time of fellowship. And we felt that we have matured so much because our conversation now is about career and marriage. Haha. Cool beans. Notorious people like us in the past have become demure, young ladies. =)

Some random stuff
******************
Aloysius: What do you want for your birthday?
Me: No need la...anything also can
Aloysius: A bottle of my blood?
Me: Sure. But aren't you going to choke me then?
Aloysius: Haha, then what?
Me: Haha
Vivocity isn't that good to shop at all. There's indeed lots of shops but the things are not that cheap after all. And shops like aldo, guess, G2000 can be found in Orchard. But what's interesting about Vivocity is the Food Republic at the last level. I like the concept and the layout. It's really cool. And while places like Kopitiam and Banquet plays pop music at the background, here, we get to hear teochew and hokkien music. Even simple food like beef noodle looks so nice.

In Christ Alone where love and joy abounds
Woke up today with much joy in my heart. I cant really describe that inner feeling but i know that God has placed that peace, that love and that joy in my heart. And now, as I'm typing my blog, with some christian musics being played at the background, this feeling is simply awesome. I hope this lingering feel would just go on and on.
"Each time I think of You the praises starts"
"Love You so much, Jesus, love You so much"
"How my souls longs for You, longs to worship You forever, in Your power and majesty"
"In Christ alone
I placed my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope, is Christ alone"
Take me deeper Lord!
The beginning of this week was spent at the Botanic garden with Jeany. We were really that close to creation. Everything's so bright and beautiful. We often take things for granted. The trees of the fields, the birds, the fresh air and yes, even our lives as well. It's good at times to get out of our overly stressed lives and come close to nature. It's indeed therapeutic.
1 more week to slack before I start working again. This time round in CPF board. Hopefully I can get something out of it. 10 more days and I'll know the outcome.
And yes! The dance steps that seemed oh so impossible to me is starting to fade. And Eve is just so happy over her small little achievement. =)
Going for another friend's 21st birthday this Sat. Excited! Excited! Excited!
Vivocity. Wait for me. I'll be there later at 4pm.

Beyond the horizon
I'm getting more and more mad at myself cos I feel that I'm at a point where I cant understand myself anymore. Nothing seems to interest me really and I'm so tired of everything. I'm numbed! Funny isn't it? When at times you experience something good and you feel as if you are on top of the world. But at certain times, when something, perhaps a minute thing hit you hard right at your face, you start to grumble and complain, hoping to get that ass out of you. (Just wanting to vent my anger here, pardon me).
***********************************************************************************
I cant believe how can one not give a damm to someone who comes all the way from Myanmar to work and yet not pay attention to their personal welfare. Not blaming the general public, but in particular, the Organisation these Myanmar girls are attached to. The employers always put a false front to people around, wanting people to perceive them as someone of great accomplishments, but these are all nothing but craps. They are a whole load of inhumane creatures. I feel that the treatment they give to foreigners who come here to work is really disgusting. These Myanmar girls knew before the start that coming to Singapore to work wont be an easy thing to do. However, they took up the offer simply because they need to send back their hard-earned money back to their hometown. They got to do lots of additional work that was not written in the contract at all, they were underpaid but the employer totally disregarded their countless efforts. The agreement of having 10 days annual leave was striked off in the end simply because they are here to work and not to play. This remark makes me even more pissed with the company and the way they handle things. Was talking to my friend yesterday, and she's in this situation now. Through this conversation I had with her, I felt that Singaporeans are not that cultured anymore as compared to before. See how they treat foreigners and you will know. I guessed people tend to treat you according to your background. Like the way you speak, dress and look.

Chill up
Little surprises here and there just makes me go wild...maybe not to the extent that I'll start doing silly stuffs but yeah, being a happy cow. I'm enjoying every bit of what life can bring...even though I'm way behind time in getting a good job and settling down in the working society.
Last Saturday was spent at Seamas' 21st birthday party. Yeah, that's him above...the guy who never fails to make me laugh in Secondary school...the guy who never fails to liven up the atmosphere of the class. I was kind of excited when my good friend 'A' said that he would accompany me to the chalet upon telling him that I don't have any idea where it was. However, due to unforseen circumstances, I went there alone in the end. I was glad that I met Li En at Pasir Ris Mrt station and we went in to Aloha together. Before that I was just whinning to my friends that I don't know the way in and I'll definitely get lost if I were to go in on my own.
I am thankful that boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places (Psalm 16:6). Sometimes, due to human desires, we tend to cross over these boundary lines that in actual fact leads to so much displeasures and dangers. I'm glad that God reminded me of Hs promise once again.
My sis and I were just comparing between the Ah Bengs and Ah Lians of our times. Here they are.
Here's the characteristics of Ah Bengs....
1. use gell on hair until we don't see any fringe
2. wear bell bottom pants till they literally sweep the floor.
3. For those who want to leave a fringe on themselves, their hair would be long and fringe would resemble a mop
4. shirts are tucked out
5. wear metal chains
6. poke axe brand inhaler into their nose, 'pretending' that they have a cold
7. grow long finger nails, especially the little finger
8. leave a pleated 'tail' sticking out of their sometimes neatly cut hair
9. switching on their handphones to super loud SMS 'special' ringtone
10. hane bright dazzling lights that 'absorb' radiation stuck on their handphones
11. Have lots of neoprints with 'buddies'
12. carry long wallets and have sharp edged combs
Here are the characteristics of Ah Lians...
1. Grow 2 strands of fringe that stream down the side of their faces
2. put on hairband that don't seem to be helping push up the hair
3. put on super thick make up
4. have more than 1 earholes per ear, the more the better
5. tuck in school uniform very tightly in
6. fold the waistline of school skirts up till it's very short
7. wear long socks
8. likes bright red assessories
9. wear tight elmo and cookie monster t-shirts
10. bell bottom pants and halter neck and toga blouses
Where have all the Ah Bengs and Ah Lians gone to?
