Hee... Mmmm....

After being so 烦 and emo for so many days... finally..there's something to cheer me up.. hahah..
Yeah... something..that i never expected... i mean.. not so fast ba... hehee...

Well..thats why... don't ever strive for positions or glory.. just do what is placed in your hands.. stay faithful and do it with a spirit of excellence...
Promotion comes from God.. and God knows when is the best time.. to give you what you desire..

Delight yourself in the Lord..and He will grant you the desires of your heart... Ps 37:4

Yeah.. I've been enjoying myself thus far... and I thank God for the opportunity to serve Him in this manner... Thank You Jesus, for saving me... :)

It because of all of you out there... who helped me... and supported me.. that made me who I am today... Thanks to all... :)

I'm happy.. :)

-RacheL- blogged @ 2/24/2007 02:27:00 AM

I think I have the answer.
It's a negative.
It's gonna be tough... and
It's gonna hurt...
Forget it...

Btw.. this really hurts...

Woah!! So fast.. today is 初五了..
Mmm... how have I spend my past 6 days?? Hehehe.. Mmm....

除夕... Was home clearing my stuffs.. think I started at about 1plus... hahaa.. didnt wanted to do anything.. but then..the 洁屁 can't stand my own room.. ahha.. so i decided to clear my wardrobe..but then.. nothing much thrown away. Still kept most of everything..
U know...? Sometimes..after u throw them away... u'll regret.. coz..there'll be some occasion that u just need to wear that particular piece of apparel. Hahhaa.. but when u keep it... you probably dunno when you gonna wear it ever again.. hahha... well well well.. thats life... ahhahaha.. :)
After clearing.. Mum was baking her famous Pandan Cake!! Very nice okie.. found only in Yishun... nowhere in Malaysia or Batam loh... hahaha.. Check with Van for it.. ahhaha.... :P
So after she was done with her baking... i started my cleaning of the floor... yeah... then the toilet.... While i was bathing...mum & dad had their dinner.. when i was out.. they were done... so i had my dinner... yeah.. so much for Reunion Dinner.. ahhaha.. well.. when there's just 3 persons...thats what happens... used to it le... heheh.. we hang ard... then Dad went downstairs to meet his friend... then we left home at about 9plus... Did some delivery... hahaha.. then to Uncle and Auntie's house... countdown... saw some real nice fireworks....then we had prata.... oh yah.. i think i blogged about it in the previous post.. hahaa... yeah... yup.. so...that was CNY eve...

大年初一...
Oh... i guess.. I didnt mention i was on the line till 6am on CNY eve. Hahhaa.. was doing some counselling.. but so much for it.. the counselee forgot most of what we talked about.. bleah...
Could have slept more.. wahhahaha.... :)
Woke up at 9plus i think.. Mum dug me up.. time to go visiting.. and that means i only slept for 3 hours... faint.. Panda-eyed on the 1st day of CNY.. thats definitely a first time in history.. hehhee.. :)

Went to 3rd Aunt's(Mum's) place at AMK... then rushed home coz 6th Aunt's (Dad's) coming to our place... sat a while..then we left for Uncle's(Dad's) place... was there the whole afternoon.. super sianz.. coz.. nobody came... as in...really pathetic..thats what happens when the grandparents are no longer around.. it just became a quiet CNY gathering place.. halfway through...decided to jio some EG people out.. so much for organising.. after like... 50 smses... we eventually cancelled the meeting.. hahaa.... yeah... So... rot around more.. till 8plus...
We were talking about our Prata Supper the nite before.. the rest of the aunties wanted to go too... We had wanted to go Prata House at Thomson.. but.. kind cousin suggested YCK's Prata house.. Eeeeeeeeeee... not nice one... yucks... Shouln't have gone there at all... bleah.. waste money... we suggested claiming it back from cousin.. hahaha... Here's some pic.. :)
After supper.. which was like about 10pm.. we left.. halfway... an idea came to mind..they could have come my place for mahjong!! hehehe... :)

Yeah.. so i sms-ed XY and got her to get Jay... then i was driving also.. so got my cousin to help me reply sms-es.. Hahha...She's also a Sony Ericsson user... so no problem.. haha.. :)
Got XY to get FM and Ray also... but both busy.. haha... so ok loh...

yeah... So went to fetch Jay..then went to Bukit Panjang to send 6th Aunt home.. then it was almost 11pm le.. hahaha.. we sat a while.. then we went back home...
we had a problem.. only 3 persons.. so i smsed YQ on the way back... he said he dont mind!!! Wooahhh. hehehe.. yeah.. so we happily went home to wait for them to come.. XY reached about 12am.. She was at her aunt's place near my house.. and YQ came about 12plus... we were all hungry and went for Supper at Rubinah's House.. hehe.. Nice Tissue Prata.. yah.. I just had prata like 3 hours ago.. and here i am.. having prata again.. :)

Then we went back home for a few rounds of Mahjong.. Ray came at 3plus after his happenings... we continued a few rounds till 6:30am.. haha...we were playing songs on the PC and Mahjong-ing. It was rather fun.. haha.. I think I was the only person who's wide awake...th rest... all half awake.. hehe.. :)

Yup.. so XY, YQ and Ray left... Jayy stayed coz she was going to her grandma's place in a few hours time.. which is just a few blocks frm my place!! Hahaha.. :)

初二...
Yeap... I thought we could sleep till 10-11am.. but Mum called me at 8plus.. yeah..she used home phone to call my hp to wake me up.. she very cute rite... ?? hahahaa... :P
So i got up to get ready.. left Jayy to sleep a little more... when we were almost done.. got her up to eat Bee Hoon.. Mum cooked de... hehe... :)

So went out.. went to Uncle's place.. (Mum's).. both Uncles stay across a street.. not so bad.. and 1 of them stay just next block to my dear James.. hahaha.. so near rite... hehe... :)

After visiting two places.. went to AMK to visit Grand-aunt... then it was a 大出血 for mum...
There were like 20 other small little kids...and teenagers and single adults like me..wooooahh... hahahaa.... I got about 4-5 in return... poor mum.. hehehe.. :P

Then we went back home... coz godma(mum's sis) coming... so... came back to prepare...
Mum cooked.. while i slept.. ahhaa... cannot la... only slept 3 hours..cannot make it... so... i slept from 3pm..till 5plus.. till there were some knocking on the door.. ahhha.. they arrived!! And i'm still in my cute Tweety Bird nightdress.. ahhahahaha...

Yup.. said hi to them.... went to bathe... they ate..while i bathed.. again.. hahaa...
Yup...then i was out...ate..and went out.. ahhahahah.. said hi and bye to them.. sorry la... i've got prior appts le.. hehe...

Went out.. to meet up with Jayy..coz she was still at Yishun.. went down to meet Ray, Kenn and JX came along too.. we all reached about the same time.. hehe.. then we went to the foodcourt of The Cathay for dinner for some of them...then YQ came... Baotian came.. then we hang ard a little.. then went to collect tickets... And oh man.. first time in history again... by the time we went in.. we realised some of the seats have been taken.. i even questioned the person... are u sure u are sitting here?? he said yes.. he showed me the tickets... it was D10, D11 alright.. Mmm.. then we went to the other side... look around..and realised... still not right.. walked out... the crew at The Cathay were helpful..asked if he could help.. i told him.. he went in.. checked the same person's seat again.. came out..ask me to wait.. another senior crew came.. he asked if he could help..he looked at the tickets..and said.. "But Mdm, your tickets is for tuesday!"
me: today is Tue rite??
He: No mdm.. today is Monday..
me:???????!!!!!!???!?!?!?!?!?!
I suddenly remembered that when i was booking tickets.. i think i clicked on Tue 20 Feb...
But nvm.. we managed to change the tickets for 11:35pm show and we left...As it was selling fast, we definitely could not get tickets for 11 persons straight. So we were sent to fill in loop holes.. well...so much for being an usher man... tell us about it.. we are filling loop holes all our lives...waahhahah.... we were split into 4, 4, 2, 1. Not that bad la.. only the 1 abit more pathetic.. :)

After the show... Nat mentioned that she has another show to catch at 3plus.. Just Follow Law... wah... the ever enthusiastic Ray suggested we go for movie Marathon... YQ, FM & me were fine...so we ok loh... and we went.. ahhaha.. BT sent the sisters to Cineleisure..while the brothers took cab... hehehe.. had our supper at 3am in the morning at a kopitiam opposite Cine.. Super ex lo.. Char Kway Teow at $5.. faint..

Yup...then off we went for Just Follow Law.. then it was almost 6am when we left... went to the train station and took MRT back with Nat and YQ.. Long journey man. We took the 1st train.. Reached home at 7am.. Slept at 7:30am. Supposed to get up at 9am. Sms Van for morning call at 9am......

We reached at about 11am... supposed to be there at 10:30am. Hahaha.. being the wise us...we knew people would definitely be late.. ops.. did we confess what we shouldnt have..??haha... but well.. when we leave room for things to happen.. it'll happen..

We had no staple food since morning ah!! Heee.. so.. by the time they reached my place. it was almost 3:30pm le.. Mum was good too.. her portion was almost just nice. I told her 10++ people...but by the time they reached my place.. there were 20 of us.. excluding mum & dad.. everyone had a plate of nice hot, piping bee hoon and some had second serving too.. hahaha...
This shows..they were really hungry le...regardless if the bee hoon were nice or not.. ahhaha.. i was too busy at home.. forgot to take pic!!! hahaha.. :P
Oh yah. and my house became a gambling den all of a sudden.. but i guess this was where most of them really had fun playing cards.. we were at my place the longest.. till 5pm.. yah.. coz.... some people were busy la.... hahah.... bleah.. :P

Yup.. next stop.. supposed to drop by FM's place... but... due to some miscommunication.. well.. we didnt make it there... yeah... pity.. but its okie.. we'll go the next time.. find a day.. CNY got 15 days ma.. hehehe.. :P

Mmm.... Had reunion dinner.. as per normal..there's only 3 of us.. (hopefully there'll be 4 next year?? hahahah.. ) So.. we had what we had in the afternoon.. Yah.. Mum'll usually cook both lunch and dinner together.. Leftovers from lunch will be our dinner. haha..

So... finally got the mood to clear up... Cleared my wardrobe.. study table.. Bed cupboard... And.. I think.. i really need to thank God for consistency.. ahha.. Being the usual neat me.. I didnt do much... Most of the things are in order.. just some stuffs lying around.. the rest.. pretty much okay.. nothing much to throw.. only 1 small little bag of god-knows-what.. and 3 pieces of apparel. Haha.. I think I threw quite a bit last year..
My wardrobe did get fuller this year.. from the buying throughout the year.. (yeah.. like what my mum says.. so no need to get new clothes for CNY.. since I've been getting all year round.. Bleah.... )

Yup.. then online a while.. coz lazy to vacuum the house.. and Mum was baking her pandan cakes anyway.. so.. i waited till all's done..then i can vacuum and mop in peace.. hehe.. I dun like to be disturbed when i'm cleaning the floor..Especially.. if someone is walking ard!!! Urgh.. make my floor dirtier loh.. hahhaha.. I'm very fussy about that.. yah... hehe...

So after cleaning.. I went to bathe.. and mum & dad had their dinner.. when I was done.. i had my own dinner.. ahhaha.. Mmm.. yah..that was my REUNION DINNER! Hahaha....

Then went to Jurong west.. to deliver something.. ahhahaha... :P
Then to Uncle's place to deliver Syrup and Ice... for tmr loh.. all the cousins would be there.. Mum wanted to be sure that there'll be sufficient drinks and COLD drinks for all... haha....
Then to Auntie's place.. to deliver Mandarin Oranges.. Dad bought 3 boxes for his god-son aka my auntie's son.. Yah...

Counted down there.. Mmm.. nothing much.. just merely shook hands with 3 of my cousins.. then we saw some fireworks!! Sooo nice!! :D

Left at about 12plus... then i suggested going to eat Prata since we got lorry ma.. ehhe... Mum craved for her durian prata... and Dad was hungry.. so.. yayy!! hehehe... drove to Thomson's Prata House..for their fav.. Durian Prata.. yah.. i dont really fancy that though..

You fall in the middle on all measurements- sweet, wild, and unique, but not overwhelmingly so on any of those. You make a good friend, able to share your unique perspectives on things, and able to have fun without winding up in jail or something. Good job.

Phew... it's finally over... 70 years of life... gone in a flash... in a twinkling of an eye...
in a split second. Pushed in.. burnt... gone...that's it...
Yah... Mount Vernon's cremation is so fast...

Normally, the cremation service at Mandai is longer.. there'll be a service.. a last chance to take a last look.. then they'll push in... then we'll go to the viewing gallery... see the coffin being pushed in... on an automated trolley... then there'll be a time of wailing and screaming.. before.. the wooden box gets tranferred into the furnace....
This is so fast.. too fast for reaction.... but well.... I guess grandma's in better hands now.. and I look forward to seeing her in Heaven when i get there....

"If you get there before I do...don't give up on me.. i'll join you when my chores are done... I don't know how long I'll be..." - Love me... by Colin Raye...

Thanks to one and all... thanks to those who came... those who sent sms-es.. those who called... thanks for being there for my mum and me... My mum sends her appreciation to all who turned up.. You all are the best!! :D

Thursday nite... Service nite... Don't expect anyone to appear before 11pm. Or in fact, even later.. So was just there.. entertaining some of the relatives.. don't really know most of them... was sms-ing some of the people...and talking to some... haa...

Lexane came with her hubby at 6plus after her work.. so sweet of her.. she's my JC mate.. Thanks gal.. :)

First batch to appear was Terence, Van & Nat.
They were so funny.. they were not supposed to come.. coz somebody forbade them to come.
But.. being the nice people they were... they 不忍心 leave me alone.. and just wanting to be there for me...they came.. since they had free transport from Terence's CG member, who stays just opposite street!! Thank God man. :)

Next to appear was James & Rachel Tan.
Indeed, I feel so blessed... to have my team with me..
I guess more than half my team came down.. I had Kean, Soo Eng, Kenneth, Feri, James, Celeste, Rachel. In fact, they were almost all i had. Plus me and another who's heart is no longer with UM... Mmm.. and another.. who's been transferred to Sat svc... Woahh... I had my whole team came down!! I feel so loved and blessed to have them with me... Thank God! :D

Jayy was with them.. but she went home to change and then to cycle down...
When they arrived...they said the same thing. Don't let xxx know that we came okie?? Hahahha... So funny loh... MMm.. i felt..that no one has the 'right' to stop them from doing what they want lah..as long as its not against the Word of God, or sinning. Whatever we want to do... as long as we do in for the glory of God.. I think it's okay.
In fact.. i felt my section had bore a very good testimony for the past 5 days... my relatives were so amazed with the number of friends I had coming, plus knowing that they were all from Church. They were so impressed!! Managed to talk to a few.. and I hope in time to come.. I'll be able to lead them to Christ. Amen!

Yup.. last to arrive was Jul, FM & Jo..
I'm so touched to see them. Knowing that everyone is already very tired... and yet they make the little effort to come down.. they don't all stay that near, except for a few.. but it's always the thought that counts... Really appreciate it....

Something that might sound sarcastic... But something that I always believed...
有心就走得到, 做得到.
If bo sim... can say all you want.. and nothing will still happen... Don't NATO!!!
And.. don't give empty promises.. I hate empty promises.. I rather you don't tell me... and let me be happy when it happens.. than to tell me... give me false hope... then to dash my hopes....
Duh duh duh...that's so disappointing... I dun like disappointments!!!

It's very true ma... if no heart.. nothing ever will happen......

Yup... at 1plus... Vi, Kenneth, Jon & Hong came...
They stayed till 2plus and they left....

By 3am, only a small group of people were left...
Jayy, FM, James and Rachel Tan.
So nice of you all to keep me company...
But I guess I was too tired.. I fell asleep on the table... even when Kenn called... i passed the phone to them.. and i dozed off.... haha.. sorry... :)

They left at 6:30am. They wanted to leave me a note on the table.. but mum came down from her rest and woke me up... so they left.. and i went up to sleep.. for a few hours... before I woke up at 10am again.. Had a long day....

Huiming and Shuzhen came at 1plus....
Thanks Jie and Zhen.... :)
So touched to see them there... It's always nice to have the support of your leaders.. Their presence.. just make you feel... special and you know you mean something to them.. :)

Even though Jie has tuition at 3:30pm at the super far east coast..she stayed with me till 3plus... guess she must have taken cab and still a little late for her tuition. hehehe...

Yah... everything ended at 3plus..reached home at 4plus... bathed...sleep till 8pm.
Had dinner... bought 1 dress.. bought some CNY goodies... then went to another wake..
Grandaunt passed away 2 days back... and tonight is the last night as CNY is approaching...

Yup..then went to the market... haha.. Eve eve of CNY... my downstairs is always super crowded with people and stuffs.. nice to be staying here.. hehe..

Yeah... now.. I'm super tired.. need to go sleep..and replenish one whole week of sleep... tmr still need to go attend the funeral at 10am.. ooh.... *yawn*.....Zzzzzzzzzzz....................

Spending V-day without a Valentine is sad enough..let alone spending it at a wake...
How much sadder can it get?

Thanks to Soo Eng who came at 5pm. Thanks for your presence.. Really felt so loved by you..
Thanks for your Chocolate Ice Blended.. hahah... :)
So sweet of you.. :P
She stayed till 8plus... played with Gladys..

Oh yah.. the moment Gladys saw me.. she asked.."Are your friends coming tonite??"
That was so sweet of her.. So heartwarming to know that she enjoyed my fren's company and that she'll want to see them again... hee... Glad we made a difference in her life.. :)

We took more photos with SE and we had fun i guess.. though there wasnt really anything much to do.. and SE was trying her best to cheer me up.. thanks gal... :)

After she left at about 8pm.. Jo came... So surprised to see him.. Heh... It was his birthday somemore.. thanks leh.. :)
Thanks for your encouragement and words of concern... :)
He left at about 940pm to meet his friends who's gonna celebrate his birthday.
So sweet of him... thanks...

Today's a rather slow day... Time passed super slowly... and I was staring at the bus stop most of the time... Probably I shouldn't have... Then I probably wouldnt have caused any unhappiness... :/

Hey MC...thanks for your sms and call. Its okie that you can't make it last minute. I understand your load of work to do and your commitment. Your sms, call and thoughts have already touched my heart.. thanks... ;)

Zhen came too... so surprised..never expect her to turn up.. But nonetheless, thanks.. :)
She came with XY, FM and Ray at about 11:30pm.
Had a round of makan.. and we played mahjong till about 3plus....

Thanks guys for coming down.. really appreciate it....

To the rest who didn't manage to make it.. its okie... :)
Thanks for coming the past few nites too....

I'm already very thankful to God for having friends who'll stay by me and who'll be there for me... Friends who'll appear with a call...
Friends who care.. and who loves me...

Thanks to all....

And.. its during your lowest time that you see who is really your true friends....
People who claimed to be there no matter what happens...no matter how busy... never turned up at all...not even once.... but well... everyone has their own commitments and priority...

Finally...after a few weeks of pain and suffering and years of immense torture by multiple diseases, you are free from all these pain...

Having confessed Jesus, I pray that you'll have the peace of mind..

God, her children may not acknowledge You. But she did.
May her spirit find rest in Heaven...and may she be let in....

I will miss you.....

How true is the principle of sowing and reaping.
What goes around comes around.

Do unto others what you want others to do unto you.

In other words, if you don't reply sms, don't expect people to reply your sms.
If you want people to reply you, make sure you start replying people!

Whatever you don't want people to do to you, start by not doing those things to people!
And if you expect certain things to happen from people, can you ensure you are capable of doing it too??

Not talking about talents and abilities here.
And... yes... i know what i mean...

RRaaahhhhh.....

If our motives are pure our spirit will remain positive.

The pure in heart easily 'see' God.

The impure in heart are easily cynical.

Impure motivations produce botched results.

We change our motivations from;

a. Selfish Amition to Self Denial
b. Power hunger to Servanthood
c. Gain to Giving

Our commitment to Christ means we choose to do the right things for the right reasons and let the chips fall as they may.

Yes...what are our motives or rather, objectives when we do things?? what do we try to show? prove?? for whose glory?? Its amazing to see how some people can go all out... just for fame... some.. just for their own glory... but.. i do all things for His glory... Help me and teach me to stay humble... not for my own glory.. but all things... happens.. because You are with me...because Holy Spirit, You empower me! Amen!

Oh man... just when everything seems alrite...
The most unwanted thing gotta take place again.

Again.. I'm gonna face heartache. Temporal heartache.
Temporal..coz I'm human.. I'll definitely be emotional about it...
And also because I know I need to move on.. :/

It really hurts.. like what Jie said... to see your babies go.

Yah.. they ARE my babies.. my fruits..
I've seen them sprout... grow...and open up to be a beautiful 'plant'??

And now... they gotta be unrooted....and be planted in another pot....

God!!!

But I know.. greater things are in store for them.. and i know... they'll be able to shine even brighter, no matter which pot they'll be planted in.

Bless them richly and cause them to grow up to the next level Lord... Amen!!

-RacheL- blogged @ 2/05/2007 12:31:00 AM

Ahhhhhh.... stop craving for nice food!! Awwwwwww........ how difficult that can be..... :/

One plus one equals two.

Do things by the numbers.

Be methodical.

Be systematic.

Don't be overwhelmed by the problem.

Do each step of a methodical, systematic solution.

Do this and then that.

See this person, then that one.

Do a kindness to someone and they will be endeared to you.

Be unkind and they will be estranged from you no matter how polite they are.

Even though each step may not seem to achieve much.

All the steps will ultimately add up to a positive solution.

Amen.. I always love to receive Pst Phil's Leadership files..
Always so timely and so encouraging.. :)
Yeah!! :)

I love my team..and i hope to see everyone grow to the next level.

Amen! :)

Team E - Enthusiastic, Energetic, Exuberant!!! :D
