Princess Turns 21

Yes, late entry, been busy with work.
Had a very memorable 21st party! All thanks to my family for all the planning, and my lovely friends for attending (: Oh man... 21 ><>
My mum booked a small chalet at Costa Sands Resort at Pasir Ris. It looked really plain and crampy on the first day, but the next day, when my brother and future sis-in-law decorated the place, it looked lovely and sooo ME! Hahaha. Yeah, I like pink =P However, black AND pink. So yes, that is the theme of moi's party (: Hehes. And I insisted being princessy and got a real tiny tiara hairband. Though was bimbotic but so what, it was my day! =D Ahaha.
Me, 21!!!!



Meet my dearest party planner! Love you gor and owe you big time. Being in PR/mar comm, I promised him that I'll be his wedding planner. Muaha!


The set designer! Aww... She gave me a bouqeut! Added to my royal day ^^


I like this pic with my dad (:


On my birthday night, we had a simple but yummy dinner at the Manhattan Fish Market.


I was surprised and extremely touched by Dor and Ting. They actually blessed me with such a big gift! Or rather, gifts. We went shopping a day before my birthday and got me a really, really pretty black dress, earrings from River Island and shoes (yay). Love them!!! The next morning, went to the beach and walked with my grandmother, then had lunch with her. It was nice (: Hardly spend time with her. When I returned, I was stunned at how pretty the place has turned! It was beyond my expectations.

How pretty is the background?!! Really want to thank my mum for being so generous in throwing me this party at quite a big scale (((:


Glad that my grandma enjoyed herself (: I was afraid that she'll be bored. According to many of my friends, she is adorable! Lol. She is, but can get on my nerves... Sometimes =P


CHC-ians!


480 and 452 ^^ Well, not all came down, but was happy to see these people who came all the way down from JW. So touched.


Love this pic that Josh took!! SO SO pretty!!! He was pretty much my official photographer and one of the person who help me to contact people (: Big thanks!

So funny!!! My family got me a Tweety Bird cake!! Oh man..! Hahaha.. Long story of my childhood xP

I LOVE W331!!!!! They gave me the gorgeous ZARA jacket which I had my eyes on. Yes, I screamed like an insane person. But come on, ZARA!!! xD I did not expect it AT ALL. I LOVE THEM TONS!!!

Received a sexy tube dress from 480!! It has Maple written all over it xD But, me like! But... Whoah.. I haven't try it on yet, but it looks... Tight =

Rouxin, PB, Fuzhi, Cindy and a few others got me a very awesome bag from Topshop!! Ahhhh!


CLASS 5-3!!! The memories...


Haha. WRS! And they are all CHC-ians too! Woohoo!

Josh brought along his Wii set, and guess what, my mum liked it!! She is now so tempted to buy!!! I hope she caves in to the temptation =P


Party scene.

Aiyo, more Wii-ing! Lol.
After showering and cleaning up, few of us headed down to the beach. It was lovely! I love the beach at night; stargazed, listened to the soothing waves and seeing the tide slowly coming in. Just admiring God's wonderful creation ((: Of course, we had fun nonsense-ing around and just chat randomly. The next day, rushed down for service to Expo, and PTL, Jing Ying came to service with us and she said the sinner's prayer!!!! A great birthday gift to me (: I'm gonna continue to keep her in prayer. After service, fellowshipped with Cindy, Tong, Ying and Joel at Bedok. The food was goooood. Then, hanged out with Ying till about 4.30pm. Had lots of fun with her. She's just uber humourous. Love her!
Had an unforgettable birthday...
Suddenly feel Your peace; no hesitation in surrendering at all. Am amazed and impressed at myself. Perhaps this is what living in complete faith feels like. Thank You for being my source of peace, for taking my burdens and for Your love for the past 21 years. The next 70 years, my life is Yours; trusting You wholly. At least the next five years, I believe, migthy and great things will come; Your promise and vision for me will come to pass and I will do great things for You.

Miaculously, my company's network did not deny me from uploading the photos; usually it does. So yay, with access free time on my hands, I can blog about the fun things last week (: Firstly, went to MIND Cafe with my lovely budds from my school to have a farewell thing for Ana, plus celebrate Ponco's 21st. It was nice to see people I haven't seen for quite some time, though not everyone could make it, and Hammond had to leave really early. Still, we had a blast =D I couldn't believe that some of them never played Taboo before O.o They got addicted to it later xD I have to say, we rocked at it xPP A bunch of Commies playing word-related games.. Muahah. But, the way Ponco played was super funny! He even used bahasa xD Lmao.





21!! Man, his mom's present to him is a vacation to New Zealand = *stunned* My goodness! That's a beyond awesome gift! He's there now.. Enjoying *envious*

Look at our cluttered table xD What civilised people! Lol.

Look at the card for Ana =D I'm so glad that I managed to scrap through and did it quite well =D Hehes, you know, my "arty-crafty" skill isn't one of my best attritbutes. Aww... I miss her already ): I hope she's fine there and not too lost or overwhelm by any culture-shcok... So sad that I couldn't send her off ):


The annual Valentine's Day!! Another great sermon by Pastor. Looking forward to know points 4 and 5. Wahah! Yayie, we all got a flower (: A real nice gesture from Benny. I played a part too. I gave everyone chocolates! Haha.. Well, let me confess and believe that this is my last Valentine of being single! Or, second last. HAHA. Amen!

Gave Rou a heart-shaped lolli; shows my much appreciate lurve to her ((:

SAMMY! Yeah, back finally! ^^

I miss this sexy kitten here >< Hahaha.. Yeah, Chris lookin' hot!!


Had a short fellowship with these lovelies here. Though I wished it was longer and that more people were there ): Okay we'll make it a point to crash to Elyn's place asap!


Then watched Valkyrie with Sammy. A remarkable movie! It has so much depth to it, plus based on a true story. And I always have a thing for history; it really intrigues me. Tom Cruise outdone himself. Great for him, as he has been doing mindless movies which don't showcase his acting skills. Haha, I like the word "Singapore" in the background, what a nice touch and how appropriate! Hahahas.
Am still waiting for Cindy to upload the photos we took after CGM... Hehehe... Yeah, such coincidence that her birthday falls a day before mine!! Awesome! So yesterday, she invited many of us plus the leaders for a dinner at Ma Maison, Central. Its ambience is really, really romantic and cosy. A great place for a date! Haha. We had a blast last night, and Dy Highness looked so sweet and royalty ^^ Funnily, we have the same concept in our parties! Wahah! Great minds think alike =PP Yeah, can't emphasise how much fun we had laughing, I think we literally brought the restaurant down with thunderously loud laughter xD Chris and Josh missed out so much )): Anyways will upload the photos soon and talk more! (:

Realised that it's been nearly two weeks since my last post. Well, been packed with many, many things. Hardly get any rest, but I feel that I've been fruitful (:


Really want to thank God for this internship with SAFRA. Yes, though sometimes I dread working, as being a student totally rocks more (haha), but it is an opportunity which many of my classmates long for. And I am extremely thankful for this. I received so many open doors and tasks which I am able to use the talents that God has given to; they definately have added value into my portfolio, which was pretty non-existent. Yeah, with these experiences I have on my belt, I can have greater influence in the marketplace and be more blessed financially! In turn, I can bless others more and increase my giving capacity to Heavenly Dad! Man, a year more and work will be permanent, and I'll be a full-fleged working adult =\ My parents expect me to find a stable job once I graduate, however, I really, really, REALLY hope that by God's grace I can enter SOT in 2010... I truly desire that the vision I had will come to pass. If finances doesn't allow, I have to wait till 2011 then. But, by faith... *nod* Can't believe that my internship is ending in two-weeks time, and I'll be TWENTY-ONE this Friday!!!!!! *giant gasp* Wow... the big two-one. A year older means a level up in wisdom and a new chapter of my life.... ((: Wonder what God has in store for me, but, I believe there is more and they will be greater, plus, I can be mightier for Him! (((:


Many wonderful things have happened for the past couple of weeks, all thanks to God for His blessings, His love and His assurance. Firstly, I am SOOO happy and proud that I've attended four sessions of prayer meetings!!! *applause* It is a breakthrough for me, because I used to only attend three or less sessions, and yeah, that week was great. Felt God totally, receieved revelations upon revelations, soaked myself in His love, communed with the Holy Spirit, built up my inner Spirit-man. For the past week, I had to reach office earlier (make that "earliest") and complete my work with such speed and accuracy in order for me to leave work at 5.30pm to catch the bus to Riverwalk. Seriously, my office is so annoyingly ulu! Very inconvenient as the bus takes ages to come ): *breathe... two more weeks* Hahas. But yeah, how I wish there can be prayer meetings everyday (: Received a confirmation on the vision I had from God on Tuesday's leaders meeting, and tears just began to pour. One of Pastor Kong's favourite phrase was from the movie, Spiderman - "with power comes great responsibility". Cheesy, I know xD But, it is true. And I totally agree... Sometimes, the responsibility can feel so heavy and burdened. Also, received some harsh discipling on one of the days. Yes, I admit I was troubled and affected by it, still, I know it was purely out of love and expectations on me. Regardless, I shall fight on and continue to serve Him (:


On Thursday, SAMMY IS FINALLY, FINALLY BACK HOME!!! *thunderous cheer* Disappointly, yet as expected, my parents disallowed me from going to pick him up at the airport, as it was too late. Anyways, called him and it was awesome to hear his voice. Hours later, we met up after morning prayer meeting (again, proud of myself that I woke up, though I was late >< still, I would have kicked myself if I miss that session, because Ps. Meng actually ministered to the congregation, and man, Holy Spirit's power was overwhelming). For a minute, I couldn't spot him in the auditorium, and once I did, just ciong-ed to him and gave him a big, giant, warm, full-of-love hug! Along with seeing his horrendous hair D: Man, it was BAD! Looked like a bowl xPP Glad that he cut it in the daytime before meeting the rest of his new cell members. I mean, his image would have been tarnished xD Lol. Yeah, he finally met Cindy in person, plus some others and fellowshipped over breakfast at Second Best. Yes, yes, I acted like a spoilt brat and wanted an atas breakfast at Mac. Aww.. I was so pampered. He treated me! Then fellowshipped till rather late and yeah, I dragged myself unwillingly to work afterwhich. I soo wanted to talk to him for hours and hours. But, there is always the next day (which, he was late, and we did not lunch together, and he had a cheeseburger on the bus on our way to church. Tsk tsk, he's loading himself up with fastfood). So yes, saw him on Sat in church, and felt... Weird! Haha.. It's been six months. But, Sunday's outing with half of W331-ians were whole lot of fun! Though all of them had plans and had to cut short the fellowship, it meant we could have our first movie together! Wahaha. Like we said, first of many to come. Akan datang! Hahahas. Suddenly got reminded by that funny moment when we bumped into Tong. Man... Embarrasing moment... Lol. Oh yeah, saw JH gor gor, wow, he was wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt. Waahhh... Uber atas xDD Everyone has changed.


I still have tons and tons to talk about!!!! So much to add on to my fellowship with Sammy; Ana's farewell party cum Ponco's 21st celebration at MIND cafe; Valentine's; my cell pre-celebrating my 21st... Plus, all the photos we took. Alright, I shall stop slacking here and get back to work >< Tonight, I shall upload all the pretty photos and talk more... That is, if I'm not too tired. But, I'm excited about our second official connect-group outing later! Yes, at MIND (you must be thinking I am crazy), but the rest, apart from Rou never been there. So yeah, will have fun later =DD

Had a great weekend of fun with my family and W480. On 31st Jan, it was my grandmother's 68th birthday! Two more years and it's time to make it a grand celebration for her (: Well, this year, as always, it was a simple one like she requested. But an occasion like such calls for good food which satisfy my tummy. So rushed down after an awesome service by Pastor Kong and joined my family. We went to a Thai-Chinese seafood place at Yishun. Nice and sinful, as always..

"We are ageing! ARGH!"

On Sunday, Rou planned a different cgm which is more fun and bonded us. She booked a treehouse-hut kind of thing at the Civil Service Clubhouse at Bukit Batok. I like the place alot! We were like surrounded by nature and God's beautiful creation. We 'laoed' Yushen, and it was the same Yushen that I had from Sakae Sushi. One blunder we made was sooo funny. We all commented with disappointment that it was too dry. After we are done, I helped to clear, then, lo and behold, I found the source of what caused the dryness of the yushen. There was another container of sauce!! Instead of two, we only poured one! Lol!!! A bunch of blur people xDD Besides Yushen, everyone played their part and brought food. Was so glad that Angela's friend, Mike joined us. He has become so open to church and has been very regular! Praise God for that!

Preping the Yushen



More preping...


Again, huat ah!! Big money, big money xDD


It was fun celebrating with my still rather new cell. It is events like this that we can get to know each other more and grow closer. All thanks to Rou!! ((: After eating, we headed down to the bowling alley, and we saw three monitor screens with "RESERVED EMMA" and we laughed our heads off!!! Yes, Emma refers to Rouxin!! Lol. Sounded so bimbotic xDD We are a bunch a easily-amused people xD Hey, like me! =D

Guess what?? I had such a breakthrough!!! I actually scored 78 for my first game!!!! I used to score like 41 XD I have come a long way. Whaha! So proud of myself!


Oh, saw this super, duper, uber adorable little boy playing around at the bowling centre. He's so so so cute!!! Angela and I went crazy over how cute he was. His parents were nice too, allowed us to play with him. I couldn't resist but I had to take a photo with him. Angela did too! Lol.


Angela and Jiancong says he looks like my son!!! O.O Hahaha.. I don't mind my future son looking so cute =P
