"Your Faithful Child"

A song which says it all... =)

Imagine living without
Without Your love
My life would tumble down
My joy will cease
I will never be able
To be who I am, where I am

Chorus
I love You
I love You Lord
I love You
With all of me
Who am I that You love me so
I wanna lay down my life
And be called Your faithful child

You hold my world in,
In Your hands
I trust in You Father
Every step of the way
I believe that You are
Always there, carrying me

Bridge
I will follow You O God
Even if people call me fool
I will never stop reaching out to You

Rejoice in Every Single Thing

Nothing special has been going on... Things has been good; everything's been smooth-sailing; am hanging in there in my assignments and work because of His strenght and endurance. Am being blessed abundantly; everything's peaceful. Indeed, God is my peace. Am closer with Him than ever; receiving revelations; gaining more underdstanding in the Word; learn more about life and my weaknesses.

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and celebrate.

Oh, I have low iron level. Found that out when I finally gotten the guts to go donate blood. Shucks... I got free iron tablets though xD But still haven't take any... Ah well. Dor went for facial session with me today. Breakthrough for her!! Ahahaha. The pain.... The torture... A monthly sacrifice I must go through to have nice complexion. Well, what's in the inward must shine onto the outward. Amen? =D

I Feel..... Oh So Blessed

I can't say 'thank yous' for trillion, kezilions times enough to You. Your love and blessing to me are so overwhelming. Your embrace is amazing; just to feel Your touch again make me feel like no one compares to You; no fathers are better than You. All these are not by coincidences or by my own strenght, but by the works of Your Spirit.


Since I've gotten the job, my family has been so supportive. My mom blessed me with several office wears, and more $$! =D She's really been there to advice me on the working environment, and she even prayed for me... And a mother's prayer for her child is truly powerful. I LOVE YOU MOM!! I thank God everyday that you are my mummy. Yes, no one's perfect but you've been fulfilling your role as a wonderful mom ^^


Today was the first day of work. After a rather long time, I woke up at 7am. Hehe... No more staying up late from now onwards =( Again, woke up like zombie panda, cos slept at 2am last night. But I was excited to go to work. However, to dress up, make up and walk around in heels (standing all the way from Woodlands to Chinatown... in HEELS. Pure torture...) are a chore. Though I have to admit, the feeling's gooood. Hahah. I feel so grown up. Heh. Work was great. I had to do paperwork, sorting out mails/emails, contact couriers (the first time!), pick up calls, filing, try my best to exhibit servanthood and pay attention to nitty-gritty details. Well, start with small and humble beginnings. Servanthood will open up my destiny! My boss is so nice! And so is other colleagues; they are friendly as I am just a rookie. And Joanna, who is mentoring me as a senior really guided me and preped me so well. I learnt alot in one day. I really enjoyed myself and applied my fetish for organising paperwork. Mmmm... Organising... Laughs. Can't wait to go beyond the admin work and really get involve in the marketing/comms aspect to gain knowledge and application :) Really thank God for such favour of men, for His wisdom upon me, and His discernment. Day 2 begins in 11 hours...


All I desire is to make You so proud of me; to shine for You; to glorify You; that I will be an honourable daughter in Your eyes; that one day when I see You face to face and finally embrace You in my arms, that one sentence from You will make everything worthwhile - "well done, My good and faithful servant." O, how my soul longs for that day.

I Hate Goodbyes

Sammy has left the building (I just have to add in this cheesy line)... I mean, Singapore. He's off to Taipei for SIX months for his attachment. SIX months without my dear little brother :( Oh man.. I miss him already. He's been such a close friend to me. Us two crazy people constantly laughing and confiding in each other in our problems. Great.. Now I feel like crying. Managed not to cry while sending him off at the airport this morning. I felt so sad while seeing him leaving from the checkpoint to board the plane. Then, during lunch at Popeye's with the rest of the gang, it felt weird without his presence there with us. I could feel my tears welling up while queing to buy the food; him not being there during service also felt like something's amiss. Argh! I sound so emo xD


I sound like I'm holding him back. Haha. But, it's a great opportunity and experience for him. I wish I have the chance to go on-campus at Aussie.. Now thinking that how much I'm gonna miss my family, spiritual family (esp!!) and my dear friends, perhaps it's best I stick around. Or else I'll be emo again, and fill 10 buckets up with my salty tears.

Love ya dik Sammy! God's with you every step of the way! Stay strong yea! HUGS~

I Thank You Lord

PRAISE THE LORD!!! I love, love, love You Father!! After many weeks of deciding and prayer, He has answered me beyond what I expected. That's what He does, catching me off guard sometimes, but in a good way. I've gotten a part-time job with the help of my Heavenly Father and earthly father too! Not just any ordinary part-time jobs which involve retailing, standing at the cashier, and always "wishing to be anywhere else but here" kind of jobs. But, my dream job! I will be working at Sopexa, a France-based company which manages the marketing and communications aspects of French winery, produce, and cordinates events such as French fairs at convention centres. I am super excited at this wonderful opportunity to gain experiences in the field which I am studying. For now, I will help out at the administrative area, but according to my senior, they will need me to be involve in writng the company newsletter, Salut, press releases, and the next PR event. Excited yet nervous. At the back of my mind, I fear that I am not capable enough. Studying and application is a world of difference...


I couldn't sleep on Tuesday night, was so nervous at the thought of my first interview the following day. I got at most three hours of sleep, and I woke up looking like a Zombie Panda (the horror version of Kung Fu Panda xD). Thank God for the invention of make-up. I looked fresher after that. Haha. Had a hard time finding the office, got lost a little, but I found it eventually, and wasn't late for the interview. *phew*. Being late for interviews is a big no-no. I liked the environment and the people. The boss is nice too :) The interview was really casual and informal, and she did not even ask for my resume (which took me hours to prepare). I will start work on Monday morning. On top of that, having an income of my own is definately a plus. I'm glad to lessen my parents' financial burden. So for now, mummy, you just have to pay my school fees =D Hehehe. Furthermore, Arise and Build, here I come with my hard-earned money!!!!


Big, big thank you to my dear CG for praying for me =) I love you W331! You rule!


Now that I need to juggle work and study, I have increased motivation to complete my assignments before the deadline and to give it my best. I have three assignments to chiong on. I can do it with His strenght! I can expand my capacity!


Went for dinner at New York New York with Simin and Chris. World, let me announce a comment that made by Simin on me: you slimmed down!!!!!!! Muahahahahahaha!!! Woohoo! Efforts does pay off! But, not much effort leh.. I have been eating alot. Had dinner with CG at Botak Jones on Tuesday night! Feeling oily (quoting Sammy. Haha). Anyway, had a fun girls' night out, though would have been more fun if Riny could join :( We ordered baked mussels which were divine, jiggy piggy (should be juicy piggy xD), good ol' pizza and mudpie (which I did not like. I stopped after two spoons...). Thank you Chris for paying off my outstanding amount. I stupidly thought I brought the right amount of cash =.= We took pictures! A pretty picture of a FREE cotton-candy! Haha. Taste better when it's free doesn't it. Will post the pics when I get them. Oh Chris........??

I Am Part of the Family

Again, has been quite a long time since my last entry. Either do not have the mood or time to do it. Well, assignments been flooding it. I was quite dissapointed at myself on my last Media, Culture and Power assingment as I was so silly to thought that the due date was a few days later. I just felt like kicking myself. I handed it in a day later, and got the 2% penalty for late submission. Positively, I'd rather hand in a quality work late than rushing it and hand it on time but with low quality. Now again, I feel like kicking myself because I do not have an idea for my next feature article piece. I do have a few, but, need to make sure it'll be a good one. And time is ticking away. Oh man, I really need to improve on my time management. I need to be more organised and buck up! Need to remember to do all things with excellence, i.e., exceed my expectations. And this semester, I have not been fulfilling that at all. Sorry God, for not doing my best to shine for You. I need to glorify You and be a much better testament. I need to persevere and endure! Be a good finisher!



Spent my last week finishing an awesome book, The Prayer of Jabez. I learned so much about praying and my spiritual life. Can't wait to read Good Morning Holy Spirit. Dor and I are going to swap books. Waha. Another book is Princess, a great book I borrowed from Ana. Sorry girl, I still haven't finish it yet... Hehe. But I love it! It shows the true and ugly side of an oppressed princess in Saudi Arabia. I feel so angry while reading it. Because she doesn't have any rights as a woman, and women are really third-class citizens. Though these are not instructions by Prophet Mohamed, the women really do not have any freedom. So sad la... And it's already the twentyfirst-century for pit's sake! Argh~~ *Feminist* I truly thank God that I'm born in such a blessed nation and family that I'm not oppressed in anyway, and can practice religion freely :)


Okay... I need to chill. Haha. Oh yay, I went for newcomers' dinner at Roland Resturant. Good food! And had fun! The highlight is that we took pictures with pastors!!


Pastor Kong! Our spirtitual father =) And founder of the rockin' God's house - CHC!



Pastor Dereck!



Pastor Aries! Dari Indonesia juga. Oh man... I misplaced the photo with Pastor Zhuang, our zone-supervisor. And, did not manage to take photo with Pastor Tan. Shucks..

Yay, I'm part of CHC family~~!! ^^

Mercy by Parachute Band

This song really touches my heart with its beautiful lyrics and melody. Indeed, without God's mercy, I wouldn't have been where and who I am. You have always been my Father when I did not have one. You were always with me. I love You Dad!!! *hugs*

Here I am a sinner
Broken and in need of You
Take my life and wash my fears away

For You are the great I am
Rest assured I need Your hand
Holding me untill the darkness comes

Father to the fatherless
Redeemer of my soul
My life is Yours forever
My heart will always know

Your mercy save me
Mercy made me whole
Your mercy found me
Called me as Your own
