Happy Birthday Raymond!

It was a long but awesome week for me. On Wednesday, after so long, i went for Bibles Study class..! And Before that, there was a rainbow. Beautiful!!

On Thursday, Met Michelle to buy Raymond's birthday present and to do a birthday card/scrap book. We haven't eaten anything for lunch so we ordered MacDonald's! My favorite!  

Liz001

This is the first part of my master piece. I painted this! Haha. Love the color!

Liz002

Needed a little bit of inspiration. So.. Haha. Photo taking!

At 2am.

You'll see what happens when you get 2 tired crazy girls!! Haha..

Michelle did work at the computer while i was working on the scrap book. It was so funny. Because we were looking for pictures at Raymond's Facebook. But, we could not see his page. Of all the people using Facebook, we just couldn't enter into his profile. So we were waiting and waiting to be able to view his page.

At 3am.

Left Michelle's house close to 6am in the morning. Finally, we managed to finish.. Reached home at around 7am. Fell flat on my bed. Didn't sleep a wink. But it was so much fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYMOND!

Celebrated Raymond's birthday after Cell Group meeting. Haha. Well, let the photos do the talking..

Can't Stop The Pop.

I wanted to blog yesterday when i came home. But i was too tired till i forgot. And by the time i remembered, i was about to go offline and turn in. So, i had to wait till now to blog. Haha.

Anyway, had a great time yesterday. Met up with Michelle, Augustus, Joyce and Ulrica for dinner at white Sands. After having our dinner, we went to the arcade to play. Took some photos. Haha. This is what happen when you run out of credits to play. Haha!

Woke up early today to meet Michelle at Bugis to buy some stuff. But we were early and the store hasn't open. So, we went for breakfast. Can't believe i had breakfast at Bugis. Haha. Anyway, we manage to get our stuff and then we headed down to her house to chill. And, i started taking photos. We were both super tired. Michelle fell asleep but i didn't cause i was watching my show! Haha. So long never catch my shows already cause I've been out in the afternoon. So it's great to be facing a television again.

Doctor Please.

I did a little bit of research on migraine headaches. And some of the common triggers of it are:

  • stress
  • skipping meals
  • too much caffeine
  • certain foods (alcohol, cheese, pizza, chocolate, ice cream, fatty or fried food, lunch meats, hot dogs, yogurt, aspartame, or anything with MSG, a seasoning often used in Asian foods)
  • sudden changes in sleep patterns
  • changes in hormone levels
  • smoking
  • weather changes
  • travel
  • Well, I've been having migraine for 3 long weeks.. It so painful.. And it is kind of affecting a sense of vision. Can't really see well. Have been popping panadol. From the normal kind to the extra strong. And i must say the extra strong is really extra good! the normal one is lousy man.. Haha. I shouldn't rely on these kind of medication so often. If not my parents will think I'm some kind of drug addict since I've got 2 boxes of panadols on my table.

    I haven't eaten the whole day. Kind of losing my appetite lately. I feel more tired than hungry. Surprisingly. It's not the normal me. Well, the normal me is always want to sleep and always hungry! Now lacking on one side. In fact, i don't even know what am i typing about because I'm not exactly using my brain. So pardon me if everything sounds weird.

    Waiting for dinner to come home.. First meal of the day. Haven't been eating lately. Yesterday,  I only ate a few strains of noodles,2 meat balls and 4 slices of fishcake. So far today, haven't eaten anything. So feeling a bit hungry now. Hopefully, i will have the appetite to eat. Mummy's buying KFC home. Don't really feel like eating that though. But since Mummy wants to eat that, I'm fine with it. Besides, i don't have any cash on me also. Haha. So, she's paying! Well, actually, i think my Daddy is paying for it.

    Last night was good.. Exceptionally good for me.. Cause... Haha.. Secret. Woot~

    Very Hungry.

    I'm feeling very hungry now. Not because it's my nature to feel hungry all the time. But really, i haven't eaten all day. It seems like every time when i am at home, i only eat one meal. Which is either lunch or dinner. Sometimes both. Now, financially very tight. Actually, nothing tight cause i don't have anything in my wallet. I'm waiting for Daddy to come home so that i can eat.  He is my hero!

    Was suppose to go over to NTU today to learn the board games that we're playing this Sunday after service. But didn't go over because things have not been very good at home. Ah boy's teacher called again as he was caught smoking. If i go out, i think when i come back will get shot by my Mum. My brother hasn't been at home lately. He comes home very very late so i got to be at home if not we'll both get worse shots. So, since I'll be out tomorrow, i better stay at home today. At least during the evening to check whether Mummy's mood is okay. So far, so good. The weather at home is cooling. Haha.. Hopefully, for the rest of the night, it'll stay this way.

    Well, I'm feeling much better these 2 days. Not so "moody" anymore. Well, i don't want to think so much either. Cause sometimes my imagination can go wild which isn't a good thing for me. But, i just want to continue to stay positive towards things. And breakthrough! In fact, I'm kind of feeling happy now. No specific reasons. It's true, the circumstances around me won't change until my thinking changes. And these few days, this has been a reality in my life.

    Paradise Lost.

    Finally, after staying at home for 2 days, i went out today. Went to Bukit Batok with Roger to meet Han Ming, Malcolm and Yong Qiang. And i just realize that there's a lot of food places there!! That's my favorite kind of place!! Anyway, we ate Western food and then waffle. To sum it up, i ate a lot!! I'm putting on weight as the days goes by. Anyway, after dinner, we had a long walk at the Nature Park there. That is a very dark place. Very quiet also.. It was fun.. Headed home after we walked out of the park. Basically, i think we walked a lot today. I'm trying to comfort myself. Haha. (Not working!) Cause I'm feeling hungry again!

    Paradise lost is a place without you. In the shadow of love there's no room with a view. Walking alone on the sand, wish you were here again. I wish you were here again.

    Weekends are drawing closer.. I love weekends!!

    Sealed With A Kiss.

    Written with a pen.
    Sealed with a kiss.
    If you are my friend,
    Please answer this:

    Are we friends?
    Or are we not?
    You told me once
    But I forgot.

    So tell me now
    And tell me true.
    So I can say....
    "I'm here for you."

    Of all the friends
    I've ever met,
    You're the one
    I won't forget.

    And if I die
    Before you do,
    I'll go to heaven
    And wait for you.

    I'll give the angels
    Back their wings
    And risk the loss
    Of everything.

    Just to prove my
    Friendship is true..
    To have a friend like you

    I stayed at home today.  Had a good rest. Cleaned the house and read some articles. I'm starting to feel nervous whenever i think that I'm going to go back to school in 2 months. Although it seems like a long time away, the days seem to be passing so fast..! I've got to start reading more newspapers already. I don't want to suffer when i get back to school. And finally, my migraine is more or less gone. Have been having it for about 2 weeks or so. Phew..

    I'm thinking of things to do tomorrow. Don't want to stay at home and be bored.. Want to find things to do. I'm still cracking my brain. So, hopefully, tomorrow i can post something up besides me having a day of rest again..

    Week Of Morning Prayer.

    It was a great week of morning prayer.. It was a sacrifice to wake up so early. Every morning, from Monday to Friday, i woke up at 4am! Can't believe the sleeping beauty waking up at 4am right? Well, i did. For these prayer meetings, i told God that i don't just want to throw all the prayer request i have to Him. But i wanted to hear from Him every morning. And i did. So, just let me share some of the things He said :)

    Monday

    John 21

    "So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs." He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep."

    Tuesday

    1 Samuel 16

    Wednesday

    Philippians 3: 12-15

    "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you."

    Thursday

    John 3:30

    "He must increase, but I must decrease."

    Friday

    Ephesians 6: 18

    "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints"

    Well, i didn't go into details because.. Personal. Ask me if you want to know. Haha!

    A Tear In My Eye.

    when you assured me you'll be there
    i meant it for real
    when you said that you'll always care
    i thought that you were true

    please tell me what have i done wrong
    to deserve this silent treatment
    i may not understand
    but carrying on just breaks my heart

    let the rain wash away my tears
    let the waves come crashing over me
    cause it's so hard for me to breathe
    when you're doing this to me

    i wish i still could be there
    if you allow me to
    i would still do anything you ask
    if you want me to

    i don't know what to do anymore
    let me dream of your smile one more time
    and the way you look into my eyes
    they made all my worries disappear

    although i've been thinking of you
    i still miss you
    when i call only realize
    i hear your voice mail talk

    take care for now

    I Wonder Why.

    It hasn't been easy for me lately. I guess I've had also been trying to avoid it but i guess it has come to the point where i have to face it. Quite a bit has changed and honestly, I'm heartbroken. Sometimes i wonder if it is wrong for me to feel this way. (SIGH!) I wonder why the response is like that out of the sudden. What have i done? Very heart breaking. Maybe that's the cause of my splitting migraines the past week..

    Anyway, after prayer meeting this morning, me and Joanne went to eat breakfast. Slacked at Burger King for awhile and then went shopping at Tampines Mall. We went into shops that were open at that time and decided to go over to century Square to walk. After walking for awhile, we were getting a bit bored. So we impulsively bought 2 tickets to The Wedding Game which starts an hour later. With nothing else to do, we went to eat, again! Lunch wasn't satisfying cause the food was horrible. We got cheated!! Haha. Well, more happenings at the cinema. We sat at the wrong row! I can't believe it.. It's my first time sitting at the wrong row. Bt anyway, the more funny thing is that 3 women couldn't find their seat ( Joanne and I were actually sitting in them.). So they came to us and said," I think you're taking our seat." Joanne replied, "What's your seat?" Lady replied, "Row B." Joanne and I confidently replied, "Row B is behind." And then i turned around and found out that we were actually sitting one row behind our seats! I told Joanne and we burst out laughing!!! It was a good start to the movie. Anyway, the movie was quite good. Don't mind watching a second time. And for the first time, I'm actually starting to like the both of them. Haha..

    poster

    After the movie, we headed down to Suntec City to collect Jo's shoes. Was supposed to meet Sue for dinner but she had work so changed it to another day. But still, we ate again!!! We ate at Souperlicious. I hope i got the name right. Was so filling! We had Mushroom Soup, Chicken and Corn Soup, Macaroni and Ham and drinks. All these for less than $20. Quite worth it!

    Liz002

    Well, that's all for now. Will blog about the morning prayer meetings on Sunday.

    A Day Out, Finally.

    I finally got a day out yesterday after staying at home for 3 long days. Met Michelle and Benjamin in the afternoon to get some stuff from Bugis. After getting our stuff, we went to The Soup Spoon to have our late lunch/early dinner.

     Liz000       

    This was what i had. A Penne Lentil, a huge bowl of mushroom soup and a glass of Ice Lemon Tea. This only cost $10.60. It was really filling..

    After eating, Benjamin and i went over to Tiong Bahru  to meet Raymond to go down for iWorship 101 with Brother Poh. My goodness. It was such a rollercoaster ride. First, we couldn't get up bus 5 because it was flooded with people. So we managed to get a cab with 5 seconds. That's how fast we got a cab. When we got in the cab, the driver had no idea where the place is. So did we. We had no clue where it was. So the 3 of us started calling our family members to ask where's the place. So basically, the taxi went round and round and round. We found ourselves on the wrong road because there was no bus 5 along that road. After 20 minutes after going round in circles, we found the place and we were like, "Didn't we pass by this place a few times?" The building didn't looked the way we expected. Haha. Well, we were a bit late. Brother Poh shared a lot. But one thing he shared impacted me a lot. He shared that in a year, there is 52 weeks, take out all the big events in church and all the festival holidays, you have about 40 weeks. Which means we have 40 Cell Group meetings to bring down the presence and the anointing of God during the meeting. And he asked," "Can one touch make a difference?" Everybody said 'Yes'. And Brother Poh shared this.

    1 Kings 19: 5-8

    Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat." Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you." So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.

    Wow! Yes, one touch can make a difference. This just makes me realized how important it is to encounter God's presence during a Cell Group meeting. He also shared that when every member is united in praise and worship, the Cell Group will experience growth. And when a Cell Group is not united, the presence of God won't be strong. Because unity is strength, is power. One touch can make a difference. One touch caused Elijah to run for forty days and forty nights. I want that touch too.

    After the lesson with Brother Poh, Benjamin and i went down to Pasir Ris Ehub to meet Michelle, Shawn, Augustus and Roger to catch a late night show. The show that we wanted to watch apparently didn't show. So we ended up watching.

    Benjamin Button

     benjamin

    Well, i personally feel that it's not a very good show. It was a 2 hour 45 minutes show! We were like telling each other in the movie that it's going to end. And half an hour later, it hasn't ended. I almost fell asleep. But somehow, it felt so odd. Cause when the main character's personality changed a lot as he grew more mature. I thought it changed to Brad Pitt's biography. Haha. But anyway, we had a good laugh in there. I wonder why they rated it PG. It should be NC16 or M18. Haha. Really..

    After the show, it was already about 2.15am, we went outside to the main road and sang Roger a birthday song! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROGER!! Michelle's dad came to fetch her. Princess leh! The rest of us squeezed into a cab and headed back to Tampines. While the guys went to Benjamin's Aunt's place to stay/play, i went home to rest. I slept for 5 hours and woke up to search online for a game to play during Cell Group tonight. I'm excited!

    It's been so long since i post such a long entry. I'm surprised too! Haha. Well, I'm going to get back to get some rest before i go get the stuff to cook for tonight's Cell Group refreshments! I'm looking forward to the rest of the week because it's my favourite time, weekends!!

    Just Wondering.

    I was just thinking of some of the things i want to do this year.

    1. Learn driving

    2. Lose weight!!! (5kg by July.)

    Well, these are the two things that i really want to achieve. Haha. Raymond calls me an eating machine. I just can't stop eating lately. My mouth is so itchy.. After dinner, i always have to eat something else. Like for today, i ate a packet of Hokkien Mee. So you can imagine the amount of weight I've put on the past few days! (A LOT!) I better start exercising!

    Anyway, I've been staying at home. Rarely go out now. Maybe cause I'm too lazy and i don't want to anyhow spend money. And I've been cleaning the house. I'm already a housewife when I'm not even married! Haha..

    Other than that, it has been quite a good week so far. Can't wait for the weekends again.

    I want another getaway!

    :)
