Week Of Morning Prayer & Bad Gastric Flu.

This past week was an amazing week of morning prayer. I’m so glad that i am able to make it for the first round for this year. I wasn’t able to attend the previous few because i had to go to school. What can I say, waking up early to pray is so much better than waking up for school! Oops!

Throughout this whole week of morning prayer, it really made me think about certain things. Like being thankful and counting my blessings. Personally, I feel that these are so important in life and growing. So many times we take things around us for granted. Example, the air that we breathe, our parents, our education and even the country we live in. I am so blessed that I have parents that love me and provide for me every day, living in a country that is safe. There is so many things that I am thankful for when i begin to count my blessings. The little things and the big things. Even things that many times I don’t take them into consideration every day. I am blessed!

Gastric flue hit me on during the start of the week. My stomach hurts all the time. When I eat, it hurts. When I don’t eat, it also hurts. But Chuilaam passed me a medicine yesterday that I feel that it really effective. Now, my stomach is back to normal!

School’s Out, Welcome Vacation!

Finally, the school holidays are here. I’m through my first week of holidays now. I’m so happy! UT is over, Year 1 is over! I’m really thankful that for both Semesters, I am in a class where I have friends who are motivated. It really encourages me a lot. They make learning everyday so much fun!

Chinese New Year! It felt so weird this year. Was doing visitations on the first day. Was at the last house for the day and I wasn’t feeling the festive mood. And I realized that I never ate a single Bak Kua that day. So I was telling my cousin who was beside me,” I know why I got no feel already! No Bak Kua!!” And in 2 seconds, 2 plates of Bak Kua started marching towards me. My eyes were glowing! Haha. That made so happy! Now, Poppy has also brought home some Bak Kua for me! But on top of all the yummy snacks and the great feasts, my relationship between my family and relatives grew stronger. (:

After a long month, I finally caught a movie today with Chui Laam, 14 Blades. Half the time I was reading the subtitles! But all in all, it was a great show! Catch it!

A Time For Everything.

I guess in life, we go through different seasons. A time to do this, a time to do that. And sometimes, there is just no time at all.

A time to mug

A time to slack

A time to work

A time to rest

A time of giving

A time of receiving

A time of sowing

A time for reaping

A time to step out

A time to withdraw

I’m now in my time of mugging. Exams are packed this week till Friday. And after that would be a short period of resting for me. Year 1 of poly life is over. Got to prepare myself for the challenges in Year 2.

Slam.

It was a pretty long week. School school and more school. UT3 is starting next Saturday. UT2 grades were not very fantastic to me. I have got to really work hard.

After a long week, I’m finally home hoping to start study later tonight.

It was a long Saturday for me yesterday. Woke up early to collect my passport with my parents. When we reached the place. It was flooded with people. But we made appointment so it  gave us the advantage in a way. So, we went to take our queue number. We headed to the waiting area and saw the queue board. It was only at 2823 whereas my number is 2988! Big difference! So in my mind i was thinking that i am really going to be sitting there the entire day! But within 15 minutes, i took my passport and was out of the place. Thank God we made appointment.

Went shopping after that. Bought a lot of stuff. Well, to me it’s a lot considering that i only can buy 1 item whenever i go out with my parents. But yesterday, Mompy spent over a $100 on me. Thank you, Mompy!

After shopping, went to meet Chui Laam and Ivan and headed to Hwa Chong Institue for Jeremy’s orchestra concert. He is talented!

 

And now, after a long week, i am finally home!

(:

Here I Am Still Holding On.

It hasn’t been exactly been a good month for me. Many down periods, yet also many up moments. But God has been good.

The school holidays are drawing nearer for me. Which also means that UT3 is also coming! Time to start revising on my work.

I can’t wait for next month to come! Why? Don’t tell you. It’s a secret! Haha.

2010 is going to be awesome!

Church has finally got our land after so many years. Believing for greater breakthroughs this year!

(:

So Long.

I finally got back my laptop today. But everything is gone. If you are wondering what happened to it, let me share with you. It was smashed by my brother. And everything couldn’t work. ): Second day of school and I didn’t have a laptop to use. And worse still, it was my test season.

But now, I’m wondering how to transfer my things inside my iTouch to iTunes. An idea??

A Foot Forward To 2010.

A year has just gone by again. A new chapter has just begun. Last night, I was writing some of the goals i want to achieve by the end of this year. Most of them are very challenging but attainable. I can't wait to embark on 2010. This year will be my best year yet.

School has started. Now, I'm sitting in class waiting for lessons to begin. Didn't have a good sleep last night. I only managed to fall asleep at around 4am. So, technically, I only slept for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Naturally, I'm feeling tired now. I've got to get through today! UT is going to continue starting from tomorrow. I've got to really work hard for the rest of my UTs!

 

PS: Thank you for giving me such a wonderful morning! (: You're my Sunshine after the rain.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday.

I went to get my hair done on Tuesday. Sat there for 5 hours! But to my surprise, I paid an amount that to me, seem pretty cheap! Paid only $120 Cool right?

Had a amazing Christmas This year. Went to East Coast Park to countdown.

Awesome Christmas in Church, as always.

PS: It was an amazing Christmas because i was with you.

The year is coming to an end. 2009 has certainly been a year to trials and testing. And this year was really tough. But i believe that 2010 will be even greater and better!

I Can't Sleep, I Just Can't Breathe.

Well, it's really late now and i can't sleep. Looks like there is a shift in my sleeping time. There's so many things on my mind and weighing in my heart. But blogging isn't a very wise place for me to pour out everything.

 

Why can't i laugh

Why must i cry

Every time we say goodbye

Why must it rain

Here in my heart

Every day that we're apart

Why can't it be

Just you and me

What will it take to make you see

This are the words

To my heartbreak lullaby

Somebody Needs You.

It has been a very long time since i last blogged. Well, guess I've been lazy and for the past 2 weeks, my laptop was sent for repair because i screen started to have "Disco". But it's back!

It has been really tough the past 2 months. Felt like hell. But, oh well..

 

PS: With you, you give me a reason to smile when my world falls apart.

What Is This?

I came across this picture while doing my work in class.

What do you think of it?

Walking In The Rain.

Sitting By The Window
Singing Songs Of Love
Wishing You Were Here
Because The Memory's Not Enough
Wear My Mask In Silence
Pretending I'm Alright
If You Could See Then You Would Be
Here Standing By My Side

Every Single Hour
Of Every Single Day
I Need To Cry, My Eyes Are Dry
I've Cried My Tears Away
Can't Help But Remember
How You Made Me Feel
You Dressed My Soul And Made Me Whole
You Made My Life Complete

Of All We've Said And Done
Remains The Memories Of Days
When Life Was Fun
But Now When You Are Gone
I Sit Alone To Watch The
Setting Of The Sun

Feels Like I'm Walking In The Rain
I Find Myself Trying To Wash Away The Pain
Cause I Need You To Give Me Some Shelter
Cause I'm Fading Away

My First Halloween.

Celebrated Halloween with E478 on Friday night. Watch The Exorcism Of Emily Rose. I must say that until now, i can still remember how she looks like. Very haunting!! Wasn't as scary as i thought it would even though i had a few screams.

Next, GERMAINE's 14th birthday party!

With the Princess!

   

I can't believe i went crazy with Tan Jin by doing this! *Unglam* to the max!

October.

October was a really tough month for me, really.

I hope November will be better. But then again, it's different.

Straight Through My Heart.

I've been loving this song and now, i found the music video.

Enjoy!

@ TCC.

I had my first visit to TCC last Sunday. Had a great time there. And the food was good too! Maybe because i was with the right person, at the right time, at the right place. Haha!

Time To Update.

I know this is rather late, but i just got the photos only today. So i finally can blog about these events.

First up! Went to the Zoo with Michelle on the 10th. Haven't been there for almost a decade! Changed a lot. Had lots of fun. More photos uploaded on Facebook already.

After the Zoo trip, we went to watch Gamer. Not my type of show but this was what they had left for the both of us to watch :(

Watched this 2 shows recently. Niceee..!!

Movies Is A Part Of My Life.

Watched G-Force with the kids last week during the youth outreach. Very cute show. Haha. And then watched Aliens in the attic today. It was okay also. Love watching movies!

Faith.

I was doing the application Facebook on 'What does God want You To Know'. And today, it was on Faith. And this is what the message said:

On this day of your life, Elizabeth, we believe God wants you to know...
... that faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty.

Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

I started to recall those times when things were really tough for me. And taking the step of faith to trust God really took a great faith. And God was faithful. Even when i have been faithless, He still remains faithful. I'm so proud that i have a God who is alive and not dead! Thank You Jesus for not giving up on someone like me.

I went to work today. Decide to work to earn some money. Need it for something. And, the good news is, my bank account is no longer stuck at $3.09. For the past week, i've been saving. I'm learning how to save money. There's so many things i want to get. But i realised, building fund is coming. So, i started saving money too late to get those things. But it's okay. Giving to God is always a pleasure. And i can't wait to give again. Cause i know there are greater breakthroughs coming. I got to work more consistently now.

There's something that i also decided to start doing from tomorrow onwards. I'm going to eat lesser and do eat ups every night. I was called "Fat" twice today. Was really very sad. But someone did comfort me. To that person, "Thank You!"

Life Without God.

I recently read this on Facebook. It's funny yet at the same time, true.

Our week without God would be like this:

SINday

MOURNday

TEARSday

WASTEDay

THIRSTday

FIGHTday

SHATTERday

My holidays have finally started. And honestly, i wished there is school. I miss my classmates. Haha. And all their jokes.

I can't wait for Cell Group meeting tomorrow. Each week, the presence of God gets stronger and stronger. And i'm loving each week more and more. :)

Had a great time with Joanne just now. Was really bored at home. And the only person who came to my mind to call was Joanne. She's my buddy!! Went Carl's Junior and ate Beef Chilli Fries even though i already had my dinner. Was really full after that. Then, we went to walk around and then settled down at Starbucks for a drink. Was a great time. Thanks Jo!

P.S: Part of me laughs, part of me cries, part of me wants to question why. Why is there joy? Why is there pain? Why is there sunshine in the rain. One day you're here, next you're gone.
