Quote:"Be BRAVE to DREAM"
"Beauty of forcing yourself out of your comfort zone! Try it!"
"The beginning of all things are small. Be BRAVE enough to take the first step and you will make it big!"

Quote from Chun's blog..yeah..i still read his blog and i know when is the time to know that he will update his blog..it is when i need a boost of encouragement and somehow by some divine timing he will update but not only that with some nice quotes to bring you through..is that why people read blogs?
but really, quoting 3 things that he said in the latest entry..
1. Be Brave to dream -- the sky is the limits, you never try, you will never know what are the things that you will be able to achieve in life and dont live a life of regrets. 有时候当机会来向你敲门的时候, 要把握时机, 不然错过了可能就没有第二次的机会了不得!! you know how we like to say that, next time this and next time that? what if there is no next time? what are the things that you would be doing today?
2. Beauty of forcing yourself out of your comfort zone! -- there are certain boundaries that we are comfortable with and we are not willing to cross it. i crossed one of it today and it will no longer be a problem or an issue to me. when a rubber band is stretched, you know that it has the ability to do it again. i have been in church for so many years and i have never open my house to be used for CG- partly because it was inconvenient in the past but also part of me i dint want people to see a side of me that i am not ready to show to the world. so NO ONE has ever been to my place apart from family. first of all, i am afraid of what people might think..i live in a simple 2 room place with my dad- reason, it is cheaper this way cos the only reason why we are at home is to sleep that kind of thing, both of us are not home much..but simply because there is only the 2 of us, we dont need a bigger place which we cant afford and we dont need. yes, i am a 穷人家的孩子, it wasnt like that when i was really young, let's just say that things change. so, part of me am embarassed to show my world, my family to the world. but i am proud to say that i have overcome that. Tml, or rather later, my CG is coming to my place for CGM and i am open about it and i think that my dad is very happy too. cos i am packing anc cleaning the house like nobody's business..i think he welcome everyone cos it gets me to wash and clean the place..hahahhaha..
but really, i am glad too!! i have stepped out of my comfort zone.
and babe, i am glad that i met you up for ah chew on wed- becos i think it is the first time that i really hear you say about what happened and i am glad that you are willing to do it. it matters to me and i am glad!! you have crossed and step out of that comfort zone and the journey lies ahead of you..it might not be the easiest path to walk on..but you are not walking on it alone because there will always be people around you to help you! :) love you *huggs*
p.s: i dont wanna be darling- esp now that you have your darlings! can i be 老婆?? hahahahha..
3. The beginning of all things are small. Be BRAVE enough to take the first step and you will make it big! -- there are times that we would look at our surroundings and think what good is going to come out of our lives. a few decades ago, people looked at singapore and wondered what good will come out of it and here you have one of the most prospering economies in SE Asia. about 20 years ago, people looked at a group of young people and wondered what good will come out of them? and now you have a generation who is taking Asia by storm and making a difference in the world that we are living in. crossing lines that no one has crossed and pioneering works where no man has ventured. we may start small but we will never remain small.
i look at my life and i wonder what good will come out of it, but i have the assurance that greater is He who is in me than He who is in the world. i look at the CG, and i think God what are you going to use us to do> and He would say, no eyes has seen, no ear has heard of what i have in store for you. i look at the lives of every single one in N397, i see nothing but POTENTIAL that is waiting to be released..it is not just something that i say to make us all feel better, but it is not only a fact, it is a truth and the truth will always remains strong. let's take our campuses by storm and impact everyone that we come into contact with!

suddenly inspired by Chun, so that was a long blog...
there was something that i found out today that really touched my heart.
siyoung is leaving and got to stop teaching us cos there are some things that happened in the family. i used to complain about her lecture cos err..let's just say that it is not exactly the most exciting lecture but lesson is still fun and it is interesting still. so when i heard the news, i was shocked- i never thought that it would happen like that.
some mishap happened to her daughter i think its some medical condition and her daughter had to be wheelchair bound for the rest of her life. (this is really sad and i feel really really sad for her..hais) and now the condition requires her and the daughter to go to the US for surgery..so she is leaving to take care of her daughter.
but in the midst of everything that is happened and has happened, siyoung has always prepared for all the lessons and so prompt to reply to all our questions and queries. i took her for granted and now that she is going to be here no more- then i begin to treasure her. she was really sweet and nice to arrange for ALL the lectures after the mid-sem break (which has stories to fill another few entries) and she is going to still help us through our projects. i mean how dedicated can she get? she doesnt have to do all these things yet she does them and made sure that we are not abandon and we are all well taken care of. Thanks a millions Dr. CHung!!!
just want to say thanks and take care..your daughter is in our prayers always!! i dint get to give you a physical hug but here is a virtual one!! you are so awesome!!
that'll be all from me for now..nights!!
