Ok..i love Kate Hudson!! and despite the many reviews (negative ones) that i received from the people around me, i actually enjoyed the show (alot) though i found some of the pranks that they play on each other rather childish.

Girlfriends and friendships- you find the one person who would go through thick and thin with you, seen your good and your bad- in spite all these still love you and stand alongside with you and believe in you- not an easy task.

weddings are so nice!! looking forward to the many weddings of this year!! hee..though will burn a big hole in my pocket lorh!!! gosh!! but its going to be sweet and nice! :)

super tired..blog more tml i guess! Nights

I was watching Project Makeover (aka Go Go Sister) yesterday night (yes!! Thurs night- i will elaborate later!!)

and here is a synopsis:

At thirty and age coming on her, Jung-joo despises how her life has turned up. Degraded into doing simple chores for a designer, she believes that the turning point of her life was failing in becoming the girlfriend of then school poster-boy Ha-ni. What’s more, Ha-ni has now become a top star, and that irritates Jung-joo more than anything. When a chance to go back to the past for a week is given to her, she meets her younger self, and is determined to change the course of life that has eluded her for so long. But such a task seems much harder than it had first appeared to be, and she becomes more desperate than ever.

Alright, the synopsis did not managed to produce much wor!! anyway, the show was good- though she went back to change the past, everything that happened in her life no matter how hard she tried to change it, it still came to pass (means though the way that it happened was different, it still did- just that it might happened later than the original).

There was this part that was particularly memorable, the mom die while giving birth to the younger brother and when she went back in time, she tried to convince the mother to not to have the child but the mom said that no matter how many times she is able to come back and convince her, she would still have the child, she would still go through the same thing cos the child was precious to her.

It sort of told me and reminded me about alot of things, alot of times we would think about what would our life be had we been able to change something back in the past that we grew up in. But the fact is that we are who we are today because of the bits and pieces of the life experience that we went through. Some may be unpleasant but they were necessary for our life development. We cant go back to the past, and that may be a good thing, and since we cant change the past, we shld move on to create a better future and try to make up for the things that we have done wrong instead of dwelling on the wrong.

Was watching Changeling today with weiwei, and its quite a good show, it brought out the corruption of the US police at the turn of the 18th century and how the lives of the little children were lost and how this woman (Christine Collins- Angelina Jolie) managed to induce change into the society because she held firm to her belief. (for more information, go and watch the show!)
and its based on a real story, it talks about the position of the women in the society then aand also the violence and corruption of the police. But one of the things that caught my attention was when Gordon Northcott said to Christine Collins that he liked her cos she was the only one who did not bad-mouth about him to the media. There is great impact in her this act, though she was greatly grieved by the disappearance of her son, Collins when speaking to the media about the Police and Northcott, she chose her words carefully and properly, not putting the other party down. Important to us i guess, as communicators, the words that we have often have eternal effects that we are not aware of and it might do us good or bad in the time to come. 积点口德 bah..before you talk about other people, examine your own life first- something that is easier said than done but this is also something that i am and have been trying to do (though it might be to limited success).

One of the songs on 梁靜茹's new album..i like the melody of the song:

我堅持的 都值得堅持嗎
我所相信的 就是真的嗎
如果我趕追求 我就敢擁有嗎
而如果都算了 不要呢
或許吧 或許我永遠都不要遇見他
或許吧 或許我太天真了吧

屬于我的昨天之前的結局
我決定我的決定
屬于我的明天之后的憧憬
我迷信我的迷信
屬于我們點點滴滴的傷心
我們要各自忘記
屬于我們閃閃發亮的愛情
我們再一起努力

屬于風的 那就去飛翔吧
屬于海洋的 那就洶涌的
屬于我們的愛 該來的就來吧
為什么不敢呢 不要呢?
是他吧 命中早就注定了的那個他
是他吧 他原來就在這里啊

Enjoy and Happy Chinese New Year!! Have an Ox-picious year!! wahahahha Looking at some of the stuff that Yen asked me to do- i realised what I have been missing out in my 4 years in NUS- CNM, all the design and graphics stuff- i avoided them like crazy, thinking that i am not able to handle them. A little regret now but its too late, but it is interesting to read up on them when i have the time to i guess.

First presentation tomorrow morning and its in 5204!! woah..i am hoping that everything will go well!!! The NUS/NTU Combined prayer meeting has yet been another milestone not only for the ministry but also another milestone in many of our own lives. I wished that i am still in my year 1 where i can be around to witness and be part of the great happenings that are going to unfold in the years to come but yet i also know that in everything there is a time and a season, perhaps there are other areas and ways that i am supposed to contribute to the continuation of this work that we are starting. Looking back, i would be able to say that AT LEAST i was one of those that pioneered the work.

School work is piling up despite being only week 2 of the semester. As we progress with school, each week count down to the day that i am going to leave behind student life (FOR NOW!) and step into another phrase of my life. A beginning of a new chapter in my life that holds much uncertainty and great unknown. The thoughts and conversations about what we are going to do after graduation continues to make its way to the list of favourites as i reach this crossroad of my life.

Talking to Ian (while waiting for the rest to reach) has left a undelible question in my memory and ponderings. What is something that i enjoy doing- i recall Pastor Phil speaking about this before, there is a difference between a job and a career (or was it something else? cant remember the 2 exact words) but the main point is one of which indicate that you go there and earn a living and that's all but the other it is part of you, it is what you want to be. Going to Northview Primary with Citycare left me with this thought, i dont mind doing this- working with children and youths. They are the group of people that are still malleable and when you impact them you impact the next generation and you can change their lives thereafter. NM4880C talk with Dr. Wong about working with youths on the issue of AIDS/HIV and premartial sex seems to bring up this point as well, that it is the 14-19 age group that you are able to influence them and help them in their lives- that is if you use the right methods to reach them. Gone are the days that messages can be forced down their throat and you expect them to understand. Life is meant to be experienced. Perhaps, i want to be part of this experience. Even as i type this, i recall that Howard brought forth the same points during the vision sharing as well, reiterate (not excessively) the point about the university being the last bridge before this malleable group goes out into the society. For the group that does not make it to university, the Poly lives is the last bridge before they step into the society and be caught up into the many demands of life.

Sometimes God doesnt speak directly and plainly to you in a audible voice but He speaks through the many people whose wise words are able to bring you a new picture in a situation that you are pondering over. Well, i still have time, i will think about what i really want and enjoy doing.

For now, i shall stir up my interest for the stack of readings in front of me :)

Just finished online meeting with CGCs- must make use of new media!! hee.. :)
started school today and i might sound a little sadist but I actually enjoyed school. I am feeling a little melancholic thinking and reflecting that this is my last semester in school and thereafter is goodbye forever. You know how you always wished that you dont have to study when you are younger, i am on the other hand a little apprehensive of what and how things are going to be after those "studying" years, and this time, i am leaving it behind for good. Gosh, it does feel a little scary. But i think the real feeling of it will only sink in when it materialises at the end of this semester.

I am enjoying my lessons so far for today. Have yet to get my minor module, think that should settle it tomorrow at the biz office (thereafter if there is no more biz office is because i burnt it down!!! anyhow, praying that everything will turn out ok for that ONE LAST mod that i have yet to get! actually dennis have not help me allocate that last NM mod as well.) but if everything goes well, i would be having a 3 day week from tues to thurs with mon and friday off!!! yippee!! please do not think every semester is like that, in fact i have NEVER gotten a 3 day week before lorh..

Feeling that can get along with the honours class people better now, not so scary and they seem to be pretty friendly as well, perhaps i dint have the chance to hang ard with them enough. CNM quite big so we tend to be taking different modules, it is only when you reach year 4 then you really see all the familiar faces in classes. Today, it suddenly dawned on me that many of this group of people have left after last sem and soon it would be our turn!!! woooohhhh...

Lots of things to be done in 2009, but first things first are all the planning!!! so this few days should really get down to the planning. if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. and the Bible also tell us that if we do not have vision we will all perish. So, gotta plan, expect the best but prepare for the worst!

off to bed..nights Its been a long and tiring day..my plans for the day WERE: Service + Kenneht/ peiyun surprise, giving me the time to rest in between then go home after that BUT things never go according to what you plan as usual..

John Bevere shared such a mind-blowing sermon again today- like setting the foundation once again with what he taught over the weekend. Let's all really take some times to reflect and digest on what he has just gave to us.

So glad that liwei came for double service too!! Hope that her life is changed as well!!! After service, i bumped into ruix and therefore went to her father's duck rice stall and had lunch (we paid ok??) anyway its really nice you shld go and try it- its the corner coffee shop at simpang bedok!! :)

thereafter, was contemplating whether to go home for awhile before going to kenneth's place. Then decided to give Jie a call and i just felt that i got to ask when is Mama's birthday and lo and behold its today and i dropped over to get her a cake (and in between i went to trim my hair- its so min that you wouldnt see the difference!)

and this is the cake!! looks nice and taste ok as well (i actually like it more than those bangawan solo cakes!! opps)
anyhow, think mama like it too!! so its ok!!! then mama like feeding someone who havent ate in years- tons of food for me!! Cake then follow by Mee-sua!! birthday girl cook for me wor!! its very nice!!! Cos one thing is very long never eat le!!!
I just wanna take a photo with Mama..should really take a better photo another time!! Chinese New Year sounds like a good time!! :) Must remember to do that!!
then i had scaled pig liver with ginger- too long never eat le..it dint go down too well with my stomach!! but here is a pic of it! :)
and this is mama cooking!!! captured the essence of it all right??
I grew up in mama's house from 2-12years old i think..i only know that i came back to my own place to stay when i was going to secondary school and daddy felt that i could take care of myself. But Mama and the whole family is like the family that i never had. I feel like i am Mama's youngest daughter (though more like a granddaughter larh!!) but the commitment and the love that the family showed me (even way beyond the taking care of me years) and even when my dad does not have money to pay her and even after she stopped paying her when i left for home. I feel closer to this family than to my own. Its interesting how some unrelated (by blood) kins can be so nice and take such good care of me. Jie paid for my braces and my laptop..and not to mentioned the many things that they bought for me when i was young and even when i grew up. If there is anyone that i am indebted to- it is this family. I never truly understood the meaning of having a mom but God took such good care of me that He sent this family, though they are not believers but they demostrated the love of God, the unfailing and unselfish love for me that i experience so much more than a mother's love.

Had i not grown up at Mama's during my formative years, i wonder where i would be today. They take so much pride in seeing me go through university, its as if their own daughter/ sister graduate from university (though it is no longer such a big deal in society today). There is unfailing love and i experience it not only from my own dad but from this beloved family through their actions and the words that were spoken into my life. When no one believed in me, when my own family said that I am nothing but full of pride and Hao-lian, they were the ones who nurtured me and believed in me.

Indeed, if God would even take care of the sparrows in the sky, what more would He take care of us!! I believe with all my heart, that Mama has fulfilled the call of God in her life doing what she has done and i pray that I would have the chance to personally share the Gospel with her and lead her to Christ in her lifetime- God open the doors for me PLEASE!!!!

Thanks Mama (though you wouldnt get to read this!!) for all that you have done for me, though there were instances i misunderstood you and all but you were still faithful and you were still there and also for Jie Jie and Kor Kor who always believed and take such good care of me. Though i may not have experience the love of a mom but i gained so much more in return!! and Thank you Lord for bringing them into my life!! :)
Have you felt that you needed a word of encouragement and God sent you one through that very week's meeting?

JOHN BEVERE was one such man used by God.

HE WAS AWESOME!!! :) 心若倦了 淚也乾了
這份深情 難捨難了
曾經擁有 天荒地老
已不見你 暮暮與朝朝

這一份情 永遠難了
願來生還能 再度擁抱
愛一個人 如何廝守到老
怎樣面對一切 我不知道

回憶過去 痛苦的相思忘不了
為何你再來 撥動我心跳
愛你怎麼能了 今夜的你應該明瞭
緣難了 情難了

:: 新不了情 :: 萬芳 ::

Hongting, irys and i were just singing this in K yesterday. Sometimes you gotta take the older songs and listen to them all over again- they hold much more than you know it. This song is probably the classic back in 1994 when it was sang with the movie!

***

如果我说 爱我没有如果
错过就过 你是不是会难过
若如果拿来当借口
那是不是有一点弱
如果我说 爱我没有如果
真的爱我 就放手一搏
还想什么 还怕什么
快牵起我的手

有人说 世界上最遥远的距离不是生与死
而是我就站在你面前 你却不知道我爱你
我常说 如果人类连爱一个人都被自己绑住
那世界末日已来到
不需要等到地球毁灭掉的那天
别怕太快乐(别怕太快乐)
别怕失去我~~

如果我说 爱我没有如果
错过就过 你是不是会难过
若如果拿来当借口
那是不是有一点弱
如果我说 爱我没有如果
真的爱我 就放手一搏
还想什么 还怕什么
快牵起我的手

如果 如果 如果 如果 如果
最后变成如果 我也不能接受
错过 错过 错过 错过 错过
我比你更难过 不会一错再错

:: 没有如果 :: 梁静茹 ::

the starting song for 败犬女王 (which i think that is a nice show- not because there is ethan in the show ok!!) but i guess its how the plot approaches an issue in an interesting way bah!! so far so good..we will see as it develops and go along.

But the MV is really cute and i am taking another take and play on Fish's songs especially after HT sang them so beautifully during K yesterday!! :)

there are some things that are better left unsaid (i guess) cos truth hurts no matter how nicely you try to package it to be as indirect as you can. There are some things that people would just not want to hear- no matter how much it meant that they are living in denial. But perhaps, it is not living in denial but just trying not to face the imperfections that they are not ready to deal with in their lives. Too bad, no one loves unconditionally except God.

I realised that i have yet to write one of those "thank you" post..hmmmm..let me think about it but i think that it is not that necessary- just be assured in your heart that i appreciate alot for all those who made an impact in my life in 2008. Special mention here only to N397- i love you guys!!! thanks for being part of my life!! there are some things that the world just cant take away, apart from God, its you guys! :) *huggs* Hello..HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
