My day sort of revolve around the same area today.Met Glenda and Yun for lunch at the Bukie Merah Central (cos its near to both Glen and yun's office) and thereafter headed over to Ikea to pick up some stuff before coming home to drop off the load and then headed over to the town area with Yun.
As Yun got to meet client, she has to head home first, alighted at Paradiz busstop and changed bus and i headed over to the new Wilkie Edge (its that new building opposite the famous Selegie Beancurd!) What a name for the place right? hahahha
Anyway, its a good place larh..cos its empty and you have the peace and tranquility. Anyhow, it started raining so i stayed there the whole time before the camp meeting. Some pics of the happening at the place and my blog post of the day in the photos! (:
***One of the few afternoons off that I probably wouldnt be able to have often after this. Sometimes its really good to spend the afternoon with yourself! Just relax, grab a coffee and finish up a book. Enjoy life while we can! (:
Anyway headed over to the Selegie for Dao Huey after the camp meeting!!!! So, i ended up at the same area again!
Interesting conversation of the day:
Person Z: So guys, what do you guys want to eat?
Person A: I want Grass Jelly and 1 You Tiao
Person B: I want Soya Bean Drink and 1 You Tiao
Person C: I want Soya Bean Drink and 2 You Tiao
Person Z: You know that 1 You Tiao got 2 right??
Person C: *faint* I know that 1 You Tiao got 2!!! *shake head and burst into laughter* Alright, I want 2 sets of You Tiao
Person A, B and D: *burst into laughters*
Person Z: (huh?? Full of question marks)
(: (: (: (:

Hmmm...after all the events and the happenings recently, really really really think that I need more of God's grace and anointing to have more wisdom and poise and also the anointing and zai-ness to interact and work with people. But on top of that, to really stay calm when handling situations and circumstances that arises. When you let your emotions get to you, you cant think properly and you tend to make decisions in haste. Instead, you need a clear mind, one that is not cluttered but able to analyze the situtation and make the best decision while at the same time, setting an example for the people around you to follow and look up to.
I know that is call a need for greater capacity and a new way of living! Come on Liwei, you can do better than this!!! Destined for great things, in order to do that, i must have a great personality!!Thank God that He accept me for who I am, but there is only One God, the rest of the world would not do that. Not for my sake and glory but for Yours!!!
Up and On! (:

The first time (other than the commercial one) that i heard this song was when wei quan was here at expo for the AZone Open House and he was singing this song and telling us that it was a song that he wrote for Jerry. The feel of the two versions (wei quan and Jerry) is different but i like the upbeat tune and how nice and comfortable the feel of the song is! And i think the songs in Jerry's new album are all quite nice!! Got the Hot Shot song Yi Ban!! (:
A new way of living!! I think that the word last night at service was great- there are a ton of things that I need to do before launching into work mode. Have been slacking and resting since I came back from Australia, unless you consider camps to be hard work larh (which they are). First, i need a clean and tidy workstation at home. A proper chair maybe? hahaha..and its about time to move on and move ahead instead of just turning round and round on the same spot again and again.
Time to pack up and move on to the next phrase in life! (:
Going out to meet Kenneth to do some studying, still thinking if i wanna move the Nougat over to Mama's today but since I am out I might as well just do it right?? Good idea. Gosh, i am talking to myself!! hahahha

Australia Grad Trip 2009
Finally finished uploading all the photos on to Facebook which has been kinder this 2 days of uploading. As I was uploading the photos, it really bring back memories of the trip and once again you are wondering why are you in SINGAPORE?? there is so much more to explore in Australia and any other country than here in Singapore. Yet, Singapore is one of the places with really good FOOD!!! and that is sth that cannot be beaten!! And one of the other aspect that i really miss when i was away is really the people in my life, you cant just call them and you meet them up as and when you would like to (as if you really meet up the people when you are in Singapore anyway right??)But one of the things that i really enjoyed is the Free & Easy part of your life when you are overseas, there is no appointments to rush to, no things that needs to be done but you live everyday at a slower pace and since Australia has ZERO night life sort, you would be home at about 10plus everyday, then just talk to each other and really spend time with one another which is not such a bad thing really! I guess sometimes we really need to slow down and really take a look at the things and people around us and not just rushing from one thing to another! (:
NUS-NTU ELEVATE Camp 2009 (15- 18 June)
Each year, we get together for a camp but this is the first ever Elevate Camp! Old School//Ring the Alarm! Though it was a little smaller t
han what we wanted it to be but it was great!!! people had fun and we had some resounding success from the way i look at it in terms of the running of the camp with only the small number of main comm that we have, how everything ran smoothly and the people who volunteered their time at the SWCDC camp this week! I think that truly the camp has left an impact in our lives and not to forget the new people and the friendships that are being forged! Camps are great! (:
N397 BBQ 18 June 2009
Actually was very tired cos spent the whole week at camp then ECP is so far away!! lols..but i am glad that i went down and really got to talk to some of the people like Shane, Jemuel and Adeline! (: I was not that hungry so I only ate a little and we got to celebrate Jun Eng's Birthday! (: Hope that everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves! (:

When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When it played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they've gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Looking back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
I'd listened to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When it played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they've gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Looking back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
It's yesterday once more
: : Yesterday Once More : : The Carpenters : :
I really really love the Carpenters when I was younger, maybe its the influence from at home. I particularly like this song!! Think that it was really nice! Heard it again during the Father's Day drama and am reminded of it. Think about it, how would your life be if you could live your yesterday once more? We know that it wouldnt happen but we would like to reminise on all the good times that we have had and sometimes, it becomes a stumbling block something that is pulling us back on the good old times and cause you to think that the present is nothing good and so groomy but there are also times when the good old times sets you thinking about your life now and how you used to have those visions and dreams and that shook you and wake you up and propel you forward again!
But thank God for memories and that help us to live a balance and healthy life! (:
Ok..off for haircut before heading over for the last instalment of the SOS!! Cant wait!! The one good thing that came out of breaking camp early is the free time that I have and also the ability to go for SOS!! (:

This post (or rather the first half of it) is dedicate to miss KRISTEN TENG!!! (:HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (: (:
Know that you are out there having lots of fun but i also know that you're a faithful reader of my blog. hahhaa.
I really appreciate and treasure a friend like you, though there are not alot of times that we actually meet up and stuff but you are always there for me and all. Like in the previous post, you were able to pick up some dubious hints that i was upset and disappointed and down (alright, i thought that i was pretty obvious!) but you were the only one who bothered to ask me what happened and how i was feeling. But more than that, you not only asked once but after that you continued to ask if i was better and if everything was ok! Thanks girl, i really really felt loved and concern from you and I guess sometimes we all just needed a little hug and a human touch to move on from a setback in our lives! (:
Time flies doesnt it, i seriously cant really remember how i got to know you, but i think it was the JC POS and thereafter, i really dont recall what happened after that, i know that there was Uni and all but nothing spectecular but you stood by as a friend and someone whom i can talk to about my problems and issues, someone who listens and never judges!! thanks so much, remember that when you are all rich and famous in the entertainment world- dont forget that you have a friend that is me ok?? (:
Anyhow, have a great birthday and may you find your tall and handsome hunk with a great body soon!! (and if he have a cute brother, please remember to intro!! ahhahaha) ok..all the jokes aside, may this year be filled with much love, peace and blessings like never before, where dreams come true and your heart's desires are being realised. And know that I love you very very much!! (:
*hugssss*
Love,
Wei

SWCDC Entreprenuership Challange Camp ended 3 days ahead of schedule cos orders were given from the MOE to stop the camp, the campers were sad and disappointed but all our health are more important but nevertheless, we really had a good time and there were so many things that we have learnt from the camp!! (:
We heard from the TP lecturer, Mr Gary Khoo from the Spectecle Hut (really!!!) and also the Mr. Bernard Lim from the Wealth College and we were all really looking forward to the session with Elim Chew (Founder of 77th Street) who was scheduled to share tonight but break camp was at 12pm..so NO session with Elim Chew (*sigh)..More than just learning from these success stories, when you interact with other facilitators and campers, you also begin to see what are some of the good points that you can learn from them as well as some of the things that you know and you will always remind yourself not to learn from them and certain attitudes and behaviour that you dont want to have in your own life!! everyone is not perfect and it is only through the interactions with one and other that you realised what is good and what is not that good.
On top of that, every camp, you get to know great people and the greatest thing is that, you get to learn so much from everyone cos everyone has their own stories and their own experience that you can learn and benefit so much from!! I love the way that we are created- we are all different yet becos of that, it makes our lives more interesting, fun and colourful!
My beloved School- YUAN CHING SECONDARY who won the most Rah-Rah Award!!! Guess that they take after who is leading them!! (: Great kids who would just cheer and give their all!! you guys are great!! (:

Uploading photos have really been a chore!! like seriously!! I think have to change the explorer and use sth else instead and not attempt to upload the whole day's worth of happenings at ONE go!! it will totally kill it!!! hahhaha..I will update about the Aussie Trip which alot of people are still waiting for it in anticipation after i clear another camp coming up this week and also finished uploading the photos on facebook. I think that Ziyun and Ping and Nick (he is at his day 15 larh..so i think it would be Sydney soon!!) would be doing a better job uploading than me!! hahaha..Pei you gotta prove the rest wrong still ok?? hahahha..Anyhow, the Elevate Camp ended just like that, in the twinkling of an eye, all the busyness and the restlessness that comes with it just ended as we break camp!!! I love camps! i think i must be crazy cos camps are masses of madness and xiong-ness all rolled into one, but at the end of it all, you see how bonded and connected everyone is, you realised that it is all worth it. Nothing bond people together more than spending a good 4days together going through "hell" and torture!! That's why i kind of think that army people are quite bonded together as well..hahah..that may just be wishful thinking on my part! hahaha..check with the army guys for a clearer picture! (:

you know that everytime when you make a decision and pray about sth- like what Pst Tan talk about a Moving- thereafter, you will face one of the worse thing that ever happen in your life (or so you think that is how it feels like anyway). The worse thing that can pierce through your heart is not the evil words that are spoken or the things that are done by the people whom you consider them to be evil in the first place, its the things that are spoken by the people who matter to you the most. So, at a time like this, you feel that there is no point that you care anymore, it is their lives, so, they make their own decision. Heartache- yes but life is about decision that you cant make for others. Yes, you see them in pain but perhaps, it is through all these that they will find what they really want. (yearh larh..uploading Australia photos reminded me of some stuff!!)
Taking a day trip to JB for the day..not going to be there for long though. I need to get away even if its just for the day. Disappointments and hurt seared through my heart like a hot iron.

Its been a long time since i last updated.Been more than a week since I came back from Aussie and the thing is this, once you are back in Singapore, you fall back into this meeting after meeting, things after things and people after people rote. Your schedule become arranged back-to-back, rarely giving you a time to breathe and an opportunity to do things free and easy. I was just thinking why in Aussie, it is even ok to miss the bus but back home, if we miss the bus or something, it means that we are late for the appointment that we have set up. Are we really so hard-pressed for time? Oh wells, i think it might be only me.
Prayer meeting and SOT Romans and Galatians on wed, the day after i touch down in Singapore. It was a crazy day, my flesh is crying out to me in agony and torture as i dragged myself out of bed- Thank God for the time difference, my body was still attuned to the timing of Aussie that was 2 hours ahead that I could drag myself out of the comfort of the bed. Well, to think of it, it was not really a comfort cos the temperature and the weather here is a far cry from comfort after experiencing the coolness of a winter weather! (: But I would say the Wed prayer meeting was nothing but far from ordinary. I was a little late and Pastor Kong already started with the praying in the Spirit, thereafter he got us to do some personal quiet time, before ending with corporate praying! The atmosphere and the presence of God was fantastic!! The answers the directions that I was searching for become clear to me and it was as if my eyes were opened!! Glad that I decided to cruxify my flesh and dragged myself to prayer meeting!! SOT was great- missed that kind of life!!! But of cos I am nonetheless not too excited about the prospect of doing the assignments again! ahhaha..
Friday SOS made me realised how glad i am to be back in Church, there is nothing and nowhere that I feel more at home in than right here where I belong!! Then it was celebrity weekend! The testimonies totally blew my mind away and Miss Indonesia is simply AWESOME!! Not only was she pretty, she was good with sharing about God and she has a fantastic voice!!! hee (: of cos the rest were great too!! So glad that F.I.R this time is not 2/3 here but all 3 of them are here!!! Esp glad that Laoshi is here together!! (: and the many many others!!
Monday to Thursday was ELEVATE' 09: Old School, Ring the Alarm!!! (: That is another long story but glad that everything went well and I finally get to have some rest today!! Sunburnt and lost my voice but nothing that cant recover!! (:
N397 BBQ!!! at ECP last night- Thanks to all the CGCs and all that helped to make it a success!! I know that Kenneth really helped alot alot!!! so thanks to Kenneth!! and the many others that graced the BBQ and Cyra's brother and cute cute cousin (whom Jiahui has lied to him to call me ah mah *jiahui, you dont know "die" how to spell right??*), i felt that it was a good time to relax and know each other!! (:
and then Max told me that HE GOT INTO ROUND 2 OF THE SINGAPORE IDOL!! (: Congras and know that I am proud of you!!! (:
SOS tonight- know that it is going to be great!! and LAUREL is going to be able to book out today!!! Cant wait to see hiM!!! and Supper with the Elevate Camp Main Comm..though my life is arranged back to back, i guess at times, this is the way that i like it! (:
Have a great day liwei!! and all who are around!! (:

Blogging from the living room of Siang's apartment in Sydney while the rest sleeps. Guess everyone is tired from all the activities that has been going on. Ping, Ah Pei and Ziyun took a day trip to Port Stephens while Siang and I hiked from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach in the morning before heading down to the city to do some shopping and more walking around.So, why am I here blogging when I am supposed to get some rest? Cos burning CD with all the photos from all the 4 cameras combined of the past 10 days so that we wouldnt have to pass thumbdrive here and there. Of which, there is a day of photos missing- that portion is with a new found friend that we know during the trip to Blue Mountains and since he uses a SLR- might as well ask him to help us!! (: *nice*
Well, i embarked on this journey to this foreign land 10 days ago with lots on my mind and things that I hope that I would be able to get sort of an "answer" for after doing some "soul-searching" and reflection. Fact is that, there is no time for much thinking or reflection. Instead, there are so much to explore everyday- things, people, places and so much more. So reflection and "answer"- not much achieved!! sigh..
But visiting a place like this brought me to a place where I cant help but to be amazed at the reality of God in creation. More than that, visiting and listening to the sermon at C3 church leave me with some food for thoughts which I would digest and to reflect after settling down at home (in the sunny, hot and humid weather!)
Certainly dont feel like going back, cos i just so feel like exploring the rest of this country- the Northern Territories, Central Australia, the much taboo and not to visit Melbourne, Brisbane, Tasmania, Perth and so on. The weather here is cold but much more welcome than the scorching Sun in Singapore. BUT I really miss the people in Singapore: Friends, Family and my CG. On top of that, i MISS the local FOOD in Singapore and evertything here are so expensive!! I am so broke now!! Go back everyone else got to feed me lest I eat air!! So, the exploration would be for another time and another season of my life.
Shall sleep soon and enjoy the remaining of my stay here..in the meantime, see everyone back in Singapore real sooN!
