News Alert!
JYC Camp I.D. is just round the corner and it's gonna be the most exciting yet! But then again every camp has been the most exciting yet. Just goes to show that it only gets better! Haha so if any one of you are free on 3-6 Dec, do join in! 4-6th is the official camp duration, 3rd is for the leaders (woohoo!). Camp camp camp! Would you still be excited about camp when you're in your twenties?
Sure thing!

Exam's on this friday night for me. See you all soon over the weekend! *big smile*
Miao, please get well soon. :)
Everyone else, make sure she doesn't eat junk food and drink cold drinks.
Team effort.

Ooh and it's Astrid's birthday today. She doesn't know about the blog so i won't post anything special for her, but if you're reading this and just realised that you forgot or didn't know, do wish her a belated or something! She'll be delighted. Bless her!

Exactly ONE month to marathon---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you feel the tension?

hehe. can be an adidas ad eh? or at least something Standard Chartered could use other than all those motivating ones they have which almost always leave a sigh to the one who has not trained enough and lacks confidence in her physical ability let alone capability. sniff. God, help me.
and YES, HE WILL. many people may think i'm stubborn but it's a choice made with His affirmation, His thumbs-up. my elder brother Simon smsed me one day and asked if i signed up which i hadn't then, and he sounded worried after i replied "maybe not". I gave thought to it and finally i came to a point in my heart where i really wanted to be there for my brother, even though he'll definitely finish before me and we may not run together (well, maybe the start when we'll say all the best to each other and then he'll trail off 'cos he's much faster), and that made me more inclined to join. But the deciding factor was God's go-ahead.

So i trust, YES, that i'll do fine. so cheer me on ok! no worried looks! everyone has different journeys, this is just part of mine and glad i can share it with you.
"my confidence since my youth" - the Living, Almighty GOD.

I love Jesus. He's so wonderful. I've learned joy, guarding joy, fighting for joy, and right now in my life there is joy. There were moments when joy faded and i had let it be stolen by the devil. It's a struggle alright, but God fights for me and He's won the battle for eternity, so i know this inheritance is forever mine. I wish for all to know and possess Jesus as your first love, for joy is the fruit that comes only from relationship with Him. Just sharing this as it's one of my best finds, one of my greatest treasures found in Jesus who's the truest treasure. T is like the shape of a cross; T for Treasure.

Yay i've internet connection!!! At Starbucks. hahaha better than nothing yea. I miss miss chatting online with yous. It used to be something i don't do often which became something i put effort in doing to something that accompanies me while at work. Now i've no idea why Subway restricted their wireless... i've to speak with the manager! haha. No kidding, he gives me discount and acknowledges me but he ain't around these days.. oh well.

Anyway! I fell sick over the weekend but i'm mostly fine now (get headaches like there's a huge block in it, really), still on medication, have been working more then normal and happy about it, and here's some pictures of a special treat of the week. Hehe smile, God is good!

Bea's "victory pose"

it was Bea's birthday :)

Only You

I spent a couple of hours watching a korean drama with ian this afternoon. hahaha yes, we're kinda hooked. Or rather, he's kinda hooked. Something that's so unlike him. I never thought he'd watch a korean drama. Makes a difference when the female lead's pretty. Exceptionally pretty out of all i've seen in korean dramas, i'd say. You've got good taste dear. hahaha. Thanks for spending the afternoon with me. I've something more in common with you now, at least for Only You huh? If you start getting excited about them then i'll probably get worried. haha.
Nah, you're cool. :)

Netballers' Night: Joycelin's not-so-farewell dinner

like a passover meal

this is funny 'cos it looks as though i'm digging Aletheia's nose.

Before you press play, i want you to know that this was ALL started by Joycelin. And guess who she decided to play it on? Harmless and innocent Sharon... who became her accomplice! *wink* So let's present Dawn, fastest fingers' reaction!



Netball rocks and you girls rock. Yeaaaaa! I'm still a little high from all that laughter. Is the noun of hilarious hilary? hehehehe is it? I just thought of it. Must have been all that essaying i've been doing these few days.
Anyway, I really enjoyed myself tonight. Thanks to Jing for the sparklers! Thanks to Jing again for bringing Joy and Ale to our weekly netball rendezvous! They've added so much to the gang. They're nuts. Thanks to everyone who made it for dinner. It was fantastico. Thanks babes.

Worship Him

It's always wonderful to see people worship God, singing their lungs out and raising their hands, forgetting who's beside, behind or in front of them, putting themselves in a position of vulnerability that only God deserves, giving Him all they have right there and then.

God is so worthy of that. SOo so worthy. I thought oh my i gotta capture this! Usually God would in His wisdom tell me it's not appropriate, but yesterday was one of the few exceptions!

Then during "This Is How We Overcome", Miao appeared beside me after going to the loo or something. I tried to make her dance but i could not! Maybe if she danced, her stomach would feel sick. I think that was the reason, can't really remember. But dear girl, i know you wanted to! hahahaha. I used to be shy and not wanna dance or jump or do anything noticeable but inside i really wanted to. It wasn't so much oh God i'll do it for You! That happened before and that was my personal worship to Him. But there was something that couldn't break and it needed my spirit, soul and body to take me across. I longed for that freedom. I wondered why i couldn't express my worship to Him exuberantly when that's who i am at home and when i'm alone!

But God took me on board a journey to break free, literally, not to be cheesy here, but from the inside out. My fears began to be revealed to me and i had the strength i didn't have before to face them. It's AWESOME. GOD IS AWESOME. The day i jumped and praised Him like crazy at a Planet Shakers conference in 2004, i knew whatever it was that held me down broke. Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!

So that's a little story for you. And i hope you'll have that freedom too, if you want it!!

And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. -----------2 Samuel 6:13-15

Morning date with ian at big M. He had to wait about 15min for me and that's patient and nice of him 'cos even though he knew i would most likely be late, he still came on time. Hee *grin*. I'm trying to kick this being late habit for years, and frankly, i believe it's do-able. Sorry for making anyone wait for precious minutes before alright? Hehe i'll continue trying yea. Soon, I will kick it!

Ooh and hey girls, thanks for your lovely company for swimming on fri! hehe, i love. I'm sure i'm darker now. *dances the chicken dance*

and Sam! I kinda miss you and your random comments. And your blur-ness. Glad to hear that you're having fun at work... hehe and we all know what you do. Like what nuo said, it's a calling man!

A day off

Woke up thinking should i go terrorise that girl at Raffles Place or should i just sleep and nua at home. I decided not to waste time and went for some purposeful meet-ups. After that, Jackie and Wenhua were free so we jalan-ed at Bugis and ended up at the arcade. Not an arcade person but it was a good workout for my fingers! King of Fighters, heh. And i was gonna beat Jackie at daytona but i wanted to make him happy. hahahahaha. So if you're reading this Jackie, how about a re-match soon?

You know Pizza Hut had a motto (or whatever you call it)? It's "Good Friends, Great Pizza". So here's to you all for today, though we didn't have pizza. Heh. Ta!

Welcome to my blog, MIAO! hahahaha. And everybody else in the future, um for as long as this lasts. Dedicated to people i know and love as you can tell by the blog's title. Whatever information shared here will not be for the defamation of anyone, only for the building up of each other and laughter for the good of the heart, hehe. Ok so this post is firstly and specially dedicated to Miao since she's been my faithful company these days at work! You rock girl! Not a loner la, just more of an introvert. :)
