Blackout

I saw the electric sparks flying out of the power point.
Before I could react, the whole house blacked out......
--------------
I was really excited to try out the curler I bought.
I thought I will look great-given the comments I have received in the previous entry.
But, I wasn't ready to part with my money so I chose the cheapest brand available.
Vanity vanity, all is vanity.
Little did I know that after I plugged in, it short circuit.
I was shocked!
I ran to my parents' room and asked my mom for help (well, she was already asleep).
And boy was she cool! Without battling an eyelid, she reached for the torchlight and did whatever she needed to do to "restore" the light.Sometimes I hope I have inherited this calmness of hers.
Anyway, I hope the store will give me a refund. I don't think I want a replacement and risk having another shock :p

Tugging, my heart

You can't remind someone what is not there.
I was reminded; it's still there.
---------------
To start afresh or continue the norm?
To stay the way it is or try out something new?

Insecurities

Creeping in...
Waiting for THE one.

If I permed my hair... ...

REFLECTION

This title usually appears at the end of the year.
It's only March now.
But if someone is lying on the sick bed and yet reproaching himself for possibilities of upsetting his leader due to the inability to bring friends, as that leader, I need to know whether I have been using the right approach in challenging members for souls.
I need to be alone for awhile.
Alone with God.

Happy Holidays

I would have been glad to enjoy the rest long belated.
Yet, I would rather be happy busying.
Busy meeting friends;
Busy talking to them;
Busy exchanging numbers;
Busy inviting them back.
My colleagues didn't turn up;
Many backed out.
It's not the disappointment that shot me lying on the ground; it's, the pain.
-----------------
On the same day, You laid motionless.
The third day, You rose victorious.
I will too.
We will.

Many Pics!

God is a good God

I realised I've got most of what I asked for Christmas :)
Some came a little late but better than never!

Night Safari

I wanna go :)
After Easter *wink*

Emcee Me

Alright, the Emcee became a joke today.
Choo, you win lor.
But thank God I did okay on stage :)
And oh! Yvonne said I looked younger than my age.But if I'm 28, I'm 28.
And oh oh! The men have been saying that I am verrrrrrri "siong". Must be those sessions with the contractors and engineers that caused my voice to be so loud and stern these days.
And oh oh oh! Pastor YK will HAVE TO attend my wedding dinner REGARDLESS of who the Bridegroom is. Don't care. If not, I'm NOT getting married.
----------------
Finally, I have time to catch Sky of Love tomorrow before chionging for Easter

1 + 10

This Easter, everything else is secondary-
Comfort, convenience, a good rest, New York New York, shopping, vacation etc.
1 + 10.
I believe; We can.

Talking Ping

I really like to talk.
Or should I say, I am overly curious about strangers which explain the initiatives?
I realise I like to spend time with besties;
I like to spend time with newbies.
But when it comes to people whom I know but not in depth, I turn speechless.
I guess this is an essential stage.
Besties don't turn besties overnight. *wink*

Brittle Bones, Aching Back

Ouch.
I am old.

Just when I thought...

Just when I thought I am coping well with E47, N154 is in hot soups;
Just when I thought I am drawing my adults closer to God, the youth seems to be drawing further away;
Just when I thought the less committed are getting more committed, the vice versa is happening concurrently;
Just when I thought the backslidden are returning to the House of God, the residents are hiding from the family of God;
Above and beyond, I am learning to see the faithfulness of God because He:
Never draws away,
Is most committed,
Doesn't play the hiding game.
We say, sow and you will reap.
But what has He done to deserve this?
Truly,He remains faithful when we are faithless.
I want to be like Him.
So when she is faithless, I continue to be faithful. Believing, waiting, calling, smsing and searching.
And if anyone tries to take her away, I will not spare.
Anyone who rejoices seeing her leave church, I despise.
And anyone who influences her to compromise, you deserve a thumbs-down, big time.

Friday

#1 DRAGON
Yes yes, I'm blogging about him- not out of nowhere but because I saw him somewhere.
A man whose life God saved and changed; a transformation made possible only by Him and not man.
I am so encouraged.
I look forward to having someone like him in my cell-Going all the way for Christ because all was given by Christ.
#2 E47
We had a great meeting and a good time of fellowship, pre and post.
I love one-to-one time out with my girls. Can go deep.
I like to hear the other party speaks when it is just 2 of us but I will rattle on when it becomes a group gathering.
Partly being, how personal can I get with 10 over peeps?
Anyhow, strong presence and strong challenging during the short 1 hour meeting.
The toliet floor was wet but I managed to find a space to kneel.
I really prayed and it was good.
Thank You.It is You :)
#3 KERN AND FAITH
Congrats!
I love to see happy face.

On behalf of her, I want to say...

Sorry.
This came a little too late but what would a 21 year-old know?
She was both excited and anxious, to be up close and personal with you. This was like a dream come true for her.
She had never imagined to stand just an arm's away from you, breathing the same air and sharing the same room.She heard your voice so clear and loud without having to see you from afar.
She would have traded anything in exchange for this.
Yet, what would a 21-year old know? She just couldn't be herself in your presence, could she?
Perhaps she was in too much of a hurry to express how she thinks and feels, resulting in an unexpected response from you.She didn't have a clue how to handle as it was against the norm she was used to.
Who could she speak to? She wouldn't want to be mocked at so she had to let go of you.
It was a nightmare she had to forget and she thought it would be best that you forget too.
So she put on the look that puzzled you and finally, she got what she asked for-something she regretted too.
On her behalf, please forgive her. She wouldn't get a chance again, to be up close and personal with you, to tell you how sorry she feels.

爱了就知道

好歌!
但一定要祷告,才会得到祝福 ：）

歌手:戴爱玲
词:姚若龙 曲:joon-shin yoon

睡的不多
可是梦却好多
有什么紧紧塞在我的胸口
像酸甜的苹果
又像会飞的气球
我常常想你想到泪流
每天不同
这关系太难受
偶尔像情人又像是好朋友
心悬在半空里
面带着微笑忧愁
会安全降落或摔得很疼痛

感情被懂得是一种幸福
等待着被懂得是一种孤独
越来越不能忍受你的暧昧模糊
我要我要我们都一样的投入

不必先祷告
爱了就知道
一用了真感情
会留下回忆变成美好
不想管警告
爱了就知道
感受所有的过程才重要
身为男人你不要
比我胆子还要小
有感觉就该让我知道

Does absence make one's heart fonder?

Apparently, NOT for Keighley.

Snaps

It's NOT just another manic weekend

Busy, yes;
Tired, couldn't agree more.
Yet what am I, hearing the so much the so many are doing.
"I am willing to go"-a promise made 4 years ago, forsaken and forgotten.
I picked up the courage to say "yes" once again, putting aside my inadequacy and placing my total reliance on Him.
It is not me, it is Him.
-----------------
Reuben, Veron, Huifang, Zhongwen, Raymond and Dennis- I am waiting.
Coming.
-----------------
It must be the love stories I have been watching.
How did it get so bad recently?
