10 yrs ago...

Realised that everyone's been laughing at my secondary school photos... hehe let me now upload some more for U guys to laugh at...



Wei and I on our first trip to Perth... at Freo



Mummy, I, da jie jie, wei and papa... U guys can see how much I've grown since 11... :)



Wei and I at the Pinnacles in June 1997



Wei, da jie jie, Jenny and I on exactly 5 days before my 11th birthday



Me... on my 10th birthday... 18/6/1996

Day 3... How blessed I was

Headed up to Busselton before heading for home...

all I can say is...

WOW...

Wow... the scenery was breath-taking...

Wow... The walk on the jetty was LONG but refreshing...

Wow... I was so blessed...

Busselton beach



Busselton Jetty... Look at the long long long long jetty...



We walked to the end~!!!!!!! 2km of exercise :)



The vast ocean(or sea????)



I was blessed because it was sunny... fine weather...

I was blessed because of the ocean that I love... the clear waters really blew my mind...

I was blessed because I saw people catch sotong...

I was blessed because... I saw my favourite animals in the wild~!!!!!! Dolphins~!!!!! They were just swimming around and I saw them swimming cuz the water was so clear... Saw their fins... saw them come up to get some air... Saw them swim randomly...

I am a girl... who as been blessed...

BY A GREAT GOD

:)

Day 2... Headed up to Dunsborough

Day 2~!!!!

We headed for the cascades...



Beautiful beautiful limestones with water running down the stones... Wish I could say the scenery was breathtaking... Sorry but no... it could do with some maintenance... BUT the water was coldddddd

Then we drove on and saw...



Persimmon trees~!!!!!!! Jack's mum was very excited... :)

Then we went to the Beethelup falls... Don't know why I didn't take a photo of the water... maybe cuz I wasn't standing at a good angle...

BUT...



2 beautiful girls standing beside the falls...

Then... we drove on to a winery called the Voyager Estate...

Had lunch there... The scenery was breathtaking...









That's where I want to have a date.... That's where I want to hold my wedding... That's where all beautiful things start and end... (Well I'm just kidding) But seriously... It's a nice place to have a date...

Then we headed for Dunsborough beach...



The sea was beautiful... clear water... :)

I must say that I didn't actually think that Australia had chalets... BUT they do...

In Dunsborough...



It was a 1.5 storey house, with 1 decent master bedroom, and the "attic" had 4 single beds with very very very ward comforter...



The fireplace... Wowwwww... this is the first time I've actually seen a fireplace in my entire life... :)



The Master Bedroom... This was actually taken on day 3, when all the facilities had already been fully utilised...

Just came back from a trip from down south... With Jack, Da Jie Jie, his parents and his nephew...

Lots of interesting incidents happened along the way...

Day 1

We set off at 8:00am and drove on... After 2 hours we got to Bunbury... then we drove on for a further... 2 hours? and we stopped at a place called Manjimup Chinese restaurant for lunch, cuz Jack's dad insisted on having chinese.



What are your first thought??? When I saw it I thought it wasn't open... cuz the curtains were all drawn... until I saw the open sign...

Went in, sat down, ate a plate of fried noodles and fried chow meehoon...

They provided a super super huge portion of noodles BUT it tasted horrible... the fried bee hoon had no salt (NO TASTE) and the noodles were too salty~!!!!!!!

That was all we had and guess what the bill turned out to be???

Da Jie Jie: $41
Jack's Nephew (Let's call him man zai) : $65-75
Kaiting: $35

Your guess???
.
.
.
.
.

$74.50 for 6 people...



OUCH~!~!!!!! We were very unhappy though... Firstly... we didn't ask for a 1.5 portion, they just took it into their own hands to do 1.5 portion for everyone... and who on earth charges $2 for a cup of chinese tea???? That's just crazy~!!!!!!

So the moral of the story??? NEVER go to manjimup chinese restaurant for food...

Then we went to this place called the diamond tree... the 3rd(I think) highest look out place... U could climb all the way up... it was SCARY... Imagine climbing 52m above ground and looking down... Sorry it's just not for me... I only climbed like 10 steps??? Max 20... and I already couldn't take it... Don't blame me for being scared of heights~!!!! haha...



I admit I do have a big butt







Looking up~!!!!!!! Does it make u nauseous??? hehe

Next we drove on to Pemberton...

WE checked into a quaint little cottage house with 3 bed rooms, 2 having 1 double bed each and 1 having a double deck bed and 1 single bed... I absolutely adore the house even tho it doesn't have very nice bathroom and toilet... (Maybe cuz the tiles were green and the water had no pressure coming out of the shower head) BUT...



Where do you find a chalet with electric blankets in bed, a nice kitchen (mind you with utensils provided and stove, microwave and fridge... and even salt and pepper lest you needed to cook), a fireplace, TV and DVD player, plus towels and face towels and even hangers included...?????

They even had a backyard and bbq stove included~!!!!! The surrounding nature was beautiful... Lush green grass with chickens, sheep, dogs, and even a lop eared rabbit that I affectionately call bit bit (In my mind)



And saw a robin~!!!!!



nuff said :)

We headed down to a trout pond where we fished for trout...



Trouts jumping in water~!!!!! (Wish I could have gotten a shot of that)



And what did we get???



Yummy trout...

Headed home... :)

CONGRATULATIONS TO MISS CHONG YEE MEI FOR GETTING HER PERMANENT RESIDENCY~!!!!!!!!

:)

Break my heart for what breaks yours...

Frances brought up this point... Really really touched me...

Break my heart for what breaks yours, daddy...

:)

By the way, did I tell you guys how touched I am by my cell members????

Due to mysterious reasons, I cried after church yesterday... (AND the reasons are really mysterious, not many know, only probably 1/2 of the whole church do)

And after that Lewis comes up to me... with a really really concerned look on his face...

"KT, are you OK???"

And me, being me, obviously goes "Ya... I'm OK"

And everytime he looks at me, he's got this really really concerned face, which makes me want to hug him (with sisterly love, cuz he looks like this adorable little kid), mixed with worry... which makes me really thankful that I've got a cell member like that~

After baptism, Lewis came up to me and goes "Kaiting, can I pray for you???"

SO SWEET CAN?????? And I was so touched~!!!!!!!!!

And at night, Frances msges me and goes "Kaiting are you oK????"

Gosh... Really really really, my heart just melted... :) Am really blessed by my cell members...

And am really blessed that at church there was my sister to cry with me...

:) BUT... as I promised myself, and God... I will learn to be stronger... Like grasp on tightly and not let go... and yet not be a cry baby anymore...

Jubilation 2000

Got this off Wanyi's blog... Chinese School can only sing chinese song... I agree with that... grinZ...

Part of the school performance in 2000... Can you spot me???? Now watch closely~!!!!!!!

First song is about lilies... haha I suspect I got my love for lilies from this song... Kidding... And song 2 talks about the river in china called Chang Jiang...

It's awesome... haha Memories... :)

Touched me... If U were quite confused as to why...

My own interpretation: First, this man (like us) are very much on fire for God... Then he carries the cross up and walks the journey with Him(God). Then later when more and more burdens come up... eg School work, family problems, relationship problems... God seems to be at the back of your mind... Happy happy then do QT, happy happy then pray... BUT in the end we lose touch with God more and more... Then we lose ourselves as well... BUT in the end... Jesus is still holding on... As long as you don't let go...

As long as you don't let go...

Mummy

Through the storms and the rain
You'll always be the same
Guiding me, walking me through
Even though I've grown

I know I'll always be your little girl
In your eyes always cherished
With all care and with all love
Like a flower, pampered and grown

Mummy the words are simple
Just 3 words I love you
I know these may seem superficial
But to me they mean so much more

Mummy I'll always cherish you
Because you cherished me more
I promise I'll never let you go
Because you never did to me

And now reaching the new phase of life
Turning 21
I know I'll always find in you
A place called love

Poem made up for my mummy... :)

An amazingly strong and beautiful woman from the inside out... I wish I was more like her~!!!!!!!

Indeed, it takes more than strength to raise 4 kids BUT she has done it all...

And I love you indeed, mummy :)



Sorry ya I dun really know how to make it nicer... hehe cuz I edited our photos in paint and me being me... yes Kaiting... Don't know how to make it nicer...

So do U think I look like my mum???? Ain't she just pretty??? :)

Trust me, Father

I call this post the "Trust me, Father" post... It shows the desperation of Reuben, and how much He really needs Jacob to trust him in this decision

"Then Reuben said to his father, 'you may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back(from Egypt)'. BUT Jacob said 'My son will NOT go down there with you; His brother is dead and He is the only one left. If harm comes to Him on the journey you are taking, you will bring my dray head down to the grave in sorrow."

I won't talk much about the background, read it as you go...

"Father, trust me!" He desperately calls out to his father. I imagine that in his heart he must have been so torn, yet so desperate. Desperate to get the supplies of food to feed the family, him having the responsibility because he's the eldest son. Yet torn that he had to give up his brother and may not even get to see him again. BUT he is willing to take the risk for the family, and even puts his sons as "deposits".

BUT his father turns him down flat. At this point of time, I would (in my humble opinion) suggest that Jacob was thinking and using his limited mind "what is going to happen to me if Benjamin dies, just like Joseph did? He's my only offspring with Rachel now that Joseph is dead, and my only living memory of her!"

How could he trust Reuben? Reuben had let him down so much! He slept with Jacob's concubine and failed to keep Joseph out of harm.

So this got me thinking. What about my life? As Kaiting? I have done so many wrong things in my life, that I think if my father knew everything, he wouldn't trust me anymore. What more our father in heaven, who knows everything?

BUT eventually I see that God still trusts me with his treasures, and his talents and His people through His blessings on me. He isn't limited in thought like Jacob. Instead, He continues to trust that I will emerge stronger. Which is why He gives unconditionally. Because He trusts me, and he trusts you too. Even without you pleading "Father, trust me".

He has trusted you from the day you were born, and till the day you die, He will never stop trusting you.

Friends, what is your mindset of God? Do you see Him as someone who lost faith in you ages ago??? I want to encourage you to open up your heart. To Him again... Because you will see that He has never let you go...

Some thoughts about prayer...

Before I go on, think about this... When was the last time you have opened your heart enough for God to talk to you???

Friends tell me "I've actually read the bible, I know the bible... but I dun feel God talking to me"

So I'll ask you this question back... "When did you allow God to talk to you???"

Sometimes I feel so lost, trust me, I feel the same as like every single one... "Why doesn't God talk to me???"

N then I realise... Maybe I haven't opened my heart big enough to let Him talk to me...

Or maybe I haven't been listening to Him...

You know, sometimes I think God speaks to us especially when we are broken... Broken emotionally...

Let me tell you a story, about a girl... She wasn't too old, only 17... Few months before her 18th birthday, this girl was sitting in her bed... and she just had an argument with her boyfriend. Her parents were against everything she did... And though she knew that there was a god, she didn't know him yet... She felt that God was far away from her and not with her...

She wanted to die...

She had suicidal thoughts...

She almost ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife...

She screamed in bed, and her tears fell like the rain...

Then she cried out to God... and asked for God to be with her...

She cried and cried... her heart was really broken...

Then God said "Do not worry... you are safe within me"

And immediately she felt the warmth... She felt the peace... Because of God's reassurance that He is constantly with her...

I'm sure when the girl heard about what Pastor Teresa said on Sunday, she would have felt the same emotions... The same feelings that Pastor Teresa would have felt when she said "God I hate this life..."

Because... at that point in time, the girl hated her life too...

So now you wonder... why is Kaiting sharing this story?

Just want to encourage you to open up your heart to God... For those of us who feel that "Yes, I know and believe that there's a God... but why haven't I heard Him yet???"

That's because I believe that... maybe you haven't truly opened up your heart to Him... Indeed, the best time that we get to know Him is through brokenness... So come to Him with a broken heart... Not to say that you have to feel all suicidal like that girl... BUT come to Him with a heart that's ready to be filled and mended by Him...

Because all He wants to give is peace, love and protection to those who love Him...

Let me share something about QT yesterday...

Am in a pretty bad state recently... haha... probably due to exam stress... (I think that's the main thing)~!!!!!

BUT still God's been faithful... and He's just been so awesome...

Through Cell group word, through the sermon yesterday... He answered my prayer to Him when I broke down and asked "God what am I doing to the lives You've entrusted me with"

And all the answers come back to "Kaiting, I have given you whatever you can handle..." and "Kaiting, seek first my kingdom and ALL the rest will be added to you..." and "Kaiting... I can do it all"

Genesis 31:24
Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, "Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad"

Background story was that Jacob ran away from Laban because Laban kept cheating him and he realised "this can't go on~!" so he decided to run away, taking Laban's daughters (His wives) and Laban's grandchildren.

So I imagine that when Laban came back from working outside, be it at the fields or something else, his servant ran towards Him going "Jacob has left~!!!! He's left this note saying he's leaving us forever~!!!! Master, He left with everything that has belonged to him, and even your Gods~!!!!!" For Rachel, His daughter stole all his gods...

I would imagine that Laban would have felt very angry, lost, and chased out in aggression. He gave chase... and I imagine he probably had intentions to harm Jacob. But God stepped out. He said "Do not say anything to Jacob, either good or bad". At this point of time, God's still faithful, even though Jacob was put in a situation that may have resulted in war between 2 clans, God's still faithful to take all Jacob's problems in His hands...

So I looked at my own life... Look at yours... Maybe you've been trialed and tested so much for God... Like Jacob has been cheated so much by Laban, but he still held on to God's promises... Maybe there's uncertainty in the future... BUT God is faithful, and He's always with you... To His enemies, He'll protect you against them. He'll say "DO NOT TOUCH HIM/HER" So let go of your problems... Flee from your enemies... Flee from the problems that are encircling your life... BUT if you do have to face them, face them with boldness... and always be certain that God is with you.

-In His Love-
Kaiting

It's a beautiful love story

:)

Have got the feeling that I'll get food poisoning any time soon...

GriNZ... just cuz I was too lazy to cook anything so I just took the first available thing from the fridge and microwaved it to eat... N I realised that it's probably been there for... 2 weeks???

Eating at 9pm... No joke... No wonder I'm so hungry I could eat a cow~!!!!!!

*Hinting that I'd like to eat some steak now*

Oh ok I'm just kidding...

Yee Mei called and reminded me I'm turning 21 in 1 month's time~!!!! ASked me what I'd like to do... hehe... really want to treat all my close friends to dinner... just because I want to bless them on my 21st birthday... BUT I know most of them are still having exams...

Oh wow... the number 21... the number which seemed so far to me ages ago... Now that I'm turning 21, I'm feeling a bit...

I know 21's the age you get the golden key... the age where you're free from your parents "grip", the age where you gain freedom... tho not ultimate... At 21 you get the golden key...

Anyone gonna give me a golden key this year??? Hopefully a house key or a car key too???

Am kidding...

*Anyone want to let me crash their car?*

When I turn 21... What is it that I would like to have??? I really wonder...

Believe that I'm the kind of person whereby words of encouragement are my major love language...

So I'd love a collage of photographs with heaps of meaningful words~!!!!! So that the whole world knows that at least someone loves me... :)

U know... to me, gifts don't really matter that much... at times I want someting just because I want it, not because I need it... Just because it looks good, not because it's essential...

So Just a card, filled of words truly from the bottom of your heart to me would be awesome...

Let's cut out the words like "U're a truly beautiful girl with a beautiful heart"

See that all the time~!!!!! :P

So... challenge to you: Would you do something to make my 21st birthday a truly awesome one??? pretty pleasseeeeeeeee :) Write me a card to show how much you love me~!!!!!!!

OK I am just kidding... It's the season of study right now... and U know what???? study season makes everyone a lil crazy...

LOVE ya all...

-Kaiting- Princess in pink

I know I really am supposed to be sleeping right now...

But I can't sleep and I really don't feel like sleeping...

Having worship music playing softly in the background while i type this... Was just looking at my darling piglet's blog...

Dear I understand how hard it must be for U... especially when people say things unintentionally and they hurt you...

Sometimes I hate it... especially when people compare my grades with fellow pharmacy students. Yes God tells us to be the head and not the tail... I Understand I really do... but then it just doesn't show... I study hard... I go to all the lectures... I serve... but sometimes people just misunderstand me... "Kaiting why are you still getting this kind of results?" Very unimpressive... indeed...

Yes and my dear girl... indeed God has never left you... He never has... no matter how broken you feel... no matter how broken everything around you seems... He can heal your broken heart... He sees your hurts and fears... He knows your ways... and even when you fail Him, He loves you. Indeed this week has been a week of broken-ness for me too. God knows why I cry all the time. Only He knows why I do stupid things over this week...

Yet He still loves you... and He loves me... Beneath all the cover, and beneath the make-up ;)

Just heard from ah mah that Mummy and Daddy are planning to sell the current house and buy a bigger house elsewhere in JB... Upon hearing the news I cried... 21 years of my life... memories of growing up... Memories of Micky, Bubble, and "Bit bit" <-- our rabbit... Memories of... even the yucky goldfish...

Memories of the times we caught tadpoles and killed them because we changed the water...

Memories of the 6 yrs of Firecrackers that I can't stand... and the fireworks that are set 2 doors down, which look like Australia Day at your door step... wu3 long2... wu3 shi1...

Memories of Adeline, and I acting for ah teh... Liang po po~!!!!!

Memories of Adeline, ah wei and I... growing up, fighting with each other, even making ah wei fit into the role of sleeping ugly...

Memories of the times Uncle and Auntie drove down from Kluang to spend CNY at my place...

Apom-malek Kacang Putih

Sui ku calling me buu chut chut...

Piano lessons... which I so affectionately hate...

Ah yeh... Ah kong...

Screaming competitions at ah mah...

Sliding down the stairs with a mattress... imagining that we were princess jasmine-- Da jie jie, er jie jie and me...

The double decker bed

The 2 roll out beds...

The room which isn't too big, yet can fit 4 people, 2 chairs, 1 TV, 2 wardrobes, 1 computer...

Teaching Mickey to climb up the stairs...

Waking up at 4:50 am everyday to go study in Singapore...

Crying every weekend when it was time to leave to go to Singapore to stay with auntie LK...

The wooden chairs...

The toilet which has got centipedes in them...

No hot water system so we always shower with cold water...

Sleeping at night and no need to turn on the fan because the wind is so strong...

Talking till the break of dawn with Adeline then pretending to hide under the blanket asleep when ah mah wakes up to go to the toilet... (But we always get caught anyway)

Climbing up the gigantic bookshelf to get photograph albums...

Jumping from bed to bed and then knocking myself... that's how I got 2 scars on my knees...

Burning myself because I tried burning paper and locking myself in the room cuz I was scared mummy would scold me...

The short walks to the store... and ocean... and to the coffee shops outside... and to the hairdresser...

7 eleven...

Mamak stalls just 1 min walk away...

Ah teh... scolding me... throwing tantrum because she can't get the job well done...

"Leni why you cook the old mother chicken?????~!!!!!"<-- I still giggle at that

Pasar malam just 15 min drive away....

Driving range which I used to hate...

So many so many memories... If they really sell the house...

Guess these memories are still etched into my heart...

Maybe it's time to move on...

As I'm sitting here editing the last bit of my resume and cover letter, a thought suddenly struck me...

I am moving to a new phase of life...

A phase where I will have to learn to be fully dependent on my own...

A phase where I will learn how to spread my wings and fly... into the real society, into a world without the protective arms of my parents, of my sister...

A phase where I will learn the harsh truth of life, harsh truth of reality...

And hopefully meet the guy of my dreams...

And fall in love...

And get married...

I must say I am
1) Apprehensive
2) Scared
3) Fearful

About what the future might have in store for me...

But oh well... enough of my fantasies...

Time to focus on my resume... and *scream* my studies

Love
Kaiting

AVOIDING HEARTBREAKING 101

Guys... if U don't like a girl...
DO NOT
1) Give her the false impression that U like her... Even if you are the kind that's super nice and sweet... KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
2) Message her stuff that may seem trivial to you... like "Hey haven't messaged you today, it feels weird" BECAUSE girls and guys work differently... what may seem really trivial to you may seem really sweet to her
3) Ever comment that she's beautiful...
4) Get too close to her...
5) Play with her mind... eg. get really close to her, not physically but emotionally... and in 2 seconds, just a snap of the finger and start to stay away... and get really close again... and stay away again...

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT... get too close to a girl... BECAUSE... She'll grow tired... and she'll learn to dislike you... and hate that feeling...

Girls, if you don't like a guy...
1) Turn him down at first sign when you think something's wrong
2) Don't get too close to him... even physically... U might think hitting's just part of ur life... but to him it might mean the world when U hit him even playfully...
3) Get the message clear across to him everyday if U want to remain as friends BUT U don't want it to progress too far...
4) Let him know from the start where U are looking at going...
5) NOT to, I repeat, NOT to be too nice to him...

That's from me~!!!! How to avoid breaking a heart 101 lol...

Guess if U want to avoid getting your heart broken... keep away from becoming too close to that particular person... and that involves sharing your personal life and details...

Love ya all~!!!!!!

God was so real today... Yet again and again...

Really felt like crying...

Tho' it was a child dedication service... I just felt that God was so real to me... That He was trying to tell me something...

What does it mean by child dedication?
- Commiting your child back to the LORD, and give him/her into HIS hands... that HE can be the sole guardian who leads the way, who shows you how to lead your child into righteousness...
- Admitting to God that you cannot do it by your own strength, but you depend solely on HIM to lead your child...
- Giving your child back to God, making a commitment that you will teach your child to grow in Christian ways...

Indeed, it seems so easy... To me, I was sitting there thinking... Definitely I'll commit my child to the LORD when I have one, last week when I saw the announcement for child dedications in the church...

BUT today, I was sitting there thinking... "God it's not easy..."

It's not easy to... when I have a boyfriend to commit him to God... Let him serve faithfully without me by his side...

It's not easy for me to release my husband to serve the Lord...

It's even less easy for me to give my child to the Lord... Like Abraham did... in Genesis 22... when God commanded him to give him Isaac... He didn't ask. He didn't protest. He gave willingly... He was willing to burn his son.. because God asked...

I constantly ask myself... If God had asked me to do this, would I have done it...

My answer is "no"

So... child dedication is not that simple...

BUT I made that decision today...

That everything I have, everything I own... Everything I will have... My family, my relationships, my love life, my work, everything I have... I commit to God's hands...

This includes not fighting against his will for me...

The Prayer

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

La luce che to dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

People have asked me...

"Kaiting ah... why U don't have boyfriend ah???"

My answer...

Full time student + full time cell leader + full time shepherd + full/part time working...

HOW TO HAVE BOYFRIEND??????

I rest my case...

:)

Me and Frances... Oh well she says I'm photogenic... boo hoo... I wonder if it's an insult or a compliment??? hehe just kidding my dear... U look great and U danced awesome on Sunday too~!!!!!!



Easter Camp group photo on 9/4... Somehow I wish I was there the full camp... I KNOW God was there... but I wish, somehow there was a way I could be there... Am even willing to overlook the dirty bathrooms and toilets~!!!!!! Gee... I really wish I could be there... Easter camp, like every year just gets better... and more awesome...


After Mega Praise... All sweaty yet pretty and ready to pose~!!!!!


Take 2~!!!! Awesome... Chu~!

I still think the pretty girls in church come from my cell group... hehe :P

Happy belated Aprils fool everyone... Got the chance to fool someone???

Well as for me, I got to listen to Usha fool pastor, had my fair share of fooling karen...

I think I was pretty silly...

Anyway last night was awesome... Went to The Royal to celebrate Karen's birthday... 22 ppl in total, it was great...

http://www.royalbarandbrasserie.com.au/

Got some Spaghetti Marinara, I'm sure all of U know how spaghetti marinara looks like, so I don't have to elaborate or put some pictures up...

Then I was looking at some people around me going "U want? U want?"

and Jimmy was like "Hmm... no la I bet it won't be enough for U"

and I was like... :(

hehe I wasn't really sad la... But I know I deserve that comment simply cuz I eat so so so much... that I think I could eat the whole sky if it fell down...

So anyways, I ate that... and it was pretty good... tho a tad too salty... And that ended my dinner, nothing fabulous, just OK... And silly me, cuz I set my watch 1 hour before for daylight savings... I forgot to set it back... So then I looked at my watch and go...

"Oh gosh it's 8:30 already" when we started ordering...

Then I looked at Lawrence... and go "is it really 8:30???" or something like that...

And Usha and Lawrence both let me know that my time was a lil cacat... So then i had to set my watch an hour slow...

BUT BUT BUT...

I just cut my nails recently... so I couldn't pull the dial out (oh by the way it's a feminine mechanical watch which is PINK) and so I had to get someone to pull it out for me...

SO SILLY~!!!!!! And anyway this shows how often I Wear watches... Used to wear them more frequently... BUT not anymore... STILL I like watches... actually, I love watches... It's just cuz... U know that feeling where U stop wearing watches for a while cuz the battery stops and U can't get used to wearing watches anymore???

I was like that...

Haha... And yesterday I went crazy with make up... Foundation, eyeliner, blusher, lipstick... 2 colours for eyeliner, black and blue~!!!!! hahaha... Awesome... I told Lawrence bout stages that girls go through...

There's the time where U aren't so ai4 mei3... Or rather the phase... That phase where nothing really matters, even though U have really ugly hair, or really ugly dressing... U being very comfy with urself, and ur looks... And ur circle of friends around you...

Then u slowly, through time, through environment, through changes in friends around you, start to change as well... You start to see the importance in dressing, in make up, in wearing skirts... Trust me... the only skirt I wore till I was 18 was the chung cheng high school uniform skirt... And seriously, I hated skirts...



Me... 2004

The me now photos... just scroll down and see them la...

Big change...

Oh well... haha I feel like sleeping d... Will post up some photos after I get them from Karen they all...

We sang Karen a birthday song, by the riverside... will update soon...

So sweet man...

hehe... anyway, I shall go to bed soon...

Night night... love ya all guys...

I really love this clip la...

I think it's so funny... esp cuz I stay in Aus, and when I go to manicure and pedicure it's like done all by vietnamese...



Have a look... hope it's not too racist for U guys...

Hilarious

Take me, Mould me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

Convicted as I sing this song...

Take me, mould me, use me, fill me... I give my life to the Potter's hand...

How many times have I told God... God I give you my heart, my worries... use me, mould me...
and yet take it back to myself...

How many times have I told God... "God it's time to let go... teach me how to let go... how to let go" yet I always take it back for myself...

A jumble of thoughts...

I don't know how to phrase it...

Just pray for me oK???

Love

Cute MV...

Nice song...

I like SHE... :) I know U usually mostly get guys who go... OH gosh SHE is soooooo cute... I like SHE too~!!!!! haha... just cuz they are just cute in general, not those girls who pretend to be cute oh wellz...

Some other girls I feel are genuinely cute include
1) Yang Cheng Ling (Rainie Yeung)
2) Cyndi Wang

That's about it... can someone teach me how to be genuinely cute... haha I'm just kidding

I don't know why I can't seem to copy the song onto here... well

:)

Some guys just never fail to AMAZE me with their childishness...

Weird how some people can be so high up in their career ladder yet be so childish...

Sorry I'm getting a bit anal here... BUT I think oh well I shall not disclose too much here... Lest the whole world knows who I'm annoyed about...

Daylight savings are almost getting to an end... A bit of a shame, really... Cuz I pretty much enjoy the daylight savings, gives me more time to call home really... LIke when I call home at 10 here, it's only 9 back home... and so I get more chance that my parents aren't sleeping yet...

Other than that... yea... it turns dark at 8pm which is really not that bad considering that few months ago it turned dark at 9~!!!! Cell leaders had to announce to cell that it was gonna be end of daylight savings...

As usual, I really love my cell group, even those who are hard to love~!!!!!!

They really make my day, esp since I've got an amazing bunch of core whom I believe can grow so much more if we put them in a position to grow... :) Love ya guys and I really appreciate the effort that you've put in for cell even tho I don't say it...

Had my tutor visit, nuff said... It was bad... Didn't know what she was after, but oh well... it's really awesome, though quite daunting that I had to sit in front of her and answer all the questions... It's daunting cuz it's someone who actually knows her stuff and for me, hmm... I don't really know mine... This has kinda served as a wake-up call to be more meticulous in my work. For someone like me, who loves leaving things to the last minute, it just doesn't work cuz things pile up and before long, it's visit number 2.

Really love my placement area tho, my bosses are really nice to me. And the boss doesn't mind me bossing him around, cuz it's in-grown in my character... But I really look up to him... Really like him as a boss tho he's only young... BUT he's really good and knows a lot... Fun in the pharmacy cuz I know everyone loves everybody... so yeah... I love the staff, I hope they love me~!

:)

Sometimes people disappoint you... I understand how U feel in the process... dear... sometimes it's hard to see the point, cuz when someone's madly in love with another person, all you can see is that person... and fails to see the rest... Sometimes we let lust take over our relationship life... and I believe that's what's happening... Maybe it's too early for us to judge... but dear, don't be sad... and if U do need someone, I'l be here for U...

I love my cell... :) I think U guys are awesome... :)

Pretty girls in my cell amen~!

I was in a bad mood today...

Nuff said... just in a mood to complain...

Just cuz I'm sick and tired of working... Working working and working... It's like I rarely have a break, the only break I have is 1 Sunday in 2 weeks...

Am pretty sick of it... Plus the other girls were talking during lunch... And they quit their casual job once they started rotation just cuz it was getting too much for them to bear... And I was kinda sian about it... Esp just thinking... "Why am I doing all this?"

Working for my living...

BUT thank God I only have to pay my phone bills...

Thank U to those who allowed me to complain to them...

今天的我, 心里比较脆弱...

因为... 梁凯婷毕竟是人,她不是神...

今天非常希望有个男生在身边似的... 有双耳朵来聆听自己发的牢骚...

但是...

人毕竟要长大... 不能一辈子依赖他人... 小公主需要成长...

On a lighter note... I was cheered up after I saw Yan Pin's birthday photos~!!!! It was really cute hey... haha Sue anne says I've got apple cheeks she want to pinch... thanks to Usha's top and Iris's jeans where I could wear... to the party...

:)

Anyways, thank God...

I feel better after crying... :)

It never fails to amaze me how peoples point of view of you can touch you so much...

I shall not elaborate...

hui-yi.blogspot.com

talks about our times before, and now, and even after...

Makes me think... Oh yah... how much we've grown...

From princesses... to grown ups...

From pearl in the hand... to... someone who can fend for herself, fighting in society...

Such is the truth of reality...

Anyways... thanks girl... :) really loved that post...

Was looking at Clement and Lisa's wedding photos...

Sweet... Looks like a really well planned wedding, and well organised and well rehearsed one...

It was held at Swan Valley, on a hot summer's day... Vineyard wedding... really sweet...

Looking at photos now, Lisa's dad's walking her down to the area where they hold the wedding... I guess U can call it the stage...

A thought came to my mind...

Is my dad ever gonna walk me to my wedding???

Oh well... the first thought is "no"

But I guess... by faith we conquer and that was how Jesus conquered the dead... So one day my dad will walke me down the ailse(gosh I forgot how to spell)

Lisa's a really beautiful bride... Not just in appearance, but even her character and mannerisms... Go for it dear, believe in u, in God and in ur marriage...

I believe a God centered marriage will be so beautiful... Not to say there won't be problems, but U can work things out... because u focus on God... so then you can work things out... and divorce won't ever be thought of as a back door...

the legendary xuande-cum-mike-cum-darius

The legendary xuande-cum-mike-cum-darius

Woww... what an exclusive nickname, as thought of by Huiyi for Xuande...

As opposed to Xuande's self proclaimed title "the everlasting charming dashing yandao in SG"

Feels like my good friend here has become good friends with Steven Lim... From Singapore I presume??? Haha...

Gosh...

Darius...
Mike...
Xuande...

U'll still always be Xuande... No matter what... We will never be able to call you Darius...

When Huiyi and I heard his new name... we... burst out... laughing...

To our dismay... because it just sounded too gay-ish for our liking... Besides... "Xuande, your network of friends are all cheena... why would you need a name like Darius????"

Mind you, it's pronounced as DaY-riUS... :P Not DaR-Rius as would be pronounced by aunties and uncles...

Well Darius... is just... Xuande to us...

No matter how much he's changed, from a 110kg little boy... to the now 60kg dreamy hunk... He's still Xuande... From 前面两只马,后面一只猪... to... 前面两只马,后面一只猪肉, Now U know why we still love Xuande...

Cuz...

We love bak kua...

Sorry... I'm just laughing at myself...

Xuande... No matter what, we still love you...

Xuande, or mike or Darius...
