Reflections

Sudden reflection on my life as it is right now..

Yeah I should be chioning Japanese project given that both submission AND presentation's next Thurs oh my. But yeah lah can squeeze out some time lah. Just had an urge to blog.

My relationship with You has been good so far I guess. You've done everything already, and I thank You so much for it. For just being God, for just being in my life and showering Your love on me anytime and anywhere. Lord thank You so much. Now, it's my turn. It takes two hands to clap, I must be willing to love too. Love is not an emotion, it's a choice/decision. You've taught me so many things through everyday life, friends, Your Word, and Boy Meets Girl. Boy Meets Girl is prolly one of the best books I ever read. I can finally understand why relationships are to be taken seriously, and what we should and shouldn't do in relationships/courtships. Why everything is to be saved for the day of marriage. Everything we do should honour You, and if we really love the other person, we must honour him/her and make sure they do not get hurt because of our reckless actions. It's good preparation for the future :) I just haven't met him yet I think. But ahh studies first at this stage. Idw to think of anything that will distract me from studies, scoring a good gpa, getting into SMU and do God, parents, relatives and friends proud. Nothing is impossible. Help me have the discipline to do my work conscientiously and never give up or go and sleep when the going gets tough. Strengthen my relationship with You and faith in You as well Lord. Let me never have those wild thoughts at night ever again. Control my mind Lord. Strengthen it and push away all those wild thoughts that might come. I can do it with You. I will receive deliverance from You, with You by my side. So I lay everything to You. My life, my future, my present, my past, my opportunities, my regrets, my disappointments, my sadness, my happiness, my joy, my dreams, my hopes, my relationships, my whole life. Amen. Thank You so much Lord.. I won't know what to do without You.. Thank You for always being there for me, loving me always, helping me always, for encouraging me always. I wanna repay You but Idk how to, and it seems like the best way to do so is just to worship You alone, love You and honour You in everything I do. I love You Lord, and I give You my whole life, and we'll always be together, in eternity :)

My relationship with the people around me has been both good and not so good. Firstly I wanna thank God for giving and BLESSING me with my family, friends and everyone who's always been there :) Everyone is a blessing from God, and people are in your life for a reason.

I'm so thankful for my family and relatives. Mum & Dad aren't strict on me, but of cos the timing I come home matters lah hahah. But they aren't strict on me on stuff like academics etc, which I really am thankful for cos I don't like to be so stressed, and whenever I break down cos of studies (which I did a lot of in sem 1.2 -_-), they are the ones comforting me in the middle of the night, like 1am (like that time biz stats I thought my calculator spoilt but actually it was cos I keyed in the formula wrongly hahah walao). I am the one giving myself a lot of stress alr, to the point I can break down and freak out like nobody's business (which I happen to do a lot of), and imagine if they actually gave me stress too. I don't think I can handle it? Hahah. I wanna thank them for bringing me into this world, with their love and guidance. Step by step they watched me grow into who I am today, and they are the ones who supported me all my life, and slogged so hard outside. That's why I work whenever we have holidays (cos no time on weekends, and projects alr so burden lol) so I can earn my own expenses, and buy my own stuff using my own money. I try to push for sales at work cos I wanna earn more to support myself more. Idw to burden them esp even in their old age now.. I feel sometimes I have been ungrateful towards them, but everytime I see Mum coming back from work with dinner and putting up her feet on the sofa, and then dozing off infront of the TV, and when Dad comes home from work so late at night looking all tired and worn out but still with a smile on his face, I know that I should thank and love them with everything and with all I am, cos they are the blessings that God has placed in my life. And of cos there's the Bro, and for some reason Idk why I always feel more secure just knowing he's at home. That's why when he went NS last time I felt so scared and lost, cos I don't have this safe feeling at home. But he's gonnna ORD soon and weekends he's also at home, so I feel more safe hahahah. And I wanna thank him for being the best Bro in the world, for always encouraging me and telling me what to do when I'm lost, for guiding me on the right path, and ensuring that I grow in the Lord always. I may act like Idc about everything and anything esp towards him lol and sometimes the way I talk to him might be a bit rude (sorry ><), but I really love him so much, and I feel that having such a great brother is really, indeed a blessing from God. He is one of my bestest friends and definitely the closest family member to me, apart from Mum and Dad.

And not every family is so good to have awesome relatives, which I really should be grateful for. For Dad's side, I really thank God with all my heart that they are my family, cos all of them are my second Dads and Mums, and my couz is like a younger brother to me :) We always thoroughly enjoy our times tgt, and know each other inside out, and we all really love our family trips tgt woohoo!! Thanks to all who planned all our trips, really appreciate it. I wanna thank them for being my second Dads and Mums, and for treating us like your own children, I really feel all your love for us :') I wouldn't know what to do in life without you guys either, and there's so much to be grateful for.
I have a big extended family on Mum's side, consisting of 10 grandchildren (including Bro and I) and aunties and uncles!! They too treat us like their own children, and I hope that we will all grow to love each other more and more and come tgt as a family :) I'm sure Ah Ma would've loved it like that :) My cousins are a unique bunch and I love them all!! Hahha esp my dearest Faustina, we've always been tgt since young, and somehow our interests always been the same muahhaha. I look forward to all the gatherings we have as a family and hope we can always maintain that bond ;)

I'm so thankful to have a group of awesome ppl whom I see on a weekly basis and whom I know I can always rely on and trust. I feel strong bonds with these group of people, and they are none other than ZONE B!! Hahaha in good times and in bad times, just their happy presence makes me feel a whole lot better. Every week they never fail to make me laugh and have fun, and also at the same time grow deeper in my relationship with God through their experiences with God in their lives, and also the advises they give me. They're always there to listen, encourage, and pray for each other. I know that I will be growing old together with these group of people, and when we're old and retired we'll be sitting at the porch outside a house playing cards and drinking coffee/tea together. So glad to have these ppl in my life, like my dearest Dayna and Lauren, Sharm, Limay, BK and so many others :) I love and cherish every single one of them, and words just simply cannot express how loved and blessed I am to be in this zone, this church, and the God who brought us tgt :)

My Secondary School mates are another bunch of ppl I'm so thankful to have, and the ones whom I still see around in school and do meetups now and then are namely Eunice, Gillian, Jiemin, JTan and JM :) The F4-4 TP ppl!! They are currently the group of ppl from Sec Sch that I still see and talk to often haha. Love them all so much, and although we have our own unique personalities, everytime we hang out I can still see the old days in us. I can still see the kids who all started from GMPS all the way to GMSS, then to TP. When I look at them, I still see the young versions of us hahahhahahahah!!! Either way, I always look forward to seeing any of them ard in sch and of cos for our meetups :) Somehow we always meetup after exams one Idk why lol.  Haha and of cos there's still the rest like Tika, Dana and Yuqing, and Choir peeps like Loren, Felicia, Jordan, Amy, Wenting and of cos dearest Shufang, whom I still see ard in TP too, and TP Chorale while I was still in there. These people bring back all the memories that we've had in GM tgt :) It makes me tear thinking how we all knew each other for such a long time :) For me, Sec Sch friends = Pri Sch friends too, since most of them came from GMPS to GMSS tgt too. I might've known some for more than 10 years alr!! Like.. Wow man. Idk why but GM students just seem to have this unity. Now that I look back at the memories we've all had, esp upper sec days (upper sec days were the best man), I really wish I could go back to those days and relive the moments, with each and every single one of them, even if we're still talking to each other now or not. Speaking of that I think we should have a class gathering soon! And meetup with the F4-4 TP ppl soon too :)

And Poly friends are an impt part of my life now as well :) Really so thankful for my Year 1 clique, DY, YT, QW and L hehe they're the best! I've had so many fun times with them in Year 1, and I can really feel the love and bonds formed with them :') Even through the many projects we had been through tgt for the whole year, all the crappy and late night moments we've had, those formed awesome memories that I've been through all these with you guys, and enjoyed every single bit of it. Though we're not in the same class anymore, we'll cont meeting for lunch dates every now and then!! Hahah Year 1 was really exciting and crazy with them!! And of cos not forgetting J, who always encourages me and builds me up in the Lord, really my awesome bro and bro-in-Christ :) Year 1 was so memorable with these people in it. And of cos, the peeps from TP Chorale, like Gwen and Anthea, Shufang and Ruhui and the rest! My passion has always been singing, esp in Choir. I can definitely say without a doubt that my time in TP Chorale was more memorable than the ones with GM Choir. Maybe it's cos my memories are all fuzzy but I really felt the bond with everyone from TP Chorale, and I think it's cos of all our passions. Like we really join just cos of our passion and love for Chorale, which is really so amazing, cos we all just click naturally. Miss them all so much, and gonna meet them up soon!! I feel bad for quitting but I really can't commit anymore.. I just dw to be in there but not go for practices etc. Well gonna meetup with them soon anyways hehe! And I can't thank God enough for my Year 2 class.. M01.. You guys really rock. I always have such a good laugh during tutorials and I'm grateful that there are so many believers in class :) And also thank God for an awesome project group, and I had lots of fun with them hahah. I can already feel that Year 2 is gonna be a fun year. It's gonna be tough, but with awesome ppl around, it's gonna be better :)

Now for work. Met 2 very awesome ppl, aka Kah Yen and Cong Le!! Muhahah can't say how much I love them for just being in my life! Just seeing them brightens up my day, and they're so lovable hehe. Like what I've said before, and what a lot of ppl say, it's a surprise work friends can be so close :) I really appreciate for all the little things they've done in my life and for making the effort to travel to meetup and stuff :) It's awesome knowing them and I really am so thankful for God to place them in my life.

Last but not least.. my dearest Sarah Chiang. Known this girl since I was born, until today. She's another friend whom I see myself sitting with on a porch playing cards or sitting in a pagoda and admiring the flowers around us. I've known her all my life, and I really thank God that she's always with me, if not, I would've felt so left out. Even as we went our separate ways from Pri Sch, annual meetups and stuff still keep us going, and randon talks on Twitter, Facebook and Whatsapp too :) Love her so much, and I cannot imagine how my childhood would've been without her. We'll go Strictly Pancakes sometime too!! :D Thank God for blessing me with her.


Basically, I've been reflecting on my life and I spent more than 1 hour typing this out oh my lol I don't have so much time what am I doing. Anyways so yeah I realise how awesomely blessed I am, and I should always count my blessings so I'll never be ungrateful :) Thank You for everything :D

And also, I've learnt to finally let go. Thank You :)

I'd be lying

I'd be lying if I said I haven't forgotten everything. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a limit and that I feel so stretched and messed up inside.

Tell me why this is so hard.. Ignorance is bliss after all. I shouldn't think so much.

Everytime my mind wanders my heart has this unsettled feeling..

For a new door to open, the old one must close.

Forgive and forget, but I definitely won't forget the memories.

Lord I hand it all to You.

What's wrong with me?

To think someone asked me if I had depression before :/

Oh goodness what’s wrong with me?

How can I be like this?

I think I’ll just disappear from ppl’s lives, so their lives will be better. Somehow I just feel I’m making it worse just by being there.

I know that I’m here to impact people, but if I’m gonna impact ppl negatively, then I’d rather not.

What's wrong with me? I've not been very me lately. I've come to the point where I can just sit and stone and just rethink everything and relive the past year in my head, and where if anyone asks me if I'm alright I will just start tearing. I think the past has gotten to me too much, and Idk what to feel nowadays.

Maybe I'm too tired and worn out from this holidays (ironic right Idk why almost everyday I feel tired).

I've came to the point where I'm not caring, not bothering about anything and everything under the sun.

What's wrong with me?

Reveal to me, Lord, and make me a better person. To not always be such a failure etc etc.. Reveal to me what needs to be fixed and mould me to be a greater person, living for You. Help me to get out of all these feelings so I don't hurt others around me.

This is our God

There's just so much on my mind now.. So many things I'm worried about that I feel like I can break down any moment. It's this unsettled thing and feeling in my heart, where I can't help but get so worried. 

But I know our God is so much greater than all the problems, so I'm telling those problems that our God is greater and so much bigger than them!

Also, Matthew 6:34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

I won't worry about tomorrow, I'm trusting in what You say! :)

God knows our situations, God also knows the solutions to them.

Lord, I'm really worried. But I know that You are in control of everything, and that I won't have to worry about tomorrow. Everything's gonna be alright cos You're holding the whole world in Your hands. Help us through everything Lord, and make it okay. I really thank You so much cos even as I declared (or rather, typed) this, I already feel that familiar feeling of a burden being taken from my heart, and I'm still feeling this. Thank You so much Lord. I know that whenever I see only a pair of footprints in the sand, I'll know that's when You are carrying me, wrapping a blanket around me, comforting me and telling me that everything's gonna be alright. Thank You so much :)

I'm really trusting in what You say. Trusting, having faith, loving, going out all the way to declare that I am free and there's a Saviour who loves the world so much. Yes, He loves you and I, and everyone else around. No matter what you've done in your life, He loves you just for who you are, and that's really the most amazing thing ever. No words can describe this feeling that He gives. It's having His protection, security, safety, peace, love, kindness, gentleness, patience, wisdom, strength, courage, and just having Him. You can run to Him anytime, cos He always has open arms for you to run into. He'll make you feel so much better than a cup of hot chocolate can.

This is our God.

Awesome, amazing, faithful, loving, strong, healer, giver, comforting, almighty, alpha and omega, redeemer.

This really is our God.

Our God is Greater

Let go and let God.

The seed I received I will sow.

No weapon formed against me shall remain.

I'm telling and declaring right now, that my God is so much greater and bigger than all my problems. My God is so much more awesomer than the stupid problems and irritating problems. My God is the one true God, who will lift me up upon His shoulders, love me for who I am, and carry me through life. This is our God that I love, that I worship. This is my God, who has such great love that He sent His one and only son to die on the cross for the whole world. Because of Jesus, we are free, no longer bound to sin.

So I declare, for the rest of my life, forevermore, for eternity, that my problems CANNOT and NEVER WILL triumph over me for my GOD is GREATER, STRONGER and HIGHER than any other.

HE was, and is, and is to come. HE is, our SAVIOUR.

The one that got away

What if the one that got away came back?

I need You

Idk abt anything anymore.

I need Your guidance Lord. Help me to rely on You more and more each day, and not lesser and lesser each day. Help me Lord, I need more of You. Just You and You alone will make me whole. It has, have and will make me whole. I won't feel like I'm going around aimlessly without You Lord. More of You is all I need. I just need You, no one else, to wrap a blanket around me, comfort me and tell me You're gonna be with me through it all. Thank You so much for all the mercy, grace and wonder You've given us Lord. Give us Your peace, love and strength Lord. Holy, holy holy, is the Lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come. Awesome Lord, sovereign Lord, You reign and You reign forevermore. Help us Lord. Thank You so much. Forgive us our sins Lord, and help us not to repeat them. Thank You so much for Your unfailing love and just being God. Really thank You so so much for placing the peace in my heart now. Oh, You never fail to make me smile :) Thank You so much Lord, for making everything alright :)

I look to You, no one else. My rock, my salvation, my author, my deliverer, my shelter, my strong tower, my very present help in times of need. Not only in times of need but in times of joy, I'm never gonna stop praising You and just simply praising and worshipping You for who You are, cos You alone are God eternal, throughout earth and Heaven above. Thank You so much for everything Lord, help me to rely more and more on You and spend time with You Lord. I wanna know You more, so much more and know Your heart Lord. Thank You, for everything. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen. :)


This verse spoke to me greatly :
When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we won't be condemned with the world - 1 Corinthians 11:32

Year 1

Year 1 can be summarised as just one word : fulfilling

Year 1 was fulfilling, fun, thrilling, crazy and enjoyable. It was an experience and a part of my life I will remember for life I think. This was the year I met so many awesome people, and changed my impression of Poly having lots of superficial people who just make use of you for grades and projects. Wanna thank my Year 1 clique for being so ever patient with me lololol and that's where I got the nickname "toilet queen". Yu Ting, Qian Wei, Duo Yun and Laurencia, you guys rock!! Will never forget our Mensa/Cai Fan/Ji Fan/ Toastbox/Mac/Subway/Bistro days :) And the zombie (nicknamed by DY) Joshua!! Haha thanks for being such a great bro to me, it's great to see both of us growing in the Lord and I am really glad we could be in the same proj grp for sem 1.1 :) If you all see this wanna say that all of you are awesome :)

And not forgetting my TPC babies hahah. My time in TP Chorale was one of the best moments ever.. Think it could prolly be my best moments in TP/Poly life so far. With Darius' awesome conducting and training us in music to sectionals to dancing and just fooling around hahahah. Shoutout to Gwendoline, Sinnie, Sharleen, Anthea, Chloe, Priscina, Patricia, Sophia, Eileen, Qing Yee, Angela, Zachary, Paula, Rachel, Yvonne, Shufang, Ru Hui, Dian, Khoo Hoe, Leona and many many more, whether you guys are juniors or seniors!! Really wanna thank you guys for being such great pals to be with and I still feel the bond w you all and w Choir even tho I've quit alr. Really thank God for the great times in Choir, tho they were mad, tiring and just plain crazy sometimes hahahah!!

Year 1 was great, despite the bad grades and stuff. That was where I learnt and really matured a lot from Sec Sch. Thank God for an awesome Year 1 and hopefully I don't have to take any supp papers!!

I'm sorry

After today.. I really felt I was being so bad and harsh. I'm so sorry for everything.. For the unforgiveness, the grudge and I feel this guilt etched so deep in my heart that if I don't apologise or start treating you better, I will die of guilt. I'm so sorry, why did I do that today? If you were hurt by my actions I'm really sorry. It's just.. I can't let go of the past. If you put yourself in my shoes you'd be angry too... right? I realised it's because of that unwillingness to let it go that unforgiveness came into my life and made me unable to forgive you. But hey I'm not perfect either, I must accept the fact that everyone makes mistakes. So if I've hurt you with my actions today, I'm terribly sorry Y. And whether you see this or not, I wanna let you know that deep down you've still got a friend in me, like what I wrote in the Christmas card (that is, if you still remember). I focused on all the bad stuff that happened and didn't think about the good stuff. Times we've spent tgt definitely was great and fun, and Idk abt you, but like what I said earlier, you've always got a friend in me. I'm just pissed and my action today was "in the moment" kinda thing. I'm so sorry, and pls don't get offended. I really do hope you'll understand. It's just that these few months, the whole thing's been weighing down on my pretty much and every night I feel this burden in my heart and I just feel like crying everytime I think about it you know? But what's done is done. It's all in the past. I must let go of it and bear no grudges. I'm sorry for everything I've done. You're one of the nicest people I know, and I hope you don't make the same mistake again. Choose wisely and carefully, and always think again before doing smth. I will treat you nicer from now on, and once again, I'm terribly sorry if my pissy actions made you feel bad. Don't blame yourself for whatever happened yeah? And I honestly do hope you can find someone you'll appreciate you for you.

Once again, I'm sorry.

Cluttered

Recently my mind has been cluttered with so many things. Submissions and presentations are a pain, not to mention French speaking test is on Friday and I still can blog even though I have yet to do my Marketing proj lol.

But either way, just thought I should write a letter to my Heavenly Father here.

Writing and just simply talking to You has always been such a joy, and I enjoy every single minute of it because I know I am pouring my heart out to a one true Lord who truly understands and loves me.

I'm hurt and Idk what else to do but just follow You. I know everything happens for a reason and I don't have to worry cos You are in control of everything. Amen to that, really. But Idk why I just feel so hurt now. I feel like I was being used and played around with, and I felt my feelings were being treated loosely like it was nothing. Somehow, somewhere in my heart I feel it's not this way, but actions speaks louder than words and now looking at the situation, I really dk what to feel and what to do. But all I know is that I'm gonna heed advises, and really just follow You. I'm gonna give up alr, I don't think I wanna hold on any longer. I know that You have Your ways of making things turn out the way they are supposed to be, and I really can't tell what will happen, but You know. So for now I'm just gonna give up for real, hold on to it no longer, and let You lead me. Whether or not it happens, years down the road or not, I'm handing it all to You. I'm not gonna bother about it anymore. Even though I always tend to overthink and actually imagine a future and not want to let go, I pray that You pls help me turn away from this. I can't do it without You, it's too painful. Lord let not mine but Your will be done. I will go where You lead me, my Shepard. Take me to my destiny.

No regrets, just lessons learnt.

Forgive me of all my sins Lord. Make me a whole new better person and love people more. Love God, Grow People shall be my life.

Over the past few days, esp Fri and Sat, I really learnt a lot of things. Really thank God for such great leaders He placed in my life. Lord, now I truly understand why I have to go through these and why I chose to. Even though I really miss singing in Choir, and I really miss my Choirmates there, even my conductor lol. I miss going to the Alumni Lounge every Mondays and Tuesdays from 6.30-9.30pm, and I miss having dinner with awesome Choirmates too. I miss the feeling of going there to sing my heart out, and even though it's tough and tiring, somehow I feel rejuvenated for the next day and I feel like there's a hope I can cling on to and run to whenever I'm down, tired or just simply feel like singing. It has been such an integral part of my life (or rather, my whole life). Singing has always been such a joy to me. But now I realised sacrifices has to be made. Discipline and self-control comes in, and all these will work out for Yours and my good. Let Your will be done, Lord. Not mine but Yours be done. I believe Your plan is always the best for me. I must do my parents proud, I can't afford to disappoint any longer. Most importantly, I must do You proud. I want to be a living testimony for You. I'll always miss singing with them, and I feel like a part of my life is gone, but I guess this is part and parcel of life.

I immediately feel a lot better after submitting and opening my heart to You. Thank You, and I love You :')

Psalm 23:2 (NIV)
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

O LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress. - Isaiah 33:2

A million words

My mind is so cluttered with so many things.. I have a million words to say but I can't. Idk what to feel now, and I'm just sick and tired of everything. I'm really giving up this time. I can't believe you spoke with such confidence that day like as if we'd always stick with each other. I knew I shouldn't have placed to much hopes and expectations, I should've listened to others. Thank God for my awesome friends though, they really didn't want me to get hurt too much. Thanks guys :)

I'm really giving up this time, I won't hold on anymore. This will pass very quickly. I hope it won't take long. My mind keeps saying "run as fast as you can". So let me thank you for your time and try not to waste anymore of mine, get outta here fast.

God really taught me a lot, and I will always remember this experience.

I have to get out of my comfort zone, I can't afford to hold on any longer and stay where I am comfortable at. I'm gonna hold on no longer.

Lord, there's freedom from my past, and there's hope in my future. And You are my today, and You are my forever.

2012

3rd post

Okay I know no one reads my blog but I'm just gonna do this okay. If you feel like there'll be a dedication to you in this post, go ahead and read :) Haha okay Idk I'm super lame and retarded.

Reflecting on the year 2012, it's been an awesome one.

Kicked off the year with working from Dec 2011 all the way until end of Feb 2012 and then began my real holidays where I just sat at home playing Sims 2 LOL, going out, doing nothing (zhuo bo) and lazing around all day long. Sleeping at 3am and waking up at 11am. Reading my favourite Sophie Kinsella books, borrowed from the library. Chilling and chillaxing at anywhere, everywhere, at any time cos I was just that carefree lol. Did meet-ups and going out just to have fun ahhahaha.

On 11 Jan (if I'm not wrong lol saw my last time blog post) received Os results. I tell you, I will never forget that day man. It was just so awesome and I really experienced a miracle from God first-hand! It's like God worked a miracle in me. Okay lah so I was expecting 18, maybe 16 at the most. Then after all the talks and blah and about how our school fared compared to national standards (in which I was actually quite pumped up cos for our cohort, CORE HISTORY HAD 100% PASS AND 75% DISTINCTION OMG AND I'M ONE OF THOSE DISTINCTIONS REALLY THANK GOD HAHHAHA. And I saw Mdm Chua looking very happy after they announced that. The group of us just cheered man whoo!! If I'm not wrong there were 14 of us? Hahha great job guys!! We really set the standards!! Even though the previous batch had 100% pass AND distinction BUT they only had 2 ppl HAH. Thank God for the core history batch, we really outdid ourselves once again hehehe ^^), one by one, I saw my classmates and other class ppl getting their results. As I observed the surroundings, saw many different emotions. Some ppl were laughing and jumping around, super elated. Some were crying and I just felt so sad and scared at the same time. I was thinking what if I didn't do well, what would happen if I failed and screwed it up terribly? LOL then the funniest thing happened. I saw Eunice go up and take her results, then the moment she turned back and flipped it open, she started screaming like mad for like 5 mins LOL. Then all the Drama ppl surrounded her and all congratulated her hahahah. LOL that was one super epic reaction I will never forget, and it's all part of this marvellous and awesome day!! :D Then a while after that, it was my turn to get it. Mr Kee was like, well done Cynthia, and he smiled a genuine smile. Then I like, wah serious ah, but still very scared. Then I turned behind and flipped it open. I couldn't believe my eyes oh my goodness. I remember I just ran to Dana and Yuqing and started screaming and crying at the same time. I was all like "I only got one C!! I ONLY GOT ONE C AND IT WAS FOR CHINESE OMG I ONLY GOT ONE C". Then they and Dayna who came running to hug me (thanks love) thought I did badly cos they couldn't hear what I was saying I think lol. After that I showed them my results, and they were like, chey you cry for what?! HAHAHAH. Idk I was just so happy and I really felt without God, I could never have done this, and I really just wanna give Him all the honour and glory :') After that saw my Choir juniors and they were all congratulating me and I just felt so awesome ahahha. It was with them that I opened my results for my L1R4 score and cried and screamed again LOL. Then I realised Eunice disappeared already LOL so I called her and we tallked abt our results, and my phone died halfway so had to go up to the hall again (cos I went downstairs alr) to borrow Dayna's phone to call her hahha. After that met Bro, Sharm and Elson with Dayna at hawker and went back to slack slack at my place lol. I'll never forget that day man, was really awesome :) Thank God for everything, all glory, praise, thanks and honour to Him!! :D

Applied for TP's BSG as first choice and got in, thank God :) It was at that point I regretted not going to SP, NP, or even SRJC. But after school started and all, I really thank God I went TP's BSG instead. Now that I know for sem 2-3 I'll be in Marketing, I'll never doubt God's decisions for my life again :) Thank Him for putting me into Marketing!!

Also, during the period where I was working regularly lol, I met 2 very awesome people and I call them my "baby"s hehehe. Cong Le and Kah Yen, the 2 Ralph Lauren girls!! :D



Me, CL and KY. Wah looks at CL's nails hahahahah. Love them to bits, and I really thank God I met them. It's amazing how we could stay such great friends up till now :) And now that KY accepted Christ too (Praise God!! :D), will be spending more time with her in church and cell heheh (Y) Though CL and I live very far away from each other, we still make time to meet up and I'm really glad for her to be in my life :)

Went to watch the very first musical I saw live in March.. WICKED!! And indeed, it was Wicked. It was a night I'll never forget. It was just simply amazing :) Caught it at MBS with Mum and Aunty Lynette :) Thanks Dad for sponsoring our tickets and for ferrying us there and back hahaha!! :)



Went to Sentosa on March with Eunice as well!! Lol it was a hot day but had fun man!!



March also meant smth to me and I'm sure, a lot of churchmates as well. It was the month we moved back to GEC, in our new building. We waved bye to PLMGSS and thanked them for letting us use their premises, and had our homecoming in GEC once again :)) Thank God for all His blessings unto the church :D



The then Zone 1 :) All our spastic faces hahahah!! Hahaha omg Li Wen, Xiuling and Anne's face hahahahah.

Of cos, in March also met up with the Sec sch girls for a picnic at Marina Barrage and at the same time celebrated dearest Gillian's belated bday heehe :) Great fun and laughter with these girls man!! Miss them :/



This lasted all the way until Poly started in late April. Before week 1, we had week 0 orientation. Came to orientation with Jiemin and we split into our different classes. And it was that day that my friendship with 5 other very awesome ppl began :)

Duo Yun, Laurencia, Yu Ting, Qian Wei, Joshua thanks for making my Year 1 in Poly a very enjoyable and awesome one, and I wish all of you the very best in your respective specialisations (QW you and I tgt ;)) and I hope we'll still be able to meet up and stay great friends :)) Thanks for listening to my problems and giving me advises that I really appreciate. Without some of your advises, I wouldn't have known what to do and I thank God for blessing me with you guys :)

Had fun with you guys as classmates and projectmates, and even though we're gonna be splitting classes next sem, just know that I'm always just a call/sms/whatsapp away, we'll remain friends!! :D

Also, love B1B20. Even though I'm not close to all of them, they made me change my mindset of Poly ppl positively, and I can't help but really like all of them as my classmates, and will be missing them when we go into our specialisations next year. They are a bunch of fun and loving people, and I thank God for them!!



Thank God for our careperson (cp), Mr Lum Fook Seng, and our tutors for their careful guidance and explanation of modules as well. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to cope with Poly life.

And in May, FINALLY met up with my lovely bestie for 17 years and counting, SARAH CHIANG LI WEN!! :D

Thanks for always being there and always ready to give a listening ear. Thanks for advising me when problems come my way, and I really appreciate it all :) Wouldn't know what I'd do without you man. I'm always here too, and never worry about tmr, trust in what God says yeah :) And lol bumping into you in school is always nice, it's nice to see church people in school hahahaha. Let's work to make an impact in our cell and in Zone B, I'm sure God has smth big in store for us all!! :D

Yining and Xiuling have seen me grow and advised and grew and encouraged me to who I am today, I'll never forget what they did in my life :) And even though I only knew Anne in Dec 2011 through the Christmas carolling with Go Community and she stepped down from tertiary to help with the then Zone 1, she has always been there and have been advising and encouraging me and I feel I've really matured this year :)

Love the 3 of them, and will miss them!! Thank God for them, they've been a blessing to all of us :)

I love the 2 of you sooo much. The definition of best friend lies in the 2 of them. Words cannot express how I feel about the 2 of you (wah like confession HAHA) and I really thank God for placing you 2 in my life :') Without you 2, I wouldn't know what to do in life whenever I face problems, and I know we're still gonna be there for each other even as we grow up and grow old :D

You're amazing and awesome Lord, thank You for everything :) I'm gonna trust everything to You Lord :D Once again, thank You for Your love :')

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I would like to dedicate this section of the post to someone very special to me. He is the nicest, kindest, and really awesome person that God had blessed me with this year. At around mid-year to August I got to know him? I can't really remember exactly when lol but it was around that time. He has been such a great blessing in my life and there are many things I would like to say to him but don't know how. So I'm gonna post it here. Y, if you ever see this, I'm sorry that I can't say it to you in person, cos after all, it's all over and I'm sure we don't wanna make it awkward by me bringing up this topic.. And after all, you're still a good friend to me, and so I wanna thank you for everything too by posting here :)

Dearest Y,

If you see this, just wanna let you know that the times we spent together was one of the greatest times this year. Thank you for always being there for me and listening to my troubles, thanks for encouraging me when I'm down, thanks for advising me and praying for me even though you've got a fair share of troubles yourself too. I really appreciate everything you've done for me :) And yes I got your little hints here and there when we met up and went out too lol. I too felt it was going too fast, and you don't have to apologise for it cos even though it didn't work out, I enjoyed every single bit of the times spent with you and I'm glad we stayed friends in the end :)

I too did not expect things to turn out this way, cos I thought that a person like me would never have had a chance with someone to begin with. But God had a plan and purpose, and I think He was increasing my self-esteem lol. And it just happened, and it seemed like it was such a short period that everything happened haha. Anyways, you should know too that we're not ready yet, and that God makes everything beautiful in His time. Continue to trust in God and put your plans in His hands, allowing Him to guide your path. With God, nothing can go wrong, and I totally agree with you that God's plan is the best :) I've always been amazed how much faith you have in God, and rmb that day, we both felt that God was telling us to put Him first too, and when we really put Him first, then we can build a relationship on the rock that is Jesus Christ. God is not done with us, He's still moulding us. Continue to trust God to take you to greater heights, and grow deeper in love with Him everyday :)

Don't feel bad, this isn't anyone's fault to begin with :) Just know that I'm glad that you had enjoyed yourself, and I did too. And remember that we both learnt smth from this. Right now all we need to do is just trust God to take us to where we need to be. And remember that illustration you showed me that day? Idk but we just really need to have faith and trust God. 5 years later, we'll see, and a lot can happen in these 5 years. Don't get discouraged if things don't turn out the way you want them to, cos God is in control of everything. He wants the best for you :) Wait until the time is right, be your best, and the right person will come along.

Anyways, to sum up everything, it was enchanting to meet you, and to still have you as a friend is amazing, cos you're one of the nicest, kindest and awesomest person I have ever met and I thank God for putting you in my life. I really appreciate having you in my life, and even though it won't be the same as last time, just know that you've always got a friend in me. Always just a call/whatsapp/text away man.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Time spent with you was one of the greatest and best times I've ever had this year.

I'm sorry for being so rude to you and sometimes taking things out on you.. I don't mean it and really truly regret my actions. I know sometimes I've been hurtful, and I'm sorry I take out my emotional unstability times on you :( Thanks for being so kind and understanding and forgiving me whenever I do these kind of things.. Even though I don't show it and always ask you to shut up and diam lol, I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll be here for you as a friend. We'll still continue to stay as friends, and I wanna wish you all the best in your future, and never give up hope alright? Jiayou, I have faith and I believe that you can do it :)

Let it go and hold on to it no more. Seek God first, and everything else will come to place :) Never regret a God-driven decision, and just know that God wants the best for us :)

God hears and He sees, and you are not alone in your struggles. Remain firm and stable for God has your deliverance planned. -Joyce Meyer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today marks 5 more days to 2013, and I all I can say is thank God for this amazing and wonderful year.  He has really blessed me and many others greatly this year :) Thank You for all the moments, good or bad, joyful or mournful, I thank You for all of them. Thank You for all the lessons You taught me this year, and I pray for a new me next year. I pray for all enviousness, jealousy and obsession to be gone even as I enter into this new year. I pray for a better me to bless and make an impact in others' lives as an intern, use me so greatly and mightily for Your purposes Lord. Love You so much, and thank You for everything :D

Perth, Western Australia (WA) 17-23 Dec 2012 trip

2nd post. 3rd post I shall continue sometime before the year 2012 ends, cos it'll be a reflection of 2012, and it's too late and I'm too tired to do it now lol.

Perth, WA, 17-23 Dec 2012. This is definitely one of the holidays I will never forget, for life.
Never before have I felt so comfortable in a foreign country that I hadn't been to in almost a decade (the last time I went to Australia was when I was P1/P2 lol, we went Gold Coast).
Learnt a lot of things there, got exposed to a different culture, and have this longing to go back there and just stay there forever, if I had the money of cos lol.
Perth has made an impact in my life, and I really enjoy this holiday. Wish it could be longer, or for a lifetime preferably? HAHAH. Anyways it's kinda good to be back too. Singapore is where I belong after all.

It was in Perth that I got my first tan line and became chao ta lol. My skin isn't silken tofu anymore but dry, takes a while to become back to silken tofu and get used to the humidity in Singapore already hahaha.
It was in Perth that I realised so many things about myself that needed changes. Did some self-reflection with the help of my Uncle who planned this whole trip love you Uncle Eric thanks so much for planning this awesome trip!! When I came back Singapore, I decided to start anew, start afresh, with the help of a very good friend/bro of mine who pulled me back to earth and made me realise how pissy, easily frustrated and unpleasant I've become ever since entering into  Leave the past behind. Let it go, hold on to it no more, and move on.

Anyways let's start on the commentary of the trip :)

Day 0 - 16 Dec Sunday (Not included cos my flight is a midnight flight but whatever I'm just gonna post the details of the time in the airport LOL)

Sending my goodbye msgs and calls at home, before leaving, and also in the airport haha.
We had to reach airport T1 by 9.15pm and after that, went to check in our luggages. Mummy and I shared a damn dua luggage, Daddy took a medium sized one, and Bro took a small one. The rest of us had our own luggage :)

Saw this cool kinetic rain thingy at T1.

After checking in, went into the duty free area and stayed 2 hours inside there, makan-ing some snacks (soft-boiled eggs, toasts, bandung lol) and shopped a bit, and took pictures. Went to wait for the boarding of the flight, and finally after 2 hours went into the plane, and it took off at about 11.35-11.45pm?
We took Qantas airline, and I realised they have a lot more air stewards than air stewardesses.

Day 1 - 17 Dec Monday

In the plane, enjoying the adrenaline rush of the plane going into the air. Watched Ted and food came at around 12midnight plus-1am. Took Curry Chicken with potato salad, hard roll bread and mango sago pudding. Drank orange juice. Aunty Lynette gave me her pork in her ee fu noodles and I gave her some of my curry chicken. Shared with Daddy Mummy's mango sago pudding and took some of Aunty Lynette's salad LOL I'm such a pig.
Tried to sleep after watched Ted finished but apparently some ppl in the plane dk what's called sleep. I can see the bright screens lol. But I managed to fall asleep for 1 hour plus maybe? Though I'm kind of convinced I only slept 1 hour lol. And Mum took a pic of me sleeping with my mouth open -_-

Touched down at Perth at 4plus am. Immigration, luggages done, waited at the airport for Stephen, our transportation guy to come at 6.30am. Decided to take some photos while waiting. Saw an awesome lighted Christmas tree and took pics, bought some very expensive water (omg water there is so ex), and went outside to feel the coolness of the morning. Lo and behold, the sun was already risen at that timing lol. Cos it's summer there, so long days and short nights. The sun rises early and sets late. It's cold in the morning and night, but afternoon is hot. Lots of huge annoying flies around that flies to your face lol one almost went into my mouth thank God it only got to my lips. In the city it's alright, not a lot of flies, but in the countryside there's a lot. Under shelter is cooling cos of the wind, but under the sun it's hot in the afternoon. But the first few days we were there, it was cooling the whole day lol thank God we brought our jackets and sweaters. But mid-trip started to get real hot.

Okay so went outside the airport to feel the coolness and took pics. Went back in, waited a while, and Stephen came. He owns a company, Westside Private Charters, and if you ever wanna go Perth, check it out. It's really good and he really caters to all our needs. Thank God for Stephen during our trip, really nice person and very courteous. Thanks Stephen for bringing us around man!! Really appreciate your thoughtfulness :)

We went to Kings Park and saw the awesome view of the swan lake and CBD skyline of Perth there, took pics, and walked around and visited a war monument.

Then we went to the apartment we were gonna stay at for a week, Verandah apartments, 84 Fitzgerald Street.

I was like wow-ing and ooh-ing and ahh-ing when we reached the apartment. It's like a mansionette with 3 bedrooms (upstairs 1 [Uncle Eric, Rech, Bro], downstairs 2 [Aunty Lynette, Grandpa, Uncle Lawrence] [Mummy, Daddy, me]), 2 bathrooms (should give more), 2 sitting areas with tv (one upstairs one downstairs), a balcony with seats and table, as well as bbq equipment, and a very nice kitchen area with a bar concept.

Awesome place, I got quite attached to this place lol felt like it was home cos it was so cosy. Nice apartment.

Okay then washed up and slept from 12pm-3pm lol. And woke up realising my sleeping pic got taken by Bro -_- Cos I was the last to wake up LOL. Ate lunch, fried beehoon with luncheon meat.


Then took a Blue CAT (Central Area Transit, a bus system in certain streets with certain different colours [there's blue, yellow and red if I'm not wrong lol], and it's free!!) to tour around Perth and just sightsee. And the system is really good, they tell you how many mins more to the next CAT coming, and on the bus they have a sign to show you which is your next destination, and there's even a map there of all the different colours of CAT's route. Really good system, and the frequency of the CAT is 5 mins on weekdays, and 15 mins on weekends.

Then took a walk to Chinatown, around 10 mins walk away from the apartment cos it's near. I was staying near Chinatown so that's why I ate more Asian than Western food there LOL. It was nice and cooling, and had a nice walk, took pics, and ate at a food court called Old Shanghai there. The food there is super ex omg one Japanese salmon teriyaki set $14 plus Aussie dollars. At least got 3 salmon fillets, a huge salad which I so badly needed and rice and miso soup. Not bad, quite nice :)

Went back to the apartment and slept lol. Oh yah during this trip we all slept very early, like around 9plus-10pm. The latest I slept was 10plus nearing 11pm. But woke up early too of cos haha.

Day 2 - 18 Dec Tuesday

Stephen picked us up and drove to Caversham Wildlife Park. Fed kangaroos, took pics and felt the furry legs of the wombat, and took more pics as we had 1 hour of guided tour there. Loved the dingo and other native Australian animals :) Had a great time there though the flies were a tad annoying.

The kangaroos damn cute one lol when you bend down and feed them, they will take one pallet of food and then put their paws on your hand to say like they wanna chope these food LOL.

Then, went to a chocolate factory and bought a small pack of dark chocolates for $4.95 Aussie dollars back lol. Dad bought white and milk chocolates. They had free tasting I took a a considerable amount of each 3 flavours LOL.

Bro and I posing with the sample bowl. HUGE BOWLS OF MILK, DARK AND WHITE CHOCOLATE YUM.

Then went to an ice-cream outlet, shared some fruit (cant remember which fruit/fruits lol) yoghurt ice cream with Bro. Mum and I went crazy by the cute display outside the shop and the flowers which bloomed.
The ice cream was awesome :)

After that, drove to Seabird, a town, and stopped for some Fish & Chips yummm :) The Fish & Chips there is really good, the fries are fat and thick and stuffed with potato and really awesome, and the fish is super fresh yummm!!
Took pics there too cos the scenery of the sea was just too awesome.

Then drove to The Pinnacles, one of my most fav places there. The scenery is really super awesome and even though it's a desert, it's near the coast so it was real windy and good at the expense of my hair flipping all about LOL. Thank God for holding the rain cos when we just got there, it was drizzling but when we walked to the desert area, it stopped miraculously. Thank You Lord :)

The Pinnacles was great, and the rocks had so many different shapes and it was just so natural and great and awesome.

Then drove to Chinatown and ate char siew and duck rice (Stephen's recommendation, really awesome!!) to takeaway and drove to Cottlesloe Beach to watch the sunset. It was super cold and the sea breeze was blowing our minds away but thank God we managed to snap good shots of the awesome sunset and find a warm place to eat our food.

Then drove to Kings Park and snapped pics of the night city skyline.
Me and Aunty Lynette here haha. Was super scared of the heights so was grasping onto the handle LOL.

Drove back to the apartment, wash up, slept.

Day 3 - 19 Dec Wednesday

Shopping at somewhere, Idk where is it LOL but I know we took the Blue CAT from near our apartment at Russell Square.

Shopped at Target, a local departmental store and bought 2 boxes of seashell chocolates (yes church ppl, the one you ate today hahahaha!!) ME AND BRO OUTSIDE TARGET WITH BRO'S CHINK EYES HAHAHAHAHAHAH.

And saw this awesome shirt. Suits me ^^ But it's Mens size XL >:(

Ate Hungry Jack's for lunch, awesome man :) Fast food is so much cheaper there lol.

Took a yellow CAT to Harbourtown, a factory outlet, which is also a shopping haven for me. Good clothes at cheap prices yess (Y) Bought lotsa stuff hehehe.

Went back at 4plus and ate homecooked dinner, curry chicken and veggies plus fruits yay.

Washed up, slept.

Day 4 - 20 Dec Thursday

Weather forecast : 35%

Totally chao ta and burnt that day. That was the day I got the super ugly tan line on my feet lol.

We drove to Wave Rock. A 4 hour journey there, and another 4 back. Thanks Stephen, it was tiring man!!
Had breaks in between the journeys.

Reached Wave Rock, was flacking hot, and Dad got us little branches to help fend away the flies (omg the flies were esp a lot here cos we went further inland alr), and Stephen got us nettings to put on our heads lololol it was good and effective in fending away the flies man thanks!

Climbed up the rock too, was awesome!! Kudos to Mum to go all the way up!! :D (Y)

On top alr!! Me with my weapons in fighting the damn flies. Branches and netting.
Okay and I look super retarded with this pic below lol.

Then took a short drive to the Hippo Yawn, a rock which resembles a hippo yawning lol.

Then headed back, stopped for some grocery shopping at a town and also lunch (burgers in the car, the burgers were huge but I finished one all by myself LOL hungry). Thanks Uncle Eric for buying them :)

Stopped at like where it seems to be in the middle of nowhere (farmland maybe?) lol and tried to take pics w the sheep, but they zhao damn fast once they saw us near the fence -_-

Went to Chinatown to eat at Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant, food and chilli were awesome :)

Day 5 - 21 Dec Friday

FREMENTLE DAY!! SHOPPING DAY!! SOUVENIRS DAY!! (yes that's where I bought your koala and kangaroos softtoys and keychains, and macadamia nuts :))

Went to the Frementle War Monument

Drove to E-Shed Markets and shopped there and bought a lot of stuff, as well as ate lunch there. Wah the cai fan person was so @#W$#$!!, she told me no overstacking of food, if not there will be additional charges. But the thing is, as long as you pile everything on the plate, it's fine. Maybe cos I dropped a few pieces of pork :( But I was sharing w my Mum and Dad and trying to save money at the same time lah!! >:( Meh!!

Walked past/over a railway to take a CAT, first time experience, was awesome :)

Then took a CAT (can't remember what colour it was) to Frementle Markets, awesome place. Too bad we only could spend 1 hour there :(

Hhehehe alr wearing one of my new shirts bought from Harbourtown (Y)

Visited souvenir shops otw back (we walked back to E-Shed Markets) and saw this advert

This is a property company IF I'M NOT WRONG.






























Omg hilarious laughed like mad.

Went back to E-Shed Markets and Stephen came with his cute little 2 years old boy, Will!! :)
The little precious was the center of attention the rest of the time he was with us. Soooooo cute :)))

Then we went back to the apartment and put all our stuff down, took some pics with Will and went for dinner at a HK steamboat restaurant in Chinatown. Steamboat buffet was filling but awesome.

Washed up, slept.
