GREAT SATURDAY!

I JUST WANNA SAY THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH PS. JOHN BEVERE! :) :D xD

His msg during today's svc was breath-taking, mind-blowing, life-changing! Well, at least to me, it was. I got my spirit stirred, that I could barely hold my tears. Almost every sentences he said was like a big bang boom in my heart. I managed to get a number of revelations.

It's been quite boring for me to listen to many of the 'impacting the marketplace' or 'cultural mandate' messages coz I don't feel that it's really relevant in my life. Well, it's not that it's not relevant at all, it's just...maybe not yet. And honestly, I've been quite drained and was sorta losing my grip. I let myself just to go with the flow, forgetting about the whole God-given purpose in life and all that kindda stuff.

So, after today... I rly wanna try to become fruitful again for God. I wanna return to His way, rather than my own way. I wanna serve Him once more in any way that I'm able to. I wanna know what His purpose is for creating me to be in this world, for I know that there's more to life than meets the eye. I wanna know what He needs me to accomplish for His kingdom's purpose. I want Jesus to pronounce me as a 'good and faithful servant' during the judgment day. For He'll come back as a judge to judge the living and the dead not by what goals we had accomplished for Him on our own way but by whether or not we had fulfilled our God-given task. A task that God had written on His book even before I was born. I wanna know what that task is and I wanna obey. Lest He moves on to the next person if I ignore His command.

I know that I won't be able to change a 180 degree to a totally new person instantly. But I know as long as there's a will, there's a way. I will try changing my commitment towards God to a higher lever little by little, slowly but surely. God doesn't despise a small beginning, so must I. I really wanna be re-reborn. Hehehe.

-Open my eyes, I wanna see Your glory...Your glory, Lord-

TWILIGHT

Finally I watched Twilight together with Liang. Spared some time to spend with him since it's been a long time that we haven't meet up. I had fun. It was too short actually but then again... It was alright. At least we managed to catch up on some stuff. Hehehe. Decided to catch that movie coz I was sorta curious as there were quite alot of gd comments about the film.

So here is my verdict... It's a boring show. They say the main actor, the vampire, is handsome. I say... he's not. They say the movie is so romantic... I say it's not either. The action part is so little. The romance is also very little. In fact, it took too long for the main actress to find out about the guy's vampire being. It was so boring and it made me realize even more about how freezing the theatre was. But perhaps the 2nd twilight would be better coz since the girl already know about the vampires and that the enemy is known also, maybe the storyline will be more straight to the point. But then again.... I'm not so sure about it. Hehehe.

Anyways, headed to Spize for dinner with my Indo friends after the movie. So Liang and I separated ways very fast. Hoping for some more meet ups with him the next time round. I'm confirmed going back to Indo from the 18th of Jan till 13th of Feb. The reason why I'd be away for almost a mth is that.... My LPR is still not ready yet and so I'm wasting money if I stay in S'pore without working. And I don't feel comfortable enjoying myself here doing nothing either. I'm bored to death!!! Hahaha. So I think by me going back to Indo can bring about something else better. Maybe creating a better family bond? Hehehe. Had some family problem back in Indo straight after new year's day celebration (without me there, of course =p). So I hope I can lighten everyone's spirit when I'm back there.

I suddenly had a thought about what I think beauty is when I was out on the road to meet Liang. I think that it's really true when people say that beauty lies skin deep. To me... Real beauty should make a girl look pretty:
-Even when she's bald.
-Even if her hair is very straight (as if it got rebonded) or afro.
-When she has absolutely no make up on.
-When she's sleeping and pretty when she just got up from bed.
-No matter if she's fat or thin.
-Even if she has bad skin complexion.
-Even when she wears anything under the weather and doesn't take the extra effort to dress up real fancy.
-When her skin is still tight or when she's already all wrinkled up.

Most importantly, real beauty comes with great character. It has to be from the inside. Only from inside will there be an outward result.

STEAMBOAT

Had so much fun groceries shopping together with Joyce to feed a total of 8 people during steamboat for dinner over at my place. Hehehe.

Her first time opening a canned food. Hahaha.

Probably her 1st time cutting so much sausages at 1 shot.

My 1st time handling raw prawns.

Members came too early, even before the whole preparations were done.

So much food and most were prepared by Joyce. Well done! :)

Moments before steamboat was ready, while waiting for Enyao to come.

Enyao finally arrived.

Last preparation was to peel the quail eggs.

Finally everything and everyone was ready. All seated nicely in front of the pot.

Those guys standing were real heavy eaters! Two thumbs up.

He can win a prawn-eating competition. And maybe all kinds of other eating competition coz he eats really ALOT despite his skinny body!

He comes in 2nd position.

Cheers to the new year 2009! Oops Teckloon was hidden behind Chrischelle.

The leftover was still alot. It can feed me for the rest of 1 week I guess.

Our 'oh-so-bloated' cg leader.

Played another round of UNO after clearing up, before they all headed home.

I was dead tired after the whole thing coz I had to mop the floor and clear other stuff when everyone had finally went home. But overall, it was a good time of fellowship we had! :D

1ST DAY OF YEAR 2009

The beginning of a new year means a new chapter of life. Put aside all the bad memories and look up to embrace the bright future ahead of us. I'm getting used to living all by myself now. I was lonely at 1st, but it feels ok now when I know how to take care of myself. I can't always be self-pitying myself, right? Right. :) So, to begin the new year, I made my own lunch. A plate of linguine carbonara! Hehehe. Wanted to have it for last night's dinner but the pan-fried chicken was already too much and so I had to cancel the linguine (Supposed to serve it together with the chicken without the bacon. But since the chicken breast meat was so much, I changed the pasta with a few strips of bacon instead).

As a 1st timer chef for myself had been a wonderful experience. I don't know why some people just don't have the interest to try cooking. It actually gives some sort of achievement to the cook when the food turned out to be delicious. As for myself, my satisfactios is that I got to think about what was lacking in my preparations and ways to make the food better in the future. I need to learn from mistakes. Without trying out, I won't know what is there for me to improve on coz I've never even do anything. So this experience provided me with good lessons.

My goal is to make whoever consumes my cooking happy. Oops I sounded like I'm ready to be a housewife -.- NO!!!! I don't wanna be a normal housewife in the future. I wanna be a successful wife to my husband. There are many things I wanna do in order to make my husband proud of me next time. I want him to be proud having me as his wife xD By that, I'm also making my parents proud. Hehehe. Ohhh what am I saying. Hahahahha!

Anyways... Here's my art piece...

From the top

From the side

Can vaguely see the smoke rising up

Oh it's pouring very heavily now here in S'pore. For Chinese they believe that it's a sign of good luck when it's pouring on happy ocassion. So, I hope that this rain signifies a really good beginning, washing away all the evil in the world. Hehehe. I know it's impossible but I still wanna wish it anyway. Hahaha.

So, Happy new year 2009 again folks!!! Yipeee... May all be happy, healthy, and wealthy :p Don't forget to share the LOVE to the world this year~

NEW YEAR'S EVE + NEW YEAR

I had the quietest new year's eve and new year ever in my whole 23 years of life!!! Home alone. All i did was to watch the TV while waiting for the countdown to mark the new year when the clock striked 12 o'clock. So bored!!! Some friends did try to ask me out but I already made plans for myself. I wanted to treat myself with some home made dinner. Some dish that's somewhat special and that I won't normally cook. So I turned down their invitations. Sorry guys, didn't mean to.

Anyways... So, to cook myself a good meal, I went ahead buying the groceries by myself at Parkway Parade. Hadn't been feeling that way for the longest time! It was so fun buying groceries. Hehehe. But too bad there was no company so I was rushing here and there to find the ingredients I needed.

I took a basket with me instead of a trolley coz I thought the ingredients were quite little. But I was wrong!!! It turned out to be so heavy that I had to carry the handles with both hands. I'm sure I looked like an idiot. Hahaha. But it's alright. Nobody knows me there. I don't care and I can't care :D

Hurried home after that coz the sky turned cloudy. Rested a while and started my preparation at about 7:30-8pm. So.. This is what I had for my new year's eve dinner.

1. Chicken mushroom soup

2. Fries, bacon, chicken breasts

Accompanied by...

Sparkling white grape juice

Happy new year 2009 everyone! I wish for everything good in the world! I've got several new year resolutions this time and I sure hope that I'll be achieving all of them. Cheers!~
