Something's Gotta Give

i woke up at 11.15am this morning! planned to wake up at 9am, but i overslept. i dunno why, i have been insensitive to my alarm for the past 4 days! i woke up, washed up and ate mum's fried bee hoon... yummy!!

i reached causeway and waited and waited but no sign of sarah... i assumed she'd reach at 1pm cos she finishes school at 12.30pm... i got tired of waiting so i went into delifrance first and ordered an earl grey... nice smell! next time try darjeeling... i remember when i worked at coffee bean,there's this caucasian who's really mad abt darjeeling but i dun even know how it tastes..

anyway, sarah came at 1plus and we had a nice chat.. szehui came at 2pm and the 3 of us went to shop for jiaxin's present!

after that i rushed down to dhoby ghaut to meet gwyn... yay, can watch movie! we decided on "Something's Gotta Give". it was only 4plus and our show is at 6.30pm so we went to walk around and went to cafe cartel for dinner. gwyn ordered chicken lagsana, i got myself a philadelphia cheese steak, not bad! but i'd order lagsana next time. we ordered wedges too!!!! my fave!!!

the show's fantastic! i luffed so loud!! it's good... MUST WATCH okie? sooooo sweet. sooooo sweet.

after the show is already like 9pm, and we went to walk around, cos gwyn wanna get a sweater and i wanted to see if there's any nice tops to buy. after that we had to find a place to settle our cellgroup things and we ended up using one hour to do it at cafe cartel, and the whole table was filled with papers!! we sat for another half an hour to fellowship and i really enjoyed it! hope to go out with her again. got home at around 12mn... not gotta go and finish my cellgroup things!! be back soon!

Last Day @ SPH!

finally, it's my last day here. not really sad, but not exactly very happy either. *weird.

i'm gonna take a nice break after this.

jean paid for my lunch today, says today is my last day. guoxing didn't eat with us today! cos his boss, tommy, treated the careers dept people to sushi... *envious... haha.

but it's okie, i'm too lazy to go out anywayz.

i was late this morning! but i took the train to work anywayz and reached at about 9am. i'm wearin my pink jacket... hee, makes me feel happier. do u know the clothes that u wear will affect ur mood? i think most people know, well, juz in case u don't.

i'm going out with gwyn tomoro! haa. miss fellowshipping with her. we're in the same cellgroup, but we seldom get to fellowship alot cos we're both busy people. she's in ntu somemore... busi-er!

i'm going to the HR dept soon to submit my timesheet and to the Security dept to return my pass. gonna miss this place! will miss the scanning of workpass to access to various parts of the building, miss the malay stall uncle who always says "member, what u want?" and his ever-delicious bread, the porridge, the cheap-cheap-cheap $1 popiah (!!!!), the counter uncle at the canteen [very nice and friendly uncle], the cheap-cheap-cheap $1 cafe mocha [ah! not to mention it tastes superb!], the nice washroom... and of cos... the free internet access all day! oooooooo........ and not to forget, the people here! muikiang, dennis [my last day and he's not even here!], daniel, nor, elieen [i din spell wrongly!], christine, jean and the talkative guoxing.

after work, guoxing walked me to the bus stop and waited for the bus with me. when my '88' came, he refused to let me go up! says my last day den talk more [see la, he really talkative]. when '163' came i said bye and left...

Fantastic Choir Practice

last night's choir practice was fun and funny! the new choir members joined us and the entire hall 6 was packed, there were people sitting on the steps! wooo... revival conference! nah... haha just kidding.

we learnt a new praise song from hillsong, and revised 'come holy spirit fall on me now'. now, there're changes in the lyrics. check this out:

Come Holy Spirit fall on me now
I need Your anointing, come in Your pow'r
I love You Holy Spirit, You're captivating my soul
And everyday, I long to love You more

I'm reaching for Your heart
You hold my life in Your hands hand
Drawing me closer to You
I feel Your pow'r power renews renew
Nothing compares to this place
Where I can see You face to face
Anoint me Lord I worship You
In spirit and in truth


'Discipleship'
Brother J was really funny. He 'discipled' us about personal hygiene! You should have been there! *luffs. i was luffing all the way, and Carter told me that he could hear my laughter tho i was sitting way behind and he was sitting right in the front. well, what to do, my voice projection good mah... haha just kidding.

alright, this is what Bro J did... he brought his bag to hall6 and literally showed us what's in his bag... 'teaching' us what are the things essential for personal hygiene and grooming, like De-odorant [more for guys], toothbrush and toothpaste, dental floss[must floss ur teeth after meals! cos food decays and produce bad mouth odor], mints and all that. i learnt alot tho it's so crankily funnie. He was literally talking like a salesman... so cute.

Dreams
and after that, he talked to us about the BV audition, shared with us about not hurting our hearts in the process of striving for our goals. most of us in choir really desires to become BVs. Brother J says that when we're saved, God has put a seed of greatness in us, which will cause us to keep on dreaming big dreams for God, wanting to move on and not being mediocre. it's so true and that's what makes us so different. He says that as we're striving and working towards our dreams, we must know where we stand. Sometimes we may have big dreams, but it may not be the time yet or it's not what's intended for us. So in the process of striving, we must really guard our hearts and our soul and not let them be hurt when we never reach our goals.

after that, Brother J led us into worship and prayers [as usual, Brother J will always remember the spiritual aspect] and all of us were so ministered. the presence of God just came. that's what i really love about choir practices and brother J, it's not just about singing and duty, but it's really a spiritual ministry.

i remember 5 years ago when i was in old church in hollywood, the first choir practice i attended was conducted by Brother J and i still remember he led a worship song that goes "Holy Ghost, breathe upon me, into my soul, fill me with glory..." and i wept buckets! since then i've always admired the kind of spirit Brother J has.

i'm back from the BV audition!

thank God i managed to get through the first round and into the second.

we had to wait til 9plus for our turn... brother J and sister Ally auditioned us and i felt very encouraged by Brother J. he still remember that i went for the children's church BV audition and that time i was sick and did rather badly. he asked me how come the other time i didn't sing like today. and he said that he's very amazed that i did very much better den the previous time. really thank God and i was very happy when i knew that kailun and i got into the second round. kailun and i were frantically trying to find our way up to 4th floor [when the second audition was] cos the doors to the lifts were locked! haha. anyway, we went thru the leaders' lift and went up to the cafe... another long time of waiting again.

the second round was tough, sister annabel, brother calvin and brother mark were there... pretty stressful... shall not describe more about this.. hehe. anyway, they got us to sing some songs and have to sing parts by ourselves. i was quite surprised cos i thought they'd actually teach us parts before hand... oh, nvm, i just did what i could. i got the right alto part for the praise, but worship i was abit off for the alto part... keep me in prayer ya??

after that, we had to rush for the train cos it's really late!! went to bedok to draw cash and sent kailun home den made my way home... tired!! i thought of taking leave tmr but i realised i can't cos there's lotsa work to clear... better sleep soon.. bye!

Rev Dr Ulf Ekman's Seminar

okie, now i am blogging for the seminar... Rev. Dr. Ulf is here in Singapore! He preached on tuesday, wednesday and thursday night. it was great! and very exciting! i love conferences cos 1)powerful word of God! 2)get to see everyone Q-ing in kiasuism like 3 hours before the conference. i remember on the first night i reached at 6.50pm [cos i work til 5.30pm] and i nearly couldn't go down. i was among the last 50 people to go down. thank God! my members managed to save a seat for me in the auditorium.

second night, i asked for 1/2hr time off and i reached church at 6.11pm. i went to 3rd floor and my zone members were right in the front of the Q. talking about Kiasuism... they came at 4pm to Q. after the conference, i get to take a free ride home! fifi sponsored the cab to punggol... yay!

third night, i also asked for 1/2hr time off... cos i was too excited. hehe. i didn't have to Q tho, cos i am singing for choir and i get to sit on the stage... it's not comfy but it's well worth it! the 3rd night's about unity and it was fantastic. Dr Ulf preached about the body of Christ, i wish all my members were there to listen.

and gladys passed me a box of home-fried beehoon! made by her mum, for me! i miss them sooo much... the last time i tasted them was like 4 years ago? it was fun, on the way home on the tampines bus, i was eating the beehoon and rara played the zone camp vcd for me to watch. hehe, feels like i'm at home. when we reached tampines, we [me,rara,chelle,gladys,jan,yongkang,khym,noel,john and ianlim] went to S11 to eat. i gladys, jan and i didn't eat cos we weren't hungry. there was an old man there... keep cursing and swearing into thin air... tink he's dranl. ian says he was doing that the previous night too... weird.

oh yea, i cut my fringe[check it out!]!! and i bought new shoes, pointy ones... cos i oni have open-toe shoes and sister bel says can't wear those for choir, so i had to buy non-open-toe shoes. those i saw are pretty awful, cept for pointy ones, they're soooo cute! *hiakz

Cellgroup Sunday!
had guitar lesson on sunday morning. it was fun! taught them to play half bar and some theory. the class is growing! i'm glad that my members are excited to learn guitar! well, cellgroup gonna multiply real soon so we really need more guitarists.

the cellgroup was great! we had a long worship and the presence of God was so strong. Sis Sherling laid hands and prophesied over me. i just kept weeping while playing the guitar. i feel so much stronger and much more focused now. God has really changed me.

after the cellgroup, jonlim, charlotte, grace, gwyn, charmaine and me went to yoshinoya at causeway for our late-lunch. hungry! grace and yunxian were there to do the appreciation cards for the cellgroup friends.

pics!
this are some of the cards... so colorful!

Guess what? he announced that sister sherling is attached! to brother tony! brother tony's from pastor Aries' zone.

i got lotsa gifts that day! everyone got lotsa gifts i suppose. i went home with a whole bag of stuff and a balloon in my hand... i got lotsa chocolates too, but i can't eat them cos i need to protect my voice and i just recovered from stomach flu.

that's about all, the rest are all in the fridge... lotsa chocs and sweets... and a rose from carter which is half withered by now... so cannot take the photo. haha.

we sang "that's what friends are for" at the roof top and we made alot of noise! haha. it was fun and enjoyable, and we had a good time appreciating the members.

after that, i had to rush cos my friend, kenneth [with his girlfriend, cles], was at church to pick us [me and shuzhen] to go for supper. so weird that we're there to be lightbulbs on V-day... but they insist that they dun mind. funny. anyway, he's driving, so we're more den happy to ride.

i've recovered!!!

thank God!!!

i was okay last evening. i felt strong again and i felt that the giddiness has left me! so i could sit up at my desk for a long time without feeling dizzy! so i must really take good care of myself from now onwards. u can't buy health!

i had a good breakfast this morning, and a good lunch just now. my appetite's back [tho i still dun feel hungry as much as i used to, which is good]. still got abit of running nose and my gums' bothering me. the gums on my left are swollen... *pain.

today's time flies! yay!~
it's already 1.23pm, i've done quite alotta work today. *contentment

heard dat Gothika is a nice moobie... but the reviews were not really good.

ohya, i've got an interview next week with IMH [institute of mental health], ahem, for the position of a counsellor, not for admission, incase u're wondering.

*sian

we dun haf enough pc's to use today so i gotta go over to the call centre and use the pc there. i was quite sian in the beginning, cos now i find it less stressful to be working over here. *smilez.

spent some time thinking about what i have been doing since my graduation. it's really time i get a proper job. it's already february! wunder what i have been doing. God help me!

feeling much better today, with certain moments of giddiness and nausea. when i was going to work, i felt like i was floating when i was transfering from the NEL to the NSL [north-south line for your info]. after lunch i felt exceptionally cold, thank God for warm water and hot milo.

ate alot of sweets today to keep my mind from the giddiness. it works but i better subsitute it with something healthier before i become diabetic or sumthing.

gotta cancel tmr's guitar class again, cos all of us need to call our frens for our friendship dae special this saturday! so sorry to disappoint my dear students, but it means more time for u to practice isn't it? jon had taken the initiative to inform everyone about tmr's class, altho i didn't ask him to. thanx jon! i know he'd be disappointed abt the cancellation of class [again] but i hope he understands!

i haven't been myself lately. seem to be living in isolation due to my illness. i'd be myself this coming saturday! yea, and back on the choir platform too.

i'm on MC today again.

i was feeling awful yesterday at work, so i went to the clinic after work. but the clinic was closed for dinner! so i went home first and dropped by again after dinner.told the doc that i hadn't improved in my condition at all, after finishing all the medication. he checked my temperature, my pulse, my blood pressure... he said that everything's okie. he went on to say that i am having post-viral infection... that the infection is affecting my balance mechanism or something and that makes me dizzy... he gave me more medication and a day's MC. i really hope i'd be fine soon. the giddiness is killing me.

my cell members made something for me....
see!

just had my dinner, and was about to rest when i remembered that i haven't blogged. i wanted to blog when i came home but when i was online, i just couldn't recall what i wanted to do... *memory loss

i woke up at 10am this morning. had a bad headache, tried to sit up but the headache got worse, so i lied down again. woke up at 11am and felt better. i went to wash up and change and left the house at 12.45pm to go for church. last night sis sherling informed me that i have a leadership interview today at 2pm. i reached church and was interviewed by sister mag. it wasn't as stressful as i thought and before i knew it, the interview was over. i met gladys at boonlay interchange and i went to eat lunch with her cellgroup. got home at 5plus and i was TIRED! i'm still recuperating, so i guess i still get tired pretty easily, but at least i dun feel nauseous anymore.

hmm... yestie's audition... think it wasn't good. my voice didn't recover in time and brother jason commented that i used alot of nasal to sing. i explained that it's cos of my flu... well, at least i did my best [even in my sickness], i have no regrets!

i gotta go and rest again. see ya!

guess what? i feel better now! i didn't go to work today again. i was afraid that my boss jason would be upset with me, but i really had to rest. 休息是为了走更长远的路. -->correct anot ah? anyway, those who cannot read chinese or dun have the chinese software, it means 'rest is necessary if i wanna go a further distance'. so i took the day off to rest.

REASONS WHY I HAD TO REST TODAY
1) i want to recover once and for all
2) i want to be active and cheerful again! [sickness makes me abit slow and blur, and can't talk properly.]
3) i need my voice for tomoro's audition [btw, i got into the 2nd audition for the children's church singer!]
4) i want to sing for service tomoro
5) i want to conduct guitar class and play for makeup cellgroup on sunday
6) i want my face to recover too [my face... *sob. got alot of BIG zits]
7) i wanna get back to work.... [if not no money!]
8) i dun wan my mama to worry for me!

hmm, ya, that's about all. ohya, thanx for not reminding me about my zits. i think my zone members are great. i had 3 huge pimples on my face last night, but none of my zone members came and say "wah, your pimple very big hor?". that's what i called discipled members with self-control!

what exactly is stomach flu? i know it produces lotsa wind in my tummy. den it makes me unable to feel that i am hungry or full. i didn't eat much yesterday, but i didn't feel hungry at all.

my cell members prayed for healing for me last night. i tot it's just a short prayer, but it ended up like a mini prayer meeting. hehe. i was really very touched by their initiative, and i know God's healing power came. i didn't feel very sick after the meeting, just abit blur.

ohya! yesterday at work, i had to switch pc with my colleagues. my desktop is shifted to jean's desk, so i had to use guoxing's laptop from now on. guoxing has no pc to use now. haaa. dunno how leh. i was feeling terrible yesterday so i just watched as the 3 of them [guoxing, jean and gilvin] moved the stuff around. yestie i was so dizzy, i spent like 2 hours staring into the laptop and doing nothing. but the 2hours realli seems like 4.

7th day of being sick. *sian

i woke up at 6.45am... felt terrible again. i was wondering why am i sick for so long? i sms jason again that i need another halfday to rest. i can't afford to take the whole day off. what's more i have to go for the zone meeting tonight, if i rest at home, i won't be able to go out in the evening.

i went to the doc at 10am. he said that i have stomach flu... *diao. how on earth did i get that? doc says it's bacterial infection. think my thermometer is spoilt, cos doc says my temp is 37.7... got fever. my thermometer says 36.7. weird. he gave me a day's mc and alot of medication. flu, cough, gastrit, giddiness, nauseousness, lozenges for sore throat... he din gimme medicine for fever tho, cos he say take panadol can liao. i hate takin medicine!

mama ask me take the whole day off... so tempted to. but cannot, cos i have to go for zone meeting tonight. i'd just have to have faith in God. must recover tonight.

i feel much much beta now. imagine being sick for 6 days. argh. *frustrated

but sick doesn't mean i cannot do things as usual... just that i get lethargic very easily... today i realli took time to sleep! the fever's gone. my sore throat's gone too [yay!]. but the flu's still here. today din go for mark's farewell dinner[he's leaving tmr!], and din attend choir prac too. so i'd be going on friday with zixiu. just now before dinner i went to buy the drink that Ian asked me to buy... it's not oleanda la... dunno what also. i forgot to write down the name.haha. it's a silverish bottle with blue words. it's white flower snake grass drink [literally]. tastes terrible.

ah... i'm feeling weak again. tink must go and lie down again... if not tmr cannot go for the zone meeting.

you are khaki
#F0E68C

Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling".

Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan.

Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

i felt my worst last night.

never felt so giddy in my whole life! realli dunno what happened to me... the fever just comes and goes, comes and goes... the sore throat and flu are getting me, makes me feel so uncomfortable. last night i was so giddy i had to lie down. i was tinking if i should take the next day off to rest... or struggle to work like i did yesterday.

woke up at 6.45am and i still felt sick. so i sms jason that i need the day off to rest. den i continued to sleep til like 10am. i got up to wash up and my limbs were feeble. the giddiness isn't that bad anymore tho. really pray that i'd fully recover today. just ate panadol [the one for cold relief]...Ian Ian was telling me that the Oleandia drink or sumthing liddat is good, i wanted to go and buy but my mama say dun anyhow drink... *lol.

tonight is the farewell dinner for mark, he's going australia to study le. so sad, i think i can't go, cos there's a risk of fallin' sick again if i go. but i realli wanna go.

i reached home reali earlie last night for a saturday. got home lyke 10.30pm! usualli i'd take the church shuttle bus, but i felt realli sick so i decided to go back straightaway. i hate being sick! argh. can't be myself. on the train back, i was realli feeling like i wanna collapse already, but the train was so packed. when i got home, i went to bed and slept. woke up at 3am again. what's wrong with my bio-clock these days? but thank God, i managed to drift back to dreamland and i slept til e10plus. when i woke up this morning, my head was heavy and spinning, my hands were trembling. felt so weak. was comtemplating if i should go for the guitar class... but i just got myself working on the guitar notes and when i was done, i went out with my guitar.

howe was at admiralty mrt to help me with my guitar. thank God, if not i might just faint on the way... hehe. the class was good, but short. cos i tink we used the place for too long and the owners were not very happy.

i'm home now! hehe. got home at 6pm and quickly sent the testimony to brother gabriel.

yay! tomoro is hari raya. haha, can rest le. it's a great time to pray and worship... haven't had a long personal worship time. hee. everytime i worship at night, it's kinda of distracting, cos my mum would just come into the room.. and everytime it's when i'm so deep into it...haiz.
