Years have passed since then, and time is moving faster everyday….

I just need to remind myself to keep working hard…….

Very tiring at times, but a little encouragement goes a long way, easily defeated by misunderstandings….

Looking back then, things have improved a lot for me since working part time last time… Thank God for bringing me through all these years.

Really feel like taking a long break. But resting so much today, seems enough already.

Feel like I’m starting to slow down and slacken.

Cannot…

(I wonder whether if some ppl with double personalities will have two very different blogs… like e.g. One would be so gothic and wanna hate everyone, and the other blog would be so light-hearted and cheerful kind. Don’t think it existed except in people with such mental disorders. You can be assured I’m not one of them. Just wanna shift the blog to somewhere due to some reasons.)

I gotta sleep on my assignments.

3rd day in Jurong.

Cool weather, lots of Malaysians, a bit far from friends and sleeping with my sis is okay so far.. kicked her a bit and she hit me a bit.. hehe. At least I’m not frightened by her “caterpillar” face. hehehe. It’s a rather musical family I’m staying with, they sing, they play guitar … and they make powerpoint slides for songs… i’m plugged in to 92.4 fm to concentrate for assignments.. Looked at the bus’ sign on the way home — “Jurong East’– felt very wrong. ( It’s like in divorce, the kids affected always have a hope in them that their parents will be reconciled, and I still have a hope in me that I’ll be returning back to Serangoon… BUT THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN.)

Lots of people meeting up around me.. things happening to people and their families.. but I’m still stuck with my assignments…….. Few more days it’ll be over.

Motivational verses: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength; The joy of the Lord is my strength; Ask and it shall be given to you……..

In my stomach: Green tea + Redbull+ Beehoon+ Jia jia herbal tea. Feeling “cooled” (Chinese herbal way) and energized.

Quite funny reading it now. I was very serious with what I wrote back then and felt exactly the way I wrote.

Taking pictures all over the house for memorial sake..

For some strange reason, I have difficulty concentrating on what I should be doing today.

Too tired yesterday maybe.

By seeing their point, you will be able to learn things that may be a blindspot for you or it will be easier to let them understand your point by explaining things in terms of their point…

This is something that has to be worked on.

Criticism should firstly be taken in a constructive light, no matter how bad it may seem, and not to be defensive first. That would be how you can see things from their point of view.

Reached the void deck and saw my dismantled bed lying there, and seriously, my heart skipped a beat. When I reached home, the piano was gone, in its place were boxes of stuff to move to jurong. A treasure gone. I didn’t really dare to open my room, afraid of what I’ll be seeing. Whew. It’s my sis’ bed there and I have a place to sleep, which is pleasantly unexpected. But my nose was uncomfortable as my room is currently quite dusty.

Do I have a Jurong face? I used to think that people who live in Serangoon will have a Serangoon type of face and it never crossed my mind that my face could change from a Serangoon face to a Jurong one. I prefer to have a Serangoon face. There was once I had an Aljunied face too. Whatever. Just stressed up. LOL.

It is not usual of me to worry about things. I was a bit concerned about moving in with the other family that we are gonna live with, like where I can hang my clothes and must behave myself at all times. Maybe a bit awkward in the beginning, but should be fine as they are rather kind people.

Somethings will still kept in the old house for four months.

Supposed to go for the Canberra YCC meeting with my society VP re: this Sat Zouk’s Party for a cause for the society. But I told her if someone is accompanying her than I wouldn’t go as I need to do my assignments. She told me it’s okay and to do my assignments. (touched)hehe. Didn’t really want to publicise the event to my friends as I don’t really wanna encourage my friends to go clubbing, but who ever is there will just do a good cause, should be good enough. Don’t know if I’ll be going this Sat as sec to support the event as my family is also moving out on that same day to the west, yeah baby. Jurong west.

Was thinking whether after moving there, I would see the regular folks around this area lesser..

Until I moved over there, in August, I will try to gain back my driving skills for driving around.

Meeting Stephanie tmr morning at mrt way early as she offers to pray for the coming JCI (intensive audit) at work this week.

No need to worry too much, just a day at a time.

Anticipating August to come…. where I would be able to do more of the things that I would normally do.

After moving in, I intend to buy more alarm clocks as I need to wake up earlier than usual. Everytime I wanted to go Kovan to buy, but when I’m there, I just have no time to buy….

Otherwise… Hope that it will be a smooth transition.

My room is now full of boxes, and I pack them myself. Quite heavy and must be careful not to sprain back… I think I’m like the fittest in the house as my parents are old and my sis is away in Malaysia for her ODAC camp for NIE. So yeah.. I need to train up some muscles. HAHA enuff of the crap.

SO SAD!!!

My pet!!

Please don’t~~~~~~ please don’t…

Memories since when I was in Primary One. Hope it will bring joy to the new ppl.. Just hope they won’t eat food on it. Treat it well.

Got a piano in the rented house and we will be buying a new one anyway.

Real sad cos really have a lot of feelings for it.

Goodbye my black Strauss.

Take care..

Reminds me of the situation where the government wants to cut down an old tree for development, and ppl just cling onto the tree refusing the order..

heartbreaking.

For parents looking for a good birthday party for their children, can try KFC at compass point.

I was sitting beside the closed up section trying to work on my assignments, and the party host from KFC is quite good in making the children do something like a cheer leading thing and the Chicky mascot even came out to play with them. They did the chicky dance and the children seem super happy. HAHAHA. Kids are just so spontaneous and natural in expressing themselves. Whereas adults have to think twice before saying things. Which is good too.

Now back to working on my assignments. I better focus.

Head is clearer after these few days, meeting ups with friends, and loved ones, and also went for my cell group in Kovan after 7 months of missing it.

Feel that I’m going to do the right thing once again.

Feel very encouraged from the cell group session. Being there– I just feel very at peace, relaxed and just like a safe haven to hear from the other elders brothers and sisters. Fellowship is important. A twig’s flame can be easily extinguished on its own, but a log of fire burn brightly. Just nice when I was thinking about God’s will. The topic is on God’s will as per scheduled. It is God’s will hehe. Learned important points on it.

Failures show us that we have weakness and it is really not possible to achieve everything by our own self and by our own strength all the time. That is why we need to rely on God– by prayer and your 100% responsbility too. We have 100% freedom and 100% responsibility.

Feeling positive and geared up.

Anticipated the moving of my house in a few days time, a new life and a sort of an “escape” and a retreat I feel like it is as if.

From the movie Hancock, the story is quite nice, a nice love story. And it shows the importance of mentorship in a person’s life in helping that person to break his own barriers and to improve himself on. And it shows in a funny way that women actually prefer stability, peace and happiness in life instead of being with the guy she truly loved?

I’m thankful for Uncle Chris being my personal Christian mentor though it’s through another gd sis/fren of mine to know him. He has pulled me up when I was in the mud… Hope he’s well in Australia with his daughter and have a safe trip home. He is also a very big encouragement to me. And after July, I’ll try to focus more on society and the girls’ group.

Busy weeks ahead.

The sales worldwide, just today amount to over millions, including Asia.

This sales phenomena is notably a great success and is a learning point.

The publicity for this one and a half years was very well done and promoted. Enough time was given for the different countries to get to know more about it, to understand it and to want it.

Very smart indeed. Kudos.

Applied this to some things that my society needs to improve on…
