Embarking on a new phase.

I cannot imagine life without you.

Thankfully, we're taking steps to make sure that doesn't happen.

Hope

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside still waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil,
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

When David wrote this psalm, he was not expressing hope that God would abolish evil so that he could pass through the valley of the shadow safely. He implied that God's presence gave him the confidence to pass through difficult places, trials with confidence that God will never desert him. Hope does not come from our own strength, intelligence or favourable circumstances, but from the Lord.

Somewhere along the way we lost it.

A large cloud of apprehension looms threateningly in the air.

At this stage, such feelings should not overcome me. Instead, it should be confidence, contentment, happiness and peace.

Perhaps things just went downhill since that day.

I really need alot of convincing that this will work out eventually. One reason, just ONE will do. Unfortunately I'm not getting any.

Strangers after all.

Feeling hurt never felt so tiring and exhausting.

It's best not to have any expectations in the beginning, at least then there wouldn't be disappointments.

DAKOTA.

My first blue box! :D

I'm a happy girl!

(wah lao, nose is damn big. boo!)

I see you.

Big reality check today, and more revelations from God, speaking to me but I'm finding it hard to truly understand deeper.

Praying hard to understand and live out the true meaning of being HUMBLE.

Admit that many times I've been too conceited, too self-righteous, too proud, too ignorant. And I'm thankful for family and friends who genuinely care and provide words of love and encouragement to bring me back down to earth.

Alot of learning and moulding to do...

Fooling around.

I'm fiddling around with wordpress. So far it's been quite a breeze with the navigations around the page, much more to be explored!

Thinking of setting up a dedicated web page thingy for QLCYA and I've got some great ideas! Unfortunately I can't translate my ideas into reality with my sub-standard image editing skills. Gotta change the header pic, add in some cool flash animation thingy, so much to be done! Would need some help! But who?

Opps, hope my dear blogger won't feel jealous. I'm sticking around blogger for a little while longer..but wordpress is an exciting new thing! Hehe.

Btw, the JAMIE CULLUM concert last night was AWESOME! Wasn't particularly thrilled about it initially, but it was a thoroughly pleasant surprise and fun-filled crazy night! He was extremely entertaining and interacting with the audience, making jokes, jumping around like a 12yo kid high on too much chocolates (could be beer/drugs?). And the music! OHMYTHEMUSIC! Though Mr Weng and I sat at the last row all the way up in the concert hall, it was a superbly fun night and $46 worth every cent :)

Fat people are harder to kidnap.

Fat people have no right calling other fat people FAT.

Look at yourself in the mirror and STFU. Enough of all these you-are-so-fat jokes and are-you-pregnant comments.

Screw you, you and you.

I'll make myself skinny at all cost if it means all these nasty jokes and comments can stop; if it means people will take me seriously; if it means people will take notice of me and love me a little bit more.

When I'm With You.

Stellarium @ the esplanade. They did a really cool cover of Best Coast's "When I'm With You". Such a earworm!

Makeover my life.

Twenty-Ten has been great to me so far. I really enjoyed my one month break from work. I rested, spent more time with my family, met up with friends that I haven't seen in a long time, had more me-time. It was truly refreshing.

Enjoying my temp job too. Been at it for a month. Get to go home ON THE DOT every day. Vastly different from my previous work place. Wondering how my life would change again, once this contract is over in May.

CNY was over in a blast. It was a whirl of various activities, lotsa food, late nights and blackjack. And Arthur finally joined the gang for dinner gathering at hao's place on 3rd day of CNY. Like after 6 years?

Bintan with sheena and hao over the weekend was more lazing and bumming. Think I bummed enough to last me for a few months. We were lucky to get our room upgraded to a suite! There was a living room and bedroom with huge ass toilet and balcony with the seaview. Schuueeeet! If it weren't for the endless HBO movies and comfy king sized bed, we would have stayed outdoors more :P

Lazy to post pictures. Maybe tomorrow...
