HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hope it was a BOOMZ day for all of you!!!

Back at homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

TEEHEEHEE

Awwww, *melts* :}

"Details Determine Destiny"

I remember the first person who made known this phrase to me was Delphine.
It was a wonderful insight, that set me thinking... And convinced. :)

Indeed, details determine destiny.

I gotta be excellent even in the smallest detail!

Few things on muh mind

1. I just successfully stuffed myself to the brim!! Ate nonstop since 6pm til now, and am gonna be on another journey of fasting!

Prayer and fasting works miracles!

-

2. This word - "FLOW".
I checked the dictionary and "flow" means to move along in a stream.

Well, I'm thinking flow in a sense of flowing with your leaders.

Knowing that they are the (God-)appointed ones above you, won't you flow with their visions and their plans? Believe in what they believe in, join in in whatever they are planning...

Even if it's something silly they want to do, won't we just get in sync with our leaders and go along with them?
[of cause, in consideration that it doesn't contradict one's good morals and the will of God]

It's part of LOYALTY. How loyal we are to the ones above us. And loyalty is a virtue.

It's always good to flow. Always good to get in tuned and involved with what's in the mind of your leader.

C'mon, hop on to the boat, and let's have a great journey together, flowing! :)

3. My half-broken toenail still hurts!! And is irritating. And I'm having a headache.

A walk to remember

I just caught this show, A Walk to Remember, again after maybe years. :)
It's a great show, and I appreciate it so much more now as compared to my primary school days...

Basically a show about love. Love makes our walk in life memorable.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Am feeling so strongly about this 'thing' called love.
God is love.

Love is my everything.

That lovely little corner

Have been spending time more than ever in my small lovely balcony at home,
just sorting out my thoughts.

It's the only place in my house where you feel... Great to think about things :)

Travelling on

It has been a very bumpy journey for me.
I've many things weighing me down.

God only YOU can make a road in the wilderness,
A river in the desert.
Only YOU can provide for me a way out of my bumpy journey.

My night just turned out worst.

What more?

To make things worse,
I've no home to return to.

Pressing on for my breakthrough

To be God-focused,
and not promisedland-focused.

The Lord knows the way that I take,
and when He has tested me, I shall shine forth as gold.

My Sister's Keeper

I caught the movie My Sister's Keeper. It is without doubt, my favouritest movie of the year (out of the fairly many I've caught). And it is one of the bestest movies I've watched, ever. I love the show sooooo much.



It's basically a show all about this family... About love. About destined lives. About sacrifices. About things you and I can definitely relate to.

It's a very sad and emotional show. Even from the start, I was on the brink of tears. And the last 1/3 of the show or so, I found myself weeping uncontrollably and thinking, "God this is really too sad. Oh no, it's very saddddd. This show's very sad..."

It's a touching-sad kinda show. And I like the way it invoked so much emotions in, I'm sure, not only me but everyone watching. The atmosphere in the theater was really solemn (which was eventually destroyed by me; but let's not talk about embarrassing things :/).

I like the show for the many thoughts it stirred up in me too. The several "revelations" I grasped.. It's a show with depth.

Till now, my mind is still so preoccupied with the details from this most awesome show. I'm still recovering from all the invoked emotions. In fact, I'm still talking to Emily about it. Discussing the show... It just ain't a show that I'd put at the back of my mind right after watching it.

Ahhh you can see how much I love this movie. It's my kinda show. I don't mind spending more money, and watching it again. :)

It somehow made me love and cherish my family more.



& There was One who purposefully came to this Earth to just, give His life... So we could live.
His name is Jesus.

Live On Webcam

Am sure you guys have heard of live concerts... Live band performances...
BUT LIVE WEBCAM PERFORMANCE??

Gosh! You guys DON'T wanna experience it!!
Especially when the other party is having all the fun, and you aren't!!
(and the other party just keeps repeating same lyrics... Same tune... Wow. :/)

Noone like her

"In life all we need are a few very close friends",
and that's the truth.

I thank God that 3 years back, He brought in my life one of the greatest gift I can ever have...


My Best Friend, Emily Ng.

Words are never sufficient enough to express my feelings towards this most cherished friendship in my life.

Emily is one of the best things that ever happened to me in my life! :)

She's the friend I can behave superly insane when with her.
She's the friend I can share anything and everything with, lame funny silly crazy heartfelt...
She's the friend I can cry and laugh before.
She's the friend in whose presence I can truly be myself.

Here's a friend I'd lay my life down for.
And here's a friendship I never want to take for granted.
Here's a friendship I'm so glad God's our God.

Words fail me big time,
but I'm utmost thankful for Emy.
The fact she's a friend I can count on when I just need someone.
The fact I can just talk anything to (it's hard to find someone like that)

I'd never exchange her for anything else.
Even if you give me a billion dollars, seriously.

Happy 3rd year Bffy!
Thank you for the moments we've shared.
Many greater years of friendship to comeeeee!!! :)

Lovin' it

I can watch Gossip Girl over and over again. And not get sick of it!!!
Awesomezzz. Hee!

Praying hard

Uncertainties lie..
I can only trust things in His hands.

God, please hear my cry today.

I must remember and know Jere 29:11.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh

Now even small things drive me insane and keep me on my feet.
Grahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

My Firm Foundation

I'm building my life and everything else on a stronger Rock..

Learning to not lose hold of that vision; that dream.
If time is what it takes, time I will give.
Teach me to tarry patiently.

House of the Dead

Have you guys played House of the Dead before? The shooting game in arcades... Well, I had my first time yesterday!!! And guess what? I only lasted like, probably... 1 minute of the game. Gosh. No kidding, and it cost me $1.50. Each play is $1.50. :S

Ah, I'm really bad at it. The zombies just kept attacking me, and being unable to shake them off, I eventually diedddddddddddddddd. I watched other people played before! And they lasted really long :(

At least I know of a friend who is as bad at this game as me. Her name starts with an E :)

OH NOOOOO

I feel like the fattest girl on planet Earth again!!!!!!
Ate tooooo much today!!!

BOOHOO.

What am i compared to You?

Just like Job

"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the Lord"

Methinks

If everything were to be built on my emotions,
my life would be a disaster..
And nothing would stand.

Built on my Firm Foundation.

Sorority Row

This show made my heart wanna come out from my mouth man! I ain't a horror/scary show kinda person. Even if the show doesn't talk about ghosts/spirits. A show like Sorority Row with a mysterious murderer that creeps up onto the characters and kills them suddenly freaks me out too. I found myself covering my eyes or seeking distraction by using my phone at various parts of the movie. I attempted to find security in my movie partner E too, who apparently only made me all scaredddddd.

It took me quite a bit of time to recover from the pulse-accelerating movie.

Maybe it's just me. Haha.

Many nice shows up now in theatres!! My Sister's Keeper, Imagine That, Julie & Julia... And many more coming up! :D yay!

THE Para Para Dancer

HAHA presenting to you my favourite, one and only PARA PARA DANCER!!!

Called

Learning to be right at the back; right at the bottom; just there at the last.

It takes effort, constant reminders, help from Him.

There can be miracles..

I'm going to retire for the day now at 10:44pm.
It's a miracle, I know :D

Teehee. Hoping to wake up real early tomorrow though!!!

P.S. I had a really awesome & fruitful day today :) Loved it. Did quite a bit of running around.. :) Ended the day perfectly - PM, dinner with very special people like Cynthia & Emy & their awesome members, surfin' the net a bit & catching up with a few more people, bible. (Y)

More of such simple yet great days, please!

Nightmare with Prestigious Cabs!

I decided to cab to Jurong West today, and went to hail a cab.

I waited 5 minutes... 10 minutes... about 15 minutes... STILL NO CAB IN SIGHT.
I got a little worried as all the cabs that went pass me were either "Hired" or "On Call". I was even thinking if I should call one too! But decided to just wait.

Finally, a black cab that looked pretty cool came. I have never sat on this kind of cab before! Before I boarded the cab, I noticed the words on the cab door - SMRT Prestige. Then and there, I felt something already. I was boarding a Prestigeeeee cab man.

However, it didn't look comparable to Merc cabs so I didn't think too much about it. I was expecting its starting fare to be similar to Merc cabs ($3.20). THEN, when the uncle started the meter, I GOT A SHOCK OF MY LIFE. My heart was gonna come out of my mouth already! The starting fare was FIVE DOLLARS. And that wasn't the worst!!!
I realized the way the meter jumped wasn't like how it is in normal cabs. It jumps by THIRTY CENTS, unlike the usual TWENTY CENTS :'( I really wanted to puke then. Hahahaha. I couldn't help but think of the super unjustified cash that was gonna fly away from me...

ALSO, the meter jumps every very-short-distance. The distance per thirty cents was less than the normal distance per 20 cents driven by the usual cabs.

I was sooooo... :S turned off. Hahahhaha. It was a freaky experience man.

I left the cab with 21 dollars less in my wallet, unlike the usual supposed 11 dollars. Just to Jurong West!! It costs me only about 18 to cab from my house to EXPO! :O

Don't say I didn't warn you guys - AVOID THE BLACK PRESTIGIOUS-LOOKING SMRT CABS IF YOU AREN'T FEELING RICH THAT DAY!!!

Current feelings

Time robbed away :(

Returning to the place of beginnings

I do miss those times...
Fairly a lot.

Midnight Sins

For the 3rd night consecutively,
I gave into temptation... & ate chips vvvvvvvvvvvv late into the night.

On Friday, I ate at near 5 am, and fell asleep! :(
On Sat, I ate at 1 am, and fell asleep! :(
On Sunday(today), I'm eating now at 1:30 am. May I sooooo not fall asleep! Extremely fattening :{

And furthermore!!!!!!!! I had a reeeeaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyy filling dinner! Ate till I was very full. Eating again nowwww.

Reality

Many are called,
but few are chosen.

Thinking,

Investing in the right ones.

Gotta spend my time wisely!

Unbelievable!! Or not.

I'm eating truckloads of potato chips now at 4:45am. Was supposed to turn in real soon... But I guess not anymore? :(

Ahhhh lovin' the chips so much!!! But Gwen you gotta try to stop!!!

Deeply reminded...

Martha was too caught up with serving and ministry,

while Mary just sat by the feet of Jesus and worshipped Him...

-

I want to be a Mary.

Meant to be?

What's meant to be,
will always be meant to be.

Change what you can,
leave the rest unto the hands of the one Upper Being.

500 Days of Summer

Awesome movie!!! :) I love it! A pity Emily & I had to leave the theaters before the show ended. Sorry Em! :(

500 Days Of Summer ain't a typical romance movie.. In fact, the show isn't a very emotion-stirring movie, unlike some very good romance films. Good storyline (kinda sad, cause no happy ending! :( ) but what's most impressive is how the entire movie is "styled". It's very unique.

It has a very 'Literature' and arty touch to it, which I love very much!! Super liked the arty portrayal of one's emotions, the transitions and such. How they showed the comparisons of expectations & reality.. (Y)!

Also found it ironic how a working adult sought a young girl for advices. Could the issues of life blind a supposedly-maturer person from the essence of life even children understood? I guess it's always important to find back the child in all of us. To learn to push aside the complexities of life we tend to look into as we grow older and go back to that child-like simplicity.

"Great people are those that take delight serving in the simplest, smallest and least significant* ways"



*least significant in the eyes of men, but never in the eyes of God. God looks at the heart...

I'm very sorry Javier

I'm sorry Javier,
for the times I've failed as a friend.
I'm sorry Javier,
for the many times I was unavailable for you.
I'm sorry Javier,
for the words I've spoken I didn't keep.

:( I want to be a better friend!!
You are one of my best friends in school, ever!!
Today really was unwell. Then couldn't make it. Please don't be angryyy :(

I'll learn to be a better friend to yeeeeeee :)

My True Friend

Always a reason to thank God for..
Always a reason to smile..
Always a reason to feel proud..

My Bffy. :)

Meblogs!

Mehopes,
holidays have started for me already.

Methinks,
me body clock is messed up. Me am very alert now at 3 am.

Mesays,

Meloves,
prayer week @ church!! It's prayer week again next week! Woooosah, breakthroughs I yearn and am excited for!

Medreads,
feeling hungry at this hour...



God is good, all the time!

Getting over me

I have this occasional "Why are you using comp? Not studying?" thing coming up to me...

Child-like faith

I want to approach God with a child-like faith.

With a love so genuine and pure.
I do not want to have a mixed heart,
I want to sincerely cling onto Him.
I want to enjoy times alone with Him.
I want to have eyes set on Him.
I want to know Him for who He is.
I hope to be contented with what He's given.

I want my faith to please Him so...

Touched

By a kind of love so genuine.

Meanwhile, I'm just gonna live to my best in every single area of my life!
No complaints, no regrets :)






-

P.S. My promos ended!!! Yippee! :)
Am gonna celebrate hard, and prayyyy real hard.

Peter

It was Peter who took a big step of faith to walk on water towards Jesus.
But his faith was shaken, and began to sink.
HOWEVER, Jesus loved Peter, and stretched out His hand and caught him.

It was Peter who first had the revelation that Jesus is the Son of the living God.
But he was too unstable a man for Jesus to rely on.
HOWEVER, Jesus loved Peter, and gave him a destiny to be a great apostle so mightily anointed.

It was Peter whom Jesus revealed to on the Mount of Transfiguration
But he still had unbelief and could not perform miracles like Jesus did.
HOWEVER, Jesus loved Peter, and taught Peter all the same.

It was Peter whom Jesus took the cross for and loved so deeply
But he denied Jesus 3 times
HOWEVER, Jesus loved Peter, and restored him.

-

It was Peter,
Jesus loved. And always never gave up on.

It was Peter,
Jesus loved. And had the best at heart for...

It was Peter,
Jesus loved. And restored no matter what had happened.

It was Peter,
Jesus loved. And had a great destiny in mind for.

Jesus caused all things to work out for Peter who loved Him.

The Number 6!

6 things I wanna share on 6th Oct!

1) Today, is finally FREEDOM DAY. End of my torturous course of promos!!
It hasn't really been good so far.. Haha, my worst exam period in my entire life. Somehow. :(

Just really trusting God for the best. Praying so hard I can promote. Grace, grace, grace I need!


2) I was at New York New York today for a good dinner. Enjoyed the food, enjoyed the company :)
Hardly anything beats a good dinner during an irritating time of exams!


3) On an even lighter note, I've learnt to rely on God more and to love Him more during this long special season of my life.
I'm so thankful for the intricate plans God has set up just for me, so He can build my character and my walk with Him!

Glory to glory, I'm believing!


4) I'm gonna try out Red Bull to keep me awake during my last 2 papers later.
Please give me wings, o you red bull!


5) Have been having several thoughts on my mind... Significant food-for-thoughts to really ponder about. New insights and even revelations through it all! :)


6) It's the birthday of one of my few closest friends - WONG SEEWAN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
YOU'RE A GEM IN MY EYES.
LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!! :D

-

Okay, back to my books. I can't wait to bid my books farewell, and to engage more in my social life!!

Beauty in the eyes of the beholder

There's this really really gorgeous girl in front of me now.
Great dressing, stunning bag.
Using an acer laptop...

Eh wait, she looks familiar!
Oh it's Emily.

(Geez, I sound sick)

70 kg liaoxzxz! :(

Have been snacking a lot recently though many a times my stomach really doesn't feel like eating.
I guess it's the exam study pressure :( it just makes me wanna eat.

Had chicken rice, mcflurry, large fries while I was out today. And now I'm eating lots of tidbits...

Ugh, gotta plan some exercise regime after my promos!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 more days, 3 more papers

Oh my,
it's killer geog the next 2 days.
I've piles more to study!!

And not to forget my Lit paper 2 on Moll.
Haven't finished reading my book!! :(

Say a prayer for me, won't you?
Really need all your prayers!!

I need more of You...

The tears that people shed for you..
That you yourself really do not know.

Sadly enough to say,

Things got more distant,
it seems.

Such a feeling's coming over me!

Your love's put me at the top of this world :D


The Carpenters is by far my favourite oldie band!
I love their other music like Close To You and more.. Hee.

My love for them 'bloomed' today after I heard Top of the World (above),
and I started researching on them...
Realized Karen Carpenter (half of the awesome duo) passed away from Anorexia :(
How sadddddddddd!!!

Past & Present

I look back fondly upon those times.
It's sad how some things have been lost since before..
How relationships are merely figments of memories now.

Life changes through the course of it...
But I'm living in my time, loving my life now... still. :)

Living right

Today, I learnt about having the right heart condition -
It's all about pursuing You.

"Eye has not seen nor ear has heard...the good things that God has prepared for those who love Him"

The M.A.N.

Ooooo, I can't wait for tomorrow!! :)
It's gonna be awesome!
Come join us for a great time of celebration all of ye out there :D

Worst exam EVER!

Exam tips: Never stay up through the night when you've a paper the next day (which means never don't sleep at all!)

Today's econs papers were a massive failure.
Very very depressing... :( :( :(


Just had a piece of mooncake to cheer myself up!

So little time, so much to do.

Spent 10 hours, on one chapter of Econs today.
Kinda disheartened. But ahhhh. Less than 4 hours to my papers!
Still have so many more chapters to conquer.

Oh Goddddd.
