Last week of January 2010

Hi hi :)
today's the last day of January 2010! the first month of 2010 has passed! how did yours went?
on a side-note, i finally received the CD i ordered! haha. with a little note :p like her voice. Send off and welcomed back my cousins on the same day. haha! one was excited to head off to NYC and the other was having serious jet-lag. haha!

attended the leaders' meeting on tuesday at church. Ps Tan shared a message that left an impression. (duh?) am glad i went. from slavery to learning responsibilities to gaining freedom. good stuff. :) Plus Jac asked me some things. it's gonna be quite a crucial period in feb. we'll see how things go :)

then had a random dinner meet up with samantha, grace and suat wei! :)

had cg at my place. caught The Blind Side with the cell group. i think the message behind this movie is awesome.
then some of us stay behind to prepare Peien's guest book for her ROM. we were totally all gone! thank God for Mingli the art student! plus the art-sy wei & cheryl. haha! it turned out pretty nice. :)

so, attended their ROM, she looked SO pretty :)

then rushed down to Lot 1 for impresso semi finals for Iris. She didnt get through to the finals but still, i believed it was good experience for her. Proceeded to dinner with all her music school friends. it was like a mobile KTV. haha! they were singing very randomly. thank God i had joelle, else; it would have been a little uncomfy. haha! but they were all nice people. :) would consider them as familiar strangers. haha! =p

i'm feeling a little blanked out. haha! somehow. =p

for this coming week,

Wed - Dinner meet-up with Clarence & AK(maybe)

Thurs - My Brother's graduation ceremony! :)

Sat - a very early reunion dinner at my aunt's place

that's all for now.

in between, i should be making a trip to the salon, then a meet up with the neighbour..

Events pending, baobei KTV+dinner.

that's all i can remember for now.

must make sure i have enough sleep. wouldn't want to fall sick during CNY! =X

adios~ :)

make 2010 count and be the best year yet! :)

and i held back the tears...

i had one of the MOST heart-warming session so far with my dad while on my way home just now. and another time with my mom in the kitchen while we were preparing dinner.

these are little moments i will have to remember and tell to my kids when i get older.

I was sharing some things with my dad, asking for his opinions and comments. He supported what i mentioned and asked me to go ahead as long as i know what i was doing. then he told me (a little para-phrase) "Girl, when i pray, i thank God for blessing me with my two children. Now both of you are big already, i give them back to YOU. Use them as YOU want. I can't instruct them anymore.(meaning something like discipline) i pray YOU'LL guide them as YOU have guided me. I'm not so worried about you (me), i'm more worried for your brother cuz he has been spoilt by your mom since young...."

WOW! i tried SO HARD to hold back the tears. for my dad to tell me that, somewhere deep inside just was SO touched. tears just welled up. I went from 'I know' to just nodding my head so he won't notice. >.<

as for my mom... "while you are still young, go and do it lor. we will just have to watch our spendings and be a little more thrifty."

i love my parents for always giving me space to do my 'nonsense', being very supportive.

i'm just in the very 'gan-dong' mood now.

feeling very blessed.
we'll see where HE leads in this... :)

January, 2010, almost gone!

来至心里的一些话

just finished watching some dramas. in the midst of it, many words started to form.
decided to blog it down.

what is your love style?

i used to have this friend ask me a couple of times, "tabi, how can you take it? not having a special someone by your side?" obviously this friend needs a someone to love.

anyways, i always answer this friend, "well, there are friends and there is family."

I've said this before and i say it again.
I've been blessed to be born in a surrounding where love is never lacking. from my parents and brother, to my grandparents, to my uncles and aunties (who are like my other moms and dads), and my cousins (who are like my other siblings) and not forgetting, my close friends.
I don't have to be reminded that i am loved. i know it. right down to my bones.
I'm kind of always ready to give love. to smile. :)

I would have to say, my friends are or have to be quite independent. like we're not the sticky kind who have to meet ever SO often, but when something happy or sad happens, we know or they know, they can share it with me and i can share it with them. :)

i've been sharing with quite a few people. i think i'm ready for a new phase in life. looking out for a mr right. :) and they're all excited to pray along with me. haha! i used to think.."it'll be nice if a mr right comes along the way", now.. "mr right will come". haha!

anyways, since i'm on the topic of mr right.
things work for me this way,
-If i raised an eyebrow and spotted someone, and found out he's attached already. i stop. (i don't spoil others' relationships.)
-If the someone i spotted tells me they like someone else or am thinking of going after someone else, i stop.
-If a guy and a girl gets together, the guy has to take more initiative (duh? i'm traditional. =p)

one may say i should fight for it and let the best one "win", i say, love can't be forced.
one may say i give up too easily, i say, i don't wanna get hurt.
one may say i am a strong girl, i say, i just wanna protect myself from getting emotionally hurt.

爱
只有简单笔画
却比想象复杂

我在等一个人
在等我的 永恒

告诉我爱不单行别害怕

告诉我爱不单行相信她

-爱不单行,罗志祥-

as i'm growing up, i'm learning more about myself. constantly.

was talking to my CGL about feeling stuck cuz she asked me some stuff. she says "in order to get out and not feel stuck, we have to make decisions and stand by it."

that's what i'm going to do.
look out for more plans. :)
abit messy. bare with me and thanks for reading till here. :)

God bless! :)
niteys
meeting my babes tml :))

week 3 of 2010

it's been a good week :)
met my grandparents and brought them out for dinner with the family.
then met up the besties at ying's place.
we cooked our own meals cuz the house was empty. hehe. =p
celebrated being MYT. something random, just for fun. ying was craving for cakes and the sale lady asked we wanted candles, so we just asked for three. all for fun! =p

talked much. life, work, love, family, friends, faith, gossips. almost everything.

laughed.

laughed harder.

laughed some more. haha!

love them loads. <3

then met my cousin for a 'lil pampering session. hehe. my aunt (her mom) cooked so i had dinner there. yummilicious food! yum!yum! :)

and we had the 1st CG meeting of the year! up in the north! a big deal for me. haha! =p

i felt that it was good. as always.

set the focus.

shared our goals and intentions.

trusting that it will come true. :)

then! Pastor broke news and told us, WE GOT OUR LAND!

the one we've been trusting and praying for. prime location! fantastic facilities! but we can't get full details YET. some signed agreement. will only know more in March.

I believe all of us are REALLY excited. :)

week 1 & 2 of 2010

this was before the year ended. some of us ladies met up before kaili officially and legally changes status. =)

they're SO cute :))

got complimentary tickets to the show and grace called me along. thanks grace! :)

2 weeks over. how's 2010 so far for you? :)

Wheel of Fortune - This is funny

on a side note- how can the two hosts look THE SAME as when i was younger and catching the show every evening on TV!!

which will you be?

this 'topic' has been on my mind for awhile now.

since there's pretty much nothing else to blog about, decided to share about this.

you know how we (christians) often refer to biblical characters when we need to encourage others or sometimes even just ourselves?
have you ever thought what kind of character you will be? will we even make it to the Book of Life? (All are called, but few are choosen.) Will we have a book all to ourselves? a chapter? a paragraph? a line? or even just a name? a word? If we do, what experience will it share? what story will it tell?
Will it be for others to learn from our mistakes? or will it be for others to learn from our experience?
Examples like simon peter, judas, paul, moses, abraham, job, ruth, esther. it must truly be a honor right?

if you knew, my name is also taken from the bible. choosen by one of my godpa whom is a pastor. Tabitha in the bible, also known as Dorcas ( i really really am considering to name my daugther this!haa!) is a kind hearted lady, always helping the poor. she died and was raised from the dead. a story often shared.

hmmmm..........

imagine yourself to already am being a walking bible, reflecting Christ. would you draw people to HIM or the other way round?

food for thought :)

one of my cell group mate commented that she realised i like to answer questions by asking another question. haha! guess that is true? =/

God bless :)

一颗心的距离

范玮琪 - 一颗心的距离
作曲:陈小霞 作词:姚若龙

一双 闪着泪光的眼睛
要多努力才能把雨看成星星
握住我手 但别给我同情
执着的人要从倔强 寻找勇气

好像很近 瞬间又远离
很难实现才叫梦想 才要决心
我们终于一起 来到这里
当我激动不能言语 把我抱紧

我们隔着 一颗心的距离
有笑有哭地去回忆
夏天秋天 纯真蜕变的电影
会是一辈子做不腻的事情

静静隔着 一颗心的距离
交换最真实的情绪
庆幸 太不勇敢的纪念日里
你曾经 给我多重要的鼓励

好像很近 瞬间又远离
很难实现才叫梦想 才要决心
我们终于一起 来到这里
当我激动不能言语 把我抱紧

我们隔着 一颗心的距离
有笑有哭地去回忆
夏天秋天 纯真蜕变的电影
会是一辈子做不腻的事情

静静隔着 一颗心的距离
交换最真实的情绪
庆幸 太不勇敢的纪念日里
你曾经 给我多重要的鼓励

我想说 没有你的声音
像没有歌词的旋律
就算可以 很美很好听
也少了意义上的确定

我们隔着 一颗心的距离
有笑有哭地去回忆
夏天秋天 纯真蜕变的电影
会是一辈子做不腻的事情

静静隔着 一颗心的距离
交换最真实的情绪
庆幸 太不勇敢的纪念日里
你曾经 给我多重要的 鼓励

Haven't Met You Yet

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stop Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
And Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Loose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Timing
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Mmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It Right
And We'll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Mmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get Than I Get

Oh You Know It'll All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

XD

His Glory Appears :)

All my loved ones

-xoxo-
