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... :)

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 :))
