Friends

Friends have always had a special place in my heart.
I was just sharing with lips about the girly girlz outing that we had awhile back ago that it felt good. It's like God just pressed a re-start button in our lives and we just had a good time together. It was special to me and I am grateful. Thank you :)


Hi Left Heart :)
How have you been? it's been so long since we last met...But we know that we always have a special place in each others heart too. I miss you, let's not get too busy to meet up okay? And if I forgot to call you, please do call me oki??


How can I forget my BFF? Some say it's best friend forever ha ha ha.....He is my BBF (Best boyfriend)..thinking about it, I'm starting to really really miss him :( 3 more days for him to be back! Sigh, i wonder how ppl can last 1 month/1year separated from each other? Aiyoo..so heart pain....

And when I was just dreaming of the day that I will get married and who will be my 'ah jies' and I thought of all of you who is in this post....will you be my ah jie?? ha ha ha :)

Till then, I'll keep dreaming :P

Rainy Monday

It's been a while since I really wrote something yea....so here goes...Actually I wonder whether anybody reads my blog cos my tagboard is so empty, like I was the only one who tagged and it was like so loooong ago ha ha....TSK...but anyhow.....

i'm seated outside Dome at Singapore arts museum alone drinking a cup of ice cafe latte and nibbling on potato wedges. I was trying to complete my sch work at school when it was getting too chilly for me and decided to migrate to Takashimaya where I was suppose to dye my hair at 6pm. However, the thunderstorm got me stuck and I had to take shelter somewhere. Where???? Alas, I saw DOME next to school and decided that alright....it's not too bad, I might as well just stay here. Ran across the rain and now i'm hibernating at DOME waiting for time to pass before I head down to taka. I shall try to accomplish some work done after blogging my heart out :P

Liwei is out of town, his fmaily and him went to Xia Men and Hong Kong this whole week till Saturday for a short vacation. It feels funny now that he's away, I don't know what kind of feeling is that? Maybe I'm missing his presence. It's been 8 months since we last got together, time passes really quickly when we are having fun ha! Van facebooked "when is your honeymoon?" Well, I'll need to ask my honey! ha ha ha....Everything will be made beautiful in His time right?

okay, I'm going off now...Sigh, my potato wedges is taking a darn long time to come!!!! I'm gonna call for the waitress now and oh my...I just saw my Australian lecturer at dome....gulp! Reminds me that I have not completed his work....

School work...

Sanctuary..

Last night, I was on the phone with lips and we were discussing about how the universe was form in the 'scientist' school of thought. While he was trying to explain to me what went through the scientist mind when it came to the universe and I kept questioning him as I was a firm 'unbeliever' of "The Big Bang" and "Evolution".

And than I begin to think about the worship song..Sanctuary...

....to think that the universe could not withhold your glory....you chose to live in me...

Imagine the God that created the whole universe, the sky, the galaxy, earth and the different planet lives within each of us? Wow!

Here is my heart...make it Your sanctuary...

Happy Birthday Deary!!!!

Dinner with our families at Putien Restaurant, Tampines Mall on 1/11/09

Today is Liwei's actual birthday - 1st of November.

Here with his nephews, niece and grandmother. We celebrated both his birthday and grandmother's bday at Orchid Country Club, Peach Garden Restaurant at Yishun last week.

Today, my family and his family will be having dinner together :)

Exciting!!!

My, time flies and it'll soon be our 8th Month!! :O

The God that heals!

Dad has been pretty down 'cos of his illness. I can understand esp when doctor says there's no cure and it's like a degenerating disease. I pray it'll not spread to the rest of his body....My family have been praying and fasting for him. It's sad to see how my dad who's always been the pillar and strength of the family in a vulnerable state now. Praying, Seeing and Believing for healing upon his life!!!

And really, sometimes I don't really know how to react whenever I see him in this state. I wanna be happy and strong for him. Happy and strong for mum, cos she's really the one that is most affected. You know it's not the children who will be affected the most, it's always the next of kin....the love of your life....your soul mate that will feel the most and that's why sis and I have been standing strong for her too.

okay, on a happier note...

Lips and I went to Raffles Marina and we cought the sunset. It was beautiful! :)

Happy 7th Month

Happy 7th Month and 3 days! hees..

thank you for the 7th flower, really very sweet of you!

And he got me something different, sunflowers this time round.

Really nice to receive this surprise at my door step esp when I have to stay home and complete my work.

:)

having sleep is a blessing!

Last night I had trouble sleeping, stiff neck and shoulder ache. Sometimes that's one of the trouble with working with young children 'cos carrying them can have side effects. I really need to be careful and watch out tsk tsk...I've been busy trying to complete my sch work and lesson plans and Parent-Teacher Conference next week!

The greatest satisfaction about being a child-care teacher with kids that are 2yr olds is that you see them progress quickly in their social development and their self-help skills. To them metamorphasize :)

Other than that, i had some pressing issues that went through my mind bout relationship. After all, I'm really a newbie. It's my first relationship, it's his first too. Sometimes i have questions that only the experience can answer, maybe i need to start reading books!!! ha ha ha....like "his needs, her needs" or...."how to be a better girlfriend?" or....."relationship 101" ha ha ha....But i know that the reason why it's so pressing it's cos I hope and always pray for things to be better and better everyday. A place of agreement, is a place of power. :)

I think i've been stress so cannot sleep properly again hahaha...last night, to really fall asleep....I had to meditate (hummmm....hummm....hummmm....) ha ha.. i had to meditate in the spirit, pray in tongues...and than i fell asleep. Thank God :) Having a good sleep is a blessing!

Recently, my dad hasn't been well. My family have been taking turns to fast for him everyday. Details to be shared personally, yah lan came down to visit him. My family have been spending more time together, people around me have been rather concern, my family only hopes and prays for the best. And that he will be healed! Yes he will :)

Alrighty, gotto go now....see ya'll

bffs...

boyfriend? or best friends forever?

Liwei and I were having a chat one day and we came to the topic of friends. I was asking him whether is it true that people would think that once a person gets attached, they have less time for their friends? or we get disconnected from people? or people don't wanna disturb us cos we are attached? He said that in a way it's true that's why extra effort has to be made to meet up with friends and make them feel that they are not left out in a way.

I am very thankful for him 'cos he's someone who would think for people more than I do sometimes, he's more sensitive towards people than i do sometimes too. He's more giving of his time and his finances and he is always willing to go an extra mile for people. While I think of resting early 'cos of work the next day, he is willing to spend time with his friend in the wee hours. He thinks for my family, recently my dad hasn't been very well, he would come down after his work to visit my dad, spend time with them and also pray with me for my family. He is a thoughtful man :)
Recently there has been a few squabbles here and there due to lack of communication, some differences that we shared, he sat us down and really talk things out. I always tell people that he's different from other guys 'cos while an average word bank for a guy is 15,000, his is 30,000 which is a blessing to me especially when my love language is words of affirmation and when an average woman's word bank is 30,000, i think mine is only 15,000 :)
While I'm not so generous with my praises sometimes, he is a man who often encourages and never fail to assure me of his love towards me. He is a gentleman, in every aspect of the word. Gentle in his words, gentle when he holds me, patient with my weaknesses and when I'm really stress at work, he's patient to listen to me and knows how to build me up and make me happy :) He reminds us to love the word of God, to build up our own walk with God which is something which I really really appreciate. It's going to be 7 months in 6 days! And still, I am amaze at how we have grown. I am thankful...am grateful to God 'cos I found a BFF in him and if I could sing a song to him..I would sing...'you make me feel...you make me feel...you make me feel like a natural woman' hahahha :)

Yet when I am busy enjoying my 'attached' status ha ha...I think of the people around me, he reminds me to not forget about my friends because they are also as important :)

mE At differen times

Very 'focused' and 'stress' look during near assignment datelines n when workload piles up!



and i WISH upon a star :) Feeling a little more free...Yeah!!!

Breathe!

The whole of last week was quite a week for me.

I was feeling quite normal after receiving all the dates of my assignment datelines on top of work work, but the more I started to think about it and as I started to do one of my assignment that was due to be handed in yesterday (thank God I managed to complete it), I started to feel very overwhelm especially as I was doing my assignment, i got stucked a couple of times. On top of that, I caught a Viral infection and it triggered my asthma. Usually, whenever I get asthma it's cos I'm under under stress or have overworked. It was a terrible feeling, to fall sick and yet have all these work to think about.

But God is always good, it's during this time where I took complete rest from LB work, stayed home for 2 days...Begin to just pray and finish up one of my assignment. I also had the time to sort my thoughts out just calm down. You know how it is sometimes we just struggle and say ' but i have to do this, and that, and that...' It's this Martha syndrome..And sometimes we want things to run so smoothly and perfectly, like I don't have to struggle and get frustrated, but God just allow us to go through it so that we learn to let go and rely on Him more...

And so I thank God that eventhough i STILL have all the crazy datelines to meet...but I'm taking one step at a time, slice the cake in bite sizes so it's easier to swallow :)

BLogger's back! Yipee!!!

Yipee..blogger's back to normal!! :P What a love, hate relationship many have with it!

Remember the day that I had to run the show with hsin yi only at LB? We had a good treat of chicken chop!! Yum yum...It's home made food! Well this is part of our school's menu, we get to eat this once, forthnightly.



look at the food man.....it was my mum's bday yesterday and we celebrated her birthday at JU SHIN JUNG Korean Charcoal BBQ at east coast. It's the 2nd time i've been there and i totally love it!! Go there if you must.

okAY, we didn't order all these food, it just comes with the set that we order haha...

I'm totally upset!

Even blogger got Punk'd~!!

Wanna blog a few things recently but 'cos of what happened to blogger, i'm a little stuck. Yikes!

Anyhow..just some things...

One fine Thursday at Little Big, I came to work, went to the kitchen to get a drink and Hsin Yi came in and said 'Daphne, today it's just you and me' :) What a pleasant surprise! Yep 3 teachers down! But it was alright, could manage things pretty okay 'cos there wasn't many children too. The teachers have working pretty hard, it was a well-deserve break for them that day :)

1st Sept was teacher's day and the city college family had a luncheon at YUM CHA at china town, it was a great get together for everyone, really miss the ppl back in CHEC. Little Big had a memorable time working there....Remembered all the plowing season for all of us :)

I have tons of assignments to submit soon, 1 every week, starting from this week all the way to November, and this excludes my final THESIS of 6000 words. Yikes! Today, I woke up feeling totally tired and exhausted 'cos I haven't been having a good sleep, think the workload have been interrupting my sleep too. Is that what you call stress? haha..I went to work like zombie and caught a flu, so I'm down now...Really praying to get well!!! Cos I can't afford to fall sick at this time!!

Been wanting to do some meet up with friends, really miss hanging out but gotto to hang in there until i've gotten over all these workload.

Alrighty, that's bout it for now....gotto work hard, pray hard and love hard? haha..

:)
