miss these nice angsana, flame of the forest trees,
Huge, quiet, majestic and unassuming. Tolerant and generous of the life growing and dependants,
but yet strong enough to even break down the concrete pavement.

I wanna be like one of these trees also. Looks beautiful and unassuming, generous but yet strong in character also.

Great weekend.

great party at chinaone last sat.. rachel's presence really make things a lot better when she came though =) Reach home at 6am just as my dad is getting ready to leave for work.. much to his anger.. the rest of the family are so worried history would repeat itself they didnt sleep either.. received msg at 1plus am.. phone calls at 2 am plus. phone calls at 5 am plus again also.

great worship service on sun. Loads to catch up with God and loads of things to seek forgiveness for. But thank God for his mercy and love. Now time, to get back on track. To fill my mind with His words and spirit and not the things of the world. To speak words that edify other's spirit and not just worldly encouragement.

Not by my strength but His strength. In my weakness may His glory be seen.

Female superficiality or Wealth is just a byproduct

More than a couple of times, we see a beautiful lady with a man with at best, average looks, but is rich, the usual statement is that the lady is after the guy's money. Afterall, what else can there be if the guy has no looks?

On the flip side, sometimes the fellow is rich cos of their ability, confidence and hard work. And with talents and confidence, they can get to where they are financially. (I'm not talking about folks who are rich cos they inherit things from parents) To cut the long crap short, they can possibly attract the beautiful girls cos they are confident, smart and possibly know how to treat a girl decent. And they are rich simply cos of those same qualities..

Sloppy

okay.. i can't stand guys who don't even have the decency to comb their hair!

Saw a guy this morning whose hair looked like he just woke up (and it's not a deliberate ruffled style)..

MY theory is how much does a guy need to do to at least look presentable?

1) Make up ? NOpe
2) Clothes? What choice do they have for office wear???? Simple if you just want to look neat and presentable, no need flashy.
3) shoes ? (they all look the same to me *yawn* )
4) bags? Okay this one is tricky, at office they still carry the bag they carry in uni or poly.. sux..
5) that leaves with hair only.. save for skin and body built which takes time to build up.. they only have hair to do up properly cos clothes and shoes and bags are easy.... but yet.. there are still lazy bums who don't bother to even spend 30 secs to comb their hair.. DUH!

If only everyone is like mr smart dressed in mrt. Hair styled check, facial hair trimed and designed, check. nice clothes and unique shoes? check. Agnes B bag. Check.

not to say that there should be an over focus on appearance, but you really got to look like you care or give a damn.. cos the body is yours , u dont take care, who can?

Compare that to a normal lady (one who bother) morning routine.

1) Toner, moisturiser
2) wait 10 min for skin to absorb
3) Make up( eye shadow, mascara blah, foundation, powerder, blusher etc)
4) choose clothes (simple? dressy? classy? flashy? sexy? professional?)
5) Find a bag to go with clothes ( can't clash in design and colour)
6) Choose jewelllery.. (and make sure they match, not clashing design)
7) style your hair
8) choose a shoe tat match too..

now tell me, is it so hard for a guy to at least comb his bloody hair!

ahhhH!!

God, i need to take care of my health, help me watch my words and my heart and take the anger and negativity out from me..

Rushed assignment till 2 am on sat and yest... think need to stay clear of pc these 2 days.. waste too much electricity plus need to get out from sitting on my butt.. though i a bit tak boleh tahan went jogging.. got target to reach.. think i gain weight liao.. must lose back plus for the sake of my rocket high cholesterol and... all the weddings that i'll be attending next year..

________________________________________________________________-

Grading is coming, cannot rest.. need to practise harder... got higher expectations..


________________________________________________________________

shiok.. 10 to 4 old testament survey. going to the torah class, 5 - 6:30 after that.. book of numbers.. i'll be thinking like an ancietn israeli in no time :p

then and now

finally finish the BPR course!! but there are 2 difficult assignments to do... actually it's all doable if you appraoch like a school assignment project... but everybody in the course is a professional, and so are their damn reports.. fit for a management's reading manz... so the benchmark just shot up.. sigh..

came across old photos..can'thelp but do a comparision of me then and me now..wahahha

Lament

okay, lamenting session... cant help it..gotta lament one way or another, some time or another.. better here than bore someone face to face with it.

no surprise, but tired of being busy (half of it is cos of tkd although i usually enjoyed training and classes). if i didnt' cancel my appointment yest with mike, my week will look like that.
Mon training, tues training, wed mike, thurs discipling course, fri cell or class, sat OTS course then housewarming then mid autumn celebration..

surpisingly i'm quite looking fwd to the 2 course.. esp the OTS one, been waiting half a year for it.. the discipling one i signed up without hesistating dunno y.

Have anyone felt alone despite being around ppl and socialising all the time? This feeling seems to be getting quite acute recently. I feel alone, not lonely but alone despite being with ppl all the time. people that you thought u click with suddenly felt like a different frequency altogether now..Feels tiring to keep reaching out all the time but yet, if i dont' i feel guilty for not doing so. After my grading, i should take a one whole week off appointments including training and probably take a few days off work.. sounds good to me..

2 Things to be happy about =)

yeah.. got a belated birthday gift from VF. Johnny depp illustrated biography! =D=D=D .. yummy .. something unexpected


Any i got my hard disc finallY!! after delaying a few months cos no budget!! might not be the best performing one, but i feel it's gorgeous, my fave colour.. =) i can finally store wat ever i want how ever i want.. yeah!



Legs hurting from training, stil not happy with my own standard.. but not much mroe time to spare..

oct busy with church, on course on thurs night and sat 10 to 4.. cell changing to fri, which is very tight for me cos weekday is already exhasutingly busy for me liao.. =(

Burnout...

"everyday it's You i live for, everyday , i'll follow after You"
don't burnt out , burn on for God.

it's good to be back in the house of the Lord... took this time to come before God to renew my spirit , ask for forgiveness, and try to get back to the routine. His forgivenss and love is sweet.. and there's no other place i want to be but in the house of the Lord.

Sermon is so ept for everyone, but i feel its really the right timing for me . really 2 busy, but also duno how to cut down my activities..how to put god first in the busyness... need Godto help me with it..

bt timah and bday pressies

ate so much on friday with cell bday celebration siah .. thankfully went bt timah early this morning hike for 3 hours to walk everything off (at least i hope :p ) see a lot of nice creatures.. most beautiful is this purple butterfly and also this bird with this long tail.. looks black, but oly under sunlight u can see glimpse of metallic blue.. unfortunately didnt' get to take pics of these 2.. cos i only got my lousy 2mp hp camera haha ..
love towering trees =D

Thanks everyone again!

Birthday weekend..

Ah woke up completely forgotten that I need to go work today, thankfully my mum n sis gave me morning call. Tues blue!

Birthday weekend! And thankfully got long holiday, don’t need to take leave wahaha… Went with sheri the previous week to celebrate her birthday at the Turkish restaurant Alaturka. Fantastic food, great company and great ambience =)

Current colleagues are so sweet to take the effort to brain storm pressies for me and took the effort to jio for lunch for my bday.. and they got the gifts I really liked =) maybe should post some pics soon.. first batch of wishes that I find a partner soon.

Got a surprise call at midnight from a friend to start the great day, was nice of him to call and be the first to wish for the day.

Lunch with aijia, whose birthday is 2 days apart from mine also, her mum treated us for the lunch at nydc.. and again the wishes for this year that we find our partner soon. Ah dui!

Tea “party” at Tea chapter, drank the whole afternoon of tea with my ex colleagues, be guai a bit and drink something healthy, detox =P but so paiseh cos I forget to get a gift for Kean and charmayne whose birthday is in Aug.. stupid me.

Then night was Villa Bali with Rachel, martin and nicky, so sweet of them to celebrate my bday even though we just knew each other.. lurv and miss that place manz.. i really "guai" can, only drink mango juice and 1 burbon coke(yah it's ONLY Burbon coke, not long island!) went to nicky’s place to eat the cake she baked and pretended it’s a birthday cake for me hahaha.. the lassi tea or Indian tea she made is really nice even though I don’t’ typically drink tea..

Sun was helping my sis move house.. so sad.. 1 less to crap to when I go home.. liao. Then it was steamboat at her place for dinner.. then while I was “sparring” with my bro in law halfway, they sprang on me the surprise cake.. And here goes the birthday wish of hope I find my partner soon thingy also

Monday, the day of cleaning up after the exodus, and helping my mum to clear up and reorganize the house.. w/o my sis, got more house work to do liao.. *yawns* Then tkd seminar at night, spinning hook kick, 360 kick.. gosh! Fun!! But difficult!

Am I?

pouring out on my sis yest. felt a lot better now.. .. though my cell mates are really great with me about it. but told her i feel stuck but if i share with my christian friends, might not be a good incident to be frank about.. share with non christian outside friends, they will think it's no big deal in the first place.. she so funny, say best share with her " half christian-half wild person" haha. which is true..

she didn't berate me nor immediately go judgemental on me.. she didnt go at length at how bad it is, not because she didn't think there was anything wrong, but she knows i already know it's not right and beating myself up over it. but learn the lesson and get it over..

she said maybe it's not just i didn't had dinner.. but usually ppl get drunk more easily when they are in a lousy mood or nt happy..

now am i?

_______________________

Monday's bags was fun.. really pushed to the limit.. which is great!! conditioning was hilarious and tiring at the same time.. i'm so glad mr rivas is back at the helm of things for these 2 classes =D ^_^

one of the move is us doing a 'burpee" but after landing in the push up positon, we gotta squat into a low squat horse stance.. after doing it which push the hell out of us he sheepishly said he got the idea from kung fu panda.. hahahhahh!!! *flips*

应该乖了

seriously.. i'm going to swear off clubbing for the rest of the year.. and i would try not to touch alcohol at all till end of the year.. God is so going to kill me.. the trouble i land myself into gets bigger and bigger.. 是时候检点一点，乖一点了。

Beautiful date to get hitched and hence was so happy for Jade! Congrats girl!!! They looked and sound good together and I know they are really each other’s good friend and partner =) So happy to hear good news.. then on her lunch, lin hui’s colleague was sharing how him and his partner managed to survive a 3 year LDR and now they have been together for 5 years.. then read on Alvin’s blog and his touching entry on an expression of love for Amanda.. so sweet! *Cries, takes out tissue paper* =D

Went home to sleep for 20 mins and after that went joo chiat with mum and sis to pick up her curtains.. but me was so late my sis picked up already.. so just had the mee-goreng which is unfortunately not available. Sigh!! Went to their night market and curtain shopping.. so nice the curtains!! Malays had beautiful taste when it comes to decorating their homes manz! So hot I bought a batik fan :P

Sigh.. dont' wish to think too much about my sis moving out.. impact of it havent' sink in yet.. my best friend is moving out.... ..

me pretending to be a 公主after my sis said all the curtains made the whole place looked like palace wahahhaa ..



After that was excellent also manz.. met up with Rachel (which is superb) and know her friend Nicky.. both of them are really fun folks to hang out with.. very open and easy going.. had a great party at Dbl O ladies night! hehe.. Twice in a row someone in the group mentioned that I’m the first Singaporean they meet that work hard and party hard.. haha.. once was by Nicky (who is a brit) and by Crystal( I think) a Philippino girl.. either just too bad they have boring Singaporeans around them or Singaporeans are really boring! I think it’s just the former, at least I hope so :p

Not Good

My mood is so tied to my training nowadays, and that is so not good.. now for the whole night and morning my mood is screwed because Mr Rivas aint teaching the bags anymore and the class is so not satisfying.... damnz

Found a school that teaches both kapap and BJJ.. i so wanna try both.. it'll be such a good complementary to my tkd training.. but so expensive.. 20/h.. 2 classes on sat.. that'll be 160 a month.. that means i'll be spending 300 bucks a month on just martial arts training.. hmm maybe i should tolerate and wait till i get my black belt in tkd first.. 1 more year.. aiseh aiseh.. jiayou.. i see a glimpse of the goal liao..
