Roadtrip!

In about 15mins time, i’m about to set off to my roadtrip to Malacca with MAD (Mum And Dad), Char and a few friends! Been the looooongest time i last visited it, and will definitely be looking to some good feasting of “lok-lok”, chendol, bak ku teh, chicken rice ball and MORE! Oh mans..my conscience just pricked me and said are you sure??? Hahahha oh well, dieting will start when i’m back!!!

I just gotta write this down before i forget again. Was out at BluJaz celebrating Char’s bday..she was sitting beside me with this furry cushion. So suddenly, i felt a movement on my thight..but thinking it was her cushion rubbing against me…i din bother. After a while, i looked down..and to my HORROR!!!! I saw a pale white tail-less lizard on my lap!!!!!!! Argghhhh ultimate gross!!!!! Without even thinking, i fling my hand and brushed it onto the floor….my hair was standing and Nicolas din even wanna kill it for me..he said: Use what to kill?? I was like…i don’t care!! Just kill it!!! Hahha all lizards MUST die!!!!!!!

And i learned something interesting recently…do you know that this sentence: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is used to teach people how to type? Because it contains all of the 26 alphabets, quite amazing ya!

Yesterday while going home after fellowshipping with my dear CG (since the looongest time as well! So happy to spend time with them : ))..our dear Jodie was so funny. I was pointing to the 2nd floor as we drove past Taka that there’s Angus house (a steakhouse)..then after a few seconds pause, she said: Who stay there? Char n I turned immediately to each other and burst out laughing!! Hahhahhah well i guess Angus the cow stays there ; ).

Can you please pray for me? That i will not overeat in Malacca??? Very scary i’ll come back with a new lump of fat. Oh God, have mercy. Hahah!

Sheng Re Kuai Le

Seems like just yesterday when i last celebrated my B-day..and here it comes again.

I feel so blessed this year. More than just the presents i’ve received..feel so blessed to be surrounded with many family and friends who love me : )). Well..probably coz my love language is gift giving, so maybe i feel so loved. Hahhaha

My Ramadan month of celebration begins with..
Friday – Dinner with family! Got some angbaos and a pretty cute prezzie fm Char

Sat – Went out with Dy, Sue, Rou, Siew and Samuel Ang!! Hahha what a weird combi can?!! And to watch my 1st horror movie in like 10+ years!!! So cheated by Samuel ANG KU KUEH!! Got a special happy box for siew! Hahha so cute

Sun – CG gave such a lovely surprise, together with my old cgs : )). More vouchers & presents & pocky hamper!!! Hahhaa…followed by drinks with siew & her sis..then dinner with zone leaders – steamboat!!! Tnx for all of your generous love offering and perfume!

Mon – Took a break from work, went JB with Char, Jo and Sue. Feels so good to “nua” after so long! Hahha..dinner with ex-CL zone, who got me an iTouch!!! Wow..so excited to use it! Hahha but still struggling to learn how to use all the applications!

Wed - Met Dajie for lunch during work..and got prezzie from her too, and yes! I promise to use it ok Dajie!! Hahahha…my office gave vouchers too!

With a few more meals to attend..i’m so scared i’ll go past the point of no return of being fat!!! Today Dajie already said i put on weight!!!! Oh Lord, helppp!!!

I am indeed a blessed child of God : ).

My memory’s still working fine!

Wow! Just soaking in the goodness of God : ).

Really wanna thank God for His protection upon my life in Citi so far. By His grace, i was awarded the top IS award in Citiblue platform for Oct mth. Humbled how God will use someone so ordinary : ).
What’s more exciting is, my banker said she don’t mind going church with me to “see see look look”..hahah so 2 of the bankers be going service next week! Hope they’ll be blessed!

Here’s a photo of Dy in hospital when she had food poisoning last week. She’s so gonna kill me for it! Hahhahaah but who cares! Hahhahhaah

And this, is Mabel Tan! She was the one who brought me to church, i guess i’m her fruit hahha..and if not for her persistency, my life might have turn out very differently. I’m very very happy for her to see her all grown up and starting a family of her own!

You know, i was frighten for a while. Because since yesterday till today..many people have wished me happy birthday on FB or sms. So for a moment, i thought chiam liao..is my memory really failing??  Thought i forgot about my birthday!! I even sms-ed Dy to ask her! Hahah..it’s tomorrow ya?!! Hahah it’s tomorrow!! I’m ok, my memory’s still working fine! Hahha

New age

It’s been a long and busy week for me.
And suddenly feel that i should blog more often recently, dunno why..but i think i’ll try to do it at least once a week now.

2 of my good friends fell sick..so this week was kinda being like an ambulance haha..brought Siew to see a doctor coz she was down with gastric flu, then Dy was down with food poisoning and had to be hospitalized! Both of them gave me a fright..but glad that they’re back in good health once again.

Meanwhile, was busy taking care of the 2 boys who stayed over at my place till Thurs..it was fun having them around even though had to wake up early to send them to school and all! For instance, we were having dinner..and telling Didi that he’s such a new age sensitive guy…then Didi gave a very puzzled look to us, and said: “I’m not new age, i’m already 12!” hahahha so cute!! And he sure can cook a good soup for us!! Yummy!

I’ve already block up my compliance leave in Dec…woohoo! Can’t wait for it to come, regardless travelling or not…i’m happy to take a break from work! Hahah Dec please come sooooon!!

Hallow’nland Party is gonna happen in 1 week’s time!! What should i wear?!?! Heeelp!!

Babysit time!

This post is dedicated to Lynn Choo. Haha i know you’re out there! ; p

Had a great cgm earlier in the day..was personally ministered in the presence of God. And it’s important, especially sometimes when ministering to people is our ministry.

Looking at the upcoming Jan 2010 Korea trip video in church announcement, brought back many memories of my trip in Jan this year. It was indeed a good trip for me. Where breakthroughs came and experiencing  new things after coming back from the trip. A visit to prayer mountain is a must! And don’t just visit it..grab the chance to pray in the ghetto! Your life will never be the same, it’s true! Go for it if you can!

Am so looking forward for my compliance block leave..planning to take it during Christmas period..hahahha my members will know why i’m so happy! Oh how i wish i can fly again..soon!!! But for now, be focus Sharon Wan!

This week, i’m gonna be on a mummy mission once again. My parents and aunt/uncle went for a holiday. I guess they’re in their semi-retirement mood now, and i’m happy to see them enjoying life. They’ve earn it! So it’s up to Char and myself to babysit the 2 boys. Back to my-making breakfast/sending them to school/checking on their homework-days!

Hahah i do look forward spending some time with the boys..been quite long since i last fellowship with them. Oh gosh..but the thought of waking up so early is scary..it’s like another week of morn pm!!!!

There was 1 afternoon i went to NUS to look for Char for lunch, since i just ended an appt. And i was telling her, nowadays it seems this is the only way i get to spend more time with our family hahaha..although we share the same room, but it’s like..when i wake up for work, she’s still sleeping..and when i’m back from work, she’s already asleep!!! What the…hahha

Weekends are so precious now..and with a blink of an eye, it’s Sunday night again..and tomorrow is back to work. Oh! I’m so excited to go back to work! Oh! Can’t wait for Monday to come!! ….-_- who am i kidding. hahhahha

Goodnight world and the people whom i love : )

Fire!!!!!

I just gotta write this down before it slips my mind again!

Almost forgot to write how in my trip to Korea..since we arrived in the wee morning, we couldn’t check in. So we decided to go to a sauna to sleep and shower. It was quite an experience so to speak! 1stly, there were many people already sleeping in the common area. So we found a corner, with each given this hard rattan pillow, we soon fell asleep. When i woke up, i decided to wake dy up and ask her go shower 1st. SO..we proceeded to the bathrooms. Lo and behold!! It was a public bath!! Totally open concept!!! And all the women were walking around naked oblivious to the fact that they are naked!! Bo bian..we each found a corner, and i took one of my quickest bath ever!! And yes..that was where i lost my first…public bath. Hahahha this, i believe, will be hard for me to forget!

And the other day, went to Seletar Camp there to try out the infamous spicy chicken wings. The spiciness range from Level 1 to 10 in the menu, but you can ask for underground level 11 to 30! My friends who had tried level 13 before, went for level 20. I decided to go for level…dang dang dang dan…THREE! hahaha. After eating one, i felt like my mouth was on fire! And it was only level 3. When my friends ate level 20, their tears and mucus just started to flow without control hahaha. I tried a mouthful of level 20 and felt like my tongue dropped!! It was on FIRE!!!! It was sooooo hot i couldn’t taste anything else after that!! And i kept LS-ing the next 2 days..it is indeed potent. Beware, if you dare try it yourself! It was a nice place though : ). This, i believe, will be hard for me to forget too!

Refresh

Just back from my zone adults retreat “Refresh”!
It was a refreshing time, not to say a new experience as well!

It’s my 1st time participating in a “camp” haha..filled with adults. Usually, we are the ones  planning and organizing the camp with games, sessions, etc. But this time round, besides being station master for 1 event..the rest was for us to enjoy! I was most blessed by Pst’s word in the 2 sessions..amazingly, the presence of God was very tangible. Felt God so close in our midst. I was also blessed by the time of fellowship with the other leaders who were there..getting lost while driving back from supper was fun! hahaa

In 1 of the session, Pst shared on waiting on God.
Withstand = don’t run in the face of your circumstance
Anticipate = expect positive results 
Intercede = pray 
Trust = in God

So..i need to learn to wait on God. Like what Pst said, I am standing exactly where God wants me to be now, even if i don’t understand it yet.

Well, now that i’m back from my “shortest” holiday..back to reality tomorrow…-_- hahah
But am looking forward to my cg outing this sunday! Probably picnic at barrage? Can someone tell me where can we buy a kite???! Hhahaha

Privileges

Finally get to have some time to pen down my thoughts for the past 2 weeks..felt pretty long since i wrote.

It’s been 2 weeks since i started work at branch. Indeed, many new things i’ve to learn and adapt too. No matter how prepared or ready i was, the learning curve has been overwhelming. Nowadays, having lunch at 3/4plus is a norm. Knocking off work at 8plus is considered a privilege. Swarmed by the no. of seminars i’ve to attend after work.  There’s much i can list..yet i guess, God is on my side and i just need to stay positive, work hard, and do my best. Hope to be able to share breakthroughs soon : ).

My Korea/HK trip was fun! Felt so long ago already hahah..when it was only like 2 weeks back. It was the 1st time i had to pay for excess baggage!! Mine exceeded by 3kg, sue by 1kg..and the winner..dy by a whopping 11kg! hahaha it was the 1st time i bought so many things back too..probably my buyer (dy) was with me. FYI, when we go shopping..usually she’s the one who will select clothes for me to try and buy hahah hence, i seldom shop!

But it was a great trip..enjoying the 3 great Fs..fun fellowship and foooood!!! Photos be up in FB.

Nowadays, i realize i guard my private space more..perhaps because i have less time. I wish for more time with my family, my members, my friends..but well, there’s a time to play and a time to work as well.

Today, would be a privilege day i get to be home earlier..gotta prepare for my 1st solo appt tmr…dear God, i pray for grace and mercy!! Let it be good and smooth!!

Crunch!

Your mind can store libraries of info throughout your life, which you can access through your memory in a couple of seconds. You have all the intelligence and mental resources you will ever need to deal with crunch you ever face.

Yes you are Sharon Wan!

And just look at how much my little niece has grown..hahaha little pouty Amanda, so so so adorable…love her to bits!!

Be flying soon..pray that i’ll come back ready for the battle ahead, stronger and refresh! And doesn’t hurt if i can come back with a mighty harvest of clothes and shoes and bags and cosmetics and..hehehe : ). Till then, take care y’all!

Counting down…

Whoever is careless with the truth in small things, cannot be trusted with important things – Albert Einstein

It’s not how far you fall but how high you bounce back – Lee Lacocca

Circumstances do not make the man; they merely reveal him to himself – Epictetus

He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions – Benjamin Disraeli

When you pray for patience..does God gives you patience, or the opportunity to be patient?
When you pray for courage..does God gives you courage, or the opportunity to be courageous? – Evan Almighty

I’ve been storing them in my hp for the longest time..suddenly remembered about it. Just my food for thoughts.

Everyday as i count down to my trip, also means me counting down to the day i step into the branch. Talk about mix feeling. And i’m beginning to discover why Citi never sleeps…it really don’t.
