290309

And it finally happened. Multiplication : ).

Feel nostalgic, because i know i’ll miss the great times and fun we have.
Feel happy, because we fought the good fight and made it.
Feel unsure, of the unknown.
Feel excited, because i know greater things are to come.

This was the first time as a CGL, after 7 years..that i felt prompted to wash the feet of my members. It was quite a humbling experience. Quite hard to put words into it..but definitely one i’ll never forget.

I’m grateful and thankful to W415 & W146. I’ve learnt and drawn so much from them. I’m sure i wouldn’t be who i am, if not for each and everyone of them. And especially to W146 for standing by and believing in me, even when the going got tough, they are fighters. Every single one of them. And i’m deeply honored to be part of their lives : ).

This will also be the first time for me as a CGL, that i’ll be receiving a new CG name. Ahhhhh…i struggled a bit when i found out, even though Dy reminded recently she already ‘forewarned’ me about that since we combined CG with W415 hahaa.

Since Day 1 as a leader, W146 had always been with me. Although it’s just a name..but behind it carried many good and memorable experiences. Oh well…when i watched Shopaholic today, one scene showed the father saying: “Nothing defines me, except you and…” I guess it’s true, the CG name might not define what a CG is made of, but the people in it will : ).

In the air of excitement, everybody forgot to take a last group photo together!!! Ahhhh!!!! Hahaha..photos and videos are loaded up in our CG blog!

And here’s my new cg filled with happening, fun, exciting, good looking, creative and godly members! The family of W5??

Introducing the latest F(wan) driver!

Welcoming the latest F(wan) driver!

Many congrats to Char on passing her driving test!!!! Am very proud of her : ). It had definitely not been easy for her especially when both her siblings passed their on 1st attempt. Can you just imagine the pressure she had to face should she break the family tradition – being mocked at by her 2 siblings for the rest of her life! WAHAHAHAHA!!

Tomorrow will mark the multiplication of W146 and W415. Been busy preparing for the meeting tomorrow, hope it’ll leave a memorable and fun memory for everybody. There’s so much to say over my entire journey with these 2 Cgs, but i guess i’ll try to pen down more after the meeting tmr heee. Looking forward for 290309..the birth of greater things!

Awaiting

Took a bus down to Millenia Tower today. Waited for almost 20mins for the bus to come and it took a hideous 1 1/2hr long!!! The ride home was just as long!!! Another long wait..i was just glad i didn’t need to use the toilet! Hahahh

I did enjoy walking back home from the bus stop, listening to my iPod, chatting with God, waiting on Him. Been a long time since i last did that haha. I enjoy doing it at times.

Went for an interview today..the interviewer said he’ll get the HR Dept to contact me. Another round of waiting.

For someone who dislikes waiting a lot…
Now i am awaiting.

Departures

It’s interesting how the day turned out to be quite fun after all : ).

Thanks to Dy, i’ll be going for an interview tmr..which she seems more excited over. Hahah…don’t really know what to feel yet, perhaps it’s been quite a long while since my last interview. Will my butterflies be revisiting my stomach soon?? I hope i’ll leave a good and lasting impression. Dear God, grant me wisdom and favor!!

It was also a nice time catching up with her, over a simple dinner (ok not so simple..more like feasting! hahaa) and movie. Nice to just be able to be myself, share thoughts, talk nonsense, don’t talk and not feel uncomfortable about the silence, fall asleep (oh gosh..CPTSP! hahah!), laugh at ourselves, etc..

Departures was the 2nd movie i did not fall asleep throughout! Muah. Ha. Ha! It’s another good movie to watch…that makes you feel all the 4 emotions..xi mu ai ler!! It also makes me miss Japan..i hope to revisit it soon : ).

Gonna start my fast soon…join me in my feasting these next few days ok!

Is this really me?

Out of boredom, decided to try this quiz Char posted in her blog.
Is this really me? Hahah some are quite true though especially the one on my job!! Hahaha

The quiz: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
The result: See below

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don’t like conflict. Because you’re so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren’t interested in wasting time with people you don’t really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don’t focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

But i always find it funny..that how a quiz tries to read a person by choosing between a door vs a ring? a bear vs a wizard? This reminds me of another quiz a new friend recently asked me..something to do with strawberries, fence and farm?? Hahhaha my members will know what i’m talking about!!

Quite hilarious ya..to let such things decide who you are.
For me, i guess knowing who i am in God matters most : ).

Yang has POP-ped

Yang has POP-ped yesterday! Woke up at 545am to travel down to Tanah Merah to Changi Navy Base..feeling zzz all the way but it was worth it! He said he’s a half Sergeant now? Was very proud of him..to see him standing right in the middle of the parade and leading the whole platoon as the timer – going “lurp lurp lurp right lurp” hahaha! He’s so small in size compared to his other camp mates! Small BUT powerful : ).

Also finally got to watch Slumdog Millionaire! It was really a very good movie. And…i DID NOT FALL ASLEEP through the entire movie! Hahaha! Sue found a cure for me…she told me to sleep during the advertisements (which i really did! coz i was really quite tired), and she woke me up when the show started! Hahahah

Watching the movie..can’t help to be reminded of how much a soul means to God. Perhaps especially after listening to the sermon preached by Pst. Paul earlier on. When the lead actor kept on searching for the lead actress, found her then lost her then found her then lost her then found her…he never gave up. Made me understand how important each person is in the eyes of God.

Wah so spiritually ah hahaha. But i really love the storyline, how real the movie was..so heart tugging, the cinematography, the cute little boy as young Jamal, and of coz..how can we not love the dance at the end of the movie! hahaah nice..i like : ).

Hollywood days

Feeling very thankful towards God recently..was just reflecting back how things can really change in a short matter of time. I’m really happy with how things are beginning to settle…and can’t wait for what’s ahead in the next 10 months! And can’t wait to put down more ticks in my prayer book too!

Was talking to my friends today, and they were asking which movie touched or moved them most. I feel sad suddenly..because i realized i couldn’t really recall many, and i guess that’s because of the fact i often fall asleep watching movies!!! This further emphasize my desire to stay awake in movies from now on!! Hahhaaha

I really hope to catch Slumdog Millionaire before it ends..can someone please go watch it with me soon!!!!

Went to fellowship with some of my members..was asking them what do poly students do nowadays during their free time? One member replied with such a sincere straight face…”We eat lor” Hahahaha!!!! So cute you know haha..she thought i was referring to their break time during their school! *Faintz*!! Hahaha

Today, i took a trip back to our old Hollywood theatre building. Brought back many fond memories..how i got saved there, got baptized in the HS there, was given bible study there, queuing up under the hot sun, eating the $2 ban mian and duck rice, growing up as a member there, etc. It felt weird staring at it and to find Seng Siong Supermarket in its place instead. But oh well..we grow from glory to glory : ).

What Pastor said is very true. We all go through valleys, but we will not stay there forever. There will come a time when your light will come!

This side of me

This had been quite an eventful week..met up with different groups of friends for gatherings/fellowships, gave 5 bible studies!, closed a case, fasted, 1st time visit to Mint Toy Museum, visited a career fair, watched 2 movies and managed to stay awake throughout for an entire one! hahaha breakthrough ah..

Had writer’s block..feel stuck trying to write some new songs, got so bored with trying to piece the bits together. But Nicole wrote a nice song, a little emo though hahhah we recorded it today…so here goes…

This Side of Me
Swirling reality
Smudges to a blur
Ringlets of gold i twirl around my mind
It’s sure
My heart is choked by the silence
I can’t hear myself
Unmute the quiet
Let the air come in
Fill this void within

So hold me tight
But let me go
To give a fight
That i’ll do so
You say to me
The best i’ll be
You’ll get to see
This side of me

She’s such a word whizz…i’m still figuring out what goes around in this little mind of hers.

“Mind”field

This had been an emotional week. Not “emo”-emotional, but realizing and being more aware of why i feel the way i do. I was surprised by myself on a few occasions in different times on how i felt…

– Once when i thought i had let go? Yet i became stuck when i had to actually face it. Pro 17:9 says “Love forgets mistakes..”, could it be because there’s no more love left? Or new love needs to be filled once again??
– Once when i felt small and inadequate facing the world? Yet could it be the same reason that’ll propel my dependency on God and inspirations for more perspectives? I like how Corrine May’s song put it..little superhero girl. That when i’m small, i have my secret weapon – faith!
– Once when fear creeped in when i experienced overwhelming love? Could it be due to past hurts, that will now make me respond in a different light. Will it fade, or will it alter the who i am from now on??

You must be wondering what i’m talking about hahaa…i’m not emo-ing really, but i guess usually i’ll just brush it aside and think that it’s just the way it is? But this week..i’ll ask myself How? Why? What?…hmm….

I’ve also decided to try my best NOT to fall asleep when watching a movie from now on!!! Hahah my mbms will be happy : ). Because i’ve learnt that a movie can invoke diff emotions through various tools? And that it can help me be more aware of my emotions too. WOw..i usually fall asleep because i feel it’s so relaxing in the cinema…but now..will watching a movie become a “mind”field??! Hahha..will i feel even more tired now after watching movies since i’ll have to stimulate my mind even more?!!
