Shows for Thoughts :D

So, I've been watching a lot of movies and shows this past few days. In fact, i've been drama hopping.

Between

Scent of a Woman (Korean)

And...

Misaki No. 1 (Jap)

Good thing both of them aren't really long dramas. Scent of a Woman has 16 episodes while Misaki No. 1 has 10. Thank God! Don't think I can get through long soapy dramas. Been trying to get my cousin to watch the Jap drama. Somehow I find this drama very animated. Its like watching an anime with real life beings.. Haha. But still nice, nothing heavy, light-hearted and funny :) I think the group of 5's really good looking, especially the one with curly hair :D Gonna return to my Korean drama after I'm done with the Jap drama - two more episodes.

Anyways, I watched this really heart-warming movie called Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. It's a movie based on a novel by Lisa See. I think I've read the book before, but can't remember when though. Well, it stars Li Bing Bing, Jun Ji-hyun, Vivian Wu and Hugh Jackman.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan movie

Well, thank you Pepe for the nice recommendations :D Will start on Goong S (maybe) when I'm done with the rest.

Aim: to finish my report by this week...

Baby Titus

My handsome, cute and dashing nephew <3

Man, I wanna hold him and carry him :( He's gonna break many young girls heart when he grows older ;')

Secrets - One Republic (Jayesslee Cover)

Gosh, I really love their voice. And they just keep improving over the years.

How Great is Our God

Awesome song :D

初七

So while my dear friend Shella is sleeping soundly at home, Jolene is at work, working hard (not).

Anyways, discovered a new thing to keep me entertained during work :) - Christianradio.com. I wonder why I've never thought of looking up for an online christian radio before. But thanks to Anne, I did :D

Found this while reading Celine's blog sometime back. I took a snapshot of what she wrote firstly because it brightened my boring afternoon and secondly, it brightens my dull blog...

I SHOULD CHANGE BLOGSKIN! Change it to something brighter yet still simple. Alright, more things I can do to kill time at work :D

Gonna work on my report during my free time at work.

Think i'm gonna keep adding stuff to this post till i have nothing left to add or when adding pictures on blogger starts getting on my nerve. It's so stupid :(

From Carissa's Twitter

Saw this on twitter. I guess I never really thought about worship in this manner before. I think many times we are like that, expecting each experience during worship to be the same as the previous's, but many a times we forget that each experience, each encounter that we have with God may never be the same.

This is from my today's reading:

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all."
1 John 1:5

I'm two more books to finishing the new testament. Old testament would be a great challenge.

Can't wait for dinner with Pepe tonight :) Craving for curry now....

New Year's Blues

It's day 3 of CNY, and this has been my daily routine.

Wake up
Eat
Watch Shows, movie etc.
Eat
Watch more shows, movies etc.
Sleep

My mundane life... And gosh, I really really miss home :'( I miss my family, my cousins and my friends.

Well, at least today's been productive. I've recorded two songs. Will upload the songs some other time... Really love this two songs. I'm not the best singer you can find, but I have to admit, one of the spiritual gifts that God has given me is my gift of music. Well, I'm no master of it, but it's better than nothing right?

Today I've been reminded once again how as Christians we need to be watchful of the way we behave and the things we say, whether if it is Christ-like and ultimately, if it would reflect well upon ourselves. Well, we wouldn't do unto others the things that we don't want to happen unto us... That's my belief.

Ending off with these verses:

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."

1 Peter 5:8-11

Chinese New Year

It's two days to Chinese New Year :D

I found this on Commissioner Lim's blog, it's a good read :)

http://burninginthebones.blogspot.com/2012/01/culture-and-our-faith.html

Yea, Cos there's nothing better to do..

Just read my old posts and gosh, I can't help but to laugh at what I've written. Ahhahahah... *tears in the eyes*

I guess my writing did mature as the years go by. And yea, I've cut down on the number of "....." I use after each sentence and I'm actually trying very hard to use proper english when typing (Give me some credit, i've really been trying since mass comm happened)...

It's gonna be a lonely CNY this year - Julie, Wee Sham and Linda are back in Singapore. Man, I've no new clothes to wear and no angbao to collect this year :( And I won't be spending time with my cousins this year.

Worst of all, I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW!!! :( :(

Mom, keep my angbao for me please *puppy eyes*

Hello

Well I guess this is my first official post for the year. HAHAHAHA...

Not much of a writer (i'm just plain lazy to write ok...) But I'm bored with having nothing much to do, so the next best thing I could do was to type a blog post.

Well, last year's gone pretty fast. I still remember the surprise farewell happened not too long ago, and in a months time or so, I'm flying back to Singapore. heheheh.

I wonder what motivates one to keep updating their blog. Writing is one thing, keeping it interesting and entertaining is another.... Manda, how on earth do you do that?!?!

Ok, nothing's on the mind now. So i guess that's it then.. Erm, till then?




#I'm listening to - Just One Last Dance

How He Loves Us

How He Loves Us

He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.

Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.

So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way

That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

Cause He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

The words to this song are really really beautiful...
