short prayer
Grant me peace and love in a situation like this. I really feel super mad and ridiculous at this whole thing. It doesn't help with the whole esteem situation as well. So God, help me to love them and give me a peaceful heart, not to think of this thing anymore.
Thank you God.
In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen.

Sweet Memories
http://jeremysng.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/some-things-i-remember-from-the-90s/
Really miss those days hanging around the mama shop to talk to friends, with my favourite snack: Calbee Chilli chips and Pokka Grape Aloe Vera drink. Somethings maybe a hot dog with chilli or pizza bread.
Everything is Beautiful..
Everything is Beautiful - Ray Stevens
I first heard this song when I was in pri 6, love this song particulary because of the first verse :) Anyways, I said I wanted to share about the women's conference that happened last sunday. I think God really put many new thought into my head. I've never thought of how each of us have our own flesh pattern. The new insights she gave to the bible stories which i've heard since young were really refreshing.
She mentioned the one of Abraham and isaac. Abraham "sacrificed" Isaac at the top of the mountain. I'd always thought God wanted to test Abraham and his faith in God. But Pastor jennifer really put me in a new light. She said that in a way Abraham did scarificed Isaac. Isaac was Abraham's flesh, something that Abraham held on dearly to, but on the altar, he sacrificed that flesh to God, giving Him control. I was like, Wow, this was somethigns I've never thought of before.
My favourtie phrase was "God takes our strength and make it our weakness, so that he can take the weakness and make it into His strength." Lovely phrase. Can't remember what story she took it from but I remember she mentioned God breaking the thigh bone of someone, and the thigh bone is the strongest bone in the human body.
Oh one other thing that I've never thought of was how God uses us as intercessors with our prayer. Pastor Jen used the story of Moses praying for his people and God relented as an example. Someone questioned why would God changed his mind. She answered that He didn't. Because He knew the depths of his heart, he told Moses his plan to destroy the people, wanting Him to be an intecessor for his people. I think that God's really Cool man!
Julie, Evelyn, Anne and Linda were amazed at my doodles in the notebook. I doodle with sense ok! It's the only way to keep me awake during her lessons. The sermon syndrome. But in any case, it kept me awake, sort of :)
On another note, here's a picture of my beloved nephew :)
I like how his face lits up when he smile. FYI, he's sleeping.

More Beautiful You
Jonny Diaz
More Beautiful You
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight
Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead
Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are
So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
Note: Wanted to put in the music video, but they've disembled the video. Nice song :)

Valentines' Day
Happy Valentine's Day One and All~~~
It's Forever Alone Day too :D :D :(
Spedning Valentine's Day at work with my love - the computer. Thanks God for my cousin who's also at work. Well, finally (almost) done with my NTU application, just waiting for Uncle Bob, Wai Aung and Miss Chan to reply to me email/message about the appraisal. And now, to move on to the very much messy NUS application.
I'm considering a lady night for the lonely, moi, tonight - Manicure :) But na, the guitar strings will spoil my nails and it would defeat the purpose of the manicure, perhaps a pedicure? But in this winter, who can i show off my toes to.. They're better in the warmth of my socks and shoes. Haha.
Anyways, I have a house viewer tonight, can't go anyway but home. I'll binge on strawberries and snacks to make my night better :)

*Hooots~~!!!*
" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. "
1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Uni Application
I've been working on my application to NUS and NTU, actually mainly NTU. NUS's appliation form is driving me nuts - everything is in the same page and it can't be saved! Meaning to say, i have to retype everything once i close the browser :(
It's so inconvenient to do application when I'm overseas :( There's no access to my results, my certs etc. And my so very "efficient" brother has not send me the scans either. GAAHHH... Okay, I'm not gonna stress myself. Tonight, I shall work on the 300 words essay for NTU, and the 300-2000 words essay for NUS -- YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE???
8 days before application closes. God, please help me...
Need to request for appraisal from Uncle Bob and a letter of reccommendation from my supervisor. I should send him an email soon....

(unofficial) End of Intership
Anyways, it's been a long week - troubles and all. And I thank God that I've pulled through, Yipee~~
I really am blessed with such a nice and awesome supervisor! For one, I had feared the little but kinda major mistakes I made during the event would pull my final assessment grades down, but I still got good grade and much encouragements from him.
"At the end of the day, your grades doesn't really matter."
I was relieved when he shared that its okay to make mistakes and that he won't mark me down for the mistakes I made. He had made a graver mistake before. All in all, he's awesome.
God's Awesome too :D
Gonna make a Countdown List to keep my spirits up high:
17 more days - Joe Yong's arrival in Shanghai
25 more days - Home sweet home :D
27 more days - Bali Grad Trip *Hooots~~!!!*
Alright, now to get started on my 1000-word learning journey report for KK, and to apply for the local unis.

growing pains
Maybe it's because i'm far away from home, it makes me feel like everything is as it was in 2011, we were all from that age and we remained at that age.
There's so much out there to see, the freedom we own as we get older. Bu the truth is, I don't really wanna grow up so fast...
那些年。。。
Was looking through some of the posts I wrote when I was 14 and I found this :D Man, I love this picture a lot, partly because I think I look quite pretty here, heheh. They say that good hair days comes once in a blue moon, and indeed. I think mine's a purple moon. Gosh Yong, I totally didn't remember that hairstyle of yours, PUAhHAHAAHAHAhahahah
Ah, boy do i miss those days... Think I was slim-er at that time. Anyways, its back to work - report at lunch.
