Sense of accomplishment

Thank God for making today possible. Good weather, nice food and great bonding. Perfect!

Today it's our turn for community service project work and we are really fortunate to have Christian outreach to the handicapped to work with us, to accomplish our project. Though it's a short day, it is meaningful to all of us there. We had a pinic at botanical garden with the client and the teachers. We were having a good time of bonding with the people.

Right at the start we were having difficulties in finding homes. Supposedly, we had to find a home before the term closed but in the end, none of us bothered to find a home until the first week of the school term started.

It was not until I stumbled upon my facebook homepage where I saw Faith's post. I clicked on the tab and found that the 19th coy girls were doing some kind of community work at the home and somehow I saw the organisation's facebook account. So from there I tried to contact with them through email and they replied.

Initially, I thought that it was a physically handicapped home but one of the staff minded me that their clients were actually intellect disabled. Amazing.

For whatever reason, I got the idea of having a pinic with the people and thought of doing some drawings and colourings over there. God's wisdom, I think.

Planning was the most tedious job after all because it takes us several trips from Sp to Tampines and on Tuesday some of us also went to botanical gardens to recognise the place and to check whether the place is toilet accessible or not.

Thank God! Through His grace, everything goes on smoothly and perfectly.

F is for Food. I for Ice-cream. D is on diet.

I have put on some weight after enjoying so much of good food during the festive season- Fathers' Day. For goodness sake, we had 2 celebrations as 2 fathers have been complaining over the years that their celebration was always a 2 in 1 celebration as their birthdays falls around the corner of father's day and it was just so coincedental that both fathers had the same complains throughout the years despite having to know each other in these recent years.

These are the pictures taken (to mark as evidence) that indeed they had 2 celebrations. Ghees!

After enjoy so much of good food. Oh man! I hate to accept the fact that I have put on extra weight and opps! just had ben and jerry's ice-cream at night safari less than 2 hours ago.

Spelling the word- Faith

Had a meaningful long cafe talk at aunty Betty's house hours ago. It's a "ladies" night dicussion since uncle went to sleep.

Definitely, I had learnt alot throughout the session. It was a random chat at the beginning but slowly, as we get into the topic of guys and men, we began to talk about godly man. Henceforth, we talked about christianity and so on. She shared lots of her real life experiences with God and how her family became christian and how did her husband( uncle) became a christian 5 years ago. Indeed, God performs miracles and magics if we have faith in him.

As a young christian. I love to hear testimony from mature christians.Yes, one thing that I've brought home today is the value "Faith". I think accepting Christ is one thing but keeping faith in God is the true way to heaven.

BACK!

Hola! I'm back!

Yeap! I'm enjoying holiday happily. I think I've found the answer about poly life. Yes! Poly life is fun but I didn't know it's stressful at the same time because right now, everything is on my own. Results, grade and gpa, everything is so individual which makes me feel oppressed.

Ghees! But at least, I still have friends around. yes yes! I simply love the idea of having monthly celebration. We have celebrated over 2 months, for 5 people. Cool! 15 more to go...

The story of three wise men

Minutes ago, I just read about the story of the three wise men. The visit of the Magi. I'll just give a brief summary of the story.

These three wise rode westward searching fo baby Jesus, who had been born far away. Hence, they followed the star as they rode. At last, after two years of the wise men came to Bethelem where Jesus was born. The light of the star was still shining through the streets of Bethelem until it stood over a house. Upon arrival, each of them opened theirs gifts to Jesus. Gold, frankincense and myrrh. They were all precious gifts.

I think the story of the Magi is about the value of faith, patience and giving. Through faith in God, they knew that they were able to find Jesus. Two years was not just a long journey but a super long journey. We can do plenty of things within two years but why did the three wise men chose to walk this journey and continue to be patient as they allowed God to guide them through shining star. During the Jesus' time, gold, frankincense and myrrh were precious elements but the power of giving was so much valued that they gave their most precious things to Jesus.

SCANING SCANING AND SCANING. NOW IT'S STILL SCANING

Waiting. Since I'm waiting for the antivirus software to scan the files, I'll do some blogging as well. Though it always say "No malicious objects detected" at the end, it has yet to kill the virus on msn! It really drives me CRAZY. For the past few days, I've been scaning for over hours but it's helpless. My friends keep reminding me that they have been receiving the virus message again and again.ARGHH!!! I know it's really annoying but I just couldn't help anything. I'm really sorry. I'll re-install my msn again.
2 Hours and 3 minutes... And it's still scaning like...

HELLO

I've been staying and rotting at home for the past few days. I'm really bored. This is my daily routine: Wake up, eat, nap, online, doing some household chores (ordered by my mum) TV, dinner, online again and back to sleep again.

Less than a month later, school will be starting. I'm not excited at all, but rather, I am really afraid that I couldn't catch up the learning pace. Moreover, I'm a computer IDIOT. I can't imagine if one day my laptop were to breakdown during exams or anytime in class.

I went for the enrolment on monday morning. Everything was fine until the student card- making station. ARGH! The picture was taken and given on the spot. I don't whether I should laugh or cry at my own photo. It was really ugly. You wouldn't find anything that is uglier than it.

Then I proceeded to the next stage. CCA, cultural club and student union boothes were all there. Smart people, they made us (the new student) to walk through it before we proceed to the last station. Before I went through a haunted tunnel, I was determined not to join any of their camps or whatsoever if any were to approached me. However, God knows. I was defeated by one of the lady from the cultural club. I was defeated by her friendliness and spent $5 to join a weekend day camp.

Afternoon, I went back to school again with my dad to purchase the laptop. We spent quite some time to find a carpark. I know he was quite angry with me because I brought so much trouble to him and always like to do last minute work.

As we reached the roadshow hall, I approached the salesman from fujitsu and asked him about the laptop that I was recommended by Daniel. To my horror, it was out of stock an hour ago. I really feel like crying because it's a good bargain. So, I have to choose the next affordable one. So I chose the fujitsu lifebook. According to the salesman, that sold out laptop was from china and lifebook can last longer (at least 3 years). ( Hopefully what he said was true.)

Moreover, as I compared the weight difference, lifebook is lighter. It's 1.9kg while the sold out one is 2.5kg. I could really feel the weight difference. HA! That's soothe my dissapointment. =)

Lastly, I went to the post-configuration briefing where they thought us how to access SPICE account and recover when password is lost. Hopefully I'll remember it till the day I leave.

Though I'm going to a new school, I saw someone that I dislike during the day of enrolment and that makes me turn off. I don't know why, during school days she would use a weird expression to look at me as if I've done something disgusting and that really get me on my nerves.
