Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Thank you Jiwen for sharing the wonderful video on Who Am I by Casting Crowns.
A nice take on my favorite song right now.
Its nice to be spending Chinese New Year at home, after missing it last year.
Reunion dinner this year was at Bt Merah with daddy's family - a change from the usual simple dinner at home.
Went to St George's this morning so i wouldnt have to travel so far to go Ah Ma's place after.
Came home to nap around 330 - my reverse parking when i got home was simply atrocious.
Aunty Rachel came at about 5..was happily napping so was a bit stoned when they came.
Parents went to our neighbours usual CNY open house, n surprise surprise -- Derrick is dating Grace Ong - my old friend from MG. was nice to catch up with her and Rubin again. small world.
rode this morning with david - jus the usual morning route cos we left the house late at 615.
n along mandai this joyrider comes along in front of me...tries to take out his bottle n then he drops it..along with the bottle cage?
anyway we turn left at mandai shell, n he comes alongside me n asks what route we're doing n if he can follow us. then he tries to make conversation.david was highly amused.....
this guy is 19/20 ? great... 2nd time in the wkend tt some1 has tried to hit on me..flattering but er..first older (much) guy..then younger...what does that imply ?
was kinda bored this evening...wish u were here n we could go out n jus spend some time enjoying each other's company.
i swam at around 6+ .it was a hot afternoon, but hot afternoons give u beautiful sunsets. the sky was a canvas of watercolour blue.the blending of the colours as the day faded into night was so subtle, yet the contrast was just breathtaking. awed by His wonderful creation!
have a picture in my mind of my dream wedding dinner location/scene + dress =) but i dont think such a place exists in singapore unfortunately. at least i havent been there haha.
thankful for His generous blessings this wk.but praying for His guidance to lead in this decision making !
am looking forward to the coming sunday - a reunion of barcelona friends =)
its almost 1am.sleepy now.buenas noches !

Blessed
my christmas tree has started to attract some pretty brown birds - not the typical sparrows, not sure what they are . but its nice to see them come n rest on the big branches.
its the start of a new wk. a long day tomorrow.
but before i forget, must give thanks for all that He's provided this week.
I prayed that He'd give me strength to go through the week, & He gave in abundance but so much more !
interview tmw am at 9. getting up at 5 to ride.so should go koon soon !
sent in an application yesterday for a position i really do want with EMA - sounds interesting , but God decides if the door should open.
got a referral from the lady at mcys that's trying to get mel to take up the job.
hopefully will get to speak with her soon.
at first the folks at stb (thank you so much Chin !) said im not eligible for the programme anymore, but tdae they said they'll consider me for the next round in May/june - if im still keen by then.
Lord, I commit all these to u.
For You have said in Matthew 6:25-27
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Gracias por todos
Give thanks for all things that God has blessed you with. truly, that we are alive to greet each new day, give thanks.
Jus finished watching a documentary on okto about primordial dwarfism.
go google it
or take a look at this newsclip i got off youtube- not the same people but the condition is the same
there are over 200 kinds of dwarfism , & primordial dwarfism alone has 6 diff types ?
how would u feel as a parent if ur doctors told u that ur unborn child wouldnt grow more than 28 inches? or that he/she would have bones so thin that they may break, severe scoliosis, and a host of other health problems.
watching how these parents / families cope with their child's uniqe needs- really inspirational how they still live a fulfilling life.

Gracias a Dios
it has been a really bad week, but am really thankful that God was there to strengthen and get me through it.
without Him, i don't know if i'd have made it to Sunday in 1 piece.
am physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted - but am refreshed by His spiritual feeding =)
joined the SMURTs at SSU Sports Awards Night at butter factory on Thurs night - was just interesting to see butter for the first time ! haha. there was some controversy over the nominations & e eventual winners, but that's another story altogether.
pls ignore the fb pic - there's nothing really, the guys just making fun of freddy...he's a really nice & harmless guy k?
had dinner with Sherlynn, Mabel & Sin Hui at Buckaroos on Sat night. Level 3 no kick for Sherlynn. i tried Level 2 but passed on the Level 3.
it was nice to unwind after a long week with the gals =) tho the taxi ride was super long.
had a nice long (too long) chat with Mel last night . it's nice to know that you're not alone in this difficult phase of life & that others do understand how emotionally and mentally challenging and frustrating the job searching phase can be. not that U don't understand it, but until you go through the process, its hard to fully empathize with us.
its the weight of expectations that u carry, leaving u tied down rather than free to really go out there & pursue what u think u want.
it may not seem like much, but it is very pressurizing when everytime u meet someone, they'll ask u "so when are u getting married". especially when ur feeling that u haven't achieved anything in life after graduating - like i've wasted the last 5 yrs of my life when i could have chosen another field to study etc. & when so many of ur peers are getting married or engaged & moving on to their next phase of life. - its nice to know that im not the only one feeling like that =p
hoping to celebrate Kwa's bday this year despite the packed new yr schedule- its been a good number of years that we actually celebrated our birthdays together - now that Mel's back for good, hopefully we can do that for all our birthdays n meet up more regularly as well.
its comforting to know that God's kept our friendship alive all these years, and strengthened it too. a girl's jie meis are really her most valuable asset and blessing!
today's ride was tough with the winds and it got really hot after 9.
am feeling alot stronger on the bike and more confident of pushing the speeds now.
just that the speedo is alil annoying - 10kph for the whole stretch of mandai..bu shi ba!
went on the drops on LCK, was nice n felt really comfy !
went for Vania's 21st at this really cool coffee place - Papa Palheta
will bring U there when ur back.
alil hard to find - but worth the trouble. Thank you angie for picking me though we made a big u turn to get there, & thank you lester for sending me home =) u guys rock!
its still kinda funny to see jinx n dennis 'attached' haha...takes some getting used to. but am very happy for them both.
will be having tim sum tea with them (xh, lester, ben, etc) tomw at Chinatown - hope its not the Yan palace again tho !
got 1 big container of pineapple tarts mummy reserved for u in my fridge- ill keep them here in case i bring over to ur place n someone eats them.U know who haha.
Lester sends his regards, so do the other RFTH peeps=)
yawns=p time to turn in.
buenas noches mi amor
bon nuit !

Dios sabe su necesidad
Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you NEED
Matthew 6:33
have been making an effort to do QT everyday, and it is a great source of strength and comfort to read His words.
He really does provide for your needs when you call out to Him.
last night i had a long conversation with Mel, and while i wasn't intending to call her - she called to ask how i was. & we ended up talking about alot of things, and she provided much need comfort and encouragement.
it was very nice to be reassured that my nearest n dearest girlfriends are here to lean on, and that im not alone in this very difficult phase of life.
Thank you Lord for the blessing of these friends.
God knows , and He makes everything beautiful in His time.:)
