Christmas Christmas Christmas!!!

"Merry Christmas Everyone!!!"

As usual, Timmy the Cat...can't wait to jump into any plastic or paper bag he sees on the floor...
as I was packing my luggage for my China Trip tonite..
He saw this huge white paper bag...
as usual...couldn't resist...jumped into it to have a feel in it...
hee...



Today is Christmas 25 Dec 2007.
Christmas is celebrated on 25 Dec every year..
but some part of this world or even in Singapore people do not celebrate Christmas on 25 Dec...do you know why?

As its too long to explain, you maybe wanna do a search on Roman Emperor Constantine and 25 Dec.
He is the first Roman Emperor who was converted to Christian and he was the one who chose 25 Dec to be the day to celebrate the Birth of Christ since No one knows the exact day which Christ is born as its not written in the Bible the exact date..

Thus there is no right and wrong as to when you celebrate Christmas.
Importantly is to know what is the Meaning of Christmas as you party and celebrate Christmas buying, doing gift exchange and so on..

Do you know what is Christmas all about?
Christmas is the day to celebrate and remember that 2000 years ago, Our Savior Jesus Christ is born on this earth..thru virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit NOT by man & woman's union.



God Himself became flesh and dwell among us...so as to save us from our sins (lies, greed, lust, anger, murder, stealing...etc,)
Our Lord Jesus is born on Christmas in the manger (so as to represent that this good news is for everyone not just the royal families..even the lowly people or poor people can accept Jesus as their personal savior, having their sins cleanse by the precious blood of Jesus on the cross.

Thus the first and the Best Gift of Christmas out of the greatest love of all is Jesus himself. Thus like the angels who sings and share the good news to the shepherds back there...we Christians are to share the true meaning of Christmas and the Greatest News of this precious salvation and the love of God to everyone..thru Christmas Celebrations and Carolling...



Last nite is Christmas Eve, which we called 平安夜. As usual we went from houses to houses to sing Christmas Carols and our pastors will share a short sermons on the true meaning of Christmas and the Great Joy of Christmas.

For our church, we only goes to houses which invites us..Diff church has diff practice.



We started of at 6.30pm and ended at the last house at about 11plus..
This year we ended early..I guess most of us are tired after days of celebrations..
last thurs we had a combine Christmas Celebration of all 5 chapels in Singapore in our Mother Church-Zion Presbyterian..about a thousand of more members turned up.
We sung on that nite..

On Sunday, we had our service at 10am.
There is baptism, Children Choir's (which I train) singing (they did pretty well..praise the Lord, Amen! My god daughter Kah Ying did a solo part..its really a relief cuz she was so nervous during the rehearsal no voice came out when she sing..but actual performance..she did pretty well..Phew!!!)



Then followed by my church choir (which I am also involve singing) sing..

After our Church Service, we went to Singapore Expo Chinese Restaurant 福满楼 to have our Christmas 8 course Lunch..Yummy...
We booked 100 over tables..as its our combine lunch with our Mother Church and all our 5 Singapore Chapels...
See....








Baby Declan and Me...


My Favourite Shark Fins with lots of vinegar..yummy...yum..yum..hee..

After a day's break..back to work yesterday.. I had to rush the 250 copies of Church Directory which I designed for Eden Church and had to have them printed stapled folded and cut...by yesterday..Phew..hard work...then after I had to rush out the inventory list for my kind church bro from Zion Church (Kai Wei- Thank U dear) to help me to do stock take when I am off to China..
Supposed to knock off at 2pm and go back rest and get ready for Caroling at 6pm..thank God I already predicted..brought my caroling dress with me..
I worked till 5pm..then rush to meet up for Caroling..

Phew..you can see just how busy my Christmas is..
BUT>>>>
I was very happy....very very happy...
I am enjoying all these...

Yesterday one of the house we went is my Aunt's house (Aunt Eline).
All my relatives, my grandma and even my dad, little brother and elder brother went.
I told Pastor that my relatives speaks Hokkien & English so I requested to have them Speak in Both Hokkien and English.
My relatives were very impressed.....esp when the sermon is in Hokkien..
they love our carols...we sung well last nite..
there is about 40people in our caroling team..

My Aunties keep smiling at me when listening to us singing carols..and even did a 'GOOD' hand signal to me while watching us sing and listen to my pastor speaks..
we were greatly encouraged..

Even my very charming Cousin (表哥) came too..
He really enjoys....He is a christian too..
He sung along as we sung our carols..hee..so happy...He still looks so charming..oops..hee..used to admire him since young..hahaha..Haven't seen him for a loong time..
He is also the cousin of Singapore Movie Director..梁志强 Jack Neo. Hahaha..meaning Jack Neo and me shares the same cousins and Aunty Uncle..

Wow..the nite is wonderful...

After the entire caroling..my pastor sent me to my elder brother's condo where I spent a nite with my family there, we watched Nativity (story on the birth of Jesus)..my elder brother who is not a christian but knows the bible and Christian history alittle..asked me some questions on the movie as re: to the bible..and he shared what he knows with my little brother too..

I am really happy...pray that one day..my elder brother and his family will become Christians too..
We were all exhausted..and we slept..
We did our Christmas gift exchanged only this morning.

The True Beauty

I saw something from Bill's blog which deeply moved me thus wanna share it here with you too for those who doesn't read his blog.

The cheorography is great!
There is great lessons behind this clips...
To me..its brings forth the message of the Will & Hope despite the circumstance we are in.
Many times we limit ourselves and others base on what we/others see...
and we neglected the point of if there is a Will, there is a Way.
We gave up even before trying...

May this reminds us to Keep our will, our hope and our passion burning despite of what others might say...

What do you learn from this clips?



Nothing is impossible!
Be yourself! Prove it!
This Clip has energized my day! Hope it does for you too!
Have a wonderful weekends!

Class gathering at Muchuan

Haven't meet up for nearly a year or so...with my design classmates...
Me, the Organisor for all our gatherings have been really busy..
as usual...if Angel never organise...Classmates will not take any initiative to get together... Thus Nik, my lecturer always say...Angel is our Satellite..

And if Angel cannot turn up..tendency is..the gathering will be cancelled...Not sure if its good or bad...
Looking at the facebook new items which I downloaded..My influence power is very little..which I think should not be...cuz I am always the one that influence people..
esp when coming to gatherings...

Not just for my design class.. as well as my Sec or ITE etc..

My Design classmates calls me Angel cuz my lecturer Nik calls me that.
Angel always likes to help..so whenever they need help...they will sure to look for Angel...hee...

Bill used to call me Angel too. Not knowing that its already my name called by my design classmate. When I ask him why call me Angel, he said he just feels that it fits me. So He calls me Angel. But when he is angry with me..he will call me Angeline like I will call him by his full name or his real name...hahaha..

My classmates are fun people...a group of Fun-loving ones.



Nik, my lecturer whom I used to Admire...gave us a shocking news today...
he can't join us today cuz he is gonna be a DAD. WHAT? Ya...since when this man I admire got married..hahaha..that's what all my classmate ask me..hmm...
He didn't tell me that too...
I haven't being really in contact with him recent years as my heart has been else where..hee..

Anyway I sms him..and he say sorry..he was way too busy...
Then I told him..he is forgiven..hahaha..
Maybe he doesn't know how to break the news to me..as he knows I used to like him.
Well..anyway..he is still someone I admire..as in his talents..
He is the designer for Lee Hwa Jewellery Logo and many well-known logos..
We click pretty well..and always think alike thus he always likes my design concept and values my design concepts..and appreciate all my work. He has always being very encouraging even during my previous relationships..and often gives me advise.

Since Michael, our design principal is singing at Muchuan today... I arranged the class gathering there so that he can somehow be involved..but I know he can't remember any of them cuz none of them are close to him like I do. As I always value friends around me. And admire people who are talented.

Michael is very talented.
Used to run our Design school which we studied. Was the one who brought the UK design Diploma into our school. He has good voice..sings very well..and plays good Bass Guitar. He and Weiyang and their drummer Ah Seng are the Best team.
They are all very talented. They have been singing in Muchuan (Ark Lounge) for 13 years. They have great passion in Singing and playing guitars and other musical instruments.



Hey one thing to mention, Weiyang looks very charming today..He actually wore a suit to sing today...but a bit weird...I wrote a note to ask him to unbutton at least two button then will look cool..but I think he shy lah..hahaha..

Oh back to my class gathering.
Today, Jamie, Jean, Rahmad, Ardy, Lenglee and Nik couldn't make it.
But I insist to carry on with it as I will be too busy to organise any class gathering when I start my degree study in March next year.



Alan, Helen, Sheron, Cyrus and Me attended. And oh Helen brought her hubby along too..you will see his pic later.. A nice and friendly guy..






We did a Christmas gift exchange. Gave them a budget of $10.
I bought a nice Passport holder as the gift.
We draw lots to see who picked what. Let's see...
I got a box of Ferrero Rocher..hmm..not bad...



Helen's hubby is a very loud person..Loud as in very expressive..the whole nite..he talks very loud..and really shake as Michael and Weiyang sings...hahaha...quite fun..
just that he talked too loud which somehow interupted their singing...I am sorry Michael. Helen is Pregnant too..due coming Feb.
See..I told you...I am surrounded by babies...recently..not sure why...
Nik's wife going to give birth soon.
Gilbert's wife gave birth last sat.
My brother's wife gave birth 30 nov.
May's is much earlier..
Phew...

Muchuan no longer sells food..just drinks..they have closed their kitchen.
The Business isn't good..
They have to move or maybe even close coming March..as the owner of Safra Town Club has other plans for this place which they are using presently..
so sad...
Good things sometimes just doesn't last...or stays forever..
The only thing left is memories...

Alan seems to lose weight..

Cyrus as usual...always say I not lady-like enough...today commented something about why I cut my hair so short... should keep long so more lady-like...something like that..cuz its too noisy can't hear properly..hahaha..I am used to it liao.
Still remember during one of my gatherings ..we went for buffet then he nagged at me for using my hands to eat Otah.. I tell him..its Otah..of cuz use hands...
he say no...U can use fork and knife...
hahaha..

Cyrus is always very clean and neat..
Too clean and neat for me...
Even his sketches is so clean and neat..
which somehow makes me feel like I am a man and he is the woman..

I remember I always tell him whenever he wants to see my sketches...
Sketches supposed to be sketches...not neat neat ones...
and I will tell him..
I can show you but you cannot comments on my sketches so untidy...
if not he will say "ai-yo" he always says that..."ai-yo...this...ai-yo that..."



As he is a christian..my classmates used to wanna pair us together which I told them NO WAY..he is too neat for me...I feel inferior..hahaha..

Anyway..today's gathering is great!

Thanks you guys for making the effort to attend.
Angel truly appreciate it!

God bless and have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Angel

A Happy Day & A Happy Gal

Had a wonderful Day today..

Started off with Lunch with him. As I prayed that this last meeting up for this year will be a happy and good one...indeed it is..really happy...we had a great lunch together.

Nice place nice food...
You can try the Tropical Tamarind Chicken which I ate..Its pretty nice..
and Miso Sea Perch w Daikon...not sure if its nice..but should be...its looks nice and he finished it quickly...hahaha..

The TCC at Lido level 2 is a nice place...
In fact, many TCC now has nice interior design..good ambience... :)



After he left..I stayed for another coffee since its early...
I ordered the Ginseng Coffee...
Not Bad..but a bit disappointed that there isn't much Ginseng taste in it..



Since it was still early...I went to walk around and shop for Christmas present...finally managed to buy some...

After shopping till about 3pm I took the train home to rest as I have a performance at Zion Presbyterian Church (Our Mother Church- something like the HQ of my chapels..We have 10 chapels all together...5 in Singapore 5 in Malaysia).
Today is our combine service..

As I am in the Church Choir..we are presenting an item..a Chinese Christian Christmas Song..Written by Eden BP Church..very nice song..

We are supposed to wear all white...and black covered shoes..
I wore the white dress I bought in Melbourn last year..very nice dress...
and a new pair of nice elegant black shoes (which I managed to buy only last nite..Thank God for reserving that last pair of my size 6 for me...)



I am very happy...I look really nice in today's outfit..got lots of compliments..hee..
But the new shoes bit my feet...
Thank God again..someone in my choir got plaster..if not I dunno how to walk up to the stage with the pain on my ankle..



We were very nervous when we got up the stage..cuz our Mother Church Hall is very big..the Stage is sooo Big...
Normally I dun get stage fright..but tonite..it seems that we are pretty nervous...
had a little hip cups..but still it went fine...
Someone told us its nice.

I am feeling very happy and thankful the entire day today...
So can't wait to share this joy with you..
And most of all...thank u God for saving that last 2nd good piece of white long sleeve 'cardigan' for me to put on during my singing..
Thank U Lord for saving that last pair of size 6 of this beautiful shoes for me..
Thank U Lord for helping me find my beautiful white dress..
Thank U Lord for the nice singing performance today..
Thank U Lord for the nice Lunch with him..
Thank U Lord for making me look beautiful today..



Most of all..Thank U Lord for being my Saviour and King.
If Christmas without Christ..There will never be CHRISTMAS.

Tonite I learnt the meaning of CHRISTMAS.
CHRIST + MAS
CHRIST
M= MOST
A= ADORE
S= SAVIOUR.

CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD FOR US, GIVING US (SINFUL HUMANS) A CHANCE TO BE SAVE AND CLEANSE FROM OUR SINS - E.G. ANGER, GREED, LUST, LIES..ETC..BY JUST BELIEVING IN JESUS AND CONFESS TO HIM THAT WE ARE SINNER...ACCEPTING HIM AS OUR SAVIOUR AND GOD..WE WILL GAIN THIS GIFT OF ETERNAL HAPPINESS IN HEAVEN WHEN OUR SINS ARE CLEANSE BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS.

JESUS LOVE U.
HOPE U TOO..AS U CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS..U MAY EXPERIENCE THE PEACE AND JOY..AND MOST OF ALL...THE GIFT OF THIS CHRISTMAS....SALVATION BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
AMEN.

HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
GOD BLESS!

Meaningful lesson of Trust and Faith

My eyes are swollen, heart heavy....Head packed...

Last nite had a conversation with someone (Miss K) really close...We were talking about budgeting and so on....how to start saving up....and thrift on food...and many others.

As she shared her past experience..during her school days...how hard time she has and how God taught her the lesson of trusting in the mist of even having to decide if she is going to use the only money she has on her text book or her one month transportation.

While struggling with that...she heard God's voice asking why didn't she trust God enough to provide her. If she trust God enough she would have used this amount of money first on the transportation to reach her school for the entire month and let God provide her with the text book she needs..

So she prayed telling her that she will do what He says, to trust in Him for His providence...amazingly as she did..God let her found the old textbook of her elder brother's which is a few editions before..and to her its like manna from heaven (bread which drops from the heaven). She praise and thanks God.
And she went to the library each day with that old textbook each day to make comparison before her class, pg by pg she gone thru it and filling in the difference (updating) her version in that book. Tho no one in the Uni need to go to that extend.
My heartache for what she been thru as she never shared this with me before.
Next she need another textbook..which without telling anyone..a friend of her came asking her if she needs that textbook as she has just finished that book the last semester. God is so amazing and wonderful. He provides us when we learn to trust in God. And becuz of all this hardship she went thru..she has now become a tough and faithful person.

She shared with me this so as to encourage me that if she can do it..I can too...
I shared about my sadness and question to God about my work..
Why? I was asking God after I left my work....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it that after all these hardwork I put into the company (bookstore)..My superiors still talk to me in the way hinting me that I have not done enough work...
My sup told me that I should ask my boss about the cd design which I used to do for the previous company...to take back those designs to do..from my boss as my boss is doing it himself... I didn't ask becuz I know my boss well...since he is the boss he do what he likes...

Then she told me...Boss told her that my pay includes the designing of cds....
and say if I dun practice my design my design skill will go rusty...
I felt as unjustice...
I told her...Haven't I been fetching design jobs to do for the company? And then she kept quiet.

The way she says is as if I am not doing enough work...I am idling taking pay for nothing... I felt so sad and so unfair for her to say that. In fact, the part which brings in the most revenue is by me... I made the most sales and did those designs which is many times the profit she earns for the company. What gives her this right to say that? But I did not tell her..as she is my sup and I dun want to ruin the relationship btw us.

People tends to enlarge other's fault than themselves. Like the case of LATE. She told my boss that I was late she can't stand it and managed me.
In the actual fact she is always late too...what gives her the right to say that.
But becuz she said that..I make it a point not to be late again...
Still she was later than me...but wrote in the book that she is punctual.
I guess I will leave that to God.

When people is happily taking their 13rd month bonus..me working so hard not even a breathing time or a time to take some water..will have to wait and see if anyone offer money to our company stating its for our bonus.. cuz that's the practice of the company. Tho things could have been done otherwise like other company..but since my sup is also the accountants insist this way...I felt so dishearten ..I can only commit to God this matter and learn to trust God for His providence. I guess this is the lesson of faith.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to where I left off...
After hearing me sharing about the above...
she (Miss K) ask me why am I trying to please people and try not to make people angry or upset. Its their matter not yours. Why carry on yourself?
We must know..we are not God. Where do God comes in when you try to do everything? Its impossible to please everyone and to satisfy everyone. If you have done your best and that person still feels unhappy about it..tell it to God. Leave the rest to God and pray for that person.

You are not NOT DOING anything for that person. You are doing something more valuable and important for that person.
Which is better? For you to provide that person or for the King to provide?
If we feel that its out of our ability or no longer in our ability to give what makes the person satisfy and comforted ..why not just admit it and pass it to someone more capable..which is the King..God himself.
You have done your part..That's enough. And be comforted..

Yes, she is right..many times I tried to be everyone's angel which obviously I can't. And when I can't I start blaming myself why I can't...I forgot the part that I am human, NOT GOD.

From now on, I will keep reminding myself..its alright..if this is already my best..if people are still not satisfy...I will just pray for them and ask God to help them. Cuz its no longer within my ability. I did my part and my BEST!

Thank You Father in Heaven for this precious sharing...
Thank You Lord.

An exhausted day!

Monday...
Normally people have Monday Blue...but I dun..cuz I love my job...
I am a workaholic...
Work makes me happy....
I love everything about my job...the environment..my sup...my job scope..designing and meeting customers...doing sales..purchase..etc..

Today is a busy day for me..No..I mean to say..it has been a really busy season for me.. Step into Office rush the design and come out with ads for the back of the Newsletter which I recieved the news that I will get the article today..so better get things ready...

Spent the entire after coming up with ad and doing up the ad and did the design for our new namecards..with the new map I drew...

Waited till 6pm still no news about the newletter article...
then about 6.30pm..got a call from my boss wife said that the newsletter's article which is written by our Senior pastor is ready..and email to me now..
Then she called again if she and my boss can come over rite away and can I finish by today...no joke man..one hour to knock off time..rush out the type setting for the article and the new ad they wanna put in...
I told them I will try...to finish today..
They came down immediately as I start working on it..

Finally got everything done by 8.30pm...I am starving....
We left together and went to Simpang Bedok to have dinner..

Then Nic came to pick me up and went to Valissa's house below her flat to do our fliming for Jason and Cat's Wedding present...
I did a last min rush of speech and came up with slightly funny ideas...
together with the help of Valissa, her hubby and Nic..finally got my part done..
The heavy stone finally fell off my chest....
Hope they like what I came up with ...
We have fun...laughing till I almost lost my voice...
Will see if I can get the clips and put up here after Jason and Cat seen it on their weddding as its supposed to be a surprise.

A nite out with Lh

Haven't met my buddy LiHwa for a long time..I guess two months or more..

I gave her a last min call on Fri evening after my China Trip Briefing...
Didn't wanna go back...called a few people up...
Thank God managed to persuade my buddy Lihwa to meet me for dinner.

While waiting for her to arrive... I sat by my favourite place...
Make a guess...where is this place...



Yes..this is my favourite hangout...esp with Joyce my best friend. But this day..I am alone...enjoying the beautiful nite sceneries... enjoying the lightings, the boats..siting by the riverbank...looking at the attractive reflection of the surrounding lights around Boat Quay area.. Yes. This is my favourite place. CoffeeBean outside Boat Quay by the Singapore River Bank. I enjoy this wonderful relaxing feel...esp if there is fireworks...Its even more beautiful.



I love Singapore River. A place of nice memories.
Each evening strolling by this river, helps to cast the entire day's tireness, wearies and anxiety away...



Far down the end of this river is Bank Of China's Singapore HQ. The place where I had my first permanent job ...working in the Bank (Chinese Loan's Dept..dealing with oversea loans.) The place of good and bad memories. hmm....

Finally..Lihwa reached...
We went into the 大碗粥 for their famous nice and Huge Bowl porriage.



We ordered a bowl of 3 eggs porriage...salted egg, century egg and the normal egg..with mushroom in it... and a bowl of Sheng Yu (fish) porriage with YOU TIAO and Chinese Tea... Hmm..Simple Enjoyment of Life.




Hmm...looks good huh...
hee..it is...
We spent about $30 there.

Took this chance to take a snap shot of Lihwa... cuz I told her..among my buddies..she and Gilbert's pic is not in my blog..how can..
btw CONGRATULATION TO GILBERT MY BUDDY...PROMOTED TO DADDY ALREADY last nite...Congratulation Buddy..Happy for You!

There somehow seems to have lots of babies and weddings surrounding me recently...
Well..that's good...
I am enjoying the feel of family too...esp with the return of my little brother Alex (Dingfeng) and my little niece Princess Adlynn...Oh I love it. Thank You Father in Heaven. Christmas this year is all about family..enjoying the Love of Christ (our Heavenly Father) and the love of family.

After our dinner...we stroll down the river and cross over to Timbre for a drink. Always heard about it but never been too.
Nice place..nice band..





but...I think they were having costume party or what..everyone is dressed in school uniform... But one thing that makes it looks ridiculous is...
those people wearing school uniforms are smoking and misbehaving themselves..
it looks damn awful I tell you. Esp when one guy in school uniform and shorts..taking his belt and pretending to whip a girl in another school uniform and both smoking..
Makes us feel very uncomfortable.
If you are supposed to pretend like a student and dress up like one..
at least acts like one...
very contradicting..
almost...angry till I wanna take a video shot with my hp and post on U-Tube..haiz..

However, despite all these... the Timbre is still not bad...
They have a wide range of wine/alcohol/cocktails/mocktail list...soo much to drink..but after thinking for a long time...we settled for a glass of white wine for me and a lychee martini for Lihwa..Will probably try the shots.. next visit. The thin crust pizza looks pretty good too!

So, that ends my Friday nite.

How did you spend yours?

Reason, Season or Lifetime?

I read something very meaningful in a friend's facebook, which I thot to share with you guys here. Its really enlightens me! Thank U.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our
need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

=======================================================================


Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because
your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

=======================================================================


LIFETIME
relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.



Thank you :) for being a part of my life, whether you
were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Thank You for 2007

In about 18 more days..we are gonna bid 2007 goodbye...

This year has been a wonderful year...a year of much changes....a year of Tremendous Ups and Downs in my life...like a Roller Coaster Ride...Exciting...but the heart almost seems to fall off and not able to put together again.





I told that someone special that I had the best Birthday in my life this year...cuz I had him with me this year. We spent a wonderful day together...and a wonderful evenings with my buddies at Bala at nite. Knowing that I dun always have him with me...I always treasure our time together, creating wonderful moments..
Even a simple coffee or lunch together or buying stuff or furniture together is the sweetest moment for me..



I thot I could keep these as sweet memories with me for my entire life...
Precious memories can only perserve the way they are only when one handles with care and they are like beautiful glass vases...very fragile...meant to place in a safe and secure place for one to look at and remember...recalling the good times..



However, I guess ours were not being handled well enough..tho to him..nothing has changed...sweet memories will always be sweet memories..just that things have change..people moved on...

Each end of the year...I will spend the last hour mins and secs.. in Church with God..recalling the entire year and giving thanks and praying for the new year to come.

This year...I will be with my bestfriend somewhere in China..ending my Roller Coaster Year there..and Picking up a brand new year in a brand new place. Joyce is right..God has given me a great Christmas gift at the rite time.. God knows the Best and gives the Best... God knows I really need a get away..to start afresh...I will empty my thots and start afresh a brand new 2008 focuzing now on my career, study and family..and of cuz..friends... without u guys around...ur support..encouragement...and your reading of my blog...I will not be able to stand up again..after each fall. Tho I am still weak like a baby...learning to walk....
I stand...I walk...I fall....then I stand up again...walk..and fall again..and then stand again...I guess this is a lesson of life for everyone..isn't it..

The fall might be painful..but most important part of it..is to Stand up again..the courage to stand up again after each fall..tho afraid..but just have to go ahead and pick up that courage and stand up again ..isn't it..

For those who are having similar experience of falling and standing and walking with me...Let's motivate each other..and Look Forward...Each day is a brand new page of Sketches.. The Day always starts Bright (with the sun shinning its way thru..isn't it?) 加油！ Gambatteh!

Still Giving thanks for this great Year of Happiness & experience...which really taught me lots of things in life...How much pages of sketches have you drew within this year? Next year will be a much better year!

With Christ...there is always Hope...For God is Love.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!

Like this song says "God will make a way..when there seems to be no way...He works in way..we cannot see...He will make a way for me.." I love this lyrics...In Christ..there is always Hope & Everlasting Love..

Ja Jang Myeon

As you guys know..I love watching Korean Series..and I can spend days watching Korean VCDs.As I was watching Korean shows...there is something which I always wanna try....but couldn't find it anywhere in Singapore...

After months of searching for it...finally...I got to taste it.
Haa..guess where...
ya..God is really good to me...
After a tiring day...I went to Tampines Mall to have my dinner and have no appetite..
then I saw there is this Korean stall..so I thot to give it a try.

Yes..its called Ja Jang Myeon.
Well...hows the taste...???
quite different from what I imagine..
I thot it's very sweet but its not..its quite nice..
I like the light sweetness of the black sauce..and the pork fats is really small pieces and very soft.It blends very well with the noodles.
Yummy...

Little Princess Adlynn

Finally Little Princess got her name : Adlynn if I spell it correctly..her chinese name : 黄翊婷. We call her Ting ting (婷婷).

I haven't seen Princess Ting Ting for about a week since she was discharged with her mum (my sis-in-law) a week ago. As I wasn't feeling well...dun wanna spread to our little princess.

Today is our once a week's family day...we went to Brother's house to have dinner since Mum is now staying with him to take care Ting Ting. Ting Ting has grown pretty much..not in term of size



but more like that way she sleeps and look around with her small pairs of eyes...searching around the room..and those expressions she made..


She made so much expressions like these









(So many different expressions..When she sleeps...)

Mum seems happier and young now taking care of her 1st grand daughter...



We were all very bad...esp me..
hee...the naughty Gu Gu (Aunty) keep crowding around baby..disturbing her sleep..taking videos and pics of her...hahaha...
Its such warming...

This is my sister & little brother's 1st pic with their niece Ting Ting..


I didn't managed to convince my 大嫂 Sister-In-Law to take pic with her daughter...
Will try again next time...hee..

And and ya...my dad (the grandpa) is not in any of the pics too...haha..

GOD WILL MAKE A WAY..

I was really disappointed receiving the letter from UNISIM that I did not get in to the course I applied for due to overwhelming responses..

In fact even if I were to get in...I have to worry about having to knock off at 6.30pm and how to rush from Clarke Quay to Clementi by 7pm.
And how to drag my tired body all the way back from that out of the place campus all the way back to the other side of Singapore...
esp if I were to take cab home I think it will surely cost me not less than $20 each time esp with the taxi fare increasing again next week..

I was really afraid that if I can't get into Uni to study degree I will disappoint my parents and my family who were looking forward to this day for sooo long...
Thus when I received the bad news...my heart sunk..

Just then...My elder bro told me to try out other well known Uni like PSB or MDIS for their degree course...I went to applied just a week or two ago...
Indeed Men is short sighted..without faith..all seems hopeless and no way to go...
Only God in Heaven sees and plans, giving only the Best to His children.

I am blessed to have a supportive family...
And I am even blessed to have LORD Jesus as my Father in Heaven..who loves me so much and giving me as He promised only the Best.

Like this song says "God will make a way..when there seems to be no way...He works in ways..we cannot see...He will make a way for me..."



Today..I wanna share a good news with you...
I have got in to University of Bradford U.K. - one of the Top Uni which is Internationally recognised after my Elder Brother did a research and forwarded me for reference...

I went to apply for Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Marketing in University Of Bradford, U.K. from MDIS about a week ago..
I was told to wait about 3 weeks and now I have got my Letter of Offer..isn't this great?
I am so happy and excited..
Bill said that my Christmas is starting early..hahaha..
ya he is right...
God is the first one who gave me my Christmas present...
A wonderful present..
Muck..Thank U God..

I am starting my course on 25 March 2008.
Hmm..but venue...
I thot I was told should be in Dhoby Ghaut just a station away from my office..
but now...Stirling Road????
near Queenstown I guess...
Hopefully they will change it to back to Dhoby Ghaut..

Anyway..really happy that I can finally get myself busy into studying and preparing myself for a brighter future...
Will definitely put in my BEST...
esp when so many people are supporting me ..be in moral or prayer or financial support...

I won't allow myself to let anyone down...Don't worry..

Indeed God will only give us what is the Best for us...even if we could not see and feels sad that He took some of the things/ or people whom we think is the Best for us..which wasn't..Cuz God only wants His Children to have the Best.
He took away so as to give us what is Best!

Thank You Father in Heaven..
Like this case...I will also submit my future life partner and relationship into Your hand as well..and not to get too sad and disappointed when what I thot was the best was not the Best which You have for me..
Give me the same patient and faith to wait upon you for the right time and the right person..
meanwhile...All the Best Angeline in your study and future..!!!

Yes!!! Way to Go..2008...Here I come!!!!

Muck....Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

Two men in the house

Today I was touched by two men in the house.
1st my dad..
this morning..its his first attempt to wash clothes...using washing machine..
He came knocking my door this morning asking me how to switch on the washing machine.
I taught him and taught him how to pour in detergent to wash his clothes..
1st time in his entire 60 years..he is taking initiative to wash some clothes...
Really touched...
Probably becuz Mum is not around, she is baby-sitting at my elder brother house..
me and sister is working till very late and tired and not so well recently.
I am indeed very touched and thankful to God..changing my dad..
who says old people can't change or learn?
My dad picks up English at the age of 60 and went to take his taxi lics exam in English..tho during then I had to translate every single English into Chinese for him and teach him how to pronounce..

2nd, my little brother..also staying at my elder brother's place cuz now he is helping out in the same Hospital as my elder brother while waiting to go for his NS next month.

After not seeing him for one week..I missed him..
saw him in church today with my mum..
he said he is coming home this evening..
he sees that I wasn't too well...
asking if I had my dinner which I told him its okie I can cook campbell soup to drink.
He then said no leh..he will cook instant noodles for me..
First time in my life ...my little brother is telling me he wanna cook for me to eat.
I felt so warm hearted..
I told him its okie..and I cooked it myself to eat..
This little boy has grown up into a fine young man now...
I can remember all the little details when he was young and very close to me...
I love my family and my little brother..
very good boy and sensible..
Too bad his sister has not keep in touch or refuse to keep in touch with us.

My little brother is 18 this year..I am 33. Very big age gap rite..
but my family is very close...we love each other very much..
We have been thru thicks and thins together...
we suffer and enjoy moments together...
The more difficulties in life we met....the stronger our bonds become...
That's family...

I am blessed indeed...

I thank God for all these..Thank U Father in Heaven.
I love You Father In Heaven and thank U for loving me...
Amen.

I love chilling out with friends..

Ask me what is my hobby..
I love to spend time chilling out with friends to relax esp after a long busy day or week...
It need not be wine or beer...
I love to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee at Starbucks or Coffee Bean with a friend or two or even by myself esp on my off day.
Enjoying a piece of cheese cake..if possible..
Its the world's most enjoyable thing to do......

Its not hard to find me in one of the cafe on my off day...by myself..siting back relaxing...watching the passing crowds and observing them...
Gathering Sketches of Life
Last evening after dinner at Ajisen, I helped Ben to shop around for Christmas presents. He ended up buying things for himself..hahaha..
After which the shops are almost closed..we went to Starbucks for coffee and Cakes.

Ben is a nice brother..He is also a gentleman...
If only most guys can be like him, that will be good.
He takes initiatives to do many little things...
Haha.. I am stating the fact Ben..not just praising you...
Anyway..I have a good time hanging out with this 'brother'.

I love Starbucks as compared to CoffeeBean..cuz only Starbucks has my favourite ICE TALL HAZELNUT LATTE...and nice cheese cake..
I am a devoted and loyal person.
Once I fall in love with some thing or some one or a job...
I will be devoted to it all the way..
My heart will not change until certain 'bad' things happened.

That's what my schoolmates wrote about me in my Sec School Autograph book..

I used to be in NPCC (National Police Cadet Corp) in my school days...
Very devoted in my Uniform group..
I always urge my friends to attend parades and footdrill whenever there is any..
Some said I am crazy.. I love Footdrills...
Everyone says I am very devoted.
I took this kind of devotion in my Christianity belief..
in my job... A friend once told me that he likes the passions I have in my job.
Same thing goes with my relationship..
Once I fell for someone or has given my heart to someone...It takes years to get over it. (For those who love Love Stories..I will share with you my first heart-beating love- puppy love another time..just for entertainment..)

Oops...back to where I was....
I told Ben that I love Starbucks but my best friend Joyce love CoffeeBean...thus we 'can' only go Starbucks when there is no Coffeebean around..when I am with her.
But one thing Joyce like about Starbucks is the Ugly Chicken Curry Puff..
really ugly looking but yummy...
So...Conclusion: Starbucks is still Better...Hee...Angie's own conclusion..hahaha..

A romantic place..

Just few days ago, after our dinner (Seafood) at Changi Village..near the jetty..My friends and I drove off to another place for a drink.

The Seafood at Lee Hup Lee Seafood at the Changi Village near to the jetty is really nice except the vegetable..The Chillies Crab is Huge and yummy...

After dinner, Mr Neighbour suggested to go elsewhere for a drink..
we went to the Hotel lounge nearby to check it out...
But it doesn't appeal to us..thus Mr Neighbour Tony brought us to a place which somehow brought back my past sweet memories...
a romantic place..
Strange thing is..whenever I go there...be it years ago..or that nite..it just happens to rain..tho it wasn't pouring..

After a while's ride, we reached The Yacht Club near Safara Chalet..
A place of nice romantic ambience..
This place changed ..
One thing never change is the attractive night scenary..
The beautiful calming sea...The huge sky above it..filled with stars twinkling in the sky...There, you can see aeroplane fly really near you...
it kind of reminded me if this is the place which a friend recently said that he found a nice and quiet place to eat...a place where he can see the planes..and its at the other end of Singapore..

Few years back..one of my EX brought me there while we were dating...
strolling under the sky filled with stars and beside the sea..isn't it romantic..
Things changed quite a bit tho.. but as we went to the 2nd level...we see the entire scenery even clearer...
We wanted to stay outside the balcony to enjoy this beautiful nite scenery and chill out but the rain didn't stop..and the seats were wet...there is no really proper shelter to shelter us from the rain out there..

No choice..we decided to go in to drink, sing karaoke and play pool..

Me after singing 4 songs straight..started to lose my voice..cuz haven't being singing karaoke for a long long time...Lost my skill already..
cuz singing karaoke and hymns/christian songs are very different techniques..

However, that place didn't keep us long...
we headed off to Beach Cabana - nice cozy pub by East Coast beach for our 3rd round..

Beach Cabana is a nice cozy place... for people to sit back...enjoy the sea breeze..chill out with friends...
We order a bottle of white wine and enjoyed the rest of the nite there...
The music they play are some of our favourite songs..
You can even do Song Dedication too..

Good times always flies....
Tho dun feel like going home....
but my eyes and my body is telling me "Girl..its bed time..gotta work tomorrow.."
And so...I told them its time for us to head back...I need to work tomorrow..
Looking at the time...
WOw..its 2am in the morning...

Mr Neighbour sent me back..of cuz since he is my neighbour..
We didn't drink much that nite..
just one beer at Yacht Club and a glass of wine at Beach Cabana.

We had a great time!
Thanks guys for your treat...

Dare to be different

Lately I noticed a pattern forming around me, which set me thinking...

When everybody is doing something different from you which left you alone by yourself..is it better to stay as who you are or to join in the company?

My answer is: Stay true to myself & Be who I am.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
What happened was...
recently...I noticed that be it when I was clubbing with my buddies and clubbing friends..or with a group of friends/ design classmates who smokes...
since the govt started the non-smoking system in clubs and many areas...
Tho the air is fresher..but..
I was often left alone at the table while everyone went off smoke together and even friend who does not smoke will somehow went out with them to accompany them outside..leaving me all alone with their bags..or siting at the table all by myself..

Tho at the moment..I was feeling really 'outcasted' or lonely...and it set me thinking....
After thinking to myself..this is my conclusion...
I know who I am..and what my stand is.. thus..to stand up my testimony as a christian...I dare to be different.

In the same case last nite when I was with a group of friends chilling out and they suddenly asked for poker and start playing..but I made my stand that I dun touch poker..as Poker is often associated with the image of gambling, be it that you play with or without money..I dun comments on what others do..but since I make it a point not to touch poker thus..I will not even if I am the odd one out..

There is nothing wrong with games..
many doesn't understand why christian cannot gamble, or buy 4D.
All these is not written in the bible..
but..the bible teaches that we should not have greed in us.
Greed is sin. When one greed for something which doesn't belongs to us, this greed will soon take control of us making us urge for more and more..

Bible teaches us as Christian to be clear minded at all times..be in self-control.
That's why people who buys 4D will only continue to buy, even knowing that most of the time they lost..but just hoping that one day they might just be lucky enough to win. To seriously think about it like the chinese saying 十赌九输 which means out of ten times you gamble, 9 times you loss.

Just like drinking...I used to think Christian cannot drink..but as I get to look deeper into the teaching..
The bible did not say that..
In the bible, Jesus even turned the water into wine in a wedding banquet..that's the first miracle He did..
But ** Bible mentioned about not to get drunk.
When one gets drunk..or drank too much..
the alcohol takes controls...thus the person lost his/her clear mind..
many times emotions takes control...
sinful desire takes over..
that's where bad things happened..
And another thing to take into consideration is TESTIMONY..

Thus as my personal point of view..
we can drink..and chill out with friends..
BUT..DON'T GET DRUNK..
And be careful with the surrounding where you are in..
you might get yourself into trouble even if you are not drunk and someone else around you is..So...Be careful..

God teach us to clear minded..let Holy Spirit take control of us..keep us clear minded...& learn to earn honest living and be contented.
Christians has Holy spirit dwell in them to protect them, comfort them and give them warning against sins.
But if we start to ignore all these warning from the Holy spirit...
sooner and later...we become deaf to God and become slave of this world.

Only with contentment can one be truly happy and satisfy.
Who on earth will even think that he/she has earn or win enough money...
everyone just want more and more..
its like our appetite..the more you eat the more you need to eat and wanna eat. That's how people get fatter and fatter.

Thus the key is: Be contented and thankful for all that you have. Do not greed for what that is not yours. Gambling is winning others hard earn money without putting in hard work.. tho many will have their form of debates..but this is just my point.
Know what you do..Be watchful & clear minded always.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT & BE WHO I AM.DO & STAND UP FOR WHAT U THINK IS RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS MIGHT DO OR SAY. Its always easy to say XXXX about others..it seems to be part of human's sinful nature.

Learn to respect others. Give advises...but...Do not enforce your thots on others. Everyone has their own freedom and need to be respected. Do not mingle with others affair when it doesn't involve you.
Be who you wanna be, do what you wanna do, say what you wanna say..as long as..you know..eventually...You are responsible for all these not others.

If after considering all these and you still think you wanna do it..by all means.. Its ur life. People can give u advise. Eventually good or bad..u r the one to decide & take up the consequence.
Right?

I am just a humble me...sharing my little thots and learning what I share in my little space here too...

Reflecting back

As I was having my facial just now..
Listening to a lady in the next room's conversation with the beautician, a thot came to me..
This lady is only 23 years old. She is a Caucasian. Married a Chinese family. Having 2-3 kids. Seems like a happy and blessed woman I think..

I was wondering that..imagining me getting married into a foreign country like her.. as long as I have a loving husband like her who loves me...I guess at that time when I looked back at my present state now in relationship...I would probably laugh it off..and think that I am very silly to dwell myself into this for so long.
Something which doesn't even worth of me to be so sad about for so long..esp when things just didn't worked out the way I hope or I planned too.

Someone made a presumption and suggest that I should look deeper into this..and learn the Good Lesson and appreciate this world, my friends and family..
I only agreed 1/4 of it because I am in fact working very hard focusing now on my career, further study, family and friends..and have always treasure and appreciate all these..for those who knows me well...(He probably doesn't read my blog I guess..)

Some times, people who you think knows you well..suddenly made such an assumption or sentence.. its kind of disappointing. I made that same mistake too! I am sorry. That's why I always emphasize that communication is important. We used to share about everything.

Well..time will tells..No need for debate.
However I agreed that God has the best plan for us.

This guy is probably NOT the Best for me..the Best has yet to come..esp after so much has happened..it makes me even sure of this and no longer have feelings for him.

I am very thankful that now I see a clearer pic, knowing that this just isn't the right man to commit myself to. Some times when we set ourselves too deep into something..we became blind and deaf to hints and facts..God who love us will give us only the BEST! Same thing, I am not the Best for him as well.

Me & him..will still be friends..like what I told my best friend last nite when she asked me this question. Friends are hard to find esp one who encourages you to be a better person.

I am giving him my blessing for his future as well. May the Lord be with you in everything you do.

One last thing to say before I bring this story btw us to a closure,
I appreciate & am thankful for the good times we had together, for things he has done for me, and always there for me.I learned valuable lessons & had become a healthier and better person.

Thank You ______ very much!

After all, only good sketches & concepts will be further develope into the final product/pic.

...The End...

Life is full of sketches & stories..
Each day is fresh page of sketches & stories, dun you agree?
Cheers Everyone!

Sandra's Blog

I love reading Sandra, my buddy's blog.
I knew Sandra since Sec One (in 1987)...wah..its 20years..
Time really flies...

Sandra and her hubby Peter has moved to Melbourne Australia.
Joyce and Me visited them and stayed with them for two weeks last year.
I should say..they are great host.
Never forget those wonderful time we had together.
Despite Sandra just gave birth to Eugene my godson (5weeks-she corrected me..) She brought us to shop around.

I admire Sandra and Peter. Its not easy to live alone in a foreign country. But God is with them & their little boy, Eugene.

Read in their blogs about those wonderful friends they made and how they help each other and enjoy wonderful time and blessing together..is really heart warming.

Little Eugene has started to say single words like Ball, Dogs. And he is crazy about Elmo now..hahaha..

Each time I read Sandra's blog, I feel as if I am with them right now..Oooh how I missed them.. I must quickly change a job..earn more $$$ and allows me to travel and visit them as and when i want or missed them..



This is taken during Eugene's recently 1st birthday.



Too bad ganma (Me) cannot be there.

Happy Belated Birthday Eugene! Hahaha.. Merry Christmas!!!

Mistake in my blog

Today two people talked to me regarding my blog.

One of which I made a terrible mistake. Sometimes what the mind think, the hand type otherwise.

Really sorry.

Blog is a diary which one used to express his/her thots. Thus if there should be any query the best person to ask is the one who wrote it, like my friend who actually took the effort to ring me up and check with me. I am very thankful about that.

People are made differently. They think differently. My blog only express my own perspective of things which might not even seems rite to some. Its just a general sharing of my life experience so as to act as a reference.

Gastrics hits at 4am

My gastric strikes me at 4am this morning..
feeling in pain and cold...
I changed into long pants and wore my socks and put on a jacket. Off the fan..
took my gastric medicine and curled up half sitting and laying with the quilt over me.

It took 2-3 hours for medicine to take effect. By then I was way too exhausted dozed off to sleep..
Missed my working wake up time..
Decided I should go see doctor instead..cuz actually wanted to go see doctor only at nite after work...I think can't drag any longer...

First thing that came to my mind when I was in pain 4am this morning was not myself.
I prayed for my baby niece...I scare that I had spread the flu virus to her unknowingly sat nite when I babysit her in the hospital over nite. Pray that she will be fine. Thank God mother is there to look after her from today on at my brother's place..They were discharged yesterday. Today my elder brother has his exam..hope he does well as usual cuz he doesn't have time to rest and prepare.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Went to Ler Clinic just a few block near my place. I love Dr. Ler, she is a lady doctor and I am more comfortable to be seen by woman.
Dr. Ler explained that our body produce less acid at nite and more in the morning.
How can I have attrack in the morning? What did I do? Did I skip my meals? Or I got upset and too stress up? I guess my answer was number two. And lack of rest.

Thank God my gastric medicine save me. Dr Ler said the medicine I have is very good. It cuts down the acid level. But its slow. She said my gastric is bad..cuz it strikes at nite..when its acid level should be lowest.
She said next time take Gelusil first as it acts fasters but not lasting.. then half an hour later eat my gastric medicine A-Famotidine (20mg).
She counted the number of tablets I left and ask me to be good girl and finish all in 4 days time. Eat 2 times a day. One tablet each time.
She then prescribe cold medication and cough medication for me..knowing I hate to suck those pills..She wanted to give my anti-biotic for my woman problem..but scare my gastric cannot take it. So she let me use cream instead.

She is very thotful. That's what I like about her. She will never let me buy extra medicine which I already have. And she always charge cheaper rate for low income working person. Very nice of her.

Time to rest.
Nite nite
pray that my boss and collegue won't be unhappy of me on MC again..(last time on MC i think is 3 months ago or what.)

A nite at K.K Hospital

Recently I am very busy with work, rushing the 2008 little christian diary hopefully to be published by 10 Dec in time to give out free to all our clients and churchmates.

Finally finished the final mocked up, passed the hard and soft copy to boss yesterday after some amendments. I asked Boss to check and he start grumbling..say why didn't I check I said I checked but normally the person who did it will over his/her own mistake as he/she already had the mind set that its correct when doing.

Very exhausted after finished a 60pages of diary design and layout...I tell you its no joke tough job..dun play play..Phew! Every 0.5mm will make a different esp to a graphic designer and printer.

Hopefully I can give each of you a copy as a advertisement for my church christian bookstore and improve our business..and make our life better.

After work..went to Samuel & Kevin, got a pair of jeans..tho was only $49 ended up $59.. plus two t-shirts which all comes to about $80plus for my little brother so that he can wear them to church today and for other days since he only had a pair of jeans. Wanted him to live a more comfortable life without much worries.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally reached home..din bring my hp to work, saw a few missed call and sms..one of them is from my elder brother.
Poor him...staying in the hospital with his wife to take care of her and baby and can't sleep well..Worst thing is..his exam is on this coming tuesday..no time to rest and prepare...
I guess his body cannot stand any longer esp the uncomfortable 'sofa-bed' in the ward..and sleepless nite help out while his little princess cry or when his wife needs to breast-feed..
He sms me ask me to go over to take over him so that he can go home to rest..
Of cuz I agreed even tho I am very very tired and exhausted..
I took a shower to freshen up and took a cab down..reached at 10.30pm

In time to practice what to do when baby needs to be breast-feed..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The nite started...

I was doing some catching up with Kit my sister-in-law (my friend..)
Then I shared about what I was once taught about children and baby..

However, little princess wasn't much feeling comfortable cuz we dunno how to wrap her tightly...she is premature..a month earlier..but very healthy..
As little princess was not feeling secure - not tightly wrapped enough..she was crying and crying till I hugged her to sleep..
finally put her down..
and soon she wakes up crying again..

We try wrapping her again..but she was kicking and stretching..and we were soft hearted afraid to be too rough..thus even tho we tried all ways and means to wrap her it didn't work..

After struggling at 12 midnite after breast feeding, we both decided we need to send little princess to nursery to let the expert handle her so that we can take 3 hours nap till the next feeding time..
and so we did..

Finally we slept about 12.40am..and then the door was opened at 3.15am..time to Breast feed baby again.. I carry baby in my arm till the mum is ready..
Baby was pretty good then..but start crying again..once I put down down..
then this time we finally got it rite..wrapping I mean..
its so amazing after wrapping the correct way..she stop crying immediately..as if someone pushed the STOP button..
but in order to sleep well till another 3 hours later I pushed her back to nursery..
she slept well and was not even bother by those crying babies in the nursery.

We finally slept..we had dreams..haha..
we were so exhausted overslept and the baby was not pushed to us..
we later asked the baby to be pushed to us about 8.20am..cuz its over 5hours..
we asked the nurse how come never pushed baby to us..she dunno how to answer..
anyway..baby was too tired and sleepy...didn't wanna wake up. We had to wake her up to feed her. I had to wash up and leave for church about 9am..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to the Kopi Tiam to eat the Red chinese wine noodles （HONG ZAO MEE SUAN) which normally pregnant woman will eat..haha..I was aiming for it since days..
Since on monday baby and Kit is going home, I won't have chance to eat that anymore..and no other foodcourt will sells this..I better eat it today..



Sorry was too hungry, forgot to take the pic before I eat..but at least I took it when I left abit..hahaha..so at least you can see how it looks..



How's the taste? Hmm..not bad lah..tho its not the Best..
I remember the Best I eaten was during a trip with my Pastors years ago in Malaysia.
My Senior Pastor knows Malaysia very well cuz we have 5 churches in Malaysia..and he always knows where has the best food and treat us to yummy food..

Then went to church in a cab.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's Children Choir Chaotic..Children was too active...But I still love them..
funny thing is...I din scold them..
I was still trying to talk and explain very nicely to the little 3 years olds..
I guess that training last nite helped me..
cuz the baby's crying is louder..hahaha..

However, I will learn and will manage little princess soon...HA..HA...HA...HA..
