Juggling different hats...

Can't believe it's friday again. Had a good time at cell, got questions going and found out that a bunny can really be a terror. That stufid thing killed the telephone and the airconditioning system by chewing through the wires. Argh. So it was a hot mtg. Heh. Well, the camp's coming up and seems like the dinner arrangement is barely ready. I dun even have the mood to go through the dinner. Wat more fanciful plans. Sigh. I've also realised the true meaning of SUBMISSION. It's a whole new ball game for me. I've realised that my opinions dun really count especially in the workplace, where I have to submit to the authoritarian style, esp when it's the hubby. So, I'm learning. It's not easy, and gosh, i really prefer to be the wife than the colleague. Every small thing becomes a source of discontentment and struggle. I prefer life after work. At least it's less volatile, and he spends time doing paperwork (sometimes) on the comp. If not, i'm on the comp.

I still cannot believe it's friday already. Tmw's supposed to be day one of new cycle. Let's see what happens. Perhaps I'm too stressed, so it's taking its own sweet time. :P Next week monday, go zoo from 8am to 6pm. At least his colleague won't be there to defy him, so he's less stressed. Also, he'll get to spend time with the children, which I think has been quite hard for him. Well, I'll just try my best.

Come tuesday, and we're off to the camp. Wonder how it's going to be like. Lookin' at the indemnity form, it's quite scary. I dunno if i'll be presentable on the 9th. Oh, an update:

7. Kyler & Blanca (PMC)
8. Ps Mark, Aye Lan & Faithe
9. Esther
10. Roland and Chellie
11. Andrew and Charlotte

Must send Ki'ern's card out by tmw. If not i die. :P

Then the week after - dinner. Then Malaysia! :D The hols are whizzing by so quickly. And the results will be out soon. Sigh. Dunno how's it's going to be. Dun care lah.

Still thinkin' if i should return to PCS. Well, on a happier note, STAR RUNNER is out!! Hahahahh!!! Hm... no more girly rebonded hair for Vanness! So, when uh? :D Heh. Was thinkin' of rentin' the VCD next time instead. Scared to spend precious $$ on movies. Rather rent it from the auntie-vcd-rental-shop-down-the-street. Cheapo. Yup, me.

MIA II

Paish... MIAed again. It's been bz... made cookies with the children from the student care yesterday, and they enjoyed it. Quite a saga b4 that, and got personally affected after that. Sigh. Dowanna talk about it. Haven't been touching the computer, but busy with dunnowhat nonetheless. Will be at the centre on Mons, Weds and Fris. Other than that, I think I'll be at home bumming and tinkering around the room. This place is bloody messy. Sigh. Well, today's Thursday, and come next tues I'll be off to an ezekiel camp! Wonder if it'll be like the bones in the valley. Heh.

Haven't been around for so long that Flobble took itself off. Well, too lazy to go reapply.

Wedding dinner's in 2 weeks time. Right. Argh. The bride has 1 1/2 tables of guests. The rest of the world? Dunno lah. So far, my personal guest list...

1. Elise
2. Michelle
3. Carina & family (4)
4. Katherine (NIE)
5. Eve (& partner. Jason is it?)
6. Ki'ern and HP

That's it. Those people who are pretty significant to me.

Anywayz,... a certain movie endorsed by Channel 8 is coming out I think. Heh! :D

MIA

Paiseh... eversince i had been terrorised by some track, i haven't been blogging. Okie, lame excuse. But anywayz, buzy buzy buzy... went to the gynae yesterday, not fantastic news. Anyway, gotta boost up my immune system and return for another check. :P bummer. But I believe God's in control. Quite a scary time, don't like to go gynae alone. Past three times it hasn't been fantastic. Sigh. Each time i go, I feel more and more alone.

Tonite's food tasting at Imperium. Sleepy. Ben wasn't feeling well last night. Finished 1000 & 1500 pcs jigsaw puzzles since the hols started. surfed for their pictures but couldn't find them. but check this out...


Pretty right?? :)

Tired, wanna take a nap, but scared no time. Have been going through friendster, and found a couple of people. Tired... wanna nap.

Life is a Miracle

I kept crying throughout the whole show. Siang E.E. lent me the DVD.


It's a true story of a woman who suffers from this tumour growth at the base of her spine, caused by the colon cancer she had 3 years ago. It's evangelistic, and has reminded me that life is indeed short, that everyday is a miracle. When we lament about the quality of life, we are actually dissatisfied with the way we are running the race marked out for us.

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

And may I, before my last breath say:

2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Hiaks!

Completed my revision, and just realised the module for this exam is 3AUs! *faint* Well, about 70% ready... have to memorise the chart, do abit of exam papers here and there, scrutinise language everywhere (Ben faints again), and SMILE!!! It help in the confidence arena. :D Help... I need to remember the transcription rules and everything else. Last year's eae101 paper was so farnie. IT WAS THE EXACT SAME PAPER AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S. No joke. People who didn't do the past year paper was seriously cursing and swearing. It was pure dumb... but the lecturer was the BEST!!! He made me fall in love with English, and now to complete the cycle, I've got Paul the dodo to make me dislike it. Coz he's just him. Argh. Pui.

Okie, back to work. 4pm tomorrow and I'm a free woman. Heh. Not really though. :D But I liek...

Today's Devotion

James 1:19-27

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Hurray!

Yay... i've finished the first section of my revision - Functional Grammar. Hopefully I know what's happening. haha... Well, have to do past year paper then see my progress. Did laundry and joy's table mat flew away. dunno how also lah. Yup, we're going on a trip!! :) Finally... on the 11th, after the wedding dinner. Ben's got his student care centre camp on that day too, so both of us won't be around. Hmm... gotta remember to put Joy at my mum's place.

Gotta go shower then go for round two of grammar. HELP!!!

A renewed devotion

Through the rush of so many events and distractions, I have taken my eyes off the cross. There was even one period where I didn't want to look at it. No more passion, just being mechanical instead. Well, since I'm a Christian, I thought, I need to go church, go cell, do the necessary stuff. But God in his faithfulness convicted my heart. A sister in Christ, Ashley, prayed for me and spoke words of encouragement. Ps John Elliot from NZ came and spoke about Proverbs 30:18-19.

Proverbs 30:18-19
"There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a maiden."

I have always been intrigued by this passage, and God shone His light on it during service. My life is changed once again. A renewed commitment. A renewed devotion.

Eagle in the sky
- sensitive to the air current -- sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit
- seeing things from above -- seeing things from God's perspective
- soaring in the air -- mounting on wings like eagles (Isa 40)

Snake on a rock
- consistency (apparently wherever u put the snake, its temperature dussen change... hmmm...) amidst life's highs and lows

Ship on high seas
- moving forward - a spectacular sight!
- discovery
- not meant for harbours
- pull up ur anchors

Man with a maiden
- passion
- intimacy
- desire

It has been personally meaningful for me. Will share more when I take my next break. :)

God's Sacrifice Redefined

Abraham sacrificed his son, Issac.
God, the Father, sacrifice His son, Jesus.

Abraham laid his son Issac on the altar of Mount Moriah.
God left his son Jesus on the altar of Mount Calvary.

Issac did not know that he was to be sacrificed.
Jesus knew that He was.

Issac carried the flame.
Jesus carried the cross.

Abraham lifted his knife towards Issac.
God let man lift their weapons against Jesus.

God is faithful.

In place of Issac, God gave a ram.
In place of a relationship with us, God gave His son.

Don't waste it.

NOW....for the results !!!

TYPE A --- 90% FLIRT

You fall in love easily most of the time getting trapped in a triangular relationship. Adding to the fact that u do not commit to your partner, u enjoy having suitors. To put it simply.

YOU ARE FAR FROM FAITHFUL.


TYPE B --- 70% FLIRT

You are partially flirtatious by nature. You enjoy being pampered & pursued by others so occasionally you would harbour the thoughts of 'stepping on 2 boats'.

BUT...as you are sensitive to your partner, you do try to restrain yourself.


TYPE C --- 40% FLIRT

You are shy by nature and have only a small circle of friends. These attributes to the fact that you would not have a high chance of getting trapped in a triangular relationship.


TYPE D --- 0% FLIRT

You have high morality & its against infidelity. Whoever is with you is the most fortunate but pray that your partner does not belong to any of the above group!

Phew!
