As drivers know, the parking fees in orchard is scary..super expensive. thanks to my brother dearest, he recommended me this car park which charges $2.50 per entry after 6 everyday. But the damn thing about this car park is that:
1) the money collecting machine doesn't accepts plastic notes. can't believe it right?? almost all of SGD dollar notes are plastic liao lo..and yet they still dont' accept. Stupid Machine...see which day i free i will write in to the MCST and COMPLAIN!!!!
2) then there is this cat..i would say fat cat... living in that car park. the first time i saw this cat was that it was injured (perhaps due to a fight) and it was happily resting on the boot of a car and i would say this fat cat really know how to 向受人生.. of all cars it chose to rest on a SLK! smart cat..and recently while i was at the car park again..guess what the fat cat did..let me show you all a picture.
the cat was happily resting in front of my car!! what has my car have in relation to it?? just because the cat saw hello kitty on it and thought they are friends???

A heart to heart talk with Yulie and my little angel
|7:11 PM
Been feeling quite unhappy recently due to certain events/happenings in the CG and Unit. Due to my unhappiness, i decided that i didn't want to go for the corporate prayer meeting as i really wanted some time alone. In fact the whole of last week, i was feeling very moody.
First of all...My CG:
Right now, my cg is about 15 strong. Half of the people in the group are indonesians and mostly girls. Outwardly, we look very "ra-ra" and laugh alot. It will seem to others that we know each other very well. But deep down, i seriously don't feel that we know each other. Perhaps if you talk about the heart, we are still lacking. I was feeling really upset about it because besides cg/service, i don't really get to see my these sisters. For the past few weeks, i have been pondering this question:
" Is a CG suppose to be like that??"
Today as i went for service, my heart was very heavy. To add to all these, my maid who has been serving my household faithfully for 18 good years left us today. (i meant she went back philippines). I do miss her quite a bit. After all, she took care of me since i was 10 but i do have wonderful memories of her. Ok back to my CG. Besides being very tired, i was kind of dragging my feet to service, the spirit just can't lift to sing. I was like 45 mins late. But it didn't really matter to me. I asked my shepherd where were they sitting and she didn't tell me where. But she told me another row because she wanted me to sit with my sheep. I was really quite pissed with that. Not that i don't want to sit with my sheep but the "tone" which i read the message was "you are instructed to sit with her." As i reached the auditorium and found the row, there was already someone else sitting beside my sheep liao lo..and it pissed me off even more. So i just kept quiet. Even till lunch, i guess i was unusually quiet. But my dear Yulie noticed and she asked me..and i just told her " i will call you tonight."
Just finished a heart to heart talk with Yulie with regards to the issues in the CG and the Unit and we were thinking how can we better deal with the issue in the cg because she also felt the atmosphere isn't quite right. Actually besides the cg and unit things i did tell her some personal stuff lah. But i am quite glad she understood :) Thanks girl.. and remember our pact of what we will do. :)
Next...a little angel
I am yet an auntie to a little one. Yap. one of my cousin from my maternal side just gave birth to a baby girl..right now i have 4 nieces and 1 nephew. This little angel is real BIG! Weighing at 3.61kg but because she is so BIG that's why i dare to carry her.Presenting little baby natalie:
met up with my old shepherd + my collection of perfumes
Wednesday, January 14, 2009 |8:50 PM
heheh...after changing shepherd for close to 7-8 months..i finally found time to meet up with my previous shepherd..it was short..but i really miss the times i meet her on a weekly basis. the barrier of the so-called "shepherd and sheep" is gone. so now we talk more like friends. we were asking about each other lives..and i think i really want to touch on one thing in this post. she asked me this question:
her: " how is your unit?"
me:" my unit?? eh..like that loh..my unit is = my cg. yes practically its my cg"
anybody can guess why that reaction? actually i can't help but admit yes i am disappointed and i feel envious. When i look at other people's unit, they also have new cg joining them and its @ the same time but yet they know each other even better. My unit? Even with new blood injected in the unit. my unit still feels very much like my unit = my cg. 1 cg is always MIA. while another cg is even when you see them and you know they are in the same unit, its as if they are STRANGERS. i am wondering, is a unit suppose to be like that?? Only for quantity to make up the numbers? In fact i have a few events which i can quote.
1 practical example is the game 食字路口 we played on the eve of new year. Its suppose to be a so-called unit event. But guess what. The grouping is kinda of cannot understand. We are grouped with our own CG people. In my mind i was like " huh..if we are to be grouped with our CG people, then might as well individual cg have their own event? why have a unit event then?"
Another thing my old shepherd told me was this sister of mine is attached. When i heard it, initially i was abit upset because it means they chances of her coming back to church is decreasing. Yet at the same time, i am happy for her. Mixed feelings. Happy because at least finally she is attached. I was thinking is it desperation that drove her? hmzz don't know man! But i can feel for her..being @ her age and she never even "pak tor" before, its quite "ke lian". So good for her lah. :)
Yeah yeah!! its about 2 more weeks to Chinese New Year. Not sure if i can celebrate this year because my yeye just passed away like late last year. I love CNY because my extended family will get together and there are plenty of happenings plus i'll get to have steamboat (my favourite eh!). But but..i don't like CNY because year after year my relatives are asking me when will i bring someone. Look..not that i don't want to but there are nobody in sight! All around me most all CMI (can't make it). Even my brother also ask lo.." what about your church guys?" and my plain answer " most can't make it." actually my heart is --> not only can't make it +don't even know them well + the interaction is minimal. Well thanks to CNY, i decided to pack my room a bit. Oh well, the first things i cleared --> my perfumes. I have plenty of them. Empty bottles lying around. Show case abit.
*Beware* The pictures i show are only 1/4 of my perfume collection:
Delicious - DKNY
Given by brother dearest- Britney Spears
Dior perfumes are just fantastic + bottle design nice. Miss Dior Cherie
Super sweet one - Heiress by Paris Hilton
Live Luxe - Jennifer Lopez

our heart condition
Tuesday, January 06, 2009 |10:11 PM
the past week has been real packed at work. its time of the year again -> budget, month end closing and Q3 reporting. I am glad at work the schedule is getting busier. Well, at least time pass faster :)
I noticed that when people are busy, they are more negative. It shows on their face and their speech. To cite an example i have this colleague. This colleague of mine is always sulking. Seldom see a smile on her face. Through the conversations i have with her, i realised she is 90% negative. By it, i actually can sense her heart condition -> unhappy. After knowing her more, then i know of her family background and her past. haizzz no wonder. Yesterday i msg her after i left work:
me:" i think if you smile more, you would look more attractive."
her:"unhappy. how to smile."
me:" just try. "
the above was what i really wanted to tell her. I don't know how to better express my desire to see a smile on her face or a more positive speech from her.
In the bible, it says in Luke 6:45
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."
This reminded me that what we say reflects our heart condition. Is our heart not well? Over the years, i learn to be more careful with my speech. (though i am still making improvements) But i desire that my speech gets more and more positive as days pass. Instead of complaining how busy it is at work, i thank God that i have things to do at work and have a job. Instead of grumbling that i have to wake up early every morning, i start to thank God that He gives me the breath of life to wake up. :)
my first post for 2009
Thursday, January 01, 2009 |8:43 PM
Its the virgin post for 2009. had a quiet countdown for 2008. yesterday the unit played the game 食字路口 at chinatown. whahhaa..its very tiring lo. but luckily we won!!! anyway it doesn't really matters which group win lah..its the happiness and fun in it. :)
Today, i woke up at 930am. Didn't have my 8 hours of beauty sleep cause after getting home last night, i was busying watching my taiwanese show 命中注定我爱你 *hiaks hiaks* watched till 3+ not bad huh? heh heh.
Being in a new year, i do have many great expectations but yet in my heart i have alot of worries. Remember my previous post which talks about my hopes/goals for 2009. One of it is to have a soul mate. Actually, i have been pondering upon that. I have anxiety (will that hope come? who? when?), impatience, doubts and much questions about the future.
I'll be honest. It's easy to hang these two words "Trust God" on one's lips but it's not all-too-easy to truly believe in it and do it from the heart. In fact, over the past few days, i was doing my quiet time and in the book of Jeremiah 32, it tells about how God instructed Jeremiah to buy land that was about to become the possession of Jerusalem's captors, so this would seemed a very odd thing to do. But Jeremiah did it as part of his faith pledge. It showed Jeremiah obeyed God's instructions to purchase a land. Anyway, the whole chapter is telling how we ought to trust God, not necessarily because we understand, but more because God knows the future and He is trustworthy.
It further tells how Jeremiah debated in his mind whether or not following God's instructions was a wise move. Although his heart was to follow God by faith, his natural mind struggled to comprehend such a transaction. (this was very much how i felt many times!) Too often, i debate in my mind. Will God provide? Is it wise? But as i remembered how desperate i was when there were no sisters in my cg and how perservance paid off and now there are so many sisters, i also want to see how God will send that soulmate to me.
To end off my virgin post for 2009, what i learn from Jeremiah 32 is this:
" Having faith in God does not mean there is an absence of doubt, instead, it is a choice to overcome doubt."
