haha kenneth, noted with thanks :)
so...
how time fliesssssssss
it's JULY.
keep thinking it's okay, i've still got time to plan the wedding and stuff... but now....
IT'S JUULLYYYYYYYYYY
omg.
so comes july, i've officially finished studying (for good hopefully!!!)
i've officially started full time work (in the babies room which i'm loving right now! yay!)
and i've officially been initiated into the world of germs via hand foot mouth disease. (LOL)
on a side note of the HFM,
i've been warned that i would probably be coming down with much more of all these stuff.... within the month that i've started work, one week was off on MC. and having only started work for a month, i havent accrued any sick leaves yet........ so means i've officially started taking no pay leave from work already :(
HFM sucks big time. it helps when you actually feel sick when you're sick. but HFM is different..... i feel normal apart from the million and one ulcers in my mouth (which some just merged into a massive one) and the spots on my hand that feels itchy at times. so for the week i was isolated at home alone, i couldn't eat much and i got SOOOO bored, i almost died. haha.
anyways, if you're an adult, please don't get HFM. they say adults always gets them worse.
so talking about no pay leave, seems like my first year of working is going to so be filled with no pay leaves. starting end july - which i'll be back in sg for a week!! woohoo!! but then again, i've got so many things to do within that one week, it doesnt look like its gonna be fun :( then December all the way to cny. seems like this is probably going to be my last long break that i've been so privileged to have throughout my studying days. guess this is definitely one thing i'll miss of my university days. but it's okay, cuz now i'm actually earning proper $$ and so comes july, i'm officially contributing to society!
woohoo!

i feel really impacted by a testimony shared by one of my cell group members here in melb.
just this year she was put in charge of the youth group that has been on the constant decline. the youths are few in numbers, part of a separate service, and most of all, they do not seem to have the passion nor the fire nor the fear of God in their lives. she testified that she has been praying so much that she couldnt pray anymore for this bunch of youths that refused to be moved themselves - being intellectually full of knowledge and the right answers, but lacking the personal experience with God. essentially, knowing about who God is, but not knowing God Himself.
was thinking, that's how it's always been.
i can't and won't say for myself that i haven't experienced that before because it's true. alot of time i've been wondering is this all that is to life? what exactly is faith? am i just being naive to think all things will work out well because i'm a Christian? even if i don't do QT, God will still be there for me when i need Him? and lots more. then i start thinking about the voice of God, is it the voice in my head or is it the Holy Spirit trying to prompt me and tell me something. alot of times, we want confirmations. but confirmations we don't have. is it head knowledge or heart knowledge? noone can tell you yes or no except You-Know-Who.
good news is that just over easter, we had an church easter camp.
the youths questioned and sought after God themselves. and they found God.
at the end of the day, it comes down to you.
personally seeking out the answers to your questions.
personally seeking out the confirmations to your answers.
personally seeking out for the presence of God.
personally seeking out for your own encounters of God.
until you personally experienced it, it doesn't matter what others say, your head knowledge will never be your heart knowledge and your faith will always be swayed. and all you actually needed was that touch from God to make everything seem alright for that moment.
the good thing is that the youth knew what they were lacking, they voiced out that they didn't know who God is. they took the first step.
so question is now to myself and everyone else: how do you aid your people to take the first step? then, how do you make/encourage oneself to go do the work themself? how do you push them towards the edge of personal encounters?
skimmed through this article someone posted on FB: why children leave church
(this is that which somewhat triggered the post)

didn't think the day will come when i can say..
I'M ENGAGED!!!! :D
well, it not as though i weren't eagerly expecting it and constantly bugging him about it. but..
I'M ENGAGED!!!! :D
hahahahahahaha
still really happy and eggcited about being engaged :p
and of cuz having fun saying "fiance" :p HEE!!! :D
so the story goes like this..
we were at a friend's wedding dinner which so happened to also be the place we went to for our first date :) so during the dinner, he asked if i wanted to take a walk (cuz i love walks) (and also cuz the wedding wasn't really that exciting :p) but ANYWAY! :D so we took a stroll at nightfall to the gardens he took a knee and popped the question! :) :) :) :) :) :)
it was kinda cute cuz he was getting a bit nervous :p
he asked if there was anything he could do that would make me love him more and i replied saying "nothing" :p then he said he's been waiting for quite a while to do this and he went down on one knee and said that i changed his live and etc. was so touching - almost cried, wished he said more but i got kinda excited and couldnt wait to say yes! :p so excited that i was squealing and hugged him til he had to remind me that i haven't accepted his ring yet :p
so it was kinda funny :)
but guess the saddest part was the celebration could only really start the next day since that night was a friend's wedding. sister called and we started clucking like hens til we got home :p and the next day couldn't wait to tell my story to my other sunday school teachers before class :)
so yupp!!
i'm still wide-eyed and grinning from ear to ear.
and i'm officially ENGAGED!! :D

now i know how nice it feels to be hugged when you're in tears.
today i got a big scare so big that i actually burst into tears.
and granny gave me a hug and held me tight til i felt better.
can't remember when was the last time i got such a hug from granny other than a formality one. am sure loving and treasuring every single one i can get.
i love my granny!

blogworthy! :)
today in the middle of the day, outta the blue, randomly..
i received a call! :)
caller ID says it was an adult.
but on the other line, came the voice of a little kiddy saying "hello" :)
then he carried on to say smth repeatedly with me trying to understand what he said in vain. smth that sounded like outside? which kinda made me look outside my window. hahahaha x)
turns out little jordan wanted to call auntie talia and hence daddy helped make the call! :)
how cute was that! :)
totally made my day :)

do you wish sometimes you were older?
do you wish sometimes you knew more stuff?
well i'm wishing it now.
i wish i was older and knew more stuff.
i wish i knew what to say in situations like this.
i wish i knew what to do to help.
i wish i wasnt so inadequate that you wouldnt even think about confiding in me.
i wish i was better than this.
(or mebbe its just men being men, i guess i'll never know)
