ooh last nite was lovely!

watched Ballet Under the Stars with Andrew and Lav : ) weather was beautiful (thank God!! lulu and i were praying so hard we'd get brilliant weather), we had a simple but nice picnic, great seats coz Andrew spotted an open space in the midst of the crowd that had already gathered and decided it was ours (even tho there were pple all around it alr), amazing company as usual, and a wonderful performance (especially the last 2) : )

lav and i decided after that in addition to being Chindia, we should be artsy fartsy frens who go for BUTS every yr henceforth. haha it really was a good time of catching up, chilling out and enjoying the evening.

Crashed over at Andrew's place to watch Bollywood Hollywood after which was tons of fun! heh loved sitting on his antique wooden bed : ) i want one of those in my own place next time! and i've decided that mommy's now mommy-ji! haha the show was predicatable but hilarious nonetheless.

dhoby joined us in time for supper soon after and we finally (or rather, Andrew) finally had teow chew mui : ) had a looong night but always love spending time with this group : ) never seem to get enough of each other. haha oooooh and andrew got picked up! i thought that was by far one of the funniest portions of the evening. hahaha.

ok photos frm BUTS will be up later : )

i've decided that i'm blessed with friends to die for. had a wonderful wonderful evening out with my chi girlies at One Rochester. we decided the photo really doesn't do the place justice coz it really is more lovely than what's seen in the picture. and we would have liked a more flattering photo of us all but oh heck it. we're beyond fussing the small stuff. haha oh and, lish, our fashion journalist to be, has decided that all our outfits were intricately linked somehow or other. sheena and lish were both in blue, lish and ana are both in baby doll dresses, ana and i are both in floral prints, mich and i are both in red tops and black bottoms and mich and sam are both in tailored pants. haha we rock. gone were the days when sheena would be the only one in a different colour from the rest of us. haha and phrase of the nite - yummy mummies. i love u girls.

what else has been most interesting and amusing is how much has gone on the last 2 days. conversations with some my closest friends have suddenly become so enlightening as everyone finally sheds light on how they knew/were involved in/guilty of speculating/found it exciting yet excruciating to keep mum all this while yadayada. haha it's hilarious. but u guys really are the best. I truly am blessed to have friends like u guys. thanks for the input, honesty, tactfulness and all. u each know what small sneaky role u've played. haha. and so lav, u get ur little note of commendation here ok? thanks for everything babe. : ) and ur still on my number 1 list of priorities. hahaha.

heh ok so i've decided. I need a break. can't keep teaching though i love it. can't keep meeting people either coz it impinges on time that can be spent otherwise.

realizing that i can't keep doing things i love at the expense of what needs to be done. duh. i know that but it's just becoming real now. haha.

so i'm taking a break from teaching for a week to REALLY get down to finding a topic for my ISM and thesis. when did i ever become such a procrestinator!?!? bah.

heh but on a brighter note of living in the now, almost done with class for the day (i actually enjoyed all my classes, the sec 1s included, heh.), gonna visit jac with dhoby in awhile, then have dinner with dhoby then it's Chi nite out! funfunfun. heh and we're meeting the new boy. can't wait. : )

and perhaps indonesia with lav next week to crash in with Andrew? hahaha

I think God's been giving me like a crash course on faith - if there's such a thing. I've been so blessed by the people He's placed around me, the circumstances He's placed me in (though they're not always the easiest), the lessons He's been teaching me, His answers to my prayers as I learn to ask in faith and how He reveals Himself to me.

I think beyond His answers to my prayers which i'm really thankful for, what truly overwhelms and overjoys me is simply knowing Him. He's so faithful and so attentive to the things i ask for and as Mich puts it, His heart is inclined towards me. Even as BS with my cg today was about our spiritual blessings in Christ, I'm still learing to grasp them, especially His love for me - it's extent, it's vastness, it's measurelessness, it's depth...

And so despite my circumstances and whatever season I'm in, I know that when my desire is to know Him, He will reveal to me more of His character and being. And oh it's so wonderful how He shows me things i never knew and in ways I never imagined! : )

The lyrics of this song sum up neatly what I've been learning:

Take My hand and walk where I lead
keep your eyes on Me alone
don't you say why were the old days better
just because you're scared of the unknown
take My hand and walk

Don't live in the past
cause yesterday's gone
wishing memories would last
you're afraid to carry on
you don't know what's comin'
but you know the one who holds tomorrow
I will be your guide
take you through the night
if you keep your eyes on Me

Take my hand and walk where I lead
Keep your eyes on me alone
don't you say why were the old days better
just because you're afraid of the unknown
take my hand and walk where I lead
you will never be alone
faith is to be sure of what you hope for
and the evidence of things unseen
so take my hand and walk

Just like a child
holding daddy's hand
don't let go of mine
you know you can't stand
on your own

~take my hand and walk - The Kry~

Dawned on me last night how risk adverse i am. Realized that I never say, ask or pray specifically for anything coz i'm afraid to be disappointed if it doesn't materialize. So, for example, i've never asked God for a specific grade or outcome in anything that I invest/spend a lot of time and effort in. Instead, I ask that His will be done, that He bless me according to His riches and mercy and grace, that I'll trust Him and rejoice in any outcome...yadayadayada. You know, like vague, waffy prayers prayed which I think give God room to work as He wills?

But really, it's about me not being bold in asking, and being afraid to ask, and beyond that, lacking the faith to believe that I can pray according to my God-given desires, hopes and dreams and that He'll bless me with all He has stored up and prepared for me. Instead, I like to think that by just asking God to take control, I think I've done what's all that's needed - surrender. Surrendering to Him has therefore been something not all that difficult since it hasn't cost too much or been too risky.

However, been talking to Mich the last 2 days and she's been challenging my notion of surrender. Surrendering is not too difficult or that big a deal if there's nothing much involved - no real cost and therefore less to lose, no hope and therefore less room for disappointment. But the equation's not complete. Abraham sacrificed Isaac - the seed of promise, the one he had waited so long for, who meant incredibly much to him. He didn't sacrifice just some fattened calf, he was willing to sacrifice his own son. His sacrifice was his worship to God, and an extremely costly and painful one at that. He knew exactly what he was giving up - the one in whom all his hopes, dreams and desires were placed on - his son. Surrendering was extremely difficult for Abraham coz it cost him.

While I was in India, I saw this:

And the last one has always stuck in my mind for some strange reason - worship without sacrifice.

So i'm learning to be vulnerable before God, to ask according to the desires of my heart which He's placed in me, to tell Him what's truly on my heart, and to place these at His feet, knowing and trusting that God gives everything to those who surrender all to Him. afterall, faith begets.

It's daddy's day off today and usually my folks spend the day out together. i usually try to join them at some point of it just to spend some quality time together. used to go swimming with them but tt's just too early in the morning on the 2 days i get to sleep in in a week..heh so i try to make it up otherwise.

today, it was by having dinner/supper with them at the teow chew mui place. went to order with daddy and he just ordered and ordered and ordered till i had to stop him! asked him if he was a king or something and why he was ordering so much but he just shrugged it off. so when we got back to our table, we did our usual thing - guess what the bill will be. he said it'd only come up to $10 and i told him i thought he was bonkers. i bet it would come up to $2o.

heh but guess what? he was right. He almost always is with predicting the bill! but i guess that point was that it's just kinda nice hanging out and dining with the folks, whether at home or out, coz there's always a yummy spread! heh but more importantly, it's the time spent talking abt random events of the day and all. : )

told them i had to take a picture of all the food Pop's ordered for us 3. heh so here it is : )

realized that once your guard's down and u cease to rely on the Spirit and fix your eyes on Christ, u slip and fall.

and my QT this morning was just about being a Temple for the Lord since we're his holy people.

So i'm reminded to LIFT - Love, Imitate Christ, Focus on Him and Tell of His goodness, mercy and salvation. Thankfully, by His grace, He picks me up when I've fallen that i may Lift Him up in my life.

heh lav says that India's here to stay with us for a lifetime. was telling her how there was this man who got onto the train today who looked just like Ramesh, our driver while we were touring the Golden Triangle in India, and it was hilarious! He really did look like him. haha made me smile to myself and i felt dumb but oh well, i do that a lot.

then, was early to meet the Chi girls and needed to get my eyebrows cleaned up so i decided to have them threaded like i did in India. It's 1/3 the price and so much faster and i don't have to make small talk like i have to at the other place i go to. It's this teeny tiny outlet in some ulu building in between Orchard Emerald and the old OG building called Rupini's and it only costs $5 to get ur eyebrows shaped! fast and relatively painless. heh and again, it brought a floodgate of memories back about India when Lav and i got our eyebrows done in Bodh Gaya as well as our oily oily oily massage experience which we had to rush thru to catch our train, only to wait 6 hours for the train to come. haha.

good memories. and yes, i had to bite my lip to not smile to myself as the memories came while the lady was threading my eyebrows or she'd think i was really odd. heh.

ok, so it's not gonna be the k800 but the w300i instead. haha cuzzie and i are swapping.

my practical lesson to one of my previous posts : ) God sure has a way of making sure we internalize and put into practice the things He lays on our hearts.

woopie! got a new phone from my uncle. heh told him my nec one broke (yes i'm rather upset about that coz i loooooved it) and so he sent me back one of his new toys : )

only thing is i'm not sure how to erm...use it? haha anyone has it? i hate reading the manual so i'm trying to not have to do that if i can help it.

been meeting up with friends who've just begun work and hearing stories about those who have and a recurring theme has been how they struggle with expecations and crazy workloads and long hours. and i'm beginning to wonder whether i may be wrong/overly idealistic/plain naive about how tough it is to juggle and order priorities once one begins work.

i remember talking to dhoby on our flight back from India about what living the simple lifestyle means and how it takes making conscious choices and prioritizing to not get sucked into the whole working world craziness. But perhaps it's more complicated than that - you don't always have a choice about how much time u wanna put into your job. maybe u have to. coz your boss says so. coz your appraisal requires you to. coz your colleagues are. coz your neck is on the line. coz you're expected to. is that really so?

if so, that's scary.

but real. and challenging. but exciting all at once.
guess standing and living by God's standards and for His appraisal takes on a whole new meaning.

on another note, had a talk with daddy this morning coz i could sense he was pissed at me for being out so late last night. so i apologized and he reminded me how i've not been home for dinner at all the last 2 wks. was a gentle yet strong reminder that i've been taking my family for granted once again and that it's time to reprioritize. figured that if i can't get this right now, it definitely won't get any easier when i start my Honours yr and eventually begin working.

heh beginning to really think i should read Reordering your Private World.

it's kinda neat how in a span of 24 hours, one can interact with so many people and enjoy every moment of it : )

from handling the kids in school, to meeting up and having a great time with nat, to having dinner and catching up with farand over dinner and "old people's activity" as he calls it, or coffee, to meeting up with the boys and having a really good time. Heh Kel, Dhoby and i planned to go to Villa Bali but ended up slacking at Dhoby's place coz SQ and dhoby decided they were too comfortable. so coz of the two lazy boys, we ended up hanging out at dhoby's and did random things and talked : ) was fun having SQ along coz he's one funny guy and so comfortable to be around. heh almost seems as if i've known him a lot longer than this tho this is only the 2nd time i've met him. guess with some pple u just connect with eh? : )

so i'm off to bed...haha oh n i got a new toothbrush from dhoby who insists that a good toothbrush is good enough - no need to floss. i still don't agree but oh well...haha

so i've been going back to fairfield to teach and it's been good fun : ) kids being kids have been cheeky n they try to push their boundaries and do dumb things but it's all harmless fun and u get to see all this wonderful talent and potential in each of them..but that's exactly what makes waking up at 5am worth it.

anyway, started talking to sarah and joel whom i used to teach when they were in sec 2 just about let's see now...4 years ago! its amazing how time flies and they're in jc now and all. haha knowing how great they're doing just made me feel all warm inside. haha. odd way to put it i know but its kinda like watching ur kids grow up and do well!

haha nonetheless, i still call them my kids and on msn they're grouped under "2a", "2c" and "kids" for 2e and i'll probably always refer to them as my kids tho they resent that..but some things just don't change i guess. : ) but all in all, i'm so so thankful for the chance to teach the 6mths that i did after JC. cldn't have done anything else as rewarding. : ) now i sound pro-MOE. eww.

yup ok, so i admit i did a tad bit too much shopping while i was in bangkok. my room still looks like a warzone with all my clothes and shoes and bags and earrings (ok u get my dirft) strewn all over the place..so i've sworn off shopping for the rest of the year..but this article caught my eye - "shopping for selflessness". heh figured that if i can't shop than at least i can read abt it rite? haha

it was about something much different tho, so thought i'd share it here. heh writing also helps me internalize things. so anyway, this guy was talking abt how he absolutely dreads shopping with his wife and it's really quite hilarious how much he hates it. but then he talks about how he realized it really was his own selfishness that caused him to whine and pout and make his displeasure known whenever he had to accompany his wife out shopping. he began to see that she'd made several sacrifices to do things he wanted to do without complaining or whining but he'd never noticed. so as he thought about it, and looked into the Bible, here's what he writes:

"The Bible comes down pretty hard on selfishness. Of course I've always been well aware of this. Somehow since it didn't specifically address selfishness in the context of a shopping mall, I missed the application. But the Bible's teaching on the subject is hard to miss. "Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others" (1 Cor. 10:24). "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you" (Mat. 7:12). Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. (Phil. 2:3).

Those verses nailed the problem on the head. I had a habit of putting myself before others. I could disguise this vice while I was single. Being married brought it into sharp focus. I had to change."

and so that's something i'm learning too - putting others' interests above mine. really not easy but i'm learning it in the small ways - to not grumble, to not judge, to consider others better than myself, to serve others...and to stop shopping when others got tired or bored. i'd admit that many times in bangkok i kept at it and din wanna stop and felt horrible after that, being the high D that i was in the most inappropriate way and setting possible. so i loved how this guy took something so ordinary like shopping and expounded on it coz it spoke to me so directly.

and like i was telling ade, i guess my perception of being "tied down" and "burdened" by a relationship is slowly changing as i realize increasingly that it's more an opportunity to learn to love and grow in selflessness and put others above ur own desires and will than anything else. it moves you beyond being nice and accomodating when it's convenient to something that needs to be consciosuly done.

so if ur interested to read the article for urself, u can find it at http://www.boundless.org/features/a0001027.html

heh just got back from bangkok (thanks to mich, i'll never be able to say/spell this word the same way anymore! boo u! haha) last night and shopped enough to last me the rest of the year...i really really shdn't shop anymore. so if any of u hear of me being tempted to buy smt, STOP me pls! haha.

heh ok so in line with this post's title, i must say that i really had fun getting to know ade better on our short holiday! heh i've known her pretty much all my life but we've never been close. and she's been in church for a long while now but i've never gotten down to spending one-on-one time with her. so i was glad for the opportunity this trip brought and i really had fun! heh was amazing how we function so similarly, how we drift in and out of shops at almost the same pace, give such decisive "not nice, don't buy" or "she's ripping u off, let's go" kinda advice to each other. more significantly, i'm glad for the conversations we had while frankie and mindy were sleeping in the cab or smt..it's not everyday that u clique with someone and can talk so freely. so thanks ade, for listening, probing, praying, and keeping me accountable abt things. :) guess this is the real start of a great friendship eh? : )

then met up with my chi girls this afternoon for lunch and just lounging around at lishy poo's place. heh as always, the food was fantastic, but the company even better. love how every wk we meet, our numbers increase! : ) i'm glad sam's back!!

heh was grilled the minute i stepped in on whether i'd done my task. u girls sure are merciless! anyway, was hilarious how our conversation progressed one notch further to include talking abt having kids! seriously girls...how'd we get past things pple our age shd be talking about to things like gout, high blood pressure, having kids before we're 30 and all?! haha but it's just awesome how despite time and distance spent apart, when we meet, we have such amazingly candid, real, and honest talks. can't wait till next mon when hopefully ana can join us, and the wk after when we meet up with the chi boys.

had dinner with with lav and jac later this evening and it was nice. was soooo much fun catching up on each others' lives and i can't remember when was the last time we laughed sooo much. was just like the old times when the 3 of us had countless sleep over's at jac's just talking abt stuff without the boys. was telling lav after that that it's so amazing how we picked up from where we last left off and it really didn't feel as if jac was gone for an entire yr! guess it's the mark of real friendships eh? or as lav put it, these are the best kinds of friendships ever.

so all in all, tonite's post is really about friends and how much they mean to me. Chi - my best take out of RJ and Chindia - my best take out of NUS. : ) i thank God for friends like these. : ) they're real gems i say.

photos up later..
off to bed for me now. heh gotta be up at 5am to teach tmr. boo! haha but at least it'll help my ailing bank account. heh

off to bed for me now. heh gotta be up at 5am to teach tmr. boo! haha but at least it'll help my ailing bank account. heh

woppee! i'm flying off to bangkok in an hour for the weekend and will be home monday.

heh i'm so thankful that most of our accomodation is settled. only confirmed our accom for tonite last nite or rather early this morning...heh was telling dhoby and lav how it felt like the night before we flew off to india all over again. except that i'm hoping and praying that our room tonite is nothing like the place we found ourselves in on the first night we were in Delhi.

anyway, so i've decided that for this trip, i wanna REST, shop (i know the two don't quite seem to go), get to know and enjoy my time with frankie, mindy and ade, and spend good quality time with God. the last two weeks of waking up at 5am to go teach has really taken a toll on the time spent in the morning with Him. So i really wanna get that back on track. heh only this time, won't have dhoby to wake me up in the morning to do so like in india...and i actually think i'm the lightest sleeper and earliest waker in this group so i'll be waking the rest up. though i may be proven wrong. haha we'll see. : )

tues nite is now chi girls nite. haha met the chi girls for dinner again last nite..we're not back in full strength yet but we're workind towards it. hear that sam just got back, know anamika bagchi will be home soon (woohoooo! can't wait!) and claire's enjoying herself silly in the US : )

went out to clark quay and had a fantabulous dinner at brewerkz. ok so the chicken quesadilla wasn't so good but the rest of it was! forgot to take pics coz we were so hungry. heh and lazy.

anyway, so dinner conversation was lovely as usual. for the 2nd time running, our conversation drifted onto the marriage track and it was freaky. realized that we're growing up and these conversations were exactly what we anticipated when we were 18 and how we just laughed them off coz they seemed so far off and now they're...kinda real. haha more real for some.

but i think what i took away was how much we love each other and how we've past the stage of saying what is politically correct to what is brutally honest and at times, piercing. heh speaking the truth in love never held such meaning. i loved how mich said to sheena, "woman, u are so lucky to have friends who love u and tell u these things!" and i thot...gee, that's so true!

so sheena and i were given "assignments" as the evening drew to an end. heh sheena baby, are u working on it? have u even gotten down to thinking about stuff? i'll admit i haven't...tho i shd. u too ok? (heh i'm assuming ur reading this, u know, since u ARE the first chi to reach my blog. grin)

really, u girls are the best thing that came out of rj. lookin' forward to chilling at lish's next tues : ) are we cooking?

ok just a quickie coz daddy's picking me up to go for coffee in a bit.

so i made it through the day! grin. haha not like i didn't expect to just that i didn't know how i would. had lessons from 745-215 straight with an hr break in between and i was told i'd be getting classes that were tough to handle and all. and i was sent like 3 pages long of instructions of what to do with the classes at midnite last nite which added to the stress. heh. but by God's grace, it went well and i pulled thru. heh on 4.5 hrs of sleep too at that! what can i say? God really is good. : ) so this is yet another declaration of dependence ; )

heh ok so i'm proud to announce that toille can cook. and he's way exceeded expectations too!
he surprised us by being late..i mean he surprised us with what he whipped up! haha tho he confesses that he didn't keep to the oath fully and got some help frm his dad. nonetheless, so it is true that this boy's got the ability to cook in his genes.

here's what he made.

brushetta : ) heh nat and i enjoying the fare. and yes, we're still alive and kicking. not one bit sick : ) yummilicious i say. and here's evidence of how good it was : )

heh yup...so that rounds it up. well done toille! thanks for putting in all that effort - from thinking what to make, to walking to cold storage, to waking up early to make bfast and presenting it wonderfully! couldn't have asked for more. haha nat, ur turn next : )

ok..so nat, toille and i are meeting to discuss cg stuff tmr morning and nat and i came up with a brilliant idea! *grin*

we decided that since nat and i will be at the gym before our meeting, and since toille is a self-professed cook, that he shall make us breakfast tmr!! woohoo!

heh so we sat him down very seriously and told him just that. and i made him take a "breakfast oath" that went something like "I, Elliot Tan Wei Ming, hereby promise to make breakfast for all three of us tomorrow morning. It shall be edible, hygenic, hopefully tasteful and safe for consumption. I shall endeavour to make in my own; not my dad, nor my mom. and whatever i make, i will eat too." hahaha and here's proof that binds toille to it!

heh and then the boy msgs me and tells me he's on his way to cold storage to buy groceries! how sweet : ) haha and how he thot only parents did such things...heh so toille, this post is for u coz of the amount of potential you show to be the perfect guy for any girl in the future. heh see! being in core team trains u in life skills too! grin. looking forward to what u whip up tmr! : )

quote of the day:

"if you haven't already realized that it's youth weekend, you must have by the doxology."
- Pastor Ivan.

haha can't remember who's initiative it was but i think our version of the doxology rocked! : ) well done youth band and choir!

heh ok so it's been one massively long day and i'm pooped.
finished up my wk of relief teaching and was asked to go back and be a "regular relief teacher" as funny as that sounds. haha

anyway, so met my chindia peeps for supper and the boys got stuck in a horrible jam coz they turned into the lane heading towards JB instead of woodlands when they were on their way to pick lav and i up frm woodlands mrt station. heh so by time we got picked up, it was almost 11pm and we headed for the Yacht club to watch the match btw germany and argentina. heh and towards the end, these indian guys behind us started getting drunk and saying things and got really out of line. so we decided to leave - after 90 mins of play time and 30 mins of extra time just before the penalty shoot out! bleah.

heh so we left and resorted to tuning in to 97.2 to attempt to follow the match but it was in chinese and lav was lost and btw andrew, dhoby and i, we cldn't quite catch what they were saying! "er bi yi! qui zhen hao!...." haha yah u get my drift - we had no idea what was going on! so finally we pulled up along this coffeeshop to watch germany put in their 5th goal. : ) ok so i'm really not much of a soccer fan but smt abt watching it with good company makes it really fun!

oh then so we were making our way back to dhoby's car and we were caught in an entire throng of pple leaving at the same time. strangely there were all these indian men ard us again and as they unlocked their bicycles and rode past us or brushed past us, we cldn't help but feel like we were back in india! it was hilarious i tell u! kinda unexplainable but yah...and spending time with andrew, lav and dhoby again made me miss our 2 wks there once again. haha
