Post exam activities!

Woo! Finally after those grueling days of studying and stressing myself, I'm all set for the holidays ahead! It's gonna be a great holiday because I am not intending to get a job! haha!

1. First thing on my mind, I'm all geared to planning Renewal's bo.ga.me! (board games day) and our church camp! I'm getting really excited for these events and it will be really fun planning them! :)

2. Time to get rid of some resistant fats... I miss swimming & jogging. I'm not really good in either, but it's just the satisfactory that I get after indulging in some healthy activities. And of cuz imagining that I'm a tiny bit lighter. haha! Well well, actually I just like being sweaty at times.

3. Oh yea, spring cleaning. 'Our house is like a garbage house!' That's what my grandma says every time. And I seriously think it's true. So I have decided! I am determine to clean up my house, keep it neat and tidy. I spent my 3 whole days of my previous week, concentrating on cleaning up just ONE bedroom. And guess what?! I threw away like 3 big bags of rubbish! Imagine, one big bag is as big as the black garbage bag that we always see in those rectangular big rubbish bin. Incredible! :O haha! So this week, it's time for my own room before I move on to the living room, the (AWWW!) kitchen, the toilet and bathroom! I think that will certainly keep me occupied for another month...

4. Of cuz, I love spending time at home. Once on a bus with WenQi, I was commenting on how similar his siblings are to him. And he said something which sounds intelligent to me. "It's more fun to have a noisier home." What he meant wasn't that quarrelling/chaotic noise but the talking, laughing, poking each other kinda noise. I would certainly agree with him. My family the kind that we'll talk and talk (a lot!). haha! But i love it especially when i'm not having exams. I would talk to my bro, tease him and play along with him, chat with my mum about anything, and we'll all laugh at my little toddler cousin when she does interesting things. A kid certainly liven up everything in a family. :)

5. More time to just r.e.l.a.x...

:) God is good, always. pre-exam period, exam period, post-exam period... always...

The Lord is my strength, my refuge and my source of joy...

Counting my blessings

The most effective way to happiness is to count your blessings.
Thank God...

1. I live in the middle of the buzzling city.
All the convenience and hustle-free moments, how can i forget?
I can walk to Cathay and catch a movie in the middle of the night; I can fulfil my urge of shopping just in 5 minutes at Bugis Junction; I can cross the road to SimLim and get my printer inks; etc.

2. I live in a 3-room flat with so many people!
That makes us talk to each other and spend time with each other more. Love it when all of us sit tgt and get amused by our baby cousin.

3. I have all I need
I don't have a lot of money, but by God's grace, I have my laptop, my clothes, my sleeping place, my own table and many more. I am fully fed and was never starved. I can enjoy many outings without much difficulties.

4. I have a bunch of heart-to-heart best buddies, which are REBELS!
Known them since Sec1, and never want to get out of this fun and heart-warming group of friends. They never fail to invite me to outings even after receiving tons of my decline due to church. Whenever we meet, we always have never ending stuff to talk about. They will understand my problems and sms me now and then to comfort me and encourage me. And I know if I ever need a friend, I can have 9 of them to rely on. :) rebels rocks!

5. Of course, my lovely boyfriend.
He looks rather fierce and is bad-tempered at times, but if you look beyond all that, he is actually a very gentle guy. His fantastic points: good sense of direction, understanding, spontaneity, fun-loveliness, good planning, sensitivity and etc. Often we spend time together, reminiscence about our childhood and doing things that we like. For example, going to the arcade as if we are little children, sitting in a cafe and reading our own books, shopping in a supermarket, eating deserts behind Bugis Junction, me riding on his bike and going to many places, etc.

6. my beautiful teens cell.
I still remember the first time I met all of them. I really didn't know what to do because I was still so lost getting back from Shui. They were not exactly gelled tgt very well at that time. Sharing time was hard. But gradually, I begin to feel for the cell, to start praying fervently for them. And I see changes happening. Little by little, hurdle by hurdle, my cell begins to grow. Not exactly in numbers, (but we do have some visitors now and then) but in spirit. They mature and begin to understand things. They begin to opwn up and share things that the cell can pray for tgt. They are often my reason for smiling.

7. my tuition kids
They're really smart. But careless. haha! Nellis, Xuanyun(ex-tuition kid) and Andrew, you're doing great in your studies. I love to teach them, whenever they 'get it', I feel so satisfied. :) Tutoring is tiring especially during my exam period which is also theirs as well, but I truly feel happy whenever they know how to do the sums. Brilliant!

The list can go on and on... But all in all, it is God that I want to say Thank You! Because of You, all these blessings are made possible. Because of You, I have joy, not just happiness, overflowing out of me, no matter what I face. :)

You are the best!
