| So funny to be looking through all the ex-blog posts with Suaidah in class! Remind us of our (individual) secondary school lifes, our poly life, and our own personal life.
How colourful we were in our posts, how childish the way we wrote those posts, etc.
And coincidentally, Chloe was wearing the same shirt and bottom NOWWWWWW as what she wore during class chalet 2 years back! Amazing green, and seductive face! (Typed by SU)!

| Yes, I know it's been long since I posted a new entry. There are a few drafts that aren't posted up and I don't know how to find them from the website through phone. Hahahah! Computer having some sort of problems, and I hope that it'd be resurrected soooon! It's happened before, and I hope it will be alright! Hahaha! Just really thankful for the people around me, how blessed I am. :D It's been great meeting new people, and I hope that somehow the relationships will be built up. It takes two to clap. So, don't just think a relationship can be build up/strengthen just by the power of one party. If you're facing something, yet you're not 'willing/able' to make a decision to help yourself out of it, then you cannot blame anyone for not supporting you. People around you have been encouraging you, and because they love you, they are at the risk of 'entering depression' together with you. They can do so much to want to help you, but the clear decision lies within yourself. Saw this quote from someone, "You are your problem, and you are your solution." How true it is...?! I know you may not even get to see this post, but that's just whatever I wanna say. Anyway, this is just like a random post 'cos I feel like typing something out and look through the blog! P.S. 和平的代价 is showing now, and I think it's a really awesome show!!!!!! Posted via m.livejournal.com. | |

| There's something that others see, but you don't see. There's something that you see, but others don't see. Everyone of us will see different things, have different perspectives, different views/opinions to whatever stuffs. Everyone of us will most likely think and feel differently as to how others may think and feel. It is never easy to see things from someone else's perspective, yet, if you put in the effort, i think it is possible to see still. But, what I really wanna say is about 'judging'. We shouldn't judge someone just because of what you hear, or what you see. This is because you'll never know what that someone is going through/facing. There's always something deeper. Don't just look at the top part.
LOOK DEEPER. FEEL DEEPER. THINK DEEPER.
But yet, as humans, we always say "Seeing is believing", but to me, yes, it is true to a certain extent. But oh well....... It takes feelings, understanding, interpretation, discernment, etc to really be able to understand all these. Sometimes, people share just a part of a story, not letting you know everything. Or maybe even the person sharing it with you don't even really know what's the whole truth. Do we look at all these with half-hearted belief? Or do you truly want to believe everything that's said? But, with half-hearted belief, we're gonna live such a miserable life, because there's no someone or 'something' that you can fully trust....? Anw, to cut everything short, i think these 2 guys are super cool, super talented, and super interesting! I think they are like ...... WOW. Just look from 2:00 onwards, the front part just him talking. | |

This has been bothering me for a period of time already. Knowing the truth has caused so much disappointment and worries and whatever.
The sermon just now during the Family Service just hit me even more.
Yes, the love of a father is great. To reduce the burdens of his kids, he cleared everything off. He worked sooooooo hard to clear it all away.
But yet, because of one of the his kids' 'immaturity', the father sort of lost everything, and what that kid did even caused additional problems to the family. His wife may even bring the child and go somewhere else. Then what will happen to this family?
No doubt that 'kid' was someone I admired and really respected, but now, whatever he's doing now, I really feel that it's such a...... disappointment? He showers us, his ........................ with so much love, yet to his most immediate family, what has he been doing? What has he been thinking? What are his priorities now?
Maybe he's lost all hope to life. Maybe he's lost all goals in living. Maybe he's just lost all direction in life; not knowing what he wants. Maybe he's just got to see the light. | |

| (I've been wanting to post about this, but didn't really get it started! It somehow hit on me so greatly!) What does a smile mean to you? Is it something for you to do, because you are told to do so? it something meant to express 'something'? According to dictionary.com, the definitions of 'smile' are as follows: - verb (used without object) 1. to look pleased, amused, etc. - noun 2. smiling facial expression And for 'smile at', it means:
- verb phrase 1. to regard with pleasure or amusement, as with a smile - 2. to regard with mild derision
However, to me, a smile is a really powerful thing! It can be such an encouraging force to someone that it lifts the spirit and mood up! Sometimes it can just be something that is so positive to someone!
It hit on me so greatly because of 2 persons, a domestic helper, and a child. A domestic helper has to leave her country to come to work in another foreign land. Just imagine being away from your family, hometown and country for a long period of time. Sometimes, a smile of friendliness and openness can bring such great joy to them.
How about towards a kid? Yes, a kid may not experience so much things/whatsoever. But it is the trueness and pureness in them that is just so....... real(?). But, it was the smile of the kid that encouraged me, and lifted my spirit up!
(These two above situations came upon me on the same day.)
In addition, even just now, when I was buying my lunch, this guy who just finished buying and was leaving, just smiled at me, I could feel that kind of light-hearted joy and friendliness. At first I was still thinking if I knew him or not, was he someone I forgotten, but then I realised, he's just being very friendly!
Seriously, to me, I feel that no matter how hard life is for you, i just wanna encourage you to smile, to laugh, to be positive, because there's no point in being negative, and dwelling in self-pity, because doing these will just bring everything down. A smile, a laugh can not only just encourage yourself, but also others!
Remember, someone can be so impacted by your smile today, that their lives may just change because your smile has touched their hearts! | |

| The first expo service was my first time stepping into church. It was where I have known Christ, and where I have grown up. It had been an awesome 5 years. Thank you very much.
Although I'll have to leave the east (Expo) to go to the town area (SUNTEC!!), i'm really excited for it! I'll be looking forward to so much more things! :D New place, new breakthroughs! Greater things have yet to come!
TO WHOM WILL I GO, THERE'S NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU ALONE. :):):):) | |

| Okay, I realised it's been a long time since I came to livejournal. Since I'm unable to get anything done at this current moment, I shall come and talk crap. HAHAH.
Well, seriously, I'm soooo looking forward to April, because I am finally going overseas, finally going to take a plane, and finally doing it on my own without any help from my family and it's doing something that I have always desired! :DD Isn't that just soooooo awesome!
And i'm proud that so far, i haven't ask anything from my parents about this, and i hope i won't AT ALL! I hope that this is gonna be something that will show them that I am independent, and that it will be something that'll change my life, my mindset!
:D:D:D
Excited, but not so for exams. Yet, I can't wait for exams to be over! - Mood:excited

| Well, just felt like talking about this that has been bothering me. Maybe talking it out here will be better. People who've overcame it and read this post, you are more than WELCOME to share your experience with me! :)
P.S. It's rather rare that I share my weaknesses here ah! Hahhah! (I wanna do italics here, but it failed 'cos I'm using phone ah! Sorry! Haha!)
On the surface, I may appear to be someone who is very bubbly, fun, or easy to talk to. However, there is this fear that is obstructing me in whatever I'm doing/wanting to do right now.
Yes, I am taking baby steps to slowly breakthrough from it with the grace of God, but this takes times. So, whoever who are 'involved', I hope you can be patient, and give me time.
Relationships got to be deeper and stronger, for openness and trust to come in. So, let's take a step more, for the relationships to grow, get deeper, and stronger! :D
Indeed, being a leader, the connection to the people who are with you is important. It impacts and affects how much the people with you can open up and share with you.
As leaders, let's not feel pressured if your people are not changed, and are still in their own 'world'. They need to experience and have a revelation on who God is, where God wants them to be, and how God is going to change them.
And yes, love. It's something that is simple, but it's complicated by us humans. We are called to love others just as how He loved us. But, because of the wrong source of love for some people, their love tanks may not have been filled fully, and therefore, there isn't an overflowing outpour of love to other people around you. God is love. Here is love, poured out so freely. Here is love, that captivated all of me.
Okay, I'm going off-topic again. Hahaha!
In this phase of life now, I'm having lots of thoughts running around. They are like "YES" and "NO" coming altogether, and decisions are to be made. It's either STEP OUT or STAY IN YOUR COMFORTABLE ZONE.

| It can be so easy to say you ............ . However, when it comes to expressing it, it gives me a very deep thought on people.
Do people do it for show, for earning the respect for those that they did it for show or what? Or, it seriously came from the heart?
It just gives me a very 'scary' feeling. If people don't do it for the right purpose or the not for real, it's just so fake.
Well well. | |
