Ouch!!!

I fell down last nite... Been quite long since I fell down n it was quite bad... I missed my step n landed at the bottom of the steps on my left knee... A big bump there now... And blue black... Haiz...

But thank God I was wearing pants... It did protect my knee a little...
Thank God I managed to land on the flat ground cos I miss the 3rd or 4th step of that flight of steps... (> 10 I think)...
Thank God I wasnt bleeding or what, just blue black... Hahaha...

I got to be more careful... Walk slower... Muz bao chi xing xiang... Hahaha...

Ken was just saying muz really be careful... Cos now older le... Body cannot take falls that well... N next time if I'm pregnant... OH NO!!! Hahahaha... But I'm ok le... Dun touch my knee, it stills hurts... Oh ya, cant kneel now... :(

What's next?

Hmmmmm... It doesnt feel much different now that I'm engaged... Hahaha... Next the more practical things to get started... Next up will be applying flat... 4 room one... Then maybe a change in career... Hahaha... A more enjoyable, more relaxed and balanced one... I pray i can find one... Hee.... Update soon, tired... Just reached home not long... ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Proposal 20052008...

Ok, my last post was supposed to be unknown to those who do not know... But seeing that Ken has already disclosed it... I shall not hide it anymore...

After 10 years, 3 months n 10 days of courtship... Ken proposed to me yesterday... Yep, this was the SMS which I sent to Shaun when she asked abt it... Think it summarises everything that happened... Yep, for a more interesting version, check out Ken's blog... He's a storyteller... Hahaha...

"Ha.. He apparently planned it long ago.. Asked me take leave n go in wif him. I thought norm practice, so went with him. Then asked me go into the hangar to help him take photos. Then aft checkin the plane everything, he told me he got licence le, n going to take me up. So I went up with him lo. Didn't suspect anything cos everythin happened too fast. So went up n flew to an island. On way there gt a little lost, then the plane's transponder nt workin. Asked me to help him take a gps system fr his bag. I jus dug it out fr his bag cos he was really lost. But when I saw celestial on the box, I realised.. Yep, so he asked me open. Then he popped the qn lo. Then I told him ya. Ha.. Then he flew back n landed. Didn't kneel at all la. He said muz come back spore then wear the ring, cos scared nt safe. So he put it on for me over dinner table at ps foodcourt lo.. Then he went leader's meetin n I went home.. Yep."

So yeah, the photos n videos taken that day are with Ken... I only took some photos of the ring just now... Hee...

The ring in its box...

Close-up of the ring...

MY RING on my finger...

Yep... I think pictures speak louder than words, so yep... I'm engaged... Hahaha... It feels so weird to say that... Well, wedding not so soon, dear muz find a job and we muz find a flat 1st... So if u wanna come for our wedding, so keep in touch n send me your contacts!!! Hahaha... We can start compiling our guest list... Relatives, RV, SA, Ex CG ppl, current CG ppl, future CG ppl, CHCN ppl, CHCS ppl, pri sch frens??? Wa!!! Seems daunting... Hahaha...

Mr Teo did it again...

Surprise! Hahaha... He stunned me again... Been spending lots of time with him these couple of days cos on 4 days long holiday... Refused to work... Hahaha.... After I offed my laptop on Fri nite, I have yet to touch it. I know that there are lots of work waiting for me tml. But who cares, let's enjoy life... Need a balance man... 4 mths of peak period has been long and suffocating... Let's take things at a slower pace now... Hahaha...

So we went to Msia today... Ken was going to fly, I thought it was for practice, then for his test soon... Who knows that he has already gotten his licence in Feb!!! Haiyo... Been kept in the dark for more than 2 months+... So he took me up for a ride... Hahaha... His 1st passenger... It was real interesting... Not that scary la, but the sudden drop in altitude was like the jurong east that irritating hump.

Sidetrack: One way to combat that hump is to breathe out when the vehicle is moving down. It helps to reduce that heart throbbing feeling...

So when Ken descended or met with slight turbulence, that was the feeling, and it was unexpected, and I couldnt be breathing out all the time... So it was quite scary... But other than that, it was quite fun la... Hee... My dear is a pilot!!! Hahaha... He flew me up n alone up there!!! Yep... So was an experience la...

Then he stunned me up there with a 'GPS system'... Nice starry one some more... Hahaha... Then I landed with another surprise... 2 supporters from Spore were there too... Hahaha... Thanks for coming down!!! Hee...

Yep, will elaborate more on wat happened when the time is ripe... Heh...

Yep after which, we went city square to catch a movie... What happened in Las Vegas... Interesting... Hahaha... N ate n ate n ate... Think the 2 sporean supporters were shocked at the amount of things we ate today... Hahaha... But didnt shop la, cos we're going bkk soon!!! Heh...

For those who helped plan today, thanks for all your help... I really didnt expect it and am thoroughly surprised... Yep...

On the way back, i was just thinking abt all the things which had happened... Amazing... In the past 10 years, it has been eventful courtship... God has brought the 2 of us together and been in the centre for the past 8 years... He is the one sustaining our relationship and gave me revelations that Ken is the one for me... Telling me to hold onto this r/s no matter what happens...

Ken has been really sweet and a great support in the things which I need to do. Even though he does not really understand how I feel each day as I go to work, but he always encourages me to press on. He always cheers me up when i am down. He is always there for me when I need someone to talk to. He's always so good looking, even when he just wakes up. He was with me through my happiest moments and saddest moments. He is like a part of me. I've grown to be so dependent on him that I cant live without him. He is the strength behind me. He protects me. When i feel afraid or tired, I know I can always find rest in his embrace... Just an amazing man, one who is God fearing and faithful. In the whole 10 years + that we're together, he has nvr been unfaithful. I know his love for me is true. And i live each day thanking God for him. Dear, you're the best man one can ever ask for... I love you... :) Muacks, hugs... Hee...

Mothers...

Mother's Day was last week... There were many thoughts I had about that special day, but havent ahd time to blog... Now... I shall record them down... I was serving on the sat svc for that weekend cos sp had a friend... Realised that the whole place was so packed that ppl were sitting on the steps...

1) Mothers gel the family together...
When they come for svc, the whole family comes together. That's why there was an overwhelming crowd that day. Compared to other big days, where we invite our friends to come, usually the friend will come alone. But on mother's day, when mothers are invited, the whole family comes, or should I say the whole clan comes...

Similarly, in Ken's family... We usually meet for dinner with Kel n Er on Sun nite. However, everytime his mom goes overseas, we will all settle dinner on our own... So this is another example of mothers geling the family together.

2) Mothers' mood determine the mood of the family
Xing was sharing with me that in his family, when his mom is in good mood, everything in the house will run smoothly. And everyone will be in good mood too, the converse is also true. This set me thinking. In my family, when my mom is worried abt certain things, she will begin to talk abt it to everyone else in the family and set us worrying as well. When she's happy, the same thing happens. So basically, mothers have the strongest influence in the 'culture' of a family. Cos they set the envt n mood of the family.

3) Mothers understand what you need and want without being told
There exists a special bond between mother and child. There is no need for explicit communication; mothers know and understand what her child is going through and her maternal instincts will just come to play and she will provide the right solution to the problem. It might be the right kind of medication to treat certain symptoms. A phone call at the right moment. A hug at the right time of the day. Anything. Mothers know best...


Last Mother's Day sat, I had a vision sharing with my connect group cos I come to realised that we're going no where... So we're going to touch one life at a time and in our CG, it's a place where lives will nvr be the same again. I shared with them the urgency in reaching out, impacting our mktplace... So that day after svc, I reached home n felt so challenged. I took out the pink invitation card n wrote an appreciation note to my mom... And also gave the pink heart shaped cookie which Rach gave me aft svc to my mom...

I think she was touched... But I really feel that mothers are the bestest ppl ard. She is someone so great, someone whom God has placed in every family to provide and care for the family. To ensure that everything runs smoothly in a family. To teach the children to grow up with the right attitudes... We always say "ni ma ma mei you jiao ni..." So mothers have been stereotyped to be the 'teachers' of their children over the history of mankind... So I wanna salute all mothers... You're the best!!! :)

My Upcoming Bkk Trip...

Reasons why I wanna go Bkk...

1) Nvr been to thailand b4...
2) It's sinking!!!
3) Near but not that near...
4) Shopping Paradise???

Hahaha... Wanted to write a little update on the trip... I'll be leaving on 4th nite and back on 11th nite... 7days la... A week to BKK is a little long, but I think with the ppl I going with, it'll be alright... Rach agreed to entertain us if we're going to be bored... Heh...

Yep, so on 4th after we touched down at BKK, we'll take a cab to Pattaya... I thinking how we're going to squeeze all our luggages into the cab la??? But we'll work something out la... Yep, so Pattaya... We'll be staying in this hotel called Jomtien Thani... It's quite a nice hotel... We decided to stay on Jomtien Beach cos it's cleaner... Away from the red light district... Hahaha... Yep, wanna go go-kart there... Then have checked out some tour agents' brochures... They all go to this island called Coral Island... So maybe we can go check it out also... Yep... Then got the seafood there which Ken said it's great... So eating n playing...

We'll head over to BKK on 6th, friday after breakfast at Jomtien Thani... Read reviews that the breakfast range is great. So am going to make sure I eat lots!!! Hahha... Make my money worth man...

Yep in BKK, we'll stay in Grand Watergate hotel... It's abt 200m off the main road, diagonal to Asia hotel, same plot of land as Baiyoke hotels... Not a very high end hotel, but we're only paying S$17.50 pax per nite, so cant complain much... But hopefully it's ok... So yep...

Havent planned the itinery... I think can leave to the ppl who finished exams to plan rite? Cos they more free.... I gt so many jobs on hand now that i have no mood to go do research... Cos it makes me more wanting to leave straight away... Hahaha... Yep, so those more eng ppl go plan kk? Hahhaa...

Congrats to Meng!!! You made it thru...

Congrats to Ken!!! You'll make it thru too...

The bug got me...

Got gastric flu today... Mild one... Thank God... So yep, cant take all those exciting, delicious food... Haiz...

Woke up this morning before my alarm clock rang... With pains like gastric pain... Wanted to go get MC, but thot needed to bring my staff down to client's... Reached office n realised I sotong... The job supposed to start next week la? Faints... So went to the doc who gave me a MC n 2 medicines...

But need to finish up the loads n loads of work not completed yet... Haiz... So stressed, no wonder body cant take it...

A pillar

I finished Pst Ulf's 'Our Holy Calling' finally... There's one part which really touched me... He mentioned something about being a pillar in the church... Pillars have a different calling. They exist and are there without people around realising. But they are vital to support the church. Without them, the church wont exist. It's true physically, it's also true spiritually... And also on a smaller scale at the cell group level...

A cg needs to have pillars who will support the functioning of a cg. The pillars are there day n nite, rain or shine, without any words of complain... Just hoping for more pillarts to be built so that the burden is lighter... And when there are more pillars, the weight which can be supported also increases... And one day, when the number of pillars increase n increase til the pillars no longer feel the burden, then it's time to multiply. Conquer new grounds...

Just came back from CG. Really touched by the presence of God... Felt the hunger renewed... Been feeling so drained recently cos of work... So thank God for a great meeting just now... Hee... Going to read my bible le... Needa catch up tons man... Rach is going to kill me le... Hahaha...

Send your mighty wind
Renew this life within

Spirit of God fall down
Fall with your fire and power from high
Ignite in me again
Our hearts live in Your name
Spirit of God fall down
Pour as your rain revive us now
Restore our lives and quench these thirsty souls... ...

Great day ahead... Exciting times... Living from faith to faith... Faith robbers, get out of my life... I'm going to protect my spiritual walk... Feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep... Not the goats!!! Hahaha... So the lambs n the sheeps will be full n taken care of... God touch me, use me, empower me, enlarge me, guide me, lead me, use me, move thru me... I give my life in exchange for all of you... I love you Lord...
