Hey ppl... I'm at the airport now... Walking ard til it's time to get on the plane... Chanced upon this place that has free terminals for internet access so decided to bid farewell to all before I leave...
This is really the 1st time that I am taking a plane - SQ plane on my own, hmmmm, with one other gal la... But I decided to not meet her before this... Try out doing things on my own... Yep... Am proud of myself... Left home on my own, took bus to the station and then train all the way here... Checked in my luggage... And later, I'll go board the plane on my own... Wished that my friends are here with me, but well, one has to learn to be independent... Heh...
So yep... This year has indeed been an interesting year... And it doesnt end here... I've went to bkk, batam, bintan and also msia in this year... And now to manila... Although it's all still in SEA, but i think this is the 1st time i've left the country so many times... Ken keeps saying that these are not considered chu guo... But well, I think he's jealous... Hahaha... Yeah... So to all my friends, do take care of one another and dun miss me...
it's really a very short trip... back on fri nite... Yep... So do help me take care of Ken... I think he'll be bored... Jio him out and pei him kk? Thanks guys... See ya soon...
this keyboard not nice to use... my wrist very tired... bye...

Brokenness before growth
Finally managed to find some time to blog abt this before I fly off again... Last fri zone meeting, Jeremy shared something so simple what yet so true... Some takeaways from the meeting...
1) How to keep the fire always burning?
A) Word -- Revelation
B) Prayer
C) Holy Spirit
D) Mixing ard with more spiritual ppl (ppl of faith)
2) Where will the church be in 10 years time?
100,000 members worshipping in a stadium...
How can we reach there? We need to grow...
Growth STOPS when all of us become inward looking and self-centered. We cannot allow that to happen. We got to care abt others! How can we overcome inward looking and self-centeredness???
BROKENNESS
A heart that is broken by the grace of God... Having the fear of God.
Cos... ...
Without brokenness, you cannot
1) release the presence of God within you
2) touched by the presence of God
3) be used mightily by God
Make a decision today... That you'll be a steward of your talents and skills given to you by Abba Father... Let the love and generosity flow out of you... Only when the vessel is broken that the fragrance can fill the room... Come before God broken... That without Him, you are nothing and can do nothing... Yes, without Him, I'll lose the purpose of living...

Bintan Trip...
Yep yep... I just came back from my Bintan trip... We stayed in Bintan Lagoon Resort... It was quite relaxing... But the wet weather did dampen our spirits a little and the things which we could do was limited by it... But I slept very well there... The bed was real comfy... too bad i only to to sleep for a nite... Hahaha... I got a room to myself cos my roomie couldnt go as she couldnt finish her work in time for the meeting on Mon...
And weird was that I stayed in 3143... Level 3 of the east wing... I was the only gal in my group staying in the '1' side and only person in the group in the east wing staying on level 3... The rest were mostly on level 4. But I took care of myself well... Hee... Double locked my door everytime I reached back... So am very safe... Hahaha... See photos taken of my room...
View of my room from the front door...
View of my room from the backdoor...
The comfy beds...
The chatting area...
My bathtub...
My toilet...
View of my room with the curtains pulled back...
The 'balcony' area from inside my room...
View from my room's balcony?
Really liked my room, the blue bedsheets and all... The beach was on the other side of the corridor... So I didnt get the beach view, but i took a photo of it while walking to the lobby area for breakfast... Really nice view... But this photo doesnt do justice to it though... Well I took it with my hp... Didnt bring my cam there mah... Heh...
View of the beach from the hotel lobby level...
It was wet wet wet weather when we reached in the afternoon... Couldnt do much, we went to the villa to play games, indoor games, gt to know the ppl better... Yep... Thank God the sun came out on Sun morn so that we could play some beach games... We played captain's ball then beach volley... I dun like volley so didnt play that... I played the captain's ball.. was the one standing on the chair... Our team won!!! Hahaha... We had Jeremy and Ling Teck in our team, they're tall... Hahaha... Anyway, I fell off the chair at the start of the game and landed on the sand... Hahaha... But am ok... I lost my balance while reaching for the ball... Kekeke... Well, it's not that easy standing on a chair put into the sand on the beach lo... And with tall defender standing rite in front of u, it's dangerous... And when they accidentally kick ur chair... Woh... Dangerous man... Hahaha... But had fun... Although it was only 4 min... But our ppl were so tired after it... Too unhealthy le... Hahaha... Thank God I was assigned to stand on the chair... Hee... Dun needa run around... Wahahaha...
Then we washed out and checked out... I went over to my friend's room... The '0' rooms, the west wing... Their rooms more Zen... I dun think i'll go back there... Though the rooms are nice and all, but the hotel was quite inflexible... Didnt allow us to book bus in to bring us out... And with the rain, there was nothing to do... And the cab out costs $22! so ex... I feel Batam more worth it... Heh... Anyway, see photos taken below...
Room 1011...
From the backdoor...
Another angle...
Yep, we then booked a cab and went to pasar ole ole... Cos it seems to be the only shopping place ard... But it started raining and pouring again... Quite sian... But ok la... Last few hrs le... so muz maximise it... Think we took the ferry back and went home straight... too tired le... Reached home washed up and zzzzzzzzzzzzz..... Hee... And today is a brand new week... :)
Next post will be on the Fri zone meeting... Didnt have time to blog abt it before I left... Powerful meeting... Those who didnt managed to go... It's such a waste... sad...

How to keep the fire burning???
In every relationship, it's easy to let the fire burn out... But it's impt to let it continue to burn and ever stronger each passing day... Til the day when u pass away... This applies to relationships bet girl n boy n also bet man n God... It's the same... It takes commitment and great love... But the reward is sweet...
It saddens me to see ppl breakup or backslide cos the fire is no longer there... There are times in relationships that u just feel like giving up, feel like you dun want to put in any more effort cos u dun see the reward... But u muz rem that the reward is sweet... It's a journey together... In tough times, you gt to cling onto each other closer and walk thru it together. We all know that tough times is not forever, it's temporary and wat's best is that at the end of the day, you'll be closer with ur partner!
Press on! Persevere on! Hang on! The reward is near... :)

Bad habits movie review
I went to watch this movie last nite alone... Thank God I went alone and paid only $6. Hahaha... An artistic movie... And it started on time... I was a little late and missed a bit of the intro... but ok la, still managed to understand the story... And it was not in English!!! I also dunno wat language, but was just reading the subtitles...
It's mainly abt the story abt a nun... Mainly abt the life when she was in the church... She prayed to God... But her concept is so wrong la... She prayed for God to heal, to stop the rain... Then she torture herself to show God her sincerity... She drank vinegar, ate food with lots of salt, ate trash then fasted til she was warded... Haiyo... My God heals, but not by works... It's by faith! And it's God's sovereignity whether a person will be healed or nt; or whether the rain will stop or not... So wrong man... I pray that ppl in the theatre will know that this is not the way God moves...
Then at the same time there was a plump little girl whose mom is super skinny and she was made to lose wt, cos her mom found her too fat. They went to lots of clinics, paid lots but the gal is still the same... And she was scolded and all... This is so unhealthy... Haiz... In the end, the mom died... Cos she was too skinny... But kept working out and not eating to lose weight... Can faint...
The ending was also very abrupt... I dun understand... But anyway, it was a time of entertainment for that 1 hr 43 min...
