crd: thumblr

The 3 weeks plus' holiday is going to end in 3 days' time :( Honestly speaking, I have had so much fun that I can't really remember what I have been doing. Haha! Maybe rest, shopping, movies, drama (You're beautiful), meals with people, Jazz @ Southbridge, church, help out in kindergarten (seeing those adorable kids again make my heart melt) ... children's day celebration, manicure&pedicure, meetings....TENNIS sessions!! arrrrggghhhhh the break is just way too short :( there are some people that I haven had the chance to meet up with yet :( Well, at least I am meeting up with Rachel and Hua Yee later :)

Yea, that's the summary of my holiday :)

The voices within me are so loud, how then can I make the right decision? Ps T said... it's the heart that matters the most and not worrying over whether the decision is right or not... well, I am learning to be that way :) Thank you, Lord!

Love
Vina

Peace

Yes, Simone (the center girl) has left for London for further studies for almost 3 weeks now and I am missing you dear :( Miss hanging out with you :(

Anyway, I am in the midst of my examination period now, last week's were Thursday and Friday. Was very discouraged and angry about Thursday's paper, but i think Friday's paper lifted me up... thanks Fidah! I don't have paper until this Thursday :) Looking forward to the well-deserved break !!! Can't wait!!!

Things have not been easy for me ever since I came back from HK... just alot of things are hitting my way that I just wanted to give up, but I think that's not the way because this season is just a time of molding and shaping of who I will be :) I will press on!!

This verse sums up everything!!

John 14:27: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Ok, back to mugging now :)

Love
Vina

How am I?

It's almost a week since I am back from HK. HK trip was a blast! Did alot of shopping and eating. The happiest thing was that I managed to meet up with Pel! <3

I guess I was recharged again after the crazy period of assignments. I was able to shop till I dropped. lol!& also the rest needed to fight the battle that I am facing right now. It has not been easy but I guess I am doing good (: Anyway it's study break right now, am able to catch up alot on reading and studying, so I am kinda happy though I went to HK for 4 days which I didnt manage to study much.

Anyway the photos are on FB, you can go see :)

Blessed & Loved

Hello! I am at the airport now, waiting for sis, her mom and the friend to arrive. In fact, I am like 1/2 hour early :p Really blessed to be going on this trip as everything else is paid for, except my meals & shopping which are also paid by mom =)

I guess this much-needed-trip is so apt for me after all the craziness in school work & preparing for exams and some personal issues that I am facing right now.

Sometimes, I just gotta learn to make do with the changes. It doesn't matter what people say, at the end of the day, it's how you perceive everything.

Oh ! I am going to Hong Kong for a shopping trip, hopefully I will be able to see Pel!!!*Waves at you!*

In the quiet,
In the stillness
I know that You are there

Thank You Lord for helping me through this crazy period.
Thank you even for awesome friends :)

I love you, more than life <3

Don't give up

2010-08-22T08:50:00.002+08:00

I love exchanging ideas.
I love to hear people's perspectives of things
I love to be arguing over my points
I love it when we talk about God & His Kingdom
and growing together to be more like Him.

I don't care about what people are saying
As long as I am happy (:

Hua Yee drew this using the studio photo we took when we were in sec 3. It's one of the present for Rachel's 21st birthday last Saturday 14082010. Really like it alot ;) Can you identify me?

Had a good time celebrating Rachel's 21st but was very nervous for being the MC with Ranette (Rachel's sister). But it was a good celebration for all of us ^^ Good time catching up with the girls as well after not seeing them for ages. Missed Fidah though cos I think she MIA haha

Yesterday I went to the dentist and Dr Lim was so nice to treat me and the nurses lunch :) Felt weird yet blessed to have him as my dentist because even all the nurses said that he is a really nice person. The bad part is that I am paying a bomb for my precious tooth :( I haven't let mommy know about it yet, hopefully she will not "kill" me haha.

Having 2 presentations this week, 3105 and 3111. can't wait for it to be over so that I can continue doing my 2107 and 3111 lab reports & study for 2107 spss test. So irritating ): But it has been good this time even though work load is a killer - having the school cellies around ... outings to supper and etc :) Love you guys ttmx! Love Fidah & the girls too!!

I'm really blessed

Love

Happy National Day!!!

Yes, the scariest and crazy period of the semester has arrived & I only managed to complete 1 out of the many assignments while some are halfway done...
~~PY 3105 folio~~ , PY 3105 Presentation slides, PY 3111 proposal, PY 3111 Presentation slides, PY 2107 lab report & PY 2107 SPSS test. Well, I hope I can survive all these

Besides assignment, life has been good to me (: at least surviving in school as well with the loveliest friends ever!
Went back to City Church as after that was meeting Xinyi & Shaun to study... so I thought it would be nearer for me to head off from there. Ps Ong actually shared the same message that I heard before in JW church, but it's good... Reminding me about renewing our minds always (:

There are alot of things that have been happening in my life as well as people around me. Well, I guess it's part and parcel of life, huh? God puts us through all these for a reason.

Love is a choice & I am learning to grasp that. As I was doing my devotion this morning, I was reminded that God chooses to love us even though we are sinners, sinning everyday against Him. He chose to send His only son to die on the cross for me and you to wash away our sins. WOW! I know this is a typical thing that everyone knows, but this seems to be a new revelation and conviction in my heart. Thank you God for loving me no matter how bad I am. (:

Yes! My elder brother finally took out his courage to proposal to the girlfriend, Trina on 31st July 2010. There were alot of us there as well helping and witnessing the touching moment of their lives! Wohoo! The photos are on facebook as some of you had seen =)

K, going off for lunch with the missies (rachel and hua yee), study then steamboat tonight!!

2010-07-28T00:53:00.001+08:00

Below is a version of the Twenty-Third Psalm from Japan, quoted in Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver. It's definitely a reminder that I need sometimes!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lord is My Pace Setter

The Lord is my pace setter... I shall not rush.

He makes me stop for quiet intervals.

He provides me with images of stillness which restore my serenity.

He leads me in the way of efficiency through calmness of mind and His guidance is peace.

Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day, I will not fret, for His presence is here.

His timelessness, His all importance will keep me in balance.

He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity by anointing my mind with his oils of tranquility.

My cup of joyous energy overflows.

Truly harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours for I shall walk in the Pace of my Lord and dwell in His house forever.

Family photo (:

2010-07-28T00:31:00.000+08:00

This was taken on 10th July 2010 ,
The week that my sister had her graduation ceremony. I couldn't go cos I was down with food poisoning !! The next family photo taken in a studio would be in 2012 when I graduate from James Cook University hehe

----------------------------------

Anyway it's 3rd day of term break today. So glad that 2107 presentation was finally over last Friday which my group members almost "died" doing it as it was not really easy especially when some of the terms / formula you never learn before.

Had our first JCU cell group yesterday and it was awesome !!! cant wait for the next one hehe... then Shaun, Xinyi, Sarah & I headed to Bishan to do our work. It was nice even though we had to change place 3 times within 2 1/2 hrs... reason being coffee bean 's plug not working, then we headed to library for a while and then it was dinner at S11. Love you guys so much !! Had alot of fun time talking and chatting... as if I know you all for very long time like that =)

I know I have not been updating alot lately, partly cos I am lazy + busy + don't know where to start from... haha but I am alive and kicking! well, I will try to update more!!

Here's the list of assignments + presentations due in the month of August... God please help me!

1) 3111 presentation & proposal
2) 3105 presentation & proposal
3) 2107 lab report

-----------------------------------
This is my prayer <3

I Just Want You Lyrics

More than a nice melody,
More than the sweetest of word's,
This is love i have found,
and with this love i am found.

I just want you Jesus, i just want you my lord,
I just want you Jesus, i just want you.

Never could i comprehend,
The love you so freely give,
Never could i be with you,
But you love covers all of my sin.

There is no greater love than yours,
Nothing else could ever compare,
And even if i search all the world i will never find a love like yours God.

Love
Vina

Life

2010-07-04T20:58:00.003+08:00

I have been wanting to kind of write a short post lately, just have no motivation to do so :( It's kinda sad huh abandoning this blog to catch spider webs?

Anyway, the 1-month break was over last week, 30th July 2010 with 2107 lecture in the evening. I think my break was awesome overall , having alot of time to do what I wanted to do - attend church conference, catch up with friends, spending more time at home, etc. Of course, it wasn't really enough for me to do all that I wanted to do - I wasnt able to catch up with my secondary school gang (H2R2VY) much ): , The princesses (Anna & Yoke San) & more... sounds as if I have a lot of friends, huh? haha !

Anyway it's really great to be able to be back to uni seeing my friends again! Enjoying lectures + tutorials because of them who can make everything less stressful, right fidah? :) really glad after a friend spoke to the Dean about grades and stuffs, decreasing my worries about doing well and such cos I had not been able to excel well for the past 3 semesters. Will try to put in my very best this semester since I am taking only 3 modules, 3-days-school this semester! I believe I can do it!

Other than all these, life has been good to me :) glad that the sister is graduating this coming Tuesday and the whole family is going down to support her and then snap some photos haha...

Okay, I suddenly lost my motivation to write :( Will update soon again!

Love
Vina

His eye on the Sparrow

2010-06-18T10:15:00.001+08:00

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart fell lonely
And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
I know he watches
I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches me
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
He watches me
He watches me, I never thought...
He watches me

Today is the day

2010-06-16T10:17:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone,
It's been so long since I seriously updated this blog. I shall try to do it today =)

Today is the day that I am going back to the dentist to take out the stitches and I am kinda excited about it! The one week of healing has been good, recovering so fast despite the fact that the dentist said my teeth were at very terrible state with infections and all. I think it must be God helping me with it. I started eating solid food seriously on Friday when the life group celebrated PK's and my birthday at Fish & Co (Ion). Many people were actually quite amazed at the speedy recovery. Hehe.

So this holiday has been quite a relaxing one for me, resting at home, catching up with friends, family and cousins, one of them went back to Indonesia to be a bride to her Mr Right :p I've also been reflecting, thinking and praying alot lately about issues that's in my life and in my heart and I guess it's for a good cause, right? (:

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose.

Our Church conference starts today and I will be there after my dental appointment. YAY!

Have a blessed break people!

Love
Vina

My wisdom teeth surgery experience ):

2010-06-10T08:28:00.003+08:00

I finally went to the dentist on my birthday after not going for more than 5 years. I thought I would not need to go through this pain so soon... who knows that I had been feeling the pain in the right side for many days and the pain was unbearable. I decided then to go dentist on my birthday... hahaha...

While waiting to go into the consultation room, I was really scared, so I started speaking in tongues, and asking God to help me... as I went in, God is so good! He gave me a really nice lady dentist and also nurses who then check my teeth and did an x-ray... I had to do the surgery the next day ):

So I had to do surgery for my wisdom teeth to be plucked off on 9th June, not only the right side, but also the left side ): Thank God for the amazing dentist (different one) and also nurses who never fail to encourage me even when I cried twice hahaha.. It was really painful when they inject to the anesthesia into both sides of my teeth to numb the pain and all... the surgery was really successful even though there were 2 breaks in between to help me calm down cos I was really panicky hahaha =) So now I have lesser teeth ):

But it was really great experience! Thank God for being with me all these while!

2010-06-06T23:11:00.003+08:00

Happy 1st birthday, baby tya! <3>Hellos!
I've been pretty lazy updating the blog now, I don't know why~ just don't have that motivation and mood like how I used to blog so much in the past. But I guess it's also part of growing up, isn't it? Anyway, it's kinda the 2nd and half wk of semester break now... so far so good... been catching up with friends, doing church kids ministry admin stuffs - which is alot, hanging out with people...movies... spending time reading and all...

I kinda dont know what to write here actually. Hopefully my blogging passion will come back soon haha.

kisses

2010-05-30T00:32:00.002+08:00

Hi world! it's been about 2 weeks since I last updated. Things have been alright, studied and finished exam just on Wednesday, 26th May 2010 =) Kinda happy now that I finally could take a 1-month break, learning so much lately and I am gonna continue learning

So anyway just to drop by saying that I am still alive and kicking! Will update more next time....good night <3>

:)

2010-05-14T23:36:00.004+08:00

It's close to 9 more days' to the first exam paper for this semester. Been studying here and there, but it seems like so little time to complete studying... but I have faith that I can do it :) :)

So anyway as seen from the picture above, we girls had our annual meet up =) It's kinda sad that Oly couldnt make it, we miss you dearly! it was a nice time together, talking and laughing haha.

The Tacloban team for 2011! hahaha! we were saying it's prophetic :p if you realise, every1 in the photo except Daniel were the ones that went for the mission trip this year and last year! We were like "Daniel, next year you come ah?" hahaha! you never know, right?

Anyway, overall life has been good =) having friends to study and chit chat with me at this period of time help a lot! Imagine facing the books for most of the hours that you are awake everyday, can die right?

Mood of the day:

Alot of things that I have on my mind, just don't know how to pen them down, but yea, I am good! :)

The real me

2010-05-12T10:32:00.001+08:00

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache
Will this glass house break?
How much will they take
Before I'm empty
Do I let it show?
Does anybody know?

Chorus:
But You see the real me
Hiding in my skin
Broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, Cause You see the real me

Painted on
Life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade
Always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But You love me even now
And still I see somehow

Chorus:
But You see the real me
Hiding in my skin,
Broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, Cause You see the real me

Bridge:
Wonderful, beautiful
Is what You see
When You look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry

Oh, I just wanna be me
I wanna be me

Chorus
Cause You see the real me
Hiding in my skin
Broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, Cause You see the real me
And You love me
Just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful
Is what You see
When You look at me

Mother (:

2010-05-11T10:14:00.004+08:00

I know I am super late in dropping this blog entry, I just couldn't find the words to express. However, I found this expressing the grateful heart to the mom, which it seems suitable for this entry =)

Thank God for Mothers…

who sacrifice their time for our happiness,

and give us the freedom to be ourselves,

even when we disagree.

Thank God for Mothers…

who make home a place called love,

who desire the bond of togetherness,

even in the midst of confusion .

Thank God for Mothers…

who never give up on us,

who willingly believe in us,

and who faithfully stand by our side.

Thank God for Mothers…

who patiently try to understand us,

and consistently overlook our faults

with tenderness and love.

Thank God for Mothers…

who don’t expect perfection,

from us or themselves,

and who lead us to the only One who is…

perfect.

Thank God for Mothers.

-Rebecca Barlow Jordan

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Hi!
YAY finally my assignments and presentations are over. It's now my study break + sleeping in more to make up for the lack-of-sleep weeks not only due-to-rushing-assignments but many other stuffs :p

HAPPY 21ST YINGCHEE :p we had fun at ur birthday party! Thanks for inviting!
HAPPY 21ST XIAO QING! I know I have said it many times hahahah :p

I went for a massage with Xiao Qing today. It's actually our first time going for a massage and I was so sua-ku but it was so good! Felt like a tai-tai for an hour haha.

I am loving God, life, school, friends, family, places, church... I wonder how my life would be without all these in my life. What would happen to me after what happened in sec 3 and without zi xin bringing me to church :) God has saved me from the darkness and I am learning to live up for Him =) So life has been awesome!!!

Oh! Did I mention to you that I finally watched IPMAN 2? yes! i watched it with qiqi and it was so awesome! Gonna watch it again with some other people this Saturday heheheh... I feel like enjoying life and not-in-study-mood yet :p, but I will study, dont worry :p

Alright, enough of my ramblings. Feel so relaxed now, I am sure to sleep soundly tonight. i hope you too! :)

Love
Vina

Hello,

I am so glad that it's only left with Stats lab report and health Psy presentation and then exam and then it will be the end of the semester. I rushed my health psy essay on Monday till 12plus midnight so that I could hand in yesterday and so I did!

Lately I just don't know what else to blog about because there is just so much that I have been reflecting upon this week, especially now that I have finished watching drama, which I think is good to always reflect on my life so that I know how to realign my life once again =)

Generally life has been good for me =) Learning on alot of things. So anyway, I am updating alot on my tumblr which has alot of quotes, photos, texts. Go take a look if you are free and be inspired. Hee

Really can't wait for well-deserved holiday to come before next semester comes. Talking about next semester, been thinking of what to take... below are some that I kinda confirm taking already

1) PY 2107 -Experimental Investigation and Analysis of Behaviour
2) PY 3111 - Advanced Health Psychology
3) PY 3105 - Behaviour in Organisations

Alright, have a blessed week ahead!!

You're My Beloved
You're My Bride
To sing over you is My delight
Come away with Me My love

You're Beautiful to Me
So beautiful to Me

Under My mercy
Come and wait
Till we are standing face to face
I see no stain on you
My child

You're Beautiful to Me
So Beautiful to Me

I sing over you My song of peace
Cast all your care down at My feet
Come and find your rest in Me

I'll breathe My life inside of you
I'll bear you up on eagle's wings
And hide you in the shadow of My strength
I'll take you to My quiet waters
I'll restore your soul
Come rest in Me and be made whole

You're My beloved
You're My Bride
To sing over you is my delight
Come away with me my love

Joyfully

Hello darlings =)

It's the end of the week and I am really happy~ looking forward to the weekend very much!!
So so~ I'm recovering fast & I am glad I am because I could do so much more this week! My Psychopathology presentation and assignment are finally over on Tuesday as well as my stats test today.

Finally met up with Simone, Charissa and Crystal today. So glad to have this kind of gathering with the girls to talk and all. And and! I finally watched How to train the dragon and it's awesome to the maximum! Toothless~ hehe!! I also shopped alot this week & bought so many things ckckck...

Oh oh! I've been receiving updates from the Tacloban Team and really excited because God is doing so much there! They are going to enjoy themselves so much today because it's the last day of camp filled with performances and all hahah. oh i miss them so much :( Tomorrow they will be going to Tanauan and another village. Praying for them :)

Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases

If only we girls have the strong heart and strong to guard our hearts and not fall in love so easily and at the end of the day getting hurt again and again. I pray that all of us will be able to learn to first love the Lord, love ourselves and be secure of who we are before thinking of getting into a relationship that will last forever.

Love is such a beautiful thing, why do we rush into something that will not last forever? Teach me Lord to be firm and secure in you and know that your love is unconditional. Teach me Lord to walk the right path and narrow path where the truth lies. Amen

2010-04-16T22:13:00.000+08:00

Come all ye weary and ye broken
Come to the table of the Lord
Come sing the song of the forgiven
Come lay your burden on the Word

Come and find
Peace everyone needs a little
Rest everyone needs a little
Joy and a song to sing in the darkest night
Life even when it gets you down
Hope will turn it all around
But love is the greatest of these
Everyone needs a little

Sing all ye saints and ye sinners
Call upon the mercy of the Lord
Come sing the song of redemption
Sing about the hope that is to come

He will lift you up
He will lift you up higher than sorrow
He will lift you up
And cover your soul with healing

Tacloban Mission trip

Saturday and today, the 2010 Tacloban Mission Trip Team, 12 of them set off to Tacloban. It's such a pity I can't go this year. Missing everyone there, especially the youths and the children. Was on facebook chat with Elvin and he mentioned about everyone there are missing me. I miss them too and am praying for them and believing that God is going to do great things there!

--------------------------------------------

So anyway, it's been a few days since I last updated. I had been sick for the past 1 week and thank God I am recovering already, at least my appetite came back tonight. It was really a torturous one week, because I couldn't rest well as my mind was filled with school work and other stuffs. But thank God I am recovering now and thank you everyone for the concerns, sms, msn, facebook, calls and even visits to check on me. Feel so loved =)

Ok, back to writing essays. Bye peeps!

Love

Isaiah 55:9
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.



Indeed His ways are higher than mine. I've been struggling with an area in my life, especially recently, it's getting stronger, almost "blinded", but I am so thankful and grateful I was able to realise and think through. It's not the time now, no pressure even when the whole world says "yes, it's the right thing to do", I will be still and wait for the right time (:

Sometimes what we see, think and feel is beautiful, it's not what you think it is. We have to look far, and not just for the moment, Love is waiting.
Keep your heart.
And wait :)

Preserve your heart my love. Because the Best is yet to come!

I was also reminded to be a good example to people whom I am watching over - the children and some teenagers. I am not bragging about anything, but it's my joy to be in their midst and walking the journey with them. Yes, you :) I want to be able to impart the best for them, therefore, I will be strong and not fall! Yes I can do it through Christ who strengthens me!

Ps: Please remind me when me and knock my head when you know that I am falling!! <3>

We rode into town the other day

Just me and my Daddy

He said I'd finally reached that age

And I could ride next to him on a horse

That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting

And so we stopped to find out why

And there was that man

That my dad said he loved

But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?

Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?

I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows

Daddy, please can't you do something?

He looks as though He's gonna cry

you said he was stronger than all of those guys

addy, please tell me why

Why does everyone want him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy

And Daddy said I should go inside

Somehow he knew things would get stormy

Boy was he right

But I could not keep from wondering

If there was something he had to hide

So after he left I had to find out

I was not afraid of getting lost

So I followed the crowds

To a hill where I knew men had been killed

And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?

Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

Why are they casting their lots for My robe?

This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows

Father, please can't You do something?

I know that You must hear My cry

I thought I could handle the cross of this size

Father, remind Me why

Why does everyone want Me to die?

When will I understand why?"

"My precious Son, I hear them screaming

I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming

But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own

Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know

But this dark hour I must do nothing

Though I've heard Your unbearable cry

The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies

Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes

Look there below, see the child

Trembling by her father's side

Now I can tell You why

She is why You must die"

It's Good Friday tomorrow and it's somehow comforting to know how much Jesus loves us that He chose to die on the cross for you and me to wash away our sins. You see, life is full of struggles that we have to go through, they often are accompanied with tears, crying, sorrow and pain. I am no different from everyone else, I go through all these and I believe whenever we go through things, we are not alone, He sees and He knows our pain. He is the one who will wipe away our tears and telling us that He loves us and never forsake us. How lovely it is to hear from our Abba Father , because His love is unconditional and is constant yesterday, today and forever. Unlike men relationships where there bound to be hurts, anger and bitterness, He loves us for who we are. Thank you Lord :)

Anyway I really love girly talks with Fidah, hahaha... it's funny how we could just talk about these things so freely and laugh at each other :p I love you!!! And also, suddenly feel so silly about those thoughts that have been lying to me. Thank You Lord for people in my life and affirming me. (:

Goodnight lovelies & Happy Holiday!

Omgosh, it's my 3rd entry of the day. I guess I am just excited over the new blog, plus the luxury to just sit and browse away =)

Anyway, it's 12 more days' to Philippines Mission Trip. Unfortunately, I am unable to go this year due to school and personal stuffs to handle. I've been attending the meetings though and it's seriously exciting to see more people from the Singapore side coming to help, roughly about 12 of them going. My heart will be there with the team as well as the people in Philippines. I miss the children, the youths and the adults so much ): Really hope to go back soon too. Like the words stated on top... as much as I want, I can only wait.

It's pretty late now & so I shall turn in. Gonna meet up with the girls for Py2104 presentation plus prayer meeting in the evening tomorrow. so eggciting!

Love

Vina

So true! I'm learning to go that direction now, are you?

First entry (:

Hi folks, This is super random, but I have decided to come back to blogger. I was over at My wordpress and My life journal for a couple of months, but I realised I am still used to blogger (: Well, I hope I will stay here longer than a year :)

Anyway, it's the last day of March 2010 and it was spent quite lazily I think. I don't know why but I am really tired today.... morning was at home clearing stuffs that are occupying too much space on my table, then afternoon meet up with the girls to do PY3103 presentation slides, but the thing was all of us were really tired and blur lol... prolly due to doing too much of essays & stuff... so we met up only for 2 hours and decided to go home and do our part. So I slept for 1 hour and tried to do some more work, at the end was distracted by the tv and dinner and just made up my mind to do up this blog. Haha !

Just one random thought that came on my mind :
Never say to your child that he / she is stupid, because that affects their self-confidence and security very much :)

Alright folks, time to do my work now.

Love
