and we can finally start planning

Speech day is over! Finished my first wedding of the year - the school's wedding. Apparently most schools here gets married once a year. Heh. Shall resume normal wedding planning activities :)

Things are picking up, I'm going for fittings and starting to flip all the bridal magazines that dear Liwen has bought for me.

Went for my first evening gown fitting with Mummy, Marilyn & Liwen over the weekend. Ohhh, so exciting :) I love having Mummy around cos she rocks and her opinion matters so much to me.

After so many month (?) or weeks of decision making.. from the countless bridal magazines, pictures and sessions with Caroline (especially the one we sat down to pore over magazines and her designer stuff... and Isaiah played solitaire on his phone), it finally came down to this. The actual gown in physical form. I just wanted to put it down in memory that i didn't quite know how to react when i saw it. My first thought was that it was so not me.. not that it wasn't gorgeous - it was - but it seem such a far cry from my usual weekend style.

But it felt right after i put it on - a couple seconds of lag - but after staring at myself for awhile, i guess it felt right. It would still take some getting used to the fact that i'm a bride! A bride. Fancy! :)

Thank God everyone agreed that the colour was gorgeous next to my skin tone. i was debating between a hot pink one or a lighter pink one. And I chose the latter. Mummy gave some advice on altering the sides of the dress while Marilyn happily snapped away pictures. Moh says i need to lose weight.. so gym sessions, here i come!

I'm doing a silent debate on whether i should post the picture of the fitting here, but i guess i shall keep whoever that reads this blog in suspense..

Until the next fitting (which will be the wedding gown.. EXCITED!!) or the next.. or the next.. heh.

Till next time :) toodles! and God Bless!

i miss working out

I miss working out so much with my packed schedule. Especially kickboxing. Sigh.

So i work out with my mind :)

A recent Formal Letter writing question:

The Physical Education Department has recently started a new elective class, Kick Boxing. In this class, students are exposed to the sport of using martial-arts-style kicks and boxing-style punches to defeat an opponent. In addition, hip hop dance steps will also be incorporated in the class to improve general fitness. Students who are selected for the class will be able to take it on as a subject for the ‘O’ Levels.

Write a letter to the head of the Physical Education Department, Mrs. Linda Yeo, requesting to take up this class. Explain in detail you reasons for wanting to join this class and describe your feelings for it.

In your letter, include the following points:

• Why you are writing this letter
• Self introduction of yourself
• Your special abilities in relation to physical activities
• 3 reasons why you should be selected for this class
• What you intend to do with what you’ve learnt in this class

Using the above notes, as well as other relevant details, write your letter of request.

See i am getting strong in my mind too :) :) :)

to put Christ first

As you can see, this picture is shamelessly 'koped' from Daily Candy. Interested people can go google it up. Uninterested people, just admire the cherry blossoms.

We've been swamped with work recently. On the personal side, many things have been happening and most of it ain't that pretty - but it feels exactly like how it will feel when something good and big is going to happen. We have been talking about unprecedented growth in church and... i believe growth is certainly gonna come. But before that come, are we as brothers and sisters in Christ persistent enough in love to pray for those in need?

I feel like i've been on the sidewalk, watching others rushing around me while i gently say no to all these. My excuse? Work is too busy, Speech Day is too near, i am too tired. And boy, did i feel much shame upon myself when i read about Jason and Shufen on their blog.

I think work has taken first place in my life. Even when my throat is going, and my body breaking down with a cold, i persisted in going to school. It came to a point i had to ask myself - who am i working for? God or men? And that was when i packed my stuff, arranged for relief and left. It was silly, i spent $10 rushing to and fro school for no apparent reason.

I think i need to relook at how busy i am. Yes, i am swamped. But God do not give us things beyond what we can bear. And if work is going to take me away from Christ, how ironic it is! When God was the one who gave me this job in the first place?

Perhaps i can start with being disciplined in work. Finish work fast fast chop chop.
And most importantly, to put God first.

Yes i said it.

one day@home

for the first time in a long long long time....i spent an ENTIRE saturday at home. no going out, no meeting people, no worship practice....cos...I SPRAINED my leg haha...

it's one of those "i knew it was going to happen" kind of thing...

overall though, it's be a rather cool week. since the last sunday.

sunday was good, felt i improved, though can definately do much better. But God does His thing anyway ;)

rehearsal for the clear project on wed went well, super encouraged by everyone's positive attitude.

we launched PROJECT SHINE finally going out into the community to bless them. at work, its getting busy too with all the BAU stuff..overall its been getting busy...

BBQ was great, simple and good time of fellowship...although i think more time was spent on photo-taking!

some people think carefully before committing to anything...i commit to everything and anything related with God or church, then i start thinking about how to handle...so it ends up with late nights, little sleep, little time with matilda, almost ZERO time with family....

so eventually i get so exhausted that i fall asleep at the coffeeshop while waiting for the beehoon and otah....then the "ACT of God" comes"....tah da...i sprain my ankle while trying to stop a ball that was going out anyway! haha....anyway thanks to Mr Chin and Mr Ong for taking the trouble to send me home!

more or less i've been getting the signals to tone down...both in speech and in time....so i'll heed them for now...slowness is difficult for people who like to move...i'd rather take a longer route that has no traffic lights cos can speed, then to take the shorter route that "seems" slower....

at the end, it's not how fast we move to get things done, but just a matter of keeping in step with the Holy Spirit...watching the step and timing from Him and not rushing ahead cos i can...

so bottomline - refocus, narrow it down to the really impt things and do those!

tomorrow is Easter - day of miracles. Jesus rose, broke the chains! Salvation is coming strong!
