que sara sara

was just thinking about my future job (major think-tank topic of all time)... and i thought of this song that i use to belt out when i was young...

When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be

Will I be pretty, will I be rich

Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be.

Now i wished my mum had the answer to "what will i be". Surprisingly, im not as worried as i thought i would be. maybe because the idea behind this song just resonates in my heart, that "The future's not ours to see, what will be will be" so my friends out there, lets not worry (: for a greater being has our future planned out and set in place!

the CRAVER craves...

Beef Hor Fun!

handmade think strips of rice noodle accompanied with a generous portion of thick black pepper gravy and not forgetting the succulent beef slices that comes from happy cows.

who can resist...

Best spots to have it - Geylang Lorong 9 OR Changi Airport Terminal 1 staff canteen (:

when u r feeling stressed...

think "HAPPY THOUGHTS"

when you are blue, think PINK

when you are tired, think about being ENERGETIC after you finally get to sleep

when you are burdened, think Matthew 11:30

THINK POSITIVE!

(: (: (:

jesus keeps us going!

the art of being alone

the above is really a skill.

how many people can actually function as an individual fully i wonder. that is without any form of a community. not surprisely, i am at the far (other) end of the spectrum.

for one, I CANT EAT ALONE = when no one is around, i SKIP MEALS = when i see people eating alone, i wonder if THEY FEEL LONELY.

second, I seriously cannot cannot live each day without communicating with someone. haha. i NEED TO TALK, small talk or big talk. I NEED TO TALK.

then again, i really admire friends who can enjoy alone time - not referring to the 2 hours you spend in your room watching your favourite movie. but more of bring yourself on a date? sounds weird but people do.

some go on movie dates.
some go on lunch dates.
others even go on holiday trips. (AMAZING BTW). how do u start exclaiming when u see interesting sights with no one around you??

but the thought of me doing is not even worth entertaining. once i walked on the streets of Brisbane city, almost a whole day. (shopping is fine, cos i love shopping alone) but when lunch time came, it was dreadful.... DREADFUL!

i was famished but still self-conscious. so i walked past restaurants after restaurants, lamenting that if only i have a friend beside me, i would have long finished my food galore. so i finally popped into a small diner, (which i assume many eat-alone people would be) and ordered. food dint look appetizing despite my growling stomach. and i just couldnt wait to finish my meal.

standing ovation to my friends who have meals alone. (: you know who you are. but still, do have meals with me!

we won! we won! we won!

yay!!! the Quivers won the YFC 2010 - Cat C title!!!

totally unimaginable and unexpected!

my grpmates, if u see this, just want to tell u "it can only be God when miracles happen."

(: (: (:

my friend: little-miss-lunch

my first post (starting anew) is dedicated to little-miss-lunch.

to begin, her nickname (i came up w it like seconds ago) is derived from her mini linguistic obstacle. she pronounces "lounge" as "lunch", "lunch" as "launch", "launch" as "lounge". basically she gets them all mixed up ALL THE TIME. but to keep the nickname short, we shall use "little-miss-lunch", since i always have lunch with her.

talking about lunch, we always eat the same thing from the same stall, with occasional permutations of the type of noodles. u guessed it - its the Singaporean must-eat at a food court BAN MIAN. for me, its always the square pieces of MEE HOON KUAY, little-miss-lunch prefers U-MIAN... the tiny skinny one. she claims it looks like there are more noodles, and psychologically she would feel more satisfied. today, we both tried something new for lunch, we tried the DEFAULT BAN MIAN.
ok so little-miss-lunch was complaining the whole time. and while she was talking to her friends who passed by, i fished a strand of u-mian which was mistakenly placed in the wrong bowl. i held the strand for really really long, laughing to myself and finally being able to give it to her "officially". and we both had an ab-forming laugh. (: (i think only lml and me find it funny.)

anyway, little-miss-lunch has a "best friend", lets call him mr. curly. mr.curly is really weird and quirky. and i mean really quirky. he got korean-wanna-be curly hair, and dresses cool. and he likes to blabber and half the time, i dont quite understand him. anyhoos, we always notice mr. curly. 2 tutorial classes ago, we saw him at a lift lobby, looking lost, finding our new tut class. we were heading there, totally immersed in commenting at his "lost face" tt we din even bother calling him along. the funny part is that we saw him pacing up and down the corridor from the classroom and all we did was laugh. (OUR BAD.but really funny) and he finally entered the class like after almost half hr. then we laugh again.
(lml, if u are seeing this, i think we really need to feel bad haha)

to sum this post up, lml really makes me lol all the time. and i always lol with lml at small stupid things. but isnt tt what life is all about? in midst of the everyday routines, laughter just makes life so much more meaningful(:

oh ya. lml and i each have resolutions. she will the crunches every day while i fast from "my mcdonalds".......... tough! but we CAN!

STARTING ANEW

I'VE DECIDED. I WILL START BLOGGING AGAIN.

LIFE IS SO FILLED WITH MEMORABLE AND FUNNY EPISODES - IT'S A PITY NOT TO BLOG!

(me being forgetful is another reason)

"with a little faith, people can fix things, and they truly can change, because at that moment, you could not believe otherwise."

-quoted from Have A Little Faith, Mitch Albom

words from God

When worries and fear stirred up in my mind, God gave me these words:


"Everything is possible for him who believes." (Mark 9:23 NIV)
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” (Romans 12:12 NIV)


AMEN! (:

we can do all things through Him who gives us strength... wootz!

come what may.

i think this phrase is one that not many dare to declare.

firstly, it means welcoming the uncertainty with confidence. (how many of us can?!)
second, it implies security. (how many of us are THIS secure)

Job 13:13 “Hold your peace with me, and let me speak, Then let come on me what may!"

Guess Job didnt scream that sentence at his friends because he was totally confident in his capabilities or that he was proud but HE WAS SECURED IN GOD.. so secured, uncertainties (of the present and future) dont matter, because he knows that God will make a way. It was more of a declaration to God saying "Lord, I TRUST YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY, with my present and future, that what ever comes my way i know its ordained by you and i will walk by faith to the victorious end"

i often wonder abt the magnitude of Job's faith, with all that he has gone through, how can he still utter that 3 words... it can only be a faith and confidence that God has anointed him with. it can only be that he experienced SO MUCH of God (both blessings and presence) that he knows so certainly that God is the same yesterday today and forever (Heb 13:8).

He blessed you yesterday, He has blessed you today, and He will definitely bless you forever.

*Something good is gonna happen, something good is in store*

lets make lemonades!

exam period is probably the most boring time... filled w just silence and books and notes. occasionally interrupted by the clicking of the mechanical pencil and yawns.

its probably a time when one goes through hours of introspection (during undeserved breaks).. "the act of looking within oneself" quoted from dictionary.com; seems like an EMO-MO-MO time but truth is, introspection can be healthy n happy(:

its time when u reflect (n besides realizing the bad things, which we should try to avoid), and realise there is so so so so much to thank God for and so so so so much to look forward to! having happy thoughts is a choice!

when life gives you lemons, ALWAYS CHOOSE to make lemonades!
