~ Dawn of a New Year ~
New Year, New Beginnings, New Dreams, New Challenges, New Hope. The old is gone and the new is come. New things to expect, new things to try.
God on this new new years day, I pray that you will keep me close to you each day. Not forgetting to be thankful, not forgetting to be grateful. Teach me to live my life in humility & simplicity, to treasure my every waking moments and to live it to the fullest. Let your love shine through me that others may see Christ in me. May I decrese so that You will increase in my life. Not my will, but yours be done, everyday... all of my days.

[ HaPpY New YeaR ]
Time to usher in the New Year, 2003! Very soon after half a year of studies I'll be kicked out to earn my own living. Not a very exciting thought... but then again I'm sure I'll apprecaite having my own money to spend. That will be a whole lotta new responsibilites. Dun really know what exactly i wanna do. And actually there isn't like a lot of time left already. I dun wanna grow up, I wanna be a toys-R-us kid! Haha. Always so good to be just a kid, naive, innocent not a care in the world..But seriously after this year I would officially an adult, a working adult. One who contributes to CPF and pays income tax!
My new year resolution as always:
1) Lose weight ( 7kg would be ideal but 3kg seems more realistic)
2) Save money cause I intend to go on a short holiday
3) Keep my room neat and tidy (try.. )
4) Exercise regularly like 3x a week?
5) Be more patient esp with my family
6) Be a better cell leader
.... okay that's all for the time being..

~*~*~* Post Christmas Thoughts*~*~*~
Christmas came, and went. What does Christmas means to me now? In the past as a little kid, Christmas was truely a joyous season. Being surrounded by family, glorious food and presents from all my family and relatives. It used to be a time where laughter and joy filled the air. As I grow older Christmas somehow seems to be a quieter affair. No more family gatherings, no more extravagent presents, no more glorious food...
But what is the true spirit of Christmas about? Have you thought about it? It does sound cliché to say that it's a time to commemorate the birth of Jesus, but isn't is what it's all about? But this Christmas I was reminded once again that Jesus was and is the Hope of All the Earth, and all is rest assured in His great love. Sounds familar? Yes it came from a song. And as I was singing this in the Christmas service, I can't help but tell myself that all is not without Hope. Year 2002 has indeed been a choatic year for me with school, family, work and church. Many times, it really was all bleak and hopeless. Many times, defeat and anguish tormented me. Yet through it all, I have to believe that God was with me. Not easy to deal with. "Why God, are you allowing it to happen to me?" was my constant cry to Him. It's all part of growing, it's all part of the moulding process...
Once again, I'm brought back to His arms of grace. What would I do without Him? Probably lose my sanity and all will to live on. Hope of all the earth... that gives me a ray of hope that the days ahead will no doubt be faced with uncertainties. But at least one thing is for sure, He is my blessed assurance.
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace, there will be no end." - Isaiah 9:6-7

~*~~ Good Bye Big Ted ~~*~
Big Ted's a fellow i like on Survivor, but sadly he's gone too. Tough luck yoz "bra-der!" The others were faking him, ie lying to him, when they said they wanted to Clay to go. They're probably jealous that he won the day's reward challenge and seem like a threat to them. So it's left with lazy Clay, Scheming Brian, Nice Old Jen and Confused Helen.
Arranging my photos is no easy task, and so far only did for the first 4 days. And i have.. erm. many more days to go. But I'm enjoying it, though trying to squeeze eveything inside is quite a feat!
It's pouring outside and I'm sleepy..*YAWN*

~~**~ Good Bye Derek & Drew ~**~~
Watched the amazing race and am sad to witness the elimination of the wonder twins, Derek and Drew. Was rooting for them, not because they are so so *slurp* cute and are such eye candy, but seriously these guys are nice. Those lame and jealous guys should given them a break, and not make them out to be some brainless himbos. Now with them being eliminated, cant decide who I should support. If i ever support Flo and Zach, it's only because Flo has wisen up and treats Zach with more respect! That ger is so bitchy! All she does is scream her head off at him, even though she is the unreasonable one and flirts with Drew all day. But my first vote goes for Ken and Gerald. The Oh Brothers! haha they are so hilarious and spontaneous. They are just so funny. And then there's Ian and Teri, the parents team who really kicks everyone's ass by arriving at the pitstop in first place today! Who would have guessed!
I'm like sucha huge fan of reality TV. I watched Amazing Race, Survivor, Temptation Island, the Bachalor .. and erm what else are there? Probably that's about it. Why so I enjoy watchig reality tv? It's so 'real'. No scripts, no cuts, all real. And for some shows like Temptation island, you see how bitchy people can get, on Survivor, how manipulating and shrewd people are ... just for the 1million prize money. It's sometimes a joke to see them fighting like that. If given a chance, I'll never want to join such stuffs and risk exposing the "evil twin" in me. Never!

~* Photos/Xmas Cookies Exchange *~
Okay, didn't really did much of my assignments yesterday, whihc made me feel kinda .. then again maybe just a little bad. I said a prayer today which vaguely went something like that,"Lord help me spend my time more effectively, to be mroe diligent, more productive. And to have a life, ie not blogging the whole day!... haha what a prayer right?
But you ain't gonna hear much of me coz I'm going to collect my Xmas cookies as well as collect my pretty photos. I'm so excited that i can start on my photo album. It's a a thousand times mroe interesting and fulfilling than any of my projs. I Think I'm repeating myself.. then again, who cares.

~* Results are out today *~
Today I'm feeling ambitious. Gotta start on my assignments, hopfully clean up my room, do a bit of reading too. The results are gonna be released today. Not much feelings. Not worried, not anxious. What's there to be, all is done, cant be undone. Whatever will be will be. If i dun do well, I'll just feel abit sad. But no point crying over it. I'm easily contented.

I'm sucha slacker. And that's gross. Been back from Aussie and havent even started on any of my assignments yet. That's why tmrw I'm so gonna start, at least on my reflection paper. I must, I must, I MUST. Today even went back to sch to look for materials to help me get a tiny winy bit motivated to start. ok enuff said about work. I must start at least something tomorrow. Period.
I'm so happy, will get to see all the aussie photos by wednesday. Then I can get down to putting them in my photo album. I'm so excited and i'm more driven to do that than any of my assignments! Haha, if only I was that enthusiastic, maybe I might have some chance of getting distinctions. But sadly that's so not me. Not a trait I find admirable... Well I did mentioned I am a slacker, so much for reality check! Ha!
Planning to go swimming tmrw. But gotta see how the weather goes. Today it rained so much. Whenever it rains kinda makes me feel blue, dreamy, sleepy...

Isn't this picture sweet? Taken outside CK Tangs shopping center. I like Christmas, no in fact I Lurve Christmas! Christmas brings a sense of hope, a feeling of joy and definately lotsa love. But Christmas is not just about presents wrapped up in pretty wrapper. But the first gift of Christmas came in a stable, a baby wrapped in swaddling cloth. He's the source of all the world's hope, love and joy. Through Him i have life, and life abundant. Yet many times in life, i have taken Him for granted.
May we all take some time before Christmas to reflect upon all that was given to us, and remember the true reason why we celebrate Christmas. *Cheers*

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth
That's life my friends, the kinda life i wanna live. Tired of all the buzz in life, the hurry, the rush. Slow down, apprecaite life, be awed by the hands of God. At the end of the day, we all end up the same place. For some, it's the north, for some it's the south. So be good.

God, to every individual, means differently. What is God like to you?
God is like...
A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas about God. Here are some of the results:
GOD IS LIKE BAYER ASPIRIN
He works miracles.
GOD IS LIKE a FORD
He's got a better idea.
GOD IS LIKE COKE
He's the real thing.
GOD IS LIKE HALLMARK CARDS
He cares enough to send His very best.
GOD IS LIKE TIDE
He gets the stains out that others leave behind.
GOD IS LIKE GENERAL ELECTRIC
He brings good things to life.
GOD IS LIKE SEARS
He has everything.
GOD IS LIKE ALKA-SELTZER
Try him, you'll like Him.
GOD IS LIKE SCOTCH TAPE
You can't see him, but you know He's there.
GOD IS LIKE DELTA
He's ready when you are.
GOD IS LIKE ALLSTATE
You're in good hands with Him.
GOD IS LIKE VO-5 Hair Spray
He holds through all kinds of weather.
GOD IS LIKE DIAL SOAP
Aren't you glad you have Him. Don't you wish everybody did.
GOD IS LIKE the U.S. POST OFFICE
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet nor ice will keep Him from His appointed destination.
