friday five
1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short? Naturally wavy that is a little past my shoulders now.
2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime? I've had it long, short, wavy, straight.
3. How do your normally wear your hair? When I'm at home, it's just tied back in a bun. When I'm out, it can be in a or two ny tails, in plaits, let down, etc.
4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like? Less fizzy looking, less drying, more length.
5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened? Yes! Some 5, 6 years ago where I went for a haircut and the hairdresser changed my parting after cutting my hair and insisted that I have to perm my hair to make it look balanced. Man I wa so mad, and the worse part, it looked horrible!

Attempt at Photoshop
Today Alexis came over to my place and taught me the basics of photoshop after my failed attempt to learn it on my own. I always find it hard if not impossible to actually learn something like photoshop from books. What I can learn from a simple demo would probably take like an hour to actually read it, understand it and do it. I am quite pleased with the end results. Though it's not very nice but it's not bad for a beginner. I realized that the possibilities of using Photoshop is endless. Then again I only know so little now ;P Borrowed some books from the library today and hope to be more patient to learn something out of there so that I can explore and try out on my own.
Havent been to town for a while and guess what, the Zoo is in town. And by that I mean quite literally. If you take a walk down to the Orchard Mrt, at the area where maids gather on Sundays, you'll see the zoo and the bird park. There are miniature horese, sheeps, ducks, chickens, birds, snakes and others there. Think there some performances by some of the birds and animals too. For those of you who miss the zoo and bird park, hop down to Orchard and get into the wild life!

Direction
God is indeed my God of direction. In the camp, this is one aspect that Pastor Daniel prayed for me about as I knelt at the altar. By the way, in case you didn't know, Pastor Daniel was a guest speaker of the youth retreat during the night services. On the last night, he prayed that I'll receive a fresh anointing and a fresh work of the Holy Spirit in my life. He also reminded me that God is my God of salvation, of provision and direction. As simple and as general as this may sound, but it spoke volumes to me and really was so timely in what I am and was about to go through.
Just a day after the camp, my dad told me that I had to go into insurance due to some unforseen circumstances. The direction seemed to be the only way out for me and it needed fast actions. For those of you who know me, I always said that going into insurance was probably the last thing that I would ever do in my life. But I had to eat my words now. Initially when my dad told me all these, I was screamng in my head, "NO, no no no! God deliver me!" But as I cried on my bed, God's peace slowly filled my heart and my only prayer was, " God, Your will be done. I place my faith in You." And so it was done. But the whole day I was still struggling to accept the fact. This was when Mendy'sprophecy spoke so much reassurance from God, to have faith in Him.
After I shared this with Alexis and Pastor Jo, it seems like this might not be such a bad thing after all. So all I know now is that though the future seems so uncertain and I'm still scared, God is here with me and He'll guide me each and every step of the way. My future is secure in the Lord's hands. Do keep me in prayer as my family is going through a difficult time. God bless you for your prayers.

What dreams mean
If there is one thing about my sleeping patterns, it's that I dream a lot. Yes and I do remember most of them too. Some vaguely, some in details. A particular dream I had about a month ago, was about me walking along a field with my pastor and he asked me this question, "What if God really spoke to me?" I remembered I replied that I'll listen and obey to what God said. Then I went on to explain about how I have pre-conceived ideas of how God should speak to me and one of them is that God should speak in an audible voice. But I added that God doesnt speak like this anymore. But guess what...
One significant thing that took place during the camp was that God really spoke to me. And I mean in an audible voice, through Mandy. When I read back about my dream entry in my journal, it really blew my mind. Because the way God spoke to me really was out of my pre-concevied notions. Like probably I would think that God would use some pastor or appointed minister and all, but God used Mandy. And when God can use a person like Mandy, I'm really humbled and in reverant awe by that. I never knew that my dreams could mean anything since I have had a lot of dreams that involves me running away from people who wants to attack and kill me. (how bizzare, I know!)
But to re-read my dream entry about the question of "What if God really speaks"... That's mind blowing. It's just one of those mind blowing experience that I have with God. God just never fails to amaze me and keep me on my toes too ;) If you're thinking God is not real, I don't know what is anymore. God never felt more real to me in this camp. I'm just so thankful that I was able to go for it. The timing for this camp is really by divine appointment.

New Idea for Games
Phew, just cleaned the fans in my house. The ceiling fan in the hall and the standing fan in my room. The ceiling fan wasn't so much of a toughie, but the one in my room was a pretty tricky one. Took me about half an hour. First I had to dismantle the fan, then wipe the blades and then the mental cover. Then the hardest part was trying to get everything back. Coz instead of the normal 'clips' that is used to secure the metal cover, my fan is so complicated. You have the a metal cover and a plastic ring that is used to join both the metal covers together. CoNfuSeD?
Oh well to cut the story short, it was so tricky that I told me sister that maybe for team games, I should just give them some equipment that Francis needs to be cleaned and make them clean and assemble it together, so it fulfills the team spirit criteria and also gives the much needed equipment a good clean! Haha. But not a god idea if they take it all apart and dun have a clue how to assemble it back! Just a rubbish though of the day!

There's always something new to learn
Walked to the IT section in the library and borrowed two book that I'm unlikly to borrow. One's Teach yourself visually excel, and the other Teach yourself visually Photoshop. Okay so there're not new stuffs. But I felt like I needed to 'upgrade' my knowledge on these two, as I think they're important and useful and fun. Okay, fun for photoshop but for excel.. no idea how that can ever be fun.
Amongst the others stuffs I borrowed are, health magazine, scrapbooking magazine, craft books, layout book and an Idiot's guide of how to throw a great party. So now you know me a little better. Wanted to pick up a girly, nonsense novel to read too but I figured I wouln't have time to read so many stuffs. And more over I dun have the patience to read thru novels now. Wanna pick up new stuffs now, now that I have all the time in the world ;) or do something with my hands. Like make a scrapbook or something. It will be lotsa fun.

The Waiting Game
After like weeks of waiting, finally a job agency called me up today and brought me some good news. The lady, forgot her name, told me there's a contract position for customer service over at Singtel for 6 months. She thought I'll be suitable for it since I've worked in Starhub! Haha maybe they hope I can tell them what Starhub is up to. So anyway, the reason why I took up this offer is cause I need the money, it's 5 days and unlike normal call centre working schedule, I only need to work office hours since it's handling in bound calls. I like what I hear so I told her yeah go ahead and forward my resume to Singtel. Hope to hear from them real soon.
Which means my bummer life is coming to and end.. gotta do all the things I wanna do while I can. First thing tomorrow, go swim and get baked in the sun!

Lousy Food
Alexis is not a believer that there is such thing as lousy or bad or yucky food. Take today for instance, I felt like eating rice and so ordered Nasi Goreng. When it was delivered to my table I got a shock.
Firstly, it was orange like it's supposed to be, and then the worst part, there was nothing in it, except bits of egg and it's really like bits of it, no kidding & ikan billis. Alexis thought it least it's just 2 bucks. But I dun care about paying more for decent food. I didn't pay $2 just to eat fried rice with nothing! Got me so irrated, especially when I felt like eating something with rice and not JUST rice. Felt so cheater and spoilt my mood. Alexis don't get it of how eating lousy food can upset my mood. Well at least he gave me pieces of his chicken to pacify me. But still darn! We just dun see eye on eye on food issue.....
Food is for pleasure and not mere survival. Of course it matters to me. Anyone care to disagree.

You think too highly of me
Before my mama packed off and went to Malaysia for a couple of days with my dad, she actually told me and my sister that there's food in the fridge if we want to cook anything and not to touch her washing machine. What makes her think we will even cook or better still know how to operate the washing machine of hers. It's a joke. I've been eating out every single day and it's not that bad, when you have chicken rice, KFC, carrot cake and oh yes prata. But too bad the prata turned out to be such a disappointment it killed whatever craving I had for it. Think the best place to go for prata is still Jalan Kayu.
I better pack my room tomorrow or else my mama ain't gonna be too happy to see the mess we made of the house!
