Another year of God's goodness
Another Birthday, another year of God's goodness. Thank you for always being there to guide me, to lead me, and most importantly to love me. Thank you for loving me inspite my weakness and my failures. Words alone cannot express the gratitude pf what you have blessed me with. I just want to abide in your love and want to know and love you more. It's just great to know that I'm loved by so many of my friends. Thanks for all your love and all your wishes :)
Thanks to all my freinds who made me feel special on my birthday and especially Alexis for making my birthday such a memorable one. Shall post the photos soon and share my excitment. I don't wanna grow up or grow old..

Count down 5 4 3 2 1!
Another 2 days to my birthday. But work's been disgustingly busy. In fact was in the office till almost 9 tonight. But I gotta clear as much as I can zip off for the FNL committee meeting tomorrow evening. So by the end of the head, felt a bit blind from staring too hard at the comp and head was swirling. Good thing Alexis was in town and offered to send me home. Thanks :)
Anyway FNL, yipe exciting stuff going to take place at the youth service very soon! But to be totally honest I had much reservations to be in the committee initially after we had some changes to the committee. But last Sunday during the worship, God chided me for my self seeking thoughts. It was like Him looking down at me and asking me if I really loved him, and if so, why do I have reservations serving him and His people. Part of me was thinking that it's not even an event for me and work's so busy that I can't even be there so how can I be effective by serv ing in the FNL comm? But He just spoke in a gentle voice, oh..which made me feel even worse, the guilt! That he still loves me and do I love him?
After the service, talked to Alexis and he was concerned that I'll get my hands too full with too many things to do and end up complaining and serving out of an obligation instead of passion. Which is one thing I do very often, I start doing something with alot of enthusiasm, but later get tired when I don't see results and start my ranting no end. So I prayed about it and somehow what God said at the service kept ringing thru my head. Like how can you even ignore that right? So after 2 days of weighing out the should I or should I not, finally decided that Yes I will and yes yes yes. Not because the guilt treatment worked but because of the whole purpose of it. Yes Purpose. Sometimes even with the best intentions, purpose gets drowned and people becomes directionless, running around in circles being busy but not knowing where they are heading. So I thought about the purpose and yes I do want to see youths coming together to worship, youths having a service to call their own, youths bringing their friends to a service where they can rock the house down and most importantly where they are fed spiritually with the Word. And that's the Purpose of FNL.
So you think you're prepared for some radical worship, some life changing message, some fantabulous fellowship and fun. Don't be the last to know.. only at Friday Nite Live!

Birthday Wishes
Thanks to all who got me the HUGE cheery sunflower, choc cake, hugs, birthday wishes and prayers :)
Eeleen & Rach: It was fun just having girly chit chat and sinful waffles with ice cream and oreo cheese cake. We should do this more often. Waffles on Tuesday? :P
Jael: Hey girl, thanks for your prayers and you've been a joy and sunshine to me too!
A song that Rach & Eeleen composed for me. Thanks for making me feel special in your eyes *hugs*
I will be friend to you
Oh because of what I see in you
A simple girl who's simply living
For the cause of love
Su..san is her name

A simple girl who's seemingly navie
She came and made herself a friend to me
Thank God for girl frens

Been a while since I last updated.
Had BBQ gathering at Bro Chee Keong's place at Bishan. Was a pretty fun and cosy time where the young adults gathered together for fellowship over food. So honoured to have the two senior Pastors grace the occassion too. Am very excited of the birth of this new cell that will take place forthnightly on Thurs evening at their place. Been wanting to be part of a cell for a long time.. Sometimes you just feel tired of always serving that you feel you want to be on the receiving end.
Work has certainly taken a toll on me. Feel fatigue and just dread working.How I wish to be a student again. Oh well, *snaps back to reality* Phoof..
Anyway this is gonne be quite a busy week for me. Got FNL meeting, training sessions, new cell, FNL... Only have one free evening for myself so I decided to get my dosage of exercise and get my lazy butt out to jog. Pretty good considering I didn't faint in the park! K I feel that I'm just rambling some random nonsense now. My mind's just not thinking straight.. Better take a shower and go sleep now.

Lunch Time recreation club
Today my colleagues decided to eat in. And since I've been out for lunch almost everydaqy last week, I thought why not. We ordered chinese food and it was delivered right to the office. And of course with a two hour lunch break, we had plenty of time.
Then I found out that they had intentions to eat in so that they could learn balloon sculpting. What fun. But frankly, it was scary. The squeeky sounds from twisting the balloons. But guess what I made a flower and a bumble bee! Oh I'm really good at this :) Woo hoo.. I am so going to buy some books and balloons and start my own business doing this. Kidding :P But I'm going to get started very soon..

April Showers
Ever since I started to work, I have been looking forward to each and every public holidays. Needless to say, THank God for Good Friday! Good Friday service was quite quiet. Not many people turned up. In fact I was also tempted to sleep in after retunring home late from the previous night of video editing at Francis and Joce's place. The pastor who preached used his magic illusions and drawing to preach. Felt like I was in a Prasie Kids' service for a moment.
Came home in the afternoon with Alexis to continue with the video. Was a long long day and finally 80% finished. Tomorrow's going to be the final full dress rehersal and I got roped in to do some narration.
Since I wasn't working today I went for a swim. Resolution I made to at least exercise once a week.. Ha which I have been failing at which pathectically. Anyway bad decision to swim without my goggles. Could only swim for two laps in the comptition pool before I gave up and just sokaed myself in the kid's pool. I couldn't keep my eyes open and worse i was wearing my contacts. Managed to swim a bit and just tanned in the sun. Of course, I was amused as usual by the number of guys who just tanned by the pool and didn't even once touch the pool. Vanity *tsk tsk* Of course nothing beats the sight of guys who run out to the poolside once they spot the sun. But don'e they know that even when the sun is not glaring, they can still get tanned? Himbos?? Oh well, shall not be so critical.
About time to head down to Roxy now. *Tata*
