Living out Faith

Was a Kylie's concert last night and wow! She's the best! I had so much fun! Stood up and danced from the time she got unto the stage right till the end. She even gave a 30 mins encore! She's regained her position as my number favourite female singer! And thanks Dion for going with me. I'm still reeling from the concert! I'm hoping and hoping that she'll be back again for another concert. Kylie!!!

Today is the American Thanksgiving. Well, although I'm not an American and do not really celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm am reminded to be thankful for everything that I have. And more importantly, everything I have is from the Almighty. I am truly grateful for all that I have. There's nothing that I lack and God has provided more than sufficient for me. I'm also very thankful for the new apartment that we're renting now. So thankful that we've finally moved to a bigger place with more space for all my stuff. We're still in the process of unpacking and we need to get a few pieces of furniture. Am very thankful for Babe for helping and doing most of the move. Am grateful that his work is flexible enough for him to move things over when I'm at work. There's actually nothing more that I can ask for in my life. God has given me so much in life and I truly feel so blessed. Maybe next year, we might start having Thanksgiving dinner. Just maybe......

Babe came back on Friday night. Thank God! Am really glad that he's back because we're finally moving. On Thursday, I met the agent and landlard to sign the lease, get the keys and hand over the deposit. Wished I didn't have to part with that amount of money! On Friday, we didn't manage to do anything because I was at course all day and had class in the evening. Babe came back only in the evening. Woke up on Saturday and was excited thinking that it was our wedding anniversary. Our 6th! Can't believe that we've lasted so long! Woohoo! Packed some stuff and moved to our new place. Did that the whole afternoon. Evening came and we just decided to go to a suburb near us to eat. Too tired and lazy to bother to go far for a nice dinner. Sunday came and while we were getting ready to go to church, Babe suddenly exclaimed while looking at his wedding ring. "Our wedding is on the 23rd not the 22nd!" And I went....Opps....And then I realised...We started dating...

Babe's away for work this weekend again. But I've had a full weekend. Got me a facial and a massage on Saturday afternoon and then met Karine for tea. Had a great time with her. It was nice chatting and talking just about anything and everything. Got home, was way too full to have any dinner. And on Sunday, all thanks to Mel, she organised a little trip to Macau to watch Zaia. And oh my goodness, we did have so so much fun! She brought along her friend, Angela and boy was she a blast too. We had so much fun just talking, laughing and cracking up. I reckon that our conversations were way more fun and interesting than Zaia. But I must thank Mel for making the effort to get us to watch the show. Zaia was really enjoyable, though I nodded a little in the first 10 mins. I slept really late on Saturday, you know? But then the show really started going and wow, it was really spectacular! As I get to spend more weekends on my own sometimes, I'm thankful to be surrounded by frien...

Last night, I met up with a couple of ladies for dinner at Under the Bridge Spicy Crab. The food there is really yummy! And i love crabs too. Very good food. Went home with a happy belly. But I made sure that I went to the gym before tucking into the yummy fried crabs and fried everything. Oh yes, I'm trying, making an effort to go to the gym more to run. Been thinking about it and all thanks to Mel, she's suggested that I join her for a 5k run. I'm like....errrr.....I've never really run in my life till recently and it's more for health and staying fit and not gaining weight reasons. But with her suggestion has been stuck in my head. So now....trying and working it out to really see if doing a 5K run is feasible. Well, as long as I don't come in last, I don't care! And or if I'm about to come in last, I might just faint and pretend! Anyway, a couple of days I ago, I sent an email to my ex-colleagues congratulating her on her wedding but I had to send my...

2 nights ago I read about giving cheerfully to God while doing my quiet time. It served a great reminder to me. All my life I knew very well that I had to give 10 percent of what I've been given back to God. But the reality is that its only recently that I've made that my priority. Rather sad, huh? All throughout my life even right up to now, I have always relied and will continue to rely on God's providence upon me. When I left for uni, dad had financial difficulties and I still went ahead believing that God will provide. Sure, there were hard times but I had the best times in uni. God provided me with a scholarship for tuition fees and I worked for living expenses. And God delivered on His promises, He provided. Graduated, and well, tithing was never really a priority to me. There were always other stuff that came before tithing and I never really put in 10 percent for God. Still God provided and I continued shopping and buying. I left for Sydney to do my masters with a b...

There are things about Singapore that irk me, especially now that I live overseas. Somethings become more apparent even though I wished that I wouldn't have these feeling about my country. Don't get me wrong. I love being a Singaporean. I'm proud to be one and don't think I'll ever trade my citizenship for another. Don't ever foresee myself doing that unless something really drastic happens. But seriously, for now, no, I am still happy and proud to be a Singaporean. The rising cost in Singapore really irks me. As the Singaporean government announces that Singapore is slipping into recession, they are raising public transport costs, not dropping power bills even though petrol prices have come down. Before heading to States over summer, i was thinking of flying to States out of Singapore but didn't do it eventually, because the service charge and tax alone is close to SIN$1000. When I brought this up to someone whom I know who works in the aviation industry, h...
