Blessed

Sunday, July 29th, 2007
I’m blessed and deeply loved by God.

I live in a protected and safe shell.

The guys in my life have always sought to protect me, comfort me and help me.
I’ve always been a sturborn mule. I like things done my way, and me doing it. I do not like seeking help from any1 else. Even when people offer. I like to get things done on my own merit.

Case in Point: job seeking time. Dad has lotsa and lotsa of contacts, kept pestering me to apply for this and that, his friends here and there. I refused to. I went to the newspapers, went online, apply for my own jobs. Refusing to seek his help, even just to look thru my resume. All I did was informing him I’m going for an interview and that i got a job.

I do not like to pull strings, nor using other people to get my own gain.
But recently, been quite lost about applying for something. Since I’m no longer working, and I’m required to be a sponsor. I didn’t know what to do. I was completely foundered. I didnt like the thought of re-applying again, I wan it to be first time get it, coz re-applying it will be soo tough. So I had to type a letter explaining why I do not have the tax assessment form. Which is so bloody hard to explain. And I have to get past years assessment forms, which are buried somewhere in my room in SG. Mom repeatedly helped me turn my room upside down to search for this and that, when I asked her to find this and that…

I was so worried and annoyed.

I was about to play the blaming game…saying…
"why bloody hell couldnt you have done this and that earlier, if it wasn’t because of you…." etc etc something along that line.

Its sooooo much easier to advice others isnt it…
Called dad.

Told him of my inconfidence. Of my worries.
He just said," don;t worry, just send it up, other people of lesser abilities had gotten, so no reason why you shouldn’t, if they should reject your application, just get back to me, I’ll write in. because right now, you are not riding on my abilities, but that of your own. If you can’t get it, use mine."

After hearing that, everything just faded away.All my worries just gone. Felt so much better….

Thank you dad, for always being there, always protecting me.

Thank you mom, for never losing your temper and impatience when your daughter has hay for a brain.
Thank you God, for sending them into my life.

Missing items and The Lord

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I lost my birth cert! And all my certs!

I turned my whole room upside down, and i couldnt find it!

My mom turned my whole room upside down, and couldnt find it!

My mom is quite meticulous…so when she says she cant find, I left no stone unturned on my side..and i cant find all of my certs!!

After searching, I smsed my mom, She searched for it again…she told me that she couldnt find it as well…

I was sooo worried and soo upset, I broke down in tears. I needed it by next week. I mean I dun care if its not with me now..but at least I knw where it is..not missing somewhere in the 3rd dimension.

THen I prayed…its been so long since i had done that… I prayed, I wouldnt be surprised if HE ignores me..I mean I only pray when i need something….such a good christian I am…

A while later, the phone rang. My mom called me to tell me that she had found it!!!! The funny thing is that…the certs are not so small that it cant be found easily..its a damn A4! And when she found them, it wasn’t loose or anything! it was neatly filed in! There are only a few places in my old room i would put my stuff, she has been searching those spots, esp my table drawer…then suddenly it was there! tuck in a corner in my drawer! I mean how could you have missed a file which is thick and hard 2 times while searching a drawer??!!Even in a loose form..I could accept that it would be hard to find… Then after my prayers…my mom called to inform me that my file had been found!! There was like less than 30 mins gap from the time she had informed me yet again that she couldnt find my certs and the time she informed me that she had found them! During that time, I prayed so hard in tears…

Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To some of you may think what is the fuss all about…those are my certs…even if we dun use birth certs anymore..but they have my memories..my records of my birth. These years of studying.just to collect those stupid paper..to go missing???!! I do not like not knowing where all my impt documents are, thank you.

Its like a weight had been lifted from my heart…

I’m so grateful and so happy! I checked my emails…and a friend sent me this..today…

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN
This is one of
the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:


I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
 
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ‘This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.’
   
 
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on  voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.


Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.
 
The angel then said to me, ‘This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the  people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.’
 
I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many
blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
 
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. ‘This is the Aknowledgment Section,’
my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed ‘How is it that there is no work going on here?’ I asked.


‘So sad,’
the angel sighed. ‘After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments .’ 

‘How does one acknowledge God’s blessings?’ I asked.


‘Simple,’ the angel answered.
Just say, ‘Thank you, Lord.’
 
‘What blessings should they acknowledge?’  I asked.
 
‘If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.
 If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy .’ 

‘And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.’

Also …..
 
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day .’
 

‘If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.’

‘If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people
in the world
.’

‘If your parents are still alive and still married …you are very rare .’

‘If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you’re unique to all those in doubt and despair.’
 
Ok, what now?
How can I start?
 
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
 
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Infatuation

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

e iMy heart was pumping furiously.

i couldnt catch my breathe

I couldnt believe what I saw

Adrenalin filled me…..

How can this be….

How could such a thing happen…

why must this happen to me…

why oh why..

Caution: Please do not read further if you cant stand rantings, whinings and complaining. because its all dat.

GAWDAMN IT!
I’m supposed to be on a shopping ban!!
know what’s a shopping ban??????? Means no more shopping! No more buying!
wut had happened to my resolution of no more shopping esp Online shopping!!!!!

I was surfing the net as usual..what else could I be doing?…and what the hell am i doing….. I stumbled onto emall.com.sg (or something to dat), oh there’re quite abit of online shops listed there. So I happily click click click

Saw a few sites which caught my interest *rolls eyes*
Esp one…..I practically drool at most of the items she’s selling!!!

The long cardigan dat I have longed after
The jacket dat I’ve been wanting
The boots dat I’ve lusted after
The shirt dat I would look so officey in…I’ve always to dress like those Office ladies..I never had the chance to!!
The dress that I’ve dreamt about…yada yada the list goes on

Its a crime really… to put all the items i want onto one website, I have a tendency..i mean who doesnt…to click on the other items that the seller is selling as well….every category, there’s something I drool over. Totally sinful. I wanted to scream! and I did.

I emailed her about the dress that I have been searching high and low, low and high for (actually its quite obtainable..juz that certain things put me off from buying it at that point of time like I’m on a shopping ban, but this time the dress is tooooo kawaiii for me to say "NO!")

Juicy1184912397_201x396 THIS IS THE CRIMINALOUS Looking dress (I dun care if there’s such a word, just feel like using it. HA!)

Been wanting a smock tube dress, though I hardly wear dresses, dun even talk about tubes, my specialty is in mini skirts.  Anywayz My infatuation for the dress is definitly not HELPing. The dress that I saw has 2 pockets!! how cute is that.

If you are going to say I act cute…

Here’s my reply…ya ya yippy ya ya.

I act cute but I’m young at heart, unlike u, since u can even comment on dat ! hmpf.

Who knows I might get the shirt..I mean everyone needs one…Plus i need something which I can look more sopishicated in.

Jacket…what if I go holidaying how? I would look absolutely goooodd in the jacket!

Cardigans are goood for casual days.

Boots..drools…It’ll look so cool. I mean my boots had rot on me..so its ok to get one!

HA! I’m just giving excuses! I’m pulling out my hair here…Forgive me as i continue grumbling and ranting at the hopelessness of it all.

And nope! I’m not giving you the website! I’m not letting you lay your dirty paws on the stuff before I do…

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

P.S Hey I knw I sound abit hare-brained, cant help it, brain short circuited when i saw those stuff. Information overloaded.

WHAT THE ……..

I just finish posting this blog…

Just 1 minute later…

1 damn minute..

and I see someone organising a spree …with the dress posted above……with different colours!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this world coming to….#$%^&*()

Blogging And branded stuff!

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

how we wish we can say " hey I want that armani skirt…..while at it, mite as well get it in other colours as well!"
For us, we can only drool and look athe pictures, and look upon with envy/jealousy at those who own it and have it all. Its so bloody unfair isnt it? We work out guts out for get that one Chanel bag, then next minute this gorgeous, kept together model-like feminine species next to us is decked out from head to toe in brands name which only celebrities wear! damn it. 

SO YAYY for inspired stuff!! they r a life savers to the poor us, who adore the designs and yet have no moolahs to buy the brand dats stamp on the item. Havent u heard? Most of the branded stuff are made in places like China/India/Indonesia, but are shipped back to US to be authentically stamped by the respective company..its the bloody brands we are paying our hard earned moolahs for!!!!!

But feels good isnt it? To show off those brand name…Like those guys who wear their jeans low enuff to show off their underwear…NOW dats a good reason to get a branded underwear…who wans to see someone showing off an ah pek underwear. While looking at those creatures ard u glaring at u with ferocity/jealousy at ur ability to owe such divine creation and drooling with longing at the item in question.

But today, after getting an addiction to xiaxue blogs, i learnt to like who I am. Heck I admire dat gal for her honesty and her courage to say wutever she wants to say. Of coz she earns some of her moolahs via her blogging skills…but hey she blogs good. A blog means its ur own space ur own vent ur own thoughts, for those who condemn her, just dun read her blog, no1 is putting a knife at ur throat. U mean now we cant have a space for personal opinions? a blog is an online diary. What is a diary? go check dictionary.  Or maybe some ppl are juz attention seekers.

Every1 has their own personal opinion. Dun condemn others as u wun like other ppl forcing their own on u. Dun look for the speck of dust in others while u didnt see the plank of wood in ur eyes  (bloody hell, forgot how the proverb went..looks like my english is going straight down the drain, but u get wut i mean).

Knw how Jack Neo shows, Phua Chu Kang..why we love them? They show the poorer and lower tier of the society, they show the silliness of some of the system, how often we actually do experience them, and when we do, we end up being irritated and annoyed, Maybe dats why we r able to laugh at them. The sweet irony of the shows….=X.

YAY YAY YAY..just used IB to get a new pair of contacts!!!~~~ BT01.

0000yk6d 0000z8rz

Btw…dats not me!!!!! lol. If i ever ever pose like dat….U guys gona say ACBC…(act cute buay cute) =p

Finally I got to test out the dolly-eyed effect..took some self-convincing on my part as not sure if they r really good..as well as worry about whether its authentic. These r not international brands, if they r really authentic they r from korea…make sure its not from China..but how sure can u be..unless u have viewed the authencity cert. But then will test it out n see.

Its going to be the  end of the week in a couple of days!! I’m expecting some packages to come in(including my contacts!!!)~~ Yayyyy. its so exciting u knw receiving things that you had ordered/shopped online! Its like Xmas! except that u knw what is inside the parcel…but still….its a niceee feeling =)

I changed my bedsheets yesterday.XD. The one I got at metro closing sale at 50% off! Original price SGD 308. Got it for abt SGD 154!! Dad taught me that the thread count is really important if you wan really good sheets, the more the merrier. Look carefully at the normal sheets, it usually have holes inbetween the thread, thread count for normal queen size sheets is about 200+, but mine is abt 400+ double the amt. It feels sooo soft and luxurious and comfy!! U knw how new bedsheets can sometimes be quite rough or slightly hard? This is superly soft and nice!
Its all white! Now i have 3 bedsheets in all, 1 really nice one from Aussino, and a normal one! I had no choice, but to get a normal one, as i needed a quilt cover then. =( 
Sheets

Dun they look so nice white and fluffy?? lol

Anyway..much earlier I had said that I’m on a self-imposed shopping ban…looks like everything is NOT going my way. Simply…(contact lens not counted, its a neccesity!) becoz I saw this top..with layers and layers and layers of chiffon. Its simple gorgeous. and ya. I conveniently forgot about my ban. So much for it. Hopefully it’ll be the last last item. (HAH!)

But then I can always wear it for my fren’s wedding riteeee….maybe…not….XD

I’m In love!!!!

PC bonkers

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

My Pc just blew up in my face.

The whole day the whole place just keep on tripping. No idea wuts happening. Never touch or on any electrical appliances, just keep on tripping. Called up the electrician…reduce the sensitivity. Finally…we know the source of the problem..when my PC decided to go "POP!"

Just greatzzzzzzz….Its the sign! to change my PC again…in 2 years..not bad yeah…every 2 -3 years i get to change/upgrade my PC for a damn good reason too. It exploded in my face. XD.

The last time it went "pop" on me, I have to change my graphic card and motherboard. Before that, the airlines decided to "pop" my PC for me, I have to change the whole system. oh and before dat, DHL decided to "pop" my PC, I have to get a new HDD, New CD-rw(old one still can use after dat) and wut-not. Dats like within a span of 5 years! cool mann…good reason to upgrade/change yeah XD.

Lets’ go Let’s go to buy a new pc~~~~

Shopping addict

Friday, July 6th, 2007

okkaayy..

I have shopped wayyy too much now. Its time to stop. Been online shopping non-stop for the past few days. Its so easy and convenient u knw. Just curl up infront of the PC, in ur jammies, dun need to care about how u look. Just u and internet banking/credit card and the internet. Surfing the net for things which u dun normally see in the daily life, shopping for branded stuff at a much much cheaper rate than u can get at the local over the counter stuff.

Its time I shld lock up my credit cards. Its so tempting, just the click of the button, and there u are! u got the item! Even spree-ing, buying in bulk, u could even get things u dun normally get in Singapore! And a good rate as well.

Sigh….this is getting quite addictive. I shld stop. but oh wait! there’s a bag dat i like, and have been contemplating!. damnit. Oh well..As there is a minimum amount, and dat just a few ppl have ordered, I’ll just adopt a wait and see attitude.

I think I have gone crazy. Luckily those stuff i got are NOT really dat exp. but then..it all adds up…*sweatz*…

ENUFF IS ENUFFFFF…I gona cut up my credit cards now……

Home

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

Went back home this weekend.

Finally…

after such a long time….since i last slept on my bed.

To be with my parents again.

To spend the whole day with them.

To go shopping with them.

They must be very tired too, but they went everywhere with me.

Dad had to go out at 2am in the morning. Luckily i was there.to bring him to where he needed to go.

Then next day, he woke everyone up early. To go to HDB settle some stuff, walked ard. Went shopping. Spent tons of money. Dad and mom bought something for me.

Wanted to get durian for dad, but dunno how to choose since they didnt open it.

Miss my parents so badly.

Coz no matter wut happens or happened. They will always be the ppl whom i love more than anything else, ppl I would gladly give my life for. For i know them, in their hearts, they r the nicest, warmest and sweetest ppl ard. For i knw, to them, I’m their treasure.

I’m working towards my dream now. Just be paitent, for til then, i’ll be their pillar. Like wut they r to me.
