My date with Yen Nee

Unfortunately, we love the food and took only one picture. We went over to Downtown nearby where we lived after work. I ate some rojak, some Arabian toast (my favourite) and some mushroom soup =) I love simple food. Easy to eat, tastes good, with great company.

Yen Nee is my housemate, btw. She took that picture for memory =)

It's December!

One more month before we welcome a whole new year. Getting excited again, making new goals, feeling determined to achieve those goals... So, what have you achieved this year so far?

I read back my short "list" I wrote to achieve this year. Not the detailed one. You can read here

Well, I did not achieve item 1 (sing "opera" style) as after a while I did not think it's my cup of tea. Really got to work on items 2 and 6 (better GPA and time management).

I'm still learning. This list was the first that I wrote so I've got a lot to improve on. Next list I'm gonna be more specific and detailed ;)

Having goals and visions in life is very important. Shows that you care about progress. It's about wanting to improve and learn; about setting a target and plan on how to achieve that target. Challenge yourself in 2011. Be better than 2010.

Oh, and constantly do evaluations on yourselves =)

I wanna be like you

When people say these words to me, of course I would be flattered.. but I will be a bit frightened as well. Many questions I would ask:

Am I good enough?

Why?

What did I do/say?

What if this is not the real me? *gasps*

People do observe other people and choose to model after those they look up to. Those they respect and are inspired by their lives.

I told Jesus, "I wanna be like You."

When I can be like Jesus, I can inspire others to not be like me, but be like Jesus.

Go around, inspire others.. make disciples.

Keep a quiet heart

Been reading this book during office hours (yes, I'm quite free during working hours heheh). It's compilation of Elisabeth Elliot's newsletters.

I'm very inspired by what she wrote. I pray that I'd have the ability to withstand all kinds of problems and still give thanks to God.

I wish I can share with you so many articles from this book, but I rather you read it :)

"Father, let our faithful mind
Rest, on Thee alone inclined;
Every anxious thought repress,
Keep our souls in perfect peace."-Charles Wesley

Deepavali 2

Just need to record this. You know the rice deco thingy during Deepavali, they draw some flowers and put colourful rice on the floor? Haha. I helped to dye the rice today at work. So colourful and pretty numi and blene would love to take pic of em.

Fun stuff. I got my hands coloured.

This is the end product =D Satisfied! We sort of rushed to finish this so can go home early... kekeke

Happy holiday everyone who will be having holiday tomorrow... ..

Retreat

During Deepavali break I joined the West Zone Leaders for the West Zone Leaders Retreat. Being part of the committee for my first retreat was quite fun. I got to know more leaders, really had a great rest and peace at Sanctuary Resort, Cherating.

Love beach, the sound of the wave, the breeze. Unfortunately I couldn't spend much time alone at the beach.

I didn't even know the picture above was taken until the photographer sent it to me on fb. I went to the beach first thing in the morning (after breakfast) but later on had to rush to first session. But it's alright =)

Looking forward to the next retreat!

Eucharisto Night

Eucharisto means "thank you". It's a night where we appreciate the guys. They have been the one who without asking, carry the girls' bags, books, make sure we walk in front, make sure we are safe, etc. W23 guys are really gentlemen. And so we, girls, prepare a night just for them, and also we invite other guy friends to join us! This is one of LoveAlert's big project for this month =)

These are the girls who worked so hard to make the night memorable and successful. They cooked 4 pots of noodles, bread butter puddings to feed 15 hungry boys (after the noodles they begged us to not feed them already haha), pizza, skewed meat with special sauce >.<, muffins and cream puffs! The girls have been cooking since 12pm. *applause*

We had dinner, ice-breakers, performances, best dressed guys to catwalk and prize giving, and ending song. =)

So these are the guys who were present. I hope they all had a memorable and great night.

Well, after the night W23 guys immediately helped clean up the hall and kitchen. I think it's in them already. Can't have them rest just for one night.

Thanks everyone..
