Growing up

DIA TURNED 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haven attended a 21st birthday party for e long esttime.....e party really brought back memories of my younger daes...those daes when i was still so young and bubbly and er..cute? 21 years old..tt was 4 years ago...so many things have changed since then...was still an innocent undergrad at that time, full of worries only abt sch and exams...nothing compared to worries now.....n working is fun, but ...i miss sch..i really do...I miss skipping lectures, chatting thru lectures..hanging ard at the canteens....doing projects...i miSS SCH!!!....parents, grandma getting older.....more responsibilities at home.....no more kiddy grumbles......Growing old old old....hitting mid 20s or rather already at it......mid life crisis....well Life goes on....

Back to a more joyful note...We had a birthday surprise for dee dee!!!! Called all her frens secretly...n boy..the greatest satisfaction was to see the joy (or rather shock) on her face when she saw all her frens seated in the living room (we got her aunt to bring her to the kitchen n during then, got all her frens to come in and settle down in the living room!!)! So happpieee!!!!!!
Cant believe shes 'morphed' into an adult...the little dee with that ding dong specs...has bloomed so beeeaauutifully into a pretty young lady..... =)

Nitey...

Hazy daze........

Its beeeeen so hot and dry and hazzzzyyy, like at a desert! Giving me the dizzy spells....
n am havg a nagging 'muscle sore' on my left hand...Not sure why...but feels 'irrritating'! n not sure how to get rid of it! Also feeling a little 'heated'...think I need to down buckets of H20...Cant be sick this weeeeeeeeek........ Thiking abt the coming week makes me depressed. No team members physically around in Spore..Someone's coming back..etc etc etc etc...But welll, there must be some good things that will come out of the week Im sure =))))

Wow..just realised I havent blogged for almost a month.....Unlike Lydia, bloggin takes a concerted amount of effort for me haha...
The past month has been nothing but fun funfun!! Lotsa meet ups, pratas after prata (i visited all the famous prata places in the past 3 weeks. Alamin, Kayu, Casuarina,Crispyprata..bad for my waist line!!!! nO MORE PRATAS!), just truckloads of fun joy and laughter with frens! I know this is a bit random but tonite I feel that I have to really really thank God for all the frens that He has blessed with me over the past 2X years of my life...Whether is it frens from Pri sch (only keeping in touch with 3 of em but its good enough!!!), sec sch, JC, Uni, my dearie churchies whom I kind of grew up with from a geeky little teenager who cant dress for nuts n wears 'Wy wy wonder space t shirt with blue berms every week in church' to the present me (haa Hope there's some improvement), my ex collegues, my present colleagues, yellowstone peepies, etc etc...Frens truly make my world go round...I love alllll of you!!!! =) MuaCksssSSs Ha..

Its always fun to have an all girls' nites out..endless laughters n heart to heart rambles

1st October...INAUGURATION of first service at our brand new audi!..

My church finally shifted..first service was officially on 1st Oct and its was simply..a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Standing in the midst of the congregation worshipping in our very own brand new audi was truly a moment to be treasured and remembered..Finally after many many many years of being a 'nomad', my church finally can settle down in a place we can call our 'own' =). Many feelings gushed through me as I was standing there...Touched, Joyfulness, Excitement, Ecstatic, Full of thanks giving n a little proud of how far my church has come thru all the ups and all the downs over the past many years till 2dae.. Praise GOd, He has brought us thru all...n Thank God for all the committed leaders....But at the end of the day, a new place is just a place. No matter how beautiful it is or how majestic it is, it is the pple in it that will bring life to the place...Just pray that the excitement that this new place is generating will spark a fire burning in church, n a sustainable one that is...

COSB ROCKS!

Mel was back for the Inaugaration service! Sorry babe didnt spend much time with you this trip...=(

Moon cake FEstival
Somehow, the mooncake festive mood wasnt quite as 'strong'...Maybe cos I didnt do much mooncake shopping...only bought 2 boxes of Raffles hotel famous mooncakes..n they were YUMMY!! But THanks to Yilin, her invite to her new house tts nicely tucked next to CHinese Garden added a little more 'qifen' of 'Zhong QIu Jie'.
N for the firrrsssttt time since she shifted in, I finally got to see her artistically decorate home...Love her house!! Will have to crash ur house again soon hor......
