let me never forget - THANKFUL

realize that everytime comes to testimony time, i won't share cos i dunno how to really express it as eloquently or spiritually as the rest. ;D but ya, i wanna THANK GOD so here goes... a long list attributing every thanks and good thing to God for this quite-amazing week.

My week went like that:
Mon - school (11-6), work (11-7am)
Tues - school (12-6), Starbucks partner meeting (7.30-9.30), lala-land*
Wed - school (12-2), Ministry at Kallang (3-6), Piano lesson (7.30-9), work (11.30-8am)
Thurs - crash&burn (10-6pm), study
Fri - school (2-5), lala-land (9-10), work (11-6.30am)
Sat - quiz (10-11), cell group (2.30-5.30), sports (6-7.30pm), dinner (-9.30pm)

THANK GOD:

1. for those 15-20 minutes that He showed up everytime i just took up the guitar to get myself ready for the day ahead - through the long hours of work and physical fatigue, i feel it's really God's strength that help me have the capacity to look beyond what i'm feeling and focus on what i want - which is to have a good attitude, to worship Him in everything i do, outside and inside of church.

2. good health! everytime i feel like; tak boleh~~~ or even when my colleagues were getting sick, i didn't! hoho.. but still need to get enough rest.

3. totally supportive parents. i've seen a change not only in how my parents have begun to place more faith in my decisions, but how they are communicating their love more to us and to my brother. slowly, conflicts that used to arise over my brother and financial issues, are getting resolved without any raised voices! so many times the family would just pile into the van and all send me off to my workplace.. i can't say how touched i feel that i have a family that supports me like that, even when i mess up my schedule by being disorganized! X'@

4. favor of people. seriously, it's hard to keep up a good attitude when on top of your lack of sleep etc., people pick on you and make life hard. but wow, it's like, just by deciding to plow through any awkwardness & peer pressure and just doing the best i can, God just protected me from all of that. things are moving smoother at work, not only with my fellow baristas, but with customers as well. i got chocolates, hong bao & lots of marked-out food this week~!

5. During the Starbucks partner meeting, they celebrated my birthday! haha.. actually the february babies' birthdays.. but ya, so sweet - a photo of the partners at the last chalet outing + $10 isetan voucher! ;D I'm glad i chose Starbucks~ Thank God for the job!
6. Friends & family

- NUS: thanks loads to peeps like Shimin and Huiping!!! Though i wasn't in school for Valentine's Day (quite a deliberate thing actually... ;p), they made the effort to pass me a rose and a handmade heart through our mutual friends... Awww... on top of the workload and having to practice for chingay and stuff, they still found time and money to do this - though seriously i'm sure they have friends closer to them! ><>
I FEEL LOVED. ><

ok, now i shall go and have a good cry.

There must be more than this Oh breath of God come breathe within There must be more than this Spirit of God we wait on You Fill us anew we pray Fill us anew we pray Consuming fire fan into flame A passion for Your name Spirit of God won't You fall in this place Lord have your way Lord have your way in us Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord a passion for your name As Sy Rogers said today, there are things we can look back on, our memorial stones, that encourage us and give us strength to move forward. I rmb a time I was so far away and so tired of people in general, cos really it's relationships that really get me down - n when Jean would walk in on me crying or just sitting and not even having the energy to do stuff, she would listen n say 'just cry out to God alright?' and that would be the last thing i wanted to hear. sometimes you know what to do, and you know what the advice will be, but when the emotions are n...

Love is in the air...?

(3:0.) hmm.. feels like the season of BGRs, whether fulfilled, in the making or preconceived. Lol... my eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw the cover of Harvest Times. I was like, 'Whoa, Pst! Very sharp!' But then, that's after his dramatic telling of the 'Please stop match-making me... the person I want... is you!' thing... I wonder if he's behind it! Heh.. I've always been one of the youngsters chuckling behind my hand when Pst made those jokes about those singles who were 'feeling the urge to merge'. Now, with my 20th birthday just, (egads) around the corner, I'm suddenly looking around and seeing that I am now in that category of singles! (joanne clutches at cheeks & looks for a way out) Lol.. I can frankly say that I'm feeling the pressure. Not just because people I know are beginning to pair up, or coming to me to confide about their ex-es, but because of the whole stereotype of us being now of marriageable age, and therefor...

Aunt Karen just called mum to discuss plans for the trip to Whistler. awesomeawesomeawesome... no matter how cold it gets, and how early the sun sets, snowboarding will be worth it all! but seriously i'll be missing everyone in Singapore. i'm already feeling homesick every night thinking of all the things i'll be missing... no, check that, trading for time spent with family. :) no regrets, just... yeah. :'D thinking... i really wanna go for habitat for humanity. that's what's been keeping me off from the job hunt. but then i think of my parents, and i think that's selfish of me. i wish i didn't have to worry about money... so that i can give it to where it's needed. however 'World peace'-ish that might sound, it really doesn't feel good saying sorry, i can't, i'm broke. another random post marking procrastination... i should be studying now... BUT in my defense, this exam is seriously TOO drawn out. put me out of my misery nowwww ...
