yup..this week's been rather relaxing...yet tiring especially during my weekend.friday was spent going to my travel agency early in the morning..to collect my air ticket..den..i went for my facial (tt made me more refreshed and relaxed)..and after i went for lunch,shopped ard a lil...and headed home for a short nap and shower before going for prayer mtg.supper...did it end late??i dunno leh..but i think i was too tired i slept at 1am when i was supposed to be packing my room.haha..
den on SATURDAY..it was the MID AUTUMN OUTREACH!!i felt really excited albeit a lil weary...but this outreach has blessed me so much..i just wanted to bless others in return.i felt so relaxed thruout everything..from the first day i started rehearsing with the old folks..till the very last performance.This grp of old pple..didn't know who i was..who my family members were(except a few) and thus..i didn't feel as if i had to live up to a certain expectation.i was given the freedom to just be the way i am..not feel as if i'm being judged..and these old folks are way too friendly..it just makes u happy even tho language was a slight barrier..just a smile towards each other and the sincerity can be felt.even working with those who knew my dad pretty well..i didn't feel any pressure..neither did i felt like there was some sorta generation gap.it's just so cool...being able to communicate to these adults like as if they're ard ya age.yup..we had fun terasing each other..making a fool out of ourselves..haha..i'm nv gonna forget all these enjoyable moments.
i'm gonna miss co-working with all these pple..well..more opportunities to come i'm sure!!
pple like keith aka Kok leong and auntie lucy whom i had a misconception of in the past...are actually fun loving pple...very open to alot of ideas and discussion...and i'm glad i gave em a 'chance'..haha...and so many of my misconceptions were replaced by good impressions.it's made me a happier person simply just by not judging pple...and be quick to change my mind when ever i've a bad impression of someone.Thank God for giving me this love tt's been changing...and helping me accept pple who's been irritating me...or i simply can't get along with.i'm happy everytime i'm able to talk to someone i NV cld have talked to.
yup..okie..going to china in a few hres time..so i better go pack..and watch tv!!see ya on friday!!hehe..miss all of ya!!

I got the rent lowered to what i asked for...however,even after rent was lowered,i was still short of cash.i prayed tt if it's God's will,God will send the person whom my dad had in mind to spare me some.and YES!!!!!!IT WAS ANSWERED!!!!!!!when dad knew of my intentions to set up my own biz,he said he had someone in mind who can spare me some cash...but he's know gonna ask and if it's God's will,God will speak to the person personally.I wa about to lose hope..and rebuked myself a couple of times to have faith.haha...yup!thank God!!Prayer answered!!God's been faithful..always has,always is and always will be.i believe tt since he has opened the doors,he'll bless my business too.which means u guys are gonna patronise my stall!!hahaha....thk God!!

yeah..i actually built up a customer base liao leh..it's gonna be sad to not be able to serve them when they visit again..and i'm sure they'll be disappointed not to see me too.but i hope tt they'll still buy from the shop.heh...it's cool..having customers who remember u..and want only u to serve em..or ask for u when they visit the shop.really..u guys..shld try working retail someday..tho working hrs are tiring...the achievements are fulfiling. SmileS!!
heh....yeah..almost got the Monday blues due to a lack of rest...and because there was insufficient sleep,it caused my memory to suffer from oxygen..therefore..i became forgetful..and because i was forgetful...i forgot my HP...and because i forgot my HP....i cldn't contact Jasmine or find out wat time she'll be 'visiting' me...and because i forgot my HP..i didn't know if Christina was gonna turn up(thankfully,she did).haha..Jasmine's arrival..is also God Sent man!!haha..sorry Jas...u had to work on ya off day...yeah..so why was she God Sent?cos half the batch of new arrivals arrived today..muahahahha.....and we both concluded tt....the clothes are...hahahahaha....NO COMMENTS. right jas?heh...thanks man!!if she didn't come..i dunno how long i wld've taken to unpack.haha..not bad hor??u got to see wat's gonna sell in the shop soon.hahahahahaha....i'm DEFITNITELY NOT gonna buy anymore...heh...wait til we go and shop together ok??yay!!i can't wait leh!!first time going abroad..my FIRST OWN buying trip...and yes!!my dearest Jas may most probably be going with me.haha..not bad right??just pay for air ticket,shopping expenses and maybe abit of the food.cool ah??hehe...i'm excited!!the breakfast buffet at the hotel ah..although it's the same everyday..it's very nice.gotta try it!!

*p/s: Mel,i still wanna eat peanut paste.my fren's gonna jio me le..hahaha..but i dun wanna meet him.so let's quickly eat it soon k??heheCiaoz!
Gonna be asking my grandparents to watch the outreach.Really praying tt they'll just take tt first step to saying yes.i dun care even if they do not accept Christ tt day..den again..i may feel disappointed but well..it's good at least tt they come and watch yeah?
i nv seem to have nothing to learn from the folks from cantonese service.wearing those opera costumes...sitting quietly,waiting patiently for tt few mins of 'fame',applying horrible,thick,ugly makeup...these folks nv seem to complain tt they look ugly,fat,or tt the costume's heavy or making them super hot.all they do..is to wait for their turn.
Whereas a young gal like me..is constantly complaining tt the costume makes me look fat and ugly.(well..thankfully my makeup's pretty much alright).yup...but..really..they've an attitude tt serves w/o complaining.every time i see these old folks,i just feel very happy..and whenever i see they need help or anything...i'll just volunteer my services.haha..they're so nice..so giving..and they rehearse and rehearse again and again w/o complaining lor...den every week..sure got pple sponsor something for tea break one.so sweet hor??
was looking at the two old men cleaning their makeup...ain't an easy task..but they just did it w/o even complaining how yucky those stuff were.i'm gonna learn to nv complain everytime i've any rehearsal.
Although i'm beginning to feel tired le...i'm just relying on Daddy to give me supernatural strength.Started dancing months before sonicfest...den came busy June with camps and mission trips....followed by actual Sonic Fest..den came rehearsals and practices for Celebration SUnday..which again,took up my weekends...nxt came Celebration Sunday..and now,when i thought all's almost over..with the mid autumn festival outreach nearing,joanna and jasmin..just took up another dance performance.haha..for Christmas.another chinese dance..but this time,it's gonna be choreographed by some professional.woah...confirm not easy one.cos posture,movements all these sure need to be more accurate.haha..i'm scared...but excited too!!and definitely tired.man!!...
and i just realised,gotta help estee with thanksgiving dance.estee,better give me the song soon!!if not..u know..i'm really bad at choreographing...but i'll really like to try and learn..so..tell me soon ok??
alright..back to chatting with frens!!
i also dunno leh...but nvm....i'm happy..single.
we all are..aren't we???hahaha...
while most pple are happily getting attached...or getting all sad,broken cos of problems arising in their r/s...or just broke up..sometimes,we just gotta give thanks for being yakid.
den again..dun worry...fret not..cos ur time will come..and u'll wish u;re single all over again..so stay happy single for now ya?

i'm tired...i am..but yet..excited..happy...
cos it was supper again today!!hahaha....with doreen,matt,shu and TOBY (who scared me most of the time..haha..)..wah...dad's been really good to me this week...i've been going out for sups too often this week..but he nv like nag at me...yay!!!freedom is HERE...i guess it's cos i'm responsible enuff to let him know i'll be home later also..so i guess he's fine so long as he knows where i am.thanks for trusting me!!i'll definitely not break tt trust u guys have in me.yupyup..wun lie to u all le.too old for tt!haha..
was talking to matt on our way home...hmm..and i realised how amazing growing up can be.Lil things in life,the part and parcels of growing up...weird stuff and being an older sis gave me so much opportunities to bond with my parents.not easy especially when one knows it's a step mother,step daughter kinda relationship.Our r/s definitely wasn't a smooth sailing one.God,thanks for all the ups and downs tt have brought us closer..her sharing stuff with me..and both of us simply just buying clothes for each other.yupyup...but am i ready to call her mum?i dunno..I'm just trusting in u oh God.some scars have been left behind..but i know.tt u're gonna heal them.take those scars away from me.
