i'm always in awe every time i realize that things happen for a reason; it's really so heartwarming to see His hand at work in my life :')) spent my Labour Day working (irony much) and lunch break was staggered. i think they somehow left me out of the rotation D:

a customer left a bag from J's area at my area, and i passed it to him after he came back from his lunch.

J: have you eaten?
me: nope, damn hungryyyy.
J: huh! go tell them you haven't had break! come lets go.
J: (to the IC) she hasn't had lunch.
IC: ohh, come!

there were only 2 packets of food left, and I saw the IC eating at 6-ish. which means... if not for J, i wouldn't have had any lunch )): so thankyou, knight in shining armour! :D
(although the ic started calling him my boyfriend after that. tskk, you've gotta be kidding me! but i'm still really really thankful nonetheless!)

Randomly looking at people's Twitter profiles, randomly clicking on the links to their blogs and I came across this post.

Every second is God’s good gift to us, no matter what we are experiencing at any one point. Sure, there’re ups and pretty low downs… But i guess if we keep our eyes fixed on God, on His love, His plan, His mercy, His power, His goodness, basically everything about Him, we’d be a whole lot better off :) sometimes things just don’t go the way you expect them to and yeah we get knocked off our feet sometimes… But He is always there to help us up everytime we stumble, fall or wander off track.

I find that if i try to look at things from a perspective that acknowledges God in every circumstance, things seem a lot brighter even though they can get pretty dull at times. It’s just… God. He turns the ordinary into extraordinary, broken into beautiful. That’s just who He is :) words can’t even describe how thankful and happy i am to know that He loves me. It doesn’t mean that everything will turn out the way i planned it to be, but it does mean that God will never put me through anything that will harm me. Never. I do believe that. It’s like God has totally proved His faithfulness to me in ways i can’t seem to pen down.

Sometimes we just need to be broken to be healed. Sometimes we just need to be broken to be made whole again. Sometimes we just need to be broken to experience God on a whole new level. One thing’s for sure, God never wastes our pain. And He definitely fixes things, one way or another. He’s like the super glue we all need in our lives :) best part: He loves us so much even when we will never deserve it. It’s like when we know how much we’ve failed, how hopeless, broken, full of shame, pride, and the list can go on……………. basically how ‘bad’ we are, we can have a better understanding of just how precious, how much that gift is worth :)

i do not want to imagine my life without God. It would just be scary and not worth living. It was when i had nothing left, literally no strength, no courage, nothing left to live for that God just carried me through. It was then God helped me to realize how much i need Him and want Him in my life. No God, no me. Simple as that. In the words of Corrinne May, “but what am I but a single breath that only You sustain.” How true :)  i guess life won’t seem so hard and tiring if we trust God and know that He will always provide :) take things one day at a time, trusting and knowing that God will provide.

og mate, thanks for reminding me that we have an awesome God :)

really so thankful for all the angels He has sent into my life

so touched that one rmbed what was going on and tried to help me prevent any shit from happening even though we haven't exactly spoken in the past week, plus the fact that he actually went straight to the organizer; and another for always being there whenever I was feeling down. it's always a coincidence that a conversation starts whenever I'm angsty, really so thankful for the listening ear.

I couldn't have asked for more. to the two of you, thanks for always being there for me. and to the first angel, you don't know how grateful i am for what you did eventually. much love from me to you both! :)

His mercies are really new every morning. Just so thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon me even though I'm so unworthy. 96%, seriously? Totally made my day! Let's hope this assignment and the test next week can pull my grade back up to a B+.

And I'm really really proud of people who know that they are deviant and yet have the courage to touch on that particular topic during a presentation; really warms my heart. Good job, Yen Ping! (':

I'm on a happiness streak, really. Was omw to tuition when my kid's mum texted me to say that he isn't feeling well and asked if i can come in tmr instead. And it so happened that my bus was just about to reach my house. Is God good? Yes He is. Without a single doubt.

Met the Sgoon people from ODAC just now to satisfy my cravings, bumped into Jasmine! I think Gwend wants to kill me right now tho teehee. Thanks for the ride home, Nian Deng! No more rendezvous at Gardens in the near future with him alrdy cause he's moving to hall. Sobz.

Meeting Gabriel and the 小瓜子 tmr! :D Uber last minute, but me like.

We did it entirely by God's grace. Ever so thankful to Him for seeing me through everything life throws me :')


Wanted to post the photos we took today, but the only one I have isn't really very nice haha. Shall wait for Olivia to upload 'em. Meanwhile, y'all get to see a pretty photo of us in a pretty place!


Woke up after 8 hours of sleep, no idea what I'm gonna do now. Maybe I should just go back to sleep and wake up earlier tmr to do my readings after I'm done talking to my (non-biological) brother.

Ever so thankful, ever so grateful. His mercies are new every morning.

I've always wanted an A for this module, but I never felt competent enough to be awarded an A. Especially since A is equivalent to 94%. It's seriously a dream come true.

The swell satisfaction when you've attained what you've secretly longed for but thought you could never get; priceless.

So far, its been nothing short of a blessing in disguise.
So thankful, more than ever before ☺

because God is good, all the time.
Never doubt that.

His timing is always perfect (:

Haven't felt so stressed for a long time. Okay maybe the only time I felt THIS stressed was on the eve of my double 3hour paper day during the A Levels.
I would probably attribute it to my fear of failure. Especially for Psych. I need to get at least a B-, I can't get any lower ): In terms of Socio Stats, I think it's more of the pressure to do well enough to attain a B+/A- overall that's causing me to feel this way. Doesn't help that the authors of the Stats textbook can't freaking write properly. I don't get why they have to lauch into a lengthy cheem explanation just to get their point across. >:(

Nonetheless, I'm thankful that He always sends people to comfort and cheer me up whenever I'm feeling down. (:


And I really really miss my girls. I miss all the daily hugs of reassurance from them, all the hugs to cheer me up, and all the just-for-fun hugs. Can't wait to see them after next week! Especially these 2 darlings! <3 Super happy that they're coming to SIM! UOL and UB respectively~
 
And I can't wait to pack my room after Finals too. It's a freaking warzone. Brought my MacBook back to eServ today to rectify the battery problem (and in a way prevent myself from watching shows before Friday) so I'm using my dad's old laptop, which doesn't exactly have a trackpad (cause Lenovo is annoying like that) and I usually connect one out of convenience. But now, the mouse is no where to be found. Partially ransacked my room but I guess the mouse really ran away. Along with my thumbdrive. So annoying. I can understand if the thumbdrive gets misplaced cause it's kinda small. But a mouse?!
 
Seriously can't wait for 11am on Friday. So many things that I wanna do, so many people to meet. I kept telling people 'after 27th April', so much so that I've forgotten who I'd agreed to meet. So if y'all forget to ask me again after Friday... Too bad.
 
Hyped up for Summer 2012 nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Esp after what just happened. :D
Super thankful, and I've learnt my lessons.
1. Karma is a freaking bitch.
2. Itchy fingers will never be in your favour.
 
Through it all, I really realized the importance of His timing. It always works out awesomely. Never doubt that. Yes, He might alrdy have arranged for the swop a long time ago. But honestly, it came at a time when I was feeling down, and trust me, the moment the swop was agreed upon, my spirits sky rocketed. No joke. So I'm gonna go to bed as a happy kid!
 
Meeting the BFF tmr! Just as well, I need someone to help maintain my sanity.
The best thing that has ever happened in Spring 2012 :)

So. I knocked out last night after finishing one-third of my essay. Woke up to a rude shock this morning when I realized it was already 8:45am. Believe it or not, I was done in an hour. And I finished the entire essay, not only the draft. Mavis read through it and went, "How did you write so much in 1.5 hours?" Honestly, I don't know. But no matter what, thank you daddy God! (:

And it's been confirmed that I work better under pressure. For 2 journal assignments that I did at the eleventh hour, I had an A grade. Same goes for my Mid Term essay. A freaking A grade. Compare and contrast with the other journals and take-home essays? B. Maybe I should just do all my work at the eleventh hour, seriously -.-"

Oh anw, I have totally no idea what to write for the note. Esp since it's going through S. If it's direct, maybe I'd have stuff to talk about. I can't exactly include all the inside-jokes and all. I mean, yes I can cause no one's gonna judge me. But still...
Anyhow, I'm still quite glad S asked me. Truth be told, I was kinda shocked and surprised to receive the FB message. Ahh but who cares; even if she sent it to a gazillion other people, I'm still happy that I'm remembered. :)

Btw I cooked pasta for dinner. Waaaay too much pasta, too little sauce. Sigh, my life sucks like that. Oh but yay, I have a ready stash of food at home now! In preparation for next week. I'm gonna stay at home like a good girl. Plus, I need to save money too uh. Can't wait for next Friday, next Saturday and the following Saturday! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Oh and yeah. Pinned up my fringe for the first time this semester; do I really look that different? Mavis was trying to locate me among the crowd in the canteen but failed, and she said, "I think I couldn't find you at first cause you look different today."

Huh, really meh D:

Okay, back to Socio research paper. For now.

And I know, it's all His work. Thank you daddy God :)

(random photo again; what's new?)
