| DVC - Book |

currently at chapter 45 of the DaVinci Code, i still have 60 chapters more and an epilogue before i finish the 592 593 pages thick book.

i haven't had the time like i had for Memoirs of a Geisha, (i finished that in 5 days whilst working), except for today - my boss is on MC. just 2 days ago, i was on MC, and now its his turn. i feel bad. could it be my virus? because technically, i'm still recuperating and virus then are the most active.

that aside.

had borrowed the DVC from a friend who has a wide collection of books. its been in my possession for close to 2 weeks and i'm nowhere near half. what a shame. and now this friend has left for nepal for some mission work, i'm gonna force myself to finish this book within the 10 days that he'll be away, and return it when he comes back.

in this way, it will not look bad on me.

so slow.

if you'd just admit it, this would not have happened.

i wasted 5 years.

i will be so strong, you wouldn't even recognise me. my life will go on without you.

| Go There With You |

my favourite song, the ultimate love song.

Go There With You
by Steven Curtis Chapman

I know you've heard me say these words before
But every time I say "I love you"
The words mean something more
I spoke them as a promise
Right from the start
I said death would be the only thing that could tear us apart
And now that you are standing on the edge of the unknown
"I Love you" means I抣l be with you
Wherever you must go

CHORUS
And I will take a heart who's nature
Is to beat for me alone
And fill it up with you, make all your joy and pain my own
No matter how deep a valley you go through
I will Go there with you
And I will give myself to love the way Love gave itself for me
And climb with you to mountian tops
Or swim a raging sea
To the place where one heart is made of two
I will go there with you

I see it in your tears, you wonder where you are
The wind is growing colder and the sky is growing dark
Though it's something neither of us understands
We can walk through this together if we hold each other's hand
I said for better of for worse I'd be with you
So no matter where you're going
I will go there too...

CHORUS

I know sometimes I let you down
But I won't let you go
We'll always be together

| My Journey |

3 nights ago, a friend sent me a testimony of how he got to know Christ. it talked about the 10 years journey it took him to finally find God. it was most touching, and indeed, i teared after reading it.

we're actually quite similar, the friend and me. and immediately i felt a connection.

i guess in all my 489 posts in this blog, i'd never once written about my early years as a christian in depth. well perhaps its time i start penning it down.

i realised the existence of Jesus when i was as lil as 6. despite my parents being both buddhists, they sent the 3 of us to a catholic school. all 3 of us did our primary and secondary education in the same school, and that was when it all started.

in school, they had regular masses, and we always said grace before and after meals. there were also weekly catechism classes for catholics and for those who were interested in knowing more about God. all those had shaped my thoughts and beliefs and slowly, i found myself distancing from buddhism.
whenever i asked my parents about how buddhism came about, they weren't able to explain their faith to me, couldn't tell me the origin and how their god and worship came about. i thought it strange, but never questioned more than i was already told.
as the years went by, i'd learnt more and more about God and Jesus, and even Mother Mary. i was even more determined to know more about Them. i stopped going to the temples with my mother, and started going to church, occasionally with my grandmother, who was a devout Catholic, and most of the time with my big sister, whom was more into the Christian faith, and whom i also became very much like.

we started with Faith Community Baptist Church (FCBC). i was 12, and it was after my PSLE. it was a very charasmatic church and i felt uncomfortable with all of them jumping to the music in worship to the Lord. and worse of all, i couldn't understand how Christians actually do not pray to the Virgin Mary! in all my 12 years then, all i remember ever being taught was that Mother Mary would intercede to God and Jesus for us whenever we prayed, for she was after all, Jesus' mother. furthermore, i also thought after Jesus was raised, Mother Mary followed suit. but when my sister told me to check against the Bible, i couldn't find any record and i knew then, that all i had ever been taught in primary school weren't the whole truth. i struggled with this fact for a long long time, i finally decided to join my sister in bible study lessons because i wanted to know more about God, Jesus and if possible, Mother Mary.

we attended FCBC for awhile, until one day, my sister said there was a prophet who was coming to town and invited my entire family there. is prophet the right term? he did, after all, lay hands on me and prophesized about how i would be, if i had been a faithful disciple of Christ.
i've been searching for that tape that recorded down his exact words, and my sister even wrote it out for me. i haven't been successful though.
amidst the words i could vaguely remember, "Thank you Lord, that her studies are well, that she will do her parents proud. things that her mother never thought she'd be capable of. thank you Lord that she will soar on eagles' wings, she's gonna do great things."

and i thought i would really do great things. i guess that was not to be. not now at least.

after FCBC, my sister decided she wanted to change churches, being young and ignorant, i tagged along. her piano teacher was an Adventist, and she was the one who brought my sister to the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church everyone claimed was a cult.
things weren't so bad when we got there, in fact, things were even better and i enjoyed the quiet service they had, which was very much like the average Catholic Church. that was where my Bible knowledge grew, and that was also where i'd learnt the most. i was 13 going on 14, a blooming teenage girl where crushes and infatuation were the norm.

somewhere in the midst when i was 15, i decided it was time to get baptised. my parents didn't agree of course, because although they gave us the freedom to choose whatever religion we might like, they weren't ready for their baby girl to get baptised. i pleaded and i begged, and finally my dad gave me the green light, i was delighted! but my focus on the Lord would sadly be short-lived.

a filipino guy, whose name i won't mention, was my crush. he was 22 when i was 15. that was a good whole 7 years of difference in age and race, but crushes and infatuations knew no boundaries. he drew me further away from God, i became distracted. slowly, my attendance for any events were whether he was there or not, rather than for God. it was bad, but the feelings during pyberty were strong, it consumed the rational side of me. not long after, he and his family had to leave for the States. they were missionaries, and hadn't a stable home. their 3 years stay in singapore was up and had to move to another place where they were needed more. i was so upset when he left, and so upset i would never see him again. but it was good in a way, i
could now go back to being the christian i had always wanted to be.
at that time, my sister left yet again, to my present church, an Anglican church. but i stayed on for another year or so. only when i felt my growth in the Lord had turned stagnant, i left too. i didn't stay on because i wanted to wait for that guy, i knew it was impossible even if he came back. and i thank God we haven't crossed paths after so many years. his deep blue eyes were the loveliest i had ever seen, and i'm sure if i saw those eyes again, i might just be swept off my feet.

*lolx i'm just kidding. i'm sure he's old and happily married with a child or so now.

eventually, i left the SDA community with a heavy heart, and i decided henceforth, that i would take a break from going to church, until i was ready. i was 16 then.

after a few months, i joined my sister in my present Anglican church now and stayed on ever since, though she now attends another anglican church with her husband-to-be.

i joined the youth and became very active in many areas. camp, retreats, street evangelism, outings, crusade etc. met yet another bunch of guys whom i became pretty close with, but like i mentioned before, not intimate enough to become an item. the youth pastor didn't quite like the fact i was always the centre of attraction and tried to 'banish' my friendship with many of them. they picked on the silliest things like my dressing. naturally i became angry and decided to drop it off once and for all. i went back to the main adult service.

in the end, the Reverend at that time thought the youth was growing in a wrong way, they looked up to their youth pastor more than they would to Jesus and decided unanimously to break up the youth community. they objected and left to set up their own church. their charasmatic worship and manner also found it hard for the church elders to accept.

things became peaceful once again, until after my 'o' levels, where i had to find a temp job to fill my time. that was when i met my fiance. i was 18.

he was the reason why i distanced away from God too. and to be completely honest, he's still one of the many reasons why i haven't been able to get my relationship with the Lord back on track. my disappointment in people through out those early years of my young faith also left a scar, i'd been afraid to go back.

so now, 5 years later, i'm still with him. he's now attending church with me, but we haven't found a cell yet. when we do, will i be able to burn for the Lord once again, just like old times?

| Fathom |

its hard to fathom one's heart. even i dunno what goes through my head anymore.

further studies. overseas or local?

i've always wanted to go aussie for my degree, but i guess being in the country that we are in, unless our family has loads of spare cash, that idea simply wouldn't work out.

but money isn't the issue here.

we've talked about it. i guess i could, but i often ask myself if i'd be strong enough to do so. leaving my family, my pup, and even the boyfriend behind. and if i had a nice bunch of friends, would i be able to leave them all behind?

i can't.

i mean, how many are willing to step outta their comfort zone, to experience something totally alien?

which is why i still chose to do my studies here eventually.

received my offer letter today, 5 exemptions. double major. mid-july.

i'm finally gonna be a student again after close to 2 years.

thank you. =)

| The Terror |

the terror is here again.

the boyfriend says i'm not myself.

but why should i be when they always do the behnd-closed-doors act?

*pui

gotta go, i'm rushing for some ORD celebration. *lolx

| Da Vinci Code |

am finally able to blog on my new lappie.

anyway about the movie on tuesday night. it was after a long wait and massive negotiations with the boyfriend's army-mates on the day and time.

*sigh

boys.

so prior to watching the movie, i've heard what the story was all about and that many Christians' faith around the world have been so shaken that many religious groups in the world, including singapore, tried dissuading the authorities to ban this movie from screening here.

that aside.

in all honesty, my goose bumps kept rising, and my hair standing in most parts of the movie.

the author tried to used actual events and characters in history, to support his claims and absurd imagination. it was brillant of him in this aspect, but he certainly not have enough facts to pull off this stunt.

they talked about some power that will only be released when a man and woman unite (e.g. sex), with the whole
congregation watching. that's orgy as far as i'm concerned, and obviously associated with the occult, satanism and the Devil worship.
so then tell me, how righteous is this group of people indulging in some secret sexual rituals as such?!

blasphemy. indeed.

and fyi, there is no gospel of Philip. there is also no gospel of Mary Magdelene, or Thomas, or Mary for that matter. there is also no Holy Grail and no "royal bloodline". and even if there were, there must be a reason why at the final compilation of the different books, the Bible only has 66 books, not more, not less. remember, in all that we were taught, everything happens for a reason. and you would think God had no involvement in this matter?

NO.

there is only one God the Father, together with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity. when God the Son was on earth as a mortal man just like every one else, He had God the Father's divinity in Him which was why He was able to perform so many miracles. He was not a mere man. He was God.

i've read about Gnosticism, about the Knights' Templers, Priory of Sion and even the Essene Scrolls and each of what i've read have their own versions of "truth".

i admit whilst reading those, i've been rather disillusioned. but the more i read, the more i knew if those were the "facts" they claimed were true, then where is the consistency???

one book says Jesus and Mary had a daughter, the other book claimed they bore a son. worst still, there were some who claimed they had 3 children in fact and that Jesus did not die physically when crucified, but only a 'spiritual death'?!

these pple completely have no idea what they're talking about.

utter rubbish.

there can be a million and one claims and none of us will ever know if its true or not, unless we ourselves believe in that truth.

so i guess this is where romans 10:17 comes in.

"so then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing from the word of God"

| Memoirs |

i wanna get a nice beach mat, soon.

and i also wanna change my blogskin. maybe do a skin on my own. nah, dun have the time.

i've been late for work consecutively since last wednesday. i am the most screwed up staff ever.

work aside.

i've finished the oh-so-precious-and-expensive book that the boyfriend's friend had lent to me him. before i go on about how i feel about the story after having watched the movie and read the book, i must say how hard i've tried to keep the book as clean and as new as i possibly could. i tried not to hurt the poor pages by giving any dog-ears. and when i was told i mustn't stretch the book too wide, i knew somehow, the book must have a life on its own, for if i had done so, the book would scream in pain and scared the daylights outta me. i tried, i really did. please believe that i've tried so hard i almost burst into tears when i found the back cover and a few pages before the back cover with a couple of dog-ear marks.

i'm terrible sorrie!!!

its a good book, though i found it hard to believe the characters and story were entirely invented. how can it not be true? nevertheless, geisha's aren't that glamourous ever all huh? they undergo training practically all their lives just to end up with their virginity up for bidding. so sad lor.

alright, enough of being sappy. i'm tired and i wanna go home NOW!!!

| Pairs |

i still owe a post on my KL trip.

but i need to say something.

isn't it amazing when things come in pairs? it just dawned upon me that God is so clever, creating us, wherever necessary, in pairs.

let me illustrate my point:

weak left + healthy right eye = me

see? pairs complement one another. just like i'm a right-hander, so my left hand is more retarded in one sense or another. but together, it makes a good pair.

God is good, He's so clever, i guess that's why He's God and not us.

| Latest |

i've finally decided i'll blog today since my boss is on leave the entire week. have also realised how much i had missed out on writing e.g. Mother's Day, my new glasses, swimming, youth service @ church, dinner for dear's family, fixing the com etc. and i figured, if i still don't make an effort to write about it, i may as well forget it forever! so here i am.

1) My Boss in on a week and a half's leave starting from last tuesday. and he hadn't left me any work to do despite my countless hints on how bored i'd be. so i managed to find something to occupy myself - i've been helping my colleague bind books. hey that's an easy job, and who's to say that isn't tedious and time-consuming?
and in addition to that, i've also brought a book to entertain myself - Memoirs of a Geisha. i finally managed to get the book, the boyfriend borrowed it from one of his army friends. only constrain about this book lender is that i mustn't open the book too wide for fear of stretching and spoiling the oh-so-precious-and-expensive book. *sigh
of course i'm not allowed to be openly reading whilst at work, so i've been craning my poor neck like a primary school girl trying to finish her favourite story book as soon as she cans during the boring lessons in class.

number of days boss on leave: 7
any forms of entertainment: Memoirs of a Geisha
any "actual" work: book-binding

2) Vesak Day and Mother's Day on 12th and 14th May respectively, i had
followed my family to the temple for vegetarian food in the morning before i went off on my own to scout for a decent prezzie for the boyfriend. fortunately on the public holiday itself, he had duty and thus had to stay behind to serve the nation.
i've always liked vegetarian food, so whenever the opportunity arises, i will follow them to the temple to feast on it. but this year, it was a lil disappointing. there was no soup, which happens to be my favourite. nevertheless, the wide spread was good enough, really.

yes, and all the question marks must be forming in the heads. why would a Christian girl go to the temple for vegetarian food? issit allowed??? well, perhaps it ain't a question of whether it was allowed to or not, but rather, what we believe in our hearts. you see, faith is trusting something you do not see (romans 10:17) and yet still believing in it.
i honestly do not know what are the buddhists' belief in taking vegetarian food on vesak day, but i do know that vegetarian had been God's original, intended diet for us humans until adam and eve screwed up and sinned against God. that aside, though those food may have been prayed over before serving to the table, if i only have my own God and Saviour in my heart and nothing of the idols, then i am free from all those prayers prior to the serving. which means, its still food, served just like anywhere else. and that temple which we had gone to, they serve the food outside, away from the main hall where devout buddhists offer incense and chants, so as far as i was concerned, it was safe for me.
so i left and gone to town to look for the prezzie which took me almost all day before i finally found it on my way home. and afterward, my sister and i decided to treat my mom to dinner @ Soup Restaurant. none of the guys were there, not even dad. so it was like our lil own all-girls' nite out! hee=p
it was just a simple dinner because unlike other families, my family always ate together, so to us, everyday is Mother and Father's Day.

number of feasts that day: 2

3) following that, somewhere in mid-week, i had taken half day leave to drive into Johor with my parents as you would have read earlier on. well but that aside, i really miss the times we would all just drive in one lazy afternoon and spend the day just eating and eating there. =)

agenda in Johor: EAT!

4) swimming. suddenly conscious of a lil bulge, i became extremely athletic and decided i had to do something about it. and my favourite exercise: swimming. so i dragged the boyfriend during his nights' out and got him to swim with me in the night. it was so cold, but because i was so determined, i had to carry on. and so we did, first night was 10 laps. and the second was 14. big jump, but we'd slowly work our way until we reach 20-25 laps.

no. of laps so far: 14
no. of laps to be achieved: 20-25

5) Youth Service @ church last saturday, there was a warm feeling going back there though all the people are now different. but there was no doubt we felt strange. to begin with, we were like the oldest people around and it didn't feel like main service. maybe when people grow and mature, they gradually become suitable for certain things more than others, and i guess that was how it went. well but, we'll see.

6) straight after the service we got back home to prepare dinner. i had earlier told the boyfriend's mom i felt like making dinner and asked her in the cutest most manja tone if i was allowed to do so and she returned my sweet smile by saying yes. we stopped by for grocery shopping before heading back. my dear was a great kitchen assistant, like how all the palace maids were on Da Chang Jin. *lolx
so with his help, i made Sesame Chicken (and added the tonic wine, DOM to it), Silver Coin Toufu and fried the leftover prawns and minced meat together with the xiao bai cai and my favourite golden mushrooms. aunty was so kind and kept asking how i made those. because while i was done with dinner, i was still busy preparing a lil snack for supper - Fishcake or Fish Patty, however you like to call it. i had a sudden urge for it so i decided i was going to make it for all of them to eat. it was no easy job though, mincing the fish meat and mashing the
potatoes. but when you eat it, hmmmmm the orgasmic feel, aaahhhhh undescribable. its a personal favourite you see. hee =p

7) and lastly, i just fixed the new com last night. well, what can i say? i wanna wash my hands off totally when i sell the old one and get myself a lappie.

and guess what? finally my new glasses are done and i'm waiting to go collect them this weekend! decided to go for a change since my current one is plastic. this new one is metal. heh heh, and guess what? its pink!!! not bright pink but a much mellower shade. nice. i'll show it off once i get it! =p

::forgot to post this one pic that we got someone to take for us @ Equinox::

| 18.05.2006 |

fine, for the record, i drove into malaysia yesterday. their roads were uneven and bumpy, and road signs messy and confusing. i had a hard time differentiating which road led to where.

it was better driving on australia roads. the roadsigns were much clearer and traffic weren't so heavy. only thing was, their roads were mostly very hilly with steep slopes.

yah, what nonsense am i blabbering about?

local roads? yup, the best so far? maybe its because i haven't driven to many places yet.

my point is, i got my class 3 after a long while, and i'm glad i finally got it because i worked hard for it. why should i allow myself to be affected by what some LC pple say about lady drivers?

you're a man, moreover your job requires you to own at least a class 3 license and yet you dun even have. when it comes to retrenchment, i'm certain you're on their number one list, why because you do not even have the basic pre-requisite required of this job. you're pathetic.

laugh about pple? think before you do that. you dun realise how precarious your situation is. if or when the CEO hears about it, either you have to get your license on the first go, or you're fired.

either way, you're at the losing end. laugh at pple somemore, you'll be the first to die.

you see how mean some pple are???

they poke fun, laugh and sarcastically talk about lady drivers and exaggerate the kind of massive jam that lady drivers cause. i reckon its because they don't feel good about themselves therefore they try so hard to put pple, who are alot better than them down.

well what can i say?

| We Have a Baby... |

oh yes its true!!! its our child, except that its not our flesh and blood. its a teddy bear, haha!
that was the second of my 5th anniversary prezzie from my loving dear.

the teddy bear, originally named Princess (because we didn't have much time to think of a better name so yeah. duh i know but......) we've changed her name to Phoebe, because dear says he likes the name. and that will be the name of our first child, if it so happens to be a girl. *hee

we got her from Esplanade, this shop called Cool Bears Workshop, i think. she had to go through a "hug-test", where i had to decide if she was stuffed up enough, or if i wanted her to be harder.
then they measured her weight and height, and i even gave her a spa treatment to make her more fluffy by hair-drying her. *hee and then we got her clothes, they're real pretty! i had so much fun, especially picking her outfit and dressing her up! oh oh and i even got her a pair of pink shoes to match her pink outfit, she's sucha doll!

::see how adorable?::

:ma princess gal::

and while in the midst of all these, dear was busy writing a love note to me where he'll stuff it into the teddy bear, and wait for me to pull it out. and then, at the end of it, we prepared a birth certificate for her, with her ID number and birthdate and all. i was sucha happy girl that night!
but my poor dear had to pay so much for our lil child. it came close to a hundred bucks! BUT it was well worth it because i've promised to love her like my own. *blush

so she's happily sitting on my bed now even as we speak. that cute thing. even my pup was so jealous of her and kept wanting to bite her head off. haha!

wait, let me tell you where we went for dinner prior that night. dun faint huh?

dinner was @ Equinox Restaurant, seated on the 70th floor right at the top of the Swissotel. though i had an idea it was gonna be there, i didn't quite believe it until we were there.

i had been there before when i was a lil gal. alright, maybe not that little, say about 10 years old? my dad brought us all up there for a sumptuous buffet lunch one sunday afternoon, and i remembered how clearly we could see the whole of singapore then. now a decade has passed and the hotel has somewhat undergone a revamp and also a change of management, but still the magnificent view remains.

awesome.

the daytime was nice. when dusk came, the view was even better. the dim lighting created by the candlelights gave a romantic ambience. moreover to be accompanied by all the colorful skycrapers, dining side by side with them, dear and i had sucha wonderful time there.

first up, their bread. fresh from the oven, it was still warm when they served it.

in all honesty, i didn't think the food was anything wow. it was so-so.

so as dinner had been the first order of the day, we headed to Esplanade and got our very first child. afterward, we walked through Citylink and went in to Gelare and had a lil supper. dear had brownie with cookies' n cream on top of it, ooooohhhhh the orgasmic feel was
amazing. and i had caeser salad. it was nice too. i had a sudden craving for smoked salmon, so i requested for additional topping. i'm sucha pig! which reminds me, i need to work out my spare tyres, i've put on weight!!!

okok, back to Equinox. before we left the place, we were told their toilets were a must-visit, and so we went.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
::tried to take an overview but guess this will have to do; i loved the toilets by the way::

then as we headed back home, we kept talking about our prezzies. we had agreed earlier in the morning that we'd hide each other's prezzie in the respective rooms while the other person waits outside. then we'll write 3 clues and leave it around the room for the person to find. kinda like a treasure hunt. so as we were talking about it in the train, we kept giggling and laughing because the clues that dear gave me was so hard! i couldn't solve it at all!!! but he always gives in to me, because he loves me so much, so in the end i managed to guess the very first clue with his obvious hints. ha!

the hunt began with me finding my prezzie first in my room. after a long while, i finally found my prezzie which he so painstakingly made for me.

its a minature of our story in the beginning. its the beginning of Tezhong & Wylyn. so sweet! i couldn't stop smiling because i loved it very much, just like how i love the lil bear and my dear as well. any idea how tedious it is to do a minature thingy like that? do you know the amount of effort thrown into this prezzie? its priceless.

everything that day was so perfect! i was and still am the happiest and most blessed gal in this whole world!!!

i love you dear! thank you for making our 5th year so memorable. thank you for always making me feel so special. and thank you for loving me so much!

p.s pls let this be the last time we fine-dine, until you ORD and get yourself a real job, ok? =)

11 May 2006

this is bad...this is terrible! i need to rant about how free i am at work today because it seems like my boss ain't gonna be giving me any work, just like yesterday! *hysterical screams

i dun believe it because i didn't wake up so early just to come to work and do nothing but stone at the computer for the next 8 hours and pretend to look busy! because i'm not! its so tiring trying to keep up this pretence of "looking busy".

*pui

how???

and i can't surf the net because i believe they are watching my every move. yah i'm paranoid and hysterical. but that's how LC this company is. serious.

i'm so freaking bored!!! will someone gimme something to do so that the next 8 hours will be easier to pass???

great, and my boss just walked out. and will probably take forever to come back. at least when he's around, i know there might be a possibility that he will gimme some work to do. but if he's gone, it just means there wouldn't be anything!!!! dun even think about it. nothing!!!

i'm so unhappy!!! do you call this a healthy balance of work and free time?! NOT!!!!!!!!! i'm so unhappy, i really am.

can you see all the exclaimation marks and bolded words and the emphasis i'm trying to make here? i'm so extremely bored. period.

this is without a doubt, the most blown outta proportion matter i've ever seen in an office setting, with regards to work.

if its as simple as the system capturing the wrong data, then inform the IT department so they can rectify the situation. i dun see how by asking the person in question, she can help you. if she was really in the wrong, and is frantically trying to cover up her mistake, she would definitely not tell you the one deciciding factor that will help you solve the problem.

*major eyeroll

so duh. the executive.

and, God knows how many times he/she had already stabbed me in front of my boss. but this is definitely not my mistake in any way, i'm just reporting an error. whoever is able enough will solve the problem, if not, when this happens again next month, i am so going to just send out the report full of wrong data captured to the auditors, and you see what you'll get.

muahahahahahaha!!! my evil plan.

but of course i wouldn't do sucha thing. i believe the truth will prevail, and if you're wrong, you're wrong. just admit it. loser!
