Gigs and Geeks.

Last Friday, went to this bar at Bugis called The Gashaus to support Alex's gig. The crowd was really wild that night, especially during Gethsemane's performance. Here are a few photos that a journalist from Nightlife.Com took.


That's Alex and his band, "Gethesemane".


Photos of me and my CG members. We also took photos with other supporters. :)


This is my friend, Julia, whom I used to serve together in Bookstore Ministry. Happen to see her here. :)


A video I shot during Alex's perfomance.

We didn't manage to stay throughout the whole performance. The whole thing was suppose to last till 11pm but since some of us had yet to have dinner, we left after Gethsemane's performance.

We came to this eatery that sells Taiwan's food, just across Bugis Junction. It used to sell smelly beancurd but apparently, it has to stop doing so because people were complaining.


Doesn't this bowl of "Kong Ba" rice goes well with Yixuan? Haha.

Helped out with the Extreme Makeover on Saturday. Basically helping the residents living in one two-rooms flats around Redhill to clean and paint their house.

I have 17 students plus one teacher (who happened to be my friend, Jing Ying!) attached to me.

We were assigned 4 units on the 8th and 9th floor of Blk XX. However on that day, 3 units cancelled their appointments because of family problems. Then later, a resident from the 15th floor also wanted her flat painted. The request was approved so I was assigned that unit too.

Apparently, I need to keep going around to source for equipments and running between level 8 and level 15 to oversee the two units. Since the old lifts don't serve the levels in between, I have to keep running up and down the stairs and slightly twisted my right archilles tendon.

It was very tiring yet it was fun. It is always a pleasure to serve the community.

Later on, we rushed to church and my friend, Kelly gave us a lift. Haha.

Went for the Marriage Enrichment course last weekend. I have to say it is one of the best bible study I ever attended. Pastor taught about the purpose of marriage and taught many other issue regarding relationships and the roles of husbands and wives.

Thank goodness Pastor decided to open this bible study to the whole church. I believe people should learn about such things way before even they want to get married. After all, if it is only open to the married couples, those whose marriage is already on the rocks probably will not attend. Then the only ones who attend are most likely having healthy marriage. Know what I mean? Haha.

Anyway, I was down with flu last week, kept tearing, having running nose and headache and missed the prayer meeting on Tuesday. Man...

It was worse when I try to look into the monitor. My eyes will keep tearing. Even experience that before? Haha. Anyway, I am fine now and I have to catch up with all the tutorials that my class have submitted to me and I am suppose to collaborate and submit to the lecturers.

Stress? Yup. But enjoying it. Haha.

Week of Fellowship

Being more then a week since I blogged but this weeks goes like this.

On Wednesday, I went down to TTSH to visit Sjeting's Granny. Since I was very early, I went to shop around and read newspaper at Ya Kun at United Square. I also bought a new watch at $124.50, with was already after 50% discount! Haha. Praise God for Great Singapore Sale.

Currently, I own 9 watches. The cheapest is only $10 while the most expensive is a Tag Heuer which cost $1000+ (obviously a gift from my mum, haha)

Met up with Sjeting when she arrived. Her granny had chest infection and was bed-bounded for near 2 weeks. However, the good news is that one of Sjeting's cousin had already led her in the Sinner's Prayer. Praise the Lord! I prayed for her just before I left. Remember to pray for her!

Since I was alone after that, I called Jacelyn, one of my ministry member who happen to work in Novena Square, and meet up with her.

We went to try out this chicken rice stall at Seah Street, Sin Swee Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant, as we are organizing a ministry fellowship that on Sunday. It is not bad, the rice is fragrant, the chicken is smooth.

The most commendable dish has to be the Fried Tofu with Thai Salad Sauce. The fried tofu skin absorded the sweet, sour and spicy favour of the sauce. This dish is crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside! Awesome!

Later, Jace brought me to this dessert store down Bras Basah Road called Ah Qiu Dessert. She ordered Almond Paste (this dish is a No No for me. Haha!) and I ordered Peanut Paste.

It is indeed one of the better peanut paste I have ever eaten, smooth and rich though Jace said the one at Chinatown would be better. I have yet to tried that though. :)

I also brought Jace to Musuem of Shanghai Toys after that. I can't remember how many times I went there but all my friends really enjoyed themselves there. We spent nearly one and a half hours there! Haha.

Jace was quite caught up with some of the puzzle games. She seems to like such games... though she isn't exactly that good at it. Haha.

Here, she was trying to solve the Seven-Piece Puzzle. A puzzle that have seven pieces and a frame with many ways to arrange it.



Reached home nearly at 12 that night.


On Thursday, I rushed off after school to watch Pirates of the Caribbean with my CG. My friends Lina and Wang Ling also joined us. Read "YO HO! YO HO! A PiRatE's LiFe foR mE!" on W372's blog for more of it.


Friday. Went to attend briefing at CHEC for the Extreme Makeover, a community project to help refurbish the flats of elderly who live alone. The event will be held on the morning of 22th July. Do join us if you are interested!

Went to have dinner/supper with some of the Copers at Burger King, Raffles City. Another good time of fellowship.


Went for COPE saturation on Saturday. Tiring but fun as usual. Finally get to lunch with the Copers again. Haha. I used to have bible study just before service and have to rush off after ministry. Now that bible study would be after service, it means I will get to fellowship more often with my ministry members. Haha.

Rev. Che An preached today and he was sharing his life with us. It was amazing how he came to receive Jesus in the midst of all his drug addiction and immorality and become the man he is today. He is indeed a living testimony of the goodness of God.

Rev. Che An also prayed for the sick and many healing takes place. People with knee, stomach and other problems were healed. The atmosphere of faith was so strong that day that some of the healing took place even before people start praying for them! Praise the Lord! I have noted that many people seems to have back problems in my church. Haha. May the Lord heal them.

Went to have chicken rice at this place which Alex have recommended. It is somewhere near Peace Centre but I can't remember where. One of the sauce they provide was grinded ginger and it goes really well with the chicken! After that, we went to this soya bean shop two units away which sells the smoothest soya bean curd I ever eaten!


Sunday, sleep as much as possible. Was going to meet a few Copers for dinner at City Hall, 6pm. Went to visit my grandparents before that. I was glad they seemed pretty well.

Wanted to get something at Bugis before going to City Hall. Jace called me as she had just finished watching Pirates of the Caribbeans with her Colleauges at Plaza Singapura. We meet up at Bugis and walked to City Hall to meet the rest of the Copers.

We went to Sin Swee Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant (That is the 3rd time I ate chicken rice this week! Haha.) and ordered quite a lot of dishes. There was only 6 of us, Jace, Vincent, James, Yee Kiat, Yehui and me but it was a good fellowship. Do not despise small beginnings. Haha. I am sure we can get more people to join u next time.

We also went to shop at Bugis street as Vincent wanted to look for some clothes for his workplace. Later on, we went down to Ah Qiu's Dessert Shop. I ordered the Coffee Flavoured Fresh Milk with Steam Egg, Vincent ordered Mango with Sago and Ice-cream, Jace ordered Grass Jelly with Longan, James ordered Bubur Hitam with Ice-cream, Ye Hui ordered Mango with Sago and Yee Kiat ordered Yam with Sago.

My dessert wasn't bad. However, I think the Mango with Sago was the best! I got to tried one spoonful from Yehui's and it was fabulous! Gotta order that for myself the next time I go there.


Really enjoyed myself this week. Haha. I hope I can get to know the Copers more.

God is Good. :)

Time for Leisure?

Things that I have yet to do.

1. I bought some snow jelly from the frog farm 2 weeks ago. Still yet to make desserts out of it. Reason? Too busy.

2. Jacelyn came back from Kuantan last week and gave me some salted fish. Still yet to cook 咸鱼炒饭 (Salted fish fried rice) with it. Reason? No time. Thanks Jace for the salted fish thou. :)

3. Complete the copying of Ecclesiastes into a notebook. Reason? Lazy. Haha. Ok, I was tired too.

And I was on 2 days MC last week because of stomach flu. I have to make up for my hospital attachment last Saturday and this coming Saturday. Missed two weeks of COPE ministry. That is so annoying.

Lesson learnt? Don't ever fall sick again. (Or try to fall sick less often.)

Finally started off with my weight training exercises. Hopefully the muscles on my arms and shoulders will start to be visible by the end of this month. Haha. No matter how little time I have, I guess it is still good to keep myself healthy.

So school has started and still so little time. ICA projects are getting more demanding. The higher you climb, the more is expected of you.

Lesson learnt about living in this society?
You are either a winner or a loser. You are either someone useful or you are trash. A little contribution is still much. Do the best in everything in hand. Know your limits and work within your means.

What is this post about?
It is to commemorate the end of my second year and the start of my third year in Nursing Course. Haha.
