Went shopping with my CG members, Sjeting and Jasmine at Bishan, Junction 8.
Went to the famous Roti Prata Store at Thomsom Road to eat. When we reached there, I realised I forgot to bring cash with me. I was like, "ARGH!!!" The nearest DBS ATM is one bus-stop away at Thomsom Plaza. I didn't bother to wait for the bus (1 stop only), so I get there as fast as I can, withdrew the money and got back, sweating. Sjeting and Jasmine were like, "Did you ran there?" Nope, I didn't. Briony and Cinthia will know very well that I am a sweat machine (but I don't smell bad). Hahaha. Both of them agreed it's the best prata they have eaten. (Special thanks to Cinthia who brought me there in the 1st place. Also, I still remember that I wanna bring you there Briony!!!)
Later, Jasmine went off to joined her friends at City Hall, I continued to shop with Sjeting and went to Lot 1 to get the Levis jeans that she saw yesterday.
Seiyu is having SALE right now. Levis Jeans are going as low as $35! Hahaha. Sjeting wanted to get the one selling at $35. The cutting is pretty good (cheap but Levis after all, hahaha) and Sjeting tried it out and it looked good on her. It fits her legs well, brings out the shape and the lenght is just nice! Since she like it so much I decided to bless her. Hahaha. Oh wells, my motto for living, "Others above self."
Shopping with Sjeting is also quite enjoyable, she pointed to me many clothings that she felt looks young yet fits me. I decided the clothes from Man Studio and Samuel & Kevin probably looks good on me, but I don't really like to spend too much on myself so I didn't get any new clothes.
However, there is this Kappa bag in Seiyu that looked pretty cool and it kinda suit my shoes. Even Sjeting thinks it look good on me. I went to tried it on, felt it look good too and decided to buy it. THERE, I finally bless myself (I also bought a bermudas last week but that one was really cheap compare to this bag). Hahaha. But that probably the last piece of item I will get for myself for this month.

Thank You Pastor Kong.
With effect from 1 Nov 2005, Rev. Kong Hee will be named the Honorary Founder/Senior Pastor of City Harvest Church. What does it mean to be "honorary"? It means that pastor is still a board member but he will no longer be paid by the church.
Why does he do that?
Pastor felt that as the leader of the church, he need to lead by example in one of the greatest building fund we ever had, he relieved the church of having to pay him his salary for the next few years until the completion of our new church building so that every cent can go towards its funding.
When pastor anounced this to the church during the weekend, I took a deep breathe and almost cried (but i didn't because I fought back my tears). Although I don't know pastor personally, he had being the motivation behind this church that had changed and blessed me so much. I can see the sacrifices he made over the years, his teaching had taught me to experience God for myself.
The moment when he revealed the news, I was so happy, so sad, a mixtured of feelings, the thought that go through my mind, "Pastor you are so great!" "It shouldn't be you, it should be us..." So contradictory, yet, truly, I am touched by what he does.
Thank God for City Harvest Chuch. Thank God for Pastor Kong. God is good.

Exams are over!
Finally, the stressful week is over, and I just realised that my headache is not due to the stress, it's due to the eruption of wisdom tooth at the upper left jaw. I can't open my mouth too big or it will hurts. Sometimes, the pain will radiate to the left temper and feels like a headache. But there is a possiblity that it could have being worsen by the stress.
Finally I treat my CG as I had promised, treat them to KFC. Later I went shopping with Sjeting and Jasmine at Choa Chu Kang Lot 1. It's only a pretty small heartland shopping mall but every shops are having SALE!!! With me around, anyone can really enjoy shopping (Briony said so) and we shopped from 330pm to 630pm!
I was really happy cuz I found some nice clothes for my friends and family members (YES, I am blessing others again.), I also decided to buy a couple of clothes that Sjeting and Jasmine like for them. The 2 of them are happy of cuz. Hahaha. Tomorrow we are going out again, going to Bishan this time and after shopping, I will be bringing them to the Roti Prata Store at Thomsom Road where Cinthia had brought me to. Hahaha.
Cinthia and Briony are always saying that I always think of my friends. Well, Pastor Robb Thomsom mentioned that making friends is never cheap. If you don't sow in people now, you will not reap relationships in the future. No man is an island, so i guess that's what motivates me to be generous.
Jesus said "... when I am hungry, you fed me... when I am naked, you clothed me... for whenever you did these to one of the least, you did it on to me..." (This verse reminds me of Cinthia.... Just kidding. Hahaha. :P) Of cuz, I believe it does not just apply to the needy, in general, this verse is telling us to be GENEROUS. Hahaha. God is Good.
Ok. For you who knows I have being having headache for the past few days, I am still having it now, thanks to the eruption of the wisdom tooth. This is the 3rd time my wisdom tooth erupts, the last 2 times is on the upper and lower right jaw. The whole thing will take about 2 months so headache may just be frequent. But since now I am not stressed out, I should be able to handle it pretty well. Thanks to Cinthia for showing concern regarding this throbbing headache.

Driven by Stress
Have I ever told you before? I am a stress-driven person. I strive on stress to be productive. Hahaha.
Really stress out this exams. I was not feeling well the day before the exam and I couldn't even concentrate on my revision. Then on the exam day today, it turned out to be one of the hardest paper I ever taken in Poly!!! Argh!!! Hopefully I wouldn't do too badly.
I was so irritable since yesterday, almost anyone or anything can just piss me off. Which is why I choose to be alone but I ultimately shared my stress with a friend I can trust, Cinthia (cuz she happen to study in the same school so we could meet up), and I got to say I am sorry to her for putting up with my irritablilty and outburst (even thou she said I look "OK" when I burst out).
Always got to put on a smiley mask you see. Even thou you can be angry or stress or easily irritable at that period of time, you can't just go around screaming and scolding everyone on your way. People will just think you are crazy, and probably will never come near you again for the rest of your life.
Thank God for close friends whom allow you to put away that mask. Had shared both my happiness and woes with Briony and Cinthia, and of course with God. Indeed like Cinthia said, hiding your emotion too often is going to hurt yourself. So I don't intend to. Hahaha.
Anyway, as stress as I was, I can still put on a smile to most of my other friends. And I do strive on stress! Today is the 4th time I played the guitar for CG meeting, in fact, I was still pretty stress out but I just happen to be most satisfied with my guitar today! Hahaha.
Compared to the past few times, today's guitar was so much better, no sudden speed up or changing my pentrum on the last minute. My CGL actually allowed the praise and worship to be much longer today, allowing me to enjoy the presence of God as I played the guitar. I closed my eyes and forget about my exams, sing and strum and start rocking my body with the rhythm. The atmosphere was so good, the presence of God is soaking my every being, I prophesied by singing 2 times today. God is good. Hahaha.

Comments about Xiaxue's blog...
Since Briony had did something to the names for our Blog Link, I decided to do the same. Hahaha. (Briony and Cinthia! Scroll down and see what I had done!)
I have just read Xiaxue's blog about the use of toilets for the disabled and was pretty put off by the way she put down the disabled.
As a nurse, our sole duty is to assist patients to get back to normal life as much as possible and educate them to adjust to their new situation and help themselves. However, we have to be aware that disabled patient's no longer can live their life as a normal person do. Frustration is natural if you think about the extra work they have to put in just to get out of bed and move around on a wheel chair.
And now, someone insensitive and selfish like Xiaxue have to ridicule them by saying that their disability is just like "a broken leg", disablitly not = "small bladder"? Even the fact she's angry or annoyed, the use of such terms are so demeaning, it directly insults the disabled.
In case you're are not aware, many disabled people, especially those who had an amputation done on their legs, had their legs amputated mostly due to complications of Diabetics. Diabetic patients DO have problem holding their bladder!
Should we as a people allow such behaviour to go unchecked?

Exams. 1 Down 2 to Go.
Ok. Not really blogging this much. Finally cannot fight the urge to blog. Hahaha. But today is a relief, one paper down. It's the bioscience paper and it wasn't as challenging as I expected. Thank God whatever I revised came out.
Anyway, being going out to get things that I need and also to destress. Hahaha. Monday went to get some nursing book at Novena, manage to get a pretty neat Medical Surgical Hand Book, it's small and handy.
On Tuesday, went to study in the school library, sat down and studied from 11am to 5pm!!! WOW!!! Never done that in my whole life. Hahaha. Went to Toa Payoh gym with Cinthia (for our weekly regime), used the stair-climbing machine until my legs muscles all bulge, very painful. But a good cooling down and stretching prevented any leg cramps cramps today.
But I think the best thing was to buy presents for Briony, Cinthia and my Mum. It was a happily given happily recieved situation. Hahaha. Both ladies are happy. Then my mum... All I can say it is a very timely gift.
When I was shopping for the present, my mum called me and she was almost shouting over the phone. Yup, I quickly guessed it's that time of the month again. When I surprised her with the gift (it's a tee from Giordano), she significantly slimmered down and was actually quite happy. Hahaha. So I was telling Cinthia and Briony that it was a "timely" present.
Ok... really so tired now... Gotta go. Share with you a verse that came to mind when my mum recieved the present.
Proverbs 21:14
A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.
