The weekend in Hong Kong was supposed to be rest but it was really more tiring than the five days of work before it. Too much to buy and too little time! The pace of life is a lot faster there than in Singapore too (they even <i>walk</i> faster) so I actually felt quite relieved to arrive at home. Haha! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday in Hong Kong. Lovely food and the shopping was seriously crazy. We spent two entire days in two shopping malls and could still buy more in them if not for the time constraint. Three days were just right though, because we were really <i>really</i> out of cash by the end of the trip. I had to charge my last minute wallet and bag buys to credit, which meant very lousy conversion rates!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div>Goodnights all! :) Hope you guys had an equally great week!</div>Shu.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10546081860390082573noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526970310941350211.post-86360807984475358182011-05-27T00:16:00.000+08:002011-05-27T00:16:55.988+08:00(Over)Work.I've been missing from this space but all for a good reason!<div><br />
</div><div>Since I tendered my resignation, I've been handed a good two months worth of work to be cleared in the next three weeks, so that things won't go haywire if they can't find someone suitable to replace me before I join my new company. There are moments when I've been very tempted to complain (whether in my heart or out loud), but God is good and always reminds me of how kind He's been with providing a new opportunity. I'm leaving my current workplace at one of the busiest times for retail businesses too (Great Singapore Sale starts tomorrow!), so it's definitely hard on my boss to miss a staff from the already understaffed office. So, no complains. I shall complete all my work with joy and thankfulness. :)</div><div><br />
</div><div>Thank you all who left such encouraging comments at my last post. I read every one of them (as I slogged in the office) and I'm very thankful indeed. :) I'd gladly reply each one now but I'll have to be up by 3:30am (that's 3 hours from now!) to catch my flight to HONG KONG! </div><div><br />
</div><div>Finally, a break! :D Short but still, I need all the rest I can get. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I've been there some 5 years ago, so I'm pretty excited to see how things have changed. I'll do a post on the best shopping places and eateries when I'm back! :) Any readers from Hong Kong? Please feel free to suggest your favorite haunts! :D</div><div><br />
</div><div>Okays, now time for bed! Yay!</div>Shu.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10546081860390082573noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526970310941350211.post-16377381030209889892011-05-20T00:54:00.002+08:002011-05-27T00:17:41.016+08:00Roller-coaster.It's been an exciting two days, because:<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>1. I got rejected from a job application.</div><div>2. I got an offer from another job application.</div><div>3. My boss counter-offered something even better.</div><div><br />
</div><div>All in two days! </div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm very thankful for all that has come my way. God first humbled me with the initial rejection, and then encouraged me with the subsequent offers, so that through it all I may remember that all good things come from Him and Him alone. It wasn't by my own ability that I got anywhere at all. All wisdom and knowledge comes from God Almighty. He knows what I need and lovingly provides for me.</div><div><br />
</div><div>All that you have comes from God too. Have you thanked Him for the people who love you, for the job that sustains you and for every little joy in life?</div><div><br />

When I was younger, I thought this verse means that I shall not want the Lord as my Shepherd haha. Very poor language skills I know! But no, it means that the Lord is my Shepherd and because He is taking care of me, I will not be in want, because He will make sure I have all that I need. :)<br />

Here's a song that <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/shoe-shopping.html">Ling</a> and I recorded for our <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/05/worthy-of-song.html">parents' day project</a> thats inspired by this lovely verse:</div><div><br />

<div>Are there any of you also facing a dilemma or a difficult situation? Are you going through rough times in life? God can give you peace too, just like how He has given me. He is just a prayer away. :)<br />

Even though it is tempting to stay, seeing how much my boss wants me to stay, and how I've grown to be so comfortable with my current job, I have made up my mind to move on with a heart to learn and grow. Though the new job would be full of challenges and uncertainties, I know wherever I go, God is never far away. He will lead me as I go along. :)<br />
<br />
Here's to new beginnings!<br />

<br />
One of the most satisfying meals was Domino's! :) Oh wonderful lovely creamy cheese paired with succulent chunks of juicy chicken, button mushrooms and onions. My stomach feels empty everytime I think about it. T.T (If you missed my post on our first visit, <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/05/bittersweet-song-recordings-prelude.html">here</a> it is!)<br />

The small pizzaria smelled <i>so</i> good, it was quite hard to sit still while waiting for the food. :S We distracted ourselves by taking a truckload of photos:<br />

We scarfed everything down in 20 minutes (I know, must've looked ugly) and everything was <i>awesome</i>. The whole eating experience was punctuated with gushing raves in between bites.<br />
<br />
<i>- chomp chomp -</i> "oh man this is just <i>- chomp -</i> too good!" <i>- chomp chomp swallow - </i><br />
<br />
If I had ten thumbs, all of 'em would be up.<br />
<br />
Now I'm hungry. ROARS!<br />

The last time was... I don't even remember!<br />
<br />
Ever since I stepped out of university and into the work life, it was goodbye to the precious fun-from-breakfast-to-dinner dates and hello to just-dinner dates. Now that <i>he </i>is out of university and into the noble (but undeniably sad) life of a teacher (who has to climb out of bed at 5:30am from Mondays to Fridays), it is <i>"noooooooooo it can't be!"</i> to dinner-while-trying-to-stay-awake dates.<br />
<br />
Yay for work life.<br />
<br />
But seriously, besides this little shortcoming of a full-time career, I am enjoying work much, much more than schooling. I'd gladly write a report than study 24/7 for an exam any day. (All those who scared me with the horror stories of employment while I was approaching graduation, thank you <i>very much </i>for the unnecessary nightmares.)<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to our happy date! :) I took a day of leave on this precious day that he doesn't have to work.<br />
<br />
He smiled through the hot, <i>hot</i> day. He smiled even when our breakfast became lunch. (Yes I overslept sobs.) He kept smiling even while I shopped all around the mall. (He takes an average of 2 minutes to buy whatever he needs at any store.) He offered his opinion on the dress that I liked. (Never happened before, first time ever!) <i>And</i> he waited patiently at Starbucks with all our stuff while I had to run some last-minute errands.<br />
<br />
Besides all the smiling, I recall lots of laughs too. :)<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><i>*Matthew is my sister's son aka my nephew.</i></span><br />
<div><br />
Hello Big Sister!<br />
<br />
I feel compelled to write you a letter because Matthew just called me and said that he couldn't sleep the whole night because of his upcoming exams. I prayed with him over the phone.<br />
<br />
I love your family and I love you and so I feel I must speak out against the direction which you are all headed. <br />
<br />
I know I am not qualified to give any parenting tips for obvious reasons. But as a sister in Christ, I want to tell you that God is. He loves you and your family more than anyone else and wants to free you from all your burdens.<br />
<br />
<i>"31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:31-33)</i><br />
<br />
You love Matthew and worry for his future. Does God not love him more than you? Will He abandon your child because he is not achieving school expectations? Will He not provide for his needs because he does not do well enough in school? God knows what he needs and He will provide them. The burden is not yours alone.<br />
<br />
<i>"28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)</i><br />
<br />
God is in control of all things - how well your son learns, how well he expresses, how well he does in school. Your friends who do not know God do not know this, and so they run around anxiously, looking for answers at the wrong places - tuition centres, assessment books, motivational seminars etc. You don't have to follow their lead. Commit everything that is out of your control to God and rest in Him. Then you can have peace and sit back and watch Him work in your family. I assure you that no tuition centre can bring such peace. They only add to your burden and anxiety.<br />
<br />
God is the best person to go for parenting tips. Have you asked Him how He wants you to bring up your children? Just as He loves your children, He loves you. Will He not provide you the strength and wisdom to lead the family if you ask Him? He will gladly use you to do great things in the lives of your husband and children. <br />
<br />
Lastly,<i> "Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?" (Matthew 6:25b)</i> Are Matthew's results the most important thing that determines his life? Is your children's success the most important ting that determines yours?<br />
<br />
This is a prophecy yet to be fulfilled in the Bible -<br />
<br />
<i>" 1 See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth </i><br />
<i>and devastate it; </i><br />
<i>he will ruin its face </i><br />
<i>and scatter its inhabitants— </i><br />
<i>2 it will be the same </i><br />
<i>for priest as for people, </i><br />
<i>for the master as for his servant, </i><br />
<i>for the mistress as for her servant, </i><br />
<i>for seller as for buyer, </i><br />
<i>for borrower as for lender, </i><br />
<i>for debtor as for creditor. </i><br />
<i>3 The earth will be completely laid waste </i><br />
<i>and totally plundered. </i><br />
<i>The LORD has spoken this word." (Isaiah 24:1-3)</i><br />
<br />
Smart or not, successful or not, we must all face and be accountable to God at the end of time. Is your family's faith not more important than worldly success? Ask God what He wants for your life and your family's. He will answer you with love. <br />
<br />
I have been praying unceasingly for your family. Join me in prayer! God is good and He listens.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />
Your Little Sis.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
To all other mummies out there:<br />
<br />
I don't mean to offend anyone with my letter. I do not want to trivialize the stress of being a Singaporean mother, whose children has to compete hard in the flawed education system. I acknowledge the difficulties and pains of motherhood. I long for the joy of it as well. It is a noble and beautiful task. And for that, I pray that this letter would bring you to God, for He is love and the only source of peace. May He bless you and your family abundantly.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Shu.<br />

My new shoes from Aldo <i>are</i> too high. My swollen right heel is proof. *glum*<br />
<br />
For those who missed my post on my problem with heels, <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/pretty-in-flats.html">here</a> it is.<br />

I must admit I'm very lousy at getting comfy shoes. Why do they always make your feet feel good in the stores?!<br />
<br />
Anyone who thinks yourself as a shoe shopping guru, please enlighten me. :(<br />

<br />
Anyways, its been a very busy, yet very enjoyable weekend. First off, I must say -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-IrF6pUZU17oSnryxAhxVC-N5rLIxYWqlJygLluYTyvqaF8Md5wsucNeBvG0wo81L4NoE_YwE3XMl5r3bHT7dsFyxlrj7GEX-wVzxbDc2vZKaWcPmmaX4ar_WjZmlrym1rQBuXwVSlqa5/s1600/DSCF7429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-IrF6pUZU17oSnryxAhxVC-N5rLIxYWqlJygLluYTyvqaF8Md5wsucNeBvG0wo81L4NoE_YwE3XMl5r3bHT7dsFyxlrj7GEX-wVzxbDc2vZKaWcPmmaX4ar_WjZmlrym1rQBuXwVSlqa5/s400/DSCF7429.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Happy Mum's Day to all mummies! You have the noblest job in the world. You deserve to celebrate.<br />
<br />
(That brownie cake was totally yummy by the way. One of the rare cakes that both looks and tastes good!)<br />
<br />
Besides the Mother's Day celebrations, Singaporeans have also sat through a nail-biting experience on Saturday night through dusk - the results of our General Elections 2011. Some celebrate the outcome and others cry. But through it all, I believe we have all grown as a country in political literacy. We have come to understand how our government truly <i>governs</i> life of all citizens, and how our one vote weighs a ton.<br />
<br />
As we all participated in the political debate, both offline and online, I was inspired by many and very upset by some. It wasn't those who supported the <i>other</i> party who traumatized me, but rather, those who 1) made loud and totally skewed arguments based on ignorance and lack of knowledge (for example, in my humble opinion: <a href="http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/">Xiaxue</a>), 2) casted their votes flippantly (aka was too lazy to read up on news and thus flipped a coin to decide the future of Singapore. Don't laugh at this ridiculous proposition, because <i>I DO HAVE A FRIEND WHO DID JUST THIS</i>.)<br />
<br />
Your vote impacts the lives of everyone in the nation. Please (<i>please!</i>) do your homework on all parties before making your decision. You have the next 5 years to do that, so do it well!<br />
<br />
I shall end off with a tribute to T<i>he</i> man who loves Singapore, Mr. Chaim See Tong of SPP.<br />

Speaking of work, I've had a really bad day. Here are the list of things that went wrong:<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Woke up with an elephant-sized zit on my left cheek</li>
<li>Faced an elephant-sized pile of work </li>
<li>Forgot an important deadline (!)</li>
<li>Got assigned to collect a poster from our printer and drop it off at one of our stores after work, which pretty much meant <i><b>overtime</b></i></li>
<li>Left office and walked the arduous journey out to the main road, all ready to hop on a cab, when I got a call from our printer that <i>she did not receive the file to print</i>!</li>
<li>Walked all the way back to the office, turned on the pc, saved the file in my hard drive</li>
<li>Called and begged printer lady to wait for me as its already near their closing time</li>
<li>Waited an eternity for a cab</li>
<li>Traffic jam! Waited an eternity in the cab.</li>
<li>Got to the printer's, waited another 30 minutes for the print</li>
<li>Hailed and got rejected by 3 different cab drivers because they have their own itineraries in mind</li>
<li>Got to church band practice 1.5 hours late!</li>
</ol><div>Yet, amidst bad circumstances, there are always things to give thanks for:</div><div><ol><li><a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/search/label/Boyfriend">Boyfriend</a> offered kind words and a lot of comfort. </li>
<li>Printer lady very kindly waited for me and served me with patience even beyond opening hours</li>
<li>Got onto a cab with a wonderful cab driver who agreed to wait for me while I run off to drop the poster, with the possibility of not ever returning (but I returned of course! One good turn deserves another.)</li>
<li>Was greeted with a lot of love and concern once I got to church for the practice - a big thank you to all my lovely bandmates!</li>
<li>Enjoyed an hour of worshipping as we practiced.</li>
<li>Ended the day with a wonderful dinner cum supper with <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/search/label/Boyfriend">boyfriend</a> and <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/shoe-shopping.html">Ling</a>.</li>
</ol><div>All thanksgivings to God Almighty, who is in control at all times. </div></div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyone else had a bad day? Big hug for you! Smileeeee!! :):):)<br />

<br />

<br />
"No man is an island!" was my primary school teacher's response to my journal entry about feeling left out among my friends.<br />
<br />
It remained just a fancy phrase to me until I read that this was how God intended things to be, right at the beginning.<br />
<br />
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." - Genesis, 2:18<br />
<br />
Then, God went on to create animals and more people. :)<br />
<br />
Deep inside we all yearn for attention, for recognition, and for love. That's how we are created to be.<br />
<br />
(Of course, God's love is sufficient to fill all emptiness in us, as we are ultimately created to worship. There's a long explanation of how these work out in God's plan but that'll take up a whole other post!)<br />
<br />
In my life, I've always been dependent (in varying degrees) on different people, at different times of my life.<br />
<br />
When I was young, it was my mother. I remember how terribly sad I felt when the time came for me to walk myself to school, without her holding my hand. I would set out into the dark, barely-breaking dawn with my unreasonably heavy school bag and feel so bad for myself.<br />
<br />
A little later, my attention turned to friends. Suddenly, I didn't feel like staying at home all the time anymore. I want to be out with my peers, my confidants who could relate to my every problem. <br />
<br />
That lasted till the first taste of betrayal came. Back to <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/search/label/Family">family</a> I go! These are the people who would love me to end. <br />
<br />
That still remains :), only now there's a <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/search/label/Boyfriend">new person</a> involved.<br />
<br />
He's sort of family, yet not really there yet. He relates with the understanding of a friend and the love of a family. How wonderful the feeling, to have found someone who would hold my hand again, as I brave the darkness of everyday life in this world of weaknesses and temptations.<br />
<br />
I bet Adam felt just as great the moment he woke up to see Eve by his side. :)<br />
<br />
Who is this special person for you? What have you done to show that he's (or she's) special to you?<br />
<br />
It was God who placed him (or her) right there beside you. Have you given thanks for such a lovely gift?<br />
<br />

P.S. In case you're in the mood for some music, here's a lovely song that makes me cry on such days. A perfect song for weddings.<br />

<br />
I felt another bout of <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/05/bittersweet-song-recordings-prelude.html">PMS-y</a> emotions on the bus ride home. Before he got off the bus, I asked despite the ban, "Would you miss me?"<br />
<br />
<i>- Time paused -</i><br />
<br />
<i>- I prayed for an answer that wouldn't make me feel worse -</i><br />
<br />
"I always do."<br />

<br />
Anyhow, as promised, I shall take some of my lunch time (I know its late sobs. Citi isn't the only company that never sleeps.) to post one of the songs that Ling and I recorded for our parents for Mother's Day. We thought it wouldn't be nice to just sing for mum so we're including our father in this too! :) You can read up a little more on the project <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/good-friday.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We were too concerned about working first during the recording that we didn't care much about photos. Still, I managed to take these:<br />
<br />

We did 8 songs in 5 hours! I wished we had more time to re-record all the flat notes (sobs) and adjust the volumes of various tracks but John (who offered his recording system for free!) was already kind enough to sit 5 hours with us for nothing.<br />
<br />
I'll put up all the songs up on youtube in due time, but for starters, here's the first one:<br />

That can only mean one thing - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premenstrual_syndrome">PMS</a>!<br />
<br />
I get the <u>worst</u> mood swings when it hits. Ask my boyfriend, he suffered enough to know. Every little thing has the potential to make me sad or/and angry or/and frustrated. He complains about it every 2 days but guys just don't get it that women are victims of the emotional changes as well. :( You try going :( :) :( :) :D :S :( :( :( in just 1 day! It's not fun, I can tell you that much.<br />
<br />
This current bout of hormonal change is making me very sensitive about the amount of quality time I have with the above-mentioned guy of my life. Since our last dinner together on <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/sunny-day.html">Thursday</a>, I've been seeing him in church <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/typically-busy-saturday.html">last evening</a>, group dinner cum supper with many other church mates on <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/typically-busy-saturday.html">last night</a> (first time at <a href="http://www.dominos.com.sg/">Domino's Pizza</a> - it ain't that big in Singapore! - and it was <i>awesome</i>), and group steamboat dinner with (again) many other church mates tonight. In all three occasions, we hung out with different groups and barely had time to actually talk much to each other! :(<br />
<br />
On any other day, I would be perfectly fine with it, as I do love hanging out with the church community. But we're talking about PMS here. I was very much craving for some affection!<br />
<br />
He left the steamboat dinner while I was in the middle of a game of Bridge, because some of them went for paintball this afternoon and were already half dead by 10pm. My insides sort of shriveled when he announced that he was going home. The conversation with myself went like this:<br />
<br />
"I suppose he isn't very bothered by the fact that we haven't spent much time together."<br />
<br />
"He must be tired. That's a valid reason!"<br />
<br />
"He doesn't care about spending time with me."<br />
<br />
"No no he's tired!!"<br />
<br />
Back and forth I argued with myself, until he sent a message over while I was on my way home, which said, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">"Feels like a long time since I talked to my girlfriend properly! Would you be freeee for breakfast tomorrow? :D"</span><br />
<br />
That pretty much ended the argument between me and myself. :)<br />
<br />
Thank God that he feels the same way. Thank God that he messaged! :)<br />

<br />
I didn't join them in paintball today because <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/shoe-shopping.html">Ling</a> and I spent 5 hours at John's place for the <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/good-friday.html">song recordings</a>! It was great fun. Thank God for good voices today, John's generosity to do this for free and a smooth time of recording!<br />
<br />
I'll put up the songs up here soon, so stay tuned! :)<br />

<br />
Most churches have these gatherings on separate days but since a long time ago, my church started lumping it all in one day. No complains, because its really a joy to be among my church mates every Saturday, singing praises to God together and sharing weekly updates.<br />
<br />
I finished my lesson planning earlier than usual today (thank God!) so I had time to have lunch with my parents before heading for church! :)<br />
<br />
Took some pics in the car as its another cheery <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/sunny-day.html">sunny day</a>! :)<br />

It was great to have the whole backseat and my parents to myself for a while. :D I remember I used to be very jealous of my little sister when she first came into the family, because there goes my princess status haha. Not anymore now! She's my best friend! :)<br />
<br />
Did you have a good Saturday? :)<br />

<br />
A mid-tier <a href="http://www.zoeraymond.com/">blogger</a> whom I often read blogs so much about the sunny sides of her life that her readers started to hate themselves for not having what she has.<br />
<br />
It definitely wasn't the blogger's intention for her readers feel this way. Yet, however unintentional, she has caused serious self esteem problems to those who follow her closely.<br />
<br />
I wish we can just feel happy when we see others with good things. I wish their happiness can make us realize how much we too have in our lives.<br />
<br />
I pray that whatever I write in this space would only have positive influences on you.<br />

<br />
The sun was brightly shining while I did my quiet time (which it the time that Christians spend alone time with God by reading the bible and praying), while I took the long train ride to work, while I took a cab from the train station to my office and while I walked a short distance from the taxi to the office building! :)<br />
<br />
Couldn't resist taking some pics under the cheery sunlight.<br />

Someone once said she loves the sun because when it shines on her, it feels like God is giving her a big warm hug.<br />
<br />
I love the sun because it reminds me of God's goodness - "He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." (Mattew 5:45) It is especially comforting to remember this when I have done something bad and is feeling very guilty over it. Repent and God will be forgive. :)<br />
<br />
What about you? What does the sun remind you of?<br />

Tired eyes, happy smile...<br />
<br />
Yup, I went shopping last night! Hee.<br />
<br />
Dropped boyfriend a message before I left that office yesterday to let him know that I would be meeting my sister for shoe-shopping and his reply was:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"What why are you buying shoes again!"</blockquote><br />
Heeey, I may have a few pairs sitting untouched in the shoe cabinet but everyone makes shopping mistakes right? :( I always leave shoe shops thinking "yup, I would wear that, its not <i>that</i> high." But it turns out that it <i>is</i> pretty high. And that's not good for me because of <a href="http://shushings.blogspot.com/2011/04/pretty-in-flats.html">this</a>.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, that reply got me on guard - no shopping mistakes this time please! I already don't earn enough!<br />
<br />
Okays I take that back, God always gives enough. :)<br />
<br />
So, I prayed and prayed for wisdom to buy the right shoes and I got these!<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Especially happy with the Aldo buy, because 1) it looks nice on my feet, 2) its not that high (sounds dangerously familiar but it really isn't!) and 3) that salesperson was really a joy to shop with. Good service is so hard to come by these days. The Nine West and Steve Madden people sulked in an instant once I said no the pairs I tried on. Not nice at all.

And there's this thing about my feet that keeps daily heel-wearing an impossibility - they've got unsually high archs! Putting too much pressure on the balls of my feet gives me swollen heels that take days to heal.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I almost managed to get a permanent medical certificate while I was schooling in Junior College, which would get me off all physical activities.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyways, with this arch problem, I try to stay off heels as much as I can, even on formal occasions like weddings and stuff! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Especially love the pair from Miu Miu! Big on nudes lately, just like the rest of the world.<br />
<br />
Now, I just need time and good company for some serious shopping!<br />

So many people have already made holiday plans and I'm itching to book myself a trip too.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Its funny, I never liked travelling when I was in my previous job, which required me to fly once a month. Now that I'm out of it, I seem to love going away! It isn't a case of discontentment though... flying for work and flying for leisure are entirely different experiences. When you fly for work, you work 24/7. When you fly for leisure, you play and rest 24/7! </div><div><br />
</div><div>Going to HK with sister in June and I CAN'T WAIT. *bounces on seat with excitement* Travelling with family rocks 'cos there's really nothing much to get used to. We've had the worst fights and best heart-to-heart talks. Thank God that I have a friend in my sister. :) Its a blessing that I really cherish.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Back to travelling plans, there are plans for a trip to Aussie for all the '86-ers from church. 5 of us, a nice number for car rentals. :D Can't wait for that too! I've been to Aussie when I was in primary school but I remember almost none of it now. I've got the memory of a goldfish. :(</div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyways, boyfriend and I were talking about travelling over dinner yesterday and he kept harping on wanting to travel alone in June and I don't know why but <i>I started crying</i>. I suppose I felt worried but even I was amazed when the tears just flowed without warning. Sometimes I cry so easily!!! Must be pms. </div><div><br />
</div><div>So I just sat there and teared for about 20 seconds while chowing on my bah chor mee. It was a ?! moment mixed with a good amount of embarrassment. Who cries in public while eating bah chor mee?! </div><div><br />
</div><div>*smacks self*</div><div><br />
</div><div>Oh and happy easter! :)<br />
Here's my favourite song on Jesus' glorious and joyous resurrection:<br />

It's indeed worthy of celebration. :)<br />

its a gift for everyone and anyone. Have you claimed yours yet? <br />
<br />

<br />
Our gift for parents' day this year is a fun project: a CD with 8 of our favourite worship songs, music by the talented people from church and vocals by us! :)<br />
<br />
We spent an hour today recording the music tracks with music prodigy Huey. Minus the time to set up the recording system and settle down, she took only 20 mins to finish 5 beautiful piano tracks! In her own words, "God created me so He's the real prodigy."<br />
<br />
Indeed He is. :)<br />
<br />
We'll record the 3 guitar tracks tomorrow after service and the vocals *gulp* next sunday at John's with his power song system (which he usually charges $40 per hour for!). <br />
<br />
Thanksgiving to God for planting the idea in our heads, for providing the people and equipment to make it work and also for the gift of music. :)<br />
<br />
Shall upload the songs on youtube when we're done kays! Must pray for good voices on recording day. :)<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a Good Friday well spent.<br />
<br />
Thank God for everything!<br />
<br />
Time for bed!<br />
