2010 began for me with a sermon on loving people around you.
Pastor asked us to hold hands with your loved ones, friends or simply the person beside you.
And of cause, hugs and words of appreciation were exchanged and spirits were high. It was undoubtedly uncommon for us to say "I Love You's" to your friend, sister, church mate, classmate, best friend...
But in our everyday lives, God, moves through you and me...
| you were born together

Uni results out,
School's life out.
For now. ..
While my classmates are stressed about finding a job,
I'm only beginning to learn about life.
"Culinary class", "Domestic chores class", "Caregiver class" and most recently, "Home Improvement class"
I am glad actually,
God taught me a whole new syllabus about life.
Though I may not be serving in any big ministry in church yet, nor working in the workplace,
but I came to realise that it does not mean that I'm not serving Him.
God still uses me to help the people around me.
And so far, His task may not be easy, but it was definitely fruitful.
People's lives changed.
Not by my hands, but He lead mine.
Big or small tasks, glamorous or not,
Its not about me,
Its about Him.
Ahhh...
Finally.
After a month of drowning myself in some marketing-dun-know-if-it-works theories...
I finished my one and a half term in SIM.
IF I successfully pass my exams, I'll graduate le!
To my dear friends who have been faithfully reading my blog, but I have not been faithfully posting, pls accept my sincere apologies.
anyways, yesh!!!! Wo Zi You Le
"What's my next plan?"
... hmmm.
*In Mandarin*
Zhai Shuo Ba. Hai Bu Zhi Dao. Ye Mei You 'Lobang' ...
Meanwhile, I'll just be taking a slow walk down the road, perhaps taking a look back down memory lane, and who knows.. maybe i'll get some fresh ideas.. for a fresh new start...
Til den my friends,
Live well.
You sacrificed, and paid the price.
To redeem me, to save me.
To set me free, give joy to me.
O how I must treasure my life in abundance.
Not worry over insufficient.
I have sorrows,
You bring joy to me.
I have doubts,
You give security to me.
I have fears.
You teach courage to me.
Without You,
I am nothing.
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
I remember the times, I used to wake up earlier on weekdays, at 63oam, travel 1 hr to orchard just to have breakfast with my mom before she goes to work.
Then I'll just walk around the rather empty orchard rd watching the town get ready for the day's operation, while I just enjoy myself absorbing the morning glow and watching the people start their day.
Though the breakfast time was a mere 30mins, it was a precious half an hour to catch up life with my mom.
She, sitting like a "tai tai", sipping her hot milk tea, small mouthfully munching her kaya toast, and while doing all that, nagging at my late night hangouts, dark eye circles, and my in-feminine mannerism...
Me, sitting like a typical "garang" youth, with my bag always big and bulky, sipping my hot milo, huge mouthfully eating my bee hoon and while doing that, nodding and "hmmm" at my mom's nagging.
I enjoyed it though.
that's the precious mom and daughter time that I truely treasure.
But after I graduated,
and started work, and started uni, started erm "dating"
such breakfast times seems rare...
(*Disclaimer* im not blaming anyone here..)
until,
recently, my younger sis, Xiao hui , haha (i rarely mention her name here.)
asked if i wanted to join my mom and her for breakfast on a wed early morning.
Well, i didnt had anything on at that time (usually im still in bed),
but, this nostlagic feeling came, and i remembered the times i had breakfast with my mom at orchard...
so 2 weds ago,
I "forced" my body to depart from my comfy bed and get ready for breakfast.
My mom was surprised at my "Awaken presence"
haha,
but, anyway, breakfast at the nearby coffeeshop was great.
though also, a mere 30mins,
it was indeed a lovingly time with loved ones.
though it was just over milo and tea, and toast and chee chiong fun or paos,
the presence of loved ones was all its matters...
we laughed and joked and teased each other over silly matters...
I walked them to the bus stop (another first time in my life, i never walked my sis to the bus stop before...)
waved goodbye,
and headed back home...
its was 800am,
I was back sitting at my desk, lesson only starts at 12pm,
but my face smiling, thanking God, for waking me up for a loving call.
Last wed, i had breakfast with them again..
=)
Thank God, for my mom and sisters, and also a family in Mkk...
live well folks,
Charsiewpao
