Memorable Memories

Below are some of the jolly good times I had with some of my friends from church. Many of them are my little girlies whom I 'look after' in my youth ministry. I love them lots! Not a single time when I was with them did I feel bored or sian..in fact being with them brings out the childlikeness in me and I am so grateful for everyone of them who loves me and also like spending their time with me! :) Looking from some of the pics, I realised most of my hang out times involved food! Friends who eat together stay together!!!!!

Lim Xi and Alysson enjoying their treat at Secrets Receipe. There was the Chocoloate Banana (SR's hot cake!) and Macademia Cheesecake.

I had the Carrot Cake! And look at Alysson - her expression says it all. Lim Xi on the other hand, was able to contain her satisfaction pretty well haha...but they both ravished their cakes! But me.....

I so could not finish my portion! The cake was huge can! And the creamy cheesy layer on top didn't whet my appetite much also! Think it will be the first and last time I eat the carrot cake from Secret Recipe. The gals and I have yet to complete our mission i.e. to try out every of the cakes available at Secret Recipes! So far we have done 6 ...not sure how many to go but after their 'O's, we sure to whack the cakes again!!! Here we come.....


This was JYC's 3rd anniversary (I think). Look at how young I was then. Believe I look younger now! Haha..Beside me are Joanne Chua and Alysson! They looked so kiddish then but they have since grown up and looking every bit a beautiful princess! Joanne is now serving as a leader at JYC and I am so proud of her. Alysson needs no introduction...:)

Miaofeng, Ying Nuo and Sam. Sam is also now a leader with JYC. These gals are a wonderful testimony of how God uses this ministry to not just touch & transform lives but in turn using them to be a catalyst for change in other people's lives as well. Looking at this picture really encourages me much!



The above 3 pictures show my running buddies. Uncle Kevin, Ben Soh and Sharon. I ran my first marathon with them and our friendship became solid as a rock through all our gruelling trainings. Ben is now doing his missionary course in Perth but whenever he returns for a visit, we never fail to meet up. We may not have ran marathons together again, but we will continue to run on in the race of life together, cheering one another on.


JYC's first Over-n-Out event where we had a feast of hotdog buns with homemade bolognaise sauce, freshly made nuggest and fries. Plus we had entertainment from the Transformers and then a night of Record Breaking games! The finale to the night before we hit the sack was a sweet sweet time of Ice-Cream party! Absolutely sinful but so delicious it was impossible to resist!

The JYC leaders. My very strong team. We look so happy together right? We are. Every one of them is a gift and working alongside with them to see lives change is a privilege and I would never want to trade that for anything else. We having missing people in the pic - Lionel who was at work at the point where we took the picture and dearest At. Licheng who is away in China. Who can forget about her? She's our fantastic role model and we all miss her much!

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
