We were the reason

Whenever I'm sad, lost or in need of comfort, I know I can always turn to God. The past 2 months were so stressful. I felt lost, confused, tired and empty.

No one could fill that void. God did. He rejuvenated, refreshed and embraced me. I am alive, full of energy and ready to face life with God as my protector, friend and Father.

This song resonates in my heart. Every single word. I am blessed because of Him.

As little children, we would dream of Christmas Morn
And all the gifts and toys, we knew we'd find
But we never realise, a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gifts of our lives

We were the reason that he gave his life
We were the reason that he suffered and died
To a world that was lost, he gave all he could give
To show us a reason to live

As the years go by, we learn more about gifts
And the giving of ourselves, and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day, a man hung dying in the rain
Because of love, because of love

We were the reason that he gave his life
We were the reason that he suffered and died
To a world that was lost, he gave all he could give
To show us a reason to live

I've finally found a reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him
For Him

Inspired

I have a purpose driven life and I'm excited about it! Yay!!

In the next few years, I would like to earn as much as I can. Study, start a family of my own, build that career with God in the centre of my life and hopefully in 10 years, start a foot reflexology centre.

I want to hire the blind, to provide them an income. I want to run it on a non profit basis; learn from their life experiences. They see the world in a different light. I believe my life will be made meaningful because God gave me a special gift - to love the wounded.

I am highly favoured, greatly blessed and deeply loved, and I want to pass that on to the blind.

I will Love God fervently and Love his people passionately.

Thank You for Being You










Dearest Margie, Xilin and Julia,

Thank you for taking time for the dance practice, milo peng and late nights for rehearsals despite your heavy workload.

I never cease to be amazed at how happy I feel to be able to dance again with the Eunique girls.

I'm not all good with words..

but Thank You for Being You.. :)

Dearest Kelly, Joanne, Theresa, Alvin, Daniel and De Siang,

Thank you for coming down from work to support me. It might not be your cup of tea but you came. I am ever so grateful for that.

I count my blessings each day to be able to have you bunch in my life. On days when I'm so stressed with work, you're here. Without you girls, I think I might not have such fond memories at work.

Thank You for Being You.

Dearest Sunny and Jia Hui,

Thank you for coming all the way down from the hotel. I am so glad I finally got to introduce my colleagues to you. Sunny, they've finally gotten to meet you!

Thank You for Being You.

To Louie and Flo,

You boys rock my world. (literally rock with your noisy rock and roll..eee) You know you've got the best people in your life when your face automatically breaks into a smile just by seeing them.

Last but not least,

To my dearest sisters, Jo and Jas,

I love you girls.

Thank You for Being You.

Men Versus Women

Flo, Cillia, Jan

Thank you. I feel much better. :)

Just to share something that made me laugh uncontrollably.
I met a client today and after as usual, I took a taxi back to the office.


Scene re-enactment
Driving driving



[cabbie] what is that fella doing. move left, right or what. what is that fella doing

*cabbie overtakes the driver and is prepared to swear

*cabbie notices that it is a woman driving

*woman was pretty, and incredibly cute as she was biting on her lip, brow furrowed in intense concentration


[cabbie] aiyah woman driver, you know la..



*cabbie smiles at me



[grace] haha uncle don't bluff, it's a pretty lady that's why right



[cabbie] no la, Uncle gentleman!



[grace] uncle, you should have seen how your expression morphed. it was classic



*graces laughs uncontrollably



[cabbie] smart girl ah.. hehe



*cabbie smiles sheepishly

The persuasive powers of a woman, or rather, just being a woman.

P.S. she was not even aware that a heated sign language exchange could have happened.

Sometimes you're forced to face all that vulnerability.
I thought I concealed all that hurt rather well.
Then it all comes unexpectedly..wham..

sigh

I need a big hug, and maybe a bar of choc..

make that 2 bars.

Specially for Kelly


Dear girl,


I'm really blessed to have gotten to know you. Despite being in a competitve environment, I'm able to share my ups and downs with you. We've shopped till we've dropped, eaten till we swear to go on diets and even slogged at yoga together.


I love this picture of us. It makes me feel all bubbly and warm. The sunset of beautiful and so is our friendship.


Thank you for being you.

The King of Pop

Michael Jackson passed away.

I was in the gym at 6 am this morning and was devastated by the news. I grew up watching him dance. He was an inspiration to me. Though I was not a diehard fan, I've always admired him. He was a performer. He commanded attention. He was unique. He was talented.

As a dancer, an icon like Michael Jackson was an inspiration. Each time I perform, I know the pain I go through for that 4 minutes of fame. Imagine what Michael had to endure. The heartless paparazzi, the constant need to be at the top of the game.

I'm truly sorry for the loss. There can only be one Michael Jackson.

Wonderful Wednesday

I started the day tired, drained from a sleepless night. Had a terrible cold and tried to resist taking puriton because it makes me so drowsy the next day. I lost the battle at 3 am and took it anyways.

Came into office early and got a very nice call from a credit manager. He was so positive and said that he would like to engage my service because it was good.

Yay!

Energized and rejuvenated!

God is good! He truly is. Despite all the hurtful words said by a friend, or a colleague, I became stronger and happier because I closer to him than ever.

On an even brighter note, Cillia is coming to Church with me on Sunday! I can't wait! I'm going super early to queue!

AND! I received 5 text messages from my guy friends last night asking for free liasing. How can!!!!

-cheeky grin-

Dim sum and Friendships

EeeeEEe! Monster! The monster is at Marina Mandarin's Peach Blossoms restaurant. She was blessed to be able to meet her ex colleagues from Citibank. Monster tried taking pictures with Louie's pro camera and it turned out blurry...
She DID not turn on the stabiliser and focus of Louie's super pro canon 50D

Kelvin rectified the problem..Mark's favourite dish.. He said the roasted meat were fabulously tender.Shan's and my favourite dish. Fried toufu with oats. Heavenly...
Shan looks so pretty here!
What I really liked about the desserts is that they come in tiny tequila glasses.. The mango sago and gui ling gao got our thumbs up!

Arranged a mini surprise for Mark. Happy birthday dude!
Picture of the day. Shan.. the girl who became like a sister to me.

And the most unglamorous shots, courtesy of Kelvin. Monster digging into her favourite steamed salted egg yoke cutard pao..

Just look at that greedy smile! eeyeeerr..


I had a great time catching up with Kel, Mark, Shi xiong and Shan. It made me realise how much I miss teamwork. I love my new job. It's exciting meeting credit managers, CFOs and big bosses but I've got to be very independent. I miss my toilet and snacking sessions with Shan and the crazy long lunches with the kampung gang..
I'm blessed to have these people in my life.



I miss you girl!

Sunset Grill and Pub's spicy wings challenge!

A horrified expression from Flo? In front of harmless looking chicken wings?

-evil laughter form grace- MUAHAHHHAHAH!

Hahaha.. while waiting for our food. Flo was so angry, he wanted to eat his arms.

Things to order. The thick gooey cheese fries! Crisp and drenched with cheese.
The patty from the mini burgers were tender, moist and juicy. Out of 10 levels, we had level 3 and I cried from it. So spicy!!

I love you dear friend! Come back from Germany soon please. I'm waiting for my German chocolates!Level 5 anyone?

Dear friends and family. The food at Sunset Grill is really fantastic. I heard that if you finish up the level 10 wings, you don't pay for the wings! If you're looking for a place away from the busyness, a place that you can laugh and eat with your friends, a place that challenges your tastebuds, go to sunset grill!

and...

look like...
