Free Fall Into The Unknown

What do you say to taking chances?

What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid grown below

Or a hand to hold or hell to pay

What do you say? What do you say?

Today...

I was inspired

Motivated

Spiritually recharged

And now I'm going to wait for Your second coming

PINK

Isn't this the coolest thing ever? A PINK hair straightener!!!

It's so pink and pretty (:

On another note, 2009 has been really really good. Therefore, all the more, I can't wait for 2010 because it'll be even better (:

Long Walks

Long walks are good. It helps me to clear my mind, help me to think and I get personal time. I think if not for the humid weather, I would walk to a lot of places in Singapore.

And so today I embarked on my journey from the Botanic Garden and I actually planned to walk all the way home, because walking to the bus stop alone didn't really feel very satisfying. But I had to cut my journey short, one stop before the mgs bus stop, because it was starting to rain. The walk was quite fun though.

But this is what I noticed. Well it was nothing much, because I was half stoned and half amazed that I'm actually walking in this heat. Ok so anyway....

Even though I always knew the houses along Bukit Timah were big, I didn't realize how HUGE they were until I walked pass them today. I even saw a grasshopper up close. Haha. I don't know why but that really fascinates me. And that poor fella; I realised it lost one of its legs. Maybe that's why it couldn't hop away when people went so near it. It was like crawling as fast as it could for its life.. Oh well

It's a start of a new week. So it's going to be a fresh new page in this chapter that is coming to an end.. But nevertheless, a fresh page for a new beginning.

Because I need to do this, even if it's only for me.

The Candy Cane Story

I bet you didn't know this...

A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be witness for his Saviour, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. The white symbolizes the Virgin Birth (Is. 7:14; Luke 1:26-35) and the sinless nature of Jesus (1 John 3:5). The hardness of the candy symbolizes the Solid Rock (1 Cor. 10:4), the foundation of the Church (Matt 16:18), and the firmness of the promises of God (Ps. 18:30-32). The candy maker made the candy into the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Saviour (1 John 3:16-17), and a symbol to represent the staff of the Good Shepherd (John 10:14). The candy maker decided to stain it with red stripes, representing the stripes Jesus received prior to His crucifixion (Mark 15:15-20) for our healing (Is. 53:5). The large red stripe represents the shedding of His blood on the cross for our salvation (Rom. 5:9; Eph. 1:7).

Cake

I'm really craving cake. It doesn't have to be so fancy, a simple one will do. Anyone want to buy for me?

Maybe I should indulge in a baking therapy session tomorrow and get my mind off things.. And one day, I'll be able to make cakes that look like these. Omg they are so so pretty and they look super yummy.

*sticking out my tongue to the world*

I hate being part of the '3rd culture'. I really do.

But hey, I guess it's all part of the job. Just have to suck it in and endure. I only have __ years more to live.. How hard can that be? Right?

At least I'm not the only one going through it.

TOC

It's very funny when I look at the current TEENS batch and hear about their like 'ambition' and stuff, that I get reminded of myself. From the time that I helped my dad with worship min, to the time I did worship min, to the time I passed it over to Delicia and to now.. I remember threatening people to be on time (haha). I remember being so happy when people started helping out in setting up, especially the guys, because it meant that Jessica and I didn't have to carry the keyboard.

And really, no offence to anyone else, but TOC was, and still is, the coolest batch ever. Our class bonding activities, our camp planning, the mission trips we went for... Haha. It's just funny to remember all these little moments; the little moments that brought me to where I am now.

We have only one more year to be official TOCs (maybe we should consider a name change..) Anyhow, a few more days and I'll be back! YAY!

Changes

Some changes are good, others are bad. But one thing for sure, changes is inevitable.

I've changed. I know I have. It's really funny (a bit freaky) to reflect upon my own life and see how much I've changed in certain aspects. It's also really interesting to see which habits/behaviours still remain the same. I'm analyzing myself. Haha.

Ok but further elaboration is not necessary.

(This post is random and purely out of boredom)

Mind Boggling

Certain things people do really baffle me. Like I know I won't do such stuff, or at least not out of free will. But I guess, we are not meant to be the same and people do have reasons for their actions....

BIG REMINDER TO MYSELF:

Monica don't judge others. Monica don't judge others!!!

And you know right, there's this part of me that really wants to understand why people do certain things, in other words, I want to ask them why. But it'll be strange if I do so. Maybe that's why I enjoy Psychology so much (even though, I haven't really learned these in Psych). Hmmm.
