Why cook when you can create? :P

I was bored so I decided to make corn fritters. They were quite yummy I have to say and it's really simple as well. I think for every free day I have in Melbourne, I'm going to try a new dish. I want to attempt cereal prawns next, just that I can't seem to find curry leaves here in Melbourne..

And it kinda annoys me that the picture is not really in focus, except for that ONE tiny piece of corn -.- But oh well, I shall practice photography more then.

Happy Birthday Gerald!!

Lim, Lee, Loo

Remember when we tried to be exclusive and said that only people whose surname started with L was cool?

Haha can't believe I found this photo - evidence that we did the weirdest stuff together (: But anyway, I digress. Since I won't be able to be in Singapore to help scheme another one of your birthdays or attempt to blind fold you or get the hair dresser to style your hair in the whackiest way possible, you shall be given a blog post.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BESTIE!! You're finally 19 and WE ARE NOT OLD!

Can't believe we've been talking for 7 years. Hopefully 70 years down the road we will still be talking and laughing (over the same kind of crap) and staying as far from the mental institution as possible.

:D

Christmas isn't Christmas

This Christmas is different; not particularly good or bad, just different.

So while a million and one thoughts run through my mind, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE (:

Doesn't my cake look pretty? It's supposed to be a two layered red velvet cake with orange cream cheese frosting with berries, but the top layer kinda blocked off the second layer (which probably doesn't have enough icing). But anyhow.. PRETTY RIGHT? Haha. Hope it tastes nice.

Simple Pleasures(:

Those were the days - whereby a simple thing like face painting made you feel like a princess.

6am

The thought of waking up at 6am is kinda blegh.. Reminds me of secondary school days. It's kinda amazing how I managed to get ready in such a short time actually.

But hmm maybe I'm just lazy.. haha. Totally dreading waking up early, but I guess I got to befriend coffee once again.

Bubbles! :D

Today I bought bubbles; went to the backyard, standing under the stars and blew bubbles(: it was the happiest I've felt in a long while(:

I think I'm going to buy more since it's so cheap now. Haha. Someone play with me!!

you give me nightmares

Bad memories of my past is back to haunt me

It's bad because I'm paralysed with fear

I'm now caught in a dilemma

Long holidays are never going to be the same again:(

It kinda just hit me that

I'm 19

I'm going to graduate next year (2011)

and, I don't even know where else to begin...

But more importantly, it kinda hit me hard on how I'm not a kid anymore :( Grr, I'm like quite stressed out now that I can't even pen down my thoughts. SIGH.

Life is good because God is good(:

I suddenly remembered the first day of the year, while waiting for the sunrise we sat by the beach and just listened to the waves. I remember that as the waves crashed upon the shores that I felt God saying to me that He would ALWAYS be faithful to me, even when I doubted or even when I couldn't feel His presence. The song Your Name by Paul Baloche kept playing in my head as I, at that moment, came up with a new year resolution to do whatever it takes to be a good cell leader. I remember starting the year excited and yet somewhat nervous/scared.

It's now the 2nd of November. Time has seriously flown by and God has really been so faithful to me. I don't think I would have survived this year if not for Him. Even today (or technically, yesterday), when I was so nervous about coffee ministry, He showed me how He has everything under control and things worked out so well(: Cell leading was just pure awesome and definitely super rewarding. It's not yet the end of the year and many more things can happen in these 2 months - but I could not have asked for a better 2010.

That's why life is good - because God is good(:

*Big big smile and do happy dance*

Forgiveness

Today's sermon about forgiveness was an interesting one. It really made me rethink certain stuff and I think the 6 points that the pastor ended with is really worth sharing.

1. To remain resentful and harmful is my choice
2. To forgive is my need
3. We must always forgive but we cannot always forget
4. We must always forgive but we may nto always restore relationships
5. The wound (pain) will heal but the scars remain
6. To forgive is to let go - to release the offender from the bondage of hatred and retribution
