Time Flies!!

Pretty bz week and madness yesterday afternoon..slightly late for choir and realised even more late comers later on...Choir has grown or at least there are a lot of sops now that soon the chairs for sop section is going to extend out of the room..hee! Anyways, just realised this week is coming to an end soon and it's really just a twinkling of an eye. And also realised i'm going 25 this year! Time really flies man!

Told Leedon (his msn nick) about my wedding next year and he is going to attend my wedding;)..haha..he said he is starting to save for my BIG ANG BAO. Wonder when is his wedding coming...his classic reply is always " No money le, how to get married? get married very ex nowadays le." I pity his galfriend..and the FACT that he is earning more than me!..just that he is doing the most boring job on Earth - programming. He was blasting me with all the info on house loans and CPF stuffs for housing and blah blah...complicated stuffs and i just assume my darling gh knows all those. I was supposed to cut and paste what he said in that portion and show it to gh just in case he doesn't. Forgot abt that...it's ok, i trust God! Gh and i are making our first visit to HDB Hub on sat to starting hunting for flats! so exciting!! And finally collecting my beloved ring too! :D

okies! Too excited to continue. ..More updates later! :)

Season For Love and Proposals!

So bz this few days!!!! Stealing some time to do some update. Went to watch this Korean show, Season for Love, with my then bf now finance ->amen to this but it's supposed to be fiance, keke...gh laughed at me :(. The poster looks like it resembles Love Actually but to our dismay, the endings for all couples are sad. I just came out and said "What a typical Korean show....". How "nice" to watched such movie a day before proposal. Gh just complained how sick the director is to create such endings - He prob felt it was such a wrong choice of movie to watch that nite. hee! Darling gh prosposed to me last Sat!!!!! So happy!! So many proposals within 1.5weeks...first is zy & faye, then is A&K, followed by me&gh and J&W. so happy for them too! :)

Short recap of the proposal:
- a week b4, started receiving hand-made cards from gh, one a day
- Wed is music and sound ministry gathering for me, knowing i wasn't at hm, gh went to seek my dad's blessing
- mum knw it later when she is back from work, i'm back from gathering, mum slipped intentionally, saying gh came. my mum calls gh "my friend". in front of him is "john ah"
- i sorta knew but din wanna probe. next morning, mum can't take it anymore. asked me " i think "your friend" talked abt marriage le, u wanna get married now ah?" my ans "eh..dun know la" (just to brush her off)
- fri nite gh arranged flowers to be delivered to my place together with famous amos cookies which i din even touch but was emptied when i came back the next day. hahaha
- sat morning dad decided he can't take it too so told me his conversation with gh and tell me to think it over so that when he proposed i would have made my decision
- went botanical garden for valentine's day lunch at Halia. Nice food! I had peranakan style pasta with laksa sauce and clams
- gh wanted to go rainforest (intended to proposed there), i was scared off by a giant lizard at the entrance. He dropped the idea
- toured ard the place and finally i was too tired to walk. gh found a spot to rest. Took ot the last card, he asked me to look out for something in all the cards.
- after some time, finally realised first word of every card eventually formed " MARRY ME"
- giggles and ring was out!
- proposed and i agreed (i think i was being easy on that) ;p
- put on the oversized ring (He knows my ring size but tink too many skinny fingered ladies was being proposed so no stock for my size, have to go back do resizing - i miss my ring now!!!)
- went for concert after that, enjoyed it! :))
- took pix of my ring so that i can look at it whenever i misses it while it goes thru the resizing - i miss my ring!!


The difference now is we have to start planning for this and that now. I'm going to enjoy the process!! btw, i told some of you that it's gonna be Jul next year as we wanted the date 070707, but the super duper kiasu couples in church has booked them even earlier than us, so we decided to bring it fwd to hold it at our 2nd anniversary in May which happens to be a Sat! :)) so happy so happy!!

The Battle Belongs To The Lord!

In heavenly armour we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
We sing glory and honor
Power and strengthh to the Lord

The power of darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord

When your enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord

yes! The battle belongs to the Lord! That was what Pastor Prince preached about in his short speech during the music and sound ministry gathering at Penang Place last night. As you are faithful to your calling and pressed on even though sometimes external factors may be an obstacle to cause you to rethink if you should continue to serve. Fear Not! The battle belongs to the Lord! We do not serve out of convienience but with the heart to glorify Jesus. Only when your heart is at the right place then our Abba Father can blessed us with more. We are blessed to be a blessing. It's common that while it's turn for us to serve, we seem to feel tired or "dun feel like serving le". We are not moved by feelings because they can change by external factors but with the heart for God. I'm usually tired when i was about to serve or have to go for choir pract, but when i am on the platform worshipping Him, i just love it!

A part of something i wrote a while ago while i was too bored at work..hee..the rest is really just crap.
"I will only use my gifts that are bestowed upon me by You in Your Kingdom because You are always faithful even when I may not be."


This is why i went back choir and will always be the reason why i stay there. :)
