Okay, I haven't been blogging the way people want me to, and that's not going to change. But since they want me to blog about certain outings, then I shall.

Dinner with Grace and Co last Wednesday at Ichiban Sushi Suntec. Finally after close to half a year!



Last Saturday was dinner with Mingfan the hamster, Chee Leong the shooter (cos he is forever shooting me, I don't know why), I Yeu the crapper, Alan the caught in the traffic jammer, and KIAN HUI the laughing gaser (he has an innocent face that can make me laugh ANYTIME). It was a very comfortable dinner at Sakura (some Thai/Chinese Cuisine place) which was followed by pool and tau huay. I like! Pity Cai Le was not there. You'd think they'd be nice to me since I'm the rose among the thorns but nooooo! I was like one of them boys. Not a bad thing I must say - then I don't have to be all girly wirly. :) I had a great time guys!



Labour Day was GREAT family bonding time. Apparently my sister does not share the same sentiments, but then she's a toughie to please. We were thinking of places the normal Singaporeans will not flock and daddy suggested Sungei Buloh - the best idea ever. Pay $1 for the entrance fees (which only applies on weekends and public holidays; every other day its free!) and you get to enjoy the holiday walking in nature without having to squeeze with many sweaty people, be up close and personal with Iguanas



and perhaps Otters if you're lucky (I was not). Butterflies and spiders



Flowers and funny shaped leaves



- just a few things you'd appreciate while walking around gazing at thick buttress roots with sub-roots (?) that sprout out from all over the place. It felt good and i had a good time taking pictures - not great ones but I WAS holding the camera an arms length away, tip-toeing and leaning over the boardwalk most of the time so don't be too harsh. :) Lunch at Chomp Pang (?) and walked around Thompson Plaza, dinner was instant noodles at home. What a nice way to spend the day. It really felt like a Saturday and I was dreading work the next day. :x

And today, a wonderful kacang puteh meet-up. :)

I've been reading a book Pastor passed to me, and have been learning like TONNES from it. Lessons that will help me avoid doing things that I will regret in future. It has reassured me that there is nothing wrong with being extra conservative, despite all that the world tells us, and encouraged me to use a black bold marker to draw a clear line between whats acceptable and not instead of dancing precariously around grey areas.

Thank You LORD for a blessed time of fellowship over a great meal of Popeyes. For a group of closely knitted friends that enjoys talking about You Lord and can go on for hours, despite differences in age and gender. Thank You for giving us a chance to help us be edifying and encouraging to each other. Thank You that we are comfortable with sharing matters close to the heart and not prance from one mindless topic to another. Thank You for this chance to be a light shining for You. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for answering my every prayer and helping me grow in You day after day after day.

Lord, help me be mindful of my intentions in all that I do. I don't want to do things for the wrong intentions, but simply because I love You and I want to honour You. Even when I share about You, help it be with the humblest heart and the best intentions.

Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son's holy name
