Hello people!
I am finally back from...CHINA!!!^^
Let me think...had quite an enjoyable time there. i am a person who loves scenery and the scenery there was just gorgeous! As i stood awed by the magnificent scenery, i finally understood the phrase, "our God is a God of beauty=)".
Had quite a lot of interesting experiences there especially with the toilets! after using the toilets in china, u will find tat the toilets in singapore are really very very very clean! throughout the whole trip, i used toilets without doors and flushing systems. there was an instance whereby our tour group had to go out onto the highway to find a large drain, to do our small business!!! of course we had the sense to hide behind some shrubs=p But, i really felt like i was in the primitive age when i was doing it in the drain=X
Oh, and if u folks love scenery, do go to guilin. the scenery there is really gorgeous. when our boat rowed down the river, i felt that i was inside one of those chinese paintings with towering mountains and a wide river as the backdrop! Yes, it was tat beautiful! people there communicated through songs, which i thought was very cultured=)
Ok, enough of talking. Here comes the pics!

I Will Sing Lyrics
Don Moen
Lord You seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faithI must confess right nowThat it's hard for me to prayBut I don't know what to sayAnd I don't know where to startBut as You give the graceWith all that's in my heartChorus:I will sing I will praiseEven in my darkest hourThrough the sorrow and the painI will sing I will praiseLift my hands to honor YouBecause Your Word is trueI will singLord it's hard for me to seeAll the thoughts and plans You have for meBut I will put my trust in YouKnowing that You died to set me freeBut I don't know what to sayAnd I don't know where to startBut as You give graceWith all that's in my heartChorus:I will sing I will praiseEven in my darkest hourThrough the sorrow and the painI will sing I will praiseLift my hands to honor YouBecause Your Word is trueI will sing When i heard this song play in my laptop, it struck a chord in my heart.
Lord, light the fire in me again.
Happenings in my life
Hello people!!! yeah, i am finally updating after quite a long time. this week is the start of my exam week, and i am indeed feeling the heat of the exams. Currently, my whole hostel is in a sombre study mood, as everyone is mugging for the exams.
BUT, i decided to have a little fun by asking my sister to come crash my hostel!!!^^ it was really nice, bringing her around to the canteens selling good food, and strolling around the campus together with her at night. Of course we studied! haha, but not before taking some pics for rememberance=p
Last week, my family except my sis went to pulua ubin to relax too!!! we went with an organisation. pulua ubin has really changed quite alot. it is not as under developed as the last time my family went, which was about 3 yrs ago...somehow, i prefer the old pulua ubin, even though the new modernised pulua ubin is cleaner and more accesible compared to the old one. Perhaps, it is the relax and laidback mood of the old pulua ubin that i miss. aniwaes, my family had a great time together too! only took pics with my bro as my parents were too shy to take.
Another "event" in my life this month was the birthday celebration of my NIE friend karen!!! she brought her husband and daughter along too. in total, she invited 4 people including me. We really had a great time talking and laughing away at harry's bar at clark quay- the place she brought us to for dinner=) would say that they are a few of my close friends in school, and they light up my life! pictures time!!! And the last event would be, my hostel neighbours springing a surprise on me 4 days before my birthday! they bought a small slice of cake and a necklace. Thought it was really sweet of them!^^ They also sang me a birthday song at such a high decibel that almost the whole block could
hear it!!! haha, oh my gosh! but we had a great time. It is my neighbours and of course my roomie that makes my hostel stay such a wonderful time. even though i am quite tired of socialising all the time, i do really enjoy though my neighbours company, and the times we watched movies together in each another's room as well as go for block and hall supper together;) oh ya! not forgetting to mention, i have a pair of twins as my neighbours too! cool right!!!^^

seeking God simply
The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that thy will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. whatever he may lose, he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately, and forever.

Exploring the Campsite
Today, my project group mates and i decided to go explore the place we are going to hold the camp at. and GOSH! it is really a deserted place! it is at ubi. have never ever heard of this place before till i did this project. anyways, while we were exploring the place, my friend needed a toilet!!! how unfortunate! As besides forests, there are really not much industrial estates there! After much searching, we found a public toilet but it was locked! n the keys were with the police coastguard. hence, one of our groupmates Joel decided to gather up his courage and go ask the police coastguard, whether could we use the toilet or not. however, to our dismay. the police said no!!! the toilet is not a public toilet! When joel asked the coast guard if they could relax the rules a little, they slammed the door at him!!!
Hiax...sometimes i think we singaporeans are really brought up in an environment whereby we have become so inflexible.Thus, we carried on with our search, and our poor friend had to endure the stomachache as she walked along with us. decided to ask the owner of a private estate for the use of her toilet. n i tell u, she was really God sent! she was super duper nice! after letting us in, she kept on apologising that her toilet was very old and was sorry that we had to use it. Then, she offered us drinks and due to some poor flushing system, she told us not to worry about the toilet not being able to flush as she would help us clear after we are gone!! How nice right!!! cos my friend was doing big business not small business. so can u imagine the mess she had to try to flush down! N knowing that her toilet had flushing problems,she still let us in to use it!!! She is really God-sent man! Haha, but fortunately, the flush system was working quite well. hence, she did not need to clear up after us.
on our way out of her house, she kept on apologising for her old toilet, and even told us how to go to the place we were going without us asking her for directions.
What a nice lady!
She really made our day=)
Sushi Making
Feeling very happy right now cos i just learnt how to make................SUSHI!!! yays!!! haha, finally know how to make something=p
I must thank serene, for it was she who told me about this sushi course tat cost only $10!!!! the $10 bucks include free ingredients, a free shokubutsu facial form, a correction tape, n a 25%discount voucher from sushi tei!!! Furthermore, the chef who taught us is fron sushi tei!!! thus, it was really a good deal!
It was really enjoyable making the sushi with serene=)) haha, even though there were some slight hiccups along the way, like us not really knowing how to roll the sushi into a cone. Overall though, sushi making is really quite easy. Whatsmore, it makes a healthy meal!!! Would definitely try making sushi again when i m free=))
Time for pictures!
The final product after all the making=)
They taste quite nice!
