This Japanese restaurant serves really delicious food. My colleagues and I ate from 7pm-10 plus. It's worth every cent indeed, especially when it comes to the Sashimi (high in Omega 3 leh).

My mum, my friend
If I would describe my mum, I would say that she's everything I wish for in a person. A confider, a friend and definitely my best kept secret. I love her because of all the sacrifices she has made in making me a better person. She never once tear down my self-esteem. Her words are always seasoned with wisdom, love and affection. Still remembered when I was posted to Normal Academic, my worlds were torn apart. She noticed my disappointment and encouraged me to work hard. I will never forget the little note she gave me which made me teared. She wrote "God loves you and I love you too no matter what".
My mum knows my past hurts. Some really bitter ones that consumed me even up till today. However, she constantly prays for me and always points me to Jesus. It's so comforting to know that your parents are praying for you and inteceding for you behind close doors.
She rejoices with me too over many of life's issues. She was happier than I was when I aced my exams, when I entered my desired job and when...;)
Not forgetting the food she cooks. I love her style of cooking. She always amazes me with new dishes. What a creative mum I have! My mum is so good in cooking that she doesn't allow me to enter the kitchen and start cooking food for the family, of fear that I will turn the whole kitchen upside down.
I guess I'm getting to appreciate this mum of mine more and more because she deserves the best. And I'm grateful to God for this special gift that He has bestowed upon me throughout this lifetime.
Sis, bro and I woke up at 6:30am on Sunday to prepare breakfast for her. How nice of us ya? Where to find such good children?

All about work
This week, I questioned myself, and because I could not come to a conclusion, I decided to weigh the benefits of working versus studying. In the past, during my school holidays, I would take up a part-time job. Seriously, not because of wanting to earn money, but rather, I do find pleasure in working. But now, here I am in the working society, but then it does not appeal to me as much as before. I do not detest working. Neither do I love it. Just that, sometimes, I feel that working is kind of meaningless. Especially when you start to get busy, and you come to a point that you don't have time for anything, you will start appreciating the beauty of studying.
I'm now having my in-store attachment at Novena Square. Well, I hate the treatment of being treated like a maid. Cleaning shelves is defintely a no-no for me, cos I'm here to learn and not be a maid. Thank God, it's gonna be over soon.
And then in a few days time again, I'll be involved in the Osim fair at Takashimaya. I'm really looking forward to it cos I do love exibitions. I love random stuffs.
Michelle's leaving, which means I'm now the senior in my department. Funny isn't it? But I do feel stress, cos I have to handle almost everything. At times I do doubt my knowledge, my skills, my abilities. But at those times when I feel inadequate, I'm grateful for friends who stand by me and encourage me no matter what. Thanks for believing in me and giving me true courage.

Peek-a-boo
I really enjoyed the duo makeup session I had with Joy too. Since her house was so far from office, I actually invited her to my house so that she could take a bath and be well-prepared for the night rather than staying in the office alone. And we were like 'make-up idiots', trying out different eye shadows and lip sticks.
This dinner and dance was pretty cool in the sense that people from Osim and GNC came together. It was a great time getting to know people and building lots of good friendship. The food was awesome, especially the Sharkfins soup and the seafood salad. It tasted so much like Heaven. And then there was a 45 minutes magic show, followed by lots and lots of games. The atmosphere was great cos everyone was so enthusiastic in the games and the dance.
Looking back, well although it's not too far back, I'm glad that the good God has sustained me thus far. I'm already closed to 7 months in GNC. Cant believe that time has passed so fast. I've truely learnt much- the hard way!!!Haha.

At the Cross
We had loads of fun at Li Ying's 21st bdae party. The baby of our group has grown up into a fine young lady, while the rest of us are in the midst of the ageing process. But truely, isnt the feeling just right now since we are no longer small little kids but young adults?=) It was a great time of catching up with one another about our lives. What a blessing to have them around!
And throughout this week, I got the chance to also catch up with my ex-colleagues for dinner too. They have been a bunch of great joy to me, always instilling this zest of pure happiness into my life. I'm gonna miss them.
This week was pretty smooth sailing for me in terms of work. Had a fair share of hard work and laughter/ fun. So glad I'm getting the hang out of things.
Although things are pretty alright, I know that I'm also in the midst of testing. I feel that I'm in this struggle where I know and I want to do good to this particular person. But I feel I can't. Like what is said in Romans: The things you want to do, you do not do. However, the things that you should not do, this I keep on doing. It's really a challenge not to be Christian only by name but to be a Christian where Christ reigns and rules in my life. A life that is pleasing and acceptable to Him...A life that counts for God in every situation.
Last Sunday's sermon really spoke to me. Pastor was preeching about having a santuary that you could go to. It may not always be the church. For Jonah, his santuary was in the big fish, for Daniel, his santuary was in the lion's den. Well, I guess my santuary would be anywhere that brings me a step closer to creation. I love nature so perhaps for me, it would be the Singapore River. A santuary should be a place where you can meet God and tell him all that is bottling within your inner being. It's also a place where it points you back to the cross, knowing again that there's no greater love than this. There's nothing that will seperate me from His love, His grace and His mercy. It is also at the cross where the veil is tored, because God has made a way. Indeed, everything was done on the cross for us. How much more should we be grateful for the price Christ had paid. I'm amazed once again.

The result of being 'so into it'
I love reality cos it always shows how bad I am at daydreaming. It strucks me like no one else business. Knowing later that I've been fooled is really no joke. Hacked it!!!
