Curry Week

If I am what I eat, then I think I look like curry now. Green, brown, yellow, red.. I am abstaining from these for at least one month from now. I am serious.

20 Dec to 26 Dec 2007 at Sri Lanka was Mason Works' incentive trip for all staff and family. To sum it up, it was really great, very honestly. I need time to savour each moment spent with the group, at each hotel and corner visited. Will attach some of the interesting photos soon. Was at Sigiriya rock fortress.

Savouring the nature that Sri Lanka holds, I am just so charmed by the romantic side of God.. How small am I, yet He knows.

SCSM 2007

My body is aching from the run yesterday and my patience is running from the slow loading needed for each of those photos taken during the run... So if you are free, do take time and enjoy the photos on the website below (Limited time only!!!). And I'm sure that you're also kind to let me know when you do see me.. Hee. Anyone that looks like the girl on the other photos on this blog, I think you will not miss. Short black hair, with spectacles, knee length pants, the same blue adidas gym top, a little 'well-fed' :( , and with ear plugs. Well, I should be smiling all the way. And if you do not know me and doing this favour, a bigger thank you!

Oh BTW - I was running the 10KM-Women's Race. Look out for Evelyn, Jenny Yeong, Kelvin Tan, YongLiang, Pei Yuan, Adrian, Daphne, Jamie, Edmund, HanQiang too! Check out this soon! http://www.adidas.com.sg/marathon2007/

Hey, I had also found my results on the SCSM website:

Evelyn, Jenny, Jamie, Daphne did better! Congrats! Haha, means I need to pull up my socks if I plan to compete next year. Or should I have wrote on my card: 'My first and last 10km'. Kidding.

This is Life!

Every day had been just so... undescribably awesome.
Fulfilling. Abundant. Abiding. Overflowing. Totally Awed?
No words. Simply beyond description. :)

Since early November, there had been so many people gatherings (which are not all recorded) :
met many of my relatives I hardly knew over the years at my paternal and maternal cousins' weddings, then welcoming the new entrys of new relatives;
bowling and dinner at Allan's yacht club - delicious seafood BBQ and getting to enjoy the fellowship of the worshipper's club;
attended An Ding's baptism pior their return back to China end of the month (Luo Yun was there as well) afterwhich joined Sean, Esmer and FangBao at East Coast Park for cycling (it was the first time ever that Esmer cycled! That was real cool, thanks to Sean's hard pedalling infront of their double bicycle. Haha!);
Catch Andy Chee (for lunch on Sunday after service) who stopped by Singapore for a short while; Swam with Teresa;
Listened to Sherin's awesome research and spiritual journey;
Felt happy on WeiXiang's first day at Ritz Carlton (his vacation job, and it's at my favourite hotel!);
Dumpling Party at Mervyn's place as farewell for AnDing and LuoYun; afterwhich joined the Pictionary party at ShuJun's place (I enjoyed myself so much that I plan to get pictionary too!);
Went swimming with colleague Sukey nearby our new office;
Attended Thanksgiving Worship Service at Geylang Chinese Methodist Church with Habitat for Humanity Singapore - it was great catching up with the thankful bunch;

Today Biaoge's 'last English class' before he leaves for Kazahkstan; it was wonderful learning English in a new different way with the students, using Rick Warren's 40 Days of Purpose Driven Life book. Went for Enchanted with Gee Wee and totally enjoy the company and the movie. Bought a mosquito helicopter for Christmas and meant it as a mystery gift to the fun-at-hearts in the family (Shh..Do not tell my mother yet, okay?)

GOSH, I am overwhelmed. Do not worry, it is not 'overloaded'. Wish there is time to explain all.. the emotions, thoughts and joy.. However, I am exhausted from all these. I shall leave this blog as it is now... Oh GOD, I am so sleepy now.

Shifting our second home

The 'last' lunch (which I recall to be also the first lunch I had on my first day with Mason) - Salted vegetable, stewed peanuts and pig's intestines from Yong bak kut teh stall at Mohammad Sultan Road was eaten in reminiscence. The office is shifting to Alexandra Road within hours and I simply had no mood but to wait for time to pass quickly. Looking forward to the new location!

Goodbye, Kim Yam. I will bring along the memories of this shophouse; interesting neighbours with their cigars, black dresses and suits, japanese cusine, beers, music (and residents, together with their animals and plants); dust and noise from surrounding constructions (3 different condominium sites, by the way); extended area including Mohd Sultan, UE square, Liang Court, Clark Quay; Killiney Road, Singtel canteen, Orchard Road - the routes my feet covered.. And the spiritual journey I treaded in parallel time.

forget-Him-not

My greatest fear:

to forget what I realised about God and His ways

(Rom 8:28 - that everything indeed has a purpose)

My greatest joy:

when I remembered that without faith, it is impossible to please Him

My greatest assurance:

He is always present to remind me once again; to re-discover the joy of re-discovering Him

Facebook - 'My Room'

Woo.. These images has been cropped from my favorite feature in Facebook! Recently acquainted with (yet) another 'internet club'...

It's fun and, I totally enjoyed this 'My Room' feature. Nancy, hor? ;)

Glam Affair!

An evening just spent at tcc (the coffee connoisseur) at Atrium, next to Plaza Singapura. It was filled with glam and (I must say) that much thoughts had been put into the entire event. I totally enjoyed myself!

There were quite a number of the good-looking people we had see on television programs. It was cool as much emphasis were made in support of the arts scene in Singapore. Just some snapshots taken!

(instant photocard taken with Sukey and NN)

(tcc client rep - Abbey!)

(more snapshots... guess which is whose!?)

(one of the special guest we got to take photo with: Einstein!!!)

(Tatoo fun! one of our directors - Wan!)

(That's it for now!)

*tcc is one of Mason Works' (my current company) clients - who engages MW's professional service of contracting interior fittings to most, if not all, of their boutique cafes. :D
