This month is a good month cos we have spend so much time together. Doing things together helps in bonding. We shop, jog and explore.
I think both of us are realistic people, only buy things that are needed. Luckily we are not impulsed shopper, else how to save up $$. Haha. Some day, we will wake up early in the morning to jog at Botanic Garden. It's so refreshing to jog in the morning when the air is fresh. The first jog was terrible, I can't last for a while and surrendered. The 2nd jog was better, at least I managed to jog longer distance. We managed to explore the rainforest at Botanic Garden. It's good. I enjoy doing things with Steven. I hope the next time we jog, I will get better and better.
Just attended the year end service for 2008. It's good. I wrote for conflicts we have in 2008, crashed it and kicked it away. I realised that I don't remember what are the things we quarreled on. It's strange but it's good. Sometimes, some things are not meant to be remembered especially things that make you unhappy. Thus, it is good that I don't remember them. I think this is the first time I don't remember what are the things we quarrel in a relationship. Throwing the old things behind for 2008 and look forward to 2009 is important.
Now it's time to set my goals for 2009. A brand new year, a new expectation, a new journey, a new challenge ahead. Not fearful cos I'm no longer facing the year alone but with Steven. Bibles says " Two are better than one". It is so true cos when you are unhappy, angry, there is another person beside you lending a support.
Thank you, Steven! Thank Jesus for being together with us.

Our Romantic Getaway
Who says must go oversea for a romantic getaway? If you use a bit of creativity, you can also have it here in Singapore. As long as you are with your loved ones, everyday is a romantic getaway.
Tomorrow we'll start our getaway plan. The day will start off with Pulau Ubin trip. We have shopping, jogging and attending cg on our list as well. Looking forward to my surprise on wednesday night which Steven has promised.Hmm.... I wonder what it will be?
Thank God for making a way for us to enjoy out getaway.

A Precious Lesson Learnt
Mary passed away recently. Sad cos a good friend has left us, however, we find comfort that she's in the hands of our Heavenly Father.
So much thoughts went through my mind these few days while helping out for her funeral wake. Thoughts of how Mary looks like before she was diagnosed of stomach cancer, how we last gathered for a celebation before all these happen, how she was so full of faith and even remembered by birthday, how she say she miss me and ask me to come visit her before her 2nd intense chemo. All things have pass....leaving only memories of her.
Mary had fought a good fight and finish her race. Learnt from her sister that we must know that when we face death, we take comfort that Mary in up there waiting to receive us. It's always harder for the 1st among you to go but God chose Mary, maybe becos He knows that Mary is the strong one among us.
Thank God that Steven was around when I'm facing this. Even though, he is busy with his F1, he still finds time to make sure I'm ok. Initially, I didn't want to share with him about this during his F1 but still chose to share. Not that I'm afraid he will be angry with me for not sharing with him but in a way, I want to learn to share my thoughts freely towards him. If he's just a friend that I don't want to trouble, then what's makes him special as my boyfriend? He's more than just a friend but a person that I want to hold close. Thank you, Steven! Thank You, Jesus for Your Strength!
Life is short. Treasure what you have, every moment before it's gone......

God's Blessings in a day
Before my boss flew to LA for audit work, he said,"Hope, I'm going to get something back for you". Deep in my heart, I was thinking, must be some chocolates or sweets again, like his preview oversea trip. I told myself silently, "If you really want to buy me something, get me a coach!" (Cos coach in LA is cheaper)
This Monday, he came back and handed me a gift. As what I've thought, it might be some small chocolate again so didn't look at it and say "Thank You". When I reach my workstation, opened up the gift, Shock! It's really a coach!!!!! A skinny from coach that I wanted. Wow! This boss is really not too bad after all. compare to my previous boss, this boss is more generous.
When I told my sister about it. I told my sis, it really be God cos He answered silent prayer. Sis joked and said " It really must be CHEAP!" Aiyoo.....so funny.
Blessings doesn't stop there.
There's a cleaner auntie who always help us to throw rubbish and vacuum the floor. She's quite grumpy so most of my colleagues are not very friendly to her cos they don't like her grumpiness. Last week, she told me she'll be going to Malaysia for leisure that Saturday and will buy me "poh biao" biscuit when she's back. When she came in on Monday, she handled me a sandwich and said sorry that last sat she was sick so couldn't go Malaysia and buy the biscuit for me. I told her it's ok, don't need to give me sandwich lah....so paiseh. But she very nice to me and said I must have it. She didn't buy for the rest of my colleagues, only for me. So honoured! Shared with the rest but they are just too full to eat anything. Haha
Think It's really the favour of man and God at workplace.

God is @ work
I know God is working in Steven's life slowly and steadily. God will urge me to ask Steven to pray when he hasn't been spending time with God.
The devil is out to lie, steal and destroy so let's not the devil gets his way in condemning us. Steven shared his inner thoughts last night. So glad that he shared. It makes me feel that God is indeed at work when the service message speaks to him. Not one is perfect, neither am I. Kept assuring him in my own ways. I think he needs constant assurance from me and also from God. I know it has been so long for him without God. I know he takes steps to God once again. I'm still waiting for him to come back wholly to Him. At least when we are suppose to pray for people, he will stretch out his hands to pray. It's little steps at a time.
We prayed together last night. I always believe a prayer couple, draws nearer to each other each time we pray.
It's our 2nd month together. I said I wanted to go Changi Beach, Steven said "ok, let's go Changi Beach". He always give in to me. That's his way of loving me. We sang song. Love is in the air. Steven says "feels like 2 years already". aiyoo.... silly boy! It is just wonderful how god works in both our lives. Thank you, Jesus!

A Precious Lesson
Went to Tansy dad's wake recently. Learnt a precious lesson from her parents. Her parents used to quarrel quite badly for some time. It seems that their relationship has not been very good. Thus, Tansy always have to withstand the quarrel at home. However, the last few days of the dad's life, her dad ask his wife that they have been buddhism for so long, if he ask her to accept Jesus like he does, will she do it. She didn't give an outright "yes" but said that he is her husband, will do whatever he say. That's a submission attitude of a wife. Wow.
I've learnt, why waste our life having strife coming into our life when we can enjoy each other. So I tell myself, I don't want to spend time quarreling with Steven cos I want to treasure our time together. Don't want to let strife coming into our relationship. It takes 2 hands to clap. I shared about Tansy's parent to him, I wonder if he has caught the message too. Hmm....
Steven was not in good mood these few days. It's feels dangerous to have him ride his bike when he's not in a good mood. Worried. So everytime he wasn't in a good mood, I will just leave him alone for a while but will be beside him, holding his hands so that he knows, his gf still loves him. Will wait till he starts to talk and share, that's when I feels our relationship has drawn closer again. Then he will be fine.

Company's Family Day At the Zoo - 31 August
It's the awaiting company's family day.
I meet up with my new colleague, Elise and took the company shuttle bus from Yio Chu Kang Mrt to the Singapore Zoo. It started drizzling a little. Thank god, we brought umbrella. We reached just in time for the 1st lucky draw. Benny was there with all our department's lucky draw number. We were entertained by Mark lee and Marcus chin while the draw was conducted. Being a new comer, a lot of people say there is new comer luck and it falls upon Benny. I think he deserves it cos he's so nice to help us drop the lucky draw coupons before 9.30am so that we can also try for the early bird draw. Think God sees his kind nature and decided to reward him with a Samsung DVD player. Wow! We are all happy for him.
We went for our lunch and continued with some entertainment from the host. Benny and Elise went up the stage for some games and won a pair of movie tickets. Wing suggests that our department should have a movie outing togther. I think it's a good suggestion so we'll wait for a good show and catch it.
We went around the zoo. Elise is from Indonesia, so never been to the zoo. We showed her around. Wing and her hubby was there. Lisa wanted to bring her nephew but changed her mind cos afraid her 3 years old nephew run wild. Ning was at the zoo with her sis and parents. I went to search for my boyfriend's fav - SUN BEAR. Took quite a while to find it. To my dismay, the bear was sleeping! Didn't really manged to see the bear but took some bears legends for Steven to see. Lisa said I've accomplished what I came to the zoo for. Haha.
Though I didn't win anything for the lucky draw, I was glad that many of us make an effort to come together as a department to have some fun together. Outside work hours, we can rest and relax and get to know each other more, it's good!
The day ended with my sweet boyfriend giving me a ride from the Zoo. God is good!

Secretaries Conference (Bangkok) 21-23 August
This conference is about knowing where our company direction is. We are heading towards "Branding" that means coming up with an iconic icon and a catchy slogan.
The rewarding session was shared by Veronica (CEO's secretary) towards the role of a secretary.She shared with us some tips and also some stories about how humble our CEO is. The way to success sometimes is not just trying ways and means to climb to the top but learning to be humble. The bible also mention that "He who humbles, will be exalted". Glad that we have gained meaningful stuff from Veronica.
The highlight of this trip was - Shopping & Thai Massage.
We didn't have much time to shop but this short and intense shopping trip was good and fruitful. I've managed to buy 2 jeans, 2 skirts, 1 shorts, some undergarment and some food back home. I feel a bit bad for not buying much things for Steven cos I really don't know his taste well enough to know that if I buy this thing, he will surely like it. I don't like getting gifts for others when it's not something that they would like, cos they might end up not using it. I don't want to end up that way for Steven. Thus, the only thing I knew he will enjoy is chewing gums. Wanted to buy more chewing gums for him but all I can find is 5. Pathetic! No choice, rushing for time.
Steven also taught me that after we do massage, must remember to tip the massaeu cos they earn by the tips they get. I remembered. It was really a different massage I experienced but I was glad that I've requested for that even though all my kakis decided to go for their shopping. I just simply love massage!
Finally when I reached Singapore, I smsed to Steven. It's really nice to have someone saying "welcome back" to you. Though it was a cold, rainy night but the sms from my boyfriend keeps me warm.

My Sweet Boyfirend (Part 2)
20 August:
Steven smsed me that morning, saying he will fetch me home after work that day. So excited cos today is a special day for the 2 of us. We decided to have home cook food for dinner. When mum knew that he's coming to our house for dinner, she was so happy that she prepared lots of yummy food. (This goes to show that mum really like him. Of cos, he's the 1st boyfriend I brought home to show my parents)
On the journey home, I finally realised why Steven dread to send me home after work. Usually while riding, my eyes will be looking around at the scenery along the way, however, today I did otherwise. My eyes focus on the road ahead of us. I saw the peak hours car jams was terrible. Steven had to squeezed through many cars, turning here and there. When we finally reached our car park, he's already exhausted. I used to think he's just plain lazy not giving me a ride after work at times but I was wrong. I'm sorry, darling! He's concerned about my safety cos it's really quite dangerous to ride during the peak hour jams. That's the main reason why he doesn't fetch me after work.
After dinner, I continue with my packing for tomorrow trip to Bangkok. Steven was inspecting the things I'll be bringing there. Luckily, my undergarment already inside plastic bag, else it will be so embarrassing when he sees it. Haha
Today is our 1st month together, It has been great having him around. Never really expect that he would meet me today cos he never mention anything about it. beforehand. This sweet boyfriend remembers.
21 August
Transporting my luggage to office that morning was quite a hassle. Morning still have to work cos our Bangkok flight is afternoon. Today, Steven msned me, asking me to promise do him a favour. I thought he wanted me to promise him to miss him during the period while I'm away so I said "Sure, I'll remember to miss you!". Haha...
To my surprise he ask me to do him a favour.........by spending the Thai baht that he gave me (~300 SGD). I really don't feel comfortable spending his money cos after all it's not mine. But he told me to treat it as my own and spend, indulge myself and buy whatever I want during this trip. Treat is as our 1st month-versary. I am really touched! There are times when guys going after you, treat you dinner but so far there's no guy giving me money for a trip to spend. He's the 1st. Wow! I think he's a blessing from God. But of cos, one must be contended. don't expect your boyfriend to always give you money lah, friends....
Having him so sweet, how can I lose out to him. At the airport, I dropped him an email say in caps saying "I MISS U". Hoping that when he checks his mails, he will also have a sweet surprise from his girlfriend. Heehee.

My Sweet Boyfriend!
Before we went to service, Steven make sure I travel light and advise me to leave unneccessary load on his bike or placed them into his bag. He's always so thoughtful.
It rained after service, thus Steven suggested that we go tampines for lunch first and leave the bike at Expo. He is scare that I fall sick again. Heehee. Been sick for the whole week, finally recovered so he didn't want to take the chance.
Steven always have an act of service which I really attracted to. We went to buy my makeup remover and he will naturally put the load (3 bottle of makeup remover) into his bag. To others this is just a simple act, but to me, I learn to appreciate things that he does, not matter how small it may be.
Steven bought a new jacket for me so that when times I do not have a jacket while riding the bike, this will come to good use. He always have good taste for things. A red riding jacket, yippee!
Surprises does not stop there.
Steven bought biscuit for me cos he knows everytime when I'm playing for cell group, I will not have time for dinner so now I will be able to at least munch something and not go with an empty stomach. He really "yong xin" and taking care of me well.
He will joke about not sending me home at times, but in the end, no matter how tired he may be, he will still send me home, making sure that I reach home safely.
In his company, laughter will accompany us. Enjoying each other presence and treasure every moment with him. Friends, don't worry I'm in good hands. Thank God for a thoughtful boyfriend that He has blessed me.

Bangkok Trip is another blessing from God
I have always been wanting to go Bangkok cos so many people have been to Bangkok except me. Feel like a mountain tortoise.
Ashlee said we will plan to go together but must be after her wedding in Nov. Which means it's gonna be next year!
Steven says he has been to Bangkok many times and sick of it already so wont go.
Tried asking my 2nd sister but she has plans to go Japan or Korea but just not Bangkok.
Friends around me just dun have Bangkok as their travel plan for this year.
God knows the desires of our heart. One fine day, boss said I'm going to Bangkok! Wow. It's a secretaries conference organised by my company. Imagine a bangkok trip with flight fare, accommodation and meals paid for all 3 days. Truely, this blessing came like a surprise and it's sure is a pleasant one. So I only need to spend money on shopping and massage! Wow, God is indeed good to me!
Thanks you, Jesus!

Daddy is the BEST!
I still remember dad will always ask us what we want to eat on Saturday morning cos he will usually buy breakfast for us.
Today woke up as per norm, dad says "I've bought the carrot cake you wanted long time ago".(My reaction = Shocked!)
For your info, Pasir Ris does not sell carrot cake at all. Long time ago, I told dad I feel like eating carrot cake for Saturday breakfast but he says Pasir Ris doesn't sell so end up buying prata for breakfast again.Sigh...
Today, was shocked to have carrot cake for breakfast. How did it appear? You will never guessed it. Dad drove ALL the way to AMK to buy carrot cake for me! Cos he doted on me. He knew I wanted to eat this for a long time and knew that I've been sick for the whole week, have been unhappy, so he bought this to cheer me up.
What more can I ask? Father has given me the greatest dad already. Touched! But I told dad next time no need to do that, he just reply "Anyway today holiday, no need to work and it's only a short drive". Pasir Ris to Ang Mo Kio early morning is definitely not a short drive. That's the real meaning of "Distance doesn't matter". Dad showed his love through his action.
I thought I can spend OUR first holiday together but in the end.sigh...What to do...Just have to bear with it, trying to be an understanding person.
At least, dad brighten the day I thought was going to be very down.
Thanks dad! Thanks Heavenly Daddy for a awesome dad!

For your info, Pasir Ris does not sell carrot cake at all. Long time ago, I told dad I feel like eating carrot cake for Saturday breakfast but he says Pasir Ris doesn't sell so end up buying prata for breakfast again.Sigh...
Today, was shocked to have carrot cake for breakfast. How did it appear? You will never guessed it. Dad drove ALL the way to AMK to buy carrot cake for me! Cos he doted on me. He knew I wanted to eat this for a long time and knew that I've been sick for the whole week, have been unhappy, so he bought this to cheer me up.
What more can I ask? Father has given me the greatest dad already. Touched! But I told dad next time no need to do that, he just reply "Anyway today holiday, no need to work and it's only a short drive". Pasir Ris to Ang Mo Kio early morning is definitely not a short drive. That's the real meaning of "Distance doesn't matter". Dad showed his love through his action.
I thought I can spend OUR first holiday together but in the end.sigh...What to do...Just have to bear with it, trying to be an understanding person.
At least, dad brighten the day I thought was going to be very down.
Thanks dad! Thanks Heavenly Daddy for a awesome dad!

Another Breakthru
Like what I have shared earlier in this year. 2008 is a year of breakthrough. How I know it? I just knew it....It's in the spirit man. Can feel it.
Before CNY 2008, I finally frame up my precious moment cross stitch (a pic with a girl and a boy praying at the table saying "Prayer unites Hearts"). I have completed this piece long time ago, however, failed to frame this up for a very long time. Finally when I did it, just feel that this will bring along blessings from God. The desire I wanted, a partner that prays together with me.
Steven and I are finally together. That's my another breakthrough = a partner that I found!
We must always learn to be grateful to God in all things. Thank you, Jesus for Steven. Continue to be with us and teach us to place you first in our lives and give us Your wisdom in this relationship.
How we come together...Shhh..it's a secret....Dun tell you! Haha

Cell Group Breakthrough Testimonies
We have 4 testimonies today. Here it goes:
1) Thank God for His protection on Steven. Steven almost met an accident as a car in front of his bike suddenly brake on amber light. Being alert, he made a swerve and avoided that car and went past the traffic lights. God protected him with His angels and His wisdom
2) Pam thanked God that her new TV set is finally working after much figuring what happen to her favourite channel.
3) Sabrina had just finish her first semster modules and scored 90+ out of 100. Despite being a full time housewife, looking after 3 kids, her husband and 2 elderly parents, Sabrina took a course that she wanted to purse and topped in the class. Isn't that amazing? Indeed. The last time I remember myself topping in class was Sec 2 days, when I topped my chinese because my chinese teacher is very handsome....haha....that's my motivation. Wonder what's Sabrina motivation, hope it's not the handsome teacher like mine.heehee
4) Tansy's dad finally gave his heart to Jesus. Cell group has been praying for Tansy's dad ever since he was warded to hospital. Love of God touched him in special ways as the cell group members and other dialect church members went down to visit him. We can all see Tansy's face beaming with joy.
Nothing beats the salvation of a soul especially your loved ones. I'm also waiting for my friend, Steven to come back to Heavenly Daddy once again. Cg has been praying for him every cg session. I have been praying everyday that God will touch him and draw him back STRONG for Him once again. We know that God will answer our prayers in His time. Let's keep on praying for our cell group to have breakthrough testimonies flooding in.

Whatever God promise, He will do
"God is not a man, ttat He should lie, nor a son of Man, that He should repent. Has He not said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" - Numbers 23:19
It's been a while since I last hear a word from Daddy God. As I was reading His word in the morning (as usual before work), suddenly this verse come to me strongly. A verse to give my friend so I sms the verse through. I'm not sure what God has promise this friend of mine but feel that He will make it come to pass for His glory.
Many a times, we send our prayer request to God, hoping to let it come true. However, all things are in His time. Just like this blog that I have created "God's Best". Somehow, you know and you know that God will only keep His Best for the child that he delights. Let's continue to delight ourselves in the lord and gain His favor, such that we will have His best!!!!

Dream that lead me to thank God
Few days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night thanking God. I dreamt of my dad giving me a ride to some friend's place where it's rather far. Then I woke up. Many will ask why this dream makes me want to thank God.
Basically, my dad is a father that works 7days in a week. Yes! Everyday! He's has always been a dad I'm proud to show off to. During my sister's confinment, mum was there to help out. When mum ask dad to deliver stuff to sis place, dad wont complain and do it willingly despite having to travel from Pasir Ris all the way to the far west of singapore Jurong West. This rare man already doesn't exist, that why this daughter of his haven't got married cos can't find a man as nice as my dad...haha
During the few days stay at my sister's place over last weekend, makes me realise how great my mum is. Mum despite being tired, will wake up in the middle of the night to help feed baby and during the day cook confinment food for my sister, clean the house etc. Her love is indeed great but sometimes not appreciated by my sister. So I'll always have to remind sister to be appreciative of the things mum is doing for her.
I have great parents that are being blessed by God. It's really an honor to have them as my parents. Words are never enough to show how much I'm grateful to them as my parents.
So that's why I woke up, thanking God for great parents! A thankful person is a contented person and will also be a happier person.Amen!

Birthday 2008
It's been an awesome celebration time of the year again!
Last friday, cg celebrated my birthday with my desired gift - "The Fear of the Lord" by John Bevere. God has been talking to me on the fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom so wanna find out more about it. On top of that, they gave me a book mark that say about the "joy" of the Lord which is something that i want to sustain too.
Sabrina is so nice. She bake a big orea cheese cake for me and Pam. Though I dun really like cheese cake but must always learn to appreciate other's hard work. Thank sabrina for her hard work. I also take the opportunity to thank Sheryn for all her leading and being a great fren to me.
Saturday had a family dinner at Roland's restuarant. Wow, the food is fabulous!Always cherish the time spend with my family when all are busy, yet make an effort to be together.
Blessings never stop there. Mary has gotten Kris to buy a motivational poster that says "Don't Quit". It's so nice of all of them.
Last night, one of my friend gave me a birthday dinner treat and a bear name "hope". It's amazing to know there's such a bear and it's a praying bear! Must be hard to find. "Hope" = Holding on Praying Expectantly. That's why it's a praying bear. Though I dun really like soft toy as gift but think I'll treasure this. heehee
Today my actual day, Joanne (my JC fren) is going to give me a treat at "creation". It's a western food dining place. One of my fav dining place cos the food is simply delicious! So meeting Joanne for lunch later.
Evening time, Serene, Michelle and Peixiong is coming over my place for dinner. They are my junior ushers and great friends whom I felt really treasure our frenship. Gonna cook dinner for them and my family since I'm on birthday leave today. Hope all will enjoy the food!

New Job
Started work for a week at Far East Organisation - Group Internal Audit department. Colleagues are nice and I think I shouldn't have a problem getting to know them. It's been a blessing to know that I have 2 christian colleagues around in my dept. My boss is a nagging person. Think I should not have a problem in this job since the boss is a quite alright person as of now.
Basically for the past week, reach home totally drained out. Maybe due to the new environment, so much things to remember thus brain juices is used up during the day. Slept early almost everyday when I came home. Hoping to replenish my energy for the next day. Boss is a very punctual man so I must reach earlier than him. I dun like to reach office later than my boss cos that will not reflect well on myself.
Still trying to adapt myself to the pace of work but one thing I must thank god is that this job doesn't encourage overtime, which means I dun really have to stay back late for work. Praise the Lord!

It has been a great weekend.
Saturday afternoon Kris, Pam, Rayna and Elise came over my place to learn basic makeup. I'm not super expert but thought of sharing with them what I know. It's a form of blessings to my friend. That's what I think. It's been fun cos a lot of sharing what product is good, how to apply etc. Overall, I think I enjoyed myself. It's always good when you can bless others. Will share with Mary on makeup when she's better.
Thereafter sat evening, we went Changi coastal walk. It's 2.2km but to and fro will be 4.4km. Evening walk along the beach is soothing. Maybe becos I always enjoyed the sea. Along the way, saw planes from afar. Didn't like it cos planes make me think of the past that I don't want to think about. When we complete the 2,2km, Pam said she's tired. So we brought her to take a cab at changi beach club. James, Elise and Pam took a cab home from there while Steven and myself continue to head back to Changi village. This walk is a time of sorting out thoughts and continue my walk in my life.
Starting my new job tomorrow. Have a little fear. Maybe fear of new change, new environment. I really dunno. Have to spend today praying more to gain more faith and confidence in this new challenage that I am heading to.
Felt that this year 2008, is a year of blessings and breakthru. It a kind of expectation and hope that God has given to me. Will eventually see myself adapting well in this new job. Thus, these few months have to really focus and try to adapt to the changes around me.
For the time being, I just wanna be wise and don't get myself involve in March TTT's event planning. Maybe April's planning I might be involved, will see how it goes.
Thank God for a great weekend.

My Resting week
Monday:
It's a fruitful day at workshop. Learning new things about being a good secretary. The most important thing I grasp is to look professional. First impression counts for others. Coupled with that, we must also check our work before submitting to build trust that our work is error free. A lot of basic stuff but act as a reminder to me.
Tuesday:
Bought a new shoe for office outfit
Wednesday:
Meet up with Sabrina to help her choose assessment books for her son, Joel. Sabrina shared with me about her eldest son. It's good to know that the eldest son is sharing with her the deeper things in his heart. He must have pluck up lots of courage to share such stuff. I'm glad that I'm a listening ear for her and promise to help her pray for her son's appeal to the school.
Thereafter, meet up with TTT's committee to discuss and plan out monthly events.Looking forward to the events organising. Moving towards proposal writings for certain events and even hosting some of them. Mary says she gonna give us a chance for those who want to try hosting it. I think it's a good way to learn how we carry our self in hosting events. Need lots of courage and thick-skin.haha
Thursday:
Went for a meal with my mum. Intending to go back my secondary school for meal but school security is so tight nowsaday. So never managed to eat school canteen food. Just went market for a meal and went to do some "marketing" with her. Dinner was prepared by mum as usual but with the help of her assistant (that's me!). I treasured time spent with my mum as I hardly do such stuff with her since I started working. At least, I realised that in my mum's eye, I'm a daughter that cares. That's very important to me.
Rest of the week will also be as fruitful...stay tune for more sharing
