Sunday, December 27, 2009 { 10:41 PM }

Starting of this very Christmas week, had a little Christmas shopping for presents on Monday. This time I did not buy much presents for everyone as I'm jobless thus no income. Anyway Christmas is not so much about presents. I just to take this time to enjoy with friends and to know the goodness of God.

On Tuesday, there was bboy lessons as usual. However dance lesson was not that tough. All of us had dance battle against each other. At the same time, Larry went to ask some streetz bboy to join us for battle as a crew. Apparently, it still difficult to work as a team, especially when the group is so huge.

STYLE GROOVAZ CREW X'MAS BBQ
On Wednesday, it is an IG outing day. In the morning we went to Jason house to get ready for some badminton match. Well, my badminton skill was not that good, but I had fun. After a few hours, we went to buy some food for the BBQ. Basically no grocery list was made, we just buy whatever we want, or think what BBQ food we should have. Upon reaching Jason's house, some of us played Wii, some of us bathed, and some of us helped Jason with the food. It was fun during the BBQ. I do hope that as a crew, we have bond a little more through this event. Somehow I hope that more gathering events can be organize to help our crew to bond better with each other. However, I always feel that I have too much to handle...

On Christmas eve, met some friends and intending to watch Alvin and the chipmunks. However, the queue was super duper long and the time slots are either sold out or selling fast, so we went to watch Sherlock Homes instead. It was a nice, smart show actually. That is what we call detective. After the movie, we exchange some presents and we headed down to church to watch our very first production that involves the skit, choir, props, musicians. I would say nice for the first time, and we had a full house first time in our church. A lot of newcomers around too. I also met friends whom i have not seen for 2 years! It was fun.

On Christmas day, we had 11am service. Everything went as per normal, had some fun exchanging gifts too. This is also the first time the church had 2 huge lambs and turkey for us to eat. They were all eaten up in less than a few hours. Went to AMK hub to slack and play arcade games. Then we went back to Northpoint to meet up with ChingKit for dinner and Alvin and the chipmunks! The movie was very happy and cute. The song is quite addictive too.

On Saturday, I had leaders DG. Ching Kit treated us for KFC lunch. yum yum! After that we just have DG as usual. However, the different thing about this DG is that the lesson itself is quite heavy. It is truly not easy to be a leader. After church, Ivy dragged me to her house to celebrate her brother's birthday. We didn't do much though, just chill at her comfortable home. :)

It all about you Jesus.

Again the week has been a lot of things happening. I want to catch a breath...
Thursday had a short performance for International Student Festival.

Friday we had to rush the choreo for Open house as we are having a preview today. However, we seems to have some problems. We haven finished our choreography, we haven done our formation, some of us couldn't make it for today's preview, so on so for.

Saturday suppose to have dance practice but some of us couldn't make it. Which is good, cause I have a lot of things to on Saturday.
  • Had singing practice at 11.30am.
  • Had lunch with DGL at 1pm.
  • Had DG at 2pm.
  • Celebrated Grandma's birthday at 6pm.
Nice right?

Sunday was quite a long day. Had my first official time with my darlings. it was a nice time. Lei came for service too. Anyway things went well for him, since he and Kang and join hand in hand to bully me -.-. After slacking for a while, Fifi and I went to RP to watch O school recital. Nice show! O crew dope!
Give me more time...

Yesterday was the IG's beloved freshies day. The day of their showcase. Now all of us feel relieved as we felt that a heavy load has been lifted off from our back. :)

Freshies you guys did really really really GREAT :D

Sunday, December 06, 2009 { 9:47 PM }

Head feels heavy
Having a really bad backache now
Slept the whole day
Only had one meal the whole day
Couldn't finish that meal
Body feels warm but I'm feeling cold
Yes, I'm sick :(
Does love still exist between us?

Happy Birthday to Fifi on 3 Dec. It was a rather short day, but hope you had fun. Again there are several birthday celebrations for her during her birthday. First is with her classmates, second with Peishi, Andy, RouYi and me. Third is with Joshua and me. :D

Twilight Pictures, Images and Photos
What we did on 3 december, was watching Twilight The new moon. And apparently Fifi has fallen deeply in love with Jacob. LOL. After movie we went to eat at Fish and co. Of cause, eating at Fish and co, how can we forget about standing on the chair with everyone in the restaurant singing a birthday song for you? It was fun :D

Too bad that she had stomach flu the next day of her birthday. Otherwise we can have another celebration for her with the hip hopers. Anyway, had Junior's showcase preview and Zaini scolded us quite badly. After the preview, I rushed to watch Pearl's performance, Dancing through the season. She looks so cute when she dance, funny thing is she forget steps -.-! However, good effort and I was glad that I was able to attend. Now I hope that we are able to dance together, and dance on the same stage too. Hoping for that day to come. :D

Saturday, had dance practice in the morning. I was super duper tired, as I slept late the previous night and have to wake up early the following morning. I want my sleep :( After dance, I was suppose to go out with the DGLs but I had to for singing practice at the very last minute. Suddenly everything start clashing to each other. Damn. Singing practice was alright, and we started to have another cake for Fifi. She is still not well yet from her stomach flu though. Poor girl...

Love Pictures, Images and Photos

"Love" is the most wonderful thing in the world. It is something that you, me, kids, parents, folks, in fact everybody needs. Just think it this way, inside everyone of us has an 'emotional tank' waiting to be filled with love.

Example, when a child really feels loved, he will develop normally but when it is empty, the child will misbehave. Such misbehavior of children is a sign that is created by the cravings of an empty love tank.

When our emotional love tank is full, we will feel that the world is bright and will move out to reach the highest potential in our life. However, when a person's emotional love tank is empty, his world will seem dark. He will feel that he is being used rather than be loved. He will likely never reach his potential for good in the world. So the five love language will help us in filling those tank up while at the same time, people filling ours.

I Love you Pictures, Images and Photos
Love language #1: Words of affirmation
One way to express love emotionally is to use words to build up. Compliments, encouraging words, or even words of appreciation are powerful, simple statement of affirmation that communicates love.
Encouraging Words
Most of us have more potential than we will ever develop. What holds us back is often courage. Don't be surprised when encourage words are able to encourage a person to develop an interest that he/she already has.
The object of love is not getting what you want but doing something for the well-being of the one you love
Kind Words
Love is kind. We should communicate love verbally using kind words. The manner in which we speak is exceedingly important. Remember, a soft answer turns away anger.
Love doesn't keep a score of wrongs.
Forgiveness is an expression of love. It is not a feeling, it is a commitment.
Humble Words
We should not demand for the things we want the other person to do for us. Love makes requests, not demands. Request creates possibility for an expression of love, whereas a demand suffocates the possibility.

Love language #2: Quality Time
This means by giving someone your undivided attention.
Togetherness
A central aspect of quality time is togetherness, not proximity. When 2 people are sitting on a couch watch TV together is not togetherness, they are just close proximity.
Quality Conversation
Many of us are trained to analyse problems and create solutions, we tend to forget that relationship is not a project to be completed or solve. We need to learn how to listen. At the same time, we can't always listen. Imagine if 2 partners, one always talk and the other always listens. Only the listener will know the other person. But the person who talks a lot does not know much about the other partner. We need to talk it out our feelings/emotion as well.

Love language #3: Receiving Gifts
The gift itself is a symbol of that thought. It does not matter how much the gift cost. What is important is that you thought of him/her. And it is not the thought implanted in the mind that counts, but the thought expressed in actually securing the gift and giving it as the expression of love. Gifts are visual symbol of love.
Gift of self
In times of crisis, physical presence is the most powerful gift you could give to that person. Your body becomes the symbol of love. The heart of love is the spirit of giving.

Love language #4: Acts of service
You will seek to please that person by serving him/her, to express your love for that person by doing things for them. Jesus Christ has illustrated these through the washing of disciples' feet. We can't demand the other person do to what we want them to do. Love is always freely given, it is not demanded. Request give direction to love, but demands stop the flow of love.

Love language #5: Physical Touch
Physical touch can make or break a relationship. Example, a slap could be devastating to a person, and a hug communicates love. If your primary love language is physical touch, things like holding hands, back rub, hug, kiss will mean a lot to you.

What is your love language?

As usual it has been another busy weekend for me. Friday had to wake up uber early for my kids confirmation camp. They going to get baptized soon and Nelson and I going to take over them soon too. Jialat. After coming back from the camp, I went out with Fiducia and her friend,Lynette immediately to Far east. They had a hair cut and I went on my shopping spree. Bought a pair of shoes. I went to eat dinner with Dad, leaving them to have their own dinner. We had my favorite dinner, SUSHI!
Saturday, just had my PP presentation. It was really nerve wrecking. I cant even see the notes on my hands as it was shaking. Gracious! However, it was really relieve after presenting. Now I'm helping JunHao out with the poster for Freshies showcase. We need to get them done by Monday so we have to do everything chop chop.

Sunday, my kids will have their confirmation. So I won't be able to join Youth service. After tomorrow will be the day where Nelson and I will officially take over them. Time flies...

Tomorrow I have to do my slides for IEP sharing and I need to hand out by Monday. I also have to compile all the details of Rpresenting together and send it to Zaini by Monday. Wow! So many things to do....I also planning a BBQ for SGC now too. -.-!
