Zzzz...

I am so tired today...

Tired of people complaining..and here I am complaining as well =P

But Lord, this battle is not mine...


Ok...so u didn't reply me...whatever..I'm too tired to bother anymore...

I've said before that life is too short to be angry too long with someone.

I think you know who you are but I'm not even sure if you still read my blog. If there is a chance that you do, I just want to let you know that I am happy for you and her.

And I am sorry for the things I have said over MSN. If you'll forgive me for my childish behaviour, please let me know by posting a comment or post in your own blog or in whatever way you choose. Thank you.

Go fly kite??

I went for the GE Women 10K run this morning. Ok, I didn't really run, except maybe a little at the beginning. Angie and I were walking throughout most of the run. But at least we managed to complete it :)

Anyway, after that, I went for service before meeting Ting, Xq, SJ and Jason in the evening.

So we head off to Pasir Ris Park in Jason's car. As Ting puts it nicely, it really is nice to have someone who drives in the group. (Ask JM to buy a car also la..haha..)

And guess what we did at Pasir Ris Park? Kite-flying!! It was my first time flying a kite. I didn't know it can be so fun. Initially we couldn't get it flying and me, Ting and Xq were struggling with it. We almost wanted to give up but Jason said that we won't go for dinner until it could fly.

Thankfully, we had some help from an elderly gentleman, who we later found out is a member of the Singapore Kite Association. He lent us some of his own kites to fly too.

Was also thinking about the lessons that we can learn from kite-flying that can be applicable to real lives as well. When is it the time to let go or to pull back? If we let go of the string too quickly the kite will fall, yet if we were to hold on too tightly, it'll never be able to fly high. Similarly, in life too, we should let go when we are supposed to instead of holding on so tightly to something that isn't meant to be ours in the first place.

On another note, if I were the kite, then God must be controlling the string, Jesus is the string, and the Holy Spirit is the wind.

....

It's almost the end of October. Soon, we will come to the end of 2008. Perhaps it is a little too soon to be writing about 2008 when it has not ended yet. On most accounts, it hasn't been a very good year, for me at least. Well, the year had started out promisingly but somehow, the events that ensued were beyond our control. It seemed that so many things had happened during these span of 10 months. People come and people go. Even the people I thought who would not leave had left as well. It was so different from the previous year. Yet, in a way, the past almost always seemed better. It is thought that we would be wiser as we grow older, but could it be also that there will be more regrets as well. Inevitably.

But then again, it's not the end of 2008 yet. Maybe it will get better. We can always hope, can't we?

Goodbye...

Today was my boss' last day at work. She'll be migrating to Australlia after her retirement. I never would have thought that she would leave so soon, but many things are beyond my expectations anyway.

Yet in spite of everything, I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow in this area of my life. Though she might not have been a very personal boss, she had always been very supportive of us, and defending us when needed. And I admire her for her integrity, because to me, that is one of the most important characteristics for a boss to have.

Well, it is said that a picture speaks a thousand words, so here's one...

D and D

Just came back from the company's Dinner and Dance. It was quite fun. Got to see colleagues dressed up to the nines, and of course, the talent time was very entertaining as well. If you want to know more, ask me k.

I still remembered the first D&D I went to 2 years ago, and it fell on my birthday that year. Anyway, for this year's, I wore the same dress that I had worn during the Centennial Dinner, because I couldn't find another suitable dress.

But this time I brought my digi cam, so here are some pics...

Me with Stella

With Sam

Floral Walk

Went for a walk with the Floral Min to HortPark this morning. Will put up some pics later. I definitely want to visit that place again some day. Maybe with Ting and Xq?? Hee...

Last Sunday, Pastor Kai Ming talked about moving mountains. Ok, maybe Mt Faber doesn't really qualify as a mountain but anyway....

And he quoted this verse from the Bible, which I think is really a timely reminder for us as well:

So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:

'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,'

says the LORD Almighty.

Zechariah 4:6

By Your spirit, Lord....

Here are the pics, as promised...

The group

Actually I wanted to post more pictures of the flowers but it's so difficult to post pics on blogger. Or maybe my computer is just slow. Heez.
