Women Of Destiny

I was allow to blog anything i want.

And this is my first time trying to post something on a blog ! *loud cheerings* I was hoping it could help me to improve my English, because i know PRIS will always correct me if i made any grammatical mistakes. =P

I woke up very early in the morning, around 7.15 (to me, it is VERY early) and it was just so hard to even drag myself across the room. Today is New Year's Eve, i should be enjoying myself, sleeping in and waking up only in the late afternoons, or just stone in front of the TV.

All because i love the game so much. It is New Year's Eve, and we still have basketball training. I had already miss so many sessions before, so even if i'm so tempted to go back to sleep again, i cant do that.

I was actually kind of looking forward to it. Just in case your didnt know, i had to say i really s**k on the court =( Like i am such a slow slow slow learner. But just a few weeks back, a friend very painstakingly taught me how to lay-up the RIGHT way, (which by the way lay-up is the most basic skill). With all the footing, the hand and all.

So today, i was hoping i can apply it properly. Unfortunately, i forgot how, well, not really forgot, but i just cannot get it right. Not only that, I also cant seem to do anything right today. Even simple things like passing!



This made me very frustrated and angry with myself. Suddenly i just felt so disappointed.



And all those thoughts about quiting and giving up kept coming to me. I just felt so useless.
I went home feeling so lousy about myself.

After that, I ate some otah and beef for lunch, and i'm ok again! =)

Anyway, i thought about it. Its like I almost always felt this way after trainings that doesnt go so well so i'll get over it soon
Let's smile! =)




Signing off,

Dear daughters!

It definitely seems that it was a superb pre Christmas service by Ps Eugene that I missed while in encounter. Can someone send me their notes pls pls pls!!! Ok Prissy, you've been arrowed!

Christmas is so round the corner! Do invite your frens for our youth party or Christmas service. Christmas is indeed a special time so let's take this great opportunity to share with our frens the real beauty of CHRISTmas!

Congrats Bel!!!!! Woah it wasn't easy initially. Baptism venue was changed from TCT to TC Marine Parade. But thankfully we made it there safely :) Really thk God for the cab that came & was willing to fetch us!!!! Phew!

Bel's frens were there. A cute & slightly shy lot =) Ann made it in time, Bren bren got lost along the way yea *hahah. Oh ya. I was baptized in TC as well. The rest was baptized in TCT since we moved to TCT then. Hmmm let's see if I can find my baptism's pic. Keke~

It's really really memorable. Somehow I can still remember clearly what happened during my baptism. How about u gals? Indeed I believe God deposited a special bdae gift for each of us during our special bdae. What did you received from Him Bel? :)

Dear I just want to say (as to the rest) that"See you in Heaven eventually!" Let's fight a good fight & run a great race. Till we all reunite in heaven with the greatest party God has with us!

Taken from http://pascoaman.blogspot.com/ "Integrity" - This is one man that I totally respect. It's always wonderful to hear him share.

99.9% integrity is no integrity - it destroys trust and undermines relationships. White or any colour, lies are lies.Because if I were talking to a person who lies 0.1% of the time, I will be spending 100% of my time wondering ??when?? that 0.1% untruth will come.
Integrity builds trust - and trust is a fragile thing. Slow to build up, easily destroyed. If the goal is less than 100% integrity, it will backfire.

How to build integrity?

1. Decide that you are going to be 100% truthful - one does not need to answer all questions, but one must decide he/she is not going to mislead anyone.
2. Come clean (wherever possible) on EVERY deceit, especially the "BIGGIES">
3. Be ruthless and do it NOW - deceit is too powerful for anyone to entertain for even one more minute.

- I'm forever thankful to my mum, who through her unending patience, provided me opportunities to confess to her the hardest things. She has taught me integrity.
- I'm thankful to my father, who modelled for me integrity, that it is more important to be true than to "save face" or "give face". He taught me not to spend too much time learning how to mask true feelings.
- I'm thankful to my God, who gave me unending mercy, to forgive my deepest darkness, to accept me regardless, so that I do not need crave for acceptance from any other.

Dear daughters,

Arise warriors arise!

A four-year-old boy was finally put into time-out after battling with his mother. "Sit in that chair until the timer goes off," the mother said in frustration. The boy sat down, fearing greater punishment, but said, "Okay, Mommy. I'm sitting on the outside, but I'm standing up on the inside!"

Last weekend wasn't fantastic. Had a misunderstand that lead to much frustration & anguish. Half of me was battling to do the right thing, the other part of me offered nice little excuses & reasons not to. Put it simply I felt lousy & defeated. Yucky yucks feeling.

After a while of self pity & guilt I woke up one morning with this sudden thought that popped in my head. "You're a warrior. Warriors fight, warriors emerge victorious."

Woah woah woah. It's pretty amazing. As suddenly as it came I suddenly realized that though I was a warrior on the outside (My church's theme for 2007 is everyone of us are warriors of light) but really inside of me I wasn't one.

Well whimpy warrior no more. And my favourite female warrior is non other than Hua Mu Lan! Yeah! Arise warriors arise! THIS IS THE YEAR OF VICTORY! *Cynthia

Wonder how many of you still remember the Warrior of Light matrix? Huh??

Personally for us, it's been an exciting Year of Victory thus far. The 3 attitudes, "Always Thankful, Always Victorious in Christ and Always a Blessing to all" have kept us on the winning side of life. Amidst all the busyness in the ministry and serving the community, we did our major house renovation project. It was a venture to "look far in vision" for our family. Seven months in a rented apartment and now, we're ready to go home...hurray!

So, we're taking this chance to remind everyone of the 3rd action goal for this last 4 months of 2007 - Ask Big ... in Faith ! Yes, the Year of Victory is not over yet ... have you experienced breakthrough in your personal life, in your family and in your marketplace? This is the time of preparation for exams and end of year job reviews and appraisals. It is also a time where many of us are starting to plan for 2008. If you feel just a bit out of focus, may we remind you to take out your Warrior of Light Matrix, reflect on all that has happened in your life this year and after you've given thanks, accept God's precious invitation to come to Him and in great faith ... ASK ... SEEK ... KNOCK ( Matthew 7:7-8 )

"WinDz: Hey, haven't visited for a longggg time . Didn't know you were married ! xDDD"

I had a minor shock then burst into laughter when I saw the tag from an ex-student! (Hey there WinDz no offence eh to use your tag as a story! I'm inspired that's all! :P)

Eventually I'll be married WinDz but currently I'm not a Mrs yet!!! :) So who are these people calling me mummy. I'm not into adoption either. keke! I've to do a bit of history digging here. These are my extremely close bunch of church mates. So close that we're "related" literally.

My friend invited me to a Christian rally years ago and there was no looking back. From someone who disliked anything related to Christians previously somehow I became more open to going church. It must be a miracle. A good miracle at that! Started attending church with Penny & that girl wanted to join a cell group! OMG she actually called church to asked how to join one. Anyway being good frens that's how I got dragged into one. *But heys Penny dear, thanks!!

In church I've a spiritual family & belong to one. My spiritual "mother" Serene is a lovely mum! I've learnt so much from her. She'll always avail herself to listen when I'm troubled. Best of all, she believed in me even when I don't myself.

From a shy, suspicious, angry, uptight person. I'm glad to say I'm much happier, more confident, learning to trust & enjoy having some lame & fun now. Thanks be to God! Who loves us & has a wonderful plan for each of our lives.

What an eventful week. I was as excited as each of you! Ps Serene had to pray for me to calm my nerves.

Prissy chose to wear goggles as she doesn't want to infect others with her sore eyes. Abi wants to go down the baptism pool last due to some reasons. Ellyn was hyper as usual. Zhimin made wonderful jewellery for the baptism canidiates! Wow wow wow!

Dearlies I just want to say that"See you in Heaven eventually!" Let's fight a good fight & run a great race. Till we all reunite in heaven with the greatest party God has for us!

Thanks (spiritual) mummy Serene for ur support all these while!
