Yet Another Bimbotic Thot

Bimbotic Thot 2

Unemployment has turned my brain into mush...

Aren't those the darling-est things you have ever seen? =) They're Coach iPod pouches. So pretty right?

Now...all I need is an iPod to complete the look. *Hint Hint* =P

Happi Thot

Went to see my 2 darling god-nieces yesterday. They're so adorable!!! Feon's two-and-a-half and she's already asking questions and speaking in complete sentences! Reon is 19-months and she's so smiley!

Pardon my excitement. Heh. I haven't seen them in months! They celebrated Dian's birthday as well (Dian's their domestic helper) and the kids had chocolate cake. Will post the pictures as soon as my big bro emails them to me. =)

Sian Thot

Am supposed to go for an interview this morning but I called them yesterday afternoon to cancel it. It's a Payment Officer position with People's Association at Kallang. This was to be the second interview (the first was at South-West CDC at Jurong). I went there out of obligation because my parents' friend recommended the job to me. But I couldn't stand sitting at my desk all day crunching numbers, making sure the right amounts of money get to the clients on time. Work is suppose to start at 0830 and it's at Kallang. I'll dread going to work since it's not what I want to do. And it's a 2-year contract position, which means I wouldn't be getting all the benefits given to permanent staff for the whole of the 2 years!

Mum isn't very happy about it.

Oh my gosh!!!! I have totally found the PERFECT moisturizer!!!

Presenting........
Chanel Precision Hydramax Moisture Boost Fluid It's absolutely phenomenal!! The gel is so fine that it absorbs right into my skin! My skin feels so hydrated, even when I wake up in the morning! Good stuff good stuff!

On a more serious note...
Spoke to Uncle Roy this afternoon regarding the Hum issue. He is so wise, I tell you! He said he had spoken to her about it and told me what he told her. It's amazing how he took the words right out of my mouth! I couldn't have said it better!
I told him that we're going to have to start from square one because things are never going to be the same. Even at Alisa's pot luck party next week, if she's going to get all chummy chummy with me, I'll probably tell her off.

Amazing Grace

Faithful Thots..

DADDY God is indeed faithful! Sunday's worship went well because of His grace! Thank God that He has used the team as vessels for His glory!

He wanted us to spend some time to pray for our unsaved friends and family. That was a powerful time for me personally. I haven't really been praying for my family's salvation and that was a good time to pray and to claim their salvation in His mighty name. Believing in faith! FAITH is the buzzword of the month!

Parents are away on holiday (without me!! hmmph!) in Genting this week. But DADDY is still faithful! I didn't have to have dinner alone this week!

Monday :
Met up with Keegs, who was in town with his girlfriend Ai Ling, and some of the YWAM peeps. Lynn was there, Papa Sam and girlfriend Adeline, Raji, Alisa, Abang Aldo and Siti (the Fijian, not the Malay). Had dinner at Hisatomo, a Japanese restaurant at The Atrium @ Orchard. Had such fun catching up! Ai Ling's such a sweet girl! I told her she's really pretty and she told me she was going to say that I was really pretty, but she was afraid to, lest I thought she's lesbian. Haha. She's really jovial and really likeable! And trigger happy too! =)
They're both doing a business degree in Monash. Keegs majoring in Economics and Finance and Ling's doing Accountancy, and they're going to Melbourne next February.

Tuesday:
Met Keegs, Ling and Alisa for dinner and drinks after. Ai Ling hasn't tried Mos Burger before since they don't have it in Malaysia, so that was what we had for dinner. Haha. The cheesecake there is Amazing (yes! With a capital 'A')!
Drinks was at this Irish pub at Chijmes. Ling was really cute! She turned red and was a little tipsy after 1/2 a Singapore Sling. Hehe.

Wednesday:
Dinner with Saion and then down to Ailing and James' place for Mark Banyard. Good stuff!!
He shared on Romans 5:5 and some other verse that I have forgotten. =P About how God as our Father has LAVISHED His love on us, His children. Wow!
Mark also took time to pray and minister to us individually.

This is what He spoke through Mark:

• Wonderful surprises are to come. But I have to be open to Him. I was just afraid He'll say that! Ailing said to come with faith and I wanted to reply her that I'm really afraid that He'll call me to be sent. Haha. I'm really not ready to be sent as a missionary, although Mon Peng and people from the missons department had been insinuating for a long while now. Sigh.....
• Pray against being a perfectionist. Quit trying to pit my own spirituality with others. I am always thinking that I'm not spiritual enough because of how liitle time I have been spending with God. But I never knew I was a perfectionist! I guess He DOES know me better than I know myself!
• Rivers of living water running in me.

How Deep The Father's Love For Us

How deep the fathers love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give his only son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many son's to glory

Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out amoung the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts no power no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Amazed Thot

Spotted on Christmas decor at Tangs: "Even wise men seek Jesus"

Curious Thot

Why me?? Why do I always get annoying messages from people I don't know on my tagboard??

It's Finally Over!!

Happi Thots

1) Went beach bumming with Ange on Thursday. Haha.. Had a great time though the sun wasn't out. As usual, we were doing stupid things on the beach - like singing and playing the guitar, taking bo liao pictures, gorging ourselves with fried calamari and garlic bread. =P

2) Worship practice on Friday went really well, even with the two new songs on the list. Hehe.. My poor musicians! But they sounded GOOD!
Arrived at Mandy's 21st birthday celebration, just in time to give her the pressie. We got her a pair of jazz shoes! So exciting! Hung around for about 1/2 hour before we left. Hehe..

3) MME was today and it's finally over!! Hahaha! It's quite amazing that we managed to remember ALL our steps for the tambourine dance. We did great, Wendy, Jen and Jamie! Ange, Peishan, Mandy and Karen, as usual, were fabulous as well!

Milestone: Today's my dance debut! =)

All in all, MME was really great - God songs, God stories, dances. making our commitment to God to use our gifts in the Creative Arts.

4) Started learning street jazz in class this morning as well. Very technical. We danced to Destiny's Child's Lose My Breath. Fun fun fun!

I'm happi! =)

Thanksgiving

Happi Thot

Daddy's been discharged today!!! Praise the Lord! His blood platelets count has gone up to 94 and he was allowed to be discharged. Went to the hospital after lunch to see him with Shin and her parents but found the bed empty. Found out from his roomies that he was discharged. So why wasn't I informed? Reason given in next post. *Sigh*

Went home after shopping for dance costume for Saturday's MME expecting to spend time with Daddy and Mummy. But I came back to an empty house. My very gui lan (translated: stubborn) father decided to go play petanque! He said he had to go out rather being "locked up" in hospital for the past 2 days. So smart.

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!!!! Really really.

Careless Thot

I lost my handphone this morning. At Clementi. MacDonald's. Stone table outside.
Sigh... Feel so lost now. Had my line suspended. Gonna go get a new SIM and a $0 phone tomorrow. Need to get ALL your contacts again. Sigh...
Praying for a miracle.. =P

Worried Thot

Worried Thot

Daddy was admitted to NUH last night coz of suspected dengue. He was having fever on and off for the past week and when he cut his finger and the wound refused to stop bleeding, he knew he had dengue.

So... Under his doc's recommendation, we waited for 5 hours at A & E before we was warded for suspected dengue.

He looks pale today, though he hasn't been feverish for the past 2 days. But his blood platelets level is still really low - 64 (the normal blood count for an average person should be 150... I think.. Wendy! Help me with this!). So he's still under observation.
Being a good boy, Daddy has been drinking lots of water and eating lots of fruits.

THANKS ALL FOR KEEPING MY FAMILY IN PRAYER!!!
Mummy hasn't been sleeping well either. But the battle is not lost! Though pessimistic thoughts have been running through my mind, I believe that God is in ultimate control. And I trust that He will not take daddy away since he has yet to know Him.
How apt that we'll be starting a sermon series on faith! =)

Please do continue to keep my parents in prayer. That this will be the time when they'll see His glory and His grace revealed!

Scary Thots

We started doing soul in dance class on Saturday. Will be doing it for next week as well. We were doing jazz for the last 2 weeks. Wah.. Damn tough ah..
Realized that I really don't have the aptitude to do dance. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to all dancers man! It's really hard work! Getting the tempo is one thing. Remembering the steps is another. And then there are stuff like control and isolation. Wah.. Damn tough man...
Hats off to Ange, Mandy, Karen and Peishan!! Really!

Had our first practice for tambourine dance on Sunday. Maggie, Mandy's friend, came down to teach us the basic steps for tambourine dance. Exciting! So far so good lah. I can catch it faster than I can with Yutaki's class. Heh..
Will be doing the dance with Wendy, Jamie, and hopefully Zac and Jen, for Music Ministry Encounter (MME) 2005. =)

Oh oh! I found out that Yutaki actually did a cameo on Light Years (some local teenage series on poly life) as a Japanese exchange student. Okie.. Random information..

Greedy Thot

Met Wendy, Peishan, Ange, Mandy and Zac later on Sunday evening for ChiJazz. It's this annual jazz festival at Chjmes. Had loads of food! Can you imagine? They splurged $102 on food just for the 6 of us! We had roast chicken, salad, ice-cream, yoghurt, grapes, 12-inch Subways. Not forgetting out Barcadi Breezers. Yum Yum~~ *rubs BIG tummy*

Music was ok. Got pretty bad towards the end. There was this lady in a lil pink dress with a weird name, who was screaming the head off on stage and flirting with the musicians.
Beverly something from the Singapore Idol fame (remember her? The crying one lah..) also did a few songs with a local band, which had a constipated vocalist. She was really good! Take it from someone who don't like her very much on SI .. =)

Good company, good food, so-so music, stuffing ice in each other's shirts, being "blessed" by Peishan's grape stalks dipped in ice-water... =P

Ange!! I want the pictures!! =P

W-O-L-S Thot

Am ploughing my way through The Da-Vinci Code. Yah lah.. very slow, I know.. Heh.. and I'm barely half-way there.
But it had been interesting. =) Am now at the part where they explain the secret behind Mona Lisa's smile. Apparently, she's supposed to be androgynous. Amon is the Egyptian god of fertility and Isis (L'ISA) is his female counterpart.

AMON L'ISA
Hence the name, Mona Lisa. Interesting right? =)
Truth or hoax.. Got to go find out more.

Festive Thot

HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!

Enjoy the rest, you working and studying peeps! =)

Some strange potion from my parents' friends..

So many things to say.. So le-che to type..

Urgent Thot

I have to get this off my chest. Never thought I'd sound like one of the loonies on TV.. but I have to say it...
THE END IS NEAR!!
The tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Wilma (who came up with these names anyway??), the earthquakes - these are only the beginning of the birth pains. These are not merely opportunities for us to be a blessing to the disaster-hit places. These are also opportunities to share the Gospel to them. Thousands of people are dying each and every day without the knowledge of Jesus' saving grace. Now, with all these calamities, we would have to expedite our process of evangelism. Some may attribute this to the monsoon or platonic movements, but we can't deny the fact that the fulfilment of biblical prophesies is happening right before our eyes.

"Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other."
Isaiah 45:22 (NIV)

Random Thot

Rosa Parks, the mother of civil rights, passed away at the age of 92 yesterday. She was, and I believe she'll always be, an inspiration to the black community in America - to stand up for their rights as a citizen in the Land of the Free.
There was even a movie made about her. That was actually the first time I've heard of this amazing lady. She was the bold seamstress who refused to give up her seat on the bus in 1955, when the buses were separated into 2 sections - the front part for white passangers only, and the back portion for black passengers only. She was jailed and fined US$14. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr followed in her footsteps by campaigning for civil rights for the African-American community.

For more information on Rosa Parks, you can check out this article.

Annoying Thot

The Hum saga continues..

*In Da Club ringtone ringing (for lack of a better word.. what else can a ringtone be doing??)*

Me: Hello?

Her: Hi June. This is jo-ann, P****'s sister.

Me: Yes?

Her: My sister hasn't been herself these days. This has nothing to do with her ok. Sorry ah, I want to say some things to you which may sound very harsh.
(What the nerve!)
Her: What's this about calling my sister a flirt and forwarding the emails to your friends?

Me: Jo-ann, in the first place, this is between the two of us, so I advise you to keep out. Secondly, I forwarded the emails to Alisa and Saion because they are our friends whom your sister has gone complaining to, and Roy's our leader.

Her: Ok. I'm very defensive of my sister and there are things I want to say to you that are very harsh. I read her diary and found out about some stuff....

Me: Jo-ann, I'm actually very busy right now (ya.. busy talking to Moo.. =P) and let me tell you one more time. It's between the two of us, so keep out of this.

Her: Ok. See you.

Me: Bye.

*Click. Too.....Too.....*

Nothing better to do after PSLE is it?

Dear Jo-ann,

There are things that you're too young to understand. Things that happened in school that you don't have to know in order not to tarnish your good impression of your sister. And it's rude to be reading her diary. Your sister shouldn't be leaving her diary lying around if she doesn't want anyone to read it (unless she does...since she craves the attention). I understandthat you're being protective over your sister. I like you too much to get you involved.

-June-

Sending the email to Hum had been the most liberating thing I have ever done. My close friends can tell you that they've never ever seen me so pissed off before. I'm also never one to say such stinging things to anyone in their face. I've have been pushed beyond my patience limit this time. It's my fault for taking so long to tell her off.
Volcano June has exploded.
Am still contemplating whether I should post the emails here.... *evil wink*

Relieved Thot

Watching "The Golden Girls" makes me thankful that this Hum thingy is not childish at all. I mean, they're like a 100, and the problems thay deal with sound like mine alright.. =P

Myanmar Memories

Pork curry and Google Talk.

The link? Myanmar!

Had pork curry for dinner just now. Guess everyone's afraid of catching the bird-flu and avoid chicken altogether. Brought back memories of the time spent in Yangon. =) The pork curry, not the bird-flu.

Made a date with Terence last week to talk to him online today. It's was great! Shared with him about the Hum saga. Said she emailed him to ask him to get in touch with Meju. Asked me whether I knew she still misses him. I have no idea why when she said she's being very careful around guys at this point in her life!

Anyway, happi thots, happi thots. It was great to talk to Terry after such a long time! The last time I saw him was in Yangon about 9 months ago. It's so refreshing! He's like, what, 22? And he's such a man of faith! He's just so encouraging and faithful! And so willing to serve! He always remembers to keep me in prayer. Such a sweet boy!
Miss those guys back in Yangon so much! Terry... Joey... Bhai... Veron...George... Cindy... Naw... Meju... Thar Ji...

Well, looking forward to see him online tomorrow... =)

Bittersweet Thots

Yesterday's junior cluster barbecue was fun! Loads of marshmallows and people-dunking after that. Heh.. It's tradition! =)
Jimmy put up a strong fight - a full 5 minutes of struggling before Kwang How and gang managed to drag him to the pool. =P

Today's service was...different..=) Leaders were asked to go to the front to be prayed for by the youths whom we're serving anhd then the leaders can pray for those who rededicated themselves to serve the community. It was a touching time of prayer when my cell kids came up to pray for me. I didn't expect it though, since I haven't been the best cell leader. It felt really good. =) Though I couldn't really hear what Debbie was praying. =P Moses and gang were a bit taken aback when they saw me all teary. Haha. Then I prayed for the cell to grow spiritually and to learn to love one another in His love. Julia teared. And it was the first time I actually felt that the cell has started bonding.. 10 months of hard work hasn't gone down the drain after all. =) Thank God for his grace!


Monkey Clan

Later in the afternoon... I was kinda disappointed at the outcome coz I really felt that he's capable of doing better. But I just want him to be happy. Wanted to give him a big hug. He seemed indifferent. I will try my very best to cheer him up (I'm really bad at this).

Re: The Clarification

Hum's reply to "The Clarification"

She completely denied sending all the Web SMSes, making me sound like a hallucinating lunatic! If Alisa wasn't present when she was SMSing me one day, she would have thought that I was making everything up as well!

Hum's status - "Accused-turned-Victim"

June's status - "Victim-turned-Accused"

She sounded so innocent and remorseful in her reply! She almost made me sound like a bitch sending her such a harsh email! I've never verbalized my unhappiness in such a blunt way before. I didn't even bother to mince my words or try to sound diplomatic coz I've had enough of her nonsense.

I know I have to learn to forgive. But I'm afraid of being used by her again. I guess it'll take time and I don't even know whether things will go back to what it was before.

Oh man! i'm 25 for goodness sake! This thing sounds so juvenile!!

DAD, please take over! Help me learn how to forgive and be gracious, just like how You're gracious and merciful. Please give me wisdom in my future interactions with her. Give her wisdom so that she will know what to do in her relationships with guys. I pray for more friends (other than me) to come alongside her to help her with her struggles in this area. I pray for patience for myself. Help me to love her with Your love.
In Your most precious and mighty Name I pray, AMEN!

I finally sent "The Clarification" to Miss Hum Li. 8 points on why I'm unhappy with her.

Happi Thot

Yesterday's surprise birthday dinner for Ailing was really good! It was held at Hu Cui Shanghainese Restaurant at Taka. Almost everyone was there - Clem, Jim, Thammy, Andrea (who organized it. Thanks gal!), Jen, Pris, Stephan, Dudley, Cecilia, Michael, James and our birthday girl, Ailing. =)
Good food, great ambience, excellent company and a faithful and inspiring youth leader and pastoral worker turning 3-0. I thought it was great that we all got to mingle and talk and laugh eventhough there were 13 of us. Am really excited to see the progress in Pris' and Stephan's wedding preparations. They've got the most adorable wedding invitations!

Glad that you had fun, Ailing! God is generous with his blessings, isn't He? =)

Thammy has nicely uploaded the pictures here, so please do check them out. =)

*Burp* Thot

The week of feasting.....

Wednesday: Mos Burger with Tracy and Vic when we met for Tracy's follow-up.

Thursday: Ailing's Shanghainese birthday dinner at Hu Cui.

Friday: Grandma's birthday dinner at Shin Yee's place, complete with chilli crab and brownies, and a chocolate birthday cake!

Saturday: Junior Cluster 2's post-exam BBQ at Huan Yang's place.
(Disappointed that most of my cell monkeys won't be there tomorrow coz of various reasons.. Sigh..)

Sunday: Usual pig-out session at cousin's place. Highlight - Ben & Jerry's ice-cream!

My only consolation: 1 hour of dance tomorrow..

God, I can be such a bitch....

SMS from Hum to Alisa:

"June is really not talking to me. Can you help me?"

Please lah! Stop annoying our friends! Unlike you, they have work to do!

Happi thots

Went tanning with Ange this morning/afternoon after interview with Standard Chartered bank. =) Yeah! But there was hardly any sun and it started pouring.. Thought long and hard about where our next destination will be. Ended up at... *drum roll*... NUS! So happening hor.. =P Met my dear cousin for coffee at Spinelli's at the new University hall.. Yum! Pretty nice place.. =) We had to resist the urge to go shopping at the bazaar.. heh...

Our concoction of lotions and potions - secret to a great tan!

Beach babes and a great sea view =)

More ranting....

Recent SMS from Hum:

"Hey june. I'm trying my best to restore our friendship. I really am confused of why you're not happy with me. Please call me back. I need a clarification."

I shall title my email to her "The Clarification". =)

Ranting.....

I was running and listening to the radio just now when I was stopped by a middle-aged woman at the bus stop. She spoke in Mandarin and asked whether I was staying around here. And then..... she asked whether I want to lose weight and started to take something out of her bag.. I said no and continue my run..
What the...??!!

And what's with all these programs getting people to lose weight? Mediacorp has been coming up with programs sponsored by Jean Yip, Expressions, Mary Chia and what not, that invites real women to show the whole of
Singapore their cellulite and thunder thighs, and go through the whole exercise regime, dieting and fat-busting treatments at the beauty salons. Then, they had Project Slim ( which I went auditioning for.. so sue me.. =P) and Villa Wellness. Now, there's this program on Channel News Asia called Obesity Olympics featuring obese families going through hell to lose weight, so that they can... get this.. run a mile-long race or some crap like that at some sports event in the US.
HUH?? Why??

Congratulations!!!!!!

Photo taken with THE next Super Host! Congrats bro! He went for the audition today and he got into the semi-finals!! Yeah!!

I was already day-dreaming during sermon just now.. How they'll announce that Moo is the Grand Finals winner.. how he'll react and how his fans and family will react... and how he'll be holding a huge bouquet of flowers.. and how he'll be so overjoyed that he'll be speechless.. hahaha..

I screamed so loudly when he told me the good news when I called him after dance class today! Seems like the people around him are more excited about it than he is.. heh..

On the downside, he'll have lesser time for me once he's more involved in the competition when he gets to the finals (fingers crossed! =)).. Sigh.. no more morning, mid-day and late night phone calls..

Don't you dare forget me when you get famous ok? Or else... =P
