hee. okay. i suppose it's time to update my blog. has been post-less for more than a month now. It's not that i have got nothing to say.. i do ALOT of thinking. It's just that i've got so many stuff to type about that i don't know where to start,or which to say first. That explains why i haven't been updating. Always leaving blogging for another day.

I'll start with IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE I'VE STARTED WORK! (:
yipeee! God carried me tru it and He will continue carrying me on..
until my next phase of life.
I'll continue to pray about it. I've told my closer friends that i know nursing (in the hospital setting) is not something i'd be doing all my life.
I don't think i've got what it takes to stay in the "shift work - 5 to 6 days a week, doing the same thing until it's time to retire".
No.
I wanna do more. I wanna do more than this.
Sure the money is good. Hahaha. Really.
The government sure does treasure us nurses.
But, if.. if God does call me to some other place. Even if it means relying on God for my income. Then i am willing to go. I still hold on to the prayer and the vision Aunt Quee Eng saw when she prayed for me.

The theme song for the youth conference was "Here I am", the chorus goes,

"I will go where You send me,
Jesus take me now I am Yours
I am Yours
Lay my life on the altar
Everything i give to You alone
Here I am.
Here I am"

Jamie, the guy from Covenant Players whom we had the honor of being taught the basics of drama and mime, reminded me while he was talking to us, that being in the place that God has called you. Knowing that it is your calling. That is what spurs us on. The beauty of it. Even when times are tough. I am sure that our Jehovah Jireh will provide our needs, tangible and intangible.
What strikes me about the Covenant Players is their love for drama. Their determination to be God's vessels. Their zeal. Their desire for using what they like to do - you could say that it's a hobby, for God.
Their commitment. Their passion for life and for Jesus.
Lina has committed 16 years, and she's still spurring on (:
Jamie and Michelle are so young, 23 and 24 respectively and they have already made that BIG decision.. to say "here God, here's my life, use me". They go by faith.

Pastor Kel, our speaker for the conference. At 60 and still on fire for God's work.
I'm still smiling at his story of how he met the tribal people and God using him to share the good news. Those who went would agree that it's a good story, WOAH?????

Amazing.

What's more amazing is that. God has a special plan for each and everyone of us. And that if we obey, He will never fail us. Amazing, how He wants to use us. The God of the universe. What He wants to do, He can make it happen by a snap of His fingers.
And yet.
He chooses to use us.

Another reason for me to praise and thank God, is how timely my annual leave was planned. and scheduled. I didn't ask. Well, i did remind Sister L. that i haven't had my annual leave for this year yet. She asked if i had any week in mind. I told her I'm fine with anything she gives, and she gave me this week. Allowing me to come for the youth conference, every day, attending every minute of it ((:
Thank you Lord. I enjoyed the conference. Drama and Mime was a blast, hahaha..ooohh, we tried our hands on acting....learnt so much cool stuff and it widened my perspective of acting. We can use that skill of acting for God's glory! And acting becomes so powerful when it's anointed.

Raj and I are exchanging rooms now. so the whole house is in a mess!!

We're mostly done with painting my new room, just need to do some touch ups. Have not started on Raj and Janan's room yet. And i love love love my new bed. Single bed tho' but it's reallly nice.
One thing i'd miss about my old room would be the queen sixed bed.. awwwwwww. I won't be able to sleep and stretch and turn and roll.
But the up-side of getting Raj's room would be that i'd have cable tv!!!! (: H.B.O.!!!!!!

When looking tru the paint catalogue, i chose this nice shade of dark purple, Plum Satin is what it's called. The colour turned out pink. So the walls are now pink. The ceiling and some parts of the wall is a nice shade of beige, given by Uncle Ban Seng. Complements the pink walls well. The room is coming out nicely. (:
