When you realized that blessings come in many forms, you will know that you are the richest child of God. I have grown to understand how much God blessed me throughout this "low" period of my life, as He sent friends that money can't buy, buddies that time can't afford, leaders that wisdom can't purchased, and a HOME (church and cell group) that only His life can measure. I'm indeed bless, much more than blessed!
Thank Heaven that God chose me to be His Children for it is written: YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU. ( JOHN 15:16 ) As I count all of my blessings, I remembered to also count the fact that God chose ME to be a Child of His! Just think of how important I am to God, I know what a blessing it is to be selected as a Child of His!Psalm 91:11–12
For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.Thank you, thank you Jesus.
I was out the whole days with 4 angels of whom I believe was sent by God to watch over me while I was in China - Beijing last May. Every moment with them seems to be the time of my life. I just love the way they are, uniquely special.
We were out actually having the thoughts of celebrating Valentine day together (I know is like super late to do so, but hey, if you are sincere, EVERYDAY is Valentine day!) but due to our busy schedule since the start of the year because of projects and exams, today we were out to celebrate HuiMing's birthday which was supposed to be in January, instead. It was pretty sinful of how we welcomed and enjoyed today. Let my sinful story begins!
We met up at Buona Vista MRT at supposedly 1230pm, but girls being girls, we were late, except for Ivana was who there by 11am because she got the time ALL wrong. -_- Thank God that our wonderful organizer, set a grace of half an hour. We set our feet to our first station at 1pm and it is to Holland Village. Sad to say, I did not take a picture of the windmill, because we were too hungry and we needed just food to fill our hunger. Guess what, because of that, we just got ourselves into a shop that's found everywhere, Swensens! It's pretty lame that we traveled so far just to eat in a fine-dinning restaurant where we can get it everywhere in Singapore. No complain as it seems as if we booked the whole restaurant.
While waiting for our food, is time to take some pictures.

Our FOOD.



A picture with Ivana (Something is so not right with me - I don't know what but yeah, just weird)

Time indeed flies! Before we knew, it was almost 4pm. After a satisfying lunch, we decided to go down to Bugis, realising that there is nothing much for us to shop/walk around in Holland V. We board the bus and off we go! We shopped around, loitered a while and surely I got myself something again. I never know I was so BLUR and I didn't know Bugis is a loop not to mention that this whole place seems so big to a girl whose legs are in pain! We walked one whole big group to just decide what we want for dinner and as aimlessly as we could be, we found nothing. Is really true that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. We walked till we can't feel our legs (exaggerating) and we found nothing to eat.
Our "blessings" for the day, is a super nice "toy".

We entered Billy Bombers and we were out of Billy Bombers becuase we have no idea what we want. The waiters and waitresses must have think what's in the mind of these 5 crazy girls. We were pretty full by our lunch, but because we wanted to give HuiMing a treat, so no matter how full we are, we need to EAT. Guess what! We went to Pastamania for dinner. We had Combo A and we had Pizza. It was shared among 4 and HuiMing has her spaghetti. It was so full that we can't even eat these little food that we ordered, but well, wastage is the curse of poverty, so we tried to finish all that we ordered.
Our dinner.



(My poor ShiHui, struggling to finish all the food, must grow FAT FAT)
Some photo taking sessions before moving onto the next event for the night


It is really sinful on the amount of food that we eat. Western food on both meals and that's not the end. Due to the overloaded stomach, we decided to walk around in the shopping center before we could go for the MAIN "COURSE" of the day. It was about 9pm when we headed into NYDC and have our desserts. The pictures explain itself how sinful our days have been. Well, there is no regret to pamper ourselves once in a blue moon and we promised that our next outing will be Pasir Ris Park for serious cycling and exercising.
Main "Course"


Birthday Girl and her money cannot buy gift


Some camwhoring first - Super FULL face



I can't imagine that we spend more than $150 on just food alone, and it didn't even pinch a bit on my heart when I paid more than $80. Blessings are indeed from Heaven, how much you invest will determine how much God will bless you back. If you are stingy, God will be too. (I am serious) Well, if you think I am rich, than I surely am! Like I said, I am so rich in Christ if you see blessings the way I do and I believe I am going to be really RICH in God. :) (I won't forget old friends if I am really wealthy;financially)
My Childhood Loves


The Child within




Anyway, I really enjoyed myself so much in the presence of my Angels. Nothing can ever expressed it all, for my life explains how much colorful by just their lovely presence. I am so overjoyed as the day(s) of our date(s) draw(s) nearer and so much of gratitude as our outing(s) come to an end. It is certainly more than just life we are talking, is about pure love. If ever I found out that I forgotten what a friend was supposed to be, I look at each of them and I will know the answer. All of you have given me the chance to learn what friend is supposed to be. They don't change who you are, they mold you to be who you should be, thus be wise to decide who should be your friends.
Thank you and am looking forward to our very first "exercising" gathering on 17th March 2008 at Pasir Ris Park!
Thankful,
