blogworthy! :)
today in the middle of the day, outta the blue, randomly..
i received a call! :)
caller ID says it was an adult.
but on the other line, came the voice of a little kiddy saying "hello" :)
then he carried on to say smth repeatedly with me trying to understand what he said in vain. smth that sounded like outside? which kinda made me look outside my window. hahahaha x)
turns out little jordan wanted to call auntie talia and hence daddy helped make the call! :)
how cute was that! :)
totally made my day :)

do you wish sometimes you were older?
do you wish sometimes you knew more stuff?
well i'm wishing it now.
i wish i was older and knew more stuff.
i wish i knew what to say in situations like this.
i wish i knew what to do to help.
i wish i wasnt so inadequate that you wouldnt even think about confiding in me.
i wish i was better than this.
(or mebbe its just men being men, i guess i'll never know)

i guess this has been bugging inside of me for a while now..
we tried sharing a glimpse of it during cell here, but it never seems to be enough to drive the point through.
so i guess i should be sharing this to the few left on the blogger society :)
but most of all, i should be sharing this no matter what and hopefully not just skim the surface of it nor sugar-coat it.
there's a space in your heart that only God can fill.fullstop.
its a space that needs love, that space that seeks for unconditional positive regard, that space that once its filled, you're satisfied.
in society nowadays, there's so many things that can fill up that void for us. consumer's behaviour, materialism, technology, hobbies, education, idolising singers/dancers/talent shows, belief in your own strength/the self, relationships. its not wrong to have all these. you can buy all the pretty dresses and pretty shoes, you can keep upgrading gadgets or attend concerts and follow CDs/drama series.. but you'll always be chasing them, even the least, catching up with them. when iPhone3 comes out, there's talks about iPhone4. when iPhone4 comes out, there's talks about iPhone5..
i suppose the cracks would start to show when trying to use bgr to fill up that void. noone starts/gets into a relationship wanting it to end. you hope that in that relationship, you can find love, you can find acceptance, you can find maybe even a soul mate/future spouse. but then you find out that your bgf wasnt what you expected to be, and he/she doesnt seem to meet your needs and desires.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that..
if God doesnt fill that space in you, noone else would.
no matter how hard they try, you'll never be satisfied. you'll always be wanting more, it's never enough for you. but when God fills that space in you, its different. God - the never-ending source of unconditional love. imagine if the main source of unconditional love and acceptance takes that void/space in your heart, all your love needs and desires are taken care of. because that source is never-ending, no matter how much that heart leaks, it'll never run on empty. the best thing is that when God fills that space in you, God Himself becomes all you need, more than enough for you.
only then, will you be contented in every aspect of your life. whether izzit buying the latest technology, whether izzit your 50th pair of earrings (because they all look extremely pretty and you cant decide), or whether izzit your next bgr. you'll not longer be looking for smth to satisfy yourself (cravings etc).
may your STEP1 always be the first step with God.
(if only some would see this!)

only God can change hearts.
no matter what i say, no matter what i do, i cant make people love God the way i do, i cant make people put God first ahead of all their short-term goals like assignments, exams and studying.
only God can change hearts.
its not about me. its all about God.
Dear Lord,
Please work your miracle and let the Holy Spirit make your move here in melbourne.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY! :)i certainly hope you're having a great time enjoying the AWESOME easter productions in SUNTEC! i'm enjoying mine with easter eggs which i know there isnt any in singapore! :D HAHAHA x) there isnt is therE? x)
anyhow, just thought of blogging to let you know i still miss you and think of everyone in CHC.
just over the weekend, i went up to adelaide and visited a church there by the name of paradise community church.
superficially, it felt like CHC :) blue lights on the stage with large LCD screens projected up by the sides :) contemporary setting with a full band and chairs laid out on the floors. a camera that pans the audience and stage on a crane like those in jw choir side and/or expo delta section :D wrapped up together with a charismatic preacher. nostalgic :)
and a little less superficially, the preacher inspired, challenged, and succeeded. he had a good message, not one that i can remember about now, but what i remember and brought back with me was much more precious than words of knowledge. twigged the service flow and ended with worship.
and then came the amazing presence of God.
oh how i miss that.
to those out there being able to constantly experience the presence of God in church, treasure and cherish that. always cherish that.
not only did that inspire and encourage me to hang on with that touch of God..
one special thing that happened was there was a lady that walked from row to row to shake the hands of EVERY single person seated before the service started. that was even more special because she did it on her own accord. noone ever does that nor have that happened to me before, but there was a warmth that came with it, especially being a visitor to a strange and new church. i guess not everyone treats people the same way this lady did. but she surely has loved everyone that morning with that quiet smile of love.
have a great easter one and all :)
much love from aussie :)

having made a promise to myself to blog more this year :)
that i shall just do right this moment :)
been really busy the past few weeks :)
school's juz begun! so had the classes and hecticness that comes together with school. having to read up on what's expected from you through the semester, assignments involved, if textbooks are needed and trying to get them at a cheaper rate...
being put in charge of smth means having to take responsibility for it inspite of everything you have on. being placed responsibility for things means you are the person someone else looks to for directions. and being a person whom someone else looks up to means you have to be ahead of it all and get organised and know what's going on yourself before you expect them to know what's going on.
1. Week0 orientation for my club-slash-lifegroup to gather forces
2. Week0 and Week1 conducting lifegroup that brings people together
3. Week1 orientation BARBEEQUEE which just ended a couple of hours ago :)
i guess on a whole it was considered a success :)
people kinda mingled during the introductory games.. although it feels like it all kinda died off after lunch but i guess i would still be happy about it :)
on a more personal side..
1. being back at work with my little kiddies! :) so trying to settle back into work routines and colleagues and kids...
2. starting my work placement every monday and wednesday evening...
3. getting the hang of teaching little kids at sunday school :)
4. unpacking and settling into my new house :) having just shifted into my new place last week. finding time to unpack everything has been HARD.
but i guess i'm juz getting the hang of it :)
yay :)
fell sick last week but getting MUCH better now :)
happy belated birthday daddy! :D

it doesn't matter if you're watching tv or having dinner, it's who you're with that matters, not what you're doingi guess the past couple of days have been pretty bumpy for me personally. maybe its called jetlagging. but haven been sleeping well and hence been feeling all angsty inside. small matters can trigger sad faces ): and then a whole lot of blowing everything up in my mind cause even sadder faces.
- "Rumour has it"
i guess on one hand giving attention is representative of affection.
but i guess on the other hand, its not really what you're doing but just a matter of who you're with? i hope i'm right, but i guess, it makes me happier thinking this way so it shall be right anyhow. plus my latest addition to my DVD collection!! :) :) :)
so i'm a whole lot more happy faces :)too bad it wasnt the 3 combo pack or what the cover supposedly said it is. that's what you get for a cheaper price :)

its like a rare few dad to daughter moment.
definitely needing to be remembered :)
i guess its odd how people say daughters talk only to mothers and sons to father but i guess somehow or another, its still interchangeable. doesnt matter who it is, its just the feeling of being safe and comforted in whatever things said or done.
trying to hold your emotions in, no matter how hard it is you try.
but when a dad just happens to be there and asks whats wrong, floods of emotions just burst forth somehow. maybe even months of emotions stored. and all you needed was just that shoulder to cry on, someone to hear you out and your thoughts and your feelings, and received with a hug and some words of experience :)
i love my dad :)
then there's my grandpa too :)
he's cute for someone his age :p
and loving for my grandpa :)
and who says only girls have heart to heart talks :)
