back in blogspot...in perth
Hi again to blogspot!I have decided to come back here due to
1) the supergengcell blog which is blogspot
2) there may be more personal space here now since many think i have shifted to 'greener pastures'
3) i realise some things are good to be kept simple.
I have been in perth for the past 1 month. Lots of things have changed for me..
1) me and tristan have broken up
2) i have joined a hip and happening, close knitted and connected cell group and church called zion praise harvest. I love this cell, i feel the happiest when i am with them, so liberating, not too religious but yet not wrong...something that i have not felt in Singapore the past 4years.
3) spending more time with God. the feelings of how i first loved him is back again!
4) joined the choir ministry, usher ministry and going to try to do makeup for the drama production team. Serving has taken on a whole different meaning. I often ask myself what is all these compared to how Jesus knelt down to wash the feet of his disciples.
5) doing my honours in a nationwide project called 'woundswest' . My professor is suggesting that he would try to push for me to stay on for PHD so i can continue on this big project which is going to take 3 years to complete.
6) im cooking alot more now. I so enjoy cooking for cell !! so far got cook carbonara, creamy tomato pasta, tuna bake cheese pasta, meesiam, stewed pork bee hoon, fried rice, thai basil chicken, vegetables, desserts......etcetc...i so enjoy cooking for the people i love! At home my mom dun like me hanging around when she is cooking..haha i can understand how she feels. In alot of ways, i feel i am like my mom esp when it comes to cooking! i realised i have a gift in cooking. Alot of times, i dun need a recipe to make something, even if i have a recipe, i wld modify it alot and the outcome is always good. Its like knowing how much to put without being told. Its a gift! thanks MOM! Must be your genes. hee...of coz sometimes i do add too much salt and make mistakes, hahaa..but its fun! learn from experience! I know my sis must be thinking ' always cook for other people never cook for family ' , thats coz mom is so damn good at cooking le lor .wah lao where got need me except during mother's day ! hahaa ...
7) learnt alot about stupid laundry cleaning. I have all my own episodes of white clothes turning pick, black shorts kana all the fibre from the towel etc. After all that in melbourne, it still happened again in perth!!! but finally i have gotten the 'formula' to washing le!! Alot of things appear simple to do, but when we do it ourselves, we see all the little things that went wrong. So think twice before scolding our maids or blaming our parents for washing it all wrong. Hai...mothers are great! and we only know when we take on the role while being overseas.
Recently, ive been praying about a few things...which i cannot reveal here...in all things, lift it up to God by prayer and supplication....in all our ways, acknowledge him...
when things turn moody..negative thoughts seep in through the quietness and darkness of the night, when we are all alone with our thoughts, God is there...security doesnt come from men, it comes from God...i still struggle with this at times, but i know God can turn my weaknesses into strengths!!!
