beautiful day~

wows :)

today was jonah (fka weilie)'s baptism. awesome. i believe his name is of great significance, and it is a good name. :) with a great meaning. today at water baptism i also saw some things for the first time, and i thank God also for zhiwen sending us down with his van. really he and liying are such a blessing to have around ! :) wells, at water bapt, we saw a few elderly get water baptised! they went first, for safety's sake, and they were around 60?70 yrs old. wow, a real encouragement to the heart man to see that. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!

also, saw a whole family baptised together! Papa Mama and 2 sons :) wow. as in really all go down during the same water bap slot. amazing :)

it was a beautiful day for water baptism : )saw a cloud in the sky moving with the wind. looking like a cross (wenhui and liying saw it sooner, i thot it was a bird like cloud :P) and it was moving along! :) beautiful, i dun have the picture, but think can get it from em. :)

adioos ~ :)

BOO!:)

Thank God for a great time at potluck yesterday! Indeed Jesus nourishes His Church.

I especially enjoyed games :D cos creativity was UNLEASHED!! well, even tho some of the towers of straw, newspaper and tape could not hold to the end, YET, it was really really GRAND for me to see the IDEAS and solutions thought up. More heads, better than one :) definately.

Theres SOO much food! Im still having yesterday's fried rice for lunch and there's still leftover!haha, cool eh? :) Ytr I shared a revelation to me with all:
sow a thought reap an action
sow an action reap a habit
sow a habit reap a character
sow a character reap a life!

this is an existing poem, not an original creation; but the thing is, if our thinking change does not equate to actions change, then we short circuit the process and our lives do not change!!

mebbe cos we know what to do? but at that point in time our feelings overwhelm or we lack the discipline to actually put to action what we know as right to do. i think its time we know its our responsibility to take action to change and we just gotta stop wallowing in self pity or blame other ppl for what is going on in our lives. hey, its our lives after all, right? :)

also many times in my life, i have found that i needed to come to God and submit my way of thinking. instead of thinking i know whats correct, or just because i came study so much so i know whats the way of solving every problem. but come to God and say, is this the way? and adjust my thinking to the Word of God. God doesnt adjust to us. We need to adjust to Him. Bible says the wisdom of man is foolishness to God.

Thank God for His love that I felt ytr when praying, love for all seated there, that He has much more for them, for us all. but i know, the promises of God dont fall into our laps. We need to reach out for them and it is in the reaching out that our lives are changed : ) (also not original, quoted from Pst ARBernard) hehx

so that thought ~action ~ habit~ character ~ life.

Ryan's still in KL on mission trip. I MISS HIM!!!!!! argh. he hasnt been able to msn from his BB too :p think cos he's really busy :S BUT nvm!! soon soon! and anws heard he bought me something! :) hehx.

oki pen off!

week of misses and a few of my fav photos :)

RAHHH~~ im back! hahS!! :)))


this 2 weeks are weeks when my sisters, my gugu and my dearie will take turns to go overseas :) thus lengthening the *missing period* :) mel's now in chiangmai on a sponsored trip to present her dental project with her big eyed but sleepyeyed fren xingni..hehx. one of 2 teams from singapore! i think thats pretty cool :) hehehx

then gugu is gg to india on a company trip. wows man, shes been to more countries than me by working in this company! korea, hongkong, china and india!! im glad for her to experience so much! and constantly praying for her salvation.

then dearie is going to kl for his first mission trip!:) hes sooo excited! and im excited for him too!! hes been wanting to go so much :) he said he young he old also will go missions. and this is the first. :) wow.im inspired and provoked to go as well ! amen. i know he will bring many good reports and so looking forward to hearing them and the works God will do in and through him :) hehx :)

then manda is gg genting as her post A lvls trip:) my mei mei has been studying so hard, time she relax and unwind :)

me? i be a good girl and eat my meals at home with my parents :) heh,and Christmass is coming!! alot of prepare and plan for before executing the shopping part!! :) gifts.. cards... invitation to Christmas drama :)


i love these photos :) and there are many more, but i guess this is enuf for now:)

to me relationship is meant to last:) and i guess my parents, ryan's parent and these 2 from my funkymonkeys are such an inspiration and joy for that reason. seeing them jus smiling together jus touches a heartstring in my heart. in a time when i hear abt so many breakups. i dunno. i just feel sad that i hear abt that rather than ppl who love God and love their partner. come what may. but i believe friendship, kinship , relationship all spells one thing: hard work. takes effort from both sides:) and what beautiful things could flow out of it. the future is limitless. may God bless every couple that comes together:) for better for worse


my cellgroup :) weilie is gg to get baptised this sunday. proud of him :) to stand up for his faith and praying that his family will one day come to Christ. hes gg to be called JONAH. it means dove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. :) thats a good name to go by :) i know God has so much more in store for E467, He is God of new & greater things, always!

:) i love to see family portraits. and this one totally rox :) one handsome man and one pretty lady with their kind and smiley, loving parents. totally awesome~ :)

ohs ,and some photos of dearie and me. hehx, just for my viewing pleasure hehx

some lessons learnt

Ryan says i nv update my blog. no, im updating now!;) ive also uploaded new sketches on http://steffiisdoodles.blogspot.com! do take a peek! haha, very basic sketches, but theyre a start! :)

learnt that i gotta know where i am heading, that aims and goals are very important, if there is no defined goals, may end up walking in circles. for career, for ministry and spiritual life, for family, for future businesses, for health! cannot let things that happen dictate what happens, but we can plan our life! Bible says, we should plan our steps, counting on God to direct us :) Thks Ryanly :) for exemplifying it out.

was reading Pst Phil's book on leadership. Pst Phil said the world is changed from top down and not bottom up. what runs in the blood of the fathers also runs in the blood of the children. i learnt that role models are v impt. for us to have and for us to be. looking to those over us and living out to those under us. becos whatever we do and say and are, doesnt just affect ourselves. there is a domino effect on those around us. no man is an island.

pen off! ;)

hi all, just thot to type out the lyrics to this song here:-

You hang the stars, Your love makes them glow

You care for the lillies, the sparrows You hold

I open my eyes, Your mercies unfold

When I close my eyes, There's one thing I know

Jesus loves me, Calls me His own
Jesus loves me, He makes me whole
Jesus loves me, Heart overflows,
It is well, it is well with my soul

You took my pain and carried Your cross
You kept all my teardrops and shed them like Your

You felt all my grief on Calvary's hill

Your heart was so broken, now I can be healed

chk out City Plaza!

i got this bag and another one at city plaza! (cheaper of course, and without the golden tag ;P) lots of nicccee stuff :) go go!! :)

anything can happen :)

hihi!

i heart today cos its like sabbath for me heh. Ryan's the hero, saturday he has to be up early to bring his kids to jams. aWWwsome : )

i forgot to give testimony ytr, but here goes: last weekend, i went with R to prawning. and we ate the prawn at the zhicha stall (asked the aunty help us cook) with fried rice. Yum! :) but i didnt know, i was allergic to freshwater prawns! halfway through the movie later in the evening, The Ugly Truth, i felt my lips were a little funny feeling. haha.. i was feeling it, wondering why.. then i developed a rash on my right shoulder. okie... hmm haha, so i turned to R and asked him if my lips were swollen! ps: the upper lip was. and the look on his face was like. woah~ haha i rmb i didnt hear him laugh at the movie much after that moment! well, the rash became itchy and worse, so i wanted to leave. Thk God for Ryan, cos i dunno what i would have done. we took cab to a 24hr clinic in serangoon, (thk God it was open, cos next day was hari raya) and the doctor prescribed some steroids for me. haha Ryan said the look on my face was like it was the end of the world. hmm haha well, at that point in time, i really thot 'what on earth is happening to me?' hahaa.. o well. now i know what its like to have sausage lips, hor? :)

ohs!da prrawnn *shudderz*--->

thk God that now im fully recovered. AMEN! (i would post a pic of me with swollen lips, but i shall spare you all la~)

oh then theres the visit to see lucas!! he is soo cute i tell you! haha, cos he is starting to talk! That's Ryan's mummy :) cute eh? heheh i was trying to teach lucas to say Po Po. he mouthed it! babies are such a gift, bundles of innocence and purity, also of crying and all the rest la ! hahaa...and you should see how Uncle lee and Lucas communicate. Its classic~ haha (",)

Went to 2 weddings over that weekend, one was Ken Teo's the other was Qiulong and Susan's :D

beautiful.

i only have pics for Mr Yew's tho!

wishing Mr & Mrs Teo, and Mr & Mrs Yew bliss and happiness!!! : ) God bless!

abt a place

i like my new place:) thk God. i like my boss, my colleagues and my unrestricted jobscope ;) hehh, i got to go to Great World City, SP tower, got to talk to taxi uncles and meet mad ppl. my day is not the normal mundane day anymore! its exciting! :) PTL! and i learn alot from my colleagues. they really are patient. and worshipful. & tmr is moving day!! so cool can? im gg to be packing and we're shifting to town area! boss told me the day i started work, arnd 2 weeks ago. and i was actually quite trying to adjust to it being in bt merah actually. thk God! :) but its good to be able to be at bt merah for awhile la, different part of sg. ppl quite fierce actually.. i prefer hougang.. peaceful, harmless ppl. altho got a few also.. err mad ppl arnd due to woodbridge, but they are usually harmless one. heh.

im v blessed to know ryanly :) cos he like to bless me when God bless him :) heh. the most thoughtful, sweet and cool guy! ( hehh, thanks dearie for the apple scent! ) an apple a day keeps the doctor away! yea!

hmm food for thought.. was watching mark lee's show.. he visited holland. say the ppl there v friendly. hmm i accidentally stepped on a lady's slipper's today, didnt know she was abit disturbed.. and she started to threaten me from behind.. following abit. was lunching w my colleagues, good thing. then talkking abt it, my sister and mum were also talking abt ppl who flared up cos smeone stepped on their toes. in mrt. why ah? i think its cos singapore is v small. so ppl get irritable v fast? in holland theres alot of space, so theres enough personal space? whatever it is, lets learn and help each other by having a smile more often :) practise makes purrfett :)

oki pen off, ta~

new place :)

hehs, am at my new workplace :) @ bt merah but we're moving soon to tanjong pagar! :) yays. near town, near friends :) im still getting used to the place, but i think theres super alot of learning here, thk God. excited to get my own workstation ! :) hehs.


what is love? i know the Bible has a great chapter on love :) Corinthians 13. to me love is joy, peace, patience, ..and it is also pain sometimes, when you feel you done something that hurt, or you feel you cannot help to make the situation better. love is feeling the feelings for another person as if it were yourself feeling them. sometimes we do that last part abit too late. no wonder Jesus says to love our neighbor as ourselves


"...we have a high priest who can feel with us when we are weak. He has been tested in every way, just as we are. But he did not do anything wrong." heb 4:15

uncle chai's passing

ytr mummy came home with sad news. uncle chai passed away. of cancer, he had been battling it for 8 mths. just now she told me more, its sad. but its a reminder that life is short. and one day, like it or not, we all have to stand before our Creator and give an account of our lives. will He be One that we know, and have relationship with? or will He be a stranger. albeit busying our lives with doing church stuff?
mummy said that uncle chai and his wife used to be at perpetual cold war.not talking for 10 over years amiably. aunty sharon was their sister, a Christian. prayed and preached to them. finally the wife came to Christ, and when uncle chai saw the change in her, he too came to the Lord. he was fervent and hungry, reading on books and leading others to God, their marriage became healed and restored. children also came to the Lord.
and then he was diagnosed.
i rmb i sat a few seats away from them during svc one weekend. uncle chai was blind already by that time. due to the pre chemo procedures, a reaction that affected very rarely the cancer patients. he didnt know me personally but he was a friend of my mum and more distantly my dad. he told me he was v happy that my daddy went to visit him at the hospital that day, and he took my hand and told me he was praying for my daddy.
mummy says the wife wanted to pray God take him away so that he dont suffer that much, but also yet couldnt because she couldnt let him go. altho he had become impatient easily and demanding due to the frustration and pain he felt in his body. but towards the end, mummy said uncle chai became at peace in his heart. pst meng went to visit him cos they were now in bbg group. i think dad's blog entry on uncle chai does him due respect and justice.
uncle chai, u taught us to live reflectively, love unsparingly and laugh happily, for life is precious while it lasts. thank-you.

zoo day~:)

i love that zoo day!

using silky girl perfume

:) ytr was a happy day for me . i went to find ryanly for dinner, before his visitation and then i went to j8 to get some stuff done. i left him at bishan and i found him again at bishan :) haha, cos he decided it was too late to go afterall, after collecting tags from his helper.Every good gift comes from the Father of light from whom there is no shadow or turning and the blessing He blesses with has no sorrow in them :)
before i met r, i walked down the lane to mrt, wow the ppl were buring those joss paper. right in the middle of the pathway! i super cheezed off.. cos the wind blew the smoke and i couldnt escape from it. was angry for quite awhile.. but thankfully by Gods grace went on to think of solution. like in the movies you know? :) except i wasnt supposed to reveal what i did to the male lead la. o well. i went to i think 5 guardian and watsons stores to 'try' their silky girl 'cherished' au de toilette.hahaaarrrr. good thing its silky girl, cos its cheeaap.and nobody cares if you spray alot. if i went into sasa and used the channel .. haha, thats it. i would have still smelled of aromatic smoke. like barbeque.
anw im starting work next week aldy (dunno why they hadnt taken down the advert from the announcements..) im feeling a bit of aprehension, and also not understanding why.. thankfully God allows me to speak candidly abt my soreness re this issue to Him.. i still dun really get it..but i will do my best, i will plan my best, i will trust.
i wna believe and walk this walk,.. not only when i have problem then i pray to Him. its not like that. was not like that. shld nv become like that. acceptance with joy and trust and obey. i have much to be thankful for. :) okk i gotta go do my stuff, alot to accomplish today, acknowledge He is Lord. :)
