NewNation: Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Saw this on someones facebook status.
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What a joke!!
But before you start shooting whoever those idiots are, take a look at the source of this article.
Calmed down now?
Though there are many articles that are not as well written, 
it's really fun to see their effort to bring some laughs in Singapore. 
And I really think that Singaporeans need to learn to have more fun.


God bless!

I'm in good hands (turning 21)

I thought of posting this before my actual birthday, then after that I thought that I won't have enough time to finish what I want to write, so I thought that I should post it after I got back to Singapore (Which will be 2 days after my birthday) But since I am mostly done writing and the hotel has wifi, I thought that I should just post it. Now.

To the amazing people, thank you for being part of my life. The 21 years making of Jovey, and I have really come to like who I am today. As much as I like being alone, I know that humans can't survive by themselves. We are all independently interdependent. Thank God for all of you, I can't express how much you guys meant to me, there is a bottomless pit of gratitude.

Some changed me in small ways, be it habits, the way I talk, how I think. And some helped me to change very dramatically, directing me onto what God has planned out for me. Thank god for all of you, teaching me, sharing with me, and letting me learn so much about myself that I would not have been able to if I haven't met you.

I am very aware that I am loved by the many people around me, always looking out for me, teaching me new things patiently, going the extra mile to spend time together and sharing what they have and their lives with me. Thank you all so much, I really love you all.

I have received many many gifts over the years, and received many choppers, many soft toys, many notebooks/books, wallets and accessories. And many many cards. What I love the most is quality time spend and the presence of the person. I have learnt that giving a gift is not only a material thing, it is also a gift of the giver and I really like it a lot. The thoughts of the giver, I really want to appreciate you all more.

So I really want to take this opportunity to thank all of you. But sorry, I'll have to ask for your understanding, this is really not all the people I want to thank. There wasn't enough time to write all the messages for every single person I know, but I thank you too even if there wasn't a personal message addressed to you. Be it big or small, positive or negative, it impacted me even if I didn't show it very well.



If your name is not there, give me a nudge and some time to write.

Spiritual family of Hope Church Singapore


Dear Siewling,
Thank you shepherd! For sharing with me so much about God, always reminding me to live this life with Him, reassuring me of His promises and guiding me to grow and becoming the person God intended me to be. Thank God for you! Thank you for looking out for me, worrying about my growth and how I am doing. Thank you for your effort in helping me to become closer to God. Joanne once said that our shepherds will reflect some characteristics of God to us, and through you, I have learnt that God is our friend. He is not just a almighty God who is high up there and do not come down from his throne, He is our best friend who listens to what we have to say, he understand what we are going through although we can't express it clearly, he cares for what we care for. I am really blessed to have you as a shepherd and I pray for all the best to you, in your career, school, family and all that you do. God bless you.


Dear Jey,
Thank God for your lead in the group. Thanks for always refreshing and cheering us up, it's really a blessing to have you with us. Thank you for ministering to us in testimonies, not being afraid to share your testimonies and also shared how you felt, what could have been done better, what you have learnt. It is really encouraging that we are able to learnt from what you went through, and also really encouraged to share my own testimonies too. Thank you for all the prayers and ministering yo us in worship in the Lg, always trying to help us be closer to God. Thank you for your service to this LG. I pray that as you continue to submit your life to God, He will anoint you, provide you the wisdom the do what He wants you to do. I also pray that he'll protect you from spiritual attacks and He'll send helpers to you in this field, so that you can share the burden God placed in your heart. May He continue to watch over you and bless you mightily.


Dear Shirley,
Thank you for your presence in the LG. Thank you for your sharing spirit, like whenever we go somewhere nice to eat, you'll always let us have a taste of your share. Thank you for being so gentle in sharing of teachings and testimonies, I think that this gentleness of yours had really shown me how God treat us. As if we are very fragile, He is careful, treat us preciously and lovingly. Thank you for being a big sister to us, always looking out for us, and caring for us. I pray that god will continue yo guide and lead you, and that you will live in the presence of Him each and every day.


Dear Andriette Pei Qi,
Thank God for you! Really thankful to be in the same LG as you again. =] Thank you for your sweet spirit and serving the people around you with love, I am always very encouraged by you who gives the best to honour God with your life. Thank you for all the blessings and prayers that you have given us and thank you for sharing your life with us. I pray that every night when you go to bed, God will recharge your energy and heal you. You will be a new creation every morning. God bless you mightily. The Lg and God love you and all the best with what you do.


Dear Robin,
Thank you for your presence in the Lg. I am really encouraged by your giving and sharing spirit, and your servanthood to The Lord and His people. Although we are not close personally, it is a blessing to have you with us. Great to be serving the same God as you and I pray for all the best to you.


Dear Joanne
I remember that last essay I wrote to you... Lol. Very scared to remember what I wrote, and i know that I would be very paiseh if I know. = =
Thank god for you. Always. For investing so much of your time and love in the foundations of my spiritual walk with god, even when you have to take care of so many people and handle your own worries too. I will be forever grateful.
Thank you for your shepherding sessions. For your constant and persistent questions that made me know more about myself and that got me thinking what should I do with my life and what is the important things to me. Thank you for being patient with me when I had took my own sweet time in answering you.
Thanks for showing me by example, the way a shepherd should care for their sheep and the way a disciple should act. Thank god for the change in shepherds, although I was pretty upset about it, but now I know that it is within god's plan to make me dependent on him. Thank god for putting you in my life.
I pray that even more than you have influenced me, god will use you to touch a lot more lives, become even brighter than you are and show the world our god is good. I pray for the best for you.
Very glad from the bottom of my heart to have known you.
Thank you so much.

TPJCG gang


Dear Simphoni,
Thank you so much for guarding us around during our trips. Thank you for your patience in explaining things that are so randomly asked. It has been so much fun going out with all of you and I'm so looking forward to our trip to Japan. Sorry that I would be troubling you again and please continue to look after me as you have always have. =]
Still remember when I first joined the club when I was year 1, we met at the first drawing session, supposed to draw chibi. I think you are the first senior I looked up to because you were in charge of the drawing session and you were really trying to teach us. haha.. Thanks to you and Sindy, chiou torng and I were able to settle in quite well. Thank you for recommending manga and sharing stories. Including us when there is a chat or during dinner. Thank God for you and God bless you!


Dear Sindy,
Thank you for being the first few seniors to include and welcome us warmly into the club. Thank you for sharing your experiences and what you know when we first started, and still so clueless. Thank you for the time spent together, talking about random stuff, during drawing sessions and dinners. Thank you for pulling me into cosplay, it has brought to me lots of interesting and fun times. Thank you for your company through the years in the club. Really glad that you would constantly appear and help in any way you can in the club before, though we know that you are already busy and tired with your school work and projects, especially in your final year. Thank God for you. It has been great knowing you and I really hope to have a great friendship with you for a very long time. I pray that in every situations, you'll be able to find joy and be happy. God bless you with answers to your worries and refreshed energy everyday.


Dear Castillo,
Thanks for sharing about the anime, manga, kamen rider and pokemon. I guess I haven't thank you for passing down the baton to me, though it was very tough times. And many times, I tried to run away, but I really thank God for this position. It had helped me grow so much, learn so much and understand a lot more. About life, about events and activities, about people and organisations. Thank God for you and the club. I pray that you will be living life to the fullest, even if there are mistakes and regrets, you'll be able to move on and carry on with your life, doing great things.


Dear Ping ping,
Thank you for always being such a reliable support! =] During my term as the club president, I think I have cried on you more than anyone else. Thank God for you being there when stress attacked me. Thank you for your comfort and your presence. Thank you for letting my poke your nose and mess up your hair, they are some of my treasured memories in the club ^^ Really am thankful and so blessed to have a senior like you, able to learn do much from you and learning together with you. Don't know how else I can thank you enough so please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I pray that you will overcome whatever challenges you face, and I pray that you'll find yourself refreshed with new strength and energy everyday when you wake up. God bless you.


Dear Zhen hong,
You are one of the few whom I have been praying for the longest. God bless you.
Still remember a few years back, I was crying and you were there for me. Thank you for your presence and comfort, even though I'm pretty sure I didn't explain myself clearly, and you probably didn't understand what was going on. Thanks for letting me cry.
Thank you for being my friend. I don't think I have called anyone friend as much as you, but know that every time I call you friend is because you call me friend first. Thank God for you although I'm not exactly a very good friend, and tend to be quite anti social. Haha.. Thank you for being my friend. I pray that you'll find strength to go through what is in store for you in the future and find joy in every moment. I pray for healing, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I pray that God will shower you with blessings. I pray that you'll be able to find joy in all things.


Dear Prime,
Thank you for connecting back to the club, and giving your help to whichever events that needed it. Thank you for sharing your life and worries with me so that I could be helpful even if it wasn't very much. Thank you for connecting back to God, and giving me the privilege to witness your growth. Thanks for your support throughout all these years, it has been great with you around. I pray that as no matter what situations you are in, or what worries you have, you will not forget to take some time off and spend it with God, because the relationship with God is only as close as you want it to be. I also pray that you will persist and persevere in this pursue of God, even if it dosen't seems like God is answering you at all, be stubborn to stand firm in the word of the Lord. I pray that as you continue to grow, mature and get wiser each day, you'll trust in God and all His promises. May God protect you, and bless you and your family.


Dear Pei fen,
Thank for sharing good places to eat, Thank for teaching us Japanese and so much about Japan.
Thank you for not leaving JCG, although you are already busy with your work and life, and JCG had never failed to bury you with problems, thank you for coming back and help year after year, generations after generations.
Thank you for sharing your life testimonies and your knowledge, and thank you for sharing your faith. Thank God for you.
It's really great to hear you talk about God, always makes me think deeper about our relationship with God. Your views will always challenge me to find out who our God really is.
And I have to apologise, because I never could help any of what's troubling you.
But I have been praying for you. I'm sure that you know that God loves us a lot. Just want to remind you that God is also very passionate for us. Jesus came to earth and died for our sins, he died a painful death. God is so passionate, he died for you. God will not hesitate to fight for you, because he gives the perfect love.
The last time, you were talking about if what our church's direction is really where God intended us to go and at the end of the day, would god recognise us as his children. If someone had cause any of us to be far away from God, he will certainly bring his judgement upon the person. But more importantly, god will fight for you, no matter how many times, so that he can have you back to him again, since our God is a God filled with love and passion.
So stay in faith and keep praying.
Stand firm and be rooted in his words.
Stay close to God and God bless you.


Dear Ting Ke,
Thanks for your constant smile, I'm sure it had brought joy to many people throughout those years together. Smiling is contagious, and thanks for sharing it. Thanks for letting me do your makeup!! It's really something I enjoy doing and thank you and your sister for being willing to help me pratice more =] God bless you and your family with healings and protection.


Dear Lemon,
How have you been??? I really missed the times when we troll the guys and the juniors together ^^ Thanks for the fun times we had back in school, I pray that whatever you are doing, you'll be doing great, and whatever challenges you face, you'll overcome. God bless you.


Dear Aaron,
Firstly sorry for always hitting you whenever I see you. It my expression of happiness, you know. Haha... Thanks for being a great support all these times, even back then when you first joined the club, to your seniors and leaders, faithfully serving the group providing any help you can give. Really encouraged by your support and help to others around you. Thank God for you. God bless you and I pray that blessing will pour into your life and you'll have so much and can't help it but to bless the people around you as well.


Dear Qing Xuan,
Always, thank God for you! Thanks for agreeing to be the AE leader, and the President. Really glad to have passed the baton on to you and Eelin, because I really think that you guys have done much better than ct and I. And thanks for the being there when ct and I were busy with our SIP and final year project. Sorry that we literally throw the whole thing at you, together with the extra burden and stress when you guys are already so busy.
Thank God for you also, for liking one piece =D because I know you are an awesome fan girl, and we can have more people to fan girl together ^^ I'll look forward to our one piece trip in the future. God bless you with love, joy and peace. I pray that all your worries will flee from you, and that you will be able to find joy and something to thank about in everything you do.


Dear Shi bin,
Thanks for giving so much help during the times in school. It's really great to work with all of you and have fun together. Thanks for coming down when we need people. Thanks for not getting mad at us even when we made fun of you. Thanks for your presence when I invite you to service. Really grateful for you and I pray that no matter where you are in life, you'll never forget the important things to you. God bless you with abundant joy.


Dear Alan,
Thanks for your help with the club activities and events, really hoped that you have enjoyed the time in the club thoroughly. Thanks for all the laughter you have brought to us. It is really a blessing to know you. Not sure if you know, but I always thank God for you. Thanks for being there is the tough times, when the tension is so tight, it might snap anytime, thanks for being a comfort and a peacemaker. Thanks for being there in the boring times, that we can have fun even doing tiring jobs like making halloween props. Thanks for sharing yourself and your life with us, even though we weren't about to help you with anything. Thank God for giving your best to the club. I pray that God's grace be upon you, that He may flavour you and give you what you need. God bless you and may He bless you mightily.


Dear Edwin,
Thank God for you for being there for the club. I'm really blessed to have seen your growth, from the easily bullied to now leading a brunch of newer people. Even though the problems the club gave you makes you tired, and makes you feel older, I'm sure at the end of the day, you'll feel that you have learnt something, matured, a little more wiser than the day before. Even when the going gets tough, I pray that you will enjoy every moment of it. Seeing the growth of the club, your juniors and yourself, is a really joyful thing. God bless you.


Dear Mervyn,
I'm pretty sure I have thanked you for many many things just very recently. But I thank you again, for sharing the pictures you took. Thank you too, for sharing your life, whenever I ask you some werid questions you always answered me seriously. Thank you for always looking out for me and many others too. Great to be serving the same God as you, and as we continue to work with the Lord, may Him bless you abundantly.


Dear Wayne,
Thank you for taking your time to share what you know about Japanese and Japan. Thank you for being patience doing that as well. And thank you for sharing your cards, cause I'm pretty sure that they are very important to you. Thanks for helping in the club as well, many would have washed their hands with anything concerning the club but thank God for you for being there for the juniors. I pray for blessings to come into your life. God bless you.


Dear Hosy,
Thank you for adding so much joy in our times in school. Thank you for your support and help as we were in the club. I pray for all the best to you and be in joy in all that you do.


Dear fellow LOMates in TP


Dear Joycelyn
I really admire your honesty and straight forwardness. Thank God for you and thank you all these times.
You probably don't know but you've helped me see things that I overlooked or subconsciously ignored, which meant a lot to me because I was able to see more clearly, the changes in me just before and after I started walk with my God.
In the first years, we didn't have much to talked about, so we were always talking about the same things. And I was always making fun of the same people, which is pretty mean. Thanks to your truth that I woke up and let God do the change in me. And that was one of first few experiences that I know in my heart that God was doing something in my life, changing me for the better. And it matters to me very much, so thank you for that. Though I hope that I didn't scare you away with the talk about God, but I really like praying for you, so let me know if there is any prayer request.
Thanks also for being friends with me, you are a great friend. Thank you for your laughs, it taught me that laughing is good and contagious and that we should share it as often as possible. And thank you for  sharing your life with me, even though I wasn't able to help. May God bless you with abundant joy, so that the people around will look at you and receive your joy too.
=]


Dear Jia Min
It has been a joy to be able to talk about God with you, thanks for being such an encouragement. Thank you for your company and patient, and bearing with me through our final year project and our other times together while schooling. Thank God for you.
Classes had been fun with you around, and it has been a blessing to have you with us. Thank you for being friends with me.
I don't think I have seen anyone taking as much care about their body as you, and I don't understand why are you being so careful. But in my baby period in Christ  it really dawn upon me that we are the temples of Him and we have to take good care of our bodies, to honor Him and to serve Him well. Thanks for showing an example, though, I probably will not be so extreme. Haha...
And even after we graduated, thank you for sharing your life with me. Thanks for thinking and praying for me.
I pray that you are doing well, and continuously growing with The Lord. Always remember that our God is a good God and as fellow Christians, we should grow into the likeness of Him and all that He do. Honor Him with our lives and with all of our worries and troubles, and surely He'll be pleased with us as His children and pour His blessings upon us. God bless you mightily, and may you become the person that He has created you to be and be a vessel and a channel of blessing for Him to His people because it is a privilege to serve. =]


Dear Ming Yue,
Thank God for you. Though, we do not have much things in common to talk about, but I always appreciate your company. I want to affirm you for your firm yet gentle spirit, standing up for what is the right thing to do and not easily swayed by what others say. I think you'll be a wonderful teacher. You are always trying your best to stay positive and always seeing the good in other people. You are a really honest and trusting person, glad to have known you and I'm sure the kids are very fortunate to have you as their teacher.
It is great to hear updates on how you are doing with your kids and how they always makes one smile with their cuteness. Thanks for sharing =] I pray that as you continue become even more mature and wiser, you will never lose your simple faith to trust in the people and things around you. God bless you with joy and energy to take on the challenges ahead everyday.


Dear Christine,
What am I going to do if God didn't place us in the same class? Thank you for always looking out for me and taking care of me. Thank you for always reminding me of things that I keep forgetting. Thank you for including me when you are with your other friends too. Thank you for always having lunch and sharing food with me, I really enjoyed our time at Manpuku and was very saddened that it closed down even when we have supported it so much. Thank you for always being so frank, it is really refreshing to have a chat about random things with you. Thank you for your truthfulness, in which I had loved to reciprocate, no hiding and no guessing of thoughts, a very true friendship. Thank you for having such great tolerance with my weirdness and not taking offence to what I say when I wasn't thinking straight. Thank you for being such a awesome friend, and really thank you for being friends with me. Our poly times has been great, and I'm really sorry for not keeping in contact much.
When I am with you, I'll tend to act kiddish, cause you have been spoiling me too much. =P And I thank God for you.
I pray that you are doing well, finding joy in what you do. I pray that you will persevere in what you like to do, and I pray that you will succeed in your dreams. God bless you and may He help you to overcome all the troubles and road blocks that you may face.


Dear Fai,
How have you been doing??? =] It's been so long since we last met and I sincerely hope that you are doing well and enjoying what you do.
Thank you for looking out for me in our poly years. Really a blessing to be in the same class as you and Christine, although the time was very short. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Thank you Gor always looking out for me and Christine. I pray that you'll be able to find the joy in all that you do. God bless you.

Bedok Green friends and brothers and sisters and others too


Dear Felicia,
I have always wanted to let you know that I am very grateful for you. Though, I didn't really know how to tell you. So with my birthday as an excuse, thank you for being in my life.
Thank God for you, for letting me bother you when we were year 1 in bedok green. In the new environment and I didn't really know how to be sociable, I didn't have much friends then, and you were my first friend in school. Thank God for you.
Not sure if you knew, thank you for sharing the joy of reading. Before you lend me the Chinese Cinderella story, I only liked reading picture books, but after that I started reading more. Would never knew how much I love reading without you, thanks. Also, you are probably the first to introduce God into my life. Though, not through intentional evangelising, but you let me realised that there is a God that I never knew of. Again, thank God for you. And that is probably why God placed a burden for you in me, and I have been praying for you ever since I converted, which is almost 3 years now. Very sorry though, every time I saw you, I'll said I contact you but every time when I get home, and get into Facebook, I don't really know what to talk about with you. So in the end I just let it slide. Now that I think about it, I probably wanted to thank you for all these time, that my younger and still insensitive self wasn't able to recognise. Thank God for you, and I pray that you will one day come close to God once again. May God bless you, protect you, and help you find joy in whatever you are doing.


Dear Anna,
How are you and your family doing? I'm praying for all the best to you. Thanks for your coming to Singapore. Your presence had such an unforgettable impact on my life, not sure if you know it though. Firstly, thank you for introducing Chiou Torng and I to each other. Even though we were in the same class over a year, we were seated so far away and if not for you, we wouldn't even be acquaintance. Thank you for that. Secondly, thank you for your massive pool of cheer, energy and motivation. I really like your openness, since awkward little me always have trouble expressing myself and you were one of the first few people I am closed to, who are so good at unhiding anything. Thank you for your example. Thirdly, thank you for looking out for me, pushing me to study and help me cultivate better habits, diet wise and study wise. Thanks for keeping me close and being my friend, although I think that I could have been a better friend to you. Fourthly, thank you for your hospitality in Taiwan and your home. It will always be an unforgettable trip and a precious memories to me. Even though we have inconvenienced you and your family a lot, you guys were still so thoughtful and so welcoming. Thank god for you and your family in helping us to make the trip a wonderful one. Lastly, though there are many many more, thank god for being part of my life. Getting to know you and Chiou torng, knowing more about the seriousness in studying, having a international friendship, have been a big turning point of my life. I really have learnt so much from you and if time allows, I know there is so much more for me to learn. In fact, seeing how you are doing through Facebook, let me learnt more about you and your spirit of perseverance. Distance isn't a reason, it is an excuse. Thank god that he had put you the the pathway of my life, you mean a lot to me. I love you very much and I pray for all the best for you and your family. Be safe and be happy. God bless you.


Dear Chiou torng,
Did you know that you are probably the first one, other than my family, whom I had a quarrel with for nonsensical stuff? Still remember when we were in lower secondary, we were in popular fighting over what to get for our notice board. Really LOL!! Omg, how did that happened.. = = hahahaha....
Thank God for you all these times. Thank you for being my friend when we were in secondary school, for standing my monotonous humor and my extreme mood swings. That even though I wasn't being a good friend at all, you still stick by me. Thank you very much. Thank you for liking to talk so much that I don't feel bad not saying anything at all. Haha... Thank you for encouraging me to write and thank you for lending me your books. Thank you for accompanying me to JCG, and thank God for being VP together with me. It would have been lonely and helpless if you weren't there too. Thank you for sharpening my sadist thoughts, which had been very helpful in organising camps and games. Thank you for sharing all the good places to eat, and sharing your life and everything else, really. Thank you for showing me what is it like to be a good friend, and thanks for showing how to become sisters even without blood ties. Thank God for you, thank God that He place you in my life as well. This has been a very fun journey of growing up and learning more about myself. I pray that as we get older, the friendship will only gets better. And I pray that you'll live the life you want to live, and be happy with everything you do. Life is short, so don't waste time to worry or regret things of the past. I love you very much, and I pray for everything good to come your way. God bless you mightily.


Dear Marcus,
It is so awesome knowing you! Thank God that he placed you in my life. =]
First and foremost, thanks for introducing crunchyroll, the IT idiot in me would have never been able to discover the goodness of Internet by myself. By the way, thanks to you for starting the ball rolling, letting me get in touch in anime, letting me know and learn a lot of Japan, discovering that I really liked it and caused me to join TPJCG in poly and had so much fun. And of course, if not for you, I wouldn't know about one piece and chopper. Well, I would probably know it one way or another, but thank you for starting this interest of mine. ^^ and I just realised that I was first hooked to church because the person who out reached to me is an otaku too... Haha... I guess I got one more thing to thank you for indirectly making such a big impact in my life. Also, a big thank you for being a great brother. Really want to affirm you for your thoughtfulness, sensitivity and always not forgetting to be inclusive of others that are not in the circle. Thanks for your encouragements, comfort and concern during the few years in school together. You are someone who is very comfortable to talk to, and it is really a blessing to be your friend. I pray the God will keep your relationships strong with you and your loved ones, and that He'll pour so much blessings onto you that it will over flow to the people around you as well. God bless you.


Dear Zheng Yuan,
Thank God for you and your spirit of sharing. I am really blessed by you. Thank you for sharing about one piece stuff, about their events and poster. Great to have a friend to talk about one piece together^^ Thank you for always welcoming us to your house to do nails, and the stuff you have blessed us with. Thank you for going new places, and trying new things together. Thank you for your amazing and adventurous company. It is really fun hanging out with you. Thank you for not minding our tendency of weirdness and thank you for being a great friend since long ago. Thank you so much and Thank God for you! I pray that whatever you have in mind to do, you'll do it, with great success. May God protect you and help you in the challenges you face, God bless you.


Dear En Hao
Do you still remember the star shaped keychain ring I asked you to help me make? You gave me a keychain along with it too. "God is with you."
I thank God for you. The subtle reminders that god had never gave up on me since long before I even know him, and without me knowing, he is always looking out for me.
Little messenger of god, Thank you and I pray for all the best to you.
God bless you.
PS. I don't know what happened to you but I can tell you that God have not given up on you, He will fight back for you.


Ms Stephanie choo
Thank God for letting me meet a teacher like you. Not sure if you remember, I have always been very bad at studying, including Social studies which you had taught our class. And there was once when I scored extremely badly for a class test, I think I didn't remember there was a test and I didn't study at all. So when you were giving us back the marked papers, you told me to go find you during recess time. You probably have no idea how freaked out I was. I was really scared, because you seems to be really mad. And when I went to find you during lunch, you didn't blow off the top but seated us down at the macdonals tables and chairs to have a talk. I haven't got a teacher who cared enough to discuss with me why my studies were so bad and I really thank God for you that you have shown this much care and concern. Thank you for being so patient too. Ever since then, I would write notes for most of my subjects, and thank you for helping me realised how much I like writing. I couldn't thank you enough! I pray that God bless you and your family, and the students under you.


Dear Mrs Lynn Teo,
Thank you for believing in me that I can become a student councillor, it means a lot to me. I think that was the first time that I experienced some form of responsibility and acknowledgement from the outside. And feel that there's something that even I, who had terrible grades and was not serious about studying, can do. Joining the second in year 2, it was also the first time that I experience it in person and learnt that it wasn't too late to do what you want to do, better too late than never.
Though the time was short, it was fun and fruitful. I'm secretly very proud of my council badge.
Even after we had graduated and moved on, thank you for your care and concern. Thank you for your help. Thank you for worrying about me, though I am really sorry to have imposed on you.
Really glad to have met a teacher like you. And I pray that your feelings for your students each and every year will pass through. God bless you and your family.

Dear Yanning,
It is great seeing you once again. Really brought back lots of fun and good memories. Like when we were younger, everyday is filled with songs, music and laughter. And whenever I heard the 'someday my prince will come' song, I'll think of you. haha... Growing up is fun, and thank you for playing a part in my childhood. And when you saw me again, thank you for remembering me. Thank you for introducing me to what you are doing. Thank you for all the time and effort in making it work, and I'm really sorry that it didn't. But I pray that you will become successful no matter what you do. Just want you to know that I appreciate you a lot. God bless you and your family.


Dear Qi en,
Sorry for not keeping in contact. I sincerely hope that you are doing well.
I never had the proper chance to talk to you after we graduated, went our separate ways and caught up with our increasingly busy life. I really hope that you are doing well.
I also never had the chance to apologise and thank you.
I'm sorry for all the teasing, always pairing you up with one of the guys. Yet, thank you for staying friends with us despite all the teasing. I was so young and insensitive, don't remember what I said but it couldn't be good. I'm really sorry.
Also, not sure if I had already thank you properly, but I thank you again. There was once when I slipped on the sand outside the school gates, and I got a very bad and bloody knees. No one was at home. I didn't what to do and it hurts like hell, I was crying like mad.
Thank you for bringing me to your house and fixing my knees up. Thank you for handling my tears and my wounds. Thank you for being my friend and all the fun we had, singing, joking, playing together. I pray that whatever you are doing, you'll find joy and be happy.
God bless you.


Dear Winnie,
Apologise for not keeping in contact, i trust that you are doing well. =] Hope that your mother is well too.
Thank you for being part of my childhood. Recently, I keep remembering of your help. The first fateful day that marks a girl puberty. Lol! I still can imagine the shock and the only one at home was my brother, so couldn't have asked him. When I finally realised that i dont know how to help myself, i called you. You told me to wait for you and said that you are coming over immediately. Thank you for being such a great friend who would not hesitating to lend a helping hand. Although the younger me is very self centred, and often in my own world, thank you for beings friends with me.
I pray that you will find peace and rest within your busy work life, may God keep you protected and safe. All the best to you. God bless you and your family. Thank God for your mother too.


Dear Pei juan,
Sorry for not staying in touch. I pray that you are doing well.
Thank you for your hospitality, always inviting us over to your house and have lunch. Not sure if you knew, but I have always looked up to you. Probably because you mature faster than most of the girls, but that wasn't the only reason. I really like your sense of humour and your relationship with your friends. Still remember that time when Vanessa changed class and I saw how sadden you were, and I though that wow, you are a really sincere and great friend. And even now, your relationship with Winnie makes me very happy that you guys have been friends for so long. =] I pray that you are happy, finding joy in everything you do, and answers to your worries will find their way to you.
God bless you.


Dear Vivian,
Thank you and thank God for you and your gentle spirit. I'm glad that I am able to see how you are doing through facebook (I didn't stalk you, it just happened to always be on my newsfeed =] ) and really glad that you are doing well. Sorry that I haven't got the chance to thank you properly, for the little dog. Not sure if you remember, but you and YanNing gave it to me for my birthday after we graduated from East Spring and we were in our own secondary schools. Still trying to adapt in a new place with new people and it was a really struggling period. At that time I was really touched and comforted, thank you for remembering me. Thank God for you and Yanning all these time. I pray that through the tough times, you will remember that you are not alone, that there are many around you who cares a lot for you. God bless you with abundant joy in all that you do.


Dear Emerson,
Thanks for understanding me as much as you did. Thanks for the monkey training session at the multi purpose hall. = = Thanks for the phone calls everyday after school, though I had no ideal what we were talking about... I think there were times that both of us had nothing to say but still kept the line. Thank god for your presence, being at home alone isn't boring and it didn't feel lonely. Thank you for occupying much of my time in most of my after school memories. Btw, I think that this is the root of why I didn't have the habit of doing homework, up till even in poly. Haha... Thanks for being an awesome friend and crush, and spending so much time with me! Thank god for you for making my primary school days fun.
I pray that no matter what you do, you'll not forget to find joy, even in the most tiresome or boring task.
All the best and god bless you.


Dear Hulbert,
A surprising fact; you are my primary school friend whom I've got the most contact with. I mean I seems to see you everywhere. Hahaha...
Thank God for you, for popping out here and there and not acting like you don't know this weird person. =] Like that time at Vivo, it's really weird cause I was there alone, and it felt like God sent you so that I can have company for lunch haha.. T-T Thank you for being my friend!!
I pray that you'll have a smooth sailing in life and what you want to do. God bless you.


Dear Jun hong,
Thank you for your presence when we were in school, even when I'm always trying to pick fights with you. Thank for your presence when you were in your secondary school, I'm thanking you for being there with Joycelyn, because I'm sure she had enjoyed your friendship as much as I have. Thank God for you.


Dear Ee fan,
Thank you for sharing your stories and what you know. It was one of my favourite memories when we have a gathering. =] Thank you for lending me the Hillary Duff CDs and the fights in the school canteen, it was very fun. haha... So funny now that I think about it. Thanks for being friends with me. Thank God for you. I pray you you'll be safe and healthy, and troubles will stay away from you. God bless you.


Dear Ying Yi,
How have you been doing? ^^
I hope that you are doing well.
To me, you were always one who don't bear grudges, thank you for mot staying angry and forgiving us even though we have teased you a little too much and giving you a ridiculous nickname. Haha. Still remember there was once when you tied your hair in a flipped in pony tail, and there I was, sitting behind you, trying to see how much cut up erasers I can stuff into the pony tail... = = that's one of my favourite memories of school though. Thank you for all the fun we had, glad to have been friends with you. I pray that you'll be happy always and not focusing on the insecurities of the future. God bless you =]

Raindrop keep fallin' on my head

Raining rainbow hearts.
Spreading happy love from a height.
Isn't it cute?
My boss is involved in this volunteer group of aunties and uncles, they sing and dance to the old folks and children all around Singapore. 
They are called 彩虹歌舞团, which literally means 'Rainbow sing and dance group'.
Thus the theme for this logo.


God bless.

My silent protest

I am a Christ follower.

I only have one God and His name is Jesus.

He died for my sins, He forgave all wrong I did, He watch over me every day, He listens to me and help with all my worries, He made so many promises to me that we all know He'll keep, He said He has great plans for me and I believe Him. And He gave me new life. As if it wasn't enough, he gave me an eternal life.

My God is a good God.
And He will be my only God.
My heart and soul belongs to Him alone.

No matter how many joss sticks you make me hold, and no matter how many Chinese scriptures you make me read, it will not change the fact that I believe in my God only. These acts will not make me stray away from my God.

In fact, you have just reminded me again that I belong to the creator.

I don't know what has blinded you from seeing my faith and the changes in me all along, but I pray there will come a day when all that I do, I do it for God. All of my body and actions and will, will be for His glory. And when the time comes, I pray that you will not think that God robbed you of your daughter. Because the truth is, God just gave you a better me.

My God is good, I pray that you can see it too.

God bless.
