This touches my heart, hope it does to you as well:)
Do read to the end.. Guaranteed No regrets!
THE GREATEST ADVICE -Rick Warren, the Purpose Driven Life Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat.
Don't lie.
Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past.
Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that trip.
Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid.
Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old.
Just grow YOU!
When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life.
That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

ASIA CONFERENCE was simply AWESOME!
except the tornado experience while queueing. BUT.. it's all worth it:)
Love the electives I went for.. Effective Church Planting and Missions, Art of Worship Leading, Social Etiquette and Personal Grooming, Effective Counselling and Coping of Depression. They help me to gain insights of the skills that I believe will help me in the near future. I so wanna do Humanitarian Work!
Just a small lil testimony..
On the first day of AC my right eye was red due to wearing of contacts, on the second day after Pst Ulf's prayer, my eye was healed! :) PTL!
The services I went was Session 3 by Pst Ulf, Session 4 by Pst Ulf, Session 10 by Rev A.R. Benard and serving for Session 1 by Pst Kong and Session 9 by Pst Phil.
The sessions speak of
boldness in engaging the marketplace.
God gave us different talents and abilities to engage our own marketplace, however, it is not so that we could isolate ourselves from relationship with others, the Holy Spirit as well as our spirital disciplines.
On our own, we usually get weary and tired easily and even less motivated to serve others using our talents. Our hearts are willing, but most of the time our flesh is weak. We need to constantly renew our minds and build our faith. Work things out of revelation and not information -circumstances or even our own limited mindset.
At times, it takes us to make sacrificial decisions to obey the voice of the Holy spirit. It's our choice to step out of our comfort zones, lift the doubts up to God and believe for a breakthrough or just sit there and do nothing.
God is our Abba father, just like our natural father, He will protect us and would not put us to danger. He is not afraid of sending us to the marketplace as He has sent Jesus to die for us and has insulated us from the evil one!
No glory unto self, but ALL unto God.
Stand on His promises, God doesn't lie.
THINK, VISUALISE, BELIEVE, CONFESS.
We ACT upon love, be salt and light to that culture.
Transform a person and a place will be transformed.

Dance? Me?
You've got the wrong person.
How could this be possible?
Then You gave me this vision,
And said, "Go ahead,
there's no need to fear,
I'm here always and forever".
How could this be real?
I've never done this before.
I can't believe I can ever do it.
You said, "Trust me. I'll bring you through.
Rain or shine."
How could I be the one performing?
I can't even be confident enough on stage.
I don't even have the techniques or groove
or the skill to reach that level.
I'll never reach there. Never.
But You said, "Leave it all to me. Enjoy yourself."
I've never thought I could go this far.
If not for You, and all of them,
whom You gave to me,
It would be an impossible dream.
It's a joy of dancing with You and them:)
Thank You,
My Abba Father.

The white studio really brought back lots of memories...
Had my very first dance class there~
Today's class with Xue Hui was ABSOLUTELY DOPE.
Although I didn't catch the steps 100% right, I'm quite proud to say tt at least I've got 50%.
Not that I've have low expectations of myself, it's that I know that in the past, when I can't catch the steps I would stress up and forget even more steps.
HAHA!!! I was quite stun at what I could do, using my muscles to remember to steps.
Then, all in my mind was thinking of enjoying the dance:)
Amazed at the power of prayer.
Yea.. A breakthrough is coming.
SO EXCITED!!!!
Oh ya! And I forgot the BOMBED celebration plan.. HAHA!!! Ooops XP
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM!!!

Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.
These intelligences are:
Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
How are you smart?
http://literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html
Score (5.0 is highest)
Your top three intelligences:
Intrapersonal: 4.57
You like to develop ideas and learn from other people. You like to talk. You have good social skills. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your social intelligence include taking part in group discussions or discussing a topic one-to-one with another person.
Interpersonal: 4.29
You have a very good sense of self. You like to spend time by yourself and think things over. You will often take in information from another person, mull it over by yourself, and come back to that person later to discuss it. You like working on projects on your own. You often prefer to learn by trial and error. Effective techniques to enhance your learning include keeping a journal and giving yourself time to reflect on new ideas and information.
Logical-mathematical: 4.29
You enjoy exploring how things are related, and you like to understand how things work. You like mathematical concepts, puzzles and manipulative games. You are good at critical thinking.
The scores for your other five intelligences:
Bodily Kinestatic: 4
Muscial: 3.71
Nautralist: 2.86
Linguistic: 2.71
Visual Spacial: 2.71
Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t mean you’re not strong in them. If your average score for any intelligence is above three, you’re probably using that intelligence quite often to help you learn.

The DISC Personality behavioral model explores one's behavior style based on their personality and the situations one finds themselves in. DiSC® Classic is a nonjudgmental assessment developed through research and repeated validation with the purpose of helping people with the skills to their and others' understanding behavioral styles and personality types.
DiSC uses a four quadrant model that looks at your primary dimensions:
Dominance: Direct and Decisive. These people tend to be independent and results driven. They are strong-willed people who enjoy challenges, taking action, and immediate results. The bottom line is their focus tends to be on the bottom line and results.
Influence: Outgoing and Optimistic. These individuals tend to be very social and out going. They prefer participating on teams, sharing thoughts, and entertaining and energizing others.
Steadiness: Stability and Status Quo. These people tend to be your team players and are supportive, cooperative and helpful to others. They prefer being behind the scene, working in consistent and predictable ways. They are often good listeners and avoid change and conflict
Conscientiousness: Cautious. These people are often focused on details and quality. They plan ahead, constantly check for accuracy, and what to know "how" and "why".More info:

My Score:

I-32
S-32
C-8

It's been years since my family really had such a great fmaily dinner (except like CNY once a year?)
We went ICHIBAN SUSHI Causeway point:)
Food was superb!!! So hungry that I din take any pic of the food!
Haha!!!
It's like the first time I saw my papa and mama so loving! Hold hands somemore!
And I took a dupid photo with my bro who refused to take one with me due to his ugly hair but was convinced due to my service of helping him with wasabi plus soya sauce!
Moreover, we already plan to have such gatherings like once a month (cos we spent like $100 over on this meal!) Madness! But we've got $30 voucher:) So still not too bad.
Also, I realised my nonsensical personality is genetic! From my mum! We could actually think of climbing the gates of SK pri school so tt we can shortcut home! Great minds think alike! LOL! Dumb la mama!!!!
I really thank God for reconciling my family! I feel so blessed and loved:)
God is indeed our ABBA father, JEHOVAH JIREH.
