here we are.

i once read an interesting article from someone's blog
it's a breathtaking truth, so take a look (:

our earth.

seems pretty large here right?

complete solar system. you can still see earth here.

but outside the solar system, the third brightest star in the milky way, is Arcturus.

no more sun.

lastly, a picture of our solar system, the pale blue dot u see, is earth.

if u look at it that way, the earth is just a tiny speck of dust suspended in the universe

so insignificant.

yet on it, is everyone u know, everyone u love, every creation of The Almighty.

the whole universe is in the palm of His hands.

now, imagine the size of His hands.

:D

gratitude

my independent days are just beginning

with christmas coming soon, i'm all perked up!

gear up for more spiritual battles, this time we've grown, we're gonna be different :)

our MIF christmas celebration's tomorrow

prayed so hard for it and for our friends that are going to attend

it seemed like our hopes were shattered at first with all the declined invitations because of many barriers

but now.. hehehehe.

let's just say, God is good.

after all that, more piano music's gonna be played around the house

(and my hopes for a new dslr oh whee~)

let's celebrate, and experience a different Christmas this year (;

there is only Him, and i'm grateful for that (:

He is a tender God
He doesn't rush
doesn't scold
doesn't force
He uses love.
Never pushing us to make a choice,
but He speaks to us with His gentle voice.
How much greater can He be?

covered by His tenderness.
Thanks, Dad :')

" The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. " Psalms 116:5

Nicole Nordeman - I am

Pencil marks on a wall 

I wasn't always this tall, 

You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed, 

You watched my team win, 

You watched my team lose, 

You watched when my bicycle went down again,

And When I was weak unable to speak, 

still I could call You by name, 

and I said “Elbow healer, Superhero,come if You can,” 

and You said “I am”

Only 16, life is so mean, what kind of curfew is at ten PM 

You saw my mistakes, You watched my heart break 

Heard when I swore I’d never love again

When I was weak, unable to speak, 

still I could call You by name, 

and I said “Heart-ache Healer, Secret-keeper, be my Best Friend” 

and You said “I am”

You saw me wear white, by pale candlelight,

I said forever to what lies ahead 

two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream 

too much it might seem when it’s two AM

when I am weak, unable to speak, 

still I will call You by name. 

“Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-maker, hold on to my hand,” 

and You say “I am.”

The winds of change, 

And circumstance blow in and all around

us so we find a foothold that’s familiar, 

And bless the moments that we feel You nearer 

Life had begun, I was woven and spun,

You let the angels dance around the throne, who can say when, 

But they’ll dance again, when I am free and finally headed home.

I will be weak, unable to speak, 

still I will call You by name 

“Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer,

Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer,

Lord and King, Beginning and the End,

 I am, yes, I am.”

-

a song that touches and still moves me each and every time i hear it

the lyrics are meaningfully written

i believe everyone can relate to them

He is there, in your failures and mistakes,

and He is already everything we could ever ask for

:)

on your special day :)

10th of Dec 2010

It was Aileen's birthday.
our spiritual mother, we call her.
after going through the planning and whispering and sneaking around
and praying that she didn't notice our peculiar behaviours
we pulled off our surprise birthday party with flying colours hahaha ;)

The plan we told her was :
Four of us - Aileen, Pui Leng, Pui Theng & me - were the only ones having dinner at Bay Leaf with her that night.
SHE suggested all of the mif's went to TC to gather together afterwards.
so we pretendingly informed everyone about it and everyone was CONVENIENTLY not free that night.
wow xD
it disappointed her a lot though wahaha :p

our real plan?
the whole family of KCMIF surprise her at Bay Leaf with a birthday cake.
yeah, that simple xD

 "Faster light up the candles~"

"EVERYONE! SSSHHHHHHHH"

ahahaha, the expression on their faces xD

prepared and started towards the doors

we spotted their table, and....

1,2,3!

"Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,..."

she was in complete shock,

and started crying and laughing and wiping and cursing

well the cursing part is actually just:"You guys are crazy, man."

:D

 

no photos for proof of the cry fest

but her make up was really smudged. haha.

no worries, u still looked great!

she didn't suspect a thing

she believed every thing we told her

and we truly surprised her by doing this

*bangga*

we're such good actors xDD

now, let the pictures do the talking!

 my favourite picture x)

 

 Time for presents :D

 

a beautiful evening

with one big happy family :D

if i had the courage.

speaking the truth is always the best solution
but sometimes the truth can hurt.
it may not always be easy to swallow.
sometimes people just gotta read between the lines
and take it from there.

you should know what to do then.
i pray that we all do.
(:

still waiting for snow.

*stretches*
i'm finally out of hibernation.
awoken from a looong nap.
and am so glad it's finally over.
out the cave, to taste the sweet first smell of spring.
yet i'm waiting for it to snow.
'cause.... IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN!

..& i have a feeling it's gonna be a superrrrb one 8)
stay tuned! will be updating lots of things with piles of photos to share.
weehehehehehe~

I'd do it for love :)
