Happy Birthday Singapore

small island that has made it thus far.


and really, thank God for all the blessings to this little fishing village, though i very much wanted it to still be a fishing village.
whole day catch fish, cycle, row boat, cook, eat sleep.
naise.


major whacked all the singapore food today. hahhas.
so much for wanting to loose weight for graduation/ family photo and all. hahas






made it for a 9.30 mission trng this morng.
really almost gave up. hahas. but, congrats.
i did it. hahas.
yea, i've decided to make a commitment and i think i should be disciplined about it.




thought its just 2 days (and counting) that i've been back in church, i could sense some difference in me alrdy.
maybe its just a psychological stunt or really God working in me, but whatever it is, i think its time i dont allow the world to engulf my identity, turning myself into someone i can't even trust or be positive about.




i just want me to be happy, so others around me to be happy and God to be happpy.
i dont and shouldn't care whatever ppl think of me because so long i've not let myself down, i should be fine. (:
cheers to a happier and more positive poony ahead.

me, and myself.

honestly.
sometimes i can't stand myself.
like how i'm so insecure of myself, and being so sensitive over how ppl think i'm confident of myself.
hahas. does that make sense?


sometimes i really want to run away.
but to where?


i'm just so afraid of ppl.
like one day, all these negative ppl will just cloud my conscience, making me loose my identity.


i've kinda made a decision and really made it to church last sunday morng.
10am service, i woke up at 9.55am, to face a rainy day.
but literally against all the odds, i made it to church at 10.15am, wet, cold and sniffy. the airconditioners had to break down, but amen to that; wasn't suffering in the the cold that much.
oh wells.
if i really wanna commit myself to mission end of the month, i've got to do something about my walk and my life.


i need a change


i just need to find myself and start being proud of who i am, give my best unto God and that's all that matter.

ppged

looking though photos.






amazing how 1 yr can change so much.
how people can get just live with assumptions and continually start truly believing in their self created ideologies.
but oh wells. good to keep good memories right.
and i should just live it as just as that.



somethings are just good to let go and not let it emotionally suck u dry. (:









well, those were, the happier days.
let this be the final closing note to everything i guess. (:
