FEBRUARY 2008

Chinese New Year has come and gone... I realised that the older you get, the less red packets you receive...or rather, the less amount in them! (on account of you being older/working) Please, we could do with some money too before it's OUR turn to dole them out :P If I can get away with it, I'll stay away during Chinese New Year (when I'm married lah) I'll just give them to the important ones like elders and then conveniently fly off somewhere hehe how stingy is that?! ORRRRR! I can insist that I'm not REALLY Chinese and so I don't REALLY give red packets...
whatcha think?? :) Terrible, I know!

Besides that, February has been much of a whirlwind, with all my tuition classes in full swing, and work is still work, nothing new there. Jocelyn has left (I miss you Mei!) and lots of stuff happening around me, personal and non-personal. Two months into the year and I am already on the brink of exhaustion...I am in much need of a good rest...and some quality retail therapy and self pampering (I just LOVE being a girl!) Met up with Suraina and Sharon during CNY...a good session of just catching up and getting excited about upcoming nuptials..and Ches and I met Ting today with her boyf at CB. Good catch up sessions are always a smile-bringer *big big smile*

Been in a dry spell lately as well. Finding the motivation to do things is very hard, I have to keep pumping myself to get excited and get moving. At times like this I do feel alone sometimes, and I can be very hard on myself. But I know God is still with me, and He still continues to teach me things daily. Though I may not see it there and then, but looking back I do see His hand in all that has happened around me. It's a lot about humility, and about trusting not in my own capabilities but in the full measure of His love and His assurance that He will watch over me. So many questions, and it seems like there's so few answers..and sometimes none at all. It can be very frustrating and I have to keep reminding myself to trust Him and believe that He has my best interests at heart.

My mental mantra at this time? "JIA YOU!" hehe
I CAN DO IT BECAUSE OF HIM(Phil 4:13)

Hope you guys have had a GREAT Chinese New Year, and that March will be a month of new, exciting experiences and a FRESH encounter with God! Amen!

Love
