Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor US comedian & singer (1892 - 1964)

I found this when i was looking for a quote for my gp essay question on slowing down in life instead of speeding it up. Somehow, i got a revelation while doing this essay and through this quote. I find it really meaningful. I just thought of how everyone is just moving so fast in life and as a result, neglect their loved ones and the scenery in life. As we are constantly moving fast in life, we tend to take the people around us for granted. When was the last time you greet your parents good morning or good night? When was the last time we spend the whole day to prepare a surprise for our family members? When was the last time you actually spent hours on the phone with your close friends? I guess hardly anyone can afford to do that now. As i was reading the quote, i felt God speaking to me and everything just click. As we are moving so fast in life, are we still able to slow down and give him the best time of each day to just spend time with Him. Like the quote says, if we fail to do it, we'll not only miss His presence by going too fast, soon, we will find ourselves missing the sense of where we are going and why. We will lose the purpose of whatever we are doing now. This applies as we are busy in the kingdom of God. Admist all the busyness, we still need to spend time with Him and constantly hearing from Him and that's when we will be assured of where we are going in God and why we are doing the things we are doing. All for His glory:)

yay, how cool is that:) haha. Okay, now i have to complete the other half of my essay :(

Easter services was awesome and the harvest was indeed plentiful :) All the plannings and administration till late into the night was worth it. It's great working with the leaders and i felt that there was really teamwork. We were just helping out with each other's teams and all the new friends. There's more to come and i'm excited!:D Sabrina joined us this Easter too and i'm just so happy. Now, there're four of us in TPJC and i believe more will come. Truly, God's promise never fails:) The water baptism service was great too. I really want to be water baptised with my family. That will be the happiest thing that can ever happen. I'm still praying. And i know God hears my prayers. This mother's day, something good is going to happen :D

So many things happened these few days! There're so many things i want to blog about but I'm just tooo tired to type them out. But i totally love my life :) Of course, there will be times when i just feel discouraged and unhappy and frustrated, I know that God and my family and friends are always with me and I am contented :) I believe that there is more in life. Things are going to get better :) Whenever something bad happens, i will tell myself to guard my heart. It kind of remind me not to sink deeper in.

Last 3 days, i had been home late at night or even midnight and went out of house in the early noon. I really miss my parents and my brother who just came back from laos two days back. haha. At least, i managed to spend time at home with them now:) Saturday, John went off to army and we went to send him. I thank God im a girl and i dont have to go army :D It's kind of scary:( That reminds me that my brother is going army soon :( Hai. Yesterrday was another exciting day. Had hq in church from 1 - 6 and headed to marina square to meet my cousins for kbox buffet! I really love to spend time with them because i can just put aside all my worries and burdens and just have a crazy and fun time with them! We sang and sang and ate and ate. And we were totally crazy about Love Story. haha. The guys were screaming and screaming into the mic. Its kind of irritating to have guys joining in for kbox. Haha. The funniest part of the whole outing was after we left kbox.

As quoted from weiwei's blog,
"the funniest thing was when we were going home! the whole marina sq was deserted already since we left at 1030. so we were sinigng love story out loud in the center of the mall. and there was this gay couple infront of us! so cool! they were westerners and were holding hands! gosh! and so we were walking towards the same direction as them and it was like:

Us: (out loud) Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run, You'll be the prince and i'll be the princess.."
Gay guy: (super high pitched) Its a love story. baby just say yes... *chuckles*"

HAHA. This was super funny. It makes my hair stands. I still can remember the smile of the gay guy. And they were holding hands happily as they swayed till high. damn funny. haha weiwei's blog always makes it sound so funny. http://wxcrossedwx.blogspot.com/

haha. I really love my life. Even in school, i still enjoy the time spent with huishi cheryl jiamin and all others. Huishi and me always laugh at izza for always seems to appear so stress and we'll keep singing all the 90s pop songs by westlife and backstreet boys. I think God really planned for all these, putting me where i am now. i thank God for all His wonderful plans. Im really contented but im never satisfied.

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my heart to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
