Fellowship of the ring 29 Apr 09

The fellowship of the rings....

It was S-Day, Shitenrella had only one shoe....

Indeed! It was a S-Day for me!!! =( Sunday, more like Sh!t day. And definitely gotta to do with the letter "S"

*swears* #%&#&^#%&%^*

*grumble*

SUNDAY - SABBATH

Ahh..i love sundays, woke up in time for Rachel Ray's then Food 911, then Rachel Ray's travel, showered, prepared my bag for service. Wooohoooo! Going to take a train to church today.

Have to withdraw money for the week's expenses so decided to try out my Citibank ATM card at Khatib Mrt

SHITTY-BANK card-swallowing machine

Happily going to the atm machine hoping to draw out some cash for the week. Slotted the card into the machine and realised something was wrong. How come it doesnt feel like a feeder, when i pushed the card in softly, it went "falling into the slot" like rubbish into rubbish bin. Weird. Dont think machine "take in" card like that, feels like pushing a mail into the mailing box. And ms hair has her bimbo moments too. *grumble* thinking maybe Citibank's atm machines are maybe high-tech machine which prolly scan the card and the card will be dispense out again.

NO LOR!!! Bimbo Hair was waiting for the screen to flash "PLEASE ENTER YOUR PIN NUMBER". That screen didnt happened and that is the time i realised OMG!!! the machine is faulty!!! And you know what?n There are 2 guys (Singhs) who were behind me all the time and their card was also "eaten" by the machine!!! And wat the hell?! They juz stood there looking at me pushing my shittybank card into the shittybank atm machine. @%^%&^%&#&#$%. Warrau eh...they can at least tell me the machine is faulty right!!!

Well, going to be late for service. So i gave up trying to figure out wat the machine was up to. And worse...i couldnt find any contact numbers there so i called any number reflected on the promotional flyers and had my card cancelled, bitched about the stupid machine and request them to send me my shittybank card in 3 days. They heng hor. It's sunday, im going for service, its sabbath, dont wanna get too upset or bitchy with them.

So i rushed up to the platform and catch the train to braddel

Shitenrella and her one Shoe

So, bimbo hair reached braddel station and was walking to the busstop for feeder bus when she realised her shoe felt weird. I looked at it and realised the sole was coming OFFFF!!! Freak Fish. Why must it be NOW?!!!!

It wasnt like crocodile okie...it was like a CLAM!! It opened up sideways and when i lifted my foot it was like hanging on the brim

FINE. wat else can GO WRONG!!! FINE! So after a little struggle, i decided to take the cab to toa payoh central to save my poor foot. So Shitenrella yanked out the whole sole in the cab and then walked like Fu Hong Xue to the shops. No shops were open yet except those little carts. SPOTTED one that sell cheap shoes. S$8!!! Im so buying it. Thank God it wasnt too ugly. It was a bronze covered flats with a girly bow in front. Bought it, wore it, and threw the old pair straightaway. Caught a cab and went back to church. Cool. I did all these in 10 minutes, from braddel to toa payoh to buying that shoe to taking cab back to church.

Service & Sermon (The SALT & Light)

Finally, there is at least an "S" that made me happy. Service.

Naturally I missed out worship totally coz of all that frenzy that happened in the last hour.

Today's sermon was great. "I'm the Salt and light" Fantastic. Talking about us being the salt, giving flavour aka being the people who demonstrates God's glory to the people around us, etc. After Service, went to the market to have lunch with Sarah and some small chat before she has to attend the Chiangmai mission trip briefing. So i took the train again heading to Grumpy's. yippie!! At least something happy. It was going to rain, so Grumpy came to the train stn to pick me.

Stupidity

Just as I thought my sh!tty day was over................bimbo hair tripped in the bathroom and my big toe was smashed into divider for the shower room. Bimbo Hair ended up with bruised big toe and a crack in my nail.

Painful of coz. Grumpy laughed at me. Hmmp.

Okie...not ended yet okie...........then i tried to keep the laundry into Grumpy's wardrobe. As i opened the wardrobe door, COLLISION HAPPENED. the door had a big brush with my pinky toe. SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB

WAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAME FOOT ALL THE WHILE

The best part was today's saga revolved around my RIGHT FOOOT!!! The shoe on the right foot retired...then i hit my right toe in the bathroom, then clipped my right pinky toe against the wardrobe.

I tell you. ENUFF is ENUFF. sobsobsobsobsobsosbsobsobsob.

OH...and in mandarin we call it: "S" is FOR "SUAY"

Let me try to end this blog with a happy "S" then.

Grumpy was very "SWEEET" today.

Sweet. Cool.

~chubs still sian~

New Creation, New Life with Grace

11 April 2009: The day between Good Friday & Easter Sunday. The day my saviour took my worry and have it crucified along with himself at calvary, 2000 yrs ago. Today, my old self followed Him to calvary. I shall be ressurected as a new creation tomorrow (Easter Sunday)

Kneeling in the pool, Pastor asked if I will follow Christ all my life from now on. Yes, I do.

How did I felt? GOOOOOOOD =D

I testified on how the Lord preserved my life...those of you who were at the baptism will know the full story. Was really happy coz my parents, grumpy zac, aunt, sister, childhood frens, my cousin and ah bil, and Kevin, Thomas, Maxime, Jo, Nana, Ah Di and the rest of the Petrans turned up to witness my big day........Merci bcp to all of you! hugz

And thank you for all your sweet gifts! Happy Birthday Grace =)

And with this song, I give me to You.

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won

For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I’ll overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone do I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed

And only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor in just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses to the glory of my Lord

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

A date with grumpy

Yes, im out on a date....with grumpy!

I am an advocate of dating, no matter how long your partner and you are together, always make an effort to date each other (*hint - boys, especially you people! haha. Did you guys forgotten how to invite your gf out on a date like when you guys first started out?)

More often than not, couples get too comfortable with each other's presence and meeting each other somehow accidentally ended up feeling habitual (not in a extreme way of coz). Though we meet up with each other almost everyday if not every other day - be it dropping each other place's for dinner, or juz chill during weekends, etc. I realised....HEY! You havent asked me out for a movie date for so long............



Well, sorry baby, you have a hopelessly romantic libran for a gf who like FIREWORKS in relationship. haha. Not that im being the insensitive, tantrum-throwing-princess-bo-liao gf, but it is really impt to have that "butterflies in your tummy" kinda feeling. Renew that fire, renew that sweet moments and look forward to each dates. It helps in strengthening the relationship and inject new fun too. My parents are still dating, they go out for shopping, dinners, strolls at botanical gardens and some other gardens/ parks/ reserves that I don even know existed in Singapore. See, thats fun! =)

So grumpy did date me out for a movie. hehe. nice grumpy isnt he? (I want to squuuueeezzze your face!) =)

I made dinner in return, hehe. oops, it ended up a lil heavier in taste coz it was SUCH a huge wok of vermicelli that i cooked so, i mis-cue on the flavouring. oops. but it was fun

I decided not to post the photo of the vermicelli, coz it doesnt look pretty at all. But when I was busy with the cooking, i spotted a HUGE LIZARD ON THE FLOOR!!!!

Grumpy and me watched "Confessions of a shopaholic". Chick Flick, thank God Grumpy is okie with chick flick. Was really a hilarious show, was sweet too. Grumpy said it was too fictional, well baby...it is chick flick! it has to be fictional =P

It was fun tonite, thank you grumpy. Definitely look forward to the next date. Wei...my water baptism and easter sunday dont count. haha. Maybe some nice under-the-stars picnic.

We did so that other night. It was fun. Grumpy had a full day course in school and then an evening course at esplanade so he didnt had time for dinner, so i brought him some dinner-bento home-cooked okie....and sat by the esplanade for some nice quiet meal.

Nice wasnt it? Backdrop of skyliners, breezy promenade with 爱心dinner =)

till the next day. I have mine, when's yours?

GOOOOOOO.....go out on a date! doesnt mean only with your partner. Do so for fellowship too, it will be fun!
