Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

my brother came home from bangkok last night.
he totally went on a shopping spree manz!
he bought a lot of things, A LOT!!!!
and he bought 2 t-shirts and a dress and a flora handbag for me!!!!
yay-ness!!! Thankew brother! =)

about "saying what's honest" issue..
people just want to hear what is pleasing aint it so???
what if i am honest?
can relationships between people still be as smooth as they were?
i dont know you know...

nowadays im so emotionless(as in the soul not the shell),esp during car and bus rides or on the train.
im so free that im doing a lot of reading and thinking.
issues that never occur to me before now sprout in my mind
it keeps my mind working but i dont know what is it going to do to my heart.
is something wrong with me? its as if im so....WEIRD.

and im getting fat. i hate that.
i hate long holidays and no work and no school.
cos i eat and rot at home and get fat like nobody's business.
i hope school starts soon, stress and work and workshops this way comes,
and i'll slim down.
and i want to start some dance and exercise in order to slim down.
by end of my 2nd year in poly, i must REALLY slim down
so that when i go to China,Zhejiang in my 3rd year i can fit in the cheongsam there.
heehee!!! good good...muahahahaha!!!
;)

im did some thinking.
im starting to wonder who i really am.
i mean, yar, i know im amanda, a child of God etc etc.
but who really am i inside??
there's so much aspects of a person, which one is the real me?
i appear different to different people under different circumstances,
does it mean that i'm faking?? or hypocritical?
i really dont know u know.
i want to write something real, whether good or bad, hate or love.
i just want my writing to be real, to be me.
will i be able to do that?
and at the same time be what others want me to be?
and also be what Father wants me to be?
it's messy.
ignore my ranting.
i'll continue to meditate.

yeah yeah i know i owe my readers a post on the explanation of my visions.
well, go read proverbs 28:1.
the righteous shall be as bold as the lion.
i told you guys i faced persecutions from my loved ones right...?
but still i made a stand for Jesus.
making a stand for Jesus and going against the ways of the world will land me in a war with the devil.
i need boldness and courage to fight this war.
as for the arch, sweetie says in ancient Rome, rulers will give permission to the army who won a battle to build an arch as a symbol of victory.
well, it may be saying ultimate victory we'll get after battling with the devil.
pastor mark says he honestly have no idea how to interpret, but it could also be the glorious presence of our Holy God.
as for the wings...i guess its telling me not to be afraid, for the Holy Spirit will gimme peace.
yeah...
i think im very into writing nowadays.
writing out my feelings is like so much better. i mean, as u read, it feels real.
cos i guess sometimes we numb our hearts so much that we cant really feel.
so writing makes things real.
gotta go for dinner now.
till later then!

okie i know i shouldnt be here at this hour blogging.
but, i just cant sleep after drinking that cup of hot lemon tea.
bah-ness!
hmmm...
maybe i should tell u guys about the visions i saw on sunday, during service.
during worship, i saw this arch exuding a lot of light.
the arch was surrounded by a lot alot of clouds and mist.
the feeling was so magnificent, grand and glorious.
so wow-ed!!
then i begin to doubt myself, i dont know whether its my imagination or is it really God trying to tell me something cos at that time i havent figure out the visons i saw.
during the word released i opened my eyes and i saw a pair of wings flying super fast across our screen where the words"Jesus Is Lord" is.
the feeling was at rest and peaceful.
after service, i went to pastor mark and told him about these and my lion vision.
then he sort of enlightened me.
hehe...want to know....?
tell u later in the morning.
im tired now, want to sleep.
;)

u know i think im gettin' a bit firritated by my meditation in my cave.
okay, not a bit, but A LOT!!!!
gahhh!!!!
im like voraciously reading, writing, dancing and blogging.
other than that, im like rotting at home.

:
a poor gurl being adopted by an influential politician.
then earning fame and loads of $$ being a political courtesan.
exemplifying her dazzling personality, striking up witty and philosophical conversation with political leaders of many countries, bringing wealth and peace to her country.
we'll see how a mild twist of her waist, aggressive walk and a batt of eyelashes cause men of all ages to trip and mesmerized.
behind the mask of this influential figure(queen and leader of fashion and personality), how does she handle her own family, friends and her scandal-filled life?

this is my rough idea for my bubbling story...its in the cauldron bubbling..*broop broop broop*
will continue to develop ideas and details..
im excited im embarking on a glittering journey of lavish and darkness.
woohoo!

okay, gotta go shower, will be back later.
:
:
:
okay back from showers.
did some thinking in the showers.
(my momma must be surprised it was so quiet, cos most of the time i'll be singing praise n worship songs..heehee..)
i got some details for the intro part of my story..
great!
will be writing soon.
lols.
cool, im a genius!
lols! ;)

just came back from the airport.
sent my brother to the airport, he's gone with his friends to bangkok.
though my parents object to his decision of going, he still went.
he's kinda stubborn when it comes to hanging onto his freedom.
like brother,like sister.
lols.
though i am worried for his safety,over there at bangkok,
i thought it was pretty exciting to go there, especially with the political situation there now.
i mean, in the midst of the chaos and all.
he'll get to see what we cant see in Singapore. real life and up close.
raw and tribal.
cool!
but i will pray for his safety, God will send His angels to guard my brother and his friends.
God will protect him.
embrace it, believe it.

yesterday we had combined oikos in church.
the speaker was Dr Andrew Goh.
during worship, i had a vision.
an image of a lion's head appear and disappear, appear and disappear.
it was looking at me.
i felt boldness and excitement.
i felt like im going to fight a war, adrenaline rush.
but i dont know how to interpret the vision.
well, lion could be good or bad rite..?

hmmm...is it God telling me to be self controlled and alert cos the devil is prowling like a devouring lion..?
or is it the Lion of Judah telling me to be bold cos we're fighting a spiritual war...?
or is it smthg else..?
i really have no idea, ya know...

ahh...will ask pastor tomorrow.

You're a Pampered Traveler


Four-star hotels. Shopping sprees. Fine dining. For you, traveling is all about indulgence. Leaving the comforts of home doesn't mean leaving your love of luxury. In fact, you probably take advantage of and enjoy the spoils of a vacation more than most.
Admit it, you like the finer things in life, especially when you're rewarding yourself with a getaway. And you know that giving yourself a few special treats will make the trip more memorable and worthwhile. So go ahead, order the dessert, relax with a massage, unwind in roomy first-class seats. That's how you savor the experience. Ahh...

What Kind of Traveler Are You?






Your signature color is Golden Sunrise


No doubt about it. A vivacious, positive force like you needs to be represented by a color that warms up any room. That's why Golden Sunrise is the perfect color for you! There's nothing bland about you — in fact many would say you're a lively presence at any gathering! And speaking of gatherings, few are complete unless you can at least make a cameo appearance, spreading smiles, laughter, and sunshine in your wake. People can't help but light up when you walk in a room, which is the secret to how you get so much done in a day. Your sunny disposition makes you a pleasure to do business with, and that's why you're so good at making the world go around — at least your little corner of it. Nice work, Sunrise! So keep spreading those rays wherever you go!

What's Your Signature Color?

OMG!!
what can i say..!?
salsa lessons are getting more and more fun!
i'm learning more steps and dancing more!
today's lesson was great!
though i crossed my legs once in a while, but dancing with guys who knows the steps are cool.
i mean, guys who lead you on the dance floor.
they are all average looking, but their ability to dance is their charm.
Oh my oh my!! Lols.. ;)
can't stop grinning after salsa lessons.
cause it was really fun, and the guys are leading and decisive.
in salsa, the guys lead the gurls.
so for once in a while, it's refreshing to be led.
lols ;)
conclusion: guys who can dance are charming, charismatic. i like..! ;p
my feet hurt but i think its worth it.

nah..don get me wrong. i just find those guys charming.
but definitely not as boyfriends.
cos im hungry for God now, not boys.
i used to be boy-crazy, even man-mad.
but now, im God-hungry.
and i will ever be. >_<" v

love y'all! =)

Living Life To The Full

The more u give
the more u get
the more u laugh
the less u fret

the more u do unselfishly
the more u live abundantly

the more u love
the more u'll find
that life is good
and friends are kind

for only what we give away
enriches us from day to day

Come on 24 march, 8pm @ Bethesda Cathedral[Joseph Hall]
Dr Andrew Goh is going to speak on how to live our lives to the fullest!
come and be blessed!

The Lord who walked with me in my yesterdays
will walk with me through today and all my tomorrows!

ok, i just finish doing QT.
so, well, decided to blog some stuff.
i guess now God is putting me through this period of "set apart" and purifications.
cos im facing a lot of temptations but im trying my very best along with God's help to resist.
also, im facing some persecutions and doubts from my close ones.

my family and i went for supper just now at Jalan Kayu.
i didnt know how but the topic that sprout out was about pastors being rich.
well, my family said pastors should not indulge in luxuries.
i do agree, but what then do you count as indulgence in luxuries?
also, through this heated argument i discovered that some of my momma's thinking is kinda wrong.
my brother commented if pastors are seen being rich or indulging, congregation will say that pastors are being materialistic.
i dont know, u know.
i mean, why cant pastors be rich? just as long as they dont indulge in luxuries.
and when their material things are being taken away(like Job in the bible),they should not feel unfair or curse God. i think its ok that pastors are rich.

well, this discussion also led us to another topic of how i feel about my family not going to church and their attitude toward God.
i mean, they are neither hot nor cold.
they say they are christians, but did they communicate with God?
my momma says she does pray to God when she need something, not only on $$ terms but also for strength.
i told her you dont talk to God only when u need something from Him, but also thank Him and praise Him and tell Him u love Him cos we have all the reasons to do so!!!!!
i told them(my family), being a christian is having a relationship with God. we talk to Him and listen to Him. be still and hear His voice.
i told them we can hear Him through the bible,through a sermon,through a prophecy etc.
i ask them are they reading the bible? they kept quiet.
reading His word!!! it's the basics! how do we know His heartbeat if we dont read His word and communicate with Him?!
mayhap i was a little too emotional when i confronted them, but i was glad i did.
cos i finally got it off my chest.
and i also told them about speaking in tongues.

Ahhh..im really happy i said something about my relationship with God.
especially to my loved ones.
i want them to understand, to know how much i love Him.
cos Jesus gave me life.
its always the toughest when your loved ones raise doubts and persecutions.
i'll continue to be a witness for Him and show the world that He loves them too.
bring the Good News to the world.

i love Him.
Cos He loves me too, even more.
And forever.

ha! lovely sunny afternoon.
Now taking a break from work.
been working my butt off, typing my momma's reports.
kinda exhausted now, mayhap i'll take a nap later.

i realised im so not into B.G.R nowadays.
i mean, im like so immune to guys now that i dont even give them an extra glance.
and i dont wish to have a bloody relationship with any bloody guy either.
i just had this new realisation that im taking God even more seriously now.
i mean, im like holding on to Him as if He's the air i breathe.
like...uh..He's the only person who can gimme life.
i want Him more than any other thing.
weird huh..? i dont get it either.
i mean, i dont know why i became like that. it's so sudden, but then again, it's not a bad thing either, yeah..? yeah..*nodz*

life is good.
my life is great. funtastic!
which means-fun AND fantastic.
though sometimes i get into trouble, people hurt me, me hurt people, or sometimes i get grumpy and rant like a mad woman, Jesus is always there to hold me and gimme hope and love.
He taught me to look at life from the bright side of life.
He gave me my dearest family members who loves me as their precious(tho' sometimes they could be kinda protective).
He gave me my gang of friends who brought me fun and craze!
He gave me my family in Christ who brought me joy, delight and laughter,and prayed for me in times of trouble.
He gave me a house to live in, financial assistance, peace and joy in my heart, blessings, even trials and testings to mould my character.
Most importantly, He gave me breath and strength to enjoy all these.

how could i continue to complain and grumble when life is filled with all these He had given?!
how could i not praise and worship Him when i have all the reasons to do so?!
so, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
