One of my greatest gifts from YEP trip is to know Edwin.
He's my brudderrr...
and the best of all, he has a mom who cooks super nice food, tested and approved by fellow COT-ians :)
Yeap, today COTs went to Edwin's house to have our reunion dinner. COT reunion... once in a blue moon event :) Last year only me, lin and my dear sp managed to go for the CNY feast at edwin's house. His mother is really a great chef, and she prepared so many dishes that we so wanted to finish but in vain, cos the portion was too big. This year, all of us were there to feast, and it felt really "shuang" to conquer 90% of the dishes. Yummy!!!
Menu of the year... (ps: all these were made by edwin's mom, everything!!! not buy from outside eh! ) too bad i don't have the photos of all the food we ate tonight, waiting for zee to upload more... kuai kuai ah!!!
Yu sheng (so cool right, his mom actually made this!!) I ate another yesterday from sakae sushi, i think this is nicer, because the sauce is really good!!)
This dish looks simple, but it requires a lot of work to prepare it.
The wasabi-mayo sauce for the prawn is superb!

Thanks edwin, and xing ku your mom and dad le! :)
ps: please wash your feet before going onto your bed pls :P
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this
all-surpassing power is from God and
not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)

Love
Sometimes I really wonder how did I pull through those difficult periods.
Somehow I still did.
You know, the power of love is not strong enough to do all these.
But somehow, the power of being loved can.
You think accepting this love is easy?
Sometimes, loving someone is easy.
But accepting one's love is hard.
It's just like you know that your parents love you,
but to accept their love is hard, if it's not then there won't be so many family quarrels and stuff.
Craps, guess I don't know what I wanna talk about now. Perhaps it's the many worries and fear that are running through my mind sets me into an emo state again.
I just want to write down a few lines,and reassure that I'm very loved,
and it's this love that gave me strength, through the many phases in the past,
and it will give me enough strength for now, and future.
Happy Chinese New Year to all :)

Come What May..
It feels quite different to travel to school. Now I truly understand how my peers have been waking up early for the 8am lesson and trying to cope with the fatigue caused by sleep deficiency and long journey to and fro school daily. Luckily this experience comes to me when I am in my final semester, so not that bad. In fact, I feel I am enjoying it, for the time being i guess.
It has been all about FYP lately. The deadline for my grading draft is 6 feb and my analysis and results are not out, yet. For the past 3 weeks, I have been exhausting every lobe of my brain to figure out the ways, I managed to get 60% of the thing, but the 40% is still nagging me day and night. I am at my wits end. In fact, I became very frustrated with myself for the lack of wisdom and clinical skills. To be honest, I was quite upset that help was not given to me when I am helpless, although I have sent email telling him that I need advices.
Admist the helplessness, I am still glad that many friends are giving me support. They understand the complexity involved in this portion of my analysis, and tried to figure it out with me too. I really appreciate them for their willingness to be involved in my project, although they have their project to deal with too. I haven't come up with that 40% analysis yet, but it's okay, I am leaving it for now. If there's one thing i cannot do right, I can always do the other 2 or 3 things that are right, at least.
While I was frustrated with myself, and trying very hard to cope with the fears of submitting an empty results, suddenly i saw this note that i wrote to myself right before this project was given to me. A timely reminder from God. Before I went to ballot for my FYP project, I made a small deal with Him, that is no matter what project is given to me, it is not by coincidence and I want it to be the best way for me to get closer to Him. I said no matter good or bad, I will hold onto His hands and not to forget that He is the one who gives and takes away. That note reminds me who's in control.
Sometimes I am just so immersed in the challenges and difficulty that it becomes so easy to forget the timely grace that God gave me throughout the journey. I had reached the bottleneck of my project once, but I pulled through, amazingly, and I know that it's not me or anyone else.
You know, I finally find strength in this hopeless situation. Not that I wanna work for an A for it, it's simply because I need to submit the project and I can't possibly send an empty report.
But, knowing that He is in control really comforts me tremendously. I don't know how, but i know i will pass this challenge. I know that He'll work very hard for me, only I don't lose heart in Him.
I don't know about tomorrow, but i know who holds my hands.
Knowing that I have His absolute love that is unchanging and the visions that evolve around Him really give me a little more courage.

Char Siew Pau
Was having a random conversation with my brother and he can always entertain me with his own sense of humour. He is talking about it's time to get a gal and it's last sem already and stuff like that, but once you get desperate, your value and expectation will drop, then you will get char siew pau.
One thing he wants me to remember:
Char siew pau forever is char siew pau
No matter inside got sharkfin or abalone, once u see char siew pau, u have no appetite
Just a little conversation yet he makes me so happy.
Perhaps it's because we are able to talk more freely these days.

Anxious
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
