Divine Intervention

2007-09-30T20:15:00Z

I know i shouldn't be resting on my laurels and be proactive about my circumstances at work but nowadays i feel so drained out and tired. I'm also worried cos tis week is the PSLE week. I really really am praying hard for the cooperation from the boys. Do u think i should fast for some guidance and intervention into their good behaviour? haiz.... I'm also worried if my lack of energy is due to my thyroid fluctuating to the hypothyroid. I can't seem to pick up the pace, to push myself as before. There's no drive even though I have a lot of things to push me. It's like a real stubborn brake inside of me, or a veil covering my eyes, my mind and my heart over the seriousness of the situation I am in.

At the same time however, I am also experiencing a shock from a family news. It's gonna be a trying time for all of us. I really wonder sometimes, why is our path getting harder and harder? If experience is supposed to make us stronger, why do we need this much strength then? To prepare for something worse? Why do some go through more trying times than others? Why do we have to go through some difficulties that others need not face yet?

I wish i can be specific about what has happened but i can't as this is still public. I can only ask for you readers to continue praying for myself in my career and health, as well as for my family. Pray for strength, guidance and protection.

Thanks and with much love

Hi guys....

this few weeks have been really eventful. really sorry for the lack of updates.

I've been posted to ACS Junior. Happy to be back there rather than you-know-where. keke... although i am in the same cluster as you-know-where, so i will see some teachers from there occasionally. Like the training i had at st andrew's for us BTs (beginning teachers). The Master Teacher who conducted the training was really good though. I wish i could be that good in my job too. Some people seem to be just made for teaching.

I'm now in the morning session. Fortunately still have my dad to send me to school in the morning. haha! i know, it's like i never grow up rite? but if u were me, would u reject free transport that can save u time? =) guess wat, i'm taking p2 again! yeah.... love the level- cute but already "trained". hehe... My class are your usual typical group of kids - the smart ones, the ones whose mouths just can't shut up and there r those who stick to u like glue. Except they r all boys, dat's all. =)

Today was great. It was the Teachers Investiture Ceremony. damn.... i feel like i'm writing compo. haha... anw, was great cos got to wear Harry Potter gown, took some fotos, though dun hav all i would like to take wif. quite a pity. wish i found more of them to take wif but at least i took wif those close to me. I'm glad that i din trip n fall on stage or forget where to walk to or worry that my shoes will fall off. haha! Gonna post the pics in future either here or in my Friendster account. So u guys must KIV here k?

This investiture really closes the chapter of my life in NIE officially. The feelings of sadness and happiness are still mixed inside me. Reminds me of the "Graduation Song" by Vitamin C. Still can't believe it's over le. I really really wish we could still all be in NIE, just having to worry abt our assignments, gossiping abt our course mates, tutors and lecturers. haha! How i wish i could continue on this experience. hai... but i suppose there is a reason for the path i take though i can't see now. I have to trust God for that. =)

While others may have the distinctions, the credits, the crossover to degrees, i suppose i must be grateful wif wat i have. recalling my practicum, i nearly couldn't be here today. so i have to be thankful ya? God, give me a heart of humility and understanding and patience of ur plan for me. Amen!

Prayers...

2007-05-05T18:41:04Z

Hi all... How's the month of April and May been to you? Hope everything is well to all my faithful readers. :)

I'd like to ask for your prayers on my family's spiritual well-being. I think most of you remember reading about my brother's testimony and how his life touched so many of you outside my family.

My family is on the borderline of slipping away from their faith in Christ. My father chose to accept God, probably only at the time my brother was so ill that he was hoping that somehow with his change in faith, my brother would miraculously be better which as you know, he did not get better physically though i know he is well spiritually. My father has long since change to a strong believer in feng shui and being a worldly man.

My mother, being of a traditional wife, would rather follow my father and long ancestral beliefs passed through generations. Though I have witnessed her said the sinner's prayer, my greatest fear for both my parents that in their hearts have already dismissed God as the only God and Christ as their saviour.

Just last night, my mother told me when she registered with my sis for my sis's IC, she told the registrar my sister is a free thinker. Although I know that all of them have said the sinner's prayer, I am still worried that all of them will slip even further away from God, as my family has not attended church for a long time.

When I asked my mother and father last night, after that incident my mother shared with me, who have they been praying to all this time to seek for help and guidance, my parents just laughed it off. I feel really sad hearing that they felt this way. I know my brother would want them to continue their faith in God as my family learnt about God when He used my brother to reach out to my family.

Please pray also for Ben. He is once a strong follower of God but he lost his trust and faith in the church system and does not trust in any churches as yet. Pray for the both of us to find a church to settle in for now I have seen how much I have fallen behind without the guidance of the church and its members.

Birthday List

2007-04-20T16:09:51Z

My 24th birthday is over. So sad! so uneventful but still quite a nice day! :)

Firstly, I pass my practicum!! hehe!! finally.... it's over. As wat u guys tell be, all thanks and glory to God! Amen! :)

Next of all, my mum sewn a very nice n sweet precious moment cross stitch pouch for me. so sweet rite?! :)

And then my dad toast to us, saying "to my daughters, the pride and joy of our lives" awww......

So nice day!

If u r considering belated birthday gifts for me (haha! so ego of me!) I've created a list for u to help u ease ur headache of a perfect gift for me. hehe!

1)Phantom of the Opera Story Book (found it at MPH)
2) Phantom of the Opera Instruemental CD
3)Phantom of the Opera CD (those wif the ppl singing inside)

As u can see, after watching phantom of the opera, i'm still crazy over it. haha! actually never really lost the love for the show since i watched it the first time at 12/13 yrs old.

Depressed once more

2007-04-10T17:34:47Z

My worst fears has come true. I have really failed my 1st observation. It was actually a zero for everything and i am not exaggerating. I can show u the APT form if u think i am. Now she says she's coming on friday for the 2nd one. Guys, looks like i can't be a teacher anymore.

am so so depressed. i know there r worse things in life than tis. but i feel any future events that will come wif wun be gd. My job is one thing. how to pay the bond? how to answer to ppl that i can't grad wif the rest? dat my pay will be cut into half.

I really think i will fail my 2nd practicum. My heart is so heavy tt God's Word can't seem to pull it back to its normal status.

I really dunno wat is wrong wif me. My teaching standard has really dropped. I dun need anyone telling me tis; i know it.

I dun dare to cry but i dunno wat else to do. The next 2 days will be filled with panic, doubts, fear and many other worse things.

Nothing is uplifting me. My face is wearing a mask. So that i can hide my true feelings inside, and hopefully no one will see them.

Right now, i just dunno wat to do. Maybe I should just accept that I'm not teacher material?

Phantom of the Opera

2007-04-05T17:12:38Z

I cannot emphasize more that I LOVE LOVE Phantom of the Opera! It's so sad at the end. I felt so much for the phantom that my tears just came out when he said so simply and painfully "I love you Christine." I could really feel his anguish, sadness and pain of having to let the one person he love so much go because he finally saw that despite everything he did and gave up for Christine, he could not force her to be with him. It was exceptionally heartbreaking when he keeps whispering I love with such pain while in the background Christine was so happy to be with her other love.

I somehow feel that all of us really do go through what the phantom did, just not so theatrical. All of us will do what it takes to keep our loved ones by our sides at all cost, whether our boyfriends, girlfriends, husband, wife, our children. We want to give them the best, want them to do well, like what he tried to help Christine, the female lead, to become a famous opera singer. He may threatened and even killed ppl so that he will not be separated from her. and yet it is because of her love for the other that made him let go.

I think the phantom is also a mirror of most of us. Sometimes we blame the way we look, the environment we were brought up in, the people that treated us poorly, as an excuse for our behaviour. As Christine said, " It's not your face that makes you ugly. It is what within you that makes u one."

I dunno why, but I just felt so affected by it. I could really feel the emotions projected by the singers. It was really so beautiful.

The disappointing part though was that the drop of the chandelier was so anti-climax. "drop" so slowly that it just doesn't go well with the scene. That is the sian part as compared with the first version of phantom of the opera I watched last time.

Other than that, the acting and the emotions that come thru the singing were very well done. Props were fantastic, made the settings very believable with timing of the change of scenes just rite. I really love it so much. Probably the sadness of it all made it more believable for me. I wanna watch it again!! :)

Depressed

2007-03-22T19:29:07Z

i feel depressed, horribly low on self esteem, very doubtful, angry, sad and every single bad feeling roll into one big giant lump in my throat that this afternoon i could hardly breathe, literally.

Half of it wasn't even my fault and i still think that considering all factors, the judgement wasn't fair. i really truly did not receive a single email and I am still being accused a liar and an irresponsible teacher for telling the truth.

You know what, I know my own skills and I can tell her straight to her face I am damn pissed that I need someone to tell me how good i am. My CTs and my kids know that at least it's not dat bad and why should I be told and ranked on how good I am?

The whole system is so freaking based on ppl's judgements and feelings. I believe every individual knows their strengths and weaknesses and I bloody hell know I am not that weak.

I do not want to after nearly 2 years lose my GPA standing based on some woman's nose-in-the-air to tell me I am not fit to be a teacher. I worked hard and everyone knows I do improve and I do want it a lot. And it all started with her own fault, seriously. Yes I did misunderstand and I did make errors but I had only 24 hrs, with my PMS AND flu to cope with. Bloody hell.....

I worked too damn hard to let some person put me down. It may not have as great a GPA as some may have but my GPA has been my best in nearly my whole studying life and she bloody hell destroyed it!!!!!

I'm sorry, I just have to let it all out. It may shock some of you that I may not be all happy go lucky and optimistic at all times. I am a tolerant person but I really really really hate people who totally misjudge, lack trust in me and worst of all, doubt my abilities. Yes, I am not an A+ student but I am certainly no useless person!!! Of cos criticsim is hard to hear but tell me, who would like ppl to tell you almost literally u suck at who u r?! So who can blame me for how i feel now.

My only thanks to God now is that my grade fortunately is not just dependent on today. however when the first round is so bad, how can i carry on. I have, worst of all, let her doubts make me doubt myself......

Life through Photos

2007-02-23T18:57:41Z

hi all. My life in NIE has come to an end on this day. submitting the last few assignments made me feel relieved but sad that these 2 years have finally reached its destination. It's destined for us to always start a new cycle, a new set of experiences but I wish the goodbyes weren't so hard. It was great that the only thing I had to worry abt were assignments and the lecturers. hehe! Feels good to feel so young and a little more carefree. Chris from BHPS said i look rejuvenated in NIE! haha! I manage to recover myself back in NIE the fun and carefree part which i thought i have lost during my contract teaching. Some may feel that it is full of hardship from the numerous assignments, tight deadlines and high expectations but I really enjoyed my time in NIE. I learnt to open up myself, make more friends, achieve things i never knew i could and most importantly, the frendships in NIE were even closer than any people I ever had the priviledge of knowing in my life. The frens i have found in these 2 years have proven to me there are ppl out there sincere in helping others to do well and they are some of the most unselfish ppl I've ever met. My frens, you have shown me it does not take a long time to have such a tight friendship with u all. In my last sem, there wasn't a single tutorial that I was alone. For that I am eternally greatful to u all! :)

Many stuff had happened over these past 3 weeks dat i nv had the time to update. Hence I shall use fotos to remember these precious moments.

10 -11 Feb

Went to M'sia wif my relatives to celebrate my grand uncle's 70th birthday. I did not take a pic wif him unfortunately but if u ever met him, u'd think he's in his 50s! it's amazing. But here are some pics to show u the stuff my mum, sis n i wore dat nite and a cool "birthday peach" bao! oh and he and his wife did rock n roll and cha cha on the dance floor at the end of the dinner. It's so nice and cool! I feel so inspired to learn ballroom dancing and told my mum I won't mind spending money on a grand dinner for her 70th birthday if she and my dad will dance like that. haha!

my pretty mum and sis at the dinner.

my sis and i in the hotel rm. btw, she's wearing my new dress cos she has none to wear. See how nice it is? :P

Isn't that the biggest bao u have ever seen? haha! compare to the normal size ones on the dish. Wait! There's something else under dat big longevity bao.

Even more smaller longevity baos! It's so cool rite? haha!

13th Feb 07

Yes, u noticed rite. It's the day b4 Vday. dat's cos Ben wasn't free on the day itself, being dat he had to go to class which turned out half empty anw. -.- but received something nice for once. kinda reduced me to tears. aww....

The flowers are gone but the bear bear will stay wif me 4eva. :P

18th Feb
Yay, CNY!! see wat i wore.

Wishing u all gong xi gong xi! May tis new lunar new yr bring u all happiness, prosperity and fulfilment of goals and dreams! :)

"Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10)

2007-02-07T17:55:55Z

My apologies for not writing an entry in my journal. Nothing really eventful has taken place recently.

However, reading an old Daily Bread booklet Christmas Edition, I've read an article and I came across this familiar verse. Yet it brought me a powerful recollection of my past experiences.

Whenever I took a holiday, whether to the Grand Canyons of America, the Swiss Alps, the mountains and rivers of Taiwan, looking at the beautiful sceneries, I am always in awe of its splendor. The first thought that comes to my mind is " Such amazing and wonderful places, only God could create them." Indeed, the moments of stillness in these places reminded me that God is God. His awesome power, magnificence and perfection is reflected in the nature around us. I remember studying Biology and learning about our human system, it again led me even then to realise only God can create such a perfect system for us. He has really thought about everything, even down to the number of chromosomes for us to function normally.

Like all of us, I constantly do not have enough still moments to stand in awe and admire God's greatness. Let's open our eyes and be aware of the beautiful creations around us constantly and let us always remember and not forget God is God.

Quite a number of stuff happened over the past week or so.

On Monday, I went wif my sec sch frens to celebrate Min's birthday at Boat Quay. The environment there is really nice and was quite happy that I finally brought them to the TCC that has a very nice interior. went out quite late so the next day I was really tired on Tue.

Yesterday was quite fun too cos my DCE class was cancelled and thus i need not go to school. hehe! Went out wif shinling to shop. I was so happy to find a top i liked a lot and Shinling was saying how come i can be so happy over one purchase. haha! Now i'm well prepared for CNY!

School Started...

2007-01-11T00:37:46Z

Yup, Ive been attending classes for 3 days now. I feel a little stressed as it seems a lot of assignments are due only in a month's time or even sooner.

This round my schedule is a little weird as i have a full day on Tue from 8.30 to a late 6.30pm! sob! But in between there are two 2 hours break so it's really strange. And probably this round there's no lecture so all the modules have two tutorials in each week, something that I have not experienced for quite a while.

Ok I better head off to sch now.

New Year Resolutions

2007-01-02T15:42:00Z

well, all old things not so nice in the last yr, I throw them all away!! haha!! Let me now start afresh wif new New Year Resolutions!

1) to lose 5kg by being more determined to have a fixed exercise schedule and portion out my food lesser.

2) to spend more time with my family.

3) to save more money by keeping track of my expenditure each month.

okie... better keep in short so dat i can fulfill them. hehe

How I wish sometimes that man did not need the companionship and dependence of the people around them to function. Why is it that when there are people around you, the problems have to come along with it too?

After last nite, I feel as if I am at the lowest point of my life, I couldn't have felt any more depressed, tired and so small and useless. I feel as if I am a person with no worth, a "cannot make it" person.

All I wanted was a little privacy. I really do wish right now, just for now, that I can be alone, living my own life without anyone else telling me whether I screwed it up or not, whether I made the right or wrong decision. Sometimes a person just need to cope with the worng choices alone first before wanting to asking another person for advice or help.

Most of the times, the pressure we feel, in my experience, comes not from within us but the people around us. Or maybe I am just a person who is too dependent on other people's approval of me. I feel so torn apart, that I feel I am no longer me. I feel as if my whole life my identity is only what people perceive and expect from me. I want to, right now, be alone and just take time to reflect and think about and build up again who I am...

Christmas

2006-12-24T17:37:03Z

Merry Christmas to all! Hope this season is a great time of celebration for u all, a time where u can spend it with loved ones.

While it's great that most of us spend this time usually with family and frens and exchange gifts, I'd like to dedicate this entry to the VIP and the star only fitting for today - Jesus Christ.

Today, I'd like to spend this entry to dedicate my thanksgiving to my Lord and Saviour, without Whom I wouldn't be who I am today. Reflecting back, I realise every step I took, every decision I made and dedicate it to the hands of the Lord were all part of the Lord's great plan for me. The "setbacks" I went through, the "mistakes" i made, all made me a stronger person of who I am now. I am thankful that while my faith in Him wavers from time to time, His love and plan for me has never changed, the constant in this changing and uncertain world. Every small detail, even the people I come to meet have in one way or another blessed me and helped me through difficult times. God is indeed perfect in every single way! I have even seen in Ben's life all the simple parts and actions in his life were interconnected and inter linked that blessed him tremendously, all of which is only possible through Jesus. Amen!

I pray that the Lord will continue to use me in His mighty plan, grant me patience to accept what comes my way in good stride and to be a blessing to others! In His most precious Son's name, Amen.

P.S: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank u for always answering my prayers! Thank u for the results u have given me this semester! :)

I can't believe I have "wasted" more than a month away. issit going to be the start of school so soon? I also can't believe I'll be teaching in less than 4 months away. It really seems to fast. I will really miss my NIE friends n the times I have. Strange as it seems, I really do enjoy learning at NIE. The stuff I learnt are mostly applicable, useful and interesting to me. Yes, the stress is there but now I really do feel that I enjoy my course. It's so nice to be the student once again, sort of a false protection over myself from the working world for the final time.

This month plus have nothing much. However, these are the stuff I'm looking forward to:

16th to 17th: Cooking session at my place wif my sec sch frens cum xmas gathering.

24th to 25th: Family xmas dinner!

And today being the 12th: Bonus!!!

haha.... take care all. Merry Christmas and may the peace and love of God be with you always

inconsiderate aunties ( & some uncles)

2006-11-21T20:44:22Z

The recent article of overcrowding in the mrt has commented that singaporeans are too spoiled as there is still sufficient space for even personal spaces while those overseas have ppl squashed and so well packed, handrails are not necessary as no1 will fall.

All i can say is that either 1) they get on the station where no one gets on like redhill, 2) the direction they are heading has few ppl going such as harborfront 3) by the time they board a station, it's just after the stop where most ppl get off such as after Tanjong Pagar MRT where like 70% of the crowd gets off so there's bound to be place to stand or 4) they have never found themselves standing at the door or not able to get on the train at all.

Since we are supposed to be talking about inconsiderate aunties, i want to get back to my own observations in the MRT 2 days back.

I was at City Hall mrt, awaiting my turn to get into the east bound train. Already I noticed the neon yellow lines on the floor meant nothing to the several aunties who were standing rite in front of the door even though we were supposed to wait for passengers to get out of the train first b4 going in, hence the need for a clear path in front of the door. Strangely, it was only aunties who are not following the lines unless they have like children along wif them then the children are also guilty of inconsiderate kiasuism. if their thoughts can be seen, it'll probably say: aiya so many ppl, i better be no.1 if not no seats for me. later if i let all the other ppl out, other ppl inside will take my place. cannot....

So when the train arrived and the door opened, in rush the aunties first b4 all the rest could attempt to go out of the train, pushed back by the force of the aunties. ( Aunties are defined as 40-50 plus women in flowery, usually colorful blouses and slacks. Known for speaking mandarin and some hokkien. Especially known for loud voice and extra kiasuism.)

I was the final few to board the train, proving that being last doesn't mean not enough time to get on the train. >.< There was a hunched woman with white hair, probably reaching 60s. She was standing in front of occupied seats where no one bothered to give her a seat, excluding those sitting who are also her age. I noticed she stood handing on with all her might on the handrail. Suddenly her eyes lit up as there was a seat just abandoned by a young woman of my age. The bright blue seat called out to her and just as the old lady shuffled her way through, guess what happened? No prize for the obvious as an auntie run towards the train and landed her fat bum on the seat. I was so angry at the auntie as she was only like wat, 40? She could do with the extra exercise.

Now that the old lady realised that it's the battle of the seats, she got herself poised, positioned in a good place, ready for the next abandoned seat. The next station proves to be a good one as a number of seats became empty. She rushed to a row whereby there were 3 rows of empty seats. Alas she was slightly too slow as one was taken by an auntie again and another by a lanky uncle. A 14 year old Malay teenager was about to sit down when the old lady gave her a face-off battle. Though I could only see the back of the old lady's head, she was probably giving the poor innocent teenager an evil glare, challenging the teenager on her conciousness. The embarrased teenager gave up and the old lady triumphantly sat down, but not before the uncle slid his butt over to the corner seat that was meant for the old lady. Hence the uncle had the better seat while the old lady was squashed in between the auntie and the uncle.

And this is an example of a descriptive essay. haha... nah... all events are true. I just played it up a little with language. :)

Any suggestions how we should educate this particular breed of aunties and uncles who only know how to care for their selfishness?? All ideas are welcome, however silly they are~ :)

Shinigami's differences

2006-11-18T16:18:40Z

I'm back from my genting trip. i know.... most of u will say har... genting again?! but i'm not a gambler, just there for other wholesome fun. :P

When i was there, i went wif my sis to watch death note. I know it's a famous jap movie now and i'm growing to become its fan. hehe... I'm also a fan of Bleach and so if any of u watch either of these 2 anime/movie, u would know that shinigami means "death god" in jap. I know some may criticise like how can a Christian watch this kind of show but let it be known i am watching purely for the entertainment and the exciting plot.

Now back to my subject. U see, I watch Bleach the animae b4 watching death note the movie. Both revolve the belief of a death god existence. Now the death god or shinigamis in Bleach are portrayed as cool beings that ensure human spirits go to where they are supposed to go. The shinigami mostly have cool powers in Bleach and portrayed pretty human looking and they are the good guys. An example of a shinigami in Bleach is this:

Now imagine my horror when I saw the shinigami (k it's 3D drawing animation but still!) in Death Note looks like this:

Speechless rite? the shinigami in Death Note is a partial guy but there never exist what is good or bad, just what it needs to be done.

Anyway, just another random topic of my brain cos i'm now a fan of both. haha... i must be getting morbid to like things like death gods. lol... but the story plot is really good!

2006

2006-11-14T05:33:12Z

in a blink of an eye, i find myself now in the middle of november. the year of 2006 is over. Have you ever felt that the moment you feel comfortable in the pace and timing of the year and then you realise it's going to be over? I always feel this way whenever something is ending.

It makes me wonder and reflect how I have use this 12 months of time that God has given me. Is it meaningful? Have I fully made use of it? Or have I let it gone to waste?

Time for all of us to reflect on our actions for this year. Throw away any bad stuff, renew the good stuff!

Graduation attendance

2006-10-27T13:04:56Z

A couple of weeks back, i attended Janeal's graduation ceremony at ritz carlton. Was happy for her to see her happiest moment as a graduate. I was surprised to see another of my poly friend there too as i thought she would have had her ceremony later since she did it full time.

Although I was very happy for the both of them, I felt a little sad. Makes me feel why am I taking so long to take my degree. All my sec sch friends would have graduated by next year. More and more of my poly friends are getting degrees. I feel I am still stuck with a diploma, like I'm not taking the next step forward. hai... by the time I have my degree, I would be around 28 years old! Feels so old to still be studying and my pay seems a lot more delayed in terms of advancement.

However 4 now, I just want to share some photos of the occassion! :)

Janeal, me and yuting

Janeal and me

Hi to all my ardent readers of my blog. hehe.... well, to any1 who reads my blog anyway....

I know, I apologise 4 the long hiatus. It's cos the past few weeks was a constant flow of assignment deadlines. there are like always 3 different assignments due on the same week k... nw I'm free!!! I'm a free gal!!! :P Some may say I shld plan earlier, start earlier, etc. I know, but I'm a big procrastinator! haha...

k, other than assignments, these are the other stuff that has happened in the small little life of mine:

1. Have been watching the reruns of Full House! And yet 4 the second time, the show ended last weekend. *sobs* again my fav show ended! I love 2 see Yingzai aka Rain's expression! Got the cute small boy expressions and attitudes! Always argue there's no 1 2 cook dinner 4 him if Zhi En goes out wif another guy. haha....

2. Bleach is an awesome animae! must must watch guys! the only animae I have watched so far. lol...

3. I've been blessed wif new frens from my DED and DLK module. Brave thru the assignments hurled at us and we have bonded over the 3 hrs long breaks. Although my DEd has ended last week, which means coming to sch later, I sort of missed hanging ard wif them.

4. While many are reluctant 2 share assignments for competition of grades, my thanks go to Serene who was there to help and even correct my assignment for me. She was true and honest abt my work and sincere in helping me while I in turn help her. A rare gem indeed. Thanks gal!

5. Have been coping well wif my thyroid. Thyroid btw, is a hormonal problem, and mine being on the hyper side causes my heart to beat faster, high metabolic rate hence will lose weight easily and a huge mood swing. Thankful for my family and Ben who show their support and tolerated my mood swings. I am very blessed with their understanding.

All in all, always in times of turmoil, there's always some forms of blessings and comfort given to us, as long as we know how to recognise them! :)
