Glide, and breathe.

One of the things that i enjoy the most is swimming and i have started swimming again recently after not doing so for more than one semester. In fact, ever since i broke my arm at the start of the year. The feel of gliding through the water brings much pleasure, it's a sensation that deeply etches to ur mind. Perhaps it's the surge of endorphins. :)

On my way to the pool yesterday, i was so fortunate to catch this beautiful sunset view. It's like a mixture of orange, blue and red swirled in the right proportion that is so awesome, it takes my breathe away. How apt of my blog address ' youpaint-theskies'. heh, God is a wonderful artist isnt it.

Things at work have picked up this week.. except for the discomfort due to my sore throat and feeling a lil feverish today. I felt like an architect or contractor today cuz i had to draw out the layout of the sterile rooms in the lab, which was pretty enjoyable so i didnt feel sleepy at all!

Anws, i wanted to visit Xiaxue's blog and accidentally typed in http://www.xiaxue.blogpsot.com/ ... those who have sharp eyes will notice that i typed blogPSot instead of blogSPot. which led me to some christian webbie. I was shocked for a few seconds cuz it's unlike XX to post religious contents, let alone a long list of evangelistic contents!! Then I speculated that perhaps her blog was hacked into...but immediately i noticed my typo error. -_- Hahas, perhaps it would do readers good to read sth edifying instead of hmm.. not-very-edifying stuff written by xx. lol.

Faith.

Deborah Reeds was the guest speaker for saturday youth service and she led pple into prophesying over their lives. Then Liane asked me, what if the visions the pple had are merely what they imagine, hope to see? That very question struck me before..and even though i told her the politically correct answer of praying and asking God if that's from Him, etc.. i cant help but to wonder, then why did so many pple see visions like armour, soldier etc.. Could it be a result of reading abt these from the Bible? I mean like once those images are registered in the brain, it's easy to just recall them, isnt it? O man, sometimes i wonder why i question .. and i wonder if it displeases God when i question.. cuz is it considered as doubt? Am i then not a child who has 'childlike faith' that pleases the Father?

I lose the drive easily too. I know God can renew .. so if i am not renewed, so that mean i have yet to rest in Him? I started work with this drive and motivationbut now i am partially deflated. I started the pray&fast thing with Marcus well, yet i cant persevere. I agreed to help Keith out but i think i cant really help and even when i do, i think i wasnt of much help.Okays, enough of ranting.. i am sure God is teaching me sth during this season.

To what extent can we really claim

You are all i want,
You are all i ever needed.

the joy of the weekends when you work.

I started the week feeling very refreshed but by thurs i was already very drained. It was more of physical fatigue but it kinda affected my spirits especially when i didnt have much challenging tasks to do on thurs. I was extremely tired and bored i could hardly keep my eyelids peeled. I do enjoy learning things at work but there's always this 15% of worktime when u get bored and the sleepy bug sets in... :/

Cell on friday was good..got to know Michael better by leading worship with him. lol lil bro with lil eyes. Had CLT on sat morning before i met gloria in the afternoon :) Before she came I sat down by the the fountain at raffles city alone, simply enjoying aolitude, looking at cute lil kids and waching pple pass by. Also enjoyed catching up and chatting with gloria when she came.. and looking back, it's amazing how our friendship evolved over 8 years. Though we do not get to meet very often, i am glad to have a friend whom i can connect to and talk abt deep stuff whenever we meet up. After service, some of us sent Belinda off at the airport and perhaps cuz i learn German as well, i feel so excited for her as well!

Today.. was CLT in the morning. Then spent the day with dear at town. :) I just realised how much of a horror it is to drive through little india on a sunday cuz the indians jay walk everywhere, like even 5cm away from cars..

tmr's a public hol and it's NO-WORK-JUST-RELAC day. SMILE :P

Ihre Erstaunlich Liebe

my current fav song :)

Went out with marc after his last paper on tue! We watched ironman, which was very nice and not as guy-ish as what most girls think. Walked arnd Orchard after that and though my foot hurts at times, i still enjoyed myself alot :) Ate dinner at Jap Marche and had my fav salmon sashimi and unagi too!

Today was my first day of internship. I was really afraid that i would be late when i saw the morning peak hour jam at braddell- CTE, but was relieved when the jam only lasted till the cross junction. God blessed me with a bus 93 that came shortly after i reached the bus stop too and i arrvied at the office early after all :D Basically for today i observed how quality checks are carried out on the contact lens at the lab and familiarised myself with the production process. I even got to try checking for the lens power, diamater, curvature and wetness. The production line consists of a few processes with many QC checks in place esp since the eyes are very sensitive and delicate... and i gotta write them out before i see the one that's in place..gosh. It's exciting when i realise what i learn does build up my overall understanding of things and are relevant in the workplace. I am amazed when i found out that the company did not employ interns for the past few years and how great God is to provide me with this internship despite me feeling so inadequate in many ways. It was really an answer to my prayer of asking God to open doors and close doors for me when i was wondering whether i shld apply for church HIP prog. :)

i breathe freeeee-dom :)

Today marks the official end of year2sem2! I was pretty tickled at how they attached big detachable tables to the chairs in LT7a and even placed a HUGE clock in front. And when i say huge, it's really beeeggg for a portable clock, like at least 1 metre in diameter. So when physio was finally over, it was time for pix again! :)


the big SISTER. lol.


now with er-jie


Lunched @ Mussel guys.. hmm without any muscle guy.

Will be working on Wed and so basically tmr's my only free weekday :( But will be out with dear tmr! :)

I wished i had God's eyes, to see everything in perspective.
