Still her avid supporter.
Always my favourite best friend. >_<
On North Diversion Road @ Arts House Play Den
Issi Fan Club - throws pom pom in the air!
It was good to see Barry there... :) If I'm her avid supporter, he is her forever supporter.
It was also good to meet Cheryl's other half for the first time .... he looks better in real life :)
Girls - let's go for another of her show in future! but, let's have an early dinner before that!!! :)
42, 46, 32, 48, 47 *mental notes : when i reach 50, I can make a wish, 1 for you, and 1 for me....* hee heee
The interactions I had with Chiwern's family this time round has been deeper than ever...It has also helped me to understand Chiwern even better, and has taught me to appreciate the goodness in him as well.. :)
I've always told Chiwern that he is so blessed to be born in a Christian family. I've been equally blessed to be his girlfriend and experience the warmth of the Lord through this family. At the end of each day, his parents would initiate a sharing session and we would all sit around and share a bit about ourselves. It was great fun! There were tears, and laughter. I even got to know more about his parent's dating experiences! *Too personal to be revealed here* ... But, I'm so glad that I was included in part of this family. i'm so glad to be prayed over every night...
I see how this Christian family operate and I pray that this will continue to flow from his parent's generation to our own family. I see how they interact with each other. I see how every child is protected by the Lord. I hear of stories of how auntie prays for everyone of them every night. i hear good news of God's provision for the family at the right time... and in my heart ... my prayer is that our family will be modelled after this...That the Lord God will always be head and leader of the household. Just Like Chiwern's.
In this trip, Mei Yih (Chiwern's sister) talked to me more and I'm able to connect with her on a deeper level. Not so awkward. :) I like. Mei Yih and I shared the hotel room and we watched TV to sleep! :) I'm so gonna miss her and the chat till we fall asleep! :) I told her that she's become such a lady already... Packs up, washes up without being instructed.. Like a perfect Proverbs 31 woman.. I really admire her.. She's very mature for her age..
DAY 1
Pic 1 - SO EXCITED! Arrived in Malaysia and took a picture in the bust as we usually would!
Pic 2 - Took a cab! But the hassle was such an experience! The bus dropped us off at Pudu Raya but the cabs over there wanted to charge us about $30 for us to cab to Chiwern's Godma's place! We walked on (While shopping!) and found a cab who would charge us by the meter! So cheap! it was $10 equivalent to singapore's $5!
Day 2
READY FOR SOME FUN!
PALACE OF THE GOLDEN HORSES!
He Cannot Contain His Excitement Upon Reaching the Hotel!
This is what i call the trolley of love....
When we went to the supermarket to shop...Chiwern started plucking of things the shelves that I like to eat, drink and use.... In my heart, I felt touched and loved... Like how he remembers the things I use...and the things I like to eat n drink :)
Our Silly Pictures! :)
Our Silly Games! :)
This is the whiteboard of Love... :)
In the midst of all the important's numbers on the board... I see my name there...
Auntie booked the Aeroline first class bus for us! Sooooo Blessed! The seats are comfortable, the tv was right in front of us..breakfast, tea break and muffins were served! There's even a comfy lounge downstairs! *GASP*
Thank you so much for everything. Thank you God...For everything that you have blessed me with.
*So many more photos!!! but no time!!**








































































Yes..and so we spend the saturday going to the club to swim (with world's bestest sister!) and then later add the weight back on during lunch at the club's restaurant. And the main activity that I've been so looking forward to - BAKING OREO's CHEESE CAKE!
Bought all the necessary ingredients...
And of course...posed! (hee hee)
Prepared the ingredients...

Crushing Oreos...Smells really really gooooddd~
Then, we realised that we lacked ingredients!!!! So we drove out! I love it when he takes the steering wheel... when he drives around with that look of seriousness, and that wonderful driving skills... it gives me this sense of warmth and security... hehehe ... *giggles*

Since I came back from Australia, We'd never had a potluck tradition like we had in Australia on a weekly basis! So, We jumped at it when Joe suggested a Potluck's @ his place... :)
We enjoyed ourselves!! When is the next one please? *Grin*
Before the potluck, Chiwern and I went to watch 300 200 pounds beauty... We loved the show. People think that it is a different version of the Andy Lau, Sammi Cheng's show...but no... I absolutely loved this one! :) THe show is ending soon, yet its ticket is still selling fast! A defintely must catch! :)
We didn't need to spend money to buy present for each other... :) Cause my Mummy gave us a couple watch for our anniversary! :) Not the prettiest of watches, but we love it so much for the significance behind it.:)
Went into my room...and was greeted by a note that said:
" Learning to be romantic.... Hope you like the Ice-Cream Cake. Love, Chiwern"
OF COURSE I LOVE IT!!
And, if you have yet to notice, this is the first anniversary we're spending without me having the metal looking thingy on my teeth!! :)

On saturday, it was their (Apple and Brennyer) 1st month Anniversary!
Check the gift out! :)
Shi Hui Taught me how to make the heart shape with the straw...so I send them my blessing by giving them the heart that I made! :) Heheheheheheh
Then Shi Hui and I went to Parkway to shop for necklace! Coz I saw some and really liked them very much! :p..and since she was queen of accessories and knew Parkway at the back of her hands... Off we went! :) But, the shop was so crowded and I did not want to squeeze my big backside in...so we continued walking..and then Chiwern Arrived...so we went to meet him ... So this was the first time they met! :) 10 March 2007 is an important date! :)
HAPPY MEETING TO A AND CHIWERN! :)
I was very happy not only cause I received a gift, but he knew what I wanted and got it - something prettier than what I had in mind! :) Thanks! :) You really made me feel very loved! I know I did not express it very well! But I love it!
But, what I enjoyed more was the time I got to spend with you....
So, on the bus .... I just could not stand it any longer, I decided to give him the gift that I prepared for him. I intended to just hide it in his bag.... but on our way to bugis, I decided to give it to him, to celebrate the news we received on 7th March 2007.
I think I love the gift more than he did! :)
We headed to Action Theatre to see the best actress in the whole wide world! :)
Yes! We went way earlier than expected, so ended up taking silly pictures! :) Seriously, now that i look at the pictures, dear, you're like my best friend ... and you've been seriously amazing...
Well, needless to say, The show was amazing :) , Go catch it! :) And while, Issi and I were catching up after a show, we still get people who comes up and wanna get pictures with her! Like a hot popular star! :) My bestest bestest best friend, You're soon reach what you have been aiming for .... :) Well, I don't have to even ask ... :-) I will always get a picture with her if I want to ! :)
Chiam Chiam, You did well! :) And as usual, I'm very proud of you! :)
You will always be my best friend...
Even Chiwern thinks you did well! The kind who does not how to appreciate art!?!?!?!??!?!
Then, we headed to Tecman bookshop where there was a storewide 30% discount! :) Gosh! :) One of the favourite books we co-shared was the personality book for couples and we spent the next 1 hour at macdonalds just reading it and doing our personality test! Boy! did we have a good laugh! :) And realized how much we've changed and how we shoudl learn to accept each other for who we are :) and adjust our expectations accordingly! :)
Headed to city hall to meet he he Trina, our melbourne turned singapore friend! :) She's changed much..even the laughter changed! :) We're so definetely gonna to keep in touch! :)
Cell group on Sunday is something that I love! And look forward to every sunday! Every time, you come, and you see the kids and how they have grown , and how they are willing to open up more, how much they are willing to give to God more, you get inspired for the coming week again...and all you can pray for them is that God will continue to protect their faith through the trying identity crisis in secondary school, the pressure in JC, and the worldly temptation in University...
This week, I see a breakthrough, in the children's sharing.... that the children are still consistent in their quiet time, I see them being more genuine and more accepting to change... I still don't know what to do, but one thing I know, when I keep my eyes upon you, you will be in our midst. :)
:) granny's birthday pictures up next!~ :)
Now, will you join me in counting down till the next weekend?
Hugs,
Chin Ling :)
Finally met up with Jasmine and Christopher on Saturday! :) And it was a good, quick catch up! (More coming up at Chris' s place, I guess!)
Jas!! You promised the pictures and I am EAGERLY waiting for it! *Grinz*
Then it was dating for us...Its been ages since we caught a movie... and so we caught the movie that I'd really wanted to watch very much "Happy Birthday" ... some part of it got quite slow...with good music playing..but yeah..u get the geez of it ...times like that, I thank God chiwern is with me...coz times like that, we crack stupid jokes, or guess what's coming up next... Life's a lil more exciting like that... *Grinz* Well, popcorn does help as well! :)
After watching the movie, I hugged him real tight and told him that he cannot cannot cannot definetely not go before me....... (those who watched the show will probably understand why I said that), But yes, like what the girl said to the guy were my exact sentiments to him (and is most apt to say during this Valentine's season), "Thank you for standing alongside me in the many seasons of my life, and pulling me up whenever I need that push and hear me cry when I need the shoulder to lean on... Thanks"
On another note, I'm excited about this year's Valentine's because this is the first year we are spending it together, previous year, we were apart geographically... was tormenting, but I had great friends and family with me ( I really thank God for all of you!) ... I wonder what is coming up this year! I'm excited!!
But, we saw something more to celebrate and reminded us of the greatest love of all:
it says "Love is not in the air, it is on the cross"

Sunday , 11 February 2007
Had Sunday Service and Children's cell as usual... was really feeling lethargic...and I really did not feel like going at all!!! My emotions were kindda taking over me on a Sunday. I thank God that he overcomed the lethargicness for me, and gave the strength for the day! :) Especially , when I led cell, Energy just came to me like nothing! Thank God! I even played "Lao yi Zhua Xiao Ji" with them.. Gosh.... I wonder where I got all that energy from...
This week's lesson was about Fear and Faith. Lesson taken from the passage "Jesus Calms the Storm" so the children folded boats and wrote their concerns... This week made me realize that children understand and ask more questions with object lessons... instead of the preaching method...will keep trying. :) Reading their fears on concerns on the boat really reminded me that they really are real people whose fears and concerns are valid..very valid and should be treated seriously... :) Well, from the above picture, you can see Yi Xuan using the boat as his mask :) It was good fun... *Grinz*
The bond is starting to form between us..and it encourages me to keep praying for them, the atmosphere in cell group is slightly better now ...the children are more co-operative and willing to work together, I pray that God will continue to grow them to become strong men and women in the Lord. They have been an encouragement to me every Sunday...They probably don't read this ,But thank you children! :) I'm starting to love you all more and more :)

2nd February 2007
Starting from Friday night, I went for one of the session for FCBC Santification week..Man, i must say, it was like a new start..
Right from worship, when we started singing "How Great is Our God" ... I just felt in awe of his greatness and his character .... Especially when we sang "Time is in his hands, beginning and the end" .. This moment in my life, I am starting to feel that Time is in control of me, and I am not able to catch up with me... its leaving me breathless and times I feel like "GIMME SOME SPACE TO BREATHE PLEASE!" But, really, if time is in God's hands, What else can he not control? What else is more difficult for him? I reject the thoughts that I need to keep moving along with Time, because my God is a God who is in control, I need only to move along with My God...
There were a few things that Pastor Eugene shared that made me ponder:
"To the extent to which your heart is touched by God, to which your life is reached by God is the entent your tribe, family and relationships will grow." For the word of the Lord has said
these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things"
Colossians 3:2
Pastor William's Congregation (9am @ Daniel Hall) 3rd February 2007
Its been a long time since the last congregation, and even though I woke up really early this morning for the WORD encounter (6am) , I have no regrets...its been a fulfilling experience..
This congre, felt very family. The sharing from Pastor William, and the other brothers was clearly their heartfelt sharings, which I have been very blessed by. ;p
Pastor William shared a hard to digest message, yet one that is inspiring, as usual.
The truth was brought forth, without coating with sweet honeyed words, and the truth is that Our Christian walk will be one of sufferings, sharing the suffering in Christ, so that we may be changed from glory to glory.
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character;
and character, hope,
And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
How big is your problem then, Chin Ling,
That is how big a victory you will be getting! :)
All of weilun, Paul and Dennis's sharing were good, many things they said really awaken me from various parts of slumber in my life. I was particularly touched by Paul's testimony at the end of the sharing ... He said that God told him this " 我 都 æ²¡æœ‰æ€ªä½ ï¼Œä½ ä¸ºè®¾ä¹ˆæ€ªè‡ªå·±ï¼Ÿâ€œ He was referring to the some of the guys he was discipling who decided to drop out of church and not come back... God, in his goodness,understanding that these has made their choice, and it was a choice that even a leader cannot decide for them. But, God knows that many of us are wounded, because of the guilt and the condemnation we put on ourselves... So, the moment Paul Said that, I really broke down. I never knew I was suffering from this guilt.. It was just very subtle, sometimes, you think about people that God has caused to cross your path, and how they have dropped out, I think about the ex-cell group... My heart hurts at the loss of many... I really felt like my hands were bloody from the killing of many spiritual babies .. I really really really hurt from it... I really feel so weak in my own capabilities... God has surfaced this weakness...and this time, I cannot wait to start serving again ....at Kids' Cell, At TYLC! :) He will make me strong in my weaknesses! Yeah! A New Beginning!
At the end of congre, Pastor was prompted to give hugs to those who needed it ...and man, it was such a healing moment for many...
And for me, just being at congre with the whole team again felt great... I really felt that love and family atmosphere, I thank God that he has binded us through the hard and joyful times :) We freely prayed for each other, laughed alongside each other, cried together... and yes, I'm so glad we did it together :) I love each and everyone of you...and really, lets cry together with each other when one is in sorrow, lets take joy and celebrate each other's success too! Del Del, Thanks for your hug....It was a time of closure for me...
Up Next! Photo Blog!

Ever since I received the Pre-Anniversary Gift, (Thanks Susan and Val! :)
I got really, really excited as you can see from This post, This post, and this post!
On 29th January 2007......
Was waiting at home for Chiwern to come so we could celebrate the 2nd Year Anniversary somewhere...
The next thing I knew, a taxi was waiting for me to get on... and I was like "Where are we going?"
Then he said "you'll know!"
Praise God that the taxi driver was very very nice :)
- That's where we were headed to!-
Its been many years since I took a cable car!
Lo And Behold, I am going to be in it at least for 2.5 hours! :) Yay!
First up, Tomato Soup! :)
And Chiwern and the WHOLE WIDE WORLD knows that it is really NOT my kind of soup...
So , he made bought CLAM CHOWDER soup for me which tasted excellent! :)
That's SERIOUSLY THOUGHTFUL of Chiwern...knowing he is the gong gong kind :)
Yup, That's the SENTOSA view behind us! :)
Yup! Thumbs up to you! I am suprised, excited and so BLESSED! :)
At the first round, Chiwern gave me a surprise present..
He said "Chin, I need to start learning to stand on your right side...if not, our hearts cannot meet"
Coz of this couple shirt.... :)
Which also means I need to go to the gym often, otherwise the left side of the "heart" will look like its expanding!
Cheers!
to 2 Great Years that the Father has given us! :)
and still wearing the ring you gave me a year ago! :) (despite the few times I took it off....*giggles)
Second round - means the Main Course is ready to be served! (Yummy!)
Despite the various reviews and comments by others, we found the food quite good! :) I choose to believe thaty they improved for us! Looks Good right?
The Apple Strudel Arrived! That means its the third round!!
Which means, I get another present!:p
Actually, its obvious that it is a poster... He's been carrying it since he met me.,.. (CHEY)
But, What Kind of poster?
OH GOSH! If you were me, would you be speechless. I was! Its beautiful!
At the end of it all, he bought this for us...
Photoframe, photographs...and it sits nicely in my wallet now! :)
Blessed 2 years Anniversary and many more to come... ....
Living Happily Every After...
Just When I thought this was the end...
Yes... This picture in the taxi marks the end of our 2nd year anniversary and the beginning of the Third Year...
