Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Happy? Blessed? Happy! Blessed!

I am just so glad. Yesterday, I finally got the chance to dye my hair! I dyed brownish red. I dont really look like the usual Freda. The auntie trim my hair til it was really thin. And, the colour really turned out RED! All along, I thought that my hair was really black, which means it is harder to "absorb" the dye. haha. But it prof me wrong this time round. haha. But I really really hate the process. Initially I wanted to dye & highlight. But, the auntie kept asking me whether I wanna dye this dye that, when I asked them for the price, they just cannot tell you the exact price. And when I told them that it is too ex. They short of think that you are stingy. Then, both the aunties thought that I AM A MALAYSIAN!!!!!!! So what? Are they saying that STINGY = MALAYSIAN? So I ended up with just a dye with full of FIRE IN ME. Luckily the result was OK, if not, dun expect me to step into the shop anymore! Anyway, the worst thing that they could do me is the way they wash my hair. Her nails were so long, and my scalp almost came off!!! Haiz. I shall stop talking about it. Pek CHek!

In order to stop myself from being fed up, I pamper myself for a body scrub @ Body Sense! haha. The sand were very fine. And I just felt that my whole body were so smmoothhh after the scrub. haha. Well, a birthday treat for myself. Well Spent, I would said. haha. Then met the rest at DB MRT.

Last night I reached home at 12am. Haha. Enjoyed myself at the Mind's Cafe. I finally get to drink the so called Sparkling drink plus Ice Cream? Haha. thats called Mango Float for your info. haha. Took sometime to get that right. Yeah Sylvia? ahha. We played some games, but somehow, I find the games boring. haha. ANyway, its the presence of the ppl that I am glad with. haha. We chat, we eat, we drink, we play. haha. And Suddenly, my CARROT CAKE APPEARED! Haha. It was a big cake. Straight away, Choir were singing. haha. Then we proceeded in cutting the cake. Luckily we managed to finished 3/4 of the cake, despite the size. Haha. I bought back the rest of the cake for tonight's dessert. haha. I love it. Well, Not many people know how to appreciate the cake, because it has a qite an unusual taste, But it was perfectly done with the sinful cheese. haha. Thanks to Andrea & Pauline once again.

Before I ended the very special night. Perisa & Titus gave me a very BIG surprise. haha. Thanks. I was touched but NO TEARS. haha. Who says being touched, must cry? haha. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. haha. It was something exquisite to me. I will treasure it very much respectively! Thanks. haha

To those who came. Thanks alot once again. It will never be the same without you around. haha. God Bless.

Very Blessed,

Freda

Its Princess Freda Birthday!!!

Time really flies, I am finally 19. What 19 means to me? haha. 5 years ago, Someone asked me to be his gf. haha. And my reply to him was, until I turned 19. Reason is because, what Pastor PP preached on BGR was that the requirement for girls to engaged in a relationship is when they turned 19 and above and guys were to finished their army. haha. But of course, as time passed, Pastor's gained in wisdom. The criteria now, is not about your age. But getting into a relationship is much more than that. How ready you are, emotionally, mentally, physically & emotionally. haha. Of cos, the guy that asked me that question is not willingly to wait. 5 years to him is sssooooooooo long. haha. But I am also glad, that its not him. But, we have became good friends instead. haha.

But well, I shall really wait for the day when I turn 22. That will be the year, that I can tell all of you, what does 22 means to me. haha. Special Special Special. Only someone knows. haha. Which means there are another 3 years to better myself, emotionally, mentally, physically & emotionally. haha. I will not regret waiting for...... haha.

I am really glad to know Jesus. I love YOU!! He has indeed blessed me abundantly by giving me so many people who love me and cares for me. I received a total of 15 well wishes from family & friends. It is really amazing, I guess this year is the year I received the most Birthday messages. Haha. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrea & Pauline, I know that you guys made great sacrifice of your time & energy to bake me a surprise CARROT CAKE WITH LOTS OF CHEESE!!!!! haha. And to organise a little gathering tonight. Thanks for treating me like your blood related sister. haha. I am really blessed to know & be part of your Tiew family. haha. You guys have seen me through thick & thin, and even gave me a shelter when I have none. Thanks. I am just full of gratitudes towards you guys. haha.

Also wanna thank HCG 02. Without your endless moral support & encouragements, I wouldn't be who I am today. I wont be a so called "Cell Leader". haha. I really love all of you. Though we are of the same era, but you guys are like my sheep. haha. If anyone of you are lost, I would give my life to find you back. haha. ( so touching right ). Thanks for following me even though I am not perfect. But I will work towards perfection. haha.

One person I can never forget, thats my SF. Thanks for taking care of me since I joined the HLC. Thanks for taking over the role of a Spiritual Father to me, that have made me a strong lady to date. I have really learned alot from you. Your love, care & concern, goes into all aspects all my life. You have shown me how important is a sheep to a shepherd. Thanks for loving me. I will always follow you!! :)

To Perisa,
Thanks for being the closest sister in the Chua Family. Though we are 6 years apart, but you are mature enough to understand the family situation. haha. Dont be too mature, or I wont be special already. haha. Stopping snatching the blanket from me!!! haha. No la. Joking. I am happy to spend my birthday with your presence. haha. I Love You!! ( Something I am Paiseh to say to you ) haha.

Last but not least, Titus thanks. haha. You have been the best brother, friend & companion. My life is different with you around. haha. May God continue to mold you in the next few years. haha!!! That will be the best present for me. haha. Joking. You are the most handsome guy, in my own extent. haha. (stop laughing ppl). haha.

Thanks to everyone who have made an impact in my life. Your kindness will never be forgotten. I love you all.

God's Princess,

Freda

Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Its really boring!!!!!!!!!!

I am really getting tired of my current job!! FREDA FREDA FREDA, YOU ARE SLACKING!!! I am already slacking and will continue to slacken if I continue to work here. Goodness. Uncle KK has not get back to me regarding the Montessori Job. It has been 9 days already. Am I forgotten? No la. Gd will not forget me. I will comstantly pray about it.

But even if I dun get that job, I dun think I wanna stay any longer here. I realised I am getting more and more lazy and ignorant about things and work around me. I am not as hardworking as before. But, the earth is still revolving, but instead of getting better, I got worse. Haiz. That is surely not the way to start the New Year off!

I got to do something man, before I turn into someone Satan's loves!!!! AWAY FROM ME , MORON!!!

God, I would like to start my year afresh. I wanna be more hardworking than the past. I wanna go all out for You once again. Renew the Spirit within me again, Lord. The old has gone, the New has COME. I wanna maintain my first love for You. I remembered in the past, I will do anything as long as it concerns You. You have not change, thus, I do not want to change too. Father, Nothing is impossible with you. I will regain the confident FREDA!

NO FEAR, NO DOUBT, NO LACK!

Cell Group Yesterday...

Yesterday HCG 02 did not have official Cell Group. Which means we had an informal meeting last night. As the attendance were low, thus we decided to use that time to visit Carmen's grandma funeral. I presume Carmen was glad to see us there because she sent us a Thank You msg for attending. It was a Christian service. I should say that it is the first Christian Funeral that I have attended. Though it was preached in chinese, but I should get to understand 90% of it la. haha.

We started the service with a couple of chinese hymns, as what Jordan said, it should be a tradional church service. haha. Probably because the songs that we sang are really very traditional. Of cos I dun expect funky songs la, because it is a funeral service. Anyway, none of us sang along as we cant catch and cant read the chinese wordings. haha. Then after each song, the pastor would share some thoughts. Then after 3 songs, there was 5 mins pause, this is the time where close friends, relatives or family members, can come forward and share their feelings towards the deceased. The last one to came up was the grandson ( Carmen's brother ). The first word he spoke, he already broke down in tears. He said, the night before his grandma fall in the toilet, he just hugged and said goodnight to her. ANd his grandma also told him that there are food in the fridge. It can be heated up for breakfast. And then he ended saying he miss and love his grandma very very very much. Tears also welled up my eyes when I saw that scene. Personally I do not know Carmem's grandma at all. But I can understand the feeling of losing a grandparent. I went thru that b4. . .

After that pause, the pastor started sharing a short sermon on Life Journey. His definition of Life Journey, is from the day that we are born till we enter gates of eternity. Then he started saying the peace from God has nothing to do with worldly happiness, or fortune. After so much of talking, I can only remember one thing, the peace of God is the best gift that one can receive. The comfort from God goes beyond what we can receive of find from the world. Just like the loss of a love one, what on earth can we buy to replace the loss. But only God can give you peace to counteract the loss...

Everytime after visiting a funeral, I always tell myself to treasure and cherish the people around us. Don't regret only when they are gone. This time, is no any different from the last visitation.

Cherishing,
Freda

Cell Group Tomorro!!!

Its finally cell group tomorro. Haha. The last cell group was cell outing at the Mind's cafe 2 weeks ago. HCG 02, needs to build more bonding ya? Attendance have been going low low low low. Not that I am discouraged about it, but just felt that People are ironic. They can be committed else where but not church. Somehow I felt that I have lost the thinking of a non Christian. Being a Christian for 6 years plus, I find all reasons to come to church. But forgotten the way to attract non christian to church. I mean I have bascially expect non christian to behave like a christian. I expect them to know its important to come church blah blah blah. But, to them, why must I come? Even so called baby christian, wont truly understand the importance of coming. So gradually you see lesser of them. haha.

I felt my expectations towards them are too high, which makes me feels down at times. So, it time that I do my best & leave the rest to God. As what Pastor said, the turning point or transformation of a christian life takes 5 years. Thus, I shall be patient. There are just people out there that you have to be patient with them again and again. That's people ministry. Not easy, tough, irritating, but challenging and satisfying. haha. I am gonna love it more and more. Its really a test of patience. haha.

Just wanna give special thanks to my core members, Jordan, Sylvia, Regina. Thanks for all your help. I know its not easy to bear with me or my way of working. Thanks for being tolerating towards me. haha, tomorro will be the first official cell group of the year. Let's work hard for this year ok?? haha. ok, shall be back to my work. haha. Cya. :)

Love,
Freda

Yeah. My Blog has finally completed!

It really takes me a day to complete my blog man. haha. I edited the whole blog myself. I am really proud of myself. I did it without asking any help from anyone. You might be thinking, its that easy. Where is there a need to ask anyway. Haha. The initial blog was in a mess ok. the words are squeezy, the lines are squashed. The fonts are ugly, and so on. haha. Its really nice after I have edited...bhb

The reason I chose this blogskin is beacuse it is simply so natural. And the pic of these 2 hands gave me a very peaceful sight. It reminds me that, right from the start, God made man to have relationship with him. And he made man and woman to have a love relationship with one another. Whether you are man or woman, God will always put someone in your life to see you through seasons of life. Personally, I met many people and many failed. Whether they are parents, sisters or friends. I have never get bitter with people. I am still looking forward to who God will put in my life. haha. is it you???

I will always believe, only when there is 2 then it will become one. haha. If you get what I mean. If you have seen many failed or negative relationships, don't get bitter with life or people. There will always be a couple who will show you the difference. Haha. will it be me??? haha.

Currently, while I was blogging, I am actually not feeling well. I blogged with a pale face, as the monthly cramps are making me going bonkers. Its is really internal struggle and internal fights. I went to the toilet thrice, because I tot I have to pass motion, but its actually the cramp that is pressing on my... Ouchs and tears are waiting to burst inside of me. ahha. I cant even sit straight. Haiz. PAIN...

Ok, I shall stop blogging. Time to rest. Update soon. haha.

In pain...

Today is the DAY...

Today will be the day whether I will be given a chance to join a life changing organisation in my own context. haha. Remember, I told you guys that I wanna be a Character Montessori Teacher? Yeah, I will be going down to meet Uncle Kok Keong today. All thanks to Pastor for the kind arrangement. I am someohow excited and startled by what is going on in my life. Opps. haha.

The interview will be at AMK Character Montessori after working time. Pastor just asked me to go after work, din give me any other instructions. Goodness. alamak, I was so nervous that I had tummy thrice today. End up, I went to pray. haha. Asking God to give me the confidence to speak. People say Uncle Kok Keong is a nice person, just stern on the appearance. But the appearance is enough to kill someone like me man. haha. I used to call him "Uncle" Kok Keong when I see him around. But today, how should I address him? Mr Ng? So funny. Drastic change of culture man. haha. However, I really prayed that everything will go right and smoothly. I pray that my request to him will be answered by God. Yeah! God makes all things POSSIBLE! Amen???

Well, these few days I am quite hard working in the office I guess. Time seems to pass faster than usual. But still, there is another 50mins before knocking off. haha. I tell myself, I really cant wait to leave this place, but I really missed the kindness of the people here. God is faithful to allow me to work in a place that I feel there is no Office Politics or people killng one another. Working in Sanyo is like working as a family. Haha, they are really kind towards me. I felt like a princess here. haha. But, I believe I won't grow any better if I continue to stay, because Sanyo is my comfort zone. I will slacken if I do not leave ASAP!! haha. Thus, I am very looking forward to tonight's meeting. haha. Pray for me guys. haha.

God is GOOD, all the Time. God is GOOD, God is GOOD. ALL THE TIME. hahaa.

Lifting all my prayers into YOUR HANDS,
Freda

I AM PROUD OF MYSELF!!!

You must be wondering why I must be so happy to blog that I am proud of myself. haha. I shall reveal the truth here. Have you visited Pauline's blog? If you have not, you better view it now, or else she will come after you with a KNIFE!! Joking. ahaha. Call Police pls, anybody? haha.

After lunch, Pauline called and asked me whether I know how to change blogskin. Without much thoughts, I said YES swiftly. haha. But actually knowing that I am half bucket of water. I can only copy and paste the html. haha. But, I took sometime to figure it out on changing it. haha. I even add in a chat box for her. Amazing. I used to depend on others when I changed my blog skin. For my current blog skin, I engaged the help of Candy and Regina to help me. Can you believe it? haha. So that's the main reason that I am proud of myself. haha.

Probably this year is to learn independency. I may seemed to be very independent to all of you, but only to a certain extent. I believe its time that I learn things myself, and helped myself up. If you did not depend on yourself, then don't ever think of depending on others. Because, If "others" don't depend on themselves first, then how can they help you??? or who is there for you to depend on? You catch what I am saying? We have 2 roles. One is youself and one is "others". Read through it again, if you dun understand. haha.

Last cell group was good, we have a total attendance of 10 pax. Although there are 5 cell members who cannot make it. DO make it a point to join us the next time ok? We went Bugis Junction's Food Junction for dinner, And my dinner was a Vegetarian Curry! I was simply disgusted by it. IT WAS A MISTAKE!!! Only people who were there can understand how disappointed I am with the food!!!!!. I just felt cheated man!!!Anyway, we proceeded to Mind Cafe at Purvis St. We had a hard time locating that place man. Everybody there were like LU CHI. haha. Well, We still made it there in the end. It was a Boardgame cafe. We had drinks and games. haha. All the drinks glasses were so tall and beautiful. The games were fun. At least I enjoyed myself. haha. ANd I even joined their membership. The main benefit was that 10% off dining and games. haha. If you need that, you are always welcome to borrow from me. haha.

Ok, 15mins more to knocking off. Each day is a beautiful day that God has given me! I am LOVING IT!!!

Love God,

Freda

Sensitive....

Having sensitive skin on my face now. It just feels so itchy!!! Haiz. I take very good care of my face, I always try not touch my face, and I HATE people to touch my face too!!! If you know me la. hahaha. Shucks. really itchy. haiz.

Today I woke up late. I woke up at 8.48am. It is my working time, so by the time I rushed to my office, it would 9.40am. So, I rather take half day leave than to be late. haha. Then I woke up and did some housechores and washed my inner garments(something which I am always lazy to do). haha. So, its actually a fruitful morning, luckily I did not waste this half day. haha. Completed everything and left for work at 12pm. haha.

Now waiting to knock off. yeah. Can't wait for cell outing yeah!! Update on this later on. Cya.

Excited,

Freda

KL / QUIET! and listen to God...

I think this will be a long post. hhah. I AM BACK!!!! Happy to see me? haha.

I was back on Jan 1, like 10pm. It was a super long trip. We left home on Dec 30 at 6am, and took the coach at 7pm. We reached KL at 130pm. It was a 6.5 hours trip to and 6 hours fro. Wow. My back and butt hurts man. Haha. but it was an memorable experience. The coach has TV to entertain, and the couch have flexibility, i mean we can adjust higher, lower, more front and more back. But the super long journey has top the negative factor for going to KL. haha. We stayed at Berjaya Times Square Hotel. It is considered a 5 Star Hotel. Well, indeed it is 5 star, we loved it! The suite simply just statisfy our needs. The comfortable bed, sofa, TV, bathroom, toilets. Wow. It is really big! I mean Big, for the amount that we paid. The amount we paid for the Hotel in KL, cant get you a night stay at 5 star Hotel in Singapore. Serious. It is a luxury to be able to stay there. That Hotel is special. Reason being the Building consist of Shopping Mall from 1st to 10th storey, Offices from 11th to 13th storey. And lastly 14th storey onwards is our Hotel. We stayed on the 26th storey. So, Can you imagine how high is the building? haha.

We ate Uncle's Duck for lunch at Berjaya Time Square. The Spicy Fishballs, Manga sago and Century Eggs are a MUST EAT when you visit. It is simply delicious. Price is affordable. I just simply missed it!!! Next, we shopped a while at Mango, and just the first shop, I already spent RM100 on a sweater and top. Crazy right? ALL shops are having sale la. Irrisistable TEMPTATIONS!! haha. Then we head to KL's China Town. It is Pasa Malam Style. Something similar to the China Town in Singapore. Even the junction seems similar. It is really crowded. And they were like selling faked Branded Goods there la. And even at a point there were Police Raid and many illegal sellers were like running and rushing off with ther portable carts. haha. One whole stretch. Those sellers were like helping one another to move faster. I feel they really have Team Spirit but for the wrong motive. Then we had our dinner there. We ate Chicken Claypot Rice. Wow, they cooked the claypot rice using the Tradional method which is thru the Charcoal. The taste and smell just melts your whole being. haha. ANd we also order the oyster sauce vege and Stingray. The stingray is very different from Singapore's. They have add on ingredients like crab meat and ladies finger and long beans. Even the gravy is different, but much nicer then what you have eaten from Singapore. Well, Thumbs up!! haha. We also ate Min Chiang Kueh. It is the kueh stuff with peanuts and suger. hhaa. It is sweet enough to suit my taste bud. hah. They also used the charcoal way to make the kueh. Wow, nice nice. haha. Then we head back to Cold Storage in Berjaya Time Square to get some drinks for the few days. haha. And then backed to the Hotel. We put on mask and slept at 1130pm. Really tired. Dozed off...

Next morning, we had our breakfast buffet at the Hotel and then we start spreeing off to shopping. Regina is right, KL is all about Shop Shop Shop, and not forgetting to EAT EAT EAT! Haha. I put on 2 kg I think. hahaha. New year's resolution is to LOSE LOSE LOSE WEIGHT! haha. So after Breakfast, we went to KLCC, Bukit Bintan and shop shop shop. We took monorail for our transport, and it is really crowded. Their Monorail is twice the size of our LRT. And their LRT is 1/3 size of our MRT. haha. You will say Thank God for you are in Singapore when you take their Transport. It is so stuffy, dirty and squeezy. eeeeeeeee and yucks!!! Last but not least, we ate a fabulous dinner at the Pavilion. The restaurant is Crystal Jade 3 Meals, funny name but nice food. haha. We walked for like an hour to search wats up for dinner ok. Literally 1 hour. The place is so big., of cos it takes time to walk from 1 place to another. And the NEw YEar's set meal were all so expensive. So we just settle for ala carte. But somehow. it turned out much nicer and cheaper than set meals. haha. We have Grilled Seafood Combo and Grilled Meaty Combo, Orange Duck and salty sotong, and asppragus soup and mushroom soup. haha. 2 milk tea and 2 ice lemon tea. all cost RM189.10. Each person only cost S$20. Very cheap leh. The food quanity is alot. so its really worth it. You curely cant get that if you eat at any restaurants in Singapore. haha. Then last stop of the day is to get our INNER WEARS haha. Well, too explicit to share here. We spent around 2 hours at the Wacoal Shop and it was definitely a well taught lesson by the sales assistant on our BB. haha. ALL 4 Ladies spent a Total about RM700+ on inner wears. So, you can imagine, how convince we are. haha. Then we head back to Hotel. It was a hard time getting back as the streets are full of people getting Ready for 2008 CountDown. Phew. We got back at the Hotel at 11pm. Then we bathed and packed our bags and the we countdown for 2008 at the Hotel room. hhaa. Fireworks just filled the whole sky. It was gorgeous!! haha. Then I received some SMS wishes from you guys. Thank you very much. haha. Then we ate some Ice cream shake ( it is supposed to be Ice Cream, but the freezer failed us!!), and some pastrys and grapes that we bought at China Town. And of cos we have our JOLLY SHANDY that we bought from Cold Storage. haha. After all the food, we only turned in at around 2+am. zzzzzZzz.

The last day, we still spent our breakfast at the Hotel. Food not as fantastic as the day before. But still we ate and consume as much as we can. haha. Cos its free ma. Typical Singaporeans, cannot blame. hahha. Joking. Then with the last 5 hours that we had before setting off to Singapore. We Shop and shop and shop at Sungei Wang and Pavilion. haha. The last 5 hours got us like 6-7 shopping bags. Power Women!! haha. Finally after all the shoppings, we bought Marry Brown Burgers for dinner on the coach. haha. Then We left...

Ok, finally finished blogging on the trip. I shall blogged on my Title now. haha. We went to watch I AM LEGEND at Bishan last night, it was a show that makes you think. Moral of the story. Be Quiet and listen to God. It is not as boring as others said. If you are a Christian, I urged you to watch. haha. Be a legend...

this is how it ended,
