yaayy!! got an oven... finally!! a workable oven.... God has answered my prayers of a few years haha... hmmm.... my stupid existing oven (passed down from the previous owner of the house)... so does not work... always kana trip each time we try to use.... then whole house blackout... then Pa and Ma have been saying for a thousand yrs that they 'intend' to buy a new oven.... but since yrs ago it's always been... an intention... and only there... haha... then rite, today, out of the blue, all of a sudden 'er yi ma' (mummy's 2nd sis) just called up to tell us she wanna give us her oven cuz she got no use for it and she bought another one already.... my goodness... to cut a longer story short, in the evening 'wu yi' (5th sister) and her husband deliver it to our place... and her husband fixed all the plugs and what not for us... Praise God for him... or no one in my family would noe how to do it... typical engineer quality... i watched in awe... haha.... and............ YAaY!!! I finally have an oven.... and rite, we discovered that er yi ma had never used it before... cuz it was too big or sthg and she never knew where to put it and use it... now, wat kinda excuse is that? haha... well anw, now i can relive the times when i used to bake stuff during secondary sch... using my toaster oven then (which is spoilt now)... yea... those were the days... me and Clifton would just buy all the ingredients and stay in the kitchen the whole day and make the pastries... then cuz it was only a toaster, i remember we had to put the dough in the oven over and over again till it was cooked.... haha... and there was always the fear that the toaster will over exhaust itself cuz really, baking is NOT part of the functions of a toaster oven... (hehe once we saw smoke coming outta it and we got so paranoid that we stopped doing anything with it for quite a while haha)... hmmm yea haha i remember baking cookies with it once too... wow i remember i did it all by myself.... really, that was so really outta love for my teachers... it was gonna be teachers day... and like i just suddenly felt like trying to bake cookies... my first and only attempt so far... and it was, miraculously, a tremendous success.... and i maintain, it was completely outta love that i did it so successfully.... it was esp for Ms Yip who offered to pay for my grad nite ball cuz i couldn't afford it then... whoa.... :)
well anw, i never 'baked' anymore e'er since the toaster oven spoiled... *sigh.... but now! Yaay!!! haha i can bake all i want now!!! and not limit myself to just pastries and cookies... Cakes too now!!! God is reawi so good to me!!! Oh man, i feel like staying home to bake tmr... rather than go meet xh... hmmm... hahaha...

hmmm i'm supposed to be reading my course pack for soci now..... but like i'm totally not in a reading mood now.... oh man... i'm in a floating floating mood again... hahaha.... like the world belongs to moi... haha... Really really... my God is so good.... Really!! Haha yea... like this morning (or noon for that matter) when i woke up, the song that Daren was asking the lyrics for just came to my mind..... and i really wanted to find it... 'Love You so much'. Such a lovely song.... I was so sure that i had the disc cuz this is really one of those songs where when i'm listening to it i could just put everything down and start worshipping... hmmm... and so began my hunt for the cd... i looked over almost everywhere..... but like cudn't find it la..... then rite, as i was like giving up, i went over to the hi fi set, and saw one of mummy's new cds, Shout to the Lord, which was given to her last Christmas by Aunty Bessy if i'm not wrong... now that CD... i never took the initiative to listen to it cuz i thought the cover was not nice and hence the songs wudn't be too nice either... haha.... yea anw, i took up the disc... looked at the song list at the back.... and lo and behold... guess what song was there..... yep.... Love You so much!!! haha at first i wasn't sure if it was that one, then i played it on the hi fi and whoa... it was.... i was so filled in the Spirit.... whoa..... wah immediately i just took my pen and paper and wrote the lyrics down for Daren.... hmmm well i decided on email later on though... but that's besides the point... yea anyway, i continued listening to the cd... and it was really good..... wow... see, i still don't noe which other cd did this song appear in... and i still can't find... but God was still so good!!! Letting me find another disc with the same song inside, plus several other songs which are so good!!! WHoa......
Ok that's one thing that happened.... then another thing..... hmmm somehow i was just like led to msg Yinshan, telling her Jesus loves her and that nomatter what fatigue she faces, He's always with her... then like she replied by saying that was really wat she needed and i felt so encouraged....
I really really love it so much when i can be a beacon of light for pple, being blessed to be a blessing... Really really... And my Daddy God sees everything i do from where He is and He's pleased with me.... :)

hmmm ok here i am.... blogging... at 2 am plus.... today... i am happy.... i went to the night safari with me daddy..... hmmm wasn't able to take any real good shots of the animals cuz it was so dark... haha... so defeats our purpose... rather, my purpose... but well i had fun.... initially i planned to blog a whole lot of words..... but i'm so sleepy now so i shall just post some photos... oh but before that, i gotta comment... just now i happened to bump into one of my frens.... won't mention who in case someone who knows him reads this... haha... well i realised, that he has a very nice nose... ok Pearlyn's outta pt... but really.... happened to glance at him and realised... i mean, he's not like handsome or wat, but his nose is really very ermmm... just nice, not too sharp nor too err flat? haha..... anw, moving rite along................ ok photos...........

finally, on my way out of night safari....................


okaes that's all i'll post haha.... so so sleepy..... yawns....... not gonna elaborate.....
oh before i end.... gotta add.... wa lao.... just now me and pa tried to take photo at the shell station near our place... then the stupid woman inside the mart happily used the microphone to shout at us.... tell us cannot take photo.... wa lao how malu.... then the whole busstop at the front turned around to look la.... how malu is malu???? then like we went to the busstop.... and the stupid 171 took like eons to come.... man.... this trains the thickness of skin man....... malu malu.... okaes.... i'm gonna go now.... really really.... super sleepy.....

ok this is quite.... ermmm.... cuz it's my 3rd entry of the day... in less than... 5 hrs? haha.... well but i gotta record this down... There's so much love around...... just now i witnessed a classic example of nature's beauty.........................

a cat. waiting to pounce at a whole group of little birds. waiting. waiting. patience. lunch is nigh. the distance. the anticipation. as the birds draw closer. the cat lies lower. in greater alert. the targets' gonna fall into the lion's den. Anticipation. with a capital A!
All of a sudden. a crow. it swoops down gracefully from where it's situated. high above from one of those trees where no one sees. not that no one knows. just that no one notices. no one pays heed. a crow. where's the link? ugly. black. noisy. serves no purpose to society. just there. everyone has bad impressions of it. snatcher of foods. attacker of humans when it pleases. yet. at an urgent moment. at a moment where no one else sees. no one else cares. it swoops down mightily. yet with a touch of grace. to where the little flock lies. a warning. to scatter the birds. the cat is scared. frightened by the sudden attack of the crow. it flees. the birds. they fly up to where no enemy can reach them. no cat. the crow. the hero. the silent hero. the protector. no credits given. it swoops away in that majestic aray. back into the silence. away from any limelight. the magnificence. whoever would have thought. the beauty. of all that nature consists. nothing made without a purpose. everything made for goodness. Pearlyn tears. yes she tears. she is awed. awed by the magnificence of all that nature holds. awed by the majestic countenance of the otherwise unknown, despised bird of prey. She is sentimental no doubt. yet how much awe she feels. so much love around her.
A beautiful picture thus painted. painted of her Lord that loves her so much. watching over her in the silence. there. always there. when danger draws near He is there. ready to pounce at her enemy. ready to protect her at all cost. where no one else sees. no one else bothers. He sees everything. the bigger picture. From high above the heavens. the magnificence of her Lord. yet often misunderstood by the world. as one who kills. one who destroys. if only. if only they know of the love He has. if only they know how much He yearns to protect. to protect His flock from all danger. I indeed choose to dwell under the shadow of the almighty. the shadow of the overseer from the heavens. who comes through at the very moment in need...............................

Haha my goodness.. i dono wat's come over me today, that i'm writing like this. maybe it's Phaemie's blog... haha... but i really enjoy it... it's been quite a while since i expressed myself in such a way.... so... whoa.... i love it la anyway...

haha i don't know wat flow is this? but...... well i just feel like typing and typing and typing... hmmm.... i love who i am... i love all before me and all after me... i love the music i'm listening to as i'm typing this... i love the pleasantness that makes my heart melt on the inside of me... i love the feeling as though i'm floating now... as though life's just all nice and perfect... in my little world in the boundaries of my room and my laptop... i love knowing that as i'm typing this, everyone's engaged in different activities... the whole world.... mystical, magnificent.. sing... hum... i love just sitting here... sitting here and chatting... or simply just enjoying the weirdly nice feeling i'm experiencing... i love thinking... thinking about everything... somehow nothing bad interrupts my thoughts now... i'm dreaming.. a dreamer..... i love just not having anything on my mind... i must be lost... lost but in enchantment... must be the music... i love the way my papa comes by my room to ka chiaw me... in all loveliness.. i just love everything i feel now.. i wish time halts... to allow me to sink in sink in... but no... it shan't halt... shan't halt for me... but well that does not matter... does not at all.. there are better things out there.. awaiting awaiting... and my Father does not just want me to sink in this world of fantasy here... He wants me to know that outside, there's a world of heaven on earth for me to keep on keep on walking... keep on keep on bringing joy amidst... Wooo how can i bear not to mention Him? Even as i started out planning not to do so... He's so huge a part of my life.. So a part of delicate Pearlyn.. So... i'm just lost... in all enchantment, in all His love encompassing me......................... i don't want to stop.. don't want to stop typing... i wana go on.... go on and on.... i'm so enjoying this...... time of tranquility.... time of captivation... by everything that surrounds me... but......... alas... i must..... i must go...... i must stop..... a new day begins....... i go with peace and joy......... :)

Lord it's in Your hands... :) Annddd.... even if i don't get anything this yr or wat, Lord, i have You!! my greatest gift!! My love!! And i know u'll show me a totally memorable v-day like nv before... and i'll most certainly be joyous in the Lord... in His special touch!! woooo.... looking forward!!!

In Your presence, In Your presence, there is peace, sweet peace.
In Your presence, in Your presence, there is joy!!!

Hmmm anyways.... just came back from church and then watching soccer.... hahaha.... hmmmm... Pearlyn watching soccer??? Well..... just cuz it's the finals and Singapore's in it!! Of course i wana give my homeground support la!!! Praise God!! haha!! welll...... it was good! oh man lionel lewis rocks!! MVP!! He so deserves it!!! His bod's damn good la.... haha... Oh well... ;p
Anndddd..... today, i brought a friend to church... well i don't even noe if he cud be considered my fren la.... cuz i really don't exactly noe him.... God is so good la.... Using me to lead pple into my church via...... an incident of me selling my textbook??? Oh man!! He sets me in AWE with a big capital A!!! wat happened, was that i put my IT1003 textbook up online to be sold... then this guy msg'd me one day to ask if it was still available... Then later on he asked me for my msn add so that it'd be easier to contact if anything... then online rite, he happened to see my display pic and so asked me if i was doing some volunteer work or sthg... and i replied by saying that no... cuz i serve in my church nursery hence the pic... Now, usually rite, if i talk to like non Christians or pple whom i don't noe if they're Christians, i'd usually just say i'm helping out... But somehow, i felt ok to say serve that time leh... Haha ok to cut a longer story short, basically later i found out that he was from cityharvest but wanting to leave and seeking to find a new church... so, i just recommended NCC to him... yea... And like the day before yesterday, all of a sudden he just msg'd me and asked if my offer to take him to church was still on... Hmmm... so.... he was in church today.... and, it's only the 2nd time i'm meeting him apart from me selling my textbook to him... Oh man.... So...... WOW!! God works in marvelous ways!! And, i think he's staying on... whoa!!! Praise God man!!!

Lord You are so so good!!! so so good!!! Whoa!!!!! I'm so amazed!!! I'm so in awe!!!!!
