One source defines regret as “an intelligent and emotional
dislike for personal past acts and behaviors.” It’s painful to look back
at our choices through the lens of regret
In the heat of battle it is too late to prepare. Either you are ready
for the challenges of life or you will be haunted by the “what ifs,” “if
onlys,” and “I should’ves” that accompany the failure to be prepared.
That’s the pain of regret.
In the last 2 days, my understanding is now deepened. It really is only a thin line between trust and the trashy. I now know what to do.
May our choices today not result in regret, but rather be wise and God-honoring.

The good thing about Singapore is that you get Video EZY pretty much near lunch places. It's been awhile since we last rented movies. Probably the last time was in November last year. That's a good thing really. The man and I actually had more time to catch movies at the cinema during the holidays.
In fact, we especially decided to rent after watching The Rite. The man was saying how everytime things get to a climax and the movie will then take a pause and start to tone down. Well it is the making of a modern exorcist! So I told him if he wants some goosebumps, he should watch The Exocism of Emily Rose.
That's the first DVD 2. Shawshank Redemption (Because we were having lunch at Botak Jones and their new dish was named Lambshank redemption) 3. The Machinist (I love Christian Bale, that's why!) 
And... there dont seem to have many good movies lately. Sad.

Chinese New Year!
To be honest, it's nothing great. Not when you have ill-mannered cousins, who think the whole world owes them. The real tragedy, however lies with their parents. I dont need to elaborate how furious that made me. Days without the mother sure is tougher.

I usually keep the money in the ang pow packets and put it aside in my room.
Sorta like storing good feelings till I throw out the packets (without the $ in them la oi) at the end of 15 days, where new year officially ends. Sometimes I remove the cash to use in emergency when I really really don't have time to run to the bank.
On the bright side, I gathered most of my other loved ones had great fun, gambling til wee hours of the morning, stuffing themselves silly with food and getting lotsa ang baps (if you're not already married).
To many more better days ahead !

I must say i'm a bit sad 2010 is over… it was probably the best bittersweet days in my life yet…which i hope is a sign that the future ones are going to be even better and BETTER. *hello optimism!*
I don't believe in new year's resolutions… nor do i make any cos i know i'll never stick to them diligently unless it's because I REALLY WANT TO. So i've never bothered.
I have, however, made a few new life's resolutions. I really want to be healthier. Yes -_- I've come to some sort of stage when i realise my 'live fast die young' lifestyle might last longer if i treat my body better!
So i'm starting exercise in baby steps (confession: i don't… really… exercise >.<) My current plan is gym twice a week.
I felt really good and happy after that though, like giving people hugs and having a cup of Chai latte. Maybe it's my mind playing psychological tricks on me after i've heard from so many people how good exercise makes you feel.
Next, i want to grow closer to my beloved Father in heaven and my family on earth. In the last year, ive experienced tons of God's grace, mercy and love, leaving me wanting more more and more!
Attending LCG with the man, trying our best to be available for the bi-weekly sessions. Knowledge is power!
Lastly, one of the hardest things i set myself up, was to forgive. It's not instant, mind you. It doesnt just happen like - snap ya fingers - and its over. It's a process. Grace, grace and more God's grace.
Here's to a worry-less 2011, filled with more love going around.
*clinks imaginary glass*
Happy New Year!

So it's been a few weeks and no updates,
Work is eating me alive and sometimes I think the Asian do until die attitude in me is something people can take advantage of.
I've also been told that I should let go a little and not to care too much especially when it isn't my entire responsibility and I won't be hold accountable to it, but the fact is that I find that something difficult to do. When someone entrusts me with a task, I feel like I cannot afford to let them down... but I am also trying to teach myself that I don't have the capacity to please everybody.
On another note, gladly I came to realize I haven't woken up with a hangover in the longest time. Amen to that. (:
Besides that, other aspects in life have been great. Especially when life's a beach... and experiencing serenity in the heart of Malacca with the girls made all the difference.


Living my dreams ... so good !!

Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Have come to realise that how i treat a person at any point in time is pretty much always a direct reflection of how i am actually treating God at the moment. shocking and uncomfortable! So when i am annoyed, tired, cranky and stuff (which is.. fairly often i must admit. sigh. humanness.), i am actually brushing God off just as similarly. The stuff we do on the outside without thinking is the stuff our hearts are made of!
So i cannot change my attitude just.. like.. that! If i want to grow in respect with other people, i have to learn to rever and fear the Lord of Lords.
Thank you Lord for checking my heart, and caring about my heart condition.

There was once a time when I believed that two people could be happy, and love each other despite it all,
that good things happen to good people,
and that nice guys won't necessarily finish last.
I'm happy for others when happiness is bestowed upon them in the form of another human being, and despite being all cynical, there are days when I look longingly and wonder if I am living that life once again. Then after a minute, I know, at this point of time, I'm am - and right now, that's all I really need.

His love and faithfulness
Psalm 92:2 to proclaim Your love in the morning, and Your faithfulness at night..
This verse has been stuck on my phone for the past 2 weeks or so, and am seeing more and more everyday that this is the life i want – one that can always declare His love and remember the price of my salvation, and one that rests in His grace and faithfulness! How stable He is in my instability. when i remember His love, grace and faithfulness in my terrible sinful condition, it is the MOST exuberant and empowering feeling! It feels as though i can do anything in the world! He loves me, He really loves me!!
The world can take anything away from me, but in my meager existence thus far, i have realised that there are 2 things i desperately need.. the brokenness to admit i am an awful sinner; and the unconditional grace and love of God. combined together and you have.. a secure, safe and free little venetia (=
Bring joy to your servant, oh Lord, for to you i lift up my soul!

Today, i had the freedom to wake up at WHATEVER time I wanted… do you know how rare that is?! To wake up when you want – without contemplation of work, a monkey on your back regarding something you have to do, rushing to get ready to see a friend you have to meet, laundry to throw into the machine, chores you have to get done.
