all i want for 2009 is..

to hear Your voice..

so much have happened this year.. as i think about what has happened the past 2 years, things that happened during childhood also came to mind.. that God has actually been in my life since young, without me really knowing, that i've had His favor since that special moment in kindergarten..

and as i think about 2009, the things that i would like to do.. (so many.. haha) i realize that the only thing that matters most is for me to hear Your voice..

just as i'm thinking about hearing Your voice being all i need.. i came upon this website that helps in hearing God's voice (was actually just browsing random christian graphics from the net.. or so i thought.. :P)

thank you Lord for always being there for me and telling me so clearly !! :)

princess

haven't spent time with my nieces and nephew for almost 2 weeks, missed them much, was wondering how they've been, whether they'd still be close to me..
well, last night i finally got to meet them, and the first words they said to me was "hello princess!" :)

i couldn't play with them for long, and when i left for guitar practice, the eldest was making a gift for me..
she said i could open it when i get home later
i waited till the next morning so i could open it with her..
and she presented it to me with such big smiles!! :)

this is the gift she made me..

and she wrapped it so beautifully in a gift box!

that's love..
Praise You Lord! Thank You Lord for such love!

birthday blessings

woke up on my birthday to this wonderful surprise from tin, our live-in homemaker from myanmar.. she's been with us for just a few months.. she calls me sister :) it superwarmed my heart when i found the bright and jolly card thoughtfully hidden underneath the usual breakfast sandwich that she prepares for me daily:)

that started my day wth such warmth and joy, thank you Jesus!

later that morn, mom shared that my pre-school niece had been wondering aloud as to what she shld get for my bday, well, knowing that she had actually thought about getting me a gift, has already blessed my heart so.. as we were on the way to lunch, she decided that it'd be the beautiful painting that she had painted at an art competition..


i love it.. thank you God for this gift you've given to her, i pray that You let her use it to bless many many more people in her life

***

me and my nephew shares the same bday!
he's gotten an electric guitar for his bday!!
God bless him and teach him new songs and worship that pleases God's heart
love to watch and hear him twang :)


we had a lovely bday lunch together rite after his bday celebration at kindergarten
and here's my nieces singing me d bday song! how beautiful!!


that evening was ministry cell and each one was to find 5 other people to do prophesy with. was deeply touched and much blessed by God's words..
.. first person who paired up with me received a picture of my feet in mud and dirt with the words "beautiful are the feet of those who share the gospel", and also had a vision of me dancing and worshipping!! both me and my first partner needed tissues when we were done.. :)
.. the following 4 messages were also spot on and had me deeply moved

was amazed how my bday blessings spilled over to the next day.. at guitar class, the teacher blessed me with a guitar strap that had Psalms 40:1-2 engraved on it!

he just decided to bring it along, thinking of giving it to whoever testified that morn, and it just happened to be me, who for the first time in guitar class who had daringly volunteered to testify God's goodness with a song that God had blessed me with.

the verse spoke to me and i couldn't help but burst into tears as he read it to the class, and i was awed and speechless when he turned and handed it to me after he finished reading the verse.. thank you Lord!! i'm so blessed. and i only realized that he had it especially engraved, a long time ago, when i had went up to thank him later, and share how i'm blessed by the verse.. which God had just told me the night before.. through the other prophecies i'd received..

God keeps affirming that He's my Savior, my Healer, my Redeemer, my Rock, my All, my Everything!! that i am saved and safe in His arms for always. i love You Lord!!

pictures from soaking session

here are some of the pictures and words received by God's little darlings during soaking at our cell meeting on 19 Sep 08

we had an awesome time, thank you Lord!!

old pictures

colleagues were looking for dance costume ideas, rummaged & dug up old pics from dance, particularly liked this underwater slideshow.. :)

orb or..

been prompted to write a testimony since yesterday but didn't know where to start
went on the internet, looking for a nice image on "The Lord my healer" and instead chanced upon a blog abt angel orbs

it's the first time i've heard this term
the dust particle explanation seemed logical, it was really quite dusty there but we took lots of pics during the trip and only this one had this circle of light

i only noticed this circle of light in this pic abt a month after returning from our mission trip in nepal.
our team felt the holy spirit moving strongly during ministry, and it was amazing to see how God led little children from the neighbourhood to us and 12 pre-believing children received salvation!

i had never seen this before and thought God wanted to to show us visibly that prayer moves the spiritual realm..
mission teammates who saw it after i asked them to look at the pic again, also thought it had to do with God as we had all felt God moving our hearts then.



whatever it is, we know God is real (because of the amazing love peace and joy He has put in our hearts, because of the personal testimonies He has blessed us with) and that He loves us very much

see God's word about light from bible verse

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will hav the light of life.
John 8:12

Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me.
Psalm 43:3

You are my lamp O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light.
2 Samuel 22:29

1 John 1:5 (New International Version)
Walking in the light
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

"The LORD is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid?"
Psalm 27:1

what i'm wearing this sunday

what a blooper.. i won't be able to lead worship for sunday school coz it's supposed to be on 25th, not 24th nov, and i have acf performance on 25th.. double checked with anne last week and she's confirmed that it'd be on 25th, not 24th..
* * * * *
and this is what i'd be wearing for the acf show.. as a singing, talking tree
was tasked to find a dress at short notice and managed to find this lovely dress just last wednesday
quite close to weiyan's designs eh?
what i like about it..

it's simple, not too loud

it has a tassled hem..

it sparkles!

even on the straps..

and i'm to wear this flowery headdress, custom made by a fellow "tree" who kindly made it extra large coz she thought i wanted mine extra huge.. lol
it's lovely and am really appreciative of her efforts

oh look, i've gotten green shoes to match the outfit as well..

daNceTitUde 2007

daNceTitUde 2007 was a blast!! enjoyed every minute of it, from the first rehearsal to the post-concert suppers.. haven't been dancing for the longest time in my life since i picked up dance and this has brought back fond memories of good old mad-about-dance days ~ sigh ~

it felt really cosy catching up and hanging out with long-time dancemates who are now each busy with work and life, and meeting new frens who are passionate about dance

had intended to quit dancing for good after the concert, but now i'm itching to start dancing all over again!

acting pics

hmmm.. some stretching exercises to start with

acting roles

here's some of the photos taken at filming sessions..



frens have been asking about showtimes for the roles i've done, but am pretty clueless, save for the mtv games :

nov 2007 updates:

recently played nurse cecilia woo for episode 11 of chinese drama "mi tu"



played a singing-talking-dancing tree at Asian Children Festival 2007
performing to a live audience is exhilarating, especially so as the kids were ultra spontaneous and apparently enjoyed the show tremendously

daNceTitUde

i dun have pics for acting bits with me at the moment, here are some dance pics for now..

my first post

was talking to lehlioman about a recent spate of casting calls and acting jobs, and he commented that i should start a blog.. sort of a picture record of the roles i've done, & that it'd be fun. haven't been conscientiously taking pictures during the filming so far but am quite happy to take up this suggestion. some of the roles conjure up hilarious memories as i now recall the pics that i might put up. it does seem fun already
