His Princesses

A really fantastic trip to Kranji farms! Thank God for the great food, fantastic weather and lots of joy and laughter! I sure everyone enjoyed themselves and looking forward to our next outing! Lots of love princesses! Princess Farm trip~

Let HIM lead


I walk and i fail, i let myself go ahead and i stumble and fail. I often fail when i don't let my Father in Heaven lead me. I become scared and i thought it's going to be the end, i can never pass through this big wall. But our Lord never fails, He will use the divine moments, to grab you and carry you on. He leads us though our toughest moments. We just need to trust in Him. Stop trying so hard on your own. Let our Father guide us through. If may seems that He is not answering our prayer, not helping us, but that is Faith. The willingness to wait on our Father and trust that he will guide us through. This is when you will see His amazing work in our lives!

Awakening the soul through PRAYER!!!

1 Samuel 3:1-11
Prayer is waiting on God
Prayer is listening to God
Prayer is action with God

Secret hideout



Eugene and i finally had quality couple time together after near 2 months. We found a nice beautiful place to chilllax~ yippee! We going there for a mini picnic again on wed evening:)

Act of Love-Food


The youth leaders had a prayer meeting last friday and we were encouraged to fast. But i had to cook and made myself a lovely lunchbox for dinner, but felt bad abt eating it. So i decided to give to 师母for dinner. I really wanted to eat it because it was my first time making the sweet crispy firm tofu( spent an hour just making it!), i was tempted it eat it!!! But i guess an act of love is really giving something that you really want to someone else. Inspired by Jaeson Ma's 365 days of love:)

I must intro Vegan Yum Yum!
This lady and her blog is living evidence that it is possible to eat healthily, yummily and environmental-friendly-ly! thank God i found her fantastic blog! Those of you who thinks that you need meat to survive or have a fantastic meal, this fantastic lady has proven you wrong!! I tried her thai-style firm tofu recipe today! It tasted totally fantastic! I'm so glad to find a person who enjoy firm tofu(tau kua) as much as me and and has come out with such great variation to such a simple ingredient! Her link is to your right~

I must be truthful , this is my blog and i have the right to voice my opinions
Let me state out the reasons why you should go vegetarian/vegan:
-Meat Consumption causes more pollution to our earth than all our transport
-Rearing the animals is a terrible waste of our resources, 16 pounds of grains to produce 1 pound of meat
-The world no longer has Old-Macdonald-has-a farm, there are only farm FACTORIES, the 'meat' you consume is just a genetically produced animal and the harm it will cause in your health way surpass the benefits(calcium, iron etc.)
-You won't kill an animal, so why will you let other people commit such cruelty for you? there is a reason why factory farm animals are abused, many workers(you animal killers) vent their frustration and stress on the animals
-Antibiotics human consumes is 3 billion pound each year while farm factory animals consume 25 BILLION!

There are many more reasons, which i may mention next time. But don't try to argue or deny these facts, i have been studying and reading about meat consumption for about 2 months and read articles and books. So i'm really stating facts here. Don't roll yours eyes or skip this post! IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS! I really encourage those who are not persuaded or wish to know more to read 'Eating Animals' by Johnathan Safran Foer. It is such a good book. The tone is humorous and sarcastic and he is not trying to be hard-core persuasive, he is really stating the facts of why you won't want to eat meat nor give it to people you love. He started writing the book because he was going to be a father and wanted to know what goes on in the meat industry before allowing his son to consume meat. Well, in the end i think his little boy is a vegan and i think the point behind his book is love.

If you love your family and friends, you won't let them eat meat. Not persuaded? Read Eating Animals! God Bless:)

Love that is so great

Photo of my mummy and i
yes i was a fat and chubby baby
the only thing i came in first in my life was probably the baby contest

i went blog hopping and came across a few blogger mummy
maybe that's why i have the mummy-ish feeling now
i came across a graphic designer + mum
it's so cool to be a designer + mummy at the same time

we may not realize it
but our mums are probably the most 伟大 people
that are the closest to us

a few days ago my mum bought a purse for yu rou
and a bag for 'us' (the 3 older sisters)
i decided to claim it as my own
haha because my mum seldom buy stuff like these for us
it makes me feel happy just carrying a bag that my mum bought

the least scary thing about growing up is having kids and a happy family
and our future big family gatherings
that my sisters and i will often imagine during bed time
we will each cook a (vegetarian) dish
and gather at our parents' house
and have a great family time together:)

Relax, take it easy


The craziest and stress-est and tired-est time of my life is over
it was so totally tired that it felt unreal...
it was only 2 weeks? but it felt like 2 months..
i really want to thank Yu Han and Eugene for making it possible
without their love and help...
i won't be alive...

now i feel a bit lost and weird
like unable to get over the fact that i no longer carry the heavy burden of work
oh and i'm ending 2nd year and starting 3rd year...
UNREAL
time flies~~

now the BIG question lies in front of me
to go OSIP or not?!?!
if i choose to go i'll just be one big selfish person
if i choose not to go... hai... i don't think i'll ever get to go india in the near future

Dear Heavenly Father!
Help! i don't know what to do!!!
