Painted Skin

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Watched "Painted Skin" and found it a touching movie. No offence but at first i thought it would be a pure rubbish show. And the only reasons i would watch is it is to watch Zhao Wei and Donnie Yen. And true enough i really enjoyed their acting. Zhou Xun is not really my cup of tea though. Anyway, recommended by me. If you're into this kind of show it's worth a watch. =)

For Dawn

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Don't get too discouraged. As you slowly step into adulthood, you'll find that true friends are not exactly the ones who stick with you 24/7. Those are just very "eng" friends. Many times a true friend can't be there physically all the time due to a lot of commitments in life. But you'll never know maybe you're always always in their prayer list and that you are precious to them. Don't be too quick to come to a conclusion. True friendship must be tested! Maybe this time round is that even if they can't be there to have fun with you, will you still know in your heart and confess with your lips that they're your true friends. When you jump into conclusion, you might hurt them and they will think you won't understand. Why not try to understand and stand in their shoes. True friends or not slowly it will show. Excuses or not it will show too. So be patient and trust in God. Like i said to you all many times true friends are way hard to find. But it takes two hands to clap. Do your part on those you treasure and i know God will lead you to those who are worthy and count you as their treasure =)

Very Unwell

Had fever since last night. Feeling very unwell. Went to see a doctor and it was a really hot day. While on my way back from the doctor my head spin, whole body went numb, perspiring cold sweat and felt like vomiting. Feeling terrible now and no energy to cook or buy anything to eat. I need healing!!

Dedicated to FIONA!

Monday, October 27, 2008

Towards the last lap of 'O's.. Got to keep on keeping on! The joy of the Lord shall be your strength! Through all these years i've encountered many times that God provided His joy in down or stress times. And it brought me more than just a day or even a week's strength. But it's like a supernatural protection in every area of my life especially emotionally. That i will not be too affected by negative issues or even the circumstances that i do not desire. It just seem so possible and "can do" when the joy fill me. And i believe through this time God wants to let you experience this side of Him too. I believe it's His desire to give you His joy abundantly. Cling onto God and His goodness. Don't get too distracted by other things especially the negative ones as they are inevitable, temporary and draining. So be filled!! Hugs!!

A joke =)

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Here to share a joke again =)

A boy bought a parrot at a flea market. He brought it home but realized it's a vulgar parrot. The boy got angry with all the vulgarity and noise the boy scolded the parrot but the parrot got worse. It kept scolding worse vulgarities and more and more nasty. The boy couldn't take it anymore so he slam the parrot in his refrigerator's freezer and closed the door. The parrot began to scold even worse stuff and kept bangig at the door of the freezer. And suddenly, it stopped. The boy open the door and took the parrot out. And the parrot begin to say:

"I'm sorry for what i did and i promise i won't do it again. I will be good and i hope you will forgive me."

And before the boy can say anything the parrot continues:

"May i know what did the chicken do?"

Super Sunday!!

I'm really proud of Pst Kong! He stands firm on his convictions and always base on the truth and not just by his own understanding. It was a super good service =) Innocence is not virtue! Virtue is innocence tested!

After service went for netball game. Though my team kept getting the big zero, i enjoyed myself. To me is not about the winning or the losing. A simple game really reveal the true character of a person. And i shall not elaborate about that. But it was really a fun time and good fellowship =)

A Turning Around

Led a lousy praise at cg today. But somehow i didn't let it affect me. Just cut it off and move on and pray for God to come and touch the people. And indeed we had a great prayer meeting. Really blessed today because i learnt another thing about my God. =)

It's easy to dwell in failures but when we choose to cut it off, turn around and move on from it, we allow God to make miracles happen. But first we got to make the decision to move. Be it a wrong decision, a negative thought, a wrong action taken, once we decide to cut it off and change, turn around and move on with God, miracles are waiting ahead of us. No one is perfect and we all face our own down times but we have a perfect God who is willing to be there for us always. What can i say? God is more than enough for me! =)

Another joke..

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Hope you enjoy all the jokes =)

3 guys were chatting in a jacuzzi. Suddenly there is a ringing sound and Guy 1 begin to put his finger at his ear and mouth and answered a phone call.

Guy 2 : "What's that?"
Guy 1 : "Oh that's nothing much. It's just a chip in my hand and i can use it as a phone."

There and then Guy 3 thought he don't want to lose out. He touched the side of his face and from his eyes flashed a screen out.

Guy 2 : "Wow! What is that?"
Guy 3 : "It's nothing much. It's just a chip into my eye and i can watch television whenever i want to."

Guy 2 got very discouraged as he has nothing to boast about so he went to the washroom. When he came back there's a strip of toilet paper that's stuck in his shorts.

Guy 1 & 3 : "What's that?!"

Guy 2 realizing the toilet paper says:
"Oh it's nothing much. That's my fax machine."

New Song

While i was praying last night i wrote a song. My heart was filled with gratitude. I felt so close to God. If there is a chance i'll share the song with others. =)

I thank God for grace..

Monday, October 20, 2008

I had a tiring day at work. Watched 28 weeks later right before i sleep last night. End up got nightmare.. AHHHH!!! It was a struggling long day until just now. I got to talk to a very important friend and got to know everything's great on his side. I've been praying for him all along and i thank God for grace. For a very long time i thought we would never get to talk for at least years or maybe not talk at all. But it seems God knows the cry of my heart. It's just a simple chat but it meant alot to me. Really.. I know i will never want to be away from my Father who always look straight into my heart and make miracles happen. I love Him with all of my heart =)

Baobei fell sick.. Very 可怜 but he insist of working. I know he's determined to work hard and i'm really proud of him. But i hope he don't overwork himself because he's precious to me!

Quoting from "Thanks for the Memories"

Saturday, October 18, 2008

This is quoted from "Thanks for the Memories" by Cecelia Adhern and i found it really meaningful. This is part of the conversation while the lead's dad was chatting with her:

"Well, even a garden grows stranglers, love. It grows them naturally, all by itself. They creep up and choke the plants that are growing from the very same soil as they are. We each have our demons, our self-destruct button. Even in gardens. Pretty as they may be. If you don't potter, you don't notice them."

I really agree with this! We very often dont' evaluate ourselves and deal with our "self-destruct" button. "If you don't potter, you don't notice them", if you don't look into your own life and make amendments and right decisions, you won't notice your self-destruct areas until crisis happens. But why wait for crisis? 'Potter' your life =) And one thing is that don't always try to 'potter' the lives of others (in other words, gossip) when your own life is in the a mess. People have eyes to see. If you cannot be an example, then your words hit nothing. I want to 'potter' my life and stick close to God! Because to me, God can help me, teach me and bring me higher with understanding and conviction. Conviction is really important! I don't want to change without conviction. If not i will just keep 'pottering' the same old issue over and over and over again until the ants grow into size of elephants!

CGM

Friday, October 17, 2008

Had a wonderful time of cg today! I really believe God can do amazing things with N219. So exciting i can't wait! I believe that as you open up to God and be natural (not putting up a false front), God can use you in a greater way =)

I am really blessed! It's really fun to hang out with Dawn, Fiona and Vanessa! Jul if you're reading, we want you to join us!! Exercise!! Ahhh!!! And Serena (my dearest sister) says that we wil go swimming together after Fiona's 'O's. So Fiona, 加油！We've prepared lots of fun stuff for you so you just tahan this period and we'll go crazy all together! Can go Sentosa play volleyball also =)

Will flood you with all the funnie and joyful stuff for the rest of my life! So (singing): "You better watch out! You better not cry! You better run i'm tellin you why.. Sam is here to flood you with JOY!!" Muacks!!

Something Funnie!

Thursday, October 16, 2008

Heard this from Robson. I think he read it somewhere:

A cat looks down on a man,
A dog looks up upon a man,
And a pig looks at a man straight into the eye thinking that he's equal!

Hope i didn't offend anyone but i just found it amusing! LOL!

Something To Share..

Just a train of thoughts that i have and what i believe in. I believe that in a true friendship there should be trust, loyalty, genuine, willing to give and share. A true friend is there to share your happiness, burdens and willing to confront you when you're doing the wrong things. Not to crush you but to help you move higher and further. Sometimes just by keeping quiet to your wrongs and your bad habits can indirectly destroy you. In a true friendship there should be underlying grudges but able to talk things out to achieve mutual understanding. Not copying each other but being who you are and feel secure about the friendship.

If you find yourself in a close friendship with one that you can't fully trust or only can share happiness or only burdens then you got to learn to manage your expectation. True friends doesn't come easy. Both parties play an equal part. I know of lots who say that friends are seasonal. I know of friends who need a 24/7 best friend. But who can have such a human friend in life? Personally i prefer those friends who are secure and know their status in my eyes. That i do not have to meet them up everyday or every week but once we meet up or get to talk, in our hearts there's no distance. Simply openness to share our lives. I'm very blessed to have quite a number of such friends. And i know that you, if you are willing to play your equal part, can find such friends too! So whenever you come across friendship problems, don't get too overwhelmed by it. Learn to allow the right people in your heart and guard your heart from those who are not worth the effort. But of cause don't hate them la! Be friends but don't allow yourself to be too emotionally disturbed by them.

Your life is worth more than what you can think of. Never shut yourself and lose faith in finding true friendship. When you shut yourself there's no chance for God to bless you one. So why "lugi"? =) It's no good for one to be alone! Keep on believing! At least to me believing brings me more happiness =)

This is a little gift from Dawn. It's out of nowhere with no special occasion. Very surprised and i really appreciate it. Very thoughtful =) So Thanks Dawn! This post is specially for you!

Great Time!

This was taken after a great time of netball game! I know i look horrible in this but so what?! I just want to post it! Muahahahaha...! At first quite handicap because only Dawn, Fiona and I were playing so we can't play a match like that. Then a blessing came! It's Vanessa! Don't see her like gentle and soft. She's good man! I was in the same team with her and i had so much fun! I'm so rusty already. Move like an old woman. Super long never play netball but more to come i guess. Think we will also play stuff like volleyball and basketball next time. Will 'recruit' more people to play with us! Hehe =)

Writing Stories..

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Baobei and i were thinking about setting up a blog together and write stories and post up episode by episode. Kinda interesting and exciting. Probably will write out the scripts first then say. Have a few story ideas in mind already. Just not too sure if should do in. Scully no one read! Then a bit waste of our time. But if we do set up that blog we will do all the creative and entertainment stuff there. We'll see how i guess. If you're interested in reading stuff like that do respond! Can help us in deciding whether to do it. Have a great day! Nothing much for today. Fill you guys again next time =)

Lost Friend

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Let's talk about another story of mine. In my life there are many lost friends. Some due to certain understandable reasons, conflicts or circumstances while few due to nothing.

One in particular, nothing wrong happened in the friendship (and mind you it's PURELY just friendship). I guess it's the decisions that friend made with life made me understand his priorities. And the only way to ease his stress, pain and burden is to drift away from the friendship. I have not seen him for a long time. At least to me it's a long time. It's painful to see certain things happening to him but really there's nothing i could do. I believe everyone has their own journey to walk and own decisions to make. I just hope that he would hold on to the positive values in his life. I know his destiny is more than he can think of. I can only pray for him that no matter what he will be close to God.

Up to this part of my life i come to understand that life happens. Many times it's not about who's right and who's wrong but the decisions made. Critiques may come and pass assumptions and remarks but frankly it's non of their business if they are not involved. But of course to those who truly care and love, their words are worth listening to. Yet there are bound to have lots and lots of KPO people who pretend to care. Don't get yourself too distracted by what people say and allow the words to hurt you or pull your self-esteem. They usually freely say whatever they want without thinking or caring simply because the things they say won't affect they life. But it affect yours! So why not freely shut yourself from people who pretend to care. Keep your mind clear from all these and make the right decisions in life. =) Or your can turn to someone you know that they truly care, be it your leaders, friends or family. I believe in life we don't have to hear too many comments on ourselves from people who don't care. Hear from those who wants to help you become better and willing to add more values in your life!

To all who lost their friends in one way or another, don't get too angry, don't bury in pain, don't think that's the last buddy you're going to find. 'Cause slowly you will find yourself learning to be stronger and wiser in choosing your friends. Allow yourself to have an understanding heart evn if they are not worth it. At least you will lead your life with happiness =) 加油加油!! Will share more with you people about my life next time! Thank you for reading Sam's Diary =) Feel free to drop your comments!

Cecelia Adhern

Monday, October 13, 2008

I've been reading books written by Cecelia Adhern. And i must say that the stories she wrote is rather thought provoking at times. Some of you may wonder who is she? She's the one who wrote PS, I Love You. The movie is great but the book is even better! The way she look into the details of life bring stories into reality. Life isn't at all a bed of roses. And in every situation or circumstances. It leaves certain traces of memories behind. Whether you made the right decision, whether you treasured certain moments, whether you did the right thing. It's all hidden inside of you until a situation or circumstance trigger that area for you to focus on those memories. When i watch and read PS, I Love You. It is more than just about a dead husband and a miserable widow. It's more about facing life, pacing yourself to stand strong again dealing with your fears, true friendship, coping with blows. It's so many things in one book! I should say some people may not appreciate it but the book provoked my thoughts and books like this is like common grace. It brings a little hope and comfort to those who read it with an open heart.

Where Rainbow Ends is another book of hers that i really love. If you are lovers of this kind of stories can read it! It's actually not that 'wordy' as it is written in a format like emails. Beautifully written i must say. After reading it i see the importance and significance of making the right decisions in life. Not just think and think and think only. And now i'm reading Thanks For The Memories. Guess i will blog about it after i finished it. =)

School Fees...

Sunday, October 12, 2008

My school fees are killing me! Due date for the fees is November! Baobei and i are both struggling to make ends meet. It's really tough coz the things we want to buy, the things we want to do, the food we want to eat all must control. But i believe it's all going to be worth it to get more educated. It's really hard work. Yet i know somehow God is going to bring me through this time and provide for all my needs! YEAH!! Keep me in prayer! Discipline! Discipline! Discipline! AAAHHHHHHhhhh!

Sports Craving!

Went out with baobei, Robson, Chienthye, Fiona and Dawn today. Dawn, Fiona and i were suddenly talking about sports and playing netball and stuff. And surprisingly we are super siao-on! Immediately we find ways to buy a netball! Man! Think very soon it's time to exercise again! Looking forward!

Connected

Highly recommended by me! A movie that shouldn't be missed. Was really impressed by it. At first i thought it would only be a so-so movie. But it's exciting and hilarious! Really admired Louis Koo's acting skills. The details in his acting, the reactions of his fear are all acted out naturally. Not just there trying to stay good-looking all the time. I completely enjoy the movie. If you have watched the movie, feel free to drop your comments in my 'mail box'. =)

Introduction

Hello everyone! First would like to have a brief introduction of myself. I'm Samantha. Currently studying at MDIS and working at the same time. In a relationship to my lovely baobei in the picture above. He's my No.1 fan, my supporter, my precious =) And all thanks to him i've set up my very first blog! I know what many may be thinking.. so super slow man.. At least that's what my idiotic dear Robson said. Haha.. But anyway I decided to start because i just want to share my life and hope it's an encouragement.

Anyway, previously my baobei showed me this joke online and i felt it is hilarious.. Here it is:

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you.

Haha...! Hope you like it. Enjoy!
