family gathering...

a short sharing about what happened today..

very thankful for today's family gathering.. thought after my great grandma passed away, we will no longer gather together.. thank God for the initiative of my aunts and my youngest grand aunt that made today possible.. it was at one of my aunt's condo.. even got to see one of my uni friends coincidentally.. haha.. she was there to give tuition.. yeah.. had fun today playing waters with the kids, uncles and aunts in the swimming pool.. had buffet and played games.. looking at the old photos and laughing at one another.. haha.. so funny.. it is heartwarming to come together.. even it means just to sit down to talk and eat.. they are thinking of having an overnight bbq.. so i suggested i'll check out the chalets.. :) looking forward..

thank God, You made everything possible.. thank You also for watching over and blessing my family.. :)


Grateful indeed i am..


Love,
Naomi

tg02's farewell cg..

had tg02's farewell cg last friday at vivo city.. it was fun yet it was quite sad too cos we would not longer be in the same cg anymore.. even though we had only been in this cg for around 3 months plus almost 4 months.. we shared what we want to do for this last cg.. and also shared what we had learned for the past few months.. did a mini SWOT for each of us.. my weakness in being too straightforward and direct seems to be the main and only weakness being pointed out by the cg.. haha.. it was funny to see different variations of phrasing this weakness of mine by different people.. something i doing my best to change with God's help.. yeah.. haha..


Pics of farewell cg:

list of things that the cg want to get done during this last cg
i contributed the first point :)

our zi-pai
our so called neoprint
haha

our graduating photo
proud to have
graduated from tg02
haha

trying to show that we only have 1 bro in the cg
and we 'bullied' him
haha

best endeavour bro and sis.. hope you will bring with you what you have learned and internalised thus far to the new cg that you are in.. give your best to the cg as you are doing it for the Lord.. Colossians 3:23.. Jia you!! continue to grow strong in the Lord and trust in Him more and more..


I'll miss the time spend together..


Love,
Naomi

mixed feelings...

went to pick out our gowns together.. sihua, me and sihua's nie's good friend, alester.. they waited for me to go down together after my tuition.. so touched.. it was fun to try out our gowns together.. haha.. an occasion to be celebrated..

after getting our gowns we went to vivo to chill and get some stuff.. after alester left, sihua and i went for dinner then a sushi picnic.. our last dmm.. a closing to our working relationship.. a time for stock taking.. a time to help one another to grow even though we are no longer in the same cg..

i greatly appreciates what sihua shared to me.. thanks gal.. for speaking the truth in love into my life.. thanks for being the one that initiated this friendship.. if not, we may not have been BFF today ba.. very glad that we became BFF..

thanks for investing in my life.. i will miss you.. as the time we can spend together becomes lesser cos we are in different cg and we will be working/studying..

let's really commit to spend time with one another to share lives together whenever we can..


A moment to remember:




God, i pray that You will watch over our friendship..


i love you, ms abigail tan sihua..


Love,
Naomi

take all of me...

Take all of me
Hillsong United

You broke the night like the sun
And healed my heart with Your great love
Any trouble I couldn't bear
You lifted me upon Your shoulders

Love that's stronger
Love that covers sin
And takes the weight of the world

I love You
All of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ take my life
Take all of me

You stand on mountain tops with me
With You i walk through the valleys
You gave Your only Son for me
Your grace is all I rely on

I love You so,
and I give up my heart to say
I need You so, my everything

Take all of me, Jesus...


Love,
Naomi

take some time..

there is a story behind every human on earth

telling you how have they become who they are today

are you willing to listen to them?



每个人背后都有一段段的故事,

诉说着他们的成长过程,

如何蜕变成现在的他们,

你愿意倾听他们的心声吗？

God is always willing to listen, you know?


Love,
Naomi

emo thots...

death of a love one can bring people together

yet

it can also break them apart..


her leaving us brings sadness

losing a connection point exacerbate the pain..


God, i pray and hope that we will still be connected together despite of this lost..

Love,
Naomi
