Hello World,
I’m back at emborghini again.
Reason being, I’ve left Limpets (and the co-owner) some time back.. For better or for worse, I’m not even sure myself.
Although it’s been a long 4 years, and I enjoyed the journey of ups and downs together, somehow, I can't seem to love deeply for some reason I shan't disclose.
I was treated like a princess all these while, and this made me feel all the guiltier – I cannot match up. He is literally a gift from God to me. I still cannot comprehend my foolishness to give his agape love up. But again, life is too short for regrets. I'd just take a step at a time..
By posting this, I think I scared off my potential suitors (if any) already. Haha..
Papa said, “So you’re going to be a spinster?” to which I replied defiantly, “Maybe, who knows?” I just dashed his hopes of kicking me out of the house soon.

Supernatural healing
Receiving an SMS like this in the middle of the night left me extremely perturbed with a heavy heart.
"Doc says ah gong got internal bleeding ever since he left the hospital. Normal people blood level is about 11, his is currently 5.5. Now they're doing blood transfusion for him and see how it goes. But the doc said must 心理准备." -Jasmine
The last four words killed. Most would have broke down upon hearing this.
Strangely, being the emotional me (at times), I didn't. Rather, the numbers started to shine out brightly at me when I read the painful message again. All I could see was 11 & 5.5.
The biblical meaning of numbers>>
11 - Deals with the things of imperfection, disorganization of systems, and the disorder or chaos of things..
5 - Grace
Then stringing all together, this came to me:
During the disorder of things and at the 11th hour, grace came, not once but double portion.
At the same time, the phrase "Hand of Grace nailed in Grace" kept coming up to my mind.
I could not believe how just these few numbers gave me so much comfort. It was as if Jesus expounded to me through the numbers and I managed to get the revelation. I further prayed tongues and felt so much relieved. I had full confidence in God and was to sleep peacefully knowing that by God's grace, Ah Kong is healed.
To add, I am also comforted by the fact that Jesus used two of us (Alvin and I), to convince Ah Kong to go to the hospital earlier that night.
Many of my relatives came down and persuaded him to no avail. We are indeed the lamb of the household! Praise Jesus!
Others may not see it, but I certainly did and witnessed the wonders of God. Having my first baking job to be botched was not a bad thing after all on that fateful night.
Whilst waiting fer the second to be baked, I promptly went to switch on Ah Kong's room lights only to see his face and palm drained of blood. It's just not me, but the Holy Spirit leading. It's something I would never have done when Ah Kong is sleeping. My dad would have scolded me too for disturbing. All these while papa was still persuading my grandad to go to the hospital in the dark without realising how precarious the situation had been.
It's darn stupid to attribute all these to a stroke of luck. how lucky can one get to make negative events turn around for good and then go on to save others on the brink of death. It's definitely Jesus and only Jesus Christ himself, Amen.
————————————
The next morning came quickly. I reached work when I received another message telling us to be prepared for the worst. Seeing this, getting an emergency leave was all that I wanted. My face contorted when I asked my colleague whom do I have to go through for emergency leave. I was fighting back my tears.
This time, I was shaking. My eyes were welled up. I was so confident Ah Kong would get healed till I couldn't accept the news. I was close to applying leave online when I stop short to pray in tongues till I felt more composed. That was when I realized rushing to the hospital was pointless, commanding blessings over Ah Kong through my Healer was better.
I am glad to say my parents and a few other relatives went to the temple to pray too. It made me feel we know where to place our priorities right. Instead of worrying away and sitting haplessly at the hospital awaiting for miracles to happen, we turn to God.
Not long after, we received news his heart was no longer weak and able to accept the blood transfusion well.
————————————
Currently (5 days later), Ah Kong is well on his way to recovery. Though he is still undergoing a battery of tests to find out what caused the internal bleeding, I have faith that the tests will just act as a testimony that Ah Kong is already healed, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Thank you so much, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach.

Work Life
Some points to why I am blessed to be able to enjoy work:
+ Designing a shopping mall with people is more fun than doing it alone. Gone are the days of hair twirling/wrenching
+ A whopping 17 NUS Archi people are here, which includes me. Considering my graduation batch has only about 90+ people.
+ Wednesday Weekly lunch gatherings for the AY‘05 batch. We make it a point to lunch at a better restaurant after each pay day
+ My potted non-spiky cacti named Calendostraphurasus (collectively) which I got them from Hort Park. I water them twice a week and may change their name again when I forget
+ Office’s located in a shopping mall. Early dismissal spells zig-zaging through the mall (be it Korean grocery or clothes stores) before hitting the train station
+ Friendly, helpful and patient colleagues are brownie points =)
+ Though I work till late, I don't seem to mind for the joy of the Lord is my strength, Amen.

Um.. To bathe or not to bathe
I actually wrote many pieces of blog post, leaving them to decay in my iPhone.
Wrote them during my 8 mins journey from Esplanade to Paya Lebar station on the way home from work. From Amanda's birthday to funny quotes of my tour guide's in Hokkaido.
I wonder when will they enter into my web diary someday.. I'm just too tired to switch on my Mac, christened Hemily (short-form for Hi Emily), after work every weekday. I figured I ought to give my eyes some rest..
Then comes the weekend. All the more I feel I should give my eyes a well deserved break. But more importantly, I find weekends too precious to let blogging occupy my time. Editing and montaging of photos can take up quite a bit.
Now, I'm just taking 3 mins to blog because I'm procrastinating to bathe. Good lord. Yes yes, I should get my butt up after I press "Done".
Till then, have a blessed weekend bumblebees!

Campin' on our Anniversary! - 19th May
All I wanted was a unique anniversary celebration fer the both of us and I've got more than what I've bargained for! - A hottttt date!
We bought a tent meant for 4, prepared light bites such as canapés which we enjoyed putting any toppings we thought would go well together (gawd.. the blue cheese's stench.. but it blended in well ) and what nots.
By the time we were all ready to go, it was late in the evening.
I remembered Alvin kept commenting who the heck pitches a tent at night (for leisure), it's darn difficult!
Indeed so!
We were the only ones amongst the other campers still busy pitching a tent in the dark.
LOL. We're like dumb and dumber.
When we finally settled down, the canapés had already soften. Bummer.
To top it off, the weather was ridiculously warm and humid!
After dinner, we decided to watch Fantastic Mr Fox on Alvin's iPhone.
Because the screen was kinda small, we've got to lie close to one another, but you know, at that time, it was the impossible.
As soon as the lovely show ended, Alvin and I readily agreed we should go out fer a stroll.
(The stroll here meant circling our tent as by law, at any one time, there should be no unattended tents around)
However, upon realisation that the stroll wasn't of much help, we decided to retreat back to our lil' oven and retire early for the night.
Um, I didn't actually plan for anything other than a picnic dinner.
I thought it'd be just a lazy night out and we'd have a great chat as we lay among the green pastures.
Blessedly, our saving grace was the Jesus-sent rain that cooled us down in the middle of the night.
The pitter-pattering sound of raindrops on our dual skinned tent even sounded soothing.
It lulled me to sleep and I'm sure that was the case fer Alvin darLIN too.
By sun rise, we're woken up by taichi players blasting ching chong songs.
It was only then we aware that the rain had seeped thru our tent!
Miraculously, we're all warm (literally) and dry =)
My ever so helpful darLIN took down the tent by his own whilst I stood on a stone bench from afar guarding our stuff and most importantly, to stay away from red ants (if any).
To conclude, this trip was a bittersweet experience, but I'm raring to go for one again, only during the wetter months next time.
Happy 3rd Anniversary Darling!

Amanda's 24th - 16th May
I must say Amanda's 24th was celebrated in a unique fashion, we played badminton! That it was the first sport we do together even made it all the more memorable.
We even planned to do badminton fortnightly. Excited by the prospects, I specially bought a cross training top for our future biweekly meets. Heh
It has been years since most of us last held a racket and quite expectedly, the game started off with a few missed serves and loads of shuttle cock picking. Only half an hour into the game, we felt we were too ambitious to book a two hour slot. It was hot and stuffy indoors and very soon, I felt a headache was imminent.
Sure enough, I had to take a breather. Amanda joined me, complaining of stuffiness. The ventilation at Serangoon CC was just horrendous!
Throughout the hour and a half game, Candice was the only one who took the least break. I attribute her long standing to the air being fresher at higher altitudes.
The last half an hour was spent slacking and taking photos. All these while, my headache got worse and I just slump onto the chair while waiting for Regina to flag a cab.
The Power 4.
Thankfully, all it took was one long warm bath at Candice's to feel 100% energized and ready to head out to celebrate Amanda's birthday. However, as soon as we laid our butts onto the most comfortable sofa ever whilst waiting for one another to finish bathing, we didn’t feel like moving out anymore.
Then someone had to mention the bright idea of ordering pizzas in. Yay!
Whilst waiting for pizzas to arrive, Regina played Guitar Hero.
The pizzas arrived real late and as you can see, we over ordered.
Haha, so this is how we exercise, and manage to regain our loss carbs at the end of the day. :)
