Too many calories

Trying to do some work at CBTL while the kids join me at J8 later tonight.. enjoying the peace now.. 

Havent been eating as cleaning as I thought I would.. had bens and jerry, bubble tea and 许溜山 last week! Omg.. so much calories.. told my BFFs that I needed to eat coz if I'm ever going to kena the virus/QO/die, my life is complete bcoz I've had them... hahahahah... die and no regrets.. coz I've led a meaningful life and I've eaten the foods that I've wanted.. hahahaha.. jialat I'm a hard core procrastinator... 

Had too many appts last week that I came down with flu and fatigue on Friday.. was I afraid of getting the virus? Actually no.. bcoz I believe that most people would recover from it, and if my time is up, then I shall accept what the Lord has planned for me. I actually penned something like "My last letter" previously and much of it remains true to my heart still..

Live life with no regrets coz we never know when is the last goodbye..

I'm still trying to work as much as I can.. along as I'm well and the appt is okie to meet.. praying that God guides me in every step of my journey..


I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?  My help comes from the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The day Singapore change from yellow to orange, there was panic at the supermarkets reported.. hoarders buying large quantities of food and toilet papers...🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Let's make something good out of this situation. Be patient with one another; exercise social responsibility; wash hands with soap and avoid touching yr face!

Brought the twins to the library at Nex on a Sunday afternoon. We had to measure our temperature and provided our details before we could enter. Kudos to the staff for the extra work needed to ensure contact tracing to be easier if shit happens. The mall was pleasantly quiet; with more shoppers putting on a mask. We didnt have to queue at sushi Express even though it was lunch time and the staff gave us hand sanitizer before we were showed our tables.

I wasnt around when SARS hit Singapore. But I was around when it was orange during Swine flu in 2009. That was the year that I cancelled my mdrt convention trip bcoz I didnt want to risk having to self quarantine and b away from joy after I got back. But that was the only thing I remember from that flu epidemic. 

Let's all make a positive step towards making this place a better place to live in. 

Change for the better

Just did my 2nd swim this week and feeling super shiok over it! Though there was a minor scare during the swim coz I saw a mermaid while swimming in the dark. My vision isn't that good at night and I thought a tail swam past me during the 2nd lap..n when I returned again, I saw the whole mermaid! Some adult bought the tail and swim with it..🤣🤣🤣 next time I shall ask her where she got it from..hahahah.. can work on my core muscles..

This is the week to get back in shape after all the holiday feasting. Back to healthy eating and exercising twice a week. Been too indulgent with all the partying that I've put on 3 kg since nov! Omg! The goal this yr is to lose another 10kg and reach 65! I can do it! 💪💪💪

In other news, I will b doing a mini sharing next week in office..omg.. public speaking (again).. it's a love hate relationship.. love to step out of my comfort zone and improve on myself; hate it bcoz it's super uncomfortable. Hope that God grants me the wisdom to make a positive impact; and that I wont screw up la.. in Jesus name I pray amen! 

03.02.2005 received this bouquet of sunflowers 🌻 from u. I felt irritated that u kept haunting me like a ghost despite severing our ties moons ago. 我觉定那晚约你 肯你说清楚. 

Having just ended my 2nd r/s, I have no plans or mood to start another 感情. I just wanted him to stop pestering me. He picked me up and we drove for a long time before reaching "dunno where". 

When I alighted, God said to me in the most assertive voice, "Lena, this man is the most suited man for you. If you pass him by, more eligible men would come but none as suitable as him". 

And with that, I decided to marry him. 

That was exactly 15yrs ago. To make that decision, my friends thought I was crazy. My mom wanted to disown me.

July 2005 when we were 15 yrs younger 

To say that God works in amazing ways, is a huge understatement. I never felt so peaceful that eventful night. And we got married 1 yr later, on 11.06.2006. Though my parents weren't approving, I was firm and they knew there was no other way around it.

Fast forward and it's been 15 yrs since that fateful night. Time flies in super speed and before u know it, we are classified as "老夫老妻". On some days, I stand in awe of God's perfect timing for us. If I had gone ahead to apply a BTO with william in 2003, (yes he did the bto proposal), I wont have cherish our r/s. I would have taken him for granted, and we probably wont be together by now. My plans are not always God's plans but His plans are always for my best interests. When we got back together, I appreciated him more and also understood what I needed. We would eventually be lifelong partners and role models for our kids. 

On "battle" nights, I cried out to God..why why.. did I hear Him wrongly? Did He really say best suited? Lol... we went thru many rounds of ironing and realignment to be the Mr & Mrs Choo today. I'm thankful that God is in the centre of our union.

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
