Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

What is the biggest difference between humans and animals?
Humans can conceal their true feelings.
Got this through a show and I totally agree with it.
Have to sleep soon because I have to wake up early for tuition tomorrow morning. Sometimes, I wish life can be more interesting than this. Haha.
I wonder if I should be happy for him. I could see it coming but I know it will pass in no time.
Bumped into one of my tutors from last semester and seeing him reminds me that time is running out. Yup! He told me to keep in touch when I start teaching.
Celebrated with Ching and Mich today after handing in one of our more demanding projects. Am so glad that recess is here but there are days set aside to work on other assignments in the coming week. More to come, yes, more to come...
This is on Facebook but there is no harm putting it here, I guess.
25 Things About Me
Childhood
- Was an extremely naughty child who often got on my mum’s nerves and caning was almost a daily affair.
- Was taken care and abused to a certain extent by one of my relatives when I was in Kindergarten Year 1.
- Started cooking dinner for my family in Primary 2. Impressive?
- Became a prefect in Woodlands Primary School (WPS) in Primary 4. Of course, I continued until Primary 6.
- Made numerous friends from WPS whom I still keep in contact with. And I found a few of them through Facebook.
- Finished my PSLE – Please Stop Learning Everything – with an aggregate score of 243 with a distinction in Mathematics and went to Bukit Panjang Govt High.
- Brought to church by one of my friends and the seed was sowed then.
Adolescence
- For no rhyme and reason, many feared me back in Secondary school days. Result? I had to ‘settle’ a conflict between gangs once!
- Topped my class in Home Economics.
- Joined St John Ambulance Brigade and met my ‘popo’ – Liyan. I loved the drills but First Aid was a dread. Was the parade timer once so you can imagine how loud I can go.
- Used to loiter at McDonald’s for hours after school ends.
- Awarded The Most Polite Student for my class in Secondary 4 when I turned down the award for The Most Outstanding Pupil. Reason? I felt that my results were not brilliant enough.
- Took History at ‘A’ level when I hated it. Oh yes, the tutor is cute!
- Was mistaken for a butch when I had my hair cut short during JC days.
- Played truants with Kelvin, Shirleen, ACL, Huijing and more for Math tutorials.
- Studied Chinese at ‘A’ level – Chinese Literature – and wondered how I survived.
- Had my first boyfriend and nearly committed suicide when we broke up. Shirleen was there and I was just a few inches from a double-decker.
Adulthood
- Enrolled for a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration in SIM and graduated with a degree with distinction.
- Met my Dage who really dotes on me. He is one of the many blessings in my life.
- Went to Melbourne for an exchange program and it is an unforgettable experience.
- Went through a painful and struggling relationship with a Christian. It made me a stronger person and I thank God who saw me through it all.
- Served for 7 years in church and the most memorable is my participation in a drama as one of the two main actresses. I think I am an entertainer. Also met two angels – Rus and Ah Drew.
- Discovered that I still have 3 milk teeth so stop assuming every adult has at least 28 permanent teeth.
- Worked for a while and entered NIE, where I made a number of gems who made a real difference to my life. You know who you are and I love you!
- Met a lovely second family – TomSumJo – who is always there. Fell in love with their son and I became a godma who willingly gets bullied by him.
