Hamsteritis strikes again

At least i have valid reasons for squeaking. Anyway i just had to post. It's a memorable date.

Just came back from Melaka, was good and bad but i learned a lot from there. Will elaborate more once i get all the pictures from there.

I'm feeling a little blonde and ditzy [well every girl has her moments]. Someone near me has turned on the laughing gas and i can't stop. Whoever you are, if you're standing near the laughing gas tank, please switch it off *grin.

Going off for the weekend

Well, will be back on Monday. Spending the weekend in Melaka, hopefully it'll be fruitful. Bye, blog!

I'm like a hamster

I get overly excited over not that much at all. Squeak squeak.

edit: 11:51pm As i figured, not much at all. Squeak less. Gahaha. I'm impetuous.. Spontaneous.. Probably many other "ous" words. But i think i'm much less impetuous now than last time, which is good. However, i sometimes just get sick of thinking things over. Sometimes there's too much thinking and too little doing. Which is not good. Which ends up being all talk but no action. It's time to get off my butt, brush the dust off and get moving!

I love those yellow leggings.

Update similar to previous...

...just maybe with pictures. Well, this post is connected to the last post, so i'm kinda exploring the world of biblical womanhood and followed closely by Godly relationships. It's kinda cool to see the old values, why they were VALUES in the first place; things like submission and serving with love, hope chests, homemaking... you know the deal. And it's really REALLY cool how it all points to the Trinity's relations, how God the Father is the head of Christ, and Christ submits to the will of the Father and how all our other relations with people fall into place, as we continue serving each other, in working to building up of the body of Christ.

I thought i'd highlight some of the stuff i'd read to you all. It's not all about biblical womanhood, just some stuff i've encountered that are serving me good currently.

1. The Dangers of Dating in your Mind by Carolyn McCulley
Part one | Part two | Part three
Well this one is pretty cool, i thought i'd lost the link but thank goodness i found it. This one helped out a lot in my friendships with guys, it's about how women could sometimes see a lot in their friendships with particular men, a lot more than is really going on. Sometimes women could just imagine up a whole relationship in a friendship, which i happen to do sometimes so it's a timely reminder.

2. Biblical Dating : Just friends by Scott Croft
Continuing in the dating theme, here's another one about intimate friendships between men and women. Well since we're on this track, might as well read Biblical Dating: The introduction, Biblical Dating : To kiss or not to kiss, Biblical Dating : Are you ready to date? and Biblical Dating : Navigating the Early Stages of a Relationship. Read them all, they address things like the roles in which men and women have in a relationship and sex. Here's another one also by the same writer called What does a Biblical Relationship Look Like? That should help us out in looking for a suitable partner and following the design of God for relationships.

3. Opposites Attract by Kara Schwab
Haha this one was pretty funny, the illustrations at least.

4. Wait til you're Perfect by Candice Watters
About the search for mentors, which i wrote about in the past post.

Anyway, best place to understand more about these things? Go check the Bible. See how God originally put it together and apply that.

Long time no see

Such a Chinese thing to say. And i've been more Chinese in the last three days than i've been in my entire life.

Anyway, that's not the point of the post. The point is, i'm not sure what the point is anymore. Haha, no that's not entirely true, i know the point is Jesus. But i mean the point in other things in life that i do that i don't consider important anymore, but well, would be controversial if i chose to halt. All these questions burning in my mind, i wish there were more older women in the church that i look up to that i can ask these personal questions. Where are the older women who's supposed to teach the younger women? Biblically, older women are supposed to train the younger women... where are they? Sigh. Do you see the necessary succession from older women (older for me meaning from 22-whatever) to the younger? They should have already encountered these questions and therefore would be able to guide me in a sense, not so much spoon feed me.

Anyway, that point about older and younger women is also secondary to the main point. Where do i measure up? In God's great plans, what do i do? Well, since i haven't finished thinking about them, you will not be able to read the not-so-juicy details of my answers.

So that makes the ACTUAL point of this post, is that i just wanted to let you know that i'm still alive and have been busy and occupied and haven't had the time to blog.

And after the first, there's the second. Better poses, got to fix the face though haha.

14.05.2008

I've got to work on the posing man... Oh well. There's always a first.
And this is my first time being able to match these yellow leggings with anything. Cos seriously, they're such an odd color, and my other fave colors that dominate my closet don't match it.

Okay maybe not everything

Not everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Some things just put the silver linings in your clouds. And it warms the cockles of the heart, some of these things that could have gone wrong but don't. Sigh.

But, back to the present. I'm seriously considering being a housewife to a non-existent husband because that might just be all that i'll be qualified for. My personal ad as follows:

To all prospective husbands in search for a stay-at-home wife. Can cook, won't kill. Excellent at choosing clothes that match, fixing tears and other miscellaneous clothes-related problems. Not particularly gorgeous but anything works with the lights off, right? Enough wit and humor to last u til your 50th birthday, no guarantees on whether laughter is at you or with you.

If any takers, don't answer this ad. Haha.

If anything can go wrong, it will

Another self-explanatory post, where whatever that can go wrong, has already gone wrong, which really explains why the writer is sitting here writing about it.

Itching

I'm itching after a MacBook. Yes this laptop is great and all, but it wasn't something i chose of my own volition and it doesn't suit my purposes. I can't run any of the necessary programs [necessary to me la] and that sort of defeats the purpose of me having a laptop.

I realize that there are probably other laptops out there that would do the trick for me and are probably cheaper than a MacBook but i figure, what's the point? I'd rather get something that is ultimately more suited to me [that's a little bit more expensive] than something that doesn't completely suit my needs [which is cheaper]. I'd prefer to spend a little extra on something that hangs, crashes less, more protected, user friendly too. Not to mention that it is so easy on the eyes. I've read reviews over reviews on all the features [not that i understand it all] but it's a well known fact that Macs work better than the usual crap.

Anyway, if i calculate right, if i start saving up now, i'll probably be able to purchase one in a year's time. Well, i'm still thinking about it. And i think it's very safe to say i'll be thinking about it right until the point of purchase. *grin*

Insecurities

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

I boast, i boast...for i have many many many weaknesses and insecurities. Oh that i slowly learn everyday to rely more and more on God's strength to keep me going, teaching me and making me stronger and stronger and more resistant to sin. Just today, i'm bombarded right left and center with insecurities and i realise how much God has helped me since maybe a good year back. It grows to be a little less harder to choose the right path and a little more easy to walk away from the temptation of sin. Ahhh, i rest in peace in the knowledge that Christ is my power.
