Soccer?

hahaha

if there is one thing that can change a person 180 degrees

i would say that its LOVE

i used to detest soccer to an extend i would gladly like my life partner to be someone who doesn't watch soccer at all

but for me to be found at 'The Cage' at 12 midnight after fellowshipping with my members at the airport

sleeping for only an hour the night before

i could say that i truly love this man i am with right now

watched them play as much as i could

though i kinda slept through a bit

but i really really tried

i love to be adoring my prince

hehe

=)

went to the Kallang river after eating with the rest at Macdonalds

and kissed there for one hour plus closing to 2

then walked to take bus home from kallang MRT

hmm  guess we both felt it

that we are kinda kissing a bit TOO MUCH

and it can be quite unhealthy

i don't want this relationship to EVER come to a point where we are lusting for each other

i want to keep it pure and holy till marriage

because i know that till then, we will be very blessed and the relationship will be built on right values with Christ in the midst of us

think got to set some limits and boundaries for ourselves

not that the in the relationship got to have so many limitations etc

but we just got to protect what we love and is precious to us, our love

=)

so found one at Kovan central near the bus interchange, in the midst of the estate

and once we start, i tink its just hard to stop

can u imagine we sat there in the midst of the estate at the central

and kissed for 2 and half hours

this record breaking man

he is so tire after the long day in school and going for the wake

i never knew  i got such long stamina for kissing

and i never knew he could kiss so well too

but i tink we got to start controlling abit before it becomes a hobby

i feel its nothing wrong wrong la

but yet everything between right and wrong is really just a thin white line la

in everything there is a boundary to watch

i don't want to put this relationship on the test on temptation lei

this is too precious to be to ever give it room for failing or walking by the edge

A relationship, a love i will protect

Nature Reserve

met for lunch at kovan and set out to MacRitchie Res

was my first visit there

quite a nice place

walking along the res, saw a father and son

most of the times in a family

the father will only bring the son out to explore places and do activities together

so mentioned that next time no matter what we got to do things as a family

cannot just bring the son out

sounds a bit funny rite?

never say that i will definitely marry him

but yet we have always seen it that way, even before we were together

but this is also good

because i believe that if i do not see a future in the relationship

then why even start in the first place

so its good that we are both committed to be working towards a happy family

found a nice seat under the tree by the res

and there we kissed for one and a half hours

i am not sure how but time seems to FLY when we are kissing

we seriously don't feel that it had already been that long though

but well i guess that's what happens when 2 physical touch people are put together

not cannot stop

but just a bit harder than usual

one thing i felt so blessed by is the presence of my prince Van

cuz the bus came too early and it came together with the previous bus

and since he got to be taking a cab anyway

we hugged for awhile and kissed....

this is the first time we set our record at kissing for one and a half hours

feels a bit crazy rite

but time seems to fly each time we kiss

because, really we don't feel that it so long

unknowingly it was already 1:45 A.M. when we checked

Paternal gathering

This is almost the FIRST time in the history of 10 years

since we ever had a paternal gathering apart from Chinese New Year

other than some cousin's wedding not too long ago

and this time was my grandma's 80th birthday!

met at a aunt's house and had a small celebration for her

was expecting full attendance since its such an important date

but sadly 2 of the families did not turn up

sometimes i wonder what are the priorities in life

remembered how my grandma had tears in her eyes during my cousin's wedding

because it was the only time the whole family got together for the past 10 years

do we really need a wedding or a funeral for everyone to be gathered?

not even on a 80th birthday?

due to the lack of gatherings, or almost no gatherings at all

hence i have never brought anyone to meet my paternal side

and i am very glad that my FIRST time bringing someone is no one else other than my Prince and i can show him off to all of them

=)

very happy to see the joy on my grandma's face when she sees him

and the kinda joy that i have not seen for a long while

when he can actually communicate with her

maybe cause most of her grandchildren cannot even talk to a in a proper sentence ba

sad to know but that is the truth

i could sit there to listen to her for one hour and leave without knowing more than 10% of the whole conversation

but i am happy to see that my grandma is happy to meet my prince

=)

to some people it sounds like a really boring and quite a big process of making arrangements for one another but somehow i guess when u REALLY enjoy each other making time to be together feels like something u would take the initiative to do with even being asked or requested to do

just like how Christ loves the Church, he loves me

like how the church submits to Christ's leadership, i submit to his

like how Christ always have the best for the church, he has mine

and like how the church would consider God in all their planning, i consider his

no longer just seeking and serving God alone but seeking and serving the kingdom of God TOGETHER!

Relationship 101

Issue #1: Best Friends
This issue is based on our first visit to Asia Bar

due to the presence of our, not yet, son

we could only stand around to take some pictures

and just like the title of the article "Best Friends"

cause we are not together yet

but i believe that all relationship should be built 

on the foundation of friendship

where there is a platform of sharing

and first being there for one another

to support and encourage

so that the relationship will be healthy 

and not so trying when 2 person get together

Issue #2: TruLove

This issue is based on how miraculous things can turn out to be as long as you believe

its exactly how i would describe it as too good to be true

but yet with God, nothing is impossible

i believe that God is the center 

of every successful relationship 

where we will take time to pray together 

for one another each day 

since the first day we got together

building a Godly, holy and spiritual relationship

serving God and His purpose together

"A family that prays together, stays together"

 

Issue #3: Outdoors

This issue talks about the interesting things and activities you can do as a couple

to keep a relationship going on strong and healthy

instead of just meeting up during 'necessary' times

there should be commitment to be meeting up and doing things TOGETHER

and instead of just going for movies after movies

shopping and shopping

going for some sightseeing, exploring places and doing little things for each other can be quite adventurous too

there can never run out of things 2 person can do together

and sometimes its not about the things u do

but who you are doing it with

that makes it all worthwhile and fruitful!

holding me in his arms that makes everything extremely lovely

beyond just the natural eyes

and i got his first kiss there

hehe

=P

then it was also his first time officially playing the guitar and singing for me

=)

today when pastor Tan is leading the morning devotion

i was reminded of how i would love to spend time dragging into the word of God in the past

and just spend hours at home, in His presence

feels like a lost art for me

but suddenly that love and desire for doing that came rushing back

and this time i know i wont be doing it alone too

cuz i found a prince who loves the things of God just as much as i do

on top of just having fun together

i tink to seek God together is the MOST IMPORTANT part of this relationship

built on His trust and grows in His love

nothing will be too hard for us

a few months back i was telling a colleague how important it is that we find someone who would LOVE us just like how Christ loves the church, love us for WHO we are and be PROUD of us!

one thing for sure, i know God has brought this person into my life

so will he have the chance of having me as his partner?

then i told him that for the past one months i have really thought through

and just want to thank him for being so accepting to my past
