Writing cards can give you revelation.

I realise I love to do cards, miss those old days where Fiona and I were bday coodinators!

HA! Cannot believe it right, but yea we were birthday coordinators and we had so much fun.

Back then, we even have shopping trips to buy present for people and I remember I love it a lot because the CG will go together to get the stuff.

Sometimes in life, it is not about being the best in school, in hall, in CCA, in church or in anything that you are doing.

If you are the best, then go ahead and be the best but I am talking normal people like you and me.

What is success without love?

It will be a sprinter who won the race 1st but have no friends to celebrate.

Of course, it does not mean that you are deluded and not give your personal excellence in the things you do.

Because personal excellence is for people to see God through your character even during the times without success.

Having success does not mean you have personal excellence.

But having personal excellence will one day lead you to have success.

Then how do you explain why some people can have so much personal excellence and still not achieve success?

While all I can say success in the world is fleeting but personal excellence will stay.

So seek personal excellence but not success.

Personal excellence is not just work hard, it is also working smart.

Personal excellence will not just bring you to complete your task but it brings to complete your task well with a smile all this while with no one seeing it.

Had so much fun at Yiting 21st bday! (:

We went modesto restaurant,

had an impromptu speech for the pretty birthday girl,

received a card from yt (it was so pretty!!) and I feel so guilty I have yet to make one. Haha. then stayed at vivo city rooftop playing sparklers,

dipping our feet into the water that we cannot see how dirty it is,

camwhoring,

celebrating with Ian's home baked cheesecake,

keep getting chase out by the security,

being told by the security if we want to hang out then we should go another plaza nearby (it is St James Power, do not know how it become a plaza. HA!)

Reached home at 2am, mom nearly kicked a fit!

Haha, but I guess in the end we really enjoyed ourselves because of all the company there and there was Serene, Joy, Ariana, Joyce Chua, Esmonde, Ian, KC, Peck, Kek, Louisa, Yue Ying and of course the birthday girl herself.

KC and Esmonde love story is getting more interesting. Haha.

Hitch a ride on Ian's car with Yt and serene.

We all just stone in the car ride. HA!

To be honest, I have no idea how did Yiting and I became close,

it must be a strange twist of fate! (:

Ahhhh!! I wish I do not have curfew!

My zone went to watch Valentine Day with Dominic after reunion dinner!!

So, Cherie Walter, Alvi and Polly has a date without me. ):

Who wants to watch with me still? Haha.

And I did not wake up early to help my gran past dma today.

Shoot me! Bang Bang Bang!

Yea, I was sad that I did not catch the movie

but I went home helping out with my grandma.

To be honest, my heart belongs to elsewhere recently.

And that she keep repeating the same old stories of her,

it is really boring and dry. (Trust me, I have heard it since I was young)

But this is love, isnt it?

Love is a commitment.

Love is a promise to remain faithful even when it is dry and boring.

What Ivan shared on Twitter is cool,

Maturity is being able to remain faithful to ur commitmnts long aft e "feeling" is gone! Live abve e influence of ur feelings.

I call this Mature Love.

I still love her when I kiss her good nights on the cheeks.

(: (:

Had some time alone and thoughts to myself on Fri morning while catching up tut,

I thought I got to fiercely protect what and who I love and what I dream.

Because if your dreams and love can be so easily taken away, then perhaps it is not your dreams and love after all.

While I watched The Imaginarium with Ray, Endi and Sab the other day,

I thought you cannot name a price for your dreams.

They are priceless.

And the same goes for love too.

What Cherie shared was so true, I realise I am a person who is serious for life.

That is why I am so calculative with my time.

That is why I feel so vexed if I do not reap what I invested.

I thought how pretty amazing it is the my leader is actually younger than me. (: (:

She led me when she was 14 and I was 17.

And she is still leading me when she is 18 and I am now 21.

Pretty cool huh? We really grew up together. (: (:

Cherie is amazing because in everything she does, she do her best, even in the smallest things.

That is personal excellence.

It is sweet that while I was out eating dinner with my friends and Fifi saw me at Bukit Timah

and texted me "hey i saw you. haha!"

To me, it was sweet because I never felt so close to my leaders until now.

I mean I will never imagine a zone leader from another zone to text me.

It is always the smallest things.

It is always the relationships. (: (:

I cannot imagine how Pastors and leaders feel

when each time people walk out

and yet they still continue loving people.

Sometimes, you just got to realise we really do not deserve their love and time.

Who am I really?

To me, it is just so hard to continue loving when it failed.

In monetary sense, it is so hard to keep investing a stock that keep makes you lose money.

Imagine the broken trust.

That is why got to fiercely protect your idealism. (:

What a long post, most people probably find it boring.

No more self-pity, no more self-righteous.

If you want to have something you never have before, you got to do something you never done before.

Let's all not be small-people.

We are too consumed in our own worlds

but your heart can only take 1 thing at a time.

It is no longer what is on your heart.

But who is on your heart?

Let Love takes a hold of my heart.

Faith. Hope. Love.

And the greatest of them is Love.
