Went to Ted Collection last night to confirm my design with the designer. They specialise in cheongsam, so I am there for a cheongsam =) I always wanted a white cheongsam for my gown. I wont have a princess-like or fairy-like gown. Its just unlike me. Mine will be quiet, simple, smooth, soft and elegant. I think its more like me. It seems like the designers know what suits me too.
Out of the 3 dresses, there will be no "tube" style. I think its rather unique considering that most dresses are in tube style. I thought that I will at least wear tube once in my life, but yet No, its not happening!
But one thing, I need to lose weight. Hmmmm.. Thank God for SH who reminded me of Psalm 139 that I am fearfully n wonderfully made. Actually, I am not so affected by it la. I always wanted to lost weight so now there is a very strong motivation lo! Good man! Finally found the motivation and the people to remind me to lose weight.

K.T Trip Part 2
Hehe… here is an update on what happened during the K.T trip =)
See here is the picture of the small FireFly that SH tries so hard to take. Finally took it when we landed in K.T.
I guess people there more relaxed la. Not like here, many rules…
Some things we do?
We went to the beach and jog…
We went to fly kite at the beach. There is a cosy A & W by the beach =) The beach is not developed by the gov to become a tourist spot so its still natural and not crowded. This is the beauty there, still a lot of nature.
We went fishing as well, my first fishing trip. It was under a overhead bridge and we just fish at the shallow waters.. haha.. He catches a small fish and that is the only fish for the day.. I caught none.. =(
We also went to climb a small hill and it is really steep.. Its only about half an hour up but we really perspire man!! But the joy of reaching the top is unmatched! Hehe
Well, it’s a nice and relaxing trip where we just rest and he spends time with his family and I make some cards for the children as farewell gifts for them.. look forward to gg back again =)

After landing, he brought me to the streets for a quick walk and tour. I was so intrigued by the parking meter because you don’t see it in Singapore anymore =) Their parking is so cheap. I think RM$0.50 can park for an hour already. I have the fun of putting in 50cents when we went to the market area. Hehe…
Here is a picture of his lovely niece, Sharon. She is talkative and CUTE! I guess children being children, they love the attention. I hope she will be my flower girl but SH say she may have stage fright. Hmm…
Oh, yes yes about the food in K.T. It’s a Muslim state so I tried a lot of Malay food here. Malay rojak, malay laksa and malay prata. They have different versions as what we have in Sg. Sadly I didn’t take picture of them la. But I do have this picture of an egg which his mother boiled for us to eat. The egg is rather strange. The egg white is still watery but the egg yolk is HARD! See picture below for proof. Usually we have egg yoke that is harder to cook than the egg white, but this time round, the inner egg yolk gets cook first. Maybe Malay chicken??

In God's time
Missed the long chats with Kris. Been a few months since we chatted..
She helped me to normalize a lot of things. My double-mindedness at this point is normal, its the heart and the head tearing me apart. My mind was made up to move on to another centre, but my heart is sad to move on as there are things which I love here. At times, when i encounter anything good at QT, my heart feels sad to leave and wonder if I shd really leave? However I am glad to be struggling thru these, because its a necessary process if I want to let go. I am gg thru a grieving process.
She reminded me to pray. Pray that I may learn to let go of things that are not healthy and to hold on to things that is part of me and is helpful to the new workplace. Sometimes this means that I need to clarify what is those that is ME and is of God that I should hold on to. And what is it that is of the work culture that is not me, and I should leave it at the old place.
Along the way, there must been hurts and bruises. But the forgiveness process needs to come in and to allow myself to come to a closure so that I do not bring on old wounds to a new place. New wine need new wineskin to contain. A new place need a healthy heart to embrace and appreciate.
There is a need to be patient. Patient with myself and to trust God to form me into His image. Sometimes I think I help God a little too much..
In your time...
Learning to relax...
Oh another thing to learn to relax is the fact that I am preparing for my wedding and marriage. Many things to prepare for and there is alot of anxiety that I cant get the things I want.
I want to witness and testify to God's perfect timing.. =)

My trip to K.T- SH's family..
I had a restful 6 days in Kuala Terengganu. The first lesson which started this trip was that Terenggany is spelled as TErengganu and not as Trengganu which Changi Airport spelled wrongly. I heard it has been changed recently..
SH wanted a picture of the small Firefly but was stopped by the staff at Changi. However we managed to get one when we landed at Terengganu.
It was a good trip in several sense..
6days with his parents was a good time for me to be deeply touched by their hospitality and their care for one another. When one member in the family has a problem to be solved, they would all chip in to help. 2 people particularly stuck me this time round, his mother and 2nd sister. His mother works literally non-stop for the family starting from morning to evening. She prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner. She washes and iron the clothes (she irons everything even t-shirt and handkerchives.) She even irons my clothes though I insisted not to. When it rained, she remembers that my clothes are hanging on the balcony and asked SH's 2nd sis to help me take it down. Whoever meets her will just feels that she is considering for you and have you on her heart. When she got to know that my mother went for an operation to remove her gallstones, she bought chinese herbs and taught me to cook for my mother.
As for his 2nd sis, she works in a bank. And though she is busy with work, she would take time off to bring their parents to KL 4times a year for medical check-up. Through they have 2 other brothers staying there with their parents, she took on most of the elder-care. She knows that I loves mangosteens, so she ordered from a colleague who can get fresh mangosteens. I have my daily fix of mangosteens there. =) On our trip back, I realised that I forgot my slingbag which contains my passport. She drove me back immediately to their home to collect it. Thank God we made it in time! When we returned, people were already uploading onto the bus.
As for other pictures, I will upload it once I figure out how to do it. It seems that my ipload images icon disappear. N when I upload it, I will share more on what I did there! =)

God and His wonderful timing
Very thankful to God who arrange different people in our lives to uplift us when we were down.
Ps John is one of them.
The night before I was too troubled to sleep. Troubled over some matters that SH is troubled over. I share his sentiments and became troubled. As I share with some, I was angry over the matter he was angry about. (Its scary how one's emotions can affect the others, and how his issues became mine.)
Anyway, then Ps John called and I was so glad to be able to share with him and we met up the very next day. Very thankful that these 2 men could relate well with one another and SH could change his perspective about Ps. =) His concerns were addressed and there were encouragements.
Relationship is not just about 2 people but we need mentors and friends to come into our lives to enrich us further. N i am thankful for Ps and Aunty Grace. =) Will be starting our marriage prep next Sunday.. Cooool.....
