Excitement

Aiyo.... I have been planning so many many Xmas parties that I am happy, excitied yet tired liao. Need to chill. Pai seh, will blog another time. *Yawns* *BIG big Yawns* Tired out, Ruth

Thoughts about my baby Daniel

Be Warned!! This entry is not meant to make your hair stand but to edify & encourage so that one day you may experience love akin to this.


Ups & Downs

My Baby picks me up from work almost everyday
But he also grumbles about petrol costs, parking and ERP
he still does it anyway, cos he loves me


My baby also pokes fun at me and jokes at my expense
But when he gets serious, he really gets serious
however, in my presence he does not stay serious for long
for a sense of humour is vital in any relationship


My Baby likes to eat my cooking
am not sure is it out of love or obligation or the dishes simply taste yummy
but he sure relishes the dishes to their last drop
at times he will grumble about cleaning up the kitchen
but when one cooks, the other cleans mah, its a fair system


My baby makes mistakes and falls
but he is never alone in that journey
for he has the Lord and me
he can pick himself up and learn from such pitfalls
thats the true measure of a man - he bounces back!


My Baby enjoys seeing me exercise and putting in effort
for he says he is proud of me and my progress for
a healthy body shows you are glad
to take care of the temple of the holy spirit residing in you


My baby has fun playing with other kiddos a.k.a Ah Jann / Lukas / Joel
for he just indulges in touching their lil' fingers
and cheeks that scream: "Im cute!"
He enjoys observing their growth


My Baby is the best thing that has taken place so far
cos when I studied for my adv. diploma studies back then
he was always by my side supporting me
testing me and ensuring that I stayed calm and prayed
and I did well because of God and my baby


My Baby is for me as I am for him. We believe in each other. Hee~~



In Love, RL

Away ~~

Come my way

Why must you fly away
As I sit and pray
ever so gingerly.


I long to be swayed
by my emotions and passion
yet I refrain in light of succession.


Differentiating views
causes such confusion
yet advocated by many as directions.


I'm so wrapped up in your like
please do not up your hikes
as I no longer can afford the stakes.


Thus tatter away. far away,
so that I may be
in the Light of day... ... ...

Kena Head and torso "injury"

I totally was so into my badminton match last night, had a good time playing. Tonight got one more round and I am so 'clever' again, forgot to bring my shoes again.

Looks like I gotta head home and take them again.

Anyways, my dear Ms Lim hit my head and my torso and I retorted in mock annoyance, as if we have some "unsettled score" like that. It was really funny.

I love badminton... credit goes to my Papa.

Alrights, a very tired Ruth in need of rest.

Peace, RL

Be Encouraged!!!

This is esp. for those who are discouraged and are seeking a clear direction. Take heart!

Our Plans and God's Plans : Samuel Morse
by Os Hillman

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21

Have you ever heard of someone who spent years of preparation for one vocation only to end up doing something completely different? Perhaps this could be said of you. Quite often we have in our minds what we believe we want to do only to have a course correction. Often the course correction comes through a major crisis that forces us into an area that we would never have considered.Such was the case for Samuel Morse.

Born in 1791, Morse grew up desiring to be an artist, and he eventually became very talented and internationally known. However, it was difficult to make a living as an artist in America during that time. A series of crises further complicated his vocational desire when his wife died; then his mother and father also died soon after. He went to Europe to paint and reflect on his life. On his return trip aboard a ship, he was captivated by discussions at dinner about new experiments in electromagnetism.

During that important occasion, Morse made the following comment, "If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted by electricity."

In the face of many difficulties and disappointments, he determinedly perfected a new invention, and, in 1837, applied for a patent that became what we know today as the telegraph. He also created Morse code. It was only later, after many more setbacks and disappointments, that his projects received funding.Samuel Morse later commented, "The only gleam of hope, and I cannot underrate it, is from confidence in God.

When I look upward it calms any apprehension for the future, and I seem to hear a voice saying: 'If I clothe the lilies of the field, shall I not also clothe you?' Here is my strong confidence, and I will wait patiently for the direction of Providence."

Morse went on to create several other inventions and can be recognized today as the father of faxes, modems, e-mail, the Internet and other electronic communication.

God's plans may not always seem to follow our natural inclination. Perhaps God has you taking a path that may not lead to His ultimate destination for you. Trust in the Lord, lean not on your own understanding, acknowledge Him in all you do, and He shall direct your path Prov. 3:5–6

Haircut & Fun

Whoa.. I did this, Ditto!!

Hey peeps! Guess what, I managed to cut Daniel's hair (no training nor prior experience before) and I thank God for natural flair for the art and styling. Look, no glitches nor bad spots.

Am so proud of me-self.... haha. Ok, whose next? I charged minimal only. Say $5 for normal guys look and $7 for botak look. hhahaaa....

Ok, enuff said. I am so looking forward to Christmas still. Oh yea, I had a sumptous seafood dinner last night at NO SIGNBOARD @ the Oasis with my ex-tutees. They have all grown up... got taller, thinner, fatter and more matured. What a big diff!

I missed hanging out with them. And am proud of them.

I totally forgot to take photos. I wished I did... then i can show u how huge the chilli crab pincers are. Irritated with myself.

I missed Lina and Peter most cos I was closer with them but Peter was so shy yesterday. Maybe its because he is all grown up now. Lina was fun to yak away with as usual... she has come of age and seems more confident. :)

alrighty... got to dash.

Sad

I am sad now. Sad sadness saddened sadly sad. I want to cry but there are no tears coming out. I feel so pent up and misunderstood. I want to emo but am at work. I long for a hug but its impossible.

The lousiest thing is, I am both sick and sad. I feel so much like some sickening loser. I feel not valued. Lost. Limbo.

I know the saying goes God loves and values me...yeah, that I know but no human does. In fact, humans are the bane of my sadness and pain right now.

My thoughts on "Women"

I AM WOMAN - hear me RoarrrrR!

Something interesting has happened over the last few days and it led me to sit down and think, why are women such strange creatures, we can appear easy to figure out when we want to be found out yet at the same time when we do not want to reveal the depths of our hearts / minds to someone, we can choose to be as complicated as day and night.


And the equator and balance amongst all things - is our emotions. Women generally are emotional creatures (lesbians included) and they are ever so fragile, doe-eyed one minute and have that innate need to be protected, cherished YET they can be jumping on your back the next minute and chewing off your head... leaving only a skull if you are lucky. That's how scary women are.


Even I fathom at how intriguing our minds are compared to a guy's.


A guy is like a child, easier to 'manipulate' *pun intended*, once you master the art of doing so lah (I have not reached that level yet so too bad).... but well, guys are another genre altogether, more selfish than women I would certainly think so. Women tend to be more giving. That's why plenty of drama serials have women playing out the long-suffering roles. The one holding out pain better and have the tenacity to suffer along with her loved ones.


The thing about a woman is, how marvellously wired her brain is, she can multi-task, map out what to do next and act nonchalantly as if its normal. I think guys ought to give more credit to their partners and the sort of support they have quietly been giving while the men go out there to "conquer" the world and grow up during the process.


I champion the notion of a woman supporting her man behind the scenes and being his pillar of strength yet she ought to be cherished greatly, if not, every single thing done by the guy will not be as smooth as it can be nor whatever for is his motivation if there isn't someone by his side to cheer him on when he falls or succeeds? Isn't it chilly to be high up on that success ladder alone?


Have you loved the woman in your life today?

Today

I had a really good time today even thou work was a mad rush here and there. I really am in the momentum to exercise and exercise, looking forward to my new bod by mid of next year where I will shed at least another 8 - 10kg by then. *smilez*

My arms are still aching from all that badminton. Thanks to a certain Ms Lim..... haha... muhahaha. But I enjoyed badminton immensely with that group. Will regularly join when possible. A welcomed change from the usual sprints and runs I do.

Anyways, I am still loving all that I undertake and the people that I meet everyday, they inspire me and I cannot stop thanking God for all the people He so nicely let me meet, even the mean ones sometimes. *grins*

Ok... I am heading home to watch America's Next Top Model... Yay!

~ Lovely Thursday, muacks Ruth

我爱圣诞节！！

Yups, the title says it all, I am so looking forward to Christmas... why? Well...truthfully I am always so excitied by all the presents I get. I feel like a lil' kid at this time of the year. Its a family tradition that we exchange gifts. So am looking forward to receiving mine from my Mummy, brother, my "mei mei", my best friend, my colleague, my new found friends and last but not least - dear daniel. Ha ha.... Tis' the season to be jolly...lalalalala..la la la Laaaaaaa!

But the thing about Xmas is, the warmth and joy as we go about spreading some good ol' fashion merry-making into the lives of the ones who are not as fortunate as we are. This year, my greatest wish and prayer is to see the AG Home get a brand new home so that Pastor Andrew can really carry on the good work he has undertaken and started, I am certain God will not leave them all aside but will provide.

To find out more or if you got lobang for a place that can accomodate about 70 - 80 girls, do contact them.

http://www.aghome.org.sg/

Do not just feel sorry for them, do more! For we are enabled to do more than just mere words.

joy to the world~RL in Xmas mood already.

God is good...

I was pleasantly surprised that my cell group prayers were answered, I requested for them to pray for a colleague who had her driving test yesterday and she passed! (1st attempt some more) I sincerely hope next time when I learn driving, I can also pass on the first attempt, this morning's after effect of last night's badminton is PAIN Pain and more pain!!! Anyways, for those who love online shopping, here is a good site http://www.my-summershop.com/shop/ Enjoy reliable shopping services from the owner of this site. I bought quite a few great pieces from there as well. Hee! They have work wear, clothes that make you look youthful and really what you see is what you get. Love~ ruth

Arm Pain from Badminton

Whoa! My right arm is hurting like mad. I was playing badminton like for a good 50 mins non-stop. Was considered quite intense for me. I wish tomorrow I can emo at work. Dam jialat.

But the sweat seems worthwhile. I guess this method of weight loss could be quite fun. Instead of the usual running or sprinting I always do. I guess the training and stamina built-up helps me in my game today. Was kinda surprised that I could last 50 mins and I did not drop the ball as many times. Hee!

Ok.... now to Zzzzzzzz ~ RL

Tuesday

I had fun getting started on my blog...more so with the photos section. Had so much trouble starting it. But once it was finished. It was a labour of love. Voila!! anyways, later got badminton with my colleague and her friends.

I had a weird dream last night. In it, I saw my Ex-bf. I was busy running away from him. It was terrible. I awoke and I was almost late for work and its all his stupid fault cos he came into my dreams. Eeeeee....

Alrighty, catch ya later! !~ Love

Getaway...

Lukas & Jann (courtesy of http://www.wongliji.com/)

I am dying to take a short holiday soon. Been wanting to do so for quite a long while away. Do you sometimes get the feeling of whisking away to really relax and just go for a great spa and be away from phones and laptops and internet access. Bliss...pure bliss. My ideal holiday is having a pinic by the beach, with the fine white sand between my toes and I can be left to build sandcastles.

Eat tasty sandwiches and go for a short swim or take the jet ski, later sunbathe and forlick in the beautiful sun. Above are two of my favourite people in my life now, just looking at them makes me remember to... Dream! Yes!!! Dream big dreams and do your best so that God can do the rest.

Food

mushroom & scallop soup @ SAy CheesCake (Great World City) 3 stars out of 5

I cannot do graphic design thou I can suggest what would be nice... and i have the right contacts for your Press / media releases to be emitted to once done.
