We had a CG chalet fr Thursday to Sat morning..to celebrate 3 of the members birthday, and it was nice....to play, bbq, walk at kelong and game...and playing board games etc. Really quite glad it worked out in the end. =) Was really glad that Jonathan came over to help, and he was really great help in the end...helping to bbq the food and clearing up, and also helping me think of games. I'm really so touched that he fasted 3 days for the chalet. =) Even though he was having his own issues. Yups...aniwae thursday night CG was fantastic, cos I could see the mbrs were being ministered to by God and encouraged. Hope that everyone will press on!
I took 1 day off today...post chalet rest! Been so busy organizing it...then anyway I went out with Jon, he had a free voucher for a buffet lunch! And we went to visit Rama, whom he met at Macdonalds before. He stays in one room flat, has problems with his left hand and isn't able to find a job. So Jon got him canned food and also a mattress to sleep on, and we prayed together for him. It was really nice. Fulfilling wat the bible calls us to do, meeting the needs of the poor! =) Yups...we are thinking of doing more, maybe giving out xmas gifts to the neighbourhood near christmas? Feel so happy thinking abt that.
So the big question, why did Miss Ng get attached to a guy she only knew for such a short time. Is it too fast? =) I guess that time by itself is not the sole factor. But the chemistry, compatibility and vision is there. We both want to do something for the ple who hurt, and we share many similarities. And the chemistry is there. This is not a rash decision. In fact I find it rather divine. Today I stumbled upon his prayer diary and as I looked at his prayer requests, I feel that he is such a godly man. We also visited christian bookshops and browsed at books...heh, jon is a guy who likes to read! Me too! I guess as we know each other better each day, we just love each other more. This may sound totally mushy..but I do feel that the whole thing is so divine. =) And I am happy that God is a provider, even for relationships.
Who is my boyfriend Jonathan. Just a short intro, he is 26 this year, and he studied political science and development in University of New South Wales. His chinese is not very good..I'm gonna give him chinese tuition. He is fr Trinity Christian Centre. He is very interested in development, and helping the poor, so is looking for a job that is related to that. =) Anything else u need to know, just ask me!
Yup it has been a wonderful weekend, and tmr I'm back to work. :) Hope that I will have a great week ahead. :)

u will, cos it's a short week!
hmm..glad to know that the two of you are so aligned in terms of interest and beliefs. allays my (n other frens, i'm sure) concerns somewhat.
thanks for telling us more, and not keeping us wondering about the mystery man who managed to sweep our XJ off her feet! :D
mm... yep, true, too.. (i.e. other frens' concerns)..
:P woah mannn this' a whole post of gushing... cant stand it, ah..past my limit liao... hahaha..
It may not be a 'rash' decision, but it appears much quicker for you based on comparison with past experiences...:P heh. But who's to say... maybe what's right is right, and what's not is not.
Mm... i guess, im not sure/i don't know, loving someone will mean accepting the entire person, which includes the gd points, bad habits/flaws n idiosyncracies, etc? Loving the person's soul beneath the many layers, and regardless of how he changes as time passes. Of course, it includes the inevitable gushing in admiration at all e endearing traits most apparent to one in love, la.. Don't be blind to "faults", too, to prevent 'shocking' discoveries in future?
Hee.. happy discovering n growing deeper in love..=)
(oops, wat's this..ai qing gu wen? so long..:P so sorry.. Am sure u know love better than me :P)
Mm... i just went to one-room flats in Hougang on Sun, too, coincidentally.. for a family visit.
Anyway, saw an old uncle sleeping at in corridor, heard from bro that he has been thrown out by his family who lives in the opp block for some time. The mattress he was sleeping on was given to him by my dad when he went last week, and the uncle thanked him as we walked by. Mm..i guess compassion is one of my dad's most admirable traits, and ironically, the one that he doesnt boast about (cos i think he doesnt know)!..
Much work to be done in those areas.. Guess the xmas gifts are a gd idea. :)
Hv a great week ahead..:) I got my work mail liao.. hee. Sent u a mail 2dae..
hi my dear frens..
XT, I think from the start we never idealised each other nor think of each other as perfect. But we started off by sharing our concerns, our weaknesses and our pasts. And it is within such premises that we went into a relationship..knowing fully well that both of us are imperfect. And yet that we can challenge each other and help each other to grow to be better ple. In fact, any relationship should exist on a premise of honesty and sharing. =)
gush gush gush :)
Keep it up!
jet
true. It was just a tiny note of caution la..(think wrote too long) cos u were praising him all the way. Maybe an effect of being "swept off e feet". :P
But i said i know u know better..
ok la, gush la. ;P
