 PARTY HATS heheheeh

 Bffs... Meet Sop soon :'(
 Afterwards, somehow I felt drained because I had to make sure things were going smoothly! We had family dinner at Chil Chil Chicken! And they gifted me a ice smoothie cause they were nice :)

The next day, I went for the wonderful bike outing and my first day at the stables! (Monday) Tuesday I went to take out my stitches for my wisdom tooth extraction. I spent the whole day just resting at home, because tooth pains are just.......... a good reason for a nice day of doing nothing HAHAHA.

 Next day!!!! Actual birthday ~~ (11 Oct)
 Helping my bro with chem in starbucks. Got a venti latte cause why not? Hehe it was my free drink cause I finally got 60 stars on my starbucks card, making me a bronze member (or 2nd level member) !!!
 Yummy cake my aunt got me for Chateraise, which made me happy :)))

Pretty sure I did nothing on Thursday, then I went for GB and tribe cell meeting on Friday! Which was real fun, because if I remember correctly, it was the Mid-Autumn festival celebration!!!! It was super fun because we had zi char and we had karaoke. I learnt that most of my tribe members like chinese songs and I was introduced to a chinese teen boy band called... Yes boys or something like that hahaha.

Saturday...... My pretty packed week and everyday... Didn't update my schedule properly and forgot I had Gkidz training starting at 9.30am..... Realised at 10.30am and took a Grab down. Spent quite a sum on taxi rides this month... I didn't really prepare for the day's events ahead which included running with cell group. I was already unwell and thinking of not running, but I might have been able to swim hahaha.
 SUNDAY ~ HIGHLIGHT. Honestly, what have I done in my life to deserve such fun times? All God's grace! Went for Gkidz in the morning. Had to head to Sembawang Gardens in the evening and since (Kor Kor) Daniel lived at Sembawang, he kindly opened his house for us! We play wiiSports! Hahahaha so fun~~ I feel like I've become a kid again ~~~~ Sweet memories.

I loved the games we played, including karaoke, which was watching others sing. Dancing, which we ran off halfway to get free ice cream :p My first time being a baddie in a long time hahahaha ahhhhhh. And acting, which I failed and the rest just backed me up. (How to act out emoji movie in front of 40 people..... I just froze and smiled)

I loved the atmosphere and the gooood fooood!
 The joy of being with my fellow gkidz leaders!
 Gals. I'm sorry if this is unglam for you all. Still posting because I love you guys. (on behalf of my insta post ♡ )
 Adorable child, qiqi! The first day I came to gkidz 3 years ago I already thought her cheeks were so cute ♡

 Pink sunset we witnessed while walking to the harbor.
 Cai ning, yong qi and yu heng. Who are such well-behaved and good mannered children. Made me realised I want to serve in gkidz with my future spouse too, so that our children can grow to love to serve the Lord as well. ♡
 SPARKLERS! Can this day get any more perfect than it is already???????? I love all theseeee.
 Taking picts with a lit carriage???? What a dream.
 We ended the night with singing a song about a child and hopes and dreams and it's like my top 10 moments in life or something. I uploaded on insta and forgot to save it :/// The memories live on in my mind ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 
Thank you  my dearest celllll for the celebration with me! Though short, I am still thankful ! After recruiting several David club members YAY! I love you guys! I love that I get to see you guys every week ♡ 
 Pretty gifts my cell got me!!!! ♡  I have a crush on that aesthetics
Met my teacher for lunch and it is such a dear memory of mine. Had this fabulous bowl of ava-salmon chirashi and I think it's pretty gooood! At Metropolis, L1, nearby Macdonalds. \

Dear God, thank you for such a wonderful week. Though many times I was just rushing about, I thank you for the moments of love and joy. Memories I will remember and be thankful for when I get tinges of loneliness. I thank You for the pleasure of song and dance, of hugs and friends and smiles, gifts and loved ones. Thank You Jesus for giving me life. I love You and thank You ! ♡ 

Driving...

4:09 AM

Sigh... 


I am so drained now because it takes a lot of concentration to drive and I feel like I had several hours of it or something. Anyway, thanksgiving first because God should be glorified! I passed my driving test today!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the LORD! 

(I think I'm going to ramble a bit today because my thoughts are everywhere) Probably anyone who knows me well enough knows I'm not the most careful person in the world right... I know that too when I'm being honest with myself. It's a flaw.... okay? Anyway, I couldn't pass my test the first round because of several horrendous mistakes, so today was my second try and I was really praying for it to be all okay. 

I messed up my vertical parking and slightly freaked out. I hit the curb at the back when I was doing parallel parking and I was feeling really scared that I would fail already. My tester was a reasonable guy, (in which God answered my prayer) he actually went out of the car to check if I had striked the curb instead of straightaway assuming, and also showed me my mistake. So so thankful. He also had a very encouraging smile and thick mustache, and he didn't scold me when I made mistakes, so I am ultra thankful. God was really helping me, I felt it was a miracle I passed. Even the route I took outside, was an easier route in my opinion. So so thankful. I wanted to pinch my cheeks when I realised I passed. 

*Inner scream* 

I'm still so scared of driving outside. Even more so now, because I am literally a licensed driver and will not be forgiven so easily when I make silly mistakes. My aunt took me out on a drive on her car just now and I'm internally hitting myself for being SO careless.... :-((( I'm used to the driving centre's car and am not as good as controlling her signal signs and predicting the brakes and all........ Like I felt like I threw out what I learnt out of the window... I kept forgetting to signal and everything. I nearly banged a car in the carpark and overshot the stopline by a lot...... because I missed seeing the traffic light when I was accelerating..... Feeling really horrible... Even though I got my license, I really really need to make an effort to be a good and responsible driver on the road. And not let my tester's kindness to waste. He actually told me, "Drive safely" when he passed me. I really feel like I'm letting his good intentions go to waste if I do not perform on the road now like when I did during the test. Sigh.... 

God, please save me! Help me to be careful driver on the road, not to endanger others and to be observant and to discern the road conditions well!!!! 

Still really give thanks because I no longer have to top up money into my driving centre's account. YAY! My money can stop outflowing. This whole driving thing has mainly taught me two lessons: 1. Plan my time ahead to use less money 2. Ask others for advice first so that you don't do silly things and waste money. 

Thank God for everything nonetheless. Praise Him who is kind and great!
