Asia Conference

after about a week (6 days to be exact), I am back!!

OH MAN, no doubt that I am physically tireddddd during the 5 days of the Asia Conference (AC) last week. However, far more than that, I am awesomely blessed! Let's go the 'day-to-day-what-happened' kinda blogging style now! ;)

18TH NOV 08

Besides it being the eve of AC, it was also the day that our v v most beloved Taiwan friends came to Singapore! Tell me, how could I not be excited? Heehee..

Rushed down to Raffles City Shopping Mall right after my school to meet them! I was filled with much anticipation as I was train-ing down. :))

and.......... the first person I saw was JAMES! ;) Soon after that met John and then the rest (new friends I got to know this time) came along. We scrolled through to some of the shops and off we went, to Bugis to shop even more. =)

While some of the girls went into DIVA, we started taking pictures outta the shop!


PRESENTING... the brothers! JOHN (younger) and James (Elder)!!
Super funny. They were saying: '哇,你好快啊!(Wow, that's very fast!)
Well, I am referring to the speed of pictures taken using my digi cam. I gotta
agree that this is one of the areas I love it!! The fast capture speed. ;)

So soon, they got used to it. HAHA!



If you are ever thinking, eh, why is John always not smiling...
so unfriendly man... you are wrong! He is a great great friend of mine!
His jokes could be cold too!! HAHA!

three of us! Thanks to Doreen! ;)

See my excitement? Yes, you guessed it. I
rarely post up pictures with my mouth opening wide.
but this is candid shot. And i like the natural touch here. HA! ;P

same cool smile...

here too! HAHA. and so, when Shimin joined in, I requested
John to smile widely. Here goes!

Gives off a totally different feel right? =)
This is why... why I don't like to judge and to be judged by
the way we appear to be. For it is not really who we are ma.
Taking John as an example.. He may appear too cool, but
no, he isn't at all! ;) HEEHEE


SHIMIN, and The 'JJ' brothers! ;)

Opps, my wrong my wrong. Took this picture
and I know it is way too blur. HA.

ESTHER!!!
*P/S: the next few slightly or blur pics are by me...
OPPS. Note to self: IMPROVE IMPROVE! Sidetrack...
gotta admit that I don't camwhore as much recently!
but you know you know... when the time is right, I could
easily hit a thousand and one pictures. :P


the dearest them! not easy to take candid of them man. I would
be discovered v v soon. HAHA.

This spells sweet!!!!!!!

Plus this!!! ;)

ESTHER, yours truly and ANNA! (ppl says that she has the
'Alison' feel, and I agree that too!!! Heehee) :P

a normal one! I was looking cheery that day when I was really
tired before meeting them. BUT yes, this is the effects of seeing them.

XOXO! ;)


ANNA AND JOHN! ;)

SHIMIN AND ESTHER!

3 of us!

while waiting for the rest. Opps, James, sorry! HAHA.


While the rest went to the rest room.. At Mos Burger. :))
**See, I told ya guys that it is not easy to take their candid shots...LOL.

THE TWO LOVELY TEACHERS! ;)

I am so so so so blessed knowing you!!!

went to eat dinner after that. Thus, no pics! All busy eating. HEHE.
Glad that they like the Chicken rice!!!

Went to meet up with Pst Garrick after that outside Topshop and tell me! How
awesome? V awesome to be able to see him after 8 months! ;) As AC starts next day,
we part our different ways after we bid bye bye to them at the taxi stand. :))

19th Nov 08

Missed the electives in the afternoon as I was having classes in school. ._.
Was rather shag as I rushed down from school. Didn't even had time to change clothes. Went into hall 10 as the queue was 'woo-haaa' when I reached. Nevertheless, I was glad that I am able to go for the night session! The opening session was a blast! Indeed, like what Pst Kong said.. Emerge would be like nothing compared to Asia Conference. Simply awesome!!

** I am not gonna summarize what was the program this AC but would elaborate on my take aways in majority... =)


in hall 10!

irritating XY and AWESOME CHEF IAN!

it was his actual birthday too! HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY! :)
&&& know what? He did not just rushed down to Expo from
Bukit Batok... he bought the bread HE BAKED for us!!! Awww...

Ian, you are awesome!!! JIAYOU and have a great year ahead!!

Watching the video of how the the poor and needy are helped just touched me deeply.

I told myself that next day's night session would be more awesome. :)))

20th Nov' 08

Went down to Airport to get some drink at Starbucks and changing etc with PINN BABE
before traveling down to expo with her!! HEEE... BABE, pls know that I really appreciate
you for going down to take a look with me!! Hope that you will be able to join in or something
the next time! ;D

*TO EVE AND BINN lovely: THE PHOTOS WE TOOK THAT DAY (the week before AC) IN CHURCH WAS ACCIDENTALLY DELETED! :((( I am so sad as it is something memorable. Make me happy again by joining us again! HAHA! :P Wanted to blog just about that in a single separate post but nvm, shall do it now. I REALLY THANK YOU GIRLS FOR COMING!!! EVE came down from Boon Lay and both of them readily agreed to come!! I SINCERELY THANK YOU GIRLS for that! For coming down to experience what is church like. :))) *beams*

Even it was just a while, it is enough to know that they
are enjoying the conference....

THANKS JOHN AND JAMES for the goodie!!! :)))))
So touched... really... ;)




21st Nov 08

was serving at Attributes before joining the rest to queue for
the night session. IT WAS GREAT! I HAD A BREAKTHRU!
Handled a cash register on my own, of cos, with great help from
other cashiers. Awesome to meet delegates from all over the world.


FELT SO GREAT TO BE IN HALL 8!!!




22nd Nov' 08

Went for the 'SPECIAL' musical with Rena, Charlton, May and her BF.
man.. BLEW OFF MY MIND!! It was simply awesome seeing how the
children with special needs performing their best. =D CHEERIOS!


Managed to meet new friends while q-ing after this... He is Babuk from India.
Was trying to buy me to believe that he come from Iceland as reflected on his
tag. But well, it was all because he selected wrongly when he signed up online. HAHA!


The two from the left are from KOREA! I love their accents.
and they are really sweet to share Hello Panda and all. :)

beloved JunJie and Benjamin! Love their smiles. =)

23rd Nov'08

FINALE OF ASIA CONFERENCE!!!

Served at Attributes too and yes, AS GREAT!




Lin Jun Jie!! :)






Doc A.R Bernard preached and needless to say, it was AWWW..

It was a blast! In terms of sound too!! Balloons busted sound. ;)

Sang 'xie xie you ni men' and 'this is what friends are for' for ending.. AWW..
heart warming. Indeed, CITY HARVEST CHURCH WAS AND IS WHERE I GROW THE MOST. ;)

I love my church and is very proud to be in CHC!!!!

This is just the beginning of greater things. It is not just about being blessed. IT IS ABOUT WALKING THE talk!! ;) JASMINE IS UP AT ANOTHER LEVEL.

24th Nov' 08

represented the rest to send off the Taiwan friends with Ken. :)

- I was NEARLY spotted by James after alighting from the Taxi!! Thank God didn't.
- Ken reached shortly after that.
- Spotted them and went to where they were standing at, for check-in.
- AHHHHHHHHHH from them!! Heehee.. managed to give them a lil surprise.
- passed them the lil gifts. Nothing near to great, but just something from the bottom of hearts.

*SPECIAL THANKS TO JO AND JOLENE AND XY for making the giving of gifts possible!!









WE WILL MISS YOU GUYS.

They are nothing but sweethearts.

John asked me to get into his backpack and fly off to Taiwan with them.

Aunty Annie told me that I can go her house for stay during the period of time I am there.

AWWW...

was told that another home would be available even if that house couldn't be used.

Then was asked when will I be going to Taiwan.

MAN, can you tell me how not to feel warmth? =)

and at the same time...

make me want to go Taiwan like soon. HAHA. after A&B and everything... I believe that I will be able to!! AMEN (let it be done)!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!! THANKS FOR BEING A PART OF OUR LIVES.



TO SHIMIN: Tho you were not there, your hospitality towards them would be remembered!! Thanks for making a difference... Keep on keeping on girl!!

Relationship

credits : x the 701th post... opps.. totally didn't realize that it is already nearly a month ago since I last blogged; abt AC 2010... since this is the 701th post, let me blog about something a tad more interesting. (ya right, just an excuse lah. HAHA!) Okay, great... i do not know how to start... but still, i know i got to start it somewhere. 4 to 5 years back when Jo was around my age now shared with me that the topic of conversations is surrounded with the word 'Relationship'. Being an innocent young girl (which i self declared to be, still, HAHAH!!), i didn't know or feel the impact until i actually experience it. Friends will start to ask 'when, when'? or 'Jas, what kinda guy are you looking for', etc etc. Honestly speaking, i was almost totally clueless when these questions was first posted to me... and it was then that i started to think of the 'criteria' I look for in a BF/partner. Let me now share some of them... :) 1) He must be in CHC...

beyond the smiles, the laughter and perhaps idk, the strong and courageous girl you see is this part of me who is sad and discouraged. who tears. I do not know where to start and had tried a few times to blog about this, and then finding myself pressing the "X" button. so i will just share exactly how I feel now... you know, it is not easy. to see myself having ezcema. it is hard. to see new spots infected by it. it is terrible to find out occasionally after waking up from sleep that your own fingers, yes, are the 'killer'. all those times of unknowingly itch being attended by them. The spot of blood. the fact that i no longer can wear short skirts and what not. the fact that the scars are so easily visible. Hideous scars. the fact that it got so terrible that two of my colleagues actually asked if i had a fall. it sure did looked like it and i don't blame them a single bit. adding on is my knees who is generally weak as compared to that as a normal person. the ...
