I miss my blog

I miss blogging at my blog.... Think i should blog sometime soon :) exam period :( STRESSEDDDD!

HI!

Hello!

I'm back. been lazy updating blog and i was thinking of creating hand-written journal instead. Anyway have been reading some books but have yet to finish them and so cant intro any yet. Many things have happened, good and bad, happy, sad and angry. But all thing had had their exit.

I wouldnt say i have a perfect life story or a exciting one. Everything is normal and many things have changed. i think i've changed too, in some way. but not sure if its noticeable yet. Trying hard to change the way i want it to be and hoping to be better :)
My bf has asked me to change in someways, some i think is true and helpful, some are just not being who i am which i consider not changing, especially after a talk with him about himself, i too would like him to change some stuff but he said that he wouldnt be him. so if i make myself change to something not i wanted, it wouldnt be me.

No matter what, i know i'm not a totally nicey nicey person nor a totally bad person. just normal and so i do want to change to be a nicer person (i always wanted) like how i acknowledge having bad temper and sometimes in some situation impatient and strong headed which is totally not helping la! so i'll change that :)

what a exciting year (at least for me as i've been through many things myself) and it's coming to an end. Have you prepared yourself for the season and a new year coming? i'm still preparing...

May all the best to all my readers,
(i not be updating as often anymore)

Loves,
Charmaine

Reflection

Recently many many unpleasant things happen and it made me go crazy. Thinking very immaturely and not being my usual self. Nothing was going right and it made me feel so helpless and lost....

I feel sick for one whole week and its not getting much better.....

Its time to take some time off and sit down and thing through things properly, just thinking, reflecting and nothing else.

I sat down and think through things one by one and realise that i wasn't really thinking and processing things all along and making the wrong decisions or made the decisions and regret it because i wasn't able to get what i want. I think i was stubborn. I wasn't being the strong and perspective person i used to be. My strong self is getting tired and giving in. I need rest.

There are things that i have to let go and let the situation take control. let God help with the flow. I have to learn to release my grip on things before my hands start to bleed.

Now, i'm more relax and cleared many thoughts and have made some decisions to change in the way i do things. I guess i just can't be strong forever in all things. I am a normal person too and i have to admit it. 

It's time for a rest :)

The Measures of a Young Man

Hello all!,

Today i'm going to intro another book to my dearest blog readers. This book is our study books in church youth fellowship and its very motivational as it talks about how we can make a difference by talking to our close ones and building relationships along the way. When we face with difficulties and challenges how we are to face it with faith in God and pray for his guidance and to brave to face the challenge. :)

Backcover:
When his son, Kenton, was in junior high, pastor and bestselling suthor Gene Getz wrote a series of letters to him baed on 1 Timonthy 4:12: "No one should despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." Out of that powerful, life-shaping verse, Gene drew seven principles that he hoped would inspire Kenton to become a young man of faith, strength and godly character. Gene knew that true manhood doesn't happen by accident, and he prayed that his son would choose the right path.

In The Measure of a Young Man, Gene and Kenton, who is now a husband and father of five, have teamed up to share those seven principles with you. Inside, you'll be challenged to find your identity in Christ and to set high standards for yourself in words , in daily living, in loving others, in growing your faith and in sexuality. Good choices in these areas of life are what separate the men from the boys. Which will you be?

I don't understand....

It's always said that parents know their child best but sometimes it doesn't seems that way to me. They have troubles with their work but we also has ours in life. It's always so coincidental that whenever I meet with mine, either of my parents will come and ask me for help in something or just ask something. When you face problems you will usually hate people to come bother you. But I already tried my best to help as much as I can but they just always thinks that I'm not doing enough and thinks that u have attitude problem or bit sincere in helping at all. Den I get scolded -_-" the worse thing is it breaks my heart when he says that he 白疼我了. They face problem, not happy can release. I face problem, not happy cannot release. I totally can't understand la!!! Yea people don't usually bother about ppl but themselves. But maybe because I do that's what make me feel bad and sad. I want to take it easy but my years just decided to run down my cheeks. Well I feel better now after venting it here and talking it out to someone. I guess i'll just have to continue to learn to take such things as norms and hopefully in time I won't take things so hard on myself. Time to watch some comedy to make me feel happier :) Bye bye and good nights :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

To all my loved ones and to whom loves me :)

International Remembrance Day 11th Nov

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty since World War I. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918; hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.)

Dialogue In The Dark. - Singapore

What if you had to go through your daily routine without seeing anything?

Today i got a chance to go for a tour at "Dialogue in the Dark- Singapore" which is located in our very own school campus (Ngee Ann Polytechnic)!!!!!!

Our school scheduled our experience under our world issue module to let us have a experience what it is like to live in the dark and learn to appreciate and learn to care for those visually impact friends around us.

My guided tour in the dark was guided by our awesome tour guide Serene! She is a very cheerful and nice person and she also gladly shared with us her story. We really appreciated her guide today!

SERENE!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!

Want to know more about her and her friends who are working as the friendly guides at Dialogue in the Dark? Feel free to take a look HERE!

Want to experience living in the dark too? It's definitely a fun experience to "tour" Singapore with your other senses other than vision!!!!

Visit their website for more details @ Dialogue in the Dark

You can also book online HERE!

Brief about Dialogue in the Dark!...

Home & Concept

Dialogue in the Dark (DiD) Singapore puts visitors in everyday situations - except in complete darkness. Simple things like crossing the street or visiting a hawker centre suddenly become extraordinary challenges.

Blind guides lead visitors through simulated environments. In the darkness, visitors are forced to rely on their other senses. Role reversal takes place. The blind become the ones with mobility and confidence.

Darkness opens visitors to new ways of experiencing the world around them. Visitors learn what it means to live without sight. In having to navigate darkened environments, they also appreciate the value of effective communication and understand those who see the world differently.

Dialogue in the Dark Singapore is an exclusive collaboration between Ngee Ann Polytechnic (through Social Lab Ltd) and Dialogue Social Enterprise. Originally founded in Germany, Dialogue in the Dark has reached 30 countries since 1988, impacting over six million visitors and creating thousands of jobs for the visually impaired.

The Power of a Praying Teen!

Finished reading this during the last 2 weeks of holiday and it made me thought why i hadnt start reading it any earlier. The last two weeks was very fulfilling being able to complete reading this book.

A little summary if you are interested about this book:

Product Description

Along with Scripture verses and true stories of teens in action, The Power of a Praying^® Teen addresses key issues young people face, including

• purity
• peer pressure
• insecurity
• body/self–image
• friendships

Each segment of the book concludes with a prayer teens can follow or use as a model for their own prayers. Easy–to–access chapters focus on what it means to be maturing in all areas of life, including talking to God in prayer.

From the Back Cover

Discover the power.
Change your life.
Change the world.

When you pray, are you sure God hears you? Do you sometimes wonder if your words are hitting the ceiling and evaporating into thin air? Do you ever doubt that your prayers really can make a difference?

Well, the truth is, they can not only make a difference, they can be life transforming.

In The Power of a Praying® Teen, discover how learning to pray can change everything. Through prayer, God can lift you above the pressures of your life so you can see His unique plan for your future. Twenty topical chapters will help you to…

• have a closer walk with God
• say goodbye to negative emotions
• attract good relationships
• stand free of peer pressure
• be a light for others

What’s important to you is important to God. Share all that is on your heart, starting with the prayers offered at the end of each chapter. Talk with God. Hear from God. And see His great purpose for you unfold.

So to end of this post here's a little prayer to all who are like me, who are starting school tmr (or already started school )

Dear Lord Jesus,

In life we face lots of difficulties and incidents where are think that we are too young to handle, but please help us to remind ourselves that you, our God is there for us and all this challenges are given to us to help build us in all ways, no matter whether is it spiritually (to build our faith and trust we should have in you) and also physically and mentally.

In school we will face with many stress problems such as school projects and workload but Lord, we know you will be there for us to help us through all things that we are going to experience and to learn from what you have prepared for us.

Help us to continue to pray and have faith and trust in you that we will be able to show your grace in whatever we do in school, work or home and bring the best that we can in everything we do.

I pray that we can all endure in whatever we are doing continue to love you and one another and praise you for all things :)

May all of us succeed in all we are doing and have a blessed start of week ahead!

In Jesus name i pray,

Amen!
