God ~

Have you ever stopped a while to think
how God has been working in your life
how He was involved in everything that you did
even into the nitty gritty stuff that people wouldn't care
even into the depths of our hearts
which people would never know?

And when you look back and see
"eh... sneaky sneaky..."
you realised that whatever good things
whatever bad things
that have happened to you
worked out for a reason.
These events have occured
and have been allowed by Him
to teach you about life and Himself

and to me,
the most important thing is to rejoice
rejoice
REJOICE
in these events.
no matter how cruel life may be
no matter how irritating people around you can get
no matter what mistakes that you've made
He is always there to guide you
protect you
give you peace
assure you

so will you take the stand to give Christ the chance
now
right now
yes now
not later
not tomorrow
not another day
to be in the centre of your life
to allow Him to work within the depths of your heart
to follow His unflawed, perfect plan
that He has laid out for you

you know it's real
you know it's true
so why aren't you?
it doesn't happen in a blink of an eye
it doesn't just *bam* change like that
nothing will hit you straight away
people around you won't change themselves for you
but slowly by slowly
you will notice the little change in you
and it will grow
grow
Grow
GRow
GROw
GROW

and without realising it
people will notice the difference in you
a heart after God
not the world
a heart that pleases Him
a beacon of light that shines out
extinguishing the darkness that lurks around
both in you and in others
this is being a Living Testimony of God

will you take the stand
will you accept Him
will you stand firm in His Word
will you believe that He is there to bring you up
not pull you down
and to be with Him
forever
in His 2nd coming

no one can force you
for the choice is yours
and it isn't too late yet
His light is still shining.

Safe Baking?


As mentioned in Dor's blog, yup we sticked to safe baking after our first attempt at cooking dinner for my family, which welllll, ended up tasting quite ok, despite all the worries about the blandness of our main course soup =P

Flipping through a cookies/muffins/cake book that she had purchased recently, Dor pre-selected 3 types of muffins that we could try.... Blueberry, Choco muff & White Choco. Well, she had already known which of the 3 i would have chosen, but hey, what matters is the task of doing it together =)

// Caster sugar | vanilla essence | self-raising flour | unsalted butter | buttermilk //
What are these man... i even had problems finding them when we were in cold storage, lol. But luckily she knew where to find them =) My 18 years of experience in IT apparently didn't help either =P

(I even thought i could drink the buttermilk on its own, but haha when i poured it out, it looked like some milk mixed with corn, and the smell wasn't all too sweet-smelling =P)

Once we were done with the mixing and preparation, the actual baking was left for Mr.Oven =) Meanwhile we just walked around, peeked into the oven glass from outside, and took many photos using the glass reflections =)



After about 20 mins of heat..... "yay!" It looked good =)
Tasted kinda sweet though (i'm a sweet tooth and i found it quite sweet, so imagine diabetic people =P) but there were good comments by Dor's relatives =) So "double yay!" =)

Wanna try? =)

Key of my Heart?

I think i'm hooked on such short quizzes.... =P

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Am I Romantic?

Wuuu.... there are quite a lot of different tests.
Maybe they aren't very accurate to the dot, but i guess it's fun to try them out =)

You Are A Romantic Realist

You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.
And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...
But you'd never admit it to your friends!

What's in my brain?

Found this out recently, and decided to give it a shot to see what i'm made of =)

You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.
