Monday, February 25, 2008 he cares for me so much that i wonder what have i done to deserve all these and no matter how bad the situation is, being in his embrace brings both smiles and tears to my face.. and it makes everything alright again. if a man, who is inperfect, can love me, cares for me so much and being in his embrace can make things whole again, how about God who is perfect, whose love for me is ever-lasting and unconditional right from the start? Who keeps no records of wrong when i seek His forgiveness, and who looks after me unceasingly? 'Moving in the Spirit' weekend was one which i didn't regret going (although i was so tired on friday evening that it was hard to start worshipping initially) and i look forward to the series in June when Pastor Joseph is coming back to Singapore again. the presence of God was undeniable in the place; it was good to be able to soak in His presence and to be touched and refreshed again. met Huiling on friday evening to discuss the plans for cell and as much as it seems like a small role to take on, i want to treat God's calling with respect. it has been two years since i stepped down from youth leadership and it's time to go back serving Him in the area that i've been given the giftings in. //posted by ivy @ 15:04//
Thursday, February 21, 2008 though this is the 3rd week already and it's ending soon.. plus my march is quite packed with trainings and problems to craft and IG planning to do and... blah blah. but.. it's still a break that is superbly welcomed by all! =) and since we're having holiday.. the students are equally free, and so, my dear violet is now helping out with various things for the wedding doing up the designing of wedding invite and order of service for us, and giving some nice ideas for the montage.. whee! =) i had a really scary dream this morning but it was so real everything in the dream was so real, and each time i wake up and go back to sleep, it continues where it stops i remembered holding dear's hand so tightly and the ring was there too i remembered mimi the cat being in the dream i remembered everything i told my boyfriend in the dream.. and it scared me when i woke up because in the dream, i was so very teary for someone who is passing away but each time im awake, everything still stayed so vivid //posted by ivy @ 14:41//
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - called up the caterers to check and now waiting for emails - called up freelancer for wedding invites and inserts - called up florist and made an appointment - called up 5 interior designers and made an appointment with one as well okie..and i'm not doing any work. haha! nothing much to do.. oh well, there are some small itsy bitsy things but i'm just procrastinating. meeting violet in a while since she's helping out for the wedding and having dinner with her before WISE phase 2. haven't drove for nearly a month and feels a bit weird behind the wheel today. and lastly, i love my ring! what a pleasant surprise! supposed to collect end of the month but i guess the re-sizing was pretty fast and my dear fiance sprang a surprise on me yesterday when i was over at his place. it's sitting comfortably on my finger now.. its new home! =) oh.. and i still can't get used to it when people say "he's no longer your boyfriend. it's fiance!" or some goes "husband-to-be". =) //posted by ivy @ 15:58//

Friday, February 15, 2008 spent monday afternoon and tues afternoon to get the 3 documents done for problem review on wed morning and i was glad that it was a stress-less meeting good comments here and there; basically the materials i prepared just need to be amended here and there to make it flow better full set of materials due today but i haven't got anything done! haha. told jane i'll give her by end of monday.. that leaves me the entire mon morning to finish, vet and send. v-day yesterday wasn't a special day for me because i never believed in celebrating it since it's simply a commercialized day spent the evening with 8 other colleagues - 7 girls and 2 guys in total and out of the 7 girls, 2 are married and 2 are attached! so it's not singles-night out after all. it was fun! the camera was our (the girls') constant friend. spent the past hour slacking away in front of my comp, making full use of the internal available to chat with sharon and checking out singaporebrides.com super duper good forum.. you can just spend time reading through everything and that can take you a really long time! boyfriend is busy this entire week so i'll only get to see him during the baptism service on sat next week is equally packed too.. the life of teachers! me being so free now.. since i'm on holiday but he's not. boo. //posted by ivy @ 17:06//
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 she is one of my ex-students two years back and before i knew it, she broke the news that one girl in class (her classmate, peiying) had passed away yesterday taking a moment to recall, i remembered who she was always bubbly, smiling and fun-loving girl in class, and i thoroughly enjoyed having her in class in the past coming back to my office, i saw the thank-you note she gave me at the end of the semester with her it was a painful moment though i've not kept in touch with her for the past years (having her in my msn doesn't really count; we only chatted a few times) it feels weird to see her nick in my msn now, and to know that it'll never appear online again.  what a beautiful girl, and she is gone. lost the battle against cancer and it was too late when the doctors discovered it. life - so unpredictable what a strong and firm reminder that what's here today, can be gone tomorrow indeed, each living day i've is a gift from God, and a sign of his patience towards us. //posted by ivy @ 17:23//
Saturday, February 09, 2008 the first time in many years that we actually spent time talking about my life, my work etc they were both happy to know that i'm a christian now and that i'll be having my wedding in church sometimes i wonder how would things have turned out if my parents haven't been so political about things and started outcasting some of my relatives it's such a joy to have them in my life and i really miss my cousins! in any case, i shall try all my best to invite most of them to my wedding. =) a gentle reminder to discuss the following with baby: - check out photographer (Tian Sheng) and make-up artist (Meiling) - check out Summit Design (Alex, James or William) - check out Home Success - check out Plush Living - check out I-bridge (Tommy, Alvin) - check out Weiken (Future homes) //posted by ivy @ 18:54//
Wednesday, February 06, 2008 nice yummy food and i ate so, so much! he won't be around for the next two days so no going out as usual during CNY like what we used to do time for me to rest and maybe do some planning for wedding (if there's any i can do on my end) oh yah, the proposal is up on his blog --> www.notti.blogspot.com. //posted by ivy @ 23:55//
Tuesday, February 05, 2008 the day of the wonderful proposal i've decided that i'm not going to blog about it; if you want to know, you got to ask either one of us or you can wait to see if my boyfriend blogs about it but i might just put up pictures at a later time. sun. went to resize the engagement ring at night and took a look at their wedding bands as well tried on quite a few and both of us pretty much like one of the designs took us around 15 mins in total before we confirmed our purchase eventually - they will custom made for us! yippie. brand-new rings! =) mon. took leave to enjoy a little bit more boyfriend drove me to town for my facial and spa package with two of my colleagues what a way to start the day uh. after which, we proceeded to grand plaza park hotel to enjoy the yummy lunch and complimentary "lo hei" too. joyce and i then made our way to paragon for me to upgrade my credit cards after she sent in her phone for repair, headed to shop at forever 21 and ended with a drink at starbucks before heading home. tues. a pinkie day for most of the girls we all turned up in pink rather spontaneously without prior planning lena, elena, gail, jacq, jane and me! took a few ridiculous pictures while waiting for staff meeting to start and headed for a drink after that in cafe because they wanna hear the proposal story slacked till 2 plus and tried to do some work in office but most of us failed, left office at 5pm lena accompanied me for dinner at cavana while i ordered the kids' meal again! //posted by ivy @ 22:33//
