By my nature,I am not someone who loves shopping (strange for a gal)..Unless there is a need,if not,I think window shopping is a waste of time.Even if I really have the urge to go shopping,it is really because I just needed a break from business of life or I reallly need to get some stuff.Even when I need to buy things,I will walk into a shop,scan through its stuff & if nothing catches my attention,I will soon be out of the shop.
I went Vivo yesterday nite after finishing work ard 8pm..I just needed that break to be on my own,away from people,work,etc..In the end,I bought a new moisturiser,a new eye-gel,2 T-shirts,1 blouse & 1 top..It costs me a total of $140..Not bad siah,considering that I have not gone shopping for several months..I cant even remember when was the last time I went shopping & ended buying stuff..
Wanted to get some pants at Mango but it is simply too crowded & I have absolutely no wish to squeeze into the shop..
Hopefully,I can still get some pants & skirts for work,some more casual tops & bottoms at a good buy during this Great Singapore Sale.
Actually,it is a good feeling to shop alone sometimes..No need to hear opinions from others,no need to be indecisive..So ladies,next time,why don’t you go shopping alone? It can be a amazing discovery.

Lately,several people have talked to me about this: is our love for people unconditional (like God’s Agape Love) or is it a love that comes along with lots of conditions? Different incidents happened to different ones (including myself) & this is what causes me to write.
As believers,we have received the Agape love from God but how much are we willing to pour this love to the people around us? The bible says that the world will see Christ when we have love for one another. But the question is, “Is our love conditional?”; “Is our love measured according to who the recepient is?”; “Is our love given really out of a sincere & true heart?”
Sometimes when people fail us,do we actually love them lesser?
Or do we love them more when they fulfill certain conditions that we expect or when they have completed this…and that…
Do we reserve our love to those we are closer to or more familiar with?
There is always a risk for us to fall into the trap that our love becomes a “conditioned kind of love” as we live in this world.But this is not that kind of love that God wants us to carry & portary.
It is easy to say that you love someone. But loving someone takes effort,time,money,sacrifices,your whole being,etc. Loving someone has a price to pay.
People are not interested to know what you know but they want to know how much you care & love,how willing are you to walk that extra mile with them.Lip service is cheap until you start doing what you say.

The goodness of God is undoubtedly always evident in our life..Thank God for the very air that you are breathing now..These few days has really been very stressed & stretching for me..Hving just finished Emerge,my mum just had heart bypass op yesterday..
When I thought that my mum can be out fm ICU today & transferred to high dependency ward,I received a call frm dad at 6+ then my mum’s heartbeat is irregular..Though the doc say this is normal after an op,I just can’t help but worry..
When I took worship,I felt that the goodness & peace of God was so real..Suddenly,I felt that my mum will be in good hands & somehow or rather,God will send His angels to watch over her..
After the meeting,1 of my mbr came to me & handed me a cheque..It was a blessing of $2K…
$2K may not mean alot to some people but to me,it meant alot..Not just that it helps financially..But is the love behind that gesture,giving & sowing into my life..I almost burst out in tears..
Tonite is just amazing..is as if God reminding me about His goodness & He still remembers me..
