God's perfect love drives away all my fears.

Amen.

Bday post 2

I have more pics but these are just two out of the few we took at the photo booth in 1u.



We call this the "sweet and innocent look".



Just us.

What more could I have asked for- to be able to celebrate my 18th birthday with my best friend who may look older than me but in actual fact I am 5 days more immature than she is. Haha.

Thanks Andrea, had a great

Let all the pictures do the talking.

Okay, in my last post I did promise that I would upload the pics of the dresses I tried on before making my decision and in actual fact, I only had to choose from three, since when it comes to dresses, I am not all so daring to go all out for it yet.(Can't blame me since this is after all my first time buying a dress and wearing it out of the house!)

Before that, the few pics below how I spent my first birthday celebration which was with my family:




My birthday breakfast- something that I have been craving for.





My mum suggested this place since Shogun was a little too expensive and just last weekend, we ate at Sakae Sushi. However, the steak there isn't all too bad. Let me compare with 'Forest Gump' at Curve tomorrow, then I'll let you know.







My sister and I.









The birthday girl, who is finally legally 18!




A little brown dress with a flirty twist?



A simple grey dress?



Or the ultimate LBD? Sexy and yet formal?

Which do you think I chose among the three? The answer? In my next post after tomorrow's outing with my girlfriend! Hehe.

For now, this is

161190-161108: 18 years.

18 years, and not once has He ever let me down, the One who has held my hand through life's journey- through all the happiness, sadness, the friends I lost and the loved one that I lost. I've learned plenty from the little events that have taken place in my life and though some may have been painful but I know that God has placed each and every one of those events in my life for a specific reason and I've learned what are the most important things in life: trust, loyalty, faith, and love.

This morning when I woke up, all I could do (honestly) was to thank Him abundantly for everything and it made my morning perfect. To be able to serve Him on my birthday, what more could I ask for? Especially since He is the one who created me and gave me the air I breathe and the life I live.

To those who wished me, thank you very much for your wishes. Very much appreciated. One funny thing- two weeks ago, I prayed "God, I don't care if I don't get any other presents, I just want two specific gifts for this year." Be Careful of What You Pray For! Haha. Not complaining, because finally I've found a way to combine my two FAVOURITE THINGS IN THE WORLD: ANCIENT EGYPT HISTORY and SHOPPING. Right after this, I shall be going to 1U to hunt down for an Egyptian book; which I have been craving for and a dress; which I promised my best friend I would buy for my 18th birthday. Who is going with me? Like DUH! My family!!! What better way to spend my birthday, than with the people who love me unconditionally and have supported me all my life (hmmm...wondering whether they are forced to love me and btw, I have to drag my dad along since he is the one I'm showing those puppy dog eyes to today when I bring both the book and dress to the cashier...haha.)

However, if anyone is so kind and loving enough...wait...and VERY RICH! I would really love to own a PORSCHE BOXTER!!!! And for a few of my friends who have asked, "Why not just ask them for a ticket to Egypt?" My reply: Though it may sound like a good idea but to go to Egypt and learn all that it has to offer- I rather save up because by using my own money to travel all the way there, I know I'll be so proud of myself for having been able to achieve a life-long dream of mine!

Let's see whether I manage to find the book and the dress without burning my dad's wallet- praying hard! If I do, then those will be up on my next post.

That is all for now...and oooo Happy Belated Birthday Ariel!!! hehe.

Love,

chelle

Thoughts running through my mind

FINALLY!!! I can actually say FINALLY with all my strength and might!!!!!!!!

FINALLY EXAMS ARE OVER!!!! *jumps up and down*

The past two to three weeks have been beyond craziness as I've been having classes literally everyday from 9 am to 7 pm. However, that is all over now and I am so thankful to one person who has just been there for me through it all- God- DUH!!! He's just given sufficient strength to carry on through the pass weeks and I know it was Him who just helped me through it all. Thus, I do serve an amazing God, whom I know will never let me down.

Was talking to a friend just now and as usual, girls, we were talking about everything under the sun and it brought back a memory- not so happy one; which I've kind of just locked up in the back of mind. But recalling every detail of it has just set me in this emo mood but again it reminds me to just be careful and to learn from the mistakes I made.

Obviously, I shan't be anymore detailed. By the way, I really; really wonder why do we need to keep listening to people talk to us about BGR? I honestly don't see the point of it especially when Love is just going to hurt you, so why bother investing in it?

My latest fave song.

All this time I was wasting
Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long
Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again
But not this time around

Looking so innocent
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cause it's worked each time before

song by: Taylor Swift.
Title: You're not sorry

Post 101

Cannot wait for it all to be over...two more days and I'll be able to enjoy a wonderful and peaceful good night sleep...

With Your strength I'll carry on.

Get your facts right.

I was 'online-ing' yesterday (which I shouldn't actually be doing so, but who cares) and one of my friends IM-ed me saying "those priceless treasures are junks".

Okay, you can criticize me but don't expect me not to stand for my own rights. You can even try to criticize my very close friends, if you magically can speak after I knock the lights out of you. Even worse, you trying to criticize the love of my life without you knowing your own facts! Don't ever try saying or reasoning with me that those "priceless treasures are junks" without a single knowledge of all the History that lies within it.

If you think that it doesn't make sense in today's world- let me just give you an insight, if you are doing medicine, Egypt had the best medicine in the ancient world and it was because of their ability to mummify their kings and all, that is where your knowledge of medicine came from. If you are an architect, PYRAMIDS are the most amazing buildings in the world- three of which were build with a maximum of 2 mm error compared to each other, all those ancient buildings were inspired by Imhotep; where many of your architecture stuff derived its knowledge from. If you study Maths, guess what! Pythagoras- the maths dude...he studied in Egypt!

So before you even try and say that those "priceless treasures are junks" recheck your History knowledge...don't try crapping with me about such things. So you can continue complaining to me about your busy life and all those expectations! Whatever...you criticize Ancient Egypt's history, you can forget about me being all caring towards you.

What I learned?

I've been studying English Literature for the past two weeks and I've learned something from the novel that I am studying- Mill on the Floss-

"If your lover deprives you of your own happiness and forces you to sacrifice the happiness of those whom you love, evidently he cares nothing for your welfare and all that matters to him is his happiness. Therefore, he is not a man who truly loves you."

Yup, that is what I learned...well okay, only one portion of the novel la but it is a huge part of the novel.

Egypt!

There was a MPH warehouse sale the whole of last week and my aim of going was to get both the Narnia series and also a book on Egypt.I found both but to my disappointment the Narnia book did not have Ben Barnes (hottie!) on the cover and the Egypt book I bought was like a 'Peter n Jane' book. However, forget Narnia for now, I read the Egypt book which is on King Tutankhamun and I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT ALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN! And last night after class (which ended at 8 pm and came back home at 9:30) I managed to take an hour break and found a very interesting series on Discovery Channel- 'Egypt's Greatest Discovery!!!!'How can I resist such temptation?! Okay, a few places that I will visit in Egypt are 'Seti 1st tomb', 'Tutankhamun tomb', 'Abu Simbel's Temple' and the Giza pyramids! *faints*

How am I going to study when all of Egypt is running through my mind? Sobs! I want Egypt NOW!
