embracing adulthood

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Vanessa Miriam Chong

I love God.
I want to love His people,
His wonderful creation.

I live a victorious life everyday,
because my saviour has triumphed.

I want to tell the world of my story.
The story of how Jesus and His love has filled me

I will follow Him the rest of my life
And i will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

went night cycling with whoa on sat night! had real lot of fun! been so long since ive been on a night cycling trip. and i totally love the feeling of the wind on your face. anyway its our first time riding on the road itself. super freaky la. but we made it safe and sound thanks to JXN who made us block out the whole lane like some fools hahaha and cars started honking at us. there was one point where the bus was like 2cm to my right and 2cm on my left was the curb. we were traumatised that when we stopover at bugis, (where we saw a lot of people) we decided to pray for safety. yes in the middle of bugis junction. haha. where the ticket box of the cinema was. yes so imagine the scene. 5 sweaty and dirty fools with bikes standing in the middle of bugis junction and praying. hahaha. ok but it was quite cool. haha.

had very very nice orh lua at newton circus.

then moved on to upp thomson for roti prata.

passed by a ming's pub but dun worry, we didnt go in. at least not when we're sweaty and stinky.

then we moved on to orchard. took a few shots at goodwood park hotel. super nice pictures. im proud to say i was the photographer for the vvvv nice and perfect jump shot.

we revisited the paragon stage but alas! it was all covered up and we could only took from the sides, reminscing or dance moves. haha.

then we went on to clarke quay to gain some insights on singapore's nightlife and we sure did see a lot. but we really looked like 5 fools in sports attire and bikes. haha. went on to esplanade but there wasnt much to snap. took some stuff at fullerton instead. it was without lights and i dont know why.

then went to geylang to have dim sum! ok la not like fantastic but not bad la. the drinks were v cooling. but cos we didnt eat enough so we went on to yong he. JXN ordered this salty soya bean thing that i cannot stand. haha. and we had the pork floss thingy. we were starting to get saturated and all. laughing at the slightest things. so we reckoned we should get back since we didnt want to get caught in bus jams again. haha.

then went back to east coast lo. and had to wait for the bike shop to open at like abt 8 plus 9. got nothing to do so started playing bridge. then sh went toilet so JXN and i played stress. that fella, play smelly one. then we started having saturated conversations abt those tai chi uncles and aunties and whatever. hahaha.

then! cos we stopped outside JXN's hse before going back to east coast to top up water and JXN say he brought some food. yuan lai, it was thier surprise for me!!! handmade cookies!!! hahaha. dont laugh when u see the pics. it was originally v nice. hahaha. but some JX brains had JX common sense and decided to add self-raising flour and baking soda and everything just PENG ZHANG-ed. omg.

before...

and after... hahahaha

so we went home and slept for abt 3 hours and we went church to play netball. for a moment i thought i was iron woman. hahahaha. after heading home i concussed at 9pm all the way until this morning and i was still v tired. hahaha.

hai all this crazy times made me feel like im 16 again. been so long since we had fun like that. all the talking cock and laughing for NAR (no apparent reason) and doing stupid things, daring each other to do stupid stuff for 10 bucks. hahaha. in all, i had so much fun thanks to my babes!
