You are my strength (Hillsong) cover

You are my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to me

You are my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Reaches to me

In the fullness of your grace
In the power of your name
You lift me up
You lift me up

Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to me

Officially missing you & Hero

I came across Jayesslee today and I fell in love with their voice. It's really good and they compliment each other so well. I think it's simply awesome! They are korean-Australian and are from Sydney, Australia. They have put up a lot of videos since a year ago and they sing worship songs and also in Korean.

Hubby and I spent the evening listening to them. Anyway the one on the left is Sonia and right, Janice. Hubby thinks Sonia (left) is sweeter looking but I find Janice prettier. What do you think?

Also, as I was scrolling through their songs, I clicked on Mariah Carey's Hero and believe me, it's good! It's a difficult song and they sang in their own style. All of a sudden,  I don't dislike that song as much as when MC sang it (too much lah)! Hahaaha.

Dinner conversation

One of hubby's distance cousin is now in Japan and staying over at our cousin's place (same room that we stayed recently) for a couple of days.

Hubby met niece K  over MSN today and was told that the above mentioned cousin said that our cousin's house is dirty. Em..  that's not tactful and come across very rude, don't you think? Please lah, let you stay for free still expect so much, they give you clean sheets, run bath for you in case you want a soak after a long day touring, make you breakfast, give you nice thick comforter, feed you fruits, tell you to make yourself at home, and most likely set up internet access in your room so as to let you stay connected... I think that's very kind and hospitable and di jia zhi zhu. I don't expect so much yet they did that and more. It's a Japanese home, so things are different from Sg. Anyway that man is close to 40.

I wonder how they reacted to this comment.

the start of a flu?

just a ramble. feeling rather sicky now. starting of a sore throat yesterday, seems to be getting slightly worse now, gargled listerine and taking pi pa kao.

stuffy nose and feeling warm- feverish. hope it's not the start of a flu or another round of H1N1. should go away, taking Vits and drinking water.

Hi! ... Meow!

just for fun, a postcard I received awhile back.

I would prefer not

I would really like some people to speak with tact and respect.

Regardless of attitude, character or just plain ignorance, please know that there are people who can get hurt or upset by words that may mean nothing to you. That keeping quiet out of politeness or wanting to avoid  unhappiness is just how we cope and that it is not OK and not acceptable for bad behavior.

That despite stoic appearance, we are learning to handle negative emotions and learning to let it go.

keep on going

there goes my fan too..

wah lau!

fan blade broke into pieces when my mum cleaned it. they say things come in 3 (or is it good things only?)... I hope not. Can't bear for anything else to spoil. sigh, have to buy a new fan.. and we were at Best at Vivo yesterday, there was a OCBC member sale with additional rebate.

arrgh!

Into the chute

As I'm typing this, a man is in our kitchen hammering away on our wall where the dustbin chute used to be. As hubby's luck should have it, the door of the dustbin kena stuck when he threw the milk carton away this morning, then he tried to scrap away chucks of the cement and some stuffs, hammer and pry and finally the door closes, but not fully.

For fear of cockroaches creeping in later.. we decided to part with our money again and called the no. in the classified.

$280 is very ex leh. There's one for $120, but it's the very old fashioned kind that juts out. There's another $180 type but no stock... so we have made our choice.

In a way, it's better to live in the newer HDB flats because the dustbin chutes are in the common corridor and the Town Council will attend to the maintenance. ( I called TC for help and ask for any licensed contractors to recommend) but having a chute in the house also makes it convenient. Oh well, just be contented and make do with what we have now. Same goes for the joy of hanging clothes out into the sun in old flats versus new flats, where drying clothes does not equals to fabrics flapping in the wind and tanning in the sun.

Dinner was..

spaghetti with olive oil, green pepper and corned beef and honey baked chicken from cold storage.

a walk with you to library in this cool cool weather. slight drizzle. umbrella. you me.
