random thoughts

Being romantic is not an innate thing.
It means to have the heart to want to put effort to display love in your actions/gestures.

Or perhaps, I have too high an expectation that everyone should think like me.

UPDATES!

Just felt like posting some updates :)

1. Had a good trip to BKK with BF and my awesome uni people :)
Full of non-stop shopping and walking which left me rather fatigue for the rest of the week.
Loved and enjoyed the time away from work, though and simply spending all my time with my dear boyfriend who really took great care of me throughout the trip :)

2. Work is becoming kind of depressing. I am trying to find the meaning of my work right now.
Want to work for a good meaning. Want to work so that I can make God proud :)

3. Night safari with boyfriend for the 1st time :)
Had tuition prior to that and my fatigue hit me real bad that I had to head to boyfriend's place to nap before we could set off to the Night Safari.
The whole experience there with boyfriend was awesome.
Felt like an awesome date with him, rather than a normal trip to the Night Safari. ^^
Was feeling kind of bad 'cause of my fatigue that I wasn't that much of a good company for boyfriend.
Hopefully, Boyfriend enjoyed it as much as I did :)

That's all for the updates for the week :)

Valentine's Day is round the corner.
Queues outside the florists have started to grow ridiculously long.
Some say V-day is over-commerialised.
Some feels that V-day is a day of the display of love gestures for your loved one/significant other.

My thoughts? I haven't been able to spend vdays properly to arrive at any firm conclusion like the abovementioned, I guess.
but still, being a hopeless romantic, I do feel and agree with the song lyrics of Fish Leong's song:
"其实爱对了人, 情人节每天都过"
so well...(totally forgotten what I want to say already)
Well, I feel that everyone should still put in effort into the r/s at all time even if it's not vdays.
Simple gestures of love can be shown/given at any time. It's just how much you are willing to put in for the relationship, I guess.

hahaha. actually, I particularly enjoy watching the hopelessly clueless guys panicking in shops/florists about what to get for their significant other. Maybe I should get off work on time to go amuse myself tomorrow.
hahaha. (good idea, actually.) :D

Happy Valentine's Day to all in advance!
Stay happy in love and cherish each other with all your love and might :)

29 January 2012

It's been awhile since I've last written anything in this space of mine.
Really been overwhelmed with work and with the CNY celebration,
I barely have time to even rest more, much less to find time to blog.

Maybe just some random thoughts and updates as I wait for my photos to upload in my facebook:

1. CNY celebration was not too bad. Pretty enjoyable, less the unnecessary nagging.
But the bus breakdowns were horrible and made me ultra grumpy.
And I was super glad to be back in singapore!

2. Work has been hectic as usual. More stressful of late, I must say, with all the turnover.
Hates working with a sense of distrust. Hates having to deal with unethicality and lack of integrity, especially when we are working in a Christian organisation. And especially when we call ourselves Christians or even children of God. What kind of testimony are such people living out for the people of the world to see? I just dislike the fact that such people ended up being the ones bringing distrust, trauma to others. What has happened to your Christian values?

Goodness. Man, I shouldn't be judging. But God will be the judge. Sometimes, I do question just as certain people would ask me, why does the God whom we always proclaim to love us, would put us through such times. Well, I have found the answer quite some time ago. The cliche way of saying would be there are always reasons for everything. As Christians, it's already said in the bible that we would have to go through the tests of trials and tribulations. Thus, I have long learnt to not question "WHY ME?" or "Why is God doing this to me?". It's easier to ask and try to figure out "What is God trying to teach me or tell me?" And truly, when we seek the Lord to simply ask, He will surely answer as He has promised.

I pray that the Lord will reveal and expose the unrighteousness, lies and deceptions of things which do not glorify His name. And that, He will strengthen the sense of discernment of the top management to make the right decisions.

3. CNY Lunch steamboat with Happy gang was awesome. Yusheng is unexpectedly good. Really ate too much and went into food coma. Played cards. Win some and Lost some. Mahjong session was awesome and full of fun and endless laughters.

That's all for today ba. Can't wait for end of Thursday.

hello 2012.

hello 2012.

thank God for being in control all the time.
thank God for His timing and for His answering of prayers.

and even more so, thank God for my boyfriend :)
so many a time, I simply woke up every morning feeling so blessed to have him in my life.
It's just so indescribable, beyond words.
At times, I find myself just smiling at the thought of him and the little things he does.
Mornings feel weird w/o morning messages from him.
Weeks feel lacking when I don't get to meet him.
Everyday I find myself looking forward to each and every date I get with boyfriend.
Everyday I look forward to the time I get to talk to him on the phone, just simply to hear his voice.
Everytime I want to plan for my leaves or a holiday, he's the first one I think of to spend time with / go with.

and everyday, he's just growing to be a bigger and more important part of my life.

I love you, dear Desmond.
happy 5 months, love :)

31 December 2011

It's the last day of Year 2011.
Officially just a couple more hours to Year 2012.

Year 2011 has been more than a roller coaster ride for me but I thank God for putting me through it all.

Officially graduating from university.
Finally planned and went on a trip independently with awesome friends for the first time in my life.
Found a job with an awesome boss who loves me.
Found an awesome boyfriend who loves me more than anyone else.
Grew in my walk with God.
Found friends who really stood by me through it all.

What more can I ask for?

Goodbye 2011 and hello 2012, please be nice to me :)

`shall do my new year resolution tomorrow. hahaha

那些年,我们一起追的女孩

终于看了"那些年,我们一起追的女孩"。
不知我已暗示无数次了,我亲爱的男友才决定陪我看。
是有点被逼的吧。嘻。。

很久以前就读过这本书。
当时读的时候,可能就觉得是一般写得不错的爱情小说之类吧。
我以前实在是太过浪漫主义了;整天沉迷于爱情小说。
整天都在发梦,心想何时才能像小说里的女主角一样找到真心爱我的人。
想起来,现在也还是整天发白日梦,还是很浪漫主义嘞!
哈哈。

今天又看了这本书的电影。
似乎感觉跟以前完全不同。
看电影的过程,真令人感触良多。
不但勾起了回忆和不少的感动,也带着点触景伤情的感觉。

可能是已经历了不少的事。
可能是已到了会怀念的年龄。

唉!真的挺怀念以前的青春。
怀念那自由自在,我行我素的青春。
怀念那些无谓的暧昧,暗恋情环。
怀念那些无聊又疯狂的行为。

怀念但不带着遗憾,也不觉得要回到过去。
我庆幸我已经历了那么多,也成长了许多。
我庆幸我现在过得比以前更好。

这个故事并不是写着感伤。
在不同的心境在生命中不同的阶段,看这故事都会有着不同的感触。
我个人的感触是,作者想提醒我们,
我们每个人都有自己刻苦铭心的故事。
我们都度过了那青涩的时光,我们也从经历的种种成长了。
所经历的,凡开心或伤心的,都仅仅属于回忆。
也就因着经历过那么多了,所以学会了更要珍惜现在。
不是吗?

而我,真的很庆幸能够遇见你。:)
也谢谢你真心地爱我。:)

带着淡淡忧郁的星期五夜晚

 不知怎么的,看着雨点一滴一滴地落下,心情也似乎沉了下来。
 是不开心吗?应该没有吧。
 是悲伤吗?好像也不是。
 可能是下着雨的夜晚特别的寂静,才会让人的思绪有机会随意地乱跑。

 困了。去睡了。

thoughts

It's been a long while since I can just laze around and have time to myself.
Work has been really hectic. Staying beyond office hours has already become a norm.
But hopefully, it won't be for long.

Come to think of it, I have already worked for six months or so.
I guess, I can say I have been through quite a lot in these six months.
All the ups and downs.
All the mind games.
All the care and concerns of nice colleagues.
Indeed, being in the working world, one can come across all sorts and kinds of people.
Well, I guess I can only pray that God will strengthen me through it all and help me along the way.
And, I definitely have to thank God for my dear boyfriend who has quietly been there for me always.
and everyday, though work can be very frustrating and upsetting,
at the end of the day, I know that I am always well-loved by my dear boyfriend.

I especially enjoyed myself yesterday.
Shopping-ing with boyfriend. and just chilling out at the music cafe.
Never been so relaxed in a long while.
Just feel like I'm falling in love all over again :)
*loves my boyfriend so so so much ^ ^ *

刚听这首歌曲,就不自觉地想起了你。。。

梁静茹 - 我喜欢

看蓝蓝的天空下

绵绵的白云停在你脸上
爱在巴黎的塞纳河畔上面晀望
赶不上的玻璃船

却不觉得遗憾
早已沉醉在你暖暖的手掌 紧握住我不放
偷偷的闻着你带着孩子气的男人香


呼...我喜欢就这样靠在你胸膛
呼...我喜欢没有时间没有方向
呼...我喜欢像这样爱的好自然

不用管别人投什么眼光 随你带着我四处去游荡


呼...我喜欢一醒来有你在身旁
呼...我喜欢赖在床上看你喝汤
呼...我喜欢你的手放在我肩膀
像是担心我会消失一样 为我每一吋消瘦而感伤


好想就这样 有你在身旁 一直到天长

`亲爱的,谢谢你总是对我那么的细心,那么的呵护。
谢谢你总是默默地守护着我。
谢谢你那么的在乎我,那么的爱我。
从喜欢到爱上,你让我不知不觉地随着每一天更爱你。
谢谢你,亲爱的。:) *winks*

Somehow, I just really miss him a lot.

saturday with boyfriend :)

I love saturdays with boyfriend.
Loves just spending time with him.

It's going to be my last day in my deployment.
Lord, please please please just let me clear this very nicely.
No more hiccups and please let you-know-who be nice.

Feel like going to KTV but boyfriend not in the mood. SOBS.
Maybe I shouldn't be complaining about him since he is being so nice to cook dinner for me.
HEHS.

Life has been pretty awesome. Can't wait to go on leave in fact.
Hopefully, the situation in Bangkok will have some miracles happening.
Or if not, please let there be a possibility that our air tickets would not be forfeited just like that.

Really need a good break from everything and just travel, shop and eat.
pleasepleaseplease, let it happen :)

dear sweet boyfriend, I love you :)

23102011

Just felt like blogging before I crawl into bed to wait for my dear to be done with his things.
Wells, life has become slightly less depressing. Or at least I try to be less depressed.
Almost 8 days to end of deployment.
Am feeling kind of bad that we are putting an end to it.
It really doesn't do good for the relationship with the centre in a way.
and I do feel very guilty about it.

Been having too little time for boyfriend.
Feel quite sad that I am spending such limited quality time with him.
But he has been really sweet and understanding about it.
And especially when I am super grumpy or grouchy,
he has been really tolerant of my moodswings and patient with me.
Am really very touched :)

Still feel really amazed how we actually end up together.
Still feeling amazed how I could have found such a great guy like him :)
At times, I wake up thinking about this and always end up exclaiming to myself,
"limjiaxin, I think God really loves you too much, that's why He gave you such an awesome guy to love you."
hee :)

Alrights. updates of random things next time.
feeling kind of tired le. jiayou limjiaxin.

thank God.

Just feel like blogging before I head off to bed.
I feel happier this week.
I know God has worked miracles in my life to bring about all these.
And I know God has definitely seen me through this.
Praise the Lord.

Thank God for a wonderful boyfriend as well.
My dear boyfriend has been providing me the best support and advices ever,
especially when I have let the super emotional part of me take over entirely.

I just feel so well-loved this week.
By my dear boyfriend, by my bosses.
And most importantly, by God.
Thank you, Lord Jesus :)

`we love, because He loved us first.

很庆幸我有你。

最近,心情都因着工作上的压力变得很紧绷。
心情总是很低落。
有时,在约会时还会时不时都提起工作。
埋怨了,还是埋怨。
诉苦了,再诉苦,

我真的觉得作为我的男朋友的他很可怜。
他得时时刻刻听我的诉苦。他得很有耐心地陪着我。
他得帮我承受我的压力,我的负担。
他还得想千万种方法哄我开心,为的是要我忘记一切的烦恼。
真的辛苦他了。

我实实在在地要感谢上帝让我遇见他。
在我迈入生命新的一章时,我和他重逢了。
是有点机缘巧合的。
从重逢,到触电。
又从触电的那一刻,到喜欢。
从喜欢到爱上。
这一切都发生得很微妙的自然。

我很庆幸我有他。
他话虽然不多,但他的细心已足以表达他想说的。
他总默默的陪着我,好让我知道我不需孤独地面对一切。
他会很温柔并无时无刻地关心着我,让我有被呵护,被在乎的感觉。

真的很庆幸有了他。
也因为有了他,我好幸福哦 :)

ps: I miss you, dear
      thank you for meeting up with me at such a last-minute notice.
      thank you for making the effort even though you were tired yourself.
      thank you for loving me for who I am. thank you for being the awesome bf you are, desmond :)

dating with my boy :)

/ignore the previous unhappy post.

Let me blog about happier things in my life.

Went dating with my boy yesterday.
Felt kind of bad making him wait as I had to end my tuition late for my kid's future's sake.
He was already starving but still had to wait patiently for me.
Thank God for a super understanding boyfriend :)

Had my favourite chocolate eggtart @ KFC again.
Yummielicious ~
Then we headed off to take the LONG- journey bus to Ikea.
Good thing that I wasn't alone, else my motion sickness problem would have felt much worse.

Just love ikea so much.
So many lovely and pretty concepts.
And so many things to buy.
hehs. :p

Went over to Courts to find my cordless phone.
Another awesome place to walk around!
and so many temptations.
But wells, they are still currently WANTS and not NEEDS yet.
So.. shall wait.
*grins*

Dinner @ Thai Express with my boy and the three younger boys.
Quite fun. and really must thank my boy for being so understanding not to kick up a fuss with me for bringing so many lightbulbs along.
The entire time spent with my boy, I just felt so happy and blissful deep down.
And I still think, my date is TOO SHORT and wished that the date didn't have to end.
but wells, hopefully there will be MORE and many MORE to come, I hope :)

我喜欢这种简单的幸福。
喜欢这种能够发自于内心的快乐。
我知道,也很清楚一切的幸福得来不易。
我会好好地珍惜真心爱我的他。
更要好好地守着这段感情。
因为幸福的我,只想紧紧牵着那真心爱我的他,并一路带着满满的幸福一直走下去。:)

why oh why.

WHY OH WHY.
I opened my work email and there it is.
The ultra bad news just sitting there and staring me in the face.
I just can't stop sighing ever since.

It is no fun. No good shit.
Lord, please send someone good along as SOON as possible.
Unless it's really Your will that I go back to teach full-time.
If not, Lord, I really love my job but I just can't handle the two workplaces-stresses and confusion.

I can totally imagine the horrible things I am going to hear tomorrow.
Like tomorrow was going to be a good day in the first place.
argh.
sigh.
WHY LIKE THAT!

I seriously need to go sing k to relieve stress already.
and yes, I have got to pray even harder from now.

01102011

Yay. A Brand New Month.
September was really very scary for me.
All the work has managed to wear me out quite fully.
Wished that I could say wake me up when September ends; but I don't know what lies ahead of me.
So all I can do is to pray that everything runs more smoothly now.

Yesterday was first time taking leave and best of all I get to match it with Boyfriend's.
but wells, yesterday was quite a day due to work.
Felt kind of bad that I was spending time on the phone and computer for work and half the rest of the time being stressed up.
But thank God for a super understanding boyfriend who just stands by me and supports me no matter what. He didn't even grumble abit.
Sigh. I am such a horrible gf! :(

today managed to sleep in due to tuition starting late.
So looking forward to meeting up with dear later :D

I am so used to typing "Regards, Jia xin" at the end of my email that I almost did so for this blog entry.
o.o"

Can't wait for BKK trip. like totally.
I need more holidays! like seriously! :(

:)

Skipped church today.
Shan't make it a habit. Will go back next week to serve.
:)

Slept in abit later. but due to my gastrics. Didnt really sleep very well nowadays.
Hates the stress-induced gastric problem.
Sigh. Seriously need to pray harder for the vacancy to be filled.

but wells. to update about today.
Met up with boyfriend to watch Crazy Stupid Love.
Really a sweet movie and I'm really glad that I get to watch with my dear.
Simple but sweet date :) just love spending time with him.

Met up with darling esther today. and had an awesome time just eating and roaming around.
Sad that we couldn't get our neoprints done today as so coincidentally, both machines are spoilt.
Sobs.
but nonetheless, it's awesome meeting up with the bestie.
Glad to see that she is doing well. Must so meet up for ktv SOON! :)

`just feeling sooooo in love :)

25092011

Had a great night out with my uni friends.
Busy eating xiaolongbaos.
Enjoying the 7th Heaven icecream from Haagen Dasz.
Almost partyworld-ing.
Ended up playing monopoly deal at McD clementi.
It was all fun and laughters,
though everyone wasn't spontaneous enough to play it my way.
sobs.

Work has been rather stressful for me.
Think affecting my body system.
Will be staying home tomorrow.
To rest and also to make my dad happy.

I just pray that the vacancy can be filled asap.
And in the meantime, I will be kept sane and sound.
And yes, I really do mean sane and sound.
