Community

Just want to thank you God for providing me with such a wonderful community that has stuck with me for so long and grow up together with.

Realy thankful for this bunch of people, a community that is always here for each other, and I really hope that as we step into our new journey as a YA cell we would continue to grow so much closer and deeper with You and towards each other as well.

As we build we laugh, we joke, we almost go crazy haha. But I pray that we will continue to build each other up in our actions, our words, being this close knitted family that will persevere on as we  walk the life of being young adults (: 

Times flies

Time fies really. Gosh...alevels in about 2+ months and that's it. Honestly no parts of me want the day to come any sooner (although I know I would have a super long break) cause I'm not yet prepared :(

I wanna end this whole JC journey STRONG ANG GOOD, and I've yet to get there really :(

Well, still persevering and still working GOTTA KEEP GOING!

On a side note went to NEX yesterday with my sweet dear for dinner at Monster Curry! Lol we couldn't finish the rice and all thag cause it was really too much even for the both of us >< and after walking around we got yogurt hehe ^^

It's really great honestly to be out of Pasir Ris after a long time haha! 

Well, for now I gotta go back to my books! ><

So I miss my long hair

It was the longest hair that I grew honestly LOL (and it didn't even reach te bottom of my rib cage yet) haha weird units of measurement but yea

So this is my shorter hair now (not that anyone can see it cause of the horrible lighting LOL) but I still miss my long hair haha! Wheeee~~

Seems long

Haish...seems long since we've had a proper date together and I miss you dear. 

Progress tracking time!

Well honestly no progress LOL

So from the last picture I took (which was months ago) I honestly had no progress haha! Still maintaining I guess? Because of school and the weird timings I couldn't be as consistent as I hope I would be.

And honestly snacked quite a bit on junk food sometimes.

Lol my friends who touched my tummy said it was really hard and now they wanna see my abs...TSK. 

Ok just to clear things up i first started exercising because of road race (I wanted to run fast and be one of the top) what I was concentrating on was STATUS. And then afterwards when momentum started to kick in and coming across Kayla, I wanted to look nice with abs, what I was concentrating on was LOOKS. But after all that it motivated me to not only look at those things for motivation, but the main thing was to stay healthy so when i grow older (after all the abs etc melt away) I would still be healthy on the inside! 

(Look at my previous posts about how motivation just for looks can wear off sooner or later) 

My point is, it's really fine to want to have abs and look nice/be able to look nice wearing crop tops, because I believe that's where the majority of people get their motivation to exercise from! 

But let it not be your long term goal.

YUP!

Well, I'm still trying to fit at least 28mins of HIIT every alternate day and rests inbetween. And of course eating healthier (cause that's what matters as well).

It's becoming a habit already and I love it (: well hope I'd see more defined obliques and abs haha! And yes for my arms to be (not buffed cause I hate that haha!) but just lean! 

A Saturday well spent

Well yesterday was a different Saturday, and a Saturday well spent and grateful for (:

So instead of attending service/cell as usual, my dad brought us to Marina Boulevard to watch the NDP preview fireworks! 

So I went to church as per usual in the morning to serve in the band (: but left shortly after worship. To cut the long story short, we sat there as a family (behind some bushes sounds weird but it was a good view! Haha!) waiting for the mini fireworks to start at about 7.30 and then the grand finale at about 8.15-ish.

Haha best part was that the place we were at still had a view of the screen so we could see what's going on at Padang, and we saw the tanks up close!! (Because after they were done with the parade they drove to the road we were close to haha)

Yup the fireworks were great! I mean I've not seen fireworks for a really long time!! Haha >< 

And then went back home to continue with my studies (phew) and had a long late night call with my darling till about 1.45-2am haha >< (yea when I have someone to talk to I don't find myself getting tired...an extrovert thing I guess haha)

It was a really really nice talk especially since we have not called each other over the phone to talk at night since sec 4 I think? 

We talked about quite personal stuff which I've not known about it (or only had a vague idea of). Comes to show how much more (exciting) stuff to learn about my darling even after 4 years. 

Haha I believe you can never fully understand someone because of change and all that, and that's when you know things aren't boring because there's always something new to explore, discover and learn (lol sounds like some politically academic answer, but it's true haha!)

Thank you God for a wonderful family, and thank you God for Ben. I don't think I ever blogged about this thought but, it feels so special to actually be working towards a stronger relationship and even marriage to my dear Ben (: 

So that sums up my Saturday I would say! (:

Dear Priscilla~

Let me be

Give me a little time to be in fantasy

To listen to my favourite music

To go to the beach in the sun 

(A bonus would be to have my dog right by my side)

Let me be

Give me a little time to be in fantasy.

PFU Dinner!

Well ok just about half of PFU haha!

Was initially supposed to be a celebration for Belle's birthday but haish things came up so...we gotta postpone it >< 

Hmm since it's so late at night, I'm not gonna type out every single detail that happened because what really mattered to me is that even after such a long time (4months) since I've seen all of them, I'm just super super thankful that all of us still had such an awesome time ^^ (i really need to chill haha! Like what all my friends are advising me to do LOL)

It's amazing how all of us are growing up and facing new experiences and challenges. From last year of poly life, to the army, to the university (and yes me, still here in jc haha!)

Catching up with you guys and all that is wonderful.

And Chryston, I realy hope we have more time to talk about school, church, and God haha. Miss those times (:

Well, I love ya'll many many and can't wait to meet up again soon ^^ 

First cell book study!

Well! So we are finally 19/20 year olds in our cell and that means MOVING ON TO YOUNG ADULTS!! 

Had our first book study on "Jesus The King" by Tommy Keller at Meredith's house yesterday!

So yuo we started off with a yummy hearty lunch cooked by Meredith's mum. And I just gotta say in my mind (Meredith you live in a terrace house and have a maid, your house is clearly missing a dog D: hahahaha)

Ok but anyways, Ben brought along Gabriel today! Was realy happy to see him after a long while.

The book study was really not bad in my opinion. Made us think deeper about certain issues and think about some questions which we think we may have an answer for but actually, we just ain't thinking enough haha!

Leading on Sat was also a good experience! Hopefully next week's study will be as or even more fulfiling as yesterday's (:

And something to thank God for, Gabriel said he realy enjoyed the cell time (athough it's much different than what he's comfortable with etc.) and he actually wants to come back again! WELCOME YOU BACK WITH OPEN ARMS GABRIEL! Hahahaha

Till next time! (:

Late nights

It's 12.03am and here I am on my bed...writing a random post.

I'm so tired (physically) as in I wanna sleep.

School hasn't been easy...really felt the drive to work hard after what my teacher said today in consult.

But haish...when I look at what I gotta do and then looking at the time...it seems almost impossible. 

Well with my own strength it will be impossible, God teach me how to rely on you because sometimes it's so hard and it gets so tiring. But in You, I am strong Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. 

Body image

Well recently so many body image stuff are being mentioned or talked about.

Fashion such as skinny jeans, crop tops etc. all require some sort of perceived slim body to look beautiful. Well yes I admit (honestly) that slim girsl do look much better in crop tops and skinny jeans (that's my opinion)

But guess what, I'm not a VS model.

I have always been self conscious about my own body image especially my thighs. I mean really they aren't skinny and neither do I have what some girls call "the thigh gap"

To cut the long story short, beauty and fitness ain't always about looks (because honestly WHEN YOU GROW OLD EVERYTHING IS GONNA CHANGE) 

But you know what doesn't change?

Your character

Your personality

Your outlook

Yes...your inner beauty does not. Instead we all mature and try to be the best we can (:

Fitness isn't all about looks but how it makes you FEEL as well. I mean why strive towards short term happiness such as being able to wear clothes that show off too much skin and exercise just to look slim? Trust me, before long that motivation off looking that way will die off especially when we become mums and dads (not saying everyone will be likewise, but probably a majority don't you agree?)

So, striving towards being healthy (just putting in 30mins of workout can be good enough!) feeling good, even exercising with friends and bonding together is so much more enjoyable!

Yup, the fashion of clothes are ever changing and so does the 'popular' body image (I mean a long time ago plump women were the most beautiful haha!) 

And just to sum it all up, neither body image is good nor bad. God has made us who we are and it's our job to take care of our bodies, the Holy temple of God. 

But strive to be healthy both inside and out.

I've probably just recently started to accept my own body image and structure. But yea that's how it is! ^^
