#109

It is finally the end of October. Am I the only person who thinks that this year passed real quickly? Like, we are
 2 months away to 2015...! Probably because I have not been doing much, that's why time seems to be tick faster. This month was quite exciting for me because there were things to look forward to (because most of my friends are in army already)...

So, I was with GEnRe seniors for night cycling! This time, we took a different route! We went from ECP to Gardens By The Bay (GBTB) to Lao Pasat for supper and back to ECP again! It was a good experience considering the fact that it was my second time taking this route. The first time I cycled to GBTB with TDY was totally torturous! Because we cycled to Changi Village for supper, and then back to ECP and then to GBTB and back to ECP again. I still remember how I was grumbling about how my butt is going to give way through the entire journey. I guess the journey to Changi Village was the culprit since I didn't feel the "indescribable numbness" this time round. Yay to night cycling. I think the only negative point about cycling at night is the fact that you'd probably be sleeping the entire day due to fatigue.













Haha, notice how everyone has the wristband on us? We were all wearing it because we cool like that. Actually, I think the real reason why we were wearing that was because...of safety reasons? Cannot really remember though. But it did brighten up the atmosphere a little. I realised how beautiful Singapore is at night. Having said that, I cannot wait to travel around world and see all all the beautiful things that God created and just enjoy myself. Haha, before that can happen, I will probably need to work hard in the near future to realise this dream.
In my bucket list it goes.

Celebrated Gideon's birthday together with the BH peeps @Tony Roma's. It was my virgin experience there. The food was sooooo good and their portion was quite reasonable for their price. Haha, I will never forget how we sang happy birthday song a few times because we were trying to pitch and make fun of the latecomers. Yup, that's Gideon for you. I have just been so blessed to know that there are many burning hearts walking alongside me. More importantly, I am just so humbled.
Just so encouraged and tremendously blessed. Enough said.





I think Tony Roma's served the freshest coleslaw I have ever tasted in my entire life. It was so fresh that I really didn't like it. Because I could taste all the vegetable trying to dominate their very existence in my mouth which...I thought was too much for me.


THE ONION RINGS WAS THE BOMB.


DESSERT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
And...it was Diane's birthday surprise! We went to Backstage Cafe because I think the sisters wanted to try or something? Whatever the reason, the surprise was a success! (Although I was late). I was just so surprised because I didn't backstage was somewhat near the BHinternship area. If I knew earlier, I would have been alot more early (I think). Didn't really take picture of the food but I think it wasn't as good as I thought it will be. Especially after having seen the green pasta (which I appeal to all who are going there to not try..lols!) That aside, I think this place provides a really conducive environment to catch with friends or go for a nice tea break. I will probably come back here again for the really nice atmosphere.







DRUNKARDS


ERJIE



HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERJIE! :)


Hehe, October happens to be when I am born too~ Really appreciate those who make time to meet me and wish me. Having been around for the past 20 years, I think the best gift you can give to a person is time. So the first present I received was from S.E.A (Sharon and Adora). Haha, I will put the present to good use, lols! Went to Astons for dinner & XingWang Cafe to chill while they do their handicraft. Speaking of which, I still haven't started doing it. Anyways, the first picture you see below was the bomb. They ordered a dessert that was for 4 persons. I think they ate until brainfreeze?




On the side note, my love for TangYuan is stronger. (PEANUT PLEASE)




I also had a short catch up session with W24H. And...we were talking about army, what else.
Now I believe that army will be the common topic to kick start any conversation. That aside, we also went to Astons and there was a pretty girl serving us at the cashier. Haha, I might actually patronise Aston more if I see her again. LOL! Anyways, because the chin-na in me is raging so we went to have youtiao to satisfy my craving.


Haha, the main thing for me this month wasn't my birthday but my buddy's (since he was turning 21). I am so privileged to be given the chance to sabo him. And I am glad I put effort in making the sabo a success and fun one. Thanks to staying at home and watching all the Korean variety shows, I got inspired..so I decided to make the sabo game a little different by getting the rest to participate. Anyways, I am glad that it was a successful one considering how everyone laughed and participated in the mini games. And the best part of it was that I ended up getting sabo-ed as well (I expected it to happen). Haha, guess that was why I mixed the eggs unknowingly so that I also donno which is the raw eggs. BUT..all the remianing eggs was on me. TANKS.



THE SUSHI CAKE GUYS




 Deepavali was also in October! And my cell group had stayover at the Tan's house as usual. This time round, I took bus instead of MRT to get my way there. And, I was reminded that God loves everyone since bus 65 went pass the Little India district. On the side note, I really hate taking bus. As usual, we played the most violent game before heading for supper. What's new. As well as the Circle of Life before we slept. I had fun although the next day, I felt a little out of place during the Wednesday prayer room set- must have been the drinks.



Because I haven't got the chance to wish this brother HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
I shall do it here. Happy Birthday Brent! :)



This came to me as a pleasant surprise from Diane. I didn't expect this to come.
Thanks Erjie. #OCTALLIANCE

Because Pastor also happen to be born in the month of OCTOBER.


CANNOT WAIT FOR THE GREATER THINGS THAT ARE YET TO COME, TO COME.
IN THE PROCESS, IN THE HWAITING.
YOU ARE MAKING MELODIES OVER ME.

And...I went prawning again!! This time round with Esther & Mason! I have to say, if without Mason, we wouldn't have proceeded with unhooking the prawns smoothly. I still haven't conquer the fear of unhooking prawns. BUT! I improved! In 3 hours I caught 15 prawns. Not bad for a rookie like me. I was so amazed at how I caught mother prawns with eggs. HAHAHAHAHA




And so, there was the fellowship of the burning hearts. Wow, in the prayer room is where one person can be deeper in the place of heaven & earth. There was so much joy in the house that was just overflowing. It is indeed a privilege to be ministering to God with like-minded people. Of course, the food was also SOOOOO good! Thank God that he gave us gifting at different areas.
SOOOO BLESSED.







I think this roughly sums up my October. November is a new season for me because I will be officially serving my country as a NSmen. I will be confined for 2 weekends. I really hope to make the best out of this 2 years so that it will be meaningful to me. On the side note, I will be shaving my hair soon with Terence. New look. New look. Hopefully, I wouldn't be as bad as I think it will be. Anyways, apart from the above, I finished watching this Korean drama called King of High School.


Seo In Guk is quite talented. Hands up for him.
Recommend you to watch if you have nothing to do.


In all honesty, October hasn't been an emotionally easy month.
But I guess I will keep a cheerful heart since it is over!
FIGHTING!

Till then.
