First of all...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!

I have to say that it was the best b'day i had till date !!! Becky wished me at mid-night (btw, becky is officially my girl friend now... things are kind of OK at her home !!!!).. Mum called me right after that to pray... I had my personal Watchnite, which I have every year on my b'day ... God gave me a verse (Is 30:21)... He said He will guide me along the way !! Those were good ways to start my b'day with... a 9 hour sleep followed... Woke up when JS called me to wish me... Esther sent me a video of Zach singing Happy B'day Song for me ... I was quite happy already !! My land lady wished me and cooked fried rice for me... It was nice of her :) ... I loved all these.... But the celebration started after that :)

Met up with Becky to watch Zookeeper at Lido... On our way there, she told me that she has already told her parents that we are together and their reaction was good !! That was the best b'day gift for me !!!

After the movie, we started roaming around... Since she knew that my favorite cartoon charector was Tin Tin, she took me to the Tin Tin shop... i didn't know there was such a shop...

There, she bought Couple Mugs for us... of TinTin and Snowy ...

I took Tintin and she took Snowy :) ... Oh Ya... there was an Apple Cider to go with it...

I was trying to make wild guesses of her plans... but i failed miserably... never did it cross my mind that she will take me to an Indian Restaurant... Ya, She did !! So we went to the restaurant named Vansh at the Indoor Stadium...The place was very nice !! Its one of those high class indian restaurants which I wouldn't want to go to coz its expensive...

We started off with Pappadam... and the drinks... i had a mando lassi and she had Colada...

... followed by Tandoori Lamb ... I have to say that this was the best lamb I had in Singapore ... it wasn't smelly !!

followed by Aaloo Ke Paratha (Prata made with Potato and flour) and Naan...

along with it came Tawa Prawn (Stir-fried prawn with spicy gravy)...

was pretty full after all these... after we finished i was all set to go... and then came a real big surprise... the waiters came with this big tray kind of thing with brownie, ice cream, chocolate, candles and some other stuff which i still have no clue what they were and wished me Happy B'day !! That was a surprise... i didn's see it coming at all !!

one more pic with both of us and the cake ...

after this, i received a b'day gift ! a Braun Buffel wallet !! i liked that too !! no pics of that to show though...

altogether, it was a terrific day!! there were years in my life, when i myself forgot my b'day... never got gifts till i was 13... my first gift was a pen from my sister :) ... but over the past few years, i got tremendous friends who celebrated my b'day for me... and this year, becky planned the best b'day i had so far !!

just want to remind u guys... if u didn't get something u feel u deserved till now, doesn't mean that u never will get it... Don't give up too soon !! it might just be around the corner !!

Thanks to all who wished me today and made this day special for me :)

off to sleep now... take care guys.. keep smiling and make someone smile :)

Has God Promised You Something??

It has been a while since i last posted here... lot of things happened during this time... both bad and good... things have changed... i have lost some friends... even though it pulled me down for a while, i could get back up... stronger... i am a cell leader now!!! i was scared to be one... to be honest even now i am scared to be one... coz i never know when things mess up... so i depend on god.. thats the only thing i can do... let Him do the rest...

even though there were lot of tough moments earlier, i have to say that i am enjoying lot of things now... God has been faithful... i used to ask Him why he is playing with me... but along the way, he made me realize that if He has promised something, it will definitely come to pass... we may have to wait... longer than what we expect... but the end result will be good... definitely !!

if u feel mentally down, cheer up !! what ever u r going through, papa god has a plan... it will come to pass !! the One who called you is faithful to lead you till the end !!

Keep Smiling and make someone smile :)

Back Again!!

am back again... after some time...

today God re-assured me of something which i aready know of... got assured that its in our weakest moments that His strength perfects in us... some bad things happened ... and it did affect me badly... i didn't sleep well... went to church in the morning... didnt listen to sermon or anything... was feeling burdened... but since jeremy was sitting next to me, i just acted as if i was listening... there was no alter call today but i wished there was one... i wanted to be prayed for... didnt happen... i wanted to talk... couldn't... had breakfast from McDonalds... i was feeling sleepy and tired and burdened.. so didnt talk to anyone much...

came home and slept for a while... but that was not enough for my burden to reduce... i was missing home quite badly... and i was supposed to play soccer at 5... always when i am burdened, i mess up things during the game... and i was very worried... coz i already caused the team a match and we can't afford to loose this game... i prayed hard... but was having fear in me... when the game started, i couldn't cheer the team on... i was just standing there hoping that ball won't come near me... but then as the game progressed, things changed... felt more confident... ended up having a good game... not just that we won the game, i didn't commit mistakes...

while i was coming back, this thought was coming back again and again in my mind that its when we r weak, then we are strong!!! its in our weakness that His strength perfects in us... i was not even being my usual self today... usually when i am stressed, i sleep and everything is back to normal... today i couldn't even sleep properly... usually, i try to keep things to myself... but today, i was looking for people to talk to... but after the game and after a short quiet time, i know one thing... i will just remain myself... i wont fear weak moments... i am more than a conqueror!!!

but still the missing home part is there... i am missing home lately... may be i will ask boss for leave and have a short holiday... atleast for 5 days... missing sis...

do drop a word of prayer for me if u happen to read this... keep smiling... make someone laugh... God Bless

Foolish Me!!

i did something wrong today... i shouldn't have... i forced myself to do that... and now i feel that i shouldn't have done that at all...stupid me!! should have listened to what my heart said rather than my brain!!! now i feel guilty...

i didnt have anything to write for so long... or i never wanted to write... today since i am feeling weird, i decided to write... nothing else to write... take care... keep smiling... God bless

am back here to type in something... usually i come back here to type in when i feel bad... this time also its the same!!

Another Personality Test

This is what i happen to read about myself after i took a personality test... let me knwo if it sound true or not

1. Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.


2. The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.


3. Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.


4. The seriousness of your love: You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?


5. Your views on education: Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.


6. The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.


7. How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.


8. What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.


9. Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

New Year ... No Resolutions !!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

i know its late to make such a wish... but i never got time till today to write something here... had a kind of good time while i was back home... was tough though since mom had a fall... but tried to make sure everything was normal... God has been faithful as ever... He made things much easier for me... those were the things which i was scared to face when i went back home... the best thing that happened during my holidays was that i happened to hear 2 awesome messages in church... one for watch nite and another during the first sunday service... durng watch nite, my pastor preached about crossing over... from the book of Joshua... and proclaimed this to be a Year of Breakthrough... i am going to cling on to that... i need break throughs in different areas of life... and the second message was by an 85 year old man... he preached about learning the Word... i was amazed when he told that he wakes up at 2.30 am everyday to do his quite time... even at this age... did a bit of self - reflection during that time... even though i didn't make any resolutions this year, i wish i would be able to do quite time regularly...

this time, when i returned from home, i was sad... usually that doesn't happen... but this time, i felt tears in my eyes... but i made sure that no one noticed that... my niece cried... mom and sis nearly cried... thats not our usual selves... but this time, saying Bye was tough... God has a purpose...

now again, back in the land of kiasus and kiasis, started working... i can forsee tough days ahead... work workand work... i know Grace will protect me... and i know whatever happens, my future is intact in the Mighty One's hands...

do drop a word of prayer for me when u remember me... that will be highly appreciated...

keep smiling and make some one smile... God Bless
