Update of my life... = )

The sinus curse
I've been cursed with sinus... it simply wouldn't go away... I've had it since young, but it's gotten worse since I got back from the states. Recently my ears will swell up due to sinus as well. Yes, apparently, there's a tube of some sort connected from the nose to the ear and if the nose is stuffed with stuff, sometimes it affects the ear. And in recent years, I've been getting swelling of the ear quite frequently... not only does the ear swell up, it is blocked too! So I feel like I can't hear very well... "cao he lang"... Hahaha... so it's rather frustrating. That's why ENT (ear nose throat) specialists are needed in the medical field! Plus, I love to sleep in aircon room, which I think doesn't help the situation... =( But I LOVE curling up in my comforter when it's super duper cold and be warm in my little cocoon... hee... ooohhh... so nice! Maybe I have to make changes to my habits... I think it may really have to change after I get married because XLQ doesn't sleep in aircon rooms AT ALL! I'm so dead...

Work
There are so many new colleagues at work that I'm feeling bit like a hermit... just wanna be in my comfort zone and talk to the colleagues whom I'm familiar with. I'm tired of making small conversations and trying to make new friends... but Huiling, u shouldn't think that way should u? I mean, can you imagine? Being in a new place is already intimidating enough, add on some unfriendly colleagues, you will feel SO miserable at work! I know some of you must feel very puzzled cos I'm usually bubbly and friendly.. this is so unlike Huiling... but somehow at work, the feeling is different... sometimes I just wanna plug on my earphones and do my work. Been asking myself why this is so... maybe cos I don't realize sometimes that my colleagues at work need to know the gospel too! That I'm not extending my CHristian love beyond PUNJ and new people I meet in church... I have this thing about meeting new people.. I'm more enthusiastic abt meeting new people in church cos I know it's part of a bigger purpose... helping them to understand who God and Jesus is... I really should adopt the same attitude at work. Sigh.... sinful me. Just that sometimes I already find it tough to keep up with my own friends (ex classmates, schoolmates etc) that I actually am in inertia to make new friends... Usually when I pass the inertia stage I'm ok... in fact, I do make good friends at work. Hope that I will not think this way, but continue to see every conversation as gospel opportunity... doesn't mean that I have to be happy clappy with them all the time, but I think it means I should be genuine about sharing my life with them since the workplace is where I spend the bulk of my time every week!
Wedding prep
I'm finally starting to feel EXCITED!!!! Haha... =) I think it was when I sat down with XLQ thinking through the details and planning for the church wedding that I started to get excited... C+K have kindly offered themselves to help us organize the whole thing which reassures me a lot cos both of them are meticulous people! I'm so thankful and appreciative of their friendship and fellowship, and they're so genuine about helping XLQ and me... especially cos XLQ will be taking his exams right before the wedding and it's probably going to be such a stressful time for him already... which is why we're trying to get as much stuff done as possible so that we don't have to worry too much about them right before the wedding.

I got really excited thinking through the details of the decor, music, invitation cards, the songs we're going to sing, the color theme, the program, the speaker, the sermon and how we can use the wedding to witness to our friends about God's grace towards us... and it's really nice cos many of my friends are helping me with the prep here and there... that's where the personal touch comes in... I'm really touched that so many pp offered to help...

My good friend from Hong Kong called me and asked me how the wedding prep is going... and before we got too far in the conversation, she was like... "Ah Ling, you're so going to cry at the wedding" Hahaha... I AM A STRONG WOMAN, I WILL NOT CRY!!! Haha, ok lah, i think I most prob will, but just hope that I can get through the vows. Haha..

Our flat renovation is abt to start as well... so things are coming along quite well! It's going to be a new scary phase of life.. pray that I will take the changes well and not stress XLQ out... really thank God for His providence of all things!
