Help me know You are near

*.* our hair makeover session! *.*
haha... i told aileen ill upload the pics here. finally, after soooo much talking, we had our hair done yesterday!!!! hehe... aileen wanted it done sooner so that she can wash her hair by fri's cell bbq! of course, i cant wait to wash my hair too!! hey, i think aileen's hair looks nice!! must go see!!
haa... er mine ah.... i look different! cant say i look like a poodle. ahaha.... im just not used to it. bye bye straight straight hair!
haa... we forgot to take pics before we entered the salon! this is aileen trying to be funny as usual!
yup... we see the similiarity!!! haaa....
hmm, cant wait to get out of our costumes. haaa....
some alien invasion......
our butts hurt, stomach growling, and we were badly in need for food!!! anyway, the claypot rice and hor fun there was quite good! the nearby foodstalls makes food delivery too! how smart!
hair-rebonding in the making!!! haha... it's halfway done, but its nice right?
eeks!!! look what they've done to meeeeeeeee!!!! haa... im not crying la... was just trying to push away my fringe from my eyes. hehe....
after being cooped in the salon for more than 4 hrs, we're finally done!
the final products! haha... actually they did my hair more curly than i expected... i went to the toliet and tried to salvage it. haa... surprisingly, putting a hair clip works wonders!
someone pls convince aileen that her fringe isnt too flat la!! she's paranoid! haa...
ok... we're done with this place! these are irreversible. so pls dont tell us that its not nice even if you think so! wahaha... kidding la! OF COURSE ITS NICE! haaaaaa.......
yours truly,

*.* uPdaTeS.. *.*
hehe. hello everybody! my name is crow tan! hahaha. just ended my first week of work, so thought it'd be good to share a bit over here about how it has been! haa..
well.. all in all, i'd say i enjoy the job quite a lot.. it's really quite interesting when the designers just try and tell me their whole concept and idea and the images that come with it, and i come up with some tagline or text for it.. i realise it's something i really enjoy! i like handling concepts.. haa..
yup yup.. so i'm enjoying it... though a bit sian when it comes to the newsletter part (in which i realise i've become a journalist cum writer cum editor) hahahaa... but i've also come to realise that all the liasing is really good for my learning... i'm now alot more comfortable making calls etc.. yup, so i thank God too for this exposure.. and .. ya! God really gives me inspiration on what to write one leh... really really... it's amazing.
hehe.. yup yup.. and most importantly... my one prayer for work was that i'll mix well with my colleagues... and that i can "be myself" at work... and ya! amen! they're really very nice people.. and i do feel quite myself when im with them... aha, Yes! i tell them cold jokes sometimes!! hahahaha... though there may be some language barrier (haha..), but God has been really good u noe... it's really amazing to see how God works! hehe..
hehe.. that's all for me... God never fails.. God will never forget any one of us... God is great!!
love, crow

*.* As for me and my household, we'll serve the Lord. *.*
Dear Friends,
A MIRACLE FINALLY HAPPENED!!AND I really want to Praise the Lord!! With all my heart!! :)
My brother accepted Jesus into his life yesterday!! My brother. The eldest brother, who's known to be very hard and always sabotaging our efforts to go to church. This brother, has finally allowed pride to be washed away, and decided to come to know God! I really thank God for all that's happening in the life of my family. Ever since, I came back, its like one miracle after another. Right now, my heart is thumping really hard. And, I know that heaven is throwing a really big feast for my Kor kor now and this is getting me really excited! I know that God is going to reach to daddy and mummy! So please continue to be in prayer for the christians in my family, all of us are actively praying for my parents now. Its half a dream come true. My kor kor and I and mei mei were sitting around last night (while the parents were out) testifying of God's love in our life, all of us acknowledging in one voice that Jesus is real and we love him very much. All of us acknowledging in unison that God is a God that heals. God is moving! And Dear God, I pray that you'll continue to do a deep work in my family! I pray that you'll continue to come and speak into mummy and daddy's life!
Below is an exercpt of some of the things he wrote...
"The Lord Has Touched Me
went to church this evening... been a long time since i went into one...i was really looking forward to going to it... been feeling his calling this few days, feel that its my time...i was also hoping for some kind of a miracle, that god will come and take all my pain and resentment away...and i guess in the end, in a way, he did....... the closure i needed...then jean came, i cried to her for a while, while telling her abt how i felt and how i really needed god to come into my life now but he dun seem to be there...she told me that he will always be there for me...
he really help bring things into a greater perspective...made me see that this is just a small mile stone in my life...and i should learn from it and move on to become a better person...be sad, but dun dwell in the past for too long...or u r just a stupid idiot (exact words)
think the point i really felt at peace was when i went into the church after that, and it was all quiet and serene...i just sat there, and for the first time in church, i sincerely prayed to god and wanted him to come touch my heart...i sat there for a long time, and begin to really feel my burden taken away...and i really felt the pain in me lessen...and finally i prayed again to thank god, and prayed for those who had showed concern to me in the past week...
as i reflect on today, i realised that god really came into my life, told me that its time to move on to something greater, and at the end of the day, i think he also healed abit of my broken heart to relief the pain that i am going through, and i am thankful for that...
Praise the Lord!"
Dear All, I'm still finding it a little hard to believe what's happening. God has gone ahead earlier than I can believe in. Please pray that the evil one will not steal any seeds that God has caused to grow in my kor kor's heart. Dear God, please continue to seal kor kor's heart with your love and grace. Lord, was you intended to be a bad situation was the best thing that could have happened to kor kor life already. Lord, indeed, cause him to be a warrior in your kingdom. Help him to grow in you to become a strong man of God. God, please protect him. God, grant him and bless him an amazing walk with you. Lord, hold his hands and never let him go. Tug at his heart and remind him of your love always and always. Lord, do just that because you love him. Lord, you can do it! I believe in you. I know that Jesus, you've already done it in your name!!! AAHHHHH! I'm just so happyy!!!! Thank You!
In Jesus Name,Amen!
