Mooncake Festival
Week 2 of DTS. Gone by quick and good.
This is my extended Family in DTS. Multi-national. 1 Chinese, 1 Thai, 2 Koreans, 2 Indonesians and many Singaporeans. Such fun sharing mooncakes, pomelo, Chinese Tea, Hor Fun with one another. Not forgetting the laughter and singing from one another.

You were meant for so much more
Watched Kung Fu Panda & Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs yesterday and today.
Both movies have the same theme - "You were meant for so much more"
Everyone has a destiny. Often times because of the society, culture, values that have influenced us, we tend to think that the destiny is something small, perhaps don't have, perhaps not important. But it's so untrue.
If you have a dream that is bigger than what you think you can do, that is the destiny that God gives you and believe in yourself and in God to achieve it. There may be times when you fail, but keep going, and it will turn out to be good.
In meritocratical Singapore, success in studies is like the most important thing. And often the poor child is made to think that they can't excel in life because they are categorised as a certain stream or class or subject combi. And to make things worst, exam papers are set to such a high standard that they can't do it.It's so stifling and makes them think that they have no hope. But it's such a Big Fat Lie.
Your Destiny lies not in the results you get now, but what you were meant to be. And You were meant for so much more.
It so ties in with what I've been hearing and learning this week at DTS. Who defines who you are? Is it the world's system that says A is good or is it a Loving and Good God that says "It is very good" upon creation?

New "Home"
I have a new home for the first 4 days of the week. It's situated in the heart of Geylang. It's the place where I have my classes too. Right now, we are busy setting up the new place during work duties hours. It's so physically tiring!! I wish I was much stronger. But with whatever strength I have and the company to work with, everything is good!
Like little ants in the colony as Sujin describes us. haha!
I just love everything and I miss my bed too. Having a new mattress in my home sweet home.

Modern Toilet Restaurant
The first thing that caught our attention in the Hong Kong Visitor kit and made us decide we must go to this place in our time in HK.
What a cute mascot!!

Counting Down by the days
It's 16 days to DTS.
I'm quite excited. And at the same time, I feel abit forlorn that I'm leaving the girls.
I guess it's normal to feel this way.
