Adventure after Exams Ended

2008-12-15T19:23:00.000-08:00

Abt 2 weeks ago i went for quite an adventure wif my sch frenz..
Aft our exams ended, on Dec 2nd, we went to various places, such as From Cty Hall to Marina Sq, Esplanade n Suntec. It wasnt vr intersting as some ppl lazy to walk, so they kep saying bored n tired (they like to stay at home n surf the net -.-haiz). But, it started to get exciting as we went to watch a movie "Quarantine" n also took some pics of the Xmas decor @Suntec. It has been quite a while i've received tat king shock from watching a movie..not too bad, esp if u're in a realtionshp n go watch it wif ur partner..juz kidding =)
The nxt day, Dec 3rd, we went to walk ard along Orchd rd, also my first time inside the Shaw House, quite interesting n relaxing. Was looking for some Xmas gifts n cards, but couldnt find anythg to my liking -.-Haiz ..or rather, i shud say there r too many thgs i wanna buy but want to find somthg tat is realy somthg. The nxt day was raining for the whole day, so we dint go out n besides i was quite tired aft work.
On Dec 5th, we headed to Tjg Pagar in the morining. My frenz wanted to inquire abt some sch there n also cuz we wanted to go to a plc tat sells 1 of the best chckn rice in Sing. @Vivo, there's tis an old ship tat was used for International Book Fair..freaking hot inside there!!
The nxt day, Dec 6th whc also when i supposed to go for BBQ party but i went for svc instead, my frenz got a little 'upset'. I was tryin ways n means to explain, please n ask for forgiveness from them. In the end, thnk God evrythg was turned alrite.
After all tis trip n aft most of my frenz went bck to their own coutries to spend their holiday a few days later, i hv been thnkin of wat shud i do nxt year..somthg better, different or unique n more daring than wat i've done tis year....
Well, we only live one life and we cant turn back time
Some people seem could not to be appreciative with wat they have (friends, family n other precious thgs). But to some, they're focusing too much on their small world that they cant see the bigger world that they live in or the achievement that they could and/or should aim for.

"One makes more friends by being oneself than by putting on airs"
Be true to yourself, but what is true from oneself. Who is to decide the truth, what can be offered from the truth.

Do not give in to difficult circumstances you're facing,
Be of much help as you can to everybody who needs it,
Share your joy and happiness to other people,
Thousand of words can be uttered, just need one action to bring change.

2008-12-13T04:00:00.000-08:00

Juz finished watched Ah Long Pte Ltd movie (rented a dvd),then some of them goin to the swimmin pool..yep,swimmin pool at 3.45 in the mornin!! -.-Haiz,i didnt wan to go join them do 'crazy' thg..but instead,im bloggin (borrowin 1 of my cg mem's laptop).
I dunn if i should say im in hell or heaven..evrytime see a cockroach,they'll shout, "Ariefin,got cockroach!!" I've told them umpteen times if see any cockroaches, juz get a frying pan n cook it into a super-duper amazin dish like i alwys do (i've created my vr own special dish ''Shushi Cockroach ala Ariefin ''). It tastes like.. better than KFC :)
Wah piang lei, i cleaned up evrythg downstairs 3hrs ago..it seems i've to clean up again later bfr go slp.. bfr tat i wan to eat again. Oh yeah,my exams ended last week..so havin holiday until nxt year n workin part-time.
Anywy, X'mas n New Year of 2009 are comin.. i hv no idea wat to do.. no plans yet or i should say tat too tired of makin plans. For the past 1-2mths,it was quite a hectic times, from assignmnts, exams, work, problm here n there (family,sch frenz,cg mems,etc). BUT, aft ASIA CONFERENCE, i seem to b alwys vr excited more than ever when i go cg n esp svc.
Well,tat's all abt it for now..im goin to eat again.
Ariefin thank God for nvr put on weight no matter how much i eat.

Water Bap

2008-07-25T23:23:00.000-07:00

Last wk,i finally went for the proper water baptism (i went thru sprinkling bapt bfr). Hhm,couldnt say much abt it..was a bit unhappy..the main reason was i realized i nvr tell or rather nobody asked me wat will be my baptism name, juz rite when we hv to go line up.. But nvm, i can only say thnk God bcuz of my new CGL (Sin Da),i decided to juz go for it (almost din go).

Yep,i must remember tat July 19th 2008 was when Ariefin reborned again n started a new chapter in my life with my new CG,E33.
Well, i juz wann say thnk yu vr much for e ppl tat came n support me n those who support me in spirit too :)

Oh yeah..btw,some ppl gave me a vr meaningful present..i mean the presents are cute,from Eileen,Vivien n my new CG,E33 (thks a lot!). I also received a sparkling wine from Hui Jun..i havent touched e wine at all cuz i dunn wat to do with it. Honestly speaking, i prefer to get a milk rather than a wine..Lols. Anywy, must quickly find the rite time to drink e wine (i heard from Clarenc tat this type of wine better nt to keep vr long).

When i heard e news abt the transferring, i wanted to dissapear for a while..alot of thgs and alot of thgs was goin thru in my mind..so i was like i need time to be alone (somemore,i juz returned form Indo). But again,i felt like i will regret if i were to miss the last moments with s23.. I dun want to hv any more regrets in my life ever again..though we're still be able to see each other in chc, but evrythg will nvr be same again.

Though e news of the transferring was vr shocking,but..Actualy, tis transferring was somthg tat i had wished for when i spent my holidays in Indo for a month..it was like i heard a 'voice' tat telling me to guide or direct or show a better PATH for me. Like,i can sense somthg great/wondrful awaits me outside s23.

I hate to admit,but i vr vr scared when i see my self not in s23..anywy,i went to seek HiS guidance aft i heard abt e transferring n made e decision..so,here i am now,in E33.

It was the toughest decision i've ever made in my entire life n i must say thnk you very much from the bottom of heart..thnk you.. for Hui Jun, for Jessie, for Shuzhen, for Lexx, for Grace, for Apple n Danny, for Kelvin, for Abel, for Clark, for Annie (Congrats for e new baby boy!)..thks for evrybody in s23 (in the Past,Present and Future)!

I LoVed s23 yesterday,
I LoVe s23 today,
I always have n always will,

It has been 14 days im in Indo..hhm,quite fun. I've met some of my high sch frenz, childhood frenz, first crush,my baptist father n my favorite female teacher (Biology teacher) n many more. Anywy,there's nothing much diff here in Indo aft these 2years. I can only say it's still so pitiful,though there's a little improvemnt.

But somthg unfortunate happened juz recently, one of my good frenz in high sch, now involved with drugs n alcohol..i've seen it with my own eyes how miserable he is. I hv another frend tat MBA (Married by Accident), also hv one tat went into prison n so on. Though i din realy tat close to them, but at least there were days tat i spent with them to help them in their studies. They're actually not bad ppl,it juz tat they dont receive enough love n care from their parents tat turn them into naughty kids. We can only blame ourselves who fall into devil's temptation..even for myself,i was nearly got into night life (smoke,free sex,etc). Thank God i nvr got into anythg bad,except for smoking.*S23,Evyette--9

Dilemma n Confused

2008-05-12T19:23:00.001-07:00

There's one person tat i 'admire' so much..she's really one of a kind. I've never seen a woman like her. I can use a thousand words to describe her all i want,but a thousand words is pointless bfr her..Yes, she's juz tat great. Anyway, I've decided to juz be her support, hoping tat she'll get best of the best.

It seems we get along for certain things, but sometimes I hv my own thinking tat contradictory with hers ..We're not like oil n water, but i dun think we're like toothbrush n toothpaste either. Perhaps, would be better to say we're like Sun n Moon? Moon is supported by Sun, but Sun itself is dangerous n they both definitely cant be together..unlike Earth n Moon.

Tis is juz a penny of my thought n my resolution. All tis while i've been holding bck..but it's time for me to move forward, to go aft my dreams n future =)

2008-05-07T17:23:00.000-07:00

So many things happened for the past few months, weeks or even days..from family, school, exams, cell group, 'helping' here n there.. extremely tired, physically, emotionally n spiritually.

"One for all, All for one"..the true meaning of tis phrase supposedly good. But what im experiencing is totally the far from being good.."Working together,but working alone"
But i take it not as an obstacle, rather as a stepping stone..As in Jeremiah 31:16, Thus says the LORD: “ Refrain your voice from weeping, And your eyes from tears; For your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD

Exam's finally coming..still have so many things need to be taken care of..

Anyway,i juz wanna concentrate on my exams..then go back to Indo to search for somthg 'refresh', while take all my load off.."A doctor cant heal a patient if he himself is sick"

I need to go back to Indo asap, as there is where shud be the starting point.

For the last 2weeks,i feel like abt to go crazy alrdy..because of the many problems tat i've been facing. But i didnt..yeah thanks to my leader, Hui Jun..hhm,i think i'l just write Evyette cuz her English name sounds n looks cooler (easier to write). But be careful, she's..hhm,nvm..i still want my head intact to its right place =) Dun get me wrong, it just tat it's not the right thing to talk abt someone else + there isnt much to talk abt anyway .

I respect her vr much, vr grateful n thankful tat she's my leader.. The reason is because Mr Ariefin (myself) not an easy person to teach (can chck wif my mom if dont believe..hehe..). Im also SURPRISED when she or ppl say Ariefin is teachable. I wonder why..nono..i mean it must be because of HiM to place her under the authority over my life.. Really thank God for her to be my leader.

Wait,wait,i think i sidetrack quite a bit there. Bck to the main topic..cuz of the stress tat i had, i thought of goin to Heaven..Anyway, i went to talked to my leader over the phone..we talked,discussed, she gave me some advices..aft the conversation i had with her, i feel life is so beautiful like WoW,look!vr nice blue sky =) But,my hand was shaking a bit during the sharing i had with her (was it cuz of the presence of Holy Spirit or my hand just tired of holding the phone? Hhm,im not sure myself). One more thing,i hope my phone bill wont be too high at the end of the month. I mean i've been calling ppl here n there too.

Last time i didnt really like to giv ppl a call..u ask me to call tis person or tis person,i die die wont do it even if Evyette asked me..it was cuz.. ok,i call.. then?? I mean talk abt wat? how long i've to talk?(if the person vr talkative..good or bad?). But now,i see myself n say to myself..not bad Ariefin,yeah! Way to go man!..yep, i've changed littl by littl. Though there's a special case if talk to my opposite gender..vr stress man -.- (it's not like last time when i can only say 1 or 2 words).
Yep, so for the past few weeks..really really tough but i made it through with the help of HiM, Pst Kong, Evyette, Qiaofen n many others. Love all of them, love my CG s23, love n peace alwys! *S23,Evyette--5

Aljunied + Seeking for a help

2008-03-23T02:03:00.000-07:00

Hhm..Since abt 3weeks ago,now my CG like to go Aljunied for fellowship. Well, i find it very good.. cuz every time we go there,we'll definitely walk here n there. I like it cuz i feel like we're going for an adventure n the environment closely like in Indo,where i used to live. To be honest, the environment sometimes makes me want to get into a fight. It's not tat im looking for trouble..but nvm,i guess im juz too stressed.

The problems come one after another..when i thought..ok good,one problem solved. The nxt thing i knw,2 more problems need to be solved. It's not tat i didnt try to get a help, but everybody seems vr busy n they hv their own problems too + they've tried but they also cant do anythg. The problem here is in order to solve these problems,they need to..hhm..i dont knw how to say.

But for me, wat i do is when i talk to someone, i try to show the unconditional love tat i learnt from HiM, find the 'core', live in truthfulness (open their hearts up by open yourself up first n speak with sincerity),n carry it out with the attitude of servanthood. Well, i just wanna say one thing..it wont alwys work the way u want to be all the time since human's brain is complex.

I really wanna thanks to Miss Jazlyn Chua or Qiaofen=) Because of her, through her, from her tat i learnt just a few meaningful things when we were still in the same 'family'. Then later on, this few things developed into countless great lessons tat i've been holding onto in my life n for the rest of my life.

Btw,i've nothg to hide to my leader(for reference,my leader is Hui Jun..hoho,know her?)..hhm,so yeah,just want to say tat she knows wat i know..hhm,yeah almost evrythg. *S23,Evyette--4

Ignorant-Observant

2008-03-04T05:23:00.000-08:00

I've heard someone said this bfr (not to me though), "Ignorant people are sure blissful".

For me, being observant quite a pain in the head..but i just cant help it. I mean there's nothing bad abt being observant,but it doesnt mean it's no good of being ignorant. Sometimes, for certain case in a certain situation you have to become ignorant as a result of you are being observant.
This is not going to get anywhere..haiz -_- Never mind

I dont knw if i can do somthg.. Im looking for somthg, or 'someone' which is needed, in order for me to do somthg special, somthg different. I want to do little little things for someone n anothr someone n anothr someone, could find somthg to be somebody.

Continuation--2

2008-03-03T14:03:00.000-08:00

In my previous post,i did say i wanted to elaborate somthg..but aft second thought, i decided to just leave it as it is. The reason is simply because i couldnt find a way how to elaborate it.

On Monday (Feb 26th),early in the morning, ard 1.30am..i was vr tired, wanted to get some rest abt 3hrs bfr i continue to study. So,when i was trying to sleep i just couldnt sleep at all. I thought the reason behind was somthg like when parents lost their beloved child..I mean the anxiety, confused,worried..(maybe partly). But i found out the true reason when i woke up at 430am.. I saw so many stars spinning ard my head..yes,i was sick-.- I lost my appetite,headache,bodyache + heartache ( have u ever felt so miserable when u lost one of your dear family member? If u did,then you'll understand wat im talking abt ).

FAMILY is

A place where i share my joy, happiness, revelation (the good things) ; a place where i share my sadness, sufferings, problems (the bad things)..

A place where i learn from one another, i learn abt Trust, Truth, Unconditional Love..

A place where i found the meaning or purpose of my life, my Destiny, aft being reborn n received a New Life. All of this thanks to Him,my saviour.

Im really blessed because my first n second family are truly wonderful =)

The Beginning followed by ice cream,coffee,salt,etc

2008-02-24T03:03:00.000-08:00

First n foremost,i'd like to giv my thanks to Ms Michelle"Apple"Fae n Mr Jonathan for helping me to created tis blog. Actually,i wanna share why i decided to create a blog n the reason behind why i chose tis blogskin,but i thk i'l save it for later..in the future i mean,but i dunn when.

Huah!!I hav a lot of thgs to do..my connect grp, sch+Mock exam, discipleship, refinementship, Ariefin's Grand PLan..hehe.., special plan..hoho.. n many more.

Ystd,aft a long but incredibly meaningful service by Pst Ulf ended,i or rather we,heard a vr sad news abt one of our dear friend. I was quite devastated when the news broke out to us. I feel vr useless couldnt do a thing to help. I feel like want to kill myself,cuz tis is not my first encounter but then again i dunn for how many times i was completely hopeless. Somthg like losing ur limbs one by one,can only see ur good friends gone. Nvr knw when u can see them again, wat happens to them aftwards, how much they've changed, to wat extend, are they doing fine,etc.

I miss those times when i had BS wif her,sharing wif her, went for a meal 2gether (there was tis one awesome experience, i tasted a vr delicious chcken rice for e first time!!) Pls take note,it wasnt my first time tasted a chkn rice,bt my first time tasted a vr nice one,ok:) Well,im certainly gonna miss her..will alwys keep her in prayer.

*~ There are lots of stars in the sky. When a star is missing, the difference cant be seen by the eyes of normal people,but ASTROLOGISTS are different!! ~*

.. i got headache,still need to study..i'l elaborate the phrase above nxt time. *S23,EvyettE--1
