11th May 2004 & ectera

11/05/04 was the date that got everything going. That day, I was still in my temp job waiting for time to pass so that I could go and cuddle & cradle my godson who is unable to stay in my arms for more than 5 mins now! That month was also the struggling month with God for me.

Now.. That was the date that I started my blog. =) By the MIGHTY powers of technology and with the combination of my personal journal, I was able to remember clearly what happened yonder years ago. (Hum.. Ok.. Maybe NOT that many years ago. Consistent journalling starts only about 3 years back)

I was having a good laugh at myself as I read the first few entries that I have written in my blog. Over the years , I found that I have learned how to express myself a tad better than 2 years back. Through the many changes, one thing remained the same though - My purpose of a blog. Haaa... I started a blog with the main intention of keeping my friends involved in my life. Along with it, comes the intention of learning how to be disciplined in writing, how to improve in my language, how to express myself & how I can use my blog to share the love of Christ.

Today, I spent a whole day at home (with the exception of my morning jog). Just wanted to rest myself from the outside world. Haaaa... Of late, I have been rather clogged up with thoughts. Too many changes that has been happening in my office that the Mel part of me needs a break.

I had a morning jog with a friend. A good catch up I must say. Then I went to borrow a DVD - Take the lead to watch together with my sister. It was an AMAZING movie based on a true life story of Pierre Dulaine on how he used dance to create magic in the lives of a bunch of worst & most troubled students in a school. Personally, I watched it with great interest - (1) Dance being something that I love & (2) the extra mile Pierre took to reach out to the youths. He persevered despite the many hindrances!

All righty.. Some photos from the past few nights:


Had Nexus half filled with kids on Thursday night! It was a RARE sight honest! We had a Zoo Hunt for the children with Elton as Zonk and Hannah as Zinc and I didn't managed managed to take a photo of the last gal - Aifang as Zoe. These 3 youths were amazing as they acted and served in various ways like P&W, deco, etc. That night, I felt I was a kid myself too!!




Haaa.. To end the week, my org had a sports event for the children and youth who are with us at a Secondary School. What happened and what games we played, don't ask me. What I ONLY remember was after the whole event, my colleagues and I had a fascinating time with the pond, the plants and the birds. We either had very deprived childhood OR we simply miss our childhood.
