Did I Tell You...

...How blessed I am...
to have people like you...
to remind me...

the reason I am here for...


that God has sent you to walk thru life with me...
thru different seasons especially the hardest/toughest times in my life...
you were willing to be there for me...
So I wanna share my joys with you as well....

friendship which has grown...
the power of fellowship with one another, with those whom you've known for a long time or just a short period of time...

of God's love & grace in my life... even when I don't feel I deserve it...

that life can be full of surprises...
even when I thought I already know what it really means & thought of what I could expect...
when in reality I really don't...

that I have people I can look up to...
not just my peers but older brothers & sisters that would support & be an encouragement to me thru the way they live and speak into my life...

Also, to the many who have crossed paths with me...
who may not be in the pics...

...Thank you for being in my life...
I am ever grateful!

But most importantly,

...Thank You God...

Early Rise...

I've been noticing my waking up pattern...
I've 'almost' been consistently wake up at 7.10am on weekdays, however quickly fall back into sleep after that, reasoning with myself that I need more sleep & rest before I start work.

However, I remembered the prayer I made...
"Lord, wake me up early so that I may spend time with You".

"Lord was that You?", I asked this morning
Wow! He sure responded really quickly.

People who know me.. I am NEVER an early riser.
okie.. maybe never is too strong of a word to use.

Nwayz, I realised that... if you really really call upon His Name and truly wanna seek Him. Well, there gotta be a first step somewhere...
He will respond. Most of the time, He does it in ways we do not expect, but He responds.
He usually does anyway. Unless, He's got a purpose of not responding (like the story of Job) - but at the end of it He did respond!

So yeah.. Lesson learnt.

So, Lizzie if you do wake up early.. just get up!! If u really mean what you say, den do it. Get yr lazy bumm of the bed and just do it! Discipline my dear... Then you can go back to yr cozy bed and sleep (if u have the time) :)

Weirdness~

If I..
Sleep late -> Waking up early -> On Time for tram

If I..
Sleep early ->Wake up late -> Miss tram >.<

HOW CAN THAT BE???
=.=

Let's also look into my energy levels...

Fewer hours of sleep : Alertness level is higher in the morning -> drops after lunch (zombie-nized) -> rises at about 3.30pm -> quickly drops after 5.30pm.

More hours of sleep: Alertness level is lower in the morning (extra blur) -> gradually rises throughout the day -> drops in the evening (still experimenting)

sigh...
So is sleeping earlier + more hours really beneficial?

My bioclock is obviously chaotic.

She's so Lizzy~

Lizzie misses being...
... crazy... cheeky... funny... happy... smiley... dreamy... free-ly...
Don't know what other words I can use that ends with Y di.
Dizzy? Don't like to be dizzy. LOL!
Well, she is always busy. That's without a doubt.

Lizzie misses being LIZZY! XD

Not that I am not now.

Thoughts...
Does all of those characters really dimishes when u start working?
How do u balance with... Fun vs work? Childlike heart vs maturity? Personal time & rest vs time with people?

Can Lizzie be even more lizzier than before? Or do ppl see that trait diminishing in her life?

What does it really mean to be a Lizzy? Any ideas?
