I'd love to have sometime to clean my room. I would love to rearrange my room, clean up the mess, organise my wardrobe and clothes and go shopping for funitures at IKEA.
I'd like to have sometime to learn the Label M products information. Revise the haircuts.
I need to make my vision board. I really need to. But I want my room to be neat and tidy first! Decorating comes after the rearrangement.
I want to be a useful tool at God's church. I want to be in the right field to serve others.
I want Jesus, to be by my side and continue to lead me for the rest of my life.
I would really want to finish off reading the "fit for life" book but I knew I didn't have time today, and it's too late right now. I am so sleepy at the moment.
I thank God for everything: giving me amazing family and friends, wonderful life lessons through trials and troubles, appreciations through hardship, patience through love, contentment through a lesser life of materialism. I Love Jesus and thank Him for everything.
Jesus, please help me in everything!

MAGPIE shoot!
It was amazing working on the first BIRD today LOL. Renny was great with the lovely make up from Chereine and so was Xiaohan with her wonderful photography skills. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. Must be good. Must be. Must be!
Well mum have decided to go on a holiday at the end of the year and I'm quite excited. I don't want to get my hopes up because it might not happen depending on how Cong goes with the cooking and stuff. If he can be confident then it would make mum really happy to go because she will trust that the restaurant will go smoothly when she's not around.
Well apart from that AAMI called today but I wasn't able to pick up. I wonder what they have to tell me. However, it doesn't really bother me much anymore because I know God will take care of everything for me. He will bless me and He will not let THOSE PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION. I know this battle is not mine and even though I was fearful and afraid before, I am no longer so. I trust in my Jesus, almighty God that by his glorious power, He will turn situations around.
I need to give Sveta a call about the driven lessons.
I need to decided if I can do Jovie's hair on sunday.
I need to make some business cards for myself. Or start designing it at least and get them printed out when I'm overseas so they're cheaper.
And last but not least, I DEFINITELY NEED TO START AN AMAZINGLY HEALTHY EATING LIFESTYLE WITH CONSISTENT EXERCISE REGIME! I have to look my best when I'm overseas. I have to! I have to and I need to. I also realllllyyy need to do it for God as well.
My body is in pain today. So much pain. This is like the first time in SO LONG that I can relate to the feeling of post workout. But it confirms to me that what I did wasn't wasted and I did a good job. I tried my best. But I also need to keep this effort up and climb that mountain. I don't want to make a step then stay stationary. I want to keep going and going and going!

So....... tiredd?
Well I was happy that today I worked out. I was looking forward to it so much and I was excited to finally start living a healthy lifestyle again. I've realised how weak I've become. I mean, I'm not weak, but I'm not as strong as how I used to be. That makes sense though because I haven't worked out in so long plus I've been eating quite bad. But now, I don't even feel like touching any of the junk. The harder I work out, the better I want to eat. I want to look after my body so much. It is God's temple. And I have a message to carry. If somehow my body breaks down, I will be responsible, and will not be able to fulfill His calling for my life effectively. I couldn't do the whole work out that I set out for myself, but at least I did all that I could. I would rate today's work out as a 9/10 for intensity. I really felt like my heart was going to swallow up my body. It was beating so fast, made me felt very uncomfortable, different to any other time I've exercised. But, I feel great afterward so that's the main thing. I know that as long as I have the willingness to start then the rest will take care of itself. Like when you sow a seed. It would not sprout until some weeks later. But it would have never sprouted had you not sow the seed. So with me, I'm glad that I have decided to take a step to start, and even if I don't see the result until a few weeks later, I know that every work-out, everything I eat is crucial in achieving that the healthy body I'm aiming for. I'd usually like to take a picture of myself or measure myself just so I can see the improvement later on. But I've decided not to. Ultimately I'm not doing this for myself but I'm doing this mainly because I want to look after God's body. I want to look after what he has given me with. Whatever I'm given, I hold responsibility. I need to take care of it as much as I want, and Zuzana is my inspiration. You just have to give a LITTLE bit of your time everyday, investing in doing some form of physical activity on a high intensity level and eat right. It's as simple as that. I believe if I continue to do what I'm doing today, I will be amaze at the result once it comes.
What's different about this time compare to all the other time is that I'm doing this REALLLLYYY for God's sake. For a Godly purposes. Only a very minor percentage of it is for myself, but mainly and most of it, is dedicated to Him. Jesus is amazing.
There is so many things for me to get done and I just want to rest right now so I can continue reading my e-book and write up my personal statements. I need to do many things but I'm not going to list them all down here because I believe that God will help me to prioritise and allow me to accomplish all that I need to do.
The shoot is tomorrow with Xiaohan, I hope the weather would be better than today. I pray that God would pour out his Holy Spirit upon me so I can produce an amazing piece of work!! I trust in Him. I will always trust in Him, forever and ever!

I really want to start. I really want to do this. I feel like I really need to. I need to get back on track. I prayyyyyyyyy that God will help me to wake up tomorrow and commit to what I want to do. You will always reap what you sow, there is NO "effective" SHORTCUTS when it comes to fitness.
God PLEASE help me. So I'm happy that at least today I've attempted to eat right again. Although, not perfect but I made the effort to start so that's a good sign.
So for tomorrow, I have work all day, but I think it is crucial for me to do a workout in the morning. For the rest of the day, I want to eat healthy and that means PLANNING my meals because it will help me to stick to the plan.
Breakfast: Yogurt w/ fruits & nuts
Break1: banana smoothie w/ protein powder
Lunch: Chicken Salad
Break2: 1 Egg & corns
Dinner: Boiled Vegetables & seafood
YAY..Okay let's startt and be even better than how I used to be this time last yearr!!!!!

Habit 2: Begin with the End in mind
Peter Drucker and
Warren Bennis, "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things."
Management
is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning
against the right wall.
Effectiveness -- often even survival -- does not depend solely on how much effort we expend, but on
whether or not the effort we expend is in the right jungle.
Proactive powerful leadership must
constantly monitor environmental change, particularly customer buying habits and motives, and
provide the force necessary to organize resources in the right direction.
Efficient management without effective leadership is, as one individual phrased it, "like
straightening deck chairs on the Titanic."
Write A personal mission statement
People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to
change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.
Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem,
your basic personal strength or lack of it.
Guidance means your source of direction in life. Encompassed by your map, your internal frame of
reference that interprets for you what is happening out there, are standards or principles or implicit
criteria that govern moment-by-moment decision-making and doing.
THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE Brought to you by FlyHeart
Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various
parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment,
comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, an integrated wholeness.
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the
vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply
embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
These four factors -- security, guidance, wisdom, and power -- are interdependent. Security and
clear guidance bring true wisdom, and wisdom becomes the spark or catalyst to release and direct
power. When these four factors are present together, harmonized and enlivened by each other, they
create the great force of a noble personality, a balanced character, a beautifully integrated individual.
If you are Church Centered...
SECURITY
Your security is based on church activity and on the esteem in which you are held by those in
authority or influence in the church.
You find identity and security in religious labels and comparisons.
GUIDANCE
You are guided by how others will evaluate your actions in the context of church teachings and
expectations.
WISDOM
You see the world in terms of "believers" and "non-believers," "belongers" and "non-belongers.
POWER
Perceived power comes from your church position or role.
Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths, generic common denominators. They are
tightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty, and strength through the fabric
of life.
WISDOM
Your judgment encompasses a broad spectrum of long-term consequences and reflects a wise
balance and quiet assurance.
You see things differently and thus you think and act differently from the largely reactive world.
You view the world through a fundamental paradigm for effective, provident living.
You see the world in terms of what you can do for the world and its people.
You adopt a proactive lifestyle, seeking to serve and build others.
You interpret all of life's experiences in terms of opportunities for learning and contribution.
A good affirmation has five basic ingredients: it's personal, it's positive, it's present tense, it's visual,
and it's emotional. So I might write something like this: "It is deeply satisfying (emotional) that I
(personal) respond (present tense) with wisdom, love, firmness, and self-control (positive) when my
children misbehave."
One of the main things his research showed was that almost all of the world-class athletes and other
peak performers are visualizers. They see it; they feel it; they experience it before they actually do it.

awareness that someone has transcended suffering, has transcended circumstance, and is embodying

THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE HABIT 1 : BE PROACTIVE |
Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results. Habit 1: Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather. All of these external forces act as stimuli that we respond to. Between the stimulus and the response is your greatest power--you have the freedom to choose your response. One of the most important things you choose is what you say. Your language is a good indicator of how you see yourself. A proactive person uses proactive language--I can, I will, I prefer, etc. A reactive person uses reactive language--I can't, I have to, if only. Reactive people believe they are not responsible for what they say and do--they have no choice. Instead of reacting to or worrying about conditions over which they have little or no control, proactive people focus their time and energy on things they can control. The problems, challenges, and opportunities we face fall into two areas--Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. Proactive people focus their efforts on their Circle of Influence. They work on the things they can do something about: health, children, problems at work. Reactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Concern--things over which they have little or no control: the national debt, terrorism, the weather. Gaining an awareness of the areas in which we expend our energies in is a giant step in becoming proactive. |
Calling to the unknown
I just want to be used more and more for the kingdom of God. I know I can be used for so much more. I thank Him for the blessing He has given me but I know it is nothing compare to the greatness He has prepared for those who obeys, loves him and are called according to his purpose.
I was just looking at how Michelle Phan has achieved so much ever since she started her channel on Youtube. She is now the official make up artist for Lancome, not only that she is also on Vogue and other magazines, and she's also just recently been on Fox. I guess that's what happens for people do thing out of passion.
So between a job and a dream, I'm still caught in between. I believe that I'm about to travel on the bridge of a "dream-job" which is hairdressing, because I believe God has placed a gift in me for that area. But it won't be long until I reach my dream. I will not be doing it forever of course. I mean, who stays on a bridge forever if they need to reach the other side? Eventually, I would need to fully step into the dream God has prepared ahead of me. I will then need to fulfill the calling which was established long before I even stepped on earth. Now I finally understood what He meant when He told me that hairdressing will only take up 1/4 of my time here on earth, the other 1/4 will be mission work (which I am really passionate about as well) and the last 1/2 is to preach.....? I'm still kind of shocked...or kind of unsure of how this would turn out. To preach? When? Where? How?
But last night's message at church really emphasised everything that we've been talking about at our connect group and everything else I've been studying for the past few days.
It's Walk by Faith, Not by Sight. and
WHERE WE ARE GOING IS WHERE WE'VE NEVER BEEN.
and we need to step into the "UNKNOWN" !
We say: "God you show and I'll go."
But God says: "No, you go and then I'll show!"
How amazing is our God. Jesus is so great. I am ready to step into the unknown. I just need him to push me right in it!
