We Won!!!


Ben & Jerry's ice-cream indeed made our day on sunday! -we won the story conetest, and was given a BJ fridge with 30pints of BJs!! yes, i mean 30 PINTS. Not minicups! no kidding! the freezer was like half my height!


Pammie was hyper-ly surprised by the B&J team! many smiles! =)


I was equally shocked when the person-in-charge called me a week ago and told me that pammie is the winner for the fridge! aw! i literally screamed "yay!!" into the phone! well, with a tinge of disbelief, i hung up with excitement!!!


Sunday arrived quickly! (thank God) but my gosh.. it was so hard to convince pam to go home(u know how buzy she gets on sunday??!!) I came up with all sorts of excuses and at last, had to use my mom as the final weapon. hee. aunty power!



Everyone was shocked, but pleasantly surprised when BJ team arrives! Pammie & me were being interviewed!



I'm really thankful for this mega surprise! I'm so glad to see pam happy! I feel so proud and glad to know that Ben & Jerry agreed with me that such a wonderful person like pam deserves a treat, a mega-type treat! It didnt take me much to write about her as she is just overly inspiring and real!! In fact, i felt like the short paragraph wasn't sufficient for me to share all that she has done!

check out this link for the stories!- pam's story is entitled "pass it on". http://www.benjerry.com.sg/birthdaybash/


Such inspirational lifestories need to be passed on. Such spirit of love and trust needs to be passed on. Message of God's love need to be passed on. The yumminess of bj needs to be passed on too! -pass it on!


All in all, thanks pam, for being such a wonderful mentor and friend. keep on shining for God

God is really good to us. I see His hands and His providence. I'm overwhelmed by His love for us. I have to testify the goodness and faithfulness of God!!

er.. yes, am gonna put on weight! haha. i've finished 2 pints (with mommy) since sunday... many more to gooo....BJ rocks!

Youth at Risk


Watched a local movie-The Days on sunday. Free tickets are great! Thank God for great friends! I loved the movie. I normally dont praise local films but this time, i would say. 4 popcorns! worth the time and $_$. The movie brought me back to secondary school days. Reflecting upon my past, i thank God for His grace and protection. I could have fallen into the trap of gangs so easily since so many people wanted to fight me. haha. It's based on a true story. How real and how sad that it really happened and is probably still happening...

Looking at troubled youths pains my heart. I've been working with a few of them lately. I feel like going all out to protect them, to help them, and most of all, to tell them that there is a God who loves them. Other than God, i do not know how to comfort them. His loved one died, he took drugs, he cursed, he regretted, he cuts himself, he tried to crash his bike against a wall, he drank 4 bottles of hard liquor, he cried, he fought, he doesnt want to live. He's too young to have to fight this war. "Eileen, i dont know why things turn out this way for me. i dont have a choice. i do not have a future anymore. there's no point living..."

I was heartbroken. I put down the phone and i felt great pain in my heart. Sometimes it's too hard to change. Too hard to start over. Too many decisions in life we have to make. But i feel sorry for them for they are very very young. In my words, too young to have to go through these things. They never had happy childhood. All they want in life is acceptance and love. All they are looking for is someone who could extend a helping hand to walk them through. I pray they get to know my best friend and personal savior, Jesus.

Wet Weather

many nights this week i was awakened by flashes of lightning and howling wind. It's been raining so hard. Really nice to sleep in! haha. made things difficult in the morning. The thought of getting up... walking on wet grounds.. gosh. Did not sound too attractive to me.


the rain slowed things down. well, am glad that work load reduced too.

Am awaiting for sunshine. Yes, sunshine after the heavy rain.
Hope things can be better very soon.


well... that's all for work.

Went to evangelistic service with my parents, sister helen and yushan's family!. i believe that seeds were sown in the hearts of the pre-believers as the Truth was preached. I thank God for opportunities to share Christ with those who has yet to believe! Praying hard.
