Fiona Banana



Lyrics:
Fiona nananana My banana
Fiona nananana My banana
Not mangoes, not cherries, not papaya
Fiona nananana My banana

And we'll go to Swensen's to have a Banana Split but we will probably just order everything~

Fiona nananana My banana
Fiona nananana My banana
Fiona nananana My banana (auto fade away)

Ah. The song that I wrote during network camp.
The annoying song that got stuck in everyone's mind.
Fiona, if you want me to sing this at your wedding please book me in advance.

WOAH

A friend(pre-believer) has a WOAH moment during one of our random rants and I thought I should share it with everyone. :)

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine,
we consciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.


I was being lazy to find and ask where he got this from.. but it doesn't matter isn't it? I just thought the last lines were especially liberating. :)

F is for my beloved Family

(From my blog)
This entry is dedicated to one of my most cherished gifts from above-my spiritual family. Keluarga saya. You all mean so much to me.

To Mel Mummy...Thank you so much for guiding me through life in these difficult growing up years. You're one of the only people in this world i'd tell practically everything to, and be sure that you'd give me the best advice, out of love, and you would most certainly keep my secrets and not judge me. I've grown a lot less dependent, but i still delight in the comfort that you are there to help me make decisions and encourage me along, i think i've truly grown to trust you, even in times when you're busy and don't reply me, i know you're praying for me, and that is enough.

To Yvonne...All these years that we were in the same family i've never expected us to be able to clique so well, like we have in recent months. Like we could crap together and all last time, but now i really feel so comfortable sharing with you, spending (so much) time together, being silly and having fun together. I still remember you were my angel. Haha.

To Valerie...I think God put us in the same cell for a reason, really. Though we are so diff (eg. taste in music), we are so alike in so many ways. There are things that i know only you can relate to. Recent days have brought us closer, thank you for putting your trust in me. Haha i think you're the kind of friend i can just sit at a cafe with and yak and yak for the whole day.

To Regina...The most significant phase of our friendship has to be when i was still in your cell, and i was going through the worst phase of my life. You were so supportive and encouraging even though i was truly wayward. You accepted me for who i was, and instead of condemning me and disciplining me you gave me comfort, which was really what i needed then. Though i struggled with your ways at first, that period of time i truly felt your love, and i will never forget.

To Elaine...Haha God brought us back in each other's lives in such an unimaginable way. And i am truly glad to have you in this family. You're such a gem to me. Everytime i see you i feel so comfortable. Just wanna pull u along to skip down the path with me or mess up your hair. Hee. Really do enjoy being around you.

To Cheong...I think God really brought us closer, through UWC, Egg camp, SOL, GB. Haha. I think our friendship was a bit awkward at first, but it has really grown. As i get to know u better i really appreciate your helpfulness, you're always the first one to volunteer if anyone needs help, or company. And your child-like faith and humbleness never fails to inspire me. Really enjoyed tt day out with you, learnt so much bout u tt i never knew before. Like how u're scared of birds. Lol. Thank you for trusting me, and i know you will keep my secrets well too. =)

To Peng...I really enjoy those late-night talks we have going home together. Somehow it's always kinda surreal, sitting at the bus-stop in the middle of the night sharing our thoughts, passions and dreams. You're someone i feel comfortable around. Thank you for the joy u bring. =)

To Desiree...Thinking back i really think u changed a lot. Haha. I remember years back u were quite shy, but now u're so much more confident. Wonder if u remember this but you prayed for me once, years ago, and the song "Holy holy holy" was playing. I remember i was really touched, and we hugged or something. Till now the song reminds me of u. I always think of u as the Prayer Warrior Princess. Hee. Your prayers are always so powerful and accurate.

To Chng...Your crazy "hey girls!" side of you brings out the nutty side of me. Hahaha. Actually i think you're a very funny person. Capable of making me laugh a lot. Love doing insane things together, like marching like penguins behind the girls just now. And bullying you. Lol. Yupp and i think you're a very caring and selfless person, though u might not realise it yourself.

To Gwen...Hahaha our taste in books is amusingly opposite. Love your easy-going ways, somehow i feel you take delight in little things, like a child would, and i really admire that. Love that u're always smiling and laughing, looking at u makes me wanna smile too. =)

To Fiona...I didn't really know u back then, when we were in the same cell. But upon coming back to become sisters again now, i feel that u've become a much happier person since last time. And a lot stronger, too. You might think u're weak, we all do, but i really do see God displaying His strength through u. Really v proud of u, how u go out of your comfort zone to mother your girls without complaint. I think u're doing a great job.

To Nuanyi...I've known u since bp netball times, though we weren't very close. That's...7 years. Haha. Think u've become a lot more talkative hee. Which is good. I really do think you're very talented, i know God has great plans for u to use this God-given gift. Be strong and very courageous, and go out there and do your best. We'll always be your greatest fans.

I love you all. =)
