Just over 20 hours to the craziest journey of my life, and I am feeling a whirlpool of emotions in my heart. A million thoughts running through my mind, and all the what-ifs are flooding in. But in the midst of aaalll these feelings, emotions and thoughts.. I know I am right where God wants me to be, and whether it may be a smooth or rocky path ahead, He will ALWAYS be by my side :) Can't help

Jesus loves me, this I know, Though my hair is white as snow. Though my sight is growing dim, Still He bids me trust in him. (Chorus) Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The Bible tells me so. Though my steps are oh, so slow, With my hand in his I'll go. On through life, let come what may, He'll be there to lead the way. (Chorus) Though I am no longer young, I have much

You have no right to feel this way, absolutely no right, Joanna. Love is not self seeking.

The last 2-3 weeks has been super mega crazy. I survived: x planning, executing, and clearing up thanksgiving with the committee x reaching home at 3am+ almost every other day and sleeping at 4am every morning It's about 5 days till I officially start my journey as a missionary, and it kinda feels weird yet exciting but strange. It's a whole lot of mixed feelings - scared, happy, sad, excited,

In 2012,  I want to learn how to: x Listen without interrupting. x Speak without accusing. x Give without sparing. x Pray without ceasing. x Answer without arguing. x Share without pretending. x Enjoy without complaining. x Trust without wavering. x Forgive without punishing. x Promise without forgetting.

What defines a best friend? What are the requirements to be a good best friend? How many hours a week does it entail? Stupid questions that have no answers. A best friend is not defined by how many times they talk on the phone, or how many hours they hang out together. It is not defined by how many sleepovers they gossip at, or how many inside jokes they have. There are no requirements or laws

In the autumn on the ground, between the traffic and the traffic and the ordinary sounds I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through i watch as lovers pass me by Walking stories - whos and hows and whys Musing lazily on love Pondering you I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell When it's time to walk that way we wana walk it well I'll be waiting for you

Sometimes we expect more from others, because we would be willing to do that much for them. 12 days of december has gone past just like that, and the rest are going to slip away slowly too. There's also something about the cold weather that puts one in a pensive mood.. so many thoughts, so much emotions. Truly a love-hate relationship with this month.

WHAT A NOVEMBER IT HAS BEEN SO FAR. So there goes my last pay cheque, flying into thin air from debts, birthday parties and presents, activities with friends and from food. Having more time on my hands now since I'm freed up from a full time job means heading out more which essentially means eating out more and spending more. Sigh. & also, disappearing into thin air together with my money is my

"You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book" It's been a really rough week. Words really hurt, you know? Sometimes it's so strange because the people whom you think are the least likely to hurt you, are the ones to hurt you.

Isn't it so important to keep markers in our lives?  Sometimes along the way, we lose sight of the destination or the vision we once had in our heart. Things creep in and we're tempted to leave the path we're walking on to detour to another path which looks so much more promising and easier to walk on. Then we get angry because we wonder, what made us take the current path we're walking on now

Tonight at prayer meeting, my dad was sharing and he shared on the difficulties he and my mum used to face during the periods when dawn was going in and out of hospital. He shared this verse "Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you", and he said that no matter how tough it was looking at the situation, he always knew that God was in control. Shortly after, the song that was played

In the span of 2 months, I have seen how people can change their attitude towards me so drastically. When they are desperate for help, when they need me to come in - they're nice to me, they tell me things I want to hear, they make me feel like I can do it. But when they finally engage my help, when I'm sacrificing that bit of time/energy for something I could have said no to - they pick on every

In short here's how life has been for me: 1. Currently trying to get used to the working lifestyle.. which means no more waking up in the middle of the day, no more taking afternoon naps as and when I like it, no more working at b&j :'( Also seeing my saturdays totally burnt now, and weekends are just.. (sometimes) very draining for me. Handling stress and emails and workload again is also

Putting my thoughts into words, typing them out.. but sadly I think I've lost abit of how I used to write in the past. I'm wondering if it's because I was way more emo(tional) last time so I had more to write about haha. Definitely glad that

I'm so thankful that I have a Saviour who loves me (and you) so much that He suffered and bore all our sins on the cross, even though He was perfect and blameless.

I had a really nice time together with the company tonight, even though it was preeettyy impromptu and even though I (still) feel like a pig for eating so so so much for dinner. I think I'm very much of a sit-and-chill person. Don't fancy movies, walking around too much or crowds. Just good company + random talks + a pinch of silliness = a happy Joanna ☺ In five days, I will be leaving for

Haha I don't really want to complain that I'm bored because I know a lot of you will probably go "I'd rather be bored than study my head off etc etc" and YES I was once like that hahaha.

While cleaning the mess in my room accumulated from the bangkok trip & probably the whole of 2010, I found this small credit-card sized card that I bought from a christian bookstore waaayyy back in primary school. Those were the days where the 5 of us would spend our pocket money on small encouraging cards like these; either with verses or like cutesy pictures of uh some angels. I think I used to

Okay, not. I'm still 18. (nudge oldhags). Well at least till december pops by. Y'know the thing with going missing in action while blogging, everytime I click on 'new post' and try to type something

What I'll miss after starting school: * waking up every morning (after a late night) and running down to the carpark trying to find the car so that i know if i have transport for the day * driving around singapore (OK FINE, limited to bishan amk yck novena yishun thomson lavender) with ces being my google maps navigator ;) * working in b&j, because brainless scooping beats sitting in lectures.

Something interesting: I went inside my nuffnang account and these keywords are what people type into google and then end up at my blog. (somehow i cant seem to phrase this properly haha pardon me please)  #1: "frolick yogurt part time job" #2: "littlefootprint" #3: "yoguru job" #4: "frolick job" HAHA. It's quite amusing la.

Before I start school: I must lose weight. I think I put on weight :( :( :( :( :( :( :(  Sigh this is the only part of holidays that I don't like. You have so much time, you just want to eat. You get to stay up as late as possible, and you eat supper. Boohoo such is life. I wish my braces still hurt and that the tightening will stop me from eating SO MUCH (by my standards). I will burst out of

Mad morning rush with ces to centrepoint and then we went broke in about half an hour, throwing away $188 (but to a very good & permanent cause!) Then running to cineleisure to collect online loots (^^) and then training home to get the car, to drive

Wow. I had close to 3 months of holidays but now I have just 3 weeks left till it's my last, first day of school in poly ever. I don't want to graduate, I want to be YOUNG FOREVEEEERRRRRRR. Study, and then have the most awesome part time job ever (heh) and do this for the rest of my life. HAHA. Okay, so irresponsible this joanna. Only want to enjoy life.

I've been TOTALLY enjoying every bit of my holidays so far and basically I think it's just been awesome cause there's a balance of work at b&j's and also meeting friends, catching up etc! Also I have come to a sudden realisation that this is, this might be my last school semester holidays that i'll ever have :'( Given that I maaayyy start working after graduating with a diploma next year.

My working life in ben&jerry's is so exciting that I have new stories everyday. Walked into the shop this morning and called my manager, like she asked me to after I reached the shop. She told me that the accounts weren't closed properly last night and I can't use the machine until she comes down, etc etc etc blah blah cashier nets what money. She told me to write down orders manually until she

Did opening shift today, slightly a little wee bit more people than a normal weekday.. guess it's because it's teacher's day so all the teachers/students are out to play.  Anyway, my manager left at 1230pm or so? She told me a guy was coming in at 1pm for the mid-closing shift. Yes, a guy. Interesting... so I waited and waited and like up till 120pm he still didnt appear. By now the post-lunch

Today is my off day. I woke up to the sound of what sounded like a class of secondary school boys pouring into the house, shouting, screaming, throwing (unknown) items around which occasionally hit my bedroom door. Took my phone, checked the time.. groaned in frustration because darn. I realised today is teacher's day celebration for the kids so that means these boys will be in the house for the

If you've been following me on twitter you'd have read that about 1-2weeks ago I mass emailed yogurt / icecream shops and applied for part-time jobs! Shops like ben&jerry's, frolick, yoguru, berrylite.. etc. Yoguru was the fastest to get back to me, about 2 days after I emailed them. They replied with a few questions and asked me to answer and email them back before they arranged a face-to-face

A girl can never have too many pairs of footwear! The title says it all yay this post is about shoes! So a few weeks back I decided that I really needed sandals (like more) (okay fine, wanted not needed) because the only 2 I have sometimes didn't match with whatever I was wearing and I don't really like to wear pumps unless I have to. By saying have to I mean like matching wise with my clothes,

Quite a number of significant events have happened in this 2 months span and I do tell myself to come and update but I keep dragging it and there you go: no update. But I am on a semester break now teehee so I have plenty plenty of time to post! Feeling a little rusty at this already... Anyway don't ask me why I shifted back

Sometimes the irony of life is that the people you expect to show care and concern about you, are not the people who actually do so. I started attachment today, and for the life of me I think probably some of my closest friends don't even know. Although I am extremely grateful for the two people who actually bothered to drop a text to ask me to enjoy :) It wasn't exactly the easiest week that

I AM SO BORING :( 1) I haven't been much of a photo spam lately. Mainly because I feel fat from the lack of exercise, the not here nor there hair, and the bulky lx3 which makes it so difficult to do a quick snapshot. But I bought my new leather fitted case the other day so I am a very happy girl and I promise I will take alot alot alot of pictures this saturday during 180. 2) Someone find a

I came here to say that God takes care of his children :) I feel so blessed. This morning, I received a call at 8am in the morning from a father whom I met on saturday regarding english tuition for his girl. When I met with them on saturday, he asked me about my experience, where I study, etc. After telling him everything, I thought to myself, actually if I'm the father I won't even hire me. The

My Morning With MargaretMichele Lucia Brener People often ask me why I teach children. I've heard everything from "I don't know how you can stand it" to "You could be making so much more money doing something else." My usual response is to smile politely and explain that I love teaching. I say nothing of how upset I feel having to defend the fact that I spend the watching and helping children

It's a learning process. I know there are people who care, and I know God cares :) But I think right now all I need to know is that you care. It's funny how we both have the same character. I'm quite sure I got mine from you... and maybe that's why we're both this stubborn. I love you, I don't know how to express it. And I'm trying to see that maybe the way you show your love to each of us is

This is difficult. To one of the most important persons in my life, to someone I still look up to, to someone whom I still respect; you are hurting me. In the littlest things and the slightest of ways, yes you are hurting me very badly. To begin with, this whole situation reminds me exactly of what I watched in a drama serial last week. Exactly. The way they were treating her.. as if she was

People need to understand that children with special needs don't have any illness, so there is no cure and it's not contagious. They only want what we all want, to be accepted.

If you've ever experienced the loss, the passing of someone so close to you.. the pain can be so overwhelming. You feel like you're going to crumble any moment. When I saw how her mum broke down in the arms of somebody comforting her, my heart went out to her. I wouldn't dare to say I know exactly how her family feels, because every situation is different. The closest I can go is to emphatise

Whooops. So many things that's been happening recently. I think I've gone past the 'need to record every single thing thats happening in my life on this blog' syndrome. Last time it was maybe 90% of my life recorded down in this little box. Now it has dropped to about... 25%. Or lesser. Comfortable with this though :) Loving the privacy and getting excited when I see close friends now cause when

Okay, I'm not the most hardcore survivor fan. But I love watching it. Mostly after the seasons end though, because I like knowing the outcome of the show and whats gonna happen. Just so I don't die of shock while watching or become real upset when my favourite player gets voted off. I especially like reading wikipedia on the episode summary before watching that particular episode so I know who

I only have one word: FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cashed out the cheque from nuffnang in Sept 2009 and just about few weeks ago I was wondering.. eh what on earth the cheque is taking wayyyy too long to arrive so I sent them an enquriy. And realised that it was because I didn't put my full name at the payee section thats why they couldn't issue the cheque. But I didn't even get any email/

Hello. I had a really fufilling day and although at the end of it (now) I am maxed out and super tired, ready to crash my bed for the night (even after taking a 3 hour nap) - I am very very very happy! :) BECAUSE.. 1) For some reason my body decides to wake me up at 9.35am and for someone that slept at 4am, I definitely am NOT happy that I got woken so early. But I looked out the window and

Just a short update on my day. Driving wasn't too bad today. I went down alone and it felt a wee awkward but well almost all the people learning driving there were alone too so it didn't make sense for me to feel that way. Checked the screen and realised I got allocated the same instructor as yesterday! Thank God because I was praying I'd get a real patient dude who's nice and won't scold me when

sometimes, we all need a little respect. perhaps you should learn how to effectively communicate.

My first driving lesson was anything but shiok. In fact, it was so stressful I think within 2 hours I developed a driving phobia haha. I'm so thankful that Byron happens to be taking his lessons as well, and he just started! It makes things much easier when you have a friend to go down with, not so lonely :( haha. Anyway if you followed my tweets on my twitter, you'd have known I was pretty

I wonder if it's too overwhelming if I spam the pictures in one post haha. I've heard about blogger's auto pagination thing. Well honestly I dont really care la I mean not like I have 120983210938 readers like the popular bloggers, so if for some reasons my previous posts get pushed down and you cant find it.. then well too bad. I don't know how to fix it either and I'm too lazy to put up the

I feel a tinge of regret for reviving this blog and neglecting it for weeks. Haha. I'm already into the second week of my holiday (actually, the second week just ended) and so far I don't think I've done anything on my to-do holiday list yet. It's just been hard core bumming around and enjoying my online shopping sprees with the depleting cny money. The first week of my holiday, I kept saying I

The picture above has totally no relation to what I want to say but I just thought it was really funny. I haven't eaten subway for a long time too. The only time I eat it is when I'm in school at Makan Place. Haha. Anyway if you haven't already heard, I failed my Final Theory Test (hahahaha, thanks nikki for the the assurance that the acronym FTT stands for Fail The Test). The strange thing is

It's been a very long intense weekend. I'm glad that all my assignments for year 2 are finally completed, and now it's just down to the exams. Very, very dreaded exams. I need a brain massage after monday's paper is over. Psychology of Exceptional Children on friday, Final Theory Test on saturday, Child Health Nutrition on monday. The only thing I've started on and not completed is PEC. And

Okay, time to 'fess up. Who sent that dress to my house? Haha it's been a week and I haven't received any email/letter/sms whatever from anyone at all owning up about that dress I received in the mail, which I did not pay for or order at all. I am partially afraid to visit the place stated in the return address, even though it's just around the corner near my house on the same street. I don't

If you're wondering why I'm abandoning littlefootprint after so long, I don't have an explanation for it. Just thought it was time to move on, after about 7 years or so. Okay I'm just coming up with excuses. The truth is, I just felt like it. So I moved :) There is a reason though, to why I've been on a close to two month long hiatus. It's that.. I've been TOO LAZY TO UPDATE. (hahahahaha) No but

Of the 18 years I've had, I think this year would be the most difficult for me to describe in words. I admit, I failed a lot of times this year. I failed myself, my family, my friends and God. It was really a whole lot of being broken, almost losing myself and what I stood for, and crying till there wasn't any more tears to cry. The whole process of being moulded by God was really a humbling one

I never thought a day would come where I no longer want to come here daily. It feels weird, haha and I don't know why. Okay so there's still so many things I've yet to post about like the media fast, my eighteenth, the ongoing taiwan trip (yes im in taiwan) and etc. Maybe it was the media fast, or maybe its the age but I just don't feel like typing on a blank screen anymore. Haha. For once it

Emarking on something really exciting I'd never done before in all of my life. Here's to one month of getting a life outside of facebook twitter msn onlineshopping, learning that I can actually survive without the media, using the time to sleep properly and also to get the exercise on, and most importantly: spending time with the love of my life - God. Be back one month later, on 5th

I used to go through my day while typing daily posts but now I just do it mentally. Good preparation for the upcoming media fast. Anyway what brings me here this lovely sunday night?
