The distance

Just some words from my heart

Was thinking deeply recently on my relationship with God, and realised that I have stepped away from the track that He had prepared for me long long ago. Still pray to Him, but I can feel that it's no longer as 'hot' as before.

I admitted that I am a great sinner, I done something wrong and I pray for forgiveness, and then, I repeated the same mistake. What happen to the old me? I used to be so close with God. God has answered a few of my prayers and yet I gave no thankful heart to Him.

Sometime when I feel that life is too hard for me, God is everything I ever needed. I wanna change, I want God to be my everything in any situation. Truth to be said, all this while, it is not me who hold on God, but its God who hold on and protect me.

Temptations are everywhere in this world, its very easy for me, the weak one, to fall into these traps. For times I fail God, for times I fail to live a Christian life, yet oh Lord, your great mercy and unconditional forgiveness wash away my sin again and again. I'm not worthy to be the child of yours God :'(

I prayed to God wishing Him to give me strength to live a Christian life, but I myself did not put any effort in it. This will never draw me close to you if this continues. Lord, what can I do for me to go back to the humble and innocent life I used to have? Please help me...

Standing by the door knocking, hoping that God would allow me in. I remembered for times I have come and God has let me in without any further hesitation or doubt. And yet I doubt when it comes to witnessing the glory of God in front of non-Christian friends, I'm such a great sinner.

A song that can sum up my feelings, from Rush of fools- UNDO

I've been here before
Now, here I am again
Standing at the door
Praying You'll let me back in

To label me
A prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace I need You,
I need Your help I can't do this myself You're the only one
Who can undo what I've become

I focused on the score
But I could never win
Trying to ignore
A life of hiding my sin

To label me
A hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace I need You,
I need Your help I can't do this myself You're the only one
Who can undo what I've become

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace I need You,
I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
You are the only one who can undo
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

Don't mean to scare you but this is a 153pictures blog post. I spent hours to edit them and hours to upload them, so I wish you can spend at least 30mins to read them haha!

Was at Sakae Sushi Restaurant of Novena Square last Sunday for lunch.

This is not just an ordinary green tea, it's Genmaicha, comes with the flavor of brown rice + green tea.



The environment is quite nice, with japanese song played on the background.



View in front of me, just like Brunei Excapade, they have an area where they make sushi :)



And I ordered River Eel Hot Pot Rice, which comprises of fried egg, japanese mushroom, fish eggs, rice, eel and miso soup.



There's quite a lot of 'juice' shops in Singapore. I think it's very healthy too.



Tried Avocado with milk, superb! Improves skin texture, good for digestion and many more!



Mee Siam of ToastBox, Singapore!



Hang around Takashimaya, Singapore the other day too. And came across this!
I've always love eating this so-call "Popia". During the old school time, I remember I always go to canteen for the Fried Vegetable Popia for Lunch, and it cost only B$0.50 each!



Fulfilled my tummy requirement haha



Look it's the 'iron-man'! He moves whenever you put coins into the box in front of him :) I wonder how he can hold on that long without moving an inch at all!



Cereal Fish Rice of Mini Wok Delights at Food Republic of Somerset. Ate that under a very hungry situation, I can say it's the best food ever! *at that particular moment*





Had lunch with my school friend, Hang. Yes we missed each other so much eventhough we didn't meet up for a few days only haha.


My Pepper Chicken Rice with Cheese :P Doesn't seem like my ordinary order right? Well I've changed!


Hang's curry mee, seriously the soup really taste superb!

Ok, now the on-topic starts here!
Me and some of my church friends visited Gardens by the bay the other day. We meet up at Bayfront MRT station, I realised that MRT station is always the best place to meet up, which is easy to know and prevent yourself from getting lost too lol.
Marina Bay Sands Hotel.


The super amazing design of the ceiling of Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Love the whole artitecture thingy!


Behold the 4 pretty girls! Starting from the left, Becky, Joanne, Ashley and Deanna!

Ahead of us is the Supertree Grove!

Please bring an umbrella when you visit there, because it's freakingly hot under the sun, except when raining lolz.
Girls trying to plan the trip route

Closer look of us hehe.

Supertrees are tree-like structures that work as environmental engines for the gardens.
Some geographical chart explaining how supertree works!
OCBC Skyway, breathtaking of wider view of the gardens :D

We waited for Elise, who was on her way.
There she is, holding a camera happily
I asked her to join and I take a photo of them looking at the stone, she doesn't want, and this is my solution lol!



There's a story behind this lion stepping on a baby lion.
This reminds me of my up-flipped umbrella T.T There's a weird smell coming from this plant, smells like something has just decomposed.

Bought a ticket to Flower Dome, more expensive charge for visitors! :( So sad T.T
I just bought the ticket to Flower Dome, apart from the limited time, it's also because of expensive admission charge lolz, I've exceeded my budget. Gotta clear it out before I go back to Brunei coming August lol!
Entering Flower Dome! All you can see is flowers! Digital flowers! Each screen has a small tv that shows a video of how they grow and bloom, simply amazing :)



Oh my, this is the most wonderful place I've seen so far in Singapore! Yes yes aircon is one of the reason lol, but what really matter is the holy BIG garden, full of plants and flowers!

Ok despite from the huge amount of pictures I've took during the visit in flower dome, and the fact that I don't know their name and it takes time to describe all of them, you will see more of pictures than words. Ahh in other word, let the pictures speak!


I really salute the gardeners who did all this! The first group of plants that greet you on the entrance is the 'cactus' family.


FYI, starting from the following pictures, I took them by my phone, HTC Sensation XE because my camera out of battery which I didn't expect at all T.T I was so sad at first, thinking like if using phone camera quality wouldn't be that good, BUT! the result is shocking! Ok ok, let them speak, let them speak.

Hawaiian Skirt, idea from Deanna lol!





-Out for the Flower Dome-
Sorry I have to share a bit of religious thingy here, taking all those pictures of flowers and plants in Flower Dome, I realised that our Creator is the greatest creator of all, He is really amazing and has an infinite powerful creativity! He creates the flowers and plants in such way they have different scents, different colors or mixture of amazing colors of the same kind, different shapes, different textures and etc. While editing those pictures, I was like stunt for a little while, admiring the close view of the flower, not my skill of photographing. Really really fallen in love with them, heart beats fast when looking at them too! This is madnessSparta!
Me and wooden lions outside the Flower Dome
Ladies on wooden elephants :D
This is Cloud Forest, which we didn't enter. View from the outside.

Elise the photographer.

Yeap, as soon as we finished our visit on Flower Dome, we lepak around the Dragonfly river (PS: There is no living dragonfly on the river tho) and ended our trip at MRT station.

It was a great day! I saw people taking pre-wedding pictures at Gardens by the bay, indeed it is a very suitable place! Thanks to the girls for the great trip and experience!
Last but not least, my kawaii dinner.

Thanks for reading my pictures>words post!
Hope you all enjoy readviewing it :D
