Hey if any of you are bored, you can visit
http://projectpaintbrush.blogspot.com/ and take a look at the project that my caregroup in church has decided to take up! :) We're painting HDB flats for old folks under Lion's Befrienders organisation. Heh it has really been great fun working hard for both fundraising sessions to buy enough paint and brushes as well as the painting sessions themselves! Ok actually we've only had one painting session so far which involved us painting 2 HDB apartments at Boon Keng just yesterday on 20th Jan! I think I've really learnt lots and gained lots from this project in less tangible ways too :)
the painting team at lunch break! :)
One thing I have certainly improved in is my culinary skills! lol! Haha I've never baked anything before except for the CA3 cheesecake back in HCCG! Haha, but then again, I wasn't involved in the actual baking now I think of it... lol! Oh dear I'm so unhelpful. I do remember being in the kitchen area though...and the eating part too... haha... maybe they decided I was too noob in my cooking skills! Haha, but anyhow, this time in the graduates group, I guess God forced me to put my noob skills to work since I was the only one whose job allowed me to be available in the mornings... so I had to be there for both cookie-baking sessions! Woah the 2nd one was scary coz cutcake found a job and I was the only one left with Abigail. We did it at Abigail's mum's stall... While I was sieving the flour, Abi's mum said something like "woah girl, at the rate you are going, you are going to break the sieve through!" oh man! and that was my first task of the day la... How saddening... haha... But never mind... here's a photo of the cookies that had my contributions k! Not bad right! =p haha... okok must be humble... lol...
yumyum! don't they look yummy? haha!
Hmmm yup I think I've also definitely got to talk more to the people in my CG through this project... It's great that my CG is quite small actually, because it allows everyone to interact with each other a lot and so everyone is quite comfortable with each other already by now I believe. I'm really happy la, because for the HC ppl in this CG, I know that I didn't put much effort into talking to them very much in the previous HCCG, but now that ppl like Fungmin, Yvonne, Eunice, QinPei aren't around anymore, I have no choice but to open myself up to the others. Haha, ok la not no choice... but I guess the opportunities to talk to them are now placed directly in front of me such that I am much more aware of them. It's good la, I think God is helping me to open up more. I can't always stick to and talk only to the people whom I am close to.

I love my dearest Abi! ahah...
yay this project has also helped me to open my eyes a lot to the bigger community. It’s really wonderful and meaningful to be able to show love not only to people within the church, but to also let this same love be extended to people outside of church. A lot of times I think people in church focus too much on only caring about church people, bringing people to church, etc. so this is a great project to embark on so that we're not just entrapped within the four walls of church. The church has no walls, after all.
Anyway here's a photo of my cousin, my sister and I! We've been calling ourselves "san1 ge4 ying3" since young.. meaning the three "yings"! haha, because my cousin's called Fang Ying, my sister's called Li Ying, and I'm Hui Ying. haha... we're all 2 years apart - my sister is 15 this year, my cousin is 17 and I'm 19! AH so old my gosh. haha... well anyway my cousin joined my family during our dinner last weekend! Yup and so we took a photo at the famous "LOVE" sculpture since I happened to bring a camera along...
Li Ying, Hui Ying, Fang Ying! :)
Hmmm heh anyway I have a new sheep
SiYun! yup haha here's a photo of us at Khatib Macs during our 2nd shepherding session :) She's a great sheep to have la... Really friendly and open! haha... I enjoy our talking sessions very much :)

yay and finally a photo with my shepherd and I! Oh man we're such busy busy busy people. But I'm really glad that we are still able to make time for each other. I miss talking to you! Hmmm I think God has really made a way for us every week or at least every fortnight to be able to meet up despite our busy schedules :) yay thank God for that!
Yay this photo was taken during class dinner at Sakura where each girl had to pay lots of $$ each since we were treating the guys! Ahhh pain pain. Haha but it was worth it for all the 2 years la :)
Alright, I still have lots more to say. I'll update more soon! :)
