random memory...

If those times were just a dream, I wish it never ended...

If those things you said were true, I could actually believe in them...

If you really kept all your promises, I wouldnt be so careful at present...

If you were unreal, I would be happier...

Somehow it seems, it would be best if u were just a pleasent dream. Hmm..

1/2 of promo papers BACK!

ok, so I have testimonies again!! :D hee.. let's start from the lousiest subject of the day..

Math. well, I was exactly devastated cuz I was expecting worse. I got an E. well.. u can say the grade is the same as my common test. however, the difference is that, common test, I actually got an S grade. but they moderated and gave me 1/2 a mark more, hence my E. so, overall, for the whole year, math, I got an E.

Next, econs. I got a D grade. Hmm.. Well, I am satisfied. Previously, for CT, I got an S grade, and this round I was aiming for about a D. So, God granted and blessed. Thank God!! =) overall, it averaged to a D.

Lastly, CHINESE!! man. ok, I hope I am not being insensitive or anything. as in, I am assuming hardly anyone reads my blog also. at least, pple from my class la. so, yeah.. CT, I got an E grade. for promos, I got....... A!!! haha.. who says pigs cant fly? who says Singapore is not snowing? who says water is not dry? haha.. ok, ignore what I jus typed. I was just totally in awe when I got my results. was like, tears of joy really felt like they were coming on. Such happiness and amazement that I couldnt describe. and Gracie bak gua was being such a darling la! for the first time in my life (if I recall correctly) a friend tells me "I am so happy for you". haha.. ok, so overall, I got a B for chinese.

Oh ya.. I was just thinking just now. what I said was not true. I did well in chinese before! PRIMARY 1 and 2! haha.. but since Primary 3, erm.... well..... ahhh..... hmmm.... yeah... u get my drift :D hee......

and God blessed gracie dear too! Praise the Lord!! and yes dear, I AM HAPPY FOR YOU!!

and to whoever (from A4) reads my blog: hey guys, hang in there aite? we will make it through. and I always believe, no matter what happens, God always has a plan (for those of you who believe there is a God. I DO!) :D yupp.. so, no matter what, let's not give up hope ya? we'll make it through somehow.

and on the things I missed out yesterday. hmm.. I realised I've not blogged for so long, I kinda forgot what is usually written on ones blog. lol.. then it struck me before I went to bed. What happens in the day!! wow!! retarded rite? hee :D that's Anthea pok for u la! haha..

ok, so yesterday, we were making door gifts for open house. It was funny sitting beside Dave. he is jus artistically insane. haha.. it's not the time for being artistic dude. its time for mechanical work. haha! but in the end, he got the hang of it. yupp.. like, at the end of the day. haha.. but his artistic designs were really not bad k.. just that, we cant give those away since they were not standardised! haha..

alright, I will stop here.. today, God taught me something. nursing a grudge/wound? NO!! REJECTING that LIE of the devil! argh!!! SHOOOOO!!!!! go away devil!

hehe.. okie, sorry.. later guys~

It's been such a long time!!

Hey guys! Ima back to blog again! hahaz.. sorry its been such a long time. as usual, busy with sch, life, etc etc..

Yesterday had to lead in worship. I was quite nervous and all. But God reminded me, it's about HIM, not me! Gracie poo played the guit for me. Thanks dear! ok. I shall stop thanking you (as u requested. last time, I promise! haha) ok, it was quite scary, but thank God it was ok. I dont know how I led. but oh wells, it aint about me! :)

Then, we had worship conference with COR. it was awesome! Personally, I've not felt HIS prescence fro so long although I wasnt feeling depressed or anything. probably worn out and felt far away ba. then b4 the svc, God told me to have a heart of expectancy and I believed that He would touch me. and guess what! He did! Praise the Lord!! It was so good to be in His prescence once again and just kneel before His throne of grace and cry my heart unto Him. He is so wonderful! Amen!

Today, went to subway with JM! I was not productive. haiz.. but I wont say it was a wasted afternoon la. I replied to RUYING's letter! yeah! will pass it to you tmr dear! it's gettin longer and longer =) hee.. its so nice to be in subway again.

To God be the Glory!! =)

I've got a testimony! I've got a testimony! and I HAVE TO share it!! cuz it really amazes me! :D

ok, where shall i start? alright, I'll start where all thing start. yup! the BEGINNING! haha.. ok, so I was told on sunday that I had to do scripture reading on thursday (today). yeah. I was about to freak out. then God reminded me that He wanted to teach me something in my 2 years in SA.

Anyways, I said ok, decided to prepare on wednesday since I was at a funeral then. Then I kept praying through the week cuz i was very scared. Like, really really scared. let's jus say speaking in front of my entire cohort is not something I am exactly like comfrotable with? u know, hundreds of people, speaking into a mic, reading aloud? etc etc? yeah, u get my drift.

Then, my dad reminded me, it's not about u! It's about God. Pray for the non-believers that they will understand what you read and learn from it. So, I decided to shift my focus. then i prayed over the versus and for the pple that morning. But I WAS STILL VERY SCARED.

This morning, during morning worship, Anna shared 2 verses, and they were applicable to me emotions and my thoughts at that moment! wow!! Isn't God amazing? then I rushed out of the LT to go prepare after morning worship. I was like, ok, what come may. God will use me. All I have to do is to STOP thinking about myself.

Then when I went up there, there was some guy reciting the pledge again and again. Even though I dont know him, he talked to me. he kept thinking he forgot a line of the pledge. haha.. It made me laugh.So I laxed for a while. After the actual reciting of the pledge, I was like, ok... now is the time. Breathe in, go!

So, I read from my paper. My legs were trembling la! then by the time I was reading my prayer, I felt that my whole body was trembling. All the time, my stomach felt super constricted and I was feeling super nervous. But I just did what i had to do, taking in deep breaths again and again. Ok, then I was feeling kinda down after reading it. As in, for a moment or two. Cuz I felt that I didnt succeed.

but when I went down to join my class, they said I seemed pretty confident. And msK even encouraged me. I was like so thankful la! It appears that the raging nervousness I felt inside of me didnt show much. Praise the Lord! i really hope people were really listening to the scriptures read, and I heard they understood. =)

oh ya, I left out one thing! I woke up sick! so my nose and throat was blocked the whole early morning! so, I sounded nasal (so gracie poo said :) haha.. it didnt exactly help my "confidence". haha.. but it went alright.

To God be the glory!! ~

Saturday, August 19, 2006

Praise the Lord!!

prayer really really works! amen! I was so scared and decided to pray. end result? I'm still alive! ok, mayb I sound like Im talking rubbish. but I dont wanna say exactly what happened la.. anyways, it was another miracle! Praise the Lord! =)

This weekend is super burnt. AGAIN! haiz.. so busy.. I don even think I can go for band practice today. see how ba..

Really short post today. later~

Here I am... AGAIN!!!

helloooo... can u believe it?! I'm actually blogging. AGAIN! see, miracles do happen! haha.. well, one thing I've learnt recently is, everyone has the same amount of time and work NEVER ends. really. so, it's how you priorities and MAKE TIME for things.

An example would be my kor, when he was in college and uni, he still wrote to me. I was thinking, he was definitely a thousand times more busy then me! so, how come he could send me letters and cards, and I cant even reply to my dearest RUYING's letter? haha.. then I was thinking, and I decided, I didnt reply cuz I didnt MAKE time. so, yeah.. I've decided to try to MAKE time to do things that I wanna do. Am I any free-er? NO! No doubt everyone has their skool/work responsibilities. but what happened to social responsibilities? hmm.. just the things I've been thinking about this past week la =) sorry if I sound incoherent. I'm quite tired.

anyways, moving on... know what? know what? last nite, elliot lost his skool handbook, so I was kinda looking a lil for him and also finding something else. cant rmbr what I was searching for, BUT BUT BUT, I FOUND ALL MY PLANETSHAKERS CDs!! yeah!! haha.. after losing half of them for over a year, I finally found them! praise the Lord! =) I was so happy la! haha.. that means I found all my PS Cds this month! one half found last week I think. haha.. so happy! :) Praise the Lord. my lil bro, unfortunately was not so fortunate. he could not find his handbook at all.. *gasp* haha.. Ruying, u spread ya messymessness to him rite? haha.. MUST be! :D

to U: I am super angry and kinda hurt. I bet u dont know. know what? the anger u made me feel today took my friend 7 years to make me feel that way! u took like, one month TOPS! haiz.. but I'm gonna pray about it and I know somehow I may forgive u. argh! I jus don get u, u know that! nvm.. I jus wanna let go. it's not good for me, not good for u, not good for ANYONE.

alright, now that I've got it of my chest, erm... what should I say next? oh ya! today, it rained, like STORMED all of a sudden. haha.. I was so so happy. that really made my day. the weather is truly unpredictable! =) It was so strong and the wind was so strong such that it looked like a snow storm, but when the snow has not become snow yet. know what I mean.. it reminded me of my U.S. holiday trip last year. when the snow storm was going on outside the lodge and we were inside drinking hot choco and stuff =)

oh yes! and I have one more thing to thank God for! I was put in charge of settling food for SFC tmr rite? then I was quite scared that it will be too last minute cuz we only found out on mon! but PTL!! everything was settled today, and we even got variety sia! thank God! Jana, Hui Ru and Eunice, thanks u guys! hopefully all will go well tmr! thanks again! :)

wait wait! one more! lots of blessings to count today. the week b4, Raksha lost her mp3 and she was so sad la! then I went home and prayed that she will find it. When we were chatting, she kinda said, things that have to be gone will be gone. so, yeah.. anyway, I went home and prayed for her during my quiet time! guess what?! she found it!! I'm so happy for u Rakrak! haha.. I know how it feels to lose smth. and I really dont like that feeling! take care!

Charlene: I'll be praying for u! u may not be a Christian, but if u do somehow read this. Trust in God ok? dont worry too much, and please DO take loadsa care. if need be, quickly seek help.

okies, I'm off for now.. see when the next miracle happens and I'll blog again! :)

He's jus turned 9 yrs old! haha.. well, we celebrated it yesterday. children's parties are quite fun sometimes cuz there are so many cute cute children! haha.. yesterday, dad asked me to lead in a game. well, honestly, I am always unsure of how to lead lil children in games? cuz it can be really hard to get their attention! haha.. but it turned out fine enough. dad helped me to gather the children, then I jus started to lead. They were excited and stuff, and I didnt even need to do anything! haha.. yay!

there was so much good food that mum cooked! unfortunately, I was feeling too tired and not hungry. haha.. so, jus pinch a lil food here and there, then watch tv, talk to ruying, see who else to talk to and stuff.haha.. well, SO MUCH LEFT OVER! goodness.. when it comes to cooking, I think my mum is superwoman. haha..

oh ya! and Hannah is such a cute lil darling u know! she was one of the last few to go home, so she wanted to play with me. then I played with her for a while, but had to do homework. so, I told her I have to do work. but she still wanted to follow me, so I told her: can, but cannot disturb ok? she was such a good girl la! haha.. she just asked for pen and paper, then she sat on her own and started drawing for me a picture. so sweet!! she's K2, so u can imagine her drawing.. ok ok, mayb u cant. haha.. well, it was an angel heart. u know, a heart that is an angel? yeah.. :D haha.. I was so happy. she's so cute. really! =)

And I went for piano today, not knowing its a term holiday at yamaha. haiz.. so i stood there for 20mins waiting.. then still no sign of my teacher, so decided to ask the counter. then aha! found out it was a term holiday. lol.. ok lor.. so, yeah.. in some ways, it was good timing again, cuz I have not practiced my pieces for about half a month already. haha.. I definitely must find some time to go pratice..

now, its like natural to sit in front of the piano and jus play chords and sing.. so its like, I always forget to pratice my tau gehs.. haha.. oops! hee.. =) alritey, my bro wants to use the com! ciao for now =) God bless u all!

Planetshakers "concert"!!

yeah!! Past two nites, went to expo for the planetshakers "concert". It was good! It's like u can really see the band worshiping. as in like, I jus felt it was a lil different from FOP in some sense. but I wont elaborate la. however, on the first nite, the pple behind me were like more crazy about the band then God. if u know what I mean.. but, i don wanna judge la. God sees the heart, all I hear is their SCREAMS** haha.. then on the 1st nite, met like almost all my JC2 SFC seniors. They were like, in front of me. so, said hi and all that.

Last nite, went with Rung and Ruying. haha! Rung: I admit I am rather easily amused, but u ARE funny! haha.. seriously, I never knew that fruits MUST have seeds! haha.. but I am sure seedless grapes are fruits! :D hee.. then last nite, the preacher was very funny. but overall, I prefered the 1st nite's preacher. somehow, I kept praying throughout the thing that pple will come to know God.

when I looked around, I saw quite a number of malays. I was so happy! it's like, what great oppotunity!! I hope they enjoyed it, and I pray many gave their lives to Him.. okok, I gtg le. gotta go church soon.

Air Pistolling!

YEAH!!!!! I never knew air pistolling would be so fun! haha.. yeah! I passed! haha.. ok la.. many people also passed. and those who didnt, it could have been a problem with the pistol also la. Cuz there was one pistol that was like super super OFF one la. haha.. and one of the triggers even got 'blown off'. I have no idea how it happened.

Well, my arm was aching like mad by the time the 10th shot was to be done. but yay! I can still feel my arms! haha.. It was nice.. Ok, comparing it with the one I got to shoot once in US, it is a totally different experience! In US, I was shooting a rotten orange in uncle mike's fron yard! haha.. It was so fun! like, a REAL pistol with a REAL bullet! lol.. this time, although it was only lead pallets thing, it was still quite fun. there was no deafening sound when we clicked the trigger, so, no worries about that. haha.. =) yeah.. but the good thing about the air pistol is that there is no recoil. hee =D I know i know, mayb I'm jus plain lousy,.. haha.. but oh wells.. I'm a beginner! =) spare me! haha..

I was just reflecting how different the settings in US and sg are. US, I was shooting in the open, no other accessory besides the ear muffler thing and the pistol. SIngapore? We had the air pistol, a table top, a target board thingy, air conditioned room, chairs to sit on behind for theory part of lesson and we didnt even need the ear muffler thing. haha.. US was so close to nature, I loved that. yet, in singapore, despite all the "comfort" of that confined space, it rocked la!! haha.., :D

okie.. I didnt expect this update to come so soon.. but I thought, since I'm here, I might as well do it.. when I can still rmbr how I felt during the thing, might as well blog about it rite now.. haha.. okie okie.. I'm SUPER tired. was tired since the moment I woke up this morning. haiz.. haha.. so so so so tired..

last paper on tues. thank God for my SUPER NICE math tutor. she's meeting me on monday for me to consult her.. so nice rite? haha.. I hope to clear ALL my doubts which by now, is almost everything! ahhH!!! save me! okie.. wish me all the best for my math paper.. It is suppose to be a subject I can score at. NOTE: SUPPOSE to be.. SUPPOSE.. haha.. :D

Thailand mission trip 2006

Yup! as many of you know, I went for a Thailand mission trip! It was AWESOME!! well, I will post what I wrote for my essay that I handed in for rangers. haha.. Cuz I'm a lil lazy to repeat the whole thing. so, yeah.. the following is my essay.. read on! =)
As a group representing Bethel Royal Rangers outpost number 1, we went to Chiang Rai for a mission trip from 16th June to 21st June 2006. God is good and He blessed us with a safe and quick journey from Singapore to Chiang Mai airport and from there to Chiang Rai. The van ride from the airport to Blessings church was approximately three hours. It was a good time to take short naps, take pictures of the beautiful scenery, and reflection.
Through out the trip, we had to travel around a lot. The first day was spent on buying of our logistics from Macro. The snacks there were so cheap; we all could not resist buying! We bought chocolates and sweets that we estimated would last us for the next five days or more. These did not come on a packet or two but boxes! So each of us bought some snacks each while looking out for the logistics for craft as well. The girls then decided that the craft we had initially planned needed to be scraped as we could not find the materials we wanted. So, we improvised! We decided to decorate cups and mini bottles instead of wristbands. The children in the various villages enjoyed it when we taught them how to decorate it and they made such lovely decorated cups too! We also bought balloons that could be twisted into shapes for the children. That was our back up craft that we had in mind.
Thank God the children had fun decorating their own little cups and also putting on the balloon hats that some of the commanders made. At Ayo Village, many children put the balloons in their mouths and ‘tasted’ them. It was a good thing none of them bit it till it burst. At least I did not see anything of that sort occurring. It was nice seeing the children having so much fun with the balloons and just playing with it in their different ways.
Next, it was amazing how the language barrier was overcome through the use of body language and hand signals. One thing I learnt was that a smile is a language that does not need to be taught. It does not matter if you smile at a child or an adult; they all reply you with a smile. In my opinion, a smile is an expression of friendliness and approachability. When I smiled at the children, they started opening up and smiled to me whenever they saw me for the rest of the day. Their smiles never fail to amuse me and bring warmth to my heart. Despite the simplicity of their lives, you can see the joy on their faces and in their eyes.
I really thank God for the children and how wonderful they are. One thing they taught me was the heart of worship. Looking at the simple way they worship and sing their hearts out to God, it really touched my heart. God reminded me that He does not look at our physical appearance but He looks at our hearts. When I saw a little boy about the age of two singing his heart out to God, it moved me and I was tearing. You could really see the Holy Spirit moving by looking at how the orphans were worshipping God wholeheartedly. I have never seen such pure and innocent love and worship unto God. So this is what it means to have childlike faith.
God is so so good! Through out the entire trip He watched over us. I remember how we were playing games and He provided such good sunny weather. Just when we finished our games and finished giving out the goody bags, it started to rain. What great timing! God is so good. The weather through out the trip was wonderful. It was never too hot or too cold. He sent sufficient sunshine and rain. And at all the perfect times too! I remember the sound of the heavy rain approaching during debrief at the end of the day. It was like the sound of a waterfall. Soon the heavy rain came down. It was so refreshing!
I am really grateful to have been given the opportunity to go for this mission trip. Really thank God for all the wonderful people who planned this trip for us too. This trip has taught me a lot and has opened my eyes to a lot of things. Really thank God for being with us and leading and guiding us. It would be good to go every year! =) Praise the Lord!

Leaders' Retreat 2006

It was such a wonderful time being found in the prescence of God once again and just letting Him speak in you life through all the sessions and His word. It was amazing..sometimes, when you are in His prescence, you just forget all that's around you and you feel His wonderful love. It's such a wonderful feeling..
some people dont believe in God cuz they cant see Him. well, if someone touches your heart and is always there for you. If someone is always a conforter, ever forgiving and loving. It is hard to reject Him and say He's not real. Dont you agree? some may say 'but God has never touched my life. so why should I believe Him?' Well, did you allow Him in the first place? God is a God of love, and not a God of force. He gives us the free will to choose. He does not force us to love Him. He just loves us unconditionally and waits for us to reciprocate that love.
I really thank God for the leaders retreat. Pastor Danny was such a blessing and he is such an annointed speaker who is so lead by the spirit. He has shared so much and prophecied so much. My prayer is that one day I'll experience what it is like to be THAT close and in tuned with the Holy Spirit. It is such a wonderful thing to see what is being done in auzzie alone. If that could happen in Singapore? WhhhOOO!!!! We'll be on FIRE. I earnestly pray that day will come. well, Christians, lets all pray and interceed for our generation! :)

haiz..

gonna get scolded by her again tmr.. I am bracing myself. but somehow, we are never ever prepared are we? there is always something we missed, something we did not forsee, something that is lacking. haiz.. anyways, the comfort lies in the fact that God is in control.
These few days are a bit.. erm.. down.. yeah.. wont elaborate.. Well, let's just unite in prayer that all who need comfort are comforted, and all who need love will be loved. yeah?
ok, besides that, all other things have been ok.. God granted me the desires of my heart 3 times this week! haha.. to be exact, almost 5. haha.. anyway, they were very small things, but it really made my day. or should I say, days. haha.. and thanks to all the wonderful pple who were there with words of comfort and encouragement. I really appreciate it. =)

Project work

yeah! yesterday we had our very first pw meeting at my place. PTL! it was good! we did not really progress in terms of our GPP. but we had time to help each other with our idividual PIs and to refine to one that we chose to do as our group PI. I think it is really cool that our group could jus click like that. haha.. looks like all our fears, or rather, all their fears are unheard of now. hahaha.. =) thank God.

Hamidah: now u have a new found friend! haha.. :D
YiJie: haha.. so so so so sorry I got you so lost.. :D
Nicole and charlene: glade to have u gals over. :D

yupps.. that's about all I wanna say.. will update again another time.. :) happy labour day everyone! now I've gotta eat and start labouring academically. lol..
