Hi world, I am busy being busy with what I like to be busy with. And I seem to associate blogging with exam period more thus I have MIAed in this space cause it's HOLIDAYS NOW.

I photoshopped a series of photos and made it into a calender and the above is one of the pictures, and I love it TONS! And the quote really speaks to me. so I love it even more! And it's a SQ Airplane which makes me feel really patriotic/loyal to my country, so I love it x3! hahaha.

P.S God, I want to love You more. =)

A very extremely good morning to all. I have intentions to stay up and study and yes it's a crazy idea, yet I still do it ever since it's introduction in secondary school. I'm desperate for time! (which I have wasted some a while back, and maybe wasting now right here...)

I'm excited about my coming holidays (I know it's still early to talk about it but it's a good motivation for me to study =P), because for the first time, I have NO homework, NO full-time job (only a part-time job, which means I still have sufficient allowance, plus more time to do something useful), MORE time, and my office is few bus stops down church! Gave some thoughts to what I've in mind for this coming holidays and now thinking about it, I should go pray and ask God about it as well. My plans may be good, but He may have better plans that I didn't think of! =)

Grace asked me today, "so what is your purpose?", I didn't expected it and for a moment, I didn't know how to answer... I just told her, I didn't know, it wasn't explicit from God, but then later, I thought I may have forgotten it. This is a call for me to go seek and ask God again. God is not a hide-and-seek god, He is a seek and find God!

Jeremiah 29:13
"13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."

This is like one of my favourite scripture (and thus one of my favourite song "I Will Search"). It's not because He isn't speaking that we are not hearing anything from Him, but rather, we are not listening or seeking enough. God should not be just a supplement or a good thing in my life. He is the source of my life, like how I need oxygen to live.

Here's one more very good website for christian resources:
click here

It's sermon notes by Rev Raymond Woodward and they are really good! (note to self: I need to expand my vocab and find more words that describe 'good') I read some today (cause Joyce so kindly printed them for me), and they were really (I just realise how I can describe this feeling with...) like how this scripture puts it:

Hebrews 4:12-13
"12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."

Writing or speaking (or even plain talking) has never been THE THING for me, I always brush it aside and accepted my lack of proficiency in expressing myself. However, I think I can do better, this two are still mostly the main ways of communication, why should I take like a roundabout way just to express a single idea when maybe I could articulate it simply yet powerfully in a single sentence? (though that does comes with age and wisdom, but still, I don't have 20 years down the road, so I should just tap on God's wisdom that's there for us if we seek after it right now.)

I'm 19 and just when I'm finally getting used to being 19, in about 2 months plus plus, I am turning 20. NO! Hello bullet train of life! TOO FAST! Trying to comfort myself, here's what Morris from "Tuesdays with Morris" said:

"People are afraid of getting old because they haven't found a meaning in their life."
"It's because this society worships the youth"
"I am not afraid of being old, it's not deteriorationg, it's progress."
"There's a time for me to be 22 and 78 and now it's my time to be 78."

Yet again, all this can amount to nothing if it's just all talk and no action. Talking about action, looking at the time right now, it's time I get into action too! Writing all these here is just to voice my thoughts. I think I can talk on forever if someone can listen forever, which is not possible... I'm still a blue. =)

Time to fly!

2009-10-23T13:50:00.008+08:00

I am back again before I go hit the books again... Just when I was going to go browse the internet wasting my time, which can probably amount to the next few hours, I came across this:

"Obedience when no one is watching comes before obedience in public. And I’m talking about obedience that’s hard. Obedience that costs you something. That is why you can’t fake hard things, and that is why small hard things always come before big hard things. "

Excerpt from "You Can't Fake Hard Things"

One thing is for sure, God is watching even when no human is around... I'm not doing anything that is exactly detrimental or anyway illegal, it's just that I seriously have better things to do.

2009-10-22T21:58:00.003+08:00

Final words, before I pack up and get ready to return to the comforts of my own home. It is finally 10pm and I bid farewell to my second house - my office. Remembering in August and September, I was still busy everyday but enjoying it, running around (almost literally travelling the entire Singapore island, as I travel from home - Pasir Ris to office - Bugis then to school - Clementi and back again), and now, though I'm not considered exactly not busy, but it is just home, office, home office, home office and so on... No wonder I dread my everydays! This explains why I've been reading so much things online, because it is really dreadful to start and end my everyday with just studying, though beneficial.

Civilisation seems far away, cause I hardly talk much to anyone since I feel comfortable enough to just stay in my own corner in my office.

Now I know what to do! In a bid to make my studying break life more exciting and still resist the temptations of feeding myself junk, I shall blog more, read more (good stuff, which includes THE BIBLE), pray more, and other miscellaneous stuff that I can think of later.

Reminders to self:
#1 priority of the day is to get connected with God
Praying is not just praying but communicating with God

Hard thing #2 wasn't very much successful but still more successful than usual, so here comes hard thing #3 - I shall go to bed and lie there and read my textbook till I sleep. Yes, I can do this.
(I can seriously feel the resistance and screams of my flesh for more brainless and satisfying activity)

ok! I CAN DO THIS!

God Bless. =)

2009-10-22T16:31:00.002+08:00

This is all soo true. My number 1 time-waster is surf internet, yes and my "hobby" of online movie/drama/cartoon/anime streaming...

And "according to a study released by Forbes Magazine the typical television viewer fritters away three years of his life being bombarded with commercials."

I don't even watch commercials! ok, the years I have wasted is probably beyond 3... Now I'm going back to work, and shall stay sitted, and focus on studying till like late. HARD thing #2! And I shall continue to read materials that actually nourishes my mind than feeding it junk...

2009-10-22T16:24:00.004+08:00

Our appetites are very much shaped by what we satisfy them with. If wealways drink a Coke when we’re thirsty, what we will start longing for when we’re thirsty? Coke. If we always eat cheese puffs when we’re hungry, what wewill start longing for when we’re hungry? Cheese puffs. In the same way, if we always surf the Internet when we’re bored, what will we start longing for when we’re bored? Surfing the Internet.

You see, we don’t get nourished, we just satisfy the feelings of boredom. But that just makes our minds more hungry,so we surf the internet a little bit longer next time (maybe a little bit deeper too). We’re constantly ruining our appetite for activities that grow godly character and competence, and then we wonder why they seem “boring” or“uninteresting” to us.

This is a call for action. It’s a crisis and an opportunity. A crisis, because we cannot afford to continue appeasing our mind with junk food. An opportunity, because by guarding what we feed our mind when we are bored, we can shape its appetite to long for what strengthens and nourishes it. The more we do that, the more we will enjoy completing our God-given responsibilities and the more great things we will accomplish.

Excerpt from "Bored? Read this!"

2009-10-22T16:12:00.006+08:00

They might seem harmless — the book we’ve already read, the online forum or message board where we “reach out,” the 5-minute video we found online, the new World Magazine comic section, the video game that’s fun and clean, a review of the latest star-studded flick, or that article on Google News about the kitten with two heads.

Harmless? Not at all. The price is the character that might have been and the competence that would have been. If we were to devote all the time we spend reading random news stories online to reading life-changing, soul-feeding books, how might our relationship with Christ flourish?

If we were to devote all the time we spend watching television to developing our talents in the areas of writing, speaking, musical instruments, filmmaking, painting, sewing, gardening, woodworking, web design, landscaping, computer programming, etc. how much more effective might we be in the Kingdom of God?

Excerpt from "Stop Wasting Time"

2009-10-21T17:30:00.007+08:00

I have been reading alot lately, and my reading materials span is extreme varieties. I'm just reading stufff... Reading some stuff is really a waste of time, but I'm feeling like a massive information absorbing machine of some sort, and just reading on and on random stuff, whether they are seriously beneficial or not.

On a good note, I did read useful stuff too, that is thought-provoking and makes me react with my "ahhhh-ing". I can say, the christian articles I have read can be really convicting yet I have allowed them to just brush off. It's just a "argh" moment then I move on doing what I am doing.

2 really GOOD websites for christian articles/forums/etc

The Rebelution

Heard about the rebelution website from Grace and checked it out, and it's really good! And I totally agree with whatever they are writing about on the site, regarding how teenagers nowadays are falling way short of what they can do, and that we have treated "adolescence" as a vacation from responsibilities. The Rebelution is basically about teenagers rebelling against low expectations. In their own words, "rebelling against rebellion", which I think is really cool. Their vision is also to encourage teenagers everywhere "to do hard things", which thinking about it, is really great, yet, HARD! (yes that's the whole point, doing hard things) It's about challenging ourselves and going against society's low expectations for youths.

It's crazy. I think we all have a rooted mentality that you know we'll all gonna be this great person doing great things especially for God when we grow up. And well, I do dream alot, but I'm 19! And I'm considered grown up, considering I have a part-time job, am attending university and have an IC. I'm grown up enough...

Honestly, I do feel indignant somehow, because the people that started this website are the same age as me! Reading what they are doing and what I am doing... It's like ?!?!?! I'm not saying that I want to go preach to crowds of thousands or hold conferences like them, that is totally beyond me, but yes, I can do more than what I am doing right now. I shall be "provoked to good works" and be provoked more.

Guilty of being a sloth, seriously addicted to media, and a lack of self-discipline, my number one HARD thing is being a good manager of time. ok, and that is SERIOUSLY HARD... to begin with, the hard thing to do today shall be to go to bed when I reach home. (it's ridiculous why I'm even struggling with this, I knoww...)

If you haven't check out the website, fyi, it's started by the twin brothers of Joshua Harris, the guy who wrote "I Kiss Dating Goodbye". They are 19 and have written the book "Do Hard Things" (if I'm not wrong that's their first book and they have another book coming up), they have held conferences and go on radio stations for interviews or some sort of morning talk show. And that is all so cool!

Ninety and Nine

I chanced upon this website while googling. It's more of a weekly online newsletter, has some really good articles and it's also apostolic! It's really really cool I think to read and see names of people you know coming up. It makes me go, "AH I KNOW THIS PERSON!" They recently had an interview with Bro John Wolfram, one of our preacher for LTD 07, who was also an US Navy SEAL.

They also welcome submissions of articles, so all those who love to write and have a story/testimony to tell, go submit your article!

I'm not a fantastic writer, in fact I tend to ramble more on incoherent thoughts that run through my mind, so this is my small attempt at writing properly. There is more things to write about, but I shall stop for now and return to my textbooks!

God bless.

Bought a recipe book recently titled "Brunches"
when I first laid my eyes on the book, i immediately felt the connection! LOL!!!
cause I don't eat breakfast, nor do I eat lunch.
I have brunches everyday!!!

the book is SO ME. just got to have it! =DDD
plus, the ingredients inside were easy to get, like almost most of them are already in my fridge so I just have to take them out and cook. No need to purposely go buy them. Very suitable for lazy people like me... heh.

The above picture is an ideal brunch! =D
It's baked eggs with cheese.

There's bread and ham with the eggs and the top is layered with cheese. =)))
And brunches wouldn't be a balance meal without fruits or veg,
so I made banana milkshake!

I LOVE BANANA MILKSHAKE!

(my school mates can testify! LOL! =D)

the only problem with the meal (in the picture) that I had,

was that I ate it at 8pm.

sooooo... it's ideal brunch at a totally not brunch time. LOL.

so it's dunch?

I made friends in school that loves to cook and bake.

(and this is the number I dunno what time I'm saying this... =))

Their cooking is totally is a level higher than me. hahaha.

that made me wanna cook and bake more! lol.

2009-08-27T00:24:00.003+08:00

I finally found out the original song of the instrumental piece I have been listening to since forever!
I listen it in my office almost everyday (and I only play 2 songs on repeat) and nowadays I play it before I sleep cause it helps me sleep!
I listen to it when I have headaches too. and it helps. hahahaha.

but after listening to the original singing version. I still think the instrumental is nicer.
=D

Here's the original singing version:

Here's the instrumental version:

Who here among us has not been broken
Who here among us is without guilt or pain
So oft’ abandoned by our transgressions
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

There are no strangers
There are no outcasts
There are no orphans of God
So many fallen, but hallelujah
There are no orphans of God

Come ye unwanted and find affection
Come all ye weary, come and lay down your head
Come ye unworthy, you are my brother
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

O blessed Father, look down upon us
We are Your children, we need Your love
We run before Your throne of mercy
And seek Your face to rise above

2009-08-17T00:21:00.003+08:00

This excerpt is just for fun:

And just when I was thinking, being a photographer and a baker is such a weird combination, but I guess somehow, they can still be linked together. HAHA

"Modern photography is as diverse as the bakery selections at Panera - and just as much fun to indulge in. But where the bakery goods can make you plump, photography can make you prosperous."

HAHAHA. =DDD
soooo, I'll get plump and prosperous? LOL. they kind of can mean the same thing...
NO! I'M GOING TO EXERCISE! LIKE SERIOUSLY!
(going for my 4th jog this yr! hahaha record breaking!) LOL.

I am wanting to blog abt LTD, put some photos or something at the same time, but haven't get to sit down and do it exactly yet. I think the more I wait the lower the chances of me doing it.
sooo arrrr, SEE HOW la.

just thinking:
what does being an entrepreneur for God exactly mean...

2009-06-12T00:52:00.002+08:00

Many a question, many a fear,
Many a doubt hath its quieting here.
Moment by moment, let down from heaven,
Time, opportunity, guidance are given.
Fear not tomorrows, child of the King -
Trust them with Jesus. Do the next thing!

From the book "Secure in the Everlasting Arms"
by Elizabeth Elliot.

and I guess my next thing to do is to sleep.

Hymn - Brooke Fraser

Hymn - Brooke Fraser

If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would you find and firm and gather 'til I only dwell in Thee?
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after
'Til I only dwell in Thee

[INSTRUMENTAL]

If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision 'til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
'Til I only dwell in Thee

haha. good nonetheless.
It's CHEESECAKE!

My first and so far only successful attempt at cooking.
HAHA. Veggie Curry.
I think it's nice.
I finished the whole thing by myself,
cause everyone else in the house were getting too heaty.
haha, and maybe cause too spicy.
I added 2 cut chilli padi with all the seeds thrown in also.
Hot and shiok. HAHA

These are the times I wish I have a good camera, then there would be fantastic, saliva-inducing photos of my food. HAHA.
I'm gonna roast chicken with Cornelius!

Love Is Not A Fight (acoustic version) - Warren Barfield

Love Is Not A Fight - Warren Barfield

Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It's a house we answer in
Then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
We'll work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word
That they can fall into
But when they're falling out
Keeping that word is hard to do

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us
But demand we give our all

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?
It's worth fighting for

2009-04-25T03:29:00.002+08:00

I WANT TO MAKE A FONDANT CAKE!!!!

THE WONG AND YONG ADVENTURES.

(sorry no photos cause me and wong were busy eating. and it was very messy. lol)

so. Today's adventure.
Me and Wong travelled to land of Vivo and being very hungry people, we decided we want to eat for fun, play play only, but also want to eat properly.
so. we tried the "make your own pita-bread sandwich" kind of dinner.
Our pita-bread combination plus overall dinner was pretty interesting.
It was a "balanced" meal.
We had carbo from pita-bread.
Meat from picnic ham (bought 400g)
Vegetables from red and yellow capsicum ($1!!!!)
Some olive oil sauce that wong chose.
Drinks - Fruit Punch.
hahahaha plus. after meal fruits: DURIAN.
LOL.

IT WAS SUPER DUPER MESSY SUPER DUPER MESSY.
and yes, wong's eating was disgusting. HAHAHAHAHA.
ok la. kidding. this kind of eating can only be seen by BFFs. LOL.
and cause it was olive oil sauce, and u know olive oil is like liquid and liquid erm doesn't really stick to your food as fast as usual sauces...
sooo... ya. er. i leave it to your imaginations.
HAHA.
but our sandwiches tasted good.
after 2 pita-breads, we were exploding.
however, in the case of durian. there's always space. hahaha.
sooooo... today's dinner was nonsense. but filling.

for more wong & yong adventures - coming soonnnn: Adventures to the West.

(this is totally nonsense and seriously lame. but yet worth chronicl-ing. and maybe you are totally lamed out but i tell u it was really fun! hahahaha)

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
2. Dear God, I have a problem, it's me.
3. Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional..
4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted .
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9.. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11.. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13.. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

(another thing I kope from facebook too! and I love this kind of phrases kind of thing. I know u understand what I mean. hahaha but it's 2nd to God's Word! haha I LIKE!)

2009-03-06T00:19:00.001+08:00

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer
and Lazarus was dead!

No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential.
Besides, YOU aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

(sth I kope from facebook too and Bro Stoneking also said during DCD and I LIKE!)

2009-03-06T00:16:00.000+08:00

God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.

(just sth i kope from facebook and I LIKE!)

For The Sake Of The Call - Avalon

Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
He said, Come, follow me
And they came
With reckless abandon they came

Empty nets lying there at the water's edge
Told a story that few could believe and none could explain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call

Drawn like rivers are drawn to the sea
no turning back for the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call we'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
Because He has called us to go we will answer

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who calls
And if we believe we'll obey

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call

God is not a hide-and-seek god,
He is a seek and find God.

Bishop Willoughby

2009-03-02T22:20:00.001+08:00

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

2009-02-28T19:52:00.002+08:00

something I drew in my journal which was something that Sis Marv shared during worship.
which I got reminded of from one verse that was in Sis Grace's preaching ytd:

Psalm 94:18
If I say, "My foot slips,"
Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.

2009-02-26T20:28:00.002+08:00

Why Jesus is Better Than Santa Claus

By Rev. James Spellman of Ohio

*Santa lives at the North Pole... JESUS is everywhere.

*Santa rides in a sleigh... JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

*Santa comes but once a year... JESUS is an ever present help.

*Santa fills your stockings with goodies... JESUS supplies all your needs.

*You have to wait in line to see Santa... JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

*Santa lets you sit on his lap... JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

*Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?"... JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our head.

*Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly... JESUS has a heart full of love.

*All Santa can offer is HO HO HO... JESUS offers health, help and hope.

*Santa says "You better not cry"... JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

*Santa's little helpers make toys... JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

*Santa may make you chuckle but...JESUS gives you a joy that is your strength.

*While Santa puts gifts under your tree... JESUS became our gift and died on the tree, which is the cross.

Its obvious there is really no comparison! Jesus is still the reason for the season. Yes, Jesus is better, he is even better than Santa Claus.

(something bloh shared during carolling.)
(i found this online.)

deep calleth unto the deep.

a deeper level with God.
a greater passion
a more intense hunger
I want.

If I would run, it's not away from You or away from reality,
let it not be so anymore,
let it be a pursuit after You.

Reality is not harsh and it is not full of trouble or problems as the world paints it.
Reality is where Jesus is.
For HE IS REAL.
All of this is not just what I dream of or conjured up in my mind; for
I've seen His works
I've tasted His goodness
I've experienced His overwhelming love
I've dwelled in His presence
=)
so I know.
I know You are REAL.
and I know You love me.
and I know You see me more than what I am right now.
=DDD

now that we are back.
it's time, we live this reality. =)
Live the culture of Christ.

"Then you will call upon Me ad go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity."
Jeremiah 29:12-14

2008-10-18T23:35:00.004+08:00

I think I talk more nonsense than I talk sense.
hmmm.
and yes, I have finally decided to agree with many that it's finally time that I grow up and behave more like 18 and soon to be 19. (random but just that this has been in my mind for a while)
hur. =)

More challenges to come! (after I CONQUER the one that starts with 'A' right in front of me)
But all the more opportunities to show GOD'S GLORY!
Like the quote I saw in the powerpoint shown in MORNING PRAYER
(which is REALLLLYYY REALLLYYY TIME I GET MY SLEEPING TIME IN CHECKKK!!!! AND ALSO WAKING UPPPP TIMEEE!!! WHICH MEANS I'LL BE ASLEEP IN 20 MINS!!!)

Not for tasks equilvalent to my strength but for Your strength that empowers me in my tasks!

I wanted to blog that I shall be a giraffe now then a koala bear after As ('cause they sleep 2 hrs and 19hrs respectively) some days back. (haha)

WAH.

Farewell Assembly performances/videos were really nice! And Math Dept's video is the one that made me laugh the most most...

Maybe eating in canteen isn't so bad,
quite dumb and super AA.
gosh.
we'll be bringing a pot, the electrical thing to cook food over, and there's bags of food in my fridge now... Plus utensils, plates, blah blah blah, a group of 13 girls and a boy.

2008-10-08T22:36:00.002+08:00

I wanted to find a photo that maybe possibly describes my mood right now. But I didn't managed to find one, or maybe my mood's too complicated! =DDD

I think I kope this picture from Miriam's blog or someone else's blog, so now I'm pasting it on mine!

TO ALL DEAREST A-LEVELS FRIENDS!
YES WE CAN DO IT!

This picture make me feel so like a feminist. Like hey-i'm-macho-too, don't-look-down-on-me-cause-i'm-female kind of attitude. But no, i'm not against any guys in particularly. haha.
And this reminds me all about women's rights/gender roles/blah blah blah in GP which is a topic I am more inclined to be fond of.

A conversation with my classmates today:
A: "A level is my boyfriend!"
B: "I'm going to divorce him soon..."
C: "I'm going to divorce him soon too!"
C: "No, I won't even marry."
B: "Wrong choice."

Hi A levels, I'm going to embrace you so much right now until I'll think of you night and day and even dream of you in my sleep. But I'll bid you farewell for the whole of eternity in exactly 1 month and 4 days!!! no. I won't even say bye! I'll just leave! =P

woooo... and 2 years just past like that.
ok, I learnt something. Photography!
hahaha...

back to embracing A levels!

2008-10-05T21:19:00.002+08:00

at this rate, i'll just go crazy, or just
dehydrate from the amount of crying...

i don't want to go school.

yes. I'm still alive and
I shall not continue to emo.
hur.

2008-09-22T18:57:00.004+08:00

wah seh.
Yahoo has a start wearing purple website.
LOL.
The website is purple, everything inside is about the colour purple.
wah. purple paradise. LOL.
ok and the shade of purple of the site is my fav shade!
...
haha. but i think you all will puke,
cause I think my love for purple has made many hate it.

ironically also, I don't even have any purple clothes!
though, I have alot of other purple things.
haha.

ok, but I think my love for purple isn't so extreme now,
and my food season of ba chor mee and oreo ice blended
has gradually die away...
so sad.

maybe i'll like something new!
till then, i shall stay in moderation...
hopefully.

2008-09-17T17:52:00.008+08:00

2008-09-14T21:31:00.004+08:00

Here's my FIRST and definitely not my last PHOTO DEDICATION!!!
to my dearest dearest friends! =DDD
ok, doesn't mean you are not in the photo then you are not dear to me!
I'll dedicate you one next time! (muahahahaha... *evil laughter*)

It was a relative torturous experience taking this photo, cause I dunno how to get them to laugh!!! But they were so cooperative and told each other lame jokes. -.- Didn't seem to turn out too bad? COMMENTS APPRECIATED! stranger or no stranger. Or if you think I over-photoshopped this. Or even under-photoshopped!?!? (HAHAHAHA)

This is taken soooo long time ago, so it seems pretty random that I upload now, but ok so just take it that I'm being random! yeah!

be sure to catch more photo dedications! hoho.
esp after I finish my A levels. Maybe I'll go crazy shooting photos and playing around with photoshop. Since my laptop now has space for me to store photos (YESSSSSS!!!) and I have a hard disk to store even even even MOREEEE!!!!

yeahh... this is so shiok for me.
that's all for now! BYE!

2008-09-06T17:32:00.002+08:00

I throw myself on extreme sides of a balance.
hur.

2008-08-29T00:48:00.003+08:00

There's a peace i've come to know
though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an echo in my soul
I can sing, It is well

Jesus, has overcome
and the grave is overwelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow,
No more pain
I will rise, on Eagle's wings
Before my God, fall on my kness, and rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
when the darkness breaks to light
and the shadow's disappear
and my faith shall be my eye's

Jesus, has overcome
and the grave is overwelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow,
No more pain
I will rise, on Eagle's wings
Before my God, fall on my knees, and rise
I will rise

And i hear the voice of many angels sing
Worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the cry of every longing heart
Worthy is the Lamb

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow,
No more pain
I will rise, on Eagle's wings
Before my God, fall on my knees, and rise
I will rise

I left a part of me in Egypt, while the other half is trying to head to the land of Canaan.

there are somethings I didn't let go; somethings that I wouldn't let go...

somethings I didn't want to sacrifice.

I wanted the best of both worlds.

made myself feel really horrible; miserable this week.

deluding myself.

I really wanted to give up; let go and just forsake it all.

but I couldn't bring myself to...

We won't change until the pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of change.

and I honestly have enough,

if I continue on like this, I'll just walk myself away from everything.

but no. I will not. I must not. and I refuse to.

there are dreams to be fulfilled,
destiny to be reached,

battles to be truimphed,

and the greatest adventure that awaits.

let faith be my eyes.

I am going to Canaan.

and I am not going to die in the wilderness.

Lord, take the wheel.

my blog has entered a stage of non-existence. -.-

and this week I actually succeeded not coming online for so long!

pretty long!
and i'm only online now cause I want to do my GP research!

*pat myself on the back*

I forsee the death of my blog in days to come.

lol. and I'll soon be back to resurrect it once I triumphed from my exams!

hoho.

and yes, i will work very very very harrrddddddd...

lol. For Michael Phelps, he eats, sleeps and swims.

(but no I won't eat the way he does... He consumes 12,000 calories a day!!!)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2008-07-17T23:25:00.002+08:00

haha...

okkkkk...
THIS IS WOAHHHHHHH.
some may understand.
seriously, no words can do justice to whatever that is happening.
even 'explosive' dun seem explosive enough.
haha. if you know wht I'm talking abt.
hoho. =DDD

I'M EXCITTEEEDDDDD!!!

2008-07-13T23:29:00.001+08:00

none but You Jesus.
no one else but You.

2008-07-10T19:36:00.002+08:00

I have 2 things to blog about, actually I think 3. lol. eh, no maybe 4. I'll just crap...

Firstly, today I had my first PE lesson after june hols, so it's time to take height & weight again! haha. I was quite looking forward, cause I think I should have lost some weight and I did! =DDD
1 or 2 kg. yeahhh... It's a good thing, cause I have been over-eating and i was seriously getting heavier and ahhhh rounder! soooo... yeahhh I lost weight! =DDD

annnddddd, I am still on my growing schedule! =D sometime ago, I decided that 160cm will be a good height to stop at, soooo, if I grow 1cm every year, by 21, I'll be 160cm tall. =) soooo I'm glad to announce that I did not stop at 156cm! I am now 157cm! hahahahaha... yaaaa I knowwww, I'm not veryyyy tall, quite short actuallyyy, but nvm. It doesn't really bother me. haha. I am living in self-denial, most of the time I don't realise how short I am cause I feel quite tall at home! (cause everyone else is just as short, or shorter. hahaha)

Also, today we get to know which game electives we are in for PE this term, and I'm happy cause I get to do rock climbing! =D maybe abseiling too! hoho.

thennnn, honestly, the rest of today I was not in the best of mood... I wasn't upset or anything like that, just quite sian. My timetable this term has been the longest of all the other timetables I got so far... and I really feel like whining and complaining a whole lot because of it, but I think I managed to keep my mouth shut. comparing to some classes that ends 505 everyday, I'm already better off, at least some days I end earlier. And I heard other JCs are having extra lessons until 6+/7+... hur hur...

and thus, my nightmare has finally arrived. It's books and books and books from now onn...
but on a good and optimistic note, my dream will come when I've endured the nightmare.
haha. =) yeahh, it's applicable! =D

sooooo after my nightmarish A levels, my (short term) dream is just to do anything and everything else except touch my textbooks during my 6 months holidays!!! anndddd I shall never ever ever ever ever ever come in contact with maths againnnn. I shall refrain from answering any form of maths question even if it's 1+1. ok I'm kidding, maybe I'll answer you if it's 1+1.

andddd I shall go to thailand for holiday, and shop like crazy and eat very shiok food! thenn I will have all the time and permission to go church as much as I want, and I'll have time to go learn photoshop and lighting. thenn, I'll have time to play around with photography and learn how to bake/cook/sew...

okkkk... my 'planned' activities are so exciting. lol. ok, but before alllll thattttt I'll have to endure the nightmare first!!! yeahhh! altho I think I seriously screwed up my mid years, I seriously don't think I'll pass anything, but nvm, all is not lost. I shall work hard from now on. hahhhhh...
alrightttttt, a lvls here I comeeeeeeee!!!!!!! =DDD

2008-07-05T21:37:00.003+08:00

Random photos, since we were sec 2 till now.

We really changed alot! =D

for the better of course!

definitely for the better.

I love you all too! =DDD

(post 'inspired' by wen's BFF post)

p.s I was seriously up to no good. Hahahaha...

but ehhhh... you all look fine in the photos! so no harm done.

yeahhhh...

2008-06-30T16:36:00.004+08:00

Just a random picture that I took, but the words does mean alot.

I'm just thinking... I can't really put my thoughts into words but it's just that I have come to the realisation of how great is my God. How mighty and awesome and wonderful. Just how much He desires to be with each and every single one of us! That means you! (whoever you are, that's reading this. Doesn't even matter if you are christian or not. )

Sometimes, when we just don't seem to feel the presence of God anymore, we reduced Him to a mere man and think that like man, He could have walked away. That's not true, not true at all. On the contrary, we might be the ones that have walked away... God is like oxygen in the air, He's everywhere, He's there even when we don't see it when we don't feel it, and like oxygen, we need Him to stay alive.

It is so cliche to hear from lovers/boyfriend girlfriend/or whatever you call it these days, of how they wish time would stop, how it feels like eternity when they are together. Tell you a better deal, when we are finally with Jesus in heaven, time don't even EXIST! and the best part! It doesn't even have to 'feel' like eternity at all because it is REALLY ETERNITY! No one can love you more than the way God do, not even your spouse, your boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend, mother or father or whoever else.

God, You are truly mighty.

I love you God.

I really do.

2008-06-24T17:03:00.002+08:00

hah!
ok. I'm here yet again.
not to psycho myself this time, but to ramble random noises
thennnn I'll go back to studying!
haha. =D

I cycled to Mannafest this morning! For morning prayer!
I woke up! yeahhh..
happy. haha.
shall talk more another day. =)

I like my hair!
just random.
altho, I'm sometimes annoyed by it, but yes, I have grown to love my hair!

OH.
i had alot of imaginations of what I would encounter while cycling to Mannafest,
as in not purposely go think abt it kind.
Like the imaginations I had before the burning paper thing for LTD.
haha. I think they are quite funny, altho, I kind of know,
nothing will happen and none of my imaginations will come to pass.
LOL. thank GOD.
ok. so, I was imagining, cause it will be early early morning, and it's still dark,
then while cycling, I have to cycle very fast,
in case I meet stray dogs,
then they will chase me!
then i will cycle faster and faster!
then I tot I might meet some strange man following me on a bicycle also.
then I will cycle very fast to get away!
but he'll catch up!
then I'll command him to go away in Jesus' name!
or angels will come and save me somehow.
but of course!
none of all these happen laaaaa...
I just tot my imaginations are quite funny so I wanted to share with you.
haha.

it was exciting cycling there actually!
lol. and the streets were not that quiet as I thought they may be.
and I got there in 10mins!
yeahhhh.

wah. in my own terms, GOD IS COOL!!!
like like the woaaahhh coolest ever...
aiya.
I'll blog more another time. now suspense suspense...
I go back study first! =D

I feel so nonsense.
lol. my train of thoughs dun quite link here but nvm.
and! I think the quote I saw in PNP is so hilarious in my own understanding/interpretation not in context.
but if I put here, you guys will kill me.
I think.
haha.

ok bye!
you'll see me soon!
I'll talk more!
and listen to you more if you got things to tell me! =D
(I'm not refering to anyone in particular) =D

2008-06-23T16:31:00.002+08:00

I am here to psycho myself that I shall not whine.
I shall not whine.
I shall not whine.
I shall not whine.
I shall not whine.
yes.
I shall not whine.
because,
I won't die from just 2 weeks of exams and
I don't even have papers everyday.
yes.
altho they are just 10mins away,
but I shall not whine because I have to stay home and mug.
hah!
and I shall do my best for whatever time I have left for studying.
ok. I feel better now.
=)
ok. back to studying!

(I am seriously so amused by mad lips or is it mad libs? some game. XD)

2008-06-20T22:12:00.002+08:00

there is nothing like sitting in the presence of God.
this is a special treasure that You have given me, there's nothing like it
and I'll protect it, guard it, with all that I have, with all of my life.
this is real.

2008-06-20T14:38:00.004+08:00

Living The Difference 08

This is our GIDEON EXPERIENCE.
Hearts are moved, new things are birthed.
Lives are changed forever.
just like what Brother Stoneking says,
"You'll never be the same again..."

p.s I'll blog more another day, with pictures. =)

2008-06-09T00:37:00.004+08:00

i know i said i wun be bloggin till after exams...
but seriously, i really dunno how else to voice this out other than here.
hur hur...
I don't think I have been quite myself lately.
and i dun quite seemed to be able to trace it back like since whn it started kind of thing...
but i guess, ironically, i'm feeling quite upset.
confused, lost, i dunno wht...
ironic cause now i should be actually feeling quite the opposite.
hurrrrr...

i am so dying to voice out wht's wrong,
but i dunno who to say to... w/o someone feeling hurt.
and i can't really bare saying it out either...
i dunno. hah. i'm confusing myself.

it's very irritating being so sensitive sometimes,
i over-read wht ppl say to me,
and so easily get hurt.
hahhhh...
wht am i supposed to do?
putting up a front is so totally suffocatingggg...

and ya, the wall is still there,
maybe it got thicker...
i dunnoooooo...

ok.i m rambling here.
i think i need to talk to someone.
hah... but who?
... ... ... ... ...
~~argh.~~

From God:
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding."
Proverbs 3:5

I don't comprehend fully what's going on, but I know God told me to TRUST. and I don't deny the fact that often I have found myself comtemplating with the thought of giving up. thinking that maybe it would be easier back how it was...
such a lie.

where else could I possibly go? There's no other way to walk, no other path to take! It's all not worth it. How can I possibly turn my back on Him after what He has shown me, after all that He has done, the promises He has given me?
ohh so much more... can I possibly count His goodness?
it's measureless.

"Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." (John 6:68)

I don't want to go through the motion no more, I don't want to just simply go with the flow and continue to go in circles leading no where.
I don't know where exactly this path will take me, but I know I am going to follow Jesus.
and it is worth it all.

"HI EVERYONE! THIS IS YOUR ''LONG-AWAITED'' PHOTOS FROM THE FLEA-FLY MARKET BROTHER AND SISTER STORE!"

SETTING UP OF STORE

"wahh... very heavy lehhh..."

"You sure you know who to open this umbrella not? What is this string for???"

"Aiyaa... I teach you how to open it laa..."
KG: "wahh.. auntie so pro..."

TADAAAA!!! DONE! We had SUPER SUPER GOOD DIVINE FAVOUR from the auntie you see in the previous picture who is the in-charged person of this flea market.
As you can see, we have tables! Auntie allowed us to use tables when the rest of the stores there only used mats. Auntie provided us with 2 huge umbrellas for free 'cause it's a hot day and I think we can attract more people with them 'cause it makes the store looks so stand out in a way. (I think you are blind if you can't see our store! hahahaha)
From this picture you can't see many things laid out, actually we still have bags and bags of stuff! And when the crowd came, auntie loaned us extra mats so that we can display everything that we have! Last but not least, Auntie allowed us to play our own music!
Thank God! hahaha. =DDD

The bags and bags of stuff that are not laid out despite having the store already set up!

half way through most of us got a little crazy and we kind of camwhored with a 350D.

"EVERYTHING VERY CHEAP COME AND BUY!!!"
and kind of went around and took nonsense pictures of people there. hahaha.

INTRODUCING! MODELS OF THE DAY

(from left, Keiji, Baba, Justin)
I guess they somehow got bored or I dunno is whose brilliant idea, but these 3 guys went to take erm 'random' t-shirts that were on sale at the flea market and wore them.
hahahaha...

FINALLY!
INTRODUCING THE MANY FACES OF PETER JAMES!!!

I realised I have the most individual shots of Peter James. LOL. and these photos are taken by either me, Abby, Charles, or some other random people.
Peter, photogenic arr???
hahaha, although I think you look hilarious in some of the photos!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!
All our earnings from this flea market will go to missions, basically to help children get an education in poor countries. =))))
And our initial target for 2 flea markets was $450, but the first one was cancelled due to heavy rain and we didn't get a refund for our rental payment.
SO theoretically we had only 1 flea market in the quite ulu not the busy busy popular with alot of crowd place call Far East Square in Chinatown.
Despite all these, we earned $573 in total!!! OVERSHOT our target for 2 flea markets!!!
wohoooo... this is overdued post but yeahhh this is still a happy thing to cheer abt!

God really helped us and gave us divine favour and awesome weather for the flea market! Although we don't have massive crowds, but our customers that came in groups of 2 or 3 still managed to somehow help us earned so much!
hoho... =DDD

2008-05-15T19:38:00.002+08:00

Today is blood donation day! so exciting, though it kind of departed from my mind till i saw it the set-up at the study room after school. heh. Considering that I am 18 now! I don't need my mum to sign any form. hoho. =DDD

sooo... me and con went to donate blood after I finished AQ after sch today. Both of us got rejected last year so haha it's scary and exciting to try again. LOL. But, con got rejected again cause of low iron level but I made it all the way to the seat. hahaha... =D

I don't know why but I find it quite a funny experience. I was trying not to laugh when the doctor was measuring my blood pressure and when the worker there was going to insert the needle into my vein! hahaha.

ok. ultimate question of the day! PAIN NOT?
errrr... no... LOL. ok the most most painful part would be the stapling part where they do a mini test of your blood and the injection they give before they finally insert the bigger needle to transfer blood into the bag.
but then again the stapling part maybe it's painful to the extent of a red ant's bite???
then the injection was painful when it first went in and when the fluid was injected, but after that the pain was gone totally.
AND, the biggest needle that went in to transfer the blood wasn't pain at all, like almost no feeling. haha

okok... here comes the HIGHLIGHT!
during the mini check-up, doctor said my blood pressure only just passed so she requested i drank some/alot of water before the blood transfer because i might feel giddy afterwards. And I feel totally fine through the whole process when my blood was oozing out from my vein into the bag. Until when the bag was full and the person was going to remove everything, thennnn... the next thing I know, I was lying flat and some 3 people surrounded me, telling me to rest and not move.

Apparently, I fainted.
haha.

I never fainted before, so I guess this experience was quite interesting and I somehow find it funny too, although I kind of scared the people that was around at that time.
When she was going the remove the stuff, I just started to feel a little giddy then I just blacked out. It happened so fast, I didn't realise I fainted. It feels like those kind of times whereby you doze off in class and you didn't realise you dozed off until you woke up. Just that I was usually half awake when I doze off in class but just now when I fainted, I was totally unaware of whatever that was happening around me.

Con said the person asked me, "Miss, are you ok? Miss, are you ok?" But I made no response at all, so she hurriedly called the people to help and got me to lie down.
(I think I totally lost consciousness, I had totally no idea what happened.)

I only realised after a while and confirmed with con that I fainted. tskk. so malu. lol. Then she still asked me if I saw Jesus when I blacked out. lol. hahaha. Anyway, con was so motherly cause she made sure I rest enough and remained sitted down till colour returned on my face. I had to drink alot alot of water to replenish my body. I got oreo biscuits and raisins to eat from the reception outside too. Con was very nice to send me home too, in case I faint again on my way home. heh.

In conclusion, today is quite an interesting day because I fainted and I never faint before. Not that I wish to faint again! lol. Good thing I was on sitted on the chair when I fainted, if I was standing, I probably would have hurt myself by falling down.

ALRIGHT! THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY! =DDD
AND I FEEL PERFECTLY FINE NOW AND I WILL MAKE SURE I DRINK ALOT ALOT OF WATER! =DDD
AND I WILL GO DONATE BLOOD AGAIN DE!
(next time donate blood must do pre-blood donation preparation. lol)

2008-05-12T22:58:00.002+08:00

=D

2008-05-09T14:08:00.002+08:00

hahaha
I just going to paste this photo here cause I really really like it alot.

never fail to want to laugh looking at it, cause it looks so dumb and we look so dumb and funny as well. LOL

the 07/08 batch of exco is perhaps the smallest (shortest) one,
with the exception of quentin.
considering the previous batch of seniors, most of guys and they are all big size.
esp the legendary mr chee howe. LOL.
luckily? the new batch of exco, kind of grew a bit compared to us.
ANYWAY. HEIGHT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
LOL. hahaha... yaya I'm not particularly TALLLLL...

but I don't really care anyway, I'm fine with my height.

And one more thing, if you realise from the picture.
You can actually see we are actually all the same height like as if you can draw the straight line across our head.
and Quentin is just being TOO 'OUTSTANDING'.

okkk... BYEBYE! =D

2008-05-08T23:26:00.002+08:00

random shoutouts!
I want to change my blogskin!
I dunno why, but I find icons so cute and niceeeeeee... (these words are so overused and should be banned but... my vocab bank hasn't been growing... soooo, i'll replace them till my vocab bank grows. LOL)

"GOOOODDDDD DAY/NIGHT EVERYONE!
This is silly Lily, your proud and very retarded talk host from the De-Noise Radio Broadcasting Station! I simply love sooo much to share with you the BRILLIANT time I had with UNSOUND on my birthday!"

INTRODUCING UNSOUND!
FINALLY, all 6 of us has gathered once again, no missing people!!!
We went to Out of the Pan at Raffles City and enjoyed delicious Crêpes!

Wong (girl in 1st picture if you happen to not know) had her favouritest SALMON.

Wen had some snail thing which I dunno call what, and I dunno how to spell. LOL.

I had FISH MASALA. Extremely rare that I would eat fish, but cause it's masala, I couldn't resist! (and I had the lamest/retarded/ran out of vocab words to describe experience with eating masala.)
As for Charl, Englee and Ping. I so totally cannot remember what they ate. LOL.
Fill me in if you happen to remember. HAHA.
