PROM NIGHT.
man, tonight is the night.
can't wait, but kind of sad, cause tonight is the last night we are one school batch. ever.
got a "cutesy"(not really) blue dress, new shoes and DIY jewellery.
calling HK in the afternoon for confidence booster, just got a jittery feeling for no reason... and i can't sleep.
QT OF THE WEEK.
hmm, pastor Khong talked about making it count. let your life this week count for God. like that man with white hair, don't do it for recognition or numbers, go it for God and WITH GOD. it's that simple. but not easy. it's taking a hole lot of surrendering and trusting.
but i'm trusting God for Gkids. even as i see my second batch of kids go up and grow, i feel just like the mother hen watching the brood mature before her and leave. sad, but kind of makes you want to repeat everything all over again, all the time.

SLEEPLESS.
#nowplaying : Believe - Britt Nicole
haven't had much time to myself this week, activities packed back to back and all.
unconscious for the past 12 hours, had an awesome sleepover and TP rawks. i had Gkids Sunday morning too, the Christmas songs are just so cute.
praying for a couple of courses at TP, really wishing for Bio-technical Science with Forensics. that'll lead me to an overseas degree (the best route!) or an advance degree at NUS in Singapore. haven't exactly figured out a safety school yet, so i have to pray for that too.
although this week is hectic, night time has become a time set aside for reflection. insomniac like crazy now, but i don't dare to pop Panadol in case of reliance on it. i slept fewer hours than a dolphin from Thursday to Sunday.
some of the things that go through my head are kind of disturbing, like why do i even care about what others even think about me sometimes?
"how do i carry my self in front of others? am i inconsiderate at times? what are my actions telling people? am i being christ-like?"yeah, they make me wonder about me sometimes.
oh yeah, i told Sarah i wrote a song for my cellies! i had it around my stuff for a long time after they sang me mine, but i just got around to recording it. here goes nothing:
*i originally thought of using a song i knew, but i decided that they just didnt fit you. so i wrote my own.*
Verse 1:
there's a bunch of people that i know
they're not the kind of people
to come and go
and they've stuck with me
through every possibility
and i know that
they will always be there
for the good times and the bad
Chorus:
cos when we're a cell group
we stick as one
when we're a church
we are One
and soulmates and sisters
of this big family
there's no where that i rather be
than inside the Body.
nice right? yeah i know. now to just sing and play it. :/
this is a psalm of King David, written when he was hiding away from Saul in the desert.
he begins by praising God for all His faithfulness and goodness, despite of his current "wanted" status. this reminded me, do we take God's greatness for granted? do we find Him for all our problems and exclude Him from our good times?
He goes on to tell God that he will be as faithful to God as God was to him. verse 7 tells us about our conscious choice of friends. are we mixing with the right crowd?
peace people, and God bless you today :)

PERFECT ROAD.
Można mieć tylko żyć raz! co zamierzasz zrobić z jednego życia wtedy?
ten świat jest tylko taki mały, ale niemożliwie duży. Mam jeszcze sprawdzić, wystarczy, smak mało, czują się wystarczająco, nie wystarczy. nawet w Singapurze, mój wpływ na moje miejsce urodzenia może być znikomy.
Nie wiem jak wy, ale ja chcę, aby moje życie miało wpływ na przyszłe pokolenia. i nawet urlopu nie mają nic do mojego imienia, chcę zostawić ludzi coś może pracować w przyszłości.
tej drodze, gdzie chcę iść dopiero się zaczęła, i jestem smutny, szczęśliwy, podekscytowany i niepokoju w tym samym czasie. tak wiele chcę zrobić i tak mało czasu.

[Does sin have a speed limit?]
this is a short sermon at the back of the devotion of that day. talks about being the total pure person God wants us to be. it says that "dangerous sins" are built up by smaller, seemingly "harmless sins". like how backsliding is made of skipping a couple of sermons. this convicted me (evident on previous post) that i should be more disciplined in my quiet time. so here i am. God gave me a bible verse: Proverbs 18:9: Slack habits and sloppy work are as bad as vandalism. (The Message). everything we do for the name of our Lord must be from the depths of our heart, true effort and faith, not showmanship. thus it's not man we are answerable to, it's an all-knowing God. thus we don't cheat God. Hebrews 13:16: Make sure you don't take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of "sacrifice"—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets. (The Message) we all have talent, or something we're at least good at or enjoy doing. do something with that gift of yours, with the love of God, no strings attached. you'll find that you'll feel more whole helping someone and sharing the joy than hoarding the gifts of heaven alone. try it.

SIX MONTHS.
From now on, i will do a quiet time section of my blog posts, cause I'll be posting weekly. i will post what impacted me the most during quiet time that week, and any other verses I've received. the purpose of this implementation is to instill a sense of self-discipline to do my quiet time EVERY DAY instead of rushing it on the bus before exams.
because God is important enough.
hiya, this blog is officially revived. i have a lot to post, so I'm going to take this one post to sum up all my current feelings, projects and put up a few new things.
firstly, i need to thank people during this exam period for being understanding, caring and thoughtful! (it's a long list!) *drum roll* :
~ my cellies. ~think that's about it, the list will probably grow, but...
~ my fellow GKids leaders. ~
~ my teachers and schoolmates. ~
~ my neighbours. ~
~ my fellow ushers. ~
~ my pastors. ~
~ my family. ~
next thing, my list of current projects. i've decided to write songs again, and this time i'm going to writeworship songs. i will learn piano or guitar so i can do my songs to a tune. then i'll go and record videos or tracks (computer's all geared up with audit and record programs.) finally i will post them on my facebook, YouTube and twitter. so if you haven't followed, friend-ed or subscribe, my address is in the side bar and have a nice day.
finally the blog post. phew.
hmm, this exam period has changed nearly everybody I've known, or maybe I've changed instead.
my classmates and i were eating lunch at Bedok yesterday, and we got onto the topic of faith because someone was talking about praying. we went round the table rather seriously declaring our faith and our reasons, and laughed at some of the misconceptions of each. out of a table of six, three Christians (that's me!), two Buddhists and one free thinker. then we somehow got on the subject of Creation. We talked about the creation story in the bible, and about Satan, or Lucifer as he was then known. this led to the talk about demonic worship and the common agreement that you should be careful of who you worship, because all demons and evil spirits crave worship and attention. Surprisingly, the Buddhists did believe in Jesus, just that Buddhism is a family religion and their Church experiences were a bit scary.
oh yes,the church visits. to Christians, church is exciting, extra-ordinary and warm. to others, it's a first time experience and they may feel overwhelmed with why you want them to believe in something they have just found out about or are just curious. i have friends who have gotten scared off their first church visit and wouldn't be persuaded back. not to blame anyone, because it's not anyone's fault. I'm just saying that we must remember our friend's point of view when we approach them to join church. they're not trophies, they're friends.
well, that rant is over. i have six months and a spate of DIY projects: model army tank, teddy bear, jewellery... probably Christmas presents and birthday cards. oh, I'm going to make more tiramisu cakes this year, and i can help this year's dumpling festival from start to finish.
well, I'm praying to cut my hair and paint my nails now i don't have school, but i have to try and get a job first.
