Hey everyone!
The results are out.
Today was an exceptionally
scary day for most of us.
We got back like the results
for sci, math, HMT, lit and hist.
Aww man, MY LIT! D:
Ok, i shall not talk abt tt.
It's pissing me off.
Based on my results, i feel kinda
bad always on the comp and like
enjoying myself.
Should i be studying instead?
That does seem like the better
thing to do but its like aft the
exams and who would feel like
studying nw?!
Oh and i've already watched the 24th
episode of GG!
I so cant w8 for ep 25 which is the
season finale!
Will Chuck and Blair get together?
(EWWW!)
Will Serena and Dan get back together
again? (They look so CUTEEE together!)
Well, these qns will be answered tmr,
i hope.
I cant w8 to watch it! :D
Ok, just so u noe, im only talking
bout Gossip girl cuz i have nothing
better to talk abt.
Yeap, thats how boring my life is
right nw.
Oh and the saddest thing happened,
I got rejected to NJC. ):
But its ok, it's just my MYE results
tt matter nw.
Hope my overall percentage is still
good! (:
Fingers crossed!
BYE! :D

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
— 2 Corinthians 5:8

Recently, I wished a young friend “happy birthday” and asked him how it felt to be a year older. His playful response? “Well, I guess it’s better than the alternative!”

We laughed together, but I later stopped to think—is it really? Don’t misunderstand me. I’m happy to live as long as the Lord allows me to live and to watch my kids and grandkids grow and experience life. I’m not excited about the inevitability of death. But as a believer, the alternative to getting older is heaven—and that’s not bad!

In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul talks about the reality of living with the aches and pains of our physical bodies, our “tents” of flesh. But we should not live in despair about aging. In fact, the apostle calls us to just the opposite. He wrote, “We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord” (v.8). Confident! Pleased! Why? Because our alternative to earthly life is that we will be present with the Lord—forever! The heavenly perspective of what awaits us can give us confidence for living now.

If you know Christ, His promise can give you what the hymnwriter called, “Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.” What a great alternative!
— Bill Crowder

He’s gone “to prepare a place for you,”
That where He is, “there you may be.”
Our death is not the end of life—
We’ll be with Christ eternally!
— Hess

Death is gain because it means heaven, holiness, and Him!

Hey everyone!
Ok, i guess u guys must be
wondering is this a miracle?
Am i FINALLY posting again?
Haha, yes i am.
As u guys may have noticed,
the last time i posted was at
20 April.
Right, so the last time i posted
was abt a month ago.
How great is tt.
Anw, ALOT have been going on since
the period i've been MIA.
Well, let me just take some time to
tell u guys more bout wad's been going
on in my life lately.
(this might be kinda long)
So the biggest news ever -
MYE is OVER!
WEE! :D
So it was tue when we had our last paper
which was math and me, flo, kajal, jia yi,
ash, andrea and fel decided to go Vivo
to have fun aft tt long period
of studying.
Me, kajal, ash, jia yi and andrea went to
watch 17 again while flo and fel went
to watch X men/star trek instead cuz they've
already seen 17 again.
Anw, 17 again is like SUPER funny!
We practically laughed our heads off.
It was great.
:D
Oh yea, as u guys may have heard,
we got back our results!
Well not everything, just eng and sci sect A.
Im not gonna tell everyone how much i got
though, so i guess u guys would just
have to try figure it out for urselves.
;D
And guess wad?
I had the most fun ysd.
Ash, Jia yi and flo came to my hse and swam!
We had a blast!
Except for Flo cuz she only stayed like for
40mins?!
At around 1pm, Jia yi and Ash reached tiong
MRT.
Went to fetch them and walked to my hse.
We changed into our swimming costumes
1st and put on sun screen, etc.
Aft which, got down to the big pool and
swam.
And let me tell u, Jia yi has like super
powers or something.
She kept swimming lap aft lap aft lap and
she swims like super fast, k???
I am really shocked how she could do
it. Seriously.
We then went down to the jacuzzi and soaked
in there for awhile.
Then we took pics and ok, the pics r so
embarrasing!
We were like posing and posing.
So then we went on the slide and took
turns taking pics for one another.
Ok so then like flo suddenly called aft
1 hr and told us she was at my hse already.
Guess wad, we had to run downstairs to
the carpark in our swimming costumes.
Imagine seeing 3 girls in their swimming
costumes running down to the carpark,
soaking wet.
Yeap, tt was how stupid we looked.
So then we went to the steaming room
and it was like so freaking hot!!
There was so much of steam everywhere
and we then took more pics in the
steaming room.
Ok, so then all of us went up to the
big pool and took even more pics.
But, thanks to my brilliant phone,
the pics we took at the big pool
were somehoe gone and we couldnt find
it anymore.
The sad thing was, those were the nice
pics! D:
Im so pissed with my phone right nw.
But anw, i still had the greatest time
ysd! We had so much fun!!
Hope we can do tt again sometime soon.
:D
Ok so thats all i have to say.
But before i go, i wanna thank Ash and
Huishi for the only 2 ppl who come to
tag at my blog.
Thx guys, u rock. (:
Oh and i changed my blogskin!
Ok, bye! :D

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.
— Colossians 3:16

In a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya, a group of international refugees has been singing songs that they hope will wake up their homeland. According to the BBC, the group Waayah Cusub has been enjoying extensive airplay on radio stations and television channels by using bold lyrics to address social issues. One of the musicians says, “We are not happy with what is happening back home; in fact we have recorded a thought-provoking song that we hope will bring our leaders back to their senses.”

Long before Waayah Cusub began using songs to call for an end to social pain and violence, God taught Moses to use music in a bold and provocative way. Knowing that His people’s sinful inclinations would distract them when they began to enjoy the prosperity of the Promised Land (Deut. 31:21), God told Moses to teach them the song of chapter 32. It is a shocking song of warning, designed to get the attention of those who would forget God and fill their lives with trouble.

Could our wise and loving God be repeating that strategy with us? Is there a psalm, a hymn, or a spiritual song that is calling us back to His faithfulness and amazing grace? What song might He be using to get under the radar of our natural defenses and renew our hearts today?
— Mart De Haan

Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
— Robinson

Where words fail, music speaks.

I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions.
— Isaiah 44:22

What is memory? What is this faculty that enables us to recall past feelings, sights, sounds, and experiences? By what process are events recorded, stored, and preserved in our brain to be brought back again and again? Much is still mystery.

We do know that memories can be blessings—full of comfort, assurance, and joy. Old age can be happy and satisfying if we have stored up memories of purity, faith, fellowship, and love. If a saint looks back on a life of Christian service and remembers the faithfulness of Him who promised: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5), his or her sunset years can be the sweetest of all.

But memory can also be a curse and a tormentor. Many people as they approach the end of life would give all they possess to erase from their minds the past sins that haunt them. What can a person do who is plagued by such remembrances? Just one thing. He can take them to the One who is able to forgive them and blot them out forever. He’s the One who said, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more” (Heb. 10:17).

You may not be able to forget your past. But the Lord offers to blot out, “like a thick cloud, your transgressions” (Isa. 44:22).
— M.R. De Haan

The deep remorse that’s in the soul
No human eye may trace;
But Jesus sees the broken heart,
And can its woes erase.
— Bosch

The best eraser is honest confession to God.

Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor.
— 2 Corinthians 8:9

The practice of tipping is commonly accepted in many countries. But I wonder: Has this courtesy influenced our attitude toward giving money to the church? Many Christians regard their financial giving as little more than a goodwill gesture to God for the service He has rendered us. They think that as long as they have given their tithe to God, the rest is theirs to handle as they please. But the Christian life is about so much more than money! The Bible tells us that our Creator owns “the cattle on a thousand hills” (Ps. 50:10). “The world is Mine,” God says, “and all its fullness” (v.12). Everything comes from Him, and everything we have belongs to Him. God has not only given us every material thing we have, He has also given us His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who provides our very salvation. Paul used the Macedonian Christians as an illustration of what our giving should look like in the light of God’s incredible generosity toward us. The Macedonians, who were in “deep poverty,” gave with “liberality” (2 Cor. 8:2). But “they first gave themselves to the Lord” (v.5).

God the Creator of the universe does not need anything from us. He doesn’t want a tip. He wants us!
— C. P. Hia

Whatever, Lord, we lend to Thee,Repaid a thousand-fold will be;Then gladly will we give to Thee,Who givest all—who givest all.
— C. Wordsworth

No matter how much you give, you can’t outgive God.

Hey people!
Yes, i noe, i havent posted for practically
like a million yrs even though its
impossible since im only 14. (:
Anw, this week has really really
been a busy week for all of us cuz like
there were so many projects and tests
and everything, namely:
1) IC drama skit (which was today, btw)
2) LCEP comic strip (was to be handed up by today at 5)
3) Art storyboard (was rushing through it 2 nights before)
4)History test (today)
5) Study yan yu
6) IC eng presentation (today)
Well, to add more to the load, we still
have like quite alot of homework. D:
So yes, i was really busy.
Anw, lets talk abt today since there's quite
alot to talk about.
Ok, so like last night, we were like all
rushing to print out the scripts.
Mun Yun, who was initially supposed to print
6 scripts, realised that her printer is
jammed and was only able to print 2.
So i had to print 1 more script and had to
call Isabella that she had to print 3 more scripts.
I was also rushing to draw the photogragh for
the skit today and found that i didnt have
enough time so just decided to do it at sch.
Anw, i was then like making my way to sch
today with a huge bag full of props with one
hand and the laptop in the other.
And BOTH my hands were really aching.
I was so tired! D:
Well so we had mass run today which all of us
were like hoping it was cancelled but
unfortunately, it wasnt.
I then decided to run with Jia yi cuz she is
always like running so fast and like when
you run with her, u feel like running fast too.
So then like both of us were like the 2 fastest
runners in like the whole sch during the run.
Except for this one other girl which i dunno.
She was infront of us and she was fast.
We were like super tired when it ended.
My face was all red man.
Then like aft awhile, Ash came and we decided
to do push-ups. LOL.
Yes, i noe you must be thinking, how do we
get all tt energy from?
But let me tell you, its nothing compared
to Jia yi. ;D
Ok so then aft tt we had PE right away and me
and Ash were like the last ones to go to the
parade sq.
Everyone was kinda pissed at us i think.
Sorry u guys. ):
So then Mrs Yeoh said that we had to run our
2.4 since NAFA (right spelling?) is next week.
We were like all so bummed out man.
Cuz like we just came back frm the 1.6 run
and nw this?!
Ok, i was practically dying for the whole
run.
My face was SUPER red when i finished.
Seriously, it was like i washed my face with
blood or something.
So i came in 4th anw.
I deproved by 2 places compared to last yr.
How sad, lets just hope tt by some miracle,
i would be able to improve.
But im so not gonna go practice for my
2.4 on my own.
Im not tt free. LOL.
Right, so lets just skip all the boring parts
till the Drama lesson.
Well, today it was our very last session (YAY!)
and so we were supposed to act out our skits
today.
So guess wad?
We were so lucky tt my grp got to go perform
first.
Isnt tt just awesome?
So anw, we were all like so shocked and
suddenly got all nervous and everything cuz
like who thought tt we would be the very 1st
ones?!
So then like throughout the whole skit,
everything got kinda messy and like i laughed
a whole lot. D:
That was so not part of the plan.
But still, all of us still did pretty alright, i guess.
Anw, in the end, Kajal's grp was the best grp
and was then sent up to the PAT to perform.
It was so funny! :D
Oh and this was what happened during
Debbie's performance:
Jess: Hey, can i go out to get some fresh air?
Debbie: But we have aircon right here!
.............
Jess: Only Centuars (i think) have ears like this
Debbie: What are you talking about? You have ears
just like mine!
Flo: But Gorgons (which is Debbie) don't have ears!

Haha, it was so funny man!
All of us laughed like crazy, it was so typical-debbie.
:D
Anw, all of us still dunno who the best actress
is but the runner-up was Andrianna.
She was really good, she acted so well! :D
So then aft the drama thing, all of us stayed till
7pm for the sec 3 talk.
My mum didnt come cuz she had to work.
Anw, the thing ended at 8pm.
It then took me like 15 mins to get a cab, k?
So many ppl were flagging for cabs too.
D:
So then in the end, got hm around 8.30.
Missed half of American Idol. ):
Haha, but its ok.
Anw, since thats all for nw, BYE!
P.S The Sec 3 talk really made me more stress!

Be doers of the Word.
— James 1:22

All of the students at a school in Florida—2,550 in total—were in trouble. A message system notified every parent that their child (or children) had detention that weekend for bad behavior. Many kids pleaded their innocence, yet some parents meted out punishment anyway. One mother, Amy, admitted that she yelled at her son and made sure he showed up for his detention on Saturday.
To the relief of 2,534 kids, and to the embarrassment of some parents, they discovered that the automated message was sent in error to the entire student body when only 16 kids actually deserved detention! Amy felt so bad about not listening to and believing her son that she took him out for breakfast that Saturday morning.
We all have stories to tell about circumstances that have shown us our need to listen before we speak. We’re naturally tempted to come to quick judgments and react angrily. The book of James gives us these three practical exhortations to deal with life’s stressful situations: “Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19).

In life’s stresses, let’s be “doers of the Word” (v.22), and take the time to listen and show restraint with our words and anger today.
— Anne Cetas

A judgment made without the factsIs sure to be unfair,So always listen to both sides—You’ll find the answer there.
— Branon

Listen to understand, then speak with love.

So then aft the movie, went to Zara 1st.
There was this super nice T-shirt and
it was $39.90 which is kinda alright for
Zara standard but too bad didnt have much

Ok, so then went to Starbucks for a drink.
Bought a tall Caramel Frappucino as usual.

Ok, but yea, atleast i still enjoyed the
food in the end.
So aft tt went home and turned on the TV
to watch American Idol. (:
Since i having nothing more to say,
Im gonna end here.
BYE! ;D

Let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
— Philippians 2:3-4

Jason Ray was a ray of joy on the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill. He performed as Rameses (the school mascot) for 3 years, hauling his giant ram’s head costume to sporting events one day and children’s hospitals the next. Then, in March 2007, while with his team for a basketball tournament, Jason was struck by a car. His family watched and waited at the hospital, but the 21-year-old succumbed to his injuries and died.
His story doesn’t end there, however. Jason had filed paperwork two years earlier to donate organs and tissue upon his death—and that act of concern saved the lives of four people and helped dozens of others. A young man in the prime of his life, with everything to live for, was concerned for the well-being of others and acted on that concern. Those individuals who were helped, as well as their families, are deeply grateful for this young man who thought of others.

Jason’s act echoes the heart of Paul’s words in Philippians 2, as he called believers to look beyond themselves and their own interests, and to look to the interests of others. A heart that turns outward to others will be a healthy heart indeed.
— Bill Crowder

Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy dutyTo those who walk beside thee down life’s road.Make glad their days by little acts of beautyAnd help them bear the burden of earth’s load.

Looking to the needs of others honors Christ

Hey everyone!
Yes, im finally posting again.
After like 10 million yrs i guess?
LOL.
Ok, so anw so wad's up with my life
recently?
Well, even though this week is the
March hols and everything, it's not
all fun and leisure.
Firstly, there was hw, secondly, there
are projects and thirdly, we only have
7 days.
Like wad can we do in the tiny amt
of days.
Well, if it was a month or something,
yea, i would understand.
Ok, but i must admit, its still better
than nothing.
Haha, so i shouldnt complain.
;D
Oh so went out with Kajal, Ash, Flo
and Fel today.
Decided to go to Marina Square.
Met Kajal at tiong mrt at the platform.
Then kajal was like coming out of the
train then going back in again.
Yea, so u can imagine she looked kinda
weird. Haha, ok, im just kidding. (:
Well, so when we were like a few stops
away frm City hall (meeting point),
Fel started calling and said tt they were
already there and something else which
i cant hear.
So like when we got to City Hall, Ash, Fel
and Flo werent there at all so we called
them and it turns out they were at
top shop.
That was what Fel was trying to say
just nw i guess.
Ok, so later we went to Raffles Mall to
have our lunch 1st at the Food court.
I had pepper lunch express and it
was YUMMY! (:
We chatted and ate at the same time
until we realised tt we were gonna be
late for the movie.
So all of us like quickly gobbled up
our food.
Then like aft tt all of us are like running
to Marina Square and like we were all
grabbing our stomachs cuz like all of
us have stitches.
And when we got to Marina Square, we
didnt noe where the cinema was so i
had to be the one who asked this
random guy where it is.
Ok, so when we got there, we quicky
bought our tickets, which was $7.50.
I tot its supposed to be $6 since like
its student price n its like a weekday.
But then later Kajal told me its only
$6 on tuesdays so yea.
How sad. D:
Had to waste like $1.50 more.
Ok, so then we quickly had to rush to
the cinema and didnt even have time
for snacks.
Only Fel an Flo went to buy pop corn
and coke.
Yea, in the end, we made it in time
for the movie so thats gd.
Oh btw, we watched Race to Witch Mountain.
It was nice.
Except for the 1st part which was kinda
boring.
Haha.
Then like since it was kinda boring,
Kajal then got all restless and started
acting all weird and everything.
Not tt she's already so weird everyday.
But she was extra weird then.
Haha, im just kidding.
Ok, but then like aft tt the movie got
more interesting gradually and yes,
we enjoyed the movie.
So then towards the end, Fel asked
us whether we wanted pop corn then
me and kajal were like "I want, I want!"
So like we just grabbed a handfull of
pop corn into our hands and started
eating like barbarians.
Haha, we were like super messy.
And Kajal claimed tt the guy behind
her was laughing at her.
Haha, i wouldnt be surprised. ;D
Then aft the movie, we decided to go to
Starbucks.
Me and Kajal bought a tall Caramel Frappucino,
Ash bought a Grande Caramel Frappucino
and Flo bought a blueberry muffin.
Fel just took a sip frm mine.
LOL.
Ok, so while we were eating and drinking,
We talked and stuff and played some
staring game and truth & Dare.
It was kinda fun. (:
Then later aft we had nothing else to do,
we decided to go home.
Erm, i guess thats it for today.
Too bad we didnt take any pics.
D:
But any how, it was fun today. :D
BYE!

Walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.
— Ephesians 4:1

My Chinese family name sets me apart from others with different family names. It also confers on me a family responsibility. I am a member of the Hia family. As a member of the family, I am expected to carry on the Hia line and uphold the honor of my ancestors.
Believers who have been saved by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ have a spiritual family name. We are called “Christians.”
In the New Testament, the name Christian was first given to the disciples in Antioch by those who noted their behavior (Acts 11:26). Two things defined these early believers. They talked about the good news of the Lord Jesus everywhere they went (v.20). And they eagerly learned the Scriptures as Barnabas and Saul taught them for a whole year (v.26).
The name Christian means an “adherent to Christ”—literally, one who “sticks” to Christ. Today many people call themselves Christians. But should they?

If you call yourself a Christian, does your life tell others who Jesus is? Are you hungry for God’s Word? Do your actions bring honor or shame to Christ’s name?
What’s in a name? When the name is Christian, there is much indeed!
— C. P. Hia

Teach us that name to own,While waiting, Lord, for Thee,Unholiness and sin to shun,From all untruth to flee.
— Cecil

A Christian reflects Jesus Christ.

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
— 1 Corinthians 6:19

My garage serves as “storage” for things that don’t have a place in our home, and, frankly, there are times when I am ashamed to open the door. I don’t want anyone to see the clutter. So, periodically, I set aside a workday to clean it up.
Our hearts and minds are a lot like that—they accumulate lots of clutter. As we rub shoulders with the world, inevitably, perhaps unknowingly, we pick up ungodly thoughts and attitudes. Thinking that life is all about “me.” Demanding our rights. Reacting bitterly toward those who have hurt us. Before long, our hearts and minds are no longer clean and orderly. And while we think we can hide the mess, eventually it will show.
Paul pointedly asked, “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?” (1 Cor. 6:19)—which makes me wonder if God often feels like He is living in our messy garage.

Perhaps it’s time to set aside a spiritual workday and, with His help, get to work clearing out the clutter. Discard those thoughts of bitterness. Bag up and throw out the old patterns of sensual thoughts. Organize your attitudes. Fill your heart with the beauty of God’s Word. Make it clean to the core, and then leave the door open for all to see!
— Joe Stowell

More like the Master I would ever be,More of His meekness, more humility;More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,More consecration for work He bids me do.
— Gabriel

Don’t let the Spirit reside in a cluttered heart. Take some time to clean it up today!

2009-03-06T17:49:00.002+08:00

Hey everyone.
Yes ppl, I have new updates on my life.
Not tt im super interesting or
anything but yea, this is my blog
so who cares?
Anw, we didnt go to Lions Befrienders
today since it was our last day
there ysd.
Instead, we went to the Queenstown
stadium to help out with the rainbow
children's Sports day.
Woke up at around 7am today.
Went to the mrt station not long aft.
And reached to Queenstown station
early.
Waited for Kajal at the usual spot which
was at the bus stop.
While waiting, Dawn came and we kinda
talked and stuff.
Turns out, she was waiting for her fren,
Nicole.
Aft awhile, yes, Nicole reached before
Kajal.
And they were so lucky cuz they reached
just in time to go on the 111 bus.
So i continued waiting alone for Kajal.
Aft abt 15mins or more, Kajal finally
came.
And a piece of advice: Kajal's version of
'I'm almost there' is when she is still at
Clementi coming to Queenstown.
Haha, its ok tho, im not angry or anything.
Well, when we got to the stadium, most
of the ppl r already there.
Not tt we were late or anything tho.
So for the beginning part of the event,
all we did was sit and do nothing.
Cuz like there were already quite alot of
ppl doing the same thing.
So yes, we didnt really have much to do.
Oh but slacking didnt last long cuz the
teacher like noticed us doing nothing n
told us to help out.
My 1st duty was to tell the parents n their
children to go to this place aft they have
finished competing and stuff.
Aft tt, there wasnt much to do so i went
back up n sat down again.
So later the teacher came again when she saw
so many of us r like just sitting down
and stuff.
Well, my next duty was to prepare
muskin (right spelling?) tape for the parents
to dress up their children.
It was alright, except tt we had to stand
under the sun for such a long time.
But still, atleast we helped. (:
Ok, well aft some time, i was like tired
and was sweating so much so me and
Kajal kind a found 2 other ppl who were
so nice to take over us.
So once again, we went back up and sat
down and relax. ;D
It was soon 12.30pm and we were dismissed.
So me and kajal went to tiong to have
lunch aft tt.
Jia yi was supposed to come with us but
she didnt bring her money so yea.
And Kajal who was not able to come atfirst
was able to later cuz like she called her
mum n her mum was in such a gd mood
tt she allowed Kajal to go.
So then we thought it was gonna be only the
2 of us cuz Ash overslept and went late
for her CIP and she tot tt she wouldnt be
able to leave early then.
But turns out, Flo and Ash were able to come
aft all cuz Flo had to go fetch her bro. ;D
By the tim we knew tt they were gonna come,
we already ate our lunch at Long John's.
And while we were eating, Ash and Flo tried
calling me 5 times and Kajal 3 times.
Luckily, Kajal finally felt a vibration unlike
me who was so blur as usual.
Ok, so then we gave Flo and Ash a call n turns
out they were in Mos Burger.
Went Mos to meet them as soon as we
were done and we talked n stuff.
I missed them so much!
Its been like so many days since i last
saw them.
Well, as u have realised, i have been blogging
much more recently.
But this is just temporary cuz i'll
definately not have as much time to post
so much aft this week cuz as u guys noe,
Sch starts once again.
Argh, y must all good things come to
an end?
This week was so much fun man.
Well, since i have nothing more to say,
BYE! :D

God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have showed toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints.
— Hebrews 6:10

When Britain’s oldest man turned 111, vintage aircraft did a flyover, and the Band of the Royal Marines played “Happy Birthday.” According to the Daily Mirror, Henry Allingham was amazed by all of the attention. Until 6 years earlier, he had for 86 years kept secret the horrific memories of what happened in the trenches of World War I. Only when tracked down by the World War I Veteran’s Association did this old man, who had been shelled, bombed, and shot, receive honor for what he had endured in behalf of his country.
The story of the Bible gives us parallels to Henry’s story. The Scriptures show that those who fight the battles of God often end up wounded, imprisoned, and even killed as a result of their service.

The cynic might observe such lives and conclude with a sigh that no good deed goes unpunished. But the author of Hebrews sees a bigger picture. He reminds us that everything and anything we have done in faith and love will one day be honored by God (6:10).
Are you discouraged today? Do you feel insignificant? Do you feel forgotten after trying to serve God? Be assured that God will not forget anything you have done in your service to Him or others.
— Mart De Haan

Does the place you’re called to laborSeem so small and little known?It is great if God is in it,And He’ll not forget His own.
— Suffield

God remembers the good we forget.

2009-03-05T17:26:00.009+08:00

Hey everyone.
Well, today is kinda an emotional
day for us ppl who volunteered at
Lion's Befrienders cuz as some of
you ppl may noe, today is our very
last day there.
So today we went there like extra
early cuz like we had to go make
sandwiches for them at iris's hse.
Well, guess wad?
1st of all, i was supposed to bring the pork
floss to her place but obviously, i forgot
to bring.
So we changed our sandwich into Tuna
sandwich instead of the porkfloss one.
Right, so when we got to Iris's hse, 1st
thing we did was get scared (Me & Kajal)
cuz totally forgot bout her pet dog, Angel.
Cuz it started running towards us and started
barking and me and kajal were just standing
there.
So Iris had to carry round Angel every where
cuz we would just be way too frightened to
walk around the hse otherwise.
But since the Angel was kinda heavy,
Iris just suggested that me and Kajal just
hide in the room and think of the performance
we're gonna put up later.
But b4 we could do tt, we realised tt we
dun have enough bread and went down to
buy 2 loafs of bread frm the stall downstairs
Iris hse.
So aft bout like half an hour, Celeste finally
arrived.
She was late, but its ok, we still managed
to complete everything.
Ok, so then it was like already almost 8am
n we were supposed to be there at like 7.50am.
So we then went out of the rm and realised
tt Iris was still on her 7th sandwich and we
had to make 20.
Celeste couldnt help as well cuz like she was
in the rm with the Angel inside and i think
they were afraid tt everything would get
messed up or something?
Oh no, i think it was me and kajal's fault cuz
we did not dare to walk of the rm if Angel
was there, so i guess its our bad.
Anw, we were like super scared already cuz
we still have tomake much more sandwiches.
So then me and kajal decided to help and we
managed to finish making them all by 8am.
Like how amazing is tt.
And we even made extra with a bit of tuna
left over. (:
Ok, so we quickly rushed down when suddenly,
we were like walking halfway and we realised
we left the sandwiches in Iris's hse.
Like how smart of us to do tt?!
So then Iris and Celeste decided to run up
to her hse to get the sandwiches and by
the time we got to the place, we were like
the very last ones there, DUH.
We were so late tt Joycelyn had to call us
twice.
LOL.
So then we kinda practiced on our performance
and honestly, our hokey-pokey dance
turned out better than we expected it to be.
Since it was so last min and all.
Ok, so these are the performance by
the respective groups:
Renee's Grp: Mama mia dance thingy
Joycelyn's Grp: right side, left side dance,
gheko dance n i think one more which i
have forgotten (SORRY!)
Our Grp: Hokey-Pokey dance
So at the end of all our performances, we
did the friendship dance which is definitely
not as lame as it sounds.
Its really fun and it did keep the seniors
happy.
At the end of the day, all of us including the
seniors were like all sad cuz we really
gotten quite close. (:
Overall, i think CIP at Lion's Befrienders
was quite a good experience aft all.
Ok, so tmr we're gonna go Queenstown
stadium to help the rainbow children for their
sports day.
And yes, have to wake up early AGAIN.
This time its at 7am which is not as bad
as today cuz i woke up at like 6.30am.
Oh and one last thing, Ash can come tmr
for lunch so YAY!
But Kajal couldnt make it tmr.
So thats sad. D':
Anw, since i have nothing more to say,
BYE! (:

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts.
— Ezekiel 14:3

When my husband and I first went out as missionaries, I recall being concerned about the growth of materialism in our society. It never crossed my mind that I myself could be materialistic. After all, hadn’t we gone overseas with almost nothing? Weren’t we choosing to live in a shabbily furnished, rundown apartment? I thought materialism couldn’t touch us.
Nonetheless, feelings of discontent gradually began to take root in my heart. Before long I was craving hungrily after nice things and secretly feeling resentful over not having them.
Then one day God’s Spirit opened my eyes with a disturbing insight: Materialism isn’t necessarily having things; it can also be craving them. There I stood—guilty of materialism! God had exposed my discontent for what it was—an idol in my heart! That day as I repented of this subtle sin, God recaptured my heart as His rightful throne. Needless to say, a deep contentment followed, based not on things but on Him.

In Ezekiel’s day, God dealt thoroughly with this kind of secret idolatry. His throne on earth has always been in the hearts of His people. That’s why we must rid our heart of anything that destroys our contentment with Him.
— Joanie Yoder

The dearest idol I have known,Whate’er that idol be,Help me to tear it from Thy throneAnd worship only Thee.
— Cowper

An idol is anything that takes the place of God.

Oh n check out some of these pics:

Can U see who r in the pic? ;D

Mine and Kajal's shadow.
Kajal's one's obviously the taller one.

Who's the nerd? ;D

Sorry ppl, u have to turn ur heads a lil

Me with Iris's Camera! (:
For more pics, go to MY FACEBOOK ACC!

2009-03-04T19:49:00.002+08:00

Hey everyone.
I realised i've been posting much more
often recently.
That just comes to show that this CIP
week really gives me alot more free
time and at the same time, we get to
help others.
So i guess this week really benefits all
of us.
Today was alright.
Everyone was on time including me.
I guess thats cuz it wasnt raining today
so i was walking like much faster than
ysd. (:
We did the same thing today.
Taught the old folks how to fold origami
and aft tt had lunch and planned on what
we should do for the seniors tmr since
its like our very last day there.
Well, our grp which is me, Kajal, Iris
and Celeste has decided to do a skit
i think.
We havent really planned much which
is not the greatest thing of all i guess since
we have to perform it early in the morning
tmr.
But no worries, i believe everything will
be alright.
Oh and guess wad?
I have to wake up like super early tmr
at 6.30am cuz we have to meet up at
Iris' hse at 7.30 tmr.
Like how sad is tt?
I'll be like super tired and it'll definately
feel like sch all over again.
I tried negotiating for a later time but
to no avail.
I guess that this is the best time aft all.
Cuz like we have to go Iris hse to make
the sandwiches which is btw, 20 of them.
U see, we decided t provide breakfast for
the seniors tmr since we're like going there
in the morning at 9am.
We have decided to make porkfloss sandwiches
with butter/margerine n cucumber.
So yes, tt kinda explain y we're waing up so
early.
But i guess its enough time cuz like each of us
will just make 5 each since there's 4 of us.
Oh and yes, we have to prepare our skit
as well.
So i guess 7.30 is gd aft all.
And just if u're wondering what we'll do on
fri since we're not going to lion's befrienders,
no, we're not gonna stay hm and slack.
Instead, we're going to queenstown stadium
to help out the rainbow centre ppl.
Which means another day of waking up early
again cuz like we hae to reach the place
by 8/9am.
Yes, how sad is tt. ):
Ok, since i have nothing more to say,
im gonna stop here and go watch american idol!
WEE! ;D
Bye. (:

To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge.
— Ephesians 3:19

The words of the hymn “The Love of God” capture in word pictures the breathtaking magnitude of divine love:
Could we with ink the ocean fillAnd were the skiesof parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quillAnd every man a scribe by trade,To write the love of God aboveWould drain the ocean dry,Nor could the scrollcontain the wholeThough stretched from sky to sky.
These marvelous lyrics echo Paul’s response to the love of God. The apostle prayed that believers might “be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge” (Eph. 3:18-19). In reflecting on these verses about God’s love, some Bible scholars believe “width” refers to its worldwide embrace (John 3:16); “length,” its existence through all ages (Eph. 3:21); “depth,” its profound wisdom (Rom. 11:33); and “height,” its victory over sin opening the way to heaven (Eph. 4:8).

We are admonished to appreciate this amazing love. Yet as we expand our awareness of God’s love, we soon realize that its full measure is beyond our understanding. Even if the ocean were filled with ink, using it to write about the love of God would drain it dry.
— Dennis Fisher

God’s love cannot be explained — it can only be experienced.

2009-03-03T22:04:00.003+08:00

Hey everyone.
Ok, anw, today was an alright day
for me. (:
Woke up at arnd 10pm cuz like we
only have to reach the place at like
11, so i figured its actually the right
time to wake up.
Ok, so aft like i woke up and got ready
and stuff, i realised it was like raining
like crazy outside.
The rain was so heavy, seriously.
So i wanted to take a taxi but Kajal
asked me to meet her at Queenstown
mrt so i decided to just take the train.
And yea, guess wad?
Just when i reached tiong mrt, my entire
skirt was like soaking wet.
Tt was hot heavy the rain is.
Seriously, my entire skirt was completely
wet and yes, rain did get into my shoes
which made my socks like wet as well.
So actually, i was wet all over, even my
my toes were wet.
How great is tt.
LOL, i just realised tt i've been self-pitying
quite alot bout the rain thing so i shall
stop nw.
Cuz i noe u guys r already kinda irritated
with hearing my complaints.
Oh so anw, reached queenstown mrt arnd
like 11 and yes, i was late cuz we were
actually supposed to reach the place at 10.50.
So Kajal, iris and Zenice (kajal made her w8 for me)
waited there for like more than 10mins.
And yes, when we reached the place, we were
actually like the last ones to reach there.
Oops, so i guess its my fault.
D: Sorry u guys!
In the beginning, we just listen to the old
folks sing karaoke.
They seem to enjoy themselves. (:
So thats good.
Aft tt, i was lunch break and me and kajal
decided to go to common wealth which
turns out not to be a good idea aft all.
Well, everything was fine when we got
to commonwealth.
I bought hokkien mee for $3.50 which
btw, tastes exactly like the one in wisma
and better yet, its like cheaper and easier
to eat cuz the peeled off the prawn shell.
And Kajal bought her Chicken cutlet rice
which she claims its the best thing she has
ever eaten i think.
LOL.
Ok, so aft we have finished eating, it was
almost 12.50 already and we were supposed
to be back by 1pm.
So we were like its ok to be a few mins late,
they wont really bother.
Yea, so we got to the mrt station and i
started walking to pasir ris side.
Then Kajal was like saying i was going
the wrong way n pulled me to Joo Koon
side.
Being the blur one, and Kajal always
being the one who is more alert, we went on
the Joo Koon train.
So when we got up, Kajal suddenly realised
tt we were on the wrong train n we were
supposed to go on the Pasir ris train.
So we got off at buona vista n took
the Pasir ris train instead.
We seriously wasted like alot of time.
Cuz we realised tt while we were waiting
for the Joo Koon train, we like missed
2 of the pasir ris train and then at Buona
vista, we had to w8 another extra 2 mins
and it took us like 4 mins to reach Queenstown.
Ok, maybe w didnt waste tt much time.
But still.
And so in the end, we were like maybe
10mins late but like the teacher still
didnt scold us so i guess we were alright.
We just blended into the crowd and tot
the old folks how to fold paper hearts
n kinda chit chatted with them. :D
Well, i guess i have nothing more to say.
Oh and yes, Flo, Kajal, Jia yi and me r
going out this fri aft our CIP thing.
We wanted Ash to come but her mum
doesnt allow.
So yes, how sad is tt. ):
Ok, anw, i have nothing more to say so
i guess i'll just end off here.
Bye. (:

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life.
— 1 Timothy 6:12

Tolkien’s classic The Lord of the Rings trilogy came to life in recent years on film. In the second epic story, the hero, Frodo, reached a point of despair and wearily confided to his friend, “I can’t do this, Sam.” As a good friend, Sam gave a rousing speech: “It’s like in the great stories . . . . Full of darkness and danger they were. . . . Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.” Which prompted Frodo to ask: “What are we holding on to, Sam?”
It’s a significant question, one that we all need to ask ourselves. Living in a fallen, broken world, it’s no wonder that sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the powers of darkness. When we are at the point of despair, ready to throw in the towel, we do well to follow Paul’s advice to Timothy:

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life” (1 Tim. 6:12).
In life’s battles, let’s hold on to the fact that good will triumph over evil in the end, that one day we will see our Master and Leader face-to-face, and we will reign with Him forever. You can be part of this great story, knowing that if you have trusted Jesus for salvation you are guaranteed a victorious ending!
— Joe Stowell

Though weak and helpless in life’s fray,God’s mighty power shall be my stay;Without, within, He gives to meThe strength to gain the victory.
— D. De Haan

Burger and then went back cuz

Haha, but atleast i still change
it once in a while.
Anw, back to wad i did ysd.
So i went back and did a lil bit
on my blog stuff and used the comp
for a lil while.
So went back just in time for the
movie and let me tell u,

Oh and u noe the last part of the
movie was so sad tt i even cried abit.

They were like so friendly.
Ok, so me and kajal decided to meet at
the little junction before we cross the road
to go to sch.
Kajal was a lil late cuz she woke up late
and had to w8 for the bus.
But luckily we reached sch in time.
Aft everyone was a sch, we took 111 to
Queenstown where the place actually is.
The place is like only a few mins walk frm
the mrt station. :D
So when we reached there, the person in
charge kinda briefed (Is it the right spelling?)
us on wad to do n stuff.
Ok, aft tt we kinda watched the old folks
exercise and went for lunch break.
Haha.
So when we got back, we started with our activity
which is teaching them to fold paper hearts.
We were supposed to fold paper lotus but
we just didnt noe how to.
But in the end, the old folks did enjoy it.
;D
Ok, aft tt, we went back.
Well, see u guys soon! (:

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.
— Ephesians 4:1

A continuing struggle as we seek to follow Christ is trying to find our calling in life. While we often think in terms of occupation and location, perhaps a more important issue is one of character—the being that undergirds doing. “Lord, who do You want me to be?”
In Ephesians 4, Paul wrote, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called” (v.1). He followed this with three “be’s,” as one translation renders it: be humble, be gentle, be patient, “bearing with one another in love” (v.2 NIV). Paul wrote this from prison, a difficult place where he continued to live out his calling from God.

Oswald Chambers said: “Consecration is not the giving over of the calling in life to God, but the separation from all other callings and the giving over of ourselves to God, letting His providence place us where He will—in business, or law, or science; in workshop, in politics, or in drudgery. We are to be there working according to the laws and principles of the Kingdom of God.”
When we are the right people before God, we can do whatever task He sends, wherever He puts us. In so doing, we discover and affirm His calling for us.
— David C. McCasland

You are called with a holy callingThe light of the world to be;To lift up the lamp of the gospelThat others the light may see.

Let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.
— Malachi 2:15

The drama played out in a nest of bald eagles monitored by a webcam. A beloved eagle family, viewed by many via the Internet, was breaking up. After raising several offspring in previous seasons, the mother again laid new eggs in the spring. But then a young female invaded their happy home. When Dad started cavorting with her, Mom disappeared and the life in the abandoned eggs died.

In an Internet chat room, questions and accusations flew wildly. Everyone who loved the pair was distraught. Biologists warned the amateur eagle enthusiasts not to attribute human values to birds. But everyone did. We all wanted the original couple to reunite. Everyone seemed to “know” that the family unit is sacred.

As chat room members expressed their sadness, I wondered if they knew that God feels much the same way about human family breakups. I also wondered about myself: Why did I feel more sadness over the eagles than over the fractured human families in my community? Clearly, I need to revise my priorities.

In Malachi 2, we see God’s view of marriage. It symbolizes His covenant with His people (v.11). He takes it very seriously—and so should we.
— Julie Ackerman Link

Thinking It Over
In Malachi 2:11, what is “profaned” and how?
How does Malachi 2:15 echo Genesis 2:24?
Why is this important?
(Mal. 2:15-16)

Put Christ first if you want your marriage to last.

Hey People!
Yes, i have just came back frm
Mars so tt explains y i havent
posted for like millions of
yrs. ;D
Well, no i didnt go to Mars
but i did not posted for like
10 yrs.
Anw, nothing much happened
recently tho.
Went out with Kajal to Cathay
Cineplex and watched Valkyrie
which was pretty awesome except
for the part tt Tom Cruise dies.
Tt was simple devastating.
So the initial plan was tt, Me,
Jia Yi, Flo, Fel, Ash, and Kajal.
were all supposed together.
But Jia Yi could not go in the end
cuz she didnt tell her mum and
she didnt bring her money.
And next was Flo and Fel.
They had to go grocery shopping
at Novena and Fel had to go take
an injection at Tan Tock Seng
aft tt.
So yea, another 2 gone.
So tt left with Ash.
Well, she just couldnt come cuz her
mum didnt allow her cuz her mum
claimed tt she was rude and
disrespectful or something.
So in the end, it was just us 2.
We were kinda on the fence whether
we shoud go cuz like its only 2 ppl
and it was like raining then n both
of us dun have an umbrella.
But in the end, we just decided to
go cuz we already planned everytihng.
But when we reached there, we were
kinda lost cuz we didnt noe the way
to Cathay cineplex.
We then asked a couple of ppl and
continued walking.
So we were like kinda rushing cuz it
was like already 1.55 and
the movie was at 2.10 so we were like
walking superly fast and guess wad?
We were in such a rush tt we ran
past cathay cineplex and like walked
till centrepoint.
Well, we didnt realise tt we arent
exactly at the right place so we
quickly rushed back n finally
reached Cathay at like 2.10?
But we then realised they'll show
the previews and stuff which will
probably last for another 10mins.
So i then had an idea where we can
sneak in subway food n hide it in
our bags since our bags r kinda huge
anw.
So in the end, thats wad we did n
we were able to make the movie right
on time! :D
Ok so about the movie.
The 1st part wasnt tt nice, cuz
it was kinda boring n all.
But aft tt, it got nicer and nicer.
And yea, we kinda enjoyed it aft all.
So by the time the movie ended, it
was abt 4.40+?
And yea, it was oso raining then.
And heavily too.
So we were like thinking of a way
to get go hm then without getting
wet n we decided to buy an umbrella
at 1st but it was like such a waste
cuz we wont be using it like for the
rest of our lives.
So we kinda waited till like 5 for
the rain to lessen down and we then
walked to the MRT station.
Ok, so i guess there's nothing more
for me to say.
Hope tt i'll post soon! :D
XOXO; (:

Beloved, now we are children of God.
— 1 John 3:2

The story is told that the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) was sauntering through Berlin’s famous Tiergarden one day, mentally probing the questions of origin and destiny that had been constantly perplexing him: Who am I? Where am I going?

A park-keeper, closely observing the shabbily dressed philosopher as he walked slowly with head bowed, suspected that Schopenhauer was a tramp. So he walked up to the philosopher and demanded, “Who are you? Where are you going?” With a pained expression, Schopenhauer replied, “I don’t know. I wish somebody could tell me.”

Are you ever perplexed by those same questions? Who am I? Where am I going? What a comfort it is to have God’s authoritative answers in the Bible. Who are we? In 1 John 3, John calls his readers “children of God” (v.2). We become His children by receiving Jesus as our Savior from sin (John 1:12). And where are we going? John 14:1-6 tells us that one day He will receive us into a home He is preparing in heaven.

Our Maker is not only the Author of science and history, but He writes the story of every member of Adam’s family—yours and mine. We can trust His answers.
— Vernon C. Grounds

Hey everyone
Here to update my blog
once again.
Well, lets see, sch was
alright today except for
the tiring mass run and aft
tt, we had PE and we were
forced to run for another
10 mins.
Yes, it is a miracle how i
could be alive right now.
;D
Anw, we oso played floor
ball during PE.
And guess wad?
Our team lost by like 5 points?
I think its mainly cuz of me
cuz like i totally suck at it.
Haha.
But Joan, Paulina, Kailing and
the rest were pretty good.
(:
Let me see if there's anything
interesting that happened today.
Oh i noe, ok, so we had lit today.
And were supposed to make a
powerpoint slide and present it to
the class.
Our grp kinda had difficulty finding
the info and in the end, we just like
copied and pasted the whole chunk
of info on to the slides and we
were so out of time that we didnt
even like know which slide
one of us should say.
So in the end we were like so messed
up cuz we were oso the 1st ones to
present.
And yea, aft reading 2 points,
the teacher just asked us to stop.
LOL.
Haha
Oh and during eng, we oso had to
record our video.
These are the few problems we faced:
1) We didnt bring our camera so had
to use my HP cam in the end
2) We couldnt find the right place
to film
3) I kept laughing when i was filming
4) Elaine was pissed at us, LOL.
Ok, so i guess thats abt it.
C u guys soon.

You, being dead in your trespasses, . . . He has made alive together with Him.
— Colossians 2:13

On February 6, 1958, a chartered plane carrying most of the members of the English football (soccer) club Manchester United crashed on takeoff from Munich, Germany. With so many of their star players lost, some despaired over prospects for the club’s survival. Yet today it is one of the best-known teams in the world. Fittingly, the man who rebuilt the team, Matt Busby, survived the crash himself.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus’ arrest and subsequent crucifixion caused many of His followers to despair. The disciples themselves had lost hope. But their despondency evaporated on that first Easter morning when they found that the stone sealing the tomb had been moved aside (John 20:1). Jesus had risen!

Jesus soon appeared to Mary Magdalene (vv.11-16) and then to His disciples, who had gathered behind locked doors (v.19). His visit brought a remarkable change in them. As one version renders it, they were “overjoyed” (v.20 NIV).

Perhaps your world has crashed around you. It may be a deeply personal loss, a tragedy in your family, or some other great trial. Jesus’ resurrection proved that He is greater than the greatest obstacles. He can rebuild your life—as He did with His disciples—starting today.
— C. P. Hia

He rose! And with Him hope arose, and life and light.

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds.
— Philippians 4:7

At the height of their popularity, creativity, and wealth, the Beatles produced a controversial project called “The White Album.” It signaled the breakup of the band by featuring pieces that were primarily individual in nature instead of collaborative.

It also revealed a growing disenchantment with all that their fame had produced. In his song “I’m So Tired,” John Lennon expressed the emptiness of his “successful” and wealthy life with these profound words: “I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little peace of mind.” All that he had, all that he had accomplished, and all that he had become could not meet this simple, yet deep, personal need.

The world we live in cannot offer peace. It offers only poor options. Pleasure, power, and possessions are no substitute for peace of heart and mind.

Paul reminded the believers at Philippi, “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:7). This is the peace God brings to those who have been reconciled to God by faith in His Son Jesus (Eph. 2:14-16). It is a peace we are to share with a world that is desperate for it.

Peace—real peace—is found only in a relationship with Jesus. Have you received His peace?
— Bill Crowder

Finding Real Peace
Accept the reconciliation God offers by asking Him
to forgive you. Believe that His Son Jesus died on the
cross for your sins and was raised from the dead.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
— Jesus

Hey everyone!
Been like a million years
since i've last posted.
Thats y its like super dead

SAD. ):
Anw, sch has been pretty
alright.
Didnt really do much today tho.
Eng was fun.
We did sometihng tt had to do
with Anne Frank and got to
watch this short trailer bout
this Anne Frank movie.
Let me tell u, it was super
sad, k?
I almost cried.
And Kajal did cry during the part
where they played the titanic song!
Haha.
That part is really sad, i must
admit.
Anw, art was ok-ish.
Did this famous ppl art potrait
thing where we had to draw a
famous person.
We were supposed to print the
pic of a famous person but i forgot
to so i just i chose one of the
pics Mr Yip printed for us.
I immediately took Jennifer Aniston
when i saw her pic.
I was like so happy.
:D
She's AWESOME!
Ok, but i really did a great job
destroying her with my bad drawing
skills.
Haha.
Ok, i guess i have nothing more to
say.
Buh-bye! ;D

We have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed.
— 2 Peter 1:19

Punxsutawney Phil is a groundhog that comes out of his burrow on Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania, each February 2 to predict the weather. According to legend, if Phil sees his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of cold weather. If he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early.

This is all humbug and good humor, of course. No one to my knowledge takes Phil’s predictions seriously. Furthermore, he’s unreliable—more often wrong than right, I’m told.

There is One, however, who is always right and whom we must take seriously. Peter writes of Him, “We have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19).

Peter was thinking of that day on the Mount of Transfiguration with James and John when he saw Jesus standing with the two great prophets of the Old Testament, Moses and Elijah. In that august company of true prophets the Father pointed to the Son and said: “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” (Luke 9:35). Jesus’ word is a “prophetic word” that is certain!

There is One who is never wrong and who will never lead us astray: our Lord Jesus. We must hear Him!
— David H. Roper

At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heaven we’ll crown Him
When our journey is complete.

Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
— Psalm 71:9

I was having breakfast with a friend who had recently celebrated his 60th birthday. We discussed the “trauma” of the number 6 being the first digit in his age and all that the age of 60 implies (retirement, social security, etc.). We also pondered the fact that he felt so much younger than such a “large” number would seem to indicate.

Then the conversation turned to the lessons, joys, and blessings he’d found in living those 60 years, and he said, “You know, it isn’t really that bad. In fact, it’s pretty exciting.” The lessons of the past had brought a change in how he viewed the present.

Such is the aging process. We learn from our past in order to live in our present—a lesson reflected on by the psalmist: “For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth” (Ps. 71:5). He continued, “By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You” (v.6). As the psalmist looked back, he clearly saw the faithfulness of God. With confidence in that faithfulness, he could face the future and its uncertainties—and so can we.

May we say with the psalmist, “I will praise You—and Your faithfulness, O my God!” (v.22).
— Bill Crowder

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father!
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

Hey everyone!
Right, so i havent been
posting for a long time these
past few days.
I guess thats mainly cuz Sec 2
life is like so much more
stress-er and buzier?!
D':
Anw, enough of my complains.
Im here to entertain u guys
again. LOL. (:
So met up with Yan lin and
Yen Yi on wed.
We met up around like 2+?
And went to macs.
Since i didnt have lunch yet,
i went to buy food and Yan lin
went to buy food too not long
aft tt cuz she said i was
tempting her.
Haha. ;D
While we were eating, we were
oso playing on my TPC!
Which is supposed to be fun but
its not.
Cuz we just couldnt connect to the
internet at macs for some reason.
We were like so pisssedd!
So we then gave up on tt since
we literally wasted like 20mins
of our time doing tt which is
totally hopeless in the end.
So we decided to play the games
on my comp - Cooking Academy.
Haha.
Yen yi was like the one teaching
us how to play at 1st.
She's like so pro! ;D
Haha.
And Yan lin was awesome at
~~Stabbing my screen with the stylus~~
the game as well. ;D
So aft awhile, some of their sch
mates came and yen yi had to go help
decorate the class.
So it was only me and Yan lin then.
We continued playing the game and
we had fun! (:
So like abt 5.30 i had to go home
but b4 tt, we were comparing our
muscles.
Haha.
And guess wad?
Yan lin has like so much more
muscle at her legs than me and
mine is just filled with fats.
Like how ugly is tt?! D':
I guess this is mainly cuz i dun
skip 300 times a day like someone.
;D
By someone i mean Yan lin!
Strong stamina man!!
Ok on thur we had ELDDS and learnt
miming! (:
It was so fun!
Enjoyed it lots. ;D
Aft Drama, it was like almost 6.
And i went with Ash to pick

The place is confusing, serious.
But we did manage the find the place

And Ash, ur specs look awesome on u!
:D
Oh and i had to go with Ash to change

And like ysd, we were rushing like
crazy again.
I was so tired!
Ok, i guess thats abt it.
Happy CNY everyone! :D
The performance in sch today was

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
— Isaiah 6:1

After you placed your food order at a popular fast food restaurant, the cashiers used to ask that famous question: “Would you like to supersize that?” In essence, they were asking the customers if they wanted more of what they were already getting.

In a similar way, when we come into God’s presence, I believe He asks us: “Would you like to enlarge your understanding of Me today?”

Isaiah had one such experience with God. Through a painful event in his life, Isaiah saw the Lord “high and lifted up” (Isa. 6:1). Through this encounter, God supersized Isaiah’s understanding of His holiness. He saw God’s complete moral excellence that unifies His attributes.

God also enlarged Isaiah’s realization of his own sin (v.5). This led to an expansion of his understanding of God’s complete forgiveness and cleansing (vv.6-7). Only when Isaiah understood the depth of his sin could he appreciate and accept forgiveness and cleansing from God. Finally, his encounter with God led to Isaiah’s declaration of availability and commitment to reach out to others and to help them increase their understanding of God (vv.8-9).

Let’s ask God to supersize our understanding of His greatness today.
— Marvin Williams

Oh, I want to know You, blessed Lord,

Wonderfully Made
READ: Psalm 139:7-16

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
— Psalm 139:14

A quote in George MacDonald’s book David Elginbrod speaks to those who wonder, at times, why God has made them the way they are—and who wish they were someone else.

Lady Emily muses: “I wish I were you, Margaret.”

Margaret answers: “If I were you, my lady, I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of. For to have been thought about—born in God’s thoughts—and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, most precious thing in all thinking.”

MacDonald may have had Psalm 139:17 in mind: “How precious . . . are Your thoughts to me, O God!” In this psalm, David is thinking about his conception, and vividly describes God’s thoughts as He wove him together in his mother’s womb, creating a unique and special individual to be the object of His love.

It’s a comforting thought to know that we’re not a terrible mistake, but a very special creation, “born in God’s thoughts.” David could stand before a mirror and say in all honesty and humility: “I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works” (v.14).

You are a designer original! As such, you are dear, grand, and precious to God.
— David H. Roper

Of all creation’s treasures rare,
Not one compares in worth with man;

Hey everyone!
So didnt post for a few
days, huh?
Anw, just to let u guys noe,
im not gonna post as often as
last time anymore.
Cuz this yr is serious business.
So i'll most probably post like
2 days once?
I guess thats enough to keep
my blog alive.
Anw, more abt today.
Well, woke up at abt 12pm.
Used the comp for a lil while
and got ready for tuition.
I have to go her place every sun,
btw.
So hadn tuition for abt 2.5h and
went hm aft tt.
Went out for dinner at tiong
today.
Ate at Ajisen Ramen.
YUMMY!
And nw im at hm currently watching
American Idol.
(:
LOVE IT!
3 more days b4 Season 8!
Cool huh?
N guess wad?
Its on the same day as my B'day too!
WEEE! ;D
I hope u guys have prepared ur presents.
Ok, kidding. (:
Im not tt greedy.
Haha.
Ok since i have nothing more
to say, BYEEE!

Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
— Psalm 66:5

The word awesome is tossed around a lot these days. Talk about cars, movies, songs, or food—and somebody will say, “That’s awesome!”

But if we call earth-side stuff awesome and then call God awesome, we diminish how truly awesome He is. A friend of mine has a rule in her house—the word awesome is reserved only for God.

Trivializing God is no trivial matter. He is far more than a companion who will fit into our “buddy system” or a divine ATM responding to our impulses. Until we are stunned by the awesomeness of God, we will be way too impressed with ourselves and lose the joy of the privilege of belonging to an awesome God.

A look at the Psalms puts it all in perspective. One psalmist declares, “For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth” (Ps. 47:2). And another psalm commands: “Say to God, ‘How awesome are Your works!’ . . . Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men” (Ps. 66:3,5).

What could be more awesome than the love that compelled Jesus to go to the cross for us? Put Him in His proper place as the only One who is truly awesome, and praise God for His awesome work in your life!
— Joe Stowell

Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
— Heber

If you’re too impressed with yourself, take a closer look at God’s awesomeness.

Judge not, that you be not judged.
— Matthew 7:1

What better way to tell people to mind their own business than to quote Jesus? People who seldom read the Bible are quick to quote Matthew 7:1 when they want to silence someone whose opinion they don’t like. “Judge not, that you be not judged” seems like the perfect response.

In context, however, the passage indicates that we are indeed to judge; we’re just supposed to avoid faulty judgments. Furthermore, our judgments are to begin with self: “First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye,” Jesus said (v.5). He then said, “Beware of false prophets” (v.15). This too requires judging—we need to be able to discern truth from falsehood.

Jesus used the metaphor of fruit to give us the proper criteria for judging. “By their fruits you will know them” (v.20). We are to judge people (including ourselves) by the quality of the fruit they produce. This fruit cannot be judged by earthly values such as how good we look (v.15). It must be judged by heavenly values—the fruit of the Spirit produced within us—love, joy, peace (Gal. 5:22).

Our tendency is to judge by appearance. But God judges by what we produce, and so should we.
— Julie Ackerman Link

They truly lead who lead by love
And humbly serve the Lord;
Their lives will bear the Spirit’s fruit
And magnify His Word.

Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
— Matthew 18:3

One Sunday I heard Mike talk about his relationship with his two fathers—the one who raised him as a child, and his Father in heaven.

First he described his childhood trust toward his earthly father as “simple and uncomplicated.” He expected his dad to fix broken things and to give advice. He dreaded displeasing him, however, because he often forgot that his father’s love and forgiveness always followed.

Mike continued, “Some years ago I made a mess of things and hurt a lot of people. Because of my guilt, I ended a happy, simple relationship with my heavenly Father. I forgot that I could ask Him to fix what I had broken and seek His advice.”

Years passed. Eventually Mike became desperate for God, yet he wondered what to do. His pastor said simply, “Say you’re sorry to God, and mean it!”

Instead, Mike asked complicated questions, like: “How does this work?” and “What if . . .?”

Finally his pastor prayed, “Please, God, give Mike the faith of a child!” Mike later testified joyfully, “The Lord did!”

Mike found closeness with his heavenly Father. The key for him and for us is to practice the simple and uncomplicated faith of a child.

Have you noticed that the childlike faith

Hey everyone!
So anw, didnt post for quite
a few days.
Wanna noe y?
Well, on fri night, when i
wanted to put my hw in my bag,
only to find out tt i couldnt
find my hw inside my file.
I spent like abt 1h searching
for it and still NOTHING.
So later i realised tt it was
accidentally thrown away by
my maid. D:
When i found out i was like so
sad man.
Cuz i spent like so much of my
time doing those hw and its not
lil u noe, it was like 3/4 of the
hw just thrown away.
That was y i had to spent the
whole of ysd trying to finish all
the hw.
But the good thing was, i did
manage to finish everything.
YAY! ;D
Ok, so enough abt tt.
Let me tell u bout the 1st day of sch.
Ok, so as usual, i woke up abt 6am
and got ready for sch.
It seemed to diff waking up so
early cuz u noe im very used to
only waking up around 1-2pm.
When i reached sch, it was still
pretty early n tt was kinda a gd
thing cuz i got to choose seats.
Then aft some time,
Ash came and she sat next to me.
Oh and guess wad?
Nw during assembly, we get
to sit at the top part of the hall!
And its so cool cuz we dun have to
like cross our legs and sit down
but we can seat on big steps which is
like way more comfy and better still,
we get to see alot more frm up there.
Ok, so for the rest of the day,
we didnt study at all.
Which is obviously i gd thing.
So we just chatted and stuff.
I think it was quite fun,
wasnt tt boring ... for me.
LOL.
But i was still looking forward to
go hm which is now pushed back to 2pm.
D':
Sad.
Oh but i was kinda freaked out when
Ms Ang told us abt the streaming for
this yr.
I soo hope tt i could be in the same
class as my frens man!
I cant imagine if i was like in
a whole diff class and there's like
nobody i noe.
Tt would be like a major nightmare.
Ok, but other than tt,
i had a good 1st day i guess.
(:
BYE! :D

Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need.
— Proverbs 25:16

When you walk into the bookstore and see a table filled with books on dieting, you know it must be January. After several weeks of overeating all kinds of holiday foods, people in many cultures turn their attention to not eating.

Food plays an important role in Scripture. God uses it not only to bless us but also to teach us. Our misuse of food keeps us from knowing God in ways He wants to be known.

In the Old Testament, God gave instructions to Adam as to what to eat and what not to eat (Gen. 2:16-17). Later He gave the Israelites manna to convince them that He was God and to test them to find out if they believed Him (Ex. 16:12; Deut. 8:16). In the New Testament, the apostle Paul stated the proper attitude for everything we do, including eating: “Whether you eat or drink, . . . do all to the glory of God”
(1 Cor. 10:31).

When we think of food as a friend that comforts us or an enemy that makes us fat, we miss the wonder of receiving with gratitude a splendid gift from God. Obsessive eating or not eating indicates that we are focused on the gift rather than on the Giver, which is a form of idolatry.

When eating becomes a true act of worship, we will no longer worship food.
— Julie Ackerman Link

You alone are worthy, Lord,
To be worshiped and adored;
We to You our tribute bring
As our hearts rejoice and sing.
— Hess

When food becomes our god, our appetite for the Bread of Life is diminished.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
— Ecclesiastes 3:1

The Rev. Gardner Taylor has been called “the dean of American preaching.” Born in Louisiana in 1918, the grandson of slaves, he overcame the segregation of his youth to become the pastor of a large New York congregation and a leader in the struggle for racial equality. For 6 decades he traveled the world as a much sought-after preacher.

But at age 89, Rev. Taylor’s health gave way and he could no longer accept speaking engagements. He told Rachel Zoll of the Associated Press: “I at first felt rather crestfallen.” But then he spoke of his belief that “there are seasons and eras, and we have to see what they are as best as we can, and to find what is positive in them.”

In an effort to face the challenges of life, we often turn to Solomon’s words: “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” (Eccl. 3:1). But we readily admit that we would rather laugh than weep, dance than mourn, and gain than lose (vv.4,6).

Yet we know that as we embrace the lessons and opportunities of every season that comes to us, we find that “God is our refuge and strength” (Ps. 46:1).

Whatever season we’re in, it’s always the season to trust in Him.
— David C. McCasland

Just as the winter turns to spring,
Our lives have changing seasons too;
So when a gloomy forecast comes,
Remember—God has plans for you.

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
— Isaiah 43:1

Hours before 2007 began, some friends of ours in the UK were aboard their boat, anticipating the arrival of the new year, when a violent storm struck. But they were able to send us this reassuring note: “John and Linda are sitting on board the good ship Norna, and happy to say that we are secure. . . . The wind is storm force ten [48-55 knots]. Hope that all of you have a happy and prosperous new year.”

Jesus’ disciples also encountered a stormy experience. They were on the Sea of Galilee when a windstorm whipped up (Mark 6:48). The storm was so violent that despite being experienced fishermen who knew the lake well, they feared for their lives. But Jesus walked out to them and saved them.

No one can predict with certainty how stormy the new year will be. We do know, though, that everyone will face storms. But we who have Jesus have our future securely moored to Him. Jesus, who did not fail us in the past, will not fail us in the future.

Lewis Edgar Jones aptly described our situation in his old hymn:

I’ve anchored in Jesus, the storms of life I’ll brave;
I’ve anchored in Jesus, I’ll fear no wind or wave.
I’ve anchored in Jesus, for He hath power to save;
I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages!

How will you fare in the storms of the new year? If you’re anchored in Jesus, you have nothing to fear.
— C. P. Hia

Faith in Christ will keep us steady in the stormy sea of change.

Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
— Psalm 85:6

While working my way through graduate school, I taught five-string banjo in a music store. The job provided me with the opportunity to buy a brand-new, professional-quality instrument for nearly half-price.

That was over 30 years ago, and that banjo has accompanied me on ministry efforts around the world. But despite its excellent craftsmanship, eventually it needed to be refurbished. A master repairman pointed out how imperfections had worn into the banjo. He was confident that his repairs would result in the instrument sounding better than new.

I wasn’t disappointed. The action on the strings and the clarity of the sound are astonishingly superior to its original condition when I purchased the instrument.

In a way, our lives are like musical instruments intended for “the praise of the glory of [God’s] grace” (Eph. 1:6). But over time, life wears us down. Our hearts cry out for renewal. The psalmist prayed: “Will You not revive us again?” (Ps. 85:6). The Hebrew word for revive means not only “to restore and refresh” but also “to repair.”

It’s vital that we submit our souls to the Master’s restorative touch. Why not set aside some time for spiritual retreat, and ask the Lord to repair your heart?
— Dennis Fisher

Revive us again—
Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above.

Time in Christ’s service requires time out for renewal.

Hey everyone!
Well, had a very productive
day today.
Went shopping for my birthday
present! ;D
I count tt as very productive
since i got something. (:
Anw, went to Bugis at abt 3pm.
Aft tt walked around and stuff.
We walked for like such a long
time cuz i really couldnt find
the something tt i really liked.
So in the end, i decided to buy
this Billabong bag for $60.
I think it was quite nice.
But i felt tt it's a lil too
small tho.
Actually, i was kinda thinking abt
buying this white Guess bag instead.
Which was $119 n on sale.
But it was like so heavy when there's
nothing inside and it looked
like kinda old and dirty so i decided
not to buy tt and bought
the billabong bag instead (:
So aft buying the bag, which is like
5+?
We went to get something to drink
and walked around for a lil bit
more and decided to go hm.
Ok, bye! (:

Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.
— Jeremiah 15:16

Grocery shopping with my wife, Martie, is like taking a seminar in nutrition. I’ll often pick up a box of something that looks good, and she’ll say: “Look at the label. Are there trans-fats? What’s the calorie count? How about the cholesterol rating?” I have to confess that if she weren’t the nutrition cop in my life, I’d look like Shamu the whale!

More important than making good choices in the grocery store is thinking carefully about the food we digest for our souls. I love the verse that says: “Your words were found, and I ate them” (Jer. 15:16).

When we read God’s Word, we have to be doing more than checking it off our to-do list. We have to read it to digest it. Slow, thoughtful absorption of the Word of God with quiet reflection on its implications is high in nutrition. His Word provides all the ingredients we need to thrive spiritually:

a direct connection to the sustainer of our soul
brain food that makes us wise and discerning
a daily check-up revealing the condition of our hearts
preventive medicine keeping us from sin
a spiritual shower of peace, hope, and comfort
Eat God’s Word. It’s a spiritual feast!
— Joe Stowell

God’s Word provides the nourishment
That Christians need if we’re to grow;
But if we do not feast on it,
A vibrant faith we’ll never know.

Hey everyone!
Well, today was GREAT! ;D
Had so fun. (:
So woke up at abt 12.50.
I noe, LATE.
Was supposed to meet YL & WQ
at 2 but since i woke up
so late, had to meet them
at 2.30 instead.
Haha.
So suddenly YL called my hp
and said tt they were already
downstairs my hse.
N asked me to go down quicky.
Then aft tt wq was like nvm,
just tell the security guard
wad's my unit no. n he'll
let them in.
And yes, she was right.
Haha, wq, so smart huh? ;D
Ok, so aft tt, when i wanted
to go fetch them frm downstairs,
guess wad?
They were already at my hse.
It was super shocking man.
But i knew i heard laughing
when i opened my door. (:
Anw, so aft tt, they came in
and we went to the room and
played with the laptops.
We were planning on watching
twilight on the comp at 1st
but ended up doing something
else.
Haha.
It was fun chatting with Datina
on MSN! ;D
So later we oso played SIMS 2
and it was fun!
YL is like so pro at it? (:
And yea, we oso watched
Suite Life on Deck on disney
channel.
I some how preferred the old one.
Oh and halfway through, wq got
hungry so we decided to go down
and buy sometihng to eat.
There're only snacks at my hse
and wq wanted something hot so yea.
;D
Anw, at abt 7pm, wq gotta go back 1st
cuz her dad was already downstairs
my house.
YL stayed longer to play sims.
Haha, i think she stayed till bout
almost 8. ;D
Had so much fun with u guys today!
Going to YL's hse on wed again.
AKA the day b4 New Yr's Day!
WEE!
I love them loads! ♥
Oh and 1 more thing.
I changed my blogskin! LOL.
Seems familiar?
Well, its the same one as Wq's. ;D
BYE!

I sought the Lord, and He heard me.
— Psalm 34:4

Mallory doesn’t feel loved by God. She received Jesus as her Savior several years ago and is confident that she is forgiven and will spend eternity with Him. She believes what God says in His Word, but she would also like to feel loved.

Her friends give her what she thinks is a pat answer: “It’s not about feelings! Just believe and the feelings will come later.” She says, “Okay, but when is later?” She believes she’s “feelings-deficient.”

God created us in His image to have emotions, so the longing to feel loved is legitimate and good. One way that many of us sense we’re loved is when someone talks with us and listens to us.

God provides those needs in our relationship with Him too. He speaks through His Word to our heart (Heb. 4:12), and He wants us to pour out our heart to Him about everything (Ps. 62:8)—even our longing to feel His love. Besides a relationship with Him, He daily gives us our breath, clothing, food, and shelter. Like the psalmist, we can find Him to be our “rock” and “refuge” as we trust Him (vv.2,7).

God loves us. Now, we walk by faith. One day, when we’re in His very presence, we’ll never again be feelings-deficient.
— Anne Cetas

Thinking It Through
Read these passages about God’s love for you:
Jeremiah 31:3; John 15:9-11; 1 John 4:9-10.
What can you thank God for today?

Knowing that God loves us comes by faith; feeling His love for us comes by relationship.

After the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
— 1 Kings 19:12

Almost everyone will at some time in their life be affected by depression, either their own or someone else’s. Some common signs and symptoms of depression include feelings of hopelessness, pessimism, worthlessness, and helplessness. Although we cannot say for certain that characters in the Bible experienced depression, we can say that some did exhibit a deep sense of despondency, discouragement, and sadness that is linked to personal powerlessness and loss of meaning and enthusiasm for life.

Elijah is one biblical character who fits this description. After defeating the prophets of Baal, he received a death threat from Jezebel. His hope was shattered, and despondency set in. He wanted to die! God helped Elijah deal with his despondency in several ways. The Lord did not rebuke him for his feelings but sent an angel to provide for his physical needs. Then, the Lord revealed Himself and reminded Elijah that He was quietly working among His people. Next, He renewed Elijah’s mission by giving him new orders. Finally, God reminded Elijah that he wasn’t alone.

In our times of discouragement, let us remember that God loves us and desires to lead us to a place of a renewed vision of Himself!
— Marvin Williams

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.

Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
— 2 Corinthians 8:9

I have a piece of old plaster on my desk that comes from the ancient site of the Herodium in the land of Israel. It reminds me of the humility of our Lord Jesus.

Herodium was a lavish residence that served as King Herod’s summer palace, a sumptuous villa with opulent apartments furnished for the royal family and their guests. It boasted a Roman bath with hot and cold pools, surrounded by colonnaded gardens.

It’s said that Herod built his palace to commemorate a victory in battle, but knowing Herod’s selfish ambition it’s possible he had another purpose in mind. Some have conjectured that Herod, despite inquiring of the scribes (Matt. 2:4-6), knew about Micah’s prediction that Israel’s Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. He may have wanted Israel’s King to be born in his palace.

The Father’s plan, however, was for our Lord to be born not in a castle but in a cave. It was in a lowly manger that the little Lord Jesus was born.

This is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, “Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich” (2 Cor. 8:9). This is the gift of lavish salvation—of all gifts, the greatest gift that you and I will ever receive.
— David H. Roper

He did not use a silvery box
Or paper green and red;
God laid His Christmas gift to me
Within a manger bed.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross.
— Hebrews 12:2

As a boy, I was fascinated by the book The Invisible Man. The main character played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek, staying just out of reach of mere mortals “cursed” with a visible nature. To have a physical presence, he wore clothes and wrapped his face in bandages. When it was time to escape, he simply removed everything and disappeared.

I wonder if we have similar thoughts about our unseen God. We feel He is beyond our reach and express it in song with one of my favorite hymns:

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible
Hid from our eyes.

Yet, while declaring the wonder of God, the hymn speaks of a God who is not just invisible:

All praise we would render—O help us to see
’Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

We perceive that God is distant, far off, inaccessible, and hidden. But we need a God who is accessible, and we wonder how to have a meaningful relationship with Him.

We will never fully comprehend what God is like. Yet He Himself is accessible to us. In part, that is why Jesus came—to “show us the Father” (John 14:8-11) and to bring us close to Him, because “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation” (Col. 1:15).

Our God is an invisible God, beyond our limited comprehension. Thankfully, Jesus came to show us how near to us He really is.
— Bill Crowder

God’s presence with us is His greatest present to us.

They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light.
— Revelation 22:5

December is a month when people celebrate miracles. The Jewish tradition of Hanukkah—the Holiday of Lights—commemorates the time when a small amount of oil lasted 8 days and kept the light in the temple from going out. And Christmas celebrates the coming of the “Light of the World,” God in human form—Jesus.

A miracle is generally thought of as something that contradicts nature. But a true miracle is the introduction of God’s supernatural power into our world in a way that suspends the laws of physics as we understand them.

In December, it seems that more of us are willing to suspend disbelief and entertain the possibility that “nature” is not the final authority. Even the non-religious yearn for miracles. Deep down, everyone wants to believe that darkness, disease, and death can be overcome.

Perhaps the most wondrous thing about miracles is that it is God’s nature to do the supernatural. The closing chapters of Scripture assure us that this “December desire” for all to be well will become a reality: “There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain” (Rev. 21:4). God will one day bring to an end the unnatural rule of Satan and begin His righteous reign as the rightful Ruler of the universe.
— Julie Ackerman Link

Thank You, Lord, that although we live in a world
where Satan’s shadow obscures Your glorious light,
we eagerly anticipate the day when Your full glory will once again illuminate all creation. Amen.

A miracle needs no explanation to those who believe in God; to those who don’t, no explanation is enough.

This Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel . . . that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
— Luke 2:34-35

One of our most beloved Christmas carols was written in 1865 by William Dix, an Englishman who managed a maritime insurance company and loved to write hymns. Sung to the English melody “Greensleeves,” some versions use the latter half of the first verse as a chorus for the other verses:

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard
and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring Him laud—
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

But in other versions, each stanza is unique. The second verse, rarely sung today, looks beyond the manger to the cross:

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here,
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Simeon said to Mary, “This Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed”
(Luke 2:34-35).

The Child of Christmas came to be our Savior. “Joy, joy for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary.”
— David C. McCasland

The birth of Christ brought God to man; the cross of Christ brings man to God.

Hey everyone.
Well, im back to S'pore!
:D
Anyways, woke up at abt
7am today and i was
like super tired.
Cuz i only slept at 2am
last night.
So yeap, only slept for 5h.
Believe it or not.
So aft i woke up, did
some last min packing and
went to the airport.
Since there wasnt any
traffic jam, (very rare for tt to happen in bkk)
We arrived in abt half an
hour's time. (:
Aft checking in and stuff,
went to this lounge and walked
around a lil.
Then we went on the airplane.
The flight was pretty cool.
Watched the
'Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants 2'
It was great.
But i didnt get to finish
watching the whole movie!!
D:
Im so sad. ):
Haha, oh and i had like
a mega ear puff on the plane.
My ears practically hurt so
badly!
And i couldnt hear anything
at all.
D:
This is the 1st time somthing
like this happened.
I guess it has somthing
to do with my flu?
Hmm..
Ok, anyways, no more to say
so BYEEE! :D

God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.”
— Genesis 1:26

The word whodunit is actually in the dictionary. It means “detective story.” The most important whodunit of all time is the question of creation.

Some people wish the Bible said, “In the beginning, God wasn’t needed.” To them, it’s unacceptable to say, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1), or “Let Us make man in Our image” (v.26).

Instead, they believe that after an explosion of energy and matter, somehow an atmosphere conducive to life was formed. Then, single-celled organisms morphed into the exceedingly complex life forms we have today.

No need for God, they say, for it all happened naturally. On an earth and in an atmosphere not of anyone’s making, forces with a blueprint designed by no one joined together to place the earth perfectly for life to thrive.

What we do with “In the beginning God” is at the center of it all. We must either believe His Word—and everything His Word claims—or we must believe that our meaningless lives resulted from an accidental, mindless chain reaction. What a stark contrast to “Let Us make man in Our image”!

In the beginning. Was it God? Or was it chance? Our answer to this whodunit reveals whether or not we truly worship the awesome God of creation.

We may treat ourselves and others as having no worth. But remember, God doesn’t make nobodies. Like Moses, if we surrender to God, we can do anything God wants us to do—in His strength.

Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.
— Romans 5:20

Pastor Louie was preaching on the pervasiveness of sin. “It’s everywhere!” he stated emphatically. He told about waiting for a traffic light when he saw the man in the car in front of him finish his Coke, open the door, set the glass bottle on the street, and drive away.

“That was wrong!” Louie said. “It was a selfish sin! He could have caused someone to have a flat tire or even an accident.” We don’t typically think of littering as sin, but it is clear evidence of our inherent selfishness.

Later, as Louie was greeting people by the door, a Bible professor at a local Christian university said quietly as he walked by, “Sin puts the bottle on the street, but grace picks it up.”

Now, many years later, Louie has not forgotten the lesson of that scriptural principle. It comes right out of Romans 5, one of the most uplifting texts in the Bible describing the grace of God. Adam’s transgression brought sin into the world (v.12), and its consequences spread to all people. But God responded with grace, offering forgiveness through His Son to all who choose to believe. The human race sinned, and God answered with abounding grace (v.20).

God does much more than just “pick up the bottle,” He cleanses the heart of the transgressor!
— David C. Egner

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?
— Johnston

Confession of sin is the soil in which forgiveness flourishes.

2008-12-06T17:31:00.002+08:00

Do You Believe This???

A girl went to her friends house and she
ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.

She wasn't afraid because it was a small COMMUNITY and she lived
only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the bike trail
Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.

When she
reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided
to take it.

However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man
standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.

She became
uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.

Instantly a
comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her,
she felt as though someone was walking with her.

When she reached
the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived
home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper
that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty
minutes after she had been there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this
tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to
weep.

Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young
woman, she decided to go to the police station.

She felt she could
recognize the man, so she told them her story.

The police asked
her if she would be willing to look at a line-up to see if she could
identify him.

She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she
had seen in the alley the night before.

When the man was told he
had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.

The
officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was
anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man
one question.

Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, 'Because she wasn't
alone.

She had two tall men walking on either side of her.

Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're not alone.
People will not stand up for God..

Pass this on if you truly believe in God....

PS: God is always
there in your heart and loves you no matter what:

'If you deny me in
front of your friends, I shall deny you in front of my Father'

STAND UP FOR HIM. 93% of people wont pass this on....
Will you be one of them?

My earnest expectation and hope [is] that . . . Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
— Philippians 1:20

Expectations! We all have them. We expect that people will be nice to us, that we’ll have good health, great marriages, faithful friends, successful careers. But what do we do when life doesn’t live up to our expectations? In Philippians 1, Paul shows us the way. He faced broken expectations of place, people, and the future, yet he remained surprisingly upbeat.

Paul was stuck in prison—not a great place to be! When we get stuck in a tough marriage, an unrewarding job, or a challenging neighborhood, it’s easy to get discouraged. But Paul was wonderfully positive. He said that his suffering helped to advance the gospel (Phil. 1:12).

Maybe people haven’t lived up to our expectations. Paul likely expected other believers to encourage him. Instead, some were actually glad he was in jail and were preaching out of “envy and strife” (v.15). Paul’s response? “Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice” (v.18).

Maybe it’s an uncertain future—the loss of a spouse, a job transfer, or a health crisis. Paul knew that at any moment Nero might give the order for his execution, yet he declared, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (v.21).

Adopt Paul’s only expectation—for Christ to be honored no matter what!
— Joe Stowell

In all I think and say and do,
I long, O God, to honor You;
But may my highest motive be
To love the Christ who died for me.
— D. De Haan

You can expect to enjoy God’s presence when you honor Him with your life.

What are you passionate about? Paul’s passion for people was fueled by the love of Christ—and ours should be as well. Let’s apply Twain’s words of challenge to our efforts in outreach: “Sail away from the safe harbor.” Share the love of Christ with someone today.

Set us afire, Lord, stir us we pray!
While the world perishes, we go our way
Purposeless, passionless, day after day;
Set us afire, Lord, stir us we pray!

Talking to Christ about others helps us to talk to others about Christ.

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! —Psalm 100:1

Psalm 100 is one of the great songs of thanksgiving in the Bible. It calls us to realize that we belong to God our Maker (vv.3-4), and to praise Him for His goodness, mercy, and truth (v.5).

During a recent reading, however, I was struck by a phrase that speaks of expressing thanks in a tangible, willing way: “Serve the Lord with gladness” (v.2). Many times my service to God is more grudging than glad. I do what I consider my duty, but I’m not happy about it.

Oswald Chambers put his finger on my unthankful attitude when he said: “The will of God is the gladdest, brightest, most bountiful thing possible to conceive, and yet some of us talk of the will of God with a terrific sigh—‘Oh well, I suppose it is the will of God,’ as if His will were the most calamitous thing that could befall us. . . . We become spiritual whiners and talk pathetically about ‘suffering the will of the Lord.’ Where is the majestic vitality and might of the Son of God about that!”

True thankfulness is more than being grateful for what we possess. It’s an attitude that permeates our relationship with the Lord so that we may serve Him with gladness and joy.
— David C. McCasland

Then let us adore and give Him His right,
All glory and power, all wisdom and might,
All honor and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing for infinite love.
— Wesley

For the Christian, thanksgiving is not just a day but a way of life.

Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.”
— John 8:34

I’m a “catch and release” fisherman, which means I don’t kill the trout I catch, but net and handle them gently and set them free. It’s a technique that ensures “sustainability,” as conservation officers like to say, and keeps trout and other target species from disappearing in heavily fished waters.

I rarely release a trout without recalling Paul’s words about those who have been “taken captive” by Satan to do his will (2 Tim. 2:26), for I know that our adversary the devil does not catch and release but captures to consume and destroy.

We may think we can deliberately sin in a limited way for a short period of time and then get ourselves free. But as Jesus teaches us, “Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin” (John 8:34). Even “little” sins lead to greater and greater unrighteousness. Sin becomes the consequence of sin. We find ourselves entrapped and enslaved, and like a luckless trout, we cannot wriggle free.

Sin enslaves us. But when we yield ourselves in obedience to Christ and call upon Him for the strength to do His will, we are “released.” The result is increasing righteousness (Rom. 6:16).

Jesus assures us, “If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
— David H. Roper

Christ broke the bonds of sin, that I
Might know His strong eternal tie;
This blood-bought liberty I bring
To be Your bond-slave, Master-King.
— F. Hess

Christ releases us from sin’s slavery into salvation’s liberty.

As Jacob did in Genesis 28, I like to remind myself each morning when I awaken that God is here, “in this place,” present with me (v.16). As I spend time with Him each morning, reading His Word and responding in prayer, it reinforces my sense of His presence—that He is near. Although we do not see Him, Peter reminds us that we can love Him and rejoice in His love for us with “inexpressible,” glorious joy (1 Peter 1:8).

We take the Lord’s presence with us all through the day, blending work and play with prayer. He is our teacher, our philosopher, our companion—our gentle, kind, and very best friend.

God is with us wherever we go. He is in the commonplace, whether we know it or not. “Surely the Lord is in this place,” Jacob said of a most unlikely spot, “and I did not know it” (Gen. 28:16). We may not realize He is close by. We may feel lonely and sad. Our day may seem bleak and dreary without a visible ray of hope—yet He is present.

Amid all the clamor and din of this visible and audible world, listen carefully for God’s quiet voice. Listen to Him in the Bible. Talk to Him frequently in prayer. Look for Him in your circumstances. Seek Him. He is with you wherever you go!
— David H. Roper

Oh, how oft I wake and find
I have been forgetting Thee!
I am never from Thy mind;
Thou it is that wakest me.
— MacDonald

Our greatest privilege is to enjoy God’s presence.

Hey everyone!
Here to blog.
Posting earlier than usual
today.
I think thats cuz didnt
do anything much at all
today.
Woke up at like 11+?
And aft tt went to see the
Doctor cuz i was down with
the flu. D:
Aft tt, came back and had lunch.
Played a lil of wii and here
i am using the comp nw.
LOL.
Cant believe tt this is such
a boring boring day.
Ok, since i have nothing more
to say, bye then! ;D

One of the most important events in Jewish history is the exodus, when God freed His people from the bondage of Egypt. Prior to leaving Egypt, the Israelites were commanded to eat a special meal called the Passover. As an act of judgment upon the Egyptians, God said that He would strike down every firstborn son, but He would pass over the houses that had the blood of a lamb on the top and sides of the door frame (Ex. 12).

To commemorate this act of judgment and grace, God’s people would share in the Passover meal. God said that one day their children would ask: “What do you mean by this?” They were then responsible to retell the story of the exodus and God’s salvation. God did not want the story of His great salvation to get lost in one generation.

When our children ask us about our values, lifestyle, prayer in decision-making, Bible-reading, church attendance, and worship, we have a responsibility to answer them. We are followers of Jesus. We must retell the story of how He became our Passover Lamb. His blood is the marker over our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin but are free to serve the Eternal One of heaven.

What are you teaching the children?
— Marvin Williams

How great, O God, Your acts of love!
Your saving deeds would proclaim
That generations yet to come
May set their hope in Your great name.

and went for dinner aft tt.
Then we came back and here
i am nw.
Ok, so bye! ;D

If you’re thinking, He may come back for others, but surely not for me, don’t miss verse 17: “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.” Anyone is welcome to join the wedding feast. All we have to do is believe in the One who died for us, Jesus Christ, the Lover of our souls.

Make no mistake, the place—heaven—will be incredible beyond our dreams. But our greatest joy will be the experience of being with Jesus forever!

Hey everyone!
Ok, just came back frm
the movie.
Oh and i watched HSM3!
Its super nice man! (:
So i met with jw at
around 4pm to go to
the movie together.
Its a good thing we met
early cuz the movie was
actually at 4.20 but we
tot tt it was at 4.40
u see.
So yeap.
We managed to get the seats
in the middle which was awesome.
Cuz i cannot stand watching
the movie so close to the
screen.
So we then decided to buy
the pop corn combo which costs
$8.80 and it consists of a
large pop corn with a bottle
of coke zero.
But then Jw said tt the coke zero
is actually poisonous so we
decided to change it into
the normal coke.
When we finished buying, we
could already go into the cinema.
There were like LOADS of kids
there.
Like most ppl there were ppl
ranging frm 5-teenagers.
There were some adults but they're
just mothers hu accompany their
kids. (:
So in the beginning there was
something wrong with the sound
and we could not hear anything.
Like all we could hear was some
annoying buzzing sound. D:
And then like they kept showing
advertisements for like 20mins?!
Then this guy oso had to stand infront
of the screen to check the sound
i tihnk.
Then when the movie started,
me and jw were like finally.
Yea, but other than tt, the
movie was GREAT!
It was touching at the end
like wq said.
Ashley tisdale and Vannesa hudgens
looked pretty.
Zac efron was ok-ish. ;D
Oh and btw, the songs were nice
as well! (:
I would definately buy the soundtrack.
But does any1 noe isit out yet?
Ok, anyways, the movie ended
like at 6.30 and me and jw
went to 'more than words'
aft tt.
Cuz jw wanted to buy a present
for her fren.
She bought this cute hp holder.
Ok, then aft we went hm.
And here i am nw, blogging.
Ok, bye then! {:

Hey everyone!
Right came hm frm the
class chalet at around
11 am.
Man, im like super super
sleepy man! D:
Cuz guess wad?
I only slept for 1h last night.
And yea, i did kinda took a
nap in the bus but it was
only for 30mins?!
Like thats NOT gonna help.
So let me tell u guys more abt
the class chalet then.
Day 1:
Right, so i woke up at 8.44am tt
day.
Cuz i wanted to watch frens
in the morning.
But i missed like 44mins of it cuz
it started at 8am.
So watched frens till 9am and
decided to go to slp for a
lil longer.
I tihnk i woke up at 11am and
i started brushing my teeth and
having my breakfast.
I then decided to use the comp
awhiile cuz it was still pretty
early.
I decided to watch the 44 mins of
frens tt i missed on the internet.
Cuz otherwise i wont be able to
understand the whole show.
And while watching frens, i was
oso chatting to kajal cuz she was
coincidentally on9 then too!
So we kinda talked more bout
frens and the class chalet like
wad we were gonna do and stuff.
So i tihnk i kinda stopped at 11.30
and i went to pack my stuff then.
My mum and maid helped me with it.
So i was packing for bout 20 mins
and i went to bathe.
By the time i finished bathing,
it was already pretty late so i
just quickly ate my lunch and
left ASAP cuz i was oso meeting
kajal at the bus stop.
So when i reached to the bus stop,
guess hu i saw?
Mr tan! I was so scared and i
quickly ran away.
But the thing was, i didnt noe
where i was running too so i
called kajal and told her wad
happened.
She told me to go to the opp
bus stop cuz she's actually
alghting there.
Everyone was mostly there when
we reached sch.
Me, kajal & felicia gotta go
see ms ang cuz i gotta get
my report bk and Fel gotta
put the ice she bought into kajal's
igloo box.
I was kinda sad at the beginning
cuz we didnt get to choose our own
grps.
But on the bus, we get to lucky
draw to see who would we share
rooms with.
And guess wad?
It was so lucky!
I got to stay with kajal and Jia yi.
When we reached to the chalet, we just
walked around and set up the BBQ
immediately.
The food was kinda nice and i especially
LOVED the otah!
It was so awesome! (:
Aft the BBQ, we kinda celebrated
Oct/Nov/Dec b'days.
I havent buy Kajal and Jia yi
their presents yet.
So sorry u guys! D:
We then started playing games
next.
The 1st game was something like
dodge ball but we decided to use
water bombs instead.
It was kinda fun and the good
thing was, i didnt get tt wet!
We oso played the
"pinyadta" (dunno the spelling!)
and it was fun too.
In the end, our grp got the
most sweets so we won! (:
Yay! :D
We then went to bathe aft tt.
Jia yi n Kajal made me bathe
1st so i had no choice.
I bathed much quicker than usual.
But Jia yi and Kajal were still
faster than me i tihnk.
So aft bathing, we still continued
playing some more games.
One was the pictionary one and
the other was the pass the parcel
one.
Both were fun but i preferred the
pass the parcel game cuz its pretty
exciting. {:
Aft the games, we then had our
freedom and we could do anything
we liked!
I felt tt this was the most fun
part. ;D
We went to Rm 2 to play
'blind mice' with the others for
awhile.
I decided to leave only till
i was the blind mice.
Oh and since our rm has only
3 ppl, we decided to ask
Ms ang whether Flo could move in
with us and she said ok so we
were all kinda happy.
So for the whole night, me, kajal
and Jia yi slept only for like 1h.
Actually i slept a lil more cuz
Jia yi and Kajal woke up 1st then
they went to other rooms.
But then i woke up not long
aft cuz they then woke us up aft
awhile.
Oh we oso called Ash a few times
cuz we were kinda bored.
The only sad thing bout the chalet
was tt Ash wasnt with us and we
would have so much more fun with
her! :D
But yea, her doctor said she couldnt
come cuz she wont be able to slp
properly or sometihng.
LOL.
Day 2:
We ate our breakfast
at 8 am.
And we were oso watching Oprah
on channel 5 at the same time.
I bet tt ppl only wanted to watch
it cuz the Jonas bro were there.
Kajal kept insisting tt Joe jonas'
teeth are yellow.
Haha.
OK then aft tt, we went for
this walk to changi beach.
It was ok but i didnt like the
part where there were so many
red ants!
Like so many of them were crawling
into my slippers! D:
I was freaked out.
So later ms ang said tt we could
choose to play at the beach or go
back to the chalet.
I decided to go back cuz my leg
was all dirty with leaves.
Then while walking back, we kinda
got lost and we didnt really noe
where to go.
And mind u, it was a long
walk.
It was soo NOT 50m! D:
Ok, nothing much happened aft
tt, we just sat on the bus and
went back hm.
& Im so so TIRED! ):
And if u wanna see the pics,
u can go to my facebook.
Here's the link:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2009190&l=f9477&id=1003500835
Cuz im kinda lazy to upload it
here.

Hey everyone!
Ok, right.
So as some of you may
noe, tmr's the class
chalet! :D
Well, today was kinda fun
anyways.
Went out with wq and jw!
Missed them load! (:
So me and Jw went to meet
up at macs at 2pm 1st.
We decided to have lunch
at mos burger.
Wq was still at band so she
asked us to eat 1st.
Right so aft me and Jw finished
lunch, wq oso finished her
band in time! [:
We decided to meet at the
bus stop opp. tiong bahru
plaza cuz thats where the bus
to plaza sing is.
So we met wq there aft a while.
The bus then came aft tt and
while on the bus, we just
chatted loads. (:
So when we reached to plaza sing,
we decided to go and book
the movie tickets 1st.
We decided to watch "MAMA MIA"
cuz it was just at the right
time. (4pm)
Since it was still kinda early
then, we decided to walk around
the place.
Wq decided to buy some food but
then she threw most of them
away cuz she said they tasted
disgusting cuz of the onions!
Haha.
Ok, so aft tt, we just went back
to the cinema and bought snacks.
I shared pop corn and a large
coke with them.
And wq and hw bought an extra
cheesy hot dog each.
The movie was pretty funny.
They sang loads of songs.
One of the famous ones would
be "MAMA MIA".
LOL.
Anyway, we were like laughing
the whole way through the movie.
Aft we came out, it was already 6pm.
We then walked around for a lil
longer and decided to have dinner.
We ate pizza hut in the end.
It was the very 1st time i've
eaten in a restaurant with frens!
Since it was rather expensive,
we did our very best to order
as wisely as possible.
In the end, we ordered 2
6' pan pizzas.
One hawaiin and the other
pepperoni.
It was really yummy!
But we were still not tt full tho.
So in the end, we each had to
pay around $6 each and thats
inclusive of tax and GST! ;D
I felt tt it was quite reasonable.
Hehe.
Ok, since we werent all tt full,
we decided to go to macs to have
ice cream.
Each of us bought a choco cone
each which btw, costs only $1!
WEE! {:
OK, aft tt we just went hm.
Cuz it was already like 7.40 by
then.
So i reached hm by around 8.20
and i managed to watch a lil
of "FRIENDS" (:
Ok, bye for nw!

So we had PE 1st.
We played "wipe out" today.
Wad we had to do is divide ourselves
into 4 diff groups.
My grp consisted of Kajal, Flo, Esther,
Jasmine, Jess, Clarice, Sneha and Pen!
So Pen is the leader of the grp.
I was supposed to be the cheerleader but
i didnt want to so in the end kajal
was the cheerleader instead.
Then i was the time keeper instead.
And Esther was the person who blows
the whistle.
I forgot wad tt was called.

Ok, bye for nw! ;D

Oh and pls read this!

He shall dwell between His shoulders. —Deuteronomy 33:12

Our family likes to hike, and we’ve had some grand adventures together. But when our boys were small, our enthusiasm caused us to walk too fast and too far, and their legs often grew weary. They couldn’t keep up the pace, despite their determined efforts and our assurance that the end of the trail was just over the next hill.

“Dad,” would come the plaintive request, accompanied by upraised arms, “will you carry me?” “Of course,” I would reply, and hoist the child on my shoulders. He was not a burden, for he was little and light.

How often, like my children, I’ve grown weary, and the end of my efforts is not even in sight. I can no longer keep up or accomplish the task. But I am learning that I can turn with arms upraised to my heavenly Father, who walks beside me, and I can ask Him to carry me.

I know He will lay me on His shoulder as a shepherd carries the lamb that was lost (Luke 15:5). There He will joyfully carry me all day long, for I am little and light—no burden to Him. There I find rest, for “the beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him, who shelters him all the day long; and he shall dwell between His shoulders” (Deut. 33:12). — David H. Roper

Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you—
He will carry you through. —Palmer

The God who holds the universe is the God who is holding you.

Hey everyone!
Ok, sorry bout the seriously
short post ysd.
So im here to post nw.
Here, in sch.
Haha;
Isnt tt cool?
Its like our exams are over
and we could do anything we
wanna do on our TPCs!
WEE! (:
Right, so more abt today.
Lets see, we had eng 1st.
But we didnt study much cuz
the exams are over and everything.
So wad we did was just play
on our TPCs.
Oh and we oso did this video thingy
today!
Haha, its so funny!
We had to pretend we're running
infront of the camera.
Only our class had to do it tho.
But come to think abt it,
it was actually even more tiring
than the usual mass run.
But yea, wadever.
So aft eng was math.
Mr Tan actually wanted to go
through the paper but all of us
didnt want him to.
So in the end, we got to do wadever
we liked!
Ok, so recess was next i tihnk.
So yea, next was CME.
Instead, Ms Ang used this time to
discuss more abt our class chalet.
So im gonna bring 2 large
aluminium trays.
Wow, HEAVY!
I wanted to choose to bring matchsticks
at 1st.
But then Dot took it.
Then i wanted to choose satay sticks
but then some one else took it.
Then i wanted to bring paper plates
but then Ming En took it i think.
So in the end i had no choice but to
bring 2 large aluminium trays.
Ok, so thats abt it.
We're currently in class doing
pretty much nothing.
Ok, bye then!

Walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

2008-10-20T22:22:00.002+08:00

Hey everyone!
Right, 3 days since i've
posted.
Ok, i gotta keep this post
really short cuz i gotta
go really soon.
So today was alright.
We didnt do much today.
Just played on our TPCs.
Me, kajal and Ash did this
podcast thing and its pretty
cool.
To cut it short, i had dance aft
that and its pretty much wad
i did.
Ok, bye!

Wait and, in waiting, listen for His leading;

Hey everyone.
Ok, man, im so lazy to post.
But yea, wadever it takes to
keep my blog alive.
So we didnt do much today.
In the morning, we had this talk
abt India from the India exchange
program students.
So aft tt, all the sec 1s had to stay
behind cuz they wanted to brief us
abt this OM program.
Its abt using creative skills to present
ur problems, i think.
The auditions are tmr but i dun think
i'll take part cuz it looks kinda tough.
And for the rest of the day, we just went
through our papers.
Ok, actually only math and sci.
But yea.
Cuz the other subjects like lit, hist,
and Eng cant really be checked, could it?
So yeap.
Sadly, i couldnt get any EXTRA marks
AT ALL.
Like isnt tt just sad?
Right, so mostly, all we did was like
fool around n stuff.
It was kinda fun since we could just
slack and everything.
So when we had to go through the sci paper,
everyone was like DEAD.
Could it be tt we were just too tired cuz we
played too much?
Wow, nw we do sound like lil kindergarden children
who just played in the playground and
had forgotten to take their nap!
Hehe; (:
Oh and we oso got back our overall results
and stuff.
For some subjects, my marks increased
cuz we oso added the CT's results as well.
So thats good!
However, for some, i DEPROVED
which is obviously not tt good.
Well, the important thing is, we try harder
and do better next yr!
LOL.
Ok, i think i better go nw.
So much for "lazy to post".
BYE! (:

Jesus longs for our fellowship even more than we long for His.

2008-10-15T21:47:00.002+08:00

Hey.
Today's officially the WORST
day ever.
Yeap, the results are out.
And yea, I soo DIDNT reach
my target to get 3 A1s.
Far from tt actually.
Im not gonna tell u guys my
marks but im gonna say
tt i got 4 Bs And 2 Cs.
So anyway, aft sch today,
i met up with yanlin and we
went to tiong macs to have lunch.
And we chatted and stuff.
So aft tt, we decided to go
to bugis.
But yanlin had no money so we
had to go to Redhill to meet
yanlin's mum cuz she had to ask
her mum for money.
We then took the bus to bugis.
And guess wad?
The things there are just soo
AWESOME and at the same time,
its sooo cheap!
We spent like 1h shopping there
i think.
It was so much fun!
There were so many tihngs man!
So i think we decided to go
back at abt 5.40?
Yanlin then walked me to the
mrt and i went back frm there.
So i think i reached hm at abt
6.30 and yeap, here i am nw.
Y cant i do better for FYEs!! D:
Ok, bye!

performance.
It was pretty cool actually.
There were many cool moves.
And aft tt the teachers briefed
us on the CIP programme for next yr.
U see, we have to go overseas
for this next yr.
So we can either choose to go to

Well, im still not sure yet.
But i think im most probably

Cuz i dun think my mum would
allow.
Its not like we cant help ppl
in singapore, right? ;D
So yeap.
We then had recess then.
We only had 10 mins to eat.
Cuz they kinda dismissed us late
and aft tt we oso had to go back
to class to get our bags.
Oh and we oso had this Deeparaya
celebration/concert.
It was good but my legs
were like aching so badly aft
tt cuz we were sitting down for
like 1h++ ?
I guess thats abt it.
And guess wad?
Tmr everyone in sch have to take
public transport to sch
so we only have to be in sch
by 8.10am!
How cool is tt? (:
Haha;
& at the same time, we're oso saving the
environment too!
Could tt be any better?
So yea, bye!

So aft tt we went for recess.
And believe me, the canteen was
WAY crowded then.
Oh and forgot to mention but
in the morning, we had this
cyber wellness talk as well.
Ok, nothing much to talk abt
tt.
But yea, just saying..
Oh and aft recess, we went to
the hall for this concert thing.
The songs were alright.
So it ended about 1 pm?
And we went to cheers to buy
food.
I decided to not buy anything
and just try the new
chicken rice in sch.
But guess wad?
When we reached sch,
the very 1st person infront of
me got the very last plate.
Like how lucky am i?!
Yea, but its ok.
So today dance started at 2.30
instead of 3.30 so we had
4 hours of dance in total.
Yeap, tiring!
Haha;
So yea, thats abt it.
Bye! (:

Hey everyone!
And btw, check this out!
(got it from Ash's blog) :D

You Are a Drama Princess (or Prince)

You're not over the top dramatic, but you have your moments.

You know how to steal the spotlight...

And how to act out to get your way.

People around you know that you're good for a laugh.

But at times, your drama gets a bit too much for everyone.

Tone it down a tad, and you'll still be the center of attention.

Are You a Drama Queen (or King)?

Even though you can't see Him, God is there for you.

D:
Ok, so im gonna do something abt
tt right nw.
Im gonna start posting.
So u guys better start tagging me!
Yea, so lets talk abt sat.
Me, wq, jw and xy went out!
So i met wq & xy at abt 11++.
Jw was still having tuition at
stalford so we were by ourselves.
We then went to more than words
to buy presents for Jw.
Cuz me and xy didnt buy anything
for her yet.
So it was kinda a last min thing.
Haha;
So i bought a soft toy key chain for her
and xy bought a key chain for her as well.
Wq just helped us choose the tihngs.
:D
Ok, aft choosing the presies,
we went to popular.
Chatted LOTS there and tt was
the only thing we did. {:
Haha, we had soo much to
talk abt cuz we havent met up for
such a long time already!
We then went to tenchi and chatted
even more there!!
All we did was talk and talk and talk.
But it was so fun anyways.
Jw then came to join us aft her
tuition.
We then went macs to have lunch.
Wq did not wanna eat there actually.
But i insisted cuz i was kinda
broke. LOL.
& u can use ur ez-link card at macs,
So ya, it was the best place
to eat.
We then went to vivo next.
We actually wanted to watch
journey to the centre of the earth
at the beginning but it was over
so we had to watch make it happen'
instead.
Aft we booked the tickets,
we went to the play ground and the waterpark.
Just chatted there like usual.
We then went to the arcade next.
Each of us spent abt $2 each
and we had loads of fun there.
Haha, but it was kinda a waste of
money..
But ya, we had fun.
So aft tt, we went to the movie
next.
I suppose it was a movie for couples
cuz the whole cinema was kinda filled
with them anyways.
But the movie kinda nice {:
And it was not a romance film, btw..
Ok, maybe a little.
But it was more abt the dancing.
Kinda like step up/ step up 2.
So aft the movie, we went
to sit at this place for couples
& spied at them.
There were alot of things i dun wanna
mention.
But technically, it was GROSS!;D
Ok, so aft tt, went to BK
for dinner.
Wanted to eat at long john;s at 1st.
But it was way too crowded. D:
So ya, had BK in the end.
It was alright i guess.
So aft dinner, we then went hm.
Overall, the day was totally awesome!

We should so go out again soon!!
So watched camp rock ysd.

Ok, went to vivo with kajal,
Jia Yi and Flo.
And it was soo AWESOME!
The only bad thing abt it
was, Ash didnt come. D:
So when we reatched there,
it was abt 12.
We then went to book tickets
for the movie.
We wanted to watch
"Journey to the centre of the Earth"
at 1st but Jia Yi just watched it
with her frens they day b4.
And the movie was a lil too
late i think.
So in the end, we decided
to watch The dark knight
even though i've already
watched it be4.
Cuz i really dun mind since
it was a GREAT movie! (:
And i didnt really understand it
the 1st time, so ya.
Aft tt, we went to subway for lunch.
I shared a 6-inch tuna sandwich
with Jia yi.
And bought a small drink.
It was YUMMY!
So aft lunch, we went to
the playground and took
loads of pics! {:
Ppl must have thought we were
mad or sometihng.
Haha.
Ok, so aft tt we went to the
water park, and took even
MORE pics.
LOL.
And we made 2 videos too!
It was really fun.
So we went to walk around next,
just looking at stuff.
When it was time for the movie,
we went back to the cinema.
Me & Jia Yi bought cheesy hot dog.
And i shared a regular coke with
Kajal as well! {:
Aft the movie, it was like 6pm
already cuz the movie was 2h long.
We then went down to the
food section and bought something
to eat at old chang kee.
We were kinda lost at 1st.
In the end, we had to like walk
through the car park and kajal
was acting like our mum!
Haha! {:
We then went back aft tt i guess.
Since all of us couldnt have dinner.
Oh and ysd we had dance n it was
soo tiring!
Cuz we danced frm 8-5.30!
LOL, but it was fun anyways.
Oh and btw, Wall-e is just the
most BORING movie

i was like struggling to watch
the movie.
Anyways, going out with wq, jw and xy
this sat.
Still havent made up our mind
on where to go.
Oh and i have sometihng to share with
you guys.
Read this -

Dart Test..

THIS IS A POWERFUL MESSAGE. PLEASE READ ALL OF IT. I AM
PASSING IT ON BECAUSE I AM CERTAINLY NOT ASHAMED TO DO
SO.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.............

Dart Test

A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith . She says that Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons.

One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.

On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.

Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.

The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith , because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall.

Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.

Dr. Smith said only these words....' In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me .'
Matthew 25:40.

No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ.

This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero . It's your choice.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.

Jesus said, ' If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you, before My Father.'

Not ashamed... pass this on.
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.

Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.

Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is it scary?

Isn't it funny how someone can say ' I believe in God ' but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God ).

Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and! they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord , people think twice about sharing .

Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.

Are you laughing?

Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.

Will YOU pass this on? ... I just did

In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
Matthew 25:40.

2008-09-01T15:13:00.002+08:00

Well, nothing much.
Mass run was cancelled cuz
it started drizzling so we

WOOTS!
And we then had sci.
My marks didnt change.
So i couldnt get one more mark.
SAD.
Anyway, the class passed by slowly.
Next was chi.
The teacher gave the papers back.
I got a 1/2 mark more.
LOL.
Like tt helps?
Anyway, next was home econs!
We made chicken rice!
It was awesome!
And it tasted so nice.
Haha.
And ya, Mrs Khan went through
our practical test with us.
So to sum it up, we just had to
make a folio of a few deserts frm s'pore?
And we had to make agar-agar.
LOL.
No, it isnt that simple as it sounds.
Hmm.. so next was art.
We painted our portrait today.
Me, kajal and Jia yi all used yellow!
Haha, i tihnk it was a pretty good choice.
In the end, me and kajal decided
to leave our paintings at sch
cuz the paint havent dried up yet.
So aft tt, we took the bus to
the mrt station cuz it was
raining.
LOL, so ya.
Thats abt it.
And oh i didnt have tuition
today cuz my tuition teacher postponed
it to tmr.
Erm, ya, thats abt it.

So lit was alright.
Ms Vicky just went through for our
project and we just discussed among
our grps.
And i guess we had recess next/
So while we were eating,
Fel suddenly knocked over her milo
and it spilt all over the table.
Worse off, the milo spilt over
kajal's GUESS WALLET
LOL; sad.
So kajal wassnt tt freaked out.
But it is so surprising how the GUESS
wallet and the milo had such a connection.
Cuz u noe wad?
Last time milo spilt over the wallet too!
So this was the second time.
So in the end she had to wash it
and let it dry in class.
Erm, aft tt was eng.
Mr Sameulson(is this the correct spelling??)

We didnt learn anything much.
Still going through that orietation phase.
So ya, we still dunno our eng results

Hey everyone!
Ok, so as some of u may noe,
I didnt post ysd.
Ok, obviously.
Cuz there isnt any post frm ysd.
Ok, im weird.
Well, i didnt have time to post
ysd.
Mainly because i came hm at abt 7.
Its actually considered kinda
early cuz we would usually end
later than 7. {:
I guess that was cuz we had a farewell
party for Ms Ng and Mdm tan ysd.
It was so AWESOME!
The sec 4s also performed a dance for us
and it was really really memorable.
Ok, anyways, we also learned a new
dance ysd.
It was nice!
But a lil difficult at times.
Haha! {:
So aft dance,
me and Geraldine decided to go
to cheer.
We bought prawn crackers! YUMMY!
Hehe, anyway,
we then walked to mrt.
Over there, we met up with
Ash, Andrea and Jiayi.
They said they had already
waited 1hr for us!
LOL.
And ash was kinda pissed cuz
she dropped her ice cream!
Hhahaa, ok, maybe i shouldnt laugh.
LOL.
Oh and did i mention ASHLEY CHIN signed
me up for a stinking SUDOKU competition?!

But i did mixed and matched

Haha;
Ok, anyways, didnt have tuition

It was suddenly cancelled.
Hmm.. Dunno y..
Anyways, so i spent my whole
day practically downloading

TWILIGHT!
Yeap; that was all i did.
Oh, and did i mention tt twilight's
just superly ADDICTIVE??
Cuz i just cant take my eyes off it!
And I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN.
He sounds soo cool in the bk! {:
Oh and Bella and Jacob are so not

Bella and Edward sounds so much better.
They're just the ideal couple.
Oh, and u guys should so check out
the movie trailer for twilight.
Its so nice! :D

Oh and there's sch tmr.
Haiz, im so exhausted! D:

2008-08-16T15:39:00.002+08:00

Hey guys,
Ok, i noe its been like a
million years since i've last
posted.
And ya, i do have my reasons.
And they're all really good
reasons.
Ok, for most of u ppl,
u would noe tt this entire
week was the common tests week!
And it was just HORRIBLE!
Everyone was soo stressed
including me.
And i bet that i would so totally
fail which i so hope tt wont happen.
Ok, anyway, im actually feeling kinda
glad that all this is over.
It has been so stressful and
nw im looking 4ward to the spet hols!
Ok, actually it wouldnt be tt good
cuz then right aft the sept hols,
we would have our final yr exam.
SAD!
Its stress the whole yr round!
Ok, anyway, as some of u may nw,
We had chi oral today.
So ya, i noe its totally
unfair considering it a sat
but life's unfair right?
So ya..
Ok, so i woke up at the same time
as when i go to sch today.
I was soo TIRED!
Cuz i went to bed at like 11.30pm
last night.
Oh n guess wad?
When i reached to sch,
The sch gates weren't even opened
yet!
So much for me waking up early?!
I could've woken up at like 6.20
or something..
But im so paranoid.
Haha,
Ok, but its a gd thing i had to
w8 for awhile for the gates to open.
So it was alright.
Aft i went in to sch,
Dot just reached to sch as well!
I was soo happy!
Cuz i tot i was gonna be alone at 1st!
Thank God i had Dot with me!
Haha;
Anyways, ya, so we w8ted and waited
and more and more ppl kept on coming. {:
So at 7.30 the hall opened and
we could finally w8 inside an aircon place!
Heheee.
And guess wad?
The oral was absolutely HORRIBLE!
I did really badly!!
Seriously.
I was like stammering the whole time
and the teacher even had to interupt me
at times!
I was soooo HORRIBLE!
I bet im soo gonna die!
HELP!
But wad's over its over.
So aft tt when i was gonna go to the
foyer, i met ash halfway.
So Ash told me tt she was going with
Iris to exchange paint.
But then we cant find Iris at all!
So in the end we spent like half of
the time looking for iris
but we still cant find her in the end.
Then later Sneha came.
And ash wanted to go library.
So all of us went with her
and she borrowed with a few books.
We then decided not to w8 for iris
anymore cuz she was no where in sight.
And while we were walking to the mrt station,
Ash KEPT ON COMPLAINING abt her dad and iris
not picking up their phone.
LOL.
Oh and just when we decided to get on the
train, Iris suddenly called and said she
was coming,
So we waited for her at the MRT platform.
But its a gd thing she didnt take
long at all.
But when she came, her face was all red!
Haha;
it looked as if she was running a
marathon!
Ha, so in the end, me n sneha went hm
and iris n Ash went to exchange their paints.
So when i got hm, my previous plan was
2 actually continue sleeping
but i decided to read twilight instead!
And its all thanks to Jiayi for lending
it to me.
And P.S Twilight IS seriously addictive!
Ok, bye!

God is our Saviour, He sent His Son to die for our sins.

2008-08-05T19:29:00.002+08:00

Hey!

of homework.
Im telling u im about to
just DIE!
Of stress i mean.
But ya, DIE!
Im so stressed right nw.
And i really cant w8 for all
these to end.
But even if the common tests ended,
It will just bring us closer to
final years!
Which is obviously much much
more stressful than the common tests.
Anyway, enough abt the self pitying.
Ok, now more abt today.
Today was pretty alright.
We had lessons per normal but
there is mass run today.
Its like really tiring.
Anyway, we didnt have math today
cuz Mr tan went for something.
But he gave us this work to do
and we gotta hand it up by today.
So it wasnt tt fun after all.
haha,
But still, it was alright.
And for CME Ms Ho came to take
over Ms ang cuz she went to have her
Operation.
Oh anyway, we were tihnking of visiting
her on fri..
But i dun tihnk i can go cuz
of the common tests.
SAD!
Oh n we were actually supposed
to have our Lit test today
but thank goodness we didnt
cuz Ms vicky didnt come for some
reason.
LOL. [:
I guess we're just lucky!
Haha, {:
Hmm.. anyway, spend like half
of the day doing my work.
And im super tired nw.
Ok, guess i better stop.
Bye! [:

Accept God as our personal Saviour now, Its never too late.

2008-08-01T17:19:00.002+08:00

Today was kinda fun cuz we

So i kept the chicken burger for lunch.
It was alright.
Not as bad as i tot it would be.
And ya, we had loads of revision to do.
For the common tests the week aft next.

stressed out by all these..
So aft sch, i went back with ash, kajal
and Jia yi.
Me and kajal, decided to go on
the train 1st cuz we gotta go back
by 3pm, u see..
Ash and Jia yi decided to buy
something to eat.
LOL.
Ok, and while i was waiting for the
train, this lady
suddenly talked to me.
Turns out tt she was passing the
msg of Jesus Christ and His
sacrifices for us.
I was a little scared at 1st
but i was ok.
And later she gave me this little
booklet abt Jesus Christ and its
pretty awesome. LOL.
Haha, ok i better stop nw.
Bye!

He sacrificed His life for us, Believing in Him is the least we should do.

2008-07-30T22:09:00.002+08:00

Hey hey,
Ok, gotta blog real fast.
Anyway, today was great!
So sch was per normal anyways.
But, aft sch, we had this sci
centre CIP thingy, u see..
So me, kajal, ash, Jiayi,
Flo and Felicia
decided to go to the sic centre
together.
So we went to w8 for the 111 bus 1st.
It was like a 10mins ride to
commonwealth.
And when we reached commonwealth,
we went to have lunch at
LONG JOHN SILVERS!
Its nice!
I just followed wad they rest ate.
Cuz i didnt noe wad to order at all.
So we were like rushing to eat
cuz we were like so scared we'll be
late, u see..
We're just so paranoid! Haha,
We then took 198 bus to the sci centre.
The bus ride was actually not as long
as we tot it would be.
So in the end, we reached the place
early. LOL.
Anyway, they had free food there.
So it was kind of a waste to
go long john's silvers..
Ok, the sci centre person just
briefed us on the programm.
It turns out tt today was just
the training course???
LOL, so in the end we decided not
to sign up for the programm cuz there
are like so many other
tihngs to do..
Like prepare for the tests or exams??
Oh, so aft the talk, which was abt 5?
Me, kajal, Ash, Felicia and Qori
went to explore the sci centre
ourselves!
It was the COOLEST thing
ever!!! [:
We had like so much fun.
Ok, so aft like and hr of exploring,
we went back home.
It took me abt 20mins to get back hm
frm Jurong.
Which is actually considered kinda
fast! :D
Ok, guess i gtg nw.
Bye!

2008-07-27T22:45:00.002+08:00

Hey everyone!
Ok, i noe i didnt post
ysd.
But there was nothing much
to post abt anyways.
It was just the learning fest/
speechday celeb.
We just walked around the sch
and bought little snacks
on the way.
The good thing was,
there were like MILLIONS
of food.
But at the end of the day,
we got pretty bored as we've already
pratically walked around the entire
sch.
Oh, but the coolest thing ysd was
the photo thingy tt me, kajal n jiayi
took.
It was by the comp club ppl.
And its kinda free cuz we used
the coupon to pay for it.
So they just used photoshop
and changed the backgrnd
and added our names.
It just turned out AMAZING
Something like neoprints! (:
Ok, enought abt ysd and
lets talk more abt today.
So i woke up at abt 12.30pm,
Had breakfast,
dressed up and left home at 1.
I had to get to tuition by 2, u see.
And my tuition teacher's place is
like abt an hour away frm my hse.
So i had tuition at 2 all
they way to 5pm.
It was soo tiring.
LOL.

How would u feel?
Ok, anyway, aft tt,
went to hougang mall,
and played at the arcade for awhile.
Aft tt, we had dinner.
And i went hm at abt 9pm.
So i guess thats all.
And i dun have to go to sch
