* Friday, September 30, 2005 * I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day. I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray. Problems just tumbled about me and heavier came each task. "Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered; He answered, "You didn't ask." I wanted to see joy and beauty but the day toiled on, grey and bleak. I wondered why God didn't shown me, He said, "But you didn't seek." I tried to come into God's presence, I used all my keys at the lock. God gently and lovingly chided "My child, you didn't knock." I woke early this morning and paused before entering the day. I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray. Labels: Christian/Church

Thank you for your care and love... and for never giving up on me. teehee. Anyways, hope you like the little something that we put together for you... Those are memories that would hopefully last for a lifetime. Oh yah. This is my 100th post ever since I started blogging... have always thought about what I should blog about when this day arrives. Now you see this... in honour of this very special person. heh. M, You're really treasured. Love ya... *aaahhhh* Shan't go on any longer... hah. Stay tuned for more in your card lah. :)) Labels: Birthdays

* Wednesday, September 28, 2005 *  My favourite photography subject - SKY! (Angie: just in case you wanna tease me, it's NOT that korean guy...)  It might be the same sky we're looking at everyday, but somehow, it will NEVER be the same.  I thought I was going to go blind looking straight at the sun... instead I was rewarded by this picture... (Kids out there: I'm not suggesting that you should look straight at the sun like I did ah...) Hee.  Wheee.... I'm on top of the world! oh.. nah. Just on top of sentosa...  Don't run away... Errrr. Nice butt by the way. Labels: Photography

* Tuesday, September 27, 2005 * Felt like photo blogging all of a sudden... It's just some random pictures. There's no chronological order or whatsoever.  This jump shot (no, no.. not the kind of jump shots you see in bad movies... this has got absolutely nothing to do with the connections between shots in films!) is my personal favourite amongst the many photos we took in our school's library that day... This is for the sake of our art project - I'm aiming for AD (Distinction) *all smiles* p.s. This is the Xth time we jumped... we took a pretty long time to figure out the right time to execute the jump. There's no photographer by the way.  The director getting a lil impatient and frustrated... can't remember over what.  Looking through the viewfinder of the coolest kinda cam... just to make sure that everything is okay...  This is put together by all my classmates in art class in my first semester in NP... Can you guess which is the part I drew?  A 9 ball game anyone? Used to play quite often... but not anymore after my injury. The comeback attempt the other day was a total flop. Decided that I should take pictures wherever I go... I'm going to start outdoor shooting tomorrow before BS. yooohoo! Look out for more photos... Labels: Photography

* Saturday, September 24, 2005 * Amen! This year's Parents' Appreciation Nite went great... really thank God for answering our prayers. It was an evening filled with laughter and tears... acting and singing... giving and receiving... appreciating and understanding... thanking and apologising... loving and caring... I was really touched by all the performances that the youths have put up... they have selflessly put in a lot of effort and time into making the whole event a success. As I watched the video... the things that the youths say to the parents... Tears welled up in my eyes. The thing we normally say are so often not the things we really mean... (that's why our group - JOY did an item along that line... "what we really mean"! hah.) When they showed the clip of parents saying words of encouragement to their child(ren)... I was super touched. They might be busy all the time... They might not understand the things we do... They might not approve certain habits of ours... But they truly love us. We do have to reflect. When you say things like... "Tell you, you also won't understand..." Have you actually tried explaining? Most of the time, we don't even give them a chance to understand. When you say things like... "Can you not interfere with my life..." Can you imagine how much it hurts them? They were the ones who gave you life (literally)... who have brought you up and have provided for all your needs... Would you have survived up till this day if not for them? Think again the next time you are tempted to say such things... God was really with us throughout the entire event... He has so graciously guided us and let everything fall into place perfectly. I was so amazed that we ended at 730pm (as scheduled) on the dot. Amen! This wouldn't be possible without Him with us... no matter how man can plan, God is indeed the ultimate planner. Through this night, God was teaching me to not worry too much. Normally, I would be sooo stressed with the little details like "who's offing the lights later?"... "can i remember the lines?"... "will i sing out of tune?"... "will i forgot what i'm suppose to do?"... these kind of stuff. I get tummy upset when I'm super stressed. It's not a good feeling... I'll not be able to do what I'm supposed to do well. However, this time round, I committed everything unto Him. I have asked in His name and have received His blessings and my joy is complete. It's in His Word! He promised... "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you." Exodus 20:12 Tonight might be a special night when we all show appreciation to our parents... but it should NEVER stop here. Every single day should be a parents appreciation day. Have you told your dad that you love him lately? Have you told your mom that you really appreciate everything she does for you lately? If not, maybe it's time to do so. Labels: Christian/Church

* Wednesday, September 21, 2005 * Who says resolutions must be made in the beginning of a new year? I'm gonna make it right here, right now. Can't afford to wait till the new year comes... #1 - I'm going to sleep before 1am each night. #2 - I'm going to wake up at 9am every morning to do QT. No compromise this time round. No excuses. I'm going to do it... with the strength of the Lord of course. Pray for me. Labels: Random

I'm not a wall. I'll say it again. I'm not a wall. At least I don't throw words back at you like the wall does. Whatever. Lord, help me to speak with wisdom and knowledge. Help me to speak with love. Help me to speak with mercy. Put Your words in my mouth Lord, that I might speak. Labels: Christian/Church

* Tuesday, September 20, 2005 * Jesus, Lover of my soul Jesus, I will never let You go You've taken me from the miry clay You set my feet upon the rock And now I know I love You, I need You Though my world may fall, I'll never let You go My Saviour, My closest Friend I will worship You until the very end Dearest Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving me life that I might enjoy all things. Thank You for being the only one true God. Thank You for making me a new creation. Thank You for being my Father. Thank You for providing me with everything. Thank You for dying for my sins that I might live. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for giving me a heart that longs for You. Thank You for being who You are - The Almighty One. I have so many things to give thanks for. I'm just so grateful to You Father. How can it be that You gave Your life to die for my sake on the cross? I do not deserve this O Lord. Only by Your mercy and Your grace that I can stand here and proclaim Your love for me. Lord, I know I am nothing but a sinner. But Lord, You've given us the priviledge to call You Father; to call upon Your Holy Name. I'm sorry Lord, for not being the salt and light of the world as I ought to be. I'm sorry that I haven't been the obedient child as I ought to be. I'm sorry Father, for not putting You first in my life. I'm sorry for sinning against You. I'm sorry for hurting You. Please forgive me Lord, as I bow before You in reverence and in fear. Please take me back to Your side Lord. Bring me back to that place again, where I may enjoy Your presence each day. And Lord, indeed, my world will fall apart without You. Hold me close to You Lord. My life is in Your Hands Lord; mould me, use me, fill me, lead me, send me, walk beside me. Take my life and let it be - do as You please Lord. I love You. I need You. Yes Father, I will worship You until the very end. In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen. Labels: Christian/Church, Songs

* Sunday, September 18, 2005 * Didn't know it's mid-autumn festival until I was awoken by the stench of burning incense. It has got to be either the first or the fifteen day of the month. Every year, on this day... me and my sec sch best friend will meet and play candles and sparkles together. Childish it may seems but we really enjoy doing it. It's fun playing with fire legally outside. Hah. Then we'll just talk till... hmm. my godma calls to ask for my whereabouts. It's like a catching-up session for the both of us too. When the moon is 'yuan', we also 'tuan yuan'. Hee. This year's mid-autumn festival seems a lil low-key... I don't see big fancy parties being held at he void-deck... I don't see kids going around with lanterns... I don't see children gathering to play with fire... I don't hear those battery-operated lanterns' irritating high pitched music... All I see is mooncake. Oh yah. and the moon... Know what? In church, we saw the most happening phenomenon. I was searching for the moon the whole night... It just wasn't in sight. Then I saw Sherwood Towers glowing from the breakfast area in the church... I was like.. "Look!" Then all of us turned and we literally saw the full moon rising!!! in like.. 5 mins!!! It's super amazing lor. It's was initially covered by the building, then we could see it rising so quickly until it go right above the building! WOW. Wished I took a picture of it. But it'll be too small anyway. There's a full moon arising... out of the stormy sea.... oops. sorry. correction: out of the building. Labels: Random

Went to sentosa with my doggies yesterday... Woohoo. We spent the whole day at the beach - swimming... floating... running... super fun! Toby is super funny lah. He's totally obessed with his soccer ball! I was kicking the ball around on the sand and he was chasing it all around the beach. When I threw the ball in the sea, he simply dived in and went after it. Didn't know he can swim so well now... He's making really good progress. Little bear bear is getting so big... Don't know why his ears are so huge. eeeek. His buttocks quite big too. agrhhhh. Not as cute as before already. He's got this weird habit... he loves 'eating' sand. He'll start digging a hole with his mouth in the sand and bury his head in there! weirdo. After all playing with them... I felt super hot siah. Only to realise that I was burnt when I went to bathe. Gosh. Now it hurts like mad. Feel like my face is cracking when I smile too hard. They called me a loster. Oh great. What's the worst thing that can be done to a person who is sun-burnt? Hit her on her shoulder. Thanks Beni and Pris. I'm concerned. Do dogs get sun-burnt? Hmmm. I pray not. Labels: Random

* Thursday, September 15, 2005 * Received this thru email from leon... The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the"k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away. By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen ve vil tak over ze vorld! Labels: Random

* Wednesday, September 14, 2005 * Got the following from the bulletin from the 10th Anniversary Celebration... thought it will be good to get everyone praying for these: Praise the LORD for the newly appointed deacons - Wisanu, Witchit, Weekit & Samakee. Pray for them to be good models for the other believers and to serve the LORD and His church faithfully. Pray that the Thai Ministry in Glory Presbyterian Church may continue to be the sending base for the missions work in Thailand. Pray for stability of the Thai ministry, that all fellow Singaporean, Thai and Korean co-workers in this ministry will serve and work together harmoniously. Pray for the English teachers to teach the Thai people with love and patience. Pray for the Thai believers to witness to other Thai brothers in Singapore. Pray that the Lord may provide a suitable full-time pastor for the Thai Ministry in Glory Presbyterian Church. Pray for Rev. Kim and his family to be recharged with His grace and power during their sabbatical. Labels: Christian/Church

* Tuesday, September 13, 2005 * I have never seen a thunderstorm like this... Lightning flashes every other 10 secs or so. and it's not those that appears to be far away. I can feel it so near... can feel the impact that it made on the ground even though i was in a car. I was really terrified. It was so near and strong that every time it strikes, everything turns white. AWWW. It really didn't help when my instructor who was driving said that it reminds him of War of the Worlds. And he claimed he saw one strucking the ground near the car. I pray super hard... that nothing bad will happen. I'm so glad He heard it... if not i won't be blogging about this now. We were on PIE going towards steven road... the traffic going the other way was... er. SUPER HEAVY. All the vehicles weren't moving a single inch. It was like this all the way from woodlands to beyond steven road. Disgusting man. I was searching for a lightning picture to put up here when i found this article: "On average, lightning kills more people per year than tornadoes. Strikes can occur many miles from the base of a thunderstorm, even without rain -- and even with the sun shining! Listening for approaching thunder is a good idea -- unless you are the target of the first flash. You can't dodge a lightning strike; and you will never see or hear the one which hits you. With that in mind, be better prepared. " Labels: Random

* Thursday, September 01, 2005 * On this day every year, I would be busy giving out presents and cards for my teachers... thinking of ways to surprise them... but now it seems like any other day. perhaps I've grown out of it... perhaps I'm too tired. Don't even wanna go back to my secondary school... They've made it such a hassle just to enter the school! Anyway it has been more than a year since I went back... heard that many changes have been made. many teachers have left... of course there are still some around whom I miss dearly but it's just... agrh. I would rather meet outside... I still remember those days when I was much younger, my dream was to be a teacher. Teachers were such prominent figures in the school and they would often speak with so much authority... They were the people I look up to most. I still look up to them... in fact even more, knowing all the hardships they have to put through... the difficulties they face... but I would not want to be part of that complicated hierarchy. To all teachers out there... "HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!" To you... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I thank God for you... Hang in there! no matter how much you think you're not for it. You're a good teacher... seriously. To you... You might not be celebrating teachers' day as a teacher anymore, but i still wanna wish you a really HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY! Thank you for being such a blessing... It has been an amazing transition - can never think this is possible. Thankfully for power of God. Labels: School/Work
