Are you having good thoughts today?


Finally i can have some peace in my room! My bro is off to aunt's house to be a bookworm. Now my whole table is in a mess of notes, and his gigantic earphones! Gotta clear it up in a while rah! It's the exams time for poly again.. Was just on the phone with val saying how fast that we're in year 2 now! She wanna study greek and philosophy!  how awesome right i bet she's my first friend who can teach me greekish language ahhah.

Singapore Idol is super hilarious, if hakeem and junkai were through it'll be so much fun man.. Caught a show on Tv just now, 'Flyboys' interesting show. I wanna ride in a fighter plane someday too, i love war movies!! Okies back to reality, i gotta touch some books..

I wanna dream tonight


Really had a shocking encounter today, I think i'll not forget what happened today ever. It's really God planned, every single thing. He just moves in an amazing and unpredictable way. Truly, in everything by prayer and supplication, God never fails.

Am determine to finish some work this week. Just realised that I haven't been listening to what Mr Wah Peow taught since school started. Actually I did, but i think ANNOVA test, repeated measures tests... are just the most terrible things. Fishing would be more fun :) Okay have been to AE weekend this week so gotta wake up the idea of flunking this subject. And I'm so glad Val's parents came this week and they have a had a diff experience in the house, already  I'm seeing that this is a place which bridges the gap between young and older people!
I wish i'll wake up tmr, with ears that has perfect pitch! Well the ear training practice really helps quite alot. I wonder why our ears work this way man. It's hard to differentiate notes that are played together. Hahaha maybe we're made to listen to one person at the same time. 

I agree with QQ's tweet about having a bed that vibrates like alarm clock. If there really is one, i'll get the one that throws me out of bed literally! My brain is immune to alarm rings really. My eyes are almost slits now, goodnight.




 

Inner Voices


It's really a privilege to be in the leaders' meeting tonight! Heard so much what others pastors have said about our church and where our church is heading to for the future. Indeed God is opening so many doors and now is the time to take the next step. Hogc is my first church and i've no idea how other churches run, never did i know that what we do here in church appear abnormal to the people around us. There's just so much and much what God has instore for us in the coming seasons. New people are rising up, and they are really taking ownership of this church. It's time to give and not just receiving anymore.

Although it sounds cliche, but when opportunities come, we gotta really grab it. I don't want to miss any more chances, i have missed too many. How many 18years old can i waste? I like Big picture people, they see things at a widen view and sometimes its not that easy in life. There may be situations that are so discouraging, but its relationships that matter. Don't ever let a situation ruin a r/s. I've seen how my mom and her sister's r/s become so drastic just because of a small situation. It's definitely not worth it.

However impossible it may seem, I see that someday my parents and brother will be save and serve together as a family. It's such a blessed sight. Because i'm not born in a Christian family, all the more i want my family to be save and my next generation of kids are gonna take that baton and say 'we are gonna continue the race'. Patience is really then a virtue. God is not going to give me stone when i pray for bread. There's only one chance on Earth and i wanna make the best out of it.

Matthew 10:42 "Whoever gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, assuredly I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward." The phrase cup of cold water just catches my attention. A cup of cold water is a basic act of hospitality but it may seem insignificant. But sometimes the smallest of acts can have impacts far beyond what we think. Most of the time, what God wants from us is the little things isn't it?

Needa go catch some sleep before piano lesson later! Drill the notes into my brain... drill drill drill

Unforgettable


Came back from D.E.O Camp and oh man it's really mind blowing! Got to know new people like Andy,Crystal,Chen San and Jordan!Hahah and Kimberly too I didn't know she's so good at coming up with cheers. Definitely I got to know more about ppl in D5,it's really a good time to just sit down and talk and ask about other's lives. Service with Pst Troy and Dominic brought me to another level of thinking and I just felt stronger in my walk with God.

Really wish Val could be there too and join us!It'll be such a great time! The services with Pst Troy and Dominic were thought provoking, and challenging.I feel that this is a season of giving, giving what is precious. So much so as praying for a breakthrough, if there is no giving of someting precious to you, then there won't be a breakthrough. Just like Jieru said, fear is like a blindfold, it's immobolizing. It's like rehearsing with your band in a circle with acoustic guitars and unamplified vocals. There's no way to hide your flaws and any mistake is bound to be obvious. I can't conceal my fears and failures from God. Shames and guilt I do have, but I believe there is mercy that cleanses all these. I do not want to disappoint people, neither will i push my fears to the back of my head. But i shall do things that are pleasing in God's eyes and not to please men only.I yearn to be more anointed with my playing but first take an act of faith. God is indeed opening up many doors of opportunity right now and I'm glad. I want more of You and less of me

A thousand times I failed, still Your mercy remains
Should I stumble again, I'm caught in Your grace


Quiet Nights


Whoa finally term test is oooover! And we're rewarded with 2 weeks of holidays to date projects and portfolios. Boo! Had a great day with Eloo loo and weird people, funny to watch how Annlynn and Eloise quarrel over 'Red' and 'Pink'. Annlynn is just a crazy person, she told us all her "WHATTT?!" experiences. Like flooding her uncle's kitchen because he told them they can do anything but not burn down the house. Lol. Went to Pris's house for bbq and her rabbits are so fat and tempting to cook! Our attempt to microwave the calamari rings failed and her maid had to help us fry it in the end -.-

Finally a time to catch a breather! And better catch up on bible reading plan too man! Gotta go on intensive exercise soon too! Been a long time since my lungs have been put to test. Gosh i just lost to my brother in Winning Eleven and i'm gonna be his maid for a day! Anything but washing his clothes :) There're so many camps going on this June, mostly in Malaysia. Would love to go to langkawi or desaru some day to see the beautiful beaches! Chanced upon this video on Hossan Leong singing about history of singapore, kinda hilarious.





Watched a show on MTV recently too, it's about these different young people having mental disorders in America. And it's quite scary to know that many people suffer mental illness like depression without knowing it and refuse to seek for help. Maybe it's their genetics or social pressure that cause it but nevertheless, it's heartwrenching to see teenagers suffering with these problems. If people around are more supportive, will it be better?

Eyes are getting heavier.. Oh and Deon is in Aussie with the kangaroos now!Hope he doesn't get the swine.. Shall go explore RP tmr before going for Yiling's concert!


Ahhh i laughed at QQ's spoilt phone and tried to revive it by hitting against it the table. Oh great now my phone is dead! I didn't know retribution applys to phone too. So finally now i am left with no choice but to use my htc. Rah i can't group my contacts with it! Oh man i should have just gotten a normal brand phone. So much for trying to be special. Hahah

So nothing extraordinary has happened in life and i'm quite use to the sucky timetable these few weeks. One more week to a huge breather! Need to start on the interviews soon on my cousin. Hahahh i think i need to bribe her with tons of food for using her as my subject in projects. It's so much better working with kids than grown ups because kids are more simple and real.

At some times, we just feel we need to add a pinch of salt to our lives. Salt, to preserve, flavour, thirst, grow and for purity. There're days where you reach home so exhausted and your shoulders are so heavy. Today is that kind of night. Tomorrow will be a better day :) That's what most of us tell ourselves before we sleep ya. Goodnight!

This semester has been quite messy, everything is passing so fast. It's already week 4 now for goodness sake. Oh and my brother is back home! Finally there's japanese music, crazy shouts and some noise in the middle of the night. I'm quite use to sitting alone at the back seat of my dad's car for these few years now. Now the space is taken up, it feels quite funny. But now that he's back, the feeling of doing better is even more overwhelming. People are saying show him that you can do better, but i know my limits. Life doesn't just revolves around school does it? I'm quite afraid to take big steps in life right now, even hesitant to think about it.

Counselling lesson today was quite productive :) Ms Eunice has her way of teaching about counselling skills, and putting it into practice. Well being a counsellor sure ain't easy. Listening to people's stories, probing to know more, understand like a friend. It's not a job for the faint hearted. Hahah sometimes we can't even figure our own emotions and have to stop and think what is thie weird feeling.

I was looking at the bookmark Valerie gave me when i first went to Church. Many times I look at it it seemed like a ordinary verse but this time, I felt that it spoke to me.

Psalm 9:9-10
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed. A refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord have not forsaken those who seek You

Today's celebration for Pastor Lia's birthday was more than awesome! Hahah the people who acted in the skit were so hilarious! I think the funny and crazy gene is really in our church's dna. People got to hear of stories and stories about how Pastor Lia has done in their lives. Well some people may not have talk to her personally, but nevertheless we know how much she has sown into our lives. The sermons she preach from the pulpit never fails to inspire me, well i guess to most people too. It's definitely not easy to run a youth church. Well for all i know, not many can decide to give up on a great job and choose to be a pastor and believe in youths :)

I did a drawing yesterday hahah drawing flowers. this picture caught my attention when i was looking through the web. Simple simple.



Isaiah 40:6-8
The voice said, "Cry out!"
And he said, "What shall I cry?"

"All flesh is grass,
And all it's loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the Word our God stands forever."

We have a vulnerable nature, like grass and flowers. There are situations where we can be helpless, like a flickering flame.
But there is an assurance and stability of God's promise to us, contrary to our negative thoughts. I felt this verse speaking to me when i was having a quiet time. Somehow it kinda link to what i drew in the afternoon. Haha funny how.

Anyway, brother is finally coming back in a few weeks time. Oh man i really can't wait to have a basketball match with him! I miss quarreling with him and teasing our mom together. Boo he's not staying for good, but there's still a few months to spend with him :) I shall surprise him! I love my brother and i've never said that in his face before. Hahah maybe i'll do so now :)

Alright school tomorrow, gonna be exciting! Hope to work with crazy jessica in tutorial group, it'll be funny for counselling! Can imagine her giggling away, in the midst of therapy. Lol. Off to do some cards! Been craving for tomyum soup almost everyday. I feel sick. Blooop
