Happy Children's Day!! :)

Sometimes it feels weird..like..you've been longing for a thing for so long and you work so hard for it, but when u know it's really coming soon & on the way to you, u feel a churn in your stomach. Lol. Have you all felt that before? But i guess, now is the time of preparation!

Anyway, i was reading my personal diary last night. At every opening, i would write, "Dear Jesus, or Father..", then i would write down my thoughts, feelings and revelation. No one has seen my diary before and definitely it is very different from my blog. =D I feel good reading the things i wrote previously. The thick diary was given by one of my twin tower brothers, Liangwei, 2 Christmas back! See how highly utilized ur gift is, my bro! lol. Anyway..as i read the things i wrote to God, and now i looked back, i can see how He actually turn many situations around and how His Hands are a upon me the moment i cried out to him. My faith arises.

Many times we're stucked in our current situation, we couldn't see God's Hand. We'll be lost and confused. I mean, honestly, i would be too! who won't? But i think, all we have to do is to endure and face it positively. Circumstances will come and go, it is up to us to decide if we wanna move along and be swayed by the situation or be firm and stand put, knowing that God is with us!! And then, when the whole thing is over, you look back, u just feel like hugging God, coz You've finally saw how God has helped u!

God is smart. He knows that we won't learn until we go through it ourselves! My friend once told me, "I think driving is easy! Everytime i sit beside my mum while she's driving, i see how she drives and i think i know how to drive already." heheh. i was like "Yoohoooo, it's different to learn driving by watching someone drive verus driving it to experience yourself!

:)

The breath of life that God gave to renew us each day, is the oxygen that we breathe. Every time we breathe, let's be reminded that we're breathing the breath of God! =D

I sent a mass sms to 14,15 friends in the afternoon!! And most of them reply to say they don't know what i'm talking about!! *FAINT* LOl..twinnie tot it's a secret code while gabriel tot i'm telling him my study hours!!



What i mean is.....

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!! A day that still belongs to yoooUUu and meeeeEEe!!!

Let's keep on keeping on friends!!!

We're blessed, isn't it??

I had my econs test today!! =D i felt relieved and i really like econs!! But sadly, i dropped it when i was in JC2. It was my best subject! But i know i wanted to do science in uni, hence, i have to sacrificed my beloved subject :)

Anyway, while i was going home from school (after test), i was on bus, just stoning.. Then, the bus stopped and passengers boarded. There was a mum and his son coming up into the bus. The mum was holding onto the son's hand and slowly, they walked in and seated near the driver's seat. The son had difficulty in walking and i guess, it's a chronic problem with his hips and backbone. He was dressed in formal wear, however, i can tell that he is very young..Perhaps 18,19 years old only. He is about the same size as me..or perhaps a 1.68m elongation of me. The moment he sat down, i looked and smiled at him and his mum.

I thought to myself. I am blessed. And we are blessed.

Honestly speaking, how many times have you dislike or xian2 qi4 certain part of your body?? Frankly i do, sometimes, i would think that my eyes should be bigger, my teeth should be straighter, my hair should be less frizzy, I can be taller etc etc...! Although sometimes i do think that to myself, or even say it out, but i'm glad i am the way i am :) God is a beautiful God and He creates us in a beautiful way. We may not be the prettiest or most handsome person around, but God has input beauty in us :) Believe it or not, he has :)

For the young man i met, he is made beautifully too. We may not see it outwardly, but truly, the beauty lies in him.

They pressed the bell. The mum gently told him in his ears that they got to get off. The mum held his hand and slowly, they walked to the exit door and got off.

They are blessed too, isn't it?

The most beautiful thing that God has given us is love.

I am just an ordinary girl, but I know, God has given me many beautiful people around me to beautify my life.

I thank God and I thank God for all the people around me :)

Like what i always write in my blog..

You're truly beautiful :) You are.

Random week!

Today marks the 2nd last day of reading week!!! This one week has been hectic!! From monday to wed, i've meeting every night, from subzone --> ldrs' -->dwayne's cg dinner meeting. And on thurs, got ri mentorship programme. It has been an eventful 1 week!! But other than that, i've been studying! And praise the Lord, i broke my record for staying in the library. On friday, i was in library studying with Yuantai titus Germaine. I studied from 11am to 9pm in LIBRARY! *applause* =D Not as if library is a boring place, but just that it's my first time studying long hours there. haha and i actually like library :)

i went for cell group today, so happy! Missed cg last week coz i went to melaka.

While eating...

Me: "Heys alvin, so how was cg last week? ( coz boonkiat and i were not around, so angie took over)

Alvin: (look at me with a serious face) It was quiet.

Me:"Quiet?? Why ??"

Alvin: Because....





"You're not around!! and Gabriel agreed that too!!"

I was like, Am i that noisy!! LOL

Me: "Gabriel Chia!! come here!!"

And they were discussing how quiet it was when i'm not around last week!! And one by one, some of them came up to me and ask me where did i go last week and how was the trip. And they told me, during cg last week, they were discussing and exhanging info where exactly and whom i go to malaysia! Say until as if i really go elope!! Lol.

I was like, "Oh my goodness, i wasn't around for just a week lo!"

Anyway, i love my cell group friends! =D They're so adorable. Lol. even tho some of them are older than me by 3,4 years, they're still cuteeee! lol

Okies, this is all so random!

But i thank God for everyone around me. My family & my friends!

Boonkiat preached a very good word today. He challenge our mindset to thinking that everything that we do shouldn't be for ourselves. Even to the most mundane and habitual things.. eg.Going for cell group. Often we tot that going for cg is so that we will increase our spirituality, have a touch from God so that we will be renewed. Yes, it's true and i agreed totally :) BUT, he mentioned, going for cell group can also be there to gain insights, learn new things, so that we can share with our friends and bless their lives instead! Often, we learn so much from the bible, service, cg; they're the principles and steps of gaining success etc, yet we so-called keep it to ourselves and not share with our friends. We know it by head-knowledge that we should bless others with what we've and know. But today, i really receive into my spirit that "heys yes! This is what i MUST do.." Just like Jesus, he's self-less. Everything he does, he's always thinking of the next generations..:)

Last week is such an eventful week. I learnt new things and i learnt to make decision. Even if it means going to the extreme, i will still do it. All i can say, is i'm really sorry.. But i guess, it's a growing part of life :)

Hurray to mid term tests!
