say to the weary one, your God will surely come
ilovemyJesus!!


i knw its uncool t post twice, and within an hour.but i just received an sms telling me i'm eligible for DSA and can secure a place right now, bfore 8June.

God, shoot me.
no i mean.
i dont want t be running away frm the responsibilities of making a decision and just pray and wait for u t run my life for me.You guide me, while i run my life.You give me choices, and You show me how to decide.show me Your face, O Lord.


and i'll still be in the spirit of praise.
i put my trust in Your holy Word
ilovemyJesus!!


grace and i (wallks t blind man t buy a pack of tissue)
us: uncle, can we talk t u for a while?
blindman: dun talk about Jesus!
us: *lost*
blindman: i know you! dun talk about jesus! i knew it!
us: ok.sry uncle.byebye.

so many people in the world knw who Jesus is.but why do they still want t reject Him?have you lost hope?i'm showing you the way to hope.have you given up?i leading you to new strength.are you hindered by filth?i'm taking you to He who cleanses.why do you still harden your heart?

He gave us life.

may i suggest to you, Jesus is the one who holds everything together.the bible is truth, every word and every line.in John 1:1-3, who is the Word? the Word is Jesus.and it says that with [Jesus] all things are made, and without it, nothing is made.and in Heb 1:3, things are sustained by [Jesus].and also in Col 1:17, [Jesus} is before all things and in Him, all things hold together.also in Acts 17:28, for in [Jesus], we live and move and have our being.

what is the force between elements? intermolecular force? let me tell you what holds EVERYTHING together, it is the man, Christ Jesus, who is the Word, and the high priest of all, and the lamb of God.He is the bridge to God, the Father.and therefore, God is everywhere.because He is indeed everywhere, holding things together!

are you finding this absurd? i'm telling you this is true.this is what the Bible says, not me, not my pastor.read for yourself if you dont believe.its clear.crystal clear.

without Jesus, we have NO life.i mean, we wont even have a body! nothing t hold our body together, no Jesus therefore no creation.honestly, we owe it ALL to Him.

ok.enough of my so-called holy talk.by the way, i hereby thank ps daniel for the great bible study ytd.and tht was when i figured about what i typed above.

and i also finally understand why ps daniel often goes out of time.that's because once you start talking about how awesome God is, you cant stop!
therefore the song, "i just cant stop praising His name.."

okay.so tdy chi o's were fine.it was not too hard for an exam ppr since exams are not meant t be chicken feet.i'm rly glad God helped me thru the exam.i dun think its luck or coincidence.i prayed hard and STUDIED hard too.(yes, prayer MUST come with action.we're not called to be SLOTHS)and the words i took special notice of came out for the first 5 qns, where its supposed t come out! and i was just writing "qian song" right bfore the exam when i was in class! awesome, isnt it? God has His ways.

and then the rest of the day was spent with the extremely out of the norm person, ms grace yew.and we went t the strangest places doing the strangest things.CHINATOWN for lunch? THE LIBRARY? [right after the exams.uh-huh] and CLARK QUAY? (though we dropped the idea just when we were one road away) MITA BUILDING? (but we were sort of chased out):) and thn funan, where we spend barely 5 mins, and peninsular plaza where we were like checking out guitars and shoes.OH! i saw this cheap guitar which is rly nice.ard $50 bucks only! i shall save up for my bday nxt yr! (: thn we went t the christian bookstore [faith, hope, love] and spent a long time thr and headed home after that long and tiring, AND drowsy day.

alright.and i do hope crezalive, *OPPS*, i4c had grt time kiteflying tdy.hee.

tats!

tell the world that He died for them, tell the world that He lives again
ilovemyJesus!!


HELLO.

i'm rly slpy and tired now and i'm lying down on the bed as i type this.anw.i did not move a computer t the bed.i dun have a com.its a notebook!just in case u were wondering..

anw.tdy is a GREAT day!
1.) YIFANG IS BACK!
2.) JIAQI AND I RECONCILIATED
3.) ZHIXIN CAME TO CHURCH
4.) NATHAN..AHAHAHAHAHA!
alright.well.nathan wore a formal shirt in church tdy and we were talking abt it during dinner at mac.AND amanda was rather disappointed cuz she didnt rly notice.she thought he was wearing sch uniform.so.yah..
then we were walking t the bus stop tgt as usual.
AND
WE MET NATHAN! and i told him amanda wanted t see him in shirt. [at that time he alrdy changed into a plain tee]
so..ahem.i shall type out what it was like then:
nathan: *shouts*(we were about 5m away) AMANDA! u want to see me in shirt?
*amanda blur*
nathan puts down his bag and takes his formal shirt out
karyn: YUCK!
me: AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
*amanda still blur/lost/stunned/dumbfounded*
karyn + me: hahahahahahahaha.
nathan(still holding the shirt): just putting it over only..
amanda(lost): uhh.nevermind la nevermind lah
*amanda walks away hurriedly and briskly, laughing*
all 3 of us: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

so funny! the situation was so akward! esp karyn..when she said "YUCK".cuz it looked like he was gg t strip..i mean.HAHAHA.he put his bag down and was holding a shirt.IMAGINE THAT!

alright.HILARIOUS!downright HILARIOUS! =D

anyway.crezalive had alot of fun in mac tdy.zibing bought a happy meal and we got a chop toy thing which ended up with kare in the end.and sufan was busy chopping everyone! and i was another of her victims. =( well, still.i was glad.to see all of us having so much fun tgt AGAIN! yayy!

sighh.we're going unisex! =( not us, i mean the cell.zibing says its for the better.well, she's right.but we dun rly like the idea.mm.but still, we gotta step out of our comfort zone and break our 'pots' for growth.
i mean.pot.
imagine a coconut tree planted in a pot! it cant grow as well as one on the beach! its limited.growth is limited.
likewise, we gotta break our pots so we can grow and expand.in this case, stepping out of our *ahem* comfort zone.sounds familiar heh?

oh.and.hahaha! rachel's dad is rly cool! i chatted with him, who is working in china now, last night.with rachel.ahahaha.he is one FUNKY dad! i call him "brudder!" bcause he told me to.e he e he e he.and he told me about his story with his wife when they were in sec sch and he came out with all sorts of ridiculous acronyms etc..and yada yada yada.
teehee.cool person. =D

and tdy's sermon was good! *thumbs up t wanpingping*! oh.and sharing during cell was great too! *thumbs up to zibing*! and yes, well done to ros, mel and kare for icebreakers and p&w.whoot!great song mel wrote.except that awful sounding ppl like me cnt sing that high.yes dear, please consider that the next time u write a song.AHAHAHAHAHA.

that aside.

graciousness!yes, we gotta be graceful t people.carry the spirit of love wherever we go.punishment comes from God, we do not take revenge,its not right no matter what.besides, as christians, we ARE called to suffer.but, it is good.why? because through these "sufferings", we becaome who God wants us to be.Jesus suffered on the cross, He showed grace t those who crucified Him.He died for them.we all owe our lives to Jesus.take it or not.i'm taking the life He's given me.

oh yes.please do not side track, lynette.anw.we ought to show grace to those who have hurt us, and let go and forgive.we need t still be able t perform acts of love in front of them.that is what Jesus did.remember, WWJD[what would Jesus do?].when we bear bitterness, we are harming ourselves and the other party.we cant worship our Holy God with unforgiveness.and well allow satan to enter the life of the other person.we're like murdering them!and when we do not forgive others, God cannot forgive us.because He is holy.
yes.so at the end of the day, GRACE is important! =D

i sure graceyew would love what i just typed.since her name is splashed all over.AHA!

alright.AGABOOM!i'm off t dreamland!
oh.bfore that!

i'll never know how much it costs to see my sin upon that cross
ilovemyJesus!!


somethings bothers me.
what i hear is right, because its what i see.
BUT.what i hear but do not see, but sounds logical, seems right too.
alright.i've concluded.
the Bible is mt ONLY authority.
what may seem right may not be right after all.
and the Bible cannot be against itself.

and why seven times?mm.wanted t ask zibing alot of times but keep forgetting.why must the blood of the offering be dripped 7 times in the old old old church in the Old Testament.what's the significance of 7?

and i figured what's an ephod and its significance.*chomp chomp*

the bible is a great read.
no, its more than a read.
its..mm.no words can describe a book mighty.

anyway.i seriously have doubts on my ability to discipline my thoughts and FINGERS!
i cant seem to hold a pen when i'm out of class, and sometimes, even in class.the ten long (actually short and stumpy) things sticking out are 90% of the time on the keyboard or handphone number pad!

or the remote controller.

speaks alot huh?and its a few more day's to chi o's!

NO MORE BLOGGING OR ONLINING AFTER THIS.
maybe i should self-confiscate my handphone.i'll lock it to my fingers.
NO.i mean, lock it somewhere lah.preferably somewhere i wont knw.but it can bt possible since i'm going to SELF confiscate it.

so i'm not making sense.

alright.i'm stressed.

AHAHAHAHA.isnt that funny?

maybe i'm not stressed lah.i dun feel pressured.really.mm.or maybe hitting my head on the sch pillar has made me go cuckoo.well..i cant be sure.

ok.God has been a really good God.because i dun feel stressed.i know this sounds funny lah.but i nvr felt stressed for exams bfore.well, maybe a couple of times, but seldom.and strangely, without studying much, i perform considerably well.i believe if i put in more effort and aim higher, i can do much better.

since i think i did quite well for emath but was LABELLED as "under-performing".well.i still got a prize.so it doesnt matter.heh.as long as i'm still amongst the stronger ones, i'm content.i dun have to be the best.

WAIT.that's the wrong attitude.i just learnt last sat! how can i forget?! OKAY.I'M GOING TO BE THE BEST.

I WANNA BE A BIG BANG FOR JESUS!
*inspired by wanling.

for You did not give me a spirit of timidity
ilovemyJesus!!


i heard that jiaqi wrote sth abt someone thinking that christianity is all about going to heaven.mm.and so happens i talked abt it a few days ago.

disclaimer: christianity is not ALL about going t heaven.and i alrdy said that in that post.its a relationship with God.anw.that post was meant t hit on people who want t get to heaven, basing their faith in works.yea.

well.i hope no one backslided upon misunderstanding what i meant. =D

dear Daddy, thank You for being with me today again.
i love You and i'll go where You sent me.if its Your will, its my will.Father, i'll fight the bad things and bad thoughts in me.i want to be like Your Son You sent.i'll learnt to give to You.teach me to live.i praise You and i thank You.in Jesus' name, i ask and pray, amen.

ONE DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP BREATH OUT.eyes closed, ears shut.i can only hear My Father's voice,not even my own.i chose THE way.i smile.

He came into my darkness and He gave me sight
ilovemyJesus!!


bummer.i just realized.
njc's trg days are on
mon, wed, fri, sat & sun
so much for 5-day work week.

yes.i agree.i always wanted train very very hard and commit t canoeing as much as possible.but i think i seriously will tire out.

let's knock on vjc's door.
but this doesnt mean i dont want to go to njc anymore.
i'm still interested.

anyway.i salute to NJC canoeing team
for training so hard
for giving their best
for doing 2 times as much work as crescent does in half the time.
for being disciplined
for being determined
for being encouraging
for being serious
for being focused
for being able to maximise trng time
for nvr being content with where they are
for the strong fighting spirit
for the eagerness to win themselves, instead of others
for daring to take up challenges

and yes,
i thank them for the nice snrs whom i dun rly know well.
but yea, they're pretty nice.
namingly mindy, who took me for water trng.
well.the rest are pretty friendly.
they smiled.and one offered deniece and i paper and pen t take notes.
mmm.

lastly.i admire them for tiring out the legendary super woman, lynette.
i didnt evn have enough energy t raise a hand t tab my ezlink card after trng.

alright.that's a bit of exaggeration.i could tab my card.but after 2 days, my muscles still ache.despite endless pasting of salon pases.

BY THE WAY
i missed out an important event ytd.
I WENT FOR BIG WALK!
ahaha.hilarious.some camera man took a pic of bernice and i in distress.
we were running away frm this guy who dressed up as a dracula.
FREAKED US OUT BEEEEEG TIME.
and this pink and white ghost-like monster thingy.EEK.
many strange sporeans in strange costumes.
UGH.and i do NOT like clowns.
literally clowns.they are so scary! and i met a few thr.
=(
worse of all.i didnt bring my goodie bag coupon.
which, for in case u dun knw, is the ONLY reason why i decided t walk that 10km.
HRMPHS!
well.i'm gg t read the news now.for all i knw, i might just see bernice and i on the front cover with our horrible faces.
or maybe a few of my pictures.
i flashed my million dollar smile for the reporters. =D
praise You when i'm laughing, praise You when i'm grieving
ilovemyJesus!!


hmm.now i'm in a dilema.and i have 2 wks t sort it out bfore application for NJC throu DSA closes.
to go, or not?
well,njc's rly where i want t go.and though the trngs's rly tough, like boot camp, i love it,its pushes us to go on.nothing easy gets us somewhere.i like the trng there.their discipline and determination, being rly focused on goals.and its progressive.if i want t do sth, i want t give my best.do it well.and that's what i see in njc canoeing.

i may tire out and faint after every trng, but i get stronger each time.
and what attacks me previously, won't be able t do so the nxt time.

and this reflects our walk with God alot.our walk with God is nvr easy.bcuz if it was, how can we grow? its a battle every time.and through such battles, we're mould into who God wants us t be.in hebrews 12:2, we're told t "fix our eyes on Jesus", who is our "goal".ultimately, we wanna meet Him is heaven.right? and njc fixes their eyes and energy on their goals too.but anyway.this paragraph is out of point.i mean.yah.its not part of my dilema.

anyway.the prblem with njc is that.being too focused on trng doesnt give me time for myself, and more importantly God.i want God to be my first priority.and i dun know if He'll nod His head and smile if i go t njc.i cant figure at the moment.is this a blessing and opportunity frm God? or is this a trial temptation? could this be a boat i need t put down?

if i can be sure that i WOULD be able t make time for God if i'm disciplined, i will make the choice t apply for the sch.but now, i'm not even confident of being able t do so even if i'm rly disciplined.i've seen the snrs thr.they packed with sch and trng.and even those who are christians, i heard, spend little time with their Father.

dear Daddy, talk to me.i want to put You first.show me what You want of me.Lord, i want to go to NJC.but if its not Your will for me to do so, i will not.i listen to You, Daddy.

Saturday, May 21, 2005

i want to know Your pleasing and perfect will for me.so, renew my mind
ilovemyJesus!!


brrr.its rly cold now.its like 6am++ in the morning.and i'll be leaving the house in abt half an hours time.to meet deniece frm gess, who is a fellow canoeist.and we're both going t join njc for trng.with anther cedar person i've yet t find out.actually, i didnt knw cedar had a canoeing team.heh.

deniece is like so good lah! they'll sure confirm her admission t njc.but nvm.i know i will still have a promising funture ahead with or without njc since God has planned it for me.

dear God, i pray that you will be wit me as i go for trng with njc tdy.and i thank you for the opportunity.Lord, i pray that i'll be able t get in.but i want Your will and not mine.pls prepare my future.in Jesus' name, amen.

and grace yew is so sweet and encouraging.I LOVE YOU GRACE!btw, guess what? i'm not afraid or nervous about tdy's trng/interview anymore! =D i figured i have nothing t lose.if i get it, its a benefit.if i dun, i'm still back t square one, plus an extra experience.yea.thx grace.i'm thankful for YEW. =D

alrights.im gg t have breakfast and tie my hair and leave alrdy.tata!
and hopefully, i'll have enough time t come back and blog before going t church.hmm.we'll see.

salvation is here, salvation that died just to set me free
ilovemyJesus!!


yet another super fun lesson-free day in sch.
hmm.tdy i know my L1R5.rly reflects on the effort i've put in.
i ask myself.am i rly achieving what i'm supposed t achieve?
i think i'm under performing.
so many tchers have told me i'm under-performing.
and i keep telling myself and others not t wry abt my results cuz i knw that if i'm serious abt studying, i can get a gd L1R5.
problem is, knowing this isnt enough.
action, speaks louder than words.
work hard, lynette.stop procrastinating.

anyway.had alot of fun with gwen and sheri.since i spent the whole sch day with them.haha!sheri is like rly cute? i'm gg t bring her home t put on my table.

and t update u on my admission t njc.
i'm meeting their tcher at macritchie on sat morning at 8am.
pls pray that i will be able t wake up.HAHAHAHA.
but more importantly, pray that i know what t say.
be with me, Daddy. =D

alright.spiritual food for thought.
where do people go after they die? heaven? hell? our souls are eternal.ETERNAL, i repeat.where do u want t spent it? such things are not up t fate or what have you.its all abt a personal decision.this is my belief, the only way t heaven is through someone by the name of Jesus Christ.it is written in the bible that only by grace through faith in Jesus can we make it t heaven, and not through works [ref Ephesians 2:8-9].and the bible is true.its not just me who believes tht it's true.its really proven by historians etc.and the bible is God's words.

christianity is not just a religion.if u do think so, i'm sry, u've missed the point.it is a relationship with God.isnt that awesome?i believe through this relationship i can go to heaven and spent eternity there.

and if u think this whole thing is a fraud, [though it is proven true], and that works can get u to heaven.then we'll STILL be going t heaven.since when we have faith in God, we'll obey Him.and deeds follow after faith.so its a "win-win" situation.

personally.i feel that only by my relationship with the Son who died for the cause can take me to the Father.and i believe its true.and nothing shakes my faith.i do hope you, reading this, rly think and ponder abt ur life after death on earth.where would u go? where would u wanna go? its your choice.

there it goes.sth i was thinking about.yup. =D

signing off!
