24th Mar 09 (Tues) got back my report book and these are my results. Amath - 86.1 Science - 76.0 CH - 69.2 English - 52.5 i know that i should feel blessed for the results gave although im quite dissappointed with my english and my combined humans. :( 25th Mar 09 (Wed) im like seriously sick for going for piano lessons at this point in time i mean, this year is my Os for nuts and instaed of taking this away, my parents took choir out of my life. i seriously have no time to practise piano. just when my parents are thinking that choir is affecting my studies, my piano THEORY EXAM IS IN OCT which is during my Os, how smart is that. now ive to study for both my academics and theory during this period how PERFECT!!! X( 26th Mar 09 (Thurs) had a fire drill tdy and man was it time-consuming, thank God that this is just a one-time thingy. 27th Mar 09 (Fri) went out with XX and cherylL for lunch aft sch and did some heart-to-heart talking which made me felt as if there was a sense of belonging in sch. :D 28th Mar 09 (Sat) went to sch tdy to paint the wall in our ckassroom. afterwards, i went to church for loving/caring day. 29th Mar 09 (Today) went to church today and ive to say that the message was... unique. i shant judge ppl preaching coz i myself cant do a better job so im gna suppress my feelings until it is gone. ive been thinking a lot lately abt my spiritual walk in 2009, how i got through my depression of the absence of 大姐大, the person who stood by me whenever i was down, joycelyn, the friend which ive been through trials with and happy jovial sarah, the one who nvr fails to cheer me up with craziness but i was in pain. somehow, God managed to drive away all that emptiness and have brought me an extremely caring and sacrificial friend like shengwei and answered my prayers of being forgiven and pardoned by the ones whom i once hurt. despite having all my prayers answered and all my problems resolve, i feel as if im drifting away from God as i begin reading the bible less frequently and worse still, conforming back to my sinful habits such as gossiping. im feeling rather vexed with myself as i just simply cant stop sinning and having received much, i feel as if ive done nothing and on the contrary, ive been continuously sinning and became the pot calling the kettle black telling other not to sin when i myself am no different. Dear Father, i come to you tdy Lord for repentance. i havent been doing my best telling others abt your word, preaching to them of what youve done, disobeying your commandments, living through you testimonies. i ask that you will be able to search my heart and cleanse me from my sins. i also pray for all my friends dear Lord that their spiritual hunger for the wisdom would be able to grow day by day. may you pls grant all my friends safety and as they face through their own sets of trials and tribulations, pls be able to guide them into the path which you want them to seek. i commit everything now into thy very precious hands. In Jesus name we pray, Amen. 16th-20th Mar 09 (Tues-Fri) it has been a pretty mundane march hols, just eating, studying and sleeping, i did had a busy week though as i needed to attend 2 piano lessons and amath tuition. anyway im gna post this video abt oprah and my advice for those christians oh are big fans of her is to pls be discerning and think twice whenever you hear words of 'wisdom' from her. most importantly, check the BIBLE when you have doubts of what she says. a video on oprah denying christ John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. hope that this video may help you reconsider taking up her advices so PLEASE dont be so guiliable and believe that everything she says is correct coz even a faithful servant of God makes mistakes, let alone her. 14th March 09 (Sat) went flagging tdy with abi, aaron and cherylL at suntec coz there was an IT fair which sells comps at super discounted prices. before that, we window-shopped around the place for an hour or so and then flagged for another hour +. the gd news is the prices have decreased rapidly. the bad news, you have to battle with the crowd for anything and EVERYTHING. jostling with the crowd was extremely time-consuming as we needed to even queue to take the escalator! X( .jpg) just simply look at the crowd .jpg) sercurity guards were needed to control the no of ppl walking up the escalator  i fell in love with this!!! :D .jpg) cherylL, abi, me and aaron 15th Mar 09 (Today) went to church today and learnt abt the reason of praying despite the knowledge of God's infinite knowledge. ive learnt the 4Ds of prayer. Direct Direct prayer is the normal prayer that God would answer the way you like it or the way you expect. Denied Denied prayer is the request which God clearly says a big NO to when your requests are either unrealistic or with sin taken place in it. Delayed Delayed prayer is the prayer which God will answer after a super DUPER DUPER long time. one stupid example from my life would be that i received my first gameboy only 2 years after i prayed so briefly abt it. Different Different prayer is the most interesting prayer of all as the bible always says 'ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you will find'. however, i always wonder when God dont seem to answer our prayers, could it be coz we are too impatient or and are just too blind to see that we fail to match the correct anwsers God has given us to all the wrong questions. ive always realized that even though God doesnt answer my prayers the way i want i want it, He still eventually manage to help me find a another path and hence, He does not only grants my request but more importantly, grants the meaning and the objective of my my requests. eventually the Lord creates this will of His to please himself and more importantly for us as well. the Lord indeed moves in mysterious ways and im amazed of the miracles he caused! :D Jeremiah 15:11 (NKJV) The LORD said: Surely it will be well with your remnant; Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction. ok im gna bed now bye!!! :D 13th Mar 09 (Thurs) brought a stephen chow movie called 'God of Cookery' for the senior citizens to watch today and the movie was like extremely hilarious until i almost laughed my head off and i was glad that many of the senior citizens were laughing. aft the movie, abi, cherylL and i went back into the accupucture room and played big2 for the 45mins with the door locked and lights out making sure that no one would notice us slacking inside the place. suddenly, we heard the sound of keys dingling and dangling and as we heard the sound of the key being inserted into the keyhole, we began panicking and giggling away hiding the cards away as fast as possible. as the nurse came in, she merly looked at us and took something out of the drawer in the room and then left off turning off the lights locking the door for us and we continued playing big2. aft service learning, we the 3 of us met aaron at vivo and together the 4 of us went to watch 'he's just not that into you'. during our 2 hour interval, we went window-shopping at the nike and addidas shops, played like a TOYS'R'US kid and had another game of big2. the movie was very funny and extremely witty woots! :D 13th Mar 09 (Thurs) today is the last day of my service learning trip. i had fun talking to this old lady and it was really interesting how the staff over there were also trying to poke fun at her, she is seriously ADORABLE!!! :D ive really enjoyed the past 3 days that i spent with the elderly. although, it was not as enjoyable as last year's trip, i believe and feel that this year's trip is definitely more memorable as ive done more than ive expected and even though the senior citizens didnt gave me the respond i expected, i know that God will want me to enjoy this trip as much as possible. to cherylL/abi/aaron: i really wanna thank you guys for an extremely wonderful time ive had with each and everyone of you. i feel that we have really bonded together despite all the trials that our class has been through. i once again truly thank the 3 of you for a remarkable time that weve have spent together. :D photos:  cherylL, abi and i wearing class jersey MY TRUE FEAR
i think thats rather true. hey ppl! it has been abt a week since i last blog so here is a SUPER LONG UPDATE. 9th-10th Mar 09 (Mon-Tues) super boring last two days of school for the term. 11th Mar 09 (Today) went to QMSC for my service learning trip but brfore that, i met up with cherylL and aaron at a coffeeshop near commonwealth MRT in the morning and then MRTed to queenstown. the was one senior citizen whom i talked to who feel guilty for being a burden to his children and soon after, he started crying and i felt like totally clueless as i didnt expect to see anyone sad. i ended up alone patting his back for 5mins until marcus came to my rescue and taught me how to counsel him. another incident that happened was that i tried to talk to this old lady who only speaks canto leaving me absolutely puzzled and wondering what she is saying -_-. aft weve knocked off, charis, pamela, cherylL and i lunched at ikea and began talking for the next 3 hours reminiscing about the past. aft charis left, cherylL, pamela and i went to anchorpoint to window shop and sat at the foodcourt to continue our trip down memory lane. today was FUNNNNN! lunch with charis, pam and cheryl was the BOMB!!! :D IN LOVE WITH THE NOOSE!!! for those who wanna watch lulu pls start at 5:37. im gna blog abt something that ive learned from sunday school last week and it is survivng on Earth as a 21st Century christian and how to refrain from the PESTS. Political the politics today are getting more and more linient in sense of accepting sin as 'legal' in the law such as the current US president Obama letting the efforts of the USA Gay Rights Associations in demanding for their freedom prevail when it is clerly stated in the bible that homosexuality is an outright sin. Economical the economy is going through a serious downturn and during this time as we hope that many would come to the house of the Lord, many would turn to other alternatives to make ends meet such as going boarding the cruise ship for the weekend at the casino. if the economy continues to worsen for the next couple of years, many would start turning to gambling and with the IRs opening in the nxt few years to come, the poverty in singapore may even continue to increase. Social we are active socially especially for students like us who goes to school 5 times a week and meet up our friends often during the weekends and the holidays, it is actually the 2nd-most difficult aspect among the 5 to refrain from such as sex, violence, smoking and for less-serious cases such as spewing vulgarities and giving in to peer pressure by drinking alchohol. it is extremely difficult especially when you feel left out and far way from the ppl around you. however, the correct thing to do is to nvr stop turning to God in prayer coz He is indispensible and always rdy to talk you, His words are 100 times more precious than the lastest gossips in school, the hottest stars in hollywood etc. hence, when you feel like you are giving in to peer pressure, the first thing you must do is to turn to God in prayer. without His strength, resisting and fleeing from temptaion is practically impossible. Technological the latest ipod, iphone and the the $899 lenovo laptop that ive been dying to have. all this worldly possessions are simply just worthless and the internet is so dangerous that you may not even know that you accidentally click on a virus in disguise such as the current facebook virus around or maybe even porn. Spiritual the most important and the most difficult aspect among the 5 is spiritual coz there are so much conflicts among fellow christians, let alone conflicts among the non-christians. issues such as the gay pastor in singapore and charismatism which im really confused at the moment right as i dont know whether my church is being too stict or the charismatic movement is just plain wrong in conclusion, i just wanna say that in the 21st Century, we as the light of the world and the salt of the earth must not fall into the evil hands of satan and i will end my post with a verse. Romans 12:2 (KJ21) And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. |
