Came home from somerset really late yesterday!
ELEVEN PLUS! :XX

Hehe.. like Pastor Shirley who got her Oo Long Tea after a long day; i just drank two cups of Orange Juice after i reached home! HAHA! nice one.. XD

Well, i felt that this first week of school has been really long and pretty tiring; my body had somehow adapted to more work and my brain seems to be functioning okay~phew.
I had Principle of Economics and Statistics as my new Business subjects
-really hard i think.more maths! and more memorising; NO No no.. more of understanding.
Had Computer Programming, Problem solving thing?, Systems Concept
-those are engine and additional subjects bah..
whoo.. more subjects = more projects. :X
and need to pay more for books.wahahaa..

I hope i can really keep up this sem!
Oh, time will fly and the end of the year is coming..
Til then! ((:



*I will live a child in awe of you

Another long day but REAL FUN day today!

Firstly.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRYSTAL!! :D
i would say.. you and Bern invited the most friends this MCG! *claps*

Yeap. we had a Steamboat party at my house..yum~
B'DAY B'DAY BANG BANG
the main objective is of course, to have fun! haha, celebrate the last day of school, and also to celebrate our beloved october babies' birthday.. Abigail, Chrystal and Dawn! :D

Really.. my house almost exploded man! the visitors outnumbered the members and about 30plus people came i think.. *claps again!* though the food is just nice, we don't see a miracle of 12 basketful of fishes and bread left like the one in the Bible.. BUT God bless us in the fellowship and fun atmosphere! it was really crazy lah.. ppl playing with balloons and such. screaming.. just catching up..
HAHAHA! and i realised East B's trademark is to tickle one another! esp Bernadette ah.. your voice very high pitched! hahaa.. but i shall still tickle you more! wahahahaha... XD

Really thank you for all those who helped out! In food, decor, hosting, esp calling down your friends to join this event, and also thank God simply for you! East B, we are Christ ambassadors.. let's continue to connect and tell others of the love of God!
c'mon let's sing it now....
I LOVE THIS FAMILY OF GOD....
....
....



*always know who you are serving for

Im still feeling HIGH now!! hahaa..
Just went to watch THE CLICK FIVE LIVE at MOS!!! :DD
can you believe that.. hahaa, i'm not a bragger but i think i'm taking note of this as part of history of my life. lols. First time (i think!) catching a band live! and it's at MOS-which means you can enter even when you're under 18! wheee...

Well, in the first place.. really thanks to Wan Shin and Shahirah for inviting me over! haaa.. i felt so priviledged man. XD
We reached MOS like in 6plus when the show started at 7.30pm! and the queue is already longgg.. haha yeah. some problems cropped up with the tickets of the entrance..SO, we came in pretty late and don't have a good view of them!
Ahhh.. dumb; some huge speakers are blocking the drummer and we were kinda at the back! i was short so.. yeah~ i tip-toed most of the time lah. -.-
if only i were taller..
if only i was a ballerina so i can tip-toe more..
haha! ok nvm. somehow got a good view of them when they were recording down the video for the song EMPTY~

STILL EXCITED NOW.
hahaa.. actually wanted to miss out on the autograph session as it was too late;
but Wan Shin persuaded me and yeah.. i shook hand with all of them!!! *grins*
so sad the bouncers don't allow us to take individual photo with the members.. hais.
Well though i'm not a huge CLICK FIVE fan, but you know we girls will go ga-ga over those boy bands. HAHAHA! :D psst! i like that Bassist Ethan! XD




Overall.. me and most people are now ga-ga over them now! yes NOW; but i don't think i'll be a long loyal fan to CLICK FIVE. I don't know, just felt that way.. Not as long as i adore Michelle Branch and Sherina Munaf! ((: heheheee..
Besides, all these things are just temporary ah.. singers, bands, movies, new songs... they come and go. I still think songs written for our Papa in heaven are much more worthwhile.. more Spirit-stirring.. meaningful lyrics.. a love song too..!! ((:


*gahhh i hate this, i cant post photos. sorry! >.<

One way in getting yourself out of your bad in the morning!

Set your alarm clock.
(or most of us will use our handphone..)
Put it metres away from our bed.
Done.

HAHA!
you'll get your blood ciculated in the morning by walking a few distance to shut your alarm clock, and there you'll be more awake. haha!
Shall try not to snooze my alarm too often.. haaa.. Discipline! XD



*French class is a bit, err.. difficult for me i guess!
Should have gotten in to psychology! -.-

Attended Combined Team Rally (21/10) -
wahh.. thankfully I didn't miss our on the time of praise! The whole Nexus was filled! serious; even few people gotta sit on the stairs.heee.. But the best part is that the whole church just jump and sing for joy to our God, clapping in unison!whooo, mao zhan! It's really great to have a glimpse of it! Imagine youth service are filled!
Ahhh.. one row for MacPherson! :)


One more thing, there is an insect that entered my room just now! gah.. i have phobia already. I've encountered enough with beetles, now it's some kind of a grasshopper! Gah, my Mum refused to help me sweep so... i'll just wait.
Did tried to take the broom and swat it around to alert it, but to no avail.
So i did other things first before i saw it walking (creeping..what's the term? >.<) towards the window! haha.good chance,perhaps i'll just open the window wide and prayerfully no other insects will come in.
HAHAH! and it did flew out of the window! yayyy~

I'm always tested in this area eh.. :X
what i thought is that God loves the insects until it doesn't want it to be killed by me. (XD sounded like im the monster)
okay.done.










Escapism..
God i can't take it anymore.
what's the use they will never understand.
i'm not good enough.
i just can't talk to that person.
can i just give up now God?
no use one lah, sure no people come one.
love the unlovable.
you hurt my heart, just leave me.
can you stop nagging?

then. cry.
what's the use


Why so downcast o my soul, put your hope in God :)
Why so negative o my mind, renew it by God's Spirit :)


Don't give up on yourself, or others.. because God NEVER give up on you..

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.

*Romans 12:2

This song just came to me when I was praying..
(:
seems like I just gotta GO and trust God in all things that I do..
I don't care about what others will think or say;
God had given me the school, if I don't do it.. who will?

C'MON FAITH TEAM!! EAST B!!! EAST!!!! :DD

ALL DAY

#I don't care what they say about me
It's alright, alright
I don't care what they think about me
It's alright, they'll get it one day.

#~I love you, I'll follow you
You are my, my life

*This is for you-

Today is THURSDAY!
Right.. when I came online, my classmates are like asking me, "Which CDS did you get in to?"
Hahaa, this will be a typical question asked in poly when you start a new sem i guess. XD
Well, i got in to French class! :DD yayyy--
Nothing to be proud about but i was just like, "I'm lucky.." hahas..quite looking forward in learning a new language. but not so much in going for normal classes. :X I shall still praise God for the new timetable.. Rejoice in all circumstances!! Honestly, the timings are not great-ha. How i wish there's an error to the timetable and all will be changed to morning classes! >.< how i wishhhh... God, you make a way okay.. ((:

Today's evax was not that fruitful, huhuuu.. God, help help help!!
but FINALLY, got to finalised MCG planning! (:
B'DAY B'DAY BANG BANG !! :DD
here we comee...



OH! keep on JIA YOU for the O levels students!!! :D

11 The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

*Isaiah 58:11 (:

Hohohoo.. been almost a week since i've updated.
I guess i've been busy "tour-guiding" my uncle and cousin from Jakarta- awww man.. they just went back this morning! =(
Yeah, do have fun with them.. oh! we went to Snow City and Science Centre! wahahahaa.. the place has changed quite a lot. geee.. i was telling most people that i miss the Mirror Maze! i cant find it there. ah well.. really felt like tourists once again. we walk walk walk.. a lot of places lah. No visitation to the zoo this time, all activities are indoors! pretty boring i would say.. XD



Every group seems to be soo high up in preparing for the last lap of CG08!
I am too but i was so frustrated with myself that i kept on procrastinating in completing my tasks! whatever it is on hand.. when i have time on hand i seems to take it for granted. when i got no time i'll chiong. -.- bad~
Well, holidays are coming to and end. What have i achieved from this 6 weeks holidays? Gosh.come back come back.. i guess it's really me.or is it the season.. i'll tend to feel more slow when it's holidays mood. The things that i don't want to do yet i kept on doing. Ahhh.. gotta have a breakthrough! Shall not remain the same or else i'll reap similar results. hurhurr..
I know when school starts, it's going to be madness. haha. chiong for so many things! but i'm holding on.. God seems to be preparing me for it. C'mon.. we gotta grow!!



Dear God,
strengthen my physical body
prepare and charge up my spirit
keep me focus as i serve you
;
this is the final lap
-the last quarter of 2007!
so fast but i know you're still with me
don't made me regret that i don't give my best this time
amen.

[Joshua 1:3]
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.



*Flu and sore throat.. please go away~ -.-

Had a great day with Joy and my sheepmates today! yeahh.. did enjoy the time spent together learning the word, taking jumping photos.. and God, you rock the most.. how can you paint the sky soooo beautifully!! aawww.. :DD
don't know why.. i love to see clouds! esp in the morning when it's sunrise.. or when it's super sunny at 4plus onwards..whoo~ very niceee..

ahh ok, i cant upload the photos now.. XD


------------------------------------------------


"I just cant understand how one has everything but still feel miserable."

I also catched The Nanny Diaries today with some of the Mentoring people. :)
The show just made me awww.. haha! a simple movie that shows a typical rich family that neglects a child because both parents are busy with their own thing, and only take their child as what? lol. -.-
I think it's really a pity when the child only receives love when they receives material things, but not the true love that their parents can give personally; like through words, time spent, actions of love, etc.. Every child longs to be looked at, to be given the attention.. haha, that's how the nanny said such words as above^

You know, you can start turning around the sour or cold atmosphere in your house by presenting the love of Christ as well! Be the first one who initiates things.. family outings, dinner, whatever things~ don't close up your mindset that things can turn out good. don't get discouraged at first. You and your household will serve the Lord together! :))



*GOTTA GROW!

I do yearn for more of you oh God.
Don't wanna be stuck to the same old process;
going round in eights..
But i wanna be all that you want me to be,
maximise my full potential.
I want to grow!!!
It requires discipline,
i need even more of the desire,
and to speak through my actions of all the things that i know.
Use me Lord!
Keep reminding me of what is right.
Guide me on where should i go now..



*My joy and my strength is ever in you
Let's stretch for Jesus! :D

Went to help out at Water Baptism Decor today; i've got kaysee and jeslin to help me out too. yayy (: was happy and thankful that they can come to help out until kaysee couldn't make it in the last minute and jeslin's going to be late!
Silly me, i though what if Decor will be short-handed today and i'm not so good in handling with balloons! >.< in Decor but i cant really tie a balloon, i'll took some time to struggle with it. :X

Was nervous after i got the two news..oops. don't know why.. but i guess i'm the kind of person who will get jin zhang pretty easily when things don't go as planned, or when i'm somehow responsible for it! haaa.. But i found myself starting to pray after that; i asked God to help me. I don't know, God make a miracle that i can do Decor properly, use me with whatever skills that i have now in craft.. and God, please don't let it rain! yeah..the sky was very grey that time and it did rained. hohoh.. reminds me of Pastor PN's prayer to bring the rain back to Bangkok! XD

Furthermore, back to the prayer.. i found much peace and assurance after that; and i was trusting in God's promises.
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." -Proverbs 16: 3
Well, in the end, there's other helpers from tertiary and adults Decor team. hehehee.. we chiong to pump those helium balloons! and the sky changed to be so sunny during the water bapt. thank you God! ((:



----------
Oh btw, Happy Birthday to Wan Qi! yeahs, Esther! :D



*F.R.O.G = Forever Relying On God! ((:

Went to JB with the TP Yhope people on Tuesday (02/10/07)
Whole much fun- went for a hair cut, yeah that was good. first time cutting my hair with friends. haha! Shopping.. personally i didn't shop at all but spent most of my money on food only~
Went to have our dinner. hahah. i think God put a test in this that i can see his protection and guidance? yeah. All of us were in groups of different taxis and all taxis dropped us at different places! gosh.. JB leh, a foreign place. >.< kena cheated with the cab fare as well. :X -heaved- but that's okay lah, we managed to locate one another and tadaahh had a great feast!
Hehe, would say that I rarely travel out alone like that. But gaahhh.. reached home at 1am? and caught red handed by my Dad. -.- i thought i'll dieee~ but he didn't say much.


Been thinking about this a lot and i just cant seem to find a good solution - about reaching home late. haha! sounds funny but my whole family, even those in Jakarta knew that i usually reached home late on Saturdays, at times weekdays.. And they forbid me that. Believe many parents too, but sometimes i just cant help it you see, with all meetings etc. and the fact that everytime you gather with your care group or fellow believers you just cant bare to part but to have fun. heh.is that an excuse? hmm..

I guess one part i was wrong in this. Yes, it's dangerous to be out at night. I would also say that majority of my time (even yours! yea you..) would be spent outside. School + CCA, outings, gatherings, bla bla blaa.. And we'll just reached home and drop tired at our beds without communicating much with our family members. Good for you if your family members are Christians and went to the same church..they can understand right?
For my case, my Dad's a Buddhist; most of aunts and uncles too. I'm afraid i'm not a good steward and this i may give a bad impressions to them as Christians.
So the question is this. How are you maximising your time today?
Colossians 3:23
This includes spending time with our family too i guess. Please don't give an excuse that you need to spend time with your family or what then skip important meetings, CG or service!! grr.. it's wrong. It's all about time management, prioritising and what works best.

*
Whatever it is, it all boils down to being a good salt and light to out family! and friends.. At the end of the day, i hope that they can very soon see the love of God and serve Him together with me! :)

----it's 4th of October already!!!?
