11:31 PM STRENGTH.
Psalm 118 I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The LORD is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me. It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidences in princes. All nations surrounded me. But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They surrounded me like bees; They were quenched like a fire of thorns; For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. You pushed me violently, that I might fall, But the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. . . Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. went out with eloise, qian and annlynn to Tamp One today:) realised there are ALOT of things i still have not explored/known about Tamp One! but i think it's a really cool place still:) there are so many many nice stuff we can get from there next time! eloise having been talking about FROLICK many many times in FB. haha it's this yogurt shop, and she simply loves it! so i'm so gotta try it some time:) i realised that i like painting nails recently! it makes me happy seeing colours on my fingers and toes. hehh. today we went to faceshop and i painted one hand with different shades of pink:) prettyyy. hahahh. anyway, yesterday met up with valerie ang:) and we had lunch at mos, it was a great meal man... i think she's someone i can really talk to, cause she can talk deep:) and not just superficial stuffs. hahaha.. and it's really awesome to see how God really planned moo to meet her and bring her back to church:) val ang is also amazed by God's plan! i know she's so gonna grow closer in her relationship with God in hoGc:) meeting up every week for lunch... how cool is that right?? haha happy happy birthday cindy!:D went down to surprise cindy at her school too.:) it was really successful cuz she was so surprised when i called her and told her i was outside her school! haha and it was even better when jianfan surprised her by appearing later then... and with egg tarts to substitute for bday cake:) i think we are the first to surprise her man! it's really been amazing how cindy and i got to become good friends! from the BTB project we had last year...:) hahah. and i gave her a card i made with our photo(first time printing out a photo) eh i think it's quite pretty:) time does fly man, the 6 of us used to hang out together. but it's not quite possible now, with all the busyness in life. haha! i REALLY miss sherlyn... man. but the worst part was i took a taxi back and i left my macbook in the cab!! ohmygoodness, it scared the nightlights outta me man. i was sososososo scared, never felt that afraid before (even worse than my near-death experience) THANK GOD, managed to contact the taxi driver and got it back safely:) really thank God!!! right now i'm treasuring my macbook even more... i've hugged it a couple of times already. ohman, i cannot imagine how it'd be like if i really lost it. no, shall not imagine! haha i really feel God has been guiding my paths throughout everything. even though sometimes it feels like things are not going right, or it feels like it could've been better... i have the assurance that God has heard my prayers and He's there every single second to help make things come to pass:) God, i know you heard my cry. more and more and more of You. many things i might not understand... but it's okay, i might understand one day.:) a prayer every night. No matter what happens, Here I am standing Tuesday, April 28, 2009
12:32 PM loving RAIN
it's raining RIGHT now :D i miss the rain, miss the smell of it. haha, how nice to hear the thunder and see the sky slowly dimming!:) and hear the rain plitter platter. the past week has been terribly hot, so it makes the rain even timely-er and better!! happyyyyyy~ LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. going out to meet val ang soon:) seeyouuuu 3:27 AM the greatest love
just read zhilin's blog and i think one part she wrote was very powerful! it speaks right into my life:) " let's grow and mature. in every aspect of our life. sometime, we need to start all over again. and again. and again. and the ones who will celebrate your success and put behind the past with you are the ones you know they love you. the ones who keep reminding you of your past and put down your success, are the ones who have been waiting for your fall. but you gotta thank them, because they are the ones that help you grow in strength and in resilience. so lift up your head and see. " jianming ever shared that, actually all of us do not really need friends... in fact what we really need is encouragement. what's the point of friends who are only there to put you down just to make themselves feel better? do we really need people around us who will just be there in times of happiness and not trouble? everyone needs encouragement, whether it be big or small. just a simple gesture of concern can bring someone forward many many steps, can change the way someone feel about themselves, can make a person's day. what are friends for? to encourage, to build, to love... but in life, not everything is that simple.... a friend who was once the closest can become the furthest in a blink of an eye. a good friend can become a stranger just like that. this is life, REAL and right before our eyes. that is why a huge percentage of the world's troubles originates from relationships. because relationships is the most precious in this world. that is why we can never be too dependent on people. because if we do, when things change... we become vulnerable. that is why we can be God-dependent. because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. He never changes. NEVER. His love will always remain the same. He'll always be there to pick you up and push you forward on this life journey... always there to mend the broken hearted, to heal, to advocate.. that is my Jesus for you. :) just poured out my heart before God just now. i feel a trillion times better.:) change is gonna come, is happening. to lift our heads up and look unto Him.:) ps. the bestest friends i can ever find are right here in church, in D5. they are the people i LIVE life with together. they are the ones i run this race with every day. they are people i can just be myself with:) they encourage, they LOVE<3 thank God for such great people. 12:57 AM CHANGE.
once in a lifetime just today, i came to a bigger realization that my mom is a very strong woman. how she prays for her husband, always there to talk and share with him... although i wish my dad would be more understanding and everything, i really know how wonderful it is for my mom to be around. she's strong, really. :) one thing about my parents, even over the years they are still faithful to each other and love one another. no matter how big their quarrels, it will never change the commitment and relationship they have with each other. yes, the number one priority(beyond all the other qualities of a spouse) is FAITHFULNESS. that is one thing i really thank God for:) a great family even though it's never perfect. i'm in for change. each and every single day. people change, situations change. for good or for bad. whatever it is, i'll hang on to God's promise for me:) every day, running back to God. Jesus, i wanna love people more. wanna love them like how you loved me. show me how to Lord. there's gonna be a change. a change in the level of love. a change in reaching out to others. because of You.:) Monday, April 27, 2009
1:51 AM a step closer again
just had a nice bath:) terrible weather these days, have been sweating the most of my entire life! man, have been going back really late these days. gotta go back before midnight already!! zhilin, hongrui and i just went to eat the meatball soup further down from church. we were starving like crazy man... haha! but now we feel FAT. cab fare was $12 for the 3 of us. not bad leh, considering it's midnight charge!! hahah. yesterday reached home around 1am too, because of some miscomm with my bro. haha but end up we took KS' car back with his mom. he really was our saviour at that moment man:) anyway, i'm so in love with the Depths of Your love song! i think it really speaks alot right at this point of time :) it just draws me in so deep, and builds up the faith within. today's Pst Lia's birthday celebration was sososososososo FUNNY. hahah, the theme was martial arts. and jieru's high pitch laughter is so recognisable:) even though CO really did not do up to expectations, we REALLY drew closer as a whole ministry! it's so wonderful, how this time we really just came together and want to make it happen although we were only informed last sunday! :) beyond all the laughter, it's really our gratitude and love for Pastor Lia... as i was writing the note on the card D5(made by Peifen and Annlynn) gave Pst, i nearly felt like tearing. i'm really moved by all that Pst has done for us... what better spiritual mother to have? can't wait for Pst to preach in service next sat! :) she's definitely gonna tear the whole place down:) hahaha hongrui keeps on saying 'could i ever' (even now on msn-.-) because of the FB note he took on whether he will get married. it's just really funny!! HAHA. MSN conv. hongrui - is planning on what to do for tommorow: i know the qualities of the person i like must be able to stand me haha i think really could i ever already hahaha because all cannot stand me WAH he's sucha joker! hahah. anyway on a serious note.. and what Pst Lia said just now, was something i really understood...bcuz the same thing went through my mind previously. about how it's been in the culture and how we encourage people to wait for the right thing at the right time, and be patient for the time you are ready etc... but it's only when Psts announced the first 4 couples, that it really is right before your eyes that IT IS POSSIBLE. i think it's a really powerful and realistic thing. like how God is gonna give the best to you, not just the best but the best just for YOU. most importantly is whether you are willing to be patient and trust in God's timing. everything has it's time and season:) giving God our best right now...he is going to lead us through and be our Provider, even in our future families. we do not know what lies ahead indeed, but as long as God's in control, it doesn't really matter:) we were just chit-chatting randoming while having supper just now. and the question was: how will our life be right now without Jesus in our lives? ..... i will never want that life man:) i love my life NOW! i'm glad i chose that path, God's starting to reveal much.:) thank God.<3 Sunday, April 26, 2009
2:14 AM Speaking to the mountains
Depths of Your Love - The Alternative Before the earth Before all days You knew me Formed in Your image Made in Your likeness You loved me The light of Your word The truth of Your promise Guides me The power of Your mercy The love of Your grace Deep inside of me It's the depths of Your love Moving in the depths of me I believe In the power of Your name I believe In the promise of faith I believe In the love of a God Jesus my Saviour I believe Speaking to this mountain To move into the ocean With Your authority Given to me No matter what happens Here I am standing On the hope of Your word Promised to me Friday, April 24, 2009
11:36 AM what real love can do
i just went to qian's blog and she had this really nice song:) so i shall kope it here too! hahaha.;) Cry On My Shoulder - Superstar If the hero never comes to you If you need someone you're feeling blue If you're away from love and you're alone If you call your friends and nobody's home You can run away but you can't hide Through a storm and through a lonely night Then I show you there's a destiny The best things in life They're free But if you wanna cry Cry on my shoulder If you need someone who cares for you If you're feeling sad your heart gets colder Yes I show you what real love can do If your sky is grey oh let me know There's a place in heaven where we'll go If heaven is a million years away Oh just call me and I make your day When the nights are getting cold and blue When the days are getting hard for you I will always stay here by your side I promise you I'll never hide What real love can do What love can do 1:57 AM tropical storm!
the winds these past 2 nights have been HUMONGOUS!!! right now.... it's blowing so strongly! i can hear many things being destroyed outside my house! man.... haha! better sleep soon :) shall have a good nights sleep with sucha weather! :D p.s it's so weird when the day was super HOT and now it's COLD.

what a day! been long since i traveled so much around singapore! the day started out with me meeting moo.. took bus 22 to angmokio and bus-ed to st nicks to meet faith lim and faith cheong during their recess :) i really should commemorate this day as it's the first time my cousin and i actually talked to each other!! can you believe it? for the past 13years, we hadnt actually talked! who says it's not God man!:) if you do not know... faith lim said she was bringing her friend, faith cheong on Good Friday.:) i was like wow cool man, and lucky i dint name myself faith bcuz it would have been funny to introduced myself to her as valerie faith cheong! and then at the same time i was also saying i decided not to name myself faith bcuz my cousin's called faith... and little did i know, the ever-so-famous 'faith cheong' who came actually turned out to be my cousin!!! (big wow!) and i only found out this monday!! it's a small world after all~ but i'm reaaaaaly glad! :D  valerie and faith cheong :) nyjc with eliz, yiwen and zhilin! haha it was just a real short time of around half an hour in the school... but i like the time spent with them :D girls, you gotta do well for exams okay.:) from there i went on to take the train to harbourfront, then the shuttle bus to sentosa! it's officially the FIRST time i've been to sentosa alone! me, myself and i. hahaha. terrible man, valerie's terrible at directions... took an hour just to find my destination around sentosa. and the sun was SCORCHING HOT. was perspiring like nobody's business. haha i don't think i've ever perspired so much in my life! the interview was alright. :) mass interview! it's quite cool that i got to know 3 friends from it. it was some random talk in the interview room... and it actually made the interview much more enjoyable. haha but i think i took away something from just getting to know these people. it really makes feel that hoGc is ever so special! what a precious thing we have right here in this place :) no better place than this on earth!! proceeded on to church for CO prac after the interview. (haha really long day!) was feeling so exhausted, but at the end of the practice it felt really accomplished! we did managed to master the piece! :) i'm really heartened to see Linus' hunger in learning and giving his best. i know God will give him His best too... hahaha so this is a summary of today. really gotta note down the events man... so significant :) every night, a touch of heaven..i believe.

"just watched handsome suit" i stared at it for a sec before realising that it was meant for tweeter. hah! sharyl was dumbfounded. she was like EH why you so funny! HAHA. i dreamt a really weird dream today. and it was indeed really weird. dreams doesn't make sense do they? hahah. but yeah, they make sleeping much more interesting :) much much more. and i still can't get over that FAITH CHEONG is my cousin!!! God works in mysterious ways! 4:54 PM 3:51 AM Gold With Honours!

PRSSCO got Gold With Honours today!! i think they really deserve it :) they played very very well.... there's really a unity within the orchestra when they play, and the songs just captivates you! HOGC CO will definitely be better one day! right now we are just like the 9 stones, with a strength of 9 in CO. hehheh. one day, one day. :) ohhhh i'm gonna start falling in love with juhuatai again. haha! p.s my eyes are watering now! must be time for bed;) 12:38 AM Peace I leave with you
so many things. so many many. recently there have been pretty alot going through my mind (i think always actually) hahah, it's like there are so many that sometimes you don't really know what. what i really like, what really helps is when every night, before i go to bed.. i'll lie down, look at the sky... and just talk to God. it's so comforting how God is always there to listen, always there as a refuge for us. everything, just every single thing on my heart, just lying there... it'll just pour out, so honest, so opened before Him. recently, i've been praying for the peace of God.upon every of our lives. how it's so lovely, so wonderful to have God's peace. not as the world gives :) team prayer meetings have been great, i see such passion in them as they pray. it is happening, it is ALREADY happening. God's gonna move so greatly. you know what? i'm gonna abide in God. all these i cannot do on my own. i pray for Your anointing O God... how Pastors, Leaders are people who really dwell in Your presence, that they are able to do so so much, yet always having such joy in everything they're doing :) i'm gonna dwell in You too. running back to You each and every single day Lord. i love You. Saturday, April 18, 2009
1:41 AM i'm gonna sleep early-er tonight :) anyway thoughts thoughts thoughts.. i REALLY gotta get a job man... gonna try out the interview at sentosa as some attraction host? abby's gonna help :) God's revealing each and every day more and more. gotta give Him my very best. never to grow weary amen? really glad to see Annlynn and Peifen rising up these days :) they are really wonderful people, suggesting and helping out in so many areas in D5. Peifen's administrating and leading the whole of Easter was incredible. really gave her 100%. awesome girl :) Annlynn just having such joy in her spirit to grow the team, to help out as much as she can, to organise prayer sessions together... there's a time for everything. now's the time... time for growth, breakthrough, expansion :) really can't wait to see them going towards their destiny in God. their potential :) like how we always say... this is what it is all about :) it's all worth it. --- haha anyway to sidetrack, today's module on managing people... the part on delaying gratification.(ability to delay/defer things)- it's a positive act. eg. option A/B. most people would go for A as it is immediate happiness. however, to be wise and look at the macro pic is to go for B. although it takes time, at the end you benefit more :) understand? if you don't, i do :) haha it really spoke into me quite abit even though it's not really what it meant in the context of our module. andd. my learning style is Visual. haha quite true. thinking about it, i use alot of visual thinking, and learning :) learning vs education. what's the difference? you can have education, without actually learning :) love life, love school, love learning! Monday, April 13, 2009

11:49 PM today's a special day:) birthday funeral wedding why i chose anastasia? 1) i like the name 2) i loved the movie when i was young. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXE4wCTqfL0 3) it means: one who rise again :) John14:27 "Peace I leave with you, not as the world gives do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Sunday, April 05, 2009

Saturday, April 04, 2009
1:07 AM people change. you know i can never fail to express how great God and church is... everything we have and experience in church right now is really too precious... it's not like anything else you can find in the world. where can you find people with such a heart of sacrifice? with convictions so strong that they are able to pass the test of 'waiting on God' even if it's for years and years and years every time i look at the people in church, and there's just this really sweet feeling :) it's like, wow... these people are amazing. just by observing the smiles and the joy and the way they present themselves, you don't need God to appear in front of you... I see God through the lives of these people :) culture vs convictions. i thank God for bringing a whole new perspective to my mind. truly God's thoughts and ways are higher than my own. Wednesday, April 01, 2009
1:14 AM i'm so excited! so so excited!! :D i can see breakthroughs coming man... and it's HUGE breakthroughs!!! haha... i can't stop smiling tonight:) even though i gotta do project and to study. (oh man haha!) i love Heart of God Church! ohyeah, it's April's fool today. just a reminder to self :) heh. |
