wheee!~
hmm, I realised i don't have a nice photo with kexin dear. it's okay, i'll upload my pretty face! haha, hope that shepherd's pie will perk you up my lovely! I can't wait for waraku next week. teehee...haha, john say i look slimmer in this photo leh, whahah, it's raw, uncensored and unedited. I guess fasting has done my body some good!anyway, vanessa asked me why i am so happy. gee, i don't know, haha, i just feel happy smiling, and i feel pretty smiling! I think i look better when i smile than when i emo sia. teehee. it's good to be happy, when you have confidence that exudes from within, it automatically makes you happier. it's more like having an identity in God that no one or words can change your mind! that's faith. (: I think losing weight also made me feel better about myself, that is, discounting the stretch marks. LOL.
teehee, i wanna get my tuition pay soon la, GSS i need moola for shopping! okay, i've got to run, tml have to wake up early for prayer meeting! tatas.

i heart dm
sorry kexin, I couldn't help but kope this picture cause this is exactly what I feel now.thanks to bosses sandy and jaslyn, nelson, lucas, adrian, nick, vincent, alan, veroy, calvin, bernard, veron, karen, maxey, kate, eunice, joy, ros, zhifang, eshan, matthew, eliz, ben for making this drama a success, especially to sandy for being strict but at the same time encouraging to me, to the girls for the great company you've been, to nick and vincent for lending me your arms as stress relief pads. thanks to simin and team for making us all gorgeous and hunky, thanks to the sound ministry for helping us to be able to relate properly to our audience, especially to richard, for being so entertaining and aiding to my balding problem by causing me much hair loss within these few days. thanks to kexin for being so encouraging to me especially when i needed you the most! I love you darling! thanks to pastor sidney for the encouragement and for being so welcoming, to wenling and yilun for the jiayous. thanks to the Most High for the anointing and capacity to contain the crowd, strength to make it through the exhaustive rehearsals. thanks also to papa for fetching me to expo early in the morning so i can save up on cab fare. haha..
whee, fathers' day production has finally ended. I think i'm going to have post-production syndrome again. wail~
oh ya, today morning while i was miking up, i heard a meow. some other ministry members heard it too so they went underneath the expo stage to catch the cat. couldn't imagine what would have happened if we hadn't realised it. probably the cat would run out during praise and worship into the congregation, or stroll across on stage when pastor kong is preaching. haha..

gee.
gee, i'm home early today, actually was planning to turn in early since call time is 730 at expo tomorrow. But I guess I wanted to jot down some things first.
Today on the way to pasir ris to meet the zone ppl for the showdown, I met this couple on the train that set me thinking. Okay, i presume they are a couple luh, since they were wearing a pair of rings and the same design of watch. The thing was that if you didn't observe them close enough, you wouldn't think that they are seeing each other. From Jurong East to Tanah Merah, they didn't say a word at all to each other. When the train was about at Paya Lebar, the guy actually went to sit down without telling the girl, so at the next stop, she went to the next cabin and sat there. Even when they alighted at tanah merah and boarded the train to changi airport, they didn't sit together despite the train being rather empty. Okay I'm not kaypoh okay, just that I like to observe people and their actions a lot, that's why. Yea, back to the couple. Actually both of them look quite young, 14-15 year olds I guess. They set me into thinking why they even bother to be in a relationship. I mean what kind of couple goes out, wears the ring, couple watch, but does not talk, does not care for each other at all? Even if they quarrelled, why wasn't the boy even bothered with humoring and pacifying his girlfriend? Is there a point in this? I mean, gosh, the girl is so young, if things don't work out, she can always let it go and wait till the right one comes when she gets older, why would she want to wear the ring on her ringman, and perhaps stay committed to this guy that she may no longer feel the love and passion for? And if one day they actually break up, lead their own separate lives, meet the man and woman of their lives, would there actually be the joy of having their husband/wife to place the wedding band on their ringman, because afterall it's not the first time they are wearing a ring of commitment there anymore. Hmm, as teenagers, sometimes we just think that people try to interfere too much into our lives, we don't want to let people in because we think that what we do is best for our lives, and we don't need others to tell us what to do. Yet many a times we forget that people can sometimes give us good advices which wouldn't lead our lives to destruction unlike what we often do. I've learned much along my life, and sometimes I wished I had been wiser as a youth. But nonetheless, there is no need for regrets, because everything is still under God's control. He knew I was to stumble there in my life, so the greatest comfort is to have my Lord and Saviour to be so faithful and understanding, that in the midst of all these, He still loves me. :) So I guess life only happens once, though we may not get it right all times, but the more important thing is that we try.
Enough of my deep train of thoughts, i have 4 and 1/2 hours more before waking up. Gosh, tml is father's day svc already. WHEW!~ I can't wait for sunday to end.
For Your glory, for Your honour.

And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He has done.
God rested, so must we. Today I met up with Kexin for lunch at Lot One, and we rejoiced in each others' opportunity to take a good rest after a long week. She began to share with me how Pastor Meng also shared with them the importance of a good rest in SOT. Come to think of it, sometimes we really make ourselves very busy, hardly having enough time to do the things we need to do, let alone those that we want to do. At the end of each day, we end up drained and exhausted, and ask God why is it that we have so many things to do.
I remember reading in the book Boundaries (I bought from attributes) that many times in life, Christians struggle through, having so much to do, continually taking on more duties and eventually burn out. Made in the image of God, we are created to take responsibility for certain tasks. Part of this responsibility is knowing what is our job and what isn't, what we should be doing and what we shouldn't. The author mentioned that any confusion of responsibility and ownership in our lives is a problem of boundaries. Hence, it is important for us as Christians to learn to say "No" and set biblical boundaries in our lives. That is when we can truly become effective in our ministry cause we do not waste time in futile pursuits, but what God has really destined us to do.
After talking to Desmond and Peixuan, I really think that I am a rather free person. Haha, I'm not sure if that is good or bad, but I do have a lot of time for myself each day of my life to reflect, and to make plans, to think and to analyse. Of course there are times when I am really busy, but most of the time I am able to make time. I guess time management is also a key. Apart from studying, I've learned to set aside time for play and for serving God, and I guess this helped me from burning out. I never want to be too busy for someone else in my life. I want to be able to be available when people need me. Maybe that explains things a little.
This first week of the 21days of prayer and fasting has been just great. I am totally in awe over the move of God in my life and the things He had spoken to me through others, and He caused me to realise that I need to slow down, and take a look at how good He has been to me in my life, ever since I have chosen Him over all the other things in my life. He had placed so many opportunities in my life to serve Him and others and I haven't took time to be realise it and be thankful to Him. The chances that I get, many people yearn to get them, and i forgot to realise how blessed I was. It's so important to look to the Blesser, and be thankful for the blessings, and not be focused on the blessings He gave. With all the word of wisdom,word of knowledge and prophesies spoken to me this entire week, I really feel that God is so so so faithful and all knowing. There is no one comparable to Him and what He has done for me in my life.
I must learn to be thankful, not regretful.
