a day out with the girls

Whee, prelims are over, and there's time for a little relaxation! Haha, was supposed to meet lovely. But I went out with the girls to sentosa. Haha, although we didn't do much, the company was good. Playing vollleyball, Pepsi Cola 123, and touch rugby. Jie and I were having fun building sandcastles as well. Haha, the sad thing is although I put a lot of suntan lotion, I DIDN'T get any darker! urgh. unlike sijia, who looked chao da. LOL.

Meeting yt tml to go shopping.

Sometimes I know I'm just a lifebuoy, but i want to be a good friend even if you guys are not.

Noisy kids

Currently mugging my day away at teck whye macdonalds, only to realise that the peacefulness of the fast food restaurant is destroyed by youths ranting at the top of their voices.

The thing is, i'm not discriminating against neighbourhood school students, but at least for this bunch of people that have been here today, have shown that they have failed the years of education. Even if mainstream education hasn't taught us not to eat and talk at the same time, at least we ought to know how to carry ourselves in public, and not act rowdy, and talk at the top of our voices as if it's our own home. I know the direct counter argument, that macdonalds is not library, you can't expect it to be quiet. Yes, this i definitely understand, but they are so loud that even blasting my ipod cannot cancel out the noise ard me. Think about the number of decibels they must contribute.

URGH...noise is DISRUPTIVE.

all things new

Whee, I'm blogging off my new Acer Aspire One. Don't ask me why I got this labtop instead of the Asus one which i had initially wanted. But anyway, this baby is a true beauty. Small, compact, light, but has almost all that I need to get by, and the best thing is really being able to be carried about with much ease.

Anyway, today's biology paper was pretty okay. I think I really like biology applications syllabus. Gonna chiong for chemistry, I don't like organic siol. urgh..

2 more to go!

friend

what is a "friend"?

Is it true that when you're a friend to others, they'll be friends to you? How come I don't seem to sense it?

Oh God, reaffirm me.
Who but you?

and of course lovely, you're impossible to find.

ever felt you were lost for words? like this picture, all the alphabets are laid out, jumbled up, but you have no idea how to arrange them.

realise

that was when I realised,

it's not just charisma, but love for God.
it's not just confidence, but faith in God.
it's not just eloquence, but flowing with God.
it's not just praying, but connecting with God.
it's not just perceptions, but hearing from God.
it's not just actions, but serving God.

I thought I'd want to talk a little about the dream that I had today. Here's the details.

I saw myself having dinner with my family in the kitchen and at the corner of my eyes, a shadow went pass. I knew it was from darkness, so I muttered a prayer under my breath that it'd go away. So i felt peace and dinner went on as per normal. And when I was about to start eating, I saw Satan, in a cape. peering into the kitchen from outside the kitchen door. He was black and his skin was dry, his eyes were big. I stood up and started binding Satan and commanding him to leave because he has no place in this house and that Jesus has already won the victory. He moaned and looked tormented. So I continued binding him and prayed in tongues so that he would leave. Then (i dono when they were all in my house) my neighbours and i believe the rest to be their church friends, stood up and prayed with me in the Spirit. So we prayed louder, and the louder and stronger we went, the more tormented he looked. He went around touching the palms of people and those whose palms he touched lost connection with the Spirit and could no longer fight against him. I kept my palms close so he could not get to me while i continued praying. Then i awoke.

If there was to be a reason behind this dream, I could only say that God wants me to stay connected. That's the only way to defeat the enemy, cause if we succumb to the devil, he can get a foothold in our lives, and we lose it, no longer able to be equipped against him. What a dream.

filled to be emptied again.

This vision is for a future time.
It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed.
