Happy Belated Birthday to XIAN HUI!!
Had a great time celebrating XianHui's birthday together with Karen, Juan Juan and Wenxiu. We went to TCC at Cineleisure yesterday night. Shared a beef thingy with Karen. The cheese and tofu was nice and the beef tasted like ba gua! But, I still don't like beef. I ordered some green apple drink and it was nice too! We shared money to buy a coffee+alcohol drink and the taste was super weird. Maybe I'm just not suitable to drink alcohol stuffs. Anyhow, I had a fun time yesterday night even though I was really exhausted and sleepy when I got home at around 12 am. =X

Hmm... Very tired and worn out now.. But mentally, I feel recharged and happy! Went to Bible House at City Hall with Karen early in the morning to meet the other Youth for Christ people. After singing and praying, we all went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to do evangelism work. I paired up with Boon Jin and we went around looking for suitable people to speak to. This is my first time doing street evangelism and I was super scared and at the same time, excited. We met 3 different group of people and their response was quite positive and optimistic. Praise God! I learnt a lot from this experience and hope I'll be more courageous as time goes by. Really enjoyed myself today and I don't regret going for the event. =)

Everything I need is You, Lord...

PS: Yes, Clara! Thanks for the information... Hees...

Just finished reading a book called "Iron Man". It is an autobiography of Pastor Neivelle Tan about his past in Changi Prison and the story of how he got to know the Lord in his darkest point of time. As I read, I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Immediately I thought about my own salvation and how God has changed my life. I got to know about Jesus in primary school but it wasn't till last year that I started going to church. Even though I went to church, I didn't really feel committed until March this year. So many things happened early this year that I couldn't catch up with my own feelings and I felt really suffocated. It was in February when I finally broke down and did something silly. Thinking back now, I was so silly and foolish. If not for the teachers in school, I may not have gotten the courage to stand up again. I am so thankful to God for changing my life. He has blessed me with a new class with great classmates and teachers. Also, I've joined a cell group in church and I'm getting along well with them. I give thanks to the Lord for being ever so faithful! He did not give up on me even when I gave up on myself!

Anyway, I'm really interested in studying Psychology in University. I can already imagine myself being a psychologist and volunteering my services in church and community centres. The more I dream about it, the more tempted I want to major in that subject. However, adults have adviced me not to take the subject since it isn't well established in Singapore yet and the prospects aren't very promising. Come to think of it, I have doubts about achieving my dream too. Who am I trying to kid? My english is not that fluent and my results may not be able to earn me a place in the facualty. But sometimes, it is harmless to dream right? Afterall, dreams give us hope for the future.

Da Vinci Code was quite a disappointment. Maybe it was good but I just couldn't understand what the content was all about. Anyway, it was a good form of entertainment. And I repeat, entertainment only.

Ok, shall end here now. It's quite a long entry today. Till then!

Been feeling very sad recently due to some reasons. Past memories and old hurts all surfaced into the back of my mind. Have to thank Ms Chew for talking to me yesterday. I feel a bit better... 2 more months before you return. I don't know how I should feel. It's been so long already and yet my heart feels pain each time I think of you. Perhaps some memories will never be forgotten no matter how long it has been. Many people walk in and out of my life but, nobody can ever replace the position you have in my heart. We might not meet again in this lifetime, but I'd like you to know that I'll pray for you everyday. It hurts but, I'll still wish you happiness when you walk down the aisle with that person...

Somewhere out there
someone's saying a prayer
that we'll find one another
in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
it helps to think we might be wishing
on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
it helps to think we're sleeping
underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
if love can see us through
then we'll be together
somewhere out there
out where dreams come true

I remember my promise to you.

Went to have dinner with the girls from my cell group on Thursday night. The plan initially was to go to Swensons but it was so crowded so we had to change to BentoBox. Saw a lot of familiar faces at Jurong Point too. Hm... After dinner, Karen and I went to buy ice-cream from the ice cream seller under her block. I bought lime ice cream and it was quite nice! hahas... Anyway, Xian Hui helped us book the advanced tickets for Da Vinci on Thursday, the first day it opens. Simply can't wait to watch it!

Have to do a presentation during GP lessons next week with Nurul and Shafiah. Our topic is on "Homosexuality". As I was doing my research on it just now, I had mixed feelings regarding that subject. As a Christian, I know that the Bible condemns homosexuality and it is a terrible sin to conduct homosexual acts. However, I know that at most times, it isn't the choice of the person to choose whether he/she wants to be a homosexual. Oh well, just my thoughts on that...

Anyway, common test is coming in around a month's time! I'm not prepared to sit for it yet. Oh gosh, there seem to be endless topics to study for. Haish... Have to start studying now in order to get the grades that I yearn for, though it seems hard for me. But, I know that with God, I can do all things! So, I'll just work hard and leave the rest to God! No more blogging for the time being now. Will be back after Common Test. =)

Gotta leave for church now... till then!

Attended someone's funeral recently. The whole atmosphere was sorrowful and really depressing. On the way home after the wake, I thought about my own funeral. When I die, I want my funeral to be serene and peaceful. I don't want people to cry or be sad because of my death. Instead, I'd like them to be happy because I've returned Home to be with the Lord. I'm safe in the protective arms of Jesus so, it's something to be joyous about! I have no idea when that day will arrive. Oh well... I hope I'll be ready to leave without any regrets when it's time for me to die.

Amazing grace!
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost,
but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers,
toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
