woohoo.. long long nvr blog, but wells time has been eventful.. just ended the christmas week past few weeks really busy, preparing for the christmas season, really did lots though no converts for myself,time had been fruitful i learned new things and i believe with all my heart that God is preparing me for greater works of His! Matthew 19:26 i want to do the impossible with God!
want to share about our campus outreach,even though my group(me and sengkim) weren't very fruitful, i believe we persevered and trusted God with it. the first day i was really really tired and people weren't receptive so when we know that it will be the last group we share to, we prayed and i gave myself a last push, whether they are receptive is up to God. after sharing again, the people were not very receptive. at first was not upset about it cos i know only God can complete this work, not me but SK told me that there was a part i had not expressed myself properly and made unfriendly statement.really did not realise it and i was greatly discouraged cos it was really a last push of my physical self and yet i ruined it to a certain extent. then i went back with a drained spirit and body. however ,thank God i opened this problem up to jeekai, my brother and also other believers and they reminded me to trust in God, He has a plan for the non-believers too and whatever i done has an impact but the most important is still God and God is perfect His ways are always perfect!
the event made me realise i ain't commiting the evangelistic work enough to God, i'm still relying on my own strength sometimes, i tend to rush things done and forgot to take a step back and listen to God.
i really hope that God will continue to reveal Himself in my life and allow me to follow closely in His steps i really don't want to fall away. i'll be walking into destruction if i do so.
belated merry CHRISTmas, every1!!

testimony!
today went to meet professor regarding the change programme issue. decided to meet him cos i still ain't too sure about the decision so wanted to seek his advice and also remember preciously i consulted him he told me i can look for him again after the exams and he can help in the procedure of switching course. However, the meeting itself wasn't very good. i could not see his concern in the matter anymore, he simply told me that i should do something that i will enjoy. Basically the consultation was quite unfruitful. after that i just asked some random question related to change course matters den just end off. did not really help in my decision and i was pretty disappointed. but i did felt as i was consulting the prof this promting that i will change course. i have no reason for making this decision at all. actually i was quite unfaithful to this prompting and it just did not come to me that that may be God's prompting. but really really thank God that i met yenling when i went to take 179 to go boonlay and change a bus to get home.then she asked me why i'm in school so i shared to her about my issue. den she encouraged me to pray consistently and patiently knowing God is working in a way that we as human cannot understand (fully). and she shared about her own testimony during her final exams when she got hospitalised and God healing her almost immediately after she realise what God wants to do in her. at that point i prayed for myself to also consistently pray to Him even though i'm already very sian about praying and not hearing Him giving an answer.
and immediately after i get home i just know i'm going to submit the change course application and when i type the reason, everything just came clearly ,my difficulties in physics and my interests in the SCI programme. previously every time i think of my reason to change course ,i end up being in a dilemma on whether to change course or not but this time it was clearly i 'm sure i want the change. so i really thank God for Him intervening in the matter and He really used this to test my faith and patient in believing He is control and He had greater plans for me that i do not fully understand.

EVANGELISE!!
just really inspired by the teaching just now by timothy on evangelism. The teaching was basically some tips on sharing the gospel and reminding of God's calling for ALL christians to evangelise and share the good news. his teaching was really personal and very sincere,which is something needed in a sharing of the gospel to a pre-believer.
Just to share about my christmas season objectives firstly to re-ignite my passion in wanting to disciple God's people. Second to be a channel of love and blessing to brother&sisters as well as non-believers. Third to dedicate all that i have to be use by God for the advancement of His Kingdom.
wells today while worshipping i just felt God speaking closely to me to be a discipler of His flock, He reminded me that He has call every1 to disciple others ,do not need to await His calling before i disciple people.but we do need to grow in understanding ourselves so that we may be sure that we are leading people towards Christ rather than away from Him. and very glad that i'm carrying out my third objective. my caregroup wants to hold a Christmas party so that we may use the event to know each other's sowees and help them cross the line of faith. den we need a venue and preferably some1's house and just nice daddy mummy going m'sia 21to 27 so we can hold the party in my house! and ytd sengkim sorta forced me to invite yeesam to my house to cook something haha den use my house again and my skills in cooking?! yups thk God!

exams OVER OVER OVER!!woohoo~!
though blog one day late but i'm still as high !!haha great manz!! relieve feeling and just so glad that i walked so closely with God during this period.
ytd's physics paper was pretty easy compared to the past year papers so is not as difficult as expected. so am quite confident of passing but will be quite curious about my grade since i S/U it. haha
anw dunno my GPA how la..need it to help me change lei.. yupps confirmed on changing course alr. however ,the online application not open lei, emailed person in charge ,so waiting for reply.. will be putting communication studies as first choice and second choice sociology.
haiz there's still this fear that i'll struggle alot in the new course and dunno wad will happen.so i really still wana seek God in this, just as during the exams ,i want Him to be close to me.
just came back from running at the src. haha ran alone, so kinda did some reflecting in the shower!!haha, den i realised something to thank God about!!Praise Him, for He is good all the time,even when we do not notice, He is GOOD!!yeaps. i just remembered that many other people will discuss papers with their friends before and after the exam and then they get so worried about their revision or cos they realise there are so many mistakes ,so i actually wana thank God that i do not know much people in the physics cohort such that they will come and stress me, moreover there are so many scholars they sure study very hard and do very well den i will realise how weak i am in the subject and start panic and lose focus in God. cos all the while i felt quite bad that i do not know the physics people cos God's will for us is to spread the gospel to all and not be selective in the people we share,and if i do not initiate a friendship with them i wouldn't be able to share the goodness of God or make my life a life testimony of God's love and strength. Yet,God refreshes me and served my need, He knew how i would have felt and protected me. However let this be a gentle reminder to myself to always trust in the Lord, even in such situation i shall still not waver.yes Lord continue to hold on to me, cos i am weak, i might lose the grip.
thank you GOD =)

Praise the Lord!its another 2 papers completed!!lol really wana take time to appreciate God's presence in this period of time. Thank Him for bringing me thru!! yays! i'm just so refreshed by today's service.
1) God reminded me that when i seek Him ask for more of Him and not more of the blessings. having the right focus is more important than anything remember our purpose here on earth to serve the Lord and His people let all see the light and stop walking in darkness.
2) and the sermon reminded me of how God is always there.. regardless when i'm facing small little trouble or big problems that seem unsolveable He'll be there and His strength is avalable for us to tap into as long as we extend our arms towards Him. He'll will be awaiting to give us that touch from heaven and lift us above all problems. for we are His people the chosen ones that he'll bless and not destroy.
3) wana remember how God always moves when we even when we face small problems he'll be there to save us and i experienced this immediately on the bus trip immediately after service. cos i had stomachache and at first the bus had no seats for me so i chose a nice corner to sit. i closed my eyes and feel if the pain was necessary for me to sit if so i'd pray to God for a seat. den i think i need it so i told God and immediately the next bus stop 6 people alighted and there were 3 pairs of empty seats one pair is the inverted ones which i always get motion sickness when i sit.as i was walking towards the seat, a couple went before me so i 'aimed' for the seat behind them but then a man that just board the bus 'snatched' the seats from the couple den the couple had to turn back and sit at my seat however i was already sitting down so the couple went over to sit the inverted seats. thk God for the seat and really thank God i sat down before the couple came over otherwise i'd need to sit the inverted seats and i'm not sure what might happen.
and also want to thank God for his healing. had a bad stomachache on tuesday was really serious cos i can't even stand straight and had the exact same condition just not and on tuesday yanyu and corinna prayed for me then today the CG prayed for me and i was miraculously healed during both days! Praise God, the almighty Lord!!
okies Praise the LORD!! just wana end by these encouraging verses:
2 Corinthians 4:7-12 "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus's sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you."

yeaps its the start of the second week of exams!! yea really busy preparing for the exams, but in this uni group, u can never study without God!! and it has been so cool even though is really new to me. back in SA we did have a few gather-and-pray sessions before the exams but surely not this much cos most of us are taking the same papers and pray for ourselves and others together. now its so different brothers and sisters follow u all the way (some who dun stay hall ,like me, come down specially to pray for u!) to commit your papers to the Lord's hands. and that is so wonderful. was blessed by simply the physical presence of the people to pray for me,especially during my MAS181 paper last thursday. i don't know why i forgot so many things before going for the exams. was walking halfway there and was already kind of late den realise forgot to bring my jacket(ie left in sbs classroom) and would be late if i go back for it. so sengkim quickly said he run back and get and left almost immediately and later delivered it to me. that was not all, during the prayer itself before going into the exam i realised i forgot to check for my seat number and that being one of my first papers i didn't know can check inside. in my heart i really wanted to be panicky already but there was a voice assuring me there are people around me to help and i continued praying until the prayer ended. den i calmly told the people around i don't know my seat number and they started to think of ways to help me den started to call people who are still in the classroom but initially no one picked their phone den david said he run back and off he went. i was really blessed by how spontaneous these brothers and sisters are willing to help even if it means inconvenience and tiring them physically. after that tracy picked up the phone i managed to get her to get my notebook and read to me the seat number.THANK GOD! woohoo and i wasn't late for the exam!yay!yups so now i really really appreciate those who come down to pray for me and i hope to be one such person who could make a difference to a brother or sisters' exams ;)
Praise the Lord!!
another lovely verse:
Praise the Lord!!
another lovely verse:
Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear, for i am with you; do not be afriad, for i am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

well, long time didn't blog .had been busy studying had a tough week, stayed in school late almost everyday to study for my quiz last week. nonetheless, God has been doing his work in me..really thank God that during this period i still felt the urge to outreach. all i see is the opportunity i have to glorify God with my life instead of just the little time i have left to study for my exams.
and last sat the uni group and yg group had a healing workshop and ps. Peter Truong came!!WOO! yups he was the pastor who led the healing rally during the thai camp. that was a really miraculous sight where many many were heal and it was really a memorable day for me cos it was kind of my first witness of God's power so tangibly. and during the altar's call, xingni prophesied for me. i responded to altar call for God to intervene in my studies particularly regarding decision to change course. and prophesied for God to grant me more knowledge and understanding. and for me to have a still heart because alot of things happen to us ,we do not know why and we may feel that we are suffering but we trust in God that he has the best plan and is in control.that spoke to me cos of the situation i'm in;it is so easy for me to question why God place me in this physics course when i found so clearly i cannot do well and if he had the plan for me to change course,y has he allowed me to waste a semester or even a year?but i really want to follow God as i go thru my tertiary education.after all my life is anchored by God, it does not mean to me anything if i do well academically and lose God.
thank God for refreshing me and assuring ur presence amidst the though time. yes,God ur servant is here awaiting to follow where u are leading me =)

God is amazing :) he answered my doubt !!yeaps i had shepherding on friday and i told my shepherd that i was perplexed when i read the verse in Duet. 7 which talks about driving out the nations. i could not understand why God did not show mercy on these people, instead of trying to get them back to obey Him, He wanted to completely destroy them. shepherd told me that she ain't very sure too but trust that our God is knows what He is doing ;He knows what is the best .alot of times we may not understand fully God's ways but have faith and always trust in Him because we know we can accomplish nothing without Him so let Him be our hope.
Then just ytd while doing QT i come across these verses Deut. 19:19-20 and Deut.20:17-18 these verses spoke to me that God wants to make use of these people to warn us against evil so that we may not be influenced and conform to their wicked ways and fall away from God.
To me, God really spoke very specifically to my doubts and i am deeply touched by the God's love for me in wanting me to know and understand His ways so that i may align my ways according to His.
Thank God for being God !!

oh no oh no very long never blog le..haha ehh last week had quite alot of happenings.. the mid-term i got it back ytd got 30 i thought its quite bad but its higher than average of 26.?? yups so thk God but my computing only got 6.5 haiz dunno where gone wrong i thought i know how to do den kor get full mark la !siao one!lols but still thk God i passed :) hehe
den thur went for the blood donation i was so anxious when the person checke for my vein and she checked my left arm first and say cannot alr den when checkeing right arm i saw a vein protuding out !!but the person was looking at another vein for very long so i pointed the vein and say this one can?? den the person see den say yes, YES! 过关了!!haha but after that went for blood test den kena rejected cos iron level too low =.= sians so cannot donate again lo..
den thur had my horrendous physics tutorial when i dun understand a single thing the tutor was doing and my answer made sense to me but they are all wrong T.T and that was when i really really got very serious about changing course. its not the first time but it was then that i really dun see how i this course will work for me .i am studying hard already and to the extent that i only sleep at 2am almost everyday and that is really taxing for me, i really need to sleep furthermore,i dun see how carrying on doing this will help if i study so much and cannot still cannot grasp my concepts i think there is no point staying in this course when i do not have interest in it.. currently considering changing course to comm studies. to me it is a course which is much more dynamic compared to science it will be doing about people's perspectives ,opinions and has a wide range of exciting career prospectives.. had a chat with cassie about the course on mon and found out more about what they actually do in the course. what i really wana do now is to calm down, be sensitive to seek what God wants me to do and continue working hard whichever course i'm in. yups already emailed staff to find out more about changing course but the person replied me that i can only apply for change after completing my sem1 exams. just nice for me to really slow down and sort out everything before making the crucial decision. :) really thru this wana thk God that me heart remain so peaceful even though i'm in quite a dilemma ..and i hope that i'll still be able to bring joy to the people around me and not let my own problems hinder my service to God and His people.:)
ehh ytd had unit meet but it was an 'unusual' one cos some of them went to cook green bean soup and the unit meet was actually for us to bring the green bean soup to our friends hall and to show love to our non-believer friends. cos we really wana be the light that shines and showers love towards our friends towards this stressfull time as the exams are approaching. matthew 5:14-16i paired up with sihui and we visited yee sam (and shiyong) and hwee min and her roomie, audrey :) at first i thought it was like pure evangelising but den on the way talked to sihui and she say actually is just to visit them and talk to them ;making a gesture of love to touch them witht the love we received from our heavenly Father. wells it was really surprising to me that they came up with such an idea ..i would think that its a really crazy thing to do if it is not for God, but because it is for God i am willing to do anything that is out of the world..just think of what God had done for us, sending His one and only Son to be crucified and die on the cross for our sins..who in the right mind would ever do that, but God willingly did this for each one of us ..our gesture compared to this is really nothing. i'm sure people see what i;m doing as a sacrifice but what is this sacrifice compared to the sacrifice from God? really want to take this time to appreciate God 's love :))
was doing QT and realised i have so many verses i really like dunno which to choose first as memory verse. lol but think this stands out cos its from OT yet it spoke alot to me( cos OT i find it more difficult to understand OT right now, need to look INTO the words rather than just reading it.)wells maybe i should make all those useful verses into a list and it be really easy for me to get a word from God whenever i need them :)
here goes
it shall be another day that i will delight in the presence of God =)

When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you , then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed them by oath.

stressful..haiz uni is really a struggle..this week is gonna be really hectic!!haven't do any tutorial yet!! and tue got calculus midterm thur donate blood friday corporate prayer meet sat got make up lesson word for life and sunday got water bapt...quite worrieed that i can't complete my tutorial esp physics!! but still thank God for being with me for the past week and bringing me thru the struggles :) i need Ur strength O God!! thk God my tuition are no more until my exams end..shld have more time to study...have a feeling that God's plan for me is not to excel in my studies :( but but it will still be the best way for me to go ?cos i really dun believe a God who so loved us that he sacrificed His one and only son to die for us on the cross would not want me to lead a fruitful life that glorifies Him.
sometimes i just feel like letting everything go by ignoring every single thing that is happening around me, people events things deadlines advice .... ignore every single one of them and just stone i my own life. but the Lord reminded me of His sacrifice for us and who He is and what He is able to do. He is our creator and the almighty God who can create a way where there's no way ;He is the one who sent us here and have a unique purpose for each one of us .How can i not be moved and buck up and live up to God's standard?
God i want to do something for U! and i pray this to happen and to come to pass, call upon me O Lord give me a mission! in Jesus's name,amen :)
didn't update the week's memory verse was :

Psalm1:1-3 "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of the sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But he delights in the law of Lord and on His law meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does propers."

heyas!!the new week is gonna start.. oh no starting to feel the exams are really coming but wells guess its the best time to start focusing on God especially by relying in Him on studies..now i think wad happened during cg was really impt cos if not for that i wouldn't really start thinking so much about the helpless-ness and frustration as i struggled to finish my tutorial and might go on falling away from God..at least now i know where i went wrong and is beginning to change for the better and during the even more difficult period i'm ready for the challenge. God is amazing,amen? AMEN!! haha and ytd sermon was about prioritising God first also so its really a timely reminder and encouragement from God.
yups ytd was my first usher duty in tertiary!! wells its not much of a change from youth..i thought everything ran smoothly..but really there was an extra sense of joy as i come back to serve in a similar way after stopping for such a long while..guess its cos doing something i'm familiar with and knowing that God is pleased by what i'm doing. :D and also very encouraged by those really first time usher. they displayed commendable initiative and spirit of excellence despite being really unfamiliar with the duties. and to seniors were good mentors too. kept asking us whether everything us okay whenever appropriate. make sure we are not blur blur and knows what is going on. yup =) happy happy to serve =P
den also now reading old testament alot alot of laws and regulations and can't really understand why there are so many of them but from them learnt about how particular we must try to be pure so that we can meet God. then i read this verse in levicitus that says we must not eat fats and blood and i was like how can that be possible. no meat can be pure w/o blood and fats! so asked kor about it. den he said that OT cannot be interpreted and applied the same way as NT, need to read more and find out the correct way to apply but just remember the most important is the principle behind these laws and not just physical submit to the laws. learnt alot from this. realise that is why many things there is no particular right and wrong its about why and our heart attitude towards it.. moreover,kor said if we are not yet sinless why do we bother ourselves with such regulations that help us meet God when there is an unbreakable barrier(sin) between us and God.we should know that trying to grow to be sinless is the priority and God desires us to be sinless.. Then he also say the many many laws also convey that it is almost impossible for any1 to be sinless,there are so many laws and we may even break them w/o knowing it .therefore God 's grace is really wad we need and thats why Jesus came !!
really refreshed by all these knowledge,guess i was kind of in the state of not understanding God's intention alr when this conversation with my bro was just in time..yups its another amazing plan from God =)

wells, ytd cg was quite an eventful one..cos sihui was teaching about putting God first despite our busy-ness and the skills we can practice to prioritise the only eternal thing. and the first point was to slow down our pace. and i was thinking...how to slow down??there are due dates to meet,there's really no room for slowing down..so i pointed that out. den there were some discussion within the cg..jeekai talked about looking at the bigger perspective ,try to see God's perspective, not out own and sengkim reminded me to ask myself the purpose of me working hard (is it for myself or is it for God ??)i really don't know. sometimes i dun see God or feel God when i'm really studying. sometimes i really don't know why am i studying..i JUST STUDY!! i just wana finish my tutorial....truth is when i do physics, my whole mind is that SINGLE question and if i don't do that i can't solve a single thing..yes i can take a break when i know i get really stressed up but once i refresh myself, i must get but to the my-world-is-this-question state. God,is this healthy?? but if this is not what i shld do why am i here in ntu as a student, when i cannot study? am i always too focus on the things on hand i dun see any purpose in the big perspective?? and sometimes i really don't know whether i choose to study is the right thing to do..because i study but not fruitful,still cannot do tutorial den wads the point?? wouldn't it be better off if i had use that time to outreach or help some people in need or just sit down and listen to Ur word?
today, i pray to my Lord to grant me wisdom, grant me knowledge help me to see the bigger picture, lead me in the best plan U have prepared for me. i may be struggling now but remind me of Ur presence wherever i go. help me to be humble, grow me in the difficult time...still God has revealed to me the very true problem i have, may not seem very big at the moment but it sure can grow to be destructive..so i thank God for this blessings, in Jesus' name AMEN! :D

With the presence of God, Each day is never hectic :D
James 1:6-8 "But he asks must not doubt, because he who doubts is like a waves of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. "

today 's sermon was about miracles!thank God for this sermon in such good timing when i've just received the blessing of a miracle from God. it spoke closely to me that miracles can happen anytime in our lives and we may not realise it. it is really so ironic, sometimes we pray so hard for a miracle to happen in our life yet when a miracle happens we don't see it. this often happen because we don't pray specific enough for this miracle and when a good thing happens we don't relate it to God. it also may be that we totally forgot about what we have prayed for.therefore, we really need to pray to God specifically in which area of our life and wait faithfully in expectation for God's amazing deliverance.
Even so, sometimes we don't identify miracles because, of the many miracles that we hear happening around us. when we know that so many miracles can happen, we tend to not see as much value in the miracles, we'l think of it as normal happenings. and forgot to thank God for the blessing. However whether God's deliverance is a miracle really depends on owns perspective. God can do everything:make the blind see, make the lame walk but u can insist its a natural happening.thus we need to humble ourselves, recognise that our strength is limited, without God's strength we cannot do anything.
also i learned that each miracle from God is actually to prepare us for greater miracles that will happen in our lives in future. and these miracles happen in out lives so that we can use them to share the gospel about how amazing our God is and impact others' lives. so i really believe God is gonna pour in lots and lots more miracles into my life that i can use to bring about salvation of more people.
today really wan2 pray for miracle on my evangelistic work. pray for God to soften the hearts of the three pre-believers i've been working on and show then how true u are in their lives so that they may receive ur divine salvation =)
thank you Lord for speaking to me so closely tonight and thank u for the many blessings and miracles that u are about to pour into our lives :D

lol. ytd wad fun!! PERU visit the tree top walk in MacRitchie!! lol. as usual, i was really scared so i kept walking and didn't stop to enjoy the scenery cos whenever i start looking around, my legs will start to shake =.=' den cos i was walking in front, when i walk fast, people behind follow suite!haha den at the end michelle and huiying say this kind of place should walk slowly, and look at the beauty of nature in a different angle.. haha if u aren't scared of heights u can do it. i'd really love to but when i'm up there, no thanks =( after that we proceeded to jelutong tower and celebrated huiying's birthday in advance, her actual birthday is 1st october;children's day! so cute!! so we were the first to celebrate for her!muahaha!lol really hope she enjoyed it :)) cos really need to bring her step by step towards God; enfold her with the love of God ..den yichen also ..hope that the outing will let him see that the end of acts calibre is not the end of peru and see the difference in this group compared to the past other camps he had attended.
lol den after that went for unit meet at jon chen's house which is at keat hong!!haha so near my house.. its like the first time i have church activity so near my home sweet home =) thk God for that. of cos the feeling is good but still if its far ,it'll still be worthwhile to attend.
sihui told us to fast before the unit meet and think about personal prayer to ask from GOod during the fast. those i made were :growth in perseverence, mercy and forgiveness and courage..
soo thk God that He blessed me again, i was granted courage to share my testimony on the miracle on my C++ assisgnment. was really quite nervous before i volunteered but thk God i still did!! cos it always feel good to share of God's amazing works!AMEN!! ^^ heehee den after i volunteered, i said to myself: hey God blessed me with courage today, because i prayed for it! =) my recess week has been really wonderful, my eyes are opened to the things that God can do to my life and thru my life. and this i really think is wad makes a life purposeful. so i pray that each day i will dwell in the presence of God ;never will i shut my eyes, never will i shut my ears from His words and His callings for i know that each thing i do together with God will be fruitful.
afte that,teaching was about productive christian life. that we firstly need to grow strong roots, get rid of weeds, undergo pruning den finally wait for harvest. translates to foundation :knowledge, understanding and application of God's word. den rid of the unwanted: identify areas in life that hinders us/ draws us apart from God den lift them up to God, ask Him for help to overcome. after that grow through tests grow stronger to become even more fruitful.
today, yongsheng and daniel flying off to london for the tertiary education in cambridge. so pray for them a safe journey, grant them peace of mind and assure them ur presence and remind them that a reliance on U will make them the strongest man any mortal can be.them to continue shining the light from U and touch the lives of others. =) amen!

today was a rather fruitful day too!manage to complete my physics lab report :) which has really been a killer subject to me every week!
today supposed to meet sengkim and his project mate peishan to run in the morning. so put alarm 6.15am den wake up, wanted to lai chuang 5min so slept on my fores thinking that this position will only allow me to sleep 5min but the next time i woke up was 7.05!!oh no i'm gonna be late! haha so rushed out of bed.first thing pray as i brush my teeth lol thank God for the 45 min extra sleep but allow me to still be on time. fruitful time ahead with sengkim and his friend, even if we can't be running(cos it was raining). left house around 8am.
den cos rain was pretty heavy, run was cancelled and instead meeting at cant a for breakfast. reached there first so put down bag and go toilet. den sengkim called, so i ran out of toilet and .........sloooop.......i slipped and fell flat on the floor!OUCH! fortunately no injury except for bruise on my elbow and butt (thank God for my fleshy butt!lol)
after having breakfast when to study at lee wee nam library. started on my lab report, which i had no ambition to complete!!haha but i did in the end, so really thank God for 3 fruitful days since the beginning of recess week :) when was halfway thru i found that our experiment was done wrongly thus our result seem so far off and i didn't know what i could do. Since there was nothing else i could do ,i used results that are not measured by myself. then after that finished my report at around 7.30pm. so we all went home after that cos they decided they are not able to complete their work today lol.
found out that their work is really quite tough and draining too. and their deadline is friday 5pm. and they can't finish it. quite worried for sengkim cos tmr whole day is filled by peru outing and unit meet then friday might be too late alr and he's still ill, not fully recovered from his flu. and first time i saw him so serious about work. he actually discussed the question while eating lunch and even brought out the qn paper.was quite surprised .and all the more make me worry to what extend will he stretch himself to complete his work.. thus i really wan2 pray for him. Commit his time into God's hands to make it fruitful and for God to grant peace and knowledge to him that he may focus in the work and not get frustrated or drained by the large workload.
continue to pray for cheong seng, a brother who has left church, yanyu just told me she's got connected with him and trying to know his reasons for leaving and getting him connected with the rest of us and such that he'l come back to God. i pray for cheong seng that God may reveal to him the importance of fellowship ;the support we get from one another ;the power of praying in groups ;the encouragement we always get from one another's simple actions that make great impact. remind him of the times he had had with fellow believers let him see the value in these past gatherings which drew him closer to God and the people around him. Protect him and not let him be drawn to the seemingly attractive things of the world that do not last. let him be the source of influence to his friends; he not just want to be with his friends in this lifetime on Earth but to be with them eternally in heaven.
i also wan2 pray for my spiritual buddy yanyu, thank God for her heart in having a burden for cheong seng and wanting to bring him back to U, Lord. assure her ur presence, give to her wisdom and knowledge that she'll be able to know his needs and give proper advice to him that will be relevant and speaks Ur word O Lord.
Finally for tmr peru outing, pray for fruitful time of interaction,opportunities to share of ur love and grace. bless us with good weather and safe journey.
thank God in advance for blessings to come.=)all these in Jesus' name.AMEN :D

memory verse for the week
actually wanted to find the verse when doing my QT later but went to read uncle ah-foo's blog and saw this verse that i fell in love with :)) so it shall be my mem verse for the week
guess its really something many people need: an assurance during a time of suffering.. sometimes we're not even suffering and we really feel like giving up. but God's promise is that the more we go thru the more we'll gain.. wan2 meditate on this verse and hopefully God will drop me more insights so that i may know Him more and flow with His heartbeat.
Roman 5:3-4 "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

a miracle!!
today i woke up the morning to be in God's most wonderful presence!! i knew it'll be another brand new day walking closely with God and i thanked God in advance for it..
had intended to complete my physics lab report today but i could not assess matlab from home so cannot plot my graph for the results. thus decided to study in school tmr and do my lab report there.
yup but i didn't slack after that cos i remembered faith comes hand in hand with action, so though i prayed really hard God to bless me on the things that need to be done, i need to put in my utmost effort. so i perseveringly moved on to start on my programming assignment.. though it wasn't like first try got it but i still got it after like 10 tries later!! which is really so amazing :D cos usually i do programming problems try like five times cannot means i really don't know what else i can do.. this incident really showcase to me what i've been working on lately: to let my faith and actions come hand in hand. i had to persevere on attempting another method and trust that God will grant me peace of mind if it fails to work out again and grant me the knowledge of what other methods there may be. really thank God for this miracle, i completed a major task i had for my recess week!! i'm really relieved by the fact i complete that assignmentso i really think God has worked through this and God is always so amazing!!
yup so once again i pray for tmr. for there to be smooth connection to the remote server for the matlab so that i can do my lab report for me to continue to have a peace of mind and not get frustrated by my work and i still wana make use of the chance to minister to the other brothers and sisters, getting to know them more and understand their needs (studying is the time that people will usually share about their difficulties!!). pray that we'll have a safe exercise session and brothers and sisters to be refreshed by the workout .thank GOD in advance for all these blessings :) AMEN!!

back to ushering!
haha today received email from some1 called joella who's in the tertiary usher ministry and informed me that from october onwards,i'd b an usher in tertiary service.. yups thank God for giving me this opportunity to serve .i pray that i'd always have the spirit of excellence as i serve in a similar way but different environment, grant me a humble heart willing to learn and accept new things. i have a feeling that because its something i'd done before,so i'd more or less show that i know how the usher duty goes about but let this not appear to others as arrogance and i really foresee new things that i'll learn in this ministry. also pray that i'd be able to blend well with the people in the group, cause i had really see value in the support i got from people in my ushering team previously.
today also had a farewell dinner for yong sheng. he's leaving to study in cambridge (which is like woOAHH!)coming friday. so went sengkim's dad's coffeeshop!haha had quite a lot if fun there.
though didn't really get to know YS well but always see that he's around during service, sub-d gathering and whenever/wherever his caregroup is although he doesn't study in ntu like the rest of them do. i see a sincere heart he has for people and always wanting to do something good for the people around. really thank God for putting this brother into our midst :) now that he has to leave, i'm sure its because God had plans for him to continue touching lives and making positive impact in a new environment !and i'm just so happy to know that !though saddening that some1 has to leave,it is heartwarming to know that he is taking a step towards such great growth :D
also get to meet up with kat there and pass her the long overdue card and cross-stitch!!haha the cross-stitch was started like during june but i made a 'fatal' mistake and had to redo so finished at around late july which was when school was about to start and had loads to do(cos i was really last min haha!) so didn't have time to think how to present it to her den school start also stressed and never do anything about it only now recess week den tidy table found it den make card to give her.haha still i believe its the heart that counts :)
kk i pray for God to bless me in my sleep, recharge my energy, refresh me for the coming brand new day, prepare me for my hard work during the day that i may use to glorify ur name. commit the night and the upcoming day and whole new week into ur mighty hands :D in Jesus name.AMEN! nitenitex :)

"More than Work" (Colossians 3:23-24)
heex.. today ps Jeff preached!! haha really thank God for speaking to me so closely and just-at-the-right-time during service just now.titled 'More than Work' from passage Colossian 3:23-24. two teaching points, must do my best at work and must know that Jesus Christ is our ultimate boss :D
spoke to me that we must always remember that we are God's child even when doing our work or studies. therefore we must do our best in our work/studies to: 1.Lead consistent life 2.Glorify God with our achievements 3.Be salt and light ;be someone with a great influence on others and
Jesus is our ultimate boss.God created us to be in this world to put us to test, to know how much each of us can be entrusted to the rewards in heaven. and God promise to us is an eternal life in heaven where will rule and reign together with Jesus. and in Luke 16:10-12 it says if man is not trustworthy with little things (things of the world), he cannot be trusted with more (things of the world).
Pray that i'l always remember that my work/studies is the perfect channel i can use to glorify God therefore i need to work hard on it and i'd really fulfill the responsibility God has given me to be good students, excel in it so that we can use it to glorify our Father in heaven :D Amen :)

given an eternal purpose :))
heyheys!
though so long never blog i still come back!!!haha okay yaya i'm guilty but today i 'm so determined i wana blog cos i wan to use this blog to make me accountable of my spiritual growth. mainly becos of this week's caregroup which was to set personal goals on areas to grow in order to achieve our cg vision of building a strong foundation in God's word so as to equip ourselves to be salt and light amongst people within our sphere of influence.
and i responded quite alot.
upward (how to establish intimate relationship w God):
Establish relationship with God to the extent that I feel His close presence despite being pre-occupied with my daily routine. (ie. Do tutorial tgr w/ God; brush teeth with God :D etc)
Prayer: -not just pray when I need to / when there is nothing else I can do , but pray and commit all things to God so that I can complete each task using God’s strength and not my own.
-set aside time to pray for others (15 min each day to pray for at least 2 person (believers and SOWees =)
Stretch my ability to serve by extend reliance on God, because serve more => do more => less time to seek God quietly. Need a balance, how to do so? Not sure yet but probably reading books?
Inward (my attitude):
Faith: Recognizing faith and action come tgr. Pray and ask God for strength but still do whatever I can and God will add to it, instead of thinking that I pray and not do anything and expect God to do everything.
Peace of mind: tap into this promise from God which is to grant us peace. Memorise and meditate verses John 14:27 & Matthew 6:34
Knowledge: memorise bible verses (at least a verse each week =))
Outward:
Outreach: Tiffany – coursemate, spend a lot of time w/ her individually. Perfect opportunity given by God to outreach
Yee Sam – OG mate knows she is insecure about her friendship and is looking out for friends that will always rmb her and walk tgr with her
Shi Yong – in religion called 天道 believes Jesus Christ but takes teaching from others religion too. Potential believer that will need someone to reveal to her that there is only this one God that will bring her eternal life in heaven.
Not be afraid to outwardly express my reliance on God; let others see the presence of God through me so that they may be blessed by His provision in me.
Be a source of encouragement: affirm people, not just by sms and cards but do it face-to-face or even better in a group . Because from book Be All You Can Be it says that it will have a greater significance on the person in this manner.
Not to be selective in people I establish closer relationship with. God loves them equally regardless believer /non-believer
Tap and stretch my spiritual gifting of hospitality. This gift to be exercised not based on emotions. Let God be my only source of joy and comfort so that I can always be joyful and hospitable. Stretch this gift to bless non-believers. Use it to draw people to myself so that I can share the gospel to them and do my part to fulfill the Great Commission.
Yup so from this week onwards, i will post my week's memory verse HERE :D
This week's memory verse:
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seeks Him.
Yup its from this week's shepherding.
This week' s shepherding was on tuesday and we studied the passage Hebrews 11:1-10 which is on faith. Sumary of learning points are:
1. What is faith?: Faith is being sure of what we hope for, trusting God & His character (involves trusting even when we do not see the answers)
2. Why do we need to have faith?: Faith pleases God & help us grow in relationship w Him.
3. Application: Faith & action, faith in trials, faith in being healed, faith in approaching God.
Today had bible study with sengkim at the palette. passage was on Daniel 1 & 2. Learning points:
1. Daniel was loyal and obedient to God despite being in a foreign country where His God aren't praised. and, he stood firm in God's command to not eat food assigned by the king, even though he knew that it would created a lot of trouble.
Show also Daniel's reliance on God.
God showed favour of his obedience by blessing him with knowledge and understanding. These were clearly what they needed most in their current situation =>God provides accordingly
2. Even though Daniel did not hold high position among the king's wise men, he was respected. because even when the commander of guard (high position) wanted to put him to execution, he still had chance to ask. Daniel must have led a righteous and respectable life, which made him an influential character.
3. When Daniel spoke to the king, he kept pointing towards God. Doing things for God and fulfilling tasks with God's strength. =>bring glory to God
4. See importance in fellowship => looked for other 3 to pray tgr instead of praying alone.
After telling and interpreting king's dream, he was given high position and he requested for other 3 to be administrators because he saw the value in them and knew that he needed to carry out his work.
After that went on to talk about caregroup. He reminded me that the best way to serve my leader(specifically CL) is to give valuable feedback to her so that caregroup would be better suited to each one's need. it was really something that i've never thought about doing. Previously in youth i only participated in CG evaluation cos my CL asked me to. i shld have understood the importance of CG evaluation. yup, so something i wan2 see myself improve in.
like reason of being laid back: will my feedback even make a difference?
rebuttal: there won't even be an opportunity that a change will happen if i remain silent!!
haha. yups so just do it ba!
only things to consider: is it biblical? is it more beneficial?
if yes for both, just do it! jia you k =)
hmm, yup that's about it. recess week is here!!lol but can't enjoy holiday cos i'm lagging in uni, need this 1 wk break to catch up. btw tmr meeting eunice! to catch up,she was telling me about some of her worries in her family. God please bless my friend =) hope to hear good news tmr!

finally we waited from 4.45 to 7.30pm...den the car came and brought us to the shophouse..
the initial plan was to go to my aunt's place first den the shophouse but cos the shophouse is nearer to the bus breakdown site so daddy decided to change plan...
arrived at the place at 8plus bath and went out to eat zi char :) at the 海南会馆.
next day!!

scary backyard!!

all withered weeds...u people must be thinking am i able to stayin such a place??i'm not that city girl after all ,k
guess wads this!!u've never tasted this before..

its wild boar meat curry!!
yup its the kind of wild boar that has big fangs!! and i'm daring enough to eat it! haha truth is i wouldn't dare eat it if i hadn'd been eating it since i was young! anyway it tasted like mutton....
and eyy truth is the pig that we get prok from is actually the 'downgrade' evolution of wild boar's, the wild boars were captivated by humans and rears them as livestock so they lose the need for the fangs and breed their next generation into those without fangs and bigger in size...

we tried roti canai before and it was really good too!different from the ones in singapore...



the nasi lemak was good too ,its nothing like the nasi lemak u know...cos its just coconut rice with fish cooked in chilli...but the chilli really shiok...i'd prefer that nasi lemak to ours..

last day in malaysia!!so aunt had to serve us like vip!!bought breakfast for us while we were still sleeping!!lol


donuts

nasi lagung!!

nasi lemak

met this cute baby girl at the bus stop while waiting for our coach home...

she came to mummy on own accord!!haha CUTE!
waited damn long for the bus...timing was 10am the bus arrived at 10.40!!

ate burger again!!haha



and lolli again!!!


endless oil palm plantations!!
the coach had no one else but us taking back to singapore!!the whole coach just for us!!woohoo!

it had to add fuel!!


the fuel tank can hold more than 158 litres of fuel!!

traffic congestion on the causeway!!
finally home-sweet-home!! thru this trip i really felt so bad that no one is continuing my grandfather's pastry shop...it really has been so famous.... and in this trip i was continuously reminded of the times i come back while my grandparents were still around and there will always be the variety of pastries available and a few years back until last yr there was still the peanut biscuit which is unique to the family available and now..when people visit the shop, there's nothing at all....i really think that this business is do-able but just the environment is so inconvenient...if this business all the while started in singapore i believe it'l be a perfect success :))
and now i think i should get prepared to sacrifice and allow my parents to go over and continue this business while i grow independence and live by myself and my brother alone in singapore.
really pray for a miracle to happen for this cherished family business :))
