Blessing, Surrendering and WWJD

There are many times we face difficulties and really tough decisions. Sometimes it means a sacrifice. Sometimes it means doing something we dislike. However, I doubt God or Jesus would ever wanna start a fight.. or an argument. Being part of God's family is truly the biggest and most wonderful gift I could ever have. Because in it I meet ppl who wants chaos to end and corruption to disappear. I understand too that because God's family are REALLY REALLY nice and kind people, they are sometimes be taken advantage of. Its sad yes, but really.. What Would Jesus Do (WWJD)?

An argument is started over a small situation. It grows heated because thr are sure to be conflicts and each person wants it their way. But seriously.. Would Jesus want the people He died for (so they could return to God) to argue among each other? Would God ENJOY seeing His creation fight and argue among each other? As Christians and as God's children.. We know that our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the devil...against Mr S.A. Tan himself (Ephesians 6:12).

In my opinion, winning an argument does NOT show who is the strongest. But ending it in a way to obtain peace is truly the winner. It is truly and extremely hard because there are ppl surely waiting to pull you down. As God's children, we are always being scrutinized and observed..Like a fish in a fish bowl. One mistake and people say "God's people are like us, how does it make a difference between us and them?".

To my awesome and lovely and dearsome friends (you know who you are =D), I know you may find it unable to accept and such. But God bless me with you ppl, my loving family and every other brother-sisterS in Christ PLUS good friends.. Some ppl dont have what I am bless with. So the decision I made. Count it as to bless (and to surrender it into God's hands). Its my decision and if its for God's glory to shine. Let it be done. Nthg is worse than letting ppl see Jesus and God in the wrong way. Love you guys ^.^!! And thanks for being concern.

Cameron with Water Gaters

Its been super looooooong since I finally decided to update =P. Been really bz and lazy ever since SAM ended. Just thinking sometimes about college still makes me feel how short the time was and wonder bout the effort I honestly put in.

Just few weeks back, my family and I went to Cameron with the Water Gate Cell!!! It was really fun being with them after super long. I used to care for the kids, play play, talk talk, laugh laugh, watch movies n etc. During the Cameron trip, I am proud to see few of them change for the better, some no change and 1 or 2 drastic change. But still, their fighting spirit NEVER changes!! They still love to "fight".. Boys =.=..

I met a few young adults, college and... DanLo's brother, Darren Lo!! We both were introduced "cyber-ly" thru danlo then he "somehow" really enjoys the cell and is nw part of it ^.^. I also met marcus and kahsoon. Those two are like peas in a pod but not blood related =.=. Seriously!! Anywhr u go, u most of the time see them together. But u know the sweetest thing?? Both love their parents so much tht they (spy) couldnt BEAR to kill their moms (mafia) in the mafia game.

Oh yes!! After playing mafia with the adults, I realize adults... can nvr seem to come to a conclusion. The game could go on n on n on n on.. Anyway, many pics were taken but only few were put up =P. Some random shots also of the place. More in facebook. Enjoy!!

The moths were HUGE

purple penguins

Thts all the updates for today =P. Nitez~

Waking Up

Ugh... Feel like I got hangover =.=. Maybe better than a hangover. Feel like the music kinda pounding in my head. Clubbing was interesting but I guess its not as much my style as I thought it was. Its interesting but.. I prefer my speakers at home XD. The music didnt seem to be playing rite and the lights made it all so dizzy... The gas kinda made my voice all pitchy and squeaky, plus smelled like helium. Bleh XD!!

Hm.. its really over. SAM is over. A bit hard to believe.. Hope I will still get to see MOST of them soon or next year. Take care u guys!!

Loves!!
(me need to get food.. Woozy...)

Final-e of SAM

A year of studies has gone by. A year of college is finally over. Through these months, I met many different yet unique friends. Some had left but some still stayed. Weird events were exchanged.

Its very weird how friends from our secondary schools and primary schools don't hit us as much as college friends. Could it be due to the distance each stays? Primary and secondary schools..All lives approximately around each other. However when it comes to college.. Friends exist from diff parts of the country, state, places and etc. The distance makes it very hard to bond with each other.

A thought came to me once when someone confessed their feelings to me. The thought was "what happens after graduation?". Would it just end there? It didnt make sense so I guess it only shows tht the timing is not now. It didnt occur to me bout friendship. After graduation..Would we still be in contact? Would we still b of gud friends like how we were in college?

Truly and honestly.. I would miss some of the friends i made in college. ESPECIALLY the guys in table tennis. Everyday we would just play and play whenever we are free. How you all got the interest, I dun even wanna noe =P. But I am proud to see that you all have improved greatly. Few had even bought bats of their own. Just through playing we had a friendship. I wonder whether we would be able to play again with each other one day. The "little" S2 group, the indians, A-lvls, ICPU, and few dance group ppl. Lol.. Will really miss you guys. Other guys also contributed in other ways which i too appreciate =).

The girls.. Not many of you I had been close with but a few I know I hang out with a lot. Still, it was because of them I still have my feminine side still intact XD. Just kidding. But both provided strength and care. Though we are very bad with words or unsure how to express it, but each gave me enough to support myself.

I heard many similiar comments throughout the year too..

1. quite tom-boyish: just go ECA, nw everyone smash girls =.=
2. stubborn: dunno also will still try
3. not materialistic: Actually, I doubt that. Its just I dun shop.
4. different: i guess they mean initiation. Well, if you wanna make friends, whats wrong with a girl going up to a guy and say "hi, can I/my friends and I join your game?"
5. strong: hmm....I think this is just an outside view. I mean, look at everyone. Each has a pride to protect sometimes. But inside it actually really hurts..
6. Sensitive: Immediate response after a tease

I think i'll stop here. I had great fun at prom. SAW what was clubbing. Goodness.. Came out with a squeaky voice. Too much helium?? I dunno what i typing d. So here it is. Nitez!!!

Loves <3

TOMORO SHOPPING XD!! First time =P

Testimony by Chen Soon Fei

This testimony is by a gud friend of mine from CF. I just copy and paste after his acknowledgement. Thanks buddy =D. Its a he btw, to those that dunno.

"As some of you may know, I really wasnt living much of a Christian life before the camp. Ask any of my friends, there would be at least one curse or swear in every of my sentences, and worse, my heart was really dull and cold towards God.

During the first day of camp, there was a part of me that did not really feel like going, but anyway, I told myself to just go with an open heart. During the first session itself, I was really touched by God... so much so that I felt really lead to just walk up to the altar and when the pastor prayed for me, I really broke down and cried...a lot. I could tell you guys that camp really just blessed me and brought me back to Christ, I am really thankful for the Lord for His faithfullness and His mercy and grace.

So, how have I changed after camp? I hardly ever swear anymore, and am trying to stop completely! I could get along with my parents really well after the camp. God is just so amazing and is working in me every single day, and I just want to encourage you all to just hang on to Him and never let go no matter what trials or tribulations that may come in your way, and to just stand up and walk with Him again after falling, cause He will never let you go and He will ALWAYS be there to welcome you back, amen? :)"

AMEN =D!! Sometimes we hear testimonies from far away or years older/younger than us. This is a testimony of my OWN friend, whom i have seen with my OWN eyes and talked with my OWN mouth.

I guess when it comes to changing, the first question is: Are we willing to change?

The next question would be: Are we willing to let Him change us?

Just askin God to change us when we ourselves are not whole heartedly agreeing is not gonna change anything. We may be tired, God did not say "Do not rest", instead He says He will give us rest and protect us as we rest (Psalms 23:1-4). Importantly, like what Soon Fei says..

NEVER LET GO!! HANG ON TO HIM!!

Disturb Me, Lord

To grow cannot be by faith alone. It must come with action. But action and drive based on what??

If its action just for the sake of it, it is like merely an empty shell walking on earth. However, BECAUSE I LOVE GOD, I WILL do it for Him. I WANT to do something for Him. I WANT others to know His unconditional love which no other being (mortal/immortal) can express. I used to play this song often, its words can really mean a lot.

Send Me - Planetshakers

Send me I will go
Send me I will
To this city, to this nation
And to the nations of the world

Send me I will go
Send me I will go
I will proclaim the truth
That Jesus Christ is Lord

I stand before You pleading from my heart
That by Your Spirit You would set me apart
To bring good news and liberty
To see this nation on its knees

I cry out for every family
You'd open blind eyes and set people free
That as a nation we would turn back to You
And see revival sweep this land

As we humble ourselves
And seek Your face
Fall on our knees
Turn from our ways

You will hear our cry
Wipe our sins away
Come and heal our land we pray

Wont it be awesome if we all could fly as one, with one mindset - to do what God calls us to do.
