this morning i went for IMT. just when i rushed out of my house, i find that my dunks are missing. MY NIKE DUNKS FROM TAIWAN! like, one of the rare items i brought back from taiwan went missing. thank God i din really like them, but still! shoes!!! zzz, that guy robbed my dad of his rotting leather shoes too.

right on the eve of moving away from this place, i get robbed of my shoes. eitherway, GOOD BYE BUKIT PANJANG AND HELLO CHOA CHU KANG. the land of endless travel.

so many thoughts in my head. God sort them out. teach me how to speak into people's lives.

when i am stressed, i get lots of ulcers. i have two now. my highest hit count was 5.
lol.

anyway, its been a really busy period of time for me, though i'm like having holidays. been learning guitar, busy looking for things needed when i move house, busy meeting people, but God really is faithful, He still has been speaking so much.

today the word was surrender. whole, total, complete surrender. not just in basic struggles, not just the same things we hand over to God all the time, but rather something deeper. like for myself, i want to surrender my life to God so that i can be a salt and light everywhere i go. it's really really easier said than done. too often a time, i lose my patience with my parents, i snap at people around me, i dont give up my seat to people in the bus, i seem unfriendly and unhelpful in camp. all these things makes God's light shine that wee bit lesser. i gotta surrender to God in all these areas so that i can be better salt and light. today's sermon left me with some regret. i didnt influence as much as i could. in ns, i maintained a super duper low profile. people know i'm a christian, but they don't ask why. i wanna be impactful in my circle of influence. i wanna love my parents more.

choir recruitment coming up! please, all who can sing! just sign up! if you think you can sing, sign up! if you're not sure if you can sing but suspect you can, SIGN UP! if you dunno if you can sing or not, but wanna join choir, SIGN UP!!!

i wanna go cut my hair.

GOD PLEASE SEND ME THE RIGHT SONGS.

it's a new year, it's a new start.

new sheep, new responsibilities, new friendships.

today God romanced me.
He specifically told me that He rejoices over me with dancing. Whenever i choose to turn to Him, He celebrates. that is the Father I have, a lovesick Father who doesn't look at how dirty my hands are, but He sees me past the murk.

You rejoice over me. That's Grace. I don't deserve it, but yet You, YOU the Biggest Big shot in the world, rejoice over me. that's all that really matters.

2 new year resolutions.
Journalling consistently to remember.
get six packs.
LOL.

*dances* i'm celebrated over.

cg was a blast today. i think we stood in the kitchen for like 3 hours cooking. so silly. i had a great time fellowshipping with fellow chefs simon and lee! daniel came to fry stuff too. we started at like 245, by 430 we were only frying our pork. lol, den i entered the super choleric mode. time to speed things up cause i was getting sick cooking. fried EGGS EGGS AND EGGS. soup was good too!

hey to my caregroup. i'm blessed to have you guys to share my life with. actually when we were sitting around the coffee table just sharing about stuff besides new year resolutions, i felt that i could spend the whole night there. i think partially cuz hui ying's house had such a nice ambience la, near a "river" and greenery. i enjoyed the talk lots.

great start to this year!

*dances some more* i'm rejoiced over.
