daniel is finally free from school life, at least for the time being
today is the last day of my ntu school life
for i finished my fyp presentation today!
april 30 2009

but so many things happened that marred the day
so it's not really a good day for daniel

In today's daily bread, it talks abt hypocrisy. We must make sure our actions and the way we think towards God go hand in hand.
We should not act like a hypocrite like the Pharisees in Jesus' time!

Hypocrisy is a common sin
That grieves the Lord above
He longs for those who'll worship Him
In faith and truth and love. --- Bosch

in today's daily bread edition, the article is about guarding one's heart n soul so that it can be pure for God's use. gatekeepers. are we guarding it securely? am I guarding it securely?


Help me to guard my troubled soul
By constant, active self-control.
Clean up my thought, my speech, my play;
Lord, keep me pure from day to day. —Thomas

what i learnt from bsf last night is this:

God can do all things because He is all powerful

To be a Christian

got this from one of the many emails i received

9 more days to my first paper and i feel so unprepared.
19 more days to my fyp presentation n i do not know what to include in the powerpoint because no one told me what to include inside and i have no time to ask people
freedom, where are you? i want you so badly now! hahah ~~

it suddenly struck me

singapore has a population made up of approximately 1/4 of foreigners which is ~ 1 million people. all these people are either in the construction, financial or science industries. n if these people suddenly leave, it will leave a gap in our economy. it's almost identical with the situation of Egypt in the Bible. the Israelites were foreigners in Egpyt. they went there at the invitation of the king of Pharoah. but after many many years, they became slaves and were unhappy with their situation in Egypt. The Pharaoh did not allow the Israelites to leave because they would leave a big gap in their construction industry.

I'm thinking, the foreigners in Singapore came at the invitation of our country but if they to multiply more n grow, will we become like Egypt?? Although it hasn't happened, i seriously hope it will not ! it's too scary to have 10 plagues befalling on us!!!

i miss her
i think of her most of the time
