I'm waiting..
coz I think I'm worth waiting for.
She's waiting..
coz she think she's worth waiting for.
For PW, we're basing it on this incredible website called therebelution.com.
It's set up by a pair of christian twin brothers. It's a call to christian teens to rebel against the rebellion today. Do hard things: a teenage rebellion against low expectation.
In a world that is experience declining morality, it's hard to have high standards and even harder to live up to those standards. But we can in Christ and we must.
The best way to give a present is to give it through a surprise. While a failed attempt at the surprise element doesn't change the gift, the value of the gift is still lower than it could have been if the surprise took place successfully. I'm sure most of us know how sucky it is to spoil a surprise meant for you. And to have a successful surprise, one needs patience.
I think a lot of things in God's kingdom is like that. When you stop insisting on what you want now but choose to wait for God to give it in His own timing, you'll be pleasantly surprised by what He gives.
Some things are just worth waiting for.
So I'm waiting..

Some people think it's incredulous to believe that everything happens because of God. At least that's what they think we think when we thank God for everything in our lives. That's not surprising. I mean, who likes the idea of having your life subject to a stranger's whims and fancies?
The key word is STRANGER.
They do not know, do not understand who is it we're thanking.
I've been getting that feeling again. A challenge to do/ believe something more than I think i can do. To live extraordinarily. I get the feeling that right now, He is getting some sort of framework into place. The framework to yet another larger than life miracle. Just what He's planning i don't know yet. But maybe it has something to do with the intRO. so stay tune i guess.

This is the only picture I have that was taken in NY.
I'm waiting.. And still waiting..
zzz..
My tickets are not selling!!!! Ooooh, maybe I should be more hardworking. But as of now, I've only sold 2 tickets. One to my mom and one to my dad. Wahhh, pls dun let this be like polka pls pls pls! :'(
Right. Ok, so i've been debating with myself on whether to run or to fly for almost a week now and finally managed to reach a decision after reading the bible (something i haven't done for awhile) last night.
1 Corinthians 1:22-31
Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
[Thanks for pointing this out to me BOF =]
Somehow after reading that, I knew I just had to try. Even if it meant throwing my face away, I had to try. It's better to have tried and lost, than to have not tried at all. Forget the miraculous signs, forget waiting for opportunity to land on your lap coz it doesn't. I know my God is wiser than me, stronger than me, and I trust that He will open the right doors to me and shut the wrong ones. Forget all my fears, forget all my failures. Coz I was never much to begin with, but it was Him who redeemed me and made me who I am.
So I'm running even if it means falling. Because when I'm vulnerable, when I am weak, it is when I am strong in Him. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

Planetshakers was goooood! But I left halfway to send Joey off at the airport. My wallet gets a break, but I miss crazy woman. That said, hillsongs is still my favourite Christian band. Their tunes are just easier to catch and often get stuck in my head for a whole day.
Just like some one in my church, I think I'm intelligent (HAH!). You see, guys like to hang around girls who are gullible or make a lot of noise because they are fun to disturb and this somehow makes them feel better about themselves (!!?!?!? ego!). Since guys don't like to hang around me, that means I'm not gullible. Therefore the conclusion is, I'm intelligent :D Yay!

To all people who reads this blog, indeed I wonder who they are, but if you want to show your support for me, NOW'S THE TIME!!
The first two songs are what we played in Carnegie Hall that got us the awesome 95/100 (try playing a piece of music and only losing 5 marks, hoho). The latter being the one I saw chariots and angels while playing it, yea :]
Haha. I'm really quite proud of the band. While you can have a lot of fun even in a "loser" CCA, it's just MORE fun to have fun in a CCA that is actually really good at what it does. Yea, we're good at what we do =] And just like how the audience at Carnegie couldn't resist giving us a standing ovation, I think those who turn up at for this won't be able to resist too. HAH.
YEA, so watch out for the new kid on the block!

I skipped playing Shanghai in church to come home to clear stupid P.I and GP essay but I still can't seem to get anything done coz I'm so terribly distracted. In example, I'm blogging right now. Ho ho. Zzz.
After missing service for 2 weeks, it's great to be back again. While you can worship God without any music, I think nothing beats having a competent worship team leading you in worship. I was also quite surprised to find all four of us in church today. Somehow I'd forgotten how noisy and nonsensical things can get. And even if it's just for a little while, I'm thankful to God that we can be gathered thus once again.
Oh oh. I almost forgot. A short testimony that isn't wahhhh oooooooh and all but still I want to thank God for.
So yesterday, I felt a sudden sharp pain at like the right back side of my waist or wadever that area is called. Each time I took a breath/whenever my lungs expanded I would feel the sharp pain digging into my side. It was bad enough that I could feel panic setting in as with each breath I could feel the pain getting more and more intense. So in desperation I turned to God and started to pray, something I must admit that I haven't been doing much of recently. And when I was done, the pain miraculously went away. Is God amazing or what? I was actually surprised that He healed me despite the fact that I haven't been talking to Him much recently. God is Good amen?
Ok, time to get back to work.

FIRST post since I've been back in singapore!
It feels too humid and hot. Hah. But I'm glad to be back all the same. Then again, I still miss New York. I would like to visit America again someday. However, I now officially dislike long plane rides. It's just horrible to be stuck up in the sky with terribly dry air that somehow makes your nose all screwed up while having to sleep on that awful chair that pushes your head forward.
Bleahh. Stop whining!!
That said, New York so totally rocks!
Carnegie rocks too! But, we rock the most! Whooo! I think we totally rocked the hall during our performance xD. Like out of 100, the judges gave us 93, 96, 96. Imba not? IMBA!
The performance itself was quite a different experience for me. Partly because of the hall i guess. But i say different because i felt some unseen hand/force during the performance. It's hard to explain. Like before I had to play at A, the part I tend to screw up because I always need some time to warm up to the music, I just went "this one's for you daddie" and it came out. It's just different to play it for God I guess. And then at the "battle scenes", while I played I could imagine chariots of angels coming from the heavens and defeating the enemy. Instead of seeing the battle between machu and the enemies, I saw the battle between heaven and hell. The vivd mental image was actually quite a hair rising experience :/
Sounds a little bit hard to understand but in short, it just means that I could feel God's tangible presence with me while I played. Thank God for that like seriously. And for the safe trip there and back. And for the good results And for the cute little christian group we formed to pray before and after the competition.
ZZz. Ok and I'm falling asleep infront of the comp again.
Jet lag is killing me! I feel like I just stayed up the whole night when really I've only been awake the whole day. Coz technically, staying awake the whole day here is staying awake the whole night in NY. zzzzz. I WANT TO SLEEP! But i can't! Or i would never get rid of the jet lag. Plus i need to clear all the dreaded work that has piled up while I was gone. BLEAH! :(
ok ok. I'll blog pictures when I get around to koping them from my section. Yea, I brought a camera but didn't use it at all. HAH.
zzz
