dancers who dance upon injustice

welcome me back! haha, its been ten thousand years since i blogged! i know i know, how stagnant this blog water has been. it probably already bred three generations of mossies! LOL. carmen has been little miss buzzing-all-over-the-place because of school and everything else. or maybe it just all boils down to poor time management. soo, who wants to knock into me to realise that twenty-four hours is not thirty-three hours!

well, just to update you on the biggest hoo-haa recently; adam and eve danced at the outreach this year and yes, we took the floor. but no, it wasnt our groove, nor our strength. definitely not to our glory, but it all belongs to Him. it was truly because we had a mighty God that was backing us up:: ) through this, i've learned so much so much. so much about the heart of worship, so much about leadership, so much about teamwork, so much about the Father that takes pride in us. could i ever speak enough about how faithful our Father was, watching over us. and when we all were panicking and jumpy, how He never fails to remind me to know that He is God. it is also this time of which i was made weak, so that He was strong. made so small so that He was big. so thank God, thank God!

and of course theres a whole lot more of people to thank, for making this team possible. angie lim ai shan, shawn soh wei li, gladys soh bei yi, chen xiaowei. all your inputs made this dance what it is today! and thak you for your guidance and words of affirmation. always letting me know that i can do it, it definitely meant alotl, thank you!
joel leong jia le, our very faithful and anointed, super powerful worship leader:: ) thanks dude for always coming down and leading us in such beautiful times of worship, such times so soo precious, you may not even have seen it. but this, you've led, has brought this team this far. your constant encouragement has kept me going.
for those that always came down to support us! woots, you guys rock rock rock a&e's world. haha! it was exactly what we all needed. joheng, jowong, tuckie, nictan, joanne and some others:: ) now now, this is way moreee than a seven person's dance, it is indeed a region's dance. qigebage, your cheers integrates with the music, so much a part of us!
oh and how can i forget, our very own consultant, auntie michelle! haha, she was such a great great lady, she helped me to go way out in my thinking. well, of course, carmen being carmen is still very conservative in thought but i've loosen up just a little bit! haha.
and i got very very special people to thank, daisy gary and christina! thanks alot for dropping by. it did, it did meant alot:: ) zhiwei and david too and of course for those who intended to come down! its the thought that counts, and im countin your thoughts, thank youuu! carmen is still breathing bacause of your encouragements!

and so you think i forgot, my very very own team mates, dancers and late night survivors! melody, matthew, michelle, felice, jinlun, grace:: DDDD there is just sooo many soo many times i even thought of giving up, thought that i wont be able to pull through, but your constant words of affirmation kept me hanging in there, kept my hope running. the so many times i just feel like walking away, you guys never never fail to give me a pat on my back, reassuring me that we will pull through. you guys mean just so much so much to me. its truly thick and thin that we've pulled through. isnt that so? i love you, every of one of you. for you are precious, so so precious to me. God bless!

and i realised, that the moment i stepped back, i flood this river with a super long anf naggy post. haha! thats what its like when you miss blogging too much:: X hahahhaa! alright, thats about it people, carmen is off to bed! yawwns, wish me sll the best as i continue to slog my guts out in school, phew the battle with the books (or you will call them lecture notes) begins, again!

sing me that nursery rhyme once more

oh my, i just realised how very very long i have yet to update this stagnant blog. yes, so here i am again, on a very long two hour's break to just update you guys an update. haha! the truth is, its been so so long i forgot what you've missed out on:: D

yawns, school has been boring. boohooo! i still prefer my previous semester, because i feel smarter then. haha! microecons, bstats, bcomm, cip, ob:: ( tough, so tough! lets just keep praying that i will be able to do well! and if you happen to be good in any of these, haha please be nice and teach me! hahaha.

i have one very very very bad news, youth camp falls on my common test week and i seriously think thats the bad-est news ever. im still thinking it through, and praying it through, i might appeal to the office to be excused for the common test, big risk though! wisdom, i need. and of course, i have my net to owe to for such great encouragement and they have been giving me the courage to even think of forgoing a 25% weightage test, 'faith' they said.

and doesnt that remind you how God honours a child-like faith. its amazing to hear the prayer of a kid, sometimes it surpasses even that of a fancy-word prayer by a grown up. i guess thats because they live in the trust to know that when they fall back, it would be into the Fathers arms he will land. so as we grow let us also be mindful that there are times of which we need to learn to lean back and just enjoy the warmth of the Father's embrace, just as a child rests in his mother's arms. and there's a kid in me, like there's a kid in you:: D

woots, BAMP! camp begins tomorrow and im pretty excited, haha and since when was i never excited. LOL! but it still doesnt feel like its already the start of november, i think i just blinked and 1 month is gone. blinked twice and (boom!) there goes my holidays! and yes, im not over the fact that holidays are gone, i need more more and more dosage of holidays:: ) greedy, yes i am. hah!

BA society after the BA esporte event

and guess what, saturday is coming again. haha! the only word that never failes to make me anticipate and look forward to. oh yes and before i forget, i have got dedications for people of whom i lovee very very very much; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCK WAH AND MICHELLE! my two dearest dearest cousins, closest closest to my heart. and can i emphasize it more? you whom i have grown up with, you whom have played a brother and sister in my life. i just pray that God will continue to do a great great work in you both as He already is doing right now. and most importantly, i just want to say thank you and ito say, i loveee you dearest! and how can i forget, colin. happy 21st birthday! haha, thanks for the dinner yesterday it was really nicee! takecare much my brother, and keep hanging there never let loose till you see a breakthrough!

alright people, i shall not blabble on and spare you and your eyes:: ) and you know you're loved faithful ones and keep staying faithful. God bless.

we may walk through countless valleys and roads that are so narrow, but let these mountaintop encounters carry us through.
