when the sun smiles on the green pastures,
or when the grey clouds visits,
when one from the herd goes to hide
or naughty ones decide to bite.
still,
a deep love for the herd,
for a heidi's heart i pray.
when the skies turn gloomy,
let not heavens cry too long.
if You'd catch all my tears,
then let not any bottles be filled.
oh why does it rain, i wonder
i guess i've forgotten,
heidi too gets a heartache often
paint the seven colours across the skies,
pin up the sun; the source of life.
for the strength to walk the herd,
a piece like this i need to see.
heidi too needs daddy's hug.
she needs to hear 'my darling,
everything is gonna be alright.'

hello there people, its 2 am now and im still up. haha, but fret not i will hit the bed after this post:: ) see, you come first!
well, we had dance practice today followed by a full dress rehearsal. haha, i honestly have to confess, i think we have been bitten by some lazybug (and perhaps snacking bugs too). the moment we reached there, we sat comfortably on the couch and munched away. haha! but of course, we did practice lahh, we arent as lazy as you think okay!
it was funn at futsing, region C was there too:: ) the kids were adorable, the choir was melodious, region C was fabulous and region D was happy! hahahhahaa. we were just laughing throughout and seriously that was the spirit that the team has built through all the thick and thins we braved through together, that touched my heart.
there there dear dancers, its tomorrow that we will take our first step to shine our lights where darkness rule:: ) so lets give it our best, not for us but for Him who watches and for this world's whose eyes are seeking. although its hard to imagine how a dance could reach out to the rest, but let not our little hearts limit what our biggg God can do.
oh yess, and all the best to J-crew (region c) too. honestly i think you guys are amazing. go on, and 'set the place on fire!' wooooooooooots. uhh, they probably wont see this, but still :: DD
and my dearest region, adam and eve is not a seven person thing, its an entire region affair! your prayer and encouragement made us possible. your screams, laggi (even) better! LOL. now lets work work work on making carolling very very goooood toooo:: ) never underestimate this opportunity we have in singing at a RC, you'll never know how God can bless this initiative:: )
alrightey, aunty tham is going to bed now(after she removes her dentures and brings in the potty) and quit nagging at you youngsters; youth now adays uhh..
Isaiah 40: 30, 31 'Even youths become exhausted and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.'
thanks xiaowei!

i have finally uploaded some photos that has been left almost forgotten in my phone:: ) and so here i am, to show them to youu!
a night out with my beloved net:: )


granny chua:: D his dentures are falling off!

rebecca, christina, celine, ben, elton:: )


hahah! after a pretty long time, we went out as a net again. although not everyone made it, i would still say i enjoyed myself very much. they have become so much a part of me, i'd feel like they are my own brothers and sisters now:: )
dear Lord, i just pray that You will keep holding them in Your hands, for the every circumstances and trials that they will face. and i pray, that they will keep trusting in You, and that their faith in You will be built. Lord i pray for the day that i will see each and everyone of them rise to be great man and women for You!
but in the meantime, i ask that You will hold my hand as i lead them. teach me to be a shepard unto them, to love them like you do. areas in which i fail, in which im inefficient, Lord i pray you will fill in the gap. give me a heart that will beat for this net. amen.
friday night at ikea, niceee!

yingmin, celine and fishh:: )

we just couldnt leave without taking a final picture.

under Your wings i take refuge, under Your shadow i find rest, in Your loving eyes i find the strength to take my every step.

alrightey, carmen is happy and so happy, she forgot to tell you: the campers are back:: ) haha, its really nice hearing all those screams and shouts again. and after youthcamp, its a double portion of anointing on that, and of course a new and afresh touch from God for all of them! isnt it nice to hear? i have been so blessed by the various testimonies by these loved ones i almost thought that i was there (but definitely not in michelle and bunkmates' room, voted the dirtiest) LOL.
now now, after knowing i've missed out on so so much, i will not and must not miss camp next year, right kahwai? LOL! its such a beautiful sight when you see young people come back transformed, renewed and recharged for God. but i guess whats more important is that whatever work that was done must be sealed and also to be followed up on.
so young and mighty generals, keep the fire in you burning strong and bright not just for a month or two, but let it last for as long as time:: )
for almost all its life, the white candle lived among a group of other candles. though he's friends looked different from him; some were tall, some short, some fatter than the others, they all stood and shone brightly together.
it wasnt for long that the white candle was taken away and seperated from his friends, the tall ones, short ones, fat and skinny ones. he stood all alone in the middle of a dark room and begin to grew a little afraid. although all his life, his wig was litted and left to give forth light he never understood why it was so hard to be like what he used to be. so the white candle held back, afraid to shine. he just wanted to be, like everyone one else.
until a day came and the candle could hold out no more, he itched to see who was beside him and all around him. so he lit his wig shining forth his minimal, just to take a little peep. he saw one candle, two candles, three candles, four...
with him stood those who looked like the friends he knew but they too have held back their glory, just waiting for someone to shine theirs first. and among them were those awaiting for a spark to be birthed, a flame and warmth that could be passed on to them.
if i was a candle, i would want to be one with the wig that is always litted until the day all my wax burns out. but till then, i would spread this flame, one by one, let all the candles be litted; the tall ones, short ones, fat and skinny ones.
thomas edison didnt invented the light bulb for it to be placed in somewhere bright. it was purposed to glow in the dark so that others could see:: ) if a glow is gived off only in the midst of light, then what purpose does it serve?
a lighthouse on hill.

but they will be back tomorrow! wooooooots. after a long wait, its tomorrow that there will be noise again, its tomorrow that im ending my tests:: )) haha, doesnt that give me a reason to flash a big smile? LOL!
i cant wait for the two weeks break, just what i'll need after mugging so much for the common tests. and at the thought of that, im not really confident about my results, booo! but who could i blame, i guess i just havent put in enough effort. oh come on, come on, its time to buck up! but i guess this common test has sort of, well, remind me to pull up my socks. but the greatest fear is that if im underperforming, dad may blame church activities for my grades. and thats not what i want to hear. and i know it isnt true.
and so God i pray, that whatever the results be, You will make a way. and come what may, i'l continue to bless Your name.
tomorrow is another tough tough paper; CIP. no its not your community service thing, its computer information processing? i dont even know what its called. hahaha, and yes, im heading off this very moment to begin this tough battle trying to understand whats hardware, software, information systems, blahhh. LOL!
chenxiaowei; and this friendship still stays close to my heart. and i will still say that if ever you feel like your world is crumbling down, i'l be here to stand by you. and you thought me, what friends are for. i love you.
so see you folks, and wish me all the best:: ) God bless!
and i will stand, not backing down; desperate to see my generation bow to You.

its a happy day cause i've got no papers today:: ) everyone shout hooray with me! haha, nevertheless i need to get back to my books sooon, cause tomorrow im having evil statistics, boooo!
its been so quiet lately cause all the noisy ones are stranded on the holy island, rompin, having so much funn! haha, yes its day two of youthcamp now:: ) somehow they have become so much a part of me, it just feels weird when they are not around. when they no longer scream at your ears, or make you roll your eyes with a silly comment. when all of a sudden, you think something is wrong with your msn cause its so silent. hahahaha!
dear Lord,
right now i commit all the campers into your hands, i just pray that You will watch over them and You will place Your hands of protection upon them. let the weather over there be good so that they will not miss out on all the fun, provide them with what they need, oh Lord make a way out for them in every circumstances. i also pray that they will experience a fresh new encounter with You there, set their hearts on fire once more, that they will center their lives on You and You alone. most importantly oh God, i pray that Your Holy Spirit will seal every work done in their hearts. be with then till they came back and walk before them along this journey. i thank You and praise You in Jesus' name.
Amen!
"Take the Floor" Outreach, 24nov07

and yes, they are really gone. youthcamp is today! they are probably reaching rompin soon, in another few hours time. and blah blah, all the victims of poly are left suffering here, in the exam halls:: ( oh goodness, im complaining again. aiyahh, but seriously it cant be helped! especially when you know the bestest speaker is sharing, the games are ohh-la-la, and the theme is 'better than desaru'. oh wait, haha its My Generation.
oh well, but i do feel very excited for them:: ) awaiting for their returns with their heavy baggages of testimonies and sharing. wooooots! its probably going to be one of the best youthcamp, just that they lack me:: X oh did i mention that! LOL.
pastor jude, shared at edge and our sunday service as well. and i was utterly blessed by his sharing and God's power and timely word. He spoke about being made in the image of God and how sometimes we fail to see or cannot comprehend how we can be like God because our imaginations and thinking has been distorted by the various images of the world. but now i know that im a beautiful work of His hands:: ) the theory of evolution acts as a veil that covers men's fear and uncertainty about being able to be made in God's likeness, isnt that so?
on sunday, he spoke about the most basic yet powerful message; prayer of faith, prayer of the Spirit. im truly encouraged by his faith, and more so by God's faithfulness in listening and answering prayers, to believe and not doubt.
haha, sounds good eh?
oh well, i shall just be a good girl now and mug hard for my papers and pull through these days without my wacky friends. and when exams are over, i will see all the pretty faces again. dear God, let this week past ultra quickly and let saturday come fast! takecare people, im going to prepare for my papers now; supply demand, law of diminishing, lalalalala!
the greatest love that anyone could ever know. it overcame the cross and grave to find my soul.

:: ) im popping by, again!
and yes, hello to you, again. well ask me how i am and i would still be yacking away about being 'busy busy bumble beeee' in schoool and all over the place. its seriously, phew, tiring! why am i not finding the 'chill and relaccc' life in the poly people talk about? and please, dont go on to tell me how year two and three would be like. hahaha! but of course, fret not for im still going on strong:: DD the books and notes and all those scheming projects just have to know that they are no match for me! haha.
the year is coming to an end, and my head is still stuck, somewhere there in june. haha, i just cannot understand how quickly time has gone by. now its not just at the blink of an eye, its like at the twitch of your eyelids, and zooom there goes a year. doesnt it seem? and its always during this time of the year where everyone gets 'emo' and starts reminiscing (or is it just me?). then carmen begins to think of all she has done this year and somehow feel like crying::' ( no no, not because she has been naughty, but because she doesnt like it when good times fly sooo quickly! you know how bad her sstm can be:: X
and heres some special special moment spent with Region Deeee, where all the crazy, lovely, encouraging, wild and funn people meet and go wacky:: D and its where i find lovee, and the family that never fails to support!





haha, arent they simply adorable. and need i still say how much i lovee them? this region has walked me through sooo much. and theres still more to come:: ) and the most fulfilling part of all, is to see how much God has worked in their life as He did in my life.
my dearest, lets all keep walking together, lets all grow old (and toothless) together, grins.
