just got home from the perfect outing with the bestest friends on earth :) 4/9 OOTGR plus the boyfriend Jelvin.. haha.. watched a screening at Singapore Arts Museum.. Beetlejuice.. haha.. afterwhich we spent about an hour taking lame shots.. resulting in lots of perspiration haha.. never knew taking pics could be such a workout..

was really glad i made my way down to meet them.. mich, nad, yuan+jelvin.. started the day quite early at the indoor stadium to serve.. helped packed mooncakes for the mooncake celebration service for chinese/hokkien ministry.. pastor mark's funny as usual.. but i got really touched by the testimony from this invited guest singer.. forgot his name now.. too late for brain to function properly..

i got blown away with his story.. he's 44yrs old and spent about 20yrs in prison.. and all the time, it was his grandma that visited him.. it made me think la.. about how i treat my grandma.. it made me think about what my grandma has done for me all these years.. more when i was younger.. hmm.. and how i treat her now.. now that im self-sufficient.. have a mind of my own.. hmm.. reflections huh..

anw.. was kinda tired after that.. lugged 4bks which cheemin loaned me home.. super heavy.. but THANK YOU CHEEMIN for lugging it to SIS!! love love =) super tempted to juz stay home and start 'attacking' those books.. but decided to spend some time with ootgr.. anw i was kinda feeling 'quilty' for missing out on all their gatherings :)

thank You Daddy God for placing these awesome pple in my life.. i treasure each one of them loads =)

service at SIS again tml.. oh, i mean later.. =)

don't make e mistake of not involving God in something He's started w you
He starts it, He'll finish it. and only He can do an excellent work
so let Him do!!!!!

once again.. im taking time off (too much time in fact) from my work.. juz read proverbs 22..

love how verse 4 seems to be a continuation from what i shared from proverbs 21 last night.. Proverbs 21:21 says He who follows righteousness and mercy find life, righteousness and honor. and Proverbs 22:4 tells us that riches, honor and life comes by humility and the fear of the Lord.

both nights.. both verses.. there's a voice telling me that i shld spend more time in worship.. im guilty of putting down the guitar for a very long time now.. a very dry season im going thru.. trying to find my direction in this area.. pastor said if anything's from God, it's going need God to make it work.. not by my own effort..

and i like another verse Proverbs 22:12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the faithless.

whatever i revised or whatever i missed out or did not understand for tml's maths test, im trusting that as God lives in me, im studying through Him, and His eyes through my eyes and He has preserved whatever knowledge i need to know for the paper. and im going to do the paper in faith knowing that it is God working through me. and im not going to speak words of un-faith as my words are powerful.

ok a sudden thought now that im taking a breather.. again.. juz done with math.. gonna start on my 2nd essay after this.. but gosh.. look at the time.. and ive got 930 class at pulau ntu tml.. anw..

i feel a teeny bit guilty.. for missing out on ootgr gatherings so so frequently.. including today's hari raya celeb at nad's house.. well one, i stayed up so late last night finishing up my essay.. and woke only at 1pm today.. i was SHOCKED when i opened my eyes and looked at the clock.. haha..

but anw.. when i received mich's sms.. i flashbacked on the seminar i had some time back.. on study skills organised by church.. something that a leader shared about his life when he was a student.. and wad he said seem all too true now..

hmm....

well im taking a breather from my essays.. and decided to follow Pastor's instructions on reading a proverb a day.. here goes..

Proverbs 21:21 He who follows righteousness and mercy find life, righteousness and honor.

first thing that popped in my mind was the verse from one of the church worship songs You Alone I Praise..

My righteousness, my holiness
Emmanuel, living in me
Merciful king, to You I sing
Matchless in worth
You're awesome in deeds

Jesus is my righteousness, Jesus is the merciful King. so He who follows Jesus and Jesus (there can never too much of Him) finds life, righteousness and honor! it's that simple! and you know what? Proverbs 15:9 says that Jesus loves him who follows Him (righteousness). isn't that cool?

and Matthew 5:6 says that blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Jesus (righteousness), for they shall be filled! and the bible also says to seek God with patient continuance.. to seek Him patiently, continuously.. be conscious of His presence in every situation.. knowing that He's there 24/7 (even as im typing this) is super comforting..

and finally.. me taking precious time off from rushing my essays and studying for my test which is due SO SOONNN.. this time spent will not be in vain as i bask in the presence of Daddy God who is my Victory.

Hosea 2:19-20

And then I'll marry you for good—forever!
I'll marry you true and proper, in love and tenderness.
Yes, I'll marry you and neither leave you nor let you go.
You'll know me, God, for who I really am.

824am.. reached hall at 730 this morning.. lugged a huge hand carry and a bagpack from home today.. mostly snacks.. haha.. the family drove me to hall last saturday to bring in bedsheets, clothes, bolster.. too bad i din think to bring snacks.. thus the heavy load this morning..

my roommate sounded kinda rude last night when i was chatting with her on msn.. i prayed about it.. today i stepped into the room.. she wasnt around.. but she left a note on my table.. and she sounds so much friendlier :D and the reason she's not around is cos her lessons starts at 730.. haha.. and ends at 830 tonight..

which means i'll be alone.. my lessons start at 930 and ends at 530 today.. hmm.. oh yea.. she's a yr 2 PE student teacher.. quite cool.. but means she leaves lots of sporting gear all around the room to 'air' them.. haha..

oh and her note oso confesses that yes she is indeed house-ing her 'guy-friend' in the room too cos of their "pathetic timetable" and "pathetic ntu halls".. and she hopes that i wun mind.. hmm.. i guess i wun.. as long as they dun disturb me.. yea..

so.. wad shld i do after sch today.. there's nothing to do except EAT/SLEEP/STUDY huh.. no tv.. no friends.. sucha loner.. haha.. maybe i shld juz go for OOTGR dinner.. but i dun wanna travel back to hall at night! on my 1st night! so scary! hmm..

and yes.. tonight is gonna be my first night staying in hall.. i took the opportunity of an empty room this morning to anoint the place with oil.. praying for favour with roommate.. and safety of course..

many pple i spoke to dun recommend staying in hall.. on the day when i was supposed to accept the offer for hall, i was so hesitant too.. there wasnt peace inside of me.. but.. i dunno why.. i still went ahead.. maybe it's the rebellious part of every human being huh.. and maybe i just need to walk this through..

God is with me :)

happy teachers' day! ;D
