It's a 'black' day today.
Once I'm back home from school, I met a fine lady promoting to me about a facial treatment. I was quite interested in it as it's quite cheap. I just felt like giving it a try since I've never tried it before. But you know what?! After 2 hours, my face had some scars due to the poking (taking the blackheads off). Awww... I regret it. It's painful. The lady said that after a few days the scars will be gone. Hmm... Hopefully.
Haiz. And then I went to Sim Lim Square to search for my HP printer ink and a earpiece. As I was looking around in one shop, I accidentally dropped one of the displayed earpiece and it has a plastic covering. So the cover broke but the earpiece it's still usable. Then I have to buy it. In another shop, I found the earpiece that I dropped and it cost so much lesser.
I feel so cheated! All occured on the same day. I should have been good, go and meet Sihui and others for movie or go for an injection that I should take by this week straight after school.
God!!! Help me...

Beginning of school life
Week 2 in school has ended.
Weeks ahead are really proper school time with tutorials commencing.
I have been busy printing notes and readings and buying textbooks.
Oh the TEXTBOOKS!
I only brought 3 books.
They cost S$109++. OH!!!
They cost a bomb and they weigh a ton!
And they will only last for 1 sem, which is 4 months!
Now, I have lots of readings to catch up with and I want to work hard for my grades.
I trust that God will teach me to study because the study method is really different from the past.
I trust that God will also be with me no matter where I am.

Singapore Fireworks Festival
MOF (Ministry of Food) @ Marina Square
I was jumping with joy when Alvin asked me to watch fireworks at the floating platform.
It was really a fantastic experience.
Thank you, Mingwei for getting the tickets.
Thank you, Mingwei, Yanxing and Alvin for running over from Suntec to the platform.
I know it is really tiring. =)
Thank you, God for giving me friends who have brought so much joy to me!

Fireworks!
Some are flying across the skies; some are blasting right up at my face; some are blomming far far away; some are hidden in the smoky sky (because of the pollution na); some are jumpping and flashing their way through the dark skies; some are just colourful remote control kites that they shoecase on national day...
Oh! So nice!
Boy With A Coin
This song featured on my blog is called 'Boy with A Coin' by Iron & Wine (Sam Beam).
It's a soft catchy song but it has a rather sad meaning.
Here's the lyrics:
A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world
A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
If God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the earth
A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world
I came across an explanation of this song by Manikay and I think his viewpoint is rather interesting.
Do read on!
to me, this song goes to show a lot of things.
firstly, the boy finding something valuable (a coin) at the site of a carcrash. the first thing that came to my mind was that he'd acquired something innocently at the expense of someone else, the people involved in the carcrash. it goes to show the frugal nature of living; something of worth at the expense of another.
it also brought to my mind how humans, as a collective, have desensitized, and can't be brought to feel the pain and suffering of others. the reference to bullets and trade magazines shows two heavy mainstays in our world; the bullets representing violence, and the trade magazines, commercialism and the dependence on/obsession with money.
i think "God left the ground to circle the world" is an expression on behalf of God, painting him in a human light, stating how he loses his faith in people when they become obsessed with their selfish needs and wants. the car flipping is a consequence of God no longer watching over the people due to their selfishness. the coin may also be symbolic of something that makes him forget all the violence and economic strife in the world.
the second verse presents a much harsher image, though it is put with eloquence and subtlety.
i think Hag has hit the hammer clean on it's head with the reference to the girl and the "bird" she found signifying rape, which is pretty much the most severe loss of innocence a girl can face.
in this stanza, the reference to the eyes being made for crying and God's absence is to show the girl's resentment to God, who she feels deserted him right when she was born, leaving her to suffer through the trials and tribulations of life with no one to look out for her.
the last stanza refers to the same boy who found the coin in the first verse, and shows a bitterness so profound that even that something precious he found in this life (the coin) is no longer the same valuable it was to him.
hence the rough treatment when sam says the coin was "crammed in his jeans". disappointed that nothing the boy wanted came of the coin, he threw it away into the sea at the cost of a wish. this is symbolic of him giving it up in a show of repentance, hoping that his giving up the coin will make the situation better.
i think the last couplet shows that the boy is ready to accept whatever is to come, hence his walking back to the town that all of "us" are burning, again symbolic of the fact that humans, as a collective, are laying the world to waste.
keeping in tune with the previous verses, the absence of God is again mentioned, the link again established that it is because of a lack of that something good (even though God is absent, his presence to me is shown in a benevolent light. that he is absent is how his lack of affection manifests itself) that people live their lives with reckless abandon.
the underlying theme of this song is ultimately the loss of innocence and the absence of Godliness, interwoven with a social commentary that deals with the two concepts intermittently.
Brilliantly done.
I'm addicted to this song, and i don't know when it'll be over.

我是一个大学生！
Aww... I'm in school now and I'm doing the tutorial balloting before my lecture starts.
And it's taking so so soooo loooong to load.
I'm fainting soon.
Well, I just have this realisation that I am a University Student!
That has been my dream since young!
When I was young, my ambition is to get into University.
But as I grow up, so many things get into and out of my mind that I forget my childhood ambition - being a University student.
Yesterday, it just suddenly daunt on me that I am so blessed to be able to fulfil my childhood dream.
And what's more? In a good Uni. And in a course that I want to be in.
Thank God!

A visit to NTU
steps, Steps and More STEPS!
No lectures today; so I went to NTU to visit Sarah, Esther and Yangyang and also to roam around NTU!
Well, this trip is good good!
Makes me realise how good NUS is. haha!
And I did not make a wrong choice. Heh heh. =P
There are just so so So SO SOOOO many STEPS in NTU. Walk a little and you need to climb 3 flights of stairs. Then walk a few more steps, you need to climb another flight of stairs. And when you think that all is over, you're WRONG(!), there's more stairs for you to climb!
WOW! These will certainly make you lose weight!
So I thank God that I am in NUS. I'll not have so many steps to climb. =)
And I thank God that NUS is smaller than NTU, otherwise I'll be so lost. =)

In Your loving embrace
God gave me a little gift, a poem, when I was vexing about the bidding process.
Here it goes...
How my Lord, bring me to Your quietness
Take me away from the worldly desires
Put me in the loving arms of Yours, My Lord
And bring me closer to You
In Your presence, I have nothing to fear
In Your mercy, I am cleansed from my sins
Now I’m standing, as a justified child
In Your loving embrace
It actually comes with a tune at that time, so it makes it a song. But now, I forget the tune. Hee. =) It still nice.
Thank you, God.

I just want to wish...
Sinagpore, Happy 42nd Birthday!
My sister, brother and many of my friends are happy that they are having a holiday because of National Day. So happy for them. That causes me to be able to spend my afternoon with them. Yeah!
But...
Well, I have been on a holiday since I finished my A's which is like 8months +++. Haha! So whether today is a holiday or not, it doesnt make a difference to me. Heh heh. =P
AND! School is starting soon... Awww... Hey, not just the teeny weenies don't like school, I also don't like school.
Can't imagine I'm going to start school this coming Monday! Oh my!
'Hole-ly-daays'
Looking back, in this long looong loooooooooong break, I did experience many mercies and incredible leadings of the Lord! It was fantastic!
~~1st thing to give thanks is my whole A's process and my results! It is incredible! I broke down so many times while I was whacking my books and it's the Lord who pulled me through every time I fall into the pit. My results? All glory to Him!
~~2nd thing. My job at PulleyAscent. It wasnt really a wooohooo wow wow wow marketing research company, but I think I didn't regret working for Boss Winston. Though many times I couldn't agree to the way he does things but what can I do? He's the BOSS!
But by God's grace and I knew Kim Chin and ZhuHui through this company. They are just simply great and wonderful people! Oh my goodness! Thank God for letting me meet them.
I just met up with Zhuhui not long ago. She still looks the same and she is quitting! YEah! So happy for her because she has got a masters and yet a lowly paid job. Boo boo. Okie la, I shouldn't grumble. That's how I got to know her ma. Thank God for Zhuhui!
~~Of course, my China trip is the 3rd thing that I must must give thanks for!
I have learned so much of God when I was there and I got in touch with so many cute babies, aunties, grannies, grandpas, youths and ect. That was a very well spent 2.5 months! =)
~~ 4th on the list! Ta da! My days working in Taka. Again, it wasn't a fantastic one. But both experiences make me realise that working isn't as easy as it seems.
When I young,
I wish to grow up soon and start working.
When I started working,
I wish I could go back to school again.
When I am going to commence school,
I wish I could just stay at home and do nothing.
Haha! No la, I'm not such a lazy bum okie!
~~ Lastly, I thank God for bringing me to NUS, going through the sickening bidding & balloting even though there is a little regret that I didn't choose NTU, direct honours to Psychology.
I trust and believe that He will lead me through the uni life and (I like to pray this) even though I am lacking of many many things, may I be able to magnify Him in my lackage.
Praise Him!

Kind is the word.
Listening to: My funny friend and me
Mood: Whatever!
Today is Yiyi's birthday. Tomorrow is Mengen's and Wanjing's birthday. 12th is Yangyang's birthday.
Happy birthday everybody!
(That makes a hole in my pocket. hmmm... Well, I guess it's worth it.)
BiddinG, Bidding, bidding...
It has been a bidding week. Bidding for modules are really nervewrecking. It almost blows my mind off.
You know you have to find a module that doesn't clash with your timetable, doesn't clash with your other modules' exams, bid-able for new 1st yr students like me because seniors just anyhow throw their points like 2000 while new students are only given 1000 points AND you must have at least a slight interest in the module.
What for take something that you won't like and know surely that you'll flunk it, ya?
Well, I can only pray hard that God will give me the modules that I want, according to His will too.
Lending a hand
This is the episode of lending a hand to the one in need.
You'll never need to bid to lend a hand to somebody. Thank God. If that happens, it'd be far too tired.
I always feel very honoured to lend a hand to someone in need and very satisfied too.
I always have the urge to help tourists spot some locations and bring them there.
God is good! He gave me a chance to help a granny cross the road on Monday.
(Hey, I'm not bluffing okie. I really help a granny to cross the road and she wanted to cross that road. She didn't accuse me of being too 'helpful'.)
I was on my way to meet Chuanyan at tampines and was in a rush. (I'm always very rushy anyway. Trying to change.)
Then this granny approached me and said some words in Hokkien. I was stunned for a moment and I couldn't hear clearly what she was saying.
She repeated again, then I understood.
She had difficulty walking because her right leg does not has enough strength.
So she was relying on me while she crossed the road.
I can sense her weariness and difficulty trying to walk for a only a short distance. Her arm that was relying on me was sweating.
Suddenly I had a urge to tell her the gospel. But she had already reached the place that she wanted to go and bid goodbye to me.
I could only smile and say goodbye.
Thinking back, I should have stop there and tell her more about Christ.
I'll pray for her.
=)

embracing the change
TWM = Tehilah Worship Ministry!
Today's TWM's gathering is really a refreshing time for me.
I used to procrastinate change and and I hate changing and adapting to the change. So whenever I get into a new school or place with nobody that I know, I will choose to escape or have negative feelings about it until I start to feel better with God's grace. Thus, when Renewal starts to change for the better, I too hope to have a change in my spiritual life too. But actually inside me, I resist change.
Today, during the worship, God spoke clearly to me that I need to embrace change and take actions to change my current situation and it will be a new fresh chapter of my life. I will take action to be more consistant in my quiet time with God, start my personal bible study time and learn how to have less of me and more of God.
Rev Chern prayed for me for the first time today too. It was a great time of ministering. I was very touched when he said something that answered my question to God and he also mentioned that I need to be more confident and have more faith. Indeed, that was what I need. I was crying badly when he said that the Holy Spirit is digging out the roots of my hurts in my family. I feel that I was crying like a child, like an innocent child wanting to be embraced by the Father. That was when he said that God wants to enbrace me and God love me. =) It was a good time between me and the Lord. Thank you, Huiyee for lending me your shoulder too. Heh heh, I think I really wet your clothes.
I am renewed! Embracing the change...

yuppie duppie yuppie
Mood: =)) Super duper happy!
Yuppie Duppie Yuppie...
Is it a dream?
I was trying to change my bid. Then I realise that I can drop the module and retake it again and they'll refund me the points! Woo! It solves my problem! Yeah! I even asked Chuanyan and she didn't know about this. Hee. And most of all, thank you God for making a way when there seems no way. =)
PooooTluck
We had a potluck gathering yesterday @ Chuanyan's place! It was filled with so much fun, laughter and FOOD of course!
The food was really nice!
Black pepper Porky chop - Chuanyan
Banana muffins - Sarah
Cheesecake & her new invention called "Mother-son comb" or something like that (actually it's frying egg with chicken dices and onion) nice! - Angeline
Old Chang Kee - Sihui, Esther & Raymond
Laska & Chui Quey - Zhenghua
Spaghetti - Me!
I wanna take the chance to thank Chuanyan for spending time with me explaining the process of bidding and answering all my doubts. It really helps me to understand bidding more and give me a better understanding of the system NUS is using. Thank you for your patience too. Hope that you enjoyed teaching me too. haha! I shall call you my personal bidding instructor!

Voice of Truth
I realise that I had become so panicky nowadays. I was checking my bidding status this morning and I accidentally mistook the the no. of bidders for the lowest bid points. So without thinking so much, (maybe because it's in the morning) I change my bid point from 10 to 310. But it was all too late when I realise! It was such a waste of points and I may not have enough points to bid for my psychology modules. Then I became so panicky and I was lost for a moment.
Then, out of a sudden, a song was playing at the back of my mind. Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns. Then I remembered God. I remembered the chorus.
Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
Then I began to pray and peace was flowing into my heart. I will trust in Him who will provide me all that I need.
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Then, out of a sudden, a song was playing at the back of my mind. Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns. Then I remembered God. I remembered the chorus.
Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
Then I began to pray and peace was flowing into my heart. I will trust in Him who will provide me all that I need.
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

平常心
带着一颗平常心来面对所有的事情。
我在想什么才是平常心呢？在网上看到平常心很多时候和佛教有关。对我来说，平常心不是一种想做就做的心态，而是无论发生什么事，都能够看得开。虽然事情发生了，但是却是能继续的向前走。不是对事情置之不理，不被影响，而是懂得如何地去以适当的心态面对。
我觉得上帝也要我学会以平常心去面对事情。当事情发生后，我能有情感，但是不被情感牵动着我去做傻事。反而是能够把所有情感交给上帝，让他帮助我们带着平常心继续地走他的道路。
这几天里其实我的情绪有很大的转变。起初一直为着NUS Fianancial Aid 的Tuition Fee Loan 来烦恼，让我很烦。后来又因为有了新的电脑而十分的高兴。可是过后就想了一下，is my emotions starting to overtake me?
当我为着这件事祷告的时候，神让我渐渐的有平安在我的心里，就算身边的变化有多大，我仍然可以投靠我的神，让他来帮助我带着一颗平常心来过日子。
