HELLO DEAR CELL. I regret to inform you that ALOHA has been completely booked up.
Therefore. Nowhere else is economical for us to stay in. (i know what you're thinking Camy *no stay over*)

DANIEL HALL! - i hear collective gasps-sorry ah i forgot to tell everyone during cell just now. LOL. completely slipped my mind. anyway if u guys dont want daniel hall and know of any other bungalows or something, PLEASE TELL ME OR SARAH... dont bother camy right now la cos she's really busy with school work. i think.anyway camy, thanks for the t t-shirt design! nice!!! we should go to print soon... i can try other printing companies, they may do for us.. abt abt like 10 or 15 a person =xkk! that's all for now! Do remember to keep sarah in prayer, as Gerri had blogged that entry, and as Nelle had mentioned just now during cell.God bless, sistas!
Horight.sorry that i've been mia for so long, especially to poor amanda who has been trying to find accommodation (could it be because my sub-conscious tells me i refuse to stayover?) *hehehe*.. anyway i really look forward spending time with us, the T people lah. bottomline is i just hate losing sleep and good baths. anyway, i've been thinking of a few T things..1. T T-shirt design
2. Our cell group's very own line of clothing
yea lets not forget dat our dear spiritual mother is gg 4 the encounter to be a guide. sarah we will keep u in prayer.. despite the fact dat u totally ve no idea abt the gals lives.. god will use you yah. bless you wif god's anointing power.. to be connected wif the holy spirit :))
btw i ve e song lyrics [come holy spirit]. if u need can tell me. in the meantime im stepping out in faith and confident to invite friends to svc yaaa
hey all,
i've decided, i'll be either booking
Cranwell Bungalow 1 or
Changi Seaview Chalet (Open Veranda) k it's aloha changi once again.
hey girls
i've decided to make the final call. we WILL DECIDE ON ALOHA. coz i find that we are takin too much time to decide and.. we are delaying.. den we may not be able to book the place. so the best thing for amanda to do now is to go book aloha. but pls book a beta looking one lah. hahaha. tell me b4 hand which one u are gg to book k? ok everyone? hope everyone is ok with it. coz i tink we shld not take too long to decide.
SO CONFIRM
venue: aloha changi
date: 16 - 18 june ( fri - sun)
so amanda, pls go make the bookings.
hmm, i dunno if camy will read this. but i juz happen to rmb.. can i have the soft copy of the song "come holy spirit " the one we sang at g12 conference ar. i aint too sure of the title..
ok till den.. i gotta head back to work. haven had the time to breathe properly this wk. hectic is juz an understatement.. gotta go for now : )
-sarah-
hoi you all!!
go take a look at aloha website! u all prefer the aloha changi or aloha loyang (pasir ris)?
and it's really quite ex la cos it's like super peak period (school holidays) so the prices vary. i'm sure we all wanna have beds right so i reckon we go for the middle one. but right, those are abt 100-150 per night, for civil servants even..
u all take a look cos for each location there are the different types of bungalows.. PLEASE look...
i've to book soon so that we dont have to worry..
The Blood of Jesus reminds the Devil,
that the price for your life,
has already been paid for....
while the way of logic is wide and easy with many options,
the way of faith is narrow,
with NO other alternative.
it is the ONE WAY of
TOTAL DEPENDANCE
on God.

anyone has membership for aloha?
the rates are pretty expensive for aloha.. and i heard from you all that it's not very safe right?
btw... went to check up on safra.. there are no resorts or rooms to book. HAHAHA.
Nelle which was it that u have membership for? let me know?
DO you all want NTUC chalet at Downtown East? gosh but they're really a lil small -.-
and quite dirty and stuff.. see what u all want..
i came across this christian bk. PRAYERS THAT OUTWIT THE ENEMY! it mentioned abt [making god's word your first line of defense].. are you one who does dat?? are you prepared for the warfare ahead? we do not have to make a conscious decision to engage the enemy before we find ourselves in warfare. e bk says a wise christian will look at the warfare and ask if he or she is truly prepared to move forward in the fight. there are many warfare battles ard us in every single min.
but dont be timid or hesitant. PRESS ON. scripture says that we are more than conquerors through christ.. AMEN! :D
heyhey actually i ve got lots to type abt my life, family and everything. like i said b4 i can be transparent at times juz dat due to time constraint we cant share our detailed life during cell.yea u noe i kinda lazy to type everything down HAHA. well im trying to though. but 4 now.. im chaoing le la......... bye. will be back soon HAHAHA
yea.. T word..
i just found out, i never really knew how to appreciate God's love and favour on me.
it was all just words and feelings, like what sarah said during cell today.. and i feel so overwhelmed.. to love God isnt a feeling, but it goes deeper than that? what exactly is it to love God?
i never really knew. I could confidently tell people that i love God and He's the only one i'll ever worship. i really wouldnt. but aside from all that, did i really love God? did i love people for God's sake? did i love Him for the sake of people and their affectionS? if i love God, is He the centre of my life? is He the NUMBER ONE in everything i THINK and DO? i'm reallly really thinking now. i feel so.. ashamed of myself.
i really dont know how to appreciate what God has given to me. I know it's always God.. yet i still have to convince myself sometimes, and discipline myself to thank God FIRST everytime something good happens. and i've to convince myself that everytime something bad happens, i've to thank God too because i know that He has His reason. but am i just thanking God because it's the CORRECT thing to do? i dunno.
i'm so confused. i never really shared with anyone. and i never really bothered to reflect that upon myself. but just the thought and the words that come to me when i hear that i'm not loving God because it's just words and feelings.. i feel so.. ......
how to love God? as in, how and what can i do to love God?
i thought that lately i've been drawing closer to God because i talk to Him very frequently and i've overcome really by faith sins and habits that were difficult to kick off. but i did it.
am i drawing closer to God?
and for the first time.. i feel so shallow. why do i feel so shallow suddenly?
THANK GOD FOR CC RESULTS!!BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS..TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!thanks to all who prayed for us..nandrii..
FOR YOUR INFO,
i'll be doing the sai gang for the people who dont have the time to plan for cell retreat at the moment!
so if anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, do let me know okay! I'll be checking up on dates, i hope that we'll be able to
BOOK A PLACE AND CONFIRMED DATE by the end of the G12 conference!
soooo, all suggestions please throw at me, we havent REALLY decided a place, i'll be looking up places like aloha changi, uh see whether east coast park has any place available, maybe pasir ris, or sentosa. depends la. i think i'll be checking up orchid country club or something also.. uh regarding this orchid thing, tell me the proper name hor camy or nelle, in case i'm wrong.
just to refresh your minds, the tentative date IS: 16, 17, 18 JUNE. and on 18th June, it's a sunday. and i know we all have service to go to, but again, depending on the venue of our stay, we'll decide again whether to attend service or not.
MINDY AND GIRLS STILL IN PL: do contact those like suying, eve and qian shi or whoever else right, then let them know abt the cell retreat and ask if they have suggestions..
lastly, if you all have other places in mind, LET ME KNOW ASAP K!
oh yaaaa. I forgot to say.. sarah you know those verses u typed out from chapter 1 that u said striked u a lot? they striked me too..

I hereby appoint Mak Li Shan Janelle to be the accommodation i/c for cell retreat June 2006. All lodging arrangements shall be planned, coordinated and settled by her. Failure to comply will lead to disciplinary consequences.
How to tame your students: use a whip.Despite all of its negative outcomes, corporal punishment does have some advantages.
One advantage is the student perceives the event as unpleasant; however, this advantage does have limitations. Another positive is corporal punishment
can be administered quickly and be over with quickly, and it is a
very clear, specific and obvious consequence (Vockell, 1991).
i spent my week getting tests results back..I FLUNKED MY PHYSICS..but i am not in the least upset..i passed all the other subjects..THANK GOD..hahax..but that's not the thing i am relieved about..yupxx..shant tell you all..hahax..nanny nanny poo poo..

taming ur tonguejames 3: 6-11the tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. it corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. with the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers ( sisters), this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?"hellooo. how has the week been for u girls. its thursday today and i'm amazed at how the week juz flew by. as i go thru my practicum this time round, there's an upspoken stress that i build upon myself + the expectations of my nie supervisor and teachers in school. and the amount of work is never ending. not really complaining abt the workload, coz it is something i gotta get use to.. and wellz, more to come when i'm a full fledge teacher. but as i teacher. i felt pressurized, coz my students are also pressurized to perform well. it is the system. and its getting into me. haha. our students are like dead learners. who absorbs when told. and its sad. coz there's no real joy in learning. and somehow it killed some of their interest in school. but wellz. i feel torn apart. havin to ensure student's interst in the subject, yet perform well at the same time. hmm. tricky. but schools been good i guess. been trying to tame my students. haha. class management. it goes mad after recess coz of the bad weather. it gets ppl lethargic.. even me. i miss air-con classes. haha. izzit very boring coz i'm only talking abt school. but this is my life. haha. bo bian. anywayz, i gotta continue marking my compo. its killing, coz of their language and lack of interesting storylines. a trip to the zoo. haha. oh wellz.. once i marked a worksheet, forming sentences.. "the gorilla is ugly because it is ugly and it is ugly". i juz underlined and put a big cross. .. " the gorilla is ugly and stupid"i dunno wad kids this days are thinking. but.. yeah, neighbourhood school. tho its tough teaching this kids.. but they are the ones that bring warmth to u. their simplicity is treasured. heh. ok tha's all for my story telling. ; )the wkend is about to COME!!!!!!!!
HELLO~~
since we're having a chalet.. hehe
ANYONE HAS MAHJONG!!!
hi all!
sorry for suddenly bombing u all with smses that day asking for ur schedule in june! i know...how many of us actually know our schedule in JUNE when its only feb right..
cos i was swimming at NSSR(national service resort) at changi that day when i saw their bungalows...and they were REALLY VERY NICE. like huge, next to the beach and olympic size swimming pool(i can just sense the excitement brewing up in camy).
its quite grand la there since its new and stuff...looks like bintan resorts hahaha...bintan lagoon resort, maybe you own them wina you might want to check.
then my mom said they were having some promo for the bungalows in june but are like being snapped up la. so thats why i suddenly thought of the cell retreat thing then msg you all....
but too bad..that weekend all taken up liao..
anyway
I AM NOT IN CHARGE OF THIS CELL RETREAT THING AH!!im just being nice and proactive, cos i realize that tiff is in charge and im scared of the prospect of us ending up sitting around my house roasting marshmallows since to book a chalet in a weekend in JUNE is like SUPER peak period la..
if we dont hurry book it we will ultimately end up sitting around roasting marshmallows and wishing we had booked the chalet earlier.
so dont put me in charge ah!
im just INITIATING....
anyway the aloha thing is quite nice too...tho dont have pool.
but we can do things like eating..playing captain's ball...vigorous exercises...5am jogs led by camy...3-hour long prayer and intercession at 1am...
fun stuff like that..
so i guess we will confirm by this weekend la..nessa try to maybe go for one day or smth la..when u see how fun it will be u confirm want to stay one. surely.
so the ones who are in charge please take it from here..
no no need to thank me...just a bowl of fake shark's fin soup will do.
anyway something else to share.
i am doing this course called theory and analysis in sociology which is supposedly the HARDEST social science courses EVAR...and it is la.
i have not been able to understand A SINGLE THING since lessons started.
its on things like karl marx, max weber, emile durkheim etc SUPER cheem and their writings like macham english but not english kind..ya know?
anyway my exam was today and i was SO SURE i was going to do very badly.
was like prepared to "sacrifice" this entire course cos it was really hard la.
but during my preparation the night before (11th hour as usual), i went through my stack of readings once again just to humor myself cos i know i still wouldnt be able to understand them...but this time i COULD
like suddenly as a read i absorbed and processed almost EVERYTHING!
like many many enlightenments one after another....felt shiok man!(ok nerdnerd)
and today's exam went well...and it was quite effortless la!
i was shocked man...i rewarded myself with subway after the paper on my way home and i realized that this is such a clear example that really with God NOTHING is impossible...
when my results come back i shall testify haha.
it TRUELY help from God la..i will never be able to do this on my own.
even my friends were amazed that i could understand and explain the crazy concepts that were otherwise foreign to all of us in this crazy course.
so even as you study for ur papers, or wait for results and placements in JCs..
dont immediately think of the worst and give up.
in the natural we definatly cannot make it one.
but when we draw from the SUPERNATURAL, the possibilities are endless!
