Lead me to lead them.
(:
Surrender before war. In Him alone is victory found.
His glory, no one else's!
Xiaoen, remember to pray.

Slain.
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
I grew up in a christian home. From young I've always sang about this 'Jesus' in sunday school. And praying to a God who listens to you was something natural that I never really thought much about.
And that's the danger of growing up in a christian home. With time, you assume yourself to be a christian. In primary school, when people asked about religion, I naturally answered them, "Christian". There wasn't much to doubt. It was, perhaps, habitual. Something that I assumed. And that's how it is for most of us. We assume our parents' faith, if any - be it buddhism or christianity - as our own. 'Cos that's the way we've always been brought up in. And everything becomes habitual and very much a part of our lives, from young.
Read this book a few years ago, about 'church kids' - and how many of us really understand the message of the gospel and make the faith our own. The danger of assumption and not truly questioning...
I think questioning's important. I don't question enough. I'm one of those who sponge up information like, well, a sponge. With not much internal processing. I listen. And seldom challenge stuff. I don't like presenting opinions. Unless they're things I feel strongly for or unless I have absolute confidence in something, like an area that I'm strong in - maybe leading stuff or planning events and stuff - otherwise I keep quiet. That's probably why my learning ability is severely impaired in class. There's not much internalising process and generating the info into my own knowledge.
Okay I lost my train of thoughts. But anyhow.
There was a period of time when I really trying to figure my way around stuff. It came with growing up I think. But I was really doubtful of everything. Religion takes a lot of faith. Christianity takes a lot a lot of faith. It's too... simple. It is a Man who died on the cross to pardon us of our sins, so that we may not need to endure punishment, but have eternal life in heaven in the future.
There's no pardoning based on merit or good deed or how you're like as a person. We're equal. It's just impossible to fathom how great someone's love can be for us, to go through atrocious capital torture and punishment. Forsaken by the Father, so that man need no longer be forsaken.
I think to people who hold no religion or who aren't christians, all of this just sounds really strange and silly. And all religious and... religious. But you've no idea how real it is to me, and to everyone else who does, and what strength and joy I draw when some things become very real in life. I'm thankful for my faith. Faith is very hard to fathom. But it is very real. Always get people asking me what kind of happy pill I take to be so retarded and cheerful all the time. My joy comes from the Lord. (:
It's difficult to understand something like this, but I just hope that you will take time to question too. Question the thing most unquestionable and unfathomable and go get some answers. Life. For me - for christians - life is more than this one life itself. It's more than that. It's worth thinking about, I think.
I am a Christian, a child of God (: Christ died on the cross for my sins. It's something that I'll try very hard to understand but will never ever fully truly get. He died for all of us.
He died for you, too. He's real.
Blessed Good Friday.

Owwwww.............
Aloha!
It has been really really crazy these few days/weeks, I am getting a little flustered and panic-ky. It is really incredible how people just seem to be able to manage everything AND still get enough sleep AND study AND do their tutorials AND follow in lessons. Everyone else seems so zen and totally in control I really wanna know how they do it man!
Training's been stepping up these past weeks. PT's... trying. The number 15 still scares the crap outta us. It used to be 15 minute sprint-jog interval. Now it's 15 min stairs. I hate the stairs! Really lousy at it. I think I'm not strong enough mentally. Sam's really cool when she's at it. Like, the fire really burns in her and you can see her on flames doing her thing man. Need that strength on court!! Saturday's training was quite bad at certain parts. Really allowed stuff to get the better of me. Could hear the teammates cheering on at the sideboards but it was really difficult and horrible to miss one shot after another. I really don't know what the problem is. Like, I really, really see the ball coming. And I think I've got it right on my blade but it misses completely. And I'm standing right in front of the goal! It's awful. Will train hard to get in the game. I want to put in goals for the team in A div! Every goal counts really really want to go in there and make some statement. A huge statement. Dark horses? Bring it on!! It's always more fun to see the underdogs win.
7 days left to get in the game. I'm excited. I'm scared, nonetheless. But I'm excited. 'Cos nobody's going in there alone. We've got the team, the teammates. And we've got Coach! Coach makes us do crazy stuff but they're for our good. He's an awfully awesome Coach. We're always lamenting the fact that he started training us so late. But better late than never anyway. And when we leave in the middle of the year, the juniors will be in good hands. J1 team's gonna be strong man. And N says they have better attitude than us. Meh. Hahaha.
Okay chow going off to do some work! Emcee audition today went quite okay! The guy remembered me. Pleasantly surprised. Really enjoy emceeing. It's fun. Hello if you're reading this please feel free to ask me to emcee your weddings in the future next time. I'll gladly eat free food too. Except the shark's fin. Don't serve shark's fin at your weddings. It's unethical.
Which reminds me - not that it's related but anyway - there's this walk-around-school-barefoot event on 26 May or smth in school! Looks cool. Saw the event on Facebook. Which is a very good platform to stalk people. But cannot be exploited to its full potential when you ain't got no account. But that's besides the point. Yeah. It looks quite cool man hahahaha. Barefoot walking around school. So homely! Hahahaha! They should get teachers to join in too. That'll be cool.
Okay I could go on ranting about absolutely random stuff but hahahaha adios.
Need to catch up with ten thousand people!

And before I forget,
Happy birthday, Cherynn Tan Xue Ying and Choo HuiEr (sorry I forgot 'bout yours yesterday (: ).
You guys are very, very special friends.
Just so you know (:
Have a great birthday and eighteenth year! (:
We're all growing up so fast we don't even know it.
But hey, here's to our friendship and attending-each-other's-weddings-next-time
(and probably spilling out all the secrets and stupid stuff from our days in NY...) (Hmmm...)
Sheng ri kuai le.
(:
Used this photo before but who cares.
(Okay. I admit. I couldn't find another one ._.) (Hehe.)
Let's go out soon! (:
You're stronger than you really think.
Keep. Holding. On.
Praying daily to surrender it all to Him - His strength sustains, definitely not my own!
Anyway, so many seem down and out recently. Cheerrrrrrup! (: You think you're alone in all your struggles and troubles and worries and horrible nonsense because everything in life just seems to be crashing down on you and screwing up and messed up...
You're not.
I guess everyone goes through his/her own private struggles and trials... and we all have our rough patches and tough times... And the inadequate feeling? Who hasn't felt it before. Ain't no matter how terrible you feel... like you're the undisputed champion of inadequacy.
Inadequacy. Hate that feeling. I don't think anyone can ever be completely inadequate... really. That's how I feel, at least. It's just... society.
Society defines you as a student - whether you are a straight A or complete, utter failure who cannot study. It defines you by your grades, your looks, your achievements, your merits, your qualities... it judges you by your weaknesses, your failures, your inadequacies.
Society's wrong. You're worth more than your definition.
The only definition that can stand every test of time is that we are human. Bound to fail, to sin, err, to fall, to lose, to underperform, to crumble and crash. And that's when the second part of the definition comes in. We are His children. Saved by an act of complete sacrifice when one Man died on that tree.
Thank God for... grace. And the strength and hope and belief and conviction that follow.
It's Friday (:
Dear all-of-you-who-really-could-do-with-a-little-boost-right now: You're loved (:

Things to thank God for (: April 11.
Shall post a series of 'Things to thank God for' (: Reminder of the little blessings He gives each day!
1. Two functional legs and a functional lung to run all the way from the college bus stop, past the college canteen, past left and right wings, up the slope, and down the terraces to make it in line just in time for the bell.
Made it just in time for morning assembly today! Thought there'd be no combined flag-raising 'cos the sky was overcast and blindly followed some J1s to the college side (what was I thinking ._.) when I could've walked straight to the terraces from the bus stop. Ended up having to runnnnnnnnn like some wayward student all the way to high school! Madness! But I made it! Met Chaoqun who was also frantically running towards high school. Rather amazed at how he'd managed to recognise me at the start of school. It's been years since Kuo Chuan days. Still, thank God for legs! I think floorball training's increased my running speed/endurance to run for buses (almost every morning) and stuff like this.

On that note too, the weather is a bit funny these days. Sometimes it pours, at other times it's crazy hot and humid! Ended up sweating like a sweating cow the entire morning!
2. Bearable Monday lessons! And friends who make 'em bearable!
Lit was craaaaaaaaazy today hahahahhaha. Was kinda fallin' asleep in the middle but the 'Swineherd' poem got the whole class all cracked up and mad. Mrs J didn't know whether to explode from laughter or exasperation too. 'Twas rather fun. Watched a video in Physical Geog! I think videos are really useful teaching tools. I think I'll want to show my students lots of videos next time, hahaha. They're interesting and they teach stuff that students understand and remember! And I think learning Geography is the most wonderful decision I've made in my schooling life. I like Geography.
3. Awesome seniors who are beyond awesome.
Thank God for Sarah and Nicole (and Chou) who come back to train the J1s! Seniors just have this special thing about 'em, y'know. They're just cool. I think this is applicable to most juniors. It's a cyclical thing. Juniors think their seniors are cool, and the seniors have seniors whom they think are cool too. Like a revolution that goes on and on and on... Anw, 'twas pretty cool with the whistle and all today. Made the training more... training-ish. Hah! Hope they're alive at their own night training right now... Anw I know you're seeing N - can't say this enough - but thanks again (: And stop acting like a junior everytime the juniors greet you guys.
4. Juniors who are new but are willing to learn and pick up skills and run their lungs out.
The J1 girls are rather nice; I do like them pretty much! Still have trouble remembering their names and settling all the admin nonsense though... But I think the junior team will integrate with time. A bit apprehensive about 'em coming to watch our first match but am actually quite overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and readiness to come down and support our first match. Looking forward to the senior-and-junior-team gathering after Nats! But yes. Hopefully they'll get together and team-mify with time and train hard for the team and for their batch's Nats next year in 2012. Wow.
Ookay, off to do work. Finally sorted out all the admin stuff to do just now. Really can't manage these administrative matters well. Thank God for teammates and juniors who can. Hah. And super efficiently and productively too, I must add!
Oh YF on Saturday was a really meaningful time of Bible study. Really appreciate the little slot of time every week for the group to come together and share about our week and prayer requests and just pray with and for each other. It really brings the group closer together and establishes real relationships within the group, where we can support one another in prayer. Prayer really is a most wonderful thing. The sunday school teachers came together on Sunday to pray together too. It was rather uplifting.
Here's to the dawn of another Terrible Tuesday! Just need to keep telling myself that once the Tuesday passes the week will get better... Training tomorrow! We're 2 weeks from the VJ match. Am rather excited about everything upcoming! Looking forward to training tomorrow. We're seeing marked improvements in terms of team play on court. We can do better!
Adieu.
Oh. Random cute puppy picture again! Look at this little fella!
And cute puppy pictures are a rather good way to end a post.

Dear sky,
Dear sky, please quickly finish raining so that the clouds can cheer up a little. And please bring the blue sky (a rainbow would be nice too) back when you're done! Thanks!
The sky is so gloomy and awful! I don't like it! ): Perfect weather to snuggle in a blanket and in bed. A cuppa hot chocolate would be ideal. With marshmallow and chocolate sauce.
But dear God, thank you for the rain. For life. Though it's really rather gloomy and sad, plus the rain gets in the way of things, but thank You for being in control of it all!
Maaaaan I want hot chocolate....

Captivate this heart of mine/ Till I do speaks of You.
As a sheep before the shearer
You were silent in Your pain;
You were silent in Your pain;
You endured humiliation
At the hands of those You’d made.
And as hell unleashed its fury
You were lifted on a tree,
Crying ‘Father God, forgive them,
Place their punishment on Me.’

Feel the wind in your face.
'Ve got stuff to post but 'm going off to sleeeeeeeeeeeep! Weekends are here! (:

Sunny days are here.
There's tons of work to do but I'm feeling kinda chirpy and sleepy. So there. HAHA.
Thank God for every day! No matter how tiring/ sleepy (I've been dozing off in soooooo many lessons...)/ exhausting, there's always something to thank God for every day (: Especially so for friends - classmates, teammates, church friends, old pals, teachers who care, family who cares - and for little things which really remind me that He is God and He is control.
Sometimes I really feel like my life is freaking screwed up and spiralling out of control. I think we all get days like that sometimes! But reading devotions and verses and passages really speak straight in the face sometimes, and suddenly things are put into perspective/ perspectives are changed.
Training has been intense man! I really feel so awkward and weak and inadequate at times. It's really crappy. And people keep thinking I am stronger than I really am! And I want to believe that too! But I really do let my mental get the better of me. And I really need to run so much faster and be so much stronger! *insert lion roaring here* *battle trumpets sound* On another note though, our team's growing closer and stronger and better. Love little moments and chats with teammates! Today's game was good. We put in three consecutive goals and I scored one! Shoooooooooosh the feeling of putting in a goal feels goooooooood! I seriously need to panic less and get better ball control so that I don't lose the ball in the most nonsensical moments! I hate it when the ball rolls past my blade or when the little girls shove me aside and ROB MY POSSESSION! *stomps foot*
ROAR!
Anyway! We're 18 days away from our first match! Training's gaining momentum. Really want to give VJ a run for their money! Run for their moneh... Fight hard for at least a draw! Our first match! ROAR! 18 days 18 days 18 days.
Tomorrow is Friday, Friday...
Friday's are crappy because we have 4-hour tutorial marathons... But tuesdays are worse! Tuesdays are horrible!
Wah the American idol on telly is disrupting my thoughts. Cannot post properly. Shoosh I really cannot multi-task! Today's cross-passing with two balls simultaneous was crazy! My passing went OOC! And I really need to work on passing! Relay passing was bad. Fatigue got the better of me. Sorry guys! And my blade is dying! Argh! Should I change blade or get a new stick! But I just changed my grip! I don't like the feeling of a thin thin dying blade because it feels really weird! And somehow the shots/passes are kinda affected!
Speaking of American idol, though, SCOTTY FOR THE WIN! *waves and nods approvingly and swoons and fangirls rather excitedly* But the judges are like, not judging. Argh. All three judges just seem to go with the screaming crowds and shower praise after praise after praise to every contestant. I bet Simon's sittin' on his couch at home watching the show on TV and shaking his head in utter disapproval! I miss Simon Cowell! Man. The show's just so different without him. Maybe they'll make him a surprise guest judge on the finals or smth! That'll be cool!
America's Next Top Model cycle 15's showing on Channel 5 later.
Okay off to do my work! Yay today's been a rather chirpy day! Thank God for Life (: And 2.4 and Math Consult! Rather accomplish-ing feeling. Oh oh oh! And I got a sticker for my Lit paper 5 Q1 essay! Hahahahahaha! Wah first time. Super awesome! On a sidenote, Lit paper 5 makes me think about and question about stuff. Like, maybe I'll just stay unmarried my whole life and not conform to patriarchal conventions and norms. The whole subversion of female stereotype thing you know. I do think I have an inner feminist. HAHAHA! Literature makes people think about stuff.
Got so much more to ramble on about but here's for now!
Keep. Praying.
Chowwwwwwwwwww.

Bruno Mars & Larry the Cucumber.
Went to youtube the song after hearing it with Jem and Lydia in the car on Thursday - Marry You by Bruno Mars - it's a really nice song, but... it's so wrong! There's so much perpetuating of all these values and messages in pop culture today... it's so sad.
It's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
...
I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So whatcha wanna do?
Let's just run girl.
If we wake up and you wanna break up that's cool.
No, I won't blame you;
It was fun girl.
Divorce should never, ever be an option. At all. Does Bruno think marriage is some game or what? Stupid stupid song! But it's a very listen-able song. Considering how I listen to songs without really taking in what the songs're actually singing. Bruno Mars is pretty good. But marriage seriously isn't a game.
I'm going back to Veggietales anyway... Silly songs with Larry <:) Here's a Veggietale song for yall! Larry the cucumber is hilarious oh man HAHAHAHA.

LISTEN TO THE SONG IT'S HILARIOUS :D VEGGIETALES IS AWESOME!
Oh wherrrrrrrrrrrrrrre is my hairbrush?
The weather has been acting up recently! It's so weird and hot and humid and hot and strange and rainy and weird. The sky looks like it's threatening to pour right now, but it's really warm and stuffy.
Anyway, the past while has been mainly school and training and other random stuff here and there. 23 days till A divisions! First match against VJC. The only match we can afford to lose, but the thought of possibly maybe winning them is really, really thrilling. Imagine if we win them!!! Wow. The boys have gotten their groupings too. Coach said that it's quite funny how life turns tables round sometimes. I agree. Hmm.
Oh the team pranked Coach yesterday. <:) Heh! We spent so long fussing about before training started. Quite fun. But the capt sorta spoiled the surprise and cut the pranks short and made everyone start warm-up drills properly... Yikes. But Coach was quite pleasantly surprised hahahahahaha. I think he thinks we're cute. We are. :D Love my teammates (: Some trainings are filled with these funny little moments that make us closer among ourselves and with Coach. Hah! And I think we're just pretty thoughtful la. All potential wonderful wives-to-be hahahahaha! And we always talk about us getting married next time and going to attend each others' weddings and lots of other nonsense. With people in their own bubbles saying the most random and nonsensical things at the strangest times and then everyone bursting into fits of laughter thereafter. Much fun :)
Coach got his revenge la. Whole team got owned. Except Tab and Yijie and I. *intellectual, beaming smile* Hahahahahahahaha! But it was a good one. Coach is goooooooood man. The sparkle and glint in his eyes gave it away tho! Hah! Eh but it was good. Wah the mood was really strange man HAHAHA. The whole team didn't dare to move. Tho Tab and I were laughing at the back. Dang someone should've video-ed that! But he gave us a water break after that hehe! *happy face* The chicken and tuna puff plus sushi must've played a bonus!
Anyway, Nationals are really coming round. It's a strange, butterfly-inducing sensation and feeling. There're a lot of thoughts that I'm keeping to myself, but we've less than one month to keep pushing through and get stronger. I really need to work on speed and stamina and technique and confidence! I know I'm dumping the ball and getting all pushed over on court but somehow it just becomes different once I get on! Darn... Needa quit dumping the ball all over the place! And work on shooting - why am I playing forward? - so that the ball hits the back of the net.
Back of net back of net back of net. Euphoria. Whistle blow. Come on come on come on!
'Ve been talking to some teammates recently too (: I like in-depth conversations! Very nice to talk to.
Okay going off for now! Veggietales is playing in my head now... HAHAHAHA. At least Friday's out of my head... It was playing the entire day yesterday... Oh and Council elections this coming week! All the best, Steph! (:
Chow.
Oh one more thing, haha. Mrs Jeffrey, yesterday - Xiaoen, why aren't you like this in class?
Ah well.
Have a grrrrrrrrreat weekend!
Anyway, the past while has been mainly school and training and other random stuff here and there. 23 days till A divisions! First match against VJC. The only match we can afford to lose, but the thought of possibly maybe winning them is really, really thrilling. Imagine if we win them!!! Wow. The boys have gotten their groupings too. Coach said that it's quite funny how life turns tables round sometimes. I agree. Hmm.
Oh the team pranked Coach yesterday. <:) Heh! We spent so long fussing about before training started. Quite fun. But the capt sorta spoiled the surprise and cut the pranks short and made everyone start warm-up drills properly... Yikes. But Coach was quite pleasantly surprised hahahahahaha. I think he thinks we're cute. We are. :D Love my teammates (: Some trainings are filled with these funny little moments that make us closer among ourselves and with Coach. Hah! And I think we're just pretty thoughtful la. All potential wonderful wives-to-be hahahahaha! And we always talk about us getting married next time and going to attend each others' weddings and lots of other nonsense. With people in their own bubbles saying the most random and nonsensical things at the strangest times and then everyone bursting into fits of laughter thereafter. Much fun :)
Coach got his revenge la. Whole team got owned. Except Tab and Yijie and I. *intellectual, beaming smile* Hahahahahahahaha! But it was a good one. Coach is goooooooood man. The sparkle and glint in his eyes gave it away tho! Hah! Eh but it was good. Wah the mood was really strange man HAHAHA. The whole team didn't dare to move. Tho Tab and I were laughing at the back. Dang someone should've video-ed that! But he gave us a water break after that hehe! *happy face* The chicken and tuna puff plus sushi must've played a bonus!
