i have not had the chance to hear the belly button song, but

also- Andre is in thailand! let's keep him in prayer for safety esp and a closer walk with God amidst the potentially tough training.

have you heard of this? there's a gospel rally going on 11-14/9, 7.30pm at the Indoor Stadium.

ntu ppl, the speaker, Dr Stephen Tong, will be coming to ntu 29/8/08 7-9.30pm NTU LT1A North Spine (or so the website says)

nus ppl, he's coming 28/8/08 7-9.30pm NUS LT27 Science.

i believe in not a few of these sessions there are opportunities for q&a, especially the uni sessions (not sure for NTU, but it should be so.)

so let me know if anyone is going to the stadium events. yup :) we haven't prayed together for ages, i just realised.

narnian quote

"But please, please - won't you - can't you give me something that will cure Mother?" Up till then he had been looking at the Lion's great front feet and the huge claws on them; now, in his despair, he looked up at its face. What he saw surprised him as much as anything in his whole life. For the tawny face was bent down near his own and (wonder of wonders) great shining tears stood in the Lion's eyes. ..
"My son, my son," said Aslan. "I know. Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet. Let us be good to one another. ..."
~ C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew

to update: school has started, it's crazy busy, i haven't started on my ambitious half-day reading textbooks scheme yet, thus am slightly disheartened :/

on serious-er matters, i hope everyone will find this week good to live. Good to live to me is being happy because one knows God and His love and can be filled with wonder at Him. Wonder, i think that's it. Maybe one can wonder and yet not be happy--- it's knowing God, and knowing we belong to Him, that's what i mean.

p.s. the quote has not much to do with the content, but it has been buzzing about in my head recently

Its always great to see God glorified :D


1 Cor 1:27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

Dangerous thing, those men did. But it's touching :)

random thoughts on a cold summer morning

actually, it was quite hot a couple of days ago-- almost comparable to sgp.

while i'm sad to be leaving this place and not seeing bro for a long time (just hanging on to hope that things will change), i do see time has gone and it's the start of another school year again. and i know if i were studying here, somehow the idea i couldn't run out to imm or jurong point would be unacceptable to me. how can people emigrate? (nvm clem :b) one thing i've been thinking here is that life changes, friends change. how does that fit into a Christian understanding of things? all flesh is grass, but God and His Kingdom last forever..

on another note, can someone explain to me how come some people always enjoy their holidays and some never feel like they have had holidays?

When you think of God do you think of Love first? my senior pointed out in the Bible nothing is said so clearly but that God Is Love. Somehow i don't think that's the way i've been used to seeing Him. Maybe i just don't take His words to heart, and i think that's linked to thanksgivinglessness.

so ahead to a day of seeing He loves you and me.
