Music






Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
toward home, a land that i've never seen
I am changing, less and less asleep
made of different stuff than when i began
and i have sensed it all along
fast approaching is the day



when the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
when the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you



Theres distraction buzzing in my head
saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
but I've heard rumours of true reality
whispers of a well-lit way



You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things
You make all things



When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you

I don't like the feeling. It feels as if I owe people something. oh well.

oops. I'm down with cough, flu, running nose(is it the same as flu?) and a bit of tiredness.(YAY! That's great!) Actually I feel kinda terrible because of my running nose. :/

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

ARGH! I'm really an impatient person and a person who always procrastinate! Totally hate my complaining attitude towards things. You know sometimes I'll complain for the slightest thing and thus pull a very long face. Why can't I just turn my complaining attitude to a thanksgiving heart?


haha. Today the three of us(Madeline, Husna and I) had our java project meeting and guess what? We don't know anything on how to do the user interface! I'm a bit worried for our java project because it seems that all of us don't know what and how to do. But, NO WORRIES! Let's believe in ourselves that we can do it! oops. It sounds like some motivational talk. LOL.

Well, we had fun today too! We talked, laughed and joked! Anyway, I'm sorry Madeline that I hit your ______. HAHA! I didn't do it on purpose man! YOU LA! Keep using my name when you talk in msn. haha! oh ya. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR LIAO!(Jelly - Madeline calls him that for don't know what reason!)

I guess I need to get some rest now. My nose is going haywire now. It is running!

Heart's cry.

God, I want to experience you like how others are experiencing you. I can't stand it! I can't stand it when I hear or see people experiencing you to the fullest yet I'm not. I don't want to live on other people's faith. I want to experience you in such a deep measure that it was as if I was having some lunch or coffee with you.

I know that you're definitely real in my life. There's so many incidents that I can't deny that you're not working in my life. But today I just ask for more! More of your presence in my life! I don't want others to tell me that you're real, you're a God of impossible or you can do miracles because I want to truly experience it myself!

Nothing really beats than you experiencing yourself because I believe that there's power in it. Yes, lord! In this coming new year, ALL I want is more of you in my life and less of me. Indeed, you must be greater in me o lord; let all the rest fade away. The coming 2008 will be a different year!

Use me, stretch me to love as I tap upon your wisdom and strength. I'm not contented. I'm not contented of having this much of your presence. I'm not contented to know who you really are from others. I'm not contented to let other people to tell me that you love me. God, there must be more than this.

More than what I've experienced before. DEEPER DEEPER. It must be deeper. I'M NOT CONTENTED OF KNOWING YOU FROM FAR because I know that you're a God who is never near. Lord, help my friends around me to experience you in a greater and deeper measure too. Cause them to realise that there must be more than this.

A simple prayer I made today.

You're Faithful
He is faithful to his promises
He is faithful to his love
He is faithful to each and individual one of us
Above all, he is faithful to complete the noble task that totally changed the destiny of mankind - to die on the cross for us.
YES, FOR YOU TOO!

The christmas service yesterday was really amazing! Even though, I don't really understand the drama(haha, a bit don't know what was going on), I still think that the drama team for the christmas service has put in their hardwork! So, applause please! haha. :D

But what touched me the most was when people flipped their cards on the stage. Behind all those cards were lives being transformed by God! I know some of them quite well so I can really say that their lives have really changed for the better. During worship, I was reminded that hey, God has changed me as well.

From that ill-mannered, negative, insecure, gossipy and a person who has no purpose in life to that person who is mature, secure in Christ and whom has found a purpose in life! All these, I just want to sincerely say THANK YOU JESUS! I'm who I'm and where I'm today all because of you. Of course, there are still areas that I need to grow and change in. That is when that I need to rely on his strength!

Ad midst the uncertainty of my future, one thing I know for sure is that his plan for me will never ever change! It's just like how he brought me to this course. I never even thought that I'll be in a IT-related course. SERIOUS! ALL my secondary school friends will agree with that. I'M SUCH AN IT NERD! But I'm really glad that I'm enjoying my course now because I can take business and at the same time learn more on IT which is essential when I work next time.

And Meiqi came yesterday too! Thank you so much for coming! God, touch her heart in the way you want it to be. I believe in your timing. In your timing, lord! :D And thank you Elmo for the short sharing with her! So, after lunch in suntec city, most of the NYP people went to raffles city's B&J! I LOVE B&J! But I love yami yogurt more. That's for sure.

And I'm uber excited to swim, run and the christmas party next week! argh. I need to be more disciplined to study man. oh ya. Thomas haven't send me the pictures taken yesterday so pictures next time!

Au revoir! (Bye Bye in french >.<)

This week has been a shopping week for me. I went to shop with different group of friends for two consecutive days! (Thurs and Fri) Thursday was shopping session with Michelle. Before Thursday I was telling both Melissa and Michelle that I want to shop till I drop because of the many sales that are going on.

In the end, I didn't really buy anything because there wasn't any clothes that caught my eye. Except for one very nice green t-shirt that I bought in bugis. I really like the shirt because it is not that kind that everyone wear on the street. Sometimes I don't really like to buy clothes in bugis because it is so common.

Even before you know it, you'll see lots of people wearing the same design on the street or even in school. haha. That's why I like the shirt that I bought because it is limited edition! What's more it is not very expensive considered that fact that the quality of the shirt is good and the colour of it is cool.

And the brand is - Give me back my Sunday! Not so much about the brand(like duh! this brand is not very popular too), but the quality and the design! Anyway, I bought from them once earlier this year and some of my friends who saw it said is nice! same sentiments. :D

okay back to talk about the shopping spree. haha. I thought that I'll buy more stuffs than Michelle. But it ended up that Michelle bought more stuffs than me. Half-way through Melissa came to join us and she bought a dress! I was quite tempted to buy a dress! Can you believe that? haha.

Maybe that's because both of them kept persuading me to try it on and perhaps buy a dress. haha. I guess I'll shop for a dress for Chinese new year. but on the other hand, I don't know how will I look like because I haven't been wearing a dress since primary school. YES, that's how long. :/


Melissa, Michelle and me!


I seriously don't know how to smile. :/


at least I smiled. haha!


I'm forever taking with Melissa. lol.


I tried to trick them to smile widely but I didn't take their faces. but don't you think that it looks rather nice?


finally, a picture!


YAY!

And for Friday, I went to skinny jeans centre with peixian after our consultation with Ms Ng. man, Ms Ng really rocks! She's really patient and approachable! THANK YOU MS NG! ohya. I was saying we went to skinny jeans centre because peixian wanted to get a few pairs of skinny jeans and I wanted to get a light grey one.

But, sad to say that DON'T HAVE MY SIZE! Its either to small or too big for me. Its okay. It doesn't always happen! I'll go back next time to buy. :D Anyway, I think I need to learn from peixian. She's really smart. She checked the quality of the skinny jeans that she is intending to buy super meticulously.

That's good because she found one stain on a white skinny! Next time, I should also check the stuffs that I want to buy carefully man. haha. Anyway, Christmas service was really fantastic today! BUT.. It's getting late. So, I shall blog about it tomorrow.

Have a good rest everyone! WE'RE ALL ALIVE AND KICKING!

wheee. I had an great day today because this is the only day of the whole week(Mon to Fri) that I don't need to go back to school for projects! I kind of like it because I can just take a rest and just take time to listen to God. These days I like to stay at home, maybe because its a place where I can really have a peace of mind. Especially when it is in the afternoon!

YAY! she trust me! I don't know why but I'm over the moon when people say that they trust me. Maybe that's because the society is cultivating a culture that says don't trust people. To me, I don't see the need to doubt. Can't we just simply believe? Yes, it is true that there's a possibility that when you trust that someone, you may be let down but hello if that's the case, the issue don't lies with you but with that person.

ohya. Sometimes I'll go, "really ah? or "really meh?" when someone tells me something. That doesn't mean that I don't trust but I guess it has became a habit from don't know since when. Whenever people say something I'll say that. haha.

Now, I finally know the power of trusting people.

Anyway, I went to a guitar shop near dhoby ghaut with Job today. oh yeah. The guitars in the guitar shop are uber nice but at the same time expensive. most of the guitars there cost about 1,000 -_____ plus. I choose not to reveal the range of the guitar prices because I bet you'll go wahhhh wowwwwww HUHHHHH.

haha. And I got to know a super good guitar brand - Taylor! The guitar sound, strings, wood they used is simply superb! it really sounds good. I've been mentioning to some people that I'm considering changing my acoustic guitar to plucked in acoustic. :D I'm intending to sell my current guitar to some second shop for a Taylor guitar.

Should I buy or should I not? As you know, normally good guitars are owned by people who are really good in their guitar skills. I'm not considered good at all. there's so much to learn! So, should I buy such a good guitar? But come to think of it, it'll be a good invest, isn't it? You know I rather buy a good guitar and use it forever than to buy a guitar not as good, ending up using only for a few months.

Or maybe I should just give it to my brother since he's learning now as well. haha. Well, we'll see if he wants it or not. oh. And I just went to the Taylor website to take a look at the overview of the various guitars. Something really exciting - I found the guitar that I'm eyeing for. wheeee. YAY!

Taylor series DN3





Nice right? whoooo. Should I? haha. Even if I'm buying, it won't be now because I need some time to save up. okay, NOW I SHOULDN'T SPEND TOO MUCH ON FOOD! ohya. Thank you Yihui and Job for teaching me guitar! much appreciated! :D

Okay, today morning was happening because our management project group had an interview with a manager. The funny thing was that we were quite tensed up before that (maybe only me. lol.) because we don't really know the manager that well. hey but you know what! I just want to really thank God that we found a manager because the previous manager I approached couldn't make it in the end.

So, I've only left with one day to find another manager. I was quite worried on that day because I really thought that the manager will be able to make it for the interview but sadly, in the end he couldn't because of some matters that he had to attend to. Actually I wanted to tell my group members about it but I couldn't bring myself to break the news to them.

I don't want to dampen their moods because I was the one who was so super confident that the manager will be able to make it. In the end, I called khok yen and his manager agreed to the interview. Overjoyed when I heard this because it is really amazing that I've found a manager within a day. It is even almost impossible to find a manager who is so willing.

And today during the interview, he tackled the questions that were posed to him with wisdom. I was rather shocked by the way he answers those questions. I was expecting some ten-year series answers. So, I'm really elated that we're halfway throught the management project.

Anyway, thank you sharon, huizhen, guodong and jason for giving your best! I believe everything will work out if we continue to give our best. :D EVERYONE in the group is a leader.

argh. I still feel burdened and broken! I guess it still hurts. GOD, HEAL ME!

Holidays. holidays? nah, for the first week of the holidays, I'll be going back to school to do my projects. projects projects projects. when will it ever end? haha. but I'm still glad that at least for the java project, our group sort of have a clearer and better picture of what do we need to do. right?

initially I was quite worried for the project. because firstly, my java ain't good at ALL. secondly, I really don't know what to do for the java coding. and lastly, I really really feel quite stressed up because Ms Tay kept reminding us that the project will be dued on week 14.

but still, I really want to thank Ms Tay for her guidance and her help. I stayed back today to do the database for the project and Ms Tay is really kind and patient! when I don't understand certain things, she'll always patiently explain and guide me along. and because of that, I finally know what am I doing! :D

argh. I don't like those days when there's grouping of project team mates. because I know there's bound to be unhappiness and conflicts. to say the truth, I would rather that the teacher arrange the group than he allowing us to decide. I feel really burdened! I really don't know what to do.


God, you're the only one who knows how am I feeling right now. heal me lord! sorry that I've disappoint you time and time again. I'm sorry that I ________. its so true that life is not easy. I've just experienced what it means in this simple yet true saying. but I want to walk with you closely at every stage of my life because I know that nothing will be too difficult when my God and I overcome it together.

and hey these are not empty words! because I truly desire.
vessel of blessing. I want!

haha. I fell down in school today again! it is already the second time that I actually fall down in school! and guess how did it happen? okay, it started when I was feeling quite bored while Madeline and I was on our way to the lecture hall for our lecture. and so I, feeling so super bored decided to pose a challenge to MADELINE ANG. HAHA.

"let's see who will be the first to reach the lecture hall. the winner will have to treat the loser to a drink." man, I think we're really insane. we ran so fast just for a drink. and because I ran too fast, my slippers flew and it tripped me. and my bag flew forward. it was super embarrassing because the incident happened just in front of the printing shop.

what's more the printing shop was having a long queue. so a lot of people saw it! and both Madeline and I was laughing like nobody's business. really funny! okay, I think I'm really childish sometimes to have thought of doing this type of random stuff. haha.

anyway, I'm going to declare out loud that from this week onwards, I'm going to train for next year's standard chartered marathon. haha. I know it's a bit too fast because the event has just ended last week. but I'm determined to want to challenge myself physically! ohya. in case you've mistaken, we're going for the 10km race and not the 42.1km.

actually I wanted to challenge the 42.1km race but shareen reminded me that it's not easy. easier said than done. that's so true. sometimes we feel or think that we'll definitely be able to complete something, but in the end we can't because some things may seemed and looked easy peasy to us but in fact it is not as easy as what we think.

I've lost all my stamina ever since primary school. believe me! I was a runner when I was in primary school. but ever since I stop training, I lost all my stamina. no matter what, I'm going to make it with perseverance and God's help! and I've found a partner to train with me. she's none other than shareen! haha.

having her as my partner is the best thing because she'll definitely ensure that I'll commit myself to train. she has already warned me to not give up half way through. well, I think with her around I'll be too scare to even give up. just kidding shareen. lol. oh ya. anyone want to join? we'll welcome you! :D but remember it is more than a mind game. we need to train to sustain in the race.

whooohooo! I'm super excited for the youth 10Th anniversary celebration tomorrow! it is really like a reunion for many of us. we haven't been updating our lives with one another and this is such a good chance. I really MISS THEM A LOT! and also be reminded of God's faithfulness and protection over these years.


10th anniversary T-shirt!

teach me how to love people. teach me how to love my mummy, my daddy, my brother, my friends and everyone whom I know. sometimes I really don't know how to. but lord, teach me. because only you can.

I'm sorry that sometimes I don't even know what am I doing. why did I shout at my mum and dad! why did I judge people! come on. do I even have the rights to judge people. NO, I don't. I'm just someone who is as filthy as a rag. but it is him who set me free. teach me teach me teach me! I truly want to be a blessing to the people around me.

you know sometimes we may wonder why people treat me this way or why things just don't turn out the way that we want. more often than not, we'll think that these situations should change for our sake. but the truth is that whether we like it or not, situations will not change. tough and trying situations will always be there and it is always up to us whether we want to allow the situations to take over us.

in fact, I feel that many a time it is not the situations that should be changed. it is US. and I just feel that when we dislike some things and think that that particular situation should change, shouldn't we ourselves reflect and come to a conclusion that maybe it is not the situation that should change but we're the ones who should change?

don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that in every situation that we're going through, we're always the one who should change. but what I mean is in every trying situation, reflect and ponder upon it. because maybe it is us. don't expect situations to change because they will disappoint you.

they're always there and will not change just because we feel that it should. I've realised that in my life whenever I'm faced with difficult situations, I'll tend to complain and blame the whole world and not asking myself that maybe it is me? but I've learnt. I've learnt to always ask that question.
maybe it's me?

that's the reason for frustration

A Love Letter That I Once Wrote

super glad that I invested on something cool! I bought a book yesterday!(drawing near) wheeee. Jacqueline and I each bought a book from hope store yesterday. actually it was quite random because we didn't plan to buy any book. but still, we bought it anyway. I'm going to really commit myself to read this book faithfully. well. I guess only then will I be able to reap much out from it.


okay, I'm gonna say something that happened yesterday which was quite embarrassing. haha. I RECEIVED THE LETTER THAT I WROTE DURING THE YOUTH CAMP TWO YEARS AGO LA! if I'm not wrong, two years ago it was some sort of youth anniversary too and we were supposed to write a love letter to God and receive it two years later.

ohmytian! I'm uber embarrassed la. all thanks to Celestine who read out the letter so loud. and they were all laughing at my English man. okay, I know that my English is super lousy back then. maybe even till now it is still not that fantastic. I KNOW I KNOW! haha. because Mrs tey has been reminding and telling me that my English is very lousy when I was in sec three and four. she reminded me for two years can.

but its quite true that it is really funny to read a letter that you once wrote a few years back. some things that I wrote were quite childish and lame. HAHAHA. in some sense, I did laugh at myself too. and I can never deny that these two years has been a tough one for me. ad midst of problems and difficulties, I'm still glad that in some way I'm able to overcome those situations and not let the situations overcome me. :D

anyway, DAWNQUEK! you're finally back. OEI. share to me what you've done in Cambodia man. don't act DAO lei. oh. hv you recovered from your fever? you're always sick la. :/
