superwoman not!


I've been feeling quite down the past half of for the past few days. I really want to shine for God (in love, in patience, in kindness...) and put complete trust in Him but when I feel the workload heavily upon my shoulders, my human nature takes over. There's a self-conflct within me. I feel quite discouraged as well. I feel like I'm not cut-out in a lot of areas. I need God's eternal encouragement telling me he believes in me. I wanna be someone people can be proud of :( keep me in prayer please.


january is coming to an end (: was flipping through my scheduler yesterday. and i could see the numerous projects, presentations and reports that our class has done. loads of makeup lessons too! and many many other things.

my younger sister gave me this! and i think its gooood for an advertisement like that! (:



i cant juggle all this on my own, but im thankful that i've got a God who is my strength and my rock (: He guided me through this month! though there were ups and downs along the way, but God still sustains.


Thank you, Lord,
for the trials that come my way.
In that way I can grow each day
And thank you, Lord,
for the patience those trials bring.
In that process of growing,
I can learn to care.

headed down to chinatown today after school (: was rather crowded and super HOT! but still i enjoyed myself. i thought it will be nice to get the chinese-new-year kind of mood. somehow seeing people come and go, really amazes me on the fact that God is a creator of heaven and earth, inculding the sun and stars in the night. remember HELLO SUNSHINE! (: (: (:

this whole week i havent been feeling like im a good friend and sister. i want to but fail the expectations of people and myself :( i dont know why too. but i was reminded about this lovely song that has encouraged many people! God knows are my disappointments, struggles and desires. Dear Lord more of you and less of me. help me to be a good friend, help me to relate.

Show Me How To Live

Day after day
I know You're talking to me
Your Word speaks louder than this World
And when I prayYour Spirit overwhelms me
Reveals the things that I must know

Show me how to live
Teach how to pray
Let all I think and say please You Lord

Show me how to live
Teach me in your ways
So I can walk with You all my days

Your Word speaks louder than this
Your Word speaks louder than this
Your Word speaks louder than this world

i really really enjoyed myself today! and was really glad that they are my classmates (:
in the laughter and all, i realise projects arent that bad which i thank God for that! it could be fun with the right company :D

at the end of the day, we were all tired and weary. but still, there is a need for jumps for joy! (:

You breathed into my world
And gave me life
You are placed above all that I love
I live to praise you God
----------------------------------------------------


Many things have been going through my mind and have been happening but i havent had the time to journal them down.


yesterday had prayer meeting and sltc. sltc was the last meeting. and what caught my attention was the sharing of what we have learnt through out the whole sltc. it refreshes our mind in those things that had gone through (: and it amazes me in which pastor shared. on how Jesus came and meet the felt needs of his disciples. the process might be tough, but Jesus carried on and sacrifices his time and unending love to them. isnt it really touching :D

today had powerstation in church, this time was different. cause kahyuen was with me! (: i thought that God is a faithful God who keeps us through to the end. after service, i felt really bad as to not accompanying cass and company to the chalet and all. yaaa. sorry :((


The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom i take refuge in.
Psalm 18:2

100% Man 100% God



projects and tests are streaming in. and I felt like the boat of mine hit an iceberg. not a really huge iceberg, but enough to make me feel intimidated and feel as if i was crashing. Lousiness went deep into my heart. when all I saw in myself were faults, inadequacies and thoughts of not being able to handle the various tasks and assignment. In many of those moments I allowed the lies of Satan to be thrown hard at me.

I was in vulnerability that I allowed Satan to have a foothold on other issues I was facing. I could recall how much I didn't want to go to church due to unfinished homework and unstudied tests. But God didn't let go of me when all I wanted to do was escape.

discipline came. telling myself that i must studied up the last topic and unexpectedly, i was left with 4 pages to finish up studying. i thought i've got a huge chuck to memorise. God specialise in miracles! these little miracles really made my heart feel warm (:


With Christ in the vessel,
I can smile at the storm

I can do everything
through him who gives me strength.

Because he lives, I can face tomorrow

training was gooood today! thank God for the fine weather, not too hot, not too cold (: i haven gone for training for like a month already. and was quite fearful that instead of hitting the ball, i will hit the wind. get it get it? HAHAHAS! but the company was lovely ((: without them, i wouldnt be there anymore.

today's lunch was quite unusual. we had instant noodles. reason behind was we were sick of north canteen food, koufu is too cold, south canteen is too far. yaaaaa. but its really heartwarming to see all the clicks come together and eat (:

i would say that poly life isnt as exciting as secondary school life, and who says poly life is slack? SO NOT! working in teams isnt that easy, projects deadlines are surrounding me daily, you worry about people or even myself able to do a good job in it.

but nonetheless, i praise God very much that im able to be educated and for placing where i am now (: i pretty much cant figure out why im studying this course, or why im studying what im studying now. but great plans is in God's hands, and i believe that He will show me soooon! :D


till then!

Dear Lord,
Joey feels drained doing it on her own tonight yet she knows she is not on her own. She will persevere because you are the one who gives her strength to carry on.

Happy New Year!

it has been a year of victory (:

victory with fearful-ness.
victory with speaking up.
victory with going deep with God.
victory with relationships.
victory with cellmates.
victory with thanksgiving.

Thank God for victory in Christ! the closeness that the cellmates have given, the rides, the meals, the time spent, the effort put in and all. this year has made a impact and difference, truely a wonderful year for me :D

Im grateful for those who picked me up when i fell. for those who kept encouraging me. for those who asked 'how was my week?' for those who helped me in my spiritual life. for those who are my close friends.

2008 has come. teach me to embrace it as a year of sabbath.
