cass joeyboy leonard con and me headed for a concert at potong pasir CC after service, after nua-ing at cass house. it was both leonard and joeyboy's childhood friend that was playing (: it wasnt so bad. and now the tune is in my head.

had supper or rather dinner at chompchomp (: con was so filled that he couldnt help but feel horrible, more horrible than being drunk.

oh wait. joke of the day. i guess too much nua-ing at home and create such hilarous moments! inculding installments and installation. haaaaaa.

joeygirl: my school's extending.
cass: huh? how they extend? which building?
joeygirl: i meant extending the school holidays!
bro and joeyboy: ha ha ha ha.

such moments and conversations are worth the time! (:

friday was the last day of work and decided to give ourselves a treat (: headed down to bugis where ive got to know friends like yvonne and peier. i've got to know them better. and realise that they arent that bad (: a hilarous gang and all. i couldnt help but laugh at peier as she gives imaginary and dramatic actions all the way. hahaha.

we went to zhong qing to eat steamboat. my first time eating and sitting near to the gaseline made both my cousin and i giddy. but overall was not bad!

interview on saturday was unsuccessful :( which means i still have to continue to job hunt. but maybe a week's break will be fine :D :D :D hehs.

your works are wonderful (:
i stand amazed.

Sometimes life makes you feel like a one-stop station. where there are questions questions questions. but you know that you will never get the answer back. and as we asked God to change us to be more like him, He revealed to us the issues in life. and we came to realise how much we have fallen short. it makes us want to run away and deny the truth. but God reminded me that all the more we have to cling unto him as he worked in our lifes.

lets hang on (:

work is coming to an end tomorrow (: wheeeeee. and the amazing things that we have was that we have free goodies while distributing the flyers. examples are daisy flowers, toothpaste, UIC detergents sample, ruler, tissue papers, magnets, sweets and many more. ive almost collect all the junks back home. hahahas.

and today ive got a sunburnt on both my face and hands. super red and painful. but i guess it wil subside within a day or two. just by distributing flyers can also be sunburnt. my mum say that i was dumb enough to stand under the sun. hahaha. and i totally agree with that statement she made.

oh wells. ANYWAYS. IVE GOT GOOOOOD NEWS TO SHARE! my school starts at 28th april. it was dragged down to another two weeks. i dont know if it was good news or bad news. but will consider good news. that means ive got more days to prepare for school and all (:

today was my second day of work. and its tiring yet fun. i was in charge of the perfume sector and all the time i was spraying perfumes for people, now i think im having a horrible smell in me even after i bathe.

for the start, i was feeling so idle at work because there wasnt much customers. and i decided to ask the customers if they like the brand yadah yadah yadah. these really made me busy and all. and i was talking to my mum that work was tedious and all (maybe i like to emphasise on my patheticness) then she stopped replying. looks like she doesnt want to associate with a tired and feeling shagged 18 year old. hahahas.

why i love my job
- it's only 30 mins away from home
- the workplace has almost everything that you can get
- it brings in the bread for me to spend
- i can 'people-spot' once again. and thoughts feeling my mind
- i made new friends
- i dont have to do dish-washing at home cause dinner is outside.

why i dislike my job
- i have to dress like women in black
- i cant sit down until break time comes
- the managers are always looking around, much tension
- because im working full shift tomorrow

overall, i really thank God for his provision (: and to be able to connect with my 'colleagues' as they are friendly and niceee! work aside, me got a heavy heart. my working timeslots clashes with santification week. and i only manage to change slot with another part timer for a day. pray!

just sitting there for awhile watching the world go by. loved catching snippets of people conversations as they walked by, it gave us a sneaky peak into the lives of others. loved to guess what people did for a living, where they were headed to as they rushed by, where they study, if they were attached anot... it was the best place for people spotting. my school canteen (: create little scenarios in our heads to pass the time. that is what my group of friend does when its break time. hahahhas. i miss them all.

to think of school i dread. cause im receiving my results really sooooon. ive put in much effort in studying. okays, i guess abit more from semester1. but i reallly dont want to get low grades nor take supp paper. please pray for meeee! :D


on a lighter note, i've gotta job! like finally (: thank god for his provision!

In God alone
Tuesday, March 11, 2008 @ 1:34 AM


headed down to esplanade today. i didnt know there was a library there! i was amazed at the structures and all. there wasnt any fiction or non-fiction books. only music scores, literature books, films and theathe works. there was great scenerey toooo!

it was a day where i spend with God alone. He reminded me that He's Emmaunel which is God with us. and nothing beats the assurance of God who speaks in ways that are so amazing, at the time of need and in the most encouraging ways that breaks your heart. and how great his creations are. the sun, the clouds, the birds and the lovely weather.
i stood amazed at the wonders of God's works once again (:

watched leap years today with shirley. and i think its pretty goood for a local movie (: In three words, I can sum up everything I've learnt about life: IT GOES ON. - Robert Frost.

i was nagged at mummy again. and this time was the longest lecture. about not practicing hard in my piano lessons. its really scary when you see the amount of fees paid and the exam fees too. i felt like i wasted quite alot of money as i didnt put much effort in learning. but i dont want to be weighted down by burdens for the sake of passing exams.

Yet sometimes it's so diffuclt. Strings pulling me, calling me to be this, to have this. I just want to be found in God's presence, to be who you are calling me to be. I don't want to be burdened by the yoke of worldly stuffs. i pray that i will work and practice harder. My heart wants to dance like I'm free again for God you have come to mould me. your breath of life has set me freeee (:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth

HAHAHA. i rushed back home, i love love love the smell in the night where it is chilly and nice, especially when it is raining. super lovely! :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wanna share this poem that pastor khong shared last sunday. i thought that it was reaally nice and touching. God reallly love love love us this much!

A minister passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.

Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.

His shirt was kind of shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
then rose and walked away.

In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment,
a lunch pail in his lap.

Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
"What are you doing here?"

The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
for finding strength and power.

"I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
this is kind of what I say:
"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY.

"The minister feeling foolish,told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
to come and pray just anytime.

Time to go, Jim smiled,
said"Thanks."
He hurried to the door.

The minister knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,

he repeated old Jim's prayer:
"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY."

Past noon one day,the minister noticed
that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
he began to worry some.

At the factory, he asked about him,
learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
but he'd given them a thrill.

One week that Jim was with them,
brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.

The head nurse couldn't understand
why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came,
not a visitor he had.

The minister stayed by his bed,
he voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.

Looking surprised, old Jim spoke up
and with a winsome smile;
"the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
that in here all the while
everyday at noon He's here,
a dear friend of mine,you see,

He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY,
AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS
CHECKING IN TODAY."

(: doesnt it warms your heart?

Reaching for You
Sunday, March 2, 2008 @ 11:24 PM

I can't believe the way
Your love has got a hold on me
Each morning I wake to find You near

You lift me above my fears
And set my feet on solid ground
All of my days belong to You
And I breathe in Your breath of life that fills my heart

You are my all consuming fire
I stand here before You
In wide opened wonder
Amazed at the glory of You
The power of heaven
Revealing Your purpose in me
As I'm reaching for You

Sunrays, clear skies, tree frames, staring out of the window.
I like the green, I like the blue, I like the spectrum. Best of all I like how it reminds me of....
sunshine (:

weekends are here. i spend the day reading a book! its cat and dog theology. it was real and true each time i read a sentence, and my heart was just sinking with great guilt.

there was a question asked, "How many of you know Christians who are totally joyless?" The majority of people in our audiences raise their hands. They have discovered one reason why so many Chrisitians are joyless. Their salvation is basically fire insurance, and they are merely walking away from hell, focused on themselves. They have never discovered the treasure. Think about it. There is no joy in walking away from hell. Relief? YES.

We are focused on how they can be blessed by God that they never have time to think of people from other countries, much less to invite them to become a part of their lives and from that to make God real. Not only we are focused only on what God does for us and not on what God wants us to do in and through us.

i prayed that i will not let myself be the focus. but let God be my piority and i will continue finding the treasure of life (:
