I was right. I am missing them loads. Haha. My dearest Jules and Sharon, hope you guys are still holding out well. I noe you r super busy with all the studying, working, jamming and forecasting. God is your strength!
Well, it's been 2 weeks since I've gone over. The peeps r pretty ok. I still dunno them that well, and still feeling a lil lost. Hmmm, i tink i shld prolly tk on a more active role to get to noe them betta. Kinda taking a backseat and waiting for ppl to warm up to me automatically which is prolly a silly thing to do. "If you want frens, you gotta first be friendly yourself."
Quite a lot has happened in the last 4 weeks. I went for the BV auditions and nope, i din make the cut. I am disappointed. But i dun wanna sulk or blame anyone or give up on my dreams. I wanna work harder, twice as hard if i haf to. God, i pray you will turn everything ard, the hurts, the envy and emptiness, turn them all into my motivation, so that i can run faster and furthur for You. I am learning slowly but surely to let it go. To put it down and look at it positively. God is a good God.
Soon i will b water baptized. Woot! But somehow i am not so excited. I have waited for so long... i tink i've forgotten why i wanted to in the first place. Renew my passion for You everyday Jesus, renew my vision. I love You.

Hurts
It's been a long time since i came. So if i said nothing has happened i'll b lying. But i;m not here to talk bout all that. Juz one particular thing tat has happened these past 2 days.
Everyone noes i love cheerleading. It's really fun and exciting. But i also haf my owns fears as well. And cos of my not-so-light weight and not-so-gd body shape, more often than not, i feel inadequate. But i try. Along with giving a million whinnys and compliants.
i was really quite close to this person last yr during the cheerleading. i tink she felt that she could click betta wif me. But somehow this yr i dun feel that she feels the same way anymore. i noe we aint exactly best frens but it still kinda hurts. Sigh.
I juz feel lousy bout myself and i hate this feeling. Ever since the beginnig of POS this year, i feel less impt. i noe that it's most prob cos of eid that i cant b ard so much so i'm doing lesser. But some of the stuff i'm given i oso dun do so well that in the end they haf to scrape me and change everything. argh.
Then now we're starting the new ministry. And i wanted to join. But now i'm not so sure. Firstly my wrists aren't exactly in good condition and oso cos i dunno if i can committ to this as a ministry. I've got problems and choir. If you dun understand the previous line, dun ask me. So i feel kinda left out of the whole thing. Everyone frm ntu has been assigned as an ic. i noe they prolly gaf their word that they're gonna b committed le that's y but it still hurts. And they din even put me in any grp. Thanks. I feel so included. I wanna run away frm them and nv see them again. Actually maeb it's juz her. I dunno.
Confession to make here: i din go for prac yest for 2 reasons. First it's the wrists. Second i'm lazy. So i'm oso in the wrong. I dun even noe if they are in the wrong. oh well, i tink i juz gotta let go and let God. Holding on to hurts and grudges nv helps. It only makes the wound bigger.

J'ai besoin de voyager
I love to travel. To see this vast vast world that You have created. To see the numerous people and cultures You have put on this earth.
Too bad i ain't loaded. Not me nor my parents. I can only look at the glorious fotos that my most fortunate friends have taken while on their travels. There's Lik Yin in South America, and Mandy in Milan(how cool is that! and for 7 mths too!). I was practically drooling over the fotos. Oh well, guess i juz gotta wait it out.
The last time i sat on a plane was 3 and a half years ago. At this point, i think i'm hearing some remarks like, "Quit whining. What about the rest of us?" I must offer my most sincere apologies if i have offended you in any way. But i can't help it. I am dying to travel. I am dying to experience new faces, new languages. The kind of adrenelin and impulsion i feel whenever i see those pictures, i'm not sure how many of you can understand it. i believe the fact that i've never even gotten out of this side of the hemisphere fuels that passion as well. My time will come. You just wait.

Times and Seasons.
I know i said goodbye.
But there's the occasional time when i feel i need a little space of my own. God i know You are reading this.
People are made in pairs. One for another. This i totally agree.
In a recent turn of events, i found out that 2 of my frens have gotten attached. I'm happy for them, really i am, esp since one of them is my best friend in sec sch. Yet, my emotions are mixed. I can't help but feel a tinge of envy.
Why? Why is it that the whole world seems to be finding their happiness all at the same time. But it juz ain't mine. I understand You work in seasons Lord. I know now isn't the time. I know i shouldn't complain but... There is a slight sadness that i feel which i can't explain why. Is it self-pity? I hope not. I dont wanna turn into one of those desperados whom i so utterly despise. I have lost confidence in myself but i wanna put my confidence in You. That when the right one comes along at the right time, Your Holy Spirit will tell me.
"Guard my heart, oh guard my heart", You have warned me, "For out of it springs the issues of life." I will God, i will. I will try my best, and i will lean on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance. Teach me to walk in Your ways, to be led by Your Spirit. Let my life be full of purpose Lord, Yours and not mine. Let everyday be an adventure; let every moment take my breath away. Amen.

Should i Stay or Should i Go?
It's been a whooping 2 months since i've posted anything. Not that my life has been super exciting or super boring. Nothing of the extremes. Just plain mediocre. What a terible word.
Just yesterday i had a complaint about my lack of updates and I'm beginning to wonder if i should really keep this up. My once in a month kinda posts that aren't really giving people any kind of insight into my personal world. Seriously, i dun think that the stuff i've offered so far has allowed anyone to see the real me. i just can't decide if i wanna let loose my fingers here. I dun wan pple to be negatively affected by what i tink ya noe.
Anyway, much did happen during this 2 months of my absence. i dun wanna do into details tho it's wat you nosy parkers out there really wanna noe. The scoop. The inside story. Well, too bad... that just ain't my cuppa. Ha.
I nearly got into trouble trouble with God. Major trouble. Not funny at all so i wun type haha. More than once this whole year i had allowed my heart to be tempted, to be stolen away from God. Thank God for His grace that i was even able to pull thru at all. If not, i dunno what would haf become of me. What a scary thot... God is indeed a faithful God, even when i was not. Sry, but i name no names so i wun say exactly wat happened.
Anyway, praise God that i managed to(not without plenty of difficulties) pay my one year vow to Him. Now, i am faced with the question and dilemma of what i wanna do, what is God wanting me to do, what can i expect, what should i expect. Argh. I really hate to think of such things but something Andy mentioned hit me. He said that if we are going nowhere in life today it's because we din make a decision yesterday. A right decision will warrant a good future and vice versa. So, no decision means no future. Wah. I got no future. But God you said in Jer29 that "For I know the thots that i think towards you, thots of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." So how can i say that i got no future. God is just waiting for me to take the first step, to make that right decision for my future. Rather than leaving everything to their own devices which means ultimate destruction. Yea, the next one week i think will be a trying week for me, gotta sort out many things and make decisions that could make or break me. Holy Spirit, i need Your guidance, Your help, cos i know that i can't trust my own judgement. Talk to me, reveal to e God, what should i do? I will really do my best to trust You, tho it could be scary. Let my heart be so open to You. let Your will be done. Amen.

More than Conquerors... yep that's ME!
Today, we had a guest speaker from Sweden, Word of Life Church come speak to us. No, it isn't Pst Ulf... It's Pst Carl Gustav! It's the first time i've heard him preach and boy is he good! I was very blessed by the msg he shared today so i thot i'll juz leave a few titbits for you guys to savour...
Title of Sermon: More than Conquerors!
Wow! Yes i've always been told that we are overcomers and that He who is in me is greater than he that is in the world. But, i believe that this is the first time dis topic hit me so hard. Thank You, Holy Spirit!
3 Things that we must Conquer:
1) Conquer ourselves
2) Conquer the world
3) Conquer the evil one(Satan)

Because Pst Carl has been a missionary for more than 30 yrs i think, hence he's got many juicy stories to share - all his very own real-life experiences of cos. But the one that has me convicted the most is about him sharing the gospel for the first time. At this point, some of you may think what's the bag deal about that? Everyone's got a first. Yea, but his was a first which few of us wld ever dare to do. At the age of 14, the same year he received his salvation and the Holy Spirit, he actually went up to the dean of his school one fine day and asked if he could use to school auditorium and haf the whole population of 600 to be there cos he got a good news to share. I was totally blown away. How many of us wld actually dare to do such a thing like this? For the first time you are sharing the gospel and to 600 ppl? It's amazing the kind of confidence God puts in us to do His will. And of cos the dean agreed and he even asked Pst Carl to do it again. For those of us who haf not mustered the courage to share the gospel even once( dun raise up ur hand), it's time to conquer that fear in you. Fear that you may malu urself, that you may lose ur frens, that you are not gd enuff yet. Throw all of them away! Be full of faith in Christ Jesus, for then we shall indeed be more than conquerors.
Actually i din intend to write about this but suddenly i juz thot of the svc today. i think it's the Holy Spirit prompting me... (^_^) I wanted to write bout something very emotional but thank God that He had come to soothe that hurt and anger, as well as prick that little balloon in my heart called pride. bleah. gotta crucify myself daily. exams coming so pray for me ppl...
