MY NAME

You ain't seeing it anywhere else
Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Leaving my house in another 45minutes to do mani and pedicure at AMK. then after that travel to Bishan for pilates with dear, who helped me get the Body Shop Scrub for only $18.90! Yippee.

Realized that lately, I have been pampering myself. Haha! Why not? Especially if it's worth it.

My face skin texture has improved tremendously since using Fancl products. I want to switch to Fancl but not now, because their products are not cheap. I guess it's true the saying that you get what you pay, when comes to beauty products. :) Now half of my cosmetic/skin care products are from Body shop, and the other half Fancl (thanks to my aunt who blessed me with them). Looking forward to the day I can afford Fancl! Yeahhh.

Woke up really late today, have been starting to sleep late again. This is bad. And when I turn in early, I will toss and turn alot because I can't stop having lots of thoughts running through my head. Bad!

I'm building a wishlist. Because my birthday's coming. Still in progress, and I'll keep it updated. Muahahaha!

1. Neutral color sling bag that goes with most of what i like to wear
2. Relient K's latest album
3. Chic, neutral color belt
4. Scarf/shawl eg. from Cotton On or Uniqlo
5. Chic black jacket
6. Pair of good looking sneakers, those that covers until the ankles but not too much. Some good ideas are neutral colors, dark green, check patterns.
7. Apple strudel from Ritz or Renaldo's!!!
8. Angbaos....so that I can have enough to fulfil my dream of going to korea in Jan2010 :D
9. A new and better violin!
10. A new violin case (the current one was destroyed by me just yesterday :( the lock broke.)
11. Prayers for me to pass grade 8 in late 2010 or early 2011! (This should be easy, it's foc - Free Of Cost!)

Went to Strip @ 8d Dempsey House for free waxing as their model for practice. Aka guinea pig albeit a happy one coz I get FOC service. Initially I planned to do full face and underarms, but they told me I wasn't suitable to do full face because I used tea tree oil for my pimples which may cause irritation and redness to the facial skin. Also, my face skin is thin. I'm very happy when I hear that hahaha! To me thin skin = nice skin. I always thought my skin was thick and difficult to upkeep. I'm happy to know I have thin face skin now. Heh heh!

So was a little disappointed but still happy. Eventually they still did an upper lip for me and now I'm amazed at how I can FEEL the contour of my mouth! It's amazing. My moustache is gone. But would I want to go hairless entirely? No. I love the hair on my arms and legs. To me they are a layer of protection. I will miss hairy limbs if they become hairless. =(

Need to get body scrub for after care. Some interesting facts I have learnt from them: Don't wash with warm water within 24 hours. Use cool water. Then after that, use body scrub to prevent in-grown hair follicles. =) Also, don't use alcohol based cosmetic products or moisturizer. Finally, hair will not grow back so fast as compared to shaving method. 3 weeks I think.

Off to body shop at JP tomorrow to grab my body scrub! Yippee!

Pastor Kong went for the homerun today during service man! Two statements he made which I ABSOLUTELY ADORED and agree.

#1 The type of man in the house determines the destiny of the female

#2 If your name is no good, why will she (your wife, or your daughter) want to continue carrying your family name?


What is the definition of "Real man"? A real man is someone who takes responsibility, and his word is his bond. That translates naturally to trustworthiness, which give women the much needed sense of security, which is a really big thing for 99.9% of women. She's lying if she says that she isn't looking for security when dating guys. Just want to say this & set the record straight!

Indeed, I'm a big believer that what comes out of your mouth determines the character inside of you. If you hurl vulgarities, you are a vulgar man or woman. Even if it's just one word, or you may "unintentionally" say it. It's even worse if you say it is unintentional, then you don't actually know yourself that well, which means you have a problem with vulgarities or something even deeper like anger problem. And I can't imagine what that is going to escalate into in the long run.

Likewise, if a person always shoot off his mouth before even stopping to do some thinking about the consequences, that person have a super duper low EQ. And he got to realize there's a HUGE need to change if he wanna see some success in his life.

Now, my most honest and direct of all statement. I'm sick and tired of seeing men not fulfilling their fullest potential because I know that they are made to be so much more successful than right now. I'm not expecting every man to be perfect, but at the very least I hope to find some qualities of real man in my male friends. Okay disclaimer: I do have male friends with undeniable manhood, and I really do respect them for that. And I hope every girl who is in their heart will be so blessed because these male friends of mine are REAL MEN. So I'm not here to shoot every man down okay. Must mention again disclaimer.

But of course, Pastor's message isn't confined to just the men but women as well. Our word should always be our bond and that applies regardless of gender. I am convicted of the sin of giving out idle words....I have valid reasons but they are really "excuses"....I am very inclined to say across the board (and i think this is right) that 90% of all reasons given by people are excuses. Only 1 or 2 out of 10 reasons are really valid reasons.

I just want to be a better person and apply what I have learnt. I don't want to waste my 2 hours sitting in the church service yet not applying it. That would be a waste of my time and pastor's time of discipleship. So let's catch it, receive it and implement it.

What do you think makes a good praise and worship music album? Just feel like asking this question. By the way, it's super HOT today! Onning my AC and cooling my face down with the bodyshop gel pack whenever one of my hands is free. Phew.

I'm currently listening to this: Hillsong Live 2009, Faith+Hope+Love.

Have listened to this over and over again, and by far the best (my opinion) for worship during quiet time out of all the Hillsong albums.



My answer to the question would be that a good p&w music album is one that speaks of the current season I am in.






When I listened to CHC Cross album back in 2005, I was just a new born Christian in Junior College, on fire and ready to serve God in any way that I can, even though I may not know much. That album came across to me as an album displaying the potential and all the abilities of the entire church congregation in music, creativity and art. In my honest opinion, the Cross (Live Worship) album is still the best after all these years of new songs and new albums. I love the songs that have been written, and I still do. :)


I love Hillsongs too, afterall they are (I think they are. They should be!) the pioneers of contemporary christian music. And Faith+Hope+Love is by far the favouritest out of all of theirs. I really like one of the songs led by Brooke Fraser, which sounded very new age! I think it's cool. :) In fact I bought the album because of that one song "Yahweh" which was sung during worship at service last Sunday. And now, I have grown to like the entire album!!! I love the spiritual flow.

Every complaint my mum has against me, I normally take it to heart and they affect me quite extensively. Sometimes I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes I wish to be like some of my friends, being a bit more rebellious in the sense that every word our mothers say will not affect us so deeply as it does now to me.

I am saying all these in the context of really wanting to spend more time with my parents and having made allowances (ie. resist the temptation of piling my week's schedule with outside activities). And I must admit that I haven't been spending a lot of time with them the past 2 weeks.

Sigh. It's a bad thing that my mum knows I'm a cell group leader now huh. OKAY......that's my flesh speaking......

It is an art learning how to honour our parents. I ain't perfect at it. Still have a long way to go. And still trying my best.

It is easy to say that because my family is those kind that demands quality time, that I'm going through all these which seems "unfair" to me. It is easy to say this is the period of time when empty nest syndrome kicks in for parents with kids my age. All these perhaps are valid reasons but deep inside, I know that I can still do something in spite of all these reasons, or rather, EXCUSES that I give myself.

I have been really working hard trying to balance my lifestyle. Yet I kind of expected this day to arrive. The time when my mum's complaints will be like a sounding alarm, indicating to me whether my life is on or off-balance. There's just alot of adjustments to make around new commitments....what a headache.

Maybe it is a necessary evil. At the end of the day, emmagoodegirl. I know I am.

War of words is the most futile type of war...once it starts, u keep feeling like u have to continue in it. haha. so i am just letting it be after i have done what i wanted. i commented on pastor's blog entry on Wholesome Shallowness, and i have never extensively commented anything on his blog before. the recent blog by pastor was my first and will most probably be my last. :)

i mean if u read the comments, some just need a wake up call man....some r personal attacks which i cant be bothered to reply to. but some has some 'genuine' concerns, which if nobody addresses u will kind of feel its becoming a sin of omission. haha. cos they r ppl tt r concerned but aren't understanding the cultural mandate.

If u did not visit that blog in pst's website, and u didn't read the comments section, good. DON'T. there is no point in seeing some ppl's stupidity in their comments and getting urself upset with them.

After reading 1001 posts by haters just by googling 'pastor kong hee' or 'sun ho', i've built my immunity towards baseless and personal attacks cos i noe they just want to show off how much they hate. but its those ppl who think they know alot - or maybe they do, but what they know is the redundant stuff la- and they miss the impt stuff tt really matters - and they use it against pastor and sun. tt's just incorrigible, the pharisaical ppl. pharisees will never admit tt they are pharisaical.

okay, it's still not for me to outrightly judge and criticise them. so i'll keep it at that. we dont change the world by being critical of one another. it is not abt warring with words. so let us continue in what we r doing right and keep doing well in those things.

Don't feel like touching the pile of books at the corner of my desk, those books which I must open in order to begin the mammoth task of writing my dissertation!

I have left my dissertation alone for a long time since school started. I intended to use this week, ie. my holiday week to complete the first draft or at least progress significantly in it. But looks like I'm being boggled by this huge spirit of procrastination over me. Sigh.

Well, want to hear a good news? I'm no longer addicted to drama anymore! Yay. Should I say I've seen enough dramas to know that all dramas are more or less confined to those few types of plots? Perhaps. Haha. But I'm still tuning in to one drama, so that's 1 hour per week spent on drama now. And that is Roseate Love by Rachel Liang Wen Yin. I like its use of voice-overs in this drama, which makes the focus of the drama not just on the action (which is so overused already), but rather the inner voice of the character. The focus is on the inner struggles and conflict of the character and that is made open to audience. The things shared by the character are so close to heart in real life! It's just like you can identify with the emo-ness of the character because you have thought about the same things before. It really made me cry alot.

But of course I don't deny that the action plot is very conventional, talking about this guy who protects Rachel Liang's character in the drama but he himself is a wounded creature. But you know what? I like to see growth in the characters of a drama. That is my definition of a "good" drama. From someone who dwell in self-pity (the male lead) until he gains courage from Rachel Liang's character and using it he breaks through and forgives his own mother, until he is willing to do anything for his mother, you see a man who started selfish but end up selfless. That inspired me to continue watching this drama. It doesn't just make you feel good. It make you think about your own life.

I also believe that the plot maybe deliberately made to be conventional, so that the inner struggle part in the drama can stand out. My personal opinion.

I believe this is why "Fated to Love You" is such a hot drama. It doesn't make you feel good only. It makes you think about your own life too. Also "Knock Knock Loving You" and this drama.

What a lengthy post.

Well, I decided to write a part 2 so that I can spare the eyes of blog readers. And also because it is a response & a different turn from my previous entry. If you noticed, I even tried to color my paragraphs so it wouldn't look like chunks of ants crawling on your computer screen.

Having said what I've said in the previous entry, of course I don't expect and I've NEVER expected every single Christian to understand Sun's calling....as I've quoted in the previous post, we all choose what we want to believe. All I am asking is that instead of outrightly criticizing Sun, calling her a "whore" or "prostitute" or what-nots, why not wait and see. Jesus says to look at the fruits of our labor to know if this person is godly. How do u determine if this person is passionate for God? Through results. Just like how your boss evaluates your work attitude and if you're a good employee. He sees and only believes in RESULTS.

From what I know, Sun has always been bearing fruits of love, diligence and faithfulness. Her love for the needy is so deep not everyone of us can claim to have that kind of passion. Being very honest here! You don't hear of it in the news doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means sometimes we have to question the credibility and reliability of the mass media. Seems like I am attacking the mass media alot right? Hahahaha. Oh well. Just trying to make my point. =)

I'm just very sad to see in Pastor Kong's writeup that people email him and call Sun a "whore", a "prostitute" and other profanities. Some of these people are not non-believers, but Christians. It must have broken his heart a 1000 times to hear people whom are fellow Christians speak of his own wife like that. Honestly, he didn't have to let his own wife do the groundbreaking if not for God's calling. They have every reason, every right to stop what they are doing. But they have chosen to persevere despite some people's averse reactions. And I personally think that is so admirable. That is the human spirit. And I'm proud to be in Pastor Kong and Sun's church. I really am.

Maybe you guys reading this cannot comprehend to the degree of what I'm trying to say, some of you might even be wondering what's the big hoo-ha about Sun Ho. All I'm saying is before putting her down, give her a chance. She IS talented, she HAS the international market appeal otherwise how is she able to stay in US for so long...? If you ain't a fan of her music, then at least appreciate the fact that she is a hard working artiste just like anyone in the industry. At the end of the day, it boils down to one's character. Which I can't say much of nor can anyone control.

Labels:

2:08 AM


















I have always wanted to blog about Sun and the works she have been doing, because I cannot stand the fact that people are not as informed as they should have been about the works she has been doing. She isn't just a singer, she is a serious humanitarian.

Compared to other local and "more successful" artistes who gets more media attention - mostly positive ones at that - Sun is getting far fewer media attention and when she does, positive reports isn't something that come to one's mind immediately. Of course, as time passed, things did get better. The media is less cruel on her. Yet what made her still stand strong even today in the entertainment industry is her sheer determination, undeniable talents and creativity, drive and passion, as well as the favour of God upon her life.

If today she failed in the US cross-over project, do you think the media is going to be a source of encouragement to her? No, I'm a doubter of that. I'm not so optimistic when it comes to the mass media, which garners for itself a notorious reputation for digging people's sh*t for the sake of sensationalism. Sorry but that's just really despicable. I'm referring to people in the industry who are like that.

Pastor Kong just wrote an entry @ http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/notes.php?id=1233847298. Do read it if you've got the time. I love what was mentioned:

We are all products of our personal theological persuasions and convictions. Pop culture affects the lifestyles of the masses. Venturing into the realm of secular culture is certainly not for the weak or the fainthearted.


Pastor is being very honest about a reality fact here; we choose what we want to believe. We are who we are because we allow/disallow value X and belief Y to govern the "self". In other words, don't try to impose human restrictions on what you think should be "holy" or "religious" on someone else who may not subscribe to your value or belief.

Don't get me wrong though. I'm not saying that we therefore can live a careless life thinking God is fine with us blatantly sinning. For there is only one way, one truth, one life, one God. And the way is narrow. John 14:6. What I am saying is that when God works in a way that seems foreign to you, don't fret or dismiss it immediately as something ungodly or a blasphemy. For every vision, dream, destiny and calling given to us is unique. Our God is elohim - a very creative God. If you can think of 1001 ways of spreading the gospel, He can think of 100,0001 ways of doing it! So let's not limit God. That's just really foolish of us to do that.

But for us who have been educated with the cultural mandate (Gen 1:28), I believe all the more we are clear why we are supporting the Sun's work - not just as an Asian pop star breaking into the US market - but Sun as a humanitarian, a counselor, a Christian in the marketplace to impact society. Put it this way. Pastor Kong Hee came up with the cultural mandate doctrine (okay, does "came up" sound like he took it up from nowhere you sensitive peeps who take sentences word-for-word?? Clarification time. Pastor Kong took it up from extensive research and analysis on the Christian history and most importantly the Bible itself! So no issue on this I pray.)

You are probably distracted by my long side input so i'm gonna repeat that again. Pastor Kong came up with the cultural mandate. He sends not you or me to do the "dirty work" of breaking into the secular arena. He sends HIS OWN WIFE. Okay? To me, that's a huge sacrifice. To push your own spouse to the wolves to be sheep amongst wolves. Hoho. You got to be very confident in your own husband or wife, you got to be pristine clear that this is THE calling from God, and you got to be meek as a sheep but wise as a serpent.

So guys, please don't belittle Sun's efforts or her abilities anymore. Entering the pop culture realm is really not for the fainthearted. She has been more than a conqueror and will continue to be, with the support of Pastor and the entire church congregation and also other Christians who are in this together. She needs our prayer because she isn't doing this for her own glory (though most would like to think it is, hurhurhur) but for God to receive that glory one day through her amazing testimony of Christ In Culture.

A shoutout to all Very-Religious-Christians: Be religious in the right things.

Yay finally im blogging. its my incentive after achieving the milestone i've self-set for my study progress today. i think it's blogger's birthday today. hmmm happy bday blogger.com and wishing that u will have fewer problems especially when it comes to uploading pics. otherwise, u r a great medium for personal sharing space. Keep it up!

I'm currently in sch for a paid survey. i get 50 bucks by the end of the day (5pm) so why not. :) we can do our own work and just by being there we can earn some good bucks. not bad to be in uni right. haha. only disadvantage is cannot use laptop. but thank God for web on mobile phones! heh heh.

Yesterday was at leader's meeting and i was rly happy to be there with weiling who has just joined us. :) it is indescribable joy to have her around me cos as a friend, i do confide in her alot and increasingly so. im gonna c her later again for pilates class. also huixia. :) we have been attending it faithfully except for last wed due to opm. i enjoy pilates because i totally get what the instructor says and im able to execute the actions rather well. i think. haha. compared to an exercise u cant execute out which juZ leads to frustration, i prefer the former. oh, and the instructor is really cool too. like her! :)

im happy and i really am. i love all the friendships i have.

"Although when i say i wana go all out, i only use up 80% of my energy so that there is room for contingency." pst's words during one of e services.

I think i must really learn how to master this from now onwards. Sometimes i feel ive burnt out my energy bcos of certain things i cannot NOT do. coZ it seems like tts e only way to go about things. Yet i cant afford to be off balance. So, im still in the process of learning. :)

Sometimes, i must learn to reject and say no. Especially for those situations im entirely not obligated to say yes.

Blogging on the go again. i might be doing this more frequently than web blogging! :) Its more fun.

My aunt made my day. We shopped away our entire afternoon at ION Orchard.

1. Body shop membership renewed
2. Body shop products bought for me
* Aloe Vera Eye defence, the one I've been wanting to get
* Tea tree face wash cleanser which is also a dirty makeup brushes cleaner. Fyi I feel Tea Tree must be the bestest product range created by Body Shop!!
* Eye gel pack for cooling tired eyes. Sooooothing.

3. Lunch at one of the Jap restaurants, as well as Korean street snacks from Du Bong Ki side stalls @ ION Food Hall! YUMMY!!!!!

4. FANCL Facial products

* Milk lotion light
* Facial Cleansing Oil
* Free Washing Powder Mini Kit

5. Taxi Ride from Orchard to Expo for SERVICE!

At least $100 from this shopping spree. Really SPREE sia. We didn't visit the dead sea scroll exhibition in the end...coz there wouldn't be enough time if we did.

BUT my blessings didn't stop coz I self-blessed with Hillsong's Faith.Hope.Love CD as well as Joel Osteen's "Be A People Builder". Hehe! I hope both of the items will bless me tremendously spiritually. I was hesitating whether to buy or not at Attributes, & I decided to in the end because investing into the Kingdom of God I get spiritual nourishment in return. That's pretty worth it, huh? =)

The day ended well, although in the morning I was drenched when walking from my house all the way out to SSTC, Han's hostel which was nearby. I had to pass him something. Was praying in tongues all the way to distract myself from the fact that I'm drenched EVEN WITH AN UMBRELLA. But glad I got to meet him and received some updates from him.

I was supposed to meet a friend for service this afternoon too, but she did not turn up. So I went for service alone. Actually, I'm glad I could go for service alone. Not that I dislike companions, but when there is an opportunity, I'd cherish those times when I'm attending service all by myself. =) I feel it's my personal method of recharging spiritual battery. To get away from the buzz occasionally to quieten down without having the need to think for others all the time. Hmmmm. =)

Okay...tomorrow's sort of gonna be a long but fun day. I'm believing it will be! Will be at Expo after service time. And then having a meet up in the evening at Chomp Chomp food haven with Willy and gang! Yahoo. Still thinking what can/should I do during the few hours in between. Hmm.

1. God, you are SO speaking to me.

2. God has His own timing in answering my questions and confusion. Today, God answered the big qn mark abt message behind Jonah's story.

3. The longer I am treading in the unknown and uncertainty, the more I begin to doubt His character and fear the unknown. But today, my faith is shaken together once again to believe God knows what I am going to go thru and He gave His approval for it when the devil sought His permission to administer the testing.

4. I miss writing notes during spiritual feeding session alot.....!

5. What i'm going thru ain't anything at all, its too early to call it quits, too early for thoughts of giving up, too early to say it ain't working. Too early to even entertain such thoughts!

6. Should i backslide? should one day i grapple with this, shld i think of leaving chc? yet if so, where else can i go...honestly? if one day im angry and frustrated to the max like Jonah, i feel like i dont love God and His church anymore, can i really find a place better than chc? no.....i dont think so.

7. God, it is you who called me to plant myself here. and unless YOU call me out of here, i will not be moved....no matter what (thinking abt point 6).

8. Totally agree with u, pst Kong! This is the church we cant find anywhere else with so many ppl so willing to serve God...indeed where and whom shall I go to than to stay in this awesome place!

ahhhh.

having found an obscure corner in my school when i can rest and relax and prep the cgm sermon for later. this is awesome! this is my second time here. glad to have found such a quiet spot.

so im here typing on my mobile phone...awesome again. guess im better at using my hp now tt im more familiar with the functions and getting better at pressing the tiny buttons. so im enjoying it now with free public wifi. this means i am not charged, right? lol...even then my hp bill most probably will shoot up this mth for use of internet surfing. realized there's this button to press under settings in order to log on to free unsecured access?? like i found out only this morn when pressing around. haha....i thought the hp will do its job automatically by detecting a free wireless connection. :x i shld hv known im under a phone plan and obviously it wants me to pay for charges...i mean like tts how they earn their keep right? lol.

hmmmm. being on internet mobile means i can put down my thots as and when possible. tts cool. :) just as cool as having a new blogskin from www.blogskins.com! i customisEd it though, with the colorful and luscious looking lips photo under tagboard, and the pic of old man working on smth in a run down and messy workshop. :) i picked pictures that first catch my eyes, then one tt fits with the blogskin color combination. its what ive always wanted...a blog tts colorful yet minimal, and eye catching yet plain! i know i'll not be an easy boss if i ever become one. hahaha. i always know what i want to see, but sometimes it is challenging to actually come out with it....tts what happens in life as a whole. :) we don't always get what we want exactly and often have to settle for less. but if we wait long enough (and if we can afford to wait), it will come and meet us.

and at this point, i really would like to say (and stand firm in what i believe) to the tempter that i will not be moved becos i have already been forewarned and preempted by the word of God...and i know this for sure- tt when i look back, what triviality this would be! smth so foolish for anyone to harbor any offences. thick skin, but a thin heart. :) it all works out for our good and i know the kind of intentions He has for our lives. i will love Him to the end and i will not be moved!

Since I have some time after lunch (best fishball noodle soup in Singapore is in NUS!), might as well spend some time blogging. I'm so sleepy now!

Watched Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower) starring Zhang Ziyi and Joan Chen. Yesterday night. Awesome cinematography! Every single prop used (well, almost) attributes itself to the main theme of the movie, ie. the patriarchal Chinese society and victimization of women as a result. ZHANG ZIYI is a great actress. I have to kowtow to her even though I don't agree with the way she lives her life in such scandalous manner.

Hmm lately I've been quite lazy to tweet because it seems so much more challenging to tweet on my new handphone, though it's definitely much sassier and sophisticated. Hope when I get used to it, I will start tweeting frequently once again!

Btw, heard of the MTV awards hoo-ha between Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Beyonce? Check it out man. Beyonce is so classy!

Got a new phone, new netbook, all at the COMEX IT fair on the first day at Suntec City. Dad paid for all of it. I'm so blessed.......my dad willingly spent so much on me. Sigh. Touched.

Have been so busy lately, I even forgot to attend a workshop I signed up for coz I was so eager to be off school on Thursday. I am giving myself additional challenge, ie. to finish all my tutorial for 2 modules by next week latest. So that I can focus on my thesis and 3 other modules' tutorials. Haven't really successfully done that. So really gotta buck up!

God has been really good to me....I must give it back in my own ways to serve Him.

I know that one day I will thank each and every person in the cell group. I know we are standing on good grounds, good soil. The last thing I would want to do is to be the destroyer of it. I need to be a steward, the faithful servant that multiplied 10 talents from the 10 talents received from my Master. Need to pray and seek God even more from today onwards!

Thank you God for BX, WL, MX, WJ, Hans! I'm very blessed to be in this cell group. :)

1. My great grand mother...how long ago did she leave us? I can't even rmb now.

2. Why aren't I a GUY.

3. This is humility. Humility melts people.

4. I want to live in old places just like this, near the sea, and have a garden just like this, to hold my funeral wake there.

5. I love quiet, dark places in nature. "Scary" is the first word that comes to mind for most, but not for me. I find unexplainable peace and serenity in this environment.

6. Inspired. Motivated. Provoked. What is life without passion? What is life without loving?

7. I'm crying not because I feel a lot of grief. My tears is the result of combination of admiration, respect, inspiration, provocation, with a tinge of regret not knowing Mr Howard in person. He would probably have changed my life. Perhaps.

8. We don't cry for a Christian loved one that has passed on, because he/she will be found in Heaven. But we cry because it will be decades before we reunite again in Heaven, and we will miss that loved one so much.

Most of us in church should have heard of Mr. Howard Cashin before. he is a 89 year old member of city harvest church who has just passed on to be with the Lord few days ago. Will be there to attend his funeral wake tonight...

I do not know Mr. Howard in person, but as I read the blog entry by Myrna, one of the Cgls in YK Zone, I realize what a humble person he is because of his heart for God that touched me so deeply. Please guys, click on the URL and read Myrna's blog entry.

The number 1 lawyer in Singapore who took on many infamous criminal cases...I salute him for him being a living cultural mandate BUT I salute him the most for being a David of his generation. Thank you God for impacting me with his life story. What a powerful testimony of a life well-lived.

...over the weekend. Let's see:

Friday - School, study in school, CG, CG fellowship @ Malay Village for late Dinner. Explored some new snacks - eyeopener!!

Saturday - Return NLB book, collect back bucket from GJ, Nap, Watch 4 episodes of Roseate Love (VERY TOUCHING...)

Sunday - Church, fellowship @ Changi Airport, Shop at Friend's stall @ Homeclub flea mkt, Sit down session @ Central's basement 1 eatery.

These two weeks, Cg sermon have been about fellowship. I'm happy to say that I made the effort to fellowship and it has truly blessed me. Although I'm tired and always end up stoning towards the end, I love spending time with people that is in my circle of influence. I am careful with who I pick to be friends, because I know I am easily influenced by others. This can be good or bad, depending on how one handles it. =)

Thank you God for so many wonderful friendships blooming around me...thank you God that you never fail to be a good God...it is easy to praise You when things are going smooth...and so, I do so freely. I <3 Jesus.

1. Work Hard, Play Hard. I'm determined to live this out!
2. God, heal my insecurities. The more I do, the more my weakness reveal itself. The more God's grace is needed. The more dependent on Him I must become.

Passed my Violin exam with flying colors. Old news already but still must update blog la. Actually the moment I saw my results online I wanted to blog it out but was so excited and wanted the fastest way to announce to the whole world this good news. Haha. So I twittered and facebooked and MSNed. Haha thank God for these mediums!!

Instead, I should talk here about why I was trembling with joy. It must really be God. This is a TESTIMONY!

The moment I stepped out of the exam room, I already felt defeated and was in a "I don't wanna talk about it or face it for at least the whole of today" mood. I felt I did worse than normal practice times. But I guess my violin tutor knew better.

Even when exam was looming, teacher did not tell me whether I'm playing good enough to just pass, or get a merit, or distinction. I didn't dare to ask him, in case he says I'm not good enough and will just pass only. Then I'd be super disappointed la! And I don't want to give up even before I step into the exam room.

Also, and worse, I couldn't read the examiner's poker face (po-po-po-poker face po-po-poker face). He sounded uber friendly in a professional way throughout the exam. I couldn't tell whether I did well or not from his expression at all! Heard examiners are supposed to do that, so that candidates cannot tell how well/badly they've done.

Anyway, so it was. This exam has reassured me that I haven't lost my talent in classical music...that God is always faithful and when He gives gift to us, He will never revoke it, or take it back. =) But more than that, I also now able to put greater trust in my violin tutor's teaching to bring me through to grade 8.

God is so gooddd.



I'm also going to help my Korean friend with conversational English...I was asking God for creative ideas to make lessons fun. Indeed, in like 1 minute after I prayed, I got my inspiration! It's going to be so interesting for her man.

Going to watch CNA at 5.32pm. Topic on Inter-religious harmony. Pastor Kong's going to be in it. =)

Did my nails and face mask. Feels like Sunday today! My parents are home coz they haven't recovered, my brother's home for the entire week clearing his company leave. Woohoo.

I deleted the playlist player coz it hasn't been working for some time now...will put up again when it's normal. I hope. And I replaced that music player with my wish list! Gosh I seriously wish I'm richer. I know that day will come! God is no liar.

I'm feeling so lazy now....a little sleepy though I woke up at 12.30pm. What. Now is only 3.45pm.

Realized my dreams have been closer to real life recently. Dreams are a side effect of what we focus on in real life. I always believe that. =) Sometimes dreams foretell the future but that's another issue altogether. I'm an overcomer! Taking one step at a time.

It's freezing inside and outside. sigh. Have been reading through a few readings that were quite lengthy and not sure useful or not. Went through half the pile and now am in the comp lab. Sian.

Fasting today...as what was preached 2 fridays ago, some temptations we must flee from, don't stay and bear it when we are supposed to flee. Smelled fishball noodles and Indonesian Paggang. Once at 4pm, second time at 5.30pm. I fled here after that. Sigh.

Realized there are many Korean exchange students around in my faculty. The most number of them compared to previous years. Quite cool, am having a Korean in my newly formed tutorial group for one of the modules. :) But too bad the module is so lousy. Can you imagine not one but TWO modules I'm taking this semester is taught by this really slack lecturer who nag and nag for the sake of talking through the tutorial class. >:( Yesterday, I went through it and it was INTOLERABLE. But thank God towards the end, he spoke abt some personal experiences that was quite interesting to hear about la. He may make a bad teacher but he is full of experience in this industry. So it was not that bad. BUTTT today's module tutorial is also by him!!!! I die. Thank God for wisdom. Brought some school work to read during the tutorial. Must do this from now onwards for that 2 modules if not waste my time! >:(

Okie doke. Gonna catch up on my Taiwan drama, Easy Fortune Happy Life. Realized recently I'm no longer addicted to dramas anymore! :) How did I do it? By shifting my focus to school work. I will rather catch variety shows too, than searching for new dramas to catch. Variety shows are entertaining & humorous, not emotionally taxing unlike watching drama. Ok so I'm officially on the move to improve my lifestyle! :)
