Walked Till I Dropped.

Today after Cell Group Meeting, there was a rainbow outside Yufen's house. And i managed to take a shot of it. I was really huge! God created rainbows for me too!



Bought this "alien" at COMEX. Is that right? Anyway, i had it named. Well.. Haha. I won't tell u it's name. It cost $16.



Thought i could go home after we had dinner at foodcourt. But i was was wrong.. Haha. We went to Sky Garden for a while before we got asked to move because they needed to do some washing. And then, Yufen, Ryan, Joanne and myself went dowm to airport Swensen's for supper. And to my surprise, there was a long queue. We waited till 12 plus before we had a seat. Stayed there till one plus before we headed home. Here are some pictures.







Yufen's asleep. Shhhhh..!!



Why you wake her up?!





Ooh, look at the time..

Sleeping Disorder.

I've been having some problems getting to sleep the passed few nights. Was only been able to fall asleep at around 3am. And then i would be so tired and only wake up at 1pm. I'm trying my best again to sleep early and wake up early. But it rather tough. The nightmare i had a few nights ago keeps flashing in my mind. It's really hard to want to sleep went the dream still haunts me. It isn't the first time a dream like this happened to me. I guess this time it seem so real because i can remember every single detail and place it took place. So, it's really hard for me now. But I'm going to breakthrough from this.

Well, i don't seem to have any inspirations to blog lately, thus, my blog entries are very short. Probably this weekend i'll have more? Hopefully..

Seeking God.

I saw this photo of Pastor and it really impacted and touched me deeply. This photo reminded me also to always seek God first in everything that i do.

He's my HERO.



Sigh, it's so weird not having morning Power House now. And with my brother at home, i've got no peace when i wake up early to do my quiet time. Now, i have to wait for everyone in the house to sleep so that i can use the toilet to pray. It's so unromantic! I want my own room!!

Memories Of Joy.

Went out with my dear classmates on Friday night. And guess who i saw. Paul Twohill. And he looked at me when i was at the control station. After that when the girls and i headed to Hong Kong Cafe, he was there and he looked at me again!! Don't know who's the famous one man. LOL!



Some photos from a few weeks ago...

I'm Tired.

I'm feeling really tired now. Slept for close to 3 hours last night before i got up and headed down for Prayer meeting. After that, went breakfast with Joanne. Slacked at MacDonalds for about 2 hours before i headed home. I managed to take a short 2 hours nap again. But i woke up screaming because i had such a horrible dream. It was really horrible. I can still see it clearly. And now, I'm quite afraid to close my eyes because images of the dream keeps flashing back. It was hard for me to catch my breath went i woke up because i was seriously traumatized by it. I still am now.

You're My Peace.

As usual, i spent the past 2 nights scaring myself for nothing. Today i had my English Oral Examination. Last night i had a tough time getting to sleep. I managed to fall asleep at 12.30am. But lo and behold, i woke up at 1am. I just couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned on my bed. After struggling for 45 minutes, i ran to the toilet and threw up. I know in your mind you must be thinking that this is super 'kua zhang'. But i was really that nervous. I tried to get as much rest that i could in the morning before i left house. Anyway, i was too lazy to figure out how to get to the school even though it's very near my house. So i took a cab down which cost me $4.10. It's alright. The school was really big and clean. So unlike my previous school. I was really early. But anyway, i didn't open my big mouth until it was my turn. I was the 5Th person. It was really heart-wreaking. While i was waiting for my turn, there were 2 guys near me, 1 spinning his pen, the other playing with his IC. Each time the pen or the IC drop, i feel as if my heart skipped a beat. Anyway, it was time for me to prepare. And worst of all, i wasn't able to read aloud during the 10 minutes of preparation. I never heard of this kind of things before!! That's because everybody is in the same room. So weird.. So i only could read silently. At that moment, i was as nervous already. I kept praying in my heart. I think I'm really not smart, got no talent. But the only thing i know how to do is pray. I went into the room. And the moment i spoke, i realised that i had barely any voice. In fact, i sounded as if i had a bad sore throat. I got a shock! All in all, i think i didn't pretty well, just that 5 minutes before that, i remembered that there was a picture discussion. Haha. I totally forgot about that. Other than that, i just kept smiling as wide as i could. To think about it, i think i had fun! Weird but true. Thank God that it was kind of easy. Really thank God for His grace and peace. For once when i left the room i felt that i did pretty good. *phew*

Anyway, I'm addicted to the song i posted. I love it! I keep repeating the song. I can't wait to find the song and put it on my mp3. What an encouraging song!! I've lost count on the number of times that i listened to. Oh well, I'm over the moon now that my oral is over! A load of my chest. I can sleep soundly tonight. And then wake up early to go for the final day of Power House.

I'm so exci
ted to hear something from God again. Through these 2 weeks, i grown to love praying. Really. Because I've finally experience prayer is not a one way thing, but it's 2 ways. Having this walk with God is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Honestly, i wouldn't know where i would be without my beloved, Jesus. I'd probably still be running in the streets, getting into troubles and jumping from one relationship to another. Throughout this few years, i really believe that walking with God is a road of transformation.

FOR IN THE END

DESTINY IS IN MY HANDS

THIS IS MY CHANCE

I’LL GIVE THE BEST I CAN

Jesus, I Love You.

This morning, when i woke up, i was battling against my flesh. I was feeling really tired and i just wanted to sleep more. But thank God that my spirit has become stronger. I managed to crucify my flesh and go for Power House. Once again, it was awesome! I went with Ana. Fantastic girl..! I was really excited to pray. So when i sat down, i prayed, "God i don't just want to bring You my prayer requests, can You tell me what are Your prayer requests?" At that moment, i felt God's heartbeat, "people.. people.. people." Immediately, the Holy Spirit reminded me of this. John21:15-17 "So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs." 16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep." I felt Jesus asking me the same question. And my visions and dreams were refreshed as i continued to pray. Thank God that i went for Power House. If not i would never experienced what i did. Trading sleep for a revelation, SO worth it!

I haven't exactly plan on what to do today. Well, i'll definitely be studying. Oh man.. Tomorrow is my oral already. Last night, i was just thinking about it. And i couldn't sleep. I'm always very nervous when it comes to oral. Wonder how am i going to sleep tonight! Haha.

Here in Your presence, forever satisfied. Take me deeper in love with You.

But God, He Saves The Day.

I didn't exactly have a good morning. It didn't start too well. I left the house with tears rushing down from my eyes. Well, something happened at home. Anyway, i cried while walking all the way to the MRT station. I knew at that moment, i just wanted to enter into the presence of God. The moment i sat down at my seat at Power House. I cried like crazy. I think a bit too 'kua zhang' also. I knew then that i was in God's presence and i could pour everything out. I cried and cried. I took out my bible and flipped it open. I came to this verse Psalm 9:9-10 "The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will be put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You." I realised that as i was in the presence of God, i found my refuge. And, really, that 1 hour 15 minutes at Power House isn't enough! Time flew so fast and i just wanted to pray and be in His presence longer. As i left the place back to home, i felt really comforted. Thank You, Jesus! I can't wait for tomorrow morning again. Even though i have to keep paying for the transport fee, it is so worth it!!

In You, i find everything i'll ever need.

blonde to black.

i would like to add something to my previous post. I was too tired that day so i just entered about Sentosa. One of the mornings, during prayer meeting, this verse came to me. 1 John 4:4 "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." I meditated on this verse throughout the week and shared this verse during Cell Group meeting.I didn't plan to share. But during the worship, this verse came so strongly to me and i knew i had to share even though i was struggling with fear. I have always been fearful to speak in front of people. Well, maybe you will disagree, but i do get really intimidated. In that few seconds, there were so many thoughts that came to my mind. I told myself that i had to step out. If not i never will breakthrough in this area. And praise the Lord!! I shared.

I just came home from prayer meeting a few hours ago. As i was reading through my bible, this verse popped out. Isaiah 43:2 " When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you." What a great encouragement to me. This verse reminded me that whatever situation I'm going through, good or bad, God is always with me. Guess what. I coloured my hair back to black! I look young again!! Black is nice, but i can't wait to do something to my hair again after my exams is over. However, i think can still see a bit of my previous colour. I've never dyed it on my own before, so this is my first time. I think i odd to be proud of myself. After all, I've got so much hair. So hard to colour all on my own. At least there's 95% of my head is black. I hope i can't make it to my examination hall. This Thursday is my English oral already!! Help me!

I'm feeling really tired now. Only slept for a few hours last night. Going to go take a nap first before studying.

2 days, 1 night in Sentosa!

I was so excited to go Sentosa on Friday. I couldn't wait for my tuition to end so that i could faster go down to find Joanne and settle into our wonderful "suite". Well, the room isn't what i actually had in mind. It was at least 3 times smaller than what i thout. In fact, even my room is bigger than the room we had. I had a shock when Ryan and i opened the door. We were like, "tomorrow's cell group meeting how(ah!)?" Well, what you see here is actually the amount of space we have to move about and this is where we had our cell group meeting. But of course the strong, Mr Ryan and Miss Elizabeth(that's me) Moved the beds!



Well, this is the mini swimming pool we had in the resort.



The moment i saw the mirror, i started taking photos!!



Resting on the comfy bed..



After resting for a while, we decided to take a walk at the beach.



Tired of walking already. Took the tram.



We went to the top of the tower and watched the beautiful sunset. I really think that God created the sky for me!



Back to our room, Hexing joined us hours later.

Hexing like so stress hor? Ryan is helping us cook hotdogs. Interesting way he did it. Very nice!



Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, E308's next top models!!



Bored again..




Anyway, cell group meeting was awesome today! No words can express how i feel now..

Alritey, i'm really tired now.

Mice Attack!!!

A mice escaped from the tank today. I discovered it while i was watching TV and a ran 3 feet pass me. I got a shock!! So, i called for emergency. My brother!! He's my hero!



While he was busy looking for the mice which ran into out store room, i was on top of the drawers taking photos of everything. (How helpful hor!)



It finally came out of the store room but still too fast for my brother to catch.



And i'm still on top!



It ran into a corner in the dining room.



But it once again escaped to the living room. And i was laughing away while watching my brother running around the house chasing after that little mice. Haha!!



Mrs Tan heard my laughter and came out of the room telling Mr Tan that his mice escaped.



Mr Tan joined in to catch that little rascal.



Hoohaa!! It was caught! The three of us ended up laughing. So fun! 3 giants catching a mice. Well, actually only 2 cause i was busy laughing and taking photos..



Finally caught!




Had an amazing day. I still can't believe that i only actually slept for about 2 hours last night. And i managed to wake up for prayer meeting! When i came back to Tampines, i was feeling very sleepy already. By the time i reached home, i fell asleep on my bed till 2pm. This is bad.. Going to have problems getting proper sleep tonight. Well, i'm actually feeling very tired already. Shouldn't have any problems sleeping tonight. Hopefully i'll be able to wake up again tomorrow morning! Haha!!

Heartbreaking Weekend.

The last weekend has been rather tough for me. It was fun and all. But my heart was bruised. Well, certain things happened which really broke my heart. Oh well.. I won't be mentioning anything here. I guess i've learnt a few lessons after those incidents. And i really don't want to make the same mistakes again. I guess i've been a fool. Haha. Sigh..

While walking to Palawan beach, our dear Cheryl already didn't want to be burnt..



We decided to bury Hexing.

My dear brother, Wayne, and me!



That's how i feel, when i'm missing you.

My entire body is in pain now. After playing Volleyball the whole day. Was fantastic!
