Enjoy The Ride.

Life can be like a rollercoaster ride, can it? There will be moments where we are at the highest and we have the full view of the world. But we can be at the lowest and it takes time and a lot of effort to reach the top again.

What is your perspective of life?

This year has been passing by too fast. But it has been like a rollercoaster ride for me as well. Times when I feel that everything is going well, but there were times that I find myself at the pit. I guess in a rollercoaster ride, there’s always a thrill. And I’ve experience some of my own this year. doing things that I never thought I would do. What a great experience.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.  - Diane Ackerman

Cradle.

In a blink of an eye and we’re in September already. I still can recall the time when I was just setting my goals for the year. Well, some I’ve achieved and many I haven’t.

Ever since UT3 is over, I have been doing nothing but having fun. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not since my PP poster is still yet to be done and my presentation date is drawing nearer! Gosh! Actually, it’s in 2 weeks time! I have to start to doing already! Throughout this period, the friendships i have are strengthened and I’m closer to those friends around me. I am truly blessed to have these people in my life. They have been adding so so much joy and laughter to my everyday. And I’m looking forward to the many more years with them.

I’ve been sleeping late recently. Bad lifestyle has returned.

It has been a tough month for me. A lot of stress, a couple of down moments, but there were moments of happiness.

God Thinks Of Me.

Psalm 139:17-18

“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.”

Isn’t it amazing that God thinks of us so much? His thoughts towards us are always good. Who wouldn’t feel love by Jesus if they knew how much He thinks of us?

UT3 is drawing closer. And my PP presentation is coming up after that. I’m not prepared. I’m nervous and worried. Never felt this way for a long time already. But I believe that with God, I will be able to get through this season. I’m going to do well!

In the midst of saving . So many things I want to get. Hopefully I will be able to get it by the end of this year. But my focus is on a guitar. Can’t believe I’m saving so much to get myself a guitar. I think I will never ever spend so much on myself! But I totally love the guitar I laid my hand on the other day. And I really want it. My aim is to get it by the end of October.

Haven’t been feeling well lately. Physically very tired even though I haven’t been doing much. Time to get healthy and fit.

 

Sugar Rush.

 

It’s officially holidays. Actually, not really. It more of study break cause UT3 is in 3 weeks time. And this round, I’ve got to do well.

The past week has been very stretching for me. But everything was worth it when Chui Laam was happy when the CG celebrated her birthday yesterday after CGM. That gives me a sense of fulfillment.

Time flies, people come and go. And ultimately, you’ll know those who are true. They are not just there with you when there is something in common or just in good times. But they are there in the lowest times. They give you that special assurance that they are always there even when there’s silence. That’s a friend that will stay through your life. I’m glad I found such friends.

The Greatest Is LOVE.

It was a great weekend.

City Harvest Church’s 21st anniversary.

These are the 2 most amazing people I know. They truly are my hero. I don’t know where I would be without the both of them and the church.

It really breaks my heart to see the both of them so tired, losing weight and so burdened.

This weekend was really a demonstration of what Love is all about.

City Harvest Church is where I found my home and family.

Thank you Pastor Kong and Sun for all your sacrifices for the church. Thank you for you love. I love you both too!

Move Along.

It has been quite an adventure lately, I don’t think that the adventure has ended also.

Picked up many life lessons lately as the days and weeks passes by.

One of which is that Love is all about giving without expecting anything in return. So many times when we give, we always have a motive of receiving something from that person. It may not come as a material, it can come in many other different forms. But ultimately, we give because we love.

I’m enjoying my latest toy so far. I was told that Blackberry connects people, I thought that was Nokia. But it’s true. Blackberry really makes people closer! Funny, but true. And ever since i got mine, I can’t seem to stop using it. Twitter, Messenger and all the different applications. Even though it is definitely not as many as Apple, but it is enough to get me hooked! Honestly, I personally feel that Blackberry and iTouch is the best combination someone should have. I am blessed to be one of such people.

It is funny how time flies. I was fellowshipping with my members after service one Sunday. Oh, Chui Laam and I found joy and pride to be 21 this year. During service Pastor Zhuang declared that we were born in a divine year, the same year as City Harvest Church. Even though I have always know that the church and I are of the same age, I never thought of this. And now, I can proudly say that I’m turning 21 soon! As I was saying, my members were sharing their age and all. I realised that they are so young. Fifteen to seventeen years old. I was fifteen when I cam to church. That was so long ago!

I’m really looking forward to my holidays. I really need a break from school. 3 more weeks to go and I can have my long awaited rest.

My White Gadget.

Do you like my new toy? Cause I love it! (:

Not In Reality?

I recently watched a movie called She’s Out Of My League. Well, I guess it’s something like Beauty and the Beast. Quite a nice show; funny.

Wonder if this happens in real life.

Thanks For The Memories.

A few months ago, I met an amazing group of people. Never thought that they would mean so much to me. I learnt a lot from them. Now, I just wish that we could go through all the tough times together again. Times which we struggle to count during physical training, times of shouting the timings, the”fragrant” of all the sweat, all the blue blacks and bumps, all the ‘5,6,7,8’, all the ‘1,2 down up’. Those were the days. Don’t you just wish that such days will never end? That’s what I’m feeling now. I wish Parade of Schools never ended.

Last Sunday, we had our appreciation dinner at Bugis. Though it was the end of something, but I believe it was also a beginning of something.

The 3 artist!

It has been a long time since I last caught a movie. Last night, watched The Karate Kid together with Michelle, Gwendelyn and Yunting. I must say that the show was not what i expected. It’s a 5 stars for me!

During the movie, I really caught something, you can say revelation. Jackie Chan’s character said something like this,”It’s one thing to do nothing, but a whole other thing to be still.” And I suddenly thought of what the Bible says,”Be still, and know I am God.” And I’ve always wondered what being still means in this verse. Now I know that when we go through storms in life. It doesn’t mean that we trust God and do nothing. Instead, through the storms, we fix our eyes; our focus on God. Faith is not passive, but active. And I want to be a “Karate kid” in the kingdom of God. Times when we’re knocked down, we can choose to get back up. Times when people say that we can’t do it, but God says that we can!

The Way That I Like It, Hot!

5 days of Asia Conference was amazing! I wish it could repeat itself again.

And now, I miss trainings. Feels weird to be at home all the time now. Weird that my shoulder isn’t hurting, weird that I’m not doing crunches before i sleep every night now. Miss those days. Looks like I will be putting on weight from now. I’ve been eating MacDonald’s for 4 days already! Feasting already!

 

 

Doesn’t really feel like holidays since I’ve got lots of assignments waiting for me to start on. And I’m only left with 2 weeks to complete them.

A Bigger Me On The Inside.

These past 2 months or so have been very challenging, in a good way of course. My capacity is being stretched so much. But through this period, I find God’s strength even more present in my life. I wouldn’t be able to make it through without Him.

The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is my strength. And I begin to meditate on this. We so often use this but I really wanted to know what it means. And as I was praying, I had a revelation. This strength only comes when we are happy serving God. Many times people serve and serve and end up getting burned out or worn out. That’s because they don’t enjoy doing what they do for God. In every commitment, if there is no happiness, then it is just plain duty and routine. And eventually, it will not be able to achieve the intended purpose. When I got this revelation, I began to find joy in the things I do for God. Even though it may be tough and overwhelming at times. But the thought of God smiling over me makes me want to do even more for Him. And in whatever I do, I don’t want to work so hard that I forget the ultimate purpose of it.

Next week is Asia Conference and I am so excited! But beyond the excitement, I want to have a touch from God. Cause I know excitement won’t last, especially when I am tired. But spiritual hungry will last. Just like in real life, no matter how tired you are, you can feel hungry. In this Asia Conference, I believe that greater breakthroughs are coming and I want to be ready for them!

Looking forward to my 2 weeks school break. Time to recharge again. Going to make these 2 weeks of break a fruitful one.

Nothing But Trouble.

April has not been a very fantastic month of me. So many things happened and I don’t even know where to begin. In any case, it just wasn’t a good month at all.

For the first time, I lost my handphone! I realized it only during worship in prayer meeting on Sunday. Honestly, I wanted to cry but too many people. So i held back. I guess, there are things inside that really means a lot to me that makes my phone very precious. But it’s gone now. And since then, I haven’t been using a phone. Feels weird.

Bruises are increasing after each POS practice. And I think i sprain my wrist. It hurts like crazy now. It’s 4 weeks away to Asia Conference. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I need to get my abs or least get my stomach flattened by then. I don’t want my fats to be running everywhere also. Got to be really discipline in doing my crunches everyday.

For the past 2 days, I haven’t had a proper meal. Ate only a hotdog bun, 5 fishballs and a small packet of chips in 2 days! So unlike me! Just totally lost my appetite and craving. Not me right? I guess, it’s also a good chance for me to lose some weight!

Physically, I’m really tired. But I’m hopeful that May is going to be a better month for me!

“God, I pray that Mompy will get me a Blackberry 9000 tonight!”

Plastic Surgery For The Best?

The news is out! One of my favorite models, Yoanna House went for a plastic surgery. Personally, I like how she looked before. But well, she still looks great!

If I have the money, I think I will want to fix my nose! Haha.

What is your stand on plastic surgery?

My Heart Goes Bang Bang Boom.

It has been a challenging year so far. But God is good!

Well, it’s back to school for me last Friday. First lesson and i was already struggling. Maybe it’s because I’m doing something that i don’t enjoy. But I’m trying to like it. Hmm.. You can’t actually try to like something right? So, I’m just trying to do my best in what I am doing. And I don’t believe that I cannot do well. Especially when it comes to programming and Java!

It has also been a very tiring past month, physically tiring, due to all the POS trainings. Never thought I would be doing this again. I am enjoying myself. Muscles are developing. Don’t mess with me! Loving each training! Well, I never thought that I would be someone who will be in cheerleading. But now that I am, I love it. But I doubt I will join my school’s team. But if there is a chance, I would love to be a part of it. I never thought that bring up a stunt can be so tough. It looks easy, but it’s not.

R&R

After so many years, I finally took a short trip up to Phuket. Left on Wednesday night and came back on Sunday morning. It was tiring but had a great experience there.

This is my breakfast on the first morning! I love hotel breakfast! Well, I was too lazy to take the photos for the rest of my meals after this breakfast. Oops!

Went to the highest point in the city and managed to capture some pictures.

I’m so glad to be back in Singapore!

So Long.

It has been quite awhile since I last blogged. Have been rather lazy. But anyway, I caught Kidnapper today after work. Seriously, I did not expect it to be this good. However, because I have a very weak heart, I was covering my eyes and ears most of the time. Can’t stand the sight of violence. I must say that Christopher Lee can act! He was simply brilliant in this movie. He portrayed the character and each emotion so clearly and I felt engaged. So, bravo!

I’ll be flying off to Phuket tomorrow night. Can’t wait to come back for Easter!

My holidays are passing so quickly, can time slow down please??

Looking at my expenses in my iTouch this month, I realised I spent a lot! But this also made me see how God has blessed me! I am BLESSED!

My Second Home, Arise & Build.

The big news has be spoken. The great news that all of us has been waiting to hear for the past 4 years. And last weekend, we all heard it. Our building is at Suntec!

Suntec has got to get ready! City Harvest is coming to break the walls down in 12 months time!’t

I can’t wait to give into God’s kingdom! Believing for even greater breakthroughs during this season of giving and sacrificing!

Week Of Morning Prayer & Bad Gastric Flu.

This past week was an amazing week of morning prayer. I’m so glad that i am able to make it for the first round for this year. I wasn’t able to attend the previous few because i had to go to school. What can I say, waking up early to pray is so much better than waking up for school! Oops!

Throughout this whole week of morning prayer, it really made me think about certain things. Like being thankful and counting my blessings. Personally, I feel that these are so important in life and growing. So many times we take things around us for granted. Example, the air that we breathe, our parents, our education and even the country we live in. I am so blessed that I have parents that love me and provide for me every day, living in a country that is safe. There is so many things that I am thankful for when i begin to count my blessings. The little things and the big things. Even things that many times I don’t take them into consideration every day. I am blessed!

Gastric flue hit me on during the start of the week. My stomach hurts all the time. When I eat, it hurts. When I don’t eat, it also hurts. But Chuilaam passed me a medicine yesterday that I feel that it really effective. Now, my stomach is back to normal!

School’s Out, Welcome Vacation!

Finally, the school holidays are here. I’m through my first week of holidays now. I’m so happy! UT is over, Year 1 is over! I’m really thankful that for both Semesters, I am in a class where I have friends who are motivated. It really encourages me a lot. They make learning everyday so much fun!

Chinese New Year! It felt so weird this year. Was doing visitations on the first day. Was at the last house for the day and I wasn’t feeling the festive mood. And I realized that I never ate a single Bak Kua that day. So I was telling my cousin who was beside me,” I know why I got no feel already! No Bak Kua!!” And in 2 seconds, 2 plates of Bak Kua started marching towards me. My eyes were glowing! Haha. That made so happy! Now, Poppy has also brought home some Bak Kua for me! But on top of all the yummy snacks and the great feasts, my relationship between my family and relatives grew stronger. (:

After a long month, I finally caught a movie today with Chui Laam, 14 Blades. Half the time I was reading the subtitles! But all in all, it was a great show! Catch it!

A Time For Everything.

I guess in life, we go through different seasons. A time to do this, a time to do that. And sometimes, there is just no time at all.

A time to mug

A time to slack

A time to work

A time to rest

A time of giving

A time of receiving

A time of sowing

A time for reaping

A time to step out

A time to withdraw

I’m now in my time of mugging. Exams are packed this week till Friday. And after that would be a short period of resting for me. Year 1 of poly life is over. Got to prepare myself for the challenges in Year 2.
