Some times we can really feel quite bad about only approaching our friends when we needed help..I guess most of us can identify with that. In my FYP meetings this year, sometimes I can really feel pretty stressed up because of the expectation I have placed upon myself with comparison to progress of the rest. Being a Green Horn in this area, neither train nor remember anything about all the Biology stuff, it can be quite an inertia to do the project. AMongst the midst of all the little struggles are beautiful friends who helped. Two of which I truly appreciate are Suat Peng and Ya Xuan. They are really selfless about helping me. Of course not forgeting Hui Qing who always bring so much joy to us too. Smiles. I guess they really make the difference in my FYP, without their help, probably I would be wandering in my FYP not starting yet.

Just last friday, an amazing incident happened to me. That day was my second day in school doing the project. Being rather caught up with finding the right type of Alcohol Dehydrogenase that Bacillus Cereus is, and thinking about the appreciation CG, and the draft report I had to type, I was very much in a restless mode. At 230pm I actually misplaced my wallet in one of the toilet cubicles of Civil Eng Block N1. I was on the phone then, so i totally forgot about my wallet.

At 7pm, after bidding goodbye to Hui Qing and Ya Xuan, I hopped on the 179 bus, then to realize that my wallet was missing. Immediately alighted from the bus, I headed back to the Lab. Its not there. The two girls were having fun with the pipette tubes and were rather surprise at my turn up. The last seen image of the wallet flashed across my mind. In the toilet... I thought to myself.

I started praying. Every single level's female toilet i went, the wallet was no where to be seen. Somehow I wasn't panicking, I felt this peace. I knew it was the Holy Spirit. I had the assurance that the wallet was found. Yet on the other hand, my mind tells me that nobody in the right mind will not take the wallet since it was with quite an amount of money. Trust God, sze..

Headed back to the Lab, I told myself. Now what? Whats next? The wallet no where to be found, the peace in my heart is there.. so what to do? =) Ya Xuan volunteered to look for it again with me through every single toilet. What amazes me was her patience, her care. Ya Xuan, went every level with me.Somehow during this situation, God gave this friend to be with me. Contented. Of course, thankful to her. Just very thankful. I mean, not a lot of people will go high and low with you. Well, no where to be found, further reinstated my finding.

She gave a suggestion which I never will think of. Email Miss Yang?? Hahaha Seems a little ridiculous to me. Well, I obeyed. I turn on my labtop, and email. I saw an Email

"FOUND WALLET"

Flooded with Joy. God You are always right. =) Everything was intact. A wallet that gone missing for 5hours, everything was intact. Your word is true, You will protect me and my possession. I love you Lord.

CHRISTMAS~!!

Christmas Christmas Christmas..
Sorry Guys, took so long to be back updating my blog!
Yesh Christmas is coming, you are invited to this party.. Last year musical had such a resounding success that 45, 000 people actually turned up, that is, inclusive of public who was informed via the media. This year, the drama team worked hard to put together such a drama as these to bring the original idea behind christmas to the world, give it up for the drama team..

Wanna invite you for this Christmas, if you can why don't you join me? =) Smiles

I dedicate the run to God =)

Nice Run Sze~!! The decision to pick up the Asics Shoes was finalized by the provocation of the unkempt fats and the inspiration from Danny, Jia En, Christine and Lilian. Time to pick up the passion again.. 4.6K after a period of no-run for approximately 2 months. Thumbs up..

The time was 1040pm. The short run started from Hui Mei's house. The first round around the mini estate was energetic, fun and relaxing. The breeze was just perfect. Smelt the forest, the wind. A pleasant surprise to find a female jogger in her late forties running near me, obviously thankful for a pacer and for the momentum in running.

The Lord spoke to me about discipline(behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control). Discipline takes self control but bears forth the desirable results. I always had this thinking that I can run, I am an above average runner, well, that was the pride of a Ex-Basketballer, Ex-Squasher, Ex-jogger, and therefore explains how the provocation works. The Lord impressed upon my heart once again, during this run, that it is the journey that matters more than anything else. I love the end point when me and rosie run our last 100m down the MacRitchie Slope hand in hand donkey years back, I love the perspiration, I love the accomplishment, I love the persistence the stamina, I love the tears after the mutilple stitches, I love the friends who ran together with me like Nicholas (miss u big time bro), cynthia( miss you dearly).I love Cedar, I love the power of Unity, I love the Sportsmanship.I will keep on running this race.

I love this verse..2Tim4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have run the race and I have kept my fatih.

Lovely Princesses~!!

Its a cosy rainy day =) Smiles

Just a wonderful day given by God...

Met Stan this morning for the breakaway camp mascot making. I was just very amazed by his attitude. He cancelled an appointment with friends to Dota, Laning, something which he long desired to go, for the sake of this mascot making session. The decision attributed to one reason--putting God first. Little sacrifices like this do inspire me to love God more. Stan, thanks a lot.

We waited from 1130am-230pm, there to realize that the time had been changed. Went a couple of places, to City Hall, to Paradiz Center, to the Cathay.. without an umbrella, haha, we were freezing cold, a little wet while trying to navigate ourself back from Paradiz to PLaza. It was a fun and simple outing with Stan =)

Onwards, headed to the FYP with Prof JRR. (sounds like Lord of the Rings) A bubbly professor, she brought forth so much life in a restricted area of the meeting room. The discussion brought me done a little when she asked me if I wanted to change a project which I already embarked on for the past 8 months. Unwilling, I persisted on my original idea, and scheduled another personal meeting with her. Hopefully I will be able to start the experiment soon. I am the only one left...*shrugs* Well, shake of some self pity over here, time to buck up and present something awesome. Smiles. Thank God for His presence.

Left for Bible Study. It was awesome. It was about legalism. I enjoyed myself tremendously with the revelations and the encouragement given by God. Well, at the end of the day, its not about how long we pray, how much we read the bible, its about a relationship with God. =)

There was a little sweet someone who bought me Mini Donuts. Simply touched by the little acts of love by this person. Felt doted. Thanks Jo.

Went home with another angel, Hui Mei. Forever so edifying, and always been there for me.
=) Thanks Sis.

Right now.. feeling a little more relaxed than yesterday. Counting down, 3 days more to exams. Unprepared, inadequate, stress, insecure, fear, mixed feelings initially.
A lot of times, we may just very pressurized when we start to compete with another person, or rather "they". "They" already finished studying, "they" understood all the concepts, "they" are better than I...and so forth.

But God has given each and everyone of us a talent. When we begin to do what we are good at, enjoy what we are good at, eventually we will also do well =) Thank God for all things He has done in my life. Thank God for His amazing grace..

Amazing Grace...
How Sweet that sounds..
Who saves a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found..
Was blind but now I see.

Just very thankful for the little miracles He had done in my life. Jesus, thank you stepping into my life. Its transformation that You have given me.
Sometimes it may get a little weary, but there is this strength that propels =)

Yesterday

Guess wad I am doing now? Haha.. Lying on the bed with the labtop on my Lap..
Yesterday something quite scary happened..
Lilian and I were studying in my room.All of a sudden my mum called me. She told me to bring my grandmother to see a GP. Desk bound, work bound, stress bound, I sounded really reluctant and tried to negotiate with my mum for my maid to go in my place. She was furious.I didn't know the severity of my grandmother's condition until I had decided to go to her room. To my horror, she was trembling quite vigorously.I started to pray for her softly, keep on praying..She was afraid, tears in her eyes, and her body still shaking quite violently.We picked her out of bed and brought her to the GP,her condition stabilized as we walked to the Clinic.That was amazing, God answered my prayer!
Doctor says it could be overdose of the drugs that she had taken for her dizziness. The doctor began to explain her condition, and now do I realize that she has parkinson.

Everything went smoothly, and her condition got a lot better.My Dad rushed back from work picked her up tp another clinic, looks like everything is ok now.

This whole incident really struck me. A love one close death, i mean it may not be death, but it just puts me through a greater urgency to love her even more. I know God You have Your way and I am trusting You =)

Carola :)

Thanks for caring for me. heehee
Yesterday, I was pretty much overwhelmed by the stress of studying, 12 days more.. to my exams. Sometimes, people do get discouraged and disheartened along the way, for once I felt like running to a cave and hide. It was just but for a moment...

That very moment, God sent an angel without wings to me. She began to encourage me, at 1am in the morning, she called and spoke to me. She wasn't feeling too good that day, was having a slight fever and a little flu. What amazed me is that sincere love for me. She told me that God is with me, He is with me, when I feel the most alone. I was in tears.. Thank you Zhen. I love you.

MY NEW CHURCH BUILDING:)

Its buidling Fund season :) I am really excited, all gear up for the building of God's house! Haha All of us are so excited! Well, Pamela, Saren and I were just praying together a while ago we began to believe, think and confess. We are going to build a stadium for God, its gonna be at least 15,000 seats in this stadium!! It will be in the heart of Singapore, in the market place, for the market place to penetrate in the market place :) It will be the most spectacular and iconoic structure in Singapore. Whats the reason for a new building? Yes, we have long out-grew the church in Jurong West and we had long decided to put God's money to good use by not renting Expo Hall 8 in a few years time! Smiles. Well, just let me put my imagination to good use. There will be scuptures in this building, thBaere are going to be a Gym, an art gallery, dance rooms, band room, Pst's office.. Oh, there will be a giant Roman Clock Tower, and there will be a very elegant cross... well well well.. i just cant stop imagining. God says He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can think or imagine according the power that lives in us :) I am just so excited.

Alright, its 240am now, time to grab some rest before the dawn breaks. Nice :)

Ordinary day with an extraordinary God

Thank God its Wednesday today! :) Had a fulfilled 3 days for this week.. One Practical exam down~! Felt so good because this time round i really took the effort to study and guess wad.. hehehe it was good.

Haha Today during FYP meeting i kept falling asleep discreetly, not saying that the presenter is boring just that i woke up too early.The day started well with the beautiful pinkie alarm clock ringing and shaking the bed. Well, though beautiful it doesnt work, i fell back to sleep. (Thanks Lilian for your morning call :) )Anyway talking about FYP, i took some time to read up on this funny enzyme named Staphylococcus aureus. During the meeting Prof ask me hows my research, in my half awake mode, i got her to repeat what she was saying for a few times until she got a little piss. muahahah..

The picture above? Yup, I caught him lying along the bus stop of Circuit Road. WOw, what a luxury to lie flat and sleep like nobody business in a bright noon day.. hahah I just thought its quite cute.

Today Tong said something that hit me. He says that we are only using 3% of our brain when we can use even more. Yeah, that broke my mindset. I had that mentality that I was not very intelligient, that i could not do well, that I was lousy...blah blah blah.. Well, today what he said awaken my senses :p

I had a great time praying together with Pam and Saren today. Yes friendship. I really thank God that I have friends like them around. Thank God :)

Yesterday WeiTing said that Robin was diagnosed with cancer. :(
Dear God, I pray you take awake this disease from him. God I know you love Robin. Heal him and make him whole again. I love you Jesus. Amen
