Reviewing the past week

YEAH AH LU IS BACK =)!!
I got a good feeling about this. Thank God for the protection over him when he was overseas these 3 weeks, there was indeed journey mercy. Just very thankful that God has brought us closer together after this trip overseas.

Met up with Jia Jia quite a few times last week. I felt really blessed. I love talking to her. Her contagious laughter and her joy not only gave her the strength, but it added colors to me. I am just so proud of her for always being so bold, and sharing the gospel with her friends. JiaJia, thank you for being so honest and so trusting in every conversation we had. I really appreciate you loads dear sis =) haha Do you know that I am also very blessed by you? I learnt that I must take greater initiative and also be responsible..Tuesday we were on the phone with one another. Wednesday went to visit Bing Bing together and Friday we had dinner together with Kun wu, Yun Bo and Qing Hua. Saturday I met her in church again. Hahaha.. what a Jia Jia Week.. Even when I go for visitation, I saw Jia Jia Liang teh.. (laughs)
Jia, thanks for the help you have rendered. I love you =)

If ever Bing Bing were to come across this entry, I want you to know that I am so proud of you Bing. You are such a strong man. The Lord will heal you. Have faith. By His stripes you are healed.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9 And they[a] made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see the labor of His soul,[b]and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors.

Soo, thanks for the textBooks!! =) Determined to start chionging my assignments soon!! KiaSu Singaporean. SOT is coming soon. I need more grace!! Grace to finish my FYP experiment, report, EXAMS and also finances! An exciting season I will be in soon =)

This week a lot of unusual things happened. Challenging issues concerning relationship and comunication. Sometimes rendered me helpless. Communication is vital, especially so with the need to deliver the right message across. A misinterpretation or representation of communication results in misunderstanding sometimes even frustration. Thank God that I can learn to communicate better. Zhen, thanks for teaching me so many things.

In the service this week, Pastor preached about the need to be Urgent and not procrastinate. Ambivalence can kill all my success. He shared about the need to be disicplined. He also shared about the need to save up. The tanglible presence of the Lord during worship has once again convinced me that He restores my soul. So recharged. Your presence just strengthens me and encouraged me so much.This week could have been less better without His grace, yet God is faithful. EVery single day, He walks with me. Says who that it is not tired, but who cares when there is only one person to please, that is the Lord All mighty. All thing has been done is just for the approval of one... Jesus.

Job 8: 7 Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

God, I want to walk in Your open Heaven =) !!

to Love, to give, to serve..
Was inspired by Jo to love people around me more. Love them, enourage, and appreciate.

A closed door

Some doors meant to be closed can never be opened. Yong Siang will know what I mean..
I rather be the doorkeeper of your tabernacle, a servant to the house of the Lord.

My deaarest Lab Partner Ya Xuan, the very caring and patient gal I have mentioned in my previous blog posts!!
The trash bags are mounting up.. Ur Hmmm... Mr WL please do something about it!!
This is the funny lilian with her organic carrot which cost $2.30!!
Experiments in lab until 8+ yesternight =)

Went home with lilian. She told me to openly declare the desire to get attach this year.. Don't keep picking colony because whoever is interested in me will think that i am busy with picking colony everyday. I almost died laughing..hahah. funny Lilian. the whole journey keep introducing names. I wonder whats that for, not as if I will go after the names mentioned. A girl, still chooses to be pursued.

Memorable Easter Weekend

Thank God for the tremendous Grace last week, without You i don't think I could do so much ridiculous things.. haha.. this post better not to be read by the other sCBE friends. Else they would have fainted on the spot.

Last Monday I was down with flu, cough and sore throat, it was so bad that I even lost my voice. So for then, I wasn't able to go for tuitions. Yet that very monday Shan, Pam, Saren and I went to vist Resi and Megan to meet for a dinner at Serangoon North. They made it happened, a wonderful dinner with the group.

Tuesday I was at home for the day, still not feeling well, in the midst of trying to find out the superfamily of the lovely enzyme! I was feeling all giddy and unwell, until I decided to visit a doctor. That day I totally lost my voice. It was terrible being a "man". I can't sing for almost a week. Oh well, thanks to JiaJia's lovely advice: Drink Celery Juice and Jia Jia Liang Teh! No doubt the antibiotics had a horrid smell, I managed to finish the whole course without vomitting =)! Still manage to pray with the rest at night, it was awesome =)

Wednesday went back to school to do FYP, and invited the china friends in school for East and night went for visitation with Danny.

Thursday went alone back to visit the kids after school. It was a great trip with Megan.
Friday Morning, i went to help out in children church. Friday afternoon went to Expo for double Easter service. Reached home at 11pm.

Sat morning helped out with children church again. Saturday was the most interesting day. That day I went to Resi's house to personally fetch her. Stayed for double service in Jurong west with the china friends too!! wow.. Reached home 10+pm

Sunday morning cab down to Serangoong North to bring Sharmini, Anishsh, Prima and Govin for church. Stayed for the last service, cab them back and went for tuition at night.

An accomplished and fruitful week. The drama in Expo was really fantastic. It was so good and tears don't even well out, they flowed straight upon visualing the whipping of Jesus on the cross. Adrain as Peter, reminded me of my weakness and the promises I had made to God. I couldn't help but identify with the things that he did. Yet Jesus said, on this rock I will build my church that the gates of hell will not prevail. I couldn't help but recall all the words that God have spoken to me before. All the things acted were the ones I had heard from God all these years, it really ministered to me. Jesus is so real.

I was on my way home, on the quiet lane along Toa Pa Yoh. I recalled the scoldings I got from my Dad the very same day about not teaching my sis English. Felt a little affected, discouraged. God I am tired. I heard His words: it is unto one person you are pleasing, unto Jesus. Tears flowed continuously. Looking at the undone design assigments and the FYP, I burdened myself with unneccessary worries until the refreshment in the soul by the Lord. =) I am determined to do well for design, go all the way for it. Sze, I believe in you.

Lastly thank God for

On the Monday... =)

Long long time since the last blog. Few weeks I guess.Whats been happening? Millions of events raced across this short period of weeks.
Talk about yesterday, should I.
Started with a tiring morning, when I practically pulled myself out of the bed. Why the weariness? Probably its because of lack of exercise. Its time to start the shuttle and engine going.. Sze got to start running.. =) Smiles.

Headed faithfully back to the Lab at 11am, although a little late, yet was just in time for the start of the double digestion of my plasmids. =) I can't help but to share that God is truly showing favor with man, my mentor. To the rest, he seemed like an unreasonable, mean fellow, but to me, he is really like a big brother. I guess his intentions were misread the times he upheld his principals-the Spirit of Excellence. A detailed person, meticulous at all times. Firm, sometimes cold, yet at the same time brought forth a genuine concern for all of us, his disciples. He totally trusted us, to that he has no doubt about our skills, which I was totally amazed upon his sharing. Somehow I feel that he is one kind fellow. Thank God for such a kind brother he has placed to help me. Hahah Wang Liang, thanks for your patience over my mistakes. Because you gave us room to make mistakes, we grew.

Well, yesterday that gel that I ran slipped and broke, as a result, I went back and redid today. Nonetheless still thankful.

Went to visit Bing Bing with Yong Siang and Jia Jia. Finally, we made it there. It was good seeing him smile despite all the medication he was under. He is one strong man I know. Bing, I am so proud of you. Really feeling fainty, when the nurse drew back the injection and I saw the blood in the syringe. Feeling nausous. I bet he must have felt the same way. I believe in healing. God, I trust in You. With You, all things are possible. =)

The fellowship with the 2 lovely people stirred me up to love God and His people more. =) Yong Siang and Jia Jia, thank you for the encouragement and your time. SMiles.In deed, when we fellowship with one another, we walked in the likeness of Christ.

I also wanna say, Resi, its really great knowing you. You are one great sister. Thank you for always sharing your life, trusting. I appreciate you a lot. Govin, thanks for helping me with the photocopying.. =) Heehee.. Without you, it will not have happened.

Dear God,
thank You. I love you. Smiles.

Danson's Baby Shower!! =)






HappY 1 mth Birthday Danson.. Finally this lovely boy is a month old.. Wei Ling is such a courageous mum =) So is Saren. I will never understand their patience, their love and their sacrifice. It really takes a lot to be a mum, as such i would like to salute these two lovely friends. I went out with the 2 mummies and and 2 babies to Toa Pa Yoh last friday.. Hahah It a hilarious side being seen with two big prams alone outside the shops while the 2 mummies were in the shop bargaining for cheaper baby clothes.. Motherhood for Sze? No no no... not yet.. I can't imagine. Need to change nappies, prepare milk for them, stop them from crying.. oh well.. Smiles.. I will still prefer to be the onlooker of their lovely possessions.
