Today is the day (:

take me to the sky

10:40 PM hahah im so guai i spent the whole week studying! okay maybe more like doing hmk but not bad already cos i didnt use my laptop (:
accomplished weeeekk: packed house, finished hmk, learnt many lessons in church that equip me for school, ready for school to start!

past few weeks ive learnt many many lessons from pastor. he's amazingggggg! sucha simple verse but he can read so deep in it and draw many wonderful lessons for us.
spent the first night of 2010 reflecting on pastor's msg and setting my own personal goals in my spiritual life this year.
to stand in hope and pray in faith. cos we ought to pray, and not to lose heart!
purpose fills hope and faith fills the power in prayer.


pastor's amazing. he said : as im preaching this word to you now, you might already have doubts.
i was like WOW how does he know man. lol
okay so many many things i wanna accomplish and keep in mind!
[different frm previous one cos this is specifically in my spiritual life. haha]

#1 to always keep in mind this phrase: stand in hope, pray in faith.
#2 read bible and grow in knowledge + read christian books.
#3 bring people to faith!
#4 be a good testimony to my friends and family.
#5 able to articulate my faith and not just a mere feeling.

i want 2010 to be a year of answered prayers. (:

heh im secretly happy that both my SSS and YPG teachers are nice people!

10:18 PM im so happy with myself. i spent the whole afternoon packing the house today with mama! :D:D
although not fully done but i'll cont to pack them tmr.
sniffed in much dust, sweat, irritated cos i dont know how to pack properly, screamed at cockroaches but it feels so good at the end of the day cos i accomplished sth in my list of whatiwannadoafterpromos. another tick!
hahah dug out a lot of things that had been collecting dust for the past dont know how many years.
i saw my sec 2 history file! i almost thought it wasnt mine cos my handwriting changed so much! omgg i think my handwriting then was nicer man. so much neater and it srsly looks like it's printed.
saw my olevels year's work. all the files books and random scribbles of encouraging note from people and for myself everywheree as i thought about alevels next year.
my table is gonna be in amess and i can imagine myself pasting lots of postits on my table wall comp desk bed organizer toilet? lol

the year is coming to an end and i asked myself what have i done.
thought thru new year resolutions, things that i shld have/ shldnt have done this year and how am i gonna make next year better in just a few mins while bathing.

this is what i've come up with:

#1 im gonna be very focus in my studies (this is very broad so im going to break it down.)
- cannot be late for lectures/ tutorials anymore!
- complete all hmk without copying.
- no more sleeping in lectures
- do daily revision on lectures covered on that day
- clear doubts immediately when i dont understand anything

#2 be healthy! i think PE and cca is enough for exercise. need to eat more fruits /drink more fruit juice rather than bubbletea.

#3 more disciplined and spend more time with family. no more random and unneccessary outings/ stayovers.

#4 regular quiet time

#6 be wiser in choices

#5 lead a 24/7 christian life

anyone who finds me doing things that does not satisfy the above pls tellmeeeee.(:
bring it on 2010!

9:05 PM whats christmas without bethany?
saw a guy wearing a watson shirt that says "whats christmas without watson?" and this qn came into my mind. haha
and another time i was walking along orchard road and i came upon 2 people who were giving out brochures about Christ's birth on christmas day. it struck me cos sales are everywhere in orchard and people seem to forget about jesus. this simple thing reminds us of what we are really celebrating for.
so wonderful to spend christmas every year meaningfully in bethany with God's people rejoicing for the King's birth! :D every year i have different things that i would like to thank God for during christmas day. amazing how He has brought me thru one year yet another and still continuing in His work. we celebrate christmas with a special sense of thanksgiving. a true meaning of christmas day and we share it with the world! (:

11:16 PM many many thoughts running in my mind today.

i feel sad when i see disabled people trying to earn a living on the streets.
i dont like rich people who think that everything can be bought with money and boast about it.
i miss laughing out loud.
as we grow older, we tend to be more selfish and scheming cos thats the world.
so many empty promises and i dont want to lose any trust.
i feel sad when people call themselves christians but dont live as one.
i dont like it when people purposely put their joy into someone's sorrow.
friends come and go, but how many will stay?
everywhere, everyone is searching for security.
so many flaws in us, but our gracious God still loves us.
maybe i'll try. for your love
i want to be emotionally independent.

10:36 PM it's back to work again!
1 more week to christmas. 1 week after that to end of year. and school's starting 10 days after that. before you knew it, hols are goneeeee. and you ask yourself what have you done.
i dont wanna look back time somewhere next year struggling with getting a pass for every subject and regreting not spending my time wisely after promos and break down.

hai pai tian xin is getting nicer and nicer!
i like xue zhang's words. theyare those when you hear it, you'll think about it again and go WAH.

[direct translation]
xuezhang to baozhujie: "i want dalang to move out from your heart and not you escaping from him because you cant forget him."
xuezhang to dalang: "i think you're very poor, so poor that you're only left with money and no moral values. money to win girls, money to win businesses, money money and money."

quotes that i heard these few days.

insecurity kills.
many times we chose to do things in a certain way unknowingly due to our insecurity and you'll never know why you did it unless you're constantly conscious of your actions.

the best time to fall in love is when you're emotionally independent. because it is only when you're emotionally independent then you will not lean on your other half and tire him/her out due to insecurity.
your feelings will not be based on emotionally support only and this is when you know your feelings for the person is true and not cos you are insecured. - guan yan

10:34 PM im back! had a very meaningful and eye opening trip at sydney.
very different from the sch trip i went at beijing when i was sec 2. more educational stuff and had reflections every night till late. sounds boring but i learnt alot of things that i can apply to my life.
of cos we visited a lot of tourist places like the sydney opera house, harbour city etc etc and dance classes at sydney dance company.
funnnnn and nice experience i had over there! :D
