A Frozen Snapshot in Time

I am back HOME!!! I must say that I miss Shujun's house the spaciousness and not to mention that it is MUCH cleaner than my house which is in a great mess right now!!! *sigh*

This few weeks have been madness!! its like crazy!! deadlines and projects like nobody's business!! and it is going to escalate over the next few weeks, i am quite glad that i managed to take some time off work (not really cos i still dint managed to get rest at all!!!)

Pastor Phil's word really came in season, its really a blessing!! Expand your capacity, as you go through trials, it is not to make you fail or defeated but to make you stronger- i think sometimes we just needed that reminder again! (: Just feel that everything is caving in at the same time and under pressure, there are so many times that i became a lemon- i became sour and difficult to deal with, there are people that i scream at for all the little things that they do not do right..though i feel horrible after that, i cannot undo the words that i have said. Let's go through the fire and come out as the purest of gold.

AR2223 submission last week- so that is one down for my 6 modules. Not expecting it to be too good, God please help and do something for it cos there is nothing that i can change about it anymore.
5 more projects and there are some quite worrying ones, i think when things like that, the only thing that i can really do is to thank God and to pray that He will take control of everything and turn everythin around for good. One individual submission this week and also a presentation this week as well. Gosh, and conclusion and report writing for the rest of the papers. I hope that the pilot testing tml will go well.

**
sometimes i think about how the world would be a better place when everyone just be more active instead of waiting for the other person to take the initiative and come and talk to us. How good would that be- it would make everything simpler but in reality, people dont do that. You spend half the time second-guessing what the other person is thinking. And what good is an advice when you "ok ok" and turn your back and make your own decisions and contradict what you said you are going to do? Live your life like the words that you preach and tell others, i think that is the best example that you can ever be.

I like what pastor Phil shared today- why is someone full of faith, not because he prays alot(that helps larh!!) but bottomline- cos of a willing heart and a willing spirit. Someone who is willing get things done, believes that all things can be done. Not because of our own ability but the raw faith that it can be done, that Impossible is Nothing (that's why i adore adidas!)

Million and one thoughts racing through my mind. I think that i will just slp on it. Hopefully, projects and job search would be better soon!!

Yesterday we celebrated Jia Cheng's Birthday!! (: Happy Birthday Jia Cheng. The card is very nice right? Credits to Miss Wui An!!! *round of applause* (:

Here is a group pic but LIYUN is missing ): cos she is on Usher duty!! its ok- photoshop yourself in ok?? while you are at it..add also JiaWei and Kenneth! (:

I came back and packed my room cos they are going to do upgrading on tuesday!!! and there are now alot of BOXES in my room and there is like 3 boxes of clothes and like 5 boxes of just my notes and BOOKS!!! gosh..i am starting to think that i dont have a life except for my books and readings.

so, here are even more boxes- note that NOT everything was able to go into the boxes so they are still in the cupboard just that it is lighter so that it is easier to shift!!
And there are some amazing stuff that i found:
1. a Sec 2 diary!! gosh..i cant believe i used to talk (or rather write) like how my cousin sms now..not all the euu instead of you but things like weix and liaoxxzzz...oh man!!! ):
but i also saw how my entries also have a God factor, though it was simple, simple kind of thing but i was glad that God was in the equation!! (:
2. 2005 Devotion series by Pastor Kong
here it is!!! coolness, we read it everyday, there is a page for every day of the year!! (: We love you pastor for doing all these things for us! (:
3. My last year N397 Birthday card but while i was holding it, the tile dropped and fell to the floor and just as it did..both the tile and my heart shattered into a million pieces!! i am so SORRY liyun!!! ):
Here are the "remains" of the tile!! *sigh*
4. my sermon NOTEBOOKS!!
I think that this is imcomplete but there are abiout 12 books (not including my latest 2 which is somewhere else in one of the boxes) and the piles and piles of those that are written on paper. woah..not bad arh?? (: Almost 10 years of notes!! (:
5. OLD old Harvest times
This particular issue is from 2003- that is SIX years ago man!! woah..i am impressed.
I think by the time that they finish with the upgrading and i unpack, i will throw away even more things and clothes. There are like 6 bags of trash, i think i might throw out even more after they are done..and bags and stuff as well..
anyway guitar is safely tucked away at Yanzhi's for safekeeping!! thanks Girl!!! (:
***
God has done it once again!!! gosh..this is getting real scary if you ask me lorh!!! Godly Fear..i was in service and worshipping and this verse just came to my mind:
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
~Isaiah 40:31
and lo and behold Pastor Paul Scanlon just have to show the video- YES, WE CAN!! and i was just listening to it and my mind was a little spaced out thinking about some stuff and this verse rang out!! in my mind was "Oh my God!! God did it again!!". So, this morning i went to service thinking if will see the same video again but it was another one- its like the word was just for a particular time and season and after that, you wouldnt see/ hear it any more. I am even more convinced about the reality of God!! (:
Hiatus as i went to send out the emails of the interview questions to Jav and Jimmy for 5204 project. I think that i must be out of my mind to do 2 MARKETING module together with 2 level 4000 NM modules and 1 level 5000 NM module and not to forget that CRAZY archi module that i took which is totally driving me CRAZY!!! someone help me out of this crazy world!!! I cant wait for this week to be over!!!
anyway, back to what i was saying. I think that God is good!! For both days, i was able to feel the presence of God during the worship during the service and the words that the Lord put into my heart to keep me going on and to remind me of the promises that he has made with me!! How do i live without you!!!
Anyway Pastor Paul Scanlon- HE IS AWESOME..simply awesome!!! blown away!!! (:
Praying that SUN would be well soon!!!!!

ok..this might be one of the last few times that i am blogging from this laptop that has braved the storms of my NUS life with me together. Yesterday, it totally cannot be switched on at all (perhaps, it was God who dont want me to come back and do some stuff on the computer..who knows!!). Today, just just just only, the com was hang and i did a forced shutdown and there when it re-started, the system initiated a disk scan. Oh man, i really hope that it will be able to fight the last war with me before giving up and leaving me!!

Today is THURSDAY, means that school week will officially end today!! lols..its been good, i think through out the week God has been good to me. Tues 4880 presentation, though i was not sure what i was talking about, i think the presentation still went well nevertheless. goody! and got back the results for regulations- i am glad that i passed! (: God is good and we cant deny that!!!

Wanted to blog about last week's service but it keep slipping my mind. During worship this verse came to my mind and lo and behold, the offering message was the EXACT (mind you!) same verse, and i think that this must be a message that God want me to embrace and meditate on for this week:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
- Proverbs 3:5-6

Simple as it might sound- sometimes it is very hard for us to do this. Alot of times, it is easier to trust in our own talent, skills, gifts and abilities because these are the things that we know "works" and sometimes when we get too "smart", we begin to think that we can do alot of things, we begin to think that we can solve our own problem. But the truth is, there will be a day when it is something that we dont understand or comprehen, there are things that no matter how good we are we would never be able to do.

TRUST, this word is all over tomorrow's 5204 readings. what is trust to you? what you think about this word? Simple as it might sound, i think that all of us have different definition for it. What does it mean to you to trust?? I think this really call for a humbling of our hearts, saying that God, there are some things that we cannot do and we believe and trust that you will direct our paths.

This verse is indeed timely in the different areas that I am asking God about recently. Sometimes and i think alot of times, we dont see the hand of God moving in our lives, it seems like everything is bumping into something else, we think that nothing is working out. and that is when trust comes into play. When you dont see the hands of God, you got to trust in His heart.

**
God, you know what are the areas that i need your directions. God, you know what are the things that i am asking you for directions and guidance. For things that is not what You want or have in store for me, i ask that you close ALL those doors but for those that are Your plans and direction for me, You are the one who will make things happen (I will not kay-po and try to do too many things on my own). So that when i look back, i will know for sure that You are the one who arranged and direct the happenings and the paths!! God, in everything that I do, let your name be glorified!!

But God, where are you leading me to from here?? Sometimes, waiting is the best way to humble you- and i am slowly learning that all over again! (:

well, afterall, time is God's way of stopping everything from happening all at once. (:

Hooray!!! Sun has done it again!! She accompanied me through the times that i am stressed out with the assignment that I had to do and ta-da, its done!!!

So, one thing cleared and I have to conquer 2 tests and 1 archi mockups before moving on to do the 4880C presentation for next week. Doesnt sound too bad right?

Wrong!! cos every week the work piles up!!! sigh..readings, projects and assignments!! I think the only way is to tackle things one at a time!!!

Gosh, i cant wait for friday where i can meet my cell group and sat for relaxation!!!


before all that, i have:

4 more classes and lessons
2 tests
1 presentation
2 tuitions
1 project meeting
2 interviews to conduct.

I think somehow not listing the work out might be a better idea hor???

*ponders*

ok..i think it is the time i take a break after 4 hours of working on the report after leaders meeting and take a shower before i embark on the uphill task of trying to study for tml's test! man, i am hungry- all the work is draining energy out of me!!

God, i really need your grace and mercy!! and well..not to forget good memory and understanding.

***
Something random that perez sent me this afternoon but quite funny!!! hahahha

here you go, enjoy!!



Anyway, i was just bathing and thinking how this time last week i was still on the bus back from KL- IS IT JUST LAST WEEK?? i cant even remember the feeling of having a holiday. AUSTRALIA IN MAY- i pray that this will become a reality!!!! :)

off to bed le bah!!! nights

孔雀开屏好风光
谁看一眼都赞叹
可最后一时的炫耀
成为别人装璜
穿甚麽才最漂亮
赢到一路上的目光
可一旦病倒最在乎
还是情人探望

逃出博物馆
活着不是一场展览
感情要放在橱窗
我们不希罕

女王蜂不敢当
满足谁欲望
奇花更不敢当
只带来麻烦
我们美给谁看
美感跟感动无关
爱得盲
金不换
金不换

只怪珊瑚鱼太灿烂
本该逍遥太平洋
可最后给谁带回家
像布景般观赏
甚麽色彩的花瓣
才让惜花者来高攀
可素着脸才看得到
蜜蜂们的心肠

我不靠羽毛斑斓
变成别人的襟章
美如名画好风光
只招惹拥有狂

女王蜂不敢当
满足谁欲望
奇花更不敢当
只带来麻烦
赢到了谁夸奖
跟快不快乐无关
好时光自己尝

: : 不敢当 : : 梁静茹 : :

静茹的快歌并不多, 而我也不是一个喜欢快歌的人,但是我喜欢这首歌!! Enjoy!!

The mid-sem break came and went just like that, time just zoom pass like that. gosh and to say the truth, what have I accomplished? Nothing much i would say, nothing much, i think that this is already one of the most productive day of this week- i did my AR2223 Readings, NM 4880C readings for week 8 (cos i am presenting) and NM 5204- 1 reading and i went to give tuition and came back. So, so much for my productive day huh?? sigh

I was reading Joshua Harris Book (I Kiss Dating Goodbye), its a good book, everyone should go and read it, plus its easy reading- nah, it doesnt make you feel like becoming a monk or a nun, it just helps to put everything into perspectives. So people go read that book!! it will bless you!! So now, i am reading his 2nd book- Boy meets Girl and NO it also do not make you feel like falling in love..seriously if all books have this kind of effect, the education sector dont have to worry so much (so..nothing much is going into our brains!! sigh!!)

anyhow, not here to promote the book but yearh, everyone shld read it. Anyway, i like this line in Josh Harris book that make me go "wow" he said that his dad said that: Time is God's way of preventing everything from happening all at the same time!! yarh..he is talking about the concept of time, but not just in the area of dating but it make me think about our lives.

Think about it, you spend a basic 16 years studying- at least I did and right now i am at the threshold of graduation, where hereafter, i would no longer enjoy the luxury of sleeping in and sleeping late. There is no more THREE months of holidays and there is no more "i dont feel like waking up today" and just not going for class. There are benefits that you enjoy as a student that you no longer will enjoy once you put your foot into the tank of working life.

As much as i do not really want to dwell in this fact, every day that is being spent remind me of the fact that this is not far from becoming a reality. Everyday you hear people talking about looking for a job and going for interviews. There and then, you realised that the society is cruel- we live in a world that is subtly elitist without us putting much thoughts into it. Companies are looking for people who are either First class or Second Upper, does it mean that those who dont do as well are not good? No, i guess, just that they failed to meet the basic requirements. Welcome to reality, this is sad but this is also the truth, it is better that we accept it sooner.

alright, this is making me sleepy..off to bed!!

Just as you thought that the 終極 series is over, here comes 終極三國, of cos it has got sth to do with the 三國 that you are familiar with just add lameness and lots of DUH! i think this is what you can get from this show. I dont think that there will be much of FLH..so if you are in for that, you will be disappointed, i think they just going to 客串 for a few scenes that kind larh!! but got 修!! hee..oh wells..there are just too many shows to catch and too many tings to do..so this show is for another time lorh!

**

Anyway on a happier note:

F.I.R平安合體 破拆夥傳言

F.I.R傳因不合拆夥、戀情高調而不發片,三團員28日下午「合體」出席新生命小組教會舉辦的「228平安演唱會」破除傳言,飛興奮說:「我們知道建寧老師壓力很大,一直為他禱告,他說有感覺就要來,一切是上帝的安排。」事實上,陳建寧高中時也是基督徒,出席這場聚會,讓三人變成了基督徒超級天團。

公婆猛要孫 王婉霏得生對發片,飛兒坦言當然急,但她更希望作品能達到飽和滿意再發。因昨演唱會主題是和好,劉田井宏和王婉霏夫妻很幽默,直言公婆猛要孫子,還說「明年不生,就不幫你帶小孩」,兩人笑說:「我們兩個要靠孫子和爸媽和好。」

此外,林俊傑因高中就是教會領唱,他的創作能量也都來自教會,這回重回教會他稱是神的暗示,因他走到哪都遇到飛兒和劉田井宏,他馬上答應出席。

憂鬱症痊癒 高一秀感恩昨最感人的是阿妹前經紀人高一秀的見證,因她曾罹患重度憂鬱症導致肝腫大、腹肌水等症狀,她一度放棄希望,還傳了簡訊給阿妹「我不能繼續陪你打拚了」,最後她信了上帝,除了憂鬱症痊癒,連失眠都得救,台下許多人感動落淚。
