爱一个人如何斯守到老
怎样面对一切我不知道

Oldies are still the best.
New songs nowadays beat around the bush and hardly say what they really mean.
Just like the young people who sing them.

35days till FYP end.. it's really scary seeing it on sarah's blog.
I'm scared, many of us are scared.
But we can't let our fear stop us nor run away.
We must face it bravely..!

*deep breaths*

What restores our faith in God?
What reveals the Father's love?
What can lead the wayward home?
What can melt a heart of stone?
What can free the guilty ones?
What can save and overcome?

With questions, God gave me the answer I was seeking.
He is whom I have chosen to follow.
He won me over with His overwhelming love and grace. It really befuddles and sometimes even frustrates me. How is it possible that anyone can have so much authority and yet grace at the same time? With one breath, He has the power to take away my life as easily as He gave it. But it's the truth, and an amazingly fact. Jesus is the Creator of heaven and earth, and also the same person who died to save us. But we can't see this truth with our own strength, no matter how hard we strain.

What has God saved me from?
Eternal torment and pain in hell; a place where there is going to be no rescuing, no respite, no hope. My soul, the true essence of me, is what's been saved and has a sure hope in God and the place He has prepared for me.

I'm rebuilding what came crumbling down in an instance.
But this time, I am the one building and I will not allow anyone else to build it for me. (:

Living for someone, to me it means having my eyes always set on that person. No matter what, my gaze is fixed surely and does not have a reason to waver.

This is what I learnt today on the bus ride to school.
I didn't even pray but God knows every thought that runs through my mind.

I will remember;
How all my thoughts that were darting wildly, pulling my emotions and resolutions behind , fell to the ground and laid still the moment my eyes laid sight on it. It was like a revelation. I saw my purpose, my hope and my direction all at once in that instance. The fact that it was him made the greatest difference in the world. If it were anyone else, I would have turned away with weary eyes. Even though I didn't see him, the message couldn't have been any louder.

I'm so glad that my God is everywhere. *(^_^)*

I'm not usually so thick-skinned but I think we all reach a point where we'd really rather receive something necessary if given a choice. The few items below would be helpful if you are thinking of getting me something but have no idea what to get. ehehe! :D

Since you're here already, might as well watch this short vid.
I bet it'll speak through to your heart no matter where in life you are. (:

That's kwek (my blood type personality shifu) and chong woon the freelancer. I don't feel sad or anything now cus I feel this chapter has not closed yet. I'm surely going to drop by sometime for lunch or just to say hi. I had such a blessed and great time there and I'm vvv grateful. (:

Had lunch with snow white lays-san at pasta mania. She introduced me to pizza calzone which is so amazing looking and delicious to boot! must spread the word about it as commanded. :D

Went to school. We both had a very surreal feeling. More so for her than me I'm sure. It was just weird to be in school and having to tune abit back to the 'student' frequency, though the irony is that I had been dying to go back to school a few weeks before SIP ended. hahaha

FYP is here. I will be positive and stop any thoughts that say "wah its so tough and hard to think of ideas" because everything starts from thought. It will affect my attitude and finally the results. So I will be able to do it and conquer challenges well! yea! :D

Let's fly under the same sky!

I am pretty peeved when I see his picture.
I'm angry at what he is doing to her, I want to wring his neck.
But NO. Jesus loves him still *deep breaths* so I can't let my angry get a hold of me.
There must be something I can do.
Why am I being so concerned anyway?
Maybe she won't appreciate it.
But I can't stop this injustice from stirring.
I won't just sit back on this one.

Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my God
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my God
I gave my God my word of honour to be faithful, and I'm gonna
You best be believing I won't be deceiving my God

Song of the morning. (;
When I found myself being hit by depressing thoughts early when I awoke, I remembered Saturday's sermon and PD's words: "I am a child of God, fully acceptable and empowered by the Holy Spirit." In that one sentence, I have my identity, my confidence and my reason to be strong. So I struggled with my mind to really pull myself up out of the pit, and I see that hey, I can do it after all.
Glory is God's. (:

Last daaaay today!
Feel so happy to be in the office hahaha but also a bit melancholic. The people here are so nice and funny and friendly, I would really miss it here.
Right behind me there's a table full of assorted misc items ranging from a bag to Bruce Lee figurine key chains to beautiful earrings. It's our tiny little flea market to raise funds for Khor who is going to India for a mission trip hehe. The funds would go to helping the children in the slums. It's very fun! Some of us brought things that we don't need anymore to sell. And I even wrote a copy and printed it out and pasted it on the wall wahahaha. "Your $SGD 5 can feed a child in India for 1 week. Skip lunch. Please donate generously". hehee! d:

alright, off to enjoy my last day!

Labels: SIP, song, words of faith

I wanna love like there's no tomorrow
I wanna dance like no one's around
I wanna sing like nobody's listening
before I lay my body down

I wanna give like I have plenty
I wanna love like I'm not afraid
I wanna be the man I was meant to be
I wanna be the way I was made

On the way to work, this song just drifted into my mind. Everytime I sing this song, I am exuberant, I am beyond happy, I feel insurmountable and especially loved and empowered. This should be our everyday, we have such a power and love from above and within us. (:

I wrote an Obama post, it's still half written and sitting on my desktop because I had some urgent work to do yesterday and on friday so I couldn't wrap it up. It'll come about soon.. someday hehe.

Yesterday Keith dropped by for his last visit, he had to choose a day when I was suddenly very busy amidst days of doing nothing but reading NY Times and increasing my brain mass of GK (General Knowledge). He said Chris doesn't have any complains and they seem pretty happy with me so.. that's great! Thank God yay last 12th weeeeek! gogogo everyone! Time really flies, we were once so fearful and ignorant about SIP, now its slipping past us already. (:

Today is going to be a great day :D
