the adventure of a lifetime begins.
service was pretty interesting today. got to watch two different versions of the skit and i would say both are commendable. reuben forgot his lines and that created some laughter. haha. uncle tzy ren played to the countdown again today. haha. i went to peep at his score and it's a piece by bach. it seems like he heard every violin piece on earth. haha. then he stressed eunice by playing another version of 'great is thy faithfulness' in his mp3 and passed her the score. it's madness. haha.
His strength is perfect-steven curtis chapman I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength but sometimes I wonder what He can do through me no great success to show, no glory on my own yet in my weakness He is there to let me know
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect.
we can only know the power that He holds when we truly see how deep our weakness goes His strength in us begins where ours comes to an end He hears our humble cry and proves again
how apt.
"there are many things in life that we cannot understand. but we must trust God's judgement and be guided by His Hand, and all who have God's blessings can rest safely in His care. For He promise safe passage on the wings of faith and prayer.
there is always hope of tomorrow to brighten the clouds of today. there is always a corner for turning, no matter how weary the way. so just look ahead to tomorrow and that you'll find waiting there the sunlight that seemed to be hidden by yesterday's clouds of despair." -helen steiner rice
so i look to You.

when two negative doesnt make a positive.
met up with the gang yesterday after months. haha. it's been a long while but i'm glad we're still the same. still as lame as ever. everyone's at different stages of their lives and it's really good that the friendship's still as strong as ever. had a hard time deciding where to go for dinner and when we finally decided on subway, we had a choice between suntec and raffles city. haha but clean and i were tired so once we got a table, we just sat right down. 2 against 2 so james called josh for his deciding vote. though he said suntec, we won in the end. haha. cos we were so reluctant to move. the guys needed space for their wives cos they've got new additions to the family and they're like so big. but too bad. haha. sacrifices. the word of the day. met becky there and ended up going home with her 'cos she lives so near. went to the war memorial park after dinner 'cos the guys wanted to jam. haha we were like 'we thought people go to parks only to 'park tor'.' haha i thought that was quite funny. so the girls took the seats and the guys sat on the floor. haha. special privileges. but the experience's truly memorable. one of the rare times when clean brought her cam, we ended up not taking any pictures. haha.
every year, the presents get more interesting and creative. they gave me a year's supply of stationery filled with lol-lots of love. every item in the bag has a purpose and when they made me take out each item, vic and clean told me the purpose of each item. not only that, they wrote a hundred notes of encouragements and verses for me. man, how can i not go 'aww..'? haha i feel the love man. i told them i have more than a hundred days to A's so if i were to read one everyday, it wouldnt be enough. so james told me to read half everyday so that i would have something to look forward to at the end of the day. i was like -_-. haha. trying to be funny la. sure, i'll practise the 3Rs. haha. all part of project 3G anyway. but seriously, how can anyone not love them? haha.
You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God You do not faint, You wont grow weary You're the defender of the weak You comfort those in need You lift us up on wings like eagles.
so i look to You.

battlefield of the mind.
a relatively short week this week considering that i only attended an hour of lecture on tues 'cos of competition. we reached hougang real early and thought it would be pretty empty but no way. several other schools were already there. haha. it was a pretty close fight and guess it's all thanks to Him that we won. it was good to see haowen again after so long, that crazy woman. haha seriously funny. and i'm sure glad cheryl's gonna be back in church this sunday. though we weer pretty outnumbered, guess we did show the spirit after all. we may not have screamed like cj did, but we sure gave our all. haha.
i'm supposed to be doing a write-up on last sat's service learning now. haha ah well, i'm sure mr. loo will understand. the jmc took a video the other day and i must say it's rather hilarious.
when everything starts crashing down and all i know falls to the ground when darkness comes and i can't see You're always there to rescue me
