Give me Jesus (:

In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus
Oh give me me Jesus
You can have all this world
Give me Jesus

When I am alone
When I am alone
When I am alone
Give me Jesus

When I come to die
When I come to die
When I come to die
Give me Jesus

It's the last day of 2009! So fast, so fast. Reflections, resolutions and all.

Really thankful that somehow I signed up for the meta camp. I went with a heart, not so much for games (heh) but with some quietness and coming back to God. First day of the camp, I honestly didn't feel really connected to the worship. Not that it was bad or what, but probably my heart was away from God. It showed me something that was quite scary - you can be serving and reading bible daily and all, but you can also be away from God in the midst of doing all these. Shared during cg time that I feel that what I took away from all the workshops and sermons was 1)re-focus 2) renew faith.

It's really easy to be so passionate about Jesus during such camps and then when we go back to school/work life, we lose that passion once again. I pray that I may not lose it. A small flame ignited in my heart may be fanned into a large flame! Also one thing about re-focus, the reason that we can solely live for God. There is indeed a higher calling and purpose for life. About holy living, what that was preached about it's God's sacred trust to us - I find that really meaningful and it actually quite touch my heart that God gives us such a trust.

Do I really believe that God is there? Is He really real? The 'being' is indeed really important. That we may live and know that He is real and He is Alive even though we do not physically see Him - living by faith and not by sight.

So my resolutions for 2010 is.. hehe.
1. Do more scripture memory! Okay, no. Start doing scripture memory! And do the five Ts that Ps Kai talked about.
2. I realise I tend to compartmentalize QT time. It's not only during that time that God is nearer to me or what. Learn to know that the Holy Spirit lives within me i.e. talk to Him about small/big matters!
3. Do readings consistently! Really thank God for this sem's results. Next sem's just gonna be more busy. And really, for marketing - and one business module done!
4. Seek God even more deeply. :]

Also, I was sharing during accountability group time, about the faithfulness of God in my life. This year's definitely saw more tears than before/possibly my entire life. I realise it's easy for me to trust God with things that I could somehow control (such as studies - because usually if you put in work, there'll be results). But for those things that are really beyond your control (such as human relations) it was hard to trust God. But looking back at this year, I think one thing God has been consistently telling me was - God will see me through these dark times and I should rejoice in these times and be thankful in these times! You never know, all these are like the training you're going through before the race. Haha, and it was really aptly summarized in meta camp too!

A humbler posture in life, a higher purpose for life.

This week

Let's do a quick update of this week!

Monday: good two lessons with my kids! I think lessons are mostly good nowadays. Haha :) bought lunch back home and had dinner with my mummy. So happening right! :)

Tuesday: Didn't have hp101 lecture. Muaha. So had marketing meeting instead and it was.. yup. Then went for my grandfather's birthday dinner! And daddy's car tyre got poked a hole. :/ so we changed tyre at some petrol station nearby. And the man was like realllllyyy helpful. Telling us he thinks we put the thing at the wrong place only after we finished doing it. Don't know, had certain feelings after that.

Wednesday: Supposed to have marketing meeting but? Yup. Anyways hl815 lecture was quite interesting as usual. Haha i think the films they show provoke thoughts. Yup that changing man. Haha, always provoke thoughts about humanity and society. Though I dozed off halfway :p was pretty late for dg also sorry! Had dinner with mummy!! :D at xin wang cafe. HAHA :D

Thursday: went to dental, pain. Then went to school for marketing meeting. Yes meeting. And then stayed in free access lab after that and waited for yu yan to come join me! And samho also. Hehe! Tham jie min spent a hello message to my ntu email. HAHA. 7 years of friendship! My goodness, that's long. And it's funny how we talk such nonsense stuff. Haha! :) went for marketing lecture and was rather late! Muaha. And went for My Sister's Keeper at lot one! Watched those kids dance the dance dance revolution (haha not para para) while waiting for somebody to come. Some danced not bad eh! Saw qian hui (reminds me we haven't met for your present!!!! :/) and ling qiu rong. Feasting away in dian xiao er. Haha! Oh yes, stayed up pretty late to do the marketing presentation. I think everyday was about marketing this week. And the movie made me realise yah, how fortunate I am to be healthy, and have healthy family members!

Friday: Amazing how I got to school on time for lecture. But had a tummy ache!! I quite like hypothesis testing for some reason. More than like the normal stats stuff. Haha must start reading like SOON. yup! And then had hp102 meeting. Talk about one more project, and one more hw101 assignment. Niceee. And then marketing.. don't talk about it haha.
And had dinner with tham jie min at sakae!! :D :D :D :D Tham jie min, I know you'll read this part someday when you are bored. Haha! I'm very thankful for a friend like you! :D I think somehow we don't grow up (though we are, as in you get what i mean right) haha! But it's always nice to talk about silly and stupid things as though we are kids once again. Let's chill more together! Muahahaha. And slacked there till near 9pm! Haha. Oh yes tham jie min wore some nice nice shirt also!! Hehe.

Saturday: Today! Oops. Just woke up not long ago :p too tired from yesterday.

All in all, I want to thank God for this week. Certainly, He saw me through this week. I had a lot of thoughts, and feelings that I myself don't even understand. But thank God He knows me even more than myself. Not that I know what I feel about certain things now. But I really want to pray that I will treat others geniunely. Not say like it's fine it's fine and in my heart it's really not fine. I guess yup many things call for reflections and all. And also thank God for His grace that He speaks to me through His words. I guess I come to conclude, that even though things really do not go the way I hope they would, but guess what. God is God. And there's no chance that my plans are better than His right. The word says, all things work for the good for those who love God. It is real. That His love is better than life. And no matter what happens, I want to learn to be grateful. Because they all happen for a good reason. Yup

Thursday

Hello! Guess where I am now :p I'm at............(drum rooolllllll).........HSS Free Access Lab! Muaha, Lab No.1. Okay, please stop stalking me. Haha!

Anyways, yesterday was such a fun, and meaningful day. Had surprisingly enough energy to even respond to my alarm clock yesterday, of which I really thank God because I know this energy came from Him. :) was quite excited for yesterday because of blitz and cg. Haha. Wednesday is my cg day. Anyways, blitz was a good experience, opened my eyes to many things and to see the state of perhaps the campus, or singapore or youths, probably not the world (too gerenalized already) okay. Had a sort of mixed feeling after that, but thank God for the journaling time at night, where i slowly unpacked the events of the day. Better write things down before I forget. (Must associate more things with my long term memory when they're in short term memory! hehehehe.) While writing down, I realised that indeed, it is all in God's plan, perhaps it could be just sowing. Then i recalled somewhere in the bible, it says you reap what you sow, and those who sow with tears will reap with joy (or somewhat like that) and you never know. I came with my own expectations, and perhaps it didn't 'meet' my expecations. But ultimately all that happened was in God's Top Secret Big Plan. teehee! So, i rejoice and am glad for that opportunity to do this. :) Oh yes, and talked quite a little to Charmanie (did I get it right? Sorry, I'm so bad at remembering names. My frontal lobe (haha) is probably remembering other stuff. But my temporal love works just as fine when it comes to face recognition! :D)

And it was Tham's first day at work again at Finance. Hehe! Very happy! :D and today someone so cool, going all the way to serangoon with her colleagues just for crabs! Better kop one crab back for me.

HL815 lecture was thought-invoking. HAHA. Nice time talking about it a little more with Rachel Soh. Thanks for the cookie! :p very nice! Michelle didn't want it so I got the whole cookie to myself yay! HAHA. Went off with Michelle who kindly walked up to North, cos my lecture was there and hers was at HSS. Thanks tan! :D I had a very fun time (though it was pretty short) talking to you too!! And not to say we got seats on the bus!! Hehe.

Trained down to tiong bahru, and overshot hehee. Met ruth for dinner at mos burger! We finished in quite a short time. Haha. And went for cg! Cg reminded me, that prayer indeed is more than talking. Really thank God also, for the celebration for joseph.

I also thank God for bringing various 'new' people in addition to the cg. I enjoy the jokes that the others make. Haha! Though I don't really make much jokes. But they're actually really funny. Hahahaha. And I realised I like cg more now. Not just the people, but also it's a very special time, when you can come and talk with fellow friends who are brothers and sisters about God in this warm cosy home at Janie's place.

The days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast. :)

Tuesday

hello! :) i'm at the hss free access lab now! So today was a cool day, staying at home and sleeping till 9.30am! very long never sleep till after 9am already :/ that explains why i feel tired these few days. hehe. And it was pouring pouring pourrrrinnnnnggggggggggg... Then in my sub-conscious state of mind (haha) i keep hearing mummy talking to me. Haha! I think she wore the new shirt we bought for 25 bucks out today, then she was very happy because it makes her look good. :p

so anyways... pourrrring...haha! Okay the picture isn't my house! Just kopped from the net.


Strangely, when i woke up at 9.30am i felt as if i slept for a very long time. No dreams, haha no rapid eye movement (rem stage MUAHA.) listened to some worship songs on youtube, it's really nice. And then went off to meet rachel to go to school together! Yippee, i wasn't late! Heheeee :D and then did hw101 group work, and saw michelle tan, donica and her friend at free access lab too. Haha there was a guy eating his lunch beside me, can eat in free access lab meh? Anyways, lunched after that. And planned secretive things! Hehe. Tomorrow's gonna be an exciting day. And dozed off a little during psych lecture just now. :/

womberle womberle. HAHA :D okay waiting for time to pass and then can leave school and meet mummy! Yay papa going to fetch us home later! :D

Today's verse..coincidentally. 1 Peter 2:1,2 cg vision/motto/mission (haha whichever it is). Rid myself of all malice, deceit, envy and slander of every kind. Went to check up those meanings at onelook.com (hehe) and.. deceit means everything else except the truth, slander means saying things that may be false that wrongly accuses someone else. Envy means feeling resentful at other's successes. I guess at some point of time, i do commit all this :/ need to rid myself of it! A one time event. :)

I'm gonna learn one page of music one day (hopefully) hehe. Now i'm doing flight of the bumblebee. Tham says there's people who acapella it. HAHA. it's crazy maNz. :p

Mondays off

Hello! :D today i had a very fun day with tham jie min. MUAHAHAHAHA. our cup noodles lunch! Hehe and the boiling water, and then the xiao zhong's FOG. haha it was really funny eh. Nice being at tham's house's dining table to study! Haha, talk about those times when we studied math for As man. Haha! And geog also!! Then we went to ajisen to eat! And jalan jalan a while after that. How excite right! :)

Anyways today was a good day with my two piano lessons also :) really want to give thanks, because through all the things that happened, i think God allowed me to find the joy of teaching/piano back. Instead of doing things just through the motion and finding it not something worth looking forward to (i.e. burden) haha. Yup. really glad :) though the journey wasn't easy.

I can't upload my photos onto the computer. And since i'm such a technology noob, i shall try it later another day when i'm free :p hehe. Yay! Going for a concert on friday. Like finally! Don't know if it'll turn out good a not, given the tchai's no.1 the other time (haha!)

10.09.2009

9.04.2009

Hi there! :) I'm at business library now! haha. okay, feeling so opened because everyone can see what i'm typing. haha! gee. People really do change. Things won't stay the same way as the good oldddd times. And yup, i think it's quite true, keep those past as your memory and 'nutrition' (MUAHA) and move on with life! Okay taa!

7.05.2009

It's so funny how vast the internet can be... and how it makes people more connected, and not. And it's rather interesting to note that, the same thing can be very pleasant to one, and very unpleasant to someone else. Haha, how time fliess. On 1 july, i was really rather hmmm amazed and a little scared to see just how fast time pass. 1 july! :/ okay, but still have to move on. Haha! And to see how people's lives are getting on (my sub-conscious favourite hobby) okay. that's it. bye!

5.14.2009

work can be pretty interesting! It got my friend tham jie min to start planning ahead (not twoheads MUAHA) for her future! See what philosophical statements she can make!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY! :D


NO DREAM, NO GOAL, NO FUTURE

It's funny, how time can change so many things. And how time can change one's character/behaviour or etc. And also how it can make you realise certain things that you used to value are not as important to you anymore. How funny it is.

5.01.2009

Hmm, i was browsing through the profiles of my 'friends' in facebook. HAHA! okay i think i sub consciously have a liking for such a hobby. Anyways, as i was kaypohing with some random secondary school friends' profiles, i realised that we've all almost grown up a lot since last time. Haha, it's funny how time fliessssssssssssssssss by so quickly. And everyone has a life of their own now! Hmm, don't know if i'm saying this right, but i guess life really keeps changing all the time. Probably five years down the road, you'll meet a whole new bunch of people and i don't know. Haha, who can tell what will happen in the future right.

Sometimes, we always see a certain thing from our own point of view and never ever once considered that there could possibly be another view. Hmmm, sometimes we get so worked up over small issues. Most of the time, it is not because of that issue, but because we are restless within our soul, probably something is bugging in our hearts. I don't know why i suddenly write all these down. Haha! but it's fun to kaypoh other people's profiles and blogs :p hehehehehe!

No matter what, i know i will never ever touch a certain kind of lifestyle, this i am very sure. Talking about dreams/ideal career/whatever, i really still don't know. We'll see when it comes! :D

4.30.2009

Hi there! HAHA :D okay i'm at the Youth Hub now. Muaha, just taught 3 teens! And one of them is very funny. Muaha i can't help it then i burst out laughing. Okay and i felt very lazyyy today. Hehe!

4.10.2009

Hi there again blog! I've gotta rest early for psychometric test tomorrow to be in the best mental state of mind! haha :D anyways today's lunch was hmm, rather worthy to blog about. HAHA so i am going to blog about it now! it's the first time i ever see such things happen. fatty sean was so into the pumpkin soup, the waitress wanted to clear it already then he blurted out erm this one still want one. well, for someone like fatty sean it's reasonable! but then it was like so funny, they saw how much he loved the soup they gave him an extra bowl. hur! and it was quite funny also cos everything came all at once, we couldn't see the table for quite some time until everything was cleared. haha! okay that's about it. hehe!

4.02.2009

Hi there blog, I feel very, my heart is full. Hehe :) :) And I honestly like this feeling! :) A feeling of being assured, and secure. Very glad I went to cell today. :) God is a Mighty God, and above that, He is my Father :)

4.01.2009

Hi there http://dorrtxx.blogspot.com. Haha it's been quite some time since i wrote something up here. Well, its like 2.24am now. And somehow days seem to pass so quickly nowadays. It like i wake up for a while, then do some stuff, then the day ended! :/ glad i called R just now. Haha R. somehow told her something that keeps bothering me on and off and on and off. Brrrrr. Don't really like that feeling. And she shared some 'jokes' too. Haha one really funny joke. It's funny, how everyone has a very different life of their own. How human beings are related to one another. How we interact with one another. And how some small actions can leave an impact in someone else's life. Been through quite a lot the past few months, not easy, but it's over and i can gladly say that I really like how my life is now. Haha, can earn money and have my own free time, something that is probably not what you can do at every stage of your life. Scary isn't it, to grow up. But it's true, we're entering the next stage of our lives. Or rather we are already at the next stage of our lives. Okay that's about it. Probably i should get some sleep now. Hee

2.25.2009

What a day. (: I woke up at 1.30pm today!! :/ and rushed like mad for my 2pm 5-year-old kid. On the way, i really wasn't very familiar with the directions to get there. Somehow i can leave from there to lot one, but i can't go there from lot one with like the same kind of confidence. Haha, and yah. I thought choa chu kang primary was that iconic thing popping up, and my goodness, it was how far away. I really felt quite lost eh. Some more i was running late already :/ thank goodness somehow i found the way there! :D lesson was okay! He's really well-behaved i felt. Hehe.
While i was coming out to meet mummy for dinner, there was this big big big big rainbow! :D so pretty eh. It reminded me, of the-rainbow-story. Haha, that's what i call it. I remember God made it rain for so long, i think it was 40 days continuously, to wipe out everyone on earth except Noah and family plus all the animals. And after that Big Rain, God sent a rainbow - a promise to not send such a big rain anymore. A promise that sees God's grace and mercy flowing out. And His forgiveness that is so so great. It warmed my heart alot. Alot. :):):) The rainbow was really big, so pretty. And it's not that i get to see a rainbow everyday, it's been long. And it's such a funny day in my life, that God chooses to put a rainbow in the sky today.

2.23.2009

What a beautiful picutre! :) Oh my, I've really got it all mixed up! No wonder, I was thinking how in the world can that happen. My brain.. seems to be lagging even more than usual during this long break!

Anyways that's such a funny picture. Haha! Teaching is requires so much more studying than studying as a student. I think I'm becoming more and more aunty as days pass. This cannot be! And we shall practise piano more diligently.. I better! Life has been great thus far! :) :) But it feels like a season of life which I've never experienced before. Time has become so much more flexible, I get to choose which days I wanna teach, okay not that I get to choose. As in, it's not a regular time-tabled life anymore. Which I'm still a little not used to, that's why I find it a little disorganised :/ But yup. Its a new experience! :D I like gatherings, and meeting up with friendssssssss. See, I have friends! :)

2.21.2009

:) I had fun today though it was tiring! I really like shopping in supermarkets eh. Though i bought some funny form of satay. Heh. :):):) Nevermind, then people will remember the special satay we had. I like being like that eh, i was telling tham it feels like we're sec 4 all over again! :D Hehe, hope all had fun today catching up with life. And rachel soh still stays the same, so easy to trick once and again. Haha! It was nice seeing all of them again! :) And guan ri made a new friend called meow!

2.14.2009

Share your thoughts... Hmm. This week had been week that expose me to things that i have never done before. I do feel sad at those ocassions, but.. is this all a process of growing up? Reflecting upon life, and the Word.. It's good, because an unexamined life is not good right. Happy things and not so happy things, kind of summed up this week. Taking a step back, looking at life. Okay, this is such an abstract post, i shall stop here. Haha!

You never know what/who's reading your blog! Although i think nobody actually really reads it. Haha!

2.10.2009

I actually wanted to use another blogskin!!! But it turned out weird, so this is my second pick! :) YAY! :):):) hope it's not as common as the previous one. Haha and i forgot to save my c box code again, so there goes my tagboard again! :) Muaha. Get it back some time later lah, no hurry. :) Waiting for march hols to come, to see my psix kids again! :) Hope they're doing well. :)

And i kind of like Bach's Toccata in E minor the Adagio part. It sounds very nice eh. :) Bach wrote it for employment eh. Sounds like that piece's purpose is rather simliar to my life now. Haha :) practise smart!
Hello tan! :D I know your job is VERY tough!!!! Some more you still have english :/ but I believe you are still staying there for a very special reason! :) that you'll grow stronger and become closer to God! :) i hope that everyday your kids will listen to you carefully and that they'll stop playing in class!! :D :D :D

See you tomorrow!! :D Miss tan! Hehe. :D

And i'm sleeping back all my sleep that i've missed since sec 4 till now! MUAHA. :D

1.31.2009

Sometimes, i really don't understand. I don't know, still not knowing what to feel over it. :/ but, since it already happened, there must be a reason for it to happen! A reason that is good, better than what i can imagine. But somehow it still left an impact in my life. The way people deal with things, aren't really very nice after all. Or maybe there are even more important reasons why is it handled this way. But still, it isn't nice to treat someone like that right. I don't know. To say that i am nor hurt by it at all, i'd be lying. :/

But God says, 'This is the day that the Lord had made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.' The very reason of a living God watching over me and loving me so much, is something to rejoice in! :)

And also i am reminded of Job, 'The Lord gave, the Lord take it away, Blessed be The Name of The LORD!' :)

Just need some time to quiet down, and all will be fine! :)

Many things that i've planned, i cannot carry it out now. Hope they get someone who can give them something much better than i can. :) I'll miss some of them! :/

God has a plan, a plan far greater than my plan.

School


Today was the first day of school! I'm not school-less anymore. (: Waited for M outside the school gate, cos i was scared the security guard find me suspicious again like that time. Hehe, and we clocked in at 7am! :D and left at 2.30pm. What a long day we worked!

First day of school was... Funny being a teacher. Playing some games, that were not very interesting with the class, that i scrapped the whole idea of playing games. And realising that asking them to introduce themselves one by one didn't work at alllllll. Failed completely! :( boo.

Realising i should plan more stuff! Actually i need more time to think i guess. Today i had, one hour math, one hour music, half hour health ed, two hours ss. Wow, wonder how did i survive today. Haha

Anchor verse today was jeremiah 29:11. But what was said after that struck me a lot too. From what i remember... It was, you have to seek the Lord, wholeheartedly, and you will find Him (:

Kind of thankful first day of school is a friday! :D let my feet rest for two days and back to work. Haha, monday monday monday! And i have more time to plan! :D The other teachers were nice too. Haha, very funny. They like to joke about their age among themselves. Haha.

And i devised some new ways to help time pass more quickly in class!! :D time had never felt sooooooooooooooo wols. :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................... hooray? hooray!

1.01.2009

Hi blog! :)

It's 2009! Happy New Year to whoever who reads this blog! :D HAHA, oh man, can't believe michelle tan actually wrote rather accurately about things i felt about 2008. So much as happened in 2007 and 2008. It kind of felt like yesterday was just the beginning of 08. So fast! It's perhaps one of my busiest year!

I'm really glad for last night, what a meaningful way to go into the new year. It's such an encouragement to me, a newness that is symbolised by the new year. And i kind of can't believe i'm going to start teaching in like... tomorrow. HAHA! :D It's really amazingggggg how God gave me this job, and plus plus plus - blessed me with michelle tan also. Hehe! Tan, aren't you happy i say this? But its really beyond all that i can comprehend that I have this job now. Everything just feels... so blessed. Really, who am i to deserve all this?

I really want to use my time wisely, make my life a good gift to God who gave me this life. :) feels so funny, don't know what God has in store for me tomorrow!

In 2009... uncover new things about yourself! :) hehe.

Also, 2008 had been a really eventful year. I can still remember the feeling i had when doing resolutions for 2008, don't know if i had followed it. Haha. But i really learnt a lot through everything that i went through. :)

Looking back at 08's resolutions, haha so funny i just realised michelle tan helped me write 08's resolutions and helped me sum up 08. HAHA :) i thought those were rather funny resolutions. This year, i have more serious resolutions that i in fact really do hope to achieve! :D
