it's the New Year Eve! And before we know it, its New Year Day! :D haha. it sounds quite stupid. But oh wells... :) With all these unrest in Pakistan and the ice at the polar regions melting and causing sea level to rise and yet Singapore is still floating above sea level, i guess i really have to be grateful for everything. :) sometimes, because Singapore doesn't have much unrest, i tend to take safety for granted. And because there's so much variety of food to choose from, i also tend to take food for granted when there's people in Singapore and over the seas, starving and eating cat food. And then comes to shelter, the bed, the computer we have, and all these cool technology stuff. Although sometimes i look at the beautiful semi-ds and bungalow and i sometimes wish i could just stay there for one night, but many a times i overlooked the fact that being sheltered in a storm in a hdb flat is a blessing. As compared to those who don't even have a proper place to live in... Many times, i complain, and compare. But what's the use of all these? :) God calls us to follow Him just like what Ps Edmund said. And all these things that God has wonderfully provided, it's time to give thanks. :)

As 2007 comes to a close, there's always many reflections made. And i'll make one too! :D well, this year have been quite a tough year for me. Emotionally, spiritually, physically (HAHA). First there was the 1st three months, syf, terms, april concert, june concert, terms again, promos, end year concert. And through it all, God saw me through. :) talking about how i came to ac. i got like 19 for prelims which was somewhere near what qiu rong got too. so we decided to put same choices together! :) at that time i didn't know that if you appeal you have to put that school as your first choice, but actually thinking of it now it was quite logical to do that. haha so we actually put pj first. then don't know how and why, we decied to put ac then pj. and then, michelle tan told me i had to put ac first! so, ta da! thats how i came ac. :) haha God has a plan for me here i guess. And i give thanks :) adapting to jc life, feeling tired everyday. haha i also don't know why i feel tired like everyday. music, haha music soon became ALL of my life. HAHA :D and whatever it is now, i'll just chiong one more year. Through syf, band fest. All these not so good moments, when i questioned God why is it like that. I thank God that He has given me friends in ac, through all these not so good times. Thank God for michelletan! :D haha my half-timetable friend. All the gsc, china studies, math lectures. And also, thank God for preserving the friendships with old friends! One year has came and gone ever since we left bp, but i thank God that these are my friends for life. :) Although one of these friendship kind of screwed up, but I still will pray for her once in a while. And after four years of not having any concerts, this year came 4 of them! :) of which everyone i want to thank God for, for these memories. everyone left different memories, of which i cherish quite a lot. haha :) and also for my family! I used to take family a little for granted, but i now know that it takes quite a lot to keep a family going, and i thank God for He's always there, ever present to touch and heal my family. :) Next year will be a tought one, and i commit it into God's hands.

And to the j2s, i'll miss you guys. :)

rachel soh says.. God will not leave His children alone. :) and hosea 11.. about God's undying love for isreal, like no matter how much isreal sin n how God cannot be with them.. in the sense that sin separates God and men but God cannot, literally cannot bring Himself to give up on Isreal.. so God will not give up on ur family!.. press on sister! love ya.
Yes indeed God will not abandon His children :) and rachel soh, its isrAEl, not isreal. :) thanks girl!

the day Christ was born :)
the three wise men, came all the way from the east to Bethelem to worship Christ, saying 'the King of all kings, born in the most humble place...' because God came to Earth as flesh, there is hope. Hope for all mankind :) Indeed, O night divine. Joseph, Mary, the three wise men, plus the father and mother of John the Baptist, they all served God well.

and happy belated birthday to Evelyn and Rebecca Teoh! :D love you both very much! :D

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D Christmas, ever wonder what does Christmas means to you? :) All the snowman and snowflakes when singapore does not snow, and the santa and christmas trees and jingle bells! I like Christmas! Because this is a season to celebrate the birth of Christ, thus comes the word Christmas i think. :) maybe to many people, its nothing more than a public ocassion and all, but i think to me, it's a really meaningful festive. If Christ did not put away with eternity and subject himself to time, if He did not come down to Mother Earth to redeem us, we would have been really really lost. Today Pastor Edmund talked about forgiveness. Christmas is all God's forgiveness to mankind, to re-establish the relationship with have with Him. What an awesome God. To me, Christmas is not only about forgiveness, but it also reminds me of the great great love Christ have for me and you. That He gave up His throne in heaven, to come down to earth to save us. Who are we, but sinners? But God called us His creation, created in His likeness. :) indeed, we can never truly comprehend fully the great love Christ had for us.

So, this year, this season, why not take a moment to think about how did Christmas all came about and is it really all about santa? Or is there more than that? :)

today wasn't a good day, but it wasnt that that bad either. after a good night rest! :D

i miss china! :(

You are safe in God :)

look at the beautiful sunset! :) and the cute baby! :) when things arent going our way, we can try every possible way to find a solution to it. but, nothing is as good as having faith in God, to trust in Him. trust in the everlasting God who created the heavens and the skies, who brought Israel out of slavery into a land flowing with milk and honey, the God who created the mountains and the oceans, and created us in his likeness, and called us the most beautiful masterpiece He created. after so many trials, one after another, I've learnt that the best thing to do, is to pray and commit whatever te situation is to God. although sometimes, there's still doubt, doubt like will God really see us through? Yes, He will. He say He will never forsake nor abandon us, and He will provide. Just like the Sabbath, like what Ps Edmund say, the Sabbath does not only tell us to rest, but also show us that God provides! :D

You are the one Oh Lord (: thanks for being my refuge! i think going out is great fun! hehe. but too bad, i really HAVE to study for GSC and practise piano real hard! and, i really thank God for always calling me back to Him (:

today is practical day! :) actually i really dislike that feeling of getting so nervous :( after spending like so many hours, like uncountable and then starting to think about every movement that i havve or should make during the performance. blea. i'm glad it's over! quite proud of my gigue! i think it's worse then going for a rollercoaster ride! my heart was pounding so fast, so fast i thought i saw it on the piano keyboard. haha kidding. but blea. so blea. BLEA. :D one more mep paper plus my composition and i'm done! :D yay! quite happy! hee. actually i was quite happy after china studies. this week has been, unthinkable! hurhur. i really saw God's grace in every of my paper. :)

when things are not going my way, know that it's going God's way! :)

trust and trust in Him, with a faithful heart.

HAPPY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY GANQIANQI! :D

"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Deut 33:26-27
Indeed, there is no one like God. no one who loves that much, no one who has so much control, so one so great. Today i realised once again that God is that much! just want to trust in Him in everything. and to study FOR HIM. yep :) not for anything else. :)
and the macdonalds fired me three times in ten minutes today. :(

today is such a -.- day
:(
