Yay i'm back from another fruitful shopping trip with my sis. :D
Accompanied her for dental in the morning and we stayed at orchard to shop!
Quite satisfied with my spree considering that we only shopped for 3 hours.
Bought 4 high waist skirts, 3 dresses, 3 tops, 1 cardigan, 1 backpack & i finally bought my shades!
I'm happy like maddddd. :D
Didn't buy sunhats though. Those that we saw weren't really nice. But australia should have nicer ones so i guess we can buy them there. (:

Went to trim my fringe at the usual place where i go for a haircut, NOT at the stupid EC house.
I promised myself that that would be my first & last time i step into that shop ever since i went for a haircut there and they chopped my hair off with a jagged knife. :/
But anyway. The hairdresser forced me to do hair treatment cos she said my hair was too dry and she made me do the most expensive one which costed $69.80. I don't know if that's expensive or not but i just hope she didn't cheat my money. :/ Stayed there for 2 whole hours reading fashion mags while she did treatment on my hair.

Anyway. I'm soooo not ready for my holiday trip.
I've not started packing a single thing and i have to pack stuff that would last 11 days. :/
Not as bad as israel though. Israel was like 14 days lol.
But still. I've got like lotssss to prepare.
Didn't have time to work on itinerary & stuff cos i had lots of camp stuff to do before that.
But now since yf camp is over, i've finally got time to do some research. :D

Ahhhh i wish my holidays would last forever.
I wish i could stay in church forever.
Being with church friends is always so comforting and that's when i can truly feel happy. At least they don't remind you of school and the stress of reality. At least that's when i can have companionship of fellow brothers & sisters in christ. It's just like having time with God, which is the happiest time of my life. (:

Life is everything we have to go through. Is like a challenge God has given all of us. Life is like a huge obstacle. Living in a sinful world, facing satan's temptations. I'll have to overcome all of these with God by my side, having faith in God.
And when i do, one day i can proudly stand before God with joy and i will dwell in His house forever. :D

It's kinda scary thinking about what i will be after christmas.
I've not touched a single book or homework ever since school closed on the 13th of november. And i've not time to since i'll be away till the 23rd, and right after that is packed with christmas stuff.
Thinking of it, i'm kind of like worried how i'll be able to catch up next year where our new form teacher will start collecting our holiday homework and i'll give her a bad first impression again when i tell her that i've not done any, and then shock my other subject teachers by failing every single re-exam. :/
I guess i'll just depend on God. I'll just do my best to complete everything i can after christmas and leave everything else in God's hands.

I'll pull through. (:

There's a 6R outing tmr but i don't think i'll be going cos i'll have to stay at home and work on my itinerary.
Ahhh that's so sad cos i realized i didn't have time to meet up with them this holiday and i only met up with fellow retards only like once this whole holiday.
But i guess my holiday was still very meaningfully spent serving God. :D

The greatest gift ever is God's love. :D

I'm back from camp.
Kinda tired just now on the bus trip back to singapore, but i'm more awake now. :D
Thank God for a very meaningful camp. (:

I really love christian fellowship.
And i think this camp has definetely challenged & inspired me to be a better christian, a better testimony of God.
Many things i've heard during the messages & discussions, we've probably all know it already, but for me, i didn't really try to apply these truths into my daily life.
But this camp has truly made me want to take all these things seriously now.

Message 1: God will never leave us, nor forsake us.
Yes, God is the greatest God of love. He loves us so much that he is willing to give his only begotten son to die for our sins. God the greatest God of love, who desires to love us.
Thank God for his promise that he will never leave me, that i'm able to walk each step each day with confidence, because i know God will always be with me. And that this promise is everlasting. I will have an everlasting relationship with God.
God i really love You.

Message 2: Love one another as I (God) have loved you.
It's always amazing to know that a God so great can love a sinner like me.
All men are sinners. We are born with sin, yet God still loves us so much.
God has told us that we should love everyone. Even our enemies.
We should never hate. We should love. Even if that person is difficult to love, we still must constantly demonstrate our love to that person. I've known this all along, but have i really tried to show love to everyone?
Everytime i feel like i dislike a certain trait of someone, i'll try to distant myself away from that person so that i would not have to show hatred by the means of action and words.
It's very difficult to say nice things to people that you dislike, people that you feel are being mean to you.
But God said that he who hateth me hateth my Father (God) first. I know that God's always with me and i need no other love. Even if others are mean to me, i'll just have to tolerate.
And i've also realized that even God so great loved us even though we are sinners.
So why not we be like God and love everyone. Even though that person may be mean to us, but we should just love.
Love, is a very important aspect of christian life.
I'll try to improve on this. Lord help me.

Message 3: Your adversary, the devil, prowling around seeking whom he may devour
Satan is all around us, all trying us to lure us into sinning.
But as christians we must never succumb to these temptations. One thing which i felt was really true is that sin is pleasurable. It's so easy to sin, but we must know that this pleasure is only temporary. Real pleasure actually comes when we overcome these temptations and we receive the joy from God. God said that if we have victory over Satan we will reign in God's grace.
God is far greater than Satan, so we must always let God help us, let the holy spirit guide us so that we can have victory over Satan. Many a times i would just let is pass knowing that God will always forgive me. But this should not me the way.
Satan will never rule my life. I do not want my life to be full of evil deeds. I want to glorify God, i want to be empowered by God's grace. In this way i should always try to do the right things instead of choosing the easy way out. Even with my friends, if i ever witness anything that is wrong, i should try standing up for God and doing the right things instead of following my friends.
Let the Lord give me the courage to stand up for Him. I want to stand up for the good. I want to stand up for God.
I will have victory over satan. I'm in the Lord's army.

Thank God for all that i've learnt through camp.
I can really feel my faith in the Lord growing and i really wish to be able to become a better christian. I want to dedicate my life to God.
I pray that God will help me in this.

Devotions these 2 days were also very meaningful.

Leading an abundant life: An abundant life also means a very purposeful life. A life purposed for God. A life dedicated to God. Yes i know there's many things i can do for God.
I pray that i will lead a very meaningful life living for God alone.


AND ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING - I LOVE BGST STUDENTS!
I feel very priveledged to be able to meet the bgst students.
These bunch of people have really inspired me alot.
7 bgst students joined us for camp this time and i'm really happy & thankful that we had this chance to interact with them.
These people come from very different backgrounds & culture - from india, madagascar, myanmar, etc.
and they've experienced a lot in their lives.
They're sharings about their experience missioning for God was really inspiring.
Having gone through so much, their faith and love for God really impressed me.
These people are just really cool.
Even their sharings during disccusions were very interesting and i thank God for the sharing of their thoughts because i've indeed learnt alot from them. Even in their spirit.
There's this guy especially whom i think is just pure talent.
Mandimby is really a very cool guy :D
The music that he makes is really amazing and i just love jamming with him and the yf-ers.
And the bgst students are really funny & adorable too! (:

Second thing i loved about the camp was what daniel calls jamming sessions!
It was really enjoyable making music & singing christians songs with the yf-ers.
I guess it's just different when we have the company of your fellow brothers & sisters in christ.
Singing & praising the Lord with nice music, it's really enjoyable & meaningful. :D
We should definetely have more of this coming. (:

Though i thought the campsite was a little gross - the insects in our dorms, the toilets, etc
but the scenery was actually quite nice! The resort facing the river, sitting on chairs made from trees, lying on the hammocks, watching corinne catching frogs, sitting on the swings - we had quite a relaxing time being with nature.

We had a chance to kayak too! :D
It's been at least 5 years since i last kayak so i practically forgot everything that i learnt before.
But zhengjun & i still survived kayaking without capsizing!
Though zhengjun claimed she capsized when i came out of the boat forgetting to tell her that i was going to lol. sorry. :(
But the mud was really disgustingggg.

By the way, i was really glad that zhengjun was able to come for camp - to get to know more about christ and also to take part in christian fellowship.
But i guess she is quite resistant to accept christ now. But i'll continue to pray for her, that one day she'll be able to come & receive christ, and to clear all the doubts in her mind.
I hoped she still enjoyed the camp despite sleeping through 2 full messages and 1 workshop and having to bathe in the lousy toilet. lol.

Games were kinda screwed. But still, kudos to junhao for all the hard work in planning the games! I didn't enjoy the games very much maybe because my shoes were soaked in the very first game and the 2nd one was mind boggling.
Games on the 2nd day were better. Cockfight was a little fun, but i sucked at it lol. And we had our usual captains ball game that we have during every single camp. ;D
The puzzle system was quite a good idea too. (:

The 2nd night was the third thing i loved bout the camp! :D
Playing hide & seek with fellow yf-ers, jamming with them and talking to them till 3am (90 mins after lights out) in the night was indeed a very heartwarming and enjoyable time.
But we (camp comm) got a scolding the next morning because of it lol.
Really i thank God for this bunch of brothers & sisters that i have. (:

The sharing/testimony time today was indeed a meaningful time too.
Sharing all our thoughts, i realized that our emmanuel yf-ers and friends too all truly love God and wish to dedicate themselves to God. It's really heartwarming to see our faith in God growing together. Before the sharing, i thought no one really enjoyed the camp, but after listening to everyone, i felt that the camp really made a great impact on all of us.
Thank God. :D

Well, the yf camp is finally over.
All the hard work that i & the rest of the camp comm members put in have not gone to waste.
I'm really thankful that i was able to be a part of the committee, that i can serve God in this manner. Even though it might have taken lots of time, and sometimes i felt kinda stressed dealing with all the problems and task assigned to me, but God has truly helped me and i thank God for that. For this camp to be carried out successfully, all the glory is to be with the Lord.

But i think that the camp should have been longer (like at least 5 days or smth).
3 days is definitely too short for the friends to bond with each other.
Like we don't get to know each other deeper. It's kind of like a 'touch & go' kind of thing.
Next years' camp will be longer. :D


'NOT ALONE'
YF camp' 09
7th - 9th dec

"I'm not alone because my Father is with me"
John 16:32b

Okay i'm exhausted again.
Past 3 days been tiring and today will be another long day in church again + when i come back (which will be around night time) i'll have to start packing for my yf camp starting tmr! (:
Ahhh so that's no rest again.
Then when i come back from yf camp, there'll be some more activities and then i'll leave for aussie.
It's like busy busy busy busy busy rest for one day then busy busy busy busy busy rest for one day then busy busy busy busy again. I'm gonna dieeee soon. lol. But it's very fun. ;D

On thursday, my little cousin came to my house again in the morning and i had to play with her.
Whenever she comes, i'll have to go ransack my cabinet for my old toys and this time i found dominoes, polly pocket and my usual barbie uno set. Yeah she had loads of fun playing with polly pocket.
She reminded me alot about when i was her age. But you can imagine me sitting there pretending to have lots of fun but actually, i was bored out.
Took her to the playground in the afternoon and then i had to leave for class bbq.
So i left her in my house and i let her watch HSM! LOL. :D
I wonder how she felt about the show lol.

SO CLASS BBQ WAS.... errr.. kind of nothing much.
Like really nothing much. Except that we got this scary encounter with some guys over the other bbq pit.
Met hazel at the bus stop and we walked into ECP and found only around 8 3F-ers present, when we were already half an hour late.
It was really pathetic. In total only about 18 people came for the bbq.
Cycled with hazel vigi and kenglui and we barbecued, ate and barbecued some more.
Nothing much but i got a sore throat after eating 4 chicken wings.
Went back in the night. :D

On friday, woke up really early in the morning cos we had to fetch 3 of my cousins for the dvbs thing.
My main purpose was actually just to accompany my younger cousins but aunty anne asked me to take care of aaron too, the only pre-schooler there.
Spent most of the time watching the kids and talking to alvin (since he was the only youth there).
And it rained so i got myself all drenched while trying to shelter the kids back to the house from the park.
Jingwen was making a big fuss over it lol.
Btw, playing with aaron is a joy. Trying to figure out what he's saying, talking to him, telling him not to do this, not to do that. He's really cute. (:

Dvbs ended around 2 and i had to rush home as the yf-ers would be coming over to bake.
Elis, huiwen, corinne, junhao & mervin came and we spent the whole afternoon baking cookies.
I figured i knew nothing about my kitchen while figuring out where's this and that. I think it frustrated my maid a little as much as it frustrated me lol. But i'm proud to say, we successfully made 2 batch of cookies! :D
But we could only eat the burnt ones since we had limited cookies. Awww. :(
Sent them back to the mrt around 7 and i shopped around heartland mall to buy camp stuff while waiting for my sister's piano lesson to end. (:

On saturday, woke up early again and went for my guitar lesson.
Packed sushi for breakfast and took a bus down to tai keng lane for the dvbs thing.
Played with alvin's psp which had everything snsd and NO GAMES. LOL.
Hahahahaha but stupid yueda called me crazy when i showed him snsd.
I reckon little boys aren't interested in pretty girls lol. (:
Spent the afternoon working on pastor quek's thank you card and in the evening i went shopping for my canvas shoes. YAY I FINALLY BOUGHT ONE! :D


It'll be a long day in church today.
Meeting at 1 to practice yf song item, 1.30 to practice for christmas musical song item,
and i've got my baptism interview at 1.35pm!!!
Omgggg baptism interview! SCARYYYY!
But i pray that God gives me the courage & wisdom to answer the questions boldly and intelligently and honestly. My parents will be present for the interview! Omg that's double nervousness.
2.30 will be normal worship service and 5.00 will be yf anniversary service.
Leading in singspiration today. (:

Yeah okay i think i needa go to the printing shop to print my designs for pastor's thank you card cos my printer seems to have some problem lol.

OKAY BYE BYE BYE. :D

See you guys in 3 days time. (:

Thursday midnight

I've been thinking a lot about my future. :D

Thinking about school just makes me dreadful.
I don't even want to think about it anymore.
I love the life i'm living now. (:
Such a carefree life. Busy, but at least i'm enjoying it.
This holiday's been packed with lots of church activities.
I don't know why, but being in church, with my fellow brothers & sisters in Christ,
i always feel a sense of warmth & comfort and it makes me very happy.
It's a very different feeling then when i'm with my closest and dearest friends - 6R, retards, secondary school friends.
Though not all of us are very close to each other, but having grown up together, seeing each other on sundays and other special occassions & outings,
sharing the same faith knowing that we all know the truth, you just feel very happy together. Listening to each others sorrows, praying together, praying for each other, encouraging each other, it's really comforting.
Church is just the most comforting place to be in.
It's the place where God's presence is the most significant.
And when God is with me, i have no worries.
Because i know that God is just so great, He does wonders.
No matter what troubles i may face in life, i know God will always be there for me, and that is enough for anything. Because God is with me, i don't need to care about anything else.
Because God loves me, i don't need any other love.
Because God is my everything, i'll live for Him alone.

Thinking about my future after i finish my education, i'll go to work and experience life. Life as a student ain't really life.
Students don't have any serious worries or burdens because life in school is so sheltered.
Our parents provide everything, there's actually almost nothing to worry about.
And as an adult, we have no holidays. Our end of year holidays are gone.
It's just work work work and more work.
But thinking about that, i know that when i grow older, i will depend on God more.
Because as i face more troubles and challenges, God is the only one i will always be able to turn to. I don't care about silver or gold, because God doesn't care about all that.
What God sees in us is buried deep within. He sees our hearts.
And that's all i will bring with me to heaven.
I'm really thankful grateful happy that i have a God so great.
With Him, i have no worries.
And i pray that in the future, my life will be dedicated to Him alone.

I HAVE MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF.
God is my life.
He is everything to me.
Everything i do in my life, is to uphold His name and glorify Him.
I want to dedicate my life to Him.
I want to serve God. I'm born to serve the Lord.

Even the man that i would marry (if i would really come across someone like that),
must be a Christian who loves God.
Who is willing to risk His life for God.
He must love God, dedicate his life into serving God, just like how i would do the same.
This is the most important thing that i look for in a person.
He must be a decent upright and righteous person who loves God more than anything.

This world is not my home, i'm just a passing through,
my treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue.
Angels beckon me on Heaven's open door,
and i can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Thank God for answering my prayers.
This year has been a great year.
In year 2008, my prayer for 2009 was for my faith in God to grow.
And i can really feel the holy spirit working in me.
I guess i've really grown in faith as i walk with God each day. :D

Having been raised in a Christian family,
sometimes i do take God for granted, and sometimes i doubt my faith.
But God really does wonders in my life.
I'm loving God more and more each day.
I'm treasuring Him more and more each day.
I'm knowing more about God each day.

God is my shepherd.
For once, in my life, i feel that dying is better than living.
Because when i die, i go to heaven.
God has prepared a place for me in heaven.

In my life on earth, i won't be able to see my saviour's face.
But i know He is by my side every single day, walking with me.
As a christian, i live by faith, not by sight.

JESUS SAID: "I'M THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME"

Yes, there's no other way.
Jesus is the only way. :D


And one day i know i'll be able to see Jesus.
But i fear Jesus, because i know i'm a sinner who doesn't deserve Him. I'm ashamed.
BUT GOD IS SO MERCIFUL, HIS LOVE IS SO BOUNTIFUL,
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND I CONFESS.

Thank God for everything.
Just thank God for everything.


I LOVE YOU, OH LORD MY GOD.

Ah i almost forgot!
Today's Hikaru kun's 19th birthday! :D
Otanjoubi omedetou Hikaru kun!

YABUHIKA LOVE <3











Hikaru, the mood maker of HSJ. (:

Hello :D
Die die die i'm going for kumon later and i've not done my worksheets yet! :(
Coming on blogger helps me vent my frustrations.
Stupid instructors pressurizing me to do like 4 worksheets per week so that i can complete my whole course by june next year.
Teacher lynn even told me to come like every day during the holidays so that i can progress faster. :X
Omg what shit lah. She think i so free to come every day ah. Wth.
I'm feeling so dreadful now that i've gotta go for kumon later. :(

On a happier note, we're baking this friday!
YF-ers will be coming over to my house to bake cookies for yf annivesary door gifts. I guess it'll be fun. :D
And in the morning i'll be going over to the dvbs thingy to accompany my little cousins whom my mom invited for the camp.
I have 5 cousins going lol.
And i realised that KG & reyca's surname are yamada! Omggggg! :D

But now we'll have to postpone our kbox trip to next thursday. :(
Yeah we just keep postponing.

Oh ya btw, there is a 2pm + Jay international fan project proposed by a girl named Lisa. This is certainly a good chance for us to show our support for Jay & 2pm!
So dear 2pm fans, do your part by placing yourself on the map and join this interational fan project!

I've already sent in my e-mail so do your part too & spread the word! :D

Making a trip down to my uncle's shop to print the camp booklets later. :D

BYE BYE BYE. :D

Okay i'm halfway through my show :DDD
Oh why am i updating you on my progress anyway? lol.

Actually i've been pulled out of my drama world cos i gotta do the final editing for the camp booklet cos i'm sending it for printing early in the morning tmr! Ahhhhh. And later i'm supposed to do my kumon homework cos i'll be having class tmr.
How how how. I can't bear to leave my show. :(
(okay sorry this seems a little too overdramatic lol)

Time now: 10.27pm
Be back at 12 midnight. :D

Lol okay came back from an almost fruitless shopping spree.
In the midst of watching my drama now. Omgggg you're beautiful is a rly nice show just like i expected it to be. :D
It finished airing on SBS last friday!
Chinghan came back from korea last saturday! But she said she didn't watch the show there. :( Aiyo so wasted. She could have watched it on tv in korea and help pull their tv ratings higher! (YES BEAT IRIS! :D)
But i'm really happy cos she bought concert dvds for me & my sis! :D
The next time i go korea, i'll definetely bring huge bags full of posters and dvds home! (:
My next korea trip will definetely be a stalking trip! Stalk eunhyuk & eeteuk at sukira! Omg!!! And maybe go to SJ's dorm! Hahahahahaha! :D That'll be soooo fun!
And i'll definetely go for a music bank/music core/inkigayo/mnet recording! :D
I'm preparing for a stalking mission in korea together with my sister!
Actually we almost could do that this year until my father objected.
My mom initially suggested that me & my sister go on a holiday together, alone (just the 2 of us) because she thought we were old enough.
Maybe next year? ;D
I'll have to master korean language in the mean time!
My sister knows how to read korean already, but we're still not very capable in speaking & understanding. We only know the basics.
So i guess we still have time to learn!

Hsiaowoon hwaiting!


Errrr. okay enough of me crapping.
I'm off to watch you're beautiful!!!
Ahhh jang geun seok jung yong hwa lee hong ki! :D
I'm so exciteddddd!

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye!

Oh by the way, we actually do get to watch iris on kbs here in singapore. lol. (:
