posted on the E290 blog (:
thought i'll "borrow" it on my blog for memory sake! (:
this poem was written as a collaboration PROJECT by genghao and huijie (: by saying project means haha, i'm sure there'll be more right? (: i thank God for your faith and love for Him (: deeply encouraged! (: keep rooting deeper in Him! (:
I will ride on Your wings, and let the strength of your flight bring me through all things
Lifting me up without a worry, for it's for freedom that You set me free
Through the fog we'll fly, through the deserts we'll pass, for I know that Your kingdom will come to last
So let me follow You for all my days, reassured that You'll light the way.
I'll conquer the valleys and I'll scale the mountains, with you I'll be the rightful champion
My sanctuary's found in Your heavenly arms, for it's my only eternal calm
Even when my faith has wavered and I'm fallen from grace, it's Your name I'll always embrace
For You know my every thought and my very soul, in You I'll always grow.
You are the Way, the Truth and the Life, in You my love never subsides
In times of lack, and when I'm deprived, I won't worry 'cause it's You who provides
Use me as Your vessel, and rest assured it'll never be hollow
For Lord, You are the captain of my ship; wherever you steer, I will always follow.

Sun's note
I believe in pursuing dreams.she's one really tough cookie.
I believe that every journey you take, you find people who will jump on the bandwagon, and others that will try to kick you down.
I believe that divided opinions do not always equal right and wrong.
I believe in the heart more than the outward.
I believe in love.
one that admits her frailties because of the situations she faces and goes through, but yet never veers off track from reaching her destiny that God has for her.
woman of God.
*strive to be like her! <3

Dear Beloved of God,
Because of Christ's Love, I pray for peace. Peace that passes all understanding. Peace that fills every corner of your home, ever corner of your heart, every corner of your life. I pray for comfort. Comfort that comes through the assurance of God’s great love for you. No matter what, no matter when, no matter why. No matter what you have done or will do, His love will always be there.
A love so powerful that He gave up his heavenly rights and position of power to become utterly vulnerable and totally dependent so that He would be able to say without a doubt that he understands fully what it means to not be able to meet all his needs through his own works.
I pray for the gift of earthly hands, feet and voices that bring tangible evidence to you of that great Love in practical ways.
I pray for the grace for you to see your world through Christ’s eyes, so you can see the gifts he pours out daily as a celebration of His great love for you. May you know Him as...the God who sings over you and with you in Joy. The God who rejoices over you and with you. The God whose mountains and hills break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of His fields clap their hands. The God who walks beside you, delighting with you as He directs your every step.
May you know Him as.. The God who compassionately comforts you as a Father in all your troubles. The God who strengthens your inner man by His Spirit that is always with you. The God who is your strength, your refuge and a very evident and present help. The God who is your shield and protection when you are under attack. The ever present God who is eternally your peace.
God Bless You Richly
In His Love
Ps Stephen & Angela Goh

a prayer from global harvest that i felt was in season for someone. i wonder if she'll read this, but i guess, prayer works in realms that we cannot see.
more stuff from GHN
Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.juz a suddenly thought.
i figured the way to go about this issue would be to constantly bless her. to give is to love. if i can love her and not stay neutral towards her, it opens us up for greater meaning and peace. one more thing added to my prayer list (:

after a flood of posts last tuesday..
i ran outta things to say x)
but seeing that a week has almost past since i last posted, here's smth for you to tink about and erm haha enlighten me if you can x)
well i was thinking about it.
let's go through this hypothetically (:
person A and person B are both Christians. say they're both actively serving God and loves God. now, A and B are tangled in a sticky situation against each other. and in the situation, they both start claiming God's promise that if God iz with them, who can be against them; and that the Holy Spirit iz with them to help them. BUT, problem iz God being constant in both A and B. and yet, A and B are against each other. who wins? who will God side?
does it go to the one who's stronger in faith?
or the one who wants it more? and fights for it more?
or iz the coin tossed and done according to chance?
so to the other, God did not show Himself true to him? but which God iz faithful all the time.. so the only person to fault iz the person himself? so they didnt ask enough and didnt fight for it enough? that's what i'm leaning towards now though.. hmmm.
food for thought.
if you're wondering why i suddenly thought of this, i suddenly outta the blue remembered an incident back in sec4 badminton. juz a few matches prior to my knee injury. and i rem vividly it was a match against PL x) we were almost neck to neck. and PL cheered that girl on with "the Lord's with you!". but.. the Lord's with me too! i wonder who got the win in the end...
i lost that time, but this time i will ask and fight to win.
oh, one more thing.
smth i found on FB again. this was quite some time ago i tink x) forgot from where (:
Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

i've counted my costs.
weighed my options.
and i know it's worth it.
[edit]
i juz came across this 8secs ago!! and counting! x)
Some times its not easy... but its worth it in the end =)would i consider last week a roller coaster week? maybe.
shifted into the new place. it's colder and i'm catching a cold soon i tink.
havent been having good sleep for the past week. waking up in wee hours of the night for no particular reason, and waking up earlier in the morning. broken sleep iz still not as good as a whole night straight through sleep til the morning. my health behaviour change iz being compromised!! haha x) oh well. but i guess it's worth it. better than staying under totally unliveable conditions.
went jogging finally on thursday morning after a longlonglong while. and age iz catching up on me i tink. i tink my right leg's muscle iz imbalancely toned. so it's straining at my knee and it doesnt really feel all that good. i'll need to change sport soon. like seriously soon.
andandand,
i'm whaling :D
GEEX.
[sorry i couldnt resist it. haha whaleeeeeeee!!!]i came across smth else too!! no link but oh well. worth quoting x)
Leadership is not a game. Leadership is not about fame. Leadership is a Name --- Jesus Christ.no other name but the name of Jesusssss (:

interesting article (from naddie as usual!! :D)
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914321,00.html
There are two key predictors of a resilient relationship, experts say: mutual support and a willingness to sacrifice.
Gottman says he could predict which couples would blossom under stress: those in whom, years before, he had observed better communication and more mutual support. "Even at the time of the wedding, the men were more respectful of their wives, prouder of them," he says.will i become someone my husband can be proud of? i tink i need to work on that (: i shall start now cuz i tink i've got a longlonglong way to go! x)
Beyond respect and pride — and even love — it may be the willingness to sacrifice that leads to a lasting marriage, according to researchers.proves the first point! apparently researches have been done and scientific studies are usually erm most reliable? iz it? x) i tink so!
Studies at the University of Denver, and colleagues found that the willingness to forgo personal interests and put a partner's needs ahead of one's own was directly linked to a long-lasting, happy marriage — provided that such sacrifices weren't damaging or one-directional.terms and conditions! (: mental note.
"You've got to know that you actually do better if you hang in there."what doesnt kill you makes you stronger (: roughing it together i tink iz the fun part of a marriage, knowing that you're going through storms not on your own because you have your spouse with you. and solely because you know that with him/her, it's better than doing it yourself (: and because you know that going through it together breeds itself a stronger bond on its own (:

not sure when you'll read this but i'm sure you'll read this nonetheless.
i'm not sure what made me say what i said earlier today. extra information not needed to be known?
but anyhow i always thought and believed this hand that life has dealt me has made me mature faster than what normally would. and i still believe so. that in it all, it's a blessing in disguise. and that knowing that God iz still in control. i'm still holding on to that slim shimmer of hope, that God can turn things around the day they come to know Jesus. and that God will always and always be true to who He iz.
juz like another global harvest message said:
I trust in divine order, knowing all is coming together for greater good.and i'm starting to tink i know why God made me fat :p
A quilter cuts and sorts dozens, or even hundreds, of shapes of fabric before creating a quilt. If I were to look at all the loose pieces, they might not seem to have a pattern or purpose. But after they have been sewn together, I can see a colorful design appear as a beautiful, durable quilt.
I may not always see the coming-together of the pieces of my life at a time when much is happening. Yet I trust that divine order is always present. Spirit is at work in the details of life.
As independent as activities and surroundings may seem to be of one another, they blend together in an intricate pattern. And even when I do not see evidence of good taking shape and emerging, I trust that it is there. Divine order is present in my circumstances, and all is coming together for good.
extra padding so that i wont hurt nor feel that much pain when i fall. considering the fact that He sorta made me that teeeny weeeeny bit clumsier than others :p

realised i haven been posting much.
some quotes from juz one person on FB. apparently i cant really recall how i know this person. but i have half a mind to follow this person's profile. he's the creator of that global harvest group: (Pst?) Stephen E Goh
The Christian is a person who makes it easy for others to believe in God.Because it juz occured to me that our main role of repentance iz for God's kingdom. [Ps51:12-13]
Love Is a Realityjuz friday, i attended a lecture and the lecturer asked us to define what love iz to us. i said love iz God, but in fact. love iz a verb. it's an action. an action of giving, one of sacrifice, of total embrace (:
Love is not an emotion. Love is not a feeling. Love is an action. You can have all the right feelings, but without doing anything to express them, what good do they do? Love is more than sympathy. Love is doing what it takes to help people.
These things have I spoken· unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.( John 15:11)and because love iz a verb. if we love people, and help and serve them, only then will we truly experience that fullness of joy that God intended for us to experience.
Your joy is full when you are helping or serving others. Your joy is full when you are giving. But when you are all wrapped up in yourself, you lose your joy. Forget about yourself, start loving other people, and your joy will be full.
(this last one iz a little hard to grapple with)
Immature love says I love you because I need you. Mature love says I need you because I love you.and at the end of the day.
can you say you've loved maturely?
almost like a difference between physical and emotional love.
and i still wonder.
[edit]
but actually, when i come to tink about it. i guess there's always a right time and when's not. like a time to be serious and a time to be yourself. not that being serious isnt yourself. i guess it all depends on the circumstances and situation. PLUS. celebrities are not good examples to liken either. because for 1, celebrities never come across to me to know what they're honestly doing most of the time. 2, celebrities are a little pampered? and 3. paparazzis are but juz earning their living. so yupp (: i'm not afraid and there's no need to hide anything whatsoever. because i know i only need to fear Him and only Him. (: izzit really that hard to have a good friend of the opposite gender and not be misunderstood?
ISSUE RESOLVED (:
thanks BFF (:
solution: time.

Not so long ago,
i was invited to join this group called Global Harvest Network in FB. considering i'm in aussie, i'm considered to be global right? haha x) so yeahhhh, i've been receiving like FB messages that some turn out to be not so relevant. but having the mind to leave the group.. i received this message and i decided it's but juz messages. and it does spark off that little bulb in my brain at times too. so why not? (:
Make a difference where you stand.so yeah (:
The gift of time is at your hand. Live your dreams and dream out loud.
For dreams are allies, make them proud! Have your say and live your choice, Listen to your "inner voice" There is no thing you can't do. It's always, always up to you! You can't depend on your judgment when your imagination is out of focus. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor. The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people. I'd rather be a could be if I cannot be an are; because a could be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has been than a might have been, by far; for a might have been has never been, but a has was once an are.
there's so many things in it that's bolded, that i might as well juz bold the whole thing (:
it's all up to me (:
to be a could be and a has been (:
not a might have been.

i found PAC-MAN on the internet and i've been playing it all day long!! (:
watched transformers last night and it was super action packed. so sad can! ): but i shant spoiler lest my BFF comes after me :p i shall post more after Sunday (:
anyway, few quotes i chanced upon on FB again!!
Good Leaders Are Good Followers. A rebel at heart will never lead anybody in the Church. To be a good leader, you have to be a good follower. Those who want to do their own thing will never lead anybody, but those who know how to follow will soon become leaders. You have to get in line behind someone else before others can get inline behind you!uh-huh (: being rebellious in nature iz so not going to make you a disciple of His. to be a shepherd, you gotta learn to be a sheep. and if you dun have your own shepherd above you, how could you know you're actually in the right track? (: it is never and will never be a one man show (:
one apple a day keeps the doctor away.haha den i chanced upon this too!! :D HAHA interesting (: if all the doctors in the world at handsome, there would be no more need for apples. LOL
BUT, if the doctor is handsome, throw the apple away..
recently..
i was thinking..
wouldnt it have been nice if i was born blonde :p

first of all,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENUFF! (:
you're getting all the attention everywhere now. cuz it's your special day. a day that only comes once a yearrrrr. and the day that you officially enter the big 2 zone :p i wont be joining you soon. THANK GOD. haha x) enjoy your dayyyyyyyyyyyyy! i'm sure it wont be as bad as you tink it would be. but please remember to have a birthday cake and make your birthday wish before the day ends! (:
okok.
time for Wicked quotes! (:
den again, i only remember 2 of them. bleh!
ohoh, i juz learnt how to use the quote thingy cuz dt 'taught' me how. and yaaaa! for the first time!!! :D
the truth iz not fact or reason. the truth iz what people agree with.i guess this iz why sometimes false truths are still truths too. it's kinda true that the truth sometimes isnt actually what's right. which makes sense when they say the truth hurts. and in that, we're actually talking about the absolute and real truth.
dun wish, dun start.really true? i have been thinking for quite some time already. and though sometimes it feels as though we could take things from where we left off. i still cant get over the fact that i did that previously. i wished i could turn back the clock to right the wrongs i've done. but i guess i shouldnt wish, i shouldnt start at all. because i know i've missed your turning point in life, and you missed mine. we're both totally changed individuals, whose paths still cross but never would it head the same direction again.
wishing only wounds the heart.
-------------------------------------------------
i guess for now, i'm still enjoying my holidays (:
didnt go the road trip doreen, jisun and friend planned for. feels kinda relieved that i'm not going as well? instead, i'm rotting at home.
few things i need to do
- change my flight ticket
- see a dentist
- call helena and rick
- buy a printer
- tuesday night transformers movie! (:
- thursday filming with my lecturer (:
- saturday meet raello and jun
shall hope Keith will be able to plan for me to head over to his place to help him clean up his place or smth! sounds like smth fun i could do with my time (:

HAHA
i juz chanced upon this on FB.
love this once i saw it.
If you love her, peel the 2 prawns for her. If she loves you, she will give one of the peeled prawn to you. - Zhenxian's status
some people juz have really interesting stuff on their FB status and walls. it's really interesting to actually read them at times. and you'll never know perhaps they could actually kick some sense into you.
amanda faith being herself has really good ones as well too (:
most of the time it's really profound that half the time i cant grapse the underlying meaning.. but here's some (:
* sometimes the smartest things, are the most simple
[proven with the following]
* either live the life you love, or love the life you live. period.
[no other way to make the most outta life! (:]
* so many people have a heart for God, but they miss the heart of God. [revelation. now you know your focus]
* time to abstain from food and drink that's bad for the voice.. after i'm done with this chocolate bar :p [resist chocolate? NEVER (:]
* God doesnt have a sadistic interest in proving us wrong: His interest lies in showing us the real truths, and making us right with Him [that's smth to ponder on]
* many are called, few are chosen, and even fewer are found faithful. And there is no greater honor than being called 'faithful'
[well done my good and faithful servant, natalia? (:]
* the Bible is your mirror, the Holy Spirit your conscience, Jesus your ideal. and God your sovereign judge. not other people
[there ken! conscience! (:]
* suffering is not a random hit from a sniper's rifle [HAHA:D]
* things dun always go according to plan, but sometimes the unprecedented is juz better, cuz while we may lose control, He never does [yupp, it's fun-er that way]
* we always learn more when we are teaching and imparting than when we're listening to someone else speak [teach and learn!]
* of cuz people go mad trying to prove/disprove God's existence! one juz cannot comprehend an infinite being with a finite mind.
* the size of one's church/CG doesnt matter, if the size of the people's faith, God-dependence, and hearts dun increase [totally]
* sometimes the things we frantically search for, are really just right under our noses (: [stop searching and start EMBRACE-ing!!!!]
so yeah,
juz some of those that catches me (:

quote from ben's blog :p
i know i'm plagiarizing now but i tink it's really good.
plus ben seems to have this section in his brain that does all the thinking (: or maybe he's juz receiving alot of revelation. which iz good. so ben! :D you're higher than us in thoughts! or at least us refers to me :p
_____________________________
insights of ben(Part1)
We live day by day so comfortably, doing our own things not knowing that we are polluting the air and killing the Earth. You realise in the early years man did not worry about this problem until only recently when they found out that global warming is becoming worst and if it's not made aware to the people the earth is going to die.
I read this scripture in Mark 8:34-38 and it kind of portray the same thoughtWe live day by day so comfortably with our lives doing our own things.
Working so hard and getting everything that we want. Not knowing that we are losing our soul as the days go by. That you begin to see that we will not worry about this problem until when the time is almost up, when we are on our deathbed. For global warming it may seem irredeemable but still people are trying their best to reduce it. For our souls, you realise it's never too late to save it, but why wait till old age to realise this. Why not start now?
_____________________________
insights of ben(Part2)
Mark 8:18-21
"Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?"
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They say to Him, "Twelve"
"Also, when i broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven"
So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"
Having eyes do you not see the miracles that God has done around you? Having ears do you not hear the testimonies around you? Having a mind, do you not remember what the Lord has done for you? When you are in difficulty always remember what God has done for you in the past. Know that what He has done for you in the past He is able to do the same today, because He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The question ultimately lies in whether you believe that God is a good God. If you do then how is it that you do not understand? How is it that you do not understand that God can provide you with a miracle? If you believe that God is good, even when you start to doubt, fight against it, tell yourself I DO UNDERSTAND. I DO UNDERSTAND that my God is a good God and He has a great plan for me, a plan that will be implemented at the right timing, not too late nor too early but just in time.
_______________________________
i wish i could tink like ben.
depth in thought and actions.
i need depth.
_______________________________
that aside, i was bored and revisiting chuan's dead blog (:D) i decided to do the quiz :p
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
being a problem solver iz the best thing to life (:
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
really? sounds like a typical answer.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
that iz if i could find that one. there doesnt seem to be any tips on finding him arent there. plus, who's not afraid to commit so long you find the right one...
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
(: BUT, it's IF you meet the right person. DUH.
Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
woots! unusual! (: i thrive on the unusual! (: let the unusual happen!
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
hmmm, who doesnt want a secure job?
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
good words. maybe i should stop thinking the negative side to psych. yeah..
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
yupp! dun need noone to tell me i'm pretty or i'm strong! (: it's inside! (: den again, i'm not afraid to be me. the happy laughing-out-loud me :p
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
i like the word mature (: but i hope i can say this iz true! (:
LISTEN TO MY HEART!
