I left the house to do some "grocery shopping" after W300 left my house. Thank God that Melissa was free! Wosh! It's been long since I went out with her. We were supposed to just look through the prices of some sweets and etc for my ministry and who knows that we ended up buying food and playing in that so called wholesale store. Oops.
We headed to Jurong POint later on to buy her dinner. Well, she accompanied me to look for Sharon's and Michelle's(POS) presents. The poor girl stayed with me till 830pm. Ohh..Hahs! Nevertheless, I enjoyed her company!
PS: Xuan Yu, I have yet to reach my study hours..hmm..3 more hours..I will complete it!

Did I ever mention you everyone that I miss every single one of them?
No, I did not.
But, does that mean that they are no longer missed?

Late last night, I had a wonderful time with God. At last, I felt His peace landing on me like before. For so long, I seemed to be a lost sheep. But now, it is different. I will never be the same again. I am rising up to a whole new level!
I woke up at 9am this morning when I am supposed to leave the house at 920am! Hai yo! The lazy me immediately got up from my bed and took a quick bath plus breakfast before I rushed off to Bedok! Weeh! I did a short saturation with the ministry members in charge of the East walk-in estate. Things went rather smoothly and once again, the whole experience gave me a revelation and cheered me up!
I am getting just so excited for our church's 16th Anniversary celebration next weekend! The celebration will not only involve the main church members but also members of the children's church, JAMS' church and last but not least, dialect church!!
There were two young children whom I met this morning when I went from household to household(hmm..doesnt that sound familiar?). There were simply adorable! They smiled at me and I guessed that they really loved me! And guess what? They told their mummy, "Mummy, that jiejie has got a beautiful smile." Wosh! When I heard that I was..weeh! I cant help but to keep smiling at Jeannie and Audrey A. Hahs!
I had my Chinese tuition earlier on. It lasted for 2hr30mins. I was totally worn out! Blah..Imagine you having tuition despite having a bad headache? Yeap, I did saturation even though I had a headache. But nonetheless, I did not regret! =)
I am looking forward to a wonderful day! Yipee! Well, I will be going out soon and finally, we are having dinner outside again! Weeh!Weeh!and Weeh!!
Alright, I need another 3 more hours before I met my stuy hours for the week. I must jia alot of you!!

Though things may not be going the way I want it to be, I am glad that I have overcomed it!
Yeah! I feel a sense of achievement recently. =) I am grateful for the people who kept tagging and encouraging me at times when I am feeling lost and down. Once again, I would like to thank you all, the best group of people I can ever have in my life!
As it is written in the bible, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." This verse can be found in Matthew 6:33.
Yes, I did post an entry about me worrying for my 'A' levels SPA (Sci Practical Assessment) simply because I had to do some stuff. Deep in my heart, I was worried. I was close to tearing as I thought about the stuff that I have promised God to do. At the same time, I was totally worn out and had a very bad headache. Nonetheless, I continued to do what I have promised God, others and myself.
Things did not really turn out well though. I prayed and prayed. But nothing happened! And well, the tired me simply hugged my bed after my prayers! Thank God that I am fasting the next day! So, I actually woke up and ate my breakfast before I fasted. The next thing that I can ever be so thankful for is the alerted mind I was blessed with. All within an hour or so, I revised through my SPA notes and exercises! And guess what next? I had my SPA of course!
-.-"! Hahs! The whole SPA lasted for 1hr 15min. The last SPA trial I had was simply a failure. I was so much so terrorised by the thought of how badly I did in my last try. In my last attempt, I spent the whole 1hr 15min doing the titration. To make things worse, my titration was not even complete!
The frightened me did nothing but to continue praying in my heart before the SPA starts, during the SPA and after the SPA. Ah hah! My great testimony comes when...I completed my Skill B assessment. Well, that is all about tabulating the results, commenting on the experiment and writing conclusions etc. Anyway, that requires memorising of standard statements too. I am please to inform you all that I finished my Skill B in 30 mins! The remaining time served as an extra bonus for me to do the calculation questions. Everything went really smoothly and I was able to check through the whole paper not twice, neither is it thrice but four times! Is not that more than what I can ever expect? =)
Last but not least, I will definitely not forget the people who have prayed for me. Love you people lots and lots!
Let's change the topic. I had my 2.4km run today, in short, NAFPA(alright, is that how you abbreviate it?) The lazy had ceased my jogging routines and is somewhat out of shape. Well, people who have saw me should be able to know the difference between the fit me last year and the...me this year! Hahs! Amazingly, I had broken my personal timing! That simply excludes the run that Jiayi paced me last year yea? My timing was 13min22sec. I was somewhat stunned but I know that it didnt come by chance. This is because at the beginning of the run, I felt really very tired and was well, thinking of giving up! INstead of dwelling on something negative, I decided to speak in tongues in my heart and started to 'pyscho' myself that I am able to do it! By the grace of His, I am strengthened! Amen!
Hey De Qi, I wonder if you will ever visit my blog, but nevertheless, I will still mention you as I have promised you earlier on. =) This gal over here is none other than my beloved(yucks! oops) classmate. As she was running her last lap, a few guys standing by the side of the track cheered her on! Well, JJCians are encouraging people yeah? Though De Qi does not know them , they just encouraged her! One thing that( I feel) has spurred her to run faster was the words, "Chio Bu jia you!" Hahs! She prefer people to call her cute though. =) Nonetheless, she still appreciate it.
Pss!! I got back the results of my GP common test! Wosh, I passed. And thank God that I did not pass with a border line grade. I scored a total of 59.5 out of 100 marks. This may not be a very nice score, but I will promise you all, and myself that I will do even better!

This is geting out of control! I am posting entry after entry! My inner volcano seems to be erupting really very soon. I have yet to prepare for my 1st 'A' levels SPA tomorrow! I need more time!
-my kind of life-
BAO YING!!
This gal just complained about me in her blog! I am really sorry to say that I am not able to meet up with you till..somewhere after 15 Aug 05? Basically because I need to prepare for my coming common test right after the national day's celebration. Blah! This is getting real horrible. I do not even have much time to go out. Alright, let's meet up on 20th Aug 05, Saturday evening can? =)
PS: Why do you always misunderstand me? Blah! Blah! Blah!
-my kind of life-
I failed my Chem and Phy test. This has somehow provoked me. I need to work hard in an effective way from now onwards.
I am once again short of time. I do really learn how to manage my time wisely. Discipline is the key word now. Discipline and more discipline.. Compromising with my flesh too often is somewhat harmful. Com'on! Just take a look at the state I am in right now! I just lost control in the food that I eat and lack the will to shed off the extra kgs. Arg! Hahs!

Though my walk in life is one that is filled (and is still filling.. -.-"!) with ups and down, I am still smiling. I am grateful for the joy that God has placed in my heart. Smiling is contagious! So, beware! =)

Finally, I have met the requirement of 15 study hours this week!
Waking up at 7am on a Saturday seems rather disastrous isn't it? To make things worst, can you imagine yourself missing your footstep (again) while walking down the stairs at the train station?
Well, everything seems to go wrong the moment I feel sleepy. HOWEVER, everything took a 180 degrees turn the moment I started to visit the group of elderly staying in Bedok! Today's visit was amuch more meaningful one. Deep down in my heart, I feel that I have established a strong bond with them even though this is my third (or second for some) time meeting up with them.
I cant help it but to smile at God throughout the day for all that He has planned for me! Smiles!

THANK YOUs!
Yeap, that is for all those who tagged ytd. Thanks lot for all your encouragement. In my heart, I do feel much better. =)
Once again, I am defeated by my poor physical health. I am going all the way to Parklane to see a doctor soon. Of course, I will look for my mum first before she brings me to the...well, specialist(according to her).

Did I mention to you that taking photos require more than just a camera?
I like this simply because there is a 'life' factor in it. I cannot explain it to you. You just have to see it.
-my kind of life-
Did I ever mention to the people around me that I need more time everyday? No.
Time seems to pass by just so quickly every single moment in my life. Leading an unproductive life daily not only pulls my spirit now but my hopes in life. I often place myself in a maze as large as the world. The path wears me out and tests my temper. All I want and need is a guide. On top of that, I desire for a speed vehical to bring me out of this never ending maze. I long for a new life..
I got back my report card yesterday. Many may envy me of the grades that I achieved for my Math, Chem and Phy. But, how far am I able to go with 'C's for my languageS? I seem to be getting into a deeper of worries and trouble...

I am back!
Guess what? I met my POS mate during the book prize presentation that I attended earlier on! Cindy was sitting beside me and our fathers know one another! Weeh! It is definitely not coincidental! Let me recall what Pastor Tan prayed for in the third session of the overnight prayer meeting. I can somewhat imagine the prayer coming to past. Slowly but surely, every single household of CHC's members will receive salvation. And let's all look at 7th August as the day of their salvation. 7th August will be our church 16th anniversary!
Hey, I fell in love with a praise song, esp its chorus. Its lyrics will be as followed:
There's Anointing In The Air
I Can Feel It Everywhere
I've Got The Power In My Soul
So Let The River Flow
Can You Hear The Rushing Wind
It's Blowing Deep Within
My Spirit Is Alive, My Life Has Been Revived
I've Got The Joy, I've Got The Peace Of Mind
I've Got The Faith In The Holy Ghost
That Fills Me Everyday
I've Got The Life, I've Got The Melody
I've Got The Word, The Word Of God
That Sets Me Free
Alright, back to my initial topic. My resolution for this weekend is to..
1) Arrange my Chinese file,
2) Learn my Chinese spelling and prepare for the test,
3) Dig my ears as I will be having my AO level Chinese listening Compre on Monday afternoon,
4) Read my Bible as I am a little bit behind the reading plan,
5) Complete math differentiation assignment and,
6) Complete my tutorials for Chemistry and Physics!!
Everything just seem so impossible due to my usual hectic weekend. However, no matter what happens, I will try my best to reach for my goals this weekend!!!! Yippee! I am feeling so 'high' now! Later on, I will be going to Bedok to visit the elderly once again! My heart beat just keeps increasing! Hahs!

I will be leaving my home in a few moments' time. Meanwhile, I will share with you all what happened in my life recently.
I sat for my Physics test yesterday. As usual, I busied myself with my homework and some other stuff til the extent that I delayed my revision. As a result, I ended up spending only 1hr30mins or so to revise four topics. Nonetheless, everything became a challenge for me. I saw the need for me to lean on God's grace even more. I seeked Him and He answered my prayers! Thanks lot my Father!
OKie, gtg now!! I will continue my entry when I am back! Wosh

I seem to have lost the mood to blog.
As usual, school has always been tiring for me. It wears me out easily, and drains my brain. To make things worst, it is stealing me sleep from me! Nahz. Alright, I am typing nothing else but nonsense! Well, those are what you(and me!) will have to accept if we have to study in S'pore.
I sat for my Math and Chem test yesterday. Well, I only started my Chem revision on Sunday night and did not have a chance to do any revision for Math. Time was limited and my heart beat with increasing speed as the clock ticks away.
It was really by God's grace that I sat through my Math paper without much difficulty. As usual, many students grumbled about the difficulty of the paper and started to compared how badly they did. I may sound nobbish to ask this, so please pardon me if I ever offend you. I often wonder why people are so pround in comparing their terrible grades. As in, these controverts are often proud of their poor grades. The lower (lousier) their grades, the most proud they are. And the next thing that came into me mind is the little confident that they have before they sit for each test. Many of the students attend schools with worried hearts and are always predicting how poor they will score for the test. Hey people! Deep down in my heart, I do hate listening to all these stuff. Simply because every word that leaves your mouth will somehow come to pass. In short, if your mouth brings forth bad predictions of your future, you are as good as...cursing yourself!
I may keep quiet many of those situations but it does not mean that I will accept the situation as the way it is. I kept quiet in the hope of stopping those silly arguments/topics. At times, my effort to calm my friends' nervous and worried looks seems to be futile. Deep in my heart, I am rather disappointed.
On top of all those stuff, the matter which upsets me the most is the failure in me making a difference in the lives of (most of) my classmates. Well, this is how I feel and think! Frankly speaking, I do HATE people speaking vulgarities in my presence. Well, the way people behave and speak and the language they use have somewhat help me (and others) to determine their personality. I am right now complaining and complaining..but one thing I know is that there are just these few people whom I have managed to change them a little and also to guide them in obeying the LORD. It is good to have Christians in your class. The feeling of edifying people is wonderful! This is the same when people edify me!
I do wonder how prepared I am for my future.....

I need financial blessings greatly. Is there any tuition job available for me?
-my kind of life-
Is this a better colour?
Over the past week, I have been tremendously blessed by the Word of God. My mind seems to be renew every single day! I am learning to pick up the bits and pieces of my broken dreams. At the same time, Ihave once again been exposed to the world of the elderly. Many people may think that the elderly in the church is different from those who does not attend church. Different in their living conditions, lifestyles and maybe, background. But pls, they are afterall all human beings, so...
I went to visit a group elderly who stays at Bedok yesterday. Countless thoughts penetrated through my mind after the whole trip. My cries are all going towards them, going towards the suffering that they are going through. A great burden is surfacing..
I am beginning to walk on a new road...leading an extraordinary life....with God......

It is time for me to start being responsible in every area of my life. Many times, being able to speak without doing is not going to help. It is said by someone that words without actions are nothing! True indeed, I should start to act on the words that come forth from my mouth. I need to change. I do not only want to be a speaker, but a doer too.
Did I mention that my Chinese tutor missed me? Nahz. That was what I had been hoping for! Hahs! I was absent for all her lessons last week. It just happened that I took MCs n Tues. and Thurs as I was sick. Finally, I had my Chinese spelling. Or should I say, dictation? I had to memorise two LONG poems as my tutor did not has the time to cite it to me. Isnt that a sad thing to hear? We did a news article report today. The news article was given to us last term and we are doing a afterthought exercise on it. What else can I say but to be proud of myself! I did the whole exercise with much effort and well, time. I am proud of my work and am confident of doing it well.
OKie, it does not matters if we are graded for it. But, it is the spirit of excellence that I want to show to the people around me!

I have a burning desire in my heart. Every single day, God reminds me of my purpose on this earth. I can visualise everything. I can. I am just waiting for God to place leaders in my life to guide me.
I seem to be living in a renewed mindset and life at this moment. Lingering in His presence is all that I ever wanted...

I love my life now. Not my busy schedule, but the way God has planned things in my life. The people He placed in my life are simply wonderful. They are people who are beyond the description of words.
I cannot write in much of the events which happened recently. However, I will write in a few highlights of my life over the week. The excitement in my journey with God normally happen towards the end of the week. I wonder why too, but it's all God plan. Pst Zhuang met up with my CG on friday night. As a whole CG, we had a short but intimate chat with him. I am totally amazed at how much effort he put in to remember our names, to remember the things that we do. He is indeed a great leader of CHC. I spent my night in church attending the overnight prayer meeting. I stepped out of my comfort zone and felt really stretched during the PM. The next afternoon(i.e. Sat afternoon), I headed towards church to help out in the baptism for the elderly. It is my first time attending and everything became just so exciting for me! I went around taking photos and really enjoyed myself.
Today(Sunday), Joa got baptized in the afternoon! Congrats bro! It is just so amazing to see people being baptized. I look forward to the baptism of my CG members! Xuan Yu joined us for service today and miraculously, he ofund his way to church! In my heart, I believe that it is God Who has led him.
As usual, I served in Dialect Church today. Everything became a challenge to me today. I ran around the church with a Pri 1 boy beside me majority of the time. My phone was in a bad condition. It vibrates only at times and it cannot ring. To make matters worse, the walkie talkie that I held was not in a very good condition. I changed it for the hope of getting a good one back. To my surprise, the set was just as bad as the previous one. I felt really disappointed and discouraged. Things were not going smoothly for me...
But, praise the LORD, my ministry mates just kept encouraging me and really supported me and pulled me up when I fell down again and again. I am grateful to them. =)
Beofre I end my entry, I really want to say this to Ah Bao: Thank you for always being there for me, and also, the other sisters. You have always been the, well, extra one among the five/four of us. But nonetheless, you always put in the effort to be part of us, and are there to accompany us whenever we need you. I will still treasure you like before though we can no longer spend as much time with each other as before. So, no worries! Ah hah!

Praise the LORD!
It is a miracle for me to be online. I did not manage to update my entries due to some problems with my internet connections. I do not believe that I got online by chance. The reason is simple. I laid hands on my PC and my modem this afternoon after another failed attempt of connecting to the 'world'. This may sound a little ridiculous but, this is not the first time it happens. It just happen that after I lay hands on the PC and modem(when it's not working), I get access to the net immediately! This is NOT coincidence, but a 'godincidence'!
Yes, like what Yvonne had tagged, I am busy. And I am bursting out! My time table's packed and my new school time table is terrible!!! Nevermind, I will learn to manage my time properly! =)
