this BF period is gonna be the most challenging ever. the amount ain't the biggest ever, but it's the toughest ever.

so many things on my mind right now. i'm physically and mentally tired.

Insurance, hp bills, tpt fees, and so many more things!!

Jehovah Jireh, God is MY provider!

I place my precious in Your hands!

a lot of things to settle, God, come and improve my relationships at home.

Sometimes, I wonder why do I keep giving and giving?

i guess i figured it out.

simply part of my DNA.

God, you're my everything!

Time passes by real fast. N I'm simply amazed that we are only about 2 months and 3 days left from the end of the year!!!! Just came back from a short trip to Batam with Joyce and two other friends, and it was pretty fun. Photos are not with me, haaa. I will get the photos from Joyce, but then, I might not upload it. COZZZZZ, im lazy to upload photos. so slow and takes up so much time. I've got better things to do. haaaa.... but most importantly for the whole trip, it was a time spent nua-ing and sleeping, giving me a much needed rest! so i should feel refreshed rite? haaahaa. but no!!! The moment i reach Singapore, i still feel like nua-ing... haaahaaaa.... Coz it's just 3 more weeks of school, then 1 week of study break and then it's exams!!!

Hmmm, actually, to think of it, I'm quite happy that exams are coming, coz it means it's gonna be holidays soon and I can finish this boring and uninteresting semester soon!! Great! Im gonna try to bid for some interesting modules next sem!!

Anyway, I heard 'rumours'!!! haaa.. I think there's gonna be some reshuffling around. I think it would be good. Changes are always constant and I always believe in it! God is always moving forward, and staying stagnant in your comfort zone only makes you grow mouldy!!!! Ppl, let's not be "chao sen"! Let's end the year with a bang! wooohooooooooo!!

I can sense great things are happening, and the 'air' smells different.

I want to be challenged, though I know that challenges = sacrifice.

Increase my capacity to do more than I can imagine.

God, come and do a work within me. I'm your masterpiece!

Excited about Asia Conf, December highlights and so many things!!!

ok, back to writing my report for now. but I'm excited!

Ps 139: 13-14

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

Yes you are. Trust me. Believe me.

Just ended my last midterms paper. Then I will have 4 more weeks of school. Then I will have my study break, which coincides with the Asia Conference, and finally, after which, I will have 4 exams and HOLIDAYS will arrive! I think God is really testing me in my faith to trust Him for my exams. It always coincides with big days, big events. I only have exams in Feb, April, Sep and Nov. As such, Feb - Clashes with CNY, April - Clashes with Easter, Sep - Clashes with CD, Nov - Clashes with Asia Conference/Christmas/Musical(2007). My life is so exciting!

Last night's cellgroup, we are told to write down three positive thoughts about ourself, and recite it everyday, 20 times when we wake up and before we sleep.

1) I will be as shining light in my marketplace (School and ministry for now, career up next)

2) I am a PRECIOUS child of God

3) I will be successful in my life (Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this, what defines success?)

Anyway, there are so many things to be done. Sooooo many things on my mind. Some times, we wonder, what really matters? Opinions of men? How we view ourselves? Or simply, what matters to God?

This shall be a long post from me. With a lot of random ramblings as I'm thinking a lot.

First, thanks for the all nice and belated lunches, dinners from all my friends! Thanks for understanding that I'm so busy and can't celebrate my birthday earlier with all of you. Wo bu shi diao qi lai mai!! harhar..

Next, I really fed up with some of my projects this semester. I'm not sure if it's just me, or is it them? Something is not quite right. I simply can't stand inefficiency as it takes away my precious time, but somehow, that seems to be the case. I'm not saying that they are not good, just that we have really different working styles. Maybe tat's why i still like to bid for modules with my long-suffering buddy in SMU. harhar.

As of Oct, I started serving in Sat Expo. I realised that it's pretty different from Sun Expo. Styles are different, people are different, and of course, the children are different. And this week, my 2nd week, was the most challenging week. so many of our core teachers are not around, and in e end, Pst and Shumei came by to help me out. So grateful! It opened my eyes to alot of things, set me thinking alot too. What is your purpose as a children's church teacher? What do I want to impart to the children who are 4 to 6 years old? What can I do and what is the best way that I can do it? It's not easy to be in charge of a service, so many things to look into. That's why I'm amazed at how Anna does it every week! I need to learn and enlarge my capacity.

Each child spends 3 years in my age group of 4-6. I have seen them grow, from being timid to being mischievous. Misbehaved to being very obedient to the teachers. It's a learning process. If there's one thing that I want to tell them, it has to be this: "Each one of them is SPECIAL, both in our eyes and God's, and GOD is the one who made them special". I believe that every child deserves to know and understand that, have confidence in themselves and know that God is the one who made them unique!

This week's cg and service was awesome and I believe that I had the honor to be a part of the MOST LEGENDARY offering msg given in a cg. Was really blessed by the message by BingHwa!! He shared with us from Gen 26. Of how Isaac went to Gerar during the famine. And then later, he sowed and he reaped. So how did Isaac had seeds to sow? It was most likely because the king gave it to him. Therefore, BingHwa gave us each a seed. It was 50 bucks, given to us in an envelope. (There's alot of us at the cg meeting!!) We can choose to keep it, or sow it, topping up with our personal giving. We were all so awed n blown away by the message. We had the chance to sow this seed, n be ready to reap the harvest together as a cg! I'm simply amazed!

Finally, I wanna talk about F5 or F4+1 as what Gene says. Let me share with you how all these started and came about. F4 was this awesome group of 4 friends, bob, gene, hui n joyce. It's a long term friendship where everyone is committed to one another, to watch each other's back. Then came along the 5th member of the group. He was someone going through a 'mini crisis' back then when Joyce suggested reaching out to him (as said by gene). And since they are around the same age, he was soon mixing well into their click and he really appreciated the effort and time spent with them! All the lame stories, the legendary TOUFU joke, all these are precious memories! So as time passes, F5 evolved into F4 + 1. But actually, it should be F4 +3, am i right gene? Still, I believe that this friendship will never change. That's because it's a friendship with God right in our midst! I really thank God for all of you, as you changed an anti-social person, who likes to go home straight after serving or service, into someone as lame as all of you!! muuaaahhhhaaa... Really appreciate all of you!

Finally, I'm really glad that A&B is coming. It's not going to be easy, but i know that we are going to go from glory to glory. There are so many things that I do not understand, but I can sense that God is doing a great and mighty move in our midst. I'm excited! Please help me by finding me more part-time jobs! To earn more money! hahaha.

Finally, after such a long while, I can finally sit down and rest. And yea, I could finally sleep a proper 9 hours last nite!!! harhar.. It's been such a tiring and challenging time for me, but I'm glad that I survived and came out stronger!

Children's Day is finally over, but follow up and visitation has just begun! I thank God for the increase that he brought to my group, and my zone! I had my breakthrough attendance of 77!! haa. Can be counted as my highest ever for a single group, the last highest attendance was 74. Going from glory to glory! And guess how much my zone's attendance was? While chatting with Ade, we realised that our current attendance is 498/499!! faint. just one more. Digging and searching now, not sure if we can find that one more child! But still, I thank God for all the wonderful leaders, Patuma, GekLing, Gladys, Eileen, and helpers like Calista and Wendy who put in so much effort to make things happen! So proud of them!

And ya, this is something interesting from Patuma!!! PE culture is defined as followed by Patuma:
1) PE ppl dislikes Winnie the Pooh, coz she overshadows Tigger (they seem to have a common liking for Tigger, so weird)
2) PE ppl likes to cycle!! (Apparently, only Patuma, Gekling and Calista likes that, Wendy is trying to learn from them)
3) I forgot.. haaaaa. I was busy studying and forgot about the 3rd one.

Anyway, so happy to see them growing closer and integrating the helpers! Let's grow together!

Oh ya, not forgetting, I thank God both my exams are over. One more to go in 2 weeks time. But it's really by God's grace that I made it through. Both papers are manageable, I think I will confirm pass, just a matter of how well I will do. Harhar. So I shall confess by faith, at least 80/100 marks for MR paper and above 90/100 marks for SCM paper! If i can get my breakthrough for my attendance, I WILL get my breakthrough for my results! Seek 1st the kingdom of God!! haaa..

I'm so looking forward to relaxing and enjoying myself! I need to rest my body. Harhar. I'm getting old le.. haaaa....... N most importantly, must find time for J!! Was so busy that I didn't had enough time for her. Thanks for understanding!! :)
