Wow .. finally part 1 of prelims is over... [--]' whewz .. but tat's not the end!
Had a great great tiem today. Pastor Aries taught us about hurt and don'ts in dealing with Hurt. I shall briefly summarise what he said.
6 Don'ts in dealin with Hurts.
1)Don't Ignore the hurt
- Clint Eastwood approach to hurt [ or the macho approach ]
-To think that getting hurt is nothing, it's ok to let hurt accumulate in my life. It won't affect me
-This will result in a "Denial-Cycle"
-So don't Deny hurt.
-Don't procastinate hurt. Don't put it aside and deal with it another day.
2)Don't Run away from Hurt
-Chicken approach
-Running away is like a roller coaster ride. You'll lose the "high" feeling when the ride is over. And u'll be back to square one
Ps: 55:6-8 ; John 16:33
3)Don't try to hide the hurt
-Pocessions never compensate pain
-By hiding our sins, it will intensify our hurt
-Revealing is the...

Powerpack Service with ...
Hillsongs United .... wooohooo and Pastor Ulf Ekman. Men the chruch is real crowded today. Probably because many christians learn that Hillsongs is coming to City Harvest this weekend. Who are the Hillsongs ?? Haa they are the reknown Christian band from Hillsongs Australia, Pastor Brian Houston's Church. Famous for the music production and strong church foundation.
Today's Service was very different. Compared with the past few exciting events like Weekend Connection, 15th Anniversary Celebration, today's service was extraordinarily special. It's really different and i really thank god for guiding me thru' my ushering and serving the crowd. It was qutie messy at first, when the crowd was released from the doors and everyone was like rushing to get seats. Within 3 min, the whole hall was jam-packed with people. With youngsters and oldsters streaming from all openings of the hall.[excluding the window of cos] So i was like "tien a...

.Message of the day .
Erm more like paragraph of the day
Be anxious for nothing , but in everything by prayer and supplication , with thanksgiving , let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble , whatever things are just, whatever things are pure , whatever things are lovely , whatever things are of good report , if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-- meditate on these things.
[Phil 4:6-8]

Home [For all You've Done]-Album
[Hillsongs Australia]-Band Into Your courts I run with praises
Flowing from my heart
Every day I wake I sing Your song
It's the anthem of my life
I want to spend my days
In Your presence, Lord
Bowed before Your throne
In the house of God
Is where I find my peace
It's where I find my
Home is heaven
One day Lord, I will live
In Your courts, You'll find me
In worship at Your feet
Hide me now
In the shadow of Your wings
Where I will be
Where I will be
Your love is all I need
So desperately I have sought Your face
I know You hear my every cry
And petition that I make
Jesus, oh You are my treasure
Jesus, oh You are my treasure

A Nation's Celebration ...
Today i had a cell group outing at East Coast PArk. Men, the whoel place was soooo crowded. Tents flooded the grass patches next to the sea. Children can be seen dancing and playing at the beaches. There are lots of dogs there as well, which is very unfortunate for me. haiz ... Well ok, i was late at the start. And they were all playing cards on the mats ... a game called "4 of a kind" i tink. So the latecomers, which include Emily, me and Wan yi joined in the game much later. Fairly simple game. Get four of a kind, Spade, heart, club and diamond and quickly do an action so that everyone can follow. Last one to do the action will be the forfeit-er. We play alot of card games today ... but i am too lazy to type out all. :P
Just after the games, we went to feast at the Kopitiam next to Mac. I had naan [ AN nortern Indian dish, and in this case a Paskistan dish according to my fren] for lunch and the dishes are all very pricey. I paid 3.50 f...

SATURDAY
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
--Psalm 119:160
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... The requirements of morality and holiness are not temporaryor fleeting because they reflect the nature of our Holy God whois eternal. They don't shift with the wishes of culture, butare true across cultures and times and wishes.
MY PRAYER... Righteous God Almighty, may my life reflect your characterand nature in compassion, holiness, and justice. I know youare forever, and I want to invest my life in what lasts. Giveme wisdom to see through the fleeting temptations of today anddo what honors you beyond my lifetime. In Jesus name. Amen.

A car ride with ...
DP. A car ride with my deputy principle miss Chia. I know. You might ask "men how did u hitch that ride" or "Men are u a stowaway or something? " Well i would just say she is nice and did it out of kindness.
This morning, everything seems fine. I come to school, smile at my friends, chat with them and find out what i miss yest. BTW i was sick yesterday and did not come to school. Reason b'cos of headache and slight fever. Nothing really serious. Today, i thought i was much better. So i happily came to school and attended my lesson. But just when i started attending my first lesson which is bio lecture, the headache came back and its much more intense. I can hardly remember or focus on what the lecturer is trying to say. I just blindly copy the words down from the powerpoint slides unto my notes. I also felt nauseas . Dunno y. And my legs are like jelly. Totally weird experience. I went to see DP during my break and cant attend to her ...

Haiz ... got a headache today. Din go to sch :(. My head hurts. Cant tink cant work :(
haiz very sad :( Prelims in 23 days time :(. No time. The day is coming
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God hascalled me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
--Philippians 3:14
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The way to walk a tightrope is to keep one's sight on thegoal, not on the ground or what is behind. The way to walkwith Jesus is to keep our eyes on the goal, his victory waitingfor us when he returns, not on the ground (our failures) andnot what is behind (our accomplishments). The goal of theChristian walk is to keep walking toward Jesus until we walkwith him in heaven.
MY PRAYER...
Lord, I look forward to the day when you call me by name andwalk hand in hand with me. Until that day, help me fix my eyeson what you want me to be and not what I've done. By yourgrace I ask it. Amen. ~~~~~~~~~
My head still hurts. =(

The $20 Bill
A well-known speaker started off his seminar
by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground
and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it
because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives,
we are...

All That Glitters - A woman's Best Friend
In SK Jewellery, u can get diamond rings for $39 !!
Downside: Diamond rings are 2nd-class quality. They are real diamonds but haaa .. u'll get only a speck of diamond which is 0.1 carat =). The article also mentioned that it will shine .. most likely only when u shine bright light on it.
Nevertheless, guys esp teenagers can now also afford to give their gf diamond rings !! ^^
