HA. Today i ate super delicious pineapple rice again. This time the uncle gave me a free serving of curry veggie + make-your-hair-drop-msg-filled prawn soup. Sighz. The pineapple rice serve at Plaza Sing Kopitiam is not bad men. Pineapple rice lovers cant give it a miss.
Today studied with Pei Xiong and Peifen. Skipped my Maths mock exam cos din prepare enough for it. Asked my friends to help me collect the paper [hope they did]. Well i feel kinda feverish now. Better give my eyes more rest. Tat's all. bum bum bum . . .

Reflections.
Today is nto a good day. Morning started off with an argument. I felt hurt. I put on my MSN nick "Hurt. I'll be independent. I'll be." I felt that my granny doesn't love me. I felt that she doesn't care about me. I feel so lost. And above all, i lost my temper. I don't wanna lose it. Sometimes i wish time cab fall back and i can erase what i've done or said. Obviously nature doesn't allow that. I am sad.
I spoke with one my cell group member who gave me bible study. She told me of a practical soln to handle my case. [We are arguing over allowance]. Sometimes we are so blinded by emotions and we fail to see the good or somehow obvious soln to our probs. Alot of things struck me thru-out the course of the day. It's like God is telling me how much hurt i've cost. How would be granny feel on the other side of the argument. I've been a bad boy. I am a bad boy. But my heart is still angry. I still feel lost. I felt vulnerable i guess. This remidns me of what i learn i nmy previous lesson in my Christian Lifestyle bible study.
In my previous/ and last lesson, I learnt about reaching out with Jesus' love. On what of the section, it talks about needs. It suddenly hit me that i lack or maybe ... i would say ... have problems with one of the foundational need. Love.
Dr. Abraham Maslow's Scale of Human Needs classify the needs of Human as follows
1st level : Physiological Needs
Food,shelter and basic survival.
2nd Level: Safety and Security
The need of protection. Shelter and refuge.
3rd Level: Love and Belonging
Need for love. Sense of Belonging. Need to develop meaningful relationships
4th Level: Self-Esteem
Love yourself as yourself. Appreciate God for making you
5th Level: Self Actualisation
Search for the reason of your existence. Desire to fulfill your purpose, dream and destiny.
It occur to me that... for a blur-block like me... who seems to be drifting .. or cruising thru each day. I've have a problem with level 3. Re-counting what had happen over the years, i really wonder alot. But i am afraid to find out. My life ... like i told my friend.. is in a big mess. I feel in many ways that it shouldn't be like that. And that i can handle my life in a much mroe better way than what i am going thru' now. There are no time for regrets. Maybe enough time to reflect. I hope I can clear up this mess and make fulfill my role as a student now and be what i am called to be. Be what i am to be. Be what i can be. What am i saying??

.:: Words of Wisdom ::.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
--Matthew 5:11-12
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
For most who can read this Internet message, the sentiments of this verse seem foreign. But among those who closely study persecution, believers in Christ are enduring perhaps the greatest amount of persecution in the history of Christianity. For those of us who live in cozy places where belief is tolerated and Christians are just considered "unhip" or a bit out of touch, we need to be thankful that our lives make enough of a distinction from our culture to be noticed, even if it's a bit unfavorably. But at the same time, we need to pray for other believers throughout the world who are undergoing the wrath of hell for the faith.
MY PRAYER...
Great Deliverer, we have many who call on your name with faith in Jesus who face persecution and hardship every day. I pray that they will not lose heart and give up their confidence. I pray that you will bring deliverance from this time of persecution. I pray that their sufferings will be the source of powerful witness so others will come to see the great value of Jesus and our allegiance to him. This I pray in his precious and holy name. Amen.
Another Tale of Life.
In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination.
Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible..
The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever ;dream and wish what you would do with your life?" Mommy, "I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true." Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said,
"Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine;yards! And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat-not a toy one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast."
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the local news program. Having his ;dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one should die alone,began to call the family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.
The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens screaming and see t he lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window. 16 firefighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him. With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?" "Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said. With those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing.."
He closed his eyes one last time.

Zhiming's Big Day
Yep. Today is my ex-cell group members big day. It's his birthday. The day God officially introduced him into this world. The day he 1st cried after 17 years . And on this big day ... we went A korean Barbecue Restaurant. Seoul Garden =D.
I'ts been a long long ... decades?? dunno. ya .... long long time since i ate Korean Barbecue food. I was late :P [once again] and was told to cook the food for the rest of the 3. There were a total of 4 os us. Doraemon, Zhiming, Turtle and me. Zhiming was constantly told by Dorae to sit back and relax while we cook a good meal for him :). Haa but being the hyper-active him ... i know he couldn't. He went around taking Ice-cream of differnt flavours which might be his favourtie food. We cook many many goodies. From hotdogs, to otah-Fishcake, to vegetable soup to stir-fried Chicken and beef. There were clamshells, tomatoes, Fish[yumyum], Beef strips[yumyum too], prawns[din eat], oysters and clamshells [turtle ate but i din eat], potato salad and colesaw [ din eat] , and whole lot of meat and other goodies. The satay sauce is good ... They also provide prawn crackers :P. Overall the main attration to zhiming i think is ice cream. haa.
I can tell zhiming had a good day today cos for a quiet boy like him ... he laugh and smiled alot today. I guess probably he should have enjoyed himself alot... We played Magic Number .. or ZHong Ji Mi Ma to end off the trip. [By the time, dorae has left for bible study]. Turtle was asking very funny questions to keep both Zhiming and me entertained. She hides part of her hand under the table and started asking which finger is she showing to us ... Haa ... no comments. Turtle is also very lazy and piggy. She laid on the couch straight after she proclaimed that she is full. And started to murmur like turtles. haa do turtles murmur? I don't think so . But the turtle infront of me sure does.
Oh ya back to Zhong ji mu ma. Haa we played alot of rounds. At the final round, we played a plate of sushi-s with some wa-sa-bei on the plate[seperately]. OVerall its a fun and entertaining day. If you ignore i have a few sessions of diarrhoea earlier [cos i have to take laxative pills for a urinology radiation scan], the day is perfectly fun and cool. Best wishes for Zhiming

Missing and Incomplete
Men am i feeling down today. Sad. Really. That's all it is in me. My prelims is so terrible that i have little hope for myself. The answer to my current crisis is to work hard. But i have a constant feeling that i will not make it in A levels. I feel very devastated. Ms Wong had a chat with me about my Bio results. She keeps asking me "how?" ... which more specifically means : what do u plan to do now to turn yr results to the right side up. She asked me how i performed so badly .. and why i didn't approach her. I must admit that partly is becos i am lazy to find her. Partly be'cos i feel that she doesn't care about me at all. But maybe she does. Maybe i was wrong all the while. Sighz. Depreciative results. Incompetency is certainly overwheming.
Secondly i feel sad cos 2 of my cell group members are leaving. It makes me think of Miss Cher. Miss Cher was a fervent christian once b4. Just like my 2 friends here. But out of unknown reason, they left. When i see that i feel really sad. And i feel very confused all at the same time. Peifen told me abt the story of Peter. His denial of Jesus 3 times b4 the rooster crow. I supposed Christians do fall away from their path of destiny. I am afraid that one day i'll be like them. Like Miss Cher. Peifen told me i have to hold on to the love of God. Truly i really hunger for that experience. I have not felt that experience for years. And i really did not know if i ever felt the true presence of God. The presence to melt every broken heart. The presence that stirs out joy from nowhere. Or like what " mom" said .. the tangible feeling of peacefulness .. the suddenly lifted up experience. I don't know. I am really confused. I am a very forgotful person. I wonder if one day i forgot the love of God. Would God still be there for me? Would i still be loved?

Jason's Happy New Year Clothes day
A short day. Haa basically i went out to have bible study with one of my mitochondria group members .. Wan yi. It was a make-up bible study lesson for one of my classes i missed ... but this lesson that she went through seems very very familiar to me. I think i went for the class before ...... and haaa think she gave me the make-up for the wrong lesson. [--]'
Well after my bible study, we went Queensway Shopping centre to shop for formal attire .... For Me :). I've been really blessed and very touche when my " mom " and Chua blessed me with some clothes and cash to get myself new clothings for my usher ministry. That time i was pretty worried at ... you know ... what i can wear to church ... and also kinda rush for me to suddenly borrow ties ... leather shoes ... shirt and pants when i server in Conferences. So once again ... i must thank God .. and Thank mom and Chua for their kind deeds for me :).
We went from shop to shop and finally we found a shop which sell pants which go with a suit. Tried many pants ... and the uncle had difficulty telling whether the pants is black ... dark blue .. or shady grey. So in the end... the sisters : emily and wan yi found a perfectly black pants for me to try on. The pants are okay ... and the price is also quite reasonable. And so ... i became the master of the little black pants.
Later, emily and me went G2000 at Robinsons [orchard] to shop for a shirt and tie for me. Again i tried on many clothes ... [haa which i usually hate doing in the past ... but it seems quite fun to try on different clothes now. Weird.] First i tried on this light blue shirt. Emily said i look like Ah bei [old man]. Then i tried on red , purple and another different shade of blue shirt. Every shirt, Emily shake her head. So finally i wore a grey shirt which reminds me of the Matrix.. dun ask me why. It just give me the feel that i am in the Matrix. I kinda like this grey shirt. Later i put on a dark blue shirt. This time peifen and another brother from usher arrived to give me some opinion on what shirt to buy. I think this shirt is nice. So did they. Later i spotted a brown shirt which reminds me of Indiana Jones and Cowboy Joe. The shirt is pretty nice and i quite like it. But the girls ask me to choose the grey and dark blue shirt. Brother ABC [i forgot his name =D] told me the brown and grey is good. I personally prefer the brown and grey. After much discussion... and reasoning .... i took the dark blue and grey 'cos from what the sisters said ... it will be hard to get a tie with a brown shirt.
haa ... i dun really feel like blogging ... so i shall cut this whole thing short. We went to Tie shop. Discuss over a tie that match both shirt. Bought a plain black tie. Feeling happy.
We parted at the store ... they are going to KTV for karoake while i have to rush back to packet food for my Granny. Just wanna say i feel very blessed to have friends to give me opinion on what to wear to look presentable and to have all the expense of getting a formal wear paid off.
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.

By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.

Okay just returned from church. I am suffering the after-effects of the sun-burn from yesterday. I look like fried chicken wing. hmmm not dat brown but abit red. And i always feel like i am burning. My skin is on fire. Dunn if my classmates feel the same way.
Okay to continue where i left off ... ermmm where was i at ?? Taking pictures? ya we had many snapshots here and there. Wonder if the photos are ready now. Btw, my class got a professional photographer ... we call him Jon. He's the ex-president of the photographic society. So we can expect to see very nice angled pictures.
As we went back, We realise the once menacing looking rain clouds has disperesed. So it wasn't gonna rain after-all. And then without warning,one of my friend, Marc got tackled down and was dragged all the way and thrown into the shallow waters in the sea. So .... very obviously, he was drenched wet. As the group returned, Johnny became the next victim. Followed by Daniel. Hong Rui escaped twice from the the group of boys. Suddenly i don't feel that safe anymore. So the "dry boys" which incldue me ... went to seek refuge in the playground. far far away from the sea.
Haa i lazy to type out everything. The funny thing is... eventually the whole class went into the waters of the sea .. for a swim or just floating around at the bay. We had a great time fellowshipping and splashing water at each other ... diving underneathe and grabbing someone's leg by surprise .. doing handstand under-water [by James] ... and talking crap. It was kinda like a cool-off from the day. The water there is very salty .. and not cool if the water gets into your eyes. But its kinda nice to get togetehr as a class .. together in a place, and doing something like this. It may not be something very exciting or entertaining ... but certainly spending time liek this will surely give us good memories when we reflect back in the future on what we did in the past. Its fortunate for me ... to be able to experience such fun and also get to appreciate more of my friends during this last few months of my JC years. To many of us .. A levels may be very much one of our primary concerns. And it should be. But i dunno if some of us realise that in a few months, we'll be in different places. One thing i hate most is leaving. Is to see people leave. OR to leave something .. leave some place ... You can say that i like to reside in my preferable comfort zone. But it's really not just that. I just feel sad when things happen this way. I know the end is the start of a new beginning. Knowing that however doesn't make me feel better. Don't worry. I am not getting sentimental over this issue. I am just thankful that God has given me this moments/memories that i can bring with me through the next few phases of my life.
Well, of course ... i must say how this trip end. Erm actually we did nothing much at the end. A few photos were taken when we were in the waters. Then we went to shower and after that.. i bought a very yummy orange-flavoured ice cream. Then we plated Black Magic. *Grins mischieviously* Erm dun worry its not a sorcery game. ITs a pretty fun game .. for me and one of my friend that is. Shall not elaborate here. And tat's all for the outing. Went to cell group and had a great time there. Everything was great yesterday. Thank God for everything :)

A Great Day .. Fun and Games At the beach
Finally, everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. Erm tink it already ended. Prelims ended. Woohoo? yea ! Woohoo. Prelims has ended Prelims has ended ... A Level's coming ,A Level's coming ... haha okok nah kiddin.. not trying to spoil the post-exam atmosphere.
After Prelims, we are going to the beach!! [again]. It seems by whole of SA life has been fillied with many memories of beach outings. I have never been to beach so many times in my whole life .. and its like i've been to the beach about 4-5 times in this period of 2 years... maybe got people out there 10 times haha but 4-5 also quite big in value. so dun despise ....
I was quite disappointed at the start to see so many people not going. Abit like anti-climax when people dun wanna go ... Would be better if the whole class could be there and we can make alot of noise.
We went to ..... Sentosa's Padawan beach << correct spelling? the padawan looks like the Jedi-padawan word ... haha ok back to the subj. Padawan beach got alot of peacocks. That's what i know from my last visit. This time we din get to see many peacocks. We were about there in the morning and the beach was like real empty. We started off by kicking around... throwing frisbee.. chatting and unloading our stuffs under the tree one of the ends of the beach. We got alittle adrenaline rush and started playing intra-class Beach volleyball game. Losers have to treat winers a cup of drink. :P cool!
The game started with a terrible defeat at the start. my team was like losing 11-2 to the other team.It was alot of fun though, got alot of laughs here and there and we had a great time with that little ball flying around the net. Guess which team won? Duh . Its my team. HAHA. My teeaaam won. Why? its a 21-pt match and the other team started to "commit suicide" by making so many mistake that we keep gaining free pts every round. Eventually we caught up so fast to 20-20 and we won the deuce to emerge as Champion! haha. GOt 1 free drink coming up!!
After the sizzling hot but fun game, we went to have a drink, and me, James, Hongz, Jaya, Johnny, YueQing, Shooting,Daniel and wee Kiang went to have yummy lunch. Ate instant noodle which was ermmm okay la ... at the nearby 7-11. Then we got to do an interesting activity after our lunch. Fishing!!
WE used erm slurpee cups, erm frisbee, erm plastic containers and plastic bags to catch those tiny little fish in the sea. Well its pretty hard to be a fisherman ... Initially i thought i can catch with my bare hands. But how wrong i was. The fish are sooo fast and quick. Its like zoom they are on the other side ... zoom they are behind you. Zoom and men where did they go ... ? argh!?. So i improve my inventory and equip myself with a deadly slurpee cup. But even with a slurpee cup, i failed to catch the sneaky fishes. EVentually i just sat there watching the fish swim by me ... and try to watch my friends catch the little fishes in the sea-side of the beach. They are more successful cos they are betterly equiped with plastic bags. Zoom and mamamia .... u can get 7 fish in the plastic bag in a row. We stored the fished in a contanier .. together with a crab which lieks to hide in the shell then come out to reveal itself. After spending a long time with the fishes, we play round 2 of our inter-class volleyball deathmatch.
Cut it short. This time, we lost it. Haaa so we don';t get our free drink afterall. But one thing i must say is that in the 2nd match, the Sun is burning very brightky and the sand was sooo hot. My feet is particularly baked and i have to stand on the sand under the tree to cool my feet.
Later, we got to enjoy a very nice scenery. It was liek about to rain cos the sky is getting dark and we can see this thick patch of blue cloud ... like those you see in the movie ... where u noe tornadoes come out from no-where and blow everything away. The waves in the sea are quite cool and with the awesome sky-colour, who can resist taking pictures here? So cameras started clicking away and we all did funny poses withe sea as the backdrop. We took a couple of photos there, a couple of photos under the coconut tree, a couple of photos in the nearby playground, where there is a very fun erm merry go round. Very unique kinda merry go round. It is made such a way that the centrifugal force you experience can actually pull you off the seat if you don't grab the handle hard enough. Cool rite?? It was pretty fun ... and we took alot of pictures here as well.
Argh lol. I lazy to type the whole event men. I shall continue part 2 on next episode. ANd i don't dare to type so long cos blogger cannot be trusted nowadays. Haaa yr whole long entry can go missing due to some error and den .. God bless you. Experience this many times already. Very sickening. And very feeling-cheating. So haha shall finish this on my next episode. Buahahaha
Finally, everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. Erm tink it already ended. Prelims ended. Woohoo? yea ! Woohoo. Prelims has ended Prelims has ended ... A Level's coming ,A Level's coming ... haha okok nah kiddin.. not trying to spoil the post-exam atmosphere.
After Prelims, we are going to the beach!! [again]. It seems by whole of SA life has been fillied with many memories of beach outings. I have never been to beach so many times in my whole life .. and its like i've been to the beach about 4-5 times in this period of 2 years... maybe got people out there 10 times haha but 4-5 also quite big in value. so dun despise ....
I was quite disappointed at the start to see so many people not going. Abit like anti-climax when people dun wanna go ... Would be better if the whole class could be there and we can make alot of noise.
We went to ..... Sentosa's Padawan beach << correct spelling? the padawan looks like the Jedi-padawan word ... haha ok back to the subj. Padawan beach got alot of peacocks. That's what i know from my last visit. This time we din get to see many peacocks. We were about there in the morning and the beach was like real empty. We started off by kicking around... throwing frisbee.. chatting and unloading our stuffs under the tree one of the ends of the beach. We got alittle adrenaline rush and started playing intra-class Beach volleyball game. Losers have to treat winers a cup of drink. :P cool!
The game started with a terrible defeat at the start. my team was like losing 11-2 to the other team.It was alot of fun though, got alot of laughs here and there and we had a great time with that little ball flying around the net. Guess which team won? Duh . Its my team. HAHA. My teeaaam won. Why? its a 21-pt match and the other team started to "commit suicide" by making so many mistake that we keep gaining free pts every round.

Prelims update: Hmm todays is pretty an exciting day of its own. B4 i update on my prelims, i have a short adventure to tell.
I actually [unknowingly and definitely unintentionally] caused a jam and delay before the practical exam. Everyone was held back because of me. Well the faithful day began when i happily stroll to school. It was 07.28 am and i was like "heck yeaa!"... haha cos i am a J2 =D and i can report late because i have exams. Budden i saw everyone around me started to run and there was a teacher standing there frowning at me. So i join the motion and run with them. So we were stuck at the flag pole and i have no idea that i shouldn't be there at all. It's only when i join the crowd at the assembly area then i realise something is amiss. There are no J2's AROUND !!. Only the J1's. "Sian" - immediately appreared in my mind and soon i discovered that i got tricked. you see, there is this J2 girl and i know she is J2 ... so when i saw her walking to the assembly area i thot we are suppose to gather there ... and den i found out that she was from Arts faculty and only the J2 arts faculty students are there. There are no Science faculty students around. So i slipped away quietly from the assembly area [under the Principal's nose] and made a quick getaway.
That's not all. the adventure doesn't just end here. I happily trotted to the reporting venue jsut to realise that i've forgotten where to report. I remebered LT something. and so i search every LT from 1-4. IN LT 1, i saw this teacher conducting a "management class" course. Is that under econs? Wadeva i just ran to the next LT. Pitch black. The next LT. I saw Mr Roland Lee standing there waving his hands here and there and talking to the students. Okay to make u clearer wherei am ... i am outside the LT and i got to see part of the scene inside through a view-hole. I thought MR Roland Lee was conducting Physics lesson. How wrong was i. LT 4 is pitch black too. Damn i thought probably they've all gone to the practical lab and i quickly went there.
The teacher's 1st reaction when they see me was like as if the sky has fallen and they were so awe-stucked that they cannot close their mouth. So i said" hi and erm when am i suppose to report?" and then the head- i/c of the chem prac told me i am nt suppsoe to be there and there might be a security loop-hole in the area and she require immediate FBI assistance. ok to cut the crap, she told me i should go back to LT 3 to report [--]'. Dear dear. so that was the place to report. When i step into the LT, students were leaving the LT. The teacher was kinda excited when she saw me. But the strange thing is she express her excitement with a frown. She started talking about the search party she sent to look for me and bla bla and eventually she told me i am not allowed to go to the venue myself and must be escorted. Am i a 3 yr old kid?
I finally reach the practical lab. BL1. By the time i reach there, i was sweating like crazy and my friend gave me a "hi, you must have another adventure. Pls tell me at the end of the practical" - look and smile. Well the good thing about all the running and fretting over the exam venue is it got my adrenaling pumping.
Remeber my previous post?
Truly the verse seems to speak very well into my situation. After evaluating what have happen, this verse that I receive from the bible seem to have taken effect this morning. The high hills signify challenge, or obstacle if you want to put it. Though i won't say this whole thing is a great challenge and wow ... i feel so challenge but i really must thank God for giving me the peace. Something that i will not experience in the past. Won't you feel abit shaky and uneasy after fretting over not being able to start on time and after a run-here, run-there experience like that. Haa for me i will be abit panicky but today is good. I feel good.
The lord will give me haste and haste it is. I am not sure if its the run but my adrenal glands are surely activated in the exams. I seem to be able to finish expt 1 and 2 very fast. I look around and i was the 1st to complete both experiments. There is still qn 3 and 4 and i admit i took longer in this 2 questions .. cos i made mistakes and have to repeat the set-up. But nevertheless i felt haste has hit me as normally i will be the last few who finish the practical. I think i will have lots of errors here and there and marks lost here and there but at least i am happy i completed my practical. All i can do now is hope
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills. To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.
---Habakkuk 3:19
New King James Version
Truly motivating verse. He gurantees Strength. He gives us speed of the deer. He will let us walk through obstacles. In NLT, it reads "and bring me safely over the mountains". So he gurantees securiy over circumstance. That is definitely cool. Btw, this verse is actually apart of a prayer by Habakkuk. And men his prayer is accompanied by stinged instruments! Must be some big guy huh?. Ha ok hmmmm ya he is a prophet. Big enough.

Words of
Wisdom
Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
--Hebrews 10:35-36
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Boy there are some tough times in life! They're inescapable.
That's when our confidence in the Lord's salvation and our
relationship with him get tested! It is one thing to sing "it
is well with my soul" at the end of a peel-the-paint worship
service, but it is quite another to be able to sing it when
they auction your house off at the courthouse steps or you've
lost a child to death. That's when the commitment to be who we
want to be overrides the weakness of what we feel. Faith can't
take a holiday when we travel through the suburbs of hell or
we'll never find our way out. So don't throw it away. Be like
Job or Jeremiah who both argued and complained to God. Just
don't quit.
MY PRAYER...
Holy and Almighty God, today is a good day. But I am
profoundly aware that some of those I love are wrestling with
throwing away their confidence in your love, mercy, grace,
peace, and deliverance. Please use me, but even more I pray
that you use your Holy Spirit to renew their hearts. I pray
that you intervene directly to change the course of events and
give them relief. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

::Pator Kong::
I believe its another Me and my blog time. I have not much things to write. On how headache i've been over prelims .... and how inefficient i am in studying. SIGHZ ... Just hope time will lengthen itself for me so that i can complete whatever i planned to complete. Will that help?
Service and Cell group was excellent as usual. Not to mention Pator Kong laid hands on me =D !! and of course almost every other students as well. Pastor Kong preached about The Holy Spirit aka the Cool spirit as known to him as a child. He said that when he was 11, the Holy spirit slapped a High 5 on his hand as he raise his hands up and he got pretty excited from then. Well the message sure highlights alot about the importance of the Holy Spirit in our christian walk and what we need to do to usher in the presence. Men i wished to share more but kinda tired now. Kinda happy today to see most of my cell group members and sit with them. 'Cos most of the time i am serving as usher during service and hardly have time to meet or spend some time with them during service. So everything was pretty cool and breezy this night. And men its 12 am++. So this post should be for yesterday night. I should be pressing the delete button to erase and change some of the time and bla bla but i am to bla bla tired to change the information and the result of this is that i have crapped a few irritating lines to entertain myself. Nevertheless the sky is black now and i should go to bed. Gd nite.

Today's Service.
Prayer. Everyone knows prayer is part and parcel of every Christian's life. But do you know its significance?
Here are today's points :
-Prayer is the key to fruitfulness in the spiritual realm.
The gifts of the are Holy Spirit : Patience, peace, long-suffering, love, kindness etc...
-Prayer is the key to revival.
Revival in your dead Christian walk. Revival in your school, workplace.
-The basis of an incredible prayer life is the relationship with God
-There is no shortcut to having a good prayer walk. As the quote says "To finish first, you must first finish" If you want to have impressive result, you got to start doing it and finishing it. Start praying.
-Birth your commitment/work throught prayer.
Ask and it shall be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it will be open
-Pray again. And again. And again.
James 5:17-18.
7 things ti make prayer work.
1)Desire it. - Earnestly desire it
2)Decide upon it -Believe in yr decision
3)Ask for it -Ask repeatedly
4)Receive it -Receive with thanksgiving
5)Speak it -Believe and say it
6)See it -Visalise it coming to past
7)ACt on it -Crossover, Rise after you sink
Those are the brief points from my notes. Hope it will bless all who came to read upon it. Feel free to ask if you are not sure about any of the points :)
And yup. I am VERY happy. I got myself a Student's Life Application Bible (NLT) which is very cool!! It has lots and lots of things in it. More than my small little NIV bible in comparison. Hehehe Took part of my saving to go buy it.
*updates : Added new lyrics under lyrics section. Today's song Gotta be Alright is in it :P Added some other stupid song lyrics also. Haaa . Tat's all the end.

Well i didn't blog this last night but i am gonna talk abit about Friday's Happenings first:
Friday < or yesterday > < or the day before today>
Well i must say some bits about a believers life. A christian walk is planted with many obstacles, many hardships. Many can view it as an obstacle course. But the sure cool difference between this obstacle course is that someone has finished the course already. Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith has already completed it. It is sure pleasant to know there is someone to lean on, someone to look upon to, for advice and for help, ..for encouragement etc.. Wouldn't he be the one?
Christians sin. I am no exception. God has amazing grace. But not crazy grace. I have been very disappointed with myself. I am often fustrated over my life. Sometimes i sink into depression. Deep one. Pastor Aries said before : Depression is like a Black hole. It Sucks. It sucks u so deep in it until you aren't sure which dimension you are now in. That's why people sink into depression. It's just like falling off a building but you'll never find the ending point where you can just hit it and end it. When i worry, i really worry. I will imagine and will blame .. blame myself . Sigh. And that's why i love God.
Fortunately for me, this deep black tunnel of falling-into-nothing has an exit. God always have a way. This happens at Cell group. I went with cell group yesterday with a burden heart. A heart loaded with problems and sigh sometimes i don't understand myself. I would sometimes sink so deep in depression and sometimes i don't feel like there is anything to sink anymore. And later i will start sinking again. Crazy feeling. The devil is giving me an ultra hard time lately. And he has nearly succeeded in making feel that God doesn't want me anymore. God doesn't love me anymore. No one does. I am glad healing has began in the midst of worship in the cell grp. During the worship i can feel blast after blast of this different undescribable feeling. Not goose bumps. And i feel slightly peaceful. I can say that i am still not senstive enought to the Holy spirit because i can't tell how being in the prescence of God is really like. It's very vague. The problem lies with my Quiet time. And sister Xiu Wen has spoke about Being Still in front of the lord. I've tried hard to get to feel this presence but yet the simple answer is be still. "Be still and know that i am God". To seek earnestly is one thing. Being still and acknowledging is also crucial to usher the presence. Coming to realise this important aspect that i miss. I am sure happy to know that my future prayer time will be more efficient and better. Might report on my progress about this later.
Cell group is about Faithfulness, Fruitfulness and Faith. To be good ministers of the Lord, we have to ensure we are faithful, we are fruitful and we have faith. It was a good message and Chua, the current speaker of this message and cell group leader of w281, spoke about his experience. About how he evaluated himself and has been quite satisfied that he is a good minister to his colleagues in his 6.1/2 yrs company. So cell grp eas enriching.

Christians sin. I am no exception. God has amazing grace. But not crazy grace. I have been very disappointed with myself. I am often fustrated over my life. Sometimes i sink into depression. Deep one. Pastor Aries said before : Depression is like a Black hole. It Sucks. It sucks u so deep in it until you aren't sure which dimension you are now in. That's why people sink into depression. It's just like falling off a building but you'll never find the ending point where you can just hit it and end it. When i worry, i really worry. I will imagine and will blame .. blame myself . Sigh. And that's why i love God.
Fortunately for me, this deep black tunnel of falling-into-nothing has an exit. God always have a way. This happens at Cell group. I went with cell group yesterday with a burden heart. A heart loaded with problems and sigh sometimes i don't understand myself. I would sometimes sink so deep in depression and sometimes i don't feel like there is anything to sink anymore. And later i will start sinking again. Crazy feeling. The devil is giving me an ultra hard time lately. And he has nearly succeeded in making feel that God doesn't want me anymore. God doesn't love me anymore. No one does. I am glad healing has began in the midst of worship in the cell grp. During the worship i can feel blast after blast of this different undescribable feeling. Not goose bumps. And i feel slightly peaceful. I can say that i am still not senstive enought to the Holy spirit because i can't tell how being in the prescence of God is really like. It's very vague. The problem lies with my Quiet time. And sister Xiu Wen has spoke about Being Still in front of the lord. I've tried hard to get to feel this presence but yet the simple answer is be still. "Be still and know that i am God". To seek earnestly is one thing. Being still and acknowledging is also crucial to usher the presence. Coming to realise this important aspect that i miss. I am sure happy to know that my future prayer time will be more efficient and better. Might report on my progress about this later.
Cell group is about Faithfulness, Fruitfulness and Faith. To be good ministers of the Lord, we have to ensure we are faithful, we are fruitful and we have faith. It was a good message and Chua, the current speaker of this message and cell group leader of w281, spoke about his experience. About how he evaluated himself and has been quite satisfied that he is a good minister to his colleagues in his 6.1/2 yrs company. So cell grp eas enriching.
