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 vulne...

.:: 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...

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-ye...

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...

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 ...

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 an...

By faith these people overthrew kingdoms , ruled with just ice , 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 fr...

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.

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 h...

The Lord God is my strength ; He will make my feet like deer's f eet , And He will make me walk on my high h ills . 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.

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...

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 servi...

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.

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...
