Ugh. i thought i missed it. and i was like, YAY.
But applications for SIM are still open!
i guess this is a sign. haha i might as well just go apply. Chances of me getting in is quite high.? OH man. which means, i'll be stuck studying for another 3 years? Oh burgers!
But applications for SIM are still open!

but what choice do we have. Its all about the papers now anyways. everyone has it. so what exactly is the point of having it? i can't seem to understand. and sadly, we're all still heading towards that direction even though we know how "useless" that piece of paper can mean to SOME of us.
Oh wells. i'm a Singaporean. what do you expect! haha
hopefully i come out equipped with some USEFUL skills
.
hopefully i come out equipped with some USEFUL skills

and my Concerns. heh. money money money (i'm singing it like abba.)
its always about you.
I even have to think twice about applying for Uni because the application fee for SIM is about $50 +? Ugh. money. fall from the sky.
Each semester is about 5k? and we have like 3 years to complete. so its 30k in total? around there. Ugh. once again. money!! FALL FROM THE SKY!!
.
.
Then again. If i have the opportunity to study. why not.
i mean, i like being a student. and you only get to be one like for 20 years of your life.
and for the rest of the other 50 years, you have to work.
SO Being a student is still the best. + i'll be entitled for the student meal! (instead of buying happy meals in future! hahaha)
.
.
and i better dont talk so much. sekali cannot get in. then i'll scratch my funny bone and start laughing to myself. haha.

not forgetting.
i have a dog with weird sleeping habits. look closely at his "very appealing" pose that day. haha
oh my. his head is bigger then mine. (and dylan hates that i suppose. haha)
I got it i got it!
okay yes.. what did i get
A HAND PHONE. YES.
okay i havent got it. but i'm GETTING.
See. Staying at home once in a while can be that beneficial. :) :)
i could have gotten it like today but the "Very helpful" Sales girl had to tell my mum that M1 launches a new promotion campaign every Saturday.
(Rightt.. I didn't know M1 offers a new promotion every Saturday. heh Now we know. haha So dont buy phones on a Friday! you'll never know if the price might just drop the next day. haa)
boooo So i have to WAIT.
Ugh but i've been waiting since last year!
I hate waiting seriously. But often times its the WAITING that gets you the better stuff. :)
I used to be one of those that MUST get what i want when i see it. And i either end up not getting it, or i get a cheapo lousy one.
Now, i've learnt to be patient. And because of that, i end up getting things better than what i expect. E.g the camera and soon the phone.
All because i waited patiently.
So EVERYONE. WAIT.
So EVERYONE. WAIT.
haha okay whatever... M1 better come up with a good promotion!
So..I've my eyes set on the LG chocolate.
But i dont need a 3G phone! and they dont sell the older version anymore. OH WELLS.
im actually looking for a $0 phone cos i dont want to spend my mum's money although she said tt the budget is no more than $100.
but i dont know what got into my mum today.. she just said: buy la. buy what ever you like. so HMM.
I REALLY SHOULD STAY AT HOME MORE OFTEN. :) :)
(and this time i didnt have to write a "proposal" to buy my phone! which i was required to do so when i was younger. haha
This comes when you have a teacher as your mum. :))
This comes when you have a teacher as your mum. :))
haha So The staying home package includes:
*Lunch at Din tai Fung
Okay la. NOT THAT FANTASTIC.
Okay la. NOT THAT FANTASTIC.
We had the Pork and the one with crab meat.
Really No fight with the one i had in Taiwan's Din tai fung.
*2 new Hi-Fi sets!
Okay told my mum i didnt need it but she insist. So one for her room and the other for the study room.
Its only $33 from courts!! only if you have some cut out coupon from the newspaper. GO BUY IT. :) i mean if you dont mind a Hi-fi set that looks like a fake IPOD speaker. haha
*a new heel.
My mum wanted to buy me two new heels but i declined the offer. cos i didnt want to spend money again.
so yes.
+ a new top from Topshop!
Actually no. i havent got it too. But my mum says that we will buy it.
.
I like shopping with Mrs Lam. I mean more than the Buys, its also to get together and let her know that i still love her even when i'm out so often and that i really enjoy her company (which includes listening to her childhood adventure stories for the 10039995855030th time. HAHA)

OH. then i was rushing down for Joyce's birthday dinner at Marina's Billy Bombers.
And I was late. i'm always late!!
(thats why you see me walking so fast Jasper. haha)
Happy Birthday to you in Pink.! haha
(i got you some wardrobe soap on your last birthday at IBM remember? This time its a bear. so its more high class. haha)
.
You see. we have the weirdest match of people at that table. haha 1/4 of them i dont know very well and the other picture? Heh Dont we look like some Tour Group!? and the pretty one in Blue looks like our tour guide. HAHA. okay not funny.
I wish we could have made Joyce's birthday a more memorable one!
(but hopefullyshe enjoyed herself even in the midst of the Weirdest mix of people) haha
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
OH YA.
Was suppose to have the worship leaders cell today. but i didnt go. And i really hope Andrew is not angry at me or what so ever. BUT. i really couldn't help it! psycho-ed joyce to change HER bday dinner to thurs thinking that i have rehearsal on Friday but only to find out yesterday that there is a meeting. Didnt know earlier cos i wasnt there the last meeting. SO OH WELLS.
I would have gone and met joyce another day if i wasnt the one who suggested to celebrate it on Thursday!
Bad position to be in heh.
NVM :)
So i met up with Jia and dore at Vivo yesterday.
And our dressing? The weirdest match ever. haha
I came in my usual shorts (thinking that there might be a possibility of the rain stopping and i can FINALLY go to sentosa.)
Dorena came in her dress. (thinking that we may or may not go. So either one she will still be "dressed appropriately" for the beach and for the mall.)
Jia came in Jeans. (thinking that the weather might be too cold and that we will never go sentosa in the end)
So who won? ME of course! haha
we went to sentosa in the end. lala.
THIS IS A SUPER LONG ENTRY.
Maybe cos i've never been to sentosa for the longest time ever.
and the place looks so different. heh.
We sat the monorail and posed with a fish. dont really know why. haha
and in case you dont know..
I'm strong enough to lift an "S".
Then we got our tattoos done! YAY. haha
okay more like a fake tattoo that is sprayed on. haha so loser. But its for the fun of it. and besides i would never get a real tattoo because the bible tell me so. ;)
.jpg)
We took a really long bus ride. Because we missed the Stop which we were suppose to alight at. So we went one big round. heh
Oh and many tourist from India. Like a whole bus full. haha
Just when Dorena said:" I will never pick up calls from an unknown number!"
Do the banana dance.
The Rock took the picture for us.
We Paid $5 and now we stand on higher grounds.
Yes $5 for a sky ride which i got so Sky-ride sick after that. haha i think i got motion sickness. boo
But Its interesting cos we stood there and the chair came scooping us up! haha okay cheap thrill.
So after that we went back to Vivo for dinner. and i met my cousin and cousin in-law with their 2 kids in the monorail. Strange-ness to the maximum really.
To think we once grew up together. haha
Oh then we Found out that Jia has a special ability.
and that is Talking to Dogs. haha.
Sometimes I wonder.
Whats so nice about taking pictures in the toilet.
Cant believe we queued like an hour for a few pieces of dough.
Okay not any ordinary dough. Its VINCE DOUGHNUTs. haha. like anyone cares who he is.
But it was worth it really. (i still like dunkin doughnuts. but i forgot how it taste like haha)
Oh and We bought almost every single flavour and we ate ALL of it.
Oh and We bought almost every single flavour and we ate ALL of it.
KIDDING. we only had 2 each. Boo. the rest we bought it for the people at home (:
But the Wait is ridiculous. I mean yes the doughnuts are good. but 1 hour!!? i cant understand why it takes so long to serve us doughnuts. its not like it comes out piping hot and fresh from the oven and then they pack it for you. In fact its all cold and the shape is ugly haha.
The service is so SLOW. The servers were like dragging their feet, taking their own sweet time packing the doughnuts.
Some flavours were not available so we had to wait for another 30 mins after ordering.
and i dont understand again why they dont allow you to pay, take a queue number, go walk around and come back to collect it later. You must stand there and wait.
WHY? haha bad system.
And they should really play some music. Fast music. Then it makes the place more exciting and at the same time, they will move faster. haha.
Their job recruitment notice says: we want Fun loving and Energetic people.
Seriously. they need some. haha.
I think they're creating a queue deliberately. Its just doughnuts!! (:
Anyways...
So If anyone is willing............. i like
Chocolate delight
Chocolate Cinnamon
Caramel Cinnamon
Mon Cherry.
Only if you insist. :)
After we got our PRECIOUS DOUGHNUTS, we went window shopping and tried on so many dresses and tops with no intention of buying it. haha i pity the girl who has to put them all back later. i felt bad....... Really. :)
Then We went to the roof top and ate our PRECIOUS DOUGHNUTS. and talked for like hours. if i could sum up our entire conversation. Its money. haha We're so emo about how broke and jobless we are right now.
Its nice meeting up with them and knowing that we're all in the same boat! haha And i'm happy we're meeting again next next week. But Yu Jun is not around still. Boo to that.

Actually I'm no longer jobless. cos i found a job as a secretary.
$7 per hour, 1pm - 10pm daily.
Did i make the right choice? haha WHY did i even agree to a job that ends at 10pm!?
OH WELLS.
Its only a one month job anyways. and it will continue only if there are any further notices. i mean according to the supervisor, who sounded so chee-na haha.
so! i'll earn that pathetic $1000 salary to pay off my debts and hopefully work for the next month to pay for my future trips HAHA
and besides. its flexible (in a way) so i can take leave on certain days to go out.
So i'll work for the next one month then we'll see what other jobs come my way later.
Its better than nothing righttt.......
Its better than nothing righttt.......
there goes my freedom. Starting from 2 MAY.

Think i'm going out way too often.
My mum says she's lonely and she misses me.
So today i decided to stay home and cooked both lunch and dinner for my parents.
No wonder my mum look so happy today. haha maybe i can get my handphone soon becuase of this.
cross my fingers. :) :)
oh and if you call and after a while it gets cut off.. im sorry. Cos the phone is retarded. Jamming all the time. haha
You really dont have to know this.
But I'm so bored.
So this is Really RANDOM.
.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
LOOK WHAT I'VE FOUND!

I once had mini feet.

There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town..
say it with me: GOOD MORNING BELLE!
Try fitting in.
Its interesting to see the slight transition that is going on in my life. I mean in terms of leading praise and worship. In the past I used to be so nervous. Its like I’ll screw up each time I lead the with the guitar. But on saturday it was much easier? (just that I was perspiring so much, my face was dripping wet!) I suppose its the confidence that I’ve gain over the past few months. Even in the area of singing. Strange, but I think I’ve improved a little. It feels more effortless now. So I can concentrate on leading and worshiping rather than bother so much about how badly I sound!
Even so, I’ll never rely any lesser on God.
OKAY But i sounded so horrible in the 3rd service! haha jiu wo. Good thing the anointing covered up for us.
Sabby and I sounded like Men! haha Think i asserted too much in the praise song and by the time its worship, my voice CRACKED! haha its okay..learning experience i call it. :)
and its time to train up the Voice! so i'm going for vocal classes and also to learn how not to squeak when i speak! haha BOO its $90! Where to find.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Find job find job.
UGH. i really should just get a full time job and stop being so picky right?
no such thing as easy money.
okay. 9 -5 job. I AM WILLING.
*but if there is a part time job that pays like good money, i'll take!!! i'll take!!
HAPPY WORKING JULS. haha i'll be waiting at the hotel lobby between 5 - 7pm.
I need to start working out.
After badminton and a not so competitive 400m race, I finally realized just how bad my stamina really is.

I took over to carry baby Caleb and i made him laugh so hard as i was singing old mcdonalds, that he puked on me! Ugh GROSS!!
But he’s so cute la. Like a mini man or a laughing baby. Haha.

So it’s okay. I’ll take it as an advance preparation for motherhood. :) :)
Today, Cell was different.
At least to me..
At least to me..
Maybe because it was a combine cell, so the dynamics were better. But there was this unusual bond that didn’t really take place in the past. Everyone was screaming, laughing etc etc.
Haha it's heartwarming to see how everyone was interacting with one another really.
Look at their faces above... AWW. hahaha
I'm glad Meida “seemed” slightly more comfortable with the new cell and that Justin is getting acquainted with everyone, unlike him 2 years ago. OH Oh and having stephie as our new cell member. haha

Makes you smile really.
O. and I think Jul and I can consider professional basking! Haha Christine said the other day, that just the two of us can provide enough entertainment for everyone.
Okay, maybe its time for more serious behaviour and less clowning around. + act like we're 20!haha
ANYWAYS yes, we should have cell like that more often.
we’re still new to one another! :)
Sidenote: KFC's whatever BBQ melt thing is not fantastic. HEH. infact quite pathetic. haha
Oh ya, the cell went to TP for badminton. So duh. i'm almost no longer a student there and finally i start using the facility that i could have enjoyed for past 3 years. haha
Aww. dont you miss school?
I dont really miss TP. But i miss being a student. :)
okay yes, i miss TP. boo
SHOULD HAVE enjoyed myself there and then. haha

OH ya. Disclaimer.
I'm not EMO in my previous entry please! haha Really not. Just random thoughts la. tsk tsk
its just that i'm... Jobless, school-less and aimless! haha KIDDING.
Time to move along, move along.
Time to move along, move along.
(Dajie, i'm quoting your song! haha)
What’s next?
I’m jobless, school-less and aimless. :)
Here’s THE DOWNFALL
1) At Pri 5 I had a Grade 5 cert in Piano. Mum wanted me to complete Grade 8 and take a diploma in music so I can teach if I’m ever jobless. I got itchy and QUIT learning just because I was lazy.
Now, I totally (okay not entirely) forgot how to play.
2) Too lazy in primary school so I did fairly okay only. My mum is a teacher, so i SHOULD have done well and i had many opportunities. But ohwells.
I’m jobless, school-less and aimless. :)

Got itchy and ranked Ping Yi as my 6th choice for fun.
Got “lucky” and got into Ping Yi but didn’t know where Ping Yi was.
3) Too playful in Ping Yi, didn’t do well in the first 2 years and got myself into a lousy class taking Literature and Art in the 3rd year. (Okay kinda my 2 favourite subjects anyways.) So, i did pretty well in Sec 3, excelled in the most unlikely subjects like Math and Chemistry, became a wannabe over achiever in non-academic activities.
From a class position of 20+ I became 2nd. From a level position of 100+ I became 20+.
Got itchy and lazy and stopped paying attention just before the big Os. Studied last min and couldn’t get into JC. Cry cry cry.
4) Got into TP business IT instead. Know NUTS about IT, decided to be anti-social so I didn’t participate in camps. Thought I was too busy so I didn’t join a CCA. Didn’t do well, but i could have done well in the final Sem to push up my GPA and get pretty good grades but just got itchy.
Now I’m left with AVERAGE grades with NO non-academic achievements.
5) Got rejected by NIE, and MISSED the other Uni applications. Actually, the main reason is not because i MISSED the application but i deliberately missed it. haha
Now i question myself. WHAT AM I TRYING TO DO!?
I was just thinking. I could have gone into SIM if I had applied for it. Then I would have gotten back on track and end up in NIE later and finally teaching.
Being jobless, I could have been teaching music or giving tuition if I’m smarter.

I could have gone into a good secondary school then to JC then a direct route into UNI. And my future would be all planned out.
I believe I’m not stupid. okay duh. no one is stupid. Haha But seriously, I think I can be quite an achiever because i know I do well in things. But there’s this element of laziness and I cannot follow through what I've started with. Really a Jack of all trades, master of none.
TOO LATE TOO LATE.
Now we only look back and say, “why didn’t I?”

Now we only look back and say, “why didn’t I?”
and i realise just how many "could have been" i've said.
On a lighter note, I believe everything happens for a reason. Haha I wouldn’t have met Him if I didn’t get into Ping Yi and yes, wouldn’t be in Cornerstone and yes, wouldn’t have know jul and the rest and YES, i would be who i am today. So okay, not so bad!
BUT

What’s next? :)
What’s next? :)
There i fell in love.
NOT with pst San Min. haha with Myanmar. :)
I really really miss Myanmar.
The people and the culture.
I'll be back! :)
Our schedule was super tight.
everyday its; 2 morning sessions, 1 workshops and 1 night session.
Sunday we had 3 services in total.
i really wonder how the people can endure. By the end of the 2nd day, we were all drained out!
All of us practically lost our voices cuz we were speaking so much.
It was really an adventure.
Halfway, the power would go out and we had preach without a mic.
There are no walls in the church, so you have dogs running in and out.
They rear Pigs at the back,
and the weather is so Hot. haha
Every time we left the hotel our lives would be in danger cuz its chaos out there. haha
Its their water festival so everyone would be dancing to the techno beat (actually, the people have no sense of rhythm AT ALL haha)
you see people packing themselves into a small pickup van, some just hung on, some sat on the car roof etc. Oh my. so dangerous.
They have little or no traffic lights, everyone had pails of water and some water hoses...
It was chaos! haha
On the 2nd last day we got onto a taxi with no windows! so yay. we got wet. FYI, they added ice into the water. haha. so its SUPER COLD.
Oh yes, the Taxis. they only have one handle to wind the windows up. So you have to pass the handle around, fix it in and wind it up. haha. and one of our cab's wiper was broken off! poor guy had to wipe it manually. haha. It was hilarious.
Their inflation rate is horrible. Prices Tripled!
Out of the 6 days tt we were there, 6 days was the water festival. It's their new year so all shops closed! Sorry no souvenirs. :)
Oh wells, Apart from all the fun and adventure, the sessions were great. God moved and lives were changed.
So was mine.
I spoke like i've never spoked before, prayed like i've never prayed before. and probably the team will think thats how i normally speak and prayed cuz they have never seen me shared before. But i know sth was different there.
Its a Special Grace. :)
Their passion and hunger is so contagious.
Their servant hood and love makes you want to serve and love like they do.
Their faith makes you want to dream and believe for sth more.
I almost didnt want to come back. haha

Nervous.
Excited.
Very excited.
Extremely excited.
Still nervous.
I look old beside them. And i miss them ALL badly.
We're on a mission and We'll be enduring the HEAT together.
So yes, we're leaving on the 12th (morning) and back on the 17th (night). only 5 days! but I think i'll grow to love myanmar alot more. :)
Thank God its silkair. Thank God its a 5 star hotel. Doesnt sound like a mission trip huh. haha.

Sony Cybershot T20.
Kindly sponsored by MOE. :) haa
Okay, MOE gives teachers a yearly allowance of $700 to buy any related teaching materials. So with that, my mum gave me a budget of $600 to buy a good camera.
So this cost me about $530?
Seriously, I would never spend that much on a camera if its my own money. and i was so tempted to buy the T100? the RED one. heh. but its $600. oh wells, this is way good enough for me already. and interestingly this was what my mum intially wanted. So okays.
Besides, I'm not really techy. So i go for the Look of the camera and not really the specifications?
(Sony looks best. NOT PANASONIC)
haha. so materialistic.

Good thing Qinsheng came with me. If not i would have been cheated! SIM LIM people are really skimming...
we shopped from 4plus till abouttt... 7 plus. HEH. i've never felt so tired shopping before. haha and in the end we went back to the first store! UGH.
So Here's what i've learnt from Sim Lim.
There's competition. They know you're comparing prices.

So Here's what i've learnt from Sim Lim.
There's competition. They know you're comparing prices.
So they throw you an unbelievable price you just cant say no to.
Then you leave to recce even more. and ultimately you'll return to that one shop because they offered you the "best price".
Then, they start telling you how bad the camera is and introduce a "better" and more Expensive camera.
Convincing you that your initial choice is really BAD and you should get the other one.
Convincing you that your initial choice is really BAD and you should get the other one.
We (or rather QS) got smart and insisted on the initial one we chose.
THEN they tell you they only have ONE set available. Which is the display.
So. just walk away.
So. just walk away.
okay. maybe everyone already knows about this technique of theirs. but its certainly new to me!
Lesson learnt! :)
Longest time since i've been to Billy Bombers.
The food, service and everything else seems so much better. the last time i went, it was miserable.
Now, they serve Ben and jerry's ice cream for dessert! COOL. and even my fellow "junior" while i was working there became the manager. wooo...
Cant believe i endured the ugly bow tie and sailor hat thing.
Meet the Robinsons is the cutest thing really.
i think i like the show. haha

This is seriously one of those very few days that i feel like sleeping at 1am. YAWN.
A walk down Haji Lane.
We found treasures.. but at unaffordable prices.
Thank God i have Jul to date me out.
I just realised how pampered we are. haha we'd go to the nearest hotel to satisfy ourselves cuz we cant take dirty public toilets at shopping malls. Well done.
OH yes...Hotel inter continental need to play some music in their toilets seriously. Its TOO QUIET. if not people cant do business in there. :)
OH OH! we saw JOLIN. you know that skinny Taiwanese singer.
look at how enthusiastic we are! haha yeah right.
So many people there just to get her signature and SHE DIDNT EVEN SING. Everyone had to wait like so long for her to come out. haha BIG SHOT i guess.
we saw the queue, went in to toilet, came out, saw the queue again, went to have lunch, came out, saw the queue, went back in to shop, came out.. and finally she came. JIU WO.

Accompanied the youth Alive Band to Supper today. It was interesting.
and I had fun interacting with them (other then having been teased at) haha but i'm glad i went. :)
I had to force myself to speak Good english. haha and just a few hours with them made me feel like i'm going develop some aussie slang already.
Why O why?
My other grandpa (grandpa Lam) had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital yesterday.
Now i have two sick grandpas. Its so much strain emotionally and financially on our family really. My mum told me that each time she brings my grandpa (Grandpa Wong) for his Chemo, its about $1200++ cash. And all other medical fees already wiped out 1/2 my mum's medisave. Now, its going to be worst cuz my other grandpa (Grandpa Lam) is in the hospital. And my family is supposedly the most “well off” amongst the rest, just because we live in a bigger house. So the expectation is that we have to foot most of the bill. BUT, the reality is that we don’t have That much money! and Mum was saying that at the end of day, she would end up not having any medisave left for herself.
Oh Wells. Money isn’t everything. But with it, you can do just ABOUT anything.
I’m glad people are going up to Grandpa Wong’s place really soon to share the gospel with him. Why not my mum and I do it ourselves right? I mean yes, that’s because both my mum and I cant speak Chinese for nuts but sometimes the issue isn’t really about some language barrier but simply because we JUST DON’T KNOW HOW TO this time. I have shared the gospel with unknown people on the streets, to friends etc. But when it comes to family, everything else seems much harder.
Now I realize why some people find it so hard to give your parents a hug, or even say daddy mummy I love you, yet doing it all the time with friends. I Thank God that i'm brought up in a family where hugging and telling each other I love you is quite a norm.
Oh! I was surprised when grandpa wong actually allowed some of my mum’s friends to pray for him. I guess when you’re desperate for a cure anything goes. :)
Next week I’ll be in Myanmar!! I’m really excited and really really stressed. :) I don’t want to shortchange the people there with my lousy “preaching” skills and with no anointing!! Haha but I’m believing God for sth great and hopefully He’ll surprise me like how He always do. BUT OH How will I survive there!! The temperature is 40 degrees and I cant wear tank tops!!! + its their water festival. So i can expect to get wet? Haha JIU WO. And thinking about how many messages i have to prepare really scares me. :) :)
BUSY BUSY BUSY.

UNCLE TONY (my tenant) MOVED OUT. haa. FREEDOM! oops talk about loving people. haha but i do. just some minor issues, like making my toilet so GROSS and DESTROYING the house + invade my privacy.
SO.. i'm shifting into his room. yay. its much bigger and i could definitely use the wardrobe space cuz its hugee!! i spent like an hour scrubbing the toilet. (jul, its sparkly clean now) my mum thinks that i'm cleaning the toilet too seriously. like i'm too paranoid. haha i wore gloves, emptied out her detergents, scrub rinse scrub and rinse more than 4 times. haha. Yee! esp the toilet bowl. and i moped the room floor and wiped the cupboards like 3 times over. Think i'm too pampered maybe.

I just found a new route to my future.
I just found a new route to my future.
Try apply for a degree in marketing or business management in SMU or SIM. (about 1.5 - 2.5 years)
Graduate then i'll see if i have the desire to teach. If yes, go NIE and take a 1 year diploma.
OO. then i'll have a diploma in BIT, a degree and another diploma in Teaching. Sounds pretty good to me :) its even faster than my initial plan of taking a 4 year degree in teaching.
BUT. thats if i can get into SMU or SIM first.
I Have decided. To follow Jesus.
No turning back, no turning back.
Its been the longest time since i've cried at the altar. I asked Him what is it that he requires of me so as to be a disciple. And he answered in the simplest way but it was the hardest thing that i had to give.

5 things cross carrying disciples do
1. They exhibit Single Hearted Devotion to Jesus
2. They live a life of sacrifice
3. They are totally surrendered to God
4. They are a suitable candidate for greatness.
5. They are salty people that make others thirst for God
I guess we've have heard this message over a million times. But have i paid the price and say that i am a disciple of Jesus or am i simply just an admirer of him.
The 12 apostles.
Andrew - crucified
Bartholomew - beaten then crucified
James, son of Alphaeus - stoned to death
James, son of Zebedee - beheaded
John - exiled for his faith; died of old age
Judas (not Iscariot) - stoned to death
Matthew - speared to death
Peter - crucifed upside down
Philip - crucified
Simon - crucified
Thomas - speared to death
Matthias - stoned to death
These people laid down everything they had for Him and they risked themselves for the sake of proclaiming the gospel.
For us? its always about me myself and I. No wonder we live a powerless life.
I'll never know how much it cost.
We've been preaching too much about cheap grace instead of costly grace. Christianity was never a bed of roses. There are so many of us who are labelled as Christians but never did walk the walk. Maybe thats why non-Christians have that much misconceptions about us. Call us hypocrites? I'm not surprised. But i'm/we're only humans.
I'm trying. Trying with all i am to be more like him each day. I cant be perfect but my heart's desire is Jesus and for him to make me perfect. Trails may come, but i know, i'll never be a backsliden christian because i have met Him.
How can one say that something is there and real when he/she hasn't touched of felt it before. so likewise, thats how i know my Jesus is real. :)
Right. it sounds like i'm almost preaching here. But thats what i've been thinking about. My life, my call, the people. Am i just going to live life like that...Growing up, be a mediocre Christian, have fun, build a career, have a family and then die of old age?? Being an understudy worship leader.. is it just fulfilling the expectation of others over my life? How can i keep my flock safe? Ugh, all the things that are going through my head. I cant sleep now.

Oh wells, ultimately its all about loving God and loving his people.
"I have one passion. And that passion is Jesus and Jesus only."
I guess today was really an inspiring day. I know i have renewed my vision, my love and my passion for Jesus once again. SO NO TURNING BACK. :) :)

I'm really grateful for friends.
If not, i'd be the most miserable person to have walked planet earth.
And i'm grateful to have a close friend. At least one that i know i can keep for life.
To think i met Jul in the weirdest way. (She thought i was an ang moh named Elizabeth and offered me disgusting crushed raisin biscuits haha and I thought she was the messiest girl alive cuz she looked like she doesn't own a comb or packed her stuff)
Oh wells, somethings are left unsaid but we know they mean the world to us. :)
