time. happened to be talking abt it ytd with a friend.
time. it's something that can never be brought back once it's gone. it's a gift from God to teach us how to cherish things and people around us.
if let's say, an average person lives till.. 70 yrs old.. so thats like
70 X 365 = 25550 days
so now, how many days left do you have on this earth? and how are you going to use it?
maybe to some, the importance of time may mean that, they would want to try everything before leaving this world. like bungy-jumping, climbing mt. everest etc ... to me, it's abt hoping that the rest of my big family -my aunties and uncles and cousins- will accept Christ [of cos, not just sit down and plainly hope la, have to do smthg abt it also. if not, it's still a waste of time.. ha =P]
ive began to realise how impt time is ever since 苏婆婆 passed away. it made me think about my loved ones who have yet to know/accept Christ. esp my grandma. there isnt like, alot of time left. not that my grandma is sick or what .. but she's old already. 75 this year. who knows what will happen the next minute... so.. yeah. im praying that my grandma will accept Christ soon.. and of course, my aunties, uncles and cousins too (:
have you seen the importance of time?
祢的爱祢创造宇宙万物
统管一切所有
但祢却关心我的需要
了解我的感受
祢手铺陈天上云彩
打造永恒国度
但这双手却甘心为我
忍受彻骨钉伤苦痛
祢公义审判万民
圣洁光照全地
但祢却一再赐恩典 一再施怜悯
给我机会回转向祢
祢的爱如此温柔
超乎我心所想
这样大有能力的主
竟捧我在手掌心上
祢的爱如此深切
我知我无以报答
但愿倒空我的生命
学习祢谦卑的样式
背起我自己的十字架
another beautiful song by 赞美之泉
haha. i rly love the meaning of the songs..
very nice, very meaningful (:
勇敢走出去我并不完美 也并不特别
而祢确是为我舍弃生命的主
我时常软弱 有时会迷惑
但祢是道路真理和生命
(chorus)
主祢要往哪里走
我就跟祢走
领我走到世界尽头
一生不再回头
让世界听到我们敬拜我们的祷告让复兴从我们开始將主爱带到人群中(coda)
纵然有许多的问题
我也不放弃
祢大能赐给我勇气
我会勇敢走出去

最珍贵的角落
谢谢你灿烂笑容 照亮我的天空
谢谢你分享心情 把我放在你心中
夜里有时为寒冷 你我生根同暖土
友情是最亮的星 我的生命从此美丽
当你被花朵包围尽情欢欣
我带春风使你舞其中
当你正走在坎坷路
我会伴你在左右
一起向蓝天欢呼 向白云招手
我们要一起笑一起哭
千万人中有个人懂我
你有最珍贵的角落
this is one of the songs in 赞美之泉's latest dual album no. 12, "永远尊贵" & "最尊贵的角落". i like this song, "最尊贵的角落" alot. it's a song about friendship ... quite meaningful. like the friendship, the relationship between God and us.
in fact, i think i like all the other songs in the 2 albums very much too. haha. rly very nice and meaningful. some of the songs are "你的爱","专爱","只因你","生命活 水充满我" etc .... mostly talks about God's love for all of us. very nice (:
had a good time of sharing with ps. ivy and joeyee tdy. glad that we all can be an encouragement and support for one another. it feels good when someone understands what you're talking about. and im glad that there is another friend to walk together on this spiritual journey (:
and, thank God! my grandma and big aunt will be coming to church this sunday! hopefully they wont change their mind. God rly answers our prayers! Amen! (:
working is tiring. no wonder pple say, "enjoy studying, it's better than working." hahaha. well, i guess both have it's joy and hard work la. and hor. i miss sch. hahaha. nv thought i will say this .. must remind myself nxt time when im doing projects, preparing for tests/exams. hahaha :P
anyway, tdy had the
fastest-fingers-first "game" again. yah. it's time to choose timetables. super scary. cos i was in the office, told gary that i've to take a short time off to choose timetable. then i called peiwen at abt 2.58. HAHAHA. she, lav and deb were at deb's hse .. they took a few hours off work to choose timetable lor. then we were like super nervous .. and when the clock struck 3pm. wah i tell you. it was total madness. it was like "ehhh. why like that!! hang alr! the thing is stuck!! how?!!! eh. die lar!! howww?!! ahhhh!!!" hahha. this is what happens when too many pple are logging on and choosing at the same time. hahha. then after the website was ok, then it went like that "okok. yah. 03, 03! yah quick quick! click click click!!!!! yah!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YAYYY!!!!" hahahaha. my left ear is abt to become deaf with all the screaming over the phone hahhahaha.
and then after the whole timetable episode, i felt like laughing out loud suddenly. hahahahhaahaha. dnoe why leh. i think it's to relieve the tension lor. my gdness. hahahha! :D and then i contd with my work lor.
ok, that aside, 查大爹 and 查大妈 went back to 恩典之家 tdy afternoon alr... so fast ): i hvnt tk photo with them yet leh ... i miss 查大爹's smile. haha. anyway, i told them alr, i'll be going back nxt yr. so, i'll see them nxt yr then (: cnt wait! i miss the kids so much! cnt wait to see how much they grown. i asked 查大妈 the other time, and she said they have all grown up quite a bit alr. haa. nxt yr, nxt yr! (:
oh, and just to let those who have yet to know.. Rev. Ng is at home resting and recuperating now. Do continue to keep him in your prayers k (:
had the once a month missions gathering again this afternoon after church. 查大爹 and tao rong shared with us. got to know abt how the 回菊教会 started, how 恩典之家 can be used as the mission base to spread the gospel to the other people in the villages and in the future, to spread to China and Myanmar.
we also talked abt how we can actually help out or serve in the 回菊村. a chinese school will be set up behind 恩典之家, and the children in the village can go there and study, to learn chinese, english and thai language. so tao rong was saying that, we could go there and teach the children chinese or english, cos english is rather difficult for them. and then i thought, maybe this is how some of us, young people, can go there and 事奉 also. another thing is, they are hoping to teach the children in 恩典之家 how to play the electric piano. and i realised there are quite a number of us in church who knows how to play the piano.
after tdy's gathering, i realised that there are many things that we, the 少年人, can do to 事奉 in missions. simple things like teaching the villagers english/chinese, teaching the villagers some basic skills to self-support. it's not like how some of us might think, "aiyah, im still young, what can i do?" there are many things that we can do. now, the only thing is, whether we are willing, and of cos, whether time permits la, cos of school.
and! haha, finally, after going for this once a month gathering for so many months, we have finally decided on a name. ok, actually this gathering is like a fellowship la. haha. so, our name is called 破晓团契, Dawn Fellowship.
why 破晓?
becos all of us who are in this fellowship are interested in serving God in missions. and so it's like, the starting of this fellowship is like the breaking of dawn, 破晓, and then we prepare ourselves and when each of our own time comes, we'll go out. haha. so yes. that's the name of this fellowship. ha! (:
i passed! i passed!! i passed!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
it's a relief for me. the results are ok. overall GPA got 3.125, not as good as my year 1 results, BUT, i can get 3 is already like "wow." hahaha (:

i cried ytd when i told my mum and dad that i was very afraid. i guess i freaked them out, cos when i msged my mum my results tdy, she replied "Great. I was so worried, now you can be relieved, so are you going to boon lay tonight?" hahaha. my dad even funnier. he replied "congratulations! let's have a fiesta feast tonight! .... at boon lay!" hahaha. cos tonight we're going to my grandma's hse at boon lay to play tennis with my cousins and aunts and uncles. then ytd night i said, "see my results lor, if good, then go, not good, dnt go." =P i msged 师母 also. now, coffee is on me lor. haha (:
anyway, i just thank God that my results are fine. THANK YOU GOD!!! :D
ok, back to work =P
i guess i just have to accept whatever that is placed before my eyes tmr. super scared. i rly pray and hope that everything will be ok ...
well, if it doesn't turn out how i hope it will be, i'll need to learn to accept it gracefully then. pray that i'll be ready and prepared to accept whatever is the result tmr. super worried and scared.
yes, tmr's the release of exam results.
dnt ask me how i fare ok. i'll tell you if i tell you. if i dnt, then dnt ask k. sorry... cos this kind of thing, .. how shld i say.. abit hard to explain. so .. sorry, just dnt ask (: and i guess, if i dnt say, you can sort of guess the results also la .....
my heart is beating faster ...
the feeling is like.. waiting for your turn to get shoot in the head. haha :X
just pray for me alrtes (: pray that hopefully my results will be ok, but if it's not, i pray that i'll be prepared to accept the fact.
yesterday's TransWorld Chinese Baptist Mission Conference's open publice theme talk 2 was rly good. some of the testimonies, and the short sermon preached has taught me, reminded me and administer to me many things.
There are so many thoughts that are in my mind, just so many. It's an overwhelming feeling. I rly rly thank God that there are some people who i can share my thoughts and feelings with, and also to be there to encourage one another along this journey, to serve God.
Friends, pray for me ok? Pray that God will continue to direct me on this journey, for me to continue to have faith in Him, to keep my dedication to Him clear.
i guess, this is it then.
im nt going to care abt it anymore.
i've done and said enough.
anything more, is beyond me.
let's all just leave it to God.
