2007 is coming to an end alr. time, indeed passes really fast.

this year has been a year full of ups and downs. and i've really learnt alot. it's been a year where there are really many decisions to make and many problems faced/heard. but, through all this, i can see God's grace, for He has lead me and others through it all. though some may nt be solved yet, but then, that's how we all learn, to have faith in God, to grow in the way how God wants us to. it's all part and parcel of growing up i guess. and also, i've learnt to cherish the people around me more. really. i've been strongly reminded of this lesson of "cherishing the pple around me" this year.

i thank God that through this whole year, i have my friends with me, esp my dearest friends, also an angel and my family. and of cos, my dear shepard, thank you for always being there for me and hearing me talk.

2008 is approaching, many unknowns in the coming year. but, i know that as long as i've faith in God, i need not worry for He will bring me through the ups and downs, and bless me like how He has been blessing me for the past 18 yrs and counting.

this year's christmas has indeed been well spent (:

the christmas musical rally concert on saturday was good! many new friends came for the musical rally concert. had fun being part of the musical too. the message by the reverend was not bad too. after so many practices and rehearsals, it has finally come to an end. but of course, though the musical has come to an end, but the message that is being brought out and God's love will not come to an end.

on christmas eve glowing, soar and small fellowship went for caroling. we went to a senior citizen day care centre, a salon, an old folks home and for our last stop, we went to SGH. felt that it was really very meaningful. especially when we were at the old folks home. i felt a little heart pain when i see the elderlies staying there. not that they dnt have children or their children dnt want them, but just seeing them, having to stay there makes me feel a little sad. however, when i saw the smiles on their faces, i felt so happy. the elderlies were enthusiastic too. though the time spent with them was short, it was still a great time spent with them (:

another very meaningful stop that we went to was to SGH. to me, it's a very different experience and being able to bring some joy to the patients and their family members was certainly worth all the tiredness. i heard frm other grps that there was a patient who teared when they were caroling. to see the smiles on the patients' face and their family members face made me feel very happy.

christmas is not abt just having a gd time and exchanging presents. it's abt sharing the joy, peace and love of God with everyone around us. and being able to share God's love, peace and joy with others made me feel really happy and meaningful. hopefully, next year, we can do it again (:

to my dearest dearest friends [you know who you are]:

this year has been rather eventful huh... many things had happened, and we had many sharing sessions and late night talks. i guess we've all grown up a little huh (: im rly rly thankful that after so many years, we are still close friends (:

looking back, makes me want to cry and smile at the same time. well, there are many things that i want to say, but of course, that is in private, so i shan't say it out here. just know that i'm here always whenever you need me. be happy alright. cos when you all are happy, i'm happy too (:

can't wait for the christmas musical rally concert which is on this coming saturday, 22nd december! had our last full dress rehearsal tdy from 2pm till abt 7pm. everything went quite smoothly i supposed. though there are still some minor stuffs to brush up on. but overall, it was a very good rehearsal tdy! i rly rly enjoyed myself for each of the rehearsals we had for the past 1 mth or so.

seeing how all of us work together to form such a beautiful picture, practicing and rehearsing together with a common purpose in mind, makes me just want to praise God over and over again. there is really no word imaginable that is good enough to praise Him.

everything may change, but His love will never change (:

22nd December! come, and receive the love from above.

Monday, 17th Dec

had the christmas rally musical rehearsal just now. ended at 11+pm .. then we went for supper. haha. felt like it's been ages since i went for the rehearsals though it is only just 1 wk.. haha. enjoyed myself (: it was fun seeing how we worked tgther. pretending to be pubbers [if there is such word. haha] pretending to be passerbys .. and breaking out into a song suddenly. haha. like the movie "Enchanted". walk walk walk then suddenly start singing. hahaha.

my parents and 2 younger siblings went overseas ytd and will only be back on the 24th ... it feels weird without them around for so long .. haha. the house is too quiet. and it's a little boring without them around. and i have to think of programs to fill up my week..

now who wants to date me? hahaha.
wednesday: cannot. got appointments on that day alr, afternoon and night.
thursday: also cannot. got rehearsal.
friday: might be fine, if im not doing project. haha.

just kidding la. this week is busy week.. haha. can't wait for this saturday! it's gonna be fun!

back from SUPERHEROES camp. haha! fun! though i only went for 1 night. the night celebration was hilarious. with all the comical people acting, rly made all of us laugh alot! the night "free-and-easy" worship session was great. me and carmen went to the ava room to listen to the eng cong. youths play. they are rly awesome. the drummer esp! he is very good. i think he is called joel.. the bass guitarist, samuel, and electric guitarist, ps. eric, were good too. haha. me, carmen, bel, samantha and others were just singing away. haha. all good fun (: sang till our throats were sore.. haha.


oh yes, and common tests are over. haha.


finally the holidays are here, and i can have a good rest. though there are still projects to be done and handed in when sch starts... but, yes, the holidays are here (: a short and busy 2 weeks break. but, busy in a fun and enjoyable way. haha. with church's christmas musical rehearsals and caroling practices (:

so, yuexing, carmen and the rest of the mission team is back :D [ok, fine. they've been back for 2 days alr. late post la] i miss the both of them! feels like 10 000 years since i last saw them.. haha.

well. hearing the stories and happenings that they've experienced there ... makes me miss the kids even more.

but, nvm. i will wait. For all is in God's plans and will.


ok. back to the books.

maybe afterall, i'm a sender. not a front-line person ..... ??

tdy, i finally found a "tutor" for my business law module. hahahaha. i'm so happy. ok. i didn't rly find the "tutor" ... the "tutor" came to me herself. she saw me studying in church just now, so she came over and talked to me, asking what i was studying. i told her i was studying my business law module, den she said that it was an easy subject!

she started to teach me a little bit... haha. she really makes blaw sound easy la. and whatever she says is linked to the tkbk. so, i asked her to be my "tutor" but she'll be overseas till nxt friday, by then my term exams are over ... but, nvm. i told her i'll find her nxt yr, for my final exam. and she said ok, anything i dnoe, can go find her. hahaha.

just when i was thinking, "wah... how to understand blaw??!", God send me someone to help me. haha (: though i abit scared la. but she's a nice lady.


hoho. so, guess who is my "tutor"?

was just thinking abt the verse, Isaiah 55:9, that i've mentioned in my previous post.

how true. He really knows what is best for us. and though we may not understand at that moment, one day we will understand why He done things this way.

i was thinking abt certain things ... and now, i finally understood.

why, when i wanted to go for the mission trip to Grace Home in april this year with my kor, li'er, zhili and huimin, God said "no". and why, when i was wondering if i cld go overseas to Mexico for my attachment from aug till oct, and God said "no" again.

no doubt, for the mission trip, i was quite disappointed and i asked Him why, and for the attachment, to say the truth, i was a lil disappointed, i mean, it is still a chance missed.

but now, i finally understood why (:

He is indeed amazing. there is rly no word on earth that is good enough to describe Him. thinking abt all these teaches me not to doubt Him. for everything that He does, though mysterious at times, it is always for our best interests (:
