Month of Dec...

6th dec approaching tmr, birth of my first exams results. I wondering what everyone is thinking, butterflies in my stomach...arghhh....

At least I have tried my best studying very hard, whatever outcomes, I will have to face them...

Starting this friday will be quite busy and challenging...Going for briefings and meetings discussing abt camp, christmas celebration in a.Jasmine's house, chinese service...Really quite challenging as I take up roles of bible study leaders, games IC, backup singer...But. I will surely miss the Christmas carnival as not sure what time back to S'pore.

Looking forward to the anntic camp next monday. But, details of the camp still not up yet...Feeings of unknown, curiousity and excitment filling me...

We Are the Reason

We Are the Reason part II

Rehearsed by the CFs on Wed to prepare for tmr's christmas celebrations. Pity that I wont be able to make it tmr. Heard this song for the first time and I find it very meaningful. Stating the reason for this Christmas...We are the reason...The CFs sing with actions too!

As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were (are) the reason
That He gave His life
We were (are) the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love

I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
(By David Meece)

This is the time!

Finally photos out, thanks to Loon. Last wed attended Boon's wedding. My poly friend. I think he is the first one in my friends gang to get married. This is not only a wedding dinner but really a gathering with my poly friends. Didnt get to see them since our last gathering beginning of this year. Too bad some of them are unable to turn up, bcoz of reservice, exams...Miss them.

Hong has indeed become thinner, Jie still the same, Hua zai has a gf, Loon with Xin. How envious to see them, couples and couples. Haha, no lah.

Still remember Hong and Sheng, drink until the faces so red. Then, shared a cab with AL and Sheng that night. The next day, Sheng told me the taxi fare is free coz the taxi uncle knows his relative's uncle's son blah blah blah...so funny and unbelievable..I think is God bless, don't need to pay...haha.

Saw Loon and Xin photos of holiday trip to Taiwan, wah my dreams holiday next time. Wondering when can I go...

Reflecting the past few weeks of holidays, it is a time of resting and waiting. Have think through alot of things, experienced hurts but thank God for his strength and love that I am able to overcome.

This period is also a time when I spend with my ex-colleagues (meeting them tonite for steamboat), my family, my friends. Able to build a more intimate relationship with my niece and nephew before they fly to Tokyo for holiday next dec...a time to patch up old relationships and build new ones...a time to reflect through and appreciate God's wonderful creations...

Exams Fever!

My Bc assignment finally finished and handed in yesterday. Thanks to Lijia for burning the bc for me and thanks for driving me to and fro your house just to get that cd burned. Pai seh lah.
Then, it is already 3pm when we reached the school and started our revision. But, glad that we have got into some serious reading in the sch library for around 3 hours.

I saw Huimin in the library. She was my junior back then in TP e2matrix club and now she my senior in yr 1 sem 2. Also, studying business managment. Wow, I really find it difficult to believe. But, well, because I "wasted" that two years working. But, nvm, I gained quite alot of experiences from that 2 years of working. Actually, wanted to ask her about the other juniors, well, really miss them alot and enjoy that time training them and selling textbooks together...
Wonderful memories...But, she was so engaged in her studies... and me too, wanting to make full use of that 3 hours studying my ob...But, still only finish 2/3 of the chapter, have to catch up reading today again...ob textbook so thick and so many chapters...:%

Also met kunda when me and Lijia having our "tibits break" outside the library. He just finished his lifesaving cca. Lifesaving, hmm... I am not surprised that sim provides this cca, but not snowboarding...where to find snow?

Read about this this morning, to calm everyone due to exam fever:

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - from Matthew 11:28 (by the creater of Heaven and Earth).

And an interesting article (email from my cousin):

A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollars for dinner. The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?" "No," I had to stop drinking years ago, the homeless woman replied. "Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" the woman asked "No I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive." "Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!" "Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight." The homeless woman was astounded. "Won't your hubby be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting." The woman replied, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine."

LIFE AWAY FROM GOD

Two brothers go to a lake to play with a little boat thatthey had made. The younger boy excitedly places it in the water and watches it sail. The boat slowly begins to driftaway, until it is out of his reach. With great fear, hecries out for his elder brother, to save the boat. The elderboy immediately picks up some stones and begins to throw itat the boat. The younger boy starts to yell at him saying,what are you doing, I said save my boat, not destroyit!!!!?. The elder boy responds, Relax. I know what I amdoing. He begins to throw the stones, past the boat, causingripples to form, and that draws the boat closer to theshore. Finally the boat is back in its owner's arms.A lot of us are sometimes like that little boat. Sin causesus to drift away from God. Then we find so many things goingwrong in our lives and wonder why. Sometimes God throwsstones at us, not to harm us but to cause ripples in ourlives that will draw us back to Him and not further away.The more we live our lives according to what WE think isright, the more we will be discouraged, because there is NO LIFE AWAY FROM GOD. God is our source of power, strength,peace and joy.Whatever your problem may be, don't look at it as apunishment but a challenge to better your self. God has the power to turn things around in your life and He will do it.Problems are always there, but for a reason, that is to makeus better and not bitter. How we choose to respond to our problem will determine the results that we get in the end.This is our God!!!
