one module, too many things to learn

CA1 coming up:(

signed up for FES (fellowship of evangelical students) National Conference yesterday! the workshops look really good im looking forward to hearing vinoth ramachandran speak=) took a brave step and decided to attend a chinese workshop:D

workshop one: seeing academic disciplines through the eyes of faith, by tan tee khoon, general secretary for fes singapore

workshop two: emptying yourself:embracing our buddhist friends, by Nyeo Hon

workshop three: shining like stars in a crooked and depraved world, by vinoth ramachandran

although i have to skip lessons for 1.5 days, im sure it's going to be a great experience! like one of the 10 reasons says: FESNC is here onli once every 2-3 years, but ur lessons are always there:P

oh yup we met the IFES(international fes) exco at TTC on friday! was really cool i managed to talk to sheyla, who is from mexico! i used to have this fear of talking to pple who are in such "high positions" because their ministry for God is like wow...but i realised that they are ordinary pple too and it's quite interesting talking to them! bosscat says it reminded her of world assembly(:

ok i have to do my homework now goodbye.




i hope one day you will see that my feelings for you are true.

one boss, many workers

back from lpc and i must say it was a truly amazing experience. important lessons learnt...

vision: to make and build disciples of jesus christ, who will be effective salt and light of the world, on campus and in society

direction: stand up, speak out for christ

1. this closed- deterministic world removes God, and excludes the possibility of impossibilities. (actually come to think of it there is nothing that is impossible)

2. prayer is important in sustaining a ministry

3. i do not want to be a FOG

4. people need me, a christian, to see christ

5. Romans 1:16 " for i am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes"

6. relating the unchanging gospel to a changing generation

7. Jesus identified with the people without losing his identity

8. christian conversion and regeneration reamin miracles of God's grace

9. being crazy for christ means talking about him and sharing about him enthusiastically, just like when we are crazy about our fav soccer club or about shopping sales etc!

10. relevance of beatitudes and our vision

11. Proverbs 29:18 "where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law"

and it was fabulous knowing so many new people! i found such great joy when i talked to them i found many science people who are in hall and whom i do not often see and it was great getting to know them! here's a list of the new friends i talked to..

lester-chair, who is really amazingly cute and funny. mistakenly identified as linus and you should have seen his face when andrew called him that. was talking to him after lpc and he said he was quite surprised because linus wasn't even in this camp:D
huien-vchair, halls
liz-prayed with her on the last day! and i found out at last that her family's from uk
huiping-hon treasurer
tecktee- who says i am crazy, even more so with zoey (it's not me!!)
hannah- who knows korh too!
paul- who seems quite shy but was hilarious on wed
patrick- whom i got to know from wed he is really nice to talk to! phy major halls chair
grace koh- our lovely unintimidating fac coord
phoebe- my roomie(:(:
joanna, yeeli, julio, hulin, kelvin, joseph, yen, laipeng, gillian

yup so that makes TWENTY new pple i've met and i remember and can put a face to the names to the face!!



*joyful!:D

Heat Wave

wow it's realli hot here in nyc!reached 38deg ytd and hopefully it drops to 21 tonight due to predicted hail and storm. as u can see the weather here is kinda conky, so it's hard to decide what to wear haha.

anw it's been realli rewarding and fun thus far. the stuff here are so cheap i think if i brought 1million usd i could spend all too. haha JUST BUY A HOUSE HERE. we have been walking alot and it's good workout! AND OH YES the food portion here is so humongous, my taco bell wrap lasted me for lunch and dinner-half each. LOL YES it's realli especially scarily huge...

ok go to facebook for some pictures..hope the weather gets better.

have been reading hebrews, and it's realli great to spend time alone with God(:

I commit again

finished season two of grey's. where is my season three?
every episode is full of excitement, full of thought provoking situations, ethical and medical issues. really had fun watching(:

tmr i leave for new york city. the weather is getting hotter. sheesh:\

im going shopping with butters later for ***s. so fun! we're going to dinner tgt too. hmm what i would do without my ppg=)

was telling mum this morning that i shall be a spinster. and she gave a few solid reasons not to. and i agreed with her. so yay to talking to mum.

smoley came by ytd to eat my sweet mangoes and kiwis..and my chocolate cookie leaving me the coffee one>:( so said he we were "hanging out" haha my hse is like his pitstop/transit lounge/ restroom before and after tuitions. more reasons for free rides hiak(: oh yes and i found out that smoley does not noe how to cut fruits.

tuition was quite bad because j was sick and i was tired. it's not easy. need strength need strength.

and i realise just now that it's so fun and exciting to discover more about the bible. like googling on the history and all.



and the past two nights hadn't been easy. i dunnoe why but i felt so very sad and helpless i just kept crying and asking God why am i even crying when i have no right or reason to be feeling this way. no reason..no reason at all. but i was really sad so i just cried because crying helps me to release everything. and the morning after that i wake up and feel refreshed.


during bs on tues i learnt that i take steps of faith because i hold on to God's promises very strongly, whereas e needs to see things happening before continuing, like moses..realli cool-diff pple, one passion, one God.


and i realise that to continue walking these steps of faith, i need support. i need people to encourage and to tell me that they too are taking these steps, just like me, holding on to the word of God. i need to walk this faith journey with people who are in it too, who understand what im going through. and im sad because my parents can't walk these steps with me.


but thank You Lord for giving me the privilege of talking to You. really, i thank You from the bottom of my heart(: You make my life worthwhile.

nobody said giving up would be easy.

everytime i see someone who has the same backview as u, my heart sinks.

i'm really not falling in love. i'm just falling into pieces.


for starters (no pun intended), i had a bowl of soup and a twisted doughnut today. that is all. i need to lose weight so i can eat in US:D

totally looking forward to the trip! was telling dad that i dun think i will spend USD1000. well let's see.i think i won't if i dun see a nice coach wallet or a pair of nice shades. if i do..MUAHAHAHHAA the 1000 sure gone.

mum called aunt and unc today WOW shi zai hen gui leh 3.75 for 3 minutes, $13 for every extra 1 minute. gaah:\

after looking for a black sleeved shirt for a supdup looong time, i finally found one today=)

bible study at fes office today was fun! haha i think there is an inner craziness in us that has yet to be exposed full-force because we are not that close yet. but i think as the year goes by, we will become crazy. little leak today was when eugene was trying to have a pseudo cg and was giving an eg of how the cgms would haf diff social concerns- eugene would be the one who is concerned for the prisoners, sj for the maids. then eug was trying to think of another eg for me, then sj exclaimed "pr*st*t*tes" then i looked at eug and then he said "ok u can slap him" LOL omg that was really qiute funny. if u dun find this funny, it's alright. because i think onli mich will be able to realli imagine the sistuationas described above and understand why i say it is funny. right..mich?hehe(:

well so yayy kudos to having finished the prep. final touchups and we'll be ready to send it to cg guide editor!

and thanks peter for the yummy delifrance yummies hiak.

smoley it was very sweet of u to do what u did for nai!(: thanks for the ride down today im looking forward to more free rides HAHAHA:D


i really don't want to feel so much, really.

bamboo pith

so as expected, i didn't wake up to run but chose to continue sleeping hehe(:

today is much better i ate less. went to crystal jade dining in at vivo for dinner, and i must say that it is really expensive!but well the food was yummy.

can't wait to go to the states. AND YES lsm 2202 is not for us how partypooping is that. that means i have my july free and im probably going to hongkong and hopefully some other countries too=)

today i found a really nice place to sit and enjoy God's presence.

bible study at fes office tmr.

i need to love people more.

watching too much grey's anatomy made me dream last night that i was a doctor and my patient seized and went into cardiac arrest and we had to find a OR for her which was in the other building of the hospital

5 things i think should be changed to make this world a nicer place to live in:
1) guys shouldn't wear baggy jeans that go halfway down their butts
2) ladies should learn to sit and walk properly
3) university students should dress smartly for school and shouldn't be in shorts and slippers
4) the earth should be divided into two: one half for smokers and the other half for non-smokers
5) i should be able to eat good and yummy food and not worry about how fat i will be

good night=)

Be still know You are God

im so gonna grow FAT. i ate two plates of rice today.

that is not normal.

I AM GOING TO RUN TMR MORNING.



right now, only you would be able to understand what im going through. the uncertainties, the lack of confidence, the doubts, the lack of trust, the mustard seed faith; because you are going through it too. but i chose to take that step of faith, just like you, because i know that Lord will help us run this race.

so i need to talk to you.

time and distance pulls us further each day
and sometimes i struggle even to remember your face
please..
'cause it's really easy to say I GIVE UP
but so frea**** hard to mean it.


the truth hurts, that's why we lie.
