God is good

i was typing the message that were preached by pastor last weekend. one of my members has went overseas to visit her grandma. so i have decided to drop her an email with the message i typed. it was the first time i did that. i felt so contented! she has gone for almost a week. and i am missing her a lot. although it was a random act in the middle of the night, but it was something that i felt i should do. thinking that the message is going to bless her life makes me happy! ha ha! mm, i’m gonna do it again. oh, and it’s pastor casey treat this week! it is going to be great!

many of my members are leaving for school trips and holidays this week. and they are going for many days. i think i am going to miss them a lot. still, thank God for the rest of them in singapore! it’s time for another big blast this week. no more lazying around, it’s time for pushing.

mum came back from guangzhou yesterday. i’m going to spend ample and quality time with her this week. and she says she is coming back for chinese new year 2010 next year. finally after 2 years.. this is wonderful!

you are beautiful, are you?

yes, that’s right! i am all over drama shows again. currently, it has been a craze among the sisters in the cell group. and right now, i am hooked up in one of the korean drama. the show is ‘you’re beautiful’.

never like how guys draw eyeliner around their eyes. but tae kyung is different, he is my favorite now!

latest conviction in my life, have humility, be courageous and remain loyal forever! with You, all things are possible.

&& few more days to my special day. yeah!

room sweet room

i am so in love with my latest design of my room. finally sister has moved to the other room. and i have got all a room by myself! dreaming it since my sister came to this earth. but of course, i will still miss those small talks with her before sleep. randomly, she brought qq into her room to sleep with her. sorry, q. just bear with it. tomorrow it will be my turn. ha. anyway, i just need a new complete color for my room, and it will be so close to my dream room. probably a dark purplish pink. sweet!

once again, opm is back! it is a time for an effective and fervent pm for everyone again. lets rain revival upon this land!

many are called, few are chosen. but one is found faithful.

just finished packing my room. i am impressed with how it looks like right now. i took about two hours to finish tidy up everything – books, makeup table. this is my faster record. usually i will take about five hours to finish. so proud of myself.

was reading pst kong, ‘renewing’. and came across this verse above. (taken from matthew 20:16, revelation 17:14) everything starts from hearing the call of God, then going through a preparation period, entering into ministry to serve and lastly, bear fruits to be found faithful. be a fig tree that bear fruits! have faith in God and do not doubt. and whatever things, believing, will come to past.

november is here! many many events are going to happen. cant wait for it! e507, this is our final lap for this year. let’s do it!

heart to heart

life has been different when september has ended. and okay, i know october is coming to an end. during the month of october, many things are not the same anymore. cell group has multiplied, lifestyle has changed. in the past, i used to have plenty of assignment and books to finish. but right now, life seems free. i miss sot and school badly.

life is never too easy. but thank God i always hold on to Him when it seems too hard. the path that i have chosen. though difficult yet fulfilling. it was because it was He who created me, therefore, only He could fill the emptiness in me. i can never imagine what i would become if i never knew Him. probably, right now, i would be someone that always stay at home and waste my time away. yes, 宅女. what taiwanese people would refer those kind as.

however, home is still the most comfortable place on earth. a place where i can feel secure and relax. at home, when i have got some free time, i will be watching tv dramas. recently, i just finished ‘east of eden’ and an old japanese series, ‘to heart’. both series are enjoyable. in east of eden, i realized how hatred and vengeance can lead someone life from generation to generation. this show really taught me what is forgiveness all about. this is why Jesus died on the cross for us to teach us to love our enemies. one hatred is contagious. and for to heart, it makes me remember how i used to love to watch it when i was in primary four. yes, it was that long ago. it talks about how a simple, aimless girl went head over heels over a guy who wants to be a professional boxer. love is strength. when the guy is losing in its competition, the girl would always encourages him by saying this. true enough, isn’t it the same in God. because of His love, we are strengthen to do His will. i am like the guy in the show. when i am going through storms and wanting to give up, the love of God would strengthen me and encourage me to keep on keeping on. God’s love is indeed strength.

many people think drama is boring. but sometimes they teach something about life we sometimes never know. of course, balance is still the key of life. i will limit my time of watching.

i love this pic with my mum!

two weeks of guangzhou was a time of unwinding myself before the next start of my life. compared to singapore, lifestyle in china are much slower and relaxed. chinese there are always walking and chilling around. life’s pretty sluggish there. i was there with my sister, living in my mum’s own private apartment. it was much spacious as the previous one in hongkong. big balcony with great scenery and very windy. no wonder my mum says her dogs love to sleep there.

at the last day before i flew back to singapore, it was quite unbearable that i had to leave my mum so fast. time past superbly fast during good times. i can clearly remember the day when we went to panyu amusement park to play. it was a time of merrymaking. the spine-tingling rides and the fascinating circus show in the night. it was sure the best day of my trip. not to mention, there are also good, mouth-watering food and appealing shopping outlets. haha, who says china is outdated? it was an eye-opener when i was in guangzhou.

this time round

today is the day that i am flying off to see my mum again. but how come i am having a mixed feelings right now. it is great to see my mom after such a long while since march. yet at the same time, there are lots of things in Singapore i could not put down for this TWO WEEKS that i will be away. two weeks is not long, but is the longest time that i have left home. ah, i am gonna really miss singapore!

and last sunday was a totally disaster day for me. second time of my life fell down from my bicycle. as you can read from that, yes, from the fell, i have a numbers of cuts and bruises over my body. i shall not go into details on how i fell. but right now, the cuts do hurts a lot still after applying cream onto it. cycling is always not the sports that i really like. with all the exposed gear and chains, it looks frightening to me. i guess there will be no more cycling for me for a period of time. for now, with the injuries, i just pray that later on when i check in, the airport staff will still recognize me from my passport photo. just kidding, i am not disfigured. but it is too scary.

ps look for me in fb when i am away. tata!

yay yay! thailand’s photos are up in this post. most of the pictures are from chiang mai. i guess all of us were too busy shopping in bangkok. but i must agree that chiang mai is a place of beauty – the food, the place and BANILAH! i must find some time to go back again. have you seen people going back because of the accommodation. haha! yep, i guess i am the first.

side note. was watching ANTM doing hair makeover for the contestants. and i am feeling that i am done in my current hair. i want a hair revamp too! maybe i could dye my hair to blonde? LOL

love can last

pastor preached a fantastic word last weekend. the whole time during service i was so convicted. tears started to welled up in my eyes at the last part of the word. i believed pastor is trying to build up every member commitment towards God and also, towards the church, especially building fund is drawing near. the message renewed my mind. and it is like an alarm clock that woke me up in this life with God. pastor said yesterday,

“genuine love is built on covenant that never says goodbye.”

this shook me. love is not easily broken. if it breaks easily, then it is not called true love. many can say, ‘i love you’ to anyone. but do they really meant it from their hearts. commitment and loyalty will be tested, will they still stay faithful? God says in His word,

“when we are faithless, He remains faithful.”

can we be like God that is always faithful? the answer is hard because we are imperfect in our own human nature and being. but the thing we can do is to be like ruth, stay loyal and walk the path of faith in Him. it is always tough to walk on roads that are unknown and unpredictable to us. but do not let the circumstances to pull us down. it is the One that is walking beside us that matters.

to remain faithful most of the time is to know who is the one beside. remember the one that always bring us through difficult times and whom with love most. this is where genuine love is not only from God, but also from us. how amazing is that. and yes! i am going to make a covenant to never say goodbye to those i said, ‘i love you’ to.

i am committed to God, my family and church!
