More pictures

Went out with jy, char and yz AGAIN! Love you guys. You all always make my day =)


















Met Ms Leow, my RS mentor last year! It was so coincidental that my RS groupmates were with me as well. Took a photo with her as well.

Pictures can tell a thousand words.

Here are the pics taken at VIBE as promised...

3-in-1 instant coffee mix

Was having this msn convo with matt online and he had a sudden brainwave:

and floating jelly: ha! i just realised.. 3 like mukky you and i
1 like a team
lol, james can be the water
we're the mix

Poor me did not really get what he was saying until he finally explained the 'terms'...

and floating jelly: what else is 3 in 1
coffee

LOL, i was pretty amused after that. Heh james, matt created a name for the worship team. It shall henceforth be called the 3 in 1 instant coffee mix. So now, matt is the creamer, mukky is the coffee powder, pat is the sugar and james - hot water =P. Interesting how msn convos can stir up our creative brain juices!

This is it!

You know when you are not really a girl when you eat

- banana
- doughnut
- chicken nuggets
for recess

- slice of fruit cake
for a snack before lunch

- egg sandwich
- mash potato
for lunch

- egg tart
for a snack before dinner

- a huge bowl of rice with dishes
for dinner

So, maybe im not a girl! haha food craze up and coming =)

Thank God

For my promo results. He really guided me through the entire exam period. Certain subjects may not be up to my expectations, but Im just amazed at how He pulls me through every difficult situation.

2 hours of sleep yesterday. Exhausted. Nights world =)

PW

PW has indeed been an arduous journey spent with 4 of my classmates. To tell the truth, i dont like that idea of PW at all. I do not really think that it has served its purpose. But, nevertheless, we have reached the final part, the oral presentation. I should say it has been a joy working with you all.

Today was spent fruitfully at VIBE organised by my church doing PW. We managed to compile the ppt and script. Actually, i was pretty amazed at the way things turned out today. I thought a lot of stuff would still be left uncompleted, and many pots left unturned. But im glad we finished most of it up. Not 100%, but nearly there!

VIBE was great! The food was nice. Even my friends agreed that the place looked cool. ok, pics later yea?

Fantastic Four

JY is back! Cant wait to meet up again with Char, JY and YZ. Anyway managed to catch up with 2 of them for lunch at yoshi. Coincidentally, we met JY's mum at taka, then she mentioned that we were the inseparable 3. But when JY meets us soon, we will be the fantastic four!

Shall just let the pictures speak for me. =)

COOKIES and CHOCOLATE

Yesterday, i finally put my baking skills to the test a 2nd time. The first time was the peach cheesecake for Mother's Day. Now, i have succeeded in baking ultra-soft chocolate chip cookies. Haha, they were probably meant to be harder, but i did not put them in the oven long enough. Oh, but in fact, i feel now that soft and chewy cookies are nicer. Brought them to school today, 15 in all. Some were meant for my recess, but i only ate 1, cos everyone else loved them =) YAY. Haha, i think i have been eating a lot of junk. Now, i have this huge 800 g pure decadence in my fridge. Chocolate cake, of course! Oh gosh, i think i live to eat man =P

It is at these times that we need the company of good friends. Good to know that you have friends out there who are going through the same things as you. Friends are there to care and share =) LOVE

Anyway i did my best, and i know He did the rest! Awesome, indescribable, uncontainable.

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME. IF GOD IS FOR ME, WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME!

To everyone out there, ALL THE BEST! =)

I'll love him, and I know He loves me

A saviour, a comforter
He's always there for me
He brought me out of the darkness
and caused the blind to see
Heavenly father,
take control of me
For whatever the circumstance may be,
I'll love him, and I know He loves me

Chorus:
So we'll lift up our voice
and sing unto our King
We are weak, He is strong
in His arms, we belong
So we'll lift up our hears
and rejoice unto our King
He is worthy, he is mighty
He can do anything for me

A sacrificial lamb
He died for me
He laid His life on the crosss
to rid us of our sins
When trials clouts our lives
and nothing seems right
But whatever the circumstance may be
I'll love Him, and I know He loves me

CAC (1st day)

3J, we totally rock! class adventure camp would have been a bore without everyone of you. anyway we must remember the 3 goals that we set for the camp, and try to achieve it:

1) abolish gender divide

2) interpersonal responsibilities

3) class bonding

anyway here's the brief outline of what we did during CAC:

In the morning

had some sort of briefing about the camp in school, set goals for our class to achieve. we were then divided into 3 groups. i was in the feed-me group, which had to plan our dinner and breakfast during camp. we had to learn to use the gas stove and budget for our meals with $66 bucks.

we then set out to changi village, where we ate our lunch before boarding a boat to ubin.

In the afternoon

trek, trek and more trekking. when we first arrived, everyone spammed mosquito repellent and sunblock (for the girls only). we were then divided into 2 large groups, so that each faciliator could take 1 group. each group had to have at least a few people who were previously in the lead-me group, so that they could guide us to the checkpoints. first time i see jeremy so enthus about getting to the checkpoint that he ran aboput 100m to it. (must say he is good at map reading). ok, so the last place we ended up was chek jawa, which had fantastic scenery. the sea breeze was really cooling on our faces although the sun was beating down on us. many pictures were taken there. also, fortunately for us, some girls brought food, so we ended up snacking there as well.

From there, the feed-me group split up to trek back to a provision shop to purchase food for our dinner and breakfast the next day. thanks to our good budgetting skills, we used up exactly $66 bucks. here is a list of what we bought:

- maggi mee

- bread

- jam

- sardines

- canned fruit

- baked beans

- duck with preserved veg

- milo

and 12 1.5 litre bottles of clean water.

Yay, we had a van to fetch us to the campsite, otherwise all of us would have died carrying all that to the campsite.

In the evening

Managed to wash my hair and cleaned up before sunset and the water ran out. Helped in the cooking of maggi mee and fed the rest of my class before the feed-me group ate. chris-tin also helped to heat up the duck so that it was more palatable. =) then a group of us girls set down at a bench to talk, and chris-tin ended up helping to french-braid our hair.

Night walk

was super scary. the girls were allowed to walk in pairs. but chris-tin and i kinda freaked out, so we switched on the torch halfway thru the walk. and some of our class guys decided to stand around the trees to scare the girls. but i felt it was a good experience walking in smaller groups cos, for OBS, our entire group walked together. Getting back to the campsite, we laid a tarp on the ground, and everyone gathered to tell ghost stories, but i phased out, and ended up falling asleep. so, a few girls proceeded to the tent to sleep. Probably slept for 5 hours but kept waking up, cos the ground was rocky and hard.

Somemore pics!

Been very busy that I have distant away from You, Lord. Please draw me back into your loving hands, and keep me there as close as possible. I know I cant lead a life without You. But every night, I know deep in my heart that I have turned my eyes away from You for most of the day, just concentrating on my own personal life. The only quiet moment is when I am lying on my bed, reflecting on the day, that I realise that I havent relied on You, but on my own strength to get through that day. Maybe that's why i get tired easily. Help me to pray just to be in Your presence. I need to get back into focus, with You in the centre of my life. Life isnt just the way it is.

Class outing!

In the end, i decided to go for class outing after all, even though i went out for 3 consecutive days. And I made a good choice =). It was ultra-fun. Bowling, pool and just chatting and laughing! This time, 12 ppl turned up, but the girls were outnumbered by the no of guys. Guess most of our class girls are a hardworking bunch lol (not me man). I havent bowled for ages, probably 2 years already. Haha, but slow and steady wins the race man. The balls that i rolled ended up straight down the middle, but took its time to reach the pins. Managed to have a max pinfall of 7 for each round, but kept switching shoes with Iris so that we could take turns, cos max 10 ppl for 2 lanes la. Oh yea, then spent 2 hours learning how to pool. Have never pooled in my life, first time trying. Only managed to get the hang of it like last 30 mins. But i guess it was a super fun class outing =). See our happy faces below:

Love as He loved, Give as He gave

My Father loved us before we first loved Him.
He forgave us by dying on the cross for our sins.
Christ taught us the power of LOVE and of FORGIVENESS.

It's not easy to forgive and forget; to live and let live.
But i shall leave it all behind me.
I forgive easily, but i do not necessarily forget.

Stop testing my patience, and stretching me to the limits.
For even the strongest of ties can break.
And wounds can heal, but scars remain.

Oh help me God to forgive and to love the people you created like You did.
