Today was an awesome day!
Word was really powerful...I cried (and that's something very rare). God spoke to me, encouraged me, administered to me... (:
It's okay if the world thinks the opposite of me, but I know my God loves me as much!
Spirit Makes Man.
It's not about intellect, not about talents, abilities...I've met so many of such people, thinking that intellect makes them higher, better than others. Boy, are they wrong!
The title doesn't make you. It's the person who makes the title.
I've so many things I want to vent out at, BUT! I shall vent it to God. Hah. My vent-trations are safe with Him, and He knows how to deal with them (:
Anyhow! Meditate on good thoughts!
Today was awesome luh. If you missed it, then you missed a very very powerful sermon!
Kessler came and it was quite coooool! Haha we had Yong Tau Foo and Macs together (: (:
And then we sang this song together with Dexter and Jerome! Hahaha it's a very nice song, but I don't know the title...will put it up when Jerome/Dexter sends it to me! (:
Then we had CG!! Was good, but will be better in the future!!! Haha Dexter rocks with his Taylor guitarrrr!!!
Jerome is awesome luh. He shared about his talk with God and stuff (:
Then I had fellowship with my fellow CGLs and NG teamers.
My spiritual family rocks! Talking to them makes me feel better about where I am. Haah, I'm normal! We're all going through the same grind (:
Seah Darryl made me laugh with his "It's a privilege to have you in my life." and it's the hot sentence of the CGLs now!
Fedora and Adriena and Eli made my night too! Haha we had a laugh over changing of voices and NG and growth and growth and growth.
Church, a bubble world?
Yeah, definitely. But not because we don't know how the world is like. It's precisely because we know how the world is like, but we want a place where people can come in and know that this is Home. This is where love resides, where family stand up for each other no matter what.
And we'll work to our deaths, give our best to preserve it this way.
This is my church, my Home.
I won't apologize for my radicality.
I won't apologize for my faith.
I won't apologize for my convictions.
I won't look for approval in the eyes of men because I'm approved by God Himself already. (:

Hello again! Haha I'm definitely blogging more nowadays! Probably because I've been blog-hopping and I've been inspired by many other blogs to blog. (:
I miss Ivan. I'm sure everyone in church is experiencing I.P Withdrawal Symptoms. I can't wait for my bro to be out in 2 weeks, then on to 8-5PM.
Haha!
In 4D!
8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5; 8-5...
Gonna speak it and call it till it come to pass (:
Was doing some stuff regarding MJC...and boy, what a joy! Haah. KS, Liane, Maril and myself...coming together to recall those times in MJC. Like what KS said, if we could, we would like to bring everyone back to the times when we were in MJC.
Just for one week. To experience that atmosphere of revival and faith.
We laughed, we reminisced, we joked, we lamed...and we looked back at how far we have come to get here.
It's only 4 years, and we're gonna do life together for our remaining 60 or more years.
This is church for you. It's not play, it's not a heat of a moment thing. It's life.
Radicalism cannot be expressed into words. It's lived out. 24/7. It radiates out of you because it's your core.
We're gonna bring that atmosphere back. Henderson days...FTMS days...amplified 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times. Right here, right now.
Woo! I can't wait. (: (:
Ask me for my faith, and I show you my day-to-day struggles as any normal human goes through.
Ask me for my bed of roses in my walk with God, and I show you the scars and healing wounds from all my 21 years on this earth.
Ask me for my joy, and I show you my smile in the lowest of all valleys.
Ask me for my God, and I show you - me. With all my flaws, weaknesses, ups, downs, past, present, future.
In my flaws and weaknesses, He is made strong, He is made perfect.
In my ups and downs, He carries me through.
In my past, present, future, He walks alongside me.
I am a Christian, a little version of my Father above.
(:
I love this song 'All'. It grabbed my heart when it was first sung. Something about it, about the song, about the lyrics...
You're the One who gives me shelter
You're the Light that leads me Home
You're the Love that gave forever
Lord You're All that I know
And all that I am
Unto You I surrender
Lord there is none like You
And I know that I stand
In the arms of forever
Lord there is none like You
With the world upon Your shoulders
Lord You gave Your life away
If the world I know was over
I know I'd have life in the price You paid
And I will stand
And I will worship You forever
For all You are
And I will stand
And all to You I will surrender
I'll worship You forever

A quick note before I leave the Chinese library!
I forgot to blog a post for my beloved brother yesterday! =P Haah. I'm a bad sister...but at least I'm doing something about it now!
Anyhow, he turned 19 yesterday! *WOOHOO* That's another year closer to NS and another step closer to being a real man XD
He probably won't read this post so I'll save his birthday message until I see him back home. Haah.
Oh yeah. For all of you who haven't seen my brother before, here's an awesome good-looking photo of his:
That's how he would look like if I could choose. Haaah. My brother could not provide me a nice awesome photo of himself so I had to resort to this. (:
Anyhow, it seems really sinful to put a photo of an Arsenal player on my Liverpool page. That's why Fabregas is clothed in the Spain jersey in this photo. Lessen the guilt of sin. Hoho =P
Have a great week ahead! Can't wait for the weekends to come! (: (:

A little longer......A little farther...
...A little more...
Yeah c'mon! I can do it!!
This week was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
First things first, Liverpool beat Man U 2-1 on Saturday!
You should have seen KS and Dale running around church announcing the results. It was amusing and awesome all at the same time.
"We won! 2-1! Full-time! We WON!"
Justice is served.
Thank you Mr Brown (:
Haha then Rinnah hugged me! It was her 4th birthday and she allowed me to hug her! Haha that's a breakthrough in itself! Luckily I decided against my original plans =P
Rinnah is such a cutie pie (:
The sermons this week were phenomenal too! If you missed either one of them, shame on you!! And that's really a big loss!
The way up is the way down.
One person, one time, one lifetime. (: (: (:
Wooo!
And we had so much fun too, the D7 gang. Pizza on Saturday with the D3-ians. Hahaahaha.
I think D7 has the coolest guys in it (:
Brian Cheang calls us the "funny CG", in a good way (:
Then on Sunday, both Jer-ro-me and I learned a few things about Noel, Dexter and cai peng.
1) Dexter is carnivorous.
2) Noel eats tofu but not kangkong and beansprouts.
3) You always put some gravy in cai peng.
4) Everyone in D7 except for Jer-ro-me doesn't eat much veggies.
Hah! We learn new things every day! (: (: (:
Oh! And it was Dah-leh's 20th birthday!!
Happy birthday Dah-leh!! (: Thank you for adding your presence into D7's fun and laughter! We love you loads and lets build this House together yeah?? You're an awesome brother to have (: (:
I can't wait for next weekend. Woo!!!
It's great to see your younger brothers in church and to worship God with them. Haah. Love everyone of them to bitssss.
Oh yes...Ivan's going in to army in a few more hours :( We're gonna miss him like mad. You should have seen what Dominic and Jian Ming did to him after service. It was plain cruel. Hah. But we all stood aside and watched the cruelty take place. =P Lets really keep Ivan in our prayers okay? 8-5!!!
Oh! And something reallll powerful is gonna come up soon! Be sure not to miss it or you'll regret it for lifee!!!!
That's all for now! Till then...
"I'm a virgin and I'm proud to be one!!!!"
*winks*

I cooked dinner today!! (With the help of my mum-ma of course (:)
It was very very simple but awesomely cool. I love cooking but I haven't cooked for a long time. Haaah. The irony. But really! I love to cook!
We made dinner for the family and it looked and tasted really good (: (: I think my future husband is a very lucky man. Haha! But if he's an ang-moh, he's gotta learn how to eat Chinese food man! 'Cos I haven't mastered the art of cooking kentang food!
Or, quoting my mum-ma - "Get him to change his taste for ang-moh food to Chinese food". Hoho!
If my ang-moh wanna eat kentang food, then he's gotta cook it himself!
Anyway!
D7 had CG today and it was fun and powerful!
Dexter shared about an experience that he had and it was a little :S :S and it got the whole CG going "URGGGHHH". Hah. I'm not gonna post up the whole story so you gotta ask him yourself!
But the Word was powerful! Haha, not because of anything else but because it was a Word from God! And prayer was good good good!
It's EASY/CAN/NO PROBLEM!
And Maniam was finally with us after weeks of escorting and motor-biking!
And we all Ramly-ed together! Haha. Noel had $8 worth of food, but, he's a growing man, so it's normal :D
D7 is really cool, yo! We've a date to watch the Barclays Premier League semi-finals and finals together at CHIJMES. I can't wait! Then Maniam and Andy can bike us all home one by one after that. Hoho!
I bet it's gonna be LIVERPOOL vs CHELSEA/MANCHESTER UNITED.
I know Manchester City is filthy rich now, but...aiya. Not their season. Never their season. XD
I'm gonna end this post with something that really impacted me today! Ivan was just sharing about FAITH and Hebrews 11 during the pre-service prayer meeting, and one verse kept coming back to me.
Hebrews 11:24-26
By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Moses has always been a character close to my heart, and as Ivan read through this verse today, it just impacted my heart.
As Moses became of age, he decided, and refused to enjoy the comfort zone he grew up in. Having had the revelation of sin, he chose to be with the people of God, his true heritage, rather than enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin. And above all, he looked towards the reward.
Oh man...God is really my best friend, He knows the exact verse to revive and refresh. (:
He never promised it was going to be easy, but He did promise that He will be with us through the mountains and valleys.
Don't look at who you can or cannot be, but remember the Person you were created in the image of. That's your potential.
