Prologue

Once, there's 2 very young girls came to church,
i guess their age was 12.
it's their first few months in church. talking to each other,
tagging their sisters.
Those young and innocent faces of theirs.
Then, a pastor walked up to them,
"How old are the both of you?" "Primary 6," they replied.
The pastor was impressed, "wow, so young."
& he prophecise that to the 2 young girls that
they will grow up and be a young leader for God...

hohoho, it looks like some storytelling..
sometimes, it's okay to rake up good memories :)

1 more day..?
With Christ in the vessel, we can smile at the storm.
smile more? :D

My prayer

2009-10-19T00:12:00.000+08:00

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. Amen.

duh, i know it's from facebook,
but this is a prayer that i sincerely wanna make.

GROW!

2009-10-12T23:32:00.001+08:00

This is nonsense.
i should be studying right now, right at this moment.
and here i am typing.

i'm amazed at how God works His plan.
always unexpected, interesting and enriching.
nevertheless, always getting out of comfort zones.

i have faith and i believe that God somehow will make a way.
in everything and anything.

i want a more adventurous life.
and i prayed for more storms in my life.
you must be thinking; Vivien, you are so so so crazy?
Yes, I am. Because I'm crazy about growing in God.
if there's no storm in my life, how am i gonna grow??
I'm discontented about my life and i want God to change it!
more storms, more God, more miracles!
YEAH!!

even before i plan to do more things for God,
God must refine my faith and my life thousands over times first.

Yeah, i'm excited!
Cause I'm going to GROW (:

Ps. I'm graduating this thursday.

It's ...

2009-10-09T00:05:00.001+08:00

7 days til i'm officially graduate from yishun sec

meaningful lyrics

i'm hooked on Brooke Fraser's song.

i realise..

2009-09-23T23:26:00.000+08:00

i'm responsible over my own life.
emotional, physical, social, spiritual, whatever.
i may sound stupid, but i know it's important.

seeking God is easier said than done.
but after you had done it,
there's refreshment, which can't be explained.
unless you experience yourself.

i have to increase my hunger for God.
therefore, i choose to do something which is..
beyond myself and my abilities.

my prelim is over but it's momentary.
i still have Os and getting back results tomorrow.
but, it will be over!

you have to link the title with each paragraph.
if you just read like this, you will not see the link ;)
and the end!

(yes, i had chopped it off and it became a concave)

a 13 year old girl's conviction

2009-09-22T22:28:00.004+08:00

Yesterday during prayer meet, God told me something but I don't dare to share.

This word call "GENERATION".

Why do God tell me this thing?
Then God asked me, "Do you think that you are still very young?"

2 months later, after i woke up, I'm Secondary 2.
Time is running fast, you may not know that when you open your eyes
tomorrow, you are maybe 16 years old (seems too old, but it's true) .
Time is running out. When you are ask to do evaxing, dont like: tomorrow la, next week...
Your next week will continue on... and on...
The Time is NOW! We are no longer young anymore. Next year, maybe some of us are 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 years old.
Life goes on, you are not forever young.
Don't wait and wait like as if you have time and chiong when you are older and later regret.
Do what you can now, so that the generation will NOT END! if you done your best, God will do the rest. We are no longer young, do what you can, because God have the best for you.
And fulfil God's commission which is also our life purpose.

and that 13 year old girl was me.
i wrote this when i was 13 years old,
and 3 years later, this same girl was shocked by what she wrote.
(:

Sit down

2009-09-22T18:27:00.004+08:00

i just went to my favourite place today.

i just started to think about many things.
the more i think about, i more i feel like shoving the things off.
it's just too overwhelming.

then i just sat down and relax,
listening to worship songs, surrendering whatever that's in my heart.
i feel more relax and free.

sometimes, we just need to sit down and relax.
even super heroes need to rest,
what more about me, a human being?
God knows i need to rest and He's waiting for me to come to Him.
No matter how bad things goes, God can create a rainbow out of it.

Let it go.

after exam, i shall flee to malaysia for one day.. HAHA!
i shall eat, play and shop around m'sia :X
and i shall save up more,
and fly to other countries for missions.
should i go for concave?
Exciting ne..
Ganbatte!

Children

2009-09-18T12:31:00.003+08:00

i find kids very amazing.

because when they are born, they look so peaceful.
they can smile at all circumstances,
they speak their minds out.
They are curious,

they are creative, imaginary, natural.

They do not live to impress others. [maybe to impress their close ones]
In their mind, the world is a beautiful place.

and when we grow up,

the opposites happen.

it's not about being childish, but child-like.

I want to go out to the world and see even more smiles.

before 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 years old

Encouraged

2009-09-14T23:23:00.003+08:00

Well, today, i went to outreach with Aloysius, Sichen and Teck Shuean.
it gives me that kind of feeling like: I'm outreaching again..
it's like something i did not do for months and kind of like need-to-get-used that kind of feeling.
whatever it is, really wanna thank God for them!
Yeah! You guys rock!
and i heard many blessings,
and i'm gonna work hard to bring people back.

This word kept popping in my mind: Birthright .
Man, i won't sell my birthright away, it's mine!

i won't be paralysed by O level,
i just, ugh, gotta do more.
i gotta give my best in both areas!
God.. HELP ME!!

Ah, i love this article, it really looks interesting [not that i'm a sadist]
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090914/twl-us-missing-yale-student-ef375f8.html
somehow i can conclude that this murderer must have watch Kindaichi before.
because there's one story where a body is actually hide in between the walls.
oh well, shall continue to wait..

2 more days to 16..
but seriously, i hate this wednesday because 2 tiring papers come together ):

Metamorphosis

2009-09-10T08:23:00.003+08:00

Every metamorphosis-s is cool and always will be.

This time is different.

God showed me 2 extremes of the world.
& the uneasy feeling just came back again.
God didn't really reveal to me what's that all about.
But things surrounding me and making it so clear.
Ahhh... I will just wait and continue to ask God.

Today's guitar course is great!
learn many many stuffs!

It's a blessing to serve..

Clumsy Vivien

2009-09-08T22:41:00.002+08:00

after reading a sentence later on, you will conclude that Vivien Lim is super clumsy.

I spilled a beaker of water unto the floor during practical today.

and my ambition is never to be a Cinderella ):
is i happened to spill it and i have to wipe it away.

whatever it is..

tomorrow is METAMORPHOSIS!
it's time to refresh and recap of every fundamentals.
and expect God to speak to us in different ways.
i have been attending it from Sec 1,
and everytime, it's different (:
it's a matter of perspective.

youths ain't suppose to be like this ):

Uneasy

2009-09-07T01:32:00.006+08:00

ahh, crap.
it's like 1.32am now and i can't sleep!
i wanted to sleep after playing some video games, but i just can't.
just toss and turn on my bed and starts staring.
still can't sleep.

feel very uneasy, i don't know why.
just prayed and feel a little better.
Prayer works the best!
if it's unpleasant, God takes the wheel.
if it's pleasant, God still takes the wheel.

God always go beyond what we think and expect of Him.

Amazing, uh?

what if God can?

:D

2009-08-25T20:46:00.003+08:00

I just read this story and i find it nice : http://www.inspire21.com/site/stories/God_mysterious.html

Crystal's blog is also worth reading, so is Vanessa.
ok, basically, everyone (:
it's nice to see how God transformed our lives upside down.
especially if we keep archives of our younger lives.
:D

September is coming!
but its a mixture of excitement and anxious.
there's prelim and yeah hahahaha! my big day!

oh yes, i can conclude that i'm super clumsy.
yesterday during practical test,
i accidentally splashed water unto myself.
while washing the test tube, i accidentally drop my test tube in the sink.
i broke the silence in the lab.
ok, that's about yesterday.

each paragraph does not link with each other

i'm clinging to the cross .

One Way!

2009-08-23T21:08:00.000+08:00

i'm happy! because we are growing! (:
God blessed me in many ways too!

let's continue direct people to the One above.

We have to go beyond many things.
Go beyond religion,
go beyond the world,
go beyond our friends,
go beyond the Earth.

Just utter a prayer: Break my heart for what break Yours

2009-08-18T23:37:00.001+08:00

Spend hours doing the picture, which is below.
Obviously, i did try to ka jiao some people HAHA!
after a long time of not editing, man, i love the end product!

That's not the end product.
this is just: behind the scene?
the real one is the picture which fascinated me.

tomorrow is the day,
That the Lord has made,
I will rejoice,
and be glad in it (:

LALALA

2009-08-17T23:25:00.001+08:00

I just touched some old softwares which i used to use.
it's like after 123456789 years.
and of course, i had forgotten how to use it,
but managed to recap back.

i just want to blog about Vanessa Lim [alright, girl. be shy now, haha!]
as usual, i was msn-ing her.
so she told me about her sharing her stories with God to her friend.
That's so cool and good!
You rock girl, continue to spread your stories around!

alright, the real test had started. prelims, Os are coming.
i need to rely on God!
i have to and i need to.
yes, a few months more, i'm gonna utilise it properly.
and furthermore, it's my last year in school.
i promised to God that i will do it, thus, i have to accomplish it.

Outreach is in my blood.

Broke

2009-08-16T20:30:00.000+08:00

For once,
Me, Vivien Lim, my heart was broke.

I don't want to be a Christian anymore,
I want to be a REAL Christian, a Christian who will follow God and does His will.
I see no point of playing anymore,
I must pray more!

I am very burdened now,
God broke my heart for what break His.

Popped back into my mind

2009-08-13T22:10:00.000+08:00

3 years ago, my ex-shepherd was leading YSS girls.
i was Sec 1 then, so still young and unsure of many stuffs.
and my ex-shepherd was Sec 4 then.
i remembered she walked me to 811 interchange [the white colour board],
as we were walking, we chat about many stuffs, but i only remembered one particular thing.

she said: at first, YSS had 5 girls, now, it still remains as 5,
don't let it die ok? Grow into a CG size.
i think i gave a blank face and nodded.

3 years later, it still remains as 5 girls, now i'm Sec 4, time flies uh.
now i had 2 more months more before i'm officially out of Yishun Sec.
i'm gonna chiong, be it studies or even growing the girls.
i'm not going to tell what my ex-shepherd used to tell me that time,
instead i want to tell them, "Alright, grow it even more, be it unit or sub-d"

it's important to leave legacy behind.

You hold me now

2009-08-10T20:56:00.005+08:00

Let the songs of Heaven rise to you alone
This song really pierced through my heart (:

We The Redeemed

2009-08-02T19:53:00.001+08:00

Verse 1:
There is nothing like your love
No exchange for all you gave
To be welcomed into life
So I could know a love that saves

Verse 2:
Now forever to belong
To walk with you for all my days
There's no greater love than this
You are the Author and the way

Pre-Chorus:
This is the sound of the redeemed
Rising Up to praise the King
Our hope is in you
This is the sound of the redeemed
Rising up to praise the king

Chorus:
Singing, Glorious, Glorious One
You have saved us
Honour and power and praise to the Saviour
You are the answer
You are the answer

Verse 3:
You come with power come with fire
As we lift your name on high
And join with all the saints to sing
Bringing honour to the king

Bridge:
We the redeemed
Hear us singing
You are holy
You are holy

Thoughts again..

2009-07-29T20:43:00.004+08:00

i was shepherding Brenda on monday,
i taught her The Importance Of Prayer In Evangelism.
after looking through and looking back, kind of awakened by the teaching,.

Praying to God is so easy,
yet people tend to neglect it.

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 1 Cor 3:6

Even in the midst of chionging for this week,
know that Prayer is the most ultimate weapon against satan.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
let's continue to pray and walk right with God!

this week has been an interesting week,
teachers fall sick and we have free periods.
and my bags are lighter! yeah!
though tomorrow is a crazy day, cause it's a TESTS day,
but i'm gonna rely on God (:

5 more weeks to prelim! gosh, time flies!

Hummingbird T-T

2009-07-16T19:24:00.003+08:00

this is SO SO SO NICE!!!! T-T
but it's SO SO SO EX!
but compared to gibson, a lot more better.
today is 16 July right?
2 more months to go :D

alright, was folding paper cranes in class today. HA!
and there's Amaths test. --
i wanted to revise yesterday but i fell asleep.
hoho, got to rely on God.
and i tell you okay, HE ROCKS!
He helped me all the way!

Rather than to ask God: "Why?"
Just tell God: "I trust You".

:)

Starts with ME

2009-07-05T20:03:00.002+08:00

I banged the table, feeling discontented,
after that, i don't do anything about it.
your hand must had hurt a lot when you banged the table.

I wanna do something different.
Do what thing? My life seems to be like the same.
where's the God who's supposed to reign in my life?

I catch the fire, but I did not continue to let it burn,
do you think the fire will last?
once the rain comes, the fire will be extinguish.

I wanna do this, I wanna do that.....
Nothing's done.
Who cares what I say? People look at what I do more.

I wanna see new faces in my CG.
New faces don't get pop by, we have to reach out to them.

'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,'
We don't wait for the glory to come,
We do our part in the glory of the present house,

You and I belong to this present house, ain't it?

Random Thoughts

2009-06-25T02:24:00.002+08:00

Some random thoughts running through my mind.

a patient who's going to die because of internal bleeding.
the parents was panicking.
the doctor said, "We will try our best to save him."
"You must, doctor! The price doesn't matter, just save him!"

People are going to hell, the numbers are increasing.
God was upset, because these are His people.
some are working hard to save even more souls,
they told God, "We will try our best to save them, God, help us as well."
while some, are wasting their time away.
"Hey, you must save the lost souls, they belong to me. I had paid the price already."

***

The operation was complicated,
while fixing with one organ, you have to make sure the rest of the organs are okay.
This wasn't easy. It took hours, sweats and many more things.
What kept them moving on?
This is what the doctors are commissioned for: To save lives.

The whole process of winning people is hectic,
while we outreach to people, we have to make sure we pray and ask God to intervene.
This wasn't easy. It took hours, days, sweats, blood and many more.
What kept us moving on?
What kept YOU moving on?
This is what we are commission for: To save the lost souls back to God.

***

What do doctors get at the end? Fame, gifts?
I think it's the satisfaction of letting one to continue to live.

What do we get at the end? Being a shepherd? Affirmation?
I think it's the satisfaction of letting one to live a new life with God and experiencing life transformation with God.

***

What kind of life are we living today?

Sometimes, we are just far too blessed.
to the point we took it for granted,
and forget what we are called on Earth for.

John 15:33 [at the point of difference, be indifferent in the world.]

Always by Hillsong United

2009-06-24T00:24:00.001+08:00

Did you rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that I might
Know Your majesty?
Is Your voice upon the wind?
Is everything I've
known marked
With my maker's fingerprints?

Breathe on me
Let me
see Your face
Ever I will seek You

Chorus:
'Cause all You are,
is all I want, always
Draw me close in Your arms
Oh God, I wanna be with
You

Can I feel You in the rain?
Abandon all I am to have You
Capture me again
Let the earth resound with praise
Can You hear as
all creation lives
To glorify one name?

i just like this song!

all over the world..

2009-06-21T21:30:00.002+08:00

at the point of difference, we have to be different for God.
my gosh, sounds easy but seems so tough.
that's why God will be there to help us.

saw these videos, i think it's very cool.
not that i'm bias over Japan, but i think they are all so cool!

L4D

2009-06-18T23:14:00.003+08:00

after having a fruitful lunch with CG.
we went to play L4D!
hahaha, i haven't touched it for 2 months already.

and one L4D game can create tons of jokes.
like i killed smoker Daniel before he can start killing people,
funny thing is he screams and doesn't know who killed him.
He doesn't give up and decided to hide in the elevator,
but he was found immediately and BOOM!

and Jeremy killed Teck Shuean, in the end he was being attacked and died.
how stupid.
and when Teck Shuean and Jeremy asked me to click BACK,
i pressed BACKSPACE. they nearly fainted.
these jokes cannot beat the one which i'm going to tell you.

This little cute CG member of ours is a Hunter in the game.
and we're playing at the rooftop there [as in, in the game].
so hunter hops back to avoid being seen by the survivors.
i don't how and what she did.
she kept jumping back till she jumps off the building.
LOL!
hunter commits suicide! nice!

what matters the most is, we all have FUN!

Today, Today, It's all or nothing.

2009-06-17T22:08:00.002+08:00

it's a part of a praise song: THE TIME HAS COME

"The time has come, to stand for all we believe in,
so i'm for one am gonna give my praise to you!"

okay, i still like the song, although it's like 4 years.
last time, it's a hip song and now it's an "old" song.
time seriously flies big time man.

and i'm so excited for tomorrow's caregroup!
i think we're all going to get crazy soon!
i mean, community is what matters the most!

keep the passion burning,
i'm going to be a HISTORY MAKER of my own land.
i'm going to be UNSTOPPABLE for God!
i'm going to LIVE IT ALL OUT FOR GOD!

now, who's with me?

UNSTOPPABLE

2009-06-15T15:46:00.001+08:00

I want to be in the part of Jesus Christ Revolution.

this song kept ringing in my mind since saturday.

God will make a way

2009-06-03T22:17:00.002+08:00

God,
make a way for all the impossibles to possibles.
Mountains can move and waves resound in Your name,
so God, I just pray, everything will go according to Your plan.
Have Your way, help me, Lord.
Soften their hearts, create a way for them.
be it in camp, in some situations.
God make a way,
bring them through this dark tunnel.

God, i trust You.

Amen

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best thing in life is:

UNSTOPPABLE is in 9 days time??

Re-vi-val

2009-05-25T21:09:00.003+08:00

i managed to get many many songs from the net,
and i listened to all the new Christian songs.
and it has similar purpose,
it all voice down to this one word: REVIVAL
so cool, i love the songs. HAHA

i had a great time with God today, after following up with Janice,

I talk to God while walking to my bus stop.
He told me many stuffs and i vent many stuffs to God.
and i did what i always used to do,
take the long 811 and sleep in the bus.
my Sabbath day. i feel so good.

In many churches, Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it was poison, it would not hurt anyone, and it was medicine, it would not cure anyone. We need a revival. [Coach Sabrina]

It begins with D

2009-05-23T00:56:00.004+08:00

during intercession, this word came back into my mind:

DESPERATION
how desperate are we to see God move?
how desperate you wanna see your school being won?
how desperate are you for more of God?
how desperate ......................?

i had enough.
time to stat being desperate for God.

honestly, it's not fun when you have to sit infront of the computer and update.
it's more fun when you install it into your phone.
signed up with tweet.sg , it's follows with your provider.
meaning, if you have free 1000 sms and you send within, it's free.
i have unlimited sms,
of course utilise it! LOL

yeah, i think its cool,
because i don't always update my blog, haha!
so the best way is through twitter.
and i can use it in school [when having breaks],
or outside etc.

And and! CAMP AS WELL!
if you can't go for camp etc, view my twitter kays?
cause i will defintely post up how's camp like,
keeping an update.

had a long day later on,
God, please bless me with strength.

EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!! every year, i will post this sentence without fail

yeah, for momentary.
but at least i can enjoy a 3 days break. Thank God.

God is my victory and He is here.

Visit to my cousin's house

2009-05-14T15:22:00.003+08:00

i visited my cousins on monday, along with my dad.
i wanted to go because i missed Caleb and his younger brother.
and they stayed around my house, which is super convenient.

when i went into the house,
the younger brother was drinking his milk and shy.
He couldn't recognise me, but later he did, i guess.
and Caleb was learning to play keyboard, with aunty teaching him.

So i just sat around and went inside the room, [which Caleb was having his lesson]
he was playing with his sunglasses, you know kids...
and told me about how he got a case for his sunglasses.
then i asked him:

"So what have you learn?"

"I know how to play London Bridge is falling down.."
[i forgot the second song he mentioned]

"ohh, you play the london bridge, i wanna listen"

and he plays happily.
after playing he just said, "Later Mummy going to teach me Yamaha."

Yamaha is some piano stuffs, to memorise some chords, not the brand which you see in Plaza Sing or at Sun Plaza. LOL

and i walked out.
Like a child, so excited, so wanting to learn new things.
as a child of God, i shall be excited too.
hoho, though i may be tired, but God is my strength.

A no title post

2009-05-10T22:44:00.002+08:00

today, i had no motivation to study.
i only recap on Binominal Theorm.
sinner, so lazy.

God!! help me!!
just 4 more days and liberty is coming!!
even though like June is coming and the cheena paper is coming.

but whatever it is, got to pull up my socks.
this week is even more torturing.
the electives week, sad.
hate it, hate it! i can't wait to burn all the notes.

Vivien, you can do it, with God!

love their harmonies

The ultimate

2009-05-07T20:33:00.003+08:00

i must say about this girl from Britains got talent.
She and her other friend actually team up to play a song.
but the judges kind of think that her friend screw up the whole performance,
so they gave her a second chance to perform.
and here it is...

ok, that's soso.
you have to see the next video, it's the ultimate of Beethoven Virus.

2009-05-04T20:59:00.001+08:00

I think as Christians we need to join hands and mount up together and lift God up and talk about our faith publicly and talk about all of the things God has done for us in our life to touch other people. - Brian Littrell, Backstreet Boys

i think that quote above simply rocks.

hurhur, mid year wont be in hall,
sad, can't experience that kind of thrill.

God, really pray that that influenza A won't come to Singapore,
if not, so many hectic things will happen..
but God, You're in control (:
so You had the best plan

Violin rocks too! :D

Violin

2009-05-03T17:58:00.000+08:00

oh my gosh. this is call SERIOUSLY NICE!

Feel?

2009-05-02T03:33:00.002+08:00

woohoo! 3.34am and i'm still up!
recently, there's some thoughts popping up in my mind now,
which i finally realise another side of it (:

i think you might heard something like this:
I can't feel God........

i think that's the the standard line for us during our young believer days.
it's alright if that thought had crossed your mind before,
or even now it's crossing to you.

well, this is what i think, my opinions.

first thing first, we must realise one thing: God is always with us, beside us.
the moment you received Jesus into your life, Jesus is always with you.
you cannot see Him, but He's powerful.
ok, remember: Jesus is with me.

ok, let me tell you a story now.
Sally and Kelly are very good friends, they're always together, very close.
then Sally did not really talk to Kelly, and they started to drift apart.
So Sally tell her other friends, "Oh my gosh, i don't feel that Kelly cares about me."

get that story?
it's not that you can't feel God,
it's because we did not spend enough time with God,
so you drift away from God. in fact, God is trying to find ways to talk to you.
but are we listening to God?
or busy with our computers, studies, etc.
the word "feel" makes it seems that it has to appeal to our 5 senses.
so, let's take time off and talk to God!
He has amazing plans for you !

From the inside out

2009-05-02T02:24:00.000+08:00

So nice~~~

Caregroup!!

2009-04-22T23:07:00.002+08:00

we had our very first new NC1 caregroup!!
with many new people and old people and many many funny people.

we had funny games.
Jeremy was leading this camp like the players can't say the word on top of their head.
the opponent play had to lure them to say it.
and only the opponent team can see the word they had to lure, not their own word.

so Sean sim cannot say Vivien.
so he was luring James to say Y-hope and he failed.
and Sean turned back slightly and Jeremy thought Sean saw the word.

and Jeremy asked: You got see anything at the back?
He replied: No, i only see Vivien.

and he lost the game.

second one. daniel vs terance.
Terance cannot say chongpang, daniel cannot say Sean.
so after long minutes of debating and talking. these two teams are smart.
so Sean cannot tahan.
He just acted like he wanted to leave.
then Daniel said: Say goodbye to Sean.
and everyone did.
and Daniel lost the game.

after cg, we went to eat dinner.
there's like: daniel, sean, jingwen, sichen and me.
had lots of fun and sharing of many stuffs.

laughed like mad in caregroup today.
it certainly creates a memory in me.

Memories

2009-04-21T21:33:00.002+08:00

i was at my friend's blog, she was recalling her life in primary school.
and we were in the same primary school.

"keep on tapping our ezlink card at the attendance taker just to hear the beep sound".
that's what i loved to do in the past.

and many more, my life in Girls' Brigade.
there's even more...
that piano at the corner, the place which i did my duty.
and training my junior to scream and scold those people who deserved to be scolded.
and laughing at the juniors when the p6s finished our PSLE, we were slacking!

so many, so fun.
but, time to move forward.

even those in secondary schools.

how cj and me fought till our files spoilt into half;
how we always disturb mr chu, especially when he say Sample into Sumple, LOL.
and how we stupidly blow bubbles in class, distracting all the teachers and the perfume war.
we even continued our camp cheer to the point we had to sit outside the class,
yet we were still cheering.
and marilyn with her mushroom hair.
and all of us create nonsense when we sit at the back.

and i remembered one vividly,
the moment Mdm Ng screamed, the thunder boomed!
so cool.

even in ministry,
my first camp was esprit de corps. people always recognise me as Cynthia's sister.
and i admired my sis because she was the only female drummer in north band.
then God posted me into Yishun Sec,
wearing that gigantic uniform.
Liyan looked so nerdy with that fringe tied backwards.. HAHA! [Joking..]
how people always encourage me with 1 Timothy 4:12 .
how my sis would play the guitar and i'll sing worship songs together with her.
how i looked forward to every camp.
my most memorable camp is Encounter camp because i encountered God.
and YSS group grow in the later year of 2006..
my first time sharing testimony on stage in First Frontier.

i would burst if i keep on writing down.
the best way is, look at the Archives (:

PURPLE!

2009-04-19T22:53:00.003+08:00

i think both look seriously hot now!

PURPLE LEI! :P

and that's not the point.

and and

today i saw the 2 new mangas of Kindaichi!!

*faints*

what a right timing, when camp comes, comes something more interesting.

feel so good.

anyways, i'm starting to prepare myself for many things tomorrow.

woohoo, so that's a challenge for me.

long time since i've started to fast, so yeah, i'm excited.

though it's tough, but God is always there,

and He's always there :D

dream BIG dreams

2009-04-11T01:12:00.003+08:00

i was once reminded about DREAMING.
not in those in our sleep, but our dream for God.

i actually wanted to do my homework,
in the end i ended up writing my dreams.
those dreams which i had in the past, as a young believer.
then a year old christian, etc .

i noticed i wrote the same dream, for some.
and somehow some way, my old dreams did perish.
like i had to take much time to recap my dreams

i used to had a silly yet simple dream:
i wanna see people jump during praise and raise their hand during worship.

it's like a child, so innocent, yet big.
i realise this thing: No one is too old to dream.
even bible says old men dream dreams, haha.
so what more about us?

and since God give us this dream,
let's take a step to accomplish. ok i'll try my best to fulfil mine. woots~
nothing is too big or too small for God.
just dream BIG.

woots~
i'm so looking forward to go haji lane with tingting!
like there's many things to catch up.
and have a mad time at that place filled with grafitti!
nice~!

With a single prayer, You restore my soul...

I had a...

2009-04-07T12:16:00.001+08:00

Bad Headache =.=

To be continued...

SAY NO

2009-03-29T00:52:00.002+08:00

to temptations!

recently, this verse rang my heart.

Romans 12: 1-2

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

get away from the worldly distractions!
what good can they give you anyway?

by the way, i hate useless adverts.

Rise

2009-03-17T18:52:00.000+08:00

I've been crazy over this song

Journey

2009-03-10T22:29:00.003+08:00

i was reading this book call Journey by Low Kay Hwa.

man, this book is real touching.

i read 12 chapters of it and it's real good. [It only have 12 chapters online to read]

you can't find her books in any normal popular book stores,

if i had to buy this book, at most i can go to dhoby ghaut.

i'm so tempted to buy, so nice lor.

this is my second day of fasting 2 meals for ESS.

1st day go so swiftly,

today then is the challenge.

usually, my recess is at the latest timing.

so my stomach was rumbling, in my mind, i was like: should i eat or i should not?

there's like fighting between the body and Spirit.

my body wants to give in and the Spirit is like, NO! You can't!

obviously, i listened to the Spirit.

and keep on focus on God throughout and i survived.

tomorrow's another challenge.

Your curtain call .

Dreams + Passion

2009-03-08T21:28:00.001+08:00

dream: an aspiration; goal

passion: a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything

Random-ing.

Charge up and do it all for God (:

Break Free!

2009-03-06T23:08:00.002+08:00

i bet some of us forget the existence of this song.

So would you break free, would you break free,
get up and dance in His love.

Race against time

2009-03-04T21:05:00.003+08:00

Today, i had a great thrill of racing against time with God.

there's no library duty today! [REJOICE!]
so i ate my lunch and decided to go home.

actually i wanted to do a simple bulletin,
but it's so not good, so i decided to do.
By the time i finished packing everything, it's 4.10pm
i have to reach blk 297 by 4.40pm
so awesome.
logically speaking, i have a high tendency to be late.

4.20pm ; just finish photocopying the bulletin.
i'm going to be super late.

i prayed for a us to reach the moment i reached the bus stop.
yeah and i reached the interchange at 4.30pm like that.
and the 804 bus reached just a minute later,
and i manage to reach at 4.40pm!

yeah, God rocks my socks!

Selah

2009-03-03T20:50:00.006+08:00

You must be greater in me, oh Lord,
lt all the rest fade away,
Draw me nearer to You each day,
I yearn to fix my eyes on You.

I want to give you my everything
Just to walk with You by my side
My joy is complete in You
for You are my strength, my Hope.

Turn my eyes to the one Above (:

Thoughts

2009-02-22T23:46:00.001+08:00

a problem comes and you stand there feeling helpless.
thinking: the problem is too big.

think again.

God did not say that the problem is too big for Him.
So just trust in God.

Sing to the Lord

2009-02-20T22:55:00.000+08:00

This song hit me soo hard.

Family

2009-02-17T21:33:00.002+08:00

my family is interesting.

went home with my dad and he asked me about results etc.
he said i must try hard to go poly.
of course i wanna go poly. jc is not my cup of tea.
then he said he's gonna pay for my school fees next time.
my sis also said she will buy a laptop for me if i go into poly.
Mum doesn't believe that i can make it.

Mum: she's so lazy, i don't believe she can.
Dad: i believe she can!

my mum always don't believe i can.
my dad and sis always believes me.

there was once when i was choosing my secondary school,
my dad and sis supported me to go yishun sec.
mum wanted me to go naval base.
and they held some "election".
in the end it turn out to be useless.

so yeah, they're always that interesting.

IT IS

2009-02-16T21:44:00.002+08:00

7 MORE MONTHS TO MY BIRTHDAY!

just for the fun of it.
take your time, 7 more months is still long. (:

Turn your eys upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face,
and the things of the world, will go strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace

Surrender

2009-02-15T22:00:00.000+08:00

I'm giving you my heart, and all that is within
I lay it all down for the sake of you my King
I'm giving you my dreams, I'm laying down my rights
I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life

And I surrender all to you, all to you
And I surrender all to you, all to you

I'm singing You this song, I'm waiting at the cross
And all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss
For the sake of knowing You for the glory of Your name
To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain

Thoughts

2009-02-06T23:37:00.001+08:00

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

this is taken from Desert Song.
Good or bad times, God is still God.
He's faithful.

God is indeed interesting.

Speak Lord, I'm listening

2009

2009-01-01T20:32:00.004+08:00

One year ago, 1 January 2008, i blogged that

God promise me that 2008 is a good year.

and it's a good year, indeed.

in 2009, it's not going to be a year of Roses.
it's going to be a year of Relying on God and many spiritual wars.
despite the fact that it sounds so down, it's going to be a year where God will work more,
God will show more miracles and wonders.
I'm so so looking forward to more plans that God has for me.

are you?

The Five Factor Personality Test

2008

2008-12-30T22:58:00.002+08:00

let me evaluate my 2008 .

it's a year of many FIRSTs time;

pioneering a new ground
leading mixed genders group
leading problematic people
i played guitar in caregroup
i have to plan about many stuffs
i cut short hair and many times.. hahaha
and many more i guess..

i have to thank God the things which He had blessed me;

I remembered how God soften my dad's heart and i can go Oasis camp.
I remembered how God provided me for Heroes camp.
I remembered how God pulled me through my end of year exam.
I remembered when i prayed and tell God that no structured essay questions on plants and He made it happened for my bio paper.
I remembered how God create a miracle in my group.
I remembered when i pray that there would be no extra lesson because i want to outreach, He made it happened too.
I remembered how God provided me generously.

indeed there's many things.
i can't really recall all the things.
i only know God is faithful .

2008 is going to be another history again, it's a good year, better than 2007.
i just pray that 2009 would be a better year.

So what if i'm facing a monster call O ?
that O come to me with head-breaking questions and all stupid numbers,
i come to it in the name of Jesus that He will bless me with understanding and wisdom.

sigh, after all, i'm getting older.
Two years ago, i was sec one and now,
i'm graduating soon.

Life is just a breath after all.

time for music again

cover for Stand in the rain, the egit sounds so rocky.
and the ending is my favourite part. haha.

What's my best?

2008-12-23T23:25:00.004+08:00

Moses just got a staff,
and he saved two million people from the Egyptians.

David just got 5 stones with him,
and he saved the whole country from the Philistine army.

A boy with only 5 loaves and 2 fishes,
and he saved 5000 men from starving to death.

they had nothing but an insignificant stuffs with them,
but God make it significant.
they surrender all their best to God, their best.
and i want to give my best to God too.

it may be really hard, but God,
i trust you.

HEROES

2008-12-17T22:23:00.003+08:00

here i am, back home

really felt refreshed in this camp. it looks as if it's my first camp,
well the fact is, i went to many camps. haha.

i love the very first night because i learnt about the life of Moses.
Moses, it's the very first character that i've ever known when i first read the bible when i was just a primary school student.
really humble, really cool.
and i broke down at the altar call that night.
i just tell everything to God and my heart felt real pain, but i just it's time to grow!

i think you'll love this:

Esther: she's my idol.
she's gorgeous, but most importantly, she's courageous.
in the end, she saved her people.
because of her courage.

second night was a memorable night.
prayed for pioneering
prayed for the growth of north.
and I AM PROUD THAT I'M IN NORTH!

i'm convicted about many stuffs,
i can write about it,
but i don't want to.
i want to put those conviction into action.
if not, they are just an image, just words.

PICTURES in camp, those really random:

Joyce in YISHUN SEC uniform !

ok, this one is a joke, it looks perfectly in others phone, but...

now, where are we all looking at??

CAMP!

2008-12-13T01:07:00.001+08:00

Zooming off to camp real soon!

Alright, don't miss me, but if you really do,

District Caregroup

2008-12-10T21:42:00.005+08:00

had a great time in district caregroup today.
but i'm really exhausted now!!

i was the station master for Unity game, took many pictures.
and NC1 make me laugh like crazy.
& shall upload some pictures.

2nd and 4th picture is obvious picture of people falling.

there's a really amusing joke in this game from NC1.

Sean was helping everyone to tie their feet. He sort of make this circle shape so that everyone can put their feet in easily.

& everyone goes: WA, Egg so smart sia!

then when they're walking back, the string loosen, so he tied back again.

but he go and tie his own leg instead.

then everyone was laughing at him.
hahaha!

oh yes, there's more pictures of other caregroups doing,

Lead Me To The Cross

2008-12-08T13:39:00.003+08:00

One of my favourite song

Northbrooks

2008-12-04T00:36:00.000+08:00

just another blessing from God.

actually, i was planning to meet my northbrooks contacts,
together as a whole North C 1 and their contacts.
so at the end, none of them is available.
this is sooo saddening.

actually, i really pray and beg Him that He will bless, somehow, some way.
at first, i called 2 of my contacts but they did not pick up my call.
But in the end, they replied to my sms!
and one of them even agreed to go out with me after 8 Dec.

yeah! thank God that He revived 3 of my dry contacts.
and they are all Sec ones!
Thank God!!

To know your name

2008-12-03T00:15:00.001+08:00

i almost forget the existent of this song.
after i listen to it once again,
speechless.

A trip

2008-12-02T22:10:00.003+08:00

imagine yourself:

that you're on a train, on your way to going somewhere.
in front of you, you see two girls.
one dress so like a-normal-teenage-girl could dress,
while the other looks like..
you don't know whether is she dressing like a girl or guy.

on your way, you see them chatting etc.
then you see them being so intimate.
you wish and you pray that the stop which you're going to alight will be reaching.
and, people around looks like they need a plastic bag or some things to cover.
rolled your eyes to some other places meanwhile you're feeling disgusted.
and finally you can alight and you feel glad about it.

in your mind, i can guess what you're thinking:
CORRUPTED GENERATION
because this is what i thought as well.

meanwhile, after you feel disgusted,
you walked around and reminded that;
actually, the world needs Jesus.
i think if Jesus is to be here on Earth, He will definitely not let this happen.

ps: this is a first person recount :P

None But Jesus

2008-12-02T02:30:00.001+08:00

There is no one else for me,
none but Jesus,
crucify to set me free, now i live to bring Him praise.

Got blew away by the song once again.

Keyboard

2008-11-29T03:17:00.002+08:00

so going to touch it soon.

3.17am and i'm still awake, many things to do.
this week has been an ups and downs week.
testings come one after another.
like Faith tested and so on..

Faith: It's about looking beyond the natural.

Harvest: It's not about the quantity, but LIFE TRANSFORMATION.

Anticipating for December,
camps, christmas and cg08.
all the Cs.

but i haven't touch any homework yet.
:P

Updates

Blessing in disguise

2008-11-21T23:51:00.002+08:00

Firstly, just wanna wish Miss Aw An Qi:
Happy 15th birthday!!!
older by one year again..

ok, i have 2 blessings to share today.

as i was outreaching in northpoint today,
there's no northbrooks people, or even from yss.
i was complaining to God:
so this is your so called "victory" ?
i thought we are suppose to be victorious.
then after the lesson on Everyday Evangelism,
we went to plaza sing to outreach to people.
and guess what?
i managed to get 2 northbrooks contacts.
i was so stunned, like this is PS, and there's yishun people.
So God replied back to me:
So, what do you think now?
I got nothing to say .

second blessing is, actually i don't have money for camp.
i don't really want to take from my parents.
they will start their lecturing if i ask them for money.
i have been praying that God will provide me.
from the beginning, i have a strong sense that i will get edusave.
i was thinking: not bad, i did improve in some subjects.
at least getting $150 is enough.
but today, i just found my letter on the table.
it's Edusave Bursary Award, $250 .
I was like so happy!
Thank God!

i have to be single-minded,
devoted and focus on God, then blessings will just flow.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Filled me with Your glory

2008-11-19T21:55:00.002+08:00

In my heart, in my heart, there's a fire burning
A passion deep within my soul
Not slowing down, not growing cold
An unquenchable flame that keeps burning brighter
A love that's blazing like the sun
For who You are and what You've done
And as the fire is raging on
So Your praise becomes my song

The whole earth
Is filled with Your glory, Lord
Angels and men adore
Creation longs for what's in store
(Mountains bow and oceans roar)
May You be
Honored and glorified
Exalted and lifted high
Here at Your feet I lay my life

From the ends of the earth
To the heights of Heaven
Your glory, Lord, is far and wide
Through history You reign on high
From the depths of the sea
To the mountain's summit
Your power, Lord, it knows no bounds
A higher love cannot be found
So let the universe proclaim
Your great power and Your great name

Miracle!

2008-11-18T23:19:00.003+08:00

let me blog about today.

yeah, finally got my shirts!

& today, liyan, tingting, daniel, sean and me, 5 of us went to outreach at northpoint.
really, walked around the whole northpoint, including the extension.
and we gathered 5 contacts from northbrooks !
actually to me, it's really like God bless,
because last time, when we outreach, there's not even a single northbrooks.
and all the 5 of them are lower secondary students!
yeah! Thank God!!

if you have faith, God will give it to you!

Shepherd of my soul

2008-11-13T01:14:00.002+08:00

Shepherd of my soul
I give you full control
Wherever You may lead
I will follow
I have made a choice
To listen for Your voice
Wherever You may lead
I will go

Be it in a quiet pasture
Or by a gentle stream
The shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The shepherd of my soul
Will be my guide

another old song, but i just love the lyrics.

The power of Your love

2008-11-11T21:03:00.003+08:00

this song popped into my mind as i was doing my QT
and when i was looking through the chords.
it's kind of an old song,
but the lyrics really speak into my heart.

Loving God

2008-11-11T01:04:00.002+08:00

seriously, the title has prompted my heart many times.

LOVE .
what's your defination of love?
Get hooked or obsessed in something?

let's say you like something,
you will keep talking about the thing you liked,
you don't care whether people like it or not,
you just keep on talk and talk and talk, non stop.
and when you like a particular thing,
you introduce this thing to other people,
you hope that at the end, they will like what you like too.
you get hooked on this thing until your mum have to yell you to go to bathe.
sometimes, in a bad way,
you are so hooked until you delayed to do many things
or you forget to do homeworks.
you can even sleep later just to do this particular thing you like.

shouldn't we do that for God too?

because if we love God,
we will keep talking how good God is,
we will keep desiring and look forward to meet God everyday.
we got so hooked to the bible,
we worship God everyday.
and with our lips, we share how God bless us.
and everyday we do our ministry for God.

just exactly how you like to do all the things.

Mark 12:30 (Amplified bible)

And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment.

if we love God, naturally our actions will show,
if kind of normal that everything we do,
we just wanna please God.
it sounds easy, but many people did not manage to do it.
then the question is:
Who is God in your life?

Like in Romans 12 : 1-2 [The message]

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

in everything we do,
actually God sees it, He can be please or unhappy.
we keep on saying that we love God,
we wanna do everything to please God ....
talk without action is rubbish,
must as well you save that saliva for swallowing of food.
seriously God doesn't care what you say,
He cares what's in your heart the most.

looking at this, i think i'm a real sinner.
i don't think my life is a pleasing to God one as yet.
Still striving towards perfection.

seriously, i really wonder,
if Jesus is here, right now with me, how am i living my life?
i think i would live really better than now.
then if it's like this,
i must as well live like Jesus is here, at home, everywhere with me now.
but seriously, it can be interesting.
like we're stunned and how Jesus is going to show our past mistakes.
hurhur, can be quite scary though.
but, God still loves us (:

a long post of my thought. gee

Extreme neglection

2008-11-05T22:48:00.002+08:00

seriously, i'm very very very lazy to blog.
rarely i would one to get this blog being blogged.
except now.

actually this whole week it links to LOVE.
today's teaching is about loving people.
monday, during prayermeet, God told me about loving God.
i won't blog up what God told me first.
until after tomorrow (:
cause its sort of link what i wanna do tomorrow.
so tomorrow i will blog again, hopefully.

yeah, 2 videos!

Perfect Love - Hillsong United.

cover for Hosanna.
so cool, now someone get me an electric guitar.
i wanna learn too! :D

Intercession

2008-10-24T23:22:00.002+08:00

today's intercession is really very cool.
i'm still wide awake as i typed this.
it was my first time for xinru and me to leading worship in a new environment.
xinru was kinda nervous though.
and the worship is really awesome.
because God's presence is there.

basically, we've been praying for an hour.
so cool.
and i'm playing the guitar for one hour.
normally, the flesh around the thumb there will peel.
cause i don't use pick.
and surprisingly, it's doesn't hurt or anything.
it got healed immediately!
thank God!

it was a fresh experience for me.
because i don't really intercede for the church.
we normally just pray for our sheep, caregroup, leaders ...
but this time, we really intercede for the church, for the youth ministry.
and i really feel that God is moving.
i think it's better for you to experience the thrill.
cause you won't feel anything even if i type 100 paragraphs.
you've got to experience it.

FREEDOM!

Trust in You

2008-10-21T18:47:00.001+08:00

When I am found upon my knees
And all want is you to be with me
I know you show yourself so true
My hope is found in you

When I walk through the valleys though
If I am weary of the narrow road
I know you show yourself so strong
I know you're faithful
All my days I will trust
I will trust in you

And Though my heart and flesh may fail
Jesus I will trust in you

When I am found upon my knees
And all I want is you to meet with me
I know you show yourself so true
My hope is found in you

All my days I will trust
I will trust in you
And Though my heart and flesh may fail
Jesus I will trust in you

Hallelujah my soul will sing your praise

Thought..

2008-10-21T00:02:00.002+08:00

there's many things i have to do for God;
I know it's tough,
i know i will face countless of troublesome troubles,
i know rejection will just come.

bunch of people chasing girls to do a survey,
wait, that's not just an ordinary survey,
it has a deeper meanings.
and the bunch of people normally dressed in their uniforms.
what are they doing?
why don't they just go home?

Sorry, we are doing something for God.
when i think of that,
those problems seems to fade away from my mind.

trust me, i thank God when i faced rejections while doing His work,
and blessings comes at the end.

Back!

2008-10-12T20:53:00.002+08:00

i'm super lazy to update now...
maybe some other better time.

so many things to do uh..
no time to update.

and i'm listening to the songs that i received from the yishun town girls yesterday.
thank you!!

and i have no school tomorrow still.
yeah!

Devotion

2008-09-21T13:41:00.000+08:00

I've been running, trying to be one who sees
I've been working, this salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
We are redeemed
I'm believing, trusting in creative hands,
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
To take up my cross and follow You Lord

When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

Remix

2008-09-18T21:47:00.002+08:00

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of Your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By Your Spirit, I am free

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now i live to bring Him praise.

This is my prayer in the desert
when all thats within me feels dry
this is my prayer in my hunger and need
my God is the God who provides

And I remember how you found me
at the very same place
all my failings surely would have drowned me
but You make a way

just passed fifteen, peacefully.
and i did a great thing to my calculator.
eyes are closing soon.
