The Last Song

If you had a few more months to live what would you do?

As a divorcee, Steve juz wanted to see his daughter (Ronnie) and son (Jonah) and spend quality time with them for the last time. Ronnie was initially defensive towards her dad cos he left the family years back. She literally 'pushed' away everyone around her, including this cute guy (Will) that she got to know. In a chance encounter with Will while protecting some turtles' eggs, Ronnie gets to know Will better and the two eventually fall in love. Things also get better with her Dad as they reconnect through their common love: Music. Just when things seem to be turning out juz fine, they discover Steve's lung cancer and that he only has weeks to live.

Based on the bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks, I personally loved this show! There were comedic moments, esp. from Jonah and sad, touching moments. A story on love, loss, reconciliation and moving on in life =) Simple yet deep, a muz-watch at the big screen! U dont wanna miss this! :P

I stand amazed

Today is the day You have made I will rejoice and be glad in it =)

Met up with JP today at tamp central.
We wanted to go to Sakura@SAFRA Tampines cos of some discount then we realised that we needed a DBS Master/Visa card which we dont :(
Wasted sia!
If not each person $12 onli!

Anyway, it was a good time of fellowship =)
Discussed ns, sch, church, etc.
Roughly 6 months left for him!
Minus away weekends, holidays and off'/leave shd be abt 4 months onli :P
Miss the good old days of Wanton Mee with him, Gerrard and En Wei.
The sweet memories will always be dear to my heart :)
Yes, time doesnt wait.
But at the same time it gives you some perspective.
Believe it ornot, we are all running out of time.
Dont hold on to things that wont matter 5 or 10 years down the road.
Is being right reli so impt?
Is that position/role u r in reli so impt?
I dont like being wronged.
But I guess its part of the package.
Lord help me to juz look to You and Your finished work.
To see Your nail-pierced hands.
And the blood that freely flowed.
Every stripe that was unleashed upon You.
To know that "It is finished!"

I think that's the hardest thing to do.
To believe that everything is already finished.
To believe that we onli hav to walk in His blessings for us.
To rest in Him by believing that
1. He has gone before us
2. He fights our battles for us
3. He carries us in His arms

Deuteronomy 1:29-31
Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified, or afraid of them. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.'

Indeed, He carries us ALL THE WAY until we reach His promised land, the land of rest where everything is by His efforts and not ours =)

Wanna share this beautiful song:

Workout

Badminton rocks!!! :D
Its been awhile since I fully utilized so many muscles haha :P
I wanna play once every week!
It'll be so fun!
One stone kill so many birds lolx :P

Ever since exams ended, I've been slacking, playing, etc.
Roughly one more month b4 I leave this sunny island.
What lies ahead seems so much fun, yet I know that I will miss this place.
The place where everything is so familiar.
Where I can literally do wad I want, go places I wanna go, and juz hang out :)

As I grow up, I realise more and more that busy-ness is a subtle disease.
My friends and I fall prey to it time and again.
It is probably the number one excuse not to meetup.
And yet there is nothing to say or do.
'Cos there may be valid reasons for being 'busy'.
Oh well, learning to live a life of rest is a lifelong journey :)
Even in this area, I shall entrust everything to you Jesus.
Whatever I have belongs to you anyway :)
I believe, and I receive.
Remind me that the supply is always flowing.
Your supply is ALWAYS flowing.
Teach me to have a child-like faith, and simply receive all that you have for me :)

Sometimes it is so easy to forget that everything comes by grace.
Can it be totally grace? We ask.
Man still wants some of the glory, so we dont believe that everything big or small is only purely by His grace.
In the natural, didnt we put in our efforts?
Didnt we work for it?
Didnt we strive for it?
Man cannot believe that nothing is a result of their own efforts.
Nothing at all.
We always want to split the glory with God.
I pray that I will learn to see my life the way God sees it.
Redeemed.
Forgiven.
Blessed.
Prosperous.
Beloved.
