A fresh outlook

Happy 2011 guys! =)
I know its like already almost end of Jan but still wanted to wish u all Happy New Year!!
Juz changed the blogskin and its not really the ideal one that I have in mind but I'm contented =)

Anyway, 2011 is the year of His crowned goodness and there have already been so many great testimonies! I began the first day of 2011 with a blast; busying myself with Simon's wedding for the whole day. Looking back it was reli awesome, the preparations and all! We had great fun b4 and after the wedding =) I got to know quite a few ppl too, and now I've got more international friends! :P

Oh well its back to sch next week!
Somehow its always mixed feelings haha! =)
1st week of sch: lectured onli
2nd week of sch: CNY -_-
they shd juz start sch after CNY hahaha :D



Have a confident expectation of good in the days ahead!! =)

Gosh its December already???

Quit trying—the only one who can live the Christian life is Jesus Himself and He wants to do it through you! -Joseph Prince

This is like such an awesome quote la!
Once u reli get wad it means it'll set u free I promise! :D

Cant believe its already December.
2010 is fading away fast.
It has been a rewarding yr no doubt, with so many things happening.
First I joined Rock Kidz in May, then went for my first HM camp followed by Korea for exchange!
That 2 months plus period was reli awesome!!!
Still miss the carefree days in Pusan :P

As usual, sch started after tat and time accelerated after recess week (what's new?)
Before I know it, I'm now left with 11 days to my first paper =/
This time round, I feel somehow more slack in my preparations.
Apparently an extra week sortof popped up b4 the exams, maybe tat's y I'm still taking it easy :)
Oh well I juz wan it to quickly start, cos when it does it will end fast!
And then there's a few days of celebrating b4 I head to Myanmar for Simon's wedding!!!
Awesomeness :D
It feels quite surreal these days, as if I've already finished my exams.

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

I think I wanna change my blogskin.
And update the pics.
35 more days to Christmas.
41 more days to 2011.
Time doesnt wait for anybody.

Was on my way to downtown east when I overheard 2 christians toking behind me on bus 21. I had no intention to eavesdrop but they simply spoke too loudly :P Seems like they were going for some church meeting this guy and gal, and they were blabbering abt who's going and why and wad not. Many a times I smiled to myself whenever I heard something tat I could identify with. It reli ties in the book I'm reading now. "Searching for God knows what" by Donald Miller. The quest for an authentic faith is not to be trivialised by formulas or correct theology. Since the beginning of time, we were hardwired for relationship. All of us need to be told that we are valued and important, juz that the way we achieve that can vary, and sometimes things can go awfully wrong. We need God because we need God, otherwise we'll take our cue from a jury of peers, and some of them can be pretty nasty at times.

Its a good read, that book.
Highly recommended by me :)

Met my bro and cousins for Harry Potter after that.
It was good!
Everything was in place and all, except that we had to wait 8 months for Part 2 :(
It seemed like an awfully long wait.
Oh well, I guess I'll get the dvd and watch it again b4 Part 2 comes out :D

23 days to the first paper.
Learning to rest and reign still.
I can do it.
Or rather Jesus has done it.
I juz need to believe :)

Old Hillsong Songs

Once again, we've reached the point where its less than 2 months to the new year! Time reli doesnt wait for anyone, and depending on how u see it, it can be for better or for worse :)

Exams are in 5 weeks plus time, and somehow I need a miracle for 321. Its reli the toughest course that I have ever taken so far and I'm literally clueless abt the most part of the content. Anyway, I shall continue to have bible hope (Elpis), a hope which does not disappoint!! It has been done, and I shall walk as if I have received the good report :)

Suddenly missing old Hillsong songs, like "Through it all, Made me glad, Worthy is the Lamb" and many others. Simple but powerful lyrics, coupled with sweet melodies.

Its so good to see the gospel for what it really is - what that one perfect sacrifice really means to us. Only the wisdom of God could devise such a plan, and together with the fierce love He had for us, resulted in God pouring forth abundance of grace on all mankind!! It is a love story that no man could think of or ever conceive! By taking what we deserved, He gave us what He deserved!!! It is indeed A-M-A-Z-I-N-G G-R-A-C-E who came down for us all :D

Grace Himself came down; can u imagine that???
Who are we that He shd die for us???
Would you give your life for a man, even for a very good man?
Yet He gave His life for us, we who deserve hell otherwise.
Pulling us out from darkness and into his marvelous light, He embarked on the rescue mission.
And today we are not just forgiven sinners but righteous people with a position restored to a much higher place than before!!!
Oh who can fathom His wonderful love???
There is a warmth when u juz think abt it, abt all that He did.
Dont u juz feel so loved?
You are His beloved, in whom He is well pleased :)
Nothing could ever separate you from His love!

Sometimes I wonder what did I do to even deserve all this?
Then I realise that it was nv abt me.
It was never, ever abt what I did or did not do.
Grace is undeserving, so dont try to deserve it.
Knowing this makes me even more awed at His love,
Cos' it is a love based on Him and not our actions.


So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you are God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me


You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You
I'll sing to You Lord a hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'll never let me go
Through it all


For You have me made glad
And I'll say of the Lord
You are my shield
My strength
My portion
Deliverer
My shelter
Strong tower
My very present help in time of need

Badminton Revival

I dunno if anyone else still reads this nearly dead blog but anyway here I am again :)
After more than one month of non-updating I realised I still wanted to keep some of the precious memories here :)

Today is a special day: 20/10/2010
A once-in-a-lifetime date.
And I started off the badminton routine again.
For the next 2 Wednesdays, we'll be playing from 6pm to 8pm at Tampines Sports Hall.
Interested parties can contact me or simply turn up on the day itself :)

Thank God I still hav pictures from fb to capture the precious moments:

My Beloved Caregroup

Birthdays :)

International Friends

Rock Kidz ASA 2010!

In the middle of my recess week, so far nothing substantial done yet and I'm going shopping tml haha :P
In many ways life has been awesome, and Jesus has juz been so faithful walking this journey with me, even though at times it seems like nobody cares :)
I believe that even as the year has not ended, there is still more to come, esp. in this year of restful increase!!
Recently it reli hit me that the Christian life is acty v simple and can be summarised in 3 points:

1. Receiving
When we truly understand the price that Jesus paid at the Cross, what He has done on our behalf and receive everything humbly, it will bless us tremendously!!

2. Resting
Once we understand that Christ has done it all the Cross, we can rest easy. Our conscience is settled, knowing that our sin debt has been fully paid (or in fact overpaid!)

3. Reigning
As we embrace the finished work of Christ and rest in it more and more, there will come a point when the manifestation will happen from the inside out. In conjunction with this year's theme of restful increase, we will start reigning in all areas of life and see the abundance and supply in all areas of our lives!!


Alrite, shall sign off here :)
Dunno when I will post again but I hope its not too long from now! :P
