 when Jesus has become the most significant thing in your life everything else seems unimportant and minute...me like. :)

Matt 7: 21-23, the words of Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

After coming across this passage in camp it really hit me hard. Been pondering on this issue for quite a few months now, since VQ started the bible study group with us. It's always been "yes, I will do it. i mean, i go to church every week, serve here and there, blah blah blah..." but it's like it's never been real. Lost touch with my Father for quite a while already, and I want to come back to Him. I need to really, seriously, surrender everything in my life to Him and start living a Christ-centered life.

These are private thoughts but I won't be locking this post because I want EVERYONE who reads this to know and accept the good news too. Just as I got scared for myself, I got scared for my friends too. Many call themselves Christians/people who do good things, but no one except God knows in each of our hearts whether we truly believe and have accepted Jesus as our Saviour. I even have 'Christian' friends in school who have such unChristian-like beliefs and behaviour, that makes me sad. Or worse, you think you've been a good Christian but actually never really had a real relationship with God but don't know it. To everyone reading this...when Judgement Day comes, do you want to stand at the gates of Heaven expecting to be let in but finally hearing those dreaded words from Jesus: "I never knew you"? I'm sure no one wants that. So if we don't want that, let us really give up everything we have in our lives; all our earthly possessions and luxuries which do not last, and start living a life that is pleasing and glorifying to our Maker.

Updates on camp in the next entry!

Oks, finally settled moving. A BIG thankyou to the boys and muffron. Thank you heaps. Should have a garage sale to sell those bags and shoes. HEAPS of them. So sorry Cass cannot pack. But I try to make it up in meals, kinder beunos and a lot and a lot of gratitude. Thank you so much girlie=) And sorry too :/ Pretty eventful day still, moving, unexpected things which cropped up, and helping out at Pastor's. Mum is excited about Christmas dinner which we'll be making and hopefully, the boys will be involved.

• The menu so far -
• honey glazed ribs -
• steak and garlic potato -
• my broccoli -
• penne :) -
• cranberry turkey -
• Christmas cake from Goodwood -
• Daddy's wine.

And with the girlies? - insert whatever we can come up with.

But before that, have heaps to settle especially with admin. And nup, no unnecessary case of high strung/ panic attacks is needed. SO Cass if you EVER have to resort to that, just know that turtlenecks stringed with panic is just so annoying and really out of season. Especially in summer. 

But let's think heavy for THE thesis.

 

 


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I actually think this is super funny! Don't ask why, I just think it is.

Anyway, the Declaration of Principles for peace was signed in 93' between Rabin and Arafat for 'peace' between the Arabs and the Israelis. Israel gave up land in exchange for 'peace'. That never worked out of course. NEVER remove the ancient landmarks which the Lord has put in place. Never alter, never push it. All three leaders were later awarded Nobel Peace Prize awards. Arafat continued aggravating and antagonizing. Rabin was later assasinated. What a joke seriously. And I think it's hilarious that the Nobel Peace prize award was named after Alfred Nobel, the man who invented dynamite. FIENDS. hehe*

YIKES.

how to rescue and make peace. I have absolutely no clue. It must come to pass. Oh wells, let those leaders talk about peace. And while at that, I will continue to observe from a distance, enjoying nutella crepes with my latte. And I think when peace is finally achieved, snap! we would all be in a better place. I just do not like being in transit I guess. Too much buildup, like blackheads which needs exfoliating =)

But treaties are signed in the hope of containing further aggravation and mischief. We all just have to do it in faith. Diplomacy? What a luxury. But grace oh grace, how ABSOLUTELY necessary.

=)



Always, always a blessed and lovely time having crepes, fruit tarts and lattes/flat whites with Aunt G and Uncle H. Could just share and laugh the whole day away really hey.. just always a wonderful time. Love you both(and Butchie) so so much... Love, me=)

December is the kind of month which makes me want to curl up in my bed and just do nothing. Yeah, there are things to do in the office, but it takes an extra effort to get things done. We always IM to each other, "zzz" or "i want to sleep". Hur hur... funny. I always look forward to lunch because it means time to joke around and relax. Tried out my goggles at the pool the other day. Gets some time getting used to it, adjust the head bands. Quite okay since my eye sockets don't feel like it is sore with all that intense suction. Oh and guess what? I found my old goggles.

Oh well... Facebook is being such a pain and I can't seem to upload photos there. And LiveJournal only allows me to upload this pathetic photo. *sulks*



Feels great to be able to bike or swim when there is no crowd. Makes you appreciate mobility much more. Looking forward to more of such days!

Alrightys, just sent Mari to the airport. Oks girl, I love you plenty plenty and oh, stay away from those crowded ferries. ( as instructed by Daddy who is always appalled at those Pinnoy authorities for the lack of safety on those boats, and in his words, " NO LAW ONE THESE PEOPLE! NO LAW!!", haha)

And yes, no Sing if I wanna settle down but I dont know, it's not really my say afterall but if I can, can no Sing please??? It's mad, awfully cramped, stunted, disillusional, absolutely apathetic to the elderly, disabled and I could name you a 1001 things in a single night so yeah.. But I know its where the folks are and all BUT still. Oks oks, no buts.. HOWEVER, I dont know, convince me otherwise and I will comply and listen if need be..

OK, Lord You handle this..

should change the ringtone of my phone, it's getting annoyingly loud and especially when it goes off during a meeting with the SUP and you go OOOPS, sorry! or maybe it's my fault that i should have turned it to silent. And for some reason, gmail keeps prompting me that i have the wrong password and I've changed it umpteen times. Fishy pissy..


Anyways, I think academics have it good. they sit in their offices typing away on what they love in their area of research. And then, i think this is the best part of it, they have UNLIMITED supply or rather, unlimited subsciption to Newsweek, Time, Foreign Affairs, Spectator, The Economist, bla bla bla. Yeah, granted that makes up the bulk of their research but it saves heaps on magazine subsciption for me at least.. Oh wells, random but yes. Could sit in all day and read and read.. Better still, if they have unlimited supply to Madison and Shop Till You Drop. Haha.

Thank God so much for T&E. Especially E, and the times when she has just been this pillar of strength.. And the girls were saying we're going to make dinner and bake together.. And I said I know what I'll make!. Prima-Instant Paste anything. Mastered the art of following instructions on those brightly coloured packs and just well, puttting it all in a pot. You can't go wrong with that, unless you're colour-blind I think. Ha. But shall try making something from scratch, like curry.. Haha. That would be quite a riot I reckon =)

Okie dokes, the countdown begins to home and away from wacked-ups but coming back to good food and those I love. And oh golly! Mango just ate egg shells from the dustbin...

Thank you Lord=)

It was an unpleasant experience with the dog owner, someone who does not trust me. I hate people who is hesitant, inconsiderate, speculate and does not trust.

This is the story:

You people know how old people could be right, they love to say mean things but do not have any intention of doing it. Yes, so my grandma is one such person, I had the dog in the day and she was giving remarks like she would beat the dog if it barks. Since she said it when the owner was there, obviously the owner would be scared.

After my grandma passed such remarks, the owner felt so and wanted the dog back immediately, mind you it was 11 plus at night and I had a long day at work. So them being inconsiderate, they made such a big fuss about wanting the dog back that very night. I would be pissed right, in the first place i tried explaining to them that the dog is fine and could stay for a night and if they really wanted the dog back they could do it the next day (WHEN EVERYONE FELT BETTER!!). Them they started saying lots of stupid things like I stuffed the dog underneath the sofa when the dog went in herself~!! SERIOUSLY, what is the point of studying in Uni when you cannot even show that you do not even posses a simple skill of description. Next, they also say that I have a uncle who lives with me who beats up dog!! MAY I KNOW SINCE WHEN DO I LIVE WITH SUCH AN UNCLE! What's next they are going to say I slap the dog when she did not do anything.

If I am not a dog lover I would not even ask for the dog when you offered... I really hope the dog is in "better" hands. I detest such ill mannered people!!

Phew, I am feeling much better now.


On a lighter note, I have decided my next step in life!

``Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with." - The dad from JUNO.

The weekend is finally here. And that meant outdoor time for Dorkie!

Woke up this morning and the weather was somewhat brilliant. It was sunny and windy. But I just didn't like the heat that welcomed me as I woke up. Anyway, don't take things for granted because as I was packing my bag for bike-swim-bike, I realised I couldn't find my goggles! I was quite irritated with myself because I was quite sure it was somewhere around my desk. Bet my mother would be snickering away since she always reminds me to keep my desk tidy. Fingers are crossed that it isn't lost. If not, I need to get a new pair. *sulks* I also realised it has been a month since I went swimming.

The bike was already pumped up and I felt it was such a waste to let her sit there. Then I decided to go for a biking trip. To where? I had no idea. I just wanted to get out of the house first.

At first I decided to head down to Punggol from my house. Then I realised it would not be thrilling much because I already knew how to head there. Finally, I settled on just heading straight instead of turning left. I didn't know where the straight road would take me. As I went on, it was Tampines Road. I haven't been on this road before, and boy, was it a long and straight road. If I had a road bike, this would have been perfect.

It was cool, the wind blowing in my face and the sky was oh-so-blue. The whole stretch seemed to be protected area. Urgh, I can't upload the pics on Facebook.



All in all, it was great seeing Singapore from a different angle. Now I feel like getting a road bike.

Haha.. I looked at my diary, and I realised it has been 7 years since my first blog entry. Ooh hoo! Time does fly.

Happy 7th Anniversary!

Why do I think of you?

because i never did after all =)

All that I am, all I shall be
Lord You give it to me

I give it back to You

Ephe 6: 17 : And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.


Hey old guards, brace ourselves. Let's pray hearts will be moved. Sometimes I really wish you all could see and hear from where I am now. But I'm glad we are all praying and upholding one another in prayer, no matter where we are, across three continents..

And no matter what, we will do this in love and accountability. We pray we will not be like those who scoff and mock because we know. Let Him lead us and let us pray we will exercise brain knowledge and our heart at the same time. Toughie! But He knows..



Pondering thought:

Starting right and growing strong in faith is a choice. And most of all, I wouldnt want rubbish to forfeit the blessings I have now in my life =) Do not want to be premature and say certain things are God's will but maybe I will be able to tell you in His time =) Whoopedooo!

( to u <3 )
