today is friday
another week almost gone
im here wondering what is my purpose here in uni
is there more to life than
going for classes
head home
do homework
go out for meals
hang out at the mamak
sleep
study a little once in a while

i was browsing through other people's blogs
it brought back memories
of how we were last time
how we grew up together
all the conflicts we faced
how we settled it
how our friendship developed and grew even stronger from there
but people change
its only a matter of how much or how little
change is not necessarily bad
it can be good also
maturity
such a big word
many hard feelings poured out through words
releasing stress through writing
im not sure where i stood last time in that friendship
i remember being a part of it
but i dont remember me being a significant part of it
no hard feelings on my side la
its just that
i dont remember going through what was said
fading memories of having to witness it happen
but i wasnt in it to taste the bitter ness and the sweetness of it
was this how my teenage life used to be?
i dont remember

argh!!!

argh!!!
i dont know what to say
im so boggled up inside
what am i doing?
tearing up someone slowly?
argh!!!!!!!
i dont mean to
im so sorry
i really am
would it be better if we never met?
im confused
am i running away from something?
am i hiding what im suppose to feel?
am i fearful of admitting to what im feeling?
is it even worth it?
for me ?
go all out for me?
im just another girl
nothing extraordinary about me
why go through all the trouble, pain and suffering?
i cant bear to see him torture himself
he is also god's creation
argh!!!!
i dont know what to say
can i just go up to him and hug him and say
its ok
god will take care of you
nah
it would probably hurt him more to see me
im sorry for putting him in this position
leody knows how much tears came out from his eyes
how many prayers he said
and i know too
im speechless
its not that i dont care for him
i do
but not as much as what he wants?
not now anyway
my heart feels heavy
very heavy
been rather quiet these few days
dont know what to say also
feel like hugging a person and not say anything

love

father
teach me to love
teach me the meaning to love
to be passionate about people you've placed in my heart
to care and be concern about people that are around me
to appreciate the bond and fellowship in christ
to know the true meaning of love
teach me o lord
in jesus name
amen

love is patient
love is kind
it does not envy
it does not boast
it is n0t proud
it is not rude
it is not self seeking
it is not easily angered
love keeps no records of wrong
love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth
it always protects
always trusts
always hopes
always perseveres
love never fails

1 cor 13:4-8

comfort
trust
hope
love

all positive remarks
sometimes i can be so pessimistic
pulling people down all the time
comfort, trust, hope and love is what im looking for
maybe i do have it already
what more am i seeking?
what more am i wanting?

fear

im facing with a lot of fear now
dont really know why
six sense
or its the holy spirit talking to me
1st fear
fear of stepping in something that im not even suppose to be in
im not sure
the more i step in
the deeper i get
2nd fear
fear of not knowing what is going to happen in the future
this is the total opposite of fear no 1
fear no 2 is more of
knowing that im in the right thing
and i dont really know what to expect
its something good
a good fear? is there such a thing?

im not sure how am i suppose to feel now
im all jumbled up inside
dont know what to say
just feel like going up to a person and hug that person
not say anything
words are all tied up inside

sometimes i wish time would stop there right there at that moment
and i could just stay there
no fear
peace and
feel so protected
so comforted
can time stop?

sadly i dont think so
and after that moment
i dont know what will happen
do i fear losing that moment?
its part of my memory now
will it stay?

im back here in sg long
yesterday was fun

well
i do have a certain expectations of others of me to be met
what to do
beannie has a friend name leody now
i will really miss everyone there
the life style there
it is back to the hectic crazy life
i woke up todaysuddenly realising that
i need to study
but there are so many other things more to do
how am i to survive?
the more hectic my life gets
the more thankful i am
because i know
i cant do all this by my own strength
but rather
my god is here for me
im grateful

expectations

living up to expectations are never easy
especially when people know your family members
life here in uni
its fun
but i realise that there is so many things to do
so many things that im suppose to do
or rather what people expect me to do

the more i go on here
the more i realise my weakness
and i cant live on without God

many impressions to create and impress upon people
once the first impression is bad
its bad
but somehow
it doesnt seem to matter that much to me
although many seniors has been telling me that
first im pression is the most important thing
in trying to make yourself known

for me
i dont want the popularity
i just want to be me
maybe thats why
i dont really bother about what people think about it
ignorance you can call it
dont want to pressure myself too much
as long as i've done my best
its enough
to please God
and i suppose thats the most important thing for me
now and in the future

passion

give me one pure and holy passion
give me one magnificent obsession
give me one glorious ambition for my life
to know and follow hard after you

to know and follow hard after you
to grow as your disciple in your truth
this world is empty pale and poor
compared to knowing you my lord
lead me on and i will run after you
lead me on and i will run after you

i need one passion
stirring of my spirit
to know and decide what i want to do in uni
to know where my calling is
i cannot take settling in as an excuse to slack and not do anything
pray harder
maturing?
i feel proud of people around me
but if people around me are maturing
am i suppose to mature even more too?

i see them going through what i went through some years ago
and im proud for the fact that no matter what they are going through
they are holding on to GOd
to me, as long as God is in control
everything will go on as planned
the road may be tough
but strength and comfort comes from Him

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Acts of Service
with a secondary love language being
Quality Time.

Complete set of results

Acts of Service: 10
Quality Time: 9
Receiving Gifts: 4
Words of Affirmation: 4
Physical Touch: 3


Information

went for my first cf here in uni..
they had holy communion
reminded me of the holy communion that we had back then in college
and the dispute among the committee members that we shouldnt be doing it in cf
cf here in uni
its less complicated
denominations doesnt seem to be a problem
some pray in tongues
some lift hands during worship
some dont lift their hands
some pray out loud
some pray in the heart
but everyone is united
because we are serving one God
one purpose one believe
one saviour

then after holy communion, there was sharing by ms angelina and ms esther

ms angelina touched on relationships
one thing that stood out to me :
when god gives, he doesnt give the second best
he always gives the best
but you have to wait

thats what i have been doing
im looking forward to that day
when i will receive my reward
for waiting and
the assurance from god that we will serve him together

then after that ms esther shared about priorities

it surprised me a little of how in detailed she had to share about setting our priorities right
to put GOd in the middle of everything we do
the illustration that she gave
draw a circle imagine it is a wagon wheel
and in the middle of that circle draw a smaller circle
that is the hub of the circle which represents God
there are many spokes linking the hub to the circle
and each individual compartments are to be filled with whats in our lifes
the moral of the story
doesnt matter what is in your life
but without God in the middle it wouldnt work
like how a wheel without a hub will not move

it was a good reminder of my priorities
what i have decided to put first in my life
to remember and hold on to what i've said
god, family, friends, studies....etc..

uni life

im here in sg long
staying in flora green, a condo opposite the uni
the uni is just a 8 stories building, totally different from tar college...howi miss the campus life there
my timetable is interesting
there is a morning slot and an afternoon slot for the students here, and my slot falls on the afternoon so my classes are mostly from 12 noon to 8 pm. its not that bad, considering on wed i only have one lecture from 6 to 8 pm
lessons so far has been ok.... the work load is more than tar college... most of the lecturers here do stick with the unit plan of teaching one chapter a week, so now in the second week, we are already at the 2nd chapter... loads to read up
social life here...
im joining sis chai hong's cg on monday nights...i find it interesting because it is more to application of what we already know from the bible... applying the head knowledge that we have into practical use...
its a different approach from what i've been taught since young, especially the challenge that she throws us at the end of every session... sis chai hong doesnt say what exactly we are suppose to do, but there is the challenge and we have the free hand i would say to carry out what we have in mind... its more of discipleship
life here is busy...
im the rep for marketing year1 semester1
many more things to learn
how to handle conflicts if it does appear
how to please people
how to manage my time properly with so many responsibilites
how to pass messages around accurately
one thing im sure
god put me through what i went through in my life
to teach me how to cope with life in the future
and what he is going to teach me here when im in uni
i will accept it with an open heart
im facing a different aspect of surrendering
its hard to be put in words
tapping in to how he feels
and i can feel the hurt and distress?
i hit right there at the spot where the dirt is
the same spot where he has been trying to ignore
until i brought it up right in his face
ouch
surrender
its one big huge word
brought back memories
that comes along with tears and brokenness
but i know that the reward is there waiting
whatever it may be
im learning and still learning
sometimes the hard way
that God has a plan for me
and i dont want to sway or walk away from the best plans that He has for me
but sometimes i still fail
sometimes i realise it
sometimes i have to think back and meditate on what i've did to realise that i've failed
im grateful that God is a GOd of second and third chances

trust

i realise i have a problem with trusting people
at least what people say and tell me
so many things that should sound so beautiful and loving
words that should give assurance
but yet
i find it so hard to trust and believe and take what the words means
why>
is it because of all the hipocracy happening around
or is it because of all the stories that i've heard people spreading around
or is it just because i've trusted something i thought would be what it suppose to be
but it just never turn out the way it is
and it left so much hurt and bitterness in me?
i want to trust
i dont want to doubt
is it just a form of self defense
a big layer of ignorance so that i wouldnt need to face the consequences?

as i sleep
i thank god for making the day come to an end
for all the disappointments to disappear in my dreams
praying that tomorrow everything will be better

a new day
a whole new beginning
the same sun, the same earth
but there is hope and joy in God


yesterday was...
down
i was rather disappointed
with people that i thought were the ones i could hold on to
people that i thought would be the ones to support me when everyone is against me
nope, i was wrong

learning really hard to forgive and accept people that i love
its not easy
i know no body is perfect
but what am i to do when i think that some actions are way overboard
confront?
but im suppose to respect as well
sensitive issue

but oh well
today is a whole new day
a new beginning
look up to God
hard but
ya, i realise that God is the only person i can go to to really cry my heart out
have been crying a lot lately
but ya, im comforted when i go to Him

Updates about my life…

Exams ended!!! Thank God im still surviving… results will be out this coming Wednesday, I assume that to be the pass or fail list…the actual results? I might just have to wait for the college to send it to my house, that would take some another 2 weeks…

I went back to college last week from Monday evening till Sunday…. Ber cam ching with all my college mates….i am so going to miss all of them…

Monday :
Took the train back around 4+, met up with anna for dinner at the mamak…. Talked a lot….haha… me and anna and all interesting stories…. About our past, present and future….
I helped anna to pack..haha..she has got so many things…so many boxes… went to JR at night…. Talked a lot again…. [I want to you that I will wait]

Tuesday :
Had prayer meeting in JR early in the morning…. Last prayer meet for me… I wont be there anymore..we prayed for the Global Day of Prayer (4th June) and ya, the normal stuff…CF, CG, studies (loren, reg, dih haw still had papers),lecturers and any other prayer request… didn’t cook breakfast after that…too rushed..so we had western food from the stall…was nice also…

Wednesday :
I went to the national museum with anna!!! Spend the whole day there….haha… I think we went around 10 and came back at 3+…not bad…slept after that… and at night I ate at mali’s with Rebecca, Solomon and dih haw.
Went to Carrefour after that…. Coz solo had to buy stuff for camp Cameron…

Thursday :
Went to the zoo!!! Haha, its expensive…. 10 bucks per ticket…. Me, anna, dih haw and rowen. Loren was still having a paper then…. The zoo is so full with memories…. Everything looks smaller now…. I thought elephants and zebras and giraffes were a lot bigger when I was younger
Some animals looks so tired and lifeless…maybe they are nocturnal animals…haha, lazy bums, hiding under the shade, the trees…
Was so exhausted after that, went back to the hostel to sleep…
Had wake up calls from rowen and dih haw, I think they must be really hungry because 2 people woke me up and asked me out for dinner… had dinner at the mamak… haha…all guys and one girl..was rather intimidating…
Went out to jusco with Rebecca after that….teman her to buy shoes and a bottle

Friday :
Planning camp!!! Started at 8am and ended at 11pm…. Ate up a lot of brain juice…. But it was fun la…haha

Saturday :
Planning camp day 2…started at 8am and ended around 1? Went to JR to eat lunch with regina and then slept there… so tired
Made egg sandwich for the party at night..tasted “wickedly good” according to rowen… maybe its because he helped make it too..haha
Barbeque was good…steamboat was good too…so much food and there was even ice cream for desert…had one whole big cup…sweet and nice
Went to JR after that to do up the job description for pre u cg coordinator…and it started raining….. waited till 2 am and ended up sleeping there in regina’s room…=)

Sunday :
Woke up at 6… went back to hostel to bath and wash up, walked back to JR, ji aun came to pick me and dih haw to church. Went to Setapak Gospel Center… need some brethren exposure…=)

Checked out from hostel on that day,. Anna helped me a lot..haha…last dinner with anna, loren, dih haw, Alvin
Went back home

Ending of my college life…interesting chapter of my life…learned a lot, experienced a lot, went through a lot, make many new close and dear friends that I will always cherish… stepped closer to God in many different ways, served God in many interesting and new ways too… I had fun, and im glad and thankful to God for putting me in TAR college, haha, although it took me 2 whole long weeks to get use to the idea at first… but no regrets…=)
All night prayer meet…
Was good
Interesting
Had me thinking a lot
Especially the missions and meeting with jesus stations
Closeness with God
