27th March

CF today!!! Not friday cause everyone would be busy with Fun-O-Rama prep. It was basically the standard CF with worship and a short devotions.. Just that it was done.. in a classroom! How interesting. The usual, CF was great ^^

Gabriel joined us somewhere around dinner after what seemed like a super tiring day for him.. And I unofficially became his tutor o.O Well, after some chem and bio stuff (I refused to help with Econs =D duh), we went home together in the MRT. Did some catching up with him and he told me all about His JC life and some other interesting stuff

In short, it's yet another testimony showing how God can work =) After such complications regarding application and appeals, God finally put him in CJC and I believe that's where He will grow the most.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

You know, it can be so exasperating how sometimes everything just seems to go wrong for us... We don't get to stay in the place we want to or we have to stay in the place we don't want to. We tend to grumble and such until we really think about our options and it's so amazing how everything is settled when all is left in God's hands. I've learnt this lesson and I'm still learning, but God continues to show me how He works in so many different ways every other day =)

Fun-O-Rama!

The moment I stepped into school, all I saw was people running all over the place.. what a sight. The bouncy castle was sitting at the grass patch, all ready to be inflated. The stalls were being set up little by little. The class popiah stall... didn't really take a look at it. Only saw the popiah skins being prepared then ran off again to the bouncy castle.. only to buy Dettol with JJ coz Mr KSL said parents won't let their children into the bouncy castle which LOOKED really dirty.. They will if they smell the dettol though..! (???)

Sharyl smsed me when I was still with JJ and Holland V asking me to change... The result? When I did, half the people I knew, myself included couldn't recognize me O.O Geez. The wig was hot. seriously.

I tell you, kids have too much energy... too much!! Sharyl, Joanne, Suzanne, Yihui, Vincent and whoever went into the bouncy castle as moderators or safety officers whichever will know for a fact that they last at least 5 times the amount of time you do... maybe 10. It was fun though, even though I hardly had the energy to bounce around..

Most of my day was spent at the bouncy castle, letting in kids (both big and small), handling parents who requested for more time or complained about the fee, babysitting children who were "dumped" by their parents, jumping around with the kids, pulling them down when they climbed up >_> It was an experience, and a really fun one too

It rained somewhere around 3 and apparently "the umbrellas were going like hot cakes then" quoted from Mrs Chan. At least I finally had a chance to walk around the funfair! Great, I had 3 hours to spend 50 bucks and I didn't know what there was to get.. Kenneth and Petrina sort of gave me a hand in spending them though hahaha

Ok, so let's see, out of the remaining 20 bucks.. a 5 dollar popiah from my class, a 4 dollar ripoff oreo milkshake, a jelly from my class too for a dollar, 2 dollars to the PAT for some kueh, another 2 dollars to a class for some other powdery kueh =s, 2 dollars for an icecream to Helsa's class (which was slashed to a dollar 5 minutes later..!) and I don't know where the last 4 dollars went...

Not a single game played! So all I did during this funfair was man the games stall and eat. Oh, and went to watch Bobby perform too! Yeah, it seems rather dull but hey I enjoyed myself! Of course, came the cleaning up which nobody wants to do. But it had to be done!

The day ended, everyone was tired, but everyone was happy =)

31st March

Today.. in particular, Chapel.

If I'm not wrong, the band leading worship today was from Faith Methodist Church. Somehow the elec guitar made its way up on stage again together with some rather unique drums..

I don't have much to say about Chapel today, except for one thing. When the worship leader told the college to do whatever they wanted, sit or stand, anything, in any way that they could worship best in, HALF THE COLLEGE REMAINED STANDING. I would assume that EVERYONE who stood are people who wished to seek God. Of course, not forgetting the other Christians who went to sit and pray!! It was beautiful. When the band put a temporary stop to the music and singing in between a song, the distinct voices of the college shouting God's praise were echoing through the hall and the LT. I can't think of a more suitable word. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

If approximately 1000 people could already create this effect, what more Aunt Ross' vision of 2000 people kneeling in God's presence? How much more beautiful would it be? I pray that this time will come soon enough...

"Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? Show us Your steadfast love, oh LORD and grant us Your salvation" - Psalm 85: 6-7

Ahhhh....

Yikes.. I just accidentally deleted all 50 bible verses which I keyed in over the pass few weeks =\ quick somebody tell me if there's a rollback function on blogspot..!!

And school is starting soon!! I dunwanna do all the homework/tests etc. again zzz... I want more hols =x

Friday the 7th.

Don't know what to title this blog cause so much just happened today... I would have written this post in an emo mood but then I just had a really fun and interesting DotA game with Dill and Ian which really brightened up my whole day and was a good way to end it =) thanks guys! Well anyway, the lineup of events today...

First chem SPA which was quite screwed but thanks Mr H! hahaha
Next just went with Vincent to the hostel to do GP essay... which obviously wasn't finished.
Then went back to school to collect A level results for Chinese...

That's when the eventful day really started... At first I didn't even dare to get my results.. as I was half expecting to see a smiley face without the eyes (as I have been describing to my friends) AKA a U =) Well, eventually I did and wow surprise! I did see one haha! I have to admit.. Even though I knew my Chinese just totally sucks, I kinda expected a U and I was supposedly prepared to get one, I was indeed quite upset and quite disappointed.

I don't really know what happened after that, I kinda just blanked out... never even thought I would be that disappointed over a U. But one part I do remember is that Dillon, Eleanor and Yihui were all part of the uhhh... the U club? haha that's it man. The mark of a true blue ACSian ^^ ok fine and a... MGnian whatever =x

Well, I always thought I could accept things as they come, thought that I could always look on the bright side of things no matter what happens.. I was proved wrong today. A simple expected U actually caused me so much disappointment and I just thought everything around was just... nothing.

Went to emo at sky garden... looked down to the people around AC... went to seek God for a moment and... do the utterly horrendousgusting horrigible GP essay.

Ok so at around 4.45 I handed it in to the STI and went for CF.. the J3s were there! ! . ! . . . ... They weren't exactly super happy. From what I know or at least felt, they didn't really get he grades they wanted or expected. Kind of like my situation earlier today but then I heard DWong tell some other J3: Well, I'ld say I'm happy with what God gave me. Perhaps, God knows perfectly well what He's doing =)

Today's CF was supposed to be the 40 DOC but Isaac decided to change it to a session of extended worship. Exactly what I needed at that point in time. It could be quite clearly seen that the other J2s and J3s needed that time of seeking God too.

Worship was wonderful. It was quite some time ago that I shed tears before the LORD. Today, tears began falling for some reason and I just didn't know why. But on reflecting, I guess I knew that I haven't been seeking God at all. I seemd to have fallen away again and I didn't really do anything about it. The past week of term exams were simply just a period which sapped all my time and I just felt so... depressed in a way. Nothing seemed to be going right. The GP paper wasn't too fantastic, the maths paper was flunked for sure, econs was never good, chem only told me I didn't study properly and Bio wasn't too easy either. An overdue GP essay wasn't helping at all. Somehow I felt I was totally lost and when I did seek God, I didn't really spend much time. As always, worship ministered to me and today it surely did once again.

Isaac came up shortly to me and Dill telling us to pray for the people who responded to his altar call... Personally I wasn't really prepared to do so. I mean, how could I pray for others when I myself need prayer? Well, God led me in the right direction. A short prayer to Him and I went ahead praying for the others.

I love Christian Fellowship =) It just seems to be THE place where I can just lay down all my burdens before the throne of God and step into His presence feeling so carefree and all ready to praise Him.

Today was very meaningful to me...

First, it signifies the END OF EXAMS AND THE START OF HOLS :D :D
But more importantly, I came back into God's loving arms today and I can now add the two eyes to my Chinese grade =') Thanks LORD.
