He is Faithful!

Thk God for a really good day today!

Firstly, sister Yeen Fun delivered a very powerful and timely message. Basically she was addressing the region and this has been in my heart for the longest time...especially recently, so this word really spoke to me and caused me to do some evaluation!
Some take-home points:
1. All can experience the outpouring but not all are changed by it. In simpler terms, all can feel goosebumps during a service but the change happens when u make that decision.
2. Don't be an analyst who looks from the outside and miss out being part of the experience. 
3. Spiritual contentment is contagious. Don't settle! Stir those deposits God has put in you!
4. God honours desire! He will not let you down when u hunger for Him. Eph 3:20 - how much are you letting the holy spirit work in you?
5. When u find you don't have the desire, ask God to give you the capacity to be hungry
6. Mark 6:51-52 is a reminder that when storms hit you, don't let your heart be hardened and numb but rmbr the miracles God has done for you and His greatness.

I just wanna share that there is abundant joy that comes from God which is FREE FOR ALL and FREE FLOWING!

Another good thing that happened was I felt a difference during regional ministry meeting. Now it's cosier so I'm really glad! We are gonna sing a new song "Jesus, Be the Center - Israel Houghton" and it's an AMAZING song! Can't wait to do it on Sunday!

Thirdly, I finally collected my spectacles! My old frame which I have not changed for 7 years broke. Just as well, the colour was black so it made my eyebrows look so stark. >=S No more tired eyes! HAHA!

Lastly, R7/8 organised a sweet farewell for Nic, Gladys and Jo.Wong. They are going for missions to Chiang Mai and Liberia! I nv get tired of listening to the testimonies they hv of each other! And thr's always guitar and singing! <3 Hahaha! Honestly I was very very tempted to give a lil speech too but I know I wouldn't be able to say the words in my heart... I really love them and I love R7/8 - a region with exemplary leaders and youths who really love the Lord, love their leaders and love each other! ^^

So this is how my Sunday went by! Would really love to fast-forward to Easter and fast-forward once more to Thailand! =P

Geography Fieldstudies (FS) 2012

I............AM.....................GOING................................TO..................................................

THAILAND!!!!!!

Made a deposit ytdy! Thk you, Dad and Mom! Haven't had any briefing yet so I can't give any more infor than I'll be gone from May 11 - Jun 16, going to BKK and North Western Thailand so I MAY bump into Nic and Gladys in Chiang Mai!! Woot WOOOOT!

Now, to suppress the excitement and concentrate on meeting deadlines... bleah.

Sound Bites - The Church (VFC Corporate Worship Training)

As you can see, I'm on an audio-uploading rampage! Here's the 3rd one for today! I secretly recorded this during Corporate Worship Training and it's really good cuz it helps me remember my parts and I can learn the tenor parts on my own. You will get to hear Elvin the boss teaching us our parts for 'The Church' by Elevation Worship. We are really blessed to have such a talented person in ministry!

Sound Bites - Everlasting God/Strength Will Rise

So my singing's not fantastic but I really enjoy harmonizing! My recording devices are really amateur (iPhone and Laptop internal mic) and I don't do editing (wish I had a programme to edit tho) but this is just my way of practicing parts and hearing myself to make sure I don't break mirrors when I sing.

Everlasting God (Strength will rise)

Sound Bites - Awesome In This Place

My sis composed this song some 10 years or more ago. She used to teach me her songs so I could do parts with her. We did a tonne of silly recordings as well and ur jaw would drop if u listened to them! =D
The timing's quite off for some parts, my bad!
Here are the Chorus and Bridge parts only.

Going to The Land of 1000 Smiles again!

U can call me... The Occasional Blogger. Something like the occasional whatsapper, facebooker and twitterer twit twitter that I'm infamously known for. At least I'm replying smses more now! *pats self on the back* :p

I am really, REALLLYY hoping I get a slot for my geog fieldtrip to Thailand this May/June!!! More than just covering modular credits and a new experience, I believe this trip could be a turning point for me in uni n a milestone in my life.

2012 has been such a struggle! Yes, I'm surrounded by many who care for me but I've nv felt so lonely in certain aspects! If it was just sch-related, I think I could still deal with it.. But adding church-related things just makes me go crazy! A break would do this little head of mine some good! Of cuz not a break frm God la!! Pls scold me if I ever make such a decision! Just a break frm so much thinking. But anyhow, I thk God for such a loving family! Mom immediately said I should jump at any overseas opportunity and not hesitate. I wanted to check w my dad but she just asked me to register first. 先斩后奏 (xian zhan hou zhou)... Meaning act first, report later. Haha! She rocks, doesn't she?

6 weeks overseas... Praying it will be a fruitful one in several aspects!

VeggieTales

VeggieTales is one of the wittiest cartoons I've seen and my first time watching it is at the age of...21. Totally embarrassing! Hannah was the one who introduced it to me. And it was a shocker when one of my lecturers actually let us watch a vid during lecture! What a way to illustrate lecture points! Hahaha! It gets cooler cuz it's a Christian cartoon!! My favourite part has gotta be the 'silly song' section! Here's one I especially like!!

Lyrics:
we are the pirates who don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything

well I've never been to Greenland
and I've never been to Denver
and I've never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
and I've never been to Moscow
and I've never been to Tampa
and I've never been to Boston in the fall

cuz we're the pirates who don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything

and I've never hoist the main sail
and I've never swabbed the poop deck
and I've never veered the starboard, cause I've never sailed at all
and I've never walked the gang plank
and I've never owned that parrot.
and I've never been to Boston in the fall

cuz we're the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything

well I've never plucked a rooster
and I am not too good at ping-pong
and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
and I've never kissed a chipmunk,
and I've never gotten head lice
and I have never been to Boston in the fall

[Dialogue]

and I've never licked a spark-plug
and I've never sniffed a stink bug
and I've never painted Daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings
and I've never been to Boston in the fall

Caffeine Effect

I should not have taken coffee! My itchy mouth... decided to try an ice blended after laying off coffee for a few months and...I started feeling all gilly-willy again. Thkfully tea seldom has the same effect and I prefer tea! =D

Friends I Miss MUCHLY

I MISS MY POLY FRIENDS SOOOO MUCH!!! Christmas reminds me of them! ^^

Claudy, Carmmy, Joeline, Marc, William, Sam, Ben, Aaron, YS, Clement, Clarene, Carissa, Vanny, Derek, Ivan.

I miss Jo and Stef too!! =( Gonna bunk in w Stef in BKK real soon tho, YAY!!

After a decade of long hair...

There are some risks I love taking - doing new activities (breaking into construction sites, diving...), trying new food (the weirder it is, the more I'll wanna try), wearing something drastically different frm my usual once in awhile. Quite adventurous right! Heh! Many times, I regret my decisions. But THIS TIME, I'm quite satisfied! *BIG GRIN* About 2 weeks ago, I chopped my long hair after a sudden decision. Don't know what came over me cuz I had 2 bad short-hair experiences but I went ahead still.

So without further ado, pictures!! :D
