with two days left before school begins-
i must say, i have partied in true style!
tres invigorating.

hahahahs and today is the first day i have
made a batchful of oven-baked chicken nuggets,
crabsticks with pancakes wraps,
egg-mayo sandwiches with Team Cooks! ^^
(Hannah, Haoyue and Darren!)
the first time i have plunged into the sea in sentosa
the first time i have gone half-crazy splashing and
throwing sand-balls at people (uber fun hahahs!)
the first time i had a impromtu picnic on siloso beach
the first time i was covered in sand lying on my stomach
and when it was raining in droplets the size of bullets-
i could continue walking in the rain and
i could completely not care! hahahas its really cool!
i could go on and on mans-
but i realized that i am thankful for the experiences i had
every single one-
positive and negative
and thank You Lord for being with me every single moment,
even if i couldn feel You all the time.

heres to a more purposeful Life-
with increasing wisdom, stature, in favor with God and men.

hahahahhas!~ i cant wait!!
the Beginning of Leadership;
wonder what will be in store for me in the future!

I always wondered if i could ever be a leader =)

oh you like that? you like that??
POWBAMM!BANGBANGBANGG!!!
punchesandflying KICKS-
optimistic-ness is making me HIGH hahahahs!
COME ON!!!

and so a new year begins in year 2008.

reflecting back at this past 2007-
i think its safe to say that i have changed.

just how and to what extent, only God will know for sure.

looking forward into the future,
it feels like im staring at a new fresh blank sheet of paper.

another chapter of my life safe and held in (preferably)
sweet memories, while a new one soon begins.

what can i say of this past year?

i really must Thank Him,
for every experience and person i ve met-
every obstacle and celebration;
be it every test and its failure or triumph
be it every singular revelation or moment;
spent alone or with friends(old and new ^^)-
secular and spiritual-
thats changed me as a better person and
thats brought me further into my walk with God.

Thank you everyone, and Thank You Lord. =)

know that my Biggest fear right now should not be the
stress and agony of facing the looming onslaught of
my A Levels, but really that if i should ever lose faith

that i would be nothingagain.

can i say that in spite of the daily morning squabbles
and occasional nag over incomplete/ undone housechores
that mann-
I LOVE MY PARENTS!!! XD

heh specially cuz its just me on my lonesome
since both my sisters are out battling in npcc squad training;
and facing the
relentless onslaught and stress of Adam Khoo teachings
so that i am uber pampered by my mum and dad right now! ^^

letsee.

went shopping with my mum at Robinsons (so claustrophobhic!)
and, at age 17,
i have my first pair of stylish, classic gray-sheened
business-suit pants!! hahahs!
and at the low, low cost of only $23!!
and then lounging in starbucks watching passerbys-
while really chomping on
soyabean n peanut mee jiang kueh (sogood) =)

then went jogging with me dad-
(i daresay no man at my dads age can
be half as competent as he is)
and then headed to the librarys where he insisted
on helping me search for calculus textbooks to improve
my integration!
and then watched two hours of Click, the movie!
(we rented it)- this rates high on my movie score;
so please watch if you lack the ability to appreciate the good
things you have in your life-(and of course that doesnt mean YoU)
hahahs!
ihavesuchanicredible life, its incredible! ^^

dear Lord thank You for such an awesome life;
a great family, both blood and spiritual =)

To whom much has been given, much is expected of.
mm.

i m gonna live up to this. =)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!! XD

mm feeling emo just listening to jay chou's Secret piano recital
resorted to nua-ing in front of youtube
half staring at the battle of the piano melodrama between
the guy with chunky square earrings and jay chou.

its beautiful. ^^

i realise that i really want to achieve so many things.
but i rarely seem to be able to get even half of the results.

disappointing, but; one step at a time!
need a plan,
need greater will power,
need God.

wait! in opposite order. =)

gotta seek the kingdom of God first. ^^

oh my goodness-

as if it wasnt enough to have an immense near 800 strong crowd;

the praise and worship with Pastor Lia AND Joanne! (angelschorus)

or Selwyn's academic excellence ( I know the guy! XD)
who broke the record for a ThreePointN-Level result-
the best ever in TEN YEARS! 0.o God works wonders!

and Christian's AMAZING testimony;
(i never knew he was a Swiss National Player Judo Champion!!)

AND Pastor How's power-packed message;
the beginning message of the 9 types of Love!

this was especially cool cuz we all learnt alot from this!

1. People have different levels and standards of Love.
2. People often place a Value on others.
3. People often love others for their extrinsic value.
4. God's level of Love? (willing to send His only Son to die for our sins!)
which is like, woah!
to God, everyone is Valuable, no matter what he/she might be like.
5. Loving is Giving. (half-love or stingy love is not love friends)
6. The more you seek love, the more you cant get it.
yet the more you give it, the more you have! cool right? =D

and of course a highlight was walking back with Joyce, where
i met my Primary school friend Priscilla! (she remembers me!)
apparently, i *ahems* look just the same.

which can be a good thing! XD
and shes in Zone C2! aiyiyi- God is Great!
hoping to catch up with her soon! XD

then went for me family dinner, and i gotta say,
my grandmother makes the best crispy batter-fried prawns
i have EVER eaten in my life.
and everything else she cooks makes
the best restaurant cuisine look like...mymostamateurattempt
at fried rice.

which can be pretty pathetic. (tip:dont use leafy veggies.)

and gosh i love my cousins XD
they re so cute!! and i always spoil them silly. ^^
tsk. hahahahs

Thank You Lord for such a wonderful life XD
pray that as i grow to love You and others at a whole
new level, the most important thing in my life should
and will always be my walk with You, no matter what
happens or what anyone else says. =)

life is AWESOME.
hahahas
i LOVE my LIFEE!! ^^

oh this is too good and i cant stand it!

i dont care what trials and tribulations i
might face in the next few minutes, hours or even days;

but while i can,
and while i will-
i shalt let ye be glorified O Saviour,
and
THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS!!

life has been so very busy these last few days of 2007!
top of the list is that i m now under Chew Theng in Zone B4!
alrights! XD
its also very exciting cuz i realise i ve been moved into
this new group with Sylvia and Naomi!!
thisisquitearevelationfromGod because i believe they
are some of the rising leaders and movers-and-shakers of B4!

thismustbeasignforme to RISE UP and BREAKTHROUGH as well!
hahahas yeaa and that means no more narrow or small-minded
thinking; but HUGE INSURMOUNTABLE GODLINESS!!

next is that there are now only Two MOrre DaYys to
CHRISTMAS SERVICE!!
hahahas my friends and my sisters must come!! XD
oh and hopefully there is a chance that i can finish my
Math homework, study for the all-syllabus econs test
on the first week
of school; AND revise my entire
CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY JONE work-
wait- and also get the TIDE OF THE WAVES piano sonata piece
right; and also i simply MUST not fail in my chromatic scales!
yes, plus my first Livefeed training soon, and bookstore meetings!
also to fininsh up all my precious books XD

oh and i simply have to talk about yesterday!
CCA training was fun; i think i ve improved my Chinese
by leaps and bounds XD aand i also pray that i will
not hear a single racist remark again, because if i do;
there will be grave consequences! *determined look*

and then it was a night out with Iris, YiHui and Revethi!
goodness it was so cool cuz besides the fact that those
three have grown so beautiful; yea my ten-year old bob cut
can be a blessing and a curse =) it was touching and endearing
touching to see that we can still keep in touch since our Os,
and endearing that each time i see them again, i feel that
they ve grown so much in the little ways,
including in our friendship ^^

Thank You Jesus- heres to my becoming the next
Jim Elliot! he rocks man! My New (not idol) but role model!!
oh gotta pass D the recipe for chocolate chip cookies now-

whenwilliseeYouagain? ^^

hahahas hey ah'm
finally back from TAIWANN!! =D
manns am completely exhausted from the uber
hectic schedule; but it was a really
amazing experience! Am glad cuz i really bonded with
my sisters and family throughout the trip-
(especially me little sis! ^^ hohos)

letsee; heres me summary of the entire trip!
Taiwan is a country rich and vibrant in culture,
from preserving and carving a brand name for some of
its national treasures; the Lingzhi Fungi, powdered
deer foetus, Royal Bee Jelly and SK I
from tracing back to their first aboriginal roots,
in history- from 50 years spent under the
Japanese rule politics, economically-
with a large part spent on agriculture and as a new
cosmoplitan trading hub and capitalistic society-
and also in Food-
which was an entirely new and refreshing experience! =D
oh my goodness, with just a few to name-
ranging from chou(stinky) tofu, freshly deep-fried and
covered in a spicy chilli-and-cabbage topping
to blended bittergourd bubble tea; all of which taste GOOOD ^^

loved the hotels we stayed in hahahas- XD
the best one?
think your OWN PRIVATE JAPANESE SPA
in your personal hotel room!! ^^
its about the size of Half a room!
then think three oversized fluffy soft
beds and a plasma TV with 55 channels with HBO, Star Movies
Travel and Living and Disney Channels-
and thats about as good as The Good Life gets! XD

It was so cool cuz QT meant praying out loud with my sisters
(well at least with my sisters were listening)
and also got many strange revelational experiences-
including a feng shui reading and a 'Christian' EV
of course it was pretty crazy.
got to go now- aiyiyi

and they caught her eye in mid-glance-
just as she was enthusiastically gesturing
towards the homely white shop
famous for their heavenly flaky puff-pastry
egg tarts, homemade with a rich custard filling-
its presence standing out prominently from its
brightly coloured neighbours,
where the throngs of crowds circled eagerly
around the kaleidoscope of attractive displays.

both parties were momentarily stunned.
then loud shrieking.

IRIS!! YIHUI!!! my goodness hahahhas XD
it was AWESOME to see you guys today man!!
hahahas was on a veritable HIGH for the rest of
the afternoon, am inspired to start working out again! =D
hope to see you guys soon on the 23rd!! ^^

i feel kinda nostalgic now. =)
hakunamatata- the future is ALWAYS better!!
I pray that everyday i become closer to achieving
MY VISION!!! ^^
my vision, my vision, a kingdom for my VISION! ^^
