Baguio

Well, Baguio was great fun! Know wut? A total of 2000++ people were saved!! *rejoice* Plus the trip was also a good experience for the members to bond and know each other better and to break down cliques. 2nd plus, its also a wonderful opportunity to find our goals in life and to do God's will and in the process grow closer to God.

I had the chance to experience celebrity lifestyle, although, perhaps not as much as Andrew, Melissa or Daniel did. The crowd treated them/us like celebrities, with all of the screaming, pulling at our T-shirts and all that.. However, the girls were noticably crazier than the guys. Daniel even had a girl run up to him and kiss him on the cheek. :D Ah, well...

Furthermore, the trip helped us realise the importance of prayer. And to rely on God and not our own ability or strength. My most memorable bit of the trip is the visit to the city church.

Kept this in the draft for age, its feeling rather stale now.. So, I'll just post it.

Esther's Bday!!!

Oh yea, I can't believe I left this out of my post juz now.. Today, is Esther's bday!!! Yep yep, happy bday to her! Hmm, I know u dun read my blog but anyway a very happy bday to you.. I wouldn't be able to run cf without you..

And to all those not in the know, Esther's the vice-prez in cf. And she's this really capable, strong, sweet, pretty gal. Most importantly, strong and wise in the Word of God.

Beauty...

Dear beloved readers, (if any exist apart from et) I strongly encourage you ppl to use the comment link at the bottom of each post.. It gets rather discouraging when I don't get any response from the audience, u know all that bout having a good rapport wif audience and all that..? Well, hope to see some comments soon. Thanx! =)

Well, to move on to deeper waters. Beauty. Its all bosh that physical beauty doesn't matter. The core of human nature is always partial to beauty. Its all around you, love partner, marketing, packaging, advertising.. Especially, in the area of llove and sales.

Thank God, God made me pretty.. Guys don't look twice at ugly girls (no matter what they say), and vice versa.. In sales especially, you wrap everythin up into a nice eye-catching package. And customers lap it all up eventhough the quality s*cks.. And advertising boosts sales tremendously.. Why? Beauty.

Beauty gives an unfair advantage.
*sigh*

Life is a matrix of lies and twisted truths. Nothing is true, except for the one truth, Jesus Christ. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today.. No way. I'd probably have jumped of a building already what with this pithole we live in.. Thank God for Jesus.

He's changed me tremendously, undoubtedly.. If it wasn't for him, I'll be chasing the wrong goals, b*tchy, hot-tempered and worse.. Braden thinks I'm an optimist, Brendan does too (in fact).. But I wonder if they truly see the innermost workings of my brain.. My blog has turned in to a place where part of my soul is bared. Or rather, I fancy so.. But my blog has turned into a place were my thoughts can be aired freely.

Thank God for blogs. Well, all in all.. As a conclusion, life is twisted reality and beauty is essential. And God rules above all! Amen!

Revelation

Hmm, I received a revelation today.. Its something my parents told me.. I have come to the conclusion that I think too highly of myself and my opinions. Um, in the sense that I always think that I'm better than all those surrounding me. For example, I think that my english teacher's english isn't good, some leaders aren't good, etc, etc..

Hah, this is a rather personal post.. Hmm, I'm not sure if I mind ppl reading this.. Well, and I think that I don't really like thinking of myself in the wrong even if I am. Aiya, I can't find the words to articulate my meaning.. Just that, I shud stop thinking judgementally of ppl. And stop thinkin that I'm always right.

Well, to move on to other less soul-searching stuff.. Firstly, we lost the drama, as expected and predicted. But the process was fun. Especially loved the make-up, dressing-up part of it. Secondly, MEI YII is back!!!!! I've missed her so so very much this 3months. She's gotten darker and stronger but as pretty as ever.. My darling cousin is back! Hip Hip Hurrah! =D And on the plus side, we're going Baguio next week! Mei yii, Hui yii and I. The trip will be a good chance for me to catch up with her and her NS stories.

K, lastly, exams have been strangely uneventful. On hindsight, maybe not strangely..

K, my movie start liao!! I want to watch it! Its called "The Gods must have been crazy". And its about this Zulu tribe who worship & fight over a coke can which dropped from the sky. *grin* Shud be entertaining.

The Truth!

Hmm, after much thought and pondering.. I think that no matter how much I pretend it isn't so.. Physical appearances do matter quite a bit to me. I know all that preachy stuff about not judging a book by their cover, in fact, I myself preach it. I just find it hard to do. Hmm, as in just normal frenz, I dun care how u look like, I'll accept you the way you are.. But when it comes into considering you as my boyfriend. Then, looks are taken into account of. *sigh* I wonder if its just me or is the whole world like this.

Anyway, mr michael will be bringing us to drama competition this thursday. And well, there's no hope of us winning. Or even coming close to a win. All we can do right now, is to try to save ourselves from embarrassment.

Sometimes, I wonder.. Is what I'm unable to do limited only by my mental blocks? I don't think I can act.. But is that really true? I dunno.. I'm reevaluating the matter.. Thanx to krys, and partly mr michael.

I'll be counting on your prayers for my exams. *grin* Thanx!

All About Love....... =)

According to the Hebrew definition, love is separated into 3 categories.
a) agape = God's love for us, the perfect love
b) phileo = Friendship type of love, tender affection
c) ahab or aheb = either familial, romantic or friendship. May also signify sexual lust.

Well, since Valentines just passed not too long ago.. Or at least since i miseed blogging about it, I shall blog about it now. I believe that true love isn't about physical looks or character or personality. When you truly love someone from the bottom of your heart, you learn to forgive the fact that they own a huge nose or like to smoke or is a critic. You just accept them the way they are.

That's what agape love is. God died for us while we were yet sinners. He died for the murderers, robbers, liars, adulterers, you and me. He accepted us, he didn't try to change us, he just hoped that through His love for us we would change. And through His love, touch and influence others to change too.. In fact, the Bible describes Christian love as agape love. That's a real challenge isn't it? Hah, to love all mankind no matter what their faults are? That would be really tough..

Phileo love needs time and lots of understanding. I relate it as to the kind of love me and krys have for each other. It is also the love Jesus had for a certain disciple. Phileo is tender affection. Hmm, nothing much to elaborate on this point. Shall leave it to your own imagination.

Ahab or aheb love... I shall talk about this love in the romantic and sexual context. Well, firstly this love needs maturity. Spiritual and mental maturity. When you think you like someone and want to kau them or accept them check your motives first. Do you want to be with them for personal benefits or because you want to care for them. And most importantly, don't give in to peer pressure, don't accept someone just because everyone around you has a boyfriend. Trust me it won't work out, I've been there and done that. Lastly, remain sexually pure for God.

Oh, and a tip for finding a bf/gf. =D Pls pls pls don't be desperate.. Keep your cool and pray for a partner and one will pop up right before your very eyes in no time at all. So stay cool and don't be desperate. And spread God's love around the world! =)

1 Cor13:4-6
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres.

Im Back!!!

Hey dearies!!! I'm BACK!!! =D Read krys and ee wennie's blog juz now. Den, read my own. And somehow I just realised how very very much I've missed blogging. Therfrefore, I've come to the conclusion that I shall blog again. And hopefully hopefully, this time I'll stay committed to my blog. *shoos flies*

There's still that little teeny weeny irritating problem of the blinking taggy but if it still does't work yhan I shall delete it!! Muahahahaha... I shall be so happy to get rid of that stewpid thing once and for all.. Then, those of you faithful readers shall have to resort to using the comment link at the bottom of each post loh.. Hope that won't be to bothersome.. Sorry.. But well, cest la vie.. (Hmm, probably spelled it wrong.. Enlighten me pls someone?)

Hmm, I wonder how many ppl will actually realise I have continued blogging.. Well, help me spread it through word of mouth la.. Oh and thanx so very much ET, you devoutness to the blog contributes a lot to my motivation to contine blogging. God bless you!

In Cyber cafe

I'm in the cyber cafe now. Yep, typin out the cg message for daddy. Oh btw, I won't ba able to go cg this fri.. Sniff sniff.. Cos it clashes with planet shakers concert and I'll be going for that instead. =( Sniff, I'll miss going for cg.. (Note to aaron/adrian: Help me tell li peng on fri)

Oh yea, my parent's office kinda like caught fire. Or to be exact, the fire escape at the back of the office caught fire. It was kinda scary. The toilets and back room were thick with smoke. It turned out that the cause of the fire was a bunch of drug addicts were taking drugs in the fire escape and somehow somthing caught fire cause they were high and wasn't paying attention.

People got rather panicky, running around with pails of water. I didn't really realise the danger though cos my parent's were so casual about it. Mum just got her secretary to call the bomba then we left the office for lunch.

When we came back, there was 2 fire engines and firemen walking around. By that time, there fire was out already lar.. Although still got smoke and blackened walls. Was kinda cool. =D Something to add into my life experiences,ya know? Never saw real life firemen nor fire engine before till today. =D *grin*

Oh ya, I need to make a revised bit of something to my future plan. Hehe, mei yii, hui yii and I decided awhile ago that we'll build our houses/vacation houses next to each other. All 3 houses on a single plot of land. And have a swimming pool, pool table, basketball court and other nice stuff. =D And stay together!! Yippee, wouldn't that be so fun?

Oh crap, something just hit me... *smacks head* If my com is spoilt and I am forced to reformat or if I simply can't on it anymore... Then, all my lovely lovely pictures would be gone gone gone. And I have so many that I can't afford to lose.. No no.. Please don't tel me they're gone. Please everybody, please pray really hard for my com.. If I can't get my stuff back, I'll dive from KL tower.. Urgh....

Dear God, I pray my com stuff will not disappear. And that all the people who pray for me will be blessed abundantly in return. In your name, amen. =)
