I am human too.
i may seem tough and all.
but i'm not at all.
and maybe that's why people always take advantage of that.

i dunno.
i'm hurting so much inside.
i feel so dumb.
really extremely dumb.
it's nt that i dun trust GOD.
but i feel very alone right now in this world.

its a negative thingy.
and i dun want it either.
i think i haven had a break since 2005. and maybe tt's why.
when i thot i had it, it jus slipped right thru my fingers.

how in the world to convince myself tt i'm gonna be alright?
at the rate i go, my health is going down the drain.

in any way,
thank U all for praying for me.
i still believe God has HIS plans for me. ((:

in HIS love.

WONDERFUL DAY!
heyy!!! (((:

i had a SUPER UBER eventful day!!! (((:
i love CNY!
CNY this yr has really changed my perspective of CNY!

do you know, CNY isnt jus a time where u collect angbaos, so your revenue can increase and spend more money on buying more clothes?
neither is it a time where u jus sit in front of the tv and eat new yr goodies and grow fat after that.
but, rather it is a time of fellowship,
a time where you share your joy and sorrow.
a time where ministry takes place.
a time where you pray for your family member.
a time where you share GOD's love with a loved one.
((:

yes, this year, that's my CNY. at least today.
and you know what?
not being able to eat the new yr goodies (due to BAD throat infection),
made me, sit very quietly listening to older people talk.
(oso because i got nt much voice)

and i enjoyed myself so much.
i'm really proud to be the 4th generation CHRISTIAN in my family!
i feel the responsiblity to share and bring those who have yet to know HIM!!!
we had 4 stops in total.
1st stop, i was quiet, jus enjoyed the "brunch" then left.

2nd stop, MAMA's house...
was extremely cool.
i really thank GOD for JEREMY PAN.
this close friend of mine, really is one of those who made my day today!
our timing was just so so so good!
and GOD knew we just had to meet today!!!
it was really quality time spent today.
(we haven spoken to each other, like heart-to-heart since since!!! )
and i realised how much both of us had to share! LOL.
how both of us realised 1 bowl of salted duck and veg soup is not enuff. (LOL)
i was so encouraged and spurred on even more to do exactly what GOD has called me to.
THANK YOU JEM JEM! ((:
one day. SOON!

then my cousins: JONATHAN, JENINE WEE, CHERYL, ESTHER, ALETHIA WEE
totally MADE MY DAY!
they're so super adorable.
so super funny because they talk like adults even though the oldest is only 9 this yr.
they hugged me. played with me.
took photos with and of me.
showed me how to play DS!
HAHA.

then it was to 5th GRANDUNCLE'S HOUSE.
i always love his place.
i dunno why.
though we only see each other once a yr, it always feels like we're super close.
and we talked abt missions and doing GOD's work there and all.
SUPER COOL! (((:
YEP.

then JOJO&CHRISTIAN'S HOUSE!
ooh goodness me, ROWENA JOY EBER is EXTREMELY cute and HIGHLY intelligent.
she's only 2yrs and 3mths nw, she's SUPER SMART!
super brilliant. speaks clearly.
proper english. ((:
and understands all tt i say.
she's so cool!
and so open and so SOCIALABLE!!!!
LOL.
she's SO CUTEEEE!!! aiyooo! i played with her more than 2 hrs lehh!
and then it was ministry time as we prayed for their family.
and CHRISTIAN is so nice.
he gave me cough medicine. coz he hear me cough until super bad. ://
and and, it felt great to see uncle CHRIS again! HEHE.
and for the 1st time meeting jonathan! haha. :p
he's so TALL!

oh and aunty margaret gave me manuka honey!!
she's so sweet.
and i got a photo of LEONARD smiling. LOL!
so goodlooking. jus like his daddy. LOL.
(((:

hahaa.. photos will be up sooN! :p
great day!
gonna sleep soon!
long day tmr! HEH.
and wed back to SERVE!
(((:

DEAR LORD, YOU SUSTAIN ME.
LORD, YOU'RE SOVERIGN.
DIRECT ME LORD.
IT'S SO SAD.
SO PAINFUL.
BUT, IN ALL THINGS, GOD WORKS FOR OUR GOOD.
AND HE'S FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE WHAT HE HAS STARTED IN US!

IT's tough. BUT, GOD IS IN CONTROL.
heyy ((((:

been going thru a rough patch in life.
and it aint easy at all.
yet, we all know, that at the end of this dark and what seems like a long tunnel will be the light.
and that the BREAKTHRU will come.

and yes, i am still being prayerful.
putting all my trust and hope in GOD.
and in HIM alone.

coz man can disappoint us. but GOD will never.
it's been said 2009 wud be tough.
and now, reality sets in.
it sure is tough.
but i thank GOD for this molding period.
no more, no more crying.
enough is enough.

and yep, i believe GOD is strong and able to carry me thru this hard time.
((((:

so i believe that GOD will do the same for u.
each of you who is going thru a tough time...
GOD will provide a way out for u.
((:
do not worry. ((:
read Matthew 6:25 - 34

i think today's sermon was super timely and powerful!
topic: BREAKTHROUGH in PRAYER!
and, rev mike used 2Samuel 5:17 - 24.
and like how DAVID put his trust in GOD.
and went by faith and won the enemies.

yep.
3main points.
#1. When you're faced with painful odds, begin with prayer! (v 17-19)
#2. When you pray, pray in FAITH to expect a breakthrough! (v 20- 21)
#3. When you pray, dont tell GOD what to do. Simply report for duty and wait for HIS instructions! (V 22-25)

yep, BLESSED CHINESE NEW YR! (((:

in HIS love.

i dunno
i dunno why.
honestly.
why i'm struggling so much.
what's wrong with me?
what happened along the way?

did MI and the ppl there change me tt much?
why am i the way i am now?!

why do i always get dragged down and bogged down?
why do i not have self-discipline??
why am i such a lazy person?

it hurts so much.
does anyone besides GOD understand?
TRUST is such a simple word....
yet, easier said than done.

i always believe it takes two hands to clap.
this yr is gonna be a yr of discouragement, sianness and disappointments.
i'm not gonna entertain it.

LORD, You're King of kings, Lord of lords,
Lord, u've brought me to this point, i know You wont forsake nor leave me!
put YOUR hedge of protection round me pls.
Lord, i thank You for everyone in SERVE.
Lord, i want to serve YOU!
i really do.
pls Lord, pls give me Self-discipline
and self-control
and pls help me to be complete and happy once again in YOUR presence Lord.
give me the strength to carry on.
help me to pin ALL my hopes on You and not on MAN.
thank You Lord!
IN JESUS' NAME,
AMEN! (((:

2009!!
heyyy (((:

blessed new year!!!

its alrdy 3 days into the new yr and i dun feel like its 2009! i stil write my dates as 08. LOL! :P its so exciting! coz it's finally here!!! everything's like happening extremely fast.

new yr jus started but it alrdy feels like it's past so fast! goodness. yep, i've to agree with jem tt 2008 was definitely a roller coaster ride for me.

1st of all, it was where transformation took place. where loads of molding took place.
where GOD really pulled me back to HIM and melt my heart and changed my life.
still in the process of refining.
but i believe GOD is doing smth big in my life!
i really wanna be more self-disciplined and self-controlled.

i've got alot of things to plan! alrdy some stuff are like fixed for the yr!
and tt's great. coz only 3 days into the new yr and it's like booked. LOL!
i realised, how i hate last min stuff. as in, i dun exactly plan things in detail, but i like to have the big picture before i add in the smaller, minute details. HAHA..

and i really got to thank GOD and all my family and friends who have supported me and saw me thru 2008! thru all the times when i was so super down and really wanted to give up and all, thank U for being so patient with me and still embracing me and walking down the road with me! (((:

SERVE PROG is gonna take 3 mths. by then As wud be out.
then it wud be deciding which UNI and what course to take.
and in the mean time, it wud be taking BTT (yeah, i haven taken it) LOL!
and complete the whole driving thing.
and to SERVE GOD. i'm super happy to be back on P&P serving with gabbY! (((:

oh yes, and now, it's super different because we no longer have cell on fri.
and no service on sats.
i thot it was only my sat tt is freed up.
i realised, i'm super free nw. yepp, i really am. LOL! :P
super happY! can stay home and do stuff, and clear stuff, and do housework! HAHA.
and save money!

i need to draw closer to GOD.
2009 has been said to be a difficult year for all of us...
but my encouragement is..
PRESS ON! stay close to PAPA GOD.
be alert and be very careful!
weigh ur priorities!
GOD should always come first!!!

SEEK YE FIRST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU!!!

in HIS love.
