RAVE POST

So many things to thank God for! Sometimes during CG though, i'll be like, eh i know i have something to share but what(?!?!) during testimony time. Lol.. ok, just a list cos it's 0133 and there's church this morning (YEA!) so a bit 'seh~' (my new word =D)

1. God
as in, not in the 'ya must put God first in everything so yea, here it is, evidence. gr.' but really, this year's emerge, with Pst's Sermon on the Mount series preparing the way, it really did it. And the fact that God pursues us with His love, even surrounding non-believers with his common grace, so that whether most believe in God or not they will still be able to live life successfully. The evidence is all there. Forgot to pray? yea, but He still shows up. I finally feel like I'm starting to see colors, breathe fresher air, move more freely.. and like the song;

Better than the riches of this world,
Better than the sound of my friends' voices,
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart,
AND THAT'S JUST THE START!


So really, God, just for that introduction of this new chapter, TOP RAVES FOR GOD! Hurrah!

2. Good friends that edify me spiritually:
and this is v important esp when you're not a good friend in the hugest sense of the word. it's great to have friends who make you laugh, help you forget the circumstances you're in, even give advice on how to escape stuff you think you don't need in your life. but it's coming back to reality, real solid rock under your feet, a sense of support that gives you the courage to face your weaknesses and love yourself, love others, and most importantly, revealing God to you; that's what a 4D life is about. And really wanna thank ppl here:

- jean: for the homeground support, your loyalty in the face of my moods and spasms. Sometimes i really feel being born with a twin, it's like being equipped with a helper - like, look no further, Jeannette's here!

- Sheila: for being one of the few ppl in my short 19 years, who drew out an important characteristic of myself that i thought i'd lost somewhere along the line. i find that with u in my life, i've dared to do things that i'd never thot i WOULD, you know, walk the talk eg. Redang trip, cheerleading (for goodness' sakes), shopping (money on clothes??? never!) showing love

- Mic: the no-nonsense lady that will not take lame excuses, but still marshmallowy enough to keep pouring herself out for ppl like me. you teach me how to be a better person and you don't even need to speak!

3. Good company eg. Bean, Polar - um, man, Sharky, Dom (do you DOM? :D), ISAAC, etc., who'd make time just to hang out and get to know each other. it's times like this that keep building on my wanting to fellowship more and love what is of God. and really, my life is enriched just by knowing you ppl who're all so different but cool! As a byword, TRANSFORMERS is a really good movie. one of the best i've seen in a VERY long time. serious.

4. PPl in my life who've, in one way or another, kept me in church till i could be touched by God: joshua, Shi yun, Zhi jian, Amanda, MK, Jocelin, Gerald, Sean, Nianying, Lil Sharon, KANG TWINS, Swee fan, Calvin, Pamela(!)

5. Ppl in my life who've LAID DOWN their lives for me:
CHU TING, MINDY, BOBBY, SIMON PETER, JOCELIN, MICHELLE.. it's really an honor to know you guys and even say so!! O.OD

I rmb a time I was so far away and so tired of people in general, cos really it's relationships that really get me down - n when Jean would walk in on me crying or just sitting and not even having the energy to do stuff, she would listen n say 'just cry out to God alright?' and that would be the last thing i wanted to hear. sometimes you know what to do, and you know what the advice will be, but when the emotions are n...

Love is in the air...?

(3:0.) hmm.. feels like the season of BGRs, whether fulfilled, in the making or preconceived. Lol... my eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw the cover of Harvest Times. I was like, 'Whoa, Pst! Very sharp!' But then, that's after his dramatic telling of the 'Please stop match-making me... the person I want... is you!' thing... I wonder if he's behind it! Heh.. I've always been one of the youngsters chuckling behind my hand when Pst made those jokes about those singles who were 'feeling the urge to merge'. Now, with my 20th birthday just, (egads) around the corner, I'm suddenly looking around and seeing that I am now in that category of singles! (joanne clutches at cheeks & looks for a way out) Lol.. I can frankly say that I'm feeling the pressure. Not just because people I know are beginning to pair up, or coming to me to confide about their ex-es, but because of the whole stereotype of us being now of marriageable age, and therefor...

Aunt Karen just called mum to discuss plans for the trip to Whistler. awesomeawesomeawesome... no matter how cold it gets, and how early the sun sets, snowboarding will be worth it all! but seriously i'll be missing everyone in Singapore. i'm already feeling homesick every night thinking of all the things i'll be missing... no, check that, trading for time spent with family. :) no regrets, just... yeah. :'D thinking... i really wanna go for habitat for humanity. that's what's been keeping me off from the job hunt. but then i think of my parents, and i think that's selfish of me. i wish i didn't have to worry about money... so that i can give it to where it's needed. however 'World peace'-ish that might sound, it really doesn't feel good saying sorry, i can't, i'm broke. another random post marking procrastination... i should be studying now... BUT in my defense, this exam is seriously TOO drawn out. put me out of my misery nowwww ...
