its october

time flies. can't believe i've been bumming for 7 months already. only major thing i did was driving? passed on 1st attempt so i guess everyday lessons were worth it. been driving after i passed, mostly at night which is better for traffic except in balestier and geylang areas.

cf camp just passed, and i have to say that every cf camp that i've been to is quite different. tpcf is going to be making a big impact in campus one day, whether official or not, and i truly believe it.

my mom came back yesterday, which signals time for home cooked food :)
dad'll be back only 2 days before my bday. 2 days after that and i'm off to tekong for enlistment. i'm pretty alright with hair being gone, just maybe abit sian that for first 2 wks got to stay in. but generally other than that, going in with a positive attitude and hope it stays that way.


And I thank you, Lord,
For the trials that come my way,
In a way I can grow each day,
As I let You lead;
And i thank you, Lord,
For the patience those trials bring,
In the process of growing,
I can learn to care

But it goes against the way I am,
To put my human nature down
And let the Spirit take control of all I do;
'Cause when those trials come,
My human nature shouts the things to do,
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

But I thank you, Lord,
With each trial i feel inside,
That you're there to help lead and guide
My way from wrong;
Cause you promised, Lord,
That with every testing,
That Your way of escaping's
Is easier to bear

But it goes against the way I am,
To put my human nature down
And let the Spirit take control of all I do;
Cause when those trials come,
My human nature shouts the things to do,
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

Yes, I thank you, Lord,
For the victory that growing brings;
In surrender of everything,
Life is so worthwhile.

And I thank you, Lord,
That when everything's put in place,
Out in front i can see your face -
And it's there You belong

Desert Song

trust and obey

After everything, it's come down to this.


When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Haven't been here for awhile, just been too lazy to blog. Well, its a different story when I blog for others though, haha. Been doing so many different things the past few weeks, meeting up with people, especially hj who I've not seen for more than 1.5 years? Told myself it must not happen again!

Umm church camp tis friday till next monday, kinda exciting yet not quite so. I'm sure God will present me with a few surprises this time round though. I've got my FOURTH army checkup the following day at 8am, and its regarding blood test. The 4 tubes of blood they drew from me the last time apparently isn't enough i guess...

and happy birthday carmen!! I couldn't find a nice photo of you so I'm not putting any up. I was thinking of putting up that photo, but you would kill me if I did so... no photo.. hahah :)

Change

After meeting various people, I've been thinking how time changes people. Some people become more serious, some more vulgar and some just change for the worse.

How's army going to change me?

Pray that God will be in charge of the process.

curiousity

When the serpent tempted Eve, part of the reason she fell was because she was curious.

Curiousity killed me.

The WILL of God

The will of God will never take you, Where the grace of God cannot keep you, Where the arms of God cannot support you, Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs, Where the power of God cannot endow you.

The will of God will never take you, Where the spirit of God cannot work through you, Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you, Where the army of God cannot protect you, Where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The will of God will never take you, Where the love of God cannot enfold you, Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you, Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears, Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The will of God will never take you, Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears, Where the Word of God cannot feed you, Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you, Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

Wait

Since God says wait, so I shall wait.

HOLIDAYSSSS! Enjoying the freedom now while I still can, before serving the nation for 2 years. Been really busy going out everyday (means $$$ deplete very fast), spending time mostly with poly frens~

I just realised I'm going to celebrate XY's birthday 3 times.. haha. 1st was Sentosa last week resulting in a really sunburn! 2nd was yesterday.. F5 + Blackie (Carissa) came my place for mahjong then chompchomp. 3rd is sooon.... with the ah nehs =) hahaha.

I'm lazy to upload photos on my blog... so go to my facebook and see!



I'm going to trust God that it'll all turn out well.

Finished

It is done.

Finishing Line

1 down, 3 more to go.

Monday - Financial Institutions & Markets
Tuesday - Personal Financial Planning
Thursday - Company Law

its FRIDAY I'M IN LOVEEEEEE! Ok that's the title of the song which was played in Mambo. It's by The Cure. Haha random I know...

All my papers left are from 9.30am to 11.30am. So, do pray for me as I study and take the papers. Thanks.

Its just so hard sometimes, really really hard and painful. But it's something that I have to go through, and learn and grow from it.

God, what are You speaking to me today?

Finishing Line

Submitted my applications for NTU and NUS last night, and it was really so frustrating filling up everything. I think I would go to SMU if I manage to get in, after talking to my lecturer as well as its much more convenient for me. Of course, I pray that God will allow me to!

Tomorrow, I'll be having my last ever lecture and tutorial in poly. And my tutorial will be in a LT, not a classroom. Oh wells. I thank God for the good results so far, hopeful to end this semester with 4.0. This semester has been so strenous, and it has flew by without anyone noticing. My first paper is next Friday, lasting till the following Thursday (26 Feb).

Anyone who wants to do anything after that give me a call! I can see myself playing mahjong and meeting people much more. Haha.

Happy early valentine's day!

uncle yao he heineken ma?

Till we meet in 6 months.

Cheers!

January

Hello here's a post finally after so long. It's been quite an eventful month! Let's kick off with the ACCA CFO Challenge..

1 of the 4 posters which Xiao Qian (Kris) drew...the 3 of us having a laugh outside the audi before it started...

we tried taking this photo so many times cause our heads were blocked zzz

and its commences!
me answering the question... bet none of you noe the answer
first group to score points!
we lost out on the last question...

It was quite an interesting experience, first time playing a 'game show'! I had fun and was actually surprised we made it so far. We competed against 2 SMU teams and actually beat one of them! haha. Realised my lecturers level really quite high too..

4 mid-sem tests are completed, 3 projects submitted and 1 more due on 10 Feb, presentation next friday. And my final exams for poly are starting on..... 20 Feb. This sem has really been non-stop chionging. My poly life ends on 26 Feb 11.30am. It's been a fun time in poly, guess I'll blog more about it when the time comes.

We've also started DGs! I'm excited to see what new plans God has in store for Bay going forward =)

My Chinese New Year wasn't well spent. Ang Bao collection fell drastically, and I did my project on both the first and second day. RAHHH poly students never enjoy cny, seriously.

On a lighter note, if I had prophetic dreams it'll be really funny. haha. Bus 315 starts and stops in Serangoon! =)

2009

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope that 2008 was a good year for you, it sure was for me. I went through many changes and had new experiences, especially one which changed my whole life =)

2009 will be a tough year with even more transitions, graduating from poly in 2 months time (NOOOOOO!!), going to army, and so many more unseen things yet. You know, I really am thankful that I have a God to rely on, trust and hold on to along the road of life. I had a talk with someone not too long ago, and she was saying how she does not understand how her colleagues can sleep well at night, because they do not have peace in their hearts as they do not know God. But people who have met God are different, their lives are changed and they set their minds on things above.

Yesterday, my coursemate told me her tuition kid suddenly changed alot after his church camp. And she was asking how come someone can change so much just by going for church camp. I replied, he met God. You do not need to go to church camps to be changed, you can encounter God as long as you are willing.

Are you willing to be discipled by God? This would mean giving up so many of your desires and surrendering to God. The biggest lesson I learnt in 2008 was to wait on God's timing. I am still struggling, but I know that God is preparing and training me up.

I pray that 2009 will be a year where I will be able to worship God no matter the circumstance, to continue growing in Him, lifting up my desires and wants to Him and having Him in control.

Jesus, YOU are my Lord. Amen.
