Who am i
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Xinni and I trying to look scary, haha. How come there's another hand in the pic??!!!
The girls after presentation...
Caught in the act! I didn't mean to sleep during lesson!!!Anyway, from this week onwards, i do not have to go to school every thur and fri!!! Yeah!!! Thank you Lord!! Time passes by so fast, one semester is going away just like that and i still feel as if im on cloud nine. Well, this period of time in school taught me alot of things. I learnt to love others like myself, although it was very difficult. I learnt to be diligent in whatever that i need to do and let God do the rest... and God is very faithful. I learnt not to compromise (like ponning lectures or gossip) but to keep my eyes steadfast on the Lord. And God really challenged my faith too! I found back my lost library book!!! I told Shu en that if i found back this book it would be a miracle, but still i prayed and God answered it!!! I cannot believe it because it seemed impossible to find it back...
My group was in the library researching for information. i took out this library book that i had borrowed, there were many other books on the table too. After everything, i left early, leaving the library book behind and my friend returned all the books left on the table to a shelf. I really thought I wouldn't be able to find it back because the library was so huge. Anyway, this librarian gave me the barcode number and the shelf where she thought the book might be... and i found it!!! Thank you Lord!!!!
School is just getting more fun for me. alot of funny things happened in school, just this week alone there are too many to tell man! My whole clique has this signature guai kia look (including me!) , but they make everyday so fun with what they do... I really thank God for everything He has done. All things bright and beautiful, the Lord God made them all!!!

Yesterday i forgot to say something. I realised something about Santa. If you jumble up the alphabets in the word "Santa", it can be made into another word -- "Satan"!!! I wonder if the guy who came up with the idea of Santa was trying to promote Satan instead. That's how children have warped ideas that Christmas is about being good little children so that Santa will reward us. If I have children next time, ill tell them that Santa does not exist, so that I wont have to buy presents for them on Santa'a behalf.There's so many things that I want. I want my classmates to love God, i want Singapore to receive Christ, I want Christians to start rising up, i want my little sheep to be on fire for God, I want cell attendance to increase, i want to stop the burning of incense in Singapore, I want eyes to be open and ears to hear...... And im sure many of you want that too. When we go back to reality, what we want is not aligned to what we see. "He who works the land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgement" Prov 12:11. I just learned this new verse. If we want something, we have to go out and DO something, we cant just keep dreaming of that day when it will happen. Amen? I cant wait to do community penetration work next year!!! That's when we go to a block in Hougang, bless that block with gifts and slowly show them God's love.

Today let us welcome back.... ELIZABETH THIA!!!haha, ok, im back to normal again. Firstly, i must say something that happened on wed. I was taking orders from my friend in the lecture room (he wanted chocolates to stay awake). It was break-time by the way. Then, there was this guy who stood next to me and shouted so loudly to his friends below: "You want to pon lecture or not!!???" I was surprised.... not with what he said, but with my reaction!! it was a sub-conscious reaction. Do you know what i did??!! I looked at him, frowned and at the same time did a "tsk" sound. I cant believe I did that you know!!! Do you know how big size he was!!?? He could easily be from some gang and beat me up man!! Thank God, this guy fears girls. He said sorry to me. This taught me a lesson: Be conscious at all times, haha!Anyway, the next time i blog, ill talk about my dream house!! I dreamt of it when i was in primary school and up till now i still think it's such a FANTASTIC idea. Im just not sure if they can really build it man.As i go to school everyday, i struggle to love the people around me. It's easy to love people who are loveable(like me la! haha) but it's so difficult to love some other people. I find that i get very irritated with my school people(mostly people whom i do not know. I just get turned off by their dressing) THAT'S BAD!!! Today when i reflected on the way home, i found that im getting nastier. So, Lord, help me to love the unloveable and the sinners. Help me not to judge so easily because im nowhere good as well. Remind me to do everything in love. Amen!"Do everything in Love" 1 Corinthians 16:14. This is my favourite verse man, but also really difficult to achieve. Pray for me that my prayer would come true k?! Thank you and good bye!

Actually i have a lot of work to do, but i just feel like updating.........................................Today i was so upset, not over anyone in particular but with God. On my way to school it was like a quarelling session with my best friend. Im really fed up of praying and not seeing things happen. To add on to that, i lost another library book (Why does it always happen...) I told God i didn't want to talk to Him. Frankly speaking, many times i wonder if there will be a possibility that i will backslide, it's hard being the child God wants me to be. (You all must be amazed that this is coming out of my mouth rite...) I have a few friends who told me that they amire me for being so close to God, am I???? Sometimes, I wonder if Im anywhere near God's "I love best" list man. God is really so unpredictable. Today when i finally told God that i dont want to talk to Him anymore, my friend asked me to pray with him over my project group because there was to be a presentation later. Usually i would be the one "forcing" him to pray with me over my project group, today he initiated it. I see that God will never let me leave Him at all eh... At that point of time, i really thought how could I have been like that. My friend looked up to me with regards to my relationship with God, i can easily diminish the fire in his life too if im like that...Lord, i have made You too small in my eyes, please forgive me. I pray that I'll stay faithful even in times of trials. There's this line in A Little Princess which i like: "i don't know how i shall ever find out whether i am really a nice child or a horrid one. Perhaps Im a hideous child and no one will ever know, just because I never have any trials." We are all horrible people because there's sin in us, even though no one sees it. But with God's help, He moulds us so that we are refined in His image, i want to be closer to You Lord. Amen. I thank God that the joy of the Lord is still in my life!!

This is my sis and I celebrating National Day in church. There's a massive bbq going behind man!! I'm always looking forward to celebrating National Day in church!!! Actually, I had a tattoo on my neck but i accidentally scratched it away, so itchy fingers...
Anyway, Singapore is 40 years old and I really feel that this is such a symbolic number. Around my church is surrounded by all the incense and gods due to the 7th month, but i believe that God is going to turn this land into His own! With all the uprising evil, it is only right that the church rises up to be a people who is outstanding.
Lord, I pray that You will bring Singapore to Yourself. Increase the number of Christians in our land and bring more people to Your kingdom, not because we want to see which religion is the strongest but because we want people to love You like we do. Cover our land with Your blood and we claim Singapore for You, Lord!!!! May we find favour in Your sight so that You will not turn away from us Lord. We pray for Your forgiveness over this land- For all the sins and wickedness that these people are not even aware of. Most importantly, we pray for Your will to be done in Singapore as it is in Heaven. Amen.

Today is the last day of the 40-day fasting period, and i think i shall reveal the name of the person i've been talking about (*Drum rolls*). Haha, well, i reckon you all can guess by looking at the pictures on top. The person whom i love and cannot stop talking about is my LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!! and what were you all thinking??? He is my bf(Best Friend) and my everything.. He is everywhere!!!! I said He was beaten up before remember.. yeah, right on that cross He went and lost all His looks on that fateful day. If only you knew that you were that one who nailed Him on that cross, if only you were there on that day He died... Someone has to die to save us from hell. Well, He did. So, it's your choice whether we want to follow Him up to heaven or go somewhere else...

Are you all still thinking about who Im talking about??? i feel very at ease when im with him, that's what i call a bf, haha. i dont have to act like someone else to gain his favour. i think he's handsome, i dont know what u all think. But he told me that there was one point in time when he looked really ugly.. because he was beaten up. He has a really interesting life story man. well, if you look at him now you wouldn't even know that he had been the target of bullies at all. He is strong and very well-built, so I really couldn't believe it when he told me he was beaten up before. Oh, but he's not some ah bengs on the streets who goes around starting the fights. He said that those bullies just found him "bu shun yan". So poor thing man!!! He never fails to encourage me and build me up. He is really someone in my life whom i respect. Stay tuned to find out who he is!!!!

Isn't this picture nice??? I liked it because Joel Seah drew that and i thought he was very sweet. Anyway, i told him that i would put his "artpiece" here.Apparently, this week i had a really nice time with HIM (the guy i like, hehe). I lost my library book in school this week and all thanks to him, my library book had been found and returned to the library safely. Thank you so much!!! This week is a rather busy week in school but everytime i talk to him, i feel so much better! He doesn't really talk much but somehow, he is able to pass on his quiet strength to me whenever i need it. I really wonder... he does so much for me, am I doing enough for him too??? Today my friend asked me why i always look so happy. Liting agreed too. Frankly speaking, i didn't even know that i always look so happy, i didn't even thought people would notice me. Perhaps it's because i can see him so frequently, in school, in church......I feel very very happy to meet him in school everyday. Oh, did I mention that he takes the same bus as me to school too?? Everyday is such a joy and just like the bible said, "the joy of the Lord is my strength". Yeah!! tomorrow I would be seeing him again!!! One day I'll tell all of you his name, haha.

I didn't know that this blog was meant to blog about what you learnt during Computing lectures, my tutor would be looking at what we've been blogging about. Anyway, there's nothing that I need to hide from him. This week's lecture is about privacy and security. I learnt about cookie files in the computer. Cookie files can be harmful or useless. Im starting to like computers a little, little bit more. Once you understand how a computer works and how the various computer parts function, it get's more interesting.
