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

Today Aunty Jennie passed away. She was knocked down by a speeding motorcycle in Indonesia, working as a missionary. Although I am not very close to her, but in some ways she had impacted my life, during my teenage years. I still remembered her telling stories to us when we were in P6, teaching us about God, being that motherly figure to us, checking up on my life etc. She was a great comforter with a very soothing voice. There was once when I was so worried about my family situation and she pulled me aside to pray for me. I didn't even say anything to her about how I worried I was but her voice and her prayer brought great comfort to me. And i will never forget the $50 she gave me during the period when my mum was in prison and all the times when we stayed over in her house for our own little gatherings. Seeing Lynn cry so badly today, i was trying so hard to fight back my tears.She will be the first person to have her funeral in my church, that's so cool man. Even though she lived for such a short while but her life had been so purposeful, because she lived her whole life for God. I cannot imagine myself not knowing God, then I would most probably be chasing after riches, wealth, good job etc. A life without God is meaningless and useless, trust me, i've been through that period before. If God has called her back home, then her purpose on Earth must have been accomplished. For me, i want to run my race faithfully too and accomplish God's purpose for me. And im looking forward to going back home one day.

Went for vjc's guitar concert to watch buddy, Jessie and Huiyu perform. Hey, all of you really performed really well! Wanted to upload all the photos taken but only 1 photo can be shown. Anyway, baldie, arent u honoured i put ur pic here??? haha. Really thank God that even though it's been a year since i last saw my jc friends, we can still communicate in that same familiar way. I was so happy to meet my ex classmates man, esp Baldie and Buddy. Afterall, they were the closest friends i made in jc. Of course, I also felt really glad to see Samsui, Jessie and Huiyu!
Happy 18th birthday Sam!! Miss all the times I confided in you during sec sch and all your wise advice on relationships. I really wish you all the best in your As this year, and that you will continue to be that bubbly partner to all your friends. You still make me laugh man, dont know how you manage to do it. Even in that short meeting with you in vjc, you could make me laugh by how you appreciate the guitar concert. haha! yep, enjoy yourself!

"Footprints"
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied: "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Happy 18th Birthday to TAN HUIYU and JESSIE FOO SIHUI!!! i hope you both read this only on your birthday. Both of you are really old now man! But wiser too, i hope. I still remember all the times in PL when we had our water fights in the toilet, purposely walking in the rain so that we can be late for higher chinese lessons, singing so many chinese songs and changing their lyrics, our customised 5566 poster etc. And i miss all the times we celebrated April Fool's Day and Valentine's Day together!!!! Huiyu: She is a good listener and a great partner. I can freely talk to her about God because only she understands whatever Im talking about. During lessons, her diliegnce in studying always makes me feel guilty and motivated to pay attention in class too! She will always voluntarily plan outings for our clique and somehow her presence there makes me feel secure that the outing will run smoothly. Jessie: Always helping me out with choir scores etc. In sec1, i remembered she had to constantly pick up my stationary for me, because i always dropped them to her side. She is like a motherly figure and i feel very comfortable with her! She can laugh till she falls off the chair man! She's someone you can count on when you meet with problems because she is a God-sent comforter and encourager. And she's also someone who will laugh loudly with you in good times.Anyway, i really pray that God will grant you both wisdom, strength and favour with God and men. May you both embark on a higher level of intimacy with God and hear Him better. This year, may God shape you both in character and spirit. God bless you!!!

The weather is very "fine" these few days. It will be so hot and then suddenly rain so heavily. On friday, i was caught in the rain when I reached school and was about to be late for lecture. Furthermore, my lecture room was at some desolate place, on the top of a hill. I thought i was going to be drenched. Haha, thank God i called Liting while under some shelter and she offered to shelter me from where I was(with an umbrella) to the lecture hall. Thank You Liting!! She was already half wet when she came to pick me up and furthermore i made her even later for lecture. So, this entry is specially dedicated to her! haha. Thank you!!
