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

We had girls' stayover night from Sat to Sun, at lala's house. It was just Hitomi, Lala, Shu and I. I enjoyed our girls' talk at night, using code names to conceal our secrets. haha. What I enjoyed most was talking about SOMEONE together. We were talking about God... what were you thinking?? When God is in the conversation, He really just bonds the fellowship even closer. Im so thankful that we could pray together that night too.
Hitomi, Lala and I (Photographer: shu)
And then on Sun, we tagged along with the guys for their fishing trip at Pasir Ris farmway 1. God was with us because there were so many funy things which happened when we were there! The scenery was so beautiful too! It's hard to imagine that Singapore has such a scenic spot.
We caught that fish!! ... no actually we didnt. Notice all 4 similar shirts! This is the sisterhood man! Don't mess around.
Guess what happened?! This is so funny! I was sitting barefooted on a chair, and left my sandals on the floor beneath my chair. Lala was about to cast the rod which was very near where I was relaxing, so I cringed away from her fishing hook (if it hooks onto you, you can get hurt). The next thing I saw was some big white thing flying in the air and landing in the middle of the pond. We all just stared at it and thought what it was. I thought it looked familiar. It was white, like my sandal. It was the same shape as my sandal. I looked down at the floor and realised that one of my sandals was missing. That was my sandal in the pond!!!! Oh man, all the aunties and uncles there were laughing so hard! We all couldnt stop laughing either. Apparently, lala's fishing hook got hooked onto my sandals while she was casting her rod. Thank God the guys managed to reel in my sandal. haha
Lala with her catch - my white sandal!
The 4 guys: Linus, Jarmiss, Joel and Sam
Overall, I thank You Lord for blessing Shu and I with new close friends. Thank You for speaking to me on Sun. I knew without a doubt that You were speaking straight to me. You are in the ship with me. You are more concerned about my faith and fear than about the storm Im in. I will meditate on Your loving ways and trust in You always.

Recently I came across a journal which I penned in when I was in Primary school. There were several quotes which I copied from the storybook, The Little Princess, written by Francis Hogson Burnett (He also wrote the storybook, The Secret Garden). The Little Princess in this story was highly favoured by everyone in boarding school because she was rich, intelligent and pretty. But, when her father died and nothing was known about where his wealth went to, people in the school started to treat her badly. From a "princess", she became a slave. And she still showed what it means to be a princess all the time. "If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it""Perhaps I have not really a good temper at all, but if you have everything you want and everyone is kind to you... how can you help but be good-tempered? I don't know... how I shall ever find out whether I am really a nice child or a horrid one. Perhaps I am a hideous child and no one will ever know just because I never have any trials.""I don't answer very often. I never answer when I can help it. When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word- just look at them and think... when you will not fly into a passion, people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage.... There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in - that's stronger."It's easy to be nice to people who are nice to you. It's easy to love the loveable. This year is a test of my character. And I will know if I am a hideous person or not. But I have God with me and He will help me to love, He will teach me how to love. Lord, I will not trade anytime in the world for that day with You. (Matt 5:43-48) "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
