for 2 weeks

well.

the past two weeks have been really tiring. making decisions, talking to many people, getting opinions, hearing from God, etc etc etc. and right until the final moment, there was so much relief.

if you dont already know, im referring to running for council exco. they opened up the application right after june camp, which was a thursday, and we had to submit it in a week's time. so i prayed lots bout it, spoke to various people bout it, and yeah, basically i had already made up my mind on tuesday. i decided that i was gonna run, and i was gonna go for president as well.

BUT! char, the brilliant soul, (whom i love very much), asked me to really think bout it and make sure i knew what i was getting myself into. and that, for some reason, made me lose faith, and i wavered like crazy. i started to doubt, i started to think if it was really what God had wanted for me, whether it was a right decision or not. and it took sooooo long for me to decide again. and right until like 8pm on the submission day, my form was still empty. and it was getting scary.

i had a lot of concerns, a lot of fears, a lot of worries. and even right now, i cant even say what they were about. because i dont know. there was just this bugging uncertainty and unpeace within me, about whether to go for it or not. but He spoke to me, and He showed me part of His will for me at that point in time. and i am really thankful. God told me that everything was in His hands, and to give Him a chance to show me what He could do in my life if i just let Him. and of course, He also revealed many other things, but they're a bit more personal, so yes. hahah i will stop here.

so i filled in my application form, submitted it, and really just felt so relieved. and imma post my feelings bout the elections today on my lj so my flist will feel a bit more included ahah. imma leave it open for a week, then its gonna be f-locked. well, if i remember it, that is.

anyway, very very thankful that andrew is pres, and very thankful for my position as vice pres. also very thankful for the rest of the exco, and i believe that God will move all of us to do things for Him.((:

love you allllllls.

brings back memories

for the last 6 months, ive lost my way countless times.

everything ive worked for, everything ive built up for the last two years in mg, i lost it all in ac within half a year.

its time to build everything up again. right from scratch. but at least i know im not alone. at least now, i have other people to build it up with.

thank you char phang! youve been an awesome source of support for me for the past week. im sorry i always irritate you and make you very impatient. but thank you very very much. i think ive said all i had to say in the email.((: love you charxxx.

i suppose i should do some reflections.

so first up, cf camp! all i know just before the camp was that i needed to go back to God. that i needed a fresh touch from him. and i got it. and i thank God for once again calling me back into his kingdom. and really, God has spoken to me during camp in a way like no other. he has put songs into my head, he has given me visions, he has taught me through his word, he has spoken to me in the prayer room, he has touched me through worship, he has encouraged me through fellowship. and camp was really something i believe changed many peoples' lives. whether or not it ran as planned, whether or not the schedule was followed to the minute, it doesnt matter. cos God worked in the camp, he walked with each and everyone of us during the camp. i believe all the campers met him face to face. and his perfect plan has come through.

on the first night, when we had pt, i was really challenged. cos i expected camp to be really really God focused and suddenly, the camp comm started to be all strict and imposing all these physical challenges on us, and i was kinda like, this is crazy. cos i knew i was gonna get this crap during council camp already. but now that i think bout it, i really pushed myself and i was prepared for council camp. and God also spoke to me when i spent time reflecting. and even until now, there are still things i dont understand, there are still messages hidden and that i cannot fully comprehend, but i know God will reveal them to me when i'm ready.

cf camp was just awesome. really appreciate the camp comm for all their efforts, and their hearts were really God centred, and he really blessed the camp and lifted their efforts.

next, famine camp. it was just dumb. honestly. i mean, i could probably say my heart wasnt right, but i honestly honestly feel that it had very bad organisation. and overall, i was just unhappy. i left early cos my arms started to ache really badly at night so in the end i dont get my 30 hours. ugh sickening. UNHAPPY.

Anyway. On to council camp. It sucked really bad at the start of camp. i really couldnt wait for it to be over. im not gonna go into detail, cos i took like an hour to verbally say it to jiap, so you can imagine the time i will take to type and the time you will take to read the post. so yes. but in short, im sure all the elects have had some sort of takeaway, whether individually or as a body of elects. but i know that we're capable of so much more. and honestly, i think the 33rds are a bit disappointed as well, cos there are so many things they wanted us to learn, but that we havent grasped yet. but its okay! i think with more time, and with a good exco, we will go somewhere farrrrrrrrrr.

now the next question is. exco or not, and if yes, president or not. this question has really been bugging me quite a bit. and ive heard from various various people their opinions and stuff. and well, i have yet to come to a decision. but well, eventually, we'll know what happens.

overall, the past 6 1/2 months since dec08 has been very challenging. for the me who doesnt really like to meet new people, i have been with 6 different groups of new people. thats an average of one new group of people per month. and it's really really tiring for me. i mean, can you imagine meeting some completely new people every month and you're expected to get along with them almost immediately? its crazy. but somehow, ive gotten through it. hopefully, this will help in my future meetings with new people. hm.

okay. im tired. i'll see yallllls.

reach out and touch somebody's hand
make this world a better place if you can

love you just the way you are

tmr's the last day of school, so i thought id just take some time to type down my thoughts despite the 1000+ assignments due tmr.

orientation started off quite badly for me, and i sincerely (i am so sorry) thought my og sucked the most of all time. but, things got better, and i am getting along so well now with the person that i got really irritated with in the og. and im thankful for that.

then the class came along. and man was it bad, again. i tried really hard to be optimistic, to learn something from my experience with my og, but no, it proved to be an even harder challenge. now, on the whole, i guess it's pretty okay, but there are definitely more battles to be fought and won.

then council came along, and came with it even more trouble. the interview, the campaigning, the results, the expectations, everything. it was all pretty draining, and im pretty sure that things arent gonna get any easier. its gonna be mental torture, and if i can survive it, WOW.

i've had my ups and downs throughout the three months/two terms in ac. and there are gonna be more ups and downs. but i appreciate everyone who has been there for me. to listen to me, to comfort me, to pray for me, to talk to me, to support me, to make me laugh, to make me cry, everything. jc life is just gonna get more and more intense, but i hope ill be able to come through as a stronger person at the end.

raef

it just occured to me today how fragile life really is.

and how much courage it takes to leave everything behind.


This is my Father's world.
O let me ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!

limitations

ugh i am so unhealthy. i slept like 12+++++ hours. like i wanted to go for second service today, cos when i woke up at 7 i was so tired, but i overslept. ugh sickening lah.

ive got my gp essay left for the rest of the night. its not too much, i guess. maybe 2 to 3 hours? hopefully less. i dunno how im gonna write the actual paper during exams lah. die man.

ive been feeling so purposeless. like every time i think of school, i get so depressed. i think i just really want to get the next 1 1/2 years over and done with.

anyway. when i was walking down for combined cell yesterday, suddenly i remembered so many things. so many many many things. that are gone, like, forever. but well, i guess there are other things to take its place.

i should learn to be thankful.

smells like school spirit!

[rant]

went for cheering for debate team against vjc at vjc. honestly, at first when the councillors told us all nominees had to go, i felt it was kinda unfair cos, well, yeah. i am, we're not in council yet, and they're not giving us a choice. i was kinda. upset over it.

but i was glad i went. really glad.

just that the organisers of the debate were kinda stupid. i mean, you hold it at vj, your judges are vjc alumni, obviously vj will win right! i swear everything was totally against acj. and vj was so loser cos the number of ac supporters totally thrashed vj supporters can. they had more people on duty than they had for supporters. how lousy is that! i mean, aside from the fact that the nominees were in a sense, made to go, but i cheered with all my heart!

ugh. the best speaker went to the person whom i felt was the worst speaker of the debate. i mean seriously, wth. ann speaks SO much better than her. she is undeserving of the award. just because she's from vj? wheres the fairness man.

and overall, ac was so much stronger be it in their delivery, their rebuttals or their points. just because you have vj alumni, obviously they would want their alma mater to win right. do the organisers not have BRAINS to get a NEUTRAL PARTY to be the judges. i mean, seriously. think about it!

ugh. anyway, ac beat them hands down, no matter what. cos we know who the truly strong ones are. who cares bout vj. so bloody far, and the whole event wasnt even organised properly. and their "student leaders" dont know how to serve.

yes, i know, im being cynical. but well, if you were there, you would understand.

all right, so not every student in vj is like that, but the people at the debate were definitely not pleasant. honestly, the good things bout the whole wasted day in that building was listening to acdebate team slam the opponents, and the free food. i should have eaten more of that samosa.

[/rant]

well, at least i managed to finish most of my work throughout the day. and im really excited! cos the gp/ki dept is planning a trip to kyushu and i really really wanted to go. but i was damn scared my mum wouldnt allow, but i decided to take the form anyway. and when i showed it to her, she miraculously agreed! :D! so i did my personal statement today. ohh man i really really want to go on this trip! it would make me such a happier person, really. and salad says it's the week of the release of arashi's 10th anniversary album, so maybe ill get to see something big somewhere! im hoping!

other than it, its really been about council. i wont say too much, but one-liners are on monday. i cannot wait for monday to be over and results to be out. i still dont know if i want to get in or not, but we shall see what happens. i just want to get over the one-liners first.

recently, nothing much. school has been pretty okay. got class debate on monday (oh crap) and geog test on thursday (ugh) but ive been trying to keep up with my work, so shouldnt be too bad.

i was very encouraged by door to door! i really really was. i love watching nino's drama sps. they never fail to lift my spirits. cept maybe sukoshi.... cos i havent watched it yet, but it looks pretty boring.

ive watched the quiz show season 1 until ep 11 and golden ep1. mm well, sho's uhm. got pretty eyes. hahaha really really pretty eyes. the show is okay overall, just that i get really annoyed at the producer cos shes damn useless and her nose looks fixed. but maybe she will come in handy in the later parts of the show.

my cat is sick! his fur is having some problem and its really gross. and he's bleeding and itching and ugh. but lets hope he gets well soon.

ive been missing too much cell, both fridays and saturdays. well, sundays for now. im really sorry! i got loads of catching up to do with my homework and with cellies, and i will soon! hopefully. dont forget me!

ugh the weekend is over wayyy too fast. tuition on monday, cheering again on tuesday, MUGGGG on wednesday, test on thursday (plus 2.4km!), cc dinner on thursday, holiday on friday. yaye.

hmm. all rights. this post is actually pretty proper.


take that, madam!

zzzzzzzzz

if i dont get into council

i probably wouldnt cry that much.

Amen!

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby and an 8-year old daughter.

The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE!

The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed at the end of July.

The older girl was asked how she had survived and she says:- 'A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,' she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, 'This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!'

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds m ean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle.

Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With Egypt at the centre of the media and education in the Middle East , you can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still controlling and turning the world. Please let this story be shared.


well, i dont know how credible and reliable this is, but God will work in his ways.
