memories snapped

MyHope Singapore

If these people weren't here, things would not have been as great..
And the cell I can't trade for anything..

And all who made the party memorable! =D

Joe's dog (Stormy) and me! It likes me! =D


Sentosa trip. (I have some photos but I'm too lazy to upload them. Mainly of clarissa trying desperately to hit the ball.)



Jumping shots.

And I found these photos in Tia's fb! We were supposed to be doing the super boring PW when Amanda got her macbook out and..
I think this is the cutest face I can ever have. )=



I have so many things to do but I'm just so lazy. )= I need a knock on the head to know time is running faster than me. And I think I should just bring my geography notes everywhere I go.

Since youth camp, I don't feel like I have had a decent rest. I am already up at 7 plus now for no reason. Something within me isn't ticking well. I can't eat well either. )= I should include good appetite when I say grace.

Thank God for the party. Joe's new house was done just on time, and we had many friends during the party. I believe the whole cell is really glad to see Andrew and Abby. (: I think the party was quite fun. (: And I'm glad to see Sam, HZ, Cher and Jassy. Thank you guys for coming! Really appreciated it and I hope you had fun!

Sentosa trip.
Most fruitful trip for me because I finally dare to float on my own. And we had a good time playing. We watched a bad movie though, worst I've ever seen. Haha. Headed for dinner with sophia and some of the 4E3 people. And swing! (:

Thank you Dudley and Iris for being there. I really needed that listening ear.
Thank You Lord for always being there and guiding my footsteps patiently as I wobble half the time.

Back from youth camp! I think it was good, because many times camps are a lot about us and asking God to do this and that. But this camp has gotten us to take a look and more concern for the people around us like our community. And I become more conscious about GIVING and less of receiving.

It was good being in the same group as my cell, and I continue to learn more about them. Like how the guys kept us waiting for devotion. Haha. Kidding! But seriously, each and every single of one you made the camp fun to be at. And I think our cheer is funny. (: I thank God for one of my friend too. At one point of time, she actually put her hands on my shoulders to comfort me. When I believe she needed that more than me.

People were already looking forward to give God what they can at the start of the camp, to serve the community etc. These are youths and teens I'm talking about, and there couldn't have been any other thing except the love of God which motivates us to commit. And He never shortchanged us. He blessed all the groups when we went out to do something for the community around.

For example, our group proposed the idea to give away free coffee and tea at our area. When we reached there, everything didn't seem right. It was raining and everyone at coffeeshop had already ordered drinks. The coffeeshop uncle looked really busy too. But things worked out eventually. The people were friendly and some of us went door-to-door at the nearby block to ask them if they wanted to have free drinks. They were surprised and appreciative of our gesture, even though some rejected cause' they were paiseh. Haha. It was quite a bold initiative, I would say. But it was good! (:

All in all, I see some areas about my life which need some notice. Before I get panicky or pack for a guilt trip, I just really want to commit these things to God because He will help me.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JUVENAL CHAN. (:

I'm sorry that I'm four days late to say happy birthday to you. But I didn't forget your birthday. You may smash my head once you get back. (:
What can I say, man. We've been friends since secondary one and we were like the weirdest people to each other when we first met. I can only say life in NV would have been boring without you going crazy with me. Especially in sec three with our water bottle dance, siew mai song, and so many things we went through. (: And you're like my across-the-bridge partner in class, then we'd start looking at each other through the foolscap hole thing. You have brought so much joy to people around you. I can never forget the times you were there to comfort me when I broke down because of studies. There were just so many times. Thank you for just being there. I really appreciate your presence budbud. (:

It's your year!

My eyes grow bigger as they talk about what we're going to do as one SFC. And I don't want to miss it. My heart yearns for great fellowship during this camp that will unite and truly bond the whole of SFC, without any monarchies or ranks. But as one children of God. I believe that's God's desire for us. To equip us and help us to be effective as one in our service.
Maybe I have been thinking more of 'Oh no, what am I going to do?' and forgotten about the fact that we are facing this all as one. I think it's a good reminder for me. Meanwhile, there will be a lot of liaising with others so I hope that we will meet with good and fast response. (: Somehow, it's easy to me cause' I've not went through it. I hope that even if stones appear along the way, I will use them as stepping stones.

When I start to tear one day, please remind me of what I said in this post.

the bus arrived

It has always been quite easy for me to share within my cell what I think, but the issue that got on with me that day was a little different. It was an irritant that has been clinging on to me for a while. Perhaps you can call it sense-of-unworthiness/put-yourself-down.
I really thank God that He got my attention to this problem. After all, I have been putting it off, either acting in ignorance or denial. Hah.
When Joe was talking to me about my habit of putting guilt upon myself, I can't stop thinking about what a teacher of mine told me before. It had hurt me a lot that I had disappointed the teacher because I was always putting myself down.
And I kept questioning myself while I was waiting for my bus which took quite a long time. Why, why does it keep clinging on, and it hurts so much, will it ever go. Something then hit my mind. Now, it can just leave now. All these horrible feelings and the habit that I'm so entangled with. The 'bus' (to live freely) had arrived 2000 years ago. Jesus told me that I am cleansed, whiter than the snow in fact and that I am worthy.
Will you board the bus? That's the step of faith that we have to take.
