Sch'd officially ended~
it've been 3 days since i last went back to the sch lab.. yeah, sch's officially ended for me.. now i'm left with nothing to do but to try to look for a job.. tmr's monday, but somehow it feels so weird that i no longer need to go back to sch early in the morning.. not to mention abt going back for choir pracs on thursday evenings..
the past 2 days have been a quite fulfilling days for me.. remembered wendy asked abt how exactly heaven look like.. to me, it've always appear to me that there will be angels playing the trumpets, beautiful rainbow that encircled the throne where the Beloved Father is sitting.. with myself and everyone i know sitting on a table on the clouds enjoying the presence of our Beloved Father.. mm.. sometimes i wonder, did i get this impression from some kind of drama shows or books?
when i went back to the book of revelations, there i read once again abt the events that happened when we first enter the heaven.. it was indeed a renewal experience to have as i read thru it once again.. it've really refreshed my mind once again of what the Father have planned for us when it's time to reunite with Him once again..
i talked to wendy till ard 3 plus.. slept at ard 4am.. n woke up the next day at ard 7 plus.. piano lesson at 8.30am.. met wendy at 10.30am at city hall mrt station to help up at the forum organised by the singapore heart foundation.. met with one of her jc friend who's going to murdoch uni next feb too.. an interesting bro indeed.. always gave a funny expression when wendy talks.. haha.. wendy is indeed a 'crap-py' person.. ok.. now i know that we share something in common.. =P
after the event, we attended wesley methodist church.. it was a rather traditional church.. though it was my first time attending methodist church, i could feel the presence of God.. hee.. i always find myself sitting at the sides of the sanctuary.. i feel that that's where i can feel as ease so that i can praise n worship God to my best.. i've got to admit that at times i'm still very self-concious.. this is really something i need to work towards to.. for everything we do is abt God, not abt ourselves..
overslept today n was late for the first service.. gosh.. went for the 2nd service.. was a bit confused abt what the speaker was talking abt today.. abt HS baptism.. but anyway, will need to clarify with someone soon.. after the service i left church for home straight and head home to take a really lon nap.. from 4-9pm i guess.. i think i wont be able to sleep tonight anymore..
yeah.. that's all for today.. really had a blessed week.. now i pray that i'll get respondents to my job application soon.. hee.. ;)
God bless!
When You're Tempted to Please Others
When You're Tempted to Please Others by Kay Arthur
Someday soon this earthly life is all going to be over! And what will matter then?
How smart, capable, or successful we were? How loved, appreciated, or applauded we were? How much we possessed? How much we achieved? How much we accomplished?
Will it matter whether we were attractive or ugly, smart or dumb, sick or poor, known or unknown?
No!
When this earthly life is over, when all is said and done, none of these things - which now seem so important - will matter.
Only one thing will matter on 'that day' - the same thing that mattered to Jesus when His thirthy-three years on earth came to a close.
When His life on this earth was over, Jesus could honestly say,
"I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do" (John 17:4)
When 'the day of the Lord' comes (and I think it will come sooner than we think), the only thing that will matter is that you and I have glorified Him on earth and have finished the work that He has given us to do indibidually.
To glorify Him means to live in such a way that our lives truly demonstrate who He is.
One of my weaknesses is seeking to please people - trying to keep everyone happy - and I have to remember that it is God whom I have to serve. He alone must be my God! If not, I'm not demonstrating who He truly is!
Am I - are we - doing what He has called us to do, to be? Or are we trying to fulfill the expectations of others?
God is our director - and our audience. We only have to please Him.
Jesus could say what He said in John 17:4 because He always and only please the Father - not Himself, not His family, not His friends, not His associates, not the crowd.
The question comes to us, then:"How am I going to know what please Him?"
His answer is simple... and yet not so simple.
Simple in that we'll know His will if we learn to meet with Him each day and listen to His Word.
First we must be in His book - the Bible.
Second, we must seek and ask His direction; then we must be still so that we can hear His still, small voice which tells us, "This is the way... walk in it."
Jesus' habit was to get alone with the Father. And this is where the answer to 'How am I going to know what pleases Him?' is not so simple.
There's so much noise, so much pressure - there are so many people pulling on us - that being alone and quiet can be a major battle.
But the battle must be won. If it's not, then the wrong things will matter, and we wont be able to say we have glorified Him on earth and have finished the work He's given us to do. When that happenes, our lives will be lived at man's direction, and we'll never satisfy our human audience.
Therefore, let's give Him thanks and do whatever is necessary to live according to His will and direction.
Nothing else really matters!
We are accountable only to an audience of One.
"Teach me Your way, O LORD;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God,
with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever" (Psalm 86:11-12)
God is Love
Sometime i do agree that its difficult to figure out what is love, that indeed God is love.. i also believe that one will somehow experience situations that God is simply not ard, even 'God is not real' esp when one had not experience God in one way or another.. that's why it really take a step of faith to believe that God is indeed our Lord and Saviour.. watched a vcd during cell gp last friday abt a pastor in africa was raised from death 3 days after being pronounced dead.. it was amazing and indeed a miracle that will indeed touch someone's heart of whoever have seen the vcd.. however, nothing can compares to the real live incident of how God have changed the ppl ard you after accepting Christ.. Both my sis n myself have become ever closer to each other after she've accepted Christ last last Dec in 2003.. we simply have an enjoyable time when we were discussing abt the bible, asking each other to recite certain memory verses..
lately, God have showed me a miracle that i've not thought that will ever happened.. God evidently put wendy into my life.. mm.. by allowing her to bump onto my website one day.. i reckoned this had happened to refresh me spiritually once again after my transition to covenant.. though i have been bringing my friends to covenant, wendy is one who've make a great impact in my life.. since the first time i spoke to her from a total stranger, am really amazed by how open we r to each other.. from the sharing of our lives to our personal problems.. and eventually to our spiritual needs.. am really empowered to see how her life have been changed before and after Christ have eventually landed His heart onto hers one thursday morning at ard 3am.. have gradually learnt more n more abt her struggles with the Christianity n other beliefs to how she eventually shed the first tear of God's love for her..
i'm really thankful for this sister who've also been a great encourager n advisor to issues that i've been muggling with all this while..
have been communicating alot with her, almost every night.. n gradually it feels as though we've known each other for yrs! though we've only known each other for like.. 1 or 2 mth? it's really amazing of how God can actually put us in the situation that we least expected to cause an impact to our lives..
i praise God with all my heart for everything He'd done in my life and pray that He'll continue to be the guiding light for both wendy n myself in the things we do to glorify Your most gracious name.. to understand n to stand firm in Your Name, that You are the author of our lives; God is love, and ppl need God..
Glory be to God, always.. Amen!
I Love You
I Love You by Galvin Sng
I love You Lord
For how You’ve been in my life
Just loving You
For all You’ve done to bring me through
For the blessings I’ve received
For the love that never cease
Above all else
For the cross You bore for me
Verse 2
I love You Lord
For how You’ve led me through thus far
Since the very day
You opened up my eyes to see
All the love You have for me
How You yearn to set me free
And now I know
I’ll never let You go again
Chorus
I love You, I love You my Lord
I love You, I love You my Lord
I love You, I love You my Lord
How deep, how wide, how great Your love for me
I love You Lord
宁夏
宁夏
歌手:梁静茹 专辑:燕尾蝶 下定爱的决心
宁静的夏天
天空中繁星点点
心里头有些思念
思念着你的脸
我可以假装看不见
也可以偷偷的想念
直到让我摸到你那温暖的脸
知了也睡了
安心的睡了
在我心里面宁静的夏天
那是个宁静的夏天
你来到宁夏的那一天
It's finally over!
After one week of struggling to get everything in place for the meeting of the final yr project requirements, it've finally come to an end to end my poly life with a full stop here.. after today, whatever i do will not be affecting my sch work anymore.. in other words, i'm freed from sch for now! yeah.. phew, 3 yrs.. which seems like less then 1 now, have just ended.. starting my work life in the work force soon.. but sighzzz.. still have not gotten any job offer as yet.. so i guess will be rotting for quite a period unless someone would just give me a ring for interview one day.. haha..
anyway, today's presentation was quite a stressful one.. the first presentation we had a few weeks ago was a more relaxed one with only my 2 assessors and my supervisors.. but this time round, apart from the usual 4 ppl expected to be present during the presentation, Dr joel lee, our sch director decided to sit in during the presentation! our presentation was supposed to be a 3pm today.. n we only knows abt Dr lee's coming at ard 11am in the morning! gosh.. the breaking of the news really stress us alot.. almost trembling.. sighzzz.. my project supervisor, also my personal mentor was trying to consol both me n christina as we were invited to sit with him b4 the presentation.. he was mentioning that our project was being considered to be getting the best project award for this sem.. that's y dr lee was seating in.. alvin was trying his best to talk to us to do our best, no matter if we actually cling the best project award, its not important.. in fact, i nv thought that we'll actualyl get it.. not to mention how overwhlemed when we heard that we're actually considered to.. that's good enough i guess.. i would say that we didnt perform really very well during the presentation.. but for us, we think that's our best for the fact that we've already tried our best.. in fact, everything was ok except for a few qns that've been ask by dr lee, we couldnt really ans.. but other then that, we've done quite ok.. we wont know anything abt my fyp results till it was released on the net together with those students who was taking exams.. i guess just hope for the best?
will be going to jb for shopping trip with christina, joyce n hui wearn on fri.. hee.. quite look forward to that day..
well well, what's over is over.. shall not think abt it anymore abt to enjoy the rest of the holiday i have be i actually found a job soon.. looking for students to give tuition also.. hopefully i get one soon! haha..
okie.. i guess that's all for today.. have not slept for nights.. time for me to turn in.. cya guys ard! nite nite n sweet dreams! muack! God bless.. =)
5 more days to go~
6 more days to go.. b4 my poly life in nyp ends.. time really flies.. in time to come, i'll be entering the work force, and making decisions abt where to futher my studies..
these few days have been a really tiring day for me.. though my final yr project experiments have officially ended, now its time to brush the assignments required for graduation of this module.. my last day of sch will be officially on this coming wed(yeah.. 6 more days to go), which is also when i'll be having my final yr project presentation.. some of my classmates have already graduated cos they had their presentation earlier this week.. but i really thank God that He's given us extra time to do up our stuff b4 submission.. for the fact that we've not even finish up any of them!! these includes the presentation slides, to create a webpage with information abt our project and not forgetting our fyp report which takes up at least 200MB of my disk space which nearly makes my com hang even after the slighest change made to the document.. sighzZz.. worst still, we've not even started doing up the webpage at all.. thinking that that would be able to be done really fast, for the fact that the templates have already been given.. hopefully it can be done my this weekend.. i really hope so.. but have really no idea how to start.. sighzZz..
have also been putting my thoughts on many important issues these dats.. since i'm entering the work force soon, wonder how am i actually going to find a job which i really like.. sent quite a few resume for job application.. but none have actually given any replies, except for one who actually inform me that i've given my wrong hp number on my resume, asking for the right one.. sighzZz... really cant imagine that actually happen.. gosh.. so in the end i need to resend all the applications..
the other issue is abt where i intend to further my studies.. no matter what, furthering my studies is a must.. but i'm really confused abt where to go.. i've got 2 choices.. first would be taking a uni of western aus degree course locally conducted by the psb academy.. UWA is in the group of eight, but it is a 3 yr part time course.. classes will be conducted 4 times a week.. 3 times on weekdays from 7-10pm and sats from 1-6pm.. that would mean that i would most probably need to take up a part time or full time job during the day time.. and that would also means that i wont be able to attend cg at linah's place on fridays anymore.. sighzzZ..
the other option will be to further my studies in perth in murdoch uni.. its a 1 yr full time course to obtain a degree in biomedical science.. it sounds like a good deal.. but that will mean that i will have to stay in aus alone for 1 yr.. ok.. ard 10 mths in fact.. what's actually holding me back is cos i couldnt find anyone to go with me.. sighzZzz.. afterall, studying oversea will also cost a large sum of money as compared to studying in s'pore.. however, i believe that it wont be that stressful to study in aus as compared to here.. but i really dont know how to decide!!! i'm really confused! arghh..
i really hope u can make a decision soon as the course at psb will be starting in coming sept and murdoch next feb.. really pray for God's enlightenment, showing His plan for me as to how He wants to serve Him through all this.. Also pray for wisdom and His Holy presence even as i run my final lap towards my last day of sch, for my final yr project presentation..
Hope all is well for u guys too! Luv ya guys for being there! =)
