I have a reason to sing :)

Desert Song by Hillsong Music Australia

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through flame

I will bring praise I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conquer’or and co heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

I will bring praise I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

All of my life, in every season
you are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in my harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow

God is my victory and He is here

Jet lag?

The funny thing about using twitter is that most of my friends don’t, so I follow strangers(well, famous strangers) like Ryan Seacrest and Matt G on twitter instead. The next funny thing is that all these people live half a globe away and our time zone differences are glaringly obvious. When I’m up and active, they are preparing to say good night. And when I’m in bed, I will wake up to a truckload of updates from all these people. And I’ll have a hard time trying to catch up.. Haha. Twitter twitter. (: oh btw this post is created via Scribe. I’m loving this new software!

Tweets

What do you do when you are at work but you are refusing to do your work?

Twittering.

I tweet when I am bored lo.. Haha

Funny Fish.

Peiyu is quite funny! Don’t see her like joking joking, when she wants to be serious, boy she can really be serious. Many times I found myself going to her when I am in need of some objective opinions (not some biased siding), and many times I founf myself getting some good and kind advice. And I like the way she do things, the way she point things out and the way she lets you know that she is saying all these things for your own good. 

I should really emulate her. (:

Fishie, I am looking forward to school starting and FYP (althought might not be able to do with you) because it means can get to spend more time with you! Hahah I bet you are frowning now as you read this but haha I am serious when I said I am looking forward to school!

And Leepeng, remember what we said huh!

Slices Of Remembrances.

Snippets.

• Sunday was surf and sweat, a few games of intense captain’s ball under the extremely hot sun. Had Ramly for breakfast, saw another one. Slept briefly in the hammock and tried to hide from the sun under the big umbrella. Eventually got sunburnt badly, but the sun left shortly after 3pm and the storm took over. Lightning was harsh and thunder was deafening, so the four of us got stuck in the damn toilet for 2 hours. Couldn’t find Mari, but had a dramatic finish in the end. But good that we found each other and I collected my jeans from Pull and Bear. I bought Pocky.
• Monday was dinner with my dear Joy Lau. Simple fare, but we talked until the bubble tea shop closed. David insisted that JP is good for nothing but it really has more to offer than it seemed! Doesn’t matter though and it was a good session. (: Left shoulder continued to ache and I began to realise it wasn’t due to the sunburnt. Has it act up again? How could it be. Is it because I crashed to ground during the games on Sunday?
• OT-ed until late on Thursday, but I really didn’t quite mind. I wanted to buy more Pocky. And eventually I did, t he following day. Munching on Bill Hybels’s Axioms because its captivating and it made so much sense to me, taught me valuable lessons and respectable values that I should take up. My distillation column finally worked.
• My computer at work died on me and I couldn’t use it for the whole day. Tensions rose throughout and I really didn’t know what else I can do to help make things better. I really don’t mind doing anything, just as long as people don’t feel trapped in wherever they are. We shouldn’t be drowning.
• Saturday was SP friendlies, shoulder pain, movement slow, contribution(if any) insignificant, need I eleborate more? Miss Rudith because she pangseh us and never come for the friendlies. Service was good and cell was even better. Felt honored to be in the presence of God-honoring sheep who enjoy God and each other’s company. Went home to more Kim Bum and Hyunjoong. Awww, don’t emo my Kim Bummie. ):
• Sunday was all too slack. Texting people, lying on my bed, eating, reading, watching, surfing, stoning and really not doing much work. Refused to think about what I have to complete on Monday, playing with my dog and stuff. Tuition #1 got canceled and I was late for tuition #2.. because I missed my stop and my bus took me straight away to Changi Airport. Rode in the bus for super long before finally making it to my destination. Sat in the cold Starbucks and read my new book with my Ice Chocolate. Then went home to type all these. Haha.

This week looks good too. I love being an intern

• Monday: Ern’s birthday celebration
• Tuesday: Training (sighhh)
• Wednesday: Tuition or Dinner with Jo?
• Thursday: DWD (Date with Dew, hahah)
• Friday: Ministry Cell
• Saturday: Church
• Sunday: F&E (Free and Easy.. yet)

Shoulder, don’t crashed okay? And Dashboard is good for anything.

Cowebs forming.

Since my preparation to come back to Singapore to actually returning and to starting school and stuff, things have sort of been a whirlwind. I was looking forward to coming back because I was missing home so badly, but  at the same time was apprehensive of what lies ahead. Everyone asked me if I am getting used to living in Singapore again, which I find in my opinion is a weird question. Because I have been here all my life, what is there not to be used to?

But if you ask me if I’m missing Hongkong then yes definitely I do. How could you not miss having to do minimum studying, maximum free time and enjoyment with little worries about the many responsibilities that swarmed you? But I knew I was sent there for a good rest, which I thank God that I got it. And while I was there, God taught me more things than I ever imagine He will. Things changed and God assured, so even if there is anything daunting here now, I think I can face it.

And things have been more than good since my return. Glad to see my family, silly dog, the roommate, the friends, the cells and the church. Ahhh, how I have missed Riverlife! Now it’s really a matter of not returning to the old lifestyle but starting afresh with discipline. I never thought I would say this but discipline, is really good for you and me! You want growth? Discipline yourself.

Sidenote, fun to be back at hall4 again. Now my hall 4 gang consists of wn, tingyi, shan, jo, chit and me. I can count rud in too I think, since she stays so near us. And happy to be back in the pool, though very rusty but still very glad to be back. I don’t even know why also! Then my hall is neat and clean and filled with food. I think chit and my wardrobe contains more garments from overseas than local after both our GSS. But I forgot to thank Shiying and Leeps for helping me to shift back to hall. It could not have been a smooth one without you guys.

School is the only unkind one. I’m not complaining seriously, the modules suck and that has always been the case. I’ve already mastered the art of finding joy in things and information that doesn’t make sense. The one dread is thursday, because I have a 6 hours lab session with a certain prof that is irritatingly unkind. Condescending to say the very least, judging on every occasion and demeaning in any sense.

Sick.

But I’m all for the familiarity and not big on changes. I miss being carefree in Hongkong but I love being who I need to be here back here. God’s assurance has been a big motivation and I’m looking forward to more here. Oh yeah, did I tell you I have a new favourite sport now? Not polo anymore. It’s TABLE TENNIS! TABLE TENNIS YOU KNOW!

And I’ve got a new hero and her name is FENG TIAN WEI.

To the Singapore Table Tennis Women’s Team: I salute you guys.

I’m going to watch the finals tomorrow! I can’t wait!

Till then.
