:: Food Hunt at ELBC! ::
I was so sure that I wouldn't be going, since I didnt think that Song Kun's stomach upset would be ok by today. So silly me didnt bring an extra set of clothes to change into after games with the Sec 2s!
And so, I ended up trekking into ELBC and through their food hunt with my super casual shorts and T-shirt and my runnning shoes. So paiseh, go for other people's church service dressed so informally! Although it seemed weird that I was not wearing high heels (as i usually do) , after the entire thing I realised track shoes are quite nice to wear too! haha lol...
Song Kun's church is so small and cosy that the pastor even knew everybody's names! How cool is that la! Imagine Pastor Malcom naming me as an example during service? Eh i'll be embarassed la!
Learned much today =)
"Well done my good and faithful servant, Dawn". That is what I want to hear from God when it's time for me to meet him. But meanwhile, Im not alone. I've got Jesus with me!

Oh! Invited Song Kun to help out at Bible Quiz too! Hmmz think it was some spiritual attack that he came down with stomachache since early morning! Thanks dude for coming down to help even when you started getting a headache! Really sorry for not asking u to go home earlier! Glad you learnt something today, even when you weren't in the best condition =(
Sec 2s came in 4th outa 8 groups! Not bad! We weren't first but it doesn't matter, cos we are all winners in God's eyes! =) Yeah! Don't forget k guys, GAMES DAY tomorrow!!! To award you guys, we are taking a break from lessons! =)
Overall, I saw God's hand in all that we did, because without God, all our work would have been in vain! Blessed are those who labour for the Lord because our reward is in heaven! Yeah!
3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for Jesus Christ! Hip hip hurrray! Hip hip hurray! Hip hip hurray! =)

:: Lovely Week ::
Relaxing at home and having God's peace. That feeling is just heaven on earth!
I never knew how loud and distinct God's word and voice could be. Now I know =) When God speaks, and I listen, I feel so happy about it! Why? Cos that's when I know Im obeying the right command! How can u claim to be obedient to your Father when you have never heard His voice?
Ooooh I just love my Lord for being so gracious even when I dont deserve it! Who could ever love me more than you oh Lord? No one! =)
Bible Quiz on Saturday! My lovely Sec 2s, we are gonna do our best for this quiz! Our Daddy in heaven sees our heart when we seek Him, so remember, winning is only a bonus! It aint everything! =) The first will be last and the last will be the first!
Cant wait for Bible Quiz! =)

:: 1st Day ::
Things have to go really really really slow. God's timing has to be perfect and His protection has to fully surround me. I need a clear direction and conviction before i make any decision.
Lord, I wait upon your Word.

:: Silence ::
No more confusion, no more shock. Only anticipation. Anticipation of what exactly God wants me to do. Being presumptious about God's direction before seeking Him will only end up in futility.
I dont know how God wants to reveal to me, but I know that I cant limit His voice power to only a week. God works in such amazing ways that gives me the peace in the midst of chaos. I ask: How do I know what God's will is for me?
I know that when the conviction comes, I will know it. It will be exactly at the most perfect timing as it has already been. No point asking how? how? how? All I should do is to make sure that my heart is open wide for the Lord to step in and take control.
Ironically, it will be an exciting period of voices in the midst of silence.

:: Mixed Emotions ::
Faced with overwhelming facts and heartbreaking truths, I didnt know what to do. I'm so sleepy now. I really am. The things that buzz round in my head just dont stop irritating me! Just give me a moment of peace will you?!
What should I do? What should I do? God, what are you trying to teach me? What exactly do you want me to learn? I dunno, I dunno.
I'm so tired.

:: Time Flies ::
It feels sour when you know that you have lost contact with some people. Yet again, you know that these very people arent really the ones you can depend on when you are sad and alone. My JC life has been fulfilling cos of CF and library. Class time interactions wasnt the place where i felt true warmth. Ironically, CF, that had caused me much pain during my term, turned out to be the place where I knew my closest friends and felt the passion that the juniors radiated after i left.
Mike, Clem, Mei Xuan, Lynsey, Winny, Terence, Clarise, Si Xiu, Esther, Michelle, Shuang Ai, Abi, Joel... the list goes on. These, a vast array of friends with different ages from different classes, yet I know I have not lost contact with them just yet.
Now as I look baack and think, the things that i always complain about at that point in time always turn out to be for God's divine purpose and plan =)
The joy of knowing that God is infallable sweeps me off my feet with immense excitement! Song Kun, maybe that's why u say my voice always radiates joy and excitement. Cos I have a God who's greater than anything else! =)

:: Psychonegenesis ::
To all the programmers, Oliver, Cheryl and Jingting, the camp wouldnt have been possible w/o u guys! Especially my dear Cheryl Lee! We were each other's sanity and pillar of support =) I'll never forget praying and talking to u till 6.30am on wed morning! Oooh i love u so much dearie!
To the logistics gals, Anna, ShiHui and JianQi, the only reason why the programs could run so smoothly was cos you gals were always there for us! Im sure u guys were as stressed as the programmers were! But we survived! Yeah! By God's grace =)
I cant forget the advisors, Kim, Char, and Shaun Goh too! You guys awakened the passion in me and were there for us when we needed! To all the facis who helped in big and small ways, THANKS!
Through it all, the one person I thank for constant encouragement and support, Song Kun, this goes out to u =) if not for the talks we had and the complains u listened to patiently, i think i might have exploded =P thanks for being the Angel God sent to me =)
When i was so so so tired and so so so hungry on wed night after finale night, too tired to join my group at west coast macs, too lazy to go with shu yi to fongseng, the very same Angel offered to bring me to Holland V for supper...with his cute cute brother Darren somemore! Wow I can only say that God's divine intervention was just at the perfect timing! =) So amazed at God's timing!
I had a great 6 hours sleep that night =)
Finally camp's over and I learnt so much from all the stress. Be strong. Choon's wish for me. But I believe im a Pockey Stick. Soft on the outside, hard on the inside. My angel agrees =)

:: SUPERMAN! ::
We started our day with lunch at lavender. Errr at Fort Road..Kun said he researched on the best place for chicken rice and the website said we could find it lavender. Hmmmz i think so far far east still has the best chicken rice though. In the past they put shoulder ham..now they dont, but it's still fabulicious (fabulous + delicious)!
Eh as usual..me the absent minded dodo left my debit card in the machine after topping up my ezlink card!Thank God some kind soul sent it to the office so i could get it back after lunch! Wat a silly i am! Must be too much stress from doing silly things like faci allocation =P
Song Kun and I had a lil tug of war (figuratively) as whether to check out marina square or suntec first. haha fine. marina. Marina Square changed so much manz! we lost our way a bit..hmm managed to reach the cinema safely in the end though!=)
Superman is such a fictional character. We were talking about humans vs God. Humans, no matter how hard he tries to be good, there will be a time where he falls. God, on the otherhand, does not have to TRY to be good, cos God IS good! His very nature is THE standard for goodness! He's our GPS..Guide, Protector and Saviour! (we learnt about goodness at cell on fri)
I learnt so much from Song Kun about passion for the Lord. My passion seems to be drifting somewhere. I believe that loving God is so different from doing something just cos im forced to. He says im stubborn. I agree. Im stubborn for the Lord, cos I love Him. Im stubborn for the Word, the Work and the Will of the Lord, cos Im created in His image. Im His. =)
Superman isnt super at all. He's afraid of kryptonite. GOD is the ONLY SUPER being. He is afraid of nothing. =)

:: Happy 20th Birthday Bestest Fren! ::
It's been SIX whole years since we knew each other and I just wanna say, I'll love you forever!
With the love God has given me, that love i give to you. My deepest prayer is that you find the true meaning of life and continue to seek the One who can give u eternal peace. I cant always be there for you, no matter how I promise, but I know a God who can. He's called Christ Jesus.
May you find yourself and the purpose of life in the midst of this crazy world =)
