for those who read my post....

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

note that i didn't say merry christmas cos there's no such thing called christmas....

first things first... Jesus Christ was not born on the 25th December! apparently, it was some Greek god's birthday that day and people for some reason mixed this day together with the birth of Jesus Christ. And for your information, according to some bible scholars, Jesus was born somewhere around the month of September...

secondly, and more importantly, we should celebrate more on His death and the day that He resurrected cos those are the days that He set us free from our sins and gave a new life in us through the death of our old man and the 'awakening' of our spirit...

So it's important that we treat each Sunday meeting with respect cos it's that day where we remember His Death and our new lives...

well... sorry if i have offended anybody through my post.... cos i really feel we should not celebrate Christmas cos it's Man's tradition and that's not what God wants us to follow.... May God have mercy on His people and i pray that more people (and Christians) will see the light and stop celebrating Christmas....

anyway, people will take this chance to have a good rest then... haha....

argh... i lost my SD memory card that's supposed to be in my mp3... nooo.....
so sad la... if my memory did not fail me, i think i lost it in the MOE buliding outside the door towards the visitors' carpark file landing... sob sob.... :'(

AND i only found out that i lost it on SATURDAY because i wanted to listen to my mp3 on my way to youth meeting!! (i was at MOE buliding on thursday night because i was waiting for my dad to pick me up and i went strolling there to kill time.)

ALL MY PRECIOUS SONG FILES ARE IN THERE!!! (although i backed up my files in the computer alr la....) but still... i want my SD card back!! it's either i get my card back or someone just have to get a new one back... -winks at ppl looking at this post to buy me the perfect gift for... new year?- sigh... guess i just have to look out for a new one myself and starts drowning myself in the world of music :) lala....

speaking about losing things... i have realised i have lost quite a number of things for the past 2 months... shall do a list.... here goes nothing...

1. obviously... my SD memory card
2. my comb! for some reason, after a faithful night of combing my hair, i misplaced it somewhere in the house and i cant find it!!
3. my black uni 0.5 ink pen.... recently i just realised that i misplaced it (at home i think) because i want to use it to fill in the form for A*TS then i realised it's gone!!
4. my other half of my earrings... that one i dun have time to find but should be able to find cos i left it somewhere around the house.... and lastly....
5. time to study for my chem r paper and finish up my holiday homework.... wahh....

i guess i still have stuff that i have lost over that period of time which i cant think of it off-hand... I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY STUFF!!!
but since they are lost, i guess i can only either go search for it now or use other means to compensate for the lost... :(
well... i guess i shall stop here now and look for my lost items... byee....

hey ppl... it's time for me again to share about my gain in youth meetings :)

anyway, for today's youth meetings, we were split into the brothers' group and the sisters' group... to discuss some sensitive issues concerning either brothers or sisters... wonder what did the brothers shared... hmm...

oh well, shall share a little on what i touched the most during the discussion... what strikes me most is the verse which i raised questions about...

1 timothy 2:15 -> Nevertheless she will be saved in child bearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

well, sis shu fang shared with us that "child-bearing" has 2 different meanings: one is the process of giving birth to the baby and the other meaning refers to bringing up the child... which kinda means that child-bearing is a whole life process (wow!). then why does she (referring to woman as a whole) needs to be saved from child-bearing? Because in...

Genesis 2:16 -> To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you"

as a result of Eve deceiving Adam into eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, all women as a result will have to suffer the pain from labouring her children and have headache over the ruling of her children. Therefore, if both husband and wife exercises unto godliness with faith, love and holiness with self-control, then the woman will not have a hard time giving birth to her kids and raising them up... because God blesses the couple since they pursue him fervently... so cool right?? haha...
anyway, this portion once again serve me as a reminder that as long as we pursue the Lord fervently, he will not shortchange us but will instead bless us abundantly. Amen.

so ppl, if u want to have an 'easier' time with your kids, you know what to do... haha...

Oh, and one more point which mildly struck me... that in whatever we do, under normal conditions that your husband is not some great time villian, we must let the men to have authority over us and if we found anything wrong that the men did, we must tell him nicely in love (to kindly correct him and to edify one another la...), not to tell him in a command manner because Adam was first formed. I Amen to that too :))
_______________________________________________________________

haha... now on to more funny stuff...

After meeting, me, jingfang, shina, lilian, faith and xinghui went to velocity @ novena square to go to haagen dias (is this how u spell?!) to eat ice-cream. Then halfway while we were eating, xinghui saw sis xinyun and starts to waves at her 'radiantly'. However, at the same time, there was this guy waiter who walked passed our table, and jingfang and faith thought that she was waving to the waiter and had a shock in their lives... haha... it was so funny can... everyone of us laughed like mad la... thinking that she was trying to catch the waiter's attention.... if i m not wrong, the waiter did waved back to her right? [too bad i didn't catch that though... so sad... :( ]
but anyway, after they got clear of the situation, they started laughing like crazy... like for so long can?? then ppl around us must have thought how come got this bunch of siao zha bos laughing madly... oh and then sis xinyun and sis serene also came to know about it and started giggling... haha... what a funny misunderstanding.... hahaahahahaa....

well... guess i shall stop here.... dun wanna bore you too much with my long entries... haha.... hope to blog soon :)
_______________________________________________________________

P.S. pls pray for me cos i will be doing an audio list for saturday's youth meeting and i need to look for ppl... pray that i will get ppl who are responsible and are willing to serve... thanks :D

haha... wanted to post something for the past few days one... but then i am soooo busy till i have no time to blog about my life story. lol.

anyway, here's a recap of what happened for the past few days:

tuesday: More mass dancing and cheering... especially ogl cheers... we were like super hiong during games la... disrupting other people's games by doing the ogl cheer. lol. i had a great time laughing till my diaphragm hurts manz... haha....

wednesday: which was yesterday... spent my morning slacking and sleeping :) Later in the afternoon, went back to school to do video for house comm for the upcoming orientation. well, but in the end, timothy did all the filming and editing, leaving me to slack. hmph... anyway, the raw footages looked very funny and i thought that the house comm ppl did a very good job. Kudos to house comm... well, while timothy is helping them to edit the video, i was there helping pauline to record and burn the skit that they had done during farewell assembly and doing the co concert video and labelling+clearing up the old tapes that are lying around v26... argh... hard work manz i must say... haha.... well, luckily the house comm-ers were there to entertain us with their jokes and comments and blah blah... so i guess yesterday wasn't that bad after all... :)

today: was suppose to go to IMCB to clear up some final stuff before doing my report. perhaps can spend my time there finishing my report! ha. can finally finish some of my homework alr.

but oh well... the rest of my holiday schedule leaves me NO TIME to study for chem r paper, finish maths homework and econs holiday report... argh.... I HATE HOLIDAY HOMEWORK!!!! but then, as a jc student, guess i need to adapt to such an environment ba... Thank God jc life has got only 2 years... cant imagine how i would survive if it was 4 years!!

well, got to go now... need to get ready to go to IMCB! If there's time, I shall come back tonight and blog :) hope the freshmen list can come out as soon as possible so i can start calling... heex... :)

Did A LOT of mass dances today... haha... super tiring... but super fun too....
I can finally get to do my NEUTRON dance again :)
I need to go practice my running man though... :( tough luck!
But nvm, i guess today's mass dance and cheering session was fun... Good workout for me too... though i almost died after doing like close to 10 times of dances.

I received a sms from Dr. Lim: No need to redo experiment... result looks fine...
yay! finally dun need to redo the experiments again :) Thank God....

ha... this is so cool... my second post of the day.... hmm... i wonder if i could do that everyday... woah... if like that i will sure spend lots of time blogging manz... but anyway, if it means that i could reflect on my actions at the end of the day, why not?

Well, this post will be dedicated to what i have gained from the youth meeting today... so here it goes...

Today's youth meeting is still on the saints' sharings on what they have gained during the conference held on 3-6 dec and 2 special nights' meetings on the 8th and 9th of dec. well... apparently, i did not have the courage to stand up and share cos i found my enjoyment a little personal... but then as ee shan said that if u stand up to speak, u will gain a lot... guess i have lost a lot by not sharing today :( soo... to make up for the loss i will be sharing my testimony later... but for now, let me recall what was being shared first :)

Bro. benard started the ball rolling by reading a lot of verses from 1 and 2 timothy, 1 corinthians and 2 peter (and some more others which i kinda forget). But, while reading through all those verses, his main point was that we need to run the heavenly race such that we can obtain the imperishable crown by running finish the race, we need to exercise unto godliness cos it's profitable for all things and on top of that, preach His word in season and out of season. Then after his sharing, sis hui nee stood up and continued to share on how we always self proclaim ourselves as kings in the house of the living God. Later that, many other saints stood up to share... was quite touched by their experiences with the Lord...

Well, throughout all the sharings, the one point that has the most impact on me is that we need to tame our mouths and not to gossip about others. Also, the point about prayers being very important also once again reminded me to turn back to the Lord again. I Amen to all the sharings and esp. the 2 above because i always fall short of His standards. Everytime when we talk to our friends, we will like to talk about other people's gossips that does not edify one another, but instead it may cause people to have misunderstandings with each other... Oh Lord, pls help me and others to tame our mouths so that we may not speak things out that are meant to be a secret. "If you have nothing good to say about this person, don't speak". Amen :)

haha... now my turn to share... well, there was this night meeting during the conference where our brother john so said that we should not sympathise with ourselves and that we should tell the Lord that "I am like that already, if u want take it, if not leave it" because He will sure leave it one... in order to become useful vessels for His house, we need to be able to submit to Him and let Him mould us. We also need to do things that pleases Him, even if it means doing things that we dislike, like always obey your parents. And well, that sort of reminded me of the time how i disobeyed my mum before the conference and how i would always go to my bed and cry to the Lord, telling Him how right i was and how wrong my mum was after we had arguements over things like the way i dress and my 'correct' behaviours. hmm... now come to think of it, i really need to exercise godliness by walking the way of the cross... that's why when you take a look at my conference booklet, you will see the sentence "I will not argue back with my mummy, daddy and ah mah-> 忍!!" haha... May the Lord grant me strength to really humble myself down before my elders and as far as possible, listen to their words of advice without doing the wrong things before the eyes of God. Oh Lord Jesus... mould me to be like u....

well, before i end off, i would like to share these verses to you all which i kind of pondered before the Lord and found it quite meaningful. Hope anyone who passes by my blog enjoys reading it...

2 Peter 1:5-10
"But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, to brotherly kindess love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble."

Amen. I love youth meetings :)

ha... as you can see from the title, you will realise what I have been doing for most of the time yesterday... painting banner....
That's right, I was painting my OG banner yesterday from 9am all the way till 1pm... although we started only at about 10 because the rest of the OG had went to get paint for us to do the banner and also because me and lynn was late for the thing too... haha.... oh well whatever...

Hmm... the painting banner turned out to be quite fun :) haha... once again, it's a time to get to know my dear OG mates better... hmm... found out the cooperative side of our OG and how much we could biah within a day to finish the banner... But then, i didnt manage to get to go lunch with them cos i wanted to accompany lynn to wait for lingxie to her a pair of shorts (lynn had earlier on stained her black vj shorts with the yellow wet paint on the banner... sigh... lynn ar, hope your shorts is clean now... :P)
But nevertheless, i think my OG group is gonna rock manz... err... sorry lynn, but no offense ar, i think we should start to get to know more about our OG mates better and not stay in one corner to ourselves cos we are going to be stuck together for another month so till then... let's be enthu man!!! haha... (well, if u are angry about what i have said just now then i can only apologise for my words lor... maybe i treat you back with hei bai pei? Oh btw, thanks for the treat yesterday :D)

Oh, and during lunch, my OG mates came up with the names of the 8 sub-legues alr... but i dunno what are they yet so i think i will update it during my next post... and ha, guess what i did while they go for lunch??
haha... i went up to my old hangout... V26.... lol.... to help yong wen to get the equippments needed for last night's band concert... before i go off to CGH for doctor's appointment for my legs. Oh, speaking about my legs, the doctor said my old wounds are recovering well (yay!) and that all i need to do now is to continue moisturise my skin cos i have sensitive skin... hmm.... but the fact that he asked me to apply the cream twice a day and apply the moisturiser 3 time a day left me clueless as to how to apply all of them within... a day? hmm... so i have decided to apply the cream in the very early morning and late night, and then spam my moisturiser during the long period of time... lol....

I wanted to go for band's concert to support randall one.... but too bad my mum doesnt allow me to chiong back to school after that to go listen and film with the excos and support my classmate :( but actually i also dun feel like going to the concert at the same time cos i was feeling very very tired after one WHOLE week of going out to school and IMCB. well, i hope that randall had a nice time playing and that more than half of my classmates who went there enjoyed themselves too... :)

Sigh, i feel that i have been missing a lot of fun stuff yesterday... well, hope that during the rest of the days to come, i will be charged enough to enjoy the full amount of fun during the OGL meetings and day camps... and also at the same time, start to do finish my holiday homeworks (arrgh...)
haha... and i will get my tagboard up by today... i promise... well time for me to go off now... see ya.... weeeeee...... :P

haha... hello people, welcome to my very new blog... haha....

well, in case you havent know, i intend to keep my blog as a secret until someone whom i know personally happens to see my blog and make known to people. So in the meantime, my blog will be a little "secret haven". haha. but "will it be long??". haha... hope it will be as long as ever ba.

hmm... typing my first post in IMCB... haha.... what a nice way to start off...?

Currently, I am scanning my Western Blot result (in the form of an x-ray kind of film) into the computer for reference... haha... actually, throughout the 6 months of on-and-off attachment period, i quite like the whole process of doing experiments, having so many errors and accidents along the way, and having to finally mastered the skill to produce satisfactory results. haha. CXM rocks man... haha.... Now, I am hoping that my current set of Western Blot and Immunofluorescence experiments can be successful so that I can spend more time on my unfinished holiday homework (sian) and Orientation stuff (yipee!!) ...

Ha. Speaking of Orientation... I have finally known my OG group...
Ayden...
under the 'sub-category' of Patriots.
Hmm... my sub OG group got 3 ppl including me... the other 2 are guys (eugene and shu xie)... that makes me the only girl there :P
lol.
well, to tell u the truth, i was not quite comfortable with this grouping because amongst the whole OG, i only knew lynn (everytime in the same OG one..), keng hua, wu fan and dawn. The rest never see or hear their name before one. Not because they are not 'famous' in school, but that I am too into my world in VJ alr...
But thank God, during the first OG meeting last monday, I came to know them in person (not very close though) and I found them to be quite nice peeps... quite on ones... haha... hope that this good first impression will not be tarnished during the next few meetings... :)

Wow... that quite a long and wordy entry i suppose... but cant help it what, my first entry... haha... anyway, i better end off soon and head straight for home... if not later miss my favourite 10pm show on channel u.... heehee.... (but more importantly, go home and have dinner).

Well, if there are any viewers viewing my blog, pls bear with the current design now... I will try to get a tagboard in if i can... and quickly change the design of this blog... so not like a 'sceret haven' la... haha.... byee...
