The one with anticipation...
You know, today's edge sermon was so good. Really. I mean, it was about unity and all, but i don't know why it hit my heartstrings (such a nice word! haha..) It was a highly reflective sermon, at times too reflective that i didn't hear parts of the sermon. But still.. i guess what was preached was what i had been sub-conciously thinking about so much these few days.
Jeremy said something about Living for the moment. Then i thot of like, what Caleb was doing the day before they finally went in to the promised land. You know, like, he knew it was coming.. and what did he do the day before? Like, 85 years old, did he rock in his rocking chair, smoking and drinking jim, cool and calm about everything.. or did he take out his sword, polish it, keep on reminding his children, descendants, that they were going in to win and take over the promised portion bound to them.
I think he did the latter. 85 years old, still highly energetic, hopeful, confident, just waiting for the morning to come.. I guess he couldn't sleep at night.. tossing and turning. All becos he believed in the moment. Believed the promise of God. SO MUCH so that it compelled him to such excitement, to such faith.. and confidence of taking the land. I bet he did a count down after they were denied the promised land for 40 years. He must have had some calender thingy that went like 10354 days to the promised land.
He must have done all he could to prepare.. and i know he did prepare.. cos he trusted God so much so much.. and he knew the moment was coming. All this becos he trusted, he knew that God was faithful.. and he believed the moment.. the payday for him.
I then thought bout my own life.. like, i know my payday is coming.. my moment.. our moment. I mean God promised us the harvest. We may not know the actual day.. but we know its coming.. infact, its already amongst us. I realised that if i'm not excited about it, i dun do anything about it.. then it shows one thing. I don't trust God alot then. My faith in Him, in what He says, well.. it isn't all that strong then. And without faith it is impossible to please God.
Haha, then, after i realised that, i realised that i wasn't listening to jeremy anymore.. haha, so i started listening to sermon again. haha.. but a good reflection huh??
Payday's coming people.. let's rock this nation for God. Imagine, everywhere you turn to, you can't turn away from Him. that's what we want isn't it? A sister once told me about how in Canada, every street has one starbucks. EVERY STREET. Like, Jurong West st 43 has one.. 42 has another one. You can't run from it. Imagine that for churches that preach the God of the bible.. that's sold out for Him. WOW.
WOW. Honestly. WOW. So amazing.. we'll be practically living in one big church. Cos everywhere we turn to, God's there. Drug addicts, runaways, the brokenhearted, the drunks.. no matter where they try to run, they can't hide from His presence. They will turn from their wicked ways and to Him.
WOW. Payday's coming.. let's start working..

The one about Singapore Idol..
Okay.. Olinda's out. I'm not really afected bout the results, altho i wished it was Taufik that went out. I mean, i know he's good. i admit. Just.. dun like him.. and NO. Its not cos he'a a mat. I sorta thot Oldina's voice is really powerful..
But today's Sg Idol felt weird for me.. cos all these weeks i've been looking forward constantly to Daphney's performances, and well, today she wasn't around, and Sg Idol just doesn't feel like Sg Idol anymore..
Tsk, tried to add something to my blog but it turned awry. Haha, anyways, the Official Singapore Idol Website . Okok.. Up up and away!! See you folks.. btw, my re-exams are coming, Mon to Wed.. Please pray hard.. =)

The One with the drama serials.
Ok, we're drama crazy. More specifically, The Champion crazy. We're groupies. haha, was saying on a error-ed entry yesterday, that we were rushing back yesterday after prayer meet to watch The Champion.
haha, bad ending. Really. I thot they tried to force a good plot into one episode, cos 21 or 22.5 episodes serials are so not possible. At least they think its not. Must be 20, or 50, or 60. Just not 23. or 27. You get what i mean. haha, so it became a squeezed finale, which had so many loopholes.
Okay, just to show that i'm a drama buff, i wanna say i knew Jinxiang and Apple would end up together long before yesterday. Haha, i'm drama-pyshic. haha.. Yea, lots of other plots were not expanded, like Zengkang, and Anni; did they stay in sg? And yilin, how far exactly did she go to show she was sorry? Kaixin and Jiajun didn't have a proper closure to their r/s. AND the Hai Ou, or seagulls. COME ON!! Viewers wanna see how malu-ed they are by their lost.. that's what makes a series good. Haha, we didn't see no flying fish poke fun at them.
The biggest downer has gotta be Kaiwei, Jing Wen and Yixuan. Sigh, i know its a vote and its a fresh idea, it doesn't go beyond like, after we know who goes with Kaiwei, we dunno whether they will get married or what.

I vote Jingwen. She sacrificed too much. She's a nice girl who i tink, deserves something good in the serial. I mean, stop making her so pitiful Mediacorp scriptwriters..... father dies, sister disabled, brother always kena beaten up. if no boyfriend somemore.. man. haha.
I really think we should petition for a second season. haha..

The one where its 3.22am..
I got to bed early last night, bout 11.15pm, hoping to have a good long night rest, and to wake up early and all. BUT, my mom walked into my room for don't know what, and just walking alone woke me up. I actually really dislike people walking into my room when i'm sleeping, when they don't sleep there. I can't stand it, but i've learnt to live with it.
Thing was, my neighbour on the floor above was making soooooooo much noise. I don't know if its because of Ramahdan being over, or whatever, but its like, they kept rearranging the furniture. I mean.. that's like at 1.00am in the morning la! And they kept jumping ard, pounding their feet; either they have elephant steps or they are just out to irritate me, which btw, i tink the latter is true.
And its not the first time; in fact, it has happened so many times before, really, and its really pesky. Sometimes, i get so mad i feel like cursing them. Recently I've learnt to bless them, haha, by praying they get richer and move to somewhere else, or have enouhg money to soundproof their floor. BUT tonite, tonite... tonite, it was really ARGH. I mean like.. stop it. really. STOP.
Arh.. can't stand them.
So here I am, making a short entry..

The one with senseless poem.
I rmb the funny poem we had for our lit mid years. I'm inspired to write one now...
Crazy enough?? haha.. its a movement which i call the "Remember the matches" movement.. haha..
The murdocs.
The murdocs are a funny race,
The murdocs are a funny race,
Of pointy ends and rounded face!
Employed when needing form of light
Then sacked quickly, erased from sight.
Their selfless act; kamakazi-styled,
Brings them face to face with enemy ground.
Scraped and scratched, and deformed, no less,
The only tribute? A blinding arrest!
After cuffed together in a bundle,
The murdocs are mistreated; left in a mangle.
In the void! In the black hole!
They've served their purpose, and they were bold.
But the only recognition they receive,
Is but merely a blinding release.
Poor murdocs; they leave great legacies,
But none pay attention to their painful histories.
No one knows the murdocs' importance,
Nor of their deaths, which, should be reveranced.
They are but passing lights
In the vastness of night.
Used and thrown
Their contributions unknown.
I named them Murdocs in my poem
But Matches is what you call them.
-desmond.
Crazy enough?? haha.. its a movement which i call the "Remember the matches" movement.. haha..

The one with the beautiful song.
Ever felt as though you've failed God? Failed ppl? Failed everyone and yourself? Ever felt like a big fat failure? Ever felt so shameful that you screwed up?
..when we give stuff up, there's this certain strength that comes. Think about when we give it up.. but to God, what kind of strength comes. His JOY. His strength.
Don't ask me how.. I never know. But I'm always awed. My God is an awesome God..
I keep forgetting that great Love. I keep looking towards myself and see the failures and the nonsense and unworthiness in me. Do we forget that great Love has conquered all?
"Hey, I'm still your Daddy you know, I can still make things happen for you!"
"You don't have to understand why God loves you, you just have to know."
How true that the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
...be able to love God with an attitude as such. To give without fear of losing.
Cos in Christ, all unworthiness and class and ranks have been dispelled."
--from feb to april.
I give this song to you guys out there who are going thru times you don't understand.
And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live..
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain,
then Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live..
Come to Jesus, Chris Rice

The one with the random thoughts.
Random. You know? Like boom, bombshell drops. Boom, chicken pie crust crumbles. Boom, the blue pen's leaking? Haha, random.
OK, i got my results back man. Haha, all glory to God, who knows i'll prob rot the hols away if i dun study. Yah, I'm taking a re-exam, to get my shot at passing just one more A. So O's people, if you're reading this, which you shouldn't be, i end prob later than any of you. I end on the 24th. Pretty much stinks that i end the latest, cos last year when i took my Os, i was the last one to finish too!
But you know, as the saying goes, which i might add, is a really really true and good saying... nice guys finish last. Haha, yea.. what to do.
You know, i got this eye prob. I've been having all kinds of probs with it. So yea, i missed edge... again.
I'm thinking what else to say..
thinking...
still thinking..
ok. I'l stop telling you i'm thinking cos i can't think and type simultaneously.
Ok, I guess i'll say that i don't know where the Great Monsters sweet came from, cos my parents didn't buy it. Someone gave my brother, and GASP. Yes, i took it without asking. - weak smile - My cousin gave him, think quite a few.. I really don't know la, my cousins have this weird ability of whipping out all sorts of funny sweets from funny places.. not as in take out from their hair or fingernails kinda funny places. As in, i have no idea where they buy it from...
Anyways, i give up. I'm taking so long to write the entry today, when i usually just write, write and away.. random thoughts are no way easier than structured focused ones.
I'll end by wishing colleen a happy birthday. Be blessed..
Haha, a first in my blog!! Pink coloured fonts.

The one with the coloured tongue.
Haha, got your attention angel?? Haha, ok a short one. I have a coloured tongue!! Haha, and i didn't realise it until i walked into the bathroom to shower. Apparently it was cause by some weird sweet i ate, that i don't even know came from where.. haha, just saw it lying on the table so i took it.
So angel, "great monsters" is its name, dyeing your tongue is its game! haha, go hunt for it some day. haha..
Its been raining the past few days. I gotta admit. i love rainy days, esp just before it rains, cos its all dark and my room will look extra cosy and its lke the best weather to watch a movie at home. But the down side?? My clothes don't dry that fast anymore. Rather irritating. anyways, rainy days are still nice, for me at least..

The one with the first very relaxed sunday in months.
Ok, haha, a relaxed sunday. The video ppl and joel and john played badminton in the sanctuary for most of the afternoon, and a few of them jammed while the badminton was gg on. We haven't been this relaxed in months. haha, cos promos are over and stuff. I? I didn't really jam cos i dunno any instrument, and i'm a singapore idol reject, haha.. no lah. was pretty relaxed that i was too lazy to do anything. So just sat about and observed.
I observed this old lady from chinese con today. I've always seen her around, and she doesn't really strike me, as in, i won't go away thinking of her and stuff. But today she did. I realised today that i see her alot. And she's always with that smile. She looks like a funny old lady, with a toothy smile. And realising that she's always around, today, struck me hard.
She's so sweet in nature, in actions. I mean, imagine, being so old, and like cartoon in your actions sometimes, but loving God so much. I mean, she's like a child in God. Really. And that is so heartwarming. She gets an entry. hahah, and alot alot alot of gold in heaven. haha.. She blessed my heart today, and i will appreciate seeing her around so much, cos it keeps me in check. That i must be at least as passionate about God as her.. if not more, cos i'm a youth. hahaha..
Okay, today sis sandy lam preached an awesome msg about giving our hearts really to God. She brought Pam, a bouncer she called her, to tampines to sing for her. haha, really commical, but the song was awesome. I first heard it from Pam in one of our worship pracs, and i cried buckets. Today, hearing it again make me think alot man.
The song made me compare myself at present when i heard the song at evening service, and when i heard it first at worship prac months ago. I dunno what to say bout the result of my comparison. Nonetheless, the past doesn't matter anymore. Sis Sandy said something about not living in our past.
I'll leave you the superb song, one of my fav since i first heard it. Bet you guys want it but can't rmb.. hahah (convincing myself that not only i think the song is nice)
Show me know me Try me and see
Every worthless affection
Hidden in me
All I'm asking for is that
You clease me oh Lord
Create in me a heart that's clean
Conquer the po'er of secret shame
Come wash away the guilty stains of all my sin
Clothe me in robes of righteouness
Cover my nakedness with grace
All of my life before You now
I humbly bring
Haha, got this from the net, but Pam sang Lord let it be, instead of Try me and see. I wonder what's right, but well, God reminded me thru the Lord let it be version. So who really bothers. haha, God is good. Haven't said that in my blog for awhile. GOD IS GOOD!!
Be blessed ppl.
