rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

have been MIA-ing for quite some time, thinking abt many things which happened this year
2006 is coming to a close, i'm happy to say that i learned alot this yr, making new friends, taking up new challenges, and facing persecutions in the face of christianity. I thank the Lord for making me stronger and strengthening my growth and passion for his Word.
sure, I'm not upset to admit how much i've cried over silly stuff and unimportant things, making a mountain out of a stupid molehill, making my sister cry, making my mum cry, doing stupid stuff that made everyone upset, lied horribly, breaking promises to parents, not doing qt etc etc(i really can list all the bad things i've done down!)
but hey, you gain some,you lose some.whats the point of crying over a loss when damage has been done? at least i've picked up strong and meaningful friendships on the way, and for supportive and great friends, I thank You.
this is becoming a little random, I beg your pardonI learnt many lessons this year, looking back, we should really count our blessings and praise Him for everything.I feel that life is really too short for us to mourn over silly stuff,looking at tsunami clips playing on channel newsasia, i've discovered how fragile life's really is. in less a day, more than tens of thousands of lives are lost. we should seriously start treasuring all that we have and not be in depression over little things. step back people! look at the world from a different point of view, look at your problem differently. everyday we learn smth new, everyday we make mistakes, we can always make someone's day, why not today? look at things positively,treasure what God has given us(:
to my friends, or just anyone who cuts her/himself, think abt it.(i shall put this in a crude manner)the blood that you lose when you cut yourself, isnt it more worthwhile donating your body fluid to a worthy cause, red cross for example, to save someone else's life?you mean you'd rather sit alone in a dark corner and watch your blood drip away than do anything to save those precious droplets?stop cutting yourself! do smth more meaningful if you really enjoy pain.go donate blood. TREASURE YOUR LIFE!if not, others'.
ok i know this sounds funny and stuff, but yah, i'm trying to psycho people here!go away if you start laughing):Lord I want to sing and shout out Your name, and give You all my heart and soul. I pray that you will use me Lord, use me for Your purpose. help me Lord, not to be selfish and unforgiving, treat others how You want me to treat them Lord, not how i want them to treat me.I pray that i will embrace your children with love and kindness and not judge them,for only fools judge others.Lord, I thank You for allowing me to witness your wonderous power and shaping me to become a better Christian in such a short period.miracles happen and for that i thank You Lord.bless me and keep me, prepare me for the darker and dangerous days ahead, let me nvr to stray away from You Lord. In Jesus Name i pray, Amen.

hello, back from chalet
slept for 18 hrs after that.hahah
it was fun,memories which i'll keep
after checking in,we played games and started getting quite high,until it suddenly rained and kinda of dampened my spirits, so spoiler
went indoors,and decided to play police and thief,since it was raining and there was nth else we could do,totally regretted it after that,because it was supposed to be a night game,and scary, if you know the rules.
me and yanyi did police.gosh sangeeta made me scream la.'_'
i opened thecupboard and saw a circle thing,looked like plastic bag,and it was quiet as well so i stared at it,and it suddenly went BOO.
'AHHHHHHHH!'
what the heck,and yingting and others in the room started laughing at me,because i jumped back at the same instant.
eh,not i not brave ok,you go try la,the whole room was like dark,and some stupid plastic bag starts talking.RAHH
sangeeta was wearing orange somemore
[plastic bags are orange red?]
rain stopped,started fire
i love lighting matches,haha,lousy jiahui dont even dare pls.lol
yanyi's the pro in starting fire,the other 3 of us didnt exactly made the fire burn enough
lots of leftover food,had a hard time clearing them up the next day
tied plastic bags till my 2ndfinger was sore):but nvm, water bomb games were darn fun(:
we looked like crazy childhood deprived pple screaming like mad,yay our group won! i threw a waterbomb at the candle from the top and it extinguished.HAHAHA,and i went like byebye the other group,you are so gonna get bombed:D
cleaned up and went for night walk,wah lao,dolly so unglam,she insisted on going into changi village hotel's toilet to freshen up,she even asked the doorman where's the toilet pls!we were laughing like mad opp. the road
auntie ah
initial plan was to go night cycling,but mr.bike CLOSED.darn,and jiahui reminded me it was like 11pm alr.):
so sad la,i really wanted to cycle.in the end went to eat cockles and cereal prawn and sambal kangkong.so weird la,who eats like 1 hr after bbq?
cockles was disgusting,blood all over in the shell,yanyi insisted it wasnt blood,body fluid she called it,haha.
talked a little,and aruna was quite freaked out by the cat behind her,samesame,haha
went back,shifted 'mahjong table' upstairs,and accidentally scraped off a whole stretch of paint from the staircase):
tried teaching us mahjong,quite clueless abt it then.min gee was like PRO,she heard one time then can play alr,i suspect she play before.hahahha
i kept asking qtns,got peng,chi,gang,an gang,hu,ting pai all these,and like why some cards can put out some cannot?whats that stupid bird,why extra cards and stuff
yanyi taught me aruna and weiting quite alot of card games.aruna and weiting were like struck dumb by bridge.hoho,its the trump card damn it!LOL
didnt slp at all,went to beach arnd 6.30 to watch sunrise.view was fantastic.took photos then went back like a dead grp to chalet to catch a nap,cleared up,checked out
hand itchy and i really wanted to master mahjong,haha so went yanyi's hse with jiahui and min gee to play more:D
WAH,MAHJONG IS DARN FUN.
feel like playing now,heh its quite easy i'm so idiotic to master it like only after one and a half yrs,haha
played somemore card games then went home
still thinking abt some stuff,kind of disappointed also,oh well

i'm growing fat lately,do you know eating supper makes you fat?yes, i read an article from some newspaper and it turns out that supper also prevents you from getting a good slp, as your body gets to work to digest the food in your stomach while you're slping,when its actually supposed to
rest.brainpower wasted
I GREW 1CM,AHHAHA BIG NEWS.
