You know, I'm more settled these days. Things are getting clearer. More settled. Know what are the things that I can put my heart in. Be it the area of growth or my studies.

And my friends are all turning 21, the girl friends that is :)

Below are some pictures from my neighbour's 21st Birthday. Hannah Hannah Hannah. That girl! She's really grown into a beautiful, matured women, stepping into a new phase of life!! So exciting.

She's been my neighbour years since our primary school days. I was only closer to her during from our jc days. It boils down to the regular jogs and study sessions together till the weeeee hours in the morning!

All the other friends are her friends from Jurong JC. I happened to join them for some of their activities, and we became close friends! I remember the last time we came together was exactly a year ago when we celebrated Hannah's 20th birthday. We rarely meet up as a whole group. But you know some friends, simply see each other around either in school or at a camp or when we jog, we somehow get to catch up with one another and ask about each other. A little effort amounts to a lot! And of course, as a group, there's this thing that draw us close. They are a real lovely bunch :)

This picture was taken when the birthday girl was busy taking pictures with her other friends. Like a wedding photo right? Cause of the flowers... hahaha..

And this is the door gift! A caterpillar! She came out with the idea and made the design all on her own! It has a meaning to it too you know.

Black = for the sins in our lives
Red = for the precious blood of Jesus to wash away all our sins
White = for us to be washed as pure as snow
Yellow = and God has prepared for us an eternal place for us in heaven
Green = we just need to grow in Him :)

This is the third of the 21st birthday parties I attended so far... so many more to gooo.. so exciting!! But what's more exciting is to witness how my friends have grown :) and walk with them into their 21st with hope from the Lord.

hmmm... mine is super super farr.. still have one more semester to go till it comes. But I'm looking forward to it. yay!

And as I was surfing through the net to find a song, I stumbled upon one of my favourite songs!

Click on the site would you? It's dedicated to all my friends :) Hope you'll be able to find the eternal hope and joy in Him. And if you have already found it, may you grow more and more in His love :)

Down at your feet, Oh Lord,
is the most high place
In your presence, Lord,
We seek your Face
We seek your Face

There is no higher calling
No greater honor
Than to bow
and kneel before your throne
I'm amazed at your glory
embraced by your mercy
Oh Lord, I live to worship you

It's time for me to blog again! The past few days have bogged me down with studying for 2 quizes, projects, outings, catching up with friends, planning parties, worship leading, youths, teaching and learning.

It's been eventful yes!!

At the beggining of the week I was down with flu and sorethroat! Besides being physically sick and having a lower level of concentration and participation in class and during projects, it didnt really affected my enthusiasm towards worship on Thursday:) Thankfully! It's quite cool actually - the worship practise and session that is! Quite interestingly, I got to meet up with new faces I never seen before in crusade and learn how to co-ordinate and lead worship! Thanks to my fabulous team!! :)

Last Thursday's message was on emotional freedom. And I took reaaal long to choose the songs!! Such a theme! Well, the pianist commented that some of the songs were rather "emo" and we decided to not play so much of the introduction or go to the chorus straight away. The topic is on emotional FREEDOM we dont want them to become so emo after that dont we? ;)

It's Sunday today. And I went down and help out at the youth. Some of them were having their worship practice just before the worship session. And it's really amusing to see those talented young teens switch from one instrument to another and can even teach the bassist while playing and leading worship (since the pianist was held up playing for children's ministry during practice). Multi-tasking! haha

Another highlight of my week was on Saturday. I was at the mosiac festival. And guess what??? My 2 very good friends were so engrossed with the the bassist from the Korean band Rock Tigers that we gotta dragged them away! haha - He's quite cute actually;)

So yar that practically sums up my entire week. This week's gonna be even more exciting!

God is a good God,
A loving Father who provides and watches over His children.
Even when things dont seem to go right,
He is there beside me
I would not be that shaken. :)

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalm 18:2-3

I feel like I'm in a game of tai ti.
I have good cards.
But I dont know how to play them well.
Oh well.

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

When I went back last night, I was quite surprised to see my place decorated with chinese new year firecrackers and a table set up specially to put mandrian oranges. My mum has really gotten into the festive mood of CNY!! haha.

To think that I had to go back to school on Wednesday from 6 to 7pm for project work and just for one hour! and on Valentine's day during dinner time (which is to be spend with my friends!!) Oh well! The presentation the next day went well:) And here are some pictures to entertain you:)

These are my two bestest girlfriends. The one in right is Crystal and Cindy's the naughty one holding the sign over her.

When I just went in to bento box at Jurong Point, they asked me to smile and Jason took a picture. I didnt even know that they put a sign in front of me la. I get bullied by my friends!! hahahaaha

Well here's a better picture.

hahaha..

And there was Crusade Steamboat yesterday! The turn out was till about 50 plus? We had 5 tables and here is my good friends from my table:

And we went for dessert at the place further down from the steam boat place:) And since there wasnt enough seats, the guys had to be the poor ones who sit in the road side to eat ..haha. Cool pic!

A closer look at the girls :)

Oh OH OHHHH.. The most funniest thing that happened yesterday was that...

There was this guy wearing the cai shen ye outfit with his whole face painted red. And he came behind Cindy and Crystal to give them well wishes.. And and they turned around and both of them screamed their hearts out!! and Cindy in shock fell to the floor... hahaha... okok, they are so adorable! hahahaa.. really had fun with these people :)

I'm quite happy today! The whole bunch of youths and young adults headed down to Kallang Sea Sports club for.... Dragon Boating!!!

It's pretty easy dragon boating actually, just that the physical strength and coordination makes all the difference if you wanna go fast :) Our dragon boat team won the race of course (out of 4)! haha.. Most of the young adults were on my team. That's the reason! And yes we were enthusiastic about chasing all the other boats and giving them a good splash. haha..

The instructors (graduates from ngee ann poly) did allow some of us to stand at the front of the boat. Initially I was quite shy in wanting to go up and try. But at the end I didnt give it a miss. haha :) Those that went up, the rest tried to rock the boat till the person topple. But it wasnt that hard to balance yourself actually once you get the momentum of the rocking.

Ohh.. Racheal was my partner and I got to know her and others a little better. She rocks man.
haha.. Managed to catch up with that Mr He too. haha.. Got on his nerves the whole time round (in a good sense of course!) :)And my friend Mr Ong is super happy today hor? :)

My heart is actually quite settled now that my application has been submitted. Well results are out on the 22nd of this month. Wish me all the best people. I'm on another journey with Him and I'm a happy child of His. Let me reveal in Your love.

Work on the other hand is piling up. With commitments I know I must keep. Just had this accounting test that constitutes 20% of my grades and I just did what I could. Ting, it's time to get working! And a slacker like me really need some pushing and discipline. Yupp :) So cheerios to studying with my girl tomorrow!

Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

I cant wait for Thursday! It's the campus day of prayer! Yesterday, a group of us went to put up the banner at Canteen B. Such a nice orange banner. Like the colour of my blog skin!

:) And I bet on this Thursday for supper, when we break fast, some people will stuff all the meat they can into their mouths! hahahaah... kidding..

Today I met up with Ju. I didnt know she visited my blog as well. I like to listen to her sharings. It's like when you are actually witnessing things happening around you that you just share and share and share!

And And, I cant wait to catch up with Dor and Edlyn and Izzy and Andrea of course! It's been so longg.. and I cant wait to hug Caroline :) hahaahaha... so adorable!

Currently on an msn fast for 13 days, I think it's doing me well. There's more time for me to do my work, to research on the things I'm to do, to take a back seat once in a while, sit down and think.

I'm using this time to apply for my Professional Attachment and considering exchange for my year 3 sem 1. A lot of adjustments to be made. Gotta change my group if I'm going overseas. This equates to having make new friends when I'm back in Singapore again in my last semester. Have to clear all my electives overseas. Which means I cant use them to up my GPA. And the job opportunities available in year 3 sem 1 is yet another tricky issue.

Despite the obstacles, I seem to have the optimism of just applying and see which doors are open and which doors are close. My results are put at a line, so are my friends, my comfort zone, my future job availiability and almost everything I hold dear. Once again, I'm put into a new area. An unfamiliar one. Maybe everytime I'm at a cross roads, God just want me to draw back to Him. Maybe things wont be so bad after all. Maybe He will surprise me. Yes He will :) I just love surprises!

Feel quite silly sometimes. Where I make decisions that like is illogical at times. And I tell myself it's illogical and not practical. But I still make them anyway. Just against me to do so and yet sometimes I just cant help it but fix it and go ahead. Maybe that's the mystery of life. You dont know what's ahead. Can imagine all you want. But you dont know means you dont know. Maybe that's the thrill of it.

Where certainity gives stability, the uncertain future stirs an even brighter hope.
