you just don't know how happy i am!
really, i can't express how so proud i am.
the joy is all inside and i just wanna scream it out! NOWWWWWWW
so many great things happened today and i thank God for that.
my magic performance for teachers' day concert today was let's say, the greatest and definitely the best experience i will NEVER EVER forget!
i mean, look at me.
i think i have grown!
i am no longer the quiet and insecured girl.
in fact, i feel confident of myself!
i am not afriad to show people who i really am!
and that's all that matters right? ;)
i sincerely with with all my heart, love to thank all those wonderful people who have been constantly giving me your unwavering support. i feel it. and you know that i really appreciate it.
your cheers, your hugs, your pats, your encouragement, everything you have done touched me and truly gave me strength to believe in myself.
if that's not love, i don't know what is love.
thank you teachers for your very kind comments too =) have an awesome teachers' day!
seeing old friends again brought many flashbacks of how our friendships progressed and last.
i am glad that no one of us changed in any way.
had a whole lot of fun at esther's house! being random, crazy and just ourselves!
it's been quite awhile since i laughed till my stomach cramped, jaw-dropped.
i felt true happiness.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honour one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord.
(Romans 12:9-11)

the trophys look simply great!
and good bonding session with both of them too.
oh oh before that, bikila house coucilors went to have lunch together.

and i did something quite gross. haha.
cause aly couldn't finsih her food so i decided to eat her leftovers. and she wanted to eat my veggies.
randomly, she picked up this piece of meat which looked pretty familiar to me.

You set me dancing!
my heart is once again lifted!
let's just say, i can do much with a little faith.
talk about being sensitive to the unfortunates of the world.
are we being sensitive if we cared only for our own problems?
yesterday i felt burdened because i was feeling down.
to think that me being down is bad enough, four friends came to tell me about how unhappy they are. their problems, anxieties, worries..
they came talking on and on about their problems like they are the only ones facing problems.
whining. complaining.
once again, you're not alone!
brothers and sisters of this planet, endure and get up.
think of the poor, the sick, the homeless, the devastated, the hungry, the hopeless, the unloved.
how big can your issue get. honestly.
failing a test? getting muscle aches? got scolded by parents? uncooperative PW mates? stressed from school?
to think about it, the poor kids don't even have an education.
this reminds me of a song, Heal the World by MJ.
today i felt more peaceful.
reminded myself,
if we are faithless, He will remain faithful.
smooth stones were rough once.
i want to be like David.
using just a slingshot and five smooth stones, and the huge giant is defeated.
not just one giant, five strong, tough giants.
let every giant in your life right now be slayed with the smooth stones you have!

mercy
a good friend of mine called when i was taking a nap just now.
she was sobbing.
crying.
she said, "Toby is missing."
and she went on sniffing and telling me what exactly happened.
i was stunned and probably had no idea what to say.
i listened and i pretty much understood how she felt.
i tried to comfort her and thought of positive ways to make her feel better.
i hope it did.
i couldn't sleep after that.
it's the feeling of losing someone.
empty.
this is the first time this friend called, crying.
and i am convinced that no man is strong all the time.
don't worry ting!
God answers prayers.
okay now i can't express how terrible today is.
my faith is NOT shaking.
i am not being emotional, just honest.

i am drowned in my sorrows.
tears of healing, please.

oh my gosh! wow i just did this personality test and it's very much accurate! at least for me!
ACCURACY(personal's judgement): 80%
here goes,
Friendly Visionary
"People Motivators"
People and ideas energize "People Motivators." New people and new ideas are even more fun. "Friendly," "enjoyable" and "softhearted" are good words to describe them. Interpersonal skills are highly developed. They want to be in the center of everything. They may require reassurance that they are in fact wonderful and interesting people and they want other people around most of the time
Attention span, for both ideas and people, can be very short. While they genuinely like almost everyone, they may forget that you are there if a new idea or new person comes along.
The ringing phone is the priority.
They can be very informed regarding many areas. Brainstorming could well be their best activity. New, unconventional, and original ideas flow like a waterfall from their minds. They have the uncanny ability to come up with three or four different versions of a new idea before the rest of the group has digested the original thought. When it comes time to implement the idea they are often not around - they are now on to bigger and better things.
Deadlines make good starting points for them. Procrastination is the cause and missed deadlines are the effect.
Since everything is possible, saving the world is a reasonable objective. In their view, it could be saved in only a "few days." If they become involved in something interesting or exciting they could focus on the subject for many, many hours and not recognize how much time has passed.
They aren't likely to have many enemies because of their easy going, flexible nature and their genuine interest to serve others. They can, however, become impatient and annoyed if their ideas are restricted.
Internal feelings and convictions are very strong and they will persuade others to their point of view. Those close to them often get caught up in the energy of their new ideas and optimism.
They can be very good storytellers and humorists.

REALIZATION
answers to questions raised in my mind.
i know HOW God wants to challenge and prosper me in my life!
through,
THE PROBLEMS, THE TRIALS AND THE TRIBULATIONS.
the studies, the friends and the family!
All He wants me to do is to meet a need and heal a hurt!
i'm not sure if i'm already doing it or have i even started?
it seems unclear to me sometimes and i wonder if i'm actually doing it right.
putting my trust in Him gives me the assurance that He will make a way for me no matter what because His Love is so BIG, even bigger than all the hurts of the world, much bigger than anything else!
a big Amen to that.
summing up, life is a test and a trust.
and this, i shall place safely in my heart.
sometimes, i really wonder if i have a talent.
everything seems pretty superficial. it's feels as if i ain't good at anything.
well, i guess encouragement can be a form of talent huh.
being good at words doesn't mean you're a good encourager, does it?
being sincere at words makes the difference.
oh well, if it is to be, it is up to me.
TO END OFF, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST JIEJIE!! I LOVE YOU <3
as the old saying goes, ONE YEAR OLDER, ONE YEAR WISER!

i live with the Truth.
everyone's feeling so stressed now!
but everyone has 24 hours each.
and we can't argue with God for more time.
so why are we complaining about the lack of time?
and why do people say "running against time"?
wouldn't the time spent complaining and grumbling be put into better use?
honestly speaking, i am one of these people.
and i'm not afraid to tell you how imperfect i am.
God, please expand my capacity to do MORE in 24 hours.
HELLO!
i love choir!
choir has the BEST bunch of people i could ever ask for!
i TRULY enjoy every moment i have in choir.
no kidding.
choir sounds boring, slackish whatsoever.
i tell, NO.
it's totally a misconception and deception!
what you look is definitely not what you see. (if you get what i mean)
anyway, that's not the point.
CHOIR IS A PLACE THAT MAKES ME TRULY TRULY HAPPY :D
except for today when i had to take all the high notes for Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer. HAHA can't believe i upgraded to sing even higher than the sopranos! from a mere Alto..
dear ms foo, you totally over-estimate my abilities! but thanks for that chance anyway! =)
but of course in my heart, i will still want to belong in alto though.
BECAUSE OF THE JOY THAT WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS.
i sound deeply obsessed with choir. but it's the truth.
some think sports are the cooler ccas..the tougher people are in sports blah blah.
but let me say this, again,
THE GREATEST DECEPTION IS SELF-DECEPTION.
it doesn't make anyone a loser or less cool to be in performing arts or clubs and societies.
and i can fairly well just shout out that choir got COP for SYF.
it doesn't make us lousy right?
in fact, i'm not embarrassed to say it.
WE KNOW FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, WE DID THE BEST WE COULD.
there are simply factors that are of disadvantage to our choir for SYF. really.
yup so that's that, i'm proud to be in JJ choir!
=)

PW meeting at my house today was pretty good.
i mean what more can i expect?
i am sorry i messed my pasta up. it's usually my signature dish..but i guess i estimated wrongly the amount of sauce needed. Thanks guys for finishing it up anyway!
ikea chicken wings. yum.
lots of tidbits! sponsered by mummy(:
the meeting had its distracting moments definitely. haha we wacthed WALL-E while doing WR. and played guitar. listen to songs. talking. playing-a-fool..
it was fun!
and the day went by. evening.
emelia, xuxun and i talked.
quite long.
we shared.
we came clean and honest about our feelings.
and later, we made a deal.
about how we should remind and encourage each other to work hard from now on!
and about other issues that cannot be revealed.
we had the same sentiments for almost evrything. That made me very touched, and very happy of course, because i never realise that there are actually people who feel the same way as i do.
must be some angels blessing us huh.
i like this song by chen wei lian.
touching <3
