the power of I.T.

at central library now, using my friend matthew's laptop to surf net.. juz chilling out now... cos yes! i've finished and handed ALL my assignments by now! finally it's time to slow down my pace abit and then get ready for exams.

in ard 30mins time i'll have to go for two lectures till 8pm... sianz...

but juz thinking thru fr wat ps jeff shared on sunday, if studying is a blessing from God, why always complain? learn to b grateful for everything i haf in my life. amen.

anyway, my elder sis finally gave birth yesterday to a cute baby girl! i'm a uncle now... no... i shall force her to greet me 'ge ge' next time, uncle sounds tooooooo old!

ok... gotta stop here, still need to do my chinese prep for tml's tutorial.

later i'm meeting cassian for supper... i'm so looking forward for it! oh and ya, before i forget, tis sat we're having brothers' night for selected ppl at rc... it's gonna b a grt nite of learning from each other and a super crazy nite too.... wahahahaha....

i've just realised tt my previous two posts had been done on wed. so i shall keep to it. opps! it's 2.30am now, thurs already... nevermind...

anyway i'm kinda glad tt i've finished all my four essays by now. one of them i handed up le, three of them which are due next wk.

i'm glad tt i'm relatively ahead in my school work though i can't say the same for my exams' readiness.

i'm looking forward for exams to be over, becos i got so many things i want to do!

wanna thx God for the change in attitude in my life towards time management and being discipline. remember last time i use to struggling w doing work on time as planned. always procastinate, but nowadays, NO MORE PROCASTINATION for me! i've come to realise tt God has given me tis life to live it all out for Him, there's always time to do many other things, slacking, entertainment etc.... but in allowing God to use me in making impacts in others' lives? only tis life. y waste it then? :)

i wanna make my life count.

recently God has been reminding me abt servanthood leadership. i'm a servant trying to lead, and not a leader trying to serve. let me remain humble before You God.

also i've come to realise tt God usually trains and moulds His people in areas one by one. He does His works within His children step by step, in which when His children failed Him, He'll just give more chances, in the form of retests. God is gracious, but i wanna respond to His love by not taking such retests. i wanna haf a sensitivity and obedience towards Christ tt i will submit to His Lordship and obey Him at the first instance, abiding by his Word constantly.

it's gonna b hard, i'm quite sure i will still continue to fail Him at times. but i'm willing to change. falling down is alright, not getting up is bad, not willing try to stand and walk is pathetic.

Gosh... really tired...

i regreted for a few things in my life...

1) i shouldn't haf choose a tutorial early in the morning at 8am. it isn't a nice feeling when u have to wake up at 5.30am to get ready becos bus journey to school will tke u close to 1 1/2-2hr.
2) shouldn't haf 'betrayed' my friend to get a same tutorial timing as dennis... cos in the end i didn't manage to be in the same project group w him and ended up in a group where some of the team members are rather hard to get along with.
3) should haf studied hard for chinese when i was younger(i mean i'm still YOUNG). espy for my han yu pin yin...
4) i'm regretful for all the regretful things i'm going to commit in the near future... (lame...)

but to tell the truth i'm really not someone who likes to cry over split milk. instead, i'll figure out wat went wrg w God and how can i bring out the best from my mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again next time. as i like to say... "IT"S TIME TO MOVE ON!"

currently i'm reading on the book of Galatians. it's some sort of rebuking letter(at least to me!) written from Paul to the church, either the southern or northern Galatians church- that's wat the study bible says....

i admire Paul's uncompromising and unapologetic style in his leadership and character. he is ruthless in his statement, in order to bring out the standard of God towards His beloved people. yet Paul was unique in the way of his tactfulness in the using of words and being able to bring across the precise message he wants others to understand... splendid! most imptly, Paul was not only just a powerful apostle, but the power in His ministry comes intensely from he encounter and experience with Christ. the only one kind of powerful Christian leaders in this world- leaders who love Jesus and walk with Him closely. i wanna be tis kind of leader. i want a breakthru in my spiritual walk... not just once in a blue moon, but everytime when i approach Him, i wanna haf an over-bursting desire to lift me up to another level of intimacy w God.

i wanna haf the 4 Rs daily:

Refresh my soul
Rekindle my zeal
Renew my strength
Redefine my motive and purpose

finally could blog!

been having difficulty posting in my blog lately as my blog's template seemed faulty. anyway i'm now mugging away at matthias' hse, managed to post my blog here, hmmm... seemed like the issue is with my com... sad sad...

anyway the past few days had been exciting to me. last sunday rdmm the sdls presented our plans and goals etc for the next few months. for ppl to know me well, i'm those kind of ppl who are thrilled at the thought of admin and planning(so weird rite?)... i tke pride in being able to finish up my planning or task well before deadline and to b able to present and project my thoughts and plans to ppl ard me... also, every closet has their own secret, and for me, actually i kinda haf tis stupid hobby, that is of keeping my room extremely clean and tidy. everything in my room must b placed at e spot they're supposed to b at, not even a difference in angle of placing. hai... guess those who came my hse before knew abt tis... i particularly can't stand ppl who break things in my precious room, many who tested it faced the 'condemnation of gideon's room forever and ever' whahahaha..... sorry weilun(broke my cupboard glass and slippers) and sunny(broke my decorative candle's container), i will try to change k, give me some time, or some years or... hmm.... let me think abt it and then get back to u.

on monday we went to tis ma la steamboat place to haf farewell dinner w ethan. e owner's fr one of a mega church in singapore n is interested in placing his restaurant as one of our church's membership privilege shop. the service was gd, and the food was really fresh... the beef was sliced so thinly tt u can just place it in the soup for few seconds n it'll b cooked... like especially the dumplings. the fried mantou was uniquely nice too, all of us liked it veri much, ethan wanted 20 of it at one pt, scary!~ went to the karaoke lounge after tt for free as the staffs show us ard... thinking of having ne reunion dinner nt year over there, chat w one of the staff a fair bit abt having special students' rate at there. after dinner(or supper?), we blind-folded ethan and brought him to the field, 1,2,3... and dozen of waterbombs was thrown at him... sad sad... of course revenge time came after tt, and it was war from the guys to the girls, all thxs to dennis!

yesterday was kinda of uninteresting as i had lesson from day to nite... chinese studies' tutorial was horrible, i couldn't understand wat the tutor was talking at all regarding ancient china's way in recording history... well, no one in tt class understand wat was going on exactly except those fr china... later on jessie and i decided to ponteng chinese lang lecture cos it's was basically a ptless talk by tis lecturer fr beijing university coming to share abt beauty of chinese... zero relevance to wat's gonna b tested in exam so nah... tt lecture was out for me...

as for today, i went to rc. initially was thinking of visiting cg, but actually i dun really haf any specific agenda for visitation, so decided to study there. objective 1: to haf an overview of how cgs in northeast r doing. objective 2: to set an example myself in studying and promote the use of rc as a studying paradise. great to see many new faces, indicating actual growth in ne. got to know quite a number of them, also had a grt time encouraging our co-workers for leading their grps so well, so proud of them!

ok... matthias is slacking in front of me... never die before... gotta stop here cos need to discipline him le... zai jian!

stupid freedy!

stupid freedy, hacked my blog and wrote nonsense! it's ok, got the whole nite to torture him...

what an enjoyable night ahead...

going to study super super hard tonight with my mOsT favourite sheep freedy !! He is so cool to be with. Not like Peter or John or any other sheep that re not even worthy to be mention.( esp matthias). Yeahz...

I will try really hard to slim down okayz. You know why? because just now i was approached by a man from the kfc company to be involved in their latest advertisement. not sure whether to be the granpa or the chicky chicken..but i am really sure its worth a try rite?...

Lastly, freedy really has been a blessing and a wonderful armor bearer for me. Really would love to use this space to affirm him for his presence in my life. The next best thing after my salvation in Christ !!

with warmest regards,
