Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12: 2

Rained heavily the moment I reached Serangoon Swimming Complex. God loves to joke... But this time round I'm am real determined. Went Syekit's condo after PM to swim with Guowei and Ruiyong. I did it! So proud of myself! ;)

i'm going swimming today!

Think I've been watching too much late night shows on Channel 5 last few nights. Been catching up on this reality show called Extreme Makeover. Their transformation are... amazing!~ But I'm not really that comfortable with the plastic surgery and all though, neither do I believe that looks should dominate our sense of self-worth and personal confidence.

But in any case, think it's always good to keep trim and fit. And keeping a good self-image is definitely useful for what I'm doing now and in the future. That's why I'm going swimming today! Just dragged Steven with me wahahaha!

Oh btw, went with Freedy to shop in town 2 days ago and saw one bag in Esprit. I knew that bag was destined to be mine the moment I saw it! It cost $89.90 but Freedy has 20% discount since it's his birthday month. Somemore the salesperson told me it's a hot item and that's the last piece! Got the salesperson to keep it for me since Freedy didn't have his membership card with him.

And yesterday I managed to try Pepperlunch for my first time! Tried it at the new store at AMKHUB with Debbie and Chantel. The price is amazingly ex but well I guess it's another new experience for me. Don't think I will be visiting it any sooner since my wallet's super tight nowadays...

Anyway I just wanna really tell NE how proud I am of you guys!
Here's some stuffs I am thankful for:
Sunday- Zhicai and Nigel met up on their initiative to share Christ and had one HISS convert!
Tuesday- Was attending JC guys' CG and witness how Kaiwen challenged his people for Easter passionately
Wednesday- Saw new faces for Weilun CG and after that when I alight at AMK bumped into Rachel's CG doing survey and outreach near AMK Central.
Thursday- Met Chantel and I'm so totally amazed at her passion and zeal for her ministry, meet Yihui up and heard from her how Layling woke up 6am in the morning to go Anderson Sec to outreach with her girls

With people like them, how can God not bless us tremendously? I'm so glad I can have this privilege to partner with you guys man!

Ok gtg now! Before that, something for both you and me to enjoy!

i'm back!

This is crazy! Didn't realise I've not been blogging for almost half a year.

Actually this is not the first time that I've stopped my habit of journal-keeping. Looking at my storage I have at least 5 daily journal booklets which I kept till today. The most consistent and regularly wrote was a small blue booklet which I used during my army years.

Some stuffs have been going on through my mind recently. Need to blog them down to ease my soul.

God has been speaking this term to me: AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN LIVING. This means so much to me. I desire to live a fully committed life with God. I want to taste life at it's fullest. To me, the worst thing that can happen is to lie on my deathbed with a life of regrets. So I've decided, only one life, I'm living it all out for Him. It's not gonna be easy, and I can already catch a glimpse on how tough life may be ahead. I'll take these steps with Him, no matter how many steps there are.

Yesterday I had a really nice chat over msn with Steven. This brother has absolutely impressed me. I'm so humbled by his simple faith and love for God. I think Steven will make a really remarkable friend. Hope to meet him up for lunch some time next week.

FRIENDSHIP- something that is having a stronger hook on me nowadays. Perhaps it's my age or a maturation of my being. Friendship means so much to me now then before. I'm learning to treasure those around me more- my family members, shepherd, sheeps, peers etc... I'm in a process of mastering the art of friendship.

That's all for today. Oh btw I can't help but to post this pic. Someone sold this in school last week. It's call cupcake btw. It's so elegantly designed that you wouldn't bear to bite it. Some of my coursemates went mad over them.
