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

A very much busy season

Haven't been updating my blog recently. Reason being this is a period when all the due dates of my school projects are nearing and I'm near to suffocation by all these workload!

Been living a rather hectic lifestyle for the past 2 weeks and have been quite a joke myself during my Malay essay and oral test. :X

But well God is still faithful to me and I want to be faithful to Him too!

Oh and the reason why I have the time now to blog is because I actually came to school for a tutorial and realised no one's in the class. Apparently there wasn't any tutorial homework uploaded in my school's intranet too so I'm speculating either the class' cancelled or my previous lesson two weeks ago was actually the last one. Well in any case just spent some time planning in my precious organiser and praying (grumbling) to God.

Ok my next class is at 4pm. Malay tutorial again! Man I promise I will never dare to take up another language class in my NUS' life again!~

*Praying for all my Os and As peeps! Jiayou people- Yeongdeng, Pete, Mervin, Rachel, Syekit, Donavan, Matthias, Shawn, Kaiwen, Yihui and Siewluan! :D

I don't want to miss a thing


Came home a little early today and was pleasantly surprised to find out that Channel 5 was showing the movie Armageddon. Man this was one of the movies I got really crazy about in my secondary school years. Oh and the MTV rocks! Really!

Anyway speaking about "don't want to miss a thing", I'm asking myself what is something that I wouldn't want to miss out in my life. For those in NE, let me think through about this and share with you guys this coming Saturday straight after service at America Room.

Meanwhile, won't you take some time to think through for yourself too? What are the things you wouldn't want to miss? Think about it. :)

My two good friends

Let me introduce you to two of my very 'good friends' during my mugging in the night:

1) Jay Chou



Those who know me well will know that I'm a huge fan of him. Really admire his musical talent. Listening to his songs at night just really help me to remain awake and alert while studying... like now.

2) Radio.Blog.Club



It's an online 'radio' where you can register as a member and source out all the songs you want to put into your very own playlist. It's a great online music substitute for people like me who can't really afford to buy Jay Chou's album... Neither do I want to be caught for downloading music illegally too haha...

Now listening: Jay Chou- White Windmill

Enjoying Him like a Jacuzzi

Walking with God is like spending time in jacuzzi every moment. It's refreshing and a great way for rejuvenation. I enjoy my time walking with God, possessing a child-like attitude by grazing at the goodness of God with great amazement through all the little things that I am able to be thankful for.

Are you enjoying your life with Jesus today? :)

Jesus is my Love and He is a great Buddy who I want to spend my entire life with. Jesus also brought in a band of brothers (and sisters) to inject ultimate fun and laughter into my life. My visits to some of the groups this week were especially rewarding. When ever I see how dedicated my leaders are, I just feel so proud and touched at the time. They are not just my comrades but my very precious friends.

It brings me great joy too when I see new believers like Shaun who testified about God's goodness and realness, and when I see people growing and nurturing under the biblical leadership of their leaders and shepherds.

Haa... I really enjoy my life in Jesus! :D

Ruiyong's treat to Sakae Sushi for his first pay at Life Bookshop!


I began to exhibit signs of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) after eating for awhile...


Failed attempt at capturing the NEB guys' jumping stance into the pool...


Boys going through puberty are monsters during meals! :X


The boys went crazy in Carrefour... Warriors wannabe


One of my social work friend who took Malay with me. We were supposed to present on Malay "kueh" using simple Malay and she shocked me when she dressed up like a Malay for class!


Went back to my attachment agency on Wed for my school project. Man I really miss the staffs there especially my supervisor! Oh and this is the famously acclaimed Chicken Wing found in Commonwealth. According to the owner this is THE nicest Chicken Wing in the entire island. Yummy!


Mervin told me that I wasn't allowed in Mos Burger as he points to the sign---> >_<

1 Thessalonians 5:18



1 Thessalonians 5:18
give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (THE MSG)
Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (Amplified Bible)
Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (Contemporary English Version)
Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do.

It's about perception- looking at things from God's viewpoint. Things become clearer. Hope springs out when we fix our eyes on Jesus. Circumstances around us make complete sense the moment we put on the lens of Christ.

Remain hopeful. Remain grateful. In times when your surroundings turned grey and when you feel real helpless and disheartened, won't you allow this verse to bring you back in focus with God? :)
