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

School Reopened! =)

I know I'm a little different from the rest. I love it when school reopens.

No doubt there are stress and fatigue and stuffs, but I simply just enjoy the process of learning new and interesting knowledge from all my lectures and tutorials, especially when these knowledges are able to serve me well in practical usage!

Education can be less of a struggle when you can comprehend the purpose it serves you in the long-run and especially when you are able to choose what you love and enjoys!

Modules I am taking this semester:
1) Chinese Traditions
2) Gender Issues in Social Work
3) Principles of Marketing
4) Introduction to Psychology
5) Perfumes and Cosmetics (Haha!)

Btw, God really spoke to me last Saturday about faith. This is what I wrote to my leaders in my email today:

Guys, God reminded me on last Saturday that we need to serve with faith. When we challenge our people, have faith that they will grow. Sometimes growth doesn't come immediately. That's when the Bible says that faith is hoping for what we can't see as yet, believing that it will come to past.
Without faith in our serving, we will get frustrated and discouraged easily. With faith, we can have joy in serving God. Faith pleases God and God will bless our labour filled with love and faith.
Jiayou this week people! Let's clothe ourselves on with divine faith and serve differently!

Oh and yes yes! Yesterday I had a ex-HS D reunion at Andrea's new house! It was a reunion of my shepherds Ray (2nd shepherd), Andrea (3rd shepherd) and Daniel (4th shepherd)! These are some of the key people God has used to impact my life tremendously! To who I am today I owed it so much to them! :)

Of course, not forgetting Weiling (my ex-CG mate) and Daniel Cheah (my buddy since Sec 2)! It was a great time of fellowship and showing appreciation to Andrea for what she had done in our life. It was also a good opportunity for us to know more about Andrea's husband David in a personal way.

Photos are on its way so I shall blog more about it when I receive the pictures! :)

Times truly flies man... This coming Saturday I'll be attending Christine's wedding ceremony with some other dudes! When is my turn man?!?!?! (Joking joking... :p)

*** Gosh I just think I shotted myself!

Why (By Nicole Nordeman)

This was an animation done last year during our Easter production. Bravo to Steven and the rest for this splendid piece of art!

For those who have never hear this song before, this song contains the voices of the young little girl, Jesus and God the Father in the backdrop of Jesus' death on the Cross and His reason for doing so.

What a good way for myself to be reminded by the last statement of the song that I was the reason why Jesus died. There are many out there whom He died for too. I want to bring them back to God's sheep pen.

Yesterday was a blessed day where I had an opportunity to eat lunch with this schoolmate of mine. He has a really unique personality and a strong set of beliefs which he holds on firmly to. During our conversation I can't help but to ask him- "It's really surprising for me to know that you are not a Christian, given your sense of pursue for righteousness and truth". I am glad that this friend of my adopts an open-minded attitude towards Christianity. I'll be taking a similar module with him next semester and he turns out to be Dennis' friend too. I pray that God will add greater substance to our friendship and that I may be used as a vessel in revealing Christ's love to him.

As you take some moments to appreciate the following video, do take time to thank God for God. Spread this video to those around you too, especially those who have yet come to know Christ. :)

A Mei!

Another amazing performance by A Mei. She was my favorite singer when I was in my secondary years. Her vocal is truly amazing! I was so crazy over her that I went to her concert in Singapore Outdoor Stadium in 1998 thanks to my friend who managed to get two free tickets haha!
