isn't technology amazing.


so i'm blogging. Again! But with one crucial difference. I'm using my PHONE here. And i have to know.. DOES ANYONE STILL READ THIS THING?
Anyway i reckon the cool thing about this is that it's like jwebs! Well, chotto anyway. Lol. Im gonna try stuff. Like, putting a picture in! That would be sugoii okay.
Alright i know the japanese words are annoying. I'll stop :)
So i'm in my bed.. And.. I'm going to sleep now. Loves technology. But God's better!

*squeeeeeals*

okay, so like on this very random moment, i decided i would blog one more time. it's been less than a year, okay. fantastic.


anyway, i remembered my password=O


at the FIRST TRY. i bet some of you who blog like weekly can't even do THAT. (well, maybe you can, but just make me feel good)


anyway this is NOT going to be a longgggg blog....because if i wanted it to be long, it would be long. as in, encompassing-the-important-events-in-the-past-10-months-of-my-life long. and trust me, i'm sure pretty much no one out there (except maybe the supremely bored and loving) would want to read all THAT.


'A'level year. sigh...i better buck up and studywuddyfuddyduddy. i also better do it for the right reasons, as in, all for God. and all with God. 'God-sized tasks' are only possible to accomplish with God. so that i can't possibly boast at the end that it was by my own strength- point taken from retreat.


actually, i wonder what it's like to like someone? well, by that i mean love. and no, love does not equal to like, though i think that is a MAJOR misconception nowadays. anyway i've watched hana yori dango like... about twice over... and i wrote this somewhere on my notes- if a guy loved me as much as domyouji tsukasa loved makino tsukushi in the dorama, that would really be... i dunno, amazing. and i wrote, i know perfectly well that there IS someone who loves me as much or more than what that fictional show portrays- God- but still...can't help but wish for a guy like that sometimes. it's hard not to, when you watch that show.


but then, i may love that show, and japanese shows in general, but i'm not stupid. i do realise that those shows are MADE so that normal people feel like that. that's why it's all nonsense and fake. but i'd still go, "if only it wasn't".... that's why i have to keep telling myself it's nonsense. they're just characters. otherwise...haaa. i'd be...bought in. i'm already half-bought in as it is. -_-


well that's QUITE enough of my musings on life and japanese dramas for now. (hahaha)

BYEEEEEEEEE....... TILLL.......I DON'T KNOW WHEN*.........


*mysterious then fun ma.

groan. jc sucks

(just so you know.) jc sucks. i hate the whole singapore education system. i mean, i know it's fantastic for our potentially bright future and all, but seriously, it's too much. anyway, i'm sure God would want me to be satisfied and not complain, so hey, who am i to protest! (ok, so i just did. bleagh)


sooooo. why do i choose to bestow uponst thou this beautiful gift of a blog after ONLY 10 months? well, i don't know! impulse i reckon. and yeah, this is a super pointless blog. i mean, does anyone even read this anymore??? if not, then it's pointless to type anything WITH a point since no one will be around to read this ingenious point that i have.


so much has changed since the last post, things that i've clearly never bothered to record down or perhaps, chose not to. personal stuff that has turned out all for the better, i guess. but eh eh, it was great while it all lasted; isn't almost everything? i just can't help wondering what it would be like if it wasn't over...pretty interesting stuff.


let me just list off the people in my brand new JC class, 07S39! let's see... siewzie, hweepeng, joel, tianying, shayang, stephanie, hongyee, matthewho, me, minghui, siewhwee, xueling, stella, yuxuan, yuwen, yujuan, nicholas, eugene, manraj, chunchun, kelly, jinning, renying, . EX-classmates? bob( kangrong ), xilun, clinton, janice, nerissa, xinling.


all great great people, but actually only 4 christians, including myself. i think it's really important to have fellowship with fellow christians, otherwise you'll lack accountability and just..well, perhaps fall back in your relationship with God. not that mine has been fantastic...it;s quite bad actually=( i must have the passion! GDOP coming up...that's great...but i know it's not just the event, but the process before and after that event as well, so it shouldn't just be an emotional high la, basically.


but surely i blabber about unnecessary things that NO ONE is interested in. oh gosh. oh ya. let's seeeeeeee....to even consider having a boyfriend or not? man, i want a nice sweet romantic humourous guy. which is. um. ALMOST impossible because if such a guy existed so clearly, then he would have been grabbed by now or by then. boooooo. but anyway, of course i know that like all relationships totally depend on God so i'm trying not to think about it since it's in His hands. oh and well, my class is quite normal, in the sense that i don't remotely foresee anyone in our class dating or getting together, except.....maybe chunchun and joel la. =DDD wait, that's abnormal maybe.


haiz wadeverrrr....human emotions are quite stupid sometimes, because they tend to make one wish for the impossible, for things that will never happen, and then the person gets all mopey and emo and sad and it just goes downhill from there. =_= trust me i've seen plenty of cases like these. but then again, God gave us those emotions and feelings so they can't be bad in a sense. just don't let it cloud ya head. i speak about myself here too. shan't elaborate =P


toooootttttlllesss.

Global Day Of Prayer

ok, i'm blogging. don't really know if ppl will read it. but why am i blogging?! haha, it's pretty obvious now. Global Day Of Prayer (GDOP), or to my mind, the most amazing day in Singapore or the world since..ever? or since i was alive. That's right people, i felt it was better than like, FOC? maybe because i was too young. but definitely better than any christian concert i've been to thus far. Perhaps that seems a little too much for those who didn't bother/couldn't go...prayer?! enjoyable?! sitting there and praying better than a delirious? or hillsongs worship-like-crazy concert? errrr.......YA. oh man, i promised myself and of course God that i would not intentionally "bash" or insult those who chose not to go. I mean, i'm sure most people had pretty valid reasons. But there's a lot on my mind. So i'll say it straight, sorry if i offend anyone, but this is meant to make you think. Hard.


Uhhh ... where to start?!! aaah. K, from how i felt initially when i heard about GDOP. Man, was i seriously looking forward to it.....haaha.I mean, I was!!! And somehow, in my mind, i really honestly thought everyone else or almost was equally anticipating it as i was. Errr..got a reality check this very morning, when Lydia and I realised that hardly any youths wanted to go, or were even remotely interested. I suppose it's for the very reason that i mentioned above? Well, if you were there you would know...i was kinda pissed, shocked, whatever. I may have blown up slightly, i just couldn't stand them trying to "explain" why they weren't going. I mean, if you're not interested, you don't wanna go, just spit it out man. Yeah..anyway...kind of got over it..found out a few ppl are going..told Lydia I would just go for God, quite happy alrdy..drew on ben's hand..etc...lol.


afterwards, finally got there...and I think the first few thoughts that flashed through my head " omg!!!!! so many people! praise God!", "aarghh..its super ultra HOT..sweating like crazy...", and "I don't regret coming here, I can't believe i ever even considered not coming". Haha. yeah, it started off with worship of course..fantastic..i love love love just worshipping with all other christians..just lifting up your hands..feeling God, singing your heart out, looking at all your fellow christians and thinking how amazing God is...after that it was like read-out prayers from this booklet, plus more worship, plus more prayers, plus prayer amongst groups for repentence for double-mindedness, which one of the preachers said was the biggest problem facing Christians today. Yeah, a bit of everything in turns.


Stuff that struck me like mad - or the most exciting events ( and i mean FANTASTICALLY EXCITING).


1) THE CHURCHES REUNITED!! ok what does that mean??? like, you know how there's always been a line or problems and disagreements and wadever between the conservatists/evangelicals (us included) and the charismatics/pentecostals. WELLL..on this very supremely amazing night, the main leaders of both groups representatives that is, they like hugged and apologised to each other for all the stuff they'd done wrong, like criticising each others' practices and all that, then accepted, then washed each others feet. EEEE, ok it was sooooo touching. i like cried =X well, teared at least.


2)One of the Messages.. - firstly, the first little msg was about how double-minded we are now..it's not just like not putting God first leh..listen up. it's that God is not our main focus, our light. Luke 10:33.He asked this, and i shall always remember it : if someone dug deeper into your heart, would you find Jesus Christ there? Or is there darkness, is there dota, is there SLEEP, is there "REST", is there fun, is there shopping, you know. The last sentence is what i say of course. Yeah, so pls pls pls people..especially all the youths...ask yourself this.. obviously i'm definitely NOT that marvellous la, like God is always first..but man after the GDOP..my mind has totally changed, as has my heart.


3) Another msg.. haha- err..this guy was talking about..long-suffering. hahaa!!!! and NOOOO it's NOT patience, mind you! it's tougher than that (dang). hahahaha. yeah..i mean, this totally applies to me, and wilfred too. I'm totally not insulting wilfred okie, haha, he knows. I hope. I love you wilfred! (not in the clara way *coughs*) It was about...how we should always not lose our temper..not get angry...and one more thing. " You should not smile, but feel angry on the inside" whooooa ok u have no idea how much that connected with me. It's totally true. Well.....hopefully never again! erm, as in, i won't get angry so easily anymore la. duh.=P ok, i feel bad..i know there was tons more to this fabulous msg..but i can't recall too clearly..aargh.


4) It's Prayer No. 4!!!!! - haha..ok sorry, it's just this prayer ultra super connected with me..i think it would connect with most other ppl out there too..actually, i could think specifically of some people who it would totally apply to....but man, isnt that like me having a log in my own eye? so i'm trying not to go and think like "oh man, if only _____ could see this and get it!" , ya know. =) I'll type out the whole prayer here soon..i hope i won't procrastinate.


5)Specific Praying for the Youths - who were there. They asked all the youths to stand up, then we repeated a prayer after one of the leaders, then they asked the whole standium of people to just stretch out and pray for all the youths standing, which was AMAZING, then a bunch of people, different people, like a teen, a pastor, female leader, they stepped up to the pulpit and prayed for the youths. It was so powerful. I loved it. We are the next generation - dont forget that=) The future of the ministry of GOD is in our hands leh!!! how can u still put something like sleep first??!! ok, obviously i'm not saying become a zombie, but you get it=_=


6) Worship - very powerful, as it always is when all the Christians gather together to worship the Lord. well, record-breaking baby. 24,000 ++ people were rocking that National Stadium tonight. I'm so blessed that i was one of them. We sang in English AND in chinese! haha. Because of course there are chinese churches, but we're all ONE. =) "How great is our God, sing with me how great is our God. And all will see, How great...how great is our God."


Eh...ok..so.....of course there's lots more..my heart is like jumping like mad..I'm encouraged and empowered. God is so amazing, do you guys realise how blessed you are to know Christ? =)) haha. Hopefully..this won't be some stupid one-off thing..then like tomorrow i'm back to "normal". I really want to change leh..that's how fantastic GDOP was. For God, and for my own good of course! Haha.


What quite saddens me still is what i feel is the state of our youth in church. Uh..i hope i'm not comparing exactly..but..well, other churches have like busloads of people who went..kinda thing? and their youth are all so enthu and onz and all that. And yet..our church..quite sad la. Like i said..Lydia and I thought like a lot of people wanted to go. I'm not sure, but like i think if it was some Hillsongs concert, or Delirious? concert..everyone would just be super enthu and excited and going in a huge group. But when they hear it's prayer..."i;m damn tired" " i have to study" etc..OF COURSE sometimes it's valid...but arrrgh..out of say, 50 youths...all 40 youths have a TRUE reason for not going? I doubt that k. Now then...pls don't bash me up when i see you next =) I speak what i feel.


Okay...well for all who didn;t go.....i feel sad for you cos u missed out on it..i mean seriously...you would not understand no matter how much i went " it was great! it was unbelievable!". In fact, i'm positive most people would just be like "uhhh..riiight..ook" and give me a wadever look. Think about it, you know you would, most of you. But..i pray that you guys will wanna go for the next GDOP. Keep 27th May 2007 free, ok? For God. Hopefully next time, our youth group people can be as enthusiastic about the wonders of prayer as all the other youths.


On the 4th of June, the world has been shaken. God lives, in His people, us. Do YOU want to be part of the revolutions? One day, every knee WILL bow. God rocks.
