i was uber blessed by my family time/listening to my mum share her answered prayers on sun night :) ask me about it!

anw wanna blog some random stuff from my mugging outside today.

its funny how i cant focus in a totally quiet environment nor a totally noisy place! tried studying in national lib today and it was sooo quiet i couldnt stand it. i took advantage of the macs lunch hours (finally).. yay cheap mcwings. beside me was this old couple and the two of them shared 3 extra value meals o.o. they were eating down there before i came and still eating after i left! its amazing... someone should tell them how unhealthy macs is :/. anw. eventually i had some good mugging time at a more ulu macs at tampines. hahah. shall consider going there again tmr..

okay im going to mug the p-cube (pre-prelim preparation) case study answers now.

blocks weeekkk. God, You are in control!

♥ we are UNSTOPPABLE.

1st, bike hike concludes :) aft post mortem on mon. our last official event was batch 34 has come to a close. i cant use a word to describe bike hike. its definitely one of the most mang events. second to yltc.. but very memorable :) which cca/odac has a chance at breaking the singapore record for the largest overnight cycling event in their term?? hehs.





random 5 memorable moments:


1) the super malu wrong turn into MI >< was not confident about that part so when i saw the sign MI i turn left w/o thinking!


2) at ikea, the huge cross junction, i was just crossing the traffic light when the light suddenly turned orange- jam brake and pushed back! no choice cos im pointman. lol. but recalling how i hopped off my bike in the middle of that big junction is quite scary!


3) solo all the way frm bukit gombak to b4 orchard to catch up with my group. exciting!


4) The art of smsing and talking the phone while cycling. esp the last part when the back of the group got lost at the break-off point! (cant cycle w/o hands though)


5) the biggest blessing of all (besides that it didnt rain)- getting a free ride on the shuttle bus from big splash to PP which me and shar just caught in time!:D



oh yes. and i carried eileen oh's alvel grad cert arnd the island that night, lol!





2nd, the camp opening team! (ppl missing in this pic) whooo! great team really :) working at the board. the random screaming of 'cross cross cross' 'okay NOW...close back'- cues that only we can understand... practising at nexus among the deco ppl and the filippino group. sitting around talking lame jokes. trying out all sorts of tape- masking, duct, brown, scotch.. and using loads of them. hearing the song 'desperate people' over and over.. you guys rock :)


3rd, unstoppable camp itself!

HTHT with a couple of people(: and errr.. GT with the girls in our dorm. (but aiya! too bad i had to leave early for opening). i told God i didnt want this camp to be just an emotional experience. (i had my own list of what i want this camp to be and this camp to not be). it was moving at some points.. when we sang "holy spirit come in power". or like "here in your presence we are undone, here in your presence heaven and earth becomes one". the cries of arghh God. come fill me up again. i need your joy! i need youuuuu. pray pray pray. and poof! camp is over in a flash! this camp past really really fast.
im responding to change. really want to obey God and love His church when when i dont feel like it. and make a commitment to grow myself.. my mind must love God. its been a winning ground for satan many times. buay tanhan..

"theres nothing like a local church when a local church is working right"

dont have the pics yet so i shall just end off with this one :D

hellooo. hahaha. been on another long break from blogging. or rather blogging real stuff. cos ive been wondering recently each time i visit my blog- what exactly im keeping it for. casual rambling on my everyday life if definitely not much of a good purpose for me anw.. i suppose i created this blog to talk about what makes me feel alive and so i shall try my best to keep it this way.

sooo what makes me feel alive?

as a student im saying, its definitely not studying.. (i mean im sometimes barely awake much less alive -.-)

i feel alive when..

i relate deeply with people knwing that God is right in the centre.
im in awe of God
im thankful..
people with vision inspire me
i discover sth new about God/myself
sunsets/sunrise/parts of nature reminds me that God is extraordinary
i see God moving in peoples lives
...

i know when i do these things, it gives me such a great energy boost i feel i can run a mile. best thing? when it comes when i just need it in sth small like an sms or phonecall.

funny thing is. why do i often not do things that make me alive and get caught doing things that dont?
hmmm.
What makes people feel alive if they do not know the God that gave this life to them?

today started off as a mega stone day. somehow i dunno if its cos of bike hike recee of what but woke up feeling ultra lethargic. eyes puffy and half open and my brain was just stoned. met yuxin on the way to high school flag raising and she said i looked like i just woke up. lol. yay yuxin <3 we'll (finally) be having our date on fri!!!! cant wait.

bike hike recee on sat night was a small group (yay!) comprising of stuffy,jas,zr,peiyit,wenxuan,daniel,me. No debbie for the 1st time :( the wonders of having a small group- move faster even though the pace wasnt very fast. i dunno how it works. 5am reach ecp! the rest reached v fast too. bumped into jas twice and fell off my bike. luckily its soft landing. i realise i seriously cannot E-brake with my right hand. hand too small. oh wells. at the end of it, i survived :)this time its 5h+ of slp the night before with additional chem spa and bio lecture on a sat morn. phew.

♥ bike hike recce

decided to blog after being bored of bio. im trying to compress my own diversity and evolution notes >< and its time-consuming. i hope its effective..

anw. bike hike recce on fri! on the morn/aftn went to sch for cg :) cg went quite alright, the last part we played games with the ac cg who also used hc as their cg venue. watching them play frisbee somehow reminds me of church camp. (yay church camp is drawing near!) aft that realised it was quite late, so i didnt get to nap and just head over for ecp. Thank God my dad drove me, cos apparntly there was a jam. hahaha. then happily eat subway there.

i lazy to describe the whole bike hike. but basically the speed of our recce was a lot slower than the guys group. lol i was going at a speed of 1-4 (gears) most of the time. slopes 1-1. hahaha. among the girls debbie is chao good at slopes. fern was suffering lots with the mountain bike.. comparing to last year. road bikes make a huge difference! its quite shuang. not very tiring to cycle far.

some memorable moments:
watching zhengxian bang STRAIGHT into a huge orange caution board. hahahah he didnt fall, bashed right through.

going through this region after xiao gui lin that is SUPER infested with moths! the moths were EVERYWHERE. not kidding. passing xiao gui lin was quite cool cos ive never been to that place before.

and the last part back to ecp where me debbie sean and linette were super hyped up and went on ahead of the rest. hahaha we were so used to relaying msges that all four of us just called out for each other to hear. the route was very bumpy cos we took the pavements.

in the end we reached ecp at about 6.50am. i was quite zonked out by then. and so bike hike recee ended. quite smooth, no injuries, no honking (except kiasu drivers who honked when they were driving on 2nd lane -.-) best part: minimal muscle aches! :D maybe the ubin bike hike helped.

and very thankfully, i was quite awake during service and unit mtg after that. fung was so sweet to pass me sweets before service :D it really helped. hahaha. kenny came over at meridian and asked how the grp was but i was too braindead to respond ><. by the end of JFC which was about 11pm, i was seriously zonked out till a point i became incoherent and walking=floating around.

then this morn, had my first gp tuition. good thing: i love her style! in fact most of the time we were chatting rather than staring at materials. she was trying to get me appreciate the whole point about writing to be about inspiration. inspiring your reader. and that GP was more about developing a point of view rather than content.. discussing about things i observe on mrt/buses, films i watched. :):) love it how she never focus on the grades..or say things like "its your Alevel year..you have to blah blah blah or else blah blah blah" and for the longest time, it gets me interested:). hope things will go well from here.

ehhh. couldnt tell it looked different until i went to search the parents:

whale dad:

dolphin mum:

lastly, a tigon (tiger +lion)
it looks normal.

its wed today aka today theres oac.. i realise i blog so unfrequently that i dont know how far back should think and blog about.. oac's been pretty happening nowadays :) Atlantis, yl night and now bike hike! atlantis was slack for snrs.. hahaha. and considering my stations are WCP (in the morn), TPY block 152 and airport T3, i didnt have to suffer getting burnt under the sun unlike the serangoon ppl :P my cut from atlantis just recovered >< tts super long i realised.. just checkd. gosh atlantis was like 11 days ago. and im blogging abt it 11 days later. oh wells.

okay more recent stuff. nows the period where the 35th batch will be decided.. after the session today we are still going to talk abt it agn on fri before bike recce. i suppose most of the jnrs are quite emo about it.. didnt talk to any of them abt it though><.. just hope WHOA will make good decisons abt this.

anw. may is coming up soon.. weekends are gonna be tiring considering that theres bike hike every sat except the 3rd one ! but for now im excited for the experience :D. its a new route, LESS SLOPES. yay! last sun had mini bike hike at ubin with taman jurong organised by ad chiefs.. and i realise my cycling skills are quite limited. i cant steer well- sharp turns are totally not in my limits (no wonder i fell the last bike hike when i didnt go slow at the turn). starting off from stationary quite lousy too- must kick quite a bit and will swerve. will try my best to stay out of any accidents.

and i realise. running can still run halfway daydream or think of God and pray while running esp since its much of a mental strength thing.. bt cycling on straight roads= auto pilot mode. hahaha. maybe thats why charlton can fall asleep on his bike :/

so perhaps some slopes are good.

when 'slopes' come i shldnt whine and complain why the road ahead aint straight. cos its not going to be just another slope. its part of a bigger roadmap that i believe is best planned. By Him.

lol. i suddenly rmb my bike hike grp's self-motivating line when we battled the nasty slopes last year until leg cramp:

"when theres a upslope, theres a downslope!"

♥ Easter

saturday afternoon-evening was spent with the unit:) at "THE LAST SUPPER" at huiwei's condo. the place is so nice and so new! high ceiling function room! so new it still had the strong plastic smell. planning process was not all smooth sailing. slipup with the pasta sauce etc. but sighh. nvm. taken as experience gained.

i enjoyed how it ended :D playing monkey with a tennis ball. and discussing xiuwen's fav topic :P girls talk. hahaha. this time the new combination of people made it interesting.

AND WE DID A WHOOSH! :D hahahaha! (inside joke)


sunday is easter! during service, there was a screening of a video which related a true incident of a married couple who broke up and reunited. i admire the courage of the couple who came up after that and shared so openly and explictly the series of events and how they felt at each point of time.

and i think a line that struck me most was (spoken by kelly) " i think if i were to forgive, it would take me more than myself to do so?"

very often ppl would see the person who forgives as super wei da. cos its really hard to do so esp towards someone you had trusted so much- the wound is so much deeper. yet, i like how in their story the wife expressed that it wasnt abt how big her heart was to forgive then but it was knowing that God forgives and forget first. so she chose to let go.


"Brother, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. Therefore, as it is written" ' Let him who boasts boast in the Lord' " [1 Corinthians 1:26-27,31]


haiya. once again. i have afterthoughts but no idea on how to put them in words. sooo just have to leave with this verse.

easter is alot quieter when you dont experince bringing someone across the line.

anws other stuffs.

my BT1 grades as follows:
gp-S
econs - E
bio- C
chem- B
maths - B

gp. 44.5 >< grahh. on the otherhand, maths bio chem, did better than what i expected even with the little time left to study! and for econs, i need to stop escaping from the subject and starting working on it before its too late.
