Happy Easter, anyone! Hehez. I didn't post anything yesterday. But that's okay. Yesterday wasn't really a cool day afterall. Sigh. Anyway, today I went to church and was anointed heavily by the Holy Spirit. Ps. Omar taught us how to be a normal Christian. I didn't take down notes just now, but let me tell you something. It is not normal that God's children are always in bondages, or even continually "rising and falling" over the same sin and even to the extend of experiencing stress, depression, and intimidation. However, this doesn't mean that Christians will never encounter problems. They will, but they should not dwell in those problems but rise up above them and even overcoming them!

Anyway, the service was great. I was really blessed. After the service, I chilled out for some time with my "bros and sis". I love going to Youth service. There are a lot of friends who will be there for me in times of need. Vanya, Andre, San-san, and Ivan (my big bro), I know they will be there for me, listen to my problems, and pray for me. Well. I don't know if I have a true friend. But I these days, I like to "curhat" with Tutut (Melissa), my bestest sis online. We haven't met each other yet, but I'm sure she's a great friend. She's one of the God's Army, and always supports me. I'm glad I know her. ^^

Hmm... Oh yeah, I forgot. Terra introduced me to Uga. We had a great "conference" just now.. LOL. So, that's today. Gotta meet Christina and Terra in the Library@Orchard tomorrow. C ya!

Heyaz! Went to church for Good Friday Service today. They showed us some clips taken from "The Passion Of The Christ"... Whoa, I could hardly breathe. I closed my eyes most of the time. My tears wanted to come out but it couldn't. All of a sudden, I felt the atmosphere around me was very hot. I perspired a lot (in a cool air-conditioned room), and I could hear my heart beating and my lungs breathing, but, however, I couldn't hear my friends talking. I entirely couldn't hear everything around me, not even the sounds from the movie. Guess I just too weak to see Him crucified on the cross, the bug bulky cross where I AM actually the one who is supposed to be on it.. But He took my place, so that I am free.

Urm.. Do u know what are exactly the reasons He was crucified?

1. Col 1:20, "....God made peace through His Son's sacrificial death on the cross...."

2. 1 John 1:7, "....And the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin."

3. Hebrew 13:12, "For this reason Jesus also died outside the city, in order to purify the people from sin with His own blood."

4. Rom 5:10, "We were God's enemies, but He made us His friends through the death of His Son...."

5. Hebrew 10:11-23. Christ's crucifixion enables us to be in His presence. Now we are able to ask God for everything.

Okay. I am glad that I have a wonderful God who is full of grace and mercy.

After went to church, I met Christina and Terra and we headed to Expo. There was a huge metro sale. I didn't buy anything. We just had fun and had a great laugh. You know, girls just want to have fun ;-p

Ok. God is so good, I just knew that Christina is posted in TP too. Well, at least I know I wont be alone for the 1st day, even though we are not going to the same field (she will go to product and industrial design). Charmaine also will go to TP (biotechnology), but I just knew her, so we are not too close to each other. Anyway. Gotta sleep now. It's AM already. Later I'm gonna meet Terra and Erni in town.. C ya!

Hey guys! So. Today is the posting date! Guess where I am posted? Temasek Poly, in business Information Technology. Wow. That is my first choice!! I am so glad that I am posted there. TP rox! The 1st time I came there and saw the building, all that came to my mind was "wow". The campus was sooooo darn nice! Very colourful. Very lively. Very Friendly. Thanks God that You have put me there. Although none of my close friends in secondary school gets into TP, I am still so thankful. I promise myself that I will study hard in poly. I know it will be so different from secondary school. But I believe I can manage. Hopefully I can make new friends there and find at least a true friend. Hopefully.....

Just now a friend called me and invited me for a huge lunch on Saturday. Yesterday was her birthday and this means the lunch is her treat! Yaaay! However, my other friend whom I don't get along quite well with is also joining. I don't know what the day would be next Saturday. I'm just hoping that my mood will still be excited and my mouth shan't say bad stuff or something useless. Anyway, speaking about that, I chatted with my brother online about attitude. He says that it would be nicer if I speak more gently. I love to mix around with those happy-go-lucky and heck-care gals, therefore I speak like one of them. My brother says that I speak too frankly. That will put some guys off. Err... I don't really know about guys, and I am currently not chasing after one. Therefore I was kind of .. huh? But I took a minute to ponder. It is definitely harmless to change for the better, right? Well, speak softer and more gently. I am still trying.

Hey I'm back! Hehez. Is it okay for me to post 2 stuff in a day? Ok. YRC today was so kewl. Pastor Ken Teo preached us bout FOOD! Wasn't that great? Of coz! All of us lurrvee to eat rite? LOL. There are 3 types of food that we have to consume.

1st: Our needs. What's your food? What is your need? Is it finance? School? Or.. soulmate maybe? Anything. See Matthew 6:11. Give us today our DAILY bread. Why daily? Coz God provides food EVERY SINGLE DAY without fails! When those Israelites were in the desert, God sent them manna every morning. However, they have to collect their manna enough only for ONE day. Why? Coz tomorrow, He would send another fresher ones to those Israelites. Amen. Philippians 4:19 says: And my God will meet all you needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Whoa. ALL YOUR NEEDS. Not a little bit of your needs, not some of your needs, but ALL of your needs. So why worry? God provides food, my friend! ^^

2nd: The living bread. John 6:32 : It was my Father who gives you the true bread of heaven. The living bread shall not make you hungry and thirsty again. What does this mean? Well, we have to build a strong bond of relationship between God and us. Our spirit needs to eat. Once we consume the living bread, we shall feel the real peace in Christ. Our passion has been fulfilled.

3rd: Our purpose from heaven. John 4:34 says : My food, said Jesus, is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work. That's it! Do His will and finish His work. Need I say more?

Anyway, hope you enjoy your food today. May God bless you =)

This morning I went to church for FA. I got to know that we have to start everything with prayer. Sometimes we may think : God knows everything. He sure knows that I am going to school now. Why should I pray for such a simple "hey-God-I-am-going-to-school.-Amen." thing? Well well well. It is not like we have to report to our boss or something like that. God just wants hear your voice! He knows everything. Yes. He understands that you are going to school. Get rid of the mindset which says that this is such a simple problem, I don't need to tell God bout this, it's so plain childish! Hey! We ARE His children! And everyday, our lovely Father is desperate to listen to us talking to Him. He just wants to pour out His blessings but we don't want to open up our hearts for that abundant blessings.. Hmm.. dont u think it's so.... err.. stupid? Why we say no to those blessings and keep ourselves buzy mugging for the never ending job that we are doing? Yet we keep on complaining that the tasks are so darn difficult and it is impossible for us to finish them in a day? Can't we just pause for a while to talk to Him and be in His presence for -let's say- 10 minutes? Trust me, after we finish praying, all the jobs and tasks that we are doing will seem so much easier. Why? Coz we have told God "please don't ignore me for this one". God listens and He will be there for you whenever you need help. Well. You got to try that one! ^^

Yeah, according to what I've heard last week, Planetshakers is coming to Singapore today. The show is gonna be held in Downtown East, Pasir Ris, and San-san and I are gonna catch 'em. However, just yesterday she told me that she couldn't come. Sigh. I don't want to go there alone, so I miss their performance once again (last year I missed them too T.T). Anyway. This whole week is just the same from day to day. Not going to school is absolutely dreadful! It's boring! It's .... argh! I've been staying at home not doing any useful stuff everyday. I feel like I am grounded or quarantined, or something like that. Haha. Well, actually I just feel so lazy to go out lah. That's why. Okay. No school was my dream when I was in primary school. And now, that dream comes TRUE. And right now, I am dying to go to school! I wish I got math homework to do (hehe, this is what my friend calls "dangerous wish", LOL). Oh no. What's wrong with people? They hope for one, and when it comes true, they are hoping that they don't get that. Well. This is human nature, I guess... Right? Am I normal?
