Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

really wana thank god a lot of times, lord u have blessed me even if I dun deserved sometimes. This sem, god has blessed me good grades, something which I am v grateful for. Scored a 2.39 for gpa this sem, though it may seems like an under average gpa, however, god has blessed me with tremendous improvement in grades for the previous months when I thought I would have already suck at studies. Scored a A, 2 Bs and a C+ and a B+ for FYP, really have improvement from last sem.I still can remember for environmental education I need to use paper to do for ut, at that point I really prayed to god abt it and a bit sian cos of it. However, god blessed me god grade for that ut too. The lord will not shortchange as long as we have trust and faith in him. For non believers frens who are reading this post, please allow me to share with u the change in my life after receiving christ and u will know how much god has blessed me.

Just catch accident just now with jaslyn and fione, well I think the whole plot of the movie is quite nice just that the ending is a bit non expected with a flashback.The movie is basically that there is this accident planner team led by louis ku that actually' plotted' murders which seems on the surface as been an accident. However, during one of their supposedly' accidents', things went wrong and one of their team members( fatty) died during that accident. Therefore, Louis started to find out the enemy who is trying to wipe their entire team out. However, the story took a twist towards the end that in fact its one of their team members( uncle) who made an error eventually caused fatty to die.However, it is too late as louis had plotted the suspected culprit's gf to be killed in a car accident.
This movie not only gave me a insight of how those criminals who planned all these crimes as their careers think in their mind. Another thing I gather from this movie is that, nobody should rely on his instinct to do things, even how smart a accident planner such as Louis is, based on instinct to do things eventually will get to nowhere, ie. in this show innocent lives get lost ( the suspect gf). That was why I am relieved I am in the covenant with the god that I worship, because I know that he has the best plan in my life and as I know that I am in the truth, I will not rely on human's instinct which will get you to nowhere except ben manipulated by satan. Therefore, this movie gave me sort of like an encouragement, to act on god's word but not human instinct.

Yesterday was indeed a very tiring day, but I decided to give thanks to god. I know its kinda hard, but I am learning. The whole afternoon was spent at ecp for the 1st aider on wheel duty. Kinda refreshing for me as I always have duties done on foot but this time is on wheels. Huili, me, fione , jas and my perd perd stephen volunteered for this event and we had to cycle from big splash to the skate park, a total of 2 areas. I think god gave me the most testing as my bike actually broke down in the middle of the cycling trek on the way to the seafood restaurant area due to loose of the seat grip causing the metal thing behind my seat to hit the wheels causing the bike to be unable to be used. Therefore, I have to walk all the way back to the bike shop at big splash to change the bike. Its a very long walk back there and I occupied my mind with a lot of random thoughts and sang hillsong songs along the way. After swopping partners, we still have a lot of situations here and there. I got a big fall and suffered scratches on both of my hands, thank god for giving me good reflexes hahaha even though I nv do sports often. And along the way we nearly stumbled here n there cos of our bikes and huili labelled this kind of cycling as ' dong nan xi bei' HAHAHAH ! Along the way to that place, we saw a guy who can slugged on his bike even though he is cycling, power man and a lot of things. But nonetheless, if u let me choose, I will prefer west coast cos of more area to have activities and also it is lesser vibrant than ecp which is v noisy, I felt like lying on the piece of grassland when we had X2 family day there HAHAHA! yeah so bye for now !

Word for life was just over! Honestly, I have to say this workshop is indeed very good, and I would say they cover 4 bible characters, moses, daniel, rahab and paul. Out of this 4, I think that Daniel really spoke to me a lot. In one of the points, Daniel chose to held fast to his faith in god through times of difficulty, in daniel 6:3-5, daniel was deemed as a righteous man and the King trusted him a lot to even wanted to pass the kingdom to him, however, the officials in the country were jealous of him but however, find no fault in him, thus they decided to make a rule in the country that everybody are to not worship any god but only to the king. In daniel 6:10, he chose to continue to worship god despite of the decree set and barriers that he is facing. However, god really saved him when he was thrown into the lion den, in daniel 18-24, the angel of god saved him from the mouths of the lions, and he also gained much favour from his king, from daniel 13-17, because he is a person who is god-centric, and eventually the king ordered daniel's enemeis to be thrown into the lion dens with their families and made christianity the default religion in the country. Therefore, even the king of daniel came to know god despite he is a non believer before that because of daniel's persevrence of faith in god and his righteousness. Therefore, this set me to reflect about myself, am I really showing the people god's real character in it or showing my human's behaviour in it? Am I showing emotions such as been frustrated easily, cursing people etc. And another thing is that do I give up on god easily when I knew myself that god himself has not done with me yet, because of one small obstacles and god choose not to answer your prayer, do you really say god you are not answering me and you have forsaken me. Therefore, this lesson really sets me to deepen my faith on god, something which I have been working for the past few weeks.

Its 12.36 am and I am kinda start to have cravings on anything that came into my mind =( hahaha but anyway, I would like to introduce some good stuff here. Ion orchard is indeed a paradise to visit for food cravers, just visit wana visit again. For me, I went on tuesday but its kinda rush cos needa send my parents home, but get to try some cool stuff. there is a ice cream store call marvellous cream is damn cool, the ice cream is cheap( less than $10), and also that the scoop is quite big. Though quite sad there is no cookies and cream icecream, however, the golden vanilla is quite nice. Plus chocolate chips which is super cruchy, the taste is marvellous. You can choose whether to buy cone or cup, if cup then they will use a biscuit base to cover the ice cream and u cn eat the biscuit at the end.environmentally frenly and innovative.Yeah, this post is kinda random hahaha!

Just came back from sherperding with stephen, and I really felt that today's lesson is speaking right at me. The lesson is about the habit of secrecy, and I feel that it is good that I recap what I learn here.Matthew 6:1-41"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Stage 1: Live to please others Stage 2: getting tired of pleasing others and start to fight back Stage 3: thinks that no one cares about him Therefore, the above cycle is actually meaning that man's glory is temporal and god's glory is eternal. People who live to please man will ultimately be tired of pleasing other people's demands and will actually question why others are not approving of what they are doing and seek people to contribute the same effort as he is. Ultimately, he will feel that no one really cares about him because he felt that he is not been approved or appreciated by other people. God actually desries us to lead a life of secrecy,because when we blessed someone secretly, we are knowing that we are doing to please god but not personal glory and approval by others. This can actually strengthen our relationship with god and independent of opinions from others as god will protect us from critics of others as said in Psalms 31:20. Another thing is that secrecy teaches us to have love humility not only to others but also god. As stated in philippians 2:3, by blessing other people secretly, you are making yourself humble by wanting the best out of them. In turn, you will be humble before god seek to serve Him without any personal agenda ie. wanting to rise up as a CL. The quote below is a total irony to me but we should still do so:'In a competitive situation, pray that others will be more outstanding and praised and rejoice in their success'Amazing. isn't it? We should have this kind of loving and giving spirit to others and as we know we are secured in the lord.The most important point that I learn the most is that secrecy teaches us to look to god to meet our needs instead of people. Instead of asking people to meet our needs, we should seek god instead of our needs when we know that only he is able to use his grace to do so. Furthermore, we need the grace of god to tame our desire for seeking other's attention about our needs as if we are secured in the lord, we will not rely on human to fufill them.

I have been having severe migraine recently, it is so pain that it causes me to have loss of concentration and also unable to think properly. I have been trying everything I could, pray, hearing music that are use for therapeutic uses and so on. Nothing seems to work.... I even break down at meridien just now, feeling so helpless, feeling I am alone no one even god can help me, I feel like dying.
However,Stephen told me one thing, have I been relying a lot on god? Or perhaps I am doing so when I need it but not always? Do I just rely on god when I have having this migraine or after having FYP presentation I will just forget every single thing god has blessed me. X2 meeting also speak back to me, is my prayer to the lord correct? Am I asking for favour from god or I am praying for the glory of the kingdom? Luke told me that I should start making prayers for the glory of his kingdom and showing appreciation for his kindness.
Thank you lord! I am feeling much better now! Today is a wake up call for my overconfidence in myself thinking that I have faith in you when I do not have constantly. I am also amazed by this brotherhood, in the past I thought this plate of sand is so scattered and did not bother to gather them back onto the plate, but lord, I am so amazed they prayed for me today! I have taken their kindness so much in the past! Thank you lord for everything u have done today!
