The secret of life is letting go
The secret of love is letting it show
In all that i do
In all that i say
Right here in this moment
The power of prayer is in a humble cry
The power of change is in giving my life
I’m laying it down
Down at your feet
Right here in this moment
Take my heart
Take my soul
I surrender everything to your control
And let all this is within me lift up to you and say
I am yours and yours alone
Completely
The journey of life is a search for truth
This journey of faith is following you
Every step of the way
Through the joy and the pain
Right here in this moment
Right here, right now, and for the rest of my life
Hear me say
I am yours and yours alone
Completely

watched 'facing the giants' today. it was a good reminder that life is not about what we have, not about our interests, not about the things around us. but it is about honouring God through our actions and living a life that is pleasing to Him, and directed thru the reading of His word and listening for his voice. And how, when we choose to follow him, choose to honour Him, choose to praise Him no matter good or bad, God will always bless, even in ways we cannot imagine. When things seem to go bad (in our perspective), God always has the greater purpose in mind. we only need to trust him, and to believe that he loves us (: it's that kind of simple child-like faith that God wants from us too...
on a side note, the office is superbly empty now.. about 6-7 people only. and glory, amy and sharon are away! ): amy's sick, think quite bad. sharon took half day off. yeah. braces tmr. scary.. haha.

ah glory's gg san fran tmr ): will be lonely in office. hahah
anw, got a place at unsw (: thank God. also shortlisted for nus interviews. although the thought of gg thru the selection is kinda sian, and also cos i dunno if i wanna study at nus, i guess it's still a good experience for myself, thus i should go for it anw and see what happens.
will be more happening for the next 2 weeks i think.. haha. cos of nus stuff, mob, etc. i dunno. dental on friday (: how exciting...
oh i finally rmbered what my intention of blogging was for. haha. yeah just had some thoughts over the past week:
it's amazing how God would send His son down to earth for us. For a God that's bigger than the universe to fit into a virgin's womb, to grow up just like us, and be subject to the authority of his own creation. it's like humans creating machines and then being taken over by the machines. we can trust in God and commit chare our burdens with him because he's been through it before! that's the coolest bit. it's a scary thought and painful at that, but he still chose to die for us. God's love is indeed great, i am thankful (:
'the more we pray, the more we will learn to rely upon God and the more we learn to rely upon God, the more we will pray'

today started off relatively normal. wore my new threadless shirt to work (it made me happy (: )
dunno what happened along the way tho, the day seemed to get progressively worse. feeling more and more tired (although i had enough rest this past weekend), keep having the itchy mouth syndrome (where one keeps picking at food). yeah. and now i just feel like crying :S
i pray for strength tonight so i can practice cello for tmr's lesson (and have my 2 weeks break from lessons). and the interview with mary on friday.

uppy-date!
relatively okay week this week. cello was shifted to wed. it was amusing when zhao's helper opened the door with tootsie (zhao's doggy) cos i was wearing rainbow socks that day. and tootsie (for the first time i've seen) was wearing socks too! and rainbow socks at that! haha it was funny (: zhao almost wanted to take a picture.
met jlow for dinner to talk about mob stuff. you know i was like thinking and wondering if i should talk during the meal. cos the weekend before, edwin and ian koh were saying that he doesnt like to talk during meals so i was kinda apprehensive about saying anything then. haha so i just sat there and wait for him to initiate. and he did. so everything was pretty normal. haha. except for the fact that my view of normal wasnt really normal till he started talking during dinner... (does that make sense? haha)
thurs had the isat test. thank God i could still sit for the test. i was the only kuku who never bring the confirmation slip i think. haha. and thank God the fierce woman didnt come walk past my table. daddy brought us (me,ra and his friend kaixiang) to this indian restaurant at lucky plaza cos he heard the briyani was good. for 5$, you get a piece of chicken, briyani rice, some salad thing and dahl curry. wah i tell you the rice was really fragrant. nice and fluffy, very tasty. and even tho it was so much, i finished everything cos it was so good, and the spiciness sped up my metabolism. haha. woooo (:
was planning to go home and take a nap before gg to elisha's house but ended up gg to teach yujie phy. haha. good thing i took the whole day off. anw, im really encouraged that he keeps coming down even tho he may still have so many questions about christianity, he actually said that he feels the love among our 'community' and on thurs he said he invited a friend down to our church, which is even more surprising since he's not even a christian! i'm excited to see how God is gonna make Himself known to Him and change his life man!
yeah anw, we went to elisha's place for dinner. yummy food, i tried passion fruit for the first time. haha. yeah and we had donuts and tea for dessert. was a good meal, good conversations. as per the first time, got home really late. 12. haha.
oh yeah! glory and i have started learning guitar from shaun. haha. absorbing like a sponge now. lessons are fun. cos we laugh at each other. haha (: yeah, GO GLORY! you have it in you, don't worry (:
left prayer early to go to the orthodontist. now i've got blue rubber rings stuck between my molars. whee. feels odd. a bit sore. haha.
yay, i can exercise on monday! finally :D

"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong."
Hebrews 12:11-13, NLT
