RANDOM THOUGHTS

____________________________________

Woohoo! I'm back to blog like finally! And guess what? I finally got to eat home cook food again today! HAHA! its been really so long ever since i last ate it, have been eating out and just like the past, my mum's food still taste that nice! (:

Time really pass so fast like before i know it its like the four week ever since school started and it doesn't feel like it seriously. HAHA! Think i must really get back to work soon, i must do up my weekly schedule soon! so that i really maximum my time usefully! Somemore my ecpj project first presentation is next week and this few weeks is actually my ICA1. Time to start work, jerlyn! (:

_______________________________________

I was recently reminded of this verse:

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." -Psalms 139:14

Indeed it not only says that its "I" but WE everyone of us is fearfully and wonderfully made by God and His works are wonderfully! YES YOU, THE ONE READING! YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE BY GOD TOO!

I'm sure in our journey of life whether it is now or last time we do come across of people that we do not like, not that we hate them but somehow or another that we do not like that or some people that we just do not bother to know as they are not likable or even some people that has offended and made you angry before that's why you'll are no longer friends. But God reminded me that we should learn to accept one another or forgive them if they have offended you and love them!

Although it is not easy but think, i'm sure there is times that you will hear from your friends like who doesn't like you and hates you and im sure it doesn't feels good to hear that right?

No one is prefect and just like how we want others to accept us, let us accept others as well!

"There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love." -1 corinthians 13:13

It doesn't take a day to do so, but it takes a small step at a time. its all of a choice! just like we can choose to say yes or no. Let's love and care for the people around us.(:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GORDON________________________________

2008-04-13T00:58:00.007+08:00

oh yeah! freshmen orientation 08/09 is finallllyyyyyy over!
HAHA! such a relief!
It was quite a long three days for me cause i was not well.
cant imagine that on i actually caught a fever on tuesday night-38.5 when i went to see a doctor!
i felt really weak at that point of time. doctor gave me extra strong medicine and i really sweat like mad that night and thank God my fever subside on wednesday! haha! and guess what?
what shock me was to wake up and see 11 missed calls and 17 messages on my handphone!
it was ALOT lah! but thankfully, everything run smoothly and i went back for the orientation in the afternoon.

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL DBI & DBT OGLS who helped our course as well!
I think without you all, this orientation will not be a success! You all were really a great support to me especially when there were so many changes! (: And sorry if i have sounded angry on the phone sometimes when you all called cause sometimes i really receive alot of calls and had to multitask but i really didn't mean it, so hope you all wasn't offended! but anyway, i really had fun working along side with all of you! (:

2008-03-23T23:34:00.006+08:00

PLANNING, PLANNING, PLANNING!

For the past two weeks i have been always going school from 9am till like almost 12am then i got home! This planning stage for orientation is indeed a tiring one! everyone really put in alot of effort in it! although, we always make the same errors over and over again sometimes even i don't understand why, when we really do it so carefully! but well, i guess maybe sometimes we just overlook it so easily. but still, i think we are coming to the very end of planning already, and i believe all our effort will pay off in the end.

I think in this planning, every single department is equally important cause without either one or another, we cannot actually work! through this planning stage i also reaally got to know more friends! people that not only come from my diploma but from others too! and the cool thing about it, is that people i use to think they look pretty unfriendly turn out to be otherwise! haha!(:
MAUNDY THURS, "GUILTY", EASTER SUNDAY!

anyway, im glad that during the past three days ever since good friday, i really had a good rest! slept like never before, felt really shiok! had easter presentation on friday and saturday! invited many, but many couldn't make it. but im really happy because on friday,my kindergarden friend, guorong came and on saturday, angel, zerong and jp came! (:

oh yes! PRAISE GOD! on friday, guorong actually received christ and on sat, one of my sis's cell member friend, yuhong received chirst too! so cool right? and both of them will be joining ignyte service next saturday! im really happy for them! it really marks a new beginning, a new journey for them! and i believe just like what God has done for me, God will do it for them as well!

and of course, YOU the one reading my blog, i want you to know that God hasn't forgotten you and he loves you too!!(:

oh yar! i have something to share too! I had my results back last wednesday, and YEAHHH! thank God i did well! really better than i thought. especially, my econs. a module that i was so weak in, i actually got a b! even before i did all my papers, i even ever told my friends before that i really find sem 2 more difficult than sem 1. but guess what? my sem2 was slightly better than my sem1! really amazing! and i want to give ALL GLORY TO GOD because it was in him that when i was in the exam hall i felt such peace, it was in Him that i found such confidence and favour!(: THANK YOU, JESUS! (:

Colossians 1:13-15(NIV)

13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Patient was one word i learnt when i went prawning on friday night from 10pm-1am! (: prawning is really a great way to training of your patient.
haha! cause like guess what? with three rods we catch only 18 prawns for three hours!
but its okay cause the fun part of prawning is actually when you catch one yourself, you will really a great sense of accomplishment and you will be motivated to catch another one!

//prawning is now my new found hobby.

My grandma's birthday celebration yesterday! (:
HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY! =D

Look at my boy's expression!(:

I am blessed! I am blessed!
Every day that I live I am blessed!
When I wake up in the morning, or I lay my head to rest,
I am blessed! I am blessed!

I lost both my handphone and wallet today. I must say i was really sad about it! But i thank God at least it did not affect my presentation in the morning! (:

Im really becoming a pro in lossing my things which is bad, getting really careless. i had so many expensive lessons but its okay it teaches to be even more careful the next time. but im really still praying very hard that the person would at least return me my wallet cause i have afew cards in my wallet and its expensive to do a replacement card! and hopefully my sim card too cause like lots of contacts are really important to me i need it like seriously. (:
but well.. i shall not worry so much and leave it to God! (:

and yes! so friends, if u happen to want to contact me for the next two days and u cannot get me, you know why.(:

34"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

Oh my! i just realised its been so long ever since i last updated the blog!

I have been really busy ever since christmas. so many parties till im so lazy to go out sometimes. haha!

but it has been a memorable ones and not forgetting that xmas is to celebrate the birth of JESUS! (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! (:

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel(God is with us).

(Isaiah 7:14)

and definately i want to testify that in this year God has been really good to me! this year is definately an amazing year for me. almost completing my first year in polytechnic. i will never forget how i started off in my first sememster struggling cause i wasn't really use to polytechnic system.. it seems like in every 1 month i will have tests and projects that is like never ending. but when it comes to holiday its really a long long one. that's something bad cause when there is so much work to do there seems to be so little time and when it comes to holiday you will have like nothing to do. but well..although my modules was not that easy God saw me through! and i must thank God for my first sememster cause like many papers that i thought that i might have screwed it out it turn out otherwise. He was also my strength whenever i felt so tired and wore out by the things around me. i must say that this year was a year where God really taught me what it means to relay on him totally.

Its was in him that i could be real.even in church this year, it was definately a tough one cause my closest group of friends were separated from me. but yet.. i chose to hang on there cause i know God has place me there for a purpose!(: i must say that the start was really never easy i felt as if i was all alone and the feeling was just horrible. but thank God for he has given me a very supportive sections and i know even many more new friends this year! (:

Every year i believe there will be always different challenges, different changes that we will face. whether it is changes in school, family, friends. problems odd to come our way but in all that, that we have to face. its all about how we want to handle it. we all have a choice to make, we can choose to be very negative or we can choose to be positive. for me i have learnt to take things positively and look upon God for strength.

"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made prefect in weaknewss" Therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That's why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For i am weak, then I am Strong"
2Corinthians 12: 9-10

And i believe next year will be a more exciting year! (((: Just remember that everything happens for a reason. let's learn what it means to keep charging and looking forward and not stay and dwell on it when things goes wrong! (: no matter what happens, whether u are a believer or not. Know that GOD LOVES YOU!

'89 Xmas Party ( 26th Dec)

Leader's Xmas Party(27th Dec)

Section'07 Xmas Party(28th Dec)

looking back in the year 2007

2007-12-22T15:28:00.000+08:00

it's good to look back and see what i've done for the past year and move on with more expectations for the upcoming year. which means this may be a boring and long post to some people. (mundane?) too bad. haha.

for first half of the year, i was struggling with the PL/adam transition thingy. i know it took me a long time. causing me to be a 'zombie' at times when i go to church. ok.. this is super bad. but thank GOD, i gotten out of it. (: i kept using my practical mind to rationalise with things. wondering why would such a thing have to occur. i know i have the answers at that time, but it just couldn't sink in. the feeling was horrible. BUT, thank GOD for sis gwen who sat down and spoke to me abt this issue. the answers finally manage to sink in. it took me sometime to really get out of it. which eventually, im out of it. hehe. anyway, appreciate all the leaders who cared for me. really respect them. they have their own life, own commitments in work, yet they still make the effort to make sure we are fine. i know they have their problems too, but they still went the extra mile. so sweet.

looking back, i've seen how much jerlyn and i grown. if we are together, i think this growth wouldn't have catalyst so quickly. we will rely on one another more, waiting for one another to move, before we will move. when we are out of our comfort zone, we grow a lot. this is super true (: somehow or rather i know this(growth) will happen when we are going to different centres. perhaps i was too myopic and didnt see the long run effects. (sounds like econs. haha)

school- super mundane. with endless tutorials and lecture test and endless lectures and tutorial lessons. not forgetting, the super screwed up timetable that my class shared. school was not interesting when we had to end school so late and lots of breaks in between. at least, im out of it. but there are certain amt of fun injected into tutorials. with all those teasings and crapping. friends who can play along to my lame comments and stupid acts. haha.

friends in church -

jerlyn: seen her grown a lot. very happy for her. friendship still growing strong. so different centres doesnt make any difference. treasure the times when we catch up with one another. i'll never forget the time when we talked in the bus stop. super funny. hahahaha. i guess next yr will be a busier year but a more fruitful year as well. keep on shining girl (:

bernice: my SP!! thank GOD for her grooming me. (: teaching me, guiding me. learnt a lot from her. in terms of discipleship. super hilarious girl who says stupid things that are occasionally funny. haha.

carolyn: brave girl. muscle woman. hahaha. another person who says funny stuff that make me laugh non-stop.

sherlyn: streetsmart!!!! shopping queen. reacts to things that make me laugh too. hahaha. really respect her for hanging on when things doesnt seem right for her. need to learn frm her. (:

of course, got more things to say abt them. but will only say it in their xmas cards. haha. so that's a hint girls.

jc friends- nice bunch of pple on a whole. can play along with my lameness. haha. (:

church camp was good, as usual. my expectations were met. get to know more friends. (: most importantly, encountered GOD. (:

Father's love was great. its more than just the songs, lightings, drama. it's the preaching by pastor gerald that i think it had impacted many lives of the people. (:

going to start work soon. stress? i'll not know, but im expecting it. going to be a whole new experience for me. first job!! haha.

i think that's abt it. shall blog abt my expectation for next year soon. (or perhaps in my personally diary)

2007-12-14T13:56:00.000+08:00

YES YOU! the one reading this blog!

EXCITED!

2007-12-10T00:36:00.000+08:00

this week past by so quickly again. and of course i enjoyed myself. (: there was prom, cclt, chilling out at loyi's hse, dinner with the beloved girls and cousin wedding. being the usual me, i doubt i will post any pics. lazy me. haha.

prom: the emcee was good. food tasted like wedding food so its not too bad afterall. following that went to hard rock cafe. tiring night. but had fun. anw i love my dress. haha. nice colour (:

cclt: learnt a lot. i feel more confident in leading grow now but still little bit fearful. fruitful three day crash course.

chilling out with jc friends: we played pokemon monopoly. hahaha. owner of pokemon monopoly is *******. hahahaha. he felt super paiseh when he was carrying the board game. ok now u know its a he. loyi monopolised the game by buying one of everything. aiyohh!!! but had fun (: budget form of playing.

dinner with the girls: jer updated (: it had been a looooooooonnnggg time since we went out together. never fail to laugh and i miss laughing till my tummy aches. and i think jerlyn, we can stop counting the no. of years we known each other as it will just add to close to infinity. haha. "friends in church are usually friends for life" (: and im glad to have u girls.

wedding: didnt attended church coz of wedding. and i feel weird. super tiring but its a great experience. i was my cousin's jie mei and im the youngest. haha. my cousin forgot that the groom had the keys to her hse. so he came in with his bros when we didnt even had enough of fun. so guys, next time even as u have the keys, just play along and enter the hse when the sisters open the door willingly. which i doubt will take super long time. haha

I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR CAMP!! are u feeling the same way as me? im going with expectations and i want them to be fulfilled. and i know i will receive more than that. (: i just cant wait. haha. friends, let's go with an expectation (:

Father's love is coming up.

Thursday night
Had section bbq at emily's hse!(:
-photos taken from my camera will be uploaded in facebook soon, so you all can go grap it from there(:-
Friday night
met up with meiping, bernice, sherlyn & carolyn! really had a great time with them. time seems to pass so fast before we know it like almost 4 hrs has past! we went ps eat and then chilled at starbucks! and we bought shaker fries', shake, shake, shake!! (((: haha!
and yes, and guess what? we met this group of youths that helped us to take a photo with the CHRISTMAS TREE and we managed to invite them to the father's love. our heart was really beating real fast as we approached nearer the funniest was they thought we want to take another photo. but end up we went forward and brave ber and meiping hand in to them. although we are not sure if they will come but i believe that stepped of passing it to them was a great start. so this is something good when u bring the postcard wherever u go so that u will not miss a chance of inviting someone. (:
-haha. and here's a cute photo of ber!(: -

Saturday night
As a cell we went to eat at.. (oops! i forgot the name). jack something or something jack but whatever it is. it was really a relaxing night. cause like we seldom had some much time to sit eat and chill together as a cell. (:

2007-11-27T10:25:00.000+08:00

For those who thought i didn't have a blog, i do have one. surprise surprise huh?!? But its a shared blog for obvious reasons.

Finally the A's are over. Though its a week late, still better than nothing. now i can sleep without setting alarm clock and just bumming around. it seems meaningless but its super relaxing. wahahaha. now that a's are over, there is a whole new phase in my life i need to adapt quickly.
first up, will be grads cell. thanks for those who are with me and know what i'm going through. i feel super blessed. followed by next year transition into two new services. followed by new district. one after another. SEEMS scary but everything will be fine. (plans to prosper you, not to harm you) (:

oh well.. prom is coming up and im kind of dreading it as i can't find a dress. plus, i don't like to make up and stuff. the only thing im looking forward to is the food. wahahahaha.

GOD pls bless my stomach, intestine, whatever that is causing me to have gastric flu or intestinal problems.

i used to always do that three times a week with him when i was in secondary school.
and many thoughts that came through my mind as i was running with him. and i realised its been so long ever since i really talk to him one to one. and i just enjoyed as we run and talk together! so i've decided to run with him again three times a week efter school(:

and after that daddy drove me to serangoon gardens to meet sheryl,lynne,crystal,laura. they are all my secondary school friends and i must say that its really been long ever since we met after we all went our seperate ways. (: and we were just enjoying and laughing at the silly times and the silly things we did in school. it was just a great time catching up cause it was just so many things that has happened and changed..

looking at every single of one of them yesterday i really missed those good old times we had. although i must say that we are a group that always have arguements but at the end we still really care and love each other alot. (:

today

Beyond the Veil

Verse
Let the melody of my heart Be to You, a song of worship
Let the adoration of my heart Be to You, a symphony

Prechorus
Lord my soul can't live without
Your presence near to me
You're the light of my heart
Draw me close to You

Chorus
Take me now way beyond the veil
Where I can see You
Where I can see You
Jesus, Hold me now within Your arms of love
I wanna be with You
I wanna be with You

Life's greatest battles comes in the shadows of success..

2007-10-18T22:37:00.001+08:00

Today is quite interesting. i went to school for only one hr cause morning tutorial was cancelled and a 2hrs tutorial ended early. (:

so i went bishan with afew girls,leo and ah pek. haha. we stayed there for very long actually went arcade and played basketball (and obviously not to mention that i was super "good" at it. haha!) and some spot the difference game. and guess what? when i went to change money, this auntie actually asked me this : "are you 16 already?" haha. this means i look young of course and obviously infact i am really young. haha. then had my favourite pastamania with angel while the rest went to shop.(: haha. had craving for it just like a pregnant woman.(:

then went back school @ 530pm with angel for kelly poon's school concert.(: haha. i cannot imagine we actually went! but it was out of curosity cause both of us have never been to one before and so we decided to go and see how does a concert look like. haha. and well... it was just like listening to a live music? haha. quite interesting though. (:

2007-10-17T16:09:00.000+08:00

hmmm. its so fast i started my school for three days already. it is quite tiring cause had to buy all my modules notes which was so HEAVY! (: don't really like my monday's timetable actually cause i have like 4hrs of break and its going to be rotting time. haha. but its okay its monday blues you see. LAME! but seriously i shall not complain so much cause at least i must thank God that i only have like one day with 4hrs of break.(:

WOOHOO! and good news jerlyn has started her healthy diet plan! was supposed to do it with one of my classmate, sq! we said to go running at least once a week. but due to her busy schedule we have decided to start next week. but as for me i decided to start today since i ended school like 1pm! it was sort of really tiring i must say cause it is the first time after so long that i started to exercise. but i will be determine cause it will help me keep fit! haha. i cycled to hougang swimming complex, swim, and cycled back home. took me 2hrs. the tiring part was cycling back cause my leg got no strength already! haaha. and i nearly fell down lah cause no strength to go up the slope nearly went backwards instead but lucky i didn't! and of course not forgetting to do situps LATER! haha. must rest first.. let's see if how long this healthy diet plan will last for me. =D

okay gonna rest now. cause might be giving my cousins tution tonight. (:

This is kind of interesting and exciting to share a blog with jerlyn! anyway i have a testimony to share!! kind of timely huh. first entry and it will be a testimony. good start yea.

Here it goes.... i received my prelim results a few weeks ago and was super disappointed with the results. partially because my peers were receiving results tt are way much better than mine. though mine wasnt that bad as i've improved a little from my mid years. but relative to theirs, it appeared bad. i was not only disappointed with myself for not studying hard enough but also disappointed with God. Knowing that bitterness will not be good, i seeked God for peace and healing. He showed me that results are not everything in this world and my purpose is not just all about scoring great results. Futhermore, if i score a not so good results for prelims and score well for a's, it will be a greater testimony compared to scoring well for both prelims and a's. there is a greater contrast. Amazingly, in the same week, someone shared the same 'theory' during fuel discussion period. cool eh. so i've of received reaffirmation and manage to get over emo-ing. 2 weeks after tt, the school wanted us to verify our prelims results and i was thinking, i've just gotten over the emo-ing, now need to face it again? rroooaaarr. when i logged into my account, it reflected grades that differs so great frm my original ones. they've moderated my grades! and its not just one subj but 4 out of 5. how cool is that?

ok, though those moderated grades do not reflect on my true capability but it clearly showed the favour that our wonderful God has placed upon my tutors to even push up my grades. some may say, oh well, if they moderate ur grades, they've probably moderated the rest of the students' grades. but but but..... the fact is tt there is a subj that my friend and i had the same marks but my grade had been pushed up. God has been soooooooooo faithful.

now, i feel sorry for being disappointed with God at first. So, dont underestimate our God yea. For all those mugging hard for national exams, dont be dishearten if u din meet ur expectation, God will just amaze you with the His plans for you. Moreover, it is not the end results that matter, but the process.. though society paints the portrait that of results is everything, but that's not our true purpose in life right? Just pray hard and believe even harder. (: and take this time to stretch your faith to a higher level.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

what route did the maniac take through the forest?
ans: psychopath

haha.

God bless! -meiping (:

Yesterday night as i was reading through one of the book called "growing deep in God" i came across this chapter where the author shared an inspiring story that came through a email. and i decided to type it out and shared it with all of you over here. May all of you be blessed by this, like how i was.

This story was told to Arnold, a retired mission doctor by another another mission doctor in Africa :

"One night, I had worked hard to help a mother in the labour ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying 2-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (there was no electricity to run an no incubator ), nor any special feeding facilities.
Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly, with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stroke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle.
She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst. Rubber perishes easily in tropical climates"And it was our last water bottle!" she exclaimed.
As in the West, it is no use crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no use crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drug stores down forest pathways.
"All right!," I said. "Put the baby near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from the drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm."
The following noon, as i did most days, i went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle.
The baby could easily die if it got chills, i told them about the 2-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.
During the prayer time, one 10-year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. "Please God," she prayed. "send us a water bottle. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon. "
While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added by way of a corollary, "And while you are about it, would you please send a dolly for the little girl, so that she will know that you really love her?"
As often with children's prayer, I was put on the spot. Could i honestly say, "AMEN?" I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yess, I know that he can do anything and everything. The bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending a parcel from the homeland. I had been in African for almost 4 years at the time, and i had never ever received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator!
Halfway through the afternoon, while i was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time i reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the verandah, was a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so i sent for the orphanage children. Together we pulled off the packaging strings, carefully undoing each knot.
We, unfolded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some 40 pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. From the top, i lifted brightly coloured, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as i gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients and the children looked a little bored.
Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a butch of buns for the weekend.
Then as i put my hand in again, i felt the... could it really be? I gasped it eagerly and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new rubber hot water bottle!
I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truely believed that he could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out "if God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly too!"
Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully-dressed dolly. Her eyes shore! She had never doubted! Looking up she asked me, "Can i go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl so she'll know God loves her?"
That parcel has been on the way for 5months. Packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girl's had put in a dolly for an African child- five months before - in answer to the believing prayer of a 10-year-old girl to bring it "that afternoon". "

Aren't God amazing? I was really touched and teared upon reading this! (: He is really a true living God, who sees our future. We do not know what our future may be but He knows it. Can u imagine 5 months ago, God already knew what they needed and like us we might not know what we may happen to us next but God already knows and He even knows all our needs. and all we need to do is pray and ask him earnestly, just like the 10-year-old girl, Ruth. although, Ruth was so young but it was not her prayer that caught my attention but it was her heart. Ruth prayed her heart out and didn't doubt that God will not answer her prayer at all. it was such a simple prayer and all we needed was FAITH to believe not on the usual but the unusual! even sometimes i don't deny that i will doubt but its all of a choice that i choose to make or should i say i want to.

*Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, it is believing in God who hears and answers and even exceeds our prayer. Prayer is not all about us, its all about God! It is not how long or eloqent our prayer is but prayer is all about who God is! (:

patience

I just came back from tuition from not long. Had tuition for my primary 1 cousin for two consecutive days as he will be having his english paper 1 tomorrow.

I nearly died in his house as i was teaching him composition as he was not interested in english at all. Thus it makes it even harder to make him understand and learn. But yet you know what? as i was teaching him although i was really getting impatient and wanting to raise my voice but as i look at him i just want to continue to teach just simply because i love him and i want to get the best out of him and i said a small prayer "God let me be patience with him".

And i thank God i managed to teach him without raising my voice at him and seriously after so much although i don't know how much he absorbed and learnt but still i gave my best in imparting all that i could to him. He is just primary 1 so in the way i also don't wanna frighten him of course. After all i don't need to score full marks but i just want him to at least pass or even get his best score.(:

BE PATIENCE!

In life, patience is something so hard to grap hold of. somtimes we just get so impatience over so many things: like waiting for bus, waiting for friends, waiting for answers, waiting for the dinner to start, waiting for the boring lectures to end, waiting to want to know the ending of the korean serial and even waiting upon God and sometimes we get impatient of it. and we demand for the results immediately. but well.. just like teaching my lil cousin PATIENCE is the only key and the only way!

PATIENCE is the ability and willingness to wait a long time or to carry out a task that takes a long time, especially one that is by itself not heavy, but boring. It also means not easily getting angry or not showing anger in situations of human communication where the other is unreasonable.

So friends, if u are someone impatience why not each time u get impatience try praying to God just like i did. It might be just a small prayer but yet God hears us.

PATIENCE IS INDEED A VIRTUE!
