these are the smart people whom most ppl will think unapproachable or too clever for us normal pplz to mix around with... well I must say they are really fun and yeah.. intelligent!
went to facilitate these scholars during a programme organised for them. enjoyed myself very much.. haha. it was the 1st time i heard so many languages spoken at the same time.. i mean it is frustrating not able to understand what they were saying. hah anyway.. it was really fascinating :)
I was so amazed at their flexibility, creativity and agility...etc.. they are quick to think of wonderful solutions to their problems and determined to reach their goals. No doubt they are the elite, I saw their limitations. No matter how gifted a person is, we are still limited. a lack of resources, a lack of patience, a lack of determination, a lack of kindness and stuff like that.. but everyone is at least capable and strong in something. And it is when each of us are willing to explore and use our God-given talents wisely, cooperating with those who have other gifts, can we succeed.. No man can stand alone. Hm... am I making sense..?
Woot.. anw.. this month had been a hectic 1.. this year has passed at just the wink of my eye.. competitions, JCT, prelims, A levels, orion, airways, start of project Serve.. my year was filled with tests and exams.. but finally it's over :) I thank God for the different trials this year.. my life has never been this fulfilling. Though it was though i suppose, (I wondered how i survived 2005, haha with extra committments and responsibilities, I wasnt retained..haha) I lived this year truly by God's grace and mercy! There's more for me to reflect upon what happened this whole year and plan for the next.. as I enter a new phase of my life.. new challenges.. hmm like work, uni, ... new responsibilities again.. hee. Have you made your new year resolutions?

Narnia is really good.. .you guys should go and watch it!! :) While I was watching the part when Santa came to give different gifts to the children... I tot that it is true that God has given each of us different gifts.. some of us may not have the sword that Peter has but we might get that magical potion that Lucy received. It also goes to show that each of us has different roles to play in church, in life. When we are given different strengths and gifts, it does reveals the responsibilities we are also given. So when the movie proceeds to the part when Azlan has passed and Peter got to lead the whole group of army to fight the white witch, i wonder how often I was like Peter. Afraid that I am not up to the job I was given. I forgot that when I am given a responsibility, I am given orders by people who recognise my strengths and trust in me totally. Azlan trusted Peter. God trusted me to have placed me my current positions. Authorities that God placed above trusted me to do what I am given. But too often.. I find myself struggling.. with unnecessary fears..When Peter finally lead the army to fight the witch, it was a grand scene. It was war between the good and evil. Likewise we are in a battle of good and evil. Though it is not a physical war, but perhaps more often than not, we find ourselves, or rather I find myself stuck in a situation when I cant decide if what I have done, or what I am going to do correct or wrong...Knowing that Jesus has already conquered evil, cos "death work backwards.." Jesus has risen.. I asked myself at that moment, He has died for me, will I be willing to fight that battle against the evil, for Him.. Will I even be willing to step into that battlefield if the price I may have to pay is my life...Will I..?Jesus has died for you today.. Will you also accept His love for you and fight the war against the evil..?

Hey ppl.. thanks for visiting my blog(even though there's nth much here) and for all who have been praying for me.. thanks! You probably would have been wondering what i've been doing recently... aft my As...
Well.. i had camps and carolling practices and....
basically now i am serving at a christian organisation - Singapore Youth For Christ.(SYFC)
I am thankful that after being a professing Christian since sec1, I finally know what being a follower of Christ truly mean last year. Now that I have understood what Jesus has done for me and my service is only but a mean of gratitude towards God, please pray that I would be focus as I serve Him in SYFC.
I have decided to take part in a programme organized by Singapore Youth For Christ – Project Serve. Project Serve is a short-term holiday program aimed at giving students the opportunity to serve God in a full-time capacity by bringing the gospel to other teenagers. I will be serving from the 19th Dec 2005 til 10th Mar 2006. I think committing more time to know more about God, share the Gospel and learn more about myself is the most meaningful way to spend my holidays.
In these two months, please pray that I will be able to reach out to 100 students through the various means like street evangelism, personal evangelism, event evangelism, evangelistic bible studies. I will be given opportunities to plan and execute evangelistic projects and to nurture new converts too. Please also pray that I will be faithful in preparing Bible studies for the interested students.
Other than doing the work of the gospel, regular Bible study lessons are incorporated as part of the curriculum to ensure that I grow spiritually, having a Godly attitude and correct perspective as I carry out my role. I will also be equipped with the revelant skills to fulfill my responsibilities effectively.
Before I start this whole new term, I would like to ask that you pray along with me that I may have a correct motivation as I go about doing the work of the Gospel as I tend to be distracted by the temptations of the world. May you also pray that I may have humility and a teachability as I am being corrected by my mentors. This is so that I may serve with a correct attitude and work in harmony with my brothers and sisters.
YEP.. so in a nutshell.. this is what im going to do.. and these are also my prayers.. so do keep me in YOUR prayer ya..? I would really appreciate that=)

The day You saved me
Your love so gripped me
What mattered in past
Becomes ties to be cut
Your Word made me see
My life couldn't be
The same as the world
When I follow Thee
Chorus:
I'm set apart a stranger in this world
No more at home at peace with the ways of this world
Your spirit keeps me going in this race
Till I meet you in a better place
Until then I really need your grace
The journey of faith
Your Spirit You gave
To show me Your way
Should I go astray
But often I do
Prone to sin, grieving You
Lord, please do hold my hand
With Your strength I shall stand
Towards heaven my home
My Lord, I'll behold
Where tears no more flow
Death no longer holds
So onward I go
Your glory's my goal
So help me O Lord
That my steps may be bold
When I fall Lord you will pick me up
Lord please keep me faithful to the end
