i saw this at my friends blog. found it very meaningful, so i decided to post it. haha. if u have read it and find it meaningful as well, feel free to post it on ure blog. God bless!

Hello. I’m with a global enterprise. We have branches in every country in the world. We have representatives in nearly every parliament and boardroom on earth. We’re into motivation and behaviour alteration. We run hospitals, feeding stations, crisis-pregnancy centres, universities, publishing houses, and nursing homes. We care for our clients from birth to death. We are into life insurance and fire insurance. We perform spiritual heart transplants. Our original Organizer owns all the real estate on earth plus an assortment of galaxies and constellations. He knows everything and lives everywhere. Our product is free for the asking. (There’s not enough money to buy it.) Our CEO was born in a hick town, worked as a carpenter, didn’t own a home, was misunderstood by his family and hated by his enemies, walked on water, was condemned to death without a trial, and arose from the dead. I talk with him every day.

I AM A PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED. I HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER. THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST. I HAVE STEPPED OVER THE LINE. THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. I AM A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST. I WON’T GO BACK, LET UP, SLOW DOWN, BACK AWAY OR BE STILL.

MY PAST IS REDEEMED, MY PRESENT MAKES SENSE, MY FUTURE IS SECURE. I AM FINISHED AND DONE WITH LOW LIVING, SIGHT WALKING, SMALL PLANNING ,SMOOTH KNEES, COLOURLESS DREAMS, TAMED VISIONS, MUNDANE TALKING, CHEAP GIVING AND DWARFED GOALS.

I NO LONGER NEED PREEMINENCE, PROSPERITY, POSITION, PROMOTIONS, PLAUDITS OR POPULARITY. I DON’T HAVE TO BE RIGHT, FIRST, TOPS, RECOGNISED, PRAISED, REGARDED OR REWARDED. I NOW LIVE BY FAITH, LEAN ON HIS PRESENCE, LOVE WITH PATIENCE, LIFT BY PRAYER AND LABOUR WITH POWER.

MY FACE IS SET, MY GAIT IS FAST, MY GOAL IS HEAVEN, MY ROAD IS NARROW, MY WAY IS ROUGH, MY COMPANIONS FEW, MY GUIDE IS RELIABLE AND MY MISSION CLEAR.

I CANNOT BE BOUGHT, COMPROMISED, DETERRED, LURED AWAY, TURNED BACK, DELUDED OR DELAYED. I WILL NOT FLINCH IN THE FACE OF SACRIFICE, HESITATE IN THE PRESENCE OF ADVERSITY, NEGOTIATE AT THE TABLE OF THE ENEMY, PONDER AT THE POOL OF POPULARITY OR MEANDER IN THE MAZE OF MEDIOCRITY.

I WON’T GIVE UP, BACK UP, LET UP OR SHUT UP UNTIL I’VE PREACHED UP, PRAYED UP, PAID UP, STORED UP AND STAYED UP FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. I AM A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST. I MUST GO UNTIL HE RETURNS, GIVE UNTIL I DROP, PREACH UNTIL ALL KNOW AND WORK UNTIL HE STOPS ME.

AND WHEN HE COMES TO GET HIS OWN, HE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM RECOGNISING ME. MY COLOURS WILL BE CLEAR FOR “I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES.” (Romans 1:16)

2007! a new school year. everything is different nw. all the new subjects, all the new ppl.

ORIENTATION! man my OGLs are like crappy! haha. but give them some credit they tried their best. reminds me of how i was during the exchange program last year. so serious and then never played any games just introduced names and hobbies. HAHA. well ppl learn from past experiences i guess. haha. so it was up to me and alvin to like bond the whole OG together. four gals: bobbie debbie aisha and sarah. 16 guys: me, alvin, eugene, tek, zhang, mervyn, ted kin, fabris,ian, zhen yi, damien, charles, two indians who i cant spell their names, and my two ogls. in the end i think we mixed around quite well i guess. except the geps but then again, they are geps so wth, who cares. haha.

games were so-so. most were dirty filthy sick disgusting twisted sadistic games. only the last day when we had the acsiting race, it was great cuz it was so slack and clean! WONDERFUL. although we had to make a fool of ourselves, but hey im used to it. ha. and MOUNT DOVER WON! not like it matters. its just for the fun of it. haha.

nw SAC has a new extension. we finally have REAL pratas! as in REAL COOKED B4 U OILY CRISPY AUTHENTIC PRATAS! haha. yummy. nw if i need a budget meal i know where to go. haha. nw have to wear the new tie too. haha. at first i thought it was ugly. but when i wore it it looked quite nice. maybe its just me, everything just looks nice on me.

SHAUN LIM SHAUN LIM! haha. hip hair style sia. and he has a crush crush crush! haha. so amusing! imagine. shaun lim in love. zomg LOLROFLMAO! nvm shaun lim ill help intro u no worries. woooo. im such a great and caring friend la.HAHA. jk.

yeah of course in every school theres always a number of crashers. a bunch of former acsi express ppl came back to crash. all of them acting like a bunch of gangsters. tried to pick a fight with one of the newbies. pretending like they are so tough??? like they kept saying “hey i saw u staring at me! not happy ah? whats ure problem?? u new down here dont fuck her fuck there ah! and so on so forth.” all talk no action. during the barker fight where were the bunch of ure to beat up the barker ppl huh? all ran away. and the new guy was so dumb. told him to ignore tht bunch of fools he went to argue with them. saying what peace and respect. dots. u just dont negotiate with a bunch of primitive apes. so in the end we had to step in and prevent him from causing more trouble. haha. anyway. i bet if we didnt interfere, the guys wouldnt do anything pls.

yeah school is still very slack nw. subjects havent been fixed yet. i wanted to take both econs and business and management. but turns out tht option isnt open. and they arent offering further maths. not like i wanted to take it. but all these last min notices. wa lau. so nw i decided to take history instead.
so my subject options are:

option 1:
higher level- Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics.
Standard level- English A1, Chinese B and History.

option 2:
same higher level subjects as option 1.
standard level- Englsih A1, Chinese B and Physics

options 3:
same higher level subs as option 1 and 2.
standard level- English A1, Chinese B and Geography.

hopefully ill get my first option and then i hope it wont be an intact class. so i can get to meet more ppl. haha.

guitar orchestra. what can i say. i cant really complain about guitar cuz it cant really get any worse. so yeah things have been picking up. great tht we have 3 newcomers and 2-4 pending guitar orch members for our senior ensemble. wasnt easy. cuz how many ppl play the guitar? and how many can read notes and play guitar? and if thts not enough, u try picking a random 100 ppl of the streets and find out how many can do the above. yeah.

lectures are boring the pants off me. i just have to stuggle everyday to keep myself awake. cant wait for classes to start. haha. anyone have any ideas what to do during boring lectures? haha.

ok enough for today. hope for a great school year ahead! WOO!

CHEERS!

so christmas. so fast it just goes by. all the Ham and turkeys. cant believe how sick of such stuff one can get. haha.

guitar orchestra. amazing how ppl can just come for guitar and dont practise. and when u ask them whether they have finished the song they go no. then they still just sit there and talk. i just feel like strangling them all to death. seriously.

last monday. wore a tie to church. HAHA. once i get the pictures ill upload them. anyway. i was supposed to play guitar for hokkien minisitry. but my sis didnt tell me about it until the day itself. so i was quite unprepared and i didnt really want to play the guitar for hokkien ministry? then when i went there i found out tht they left the guitar at the restaurant where we had our christmas lunch. so i just felt like god was telling me if u dont have the right heart to play for god, then dont play. yeah. so i felt really reproachful. haha.

and then i tried to talk to teacher lucy and tell her about my decision to quit children ministry? Lo and BEHOLD she just turned the tables around on me and made me sound so foolish and stuff for quitting children ministry. HAHA. felt like such a fool. but i still think i want to quit children ministry so yeah see how lo. so nw im still in children ministry. sighs.

ok school starting soon. seriously this is the first time im looking forward to school starting. haha. holidays have been a drag. and next year the first few months would be super slack so yeah. WOO. haha. not to mention all the new friends ill be having next year. ahaha.

no more holiday blues for me woo! haha.

CHEERS!

hey…

i know its a long time since i posted. haha. just cant seem to think of things to blog about. nw with school over theres hardly anything to blog about. hahaha.

well. YOUTH CAMP! let the PASSION ARISE! haha. was quite fun and enjoyable being the grp leader. haha. i just love tht sense of authority. and besides that also got to lead devotions and reallly cuz myself to be closer to god. haha.

anyway we played the game of life. where they give u a slip of paper which tells u what kind of education level u have, what job u hold and how much inheritance u have. then u have to earn more money by the “stock market”, upgrading ure education and job or investing in “property”. yeah sounds rubbish but WOO HOO im the top earner in the camp with a WHOPPING 8.196 million! hahaha. rubbish. but i “rejected” all the ppl who tried to share the 4 spiritual laws with me. trying to “convert” me into a christian. cuz u also start out with a certain religion. hahaha. so what if i had tht much money in the end im “not” a christian also lose all my money in death. hahaha. yeah. so those filthy rich ppl please to not pay too much attention to ure earthly wealth but instead look for ure riches in HEAVEN! yeah!

so in the youth camp i faced this problem that ive been facing. which ministry to drop? cuz im nw serving in the hokkien ministry, children ministry and youth worship ministry. then i feel tht i need to drop one of these ministries? like last time i kept holding on to all three ministries cuz i kept saying to myself tht i must PERSEVERE! carry on for god’s sake! yeah. but during the youth camp even though they talked about persevering, but some of my camp members shared about the importance of learning the right time to give up. like sometimes it isnt always the best thing to hold on to something u dont really enjoy. so i guess i enjoy playing for youth worship ministry, i enjoy seeing the wondrous way the old ppl just worship god in the hokkien ministry. but somehow i do not look forward to children ministry? especially after a meeting where they said tht those of us in the children ministry need to hug the children more and show our love to them kinda thing. then i just thought to myself, huh, im not tht kinda person. so yeah. i guess maybe its the best thing to just quit the children ministry. hope god will grant me his wisdom in this decision. hahaha.

so yeah after the exams i sort of stopped doing my quiet time regularly? cuz during exams i felt tht i was too busy to do quiet time. so after tht i stopped my quiet time for a long time. then after exams i only did my quiet time like 2, 3 times a week? so during the camp i realised the importance of quiet time, of spending quiet time alone with god to hear him speak to us? yeah. so on thursday, i decided to go and start doing my quiet time regularly. then i flipped my devotion book open and then the bible reading for tht day just struck me! like TOTALLY! i just felt like god was like right there shouting to me.

JOHN CHAPTER 15
1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

4. Remain in me, and I will remain in you, NO branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can u bear fruit unless u remain in me.

5. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and i in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

i read this passage and i was like so struck by the repetition of the words “Remain in me, and i will remain in you.” it was like so encouraging when i decided to go back to my regular quiet time, then i see such a promise from god. its way cool! its BEYOND cool man. my god totally rocks big time! hahaha.

so yeah today was invited to living sanctuary brethen church by ling jia. haha. thanks for the invite again. was a new experience for me to go to another church. although i have gone to others b4, every new church i go to is a new experience. haha. but it was a good concept for the service. a LOVE LETTER from god. haha. cool. god wrote a love letter to u like 2000+ years before u were born. haha.

recently i also went to a event organised by st james church. invited by joyce. haha. its all about wheres ure destination in life? haha. whether u decide to go to the drugs and violence destination? or the jealousy and hatred destination? or the depressed and suicide destination? haha. we all have a CHOICE. will we decide to go to the wrong destination, or would we decide to go towards a destination called HEAVEN? haha. its ure choice. u decide.

and yeah the speaker said something tht really made me ponder. imagine ure the host of a party. many ppl come to ure house for the party. many ppl eat the food u provide at the party. many people relax and chill out and chat with the other people u invited at the party. and no one bothers to talk to you, no one says thanks, everyone just ignores u???? imagine that. that host is actually our god. we live happily in HIS world. we happily enjoy the luxuries HE has provided for us. we have friends and have relationships with people HE put into our lives. yet most of us decide to ignore him. most of us dont give thanks to him. most of us rather pretend this god does not exist. its saddening, yes it is. and his birthday is coming and most of the ppl at his party dont even care about it??? sad.

yeah anyway its christmas soon, which celebrates the birth of christ. not about some witless old fat git in a red suit and sporting an uncomely white beard, who’s name “coincidentally” rearranges to form the word “satan”. so lets come all ye faithful and celebrate. haha.

CHEERS!

holidays. not as exciting as i expected. spending almost everyday at home. boring. hahaha. without a computer, without cable and dvd/vcd players, i can only watch channel 5/ kids central. how boring. hahaha.

so occasionally i go out and gym, to exercise. haha. if not i keep feeling like im rotting at home. haha. luckily nw i have some books to past away my time. haha. this makes me realise tht actually school is quite fun, except during the exam period. so many friends in school and a lot of activities. haha.

yeah last sunday WILD WILD WET. hahaha. supposed to have much more ppl going, but everyone suddenly had other commitments and stuff. but overall i reasoned tht less ppl was actually more fun. haha. and so sorry vanessa for causing u to be grounded! hahaha. so paiseh.

yeah everyone hope u have wonderful holidays! cheers!



i dont know if u meant what u said, but lets not overreact? ull rather forget everything over something so small? haha. i hope not. ah well. its not ure fault neither is it my fault. so i dont understand. but over something so small???? hmmmm. yeah expect the unexpected.

HEY! finally im posting again huh??? hahaha. i know this may be a bit late but thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday on 5th nov! haha. really appreciated the care and gifts that ure have given me. hahaha. and a friend of mine asked me, why do u like ppl to bake for u? haha. well, its true that i feel very very touched when ppl bake stuff for me. cuz i wont want my good friends to splurge so much money on me buying expensive gifts. and sometimes ppl try and convey their strong friendship with u by buying expensive gifts. that i understand and appreciate a lot a lot. actually i would also appreciate it a lot if ppl just gave me a nice homemade card or make some art and crafts, or to bake something for me. cuz theres a lot of effort put into such things and that is really really touching. haha. so thanks to my church cell and ling jia and ci jie for baking for me! HAHA. if i could bake ill bake for ure birthdays also la. hahaha. but too bad i cant bake, unless ure wanna go down with a bad case of food poisoning, so maybe ill try something else. HAHA.

yeah so now im finally 16. hooray. so its time for reflection. many people say im superficial. thats true i guess. but the thing is. there is a part in EVERYONE that is superficial. oh come on dont lie. dont tell me that looks dont matter to u. haha. sure some people care more about looks then others, but ultimately everyone cares about looks whether to a large or small extent. let me explain y looks is partly important to me. in any relationship, there must be ATTRACTION! without attraction, a relationship wont last. without attraction, a relationship is not strong. basically, any relationship without attraction would not fare well. so what creates that feeling of attraction? attraction is mainly caused (i think) by looks, personality, brains and sadly, money. if u ever get into a relationship with anyone, u must feel tht ure partner looks good. right? if not it wouldnt be good in the long run, if u ever get married, u know what i mean. so my partner has to look good. haha. beyond a shadow of a doubt. must look good. haha. of course looking good isnt enough, must have a few other qualities too.

ok this are a few qualities and traits that i look out for in a gal. haha.
(* means very important)

slim*( slim as in slim not shaun lim)
fit
humourous*
not too sensitive*
good-looking** (subjective to me only)
smart**
responsible
trusting
GOD FEARING ***
domesticated (able to cook proper meals, able to do housework)
clean
talkative ( not too talkative)
doesnt watch korean dramas (HAHAHAHA)
isnt crazy over dumb chinese singers (HAHAHAHA again)
and most importantly, LOVES ME*********

hahaha. i think its quite an acceptable list. but of course sometimes u know the some of the things i look for are negotiable. hahaha. except the important asterixed ones. hahahaha.

once again. thank u all who remembered my birthday. hahaha.

cheers!

and end to yet another school year. this year has been a great great year for me i must admit. haha. time to do a reflection of the school year gone past.

start of the year. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM! great fun! super posh hotels! 6 star man! exclusive one of a kind toilets, top notch bathing facilities, confortable and spacious beds, complete with silk bedsheets and cushions. (SARCASM x 10). but was fun la, the bonding and all, the lack of luxuries and entertainment caused us to appreciate friendship even more. haha.

guitar camp, hmmmm, was my first as one of the committee. interesting, especially the night games. haha. although was quite disappointed when 3 quarters of the committee came back from dinner one hour late. but overall was fun.

exchange program with PLMGSS. was quite good overall la. learnt a lot, learnt to be more sensitive, to watch what i say, for girls are such sensitive creatures. learnt that our guitar orchestra has quite a lot to learn from them.

final exams. was quite good. happy with my results yeah. thank god for it. haha.

these are just individual events. haha. lots of stuff have happened in this year and i thank god for it.

becoming a committee member of guitar orchestra.

getting to know a great friend like joyce teo. haha. (see im so nice)

joining the worship team.

meeting new friends.

good results for final year.

finally. guitar guitar guitar. i love the guitar. but the guitar orchestra just constantly pushes ure passion to the limit. we have people who just say, “if i dont feel like coming i wont come lo”. and people who believe that the best way to encourage others to come for guitar is to , ” try and attend all the practices ureself.” crap. the standard of guitar is dropping like crazy, sec 1s that cant play a decent tune. sec 3s that still arent up to scratch, and those that do dont have the right attitude. and other people blaming others for their own incompetency. get real. we arent a charity organization. if u aint good enough, u get the cut. simple as tht. dont push the blame. and ppl wanting to leave guitar, its ure choice, no one is holding u back. go, since u feel that ull be much happier without guitar orchestra, we wouldnt want to hold u back.

whew there, got it off my chest, ppl pls shape up la if u want to stay in the guitar orchestra. SYF year, it isnt a joke. we have to strive to achieve what we have not, the gold with honours. its no joke.

wooo. guess ill have to hold off the interesting post to the next one then. haha.

CHEERS!
