Sometimes in life, God wants us to meet a few wrong people… so when the right one comes along, we would know what a gift is…

read it somewhere.. got me thinking for a moment.
and i realised how true it is.

yep..christmas is finally over.
i had a great time this year.
had service, went holland v for coffee and then to dear's house for dinner.
think we were a rowdy bunch at coffee bean eh! haha.

althou it's simple this year but i really enjoyed myself.
had pizza for dinner.. his bro treated.
his mum gave me chocs, youngest bro gave me a book and a soft toy!
and i got my biggest gift from him! hehz.
stayed quite late so i took a cabby home..
the driver drove at 120km/h! haha.. but he was a nice guy. i put my stuffs at his car boot and when i reached my house, he actually got down and helped me carry my stuffs to my lift lobby! not bad ah..

no intention to go out today..
since i got no music prac too..

haven blogged for a week!
well.. camp was simply fantastic.

i gotta admit that i think i was a sotong on the first day of camp.
juz too many things to handle but at it goes on, i found it alright..
haiz..the most difficult part of the camp would be the fact that i have to wake up early to get the others up..esp on the last day.
but all in all, i had fun myself too.

was reali glad for God's grace on the camp com and leaders, asst leaders thru the camp
though some of us were sick but none reached the stage that we need to leave the camp to see a doc.
and thou we slept at queer hours and wake up at ever queerer hours, we still had the energy to last us thru the entire camp.
it was really evident how much we depended on God's strength and not our own strength.

oh..and my group was simply fantastic.
first day all so quiet and shy..but i guess the ice reali broke during the second day games where they piah like mad cos we were second last among everyone so we wanted to catch up.
and of cos..we did. we were first that day.
and it's amazing to see how matt chew and jianyong were so FAST during my station game! i was half afraid they would fall..

and fun night was..haha.
im speechless. hilarious man!
yup.. i juz wanna thank God for this wonderful camp.. thank the camp com for their efforts and of cos..the leaders, asst leaders for their hard work and help too.

and once again, i learnt the lesson of honouring God.
becos once again, He showed me how i am blessed when im serving Him despite my busy schedule.
i must say that oct and nov period were crazy.. i had to prepare for exams and yet the same time, prepare for camp.
i had wanted to leave camp stuffs till after my exams but i realised it might be too late so i started during my exams period.
and even though sometimes i realy din wan to attend youth or prayer meeting during my exams, i still did.
and God honors.
He din give me extra time to study of cos..but He gave me the wisdom and understanding far beyond my comprehension.
and He gave me the assurance that i need so badly.

checked my results yday.
and i juz had to thank God for it cos there is no way i could have done the way i did without surrending and trusting Him.
it was my best grade in my three sems so far.
so..im again convicted that..
when we honour God, He honours us back..much much more.

sniff sniff..
*ahh chooooo..

oh no.. i can't fall sick
hmm..must be the chilling weather. =/

these few days been a merry-go-round ride..
i seemed to be doing the same thing over and over again.
everyday i wake up..switch on my comp..
and then i will receive a call or sms..
some one signed up for camp.

*click
opened my camp files..
re-do groupings, update nominal roll, check tee sizes, tell tina so that we have enuff food, call up grp lders to tell them the changes..
and i thought i could almost hear them go "oh no.. changes again!"
but of cos.. i dun mind doing these if it meant more pre-believers getting to hear abt God.

im supposed to go buy more cloths to sew more pouches and attach the pouches to the 'scroll'..
but i juz can't get my butt out of my house and head down to clementi.
and so.. delay delay ..

becky and gang are waiting to slaughter me.
clara is going to scream at me.
candice is going to nag at me.

i guess i better get going.

i had such fun today that i totally forgot my elective result was out this morning!
never did it cross my mind until now..haha.
got a B for it. for the module which asked me queer questions like sex and sexuality.

yep..went down st marg's today to talk to the principal.
she's one nice lady..much much much..way way way better than the army-trained and army-brainwashed and army-saturated OM!
that guy really goes by the book..and when i spoke to the principal, he was around and all the while, he wasn't helping me to get a lower price but insisted on the usual charges!
thank God..the principal was really nice. the moment she asks me abt pastor and church, i knew things were going to be okie.

had breakfast at little india.. had prata, indian rojak and roti john. and i had my favourite teh aliah..
watched 'brother bear'. crappy movie but overall, i think it's still not bad.
wanling said she cried..haha.!
and we were so glutton we finished half the nachos and popcorns before the show even started! wahaha.
yep..had a nice time today. i feel as though im back to jc days..in my 17 or 18. haha!

back from leaders' meeting in holland village an hour plus ago.
had sharings..and more sharings.
so many meetings and events coming up.. hmm.
dec is kinda packed. and by the time im free once again, school is starting.
but well..at least i spend my time doing things for Him. =)

something hit me these few days..
it reminded me of the importance of spending quality and not quantity time with God.
and too many times..i felt myself being carried away by ministries and youth camp.
and then i had to pull myself back to square one and questioned on my walk with God.

looking back at this entire year, i realised the extent of the grace of God..of His provision and His love.
everything that happened this year..wasn't anything i would expect at the end of last year.
but well.. His plans are awesome!
and im glad..becos my future lies in His Hands.

yep..there was an overwhelming thankfulness in my heart as i sat down thinking of how He has carried me through different circumstances this year and how He has taught me several valuable lessons..and how He has changed a lot of my mindset and thoughts.
thank you Daddy.

gonna sleep now.
meeting wanling, michelle and celine for breakfast if nothing crops up tmr..
and guess where?
little india!
