sink or swim. [ Sun Oct 11th, 2009/ 10:12pm ] nothing much to say, only that i think i haven't been thankful for a lot of things. a lot of times, its just me thinking that i'm entitled to things - good service, good friendships, to be spiritually "fed" - when it should be me being thankful instead. i should see things/people as gifts, and not only that, cling to the Giver, not the gifts. trying, still.

chasing pavements. [ Sat Oct 3rd, 2009/ 12:11am ] tonight, snow patrol's on repeat. + tutorial was rather frustrating today. it felt more philosophical than concrete. the most salient point about the discussion about moral education was the gap between belief and action, the dichotomy between theory and practice. + thought of the verse in James: "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." quite a timely reminder. + was rather demoralised at lunch by lai's friends' discussions about grades. am still struggling with comparing and being satisfied with what God has given me. + keep falling asleep on the bus, even though i slept quite well last night. + seeing church people is good (: should have gotten starbucks tho. + watched Fame. its quite a feel-good movie. not much plot but entertaining. glad i caught it, just nice after a long week. the bus ride home was happy, i feel light. thanks for the thoughtful conversation my dear shrink <3 and also glad to be able to catch up with lindy (: hope my girls come for bible study, am quite excited from preparing :) READ (3) post comment

this my solitary vision, till i only dwell in Thee. [ Sat Sep 26th, 2009/ 12:35am ] i think there is much to thank God for, yet its always locked somewhere at the back of my mind that i don't realise/say it. reading xinying's post was inspiring (yes its true!). the week has flown by, and the coming week is looming with much dread and deadlines. but despite all that God's been awesome. i still struggle with managing my time, feeling guilty for wanting to study more, not spending enough time being still before Him. but through the week He's been blessing me through many people and things. (: + thank God for uni spg (the bunch of us). i think i feel like we're somehow growing closer, and helping each other along. nice to have people to study with. + first songs i hear everyday have been quite relevant - just when i feel far from God, the first song i heard this morning was Hymn by Brooke Fraser: If to distant lands I scatter, if i sail to farthest seas would you find and firm and gather, till I only dwell in Thee? + i thank God for best friends! nice to be able to study and talk much with lai on tuesday, and also corli today at smu (: it kind of keeps me sane and reminds me to be accountable, that i'm not doing things alone. + catch up sessions through out the week. although my head was stressed to the max about work, my heart was so warmed by many of those i met up with!  lunch with joy and huiyi was inspiring to say the least. joy shared much about China and Huiyi talked about the social work situation and although we all were at one point depressed about bureaucracy, we realised that You are above all of man's complicated structures and You alone can make a difference. (: also, chompchomp with ky was good, so happy that we could catch up after so long. its nice to see how our future dreams are somehow aligned. am encouraged by her heart to serve people, and give herself for His work. quiet dinner with shaun. sorry if you were bored but its always nice to spend time relaxing with you. (: + thank God that He's helped me be somewhat fruitful (in terms of catching up on reading and understanding some mods) despite falling ill + thank God for today's fg at marina barrage. was initially quite tired and felt ill and wanted to go home, but i'm glad i went. glad to be nuah and chill out with arts people (: managed to have some time to slow down and think. am quite afraid of next week's deadlines, 3 tests, 1 essay. but i pray i'll do what is important and not whats urgent. that i'll learn to give God all the control.
