hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! i'm back! alas! haha! sorry about missing e last one peeps!! i just totally forgot. anyway lots has happened and i'm not so sure what to start with first!!! FIRSTLY, i just wanna thank EVERYONE who came for e choir concert!! my fams and friends THANK YOU! it did mean alot to me. just after all those practice sessions to try and bless ya'll with our music was.. fulfilling :D anyway, ka jenny's BACK!!!! woohooo!everything kinda changes around here when she's back (whether you notice it or not ka jenny) really! it's like a part of us comes back, and we're.. one again! hehe. oh wells! love you lots lots lots ka jenny!!! we just came back from bali!! so i'm alot more energy to post now! hehe. bali was amazing! well, the villa was anyway! we were totally pampered (thanks mommy!!) and relaxed.. something i hadn't felt in a looong while :D so i decided i would type about 10 things i learnt in bali (don't ask why i'm in a queer mood) : 1. bali's expensive man! 2.no one can quite make tomato sambal like mom does! :) 3. i CANNOT get pampered without feeling extremely guilty 4. i need to spend more alone time with God!!! 5. bali has the cutest children on the face of this earth 6. there's no place like home (singapore :D) 7. i still wanna become a farmer (it's now more appealing than ever!) 8. the bali-lizards are different from singapore-lizards! :D oh oh!! yes i saw some of the weirdest insects!! AND AND AND at one point, i was either sitting on/beside a HUGE cockroach. it was seriously huge! actually.. it was more like.. long. ughughugh. 9. watching a movie with your family is a must during any holiday! 10. and of course bali's rich heritage and art work and all that :p and that's about it!!! oh ya! and that my family's weirder than i thought! but then again who am i to speak :) i've beenr eading this book which i got for x-mas. what's so amazing about grace and it's really given me a while new perspective on things. about guilt, about forgiveness and grace. i think most of all these holidays i made a commitment to live my life with more grace and LOVE. doing my quiet time in bali many verses just jumped out at me and God's just been leading me in e way i should be going in school esp.people i should be loving more, things i should be doing less. i've been reading the old testament for my wuiet time and i've always thought there wasn't much for me to learn from it but boy was i wrong! i realised it was about reading and then thinking about how God wanted me to use that piece of scripture in my life now in my context. one verse that really stood out for me was from Deuteronomy 5: So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess - Deuteronomy 5:32-33 Well God was speaking to Moses and instructing him on how to lead the Israelites but i know He was speaking to me too. that verse reminded me of the famous verse in Hebrews - let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles , and let us run with perseverence the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. i can't be turning left or right wanting to indulge in this or that sin, wanting to plan my own life and try to lead it another way that's not of God. i gotta keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and go in e path He's planned for me. and i gotta keep praying and lettin God lead me int hat way, i think i've gotten way off track. trying to control my life by myslef. i just gotta let go and let God! it's the only way :D and i have a horrible feleing that UNFORTUNATELY enough, God's plan ISN'T for me to become a farmer. although it still is my dream.. to work on the paddi fields.. and mainly not study.. ahhh.. oh wells. i gotta study now. acuse there's no land in singapore anyway. and i can then probably only go into hydroponics and i've totally gone out of point already. okaysss. love you all! but i have to return to my work! :) toodles!
