Above all,
thank God for all that happened.
Ma and Pa left early this morning. Actually I thought I would keep crying and crying non stop? My emotions were just getting a hold of me and when Ma prayed for me (while Pa was at the toilet hahahah), I just rested in her embrace and her prayer to God, thanking God for His providence, His protection, His plans and His presence. 凡是都交投给神.
But here are the...
This is the last day
I feel it strongly. :(
“praying for God to reveal His calling for you and then for the courage and obedience to live out His will for you.”
“Psalm 23:1-6”
Thank you for the care and love :)
Hahaha I have the cutest mum ever. She can’t get to sleep thought it’s like 12.49am, so she wants to go outside to the kitchen and make ngoh hiang. In the middle of the night. Mama <3
the truth is
Yesterday was my first day in Oz! It wasn’t a truly horrible day, but here’s what I thought.
“My heart is so sad.
How to explain. I didn’t feel this a single bit when I was enjoying my time in Singapore. But now there’s a monster within me trying to rip me apart. It feels like I am bleeding from deeeep within. Tearing me apart. I see my family and I tear, I see...
i just wna tell you
Jesus loves you.
But what will your response be?
‘Remember nothing happens without it passing through the wisdom of God.’

just gotta say
God is faithful! I am well and alive today! :-)
Such an experience last night. When I cannot sleep, something is very wrong. I can sleep at all times; in class, during lectures, during sermons, when I’m standing in the MRT, when I’m sitting on the bus/car/MRT, in front of my laptop, on my piano, on my sofa, at the dining table, on the floor, talking to someone..anywhere, anytime. But...
monday' fever
Today’s Monday. I met with Dawn at NUS in the afternoon for lunch, we talked lots lots lots like old times. She is an inspiration. Then we found my textbook at 1/3 the price in Oz woohoo! It comes with a color atlas as well, what a find. Though I did not pray about the textbook search but I see it as another blessing from God. :)
Returned home, felt a little funny, so I went to take a nap...
my aunt
It suddenly hit me that my aunt and I have been talking a lot more these few week nights. Mostly she initiates the conversation, it’s about things that she did at work, her aching knee, packing stuff, ideas for Oz holidays, sleep early.. :) I think it’s real sweet of her, and I quite enjoy the conversations. I just hope that I will not undermine these conversations by turning to my...
today
..is packing day #1. I’ve emptied 5/6 of my wardrobe and I filled 3/4 of my luggage bag. But that’s all I packed, clothes. Many other things like rice cooker, laptop, shampoo, soap, vegetable sift, bedroom slippers, stationery, photos, books I haven’t put in yet. Wish I can transport my whole house over, like the scene in Up. Woosh, up up and away! And everything’s...
thank you
Matz, Das and dear Shanah.
Nice cool evening, their close knit family warmth and precious rare laughter from talkative Shanah.
The first to address the awkwardness felt in church- Matz
The first to bring us to places we’ve never ventured before- Das
The first baby I feel rather close to in church- Shanah
Thank you. Nice warm feeling inside, like I just drank a latte or something warm.
shortened breath
Feeling a little woozy, light headed, warm (flushed?), touched and yet heavy hearted.
K hello to all the new readers to this tumblr. I don’t post much, so don’t need to stalk me. Hahaha. Thank you especially for spending time tonight. Feeling good after the meal and small talk and Don Moen’s songs. Thank you more than I can express.
Hmm.. nowadays everyone I meet ask me two...
i keep dreaming
That I am already overseas. Internal mind stress. At the corner of my mind, somewhere unknown, I believe my mind keeps rethinking and forming it’s own situations and logical ways to tackle many situations. It’s so weird. Frequency of these dreams are increasing as countdown gets lower. The more I think, the more dreams I have, the more I think about the dreams, and it becomes a cycle??...
Thank God today went by ok. Starting to understand what it meant by being blessed to be a blessing. Realized that in the process of giving time, a viewpoint within me is changing. Like my narrow view of what I see my time should be used for, actually widens to see the sight of what is being built at that moment. And it looks promising. Letting go of my desires is good. Not wanting to sound...
Grace →
My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker. Chorus: I ask you: “How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?” And you...
precious time
Need to focus on Jesus. Or else looking at what I have, I will keep thinking why do I have so little time?
Jesus lived 33 years, had 3 years for his ministry. How did he do so much in so little time? The Bible never said “He didn’t have enough time”. Jesus instead was so clear on what he was doing everywhere. Wonder how he knew where to go every time. Walking beside the lake....
impacted
I just came back from the conference.
Few thoughts:
1) Met and bonded with my future housemate, E. It was good, thank God that we clicked so well. We stuck to each other (ok maybe that’s not very good but we both scared awkward..) and people started thinking that we were twins/best friends though we only knew each other for 2 days.. -.- She’s like Emily’s twin, making lots of...
new year resolution
My first new year resolution is to grow patience. Not that I can do it by my own strength, but with a conscious effort, and may God water it so that this portion of the fruit of the Spirit would just grow into substance. I want to be more patient with others.
If you’re sharp enough to see failure and inconsistency in anybody, you should be mature enough to forgive them.

wise words from the wise
Yesterday Isaiah was talking in the car. Every time he speaks I literally feel life, feel the presence of someone who walks eat breathe the Spirit. And it’s just amazing. Always wish I can one day achieve such a standard to just be walking by the Spirit.
Anyway so he was talking about praying in the Spirit. Humans like to pray through the mind (rational). But the mind is still flesh, still...
at the feet of Jesus
I just want to be a flame, lighted up and consumed by the all consuming fire of God. I do not want to spend my youth, to realize that all I have been feeling is the heat from other people’s flames.
The 2nd night session on coming back for your first love left most impact on me. Previously I listened to another sermon by Pastor Prince, it was about the heart of God. It compared Mary and...

experiences
At the end of 3rd batch English classes at dorms yesterday, Shin Yong was fetching us home and sharing. He shared lots of things, but one thing super super apt was how his whole family, his parents, his relatives belonging to the same generation as his parents, all came to Christ in a year. He highlighted the importance of being a Christian witness in theirs lives, so that when the correct time...
convicted
Reading the Countdown to the Rapture series, seeing verses come to life, seeing reflections of humanity in the ways of men. Getting convicted of my testimony of Christ. We barely talk about Christ at home, because we are afraid of getting shot down, rejected, cold shouldered. Is it the way it is to be? Or should we be more upfront, more brave? Or is there another way to approaching the topic, of...
interview
Pretty scary, I had an interview with the principal of a college earlier just now.
Her accent is pretty strong; I was scared I would have moments of not understanding her but it was fine. I don’t know what she thought of me; I felt like I was lousy big time but I don’t think I could have given her any other impression than what I gave her.
It just gave me a honest glimpse of what I...
