Actually still have pretty much to do before leaving. In the office now, trying to get everything done and noting down all the follow-ups for next week when I'm back. Though still got so much to do but still wanna blog an entry before I leave. Hee. =)
My flight is at 6:45pm and I'll be rushing to the airport at 4pm sharp right after I knocked off. This is the first time working and traveling on the same day. Ha. Especially can you imagine me carrying a big backpack (courtesy of vince) to Shenton Way and up to my office to work? Ha. People were all wondering why.
Anyway, the purpose of this entry is not to say goodbye. But is to share a good news!
23.08.08 MY MUM PRAYED TO RECEIVE JESUS INTO HER LIFE!
Praise GOD!
This is the greatest gift I received this year! =) Thank you Jesus...
Saturday, August 23, 2008 Total Abandon
12:52 AM
The enemy uses all sort of methods to distract God's people, tempting them to turn away and sought after worldly stuff. The thieves come to steal, to kill and to destroy. Joy is one thing he will try to snatch it away from us by hurting our beloved ones, creating chaos, bringing separation and causing disunity. And because he already knows his end - eternal suffering in hell - he will by all means pull as many souls to suffer with him. He is the father of lies.
But, we have JESUS who have won the victory and everlasting life is found in Him. So, fear shall not have dominion over God's people, we shall trample over every evil projects and nothing from the enemy shall harm us.
It is so important that we do not lose sight of the plans God had in stored for us, especially in times of trials, we need to persevere, trust in the Lord and in His strength overcome every hurdles. For it is His plans to prosper us. He is the ALL BEAUTIFUL, ALL POWERFUL and ALL LOVING FATHER. Praise God..
Today in total abandon, I give it all to You Lord Jesus... Take me in - Kutless

Been writing really badly here lately. Perhaps Singlish do help to unleash some "prim & proper" stress. ^_-
Study schedule is out. Really need a direction from God; to continue or to defer? It's definitely a NO NO to have classes on Sundays. Then again, should I just drop that subject and continue with two modules or should I shift the entire term back till January? Jesus show me the way.
You know. In the midst of all the mind puzzling things, I still feel extremely excited about the things that are happening in the spiritual realm, in church, in the youths, in the people around me. I know God is preparing His army. It's Day 17 of Operation 40 and WE ARE STILL PRAYING. =)
Have been craving for books about prayer (the prayer season's craving!). Just finished a book by Stormie Omartian called "Prayer that changes everything". It's like the beginning of a journey of praying, teaching me the importance of prayer and how as the Word says "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Luke 11:9) What a wonderful promise. Sometimes, what we want is just behind that door, all we need to do is to ask Jesus for the key to that door and "ta-daa" it's done! =)
Currently I'm reading a book by Joyce Meyers called "The power of simple prayer". It broke all my rigid mindsets about how prayer WAS to be. But in fact, prayer can be just as simple as talking to someone you loved. God is our friend, our good friend and should be our best friend! There must be so much that we want to share with Him! Prayer is the way we can freely communicate with Him without having to fake or hide anything, or to fear about what He may think about us because He knows all things. All that is in our mind, our heart and all our emotions and feelings, He knows them all. God is so good. He listens and He provides. =)

11:07 AM
Bleh~ Okie. After this post I'll go clear the piled up work on my desk. -_-"'
Left two weekends to enjoy before another school term starts. Argh. Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!!
See. This weekend is stuffed up already. Next weekend will be busy busy busy shopping. I never thought BK would be a good place for holiday if you want a rest. But well, we'll see what happens at Pattaya on the first two days. @_@
How I wish to have just three good days to rest at home. In fact I never had one since.... how many years back? Lost count.
There seems to be tons and tons of appointments on my schedule forever. Don't know why.
I'm waiting for my timetable for next school term.
PLEASE DON'T FALL ON WEEKENDS. *pray*

"How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Lest my enemy say, 'I have prevailed against him'; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...I desire the long-lost childlike simplicity...
Thursday, August 14, 2008 Post exam symptom : humor
9:50 AM
A man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally typed a wrong e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent out the e-mail.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. The widow decided to check her inbox, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends.
Upon reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read as follow:
To : My Loving Wife Subject: I've Reached Date : 16 May 2004
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They gave computers here, and we are allowed to send e-mails to loved ones. I've just reached here and have been checked-in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you TOMORROW!
Bye

'Why am I sitting at the desk? Isn't it more comfortable to use the laptop on the bed?'
Well, indeed it is. But for the past months, I've got to restrict my laptop on my desk, it's sleep prevention. @_@ Bed is a disastrous object during school period. But now, no rules! Exams are over! Term two, the END!
Monday, tuesday, wednesday. Really thankful that I still managed to scribble through the papers though they were really tough. Partly due to bad revision schedule and laziness resulting in such consequences. Haa. You don't know what I'm writing about. Doesn't matter. I'm believing that I'll do minimum average for all three papers. No big hope just little wishes.
Anyway. Had a little post-exam celebration over some drinks with my classmates.
Be careful of stimulant! People. People. People. How many colours do they have? What is seen may not be what it is. Misjudging. What you find behind the wardrobe is character. Perfect disguise, if otherwise.
"But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, 'If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.'" John 8:7
Perfect imperfection.
=) So grateful. Really. None but You.
PS: I'm random. Just random. Books aside!
Salvation and truth is in Him alone.

8:09 AM
After much hussel of scanning the pages and upload onto my blog. Eunice told me they (nice coloured copies) are downloadable from BC website. Haa. Irony wisdom that doesn't come to pass without a knock (reminder) on the head. -_-"' Anyway, following are two tracks; if you're a youth or would like to consider yourself a youth, please download the Youth Track. However, if you're OBVIOUSLY mature and ADULT, please download the Adult Track. =) Pray with us. Sense the movement. See the coming REVIVAL.
It's prayer day 4. So glad that (I choose to believe) WE ALL (at least 500 of us) made it through three days already. Are we sensing a near REVIVAL? =)
Sharing two songs today. My heart cry for salvation "Hosanna"... though there are times where disappointment creeps in like a thief stealing away my joy, I'll still know and be reminded that Jesus is the "God of my forever".
Hillsong - Hosanna
Verse I see the King of glory Coming on the clouds with fire The whole earth shakes The whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy Washing over all our sin The people sing The people sing
Chorus Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the highest Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the highest
Verse I see a generation Rising up to take their place With selfless faith With selfless faith
I see a near revival Stirring as we pray and seek We're on our knees We're on our knees
(Chorus)
Bridge Heal my heart and make it clean Open up my eyes to the things unseen Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks Yours Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause As I go from nothing to Eternity

Today had a sudden thought of quitting my full time job and concentrate on my studies. Maybe cos' been really bad at coping with both. I know many people think it's such a blessing that I've a 9 to 4 job... I really think I'm so blessed too. But hmm... Not sure why the thought came into mind. So far my results were better than I thought too (all glory to God). Perhaps I'm stressed up by the upcoming exams...
Anyway, can't quit anytime I want also. Boss still in TLBC till Sep. "Persevere! I must be responsible!"
