christmas is officially coming!!!
cannot believe how time flies and before u know it, it will be the end of the year. :)
2009 is coming to an end.
I love christmas!
and this yr i fell in love with buying gifts. bought so much alr in the last few days. haha.
yayness!
and i just went to teach matthew last night. adore my nephew n cousin to bits.
somehow i love talking a lot to her.
CHRISTMAS!!
we are coming to an end of 2009, and what a yr it has been.
the word “adventurous” would not have suffice, and i m just grateful for all that He has done in my life.
many ppl alr had their appreciations, which i haven had mine. think we r going to have a blast. :)
learning patience, and to trust and lean on Him all the way.
it is really not easy, but He taught me, it’s not just the destination, but also the journey that matters.
and i wouldn’t exchange anything for it.
still learning, griping and groping.
and seeking Your will and dream in my life.
many times i get ahead of myself (and Him) for that matter, and many times i m so tempted to take things in my own hands.
but i m always reminded of Ishmael. I dun want to have an Ishmael, i want to have my isaac.
and because of that, i m willing to wait, toil, and develop the fruit of patience in my life.
God, teach me. and show me your way.
i know my Isaac is coming in due time. :)
when our first prayer meeting started with Pst Kong, I already felt 受宠若惊，not to mention that Pst actually brought us for a retreat, 4 days 3 nights.
if you ask me, what are your takeaways from the camp?
it’s so difficult telling you, because there are many things, but something i know for sure, God has done a work in my life and spirit.
And this work is unexplainable, but somehow i feel, i am taken up to the next level.
“Imitate me, as I imitate Christ.”
In every few generations, God raises up men and women that will change the history of the world.
And he is such an example to us all.
工欲善其事，必先利其器。
sharpen ur axe.
in every single way, in every single time possible.
reach out into the mind of God, and bring down the kingdom here onto this earth.
thank you Lord.
dunno how to tell u.
how bad i feel.
i felt like i messed up n din do it right.
n i m really really sorry.
i really need wisdom.
to know how to continue walking.
i so have the feeling.
that it is holidays.
because tmr is a public hol and there is no work.
and next week i’m off to m’sia!!!
oh man.
holidaying mood.
one of my fave verses.
约伯记42：5
我从前风闻有你， 现在亲眼看见你。
awesome post by Pst Kong on job and suffering.
check it out!
:)
saturday boys have been ard for 2 yrs already.
2 years since i shocked wj on msn that day.
2 years since u guys accompany me to love sean kingston.
2 years since we went night cycling.
2 years felt like yesterday.
so near yet so far.
nostalgia.
let’s celebrate.
sat boys 2 yrs anniversary.
the first thing that greeted me today, was the christmas carols that playing in suntec.
:))))))
im just happy. that xmas is coming. :)
oh the things to look forward in life! :)
reluctant to come online at this time, but i just wanted to blog, before my thoughts escape me.
今天的心情，沉淀了许多。
和五六年前的我相比，差得很远。
但是总不能忘记，奥夫牧师来到的那一天，讲到中国，燃起我心中的那把火。
the fire cannot go off.
今天，看到一个人道出我的心声，是很奇妙的感觉。
是啊，我花了好多时间，读了宋尚节（john sung）的故事，读了jesus in beijing，读了天上人（the heavenly man）。
他提到戴德生和很多很多其他的宣教士。
听到大跃进、文化大革命、天安门事件，突然有种熟悉不过的感觉。
这就是我为什么，那么爱历史，特别是中国历史。
因为我知道，要接触这群人，你需要明白他们的文化，背景和历史。
突然间在回来的路上，感觉到自己的渺小。
人长得越大，应该越懂越多，但我在越懂越多的情况下，也渐渐发现自己懂得却是那么少。
a finite me, an infinite God.
人生充满着好多好多的未知数。不确定性。
how do i know.
霎那间，我那些微不足道的关心和渴望，和我那伟大的神相比，变得好渺小。
但又偏偏，我那伟大的神，对我那些既渺小又微不足道的事，关怀备至。
how would i know.
i remembered my prayer.
my pillar of support.
and the vision.
God show me?
many days that i wake, counting my blessings.
days that i m just in gratitude, thanking Him for using me, and the chance and opportunity to serve Him in such a manner.
today woke up and felt like, i love you Jesus.
want to touch lives, be used, and also see my life changed.
and through me, lives will be touched and changed.
love You Lord.
seriously, it has been 2 mondays in a row, that i just can’t sleep properly on sunday nights.
i have no idea what is wrong really.
on every single day except monday, my body is so resistant to wake up, but only on monday, it refuses to go back to sleep.
it’s driving me nuts, by waking up after 6 hours, and refusing to go back to sleep after. and making me feel exhausted. :(
my dear body, recognise that monday is R n R day can? pretty pls.
oh and next monday i can’t sleep. :(
anyway, random blogging.
was talking to lulu jie last night, and she mentioned that i changed. in some really interesting ways. i’m not putting it up here though.
had a great time w xq last night, my dearest friend. i love times like that with her, she’s probably one of the few that i can walk for so long with at ecp, and chill, and talk abt life and everything under the sun.
i miss those times.
sometimes i think, we just need to get away from the city, and while we were walking back to parkway, i love the breeze!
counting down one week to retreat. i’m excited.
God works in ways that amaze me, and still does.
till now, i’m going back to my Monday, and while waiting for ms sher to wake, i’m wondering what should i do.
hurhur.
happy monday!
oh man. i had such a great time talking to my cousin about my fave boy in this world. and i cant help but blog abt this. haha.
in social studies class, they learn about different races in singapore. and…
they r supposed to draw the difference races and write down the race.
in the centre, they r supposed to write their own race.
now readers, make a guess, which race does Matthew belong to?
if u guessed it right, (other than jon that i have told to) i will give u a prize. lol.
ready?
…
…
…
…
Matthew wrote.
THE SINGAPORE F1 RACE.
he is the next louis hamilton, and he belongs to the s’pore f1 race.
LOL.
this year, i wished 2 of my greatest leaders happy birthday.
one told me, that he’s so glad i’m on full time.
the other said, that he is so proud of me.
i felt overwhelmed on both occasions.
and in reply, i told one of them.
i stand on the shoulders of giants.
indeed, we stand on the shoulders of giants.
without them, where would i be?
without You, where would i be.
i hope that i’ll nv forget, it is, and will always be a privilege.

我不知道为什么，看这则报道后，我心里真的有一丝丝的难过。
或许，比一丝丝还要多一点。
看了柯老师所写的，心里一阵凉。
新加坡社会，就只有『务实』两个字吗？
对华文的热忱，不是能用市场价值来衡量的。
华文代表的，不仅仅是一个语言，或是可以增加市场价值的工具。
它是我们的身份，在这语言背后，包含的是五千年的文化，以及我们作为华人的身份认同。
一旦抹去了，我们也失去我们的“根”和“本”。
啊啊啊啊啊。
i was thinking.
what is the most impt thing.
and what would guide me to make the right decisions.
and what should i think, do and behave.
then i remembered, it’s all about standing right before Him.
ya. it’s all about standing right before Him.
my attitudes, my motives, my all.
You are my everything isn’t it?
paris.
prague.
guess where? maldives!
christmas is coming!
and new year is coming.
2009 is coming to an end.
and cheers to 2010.
it feels like year end already.
I am in a good mood tdy.
because we had an awesome “dope” time celebrating pst yk and wenling’s birthday.
it was really a “new look” day.
with my new hair and jacket.
and i really enjoyed myself. and was touched to tears. :)
love pst, love wenling, love meiyan, love my awesome zone and friends God has given to me.
i love my life. and now. my awesome hair. haha.
for once. BANGS!!!!!
nights to all!!!
haven’t really been blogging huh. haha. i dun blog for 2 reasons.
a. nothing to blog about.
b. too many things on my mind that it’s just too difficult to blog.
and for now, it’s the latter.
so now, to just randomly post abt my life. haha.
1. post-packing days.
after packing my room, i’m loving it.
yes there r still many many books, but it’s neat and tidy, and really makes me feel much happier. :) i love my room. and the weather nowadays is just sooooo good for slping. so all the more i love it.
2. the time to be away.
dong has left for brunei.
oh man this is the first time he is leaving for soooo long and i really think, i’m gonna miss him. though we don’t talk as much, but i miss his nonsense and presence.
3 weeks is quite a long time.
angel is in indo, dong in brunei, kt in taiwan, lulu in taiwan, wj in mugging land.
i wonder, what am i doing here? haha.
3. 60 min love revolution.
our first time to old folks’ home.
it is really quite exciting to bring joy to these ppl.
and i am so proud of my members.
they r really living out, our 60min love revolution.
4. fruitfulness
serving the kingdom.
seeing fruits.
loving God and people.
5. my time to be away.
will be away from 30 nov to 3 dec. then going korea in jan. it’s my time to be away. yippie!
for now, it’s back to solitude in my little room. ;)
till the world meets me again.
尽管我不明白，我也不完全了解，i am loving my God and my life. :)
ciao and nights to all.
oh i forgot to say.
I CUT MY HAIR!!!!!!
don’t be too shocked when u see me k?
kt really exclaimed. haha.
nights!
watching hot shot.
falling in love with jerry yan all over again.
忘了。我多么喜欢看篮球。
love the intensity. :)
miss bball. and the good old days.
i am finally done. after one day and one night.
and i m listening to the album that i dug out.
some random songs terence burned for me very very long ago.
at least 7 years. but many of them are my faves.
不知道自己在坚持什么。
为什么 要搞得自己那么累。
但是总觉得 整理房间 不只是整理房间而已
it has something to do with ur soul.
the state of ur room does affect the state of ur soul. i feel. i think.
所以整理房间 整理的 也是我的思绪和心情
I AM A HAPPY GIRL. IN A HAPPY ROOM. :)
although i think i will be sooo tired tml.
ciao people.
nights to all. :)
this is one of the songs that i love since young.
oh man. memories.
以前我看到朋友哭 我很羡慕
可是我怎么逗我自己 怎么弄我自己
我的眼泪都流不出
总觉得能够哭的朋友都很幸福
能够把满腔的无耐 满腔的痛苦
让泪水带走
最苦是泪水哽在心头 流不出
就像要爱却不懂得怎么去爱
自己哭过后才明白
流过泪的眼睛 将生命看得更清楚
只有真正懂得付出的人
才懂得何为哭 为何哭
再坚强的心偶尔也会脆弱
心会痛 心也会感动
只有曾经真心付出的人
才懂得何为哭 为何哭
泪水要记得为真心保留
眼泪别白白的流
maybe because ting is moving house, and it kind of rubbed off on me.
so i decided to pack my room.
oh goodness it’s such a massive proj.
this time round i m trying to change the layout in my seemingly unchangeable room.
and i wish i could paint it some dope color. after i’m done packing k? maybe. oh so maybe.
and i slept in the middle of a massive mess.
and the joke of the day.
kw: y r u not aslp?
xt: oh i m packing.
kw: oh packing to go where? go korea pack so early ah.
i had a good laugh about it.
kok wee u r so funny. even when u dun try to be. :)
ciao people.
back to dust n more dust.
haha.
i’m so tempted to upload a photo of a messy room.
but nah. maybe the product. :)
it’s almost impossible that i am home during the evening.
and all the more i really treasure it.
i think i needed the rest. the extra sleep. i din know i was that tired and that unwell!
appreciated the little freed up time to rest.
:)
er it’s Monday.
why do they call it Monday blues, and not pinks, or reds or purples?
Better still blacks. LOL.
and i woke up at 830.
i don’t know y.
it’s just a natural thing to be up.
and i had the weirdest dream. that felt so real.
it was a murder case. lol.
it was as weird as the one abt my cousin. but weirder.
goodness.
now i dunno wad i should do.
it’s too early for a Monday!
because i am so unwilling to repeat my story for 1,000,000 times, i have decided to tell u the story.
i call it. the case of the missing iphone.
for ur information, i did not just change my phone.
yes i belong to the berry clan now, because i lost my iphone.
and so here the story goes.
On Sunday, my cg went to tamp mac for fellowship, and i went to the toilet, holding only my iphone.
i left it on the ledge above the toilet bowl (i always do that and always rem to take. but now i have a phobia)
and i walked out w/o taking my phone.
while i was washing my hand, due to the small size of the toilet, a lady opened the door and bumped into me.
and i walked out, and was searching my bag for my phone, and din find it.
i turned ard facing the toilet, thinking, oh no i left it there!
i saw the lady walk out, and i thot, would she have taken the phone. the next thought was, no la she seems too nice.
and she looked at me in the eye and walked out of MacDonalds.
i ran to the toilet and could not find it, and still not believing that she took it, i ran back to my bag and really could not find it. and realised, yes she took it.
dun ask me y am i so naive. i dunno.
and the funniest thing was, we ran all ard tamp looking for the lady in pink.
and we could not find her.
my member called my phone, and it was in the lady’s bag and she accidentally picked it up. as in she din press it, but it was picked up.
and thus, we could hear her walking, stopping, crossing the road, taking the bus and going home and talking to her family member abt the phone.
before my phone was switched off, or maybe it died cos of low batt.
now after hearing this sad story, could u bow ur head tog with me, and observe a moment of silence for my apple.
and also say a silent prayer, that it might miraculously come back to me.
thank you.
亲爱的，
你陪伴了我6个月，183 天，4392个小时。
这时间说长不长，说短不短。
认识你之前，我从不知道苹果的魔力。我们的遇见也是一种巧合。
但是，不知不觉，我渐渐地爱上了你。
你让我和同样拥有苹果的朋友，多了一份亲切与亲密感。
我喜欢你的触感，用你来传简讯，多了一份舒适。
喜欢你，记载着我和朋友之间那无数的简讯和沟通，一按，就可看到我过去的点滴。
你的魅力在哪里？我不知道。
我记得神学院开始时，你陪伴着我，让我每天早上都看着你读箴言。
我记得难过的时候，我就会把所有的情绪都打到你里面。你仿佛收藏了我无数的情感和发泄。这半年来的阳光和风雨，是你陪我一一度过。
我记得，坐在车上无聊时，你里面无数的歌曲，总是让我不自觉的微笑。记得昨天还刚从你那里听到耀珊的《你的肩膀》，情不自禁的跟着哼了起来。
我记得，在健身房快要放弃的那一刻，都是依靠着你撑下去的。
每当队伍很长，巴士迟迟不来，都是你。
今天早上，听了牧师所说的，也都记录在你里面。我的感动。
我从来没有发现，你对我是多么的重要，直到失去的那一刻开始。
像是心里，多了一个洞。
不知道是因为今天心情早就很低落，还是我真的如此喜欢你，但是，我只想要记念这183 天。
再见了苹果，我已跨入黑梅的时代。
似乎是被迫的。
我想念苹果。
我多么希望，当我今晚闭上眼睛时，明天早上，会听到你，再一次呼唤我起床。
it so reminded me.
why i m doing wad i am doing.
bringing me back to the basics. basics.
in spite of my tiredness, i love it.
pst said, some lost the will to fight.
help me to fight on, and keep on keeping on.
morning prayer was great.
was really tired in the few days, due to the lack of rest last week,
but after overcoming ur physical flesh, u have the life of God flowing thru u.
though physically, i’m still really tired.
she has always been my inspiration.
including today.
if there is ath i want, i want this.
not settling for anything than His best, for my life.
sheer bliss.
怎么我会说太晚了你不用送
其实我想说可不可以不要走
唱一段歌 歌尾奏已经结束
突然我们都沉默 你不敢看我
讨厌这样我们都有话藏著不说
你总是那麼处处在意我
越害怕伤害我 我感觉越难受
你不懂 我没你想象脆弱
热情结束以后 冷静开始以后
时间开始怂恿 劝深爱的人放弃
我不想倒数 还能爱多久 不爱我请离开我
勇敢祝福以前 找到幸福以前
我会耐心等候 并重新适应寂寞
开始倒数 开始忘记 知道你的爱 你确定不是我
下一个周末会不会就各自过
渐渐少联络这样算不算分手
我会想念你亲吻你拥抱
但我不想欺骗我 真实的感受
讨厌这样爱变质后谁都不认得
情人终究不一定变朋友
越相互关心著 越加速疏远了
别触碰 我在深藏的笑容
热情结束以后 冷静开始以后
时间开始怂恿 劝深爱的人放弃
我不想倒数 还能爱多久 不爱我请离开我
勇敢祝福以前 找到幸福以前
我会耐心等候 并重新适应寂寞
开始倒数 开始忘记 值得你的爱 你确定不是我
是不是从前我们太懒惰
让任性妄想反方向移动 直到看不清楚
说出那一句谢谢你 眼泪突然夺眶而出 快要不能自己
难 很困难 再这样说的多快乐
i never really understood, why is nike’s slogan just do it.
but these 2 days, especially today, i am starting to comprehend.
when u wake up with an aching body, lacking sleep, and all u want is that half an hr more of sleep, all that u can tell urself, is to get up and just do it.
which i did. to do it for one day is something. but 3 days running is no joke.
my legs r now aching like crazy, but i am happy.
becos, i chose to.
just do it. :)
dong’s sms encouraged me a lot. when he said, the results will be amazing. i m hanging on that! it had better be worth it.
this morning i sat on my bed and asked myself, if u believe nothing is impossible, why do u not believe, this is possible too?
ya man. y not.
CHIONG XIAO TING.
YOU CAN DO IT.
JUST DO IT.
i like. people with depth.
i like. people who think.
i like. taking bus. esp bus 24.
i like. being there for devotion.
i like. things that trigger me to think.
i heart.
a fren just told me.
when u fall in love, u will start to understand how much God loves you.
whatever that u r feeling, the joy, the pain, the anticipation, is exactly what God feels towards you.
wow.
touched by a friend who bothered to call from a faraway land, just to ask how i am doing.
touched by the concern, and the friendship shared between us both.
touched by friends who bothered to encourage me, and just be there for me.
heard a sad story, and pray hard that none of my friendships will end up like that.
thank God for friends. they make the world of a difference in my life.
i was reminded, that how somewhere along the line, God dropped this word in my heart, and told me, this was a yr of learning to be patient.
there are so many times that i was so upset i felt like pulling out my hair, or screaming at the top of my lungs.
and it is always ppl that drive me up the wall. i know. tell me about it.
how interesting we want patience, and we want it now.
i’m still feeling like pulling out my hair, and screaming at the top of my lungs.
can only keep telling myself. chill ah xiaoting. chill.
to quote kt, or whoever that it is, take a chill pill.
urgghhhh.
sidenote: when i’m really exceptionally silent, it must be because i have sth really impt on my mind, or i’m feeling really urgh on the inside. and i’m not talking. just in case, the moment i open my mouth, i blow up.
there is something really special about this MV i feel.
totally can identify with what Sun is saying, this fantasy and amusement park atmosphere.
I love the out of the world feeling, the fantasy theme, and that willy wonka feel in some of sun’s costumes. :)
love it.
my rantings about the last few days.
a lot of thoughts running thru my mind regarding many areas of my life and ministry.
what that really blessed me was the privilege to be there listening to the man of God.
to whom will we go? you have the words of eternal life.
i heart my leaders.
leadership is all about modelling. u can preach anything u want, but at the end of the day, u r the message.
we are made up of body, soul and spirit. we cannot just focus on one aspect.
you need to be happy. Be happy.
for some reason, i was so impacted by the msg on Sunday.
it has been a while.
it was really like.. suddenly the Lord came and touched me, and it changed me. I din even know what happened, but suddenly i was hit by the presence of God in that room, and it was only me and Him.
He sees, He knows, He understands.
skipping to sth else.
have been telling a few ppl, how blessed I m to have ldrs in my life.
i am under a covering.
and honestly, i love that openness and transparency.
i love being able to share everything that is in my heart, and never having to try to be someone else.
i love the fact that my ldr knows me, believes in me and loves me.
and i pray, i will be as much to my ppl.
come back for more.. on our miniature cg outing… and more!
Sun’s latest single from her album is out!
I heard the song yest. It is really really good!
Sun will be on live chat with us tomorrow (18 Sept) 11 to 1130pm!
We can watch her live by logging on to www.facebook.com/sunhomusic!
If you have any questions for Sun, u can send them in right now through twitter @mynameissun and she will answer them tomorrow!!!
How cool eh…
I am so excited to hear her new song, and watch her MV, and not to mention, see her live!!!
Ahhhhhhhh.
we just had a devotion with Pst tan that blew me away completely.
i was so touched by the word.
i cannot tell u how much i feel, and how thankful i m for the word.
and how i really need it, and how God spoke to me.
He does see and He does know. thank You Lord.
as u can tell, many things happened these few things that did affect me in some ways.
it has been a while.
and all these things brought me back to some self-evaluation of myself and my life too.
i dunno how i allowed things to evolve into what it is like, but it did saddened me greatly.
some things that pst tan said that hit me.
Jesus loved them till the end. and the moment u decide to love till the end, the devil showed up.
it’s not going to be easy, but whoever that is forgiven much also loves much.
because of how much God loves u, r u willing to love in the same way, in spite of all its difficulties?
and at the end of the day, i cried and told God, that i am sorry for the times that i failed to love, and the times that i became judgmental.
and in spite of all my weaknesses as a ldr, He still chose me.
and the Lord asked me, if i would be willing,
to love them till the end?
and after that i was reading kt’s blog. and i cried like crazy.
what a word. what a revelation. what an encounter.
we love, because He first loved us.
and because He loved them (and us) till the end, we can love them till the end.
i love Mondays!
Haha.
I love the fact that I can sleep as late as i want on Sun night, and yest i watched the movie Keeping Mum. and realised that i watched it before. but it’s ok, i really did enjoy it.
and i love the fact that 我可以睡到自然醒。:)
check out some stuff, new phones, went to give BS, and met my family for dinner. It’s such a fulfilling day!
I had a lot of fun with my family today; it’s seldom that we get a chance like that. hopefully i will get to upload pics soon.
one last thing that i want to say, which i always forget.
you know i have this real adorable baby girl who lives next door, and she is the sweetest thing!
every day when i m going out, she will run to the door and smile at me! and when i m leaving, she will look a little sad and wave bye.
u know how endearing is that? every morning her smile makes my day.
one day i will post up her pic.
haha.
bye peeps!
Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth said:
“ Entreat me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
The LORD do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
who will be found faithful. and loyal. till the end?
when i imagine the day.
i thot. i will definitely cry the moment i see him walk in.
i din.
but while talking to him on msn.
tears flowed.
we love u!
different things have happened these 2 weeks, and some things that did really affect me.
there r very few things that get me down, but one thing about me (and probably everybody) is how all of us r so afraid of getting hurt.
i, for one, am one.
it’s an area of my life that i guard and protect very much. because i m very very scared of getting hurt.
Past experiences left dark shadows in me, but i m glad that i m learning to walk out of it.
Yet for the past 2 weeks, i felt that the devil just took a bow and arrow, and aimed at my heart.
and it was not just in one area.
but the cool thing is. i start to learn to walk out of it, and to strengthen my heart in Him.
i love what MY said, that God will protect my heart.
and i m so thankful that He did.
what XQ said really encouraged me, because i can trust in His love for me, i know there’s no need to fear.
Because of You, there’s no need to fear.
and He fights for me.
I dun strive because He fights for me.
I pray and I trust.
and He makes things happen for me.
And i will continue to pray. and continue to trust.
and I know, You make all things work together for my good.
and because of that, i can have the peace that surpasses all understanding.
THANK YOU.
what scares me
is not what i see on the outside
but what i don’t see but yet can feel
on the inside
thank you for friends and leaders, who rallied around me, and help this experience become a less difficult one.
it’s appreciated.
thank you, that every day when i wake up, my heart gets a little stronger.
it’s amazing what u do, in one night of sleep.
and i m thankful.
even though i m dead scared, but there is no fear in love, because perfect love casts out fear. he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
xq sent this to me yest. and it really encouraged me.
xiaoting, gambatte!!! :)))))
Phil 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Tdy, something happened that made me feel like that.
I was so shocked that when we prayed, she felt this way.
But i m overwhelmed, by how God went all the way out to show me sth.
Is this it?

11神造万物，各按其时成为美好，又将永生（原文是永远）安置在世人心里。然而神从始至终的作为，人不能参透。
12我知道世人，莫强如终身喜乐行善；
13并且人人吃喝，在他一切劳碌中享福，这也是神的恩赐。
14我知道神一切所做的都必永存；无所增添，无所减少。神这样行，是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。
15现今的事早先就有了，将来的事早已也有了，并且神使已过的事重新再来（或译：并且神再寻回已过的事）。
昨天和03S61的同学见面。kw问了wb一个问题，我听了后，不禁想要道出我的心声。
昨天和Helen说，我认为，对每一个工作的人来说，其中一个很大的挑战是，你要找到一直走下去的推动力。这和陈牧师所说的faithfulness是很相似的。
不管你是银行家、教师、会计、牧者、律师，你需要拥有走下去的动力。
当这动力不复存在时，你就很可能失去走下去的力量。
我认为，各行各业，都会面对这样的挑战的。
我昨天在想，就翻到了传道书3章。
凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
dear readers, here’s for you to ponder.
I’m still in midst of organising my thoughts.
But Ecc 3 is a very interesting passage.
Think abt it! Haha. U can tag n reply if u have thoughts.
more than the gift, it is the thought and the efforts.
thank you for the time, company and the sacrifice.
it is appreciated. :)
thank you for making my day!
这一个星期下来，真的很不容易。
battles to fight. i cannot remember when was the last time.
these things took a toll on my heart, and i felt myself withdrawing and retreating, once again.
Tdy i got a mail from lulu, and i cried like crazy.
Nothing abt her content, but it’s the love that i sense.
Was so overwhelmed by the love i sense in her mail, which was contrary to how i felt in this entire week.
It was so touching to know that somebody did really love u, for who u r.
These are people u fight for, fight tog, combats in the kingdom.
I need to strengthen myself in the Lord, just like how David did.
每一段关系，都建立在『信』之上。没了『信』，就没有关系可言。
do everything u can to guard that trust.
awww. so sweet.
haha.
i told myself, let’s watch a movie every sunday.
which i totally love it.
Movie of the day: 50 first dates.
Thank God it’s Monday!
Haven’t figured what i will do.
Will figure soon. :)
这几天下来，一系列事情的发生。让我感觉有点吃不消。
怎么会呢？
有好一段时间，没有经历这样的事情了。
there is just a slight ache in my heart.
虽然我慢慢学习坚强，可是这事还是会影响我。
人与人之间的关系和信任是多么宝贵的。
Ting, u know it will not last forever.
You know that someone is just trying to get u down.
And you know, that u will not, because u will definitely stand up in spite of it.
And you know, your God will surely fight for you.
So take heart, u can do it. :)
one of my fave songs in the new “Fly High” album
全能的神你能力无限
有了你万事都有可能
纵使大山在眼前
你也能够挪去
在你绝对没有难成事
主每当我软弱无力
你的恩典够我用
只要我能够相信
奇迹-必会降临
不靠才能 不靠勢力
依靠圣灵的能力
只要我全心呼求
奇迹-必会-降临
只要坚定来宣告就有奇迹
坚定 相信就必会成就
i decided not to even put a title la.
cos this is really such a random update.
i realised, i have been blogging for the last… i dunno how many days. goodness. i m such a compulsive blogger! haha. just kidding.
leaving home from work soon.
是有些改变。
一直都没有太多的感触，直到昨天，他和我说了一些事情。
听了后，～深呼吸。
哈哈。
我觉得，这一切很奇妙啦。
祂如何改变我，让我感到异常感动。
在不知不觉中，我已经渐渐改变。
这 很 神奇。
it’s going to be such a challenge, but i really trust Him.
I am excited, for what is going to happen, every step of the way.
Pardon me for my extensive blogging.
Have been thinking a lot as i have much more time alone in office, and different things just trigger my thoughts.
a few things recently caught my attention. i find that, the older i get, the more i realise, that i dun really know it all. and many times, i find myself asking God, God what are you doing in the midst of all these? i will often ask God, God what are you doing in this situation or trying to establish in a particular situation? there are many things that my human understanding and intellect cannot perceive and understand. the more i grow, the more i am humbled by his infinite wisdom, and by how small i am.
And thus, i have just been meditating on this thought, that prayer is seeking out the mind of God. very often, we pray with our own agendas, but really, prayer is simply about seeking out the mind of God. i want to seek His face, seek His mind, learn and understand what He has in store and what He is doing.
i don’t want to push through my agenda; i want to seek out His mind n will. I don’t know everything, because i am merely man, and He is God. Honestly, what I can know is what God has and will reveal to me.
I do not want to come to a point, that i think i am so intelligent and smart, that i can even understand all about God, or understand Him in His infinite wisdom. that is really foolishness, isn’t it?
Isa 45:9-12
9 "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
'What are you making?'
Does your work say,
'He has no hands'?
10 Woe to him who says to his father,
'What have you begotten?'
or to his mother,
'What have you brought to birth?'
11 "This is what the LORD says—
the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12 It is I who made the earth
and created mankind upon it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts.
this is my second monday after sot has ended.
and i’m loving it.
got to slp late on sun night cos i didn’t have to wake up early, so i watched confessions of a shopaholic. nice. :)
woke up and met kt for bs. i love it! it makes me feel productive n fruitful and happy, giving bs once again.
after that i met my dad to change my plan for starhub to save some $$$$. haha. away with humongous phone bills!!
then i head down to my cousin’s house once again, ran in the gym, swam (or rather soaked) myself in the pool, enjoyed myself in the jacuuzi, and had fun playing water gun with my nephew at the water playground. (i sit on the slide too! haha. it’s crazy fun)
and i had dinner, watched him study, picked up sth from a fren, and took a bus back.
somehow, a Monday like that takes my mind off a lot of things.
my phone is exceptionally quiet, and i’m just allowing my mind to rest.
thoughts.
accidentally stumbled upon someone’s blog started 4 yrs ago, and i was amazed what God has done in her. The change in her is so evident, and it inspired me a lot.
I know that from 4 yrs ago till now, i have changed a lot, but what i saw in her was really amazing. makes me wonder, where will i be 4 years from now.
i’m really loving my life, savouring every moment of it.
adapting to work in suntec, and loving my days.
You are an amazing God!
there r 2 kinds of people in the world.
givers and takers.
for the givers, thank God He made you a giver. Thank God u have something to give and share.
for the takers, thank God God has placed givers in ur life. Thank God there are people who are there to sow into ur life.
and…
start becoming a GIVER! haha. :)
thanks gal for the listening ear. it helps to know i’m not alone, and someone is listening, and keeping me sane, preventing my mind from running wild.
appreciated. :)
今天在聚会看到这MV时，泪水不断的流。
因为耀珊和JJ的爱，让我很感动。
因为看到新艺人家族在这灾难的时刻，成为黑暗中的一把声音，而感到骄傲。
因为看到62岁的张茂松牧师亲自到灾区，而动容。
爱，让一切变得更美丽。
this morning i went to the airport to meet lulu. and met many other sot students who were there to also send their fellow sot mates off.
and one kind soul offered to send me back to suntec. and i got to eat my macDonalds breakfast.
honestly, somebody giving u a ride early morning, coupled w mac breakfast, is good enough to make me smile for a whole day.
he was sharing with me his story of what God has done in his life, how God brought him to different places and SOT, n wj asked me if i m impacted. not exactly, but truly inspired.
i am amazed, how everyone of us have our own stories to tell, how He, the author n finisher of our faith, writes 6 billion stories, each one strangely similar in some ways, yet different in many. How all of us are seeking n searching His mind, finding out what He has in store for our lives.
If u ask me, i think that is awfully exciting. Not kidding.
I am living my now, yet excited to know wad holds in the future. Words cannot express my thrill of walking with Him each day, and having Him lead me by the hand. it’s truly an adventure.
Love You a lot!! Thank You for sending someone, just to make my day. :)
after SOT has ended, it’s back to full fledge translating. haha.
so basically, i face my computer a lot a lot of the time, n so i miss sot a lot, cos i miss talking to students and of cos the fantastic sot staff.
i am slowly becoming a little autistic. no la of cos not.
just that i really talk a lot lesser nowadays. haha. maybe more on msn.
and i come home, watch tv, surf for a short while and sleep.
wake up next day, wash up, think abt wad to wear, and go to work. wahahahha.
even when i met the six-oneders yest, i m kinda amazed by my few words.
*smiles*
and so when i heard tingting excitedly tdy, it’s kind of amusing. lol.
have been thinking abt some stuff lately. naturally everything is so quiet. I pray spiritually it’s not.
ciao people. i’m gg to bed. nights to all.
这几天陆续收到他们的简讯。
感动无比。
从未想过，每天站在台上的那几个小时，和他们吃的每顿饭，会在他们的生命里带出影响。
感谢神这五个月的恩典。
由衷的感谢你，让我有机会，成为这大家庭的一部分。
Thank You for allowing me to make a difference in the lives of these people.
And once again, you know we could never have done it without You.
Thank You. from the bottom of my heart.
鬼脸

Angel, Val, Yulan, Mx, Wj graduated.
I don’t have the rest of the pics here. Haha.
Once again, congrats!!! :))))))))
The end of SOT is only the beginning.
Here are some pics for you to enjoy. :)
That day was my boss’ actual birthday!
Lovely friends in SOT.
Saturday boys.
My girls.
Happy for angel, val, yulan, mx and weijian.
For being proud graduates of SOT 2009.
KT coined it the SOT withdrawal symptom. I feel weird if i can 自然醒。So i got him to meet me at 10am. which both of us din wake up and had to postpone to lunch. haha. but i managed to send weixuan off! thank God for that! :)
i had to fill my day with sth, so i brought my nephew out to watch UP, since many have said the show is good, and boy, i really can agree. I was so touched that i really cried, and my cousin was asking, did matthew look at me strangely like y r u crying? Unfortunately yes he did. Halfway thru he was staring at me and wondering why was i tearing like that. haha. 
I really enjoyed the show for some reason, already started tearing watching their love story.
我记得有一次，一个朋友谈恋爱后，我曾经送她一样礼物，上面写着：
『爱情不是两人注视彼此的眼睛，而是两人仰望同一方向。』
Love is not gazing into each other’s eyes, but is both looking unto the same horizon.
Something like that. It was in English.
今天，当我看到他们两人活出同样的梦想，我心中真的很感动。爱情就是如此不是吗？是找到一个。。可以一同和你活出梦想的人。这才是爱。
他的执著，让我好感动。
I felt so much after watching the show, and cried so hard that i felt my eyes were a little swollen after the show. Haha.
除了感动。还是感动。
Don’t look for the one who will simply gaze into your eyes, look for the one who will go with you, and bring you to places. Places you have never been before.
I did enjoy my Monday。 :) It was relaxing just hanging out with my nephew, and playing silly games like who can walk the slowest. Haha. and the show is awesome.
Have a great week guys!
I am in JW now waiting for graduation service.
And i am so excited!
:)))))))))))
CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN!
This is my first post on windows live writer. cos i heard it’s really easy to use. and somehow, i just felt like blogging again. :)
今天是神学院的最后一天。我特地到了那里，想要感染那里的气氛。他们和两年前的我好不一样。我正在想，今天离开神学院的心情，是如何的？
今天去探访璐璐姐。好珍惜和她相处的时间。She is really my inspiration. :) I want to be better in my skills!
这个周末，就是神学院的毕业典礼了。回想起来，就像昨天，我刚为他们写卡片，现在就看到，他们经历了五个月很棒的时光。看到他们当中，许多人生命得着改变，让我真的感到很欣慰。
但也不止是他们，我的生命，有何尝不是跟着他们，一步步得着改变呢？站在台上翻译，本身就已经是极大的荣幸。What an adventure it has been these 5 months.
很快的，又会有事情开始改变了。大家拭目以待吧！
Sidenote: It had really been as awesome week of prayer. I felt God so close and so near. He has been speaking to me regarding **uhhem** and manifesting His glory.
THANK YOU!
