Proverbs 12:8
"A man will be commended according to his wisdom, but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised."
God was speaking to me from this verse today. Somehow He has been toking to me a lot abt wisdom.
wisdom.
humility.
patience.
brokenness.
preparation.
to enter into your Promised Land.
this is what i want in 2009.
break my heart for what break Yours.

updated.
wow. check this out. i check up The Message version of this verse.
And what this is what it says.
Proverbs 12:8 (The Message)
"A person who talks sense is honored; airheads are held in contempt."
and the dictionary defines an airhead as "a scatterbrained, stupid, or simple-minded person".
God is really speaking.

nowadays, i have a phobia of opening my ntu mail.
i am afraid of what i will see.
and indeed, what i was afraid to see, i saw.
i feel the heat.
sometimes i m scared, though most of the time i am not.
but when i receive sth like that, there's only one word that describes it all.
STRESS.
like really.
i really seldom use this word.
this is a rare occasion.
so it shows....
i am really stressed.
gosh God help me out pls.
you know i totally cannot do it without you.
i know i can do this. but everytime i read sth like this, i really get scared. but "fear" is not in my dictionary. so baby, you can do it.
c'mon.

i was reminded sometime ago, abt wad wj shared. regarding jeremy saying, one of the impt things is to prepare, prepare and prepare.
suddenly, it just hit me hard.
for this month, the conversation that was going on with God was abt waiting, and patience, and waiting, and patience, and preparing myself.
not just training up the patience, it's a time for me to build myself up i believe.
there r days that i wish things could be easier, and there r days i know God is more interested in my character than my comfort. so there you go.
from the alchemist.
"Having disinterred our dream, having used the power of love to nurture it and spent many years living with the scars, we suddenly notice what we always wanted is there, waiting for us, perhaps the very next day. Then comes the fourth obstacle: the fear of realising the dream for which we fought all our lives.
Oscar Wilde said: 'Each man kills the thing he loves.' And it's true. The mere possibility of getting what we want fills the ordinary person with guilt. We look around at all those who have failed to get what they want and feel that we do not deserve to get what we want either. We forget about all the obstacles we overcame, all the sufferings we endured, all the things we had to give up in order to get this far. I have known a lot of people who, when their personal calling was within their grasp, went on to commit a series of stupid mistakes and never reached their goal ----- when it was only a step away.
This is the most dangerous of the obstacles because it has a kind of saintly aura about it: renouncing joy and conquest. But if you believe yourself worthy of the things you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here. "
-Paulo Coelho
do you understand how i feel? and what i am really saying? and where exactly i am.. at this point?

我最近一直反复的在思考这个问题，特别是踏入了新的一年以后。
有时候我认为，可能是我想太多，这一切或许只是我的 imagination。
但是又有时候，却真实地让我无法相信。
说实在的，我宁愿不要知道，因为我害怕失望。
---------------------------------------------------
在那天和 Sheryl 谈完话之后，她说的一个东西，一直印在我脑海里。
我知道她在说什么。
但是有时候，i just want to take the easy way out.
---------------------------------------------------
when i look back i feel sad.
but i do know, that i really want to move on.
i feel sad for how things have turned out and become.
but.
i just want to be all that He wants me to be.

below's an article from allenmickle.wordpress.com.
it totally describes how i feel.
Patience is nothing that we enjoy! Have you ever wondered why things cannot be instantaneous when so much in life already is? We have instant coffee, instant meals, instant banking, and so forth and so on. Now, I can log on the net and do all my banking in an instant! It is incredible how fast our society runs and how quickly we expect things. Now my personality runs in that way like the world. If I have to wait longer than a minute or two on hold on the phone or for my French Vanilla Cappuccino at TIm Horton’s, I’m seeing red!
But even in thinking through things from a Christian perspective we demand instant success. The health and wealth movement thinks that as soon as you are a believer a simple prayer of faith makes God instantaneously bring about financial success! Or, there are those in the Wesleyan movement for instance that believe that one can attain instant sanctification instead of going through the grueling process of the battle with sin in the Christian life. Why does God want us to learn things over time than in an instant?
I will be leaving today to drive down to Pennsylvania to pack up my fiance’s things and move them all up here to our new home in St. George. I am already feeling impatient! And I have felt that way through our relationship. At my age, when you find the right person, you don’t want to wait any longer! July 26 cannot come soon enough! Also, through almost all our time together I have been searching for where God wants me to be in ministry. It was in the 11th hour that He answered it and brought me to Slavic Gospel Association. What is He trying to teach me?
First, He is trying to teach me that time is meaningless to Him. Peter says in 2 Peter 3:8, “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” God is completely outside of time. He is not affected by time. It has been said that the past, present, and future, are present concept to Him all at once. He knows the past and the future as if they were the present. We live in a quick fix, instant society, but God lives in timelessness. In that timelessness we have to be willing to work on His time, not our own. Patience is something He is teaching us through his timelessness. In the end, remember that all we do here on earth is but a blip in the timeline of history. We must have an eternal mindset and know that only what we do for an eternal purpose in life will truly matter later.
Second, He is teaching that patience is an evidence of a godly life. Galatians 5:22-23 in that fruit of the Spirit section tells us this. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” As beleivers we should recognize that we are to be patient as a reflection of God’s work in us. Quick tempered impatient people are not people who are pursuing godliness the way they should. A fruit of the work of the Spirit in the lives of the believer is patience. So pursue patience as a reflection of the work of Christ in your life.
Third, He shows us that patience effects much! The Scriptures are full of teaching that patience effects much in our life. We can do much through patience that we could not do through impatience! Proverbs 25:15 reads, “Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.” The idea here is that patience can win over people and accomplish things that could not be done in an instant.
For instance, part of my ministry with SGA is fund raising. It is easy to get impatient with churches and individuals hoping they will support the ministry right away. Sometimes it takes time to work with individuals to bring them where you want them to be whereas an immediate demand for a response would have brought resistance. Be patience practically because it brings much reward!
Finally, God wants us to be patient because He is patient with us. In our sin God does not judge us as He should, but instead is patient with us, enduring much on our behalf. Romans 2:4 reads, “Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?” God is patient with you in your sin. You deserve death each day for your rebellion against Him, but he allows you to remain on earth. He is patient so you too must be patient!
So, thank God that He does not do things for us in our time but does it in His time. For His time is always best and it is for our good. So much of what we have today in our instant society makes us selfish and demanding. Instead, learning patience, no matter how hard it is, will be something that changes us and continues to conform us to the image of Christ who is the most patient man who ever lived enduring in patience with our sin, the cross for our salvation. Praise the Lord the Christian life is not easy and that we must endure much in order to teach us patience!

my long-overdued post.
suddenly, there are a lot of thoughts that flood my mind. a lot.
anyway, let's do a proper blog post! haha.
watched 大喜事
真的很不喜欢这部电影。从艺术的角度看来，真的是糟透了。不了解影评人为什么会给一个不错的分数，甚至认为这部戏比幸福万岁好看。
可能我的要求很高。
虽然很甜蜜，可是不能不觉得，这部戏像在骗观众的感情和钱。11月开拍的电影，1月上映，让我看不到一丝诚意。虽然我不能够以时间来判断，但是，看完整部戏之后，才真的觉得，这部戏缺少诚意。
首先，我不了解这部戏到底要说的是什么。如果是一部浪漫的爱情片，那么，剧情怎么那么老掉牙？我开玩笑说，编剧好像把最 cheesy 和 cliche 的片段都放在这里头了。
感觉。这部戏好像是乘着李铭顺和范文芳的好事和宣传戏码开拍的。
最不能忍受的，还是我感觉不到一丝诚意。
唯一能感受到的，或许是李鸣顺和范文芳之间那真挚的爱情，其他的，不值得一谈。
如果为了商业理由而拍片，那就干脆不要拍吧。
为了票房而营造的宣传效果，只会让人唾弃。
是谁在每一部戏出来后，都一直批评梁智强的片？
至少我在他的电影里找到诚意和意义。
虽然主题不鲜明，但是，我看到心意，了解他的用意。
诚意。两个字。非常重要。
我虽然爱看 i 周刊，但是，对他们拥有的深层偏见，还是感到非常不满。
每一部梁智强近期的作品，都被品头论足。
对于这样的一部片子，却没有看到诚恳的评语。
对不起，容许我在这里发点牢骚。
after all's said, i still enjoyed the company!
haha. i met ting 5 nights in a row, ying 4 nights in a row, mingxun 3 nights in a row, and weijian 2 nights in a row. lol.
we had a lot of fun these few days. just like every cny. i love how things slow down in cny, which is exactly wad i need. (:
back to work on my fyp again!

after such a long time, i finally got the chance to shop for myself. amidst the worry that it will be really crowded, by the time we reached town it was already 9 plus nearing 10. and becos of that, i didn't meet the large crowd i thought i would. and...
guess what???
I BOUGHT MY MANGO DRESS!!!!
seriously, i cannot remember when is the last time i am so happy over something that i have bought.
it was a real fruitful trip tdy, cos i bought the mango dress, another dress and a top.
and i love all of them a lot. haha.
here i am, blogging at 630am!
because i decided just now to pack and clean my room. thank God i did that somewhere earlier this yr, so that wasn't that much work to do. just had to pack a few things and clean up the room. i love my room now. packing n cleaning rooms give ppl such a sense of satisfaction! that's why i think, spring cleaning is a must!!! for some reason. it's my yearly chu xi tradition. haha. and i spent more than an hour in the toilet washing my toilet! feeling a little tired cos i scrubbed really hard. lol.
anyway, i'm off to sleep v soon. waking up tml to do my fyp. yayyyyy! cos waking up to a nice and neat room.
ps. i have changed my bedsheets to something that looks a little cheee-na. haha.

i woke up at 8am this morning to go to the dentist. walking on the streets at 8am in the morning feels good! i love the morning air. i think that i am really a morning kind of person. hurhur. maybe that explains why i just cant work in the night. meaning, my fyp is lagging again, and my shopping trip is gone. :(
i like my new dentist. she's nice. i dunno how good she is though, but hopefully, everything's ok. (: but i nd to pluck my wisdom tooth again. HAIX. it's expensive and painful. (btw, my dentist was not like wad it seemed in the picture. hurhur. the trip was much more pleasant. )
anyway, i saw an email and it was from a RGS tcher. what touched me in a big way was the love and pride of a Rafflesian. like how proud they were to be Rafflesians, and part of the Raffles family. I think HC has it too, but probably i dun feel it as strong.
And that made me wonder this morning, if it was a right choice to not go RGS when i was P6. At the very last minute, i opted for DHS. I realised sth, that for many yrs of my life, i refused to do a lot of things due to my fear. Instead of meeting up to challenges, i backed down and chose the easy way out. Because of that, i felt that i really missed out on certain things in my life.
Somewhere last yr, i made a decision that i would not be fearful. And things really started to change. So i believe God is a good god, and He will restore the years that the locusts have eaten away. (((:
i am gonna really work on my FYP tdy, and pray hard that i'll finish a substantial part of it, so that i can play for the wkend!!!
Happy CNY my friends! (((:

i caught this from sharon's blog. simple yet powerful truth. it did take me away.
Respect: A prerequisite for promotion.
Never harbor a negative opinion abt people who are assigned to lead you.
It's that secret sins of rebellion which are like the little foxes that spoil the vine, little and subtle but lethal.

my friend showed me an article in financial times, that featured Barack Obama. the subject of this article was about the power of his speech. after i read it, i was encouraged by how Obama would prepare his speech. he spoked about how when his dad spoke, it seemed that the whole family was transformed.
read his speech this morning. i loved the way he directed people to a common vision. how amazing it was that with a 20-min speech, he united the hearts of America together. yes indeed i agree that he is a charismatic leader.
what dr bernard shared then came to my mind. he spoke about change. kairos.
i pray that we would see change, not just in America, but in the whole world.
it is great to see how Americans would unite over a greater goal, and not just for themselves.
We need to live for something, greater than ourselves.
Yes, it is time to put away childish things indeed.
without a vision, the people perish.
given a vision, the people will rise up to the call, and run with it.
i pray that Barack Obama will indeed be a man of his words.
and i want to learn, to inspire others too.

The message on Sunday touched me in a big way, and resonated with what I felt in my heart.
I spent a long time toking to S on Sat night, and though tired, i felt satisfied and fulfilled.
and after that talk, on Sunday, God responded to my questions. During worship, as we were singing, I felt God speak clearly into my spirit.
"Prepare yourself"
There is a reason for the wait, and there is a reason why I am going through this.
All the more i feel, that there is a need to humble myself. What S said touched me in a big way and reminded me. It's humbling. It's a privilege. And was reminded again of what my friend told me a few days ago, God gives grace to the humble but resist the proud. Yes without God's grace I would not be standing here.
Thanks S for the conversation, certain fellowship just makes you better, and i am happy for that.
Jesus thank you, for always speaking into our lives.
Regarding what Pastor said.
God has already planned everything beforehand girl, just trust and obey. Trust and obey.
It's simple isn't it, just that we always like to complicate things.
Pst stuck a lot of truths in his message, like bites that we need to grab and meditate on.
I was really encouraged by the word.

when we are able to imagine, we have hope, and our dreams live on.
hope sustains life, sustains love, sustain peace and joy.
hope is the anchor of our soul.
i will keep dreaming, keep hoping, keep loving.
what is the wildest thing u can imagine yourself doing? He will do more than that.
what is the greatest thing u can imagine yourself doing for him? He will do more that.
the potential of man is great, but it takes one to truly believe.
and yes, i believe.
i believe i can imagine.
i believe i can see a new generation.
i believe i will see men and women of God, after His own heart.
i believe i will walk in the will of God.
i believe He will grant me the desires of my heart.
i believe I will walk in the call He has for me.
i believe. and i imagine. and i confess. and i see it. (:

因为上课让我感觉，我真的还是个学生。哈哈。
享受走在风中的感觉。最近天气怎么那么好？
我喜欢风打在我脸上的感觉。
我喜欢穿着外套，还是寒冷的感觉。
从教补习的地方离开，走了一段路。
回家时，提早一个站下车， 又走了一段路。
享受。
这个夜里，吹着风，听着五月天。
享受。
这年头，我享受每个宁静的夜晚。
我享受你的陪伴。
我享受你的信任。
莫名的享受。
(:
享受在学校的一天。(:

有人问我，为什么还要上课？因为上课让我继续思考。

i had a really good time with terence and xueqi today at xq's 21st birthday party. it was fun reminiscing the past, and joking and laughing together. i can't rem when was the last time! and i can't believe that we are going to be friends for a decade! A decade is an awfully long time really.
I always believe that we should not dwell in the past. But i also believe, that without a past, a man cannot have a future. Everything we have talked about belongs to the past, but it is such a big part of us and makes us who we are today. But greater things are really ahead, and like what we always say, history is indeed in the making. (:
Was talking to another fren last night, and i shared a lot of things from my heart. Recently, speaking of things like that reminds me of how good God has been to me, and the things that are in store really blow my mind away. I'm really looking forward to a great 2009. (:
my God is good, awfully good.
