It's 11pm here right now.
I MISS HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
3 days and counting!

Why?

2009-10-17T01:05:00.003+08:00

"On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal.
I became angry and said to God:
'Why did You permit this?
Why don't You do something about it?'
For awhile God said nothing.
That night He replied, quite suddenly:
'I certainly did something about it.
I made you.'"

Five Loaves and Two Fishes (Corrinne May)

A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly, the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
The kindness in His smile
And the boy cried out
With the trust of a child
He said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all to feed them all"

I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give You every breath that I have
Oh Lord, You can work miracles
All that You need is my "Amen"

So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in You
I trust in You

So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small

Love this song. Makes me want to give God even more everytime I listen to it. (:

Don't you just love God?
Everytime you offer up to Him the little that you have, He multiplies it and blesses you back with so much that you can't contain it.
Just received two cheques from my aunt -- One is a usual birthday present, and another, the exact amount I need for BF.
Wow, wow, and wow.
I'm glad my God is a God of abundance. (:

Was on hospi this week on Wednesday and Friday. Thankyou Xuejun, I really missed hospi!!
Even though I spent half my time washing dishes, I was really glad to be a support to the ministry. They were all chionging like mad, they deserve a good break after tmr!
HAHA oh yeah Aunty Lilian asked me if I cut my top ytd (If you know which one), and I told her it was supposed to be like that. So funny! Uncle Goh too, kept seeing him the past few days and he was always making coffee at night, hahah. They're such a lovable pair! :D

Pastor Jamaal and the team are just so awesome!
Didn't really get to interact with them but did get to know Kamryn when I was at Subway. She's just so amazing, so bold, so real.
The girls were playing with Rinnah and I saw how comfortable they were with one another. Nothing to hide. They knew that the other party were who they were.
Looking at them really makes me love kids even more. Gonna have dozens of them! Or maybe not. Don't wanna spoil the weighing scale after I've given birth.
Anw, funny thing was, we couldn't recognise Pastor Jamaal when he came cos they all look alike. But then again, we all look alike to them, hahah.
But I believe Pastor Jamaal's gonna share a great Word tmr!

Yes and ytd's PM was so powerful!
Jamie's prayer was so powerful! I could tell it was her when she went up. Really anointed, I love my CGL! (:
Charleston's really amazing too! Saw him busy with work ytd but he remained calmed and was never flustered when he had to deal with some problem.
And when a group of people came up to say bye to him, he took this opportunity to get to know them. He even knew a very new integration if I'm not wrong. Wow.
Garrett didn't scare me for the whole week (Hallelujah!)! When he asked me to get coke for Jennifer last night, even though I made so many mistakes, he still smiled and asked Annabelle to help me.
Wendyly had sore throat the whole week so we didn't start M18.
But she came to join us when we prayed ytd and eve though her voice wasn't entirely back, she still prayed loud and strong! Power!

Yes world! I'm so excited about life and now, I have to say the same thing again- It's time for me to study again.
Didn't do well for Prelim 2 either but there were major improvements in SBQ for SS and summary for chinese. (:
Thank God for my friends too. Peng and Emo Kia kept encouraging me when they knew I didn't do well. Emo Kia can be a great friend you know, if she just didn't keep hitting me throughout the debriefs. Now my arm's crippled!!!

7, 7, 7! With men this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible!
Can't thank God enough for what He's done!
Studying hard and getting 7 would be a great choice!

My main concern is not whether God is on my side but rather, if I'm on God's side. -- (Forgot who)

The adventure of making oreo cheescake, overwhipping cream and stuffing oreo cream down the throat!

2009-09-18T21:05:00.003+08:00

Kobanwa, watashi tomodachi!
Here are some things to take note of while baking an oreo cheesecake!

1. You don't have to pop it into an oven, you just make it!
2. Get ready to stuff oreo cream down your throat!
3. Use an electric hand beater! Manual work isn't gonna help!
4. Be prepared not to eat dinner!

That's right, even Sok Min missed her dinner and didn't feel hungry after jogging! That's the power of oreo cheesecake!
All I wanna do now, is to turn bulimic.

My dad's yapping about some nonsense. Studious people must be bespectacled?

Turned out, I chionged home after watching "I love you, Beth Cooper" with Yisheng and Qiwei. (It was hilarious!)
Met Sara, Jessica, Cheryl, and Jojo Nah coincidentally!
That aside, I was at somerset when my mama called to tell me she was at Orchard!
In order to understand that, you have to listen to the story on how I bluffed my mama I was going to church and wasn't able to spend the day with her.
Long story short, we ordered pizza and ate the cake I made and now I've found the solution to asexual reproduction in humans. I feel at least 3 months pregnant.
It was pretty fun actually. (:
Got Crystal over and she introduced me to many funny videos!
Think I'm going to finsh up my card or something first before the live web chat with Sun!
Oh before I leave, I gotta show you these videos! One's really cool and the other's just a joke.

Prelim's over and Teng is finally playing guitar for her CG! So proud of her! (:
Praying that my sister and aunt gets a job!
Gonna be part of the HOGC experience team for hospi next next week! God's amazingggg!
Donating blood tmr! Joining E6 for CG afterward with Sheryl!
Don't you just love life?

Ps, anyone up for oreo cheesecake?

Thank You, God.

2009-09-12T12:27:00.003+08:00

Thank God for such a thing called QT.
Was feeling pretty lousy ytd after leaders' meeting when eveyone was having cuddle huddle and I didn't know where to go.
At first Zhuo and YY said I could join them, then because she's Cheryl Ng, Cheryl glared at me and made me join my own CG. Thank God for her.
Joke, aren't I?
Felt really pissed with myself cos thoughts of insecurity and fear keep coming, even though I know God's my Security.
Thank God for revelations, for QT.
Think I'd have cried if God hadn't been there to encourage me.
It'd have been so embarrasing.
Thank God for Peck too! She's always there to encourage and praise me.
Now I feel like I'm ready to conquer new grounds!
Was just reading his tweets, and they always inspire me to go just a little further, just a little more, and just a little longer.
Thank God for all these people who've unknowingly sown into my life.

Going back to study soon.

Was studying with R7 people ytd at AMK hub.
They were so funny! Love hanging out with them! Miss them tons too!
Took MRT with Doggy after that.
HE WAS SUPER BHB, SHAMELESS.
But he said it was better than being shameful, which is quite true, hahah.
Ended up owing him a drink when we couldn't decide which door will open and I lost the bet.

Reached church afterward and ate nata (I lost the other packet!) and waffle (I finally bought something from cafe as I promised Cheryl Chan!)
Went down with Lulu to buy Pie Kia.
We were dancing and singing 'Happy day, happy day..'
Then.. Guess what?
We were seen buy a bunch of people, namely JO, Megan and someone.
IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING CAN!!!
Lulu said, 'It's called the joy of the Lord.'
My usual response, but I couldn't say it cos I was so embarrassed!

Anw, before I leave, just wanted to hire someone to be on the lookout for me.
I feel my life is being threatened.
First Deleon, then Garrett, and finally, Daryl.
Oh my mama, my lifespan will be shortened from all that scaring!
God, HELP!!!

Did I mention? I don't wanna make Spongebob my boyfriend anymore.
It's so yucky after I read about The First Reformed Church Of The Spongebob.
Thanks ah Jas, hahah.
There were things like, Book of Jellyfishing, believing in YAP- Yellow, Absorbent and Porous and whatnot.
All sorts of nonsense! I almost fainted when I read those.
Ugh!

Gotta 'tak zi' now.
Routines are the foundations of the spectacular. -- Pastor How

Wendyly is my source of inspiration!

2009-09-05T12:54:00.003+08:00

I used to think how leaders like Jamie, Wendy and Mel have really inspired me, but I didn't think much about how my own leader has inspired me in my walk with God.
Previously, I've always thought that Wendyly and I wouldn't click because we were of different breed. While she must've been one of the most popular girls around, I'd always hang out with people who weren't in the limelight.
Each time we sat together during service (when she's not on livefeed. RARE.) and we didn't have a common topic, I'd have this fear that she didn't like me.
Everytime I read her entries and didn't find my name written in her entries, I'd get disappointed.
But all that insecurity has died of anw.
(Wendyly, if you read this, don't worry kay! That was in the past!)
As I began to read (okay scan through) her posts last night, I could feel such an immense faith in her heart. Not because she felt that she was capable of doing everything herself, but simply because, she trusted in God.
Even when she faced problems in her studies, she'd never fail to reply me and encourage me when I tell her my grades are poor.
Whenever I was sleepy, she'd be there to tell me to draw strength from God and would sms me to keep me awake (HAHA).
Even when I told her about my crushes (past and present), I knew I could trust her cos she's never made me feel embarrased before. She simply let me say what I wanted to tell her and never probed too much.
She's just been sowing so much into my life unknowingly (I mean me).
Thankyou Wendyly, I love you! (:

I Love Prelims!

2009-09-05T00:36:00.002+08:00

In fact, life has been great even though prelims has started!
More time for God, to rest, and for family!
Yay and today is self declared slacking day!
Was super bloated after lunch. Made me 3 months pregnant. But it was the best lunch man!
Gonna stay up a lil' longer, haven't done that in a million years.
Decided to post only because of people like Emo Kia (cum Squirrel Fighter). HAHA.
Okay I'm done!
I love Jesus! :D

Fight, Sok Min, Fight

2009-08-10T00:22:00.002+08:00

Psalm 42:5
Why are you so cast down, O my soul? And why are you so disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.

Feeling a little yucked at myself. 've been inspired by Pastors' sermon, DC, everything but.. Sok Min is always All-Talk-And-No-Action.
Stop procrastinating. Stop giving yourself excuses. Stop being laidback. Fight.
Yes, fight.
Feeling a little like, I have nothing much to pull out of my spirit anymore.
Then all the more, you gotta fight.

Sounds emo right? Well, I'm getting over it!
Great day starting in a few hours' time!
Powerhouse, worship session, E odds outing!
Awesome, awesome day ahead!
Thank God for Pastors and leaders, as well as people around me like Sheryl, Jaslyn and Lichang!

My current dreams:
1. 7 for O levels!
2. 13 souls saved by 2009!
3. To be worship leader + ZL! (Haven't decided by when)
4. For CCH new gens to become a CCA in Chung Cheng! (Pastor says don't rubbish your thoughts!)
5. To give XXX amount for building fund! (Think bigger!)
6, 7.. Can't remember..

Yes everyone! Lim Sok Min is back! Goodnight!
Forgot I haven't bathed yet. :B

2009-07-30T11:10:00.002+08:00

Time to blog again!

Thank God my fever subsided. Else my mama would be so worried.
Staying at home now cos I was forced by people like Mama, Fanny and Laozhang.
Bad thing about staying home:
1. You can't go anywhere else! (Missing Hospi meeting! D:)
2. How to hover around people's lives sia! (Let's not talk about smsing!)
The good news?:
1. Can chiong study rule!
2. Can pray anytime! :D
Yeah! Promised myself that the first thing I'd do when I wake up is to bathe. In the end, guess what? I went to eat, as usual..
Oh yes and I finished the kinder surprise I won ytd! Hehheh.

So excited about life!
1. Pastor How's gonna chair the FOP!!! Our videos are gonna be up there too!!! So proud of my Pastors and our church!
2. God's been really paving the way for us in E zone and in Chung Cheng! Souls, souls, souls!
Found another person I could add into my incubation list!
Found out that Lichang's rather opened to church and is contemplating between what he should believe in! I almost told him, THERE'S ONLY ONE TRUE GOD! Hahah. REVIVAL IN CHINA! Thank God for Wang Zhiming! Else the population of Christians in China wouldn't have grown like that!

Found these spiritual one liners in the email my aunt sent me! Quite cool!
1. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
2. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
3. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
4. If God is your Co-pilot, swap seats!
5. Prayer: Don't give God instructions, just report for duty!
6. The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.
7. The Will of God never takes you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.
8. You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.
9. The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.
10. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass… It's about learning to dance in the rain...
Found these quotes really cool as I was reading them! But there were some like the next one which I didn't really agree with:
If a church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has. - We have the best Pastors in the world alr!

Think it's time for me to go! Ciao~!

An average week but a not-so-average God

2009-07-03T23:53:00.003+08:00

Been missing songs I learned in children's church recently.
Found myself singing this song over and over again for the past two weeks.

I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever

Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
And I will open up my heart and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,
And I will daily lift my hands;
For I will always sing of when Your love came down.

I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever.

Oh, I feel like dancing -
It's foolishness I know;
But when the world has seen the light,
They will dance with joy like we're dancing now.

Really seems to lift up my spirit whenever I feel just a little sian (Haven't been using word for some time alr). Love both the original version and the one sung by Jars of Clay.
God's so amazing. He either answers my prayers or teaches me something. It's always a great feeling knowing that He hears your prayers. (:

Yepps and so, haven't been not not going to church for at least 4 days a week this week.
Feel weird but I think it's really time I got serious with mugging.
Don't wanna make Pastors and leaders worried by not working hard and getting poor results. Mama too.. Was really shocked to hear she actually wakes up in the middle of the night thinking I'm taking O's this year and I haven't studied for it..
Man, I really gotta glorify God!

Enough of that!
've been watching Glittering Days cos I really missed alot of episodes.
Told myself that other than the devil, Luo Wei was my biggest enemy, hahah.
Can't wait for Monday! Though it's gonna be real sad, I can't wait to see the happy ending!
And it also means I will have one more hour to study after the show ends! Hahah.

Right now, I can't wait for the weekends! Oh it is alr Saturday..
Pastor Kent Munsey will be preaching this week! Cool! :D

Jesus, let my lifesong sing

2009-06-08T00:02:00.003+08:00

Life's been so exciting that.. I don't know where to start from!

1. AMT was awesomeeeeeeeeee!
- Came in my smelly uniform with my "suspicious looking article". My bag looked like it contained a bomb. Either that or I was going for a war.
- KO-ed in school but found myself awake in all the sessions i attended.
- Spilled mee hoon kway on myself during dinner and promised myself not to eat mee hoon kway for a month. Smelled of mee hoon kway even with the deodourant.
- Sessions were super powerful! Was a little disappointed when Pastor How said that none of our spirits were not alive but God began to remind me of this verse:
Proverbs 3: 11 – 12
My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His corrections. For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
(Thank God I memorised 16 of the verses. Though I only remembered part of this verse)
Yup, Pastor is our spiritual father! So I'm sure that he could be honest with us cos he really loves us! At the end of the day, the whole session really pushed us to pray even more!
During ministry in the session with Dominic, wasn't sure who prayed for me but the voice was rather unfamiliar. The amazing thing was, the person knew my name (probably because I was wearing my nametag, LOL) and it was really accurate! Felt God telling me the same thing after session with Pastor How but this confirmed what He said, that this was a season for me to really grow stronger, and it was God's desire for me. However, He doesn't want me to just give Him my best with my abilities, but with my time too.. Wow, God never ceases to amaze me.
- Slept at 1am and woke up at 3am when Yassy came in with the drums and Val Tock yelling at us to fall in in 2 minutes. Did BM after that with our team clearing trash cos Bing Rong reported last, HAHAHA.
- Had pm at 4am. Loved the praise song but couldn't remember what it was! Prayed after worship and it was really powerful. Got to go up the stage to pray and was really nervous at first but kept praying before I went up and everything went well! Flowed with the Holy Spirit and the whole session really inspired me to pray more!
- Finished pm at 505am and almost everyone else peng san-ed in MPR while i jumped around getting ready for school.
- Needless to say, someone KO-ed in school..

2. Hospi was excitinggg!
- Mama concluded that I was to be a Maria in Hospi so I told her that it's HIGH CLASS MARIA okay!
- Decided to wear a jacket which turned out to be the worst decision ever cos I ended up sweating like.. a BBQ pork (?) the whole day.
- Got to wash dishes like never before. Tons of them.
- Found out that some staff and leaders really had disgusting eating habits!
- Cracked super lame jokes the whole time.
- Admin office became my new found favourite place! Tried to find opportunities to go inside for the air con and Zach discovered this secret. HAHA.
- Went down to buy loads of food the whole time and learned alot from Huimin, Hannah and even Randyne who taught me how to differentiate the the utensils!
- Got to eat the chicken wings that were meant for Pastors. Felt sinful so Yilu and Huimin had to join us, hahah.

3. Service was simply the best!
- Loved the worship led my Resonance. Power!
- Pastor's 8 Ways of Confusing Your Leader was hilarious and sermon was super impacting!
- God spoke to me and all the little pieces came together.
Gotta step out from the zone of fear and into the zone of faith. Don't just be faithful, be faith-filled. That's why you were given the name Sarah Ann Faith.
- Lastly, Garrett's birthday party was amazing! Super hilarious with the Wonderboys and Evelyn's and Sam Teo's act. And Adri's, Eli's, Wendy's and Peck's singing as well as the testimonies were all so touching. (:

Yeah! Feel free of all the chains that were bounding me.. Gotta stretch myself this season, and catch up with all the low urgency stuff. They're piling up!

Miss Pastors alr! TWO WHOLE WEEKS WITHOUT WAVING TO THEM! AWW...
Then again, thank God He's omnipresent. Can't imagine life with Jesus. DIE AH!

I've decided. Psalms is my favourite book in the bible!

Forgot to add in, I'M GONNA KILL DARSHEN!!! Said he lost all his appetite when he saw me. YOU WATCH OUT!!!

Long hot summer days

2009-05-25T14:52:00.003+08:00

Can't believe how difficult it is for me to wake up these days.
I'm probably just in a holiday mood alr..
BUT HOW CAN I ENJOY HOLIDAY WHEN MY RESULTS ARE SO LOUSY? ):
Gah, mama's still gotta meet the principal this friday. Wonder how he's got the time to meet so many students.
Fanny says God placed an assurance in her parents hearts. I'm sure God placed an expectancy in my mama's heart. No wonder she took leave "just in case" she has to meet the teachers. (She's NEVER attended "Meet the Parents Session" before.) It's like, she knew my results were gonna be that lousy.
SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Then again, God is really good! Thank God for Wendyly, always feel alot better after talking to her, as well as Zhuo, Mel and Sheryl.

Felt so unproductive last week. Kept watching "Pinky and the Brain". Hahah but it was really funny!
Was watching "80s Rewind" and "PCK Pte Ltd" just now. Made me laugh till I had stitch, hahah.
Feeling really hungry now. I've been surviving on milo powder recently. Mannn, just ran out of it. D:
WOOHOO SPIDERMAN!!! Coming up!

Oh yes we changed our ez link cards today and THEY PUT MY REALLY UGLY P6 PHOTO!!!
Then again, there was self-proclaimed-hunk Mr Gan showed us his photo and jumped for joy for some reason in the funniest way you could ever imagine! HAHAHAHA!
Oh yeah MR LIM IS GETTING MARRIED!!! We've been invited to his ROM. (CR might have to crash the wedding, hahah.)

AHHH! The weather's really hot! People (Amelia and Jiahui) were sweating like crazy! Then again, it wasn't really that much compared to how much we'd sweat during RR concert! Sitting at mosh pit really forced me to drink more water!

I'm editing this post for the millionth (okay maybe just the third) time all thanks to the internet. Blah! Aiyah STOP COMPLAINING!!!

Still loving life man!

Psalm 27:14
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He will strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

RED RAINNNN!!!

2009-05-10T20:59:00.002+08:00

Reasons for being excited about Red Rain's concert:
1. I first came during Red Rain concert 2008! (Which mean I've been in church for a year!)
2. E3's gonna breakthrough and Chung Cheng's gonna grow!
3. Simply because. Red Rain is awesome!!!

Yayness!

Can't wait to serve in Hospi next Tuesday! Usher's gonna be exciting too!
Studies for now!! Last few papers for Prelim 1!!

I love my Jesus! He's amazing!

I belong to Jesus!

2009-04-11T12:14:00.005+08:00

YAYYY! I'M FINALLY MARRIED TO JESUS!!!
This is what I'll tell the devil- Can't touch this (me that is)!
Was thinking what I'd say if this was Star Awards. It'll probably go like this:

我要感谢我的spiritual父母, How传道和Lia传道, 以及我的领导, Wendyly, Wendy, Garrett, Jamie与Charleston．
因为他们在我的生命中种下了许多种子, 使我成为现在的我．
感谢我的朋友与家人那么支持我．
最后, 我要感谢耶稣, 感谢上帝, 赐予我这条生命的阿巴父神.

That's the ultimate lah! I can't believe I just said that! HAHA!
Yes but I'm sooo excited!!!
Oh and to Mel, don't worry, I'm definitely fine! In fact, I feel great! Don't feel gulity! I knew in my heart that you guys were there with me in the spirit. Love you guys to the max!

Hahah and yes, after service we did 1001 random stuff!
1. Went to get people to wear the bunny hairband! That included Garrett (we sent his to Jamie), Zhuo and Mel!

(The background reads "Accounts Department")

2. Went to press the button at white gate with YY and the rest and said that we were Peter Parker, aka Spiderman!

3. Went to take random pictures with Mel, YY and of course, Chek! Hahah!

Yeah, was super high when I reached home and was talking to Sheryl and Bounce.

Decided to sleep early but mangaed to wake up early to do homework before going back to sleep again. Hahah.

But yes, I'm doing my homework!!!

Need to manage my time well man! 20 hours of study rule is gonna be easy!

MY STANDARD ONEEES!

2009-03-27T23:49:00.004+08:00

HAHAHAHA! Yes i got their pictures! They're so cute man!
My superrr cute sec ones! :D

Oh man look at Brian! Doesn't he look like a girrrl?

Hahah Tangjie actually came up with this pose himself!

Yes they're like so adorable! Even though they always bombard me with 1001 questions!
Hahah so that's my sec ones for you! People who totally like to learn and get bored of games! Can you believe that?
Anw, Caresse if you're reading this, good luck to you! I won't be taking them next week!
Guess these lil' cute friends of mine will miss me! Aww..

Yeah and so, today (I mean ytd!) was great! Went to church after training! Totally miss hanging out like that!
Dearest Cheryl got cheated! She went down to the shop which prints photo at 854pm but it was alr closed though it was supposed to close at 9pm! Poor girl!
And yeah, drank 2 one-dollar coke cos my wallet was practically empty! ):
Ahh, don't know how I'm going to fulfill my AI pledge and tithe! But I'm gonna believe that God will provide!
Yes! And we (Fion, Liwen, Derry, Wendyly) called Wendy just now! Scared me when Wendy said we were the main culprits for not enough love in the zone! :B
Thank God it was about shopping for birthday presents!
Yup thank God! Gonna use this opportunity for us to grow to a whole new level of looooooove for people! (HAHA hi Love, Lucy and Linda!)Yes and now it's time for studies! Tmr's gonna be another awesome day! (:

SHELLY!

2009-03-20T22:37:00.003+08:00

I think my sister's dog is super cuteeee!
Shelly's her name if I'm not wrong, and she's better fed then my sister!
According to her, Shelly also farts and stinks up the whole room. Can you imagine that?
Just take a look at her! I think she reminds me of me. Hahah.

Her party hat's My Little Pony!
She even has wings!

Yawning..?

My sister named this picture "Spacedog".

Hahah yeah! Cool!

Anw, I really gotta study! Fifteeeeeeeeen!

And gotta lose weight. Couldn't fit into the pants I wanted to wear last week. ):

But I'm not insecure, just need to lose some weight.

Guess I can always do that by overeating nonsense like lozenges or yoghurt. It really helps! I get diarrhoea after that. Hahah.

Oh man I really have to go!
Really looking forward to meeting with Pastor Lia tmr! Excitinggg!
Yeah and next up is 2 Chronicles! Finished 1 Chronicles this afternoon!

Dear Lord,

Make me into someone of substance and not an empty shell.

Mould me in Your way God, I want to live my life for You.

Draw me closer to You, and allow me to follow You closely.

Father, I don't want to be a shallow Christian, let me run this race for You and with You all the days of my life.

It's all of me, in exchange for all of You.

Jesus, I love You.

Amen.

Oh man!! I really must be faithful to my blog!
But then again, it was common test period so, I guess it was alright..
Anw, got spammed with comments on this photos as soon as I went on facebook.
Hahah, Yule really knows me! She left me as "The Singer" and "The Eat-a-Lot"! :D
Man, I think it's really cool! And I totally laughed when she left Keehock as "The Productive One"! HAHAHAHA!
So, just to let you guys have a look at all the other characters, the photo is shown below!
Anw, I really really must eat a lot for Yule to tag me as the "Eat-a-Lot"!
And I realise I'm always unglam okay! Look at all these photos!

This one's still not so unglam.

See lah! My face looks like pau!

This is worse! I posed for the camera!

Anw, two of them were taken way back at the end of 2007 when my fringe was super ugly. D:

Hahah.
So as I was saying, common test is over so I can afford to slack a lil'! Yayness!

Yepps, was slacking after Bio SPA today! Thank God I wasn't worrying about the who practical! It was rather easy! (:

Yeah and it was totally awesome how God really pulled me through my exam period when I had 3 subjects per day last Monday and Tuesday! Even though I didn't finish in the end and maybe even didn't as well as I should have, but, thank God for the peace that guarded my heart the whole time!
Wendyly encouraged me to draw strength from God and I did! And when it happened, I felt ready to chionggg and could even push myself to wake up at 2am to study!

Moreover, revelations kept pouring in as I sought God and did QT when I was really tired. As I began to keep pressing on and read my bible, He also opened my eyes to many things through verses!

So it really got me thinking: Maybe the best time to grow is during exam period! When we're really weary and learn to wait upon the Lord! For in our weakness, His strength is made perfect. (:

Oh yeah, participated in the Milo TRYathlon and I have to admit, it was rather lame.

The so called medallion was one tin of milo with a label that read, "Winner!"

I think Shuenyee was on the verge of killing the organisers (actually, I'm just exaggerating) especially when the whole event was so disorganised.

Hahah but I have to say, I love the fact that milo was abundant there!

When I contemplated about getting another cup of milo from the dispenser, I overheard this conversation between a participant and his mom.

Mom: “你还要和多一杯吗？”

Son: “我已经和九杯了。”

Mom: "Orh okay lorh."

LOL right!

Yeah and I even took a photo with the mascot! Look!

Hahah, and the best part was chionging for Zone F service to accompany Daphne and Sheryl. Lynette's sermon was really impacting. (:

Pastor Josh Kelsey's was too! Totally love him! :D

Yeah and so, I gotta go.. drink more milo! :DDD

Love God. Love people. Love life. Love food.

2009-02-23T20:32:00.003+08:00

I feel so excited all of a sudden, like some SZB. HAHA, Siao Za Bo! Or maybe, SLZB. Siao Lao Za Bo! HAHAHAHA!
Just feel ready to run this race for God, like I wanna be available 24/7, aka 随传随到. Cooool!
Yepps and everytime I thank God for something, I begin to see why my prayers get longer and longer! There's just a never ending list of things I can thank God for and pray for!
First I was like woah! Then I was like WOAHHH! But I'm never gonna be like, woah..

Hahah. Fanny and I just decided on one thing. That in the future, my children will be her god children and hers will be my god children.

That aside, I'm gonna study, yes I will. And start on 1st Samuel! :D

I love my life, and I love eating. Just can't stop.

Broken but not broke

2009-02-08T20:51:00.002+08:00

Blah. 've been spending alot of money.
But it's a good thing it was all spent in church. Hahah.
Just ytd, was attending Zone F service with Sheryl and wanted to skip the offering cos I only had one note plus 50 cents.
It was then when I heard Jianming say sth about having the right attitude and not just saying "I'll give the next time."
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, what happened was I just gave it all. Only 5 persons know the exact amount: Sheryl, Wendyly, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. HAHA.
But mama, it was definitely crazy for me!

Anw, Zone F service was awesome! Dominic was so funny! Especially when he was talking about his lecturer. HAHA.
But more than that, I was impacted by the whole sermon! It was about waiting upon the Lord and Dominic shared about the 3 kinds of Christians in Sinapore:
1) People who do not wait on God simply because they don't care.
2) People who do not wait on God because they can't wait. (Saul)
3) People who wait patiently on God because they learn to wait. (Joshua)
Yup and God was saying, don't be in a rush. Sometimes when you limit yourself to a specific amount of time for QT, how do you expect God's power to come?
And I felt a stirring in my heart. Something telling me to listen and not just think I can comprehend God. If I could, how could He be God then?
Yepps and so, I wanna be like a Joshua and wait on God! Wait for His power to come!
For as Garrett shared today at prayer meeting, God's promises always, always, comes to pass!
Yeah! (:

And so..
I HAVEN'T CONQUERED DEUTERONOMY!!! DDDDDD:
I promised myself that I will finsh it on friday night but I fell asleep at 11.
Saturday came, and I fell asleep after I wrote the letter to Lichang and read two chapters at 2 plus.
And now,
I'M DETERMINED TO DO MY HOMEWORK FIRST BEFORE CONQUERING THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY!

Oh yeah, just to share with you.
Zone Annivesary (SJAB) was like URGHHHHHHHHHH! IT MADE ME MISS THE SERVICE WITH PASTOR MING OKAYYYYYYYYYYY!
I'm so sad alr! ):
Oh yeah but did I mention I preorded the sermon DVD and bought the hoGc notebook alr? So exciting!
Anw, Syl, Meixuan, Tong, Caresse and I were exposing his tricks the whole time!
Okay maybe I was more focused on the food and Ah Tong seemed rather interested in the show.
What was worse was Abigail Chan's performance! Oh mannn! You should thank God if you weren't there! These people (Abigail and the magician) need God lah. Hahah.

Yes and lastly, I'm superrrrrrrrrrrrrrr excited about Heartsfest! (Though I looked horrible in that video)
Yes and I'm gonna bring my cute little sec ones! :D
Yayness!

PS Cheryl, I'm still the Sok Min you know. I always don't do homework. And it just so happened that I'm wearing a skirt today (and got called by Xinjie to take photo).

What a weekend!

2009-02-01T15:05:00.002+08:00

Okay, shall not post any photos today.
But LOVE, i have your mistress's unglam photo! I'll upload it when I find my cable!
HAHA, so you see, yy?

Anw, friday was great! My Sec Ones came in! :D
Actually, it didn't go very well at first.
HOWever (Pastor How's favourite word, hahah), after playing the game Caresse suggested and introducing them to Liang Po Po Chicken Dance, everything sorta went well.
You have no idea how scary they were! Almost all of them pulled out their handphones to take a video of Zhen Hui doing the forfeit!
Hahah, and me too of course!

Moving on, let's talk about combined service!
I MISSED CHURCH MANNN!
Yup it was really awesome coming back into the House of God!
Oh yeah but I was soooo scared they would roll the video of the CCH new gens team!
Poor April had to do the "Cookie!" thingy!
And so, after which, we went for zone outing! At Parkway!
Hahah, we ate at Mac and Xinjie was taking twice the time to eat the spicy Prosperity Burger!
Yepps then I went home with Kesia. Kinda early though, earlier than I usually go home.
But I definitely had a great time sharing with and listening to her!
Yeah she's a leader in spirit and it really amazed me when she said she just wanted to do be faithful to the little things!
It wasn't the title that mattered and I was truly inspired by what she mentioned!
Yup and I learned alot that night. (:

Anw, I'm gonna continuing watching Inuyasha again.
Gosh, I feel like the Han last year who was watching Liu Xin Hua Yuan.

Dedicated to my tu di

2009-01-25T14:43:00.008+08:00

Dear readers,

Before you actually scroll down to view the contents of this post, let me warn you, you might wanna reconsider and click that big red cross on the top right hand corner, lest you get horrified by the zi lian-ess of this girl called Vanessa Han Jia Ying. But let us fear nothing but the Lord. So, pluck up your courage and go on to read this post! God bless you!

Monster Inc.

Okay that's me, looking utterly horrible..

Like some bald retard.

I look like cheena! Mama mia..

Look at Peck.

I love HK!

OH MY GOSH PECK!

Focus on Zoe's expression.

Han looking emo.

Promoting Crystal Jade's muffin.

Aha! Fellow zi lian-er!

That is, EECHAN!

Think that's Gab standing behind.

Lame people went up to 12th floor after taking this shot.

This girl purposely left this photo as my screensaver.

So Han, before you say I don't have any photos of you, think again.

This post ONLY includes those you took with my phone.

Maybe next time I shall do the same post for Eechan and Ivy.

Oh yeah, all zi lian people.

Last Weekend!

2008-12-16T00:18:00.008+08:00

Okay I know it's a lil' late talking about last weekend but, who cares?

Hahah alright, last friday we had Radical Night with Pastor Lia and mannnnnn it was so powerful all of us couldn't help but cry and kneel down!

And yes! It ended so late that reception was cancelled (Aww shucks!)! Supposed 9pm became 1035pm!

Wow! And thru this event I actually learnt about so many radical people who literally went up the mountains of knives and down the wok of oil!

In fact, I was so inspired I decided to stop self pitying and complaining!

Amen!

So moving on, Saturday we had Retro Night! :D:D:D

I wore the supposed dress that they wanted me to wear and mannnnnnnn! It was so not me!

Yeah so I have a few photos taken with my phone!

Not gonna put up the rest since Han, Fanny (Fanny= Yifan. She complained about being 2 different persons so yeah, just to clarify.) and Zoe alr posted them.

Mel trying not to look cute

Fanny trying to look cute
Ivy in black
Michelle!

Fanny and Marcus!

Fanny trying to escape when she wanted to be in the photo

What will happen if Marcus's suspenders snapped?

Cheryl still as baby as ever

Poor Mel trying to look happy..

..Not!

Peck looks so cute!

Peck and me!

I had the exact same face 10 years ago

Don't know what we were trying to do

So auntie right!

Cool PeckHoon and Auntie PeckCek

Yup we had so much fun going around taking photos!

Of course I enjoyed eating the most! Hehheh. :D

Sunday we has "Show Me What You've Got!"

It was totally hilarious okay! Especially the "Wash Clean Clean" skit, the PingPong one and definitely watching YongHui burping!

HAHA all of us went wild especially Pastor Lia!

In the end, Roy and Yassy also went up to sing the "Ice Kachang" song!

:D:D:D

Hahah, so here I am, blogging when I should either be asleep or doing homework!

Anw, was talking to Fanny on Sunday about Dennis!

I really had so much hope but still, he didn't make that decision.

Anw, as I was saying, Fanny mentioned this outta random cos she felt this urge to tell me that al of a sudden.

That maybe failing BMT, SOW, and failing to get my friends saved, they were all tests from God.

Since I was the minority among E Zone without PO, that was what she felt like they were.

I believe in what she said.

Though these things may not seem like much, I'm reminded of how I left God previously.
When I faced setbacks and blamed Him for everything.

So I was telling Peck, and I told her I've made the decision never to leave God again!

I can't imagine myself leading a purposeless life like before again!
Praise God!

Oh yeah forgot to mention sth random.
Sheryl gave me half a heart before she left!
HAHA!
Though I knew nothing good could come out of that Diva bag, I put on the necklace since it was a gift from her!
Hehheh.

Anyhow, here's sth even more random!
I'm going to cut my hair on Friday and I'm so excitedddddddddddd!
Yayness! :D

Whoops look at the time! I need to get up early to complete my homework!
Before I leave here's my verse for the week!
My revelation from God but I still don't entirely get it!
No matter what I will seek God! Ask Him why He gave me such verses!

I Corinthians 9:11

If we have sown spiritual things for you,is it a great thing if we reap your material things?

Finding The Spark

2008-12-12T10:55:00.003+08:00

Yes, what Cheryl and Mel shared about, to find the spark when doing mundane stuff.
We may be stagnant now, and it seems almost impossible for such a breakthrough at this point of time, but I believe in the power of a God who created this world and brought about miracles and healings in our lives.
However, I feel that I had the wrong mentality previously.
It's not just being dependent on Pastors and their sermons or the worship team pulling down the presence of God, it's about reaching deep into these people's lives and love them for who they are.
Whether it's a new friend, integration or backslider, or even anyone else you know, we were once like this.
It's up to us to be a good friend and really loving them for who they are.
Didn't we all wanted friends when we first stepped into church?
Y'know, I'm really grateful for Fanny, YY, Mel, Wendyly and all, who never gave up on me and mould me into who I am today.
As I was deleting mesages in my inbox (I can't seem to open it. Think it's full or sth.), I happened to read some of the messages I received from and sent to them.
There and then I realised I was really not easy to integrate cos I was always finding excuse to not attend service or CG outings!
Yup as Wendyly said, I had 1001 camps during June so I was using them as excuses!
Hahah. I think I deserved a tight slap.
Anw, I started laughing whilst reading the messages.
In fact I was so happy deleting my messages that I even deleted once I wanted to keep.
Dang.

Anw, so I realised I get very excited over the smallest thing recently!
Like this morning, I tried to make my very own french toast!
Turns out, I had to scrub off all the chow tah part on the pot I used.
But I kept telling myself I did a great job!
Oh mann I sure hop the clothes hanging in the kitchen don't stink!
Anw so I was saying, I'm veh excited!
Not over wearing a dress (Was I ever excited about that?) but about Radical Night!
So cool! We get to get up close with Pastor Lia tonight and I can't wait!
Drats, I'll be missing the last episode of Forensic Heroes!
But I know what's more important to me! So, Radical Night, here I comeeeeeeeee!

As I was in the toilet (A bit random arh), this song came to my mind:

I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, No turning back.

The world behind me, The cross before me,
The world behind me, The cross before me,
The world behind me, The cross before me,
No turning back, No turning back.

Yup and it totally made me realise that sometimes, there are sacrifices to be made when I choose this path.
Watching teevee is yet but a worldly thing.
So what's my choice?
I don't wanna turn back. Looking back, I realised the period where I left God was the darkest moment of my life.
I was insecure and bitter.
But now, I'm high like no one can stop me!
HAHA. All except Sheryl Lee Keying!

Anw I gotta go!
Tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnes of homework waiting for me!
No wait, I'm going out soon.
Okay I shall make it up tonight!

Oh yeah my verse for this week!
Philippians 3:14
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!

New faith target for E3 is 12!
I believe we're gonna breakthrough!
Amen!

RAHHHHHHHHHH!

2008-12-08T23:38:00.003+08:00

I feel like roaring. ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Feel so dead right now. Feel like forgetting everything and just going to sleep, hugging my pillow, especially when the weather is like, UH! SHIOK MANNNN!
Okay LIM SOK MIN YOU SHALL STOP PROCRASTINATING!
Decisions translate into energy!
I MUST do my homework, I MUST go ahead with worship session and practise playing my guitar, I MUST get up and exercise, I MUST plan my life well!
And I must decide a place to have breakfast with laozhang.

Oh yeah anw, my hands are still numb after being the scoopy ytd!
Didn't realise scooping ice cream required so much effort! Wow!
Helping out at cafe was definitely fun and fulfilling! Don't laugh but I had to wear Jamie's scoopy tee! It was cute except it looked so small on me! Thank God I was wearing another two layers underneath! Now I have to was the shirt but I don't know why I'm so excited!
Thanks to Zoe, I got to serve in a ministry even though I didn't pass BMT!!! :D
Okay so am I supposed to be happy or what?
Actually on one hand, I'm rather happy I didn't pass BMT and SOW auditions.
Yeah I sound screwed, but I believed this is God's plan for me.
Maybe I'm just not ready. Maybe God wants me to focus on my studies and how to handle my CCA better. Maybe, this is His test for me.
Will I blame Him for every lil' setback I face and then leave Him like I once did?
That's when I'll shout a very loud a very loud, "NO!"

I should be doing my homework now but.. AIYAH BLOG AWHILE LONGER WILL DIE MEH?
Okay that's not it. I should say, "Please just continue to blog a lil' longer."
Alright that's not the point. Point is, I have so much to say.
Oh yeah before I forgot, I ATE 4 SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM & 3 COTTON CANDY LAST NIGHT! :B
Was thinking of fasting 3 days then realised that that's not what fasting means.
Fasting is not a time for me to diet!
Anw back to my point.
What was my point??? I can't remember!
Another one then.
My vision for 2009 is to be a TL by the end of the year and give one outta my 3 sheeps his/her last follow up on 18th november! Cool right?
And also to start serving after O's in hospi if possible! But most importantly it's where God wants to put me to!
And to be CG guitarist and more salvations!
(I just made a million grammar mistakes. Miss Kaur said never to start a sentence with 'and' or 'but'.)
In any case, I believe I can do all things who Christ who strengthens me!
Yes and I'm going to put a new verse into my heart each week!
So.. I should be doing QT!
Just a minute. Any moment now, I'm going to switch of the computer and do QT.
Any moment now..
(5000 years later)
Any moment now..
*Teeth crumble into pieces*
I feel addicted to spongebob.
Okay I am!
Not actually, not so much since my birthday and everyone gave me sth related to spongebob.
It was then when I realised he shouldn't be more significant than God in my life.

RAHHHHHHHHHHHH OKAY i really should get going!
I owe Mr Lim so much I think he's gonna whack me!
Oh and someone please remind me to collect my i/c this week!
Just a few more updates before I leave!
Red Rain's drummer, David, came to our church again! And funny Pastor How kept saying we can feel the presence of Jesus!
Funnier Yifan changed the "Pastor" to "Reverend" in her notebook whilst she was copying notes!
Oh and Garrett wore his Mr Busy shirt! Yayness! (:

I really am going off!
Adios! Sayonara! Goodbye! Zaijian!
Tmr will be great! Amen!
Okay it's alr tmr. Whatever.
