One thing I am grateful about is having a bunch of supportive friend for the past 6years. Whenever I view those past videos/photos on facebook, I can’t help but laugh out loud, literally.
I kind of amused me how I actually did something that is totally ridiculous such as being an OGL. honestly, i am someone who is rather introvert and doing such cheering is definitely not my cup of tea. yet, i actually participated and from the video, it seems like im enjoying it. ;) nice memory uh.
I really am grateful to God for blessing me with a few supportive friends who literally went through thick and thin in my life. I am really glad that distance is not the factor that cause us to drift apart. really glad to be able to continue to keep in touch with some of the pals despite not entering the same college. :)
and honestly, i am thankful to have a bunch of good friends in jc. we may not come from the same background/culture. yet through the two years, i’ve learnt so many values and skills which really prune my character. i will definitely miss those tutorials and lecture days when we simply enjoy each other’s presence. these treasured moments are definitely very dear to me.
well, no matter what, every good things have to come to an end. while awaiting to enter another chapter of my life, i am really excited and anticipate for what God has installed for me.
The many ups and downs I experienced is part and parcel of life. am really grateful with what God has blessed me with.
shall really set aside one day to ruminate into the word of god.
i just want to thank God for God.
Well.. today i learnt something in an extraordinary way. I learnt the meaning of constantly evaluate ourselves the reason why we are doing what we are doing. In life, there are many things for us to choose and for some job, they provide us with so many benefits and they definitely seem attractive. but guess what, it may not be as accomplished as what we thought.
Perhaps i am really not someone who can deal with business and those sophisticated laws and ethnics. for one, i prefer to do things that can bring me a sense of accomplishment. a job which i know, i’ve impacted someone’s life in one way or another.
material wealth doesn’t really matter much at the end of day. all i want, is to have sufficient wealth for daily survival. i don’t mind taking the extra mile to help, provided the person is grateful with your effort.
i am thankful to know God and comprehend to meaning of contented.
perhaps i should just hide it and move on.
please be nicer to others. they don’t deserve such a treatment, and i really mean it.
things change constantly and all we have to do, is to catch up with the demand of what the society wants. perhaps I am in the midst of growing up as I see how the world functions. just dislike how hypocritical people can get but i learnt that i shouldn’t speak out vaguely so as to not break the friendship forge.
well, going through another stage of my life. it makes me ponder and realise who are consider as ‘weather’ friends in my life. consider it as personality or what, i dislike having such ‘weather’ friends in life. i am pretty thankful for a few friendship that was forged during different stages of my life and they are very dear to me.
of course, i am really glad to have God to see me through all seasons of my life. sometimes, i just feel that i totally don’t deserve His grace and mercy on me. yet, time and time again, He shower that unconditional love and trust telling me that He has yet to give up on me.
Perhaps, for one i am proud of, i’ve spent large portion of my youth serving god and i will to continue doing it. thank you for those friends who have impacted my life one way or another. :)
much treasured
Well, happy new year. >:)
Today was rather a simple day. i started recounting so many stuffs and the many happenings in my life in 2011. in the yaer of 2011, I learn so many things that i can hardly pen them down. i learnt how to live a credible life( though i am not a master of it as yet). i learnt to be a man of my own words. i learnt the importance of relying on God and having just that simple god-and-me relationship.
no doubt, at certain point of my life, i deterred myself from God’s amazing plan for me. i regretted and blamed myself but then again, i learnt how unconditional god’s grace is. despite the thousand and one boohoo moments i’ve made, He never fails to give me a brand new day and encourage me through one way or another.
my 2 years JC life was not that easy neither is it difficult personally. but one thing i thank god for is to allow me to gradually witness the real world. i am of course still a noob compare to some of my friends about how the real world really is. but i thank god for blessing me with friends who i can truly trust as they guide me through this mini adventure, i will say.
Today, when i was taking the lift back home, it suddenly dawn upon me that what if the lift were to not stop at my level and continue going up, to a place where it’s totally unfamiliar to me. ya see, life is just filled so many uncertainties and all we can do is simply, trust that the lift will bring me back home. this year 2012, i must learn to be less sceptical and give people some trust and doubt less. i want to have faith that things will turn up well.
i want to lead a life that is meaningful with God in the centre of all the friendships. i want to learn to be more serving and stop thinking of me and myself. i want to learn to serve the world out there.
i just simply want to be the light, that shine forth God’s glory. no insecurities, no uncertainties, no regrets.
though i am running a different pathway from some of my good pals, but i believe that one day, we will approach the same finishing line. :)
its christmas, yet again.
This year, is definitely a year of testing. I celebrated my Christmas eve silently at my cousin’s house. but honestly, i do appreciate the company we had. it’s the first time when i really get to talk to them as in there’s no tomorrow. LOL
But i could remember vividly how i spent my past few years Christmas eve going around Serangoon and carol. it is perhaps one of the most memorable memory i have that will leave a footprint at the back of my mind. i thank god for such memory that is definitely unforgettable.
as this year comes to an end, a tinge of sadness and anxiety yet excitement get over me. for the upcoming year, i will embark to another chapter of my life journey. everything will again, be so surreal and uncertain. yet, i have to gather all the courage and tell myself that by hook or crook, i have to embrace myself to this next stage of my life adventure..
amidst all these uncertainties, i know there’s someone there who will bring me through. there’s someone there who will silently bring me through like how He lead me through my entire youth. for one, i am proud of is, i spent my youth fruitfully serving God.
really, what matter most is, how God use ordinary people to do extraordinary stuffs. the same God who bring me through my youth will also be the same God that will bring me through my next stage of life.
so, i shall thank god in advance. shall spend this christmas season thanking God for his faithfulness in my life. >:)
Finally, i am left with three papers before i can officially announce that i have conquer A level. This period of time is definitely a period of mental challenge rather than intellectual. Sometimes, i wonder why God allow me to fall sick during such period of time when healthy body plays a huge factor. But you knw, i kind of figured out the reason why.
Perhaps, by falling sick, i will give myself some rest and not strain my physical body. But, i honestly want to thank God for every paper that i went through. many will say that all those ‘guesses’ are pure coincidence. but hey, i truly bet to differ. I believe that coincidence is God’s way in remaining anonymous. i want to thank God for making himself so true during this period, especially when I am physically drained because of the bad flu.
okay well, I am left with 3 papers! sometimes i wonder, will things turn up to be the expected outcome.? No matter how much preparation one makes, i still believe that there are instances when hiccups happen and things may turn up to be otherwise. that’s perhaps why i never expect good things to happen and if it really does, its perhaps just a bonus.
but you know what, no matter how many hiccups i may face in the days to come, i want to have the habit to evaluate every single mistake i make. i want to simply.. make this long vocation a worthwhile one.
i want to go out and see the world. i want to.. serve the world up there.
time flies, and it really does. i could remember vividly how two years back, around this period of my life, i was typing how reluctant i was to graduate from high school life. but guess what, i officially graduated from my jc life today.
it makes me feel excited but at the same time fearful. it makes me realize that i am one step nearer to stepping into the society. it makes me wonder yet again, the meaning of life. what it really means to live a life, knowing why you are doing what you are doing.
Perhaps, jc life is the period when i start to grow and learn to be independent. definitely, i will miss those stupid and retarded moments in life when we will never fail to laugh at the almost all our teacher’s jokes. one thing for sure, i am really thankful to have such good teachers in my yjc life.
okay, i shall leave all those clinches ‘speech’ after A level.
Well, today i posed myself one question- what is the feature that differentiates childlike-ness from stubbornness?
Jesus said that its only if and only if we have a childlike heart, we cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven. yet, this is still a difference between childlike and stubborn.
Perhaps, what differentiates them is the heart condition. stubborn is when one just want to get his/her through without bothering what other thinks. on the other hand, childlike is when you do certain things simply because you are doing without much ulterior motives lying behind.
but i want to learn to be more firm, more firm to what i am standing for. i want to comprehend what it really means to serve the world. not just mere words, but with actions and heart.
its not a one day event. it’s a lifestyle because Jesus was sent to serve us. He exemplify and set a standard for us.
so now, what’s your heart condition?
Well, before i drown myself into Econs, i shall post something.
Went out with one of my closest friend today and as i recount back, i really thank God for this friendship we forged ever since the first day of our secondary life. We literally went through thick and thin together as i recount back those good and bad time we had.
i could remember how back then, the childish and immature us, can simply fight over the simplest thing ever. How you will never fail to help me to tie knot during Physics spa because i can never set up the equipment right within the time limit. there were even few instances when i actually took the entire period to set up and barely have enough time to carry out my experiment. that time was, pure cui-ness.
I can remember how you never fail to nag at me to ask me entertain you during lesson when i was in my sweet dream. I can remember how we do silly stuffs together to peep at ______ things together and giving each other the stupid face. i can remember how we ‘compete’ to complete maths question together within the time limit. i can remember how you always scold me for sleeping too much in class. i can remember how you ‘outreach’ together with me in the canteen because i tell you i need/want to.
i can definitely remember you once told me that i will abandon you once we graduate. and i remember vividly i give you that stupid face and say ‘nah’.
Time flies. It’s been two years ever since we graduate. But i really thank God for this friendship that is going strong. perhaps it’s because the thick and thin experiences we went through, you’re the few people that i can truly trust.
i thank God for you, Jessamine! :D
lalalalalala.
Well, tonight, i actually spent sometime watching this channel 8 drama which everyone commented that it’s super nice and such. but that drama sets my thinking so many think.
i wonder to myself, if this world is really that corrupted? Given a chance, i really want to go and see and witness such happening using my own eyes. it makes me wonder if fighting is always the solution to all problems and such.
sometimes in life, there are so many things that seem so dramatic. since young, i was told that whatever things happened on television will not happen in real life. but now, i wonder if this statement is really that valid.
life is just so complicated. Or perhaps, the world itself is so complicated. but i still believe that deep down inside the heart of a soul, there’s still a tinge of kindness and compassion.
the world, is not that bad after all. all we need to do, is just to fill that God shape hole.
