hello just came back twilight-ing with yurong.it gave me the inspiration and motivation to start reading the book! haha yes, i'm still leaving on a jet plane.in like, 6 hours.anyway i'm here now cos i just wanted to post hillsong's Believe lyrics.i was listening to it before i slept last night and i felt compelled to post it so, yup here it is.
ta-ta again.(:
ta-ta again.(:
I say on Sunday how much I want revival
But then on Monday, I can’t even find my Bible
Where’s the power
The power of the cross in my life
I’m sick of playing the game of religion
I’m tired of losing my reason for living
Where’s the power
The power of the cross in my life
I’m not content just to walk through my life, giving in
To the lies, Walking in compromises now
We cry out as a generation that was lost
But now is found in the power of the cross
We believe in You
We believe in the power of Your Word that is true
We believe in You
So we lay down our cause
That our cross might be found in You
I’m not satisfied doing it my own way
I’m not satisfied to do church and walk away
I’m not satisfied there’s no love in my life but You
I’m not satisfied living in yesterday’s hour
I’m not satisfied to have the form but not the power
I’m not satisfied, Lord I am crucified in You

hello!
back from camp.it was good.(: haha i felt that this camp was really different from what i remembered my last camp to be.there's like this satisfied and content feeling after the camp, which doesn't usually happen especially when you're a leader or organising the event or something.so yup, got alot to thank God for that happened during this camp.
1. SALVATIONS!(: haha i'm really really excited and happy.if even angels in heaven rejoice when a soul is saved, what more we as humans?
2. sessions and teachings which i could really relate and learn alot from.and i love that everything said is backed up by references.haha i have trust issues.
3. prayer sessions.to be prayed for, and praying for others, it felt good.for the lack of a better word.haha.
4. group bonding.haha initially this was my biggest concern.3 new pple, plus 3 quiet pple...haha.seeing them all sit in a circle and talk and bond on the 3rd day...i think that in itself was God's miracle, cos there was only so much i could do and did.and this really helps alot in future too.the ice has melted.(:
5. weather.if you remember, it rained through the weekend and monday.but from tues to friday...ta-dah, no rain!
My soul finds rest in You, my Jesus
My hiding place amidst the storm
In pastures green
You lead me down to lie
By waters still I shall abide
By waters still I shall abide
I shall not fear in times uncertain
I shall not look to my own strength
Into Your hands
I place my hopes and plans
My trust is in the blood of the Lamb
My trust is in the blood of the Lamb
A crown of thorns pierced through Your temple
The blood that flowed took all my cares
What price You paid
What sacrifice You made
My life in Yours, Jesus my rest
My life in Yours, Jesus my rest

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
emo emo song.
maybe sometimes it's good to live in your own bubble world.where everything seems to be perfect and simple and straightforward.everyone says to tell the truth.but they don't tell you how much it will hurt.
haha kinda delayed reaction.i think it's the holidays that somehow make things even more depressing and upsetting.that, together with an emo song on the ipod.sigh.
So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing: this one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming, though we know we are
So close and still, so far

hello.in view of people complaining that i don't update my blog, i shall update now.(: okay lots have been happening since uh,17 nov.i'll blog what i can remember.
22 nov, saturday.went down to east coast with shermin mel and mengren for cycling.we met at 10am at junction 8 cos dear mel wanted to have kfc breakfast, but guess what, there was NO KFC BREAKFAST at that outlet.rah.ended up at subway and waited for mengren to end his piano lesson or something before heading to the far far east.haha shermin needed to do a painting for her art module, so we spent awhile on the bedok jetty while she attempted to draw coconut trees and ships and birds.in the end it turned out quite alright i think haha.did like 2 hours of cycling before going for dinner with shermin.
27 nov,thursday.went down to east coast again, this time to surprise soomin with a birthday picnic.really belated haha but oh well.it turned out to be only eugene, shaun, michelle and me together with her cousins.but it was all right i guess haha.an assortment of really random food.quite inpromptu, but it was fun.
28 nov,friday.yurong and shermin came over to hang out.shermin was supposed to be studying, but we all ended up watching the sound of music on LD.haha really old school.then we went to cell after that.
1 dec,monday.met up with the section to go night safari.wen hui and wen ting joined us too, so it was good.mmm saw lots and lots of animals.haha duh.the stuff there are absolute rip offs though.fancy 4 bucks for a bottle of coke?
3 dec,wednesday.SWIMMING!haha met shermin to go to yurong's place to use her pool.kat came and joined us too so it was cool.haven't been swimming for a really really really long time.tired after like 2 laps haha.and there was this bunch of guys playing like catching in the pool.so we were like nomads moving around the pool to get out of their way and vice versa.went to westmall to get stuff for dinner after that.haha made carbonara which kat said was really easy to make.hmmmm.we first cut out the fat from the bacon cos we thought it'll be healthier.then we realised that the pasta would be really dry cos the oil comes from the fat.and then we cracked an egg at the end and then cos it was too hot the egg cooked instead.haha oh well we always learn better by experience yes.
5 dec,friday.games day at bishan park.haha it was fun.we played captain's ball, then what's the time mr wolf.haha really cute game, used to play when i was a kid.haha so much for ultimate frisbee and other bunch of games.after that we went back tp corps and played hide and seek in the building.haha that was really fun, with the lights off and everything.
7 dec, sunday.yurong came and stayed over.stayed up at night to play risk and monopoly.haha yurong and i reached a treaty to have half the world each after we vanquished david from the map.yeah girls rock.(; yurong may be the ultimate general when it comes to battlefield, but was a total flop at real estate, haha.later we stayed up til really late in bed talking about alot of stuff, some random some really deep.haha but it was good really.don't worry, i'm a big girl, i'm okay.(:
YESTERDAY.met michelle to go down and sign up for driving, but realised i didn't bring my ic.haha really dumb.ended up going back to lot one and walking around awhile with her before fetching andrew from class.
TODAY.met up with yurong for breakfast.haha it was nearly a failed attempt number two, but i arrived like at 10.40 and she cabbed down.haha so we could finally have kfc breakfast.expensive waffles yeah haha.after that we went to the post office.haha did you know that the air mail sticker is not a stamp?haha i thought that it covered the postage costs la.anyway they're having a christmas offer, half price of 55cents for card mail to new york, so if you have anything to send quick do it now.yup later we went down to the driving centre so that i could register and sign up.so yeah everything went smoothly this time and then had to attend a compulsory briefing.that was entertaining haha.
went to yurong's place for awhile.i planned for worship while she cleaned the house and washed clothes.so domestic eh haha.she helped me with the planning after that and then we left for wisma for kettling.we reached at like 5.15 haha oops.but mel was there with ali and mat so it was still okay haha.stood there and ring ring ring the bell, gave out calendars and sang christmas songs.haha couldn't complete the 12 days of christmas song.when we were done we went walking abt taka for awhile, before heading to paragon for dinner.
haha there's alot more to these events than what i just wrote la, but it's like 1.40am and i'm half awake haha.so yeah maybe i'll elaborate more another day.just MAYBE.(:
