The dieter's prayer book

Borrowed this book from the library. Actually is not about our diet. But about our life. Saw some sentences which i needed to record down to remember them.

Food for thought:1.Let His strength be the strength of your heart.
2.With God's help, no temptation is unbearable or unbeatable.
3.Getting thin is not the key to getting happy.
4.People will fail you, but God is faithful forever.
5.For every fresh failure there is a fresher mercy.
6. Fill your life with - LIFE!

anyway. sunday went to new creation church with jasmine to check it out again..haa.
then 5th week of holis goes like that.

India Trip 2005 (17Nov-25Nov)

Truly, i really thank God that i was able to go for this trip. I have learnt a lot about India itself and the people. And through this trip, i have made new frens and also understand some people better. I loved every moment of the trip even the long journies! The food was great..did not suffer frm stomach pains. We visited Bangalore, Mysore and Ooty. I must say that Ooty is the best! the coolest of all.Cos i was in the blogging team, i had to write journal everyday. Anyway, shall write out what exactly happened Cos the program given to us was much different. Oh ya, the tour guide was really funny! He made the trip unforgetable.And i took lots of pics

Day 1: Reach school to take a bus to airport.I had a stomachache even b4 the trip! I was in pain and prayed hard that it would be over when i reached the airplane. And God answered it. I sat at the window seat with Bailu and Xing fang. Watched "must love dogs" cos i could not decide wad to watch.The food was good. When we touched down, we headed for the hotel and slept.

Day 2: We were told to wear sch u and blazer since we are visiting a school/ Everyone looked smart.The students at Kendriya Vidayala were friendly and they respected their teachers alot. We oso visited the Institude of Science but did not really understand what was happening there.ha.

Day 3: We travelled to Mysore in the morning.On the way, we visited this suggar making place.Really cool.We then visited this river place where people rode some cute boat. We proceeded to the temple and then to Maharaja palace! it was beautiful!In the night, we visited the musical fountain.

Day 4: We left the hotel early in the morning to go to Ooty! 6hr journey.quite fun!
When we reached there, we visited this tea factory.Quite interesting.I love the weather there. we had free time to take pics b4 dinner starts.Our tour guide made us play dog and bone in the cold weather.was fun!

Day 5:This was the day we had house riding! the house galloped super fast lo! my skirt was flying up! haa..after that We visited Lawrance High school. The sch looks so European. Met a korean girl.
The weather started to change, started to drizzle. We visited the highest peak in south India! very nice!We then went to botanic gardens and someshopping after that. And at night, we all went to the games room right downstairs to play! gt badminton, table tennis, basketball and boardgames like snake and ladders

Day 6: So sad, we left Ooty. Journey was 8hrs. Xing fang and i kepthearing MP3 songs..haa.. We stopped at Mysore to eat our vegetarian lunch.We went to this waterfall area..the sight was spectacular! Then by the time we reached bangalore it was dark! We ate at a cafe man! for the first time in india.

Day 7: We went to the IT park.So Singapore man the area.We headed for Jain International Residential for exchange program..i felt that this sch was the best out of the 3. We had shopping after that and ate KFC for dinner!!!

Day 8: We went to the space centre then the rest of the day was shopping!!!Had pizza for dinner b4 heading to airport! it was too gd! but did not manage to find my chocolates so did not spend all my money.haa..at the airport, i bought cookies lo..the plane flight was not too bad..was too sleepy la..

I really miss the whole trip! thanks to those who lent xing fang and I MP3 players so we weren't bored. And played games during the journies..like UNO.I really enjoyed myself.:)

At Singapore airport after the trip.

Reach out to Jesus

Hey gwyneth, i shall post part of the song since my fren did not come that day! So she will see! ha

Is your burden heavy as you bear it all alone?
Does the road you travel harbour danger yet unknown?
Are you growing weary
In the struggle of it all?
Jesus will help you when on His name you call.

Chorus:
He is always there, hearing every prayer.
Faithful and true;
Walking by our side,in His love we hide
All the day through.
When you get discourage,just remember what to do-
Reach out to Jesus, He's reaching out to you.

I guess i've learnt that this is one important issue being a christian..there are unsaved loved ones out there whom we need to reach out..i guessed i leant a lot from the message..to encourage ppl arnd me..firstly i have to drop the "blankey"..i have to continue reading God's word..and of course pray! Captain's ball was greeat!! "shoes" and "slippers" :)

when u want to waste food- think abt those who are less fortunate..

decided to post becos of wad i saw today.i guess God had actually send that person to tell me a message.It's my first time ever, i saw this happened. Went to eat dinner wif my bro at jurong...ya..had my vegetarian meal again..haha..the place was crowded but we managed to get a place where 3 ppl just finished..the were still food left on their table..wasted..but its normal to see that..however..wait..shall continue..i went to buy my food first..came back wif my food..then my bro went to buy his...the table was not cleared yet..so i ate..then suddenly a man arnd 50+ came to sit at the table...he was well dressed..but i was kind of scared..cos he did not even asked if there were ppl sitting here..really freaked out..but God allowed me to stay calm..i was wondering y he sat at the table...at that time when he sat down..i was actually looking at the leftovers..there was steamed egg..my fav..haa..i wish i could eat la..so wasted..still alot..at other meat..then many thoughts came to my mind la..ok..then the man suddenly took a spoon at the table and started eating the leftovers! this is the first time i ever saw this! it ever came across my mind..but did not actually think it wld happen! but i knew there was a message again from God..that poor ppl are around us..and we shld not waste food! then my bro came back..tink he quite shocked oso..but we remained normal la..just continue eating lo..i was tinking the guy really push aside his dignity..to just eat that little amount of food left on the table..to all out there..these ppl still exist in Singapore..

"One Fine Day"

Happy Birthday Vicky , Charisse!! Anyway, national day is coming! 3 days holiday! This week i have been reading the book "moments of Grace" when i reached to last story..it was just a short one..not really a story but was like a reminder to me from God. So i decided to share it here.

One fine day
I may never see tomorrow, there's no written guarantee,
And thingsthat happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, and i cannot change the past.
I have just the present moment, I must treat it my last.
I must use the moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
And be lost to me forever as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet.
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.
I must make this moment precious, for it will not come again.
And i can never be content with things that might have been,
Kind words I fail to say this day may ever be unsaid.
For I know not how short may be the path that lies ahead.
The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
And friendships that i fail to win may be never won.
I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,
And thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day.
I may never see tomorrow, but this moment is my own,
It's mine to use or cast aside;the choice is mine alone.
I hve just this precious moment in the sunlight of today,
Where the dawning of tomorrow meets the dusk of day.
