Dedicated to 4e1 2006

I really thank God for putting me in tanglin sec, from 1b,2e2, 3e1 to 4e1. God has seen me thru these 4 yrs! And i must say that i truly enjoyed myself in Tanglin. All classes have been a blessing to me. The people in 4e1, both teachers and students, all have different characters which are rather interesting. God has placed u ppl in my life and of course, you will all be part of my memory. I will never forget the moments we spent together. sorry for the times if u felt that i was being mean or unfriendly. But i really enjoyed myself in 4e1!

yesterday was a memorable day for us..started the day off by taking lots of pics..to playing 1 hr of netball..to taking more pics again.. went out with some 4e1 peeps to eat at ginza (nice family lunch) haha..then we went bowling! wow..its been ages since i last bowled..and we had this mini competition whereby the MIGHTY gals team vs the JAID team..haha..the gals won the 2nd game! great fellowship we had..thanks!

In the night, it was time for our grad ceremony..more pics..plus party! had fun with the sparklers and singing..plus pizza..and MORE photo taking..guess we will take EVEn more during grad nite! cant wait to see all of u dress up smartly and cool.

oh ya.. yf today was a reminder to me..thru the singing and sharing..i guess i've learnt abt God putting us thru times of difficulty and sticky situations with people, that allows us to be molded by God. If not, how do we actually see our true self? and the bad side of ourself too? Most of the time, we blame ppl and think we are always right..and being angry at others when it is actually not their fault...God knows what trouble i'm facing and i am praying for His grace and mercy that i may be able to handle the situation well.

Promised Strength

Heya ppl! there goes the last wk of sch..just like that..im gonna miss sec sch life! anyway, this week was rather fun and nice! i decided to let the class write messages to me thru this diary..and its encouraging to read the msgs. today, was extremely nice and fun! sq and i decided to stay back in sch for the ERP(exam revison program i think) which starts at arnd 6 but i think studying is still as normal as no teachers came down..we stayed in the library until arnd 5..its was rather empty..but the atmosphere was nice..i realised i didnt know what my sch library actually had! lots of articles pasted on the walls..and i viewed all of them..after that..we went to eat dinner..and came back to the canteen to be with marlene and huiyu. they were studying too! after abt an hr..we decided to play ball! we played captains ball..followed by penalty kick soccer..so fun man! we played until the sky turned dark! then continued studying..

tml is gonna be exciting and cool too..taking pics and stuff..having fun!

just read daily bread..was encouraged by the passage especially some sentences

Understand you can always find strength in Christ
God has a plan for every single part of your lives
That might be hard to understand in your troubled times ( totally relevant)

I have learnt that i can count on God's promises though i may not be healed completely in this life, with painful past. He gives power to the weak and increases their strength! Move forward..don't dwell on the past! :)

World Trade Centre

Yesterday, i decided to watch world trade centre..so my mum and I went to west mall to catch the 2 hr long movie. There weren't many ppl..i guess due to exam period..yup..through the show..i saw how the lives of the americans were affected..and how 2 policemen trapped under 20 ft of rubble, struggled to keep themselves alive..that part was rather crucial..and it was sad to see how the ppl actually cried for their loved ones..and saw how a man felt the calling of God to go on the search for those trapped underneath..

this week passed fast! we gt back our overall scores and l1 R5..i have to thank God that i accpeted them..like missing by one mark to get to the next grade..its makes me feel a little upset..but i guess God had a reason behind that. :) next week on monday and tue will be tough..have mock exams which ranges from 3-4 papers a day?! anyway, just one more week, i would be out of sch! graduating ceremony in the hall on 13 oct..last day for all graduating classes..how fast!

And 3 weeks to olvl written papers! but coming paper is bio pract on 17 oct..
It will all be over on 17 NOV! wheee! (",)

How time passes..

Heya! i'm back after so long! 2 weeks of prelims have just passed like that! thank God for seeing me thru this 2 weeks..left one more paper..bio prac..sitting for papers after papers..and of course some which i felt rather discouraged..but i prayed that i will receive whatever results that come.
next up is o lvls! can't wait for it to be over.

on thursday, my sch had this performance at sp..some of my classmates decided to go even though we had chinese paper the next day..we had fun..it was a great show! and yesterday, went out with sq,jess and jer to sakae for the buffet! we had fun again! haha..and the roxy craze we had, was like totally cool!

This coming week would be crucial..receiving the results..and i will leave it to God..He has His plans for me..till then..God bless ! :)

here comes the 'holidays'

it's september already! one week left to prelims! oh well, yesterday was totally fun and cool. had teacher's day celebration..even though my class didnt get to perform on stage, we decided to perform in our class for mrs koh..and once again, she cried. we sang "at the beginning", a rather nice song. after that, i rushed home to change to meet jer,jes and sq for a movie at suntec! we caught the movie "Love-wrecked". the theatre was like empty..only a few ppl. sq and i ate popcorn. after the movie, we headed towards pastamania! and we 4 shared a BUDDY meal..and we were still full despite sharing. we started to walk back towards city hall mrt..but went to raffles city first for our ben and jerry's ice cream. we kept eating today..dont know why. :) today was totally nice for me as i gt to relax just before exams..the word we kept using yesterday was "totally".

Praying hard that everything would be fine..hey rachel and jasmine, we can do this together! remember to do our best, God will do the rest!

A series of exciting events.

today was rather an exciting day..but only after school. but anyway, jessica sq and i stayed back at the library to touch up on the BIG heart! the library was cool..only librarians were there..and we had like the big space to do..we did until abt 5.30? then jessica and i went out of sch..it was already drizzling already..and here comes the series of excting events..we were at the traffic light..waiting to cross..we started singing "at the beginning" as we were trying to memorise the song for tml..and then..we crossed the road..and it started to rain so heavily! it was rather funny as we were stuck at one part of the song..but as we were running to the busstop..jessica started singing out and we suddenly knew the lyrics..hha..and we were running like mad ppl..next thing..we gt up this bus which was quite packed..and mrs zamree was there too beside both of us..in the middle on the journey, after one busstop, the driver forgot to close the back door..and i was right there! but then a lady was in front of me standing right at the door..the worse thing was it was raining and i was standing at an uncomfortable position as if i were to move i may knock the lady and she might fall out..which is super exciting. first time in my life, standing near an opened bus door. jessica and i had fun on the bus..(: but thank God for the safety especially for that lady who was one of our sch's sci lab worker..

tml is gonna be exciting for our class! can't wait..i hope we dont screw up on stage! but i have faith in u people!

Yf !

Yf today was wonderful! 17 people came! like after so long, finally the attendance was such an encouragement today! the yfers had dinner together at jec..and after that we took neoprints! like after so long, we gt to take neoprints..and everyone squeezed into the small station and there was like sth weird abt the machine..we were able to take so many photos and don't know when it would stop..so we kept posing and laughing..(:

Yesterday, my last day as SC in tanglin..i will never forget the moments spent as an sc! thank God for his will and his guidance..even though i gt to join only this yr..i had learnt a lot and made cool frens!

Teacher's day is coming..and it is going to be exciting for my class. (: 4e1..GOGOGO!

Stressful periods coming up, but God never fails to look after us.

heya ppl! its been long since my last post! well, i have been busy the past few weeks, tests after tests..but i know its for our own good. can tell from other people's blog that they are feeling the stress already..prelims..olvls..but stay calm people..don't worry too much..everything will be over soon. It's been wonderful for the past 4 weeks, on sundays..studying with jasmine in church..in the media room with all the computers which are rather distracting..and the comfy sofa..(",) For the past one mth..i've been hooked to this korean show..and its my first korean show which i love so much and enjoyed(as i don't really like korean shows-storyline always the same) but the particular korean show (Save the last dance for me) is super duper gd..story line and cast are great! so..i have been watching on u tube..since this drama only show twice a week..

I'm quite shocked by how fast time passed this year..like soo fast..and tml will be my last time saying the pledge and last tue wias the last time doing register..kind of sad. we will be returning to class to sit with our classmates.

An encouragement to those who are feeling down or sad or sick of everything - Life is not a bed of roses, we do face troubles at times and have good times too. But its our perspective, look on the bright side and learn from your failures..there is a purpose why God brings trials in our life..which is a key to our success at the end. so, till then, accept what comes to u and be contented and happy (:

Happy 41st birthday Singapore!

Happy Birthday Singapore! today has been a superb day! had lot of fun! anyway, God has really blessed Singapore in many ways. A land of peace and harmony! I feel fortunate to be born here. :) Today, went for field day at west spring sec, had a great time with church frens, before heading towards the stadium for NDP! I love NDPs, especially the goodie bags. Ian and kee swee had blue tix and they hoped to exchange with ppl over there since my mum and i had green tix. God answered our prayer and they were able to persuade two ladies before my mum and i reached there. yup, and we were hoping that we gt back seats, in the end we had super front seats, but it was a good thing too! we were sooo close to the field. and when goodies were sent flying up high, we gt them! we were cool too at the ndp! haha..i started to like this year's theme song! gt to see tanglin sch teachers and frens! Fire works were superb but last year better. this year not so much.



Last two pics are the performers of tanglin sec at the ndp with me!

Touching story

This story was shared by Aunty Maryanne to Rachel, Jasmine and I last sunday during ss class..and i think it touched not only me but the rest..and thank you rachel for typing it out! haha :)

it's a true story , about this American youngster who was a professional swimmer. his christian friend one day sat down with him to have a talk about the christian faith. after trying hard to get his swimmer friend to listen to what he had to say about God, he prayed with him and left.whatever his friend said didn't impress or make an impact on him at all. he just went to bed that night, trying to forget his conversation with his friend. true enough, by the next morning, he had already forgotten about the meeting.he went for his weekly swim at this indoor swimming pool. the lighting that day wasn't as normal, and he could hardly see through the dark pool. it didn't bother him that much, so he climbed the ladder up to the diving board. just as he had practised, he lifted both arms up at 90 degrees at each side and was preparing to jump when all of sudden the lights went off. across the building, he saw a reflection of himself, in the position of Jesus Christ on the cross.he obviously got the shock of his life and moved backwards, sitting down on the diving board. when the lights were finally on, he cried... he had realised that the pool had been emptied. there, he prayed to receive Christ as his personal Saviour and thanked God for his friend who evangelised to him.God had spared the life of this swimmer. God had purposed for his friend to tell him about God. the friend did make a difference in the swimmer's life afterall...

olevel oral eng is next fri! so fast! pray for me. (: and i guess national day is gng to be fun too cos im gng for ndp!

God's promise.

heyaa! im back to update after so long! anyway, its goodbyes to the parties of the month..had so many bday parties this month..had loads of fun! and now i can feel the pressure of the prelims and olevels..well, it has to come one day..i can't avoid it..but then, i thank God for being there, even when i dont get expected results in class tests..God reminds me that there is a purpose for what has happened..and grades are just earthly treasures. why do people study so hard? i always come across this qns during sunday sch class..and the gals will say..to work for a good job in the future..which means getting the pay u long for. but is that what God wants me to be..studying so hard until i spend less time with him? i have always believed that if we honor God, He will honor us back. so i have no worries.! i do my best, God will do the rest :)

this week, all the newly selected scs have joined us to sit in the parade sq! now there's like so many scs! and today, something rather unplesant happen in my class. my classmate gt angry with my teacher but he is known to be someone who can't control his anger..and he started criticising my tcher..i tink my tcher cldn't take it anymore..and she did broke down and was very disappointed in my classmate..well, after some communication, i really hope that this classmate of mine has learnt how to deal things calmly and not to challenge those above him. God uses this incident to teach me some points..

last saturday, yf showcased the video on the cross in China..i think this video has inspired me to want to share the good news with my frens!

101 Dalmations post.

Happy birthday jessica!
this post wld not be on dogs..its just the title. :) anyway, for the past two weeks, it has been great! even thought there were a few upsets on stuff that u wld not think off.hhaa.What has happened over the last 2 weeks? Anyway, world cup is over(though i dont watch) but what is over is the wimbledon tennis! so fast time flies.. for wimbledon grand slam, i wanted Justine henin hardenne and Rafael Nadal to win so much! they were the winners of Roland Garros! yup..everything went well..they went to the final..well, justine has won all 3 grand slams except wimbledon..and i was hoping so much that she wld win..she was also playing so much better than her opponent in the finals..yet she lost..i know its just a match..nth much..maybe God wanted her to win another time:) And i can't believe i cried for her, cos she will always be the best player in my heart! Nadal lost to federer..but im sure he will win him one day!
oh ya..yesterday was jessica's birthday party! she invited almost the same ppl i invited. yup..and we, the gals had so much fun..eating, swimming (we even had relays), tennis, play station, dog and bone! we had lots of fun during the swimming session..and bbq food was superb! ice cream cake too! yum yum! I thank God for yesterday, as i enjoyed myself alot!
well, since all the tennis, world cup thingy is over..its time to focus on my work!

My 100th post!

I can't believe this is my hundredth post! God has sustained this blog for almost 2 years..all praise to Him! this post will be short. yesterday..the first day of sch..mmm..wasn't too bad..a little tired. But at night i gt to catch Silent Hill with gwyneth and jasmine..it was so unexpected.! haha..my FIRST NC-16 movie! Jasmine's too! haha..and i had to show my ez-link card both at the ticket counter and b4 entering the theatre..haha..this shows i don't look like one 16 yr old girl. :) but it was rather funny that the show was played in total darkness..haha..the screen was black but we could hear the conversation! after like a few mins..someone finally went out to tell the person in charge. but it was a cool movie..although i was totally confused! haha..

Church camp 2006.

I was looking forward to another church camp..even though there wasn't many youths gng. at least i had my my ss mates with me. God has been gd to me..especially through this camp. He sustained me, not allowing me to be sick, and for journey merices wherever we went.
I left on sunday, after church with a few other families. Im glad that i went for this camp, i gt to play the guitar during the meetings so that i could improve(as i was actually struggling before). It was a different experience. The messages were based on Psalms. I think the last message struck me most as Prof. Harding kept emphasising about the Lord and Jesus. I missed the second aand third msg as i had to help out at the children's section. Well, i gt to learn new things over at the children's side too. The children were so excited to learn from the speaker.
things i got to do over there during free time: swimming, captains ball,taking pics,sleeping, watching tv, table tennis, enjoying the breeze of the sea,playground,eating even to playing old maid. :) i learnt to be a hairdresser there too! i had to straighten jolynn's hair everyday! haha..that was fun. We even stayed up late at night to watch football which i dont in Singapore! it was tiring though, but we still made it to devotions the next morning!
time passes so fast..sch's starting in two days time!!

Third week of holis gone..

the third week of holis have passed so quickly! class chalet is over..was an enjoyable one! lit seminar is over..i gt to catch She's the man with sq, jer and bailu..! anyway, today some of the scs sent chialynn off..she's gng away..we gt her a gift..! we went round the airport taking pics as if we were tourists..even in the mrt! haha..we had a fun time! church camp is up next! can't wait!

A memorable week!

the second week of the June holidays have not ended but it has already left a memory in me! from mon to wed(5-7) was SC camp! I was totally looking forward to my first SC camp! i knew it would be fun! And it was indeed fun! I totally enjoyed myself. it was cheers and cheers..games after games..my team was PASSION! i had seri as my asst. My grp members was really enthu and fun ppl! im thankful to them for what they had done for the grp! I thank God for meeting so many people at camp too! Everyone seemed to enjoy the camp..! thanks to the camp comm for organising such a camp! i look forward to the next sc camp! on wed the last day of camp..i had to rush home to prepare for my birthday party! asked yining to follow me to giant to get stuff before meeting the rest at jurong mrt. the party was fun filled with lots of food and joy! Thanks all for the presents and ur presence! we played bingo, UNO stacko, swings, block catching and DOG and bone! i think that we were very loud..even my mom heard us from upstairs while playing Dog and BOne. I thank God for sustaining me for 16 years on earth! The greatest Gift above all is of course Jesus! He gave me my salvation!

Went sakae at marina today! here's some pics

Start of the June holidays!

Time passes so fast! Chinese O levels are over and my eng oral too. Well, i have left my chinese papers in God's hands and it is His will for what happens next. I'm given holiday hw again..at first there wasnt much, but then it came piling up as some tchers gave more..im really packed during this holis. This week would be INE camp for sec 2s from wed to fri.I pray that i will be able to handle my grp. And next week, SC camp !!. For the third week, class chalet and lit course. Last week....CHURCH CAMP in MALAYSIA! Well, this shows that i have to finish my hw quickly. Acutally i was deciding whether to go for church camp..but I decided to go even though it was o level's year. Im sure God will bless me through this camp. Though midyr results werent satisfying, I'm sure God has His reasons. So its time to get back on track and study! This month's YF is gonna be exciting! can't wait!

Is my faith strong?

well, exams are over..but its time to face the results..i guess it the time of testing of my faith. I do know that whatever happens, gd or bad, God has a purpose. Thats why i always pray that i will accept whatever comes to me. Sometimes, i neglect the fact that i do not ask for His Will but i ask Him to make everything well for me. Today we have gotten back some papers..and im starting to feel guilty abt not trusting God. Wheni gt back some papers..i wondered why God gave me that grade..and i start to question Him. And the whole day, i have been thinking even as i went to watch a movie today. I have been asking myself, have i trusted God enough? Am i giving everything into his hands or am im just bearing the burden on myself.
That is why i decided to blog, i think I feel better. I guess I shld leave everything to God. He has His plans for me.And i know He will not fail me because He is God. :)

Life is real.

I am somehow faced with this fear of meeting this teacher. After an incident, i dread going for her lessons..and i always felt scared before the lessons. I feel that i think too much at times. But sometimes her words discourage me and im starting to dislike the subject.Its like i put in effort into my work, and she doubts me, she feels i don't understand or call it acting that i am doing my work. In this time, i really asked God for help..I can't be hiding from her all the time. I need to face up to this problem.I must show her that I am capable of doing things. That's why i ask God for mercy that i may go through her lessons normally like other lessons.As I read the daily bread today, I was reminded abt this, facing up to life's difficulties may be afrightening experience. But when we trust God and draw close to Him, we'll exprerience real deliverance. Therefore, when troubles call on you, call on God. I pray that this would be an encouragement not only to me but others who are facing difficulties too! :)

He Lives!

Christ is risen! Today is a great day! Christ died for our sins and he rose on the third day which is a sunday. Our sins are forgiven because of God's love. He sent His son to die for us. Today, there was easter sunrise service at macritche reservior. we had to be there at 6.30 am! Jasmine and i stayed over at jolynn house..so near to the place. The scenary was great..but there were lots of insects.
Yesterday, the YF showcased an easter outreach video:A documentary on the DaVinci Code. It is used to show what are the lies in the bk! My advice, dont believe what's in the bk! It is filled with lies! There's a book to counter the davinci code, as the researchers has gathered evidence to counter that bk! I haven read that bk, but after watching the documentary, i can somehow depict what is wrtten in it. Many new frens came yesterday!
During the week, there was napfa test, chinese oral, and preparation for the achievers day. yup, thank God for this week, and i oray that this week would be a blessed one. Exams are coming..pray for me!
