HAPPY BIRFDAY EE OLGAAAAAAAAAAA!

HEY i can't go online MSN. tsk. anyways, i came across a good poem yesterday. i think many times we know all the model answers to being a christian but hardly ever really resolve to live those answers when the crunch time comes.

when you think or speak or read or write,
when you sing or walk or seek delight,
to be kept from all wrong when at home or abroad,
live always as under the eyes of the Lord.

whateer you think, never think what you feel
you would blush i the presence of God to reveal;
whatever you speak in a whisper or clear,
say nothing you would not like Jesus to hear.

whatever you read, though the page may allure,
read nothing unless you are perfectly sure
consternation would not be seen in your look,
if God should say solemnly,"show me that book."

whatever you write, though in haste or in heed,
write nothing you would not like Jesus to read;
whatever you sing in the midst of your glees,
sing nothing His listening ear would displease.

wherever you go, never go where you'd fear
God's question being asked,"what doest thou here?"
turn away from pleasures you'd shrink from pursuing,
if God should look down and say,"what are you doing?"

EASIER SAID THAN DONE, but one by one i know i hafto give God the rooms of my heart, the stupid things i hold dear, the things that keep me away from Him.

TODAY'S ENCOURAGEMENT !
on sunday bJohnny mentioned one part in his message about being called a square because basically christians put God above all other things and that is manifested in their actions, decisions, and behavior. that was one thing i hate most, and often the thing that makes me do things i know i shouldn't -- being ridiculed not only verbally, but even in the hearts of my piers. i guess it never feels good, but i find comfort in Christ's example, and support in my family and church. being seperated is a simple, but major example of a christian's lifelong struggle in pleasing God. :)

on a less euphoric note, i failed not one but TWO tests. tess are not like, the tests in public schools. my tests are quite serious. so, uh, BOO HOOOOO ! OK LUH, i'll try to work harder. must get a dustpan or pail ready beside my table in case my head explodes and my brains spew out. GAH.

biscuits are good fiber foods that aid in the digestive process. there are also a wide variety of delicious biscuits in all flavours now. nuts are important health foods too, they contain zinc, i think. and, they are good for your body somehow.


the weather's lovely ain't it?

happy birfday estharrrrrr ! wheeeeeee.

first off, ANYBODY WITH PICS WHICH CONTAIN MY LOVELY FACE, PLEEEEESE SEND THEM TO M-E-E. SANKYOO.

it's blue day and WEDDING DAY! *cheers* congrats to heng and shan. I, on the other hand, had lots of fun too.

tim and i were helpers of sorts today so we hadta go early. bJohnny picked us up near our house and we drove off to the church. tim low discovered some national phenomenon regarding the price of choco-mints [-_-"]. once we reached everyone got busy in their own area of help. once again, i must say i was a receptionist LEH. keehee. people started strolling in, at first for the tea ceremony. we had lunch and then the main bulk of guests came for the wedding itself. the bride was SO pretty [to mee] even with her specs and i think she looked really honourable in the gown she wore. not ny old cheapo look-at-my-bare-body gown. HEY it takes lot of conviction to wear gown liddat okay. nowadays gowns are so off track. dono whether you'e a bride or a slut. LOL. just saying larrr. so my job was basically to say, hello! would you like to sign in the guestbook? ---------- smile smile stare point point. SIMPLE RIGHT? i still found it fun. :)

got meet my beloveds -- raye and sher. wah they all wear quite style leh. anyways, things have changed here and there now that i attend abm, but i really hope i can keep this friendship that i've held so dear for so long. i don't mind differences in church buildings or in behavior, cause if i did then i seriously wouldn't be a real FRIEND at all. and ... i'm blabbering on, mainly because i'm frustrated i guess.

some people in MBC miss me. SOME specific persons. i got a card from jemima too. i love jemy!

i hold no grudges nor barriers toward MBC people. i really just want to be real and all laid out towards them, smiley and happy, geniunely happy to see them. hopefully they do the same to me, my papa, my mama and tim. hopefully there is no coldness or childish attitudes between us, no unhelpful thoughts or ungodly judgements.

luv y'all. go to them abm webbie and teens webbie. ERM, ask timmy for the addys.

note to all : use mozilla lahhhh. only then can you use my taggy board. MUAHAHA. aiyah not purposely lah.

yesterday my mom and dad were sleeeeping so soundly and soon it was 8pm. i was HUNGARY. so i asked tim to help me COOK. *imagining aaall your shocked faces.* YES, i cooked, and i'm very very happy. all simple dishes lah, onion egg, sweet sour chicken, some leftover veg. TADAH! hmmm. :) i feel so housewifely.

sis yunli was talking about guys in church proposing, like bDan and bDarren. SUCH A FUNNY TOPIC LUH. seeing who's more romantic. tsk tsk.

AND note to everyone, i'm not hurried to start dating anybody anytime remotely soon.

muah muah blow blow~. go learn to cook! read matthew 21-28.

don't know why but i was sleepier than usual at church today. anyway, after church i didn't go for the badminton thing cause i was and still am SO TIRED. and i'm not enthusiastic about school at all. bad attitude, aggie. *smacks hand* :|

havah good week peepol. teens club kids, read matthew.

my face. MY FACE is like a pimple farm. *bursts into tears.*

YAY i changed my blogskin yet again. anyways, i shall rant about the WEDDING REHEARSAL. :) weddings are so exciting.

it was nice to see some MBC people. miss them quite alot. oh wait, i shall start from the beginning. bJohnny picked us up right downstairs of ur place [so nice right] and his family, the low family, my family [discluding mommy.], and yingliang went for dinner together. ate at some old coffeeshop near raye's place in jurong. food was nice but there were SO MANY FLIES. we went on to the church and soon everyone else came. the rehearsal went smoothly and calmly. :) the groom still needs to work on his vows, though. he was frowning and trying to dig them out of his brain while rehearsing, which was SO ENTERTAINING. some guys are singing a special too, so that'll be fun to watch. keeheeheee. i, on the other hand, will be busy smiling at people and handling their angpows. *grinnnns*

TEENS CLUB. there was that much-postponed quiz today. i proved useless to my team as i hardly remembered anything i read. SORRYYYY. it was boys against girls. yes, we won, all thanks to daphne. before the quiz, we had icebreakers and finally somebody came up with a decent icebreaker. hmmhmm :). after the quiz bJohnny shared a short lesson on one of the ten commandments -- keeping the sabbath. from there he drew out many biblical principles that christians would need in their everyday life, e.g. - putting God first, being patient with each other when ironing conflicts out, etc. he really examplifies his lessons BEFORE teaching them [in his daily life] and bases everything on bible principles instead of personal opinions, so not only was it easy to understand what he was saying because he had already demonstrated it to us in time past, but i also felt more sure about what i was learning because it came from God's book itself. one point i noted we miss in many aspects of dealing with people is the balance of patience, love, respect, and the truth. many a time we swing to the extreme and thump people down when it's not necessary nor helpful. useful stuff, huh!

on a lighter note, i have a mud mask on now because my face is a horrid mess and I DONLIKE. :( all you people who have good skin, BE SO THANKFUL OHKAY!

hughug. see yah. ~

LOOOK atall the cards i've collected! it'c sool reading cards from like, 2001. :) jieyi has sent me the most written material and isa has sent me the most creative cards. AWW. we should make this a tradition okayy! the wongsters gave me cute stuff too. joel once ave me a card in the shape of a TANK. so power huh. also got cards from melody, my cousin, crystal, samantha, eliz teo, chonglong, grace, joanne, sher and raye, my aunt, and so many more. THANKYOO & muahh.

now i'm gonna be known as the card freak. QWENCHANA! :D

AUNTY JANET gave me stuff again! :) PJs and a nice bright yellow kaftan-like blouse, which I LIKE. now i'm into yellow. it's such a hopeful color. and when i wear yellow i will think of aunty janet. *winks*

tooday bJohnny preached about seperation from worldly things, and emphasized on not only seperating, but also doing the things only christians can do, such as growing and pressing forward for Christ. next he preached about evangelizing and how much people need the gospel, how it is imperative that we witness to those around us and will be held responsible for their salvations.

had lunch with a bunch of abm-ers near my place [yay.] and two or three people asked my where i got my clothes from and said, " nice.." *jumps up and down in crazy delight.* was trying to control my cough the whole day so i couldn't go out with any of my dear friends who wanted to after lunch. :( another week, huns.

ARGH, here comes another week of schooooool. hope this week will be a good one. hope my cough vanishes like it never even existed. hope to see my two buddies. i needta get some good shoes and boleros.

Bow The Knee

There are moments on our journey following the Lord
where God illumines every step we take
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us
as we try to understand each move He makes
When the path grows dim
and our questions have no answers turn to him

Chorus
Bow the Knee
Trust the heart of your father
When the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the Knee
lift your eyes towards Heaven
and believe the One who holds eternity
and when you don't understand, the purpose of his plan
in the presence of the king Bow the Knee

Verse 2
There are days when clouds surround us and the rain begins to fall
the cold and lonely winds wont cease to blow
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel
We are tempted to believe God does not know
when the storms arise, don't forget we live by faith and not by sight

Chorus
Bow the Knee
Trust the heart of your father
When the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the Knee
lift your eyes towards Heaven
and believe the One who holds eternity
and when you don't understand, the purpose of his plan
in the presence of the king Bow the Knee

woke up quite late today. i mean, it's a saturday, and i'm sick. gimme a break. HEE. i seriously appreciate my saturdays now. i long for them for the entire week. anyways, i woke up at around 9 and lazed about until 9.30. rushed to make pancakes and eat and go for teens club. there wasn't any quiz at teens club today [again] cause bJohnny understood that we are FORGETFUL, LAZY TEENAGERS. it's postponed to next week. :) jieyi was late and jacob wanted to play that math game using uno cards. i tell you, call me fussy or whatever, but when i dowan to play, I DOWAN TO PLAY. so i made ABIT of noise and he came up with another game -- the qing wah one. EH, that's not an icebreaker lah. in the end we played cherades, and agnes is satisfied. i even named my group SUPERGIRLS! :D bJohnny's message was on having a vision and a plan and sticking with it [pertaining to the year]. some of us had lunch at sembawang and went HOMEsweeeethome. i coughed my way home like a mad woman, excessive saliva and all. what to do? now i'm having the ITCHY COUGH. i hate the itchy cough ! :( not sure if i can go buy clothes for the wedding with jieyi tomorroh without spraying saliva on people. AAaaAAahhh. :(

came home and tried to handwash some clothes in the bathroom sink. [don't laugh at the mental picture of housewifely agnes. it's character ohkay!] in the end the sink plug got jammed and i had to call my daddy/plumber. in the end end end he had to dismental the pipes beneath the sink and PIAK all this yucky black water sprayed onto his face. we soon found out that my granmama washes her hair in the SINK [???!] and all her hair clogged the pipes up. SO, i didn't feel so bad after that as it wasn't really my fault the sink is dysfunctional AND i helped discover the clog that, if left alone, would have become a disaster.

still so sorry about the yucky water, daddy. i would have totally freaked out and washed my face i alcohol if that happened to me.

i can't find a decent blogskin. i don't really like this one anymore. GRR.

last night granny didn't sleep much and her arm was swollen. today she woke up and told me she didn't wanna go for dialysis cause she was really giddy. i told her her blood would get real toxic if she didn't go and she'd feel worse, so in the end she got up, bathed, and went. she was really wobbly so i had to take care of her while she took her bath. i grabed my schoolwork, took a stool, and sat outside the bathroom ready to rescue her in case she fell.
anyway, at first i was quite, like, "HAIYAH" about it all, the taking-care-of-grandparent, being servant thing. i wasn't happy about how all those self centered kids my age out there didn't needta give a thought about their grandparents and detested them and here i was mopping up her mess and changing her daipers. then i remembered that i could be considered blessed. i didn't have to bathe her, feed her, or clean out any grosse wounds. she could still walk, talk, and even joke. God help me and my bad attitudes. right now granny is down to skin, bone, and some fats in selective areas. her legs are like JUST BONES and i can only wonder how she balances all her weight on them. was thinking about how she had been admitted to hospital more than 4, 5 times and still made it out alive and kicking. more than that, she has bee going for dialysis for more than 14 years. dialysis is freaky. huge needles and lots of blood and pumps and machines.

i think granny is a real fighter. :)

i feel SOOOH sick and i hate it. my throat is, like, like, PAINFUL. ah, everyone's had the flu before so i see no need to describe the feeling. :\ took half day MC [priviledge of hmschooling :) ] and knocked off for two hours or so. SOSAD. :( somebody send me a get well card? ecard? sms? TAG?

everyone, APPRECIATE YER HEALTH. tsk.
i miss raycher and shermaeenn. i gave them power mugs for christmas. POWERmugs! cool huh. :)

ever since i started going to ABM i've been trying [my best] to keep in contact with raye and sher [but it's really hard. :( ] on the saturday of the christmas teens club thing both raye and i were SO glad she could come. before i told raye about the special teens club i gave it a good thought, cause i knew if she came people could fom stupid ideas in their heads [naturally, but sadly.] i even asked bJohnny if it would be okay for her to come. there wasn't anything on on that saturday and i thought it would be nice to meet and have some much needed Word time together. a few days later i got comments like, wah, trying to drag her to ABM oso ah? i really really know all that crap was said jokingly, and so i didn't get mad or anything. [which would have been really rash and childish.] anyway, i heard that comment or simiar ones a few times more, again probably/hopefully jokingly.

so, just to clarify. winning people over to ambasador baptist mission is not my intention at all. those comments are not benificial, insensitive [given the situation], and plain stupid because it sounds like people are more worried about raye stepping foot into the abm church building than her spiritual growth. but don't worry, all you who said those things ignorantly. i'm not mad at all. i guess i've probably said stupid things like that more than once. *winks*

uh, thank you for your time. keep praying for MBC and ABM. blur also just pray. :)

birthday dinner with dear aunty janet! people present : my family, bJohnny's family, and of course, aunty janet's family [including her fluff of a dog] i was sitting in the middle of two tansters so i had a fun time making them eat stuff and acting all maternal, e.g. : joanna, eat more veg. veg is good for you. jireh do you want more seaweed? meat? okay, yes the meat is very nice. *smile smile like real* muahaha. it was cute to see tim low all caring towards his mommy and PAYING THE BILL. and it was FUNNY to see him order the food. he was like, keying in all the orders onto his phone [??] and reciting them to this intimdating zhi cha aunty. cheers to tim and his nice side.

we actually wanted to eat at some place that turned out to be really crowded, and we met the wongsters and ongsters there coincidentally. they were leaving cause it was too crowded. so we left too, but not with them, cause they drove off so quickly we didn't even get to say bye or anything [??] ANYWAYS, in the end we went to a zhi cha stall near my ol' place in khatib, which is right beside a NTUC outlet. so logically, we went for a walk at NTUC after stuffing ourselves full. pics for yooo...

EEYER. that timmy totally bruised my face today! we were like playing with this piece of paper and timmy was filming it [for whatever reason] and then i was bending down to pick up the paper when POW the camera bashed into my, like eye and brow bone. then i was like cupping half my face and yelling and timmy was like u ok anot u ok anot? in a super calm tone. EH! I'M IN PAIN, MISTER. grr. in the end he didn't wanna say sorry SINCERELY. nevermind. i guess this is just payback for some really nasty thing i did to timmy in time past. FINEFINE.

my face is twitching now.

tomorroh's revival meeting will start at 4. as of now sher's going! *happyhappyface* praying for a good attendance and most of all, opened hearts.

suddenly that sounds grosse. OPENED hearts. eek.

HELLO PEEPOL in MBC: don't forget me.

getting back to my running schedule, aka running whenever i feel like it! better than not running at all right? besides, it's RAINY. i love that excuse.

newsFLASHY: i'm gonna be a receptionist at chai heng and felicia's wedddding. *big smile* great reason to doll up and overdress. YAY. :) raye, i can hear you in my brain going, blah blah wear so nice for whad huh? competing with the bride ah! HUH?
MISS YOOOO. you and your constant misplacement of valuables like HPs. TSKKK.

prayer meeting tonite. and happy birthday timlow. YOU'RE SO OLDD! bwahahaa.

DOG OUTINGGGG-tingg-ting-ting. [echo lah. tsk] it was fun and funny because i brought my BRANNY there to drool all over everyone and be deemed useless. NOLAH, he was okay. he met wally [chaiheng's dog] and lucky [jacob's dog] WHO WORE THE SHIRT I PAINTED FOR HER [last christmas?] AND TOTALLY LOVED IT [until the sun got so blazing hot and she was about to die of a heatstroke. :|] note: she looked so cute in it even wally [who is neutered] was interested in her OHKAYY. so i joined everyone else to play frisbee and rounders while kind aunty Janet took good care of bran [to lucky's dismay, for she utterly abhors bran and wally]. so aunty Janet supplied water generously to bran and he supplied it to the grass or whatever he deemed fit to bestow his pee upon. after running and playing and crashing into timlow [his bad okay.] while chasing after some orange disk, and after being chewed up by ants while trying to bat a ball , we went to eat POPIAH at sis. weichern's place. popiah <-- one of my favouritte foods FYI. well, i went to send bran back home first [thanks to isa for the transport!] because i was afraid he'd poop or do some idiotic thing on sis. weichern's patio. i was also afraid he'd die of exhaustion. after sending him home i went over for lunch and played that game everyone loves with the kids, throw the raisin and catch it in your mouth or drop it, blow and try again! :) i also stuck raisins on my teeth so i look bohgey and THERE ARE PHOTOS! sometimes i amaze myself, how stupid i can be. went home and took a gooood nap.

AND SCHOOL STARTED TOODAY. *slow motion 'noooo' with spastic face* i resolve to do better than i did last year. MUST!

smile and be kind to animals. AND, gimme dog-outing photos if you have any!

i drew this yesterday! and it's my best so far. :) i wish i could do this as a job. it's so fun.

this was when the renovation was going on outside our house and we fled to the hill with bran.

SUPPOSED TO PLAY BADMINTON TODAY. tsk. ah, in the end there weren't many people so it was cancelled. hopefully tomorroh's dog outing still goes on. [DOG OUTING = outing for all dogs, dog owners, and dog lovers.]

SO, watchnite was nice and cozy. the recap humour was pure lameness but it's okay [given the time available to prepare it]. tim and i went early to set up some stuff and i helped isa chop stuff up for the salad [prawn and avacado lehh] which got my white shirt stained with green spots on the most prominent places [aiyahh!]. people came, we had dinner, played des' expressive icebreakers, listened to the Word, prayed and celebrated joanna's birthday before counting down. sweet huh. :) hellllo 2007. note: this is my first watchnite away from my buddies and in ABM. AW. :|

aunty janet bought me four pairs of ear rings, AW. her birthday's on the 7th so i made her a card. wish her if you can. =)

tag, people. TAG ANYTHING. ah so desperate..
