THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS LIKE RIDING UP A HILL ON A BICYCLE WITHOUT BREAKS. so don't stop pedaling! so so so sooo many people have slid down and gone away. AZA. let's not forget what nailed Christ to the cross -- sin. how can we then go back to it? i remind you, you remind me. :)

granny went to church today! GAH, she was so happy. and my card business thing is running again. maybe it's seasonal. :) i have resolved to save the money this time. I WILLL. there is one thing bugging me though, that is that everyone says i'm undercharging and thinks i don't know the art of making money. I DO LAH I DOO i'm just kind and can't look in the face of a friend i'm unjustly sucking money out of SOO, i will raise the prices, but only for working peepol. DEAL? yesss. :D

i want to be more flexible. FLEKSIBOLLL !

going crazy in a cab.

Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

i wanted to msg this verse out yesterday but it was too long. :) read it on wednesday morning in the bible and then i came across it again while i was reading a book titled 'the hiding place' by corrie ten boom. qiao hor? :D i was very encourage by both the verses and the book.

the book's about this lady, corrie, and her family who helped hide jews and do many other things for them during the German occupation in holland. yes, all that suspensing, underground stuff like secret rooms and fake ID papers. the most heartwrenching part to me is when she and family were imprisoned after being caught. the book addresses so many common questions a christian in any kind of trial would ask. anyway, some of her closest family members died in prison but she lived through it all. (her accounts can be quite vivid.) i think she was in her sixties when she finally got out, and she, according to the wishes of her very close sister who died, told of the things she knew God put her through, and helped many, many people who had also been damaged by the war. she died on her 91st birthday.

and now all of a sudden i have thousands of topics for essays flying through my brain. i'll post them up if i ever do them. :)

TADAHHH~YAY this is my first successful painting of a human face! rejoice with me people. :) now i'm in the mood for painting. no, i didn't make this face up in my head. i copied it from a picture, and mind you it doesn't look alike ONE WEE BIT but who cares. HAHA. i beginner level lahhh.

AZA.
okay daphne! teddy bears. so exciting.


I PASSED MY FRENCH LAHHH ! =D

my bloggy is getting stagnant. AIYAH, there're so many things i wanna bloggabout but they always slip my mind. for one..
SUNDAY WAS SWEEET with my two buddy buddies. raye reported that she liked her gift so YIPPEE. we ate mos and joanne treated us to cookies, then we walked around and i offended a man-girl. =| accidentally! and, i got my boots from rachel. :) they fit okay! and i'll find times to wear them. tytyty.

tim's new number is --> 81680434
he got a new plan that's cheaper i think. the old one he was using actually belonged to my aunt. :)

i gotta letter from melodyyyy and i'll reply her as soon as i get stamps.

When life's burdens get so heavy
and it seems I'm all alone,
I cast my care on Jesus
and come boldly to His throne.
For I find His grace sufficient
when His promises I heed.
And His very life He sacrificed,
and He lives to intercede.

He is the Lord of lords, and when He speaks, winds and waves obey.
When Jesus whispers peace be still then darkness turns to day.
And as I'm trusting in my Saviour's Word, doubts and fears all cease.

And beneath the shelter of His wings I'm at rest, in perfect peace.

ANYONG. just came back from song practice, CC touring, and present buying. so fast and it's 5 oclock lah, boo. now i have to make many many cards but there's one problem-- i have no paper! i wanted to but some just now on the way back BUT i had no money. i'm very sad. i'm broker than ever. can one make cards out of toilet paper? *dumb smile*

pics from tooday, after our rapid shopping we sat down for a while and sher dared me eat some weird octopus sushi. come on, if u buy it for me, i'll eat it. but it felt weird in my mouth. :\

i buy ice chocolate you buy sushi because you are richer. oh yeah, there was this cool jap ice cream that i must try one day. it really made me drool.

yes this one i buy one. she took this photo while i was having a brain freeze. :P

did anyone see me brain freeze?

sher eating her lovely octopus.

like i said, i didn't like the feeling...

EEKEY piece of tentacle on my bagggg.

the present. it's simple but got alot of love in it okayy! hope raye likes it lah. =)

came across some verses today that made me think.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Proverbs 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
sometimes i really feel like i don't know why i'm doing things the that i am, especially when it's something falling in the gray catagory, like it's not right but justifiable. even when i'm doing the rightest of things, my motives are usually highly highly questionable. guess only God would know the real reason why we do things. come to think of it, it is really freaky to remember that Someone actually knows our every thought and action, not just because of the nose picking and butt scratching, but more so because of how hypocritical we can be. so, listen to your heart? [the ever so cliche lyrics we hear here and there] rrrright. listen to my heart and i'd end up with a seriously messed up life. no thank you.

the thought that came to mind when i read this one is funny.
Proverbs 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE ALL THE GOOD MEN? am i to become a miserable spinster? :(

i am so very sad right now because i've failed my french TWICE. must pass it this time man! FIGHTINGG.
yeah see that baby? that's how i look right now. like i'm about to barf on somebody. BLOOOOEAH.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

HOORAH a earned 2 bucks yesterday from a card. [no harm rejoicing over something small. :)] it's cool earning your own money and using it to make more money.

money is not the root of all evil, HULLO? it's the LOVE OF money. just saying..

thank God that:
-singapore has no real earthquakes or tsunamis or bomb blasts or typhoons. or tigers.
-we are all alive.
-granny is okay.
-the sick people got better.
-bro. bob could keep his job!
-more people are coming to church!
-i have hands to make cards. :)
-i got my spoiled mouse changed, finally.
etcetera etcetera etcetera.

I SO WANT DECEMBER TO COME because i like church camps in malaysia. :))

someone wanted a card for a three month anniversary.

tooney card.

mommy at her work place. we went there for the open house thing. to support her. haha. EVERYONE there [almost lah] knows i'm homeschooling, and you know lah, it's phenomenal to be a homeschooler in singapore. people wanna see if your IQ low, or if you're an introvert. but anyways, all my mom's colleagues there were mighty nice. :)

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Charity suffereth long,
and is kind;

charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own,
is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things,
believeth all things,
hopeth all things,
endureth all things.
Charity never faileth:
but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

this morning we learned about worrying from matthew 6, and leaving a legacy for the next generation from joshua 4. :) i wonder if i'll ever have kids. i doubt so, you know. *daydreaming*

ONCE AGAIN monday is just around the corner. the week just flies by once it's the weekend! eating leftovers of my dinner now, my parents cooked jap food ya! bento style, haha. everything either in batter or mayo! but now, they are lecturing timmy about something and i am bored.

=|

if church comes up with a drama club one day i'll join. aiyah, i'm still in daydreaming mode. lalalala..
oh yes, and i sold a card today! whoo~
AZA. FIGHTIIIING.

revising revelation 17-22 now. wah, yesterday wasn't a very pleasant day for me, but thank God it's today and i wanna make it a nice day! i will be good and kind.

my eyes are so puffy right now i don't know what to do with them. after teens club i gotta go visit my granma, cause she's been asking for me. she told my mom, tell agnes i become very skinny and sick then she will sure come one. haha.. she's actually alright lah. but anyway, it's only right to go. guess she misses her one and only roommate/kopi maker. :)

my tummy is serioulsy not feeling good, but i don't wanna make a big fuss about it at home. haha. i'm always telling tim to toughen up, so i have to do it myself. bleh. :|

wishlist add-on: i wanna punching bag. big one! MUAHAHA. what's the use of being fit if you don't know how to defend yourself?? *grins.*

Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

i think this was on saturday? sitting by the roadside having bubble tea. bryan didn't wanna take pics with us. [HMPH!] aiyoh i didn't know i was so white. wearing a stupid shirt that said, SWAT TEAM. hahaha..

bran made a bed out of my stinky shirt and some skirt he found on the floor. LOL.

the dog

and the bear

excellent news! [i feel very english today, haha.] i earned 16 bucks [WAHHHHH] from selling cards yesterdayyy! my aunty's very nice. :) shermaine and i are planning to rent a booth some day. waiting for her lor, she's so busy studying all that unreadable material. poor sher.

CUTE ATTACKKKKKK! saw this card somewhere on the net and tried making it. will make two more with a dog and a bear. :) haven't decided on the words yet, and i don't know if i should sell it or use it myself. right now i don't need it for any occasion, so if anyone wants is send me a msg! $2.oo because there's alot of cutting involved and the base card is gooood paper. metallic one leh. =)

prayer retreat ended on saturday. napped a little in the afternoon and sher called me to let me interrogate her about the convention thing. HAHA, in the end i went to meet her at sunplaza to see photos and eat and some guy called bryan came too. he's a typical homeschooler lah, a majority of homeschoolers behaves like him, not all, but alot. like to talk about themselves, things that sound cool, how much experience they have, how rebellious they are. was i like that? if yes, then i seriously apologise for probably boring everyone i know out and seeming very proud. i will try to be more down to earth and nice. :) anyways, it was nice meeting a new friend, i guess.

must work harrrd this week! i skipped some days last week [for valid reasons] AZAAAAAAAAA.

remember to read bible and pray. pray for uncle roland. tag prayer requests too, i am forgetful. =D

my face is in a bad state, but whatever lah. :( PRAYER RETREATTTT was nice but my knees hurt because we kneel to pray. i find the act of just praying and praying really good. somehow my voice trembles when i pray aloud only when there's so many people. anyhow, thank God for this prayer time. went there at 7, came home at 1, napped from 3-5 [i was supposed to be woken up my both daddy and timmy at 4 but somehow they BOTH forgot.] and i'll be going back to church later at 8 plus.

suddenly SO many people are sick. maybe it's the weather. :\
recently i've been arm wrestling with daddy. DUH i cannot win him, but i promised him i'd train and will definitely get it by the time he's 80. XD he let me use two hands but it's never fun cause i keep winning. go, arm muscles! i stupidly challenged him to see who can build a six pack [or a very flat tummy at least lah] by the END OF THE YEAR. HAHA so ambitious right? but i do good with competition. we'll see. my dad and i are very face conscious.

it's raining. rain drops look like they fall in needles, and sometimes threads, when it's heavy. :)

RANDOMphotos!

tim embarrassing isaiah. look at their hands! what a difference. this photo watches me as i do my work. sweeet huh. X)

people are painting my block and it's so weird cause one moment i'm studying and when i look out the window there's this worker right there. and i have no curtains so, well, i plugged in headphones and tried to concentrate on my work instead of their foreign singing. :/ up and down they scale my block. aiyoyo. can't dig my nose or anything, so conscious.

bran is still having diarrhea and i'm still cleaning up after him. may need to send him to the vet cause it's getting worse. now there's BLOOD. scary huh? it's happened before.

tim and my dad are super worn out by the convention thing for homeschoolers. today's the last day and my dad doesn't need to go anymore but tim's still there. doing some photo thing for them. :) heard my dear sher did well for the 400m! chuk ka heh yo! if i were there i'd have run too. and joined in B&W photography and art and story telling and whatever else there is that i'm good at. muahaha. next time ba. ART. tim said i would have aced it. *grins* i kept asking tim and my dad about the whole thing and the people there. apparently some students' behaviors... stand out, some in a good way and some in a badd way. will interrogate sher when she gets home and is done crashing. [sleeping]

eeeeeeee school now again bleh hais :| prayer retreat tonight right? aiyoh, if i don't stay over there's so much travelling to do. AND i have to forsake school for today and tomorrow. precious time.

Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

bran has diarrhea and I end up clearing it most of the time since tim's not home. -_-"
AZA. must do schoolwork well today. i'm so prone to wasting time. haha.

Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

hello monday. :) FIGHTING!

i find necklaces look nicer and last longer on my DESK where i hang them and gaze at them when i daydream. =) if i wear them, they tarnish or rust OR drop off my neck.

the cake daphne bought for teachers' day celebration. :)
HAVE A NICE TEACHERS' DAY, um, TEACHERS.

i'm having a headache. :| PRAY: that the specials will glorify God tomorrow, whatever the outcome, that people will trust in Christ, and that everyone will be encouraged!
