"And let us never slacken in doing good; for if we do not give up, we shall have our harvest in due time."

Week 1 of School Holidays Tuesday
Hello.
Friendship - the relationship between friends. It is so vulnerable. Takes a long time to build. Takes a really short time to break. It is constantly changing between 2 people. It is seldom stagnant.
Relationships between 2 people is always on the move. People drift. People come and people go. Oh how sad that is. At the same time, there is only 1 relationship that is constant. It is never-ending. He is always calling. He is always pursuing.
I must re-discover my love for relationships.

Week 1 Holidays Friday
Welcome back. Throw off your old self and be renewed in the Spirit.
I find a change within me. It seems like the energetic, enthusiastic, expressive me is back. Oh I so miss her!
I'm glad she's back.
Happier.
At the same time I feel burdened by the financial woes. Just like when I was in Architecture and felt so burdened by the financial woes like the expensive materials, the school fees etc. I must learn from my past. I must not let this pull me down. List my options and list the best and worst case scenario. Pray. Listen. It may not seem so bad.
HOMECOMING for the one who has been sleeping for the past 1 year or so. Welcome home.

I've signed up for 1 year couch potato membership
thanks to mIo TV free 1 year viewership.
My whole family has caught this bug. Serious. Ask the painting of the mask on the TV console. One year from now you would see me fat. My thighs would be as thick as those angsana trees you see on the roadside.
HAhA.

Inspired
One of the people I'm very inspired by is Bo Sanchez.
You can listen to him: here
He inspires me to use my God-given talents and gives me the courage to make a career out of it. He gives me affirmations to pursue my dreams and he wishes that my dreams may one day become reality.
I thank God for such wonderful, optimistic, God-fearing people.
I would like to testify to God's abundant graces.
On 26 June 2008, as I was returning home and crossing the overhead bridge and totally lost in my thoughts, I was suddenly gripped by a strong sense of fulfillment. I was thinking about my road ahead - as an upcoming Fine Arts student in Singapore, when I was touched by the God-filled experience of reassurance.
God has assured me that all would be well & I was once again filled with the passion that I want to do nothing else but Art.
I'm refueling for the battle ahead.
And today as I'm completely vexed while planning for my upcoming finances, I received a call from a colleague.
She would like me to give her daughter (and maybe her son) tuition.
Praise be to God! How wonderfully He works!
Thank you Jesus for the opportunity to sit by the foot of your cross & give praise to you. Help me be a pleasing sacrifice to you.

Welcome Session beLoved
It's interesting.
How sometimes you have so much to say, so much to ask, yet never be able to express them all. You keep them all to yourself and think that it's the best decision. Don't rock the boat, as the saying goes. It's not considerate to unload every thought to your closest friend - she'd have to shoulder your burden too. There're repurcussions if you tell your friend thoughts that concern the whole community; judgements are formed and there's no taking 'em back.
I was with Xiu today at Robertson Quay. Nice chocolate place with great atmosphere and scenic view. Many thoughts just running through my mind. Not sure if I should share them though; 'cos she knows the LSCO community and well. Sometimes being too close and sharing everything without the right focus can be disastrous.
Past by Clarke Quay after that and those drinking madly days just came back. A nice, naughty feeling of wanting to indulge in it again. But. Must maintain state of purity. It's the motive that's important. No over-drinking. No having fun in such a manner. Difficult to say no.

Week 10 Saturday
It's done.
Somehow I just feel some sort of absence. The class threw a 'surprise' party for me yesterday. How can they be so cute, adorable and handsome and yet so naughty at the same time?
Maybe I should have insisted on a teaching post in a girls' school.
It's too late to think about such thoughts now. Time to move on and look forward.
Have been mixed feelings lately about my discernment decision to do a 180 degree switch. I just hope and trust on Nicky Gumble's analogy. A child was playing a piano piece and the music sounded awful. This was transformed when his grandfather came by and started filling in the gaps and the outcome was beautiful.
I've no other hopes other than God's promises and hopes.
Alpha Weekend day 1 was good today. Went in with openess and the effect was simply mind-boggling. Didn't expect anything and got so much experience and affimations of the Lord's sovereignty.
Happiness vs. joy. peace of the world vs. peace of God.
