They ain't heavy

I think it's so funny how Brendan actually manages to look like that monkey on his shirt. If Ian was more awake, this photo would have been funnier. But oh wells.

They ain't heavy, cos they're my brothers..




I thought you were my friend :(

Testify To Love

All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done.

Am I ready?

Mission trip is coming, in less than a month.

Am I willing to make sarcifices to live up to expectations? Am I going to cause a lot of trouble or be the one who helps out and makes life easier for others? Am I going to show that I'm a christian through the way I behave? Am I going to be significant or sucessful?

What am I going there for? What am I trying to achieve out of this trip?

Till I can come up with satisfactory answers, I dare not say I'm mentally ready for the trip.

This year is going to be different, that I promise You Lord.

Bored without a cure

This is bad. This is very very bad.

It's not even the holidays for me and I'm already BORED! Like I'm done studying and now I feel like I'm just wasting my time. Ok maybe when I'm officially having my holidays I'll be able to go out and stuff, so time won't be wasted. If not I'll definitely work or something. And I pictured the holidays to be more magical meaningful. Today (even though I'm not having any holidays) feels so wasted. Once again, if only I ended my papers today. Then I'll most probably be either freezing in the hall or rejoicing. Anything but feel bored and meaningless.

Maybe I should play the piano. NAHH. I'm too lazy for that. Come to think of it. I have no idea how I want to spend my holidays. Which means that most probably I'll be wasting time. And that isn't the best of plans. I don't think I can be going out everyday can I? And even if I do, I'm sure that after a while I'll just be bored of doing that.

Mission trip oh mission trip. If only you would come earlier and last longer. I seriously can't wait for it. Even though we're going to only Melaka. Ok, there's nothing wrong with going there. I rather not take a plane anyways. haha. Planes and Monica just don't go well together. Not at all. This time, I will go, knowing what I want to do - serving with all my heart. To do everything joyfully without any complains. Honestly, I think chances that I accomplish that is rather low, but still, that's my goal and I'm going to try to achieve it. If I actually managed to hit my target of saving a certain amount of money every month, plus do qt, (which I've been struggling to do for the longest time), I'm sure I can do this. JIA YOU ME!!

Oh well. Now to find something more meaningful to do, or at least someone to disturb. haha.

Changes

As I end a chapter of my life and start a new one, I thought I should change my blogskin as well.

So many things are going to change. The school I'm going to attend, the classmates I'm going to have, the new surroundings (no more shelter from mg), and loads more...

Ok, technically I am still having O Levels, but I just couldn't resist changing my blogskin. I had the other one for such a long time, and I decided it was time for a change. To think that my third week of exams are over. Now only left next monday, chem and physics paper 1 and I'll be done with this major exam. WOW

Don't worry, I'm not going to start recollecting all my memories. At least not now. Must wait for that significant moment.

Decisions after decisions are going to have to be made. Just pray that I've the wisdom to make the correct ones. These decisions are life changing decisions? One mistake and I'm going to regret it for life.

And ok, I guess it doesn't really matter how many people know. Should I go overseas, Australia, after this like for education or should I just stay in Singapore. I seriously seriously seriously need some advice. Like pros and cons. I'm going mad.. And I want to keep all my friends. I know if I leave, I'll most probably lose every other friend I have. And I dont' really want that to happen. Sigh. HELP!!!

Oh well. You are entitled to just marvel at my blogskin. haha.

Oh and I recommend you all to watch the Game Plan. NICE SHOW!

Guide to flying

Monica's guide to fly (or feel like you're flying)
works better for those who are wearing spectacles

1. Go to a nice spectacles shop (Mr Eyewear at West Mall is real good and efficient)
2. Get your eyes checked
3. Pray really really hard that your degree has changed (good excuses to get new frames)
4. Choose a nice pair of frames
5. Make your specs
6. Put on new specs
7. Now you'll feel like you're flying (so flap your wings..)

haha. I've nothing better to do in my life. And I just made a new pair of specs! YAY! Today's outing just proves how that stupid stupid Ming Ming Spectacle Shop has been cheating me. How can he not know that degree can drop! HMPH! My short sightedness improved!! YAY!! But my astige (however you spell it) went up.. No wonder I've been having such bad headaches.Sigh. I'll never get to wear contact lens at this rate. But oh well. Maybe if my short sightedness improve again, I can get new specs!! And I got my specs in half an hour. This guy is seriously efficient and very detailed in his work! I rate him 10 upon 10!!!

Two weeks of O Levels over! a big big wow!! I can't believe that it's going by so quickly. So I'm left with SS, Lit, Geog 1, Chem 1 and Physics 1. I am so NOT excited for the results, even though I thought the papers were all rather ok. But then again. Recieving results are never fun. Two more weeks. 4 days of which there's a paper. And then I can rejoice!!

Then again. I don't really want it to end. Then I'll have to leave the shelter of Mg. Have to start making all those life changing decisions.

Have faith in Him my friend.

The Lord's baseball game

Wow! The first week of O levels is like OVER!! To think it went by so quickly. Seriously thank God for helping me and everyone else through this.

JIA YOU PEOPLE! 2-3 more weeks!!

THE LORD'S BASEBALL GAME

Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord's team was playing Satan's team.

The Lord's team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named 'Love.' Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because "Love never fails."

The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love.The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch. Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked because he never swings at what Satan throws.

The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His starplayer. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Freddy said, "He sure doesn't look like much!"Satan's whole team relaxed when they saw Grace. Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch......... To the shock of everyone, Grace hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen! But Satan was not worried; his center fielder let very few get by.

He went up for the ball, but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head and sent him crashing on the ground; the roaring crowds went wild as the ball continued over the fence . . for a home run!

The Lord's team won!

The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom could get on base but couldn't win the game. Freddy answered that he didn't know why.

The Lord explained, "If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game, you would think you had done it by yourself. Love, Faith and Wisdom will get you on base but only My Grace can get you Home: 'For by Grace are you saved, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Psalm 84:11,For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good things will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."

I just happened to chance upon this and it made me realise that I won't be able to go through this whole thing alone. That I really need God to bring me through this. I must make a mental note, that it's only by God's grace that I can actually do all these papers.

My new favourite phrase, Do your best and let God do the rest!:)

Have faith

oh me of so little faith, learn how to let go and just let God.

dead

MY POOR POOR BLOG!! Why oh why is it so so dead?

Sigh. 2 weeks to O levels. I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday when I was in sec one, or even p1. entering MGS. And to think that I'm actually going to leave it soon. I'm going to miss MGS! I don't care what other people think of the school and of the teachers. I'm going to miss every part of mg like crazy. I'm so glad that I got the chance to be a mg girl! Ok I'm not going to start on this yet. I'll do it after O levels..

yes O levels. I can't believe it's going to be my turn soon. Now there's no time for mistakes. I know I haven't reached my potential in prelims and so I shall perform my best this time round. sigh.. the pressure.....

I'm scared. I'm freaked out. I need more time. I've so much homework and papers to finish. I'm going crazy!!

Ok. that's all for now. I think I'll put up my exam dates one day. till then..
