Super impacted by zone prayer meeting today.
Love of God.
I think i now know how my capacity can further expanded.
Just like what Ian said, when we're up to our limit in loving somebody, it is only the love of God that can help us to continue to love this person or to love him or her unconditionally.

I just feel so thankful that the love of God is in my life.
;)

WOO Zam Zam has pratas the size of my test pads!
Shioking dinner last night with 3 or the usuals, and with 3 new faces.
Haha, 3 new friends in a day!
Walked past much of arab street yesterday and finally got a glimpse(and smell) of the much talked about shisha.
Just to quote Mell again, "You don't look like a JC student lah!"

And had to stay up late to complete my econs essay and keep a certain somebody awake to study.
5am - Sleeping time
Best thing was econs only needs to be handed in on Mon. $_$

Surprisingly, today there was a lot of deep thinking and defining of questions.
Especially during econs hahaha!
Chinese after that was even funnier.

Supposed to K after listening but Germs didn't feel like it so in the end we didn't at all.
Ah oh well.
Have to head back to school later for CWO at 6pm.
Horrid time when there's classes tonight.

In the meantime, its time for some L4D.

Well yesterday was a memorable service.
Like 4.5k people seeing you 'fall' under the power of God.
And possible a few more thousand watching over the internet.

And our beloved section leader going to learn how to somersault soon.
HAHA!
And the Manouveres are so, well, amazing for their age!
I loved the backflip from stage to the floor.
Like almost 2 metres in total counting the jump in the air.

Well interesting service basically.
And powerfully impacted.
Today is another memorial that i have to lay down and remember.
But just as WH preached on friday, we have to continue walking.

Well the coming week is going to be a week of prayer!
Haha.
Pastor Kong said something that definitely has impacted me:

He said that speaking in tongues is powerful, because the devil doesn't understand it.
Only God does.
That is why i came up with the equation:
Speaking in tongues more = Breakthrough comes faster.

This is why i'm going to pray more.
Because i really need certain breakthroughs to come.

"When everything else seems to be a mess, the only strength comes from God, and to where you focus it."

I guess its time to make a decision before everyone gets upset.

Somehow, i've been visiting survey monkey too much the last 2 days.
Max's birthday on sunday night was really a blast haha!
Especially with the straw blowing, ice cream smashing madness.
What other rants i've got?
Why is MapleViaOnline always so unstable?
Haha i guess i will just wait till it stabilizes and everything.
Oh and i want my own atm account soon.
Or netts will be fine, whichever will help me pay for that occasional midnight cab fare home.
And this week i'll be keeping this thought in mind: "Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we react."
That's because our CT's are slowly, but surely being returned to us, haha.

Well i gotta pray soon.
Saturday, another step of faith.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

Well, back from a movie from the cell, and i've finally watched the much talked about:


I think many of my friends already know i'm not a movie buff and i only watch shows that i feel are worth watching on the big screen.
You can call me a critic, because i'm usually not very generous when it comes to rating movies.
Well, transformers happens to be another one of those movies.
Don't be offended at first sight, because i'm not saying that the show isn't good. Just listen to what i have to say.

Firstly, all that hype about Megan Fox being the hottest senorita around, well i think its really an overstatement.
I'm not gay, i do admit she has a thought-provoking body, but, i mean, all that fuss wasn't really necessary.

Next, i think what Michael Bay did was right, that he didn't really focus much on developing an extraordinary plot but focused on the action instead.
Action buffs like me are highly entertained.
Sure, in the end the plot seems like your average "We're so different but together we're the best team", "Divided we fall", and all that talk about destiny, i don't need anymore extra cheese the next time i'm at subway.
But, that's where the movie shines because, that minimal(or lack of) focus on the plot is really able to draw viewers to where the bang in the buck is for the movie. And this is where i reiterate again, it is the action that really what makes Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen an awesome flick.
I'm not going to be anal and do a close analysis on everything(even though i think it'll help pull up my lit grades) but short clever dialogue, plot twists, and the whoop-ass fights between the Autobots and Deceptacons really made my monday night after a long day at school.

Final Judgement?
4 stars out of 5 stars.

Just to address some thoughts, i needed this post.

Being 17 is definitely full of joy, but at the same time, confusion, bewilderment and insecurity.

Sometimes i look at the friendships my CHS friends share and i can't help but envy, thinking, have i given those friendships for church?
Then i must tell myself again, is it for church, or is it for God?
I am then reminded that we have to give up certain things to follow Christ, carrying my cross to follow You.
Though i look at see, Lord, i can't help but feel i could have been in that picture with them, but somehow i know, that what i see is only temporal and the only things that are of worth are the things that are eternal.

Sometimes i wonder, how can people not be concerned about where they are going after they die.


And another thing, the last month or so has me rather, well, in a state of ambivalence.
A double-minded shall be unstable in all his ways, and i've told myself i should be firm in the decision i make.
But i don't like to hurt people.
Given the only option i have, what else can i do?
Actions all have consequences.
But the consequences are determined by how we react to those actions.
You don't always have to 'pay' for your consequences.
You never know, you could always draw out the best in you in those times of trial.

Maybe i should not have led you on.
Because when i turn and look back
It seems like an unrecorded song.
An incomplete tune, cacophony with lyrics absurd
They make me feel like a complete bastard.
But i don't want to dwell in the place
So shallow so low
So dry so broken like a hidden plateau
I want to find comfort, from the heart within
The heart of worship, the heart free of sin.
No place is there Lord like the palm of your hand
Which soothes and cleanses my heart
My mind, soul and body
I know my problems are much,
They won't stop to tell
Of the times i've been broken
And the pieces fell
Deep in a well.
But the Lord is my strength,
my shield and my faith.
And in Him alone i will trust
because there my purpose remains.
My security and identity,
in a God that truly reigns.
So seek His kingdom first,
And all shall be added back to you.
And one day i know that that thing,
Indefinitely will be you. ;)

ANYONE HAS WIDE SARGASSO SEA???
URGENT

Break

Its so funny that one word connotes 3 things that i absolutely have to love:

Break

1) Rest, like when i'm having a kit kat.
2) Jargon or short for breakdancing/bboy.
3) Breaking down by God.

Especially by the last one, i'm reminded of Pst Tan's preaching during SOS.
Being broken so that the anointing can flow.
Joy said the same thing too on fri's pm cgm.

And decentralized service was sweet, even though i was serving.
Sometimes i think that even though serving places some restrictions on us, it is a good thing because we will find new ways to enjoy the service.

School in about 6 hours.

Super shagness yesterday after double decentralized services.
After that was dinner, a long talk and LAN haha.
But Melvin Chiang and me had to walk back to amk from Mell's house?
It was a walk that lasted from about 1.15 to 2.30?
Every step i take, i feel like giving up man seriously.
Oh well in the end, we still managed to get to our destination.
Machaim like trekking sia, i told him.

Past 2 days hanging out with cell has well, made me happy again.
I mean its a long time since i fellowshipped with the cell.
Once you're in a ministry you'll start to cherish every fellowship you have with your cell members haha.
Later on is Swensens with cell again cos of the voucher we won last year at NEOS camp hah.
Corinth 2!
Alright i'm still thinking if i should go bboy at raffles.
Hungry.

English 101

The importance of punctuation:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
'Well, I'm a panda', he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.

Lit

This is why i love my lit teacher:

Don't worry about Common Test. It's only an academic assessment, not a judge of worth, character or aptitude.
