1st day of Christmas

2009-12-25T08:19:54Z

One of the stranger, yet better Christmas Days.
Happy Birthday Jesus :)

Service = Sermon + carols + candles + a lot of swaying. (I'm a sway-along-with-the-music sort of person.)
After Service = Supper + 09 reflections + roof top talks + black jack + realising how much we've grown + realising how we've gone through so much together + cycling at 7am to botanics + home by 9am + asleep by 9:30am.

On a completely different note, my mom told me that my card made her tear.
It felt good knowing that :)

Blessed Christmas everyone :)

x.

3 days to Christmas :)
I love this time of the year. The Christmas songs (Jason Mraz is awesome btw), Christmas cheer, Orchard road lighting, Parties, Dressing up, Food, Candles, Christmas cards (more of a card person than a gift person)... Christmas/baby Jesus ftw!

& unlike past years, I know what I want for Christmas this year: His Peace. Could use a lot of that. It's like i'm waging a mind war every day; trying to fend off those negative thoughts and fears. Pastor Lewis reminded us that Christmas represents God's everlasting peace; the birth of Jesus; Salvation. & I guess I really need that this year.

PHOTOS!
HAHAHAHAHAHA EPIC

I saw shooting stars yesterday. Like for real. Not some airplane in the sky or whatever.
Went over to linjia's place with Izzy for our 5hour-long channel 8 drama marathon (the jeanette aw show)(yeah we're avid fans of local tv.)
Went up to her roof patio where we dragged out some chairs and started star gazing. You'd be surprised as to the number of stars there were!
THEN WE SAW SHOOTING STARS. I think we saw a total of....6 shooting stars? so pweeety :) I mean i'd never expect to see any in Singapore, but hey, awesome stuff :)

Oh. did i mention, we had supper at 3:45am. 3 packs of meegoreng. Of which, i think i ate 2.
shucks. I'M GOING TO MAKE IT A POINT TO HAVE SUPPER ONLY ONCE A WEEK NEXT YEAR.
too fattening. too unhealthy. ~~too good.~~

- Farewell Assembly was sucha flop.
- I'm appalled as to how much clocks cost -.-
- 04's attempt to start the yah cheer = epic fail = hilarious
- 06IP photo ♥

It's funny because I've been counting down the days in NJ since i first stepped in, and now that it's ending, I'm actually pretty sad. (I'm pretty scared too cause...leaving nj means stepping out of yet another "comfort zone". Though this "comfort zone" isn't too comfy, at least I know what to expect everyday, and i find comfort in that.) I wouldn't regard NJ as my "home" or "second home" or whatever, but hey, 4 years must count for something. (and fyi, it's the longest i've stayed in any school).
"For friendships made, and pleasures shared, and lessons learned apace".
Thank you budddddies :) All of you. Without you guys, NJ would have been...miserable. haha
Special thanks to the girls (Jing, Wanyun, Xiuhui, Lava and Xiangyin), the underground (Rachel, Avril, Estella, Enid, Tingzhi, Amanda, Ben, Paul, Eugene), the squash girls (Zhijing, Amanda, Clara, Carmen), Ben Kwok, Huiwei, Joycelyn, Chiansiang andd and and my PW group..you guys have been my pillars of support throughout these years, and I'm so grateful to have you guys around:) (love x10000)

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:12-13

My mom reminded me that God's a God of miracles.
& that anything can happen as long as i learn to depend on Him and to trust in Him.

I say on Sunday how much I want revival
But then on Monday, I can't even find my Bible
Where's the power
The power of the cross in my life

I'm sick of playing the game of religion
I'm tired of losing my reason for living
Where's the power
The power of the cross in my life

I'm not content just to walk through my life, giving in
To the lies, Walking in compromises now
We cry out as a generation that was lost
But now is found in the power of the cross

Chorus:
We believe in You
We believe in the power of Your Word that is true
We believe in You
So we lay down our cause
That our cross might be found in You

I'm not satisfied doing it my own way
I'm not satisfied to do church and walk away
I'm not satisfied there's no love in my life but You
I'm not satisfied living in yesterday's hour
I'm not satisfied to have the form but not the power
I'm not satisfied, Lord I am crucified in You
(Chorus)

So we lay down our cause
That our cross might be found in You
