God is GooooooD!

haha i can't believe all that is over...the outreach, getting over the stage frights and all...and all that realli wouldn't be possible without...GOD! rem. i was talking abt being all nervous...but on friday itself...it felt so surreal...like i was in a dream. then it was the first time the whole of YE juz linked hands and arms as one and pray. we prayed for realli long. tim talked abt spiritual warfare...i think its so real...like the day b4 i juz woke up with a swollen eye when i had to go for a job interview. and this throbbing headache even till fri when i reached church. the sky was overcast the whole day...and i was thinking to myself. God will not let it rain...but when Paul did his intro and it started pouring. and someone frm my skit juz said WHY did he let it rain. i was juz thinking at tt moment. i had so much faith in Him tt it wouldn't rain and juz right smack at the start of our programme he let it. the nx thing tt came to my mind was. there must be a reason. but wad? i couldn't think of any beneficial reasons. but as i stood there...as all of us stood there everythin seemed to come to a standstill but i realised sth realli encouraging. instead of walking away. ppl actually took out umbrellas and stood in the rain watching. i mean yea perhaps a lot of them are our parents and frens but there were strangers we dun know tt were willing to stand in the rain to watch us.

the rain stopped later. we had to change our programme a lil. but everythin else after went smoothly. and i was realli glad coz i din expect standing on stage at paragon to feel the same as standing on stage in church for rehearsal. in fact, i was getting the jitters even more yest coz i felt its one of my last chances to appeal to my Dad.but again it was another disappointment.

anyway i loved all the presents i recieved! thank u all tt gave me sth HAHa. i simply adore tt cute round Cow Pang sai and Derrick gave...and the accessories i got...erm. and some BRIGHT PINK BILLABONG HANDBAG frm dex. rarr. i bet it was on purpose. but its ok i'll USE it...and no the biggest surprise was like this 1000 piece Jigsaw frm Sarah Kenneth and Debra! haha. the pic's damn cuute...

after service we all went trooping down to Mad Jack's...like 20-30 of us...crazy man. but the food was nice the company was nice and we had freee ice cream HAHA. oops. then Paul Mark Ah ma Sarah Jo Chan Gerald Moses and i went to KAP...and tried teaching some BRIDGE. while Moses and Mark juz gave up learning and started playing some lame BIG SMALL game. so by the time got to Ah Ma's house was like 2 plus am then we watched some Kungfu Mahjong till 5am...haha. ok i din finish watching. breakfast was DELICIOUs. hahaha. Turkey with french loaf and all....and lunch was even better...yummy.

ok i'm damn sleepy now...tmr's trial at Mad Jack's for my job...haha i hope i dun get sacked even b4 i get employed.

tmr...

i'm kinda nervous abt tmr. i bet most of YE is too. haha. but well we'll pull thru coz God put us here for a reason and he's gonna make gd use of us. u know though practice started quite some time ago...it seemed like we've come a long way. like look at us 2 weeks ago at camp when practically everyone started frm square one. with onli the choreographers knowing the dance and the skitters having not memorised their lines at all. and here we are 2 weeks later ready to go perform at paragon. haha sorry i'm ranting but yea...

ok i haf a terrible headache. bye bye. :(

a gift

super long since i blogged huh. haha welll 2 days after senior's night i flew off to Adelaide and came back on 14th and rushed off to Church camp on the same night.

Adelaide was juz...ok..v. laid back and stuff haha i told my mum the itinery's rather boring i think my free day shopping itinery was the best man. met Bryan somehow at the airport and he turned out to be in the same tour group as XH

camp was ok...and Thanks to YE for celebrating my b-day haha...erm no thanks for the cake smashing part ok TIM AND SARAH! theres still cake outside the toilet wall! plus the hee hee girls for their pressie! haha. and Shu for tt piggish dinner i got to eat on both nights

somehow i dun understand why its always after camp that ppl feeel much closer to God. i think the worships and msgs were realli gd...and personally i rather be the one standing amongst the seats worshipping rather than on the piano worshipping coz u onli haf one focus. but anyway i realise i cry a lot every camp rarr. haha but i was juz quite taken aback with wad my couz shared. like realli i know everyone knows that u dunno when ur life will be taken frm u. but the pt is its so duh until ppl juz dun take it to heart and wad Rach said was like a warning like my auntie could be gone anytime, my dad could go anytime and like who does not wanna see their loved ones in heaven right. Nelson asked our family group, so wad haf u learnt frm this camp. i think it juz affirmed my faith in Him. 2 weeks ago if u told me i'm gonna be able to speak on stage even in front of YE. i'll juz think its impossible. and someone told me this b4. juz rem tt God will not give u sth he knows u can't handle. so juz trust Him and haf faith that he will use u well.

went for "post b-day dinner" with Lizzie Chris Boon Xh and Justin yest. haha. there were like midnight sales everywhere and i went "shopping" fo rmy pesky bro and his dance stuff hahaha. strolled arnd haven seen them for a long time man...ok not THAt long. but still quite.

its 2am and my adelaide photos are still loading into shutterfly rarr.

Senior's Night

Senior's Night pics!!! HERE.

ok a few months back i was contemplating flying off to Aussie yest. but i dun regret not. haha. quite sad act...its like realli the last last time we'll all be tog. as a class or as a whole big cohort again. looking at those slide shows yest juz showed how time flew these two yrs...with my OG dancing! omg. haha.

i was supposed to meet Lizzie and Xh and Chris and Boon for lunch at 12 at city hall. and guess wad i woke up at 11.55!!! with THREE alarm clocks. my gdness i wonder how i do tt sometimes so anyway Boon says she's repairing her bro's PS and Chris is...well i dunno. and so i reach there at 1 and see a v. hungry XH and Lizzie haha.

went to check in at Ritz after...and u wouldn't expect to WAIT to get ur room at a wad 5-6star hotel. haha but anyway the room's realli niceee...and Lizzie Boon and Chris immediately went jumping in tt pool downstairs. Amy came to do our hair and makeup...damn exciting! haha coz my face was juz so itchy all the time and she's like NO CANNOT SCRATCH!. and she curled my hair. i was rather surprised hoping i wouldn't look like an auntie.

and juz in the midst of these Justin called to be picked up to the room when all of us are like...dolled up and stuff. haha. at least he said we looked ok. then Alex came pouting away.

the whole night was juz pics and more pics. and stuffing dinner into ur mouth so that the waiters and change the nx dish for u. everyone juz looked so nice...rather diff. frm sec4 prom.

i think we haven changed this fast ever...after dinner we chionged up and changed and went down to take cab to club momo b4 12...save money. haha. and everyone in the lobby was like still in prom gear waiting for cab and lazing arnd.

so perhaps i would change my concept abt clubbing. i guess it all boils down to the company u go with. the way u behave and ultimately ur motive. haha. but anyway yest was really fun with our group...with a lil. of SD2. ut Sarah's bf's frens were realli nice lar. and Mac and Zp too. realli took care of everythin. and i conclude. dun get wasted pls. u realli look damn comical haha.

by the time we got back to hotel was abt 4am alr...finally slept at 5am...but damn shiok lar the sofa. yea i slept on the sofa AGAIN. and my alarm juz rang 3 times when it was set at 9.30am and we end up waing at 10plus. but check out was so soon!

met Nicholas and he brought us up to his Ritz Carlton Suite. tt place is freaking nice and huge can. its like 2 bed rooms with 3 toilets and 1 dining area and one 1 living room area. and a PANTRY! with jacuzzi and bath salts and oils and all! and best thing is. the ppl weren't in theroom! haha. super nice lar...

then we went for lunch at kenny rogers after check out. their macaroni cheese is juz.yummy!. oh no now i sound like a pig.

the lil spices in life

so the end of the week wasn't tt bad afterall...went for lizzie's chalet. which in fact i juz went to SLEEP. but Chris cooked dinner/supper for me. so sweet! haha thx girl. her sausages and potato damn nice. then both of us greedy pigs juz stood at the fire eating while the rest went to play pool.i think its like the earliest i ever slept in any chalet...by 3am we were all sleeping. me in my "baby cot" coz i such a nice fren i let justin take the 3 seater sofa. hahaha.

yest was Ms Chia's wedding. first time i went to a church wedding...i dunno wad to say abt it...i would say its rather special...compared to wad i expected...then i was super duper late meeting sarah gerald kenneth and nick coz of...2 unforseeen circumstances. but anyway not bad lar...got race pack and everythin and we juz stood there watchin ppl play hockey on blades and skaters and stuff.

i'm realli tired noww.w.. i woke up at 3.30am...to wake somepiggies up. namely sarah and kenneth...ppl realli haf FUNNY habits like brushing their teeth IN BED. breakfast was juz damn farnie. with 3 of us trying to cut fruits and kill roaches in the kitchen at 3 am in the morning. so we get a heart attack when theres no sign of nick being awake at 4.15 so we call and call and leave 29 missed calls on his phone b4 we left and somehow dropped off at the wrong "stadium" haha.thank God everythin worked out and nick got there and we all got to run i guess...10k was like so much further than expected...

i've beeen rather whiney lately. i dunno why hahaha. i think the hee hee girls can tell. but anyway i banged my head on the stupid cupboard overhead yest and its juz damn pain...i should do sth interesting tmr to relief my bordem. esp. when i juz realise i haf piano at 7.45 am...sigh

today's skit prac was quite funny...with Char trying to act bimbo...and all...hopefully i manage to remember my confused parts.haha

Centre Of My Life

Let my walk speak loud

And my words be true

Let my life be whole

With my eyes on you

Lord I'm stepping out

From the comfort zone

Letting go of me

Holding on to You

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

You are Lord, my God

You are the centre of it all

The universe declares in awe

Your majesty, I surrender all

I make You the centre of my life

Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song

Of heaven's melody

Your Majesty

I live to sing Your song

I have found Your peace

It replaces anything

You have done it all

I can trust in You

So I'm stepping out

From the comfort zone

Letting go of me

Holding on to You

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

You are Lord, my God

You are the centre of it all

The universe declares in awe

Your majesty, I surrender all

I make You the centre of my life

Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song

Of heaven's melody

Your Majesty

I live to sing Your song

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings healing to this land

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings freedom

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings healing to this land

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings freedom

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

You are Lord, my God

You are the centre of it all

The universe declares in awe

Your majesty, I surrender all

I make You the centre of my life

Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song

Of heaven's melody

Your Majesty

I live to sing Your song

Your Majesty

My life will sing Your song!
