Lord, Give me Strength
i most probably wont be updating this blog too frequently in the near future (til 28112006) cos of my exams..
but to carry u guys thru wadever periods ure in now, be it times of rejoicing, or times of spiritual dryness, i wanna quote u this poem i found on my brother's desk..
Lord, Give Me Strength
Give us your strength, Lord.
Because sometimes things get tough,
and we are ready to quit.
Give us your love, Lord.
Because sometimes people reject us,
and we are tempted to hate.
Give us your eyes, Lord.
Because sometimes life gets dark,
and we lose our way.
Give us your courage, Lord.
Because often we are put under pressure,
and it's hard to do what is right.
Give us yourself, Lord.
Because our hearts were made for you,
and we will not rest until we rest in you.
~Mark Link, S.J.

givin up
talking to shivs jus now made me voice out smthg i've been feeling quite a long time le..long as in a few weeks..
this is for the pple i've "confessed" to abt my crush on Q..pretty sure sm of u are happy (perhaps even relieved) that i've conceded defeat and resigned to the cold unforgiving reality of this world =]
~.~.~
me :
u know how smtimes, when we know for sure that the odds are stacked so high against us and wad we want is realli close to impossible..like a hair's breadth away frm impossible, we cease to hope..and resign ourselves to the fact that it'd be impossible..
and then we make up reasons why we concede defeat to make it less "painful" more so for ourselves than others..
i think it's happening to me..
shivs :
serious?! how so?
me :
u know wad
shivs : yes?
me :
like i'm bound to have to face the reality that my crush on Q will nv be more than a crush..
and "instinctively" i'd rather not waste time fantasizing and wishing and hoping for a dream that will practially nv come true..and focus on smone else who can give me what i want at this point in time..
makes much more sense
i mean..y wld i want to make myself upset and like "pine" over smone who'll probably never ever feel the same way abt me?
it's ridiculous!
i'd much rather be happy than depressed..
shivs :
yea
i know what you mean
~.~.~
yea..feel a lil lighter now..not realli happier..but lighter..wadever that means..haha..
mebe meetin suf, shir and the others nxt saturday for a get tgd of ex-mates!! =]
depends on myself, and also my parents..yes, i still listen to my parents even though i'm 1 yr away frm the big 2 0, their opinions matter..i'm the guai kia..while i'm still living under their roof, it's safest and the most diplomatic to play & live by their rules..that way, the chances of leading a relatively peaceful existence are higher..at least in my house..
shir called my bluff..darn!!..
~.~.~
me :
i'm not sure if i wanna go not
cos i'm havin my exams the following week
shir :

10 Scriptures to Pray ~ OJ (Sp. Feat.)
this i got frm OJ Sep . Oct . Nov 2006 p.31
i thought it realli good and useful..dont look at the scripture and say "o, i've seen this b4, i know that already." look at the verses and be still and listen to wad gOd has to say..smtimes, wad we need is a repeated promise, or a repeated command..gOd knows what we need..
be still and listen
To bolster your faith in difficult seasons, meditate and pray God’s truth :
Pray, “Lord, I believe…
"Trials will come"
1 Peter 4 : 12-13
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
“Trials forge my faith”
James 1 : 2-4
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
“Your hand is on the thermostat”
1 Corinthians 10 : 13
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
“I can abide under your faithfulness”
Psalm 91 : 2 , 4
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust”…and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
“I can trust you when I am afraid”
Psalm 56 : 3-4
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
“Thinking about Jesus’ sacrifice brings perseverance”
Hebrews 12 : 3
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
“This trial will increase my faith”
Matthew 14 : 30-31
But when [Peter] saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
“This trial will teach me how to forgive”
Luke 23 : 34
And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
“This trial will teach me how not to rely on myself”
2 Corinthians 1 : 8-9
For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
“This trial will teach me how to depend on the Holy Spirit”
Galatians 2 : 20
It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

rwanda + ninjitsu
today, i decided to dress up a lil..not too much..
church is a great place to be =] ..it is there that i feel ultra safe from anythg the world an throw at me..it is there that i feel secure surrounded by christian brothers & sisters..it is also there that i can try out new clothes =D
yea..i wore wad i wore on last sunday today..the green top + jeans mit my hair tied up and the GOLDEN earrings and heels..
mahes didnt recognise me at first =] ..same reaction as daena..if i remember correctly..hahas..
i think at a glance i looked alright..but upon closer scrutiny, i dont look that good..but it's ok..i think i look good enough for gOd..and if i'm good enough for Him, i'm good enough for anybody else..hah =D
anyways..the reason i usu dress better on wednesdays is cos there's smone i see on wednesdays that i admire..and therefore wld like that person's acknoledgement that i exist..and if possible, impress that person..which is difficult considering that person's character..
but, wadever, i jus felt like dressing up anyhow, besides, my fav lecturer's lecture's on wednesdays =]
love Jonathan London's lectures..his witty + dry humour and his dead nasal monotone and the more than occassional shows of clips are a killer with me..i luvvit!!..we watched rwanda genocide today..i felt realli funny and upset watching it..
weird that right when other kids are dying, i'm here in primary school, happily playing in the playground, contemplating wad to eat..it's a funny feeling that..
upset at other nations for their lack of "appropriate" & "adequate" response to wad was happening to the tutsis..
upset with the hutus..i mean..wad's their problem??..so wad if there are other "races" co-existing with u..they're not mass-slaughtering u cos ure a hutu..they shldnt do that..if they wanna have the upper hand (or feel like they do) they shld rise up, oppress and exploit them economically..that makes more sense..but no direct killing..*just a stupid thought*..
anyways, i think i did grab that person's attention..for convenience sake on my part, let's call that person Q..
Q was staring hard at me b4 class started..which either means Q didnt recognise me (like mahes & daena) or Q thought i dressed funny or Q liked how i dressed today..*i feel so superficial now*..
all the same, i felt pleased that i was noticed..
i'm going to be so sad when Q leaves..*sob*..
german was good =]
my teacher liked my postcard..and there were few mistakes..which is good..
gabriel's stomach was grumbling more or less thru-out the tu..hahas..but it's ok..if it were me, i'd be so darn embarrassed..so i didnt make a big deal out of it..jus smiled..i didnt have any food to offer either..so sorry!!..and it'd be weird to offer water..since i didnt know him that well..and he'd have to drink frm my bottle..plus the fact that i've gots a sore throat..dont wanna pass it to him the week before our oral test..
oh ya!!
does anyone know any place in Singapore which has Ninjitsu classes??
Ninjitsu NOT Ninja-Do
they're different..yea..
anyone??..
o wait..i jus found out..they DONT have ninjitsu classes here..no idea y..
so the best bet for me is to learn taijitsu (hand-to-hand combat)..and then go US learn ninjitsu..
sigh..
SOME NICE PERSON PLEASE SET UP A DOJO & CLASSES FOR NINJITSU!!!
i aint the onli one who wants to learn it here..
please?
