saturdaywater baptism!! was so so nervous. bumped into juliana, a colleague from work. we were like, "eh. ni shi CHC de ar?" haha. finally i know i am not standing alone in my company. while waiting to get baptised, me, rhonda & esther were abit crappy - "what if i drink water & come up coughing in Pst's face? what if slip & fall? yada-yada." went pretty smoothly. ushers helping at e pool were shaun & alan. both tried to be funny ar. "eh. don't fall down ar." with that cheeky expressions. #&!$#% haha. KIDDING. and OH! when i was about to go bathe, i got the shock of my life. DADDY came! as in my earthly daddy. i almost teared seeing him come. i was so jealous every others getting water baptised had their family to support them, i had none. isn't it supposed to be like an important day? haha. nevertheless, i kind of shrieked, "daddy! you came!" seeing him beam at my sentence, i knew he totally supports me when he agreed to sign the consent form. how much more fortunate can i be? another thing. KEEVE! pour the whole container of salt into my mouth. it was UBER SALTY! made me drink 3 drinks still not enough. ziling & ruby gave me a card each to congratulate me. joce with a muffin. thanks alot you 3! and keeve, tiff, leslie, joce, janet, chris, alex & simon for coming to support me! the chartered bus brought us to expo after that. service was really awesome. presence just came down. kneeling down & tearing in His presence, LOVELY. Word was superb. #1: A question of treasure#2: A question of vision#3: A question of devotion#4: A question of ambitionrushed for annette's birthday party. she was so excited to see me, "MOMMY!" with an embrace. now i so hate myself for neglecting her. stayed awhile, watched campus superstar (SHAWN'S THE CHAMP!!) before hitching a ride from dad to AMK station to meet justin. velvet dragon's BORING. is it the place? or me? that i've lost every ounce of party life. that's something good right? haha. sundayi OVERSLEPT till 8am!! somehow, my phone went into silent mode, giving me over 20 miss calls from michelle & weicheng. once again, praise God for my earthly father. he fetched me ALL the way to expo. hehe. reached at 930am, i think. the UFGS surprised me with a cake & a card to congratulate me too! was uber shocked. lovely surprise though. thank you thank you! :DWord was equally good to saturday's. #1: The Danger of being judgmental. #2: The Danger of being undiscriminating.#3: The Danger of Lacking persistence. #4: The Golden Rule.lunched at airport's staff canteen again. AGAIN. haha. fellowshiped at viewing gallery with snacks bought at cold storage & a new deck of cards. rainft(hehe) pissed me off BUT apologising by buying me coffeebean. nice bribery huh? haha. headed to white sands to get some stationeries before 21-ing with kenneth home. shared buckets. nice fella. (: this week - last week of SOTM. which means no more service on sunday, no more fellowshiping on sunday. gonna feel so weird.

secret is indeed a great show. especially the piano scenes.
finally fulfilled all my necessities ; topped up my ez-link card, bought the fbt pants(1 white for water baptism, 1 each for myself, sam & mei), umbrella(esprits' umbrellas rock!) & makeup removal. so far i've only bought one WANT - a pair of shades from 77th street. reasonably priced, only $15. biondi, gerald & weicheng each got a pair of shades too. we'll confirm camwhore this saturday. HA!
what's left that i've to set aside money for is: tithe, handphone bill, prucash, give daddy & mommy, give sam to buy bag.
later, eyebrow trimming, return eleanor $20. get 1 belt, a pair of shoe(the current brown pair is doing a split on me already!) maybe psycho mommy to pay for the shoes. HEH. & if i can find, a bag. otherwise i'll buy from lanas confession.
OH. most importantly! annette's birthday present! that's the purpose mommy & i are meeting tonight in town. in case there are some question marks to clear, annette's my lovely god-daughter!
i feel very distant from everyone in e cg suddenly. am i really spending too little time with them? am i too late to realise this? will your still give me the chance to salvage everything? i miss the good ol' days...

was chatting with yee on msn. she commented that she's very glad to see me & jas gone so far. was telling her that she too, has gone so far. must agree that everyone has gone far. haha.
we've all worked hard for where we are & can be today. and none of this would have been possible if we didn't pray for ourselves & each other. we should all have a heart of thanksgiving that God has not only brought ourselves to where we are today, but for everyone else too. :)
everyone, let's continue to have e fire of passion for serving Lord & King! & e spirit of holding to move on with God & our never-say-die spirit! hehe.
YAY! finally gonna go watch Secret tonight. with wyelin, biondi, gerald, weicheng, paul. rena & gordon still deciding... double YAY! biondi, gerald, weicheng & i are gonna get shades later! hopefully there's something for everyone. :)

now. about last weekend.saturdaycan anyone believe it? i was charlie terrace IC! when linkeong appointed me as CT IC, e ushers serving in CT all turned to me, waiting for CT's briefing or further instructions. i CONKED out for a moment! e most i'm given was BT 2nd IC? now i'm given e largest zone, being e 1st IC?! like, argh!!! praise God i'm given such an important role, but i was caught totally off guard! and, it's always been me LISTENING to briefing, not me GIVING briefing. with my heart thumping like mad, "err... err... your know what to do right? normal procedure. okay. we gather back to lay CT after refreshments." like, CRAP la! how stupid can i get?! felt so idiotic! all this aside, i really wanna thank group 2 for sending ushers to help us out. we may have ABUNDANCE of ushers in e end from our own section, still, group 2 was of great help! both me & wyelin(CT 2nd IC), together with all e CT wonderful ushers, filled e whole zone up, loophole-less! hehe. service was of cos great! who can surpass Dr Joyce Meyer in explaining things that seem hard to absorb/understand so simply?! lying on e floor in front of a whole congregation to explain things to us?! sounds crazy, yea. but she's really got THAT ability to make me go, "eh. so simple. why didn't i understand that before?" :)sundaye WORSE service i've attended on sundays! i am so so so VERY disturbed. brothers that DON'T have e 'manhood' in them. i know everyone wants good seats for themselves & their cg. so do i. but i seriously don't see a need to PUSH your way in. turning a deaf ear to e usher's words right? everytime before door opens, "everyone, PLEASE DON'T PUSH. no running." okay. i know i do run. BUT i don't push. think that's a dead routine e usher has to say huh?! look what happen when people turn deaf ears to things like this. especially those brothers that caused this incident on sunday! push push push. PUSHED A SISTER, making her sprawl on e floor. and what?! just RUN past her. people all around too! walk past e sister like as though she's a heap of maybe, bag? or whatever else people thought she was. she sprawled near to e alpha terrace black cloth, with her slippers at e other side of e black cloth. imagine how she fell. and what if she hit her head against e pole behind e black curtains that holds alpha terrace? consequences would be super bad. thank goodness she just hurt her knee. never think one leh, this brothers! elbowing my breast isn't enough huh? must make someone fall. if i HAD seen who pushed her down, i'll definitely grab THAT person on e spot & scold. i don't see him cry i won't stop. so pissed off! argh. it's been 2 days already. it's still so disturbing. better stop. i believe God will deal with whoever did that to that sister. *heaves a sigh of relief*alright. for sermon. it was awesome! finding a hurt & healing it ; finding a need & meeting it. may have heard it umpteen times, but it always come in a different spirit. lunched with michelle, alex & jon at airport. chilled at viewing gallery awhile & headed home. bad start to the day, lousy & boring day too. SIGH. maybe i'll stop being so devoted to UFG. & i'll prolly have lesser disappointments. yea. i should. can't understand how people rather choose sleep/laziness over fellowshiping. "oh, i'm so tired. i wanna rest." DUH. like i'm not. i mean, who isn't tired?! * rolls eyes *suddenly. i've a craving. i want plain white porridge with you tiao. YUM. :)

GOD OF MY FOREVER
God of my youth I remember
Your call on my life took me o’er
Your love has seen me through all my days
I stand here by Your grace
On this altar I’ve written my life
Tells of a story I have with You my Lord
I want the world to know
God of my forever
And forever I’m with You
My life is saved with a price
Your sacrifice redeemed my soul
God of my forever
And forever I will sing
My greatest honor will always be
To serve my Lord and King
God of my all I’ve surrendered
My heart finds its rest in Your word
Praises will not be enough to show
How my love for You has grown
Nothing matters when You’re here with me
In the end just to hear You say “Well done”
Bowing before Your throne
Forever and ever
Jesus You alone in glory reign
Forever and ever
With You I walk this narrow way
the latest worship song we have. the moment we first sang it, i knew this would be another of my favourites. how much can i say is all expressed in this song.
how my life changed when i was saved at 17. how i've placed my life His altar. how i want the world to know God is for forever; forever with me & i'm forever with Him. how i will always sing that serving my Lord & King is my greatest honour. how i surrender everything to Him. how my heart can find every single answer to my never-ending questions in His Word. how praises can never express how much my love for God has grown despite all my setbacks i've had, & to have Him by my side hearing Him praise me, "well done".
it shows how much this song brings out my feelings & love towards God. as i blog & listen to the song on KC's blog, i am tearing. reading the lyrics alone is enough to make me tear. oh my dearest Daddy, how i love you...
