bible school is really coming to an end soon and as the days to graduation draws nearer and nearer, there’s a huge part of me unwilling to end this phase of my life. yea, i know that when bible school ends, a new chapter, new phase, new season of my life starts. but yet, if my life was a story (and i mean… it is a story), i would say that this chapter of my life is the best that i’ve experienced so far!
i forged many new friendships. some really random ones… but some just grew deeper and stronger during bible school days. looking back, this 5 months have definitely revolutionized my life. not long ago, as i was on my way home, i told God how much im gonna miss bible school. then God spoke, showed me how much i’ve grown. tho during these 5 months, there were ups and downs, but yet, i clung on to God.
wat more can i say? feelings and emotions welling up on the inside of me. i really cant bear to see the international students leave but yet, i know and we all know that when they go back to their hometowns, God is going to use them in such a great and extraordinary way! simply becoz they set aside and wholly dedicated these 5 months to the Lord.
i’ll definitely miss the early morning praise and worship before lessons starts… drinking coffee to stay awake… helicopter heads (haha)… the sleeping trinity (yulin, weilin, me)… batam emerge… choinging assignments… ban mian at best coffee shop… bubble tea days… and the many other crazy things that all of us did tgt. but most imptly, the great, interesting, and impactful lessons that we had tgt!
today, we had such an encounter… such a visitation from God. there was such a great move of God at bible school. the love of God overwhelmed and flooded the B4 auditorium. many students teared… i teared… hearts softened in the presence of God as God did a work in each and every one of our lives…
after the session ended, it was just such an emotional time as we went round giving each other a hug… thanking each other for the times that we spent tgt…
1 more week in SOT…
and i will definitely cherish this one week…
thank You Lord for the amazing time i had during these 5 months… there’s nth more that i could ask for! thank YOU!
i’m at david’s house now slacking away! haha.
the rest are playing mahjong but i’m not playing becoz they are playing with money involved! so i’m just in front of the laptop trying to keep myself occupied! haha. oh wells. i really dunno wat to do oso. it feels kinda weird!!! haha. i’ve hardly spoken a word since i’ve reached his place. i think i can count the number of words that i’ve spoken! haha.
there’s FT2 test tmr and i really shld be studying for my test tmr! but it’s gonna be very weird for me to take out my book and start studying for the test! so… i really dunno wat to do. haha. i feel like talking on the phone but my phone batt is running low! oh mannnnnnn… i feel stranded at holland! haha. help!
i really really shld have gone home!!
i feel like sleeping and taking a nap… haha.
anyway, i had my FT1 test today! i dun really think it’s easy!! i anyhow guessed my answer for quite a number of questions! i just hope i dun fail my test! haha.
Pastor Tan has been teaching at SOT! he’s really good! haha. had quite a few revelations during class this week! (:
ok, i really dunno wat else to blog abt. haha.
fatty just talked to me..
here’s our conversation
fatty: are u staying for dinner?
me: err.. i dunno leh…
fatty: if not then u come here to read blogs ah… very sad leh!
HAHA. oh man.. when he said that, i really feel like laughing! i oso dunno wat to do! mr david told me that there will be other pple who will be playing without money involved! then now like that.. wat can i do… the laptop is my companion lor… haha.
oh yes, which reminds me! i had the most interesting conversation with this guy who added me on msn coz he saw my msn add on friendster. he’s 16 years old only. but i was very sian diao after talking to him. haha. dun ask me why. only yulin, shiming and joce shld noe. bleah. =P
recently, there have been a few pple in my life who asked me why am i such a devoted christian? why do i go to the extent of attending bible school? do i want to be a pastor? a preacher? etc etc…
well, these questions got me thinking. i started thinking if i’m attending bible school becoz it seems like it’s the norm to do so (at least it seems so becoz the pple around me are attending bible school)… am i going to church for the sake of going? am i going to church out of a routine?
many questions came to my head.. but all these questions serve only to proof one thing – that i have a relationship with God! (:
i’m a devoted Christian becoz i know that God loves me and becoz i love God.
i’m a devoted Christian becoz in God, i find my identity.
i’m a devoted Christian becoz of my relationship with God.
i’m a devoted Christian becoz Jesus forgave me of all my sins.
i’m a devoted Christian becoz of the many encounters that i had with God. all these encounters can nv be replaced with anything else in my life. i guess it’s really becoz of these encounters that i noe and i noe that God is true, God is faithful, God is My Abba Father. (:
i’m attending bible school becoz i noe that God has called me.
i’m attending bible school becoz i want to noe so much more abt God.
i’m attending bible school becoz i’m hungry for more of Him.
i can give my frens a whole list of reasons why i’m such a devoted Christians but that does not beat experiencing God for yourself! i hope that my life itself is the message… that i’m living out the very message that Jesus left when He died for us on the cross! (:
yes, i made many sacrifices going to bible school… attending church, cell group, prayer meetings, outreaches etc… and many asked me if it’s worth it. my answer is YES, it’s all worth it. becoz the ultimate sacrifice is not the sacrifices that i’ve made but it is Jesus sacrificing His life for me… for u… for all mankind. (:
so yes, i love God but i noe that my love for Him cannot be compared to His unconditional love for me (:
i’m really tired!
i need my rest and sleep!
anyway, my week’s been really pack and i foresee another packed week next week!
i’m really feeling too lazy to update my blog on the many things that have taken place over the past two weeks!
all i can say is that my capacity has really been stretched! and i feel i can handle so much more things now! praise the Lord! (=
anyway, SOT today was AWESOME!! the anointing level is really increasing day by day! many pple were set free today and that includes me! thank You Lord! there is power in the blood of Christ! i noe and i noe that i am a child of God! (=
but it still feels incomplete! tmr will be another round!!
i was so tired today that i took a 6hour nap! that’s like the amount of time i sleep every night or even more than that!
so anyway, i’m feeling very lazy to update abt the boardgames session, mission trip and the camp now.. haha.
but today marks the last day of preachiing tests at SOT! but it ended off bad.. =((
i called pauline and cried. coz i really didnt expect it to end off that way. sigh. i was feeling so sad, discouraged and crushed! i just needed someone to pour out to.
i feel so tired physically and even spiritually.. i really cant wait to go to church tmr!
and yes, let Your kingdom come and let Your will be done!
no longer i but Christ living in me
serving You for all eternity…
i need a renewing, a refreshing and a recharging of my spirit!
and so…
the Lord spoke during SOT today! words of encouragement.. words of edification… words that left me tearing like mad…
indeed, it’s not by power, not by might but it is by the Holy Spirit!!
i’m truly amazed by the encounters that benny hinn has with the Holy Spirit!
the book “Good Morning Holy Spirit” has inspired me to have a deeper and more initmate fellowship with the Holy Spirit!
take all of me and never let me go (:
pompompam is sick!! really very sick!! bad bout of flu, cough and sore throat!!! =(((
didnt go SOT today coz i was too sick to get out of bed! =((
my days have been getting busier and busier. meetings, meet ups etc etc find their way to me! well, i really dun mind coz i love to hang out! but with nearly zero in my pockets, i always find it a burden at times to go out! oh wells.
many things have definitely happened over the span of time that i have not updated my blog!
LOUD camp was definitely phenomenal! and i think the camp has definitely bonded some of the SOT students much more! that includes me, joce, yulin, weilin, peng, shiming and chingfeng! haha. but it’s fun to have a group of really crazy and noisy yet spiritual frens! (((:
we had cereal tues ytd!! while everyone else was having their dinner, the 6 of us (excluding chingfeng coz he’s in japan now!) were having our breakfast!! cereal plus milk!! hehe. we got so excited and VERY happy after eating our long awaited cereal! and i guess our cereal gathering grabbed the attention of many pple! oops! haha.
i shld really do sth like that for my cg! cereal gathering!!! :DDDDDDDDDDD
well, like wat keeve told joce, it feels like we are in kindergarden rather than in SOT! cereal plus milk, playing, going crazy, sleeping during breaks etc etc! haha. but it’s fun! and the company of pple that really matters!! ((:
to the 6 of u, thanks for spicing up my SOT days! i guess it wouldnt have been so fun with the 6 of u!! (((:

anyhows, SOT has gone full blast for me!! i officially started on thurs! and well, i could feel the strain and tiredness just attending SOT on thurs and fri. but even so, i have no regrets going to SOT this year!! (: ytd, i totally konked out at around 10plus. i slept till this morning around 930am! WAHAHHAHA. that’s close to 12 hours of sleep!
here’s an interesting fact that i learnt during SOT. pst meng told the SOT students this.. “a study has shown that if u sleep btwn 6-9 hours a day, u wont be obese. but if u sleep less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours a day, u will be obese..” i was like.. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!? haha. so well, after close to 12hours of sleep, i guess i’m one step closer to being obese huh! ahahahahahahah. =P
i’ve been going out ever since exams ended on wed! here’s a quick summary! (:
wed
i went to meet pauline at powerhouse. prayed with her for a while. went home to give tuition. went to meet ah cong, briony, royston, zoe and ernah for dinner! we had chicken rice and it was quite nice!! (: went for dessert at bugis after that! walked around.. waited for pauline to come and join us. shared rojak, had milo and chatted quite a bit while pauline was having dinner. well, i couldnt help but to feel like as tho i was just eating and eating non stop after my paper ended at 11am! i felt SO FULL and URGH. haha. i went home to weigh myself and to my horror of horrors, i put on 1kg!! i ate 1kg of food!! EEKS! haha.
thurs
I WENT TO SOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD so happy!!!! pst aries taught that day! he’s very funny and i like the way he teaches!! (: had lunch with some team mbrs. joce and shiming were with us too. brainstormed for the theme for loud camp. came up with some interesting ones. hope that one of the themes that we propose will pass! (:
went home and took a short nap. started my new tuition with lewis!! he’s VERY cute! haha. sec 1 only!! but he’s like SUPER CUTE la! hehe. =PPPP hopefully can invite him for LOUD camp!!! (:
met up with EVER SO DEAREST SHU MIN!!!! YAYYYY!!! like after so long, we finally met up!! (: budget budget budget, so we just ate at the food court at AMK hub. and after that, we walked around aimlessly with me filling shu in abt my life and yanjingtangtang!! haha. and of course, shu min filled me in abt how life’s been for her! (:
fri
another day at SOT!! i felt so tired! bumped into chi ba bom at paya lebar station! dunno whether its a good or bad thing not. hahaha. joking joking. had company all the way to boon lay. but we were too tired to talk.. so we just slept in the train all the way to boon lay! haha. QUEENIE!! DUN ANGRY HORRR… AHAHAHHA. (well, if those reading my blog dun understand wat i’m saying, it’s ok! it’s queenie’s little secret with me! ahahahahahaha. =PpPp)
anyway, pst meng taught at SOT! he’s AWESOME!!!!!!! i love it when pst meng teaches! he’s not only VERY funny, he’s VERY insightful and knowledgable too! and guess wat! i didnt sleep a wink during lesson coz pst meng was just TOO FUNNY to sleep in. haha. mock cg test was postponed to 2 weeks later.
my team celebrated my bday too!! 1 month belated!! haha. but still, i was really surprised and really touched too!! THANKS TEAM 1!!! loves!!!! (((:
caught the movie IRONMAN with ade, nic, zhiyu and rox!! it’s such a nice movie!! everyone shld watch it!!! really GOOD!!!! (: walked around at PS… went into this build-a-bear shop where all of us went crazy! haha. took quite a few photos using nic’s camera! waiting for the photos to come in and i’ll upload them!! (:
TO NIC: photos plse!!! hehe. (:
went home, had dinner, watched some TV and i konked out! didnt even get to watch survivor!
anyway, at SOT ytd (fri), pst meng shared abt ironman. he talked abt how when ironman had to depend his life on this gadget (it replaced his heart) becoz without it, he wouldnt be able to live, ironman became much more humble. tho in my opinion, wat really humbled ironman was the very fact that he realised the weapons which he created were actually destroying many lives rather than benefitting anyone. but wat pst told us during SOT was that, we shld all learn to depend our lives on God.. like how ironman was dependent on that gadget for his life. similarly, we must all come to the realisation that without depending on God in our lives, there’s really nth much we can do and nth for us to live for!
so God, i pray that not once will i live by my own strength, but to live every single day by YOUR strength! (:
