Love, Your Dad. Almighty God

i have the narration that comes together with tis. otherwise, pls go to http://fathersloveletter.com/flltextenglish.html to listen and read at the same time. im just amazed at why God would love someone like me so much. His every being spells love. GOD IS LOVE! and He dun only love me, He loves each and everyone of us equally. this love letter is not only for me. but its for EVERYONE. and wonder why the God who created this WORLD would even care about small things like me. but hey He created me and you to be loved and experience Him, and in turn give all glory to Him. He loves us as much as He loves Jesus. and what can i offer back in return? my nothingness, to be used by Him to be made into something. comforted to know that He uses the weak to shame the strong, im weak i know. =))

okie. time to go out with mummy, sister, bro in law and baby! =)) haha. upcoming seniors retreat. hope its good!!

im all His =))

homestay+chc+frens

such a joy to stay at home.
i get wake up calls at 8am, 10am from the little baby.
but poor baby has to cry pretty long and LOUD before he can get my attention.
hahaha..aunty tired ma. bo bian!
haha. and i have learnt to feed him milk, attempted to burp him and changed his diapers for him too!! but ok the diapers were only filled with PEE kind. those with the shit still need somemore effort. haha =)) n i have helped his ah ma aka my mum URMM-SAI (go URMM URMMM URMMM to make baby shit). haha. and he's the funniest when he's so tired but he refuses to sleep or when he's so hungry but he refuses to drink! den he will cry and his tears will break my heart. so poor thing that little fella. oh n he learnt a new trick! taught by his great aunty. catch him in his good mood and say 'xiaoxiao!' he will SMILE!! he's so cuteeee!!!!
and i know my dear frens want more photos of him. haha. when i get back to hall! i forgot to bring the cable back home. haha.

went to city harvest with my bro just now. its amazing what God is doing in His life. trust me. i never thought he would actually go back to the Lord! call it little faith, small faith or no faith. haha. but never in my wildest dream would this have happened! and he's on fire for God now and all i can say is "GOd does wonders, you just got to believe in Him". trust in His perfect timing, trust in His good works and trust that everything under this sky that is happening (good or bad) are all in His control! and everything will work towards His glory and for His kingdom. my takeback from Pastor Kong is that to "Keep my focus and avoid distractions". there is a perfect timing for everything and i must keep focus on the task ahead. =)) there might be pains and sacrifices that i must make, but i have to keep my eye on the Lord and trust in His provision. =))

many things comin up tis hols. its gonna be exciting and great. but gonna make sure i catch up with many frens tis hols. i realised that i've neglected too many. sigh. the thing abt uni is that we're all too busy with projects and all the shit. no good! and i realised true frens are hard to come by, so we must take time to invest and treasure in the good ones around. always love. u cannot lose anything by loving someone.

im all His =))

its a different sem.

tis sem has just officially ended. and its been a great sem so far!! and i really thank God for that. its so different from last sem, where everything revolved around sports club and well sports club one more time. =)) not that its bad, it was tiring though. but STILL i must still say that i did like my time in sports club and made fabby frens! =)) but well this sem was different. had more time for myself. going to children's home, having my own room, making the choice of spending more time with some frens, crusades, family and dear baby yicheng. had sec. sch frens as classmates helped too. =) where u are really concerned about one another. its great!

its just a different sem where i chose to draw closer to God. tried to put Him on the throne in all i do. tried to prioritise Him above everything. tried to seek Him in decisions i made. of cos sometimes i fail, but there will be people around me to encourage me to press on. tis sem, i really did enjoy a personal walk with God. and im so glad that He chose me. and amazing things do happen when u trust God.

for the exams, i really felt Him leading me. tis sem's subjects were really bad. its absolutely disgusting. why? first there's TWO accounting modules, n i suck at accounting SO BADLY. den there's tax, and its NOT called TAX for nothing. its freaking taxing and its like biz law and i did so badly for biz law. and then there's some IT module. and yeps i did do badly for IT too. so its just a bad sem when each subject has about 2 projects each. =/ but guess what? God really works in ways i cant imagine. projects were cleared on time and we had time to study. and i really thank Him for helpin me plan my study timetable, where i was able to finish my studying on time and even had time for second revision. and that it was not that hard studying too! and i did manage to understand some accounting and now i really think accounting is NOT TOO BAD! i guess im placed in accounting for SOME reason that i don't know about. =)) but for the exams, though some papers were hard and i felt like crying, i had the peace and strength to press through.

and then i thank God for the frens that i have. amazing people whom im sure u know who u are. those that study with me, run with me, eat, talk, encourage and even BULLY. yeps. it made exam period less draining. =)) and even those outside ntu who remember me. i love all u pple from the bottom of my little heart. u guys have been prayed for by me! =))

ah. there's just too much thanksgiving. im just so happy this sem. it flew by and it is one of the best sem in ntu so far. =)) and im sure its all gonna get better!! =))

im all His =))

little short update on exam =))

its exam time time. so not much time to post up my thoughts and probably there really isn't much random thought these few days too. just thanking God and seeing how good He is to me, im glad. there's many thanksgiving tis exam. for all the great frens he placed in my life, all those tt study with me, go jogging with me, eat lunches and dinners, frens tt just msg or msn me outta the blue, sweet cards from sweet frens, all the joking and teasing. my wonderful family. and how He's bringing me thru this exam is amazing. i cannot cope without Him. and guess wat? im starting to find that accounting is really NOT THAT bad after all. im learning to deal with it. =))

and just realized recently how God has been 'talking' to me through my own prayers and that i didn't even realize! i think its awesome. cos such a brain like mind could have never thought of or dreamt of such prayers. but the Spirit leads =)).

life after exams look even better. cant wait!!

now show ur a foto of my nephew on his 2mths old. dear sister sent it to me. he looks super funny! he's fatter so he got NO MORE NECK!! muahahahah =)) changed since the last time i saw him!!

still ever so cute. back on tues to sayang him!! =))

im all His =))

exam time

come! let's count. we have been takin exams since we were in pri ONE. so thats 6 years in primary sch, 4 years in sec sch, 2 yrs in jc and 1 yr in uni already. and so that's a total of 13 years worth of exam experience! haha. and looking back at all these silly exams wat do u remember? haha. i remember my mum drilling me during primary sch, remember going for all the tuition and i remember sitting before all the exams with my eyes tightly shut in prayer. =)) God is indeed is good. i wasn't a Christian yet but He was still with me during those exams. i remember a tutor who gave me this exam prayer that went by "Dear God, please give me an quiet heart before examination start, let me remember what i've learnt.." and i just pray it. exams sucky. but at the end of it all, we can all testify to His faithfulness.

this sem is supposedly the xiongest of all that i've been thru. i hate accounting but i have TWO accounting modules this sem. i do badly for IT and i have ONE more IT module tis sem and i DETEST BIZ LAW but TAX is like BIZ LAW with all the Income TAx Act to remember! but somehow, im just not as STRESSED and PANICKY as last 2 sems. learnin to claim on His promise and trust in Him. no matter what is the outcome, im comforted to know that at least i leaned on Him. and well, this sem its time i do well. REALLY. =))

jia you to everybody who is studying! take time to rest too! as a brother reminded me out of the blue, our body is a Temple of God, so we must take care of it by resting too. =))

i'll be praying for all of us 'examined' pple. haha =))

im all His =))
