I feel like a Winner.

"Our God is an awesome God He Reigns,
From heaven above with wisdom, power and love,
Our God is an awesome God."

Yesteday, was our first time in 'A' div for debate.
We lost to MGS by a point. 1 point.

Thank God for an awesome start to the season.

Exhausted but Happy.

This past week (the week that has just passed) has got to be THE MOST HECTIC and DRAINING week i've ever had in my entire life. I am not going to go on and ramble about the week but instead i'll just tell you what i enjoyed the most.

Yesterday, on Friday, after band my friends and i went down to vivo to have dinner, to you know relax and unwind. After dinner, we went up onto the roof of vivo.
It was magnificent.
Okay maybe the skyline wasn't exactly picture perfect and all.
But the conversations and the wind made everything feel alright.
It was as if for that moment all my troubles and anxieties were gone with the wind as we went on talking. (God knows i needed that)
And so....THAT, was the most enjoyable thing of my stressful cum hectic cum draining week.
Its like the simple things such as hanging out with a bunch of your friends, talking and letting the wind blow in your face that really relaxes you and cheers you up.
Not heavy duty playing of the PSP or something.

And so, i am thankful for that. =)
Thank God for that.

You Know You're Sec 3 When......

Your bag is too small to hold all your books.
I just packed my bag and its exploding.
I need a bigger bag.

So its 2009......

That was fast wasn't it?
Since we entered 2009 i've been so busy.
Like REAL busy.
School, Sec 1 orientation (which i use to resent but now have almost come to terms with it but still..), church and all that.
School's really hectic though.
From marching in CCA to asking questions in (Ms) Terri Tan's class (BIO!! Which by the way TOTALLY ROCKS.)
So far so many things have happened that,
Its almost like a blur now.
Can't really recall.
Oh and yes today,
We went to Nat's house to celebrate her birthday.
I thought it was fun.
Her house was nice.
Real big, windy, kinda like the open concept.
Nat was such a gracious host.
We were the almost-obnoxious guests.
But yeah it was fun.
Oh and yesterday we had Undignified.
Which was REAL fun.
Nowadays i realise i encounter through learning more,
Rather than feeling.
Which is a good thing sometimes.
Like theres alot of input.
Good Input.

Tomorrow i've school, than dental appointment than band.
In the right order.
Hope tomorrow will be fun.
Fun.fun.fun.

(oh my i sound so unenthusiastic about it and i wonder why.)

Wrapped In Your Arms - FireFlight.


Wrapped In Your Arms - Fireflight

Is this the whole picture
Or is it just the start?
Is this the way you love me?
You're capturing my heart
I used to try and walk alone
But I've begun to grow
And when you tell me just to rest
I'm finally letting go
I let go

And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know, I'm ok
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in your arms.... I'm home

I'm seeing so much clearer
Looking through your eyes
I could never find a safer place
Even if I tried
All the times I've needed you
You've never left my side
I'm clinging to your every word
Don't ever let me go
Don't let go

The Things We do @ campFREE:



Found this picture so hilarious i had to put it here.
By the way thats a torn raw chicken (dead already of course) that i am holding.
As you can see i am sighing in disapproval.

Theology.

The Study of God.
The Study of the One who created this:



Just Amazing.
Simple So Amazing.
Come to think of it why don't we study "Theology" in school?
I bet it will also help to explain geography. And history.
And Biology. And Chemistry. And Physics.
And.......................

camppyFREEY

Hmmm.
Theres something really amazing about watching people bawling their eyes out on bended knees in worship. Really there is. You know for sure without a hint of doubt that something is happening. Something that we cannot visually see with our physical eyes, is happening.
Or perhaps more like something is STIRRING.
How was campFREE?
It was PHENOMENAL.
And the most phenomenal thing about it, wasn't just what had happened at the camp.
It is what was and is to follow, after the camp.
Thats the most phenomenal thing, because it has a LASTING eternal effect on people's lives.

For most camps that i've personally been to, they always like david said have this standard, trademark "ATSL" night. (ATSL by the way stands for As The Spirit Leads).
And the campers all go like Spiritually 'high' and all that.
Than, after the camp when they return back to their oh so mundane lives, they just get stuck into that cycle of the world.
But i don't know for me, this camp, campFREE has a lasting effect.
Its not just about what happens at the camp but its about what happens AFTER the camp that is REALLY important.
Its about CHOOSING DAILY.
Its about the choices we make in everyday life that make the difference.
An encounter with God is somewhat 'useless' if your life doesn't change after that.
Yeah sure you can bawl your eyeballs out during worship like nobody's business and still, the very next day, swear. Cuss. Get drunk. Idolize your favourite hot male/female stars. Fantasize about them.

So to me, personally, one of the many things i've learnt at campFREE is what i am going to do with my life after campFREE.
Whether i choose to live the same way, or choose to never be the same ever again and choose God. (Life)
"Life is about choices" - probably by someone who says cliche stuff? Haha.
But its really true.

Ever since campFREE, i've REALLY started to get excited.
Getting excited for the things God is gonna do.
What God can do, and what God is GONNA do.
The possibilities are endless. (No really they are.)
What i've learnt over the camp and these few days cannot be contained into this blogpost.
Its.... somewhat.....
Really hard to pen down SO MANY things all at one go.
Its like.... you know you have so much things to say to a friend you've never seen in like 10 years and than when you finally see her/him, you just start babbling???
Yes its sort of like that.
But all in all,
At the end of the day all can say, or all i wanna say should be something like.....
Whoa.
When things are too much to take in all at once..... you just go WHOA.

Get excited for what God can do for you. ;)
So,
Cheers!

Superman!

Returns...........



Whoa.
I just watched Superman again.
And to be honest i enjoyed it more the 2nd time round.
Brandon Routh really is the BEST casted actor for SUPERMAN.
Yeah sure, everyone always compares him to christopher reeve and everything...
But still, i think Brandon is the best.
He just has this 'coolness' and 'calm-ness' thing about him.
Everytime he has a scene, it always is very chaotic, but whenever he arrives...
Its like "whoa......" So quiet. Its like this tranquility just sets in amidst all the chaos.
Its so cool, its amazing.
The first time i watched "Superman Returns" i also thought that the actor casted wasn't good enough.
But i guess its the sort of thing that you have to watch a few more times before it finally catches on.
And oh boy, did it catch on.
Brandon Routh really is SUPER.


Wouldn't you agree too?

If you haven't bought me a present yet....

You might want to consider this:

Haha isn't this just hilarious?!?!
This is to me,
One of the funniest sms conversation in the entire universe.

Merry Christmas!

Oh man.
I can't believe it, christmas has past.
Just like that.
GONE!
And before you know it, it is next year.
Oh gosh.. no!!!!
Time is just slipping through our hands and theres nothing we can do about it.
I dont like it one bit.
I am not sure if i am ready for the next year!
Ah.. there will be so many things to do when school officially opens again.
Yeah but you know what,
Who cares, thats next year.
I shan't worry.
Instead i shall savour the very last of 2008.
Every little bit of it.
So heres to all readers and everyone in cyberspace:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
(yes i know its like a day late, but hey! it still counts right?)

Yesterday i went for service and it WAS SO CROWDED.
More crowded than a crowd of crowds man....
And because i came late, i had to sit at B1.
Which felt like a waiting room for the doctor's or dentist's.
The TV was on very soft and everyone didnt appear interested in what was going on.
Maybe, accept a hand full.
So than after the service ended,
I fought through the streaming crowd that was coming out of the sanctury, to go in to see my friends.
In the end, i met em.
Wished em.
Gave em. (presents of course...)
And thats the end.

It was a tiny bit weird, cause... it just didn't feel like christmas.
I don't know why either.
