I like to think I'm made up of many things (not things but there isn't another word).

I need a packing list

WHY ARE MY EYES STILL SO RED. Maybe I'm spending too much time at the computer.

1:20 AM

Luvly

My throat feels extremely dry and painful. I need a glass of water but I'm so lazy I don't wish to get up. But I shall because I am thirsty. Drank a billion gulps of water and I'm refreshed now. Not really but at least better than before. Why do I get the feeling I won't get out of bed tomorrow? I'm so glad I get to go out. My phone is coming back soon I'm glad for that too. I abuse the phone I'm currently using more than I'd like to (sorry).

Anyway, I received the Pow Wow list of campers. Hope I won't have a hard time making sure everyone's on the bus. Darryl, Gideon and I are taking all the ARs. It'll be fun. Printer being cranky.

Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God

What is it to have a pure heart:

1. Living by the rule of God, living a life that is pleasing to God.
2. Living for the purpose of God, having a single-minded devotion to God.

Being pure in heart is impossible by our own human means. But it is made possible through Jesus:
"What is impossible for man is possible for God. A pure heart is a gift from God, and it comes by a new birth, by a new creation, and by the Spirit living in us."

This article cleared up a lot of what I was thinking about seeing God, as well. Seeing Him literally - our ultimate goal. To live this life the way He wants us to, or the way Jesus lived His, then living in eternity with the Father. I love You, Lord.

I'm still far away from honouring and glorifying You in everything I do, but I will do my hardest to because I love You. And at the end I want to hear you say, "Well done, good and faithful servant".

Vintner on ThePopSite

I won't leave blogger, long live auralreceptors. I'm finally done with the other site, though. Yay me.

Love is not self-seeking

I just realised, my being a fan of Nathan Hartono does affect a lot of things hahaa, and Tom Daley as well, in fact. And even Tom Felton. My heart suddenly had this ache - my thoughts drifted.

Like I mean, people will just text me or whatever to let me know if they know/see anything bout him. Kai Lin, for one, always tells me if she sees Nathan in a mag/newpaper. And well a billion people texted me during Beijing Olympics to tell me Daley was diving. And yesterday...... only Grace Koh texted me but at least she bothered to. Love you Grace. Not that I don't already know all these things - I'm the fan so I ought to, right? But it's so lovely to know people think of me when they see Daley diving, for example, or if they read an article bout him. Even my parents get excited for me, my maid also. Quite funny.

Thank goodness for drafts - my firefox crashed on me.

BELLE LOW WENG YI. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU. SHE JUST SHOWED ME THE CUTEST CHINA BOY PIC IN THE WORLD. SO UNFAIR. WHY AREN'T THERE ANY BOYS KAYAKING?

I am just kidding. Who needs boys to look at them drown. I almost drowned.. Not really. Just almost died of fear? I was supposed to do Eskimo Bow Rescue but I didn't feel the bow of Anthea's boat, so I couldn't breathe and just disembarked from my kayak, had to perform a tx rescue in the end. I still haven't really mastered that. Got a bruise, though. On my hand. And I have really weird tan lines. The whole seam of the sleeves I'm wearing is a line down my arm. It's faded a fair bit already.

I'm so glad my friends are back, I missed you guys so much. I need to get out of my house and walk on somewhere with cement beneath my feet... Sarimbun is such a disgusting place, they should do something about those flies. It's disgusting. That's an understatement... It's bloody disgusting. *Shudders*

Darryl's working @ a bookstore I can't believe it, I've always wanted to work in one. Can't wait to go and visit the store, it's at holland v. I need to pop down there to change my lesson anyway. Oh no I don't need I settled already. He says he'll recommend some erotic books to me... I hope to go down sometime next week before camp.

Tomorrow is Friday. Which means B and me are going to do our Friday activities. Candy store. *Smacks lips*

Alyssa - I love you.

I should be more helpful during kayaking sessions. Even though I'm so tired and ache-y. Everyone feels the same...... don't they? Of course not they don't miss people the way I do.

Mercutio is so horny

I can't help but smile at my title. It's true what they say, Secondary 2 is the best year ever. No kidding, it's amazing. Not that I'm even done with Secondary 4 - which I'm sure will be great in some aspects (can just cut queue) - but I'm pretty sure it'll be taxing to rush out SIAs and study so hard for JC.

I'm reading through my old posts, right from the beginning. I hate who I was, I was really irritating, shallow (Carrie you were right), and bloody proud. I was prouder than a peacock. I'm glad to be different now. I always thought there was never any kind or transformation in my life and always wondered why being a Christian doesn't seem to be changing me, but I just wasn't aware. I'm different now. Anyone begging to differ? I'm different, a new creation in the Lord - Praise the Lord!

Tammie Teo Kai Ning I miss you. I hope you'll see this. Better make bigger. In case you squint too much perfect eyesight gone, hahaha.

On quite another note, I just had to say this: I love you, Carrie. I know it's random and it's not like I was ever really close to you, but I'm glad to have you in my life. It has been great being around you in class, and being friends with you the past 3 years. I'm enjoying getting to know you more throughout this whole kayaking thing. Sorry about not being able to rescue you. You are very very funny, hahahahahahaha. Always making me laugh.

And yet another thing, check out what I found:

"I do want to be an AR commander but I can't bear to leave RK.
Oh well.
Whoever is reading please tag and answer this.
If you were me, would you choose to be an AR(Adventure rangers, 11-14 year olds [it's only 11-12 for outpost 20]) commander or an RK (Ranger kids, 5-7 year olds) commander.
Oh welllllllll."

It was such a dilemma for me then, I can't believe where I am now. I honestly never really thought I'd be where I am now. Doing DR (for whoever doesn't know, 8-10 year olds) never crossed my mind. I always thought if I were approached to move up, I'd flat out refuse. i love my RK too much, I only thought I would maybe do AR because I want to influence the young teens and influence them to continue to be a part of Rangers even after they leave the children church. Besides, being in charge of an AR patrol for camporama back in 08 fuelled that passion for preteens even more. They are so great. So you can imagine how funny it felt when I read this and thought, hey how come I'm doing DR next year? I really don't know, but I believe God's placing me in DR for a reason. When Ps Elaine asked me, I didn't even think, oh no, or hesitate, or anything. I just said sure, why not? Maybe because she asked me only awhile after DTC. I don't know. I just hope I'll do well. I'll miss the RK, so much. Elisse was really shocked about this. I was shocked at how shocked she was - she asked me out of the blue, so you're really going to do DR next year? I was taken aback because it was sudden, which means she was thinking about it. And that meant something to me so I thought for a bit before saying yeah, I guess (I dunno why I'm sharing my conversation). I always thought my passion was for little children, like really the young cute ones, but I think in many ways I'm starting to shift. Whatever happens, I'll just place my trust in God. And Graciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, 3 words for you: Kids are great.

Such a long paragraph. How tiresome to read.

Wow I talked about squash so much last time - hahahaha.

See this: "The younger one looks like a mini version of Nathan Hartono, hahah!" I HAVENT CHANGED MY VIEWS ONE BIT.

"Marshall saying, 'not stella'. 'What? I just said NOT stella, so maybe its about your poor listening skills, Ted."" bloody funny - one of my fav episodes, intervention.

"I happened to be at the potato sack so then there were hell a lot of styrofoam balls in my sock, I emptied in class.
Then I was supposed to sweep it away so I was too lazy and simply swept everything to the dustbin corner.
Our FM Dorcas was hilarious she went over and yelled at the top of her voice, 'WHO IS THE KUKU WHO MAKE ALL THE BEANS???!!!?!?!'" I LOL. DORCAS. U MADE MY DAY. (FROM SO LONG AGO BUT DAMN FUNNY)

"Pikin's really nice those plum sweets thing OH OKAY I JUST REALISED I CAN BLOG ABOUT SLEEPOVER HHAHAAH.
Better than pointless pikin talk right!" I'm quite funny ah. haha.

Click HERE, I cracked up like mad.. sigh. Check out B's pm. Loving the post after that too, hehe.

"Love love love,
Janessa (show u i rmb the degrees sign i used for math SIA last night is alt+0186 -> sorry dk why cant do. ps)" This is damn stupid. Haha.

Okay enough rubbish, my dad is singing 'excuse me' because he wants to upload pictures and videos from their HK trip.

Feeling so much better now.

What the hell is scried?

Something's.. missing

Romans 5:5
And hope does not disppoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

On The Highroad Of Surrender

Come close to Me. I have consolations for your soul that surpass your deepest grief. I have walked through the deepest waters, and I am with you as you experience your baptism of sorrow. It is the path that leads to the gate of glory, and the Father waits to greet you there. It is not heaven of which I speak. It is a blessedness of spirit given to those who have passed through tribulations and have set their feet on the highroad of absolute surrender. From this place there is no turning back

My child, do not flinch under My disciplines. I never send more than you can endure. Can you accept the cup of suffering as readily as you embrace joy? You can do so in greater degrees as your trust in me increases.

My love never fails, even when it brings you pain. It is in the patient endurance of affliction that the soul is seasoned with grace.

I love the 'poured out His love' part in Romans 5:5. God didn't just give us some love or poured love into our hearts He poured out his love. The word 'out' just forces us to realise how much God has given to us. Oh Lord, You love me so much. I want to trust You.

I can't TX rescue for nuts. I have no strength whatsoever. But I'll ask God for His strength, then I'll amaze every single one and show them what a great God my God is.

I feel like changing blogs. I've spent a long enough time here (my longest yet?). Maybe after 300 posts.
