What's with the commotion at the tagboard?

Anyway, since wordpress has got a very efficient non-spamming system, I decided to make my blog public! Leave a tag if you want to be linked!

His joy comes in the morning.

Two nights ago, I came back home with a heavy heart, probably it was due to the many daunting workload that I have at hand, as well as things which I have yet settle. I thought I could get some load off my chest by breaking the news to my Mum regarding the meet-the-parents session, but instead of suggesting words of wisdom, she twisted the knife and piqued my feelings with her oppressive comments. Fail? 不及格就不要读啦, 直接去作工! 读到那么辛苦, haiya!

Thanks sheep for the words of reassurance at the cuppage staircase! The words may not be elaborate but they totally hit the jackpot! They sure made a whole lot of difference. I love you!

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

Fight strong, Xanthe, fight strong!

In my life, be lifted high

I had some free time earlier on, and I was as well feeling a tad nolstagic so I decided to use it to catch up with Rachel over MSN. I miss that girl loads! The conversation induced a form of excitement in me to want to grow up quicky and see everyone move into different sectors of the working world. I guess we will not be seeing each other anytime soon till we receive our first paycheck. Hopefully my ambition will come true so I can save on the airfares!

In the afternoon, I was talking to Chermaine, topic ranging somewhere along the line of salvation and discipleship. Incidentally, I saw this quote on Rachel's myspace.

It costs NOTHING to get saved, but EVERYTHING to be a disciple.

Yu Guo Tian Qing!

Probably to some I might appear to be living in clover; which obviously is not the real case here. My family's financial situation is pretty hideous, not because I am abashed of it, but perhaps I feel that I should not poke too much into the affairs of money. Our financial situation has always been fluctuating through the years and definitely there were times where I grew apprehensive about coping in the future. I did whatever I could, stringe on the aspect of materialism, to lighten my parent's financial burden. This was one of the reasons why I chose to go to JC instead of Poly.

God has been faithfully providing for my family even though they might not realise it. We may not have much, but we have enough to get by. I believe God has His plans and perhaps He wants to reach out to my family through these struggles. He has planted many opportunities but I often let my lack of courage impede this advancement. I feel the pinch whenever I see my dad fervently check out the HDB site daily for available resale flats, and when the outcome disappoints, he would gaze out of the windows while he smokes his lungs out. I want to let him know how this God of mine that can turn situations around, but whenever I attempt to take a step forward, I find myself retreating two steps back. I just could not pluck up my courage to do so. It flees whenever I need it, gah! Alright, I need to trust God in this.

Into Your hands, I commit again.

I wrote this in my notebook and got Anna to sign on it, to ensure that I abide by them.

I MUST:
1) SUBSTITUTE COMPUTER TIME WITH NEWSPAPER READING
2) STUDY FOR ALL TESTS
3) COMPLETE ALL TUTORIALS BEFORE TUTORIALS

The school implemented an optional night study programme for its students but I have not been able to fork out time because I have been doing ministry for the past few days. From what I have heard, the response was overwhelming and it proved to be pretty productive for most. Note: Definition of productivity differs with every individual. Perhaps I should set aside one day next week to conduct a pilot test for the programme!

I was supposed to have shepherding with Phoebe, Ren Ting and Jingwen but two of them had to rush off for class performance so I only managed to spend some time with Phoebe! Nicole tagged along as well and Phoebe sure had a rolling good time shepherding me!

This random thought came to my mind while I was having a party in the toilet. I am pretty sure life would be better off if we start living for others and stop thinking about ourselves all the time.

No turning back

The day before, I was out with Rachelle at Marina Square. For the first time in our lives, there were no pictures taken. That accrues to this post looking plain and mundane, with nothing but black and white text. However, this post does not dictate the amount of fun we had. Though our necks are shoulders were sore from our heavy bags and the walking to and fro, up and down, in and out of fitting rooms, I must say that our day was pretty fruiful! Our evening ended delightfully with a simple meal at Qi Ji restaurant.

Take my life, and all that I have to give
Take my world, and just inhabit all of me
Take my dreams, and make it assuredly yours
