happenings...

celebrated collin's 21st birthday today. went to an italian restaurant near bugis then we went for dessert at another italian restaurant. food was yummy! thank God for collin, the friendship we share and the moments we had together. it was fun catching up with the rest too. Lord, i pray that You'll watch over them and if ever they need purpose in life, that they'll look for You.

scuba diving with the 3 oldies. they really looked after me very well. saw a fish that was in the nemo show.. the one in the tank, who organised the 'ritual' for nemo to go through. saw cuttlefish too! and a huge bumhead fish.. it'll be long before the next trip. got to wait for desmond's nose to get well. thank you 3 of you for the diving trip as a birthday present! and the fabulous company! i've learnt something too: that to start a business, you don't really have to study. the more you study, the more afraid you are of failures.

little pictures of a favourite kid. brightened up my night. shan's birthday was yesterday. treated him to soup spoon today. the soup was good! his company too. rachel's birthday today. hope she decides to become a christian one day. jan finished her exams. yay! charissa still having exams. trust Him. like what she says, He's sovereign. emily can't meet me tmr.. was looking forward to it...

tests tests and more tests. studying studying and more studying. God, please help me be faithful in ministry. schoolwork is just overwhelming. haven't been doing anything well. studies not good, ministry not good, guitar not good, not much time spent with family and friends.. my modules this sem are so difficult. but as i think about it, would my grades be written with the eternal ink? don't think so. studies aren't eternal, so i don't have to pressure myself to do well. just study, and leave the rest to God. Lord, help me focus on eternal things...

even though things seem on top of my head, if i were to sit down and think about it, i know deep in my heart that God's going to see me through. and that brings true peace. thankfully i have Him in my life.

there are evil spirits in the world. but as a christian i don't have to be afraid because our God is greater. He'll protect me and be with me. (: the world is sinful. humans are full of violence and sometimes are really sick in the mind. Lord, this world needs You. looking forward to the day when He comes back again to restore this world to perfection...

help me to trust.
