i havent been this excited about something in a while! (: i have a brillant plan for next semester and convention fundraising! i'm so eager to see how God can use me in this area and how God can use OCF this year to not only fundraise for convention, but to use their gifts and talents to really worship God! i think its gonna be GREAT and BIG!

heard this in joel's car today..

big things too - vegetales
Junior:
They're big
I'm little.
They go.
I twiddle.
Why can't little guys do big things too?

Archibald:
You're not going to sing, are you?
Couldn't you just play your harp and I'll throw things at you? Oh.

Junior:
You're big
I'm little.
My head only comes to your middle
But I say little guys can do big things too!

Archibald:
Yes, but...Goliath! He's...

Junior:
He's big
But God's bigger!
And when I think of Him that's when I figure
With His help little guys can do big things, too!

Archibald:
Oh. I see what you're saying!
Alright, I understand...
now let's suppose that this is true.
You still look rather wimpy, but I know what we can do!
Just step behind this curtain, it will only take a minute.
There's a closet in the corner and you'll like what I've got in it.
You'll find my royal armor there, don't dally, put it on!
Yes, now you'll look much bigger when the battle lines are drawn!
One more thing you'll need, I think - pick up my royal sword.
It's a big one, and a beauty!
The best we could afford!
Once you've got it all together, I think you will agree.
You're bound to do much better if you try to look like me!

Oh dear.

Junior:
Ya' know, I think maybe I should just be plain old me.

Archibald:
Oh. yes.
Well, I suppose,
But have you seen Goliath?
Why, he's...he's just...he's...

Junior:
He's big.
But God's bigger!
And when I think of him, that's what I figure...

Archibald:
With His help little guys can do big things?

Junior:
With His help I know I can do big things!

Both:
With His help little guys can do big things, too!!

Archibald:
Alright...
If you're sure you know what you're getting into.
Oh dear.

haha, so cute, the song!
but i like the part how it says, with His help little guys can do big things too (:

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength!" says Paul to the phillipians

i want to watch sex and the city (the movie) and prince caspian and they both come out before the exams ): boo.

and i had unsalty wang wangs for supper. yucks.

a shout of praise.
11:04 PM

... to praise the Lord!
i was feeling miserable the past few days.. but i'm happy again! (:

today work was demoralising. i've been struggling to not compromise being a christian at work, but alot of times i'm too stubborn to change my bad habits. i think at times my pride is too big to admit that i've made a mistake ): i guess my manager has been pretty gracious with me. i dont like it when i disappoint people though. everyone just gets into a tizzy and we all have to cover up that mistake with a thousand apologies and everything just gets messed up. hm.

oh and i found out that kate from work likes pink marshmallows and i love the white ones! we're gonna buy packets of marshmallows and share them from now on. ha.

exams are around the corner! just a couple more weeks.. ah stress! i havent started studying yet. i'm meant to start on monday! but i think i should start tmr instead because i foresee this week being very busy again. its a good thing that i reduced my hours to just saturdays nights now. so i have more nights to study late into. whoohoo. (but unlikely to study "late into" because the weather will be terribly awful next week, so there will be alot of sleeping involved. :S)

i need to do laundry soon. esha and i were talking about having a magical wand that will do things for us. like when she points at her lab report it will automatically write itself, and when i point at my computer all my lectopias will be done for me and all the information will be downloaded into my head, and i can point the wand at my overflowing laundry basket and all my laundry will be washed, dried and stored into my still very full cupboard. hmm. the perils of wet weather and 2 housemates. kidding. i'm just being lazy :P as always.

i watched the man u chelsea match thurs arvo when they replayed it cos i was asleep at 2.45am in the morning so i totally missed the match and the penalties were so intense! i was pretty disappointed with ronaldo cos he missed his penalty shot! my secret boyfriend was totally un-amazing. but i suppose i should be a more supportive secret girlfriend. haha! plus, i thought it was so hilarious when terry slipped and fell. that was such a huge relief because i thought we were going to lose.. (but of course i knew that we won anyway. just pressured from the penalties.. ha)

bible study was pretty good on friday. i'm glad that everyone's starting to warm up to each other and more willing to share without me having to arrow people. i really dont like doing that. the girls have been going strong with dg as well! i'm encouraged to see so many of them still so faithful turning up at dg even though school work is so heavy now..

we had alot of weird comments at bs lately. hahah! chok giving us body language 101 lessons about how if your knees point in one direction towards someone means you like the person! haha so rubbish! and we girls were talking about shopping, as usual. zhiqi's favourite topic (: country road and victoria secret sales. how i love only white marshmallows. how wonderful my cooking was on friday (: how josh sim has no mercy! (we did a spiritual gifts test recently and he had a perfect zero score for mercy! haha) i'm enjoying all these little conversations and i'm thankful our friendships within our bs group has been growing so far (: (:

busy bee! i should sleep otherwise i'll be dozing off during sermon tmr! and whoohoo! did i mention its kids style worship this sunday! i love kids style worship! why cant i be on this term for children's ministry! i'd be able to do the actions without feeling embarrassed. haha. oh well (:

night again!

i finished half of my BE assignment yay! i'm happy i know whats going on (: i feel so proud of myself. now just to wait for the BE midsem results. i think its coming out next week! yikes. i dont think i'll do very well, especially after he went through the answers.. but in any case, i feel accomplished because i sat down with malcolm and taught him the basics of econometrics. hopefully he passes!

BE is so hard, i kinda regret that i took it. i really dont understand whats going on! but it still beats finance, thats alot worse than BE. i'm also clueless in ITF, and i'm behind in myfinancelab! i have to finish it in 3 weeks and i have a lot to do since the midsem :S how quickly time passes when you have so much to do!

i dont like school.

i was talking to naomi from work a couple of weeks back about how difficult it is to juggle school and work (naomi studies postgrad education (: ) and we both had assignments and exams that we did so well in that we were amazed even how we managed to achieve it! i'm pretty sure it was all God's work not my own! my God has been so faithful to me!

i guess i should stop complaining about how bad school has been! at least i didnt have to survive a cyclone like the people in burma and china did. we were praying for burma and china last friday at OCF, and i guess one thing that really hit home was the question of why God allowed such a disaster to happen. and there was a particular prayer point about for the christians in burma and china, that they might stand strong in the midst of the chaos and struggle to believe that God had a bigger plan behind the suffering that they were facing and the challenge of staying close to God in this tough time. i think this point challenged me to think about me and my faith. i think, without a doubt, that if i were burmese or a chinese national i would i have struggled to find a cornerstone where i could firmly say that God is with me.

anyhoo. i've been very tired recently, i dont know whats wrong with my body. i slept 12 hours last night its crazy! i even missed the man u match cos i was so tired. i'm tired again now, and its only 12am! maybe its cos of the erratic weather (cold and hot and rainy and sunny all at the same time), maybe its because its starting to get dark at 5.30 again (the perils of winter), and i have school :s which makes me sleepy.

i think with regards to school i should start to face each trial of not giving up on my units but instead have hope that God will be able to provide my every need.

life is cruel sometimes, but like serene says, when life throws you sour lemons, make sweet lemonade! (:

Who am i
Who am i
That the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt

Who am i
That Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who i am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what i've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tommorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still You hear me when i'm calling
Lord You catch me when i'm falling
You told me who i am
i am Yours

Who am i
That the Eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again

Who am i
That the voice that calm the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

i was reminded of this song today. it humbles me to know that the God that created the universe cares for me, and wants to have a relationship with me, even though i have achieved nothing, even though i am broken, even though i am not perfect.

today was pretty eventful :) and i feel like a whole weight is lifted off my chest. i'm happy things have turned out the way it did today, and i think i need to thank God for His strength today. maybe things didn't exactly turn out the way i wanted it to, but perhaps i need to learn to trust God's plan for my life.

essay is due on friday! and i've got tons of things on this week especially tmr. school, DG, CBS leaders meeting, all almost back to back! ah! i think i only have thurs night to do it.. roar roar roar.

but yes, God is good and He will see me through the last 2 weeks of crazy assignments, then its time for a break, then crazy mugging again for finals.

btw i'm hungry :S

i dont like it when i'm filled with jealousy. it makes me get so uptight, down, quiet, stressed and filled with frustration ): its not a nice feeling...

in other news.. I PLAYED INTERCOLLEGE SOCCER FOR CURRIE HALL OVER THE WEEKEND! and i realise how unfit i am. my lungs hurt when i breathe, my hamstrings hurt when i walk, my armpits and shoulders are sore! probably the reason why i had 3 long naps today! but it was fun (: although i must say my eye-leg-ball coordination is quite bad. i liked my position, i play midfield on the right (that's my secret boyfriend's position! :D -if you didnt know who this is already its cristiano ronaldo heehee)

man u played on sunday too! i felt quite sad for ronaldo because he looked so upset everytime he didnt score.. but it was a good job on his part anyway. its all a team effort (i realise after playing soccer) and he is so fit! and cute, and hunky. (see picture above, ignore ferguson!) -swoons- he's my hero! :D (but giggs still saves the day anyway. hehe.) and we WON the premier league! see you on the 21st/22nd may champs match! red people will win the blue people! lalalalalala.

glory glory man united! :D

when life throws me a million and one things to put on my to do list, i tuck myself in bed and sleep wishing everything will just disappear, or i watch disney channel and live in my oblivion. this is not good. i have my BE midsem on friday, and i'm not even halfway through studying for it ):

somehow this week i have been relying on God's wonderful grace, something that i totally dont deserve, perhaps because of the minimal efforts that i have been putting into anything and everything. perhaps a not-so-nice way of putting it is that i have been half-hearted and lukewarm in the things that i do. yet God's grace never fails to amaze with the things that He has blessed me with or even the motivation to just keep going..

today we had bible study leaders' meeting on Daniel 3, and i was reflecting earlier in the day on Daniel 1 and 2 about how God is so determined to display His glory to His people, or maybe a better way to put it is that God wants so much for us to know His power and sovereignty in every situation, in every aspect of our lives, in every trial we face.

maybe my pessimistic and idealistic perspective needs abit of faith that by God's strength i complete more than i can imagine and i can keep moving on like a choo choo train (: slow, but steady, constant and never faltering, never doubting.

the past few weeks have gone by quite mechanically. its strange, i like spontaneity. i dont like sequences.. but then im starting to realise maybe i need some regularity because time just seems to fly out the window, and its saturday again, and i'm rushing dg materials, catching up on missed lectures (only because i had exam this week! disclaimer :P), getting ready for work and being there on time. everything just seems rushed and a blur.

maybe i'm just too packed with my time. too many things on my to do list. maybe its just about being organised.

i just wish i can do the things i enjoy doing.

read a book
talk to people
look at the sky (sunrise, sunset, stars)
travel
crossroads
and maybe some disney channel along the way :P

i want to savour the moment and enjoy the process.

or maybe i should just be happy to be blessed that i have the previlege to do so many things and just be try to be good at everything..

hmm.
