His eyes by steven curtis chapman Sometimes His eyes were gentle and filled with laughter And sometimes they cried Sometimes there was a fire of Holy anger In Jesus' eyes But the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless That saw through the fault to the need Are the same eyes that look down from heaven Into the deepest part of you and me And His eyes are always upon us His eyes never close in sleep And no matter where you go You will always be in His eyes In His eyes Sometimes His voice comes calling like rolling thunder Or like driving rain And sometimes His voice is quiet and we start to wonder If He knows our pain But He who spoke peace to the water Cares more for our hearts than the waves And the voice that once said, "You're forgiven." Still says, "You're forgiven", today Today Sometimes I look above me when stars are shining And I feel so small How could the God of heaven and all creation Know I'

i can't go for ipc now...coz i got design school orientation camp. bah. and apparently, the camp's messed up...according to joshua. or it won't be very great. so school starts 16th june. ahhh. ohwells. at least not like republic poly...started in may...eeps. i am typing too much rubbish. i should spend my time listening to music. as in, really listening. i need too. and oh. time to call the band. ahh. lalala ok. bye.

don't really feel like blogging, but anyway, will put down a little something... "i lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? my help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." - psalm 121:1,2

ok...let's continue the worry thing. seems like everyone is worrying (of course). worrying about the chinese o's. worrying about the future. worrying about the decisions they have to make. worrying about....blah blah blah what can we do with our worry? 1. turn our attention to God - God is in-charge! nothing is beyond the knowledge and control of God. worriers feel that things are out of control= that smtg terrible is about to happn(might happen) and they can't stop it. - 3 impt truths about God : 1. God is everywhere ...we can't get to a place where God is not. there is no place, no matter how alone we may feel, that God cannot be. he is everywhere! 2. God knows everything ...he knows how afraid we are, what scares us. the more worried we are, the more we act as if God were ignorant of our situation. we don't know the future. but God does. Hes knows how everything is going to turn out. [remember romans 8:28...all things work for the good of th

my favourite breakfast food is roti prata. the best : just cook one. :) so it's crispy. i guess it's my fav coz..i've been eating it for breakfast since young? [i mean, apart from the fact that roti prata IS delicious] coz just opposite my house were quite a few roti prata stalls. kosong. eat with sugar. yum yum. i think mark can fit one whole prata in his mouth. that time at uh...adam rd after jogging? dunno. or maybe he had to split it into 2 first.i split it into many many pieces. my mom used to tear them apart for my brother and i. my God is faithful and true. and so am i. geddit? geddit? i can only say that i'm faithful and true coz THAT'S MY NAME ! :) eh. ha

"what can i do with my worry?" by rbc ministries... found it quite interesting. so here's parts of it... what do we worry about? generally, 1. threats : physically threatened (safety), threatened by what others think of them. they want to look good and do well at all times. worry about being abandoned. 2. choices : many pple worry when they have to make a decision. they will do anything to avoid making a wrong choice. this is true even when they are faced with two good options....worried about making the wrong choice and ending up unhappy (haha. now now. why does this sound so...familiar?) 3. past experiences why do we worry? 1. because we're vulnerable : as human beings, we're susceptible to many things.... 2. because we become aware of our vulnerability 3. because we distrust God : confronted with our vulnerability, we have a choice. we can turn our safety over to God and trust Him with our pprehensions. or we can take our wel

ok.if anyone is thinking of buying a cd, but doesn't know what cd to buy...get this.... it's "new season, with israel and new breed". it's pretty cool. ok. it's really cool. the songs are great. uh, according to eugene, you need to know how to appreciate this kind of music la. as in, coz there's a lot of cool punches and chords and solos and blah blahs in it. =)yeaps.

qns set for interviewees trying for a job at microsoft courtesy of reader's digest 1) how do u make m&ms there is no acutal answer coz the employer doesnt even noe the answer. u r supposed to give some stupid answer that shows how creative u are 2) why r manhole covers round rather than sqaure. coz if its square, it will fall into the hole. n when the square is slid diagonally in, it cannot cover the hole. so the round cover is better 3) how to design bill gates' bathroom ask bill gates what he wants. then design it [coz they say smth abt serving your customers' needs and wdv] 4) mike and todd have $21 between them. mike has $20 more than todd. how much does each have? u cant use fractions. 0.5 and 21.50. but when i say its fractions. u r supposed to argue wif me that its decimals. n it has to be a strong argument. to show that u stand on your ground n defend your answers. pretty interesting huh?

"chengsu chengsu" - pheobe, from "friends" transalation : "smelly cat, smelly cat" jurassic park on tv now! before the jurassic park kind of dinosaurs, it was land before time! anybody remember "land before time"? baby dinosaurs trying to find their way to dunno blah blah. ah. haven't watched that in eons man. and before that, was those cranes that you see at construction sites. car rides...my mom would suddenly go, "aye! look! huihui! didi! look there! dinosaur!" hahahaha. yeaps. pretty cool ey. haha :)

there you go bardee. but uh, it's kinda blurred. yeaps the purpose driven life day 34 thinking like a servant being a servant requires a mental shift, a change in your attitude. 1. servants think about others more than themselves - true humility : not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less - phil 2:7 "(Jesus) made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant..." - don't try to use God for your purposes instead, let God use you for his purposes 2. servants think like stewards, not owners - remember that God owns it all - 1 cor 4:2 " ...be faithful to their master..." 3. servants think about their work, not what others are doing - don't compare, criticize or compete - don't comlpain of unfairness, pity yourselves, or resent those who don't serve. your service to Christ is never wasted, regardless of what others say (eg. mary pouring the most expensive perfume on Jesus' feet) 4. ser

HI BARDEE! how are you? here's one of the neoprints we took together ( i hardly take neoprints. i think they're mostly a waste of money. haha) at j8 after bells prac. ah. i miss handbells! i wanna play the syf songs together again.so fuuun! studying hard for chinese? chinese chinese chinese. then soon, tamil tamil tamil. har har. my bardee is a racist. actually, no la. she just tells racist jokes. rite bardee? bardee, you rock! melissarium and chinhuirium. whoohoo! *hugs*

the purpose driven life day 33 how real servants act (i like this lesson :)) "you can tell who they are by what they do" - matthew 7:16 Jesus measures in terms of service, not status. While you may be gifted at a particular task, you may be called to do it if no one gifted is around. primary ministry : where you're gifted secondary ministry : where you're needed (to myself : hmmm. ahhh. uh. ladidum~ ok. like, dotdotdot [hah! bardee! dotdotdot!]) anyone can be a servant :) 1. real servants make themselves available to serve - do what's needed, even when it's inconvenient - are you available to God anytime? - being a servant means giving up the right to control your schedule and allowing God to "interrupt" whenever he needs to - agenda each day : whatever God wants to bring into my life! 2. real servants pay attention to needs - when God puts someone in need right in front of you, he is giving you the opportunity

um. a part of the back of the back of my foolscap pad. i love this song =) "let me be a sweet sweet sound in your ears..."

and the back of my foolscap. roses - i went crazy drawing roses everywhere after mark taught me how to draw them. =)

the scanner's come home! and haha. this is fuuun! i'm just playing around. so, this is just a lil' smtg i drew. it might be the worship team's name soon. not sure.

Lord you are good and Your mercy endureth forever God did it on purpose. maaaaan. but He was nice about it. He didn't hit me so hard. Lord You are good and Your mercy endureth forever ah ah ah ah ah

i think i did about a thousand hula-hoop rounds continuously just now. muahaha. with this big pink hoop with this white stripe which twirks round the hoop that i've had since...as long as i can remember. STANLEY KOH XUE FENG hah! *sticks out tongue*

the stupid thing about studying for chinese is that you study just about a million words and then fill in the blanks...5 words. like, eh. i rather they give more words. that'd mean more chances of getting words i know! i jogged. my mom was super enthu about joining me but well, uh, i ran one round then she just met me at the end of the straight path la. she said i tortured her and it was the first time she sweat so much in 20 years. hahahahaha sally loh says smtg like, even if you make the wrong decision, God will still turn it for good. He looks at the motives and the attitude. :) i won't be able to come for band pracs so often and whatnots when school starts on 21st july! ahhh!!! sob. ohwells

4 days of the purpose driven life thingie here...be patient and read through it properly and those just decide to scan through coz it's so loonng. the purpose driven life day 27 defeating temptation 1. focus your attention on smtg else -don't fight the thought. every time you think about it, it gets driven deeper in. the more you think of smtg, the stronger it takes hold of you. so, ignore! 2. share with someone else (if it's a really beeeg temptation i guess) 3. resist the devil - he can only suggest. he can't force you 4. realize your vulnerability -1 cor 10:12 "...forget about self-confidence, it's useles...cultivate God-confidence..." day 28 it takes time (to grow) why it takes so long : - we are slow learners - we need repeated exposure - we have a lot to unlearn (hmm) - we are afraid to humbly face the truth about outselves - need humble, teachable attitude - growth is often painful and scary (sometime

In the Secret (Andy Park) In the secret in the quiet place In the stillness You are there In the secret in the quiet hour I wait only for You ’Cause I want to know You more I want to know You I want to hear Your voice I want to know You more I want to touch You I want to see Your face I want to know You more I am reaching for the highest goal That I might receive the prize Pressing onwards, pushing every hindrance aside Out of my way ’Cause I want to know You more :( i think that's the first time i'm putting a :( here. *shrug*

tired. haha. customers whole day long today. non-stop. washed dunno how many pple's hair today. you'd think that a person's hands would get tired from the washing. but surprisingly, no. it's the back that aches. coz like, gotta bend down a bit. and aniwae, i can always lean my elbows at the side. aunty mary had to watch her chinese show at 4.30 huh. when i wanted to watch my english show. i kept thinking...i want to smack her man. hahaha. and so, i was scolding myself a lot. haha. maaan. i'm so terrible. lalala... i don't feel like blogging anymore. byebye. :)

Lord I stand in the midst of a multitude Of those from every tribe and tongue We are Your people redeemed by Your blood Rescued from death by Your love There are no words Good enough to thank You There are no words to express my praise But I will lift up my voice And sing from my heart With all of my strength Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah To the Lamb Hallelujah hallelujah By the blood of Christ we stand Every tongue every tribe Every people every land Giving glory giving honor Giving praise unto the Lamb of God Lord we stand by grace in Your presence Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb We are Your children called by Your name Humbly we bow and we pray went for this prayer class thingie at church today the part where we blessed others was pretty good man :)

read psalm 34...it's a very nice psalm :) psalms have been popping up a lot. so maybe i should go and read psalms. :) i actually woke up early today. like, 40 mins early, by myself, like last week (even earlier actually). see, God helps even in the littlest littlest things. lalala lunch at fish and co. today. and next sunday too...ah. i couldn't finish my food. in england, i couldn't finish all my food..chinee had to finish almost all my food for me. haha. and talking about chinee. whee. it's may already. that means she's coming back like, next month! wow. fast man. :) gotta call bak kim ho and gotta go back to sae. grrr. oh yes. the sound stuff? ah. the studio. well, it's this small room. and there's this window facing in. well, there were this group of guys + one girl. and among them was this half crazed guy. ok. well, he was drunk. then he'd just stand at the window for a while. and look in. and lift up his bottle of whatever alcoho

the purpose driven life day 26 growing through temptation temptation simply provides the choice. God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. the proces of Character development involves choices, and temptaion provides that opportunity. eg. love : by putting unlovely pple around us joy : when we're in the midst of sorrow stuff like that how temptation works : 1. satan identifies a desire within you - temptation starts when satan suggests (with a thought) that you give in - we think that temptation lies around us, but God says it begins within us. if you didn't have the desire within, the temptation would not have been able to attract you. 2. doubt - satan tries to get you to doubt what God said about the sin 3. deception - satan is the "father of lies" -john 8:44 - a little sin is just like being a little pregnant...i

the purpose driven life day 25 tansformed by trouble " it is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of Godliness." - madame guyon God uses circumstances to develop our character God uses problems to draw you closer to himself. "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - psalm 34:18 Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will most likely be in your darkest days - when your hear is broken and you feel abandoned, the pain is great and you're our of options and you turn to God alone. it is during our suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest prayers. "when life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus by imitating Him and speaking about Him. but only in suffering will we KNOW Jesus." - joni eareckson tada everything that happens to a child of God is Father-flitered , and he intends to use it for good even when Satan and other

"...(blah blah blah bad whatever unhappy stuff happen.) what you really need is a period of feeling sorry for yourself, a day of mood swings so everyone knows how unlucky you are. but there's always some cheery, ever-pleasant person who wants to tell you to count your blessings and look on the bright side - after all, everycloud has a silver lining - but all you want to do is strangle him." jonathan brant writes in the "backstage pass to the bible" about philippians. "the main theme of philippians is joy. although Paul is in prison and could soon be executed, he is still joyful and unconcerned - to live is Christ, to die is gain (phi 1:12). He wants the Philippians to experience the same joy he has." i wanna be like that :) heh

my ear's at C weighted a lot. my mind shall be filled with good thoughts, and good thoughts only. good, happy, lovely, admirable, considerate, honest, helpful, holy, kind, noble, praiseworthy, proper, right, thougtful...ok. i'm like, typing from "the oxford children's thesaurus". heh :) it's nice to have time to think :) quiet moments that's why i walk home sometimes, like, when i get back at 10, 11+ time to be alone, with God :) i like this a lot a lot a lot :) "Be still and know that I am God." tralala friday night : band prac :) and then, stay over at sae studio. bah. baaaaah. bah bah black sheep have you any wool? yes sir yes sir. three bags full. patty patty patty khoo. andrea, the purpose driven youth min conference seems to be for leaders! as in, older leaders! i dunno. and is it subsidised :P but it seems quite cool...lots to learn :) He is exalted He is ex

God's Boxes I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be!" He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're all here with me." I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go." IPC...international prayer conference. 16th - 19th june. go! :) hi bardee! i love you! o

oh! i got my toby the turtle! hahahaha. yeaps. chinee's friend brought it back from england :) whee~

the purpose driven life day 24 transformed by truth spiritual growth is the process of replacing lies with truth. God's word, unlike any other word, is alove. when God speaks,m things change! abiding in God's word : 1. receive - listen and accept with an open, receptive attitude, our receptiveness determines whether God's word takes roots in our lives and bears fruit (parable of the sower - matthew 13) 2. read - daily 3. research - studying the bible...thinking about the stuff in it 4. remembering - if God's word is impt, you will take time to memorise it. 5. reflect - meditation, focused thinking (if you know how to worry, you know how to meditate =] ) "be doers of the word." - james 1:22 must apply it's principles! this is the hardest step coz Satan fights it so intensely... "if you hold on to my teaching, you are really my disciples. then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. " - john 8:31-32
