GOSH.

was really worried over my results!
fell sick on the day i took the paper...so sian lor~
& this paper is ex!! ($300!)
i know i will be ultra sad if i fail the paper.

--> i wasted $300.
--> God is telling me something. (something btw me & God! hees~)

let me break down the results.

Listening - 8.5
Reading - 7.0
Writing - 6.0
Speaking - 7.5
Overall ----->>>> 7.5!!!

thank you God for your faithfulness & your grace upon me!!!!! :)

i had a tough morning.
assist Dr Ang without any senior nurse.
& Dr Ang started clinic without his nurse.
i enter the room to realise i was alone. (*PULL HAIR*)
screwed up alot of stuff.....
but Dr Ang is super well-known to be a good doc. (*cheer!*)
He didn't look into my mistakes but gently & patiently coach me.
i kept apologising but he said it is not my fault.
actually.....there was suppose to be another senior nurse to guide me.
BUT SHE CAME LATE. (& super well known to MIA often)
well, i thought i was about to explode the moment i saw her....but i felt relief. :)
i thought my day will be screwed....
but who knows!
my mom called me when i was buying drink.
& yes, that's when i knew my result! ^^

i am going to start applying uni soon.

Pray for the little one.

just heard the news that one of the 6 year old boy from HopeKids is diagnose with liver cancer.
duno which stage as the results are not out. (but wat is confirm is...is not stage 1).
his parents are not Christian,
the boy himself is not aware of his own condition,
his elder bro is not told abt his little bro's condition (coz elder bro having prelims for PSLE),
LETS all pray for this boy & family.
@ this point, it's beyond wat human can do. So lets all leave it to God.

Yesterday watch 'The Dark Knight' with Zi-Chieng.
I love how Heath Ledger acted.
the climax is done brilliantly.
the filming was crazy. but if blew me off..
I like the ending line of the whole movie,
"Batman is not a hero. But he is & will be the night silent guardian of Gotham forever."
2hrs plus movie. worth it.

the conversation i have with Zi-Chieng was really interesting.
from investing in wines to family.
hope to her meet up her more to talk more! :)

today cg was fruitful.
i love the moments we shared about our life.
the teaching given was refreshing.
just tt have to apply wat we responded.
lol.

People is all God love.
discipleship is wat He wants every Christian to do.
- lead & guidespiritual authority is given
- people-person minded
- influencing
What is leadership to you?

::I will continue to be the silent guardian::

HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE :)

i like this new skin.
i think it makes my blog looks very neat. ^^ dun u think so?

anyway,
my heart is really troubled.
i am so tired but i can't sleep.
i was reading pastor steven furtick's blog when i came across this post.
titled: Helping God Out.

King Saul tried to help God out: he got tired of waiting for Samuel to offer the sacrifice, and decided to take care of business himself.
(Study 1 Samuel 13:7-14)
In his panic, he set off a chain reaction of events that led to his downfall.
His intentions were understandable. After all, God had promised him victory over his enemies. He was simply trying to expedite the process and make sure that God didn’t miss His deadline.

I’ve seen lots of people get in heaps of trouble in their attempts to give God a helping hand.

I’ve seen terrific girls marry complete losers because they got tired of waiting for God to send the right man into their lives. So they take their chances with the best available option, figuring they’ll fix him up. And boy, do they pay a high price for their impatience.

I’ve seen couples try to enjoy a standard of living that’s way over their heads in the first year of marriage, accumulating debt that delayed their financial freedom for decades to come.
God’s plan was to bless them incrementally as they earned, gave, and saved wisely…they just couldn’t wait. God’s way was too tedious…they wanted to be blessed right now!

God doesn’t need our help. He desires our obedient cooperation.

If you’re going to expect God’s best, you’ll have to do it God’s way.

wat speaks to me so much is not when my Mr Right will come but the bold words below...

If you’re going to expect God’s best, you’ll have to do it God’s way..

If you’re going to expect God’s best, you’ll have to do it God’s way...

If you’re going to expect God’s best, you’ll have to do it God’s way!!!!!!!

what is God's best & knowing whether is it really the best for me when leaders decide?
I am sorry but God, can you enlighten me?
not out of man's decision but Your guidance that will help me in making the RIGHT decision.

Centre of my life
Let my walk speak loud
And my words be true
Let my life be whole
With my eyes on you
Lord I'm stepping out
From the comfort zone
Letting go of me,
Holding onto You

Freedom comes
When I call You Lord
You are Lord my God

You are the centre of it all,
The universe declares in awe
Your majesty
I surrender all
I make you
The centre of my life
Lord, I respond with all I am
you placed in me the song
Of heavens melody
Your Majesty
I live to sing Your song

I have found Your peace
It replaces any fear
You have done it all
I can trust in you
So I'm stepping out
From the comfort zone
Letting go of me
Holding onto you

This is your song not mine
It is your song that brings healing to this land
This is your song not mine
It is your song that brings feedom
Freedom comes, when I call you Lord
Freedom comes, when I call you Lord
You are Lord, my God
You are the song
You are the majesty
I live to sing your song
Your majesty
I live to sing Your song

Today, Last night, Tues night

took mc for the day to go see the doc.
finally my laziness couldn't stop me.
went to get mc & meds for my throat inflammation
then to the dentists to get an ulcer cream for the swollen gum & flap that had bothered me
on & off since march.
money spent alot on both visit. -.-

just read finish
"My Sister's Keeper"

the ending brought me to tears.
very well written.
but honestly i thought it was kinda predictable that Anna will die.
however, the twist in the story is really sad. VERY sad.
if i wasn't in the clinic waiting for my turn to see the doc, i think i will cry loudly.
(if my english is good, i will want to explore into writing.)

anyway yesterday had a great catch up with Hannah.
a catch up that both of us were looking forward.
finally, it came. :)
i treated her to korean food.
then we walk around far east.
was tempted to buy alot of things. lol.
during dinner, hannah ask me to go Melbourne and work
so that both of us can stay together while she study in La Trobe U.
she mention that she is willing to give up the advance dip & go Aust to get her degree.
as long as i think of going to Melbourne to work.
honestly, i am very keen to serve with Hannah.
i am tempted with the idea.
but wat if God wants me to serve in perth?
anyway i got 6 months plus to think through. ^^
but hannah, just to let you knw, i am keen. really really keen!
i was alittle lost in this friendship to be honest coz it seems like we are drifting.
i guess hannah girl knows it too.
but yesterday's meeting up really help me to realise that our friendship really got God in it.
with this, i could spent time with her with joy in my heart.
thank you God for this friend :)

tues night met up joyce for shepherding.
ask her abt TSPT meeting & there i got a unconfirm news that got me all so worked up.
yeap, i whined again.
after cooling down, i promise joyce that never will i want to be involve & talk abt it ever again.
i am just so hot-tempered. lol.
then we went to star bucks to have a chat.
a chat that had us brought closer. i think? haha!
i think i like & enjoy talking to joyce. ^^
& finally chieng can go to a cg.
so so glad. :)

anyway here are some pics to end off.

thanks to georgia, we went to these places for free.
we get to see the interesting places of Sentosa.
after watching Songs of the sea, i am really proud that Georgia is doing great in her area. :)
i am just amazed how God open so so many doors for her to go into.
using someone simple to win the arts people for God.
its true abt God opposes the proud but favours the humble. ^^

[being true to You]

feeling the heat

i had a great time yesterday @ sentosa with georgia & pengz!
lol.
i only can say is sentosa has become a very high tech place. :)

*Girl, you gotta come ar! haha!!

last night met up with ex-company ppl for dinner.
though it was EX but it was worth it coz honestly, i miss them alot.
i had LOTS of fun hearing their conversion about certain directors & AP working style,
the different local productions impaction on Singaporeans,
&....the latest commotion.
ALOT of ppl want 一却完美 (part 2)! (check out http://uperfectcut.blogspot.com/)
we were talking should WAWA wana do...
i honestly think no.
apart from finding back the same casts which is not really easy,
part 2 might lose its flavour.
we thought that part 1 is enough. short & gd ending.
i am proud that i had a part in this filming
& ppl think good of this show.
reading from newspaper, magazines, WAWA has the great potential to produce ALOT more of gd local productions!
MOVIE - their dream!
i will pray for a day that a great movie will be out by WAWA!

i nv regret choosing back nursing,
i nv regret going into WAWA to try out productions,
all these, i believe God wants me to experience & grow more in my life. :)

today is one of the days that i can wake up at 12pm
laze around at home
& prepare myself for service! :)

last night while laying on my bed,
i had a sudden fear that i won't be able to take care of my new 'sheep'.
will i b able to feed her?

how & where should i start from?
ya da ya da ya da.........

then suddenly,
i think God change my thought completely.

& the sudden confidence came suddenly.
it was a weird feeling...
but bcoz of this, i was able to sleep well.

today's oral test was a blast!
i was on topics that i was very familiar on!!!
music performances & cultural performances.
it was really GOD who guided me through!
not only He guided my answers clearly,
He also preserved my health.
during the test, i felt that my fever, headache & cough were gone!!!!
though it came back after tt. lol....
hope i will pass the english test to enter the university!!!

seems like a lot is coming.
i am thrilled at the same time afraid.
