Updates Updates

woohoo....long time no update liaoz.

Exams had finally finished. Yippee!

Praise God for blessing me with a 3 weeks temporary job @ the Singapore Design Festival. All thanks to Rina for introducing this lobang to me. God is good..this temp is important to me especially in this building fund period.

I'll finish my work on 5 Dec 07 and will be taking a short retreat at Bangkok from 6 Dec to 10 Dec with my uni friends. Haha it's onli 2 days away to Thailand!!! YEsssh. This breakaway is sort of a rest for me which I considered 2007 as a reasonably long and tiring year for me. (hees will share more on my 2007 reflections on the last week of Dec, stay tuned!)

I got back my exam results last tues. We were told that results will only b release on 5 Dec but it came earlier..so kind of like not prepared to check the results last week. But in the end, still took a peep at how I fared => hmmm all thanks to my curiousity..ooopss. Woohoo....my results to me I think is quite good considering that I had left the study arena for almost 5 years. God is good and I am pleased with my results. Will continue to strive for better results next semester.

This month had been great to me in terms of ministry. We had our Enrichment program weekend two weeks ago and I was given the opportunity to help santhi in some of the preparation. I had fun and enjoyed myself.

At the same time, a few of the bus captains from the north finally managed to organise an outing for our students together @ Bishan park during our COM period last week. It was a well organised event, the students enjoyed themselves, so does the teachers. Haha it was the first time ever since I joined JAMs that the buses from AMK, Yishun, TPY and Bishan came together for an activity. Due to our busy schedules, we creatively plan the outing via telephone conference in the night from 11pm onwards and we discussed till almost 2am for abt 3 days consecutively. Tiring u may say but it's all worth it considering the fact that it's all for the students. All of us felt satisfied especially seeing the students enjoyed themselves and this really gives us the motivation to organise another outing the next time.

Great week ahead!
God is good all the time. All the time, God is good. Amen!!

It's War week....

It's Monday!

Took my buyer behaviour paper last tues, should be quite ok :)

Going to take my Market Research paper later in the afternoon at 2pm. It's a very dry subject to study...haha still cant get some of the info in.

It's a busy week for me, have two more papers coming up on Wed and Fri respectively.

Didn't go for Jams last week...haha "pong-ten" from serving..oopps
Last Sat was Arise N Build weekend..haha managed to pledge an amount that God wanted me to give. Thought the amount this time is lower than my previous one (cos I'm now a full time student ma, not working), I'm trusting God to continue His provision. Keep on Keeping on, believe in faith!!!

Jiayou Jiayou Arghhhh Zhi!!!

Woolala

woohoo....10 more days to exams.
aiyaya got a lot of things to study n understand. :)

Hmm..this time I'm taking things rather easy. This is so unlike me as compared to the past durin Poly days where I will be like very "kan chiong". Haha guess I probably have "zhan da" (mature) le ba or it could be the stress tolerance trainings I had learnt durin my OCT period n in my times as a PC in the army. But I must thank God for the peace He has given to me. :)

Jams students are Olympics medal winners!!

Smilez?

Hmm...I havent been smiling and laughing as often as before.
My mouth like numb like that...very hard to open up and laugh.
Have I forgotten how to smile, laugh and be happy?

Realised that some of my close friends are also not smiling as happily as before...Is it becos of the cares of the world? is it becos of the regrets of yesterdays or the worries of tomorrows?

Quite saddening to see how people are affected by their cares, concerns, worries, disappointments and fears of life that eventually crippled or robbed them from being happy.

Arghh...cannot like that. We must "increase petrol", constantly tell ourselves to be happy, learn to relax, learn to see the positive side of life. Nothing in this world is too big or difficult for us to handle. The joy of the Lord is our strength.


Rev A.R Bernard said this:

Happiness is learning how to deal with the inevitable disappointments in life. When we are troubled, God stands ready and willing to protect us. Our responsibility of course, is to ask Him for protection. When we call upon him in heartfelt prayer, He will answer - in His own time and in accordance with His own perfect plan.

Life is often challengin, but we must not be afraid. God loves us and He will protect us. In times of hardship, He will comfort us,. In times of sorrwow, He will dry our tears. When we are troubled or weak or sorrowful, God is always with us. We must build our lives on the rock that cannot be shaken: we must trust in God and then we must get on with the hard work of tackling our problems.

(2 Cor 4:8) "We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;"

Let's do this everyday = Hahahahahaha!
