Humans can never stop learning. We are constantly absorbing and taking in new things. As cliche as it may seem, we are just like sponges. I'm already close to the end of sem, but I still find myself learning something new each day - yes it's something to do with illustrator/photoshop, life of a mass commer! But you know as Christians, we also never stop learning. I just feel more amazed each time I get the answer to a question that I have and God's goodness just never stops!

Over the weekend, I went to a friend's church and wow, the worship was really awesome! I just sang my heart out and it was really uplifting! :) The pastor at the church then gave a message which was so apt for me. I truly believe that God has plans for us. He planned for me to go that church that saturday, for the pastor to preach whatever he had that very day I went. What I learnt in Sunday School also was a huge reminder for me. Faith as you all know, is just trusting something that cannot be seen, like believing in something that is unseen. Do we have faith in God or do we have faith in the prayer? Since young, I know that God gives 3 answers - yes/no/wait. Standard right. I hope that all of us can learn to have (more) faith in God first because it is He who plans out everything. It's a struggle to everyone because some people feel like there isn't a God but you know, when you just start to believe and know that Jesus is in control, and try to practise letting Him lead you, I can assure you, miraculous things will start to happen. This week, I'm just practising letting God lead my life. Surrendering my all to Him. I think I did mention below that most of my assignments are due this week, so hopefully by letting Him take charge instead of relying on my own strength, things will be better! :)

Finally, one project IS down today! There were hiccups lah, but do you know the huge BURDEN relieved once it was done?! Went to Renee's house to do project after that, hehehe had slack session (and htht duh lol) with them. I'm gonna miss them so much when the sem ends. Sigh pie. Tonight also need do work, confirm gonna stay up late again. AHH SO MUCH WORK! Need to rest rest rest. Ok time for me to go cook for my family now I love to cook bye :)

Hello friends! Thank God it's finally Friday! :) My day was good, like REALLY good! Today was sort of productive on the 'work' side. Managed to do some speech comm and socpsy and radio. Spent my afternoon taking videos (insta/vine) with Edward and Xiong Jing. Wah I cannot take it, it was super funny! Trust me, if you ever get to see the video, it's HILARIOUS! Gonna miss these 2 goofballs when class breaks! Sigh pie, there's so much work to be done and I feel like I don't know where to start! :o Wore my jersey today and I felt so unique in it lol! Bumped into Leon at Macs and he even asked me about my jersey leh! He said he knows SF 49-ers too :) (who knows if he really knows lol) 

OH OH must tell you all this story. So Jason Chen and Clara C came to NP today and I really wanted to see them. However I had to actually do my speech with the 2 guys and was rather disappointed about not being able to go see them in person. I kept seeing tweets about them and inside I was really dying to go see them! So I played 'Scissors Paper Stone' with XJ. If he wins, I'll go see them vice versa. True enough, he won! Sprinted to go find them and oh my, they are so stunning! I saw them with my very own eyes and they were right in front of me! Took a photo with Clara C and fangirled over her for like 1/2 hour and I got judged by my peers :( Anyway, memorable moment!

So anyway, wanna just share with you guys something. Today, Mary (not the real name) and I had a short sharing session. It was maybe like a short 15 minutes that Mary talked to me but I really felt kinda inspired. I was telling Mary about my personal experiences and thoughts and she also shared with me her feelings. While walking along just chatting, Mary suddenly told me that she feels I'm actually a confused girl. For real. She says she feels that I'm confused and lost and I don't know what to do. I kept pondering like why she said it and I actually felt like, eh you don't know what I'm going through so you can't say that to me, but obviously I didn't tell her.. However as I thought about it, I felt that what she said was kinda true. All this while (or at least for the past weeks) I've been so overwhelmed by my work. I neglected God. I was so focused on doing what I wanted to do, and not letting God lead me. Mary then started sharing with me about her church and encouraging me to let God lead my life. She gave me Bible verses and somehow I just have this sudden urge to really put God back. It's very difficult, for me lah, but I really hope I can be a better Christian and be the light that shines for Jesus :) Sigh pie, it's times like these when I really miss being in PL, when we always have devos and chapel to remind us. Matthew 19:26 - But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible." We cannot do all on our own, but God can help us! Hopefully reminders from Mary or from other friends can come more! Also, must learn not to keep using I I I, but more of You You You.

 clara c pretty lah :)

 KAERPERNICKING ALL DAY LONG

radio team :) 

Hello friends! :) I've been waking up at 6.30am for the past few days. In secondary school this timing was considered late for me but now, I'm just extremely exhausted plus I'm only surviving with that teeny tiny few hours of sleep. I cannot afford that!

Lol! Well, how has your week been so far? Most of my projects are due next week so now all my friends and I are rushing through our stuff. Thank God that I'm recovering already, the past few days have been bad because I feel like I'm straining to talk since I still sound nasal. Hopefully my usual voice will be back by next week so that I can do radio recordings! Since now we only have projects to do, we don't really have lessons anymore except for consultations with our teachers. I honestly feel sad because I'm gonna miss some of my teachers. They have really taught me so much and have played a huge part to the start of my poly life! 

Tomorrow's gonna be an exciting Friday! I'm finally wearing my Kaepernick jersey! My dad got it for me for my birthday, must ship from San Francisco! Anyway I'm extremely proud of this jersey :) Jason Chen and Clara C (YouTubers) are also going to be coming down to NP tomorrow! They are so talented, plus I like Jason Chen hehe ^^ Shall attempt to take a photo with him tomorrow! Kinda sad that the school term is coming to an end already, scary how 1 semester has just gone by like that and how August is already coming. Time, you need to slow down. Anyway I'm so tired already I think I'm just gonna stop here for today. Bye and nights guys :) 

thankful for them in many ways RADIO TEAM WE GONNA GET A! ^^

aiya stress but what to do, life must go on.

meeting my gee gee for a short while just now ^^ 

Hey all! Sigh pie, I've been down with flu for the past 2 days and it's just been horrible. At the final lap of the semester already, teachers telling us not to fall sick because we cannot afford it, but here I am, eating a bowl of tau suan because I don't have much appetite. Despite my awful misery, I'm glad the past few days have been good!

Friday was awesome! Ms Rebecca's mom and uncle came to class (lol) and I hope they have a good impression of us! It was really fun to have them and we took many photos as usual. Hopefully Fatin uploads them soon then I can get some of it hah! Spent my evening catching up with Hellictus, felt good being back with them. Sorry if I don't dinner as much with you all, I'm really very busy :( OH OH OH! Just remembered my super cool miracle. Ok so anyway, I have this little journalling book where I write all (or most) of the good things that have happened in my life, the things that God gave to me and well basically it's like a little diary. I was just going to pen down some thoughts on Friday, and was reading through some of my older thoughts. Came across something I wrote last September. It was after my 2 prelims and I got really horrible scores for my exams. I asked God to give me 15 points, even though I knew it was something challenging but realistically achievable at that time. I kept writing 15 15 15 15 15 on that page and just asked Him to give it to me. Looking back, He really did give it to me. I learnt that we shouldn't be afraid to ask God, for He will give. I mean, we have to also do our part lah, but don't be afraid to ask. I think we should also be faithful to God. During my O's I faithfully went to youth every Saturday, and just enjoyed every single moment basking in God's presence. So lesson for everyone: stay faithful to Him, don't waiver, ask God!

Went back to my Homebase yesterday, PL! It felt SO SO SO good to be back in the sheltering walls, and know that I'm always protected here. Seeing all the familiar faces really brought back so much memories - how my batch was the pioneer batch to go for OCIP, prom night, mugging together for exams and so many more! The best part of going back was seeing my J8. Going crazy with them was something I extremely miss. Spamming photos and taking each other's food, pushing each other around etc... Though we don't meet up as often anymore, but yesterday when we saw each other, it felt like we haven't been missing out on each other's lives. Things felt the same. Chilled with the gang at Nex our territory after that. Really thank God for them xoxo! Went to YF after that for IG, Khai Soon's cousin from UK came and taught us some stuff! Ollie Lee - go check his FB page and Sound Cloud! He's 18 and he's already composing his own songs, really talented guy! Nice guy to talk to also, we spent time talking about food and where he should go and eat, sadly I didn't go church today so couldn't talk more to him. Anyway, go check him out alright, really good!

Since I'm down for the weekend, I've been doing pretty much nothing except sleeping the entire day today. The medicine is really drowsy and I think it's starting to kick in again now. Shall go sleep now because I'm really very sleepy. Bye guys :) Will post more pictures when I have the time!

we are princess warriors, not damsels in distress <3

Hey all! Hope your mid-week day has ben going well! Finally the SocPsy test is over. Sigh pie, I should have studied harder for it, the paper was quite easy.. Oh well, ain't nobody got time to sob over a finished paper! Had a really rare chatting session with Xiong Jing and Fatin yesterday night. Supposed to discuss our radio project (which we did, but very little..) and ended up sharing about many things. I'm really glad I have them as friends whom I feel comfortable to share personal stuff to :) Then came along Renee and Edward and well you should realise by now that we just ended up talking, till about 1+am hah! Met up with them just now to do SocPsy project. Sigh, it's really not an easy task to interview people, especially foreigners.. But really thank God that he gave us (XJ, Chloe and I) a really awesome foreigner who was willing to entertain us! We were rejected like 2 to 3 times and were seriously quite desperate for an interviewee! Had a good time at Starbucks doing work after that, and not to mention having hthts again :) God has truly blessed me with good friends, and I really hope that good friends like them won't just be one of my other hi-bye friends come next semester, but rather we'll still bother to meet and study together and just chat and chat~ Can't wait to hang with them during the holidays! 4 more weeks WE CAN DO THIS! okie photo time lol

last friday 

girls just wanna have fun

at starbucks today yay

Yay here's to the weekend! W00H00! :) Lol. How has the week been for you guys? Finally done with my radio assignment, oh my, it was such a huge burden! Week after week, it's like I have either 1 assignment/test :( The following projects are major projects so must persevere on! :) Tomorrow's already Monday, so fast! Soon it'll be homecoming yay! So excited to see my J8 girls and my batch, all the familiar faces, oh and my teachers too! Then there's Interest Group too, mini jamming session hah!

Learnt something again in Sunday School today. As Christians, or even

as humans-in-nature, we tend to forget things. Don't ask me why, we just forget and it's part of life. I learnt that we should have a habit of jotting down amazing experiences with God. I actually do that sometimes, like when there is a super awesome moment I had that I felt Him with me! By doing this, it kind of helps us to strengthen our faith, because we slowly start to realise that hey, God IS doing something to me! Also, we should be more conscious to repent. Acknowledging our guilt is something we all have trouble with. Come on, we're all born sinners. But we need to know that we have done wrong, be it knowingly or unknowingly. Jesus won't be angry forever, however we must remember to come to Him and admit. Kinda glad I'm learning more each week, even though I already knew all these but now, it seems to be 'hitting' me more hah!

So this afternoon, I read on CNA and online about Cory Monteith's death. I'm really in shock. Even till now. I feel like I want to cry. This feels a little crazy. I'm not a Gleek and I didn't follow the latest season of Glee. But I have watched the first 3 seasons faithfully and have their songs in my phone. Season 5 is currently in the filming process now (if I'm not wrong). The photoshoot for S5 is also already out. And Cory 'Finn' is in it. I wonder how they are gonna incorporate his death in the show. I sincerely hope that they won't come up with some lame statement saying he just left, but rather tell everyone that he is really gone and he won't be back. He was such a talented actor and drummer, and he is super handsome and sweet. Not to mention tall and so well-built. Kinda seems to be the 'ideal one'. Lea Michele and him were one of the perfect couples. I feel so sorry for her now. She has to go through the heartache, of initially marrying him in 2 weeks to now having to go through a funeral. He was one of my favourite actors in Glee and I really am going to miss his awkward dancing in the show. Just feeling really sad now, strangely. RIP Cory Monteith (1982-2013).

We're halfway through this crazy busy week! Ahh, today was really long. Spent 6 hours, 6 HOURS OK, on our radio sound effects assignment. My eyes hurt from staring at the 30 over sound effects and having to edit it. Life as a mass comm-er truly isn't easy, but I guess that's what all the stress helps us to become - strong, persistent people who are willing to just fight till the end despite all the difficult work and nonsense. I have 6 major projects due in about 4 weeks time, that is seriously a whole lot of work to juggle. Nevermind, having my faith placed in Jesus because I know He is with me through this entire time! ^^ Guess tonight is going to be another long night... Nonetheless, thankful to have sort of ended the day with them below, this crazy bunch of people! (- Megan & Renee :( ) 

Hang in there everyone who's feeling so drained! (such an applicable quote)

why is edward so weird...

 then now fatin also another one...

bye bye!

the leap of faith :)

Hello guys! Ahh, here we are again, beginning a new week once more. How has everyone been? My goodness, thank God that this week I only have 1 assignment (that I know of lol) that is due! The rest are all my major projects. You know, I really absolutely give God all the glory and thanksgiving because when I received my marks for certain tests that I did better than expected. It's really God's blessing lah! 

Just want to share a few thoughts on my Sunday School lesson today. So we studied Jeremiah 1 today. Coincidentally, messages for the next month/s would also be on Jeremiah! *God's plan see...* Well, young Jeremiah being only a youth, was appointed by God to be a prophet. He could not give up that "job" or escape from it in any other way. He just had to place his faith in God. Faith is having complete trust or confidence in someone/something that cannot be seen. Hmm, this seems very hard to apply right? Because we cannot see that object/person. As a Christian, I do doubt at times, more when I'm struggling with things or I'm just uncertain about issues. What I can apply from today's lesson, is that we just have to have more faith - to know that God is always and forever in control of everything. He already has everything planned out for us. I learnt that with more uncertainty in life, we start to pray more, we start to have more faith in God. When we do things within our comfort zone, we tend to be more comfortable (duh) with the situation and honestly, some of us may feel that with/without God, we can do it because we ARE in our comfort zone. However, once out of our comfort zone, we tend to be more reliant on faith as compared to when we are in. Hope I'm making sense to you guys. But yeah, this is real. Well, hopefully we can be more dependant on God and have faith that Jesus is our rock! 

Goal of the week for me: have more faith and trust that everything happens for a reason, and God is really with me all the time! ^^ 

let's just have some faith, trust and pixie dust yeah hehe! 

overdue :o

 last week when charmiane brought monsters u gummies for us!

 ALL CHEESE LOVERS SHOULD HAVE THIS AT HOME! it's seriously the best thing invented, cheese in a can yum yum ^^ 

fellowship with the makan group on tuesday! :)

#thatPOWER

HELLO EVERYBODY! It's been a few days since I last blogged, and I am so exhausted from school! I have many major projects due like in the next few weeks, and all of them have huge weightages since FMS is a school that has non-examinable modules (ok most of them aren't examinable but well, WOOHOO!) I feel like I've been slacking a little the past few days :( Sigh. Well, I guess now I AM starting to feel the stress but I know Jesus is gonna provide me with strength and I can definitely do this with His help! *amen* 

You know, I am really super thankful for my church friends. Having known them for many years, it's only through the past few years that I really got to know them even better and I've this unexplainable bond with them. If you guys don't know, basically my gang in church consists of all guys one year older than me and I'm like the little princess (HAHA) in the group! It is kind of good because when I go out with them, I won't get bullied or trampled by other people because I know they will all protect me! ^^ (bimbo moment) But yeah, I just find it so easy to talk to them, and we can always joke about anything and everything! What makes it amazing to me (recently I've come to realise) is how the 6 of us sort of just came together in secondary school and despite being the only girl (younger than them as well) they sort of accepted me into their little circle! Until now, our group is still a family I really love deep down in my heart :) 

Ok so... Meeting my church friends after a long day at school is definitely something I always look out to! Met up with the makan group on Tuesday and thank God for really blessing our fellowship! This has sort of become a monthly affair and is a dinner I will always look forward to! (sorry I'll post pictures another time!) And I met up with them again today because one of my friends wanted to buy shirts so it was another short meetup yay! 

Classes have been alright so far, just have to hang in there a while more and then soon it'll be holidays again haha! It seriously scares me how time is flying by so fast. *Please God, slow time down a little, I want to enjoy myself* Alright, back to doing work and studying! Bye bye all :)
