i find that love and relationship is a topic that is never ending and people never get bored and sick of talking about it! personally, i lovvvee reading about how people fall in love or looking at the awesome photos that ant and jono take. it helps me paint my perspective of love and that love isnt all airy fairy, unobtainable but instead, i see and know how love is really all around!
God has been opening my eyes to alot of things and i simply love it!
currently, i feel like i'm on a path where it's time for me to dig deeper and let my roots grow further in the things of God. i know that i am walking in my prophetic destiny! this is the season where i duno where i'm heading but i know God is in control and he is leading the way. it's awesome u know, that everyday, you get up and the God of heaven and earth has your day planned out! Surprises are around the corner! mann. how awesome is that!
but anway, not so much about me. i've been having 3 weeks break currently and i have the priviledge of catching up with people. and the greatest thing is that i am approached by people this time! i wasnt the one asking people out and going hey u wanna catch up. instead the other party thought of me! <3
i love our conversations and i love being able to impart into these people. i love hanging out with old friends and seeing how far we've come after all these years. when i do take the time to reflect and think about such things, mann, i'm overwhelmed by the people i'm surrounded with. it encourages me!
recently, my best friend was going through a hard time. and i just found out. my fault for not keeping in touch. but i love how God strings things together. everything that i had been through in the past, big and small now comes into perspective. I spoke to her and encouraged her. i included God in the picture in everything to let her know that God is always there! always in the picture. i know she is hurting real bad at the moment and i prolly couldnt relate as well to her pain but i know God can! i know i can just be a friend and cheer her on. i know i can be an Aaron and help her lift up her hands when they're tired.
i reckon this is the kinda friendship and relationship that God intended us to be in. to love one another and to encourage one another!
so many things are happening around me, but at the moment, i am just falling more in love with Jesus. and i want you to see His love too!

pkids discipleship was off the hook. i learnt about the power of encouragement and i myself recieved loads today.
HEbrews 4:13
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
your words have the power to break and heal over the hurts and wounds inflicted by negative words. your encouragement can shift the person's perspective. And the bible says to do it daily.
i love getting encouragements! i love getting pats on the backs and hugs saying that i'm a champ! but above all, i love encouraging people! i love it when they say that it makes sense and is exactly what they need. i love being used by God to speak of the right words at the right time.
seriously, God is just so good that He hasnt forgotten about YOU! He watches over you all the time and craves for your love and attention.
ps rob asked an intriguing question today - what would you do if you knew you wouldnt never fail?

A weekend Like no other
When it's a good weekend, or when u know that u've had a good time, you'll know it! And this weekend was just rocking and there's just so much thankfulness and gratitude in my heart that it's overfilled with joy. Tmr, it's time to spread those joy to my kiddies n also those that I'll meet!! Oh yea! I'm excited!!!
Anway, before I get too sidetracked, I'll just quickly share what happened.
Honestly, I think my weekend just keeps getting better and better ever since kidshaper. Praise Gor friendship and just being so good to me! I duno if u've ever had this feeling - that things just seemed so good that you could actually withdraw yourself from reality, and take upon a third person point of view n ask yourself, is this real?! What I did today and the happiness i felt, real? Or like when it comes to the end of the day, u depersonalize(mental health term) hahahhahaaha n reflect on how good it has been? Ur heart overwhelms!
That was what I felt.
I finally sleptover @ li's hse on Friday. Those who don't know, I insist on sharing a single bed with her. And we must have seperate blankets each cos I'm a blanket-snatcher in the middle of the night. But i simply lovee hanging out with this chick!
This weekend so far, I've learnt a few new things bot myself and I just can't stop reflecting bout my perspective on friendship. ( typing on iPhone is soo mega challenging)
anyway, I've known that I'm sentimental but I realize that there R certain things that I've never actually let go. Especially when it comes to friendship. I realized that I still hold on to the past and have never really grasped the concept of moving on. I think it could still be jpainful for me. I know for my own benefit N also for the person on the other end, it's actually a good thing! I mean i know the reality that life goes on whether you like it or not. But I think I'm quite stubborn in the sense that I belive something ought not to be changed! Relationships are one of them. Not to say that u stay stagnant, bt I meant thAt u're not supposed to move backwards. I duno but I found out that for some specific people, though they moved on n we barely see each other, I'll still hold on real tight on what we shared before. Yeaa. I guessed we've moved on but I still hold on to what we had and will fight real hard to keep this friendship going. Idunno if I'm making sense. But u know what, even as I watched UP today with ant (awesome show! Highly recommended in 3d) I realized that perhaps God is also telling me to let go of the past and move on.
I guess it's time for me to say "thank you for the adventure. And now go have some new ones".
I'm not saying that it's to ditch all my friends or just leave everything n turn a new page. No! I'm saying, some things had occured for us to grow together, so that when we grow old, we can have a good laugh togehter!! Hahaha. Yeaa. And some things happen to test how strong we really are. But you know what, some happen just so that you can see that there are treasures around you, every day and every moment. So that you can journey on and start your adventure with these people around you. Sometimes, all we need to do is just to look and embrace. Don't worry about what others may say or think. Don't stews about passing comments like you're always busy and always not at home. Heck, it's my life and I'm ever only gonna live today once. I'm ever only gonna have this minute once and it'll be gone n dotted in history. Yes. I used to be affected lots by passing comments, and I used to justify situations. But this weekend, I realized that This truly is my life And the life that God has given me. I am gonna live it to the fullest and do what God has called me to(even though lots oftimes it's scary and require stepping out). Still. It's a life worth living. I think I'm discovering mire about this more to life life that God wants me to live. I know it's basic life lesson 101.
But when u actually understand it. Goodness!
I can't thank God enough for the friends that I have around me and also those that shared and are still sharing this journey with me. Whichever stage n phase we are in, I want you to know that I hold on very dearly all the memories we shared.
Sassy,
I love how even though things aren't exactly the same as it used to be as when we first met, I know that I can still cuddle next to you and just be comfortable and be loved. I love u and am so definitely hogging ur bed again!
Ant,
I simply enjoy ur company!! Simple as that but u know it goes far beyond yea? Look forward to adding more pages to our adventure book. I'll be Russell n u can be Carl! (since u say u're old) hahaha

1st post from Iphone
Just have a quick 15 mins before I had to go for another class. Am at caufield at the moment and. I think I just witnessed one of the saddest thing that could happen to a girl.
I was at the corner happily minding my own business, thinking of when to eat my crossaint when I saw this. Well, for all u know it could just be my imagination and none of these actually happened as what I thought itwas.
They were on a bench under the big tree.
He had his legs crossed while she faced the tar roads
her eyes were red and they barely spoke.
I walked past them wondering why the still silence.
...
I turned my head around and he stood up.
No goodbyes no hugs, he just walked off while
She sat on the bench, with her black jacket, staring at the black tar road.
If ur imagination were as wild as mine, we could perhaps swapped stories! But after seeing how he left her, in that manner, my heart broke. I wasn't too sure if it was just a normal goodbye. I paced up and down the walkway two or three times, trying to grab a glimpseof the girl from the back, just to check that she is ok.
Part of me was like move on. None of ur business anyway.
Part of my heart sunk, fearing that wat I imagined would have actually been her most dreaded reality.
The walkway btw gym n lib never seemed so long. Well, at least, I've never turned around, walked up n down so many tomes! )
finally, i decided to turn around and just to check on her to see that she was ok. but then .. she's already left. i wonder what happened to her
in that moment, i felt the pain of broken relationships. it scares me a little and made me question if i would ever be ready. and all the questions regarding the right man.. blah blah blah.
MAN! stop breaking people's heart! haha.
but you know what, i know relationships can be scary, but i still believe in love.
We love, because He first love us.
God, help us to recognise the brokeness in this world and overcome it with Your love.

one touch from heaven
I'm sorry about the previous emo post. i was truly down that time. and i just wanna show people the reality of life, the reality of being a Christian. We do get challenges too and we do feel down and hit a few dead ends here and there. but i know,
my God is still faithful.
I know that there will come a point of time, where i can be picked up and stand on my feet, giving him praise again!
I know that all along the way, God has been always there cheering me on and never giving up on me. I know that my issues are dead tiny compare to others but hey, i have emotions too and nothing takes more out of me than being drained emotionally. i was chugging along, trying to do my thing. Times of giving up and throwing in came into my thought, somehow, the fact that i have witnessed God's goodness refrained me from surrendering to the world. I know that Jesus has more and better things that the world could offer. I know that His love is real and His love is so powerful that it breaks all yoke.
i dont really know what it was that kept me going, but i persevered. and i'm glad i did!!
God actually has a bigger and better plan for me. He's just waiting around the corner and waiting to surprise me.
At camp, i felt His touch like never before. it was like electricity, so tenancious, so powerful, so intense. there's no one exact word for it! I've heard heaps about heaven colliding with earth. i've seen it in planetkids where it happened to my kiddies. but that night, it happened to me. I knew that God had positioned me in camp, spoke into my heart and after surrendering everything to Him at his feet (during kidshaper) He has propelled me forward and BANG! a powerful touch of God hit me.
honestly, i didnt know what happened or what it meant. i just know that God is there and He touched me. He affirms things that i felt in the spirit. things that i'm sure of and things that i'm not sure of. He's there to care and just gently pushes my back, nudging me forward. i can hear him say "come on, that's it! come on! " AHH He's just so good!
and guess what - that's my Dad! i'm just falling more and more in love with Him!!! <3
Jesus,
it's such a priviledge to be used and to witness your power touching people and transforming lives. Thank you for not giving up on me when i thought i wouldnt be able to do it anymore. Thank you for mending the broken hearts and the past hurts. I know now, truly that You alone are good enough for me. please continue to grow me into what you want me to be. help me to walk in the power, authority and annointing that you have bestowed on me.
i love you.
and also, thank you. for the awesome people that You have placed in my life. thank you that you are doing an awesome work in them. please do more!
amen!
i'm missing camp already!!! i absolutely loved the powerpack weekend of fun, people and most of al, experiencing God! my urbies are awesome. the people i met are so cool. i cant wait for more of Jesus!!!
