was listening to some praise and worship songs on my lappie, and yea, the process of just listening and singing along or humming does wonders to the soul! ptl!

heard that the Supernatural Service at Darebin was powerful! Peter Truong is visiting the melbourne churches and he had spent some time with the student group over the week. Praise God for the students with great faith to invite people in need of healing from the uni! Praise the Lord for the healings of the visitors!

and of cos i know Carl must be jumping up and down for his finger- bet his young faith has further been touched by the grace and healing of Christ!

the upcoming weeks will be tight ones with all the meet-ups once more. and doing some shopping around. haha. i think for food factor, i have fulfilled much already; meeting up friends factor- still have plenty to go. shopping factor- fair- window shopped most of the time; movies factor- fail- i think i only caught 2 so far since i returned. :(

ok. so my goal is to catch some more movies, get some decent shopping done for my needs, and meet up more friends over food. haha.

oh, and i am slowly becoming a mini couch potato. (maybe thats why i am not really getting myself out to movies nowadays?) tears of the sun that was on tv ytd was fab. i mean, how bad can shows with bruce willis get? :) it spoke to me a lot about compassion. strange, but yes, compassion. a war movie, all military, but the power of the compassionate heart of a doctor that led the leader of military group to make decisions that goes in line with his conscience- that is to save one if they can save one.

i love the moral of the whole show; the only element required for evil to triumph, is for the good to do nothing.

similarly perhaps, the only element required for the world to not experience the love of Christ, is for the followers of Christ to do nothing.

if you can save one, save one.

now-

• going to catch project RUNWAY on channel 5!!!!!

tomorrow-

• Data entry @church office.
• "UNVEIL" @ nexus; a superstar contest of the young adults in church! catch the talents!

OK! PROJECT RUNWAY NOW!

working in the airport has enabled me to meet with people of all walks.

i've learnt a common lesson, that is; appreciation.

it may be appreciation of gifts, of things, of service, of people, of facilities, but really, there's so much to thank God for by just living around in Singapore.

was just having my break one night, and i sat near where the boarding lounge was. eating my siew mai, i just sat down and gazed at the aircraft. It was an aircraft that was preparing to take on passengers in a while's time. suddenly, as i peered harder, i saw many many people walking around near the aircraft.

it dawned upon me, they were the aunties and uncles who were cleaning up late in the night, with bags and bags of trash that they carried down the stairs.

i dont know if that day i was emo or what, but i just thought of "unsung heros". I mean, maybe these things are not considered heroric, but they are the "backstage" peeps who contributes largely to make your flight a pleasant one.

and they work in the darkness where no one sees (unless you happen to be eating siew mai peering through the glass panels like me..).

just like any occasion, the people unseen are often easily forgotten, aint they? like backstage peeps, planners for a party etc etc.

even as i took the whole break just relishing four siew mais and watching them work, i know that Holy Spirit was speaking to me about groups of people in life and how we have not seen them at work, how we have taken them for granted, and how we have forgotten to thank them for their great contributions in your personal life.

what a time to meet with God tonight under the sky. it was awesome.

i thank the Lord for ministering to me through the words of this particular song.

you-tubed. and chanced upon this keyboardist who worshipped the Lord with this song. what a personal and powerful time of worship.

i yearn to grow in my personal worship to the Lord.

Parachute Band

Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice- my open heart.
I offer up my life.
I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again

So I lift my eyes to You, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let Your love fall down on me
And I will be complete in You.

Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day,
And I will be complete in..

I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends

Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And I pray I will hold on, Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in
I will be complete in
I will be complete in You

saw sis's msn nick:

" Your 'I.Can' is more important than your 'I.Q.' "

today was a fruitful day. will share more about insights from the lesson learnt from the course by campus crusade.

but for now; for tonight. i shall do what i need to do to be on balance again.

all to You Lord.

and shall sleep it off.

good night.

4 life lessons i've learnt today :) ;

1. advertisement can either direct you, or mislead you. lesson learnt: power of accurate advertisement.

2. to always be aware AND meet the needs of others; be sensible, be sensitive, be observant, apply clinical knowledge learnt; man with symptoms of parkinson's with fine motor issues who won a mini luggage combination lock. displays difficulties in fine motor manipulation and handwriting issues. finally clicked within me that should have changed the gift to something that he may enjoy better; which we did change for him in the end. and he enjoyed the bag way better than the lock. lesson learnt: an occ.therapist in life; not in name. striving to allow others to enjoy maximum quality of life according to their abilities!

3. "a gift is a gift". gift defined as something that is bestowed voluntarily and unconditional. hence, in essence, no better gift than another. "a gift is a gift". a gift is only "better" when you know how to appreciate it at its value, and understanding the principle of that we have it though we did not earn it, or perhaps, we didn't even deserve it. lesson learnt: always be grateful, and full of thanksgiving- and you will enjoy life to its worth.

4. a smile is a common language, despite language barriers. lesson learnt: smile more and you will never go wrong. when it goes wrong, it's probably we've being stingy with our smiles.

what powerful lessons are there in life, praise the Lord! how creative is the Lord, to always teach and guide with the H.S., using all circumstances.

yearning for more lessons everyday.

current two favourite everyday past-times;

1. people-watching in the airport transits and terminal everyday.
2. of course, the ever eyeball-peeling olympics.

and series of happenings have stirred within me a great sense of thanksgiving.

Praise Him for His unfailing faithfulness.

fr left: yupy (think i spelt it wrong!), irene, kelly, meagan, CN, ben, christine, tian tian, mx, lucy!

this is JEDI 1. :) the caregroup that i've been with for the past weeks.

it's an interesting mix of peeps fr all over- indo, hongkong, m'sians and of cos, s'poreans.

and it has been great time sharing lives with them. i thank God for their open hearts and united desire to see JEDI shine for Jesus.

p/s. a special thanks to kelly. our chat at maxwell market- i knew it was fr the Lord to me. thanks for your sincere and open heart. i sense it and it's an inspiration to me. :)

thank you Lord.

and last by not least!

we rejoice with loges! (thou apparently unimelb does not have motarboards to throw in the air as a symbol of celebration. haha).

Dear Lord,
Please bless these graduates
as they go out into the world
to make it a better place,
while they pursue their dreams.
Gently guide them, lead them,
show them Your way to success and happiness
through service to others,
as they maximize their own potential.
Fill them with joy when they reach their goals.
Strengthen them, as they deal with life's obstacles,
and show them that every challenge
is a path to character development.
Give them the intelligence
to make a plan for their futures.
Give them the patience and persistence
to pursue their ambitions.
Most of all, give them caring hearts
to look for ways to help the people they meet
on their life's journey.
Encourage them and lift them up now,
as they spread their wings
into a clear sky of limitless opportunity.
Let each and every graduate here
be wrapped in the warmth of Your infinite love,
and let Your wisdom show them the way
to make the most of their lives.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
