spiritual warfare...
how important it is for us to guard, at all times, our minds and our hearts. our minds because that's where the devil attacks first; our minds cos its such a crucial battleground.
learnt from cousin today that both jinying and weiping have had a sense of something, they dont know what, but just something... which may have the power to stop the work we wanna do in yunnan. seen in this light, the lesson on the armour of God we learnt in cell some time back becomes all the more relevant.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
just wanna highlight one particular piece of the 6 pieces of armour (belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God). can u guess which piece of armour i'm gonna highlight? haha.
"In addtion to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish al the flaming arrows of the evil one." Ephesians 6:16
so yups... faith. a small word with a big meaning. about 3 weeks more to the yunnan mission trip... i really got to prepare myself spiritually!
today's pentecostal message was quite cool too. are you merely filled with the Holy Spirit, or are you full of the Holy Spirit?
and i'm very glad to get my hands on an english-chinese bible! coolness! :) hehe. all thanks to minmin who lent it to me :)
and i spoke to my korkor on msn today too :) but only for a short short while cos i had to rush off for service. heh. forgot to ask him one super important thing... kor, where did u keep your ipod??? if i cant find it i cant use it... and i wanna bring it to malaysia for church camp this thurs to sat leh... drop me a msg ok kor? :)
i have an important project to hand in on wed! (actually supposed to be friday but i'll be at church camp ma) it's like, 40% of my grade for that module. and guess what? i havent started on it yet! well done hor... muahaha. :P mai kan jeong...
my boyboy's going into army tomorrow :( i wont see him for a whole entire week!!!! :( really wish he cld go for the church camp too, but ah wells, God has planned everything out so we'll just wait and see what He has planned for our future! :) boyboy ah, take care ok? hope ur lectures aint too boring hehe... :) learn more interesing stuff then can use for ice breaker in cell group hehe.
Fidelia and Rixin will be back in singapore soon! :) fi first then rixin like a month later. heh. then my darling bro!!! :)

i've been coming online to send pple photos via email. and becos i dunno how to zip, it takes donkey years!!!! ok dont laugh, i know zipping is supposedly super easy. just that i tried it once and it didnt work so i cant b bothered to try it again. maybe its the once bitten twice shy thingy? hurhur. :P anyway, i'm irritated with blogger cos it devoured my long long post of photos! GRRRR. u bad hungry monster of a blogger...
had my first offical test in school today! 30 marks test, 1 hour, on grammar, for my functional english module. i thought i would finish it early leh. but i used almost the whole 1 hour. writing a grandmother story for the email writing part. oops :P haha ah wells! and very happy cos i ate a cheap dinner in school! for the record, jialing is happy whenever she eats decent food at cheap prices :) so value for $$$. cos i wasnt v hungry, n being health conscious, i tried yong tao foo at canteen 2. paid a grand total of 80 cents for my satisfying dinner of kway teow soup with xiao bai cai and the white colour stuffed tau hoo. the soup was tasty! hehe. so i spent a great grand total of $2 i school today. 80 cents on an ice mountain water bottle, 40 cents for my takeaway tea with milk, and 80 cents for dinner! *beams* :D
popped over to my boyboy's house after dinner. futilely trying to polish his shoes so that we cld see our nice big white teeth in them *beams again*
oh yes, finally made use of school library! happily borrowed FIVE books from the early childhood collection. how nerd hor. but the books all seemed interesting! am in the midst of one now. :P i find it amazing that we ECH students r allowed to borrow TWENTY books at one shot for FIFTEEN days... craziness! imagine if 50 students were to maximise their borrowing quota (abt 200 students in my cohort n that's only year 1!)... the shelves would become bare. like poor old Mother Hubbard ... nvmind if u dont get this last part :P
i shld go sleep!
but before that... its time for my Lord. :) *beams*

i think, last week or so has been somewhat emo. (teen slang muaahaha)
first there was the peace offering trip to clare's house. where i really kinda errupted into tears. shu en's really right about me and the approval by others' thingy. it just feels super lousy when u know pple ( n esp pple u care abt or who mean something to u) are either displeased/upset/irritated/angry with you. :X gosh i dont wanna imagine what it would be like if one day ... my bear gets very upset with me. or angry. or whatever. haha.
then there was yest, got to speak to my bro on the phone! :) and yah got to cry to him on the phone too. haha. like i said, it's been an emo time. there were other emo days too, but let's just leave that aside haha.
i feel like i should be wraping bouquets now! but i dont feel like wrapping. lazy. once i start, i wont have time for anything else then it'll be time to sleep already. but if i dont wrap, the flowers will die soon and that'll be a waste of $$$ (i have flowers in my room again now cos i just completed a small batch of orders for wailing n jinfei). ie there's still my uncle's 3 sf 9 r bouquet to do, though he told me today not to worry abt it. oh n even as i type this, zhiyang shld be back from yunnan alr, but not sure whether he'll have bought back any flowers from there. heh. doesnt matter i guess. if he does, i'll just practise making a big big big bouquet n find some nice uncle to buy for his wife muahahha, in the process raising more funds (!!!) for the mission trip!
which reminds me. i really need to go do the accounts.
a sign that i'm not so tired today - didnt fall asleep in the cinema while watching spidey 3 with ws. hehe. must be cos i woke up at 9 plus today! =D i liked the movie! found the plot quite interesting. wouldnt mind watching it again if there's time. feel quite busy leh, i dont know why. supposed to go watch spidey3 with amir though. didnt have the heart to tell him when he asked that i wld go catch it with ws. wells at the most i'll catch it twice!
did you know roses can come in sprays too? they're so pretty! :) i like.
i also like pedal works shoes! but. expensive :(
eating watermelon now, reminded of the period where my bro was crazy over them (i cant rmmr why also), n got my mom to buy many many many watermelons! we had like more than 5 in the house at one time can. funny. :P
my jc friend asked me to consider teaching his sec 4 bro english n chem. i feel flattered. but then. hmmm think i shldnt take it on due to time and lack of confidence la. anyway i cant find my chem notes! besides, wld it be a bit funny teaching a friend's sibling? ~shrugs~
had lum's surprise party and amir's party on sat. tiring day. high calories day too. but all that chocolate cake was oh-so-nice!!! :D chocolate indulgence from secret recipe, and chocoate mousse from four leaves. yummylicious. n i ate 2 slices of lum's cake too. *guilty look* xiaohui's really very sweet to plan all this for lum la.. .and the $$$ she forked out to... i wonder why the others who turned up and stayed to play/eat at settler's cafe didnt think of paying her $8 each. poor dear!
amir's party. been a long time since i saw many bandits all at one time. quite alright la. was pleasantly surprised when livia acknowledged my presence with a slight smile as she said "hi" in the kitchen. was so surprised that i had to ask her if she was talking to me. but shall not read too much into things ya. i guess its enough that i'm acknowledged. sat youwei's car home! he was speeding like siao... haha... eh no traffic police is gonna read this n arrest him right? :P had an interesting conversation w him in the car, tho it was quite short. goodness knows when we'll chat again. he's one of those people whom its easy for me (ok maybe everybody la cos he's so mr nice guy) to talk to in a way so it's a pity i dont see him very often.
i wish the mission trip was just 1 wave and not 2! so that everyone would be going at the same time with everyone else! cos i think our team is quite a good team. hehe. :)
2 tests this week. hmmm. and project due next week. blergh. :P
fifi: haha. i'm leaving for china for 10 days on the day that u'll be returning! but nvmind, it just means i'll see u not so soon... :)
annie: i updated! hehe. u must too, okee? :) btw, we have an official new member! rmmr rachel? the newest lian hua after qinying? she accepted Christ yest during service, n jinfei's her mentor :)

feel so sleep deprived... and yet, i wouldnt want to not do whatever i've been doing. but it makes me tired. how come ah? hais. just gotta pray that i dont forget my priorities, that my Lord will sustain me, and that somehow i'll repay my sleep debt.
and.

Selling of Bouquets to raise funds is rapidly underway... i'm getting lots n lots of practise to hone my skills. and the sense of satisfaction that comes from wrapping a decent looking bouquet n having pple praise my work, with me not having gone for any flower arrangement lessons before.
BUT.
i need to remind myself not to get carried away with my own sense of pride or whatsoever, and bear in mind that the purpose for this, the ultimate aim, should be with God in mind. To God be all the glory, and not to me. and somehow, this verse spoke to me tonight:
"For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God." Acts 5 :38-39
(sigh, just realised that actually i kinda have homework for tmr that i forgot about. and lots of readings. m getting rather forgetful... very bad, very bad)

i need sleep. at least, logically speaking, i think i do. considering i woke up at 5 plus and slept at 1 plus after settling the prices of flowers with kim hui... fell asleep on my bed whilst praying, lol. which was after i read acts chap 1 n 2. decided i must put in more effort to do my quiet time faithfully, to prepare myself for the yunnan mission trip, as pastor jean was telling us yesterday. and she said the book of acts is like a book about missions, so i figured it'd be good to read that. hehe. :) anyway, so i fell asleep with the lights on. woke up once at 3 plus i think, saw the lights on, and smartly went back to slep without turning off the lights. well done. haha. then woke up again at 5 plus, saw my laptop in working condition!!! so decided to utilise it whilst it's behaving itself. so hard to get it to work properly lor! you guys should know man, whole day restarting and shutting down and turning on again, ALL TO NO AVAIL. which explains why i'm now backing up all my songs n photos and stuff... hurhur.
sent a loooooong email (wordy email like my blog posts muahaha) to everyone, and checked out bouquets of carnations. now i have a better idea how to wrap them. exciting!!! feeling pretty excited. these r exciting times man!
plus, i started reading the book abt the african missionary, rowland bingham... very interesting! i wanna read all b4 i go yunnan! haha :) read it whilst on the mrt to and from wei siong's house. fell asleep in his room whilst supposed to be watching vcd with him. oops. just as well, that gave me energy to read the book on my way home instead of sleeping.
AND.
min min bought me moisturizing dry skin repair cream!!!!!!!!
*so touched*
thank you dear :)
not to mention that she slathered it very generously onto me when she bumped into fay, shu n me at eunos... generously massaged it onto me for me. hee. free gift still got free service some more! the ultimate... thank you so so much :)
i conclude that yest was flower day and cream day. skin cream i mean. cos guess what happened on the mrt home from chinese garden?
ok, i was scratching away -as usual-, its like my reflex action u know? conditioned since young liaos. so more or less used to scratching all over. heh. then anyway. this elderly lady sitting next to me suddenly spoke to me and offered me cream! i declined n showed her the one minmin had bought for me. and she was like, no her one better... and she took it out and showed me and squeezed out some -despite my protests- for me to apply. so apply i did. hee. so cute lor that lady. but very nice of her too. she was so engrossed talking to me that she missed her clementi stop n ended up in buona vista. heh. Oops. but ya, that little act of kindness was quite touching :)
am proud of my self control for not indulging in chips with weisiong yesterday as i originally wanted to! (was quite comfortably full, and besides had eaten TWO ice cream cones earlier!)
ok, i shld get a nap first b4 going to church, right? hehe :)
exciting times, exciting!!!

HEHE.
thurs. happy beautiful day spent with my boyboy! he came over in the morn, we had lunch in my house, then he went with me to school.. muahaha.. .it was my taekwando lesson, in an open area so weisiong sat nearby and daydreamed/watched. oooh... now i know how to do high block and low block! get me to demo when u all see me k? haha! :) taekwando v slack, supposed to be 2 hours lesson, ended earlier at like 4.25. so headed down to kovan to pass annie more vcds!!! hk serials rock! :D lent her detective investigation files 2. which has kenix kwok, tao dayu and amy kwok whom i like. and also the others actually... i just like them all... so nice! :) hope annie enjoys herself watching and listening to the cantonese! i find her comment that day so cute... that she dont know what i'm saying but anyway it sounds very nice :P the night when wailing's mum touched down in spore, the night where we searched for a missing car and then person. hehe.
after meeting annie very briefly... it was.... BUFFET DINNER!!! at guess where? hahaha. noble house! my family's fave chinese restaurant. we've been there countless times already, every time there's some special occasion we'll go there. so it was kinda a meet some of my relatives session for wei siong hehe... he met auntie swee lin n her husband, and uncle tim. took photos too! will try to post them up. lets hope blogger cooperates man! just the 7 of us cos it was a super last min thing. haha. it started with my mum asking if wei siong's free for dinner, ask him come over on thurs night we go chuen chuen and eat (like coffee shop liddat. sell chicken and 煮炒) and i was like, huh... i mean, parents treat so should go somewhere nicer ma! hehe. so my mum went, seafood cannot what, your skin liddat... and that's when i thought of noble house! our ever reliable chinese restaurant. heh. so at eleven plus pm on wed night was our buffet dinner hatched. so last min lor! haha. let me list down what we ate.
5 big plates of salmon sashimi. 3 big plates of prawns, 1 plate of fried prawns with crispy oats. 1 steamed bass. 2 special bean curd with thai sauce (super nice i like a lot! cant believe it was only my first time trying it!) 1 kelong chilli crab. 1 kailan. 1 vegetable with 3 eggs. 1 broccoli with crab meat. 1 cold dish. 1 venison. 1 duck meat. 1 cuttlefish and scallops. 1 sea cucumber. 1 spicy salmon head (another of my faves! its NOT spicy haha) 1 bean curd with fish in black bean sauce. 1 soft shell crab (which wei siong n i agreed was not v nice). and desserts. gui ling gao, mango pudding, red bean paste, honeydew sago.
ok that is mostly all... i cant rmmr what else. anyway, some of them was small serving haha. dont worry we're not that scary to eat so much. KORkor u should have been here! then we'll make it more worthwhile for ourselves muahahah. with u ard, should be able to do 7 plates of sashimi la right? hehe :)

today. my "fiercest" day in school turned out to be quite slack. first lesson started almost half an hour late, n wasnt vey intensive. 2nd lesson after a 1 hour break, kind of like hearing stories about children and child care centres. cos our teacher was telling us what we can and cannot do to the kids. hahaha. 3rd n last lesson after yet another 1 hour break. and what was to be a 3 hour lesson ended almost 1.5 hours early! how slack right... BUT. i am NOT complaining. school should end early all the time man. hehe :) and erm. i ponned my first choir prac. OOPSSSSS..... *guilty look* had to go to punggol (darn far. darn darn dar far!!!) to return vcds to video ezy... which my friend working there let me rent for free :) and i ended up renting 2 more. free ma! heh. typical sporean mindset hor. then i went home. and chatted with my boyboy. had a good talk about this very important aspect of our lives. hehe. and now he's eating dinner n i'm blogging.

"You ask Wati to cook the food for you to bring out for what?"
"To eat lah."
"After your tuition you are not coming back? What are you going to do?"
"I'll go buy the memory card for korkor, then i'll go early to airport."
"How much time you need to buy the card? What time is his flight?"
"Eleven plus."
----------------- silence for a while ----------------------------------
"the person who has a car doesnt go out and buy the card, the one who doesnt have the car goes to buy it instead. i ask you, worth it a not?! waste so much time travelling! "
"i think its worth it. i can travel 4 rides on mrt every day "
(thinks to myself. i dont mind buying it at all what. maybe papa's tired so he doesnt wanna go out? or he has other things to do? in any case, i volunteered to buy it. he didnt ask me to. what's the probem?)
---------------------- silence again for a while ---------------------
"After your tuition you should come home and rest! then after that go to the airport earlier. i find that you dont know how to plan your time!"
silence from me. i continue eating and reading my book.
(thinks to myself. what makes you think that i can't rest outside? you dont even know that i'm planning to go early to airport and study first. and there's no point trying to explain that to you cos i think you'll just reply something about studying at home also can/is best/whatever. as you always do. and. coming home wont be restful if you are always on the war path, so confrontational about everything...)
hais. this exchange took place after i caused my mum to tear. we were having some heated discussion (i admit i was in the wrong for replying her in a raised voice and so agitatedly.it always gets liddat with my mum. i have to try very hard to put my point across to her, and in doing so i get all heated up. upon seeing the tears in her eyes as she exclaimed,"You dont talk like this to me ok!" i subsided, and felt bad. its definitely not that i wanna make her angry or be disrespecful... i was just trying to bring my point across. home is a miserable place to be in if there are people going around picking faults and all. and though there's reason a plenty in the things she says, the way she brings it across is very... SIGH. after a while went up to her and started saying. "mum, i'm angry with myself for making you angry but..." b4 i could finish whatever i wanted to say she turned away and went to her room. ok yes i can understand that i hurt her. wanted to write her a note... but after that exchange.. i think never mind la... anyway things are always like this at times. it was so much worse in the past, so much so that i frustratedly scrawled in my diary that i understood how my parents NEEDED to scold me cos they're sadistic and so they'll only be happy when they scold me. i'm serious. it was so bad in sec school. and now, learning about early childhood education... i wonder that if my mum had employed all those right methods of educating me in the past, whether i would fall so far from her expectations now. then again, i dont think its in her character to know how to bring up children that way, even if she was taught. i really feel that because of the way she herself was brought up, she feels that authority is authority, and cannot accept it when we kinda dont accept her authority over some issues, in the sense that we have different views fomr her and we try to tell her. she doesnt understand how times now are different in that these days, more people subscribe to the belief that respect must be earned. so saying, it doesnt mean we dont honour our parents of course... but it does lead to tricky situations cos children these days wont just sit back and let their parents dictate their lives for them. right? hais. ah wells.)
do i sound very un-christian-like here? hais.
for what it's worth, i'm sorry, mom. not that you'll ever see this la but still.
anyway, in the midst of this entry, my dad came to speak to me. he understood totally where i was coming from, but he reiterated this point to me, that we cant change another's person behaviour, but we can change how we respond to that person. ah wells.
after that earlier heated exchange i had with my mum, i wondered, how would my bro have reacted to us if he was here? would he scold me for talking like this to my mum, or would he keep quiet, or would he try to explain to my mum my point of view? then again, if he was here, he would be scolded too... kor, um was scolding me about the toilet. how it was so dirty. and how we (u, me , papa) still happily used it. this, amongst other cleanliness related issues. like the everlasting hooha about my room, which i resent today because i just tidied up my room a week back and it looks fine to me! sheesh.
am i gonna be liddat when i become a mother as well?
HAIS.
