Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

There has been one recurring thought in my mind this whole week (besides how great God is), and no I'm not going to tell. It pops up at any random moment, be it when I'm in math class trying to figure out the possibility- P(score on card that is a prime number), or when I'm in my bed trying to fall asleep at night. It's jarring presence disrupts my train of thoughts at the most obscure moments (I shan't elaborate on that) and gets me hooked on it till I force my mind off it to make sure I get something done. I even dreamt of it last night and woke up feeling really ambiguous about the reality of what happened. (Sometimes I can't tell if I really did something or not because I might have been dreaming.) Oh well. All I can say is that I really want to weekend to come soon. We're going to have our first proper open cell so I really hope we'll be able to gel then.
And because of my breaking my new year resolution by sleeping at 12 the past nights, I have been rewarded with a really bad runny nose. I slept at 11 last night though *beams proudly* haha :p I'll try to keep that up today though I know I have lots of work to clear once I get home at 7pm.
I'm currently freezing in the library's computer room after being frozen in geog class trying to do my topo map test for one whole hour. Think I better go down for PI dance prac now. Dancing's a great way to exercise (and I love the fact that my homeroom's on the 4th floor now, I get to work those leg muscles everyday haha). Just hope that it won't end late today. Or I'll just end up using more than 5 packets of tissue (that's my record for the week) tomorrow...

Ever wondered how your dreams may elude you sometimes, and then they suddenly pop up in your face like a reality that hits you like ton of bricks? There are so many things we daydream about and it seems that they will never come true. No matter how much we will it to happen. But after a long period of hoping, and when you're just about to throw in the towel, you see your very own secret daydream replay itself right in from of your eyes- this time it's for real.
It's like prayers. Our prayers sometimes seem to go unanswered, as a result, we turn our eyes away for God and no longer hope in His power to change things. But the truth of the matter is, our Heavenly Father hears every single word of our prayers. They are never unanswered. It's just that some may take a longer time to be processed. Though God is certainly more than capable of mulit-tasking, whether your prayer gets answered immediately depends on whether God thinks your motive for that prayer is right (i.e. praying for the maths teacher to be sick the next day so that you don't have to take that dreaded test = wrong motive), and whether you really need what you're asking for. God's judgement of things are always the best for us. What we're asking for must be in alignment to His plan for us. Sometimes we're just too caught up in our busy little lives to see the big picture. That's why I always ask for God to help me see through Heaven's eyes. Giving us what we want may not be the best thing sometimes.
But let us not allow the delay to deter our faith in Him because that is where it gets dangerous. Faith is believing in what is unseen. Having faith gives us hope, lifting our spirits above the desperation of our circumstances. And faith does wondrous things (I can definitely testify to that). It may make the difference on whether a prayer gets answered or not. Having faith in what God can do will set things in place to see our prayers answered. God loves a sincere and faithful heart. So perservere on in praying if you really want to see changes come to past. Why don't you try that out today and I'm sure you'll definitely see a change in your prayer life. Don't rush prayer, because it simply can't be rushed. Time Alone With God (TAWG) is a special time we spend with our Heavenly Father each day; a time I look forward to and treasure with all my heart because it's my lifeline. Remember, God doesn't want just visiting hours. He wants full custody ;)

Indeed, thank God it's finally friday. I feel freedom that I haven't felt in days! (haha though i know for sure this freedom is only temporal) Haven't properly blogged since school started. Big issue now on my mind is my new cell! Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten over the big change (ok maybe not that big considering that it could have been worse). Will miss cell 3 '04 (or at least half of them who's now in cell 4 *i think), though I know that we'll still see each other around, but I'll have to get used to having cell with a different group of people. I'll especially miss all the fun and laughter, silly stuff that we do together, but most imptly, growing together in God. I understand that God has a purpose for the new cell structures, and that we should rejoice that we've multiplied (: I'm determined to face this year (and my new cell) with optimism and hopefully bring that spark of cell 3's passionate spirit to ignite the flames for God in cell 5 '05. No matter what, I'm want to stay as close with my old cell. And the sec 4/5 section will sooooo rock this year! (:
I'm really thankful that God placed Ms. Leow in charge of our research studies project. She's just a great inspiration and Godly influence upon my life. We would go for RS meetings with a discouraged heart because of our seemingly slow progress, but she would lift up our spirits and get us all excited about publishing the book again. I do hope we can get the book out by the end of this year before we go to JC. It'll be a blessing for all present and future RGS girls.

School has officially started for a grand total of.... 3 days! And already I'm feeling tired. Broke my new year resolutions by sleeping at 12 plus the past nights, trying to do chinese homework, cca and orientation stuff too. As a result, my nose was leaking non-stop the whole morning and I'm having a mild headache. I'm in school now (unfortunately) downloading m'sia pics my uncle sent me for chinese scrapbook. It's a wednesday when school's out early and I'm sure everyone else has gone home! I'm hungry and want food but my comp at home is soooooo slow so I have to do this in school. Bleargh. Even 1 can of strong Nestle mocha coffee at recess couldn't help me stay awake. Needa go to church after this to find my lost ez-link card (ahhhhh... *feels sad*). Can hardly think straight now. Wish I had a thumb drive, then I wouldn't have a problem with saving those huge picture files in my diskette. Need to go home and sleep. If not I won't survive the week (eep there's still orientation camp and concert! *groans*). Wanna just drop dead now...
Pardon my strange rambling while I wait for the photos to load. And it's taking awfully loooonnnngggg... *stares tiredly at the computer screen* I wanna go home!!!
