and i know He watches me

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come?

Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for Heav'n and home?

When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is He:

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

I sing because i'm happy
I sing because I'm free!

For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:5-7

a long weekend

yet another long weekend has been fruitfully spent helping out in church activities. from cleaning up and decorating the hall after sabbath service, to a choir presentation on sunday for a wedding ceremony, to tidying up the church again after the joyous occasion, to transporting ava equipments on monday morning, to taking family portraits and photos of the evangelistic lunch at furama city centre, and finally, to lightrooming (post-processing) pictures of the event and uploading several abnormally sized choir videos from an extraordinary sx20is. phew, now that was a handful.




nevertheless, still want to thank God for allowing me to make myself useful and being able to help out in these various aspects of church work. truly removes all the anxiety and tension of prelims away. however, the revelation still remains: 5 more days of exams to go and not 1 used during the weekend to revise. oh well, no cause for worry or for fear, i'll just have to lower my expectations by a little. no problem, haha.

& evangelistic week is finally upon us! click the picture below to find out more:



interested? nudge me on msn!!

minutes to midnight

..rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer... Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion
Romans 12:12,15-16

came upon this section when i was browsing through http://closerdaybyday.info/
a bible reading website that i only just discovered recently and would highly recommend to all to visit once a night to partake in some spiritual supper; its really delicious i tell u =)

anyways, i somehow find the above verse relevant to this current situation at hand: prelims (ironically my first and my last) and it somewhat links to my previous post on mid-years which i find quite surprising. yep, i shall strive to carry this with me throughout the next 2 1/2 weeks and i hope those of us who are in the same boat would too.

may the Lord guide all of us who are having our examinations. always remember,
God will make a way when there seems to be no way,
Though he works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for us.

(But are you willing to let Him pave this path before you?)

after a long break

i think i should come back and update this site.

well, i've been through an entire term's worth of school, and I have to say that term 3 has so concluded ever so quickly. finally, after 1 1/2 years of IB madness, my IAs have all been banished away to the 4 corners of the world, and all that is left now is but non-stop mugging for prelims and final exams. though, i find it quite ironical that 2 posts ago i was making my resolve for my mid-year exams and here i am, a week from my prelims. well, the good news is that i did quite well for my mid-years, really beyond my expectations for most of my subjects, so got to thank God for that. see, trusting and relying in God works, recommend Him to all my friends and readers alike :) i shall again hope to keep the same resolve even though this exam will definitely be tougher than usual in preparation for the final biggie, for i know whom i have believed..

and of course, not forgetting all the wonderful memories accumulated over the past 2 months of my absence from blogosphere:


Youth SM 09


Family Day 09


UYO Award's Day


Sen Kee's + Ben's Farewell


'09 Cohort Photo


6.8 Class BBQ


Kaister + KJ + Kev's Bday


(as usual, all photos are up at picasa, or fb if you havent already known!)


sometimes, i feel really fortunate to have been blessed with so many wonderful friends and brothers and sisters and having all these good times spent with them. indeed, all i can do is reiterate this verse (which has been converted into a song/canon) that has been ringing in my head ever since pr chin came upon it in last sat morning's sermon:

Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us,
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us;
That we should be called the sons of God,
That we should be called the sons of God!

and evangelistic week is coming! this is the part where i extend my invitation to non-christians and non-TJCians (that i know off) to come down to my church for a few nights of service in mid-September to listen and appreciate this amazing grace and priviledge of getting to know who Jesus really is. yes, it may be during the exam period, but hey it will surely be a good few hours spent to keep your mind off all that exam pressure. stay tuned for more details or email/msn me if you cant wait! lol.


Till then,

"Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

(yep, we are already at da book of Joshua already!!)
