2nd June 2009

Today is my official birthday. I didn’t expect anything more to happen after yesterday, as I thought I had received the maximum already, but I was so wrong.
Iris told me to meet her at 6.45 am because she wanted o give me something. Apparently wingyee was supposed to meet us too, but she woke up late, so ya. Sadly, I had math Olympiad today, which I totally screwed up as I totally hecked care about it, and which I won’t ever join again. But both of us went to the concourse. Then I saw Yong yu, Ying jie, Hui yee, Hui yi, Qin xuan and Ying nan waiting for me at one table. When I approached them, they started singing happy birthday to me too! Then Ying jie and yong yu gave me presents and iris and wingyee (who finally turned up) also gave me their presents. Let me tell you, I am super touched by the present that Wingyee and Iris had prepared for me. Its like, I was so touched I was like in a shocked state, just like yesterday.
They prepared a book for me, and half of it was full of pictures which we took together, with notes from Wing yee and iris inside it. However, what really really touched my heart, was the many many birthday wishes from so many people, like people from last year’s class, people I barely know, and even a teacher! They had walked around for don’t know how many hours, just to get people to sign in the book and write something for me, and they spent don’t know how many hours just putting together all those pictures and letters for me. Ok I feel like crying now… haiz.
Well, after school, me, iris, yongyu and yingjie went to Ehub to bowl! It was really fun. Wingyee, when you see this, you better get jealous and follow us next time k! humph! Haha:D
Well here’s a tribute to all the awesome people who made my day today:
Iris: thanks so much gal, for spending time with me and making me laugh. Although you didn’t really spend much which you kept emphasizing on, and although you didn’t do much which you also kept emphasizing on, I know it was from your heartJ (or was it? Hmmm…) haha jkjk! Anyway thanks for making my day! I love you!:)
Yong yu: Thanks gal for that birthday present! I love it! Thanks for coming bowling with me today, and just always being so happy and cheerful. Your joy is infectious! I love ya to bits!:D
Ying jie: thanks so so so much for that wallet. When I opened your present I was like “Woah”. It’s beautiful! Haha. Thanks for never forgetting my birthdays every year, and thanks for being that sweet girl that you always are. Stay pretty and cute forever! I love you!:D
Wing yee: hey gal! I know you want me to be touched, and I am! Like super! Thanks for all that hard walking that you did for me..thanks for going around to ask like all those people to wish me happy birthday. Thanks so much for just being there for me, all these years. You really are one true friend. Friends forever! I love you until the ends of the universe, which I think has no end? Haha you better go out with me one day!:)

Thank you once again, and above all, I thank God.

1st June 2009

Today I celebrated my birthday my 8 of my beloved friends from 3RP. I received like the best birthday gift I had ever received… it was amazing. I was so touched I could have cried there and then in front of all of them, but I didn’t. Let me start from the top, on how it all happened…
Si tong told me to meet them all at Harbourfront at 11.30 am. On that morning, she told me that her father was fetching her, so I will meet them at Sentosa instead. Well, I didn’t know how to go there myself, so she told Tze Wei to escort me there. Ok so I met Tze wei at Harbourfront MRT. I was like super eager and excited to go to Sentosa immediately, but TW started to stall time. He walked super slowly, like tiny little baby steps, and he kept telling me to slow down, enjoy the breeze. We were in the underpass. Of course, it was pretty obvious that he was hiding something from me. Oh well, I played along with him. He brought me shopping around the whole Vivocity mall, bought me food from Beard Papa Sweets, and just walked around with me from one hour. Oh something very funny happened. One of the 7 people in Sentosa called him and asked him where he was, I think. After he hung up the phone, he turned to me and said that was his mother calling. It was hilarious man! But I didn’t show it. Haha! Anyway, we finally went to Sentosa. TW bought the tickets for me too. Thanks man!:D
At Sentosa, Si tong and Xin yu picked me up. Halfway to the beach, Si tong covered my eyes. I shut it myself and we kept walking, for like 5-10 minutes with my eyes closed. To tell the truth, I was a little scared, as I was afraid that they would throw me into the sea or do something to me. However, she led me to the edge of the sea, and turned me around. When I opened my eyes, I saw the most wonderful thing I had ever seen. It was a 3-D heart on the sand, humongous, with s gigantic card and a present in the centre of it. The 8 of them stood at the top of the heart, and started to sing the Birthday song to me. It was music to my ears, but it just swept past me. What was flying through my mind, was the picture of that gigantic heart, right in front of me. They all woke up at, like, 7 am in the morning, came to Sentosa way ahead of me, did back-breaking work to make that heart, and they even met up on Saturday just to do my card! They cut and pasted 41 pictures on it in all. I counted. I was so touched, seriously, I was absolutely stunned. I was speechless, my mind was totally blank. I had no idea what to do or say. All I could think of was: wow, where did I find such friends?
Then, they brought me to the sand, and I saw another beautiful sight. They had set up a picnic, with pancakes that they made themselves, and many many bottles of drinks!! Sing yan brought like 2 huge bags of food and picnic stuffs like the mats and the shovels, and its like, they were all prepared for me??!!!???? Although I ate like only ¼ of the pancake, I guess it’s the heart that counts. Ok, after that they threw me into the sea. Then Yvonne followed, then Tze Wei and Daniel and xinyu and jia wei and singyan I think. Only Sitong and Siling didn’t go in. after we were tired out playing in the water, we walked around Palawan beach, and we went back to Vivo to watch Monster vs. Aliens. It was so lame, I kept laughing all the way. But seriously, I was like the only one laughing. Yvonne and Xin yu were like falling asleep, and so were the guys. The cinema was quiet man! When the show was over, they all came out and said it was too lame, but its lame that’s why its funny right?? Haha, anyway we went to Kopitiam for dinner, and we went home.
Today, it was the best, best, best birthday celebration I’ve ever had in my entire life. No one had ever spent so much effort or energy into making a day so special for me before. I mean, although they did not spend a lot, I prefer this than some super expensive present. Thanks guys, like seriously, from the bottom of my heart, I love you all. Here’s a little tribute to each one of you:
Yvonne: thanks for going into the water with me. Thanks for that super sweet message on my card. Thanks for everything you did to make today so special for me. You are seriously one of my super good best friends, and I love you to the max!!:))))
Siling: thanks for all those sweet things you did for me, and everything we did together I really enjoy sitting next to you and going everywhere with you! You have made a great impact in my life, and I love you forever!:D
Si tong: thanks for all that egoness. I know above all, you still love me more than anyone!:D anyway, thanks for always being there for me when I need someone to talk to. Your wai dao li works sometimes! I love you to bits!:)
Xinyu: another ego one! Thanks for never failing to make me smile! Although you are a bit noob sometimes, but you really make my day! Thanks for putting in so much effort to make my birthday a success. I love you with all my heart!
Singyan: thanks so much, for bringing all those picnic stuffs! I am really very, very touched that you would bring all those just to do a picnic for me, and just make today complete. You never fail to brighten my day with your silly auntieness and funny faces!:)
TzeWei: thanks so much for escorting me for that full 1 hour today! Thanks for treating me to that bread, Sentosa ticket and the movie ticket! I am super touched, I don’t know why, by this morning when you walked me around the whole Vivo, trying your best to keep me from finding out the secret, and still making sure I had fun. You rock man!:)
Jia wei: Thanks for drawing the pictures on the card, and doing the outline of the heart on the sand. You are super spastic and EGOOOOOOOO and gay and everything else, but you always make me smile. Thanks a million!:D
Daniel: although you didn’t do much, but your very presence was enough! Thanks for playing with me and helping out to make the heart and everything. Thanks for always making me laugh!:)

Once again, a big million gazillion THANK YOU to each and every single one of you from 3RP ’09 clique. I love you all too much, and you guys have made today the best for me. I don’t know what I did to deserve all these from you guys, but to me, you guys are my angels from heaven. Sincerely, from the deepest darkest bottom of my heart, I just wanna say thanks.

Hey peeps!:D
I'm back from China! It was really fun.. And I miss the people there so much now... During the last two nights I cried like siao. Seriously, its the first time I cried over saying goodbye. Even during p6 or any other time when people leave, I've never cried at all. I guess its because they treated me too well.. Too well. I miss them so much that my heart can hurt, or even feel difficult to breath. Haha. I don't even know why. Maybe I'll get over it with time...
One thing I learnt from this trip is jealousy. Jealousy is a scary thing, especially among girls. I've experienced it before. The people closest to you can backstab you anytime. Even those whom you tihnk are your best friends, they can betray you just because they are jealous of you. Its unfair to the people who get backstabbed, beacause you don't even know why they are jealous of you.
My mother told me that this is all normal and part and parcel of life, and I think it is too. Even Jesus got betrayed, by Judas, someone who ate and slept with him. What more is expected of the followers of Christ? Its painful... It really is. But I guess the more we try to be like Jesus, the more persecutions we are gonna get, but yet the more we'll store up our treasures in heaven.
God, help me to forgive.

Yo peeps!:D
Sorry for not posting for so long, and sorry for ignoring all those people who kept asking me to update... Too lazy:P.
Well, exams are finally over!!! Whoooo!!! And so are debriefs and everything else!! I got ok results, but to many people they may be very fantastic, and even so pro that they call me siao. But you know, I'm not being proud or showing off my marks. I want to tell you all something.
Before my EOY, I made a pact with God, and I told Him that if I got good results for this EOY, I will definitely use it to bring glory to His name. Well, He kept His part of the bargain, so shouldn't I keep mine?
I'm not saying I did not study at all, but seriously, the reason why I'm able to score so well is all because of Him. If He had not given me the strength, the determination, the peace, I doubt I could even score so well. Really people, this is one way to bring glory to God through your studies. Thats why I always strive so hard to do well in studies, to use it to bring glory and honour to His name.
So ya. Please don't say I'm so smart or whatever. I could never be where I am today if not for Him and His grace, mercy, love and providence. All the blessings and good things in my life are all given by Him. God, I thank you for helping me through this exam period. I thank you for blessing me and just being there to guide me and pick me up when I fall. I will keep my side of the bargain and I will definitely use this to bring glory and honour to your name. Once again I thank you and I praise your name...
:)

I guess its in these times of stress and 'suffering' that our walk with God grows closer.. Or to some further? To me it has really grown alot closer. I realised that I can't even concentrate on my work if I don't have the blessing of God over my studies...
I realise that I need Him more and more each day, and without Him I would definitely be unable to make it through this period of time. I am stressed, and seriously very worried for my studies. But is this feeling what they call-peace in he midst of trouble? I don't know. I may keep saying that I am stressed but I don't really feel it. I have the feeling that somehow it will all work out fine in the end. I guess its God trying to tell me that all I have to do is to lean on Him and not worry about anything anymore. Its nice to have a friend or a father who can back you up in these times and tell you everything will be fine. But still that doesn't mean I can slack. I think I will have to work harder than before...
God please help me not to procrastinate any further. I really need your help to complete my work and what I have set out to do, all for the extension of Your kingdom. Thank you.

Yo Peeps!:D
I know its the exam period, but I encountered something meaningful today so I shall just share it. I went to Singpost after school today for lunch with my friend. Before we could enter the mall, 2 girls approached us and wanted to show us a magic trick. My friend and I was like ok, so we saw. The trick was really old, because I knew how to do it when I was like primary 3, but apparently my friend had no idea, so I just kept quiet and pretended I haven't seen it before.
After they did the trick, the 2 girls began sharing with us about Christ. Seriously, I don't think I have seen such bold faith and courage like this before. At least not in real life. They dared to approach any stranger, and start sharing with the person about Christ in the streets, and they are not afraid of rejection at all. Well I told them that I was a christian but my friend wasn't. Then they asked my friend one shocking thing: "Well has Persis(they saw my nametag) shared with you about Christ before?" I was totally shocked, and I quickly stole a sideway glance at my friend. She immediately shook her head and said "No". The answer she replied them tore at my heart, and I suddenly felt so guilty, so faithless, so worthless that I was not as brave and as daring as those 2 girls. Of course those girls must have had training before. I think they are in their early 20s, but still such faith is extraordinary to me.
My friend did not seem to be affected much, as she was urgent to leave, but I'm sure she will remember this incident. THis incident has got me thinking, are we really doing our part as christians? Have we been living our life according to what God has planned for us, and according to what he has commanded us to do? I have been inviting my friends to churh events and all, and really tried to live my life as a testimony, but is i enough? I think it isn't.
People, lets not give up. Let us learn from these 2 brave girls who are willing to step out of thir comfort zones to share the gospel with total strangers. All the more we should share it with our friends! They might not have had an impact on my friend's life, but they certainly had an impact on mine. God uses us in ways we can never imagine. They were directing their testimonies to my friend, but I got a wake-up call instead. I felt like God was trying to tell me :" People are getting out into my harvest field. What are you doing about it? Why haven't you done anytihng yet?" I seriously felt like crawling into a deep deep hole right there and then, and like I didn't have the face to face everyone.
People, lets continue to press on and press in. The day of the Lord is approaching soon. Faster than we can ever imagine. Disasters are happening everyday and corruption is rampant in every city and state. Economics are failing and people are dying. Don't think we are very safe in Singapore. Aren't all these obvious signs enough for all of you? People!!! We have to pray.
