headed for service today... met up with my buddy for a lil while. while going thru the bible, this verse struck me hard ...
" For I know the plans i have for you" declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
jere 29:11
hmm its true.... why i was so foolish to hate god in the past? i was so angry. The lord did not answer my prayers then. I thought the lord had left me behind. I was wrong.

He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note
That said "use these down to your bones"
And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him
I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats,
she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one,
looked at my insides clicking
her tongue and said "This will all have to come undone"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody
buys
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
Could you leave me with a scar?

hmm tired... came back from road training from sch to changi and back. cycled total of more than 80 km. totally shagged
had great fun cycling ... pushed myself to the limit and met new people. Not a bad experience. the weather was good for cycling. very chilly...
tired... somethings are meant to be kept low... sometimes, speculation kills u... sight can be beautiful, but also hurtful

worked my butt off today... and worked with this lady who backstabbed me right from the start. dun know what was she thinking off...its the second day of work and she expects me to know everything single thing. go bang the wall la !!! i bet she doesnt even know how to operate a computer...
well, today seems like a good day ... besides the lady and her lil crapping going on at the back... everything going smooth.. thank god for that... hope there will be better days than this....
listened to this song while i was on the bus heading home ... thru this song, god spoke to me abt what i had gone through after accepting christ. being with me 24:7...The lord is awesome....
I Give You My Heart
This is my desire
To honor you
Lord with all my heart
I worship you
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore is in You
Lord, I give you my heart
I give you my soul
I live for You alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me.
I give You my heart
I give You my soul.

who can straighten what he has made crooked?
when times are good, be happy
But when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future
Ecc 7 :13-14

being in orchard on weekend have perks...
while on my breaktime, saw a pagani with four exhaust pipe... people were simply mobbing the car... flashing their one megapixel and clicking their way. haha they really fixed their sights on the car... amzing car i must say, never seen one like this in my entire life.
next , i saw two kids outside paragon playing drums... kids ..say 2-9 yrs old... simply astonished. maybe its just a ploy to make foolish people drop some money for them.... but for a kid who can play a drum better than me... i would ...

went for church .. to the new service for young adults...
the sermon was particuarly for young adults ... really hit the spot most of the time... it was awesome.. just that the music was way too loud... ringing ears by the time i got out of the service....
interestingly, the sermon was abt forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
living in the past will get you nowhere.... forget what was in the past.
knowing what went wrong ---> good
living in the failures ---- > worthless...
here is a quote " as a man tinkers, so is he..."
which means as a man keeps thinking abt the failures, he will fail"
and there is another part of the sermon...
forget abt the sucess and victories you had...
cause living in your sucess will only hamper your further progress. new days require new ways..

Laughter brought me into 2005.. with thoughts tagged along.
went to church for family communion with my cell grp.... got there early and waited for around an hour or so before receiving communion. talked abt what the lord has done for me in 2004...
after that , went to bucks for coffee with mus, zul, xing ,yusrina and farhan. what a gathering it was i have to admit... relived the times when i had the tag of the famous red shirt. hahaha the gang was totally cool.. talked abt the secondary sch life we had together... really miss the moments when we were in sch and ncc... all the bloopers and funny stories... simply amusing... HaHa.. mus had to be the joker of the day where he had this sudden jerk of his body.. happened quite a few times... haha he was the funny man that ushered us into the new year with his sudden jerking dance...
interesting insight with qiu yan's boy while waiting ... he doesn't seem to like pop music ... cause it depresses him... and i totally agree with that... most of the songs are usually abt love, breaking-up and stuff... it kinda brings your mood down by a notch.. keep you gloomy and think of what was done in the past..... really true...
well, 2004... what a year... good and bad... maybe a little more to the bad during 3/4 of the year... got over the emotions i had for huifen ... glad that its over ... learnt that how much a person can mean to me and many more ... thank u huifen...
thankful for the lord for blessing me and guiding me throughout the past year... bringing me back to church... great cell leaders (seline and qiu yan) to see me through* many thanks to you guys* ... had love and joy being with cell... never experienced it for a long time.... ever since i accepted christ... just like a family... it means much to me....
2005 ... i will grow physically, mentally and spiritually...
