Another Chinese New Year?

I should seize this chance to publish a post.

My computer has broken down. More precisely, my router is down. I am unable to access my msn. It has left me dishevelled.

One horrifying incident I would like to put on record would be that of cutting my hair. I paid a hefty TEN bucks for a quality cut at QB Cube. I told her to trim/thin the top but she ended up snipping it all off. I don't really think I look good, but it's ok I guess.

Well, after weeks of ambivalence and contemplation, I have concluded with SMU. There has been no clear reply from the Lord. The next best move for me would be to go to the school of my choice! What's more, they'e been pushing for my matriculation. Been thinking of using their MEGA-gym as well. Well, that's pretty much about it for now.

Chinese New Year: Ang Pows, feasting, feasting, feasting and feasting. Actually, I only went visiting on the first day (ie sunday). It has been fun seeing all your relatives grow older OR bigger.

ok, so much for blogging. Some intermittent thoughts here and there.

Blogskins

I have been searching for a blogskin for quite sometime. I took some extra effort yesterday night since I arrived home early from Lau Pa Sat. (For those of you at TTSH thinking that we went to United Square and vice versa, well, you’re wrong!) The food there was ok, it was a refreshing change from the monotonous routine of going to Novena. Just a side note: Novena’s foodcourt is finally closed! Phew! Finally! Someone who actually notices that food served there isn’t exactly very palatable. Well, back to blogskin searching. I went online and did a search. I spent almost 45mins browsing and viewing skins that people have created. Alas. I found none that suited my taste. Blogskin’s cruel and unforgiving hand sucked that 45mins without giving me anything in return. I concluded that I would stick with the simple plain green design provided by blogger.com. That’s pretty much all for tonight.

And the God who spoke, is speaking still!

Wow, God really speaks! I am utterly and totally awed. Realized after doing quiet time last night that I had looked to much to myself. I was inward-looking. I focused on what was going on within me and didn’t offer God a chance to speak. Well, thank God for quiet time. Hah. Guess what, my dearest Daddy whispered words of encouragement. He told me not to worry and to put my trust in Him. Realised that that was really my root problem – lack of trust! Wow.

So there ya have it. I still don’t really know which university to go, albeit NTU seems to be the prompting in my heart. However, thank the good Lord He enabled me to see beyond myself. I guess, sooner or later He will show me the way. Just have to put my faith in Him. Well, at the end of the day if He doesn’t say anything, I’d probably go SMU. So there ya have it. Period.

My predicament

I need to go pick up my brother from school in approx. 15mins; thought I would seize the chance to blog, lest I lose the desire to. I am seriously distressed. I am so internally unstable. I can’t decide which university to go. Just went down to SMU to ‘catan’ with some of the older ones. And boy, it sure felt like “the place” for me. Hah. Let’s recap my journey.

It all started when I decided to ask God which university I should go. I felt that it was NTU. It wasn’t exactly like, “Send me Lord, I see the call! I see the barrenness of the land! Send me! I will go. It was more like this little feeling that whispered, “ntu..”

As time went by, I gave serious thought to this issue. All along, I had wanted to go SMU for convenience sake. It’s at cityhall!!! Imagine the VAST difference it would be traveling to the two universities! I can’t possible imagine the countless leg muscles that I would stress on the mrt ride from Boon lay to Eunos. Oh boy, not something I would like to eundure for 3years.

The benefits of SMU are many. Yet, a small niggling feeling in my heart (Actually, it’s the area around the centre of my chest, to be exact. Don’t exactly know whether it’s the heart that’s telling me or some other organ.)

There are other factors as well.

The bottom line still remains: I would really like to be where the good Lord wants me to go. It’s too important a decision to let my own flesh take control of. Oh well, I shall continue to seek Him..

Special Christmas Blog

I have realized the power of a blog. The speed at which your blog address spreads is incredible. Hah. Anyway, it’s Christmas! Merry Christmas to all viewing this right now! Thank god, I started writing my cards early. I have learnt my lesson after a few years of rushing cards on the Eve. What a pleasant and serene Christmas Eve. No stress, no need to pump my blood streams with caffeine. Thought I would take this chance to blog since I have time on my hands.

Anyway, the good Lord has really blessed me with much recently. How can I put it down in words? Perhaps a thought here and there would do; since I don’t really wanna waste so much time on a blog. Would rather write it in my diary. Ok, let’s see.

More and more, I have realized how unimportant and small I actually am. God using me and letting me have a chance to partner with Him and see Him use me and the people around me- it’s all because of his grace! I am marveled by the fact that He actually considered me worthy to receive so much of His blessings. I am really awed. God is really so holy that no sin can enter. It’s zilch. I look at myself and I see so much nonsense still. Yet God uses me in so many ways and He has counted me worthy to know Him in such a way. It really is an honour!

Wow. I am really awed. Can’t say that more. Well, thought it would be good to blog it before I forget. It’s really so easy to forget all that He speaks. So listen up all you curious and sneaky people trying to find out more about others! Or maybe you’re just a curious reader! Don’t take God for granted! Hah.

Well, on a lighter note, it’s my last Christmas as a soldier. Can’t wait to ORD. It sure has been an tough and trying time. Nonetheless, He has seen me through. Maybe I will discourse more on it another time. For now, merry Christmas! Go have fun! But don’t forget the baby in the little manger…
