fridays @ Friday, August 31, 2007
I feel so loser, cause I'm not out somewhere
heh, oh the boredom

its been a good week, and a good term
this being the one term where I passed my chinese
God has been good to me =D
teacher's day was fun, if not for the fact that we were let off so late
but its alright, cause that meant more "recess" time that was spent playing bridge

Had a good talk with BZH yesterday
I think too much of what he said was too true
alot of times, I never think myself capable enough
and although I've said these words before, its only now that God's opened my eyes, to see what they really mean
that I don't have to be perfect, because God doesn't need me to be
because He works in my weakness
and turns it into strength
and most of all, its not by might, not by power, but by the spirit of God that works are done.
And I know the exams are coming, which is bad news
but I know God has a plan
and I know it won't be my strength
cause that isn't much use
but its His

I love my God
above all else
and He will give me
strength nothing can compare to

Because the wildfire's spreading
and because "Those who are with us are greater than those who are with them" 2nd Kings 6:16

sundays @ Sunday, August 26, 2007
hah, now ruth can't say I didn't post on sunday

yesterday was good
heh
always seem to say that
well, its because any day that I spend time in the house of my God is good

yes, I did go shopping with joelle
oh dont look so shocked!
standing around while she tries on 5 different outfits
no comment

then, service
commissioning
I had hoped I wouldn't be first
then brother victor went :" first up, mr...."
in my mind: oh crud
"gideon goh!"
"cruddddddd. smiles now"

heh
yes, I'm being random
then, midway through worship
"Gid, stay silent for a second"
"yea God?"
"Do you hear that?
Its the sound of a broken people
Its the sound of a strengthened army
Its the sound of desperation
Its the sound of revival"
My God is the best poet ever

pretty much summed up my day
and I eagerly await the sept holidays
however short they may be
DRONG! I want my holiday!



Dear _______,
I don't think I care much what the world thinks anymore. And I know I'm such a wuss, texting you like that. But... its because I can't myself to tell you face to face. I hate giving you up. I really do. I've been wrestling with God for the past few months, because I needed to know if there was another way, but there isn't. I've talked to Him, whined at Him, demanded of Him, but there just isn't. And I cried at the altars, because I knew I had to. The others, I don't know how they did it. How they gave up what meant so much to them. I don't know how they did it, but I have to. And I'm sorry. For the umpteenth time, I'm sorry.

friday @ Friday, August 24, 2007
God surprises me
"heh, gid? do you feel like writing me a song?"
"huh?"
"dont worry, I'll do it with you, how's that?"
"hmmm... okay!"

not gotten far, but here's the bridge and chorus
bridge
you've opened my eyes and now I see
how much you've been moving in me

chorus
sing to the King of kings
sing to the Lord of lords
sing hallelujah to
the God of all (repeat)

yay
I boast in my God, for he gives me strength :) and not to mention joy
I think there were times this week where the devil was laughing away because he stole a victory
but God's having the last laugh, cause he took it back
for my sake
heh
I love my God

ooo yes, before I forget
the peanut butter poem!

Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is so cool
and I could eat a pool
Peanut butter is so hot
and I could eat a lot
Peanut butter is so yummy
I want it to fill my tummy
Peanut butter is the best
you should put it to the test

yay for peanut butter!
bigger yay for her!
biggest yay for my God!
yay!

friday @ Thursday, August 23, 2007
ho hum, boredom
highlight of today:
I saw a complete parhelic circle!
whats a parhelic circle, you may ask
a parhelic circle is where you see a rainbow-coloured circle around the sun
so. amazing.
just times like that that make me in awe of the beauty God made
amazing
simply amazing
3:58 PM

Missed you every minute of it.
I love you,
and you're beautiful, no matter what anyone else says.

monday @ Monday, August 20, 2007
mmm, past few days have been good

saturday was awesome!
Stare what stare was really funny
somehow, zach just being zach is funny
good choice for emcee
plus, so many people got saved!
whoooo!
best part of the day
heh
really good
macs was fun too
and I sat on the spinny-thingy again
joy!
plus, went to botanics
emo spot!
heh

sunday
long, but strangely fun
heh, tuition was so random
my tuition teacher is the most psychotic and funny(at the same time!) person you will ever meet

monday
highlight of the day
ACS(I) RUGBY C DIV BEAT SA 10-7
which, to us, is a horrible win
I mean, for the past two years, the worst score I've ever heard was a win by 12-7
yeeeesh
BUT!
I actually cheered!
which is shocking
and also why my throat hurts now
heh
worth it

we better get a holiday
10:52 PM

fridays @ Friday, August 17, 2007
ahhh, friday
you know, I didn't realise that its already the 8th week
last time I checked what week it was, it was week 4
but another thing I realised
is that all my projects have been handed up
ahhh, the slack-ness
today's been a good day
and I feel joy :)

just because I feel like it:
6 people that mean the world to me
1. Benn. hmm, obvious choice no? My best friend, and the only person in my life who has ever made an entire powerpoint presentation to cheer me up when I felt down. Thanks benn!
2. Ariel. although the only time we seem to talk is in the presence imminent doom, she's still been a great friend to me.
3. Benedict! probably the closest guy friend I have. I know I treat him like crap sometimes, but he's stuck to me. and for that, I am grateful beyond words.
4. Brian. heh, the guy who can almost match my lame-ness level, annoy me, yet has spoken words into my life that mean alot. Thank you kor!
5. Valerina. My mei, who I never talk to enough! she goes through much, but its my honour to be there for her. keep safe, mei!
6. (saving best for last), Michele! who has never failed to find some way to get me to smile. I thank you for all you've ever done for me, thank you michy.

and the others that follow
xue er! who's going away at the end of the year :(. I think when she goes, the two things I'll remember her by are black espadrilles and peanut butter. oh yes, the peanut butter and shoe poem
joelle! (my gay partner, heh, still remember, although its so wrong), and, no, I don't think you look primary 6
anders! don't talk to you enough anymore man, we shall work on that.
ruth! my mei who has given me so so much sugar. thank you!
joshua au. who can be an idiot at times, but is someone I will still call friend
BZH! haven't seen him in a while, always seems to be somewhere else. come back to your buzz group!
jean ho! who has provided so much encouragement and words of wisdom, and who also inspired everybody to write on me at last years church camp. ah, memories. thanks jean!
david! oii, never talk much to you anymore. the song where'd you go pops into mind. its sad we hardly talk anymore.
grace tang! said this before, will say it again, we need to talk!
inez! heh, catching up needs to be done
vera! haven't talked to you in a long long long time, and I've forgotten all the stupid nicknames you gave me. reminiscing
derek! haven't talked much since played out. we shall go and goof off soon yea?
gabriel fang! half idiot, half friend. heh, thanks for all you've done
julian! mr. hopeless-at-stuff. hope you enjoy your utorrent
javian! SB! apologies for not going to the many soccer thingies.
jared koh! (this time, it was saving the worst for last):P I take great pleasure in annoying him, and he does annoying me. but thanks for the kind words, and the encouragements

... and so many more.
I don't know why I did this
but.. these people all mean something to me
and although there were times where I wanted to take all their troubles as my own
but God's taught me that I can't carry the weight of the world.
cause when you try to, you have a tendency of getting crushed by him.
So I'm letting him carry my weight
because its not mine to carry anymore
and I like it that way
thank you God
for all you've done
but more importantly
for who you are

long post
shall retreat back to my slacking
I'm strangely happy
but you don't hear me complaining :)
7:16 PM

wednesday @ Wednesday, August 15, 2007
I don't usually blog on wednesday
but I'll make an exception

after 4 years of not passing chinese (not including PSLE, that was too easy)
I have finally passed!
Hallelujah!
yay!
Thank you God! :)

my slides were awwwwesome
heh
plus, me and xue er have innovated a shoe poem
goes a little something like this

"black espadrilles are really hot
and modani shoes make you look short"

its due to her head
that's about the size of a dot

hah

best. epic. movie. ever.
and, for the record, Paris (and, therefore, Orlando Bloom), is a pansy, a wuss, call it what you want, means the same thing.
He crawls back to his brother! during a duel to the death!
I mean come on, its about honour

oh dont look SO surprised I'm awake

spent the good part of the morning on the phone with benn
ahh, good talk

heh, I'm glad to see what God is doing
and, yes, I am strangely glad that everyone is falling sick
more specifically, because everyone in IGNYTE is falling sick
doesn't take a genius to tell that its something the devil's trying to do
which is fantastic!
because it means we're all growing!
yay for sickness!

Gideon
penguiknight/krantol
Jeremiah 29:11
"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 a hope and a future."

intro
There's so much about life that I don't know about yet, and there's so much that God teaches me as I walk with Him everyday. This is where I record what I learn, my reflections on His revelations. My hope is that through the words you read, you hear His voice, not mine. And if it puts a smile on your face, that's an added bonus

talk it out
