hmmmm... I think its blogging time!



oh whoops my watch is off

or maybe it isn't O.o who knows?



I has new beak
I has new claws
and I has new feathers :D

I hate stumbling, especially so soon after breaking out into a run
and I hate when I know I can stop it, but I don't >.<
*facepalm*
ah well

its in His hands



raaaawrr
in His timing
I trust in Him.



off the mountain, spread your wings
trust in Him, the King of Kings
through blazing fire and scorpion stings
to the rugged cross I'll cling

haha, impromptu poems are more fun than you'd think :D

I love my God :D

ni!
I opened this page an hour ago
:s
distracted by shiny objects

ANYWAY
yes, its been a good week :D
CDP was quite fun, bonding with the .11's
heh, massive ponning on friday

and yes, God has been good :D
I throughly enjoyed SP empowerment
Imma jar of clay
hard pressed, but not crushed

then chet's birthday surprise
which worked or failed, depending on whether you ask chet or mel :p
seeing chet in his half asleep state is totally worth waking up at 9am for
okay, more like 9.30
before 8am I am catatonic!
which explains my mood in lessons :p

ni! need to stop playing freecell
getting addicted!
but its quite fun lah :D
I BLAME JUN YONG

and yes, service today was good
don't give up :D
heh, SP empowerment, then fuel, then service

really awesome.
more awesomer than awesome
ITS BE-AWESOME

triumph is on its way

so, yea, I'm back.

hm... not really in a blogging mood right now.

right, will return with a proper blog post sooner or later :p



hang on people, our God's stronger

I'm leeeea-ving, on a jetplane (actually more like a bus-that-I-hope-will-drive-safely)
don't know when I'll be back again (actually, the 21st)

anyway, its the annual school trip
will be travelling up to malaysia tomorrow morning
hope to spend some time bonding with my class :D
will be back next wednesday
probably with more randomness

will leave you with a song before I go

Where The Love Lasts Forever - Hillsong United





when all else fades my soul will dance with You
where the love lasts forever :)



seeya in six

Lamentations 3:57
'You came near when I called You,
and You said, "Do not fear."'

meh, should so sleep, but must blog!

anyway, today was sister grace and brother victor's wedding
HAHA, the only thing I can really say is that they're really cute
it was... nice lah.
God was happy :D



I'm not sure I'm of sound enough mind to blog, but persevere I must!
anyway, fuel today, on the promises of God
Heh, yes, good teaching
God is faithful :D
even when we aren't :p
and He will give us every place we set our foot
I believe Lord :)

service was amazing awesome
I love when God decides to flood
haha, it seemed like pastor andy was very xin tong to cut short worship
would have loved to worship more
BUT, worship is not just singing :D
neither is it limited to church

with everything Lord :)
its a great song
and even when pastor andy told us to just focus in on God
and the presence of God was just filling the room
then the people started singing
and it was beautiful :)

with everything
with everything
we will shout for Your glory
with everything
with everything
we will shout forth Your praise

our hearts will cry
"Be glorified
be lifted high above all"
for You our King
with everything
we will shout forth your praise

such a beautiful song



listen to:
Offering by Paul Baloche


will probably be re-visiting the lyrics of this song some time later

and of course,
With Everything, performed by Hillsong


must must must must must listen to the outro




goosebumps like crazy
chill went down spine
its just that part where the whole stadium was just lifting up their hands
and the worship was the if-we're-silent-the-rocks-will-cry-out kind
amazing



right, shall leave you with that, goodnight!

heh, no school today

just when I really started getting annoyed by school
DRONG goes and gives us a holiday :D

thank you past Year 6 students :D:D:D

I'm actually beginning to worry about IB
BUT, as God plans, so it will happen
so I shall not worry :)

anyway, birthday dinner for our dear xuexue last night
haha, quite fun
made a few fun observations

I've realised that with my new hair, I need to look down more
when I tilt my head up I look bald O.O

God is good
all the time
all the time
He is good :D

actually started work on history :O
I'm glad I got Jarret Khan again for history
cause he's one of those teachers I really respect
plus, it helps that history is interesting :D



as school begins, so does the great eyebag cycle
monday: fine
tuesday: grey
wednesday: black
thursday: blacker
friday: blackest to the maximum spider (HAHA ARIEL)
saturday: better
sunday: all clear :D
then press repeat
YOU GET THE IDEA

also, it appears my quadrapop skills are not bad
high score of 1.8 million! :D
yes, feeding ego and all :p



Jeremiah 39:17-18
"But I will rescue you on that day, declares the LORD; you will not be handed over to those you fear. I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the LORD.' "

tee hee, my God is awesome :D
I'm just really happy with His love right now

totally gay, but I don't mind shame
I love my God, and Jesus is His name
He's the King of kings, the Lord of lords
life with Him, you'll never get bored :)

HAHA, TOTALLY AWESOME POEM

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life; love illumines it


--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

wah, first day of school.

ground is hard >.<



not the point!

listen to good song

lyrics embedded.



my God is good to me :D
He has made me glad.

Where there is scarcity, there will be plentiful. An overflowing plentiful.

I remember (quite distinctly) the first night service of RAD(I)CAL camp
I didn't go up for altar call but all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with emotion
and suddenly His presence showed up
and He just kept saying that "its alright gid, its alright"
then He was silent
but He didn't need to say anything
because His presence did all the talking
crying so hard
then suddenly I whispered
"Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God."
which is from Psalm 42:11
then suddenly I was smiling
and I felt the sadness leaving, and it was replaced
with love
His love

and all was well with the world.



Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

so, here's 2009.

whoa, I'm sixteen.

I'm ooooold.

now there are three generations of ignyters younger than me.

WAHHHHHHHHHHH.

right, not the time.

Anyway, it has been a good few weeks.
The surprise party for joelle was really fun :D
hahaha, I think she genuinely was surprised
spending time with the gang again
the complete gang (including xue)
my close friends
it was good :)

and watchnight!
a year of life, life abundant
John 10:10 (KJV)
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
