They're playing classical music at Holland V Starbucks! :) That's awesome.
Just got ultra thick coursepack for one of my sociology modules. It looks like 2 encyclopedias combined. And that's only ONE module. Can't imagine the other 3. Looks like it's going to be reading madness this semester, and the next probably.
Waiting for CA team meeting to start. Would be exciting to hear from one another. With Melvin doing work in church, Robin "serving" his MC during his BMT, David doing ST for another year, Liting going EA for short stint! And me, still excited about school despite the horrendous load of readings. Thesis or no thesis? Hmm..
(From The Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers)
If the Son of God has been born into my human flesh, then am I allowing His holy innocence, simplicity, and oneness with the Father the opportunity to exhibit itself in me? What was true of the Virgin Mary in the history of the Son of God’s birth on earth is true of every saint. God’s Son is born into me through the direct act of God; then I as His child must exercise the right of a child— the right of always being face to face with my Father through prayer. Do I find myself continually saying in amazement to the commonsense part of my life, "Why did you want me to turn here or to go over there? ’Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’ " ( Luke 2:49 ). Whatever our circumstances may be, that holy, innocent, and eternal Child must be in contact with His Father.
Am I simple enough to identify myself with my Lord in this way? Is He having His wonderful way with me? Is God’s will being fulfilled in that His Son has been formed in me (see Galatians 4:19 ), or have I carefully pushed Him to one side? Oh, the noisy outcry of today! Why does everyone seem to be crying out so loudly? People today are crying out for the Son of God to be put to death. There is no room here for God’s Son right now— no room for quiet, holy fellowship and oneness with the Father.
Is the Son of God praying in me, bringing honor to the Father, or am I dictating my demands to Him? Is He ministering in me as He did in the time of His manhood here on earth? Is God’s Son in me going through His passion, suffering so that His own purposes might be fulfilled? The more a person knows of the inner life of God’s most mature saints, the more he sees what God’s purpose really is: to ". . . fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ . . ." ( Colossians 1:24 ). And when we think of what it takes to "fill up," there is always something yet to be done.
I had no idea how we did the Grainger in 3 weeks or less. Was amazing, and all thanks to Mr Ku's volunteer work, and all the encouragement we got. Thanks en and min for this cool opportunity to play with you ladies! :)
Oh, and Jeremy, have fun in NS. You'll be dearly missed during quartet. :)
... spending time with God in the little corner in the Central Library.
... going to Crusade Corner on Thursday morning to find loads of crusaders having DG at 8am.
... hanging around at the Corner.
... popping by Corner during lecture breaks to say hi to the staff.
... seeing people pray, support and encourage one another at the Corner.
... having DG, PIG, DWG, LM.
... having lunch at the Corner.
... eating the laksa Yong Tau Foo from the Arts Canteen.
... craving for the "too sweet" strawberry milkshake.
... the Uncle at the drinks store talking to me about my violin, and his, while I fill the cup with teh-O.
... reserving seats before lectures for friends.
... going for lectures and eagerly waiting to hear Dr Goh teach.
... coming out of lectures feeling so concentrated with information.
... walking along corridors and saying quick "hi"s to people.
... the smiles that I'll gather no matter how good or bad my day is.
Sort of looking forward to starting school. *yay*

Still got to make major decisions about piano - guide me!
Worship this Saturday, so lead me! Guide me to lead Your people into praising You and exalting Your name.
I pray that $$$ will stop making the world go round, and that people will not get so obsessed with making $$$.
Broken, inside out. Which is not a bad thing. Draw me near to You.
Dotz is married! I'm happy she has found someone whom she'll want to spend the rest of her life with! I think the song "When God made you, He must be thinking of me" so truly describes their relationship! I wonder if I've really found "the one". Don't know. Anyway, Dotz was so pretty and her evening gown was so diva and awesome! :)
Sweet couple! Congrats! You're married! :)
Things have been coming to a standstill, ever since church camp. No more cell, no more random movie outings, no more dinners outside, no more dinners at with our families, no more this, no more that. But some things have been occuring, nightmares for no reason (which I don't even remember but I just get very tired when I wake up), my eczema (maybe cos I'm stressed and thinking too much), Ivan hospitalized etc.
you've been far away, somehow I don't really know how to talk to you anymore. you've been too engrossed with work, with making more $$$. $$$ doesn't make the world go round, only God's love does. I only get to hear of things when decisions are made. Then I'd rather be kept out of the loop. How? Honestly, now I don't know if you're really the one. I think we're on different frequencies. It's like, we're not running into any mega problems, but sometimes I just do not feel the connection anymore. But why do tears still well up in me even as I think? Maybe I'm confused. Actually now I just want to spend time with God first, and my piano. I should velcro myself to the piano stool, like what min and I saw at Bach in AC.
Ok, my eyes hurt. Ouch. Hope the eczema doesn't act up again.
