Give Thanks - Don Moen

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Such an old song. But so meaningful. In all circumstances, give thanks, praise Him! Even though we do not know why God allow things/situations to happen in our life, all the ups and down. Always give thanks, no matter how good or how bad. Submit all your emotions to Him because He sees the bigger picture. Don't back out, cause God has a plan for you.

"You (Jesus) stood before my failure and carried the cross for my shame, my sins weighed upon Your (Jesus) shoulders, my soul now to stand."

What else can i do but to worship Him? "In awe of the One who gave it all."

Running after You - Planetshakers

Really like this song alot! What a fun way to depict the song! :D)-)

Croissants - one of the best pastry experience i have ever bake in my life.

Love the outer brown coatings and the stacks of flaky layers in a croissants. And not to leave out; the buttery flavour. Best tasting dough and loads of folding required.

This is the reason why i love baking... you roll and fold and roll and fold. that effort is put into making the layers in the croissants. And when you put into the oven, it just 'magically' poof out into this! 

Wanna thank my FNN teacher who taught me how to do this in secondary school! Really cant forget that experience when she did not want to reveal to me what i was making back then... she just kept asking me to fold and roll and fold and roll! until it comes out from the oven! haha! something that i will keep with me for life. :) 

All for Love - HILLSONG

Thank You Jesus.

So... i met someone at the bus stop after creative discipleship just now... someone whom i've not met for years... someone who tuition-ed me chemistry 6+ years ago (when church started this tuition ministry). That someone who did not give up hope on teaching chemistry to me when i myself, gave up hope on chemistry. That someone who tried loads of methods to get my attention and always tolerated my 'hyperactiveness' .... and taught me with loads of passion. And because of that passion in teaching, i got really interested in chemistry. And because of that, i'm on my way to pursue my masters in the chemistry-related industry...

That someone is called mona lisa. actually her name is lisa, its just that i cant remember her surname. kept calling her mona... or lisa... she was the keyboardist in z3 last time, dont really know where is she now...

And for your info, i have really short attention span... i can't read long paragraphs for like more than 30seconds - 4 minutes. that is why i love putting loads of spaces between my words and loads of fullstop when im typing, it is to take a breather; like a brain-is-loading kind of thing '...' to make it easier for me to read.

I was on the verge of giving up my sciences 2 weeks before my N levels and letting go the opportunity to take up O levels in sec 5 cause i totally DID NOT understand WHAT IS CHEMISTRY IS ABOUT! :(

But sister nana saw how bad my science results are (always a U) and managed to get lisa to tutor me 2 weeks before my N levels, and because of that, i got a B for my sciences. Thats where i got really interested in science.

And now, i did not expect myself to be in the science industry.

So, once again, thank you lisa. thanks for teaching chemistry. teaching with that passion of yours. thanks for being a mentor and a good teacher. God bless you. hahahaha

Beautiful Saviour - Planetshakers

"From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)."

-Matthew 27:45-46

Jesus knew about this, He knew that He had to bear the sins of the world and die on the cross for us. Yet He still chose to die for us. This was the point where He had to leave the presence of God in order to die for our sins. And how scary to leave His presence, I can't imagine. He did it just for us.

So... last saturday after dinner, as i'm walking home, I suddenly felt so physically drained that i just wanted to  just sit on a bench below my house, put aside everything and spend time with God. And as i was doing that....

This cat came, jump onto the bench and took a sit beside me... LOL! hahaha! i find that very cute. So i went to pet it... and it started climbing over me for about 3 times. Like marking its territory! haha! then the cat would just sit quietly beside me and soon after a while, it was sleeping soundly beside me. Once a while the cat would open its eye to check whether im still here or not.. which made me not want to leave (so i sat there for about an hour before i go up.)

okay, as i was meditating and praying. the 2 songs below just popped up in my head. and i started to worship God with that! hahah!

Reason for feeling so physically drained?

Yes, I'm taking part time studies (night classes) in sp now... Advanced diploma in polymer technology (it is a thru-train for me to pursue my masters in polymer technology-material science)... and yea, school started last week. every monday, wednesday and friday... and there will be meetings on tuesdays and thursdays, everyday reaching home at 11+, sleep at 12+am. And wake up at 5+am the next morning.

Therefore, my body is kinda not accustomed to this timing yet, so I'm feeling the tiredness. Plus some other commitments i have to do... So i was physically drained and yes! i'm not mentally drained yet! hahahahah! gonna do my report now! hahaha! bye.

God bless!

Baked chicken fillet! TASTY!

Hmm... Everytime when i have nothing better to do at home other than watching youtubes or movies, I would cook. Trying new recipe that suits my tastebuds! This time the chicken fillet was covered in italian herbs and topped with tomato-based sauce! And lettuce as the side to add crunchy-ness to the texture! #notbad haha! 

Yea, this is part of my LG. And we had pizza on saturday after service! And... we can finish 6 large pizza in like 15 minutes! lolol! hungry monsters!

Yea... Really enjoy the time spent with them, playing and growing together physically and spiritually! ahahah! everyone played a huge part in my life! sharing and spurring each other! really thankful for everyone! yea.

"Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.""

- Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

Stop running and come back to Jesus. You'll find rest in Him.

Yea it was brigade enrolment last thursday! 25 years of impacting lives leh! and yea, we managed to get this nice film from the photo booth which we took it with swp, byl and shy! And give it to them as a souvenir in china! hahaha!

So byl and shy had to go back to chengdu already! so fast! sent them on saturday night! look at BYL's stance! LOL!

And yea, Dad got this new honda odyssey and i get to try it on saturday! it's super stable and has a spacious interior as a 7-seater car! ahaha! nice nice, good car!

"Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

Exodus 33:15-16

Moses heart's desire for God's Presence is so real! I want to be like that too! Having that desire for God's Presence no matter where i go!

And because of what Jesus did 2013 years ago, the veil have already been torn for us! So now we can freely experience His Presence! I'm so thankful for that!
