evangelism

did you know that if i shared the gospel to one person every year and did so for 34 years, and every person i shared to continues sharing to one person a year until the 34 years is up and so on,
meaning first year, 1 person knows christ. second year, two, third, 4, fourth , 8, fifth, 16, then 32, then 64 and so on.
at the end of 34 years, the number will hit the world's population.
EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ON THIS PLANET WOULD BELIEVE IN CHRIST.
except that about i dont know. 10 million of the world's 7 or so billion people are already christians. so we dont need the full 34 years.
WOULDNT THAT BE AMAZING?
why dont we put that into practice. hmm.
except that i know that some people will never believe. but i mean.
the thought of it is so delicious.
incredible.


anyway, we had ballet under the stars auditions today. the auditioner was pretty impressed with our dance. she did zaki before too. ex sajc student. haha.
and mrs chen is super super nice. she gave us youth day presents. garbage can sweets. just that i accidentally dropped mine in the canteen and about ten fell out. so left with seven. but before that we already ate quite a few.
and i didnt go for love mg this year. again! ahhhhh!
and its all laura kohs fault cos she decided to pungseh me today.
GRAH.
and i did the math online test. and i SOMEHOW I DONT KNOW HOW BY GOD'S GRACE GOT FULL MARKS.its amazing. for those who dont know, which is almost everyone. i keep failing online tests. for some reason. so yeah. its super amazing. haha.
okay thats all.

okay i'm updating this time because of amanda liu. but you know what, it feels great cos i have two amazing friends who want to know how i feel and what i have to say to the rest of the world and therefore bug me to blog. :D i love them so.
okay uh. last wed was amanda's birthday.
clap clap clap! happy birthday amanda!belated.
haha. had piano in the morning. then went to lavender with jessie to get her a pinata from concourse. twenty five bucks. ahhh. made everyone pay two bucks. NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, HAS PAID UP YET. haha.
anyway, then we also went to check the costume shop twice, before and after we went concourse cos i hadnt taken my measurements for cheer costume yet. then it was closed. anyway on sunday i realised it was the wrong shop we went to. haha! then took a bus all the way down to tanah merah. amandas nice new house. despite her telling us to take mrt. anyway. then we went there. had porridge for lunch. the rest of the cheer girls had to wait for us to eat =x jessie had two bowls. i had FOUR =x haha. super hungry! and the porridge was nice anyway.haha. then cheer prac. then lalalala. then went to the pit. bbq. eat talk lalalala. then all the usual stuff. cake. the guys dunked amanda. and davchoo.haha. then went back to the house. amanda bathed. we set up the pinata in her carpark in the basement there. then yeah. we all took turns hitting it. then it broke in the end. there was so much sweets (we had to get them seperately) then yeah. sit around talk talk. then went home. basically, amanda's old now. :D

(paragraphing-jess' suggestion) then on thurs and fri had dance camp. fun fun. jamie was our group leader ! yays. and i was asst. then we had vicky(: and audrey.and three new sec ones i didnt know. then yeah. played games the whole time. the food was okay. milo was not bad. we had to choreograph a dance to given music. my group was crazy frog and westlife. we chose westlife. so mainly i choreographed it with vicky. it was this jazz ballet thing. then we WON! :DDDDDDDDDDD. haha. whoo! and we were the 'most united group!' then yeah. anyway on sat i fell sick. fever. and sorethroat. so didnt go for choir or cheer. cos i couldnt get out of bed anyway. then on monday no fever, but i developed flu (and therefore running nose) and cough. really bad. and still the sorethroat. ahh. i cant sing. i sounded like a frog, a duck and a polar bear. blah. didnt go for r-age awareness rehearsal today either. johann told me to stay at home and rest. it turned out most ppl who went for dance camp fell sick.
okay then sunday. church. then d&d rehearsal. BLAH. haha. then went costume shop take measurements. saw a sample. not going to tell you what it looks like. then home! : DDDD

then on monday school. yeah. mrs ng and laoshi not in sch these few days. on course. but they gave us alot of work. we have to do yilunwen comments! by tmr. and mrs ng gave us eyewitness report to write for act 4 scene dont know what. a fatal brawl. okay no one knows what im talking about anyway.then yeah. until today. we've been pretty much slacking. and i pretty much dont know what to say.

everyday i worry. i worry about . aiya everything. about people. about what they think. about datelines. about my work. about what im going to do with the rest of my life. about my voice. about everything. i want to quit worrying.
the bible says to not worry about anything. but ask God.
but aiya.
no peace about this matter laa.
okay nvm.pray more.
pray pray pray.
talking to God like spending time just sitting in His presence and thinking about Him gives me peace though.

then what else iw ant to say.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE MY MAMA AND PAPA. THEY'RE THE BEST.

retreat and updates.

hey everyone!
i have not blogged in the longest time. and i am blogging NOW. even though im dying to dance cos im already wearing pointe shoes because my darling one and only jessie tan mei jun called me a LIAR. okay fine i didnt keep my promise. i said i would blog on monday. today's tuesday. SORRY JESSIE IM BLOGGING NOW. plus the extra paragraph i promised.

here is a dedication to jessie tan, the bestest friend i could ever have :
you're really nice, and i think you've grown alot since last year. i find you very considerate towards others' feelings now and you seem more sensible, like knowing when to shutup more and when to tell us to shutup. okay maybe not us, it's just amanda. (KIDDING AMANDA!) i'm glad you can speak in tongues now! and yeah, we can all pray together. i feel closer to you each day. and you know what, you're one of the extremely few people i can actually talk about how i feel to. like i can tell almost everyone what happens and all about my life. but to actually talk about how i feel, it takes alot for me to do that cos aiya. i have alot of pride. haha. so yeah. you have to feel honoured okay! and yeah, i feel really comfortable with you. i dont mind being shorter than you. its okay. i like having tall friends. just not too tall. wo jue de ni bi jiao dong shi le. (like why we cant wear fbts to service.HAHAHA!) and yeps, i love you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much dear(:

and amanda, just so you won't feel jealous and complain, i love you alot to honey<3

okay. now for what ive been up to for the last two weeks.
RETREAT '07. it was amazing. like what gaomin said, it wasn't explosive, but it sure was an experience. i had lots of fun hanging out with well. the usual people. jessie amanda sam toh lanz choo and keef. and adora(: i had quite a number of chats with adora this retreat, and i really enjoyed them. ADORA, I LOVE TALKING TO YOU. yeah, haha she's a really great sister and someone who's spiritually more mature than me to listen to for advice, and points to learn. and just yeah, learn from her. but adora, dont get too ego okay. haha.
retreat was great, i enjoyed all the worship sessions. well i always enjoy retreat. and the food was really, horrid. the day out at alamanda shopping centre, we had a&w! haha. ancient alr right? but the rootbeer float was so cool. reminded me of the OLD days. when i was young. sigh.haha. but it was really, quite long ago. eight years i guess? and what else. the preacher was very sensitive to God. He kept telling us to listen listen listen. and he would ask people to just shout out words the received. super cool. yeah. not much to say.haha. then after that, i cant rmb what i did for the whole of last week. besides going for camy rehearsals, doing hw, oh btw, im more or less done with hw. just have to print, find out how to do those i dont know how to do and yeah. clean up. so happy with myself. satisfaction is sweet man!
oh yes and i've been busy with cheer. well didnt actually go for much practices, but doing those stunts are cool. haha like holding people's feet while they try to stand on our hands.haha and choir for r-age awareness. johann forced all trainees to go. and we have officially finished camy training. last sat was the last, so sad. i really loved it. it was like, the highlight of my week, smth i looked forward to everyday of sch. not that i dont love sch. mg is the best sch ever but. yeah. and we had our showcase. it went fine. like normal normal. then. yeah i guess thats it, wait for interviews and see if i can somehow pass. i really hope i do.=x

and sunday was fathers day and we went to eat at this really really nice restaurant at raffles city. szechuan court or smth. daddy always knows nice restaurants. he has this whole long list of restaurants he goes to with clients but doesnt bring us there. boo. haha. anyway.
im starving now, i really want to eat, everyone else is eating alr.
cheer and choir prac later.
and you know what? i really really miss dancing.
i dance in my house, by the way. but i think everyone who knows me well enough knows i do that kind of thing. like my classmates. i dance in class.LOL. during recess.
haha okay thats it. i really want to EAT.
BYEBYE.: D

happy birthday to me

haha i'm officially an old woman.
anyway. i had really the best time ever yesterday.
i just want to thank God for all my friends. each one of them are just so special and fun to be with and i love them so much and i couldn't ask for more.
God has been so good to me allthese years. and i'm glad that i have gotten to know Him more, and i've experienced and known Him differently from the last birthday to this.
and this birthday i realise how unworthy i am of God's love and blessings. but at the same time i'm glad that He has showered all these upon me.
the material gifts aside, i was kept smiling the whole day in the company of the ohsogreat two tee people! it was way fun:D and the photo montage (i think it's spelt this way?) was probably about the most thoughtful gift i've ever received? yeah. its really nice. and kindof self-honouring. haha. put this gigantic frame of pictures of my my my and my face up on the wall. YEAH! xD hahaha. and yeah.

ps - jessie and amanda, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU TWO SOOOOO MUCH<3

okayokay draw a line, imagine this is the second post. haha.
i really need to change my blogskin la. its getting old and bleh. i'll never get myself to cos im lazy esp when i come online, cos i come online either during free time where i just want to relax and pig out, or cos i need to do hw, and hence have no time to look for a new one.

okay anyway last monday to thursday i was at malaysia for camp. camp keizan. or smth like that. haha. anyway i was the group leader and everything was really fun. the activities were challenging and really away from our comfort zone. the food wasnt very nice. or clean either. the table was constantly infested with plenty of flies and ants and spiders and whatnots. we had to wash our own dishes at the sink which smelt really bad. really really bad. the lights in my dorm wouldnt come on. the dorms had no beds, just a raised wooden platform and we put our sleeping bags on it. and iwas squashed in between michelle hwang and amanda and i seriously have no space to myself. like framed by them. so if the move in, i cant lie properly so i stay awake for ten minutes trying to move them back without waking them up. =x haha. we went trekking in to the jungle several times. i got one leech bite.leeches arent that bad. their bites dont hurt or anything. but almost everyone screamed at one. (I DIDNT OKAY!) all you have to do when you see one on your leg is spray 'off' the mosquito repellent. then it will freeze and curl up into this puny black ball. then you flick it off. tada. simple. haha. then it'll bleed for awhile but okay one la. not much blood lost. had lots of fun with my group. got a little tanner i think. the bathing conditions were quite bad. just this conjested stall, some dont even have locks. the floor looks gross so dont look down. the hooks are rusty and dented. theres this small tap and a pail and a small scoop so you fill the pail with water and pour it on yourself. how fun. i didnt fill my bottle there. i didnt drink much. the water tasted sooooo gross. like mixed with our old food. seriously . im not exaggerating. anyway on the way back on the fourth day we got this nice nice seafood lunch at the kelong. the juice tasted SOOO good. and we got treated to coke!WHOOO. haha. and i really liked camp still and i made new friends there and my job was mama them and make sure they eat and bathe and all. and rara of course. then came back home. had to wash and hang clothes and prepare ppt and all for presentation on friday. friday presentation, it went pretty well. haha. then learning journey to kranji war memorial and changi museum. both were nice peaceful and restful. the kranji war memorial was interesting. second time there but i learnt alot more this time. cos first time went with family, no guide to tell you lots of stuff. haha. then went to lunch at btp at pizza hut with michelle wee. then went grocery shopping at the renovated ntuc there. i went up to visit forms but it was closed.i havent seen the new studio yet. IM SO SAD I WANT TO DO BALLET AGAIN. AHHHHHHHHH. BLAH. okay then we decided to cook chicken stew. so anyway we went back to her house, watched stuff on her com then just lazed, read magazines then we cooked the chicken stew. it was nice! and bathed.t hen dinner. then eat eat.then watch more stuff on the com. then talk talk in her room then fell asleep. and i left my watch in her house the next day. her mom drove us out. send her to tuition and dropped me at kap. cabbed to g2. saturate! ushered. i learnt alot during one of the workshops.and this new song - assuredly yours. love it. then 4.30 to 7.30 was our dinner break. melong josh sam lester caleb and i went to 3 john. then josh sam lester and i played cards. daidee. i dont know how its spelt la. anyway i hadnt lost a game until they decided whoever lost three times would go down and buy dinner for them. so anyway after that i started losing. POO. then yeah in the end i had to buy the dinner. then i was nice enough to run all the way down to goodness knows where to get buble tea for them. then after that. i cant rmb much. amanda jessie deborah eunice and g abwai appeared for the night service. they didnt come in the day. then went to amanda's house to sleepover that night. had a good talk with her on the way back. i love talking la. yakyak yak. hahahah. my favourite past time!
