Haiz... didn't get the chance to post it until now...
Anyway, I got my prelim results back!!! Slightly disappointed with my Amaths and Chinese but I'm glad that I did my best and got a reasonable results.
Last Wednesday, Elise and I went to shop in Central. Elise didn't get what she wants and in the end, I was the one buying (which was not supposed to... I'm broke.) a pair of sandals. My previous pair of slippers had injured my feet. It was bought recently and therefore I didn't want to buy a new pair at first coz I might get a wrong choice. Elize asked me to buy it and also pray about it. I did and in the end, the sandals are comfortable.
When I returned home at night, Ona messaged me and asked for shepherding!! I was so happy when I read it. It was the first time she asked it. Since I did not know Ona well as she was my new sheep, we talked about one another the next day. It was interesting and challenging because we really have different personality and lifestyle. But I'm glad that it was an eventful time. After that, I met with Gerlyn to find a new spectacle for myself. Thank God for her! Even though she was very tired after her lesson, she was still willing to accompany me.
Last Saturday was my graduation photo-taking day. It was early in the morning but everyone was having a great time. We had to dress all white and took lots of photos. My friends kept saying that I look a lot like my mother. I guessed it was because I wore a long skirt and a pair of high heels which is what my mother usually wear. After the photo-taking, Gerlyn, Melody, Ay Tyng and I decided to go out and at the same time find a suitable spectacle which I could not find on Wednesday. It was strange to wear all white so I had prepared a new shirt. (anyway, I was going to service later.) In the end, my eldest sister also joined in and we had bought it.
After service, what I learn most is 'Leaders accept responsibility, Loses make excuses.' We have to serving God willingly and not half-heartedly.
Last Sunday, I had bought my Piano Grade 8 books. It was so difficult! I can't believe I am going to play this. During the free time, I went to check some of the Christian names. Recently, my eldest sister had found one, 'Viven' which means alive. I found this interesting and search one for myself. Since my name was hard to pronounce for some people, why not try it? In the end, I found two, Ansel - with divine protection and Vera - truth. I still could not decide.
This morning, I did not know what had came over me but I had the urge to write a song for God. I jotted down some phrases in my notebook. Wow... can't wait to see my final production.

A Long Week
Finally, prelim was over! Really thank God for helping me through this tough period. Without him, I think I will be too stress up. On the last day of prelim, my cg went to Novena to 'celebrate'. It was very tiring after the long walk in the shopping mall.
Yesterday is my church anniversary! I love this message. Don't depend on limitation. Focus on God as everything is possible through him.
After the anniversary, I felt sick. I guessed it must be because of the coldness in the Marquee.(The air conditional was blowing directly at him.) I was so tired when I reach home. I prayed to God that he will heal me as I want to go for the Jump conference the next day.
Today morning, I was feeling a bit better but I was still having a slight fever and a backache. I didn't dare to tell my mother as I know that she would not allow me to go. (The conference was in the morning. She would make a big fuss over it. Anyway, she don't really understand english so it is safe to write down.) Not letting my mum knew I was sick, I went early for the registration. Fanny was surprised to see me so early. I was the only one in my cg to attend this course but luckily, I was not alone as my brother's cg was there.
The conference was good and I learn quite a few things from the second lesson. One of the things is that during choosing of songs for cg, play them to see whether it helps you to encounter God. This is a good instruction. If you can't encounter with God, what's more having the cg member to encounter God.
Before the lunch break, I was slightly distracted as the backache became worse and I was feeling very warm. I kept praying to God to heal me. After the lunch break, I suddenly became much better. God had answered my prayer. I was more attentive than before during the workshop. At night, my previous shepherd, Joanne, messaged me to pray for me. Somehow, the news of my sickness spread to her. Thank God for her caring heart.
I received a message yesterday night from my piano teaching that I pass my Grade 7 practical exam. Yay, I am now officially grade 8! (Praise the Lord!) Now I don't have to worry too much about piano exam and focus on study. Can't wait for the 'O' Level to end. (so that I can be committed to other thing.)

The First Attempt
This is my first time doing a blog... I have seen a lot of people post their thoughts and I felt like doing so....
Today, I was planning to study outside before I went for service as I found that I could not concentrate at home... It had been the same throughout this week of holiday. While I was thinking of an area to study, I met Angela. She was going to met her sheep for shepherding. We talked mainly about our houses, me- clark quay, Angela- Chinatown. Because I am moving around the end of this year or the beginning of next year. I do not really want to move as I have been staying at this place since I was born. It holds a lot of memories... It is also convenient(can go anyway easily with the MRT and shopping centres- central, chinatown, orchard, funan, cityhall...). I have ask my father to renovate but he did not want as it is expensive (The forth level already show a big crack on the wall... hopefully it won't collapse). I didn't mind my parents to have a house at chinatown but as Angela had told me, it was not very safe. Haiz... I want my house!!!
In the end, I followed Angela to centerpoint mac and sat opposite them to study. Prelim is on monday and I am still in my holiday mood.
During service, I had learn a lot from Pastor Jeff about working faith. It struck me a lot. (In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead... James 2:17)
Come to think of it, I had made empty promises to God. Though I did improve last year, I find that recently I have been drafting away from the promises I made. I have to take actions and not just keep having feelings or saying out to do them.
Halfway through the altar call, I had to leave as I had my piano lesson. Sadly, I wouldn't be able to hear finish what Pastor Jeff had to say.
When I went home, the real trouble came. Once again, I had broken the promises and started my 'Anime time'. It had been my hobby since young. Some say that it is not harmful but I have slowly became addicted to it. And when i am addicted to it, my impatient and anger was shown towards my nagging mother. It have become dangerous in my walk with God.
Thats why I started to have this blog so that I can reflect and remember what I have made my promises to God. God is the light in my darkness heart. I believe that God will be able to save me from the temptation as I continue to seek him.
