Unfailing Love..
Chris introduced this song to Fungus two Sundays ago. I didn't realise how beautiful it was until i listened to it carefully today. My heart goes soft, my hands feel weak and i get all emotional whenever i hear it. It sparks an unquenchable thrist in my heart for the Lord... just to say how much i love him.
I skipped school to spend the day studying at home.. but i felt compelled to blog when i heard this song. haha! I LOVE YOU GOD! I woke up this morning and i resolved to commit the day to him. My exams are up next week.. VCE BM in 2 weeks and VCE Chinese in 3 weeks. I'm really unprepared for it.. i'll probably fail Maths General, i know i'm in for a whole lot of study over the next 3 weeks. But i felt like giving him the earliest hours of my day, just after i wake up, before breakfast...
I've been feeling an urge to compose a song for God... it's a gift that he's given me, but i've been brushing it aside due to a "lack of time"... i decided to give God all the time he needed this morning.. and he composed an AWESOME song through me today.. I got my inspiration from Psalm 8.
Lord, your love is unfailing.
It brings a smile to my face
When the sun sets and world seems dark.
You're a God of Grace and Power..
You hold the World in your hand..
Yet you make time for me?
How beautiful are the works of your hands!
I marvel at the horizon that depicts your smile.
And at the way you conduct the waves of the sea..
How the mountains bow before you
And how the birds of the air sing your praise.
But i'm caught up with earthly treasures,
I'm concerned about how i look,
And how others look at me.
May you turn my eyes to look at you,
For you are real..
You never change..
You'll always remain..
Your unfailing love.
Lord, what have i done to deserve your love?

The Works of Your Hands
Verse
Lord your glory,
Stretches out to the ends of the earth
Lord your greatness,
None can compare to you my God.
Pre-chorus
Look there's the sun,
It shines for You.
The mountains roar and the rivers sing,
So will my soul cry out.
Chorus
How wondrous are the works of your hands!
You set the moon on its humble course.
You place the stars right where you want them.
Lord, i don't know.
I don't understand,
Why you would die for me.
O what do you see in me?

What Faithful God...
A Faith Promise Offering - something that the Lord would not normally give to you, unless you trusts you enough for you to pass it on.
When Stuart Robinson preached that at Crossway, God put the figure "$65" in my mind. I didn't know how i was gonna get the money or where i was gonna get it from, all i had was faith that he would provide. $65, not a small sum to me.
Months passed and the Lord hadn't provided me with the money. I had prayed for the money right till the last moment of collection, but i didn't get it. That drew a heavy blow to my faith, but i decided to keep my hope in God.
It was my birthday last week and my grand mum gave me a red packet =) I took to with a pinch of salt until it hit me that i should really take a look at the amount in it.. something prompted me that there was $60 in it... and SURE ENOUGH.. it WAS $60!!! lol! I was shocked! My grand mum had given me $30 in Singaporean dollars and $30 in Aussie dollars! Well, i knew it was from God.. and i decided to give it all to God.. the currency didn't matter. My faith was boosted.
This morning, i thought about it again and i realised that the figure was $65 and not $60. So i looked in my wallet and i THOUGHT i had $5 in coins... but as i was pulling all my coins out, i only had $4! Sigh.. then, a thrilling thought propped up in my mind. My mum had found a $1 Singaporean dollar lying in the backseat of the car and she had given it to me a few weeks back. LOL! I pulled it out immediately and slipped the $5 into the red packet.. i wrote:
"For your faithfulness to me - A Faith Promise Offering"
on the back of the red packet and i put it into the offering bucket in church today.
Praise the Lord! How Faithful is he?! If you still don't believe that God's real, i strongly urge you to seek Him for he LOVES and CARES for you =)
Jerusha and i threw a huge birthday party today =) Thanks to everyone that rocked up. There were about 30 of you! haha! Let's see, sorry if i leave your name out! Tim, Keith, Tony, Keean, Sarah, Jasmine, Franny, Nick, Danica, Angie, Yvon, Gab, Aviel, Janice, Sonja, Qynn, Pete, Josh, Audrey, Steph, Vanessa, Grace, Darren, Shaun, Jacilyn, Reygiel, Angeline and Ruth =)) Thank you all.. you really made me feel so special and appreciated. I'll remember this birthday!
We had a fun time chatting, playing the guitar and eating... then we went to the park for a game of soccer with some girls watched tv and the others sat on the roof of some shed... then we opened the presents.. i got a few awesome presents. Oh, Nick, Shaun, Pete, Grace and several others got me a PINK Barbie dress -.-" loL! and then signed all over it... i promised them that i'll wear it for the formal rally at the end of the year. haha! Right! Oh, i got a awesome-looking lamp from Gab, a funny poster, a photo frame, and some random stuff from everyone. haha! Then we cut the cake - Chocolate and Pandan =)
Well, i was reading the cards after everyone left... and i grew really sentimental. I wonder what i'd do without all these wonderful friends that God has so graciously blessed me with! I thank God for each and everyone one of you :) Danica wrote this in her card, and it left a huge impression on my heart:
"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever i fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all."

The 18th of Oct
I didn't think that my 16th would be memorable, but some of my friends made me feel appreciated. I started the day of rather anxious because of my VCE Chinese Oral exam. I took a train down to the assessment centre down at Camberwell and time really flew by.. i was in the exam room before i knew it! I did really well at the General Conversation, but i totally flunked the Detailed Study part. Sigh... i hope that doesn't stuff my study score up :(
Anyway, i spent the rest of the day in the city with Marcus and Charlie and then Marcus and i went to play Soccer with our friends after they finished school. I kindda promisedmyself that i wouldn't play Soccer on my birthday.. but there was nothing else to do :) haha! I ended up decking Jase as he was rushing out for the ball.
We went to Sofia's with the Phoon's and the Hoe's to celebrate our birthday(s?) last night. I had a really fun time there.. Charmaine walked into the restaurant carrying a boucy pink ball with a smiley face on it! lol! It was a "birthday ball" for my sis. She gave me a yellow rubber ducky and George the Penguin (Her husband)! loL! Have a look. Thanks Char! Shauna and Dan gave me a black and white Smiggle file set and some Schoko-Bons!!! haha! Yummy! Thanks Shauna and Dan! =) You guys should learnt to get along!
I received soooo many birthday smses yesterday. lol! Thanks to everyone who took the time and the effort to do so, i really appreciate it :) Thank God for you guys! Have a look at the awesome card my friends gave me today! Thanks for organising the card Banh! I really appreciate it =)
lol! I was amazed at the amouny of signatures on it! The dinner at Sofia's was fabulous! But we ordered WAY too much food. haha! Venetia, Valerie, Charmaine and Jerusha were making up "inside" jokes and they kept laughing at all the little things that i did, but i didn't know what they were laughing about! -.-" haha! Girls are hard to understand. I took quite a few pictures yesterday, but DANIEL just HAD TO DELETE most of them JUST because he didn't look good in them -.-"""""""" So these are just a few from my crappy phone camera. I'll get some off Daniel's camera later on.
Look at Valerie pose... she's SUCH a poser!!!
See this picture? She was telling me that she wasn't a poser.. but a grin immediately appeared on her face the moment i pointed the camera at her.
My dad was talking about what it was to be 16 years old.. and he jokely made the remark that we've gotta be responsible for our own laundry, food and room. And that last point struck me hard. My room is actually VERY messy.. and it's been killing me! I absolutely hate mess and untidiness, but i've been too busy to do anything about my messy room. So i committed to packing my room up today, and i fulfilled my plan in deeds as i spent one and a half hours sorting out my shelves and my closet. I ended up taking out more than 10 sets of clothes outta my closet and chucking away 4 FULL bags of paper and study material. I feel much better now.. there's more space to move about in my room now :)
Well, here are a few pictures from the VSSSA State Athletics competition a few days ago. There's our winning team: i'm on the left, Tim's beside me, then Matthias and then Chamith on the extreme right. Look at how huge our compeititors are! Bare in mind that we're standing on the highest platform. lol! The organisation that took these photos, WinkiPop Media, is a TOTAL rip-off! They're charging $15 PER PHOTO! loL! I'll probably buy one though =)

God is Good
Have you ever felt so close to God that nothing can ever get in your way?
I felt sooo close to God today as i did my QT this morning. I committed my State Aths race, my VCE Chinese Oral exam and my Birthday to Him and i felt as if a whole load just lifted off my back.
I made it to Olympic Park at 5pm and i had a chat with the guys there. There were about 8 of us.. sigh, i was so nervous that i forgot to take any pictures!!! haha! Anyway, we were rather late for our 100 x 4 race. I was the last one to marshall and i was shocked at how BIG my opponents were. Some of them were two heads taller than i! -.-" I felt like David trying to take on an army of Goliaths. I shut my eyes and prayed as Adrenaline surged through my veins.
Then the umpire called us to our respective lanes. I was in lane 5, which is an average lane... not the best.. but not the worst either. Well, the atmosphere was soo intense and i couldn't hear anything but the strong beating of my heart.
"On your marks.."
"Get set"
"Bang!"
I burst out of my blocks like a bullet and i had passed the baton on to Tim before i even had the time to comprehend what was going on. haha! I don't really know how well i did, but Tim gave us a pretty good lead in the 2nd run, then Chumith added gained more distance before Matthias finished it off at a BLISTERING pace! haha! He even ripped off the spikes on his shoes because he ran so quickly!
44.6 seconds.
Just 0.3 seconds off the record =(
It doesn't matter.. that was good enough to win us 1st place with about 15 metres to spare =)
I was intrigued at this:
we ran in the Under 16's 100 x 4 and we clocked a 44.6 seconds...
the Under 17's 100 x 4 clocked a 45.4 seconds..
the Opens (Over 18) 100 x4 clocked a 45.2 seconds.
haha! So theoretically, we could have ran in the either the U17's or in the Opens and won them both. Well , this is my first State level victory and i was so elated so that rushed up to Matthias at the finishing line and gave him a HUGE hug. loL! I just wanna give all glory to God!
I said a prayer with Matthias before the race, that God would sustain his injured hamstring for the race and to let us win. Well, that was what happened despite all the odds. See? Size doesn't matter when God's on your side! =)
It's my birthday tomorrow.. and i'm getting pretty excited. I can't wait to get my VCE Chinese Oral exam done and over with. Hmm... i don't know if anyone did anything for my birthday. But i know God sure did =)
Thank you Father for such elation and joy that you've given me.. for all that you've brought me through and for what you've made me to be. You answered when i asked and helped me find what was lost..
