yes, i'm selfish.

rach: so do you wanna do the paper thing on sat?
or i can do it.
j: don't do it rachel. i can do it. SO SELFISH.
rach: hahaha. yeah yeah. i open a stall already. selling fish very cheap.
j: okay I buy from you. got salmon anot. i like salmon.
rach: hahaha i like it too! ok got. you want how many?
j: how much first ah
rach: haha. $10.one scale!
j: wah so cheap
ok i take all your salmon. got pomfret or not?

haha. thanks j for making me laugh.

and $10, for one scale on the fish isn't cheap! idk if j misinterpreted me, but this taught me one thing.
no matter how "expensive" or impt or heavy the matter is to you, God will think it's "cheap", light in comparison and he wants to help us.

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30

yeah, i do things myself so i know how it'll turn out in the end. and i know that i will do it up to my expectations.
little did i know, by letting them take over, doing their stuff, their work is amazing. better than i ever imagined, higher than my expectations. everything is done well. *impressed*. and thankful. (:

6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. - 1 peter 5:6-8



//

we all face struggles, we're stressed and tired
but give thanks with a grateful heart. though it may be tough at times.

I really thank God for people like Sarah who shares my experiences. for weiwen, who blogs and encourages me through that way.
i got this from weiwen's blog.

Thanksgiving - Do the right thing
For the Christian, every day should be Thanksgiving Day. We should even be thankful in the midst of problems. The Apostle Paul said, "I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation" (2 Corinthians 7:4). He knew that God was working all things together for his good, even though he was going through trials (Romans 8:28).

Problems will come your way. God will see to it personally that you grow as a Christian. He will allow the storms, to send your roots deep into the soil of His Word. We pray more in the midst of problems, but it's been well said that you will see more from your knees, than you will on your tip toes.

A man once watched a butterfly struggling to get out of its cocoon. In an effort to help it, he took a razor blade, and carefully slit the edge of the cocoon. The butterfly escaped form its problem ... and immediately died.

It is God's way to have the butterfly struggle. It is the struggle that causes its tiny heart to beat fast, and send the life's blood into its wings.

Trials have their purpose. They make us struggle—they bring us to our knees. They are the cocoon in which we often find ourselves. It is there that the life's blood of faith in God helps us spread our wings.


Faith and thanksgiving are close friends. If you have faith in God, you will be thankful because you know His loving hand is upon you, even though you are in a lion's den. That will give you a deep sense of joy, and joy is the barometer of the depth of faith you have in God. Let me give you an example.

Imagine if I said I would give you one million dollars if you ripped out the last page of today's newspaper, and mailed it to me. Of course, you don't believe that I would do that. But imagine if you did. Imagine if you had knowledge of more than 1,000 people who had sent in the page, and every one received their million dollars—no strings attached. More than that. You had actually called me, and I had assured you personally that I would keep my word. If you believed me, wouldn't you have joy? If you didn't believe me—no joy.

The amount of joy you have would be a barometer as to how much you believed my promise.

We have so much to be thankful for. God has given us "exceeding great and precious promises" that are "more to be desired than gold." Do yourself a big favor—believe those promises, thank God continually for them, and "let your joy be full."



//
So i should be thankful!
10 things i'm thankful for today:
1. I thank God that i'm still alive!
2. I thank God for bringing me through my two tests today and i commit my results, good or bad into His hands.
3. I thank God for my family, my dad who is willing to watch videos like taylor swift snl with me, for my mom who cooks and jokes with us, for my sis for irritating me and making me laugh a lot recently.
4. I thank God for the carolling comm, for helping me so much, for encouraging me, asking me not to worry, praying for me and so much more.
5. I thank God for my other friends besides ympact. I thank God for people like Sarah and Weiwen who are strong in their faith and who encourage me.
6. I thank God for people in mentors in ympact. i thank God for Sampng, Nic, Marcus for helping me and teaching me stuff.
7. I thank God for nice people who care, randomface, ds, sg members. And LGEE whom i'm gonna meet on sat! can't wait yo. and and also the carolling team, the carollers (;
8. I thank God for my classmates that never fail to make me laugh
9. I thank God that tmr's friday, i can go out with my sis, rest and maybe do msp stuff.
10. I thank God for being soverign. For making my mood better, for carrying my burden for me, for the situation i'm in now, for everything.

the list still goes on, much to be thankful for.

retreatism. i learnt that in sociology.

but i can't stop thinking about it all. i CAN'T.
it's on my mind the first thing when i wake up in the morning and the last thing that's in my mind at night.
Carolling, MSP, imagine cup, my studies, tests, quizzes, assignments and projs, friends, family, God.
now, weekends are treasured.. it's the only time where i can eat with my whole family.

the more i think, the more tired my eyes are, due to all the waterworks.
nothing's going into my head right now and i have 2 tests later. how man. shoots.
i have the future bug. and the mind-reader bug. you'll know what i'm talking about if you paid attention during last week's sermon.

/edited.


i believe that God did put me in these situations for a reason. Idk what's the big picture right now, but i will know at the end of this i guess. But then again, what if i didn't seek God when i joined all these? what if it's not God's plan for me and all these obstacles are a sign that hey rach, you shouldn't be here.
i'm confused and my head is hurting more than ever. how do you tell the difference srsly?


but right now, i'll still cling on to God with the strength i have left.
i still have that little spark of hope in me.

Thanks Mei, Leon, LZ, Ds, Nic, Jill, randomface, Sampng, marcus, clarice, felicia, for everything.
And thanks Carolling comm for working with me still.
I wouldn't have any other people than you guys, srsly.

i really miss the Tamtams alot. jiayou for As people.
i miss APPLE a lot too.

//
Every minutes like an hour
Every hours like a day
Every day lasts forever
But what else am I gonna do
I'd wait forever and a day for you
I wait up, wait up
I can't eat, I can't sleep
What else could it be missing you so deep
Long as I'm where you're going to
I'd wait forever and a day for you
I wait up, wait up for you


//
love each other. this week's masterlife.
my goodness. i'm struggling. it's so difficult sometimes cos some people just irritate me. like A LOT.
God please fill me with your love so i can love others. please please.
and take away from me all mean thoughts, thoughts that are not from You.

" A new commandment i give you: love one another. As i have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, all men will know you are my disciples, if you love one another. " - john 13: 34 -35.

FANGIRLS FOR LIFE. :D

i HAVE to dedicate a special post to LORELLE~ :D :D (cos the card was too small for me to write this down)

Dear Lorelle,
i have had so much fun fangirling with you. watching dbsk concerts at your house, watching dbsk concerts at my house,
watching korean dramas till late at night,
watching suju, watching ft island, watching shinee.
staying over at each other's houses.
baking at your place,
making our first potato salad at your place, making potato salad at my place, (the recipe which we stole from RYAN!)
teaching you how to cycle, then going cycling, going gyming, playing badminton, (healthy,mannnn)
giggling over cute guys/eyecandies, upset over cute guys/eyecandies,
going to church for lgee every friday night together after school, now, going for carolling as well every wednesday night,
laughing over nothing, talking with your eyes, buying bubble tea (our routine), taking peekchas,
laughing over korean movies, crying over korean movies,
learning the dance step to CLAP, failing half-way while doing CLAP,
singing songs while watching the dbsk concert, screaming over how sexy the DBSK are,
cooking pancakes for breakfast, making cookies for lgee,
complaining about DBSK Lawsuit,
complaining about school and how tired we are
laughing with each other, encouraging each other.

When we were K2, we got baptised together,
then in p5, i changed to morning session for sunday school and from P5 to sec 4, we hardly talked.
i spent a LOT of time with you this year.
I'm GLAD! :D :D :D
it seems like we nearly made up for loss time. (:

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY GIRL! :D :D
may all your wishes come true, and God bless!
Junsu loves you!
I love you more!
tamtams love you more more!
God loves you most! (: (: (:

I surrender. it all to You Lord.


so this is what it feels like. school work, quizes, assignments, presentations, msp and caroling.
i'm not gonna lie.
I feel stressed that i'm rushing for deadlines, and to still have so many meetings.
every single day is packed. if it's not msp, it's carolling.
but i'm not complaining.

Planning for events in MSP is really exciting! i can't help but to feel excited too! WINDOWS 7 ehhh! 
to see the older MSPs plan, and to help them, and to learn and take on the responsibilty, it really molds a person into someone more responsible and mature. And talking to others is rather fun too! haha. scary, but fun. (:

Carolling, is beyond cool. totally FUNtastic fantastic fantastic fantastic (RING DING DONG~)
i really like interacting with the youths and like it's rather destressing having practices with them! THEY ROCK. (:
I can't wait for this event to take place! :D

I'm still considering joining Imagine Cup with Maryanne, Eileen and Shervonne.
This is another thing that willl last till next april which is gonna take up a lot of my time. A LOT.
On one hand, it requires so much committment. 
on the other, it'll help me greatly in the future and the experience of joining Imagine cup is a really good one, i can tell.
if i do take part in this competition, i really want to do well! 

there's so many things on my plate, sometimes, i really feel like i can't do it any longer.
i just feel like giving it all up, running away and just taking a break. GO TO THE BEACH. i should live there srsly.
i don't wanna become a zombie eh.

Then God sends people. People to encourage me, people to make me laugh and people who listen to me, pray for me. :D
And through His word, He speaks too.
In less than a month, twice, the same verse came up.
The first time, was when the Tamtams were doing our last study of Making decisions! 
The second time was today, in ODJ.

13 Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." - Exodus 13:13-14

I believe God will deliever me, and make me a stronger person out of all these. (: i really need to rely on Him and not on my own strength. But God has been good. He let me last till wed! halfway through the week and now it's Thurs, fri, sat left! :D :D 



// A level people, JY! :D a few papers down already! a few more to go! (:
// YOW, stay happy! (: i love you lots! wish i could go england and make mini snowman with you!

Guidance, like all God's acts of blessing under the covenant of grace, is a sovereign act. Not merley does God will to guide us in the sense of showing us his way, that we may walk in it. He wills also to guide us in the more fundamental sense of ensuring that, whatever happens, whatever mistakes we may make, we shall come home safely. We will slip and stray, but the everlasting arms are beneath us. We shall be caught, rescued, restored. This is God's promise, this is how good he is. The right context for discussing guidance is one of confidence in the God who will not let us ruin our souls. Our concern, therefore, should be more for His glory than our security - for that is already taken care of. With this assurance, we then step out in confidence to discover God's will for us.  - Decisions by J.I. Packer.

i really thank God for sorting things out (;

yayy! i can't wait for tmr NIGHT. hahaha. :D :D
And SAT ! :D and SUN! i wish weekends could last longer!

 5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
 6 As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.
- 2 Tim 4:5-8
