Results was out a few days ago. I think I did fine and I'm grateful for the grace and mercy that He has had shown me the last sem. I hope everyone's happy with their results and will work harder the coming semester.
The post- Christmas, pre- New Year period is a joyous though a little too short one. Had been meeting up with friends, praying for stuff and planning for many things. That's why I wish that I had cherished my time. In a few days' time, we'll be saying goodbye to 2007 and hello to 2008. 2007 had been a busy year where I've learnt many things. I foresee that 2008 will be a busy yet exciting year ahead for many of my friends and I will be turning 21. And yes, the headache of thinking of what to get them for birthdays will be back. Oh no.
Speaking of the 21st birthday, we've had celebrated Mins' in advanced a few days back... cos she'll be in Aust on her 21st and we can't possibly fly there though I very much wanted to. And guess what, we baked her a cake... it was fun baking the cake; from checking whether the cake's fully baked, deciding and coming up with a design for the cake, decorating the cake, to seeing the surprised look on her face when she saw the cake and eventually, to eating the cake that we had baked. And the conclusion that I came to was- there's actually no need to plan and come up with a design... cos, in the end, chances are that the design that one has drawn on paper will be different from the end product. Talking is easier that doing.


We used this to ensure that the cake will be edible...

The process...

Checking whether the cake's ready... apparently not...

We used Marzipan to decorate the cake... this has got a strong almond flavour...

"Kneading' the Marzipan...

The Marzipan comes only in one colour... and we have to dye it brown ourselves...

Trying to make a circular base to cover the top...Trying to cover the sides with Marzipan... you can roughly guess by now that the cake's going to be covered with Maripzan... The end product... Not too bad huh!?Let's take a closer look at the sides... Not too bad for a non-professional baker right...

Fancy a cake for birthday present anyone?! Ha...

That day was good bonding session. We hadn't been talking and spending time like that for a long time. And I'm glad for their friendship. It's really nice to spend time with the friends whom you've grown up and mature with. Really look forward to the next time when we'll meet again.

And just the other day, as I was packing my room, I came across many things that brought back many fond memories...

I used to buy stuff like these... so cute right? So cute that I can't bear to use them... but not anymore...

Proyo II used to be a must have toy... my brothers and I each have one... mine's purple and I think my brothers' orange in colour... and oh, the Mathematical instrument set and OP wallet... there's supposed to be another Billabong wallet... can you see it?! Childhood and teenage fun!And my some of my projects... there's Geography, CME, Science and Bio... and of course there's more... haha... I still keep them...

And I also have lots of notes and guidebooks... I didn't know I had have so many guidebooks... especially for 'A' Levels Physics... Physics' my worst subject... I guessed I buy guidebooks and TYS to help ease my insecurity for the subject and of course to study! Those were the days...

Christmas is the season of love, grace and sharing. May this Christmas see more people coming to know the great love that God has for all of us. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have a blessed Christmas.

Just had the first Harvest Rally Organising Comm Meeting last week. I'm so glad that God has brought so many God-loving people together to serve Him, and I'm grateful for this privilege to serve Him.
Met up with gy, joce and all at our usual meeting place for a movie. It's been a long-time since I've caught a movie... and Hero was great. I didn't expect a Jap movie where I have to read the subtittle to appeal to me. Or perhaps it's because I hadn't set any expectations for that movie.
Decemeber is no doubt a busy month for many- Church camps, Christmas plays, carolling and many other activities, parties, gatherings, overseas trips, sending Christmas greetings... It is also the month where friends studying overseas return for holidays... so to sum it up, it is a great month. I remember the Christmases many years ago, where my mum will bring my brothers and I to Orchard for Christmas shopping. There, she'll leave us at a kids corner with many other children before doing her shopping, and return for us hours later. A bag of popcorn from the escalator corner of Tangs was enough to keep the three of us sacificed. I miss going to shopping with my mum... but it seems like these days, we can never shop for the whole day cos we'll be rather tired half-way through and we'll then decide to call it a day. Oh well.
Christmas is wonderful, not least because of the festive food, decorations, tree, friends and fun, but it is a reminder that above all, We are all loved. By a Father who gave His Son in exchange for us, and the Son who loved us enough to follow through.

Yesterday's Sisterhood was great. It was wonderful being able to meet fellow sisters- in- Christ, being able to pray with them, to pray for them, to get to know one another and to bond together. It was also comforting to learn from testimonies shared of how God has had seen many of them through the semester that had just past. No doubt, God is ever so loving and faithful to us. And of course, Sisterhood, without the brothers, was fun and noisy. Simple games and activities got us talking and all... We played games, prepared lunch (and in the process discovered some of our hidden talents), chatted, prayed, and became closer. It felt refreshing praying for and with like-minded people with the same love for God, and I enjoyed catching up with my old dg mates, as well as the seniors and the yr 1s sisters...

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10: 24, 25.
This is why we should meet up more often; to encourage one another.

" See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." Hebrews 3: 12, 13.

Yet another reason to meet.

And of course, let us Love, for the Day is Near.

" Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law." Romans 13: 8.

Real Christian Real World- Metamorphorsis Camp this year is going to be held at Faith Methodist Church from 26th Dec to 28th Dec 2007... There's many interesting workshops to choose from, and the deadline for registration is 10th Dec. Everyone (Christians and Non-Christians) is welcomed...

Harvest Rally next year is scheduled to be Jan next year... and I've agreed to be part of the organising committee... will be praying quite a bit for it...

The following cartoons are what I've received from a friend via email... read it... it's interesting.

Yippee! Exams are over... shall keep my fingers cross for the results...
This exam season, i've think I've grown closer to my Creator. I've learnt to pray, trust in Him, and be joyful under all circumstances. I think it's partly due to the people He place me with... the company of my fellow brothers and sisters- in Christ, and of course the prayers. Prayers work wonders.
As for holiday plans, I haven't planned one yet, not that I'm about to plan one... but, I'll most probably organised my tuition notes, and schedule for the new year, meet up with friends, go out with my mum, get ready for Christmas, and oh, yes, Friday... the Sisterhood with the Crusade girls... kind of looking forward to it.
Happy Holidays.
