JC ar JC ar JC ar oi oi oi oi !!!!!

hey everyone I failed again.

yeah my 4th rejection, the biggest blow ever.

So when the un-list me from touch rug, i cried all the way home. Hardcore for 2 hours, non stop.

So I joined Hockey, part-time cheer leading.

JC orientation is really fun!(ended today)

kept dancing like mad.

My class is really awesome &fun; even though there are only 4 boys and like 16 girls.

It's a literature class (cool right, artsy fartsy)

We have tons of cool kids!!!!!!

but, see most of them come to th school with friends.

Even if they didn't, they found cliques.

Arg, hate cliques. Everyone but me, has cliques.

Tired like hell.

I really want to sleep.

my exams are coming (theory piano).

I wish I had someone to confide in.

Someone going through JC with me.

One year older would be fine too.

Just, stupid 1992s in church ALL ARE IN NORMAL ACADEMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Seriously, you count for me. Cherie/Filbert..... you know whozszz)

shoot your butttttocks.

difficult, damn tough.

pray that i will find my own life in PJC.

PJC I am starting to luv you.

But God Please Give me friendzzz, good friends/best friends.

Dipping into foreign waters alone, when others have their own kind,

is scary, extremely frightening (for me).

Anyway if you haven't heard (How could you not have heard.)

There's this boy in my school that looks like POH LIANG JIE!!!

hahahah his name is Neil.

He was sooo cute today!

We had a Principle's dialogue session and my friend and I raised the Qn on why Touch accepted only less than 20 girls.

Then after, Neil came up to give a suggestion.

"This is just a suggestion but if the girls want to play Rugby so much, why don't you ask the boys to train the girls?"

All of us were like "awwwwwwwww".

Omgosh, cute right.

Our school's Contact Rugby is merit sports

so they are relatively good.

And omgosh, PJC has alot of look-a-likes and stuff,

but i have no one to "gossip" with. :(

I learnt something.

May not apply to any of you, but i realized that moral support during

1. "Solitary" O Levels (like when your mom doesn't allow you to go to church cuss of exams)

2. Advancement of Levels/Seasons of Life (Sec to JC/Poly)

3. Treading New Waters

is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very important.

And it helps - alot.

probably because I am the emotional type.

So (get a hint), when you all are doing Os I will text you all and support you all ok!

Babies don't worry, you don't need to be like me pathetically texting others to say they miss/love me. which like less than 6 replied out of 16?

Just when something happens in someone else's life, text them, leave comments, support and all. I don't know about yours, but I'm sure all of you know about mine.

what happened to Hebrews!!! We need support from each other!

hate some of you la. make me so sad. never even ask me about my exams then.

Never even like wish me good luck!

zzz. k i wonder if anyone reads this/understands this/bothers about this.

other than talking about mindless beanies and sweets.........

God, it's getting boring..

I believe everyone (and especially youths) come to this phase of their walk with God when they feel that, "It's so boring.. Church is boring (YF in this regard), the CG is boring, being a Christian is boring." I know, because I've been through it many times before in my teenage days. That's not to say that now I'm all holy and righteous and do not face down times in my walk with God. But over the years I've learnt that this feeling of "boredom" and "lack of passion" is not a result of the activities (or inactivity) of the church or ministry or the people. It's not even because of the common complain that "God is far away from me." So what is it about?

Simple.

You.

Yes, you! It's about our personal walk with God, and our daily time spent with him. As you all know (something that I don't think I have to nag about), doing QT is important. Some take it as a "religious function", doing it because if they don't they'll feel guilty. However, if we were to live in a life of guilt, then as we forget to do QT each day, the guilt will grow and consume us eventually. We'll feel that we're too "guilty" to be "worthy" of being a child of God, and thus we fall away. Where is the freedom that Jesus promised us then? Therefore, that is not the correct motivation to do QT. Instead, our motivation should be because we WANT to hear from God through His Word, and we WANT to talk to God (prayer) about our daily lives - the good and bad stuff and the thanksgivings and complains - and wait to hear from Him as we reflect through what we read (meditate).

Recently, or rather in the month of January, I went through IHAD (It's not a magical "ooooh" thing or something that people go through just because they have sinned gravely, so dispel that myth. It's part of the discipleship process as well.) and Chin Teck shared a verse with me.

"So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want." -Gal 5:16-17

THERE'S THE ANSWER!

The sinful nature, which is our human nature, our flesh, goes against the Holy Spirit in us. It wants the opposite of what the Holy Spirit in us wants to do. The sinful nature does not want to read the Bible, it does not want to speak to God lest wait on Him, it does not want to consecrate ourselves and it does not want to even think of what it means to be a disciple of Christ. THEREFORE, LIVE BY THE SPIRIT! I took this and ran with it. And daily as I consciously remind myself of it, I started to "force" myself to do what the Spirit in me wants to do. Like the apostle Paul, I "beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." (1 Cor 9:27) Ever since then, I realised there's a change in my time spent in prayer. Not just the time, but the quality of prayer. As I begin to read the Word, I wanted more of it (until I nearly missed my lecture because I was hiding at the stairs reading and got so absorbed into it, praying and reflecting as I read along). As I began to fast weekly (something I NEVER thought I could do), I sensed the hunger in me begin to grow. The hunger for the things of God, the intimacy with Jesus, and for you my beloved ones. And here's my confessions as I end this post:

1) I may not call you and chat on the phone regularly, but I would want to start if you guys don't mind talking on the phone and sharing with me your lives.

2) I might not initiate to talk to you on MSN much, but when I do it means I have something to share. In fact, you can always initiate to talk to me.

3) I might not see you during the week, but I'll want to meet you during the week for dinner and spend time together (not as an entire CG but groups).

4) I think of you daily and pray earnestly for you.

5) I think of you daily and pray earnestly for myself to grow so that I can be a good shepherd.

6) I love you so much that I cry when I pray for you (more so for some, and I think you know who you are).

7) I long to see breakthroughs in your walk with God and your life (whatever issues you might be facing in school/family/with friends, etc) and I believe that you can if you want it. (It holds true that if you want something badly you will do something about it.)

There, 7 confessions. Perfect. It's been a long post, but if you've read till here from the top, I believe something was planted in your heart. Go, grow, glow. =)

JC Life Sharing

Actually wanted to share this during testimonial time but last YF there wasn't so i was quite disappointed hahahahahah.

Before you guys ask me anything, I'm in PJC now.

P for Pioneer Junior College/Science Stream(opting to Arts sadly)

Scored 11/14.

Anyway just want to share with you all my JC life now.

It has been a real roller coaster ride on the mind and body 

It's ultra hectic and we end school at wee hours of the day.

Meaning 4.30pm. Now its rather irregular though because of orientation.

Then the worst thing is that PJC is at Choa Chu Kang!!!!!!!

That is like, 30000 miles away from home.

&becuz i've never been there before in my untir3 life, i got lost like a couple of times.

so yah, super L053r right. (heheehehehhehe)

First day of school as usual was really lonely.

Furthermore I only had 1 friend. &the rest of the school seemed to have clicks.

So I was quite sad. Through the day i wanted to cry, yes cry!!!!

I know I sound like a Kindergarten child, but crying on first day has became a vicious cycle.

Cry on every first days. ahahha i'm serious.

When things started to turn for the better, PJC has hot guys &girls man,

Made a few friends, cool loners like me hahahahah.

God played a vicious trick on me!

I was only given 2 subject combination choices.

H2 Chem Econs History/Geog and H1 Math.

Which was terrible becuz i didn't know any geog nor history!!!!!

Couldn't do H2Math because I didn't have Amath background.

I needed H2 Math. For my University Course (kind of).

So typically, Appeal!

My sub combi results day last friday 6th Feb, &I got rejected 3 times that day.

Firstly, I got rejected by the schools i appealed to namely SAJC and CJC. So thats 2 rejects.

Then PJC had to reject my Appeal!!!!!

Omgosh, i was like so mad. Because the teacher initially gave me hope, which is FALSE! hope.

Spoke the teacher, he literally snubbed me.

Speaking obnoxiously of my mathematical disability to take A level Math.

Angry and Sad, i decided to opt for Arts Stream(90% should be able to get in).

H2 China Studies(super weird right but hahahahah), Economics and Literature & H1 Math.

(i think all of you don't understand what i'm talking about right, its ok just read my suffering &sympathize me)

At JC its like best if you have a CCA to join and spice up your JC life.

So i decided on TOUCH RUGBY!!!!!!!!!!!

it's like my dream CCA.

i know you're laughing. Stop laughing ok. (you're prolly thinking "hahahah sandy & sports?!")

I really joined. I'm like prolly the worse runner but I'm cool ok. i can pass the ball properly.

But due to overwhelming response, we had 60 over applicants joining Touch Rugby,

They have to shortlist! All i hope for now is that they won't kick me out

We had trials, another one to kick us out again maybe on wed.

I'm not very confident. hahaha

Pray for me ok. Pray i will get into the Team &that each day i will still have time for God.

JC life is super tiring, I knocked out every single night hahahahahah.

aiya muscles still aching....

Oh Heyyyy!

Miss ya'll and love ya'll

Don't forget God anytime soon.
Prayer prayer prayer is powerful so don't forget to pray!
