Resolutions for 2008 December 30, 2007
Posted by dot in Daily life, God.3 comments
It’s the time of the year where everyone blogs about how they feel about the current year or the following year.
I personally don’t know where 2007 went to. Can’t really remember much, except bits and pieces of it. There was school, then there was POS and special term, then there was more school. Got to know a lot more people in church. There were less prayer meetings this year than the previous one.
I never make New Year resolutions, because I’m lazy to think of them and I always figured I wouldn’t stick to them anyway. But this year, I’ve thought of some. And I’ll write them down since I’ll strive to achieve them anyway.
1. Get my relationship with God right. Have a revelation about His love. Have a personal encounter so real I won’t ever forget. Because I can’t help others if I don’t even get my basics right.
2. Study a lot harder. Get a CAP of above 4 again.
3. Fulfill my Building Fund pledge.
4. Change my attitude towards God and others.
5. Be more willing. This is hard because I’m very unwilling to do things which I’m uncomfortable to do. But I must crucify myself daily to follow Him hahaha.. and we should always go from glory to glory so… yes this must change.
6. Make less excuses. This is also very hard because I make a lot of excuses when I don’t want to do things.
7. Get a dream from God. A vision and a direction. Hahaha. After all, I don’t think I want to work in a pharmacy behind the counter all my life.
8. Lose 5kg. Whooo. Ok la, I’ll be happy if I lost 3kg. Hahaha. Actually, I’m quite happy the way I am, just that it’s hard to buy nice clothes if I’ve a tire around my waist. 
9. Read the bible consistently and pray consistently too. Ok la this goes under number 1.
10. Make more close friends in church.
Today’s thanksgiving cell was great. Xin hong led praise and worship. The presence of God was there. I’m always not sure when God speaks to me, because ya, I think I need more faith. But during praise and worship, I think God said at least three more people from pharm will be saved through the thing we’ve started. Hey why not believe for it to happen? Hahaha…
So yes, I do believe that 2008 will be the best year yet for me. 
Hahaha.
Serving for the 1st day of christmas/Poor poor car December 23, 2007

It’s the first day of christmas for me. Because it’s the day I attended my first christmas service of the year. Today I woke up after sleeping for only 2-3 hours. Woke up with the alarm clock in my hand. The alarm clock was on my floor, so it meant that I had reached for the clock while I was still sleeping and stopped it. Normally in cases like these, I wouldn’t wake up after stopping the alarm. But hey, I prayed the night before and asked God to wake me up on time, so I woke up. Praise the Lord.
Woke up at 6.45am. For the past 2 days, I got out of bed at around 3pm, so that explains why I couldn’t sleep early the night before. It’s also a miracle that I didn’t make mistakes while serving. Actually, the entire service today was almost mistakeless… which is a good thing.
I packed bee hoon and orange juice for breakfast to expo. Ate bee hoon for breakfast. And then, during the service after the carols, I went out of the chorus board box, and the IC told me to take a packet of bee hoon cos they couldn’t finish. Okie. So I simply stuffed myself with bee hoon the entire morning. Oh plus I had milk tea. Then I stood at the back to watch the drama. Hahaha. Interesting.
Well after service, Rachel, Audrey, Meiling and I went to NTUC to buy food for steamboat on tues. I drove. Man… I tell you right, I think that I bumped the car more in one day today than my whole one and a half years with a driving license Which is really bad.
First, I mounted 2 curbs (at the back and in front on two different occasions), ran a red light (by a bit only la), scratched both sides of the front of the car on Meiling’s gate, made ridiculous turns which blocked other people’s cars, and to end it off, when I turned into the carpark in my condo and was looking for a lot, I grased the back of the car on a pillar, which made a loud bang sound (but I checked and I think there’s no scratch..not as bad as the front anyway).
And I only dare to put this up because I’m quite sure my parents don’t read my blog. Otherwise right, there goes the car for me.
Lesson to note: It is not wise to drive with only 2-3 hours of sleep the night before.
Warm Jacket :) December 6, 2007

I went out with Peijing and Amanda today. We walked from Raffles City to Suntec. And I got a new jacket! And it’s warm! So I can just wear it to the library and not have to wear 3 layers of clothes. After shopping, I went to Peijing’s house to get studs, had dinner with her family at Bukit Timah market, then Amanda went home with me to help me stud my jacket. Here it is!
Cool heh…
That’s the hood. It says DOT, and the T looks like a sword.
Then there’re a few studs on the design, supposed to outline the heart.
Whooo I like the jacket more now. Hahaha… 
Yay…
And while walking around, we suddenly heard a familiar tune and traced it’s source to a shop. It was playing the Breakaway CD! Hahaha… The shop’s called Kardia and it sells tops. And the owner is, of course, from chc. Hahaha… she said she’s giving 20% discount to all chc members, so ya, go check it out Hahaha…
Hillsong – How can you refuse Him now? December 3, 2007

Hillsong – How can you refuse Him now?
There’s a story old that has often been told
Of how our Saviour died
As they nailed His hands
He cried, ‘They don’t understand’
As the blood flowed from His side
How can you refuse Him now?
How can you refuse Him now?
How can you turn away from His sight?
With tears in His eyes
On the cross where He died
How can you refuse Jesus now?
As He hung there on the tree
He prayed for you, prayed for me
There was no one His pain to ease
Before He died He faintly cried
Father forgive them please
————————————————————-
I got this song in the CD I just bought. He loves us so much..really.. how can you refuse Him now?
