animals' purpose on earth

God made every animal for a purpose, every creature unique in the song that it sings.

if i were a penguin, i would sing a love song for You.
if i were an owl, i would pray secretly just to You in the night.
if i were a giraffe, i would stretch my neck to reach for You.
if i were a horse, i would run the race for You.
if i were a squirrel, i would collect all the nuts for You.
if i were a woodpecker, i would heal all Your trees.
if i were an eagle, i would soar with You in the skies.
if i were an elephant, i would stomp in triumph for You.
if i were a fish, i would bubble a heart to You.
if i were a kangaroo, i would hop right into You.
if i were a bunny, i would make easter my favourite day.
if i were a bee, i would give you all my honey.
if i were a lion, i would save my loudest roar for You.
if i were a koala bear, i would not want to let go of You.
Praise You God of earth and sky and sea. Praise You amazing God.

my "L" clinque

yay tomorrow is labour day!! haha its kinda yimin's birthday =) awww... why? long history which i would be more than willing to share. my nj clique super cute, cause the five of us have cool L names..! =) eunice, lengshan, vivien, yimin, zhi ying.
eunice-Later. she is always late for school (last week twice, tsk tsk) and her reaction is always the slowest haha.
vivien-Lamer. she's always the lame one and "lame" would be like her kou tou chan haha.
yimin-Labourer. eating our meals with seats, must really seriously owe it to our labourer who never fails to rush to canteen and help us chop seats. sometimes when i am less lazy i will rush down with her if not i would feel guilty. so labourer, have fun on labour's day haha.
zhiying-Loser. i would always feel very bad calling such a sweet and fragile girl loser cause her name happens to be just the exact opposite. so origin of her name is.. the direct translation of her name is only win (zhi ying). so being jealous, she cannot always win, must lose so she owns the title loser haha.
lengshan-L_ _ _. haha not saying. clue: the most honest name haha. last year because of this, i would have to pay 10 cents can you imagine!! arghh!!
i really would enjoy our breaks together. one of the few nice things about nj =)

lengshan; honest ><

when i see you

its really strange..when there's something occupying your heart, nothing seems to be able to get in, not matter how much you want to have the best of both worlds. it can just never happen. in the past when i see you i would simply joke with you happily and my reaction is always fast, you know it. but now, my point of view of you might have changed unknowingly. i would tend to look for you almost every moment whenever i am out of the classroom. just when i finally found what i am looking for, my reaction became super slow and i was just stunned and expressionless. i tried running back to where i used to be, but all ways i have failed to return to that feeling. time and conscious effort can help and will help so press on, like a levels which i am so looking forward. cause i just wished it could end like tmr, then everything will be just so nice. out of school i am free from you, and probably that help solve everything. yay. God will always be where i am running to. =)

lengshan; running back

live happy

though this is really old but somehow it just makes so much sense no matter whether you are sad or happy..for it just reminds us that we should

Dance as though no one is watching
Sing as though no one is listening
Love as though you've never been hurt
Live as though heaven is on earth

as much as we can.. when you find that all the unhappy stuff have come your way, push them away and live happily hehe... =) thank God for you ya..!

lengshan; happy

He's all i need

this isn't the first time that i felt this way. though you might think its tough for you, probably you might consider think in my point of view..probably i should reflect on my actions in the past.. knowing that i've once hurt you..but what do you do when you are the victim or what have you done? take revenge? somehow i feel that you did it unknowingly and yet so innocently..now that i'm in your position that you were once in, i understand the pain, sadness and neglect. unfortunately, history has repeated itself. thinking back..how did we solve it? i suppose its time. the rest i couldn't remember and i dont wish to remember too..cause if not we'll quarrel and the whole thing will start over again.. i pray that i will not commit the same mistake again to you as well as to other people around me. i will drop everything, pull through it with a smile, hopefully a genuine one.. i am sure you wouldn't realise that such a minor thing would have affected me so much.. while you are still in your confused state and your "i just dont wanna care" world, i just hope that we will both turn back time, to the time we used to be so happy and naive..somehow..

pulling me back to reality God has helped me understand that He's all i need and i need not care about whats going on. for my God's in control.. i am sure He'll bless us with great wisdom and pure love. thank God..

this easter =)

today was super exciting!! there's easter service and of course by making that change, and talking to you.. its awesome! love it! there are three awesome worship songs which had made elsa and i jumped like crazy! when i was jumping, i suddenly felt so different from other times of worship.. as if those jumps can be so real.. oh and next was josh's drama skit which was really good, i especially love the last one when kirby acted as Jesus. Jesus took all our pain and sins and hang there on the cross for us.. it was really touching.. and elliot was really good, didn't know he could act so well! :) claps claps to all drama people including those behind the scenes. >< aaron brought a new friend today and she's really nice to chat with.. though she was from other school but we seemed like we have alot of things to say haha. i kinda forgot her name oops.. but pray that she will come church next sunday! =) aaron is really sweet cause he bought for all of us that super duper nice chocolate sweet which is really costly, about 5.65? thats the reason why i love the saltshakers! =) is always on my nick.. ;) pray that those who came for the easter service in both g1 and g2 can be saved..

knowing that she has been saved, this easter is definitely very special not only for her, but for me as well! love you snow! =)

everyone would thank God for mums, dads, grandpas, grandmas.. but this time, i thank God for aunts.. whereby they would take care of you in place of your parents and sometimes you are just so glad that they would have to play so many roles in the family.. they cook, wash, wake us up, and most imptly, they can tidy. wah now my house is super duper neat and i really owe it all to her, she slog the entire day, super.. thank God for aunts! =)

lengshan; glee ><

this Amazing Love

ya and i went for friday morning service with elo at g1 on a really good friday.. partly cause its holiday but also two thousand years ago God did the most amazing thing which is still being remembered up to this day. worship was really good, sermon as well.. as it talks about what are the six main things which man long for. people need significance, love (acceptance). they also have the problem with sin and they long to find out the purpose, truth and meaning of life. it all just points to God, our creator, our saviour..
next we went for lunch and it has been so so so long that the three of us had lunch together.. but it was really very very short.. one day we three should just go out and have fun elo! =)
then ya and i went to grace's house. we started off with a bio lesson, taught and explained by ms lum and ya and i were just listening attentively, and earnestly asking questions, and were awed by the science and illnesses that surrounds the world.. i feel like we are like primary school kids..haha ms lum definitely gave us an exciting lesson about biology! haha then we went to watch passion of the Christ which actually was the main purpose of us going there.. it was really a good day to watch that movie since its good friday, hence commemerating what Jesus had done for us two thousand years ago..

i must seriously say that that movie is awesome.. since i am a very visual person so by showing a video or movie to me, i would remembered it and somehow learn from it.. it starts off showing the night before Jesus was crucified and how the scheming devil came to discourage Jesus from doing the Father's will.. after Jesus was being arrested, the blind and ignorant pharisees literally wanted Jesus dead no matter the cost.. it was obviously an innocent man but due to their authority and power, they can just simply do whatever they want. after the questioning, the people just surround Jesus and keep hitting Him to the ground and yet He didn't retaliate.. Jesus was then in a state of serious injuries and bleeding and He was being sent to prison that night without any cleaning of wounds or whatsoever.. next morning, it was when the first torture came.. He was brought before the governor and because this governor pilate who isn't very popular with the congregation so he acceded to their request and so he ordered his men to give Jesus serious punishment but cannot kill Him. according to the jews culture, they believe that 40 strokes would kill a man, so they gave Jesus 39.. but the sickening guards kinda enjoyed it so they just keep whacking Jesus as if He was a doll or sth..while they were caning Him with those thick thick canes, they just keep mocking Him.. =( caning Him just didn't satisfy them, then they used this super huge bat-like thing which has spikes on it to try it on Him..they hit Him so many times... and Jesus's blood just keep gushing out.. when they showed Jesus's hands were grasping and shaking, the whole torturous scene is really unbearable to watch.. then the worst part is that the devil was watching the whole process, carrying a little baby devil and that little sly devil was smiling at Jesus.. Jesus was then being dragged before pilate and pilate then had to decide whats going to happen next.. Jesus was covered in this red robe, and His body was totally filled with blood.. overall Jesus was in pain yet He still stood up..after he was given the verdict that He will be crucified, the guards gave Him the crown of thorns which hurt Him like crazy.. soon after..Jesus had to carry the cross which He still embrace it, crying out to the Father that He is merely a servant fulfilling the Father's will..Jesus went into the streets, carrying the cross, and the people just keep throwing stones at Him, so opposite from how they welcomed Him with palm leaves in the past..after He reached the Gethasame with much much much effort, this is the part which has given me the most impression, the nailing part..moments after He nailed on the cross, they pierced His left hand first.. He cried out.. since Jesus didn't have long arms, so in order to make sure the nail went through the hole on the cross for His right hand, the guards pulled Jesus and hold Him there, tearing his left hand almost apart..blood just keep flowing and He screamed out loud.. my heart was almost torn while i was watching, imagine mary and john who were there.. after they nailed His legs, the scene of what they guards did after that was etched in my mind.. they flipped and turned Jesus over the other side, making Him facing the ground with cross.. gravity which at that moment is really cruel, pulled Him towards the ground and that was the worse pain ever.. His hands and legs i am sure would be numbed at that time.. blood was just dripping from every single part of His body.. though gruesome, but it was really heart-wrecking.. Jesus was then hung there, mumbling to God. "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing"

Jesus can still ignore the pain and love those ppl who has brought this upon Him, isn't Jesus worthy to be praised.. He loved us so much that He is so willing to bear all the sins of the world and died in the worst death.. shouldn't all man in this world give Him our hearts and proclaimed that He is King, the King of our hearts..

I asked Jesus "How much do you love me?" He answered, "This much." And He stretched out His arms and died. we can all accept this amazing love now so freely because of what Jesus had done for each of us..

lengshan; amazed

do not love the world

you shoot it back at me, saying its stupid and that i have changed. i heard but i have not listened. i read but not yet understood. i have thought but not thinking. i have eaten but not digesting. i have talked but not conveying the message. i have sang but not from my heart. i looked but not remembering. i worn but with wrong purpose. i went out but with a different heart and mentality. i've now realised but changing back is really tough. getting back on track, to the railway i once walked with Jesus. =)

lengshan; love Jesus not the world

thats not how you live

God sees the heart but somehow your outlook reflects your heart.. trying to live every second of your life with God's purpose, always having God in mind.

lengshan; be mindful
