elsa and her world ><

today was SUPPOSEDLY a saltshakers study session but in the end only four people turn up. elsa, ivan, jess and me! though only four but haha we had fun! we learned that by crashing and opening up your paper and doing it repeatedly you can actually shrank your paper! really cool! halfway through elsa and ivan went for service and left jess and I. haha we are suppose to be studying but what happens if you put two friends who haven seen each other for long? oh well, jess and I started talking, sharing about whats going on with our lives. thank God that jess is now better in terms of family, friends and studies! =) had a really long talk, like old friends haha. gosh and this session is really good cause we planned to do so many things!! like we will be going for real, RETREAT together next year! gosh i just cannot wait!!!! =) haha and we also planned our 11 july outing and somehow it would be a post-common test celebration! so awesome! =)

after jess left, nice, super, sweet elsa came to have dinner with me and we went to bukit merah market to eat. haha its really funny why church people doesn't wanna come here. its near church, convenient, dont have to walk so far and oh well, at least its a new location, different from redhill market? haha next time should have cell dinner there, got ntuc and got sale somemore! haha oh talking about sale! gosh today i bought something which is like really nice! okay its not really very nice but i dunno why even after i paid money i felt that my heart feels so good! i bought the book angels and demons!!! I have been wanting to read this book but somehow I prefer the books which i own so that I can read anytime I want. and guess what, its second hand and so its only 5.90! so cheap! though its second hand but its feels and looks new so its mine!! elsa, this girl is really engross in her world, world of books! by the way she looks and intros me those books, wah, I think thats really her world, books. she can talk and talk about books and just books, and she sound pro and confident haha, hardly seen her so excited before so cute.. =) I think reading is a really nice habit to cultivate, so after my As, I shall read and read. haha so which means I will be more like elsa! good? bad? HAHA good! ><><

lengshan; loves elsa! =)

Leng Shan Loves Shash!

oh man! today cell was so awesome!! :) we started off by having 5 worship songs which is nice. its just so nice and sweet to be in the presence of God worshipping Him. then phui started cell teaching and slowly slowly we began to talk about revelations, rapture, tribulation, trumpet call and persecution. its a really touchy topic, pretty scary but oh well, its the fact and of course as Christians we get the opportunity to know and ought to know about the future since it concers God and us. after cell, denise, hsuen chi, beatrice, tiff, elv stayed and chatted for really long. haha so long that uncle fulong actually came into the room and scared us all HAHA. we talked and shared about many stuff like the difference between Christians and Catholics and whether issit right to do the "in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit" sign. We also talked about funeral and the true meaning of bowing, like bowing doesn't mean that we are giving our lives to that person but just for respect. We too talked about down sydrome's people and their purpose on this earth, or rather God's purpose for them on this earth. for me, I feel that probably their purpose is to allow us to see how blessed we are, not mocking them definitely. oh and denise shared something which I learned. she said that Go's purpose for them on this earth might be a test for us people, whether we have the compassion, patience and sympathy to feel and care for them. wow.. thats so true. I'm glad that I've learned that, even though might be someone younger in age than me, but that obviously doesn't matter. :)

I saw tiff talking to beatrice in such loving way that I see a different side of tiff, and how she can be a caring friend. :) I've also saw change in elv, that she's bonding with the cell and obviously her SKIES are getting LAMER! haha I've also seen a maturity in denise. though I have met a match who can beat me in lameness, and that sometimes she's really high and ultra lame, but I can tell that she really hungers for God, wanting to know more that someone her age should know and the words and things that comes from her are really unique, different from what a normal person would say. somehow, I feel really attached to her. beatrice, she told saying that even though we all have different personalities but we still can click very well, which is really true. quiet and noisy, knows alot and knows little, willing to share, not so willing to share. :) of course, opposite attracts! and beatrice has this weird but awesome style of hers, its like when she hugs people, you can really feel it for she hugs hard and its like her love and emotions are being transfered to you. HAHA she's so adorable. =) for hsuen chi, she's more of the introvert kind but from the way she pays attention to what is being taught, I feel that she actually takes in more than what she expresses. gosh, I love my girls so deeply! the walk to redhill was good now... even tiff and elv can feel this tension.. oh no..I guess we will have to do it fast, like real fast. I really really really thank God for my girls.. :) oh the most interesting thing is that because we talked too much and forgot to close in prayer, we standing in one circle, in front of the church water cooler and toilets, holding hands and prayed.. so cute.. I was like smiling throughout the whole prayer.. ><

lengshan; love shash.

AH BENG JOKES ARE FAR-NEEE !

STORY 1: Ah Beng's Colours

Ah Beng went for an job interview for a sales job. When the manager saw Ah Beng's colourful attire, his mind screamed, "Not this man!!" Nevertheless he still had to entertain Ah Beng. So he told Ah Beng, "If you can form a sentence using the words I give you, then I will give you a chance!" "The words are "Green, Pink, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, Black".

Ah Beng thought for a while and said "I heard the phone go green, green, and then I went to pink up the phone and said Yellow. Blue's that? White did you say? Aiyah, wrong number. Don't purplely disturb people and don't call Black, ok?"

STORY 2: Seng, Beng and Heng.

SENG, Beng, and Heng were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite at the top of a 75-storey skyscraper.

After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to hear that the lifts in the hotel had broken down and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room.

Seng said to Beng and Heng: 'Let's break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something else.
At the 26th floor, Seng stopped telling jokes and Beng began to sing.

At the 51st floor, Beng stopped singing and Heng began to tell sad stories.

'I will tell my saddest story first,' he said.

'I left the room key in the car!'

STORY 3: Ah Beng's Numbers

Ah beng was asked to make a sentence using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
This is what he came up with

1 fine day I go 2 climb up a 3 bed-room apartment to peep. After being seen by the couple in the room, I got panic and had a great 4. The man rushed out and had a 5 with me. I run away to 6 for help. End up running into 7 eleven, I grab some 8 and throw at him and pull out a 9 to stab at him. And 10 hor ...10 hor... 10 .... he die lor..

(continuation of the story....)

.....and 10 hor .....10 hor .... I put the 9 back on the shelf and pay for 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day I 'kor' my boss to say I am 6. He say 5. Tomorrow also don need to come back 4 work. He also say go climb a 3 and jump. I don understand. I nice 2 him but I don know what he 1?

haha! i told this to my dear denise and guess what she said!

denise: LOL ! AH BENG JOKES ARE FAR-NEEE !
FAR-NEE= FUNNY. HAHAHA.
lengshan: ya i know!!!
denise: YOU DO!? THAT IS A MIRACLE.


HAHA she's so dear to me.. ><

lengshan; have a good laugh!

love being around you.

sometimes too possessive
sometimes too slack
sometimes too coward to admit
sometimes too thick-skinned
sometimes too afraid
sometimes too shy, smiling on the inside when I know I am not like that?

feelings sitting on the roller coaster, just don't know whether to get off or go on.
better get off. heartache is the consequence.

lengshan; me too ><

twin

just in case if you wondered how is it like to have a twin?
its different obviously.
its nice having each other.
when someone asked you "eh, name someone whom you think is your best friend."
both our answers would reflect each other.
how nice of course.
but something which i really really dislike.

stop comparing. :(

wait and pray for the better

I shouldn't have let You wait. I was preparing lesson, even before that I went off to settle my studies stuff.. i know studies is important but i got too distracted and how pain it felt the moment i knew i had kept You waiting..

when i asked you questions you pushed me with your frustrations over maths..deep in my heart, i know you had this habit but somehow i just cannot just pass it..seemingly so difficult, elo did it..i must learn.. when you asked me why i follow stelle and not you, i was stuck and i didn't know what to say..hmmm is it that incident which follow suits.. i dunno..

when carmen asked me whether i have talked to her after sec four, i was speechless.. my mind tells me to say yes, trying to cheat, probably even a hi would be considered, but my heart knew that i shouldn't lie, the fact is that i didn't, i didn't initiate..i wanna be true to my feelings, to myself, knowing that everything i did or i didn't do happens for a reason, be it lazy or busy, i just know that i had to be truthful especially to myself cause i cannot hide it from God.. it kept me thinking.. firstly, God allowed someone younger to bring this out of me.. secondly, while i was happy with my saltshakers, i actually had forgotten someone whom is really precious to me and i shouldn't be forgetting her..somehow i keep giving myself excuses that i am at least close to the other cm.. but if carmen is doing it and since its really important, i dont see why i hadn't done it.. its just a talk, not so difficult.. i just had to open my mouth and ask..

its really atrocious.. i seriously cannot teach and somehow that just isn't my gift.. i always dont have the right words to say and would get really nervous when i couldn't get my message across..some gave me attention while others looked away, not paying attention..i've got both responses but still it didn't motivate me.. i really want the best for them, but somehow i just cannot love and teach them this way, i am not suitable, not capable enough. it isn't that i didn't prepare, in fact i was satisfied with it but words are definitely said easier than done. somehow i am happy with it, but to say fully prepared, okay i am not. when elvina shared about her problem in school, i really do not know what to say. somehow the advice that came from me might seem godly but it just couldn't apply to what she needs.. then what is the point right..it is just different, so different.. i tried to be a good cm, at least outside cell context, but alone with my own strength i know i cannot..

guess when all things start to crash over you, even the "thing" that i have been waiting and wanting to happen has happen still didn't have much effect.. i guess i will have to just listen, pay attention, initiate, be true to myself, wait and pray.

lengshan; shall stand strong

it keeps leaving me needing You

No matter where we are or what are we doing or even how are we feeling for that day, God still deserves to be worship. Some people are just so difficult to love, probably because of what they have done or said. In this retreat, I've learnt of some criticism about me from others and it really hurt me. But we are all called to love, just like how the Lord has loved us even though we are so flawed. I've done wrong as well, especially to ya I feel. being indecisive and always frustrated sometimes I would tend to flare up at her, but our friendship still remains strong in the Lord, how nice.. :D During devotion, we shared about how to hear God's voice. No one can literally hear His voice apart from assurance from their friends and through the way they share, I can tell they hold on to God even though they might not feel or hear from God. They perservere and this really made me ponder about the little faith that they had and forced me to look back into my heart. have I have that little faith smiling at God? I have many many doubts like why does He wanna make us study? But that faith is so important to allow us to go through this tough times. Someone told me saying that in the process of preparing for As, she actually had depression and drop-out. I know I am not so bad to have touched that stage. This made me realise that its not me who is holding on to the Lord but its His love that is holding on tight to me. With my own strength I know I can never pull through but His joy, smile, presence and love gave me strength to run the race with Him. Others say that God would be at the end of the race, at the finishing line waiting for us. But in my life, He is not only at the finishing line, He is with me at the race, while I am running, walking, crawling this race. at times He would carry me to walk on this race. He is always with us during our race and we can all be sure that once we've accepted and believe that He shall from that day onwards take and watch over our lives, we are loved by Him and He'll never let us go. How sweet..so let Him lead our lives with us and let Him take the Lordship of our lives.

I was thinking what if I would not have met this God how would my life be. Looking at the different parts of my life, I think without His guidance and love, I would gave up so easily. I guess with every aspect of my life, it always leaves me needing Him.

lengshan; God is what I need

Retreat 2009 ><

RETREAT WAS SO AWESOMELY FUNNNN!!!!!
interestingly, I went with a heavy and worried heart, but came back with a heart that actually misses retreat! firstly I was worried about the fact that I had to take up a role as a games group leader, and knowing that I will have to lead people older than me, kinda scares me. secondly, I know that I might not have the time to study there and this retreat might be a waste of time. but it turns out that I misses retreat!

seeing how corn had made the best of the situation he is in as a coach ic really encourages me to do likewise. night service kinda shocked me really alot. last year's retreat I have to admit that we so didn't pay attention but this time, I seem to able to understand and grasp the content of the sermon. in fact, all the sermons were really edifying and I got to know david more!
morning devotion is really really encouraging and I love it.. seeing how the girls responded and shared even though they might be very sleepy really made us very proud of them.. :) so straight away after dg was service and every morning worship I would be extremely thankful to the Lord for giving me such wonderful girls.. praise the Lord! ") talking about worship, I think it is one of some of the aspects that I feel that I have grown in. I used to be very distracted during worship, having super short attention span, but because we have worship twice everyday and each one gets more deeper into the Lord, I actually find myself super focused on the Lord. Thank God!
night after night service is different everyday and I really enjoyed the fun every night! on the first night, ya and I went for a walk. this walk is really special cause we have no idea why there was no one at all except the two of us. we walked along the waterfall then to the swimming pool then to the pavillion(actually its jetty). during this walk we seriously encountered numerous incidents which made us kinda run for our lives! like once we see that there are ripples on the surface of the lake we would anyhow imagine that a monster would come out! haha! oh and the funniest thing for that night was that the ceiling of the pavillion was full of lizards! lizards of all sizes so gross! then our imagination start to run wild again! we thought of probably in a romantic scene, suddenly the lizard might dropped down and came between them as a third party! so lame right. haha but that night we really did laughed alot alot. second night was very fun too cause we kept making fun of "moses" and jondi is really good at imitating jamal, latika and salim! haha so funny lah!!! and whenever they mention putput, ya would laughed like crazy and when "latika" was mentioned, I would laugh like crazy! third night we went to the lobby there and played 99 with ah gong jonjon josh and ya and poor jonjon never got to win a single round but *claps claps* to his mental sums brain! awesome! last night we played 99 again but this time with more ppl and somehow there is a cycle that if joseph kill me, he will die and if aaron definitely have the ability to kill me! haha long story but very weird indeed. this last night is really crazy cause an entertainer came to play with us and he is adlar! he is a real joker man cause he would create his own magic tricks which are so lame! haha! oh oh.. thu night was really good too.. for grace had a talk with us and we really opened up and shared alot.. I feel so blessed to have grace and ya.. ><><>< Z'ORRO!
Zorro consists of meryl, eugene, bryan, victoria lim, phoebe, victoria yue, shawn, janan and though we might not have won any prizes but we enjoyed the whole time together! :) having fun, laughing, running, swimming and learning God's word! :)
I really enjoyed retreat as every single second I know that the Lord is beside me and my brothers and sisters in Christ. the adults and youths also interacted and I can really feel the unity of Grace Assembly Of God and not within Rage only.. so nice.. =)

getting to know you then having it differently really puzzles me if my feeling so correct. it all seemed so perfect, love God and sweet in that smile. but somehow too young. so young so will then have to call you my sheep. but it just seemed so right. not sure of the future but whatever it is, God will provide opportunities, and He has his own plans for us.. >< walking bare-footed and swimming in the pool, its that all? I would always want to look for you but you stayed one more night.. just so coincident.. this year's retreat gave me new insight on what the Lord can do in other people's lives. but I want my this future target to be part of me..i love yourgenes/ yourDNA! this stupid thing that I have cultivated, knowing that it shouldn't be like that!

lengshan; love Retreat 2009

out at imm! :)

what an awesome day!! it was so suddenly and so random that elo came with us to imm. I just casually asked if she wanna join us and she agreed! we talked super alot. gosh it was so long that i have been so happy and laughed so much! we took bus to queenstown and it was really so not planned. the bus came so we just board and then took mrt to jurong.
hmmm..this mrt trip is really "enriching" cause I realised that there are actually some ppl who dont really like my enthusiasm and that I was over-optimistic, as according to them, I wasn't being practical about the situation. Indeed I was right, they aren't so comfortable with me. Its alright as as long I know that it is what the Lord wants me to do then I would go for it. and nice elo, cause she REMEMBERED my blog url, unlike nicole. I dunno tell her like how many times already lah! haha forever forgetful. also, I was simply super disappointed with the saltshakers. actually its only one of them, and I was so shocked that " " actually didn't defend me and it seems like everything infront of me was an act. I was so disappointed to the max. I guess the more important they are to me, the more I expected of them. oh but came out with a sudden surprise! my HONEYPI JOANNE gave me a cute yellow eraser! gosh I LOVE HER and I will definitely send her a message before going off. she's so sweet.. and I will bring the eraser to retreat, which I hope it can motivate me to study. HONEYPI is the best! =)
we then went imm subway to eat and we just kept talking and talking. haha we came up with many nicknames for our friends and its really funny! oh well, we definitely didn't forget what pastor cx taught this afternoon too! and I am so going to make fun of "mikepy" and her this retreat I dont care haha. we also called someone psychopath, actually elo, I cannot really think of the reason why. HAHA ya I guess WE are then questionable? hehe.. we talked super long and loud at the subway that many ppl keep staring at us oops.. haha who cares anyway as long as the three of us are together! :) oh and never forget to press the drink cover before, halfway and after drinking k!
we then went bossini to buy clothes and ya really bought so many lah! she's crazy anyway and the three of us bought three similar top and I guess we three have different opinions about what love is! haha. to elo, love is YOU and ME. to ya, love is SWEET and FAITHFUL. and to me, love is SILLY and FOOLISH! haha and we just keep playing around the fitting room, having the best fun ever! :) we then went to giant to buy fbts and the two sickening are so bad! while I was choosing my stuff, they took my bag and ran away and hide! thank God my phone was in my pocket and I tried calling them but obviously if they have the intention to hide from me they wouldn't answer so I put down the phone. just as I turned around, I saw elo with my bag and then I chased after them and I saw their blur faces looking out for me, not knowing that I was actually behind them! haha I would never forget those faces! HAHA and as we were buying cup noodles, nasty nicole wants to take advantage of err...hmmm we'll come up with a nickname for him after retreat. haha next we went to the pick-up point to take the shuttle bus back and we were really blessed to have got the backseats so that the three of us can sit together. unknowingly, we started talking about crushes. we then each talked about our experiences and how we are going to handle our crushes. elo, if you keep being so fierce.. tsk tsk.. you only have ONE more year left! ya, your process is like what the electrons will do after they absorb the sun's energy! I guess mine is the most thoughtful and well-planned, haha but I guess actions are louder than words!
awww..ya and I would really miss you elo.. retreat without you it will be different.. cause you are always the one waking us up, so that we wont be later than late. you will take care of us, give in to us and awww.. we will really miss you.. AND we would NEVER forget your sort of "maturity" which is expressed during retreat last year when you came out to us, so awesomely .......! HAHA and sadly I would have to face nicole for 24 x 5 which is 120 hours.. oh man.. that would be so unbearable! haha elo you rock!!! LOVE YOU! :) pray that the Lord would watch over and protect out this friendship of three! :)

lengshan; loves elo and ya
