Hello people!

Aha,last post of the year.And so,I shall do a reflection upon 2008.

2008 is probably the most fruitful year in my life so far,it's the year where I really start a relationship with God,and he has put me through some truly difficult trials,of which I did overcome in.As I see myself grow even,I really thank God that he took me back.If he didn't,I'd have trillions of personality disorders now.Haha.

However,I feel that there's more things in my life to pour out into,as well as rather empty cos I want more of God.Here are some resolutions I planned for 2009:

1.To stop falling asleep when praying at night because I'm thanking God for all that has happened.
2.To focus more when reading the word and truly meditate on it.
3.To die in the flesh daily.
4.To grow in greater faith.
5.To produce more fruit.
6.To really grow deeper in relationship with Christ.
7.To prioritize devotions highly.
8.To bless many many!

Upon reflecting,I seriously think that God has blessed me billions of mountain loads.Be it results,relationships,opportunities,I can't thank him enough.And next year's going to be a real blast,because he's by my side.How can life possibly be boring and non-purposeful when Christ is my Lord?

Some other things I have put down in my resolutions:

1.Make it to Singapore National Fencing team.
2.To try my best to do well in my studies.
3.A new level of creativity.

And there,it ends my year.Happy almost new year people!

God bless ya(:
Hello people!

We all had a super fun time yesterday at the Bukit Batok Net gathering.And at the same time,my birthday was celebrated(: Thanks loads guys!

So here are the pictures.






Jing Cha to Father Jason Oon.Jing Coke more of.

Our temporary Gopal for Sheena.Guess the reason why we chose a coke bottle.

YAY BB net!



The BB net has a lot of inside Jokes and trademark Jason Oon looks(:

Haha.The day was lovely lovely yesterday,something to truly praise the Lord for(:

God bless ya!
Hello world!

YAY IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.It's feels strangely normal though cos I'm so used to doing things for others on their birthdays that when mine comes I feel funny.Haha.

And thanks for all your birthday wishes!They're lovely really,I appreciate them loads(:

Tonight there's a Net potluck!Looking forward to that(:

God bless ya!
I can barely believe that its my birthday tomorrow.Boy oh Boy oh Boy.



Hello people!

I love everyone this Christmas.I feel so much love for my friends and I truly appreciate them in my life.Where would I be without some of them?God I really can't thank you enough this Christmas,for sending the greatest Gift in my whole life,Jesus Christ,and many many other lovely people into my life.

I really want to be with Jesus 24/7,although it definitely isn't easy at all.I drift,I wander away,but he is still right by me.He smiles when I smile,he rejoices that I'm made,and he loves me so much,no matter what I do.Enough to die for me.And of which,I truly thank him for.He's been faithful and amazing,and even though sometimes I wander,what my spirit really longs for is to be in his presence.

Lovely isn't it?God really loves you all(:

So yesterday at the Christmas service/outreach,our main idea was a talk show about changed lives,and we the 11 past 12 dancers did our dance.A lot of funny things happened,including my brother who had one of his suspenders snapped off,and me whom almost lost my shoe.Nonetheless,we still danced our hearts out and we really enjoyed it(:

There were several Salvations,and we really praised the Lord over it.It was an enjoyable time,and we all got many many gifts.But it was a lot more(:

Then some of us proceeded to Charis's place for a fun time of Taboo and a Movie,of which in this case was 'Hairspray'.We had a whale load of a time and fellowship,and I super enjoyed myself(:

And finally,Christmas Dinner at Gran's house(:

God bless ya!
YAY 600th post. And it's a...

MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Thanks to everyone for your lovely gifts!And I'm WAY too tired to blog about today so I shall do so tomorrow.YAY.

God bless ya all!(:

Hello people!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FRANCEL,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FRANCEL!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FRRRRANNNCEELL....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

Yes yes it's a jolly day because it's Francel's Birthday!Happy 19th my lovely girl,thanks for bringing much smile and cheer to me(:

In December many many people I'm close to celebrate their birthdays.And for one person,I need a box badly for their birthday.A simple,presentable,plain box.And I don't want to use a shoebox,its so cheapskate for someone who means a lot to you.And you know something?

A LOT of gift shops don't sell plain boxes.

The boxes I find are either too small,too kiddy,too complicated,too girly,too sweetie sweetie and such.My goodness.How can gift shops NOT have simple boxes?It's an essential xD

Today I'm going for a box hunt! Whahaha...and if all else fails I'm going to get from Daiso xD

I wish the SMSS Foilists all the best in today's team event! Don't let the older girls intimidate you kay,you're pro too!(:

God bless ya(:
Hello people!

I had a busy busy busy week.I'm so glad its coming to a close!I thank God that he was with me throughout,really.

To start off,on Wednesday and Thursday I had to go for the Leader's Camp at Sarimbun Scout Camp.Being at that place really makes you appreciate and love your home more definitely,and when Youth Camp was fly/mosquito infested,Sarimbun was fly/mosquito/frog/colorful insect infested.I found a colorful orange spotted spider in the toilet before,and on one of the Leader's bag there was a furry black spotty caterpillar.Pretty and creepy(:

And we had to pitch and tear down our own tents.It was a interesting experience,having to hammer iron pegs into the ground and stabilizing the tent with wooden poles,guidelines and such.Nonetheless,it was tiring,and sleeping in the tents on floorboards was a lot more painful than I thought.

Outdoor cooking was difficult.The fire wouldn't get properly started and the oil wouldn't sizzle,and we had to use up whatever the trainers gave us.So the food we cooked were DISGUSTING.Still,it was our lunch and we didn't really have much of any choice but alas,TO EAT! xD Explains why most of us CHIONGED for a second helping during dinner.And I missed my family lots.

I was super glad to be home,and discovered many many many many mosquito bites.At least 6 or more.


And today,there's the long awaited RJC invites competition!Pathetically,only Siti,Stacia and I went for the individual competition from our school.

Henry referee-ed this match of boy's foil,and watching them fence was more fun than I thought.Because they did a lot of crazy,fun and violent moves.

Yes,many many many fencers,all a lot older than I.

And we met many JC/Polytechnic people from ages 17-19 years old,and they were stunned by my age,and other than Siti and Stacia I'm also oone of the youngest there.So when I was introduced to the older people the average conversation went like this:

Older Girl: Hello,I'm XXX and I'm 17/18/19,how about you?
Me: Oh hello!I'm Gin Ming and I'm 14.
Older Girl: Wah So young ah!Never mind,it's good to start young *smiles*

They were all very very nice to me,like nice big older sisters.But how they fenced on the other hand,was AMAZING.They crash here crash there and I lost to all of em except one.And one jabbed me on the exact same spot twice,HARD.Now got one bruise there.Haha...And in my school I was the only one who got into the Direct Elimination round,as well as probably the youngest who got in there.My ranking was number 18 amongst 25 over other people.

In the Elimination bout I fenced the girl who got rank 15.And I lost to her by 3 points.SO CLOSE LUH!Haha....it's ok,I still have other competitions that I can go for.Now I look forward to the team event!

YAY.I thank God for so many things!And tomorrow is going to be our LOVELY FRANNY'S birthday!And after that on Monday will be the GREAT YMMIT STAR'S birthday! Gotta start preparing gifts for such special people that are gifts to my life(:

God bless ya all!(:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ADILIA WONG!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SWEET SWEET LOVELY LOVELY ADILIA WONG,You've been a GREAT BLESSING TO ME!!(:
Hello people!

YES I'M BACK FROM YOUTH CAMP.No pictures today though,I'm lazy to upload xP

Although I have a testimony still(:

So so,youth camp this year was lovely lovely.But it still loses location and food wise to last year's!The place was fly/mosquito infested and occasionally,stinks.But never mind that,now lets talk about the games and such.

I have to admit I love my group.EMPIRO!Lead by Jonathan Gnin and Charis Tan,my team really made me feel welcome and I love em all!Jonathan who had amazing leadership,Charis that was super friendly,Joel that braved through many scary games for us,Joseph that brought moments of entertainment,Abel that was a really cool guy,Siyin the supposedly Big Sister to me for the whole camp,FRANNY that went high together with me,Zoe that is so warm and bubbly,Sequina and Hannah whom were the sweet lil girls for the team,Daniel whom I can always depend on,Mathieu the strong and nice guy that protected me during the Chicken/mother hen game,Germaine that was so lovable,and Sammuel that took up a lot of embarrassing positions for our group(: Are they AWESOME OR WHAT.

I enjoyed this year's games,although short as they were.Of them all,I liked the one where we had to dress up Sammuel with pieces of cloth into a cross dressed bride,and the water bomb game where all of us protected our dearest Francel with all we could at the cost of painful water bombs.They were all really fun,especially that my team had an extremely act cute/'demoralizing' signature move.EMPIRO YOU ROCK.

I loved service.Because they always spoke to my heart,and during worship I felt God's presence so strongly and I couldn't do anything but worship.I forget all my hurts,my pains,and I rest in God.I jumped high and insanely during praise,even when my hair wasn't tied up.As nuts and as idiotic as I looked,I didn't care because it's God I'm jumping for.At worship when I worshiped God I didn't want to open my eyes because God's presence was so sweet,and I wanted to stay that way.

Pastor Sahle was POWER!He really preached with a lot of passion and all his sermons spoke to my heart.Like the one about dead things.It's so true that God uses all your dead things into something that's so lively and something that's going to mightily shake the nation.I was reassured that in my weakness God is so perfect and so strong,that when I fall he will pick me up.Even when I'm such a weakling he calls me to what I cannot imagine myself to be,something so amazing and he is glorified.

And right after this youth camp I'm attacked.Until now then I realised that I'm actually a extremely insecure person that's horribly afraid of hurting people and making them mad,and because of this I'm always afraid of people one way or another.Even if they're the most lovable person alive,unless they're my family at least a tinge of me have a fear of them.

My brother tells me the evil one's trying to steal the seed,and he asks me to stay firm.Being a Christian is spiritual warfare after all isn't it?And as far as I know I'm going to win this one.

Before the youth camp I felt useless about myself spiritually.As strong as the word may seem,yes I used the correct and a honest word,USELESS.I never dared to believe nor dream that I could do something for this generation.I didn't believe that I could touch lives.I didn't believe that I can have disciples.I didn't believe that I can really help someone grow spiritually.I obviously don't believe that I can be something of worth either.I didn't believe that I could do anything,to sum it up.Day after day although I love God,and I love all my friends,and didn't trust myself to be a good enough friend.I didn't feel worthy of God at all.As a matter in fact I feel that more people don't like me compared to people who like me.I did feel condemned I admit.That's why I look forward to every time I could come to church and once again rest in the Lord and I would forget all my fears.

AND THAT,was my coffin.I have a lot of dead things in me.WAY TOO MUCH DEAD THINGS.I feared people's thoughts and I feared people's opinions.I really agree with Pastor Sahle's words,that the greatest deliverance anyone can receive is the deliverance from the fear of people's opinions.

The last service,I cried out to God so badly because I wanted his anointing on me.I'm sick of feeling worthless,I'm sick of feeling like a nobody because I know God still sees in me something brilliant and something great.I wanted to touch this generation and I wanted to be someone who would touch lives.I spoke so loudly in tongues and cried out again and again for an anointing,and with that,God proved to me that he has anointed me through the fact that after that I seriously prayed like a maniac.I prayed like I never did,with so much passion and a fire of energy that blasted out from inside of me for this generation.When the service ended I wanted to run out and evangelize to people,although I couldn't xD Now THAT is what I call the touch of God.I don't care what people are going to think of me.What matters,is what God thinks.

Because Jesus braved through EVERYTHING the world through at him,he is worthy of my praise and I want to be like him.There is absolutely nothing that's impossible for me to do with him by my side,and even when I'm under attack,he will help me overcome.

I can take the city with him by my side.Amen.

Worthy is the Lamb
seated on the throne
Crown you now with many crowns
you reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus son of God
the Darling of heaven crucified
WORTHY IS THE LAMB

God bless ya all(:
Yes yes I'm back from youth camp!

But it's like super late now,say around 12 plus? And so I shall only talk about it tomorrow(: My abs are hurting for some strange reasons too.Heh heh.But that camp I tell you,was POWER.

Amen.

God bless ya!
Hello people!

I decided that it's finally time to polish my blade after almost 1-2 months.And while polishing it yesterday,my skin got really rather dirty.

This was after I polished the blade and got to the guard.And it started it off like that.

Now would you just look at the difference! Cool huh.

Thank goodness I was wearing shorts,if the pants were an longer I wonder what my mom would do.The blade pressed on my legs time and time again and of which such marks were resulted.

Hands also kenna. HAHA...

So yup,that proves that I cannot ever polish a blade neatly without at least making 5 autosoil marks on my skin.

Nonetheless,there's a great sense of satisfaction after you have well polished a blade and make it nice and shiny!(:

Can't wait for youth camp and the RJC invites!!YEEE....

God bless ya!
Hello people!

For some reason ever since after the 180 dance I've been really happy.Yes I know I'm happy almost all the time,but this time I'm like,REALLY REALLY HAPPY.And it's not about the 180 dance,although I really was very happy during that moment.

And it's not like about a guy either,NO.What were you thinking.HAHA...

I guess it's a random HIGH CRAZE!Feels wonderful,like a great SUNSHINY JOY given by the Lord!Maybe that's because it is(:Just several seconds ago I was clapping to myself idiotically and smiling really widely at the screen,close to laughing.Like a burst of stars,sunshine and happiness at my heart.Okay this sounds so Strawberry Shortcake/Carebears/My Little Pony and such,happy happy and full of rainbows,smiling little ducks,multiple-hair-coloured-ponies,butterflies and stuff.But hey,it really feels like that!

I want to hug someone!Maybe a few someones.Or all the someones I know!I don't know,but that's almost how happy I am,even though I dread the thought of going off to order my Sec 3 books tomorrow.YEEEE.

God,I thank you for this ultimate sense of joy,excitement and happiness I'm feeling.Even though it's not particularly about anything,I still thank and praise you,oh Lord.Amen(:

And like Michael Buble's song 'Everything'.It's supposed to be a love song to a human,but I thought the chorus could apply to God too!

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

Alright,it's already 12 and if I'm not sleeping soon I shall go work on my testimony for Christmas (:

God bless you!(:

Hello people!

I still can't get over the excitement of the 180 dance!We seriously had one whale of a time,enjoying every second while we were on stage.

I remembered even during the alter call how hard all of us behind were praying in tongues.And by God's grace so many many got saved!There was such joy in our hearts then too.

I can't wait for our next performance!(:

Aha,in about 2 weeks time I finally get to go for the RJC invites!I'm really excited for that too,Because I alas get to fence!After youth camp I'm going to go for one-on-one trainings one after another in preparation!God I really thank you that I'm in fencing.

Of which,I'm excited for youth camp too!I wonder what they're gonna do this year for games and such(:

And later on there'll be WONDERFUL WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS,and alas on the 29th,It's my Birthday!

This is why I love December.

God bless ya!
Hello people!

HAPPY HAPPY DECEMBER TO YA ALL! Now lets count down 29 days to my birthday(: Haha...

And like I said I shall upload the Dance photos.It's an AMAZING revolution for me and Samantha,because we ain't JUST wearing a skirt,we're also wearing MAKE-UP!Hohoho...


This is Silas.I couldn't help laughing at his hair for his dance,but I thought it was amazingly cute at the same time(: (note the light effect from the window near his eyes)

And here's Silas again,because someone suggested a superman pose for him.And there's light effect again on his face.HAHA.

And AGAIN because Sam suggested a CAPE!Haha...no effects for this one xD

Here's me and Shamah!

Me and francel(: I thought her make up looked angelic on her.Haha...

Me and Charissa!(:

Hello Natasha(: If there was something more interesting than Natasha and I in this picture it would be Sam getting tortured by the make up in the background.

AHHHHHHHH!!!

David!He had to wax up his hair into this old fashioned style,and I think he looks rather good in this one.

YO BEST FRIEND!I dont think Dan was very comfortable in this hair,but nonetheless,I thought it looked not bad on him(:

ADILIA!So pretty ain't she?I look so fat in this picture compared to her.Haha xD

Hello Huimin!I look fat in this compared to her again.

Hey lovely accountant Jerina!She'd have won 'the most angelic voice' contest I tell ya(:

LITTLE SAM SAM!He's the true Prince Charming of the whole dance,because if he didn't come in we'd be short of one guy and would never have completed the dance.IS HE CUTE OR WHAT!?

Well done everyone!(: 11 past 12 is the LOVE.

Haha...we had so much fun for the dance,I can't wait to do it again!(:

Uncle Boy had asked me to also be one of the youths as one of the 4 people,3 adults,one youth to testify on Christmas.I'm pretty excited for that(:

God bless ya!
