Seriously, this is too cute to start the new year. Yesterdays watchnight service was fantastic! Even though 2006 was a difficult year for most of us, we survived, and we got the courage to tell the tale, to thank God infront of everyone else. I was reading through my QT book.. all the stuff I've told God, the prayer requests inside.. I wrote this one night after reading Psalms 174:4 - He determines the number of stars in the sky and calls them each by name. ' I wonder if any of the stars are called Sarah. God, name one after me.. it'll be cool' And some thanksgiving.. Tab: She did her QT! and how i wanted to get everyone a notebook for Christmas for them to keep track of their QT. But, I didnt. haha. lazy me.
Jaz sent me the most original and best Happy New year greeting this morning. lols. I'm supposed to grow more juicy and ripe this year! i shall attempt to bask in the sunshine more this year. Yea.
Time to start mugging AGAIN. I wanna go gavin's house to play board games, abeit losing most of the time. haha. nope nope. sarah darling please start studying.
That's me. Except that I'm not so cute. Just finished my tut. Now i'm nua-ing before doing my project and it's 2.30am. So that's me trying to conquer the world. So the vicious cycle starts again. Really need to finish the accounts by the end of this week too. I just met Meera! so delighted. We talked and talked and talked. the thing is, we havent seen each other for at least two years! Cool huh. I just knew it was her when i saw this person reading a book. I found out how come people hiccup. hee. and recalled an essay both of us did on toothpaste. seriously, you wouldnt want to know what goes into toothpaste in the good ol' days. Maybe I'll post it up sometime.
tell me, what makes a person laugh? I'm going to find out the answer. haha. Then I'll tell her.
And i've finally seen who Shu Yan is! at first, I didnt feel like going for Meta. But I'm glad I did. For honest and for true. I felt like being lazy and sleeping in instead of waking up at 6.20 in the morn, just to make it to Buona Vista by 7.45. I think i've learnt lots and lots and lots, prayed lots and lots and lots, made lots and lots and lots of friends and best of all, reset back my QT and finally found the foot of the mountain of my relationship with God. I'm was kinda apprehensive to come home yesterday, cause I didnt want things to go back to the way they were. But it hasnt, and I dont want it ever to. Pray for me. I met the peeps I'm gg for mission with too!
It's amazing how you can have so many things to share with somebody you havent seen, to pray for her and ask her to pray for you. So, I really thank God for Shu Yan=) we've never met when we started smsing till yesterday. about 8 mths le. haha. cool hor.
time to stop nua-ing. sarah sarah sarah, dont waste your life away.
This was the view from my apartment during this year's church camp. looks nice from this angle and distance. haha. The camp passed pretty fast, with all the rain, but I sure learned alot from this year's sermon.. It's probably the first time I actually remember something from a camp sermon. oOps. We (yvonne, joanne, char and kor) spent quite a far bit of time trying to assemble Yvonne's puzzle. Tis quite a challenge with the poor lighting and being left with the greens. But we did it! Yays. Other than that, I spent the rest of the time trying to recover from my holiday illness. And then, the next day I had to wake up early for communications project. That's when the stomach cramps started. aiyo... By the time we reached hougang for class gathering after that, I was delirious and tried to convince them to let me go home. Honestly, it was terrible, more terrible than the previous times. I agree with Fiona though, I do need to see a doctor. =( Thank goodness, like all other times, people are there to protect poor me. Felt kinda sorry for making them all so worried. Then Fiona and Valerie waited for me in the toilet while i slept inside. But after that, it was better I guess. Kinda happy and blissful I made it to Chu wen's house, where I just plonked myself down on the couch. Her house is so pretty and comfy. And I finally got to watch Happy Feet! hee.
Anyway, the point is, I've been sleep-deprived all the way till Christmas, and tmr, I'm going for Meta. haha. I need and want my sleep. Tired people unite.
Merry Christmas!! This morning I was just wondering why people wish each other merry christmas... hmm.
I thought the play was perfect, despite all the flaws. =) yay! it's over. I think all the actors/actresses did well. Just like what jie says, whether we do well or not, praise goes to God.
The Origin of Christmas
18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."
24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
I think, if I were to be hearing the story for the first time, I would find it rather incredulous. From the hollywood blockbuster point of view, it doesnt make that cut of a good story, save the part where angels appear. Even more so, why did God ever send his son down as a little baby, when he could have sent him equipped with a crown and signboard proclaiming him as King.
But that's where faith comes in. And love too. He lovingly planned everything to every last detail. And if you're thinking it's no hollywood blockbuster, you should have checked out the star that night. It was such a big thing that Magi trekked thousands of kilometres just to see where it led to.
I think I can read this story over and over again and still find something new everytime.
My youth group is putting up a Christmas Play and we're cordially inviting you to come. The play, A Nightmare Before Christmas is adapted from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
Everyone tells you to work hard. Make more money. What happens when this becomes your sole purpose in life? Watch us on the 24th of December at Girl’s Brigade Headquarters main hall, 9.30am in our adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Our dear old Spencer will meet his past, present and future all in one night. A nightmare? Or his best dream ever? You decide.
No compulsion but I really hope you who's reading this will decide to make your way down to watch mini production.
I dont know about the rest, but I do have this fear that "what if" you know, just "what if" things go wrong.. And it's more or less turing into a nighmare cause somehow I feel oh-so-tired with the oh-so-many things to do. But then again I always have to remind myself to trust God and let Him work his way through. So, no matter how ugly the above picture is (yea, I drew it with Paint -__-") or how many late nights I'm gonna have to keep till Christmas is over, it'll be fine. "I can do everything through him who gives me strength " Philippians 4:13
'It takes 2 people to make a lie work. The person who tells it and the one who believes it.'
Rotten tomato score: 10/10. lols.. I just want christmas to be over. But I dont want next year ever ever to come. haha. So many things happening, so many unhappy people. ewww. In the short term, I am looking forward to next wednesday and thursday. I've got no school! My dear jaz, iris, mabel... I'll leave it for you to ask me out kays. haha. I have big big plans for tuesday and wednesday. la la la. hmm. The Navity is showing at Vivo GV next wednesday. Anyone wants to go?
Sarah wants to go watch Happy feet, wu gong and eragon.. But for now, sarah ah, study hard. STop slacking. What rotteness. I need a miracle. Seriously.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
