happy comes in all forms
Thursday, June 26, 2008


this week was quite happening. I just woke up from a 2 hour nap, cause i zonked out. feeling guilty. nvm, can stay up tonight to do some stuff. oh my 12.36 already. wells.
feeling quite happy this week. Firstly, cause i'm no longer in pain and can eat as i please. well, almost. tomorrow it'll be stitches out. wonder how it'll be like. is he going to just pull the whole string out?

secondly, cause jie jie came over to cook! i was already anticipating at 4.30 during pract. hehe. it was yummy yummy. looks like all the horse meet did some good. and then the way she flipped the egg was like flipping prata. lols
and there's my pretty jie looking delighted with herself :)

thirdly, excited cause of the naked-i campaign! beginning to regret all the times that i failed to join the crusaders for fellowship cause i was too lazy. even though tiredness played a role, going would be no problem with determination added in. Really had lots of fun 'freeze-ing' today. I'm not the kind to do crazy things (trust me on this:P ), but in someway, it's like dancing for the Lord. Shall paste a part of the email that Qin Ting sent which was really encouraging

How did/will you feel when/if people tell you that we are going to wear "Naked i" T-shirt and freeze for 20 seconds at the most crowded places during lunch time? "Oh, No...No please! How would people think of me, 神经病? " This is how i felt when Mylene told me about the publicity of "naked i".
"How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!" (2 Samuel 6:20)This is how Michal daghter of Saul despised King David when she saw him leaping and dancing before the Lord. This happened when David defeated the Philistines with the help of the lord, and he knew it was God who helped him! When David brought the Ark to Jerusalem, "David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the Lord with all his might, while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets." (verse 14 &15). But...Michal, did not understand it: "And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death." (verse 23)
I am not sending a message that if we dont do the publicity for the "Naked i", God will curse us, no, not at all. Rather, I want to remind each one of us that God can do His work without any one of us, but yet, He chose to use us, it is not a shame, it is a privilege. Because He is God of good, He wants to bless each one of us through "Naked i'.
Verse 21-22 says:"David said to Michal, 'It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord's people Israel-I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, i will be hold in honor."
Guys, let us always remember that even when we freeze in front of people physically, we are also freezing in front of God. Let us remeber that God does not see us like the world did. In the old days, David danced in front of God, today, let us freeze before the Lord.
and so that's how it is. the anxiety in my heart was there when i was frozen. But i'm totally glad I did it anyway :)

Fourthly, happy cause I had dg today with Melissa. Even though it's just her alone, the other's weren't willing to come at 8am, I'm glad for the time spent. I feel refreshed when we share! To think the day before i shed some tears because I felt tired at having to meet all my girls one at a time, instead of meeting them as a group. Of course I would pray for my dg to be able to come together, but if this is how it'll be, then it's fine too. Really thank the senior dg for praying for me and encouraging me too! Selina, Qin Ting and Cheryl sat there and helped me analyse the situation.

and ness sure can tell stories. :)

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
