AIyah!!! I haven't updated anything for such a long time! sorry for the people who were looking forward for my new updates on this site. so here are the highlights of what has been happening lately;
- I wasn't able to update anything or check my emails and etc. because my brother has been using the internet ever since he came back from last week.
- Last Monday was Susan's birthday and now she is 19! hehe... a few people went to Susan's house... we watched Pirates and the Caribbean then afterwards the birthday girl, Tom L and Debs decided to have a pillow fight near the lift area... the pillow fight was pretty violent... so I didn't want to be included in the pillow fight.
- Last Saturday at SNA was great! exchanging gifts... acoustic worship... everything! Going to the Winter Carnival was the big surprise. Having a SNA bupper cars was great fun!
- Spiritually... umm... I don't know how I am in that way but most likely I'm in one of those days that I am pretty empty... I know it's not good to be in that position but that's how I am at the moment.

well... nothing much to say... I know this isn't one of my best entries but my last one I accidentally closed the window that had my best one... anyways everyone! HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Peace out

Yesterday was so nerve raking... at the winter concert at my school... singing my solo parts and stand on stage as a nervous idiot person, staring at the people surrounding the stage... my parents...Susan... other people I realised who use to go to SIS and friends from SIS... Everyone kept on telling me that I would do fine and I knew they had faith in me but i guess I didn't have much faith in myself plus I didn't listen to the people around me... anyways... after the winter concert a few people said nice things about my singing but I wasn't convinced that I was good... and 2 or 3 people asked if I sing in a church!!! how awkward was that?? God helped me through most of the time on stage... and when i was singing solo I was alright towards the audience but listening to myself sing I sounded terrible...

oh! YYAAAAAAAAAAAY! My brother is coming back today!!!!! I can't wait to see him! I don't know if anyone remembers the SIS band called "Shallow Falls" but he was the drummer in that band... and Shallow Falls are not together anymore... I know one his friends is in Whence He Came band and the other is in another band but not sure... Nothing amazing happened this week... except my brother and other friends coming back to Hong Kong... anyways... God Bless you everyone!

oh... one thing... Susan I want to say thank you that you came to the winter concert to see Debs and me... love you!

Tonight was really fun at SNA and awesome! because Jason (from USA uni) came back to Hong Kong! hahaha I was surprised as soon as I turned around after worship and saw Jason... *lol* anyways... tonight was also my first time being in the Drama Team... which I felt really embarrassed after showing the drama of "Joy" but... It wasn't exactly a drama piece of "Joy"... at least we did something... there is a George Bush... Legolas... Aragorn... two president assistants and I think that's it... since we had a short amount of people... hahahaha funny to have some random characters... well, I have nothing much to say but... God gave me joy tonight while worship started up again... jumping around while singing out loud with the words of the songs... and I want to thank God for me not screw up the drama... I know I didn't say much... but it's my first time... oh yeah! whenever I hear the word joy I keep singing "Joy to the world..." and you know the rest of the song... I know it's weird... I know I'm weird and I know my mind is weird... lol. well... that's all!
Love you everyone!
Cheerio! lol* Ciao!

Today I feel like posting my favourite worship songs;

Better Than Life
Better than the riches of this world
Better than the sound of my friend's voices
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart
And that's just the start

Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is

You hold me now in your arms
And never let me go

You oh lord make the sun shine
And the moon light in the night sky
You give me breath and all your love
I give my heart to you because

I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you
I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you

Free
verse 1
would you believe me if I said...
that we are the ones who can make the change
in the world today...
would you believe me if I said...
that all of your dreams in your heart
can come true... today...
would you believe me if I said...
that life could be all that you want it to be... today...

chorus
and if I had wings i would fly
'cause all that I need, you are
and if the world caved in around me
to You I'd still hold on
cause You're all that I believe
and the one that created me
JESUS.. because of you.. I'm free

verse 2
would you believe me if I said...
that God can make miracles happen today
would you believe me if I said...
that you don't need to wait for the answers before..
you step out in faith..
would you believe me if I said
that nothing is ever IMPOSSIBLE.. for God..

Bridge
just live your life.. with God inside
you wont regret one moment of it
and give all that you can for God... for God

and bible verses that I found too...

Philippians 4:6-7
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(I don't know why I chose those 2 verses... I thought it sounded kind of cool).

Psalm 121:5-7
5 The LORD watches over you-
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
(these verses show that I will never be alone... the Lord will be watching over me at all times...)

Greetings my fellow friends! =) *hehe* I have re-created my new layout... with nice colours! It took me ages to make my new layout much more colourful (well... not really colourful). anyways... the party was great last night! I have enjoyed myself talking to some guests who came to SNA. The games were fun... BBQ and the food was good... Drama Team were fantastic! and the dance was great! That made my night put a smile on my face... actually I think God made everyone's night a great night.
I really want to say to the Drama Team that it was an excellent drama of "Redeemer". I was pretty amazed when Tom Lewis played God... and I wonder where they got the music from?...

I want to thank God... that he helped us made the party a success... (I hope that was making sense...ahhh! sorry i keep saying that)

I have nothing much else to say at the moment but I must continue doing my school work which is really stressful for me. I'll write more tomorrow...

Peace out!

wow... I had no idea that I would be blog of the month on the SNA website... today as soon as I heard that I was "blog of the month" I thought they were kidding... but I guess NOT! - I am still in shock... speechless and I guess I feel good in a weird way... *lol* and... the picture looks weird!! *heh heh*

Today was a little different... I felt that God wasn't really with me the whole day at school and I panicked so much inside I thought that I was going die but... I reminded myself that God is with me so I stopped panicking. Lately I have been busy... and also life has turned complicated. People have been telling me different ways of trying to make use of time with my school work and studying... my mind is out of control and I can't think... I want some Peace in my life for once... Year11 is starting to be really tough now. I pray that God will always help me through this frustrating misery I'm going through at school... anyways...

Just to say... God is very big towards us... He loves everyone of us as his children... even though we are in a difficult position he will always be with us in our hearts and soul to guide us with everything... anywhere...

um... I don't know if I am making any sense here but... um... well... that's me for today... Ciao!

*~PEACE~*

What is Peace...? Everyone has different definitions of that word... Some say that "peace" is like stopping from war. or peace is like happiness or other words that describe and/or meaning of peace. Peace is part of the 'Fruit of the Spirit.'

Change
We as humans change all the time and during our life time down here on earth we understand right and wrong. There are consequences that we have to deal with. (I think)

2 Corinthians 3 or 4?

At SNA there were two questions were being asked... the two questions were;
1) What things that make you feel safe(peaceful)?
2) What things that make you feel the opposite of peace(not peaceful)?

My answer for both of those questions are 1) I could list a lot of things that make me feel safe (peaceful) and SNA is one. Being with friends and family and also being in a quiet place. 2) I think that school is totally the opposite of peace... stress... exams... driving lessons... I could name a list of this too!

There was another question which I think it's interesting and important to know. How do we get peace? I guess we have to look at the situation carefully and sort it out.

ahhhhhhh.... well... I have more to say for this entry but then the thing is that I think it's enough... well... plus... i'm not sure... if it's right...

C'ya!
