being older does not provide the right to stay out later or to go home less. I see no reason why younger people will have to go home early, while the older ones stay out and party till the wee hours.
male and female alike, i dun approve of staying out late

i would like to know, what's community ? it seems to me that catering to a person's need is based on what i think the person's need is and not what the person truly needs.
i'll get straight to the point, i dun like it when someone say "who would like it?", "who would find that interesting?"
it just irks me, i find it hard to bear cause though the activity may seem boring to me, it may not seem so for another person.
i personally enjoy cooking, enjoy taking care of people. And i find that through volunteer work, i can form a connection with others, however, there are also people who put me down saying "if the person is new here, you think they will be willing to just follow along or take part actively ?"
when asked for suggestions for outings, people always look towards the common areas such as beach, zoo, bird park, sentosa etc... but the ideas that come to my mind is places like museums, hill tops, garden ...
i get that i am different, but i dun get it when others can so selfishly stick to their own ideas and not be willing to accept difference.
it irks me, i've said it before, but up till now, no changes, it still irks me

Happy Birthday !!

Happy Birthday to the following people:

Asher
My brother ! haha, really felt very sorry that on that night that i was suppose to go home early to celebrate his birthday, i reached home only at around 10pm, apparently he was already very very tired but yet he still stayed awake, waiting for me to come home and celebrate his birthday with him ! Its amazing how God have carried me through my relationship with him, with periods of "over protective", "anger" and eventually love. I look forward to seeing your growth physically mentally and also spiritually. Really looking forward to your future !

Siew Yu
Siew Yu ! haha, exact same birthday as my brother, but 11 years earlier, haha. Anyway, it was great having you as a sister in christ, thanks for your genuine sharing, being transparent in your life, it was really encouraging !

Siew Sia
Siew Sia ! I wanna thank you for your openness, for the various times where you have accepted compliments and also given them out. Cause i realized somewhere in my walk that not every is open to receiving positivity and blessings. It is good to know that you are not just giving, but you are also accepting as well. more than just blessing others, you also provided the chance for others to bless by receiving

Christine Chew
Just felt that God has so much more in store for you ! it has been great laughing and joking with you, during chats, meet up and such. though you probably might felt that it was nothing much, but yet that simple act of laughing together with another person is really able to bring them joy. Let go of all that you have and let God take the lead in all you do!

Jaslyn
Jaslyn ! stay really close to me and that i constantly ask her for help with regards to information that i need to know about GB. Your faithfulness and perseverance is commendable, from you leading your small group, providing encouragements and edifying the people around you, it all makes a difference. So many things can get swept under the rug and go unnoticed, but yet you still served with all you can.

80th Post ! I may or may not be getting my guitar next month, will need to depend on whether i can save up sufficient cash, hopefully i can though :D wanna get Maestro SD3 and a ukelele !

i have successfully learnt "you hold me now" on guitar ! happy :D

It is tough to reply a genuine ok to someone who ask me not to worry

Titus 1:15

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their mind and consciences are corrupt.

The above verse has made quite an impact on me. I have to admit that my past weeks have not been great, it has been rather rocky I would say.

The above verse just reminded me of my past week, the bad things that have happened, the bad decisions I have made and the things i have felt unhappy about. Everything just ran through my head as I read the verse.

Titus 1:15 tells me not to be wishy washy about the important decisions I make daily. Very often I find myself contemplating between choices, worrying about whether I have made the right choice even though that should not be the case. Every once in a while I think that a massive decision will come by, but it should not occur too often. It sets the line for me, am I going to trust God or not ? I realize that if I am well rooted in God, I do not have to worry, there will be things that I get anxious about but at the same time, I can trust in God to help me tide over them. However, if there exist in me, an area of doubt, an area of disbelief, then even if God wanted to help me, it would be futile since I harbored disbelief.

I got to say that it is not easy having that much trust, it is difficult to rely solely on the Father alone and live a "my life is in God's hands" life. However, it is not impossible, being a worry wart for years now, I want to work my way towards having that trust in God, that regardless of the surroundings, that regardless of what might happen next, I want to be able to say that God is in control.
