Yesterday's Bible study session was good (: Although I was really tired, but His grace was sufficient :D I learnt a lot, I'm starting to really like Bible study sessions. Although I'll have to give next week a miss, I hope I can go more regularly! :D

Pastor Jason asked 3 questions that left me wondering.

Do you know who you are?
Do you know why you are here, on this earth?
Do you know where you are heading to?

I'm glad to say that I know all the answers. But sadly, not many people know them. ): Do you?

I know who I am, I am a redeemed & beloved child of God (:
I'm here to glorify my Father in heaven & to worship Him with all that I am. (:
I'm heading towards heaven, because Jesus has died on the Cross & has paid for all my sins - past, present & future. & because of that, I can be washed clean & stand righteous before my God, & have a reconciled relationship with God. I'm going to heaven! Are you? (:

God has indeed been good to me. :D It's so wonderful to be able to wake up everyday & look out to all of His beautiful creations, whether rain or shine, His love calls out through everything & His presence is so sure, so certain.

This week, I'm praying as it is written in Eph 4:29.
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

I pray that I will speak words of love, that it'll bring forth a fountain of blessings, just like the sweet spring water. (:

Finances hasn't been easy on me, with the constant outings & gatherings, & having to pay for numerous presents. But somehow, by His grace, I've managed to get by everyday. I'm amazed that I haven't had to borrow money. But this week, perhaps even this month, I want to watch my finances more tightly, such that I won't spend on unnecessary things. I want to spend my money wisely (: It's a blessing, to even be able to spend with such freedom. This is especially so when I compare myself with the people of third-world countries. I want to be able to give more to those who really need it. (:

301st POST! HAHAHA.

I supposed, after such a long hiatus, I should come back to blogging. It's been quite a ride, the past 2 weeks :D But I must say, God has indeed been good & faithful throughout, even though I am not.

FOC was a great success! Thank you all to every single one of you who made this camp such a wonderful experience; be it the Excos, Station Masters, Group Leaders or even the Campers! Till today, I still can't believe it that we practically had close to 250 sign ups & campers. God has indeed been good :D Throughout the camp, to my greatest greatest greatest surprise, I didn't puke or lose my appetite to eat AT ALL! :D Really must thank God! HAHA. I was so ready to feel nauseous 24/7, but uh-uh, the feeling didn't come. Not once at all (: & other than the fatigue from the lack of rest & sleep, I was totally fine. No headaches, nothing :D It was also amazing to see how God has held back the rain on the whole of first day & during the amazing race on day 2! (: These were the parts whereby campers had to travel from station to play games & complete tasks. & although the dark clouds were looming ominously overhead from time to time, not once did a single drop of rain fall from the sky. It was only by late afternoon on day 2 that it began raining. By then, the only activity affected was Campfire Night! But God provides, & shows me that His will is best. Although many of us were disappointed that we couldn't have a real campfire, we had one in the atrium. & oh my, was the atmosphere just pure awesome! It was really good, wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than expected. Everyone was just getting high & enjoying themselves, & all the dance performances were real good. :D I have no idea how Weiting & I got through the camp, with so little hours of sleep ( the last day being only 1.5hours D: ) but He has been so so so good. It was definitely by His grace & strength that I could go through each day facing so many people with smiles & laughters. Thank You God <3

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M OFFICIALLY A YEAR THREE ALREADY!!!

Time flies mann, it really does. I'm soooooooooooo not used to being a Year 3! But this week has been a real blessed week for me (: It's been peaceful, relatively stress-free & really nice. Although it seems as though many assignments are due soon ( in week 4, 55%! D: ), but I thank God for His peace which has been guarding my heart & mind in Christ Jesus (: It was really good, just seeing, chatting & catching up with all my classmates once again. I'm really thankful for this class, how most of us have grown closer with one another :DDD & I'm really glad that I've allowed God to take away my selfishness & let His love reign as I make choices that I know will be pleasing to Him :D

DANCE4FUN WAS GREAT (: The HMS performance I mean! HAHAHA. A great job well done to all the dancers & especially the supporters who came for the actual thing & for the numerous rehearsals! :D I could see the HMS spirit burning brightly! :D & of course, a very special thank you to Firdaus & his partner, Nat, for cherographing & leading the dance! :D HMS FTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! <3

Today was really GREAT HAHAHA!!! Daphne lee, Yiting & I were supposed to go to amk to lunch & sing K. In the end, being real lazy to travel, we headed to the clementi's branch instead. We had lunch, I had fishball noodles :D After which, we somehow managed to while away 1.5 hours wandering & exploring clementi area. HAHAHA. & then we met Jieling at another coffeeshop & waited for her to have lunch. While waiting, the 3 of us ordered a bowl of fishball soup <3<3<3! IT'S ONE OF THE BEST FISHBALLS EVER!!! The 3 of us couldn't get enough of it from the first bowl, & we bought a 2nd bowl, a bigger one! HAHAHA. & the uncle gave us extra to thank us for our support. SUPER NICE LAH! :D Sang K for a few hours after that! Yvonne joined us too :D HAHA. The theme of today's singing session was "HAPPY LOVE SONGS" HAHAHA. 'Cause love was in the air for somebody mah. HAHAHA. Dinner after K! HAHAHA. We went back to the same coffeeshop & had the shiokest dinner ever. Sambal stingray <3 & ( Daphne & Yiting had sotongs too D: ) another bowl of fishball soup!!! :DDD <333! HAHAHA. SERIOUSLY SHIOK. & the sambal stingray was super nice too! HAHAHA. It was a super good dinner! :D THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME SUCH A RELAXING, FUN & AWESOME DAY! :D

Off to do highquest! I must be more regular in doing it! <3

2 Corinthians 4 - Cast Down but Unconquered

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.

Matthew 5 - Love Your Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

& I will respond in love. But which way is the loving way You would want me to go? To say or not to say? How much to say? How & what do I do? Such unclear steps before me. (: I know that You'll be holding my hand as I walk, step by step. & You'll reveal the right steps one at a time, & You'll show me clearly Your will. & for now, my heart will not be anxious, & I will be at peace. <3 Thank You!

Perfect Peace.

When life’s burdens get so heavy
and it seems I’m all alone,
I cast my care on Jesus
and come boldly to His throne.
I find His grace sufficient
when His promises I heed.
For His very life He sacrificed,
and He lives to intercede.

He is the Lord of Lords, and when He speaks
winds and waves obey.
When Jesus whispers
“Peace, be still,”
then darkness turns to day
And as I’m trusting in my Savior’s Word doubts and fears all cease.
And beneath the shelter of His wings
I’m at rest in perfect peace

I will seek for souls in darkness,
Calv’ry’s love with them to share.
Empowered by His Spirit
I will follow anywhere;
For I know whate’er befall me
my Lord is in control.
And as my mind is stayed on Him
perfect peace He gives my soul.

He is the Lord of Lords, and when He speaks
winds and waves obey.
When Jesus whispers
“Peace, be still,”
then darkness turns to day
And as I’m trusting in my Savior’s Word doubts and fears all cease.
And beneath the shelter of His wings
I’m at rest in perfect peace

What a comforting, reassuring song. One that brings my focus back to my purpose. (:

Tomorrow.

It's tomorrow. Tomorrow 11.30am. Blk 56 lift lobby.

It starts. & we will all make it a success. We will give it our all, I know we will. Everything will be okay, it will! Today, I'm getting back ALL my confidence, ALL my certainty, & I'm running things the way I best know how to. I ain't letting anyone knock me down again. I'm standing, throughout everything. :D

I've dreamt of camps for the entire week. How scary D: HAHAHA. But at least, they haven't been nightmares so far :D Which is good! & Mrs Tian is easily starting to become my favourite lecturer! :D She's really very very very nice! She just came over to my place purposely to pass me some keys, & bought me breakfast at the same time!!! How much nicer can a lecturer get? :DDD THANK YOU MRS TIAN!!! I'm gonna make sure she wins the next nomination for best lecturer :D OH MANN. I REALLY WISH SHE'S TEACHING MY CLASS NEXT SEM ): BUT I KNOW SHE ISN'T. AT LEAST CURRENTLY SHE ISN'T GOING TO TEACH ME ))):

Last night's meet up with the Crescent family was great (: I'm really glad to have met them, especially Wani & Peiyi. Haven't seen them for ages! I'm so amazed by the crazy bond all of us share, how we all just fit in with one another so easily, despite growing & changing so much (: How I laughed so easily with them, it felt like I haven't laughed freely for a couple of days. They just brought that joy out of me once again. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE. PUII. OF ALL OF US. SHE'S THE FIRST ONE!!! HAHAHA. & I thought she was my fellow amoeba. ): HAHAHA. But still, it was nice hearing her talk & talking to her, all the way home together on 188.

TAKEN FROM CHARMAINE'S BLOG:

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.

I BET THIS APPLIES TO GUYS TOO. AS IN, THE OTHER WAY ROUND HAHAHA. ANYWAY. STUPID TUMBLR. WHY CAN'T I TAG IF I'M NOT A TUMBLR USER?!?! GRRR. HMPH. & I HAVE TO KEEP LEAVING MANNY OFFLINE MESSAGES AS MY TAGS. >:{ SOON I'LL HAVE TO DO THAT TO ALL TUMBLR USERS ALREADY. HOW IRRITATING & CONFUSING.

I STILL LOVE BLOGGER. EASY, SIMPLE, FUSS FREE. & I CAN PUT A TAGBOARD ON IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S DEAD 90% OF THE TIME. HAHAHA. & I CAN LINK ALL TUMBLR & NON-TUMBLR USERS! HOW USEFUL. HAHAHA. AH WELLS.

DEAR HMSS EXCO,
PLEASE TAKE EXTRA GOOD CARE OF YOURSELVES OKAY! ONE MORE WEEK TO FOC, LAST LAP TO GO!!! (: I'M PROUD OF ALL THE GROWING UP YOU GUYS DID WITHIN PRE-CAMP & I HOPE TO SEE MORE GROWTH (THAT GOES FOR ME AS WELL)! & SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE CARE! FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN SICK, PLEASE RECOVER IN ONE WEEK'S TIME! HAHAHA. ALL GO SEE DOCTOR & GET THE STRONGEST MEDICINES AVAILABLE!!! :D
LOVE, CASSIE.

Even I've fallen ill ): To the hands of flu, fever, sore throat, splitting headaches & muscle aches. ): BUT MY DOCTOR WINS. HAHAHA. HE GAVE ME TAMIFLU TABLETS!!! The ones for H1N1! HAHAHA. & (NOTE THIS EVERYONE): HE SAYS IT IS OKAY & PERFECTLY NORMAL TO NOT FEEL LIKE EATING/SLEEPING, ESPECIALLY UNDER STRESS. & HE SAYS TO JUST LISTEN TO THE BODY & PUKE IF I NEED TO. & DON'T FORCE MYSELF TO EAT, JUST MUNCH EVERY NOW & THEN IF POSSIBLE.

SO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME IF I REALLY FEEL LIKE I CAN'T EAT/SLEEP & JUST PUKE OKAY!!! MY DOCTOR SAYS IT'S OKAY! (:

Suddenly, I miss my friends a lot. Like really, my friends. Much as I would (or, would have) like to meet up & catch up with all the people who made me feel loved, I've never had the ability to arrange enough time for all of them. & for that, I'm sorry. ):

A friend said, "You always choose to make yourself so busy."

& I don't like that comment. I like being busy. I don't think I'm too busy, I just have my peak periods. Although my peak periods seem like they're all year round, they're not. Sometimes I really can't help it but be busy. There are committments which I have to & am willing to fulfil.

Not that I don't want to make time for all of you. To the best of my ability, I try to. But sometimes, I really don't control my own schedule.

I can't say "No" & just go. That is not me. Not what I would do. I cannot stand having nothing to do. Perhaps, my life is routined around activities. I can be still & have nothing to do, if I want to. Maybe I can choose to free myself up from all activities if I want to. But currently? I can't. & of course, I won't.

I just wish that you might all understand. Under all the tiredness, I've thoroughly enjoyed being busy, with the right group of people. Under all the busyness, I've thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this holiday that I've spent, not a slightest bit of regret. I've enjoyed meeting up with all the people that I've met up with (:

Thank you to those who made time for me too, to those of you who tried to accomodate to my schedule. Thank you. (:

There are some people that you can only be acquaintances with, some whom you can only work with, some whom you can be friends with, some whom you can share certain things with, some whom you can share a bit deeper, & some whom you can share almost everything to.

But there may always be a part of you that may be kept secret, known to no one.
