Haha, last Sunday, i helped out at this nursery service.. I know it was divine that i helped out on that particular day, when i felt so tired! In my human mind, I'd rather go to service and just absorb, not give!! haha.. But of Cuz, God's ways are higher..
I learned a new song on that day! haha.... It' s called "Bear Hunt"... Haha, just a kids song with many funny actions and the ending is very funny! Well, through the song, the group of children "encounter" many obstacles: Long grass, Thick Squelchy mud, deep swirling river, etc etc... and the song says "Can't get over it, Can't get under it... Got to go through it." How true. There are many obstacles that come our way, and siam as we may, sometimes we cannot get over it, we cannot get under it... God just wants us to go through it. And depend on Him along the way...
Haha, the song also says "I'm not scared.. Been there before!" Haha, Yup, we should face the future with confidence cuz we know God always leads us in victory! :)
The song has been playing in my mind all morning! So here's the lyrics! hahahaa... I might just go back volunteer again one day u know! :)
BEAR HUNT
(chorus)
We're going on a bear hunt
We're going on a bear hunt
We're going to catch a big one
We're going to catch a big one
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Been there before
Been there before
Oh no!
Oh no!
Long grass!
Long grass!
Long wavy grass
Long wavy grass
Can't go over it
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Got to go through it
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
(chorus)
Mud!
Mud!
Thick squelchy mud
Thick squelchy mud
Can't go over it
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Got to go through it
Squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch
(chorus)
A river!
A river!
A deep swirling river
A deep swirling river
Can't go over it
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Got to go through it
Splash, splash, splash, splash, splash
(chorus)
A cave!
A cave!
A dark gloomy cave
A dark gloomy cave
Can't go over it
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Got to go through it
Clock, click, clock, click, clock.
We're going on a bear hunt
We're going on a bear hunt
We're going to catch a big one
We're going to catch a big one
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Been there before
Been there before
What's that?
What's that?
Two furry ears
Two furry ears
Two sharp teeth
Two sharp teeth
It's a bear!
It's a bear!
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Quickly, through the cave, click, clock, click, clock, click
Through the river, splash, splash, splash, splash, splash
Through the mud, squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch
Through the long grass, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
Run quickly,
Close the door,
Bang!

A MiLEStoNe!
On Sunday, i went for my very first 10km run...... The Mizuno Run! hehe.
So glad i went... and completed it! hehe! The feeling of completing it and not stopping is just.... Wooooo.... hehehehe........
A few things i've learnt through the run:
1. God's ways are higher than our ways
- Actually i told myself after the 4km mark that i'd let myself rest after the 5km mark. And usually, my body will refuse to continue if i've made such a "promise". But just before 5km, the Lord said, "What if i say, continue? Will that overwrite your promise to urself?" I was unwilling at first, but i told God, ok, i'll try... and he gave me so much strength in my mind to continue, albeit at a slower pace, but i did not walk! hehe. Not just mind over body, but God over mind over body! hehe.
2. Success is a choice
- If you know that the task ahead of you is attainable, you need to know too, that success is a choice. Having a spirit of excellence is important... To do your best, not just to try your best... And even if a task is altogether possible, it is also possible to fail in it. You have to decide to win.
3. You'll get better at it.
After 7km, it was so easy to continue, and there was no thought in me to want to stop and walk. My body was so atuned to the running that i was just automatically going on and on..... It's the same in our life.... when we keep at it, we'll get it.
Above all, i thank the Lord for helping me to complete the run. I thank the Lord for wonderful friends to run with me. I thank God for His blessing of my Ohana.... :)
WE MADE IT! :)

I will sing
This song never fails to tug my heart each time i hear it when i am feeling lost.. Yes, I will sing.. :)
I Will Sing
by Don Moen
Lord You seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now
That it's hard for me to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart
Chorus:
I will sing
I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing
I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You
Because Your Word is true
I will sing
Lord it's hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans
You have for me
But I will put my trust in You
Knowing that You died to set me free
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give grace
With all that's in my heart
Chorus

Give Thanks
Many thoughts in my mind today.
Today, 3 of our former students came to our office to collect something.. I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw them. I can only thank the Lord for his protection and grace.
One of them is this boy called mdnoor. I still remember so vividly my first impression of him. It was my first visit to a step up club, during my very first week at work. I entered the class from the back, knowing that the session was going on halfway and expecting them to be at least seated and showing some respect........... nowhere near that. This boy was sitting at the table, blasting his mp3 player at top volume, grooving and tapping away to the music. And when he saw me, he looked up, gave a friendly smile and introduced himself, and continued with the music.... hahahaa..... i was shocked. Yes, i was glad at least he noticed my existence... but what was he doing blasting the music while the lesson was going on????????? hahahahaa....
i later learned that he always wanted to be a dj.... Interesting yea? But still.... this boy had many other issues. He had such a big problem getting up on time as he watched mtv till late the night before. They bought him a watch, an alarm clock... and called him on the PSLE days to ensure he got up for his exams...
How is he now? He is a fine young lad... Well mannered, humble, courteous.... I asked him if he can wake up on time now... he said "Of course. I'm always early now.." Haa.... He did not use the alarm clock we gave him... he said he still keeps the alarm clock and the watch in their respective boxes... too precious! hahaa.... He used to pierce his tongue.... We asked him to show us his tongue... he proudly showed us his clean tongue and said "come on, i'm in secondary school already!" haaa.... he has grown up! Now he sleeps at 9.30pm each night..... hahaa.... WOw..... All i can say is God is good.... I believe that the Lord sustains and protects all the children under our care....
I do get discourged at work.... But i really thank the Lord for incidents such as this... that remind me that hey, the Lord ur God will fight for you.... Sometimes it seems like the things u do don't really make a difference... but hey, the Lord's mighty hand is at work.... His ways are higher than all our thoughts....
Thank u Lord for this reminder! I praise u!

"LAbour is worhip to the Lord...."
"Balance your life........"

Well, it's not that i am sick of each day as it comes... i'm not! i still look forward to seeing my students and all... and there r many things that happen daily that put a smile to my face... it's just.... there are also many moments that i just sigh and think to myself, "Is that all there is to life?" hahahaa......

Tired...
I think time passes so fast..... we're half a month into july! b4 i know it, it'll be the end of the year.... haha...
Last weekend, our 1st 3 mth jc class had a meetup. haha. It was hilarious talking about those funny moments back then.... hahaa.... about how we (almost) skipped maths class, but were threatened by the teacher and headed back to class (we were already at the mrt!)... haha... and we all can hardly remember many of them in the class.... lost contact... wonder how they all are!
I heard this song by don moen on youtube that day.... i think the words speak volumes of how i feel......
Like Eagles
O my soul
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
It's been told form the beginning
The Lord your God is on your side
O my soul
don't be afraid
Hope in the Lord
By His righteousness and power
He will strengthen
He will guide
Chorus:
And I will soar
On wings like eagles
Held by the hand of God
I will run and not grow tired
When on His name I call
For the Lord is never weary
His ways are beyond my thoughts
I will trust in Him
With all my heart
(Repeat verses and Chorus)
And I will rest upon His promise
Patiently I'll wait...
(Repeat Chorus 2 times)
I will trust in Him With all my heart

ramblings...
these few days i've been thinking quite a lot... hmm, to say i'm affected by the things happening around me, maybe... i don't really know... oh well...
interacting with parents is part of my job.... and i must say, some parents are really, really not doing what's best for their child! sigh, then again, parenting is really not easy! As i see so many kids weekly, it really hits me that the way your child grows up is really in the Lord's hands... I mean, you can provide a good environment for him... send him to the right classes or schools... in the end it is really the grace of God that will make your child who he is... hmm!
all the while i know i'm a person who doesn't like changes.... i am quite inflexible... haha... So changes do affect me... I feel sad when things around me change from good to bad.... from perfect to imperfect.... And it's worse when i can't do anything to change the situation.... Ai, i really don't like change... But i need to know the God is REally always in control, no matter what..
Haha, i think i'm getting old.... rambling on and on.... hahaha... told u i've been thinking these days! Hahahaha... Well, one thing that the Lord has been speaking to me is that only He remains constant forever... Everything else around us can change and will change if God says so.. So accept change... embrace change.... But above all, through this may i learn to cling to God and God alone.
Ok! Enough for today... good night!! :)

Nothing Comes Close
It's been a long time since i asked the Lord for a new song! Hmm... this short song is entitled "Nothing comes close"... There was once when i was worshipping the Lord in service, and I felt so close, so divine, like i was in heaven... The feeling is indescribable... And at that time, i told the Lord, This feeling that I have now, Nothing can ever replace it..... Hope u'll be blessed by the song too!
Nothing Comes Close
As I stand in Your presence
Peace fills my heart
When I lift my hands
Surrender all
Your Spirit lifts me up
You lift me up
Chorus:
This feeling in my heart
This dancing of my soul
The love you have for me
So pure So real So true
O Nothing..
Nothing Comes Close
So real, so true
Your love for me
Lord I surrender to You
As I stand in Your presence
Peace fills my heart
When I lift my hands
Surrender all
Your Spirit lifts me up
You lift me up
Chorus:
This feeling in my heart
This dancing of my soul
The love you have for me
So pure So real So true
O Nothing..
Nothing Comes Close
So real, so true
Your love for me
Lord I surrender to You

Time Flies!
haha, i can't believe it's july already! We're into the second half of the year, much faster than it seems!
Hmm... I reached home at 7 today!! wow... so early right?? Felt so happy on my way home leh! hehehe.. i think i was even smiling to myself! haaa............ Nah.... u must understand... today i had this assembly talk that i was so apprehensive about! haha.... and finally it's over, and it was ok... so... i felt so free!! hee hee... so happy. hahahaa.
Anyway..... as i was saying.... time flies! Half of 2008 is gone just like that! haa... Mmm, so far it's been a good year... It feels like a very different year... don't know why! haha.... Well, for one, this is the first year that God has led me to write many songs!! It's always such an exhilarating experience each time i pen down the songs.... which reminds me, i haven't been writing any recently! oh no! hahaa...
One more thing, this year I've started exercising more.... haha... though i need a lot more discipline in it! haha! I really enjoy monday evening Cardiomix lessons with tng.....(and the delicious dinner after each lesson,haha!) and the occasional jogs with pam, sara, del, chin... very fulfilling! hee... And we are joining more runs together too! which in itself is rather exciting! it's literally RUNNING together as an ohana! hahaa.. ok not funny... hahaha...
Let's see... what else.... Hmm, Work! Well, this year i see the evident deepening of relationships with the children, with volunteers.... it's really different! And God has certainly blessed me with the privilege and honour of seeing some fruits of our labour! Well, there are certainly moments that i'm down, but when these life stories come in, it just puts a great big satisfied smile on our face.... PRaise God!
Well, just a simple story ro share... there is this boy, last yr P6.... he was big and burly, loud and rash.... really! He was literally our benchmark for everything.... hahaha... Yet this boy had this distinct leadership and charisma in him... and it was so evident that he had a very good and kind heart... i remember last year, when derrick shared with him that his teacher had a lot of confidence in him to do well in his exams, he broke down... And that is no small deal, a big burly boy like him breaking down.... Well, what has become of him now? We always worried about him, even after he left school.... It's that kinda boy that either do v well or v badly cuz he had so much potential, so much energy in him..... Haha, lo and behold, he has become a model student.... he even came back to receive a special prize from the school... hahahahaha... it was a huge shock to us, seriously.... we were so amazed, we know it can only be God... i mean, really! It was Impossible! hahahaa... Praise the Lord.... The last we heard, he was going to the library on saturday to borrow books... HAHAHAHA... my eyes almost poped out.... haaa..... God is amazing, Amen?! :)
I look forward to an interesting second half of the year... Praise God for what he has done so far.... Yup.. Thank You Lord! :)
Hmm... I reached home at 7 today!! wow... so early right?? Felt so happy on my way home leh! hehehe.. i think i was even smiling to myself! haaa............ Nah.... u must understand... today i had this assembly talk that i was so apprehensive about! haha.... and finally it's over, and it was ok... so... i felt so free!! hee hee... so happy. hahahaa.

Let's see... what else.... Hmm, Work! Well, this year i see the evident deepening of relationships with the children, with volunteers.... it's really different! And God has certainly blessed me with the privilege and honour of seeing some fruits of our labour! Well, there are certainly moments that i'm down, but when these life stories come in, it just puts a great big satisfied smile on our face.... PRaise God!
Well, just a simple story ro share... there is this boy, last yr P6.... he was big and burly, loud and rash.... really! He was literally our benchmark for everything.... hahaha... Yet this boy had this distinct leadership and charisma in him... and it was so evident that he had a very good and kind heart... i remember last year, when derrick shared with him that his teacher had a lot of confidence in him to do well in his exams, he broke down... And that is no small deal, a big burly boy like him breaking down.... Well, what has become of him now? We always worried about him, even after he left school.... It's that kinda boy that either do v well or v badly cuz he had so much potential, so much energy in him..... Haha, lo and behold, he has become a model student.... he even came back to receive a special prize from the school... hahahahaha... it was a huge shock to us, seriously.... we were so amazed, we know it can only be God... i mean, really! It was Impossible! hahahaa... Praise the Lord.... The last we heard, he was going to the library on saturday to borrow books... HAHAHAHA... my eyes almost poped out.... haaa..... God is amazing, Amen?! :)
I look forward to an interesting second half of the year... Praise God for what he has done so far.... Yup.. Thank You Lord! :)
