A Week After 1UP camp! =)

Praise the Lord! This is the first thing I want to say after having a not-so-busy week! Despite my negligence over this blog throughout this week, I personally felt closer to God attributes to 1UP camp that I've attended last week! I was granted the ability to speak in tongue (despite I wasn't brave enough to walk forward last Sunday when Pastor Dave asked if there's anyone wants to be granted with such ability and he was praying for them) by manifestation of Holy Spirit. I felt closer to God and whenever I'm trying to find God, I will start speaking in tongue subconsciously! The success of the camp is not calculated based on the mere three days, but rather how long could your close relationship or strong connection with God last after the camp! All is well, for now. =)

I'm still missing my friends but oh well, I'd be seeing them (I hope) tomorrow yeay!!! I hope I would be able to get my mom's car out to attend Sunday service and this time would be a uber great one as there would be a 12 years anniversary celebration of Acts Church tomorrow! Wooohooo! =))) On the Sunday a week before the camp, I joined some church members to play badminton after service and it was super fun, after more than 3 years never hold the racquet! Tomorrow I will join them again, looking forward! =))

Yesterday (Friday) we had CF and we didn't have speaker. So we had cell group and I was one of the leaders! The topic yesterday was about busyness and we were given a story (Luke 10: 38-42) to read, thanks Kiesha! =) I didn't prepare much but I had so much things to share with everyone about busyness. Regardless of what you are doing now whether you are studying or working, often we are so busy with our work and assignments with due dates and put God behind. It's good if you are not so busy and still having a very strong relationship with God, but what about the rest? I wouldn't say that I'm not busy at all as my busyness level can vary according to season. I tend to get very busy when exam's coming, but lay back during other time.

But do you know we can still stay close with God despite our busyness? When can you find time to serve Jesus, to talk to Him? Spend 10 minutes before you sleep to read Bible and pray to Him doesn't sound bad at all. Pray to God giving thank early in the morning, too. For me, when I'm waiting for Casa bus to come, I will again spend my time talking to God. I will just talk about everything, cause you can never hide anything from God. He knows everything and whether you want to share it with Him, it doesn't matter cause He knew it.

When I'm busy and stressful, I would pray to God, surrendering everything including stress and study into His hands, for He controls everything and nothing is outside his realm of power. Have you ever asked yourself the purpose of you indulging youself in the current busyness? Getting a good degree and a bright career ahead? That's good, but it would be even greater if you could attribute everything to God and praise Him, glorify Him, of your success and achievements; and blessings He provided you in abundance. Remember, ask God something and He will always give you abundantly. Busyness is only short run, so is your current busyness worth your time investing? Eternal life is more worthy to invest in, I think.

Penning Down Thoughts

I never had the habit of journaling, and it was never my thing. You see, I had a hard time polishing my language skills. Having grown up and educated in a Chinese primary school and surrounded by Chinese-speaking community at least two third of my life, I had the tendency to speak and think in Chinese. English was out of my realm of mastery. Mandarin Chinese is my mother tongue after all. Ironically I have been widely misunderstood as being a 'banana' - a Chinese who only speaks English.  It seems I do have a 'banana' look. I have been told that I speak and write English better than my Chinese sentences, which the latter often seems to be awkward and to some extent, trying too hard. Can't really blame me right? I have not been consistently writing Chinese for the past 10 years. But this is blatantly deceiving! My English proficiency has not always been acceptable. Reading back my blog posts even just 5 years ago brought myself to embarrassment. In short, I d

What Owning a Turbocharged Car has Taught me

If there is a single word that can sum up what owning a turbocharged car for the past one and a half year has taught me, it will be this — humility . I have quite a number of people telling me my car is cool, fast and what not. But instead of getting all boasted up, I can't help but to be humble at my slow car. Slow car? You wondered. For a hot hatch making well above 234 horses on the wheel with 270Nm torque, this Neo turbo boosting 1-bar (14.5 psi) is producing more than double a stock Neo CPS is making. This is certainly not a slow car by any conventional family car standard. But with this comes a hefty price, in terms of time and money. The maintenance cost is not cheap, as it is the case with any other turbocharged car. Turbocharged vehicles are more prone to component failures just simply by the fact that there are a lot more things that can fail within the complex system, as compared to a much simpler naturally aspirated mode.  I have educated myself with how a

2 Weeks Experiences in The New Class! =)

Listening to: The more I seek You - Kari Jobe It's been two weeks since I joined the new class! Most, if not all, of my new classmates are quite friendly to me, gratefully! Thank God for that! Within the first few days I've recognised and remembered most of my classmates' names! =p Okay to be frank, I was trying to memorise. That's why I could remember their names fast, and blend into their group easily? =) How? Facebook does the trick! Adding someone into your friend list in Facebook will definitely improve your ability to remember names. Well it works for me, at least! =p Okay why am I keep writing posts about PE1? I don't know, just want to share my thoughts with everyone, how I spend my time in the new class and so on. During break time I tend to hang out with a group of new friends, and a large portion of them were from Catholic High School, PJ. Haha I was supposed to go there, but I didn't. My younger sister did, anyway. Most of them tend
