Orientation M207

Was just randomly looking through some pics today...and then I saw this folder for orientation for M207....wah...I miss those days when I was orientation officer for group 5 (Prick 5) with Pui FUn, Chris, Troy (but he got sick after the first day...so sad...) and the M107s....I really miss those days man...super fun...Group 5 rocks!!!
This group is super sporting, super fun and is da bomb!!! Thank you to all Group 5 members who made this orientation a memorable wan for me!!!

After treasure hunt...All drenched coz it was raining so heavily...



Variety night...George..U're the RAIN man!!!

We got First Prize for the Tong Hua music video performance...I must say it was damn nice and touching...along with the melodius singing....so BEAUTIFUL...


After variety night...


GOTHIC appearance by Min, Pui Fun, CHing Li, James and Kajen



GOTHIC night.......where everyone gets to dressed up!!!!



OMG....i miss those moments so much..Can't believe tat time really flies past when u're having fun...
Can't imagine when the time comes to start mugging and studying again...3rd of March Sem 5 starts...sigh...WHY????????



Then after sem 5 I have to part ways with some of my friends d.....so SAD..........:( Can't imagine how it'll be like when it's time to send your friends off to PMS....sigh...But absence makes the heart grow fonder...If u do not experience their absence..u'll never know how much they really mean to u...So, I have to begin cherishing every moment we have left together in SEM 5....(though I dunno if I have the time and energy to savour the moments...coz it'll all be channeled to studying...sigh...)


Anywayz, quote of the day for me : A new day, A new hope. I pray for happiness for myself and those around me. No matter how hard the day has been, how much you've struggled....Look ahead, for the dawn of a new day promises a new beginning, another fresh start...Begin clinging onto this hope, it'll never fail you and you'll realize that whatever you've been through isn't so tough after all...tribulations are designed to make us grow stronger and not wither :)

SHALOM

Verses on Trials, Tribulations and Sufferings

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Persevreance must finish its work so that you may be mature, complete, not lacking anything

Jas. 1:2-4

Shalom (peace in Hebrew) : wholeness or well-being around

We have peace of GOD

We have peace with GOD

We need to extend peace of GOD to other people

Thank you God for choosing me, allowing me to open my heart to you and experiencing peace with you and my surroundings. I finally felt at "HOME".

Beautitudes - Beautiful Attitudes

The Beautitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3-10

When Pastor Daniel said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." It somehow rang a bell in me. Last week Vera asked what is the verse that God have for your life. I had no clue then. But, I think these two verses somehow stood out to me today.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted

It tells me that it is ok to feel sad, dissapointed, dejected, depressed over certain things. There are ups and downs in life, none of us are exempted from that. And to mourn over our losses, mourn over mistakes, mourn over problems...is something so natural of every human being. However, to mourn and have nowhere or nobody to turn to is such a helpless situation. It'll only drain energy from you and it'll never be replenished. And you will only continue to dwell into the matter deeper and deeper, enstrangled by the grasps of darkness and gloom. Every road you turn to seems to be a dead end. This was what I encountered in the past.

Now, God has taught me that if I mourn and turn to him at the same time, I will always have find comfort, solace, peace and solutions. I just have to open my heart to him when I am in a dire need for answers to the problems I'm facing. I just have to tell Him, " I've done my best, I'll leave the rest to you." And He really did share the burden for me.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth

I feel that it is vital to be humble and timid in everything I do. I always think that I am never 1st in this world, I am always 2nd no matter how good I am. No matter how well I do, I remind myself that there are so many people out there who is better than I am. But sometimes, it is hard to suppress the feeling that, " Wow, I am on top of the world" when I've accomplished something especially if it is something that is hard to come by.

Personally, I realized that whenever I have the least feeling of pride over my achievements, that is when disaster strikes. The balance beam tips over, overconfidence comes in and things will begin to fall apart.That is why I tend to think that everybody else is a bar/rank above me. I believe that it is better to stay at a level which is further away from the brim of the cup rather than to be at the brim and be at brink of spilling/overflowing.

But I don't really know. Sometimes I feel that I have too low a self-esteem. At least, that's what people tell me. That will not get things done. I really don't know whether I am the former or latter. I hope that in time, I will find out.

Anywayz, I think these are the verses that God wants me to embrace, for now. I hope that I will be able to cling onto it and make the best out of it. The road ahead of me will be tough, rocky and winding, but I believe with the grace of God along with the two verses He spoke to me, I will sail through the hard times, because I believe and I know that He is always holding my hands. If I do not let go, I will be led to the correct path. No matter how difficult the road is, I will reach my destination, if I stay by His side. That is His promise to me. And on my part, I will try my best to fulfill my role, as a child of God.
